The Man watched Joe and Emeral discover the meaning behind his riddle. He noted their concern over destroying the statues, and picked up some of DS's thoughts, since DS no longer has his powers handy to use to block his own thoughts. Soon he was muttering to himself...

"That idiot, he actually thinks that I would make the consequences of destroying the statues dangerous enough to destroy the town? If only he knew how stupid that thought is."

The man was soon distracted by Happosai trying to get through the barrier. Or rather, Soun and Genma using Happosai to get through it. They were holding a pair of panties against Happosai's back, while Happosai was pinned against the barrier. The man just laughed at the futility of it. Genma got tired of holding the panties on Happosai, so he pinned them there and left him. Happosai, for his part, was not enjoying himself.
