Ep 18. The Strongest Woman in the Universe

Gene and Jim explore the Stardust Road - a stretch of space between two planets that's rumored to be haunted by a ghost ship. Along the way they meet Twilight Suzuka, an incredibly strong and skilled assassin who is also searching for the same ship. The trio eventually manages to locate the ghost ship, but before they can investigate it they are attacked by a group of space pirates.

During the battle, Twilight proves herself to be a fierce fighter and helps Gene and Jim fight off the pirates. She reveals that she is searching for the ghost ship because her employer wants to obtain a rare and valuable object that is rumored to be on board. However, when they finally board the ship they find that another group of bounty hunters has already taken it and are looking for the same object.

The bounty hunters include Fred Luo, Gene's former partner in the Anten Seven, and his new partner, a woman named Suzie. Suzie is revealed to be the strongest woman in the universe and has been taking on all comers in an attempt to solidify her status as the strongest.

A battle ensues between Twilight and Suzie, with both women proving to be incredibly skilled and evenly matched. However, Twilight is eventually able to gain the upper hand and defeat Suzie. She retrieves the object that they were all searching for and takes it back to her employer, leaving Gene and Jim behind.

As the episode ends, Gene and Jim reflect on their adventure and Gene expresses his admiration for Twilight's strength and skill. The episode ends with the three adventurers going their separate ways, but leaving the viewer with the sense that they may cross paths again in the future.
