Following the battle between Vash and the third member of the Guns, Dominique the Cyclops, Legato gathers with The Gung-Ho Guns for Knives's reawakening at the place called Jenora Rock, which Vash senses and rushes to. Upon being reawakened, Knives twists Legato's neck in a 180 degree angle and then breaks his limbs when Legato instinctively moves to attack Vash. Elendira later comments that this was also influenced by the fact that Legato had used The Gung-Ho Guns to settle his personal vendetta against Vash, and that it is amazing that Knives should decide Legato's life worth sparing at all. Legato's wounded body is then placed in a coffin that is chained shut except for the head area. He uses his controlling powers on a large ogre creature to serve as his transportation. The creature is killed and Legato forcibly taken back by Elendira following the battle between Vash and Hoppered, and Legato is placed in a new coffin with primitive metal limbs.
