"Power," the heavily serious follow-up to "Sign of Life," includes no sadism scenes except insofar as Tomoki is still injured from his encounter with Ikaros Melan, an evil version of Ikaros sent by the Angeloid's malefic creator. Next, in "Intellect" Ikaros revives and defeats a bunch of other androids, but can't help Tomoki with the wounds he received from the impostor. Chaos shows up but after a great display of power she's shocked by seeing the injured Tomoki and flies off. Tomoki goes to the hospital and recovers, becoming his usual grouchy self. Not until "Holy Night" does he get back to his erotic pursuits, conning Nymph into giving him a wish that transforms him into Santa Claus. However, his idea of gift-giving is to steal clothes from all the local cute girls, including Sohara, so that they have to wear the salacious attire he leaves for them. Sohara belts him once, but he almost talks his way out of a beating. However, the lascivious perv does get some sort of off-panel walloping, since he's next seen stuck head-first in a Christmas cake, while the androids blissfully ignore his plight. Verdict: JUSTIFIED.
