In 1946, four years later, Lawrence visits Sergeant Hara, who has now been imprisoned by the Allied forces. Yonoi's batman then commits seppuku in atonement after urging Yonoi to kill Celliers before Celliers can destroy Yonoi. Yonoi challenges Celliers to single combat saying 'If you defeat me, you will be free' but Celliers refuses, thrusting his prior assailant's bayonet into the sand. Celliers manages to escape his cell and rescues Lawrence, only to be thwarted by Yonoi unexpectedly. Yonoi's batman (personal servant) suspects the mental hold that Celliers has on Yonoi so he tries to kill Celliers but fails in the attempt. Celliers, who is known by the nickname of 'Strafer' Jack (a strafer is a 'soldier's soldier'), instigates a small number of rebellious actions, one of which is supplying the men with food after their rations have been suspended for two days for their actions during a seppuku of a Korean guard, which Yonoi deems as 'spiritually lazy'. As Celliers is interned in the camp, Yonoi seems to develop a homoerotic fixation with him, often asking Hara about him, silently visiting him in the small hours when Celliers is confined.
