Ringo Roadagain's backstory is revealed: he was once the sick child of an ostracized and impoverished family. One night, his mother and sister were killed by a deserter, and he was nearly raped, only getting away by shooting the deserter. Ringo's sickness disappeared, and he became a gunslinger seeking challenges to purify himself. Funny Valentine later employed him to retrieve the Corpse part from Johnny.
 
Chasing away the last doubts within him, Gyro clearly formulates his goals in this race: to discover whether Marco deserves his death sentence and to discover the truth behind the Corpse. With a clear objective and not ideals in mind, Gyro challenges Ringo again. Using his Steel Ball's [[Scan]], Gyro reveals that Ringo has a weakness: his left shoulder bearing an old wound capable of paralyzing and killing him should it reopen. Both draw their weapons, and while Ringo kills Gyro, he is hit on the the shoulder and becomes paralyzed. At the brink of death, he uses his gun to rewind time once again. In the second duel, Ringo protects his shoulder but is then impaled by a splinter that fell the last time, which Gyro memorized the trajectory of. Acknowledging his defeat and Gyro's growth, Ringo honors him and welcomes him to the real man's world before being finished off by Gyro.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 33}} to {{Ch|SBR Chapter 35}}</ref>
