Supporting Char in an attack against Scirocco and Haman Kahn he would eventually run into Audrey Burne while battling both Haman and Garrod Ran. Once they break off, Banagher tells others of who he is just found to which Char confirms the identity of the girl as none other than Mineva Lao Zabi. Worried for her safety, Banagher pleads with the others to help him ensure his safety to which Char sympathizes. As the fighting progresses, Banagher’s doubts about his actions begin to increase as well as his fears about Audrey’s safety. This results in arguments with Char that become intense as Banagher sees Char use tactics that actually place Audrey in further danger.

In turn, Setsuna offers him advice to which he listens to after breaking off from the battlefield. Confronting Char, the two have their most heated disagreement yet when Haman breaks in and accuses Char of putting Mineva in jeopardy with his actions. Having had enough, Banagher takes to the battlefield and with backup from Setsuna and his allies as well as other defectors, manages to assist Haman, Audrey and those that had joined them in reaching safety, which includes facing off again and driving off Char. In the aftermath, Banagher and Audrey are reunited.
