You are face-to-face with Ginra.
>Greetings, my friend. I truly must thank you for all of your hard work. It means a lot to me, especially now that I can buy my way into Heaven! 150 gems is a high toll, but anything to be with my beloved goddesses. >There's just one last issue... divine beings smile upon simple mortals such as you. So pure! So innocent. I can't have you making me look bad, can I...? >So... I'll kill you. (...)

You quickly estimate where the nuts on a being such as this might be, and launch at tentacle at that spot.
It doesn't work very well. Your tentacles aren't very strong, and Ginra doesn't exactly have nuts - at least, not where you can see.

As the tendie hits Ginra's eye, it slinks back into the dark goo (his eyeball, too). For the first time, Ginra goes quiet.

As Ginra seeps away into nothing, you're lowered gently towards the ground. A small puddle of black goo dissipates before you, ending his maniacal reign. There are a few gem shards on the ground, but they've got no power anymore.
