The Most Notorious "Talker" Runs the World's Greatest Clan episode 8 majorly focused on the battle between Noel Stollen and Koga Tsukishima. While the anime finally revealed a clear victor between the two Seekers, something that was highlighted the most was Noel Stollen's determination to become the strongest Seeker.

The episode, titled The Makings of a Champion, showcased what made Noel Stollen special among all Seekers. Despite Finocchio's threat and offer to become the leader of the Gambino family, Noel Stollen remained adamant about his dream of becoming the greatest Seeker.

The Most Notorious "Talker" Runs the World's Greatest Clan episode 8 opened with Albert Gambino picking Koga as his champion for the duel. While Alma Judikhali wanted to become Noel's champion, Noel himself stepped into the fight. Koga was again mesmerized by Noel's charisma but fought him to the best of his ability. Following some back and forth, Noel tricked Koga and froze him. Right after, he defeated him with a heavy kick to the chest.

Just then, Finocchio revealed that he was a Scout Class A-Ranker Punisher. With that, he held onto Noel's heart, threatening him to join the family. However, Noel did not budge from his decision and stared death in the eyes. Hence, Finocchio let go of Noel's heart.

After Albert Gambino was sent to live in a pigsty by Finnochio, Noel Stollen was granted the ownership of Koga Tsukishima. However, just as he was done with the paperwork, Noel revealed that he did not want a slave but a wolf who could help him reach his goal of becoming the greatest seeker.
