On the Californian town of Arcadia Oaks, Trollhunter Kanjigar fights Bular under a bridge moments before sunrise. He is mortally wounded by him, and taking advantage of the fact that trolls turn into stone when in contact with sunlight, he sacrifices himself in order to stop Bular from retrieving the amulet. Meanwhile, James "Jim" Lake Jr. and Tobias "Toby" Domzalski hurriedly ride their bicycles to school, taking the canals en route. There, Jim finds the amulet in the pile of stones. He innocently takes it, before resuming their ride to school.
