After Denji and Power make progress with their training, and Aki gets a new contract with the Future Devil, Division 4 sets off with a team new of devils and fiends to attack Samurai Sword and Sawatari at their base.
The ending for this episode is "Violence
" by Queen Bee (Ziyoou-vachi).
Tropes:
- Adaptation Deviation:
- The manga obscures that Kobeni was on the mission, making it seem like she had actually resigned. Here it clearly shows Kobeni joining Denji, Power, and Aki as they enter the compound.
- In the manga, it was unspecified what happened to the yakuza Makima demanded names from after she shows off her bag of eyes. Here, several more of Samurai Sword's thugs die spontaneously (if not as violently as the previous ones) before a cut to Makima leaving the scene alone, implying she got the names and then killed them all. Sawatari is briefly affected, but is unharmed besides the initial nosebleed.
- Comically Small Demand: When Aki is about to contract with the Future Devil, he is warned that generally contracts with this demon have high prices (someone had to give up half of their life span, and other person lost their eyes and senses of taste and smell to contract with him), but after the Future Devil sees Aki's future he is so amused by the way he dies that the only thing he demands of Aki to form a contract is to live inside his right eye.
- Deadly Gaze: When a yakuza lackey tries to attack Makima after she reveals a bag of their loved ones' eyes, she looks at him, his nose starts bleeding, and he falls over dead. This ability wasn't explained so far, but it seems to be a variation of the same ability she used in episode 9.
- Eye Scream: In order to persuade the yakuza boss to give her the info she wants, Makima presents him with a paper bag filled with the eyes of the lovers, parents and children of everyone present in the room, promising to restore them if her request is obliged.
- Necessarily Evil: The yakuza boss discusses this trope with Makima claiming that, as bad as the yakuza are, they do not compare to what other criminal gangs from other countries could do if left unchecked. Makima has none of it, telling him to his face his words are only self serving excuses, and the only evils worth keeping around are those under the leash of the government.
- Second-Face Smoke: The yakuza boss blows smoke on Makima's face as a deliberate show of disrespect/defiance. She remains unfazed...and very quickly makes him regret it.
- Took a Level in Badass: Sawatari notes that Aki seems to be a "little better" since their first fight when she sees him go through a horde of yakuza lackeys without much problem.
- What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Kishibe discusses this with Makima, as he believed that he wouldn't care about Power and Denji as much as he currently does since they were just a couple of "toys" that he could finally play with.
Tropes specific to the ending credits:
- Ambiguous Situation: The ending lends further fuel to the possibility of Violence being born from Arai’s body in that it shows shots of Public Safety characters (including the dead Himeno), but Violence is conspicuously in place where it makes sense to have Arai.
- Deliberately Monochrome: The entire ending is rendered in black and white, possibly just for Rule of Cool reasons.
