Tropes
Almost Kiss: Genta and Yukimi almost kiss before Buu-san comes back to warn them about NOAH soldiers approaching them.
Call-Forward: The schematics for the Demons Driver are briefly shown in a shot inside NOAH HQ.
Cooldown Hug: Yukimi tries to stop Genta from exacting revenge on NOAH by hugging him. She fails.
Exact Words: Vail tells Genta to press on both sides of the Vail Driver to relieve the suffering of the wounded NOAH soldiers. He just doesn't say that it means he'll escape the Driver and then kill the said soldiers in a particularly brutal fashion.
The NOAH Captain formally introduces himself as Buu-san to Junpei/Genta and Yukimi.
Vail reveals himself as the red demon who killed Junpei's parents, and in turn reveals that he did so under the influence of NOAH.
The Power of Hate: NOAH weaponized this by goading Vail into killing Junpei's parents, then stoking the young man's feelings of vengeance and hate to make him the ultimate demon-killing machine.
Red Eyes, Take Warning: Genta's eyes glow red after he allows Vail to possess him in order to exact revenge on NOAH.
The Reveal: Yukimi reveals why she named Junpei Genta: it turns out to have been the name of a stray dog that Yukimi adopted without her parents' knowledge.
Yukimi (present): No matter what it took... I had to stop Genta.
