Satsuki and Senketsu team up to try and free Ryuko from Junketsu. A task made difficult when Nui decides to join in on the battle.
Examples:
- Get A Hold Of Yourself Man: When its revealed trying to rip Junketsu from Ryuko will prove fatal; Mako and Senketsu instead opt for this to the point they (with Satsuki's help) invade Ryuko's mind and false memories to snap her out of it.
- Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: When Ryuko come back to her senses, she throws her scissor blade at Nui and impales her on part of the ship.
- Fan Disservice: Parental abuse notwithstanding, it can be hard to find anything pleasing in an Imagine Spot of Ragyo with her daughter Ryuko, and lackey Nui in the same bed. Naked. It certainly doesn't help that Ryuko is under Junketsu's influence since last episode while experiencing this.
- Kissing Under the Influence: Upon being brainwashed by Junketsu which Ragyo forced onto Ryuko, Ryuko kissed Nui. Nui then comments that her kiss is better than Ragyo's. It's entirely played for Fan Disservice.
- No-Sell: Granted, the Elite Four were counting on her being pretty tough, but all the attacks they throw at Ryuko have no effect on her.
- Rain of Blood: Weaponized as when Mako and Senketsu invade Ryuko's mind, she slashes at them. However, their blood splashing on her reawakens her true memories, finally allowing Ryuko to free herself from Junketsu. Which causes even more blood to rain down in the real world when she literally tears the dress off her.
