Aki turns to face Sawatari, the former devil hunter who has a pact with the Gun Demon to get Pochita’s heart. The woman, allied with the Serpent Demon, summons the Spirit Demon that she swallowed in the previous episode and began to suffocate Hayakawa. But Aki remembers something that Himeno had told her about the Spirit Demon: having no eyes, she could only see her opponents through fear. For this reason, when he is about to die, he evokes the moment when, during dinner, his partner offers him a cigarette, but, knowing that he is a minor, she takes it from him and promises to give it to him when he needs it in the future.

The Spirit Demon lets go of Aki and one of its arms hands him a cigarette with a written message: “Easy revenge!” (“Avenge yourself at ease!”). It is implied that it is a message from Himeno. The devil hunter guards it, slowly walks on the demon’s back and cuts off its head. As Sawatari is about to summon the Serpent, Kobeni surprises her from behind her with a knife and Aki asks him not to kill her.

Denji does not accept, and the rematch begins in the building and then ends on a train. When protecting a woman, the Chainsaw suffers a cut on one of his arms and then the other. Although the fight was tied, it seems that Katana Man is about to win. However, Denji still has his head sawed off. They face off in one last move: the devil hunter ends up splitting his rival in two.

Then, he ties him up with his chains. They are both wearing underwear. Denji wants revenge for what he did to Himeno and he doesn’t know how, because he understands that prison won’t be enough if he doesn’t regret killing his friend and leaving his team without a beautiful woman. When he is pondering some options, Aki appears and calls for reinforcements to take Katana Man away.

A Requiem For Himeno

Denji proposes to Aki that they kick Katana Man in the crotch for killing Himeno. Hayakawa’s serious personality does not accept that possibility, because it is not up to them to torture their detainees. He then remembers the message from Himeno’s cigarette and accepts, relaxed, not wondering if it’s right to do that to a vanquished enemy. But the revenge for the death of Himeno does not need remorse, but hard kicks in the most fragile part of Katana Man, as a competition between friends. That is the requiem that he has offered and Aki hopes that Himeno can hear in heaven or where they will meet again soon, as he has thought in his fight against Sawatari.
