Episode synopsis
A large fire at the Sakura Housing Complex looks suspicious. Firemen are surprised to find a a survivor in the rubble. Asuka and Jun disagree on how the small survivor should be treated. Asuka believes the survivor to be a devil beast, since survival would have been impossible otherwise. The fact of the HA having no experience with a devil beast being a child doesn't temper Asuka's belief. The Biochemical Investigations Team decides to study the child. Kazumi reviews a videotape that was sent by Sakazawa. Remembering his earlier comment she wonders about Jun. Jun's frequent and sudden departures don't help Kazumi's confidence in their relationship.
About Devil Lady
The beautiful and successful supermodel Jun Fudou meets a woman named Lan Asuka, who confronts her with a werewolf monster, which she calls a devil beast. As a result, unimagined powers awaken in Jun, and she manages to defeat the monster. She, just like this werewolf, is part of the next step in human evolution: humans who can mutate into beast-like monsters and then mercilessly terrorise civilisation. Unlike the other devil beasts, however, she can retain her humanity, which is her undoing because Lan Asuka is a high-ranking employee of the government and of the “Anti-Beast Special Squad”, which wants to abuse her powers and train her to mercilessly hunt down her own species. Caught between these extremes and her weak self, the question arises: what fate will Jun meet? Will she ever be able to decide it for herself?
