Katana vs. Chainsaw Aki defeats the Ghost Devil by letting go of his fear when remembering Himeno, allowing him to approach it without it fighting back, and cuts off its head. Akane attempts to kill Aki with the Snake Devil, but Kobeni appears and holds Akane at knife-point. Aki asks Kobeni why she chose to stay with Public Safety and she responds that bonuses are coming soon. Denji fights Samurai Sword on a train, and defeats him using a chainsaw blade grown in his leg. Before handing Samurai Sword over to the police, Aki and Denji have a nut-kicking tournament to see who can make him scream the loudest. The Snake Devil kills Akane in an act of involuntary suicide before she can reveal more information about the Gun Devil, while Makima reveals the Gun Devil flesh they obtained in the mission combined with what they had before will allow them to pinpoint the Gun Devil's location. Denji has a dream where he sees a door in an alley, but Pochita's voice tells him not to open it. Meanwhile, a woman questions to herself whether Denji would rather be a country mouse or city mouse.
