Juzo spielt Rosas Datengerät ab, das Tokisadas Geständnis über Hayden enthüllt, während Mary die Extended-Hand untersucht.

Juzo plays the data device he obtained from Rosa, which has a brief voice recording of Mega Armed Tokisada admitting his role in covering up Berühren's role in creating Hayden. Meanwhile, back at the office, Mary examines the Extended hand to determine if someone is remotely controlling it. Suddenly they receive a warning call from Olivier just before they come under attack by Spitzbergen. They escape, but Tetsuro and Chris end up being captured while Mary manages to escape. Spitzbergen are seeking the data now in Juzo's possession which implicates Berühren in concealing faults with the Extended technology. The hand motions Mary to follow it, and it leads her to Victor who warns her to stay away from Extended. Later, Avio Cobo of the third public unit of the Reconstruction Agency, and Olivier's temporary replacement as director of EMS, tracks down Mary, seeking Victor for his part in the Spitzbergen attack. They call Victor the Dismantler for his ability to instantly pull Extended bodies apart. Avio is also seeking the data, but Juzo lies and says that he sold it. Later, Tetsuro and Chris are taken into the Spitzbergen headquarters. (Source: Wikipedia)

Mary offenbart ihre Vergangenheit mit Victor und plant, ihn in der Kyusei-Pit zu finden.

Mary tells Juzo about her early life with Victor and her plans to find him in the Kyusei Pit. Suddenly, they come under attack from Spitzbergen's troops, still seeking the data from Rosa's father and threatening to kill their hostages. Juzo disables them and warns them to keep the hostages safe. He then decides to accompany Mary and trace Victor into the Kyusei Pit, revealing that Victor was his first client and he asked Juzo to protect Mary. Meanwhile, Tetsuro is introduced to Wachowski who reveals that Tetsuro had been exploited and secretly used to fund Spitzbergen. In the Kyusei Pit, Juzo and Mary encounter the Extended hand she calls Lefty which leads Juzo to Victor surrounded by his headless "puppets". Juzo realizes that Victor has been controlling Lefty, but Cobo suddenly bursts into the hideout with Reconstruction Agency forces and attempts to arrest both Victor and Juzo. However, Victor disables them using a long extension from within his body and Lefty sacrifices itself to save Juzo. Victor then seizes Mary and threatens to dismantle Juzo to analyze his body, but Juzo is determined to fight Victor and continue to protect Mary. (Source: Wikipedia)

Victors Schatten-Selbst wird enthüllt, als Cobo eingreift, um Juzo und Mary festzunehmen

Victor attacks Juzo and quickly gains the upper hand, but Mary creates a distraction, allowing Juzo to sacrifice his remaining arm to grab Victor with his teeth while Mary fires his head gun at point blank range at Victor, destroying him. Through Lefty, Victor then reveals that his "shadow" self was controlling the body they destroyed, which was just another puppet. He explains that during the war, he created parallel sub-brain technology to more effectively remotely control Extended puppet soldiers. However, while on the battlefield, Victor was traumatized upon seeing the brutality of which Extended soldiers were capable, and briefly wished for the destruction of all Extended. Victor's own parallel sub-brain took over his body while he lay in shock, destroying the research lab and pursuing its goal of destroying all Extended. Just as Victor asks that Juzo eliminate his true body with the faulty sub-brain, Cobo reappears and shoots Juzo. He then places Mary and Juzo under arrest to prevent them from destroying Victor's real body, proclaiming that will be his job. (Source: Wikipedia)

Cobo nimmt Mary als Geisel, um Victor zu finden, während Juzo zurückschlägt und Mary sich dem Dismantler stellt.

Cobo finds another puppet body which the fake Victor the Dismantler is now using. He then takes Mary hostage and attempts to force the Dismantler to lead him to Victor's real body. Angered at Cobo's actions, Juzo activates his regenerative combat mode, which replaces his lost arms. Juzo and the Dismantler join forces to knock out Cobo, releasing Mary. Juzo then leaves to hold off EMS reinforcements giving Mary a chance to talk privately to the Dismantler. Mary tells him that she has realized he was born from Victor's hubris in the belief that his extensions improved humanity, when they only enabled humans to realize their own potential. The Dismantler then takes his leave, assuring Mary that Tetsuro will be safe with Spitzbergen. Olivier then arrives and relieves Cobo of his position on suspicion that he is secretly working with Spitzbergen. Meanwhile, Wachowski approaches Tetsuro requesting that he aid them, and Tetsuro recognizes him as one of the scientists responsible for the creation of Extension technology. Wachowski wants Tetsuro to help Spitzbergen use Juzo to eliminate Seven, who is the greatest obstacle in Spitzbergen's plans to destroy Berühren. Wachowski asks Tetsuro to use Harmony to force Juzo to erase his identity and thus fully activate his combat programming. To press his request, Wachowski threatens the safety of Tetsuro's friends if the boy refuses. (Source: Wikipedia)

Olivier offenbart Juzo das Sorgerecht für Chris und Tetsuro, während John Podpies Voyeurismus zu einer Konfrontation führt.

In an effort to convince Juzo to give her McMahon's data, Olivier reveals that Chris and Tetsuro have been released by Spitzbergen, and that the EMS has them in custody. Meanwhile, Rosa goes to Juzo's office to confess her feelings for him but finds him with Olivier and misreads the situation. This is all observed by the tracker, John Podpie, whose Extended eyes provide him with a type of X-ray vision. When Juzo visits the Gosling barber shop for a service, Podpie also enters and requests a shampoo. While Scarlet washes his hair, he secretly photographs her underwear through her clothes and develops a massive nosebleed. When Mary enters the shop, she recognizes him for the pervert he is and punches him unconscious. When he comes to, Mary has downloaded all of his images and wants to hand him over to the EMS, but Scarlet insists that he be released. Podpie attempts to use his eyes at full power but becomes terrified at what he sees inside Juzo's body. Juzo lets him go with a warning that using his eyes for profit only turns him into a tool for others, like he himself was in the past when he part of the Noble Rot unit, descending into a mindless killing machine for the military. Juzo tells Mary that Podpie may yet use his eyes for good instead of evil. (Source: Wikipedia)

Juzo und Tetsuro untersuchen das Verschwinden von Emma Kurtz' Ehemann Edmund.

Olivier warns Juzo that Tetsuro escaped from EMS custody before he could be interrogated. Tetsuro is back with Juzo and has a new voice implant from Spitzbergen enabling him to now speak normally. A new client, Emma Kurtz, visits Juzo's office asking him to find her husband Edmund who is also an Extended but has recently disappeared. Juzo heads out to find Edmund with Tetsuro who is conflicted about honoring Wachowski's deal. Juzo discovers that Edmund's file is restricted like his own. Meanwhile, Mary comes across Edmund, comatose in an alley, and takes him back to Juzo's office to treat him. When Juzo returns, Edmund takes Juzo outside and immediately attacks him. He mistakenly suspecting that Juzo is out to kill him, however when a young boy interrupts their battle, Edmund realizes he has made a mistake. He initially thought Juzo is his former partner Five who is also a gun-head unit. Emma arrives and admits that she has known for some time that Edmund is her former fiancé, Theodore, and that she set up Juzo because he is also a gun-head unit. As Emma and Theodore/Edmund are reunited, Juzo reveals that he allowed himself to be a target, and that he killed Five himself, six years earlier. (Source: Wikipedia)

Mary entdeckt, dass Victor Tetsuros Stimmbox gebaut hat, während Theodore seine Vergangenheit als Hand offenbart.

Mary identifies Tetsuro's new voice box is the work of her brother, Victor. Theodore admits to Juzo that he used to be Five's Hands, but he was ordered to hand Five over to the military after the war. Because the military planned to dispose of him, Five escaped and started a Gun Slave unit rebellion which Juzo was hired to put down, killing his former comrades. Tetsuro tells Mary that of the thirteen Gun Slave Units which survived the war, only four still exist: two imprisoned in Wunder Bender, one (Seven) with Berühren and Juzo (Thirteen). Tetsuro is still conflicted whether to take control of Juzo. He confronts Juzo about it, admitting his involvement with Spitzbergen, but Juzo tells him to believe in himself. Meanwhile, Cunningham assigns a new mission to Pepper and Seven. At Spitzbergen, Kunugi begins to question Wachowski's motives but then Juzo arrives carrying Tetsuro's unconscious body, apparently under Harmony's control. Wachowski explains that he dedicated himself to research of extended technology funded by Berühren following his brother's injuries during the war but believes Berühren misused his creation. He hopes that Tetsuro's Harmony will remove Juzo's limiter enabling him to unleash his full power against Seven and destroy Berühren. Several Spitzbergen fighters are summoned to test Tetsuro's control of Juzo. (Source: Wikipedia)

Tetsuro konfrontiert Wachowski wegen des Terrorismus in Spitzbergen, während Juzo gegen untergeordnete Truppen kämpft

On the lower levels, Spitzbergen troops have difficulty defeating Juzo because he was never under Tetsuro's control. Tetsuro reveals to Wachowski that he used Harmony to hack into his own sub-brain to fool him and demands that Spitzbergen stop committing acts of terrorism to defeat Berühren. In exchange, Tetsuro offers to defeat Seven using Harmony, however Wachowski explains that terrorism is the only way to defeat Wurzel which controls Berühren. He tells Tetsuro about the history of Berühren, the takeover by Wurzel, his formation of Spitzbergen to defeat Wurzel and Spitzbergen's degeneration into an anti-extension terrorist group. Meanwhile, Juzo defeats the Spitzbergen fighters so Kunugi fires needle bullets into his back, temporarily immobilizing him and restricting his movements. Back on the upper level, in a further effort to enlist Tetsuro, Wachowski reveals that he built a secret feature capable of destroying Wurzel into Juzo which can only be released by Harmony. Tetsuro refuses to allow Juzo to be exploited and so the frustrated Wachowski rises from his wheelchair, revealing that he is an Extended. He attacks Tetsuro with his weaponized extensions, but Tetsuro still has Harmony to control extension technology. (Source: Wikipedia)

Tetsuro besiegt Wachowski, während Kunugi die Verbindungen von Spitzbergen zu Berühren und Terrorismus aufdeckt.

Tetsuro uses Harmony to remove the limit on his own extensions to defeat Wachowski, although he suffers a severe injury himself when one of Wachowski's cables punctures his body. Tetsuro refuses to pass judgement on the old man and kill him, but as he staggers away someone else does. Meanwhile, Kunugi fires his special needles into the surviving Spitzbergen fighter Shimazu, which causes a massive increase in physical strength, but also reveals that she is a woman. Juzo swallows his remaining cigarettes to overcome the effect of Kunugi's needles on his nervous system and defeats Shimazu. Kunugi reveals that his sponsor is really Cunningham and that Berühren has funded Spitzbergen as a tool to promote terrorism and increase public fear which sanctions Berühren's continued development of extension technology. Shimazu recovers and angrily attacks Kunugi for exploiting Spitzbergen, but Pepper appears and protects Kunugi. Seven then arrives with Wachowski's head and follows Pepper's instructions to attack Juzo. Juzo invokes his restricted combat program to fight back, but Pepper removes Seven's limiter and states that she wants to control Juzo as well. While Juzo and Seven fight it out, Kronen von Wolf intercepts Kunugi as he leaves the scene, and he prepares to apprehend his former colleague for his terrorist activities. (Source: Wikipedia)

Kronen greift Kunugi an, während Juzo zusammenbricht, woraufhin Tetsuro Zugriff auf Juzos Erinnerungen aus der Vergangenheit erhält.

Kronen von Wolf tries to arrest Kunugi, but he is shot by Kunugi's needles, and they are interrupted by Juzo and Tetsuro falling through from the level above. Kunugi escapes as Seven pursues Juzo and unleashes a mighty blast. Pepper reveals that without a Hands, Juzo cannot activate his Devil's Backbone and act independently to compete against Seven and she again asks him to join her. He refuses, and Tetsuro decides to use Harmony to remove Juzo's limiter. Tetsuro suddenly finds himself in a place where he has access to the trigger of Juzo's gun and memories of the last time Juzo saw his former Hands partner. This was when Juzo was pursuing the renegade Gun Slave Units and Tetsuro sees how Juzo lured the other units into a trap so they could all be destroyed at once, completing his mission. This also marked the time when Juzo became free to make his own decisions. (Source: Wikipedia)

Tetsuro hilft Juzo, seinen Limiter zu überwinden, während Cunningham Truppen gegen Pepper und Seven mobilisiert.

While Tetsuro is connected to Juzo through Harmony, he discovers why Juzo became a Resolver and convinces Juzo that he has the resolve to pull his own trigger. Meanwhile, the disturbance caused by the battle between Juzo and Seven at the End of War Commemoration Park is reported publicly as an apparent rampage of Extendeds. Cunningham panics when he realizes Pepper and Seven have gone rogue and mobilizes his forces to eliminate them. The fight between Juzo and Seven is interrupted by the appearance of the Beruhren forces and Seven avoids capture by escaping to the rooftop. Pepper sees that the building is surrounded by EMS forces holding back the city's citizens. In a bid to creat an impact and be remembered, Pepper orders Seven to "destroy everything", but she is shot by a Berühren assassin, losing an arm. Seven prepares to implement Pepper's order, but her is stopped by Juzo because Tetsuro enabled him to overcome his limiter. Wurzel observes these events from afar as the conflict between the two Gun Slave Units unlocks previously unknown capabilities within Harmony, furthering their plans. They consider retaking Tetsuro but delay any intervention in order to monitor Harmony's development. (Source: Wikipedia)

Pepper enthüllt, dass Berühren Seven gefangen genommen hat, während Juzo ihre wahre Beziehung aufklärt.

Pepper is in custody at the Reconstruction Agency Holy Church Hospital and missing her right arm. She recalls her time at Berühren where she was introduced to Seven. They were both prisoners, both with fragile mental states, and she agreed to become his Hands in the hope that he would become her possession. Meanwhile, Mary treats the injured Spitzbergen fighter Shimazu, while Juzo visits Pepper in the hospital. Juzo retrieves her after she attempts to escape, and Pepper reveals that Seven was taken by twin female Extendeds from Berühren. Juzo explains to Pepper that she never "owned" Seven, but he had decided to stay with her, and he had asked Juzo to protect her just before his capture. She then offers to tell Juzo the location of his former partner. With the entire incident at the End of War Commemoration Park covered up as a terrorist attack, and Seven in Berühren's possession again, both Olivier and Juzo realize that her superiors are colluding with their real enemy, Berühren.
