Ep. 2: Mato confronts Kagari's manipulation while Black Rock Shooter faces Chariot and Dead Master

Mato waits for Yomi at a festival, but Kagari prevents her departure. Mato dreams of Black Rock Shooter fighting Dead Master, who bears a chest scar matching Yomi’s. After Saya explains dreams connect friends, Mato visits Yomi. Kagari fakes a stair fall to maintain control, later revealed to be a fabricated injury from a past car accident to ensure Yomi’s dependence. Mato insists Yomi return home, urging her to value friendship with both Mato and Kagari. In the parallel world, Dead Master breaks free and is captured by Black Gold Saw. During the chaos, Chariot attacks Black Rock Shooter and is killed. This event triggers a brief outburst from Kagari before she appears to return to normal.
