Ep. 8: Chiko faces rogue scientists seeking the Daughter of Twenty Faces' war data to cure their human tank experiments.

8

Chiko attempts to establish a normal school life and make friends, but Shunka remains resistant to this change. Uncle Genji, a family friend, requests Akine's assistance regarding two rogue scientists, Nozomi Kayama and Takashi Tsuya, who are wanted by a pharmaceutical company. These researchers, who previously experimented on themselves to create an ultimate soldier known as a human tank, believe Chiko possesses war-era data as the Daughter of Twenty Faces that can cure them. The scientists initially abduct Shunka, forcing Chiko to intervene and rescue her. During the confrontation, Dr. Tsuya loses control of his body and attacks everyone before dying. Dr. Kayama escapes, warning Chiko that she will likely be targeted by others seeking the legacy of Twenty Faces.
