Ep. 3: The Monster in a Perpetual Cycle of Death and Rebirth Struggles to Break Its Chains until Seduced by a Soul Entrapped by Destiny

3

Kuroitsu struggles after her latest monster, a hydra, is easily beaten by Blader. The original design would have eight auxiliary heads and venom spitting powers, but due to budget and time restraints, her Department can only afford one extra head and no venom. Later that night, Kenji wonders if he can balance being Blader with his part time job to make ends meet. Kuroitsu soon gives the monster two extra heads, but the end result is the same. As Kuroitsu stumbles into Kenji's restaurant, she accidentally inspires him to remember why he became Blader in the first place. Next week, she redesigns the Hydra to have four extra heads. Later, Cannon Thunderbird has an existential crisis after failing a job interview. While working at Agastia-affiliated Leafland Amusement Park, he comes to the rescue of Hydra just as she is attacked by a pair of magical girls. Using a gun and thunder powers, he is able to drive back the magical girls. Hydra thanks Cannon by bringing him a homemade lunch the next day. (Source: Wikipedia)
