Episode Title:
Annihilation ~ Vernichtung.
Episode Description:
The offshore facility, headed by the scientist Kurama, sends a task force, led by the ruthless, cold-hearted, assassin Bando, to hunt down Lucy. They encounter her in her innocent "Nyu" state at a beach in Kamakura. She is hit over the head by Bando. Bando then tells his partner to finish off Nyu, but the hit reverts Nyu back to Lucy, who kills Bando's partner, and goes after Bando. Lucy shoots Bando and also dismembers and blinds him but, before killing him, she reverts to Nyu. So, we learn that the personalities of Lucy and Nyu switch between each other depending on events. After being injured by Bando, Kohta is placed in a hospital but is not severely injured, and is released hours later, while Yuka looks for Lucy. He encounters Lucy back at their house and forgives her. Since Lucy is the only non-sterile diclonius, the staff at the facility will help Bando only if he agrees to be castrated, as Lucy wishes to create a world populated only by diclonius and can "infect" someone who has been touched by her vectors. Any children Bando would have would be diclonius.
