Summary

The episode starts off with the director talking to Shiro, who doesn't seem to be her normally cheerful self. He pulls out the many tubes attached to him and uses his Branch of Sin to attack Shiro, which she easily avoids.

Back at the recovery room, Ganta finds Yō looking over Minatsuki. He tells Ganta that she became his responsibilty ever since their mother died. At that moment G Block trembles violenty due to the blast from the fight between Shiro and the director. Due to the vibrations Minatsuki's bed rolls to the other side of the room where she falls out infront of a large cabinet that begins to shake and fall, but Yōmanages to stop it just intime, invoking a flashback where Minatsuki is trapped under rubble from an earthquake and left to die by her mother, but thankfully saved by Yō. They have a conversation and somewhat come in terms with each other.

Ganta, having a flashback of his own remembers a younger Shiro from his childhood and wonders where she is. Shiro having now decapitated the elder man's head, put's on the Red Man 's cap and mask, here we learn that Shiro is the Red Man, also known as The Wretched Egg.

In G Block, Ganta runs into Senji, who comments on Ganta's last battle. And gives his Branches of Sin a name, Ganta Gun. Back in their room, Yoh questions Ganta about Shiro. Ganta tells him that he just recently remembered that Shiro is a childhood friend, and recalls when they were little Shiro had saved him.

Back in the research department a furious Makina prepares to make her own rules. No longer trusting Takami.

Later Ganta rushes to Minatsuki's room searching for Yoh. She tells him that he just ran out in search of his stolen Cast Points. Ganta realizes that Minatsuki lost the match and has to participate in the punishment show. She tells him not to worry, as she has already lost a kidney and her stomach before. Ganta then runs off to continue his search for Yoh hoping they can buy Minatsuki's freedom, before it's too late.

On his way down the halls, Ganta is attacked by Koshio Karako, who knocks him unconscious.

Yoh finally found his Cast Points, makes his way back towards his sister but is stopped by Tamaki and a red-haired man, Azuma Genkaku dressed as a priest. There he finds out that he cannot use his Cast Points to shorten his sister's sentence and that she still must go through with the penalty game.

In a rage Yoh attacks Tamaki but is countered by Genkaku, who sends out a barrage of Cast Point cards to cut Yoh.

Ganta finds himself waking up in Karako's room, where she introduces herself as a Scar Chain member and admits to attacking him to test his strength. She then asks if he wants to join them, but before Ganta can decline, Kengamine Nagi, Scar Chain's leader appears and explains Scar Chain's mission, which is to destroy Deadman Wonderland to Ganta.

In a hurry Ganta tries to leave before the penalty show can begin but, is already too late. The show has already begun. Ganta explains to Nagi that he must stop Minatsuki from getting hurt. Nagi understanding, makes a call and has the Lotto Machine rigged, which results in Minatski only having to cut her hair.

Before they can celebrate, Genkaku appears with a wounded Yoh. Ganta then tries to attack him but Branches of Sin don't seem to effect Genkaku. Preparing to teach Ganta a lesson, Genkaku readies his weapon, two machine guns disguised as an electric guitar.
