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.

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.

Mayu's mother happily gives Kohta guardianship of Mayu.

Kohta and Yuka return to their university classes, accompanied by Nyu. Professor Kakuzawa, the son of Kurama's boss (and, by coincidence, a university lecturer) discovers Nyu. Claiming that Lucy is his brother's daughter, he takes custody of her away from Kohta and Yuka. Kakuzawa is revealed to be partly diclonius.

Bando escapes from the hospital before being castrated. He seeks to take his revenge on Lucy. Professor Kakuzawa Yū's decapitated body is found by his assistant and by Kohta. On her way to school, Mayu sees Bando, and is relieved that he is alright. Because she placed a tourniquet on his arm when he was injured, he gives her his phone number so that she can call on him if she's in a pinch. This relieves the debt which he feels towards her. When he asks if she has seen a woman with horns, Mayu asks if he means Nyu. He brutally interrogates her, and she returns the phone number, saying she's in a pinch. He drops her, walks away, and says he never wants to see her again. Mayu doesn't understand why Nyu is targeted. While searching for Lucy, Kohta and Yuka develop a fondness for each other, and they kiss. Finally, Kohta and Yuka find Lucy, and take her home.

Sumio WatanabeTakao Yoshioka5 September 2004 (2004-09-05)

Bando attacks Nana with heavy tungsten bullets. Unlike normal, lighter bullets, these can't be deflected with vectors, and she is wounded. Nana says that she wants to be good, as her father advised her, and not fight. He responds that she will be unwelcome everywhere because of her horns, as humans born with horns, the result of a virus, are killed at birth. Nana and others were spared for research. She remembers that Kurama was ordered to kill her and wonders why she was born. Using her longer vectors, she pins Bando down, but is dealt a glancing blow by a bullet. The gun's recoil breaks Bando's prosthetic arm. Because she is bleeding, Nana cries for Papa. Bando and Nana realize that Lucy has injured them both, and they team up.

Kakuzawa reprimands Kurama, Shirakawa (Kurama's second-in-command), and Shirakawa's assistant, for letting Nana escape and for failing to find Lucy. Meanwhile, Nana, ignorant of the world outside the facility, doesn't know what to do with the money she was given, and burns some of it.

Nana's blow knocks Nyu unconscious and she runs away after everyone blames her for hurting Nyu. As a result of living her life inside the facility, Nana is naive and sensitive about the events surrounding her. Nana tells Mayu that Nyu is really Lucy and what she is like, also explaining what diclonius are and their powers. Professor Kakuzawa's assistant is brought before the Chairman and forced to corporate with the facility in place of her boss. The Chairman tells Kurama he doesn't want a vaccine for the virus, but the virus. With Lucy, he wants to build a new mankind since homo sapiens are fading. Number 35 is arranged to kill Number 7 and retrieve Lucy by the Chairman over Kurama's frustration.

As Lucy is recovering from being hit by Nana, she goes through a flashback of her childhood, where she was raised in an orphanage all her life where her peers constantly bullied her. Even the staff called her creepy and did nothing to stop the bullying. Feeling lonely and ignored, she begins to develop her hatred for humans. When her peers discover that she has made friends with a stray dog, (discovered when a girl pretended to be Lucy's friend) they force her to watch as they beat it to death with a vase. In her despair, rage and bloodlust, Lucy activates her vectors and kills her schoolmates and blows up the entire blood soaked orphanage, her first murders.

They go to the zoo and later play in the water, where she thanks Kohta for the most fun she'd ever had in her life. Her hope in being re-acquainted with humans is briefly regained and she starts to like Kohta. However, when she discovers Kohta's cousin (Yuka), who he claimed to be a boy, is actually a girl, she loses hope, thinking he already had someone he liked and wondering why he lied to her.

Kurama's past is explained in this episode. He was a good friend of Professor Kazukawa, who invited Kurama to work with him and his father on the diclonius project after leaving university. He reluctantly agrees, however, as he is performing research, he is infected with the diclonius virus via transmission through their vectors, and as a result, his daughter Mariko is born a diclonius. He decides to kill her, however as his wife dies from complications after giving birth, begging him to spare her, so Kurama chooses to let her live. Lucy is revealed to be the original diclonius, the queen, who infected other humans with her vectors and began the outbreak, which is why all the new cases are happening in the same area. Meanwhile, as both Lucy and Nana are now part of Kohta's household, the facility decides to send "the most powerful" diclonius, known only as "No. 35".

Lucy has 4 vectors and a range of 2 meters. Under supervision from staff at the facility, she is released as a last effort to retrieve Lucy. Once free, she begins to slaughter the staff, but stops when a bomb in her arm is detonated. Since other bombs remain in parts of her body (Kazukawa's condition to letting Kurama's daughter stay alive), she is forced to agree to work with the staff. Nana senses Mariko's presence and her desire to kill her through their ability to locate each other. Mariko and Nana meet on a bridge on the shore and battle. Kurama, who supposedly "had to leave", has joined Bando to kill Lucy without the knowledge of Shirakawa and the staff.

As Shirakawa dispatches Mariko to kill Lucy, Bando is paid by Kurama to kill her as well. Mariko is about to kill Nana (as well as Kohta and Lucy), until Nana uses her vectors to deactivate Mariko's and falls off the bridge, as Mariko's vectors fail and she is taken away.

Mariko regains the ability to use her vectors and stages one final meeting with Lucy. They meet, and Lucy goes into a state of shock after losing one of her horns. Kurama, accompanied by Nana whom he rescued after she fell off the bridge where she battled Mariko, encounters their fight. Here, Mariko realizes that Kurama is her father and meets him for the first time, beginning to cry after finally encountering her father, who appears to have abandoned her for Nana. Kurama exchanges final words of reassurance to Mariko just before the bomb inside her chest is detonated, killing them both. The Director of the facility that had been holding Lucy, Nana and Mariko reveals he is a diclonius. Lucy, who makes it out of the fight alive, reveals her remorse and emotion for Kouta, who despite saying he can never forgive Lucy for killing his family, saying that he's always loved her and they kiss before she leaves to encounter the security team. However, Lucy's ultimate fate is unknown except that her other horn is broken, although it is possible that she is still alive or possibly dead as the shots of the guns continue, even after her horn is broken. The "family" of Kaede house, including Nana, settles down. As they are about to eat, Wanta barks at someone at the door. When Kohta goes to check, the music box playing "Lilium" stops and he sees a figure standing at the front door who might be Lucy. He then hears the grandfather clock, which Lucy had repeatedly attempted to repair, ticking again.

Transliteration: "Tōriame ni te arui wa, shōjo wa ikani shi te sono shinjō ni itatta ka?" (Japanese: 通り雨にて 或いは、少女はいかにしてその心情に至ったか?)
Mamoru KanbeTakao YoshiokaApril 21, 2005 (2005-04-21)September 3, 2013

Nana is still settling in at Kohta's home. After nearly killing Mayu when her arm flies off while trying to chop lettuce, Nana is given the task of helping Nyū clean the house. However, Nana treats it as a competition between her and Nyū, and repeatedly hurts herself and damages the building as a result. After getting in an argument with Kohta about her role in the house, she runs away and ends up at the beach, where she meets Bando again. He figures out that Nana knows where Lucy is and coerces her into agreeing to bring Lucy back to the beach that night. Later, Nana manages to get Nyū out of the house by saying she wants them to take a walk together to apologize for her earlier behavior, and she gets back to the beach where she starts having second thoughts. It starts raining, and Nyū slips in a puddle of water and hits her head, knocking her out. While Nana gets Nyū sheltered from the rain and tries to reawaken her, Nyū, now Lucy again, has a flashback of a time five years after her first encounter with Kohta (three years before the present day).

During the flashback, Lucy is shown to be hiding with Aiko Takada, who shares a similar interest in her as Kohta does. Lucy has been living day-to-day as a runaway for the past 5 years. However, when Kurama appears with some soldiers to try and capture Lucy, Aiko pushes her out of the way and takes a bullet to the chest that was meant for Lucy's head. In order to save her friend's life, Lucy agrees to sacrifice her freedom, and surrenders to Kurama without a struggle. Kurama promises Lucy that he will do everything he can to save Aiko, but she still ends up dying. When Kurama tells Lucy this, she tells him that she will not kill him, but instead take away everything he has ever loved, like he did to her, and she is shown crying through the mask on her face. Back at the beach, Nana is worried about Nyū because she won't wake up, and Nana can feel Lucy's life slipping away. Nyū then wakes up and, after Nana apologizes, Kouta, Yuka, and Mayu find them and they all walk home together.
