Eyecatch: Yohji
Yohji has a dream about Asuka/Noi. Schreient is shown with Aya-chan and Masafumi. Schulderich enters and asks them to research kundalini. People are found with their backs slit in a subway and abandoned car. Weiss is given a mission to hunt down a lab that removes the backbones of human guinea pigs. Birman asks them if they know about kundalini, a powerful life energy found in the lowest part of the backbone. It is taught in yoga that a great amount of energy is hidden there if you can unleash it. The lab is trying to use kundalini for evil purposes. Birman gives them a list of kundalini research centers and tells them that four women are always seen near the bodies. Weiss searches the labs. Schreient attacks Ken and Yohji. Yohji is hit by Noi repeatedly. The rest of Weiss appear and Schreient escapes. Tot remembers Nagi saving her from the burning building after Weiss fought Masafumi. Ken enters Yohji's room and sees Yohji with Noi. Ken runs out and stops Omi from entering the room. Yohji thanks Omi. Ken helps Omi with research on the labs. Noi wakes in Yohji's room. Aya bursts in and demands to know where his sister is. Omi and Ken discuss Asuka as they sort through the data. Aya tries to force Noi to tell him where his sister is but Yohji stops him. Ken enters Yohji's room to find both Yohji and Noi missing. Yohji drives with Noi. The three SS executives discuss Aya-chan. They mention that she hasn't aged since she was 16 and that they have everything they need for the ritual. Yohji goes to a clothing shop that he used to visit with Asuka and remembers her admiring a hat that is still there. The store was Asuka's favorite. He goes to their favorite restaurant with Noi. Omi returns to the shop and Ken tells him that they investigated the rest of the labs on the list with no success. Aya asks where Yohji is and Ken tell him that Yohji's investigating on his own. Aya asks Yohji about Noi but Yohji refuses to help him. Ken suggests that Noi is deceiving him and Yohji almost hits him. Yohji drives off with Noi. Ken asks if Yohji is coming back. Yohji takes Noi to the place Asuka was shot. Yohji calls Weiss and tells them where the lab is. It's the same place they investigated the first time, but the real lab is underground. Omi sets explosives above the entrance. Schreient appears and asks how it feels to be lead into a trap by one of their own. Tot pulls a rope and the floor below Omi collapses. Ken falls in with Omi and Schreient attacks Aya. Yohji tries to help, but Noi blocks him. Noi explains that everything was a deception. Omi collapses on Ken and Chen explains that the lab used to be a military research center. There are things left that will kill in a short period of time if they enter the blood stream. Noi professes her love for Masafumi as Yohji kills her. Her last words are "Masafumi, I love you." The lab burns and Yohji drives. He remembers Asuka and asks "What am I?"
