The battle continues. Jun is called upon to handle more than she ever imagined. She exhibits abilities that were unimagined by the Human Alliance (HA), to meet an unexpected challenge. Jun still can't believe what is happening and wonders if it was all a nightmare.

Jun begins to make enemies. Those that would destroy humankind make it clear that Jun and her loved ones are fair game in the war. They cannot understand why she holds onto her inferior human side. Catastrophe strikes someone close to Jun. Jun continues to find new abilities to the surprise of her enemies and the HA.

Jun is still reeling from previous incidents, and reflects on how she was different from others. She falls into self-pity, as she is seemingly being held captive by the H A, the very organization that utilizes her to destroy other beasts. Jun is leery of people in shadows, thanks to her last encounter. A new beast with an unusual characteristic is discovered. This new characteristic doesn't make it any less dangerous. Asuka discovers a new power of Jun's.

Thanks to Asuka, Jun has an unplanned reunion with an old friend from high school where they didn't part in a friendly manner. Jun and her ex-classmate had a difference of opinion on what the relationship should be. It seems that all anger has dissipated, but has it? Meanwhile Kazumi feels a little left out. But there is no need to worry. Jun's encounter strengthens the bond to Kazumi.

Jun experiences a love / hate relationship first-hand, when she meets someone who idolizes her and loves cats. What do you do when you are so talented that you inspire love and hate? You face it head on! Is Jun up to the task?

With each transformation, the risk increases that Jun will lose her human side. Is it possible that the childhood story of the Grim Reaper will be Jun's undoing? Recent events take Jun's thoughts back to the story her grandfather told her hoping she would go to bed. Of course Jun's curiosity was only increased. Is her next foe The Grim Reaper?

The HA continues their attempt to keep the general population from discovering the devil beast phenomenon. A broadcaster attempts to release the news of the devil beasts. Jun is introduced to Dr Jason Bates, an American from the Samuelson Lab. Jason has come to observe the giga effect, which transforms the devil beasts into giants. He doesn't believe that beasts are inherently evil and that devil beasts can hold on to their human soul. Jun's confrontation with the broadcaster doesn't go as planned causing Dr Bates to doubt Jun's strength. Asuka feels humiliated and berates Jun.

Jun dwells upon her previous failure and the disappointments of Asuka and Jason. While looking into a store window, Jun feels someone watching her. Jun finds herself in the park in a photo shoot. Kazumi is interviewed and photographed. She also meets someone who has an interest in what happened to her family. Those around Jun begin to question her sanity when she seems to continually feel watched. Is she being watched, or is it just her imagination?

A large fire at the Sakura Housing Complex looks suspicious. Firemen are surprised to find a a survivor in the rubble. Asuka and Jun disagree on how the small survivor should be treated. Asuka believes the survivor to be a devil beast, since survival would have been impossible otherwise. The fact of the HA having no experience with a devil beast being a child doesn't temper Asuka's belief. The Biochemical Investigations Team decides to study the child. Kazumi reviews a videotape that was sent by Sakazawa. Remembering his earlier comment she wonders about Jun. Jun's frequent and sudden departures don't help Kazumi's confidence in their relationship.
