The official preview screenshots and plot summary for Episode 4, "The Worst Trio," of the 2026 winter anime DEAD ACCOUNT have been released. This supernatural action series, adapted from the original work by Shizuka Watanabe, will see a major turning point in this episode.

Episode 4 "The Worst Trio" Plot Summary

According to the latest official information, Episode 4 focuses on a practical exorcism mission. Under the arrangement of their mentor, Shizuki Yomaru:

The protagonist, Soji Enishiro
The class representative, Kukuru Kasubata
Kiyomi Urusugawa

The trio heads to a large electronics retail store to carry out a basic mission to purge "Lower Grime." What initially seemed like a simple training exercise to build teamwork takes a sudden turn for the worse with the unexpected appearance of a powerful enemy.

A Mid-Level Transformed Grime Appears: All Attacks Are Ineffective

Just as Kasubata and Urusugawa are demonstrating smooth coordination and the exorcism is proceeding smoothly, a Transformed Grime of mid-level or higher suddenly appears. The strength of this vengeful spirit far exceeds expectations:

Kukuru Kasubata's physical hammer attacks are completely ineffective
Kiyomi Urusugawa's spiritual power manipulation also fails

Faced with this desperate situation where both physical and spiritual attacks are useless, this impromptu team finds themselves in a dire crisis.

Is Soji Enishiro's Hidden Power About to Awaken?

The biggest highlight of Episode 4 is the protagonist Soji's movements. The preview text hints: "Soji's ability hides a new secret...!?"

Soji, who has always been seen as having unstable spiritual power—does his "blue flame" possess the characteristic of devouring high-level electric spirits? The true value of being a "Dead Account" holder will be revealed in this episode.
