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...!?"
