Texhnolyze

Ichise and Kano have a showdown. What will become or remain of the city of Lux? More origins of the Lux is revealed.

Ichise meets his father's ghost. After trying to re-gain entry to the Lux, Toyama tells Ichise Ran has been captured by Kano for his purposes, then challenges Ichise to a duel.

Ran has a vision of the Obelisk sweeping over her. The killings, mostly against the Organo continue. Shinji and Onishi meet with the elders of Class.

Ran is being discussed as a Watcher, relieving the duties her grandfather. The invasion of Shapes has reached the city of Lakan. A group of Salvation Alliance members discover someone is Texhnolyzed.

Ichise and Doc meet with Class.

Ran is overwhelmed by a vision of Ichise's future.

The war for power continues, and Yoshii is helping to keep the hatred between the powers alive and well. A top official of the Organo has come down from the hil, what if anything, will any of the warring factions do about this sudden appearance.

It now appears an all out war between rival gangs is looming, who will survive the conflicts and who will be crushed?

Ichise finally confronts the man responsible for severing his limbs. After applying a Repetition of punches, he is retaken by the Organo.

Yoshii explains the politics behind Lux: At one time it was ruled by the Elder of Gabe, but in recent times the power has switched to Organ because of their military strength and efficient organization. He says that the people of Lux have lost their 'natural healing process' in their bodies. He also says that the Class built their own world to live in isolation from the people of Lux. Doc explains all about the Texhnolyze process. Basically, is connects to the body's nervous system and transmits its own 'neural information' to the brain (hence why people with Texhnolyze have crazy vision). She also explains that the reason it all works is because of Lafia, which is mined in the Mine. Lafia basically relaxes the body's instinct to reject organs that are alien to the body and allows Texhnolyze to sync with the body.

Things just aren't going Ichise's way. In an attempt at blind rage, he gets his left leg cut off by Isshii (in addition to his right arm in the first episode). Oonishi sees his men at the warehouse and scolds Aida for not coming to him first. He then tells Ichise that he won't kill him because he still has the will to live. After this, Ichise drags himself through the streets with his severed limbs tied to his good leg. He eventually fashions a makeshift crutch, but it doesn't help him that much. Yoshii and the Elder have a little chat. Yoshii says that he didn't come down for any particular reason. The Elder doesn't really know if Yoshii's coming is a good or a bad omen. He has Yoshii take the train to Lux with Ran. On the train, we learn that Ran comes to the city alone often and that she sells flowers at the market there. We also learn from the Elder that she has the ability to see into the near future.
