Karakuri Circus EP3 - Abyss

Masaru's uncle Zenji Saiga tells the boy that he is safe with him, but he is suspicious. While the Slaughter Team prepare to attack the Saiga villa, Narumi bursts through the gates with Shirogane in a frontal attack on the Kidnap Team, prompting the Slaughter Team to follow. Shirogane encounters Takami, but Nakata attacks with the Rolling Arms karakuri, however the main door is a trap which destroys the puppet and kills Nakata. Shirogane then releases Harlequin who destroys the door allowing Ashihana and his men inside. Takami then attacks with her karakuri Theogualtier, but Shirogane destroys it with Harlequin. Meanwhile, while hiding from Zenji, Masaru finds notes written by his father saying that Masaru is bait to trigger the destruction of the Kuroga clan who engaged the Saiga to build their puppets. Meanwhile Narumi and Shirogane fall into a trap and Narumi has a Zonapha attack where Shirogane tells him why she cannot laugh and how she became a puppet master. In the tower above, Masaru desperately jumps from a window to escape Zenji, and fortunately lands safely near Ashihana. Masaru then offers to hire Ashihana's Slaughter Team to work for him.
