A subway train is about to rear end another one somehow! Probably related to the vaguely bad-guy-seeming people.

Batou gets tired of the (sexual?) tension between Heine and Naoto, and bounces. He meets Doug, who wants to know if Badou is still looking for his brother Nails. Nah, Nails is dead and it's better that way. We drip-feed Naoto a bit of backstory- Nails was (probably) killed investigating a thing, and that's (probably) where Batou lost his eye. We all head back to base or whatever, where a moeblob tries to patch up Naoto. That's another character I assume I'm supposed to know from Vol. 1.

Back to the subway. The bad guys (?) are indeed ramming a civilian (?) train with their own, then slaughtering the passengers. But, here is the one other character I know from this series, I think! A middle aged guy who got on the wrong train wakes up, and is mildly annoyed at having to solo this squad of super soldiers. We toggle back and forth between this and Batou pressing Heine for his backstory. Heine has a "collar" scar, and his first memory is of waking up and meeting Giovanni in a dark place. There are a bunch of similar-looking people with him. (I am reminded of homunculi from the Fate franchise but I am guessing this came first) They're all dead now.

Heine's flashback continues- nobody really knows what's going on, and a monster dude pops out and starts smacking them around. Angelika, the amazing yandere oneesan doctor shows up to start the fight officially and spout cryptic lines. The girl clone we were talking to rips the monster apart. The collars seem to be turning more of the kids into similar monsters, so we got us a bloodbath goin'. Our berserker friend calms down and is scared and crying. Batou comments that this sounds like a manga, and Naoto wants to go there but Heine doesn't remember how to get there.

Meanwhile in Subway Land, Old Snake is fending off waves of attackers, trapped in the car with the remaining civilians. Some weird priest dude shows up to confront Fu-sama. I thought it was Giovanni but the dialogue reads like it's another dude. He wants to know why she and Einsturzen are starting a war. Fu and Priest Man clash briefly before he reveals he's blind, and refuses to give his name, instead sharing some cryptic insights. Old Snake got his arm run through by a sword in the process of clearing out the small army. He's annoyed about it.

Moeblob kinda sucks at sewing (is she mute? she seems mute) so Batou takes over repairing Naoto's clothes. Fu-sama's full name is Campanella Fruhling. The murderlolis receive word that we're moving. I think the bad guy contingent just hangs out in a giant train or something? It's big enough that Batou and pals feel it moving, and Naoto and Moeblob seem particularly traumatized by it. Naoto doesn't appear to remember her whole past, but she sees Fruhling ride by on the roof of the train and they lock eyes, sparking cryptic but traumatic-looking flashbacks. Heine considers chasing the train, but Old Snake and Blind Priest show up to dissuade him. Heine recognizes Blind Priest but not Old Snake. Naoto screams for no apparent reason. Fruhling is more pissed than usual. Moeblob's name is Nill, probably. Naoto passes out. Some people I don't know react to something I can't parse. Some other dude I don't know and can't see takes a phone call about the subway explosion.

Blind Priest re-introduces himself as Ernst Rammsteiner, a failed experiment (the first) of the bad guys and guy who saved Heine back in the day.

My rating: 8/10
Boy I wish I had context for some of this!
