In the first episode of Elfen Lied, entitled "Chance Meeting," viewers are introduced to a world where humans and a new species called Diclonius coexist in tension. As the episode opens, a young Diclonius woman named Lucy escapes from a government research facility after years of confinement and experimentation. With her powers of telekinesis and the ability to create invisible, sharp vectors, Lucy leaves a trail of destruction in her wake, killing anyone who gets in her way.

Meanwhile, a young man named Kohta moves back to his hometown for college and rents a small house from his cousin. While walking on the beach, he meets a mysterious and naked girl who has lost her memory and can only say the word "Nyuu." Unable to leave her to fend for herself, Kohta brings her back to his house and tries to help her remember who she is.

Kohta quickly realizes that this girl is not like anyone he has ever met before. She has strange, child-like mannerisms, and her occasional violent outbursts scare him. He also quickly learns that she is being pursued by the government and that anyone associated with her could be in danger.

Meanwhile, a team of government agents led by a sadistic man named Bando is dispatched to find and capture Lucy. They track her down to Kohta's town, and a brutal battle ensues between them and Lucy. Whether Kohta and his new friend will be able to escape the violence and danger that surrounds them remains to be seen.

Overall, "Chance Meeting" sets up the world and characters of Elfen Lied well, introducing viewers to a dark, violent world where humans and Diclonius are deeply divided. The juxtaposition of the innocent, child-like nature of Nyuu with the violent and unstable Lucy creates a deep sense of unease and tension that permeates the episode, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats. The episode ends on a cliffhanger that promises more action, more violence, and more questions to be answered.
