In Ga-Rei: Zero season 1 episode 4, titled "The Duty of Justice," we see the continuation of the intense battle between the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the supernatural entities known as the "ga-rei." This time, the focus is on Yomi Isayama, a skilled and powerful member of the government's anti-ga-rei squad.
The episode begins with a flashback to Yomi's childhood, where we see her being trained in swordfighting by her father. It's clear that Yomi is a natural talent, and her father is proud of her progress. However, their training is interrupted when they receive a message that Yomi's mother has been hurt in a ga-rei attack.
The scene cuts back to the present, where Yomi is now a respected member of the government squad. She receives a call from her father, who tells her that he's found a lead on the ga-rei that killed her mother. Yomi is determined to track down the creature and make it pay for what it did to her family.
Meanwhile, the other members of the squad are busy dealing with their own problems. Kagura, the protagonist of the series, is struggling to come to terms with her role in the group and her relationships with the other members. Her mentor, Yomi's partner Noriyuki, is struggling with his own guilt over his involvement in a past tragedy involving ga-rei.
As the episode progresses, Yomi's obsession with finding the ga-rei that killed her mother becomes more and more consuming. She throws herself into battles with increasingly dangerous creatures, and her friends and colleagues start to worry about her mental state.
Eventually, Yomi's quest for vengeance comes to a head when she and Noriyuki track down the ga-rei responsible for her mother's death. The ensuing fight is brutal and emotional, with Yomi and Noriyuki facing off against a creature that seems to be more powerful than anything they've ever encountered.
Without giving away any spoilers, it's safe to say that the climax of the episode is a heartbreaking and intense moment that will stay with viewers long after the credits roll. "The Duty of Justice" is a standout episode of Ga-Rei: Zero, showcasing the series' unique blend of action, drama, and supernatural thrills.
