The episode opens with Shu, Inori, and some of their allies attempting to hack into a GHQ database to gain information on the whereabouts of a valuable resource known as the "Void Genome." However, their mission is interrupted when they are ambushed by GHQ forces, forcing them to flee.

As they regroup in an abandoned building, Funeral Parlor's leader, Gai Tsutsugami, reveals that the Void Genome is a mysterious power that manifests differently in each individual. These powers are known as Voids and are physical manifestations of a person's deepest emotions or desires. Gai explains that the GHQ is determined to obtain the Void Genome in order to create weapons of mass destruction.

To prevent this from happening, Gai proposes that they launch a daring heist to steal the Void Genome from a GHQ research facility. However, they are faced with the challenge of finding someone with a compatible Void who can extract the power from the sample they plan to steal. After some searching, they discover a girl named Yahiro who possesses a Void that can extract other Voids.

As they plan their heist, Shu is tasked with investigating a suspicious transfer of funds within GHQ. With the help of a hacker named Tsugumi, Shu follows the money trail to a hidden facility where he discovers that GHQ has been experimenting on children in an attempt to create more Voids.

As Shu grapples with this devastating discovery, Funeral Parlor launches their heist. With Yahiro's help, they successfully extract the Void Genome sample from the research facility. However, their victory is short-lived as they are immediately ambushed by GHQ forces.

In the ensuing battle, Shu is forced to confront his own fears and insecurities as he struggles with the power of his own Void. Meanwhile, Inori unleashes her own powerful Void and proves herself to be a formidable fighter.

With the help of their allies, Shu and Inori manage to escape with the Void Genome sample. However, their victory is bittersweet as they are left to confront the harsh realities of the ongoing conflict between Funeral Parlor and GHQ.

Overall, Guilty Crown season 1 episode 3 is a thrilling and action-packed entry in the anime series that delves deeper into the complex world of Voids and the ongoing struggle for power between Funeral Parlor and GHQ.
