Summary of Undead Murder Farce episode 1

In the previous episode, set in an alternate Tokyo of 1897, the Great Purge was underway. It is a large-scale, organized extermination effort to eliminate supernatural beings, including ayakashi and trickster yokai, under the guise of Westernization.

During a martial arts show, an Oni Slayer effortlessly defeated a supernatural creature, captivating the cheering audience. After the performance, the troupe’s leader revealed that the defeated creature, a shokera, had been acquired at a low price. It became clear that the troupe had access to many such monsters. Interestingly, it was also revealed that the Oni Slayer himself was not a human.

The next night, while the Oni Slayer fought a giant cat, a maid was shown in attendance. Later, she tried to follow him while carrying a birdcage with her. When the Oni Slayer attempted to investigate the birdcage, they got into a fight. However, the Oni Slayer effortlessly pinned her to the ground.

A voice from the covered birdcage commended the Oni Slayer for keeping up with Shizuki, the maid. The voice seemed to know a lot about the Oni Slayer, including the fact that he was half Oni and half Human. It also understood the difficulties he faced in maintaining his sanity and predicted his impending death due to the way he was created and his daily performances.

Then, the cover of the birdcage was lifted, revealing the head of a woman named Aya Rindo, who claimed to be an Immortal. Aya offered the Oni Slayer a proposition: if he killed her, she would share with him the secret to extending his life.

She explained that her body had been stolen six months prior, leaving her as nothing more than a disembodied head. While an Immortal would normally regenerate their body, a wound from an Oni prevented such possibilities. It was precisely because the Oni who attacked her was a weakened hybrid that Aya survived. She also revealed that the attack was ordered by an old man hailing from another country, carrying a cane with the letter M engraved on it.

Later in the episode, Aya questioned the Oni Slayer, whose real name is Tsugaru, about why he continued performing with the troupe, knowing it would decrease his sanity and lifespan. Tsugaru revealed his desire to unleash his Oni side, going mad and taking down as many spectators who enjoyed watching monster fights as he could before the police arrived and shot him down.

Tsugaru also rejected the plan of killing Aya, as he believed she knew where the old man who had stolen her body was and how to return to normal once she retrieved her body. It was revealed that the same person also stole Tsugaru’s humanity away by turning him into a Hybrid. So they decided to pursue the culprit in Europe.

Finally, Aya disclosed her plan to prolong Tsugaru’s life by allowing him to consume a portion of her. The Immortal’s cells, known for their remarkable resilience, would help slow down the decaying process. It was mutually agreed that Tsugaru would accept her saliva, and the episode ended with a kiss between them.
