Summary

Karma provokes Grip into a one-on-one fight rather than let him summon backup, dodging and blocking every blow while knowing a single grip of the man's hands would finish him. When Karma kicks him low and turns to close it out, Grip springs a hidden gas spray, apparently paralyzing the boy, but Karma has already covered his mouth and answers with a stolen dose of Smog's own paralytic, downing the killer. He disarms Grip, calls Terasaka over to help bind him in duct tape, and reveals he lifted the gas from Smog after the earlier defeat.

Korosensei muses that Karma has learned humility since his exam collapse, only to take it back as the boy gleefully packs chili paste into the helpless hitman's nose.

Key Events

Reaching the bar floor, the group needs to open a door from the far side, so the girls volunteer, and Karma's idea forces a reluctant, cross-dressed Nagisa to join them as cover. Yuji Norita pulls Nagisa aside to clumsily flirt, while Yada fends off pushy men with a yakuza pin borrowed from Irina and Okano knocks out an aggressive guest with a somersault kick. The girls reach their goal, and Nagisa slips away after quietly advising Yuji to keep trying without drugs or bravado.

On the next floor Korosensei has Terasaka use his stun rods, luring two guards into an ambush with Mimura, and Terasaka recovers two real revolvers. Korosensei entrusts them to the marksmen Hayami and Chiba with orders not to kill, just before the assassin Gastro enters the concert hall and blocks the way ahead.
