Episode 14

Worn down after unlocking his new power against Saw, Shin visits the godhanded chiropractor Granny Miya to mend his battered body. ORDER's Osaragi has already put Dump in the ground, leaving just two condemned killers at large. One of them, the assassin called Minimalist, closes in on Aoi as she minds Sakamoto's shop. High above the city, Heisuke, whom Sakamoto tasked with spotting fugitives from the tower, locates the thread-wielding Apart and squares off against him.

Granny Miya debuts and treats the crew, explaining Shin's freshly awakened sense. Nagumo intervenes at the store, and the fight with Minimalist plays out largely off-screen. On Tokyo Tower, Apart binds and pressures Heisuke with his strings until a warning shot signals Sakamoto below, who plucks the incoming bullet from the air. Sakamoto, frustrated that he cannot shed weight, then arrives to face Apart himself as the two ready themselves for combat.

The episode opens on Sakamoto's glasses rather than on Shin as the manga does, and pads out the tower duel with extended shots of Apart's threads chasing and cutting at Heisuke. Miya's clinic scenes gain small touches, such as her preparing miso soup and serving Lu from a disposable cup instead of a bowl. Several beats of Nagumo dodging Minimalist's thrown balls and dragging his disguised quarry are original to the adaptation. Strong Assault covers chapters 44 through 47, aired on July 28, 2025, and remains part of the Death Row Prisoners Arc with the theme songs Method and Dandelion.
