Heavenly Delusion Episode 3 reveals Kiriko’s past and the terrifying consequences of playing hero

This article contains major spoilers for Heavenly Delusion Episode 3.

Heavenly Delusion (Tengoku Daimakyou) episode 3 takes us on an emotional journey through Kiriko’s past and the events that led to her brother’s brain transplant into her body. The episode begins with Kiriko participating in an electro-kart-racing event, and her brother Haruki chasing after some goons. We are introduced to a new character, Robin, who Haruki idolizes and admires to this date.

Ethics of brain transplants: Is the cost of saving a life too high?

Things take a dark turn when Haruki notices a man-eater nearby and decides to handle it himself. Unfortunately, the tables are turned, and the man-eater starts absorbing him instead. Kiriko tries to save her brother, but he loses his limbs in the process. In a desperate bid to save his life, Kiriko gives up her own body, allowing Haruki to take over her body via a brain transplant. This decision leads to people questioning the effectiveness of the procedure, which seemingly wipes out the mind/memories of the original body in terms of “saving lives.”

Cliffhanger alert: Another twist in the already mysterious storyline

Haruki, now in Kiriko’s body, discovers that his people and Robin are nowhere to be found. The episode sheds light on how Kiriko ended up with Maru and explains to him how Haruki’s brain ended up in her body. However, their conversation is eavesdropped on by an unknown person. Later on, they encounter another man-eater on the ship, and the episode ends on another cliffhanger. (Also Read: Heavenly Delusion Episode 2 shocks with unexpected confessions & plot twists!)
