Episode 10 of "Sunny" kicks off with an ominous prologue, painting a vivid scene of the Setsubun festival, where masked revelers, embodying the fearsome oni demons, prowl around a temple. As the camera glides downwards, a chilling discovery unfolds—a faint trail of blood leading to the lifeless form of an unknown victim, foreshadowing a sinister turn of events. Brace yourselves, dear readers, for the truth shall soon be unveiled!
Transitioning swiftly, we find Suzie breathing a sigh of relief upon discovering Zen unscathed within the warehouse's confines. However, the tranquility is shattered by Hime's arrival, accompanied by her ruthless henchmen. A tense standoff ensues, with Tanaka looming in the background, a gun aimed menacingly, his fingers fiddling with Sunny's intricate machinery. Suzie's demands for answers are met with Tanaka's swift action, as he performs a surgical extraction of a crucial card from Sunny's innards, then vanishes into the night.
Before carting Suzie and Zen off to a cage that already imprisons Mixxy and Hiro, Hime drops a devastating bombshell: Masa's demise, confirmed by the macabre delivery of his shoes as a grim message. The trio finds themselves trapped, their fate uncertain.
Outside, Tanaka's sinister plan unfolds as he clutches the card, informing Hime of their success in preserving the heart of the code. With the system wipe advancing from the oldest files, a race against time commences. Hime's fleeting smirk of triumph fades when Jin's presence is realized, his demands for results echoing in the air.
Hiro's conviction ignites a spark within the group—they must halt Hime's nefarious scheme. Initially indifferent, Suzie's resolve hardens upon realizing the gravity of their mission. Memories of Sunny's fatal act in Episode 8 and the Kill-Bot's earlier atrocities linger, fueling Hiro's belief that they've stumbled upon a means to push a bot's boundaries to their breaking point. Sunny has crossed that threshold, yet she remains unfettered by decommissioning, unlike her predecessor. Masa's sacrifice, aimed at averting this very catastrophe, now becomes a rallying cry for justice. Suzie joins the fray, her heart swelled with a sense of duty and reverence for Masa's memory.
However, what neither Tanaka nor Hime have discerned is Masa's diabolical plot to sabotage the ports, rendering the transfer of files an impossibility. Sunny's seemingly futile presence prompts Tanaka to devise a daring strategy: he urges Hime to sneak close to Jin's robotic companion and harness it as a conduit for transmitting their vital information.
Meanwhile, fates as Noriko's call rings out on Suzie's phone, nestled unwittingly in Zen's pocket, overlooked by the complacent Yakuza. The Facetime call uncovers an unexpected connection: one of the imprisoned mothers is none other than Yuko's—a guard's—own mother. Suzie's desperation pleads with Noriko, who promptly springs into action, menacing the woman by cutting off her oxygen supply and issuing an ultimatum for the prisoners' release. The guard capitulates, and the captives are freed.
As Mixxy distracts the guards, Hiro, Zen, and Suzie, disguised in oni masks, navigate the bustling festival crowds. Suzie boldly ascends the podium, seizing the microphone, and utters the cryptic phrase "suck a dick," a magic word that miraculously reignites Sunny's functionality. Without hesitation, she retaliates against Tanaka with a fierce punch before disappearing into the throng.
Concurrently, Hime pierces Jin with a decisive stab, declaring her ambition for leadership, her voice echoing with determination. The mysterious bloodstain from the episode's onset is now revealed to be Jin's, a testament to Hime's ruthless resolve.
Suzie chases after Sunny, who, to her surprise, retains her memories intact, though weighed down by guilt over her deadly deed. Mixxy proposes a risky plan to secure the code and escape, emphasizing the need for a safe haven. This necessitates a split, with Sunny choosing to embark on a solitary journey with Mixxy—or so it seems. The truth unfolds: Mixxy has been in cahoots with the Yakuza all along, and Tanaka, battered but impressed, compliments Mixxy's prowess.
Elsewhere, Hiro, Zen, and Suny, oblivious to these developments, make their way to the secluded retreat where Masa originally toiled over his robotic creations. There, amidst the detritus of abandoned projects, they stumble upon a trash-bot and, pinned conspicuously on a notice board, a letter addressed to Suzie, hinting at yet another layer of intrigue amidst the chaos.
