Episode 3 of Sunny kicks off with an enticing scene, featuring the entrance of Hime, a blonde woman with a mission, striding purposefully towards a vendor to address an issue with her nails. However, the tranquility of their conversation is abruptly shattered by screams echoing from the rear, drawing Hime's attention to a gruesome spectacle. There, a man is subjected to brutal torture, a drill in the hands of his captors, seeking to extract information from him.
Hime returns to the vendor, where a replacement for her missing finger awaits, intricately crafted to perfection.
Meanwhile, Suzie remains oblivious to the watchful eyes lurking in the shadows, while Noriko, Masa's mother, grapples with the daunting task of reaching out to her. Trapped within the confines of her room, Suzie has retreated from the world, her appetite and sleep eluding her, each passing moment a struggle. Noriko's visit, steeped in tradition, urges her to honor Masa's memory through a funeral, but Suzie remains steadfast in her isolation.
As Noriko departs, Sunny emphasizes the urgency of the funeral's impending dawn, presenting Suzie with robes and earrings, a subtle hint of the solemnity to come. Amidst these offerings, Sunny also leaves behind a photo frame, its contents a chilling reminder of the enigmatic sigil that has been haunting their investigations.
Driven by curiosity and a need to unravel the truth, Suzie delves deeper, uncovering a sinister underworld of home-bot modifications, shrouded in dark sexual themes. Sunny's warning, that she harbors no intention to harm Suzie, yet possesses the means to do so, only serves to heighten Suzie's unease. Dressed for the occasion, Suzie ventures out, her quest leading her to the bar and the attentive ear of Mixxy, the alluring barmaid.
Mentioning the controversial modifications and their origins, Mixxy proves to be a valuable ally, guiding Suzie towards Takumi, a man who runs his own shop and possesses the illicit codes that have sparked this investigation. With renewed determination, Suzie sets off, determined to uncover the truth behind the shadowy dealer of forbidden technology.
Taku skillfully guides her to the recesses of the seductive sex shop, where, after a subtle charm offensive, he steers her towards a mysterious establishment named Wanted, whispering the name 'Tendo' as a password. This leads Suzie down a rabbit hole into a world of extravagance, a wild host club unlike any other.
Alone and disoriented, Suzie descends into the bowels of the club, where a sinister underbelly is revealed. The basement harbors a clandestine arena—a place where machines are pitted against each other in a brutal spectacle known as Junk Wars, a twisted version of Robot Wars. The narrative cleverly interweaves these brutal battles with tender flashbacks of Masa engaging in playful combat with their son, a stark contrast that heightens the tension.
To Suzie's horror, Sunny is dragged into this macabre contest, with Hime, an unexpected spectator, looming in the shadows. Witnessing this grotesque display, Suzie springs into action, snatching the hapless bot and shoving past Hime, whose false finger betrays a deeper secret. With renewed urgency, Suzie flees the grim scene.
As the night takes its final breath, we find ourselves at a somber funeral. And who emerges from the shadows but Hime herself, offering prayers to each departed soul. As her gaze locks with Suzie's, the moment freezes in a haunting embrace of darkness, leaving us to ponder the intricate web of connections and secrets that bind these characters together.
