Episode 8

**Turbine** is the eighth episode of the *Deca-Dence* anime series.

## **Plot**

Donatello and Kaburagi discuss the potential ways to get into the Gadoll Factory, but are quickly shut down at every suggestion. Jill explains that there is a field surrounding the factory that detects chips placed in avatars, and Kaburagi suggests that they retrieve his former avatar, which was kept in an archive by Minato. Donatello, Kaburagi and three other inmates break into the archive and successfully steal the avatar from under the nose of Hugin, who had received a tip about Kaburagi's avatar. Kaburagi uses his old avatar to reunite with Natsume and Kurenai and asks Natsume to assist him in destroying the Gadoll Factory. Minato meets with Kaburagi to convince him to give up on his plan, but Kaburagi refuses. Elsewhere in the prison, Turkey, one of Donatello's henchmen, attempts to convince Sarkozy to betray Donatello and Kaburagi.

## **Summary**

Kaburagi states he will destroy the Gadoll factory, which shocks everyone. Turkey mocks him, but sees Donatello interested as it means picking a fight with the system. Kaburagi suggests they use Deca-Dence to infiltrate the factory, but Jill explains there is a shield around it and anyone with a chip being avatar or tanker, it will be shutdown and terminated. Kaburagi reveals there is an avatar with no chip and is sure that Minato had kept his avatar not terminated. Jill can't really believe that information, but Donatello and Turkey guess that Minato could have really done that. Kaburagi guesses they still need to ask Minato where his avatar is and Jill agrees to investigate. She contacts Minato telling him she heard he has illegal avatar collection, but he denies and then goes to check if they are alright, which she manages to track. Hugin then visits Minato and asks him to come with him.

Entering the Deca-dence, the group heads into the avatar storage room. Hugin had heard that Minato keeps illegal avatars and takes him to the avatar storage room to check that. The group is surprised that Hugin also came and they see he is calling Kaburagi's avatar. Sarkozy makes a noise and Hugin hears it and goes to check it out. As Sarkozy can't keep quiet, Turkey has no choice but to break his neck and hides from Hugin. In the last moment, Kaburagi manages to reach his avatar storage and take it, leaving a pleasure toy behind. Hugin comes back and sees the toy inside and decides to let things be. They manage to get the avatar, but Jill explains they will need one more person and Kaburagi states he has someone in mind.

Donatello tries to get the others cyborgs to join them, but they is unable to. Jill then explains that the feces they proceed each day is turned into oxyone energy which is given to them, which makes everyone feel disgusted and angry. Meanwhile, Kaburagi finds Natsume and tells her they can stop the Gadoll, but only he and she can go. He explains it very dangerous, but Natsume gladly accepts. Jill contacts him and informs Kaburagi that he has a visitor. Kaburagi logs out and is surprised to see Minato visiting him. Minato guesses the pleasure toy is Kaburagi's work and wonders why he stole his avatar. Kaburagi explain he can't stand the system jerking them anymore whatever him or her. Kaburagi tells him that if he destroys the factory, he will end the system and Deca-dence. Kaburagi is jealous of Tankers being able to think for themselves and decide their own path and not being determined by the system. He wants that for all cyborgs and asks Minato if he will join his cause. Minato tells him that will result in a chaos and it will need an order, which the system already provides and then leaves. Meanwhile, Turkey tries to convince Sarkozy to join him and turn Donatello and Kaburagi as they can't beat the system and will only cause all of them to be scrapped, while this way they can be heroes and save everyone.
