Dead Mount Death Play episode 3 recap

In episode 3 of Dead Mount Death Play, Polka moved into the torture building with the help of Takumi and a pair of skeletons. Later, they talked about Polka's family, which quickly led to a discussion about the other world from which he originated. Polka disclosed to Takumi Takumi that he was regarded as an abomination in his world, and people tried to destroy him.

Polka also revealed that he was a colossal skeleton monster in his world and was referred to as the "Corpse God". He then explained to Takumi that he could finally achieve peace by talking down the person who had ordered the hit on him. When Takumi asked why Polka didn't ask Clarissa about the client, he replied that he did, but Clarissa allowed him to use the floor in exchange for keeping the secret.

Polka also mentioned that Clarissa had agreed not to accept any further contracts on his demise. Hearing this, Takumi informed him that there are other intermediary assassins other than Clarissa as well. However, according to him, there aren't that many people who can kill Polka except maybe Lemmings. They then talked about Misaki, where Polka revealed that his body's owner, the actual Polka Shinoyama, had told him to forgive her and that his soul was now in Takumi's drone.

The three of them then talked about jobs Polka could be good at when a guy came to Misaki asking her to help him handle another gang's hitmen. Polka accepted the job and the two of them went to the house the hitmen were in. However, they were ambushed and despite the trap, Misaki managed to handle multiple enemies pretty easily before getting shot twice.

Thinking she's dead, the attackers turned their attention to Polka, who revealed to them that Misaki had become a zombie and was now immune to bullets. Following that, Polka used a pair of giant skeleton hands to crush the enemies into a ball of dirt, avenging the dead spirits of children.

We then saw Clarissa and her two underlings relaxing, after which the remaining gang members were taken out by a mysterious entity. Clarissa then spoke on the phone to the person who put out the hit on Polka, telling them that things were on a halt which essentially meant that they had backed out of the assassination.

The episode then introduces Tsubaki Iwanome and Kōzaburō Arase, both working as detectives who investigate cases that border on the occult. Episode 3 also saw Polka reveal that Misaki's saliva was paralyzing and that she was now stronger but less sensitive than before.

The episode ended with Lemmings appearing right where Polka squashed those gang members and cracked the ball of dirt open. This led to the police finding out the bodies and calling Tsubaki Iwanome and Kōzaburō Arase to investigate due to the case being of occult in nature.
