Episode Start
The same room...
Where Aditya, Ansh, Kabir, and Jay were sitting.
Suddenly—
A loud noise started echoing from outside.
Shouts.
Weapons clashing.
And the angry roars of a massive crowd.
Aditya frowned.
"What's going on outside?"
Everyone immediately rushed out of HQ.
The moment they stepped outside—
They froze.
The entire road was packed with people.
Thousands of them.
Swords.
Spears.
Guns.
Every single person was armed.
And they were all shouting the same name.
"ANSH CHOPRA!"
"YOU WON'T ESCAPE TODAY!"
"WE'LL TAKE OUR REVENGE!"
Aditya stepped forward.
"Who are all of you?"
Then—
A man walked out from the crowd.
He had only one arm.
His eyes were filled with hatred.
He stared directly at Ansh.
"Ansh Chopra..."
"Back when you were in Delhi..."
"You destroyed everything we had."
"Today we're here to settle that debt."
Ansh looked at him and smiled faintly.
At that moment, one of the men standing beside the leader whispered,
"Sir..."
"We've heard that Ansh Chopra wiped out three major Black Hunter gangs by himself..."
"How are we supposed to defeat the Black Punisher?"
The leader immediately shouted,
"Those are old stories!"
"He's old now!"
"There's nothing left of the Black Punisher!"
Ansh chuckled.
Then he spoke.
"Anuj Shah..."
"Looks like you've forgotten..."
"How you lost your arm seventeen years ago."
Anuj's smile instantly disappeared.
"So you still remember my name?"
"If you've got the courage..."
"Try cutting even one of my fingernails."
Ansh burst out laughing.
"A fingernail?"
"Forget that."
"I'll cut off your old arm all over again."
Silence.
"Looks like you've only heard stories about the Black Punisher..."
"Today I'll show you the real thing."
Ansh slowly raised his hand.
"Summon... Death Ranger."
WHOOSHHHH!!!
Dark energy exploded into the sky.
A giant demon appeared behind him.
A massive trident rested in its hands.
Its blood-red eyes glowed like burning flames.
The crowd instinctively stepped back.
Then Ansh spoke again.
"Summon... Punisher Sword."
CLANG!
A black-and-red sword appeared in his hand.
The moment people saw that weapon—
Fear spread everywhere.
The hunters standing near HQ turned pale.
Several people immediately started running away.
Ansh looked surprised.
"Seriously?"
"You're running just because you saw my sword?"
"Fine then..."
"I'll put it away."
The sword disappeared.
The crowd slowly regained their confidence.
One man shouted,
"The Punisher Sword seals his real power!"
"Without it he's nothing!"
Ansh simply smiled.
Then—
BOOM!!!
He punched the ground.
A massive shockwave erupted outward.
Dozens of people were blown away instantly.
Everyone froze in shock.
Ansh looked toward the sky.
"Summon..."
"Blood Rain."
The sky turned crimson.
Blood began falling from above.
Some people laughed.
"That's it?"
"Just blood rain?"
Ansh's smile widened.
"You don't understand."
"Anyone touched by that blood..."
"...will be hunted down by Death Ranger."
Silence.
Anuj's face turned white.
Ansh looked directly at him.
"What's wrong, Anuj?"
"Don't tell me you've forgotten Death Ranger."
Flashback Seventeen Years Ago...
Bodies covered the battlefield.
Blood.
Fire.
Screams.
And standing in the middle of it all—
Was Ansh.
A white suit covered in blood.
In his hand—
Vaibhav's Katana.
Anuj lay on the ground before him.
Ansh slowly walked closer.
"I told you..."
"I won't leave a single Black Hunter alive."
"Either abandon this path..."
"Or end up like the people around you."
He raised the katana.
"And besides..."
"I never let anyone leave alive."
SLASH!
Anuj screamed.
His arm fell to the ground.
Present
Anuj's body trembled uncontrollably.
Death Ranger stood before him.
The demon grabbed Anuj by the throat and lifted him into the air.
Ansh spoke calmly.
"Death Ranger..."
"Let him go."
"Someone has to survive..."
"To tell the world..."
"That the Black Punisher has returned."
Then he paused.
And smiled.
"But..."
"I don't like letting people leave unharmed."
"You still have one arm left."
SHING!
A sword flew into his hand.
SLASH!
Anuj's scream echoed through the air.
His remaining arm fell to the ground.
Ansh crouched in front of him.
"Answer me."
"Are the Black Hunters still alive?"
Anuj laughed despite the pain.
"Yes..."
"And remember this..."
"Nobody walks into a lion's cage and survives."
Ansh smiled.
"Then tell them..."
"Not to enter my cage."
He turned around.
And walked back into HQ.
Inside HQ
Jay stared at Aditya.
"Is he even human?"
"Or is he a monster?"
At that moment—
Tejus came running inside.
"Sir!"
"The top hunters from every state are asking..."
"Is it true that the Black Punisher will be working with us?"
Aditya answered immediately.
"Yes."
Tejus nodded.
"Then you'll need to attend an emergency meeting immediately."
Aditya looked at Ansh.
"You're coming too."
Ansh sighed.
"Fine..."
Meeting Room
Everyone took their seats.
Ansh looked toward Aditya.
"Did you know the Black Hunters were still alive?"
Aditya shook his head.
"No."
"They disappeared completely after you destroyed them."
Then—
The door opened.
Ishita entered the room.
The moment she stepped inside—
She felt an overwhelming demonic aura.
Her eyes instantly locked onto Ansh.
SHING!
A sword appeared in her hand.
She moved to attack—
But—
FLASH!
Jay suddenly appeared in front of her.
And grabbed her wrist.
Ishita froze.
Ansh laughed.
"Looking at these two..."
"Reminds me of Aviraj and Anvi."
Ishita immediately looked away.
A faint blush appeared on her face.
She quietly sat down.
Aditya spoke.
"This is Black Punisher."
"And he'll be working with us from now on."
Ishita immediately protested.
"Sir!"
"This man doesn't even spare his own people!"
"The streets outside are covered with bodies!"
Aditya calmly replied,
"Wait until everyone arrives."
"Then I'll explain everything."
Ishita stayed silent.
But inside her mind—
A different thought lingered.
"Why does Jay's aura feel so different?"
"And why do I always get nervous whenever I see him?"
A few minutes later—
The door opened again.
Amar.
Dhruv.
And several other top hunters entered the room.
Aditya stood up.
His expression became serious.
"You all know..."
"A war could begin in Delhi on November 5th."
The room fell silent.
"And only four days remain."
Everyone's expressions darkened.
Aditya continued.
"Some time ago..."
"We also discovered an Infinite Gate."
The moment those words were spoken—
Everyone became serious.
An Infinite Gate.
The most dangerous type of gate known to hunters.
Aditya took a deep breath.
"That's why..."
"We need Ansh Chopra..."
"The Black Punisher."
Slowly—
Everyone turned toward the corner of the room.
Where Ansh sat calmly in his chair.
The moment they recognized him—
The entire room froze in shock.
