Schoolgirl and undercover cop Saki (Yuki Saito) witnesses a girl
throwing herself off a building - and only minutes later, she is assigned
to investigate the school this girl went to, where two other suicides have
happened not long before it. Having become a student of the school, Saki
soon finds out that all three girls were in love with their music teacher,
who preferred to ignore this though, because as a teacher he cannot have
any kind of intimate relationships with his students. Late at night, Saki
witnesses a bunch of hooded girls performing a black mass, but she is made
to forget everything, and it's only thanks to her mentor/boss Jin (Koji
Naka) that she is brought out of her posthypnotic trance again and made to
remember. Saki pretends to be in love with the music teacher, and this
promptly catches the attention of a few other girls being in love with him
as well, and thus this night she is hypnotized and forced into committing
suicide - or so everyone thinks, actually, Saki has expected exactly that
and has saved herself using her trusted yo-yo, and now she exposes the
killer, an ugly girl hopelessly in love with the teachers who thought
she'd never have a chance because of her looks, and thus killed off all of
the competition. Saki not only arrests her but also gives her a scolding
telling her that women in love always look beautiful. But the teacher gets
a scholding as well, because by simply ignoring all the girls in love with
him, he has broken their hearts ... Despite some horror
elements, this is a lesser episode of Sukeban Deka, as it
simply doesn't feature enough action to keep things exciting, the solution
to the murder mystery is a bit too predictable, and Saki's scholding at
the end is almost ridiculously naive.
