After meeting the mysterious man at the hotel room, Martin leaves in a daze and fails to notice Johan who has walked past him. The man had said that Martin should kill Eva since she is asking him to kill her but Martin has other plans. Martin returns to the hotel room where Eva is at and tells her to go to Tenma for help. However, Eva says that she will be waiting for Martin at Frankurt Central Station and tells him to escape with her. Martin says that he does not plan to kill Eva since nobody wants to die out of their own accord. After that, Martin waits for his employer's men to come for him and a gunfight ensues. Although he manages to kill 4 of them, one guy who is not injured fires a shot at Martin. Subsequently, he is sent to Tenma's place by his friend.
Tenma is unable to conduct more treatment for Martin due to lack of medical equipment but Martin refuses to be sent to a hospital. Martin tells Tenma about that man in Room 606 of Jahreszeit Hotel, his employer, the devil gaining an apprentice and the experiment at the Mansion of Red Roses still going on. In addition, he finds out that Eva is not with Tenma and realises that she is at Frankfurt Central Station. Before he breathes his last, he says that he does not want to listen to the devil and tells Tenma to look for Eva.
Tenma arrives at the train station to look for Eva and reveal that Martin has died. Eva is very upset and cries. After that, Tenma and Eva go to a coffee house to have a chat and he tells her to go to Munich. Dr Reichwein will help Eva to hide from Roberto and Martin's employer before they go to the police. Eva asks Tenma to go back with her but he says that he has to end the whole matter before more innocent people like Martin are implicated.
As Eva's train pulls away from the station, she thinks back on how she heard from Martin's employer about Johan being at an apartment in Haldecker Street and she did not tell Tenma on this info. At the same time, Tenma goes to the hotel where Martin met the mysterious man while Eva prepares to buy a gun to hunt for the devil...
It's a pity Martin died but this brought about a change in Eva as she seems to be less bitter towards Tenma when they met. In addition, seeing her cry like that, it gives the impression that she really liked Martin as a kind person who was good to her despite her treatment towards him or she felt responsible for causing him to die. And withholding that important piece of information from Tenma, Eva seems bent on killing Johan but I don't think she will succeed. If she does, the story would end prematurely. The showdown between Tenma, Nina and Johan has yet to begin so I doubt her actions will amount to anything.
As for Martin's words about the devil gaining an apprentice and the Mansion of the Roses experience, my view is that he could have made a mistake somewhere on the first part. I don't think Martin took much notice of Johan and could have misunderstood that the devil was the man in the hotel room. My view is that Johan is the devil and that man was just being brainwashed by Johan and not the other way round. However, Martin's words were kind of vague so I'm not sure what he actually thought. Well, I did assume that he was probably going to kill Eva after his past was exposed by that man but it turns out that he was logical enough to let Eva go and disobey the devil's orders. That was a clever twist to the story.
Well, for Tenma, I'm really wondering when he can meet Johan again. Maybe we'll have to wait till the final episode? And where is Nina and Dieter? I really think that when Nina, Tenma and Johan meet, that would probably be the climax of the story. Oh, where is Runge? I thought he found out who was Franz Bonaparte's son but what happened to that subplot? Lots of questions and we only have 10 plus episodes left till the end. Can everything be wrapped up by then?
