Episode 12

"Spit Your Sadness Away" is the 12th episode of the Kill la Kill anime.

Plot
As Ryūko angrily goes into a furious attack, Nui tells her how she killed Isshin with the Scissor Blades he himself created and stealing one of its blades, but not before having her left eye slashed in the process. The boiling blood of Ryūko's rage has an adverse effect on Senketsu, causing him to go berserk and consume her, resulting in a monstrous form. As Mako and her family head towards the scene in order to save Ryūko from dying of blood loss, Tsumugu tries to draw away Nui to give Aikurō the opportunity to use an adhesive bullet on Ryūko. Satsuki Kiryūin dons her Kamui in order to put a stop to Ryūko, but it is Mako who manages to slap Ryūko to her senses and bring her back to her normal self, saving her life. A few days later, as Ryūko is recovering from her battle, Satsuki reveals that she was the one who ordered Nui to steal the sword scissors from Isshin, before announcing that Ryūko's battles with the Elite Four have helped her perfect the Goku Uniforms so that they can take over every school that opposes them.
