WARNING: GORE AHEAD “ Hammerhead ” is the name of this animation short, as seen in Japan Animator Expo (Ep #25). Done by Ōtarō Maijō & Mahiro Maeda - which depicts the gruesome fate of the unkillable “superhero/supervillain” known as “Hammerhead”, and of his connection to his teenage daughter. *"HAMMER HIM DEAD."

Originally announced as part of the second season lineup; "Hammerhead" had since been taken out of the theatrical exhibition lineup after online release (Info via Wiki ).
