Ghosts of the past.

They cling
to their rotting power…

and their rusting swords.

Too proud to accept defeat.

Forward!

Too stubborn to evolve.

They steal from the powerless,

yet bemoan the loss
of their so-called honor.

Victory is ours!

And like fools,
they dare to rebel.

Yeah!

Sir, I see the smoke signal.

It's a victory for our allies.

Open fire.

Sir?

Fire.

But, sir, our troops are still
inside enemy lines.

I said fire!

All soldiers, open fire!

Aim!

Fire!

Stand down! Stop it! It's over!

Stand down!

A new era has begun.

And the samurai have no place in it.

These ghosts of the past…

must be eradicated.

Gentlemen. Sorry to keep you waiting.

Honestly, we're the ones
who should be thanking you.

This is a wonderful opportunity for us.

Indeed.

Have you heard
our family motto, perchance?

No, I'm afraid I haven't.

"You should never lend your money
to the shizoku."

We've paid the biggest price
for their lawlessness and pride.

Loan after loan, betrayal after betrayal.

It's a miracle we're still here.

Number 159, Ikeuchi Tekkan,
has been confirmed dead at Kuwana.

Reportedly, he was killed
by number 66, Kanjiya Bukotsu.

Bukotsu the Savage Slasher again?

-He's a beast, through and through.
-Sure is.

Yet he's all about killing
and barely moves forward.

Hardly worth betting on.

At this rate, he definitely won't be
the first at Chiryu, right?

That's for certain.

But at least he's very entertaining,
so let's hope he stays alive.

Agreed.

The Kodoku is just beginning,
which means the real fun is still ahead.

There's so much more to see,

and we've prepared plenty of entertainment
all the way to the finish line.

So, gentlemen, may we watch and enjoy

the downfall of these ghosts.

MITSUI BANK

I know that you hate guns.

They cast us into oblivion.

They're to blame for our demise.

No one is to blame for that.

The world has changed.
There's nothing we can do.

Has it?

Lower your guns.

He needs to concentrate.

You're in the way!

-What? What happened?
-I heard gunshots!

-Stop!
-Stop right there!

The suspect has been killed!

Stop!

Get down there! Don't let him get away!

Time to move!

Hey, wait, but--

Hey! Wait, but-- Wait!

Your clothes!

Your purpose here is pointless.

Even winning this game
won't make anybody happy.

What are you implying?

It's no use trying
to make you understand!

This is where your journey ends,

Saga Kokushu.

Shu-nii!

Get them!

So we'll meet in Tokyo.

Come in.

We've received a report
from General Kawaji.

They found nothing
at the foot of Mount Fuji.

We chased a false lead, unfortunately.

Thank you, Nagase.

Lord Okubo,
regarding what Lord Maejima said earlier…

About Kawaji?

Yes.

Lord Kawaji is admirable, truly.

-However--
-The Bureau was his doing.

Kawaji went overseas
to develop a plan for it,

went to Europe
to learn new ideas for law and order.

But I don't believe
he'll betray us in the end.

If you'll allow it,

could I take a look
at those documents, sir?

Can you decipher it?

I'm not sure.

I'll do my best.

I'm no expert.

However, I'd like to give it a try.

Hm.

Tend to every detail.

We have no idea
what the enemy might be hiding.

Thank you, sir.

The man who killed Akayama
and attacked me was no impostor.

He was a real police officer.

That means the Police Bureau
might actually have a connection

to whoever's in charge of all this.

-Or maybe--
-It's someone inside the Bureau.

Exactly.

So the police

and Mitsui Bank as well…

I'd wager
it's not just the bank that's involved.

I don't follow.

There's a chance the zaibatsu
in charge of the banks are involved.

If that really is the case,

that would explain everything,
wouldn't it?

The Police Bureau
monitors the participants

and sees to the disposal
of any bodies left in their wake.

And as for the extensive cost
of its operation,

it's all covered by the zaibatsu.

Still, one thing remains puzzling.

At Tenryuji, the very first
to die was Ando Jinbe, right?

He was an officer
of Kyoto's Fourth Division.

Yes, you're right!

I don't think the officers
at the station knew either.

So I take it only the core
of the Police Bureau is at work here.

But why would the police
allow all of this?

I have no clue.

However, there is something
I can speak to with certainty for now.

This Kodoku is not only for 100,000 yen.

It's obviously
about something far deeper than that.

Even if we do reach Tokyo,
I doubt that will be the end of it.

I'm sure
they'll have something else in store.

What if they force us to kill each other
until there's only one standing?

And even if
only one person is left,

there's no guarantee
they'll return home alive.

No way.

Even so,

I'll keep moving forward.

Will you bring
the little miss with you?

Though I suppose
there's a limit to how far she can go.

But I want to go with you. Please.

Futaba…

please be quiet.

And you still have a trump card
hidden up your sleeve, don't you?

Saga Kokushu, sir.

Back during the war, you were connected

to some prominent government figures,
weren't you?

How do you know
something like that, Kyojin?

The zaibatsu and the police will fail
if we utilize that card.

So if you care
about this little kiddo here,

you might want to give it some thought.

I'll be back by noon tomorrow.

While I'm gone,

take care of Futaba.

Understood.

That kind
of strike won't be effective.

I just want to be strong.

That's why I'm doing this.

I don't want to…

be such a heavy burden to you all.

Strength doesn't lie in the sword alone.

At the moment, you're still weak.

You're only a child.

And you're also a girl.

But prepare yourself.

In time, you will find the strength
and power you truly carry.

NARUMI TELEGRAPH OFFICE

Oh.

How may I help you?

I have a telegram to send.

Ah. Yes, of course.

Please write the recipient's name
and the message here.

SPECIAL EXERCISE BY THE POLICE BUREAU

Come in.

-If I may…
-What is it?

A telegram has arrived.

It's addressed to the Home Minister
and appears quite odd.

WISH TO CONVEY IMPORTANT MATTER TO OKUBO

Saga Kokushu.

I have to send a telegram.

I'll do it.

Everyone out, all right?

-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.

All right. They've responded.

What did they say?

They said, "Details, please."

Who sent the reply?

Lord Maejima Hisoka, sir.

How is this possible?
He's the Home Minister's right-hand!

I'm afraid you need to leave for now.

This matter doesn't concern you.

Uh, sure.

Serious incident at Tenryuji.

Has it been confirmed?

Reports received.
Shizoku assembling.

Are you one of them?

I am.

Shizoku engaged in combat.

Child among them.

Requesting assistance.

Still investigating.

Requesting full details.

Rule four.

Under no circumstances,
are you to tell anyone else about this.

Provide protection,
and details will follow.

Police involvement is suspected.
Any knowledge?

Matter of national importance.
Will provide information if protected.

Meet in Okazaki in three days.

Protection to follow there.

Understood.

Sorry for the scare. I apologize.

Could you send this one too?

Oh. Yes, sir.

Thank you, sir.

SHINO SAGA
FROM: SHUJIRO SAGA

Remain strong.

I will return no matter what.

Saga Kokushu seems
to be among the participants.

Kokushu, you say?

Yes, sir.

-So he's still alive.
-He asked for help.

There's a child he wants to protect.

Any other details?

He didn't offer any clear answers
when I asked about police involvement,

but said it was a national issue.

And there's more, sir.

The Police Bureau is mobilizing
over 150 officers

and conducting exercises in secret.

The way I see it,
they're likely proceeding with something

and choosing not to inform us.

Kawaji is able to utilize his power

to command anyone
in the police force at any moment

and continue his relationship
with the zaibatsu.

Lord Okubo.

I will not give up.

I'll do my best.

As soon as Kawaji returns,
he and I will have a discussion.

In the meantime,
those telegrams must be decoded.

We won't catch him without any real proof.

Yes, sir.
I'll be on my way to meet Kokushu myself.

Please make sure you're always alert.

Sir.

-Forgive the wait.
-All right, let's get going.

We're probably
at the very end of the line.

Most contestants have likely passed
through Chiryu by now.

We should hurry,
or there won't be any tags left to take.

Right. Let's move.

SEKI

CHIRYU

CHIRYU-JUKU
REQUIRED POINTS: 5

Welcome, all. We've been expecting you.

Mr. Saga, Miss Katsuki,
Miss Kinugasa, tags, please.

Mr. Tsuge, Mr. Sayama, your tags.

Mr. Saga Shujiro,

eight points.

Miss Katsuki Futaba, seven points.

Miss Kinugasa Iroha, eight points.

You've made it to Chiryu,
and you're all cleared to pass.

Mr. Tsuge Kyojin, seven points.

You are cleared to pass Chiryu.

Five tags will now become one blue tag.

Please hand over
five points' worth of tags.

Mr. Sayama, your tags, please.

No, wait.

-Futaba, let's go.
-Shujiro, wait!

-We all have enough to spare!
-There's no use in taking him with us.

He lacks the strength
to survive, all right?

Stop this! We have to save Shinnosuke!

We're barely managing
to survive ourselves.

Shinnosuke is an adult.
His life's his own to answer for.

He made his choice,
and he wasn't forced into anything.

Futaba.

Thank you.

I can't say

what's going to happen from here.

And I know every moment could be the last.

But…

But if abandoning Shinnosuke
means I survive,

how could I return
to my mother with any pride?

How could I ever face her again

if I have no honor?

There's no use.

All this would do is
put off his certain death.

Sayama does not have the skills.

It's unlikely he'll survive until the end
and become one of the nine.

What if there are more paths
to our survival?

Gibberish.

I guess it's a done deal.

Mr. Sayama Shinnosuke,
five points.

You are cleared to pass Chiryu.

Futaba.

Thank you.

Thank you so much!

Thank you!
Thank you so much! Thank you!

Safe travels.

-Shujiro.
-Hm?

I'm sorry.

If it weren't for you,

I wouldn't have made it this far.

No.

You were right, actually.

We cannot save everybody.

But abandoning the person
right in front of us,

I could never face my wife again.

I must say,
Futaba, excellent work.

Indeed.

Tsurubami has spoken carelessly.

He revealed that at the game's end,
nine would stand a chance of survival.

You're right.
He did say something like that.

The nine who reach Tokyo
will be forced into something.

I have no doubt of that.

However,

that is not to say
only one will survive, is it?

Yes, but

he's involved in the Kodoku, so then…
why would he reveal that to us?

He's definitely not on our side,
yet I'm sensing some goodwill.

Not for us, exactly.

For Futaba.

Who would've thought?

If this Kodoku is like a locked door,
maybe you hold the key, huh?

There's finally hope
in this Kodoku.

Futaba. It's all because of you.

So,
what were you saying about a samurai?

I said-- I just said that I saw a samurai

walking with a girl--

Kokushu,

this time I won't let you get away.

All right.
I suppose this is where we split.

What?

Shinnosuke and I made quite a mess
at the police station.

They've seen our faces.
We're likely wanted men now.

Huh?

So I'm thinking

we split into two groups for now,
until things cool down.

Will the two of you be all right?

Have you forgotten
who you're dealing with?

You watch your own back.

Till we meet again.

Come on, Shinnosuke!

Uh…

W-- Wait for me, Kyojin!

Let's get moving.

EUROPEAN CIPHER MANUAL

The Bureau was his doing.

Kawaji went overseas
to develop a plan for it,

went to Europe
to learn new ideas for law and order.

N, K…

W, D, A…

Z is W. Another A…

I…

Lord Shinpei. Good evening.

Mochizuki.

What brings someone from the Police Bureau
to the Home Ministry?

Especially at this hour of the night?

It is late, indeed.

Are you still working?

Don't tell me you underestimated us.

You must have realized
we'd be watching every move.

What is the purpose of this anyway?

That's none of your business, is it?

You were just a few steps away.

So close.

How unfortunate.

REPORT TO KAWAJI
SAKURA AND SHUJIRO FACE-TO-FACE

TO TOSHIYOSHI KAWAJI

Looks like there won't be
any more developments today.

I'd say we retire for the night.

Right. Gentlemen,

rest well tonight
in the comfort of your rooms.

If all goes well, the results
from Chiryu will arrive by morning.

Well then,
see you all tomorrow.

Okubo's secretary has been
dealt with smoothly.

Very good.

Even so, tensions are rising
at the central government, sir.

Maejima has suddenly changed his plans
and is now bound for Okazaki.

We've found evidence
of telegram communications

with one of the Kodoku participants.

And do we know who it is?

One hundred and eight, Saga Shujiro.

Pardon me.

Gentlemen, there has been
a slight complication, I'm afraid.

Unfortunately, Lord Okubo is likely aware

of your involvement
alongside the Police Bureau.

What do you mean by that?

If-- If that's the case,
our standing might be--

Please rest assured.

This is going exactly as we've foreseen.

I have everything thoroughly planned out.

How on earth
could they figure out who we are?

Apparently, Maejima received a telegram
from one of the contestants with the news.

Wait, what?
Is-- Isn't that against the rules?

The telegram was from Saga Shujiro.

Kokushu the Manslayer.

Wait. Is he eliminated for that?

I'm afraid
that won't be the case.

-Why not? I don't understand--
-Calm yourselves. Easy.

We have received word

that one or more intriguing
and ruthless participants are rather

fixated on Saga Shujiro.

Why would we interfere,

when we can witness these lost souls

tear each other apart
inside the Kodoku jar?

A festival…

How about a mask, folks?

Take your pick!

Come and get your masks!

Got a moment to chat,
Gion Sansuke?

How do you know me?

Well, I don't, really.

I've got no intention of fighting,

Adashino Shikura.

If I'm not wrong,
you two are looking for your siblings,

Saga Shujiro and Kinugasa Iroha.

Oh, and then there's Jinroku too, right?

What exactly is it that you want?

I wonder

would either of you care
if your siblings were in trouble?

Uh, excuse me. Which way is Chiryu?

-Pardon me?
-I think I took a wrong turn.

What are you talking about?
