Damn it!

Wait up, yo!

Say that all you want. There's no one who'd wait for you, you idiot!

Shut up, you geezer!

Blue. The color of danger.

It's...

the color of your soul...

as you try not to sink.

Sky blue.

The color of the vast sky.

What we now see as colorless...

could be seen with color as before.

Bara-iro ni Somare

I can't let you play this dangerous game by yourself!

So... I'll participate in Igra too.

Don't even try to stop me.

Do whatever you want.

Motomi!

Yo!

What a coincidence.

I just happened to be passing by.

That's a lot for someone who's just passing by.

You're quite the heavy smoker, huh?

Yeah whatever.

Aren't you heading over to the Castle now?

Do you mind if I tag along?

You have some business with them, too?

Yeah.

Every now and then, I feel like paying a visit to that den of bad taste.

Honestly, that sounds pretty reassuring.

That makes me feel like it was worth coming here.

Let's go.

Hold on a sec!

Ah, jeez.

Well, shall we go in?

Yes!

Wear this.

The decorations in this place are always so deranged.

Meh, I guess that's just like him, though.

Him?

Mr. Arbitro.

Arbitro...?

You'll understand soon enough.

I'll have you wait in this room.

Why're you so nervous? Didn't you already make up your mind?

Get a move on it.

All right. I'll be right back.

He should be showing up anytime now.

My, my.

Hey!

Wh-What the--?!

It's been a while, huh?

Hey, you.

Why are you here of all places?!

Just a little field trip.

I just wanted to see you all flustered, really.

You have no business here!

Man, your strange habits haven't changed, huh?

After coming all the way over here, I've started to want one of these myself.

Silence!

You wouldn't even understand them!

Get away from them!

Ah, sorry!

Don't you dare come here ever again!

Got it?

See ya later.

So you two know each other?

It's more like we can't get rid of each other.

But you better keep your guard up.

It seems like he's taken an interest in you.

An interest in me?

Oh yeah.

If you met the Executioners, then you saw him too, right?

The dog.

The dog?

That guy just loves young boys who have pretty faces.

And he really loves tormenting them.

What's beyond those doors?

Beyond that would be the Colosseum.

Colosseum?

That's right. That's the arena where you fight Il Re.

Il Re...

It's the dueling platform for declaring who the true drug lord is,

but usually it's just closed like that.

Actually, it hasn't been re-opened for quite a while now.

Would you happen to be serious this time around?

Or rather, are you ready to take this on?

Yes.

Then let me explain the rules for you.

First of all, this so-called 'tag-game' takes the form of a poker game.

After you make a royal straight or a full house out of rank 10 and above tags,

you will have the right to challenge the King of Igra, Il Re.

Challenge Il Re?

Oh, right. I have yet to explain one matter.

When fighting for a tag,

you lose when your back hits the ground.

At that point, the winner can take the loser's tag.

It's pretty simple, right?

Yes.

I'll give you five tags to start with.

You're required to wear one tag visibly so that others can notice it

as proof that you're currently participating in the game.

If you happen to break one of these rules--

What is the meaning of this?!

Sup!

We brought the corpse we took care of!

You damned--!

Don't bring such filth in here!

And don't I always tell you to knock before entering?!

You're such a pain in the ass.

What's this? Another newbie, huh?

You know, lately, there've been these idiots who don't fight but take tags from newbies.

Can we kill all of 'em?

If we were to condone such injustice,

then all of Igra would become disheveled and disordered.

Find all of those people and get rid of them!

It's gonna be one hell of a blood festival!

Let's go get 'em now!

A'ight.

W-Wait a moment! Take that with you!

Huh? Fine.

Hey, you. Go get it and carry it out.

The fuck?! Why don't you?! Didn't you 'okay' it just now?!

I've got heavy ol' Mitsuko to deal with.

As if that metal pipe would be heavy for you!

'Ey, wait, hey yo!

I apologize.

N-Not at all...

Now would be a good time to tell you about those guys.

They're observers who look for rule breakers.

Observers?

Their job is to go around Toshima,

find those who break Igra's rules, and punish them.

Break?

In Igra, you're not allowed to...

have possession of some sort of firearm,

have a battle without any other eye-witnesses,

or use any cowardly surprise attacks.

And like I mentioned before, not showing any tags is also against the rules.

So is giving up in Igra altogether.

What happens to those who break those rules?

Didn't you see that corpse earlier?

Pray you don't end up like him.

Sorry for the wait.

I've got myself some tags now.

Now you won't be able to back out of this.

Right.

Don't you have something to say?

Not really.

You look like shit.

I-Is that so?

That damned Motomi!

Damn it! Damn it, damn it, DAMN IT!

I'm so sorry.

Did that hurt?

What's the matter, Kau?

You're a masterpiece.

This part is especially gorgeous.

My, my. You're making such a display...

What a naughty child you are.

Later!

I wonder what tag I should wear...

Which do you think will work best?

Just have one for display and leave the rest hidden somewhere.

I see!

That way, I won't be targeted, huh?

Keisuke?!

Don't move!

Move and your friend gets it.

Got it?

Let go of Keisuke!

What, you gonna kill me?

This guy is gonna die first!

Keisuke!

I'm taking these!

Guys like you are the biggest suckers!

I-If you do that, the Executioners will probably go after you!

Like that shit actually matters.

They'll kill whoever they see, rule breaker or not.

So there's no need to follow the rules, yeah?!

You damned--

What?!

Y-You are--?!

I'm taking these back.

T-This guy...!

You're still gonna fight?

Are you alright?

I'm sorry. I promised that I'd take care of myself, but this happened...

And I'm so mindless...

Here.

Wait up!

Welcome back!

Rin!

To say the least, this place sure is filthy.

What do you want?

I've come to tell you that this kind of place isn't a great hide-out.

It's risky.

Not only is it facing the main street, but people can also see you leave and enter.

Eh? Is that so?

It's quite visible from the outside.

Not something I can recommend to newbies.

So you really did register!

Come on, show me your tags!

All right, sure.

Well, you've got some that you can use, huh?

Really? That's great to know.

That's right! Let's take a picture of us all finally joining Igra together!

This guy is?

You can look at it if you want, but it's not interesting.

There are much more secure places around! Let's go! Come follow me!

Damn it, where is it?

I don't have it...

He must have it...

Fuck!

Bah, this sucks.

Yo! We meet again!

We're lookin' for some tag-thief now.

Is it one of you guys?

I-It's not...

He's got blue hair. It wouldn't be any of these guys.

Oh, really?

Blue hair, blue hair. BLUE hair!

Blue hair? Isn't it...

Yeah.

I've got something to speak to you about. Come with me for a bit!

Hey!

Shut up! You want the Executioners to find us?!

Akira?!

What just happened?

They won't find us all the way out here.

What the hell do you want with me?

Give it back.

Give what back?

Don't play dumb! You picked it up, didn't you?!

You mean this?

Is it something important to you?

It's my younger sister's...

You have a younger sister?

I know about you.

You're Lost, right?

I knew from the moment I saw you that you're the undefeated champion of Bl@ster.

Victory after victory, but you never seemed to be pleased.

It always seemed like you were expressionless and apathetic.

That's why you were called Lost.

There was no one in Bl@ster who didn't know who Lost was.

You were in Bl@ster too?

Yeah, kinda. You ever hear of the name 'Takeru' anywhere?

No...

Of course you didn't. I quit soon after.

Why are you in Toshima, then?

I'm here for the money, duh.

I wasn't able to earn much of an income back there.

But I heard that if I were to win here, I could get a shitload of cash.

That's not all, though. If I were to defeat the Il Re,

I'd become the new drug lord.

That's the highest position in the world right now.

Why'd you join Igra, Lost?

Didn't you get enough money from your Bl@ster wins?

I didn't join for the money.

Then why?

Not gonna say?

Must be nice to be the almighty carefree Lost!

First off, do you know how much trouble and danger there'll be

if you wanna fight your way through the ranks and beat Il Re?

I do.

Are you just going to say you 'get it?!'

Must be nice to be someone that's not impoverished, huh?

You done? I'll be leaving now.

Everyone on top is always like this!

It pisses me off! You can have everything you want,

but still have this expression on your face like it's not enough!

Why don't you think about those who are speaking from the ground for once?!

Ever since I was doin' Bl@ster, I always thought world would be better off without guys like you!

I'm not scared of you just 'cause you're Lost!

You're still a newbie in Igra!

Someone like you,

who just lives and continues to stay alive somehow,

would be better off dead!

Listen up!

You're not going to defeat Il Re!

I am!

But which way did he go after that corner?!

Was it to the right, I wonder... Or the left?!

...he's not listening...

Oh, sorry!

I'll do my best.
