You...

What do you know about my family?

I'm not obligated to answer that.

But as a veteran of the underworld, I'll tell you one thing.

This world is littered with scores of hidden truths.

Taiyo, we have an emergency on our hands. Watch the video.

The deputy prime minister's been abducted,

and he's being live-streamed from somewhere.

He was switched with a surrogate in the middle of the chaos earlier.

He must have been their target all along.

Interrogate Kuroyuri right now, and get him to cough up the location.

How convenient.

As I was just about to head over to the abduction site myself.

What?

MISSION: YOZAKURA FAMILY

PLAN 9 THE FLOWER MEANING OF KUROYURI

Oh.

Are you okay, Nanao?

What on earth happened?

I'm sorry.

I messed up the ratio of ingredients and destroyed the inside of this room.

I think you're in worse shape than the inside of the room, Nanao.

The thing is, just thinking that Big Bro Taiyo could get hurt on a mission

makes me so anxious, I can't sit still.

Nanao...

So, in case he comes home looking like a frog's corpse run over by a car,

I'm concocting a really effective potion to heal him up.

If he's a "frog's corpse," that means he'd already be dead, right?

Aren't you worried, Big Sis Mutsumi?

Of course. I'm totally worried.

But since there's no use brooding over it...

GREAT WORK, TAIYO

...what else can I do but prepare a feast and wait for him?

Even if he comes back hurt somehow,

he should recover right away once he eats all this, right?

No, he'll probably end up hurting somewhere else if he eats all this.

Come to think of it, what's everybody else up to?

Well, Big Bro Kengo

is working on a machine-washable face for Big Bro Taiyo to use

if he comes home unrecognizable.

So he's assuming that he won't be all right.

Big Sis Shion is taking out all our haters' computers

so they won't cause a commotion if something happens to Big Bro Taiyo.

Isn't that her just being spiteful?

Big Bro Shinzo is so worried that he's an emotional basket case.

He's been holed up this whole time.

If the ones staying home have lost it, we're in real trouble!

Oh, wow, neither one of them has moved a muscle.

Well, there's no need to worry, right?

That kid can get things done when he has to.

Big Sis Futaba!

Actually, just imagining how gruesome a demise he'll meet

makes my tea taste even better.

I'd call this fun rather than worrisome!

That's what you're thinking?!

Hide Asano, Akari Asano, Hikaru Asano...

One rainy day, they fell off a cliff, car and all.

Your family died instantly, but you alone survived.

Truly miraculous.

However...

some miracles are the handiwork of man.

Are you all right, Taiyo?

Y-Yeah. Just barely.

The driver survived, but Kuroyuri got away from me.

No problem. We expected that.

Huh?

I chose to keep this from you,

but that guy isn't just a cultish politician.

He's a spy, just like us.

Kuroyuri's former alias was Kurogao.

Back then, he was a legendary spy working in the shadows around the world.

He was thought to have died five or six years ago,

but as you can see, he's alive and well.

We eased security on him and left him at large...

so that we could find out what he was up to.

So I was just the bait?

Fortunately, we can rescue the deputy prime minister

by using the GPS tracker we planted on him.

You can return to headquarters now.

This world is littered with scores of hidden truths.

Good afternoon.

Kuroyuri?

What is this?

Oh, relax.

I've set up a venue for us to have a heart-to-heart.

-The media must be in an uproar right now. -

You were an oddball of a politician,

but I always thought you were committed.

I'm disappointed to see that you're nothing but an immature terrorist.

Pulling this kind of stunt won't change the political climate!

I have no interest whatsoever in politics.

What?

You still don't get it?

Well, not that I blame you.

The essence of disguise is to deceive not the eyes, but the soul.

If you think, "No way could he be standing before my eyes,"

you'd never notice him, even if his looks hadn't changed at all.

All the more if it's someone you're sure that you've killed!

Kurogao?

Now, let's begin our conversation.

I'll be speaking not as the leader of the Kuroyuri Party,

but as a father who's lost his child.

I...

I've inflicted vengeance on numerous politicians behind the scenes.

But since you're the only one who knows the whole story...

I wanted to do the deed in broad daylight.

So, time for the interview.

Are you going to speak the truth and be obliterated by society

or refuse to confess and choose to die physically?

The truth, eh?

If I were one to blurt out the truth so heedlessly,

I would be a failure as a politician.

I thought as much.

Farewell.

-The stream got cut off! -What's going on?

Good of you to come, young man.

Let the deputy prime minister go!

It's no use. You can't shoot me.

The Yozakura Electric Revolver Yae

expands its power and range in proportion to its output.

At this distance, that range is a four-meter radius.

If you fire now, this guy will end up in the crossfire for sure.

Your bargaining skills need work.

The moment right after your opponent's attack is your starting signal.

Close the distance as quickly as possible,

and match your moves to your opponent's form!

Got him!

The Yozakura-style jiujitsu move...

...Cascading Kumite, eh?

The greater the difference in physique, the more effective it is.

It's currently wielded by the eldest daughter, Futaba.

Steel and carbon fiber wires are also time-honored Yozakura techniques.

I'll help myself to them now.

How does he know? How can he?

"How do I know all about the Yozakura battle techniques?"

says the look on your face.

I may not have any special martial arts skills,

but I am rather well-versed in handling information.

For a spy, nothing is more vital than information.

But if all you can do is gather information, you're second-rate.

Only when you're able to fully exploit that information do you truly come alive.

Why...

Why would a spy like you turn politician

just to use vile means to deceive ordinary people?

Young man, like I said before, I have no interest in politics.

Then why?

For revenge.

Thanks to my ability to exploit information,

I was prized in the political world.

Yes. Even then.

I'm sending you the accounting data in the hidden folder.

Good job.

Now lie low until your next directive.

Roger that.

Happy birthday, Yuri!

Overworking has turned you into a weirdo, Daddy.

Wait, no! Sorry. I just wanted to make you happy.

I'm sorry too!

Ever since Mom died, you've always been away on business trips.

I've missed you so much, I just felt like being mean for a second.

Thanks for coming home!

Let's have that cake together!

Yuri...

Oh, but if you're going to surprise me, do it right, okay?

Sending me my present first is a dead giveaway, right?

Present?

Yuri!

I'd served my purpose, and so they jettisoned me.

I've murdered scores of people.

I'm not going to start preaching right and wrong.

But I had to drive it home to them...

what it means to antagonize me.

So faking your own death and putting on the fake politician act,

that was all motivated by your thirst for revenge against us?

Yes. And after actually becoming a politician,

it was laughably easy to reel in your comrades

using my achievements and approval ratings as bait.

There was nothing wrong with my strategy.

You're the last man standing, Deputy Prime Minister Shirasagi.

Give it up. You don't stand a chance on your own.

Young man, I'm sure that you know the pain of losing your family.

As a kindred spirit of mine, I don't want to hurt you for no reason.

If you agree to step back now,

I'll tell you all that I know about your family.

I don't need you to tell me about them.

I do understand where you're coming from,

and if there are what you called "hidden truths" behind that accident,

then I do want to know what really happened.

But above all...

I don't want any more people to die.

That's all!

Hinagiku...

I'll take care of the others.

Make sure you arrest the suspect and rescue that man.

Roger that.

As I'd expect of Hinagiku. How flashy.

This unique hollow tells me that it's a battle knife made by Shinzo.

One can load poison into this hollow.

For example...

...something like a muscle relaxant developed by Dr. Nanao!

You don't want anyone to die, huh?

Don't be naive!

People die. Just like my own daughter...

Impressive, Hinagiku Squad Leader.

You have some skill with a sword.

But can a government dog contain us, I wonder?

Red Flames.

I specialize in arson and acts of terrorism.

Blue Water.

I can slash anything from human bodies to hard disks.

Yellow Lightning.

I rewrite both data and brains and destroy them.

When we work as a team, we're unstoppable.

RED BLUE YELLOW SPY FAMILY RANKING: 5TH

Revealing your own information.

How arrogant.

Then allow me to reveal one thing to you.

The foundation of the Hinagiku combat style

is the moving technique Walking on Flowers.

Like flower petals fluttering down to the ground,

you absorb all sound and resistance by treading lightly...

making it possible to move soundlessly and swiftly.

It's just a basic move that anyone can master once they get the hang of it,

but its flexibility can also be applied to sword skills.

If you're confident enough, let's see you stay out of range.

Who's the arrogant one here?

You'll regret this.

Primary Colors!

Narcissus-style Sword Skill...

Underwater Blossom.

So strong.

Taiyo won't last much longer.

I need to get back up...

What was that presence?

You've lost your family, so you should know.

The never-ending pain, the despair that won't go away.

There's nothing that you can change,

not your harsh reality nor this situation.

I agree.

You're right.

ASANO FAMILY GRAVE

All this time, that's how I've felt as I went through life.

But...

...not anymore.

Reality isn't something you just have to accept.

There are also things you can change!

That's what I was taught!

Smoke screens, explosives,

nine techniques, tops.

I have all of your information in the palm of my hand.

Taiyo Asano...

That's...

the Hinagiku-style movement skill, Walking on Flowers!

How is he able to do it?

I've said this before.

Spies engage in wars of intel.

A pro would already know everything about you.

None of your attacks would work on him.

But the arrogance of "knowing" can blunt one's ability to handle the unexpected.

It doesn't have to be perfect.

It can be a mere stopgap.

As long as you trust the information ingrained in your body...

you can turn the tides!

Nanao's antidote, embedded in his tooth, gives him a speed boost.

Shion's combat tactics data analyzes the knife's trajectory.

Kengo's protective fake skin neutralizes the blow.

Futaba's jiujitsu skills move him out of shooting range.

Shinzo's jamming gum disarms the weapon.

Even with my spare gun...

Kyoichiro's Steel Spider means this is checkmate!

To think that information would be my downfall.

You beat me hands down. You're something else, young man.

As someone who's given up on everything, I was always destined to end up this way.

But you, on the other hand, you refused to give up.

You chose to struggle through your hardship.

Out of respect for your mental resilience, let me tell you all that I know.

Uh?

Your...

Huh?

A bullet wound?

But where did it come from?

You must...

move on without fear...

Kurogao...

He must have been silenced by an assassin.

You may not have been able to achieve your goal,

but for now, you should be proud that you carried out your mission.

To take pride in one's success is a survivor's duty,

as well as a way to honor the dead.

On the spot that I've marked on this map, you'll find a single tree.

I laid my daughter to rest here

so that she could see the beach where we often played together.

I'd like you to lay some white lilies,

her favorite flowers, on her resting place.

And inside a small knothole...

you'll find what you're seeking.

Uh?

-I'm home... -Welcome home, Taiyo!

Good work, Taiyo!

Good job!

Welcome home!

-Welcome home, Taiyo! -You did great, Taiyo!

What do you look so disappointed about, idiot firstborn?

Why are you crying, Big Bro Shinzo?

Thank goodness!

So annoying!

I'm so relieved!

Hey, don't fight!
