You know,

they say that torii gates are the front door of a god's home.

Imagine you get home after a mission

and find your front door in shambles.

How sad would that be?

But you were busy eating katsudon.

Because I was finishing your leftovers.

Hello?

Hey. How's it going, Shishiba?

Nagumo. Are you eating something?

I'm at work. It's my break.

You've got a side-gig?

Did you see the list the inmates had?

Check out the last page.

One moment.

So this was Slur's plan all along...

DUMP SAW

He meant to have the inmates kill each other in the end.

MINIMALIST

Now that's twisted... And practical, I suppose.

Actually,

I think they were meant to drag it out.

What are you saying?

This is turning out to be a real pain.

MIKAN

ROUND AND ROUND THE TOWER

What's that?

Incredible...

This is the longest connection I've had!

You're the first...

Will you...

listen to what I have to say?

Sorry.

I don't have the time to listen to you blabber.

What a cold-blooded man.

Got it wound up.

Hey.

Do you remember the first time you connected with the world?

What are you talking about?

You know, the first time you felt like you weren't alone in this world.

I remember it clearly.

I didn't get along well with the other kids.

I got it!

You suck.

I'm home.

My mom didn't care about me.

We barely ever talked to each other.

I don't even remember her voice.

But...

Hey, now, Apart!

What's the matter? You're all down in the dumps.

Did you eat a pickle by accident?

My dad was the only one who was kind to me.

He was always busy with work, so I didn't see him much,

but I liked my dad.

Listen to me, Apart.

With people, it's what's on the inside that matters.

Just be honest and kind to your friends.

I'm sure everyone will realize how great you are.

You're a good kid, Apart.

But first, you need some practice!

Here. I got you something.

Hi, Apart!

Will you be my friend?

Um...

Can I play with...

Who the heck are you?

What a creep.

I don't get it.

Why won't they play with me?

Who the heck are you?

Dad! Welcome home.

Dad, guess what! I...

I'm sorry, Apart.

It's gonna be okay.

Tomorrow, we'll go to the doctor together.

There's nothing wrong with him. He's the picture of health.

We didn't find any tumors or anything.

Nothing... wrong...?

That can't be true.

So, what?

Are you telling me

that there's nothing wrong with my son,

that he just tore an animal apart because he wanted to?

Well, uh...

Are you insinuating

that he was born a monster?!

Dad!

Get away from me!

You creep me out.

What the hell are you?

I'm...

I'm not a monster!

Wow...

Look, Dad! Your brain looks just like mine!

We're just the same on the inside!

Thank goodness.

I'm...

connected with everyone after all.

That was the first time I ever thought,

"Oh, I'm not alone."

"I'm human, just like everyone else."

This is how I confirm my connection with others.

So if you don't mind, I'd like to see inside you too.

You're wrong.

When you kill someone, all you're doing is severing that connection.

You need to stop hurting people.

How dare you. You can't dismiss my way of life.

I can't believe how inconsiderate you are.

Hey, is the tower tipping over?

Hey, we're tipping over!

Wow!

It's like a slide!

That does it.

After I kill you and take you apart,

I'll leave your body parts unorganized.

You don't have the right to talk about human connection.

This ends here.

What?

Wait a second...

Does the tower look like it's leaning?

That can't be good, right?

This is not good, Taro!

This is bad.

I'm so excited.

I'll get to connect with all these people!

I bet my dad would be so proud if he found out about this.

Power lines...

Good thing I'm heavy.

It stopped...

Should we head down while we can?

My head is spinning.

I was in the middle of talking.

It's rude to walk away.

Time for you to show me what's on the inside.

What do I do?

What's that?

What is going on?!

It looked like it was going to fall down, but did it stop?

It did stop, but... it looks kind of weird now.

Did Taro do that?!

Why?

That threatening aura... Could it be?

Hey, Gramps! You done in the bathroom already?

Did you hear that huge noise just now?

Anyway, this is my chance.

I'll make him feel my weight.

So heavy!

Damn you!

Why won't you let me connect with you?!

Why am I the only one...

I'm human, just like everyone else!

So why?!

Why is it so hard for me to live in this world?!

You have the choice to change how you live your life.

So...

I won't let go of this string.

Cool!

SKY TOWER STAMP RALLY

There we go.

Mission accomplished.

Thanks!

What a hassle.

All that just so we can talk.

MIYA CLINIC PHYSICAL THERAPY - ACUPUNCTURE

Aw, the tea's all gone.

Hey, Lu!

Get your leg out of my space!

Granny, do you mind if I make another pot of tea?

Do what you want.

What? Where am I?

I was fighting Sakamoto at the tower just a minute ago, wasn't I?

Why is this table warm?

What is this?

THE HIT MAN POST UNSOLVED CASE FROM 18 YEARS AGO

Who are all these people?

Hey. You're awake, huh?

Pretending to sleep won't work on me.

What do you want?

Are you with that deer guy too?

You just want to use me, don't you?

Well, I won't let you.

I don't take orders from anyone!

Use you?

No, no, it's nothing like that.

We just want you to help us with something.

What do you mean?

Wait, why haven't you killed me?

You can thank Mr. Sakamoto for that!

Come, sit down.

We have no grudge with you.

We just want some information on the person who hired you.

Yeah! You're the only one we can count on.

I'll give you this mikan if you help us. What do you say?

The only one... they can count on...?

Did you not think I would attack you once I woke up?

You might've.

But I had a hunch

that you'd change your mind, so we took the chance.

Besides, if you did try something,

I could just slam you into Sky Tower again.

Gotta say, I'm impressed you survived getting beat up by Taro.

I know you're the enemy, but I still feel sorry for you.

If Mr. Sakamoto hadn't held back, you'd be six feet under right now.

You should count yourself lucky.

They're talking to me like I'm a normal person...

What a bunch of weirdos.

What do you want me to tell you?

All right! Thanks!

The guy we met was part human, part machine, and looked like a deer.

I don't know who Slur is.

Part human, part machine, and looks like a deer?

So it's him.

You know who that is, Mr. Sakamoto?

Yes.

So? Where did you meet with him?

I went to the hotel he's staying at once.

Things got heated and I tore him apart.

But after that...

I left one of my strings in there and listened in for a while.

This is just what we need to get the jump on the JAA.

Let them keep wreaking havoc.

Then we move on to phase two according to plan?

Yes. We shall.

While The Order is distracted by the inmates,

we'll destroy their base of operations.

They're planning to wipe out the JAA in one swoop while it's shorthanded.

I don't think you guys should get too involved.

Not that I know much about it all.

The Japanese Association of Assassins, JAA for short.

Boasting over 1,000 members,

nearly 400 of whom are professional hit men.

It is the largest assassin organization in Japan.

KILL

Next!

The recoil is so strong, it keeps jamming.

The slide isn't going all the way back.

This'll be useless in combat unless we fix it.

Here, at the JAA Kanto branch,

they provide mission support to assassins, including management, mediation, and more.

Thank you for calling the JAA. Would you like to request a mission?

Will this be a murder or an accident?

A murder. Yes, of course.

In addition, they make repairs to public areas damaged during missions

as well as the development and manufacturing of new weapons.

In other words, they are the beating heart of the JAA.

And today, at this very location,

an incident unprecedented in JAA history is about to take place.

Wow, big place.

This is the JAA?

Yes.

Though it's not the headquarters.

I knew they were loaded.

Where should I park the bike?

Go in right here. I think they had bicycle parking in the back.

Excuse me. May I ask what your business here is?

To enter this building,

you'll either need a visitor's pass or an employee ID.

Well, actually...

we're not JAA assassins.

I see.

Then I'll have to assume you're intruders.

Following JAA regulations, you will now be eliminated.

Hey, Boss, don't you have your JAA license?

I didn't like how my photo turned out, so I threw it away.

I feel you. They always take those pictures

without any warning, don't they?

Wha...

I haven't stepped foot in here in ages.

I feel a bit nervous.

It's kind of like going back to school after holidays.

SLUR

That jittery feeling.

Oh, I get that.

Like seeing your classmates the day after you get a haircut.

Exactly.

You get nervous too, huh, Boss?

The reason your performance suffers when you're nervous is because

you become too self-conscious about your normal movements.

You got that from one of your books again, didn't you?

So let's try to relax, Gaku.

Don't tell me that. You're the one who's nervous.

One step closer to noble justice.

Destroying the JAA?

That Slur is definitely crazy, huh?

What should we do, Mr. Sakamoto?

For now, let's head to the JAA.

What?

There we go.

What do you do on your days off, Shin?

Me? Well, recently I've been hanging out with Heisuke.

Check it out.

The other day, we did airsoft and then went to a hot spring.

Wow, you two are close!

What about you?

Actually, I hung out with Heisuke too. We went to the arcade.

See? There was this new zombie game that I wanted to play.

He looks so scared!

Mr. Sakamoto! Good morning!

Mr. Sakamoto, what have you been doing on your days off?

Yesterday, we had hot pot with Heisuke.

Huh?!

What?

Nothing, it's just...

We've been spending time with Heisuke on our days off too.

Everyone's hanging out with Heisuke!

Well, he's always free, so...

Here goes the roller coaster!

- Whoosh! - This is so fun!

- Going up! Going down! Loop-the-loop! - How nice, Hana!

He's so popular!
