Lu applies eye-drop antidote on Shin, steady and precise. Meanwhile, Taro presses Tatsu, demanding to know who hired him. Tatsu smirks, asking if telling the truth would buy his freedom. Lu doesn\u2019t bother with the banter\u2014she grabs Tatsu\u2019s poison-coated knife and drives it straight into his shoulder. Calmly, she starts wasting the antidote, letting drops hit the ground one by one. \u201cStart talking before it\u2019s all gone,\u201d she warns.<\/p>\n
Tatsu doesn\u2019t hold out long. \u201cDondenkai LTD., the assassin agency,\u201d he blurts. Shin raises an eyebrow, unimpressed. \u201cThat was fast. So much for your fearless act.\u201d But Tatsu shrugs it off, admitting he has no loyalty to the agency and isn\u2019t looking to die anytime soon. Shin wonders if he\u2019s from JAA, and Tatsu confirms. Lu looks confused, so Shin explains it\u2019s the Japanese Association of Assassins, a professional organization he and Taro used to be part of.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nSakamoto and the ex-Order<\/h2>\n
Tatsu turns to Taro, eyes narrowing. \u201cSo it\u2019s true\u2014you\u2019re ex-Order?\u201d Taro\u2019s reaction is all the confirmation Tatsu needs. The Order isn\u2019t just some urban legend.<\/p>\n
Before things can escalate, Aoi and Hana show up, complaining they\u2019re hungry. The group decides it\u2019s time to eat, much to Tatsu\u2019s disbelief. \u201cYou\u2019re not gonna kill me?\u201d he asks. Shin shakes his head. \u201cWe came to have fun.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hana hands Tatsu a band-aid, smiling. \u201cYou were great at the show earlier.\u201d<\/p>\n
As they walk away, Tatsu watches them, incredulous. \u201cIdiots,\u201d he mutters, pulling out a hidden knife. But then he pauses, deciding it\u2019s not worth it. Instead, he pockets the knife and grins to himself. One more ride on the roller coaster before heading home sounds like a better plan.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nBoiled and Obiguro arrived<\/h2>\n
While eating, Shin mentions he\u2019s feeling woozy from the antidote and won\u2019t be able to read minds for a while. Since that could be dangerous, Lu suggests they call it a day and head home. Aoi watches them suspiciously, noting how weird they\u2019re acting. \u201cAre you hiding something?\u201d she asks, making Taro, Shin, and Lu completely panic.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Boiled and Obiguro show up at the park. It\u2019s packed, and Obiguro wants to bail fast, but Boiled snaps at her to watch her step\u2014she nearly crushed some ants. \u201cWe only take the lives of our targets,\u201d he says seriously. Obiguro rolls her eyes, annoyed but also secretly thinking Boiled is kind hot.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nBoiled and Obiguro prepare to attack<\/h2>\n
In the bathroom, they run into Tatsu. Obiguro takes him down effortlessly, pinning him to the ground like it\u2019s no big deal. Boiled immediately scolds her. \u201cYou\u2019re a lady; sit properly!\u201d he yells. Tatsu, completely bewildered, asks what they want. Boiled calmly explains they\u2019re here to do his job. Obiguro perks up, excited to meet Taro. Boiled, thinking back, notes he hasn\u2019t seen Taro yet\u2014and weirdly, his scar starts aching. Obiguro wonders if Taro gave him that scar, but Boiled brushes it off, claiming he just fell recently. Tatsu, recognizing them as the notorious Dondenkai power duo who wiped out 200 people in the Ronriko incident two years ago, thinks Taro and Shin are completely doomed.<\/p>\n
Back with Taro\u2019s group, they vehemently deny hiding anything. Aoi, unfazed, announces she\u2019s picked their next stop\u2014a haunted hospital. The group is visibly shocked, knowing it\u2019s a perfect spot to get assassinated. As they nervously step inside, Lu pops some anti-anxiety meds. Unbeknownst to them, Boiled and Obiguro are already watching from the shadows.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nTaro was a popular assassin<\/h2>\n
The group explores the haunted hospital but is soon attacked by what looks like a zombie. Shin and Taro quickly realize it\u2019s actually an assassin in disguise and make quick work of him. Meanwhile, Boiled and Obiguro watch everything from the surveillance room. Obiguro gets hyped seeing Taro in action but is cool with leaving him to Boiled since he\u2019s Boiled\u2019s \u201cspecial friend.\u201d Boiled cracks open a bottle of alcohol, downs it in one go, and bluntly declares that Taro isn\u2019t his friend.<\/p>\n
Boiled remembers back when he was 15, training at the JCC assassin school, where he first met 14-year-old Taro. He\u2019d heard rumors about Taro being ridiculously strong and went to see for himself. They hit it off and spent a lot of time together. On Valentine\u2019s Day, Boiled figured they were too \u201chard-boiled\u201d to get chocolate from girls \u2014 but Taro was insanely popular and ended up with a mountain of it. That moment made Boiled rethink everything. He thought they were the same kind of guy, but now he wasn\u2019t so sure. Obiguro wonders if this mission is just Boiled settling an old grudge, but Boiled brushes it off.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nLu verses Obiguro<\/h2>\n
Taro and Shin take down one assassin after another. As Lu starts freaking out, Shin teases her until she decides to chug the Lu Family\u2019s \u201ctraditional medicine.\u201d Turns out, it\u2019s just booze. A knock echoes at the door, and Lu, now light-headed, opens it without a second thought. Out swarm a group of zombies. Taro and Shin dive straight into battle, trying to hold them off, but the zombies lurch toward Aoi and Hana.<\/p>\n
Right then, Boiled shows up, landing a punch that sends Taro flying. Taro recovers and hurls an assassin\u2019s ID card at him. Boiled dodges but still gets a nasty slice on his old scar. He wonders if Taro remembers him. Taro? Completely blank. Instead, he casually asks about Boiled\u2019s family.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Obiguro faces off against Shin, but before they get too far, a drunk Lu stumbles in and kicks Obiguro<\/a> square in the face. Obiguro, weirdly thrilled, grins wide. As tension builds, Taro and Boiled ready themselves for a showdown. Boiled lets a tear fall, vowing to make Taro remember him.<\/p>\n Angry, Taro demands an answer. Boiled calmly responds that if Taro lost something, he\u2019d have to find it himself. Taro, furious, throws a punch, but Boiled dodges with ease, tossing a bomb in his direction. Taro counters with a kick, which Boiled narrowly avoids, hurling a flurry of bombs that encircle Taro. Boiled closes the distance, landing a punch with an armored glove fitted with two angled pipes on the back.<\/p>\n Obiguro hears the commotion and declares the fight has begun. Drunk Lu stumbles forward, swinging a clumsy punch at her. Obiguro catches herself, gripping Lu by the bangs and shaking her head. \u201cYou gotta do better,\u201d she scolds. She adds, almost mockingly, that she could kill both Shin and Lu in an instant, but there\u2019s no thrill in that. Her men arrive, tying up Shin. \u201cPeople show their true strength when they\u2019re freaked out,\u201d she smirks, ordering Lu to hit her. \u201cIf you don\u2019t, we\u2019ll cut Shin up.\u201d Lu breaks down, sobbing and apologizing to Shin, unable to act.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Boiled sizes up Taro. \u201cIt\u2019s been five years since I retired. That\u2019s five years of experience you don\u2019t have.\u201d He shakes his head. \u201cBack then, you were the epitome of hard-boiled. Now look at you.\u201d Sakamoto lunges at Boiled, but Boiled effortlessly deflects him with another bomb. \u201cStruggling\u2019s pointless,\u201d he sneers. \u201cWith my Super Ball Bombs (SBBs) and Rocket Dynamite Punch (RDP), I can hit you at any distance or angle. Did you forget that too?\u201d<\/p>\n Sakamoto\u2019s memory flashes to Boiled showing off his bombs back at JCC<\/a> with Nagumo. Boiled\u2019s voice cuts through the memory as he yells at Taro. \u201cI used to look up to you! You carried out missions perfectly. Now you\u2019re weak \u2014 half-assed. You can\u2019t even protect your family.\u201d His punch launches Taro into a wall.<\/p>\n As Boiled lights a cigarette, he suddenly freezes, sweat beading on his brow as he senses overwhelming murderous intent. Slimmed-down Sakamoto approaches from behind, coldly listing the compositions of Boiled\u2019s bombs. Taro, catching his breath, declares, \u201cI remember now. From this point on, I\u2019m going all out.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\t<\/p>\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nShin gets captured<\/h2>\n
