Ninja vs. Gokudo (忍者と極道)

Kiwami.

This place is super fancy.

I made a reservation here to toast a friend

after he successfully completed a project.

But he couldn't make it.

I see.

Now, let's enjoy the night view and chat to our heart's content

about Flash Princess.

How far did we get with our chat last week?

That's right! It was the insane Yankira arc.

The main character defeated Yankira, who was rampaging through the streets.

Meanwhile, Nemurun the fairy faced off against the enemy leader, Gakimira.

Nemurun morphed into human form to confront Gakimira.

But then...!

Gakimira's deadly blade mercilessly cut Nemurun down!

Shinoha?

Is something wrong?

Nah, thinking of Gakimira just irritates the hell outta me.

I know what you mean.

A child of madness, born from the enemy's magic.

He plunged us into the depths of anger and fear.

Gakimira's madness not only affected Abu, but Heath, his creator, too.

And bound by fate, Abu and Heath finally...!

Hey, Mommy... I've picked who to kill and what bad stuff I wanna do.

But like, but like, I'm missing the final piece to make it happen.

What do you think, Mommy?

Yeah, yeah.

I know, right? Doing bad stuff is sooo hard.

That's for sure! You're the bestest, Mommy!

But it's okay.

For sure and certain,

I'll kill Kiwami along with the ninja.

That scumbag who threw Mommy away...

I'll kill him for sure!

Sako, did Shiki's autopsy tell you anything?

I, Sako, shall get straight to the point.

Shiki's cause of death

was organ failure due to a precise stab wound.

Stab wound?! It wasn't poison, big brother?!

I detected no poison on the weapon. That's when I knew.

One of her wounds reached her liver, causing it to fail.

A terrifying skill using a deadly disease rather than poison.

A skill that only came to light because Shiki stole the weapon.

Shiki put her life on the line to leave us information about the enemy.

I made a grave mistake dividing our forces in this battle.

Laugh at your incompetent chief in the afterlife, Shiki.

I'm pretty sure Gamute, the little shit who took my eye, killed Shiki.

His skill is one I won't forget.

Chief, what about the camera analysis Shiki was handling?

We've got nothing.

For some reason, Shiki's computer is locked down tight.

It'll be a struggle to unlock it, even for me.

Let's rock this party tonight, yeah!

Yeah...

But we're short on numbers, right? What are we gonna do?

Good question...

For now, how about that great fried chicken place?

Perfect!

By the way, Shinoha...

Have you smiled again since then?

No.

Shinoha, make yourself another new friend.

Each new friend you make

provides a new, unexpected spark that can change you.

Maybe one of those unexpected sparks will bring a smile to your face once more.

So, how do I do that?

It's no good, Chief Cabinet Secretary Hizikawa!

He's nowhere to be found in the building!

Search the vicinity!

Don't let the media get wind of this.

Yessir!

Good grief!

Kanshichi has had me running in circles since middle school.

TOKYO STATION MALL

No one would ever guess this stylish guy is the Prime Minister.

Walking around the city incognito.

I feel like the guy in that samurai drama!

The Prime Minister?!

That's the PM, right?

PRINCESS STORE

This is the place.

Wh... What is this sheer onslaught of numbers?!

It's more than some political parties have!

You're telling me I have to choose from all these?!

Whoa, the last Tokyo exclusive edition Princess Grape. Lucky!

Excuse me, I'd like to enlist your help.

I'm shopping for my grandchild, but I have no idea what's what.

Uh... sure, I guess.

You kinda look familiar.

Do you know the name of the character?

I'm pretty sure it was the blue one, the Student Council President.

That doesn't give me much to go on.

This is Princess Aquos.

Huh.

Princess Beauty.

Huh?

Princess Maid.

Huh?!

She's more indigo, but Princess Siren.

What?

School Council Secretary, Princess Mondo.

Aren't they all the same?!

No, they're not!

Normal people just don't get it.

Come with me, old man.

We'll start from the top.

This isn't just some girly anime!

It's a rich, profound story of love and friendship.

It's been going for 17 years.

Now that's a rock-solid long-term administration for you!

ODEN HEIHACHI

Well now, young man.

You've opened my eyes to something great.

When I get home, I'll start making my way through all 17 years' worth.

Come to think of it, we never introduced ourselves.

I'm Shinoha Tanaka.

How about you?

M... Me? Well, I...

I... I'm Shinnosuke Tokuda.

Shinoha, you can call me Shin.

Ah, sorry for making you keep an old man like me company for so long.

It must have been boring.

No, no, that's not it.

A lot of stuff happened, and um...

I can't laugh or smile.

You can't laugh or smile?

Boooiiiinggg!

S... Shin, what are you doing?

Ayeeeh!

Leave it to me, Shinoha.

It's my duty to protect everyone's smiles.

Duh-huhm!

No, it's fine! That's not going to work...

Who do you think I am?!

I'm the Prime Minister of Japan, Kanshichi Aida!

Ah, damn!

I came out with my usual line!

There he is!

Gaaah!

Gaaah!

We ask that you keep quiet about this.

Hang on, hang on, what just happened?!

Oh, sorry.

Huh, it's you?! No way, no way, no way!

Why, why, what are you doing here?!

Hey, you seriously don't know?

It's me, it's me!

Me, me, me.

It's me.

It's me... Gamute.

Hey, what happened to your eye?

What, do ninja have regenerative powers or something?

Gamute!

Hang on a sec.

A bit of a brawl here would be cool...

But we've both got stuff we wanna ask each other, right?

Yummy!

You're the one who killed Shiki?

Ah, that uggo?

Yep.

She was strong.

The strongest person I've killed so far.

So, I went all out and killed her. I full-on cursed her.

It's the highest honor an assassin can show.

But hey...

You're the one who killed Bwuva Yajima, right?

The cut on his neck...

It was the same as the one on my wrist.

It was me, yeah. He was strong.

Cool! We're a perfect match!

I'm going to the restroom.

What was that noise?

Something's flying around!

I can't see it, it's too fast!

Those famous attacks of yours can destroy gokudo cars.

And your face says, "How can his blade fend them off?"

It's simple. I'm killing your strength with my skill.

A killer will kill anything.

Damn...! He was seriously aiming straight for my guts.

I'm a gokudo killer who's a pro with a blade.

I will stab, no matter what!
