One year earlier...

The King of the Sheep!

Wherever you hide,

there's no escaping gravity.

You monster!

I'm going to kill everyone in the Port Mafia.

Episode 26

Dazai, Chuuya, Fifteen Years Old

This is hopeless.

Our weapons smugglers are two weeks behind schedule.

Our men are going to be fighting with kitchen knives at this rate,

and that's not all.

With the escalating violence, we're losing contracts for our protection business.

Maybe we just aren't cut out for this.

What do you think, Dazai-kun?

Come on, Mori-san...

Not having money, not having intel, not having the trust of your subordinates...

You knew that from the beginning, didn't you?

You're so mean.

Say, why are you mixing hypertension medication

with hypotension medication?

I thought taking them together might be a comfortable way to die.

Dazai-kun,

you were there when I inherited the boss's seat.

You're a witness for his will.

I can't have you dying so willy-nilly.

How do you feel, boss?

Doctor... tell the executives to murder them all...

The opposing organizations, the military police,

everyone who opposes the Port Mafia, by sundown.

That's not a rational course of action.

I don't care how many men we lose.

Kill them.

Just kill them.

Kill them all!

Kill them!

Kill them!

Kill them!

Understood, boss.

The boss has passed on due to his illness.

He left word saying I will inherit his position as the boss.

You're my witness.

Got it?

You made an error in judgment.

It was smart of you to choose someone who attempts suicide as your accomplice,

but here I am a year later, alive.

I made no error.

You and I were successful in our mission together.

The mission isn't complete until those who were involved

in the assassination are silenced.

To that end, I was a perfect accomplice.

Even if I ended my life in a suicide of unknown motivation

after you became the boss thanks to my testimony,

no one would suspect a thing.

You remind me of someone.

If I was going to silence you, I would have done it long ago.

If you really want, I can prepare something that'll end your life comfortably.

Really?

In exchange, I want to ask you to do a quick investigation.

It's not a big deal.

There's no danger involved.

Sounds so sketchy.

I trust that you know about Suribachi City in the Yokohama settlement.

There's a rumor going around that a certain individual has emerged in that area.

I want you to investigate that rumor.

This contract is a delegation of authority. They call it the "Silver Message."

Show this to any Port Mafia member and they'll do anything you ask of them.

Who is the rumor about?

Take a guess.

A rumor that's harmful just by spreading...

I see.

So that's what's going on.

It's the previous boss, isn't it?

Correct.

There are some humans who must never rise from the grave.

You understand, don't you?

You'll promise to make me that drug?

This'll be your first job.

Welcome to the Port Mafia.

Oh, right.

Who's this person I remind you of?

Me.

Dazai-kun, why do you wish to die?

Let me ask you, then.

Do you really think there's any value in the act of living?

The Yokohama foreign settlement.

There was once a giant explosion here.

In the resulting crater, people began building a city.

That's this place: Suribachi City.

The Complete Guide to Suicide

So they drink metal plating to kill themselves overseas, huh?

But those who have their organs melted while they're still alive.

Yuck.

Glad I didn't try it.

Hey, did you know about that?

Um...

Hirotsu.

I'll take that into consideration.

This boy was there with the boss when the previous boss passed away.

I shouldn't underestimate him.

Dazai-san.

Yes?

This area is in a state of conflict.

Be careful.

Conflict?

The Port Mafia currently has three enemy organizations.

One is Takasekai.

Another is GSS.

And, lastly,

a complementary army comprised entirely of juveniles, the Sheep...

It's Mori-san.

Hello?

Yeah.

I learned a few things.

Long story short...

I found the previous boss.

He came back.

From the pits of Hell.

Yeah.

I'll give you a proper report when I get back.

Dazai-san!

This is perfect.

A kid!

The Port Mafia must be really desperate for people.

I hate pain, you know?

I'll give you two options.

Die now, or die after you give me information.

Either's fine.

Kill me now, then.

All the better if you can kill me comfortably.

What, are you just a suicidal brat?

You're a brat, too.

I'm not just any brat, unlike you.

Why don't you tell me about this "Arahabaki" that you're snooping on.

Arahabaki, huh?

I see. Arahabaki.

You know about it, do you?

No.

Never heard of it.

Those who step into the Sheep's territory will be met with fierce retaliation.

I see.

So you're the King of the Sheep.

Nakahara Chuuya, manipulator of gravity.

I'm not a king.

I just happen to have a card up my sleeve.

I see.

You're a cocky, over-confident child.

You're the kind of person I hate the most.

And I hate condescending little pricks like you more than anything in this world.

That's enough.

Surrender, boy.

You're not scaring me, old man.

Who do you think I am?

The King of the Sheep, huh?

No, dumbass.

I just happen to have a good card.

The card of power?

Are you gifted, too?

Hirotsu-san, this kid controls the gravity of anything he touches.

Understood.

That's the Port Mafia for you.

I was expecting more from you.

Is that it?

Too slow.

Got you.

Your ability isn't going to work on me.

I'm not so sure.

You've lost your grip on gravity now.

With my ability of nullifying the powers of others.

Now, boy...

It's time for you to regret.

He got me.

He kicked me before you used your ability.

I let go.

He used his ability to fly backwards.

He took no damage.

I don't feel like dealing with you right now.

Let's go, old man.

Hirotsu-san!

The previous boss...

Welcome to the Port Mafia,

Nakahara Chuuya-kun.

I'm honored to have been invited.

I hear you put on quite the show with my men yesterday.

Not for long, before someone got in my way.
