Lu Shaotang doesn’t expect that the vicissitude uncle is the chief of the research laboratory. She’s angry to grab Asakura’s neck after knowing he’s the mastermind in Sakamoto Days Episode 8. She doesn’t know the guy is a victim as well.
Although Asakura is the chief, he’s locked up by a mysterious organization after he refused to accept the order. Lu Shaotang doesn’t understand why they caught her. She thinks about it and she remembers Tanaka mistook her for Shin. Asakura is shocked when he hears Shin’s name. Lu Shaotang wonders if the guy knows Shin. Asakura was the one who gave Shin superpower.
It flashes back. The little blond boy is the six years old Shin. Asakura is only twenty-five years old. He takes away the meat from Shin when Shin is complaining. He eats the meat and he claims that it’s a waste to provide food for a fool like him. Shin is the kid Asakura’s old friend entrusted. The two’s fate gear turns by chance. They’re father and son from an outsider’s point of view.
Asakura helps Shin do homework. He helps him take bath as well. He teaches him some lessons as a human. Although Shin is mischievous, he reads book next to Asakura sometimes. He puts the cover on Asakura when Asakura falls asleep. He guards Asakura if someone badmouths the chief. But the life begins to change one day.
Asakura finds a different thing when he’s studying medicine. Shin mistakes it for a drink and he drinks it up. There’s no side effect at that time. Shin speaks out Asakura’s thoughts when they take a bath. He gains the mind reading ability. He speaks out others’s thoughts when he’s free. Everyone begins to stay away from him. Asakura neglects Shin’s heart because he’s busy in the research. Shin runs away from the lab after he felt that he doesn’t get accepted. Asakura doesn’t see Shin since then. It becomes the regret in Asakura’s heart that he cannot wipe away. He doesn’t have face to see Shin. He thinks Shin won’t forgive him.
The sad plot makes Lu Shaotang and Tanaka cry. But Lu Shaotang thinks Shin won’t blame Asakura. After all, the boy likes his superpower very much. Asakura doesn’t believe that Shin would make real friends. Lu Shaotang speaks out Shin’s convenience store life. Asakura freezes for a moment. He does an expression management soon. He takes out a bottle of corrosive liquid from his pocket. He opens the iron gate.
It draws the attention of the guard. But Lu Shaotang kills the guard with just one kick. The prison break team of three is formed. Lu Shaotang plans to go to look for Sakamoto and Shin. She doesn’t expect that the two are having a fight.
We finally know how did Shin get his superpower when Lu Shaotang find Asakura in the prison. Sakamoto Days gave us an illusion that the people from the lab are bad. Shin suffered a lot in the lab. They want to catch him. The truth is the lab is like a family to Shin. Everything was changed after Shin drank the lotion that was made by Asakura. Shin got his superpower but he also could hear others’ thoughts. You know everyone has a secret that he doesn’t wish others to know. But Shin spoke it out in front of the scientists. It made the scientists dislike him and they isolate him. He was just a six years kid. He was sensitive so that he left the lab.
Sakamoto tries to punch Mad Horiguchi. But he punches Shin’s face. He was implanted the electronic device which can control body. Mad Horiguchi is proud. But Sakamoto knocks him over. He learns that he attacks Mad Horiguchi if he attacks Shin. He thinks it’s funny.
Shin saw Sakamoto’s punch. He expresses that he fears it. He thinks the punch is powerful than before. It’s good since Sakamoto found the way. But it’s weird that he still hits Shin. He doesn’t know the device can be switched by Mad Horiguchi. The guy enhances his arm. Shin catches the flaw when he avoids the attack. He kicks Mad Horiguchi. He thinks the kick will hit him.
But he doesn’t expect that Mad Horiguchi can control him as well. Mad Horiguchi lets Shin kick Sakamoto. He doesn’t give the two any time to pant. He enhances his right leg. He appears next to Shin. He hits him and he breaks the glass door. Sakamoto wants to do something. But he worries that he will hurt Shin. Mad Horiguchi beats Sakamoto down when he hesitates.
The strongest hitman was defeated by him. Mad Horiguchi is very happy. Shin tells Mad Horiguchi not to be proud. He reveals he can read his thoughts. Mad Horiguchi isn’t happy after Shin mentioned his superpower. He gives him a set of syringes treatment. He claims that it’s meaningless if Shin’s body cannot follow it. He doesn’t understand why the chief wished to get the useless power.
Shin remembers Asakura who took care of him. Sakamoto carries Shin who lost his confidence. He thinks Mad Horiguchi doesn’t know the real strength of Shin’s superpower. Mad Horiguchi doesn’t believe it. He injects himself with all potions. His body gets enhanced.
Sakamoto tells Shin his plan in his mind. He thinks it won’t work even if Mad Horiguchi can switch the device. Because his plan is to attack two people at the same time. He speaks out his next movement in his mind then. Shin can avoid the attack through reading Sakamoto’s thoughts. Sakamoto punches Mad Horiguchi. Mad Horiguchi wonders why he’s the only one who gets beaten. He falls down.
Shin mistook that he would get killed. He thinks it’s embarrassed if he couldn’t avoid Sakamoto’s attack. He thinks his big brother is the strongest. The scientists help Shin and Sakamoto take out the control devices. The two go to the floor where Lu Shaotang stays. Shin thinks other members of Order aren’t simple since Sakamoto is so strong. Sakamoto thinks about it. He tells Shin that a member of Order can kill ten of him. He suggests he pretends to be dead if he encounters the member. Shin doesn’t believe it. He thinks Yoichi Nagumo isn’t strong. There’s a trap appearing when the two have a talk. Shin avoids the trap. Sakamoto is too slow. He falls into the trap.
Sakamoto is a strong hitman. It’s reasonable that he can kill Mad Horiguchi very easy. But Mad Horiguchi has ability to transfer the attack to Shin. It gives a hard time to the legendary hitman. But Sakamoto is very smart and he’s experienced. He uses Shin’s superpower. He defeats Mad Horiguchi when he makes sure that he wouldn’t hurt Shin.
We go to B5 floor. The man who wears a deer head mask named Kashima. He took his men to break into the lab. Both sides know each other’s history. Shishiba and Osaragi came to the place for getting the message of X. But Kashima won’t speak it out so easy. His two followers walk to Shishiba. Shishiba wants to let Osaragi take action later. But Osaragi kills the two.
Shishiba is stained by the blood. He didn’t wish Osaragi to take action because he didn’t want to get his clothes dirty. It’s nothing. What he wears are cheap clothes. Kashima witnesses his followers being killed. He tears up. He thinks the two are cruel. He wonders if they have family or friends.
Shishiba and Osaragi freeze after they heard Kashima’s speech. Shishiba wonders if Kashima killed people before. Kashima cries when he touches the suture on his right hand. His arm was stuffed swords. It looks scary. Kashima attacks Shishiba. Shishiba is hurt.
Kashima didn’t cause serious harm. Shishiba shows up behind Kashima. He uses a hammer to go against his head. He pulls hard and he makes Kashima see his back. We think it’s over. Shishiba and Osaragi plan to leave. But Kashima stands up. His body was made by artificial bone. He’s had a full body makeover.
Kashima is introducing his body composition. A person falls from the sky. You are right that Sakamoto falls from above. His appearing stuns everyone. Shishiba sees his previous colleague. He has a talk with Sakamoto and he introduces the rookie Osaragi.
Osaragi is freezing. She doesn’t listen to what the two say. She thinks Sakamoto is like a teddy bear. Although Sakamoto hit Kashima, the guy won’t be killed so easy. Because he’s a cyborg. Although he doesn’t know why Sakamoto appeared there, he will be praised by X if he gives Sakamoto’s dead body to X. Kashima pulls back the threads on his mouth. A small Gatling is exposed. There’s a weird weapon on his left hand.
Shishiba and Osaragi come to the lab to look for X. But they encounter Kashima. They guy is a cyborg. He won’t be killed so easy. So Shishiba leaves the job to Sakamoto. It’s Osaragi’s fist time to see Sakamoto. She joined Order after he left the group. So she didn’t know him even if they’re members of Order. It seems that she has feelings for him. But he has a wife who is a fierce female tiger. Osaragi shows her strength in the episode. She’s heartless to kill Kashima’s two followers even if she’s a pretty lady.
Shin reaches B3 floor. He senses something when he’s running. He stops. He looks ahead and he sees a transparent stuff. You are right that the guy is Natsuki Seba who kidnapped Lu Shaotang. Natsuki Seba tells Shin that he can get a bonus if he kills him.
He keeps a distance from Shin and he begins to be stealthy. The fight begins. The transparent Natsuki Seba goes behind Shin. Although Shin can know Natsuki Seba’s approximate location by reading thoughts, he cannot see the guy’s attack trajectory.
Natsuki Seba knows he will win. But he doesn’t want to end it so easy. Because he wants to hang in there until he’s off duty. Shin is stabbed by Natsuki Seba. But he finds the key to win. He holds back the pain and he puts the blood on Natsuki Seba. He talks to himself suddenly. Natsuki Seba is confused. Two bullets shoot his shoulder and his waist. You are right that the person is the best sniper Heisuke Mashimo.
It flashes back. Heisuke Mashimo goes to Sakamoto’s store to get buns like he did before. But there’s only Hana Sakamoto in the store. Heisuke Mashimo finds the place soon after Piisuke helped him.

Shin and Sakamoto part after Sakamoto fell into the trap. So Shin has to explore the floor alone. He runs into Natsuki Seba who appeared in episode 7 ever. Shin wasn’t his rival in the episode. He was pulled off the car. Shin was fine because Sakamoto stayed with him. But Sakamoto isn’t there. He cannot help Shin. Fortunately, Heisuke Mashimo arrives before Shin is killed. I am surprised that Heisuke Mashimo would come to save Shin. Because he was Shin’s enemy in episode 6. What made him do it? Were those buns?
Shishiba and Osaragi leave the main battlefield because they need to go to look for X. Osaragi worries that Sakamoto will lose. She doesn’t believe the fat guy will win. But Shishiba tells the lady not to worry about it. Although Kashima is tough, Sakamoto can deal with the guy. Shishiba knows Sakamoto won’t be killed. Sakamoto and Kashima’s fight begins.
