The Awakusu Group executive Mizuki Akabayashi, nicknamed the “Red Devil of Awakusu,” hates drugs and keeps a vigilant eye on the trends in the city of Ikebukuro. The reason why he hates drugs goes back six years to the night of a fateful encounter.

Kadota was in a hit-and-run and the resulting rumors have Saburo and Walker taking action. In an effort to get information on the Dollars, Shuji Niekawa contacts Haruya Shiki. Meanwhile, Akabayashi follows up with Izaya on his investigation of Mikado.

Chikage approaches the Yellow Scarves with a choice, “Have your gang taken over, or have it destroyed.” While Masaomi decides how to respond to this, Anri learns more about Saika and must make a decision of her own.
