How horrible.
It's an emergency!
Get the dogs out!
Ryuukou Yanagi.
One of the strongest, most evil death row inmates.
He broke out of prison like this before and came to Tokyo.
Emergency!
He has a small build that doesn't even reach 160cm.
But by instantly creating a vacuum in the palm of his hand,
he can break strengthened glass
and make strong men faint in a heartbeat.
And with his lethal poison hands,
he is even able to send his opponents to death.
After getting through many fights,
he lost both his arms to Izou Motobe
and was destroyed with one attack from Yujiro Hanma.
This is the only surviving prison officer who was at Yanagi's prison break.
He should be able to tell me what happened.
It's impossible.
Even God...
would be fooled by him.
He has been like that ever since he came in.
His skin was half acrylic.
He'd stare vacantly at one spot.
Or maybe he wasn't looking at anything.
He wouldn't say a word.
Even a plant would be livelier.
His transfer to a normal hospital was a unanimous decision.
Hey old man, can you move?
I'll never forget what I saw...
from outside that cell.
Of course I can move.
The sheets danced violently.
There were blood spurts and screams.
When the sheets fluttered down,
Ryuukou Yanagi was gone.
SEVERAL DAYS LATER
Inspector Sonoda, coming through.
SUPERINTENDENT GENERAL'S OFFICE
I saw your report.
-What happened to him? -Sir.
After his escape, his whereabouts are completely unknown.
I thought the death row inmates' case was all over.
At least, that's what I heard.
You are correct.
That's what we thought as well.
How are the other death row inmates?
What do you mean?
If Yanagi escaped his cell,
shouldn't you check on the other inmates' whereabouts as well?
It's as you say.
Hurry it up.
Yes, sir.
I'm surprised Dorian is being held here.
Dorian is a death row inmate who has killed many.
But he was once a Sea King who mastered kung fu here at Bailin Temple.
We took him in because of our old ties with him.
Dorian.
He is also one of the strongest, most evil death row inmates who came to Tokyo.
He fights by using the many weapons and tools he hides in his body.
He also uses hypnotism
which lets him control his opponents.
But Dorian took one hit from Sea King Retsu
and finally met defeat.
I already knew.
This life of mine, supposedly colored by victory
was in fact a path to darkness.
And since then,
he should've regressed back to the mind of a toddler.
Look.
He's in here.
Dorian is painting a picture?
And this painting is candy?
Yes, it's a painting of candy.
I wonder how many of these he has drawn.
He only draws candy.
He's good at it.
They sell well and at quite the price.
Those paintings sell well?
That's right. However,
the problem is that form of his.
Is it some kind of training?
Yes.
It's a Chinese martial arts exercise that strengthens your lower body.
It's called the zhan zhuang.
And his squat is so deep.
How long has he been doing this?
It's based on that.
A mountain of candy?
He won't stop until he eats all of it.
As a result, his lower body looks like that.
He has gained 20kg since he started his rehabilitation.
I wonder if this can even be called rehabilitation.
Dorian's actions...
aren't for rehabilitation at all.
He's preparing.
He's preparing for something big.
It looked to me as if he were meticulously preparing.
I was told of your arrival. Right this way.
It's been like this since the budget cuts from back then.
Even the lights are in horrible condition.
Although, I guess lights and sound don't matter to Doyle.
-Sound? -Yes.
He ruptured his eardrums on his own.
He ruptured his eardrums?
Doyle is blind, if I recall correctly.
Doyle.
He is also one of the strongest, most evil death row inmates.
Mr. Unchained.
By using weapons and ammo buried in his body,
he turned himself into a weapon.
Come at me. Come.
During his fight with the Shin Shin Kai, his mental state changed
and Doyle finally knew the taste of defeat.
But during the following fight, he lost sight in both eyes
and was imprisoned in this medical prison.
Why did Doyle, who is blind, rupture his own eardrums?
I have absolutely no idea.
-Except... -Except?
Doyle said something strange when he entered this facility.
Well, he does have a disability,
-but he'll work-- -No!
-What? -I have no disability whatsoever.
What?
I am complete.
By losing a monumental thing we call "light,"
I've obtained a monumental treasure that replaces that light.
Is that so?
And so, Chief...
Sound.
Sound is another important sense.
What if I exchange my sense of hearing?
Chief.
I wonder what I will obtain.
So with that, Doyle ruptured his own eardrums.
Then what did he obtain exactly?
I'm not sure.
But it's been 1.5 years since he lost hearing in both ears.
Based on recent reports from the prison guards,
Doyle did something strange in his cell.
He caught a bat.
A bat?
Yes. As you know, the inside of these cells is filthy.
They're full of bugs.
The bats target them and get lost in there.
He caught bats in the dark?
Yes, and it appears he said something strange again.
Oh, there's skin.
Jeez, I wonder what he meant.
Doyle went to the trouble of throwing away his hearing
and gained a keen sense of touch.
But for what purpose?
Sikorsky?
He's an obedient one.
No, nothing dangerous has happened.
Is that so?
Although, if I had to say one thing...
What?
Sikorsky.
He's also one of the strong, evil death row inmates,
easily escaping a prison that was considered inescapable.
Using his body as a weapon, he has hurt and killed many.
Serves you right!
Davai!
And Sikorsky should have
finally accepted his defeat.
I lose!
Have mercy!
It's called pinching power, right?
Pinching power?
What kind of power is that?
It's how strong your fingers can grip.
And right when Ivan prayed for the imp,
the imp plunged into the earth like a stone into water.
Deep into the ground.
Gripping, holding, and pinching use power from your finger.
They say that you can bend a coin with your fingers if you're amazing.
Oh, geez.
Mr. Sikorsky.
Can you return that?
We as staff don't get paid much.
Even a single coin is valuable to us.
Hey!
It wasn't just bent.
It was balled up like scrap paper.
Wow, I was astounded.
Okay, want to take a peek?
He balled up a nickel coin with his fingers.
You can do such things if you have extreme pinching power.
See?
He's gripping the wall.
It's a surface with nothing on it.
Not sure if he's sleeping or awake, but...
he stays like that until morning.
It's Inspector Sonoda.
SUPERINTENDENT GENERAL'S OFFICE
Superintendent General?
The superintendent general is out.
Where to?
Actually...
One of the death row inmates, Spec, is imprisoned in this medical facility.
I can hold my breath for five minutes.
Spec.
One of the strongest, most evil death row inmates.
He has unimaginable physical ability.
After killing many people,
he came to Japan.
But Spec lost in a lethal fight against Kaoru Hanayama.
That defeat acted as a trigger,
and he experienced rapid aging.
His true age was actually 97.
Spec is now bedridden.
That's why I put off investigating him.
Why is the general here?
-Excuse me. -Oh, Sonoda.
They want you to see this too.
Please take a look.
This is Spec's thermography.
The muscles being used are shown by colors that represent body temperature.
The heat from his shoulders
spread to both of his palms at once.
The heat is moving?
Exactly.
From his palms to his chest, stomach, and thighs.
It goes through the calf
and reaches his toes.
The chain of muscle movement takes roughly 1.5 seconds.
The movement completes very quickly.
General.
Spec repeatedly does this all day while he's awake.
Isn't Spec hospitalized right now?
Yes, he's bedridden.
The other day,
we sent this data to the Tokyo Sports Physiology Research Center.
We received interesting news.
He's swimming.
He's swimming?
Swimming?
Yes.
And it's the butterfly, the most intense and exhausting form.
He does the butterfly while in bed?
And what's more interesting is that the color from the thermography
shows a higher output than swimming.
Spec isn't swimming in water.
Then what is he swimming in?
It's far more
high-viscosity and syrupy as a liquid.
He's forcing himself through a sea of liquid that's far heavier than water.
It's a super-weighted butterfly.
I wonder where his destination is.
What do you think, Sonoda?
Even after looking at each inmate, it doesn't make sense.
Their goals are unclear.
But perhaps
it's the same as when they gathered in Japan.
The same phenomenon may be happening in separate places again.
-Synchronicity. -Yes.
We can't rule out the possibility.
Looks like we'll need strict vigilance and investigation, Inspector Sonoda.
Yes, roger that!
