The episode begins with Lu fighting against Obiguro; her drunken rant about the Sakamoto group being "family" turns the fight into a rivalry pact. Meanwhile, Taro (in his slim form) faces off against Boiled in a ferris wheel duel, using his determination to protect his loved ones to force Boiled into surrender. After the duel, Boiled warns Taro about the relentless bounty hunters (Dondenkai) and the JAA's interest in his head.
Back with the group, Aoi confronts Taro for hiding the bounty—triggering a plan to eliminate it by targeting its source. Boiled and Obiguro retreat, hinting at the elusive leader of the Dondenkai. Later, Taro takes Shin and Lu to a secret video library where information is conveyed through films. The owner cryptically warns that someone from Taro's past is connected to the Dondenkai.
Meanwhile, Nagumo dines with the JAA's elite contract killers (Hyo, Shishiba, Osaragi) under the guise of The Order—a group tasked with eliminating "Slur/X," a killer who marks JAA hitmen with an X. Nagumo deftly dodges suspicions about his loyalty, while Iriya, a JAA official, orders The Order to neutralize Slur.
Taro's group then storms the Dondenkai headquarters, only to find Nagumo there. He claims to have slaughtered the gang but reveals they were already dead—victims of Slur. Nagumo links Taro's bounty to Slur's rampage, exposing the JAA's deeper conspiracy. In a post-credits scene, Slur is seen standing over fallen hitmen, with an X engraved nearby.
The episode ends at Sakamoto's shop: after fending off more assassins, Taro, Shin, and Lu commit to intense training to prepare for the looming threat of Slur and The Order's hunt.
