The Bug Master, Toshiki Hanamaki.
He's a longtime colleague,
as well as my friend.
W-Wow. So it's this guy's wedding, huh?
He's just what I picture
when I hear "Master."
W-Well, have fun.
Hey, Kinosaki.
There's a butterfly for you, too.
"Dear Mei Kinosaki,"
"How do you do? I hope you aren't
sweltering in this early summer heat."
"Mr. Gero has informed me
of your arrangement."
"I cannot thank you enough for taking
the time to help him find a partner."
"Nothing would please me more than you
accompanying him to my humble wedding."
"Please allow me to express
my gratitude in person."
"Yours truly,
Toshiki Hanamaki, Bug Master."
How's he such a great guy?
This is a first for me,
so I don't have the right clothes.
Still, I want to get things right
for his wedding, you know?
That's the spirit.
And there's always a chance
you'll meet someone new at a wedding.
I think I'll pick up a new outfit, too.
Your treat, okay?
And here we are
at the Bug Master's wedding.
It's ten times more "fairy tale"
than I was expecting.
Gero!
Gero, you—
You came back to life?!
You're wicked worn out, boss man.
Been leanin' too hard
on your Modified Bloodline.
That was a pick-me-up,
but it's only so effective.
Uh
Kinosaki, let me introduce you.
This guy
is Tsunagi, the Needle Master.
Like the Bug Master, he's a friend of mine.
Always happy to help.
Hey, boys. We've got money to burn.
Who's up for Undeadsney Land this weekend?
Will we get to meet Undeadsney, Pa?
You bet.
And the optimal route
for the attractions?
You can plan it.
He's a good dad.
He has three boys.
Oh, so you're the boss man's
marriage advisor, huh?
Must be rough. I feel for you.
You can tell?
Honored guests,
we cannot thank you enough
for taking the time to join us today.
We will now celebrate the union between
Toshiki Hanamaki and Anna Kawakita.
If the sun is ever going to rise
on the criminal underworld,
the organ trafficking networks
and the drug cartels
must link hands in unity.
I aspire to end the criminal underworld's
long period of forced isolation
I'm glad to see you.
I only came to warn you in person.
Listen up. You can try to curry favor
with me all you like,
but it won't get Grandma
to treat your clan any better than—
Oh, sorry if I gave you
the wrong impression.
I just wanted to have a drink together.
With you, Hikaru Gero.
Won't you join me?
You're underage, so it's not alcoholic.
Gero, did you hear that?
Huh? What?
How they met.
The bride, Anna, got into trouble
while mountain-climbing, and
That's so like him.
Kinosaki.
Do you think I can pull off
a marriage this perfect?
Of course. You've got me in your corner.
Congratulations, Toshiki.
You've got plenty of happiness
and plenty of love. Don't you, Bug Master?
How is that fair?
They met in the mountains
and now spend their days camping.
They hike, of course, but they also
enjoy chatting around a campfire.
I'll take another chateaubriand!
And at night, beneath a starry sky,
they make their own secret constellations.
Wait, Gero!
You're supposed to give
a speech after this!
Kinosaki, take over for me.
Huh? What's with the spider?
You said it, Julia Jr.
You're his partners. You want to keep
his wedding unmarred even more than I do.
I mean, this is the best day
of Toshiki's life. Right?
In exactly five minutes,
all of you rush your assigned entrances,
and kill whoever you want.
The more corpses, the bigger your bonus.
You can leave when the Bug Master
and his Master friends start fighting back.
While they're distracted,
I'll stick a "firework" on the bride.
I bet she'll make a real pretty color
when she goes off.
One he'll never be able to forget,
even if he wants to.
Guess that's what I get
for hiring mercs on the Dark Nav.
Well, in that case
Change of plans.
(Firestorm Labyrinth)
(Firestorm Labyrinth)
Firestorm Labyrinth!
Aw, what a waste.
I set those to give the fleeing guests
a real-life escape game.
Aw, man. Well, it's his own fault
for getting in my way.
All that matters right now
is paying back the Bug Master,
the man who stole the only spark
of passion in my life.
Yeah. Back then, nothing mattered to me.
School, jobs, marriage.
It all made me go, "So what?"
(Borrower: Hiroshi Takanashi)
Even when I ended up buried in debt,
(Joint Surety: Masahide Yamada)
Even when I ended up buried in debt,
Even when I ended up buried in debt,
I just went, "Yeah, so?"
And when my "payment" meant someone
calling himself the Puppet Master
"customizing" me into
a hitman for some gang,
I just went, "Oh, yeah?"
Yamada.
I've planted miniature bombs
in your wrists, ankles, and head.
Press the switch in your back tooth
at the moment of impact,
and your enemy will explode along
with your own flesh and bone.
(Explosion Roulette)
(Explosion Roulette)
An Explosion Roulette.
Trash exists only to die with grace.
If worse came to worst, I could just
take my opponent down with me.
(Yamamoto Electric)
The Explosion Roulette sparked
my passion for the first time ever.
Until I met him.
I've got him!
If I set off my ace in the hole,
the bomb in my head,
I can trade my life for
I disarmed it.
You don't need to live
in fear of death anymore.
And that's how he took my passion from me,
just so he could feel good about himself!
So don't I have the right to break
something that means a lot to him?
I got new limbs as an advance
from the Puppet Master,
made out like a bandit doing dirty jobs,
and waited for this day to come.
Anyone who gets in my way is—
Oh, hey. He's already dead.
Yeah, go with that, Kinosaki.
I need you to fill in for me.
Sushi? Sure thing.
Did you say something?
Oh well. I don't know what your deal is,
but nobody nice holds a grudge
against the Bug Master.
We don't need your lame sideshow.
Now, let's hear from
a friend of the groom.
I'm gonna make Gero treat me to sushi
that costs hundreds of thousands of yen.
(The Bug Master's Wedding)
It's really pouring now, huh?
So much for the gorgeous view
of the sunset.
Now, a word from a friend of the groom,
Mr. Toshiki Hanamaki: Mr. Hikaru Gero.
Or not?
Stage fright gave Gero an upset stomach.
He left a letter for me
to read in his place.
My name is Mei Kinosaki.
Hey, buddy. You're a Master, right?
(Explosion Roulette: Prosthetic Edition)
Hey, buddy. You're a Master, right?
(Explosion Roulette: Prosthetic Edition)
Don't you think you'd better stop holding back
with your Modified Bloodline?
I wouldn't waste it on you.
"Toshiki, Anna"
"Congratulations on your marriage."
"That's not something I ever thought
I'd say. I still can't believe it."
"Toshiki."
"I'm looking for a bride
myself right now,
and it's hard as hell."
"The old me would have snapped,
'Not a chance! You're wasting your time!'"
"But here I am, hoping to meet
the one for me. And that"
"That's because of you, Toshiki."
Toshiki
- [Toshiki]
"Tell me. Back when I was
like a prickly ghost,
why did you decide to care about me?"
"On behalf of past me,
I'd like to thank you."
"If it wasn't for you"
"I'm sure I'd still be"
Nice aim, you—
"You don't let anything stop you from
reaching out to someone who's suffering."
"That's what makes you my best friend,
and the coolest guy I know."
I don't want to make this special day
a bloody one.
So leave.
Seems you're having trouble, Yamada.
I stand by my products.
I'll release your limiters.
You'll blow them all away with
a blast wave that hits like a typhoon.
Just you wait, Bug Master!
Damn it.
How's that fair?
You hang out in a way deeper,
darker underworld than a hitman like me.
So how can you hug an enemy so gently?
Yamada, you're going the wrong—
Don't tell me you're
Shit. Shit! Damn it all!
Have a farewell present from me!
"Finally, to Anna.
It goes without saying,
but the moment you found Toshiki
your happy ending was guaranteed."
It ends there.
Thank you for listening.
I'd like you all to take a look
out the window.
Toshiki.
Congratulations.
Kinosaki, thank you.
For the speech, and for helping Gero.
Oh, it's no big deal.
Anyway, don't you think
you're a little too nice to him?
You've been looking out for Gero
since he was all rough around the edges.
Well, to tell you the truth,
I should be the one thanking him.
With the power dynamic
between our families,
him calling me his friend
and coming to my wedding
is more than I have a right to hope for.
What power dynamics?
Aren't you a Master, just like Gero?
The Hanamaki family of Bug Masters
started with venomous insects.
The Tsunagi family of Needle Masters
started with poisoned needles.
There are plenty of other Masters,
like the disease guys,
but our branch families
all descend from the Poison Clan.
So our hierarchy is set in stone,
with the Five Great Families at the top.
The Gero family.
The Arima family.
The Dogo family.
The Kirishima family.
The Nasu family.
The whole society of Masters is made up
of their branches and offshoots.
Occasionally, you do get
an unaffiliated family,
but those of the branch families and below
would end their lives without complaint,
if their Great Family ordered it.
That's how big the difference is.
Listen, Toshiki.
We live only on the sufferance
of the Gero family.
Centuries of toying with lives
has made monsters of the heads
of the Five Great Families.
Don't assume they share our values.
They see the lives of enemies and allies
as mere pawns to enrich their clans.
Unless you want our line to end,
just be silent and obey.
Oh, it's quite all right.
Raise your heads.
This is Master Hikaru. He was tentatively
named heir the other day.
When I first met Gero, rather than
fearing him, what struck me
was how he seemed, well
We lowly worms owe our very lives
to the Gero family's generosity.
Well, let's leave it at that.
Y-Yes, sir.
Master Hikaru!
Please use and discard his life
as you would a lowly insect's.
I beg of you.
He's not a bug, though.
He seemed like
it wasn't his fault
people trembled in fear of him.
He was really just a guy.
A regular, stand-up guy.
When I told my father
we were drinking buddies,
he passed out foaming at the mouth.
Ms. Kinosaki.
I'm sure it'll be a hundred times more
hassle than for me or the Needle Clan,
but please make him ridiculously happy.
Oh, it's tough, all right.
He tends to freak out
in front of girls, for one thing.
Well, you know how it is.
But I know he's a good guy
as well as you do.
I promise I'll find her.
Gero's partner for life.
Kinosaki's been bonding with my colleagues
while I wasn't looking.
What are they up to?
Call me if you're gonna go fight.
You have kids to take care of.
Toshiki.
Have a hundred million blessings.
Be happy!
Y-Yeah.
He had a blade on a long pole,
and he was really good
at waving it around.
Uh-huh. Only
Apart from that,
he was kind of, um, normal?
Great work.
(Poison Master - Hikaru Gero)
(Spear Master - Nagahiko Kushima)
Okay, I'll send you
the next list of Masters now.
Good luck wiping out those hitmen.
