Centered on Masami Hirukawa, this episode shows the darkest sides of human greed and what people will do for money. It was deeply disturbing yet masterfully written, ending with an unbelievable, unexpected twist. What a fantastic watch!

The darker tone really stood out here. I liked how the story kept things tense without making it feel rushed. The mood felt different from the earlier episodes, and it showed how much darker the series could get. It was probably the most intense episode so far.

This episode has a lot of crime and thrill. The last part was especially funny, showing that not everything goes as expected. Overall, a fun watch with some surprises.

Episode Context

After episode 3's focus on Harumi Chono and her fractured identity, the series continues its pattern of rotating through seemingly disconnected characters whose lives orbit the Lil' Slugger phenomenon. Episode 4 deepens the show's thesis that each victim harbors their own psychological crisis, and Hirukawa's story plants seeds that will prove significant as the investigation threads tighten across the season's back half.
