Summary
At a structure marked for demolition, Kotarō Yanagisawa and a government agent observe a cloaked stranger. Yanagisawa's thoughts drift back to why he once proposed to Aguri Yukimura, hoping her drive and resolve might rub off on him. That plan collapsed after the first God of Death used him as a pawn, stripping him of everything he valued.
He signals the hooded figure to begin, and the man is revealed as the second Reaper. The successor broods over how his predecessor never acknowledged his gifts, the very grievance that drove him to turn traitor.
Drawing on fresh enhancements, the second Reaper flattens the whole building in mere seconds. Impressed, the official notes that the two have narrowed their focus to a single quarry, and together they form a dangerous killing team aimed squarely at Korosensei.
Key Events
Yanagisawa recalls his engagement to Aguri and his ruin at the hands of the original God of Death. The hooded operative is unmasked as the second Reaper, who reveals his resentment toward his former master. His upgraded body reduces a condemned building to dust within moments.
