The past arc reaches its end as Sakamoto hunts Uzuki down to answer for Akao and the two settle it in a brutal, weapon-swapping duel. A single gunshot leaves the outcome unclear, then the present pulls back the curtain on exactly who Master Slur has always been.
Summary
In a memory, Akao pitches Nagumo and Sakamoto on launching their own killing-for-hire firm, with herself as chief executive drawing half the take. Later, Sakamoto tracks down Uzuki to demand answers about Akao's death, and Uzuki claims the JAA once held him in bondage but that he now feels entirely free. Their argument erupts into a brawl, with Sakamoto hurling Uzuki away only to face a counter from his signature weapon.
Every bullet Sakamoto fires gets deflected as Uzuki tries to snare him, yet Sakamoto flips the fight, wields the weapon against its owner, and flings him skyward. When Uzuki keeps coming, Sakamoto beats him down, restrains him, and levels a gun. Uzuki begs not to be shot in the head, Sakamoto agrees, and after Uzuki voices his exhaustion the scene cuts on a single gunshot that leaves his fate ambiguous. The story then jumps to the present, where Kashima disturbs Master Slur, and the man now living as Uzuki admits he was dwelling on an embarrassing memory, advising that killers should always keep their last words ready. A closing image of Akao ends the chapter.
