Chapter 94: Twisted

Club Jam checks whether the old man is the Database, and Seba confirms it. Amane cries out a warning that Club Jam, the one who hypnotized him earlier and served under Uzuki, is standing right behind Seba. When Seba moves to cut down the grandfather at Club Jam's command, Shin throws himself in to shield the old man.

Insisting he is not someone who falls to hypnosis, Shin swings at Seba, only for the boy to disappear using his invisibility gear. Unable to fix Seba's position, Shin grows frustrated. In the chaos Club Jam lunges at the grandfather, who blocks the strike, and Amane cracks Club Jam with his staff, though the man savors the blow and even thanks him for it.

As Shin and Seba trade attacks, the scene cuts to Mafuyu and Toramaru, who talk over the grim odds that no rescue is coming if they simply wait. Mafuyu reveals he has already called his brother, who may show up soon, and drifts back through their childhood, remembering how he once loathed Seba and even imagined killing him someday. Forced by their parents to train side by side, Seba kept his distance yet always turned up when Mafuyu was in trouble. Back in the fight, Seba abruptly stops and demands to know from Club Jam where Mafuyu is. Ordered to finish Shin, Seba instead joins him in a combined blow that slams Club Jam to the floor.

The truth surfaces: Seba was never under any spell, and his obedience was pure performance. In the moment he seemed poised to stab Shin, he relayed the whole plan through Shin's mind-reading. Once the deception lands, Amane and his grandfather both smack Seba on the head, and Seba shrugs that anyone would pick their own brother over a friend's grandfather. Following the plan, Shin plucks Mafuyu's whereabouts from Club Jam's thoughts, leading them to an abandoned warehouse in Bangkok where Uzuki might also be. At that instant Club Jam claps, dropping Amane into a trance and ordering him to kill Shin, Seba, and the grandfather. Seeing his father in his mind, the entranced Amane starts whirling his staff to attack.

Seba's apparent hypnosis is revealed as a staged act, coordinated with Shin through mind-reading, culminating in a joint strike that floors Club Jam. A flashback fleshes out Seba's difficult history with his brother Mafuyu. Shin reads Club Jam's mind to locate Mafuyu at a Bangkok warehouse possibly holding Uzuki. The chapter ends with Club Jam's clap hypnotizing Amane and commanding him to kill Shin, Seba, and his own grandfather.

Set in the JCC Infiltration Arc and printed in Volume 11, the chapter's title Hinekuremono renders as Twisted, fitting both Club Jam's masochism and Seba's deceptive maneuver. Its cover features Seba, Shin, and the janitor Byodo. The installment expands Seba and Mafuyu's backstory and ties the fight to Uzuki's possible location in Bangkok.
