Spoilers ahead
Mr. Kaito, Hiroki Matsukata, runs the Kaito Group, a formidable force of over 2,000 soldiers within the Tenseikai Syndicate. His ambition is stark and unyielding: absorb the Shirane Group’s 500 fighters and the Yokomizo Family’s 400, and emerge as the single largest faction so that he can be chosen as the successor to the syndicate’s hospitalized leader. To pull off this audacious plan, he enlists the help of Mizushima, the sharp-witted head of the Shirane Group, and Muroi, a trusted man within Shirane. Mizushima, in turn, is promised the top spot within Shirane if the maneuver succeeds, a reward that makes the scheme feel all too doable for everyone involved.
