Synopsis
Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chūya are attacked by GSS soldiers in the middle of investigating an explosion caused years ago by Arahabaki.

Summary
Dazai and Chūya are stopped by a GSS soldier before investigating the survivor of the explosion one week ago. Chūya approaches the soldier and uses his ability to restrain him. They were then surrounded by other GSS soldiers who proceeded to shoot Chūya. However, in the end, all of them were killed by Chūya's attack leaving their captain alive to question their reason for the attack and what they know about Arahabaki. Dazai approaches the lone soldier and proceeds to shoot him continuously, but Chūya eventually stops him.

Chūya and Dazai enter the building and find Rimbaud sitting by the fire. Dazai then interrogates him about what he knows about Arahabaki at the Suribachi City. Rimbaud starts to relay what happened during that time - the Port Mafia is on their way to battle the members of Sheep when they are blown away by the black explosion and see a beast in the middle of the explosion. After Rimbaud's explosion, Dazai claims that he had solved the mystery of the resurrection of the former Port Mafia boss.

Dazai and Chūya are seen playing in an arcade, resulting in Chūya's loss in the game. Dazai offers that who can catch the perpetrator of the Arahabaki mystery, he will call off their bet on making Chūya his slave. Dazai then asks the reason why Chūya is looking for Arahabaki. Two Sheep members are seen entering the arcade to which Chūya hides from them. Dazai calls out Chūya's name - eventually making the Sheep members find him.

The two Sheep members approach Chūya and share the news about Akira and Shogo being abducted by the Port Mafia and ask for his help. Chūya reassures both of them that it is being dealt with. Dazai asks the two what they know about Arahabaki. The two shares their information with Chūya's approval. Shirase persists in Chūya to help their abducted members near the Port Mafia base. Chūya scolds them for stealing near Port Mafia's base. Shirase politely demands Chūya use his ability to save their members.

Dazai butts in their conversation and reveals that Chūya is busy carrying out Port Mafia's orders which the two Sheep members don't believe, threatening Dazai. Dazai contacts Mori and asks to free the Sheep members. Dazai and Chūya leave much to the Sheep members' shock and anger.

Dazai is seen having prepared a part for someone. Rimbaud asks Dazai about the truth of his finding out who is the culprit behind the resurrection of the former Port Mafia boss. Dazai reveals it to be Rimbaud. Rimbaud is astounded by Dazai's claims asking his reason for it. Dazai reveals that Rimbaud could not have seen the sea as Rimbaud previously stated in his claims.

Chūya comes out of nowhere and attacks Rimbaud. Chūya reveals that he knew that Rimbaud was lying all along. Dazai asks Chūya how he knew Rimbaud was behind it, to which Chūya reveals that he knows Arahabaki exists. Rimbaud asks him where it is, to which Chūya reveals that he's Arahabaki all along.
