A Tiger Dies and Leaves His Skin.Mikage stops Kasane and a limping Vorona from pursuing after Shizuo, who is preparing for his final showdown against Izaya. Shingen unlocks the briefcase, taking out Celty's head from it, much to Seitarō's worry. Egor hurls Celty's head into her shadows. This turns her back into a knight with her head in tow, but having no memories of being the Headless Rider, which is first witnessed by Izaya. Kyohei arrives at Shinra and Celty's apartment and receives medicine from Emilia. He then tells Walker and Saburo that he saw tons of people possessed by Saika roaming the streets before his accident. In Russia Sushi, Simon, Denis, Tom and Kine are trapped inside while a horde of people possessed by Saika surrounds them. Simon saves Tom from being attacked by a Saika zombie. It is revealed that Nasujima, Haruna and Hiroto, who are watching outside, are working together to create a Saika Army. In fact, Nasujima wants to "recruit" Tom in the army in order to use him against Shizuo. During high school, Izaya was dismayed when Shinra first introduced him to Shizuo, seeing him as a monster instead of a human. In the present, Izaya sets fire to the top floor of the warehouse when Shizuo enters inside. Denis and Kine help Tom barricade Russia Sushi, while Simon provides various firearms for protection. In the online chat room, Chikage interrupts a ranting Namie and tells Mikado to answer his phone instead of screening the call, threatening to harm Masaomi. Mikado calls Chikage, who wants revenge on the Dollars for attacking Toramaru. Chikage kicks Masaomi's injured left leg, causing Masaomi to scream, before informing Mikado to meet downtown. After Chikage hangs up, Mikado tells Aoba that downtown is where it all began, when neither Anri nor Masaomi were not there when the Dollars had their first meeting. Meanwhile, Erika hides from the Saika Army surrounding Russia Sushi.
