Adversity Makes a Man Wise.Shizuo approaches Mikado carrying Vorona's motorcycle, saying that he is resigning from the Dollars. He then interrupts the quarrel and wreaks havoc on Asanuma, scaring off the thugs. Vorona attempts to stab Shizuo with her ballistic knife, but that sets him off with no effect on his body, as he hurls her motorcycle at her and chases after her. As she goes back to the truck, he notices that Akane is being held captive inside. He kicks a car repeatedly and uses it as a shield to get closer until he makes it inside the truck. Celty, who has been following behind, prevents Vorona from shooting Shizuo. Slon stops the truck, causing stray knives to descend, but Shizuo shields Akane from being hit. As Vorona and Slon drive off, Shizou jumps out of the truck with Akane in tow. Then, Celty creates a shadow web at an intersection to cushion their fall. Mikado catches up to Chikage and Non, admitting that he is the leader of the Dollars and that he is responsible for the current events. However, Chikage initially does not believe Mikado and advises him to live an ordinary life. Shiki is glad that Akane has returned to her father Mikiya Awakusu, who was responsible for framing Shizuo for the murders of the members of the Awakusu Group, who were actually spies. Mizuki Akabayashi and Shu Aozaki shoot Slon in the kneecaps and tranquilize Vorona during an ambush. It is revealed that Egor is business partners with the Awakusu Group. Mikado agrees to be the leader of the Blue Squares, but first stabs Aoba in his right hand on a piece of paper to form a contract.
