◇The following contains spoilers
In the second episode, police raid a sports bar in Roppongi, and employees and customers are arrested on suspicion of gambling. JBN panics when they find out that Japanese volleyball ace Nawa (Suzuki Takayuki) and announcer Koike ( Kanato Tsukishiro there, have been voluntarily taken into custody. Nawa and Koike are subsequently cleared of suspicion, but after being released, Koike makes a direct statement on the show based on Shindo's advice, revealing that the two are dating. Meanwhile, Nawa's cell phone is not returned by the police, and suspicions are raised that he is not only involved in sports gambling, but also in fixing matches through his connection with "ALLAN," a sports gambling tipster boasting an 80% success rate.
So Shindo called on "ALLAN" to come forward on the show and reveal the truth behind their high hit rate, and "ALLAN" appeared on the show via phone...
In fact, Nawa's trainer, Imai (Mikata Ryosuke), was secretly withdrawing money from Nawa's account and gambling further as "ALLAN" to repay his gambling debts. Furthermore, it was discovered that Nishina (Miyagawa Ichirota), the president of e-Stream, the main sponsor of the International Volleyball Championship, was the bookmaker of sports gambling. He was also trying to get Imai to flee overseas. Nawa was not gambling or fixing matches, and his trainer Imai had a good grasp of Nawa's condition, which led to his high prediction rate.
Just when it seemed like the case had been closed, Chief Cabinet Secretary Hanyu (Kinya Kitaoji), who had been working behind the scenes in the first episode, suddenly dies at the end of the series. JBN Chairman Kunisada (Hideki Takahashi) sneers, "I can't believe you went before me. I'm grateful. You took the secret to your grave."
Hanyu, who was also seen as the "final boss," was suddenly taken off the stage, causing a flood of shocked reactions on social media, with people saying things like, "What? You're kidding?" and "The final boss died?"
