◇The following contains spoilers
When Hayase (Suzuki) points out that Ichika might be the culprit behind the 1 billion yen robbery three years ago, she mutters, "Is there any point in lying about it anymore?" and begins to recount the events that have occurred up to now.
Ichika revealed that she met Natsumi when she was working at a lounge under the influence of Goroku (Kitamura Yukiya), confessing, "I begged her that I needed money to save my younger sister (Ayaka, Yuki Yoda), and she stole 1 billion yen for me."
When Hayase asks Ichika, "Were you the one who killed Natsumi?", she smiles and says, "I wanted Natsumi's position as the organization's treasurer. Thanks to you, I got 10 billion yen. Thank you." Ichika explains that at first it was just to save Ayaka, but when she learned about the vast amounts of money in the underworld, her world changed, and she declares, "I'm going to take over the Goroku organization. That's why I kept you (instead of Gido), who is easy to use. Build your position within the organization and I want your cooperation when we take down Goroku."
Social media was abuzz with comments such as, "Could Ichika really be the final boss?! Or will there be one more reversal...?", "I'm starting to get more angry at Ichika than Goroku," "I don't think it will be revealed that Ichika is the real culprit," "I hope Ichika isn't your average villain," "Ichika isn't the mastermind, is she? I want to believe so," and "I feel like Ichika is hiding something after all."
