In the second episode, an unidentified armed group wearing monster masks takes over a huge TV station broadcasting a special program for the Tokyo gubernatorial election. They seal off the building and take 500 people, including the gubernatorial candidates and program staff, hostage. Detectives Musashi Saburo (Sakurai) and Izumi (Sonin), who are at the scene, try to get Musashi's wife Yuko (Manami Higa) and daughter Emiri (Yoshida Honoka) out, but Izumi is shot by a "tengu". Musashi leaves the fallen Izumi in Yuko's care and runs off with Emiri.
Honjo (Kumi Takiuchi) and the rest of the on-site command headquarters discover a way to infiltrate the TV station. Security chief Yashiro (Takahashi Katsunori) sends in SAT members. Behind the scenes, the plan of the Blue Demon Yamato (Fuma Kikuchi), who escaped from the detention center, is quietly in motion...
Meanwhile, Yo narrows down the number of hostages to 13, releases the rest, takes over the show, and starts a live broadcast. He puts one of the hostages, Mikawa (played by Takashi Kitadai), in a "death bath of boiling water" and demands that Musashi expose Mikawa's darkness... and so on.
Afterwards, there is a scene where the Tengu who shot Izumi and Gashadokuro, who was chasing Emiri, take off their masks, and it is revealed that the Tengu is played by Daisuke Shiba of the comedy duo "Mogura Rider," and Gashadokuro is played by Himari Hitomi , who plays Shin Uto , a maid at the Yanai household, in the currently airing NHK Asadora drama "Anpan ."
On social media, there were many comments of surprise, such as, "Shiba-san?!", "I was surprised," "It's Shiba-san! I had no idea," "I was like, "No way," "That's the best!" and "He's really cool," as well as, "In Anpan, she's the maid of the Yanai family!", "Even though I've seen Anpan, her aura is so different I didn't think it was the same person," "I'm shocked," and "I had no idea."
