In episode 5, Musashi (Sakurai), trying to expose the dark side of TV station director Hinode (Kameda Yoshiaki), interrogates Tokyo Governor Oshiba (Mayama Akishi), who has clues, but during the interrogation, Oshiba dies of a mysterious electrocution. Security chief Yashiro (Takahashi Katsunori) seals off the building and searches for the culprit, but no suspicious person is found. Honjo (Kumi Takiuchi), suspecting an internal crime, orders Shima (Gunpii) to carry out a top-secret mission to expose the enemy who has infiltrated the building.

Meanwhile, if Hinode's dark secret is not exposed within two hours, he will be impaled and killed. Musashi rushes to investigate the incident from five years ago. Hinode's crime was to pin the blame for his own peeping and secret photography mistakes on newspaper reporter Takatsu Kunimitsu, driving him to suicide... Afterwards, the demonic cat and kappa remove their masks, revealing that the cat is Takatsu's daughter, Minami (Iriyama Anna), and the kappa is Takatsu's son, Haruto (Haru Kashiwagi).

Kashiwagi, who plays Haruto and is a member of the dance and vocal group Bullet Train, was ranked first in the "NEXT category" of the women's fashion magazine ViVi (Kodansha)'s popular "National Treasure-level Handsome Men Ranking," a ranking for men aged 22 or under in the first half of 2025. On social media, he attracted a lot of attention with comments such as "His looks are too good... he really is a national treasure-level handsome man," "Aren't they too handsome?", "Too cool," and "Beautiful siblings."

Born in March 2005 in Kumamoto Prefecture, he debuted as the 14th car of the "Bullet Train" in August 2022. He is also active as an actor, having co-starred with former TV Tokyo announcer Kasumi Mori in "Toyed with by a Younger Virgin (Cherry Boy)", which aired on MBS's "Drama Special Zone" slot in April this year, and also starred in the drama series "Ghost Yankee", which aired in April last year.
