Story

A woman flees from an attacker. A paper with a zodiac seal. She pricks Musashi with a needle and renders him unconscious, after he rescues her from the attacker. Some airline attendants place suitcases at an airport's entrances, while a "cleaning crew" shoots tranquilizing darts at security police. Musashi and his sister talk about how they got caught. She tells him that it was related to the disappearance of their older brother Kenichi 30 years before. One of beast-masked people's tablet reads "60 minutes until airport occupation". 45 minutes later, it starts, with the airport's system hacked, as the opening ceremony begins. The beasts remind Saburo of the past occupation. The Kanagawa New Airport is now overtaken. The Musashis try to get out as one of the suitcases explodes.
Sakura Izumi, on leave since the last occupation, is requested by Musashi. Izumi heads the investigation, and a new member takes Suruga's place. As Musashi's information reaches the team, Shima and Iwatsuki notice the masks are animals of the zodiac, with two missing: mouse and dog. The police chase the suspects that held the Musashi siblings, who are attacked and taken with the other hostages. A live feed of the suspects, as they are killed by a suitcase bomb in a cargo container, is projected unto the airport's main hall. Izumi tried to stop the team at the scene, but is overrun by Chief Kawagoe.
The Beasts channel show the hostages. Suruga surprises Musashi revealing she is one of the Beasts. After the hostages lives are threatened, Musashi negotiates between the Beasts and the police. Futaba leads an escape plan. The police close in as Musashi comes out a trash chute with a bomb on him. One hour to decipher Iwao Shirakawa's crime's clue posted on the virus-hacked KSBC computers. A year before, Shirakawa sued Momoka Niimi for embezzlement after she complained about cases of power harassment. She died by suicide after suffering from off and online harassment. Niimi's PC, hacked by Yonezawa Law office, the airport's lawyer's firm, was used to change her testimony. Her friend Sena pledged to avenge her becoming a Beast, the Rooster. The Beast Channel showed Shirakawa abusing his employees.
Sena's information now takes Musashi and Honjo to a trap-filled abandoned factory. Honjo fights for her life over a roller crusher, while Musashi is trapped in a cell. The escaped hostages get caught. The next "victim", Yonezawa, has to reveal his ties without saying who it is. The police have 50 minutes. The KSBC relays to Musashi. Masao Mibu is in reality Shigeru Kitami, a House of Representatives member on the run from multiple crimes related to the prior occupation. Futaba goes to the Beast's control room, expecting to be next, but Dragon, who called her about Kenichi, thanks her for the information. She and the re-captured hostages return to the closed room. The Beasts free Yonezawa and bring Mibu in. "Tiger" and "Monkey" are revealed, surprising the police. It was former Special Forces SAT Administrator Kazuki Tamba and his son, Naoki. Both left the force 6 months before. Tamba's wife, Ai, a freelance journalist, died by suicide after being slandered by allegations of fabrication in an article involving Kitami, with no proof. Shima goes to a data center to find the content on one of Ai Tamba's files that Iwatsuki finds. Musashi has to discover Mibu's lies, learning things from an unexpected source: Koichi Yamato, who Musashi visits in jail. Musashi thinks Yamato and Suruga are linked in the current incident, but he says they only worked together in the past. As Musashi leaves frustrated, Yamato tells him: "Who were the animals not included in the zodiac?" Shima, who discovers surveillance cameras videos in the file, is trapped in the data center, and is found unconscious by Musashi and the center's security guard.
Emiri calls Yuko, who is on her way home from the hospital, when she is held at gun point by a hurt man who she tried to help, then forced to go to her own house to cure him. Something catches his eye from the photos there. While he sleeps, Yuko frees herself and Emiri, and gets out, as policeman Ayabe arrives. Ayabe lets them in the car, as he searches for the mysterious man, who is awake and hiding. In Ayabe's incoming messages, one tells him to get rid of Yuko and Emiri. They try to escape, but are locked in. Yuko calls the police. Musashi is made aware.
Tendo, away from the group, reads a note from the Beasts. She could poison one of the hostages to be let free. Police learn that Ai Tamba was killed by Kawagoe under Kitami's orders, but before he confesses, Kawagoe dies poisoned, supposedly, by Izumi. Musashi is in shock, but believes in her innocence, and tries to prove it. The Tendo poison plot is shared by the Beasts to the hostages. The rest of the Beasts reveal their faces and identities. "Sheep and "Rabbit" demand Tendo as next to be "judged". At home, the mysterious man protects Yuko from being killed by Ayabe.
Musashi goes to Hyakushu Shrine, where the priest attacks him. Izumi, suspected of murder and removed from her post, returns thanks to Musashi, Honjo and Shima teaming up to find evidence proving her innocence. Musashi learns that Tendo ordered Kawagoe to kill Hamamatsu, an oppositor of the construction of the airport. She had also ordered payment to a witness to keep quiet. Musashi's new task: find the "Wildcat", the mastermind behind Tendo. Yuko and Emiri end up as the mystery man's hostages in the beasts' hideout, where he reveals his identity as the "Rat", one of them. He tells Yuko that someone he loved died because of her. Yamato tells Honjo that he was to gather information on the Wildcat for Saki from Kitami's secretary, who was in the same detention center as him. A first "Wildcat" is named: Tetsuo Mutsu, founder of Mutsu Construction, involved in the airport construction. A new "Wildcat" took his place after his death 10 years before. The hostages, headed by Kitami, capture Rumi Kakegawa, and demand Yuzuki to let them go. Niimi and his followers clash with Yuzuki. Izumi orders a team to go after Musashi, who has taken Tendo. Kitami, suspected to be the Wildcat, confirms it. However, Niimi finds information on a chip that counters it. Niimi blocks the Beast's channel with his own signal and demands Musashi to reveal what Yuko has done, threatening to kill her. Musashi learns that Yuko didn't attend Momoko Niimi, due to the hospital giving preference to someone else. As Musashi says this, Iwatsuki reveals herself as a beast. A small bomb goes off in police HQ. Musashi is now the next hostage: the headphone Musashi is wearing has a bomb. Police have to find the reason behind the disappearance of Kenichi Musashi. Something strange in the beasts' PC makes Yuzuki and Saki think there is a traitor within.
Kenichi Musashi's mental health was thought as his reason to stop working at City Hall. However investigation results were false. He was searching for evidence of Kitami's fraud, and was killed in front of Futaba, who was Kitami's secretary at the time. Futaba, who hid this from Saburo, also kept Junko Suruga, Kenichi's lover and the twin's pregnant mother, away from the family, supposedly to prevent her from getting involved. Junko, forced to raise the girls by herself, got involved in bad dealings, and left the girls alone. Yuzuki and the others tried to escape from the airport during the pre-recorded stream, while Niimi was on his way there. Sena betrays Niimi by going to Naoki Tamba, enraging Niimi. Five beasts are captured by the police. Saki is held by Niimi, who is pursued by Yuzuki.
Sena tells Musashi, Niimi's plans. Niimi went to the Yokohama Bayside Hotel, where the airport's Promotion Council general meeting was being held, planning to blow up himself, the other renegade beasts and the hostages, taking everyone with them. Shima, helped by Iwatsuki, blocks Niimi's broadcast. Yuzuki shoots Niimi. Musashi stops Futaba, who says she is the Wildcat, from killing herself. At the end of the episode, a free Yamato appears on a rooftop.

Story

Saburo Musashi transferred to the Police's BCCT section. A hostage incident in a passenger bus. Though Musashi successfully saves the hostages, a bomb carried by the hijacker explodes, and he barely escapes. On another day, Musashi, Sakura Izumi, An Honjo and Yuji Ibuki, his brother-in-law, are at a TV station, where coverage of the elections take place. The candidates have received death threats. One wears an Ayakashi mask. Musashi goes searching for Ibuki, who is nowhere to be found, when a bomb goes off, trapping Musashi in the explosion. The masked team sends out jamming signals and overrides the system, effectively trapping everyone in the station, including Yuko Musashi, Saburo Musashi's wife, who supervises a medical drama, and their daughter Emiri, who finds and is protected by Musashi. Yuko, chased by members of the masked team, finds Izumi and remains by her side. Musashi and Izumi eventually meet and try to get Yuko and Emiri out through the air vent. Ibuki was taken to an abandoned building. In front of him, Koichi Yamato, with his oni mask, appears. Yamato asks Ibuki to kidnap someone, and Ibuki accepts. A police team arrives where Ibuki was held, but he is no longer there. However, there are two burned corpses. Musashi and the others are caught in the middle of a fight with the Ayakashi. Izumi steps between him and his attacker and gets hit by a bullet. Musashi holds a bleeding Izumi in his arms.
Musashi leaves Izumi with Yuko, and takes Emiri to an air duct, giving her a phone for the police. He returns to where Yuko is, but Tengu and Gashadokuro, who had followed him, are there. The Ayakashi take them and Izumi to the main studio with all the hostages, of whom they pick 13, letting the others go. Musashi, wearing the station's mascot suit, is let go, but with a "bomb" on his back. The bomb was a "joke", as a messsage coming out of it said. Yuko operates on Izumi, while the police find on one of the corpses a QR code that links them to the studio. Members of the News Fact team are forced to prepare to broadcast. Honjo, in charge at HQ, finds how to infiltrate the studio, unbeknownst that the premises were under CCTV surveillance. The first of the Ayakashi's victims, Ryutaro Mikawa, a soccer coach, candidate for governor, is held over a hot water bath, its temperature rising every minute. Musashi, in HQ, is to find his "darkness". Somewhere else, Ibuki drives Yamato to a dry cleaners. The person he is to kidnap is there, but Ibuki betrays Yamato by telling the man he is in danger. Yamato stuns the man, and warns Ibuki not to try that again. The police identify Fukue, the one who kidnapped Ibuki, and Musashi goes after him. Tengu and Gashadokuro take their masks off, after the first reads information on Yamato. They were who helped Yamato when he escaped. After demanding to know Ibuki's whereabouts, Musashi picks up a fox-stamped paper used for Kokkuri dropped by Fukue, then looks up as a rebar starts falling on them.
Fukue was a staff member of the coaching team of which Mikawa was the head coach. Mikawa had physically abused Reo Tsukumi, a student under him. "Amabie", reveals to be his mother, a pharmacy attendant resentful because Mikawa was the cause of her son's death. When Shima investigates who she is, what he gathers includes a security camera's footage that shows a blurred image. Shima then adjusts the image, that shows Yamato. One of the "Ayakashi", Gashadokuro, has been stabbed, and others who were with her went to look for Yuko to save her. Somewhere else, Yamato kidnaps the cleaners' owner and his daughter. Musashi, having to solve the Ayakashi's clue, hidden in a box, is stung and poisoned by the mechanical insect inside it.
Musashi, life count at 90 minutes due to the poison, and in a room with a bomb on the door, continues investigating, while Honjo commands the team in HQ. Governor Oshiba is put under a tub with 70 kilos of content that he has to hold with a rope, or else it will fall and crush him. Yuko operates on Gashadokuro. Ibuki is targeted by Masaki and his daughter. Masaki tells him that Yamato is the "Noppera-bō" of the underworld. During the Ayakashi's broadcast, Kasa-obake uncovers himself. Oshiba had killed his wife, who tried to accuse him of collusion with a construction company. It was also learned that director Hinode was trying to hide Oshiba's crimes through manipulation of news information. The people in 2 related cases whose images were blurred were actually the same person, someone who Hinode knew from college. The Ayakashi who were seeking revenge this time were "Bakeneko" and "Kappa". Oshiba is in a room. Musashi, having been given the antidote, goes there and demands information. Oshiba tells him he doesn't know who is responsible, but that there is a puppeteer controling everything. Oshiba is on a chair that shocks him, and that has a bomb underneath.
Musashi has to investigate Hinode. Honjo orders Shima to investigate anyone who could have infiltrated the police when Yashiro says there is no suspect of Oshiba's electrocution. Meanwhile, the hostages talk among themselves about how Hannya has special considerations for Yuko. Kappa and Bakeneko are in charge of the next "case": Hinode is put in front of a "pie–throwing bazooka" that throws cream and nails. 312 cases of false information generated by Hinode in his 10 years on News Fact, one of them was the death of Kunimitsu Takatsu, a Teito Daily social affairs reporter, who died by jumping into a moving fire truck and being dragged by a spike tire. One week before his death, News Fact aired the news of a peeping Tom in a university's woman's dormitory that hadn't been caught. The suspect's image was Takatsu, and comments started flooding SNS. Musashi's investigation takes him to Sakate, an actor hired by Hinode. Hinode was revealed as the voyeur. Kappa and Bakeneko uncover themselves. They are Takatsu's children. Hinode also had a hidden video of Izumi, planning to use it if she had died. All the hostages, except Yuko, are taken to a sealed room. Somewhere else, Yamato and Ibuki are being held captive by the Noppera-bo. They are rescued by someone wearing a Wanyudo mask. Yamato and Ibuki talk about the chip implanted in Ibuki, that it is not a bomb but a GPS, that is how they were found. Wanyudo finds some files in the Noppera-bo's computers. One of them is marked Kamaitachi. Yamato offered Ibuki the answers he needed, if he joined Yamato and the others. This was 3 months before the capture of the station. Hannya reveals, surprising Yuko and Musashi, as it was Yuko's brother.
Musashi has 2 hours to find the reason why Ibuki became Hannya. The 6 hostages only have 5 masks against the gas that could be liberated in the room. Musashi thinks about what could be the reason, and concentrates on the Kamaitachi incident, occurred 5 years before. In a flashback, more of the relationship between Yamato, the Ayakashi and Ibuki is revealed. Not one trusted Ibuki, who was tested by Tengu with Russian roulette. Yamato told the group to use guns as a way to obtain results, without killing anyone. The day of the occupation, Ibuki faked being kidnapped to deceive the police. Musashi and Amakusa go to the Noppera-bo HQ and find the information on the Kamaitachi incident. Amakusa pulls a gun on Musashi after seeing an email sent by the Noppera-bo to the police. Almost missing the broadcast, Musashi links with Ibuki/Hannya to answer. Musashi tells the truth about Ibuki's girlfriend and Yashiro's involvement. Ibuki's girlfriend, Fuuka Kozu, was accused of killing news reporter Mitsuru Amuro. Yashiro asked Noppera-bo to cover up the case, and make Fuuka the culprit. Musashi's fault was having arrested Fuuka without any proof. Yashiro had also instructed Amakusa to arrest Musashi, since he was the culprit in the Kamaitachi case. Ibuki lets the gas fill the room to prove the falsehood of Shikine, who, after "sacrificing" himself for the others, fights for a mask. A new broadcast starts. Yamato is chained inside a freezer. Musashi is reminded of Emiri being chained inside a freezer truck.
