The man pulling the strings of the latest Twenty Faces crime was Namikoshi, who everyone thought died three years ago. He starts talking about his junior high school days and how he came to start working on the formula with Akechi.

One morning, a junior-high student, Kobayashi, wakes up and finds himself in his classroom with his homeroom teacher’s body. In his hand is a murder weapon. A high-school detective, Akechi, is called in to assist the police to solve the case.

Zwei vows to give Ein a better future, but when the past catches up with them on the road, it’s clear his promise can only be kept through more bloodshed.

Inferno splinters after an explosion of murderous betrayal, and Zwei must choose between escaping his new reality or protecting wounded Ein. Either way, the puppets are cutting their strings.

Inferno’s manipulative ways are not reserved for enemies - the shady scheming often turns inward. With suspicion fueling mistrust between their masters, Ein and Zwei know they are but pawns in the crossfire.

Inferno sends Ein and Zwei on an incredibly orchestrated assassination spree. If the bloodbath goes as planned, the balance of power in the West Coast criminal underground will shift dramatically.

Inferno’s growing power leads to tension with a local mafia family. If an agreement over disputed turf can’t be reached, Zwei has been ordered to hit the rival boss where it hurts most - at home.

After executing a public assassination at a busy shopping mall, Ein and Zwei face hard questions about what they’ve become in the hands of Inferno.

It’s kill or be killed when Zwei’s training is put the test. He must hunt and eliminate a Navy Seal who has drawn the ire of Inferno.

Zwei and Ein engage Scythe’s squad of faceless assassins, but the first Phantom’s true target is the man she called master. With a life of freedom on the line, Ein takes aim - and Eren squeezes the trigger.

As Ein battles Shiga’s men outside the church, Zwei and Drei face each other in the darkness of the sanctuary. A chiming song from their past drifts through the air, and when it stops, one will die.

Three assassins - Zwei, Ein, and Drei - rush toward a final faceoff. Each knows bloodshed is inevitable, but none realize that their former master is sending a new batch of created killers to join the battle.

Zwei may be forced to give Drei the final showdown she craves when Mio’s life is put on the line. With the clock ticking, both Ein and Inferno move to put an end to the Phantom’s deadly game.

Zwei and Ein must gamble with a friend’s life to keep Drei at bay, but mafia politics might not be enough to keep the new Phantom from unleashing her murderous rage.

Drei could be the deadliest killer ever used by Inferno, but before she can truly take her place as Phantom, she must destroy Ein and Zwei. Fueled by hatred and pushed by Scythe, that’s just what she intends to do.

Two years have passed since Ein and Zwei escaped their murderous masters, but it only takes one bullet to shatter the illusion of freedom. An old friend arrives with a reminder: nobody ever really gets away.

With his life on the line, Zwei accepts his fate and begins his assassin training under Ein and learns more about his new masters - Inferno.

Zwei thinks Ein is the only person who understands his pain, but there’s another girl hurting just as much - and she’s all alone in the violent world that the Phantom left behind.

Ein is sent to kill Zwei, and she knows where to find him. With blades drawn, the Phantoms past and present prepare to die - but before the knife fight ends, each will find a reason to live.

Bodies stack up after Scythe reveals the deception perpetrated by Claudia and the Godo Family. Zwei’s prepared for Inferno to come gunning for him - but he fears Cal’s name is on the hit list too.
