Kumehachi remembers Tanbei as a boss who abides by the three articles of a true thief. Heizo took Kumehachi’s word and ordered him to find the real Tanbei.

Heizo finds out about the continuous incidents happening at the Kakunosuke Hattori residence and as he heads out, he reunites with Samanosuke Kishii.Hearing that the evil Kakunosuke is scheming a robbery, he surrounds the estate and arrests the clan.

He admired Heizo’s ability and character and approached him with the idea to rob the estate of the notorious Ichigoro Masuya.On the day of the burglary, they escape with the cashbox.

Arson Theft Control struggled to investigate Gohei Ishikawa, a member of a notorious clan led by Shinbei the Viper. As a child, he was abused by his step-father. While Heizo was in Kyoto, the abuse escalated and led to him stabbing his step-father to death. He ran away from Edo and resented Onihei for the incident.

Heizo realized his pipe, a valuable keep-sake of his father, was gone. After patrolling the city, he stepped into a boat where Tomogoro, the boatman was smoking with the very pipe that was stolen. Tomogoro proudly revealed how he stole Heizo’s pipe to frustrate the feared “Onihei” of Edo.(

Back in the day when young Heizo used to call himself Tetsusaburo, a skilled man named Jyubei Matsuoka entered the Takasugi Dojo during his lessons. Later, Heizo returns home where his father’s legal wife, Hatsu, calls him an illegitimate child. Dispirited, Heizo accepts an assignment to rob with his best friend, Samanosuke.

Wasuke of Dojo returns to Asakusa and reunites with Magokichi. His son Isotaro was Wasuke’s biological child. But Isotaro took his own life after his boss at Ozuya framed him for a crime.

While Heizo was out, Hisae received a letter which read, “Tomorrow at four, at tea shop Yoshinoya by the Gokokuji gates…” The sender was the man of the past, Kanshiro Kondo. Hisae goes to the place alone. Kanshiro tells her, “don’t be surprised when you get back.”

Koyanagi saved a woman from throwing herself along with her child in the water. They were the wife and child of Matahachi of Shishidome who was arrested by Koyanagi. Koyanagi was frustrated that he couldn’t catch Monzaburo of Amabata and lets Matahachi out with his family in exchange for information on Monzaburo’s whereabouts.

A robbery at Shop Yamadaya left 17 people dead. From the “Kitsunebi” note left at the scene, it was clear that it was by the Kitsunebi clan. However, its leader has passed and his successor is a former lover of Omasa. As a former member of Kitsunebi, Omasa suspects that they were framed by a criminal.
