Trickster

Hanasaki vom Jungendetektivklub versucht, einen Hund einzufangen. Das scheint leichter gesagt als getan, vor allem als er auf der Jagd einen seltsamen Jungen trifft, der eine ganz besondere Fähigkeit zu besitzen scheint.

Eine junge Frau beauftragt die Detektei damit, ihren Freund zu untersuchen. Dieser scheint Drohbriefe anzufertigen, doch das Ziel ist unbekannt. Hinter der Sache scheint mehr zu stecken.

Die Akechi-Detektei wird mit der Suche nach einem NEET beauftragt. Auch bei der Polizei gehen immer mehr Vermisstenmeldungen ein.

20 Gesichter ist zurück und schickt Akechi eine eindringliche Nachricht und Herausforderung. Kobayashi scheint währenddessen nicht sehr begeistert davon, den Detektiven zu helfen.

Die Suche in den Kanälen unter der Stadt geht weiter. Kobayashi und Inoue versuchen, ihrem Wassergefängnis zu entkommen, während Noro sich um die Kommunikation kümmern muss. Die Zeit läuft aus...

Hanasaki und Kobayashi gehen auf eigene Faust neue Fälle an, doch das gestaltet sich als schwieriger als erwartet. Kobayashi ist unzufrieden, weil Hanasaki ihn immer noch nicht töten kann.

Nao ist mit Akechi beim Essen und Karaoke und versucht, mehr über seine Vergangenheit herauszubekommen. Zur gleichen Zeit machen sich in den Nachrichten Gerüchte über Akechi breit.

Hanasaki sieht nach länger Zeit seinen Bruder Haru wieder. Dieser scheint ein eigenes Land gegründet zu haben und stellt sich gegen Japan. Akechi weigert sich währenddessen, zu helfen.

Kensuke is bewildered when Haruhiko invites him to live together, but Isuzu is negotiating with the police for three billion yen in exchange for the removal of the residents of the housing complex. Meanwhile, Nakamura requests the aid of Akechi and the Boy Detectives' Club in the case.

Nach dem Vorfall mit seinem Bruder ist Hanasaki außer sich. Akechi scheint davon fast unberührt und die Situation wird zum Pulverfass.

Hanasaki wurde von 20 Gesichter entführt und manipuliert. Akechi bricht alleine auf, um ihn zu retten.

Der Kampf von 20 Gesichter gegen den Detektivklub geht weiter. Alles dreht sich um Hanasaki, der immer mehr zu verzweifeln scheint.

Yamane Tasuku, a younger member of the Scientific Experiments Club alongside Ohtomo, is troubled by three things. The first is that Ohtomo picks on him too much. The second is that he's always left behind in conversations. The third and most troubling of all is that he doesn't know how to become a member of the Boy Detectives' Club. One day Yumeko approaches him, mistaking him for a member of...

After being out of touch for so long, Akechi calls the office. Kobayashi complains to him that Hanasaki is acting weird, and Akechi tells him, "do to him what he did to you." Then the Boy Detectives' Club receives an odd request: a death-row prisoner who's received a death threat has asked specifically for them to guard him when he's escorted to the district court. Inoue is reluctant, but Kob...

To escape the enemies targeting Fukiya, the death row prisoner they're guarding, the Boy Detectives' Club takes refuge in the abandoned building that Kobayashi had once been using as his base. They manage to hold their ground as they wait for a helicopter sent by Noro. In the meantime, Kobayashi has no choice but to play along with Fukiya's word association game, which causes his mental state...

Kobayashi is in extreme pain after taking a gunshot.Has the mysterious power that protected him disappeared? Inoue is stunned by Akechi's prediction. Perhaps Kobayashi actually wants to live? Hanasaki is shaken at the sight of Kobayashi at death's door. Akechi gives advice on how to save him, but then reminds him that he was the one who made Kobayashi want to live, and tells him to do somethi...

Inoue and the other detectives are disheartened after being told that the Boy Detectives' Club would be disbanded. The strange air around Kobayashi has returned and is working hard to heal his wound. Around the same time, Akechi is recalling his past with Twenty Faces. During a time of war, when Akechi was a mercenary, he and Twenty Faces came through many vicious battles together... but he w...

As he's resting to recover from his gunshot wound, Kobayashi has an odd dream in which he sees a woman in a bed and a man approaching her. He doesn't recognize them, but the dream gives him a strange headache. Meanwhile, Hide-chan makes contact with Hanasaki, inviting him to help them punish someone who's been posting damaging information online under a pseudonym. But Hanasaki refuses, so Hid...

Kobayashi, along with Inoue, searches for the place that he saw in his dream. Hanasaki and Hide-chan then show up and offer to help. Shortly after, Kobayashi has a flashback after seeing gingko trees lining their path, then takes off running toward an abandoned building. Meanwhile, the police catch Akechi on the security cameras breaking the fake Twenty Faces out of prison. The police suspect...

Miyanishi was shot to death by Nakamura. During her interrogation, Nakamura testifies that Twenty Faces is actually Akechi.

Akechi, stunned to learn that Nakamura was brainwashed by Twenty Faces, ends up captured by the special security force. Meanwhile, at the New Tokyo World Fair, the plane built to carry people to the stratosphere is involved in a catastrophic crash.

The Boy Detectives' Club arrives at the Space Expo. Hanasaki and Kobayashi board the shuttle for the craft in the sky that Twenty Faces uses as his base, where Akechi is being held captive, but the shuttle is blown up and the two of them are held in place by security robots. Inoue and the others face off against the special security force, but they're at a disadvantage. Just when they thought...

Hanasaki left Kobayashi behind and took off for Twenty Faces' hideout alone, planning to put an end to everything. But Kobayashi can't accept that, so he follows him... even though the aura surrounding him has already disappeared. Unaware of this, Hanasaki reaches the hideout and finds Akechi, but Twenty Faces also appears and warns him that the hideout will soon be destroyed. Hanasaki throws...
