Now that Sumio finally found chief jailer Kuroiwa, how is he going to retrieve the ticket?
The
chapter opens with chief jailer Kuroiwa seeing the ticket itself from his
notebook. Not knowing what it is, he attempted to rip it off but was stopped by
Mitarai who alarmed Kuroiwa of the prisoners on the loose. Kuroiwa immediately
ordered Mitarai of what he has to do but Sumio interfered. Using his telepathy,
he talked to Mitarai pretending that he’s Kuroiwa and told him not to seal the
south gate. Since Mitarai didn’t closed the south gate, Kuroiwa was pissed off that’s
why he left his office and searched for Mitarai. He unknowingly left his
notebook behind which gave Sumio the opportunity to take the ticket inside it.
Yet other than the ticket, Sumio was able to find something more. After taking
the ticket, Kuroiwa unexpectedly went back to the office to retrieve his
notebook yet he found it missing on the table. In rage, thinking that an
escaped prisoner took his notebook, he threatened Sumio who’s thinking of letting
himself be seen since he has nowhere to go to. After Sumio stood up to run, a
prisoner showed up and gave Kuroiwa a good punch on the face. The prisoner
found Sumio but it seems that Sumio has a plan of his own.
With
five minutes to go, a prisoner who’s suppose to find Sumio was in panic and
asked Akame if there’s any other way to get out. Not caring about the
prisoners, Akame immediately took down the prisoner who was begging him for
another way out. The prisoners who felt betrayed with what he did were set in
rage. Until minutes later, all the cells suddenly opened with Sumio being
accompanied by the prisoners themselves. Sumio declared that he has the master
key for the entire prison. He bargained that if the prisoners side with him, he
will give them the key which will lead to their freedom. Hearing this, the
prisoners surrounded Akame. As for Akame, knowing that he is defeated, he fell
down on his knees and Sumio took the ticket from his hand.
After
Sumio took Akame’s ticket, Akame walked out and wandered into a dark room
cursing Sumio. He heard someone say something from the dark and out of nowhere,
he felt as if his heart’s being ripped out. Next thing he knows, he’s seating
in a tightly sealed and obviously dangerous chair inside a prison cell. As
Kuroiwa woke up angered by the prisoners, he triggered the set up of Kirio’s
prison which now Akame is in. Now that Kirio is out of the prison and with that
seemingly-ready-to-hunt-Sumio attitude, what is he up to?
This
chapter had a very interesting turn of events but parting from that, I am
actually a bit disappointed with this chapter. Knowing that Akame is actually
the cannibal, I was expecting something big in defeating him. Though the part
where Kirio comes in and exchange places with him was pretty good but in terms
of Sumio defeating him, I was disappointed.
Anyway,
this chapter seems to mark the end of Akame Tsutomu, the so-called cannibal.
Now that Sumio has both tickets, Sumio and the president are off to go to the
next station knowing that the cannibal is already gone for good. Now that the
cannibal is out of the game, the twist that just came in is Kirio. This chapter
just gave everyone the idea that Kirio can actually exchange places with
someone outside the prison cell, why didn’t he do so earlier? Anyway, with what
he showed at the last page of the chapter, is he out to stop Sumio from heading
to the next station? Is the issue about the cannibal actually over?
