Recap of Episode 7
Raizo is still being haunted by images of his dead fiancée and father-in-law. Hana is worried about him, but Souji assures her he is fine. However, he, too, is worried about him.
A group of monks enters a nunnery at night. They are introduced to a group of male prostitutes by the head nun. It is revealed that the nunnery is a cover for an illegal gay brothel where young men are kidnapped and forced to work for the red-light district, often visited by corrupted monks, after they are introduced to opium.
A monk named Seiku is puzzled by the situation, but the other monks assure him. He chooses a man named Ichinojo but refuses to do anything. Ichinojo kisses him suddenly, telling him that the nuns usually are listening and if they find something wrong, Seiku will be forced to work in the same way.
Ichinojo tells Seiku that he was a samurai from a respected family but was kidnapped and poisoned by opium, which is how he ended up like that. He mentions biting into a gold coin to take revenge, but Seiku talks him out of it, telling him to join a temple instead.
After the monks leave, all the prostitutes are high with opium. Ichinojo tries to resist but is caught by the head nun, who forcibly injects opium into him directly.
Meanwhile, Liu is told that Hoenji temple is behind the opium operation.
The monks return the next night. Ichinojo, high with opium and, out of his sense, forces himself on Seiku. Seiku cries after seeing his condition, realizing he could not save him. Ichinojo bites into a gold coin.
Usui tells the group about the opium and prostitute operation run by the monks and high-end families. He tells him that since there is no one to regulate the opium currently, it’s flooding the market. They suspect Chinatown but are not sure. Raizo leaves to prepare for their mission, and Usui tells Soji to keep an eye on him.
Nio and Usui kills all the nuns with their techniques, but the head nun escapes. Teppa helps Raizo reach her with his bow. The nun pleads with Raizo, and he asks her to reveal all the information. While trying to run away, the nun is faced by Liu. Seeing each other at the same place, Raizo and Liu gets the wrong idea that the other is behind the situation.
Liu and Raizo trade blows, and Liu disarms Raizo with his martial arts. The nun runs away in the commotion but is killed by Souji’s card. Liu realizes that he is pit against three people now and runs away. Seiku is shown to be taking care of Ichinojo later, trying to nurse him back.
The administrator calls Isarizawa and Shishido for a meeting. Shishido bring up the subject of bitten gold. Isarizawa tries to dismiss it as just a rumor, but Shishido shows one of Sakata’s bloody socks, telling the administrator that his death could be linked to the Revengers.
The administrator orders Isarizawa to look into it.
Outside, Isarizawa warns Shishido to be happy that he took care of Sakata’s mess when he was dealing opium, but Shishido tells him that he may be the one in trouble if the opium supply is stopped, since he raised to ranks due to his contribution in handling opium crime. Isarizawa asks if he is involved with opium, but Shishido dodges the question.
