- Magnificent Bastard: Hani Satoru, having lost his fiance in the infamous Shogi Murder Case, would do anything to find the killer, arranging a massive shogi tournament to lure them in and ruthlessly interrogating those connected to the case. As the man in charge, Satoru rigged the tournament to observe potential suspects to identify if they match the killer's profile. Setting his sights on the Sole Survivor of the murders, Shion Yakushiji, he aggressively confronts her to find out more information, going so far as to manipulate her loved ones and even trying to drive her into a mental breakdown. Realizing Shion's innocence and later figuring out the killer's identity from Shion, Satoru went to arrange the arrest, gathering the evidence even if it meant trespassing and letting Shion be near the dangerous killer, all so he could put an end to the murder once and for all and find peace in himself.
