Six months have passed since Boshu disappeared from Shinjuku. Tetsuya has become known as Kid Tetsu, the feared mahjong pro. A young man called Danchi has been following him everywhere he goes.

As was expected, Innami panicked and his game crumbled into pieces. But then, amidst his desperation, a feint, creepy grin started rising to his face…
Tetsuya used black plastic tiles to counter Innami’s All-Seeing Eye, and proceeded to dominate the first game. In the second game, Innami finally broke his creepy silence.

Going into the third and last game, the score was even. Innami was able to see all the tiles in Tetsuya's hand, and was convinced that he will win the game. But then, Tetsuya took advantage of Innami being a lefty, and managed to trap him with a daisangen!
