Sanji Yaguchi, a boxer turned Posthuman, is spotted in Fukuoka killing a bureaucrat with his fist alone. Purin compiles data suggesting that Sanji has been serially murdering immigrants and refugees linked to Tokyo reconstruction projects. Tate's father-in-law, who runs the company profiting from the reconstruction, is soon killed in a similar manner. Tate decides to lure Sanji out by making himself the bait. Motoko and Batou work together to take down Sanji. Motoko wonders why Sanji didn't immediately attack Tate, as John Smith takes Sanji into his custody.
