==Summary==
In the wake of the World War III, the Party of Words had taken over the government and established the new order in Japan, based on the rap battles with Hypnosis Mics. 
After the brief confrontation with the street thugs, Ichiro returns home to find the letter from Chuuoku with an invitation to participate in the Division Rap Battle. Being solo, upon the disbandment of The Dirty Dawg, Ichiro considers forming a new team before being interrupted by Jiro and Saburo. Both of them wants to join Ichiro's team s they fight each other, until Ichiro stops them by saying that he won't let either of them join, since rap battles are too dangerous for them.
However, Jiro and Saburo are still insisting on at least thinking to let them join. Ichiro gives up and passes them the jobs he received from Ramuda Amemura and Jakurai Jinguji, noting that he might consider it if they succeed. 
Jiro gets a job from Jakurai: track down the woman who is stalking Hifumi Izanami. After getting an info about Hifumi, Jiro arrives to Shinjuku to meet with Urumi Asogi to ask her about the stalker's whereabouts. Urumi lets Jiro know that she knows about the connection between Hifumi, Jakurai and Ichiro and passes the information about the stalker to him. Jiro arrives at the hotel where she encounters the stalker but he manages to escape.
Saburo gets a job from Ramuda: getting all possible information about Gentaro Yumeno. With the help of his contact, Saburo manages to hack into the database website, only to realize that it was a government database "The Plunderer". Saburo compiles all the data on Gentaro he could find and arranges a meeting with his editor to confirm that the info is accurate. Saburo meets with Rei Amayado who poses as Gentaro's editor and confirms Saburo's information.
After Saburo left, Rei receives a call from Otome Tohoten who reprimands Rei of his willful actions to which Rei replies that he didn't disclose the sensitive information about Gentaro to him. Otome says that she understands the reason why Rei wanted to meet with Saburo but asks not to act so willfully again, however, Rei clearly has his own plans on that matter.
