Brand New Animal
Giuliano Flip and Masaru Kusakabe pressure Gram Grandma to traffick the children to pay off the debt.

Later, Kusakabe and a few other mafia members are aiding Medical Center staff to destroy evidence before being thwarted by Michiru and Shirou.

At a boat dock, Giuliano Flip tortures and interrogates Kusakabe for the situation the other day. Kusakabe is later killed when Shirou intervenes, the rope Kusakabe is tied to is revealed to have a rock tied to the end, which Flip throws into the motor of a passing boat. Upon hearing that Nina Flip escaped to the mainland, Flip assembles a group of mafia members to wage war against the humans. Shirou stops him before it's too late.
