Ep. 10: Retsuko and Haida Confront Himuro's Corruption in a Dramatic Showdown

10

With assistance from Hyodo, Fenneko, Kabae, Ton, and Ton's wife, Retsuko infiltrates Haida's office to retrieve accounting data from a safe. Haida later questions Tadano about his bond with Retsuko, receiving reassurance of their platonic friendship. That evening, Ton escorts Haida to Retsuko's karaoke booth, where she urges him to cease manipulating records. Haida expresses his inferiority complex, but Retsuko asserts that no one should commit unethical acts to prove worth. The following day, Haida proposes halting their scheme to Himuro, who dismisses him as disposable. This prompts Haida to challenge Himuro to an arm-wrestling match, declaring himself an enemy. Retsuko aids Haida by unleashing a death metal growl that manifests as a laser beam, blasting both men through a window onto scaffolding. Consequently, Himuro and Haida resign, while the original president, Ton, and Kabae return. Haida gains self-confidence and admires Tadano during a date with Retsuko.
