Ep. 9: Yotaro invites Yakumo to perform rakugo in prison after his steadfast devotion
Aired on March 4, 2017
Yotaro remains unwaveringly loyal to Yakumo, inspired by the Shinigami concept he learned from him while incarcerated. This dedication prompts Yakumo to discuss rakugo and his impending death. Yotaro argues that Yakumo must perform rakugo again if he wishes to die in a theater, inviting him to stage a show inside the prison. Although Yakumo initially hesitates, he ultimately agrees to perform for the benefit of others.
