Tokko

Ranmaru Shindo, five years after surviving the tragic Machida massacre, graduates from the Special Mobile Investigation Troops First Division training academy after he was recruited into the police force as a patrolman since the two Shindo siblings have joined the police force as part of moving on from what happened in Machida. During his transfer to the Shibuya precient, he encounters the red-haired woman in a police uniform who had been the sole cause of his nightmares and two officers, who are said to be elite officers from the TOKKO division. Ranmaru, with his friend and partner Ichiro Hanazono, investigate their first case of homicide with their superior Kaoru Kunikida after being indoctrinated into TOKKI when mysterious people began to attack the investigation team and their patrolman escorts with brute strength. It appeared that their sheer strength was about to defeat them for good.

Being cornered by strange men with brute strength, Ranmaru and Ichiro were about to be killed when the same red-haired girl and her comrades rush in to save them by killing the suspects with their swords and daggers. They reveal themselves to be from the TOKKO division after they eliminate the strange-looking larvae from the decapitated bodies and their forensic teams arrived. The red-haired woman hints to Ranmaru that she was one of the former tenants from the same apartment building where the Shindo siblings once lived in. During an investigation done by Kunikida and his colleague, Shogo Muramasa, on what earlier, they discover that the Machida massacre may have been covered up by those from TOKKO and by the Public Security Investigation Agency (PSIA), citing undocumented reports of a demonic killer in one of the strange incidents in Kameida.

With the recent attacks on police officers by the possessed human-like zombies and Ranmaru's near fatal death from one of them a few days ago, he began to reflect about what happened from his first day of duty as a TOKKO detective and on the Machida massacre, especially on the mysterious tattoo that appeared on his right arm. Concerned about where it came from and how it showed up, Saya took him to a nearby police hospital to be checked up on. While waiting for the results of his checkup, Ranmaru sneaks inside a PSIA-guarded hospital ward that housed Sakura's younger brother, who was almost a victim in the Machida incident. Later on, Phantom-controlled larvas infiltrated the hospital and possessed some of the hospital's medical personnel to assassinate Saya. Even though Ranmaru tried to protect her by firing her revolver on the possessed humans, Sakura came to the rescue and killed them.
