With Tabata's shocking appearance in the last chapter, Ogami swore to turn him into ashes. Sakura tried to prevent this massive murder; however, she was stopped by a desperate victim. The victim described his son was cut up and sold to someone else, and begged Ogami to kill the enemies. Toki latter described the elements that make a hero to Sakura. "Is Hero of Justice a hero because he kills bad guys?" I found that point particular interesting and profound. Could killing be justified as justice or it is just a massive slaughter?

There we came to face the psycho body guards. They claimed themselves as surgens and excellent assassins. They cannot even remember how many people they killed. The thing that shocked me right after their appearance was that Ogami actually remember how many people he has killed. The expression the guards were so helpless as Ogami used his ability on them. It created the irony of the guards crying for help instead. The effort the author put into the plot really did intrigue me.

Now with the body guards down, Ogami finished the patient's life. It might be seemed as cruel, but it was a relief to him as we saw his final appreciation. It was the part that we get more into Ogami's character. I sensed the sadness behind his back and grew pity of the patient. It was definitely one a meaningful scene.

It was time for the judgement of Tabata; however it was interrupted with Tabata's daughter's appearance. The mood of the scene suddenly changed, especially with Ogami's expression. What would this bring to the situation?

The battle continued! This chapter really impressed me with Toki's moves. He showed a reasonable level of concerning Sakura's safety, but he obviously still remained to be seemed as a delinquent. His sense of judgement had gave into Sakura's influence even though Sakura was trying to protect the enemies' lives. It is good to a kind hearted character sometimes in mangas. In this case, Sakura's attitude was successful; she introduced a lot of humour into an intense story plot line like this one.

In this alliance, we have three completely different characters caring different judgments and attitudes. Toki, Ogami, Sakura often found themselves arguing each others; however, at this stage, it somehow created a balance between them.

The most trilling discovery that we found in this chapter is Toki's power. As we craving for the answer of his supernatural ability, we found out that his a magnetism-controlling Code: Breaker. His ability allowed him to control any metals including the enemies' bullets. Toki easily wiped out enemy force within a period of seconds. This of course, leads to Toki and Ogami's argument about who is the stronger one. Both of the refused to gave in.

Ogami and Toki's conflict ended with Ogami burnt out Toki's cigarette. At this point, it is pretty clear that Toki's power is stronger than Ogami's. I found that it is particular interesting because usually in manga, the plot line is more centralize in the the protagonist, in this case Ogami. I personally think Kamijyo, the author, is trying to have multi-character revolving around the main character and act as a catalyst toward Ogami's growth. At any rate, the tension between Ogami and Toki continued with both side would not back down.

As the group enters the enemy's basement, we found out that Tabata, the rutten politician, was trading human organs as his business. These organs are not only from adults, but also from innocent children. These illegal organs were from innocent people. As these people were targeted and captured, their organs would be taken away from them and these people would disappear. Those organs were again resold in heavy price to poor people who are in need of them. This the point that Ogmi said that Tabata is one of the many people who should die. What would happend between the battle between justice and evil?

This chapter of Code: Breaker began with Toki saying that Ogami killed his parents. This is a dramatic scene that we discovered Ogami's personal background, and questioned the reason why Ogami became a Code: Breaker. Nevertheless, we also found a strong resemblance between Toki and Fujwara Senpai, one of the Sakura's senior friend, especially when we saw the Toki touches Sakura's breasts. Another amazing fact that we found out that Toki went to the Heisigakuin High, where only the rich and the top students study. What is Toki's true identity?

When we going more in to the story, we gradually understood Toki's character and his power, and we all laugh at the joke on the world class iron door blender champion. He was able blend inches thick metal door and immediately freeze the furious hounds. This stunned us about how much Toki can do with his ability.

Ogami and Toki obviously were not getting very well as we expecting at the beginning. Both of them are getting on each others' bad side. What will be happening now with the argument unresolved?

The mysterious Code: Breaker series continued with Sakura following secretly below Ogami on his mission request. This is the point that I found a level of interest because Ogami walked straight into the front door of National Diet Building. It raises my curiosity of the political and social status of a Code: Breaker. On the other hand, what could his mission be if Ogami is invited into the highest agency of nation power?

Apparently there are six Code: Breakers as the Ogami's superiors described. Code: Breakers are even given special privileges to use their power to judges the evils. However, Ogami doesn't seem to get along with these people. He even says the Code: Breakers are the six demons bounded by collars. It is the point where I found Ogami doesn't seem to please his job.

After Ogami and his supervisors' interesting conversation, Ogami and the other Code: Breaker, Toki, finally met. Toki is the fourth Code: Breaker and seems to be a lot stronger than Ogami. It is pretty obvious that Toki and Ogami don't get along and their encounter doesn't seem pleasant either. At this point, we only knows that they are going of a group mission of bring evil to justice. What could Toki and Ogami's mission be?
