SPEED is the fourth episode of Akudama Drive.
Synopsis
The Shinkansen speeds ahead, hurtling the crew towards certain death. As they race against time to reach the vault, Executioners show up to derail their plans.
History
On their way to complete their mission, the Akudama are attacked by the two Executioners again. The Courier and Brawler face them but are overpowered. The Doctor, Cutthroat and Hoodlum assist them while the Swindler and Hacker work alongside the Black Cat on their original objective. Once they finally reach the last carriage, the Black Cat disintegrates into ash, leaving behind a special seal required to unlock the vault. When they open the vault, the Akudama find two children inside, one of the two revealing himself to be the person in control of the Black Cat.
