Following Kondo’s advice, Akira goes to track down the other Selecao members. He eventually manages to find Selecao’s No. V, Hajime Hiura who is an influential brain surgeon. Hiura at first suspects Akira to be the Supporter, the Selecao tasked to observe the other Selecao members and to punish them if they break any of the rules. After being assured Akira is not the Supporter, Hiura tells him about Selecao. It is an organization run by Mr. Outside, an enigmatic individual who chose twelve individuals, and gave them ten billion yen each with the condition to use the money to save Japan. If the Selecao members refuse, run out of money, or act in a manner unbecoming of a “messiah”, then they are to be eliminated by the Supporter. Shortly after Akira leaves, Hiura is murdered by the Supporter since he had run out of money.
Thoughts
- What was that whole Johnny scene? Was that a part of Akira’s memories, which he forgot? Akira acted as if he was happy to see all his “Johnnies”, and in the next few seconds, he was calling the “Johnnies” useless bastards.
- I’m still confused about Ohsugi’s relation to Saki. Is he her boyfriend? Or does Uhsugi just have unrequitted love for Saki? Because Saki didn’t act as if she had a boyfriend around Akira; she kept saying she was still waiting for her prince.
- I did get my one confusion clarified though; Akira is the Supporter, not Juiz. So I guess this means that Akira gets to kill the other Selecao who have completely drained their balances on the Noblesse Oblige. But when Detective Kondo stole Akira’s Noblesse, Kondo mentioned that Akira’s life would end, and I’m assuming Kondo was talking about the “Supporter killing the Selecao” drift. And there’s proof that Akira hasn’t been spending his “money” for the sake of the nation, just for his own personal needs, but he hasn’t been killed by the Supporter yet. Because he is the Supporter. I think.
