Description:

In Aibou: Season 8, Inspector Sugishita Ukyo, the sharp-witted head of the Special Missions Division, returns to Japan from London. He is unexpectedly met at Narita Airport by Assistant Inspector Kanbe Takeru in his sports car. On their way home, Ukyo spots Metropolitan Police Department officers on motorcycles conducting a crackdown outside their jurisdiction in Chiba Prefecture. Intrigued and suspicious, Ukyo attempts to follow them, only to watch the motorcycle police vanish into thin air on a dead-end street. This impossible disappearance prompts Ukyo to launch a thorough investigation. The mystery intensifies when Onoda Koken, the Head of the National Police Agency's Secretariat, warns him of a major national security threat. Honda Atsuto, a notorious revolutionist and senior leader of the leftist radical group Red Canary, has secretly returned to Japan. Ukyo must now connect the dots between the phantom police officers and this dangerous fugitive to uncover a massive conspiracy.
