After he and Xianming Lin assassinate Unoyama and his underlings, they head to Kim's apartment in Nishijin.
Saruwatari calls out to Kim in the parking garage of his apartment building. Kim responds rudely, but when Saruwatari confirms his identity and reveals his ninja sword, Kim pales and tries to escape. Saruwatari catches him by the neck, and when Kim falls to the ground, the killer stabs him through the heart. He sets a shuriken on the ground beside the body to sign his work and leaves for Unoyama's office.
When Banba and Lin arrive at Kim's apartment, a crowd of police and onlookers has formed around the building with a tape barricade set up. Banba spots Hironobu Shigematsu, who pulls them to the side and informs them of Kim's murder and ties to the mafia and tells them that a shuriken was found next to the body.
