■”I’ve always wanted to fight you seriously” (first time)
The Sunday drama “ACMA:GAME” currently being broadcast on Nippon Television will enter a new chapter “Akuma Tournament” from episode 5, which will be broadcast on May 5th.
In the fourth episode aired on April 28th, with the help of Yuki Manabe (Kotone Furukawa) and Senya Uesugi (Ryo Ryusei), Nagakute (Ren Kiriyama), a former doctor and member of the mysterious organization “Gungunir” Terutomo Oda (Shotaro Mamiya) has won. Around the same time Terutomo decides to fight Gungnir once again and decides to participate in the Akuma Game Tournament, Hatsu Saito (Tanaka Itsuki), who is in despair after his company is forced into bankruptcy, sees a suspiciously glowing object in front of him. It appeared, and it was a curtain that foreshadowed a turbulent development.
In episode 5, Terutomo receives an invitation from Gungnir to the Akuma Game Tournament as he collects the “Devil’s Key” to avenge his father’s enemies. If he wins, he will get the “Devil’s Key” and will be able to get closer to the man who killed his father, Shushinen (Yukietsu Ozawa). Terutomo announces his participation along with Senya, but he can’t believe his eyes when he sees his rivals gathered at the venue. Among the fierce men covered in desire, the first appearance of my best friend…!
After losing his company, Hajime obtains the “Devil’s Key” in despair. “I’ve always wanted to fight you seriously,” says Hajime, eager to face Terutomo. “I’ve changed. With this guy (the devil’s key) in my hand.” Terutomo is at a loss for words when he sees her attitude for the first time, as if he has changed as a person…
The first round of the tournament begins as soon as the two are separated. Terutomo’s partner is the idol Murasaki Shikibu (Rina Arashi). His first partner is psychologist Shunichiro Date (Shodai Fukuyama). Meanwhile, Sakuya’s opponent will be announced later…
An akuma game tournament where the winner can take all the “devil keys” from all participants. There is only one rule: “The loser must entrust his life to the winner.” Terutomo and Hatsu risk their lives to take on their fateful first battle.
