What's tokuryu mean?
They're freelance criminals. Toku being short for Tokumei (Anonymous) and Ryu for Ryudo (Fluid). Meaning they're essentially like air. No associated org to tie them back to, they often don't even know their teammates unlike Yakuza and criminal orgs of the past. They'll do whatever for the highest bidder or just for fun and be on their way. If they get caught, the likelihood of anyone important in the hiring organization getting caught is slim to none because there are (again) no breadcrumbs to trace back.

I don't really think that big dude is dead, right? You don't introduce a character with a flashback just to kill him off in like, 2 panels, right?
It's a very simple trick, you hype up a character just to introduce an unexpected new character who can kill them, to show they're as strong or much stronger than the guy who was MAYBE as strong as Yotaka

That's kinda lowkirkenuinely scary af - just minding your own business, get murdered by a syringe wielding kid doin' it for the lulz. ngl, I thought we were going to get some Nighthawk/Scarlet Bear sentimental team-up and hijinks.... noooope, just syringed him ded.

I bet this will end like that Samurai Jack episode. We follow 5 assassins plotting together to kill Jack, making an awesome plan together, and Jack effortlessly evades and wipes the floor with them. Though knowing Nighthawk, she might inadvertently crap herself doing it.

They were surprised about his reaction to the poison... like him foaming and just outright die. "but it should be painfree?"
meaning he did do something to himself first? like to put himself in a trance so the poison won't work so well?
they should at least check his pulse first before declaring him dead.
