Ninja Kamui 05

S1.E1: Episode 5

Higan misses his chance to enter and Zai warns him that he has merely delayed his death before turning back into AUZA City. Elsewhere in a ghost town, Mike meets up with a former AUZA employee named Jason Cardenas who turns out to have insider knowledge into accessing AUZA's servers. In the city, the clan's top brass decide to willingly let Higan in to directly confront him and plan a timed fireworks festival to distract the city's population. Mike and Jason successfully hack into AUZA's servers and uncover a list of fake identities being used to plant operatives before suddenly being denied access. After being cornered by mercenaries the two manage to escape the location by car but are chased down, eventually crashing off the side of the road. In the city, Higan slashes down hordes of ninjas and mercenaries before confronting four top brass ninjas donning armor suits. Higan attempts to directly confront Yamaji, but the four brass ninjas beat him around even after Higan attempts his secret art. Laying defeated on the ground, Higan is about to be beheaded by Zai before one of the brass ninjas rescues him and escapes.
