When all hope seemed lost for the likes of Fukuzawa and Akiko, Edogawa Ranpo came to rescue them. He, alongside Edgar Allen Poe, overwrote the Bloodhounds’ plan and rescued Doppo Kunikida, Akiko Yosano, former member Katai Tayama, and agency’s leader Yukichi Fukuzawa from the military police.
Following that, Edogawa immediately took action to let the world know the truth. He went live on TV to tell people that the Five Deadly Omens had framed them. While the people refused to believe that, he told them about the page’s ability and how it forced people to not believe in the truth. While this led to Ranpo’s supposed arrest, he was able to attain some allies for the agency.
