Baoh Chapter 4

Evil Beast Martin (凶獣マーチン) is the fourth chapter of Baoh the Visitor. The chapter was originally published in WSJ in two parts as Evil Beast Martin (凶獣マーチン) and Artificial Evolution (人工進化).

Summary
Ikuro senses an assassin, who reveals himself as a beastmaster commanding a heavily modfied giant mandrill named Martin. Due to its strength and many weapons hidden inside his body, Martin is more than a match for Baoh. Sumire, having sensed that Ikuro's humanity is still intact inside of Baoh, tries to stop the assassin from controlling Martin, only to be hurt. Enraged, Baoh finally overpowers Martin and kills both the beast and his master, healing and turning back into Ikuro.
