The identity of the mysterious editor remains unknown.

The boss profusely apologizes after he realizes he got Rohan's name wrong while his co-worker claims that he knew who Rohan was. They tell Rohan that while it's possible to buy the land for the range he desired, there's a resort development company that is pestering the landowner into making a deal, so they were concerned that Rohan would resell the land for profit after the sale. Rohan gets annoyed from their claims and uses Heaven's Door on them before they can leave. He writes a command that the boss will make an honest deal with Rohan.

Clinging Yokai
DescriptionGallery
This yokai is the main antagonist of the fifth episode of the Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan Drama. The character is heavily inspired by the Stand Cheap Trick from Diamond is Unbreakable in that it is invisible to all but its current victim, clings to one victim's back, and kills the victim as soon as someone sees their back and then latches onto whoever saw the back. Unlike in the original manga, the yokai takes on the appearance of its previous victim with altered features such as hair color, and extra accessories (like an extra tie in Masazo Kinoto's case).
It shares the same fate as its inspiration, being taken away from Rohan by malicious spirits.

Deliveryman (From Behind)
