Dead Mount Death Play episode 9 recap
Dead Mount Death Play episode 9, titled The Signpost, saw Polka read Iwanome's fortune, revealing that he bears a grievous scar from his past. When asked how he could heal his wounds, the pencil that Hosorogi possesses drew a symbol, which made Iwanome lose his temper.
He grabbed Polka by the collar and asked why he drew that symbol as it was a secret entrusted to him by Hosorogi when they worked together at the police department.
Polka replied to Iwanome that he merely showed the path and asked him to obey his own heart. Hearing this, Iwanome calmed down and left, giving Polka extra money for the trouble he had caused. Xiaoyu then decided to tail the two detectives and go to the bottom of the mystery.
After the fortune reading session, Iwanome and Arase went to a restaurant where the two talked about Iwanome losing control. Then the two went to meet with Lisa Kuraki.
Iwanome inquired her if she'd told Polka about Hosorogi's symbol as she had known him in the past. Lisa feigned ignorance and said she was only helping Polka to get close to a key figure in the Shinoyama Group.
The spirit of Hosorogi then revealed to Polka, Misaki, and Takumi that he used to be a police IA inspector when he was alive and that he knew Iwanome. Learning this, Polka asked him what he wrote on that paper, to which Hosorogi replied that if he was curious he would have to pay him 1 million yen for that information.
In the episode, Tena Sorimura aka Phantom Solitaire also settled on the theme for his comeback performance, deciding to use the symbol he'd found in the room that was set ablaze by the Fire-breathing Bug.
He went to the troublemaker Grocer for information regarding the symbol. Grocer gave him a free sample and said that he will have to get the rest by giving information of equal value.
On the day of the performance, Sorimura infiltrated the Shinjuku airspace with blimps, with all of them having the mysterious symbol painted on them. Polka recognized the symbol right away and revealed it to be the emblem of the fallen empire from his old world.
What to expect from episode 10? (speculative)
Dead Mount Death Play episode 10, titled The Emblem, will likely see Sorimura offering money to people for information regarding the organization affiliated with the symbol.
Gorcer will quote his price for the full information about the symbol as well and reveal that this information could change Sorimura's destiny. He'll also mention that this might also end up becoming a toxin and destroy his life.
The episode might also see Sorimura deciding to have his fortune read, which will put him in contact with Polka. Being smart and observant, he might also figure out that Polka has real supernatural powers. This information could be used by him to strike up a partnership with the necromancer.
