Publicly, Kusabi arrested Kamui; however, as Kamui was actually killed, it is believed that Kusabi killed Kamui. Yet, Kusabi's personal version of the events maintain that Kusabi merely stood and watched as Kamui was killed by members of the Alliance, and had his [[silver eye]] stolen by [[Uminosuke Hachisuka]]. Regardless of the truth, Kusabi was promoted to the Security Department where he remained until 1990, when he became one of the founding members of the Heinous Crimes Unit. | ||
In February of 1991, Kusabi and [[Shigeo Ishikawa]] headed the "Running Off" case, and faced off against violent bank robbers. In November of 1992, [[Sawa Kobayakawa]] and Ishikawa were killed by the [[Tsubaki Syndicate]]. Kusabi and [[Kiyoshi Morikawa]] took revenge against the syndicate, and made Tsubaki himself take responsibility. In December of 1994, he met [[Sumio Kodai]], a new recruit to the Unit. They became very close partners and makeup the sub-Unit 2. In December of 1996, Kusabi and Morikawa headed the "Still Town" case, during which they closed off and cleaned areas that had devolved into slums. The two completely wiped out a group of young criminals. In July of 1998, Kusabi and Sumio investigated the death of a truck driver in the "Gas Kids" Exhaust Fume Serial Murder Case. | In February of 1991, Kusabi and [[Shigeo Ishikawa]] headed the "Running Off" case, and faced off against violent bank robbers.

[[Case 1 Decoyman|Two months on]] from the Cauliflower incident, Kusabi secretly meets his associate, [[Ryu Munakata]], at the [[Harakiri Batting Center]]. Munakata warns him that Kamui is going to "make a move". This ends up being metaphorically true, as although Kamui himself remained an empty shell, [[Ayame Shimohira]]'s actions reignited the idea of Kamui in the public eye of [[Ward 24]]. Kusabi helps investigate for part of this case, but is later given a paid vacation along with his wife by [[Shinji Kotobuki]], so he is absent for the conclusion. | [[Case 1 Decoyman|Two months on]] from the Cauliflower incident, Kusabi secretly meets his associate, [[Ryu Munakata]], at the [[Harakiri Batting Center]].

Kusabi spends [[Case 2 Spectrum|a while]] with Sumio doing a stakeout on [[Chairman Yukimura]]'s house, which pays off when it explodes in {{CL|3}}. Kusabi investigates into the motives with Akira and discovers that Sumio headed the operation; Kusabi arrests him, but continues to [[Case 4 Kamuidrome|regularly]] talk to him, seemingly informing him about the [[Shelter Kids Policy]] and the concepts of light and darkness. | Kusabi spends [[Case 2 Spectrum|a while]] with Sumio doing a stakeout on [[Chairman Yukimura]]'s house, which pays off when it explodes in {{CL|3}}.

During {{CL|5}}, Kusabi seems to act based off of lots of unknown information that he either has obtained or has had the whole time. Speaking with Shinji Kotobuki on the roof of the precinct, they come to some agreement about how to proceed, after which Kusabi shoots and kills him. Later on, Akira and [[Sakura Natsume]] encounter him in the [[IEDU Building]], where he tells them that he plans on "disappearing for a while". After this, [[Morichika Nakategawa]] says that should anyone locate Kusabi, they can kill him on site, suggesting that Kusabi is on the run from the law. Kusabi heads into the Ward 24's underground, where he shoots and kills [[Kiyoshi Morikawa]]. He meets up with Akira in the [[Shelter]] and explains lots of information about the Silver Case, Kamui and Ward 24. They journey together from the underground to the [[TV Tower]] and kill [[Nezu]]. | During {{CL|5}}, Kusabi seems to act based off of lots of unknown information that he either has obtained or has had the whole time.

Despite Nakategawa's order, Kusabi is shown peacefully chatting at a public cafe in {{CL|!}} and takes on more cases after the events of ''The Silver Case'', suggesting that he peacefully integrated back into the Heinous Crimes Unit. | Despite Nakategawa's order, Kusabi is shown peacefully chatting at a public cafe in {{CL|!}} and takes on more cases after the events of ''The Silver Case'', suggesting that he peacefully integrated back into the Heinous Crimes Unit. | ||
