At night, she is both a professional thief, working for crime lord Obake, and a concerned sister for Aiya, who knows her illegal lifestyle. However, beneath her unscrupulous exterior, she is actually a good person at heart, and she longs to find Akinobu, who has since gone missing after their argument. She also wants a life of freedom with Aiya, wanting to raise her without being a criminal. During a meeting with Obake after a successful robbery, Akari meets his two henchman, Yokai and Globby, for the first time. Obake brings up a case concerning an American who went missing several years ago and expresses her concern about what happened to him. As Akari leaves, she begins to wonder if Oliver is still alive. Encouraged by Aiya, Akari defies Obake's commands to stand down and starts an investigation with the secret approval of Adam Michaelson, a detective.

Akari finally allows herself to be emotional and she breaks down into tears, questioning her life choices. Aiya comforts her and Globby reassuringly says "Obake lied to you, kid. Don't blame yourself."

Oliver explains that Obake is not the true name of the crime lord Yokai works for; he used to be called Charley Graham, VI, the disgraced son of a wealthy businessman who had falsely believed Obake was a fraud. Obake had killed his father in a fit of rage and then exiled his entire family in retaliation for wronging him. Oliver's family ancestors were rivals Obake's own, and Obake himself was the reason why Oliver had moved down to the slums with his children after his wife had died of a terminal illness. Oliver then reveals that the signature katana and knife that Akari carries were once his, and he gave them up to Obake in exchange for Akari's life, meaning he saved her from Obake's clutches. Obake, having learned through hacked communication within his drones who Akari truly is, sends more drones to capture them all. However, Globby is the only one who escapes, and he crafts a plan to rescue them.

Obake then signals Yokai to remove his mask, and he is revealed to be Akinobu, having aligned himself with Obake all along. Akinobu explains that he approached Obake after he left so he could find Oliver, and became his loyal henchman to do so. He then apologizes, saying that he should have been there for Akari and Aiya when they needed him most, and Akari forgives him. As Obake locks them back up, Akinobu realizes the kind of man Obake is and has manipulated him for years, and he berates Obake for recruiting Akari and for lying to her, as well as not telling him or her about their blood relation, before leaving his office in remorse. Akinobu is approached by an arriving Globby, who realizes that he is in his side now and tells him about his plan to rescue Akari and the others. They break them out and then fight through several drones, but they are recaptured and both Akinobu and Globby are detained. In a mutation chamber, Obake releases Akari and offers her a choice; if she saves one, the others die, and she can either choose Akinobu, Aiya, or Oliver, while Globby manages to escape a cell he was put in. Ultimately, Akari choose Aiya, and both Akinobu and Oliver express their proudness. While Oliver is killed by lethal injection, Obake cheats and injects Akinobu with a memory wipe serum, mutating him into a superhuman combined with his microbots in the process. Globby arrives in time to escort Aiya away, while Akari stays behind to fight Obake.

However, Akari cannot bring herself to kill him and leaves, swearing that one day, it will be his reckoning.

While on patrol, Adam is thanked by Momakase for his help, and he promises to help her when she needs him. Before the end credits, Momakase vows to inspire hope to San Fransokyo and renounces her criminal life and her egotistical and ambitious facade that she used in the past.
