B: The Beginning — Season 1
Cremona, a nation thriving on cutting-edge technology, is gripped by a relentless tide of crime and adrenaline-fueled action. A chilling wave of terror has washed over the city with the emergence of "Killer B," a serial killer whose brutal acts have plunged Cremona into disarray. As chaos reigns, the fates of three figures become inextricably linked: Koku, our driven protagonist; Keith, a celebrated investigator from the Royal Investigation Service haunted by his past successes; and a shadowy criminal organization operating just beyond the reach of the law. Their individual pursuits will collide as they each race toward their own, unknown goals within this volatile landscape.
Keith returned to RIS just as a particularly gruesome double murder, attributed to the notorious "Killer B," unfolded. The respite was brief; soon after, an unidentified group commandeered a military vehicle and unleashed it upon the city i…
The RIS is investigating a death seemingly connected to Killer B, a conclusion Keith disputes. A subsequent body discovered leads them to surveil a lavish party.

Following their tense encounter atop the hospital, Koku agreed to meet Keith the following day at a secluded temple. News had spread quickly, and Keith was now considered a suspect in a murder investigation.
Minatsuki granted permission for the assault on Koku, yet Keith stepped forward to shield him. The RIS was presented with an ultimatum.
Eric urged Keith to return to the RIS, and then placed Lily on suspension as a means of locating him. Meanwhile, Minatsuki dispatched Takeru to pursue Koku.
Keith surrendered, and the RIS resolved to spend their remaining time meticulously setting a snare for the suspected leader of Market Maker, employing Lily as bait.
Koku sought the airship carrying Market Maker and Yuna. Elsewhere, Keith, Eric, and Kaela searched with growing urgency for Gilbert and Lily.
Keith resumed his pursuit of Gilbert. Meanwhile, Koku located the zeppelin and Minatsuki, but Laica, as foretold, managed to escape with Yuna.
Responding swiftly, the RIS arrived as Keith faced Gilbert at the abandoned Jaula Blanca facility. Meanwhile, Koku battled Laica, fighting for the sake of his and Yuna’s survival.
