DOPE Mayaku Torishimari Bu Tokuso Ka EP01 “CASE 1: Birth of Polar Opposite Buddies: Taking on a Mysterious Case”

Set in a near future Japan, where a mysterious new drug called “DOPE” is spreading quickly. Yuto Saiki, a new narcotics officer, is reprimanded for acting on his own while arresting a drug dealer and is fired by Hajime Yamaguchi, a senior official at the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. However, this was to get Saiki to join the Special Investigation Department of the Narcotics Control Department, also known as the “Special Investigation Unit.” A highly secretive department dedicated to cracking down on DOPE. At the same time, a hostage situation occurs involving a DOPE user, also known as a “DOPER.” Saiki greets Special Investigation Unit Chief Kosuke Katsuragi, Hikaru Watanuki, Takumi Shibahara, and others before going to the scene. They try to persuade the perpetrator, but Saiki and the others find themselves in danger. Then another member of the Special Investigation Unit, Teppei Jinnai, appears. Jinnai seems to be in frequent contact with Jiu, a mysterious man who appears in various forms and is as hard to find as a ghost. Saiki and Jinnai, two people with completely opposite personalities, become partners.
