In the episode "Iron Mask Arrives" of the original Japanese version of Concrete Revolutio, the story revolves around a new character called Iron Mask. Iron Mask is a mysterious person who arrives at Jiro's apartment, seeking his help to find Lady Guillotine- a high-profile criminal and a former member of the Superhuman Bureau. Jiro initially denies him help but changes his mind after finding a connection between Lady Guillotine and his former colleague, Emi.
The episode takes place in two timelines-- the past and the present. In the past, we see Jiro and Emi working as part of the Superhuman Bureau. Emi disappears one day and Jiro finds it hard to accept her disappearance.
In the present, Jiro, Kikko, and Raito try to track down Lady Guillotine while Iron Mask observes them. Lady Guillotine turns out to be an old acquaintance of Jiro, and it is revealed that Emi's disappearance was connected to Lady Guillotine. Jiro confronts Lady Guillotine, and in a heated discussion, we see flashbacks of Jiro's past with Emi and Lady Guillotine.

The episode is action-packed, with Jiro confronting Lady Guillotine's followers and trying to prevent her from stealing a precious statue that could endanger the peace between humans and superhumans. Meanwhile, Kikko and Raito face off against two other superhumans, Thorn and Mary, who have been hired to protect Lady Guillotine.
