Synopsis
1932 New York underworld schemes intertwine with 1711 ship events, linking fates across centuries.
In 1932, the criminal underworld of New York continues to churn with new schemes and old grudges. Graham Specter, a man whose peculiar worldview drives his every action, finds himself at a crossroads when circumstances surrounding his former associate Ladd Russo take an unexpected turn. His unusual plan involves targeting Eve Genoard, a young woman connected to the city's underground, and Jacuzzi Splot, a gang leader who has taken refuge in the Genoard mansion with his crew. As tensions rise, new faces appear in the city: a mysterious woman who finds herself under the protection of Jacuzzi's gang, a visitor seeking answers at the local prison, and a young man haunted by figures from his past. These disparate threads begin to intertwine, hinting at deeper connections that stretch back centuries to events that occurred aboard a ship in 1711. What begins as a series of seemingly unrelated incidents gradually reveals itself to be part of a larger, more complex tapestry of fate, loyalty, and the consequences of choices made long ago.

In 1929, Ladd Russo spared Graham Specter's life and earned his unwavering loyalty. Three years later, Graham is infuriated upon learning that Ladd was pushed off the train after the events aboard the Flying Pussyfoot. As a man of bizarre yet passionate philosophies, he plans to make an offering to Ladd by kidnapping Eve Genoard and subsequently capturing Jacuzzi Splot, who has been living in the Genoard mansion with his gang. Meanwhile, Jacuzzi and his gang take in an unfamiliar woman, Elmer C. Albatross pays a visit to the prison to meet an old friend, and Czeslaw Meyer runs into the man he hoped he would never see again. These seemingly separate storylines merge, tying up several loose ends and revealing the whole truth of the anomaly that occurred aboard the Advena Avis in 1711.

- 8/10 “Perfectly wraps up the original episodes. It could be viewed merely as extra episodes to tie down all the loose ends. It is enjoyable, introduces new aspects, and does a lot with a little time....”

- 10/10 “Not much to talk about, these specials close the anime, as well as its history, if there is one end (reference). The special introduces an additional character with a strong personality and...”
