Episode 76 - The Monster With 21 Faces: Japan’s Most Elusive Criminal Mastermind


Listen Later

One of Japan’s most chilling unsolved cases wasn’t a murder… it was a psychological war.
 This week, we dive into the unbelievable true story of The Monster With 21 Faces, a taunting villain group that kidnapped a CEO, poisoned candy, humiliated police, and held an entire country hostage without ever showing their faces.

No brutality. No gore. Just pure fear, strategy, and a criminal mastermind that seemed to vanish into thin air.

In this immersive cinematic breakdown, Blacklabel leads Geisha and Azzilee through every twist:
 the CEO kidnapping, the escape nobody saw coming, the poisoned Morinaga candy, the fox-eyed suspect, the mocking letters, and the heartbreaking fallout that still haunts Japan today.

This is a case where the villain didn’t need violence to be terrifying, just intelligence, audacity, and a chilling ability to disappear.

🎙️ Keep grinding those levels, finishing those side quests... until next time.
