Eastern Death

Eastern (東側の死神) is a Russian unofficial special unit, mainly using sniping and explosives to assassinate important people from other countries and start wars between countries inconvenient to Russia.

During the Cold War, there had been an Urban Legend that merely writing the name of the unit on paper was enough for the unit to come assassinate you.

World War III Arc
Glickin runs into the Eastern while looking for a kid from Digurv's village who went missing in the fighting against the Privateers. Although he quickly tries to sneak away, one soldier spots him and chase him down, as the unit could not afford to leave witnesses of what they were about to do. The situation rapidly gets worse, as the missing kid is attracted by the soldier's gunfire at Glickin and runs towards them. With no way out, Glickin is prepared to die when Hamazura shoots a branch and drops over 10kg of snow on the soldier, burying him instantly. Covered in snow and seeing a gun pointed in his direction, the soldier surrenders and Hamazura quickly ties him up, after which he and Takitsubo have a conversation with Glickin.
