The 26th Ward, or Ward 26, is a planned city mentioned in The 25th Ward: The Silver Case. During the time of the game, it is temporarily known as merely the Kanto Suburbs.

It is planned by Suda for a "26th Ward" video game to eventually be created as a followup to The 25th Ward, which will depict the story of a war that takes place in the finished city.

History[edit]

Mokutaro Shiroyabu, Shinko Kuroyanagi and Uehara drove out to the Kanto Suburbs in #02 good looking guy while investigating the apparent death of Yasushi Kamijo. They arrived at a house on the seaside. According to the characters, the 26th Ward was planned to be finished in 20 years, and in the meantime, the suburb area had been "put to sleep" as the plans for the construction were being put into place.

The house on the seaside was revealed to be Kamijo's second home, where he lived with Machiko. After discussing Kamijo and the Postal Federation with her, the detectives simply left. However, after this the still alive Kamijo returned to the home, where he presumably lives for the rest of his days.

Additionally, several endings in #07 black out mention Uehara and other characters eventually going to the 26th Ward. In almost all cases, it is described as a war zone.

In the world of Let It Die, the 26th Ward and possibly other areas of Tokyo along the bay area have split off from the mainland and turned into a tower called the Tower of Barbs. This is suggested through numerous details, but most explicitly signs identifying a train station as the 26th Ward's, as well as the description of a post-apocalyptic 26th Ward as a "chaotic tower" in a black out ending (the word "tower" is not included in the English version).
