The Port Mafia (Pōto Mafia?) is an underground criminal organization led by Ougai Mori and based in Yokohama, Japan. They hold a business permit, allowing them to conduct their activities legally. The Port Mafia is also known as Yokohama's "Guardians of the Night." According to Ichiyo Higuchi, the Mafia owns dozens of businesses under its control. Members of the Mafia also rise in politics and economics, wielding influence over the most prominent figures in Yokohama, who aid the organization in every way. Those who challenged them deeply regretted their actions. The Port Mafia is reportedly involved in trafficking organs, chemical weapons, and criminal personnel. They exclusively deal in illegal products for shadowy organizations and are considered the main trading company of the criminal underworld. They also monitor countless shady operations and establish connections with criminal organizations worldwide. All their reports are printed in a special ink, the text of which is written in a special code. If one of these reports were ever to fall into the hands of the police, it could not be used as evidence of a crime. Before the Mafia expanded its territory and received permission to do business, Osamu Dazai mentioned that they did not interfere with the drug industry. He also noted that the Special Unit for the Study of Unusual Abilities, the Narcotics Bureau, and the Military Police Anti-Organization Committee were waiting for the Port Mafia to make such a grave mistake, creating more trouble for the drug industry than it was worth.

The Death of the Celestials (天人五衰, Tennin Gosui?), also known as the Assassination Society, are terrorists lurking in the shadows of this world. The Five who proclaim the end of the heavenly kingdom. Influence One of them has the ability to instantly swap "the information the other person most wants to know" for "the information the esper most wants to obtain." They used Oguri's ability in this way to find all the lost evidence on Dazai Osamu and other criminals whose evidence had been lost in the past. Using information stolen from Tonan's special department in this way, Dostoevsky's organization obtained one of the pages of that very coveted reality-altering book. With their intelligence and abilities, the Assassin Society, and Gogol in particular, managed to infiltrate and pose as a government member of the Department of Special Abilities, providing the society with vital information while concealing the deeper details of their actions, which were later revealed by Ango Sakaguchi. Nevertheless, they were able to manipulate members of the Ministry of Justice, and most likely several other "important" officials. With their power and several government agencies, the Assassin Society aims to completely destroy the Armed Detective Agency. Interesting facts All members of this organization were believed to be of Russian origin until this theory was refuted by the identification of Fukuchi as a member of Japanese origin and Stoker as a member of Irish origin. The organization called "Assassination Society/Death of the Celestials" takes its name from Yukio Mishima's novel "Angel Has Fallen," which was published in 1971 and was the final installment of the "Sea of ​​Fertility" tetralogy.

Not much is known about this organization. Its leader, Fyodor Dostoevsky, wants to purge the world of espers and therefore decided to pit the Port Mafia and the Detective Agency against each other after the Guild's collapse (he annoyed the Guild during the three-way conflict). According to Dazai, their goal is "the book," but to obtain the book, they must exterminate the espers in Yokohama, but they don't have the Guild's power to incinerate the entire city. Therefore, they use assassinations to decapitate the armed detective agency and the mafia.
