24

24 is a Japanese underground criminal network. By the start of Until Death Do Us Part, Jesus has largely destroyed the group, and the members of 24 seen in the series are remnants of the original group.

It first appeared in Kyouichi Nanatsuki's JESUS, which goes into Jesus's involvement with 24 and his original destruction of it, and was brought into Hiroshi Takashige's Until Death Do Us Part. Nanatsuki's sequel to JESUS, JESUS Sajin Kouro, was developed with Takashige and gives more insight into the situation at Aitou Academy up to the group's permanent dissolution at the hands of Jesus, the Element Network, and Tate Karito.

History
At its height, 24 was a massive crime syndicate that served as a liaison between various criminal groups both in Japan and worldwide. However, because it was a conglomerate of different groups, this also resulted in various factions and disputes emerging from members in its upper ranks.

Notably, one point of contention was collaborating with the Transplant Connection (TPC)&mdash;a massive underground organization that abducted children to sell their organs to wealthy clients. The one who spearheaded this plan was Queen, who also masterminded "Operation Jesus" in the country of Kaddas. This operation resulted in the deaths of the entire Desert Rabbit mercenary company aside from one member, J. Baumann, who would take up the name "Jesus" as a symbol of revenge.

Jesus would eventually get his revenge, killing Queen and razing 24 to the ground. He ended up with the inheritance of another 24 leader, King: a list of international diplomacies and secrets that would give its possessor immense political power. King's granddaughter, Hina Ayaki, was intended to receive this inheritance. Because of it, however, the rest of her family was murdered and the remnants of 24 also sought this "King's Inheritance." As a result, King entrusted the inheritance to Jesus and asked him to watch over Hina at her school, Aitou Acaademy. If she should ever take the path of revenge, however, King requested that Jesus kill her.
