Yaichi, Ume, Otake, and Matsu only make four, so if that indeed was the mistake, Masa really would make five.

Exactly. I doubt the old man counts as a member, he's never even met Yaichi from the looks of it. That's simply what Masa assumed, and as he didn't say it out loud Otake couldn't correct him. I very much doubt the Five leaves are planning to betray Masa, though it's quite hard to tell what's in Yaichi's mind. He's quite a mysterious guy.

Great OP, by the way. And great background music, well used.

Couldn't have said it better. I feel exactly the same.
