Season five part one consisted of 13 gripping episodes, but it was one moment towards the end that got everyone talking – the death of Tokyo. Tokyo (played by Úrsula Corberó) began the series alongside her fellow robbers still held in the Bank of Spain hiding from the Spanish army.

However, towards the end, Tokyo, who served as the show's narrator, Denver (Jaime Lorente) and Manila (Belén Cuesta) had to split away from the other robbers in order to escape the attack from government forces. It was this breaking up of the group that resulted in Tokyo becoming vulnerable when under attack.
