## Synopsis

After Hinata's funeral, Takemichi tells a grieving Naoto what he plans to do next. Why did the same future happen even though Ken remained by Manjiro's side? Takemichi decides he wants to go see Ken and ask him himself, but they find out that he's no longer in Toman in this world and is on death row.

## Summary

At Hinata's funeral, Takemichi Hanagaki reminisces about him meeting Hinata at her doorstep, witnessing the car crash and him telling Hinata he will always love her. Takemichi approaches to Hinata's shrine and decides to pay respects towards her. Takemichi froze and shed a tear, with Naoto crying in agony about Hinata's death. On the outside of the building, Hinata's mother approaches Takemichi, remarking that he has grown up. She gives him Hinata's favorite necklace, which was a gift from him, and remarks that Hinata must have loved him very much, while he cries.

Naoto tells Takemichi that he researched Atsushi, who was married and had children in the current future. In reaction to this, Takemichi wonders why Atsushi still killed Hina, despite knowing that it was a suicide mission. Naoto concludes that Atsushi's family was used to force him into doing it, as they are currently missing. Naoto asks about Atsushi's last words, and upon hearing that they were the same as after a previous time leap, he says that their actions were in vain, as they were unable to escape fate and change the future. Takemichi tells him that he is wrong, as Ken's death must not have been the deciding factor in turning Toman bad. He concludes that they must get to the root of the problem and that Toman must be destroyed; he will become the leader of Toman to do this. Amused by this plan, Naoto laughs, but Takemichi replies that he is serious, as he will do anything to save Hinata, and Naoto thanks him for cheering him up, due to the unfeasibility of his plan. Takemichi wonders how saving Ken could lead to the current future, and Naoto looks into Ken's current life.

Later, on October 20th, 2017, Naoto contacts Takemichi and brings him to Tokyo Detention Center, telling Takemichi that Ken is no longer in Toman, but is not dead; instead he is on death row. They have come to the jail to get information from Ken. As he steps into the visitation booth, Ken remarks that he has not seen Takemichi in a long time, and is happy to see him doing well, while Takemichi tears up upon seeing him. Ken steps into the visitation booth and says he is happy that Takemichi is alright. Takemichi introduces Naoto to Ken. Takemichi finds out that Ken is on death row because he committed murder and asks Ken how this happened, as well as what happened to Toman. Ken says he does not regret his actions, and that he knows he deserves to be in prison, as the current state of Toman is because of him not stopping "that one guy".

Ken reflects on the Toman of his middle school days, which he believes was better, as they had fun, and it meant everything to him. He reiterates that he has no regrets, and would still have lived that way if given a second chance. Takemichi realizes Ken has not changed from twelve years ago. Despite having few regrets, Ken says that he would make sure to kill "that one guy", Kisaki, if he had that second chance. As the visitation time ends, Ken orders Takemichi to leave Tokyo for his safety, as Kisaki will likely try to kill him again. Just as Ken leaves, Takemichi asks him why Kisaki would target him. Ken says that Kisaki's love for Manjiro turned into hatred and that Kisaki wants to take away everything Manjiro holds dear. In the hallways of the prison, Ken thinks back to the murders he committed on the orders of Kisaki.

Back at Naoto's apartment, Takemichi is still in disbelief about Ken's status as a murderer. He thinks back about Ken's words, and wonders what kind of person Kisaki is. Naoto replies that Kisaki currently holds one of the most important positions in Toman, the acting leader. He believes Kisaki is responsible for the repeated murders of Hinata but says that the police cannot find any leads to Kisaki.

Takemichi says that though he wants to defeat Kisaki, he has not met him in the past yet. Repeating his previous vow, Takemichi says that he has to become the leader of Toman, and upon hearing this, Naoto says that he thought Takemichi was joking when he first said that. Takemichi replies that it is the only way he can save everyone and stop Kisaki. Laying out his plan, Takemichi decides to become the Captain of the Third Division, in Pah-chin's place. Naoto says that this is a reckless idea, but trusts Takemichi to successfully fix the future, shaking his hand.

As he travels back to the past, Takemichi wonders how the future turned out like this, and vows to fix the future. He arrives in the past, sitting in a bathhouse. The water near him begins to bubble, and Manjiro playfully pops up from the water, much to the surprise of Takemichi. Ken tells them to quiet down and grow up, and Manjiro ridicules him for still using a shampoo hat, despite his tough exterior.

Takemichi asks Ken about his stab wound, and Ken replies that he is fine, due to him working out. He shows off his scar and his abs, and Takemichi remarks that he does not look like a middle schooler. Mikey suddenly punches Ken in the abdomen, which proves that Ken is still recovering from his injury, telling him not to push himself. In reaction to this, Mikey and Ken end up playfully fighting in the bathhouse, with Ken's shower head falling in the air and ended up on Takemichi's head. Both Mikey and Ken have a laugh about how Takemichi always has things ended up on his head. Takemichi thinks back to what Ken said about how Toman was better when they were kids; he wishes things could be like this forever.

They leave the bathhouse, where Mitsuya, Yasuhiro, and Nahoya waiting outside. Mikey tells Takemichi that they are going to nominate a new Third Division Captain.
