## Summary

After Draken divulges his affiliation with Brahman, Takemichi processes this news at Draken and Inupi's bike shop. As Inupi helps Takemichi dry off from the rain, Takemichi remarks that it has been a difficult day. When Takemichi inquires about Draken's whereabouts, Inupi says that he is outside with Brahman, probably discussing Takemichi. As Takemichi prepares to go out, Inupi cautions him, saying that he is worried about Draken. He says Brahman is rumored to be more like yakuza than a delinquent biker gang, warning Takemichi to be careful.

Outside, Draken holds Akashi against a wall, angrily exclaiming that he does not listen. He tells Akashi that Takemichi's recruitment is prohibited, along with other former Toman members. Just as Takemichi arrives, Draken reminds Akashi of a promise they made. As Draken releases Akashi, Takemichi demands an explanation. Standing nearby, still under his umbrella, Senju says that Draken is trying to bring Mikey back, while Brahman wants to defeat Mikey's Kanto Manji Gang. Because of this, they have decided to work together.

Addressing Takemichi, Akashi says that he admired Toman's goals of creating a new era for delinquents. He tells Takemichi that the Kanto Manji Gang has strayed from these ideals and has no ambition. If Mikey continues on this path, Akashi predicts he will become a bad person; he declares Brahman's existence as a way of countering this. Senju then comments on Takemichi's impressive speech regarding defeating Mikey, saying that his ambition would be well used in Brahman. He tells Takemichi he is welcome to join Brahman. Upon hearing this, Takemichi realizes that although he was unsuccessful in recruiting old Toman members, utilizing other gangs against Mikey may be a possible solution.

After Senju's offer, Draken angrily interrupts, threatening to become Brahman's enemy if Takemichi becomes involved. Senju is unfazed, asking if he plans to fight them here. Takemichi suddenly interrupts, reminding himself that the future will not change if he continues to watch. To Draken's shock, he decides to join Brahman.

Before leaving, Akashi reminds Draken of Brahman's goal of defeating the Kanto Manji Gang, but says he does not want to fight Mikey, which is why he intended to recruit Mikey's old friends for this purpose. As Senju puts down his umbrella, noting that the rain stopped, Draken sighs, explaining that they share a common goal with Brahman, the only reason for their cooperation. Shaking hands, Draken welcomes Takemichi into Brahman, but not before reminding him that their sole reason for the alliance is to bring Mikey back. Takemichi vows to stop Mikey from continuing down the wrong path; Draken agrees.

Telling him that from today, he is now his gofer, Senju hands his umbrella to a confused Takemichi. He orders Takemichi to meet him in Harajuku at 3 tomorrow. Smiling, Akashi tells Takemichi to be prepared, as Senju has become interested in him.

The next day, Takemichi arrives in Harajuku as directed. There, a voice behind him apologizes for the wait. That voice belongs to a girl eerily resembling Senju, who orders Takemichi to come with her.
