## Summary

Yamagishi is seen telling Makoto that Takemichi has been kidnapped by Mikey when Hina overhears and encounters them. She then goes to find Takemichi and walks towards Mikey and slaps him. Hina then drags Takemichi away from them and tells him that he should not let those guys push him around and says she will protect him. Takemichi notices Hina's hands were shaking. Draken then stops Hina, saying she will be dead and don't fuck with him thinking she can just hit someone and walk away. Hina responds that friends don't just waltz into another school and drag them without their consent and tells Draken that Takemichi has been hurt lately, and if it is their fault, she will make them pay.

Takemichi then tells Draken to let Hina go, thinking that he made a promise to protect Hina and there is something he doesn't want to give up again. Mikey then speaks and tells that it's too bad since he thought they could be friends and asks Takemichi how would he like to die. Takemichi then orders Mikey not to lay a finger on Hina. Just as Mikey is about to punch Takemichi, he leans and tells him that there is no way he would hit a girl. Draken then tells Takemichi that he surprise him.

Hina then apologizes to Mikey for the mistake. Mikey tells Hina that it is great she stood up for her boyfriend but not to overdo it, saying that things can get ugly if Mikey turns out to be someone dangerous. Hina then leaves to which Takemichi asks about their date. Hina replies that they can go another time since his friends came to see him. Mikey then tells Takemichi to better treat Hina right.

While biking with Mikey and Draken, Takemichi thinks if the Mikey he met is really the leader of the super evil gang, Toman. He then asks Mikey why he would like to be friends with him to which Mikey describes it as a stupid question. Mikey then tells him that he has an older brother 10 years older than him but he died and describes his brother as reckless. Mikey then tells that Takemichi reminds him of his older brother. They then stopped by a riverside.

Mikey tells Takemichi that nobody thinks delinquents are cool these days and that during his big brother's time, there were ton of biker gangs, fights but all took care of their problems and describes it as nothing lame and wants to create a new age of delinquents. He then faces Takemichi and tells him he wants to join him. Draken tells Takemichi that there are a lot of guys good at fighting but there's not many guys like Takemichi who'll stand up to anyone because there's something he won't give up. Draken and Mikey then leaves Takemichi and tells him to think about it.

On the way home, Takemichi wonders about Mikey, saying that he is not the guy who would crash a truck and kill a person not like the Toman in 2017 and wonders what made Mikey change. He then encounters another group of students. Just as they passed each other, Takemichi glances back and says that he might have seen the guy somewhere.
