## Synopsis

The Bloody Halloween conflict that results in Toman being taken over by Valhalla has finally begun. Shuji and his army of delinquents overwhelm Toman as Ken does his best to try to protect the other Toman members, putting him at a disadvantage. However, the Toman members see how desperately Takemichi is trying to save Keisuke and Manjiro, lighting their fighting spirits once more.

## Summary

The brawl between Toman and Valhalla starts, with top Toman members doing very well. Takemichi tries to look out for Keisuke but ends up in a fight with a Valhalla member. Kazutora attempts to attack Manjiro, but Ken stops him, stating that he won't let him touch Manjiro, however, Shuji Hanma steps in and pushes Ken away, deciding that they will be fighting each other and leaves Kazutora to fight Manjiro.

Takemichi is in trouble, losing his fight, but Takashi saves him, however he scolds him, asking him why he came, since they are there to fight and he needs to stay focused. Takemichi gets motivated, however as he sees two big scary guys in front of him, he gets scared again. Chifuyu gets behind him, telling him he will be covering his back, and that there is no one here who isn't afraid, but what matter is how you face that fear. Recalling Hinata's death, Takemichi gets a hold of himself and starts fighting back.

As the fight proceeds, Takashi tells Ken that Valhalla consists of older and bigger members, and they are twice as many as Toman. While the captains can hold their ground, the weaker guys are getting owned. Ken goes and protects a weaker member, who apologizes, stating that he wish he could fight like the captains, but Ken tells him he will protect all. As more of the weaker guys start to collapse, Ken sees Takemichi running and swinging his fights, yelling at Valhalla members to come and fight him. As Takemichi yells he will crush all, the weaker guys get motivated and stand up to continue fighting. No longer needing to protect them, Ken goes on offense and starts beating Valhalla members one by one. As he dispatches a large number of enemies, Ken turns towards Shuji to continue their fight and sends him flying couple of meters with a single punch.

Manjiro follows Kazutora, who climbs on a pile of used cars. A Valhalla captain launches a surprise attack, but Manjiro manages to block it. Kazutora then states that he didn't promise to fight one-on-one and explains he brought the strongest fighters while he was in juvie: Chonbo and Chome. Chome assumes that Manjiro isn't that strong as typically those who are said to be strong are not actually strong. Hoewever as they engage him, Chomo realizes that Manjiro is indeed real deal. Kazutora then explains he lured him here as his footing won't be stable and he won't be easily launching his deadly kicks. Chonbe is surprised that Manjiro is easily able to fight against him and Chome, but they manage to grab him and restrain him, giving Kazutora a chance to come and hit him in the head with a pipe. As Manjiro falls, everyone is surprised and Kazutora believes they have won. Manjiro is bleeding, but manages to get up and asks Kazutora if he is Kazutora's enemy. Kazutora then recalls a moment when Manjiro told him that he belongs to him, along with his pain and suffering. He then recalls how he was being abused by his father, while his mother didn't do anything. Kazutora then tells Manjiro that he went to juvie because of him and naturally Manjiro is his enemy. Killing someone makes you bad guy, but killing your enemy, makes you a hero. Chonbo and Chome then hold Manjiro, while Kazutora proceeds to hit him with the pipe. Angry, Manjiro asks did he kill his brother because he was his enemy. He then hits Chome with the back of his head and rises his leg while Chonbo is still holding him and then kicks Kazutora in the head, knocking him down.
