## Plot

### Tenjiku Arc

As the battle between the Tokyo Manji Gang and Tenjiku nears, Ken Ryuguji arrives at Asagaya Hospital to meet the late Emma Sano who previously got thumped in the head in a drive-by biker attack by Tetta Kisaki. Draken is astounded and Manjiro Sano wallows in despair, while Takemichi Hanagaki ponders on crafting his next moves to ease the situation. However, to Takemichi's dismay, Draken invites Mikey outside the hospital and escorts him to the back area of the building where he chastises him by beating him up. He angrily demands for the details of the incident, but Takemichi pleads him to stop by taking the blame for Emma's death. Draken does not listen and continues to punch him as Takemichi reasons with him. Then, he brings up Haruki Hayashida's and Kazutora Hanemiya's arrests in addition to Keisuke Baji's death to guilt Mikey over for their occurences, all the while pushing Takemichi off him until he elbows the other to fall to the ground.

Knocked on the ground, Takemichi tells Drkaen to get ahold of himself and encourages him to accept the tragedy that had occurred. However, he realizes the depth of his words and imagines his girlfriend Hinata Tachibana who has been repeatedly dying in every present timeline. It dawns upon him that Draken could not possibly accept the death of a loved one as he himself had been fighting for Hina's safety all along, then ascertains that the inability to embrace acceptance against his personal adversities is what led Mikey to become the worst version of himself in the present. Out of hopelessness, Takemichi concludes that he can no longer change the past.

Back inside the hospital, Takemichi warily reminds Mikey of the forthcoming showdown between Toman and Tenjiku. Mikey is unresponsive, but Takemichi continues to speak; he informs him that Kisaki is behind Emma's death and that he had most likely gotten away with his actions, which steers him to face Tenjiku alone if necessary. As he walks away, he hears Hina sobbing in the hallway and plans to cheer her up. He draws finger faces on his thumbs and puts on a show, but Hina is angered and tells him to stop. When she rounds the corner, Takemichi cowers in terror and recounts his days as a pitiful pushover who knew nothing but to apologize for his mistakes and run away from them. He leaves soon after, swearing to protect her from harm even if it meant dying, and fully uplifted to change the past. He is then fetched by Chifuyu Matsuno and taken to Musashi Shrine where they conduct a general meeting with Toman before the Tenjiku battle.

Halfway through punching Izana Kurokawa, Takemichi welcomes Mikey and Draken to the fight at Yokohama Bay but is shocked to find out that Hina had also tagged along. In a flashback at Asagaya Hospital, Hina timidly talks to Mikey about Takemichi's true intentions in saving Emma from Kisaki's attack. Draken calls her out for insensitivity, but she admits to Takemichi's time leaping abilities and her apparent death in twelve years' time. Mikey realizes that she is telling the truth, evident in Takemichi's steadfast actions to always rescue him and Toman from defeat, which leads him and Draken to reconcile and later show up at the fight.
