Hanagaki, escape out the back.
[gasps]
[Takemichi] Naoto!
What's wrong, Takemichi?
-We've got to go back. -What?
-[Kisaki] Takemitchy. -[gasps]
[♪ suspenseful music]
Kisaki…
-Die. -[grunts]
[gunshots]
[Naoto groans]
Huh? Naoto!
Naoto Tachibana was supposed to be mine to kill, Kisaki.
Sorry, Izana.
He took the bullet meant for Takemitchy.
Kakucho.
Kaku-chan…
Kill him.
Yes, sir.
-[gunshots] -[body thuds]
[Takemichi gasps]
[Naoto] This will be our final handshake.
[Takemichi] This won't be the last time, Naoto.
There's no way
I will ever give up!
[crackles]
[Takemichi pants]
[Takemichi] Naoto…
Naoto!
[Takemichi pants]
[sighs]
[Takemichi] It's okay.
There's no way Naoto would die!
Why'd you call me out here so late at night?
[Takemichi] I'm sure I'll return to the present when we shake hands.
[grunts]
I'm sure I can go back.
Come on.
Please!
[Takemichi gasping]
[Takemichi] Naoto…
I'm Naoto Tachibana.
[Takemichi] You were always there supporting me.
I only made it this far because you were there!
[sobbing]
Naoto!
[♪ theme music]
[Naoto] Takemichi…
Are you all right?
[Takemichi] Yeah, I'm fine.
-Sorry for calling you out so suddenly. -[mutters]
[Takemichi] You can go home now.
[soft gasp]
You're still here?
I told you to leave.
Hey, Naoto…
Do you remember when we first met?
Hina died, I traveled through time…
You and I in the future kept trying our very best to save Hina.
But now I can't return to the future anymore.
The future you was the trigger, but now you're dead.
What do I do now?
Guess there's no point in asking you.
I know!
I'll just change the past again.
Then I can save Naoto, and save Hina.
Awesome.
That's it. Yeah, that's it.
Then once I save everyone, I'll return to the future.
And I'll fail again
and fail again…
Forget it.
Maybe… I'm just better off dead.
[gasps]
I love you.
Hina?
Yeah.
[Takemichi] Huh? You heard all that?
Yeah.
I think you mistook me for Naoto.
[Takemichi] Oh, crap!
I told her all about the future stuff.
[Hina] Takemichi, how old are you really?
[Takemichi] Uh…
Twenty-six.
I won't ask you anything else,
but tell me just one thing.
Has the future Takemichi proposed to me yet?
No…
Not yet…
But I've always thought it would be great if we got married.
[Takemichi] What the heck am I saying?
Really?
Was that you proposing now?
Yeah.
Then I can
die happy.
[gasps]
[Takemichi] Hina…
[sniffles]
There's no way I'm giving up!
It's morning.
Yeah.
[groans]
I'd better get back before Mom and Dad get up.
Hina, uh…
[Takemichi] The stuff I said earlier
about the future and stuff…
I didn't hear any of that.
Huh?
Bye-bye!
[Takemichi] Thank you, Hina.
All right! I've got a ton of stuff to do!
After traveling through time again, I now know who my enemy is.
Izana Kurokawa, the guy who wasn't in the other futures.
Without a doubt, his existence accelerated Mikey's descent into darkness.
And Kisaki must be the one behind it.
I'll crush Izana Kurokawa.
Kisaki…
I'll hunt you down this time!
Whether Kisaki can travel through time or not,
Izana Kurokawa is the key now.
What I want to know most now is…
But I do know that Manjiro Sano had
even greater trust in Izana Kurokawa than in Ken Ryuguji.
[Takemichi] Why would Mikey have so much trust in Izana Kurokawa?
Maybe Mikey has met Izana Kurokawa already?
-[motorcycle engine rumbles] -[grunts]
Yo, Takemitchy.
You're sure up early on a Sunday.
SANO
[chopping]
Grandpa, wake up Mikey for me.
[door opens]
Huh?
[Emma] It's about time!
Food…
Morning, Grandpa.
Morning.
[Mikey] Emma, I told you I like my eggs over easy with the yolks crushed.
Then do it yourself.
[Emma] Toss out that old towel already!
You've been fiddling with it since you were little.
No. It's my life.
Pass the soy sauce.
-[sighs] -[doorbell dings]
[Draken] I'm here, Mikey!
Go wait in my room, Draken.
I ran into Takemitchy on the way. Can he come in too?
[Mikey] Sure.
[gasps]
So this is Mikey's place.
[Draken] This way.
This is Mikey's room.
[Takemichi] Whoa. It's separate from the rest of the house.
This was originally a shed.
Shinichiro would work on bikes here.
Really?
We'd come here a lot.
Mikey and me, we'd watched Shinichiro all day long as he worked on bikes.
We never got tired of it.
Wow.
[Takemichi] Whoa! Mikey's room is so cool!
But don't you think it has too much of a grown-up feel?
Well, most of the stuff belonged to Shinichiro.
[door closes]
[Mikey] The bed's the only thing that's mine.
[Takemichi] Mikey!
Quit yelling. It's too early for that.
[Mikey] I see.
Izana Kurokawa.
The guy who approached me.
What? You've met him?
Yeah.
[Mikey] So he's Tenjiku's leader, huh?
The eighth leader of BLACK DRAGON…
Mikey… BLACK DRAGON…
[Draken] Shinichiro?
Huh?
[Draken] Nah, there's no connection.
Okay, Takemitchy, I've got something to tell you.
-Is it okay? -Yeah.
Mikey's brother, Shinichiro, was the founder of BLACK DRAGON.
He was the first leader.
Yeah, okay.
-What? That doesn't surprise you? -[Takemichi] Huh?
[Takemichi gasps] Oh, yeah! I learned that in the future!
Actually, I was so surprised I could hardly talk.
I see.
And the only people who know this are me, Mikey, and Baji…
[Draken] That's about all.
When we helped Kazutora in his fight with BLACK DRAGON,
we figured this info would only be a hindrance to other members of Toman.
I talked with my brother before we fought the ninth generation BLACK DRAGON.
[Shinichiro] I see.
So you'll fight BLACK DRAGON.
Shinichiro,
BLACK DRAGON's not as cool as they used to be.
Yeah, I know.
The eighth leader changed it.
BLACK DRAGON was everything to me.
Do what you want, Manjiro.
BLACK DRAGON is the gang I left for you,
for you to take it over.
So it was the eighth generation BLACK DRAGON leader who ruined it.
In other words, Izana Kurokawa.
[grunts]
-[Takemichi] There's the connection! -[door opens]
Here, I brought you some tea.
-Morning, Draken. -Hi.
So you didn't know Izana Kurokawa before, Mikey?
No, I didn't.
He's my big brother.
Huh?
Who is?
Like I said, he's my big brother, Izana Kurokawa.
[all] Huh?
He's my big brother.
You mean Mikey?
No, not him.
[inaudible]
Hey, I've told you a hundred times before, Mikey.
He's your half-brother, you know.
My last name used to be Kurokawa and I had an older brother.
Oh, is that right?
He's Emma's brother… so he and Mikey are brothers too?
This is shocking!
Darn you! You never listen to me!
Oh, now I remember.
Liar.
-[Takemichi] Excuse me, Emma. -Huh?
This brother of yours, Izana Kurokawa,
do you remember anything about him?
I really doubt it.
We were only together until I was three.
[Takemichi] I see.
Oh, but…
he got along with Shinichiro.
Huh? Shinichiro?
With Shinichiro?
[Emma chuckles softly] Hold on a sec.
Oh.
[Emma] Ta-da!
A tin?
[Draken] What's this?
This turned up when we went through Shinichiro's stuff.
A bunch of letters.
Oh. That's from Izana Kurokawa?
Wait. You mean they're all from him?
Yeah. I haven't read them though.
Looking at all these letters, they must have gotten along great.
"Gotten along" isn't the word…
[Draken] This is kind of frightening.
[Emma] So, did you find out anything?
[sighs]
They're all just about what happened that day.
This is probably the very first letter.
Huh?
[Draken] "Dear Shinichiro."
"Thank you for visiting the other day."
"It's nice to have a family."
[gasps]
[Takemichi] So Shinichiro went to see him.
[Draken] He must have learned about Izana from someone.
I get it now.
[all] Huh?
I'm going out for a little fresh air.
Huh?
-[door closes] -I wonder what's up with Mikey.
TO SHINICHIRO SANO
[Draken] "Dear Shinichiro.
My head's been aching a lot lately.
It hurts bad.
I bet it's his fault.
Don't tell me about Manjiro anymore."
[gasps]
[sighs]
[Emma] He wanted… a family.
Huh?
I was able to get a family, but my brother…
[Emma] I'll get us more tea.
[cups clanking]
Oh.
[door opens]
[door closes]
Izana Kurokawa was abandoned by his family when he was little.
Shinichiro, the first one to ever visit him,
must have been his only support.
[Draken] So what would he think of Mikey?
[Takemichi] That's a good point. He took over BLACK DRAGON from Shinichiro.
But if he was told that BLACK DRAGON was for Mikey to take over,
how would Izana Kurokawa feel?
He was jealous?
Yeah.
He had an intense envy of Mikey.
And hatred.
Something's always bothered me.
-What? -When Toman was formed,
the ninth leader of BLACK DRAGON, Shion Madarame, told us this.
Carry on the will of the eighth leader!
BLACK DRAGON will crush Manjiro Sano and Tokyo Manji Gang!
"The will of the eighth leader"?
The eighth leader of BLACK DRAGON was Izana Kurokawa.
That's right.
When the ninth generation BLACK DRAGON attacked Kazutora,
Izana Kurokawa could have planned it so he could crush Mikey
without Shinichiro finding out.
He may have done it out of a personal grudge.
And now that Shinichiro is gone,
he's formed Tenjiku and put his plan into motion himself
so he can crush Mikey for sure this time.
To crush his blood relative, his own brother.
[Chifuyu] I see.
I never thought this would involve Toman's own founding.
[Takemichi] Chifuyu…
I told you this because I trust you.
[Chifuyu] Oh, okay.
But from now on, I'm working on my own.
-Huh? -I can't drag you into this again.
Huh? Why would you say that now?!
Naoto's dead.
What?
[Takemichi] I really can't go back to the future.
This is my last chance.
This conflict with Tenjiku will end with a compromise.
Toman and Tenjiku will become one
and Mikey will be put in charge of it.
My life was nothing but suffering.
[Takemichi] Izana Kurokawa and the person who made use of his hatred, Tetta Kisaki…
Mikey will fall into their hands.
Before that happens,
I will put an end to this rotten sibling rivalry.
I will kill Kisaki and Izana.
Even if we end up killing each other.
Please understand, Chifuyu.
I'm begging you.
What about First Division?
This is my personal fight.
Then tell them that.
What?
[Chifuyu] When you called me here, I told everyone to come.
Listen, Takemitchy,
this isn't just a simple sibling rivalry.
Shinichiro founded that legendary gang.
Then Izana Kurokawa turned them evil.
And Mikey crushed them.
Those events led to the founding of Toman.
Chifuyu.
[Chifuyu] Those events led me to meet him.
This sibling rivalry is central to all of us in Toman.
And to everyone in First Division.
So you need to talk with everyone and ask them what they want to do.
That's the captain's responsibility!
[♪ inspiring music playing]
[all] We've got to fight them!
You guys… But…
That Izana Kurokawa dude ticks me off!
An enemy of Mikey is an enemy of Toman!
That's just common sense.
[Akkun] Don't brush us off by saying you'll go it alone.
If you're ready to go down fighting,
I'll sacrifice my life for you, Captain.
Akkun…
[Yamagishi] That's right, Takemichi.
Besides, this is the greatest sibling rivalry in history.
A Gang Dex like me would never miss it!
Don't you think Mikey's family is awful complicated?
I can't even figure it out.
[laughs] Don't cramp your pea-brain over it.
[Makoto] What did you call me, Takuya?
[laughter]
Do you even understand it?
[Takuya] Yeah. They're half-brothers…
This division isn't as weak as you think.
So don't shoulder your burden alone.
[Akkun] I bet you think it's like calluses.
I do not!
[Takemichi] Thanks, you guys.
Okay! We'll now begin the First Division strategy meeting!
-Yes, sir! -Yes, sir!
[gang member] Is First Division captain here?
[all] Huh?
What the heck? What bad timing.
[Takemichi] That's a Toman uniform.
But… who's that?
[gang member] Get down here.
He's here.
[Takemichi] Isn't that
Fifth Division's Captain?
-This is bad, Takemitchy. -Huh?
[Chifuyu] He's the only guy in Toman with a special position.
Yo, Hanagaki.
-Watch out, Takemitchy! -Huh?
-Hey! What do you think you're doing? -Let go of me, damn it!
Huh? What's going on?
-[Mucho] Hanagaki. -[grunts]
[Takemichi grunts]
[Yamagishi] Takemitchy!
[coughs]
[gasps]
What the heck are you doing?
[grunting]
Stop it, Mucho!
[Takemichi] Damn it!
There's no fighting among Toman members, man!
FIRST GENERATION TOKYO MANJI GANG
What's your goddamn problem?
-What did Takemichi ever do to you? -[grunts]
[♪ tense music playing]
That damn Izana, making more work for me.
[Takemichi] Izana?
-Sanzu. -[Sanzu] Yes?
[Mucho] Put him in the car.
[coughs, retching]
[Takemichi] Where the heck am I?
Damn. I can't see a thing.
[Mucho] You awake, Hanagaki?
Good.
We're in the middle of a fight with Tenjiku, you know.
[Takemichi] It's the wrong time for this kind of thing.
Look beside you, Hanagaki.
-[clicks] -[light clanks]
[grunts]
All the key players are here.
What?
[Mucho] Let's get started, shall we?
[Takemichi] Huh?
Inupi and Koko?
What are these two doing here?
