Isn't this where...
Quit spacing out!
Shut up, you jerk!
Just give up already!
You've lost, you bastard, Kisaki!
Since you're weak,
you make other people be your sword and shield!
Moebius! Valhalla! Tenjiku!
You're a coward who can't do anything on your own!
Don't be stupid!
To be a leader of men, you don't need physical strength!
To achieve anything,
what you need is the perfect plan worked out in intricate detail.
The perfect plan?
How can you call it a perfect plan when someone like me can stop it?
Shut up!
I was supposed to become the dark hero.
My first plan was to kill Draken, take over the number two spot,
and manipulate Toman from the shadows.
My second plan was to build Valhalla, which had no leader,
destroy Toman, and install Mikey as its leader.
My third plan was to sic Tenjiku on Toman and destroy it,
manipulate Mikey, and gain control of the underworld.
They were all perfect plans.
There was no way to crush them.
Except for one possibility.
Even now...
Even now, I remember it clearly.
The raging flames.
The rising black smoke.
As I watched, I swore...
I swore to become the leader of Toman.
This is the place, Kisaki.
This is where, in the future,
you murdered Hinata Tachibana.
I've jumped between the future and past over and over in this battle.
Let's settle it right here, Kisaki.
I swear I'll end this.
Right here!
Huh?
What was that just now?
Hina...
I knew it.
You've been traveling through time.
Who'd have thought you really were a time traveler.
I get it now. So that's what it was.
So that's how you did it.
Kisaki,
why are you so obsessed with Hina?
You're attached to Mikey, so I can understand why you want Toman.
But why do you kill Hina every time?
Answer me! Why kill her?
I'm sorry.
That's Hina.
What the heck is going on?
I see.
So...
I failed.
It's that scene again.
It's Hina and Kisaki.
I'm sorry.
Huh?
What the heck is that?
Is that a ring?
Did Kisaki confess his love for Hina in this spot in the future?
Kisaki...
Don't tell me you're in love with...
When I was...
in elementary school, I was called a child prodigy.
Kisaki!
You're amazing! You placed first on the practice exams again!
It was just luck.
Wow! So humble!
- Let's go, Hina. - Hmm?
I pretended not to notice her,
but I was in love with Hinata Tachibana.
And I believed that Hinata Tachibana was naturally in love with me,
the child prodigy.
But then,
one day, a hero suddenly showed up
and stole her heart.
Takemichi Hanagaki.
From that day on,
I always followed you around.
- Takuya. - Yeah?
You know how my heroes are hoodlums, right?
When I get into middle school,
I'll become the number-one hoodlum in Japan.
That's so ridiculous.
The number-one hoodlum in Japan?
How can they be heroes?
HOODLUM
I researched what hoodlums were.
You're Osanai from Moebius, right?
Yeah?
I even approached a real one.
He was apparently someone close to the top.
But he wasn't number one in Japan.
I did a lot of research.
I gathered info on all the hoodlums in the Kanto area
and traveled to meet them.
Then finally, I reached a certain guy.
The leader of Tokyo Manji Gang, Manjiro Sano.
I found the beacon for my plan.
In the summer of last year, when I was about to execute my plan,
I happened to see you.
Look, Takemichi Hanagaki.
I have completely changed
for the woman that I love.
Haven't I seen that guy somewhere before?
I will surpass you.
Becoming the number-one hoodlum in Japan,
it's not a vague dream for me like it is for you.
I'll execute the plan I've intricately worked out.
I'll get what I need to make it happen.
You're Manjiro Sano, right?
Who the heck are you?
My name's Tetta Kisaki.
Without a doubt, Manjiro Sano has the makings to be number one in Japan.
He is the perfect puppet for me.
He is the ideal vessel for me to use to become the number-one hoodlum in Japan.
The key player in the grand plan that will take 10 years.
One year to earn his trust.
Another two years to get to where I can manipulate him.
Another three years until we control Tokyo.
And four years until we control Japan.
10 years until I am called number one in Japan.
Then I will succeed in marrying Hinata Tachibana!
What I saw just now was
the moment after he achieved his selfish ambition...
Hina...
And then you...
But how many times
did you get in my goddamn way, huh?
How many times did you travel through time, huh?
Did you murder Hina as vengeance for turning you down?
Huh?
Again and again and again!
Tachibana is my woman!
I won't let you have her!
I'd rather kill her than let you have her.
Why?
I love her so much,
so why won't she pay me any attention?
The reason is you!
Even though I respected you,
you betrayed me.
I should have...
killed you sooner.
Kisaki...
I won't let you kill Hina anymore.
If this bastard is dead...
...then Hina will be saved.
Takemichi!
Hina...
Takemichi.
Takemitchy!
Ow!
You won't get away!
Damn it!
You're through, Kisaki!
Now that everyone knows what you're up to,
nobody will ever trust you again!
Your ambition has been destroyed!
I won't let it end!
I'll try as many times as it takes.
Someday, Tachibana will be mine!
Someday, I swear it!
I won't let it happen! I won't ever let that happen!
I swear he won't get away.
I can't let him get away!
Where's he trying to go?
What is the trigger that makes him time travel?
I have to... I have to prevent it!
I can't ever let you return to the future again!
"Return to the future"?
Do you think I'm a time traveler?
Huh?
You aren't?
I...
Hmm?
I...
Kisaki?
Shit! What the hell is this?
What's going on?
I can't stand up!
Damn it!
I...
Hey there, hero.
Mikey!
Kisaki...
He's been expelled.
I leave...
...Toman
in your hands.
Thank you.
Turn, and it's right there.
Okay.
Yeah, well,
that's pretty normal.
- Takuya. - Yeah?
I'll become the number-one hoodlum in Japan.
The hero has arrived!
I just wanted...
to be like you.
I don't want to die.
Kisaki...
Don't look, Hina.
Aw, crap.
You know, you really are insanely strong,
Draken.
He's probably escaped by now.
This battle, later called the Kanto Incident,
was a clash of 500 people between Yokohama's Tenjiku,
Kanagawa's largest gang of hoodlums,
and Tokyo Manji Gang, Tokyo's biggest biker gang.
It ended with the gruesome result of five arrests and three deaths.
The arrested were Tenjiku's five officers.
The three dead were Emma Sano,
Izana Kurokawa,
and Tetta Kisaki.
Hey there,
Kaku-chan.
Ultimately,
I was the only one who survived.
Don't talk like that.
How can Izana rest in peace if you say that?
Kisaki died too.
Now the dreams of Tenjiku are through.
That depends on you, Kaku-chan.
On me, huh?
Yes.
Kisaki's dead.
Now my fight is over.
But...
Huh?
Even so...
Since the day Kisaki died...
I can't stop trembling.
