Listen up! The person sitting behind me
is the new 3rd Division Captain, Kisaki Tetta!
Yo, what's goin' on?
This looks like fun!
What are you doing here, Baji?
You're not allowed at our meetings because of a certain internal conflict, remember?
Am I finally gonna be fired for ruining your precious meeting?
What? What the hell is this guy talking about?
You don't want any troublemakers, do you, Mikey?
Baji!
I'll go ahead and quit.
Starting today, former 1st Division Captain Baji Keisuke is an enemy of Toman.
I have a favor to ask, Takemitchy.
Sure.
Bring Baji back from Valhalla for me.
Will you do that for me?
Yeah! If that's what you want, of course!
But... could I ask for one thing in return?
I want you to kick Kisaki out of Toman.
Okay.
We're going to end up butting heads with Valhalla soon.
Bring Baji back before then.
Prove to me that you're more useful than Kisaki.
Hey, no running in the halls!
Bring Baji back from Valhalla for me.
If you fail, I'll kill you.
What should I do?
Takemichi!
I heard the news. You're a part of Toman now?
Akkun...
Huh? What's wrong? Why do you look so down?
Huh? Um... Oh, right!
I ended up a member of Toman somehow.
Wow. What the hell happened?
I can't look Akkun in the eye.
Man, our Crybaby Takemichi is in Toman!
We wanna join, too!
Well... it's actually not as great as it sounds.
I see.
So if you don't bring the former 1st Division Captain, Baji-kun, back from Valhalla,
Mikey-kun's gonna kill you.
Yeah... And I only have until their showdown with Valhalla starts.
And who the hell knows when that'll happen?
If it's today...
RIP, Takemichi. We'll pick up your remains for ya.
But to be honest, I have no idea what's going on internally with Toman,
and I barely even know what Valhalla is.
Hey, Delinquent Encyclopedia.
Huh? Oh, fine. I'll explain it for you.
Tokyo Manji Gang, Toman for short.
The commander is Mikey-kun, and the vice commander is Draken-kun.
Under them are five divisions with about 20 members in each,
Toman is
Mikey
Draken
1st
2nd
making them a huge biker gang with about 100 members.
3rd
4th
You know that much, right?
Wow... I had no idea.
Mikey
Draken
1st
2nd
Seriously? And you call yourself a delinquent?
Sorry.
You better take notes. This is gonna be on the test.
You three! Stop whispering!
Talk about playing the part...
Toman is
Mikey
Draken
Toman is

Draken
From what I heard, the former 3rd Division Captain, Pah-chin-kun, was arrested,
and his vice captain, Peh-yan-kun, joined the 2nd Division.
Huh? So Peh-yan-kun's under Mitsuya-kun now?
Yeah.
We're in the same division... Peh-yan-kun's hard for me to handle.
Takemitchy!
And his voice is scary.
And the one who became the 3rd Division Captain in his place is...
Kisaki!
Right. A former leader of Moebius.
Moebius was never really a monolith.
The crew that was born in 1988, led by Osanai,
and the crew that was born in 1990, led by Kisaki, were always butting heads.
I see. I guess they have a lot going on, despite being in the same group.
After Osanai lost to Mikey-kun, Moebius basically disbanded.
And then the 1990 group led by Kisaki joined Toman,
which led to Toman growing from 100 to 150 instantly.
2nd
3rd
4th
Within Toman, Kisaki's 3rd Division ended up way bigger than any other division.
Toman's going to need Kisaki's strength in the future.
What happened to the 1988 gang that followed Osanai?
The remaining members from the 1988 and 1990 gangs ended up
under Hanma Shuji.
Him?
He did say he was the temporary commander of Moebius at the Battle of 8/3.
Then Hanma gathered those remaining members of Moebius
and anti-Toman forces to create Valhalla.
Valhalla's sitting at about 300 members right now.
Three hundred?
And Hanma's their commander?
Tsk, tsk, tsk. Hanma is the acting commander.
No one knows who the real commander is.
The commander has no face.
That's why they call Valhalla "The Headless Angel."
So that's the team Baji-kun went to.
I guess I'm gonna have to meet with him in person
to try to bring him back to Toman.
But how...
Heya. Do you know what class a second-year kid named Hanagaki is in?
Huh?
He's in Class 3.
Huh. Thanks.
Was there always a guy that hot at our school?
Judging by his shoe color, he's a third-year, right?
The guy who rounded up all the former Moebius members is Valhalla's No. 2, Hanma.
And the other anti-Toman forces gathered under...
their No. 3, Hanemiya Kazutora.
Huh?
Toman is
Mikey
Draken
Hanemiya Kazutora
1st
2nd
3rd
4th
5th
Wait, is school already over?
Who the hell are you? I haven't seen you around here before.
Well, that's not very polite!
I'm actually your senpai.
Huh? Who are you? I've never seen you before.
He's got a tiger tattoo on his neck!
Makoto, don't! He's—
Huh? What?
Hey, do any of you know Hanagaki Takemichi?
T-Takemichi! It's him!
Huh?
Takemichi?
H-He's Valhalla's No. 3!
Hanemiya Kazutora!
Valhalla's No. 3 Hanemiya Kazutora
Hey, that's awesome!
I can't believe a kid one year younger than me at my school belongs to Toman!
Okay, Takemichi!
Huh?
We're going to Valhalla's hideout!
Huh? Valhalla's?
Hey, I found Takemichi!
That's him?
Yup.
Wh-Who might they be?
Hm? They're my most-trusted kohai.
A-Ah... What exactly happened to them? They both seem to be using crutches...
Hm? I broke their legs yesterday.
Huh? They are your most-trusted people, right?
Yup.
You got a problem with Kazutora-kun?
No...
How are those two so calm when they've literally had their legs broken?
Regardless, this guy's definitely insane!
Hurry up, Takemichi!
Valhalla's No. 3, Hanemiya Kazutora...
If I go with this guy, I might end up in serious trouble.
I'd be going straight to the enemy's base!
Don't worry. I'll introduce you to everyone.
Everyone? Wait, is this my chance to see Baji-kun?
But... I'm still a bit scared.
Yeah, let's go!
What should we get today?
Well...
Hina...
How about parfaits?
Good idea!
I swore to you back then...
that I'd do anything to protect you.
Valhalla's base?
Bring it on.
Mikey-kun promised me that he'll fire Kisaki if I bring Baji-kun back to Toman.
If we get Kisaki out of Toman, the future will change!
I'm not gonna let that future happen again!
Just watch, Hina!
Who gave you permission to breathe?
Um... Hanemiya-kun.
Hm? You can call me Kazutora.
Kazutora-kun...
You're a third-year at our school, right?
Yup.
Um... I figured it'd be a bigger deal if someone as famous as you
went to our school.
Well, I only went to school during the first term of my first year there.
Huh?
I was in juvie.
What?!
Juvie... You got arrested?
Because of him.
Hey, we're almost there.
"Him"? Who's he talking about?
Anyway, I have to somehow get Baji-kun outta there without Valhalla noticing!
Game Center
Huh? This is it?
Yup.
An arcade?
It went under ages ago.
No Trespassing
The Headless Angel...
Game Center
They've definitely got a different vibe than Toman.
Huh?!
Baji-kun?!
Kazutora-kun... What's going on here?
What's it look like? It's a test of faith.
A test of faith?
It's to test Baji's belief in our group.
Going from Toman to Valhalla is like changing religions. You need to show resolve.
The guy Baji's beating on right now is Toman's 1st Division Vice Captain.
He's Baji's most trusted retainer.
The 1st Division's Vice Captain?!
Toman is Valhalla's enemy.
If he's going to betray his old god Mikey,
he's gotta stomp out his old beliefs.
Well? That good enough for you, Hanma-kun?
You gonna let me into Valhalla now?
Punishment Sin
Damn, dude. That guy's been by your side forever.
Surprised you went that far.
What? I didn't come here for a friggin' lecture.
Kazutora.
Hey.
You ready?
Yup. This is Hanagaki Takemichi.
The new member of Toman.
Huh?!
Wait, don't tell me the next test of faith is...
You're Hanagaki?
Get up here.
Go!
You're the twerp from the other day.
Did you come here to get killed?
Kill him!
Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!
I came here to take Baji-kun back, but now Baji-kun's gonna kill me.
Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!
Sin
Kill him!
One of Toman's founding members and its 1st Division Captain, Baji Keisuke!
He says he wants to leave Toman behind and join Valhalla!
A Toman higher-up wants to join Valhalla?
Isn't that bad news?
Nah, that's amazing.
Yes! This is one hell of a deal!
Baji joining us will be a huge help in our plan to crush Toman.
But first, we need to make sure of something.
He might be a Toman spy.
Which is why we had Kazutora prepare a witness.
We'll now summon the witness!
Hanagaki Takemichi.
Yes?
What did Baji here say at the last Toman gathering?
Um...
That he was going to Valhalla, and that Toman was his enemy.
What do you think, Kazutora?
We did a test of faith and summoned a witness.
That's probably good enough.
Baji's gonna be useful to our forces,
and he knows a lot about what's gone on in Toman since I've been gone.
He's definitely worth bringing into Valhalla.
Are you sure about this, Baji?
We're gonna crush Toman and...
kill Mikey.
Yeah.
I'll help you out, Kazutora.
I think that's enough.
All right! Starting today,
Baji Keisuke is officially a member of Valhalla!
You're kidding me...
Shit! At this rate, I won't be able to bring Baji-kun back.
Wait a sec!
You're one of the founding members of Toman along with Mikey-kun, right, Baji-kun?
Why are you betraying them?!
I'm a founding member of Toman, so I shouldn't betray them?
Give me a break.
He's a founding member, too.
Huh?
The sixth guy in that photo... It's Kazutora-kun!
Kazutora has a grudge against Toman.
I'll never forget it.
The summer of 2003, when I was a first-year in middle school.
We were running wild.
It was the middle of summer, but it was a slightly chilly day.
Mikey asked you to go see him, too?
Yeah. The usual place, right?
Baji Age 12
Hand over the money.
P-Please don't...
Huh?
Sorry we're late. Baji decided to fight some punks.
Kazutora Age 12
Hey! Don't put this all on me!
Whoa! That's so cool!
Huh? What's that?
The Toman jackets are ready!
Pah-chin Age 12
Whoa! Awesome!
Right?
The embroidery's so detailed!
Isn't this awesome, Mitsuya?
"Awesome," my ass. You made me do all the damn work.
Mitsuya Age 13
All right! Let's hurry up and get changed so we can take our photo!
Draken Age 13
Right, Mikey?
Mikey Age 12
What?! You bastard! Why the hell are you eating all of my chocolate parfait?!
Oh, now that you mention it...
I said you could have one bite!
Just order another one.
That's not the point!
What is, then?
I wanted to eat this chocolate parfait!
Ah...
What?!
God, why are you always like that?
What?! Get your asses outside!
Thanks for the grub.
Ugh, whatever.
Hey.
I-I'm gonna take the picture.
Hurry it up!
O-Okay. Say cheese!
No one would've expected the incident that came next, not even in their wildest dreams.
