This time, it's me.
I'm the one...
who killed...
Hina.
And Akkun and Chifuyu and all those guys died too!
Screaming and crying won't help!
You saved me!
Please, transform this hellish world,
Takemichi!
To save Hina
and save everyone!
What?
We both got strikes.
We were perfectly in sync.
Hilarious.
He's huge!
Wait! What?
Do I know this guy?
Wait. I thought I'd seen you before.
You're Takemichi Hanagaki.
What?
Oh, come on.
Has making captain gone to your head?
I'm vice-captain of the Second Division,
HAKKAI SHIBA VICE-CAPTAIN, SECOND DIVISION
Hakkai Shiba.
What? You mean the Second Division of Toman?
Let's go, already!
Buzz off!
This bowling lane is calling me!
It's still calling you?
Unless I bowl ten games, it doesn't feel like I've really bowled.
Can't you use that energy for something else?
Since we're here, I've got to make the most of it!
This guy is...
You guys bitch and moan too much,
you goddamn old-timers.
He's from BLACK DRAGON!
What's wrong?
Oh, nothing...
My captain's told me a lot about you.
Why the heck is a BLACK DRAGON member a vice-captain in Toman?
What's going on?
TOKYO REVENGERS
Hakkai Shiba is the 11th leader of BLACK DRAGON.
Rumor has it the bastard killed the last leader for money
and took over BLACK DRAGON.
He killed someone for money?
That's what Kazutora told me...
He sure is tall and slim.
Hina!
What?
Oh, wow!
What?
Here you go!
Thank you.
Here.
Thanks.
No way!
Shiba knocks those pins down way harder than Takemichi.
Yeah. He uses the heaviest ball there is.
What?
Eighteen pounds?
That's pro-level!
What?
Here goes!
50 POINTS AVERAGE
100 POINTS CHAMPION
Oh, wow!
What... What incredible power!
Take that! And that! And that!
Take that!
Why you!
Take that, you!
MOLE STOMP-OUT
Holy crap! He's so quick!
What... What amazing technique!
Next, how about a game of Ping-Pong?
You're on!
There isn't any Ping-Pong here.
Come on! Let's go!
Sorry. But I just love watching how he reacts.
So, starting today, we're bros.
Takemitchy, come on over to my place.
Okay...
But this is Hakkai Shiba.
This maniac wants to be my friend!
If you two are bros now,
that means I'm a big sis to both of you.
What? You're siblings?
Go buy me a soda.
What?
Now that you mention it, you've got similar eyes.
You look like a pretty weak fighter, so how'd you get to be a captain in Toman?
That's my tender spot.
Hakkai has obviously got way more talent to outrank you.
But he's got zero interest in that.
That's for sure.
Shiba looks really tough.
Hina!
What's with this silence?
You really are totally hopeless.
Just thinking about being a leader gives me a headache.
Too many restrictions.
I like being free.
What?
This guy is actually kind of...
That's so cool, Shiba.
Hina!
-What? -What?
Don't let it bother you, Hina.
My brother is super awkward.
Whenever a girl besides me talks to him,
he freezes up.
What?
Don't let it bother you.
Okay...
A total dork.
Is this guy really Hakkai Shiba?
Rumor has it the bastard killed the last leader for money
and took over BLACK DRAGON.
Is he really the future leader of BLACK DRAGON like Kazutora said?
But he doesn't look like a bad guy.
Right now, he's vice-captain of Toman's Second Division.
So, what happens in the next 12 years?
Well...
Hakkai, since you're vice-captain of the Second Division,
do you get along with the captain, Mitsuya?
I'm stuck with him.
Also,
you and I are the same age, so quit being so polite.
We're the same age? You totally don't look it!
That's mean, man.
Mitsuya is like an older brother to Hakkai.
Taka is a pain in my ass.
He taught me what makes a hoodlum cool and uncool.
"Taka"?
Oh, right.
I think Mitsuya's first name is Takashi.
Annoying, huh? That guy...
He's like...
a real older brother to me.
What?
His love for Mitsuya is over-the-top.
-What? -What?
Just look at his cell phone.
Yuzuha! When did you take that?
His lock screen is Mitsuya.
That is pretty darn nuts!
And mine is Hakkai.
That's even more nuts!
But...
I think they make a good pair.
But in the future...
The BLACK DRAGON gang that Hakkai leads
and Kisaki will purge the Toman members.
That would be embarrassing!
Give me back my phone!
Fine.
Mitsuya goes missing in the future.
Would this guy do that?
But he's got Mitsuya's photo on his standby screen!
Hakkai Shiba...
I've only just met him,
but the Hakkai I met in the future
acts like a completely different person.
Something must have changed him.
What the heck could have happened?
I have no idea what'll happen next,
but if I can stop it,
BLACK DRAGON will be eliminated, and they won't corrupt Toman.
Takemitchy, my place is just up ahead.
What?
Oh, okay.
Hakkai, this is bad.
MURDER SQUAD
Our brother is...
coming back.
What the...
MURDER SQUAD
These guys are bad news!
"B...
D"?
What's that?
Hanagaki.
Sorry, but you need to leave.
What?
Well, well, well!
If it isn't the younger brother.
Koko...
This guy?
In the future, he's an ex-BLACK DRAGON member!
That means...
these guys are...
BLACK DRAGON!
Who the hell are you people?
I've seen that dude before.
He's the captain of Toman's First Division, Hanagaki.
A Toman prick on our turf?
You messing with us?
Toman?
One of their captains?
What the hell?
I'm screwed!
You'll never get off our turf alive!
Hope you've said your prayers.
So, you're the famous Hanagaki, huh?
The captain of Tokyo Manji Gang's First Division.
The golden rookie who rocketed to fame.
This whole area is BLACK DRAGON turf.
Our boss ordered us to kill any other gang members caught here
trying to muscle in on our turf.
I think you know what that means, huh,
Hanagaki?
It means you're dead!
HAJIME KOKONOI, TENTH GENERATION BLACK DRAGON ELITE GUARD CAPTAIN
Boys. Go, get 'em.
SEISHU INUI, TENTH GENERATION BLACK DRAGON COMMANDOS CAPTAIN
-Yes, sir! -Yes, sir!
Hina, get out of here.
These guys won't go easy even on girls.
Lay off!
Takemitchy is my friend!
Hakkai,
even if they are your friends, they need to be taught a lesson.
You see, our gang won't listen to you.
Is this that Hanagaki dude?
He doesn't measure up to all the rumors.
I bet it's a lie that he's a captain.
I'll take him down and get the cred.
He looks like a wuss.
We won't need this many guys.
Shit! What am I gonna do?
Hina is here too!
I told you, don't you dare lay a hand on my pals.
I'm asking nicely.
Does this guy really know BLACK DRAGON?
Hakkai, weren't you listening?
We don't take orders from you.
Let's do these chicks too!
Get lost, scumbags!
What a total badass!
Sorry I got you mixed up in this, Takemitchy.
What?
The boss of BLACK DRAGON is Taiju Shiba.
What?
"Shiba"? You mean...
That's right.
Taiju is our older brother.
The three of us are siblings.
Hakkai's brother is the boss of BLACK DRAGON?
Wait! That must mean...
Where's my brother?
The convenience store.
He almost never comes home, so why now of all times?
What a pain in the ass.
Hey.
Watch your mouth, asshole.
Talk shit about the boss and I'll kill you.
You're losing your cool.
You think I won't do it?
Don't mess with my little brother!
Give it up, Inupi.
They're the boss's siblings.
I swore loyalty to the boss.
There's no reason we should take shit from them.
I'll show them who's in charge.
I don't care if you are a girl.
I'll kill every last one of you!
These guys are messed up!
They're not anything like Toman!
They're freaking out of their minds!
MURDER SQUAD
Sorry about this, Hanagaki.
This is our problem to handle.
Leave it to us and get out of here now.
Protect Hina.
What should I do?
These guys are definitely bad news,
but would they really harm the brother and sister of their boss?
More importantly,
I can't let Hina stick around here.
Hina, let's go!
Takemichi!
Taiju...
"Doh!"
The sound you make when I bash your head in!
TAIJU SHIBA, TENTH GENERATION BLACK DRAGON LEADER
Takemichi! Are you all right?
Hina!
Run away now!
Not fair, you guys.
You're having fun without me.
Let me join in!
Takemichi!
Stay back!
This is Hakkai's brother?
This guy is the tenth boss of BLACK DRAGON!
Those guys were so rowdy before,
but now, they're perfectly still!
So, who's this punk?
You punched him without even knowing?
That's so like you, Boss.
That guy is the captain of Toman's First Division,
Takemichi Hanagaki.
Toman?
This guy is the captain of Toman?
Koko, that's a good joke.
It's the truth, Boss.
He's your brother's friend.
No damn way!
So, Hakkai,
you mean you brought a goddamn outsider to our home?
But you won't even join our gang no matter how many times I tell you to?
Hakkai.
Beat this guy... to death.
Hey!
Couldn't you hear me?
I told you...
Kill him!
