Synopsis
Back in present day, Ken tells Takemichi that Kazutora ends up killing Keisuke at the Bloody Halloween, the fight against Toman and Valhalla, and Manjiro ends up killing Kazutora. Because of that, Manjiro falls into darkness, and Toman is taken over by Valhalla, which leads to the evil organization that it currently is now, led by Kisaki. Takemichi goes back to the past with a new mission: to protect Keisuke so that this tragedy doesn't happen.

Summary
Ken explains that Manjiro was never caught for killing Kazutora since Tetta Kisaki had prepared a patsy for him. Manjiro then felt into darkness and Toman was overtaken by Valhalla, expanding into giant organization with Manjiro as commander and Tetta as acting commander. Takemichi can't believe that Manjiro would kill anyone, but Ken questions him if he would not have done it himself if Kazutora had killed his brother, and then also killed Keisuke in front of him.

As they leave, Takemichi still can't believe Manjiro is capable of killing anyone, however, he had started seeing glimpses of what happened that day. He recalls seeing lying Keisuke, Kazutora and Manjiro's devastated face and wishes to save him. At Naoto's place, Naoto explains that on Bloody Halloween, Toman ended up losing to Valhalla all because Manjiro ended up killing Kazutora. Takemichi then decides to save Keisuke, which in return will cause Manjiro to not make that mistake of killing Kazutora and also stop Tetta's plan. Deciding on the new mission to protect Keisuke, they shake hands and Takemichi returns in the past.

Takemichi finds himself walking Hinata home. She tells him to wait and comes out with a present. As Takemichi opens it, he sees its the same clover medallion he gave her, making them both having matching medallions. Takemichi recalls how much it meant for Hinata and starts crying and thanks her.

Ken calls Kazutora and asks him if they can stop the fight. Ken wonders why Kazutora hates Manjiro that much, even thought Manjiro spoke in Kazutora's defense, which is the reason he got out of juvie early. Kazutora states he spend two years in a cell and is no longer the same. Ken states that he is still part of his crew and Kazutora states that this is what he doesn't like in him and leaves stating that they will crush Toman in the upcoming battle.

A day before the battle, Chifuyu takes Takemichi to meet with Keisuke. Chifuyu questions Keisuke if he found anything about Tetta Kisaki. He explains that he did his own research and found out that Tetta is bad news, so Keisuke no longer needs to stay in Valhalla. Chifuyu wonders if Keisuke will really become Toman's enemy tomorrow. Keisuke tells him to not trust anyone who isn't his friend and tomorrow they will crush Toman. Takemichi requests to talk with Keisuke alone. He then asks him to not die tomorrow as that will make Manjiro sad. Keisuke states that he will kill Manjiro tomorrow and Takemichi can go and tell him that.

Later, Takemichi meets with Manjiro and tells him that he couldn't bring Keisuke. Manjiro states it isn't Takemichi's fault if keisuke doesn't back down and that just means Keisuke betrayed Toman and they will fight tomorrow. Later, during a meeting of Toman, Manjiro explains that they will be fighting with Valhalla tomorrow and they won't show mercy to traitors. However, Manjiro then states that he will be childish for a moment and states that he can't fight his friend. Manjiro then hypes everyone and tells them to help him out win tomorrow and bring Keisuke back. As everyone cheers "Toman", Tetta is amazed and comments that this is what he wanted. Manjiro apologizes to Ken, wondering if he is failed commander, but Ken tells him the cheers disagree.

On October 31, 2005, the day of the battle, Takemichi sees large group of people at the place of the fight and wonders what are they doing there. Chifuyu explains that they are there to see Toman versus Valhalla as the winner would be one step closer to running Tokyo, thus all the delinquent bosses are here to watch. Chifuyu then points out to the Haitani Brothers, a charismatic brothers from Roppongi that can gather over a hundred people with a single call. The fat dude on the car, Leanman, runs Ueno and is strong as a beast. Hansen then steps up, explaining that he will be overseeing the fight and introducing himself as member of Ikebukuro Criminal Black Members. Chifuyu explains he is a someone big from the 1988 group and will be like a referee. Hansen then call the both groups and Toman and Valhalla appear. Manjiro thanks Hansen for agreeing to oversee the fight. Hansen states that if the fight sucks, he will be taking them both down. As representatives Ken and Kazutora are called. Hansen asks them if they will be fighting five-on-five with their best guys or an all-out melee with everyone. Ken states that Valhalla want this fight, so they must decide, but has one conditions - if they win, they will be taking Keisuke back. As Ken insist on that, Kazutora gets angry and knocks out Hansen, commenting that they haven't come here to play house or something, but to kill them all. The two gangs then run towards each other, starting the fight.
