Summary
Lying in bed, Takemichi begins to piece together what will happen: Hakkai will kill Taiju and merge the Black Dragons with Toman, resulting in the bad future he saw. However, he does not think he has to stop Hakkai from killing Taiju, as he concludes that the Black Dragons will be a threat regardless of the leader. Though he is overwhelmed by the thought of fighting Taiju and the Black Dragons, in addition to Kisaki, he remembers his resolve to save the future, believing he is the only one able to. Suddenly, Akkun asks Takemichi what he is mumbling about and Yamagishi remarks that it is creepy. Takemichi realizes that the two of them, along with Makoto and Takuya, are in his room, as they came in to check on him. Additionally, Takemichi realizes that the four of them have joined Toman under his division, and Chifuyu, who is also in his room, reminds Takemichi that he invited them to Toman himself.

Akkun, Yamagishi, Makoto, and Takuya speculate on the future, as the attack on Takemichi, a Toman captain, may start a conflict. Chifuyu says a possible conflict with the Black Dragons could be unprecedented, as the Black Dragons have been the top delinquent gang in the Kanto region for many generations, with the current tenth generation being the most maniacal and evil, which he attributes to the leadership of Taiju. Chifuyu reveals that Toman and the Black Dragons have an unbreakable bond, as Toman formed as a reaction to the Black Dragons: to help Kazutora fight the Black Dragons, the founders formed Toman to defeat the Black Dragons. However, the Black Dragons will be harder to defeat this time, as Taiju revamped the gang, from their uniforms to their discipline. Chifuyu says that Taiju sold the violence of the gang to obtain funds for this, and believes that a conflict with them would lead to casualties.

Takemichi tells his friends that they do not need to fight, as the conflict is only between himself and the Black Dragons, deciding that he will end the conflict on his own. Chifuyu tells Takemichi to come with him, and they ride on his motorcycle, which was from Baji. Takemichi suspects Chifuyu will tell him not to deal with the conflict alone, but Chifuyu simply tells him to have fun, as Baji did not leave Toman to him in order bring stress into Takemichi's life. Abruptly, Takemichi confesses that he came from the future.
