Takemichi finds out about Keisuke and Kazutora's past and realizes how hard it's going to be to bring Keisuke back to Toman. The next day, Takemichi was trying to figure out what to do about his promise to Manjiro when Keisuke's second in command, Chifuyu Matsuno appears before him. Chifuyu seems to believe that Keisuke joined Valhalla not to crush Toman, but to infiltrate Valhalla and expose Tetta Kisaki.

Summary
After explaining what happened in the past, Keisuke says that he avoided juvie thanks to Kazutora defending him and have been waiting for Kazutora to get out. Hearing the story, Shuji immediately accepts Keisuke and gives him a Valhalla jacket. Shuji then tells Takemichi to tell Manjiro that that Toman and Valhalla's fight will occur on October 31st, in an abandoned car lot.

Later in bed, Takemichi thinks about the upcoming battle and that there is no way for him to bring Keisuke back. The next day, while heading towards school, Takemichi wonders what he will tell Manjiro. A beaten up guy calls him to come and sit on the swings with him, but Takemichi doesn't recognize him and decides to continue. The guy then mentions Keisuke and that he is Chifuyu Matsuno, 1st Division Vice Captain. Takemichi then realizes its the guy that Keisuke was beating yesterday. Chifuyu tells him he should be thankful of Keisuke as Takemichi ruined the new 3rd Division Captain ceremony and if it wasn't Keisuke, he would have gotten it worse. Chifuyu then explains that Keisuke beat him to join Valhalla, but not to defeat Toman, but expose Tetta Kisaki.

Takemichi and Chifuyu go meat with Manjiro and Ken at Shinichiro's grave. Ken and Manjiro explain that they are aware that Keisuke and Kazutora didn't intend to kill his brother, but Manjiro's heart still can't accept it. Manjiro explains that they tried to steal his brother's bike and give it to Manjiro as birthday present and the bike is all he had left of his brother. Manjiro had forgiven Keisuke, but he will never forgive Kazutora for killing his brother or Keisuke for going over to Kazutora's side. Manjiro wonders why Takemichi brought up Keisuke's vice captain and not Keisuke, and what he wants to do.

Takemichi recalls his earlier conversation with Chifuyu, who explains that even though Keisuke haven't said it himself, he knows him and knows that he is investigating Tetta Kisaki and requests Takemichi's help for them to investigate Tetta as well. Chifuyu then asks Takemichi what he wanted to do when he attacked Tetta during the ceremony. Recalling his the promise he made, Takemichi tells Manjiro that he wants to become the head of Toman and he will make Manjiro acknowledge that someday. As they leave, Chifuyu offers Takemichi that he will help him become Toman's head if he helps him with Tetta. Takemichi wonders if Chifuyu believes he can become the head of Toman, but Chifuyu doesn't believe it, but will still help him. Takemichi agrees and they shake hands sealing their their new partnership.

To find a connection between Valhalla and Tetta Kisaki, Chifuyu decides they go visit Nobutaka Osanai. Nobutaka tells them that when he first met Tetta, he thought he was a dull brat. Tetta offered him to join him and he will help him take over Tokyo. Nobutaka ended up doing what Tetta told him and in a year he went from a moron who could only fight to the commander who ruled Shinjuku. Nobutaka realized he was just a stepping stone during the battle on August 3rd. Tetta Kisaki had planned everything and pushed Pah-chin to create a reason to fight with Toman and led Nobutaka take all the blame. After Nobutaka was stabbed, Tetta told him he didn't like how he do things and got closer to Manjiro telling him he can prove Pah-chin's innocence. Tetta intended to kill Ken and take the number two spot in Toman. After abandoning him, Tetta now has a new "sword" and that is Shuji Hanma. Chifuyu wonders why Nobutaka haven't taken Tetta out by now. Nobutaka comments that if he was just good fighter or little cunning, he would have done it. But Tetta is bad news and will try killing someone without getting his hands dirty. As Nobutaka is afraid of what Tetta could do, he decided to not be dealing with him. Chifuyu realizes that Tetta Kisaki is Valhalla's leader. Takemichi wonders what to do and decides to return to the present.

In the present, Takemichi takes Naoto and they go visit Ken. Takemichi asks Ken if he remembers Valhalla and if they leader is Tetta Kisaki, however, Ken denies it and states the Valhalla leader is Manjiro. He proceeds to explain that Valhalla was a gang put together for Manjiro. Takemichi can't believe it as Manjiro is the head of Toman. Ken then tells him to recall the Bloody Halloween twelve year ago, when Toman was taken out by Valhalla and the new Tokyo Manji Gang was created with Valhalla as its parent organization. Takemichi is surprised that Toman lost with the invincible Manjiro, but Ken states they lost because of Manjiro. On that day, Manjiro ended up killing Kazutora.
