Kakucho slaps away the gun
Upon seeing Izana point a gun at Mikey, Takemichi calls out, telling Izana that using a gun is cheap; with empty eyes, Izana absently says that losing the fight gives him nothing to lose. Izana tells Mikey to die, but Mikey is unfazed, egging on Izana by telling him to shoot. An anxious Draken implores Mikey to be careful, as Izana seems serious. Mikey continues, screaming at Izana to shoot. Just then, Kakucho slaps the gun out of Izana's hand, telling Izana to accept Tenjiku's loss. This is surprising to all, as Kakucho is Izana's most loyal underling. Angrily, Izana demands if Kakucho, his servant, is giving advice to him, a king.

Izana gives Kakucho a purpose
In a flashback, Kakucho is playing with dirt outside, when Izana approaches him, complimenting him on his scar. When asked what he is making with the dirt, Kakucho responds that he is making his parents' grave, as they died in an accident, giving him his scar. He tells Izana to leave him alone, as Izana will get bullied for associating with him. Suddenly, Izana kicks over Kakucho's dirt, telling him to forget about the people who died, as they are not around to protect him, making his life worthless. He tells Kakucho that he will give his life value by being his king; Kakucho will become his servant. Thinking back to this, Kakucho attributes Izana to giving his life value.

Kakucho shot by Kisaki
Kakucho tells Izana that he fights for him and will be willing to die for him; since he does not want to see Izana in this deranged state, he implores Izana to stop. Izana tells Tenjiku's executives to kill Kakucho, but they do not move. Shaking Izana, Kakucho tells him that none of Tenjiku's members can will their battle, loudly repeating that Tenjiku lost. As Izana screams for him to shut up, Kisaki suddenly shoots Kakucho in the chest, remarking that he is annoying.
