Summary[]
Akashi reminisces about his past. When Black Dragon was the nation's most powerful gang, his position as the vice-captain earned him the nickname of the "God of War", as his tactical decisions determined the victory of Black Dragon. However, he knows he cannot take all the credit for Black Dragon's success.

Shinichiro's childhood kindness
In childhood, Akashi considered himself average, from academics to athletics. In contrast, his childhood friend, Shinichiro Sano, had a charismatic quality that attracted others to him. Akashi remembers a moment when Shinichiro stoop atop a jungle gym feeling the breeze of a "new era". Shinichiro's kindness was apparent, but he was an inept fighter who cried often. These qualities earned him the nickname "The Weak King".

Shinichiro appoints Akashi as vice-president
Later, Shinichiro's charisma extended to his former rivals, Benkei and Waka. Both gang leaders, and Akashi, formed Black Dragon alongside Shinichiro. His decision to appoint Akashi as vice-captain shocked and flattered Akashi.

Akashi revels in glory
During Black Dragon's reign, Akashi became arrogant, aghast at Shinichiro's decision to disband the gang. Shinichiro explained that their dominance would be akin to bullying those weaker than them. However, Akashi continued into gang life, with his time in Black Dragon giving leverage and power. After five years of lavish living, Akashi's influence declined, leaving him with debts from his lifestyle. During this time, Shinichiro died.[3]

Senju, Benkei, Waka, and Akashi create Brahman
Five years later, in 2006, his younger sister announces her resolve to fight Manjiro Sano of Tokyo Manji Gang. To do this, Senju decides to create her own gang. Benkei and Waka agree, marveling at Senju's strength. Senju gives her brother a senior role, citing her trust in his guidance. With no money and influence, Akashi is moved to tears by the group's faith and acceptance. He promises to dedicate his life to the new gang.

Akashi realizes he lost sight of Brahman's ideals
As Senju stands over an unconscious South, Akashi cries, realizing he underestimated her and lost sight of Brahman's founding ideals. He attributes recruiting Draken as a factor in losing his sister's trust. However, Senju disagrees: from allowing Akashi's rampage[4] to Draken's death,[5] she has failed as Brahman's leader. Defeating South is the only thing she can do now. Just then, South rises, declaring his exhilaration.
