Takemichi shot up back in his old bed. He heard the kitchen and his mom yelling for him to get up. He changed and brushed, leaving the hair and ran to his now high school.

"You're kidding me! High schoooool?!"

"Takemitchy!"

Next to his locker were his friends from Mizo. Yamagishi grew his hair out while Takuya cut it short. The other two remained the same. He was about to say something but then an arm made its way onto his shoulder.

"Yo Takemichi! Have you studied for the final exams yet?"

He had a scar on his lip with longer hair and that voice was awfully familiar. Takemichi backed away completely confused as to who he was and why was he being so friendly with him.

"Mannn, the moment I sat in the chair, I felt like dozing off."

"That's Hakkai for ya! Despite the new look he still can't help himself can he?"

"Hakkai?!"

"What ya starin for Takemitchy? Sick or something? Let's go!"

Takemichi was still in a bit of a daze to see his friends having grown up a bit from middle school. When classes were over he ran and found Chifuyu resting in an empty classroom.

"Chifuyu!"

"Hey. Takemitchy."

Chifuyu leaned back on a chair reading a new manga. Takemichi was so happy to see him again. He teared up thinking about what he was gonna tell him about the future. It was overwhelming for him.

"Chifuyu! I, I fought with Mikey from the future and fell off a bowling alley and ended up here!"

"Wait. You're Takemitchy from the future?!"

"Here I am!"

"I see."

"But, I promised that I'd save him. And them too."

"What are you guys talking abought?"

They froze. Someone else just heard their entire conversation alluding to time travel. A head popped up behind a desk. 

"Izumi?!"

"Hi!"

Izumi smiled back at the shocked blondes. he was napping when he heard voices an woke up.

"Uh, I-I can explain!"

Elsewhere Koko was stomping on some poor sod beneath him. Sanzu leaned on another body smirking as he enjoyed the view. Their boss of the Kantou Manji Gang took out at least one hundred members of a weak gang that tried to challenge them.

Mikey blinked and held up his right hand which pushed Takemichi off the building. He grinned rather menacingly. Mikey had felt a spark and knew.

"You're back, Takemitchy."

And along with this new gang comes new characters and conflicts in its final arc.

"That's so cool Takemichi!"

Izumi beamed at him. Takemichi and Chifuyu explained it all. It made sense seeing how mature Takemichi was at times and seemingly knew certain events would happen before it did. Kisaki was mentioned as the antagonizer which surprised him.

"Really? Tetta's so nice though. We hang out a lot."

"Be careful around Kisaki Izumi. He's really dangerous and who knows what he's concocting next."

"Okay."

He nodded but Chifuyu wasn't sure if Izumi would actually heed the warning. Takemichi resumed their previous conversation.

"Since Mikey pushed me off the building I don't know if I can go back."

"What do you mean? Mikey's the trigger now isn't he?"

"Not necessarily. I went back the moment I died I think. When I hit the ground, there was the flash and I was in my bed at home."

"You make a good point."

"Speaking of Mikey, what's he up to now?"

Chifuyu looked down. So Takemichi looked at Izumi but he wasn't too sure either.

"I've been spending some time with Shinichiro, and Emma of course. Mikey isn't around the dojo as often and I feel like he's avoiding us."

"I see."

He thanked the two and went to find Yamagishi, the Walking Delinquent Wikipedia so he could explain it to the 3. Yamagishi was surprised that Takemichi was interested in the delinquent workings and information from him.

"Alright! It's been 2 years since Toman has officially been dissolved. Thus! Power has been redistributed around Tokyo!"

Takemichi had a little notebook like Deku and was dutifully taking notes. Izumi curled up to Chifuyu and listened intently. Since he rarely knew much about delinquents and their world, this was all fascinating to him. Yamagishi continued with his little lesson.

"After the disbandment, many gangs tried to claim the title but loss again and again! This is known as the Sengoku Period!"

That went down on the paper. 

"And during that time, three charismatic individuals rose up! They ended the chaos and civil war of gangs!"

"Three?"

He nodded and pushed up his glasses.

"In Minato Ward with the greatest power and influence, Terano South of Tokuhara Tandai! Shinjuku Ward's strongest shadow gang, Brahma with its boss Kawaragi Senju! And last but not least! Shibuya Ward's invincible Kantou Manji Gang with Sano Manjiro leading them! The Era of the 3 Deities!"

"Two other people are on the same level as Mikey?"

Yamagishi kept talking but Takemichi started to zone out. It didn't make sense. Why disband Toman and create another gang? Izumi felt that he heard that last name somewhere. Kawaragi. He realized that was Haru's last name too.

Odd. Haru never mentioned having siblings. Or did he? It was too old to try and remember. Yamagishi stopped when he saw that neither boy was listening to him. Chifuyu waved his arm.

"Takemitchy! Spacin out already?"

"Ahaha sorry."

"You must be thinking about Mikey right? But there's a certain someone you need to make up with."

"Huh? Who?"

Izumi also left in a bit of a daze. He HAD to talk to Haru about this Senju character. He honestly couldn't remember him having any older or younger siblings. He thanked Chifuyu and Yamagishi.

Takemichi found Hina's school and caught her as she was leaving like everyone else. He got on his knees and bowed, head to the ground.

"I'm sorry Hina! I bailed on our wedding and died!"

"Takemichi?! You're back?"

Students stopped and stared at the strange boy who came to apologize to attractive girl. Hina made him get up and the two quickly left.

"You know Hina, in the end it doesn't matter until I can save Mikey."

"Yeah. But, let's say you go back and end up with another horrible future."

"Wha-"

"Even if that happens, I will always cheer you on."

Takemichi smiled and embraced her, grateful to know that Hina would always be here for him.
