The next day, Mikey walks into a hospital room to see the Shiba family and Baji, whose left hand is broken.

Mikey: "How did this happen?" (said worriedly)

Taiju: "The first generation... they already made their move."

Baji remains silent.

Mikey glances at Haakai, who is still resting on the bed.

Yuzuha: "The doctors said we can take him in a week."

Mikey: "Baji... where is Chifuyu? He was also with you, right?"

Baji: "... He's not in the mood to talk."

Mikey clenches his fist.

In the forest with Mansako and Izana, Izana is running with Mansako to a hill.

Izana: *panting* "Hey... old man, I like the way you train me, but why do I have to put on so much weight?"

Mansako: "Shut your mouth! If you keep it shut, you'll save a lot of energy for your next round."

Izana: "But why are you tying my hands? How can I grip the ground?"

Mansako: "Kids these days... *sigh*."

Izana: "Hey, say something!"

Time Skip...

Gitaro, defeated by Taiju, is returning to his place, his face covered in bandages.

Gitaro: "...!"

Gitaro sees a cop standing far away, but his eyes are staring at him; Gitaro can feel his gaze.

The cop walks towards Gitaro.

Masoto: "So, you are the Minato King's disciple."

Gitaro: "Who are you? What the heck is a cop doing with me?"

Masoto punches Gitaro in the gut, causing him to fall to the ground while clutching his stomach.

Gitaro: "Graah!!... Fuck! My stomach!" (thought)

Masoto: "You are such a disappointment to your teacher."

Masoto lights a cigarette.

Masoto: "Phew... You're really lucky that you met Taiju Shiba. If you had encountered the real leaders, you wouldn't be walking."

Gitaro: "W-what? Are there even stronger leaders than Taiju?" (said weakly)

Masoto: "Tell your teacher never to think about capturing Shibuya again because if he tries, I will personally intervene." (said with a smile)

Gitaro: "Who is he? How does he know about my master?" (thought) "Huh?! Don't tell me... you..." Gitaro's eyes widen after realizing it's Masoto. "You... the King of Shi-"

Masoto kicks Gitaro in the face to silence him.

Gitaro: "Ack!" (groans)

Masoto: "Shut up... So, your teacher also told you about the generations... huh... I see."

Gitaro: "Sir... I am honored to meet you, sir." Gitaro bows his head towards Masoto. (Weakly)

Masoto: "Sigh... Get out of here. I am really not in the mood for this shit."

Gitaro: "Thank you, sir... I am truly honored."

Gitaro stands and walks away, bowing one last time to Masoto.

Masoto: "... King... Hahaha, that's a straight joke on my face. Can't even imagine if my daughter were like this." (sighs) "What am I even thinking about? My precious daughter..." (mumbled)

Time skip...

In Nakano with Takemichi and Haru eating on the street after finishing their work.

Haru: "Sigh... I'm too tired. Aren't you?"

Takemichi remains silent.

Haru: "Hey, you don't have to cover your eyes with the goggles." (smirks)

Takemichi: "Shut up and ask him about our next location."

Haru: "You really are such a bore. By the way, what do you think of them? Do you think they'll be helpful?"

Takemichi: "In my opinion... yes. And I don't want to listen to your..."

Haru: "What! You bast-"

Haru sees a message on his phone about their next location, making him serious.

Takemichi: "What? What did he say?"

Haru: "Our next location is... Shibuya."

A wide smirk appears on Takemichi's face.

Takemichi: "That's... Really interesting." (smirks)

Haru: "..."
