Now Watching Tokyo Revengers

Chapter 12.5: Zero

"I wonder what we will watch next," said Hina.

"Who knows but we'll find out soon," said Mikey.

"Let's get to the next viewing," said Jace.

['I was born in Shibuya's red-light district. Never knew my dad, my mom was a prostitute. When I was two years old, she disappeared,' thought Draken.
"Please sign here. You're a tall one, Kenny-boy,"
"I drink my milk every day," said Draken.
'I lived at a massage parlor,' thought Draken.
"Morning. Don't be late for school, Kenny."
"Want a BJ?"
'I was a fifth-year in elementary school,' thought Draken.
"Good morning!"
"Good morning! Ken-kun."
'I grew up surrounded by pink towels and the smell of lotion,' thought Draken.
"It's not Ken. It's Draken!" said Draken.]

"Wait, what's this," asked Izana.

"Ah, I think I know what this is," said Draken.

"Then what is it," asked Kakucho.

"This is when me and Ken-chin met for the first time," said Mikey.

["You sure you want this?" asked the tattoo artist.
"'course I do," said Draken.
"Let's get this done quick," said the tattoo artist.
"Just do it, man. Ow ow ow ow!!" said Draken.
"Quit whining, be a man. There all done," said the tattoo artist.
"Whoaaa!! Awesome!!" said Draken.
"Tatted up already in elementary school. He ain't gonna grow up right. It's gonna take a bit for the swelling to go down," said the tattoo artist.
"Thanks! I'm gonna show it off to everyone!" said Draken.
'I was bigger than all the nearby junior high students,' thought Draken.
"Raaaaagh!! I'm Ryuguji Ken from Fourth elementary! Call me Draken!! If you see this dragon, you better hide!!" said Draken.
'Even most junior high schoolers wouldn't screw with a fifth grader with a dragon tattoo,' thought Draken.]

"Is this also when you got you tattoo," asked Chifuyu.

"Yeah, it is. But I got the design from someone else," said Draken.

"Who then?" asked Hakkai.

"That would have been me," said Mitsuya.

["Hey, Ken. Don't you think you've been getting a little cocky lately?"
"It's to early for you to take on junior high kids!"
"You'll get you ass handed to you!"
'The Surmeyana group ruled the neighborhood,' thought Draken.
"My bad," said Draken.
'One time they stripped me to my underwear and beat me to shit. So I couldn't go against them,' thought Draken.
"Speaking of cocky, there's this kid from seventh elementary."
'Seventh elementary...grade five. Sano Manjiro, aka Mikey. He made a name for himself after beating the shit out of the leader of another biker gang, Vatican. What's with this kid?! Even I can't take on high schoolers, let alone strong ones. "Bring Mikey here." If I bring him to those guys, he's gonna get thrashed and that'll be the end. Before that, I want to try...fighting Mikey myself!' thought Draken.]

"Really you two," said Emma.

"What I didn't know what he was like just the stories about him. Don't worry we didn't fight," said Draken.

["Hey. You from seventh? I'm lookin' for Mikey. You seen him?" asked Draken.
"Oh, yeah, Mikey-kun was just...Ah! Mikey-kun."
"Huh?" said Draken.
"Hm? 'sup?" said Mikey.
'He's nothing like I imagined! I thought he'd be way bigger and beefier than me, a total monster. But he's tiny!! He's just some kid! Here he comes! What now?!' thought Draken.
"So...," said Mikey.
'Are we gonna fight?!' thought Draken.]

"I just have to say this. You were a cute kid back then Mikey," said Emma.

"I have to agree. He does look cute," said Hina.

["Y'know the fourty-eight basic positions? Same of 'em over lap, right?" said Mikey.
"Huh?" said Draken.
"I been watching, and I only seen fourty. What do you think?" said Mikey.
"Wh-what d'you mean? Like in sums? Or...? Uh...you're Mikey-kun, right?" asked Draken.
"Yup, that's me," said Mikey.
"My junior high senpai's calling for you," said Draken.
"Yeah?" said Mikey.
"It's okay if you don't want to...," said Draken.
"I'll go," said Mikey.
"Huh?" said Draken.
"If you want me to go, I'll go. Lemme drop my stuff at school," said Mikey.
'What a weirdo. He's throwin' me off. This little punk...is probably gonna get his ass beat in a second,' thought Draken.]

"Really you doubted me," said Mikey.

"What? Back then I had no idea what you could do then," said Draken.

["'Sup," said Draken.
"Hey."
"I brought him. This is Mi...Huh?" said Draken.
'In that instant...Mikey ran straight for Sameyama. Then he jumped,' thought Draken.
"You guys can't even act without a group. The hell do you want?" said Mikey.
'Sameyama's face got caved in. Mikey overwhelmed them all,' thought Draken.
"I'm from Seventh elementary. Call me Mikey-sama," said Mikey.
'Dude!! What a badass,' thought Draken.
"You're Draken from fourth elementary, right?" asked Mikey.
"Huh?" said Draken.
"Why you hanging out with these losers, though? You're cool, y'know. Be my friend, Ken-chin!!" said Mikey.
'That's how the Tokyo Manji gang's top two met,' thought Draken.]

"I did hear about this happening but not everyone involved," said Yamagishi.

"Looks like you were a bit hard there," said Emma.

"That was cool to watch," said Takemichi.

"You're right but now it's time to go back to the real stuff," said Akkun.

"We'll take a ten-minute break then we will watch the next viewing," said Jace.
