High commands: A lie called future

Later, in Draken's room, Takemichi looks at the photos of the gang and Ken reveals to him that they are all important people to him. He reveals that he knew it was wrong, but that he also wanted to kill Kazutora and thanks Takemichi for stopping Manjiro, as he himself could not. As they leave his house, Takemichi comments that he understands Ken, but since he also saw a picture of Emma, he knows for sure that he cares about her and encourages him to continue pursuing him.

In that moment, he sees Emma and how she runs to Manjiro, hugs him and tells him she loves him. Shocked, Takemichi starts to panic what will happen if Ken sees this and that this will be the end of Toman for sure. Hinata shows up and comments that there is indeed some mystery. Naoto explains they were shopping and saw Takemichi. Knowing that Emma likes Ken, Hinata wonders what is going on and decides to solve the mystery.

The three of them start following Emma and Manjiro around. Yamagishi ends up seeing Takemichi. After Takemichi explains the situation, Yamagishi states he heard rumors of Emma and how she had been seen numerous times leaving with Manjiro from his house. As it was always early in the morning, it means she was spending the night there. Hinata then concludes that Emma is two-timing them. She decides to confirm it, commenting that if its true, she would feel bad for Ken and confronts Emma and Manjiro, wondering what is going on. In that moment, Ken appears and shocks Takemichi.

As he approaches Emma and Manjiro, Takemichi believes this is the end, but then Draken laughs and comments that Manjiro is hanging out with his little sister on her birthday. Ken then tells Takemichi that Emma and Manjiro are siblings, from different mothers, shocking both Takemichi and Hinata. Emma states she told Hinata about it, but Hinata had completely forgotten and acts distracted with Yamagishi. Draken gives a present to Emma, a plush toy she wanted from the arcade. As they leave, Hinata hopes that Emma and Draken can work things out and hopes thinks work for them as well. After walking Hinata home, Takemichi receives a call from Mitsuya.

The next day, while waiting for Takashi, Peyan appears and asks him if Takashi has called him, but since he is busy, he will be the one to show him around. He takes him to the home economics room, The president, Mitsuya appears. Takemichi is surprised to see that Takashi is the president of a sewing club. He wonders what is going to be made soon and Peyan tells him that it is his jacket, and that it is the first jacket he personally makes outside for the original members. Takashi explains that he wanted to do it as a thank you for what Takemichi had done for them.

Next day, at Toman's gathering, Takemichi shows up with his new Toman jacket. Ken formally welcomes him to Toman and starts the meeting. Ken warns him that this is going to be an important meeting for him, so he must be prepared. Manjiro then shows up with Shuji Hanma and Chifuyu Matsuno.

Everyone in Toman is wondering what is Shuji Hanma doing there. Manjiro announces their win over Valhalla and thanks everyone for giving their all in the battle and lets Shuji say a few words. Shuji then explains that Valhalla didn't had a leader for a long time and after their defeat, they will fall under Toman and becoming part of it. Toman members are excited how big they are becoming and start cheering for Toman. Shuji also explains that someone brought the two gangs together and calls Tetta Kisaki. Takemichi starts to worry that Tetta will again manage to take over Toman and it may result in even more bad future.

Manjiro states that while they gained something from the battle, they lost Keisuke Baji and then leaves Chifuyu Matsuno to say a few words. Chifuyu explains he was planning on leaving Toman, but at Keisuke's grave, Manjiro asked him if he was going to blow out the flame of the 1st Division. Chifuyu thinks it will be too much for him to handle being the 1st Division Captain, thus he talked with Manjiro for days and finally they came to a conclusion.

Chifuyu himself is going to decide who he will follow and then calls Takemichi, wanting him to become the 1st Division Captain. Chifuyu believes that Keisuke wanted this and chose Takemichi. Recalling the future and all the promises he made, Takemichi starts to believe its not over yet and he still can change Toman, and then accepts.

Takemichi then goes to shake Naoto's hand and returns to the present. He finds himself in the DVD rental shop he worked, but the manager, Hasegawa approaches him and explains they didn't have what he wanted. Takemichi then sees his clothes expensive clothes and new hairstyle in the mirror. Exiting the shop, a guy Takemichi can't recognize waits for him and tells him to come in the car. In the car, the guy tells him they are going to Takemichi's place by Takemichi's order, which surprises him as his apartment isn't in that direction. Wondering what to do, he decides to call Naoto, but realizes he doesn't have his phone number. As they arrive and Takemichi comes out of the care, more scary guys greet Takemichi, but feels he had seen two of them. One of them complains they are slow and tells Kazushi Yamagishi he had to keep Takemichi in line. Kazushi explains they were late due to Takemichi wanting to visit the DVD store, making Takemichi realize the guy was Kazushi. Takemichi also realizes the two other guys are Makoto Suzuki and Takuya Yamamoto, His best friends from 2005.

As they get in to the building and everyone calling him boss, looking how luxurious it is, Takemichi wonders if he got into a winning future. Reaching his apartment, he sees Chifuyu waiting for him, who tells him that the upper echelon is having a meeting and they need to go. Takemichi can't understand what is going on and Chifuyu reminds him he is Tokyo Manji Gang's top exec. Going on to the meeting, 

Takemichi sees unfamiliar faces, but recognizes Pah-chin, who comments that not everyone is there yet. Takemichi also recognizes Yasuhiro Muto from 5th Division and Nahoya Kawata Captain of the 4th Division. He sees new faces as Hakkai Shiba, Seishu Inui and Hajime Kokonoi. As Pah-chin wants more food, the old Toman members get in an argument with the younger ones with Seishu Inui commenting that they are bringing money to Toman, while the old-timers are just lazying around. Chifuyu is annoyed and comments they are ex-Black Dragon members. Shuji didn't want to discuss the treasury funds, and explains that Hajime's IT business, Hakkai's cover business and few others were searched by the cops three days ago, which should mean there is a traitor among them. Pah-chin doesn't believe there is a traitor, but Hajime states there is no other explanation. As they argue and insult each other, Tetta Kisaki comes and everyone bows and greets him. 

While its a rare for him to show up on those meetings, he explains he had something to take care and then approaches Takemichi and requests to speak with him and Chifuyu.

Going in another room, Tetta asks them if they hate him and recalls its was around 12 years ago, when Keisuke died and it was all his fault. Tetta confess that he arranged the Bloody Halloween and used Shuji to sweet-talk Kazutora and form Valhalla. He then made the gangs fight as he wanted power and praise. Tetta explains he didn't intend to kill Keisuke and apologizes to Chifuyu. He is fine if they keep hating him, but want to take a toast to Keisuke. As they drink, Tetta then confess that he actually lied and used Kazutora to kill Keisuke and is about to finish what he started. Takemichi's head the starts to spin and he looses consciousness...
