Mikey, did you gather everyone at the shrine?

Yeah. More importantly, how's your new junior high?

Yeah...

Baji 12 Years Old

Boring as hell.

No one's got any real guts.

Mikey 12 Years Old

If I went to your junior high, I'd make sure you were never bored.

Also, having a motorcycle is awesome.

This is a GSX250E, right? Surprised you managed to fix 'er up.

Yeah! It took a while,

but I found a bunch of people who could get me used parts.

My GSX250E is the best in Tokyo!

What? The best in Tokyo?

My Zephyr's the best in Japan, though.

Draken 13 Years Old

Hey, hey, hey, now. I ain't gonna pretend I didn't hear that shit.

My Impulse is the best in the world, my friend.

Mitsuya 13 Years Old

Y'all think too small.

Yeah, yeah, yeah! Why bother fighting when you guys are still stuck in gravity?

It's suffocating.

My Rocket's the best in the whole damn universe.

Kazutora 12 Years Old

What? You little shits finally grew some pubes?

Huh? Look who's talkin'.

Huh? I've had more than all of you since fifth grade.

I'm getting sleepy...

Huh? How about I burn 'em and give you a friggin' perm?

Huh?

Pah-chin 12 Years Old

My CBX400F's the best.

Let's race to the shrine!

Hey, wait! That's dirty, Pah!

Hey! Pah, you damn cheater!

Bring it on!

Whoever's last is gonna get punished.

Hey! Why the hell are you asleep, Mikey?!

You're gonna fall, you dumbass! Wake up!

Damn it...

We finally made it.

And you're last.

Slowpoke.

That's not my fault! He was passed the hell out! The whole time!

Excuses much?

Pretty lame, dude.

Wait, why?!

Huh? We here?

What did you want to talk to everyone about, Mikey?

Have you ever heard of the Black Dragons?

I heard that they're brutal as hell. Three years older than us, right?

Yeah.

Why didn't you talk to us, Kazutora?

Baji told me.

You've been fighting the Black Dragons on your own, haven't you?

What?! Kazutora got into it with the Black Dragons?! No way!

I guess Kazutora lives in the Black Dragons' turf.

I see.

Wait, are you planning to throw down with the Black Dragons, Mikey?

Yup.

The Black Dragons are huge.

If we're gonna do this, we need a good reason.

I've got an idea.

Let's start our own gang.

Huh?

A gang? Us?

Yeah!

Huh, that sounds pretty awesome!

We've already got everyone's positions figured out.

Our commander's gonna be our most powerful in the universe, the cocky little shit, Mikey!

You're gonna make me blush.

Our vice commander's gonna be our dependable big bro, Draken.

Our mediator, Mitsuya, is gonna command our elite guard.

Our powerhouse Pah-chin will carry our banner.

You and I will be the attack unit, Kazutora!

But... you sure you wanna go through with this just like that?

I've already decided on our gang's name.

What? What is it, dude?

Tokyo Manjiro Gang

The Tokyo Manjiro Gang!

Lame!

I don't know about that stupid name, but I'm down to start a gang.

Hm? Ken-chin?

It's true that if we were in a gang,

it'd be a good reason to fight the Black Dragons, even though that name sucks.

You're so mean!

A gang, huh? That's super exciting! But the name sucks.

You guys suck!

Well, then, it's settled!

We're giving all of ourselves to you.

Create this new age, Mikey.

Yeah.

What kind of gang do you wanna have?

Hm... Let's see...

A gang where we can all risk our lives for each other.

That's the kind of gang I want.

Yeah.

Let's all buy some charms to commemorate this!

Good idea.

Let's go!

Hey, wait!

Which one should I get?

Hey, hurry up! They're gonna run out.

Traffic Safety

Traffic Safety

Damn, they're expensive.

313 yen.

50 yen.

100 yen.

15 yen!

25 yen.

32 yen...

Seriously, guys? None of us can afford one.

Oh, but hey.

If we all pitch in, we'll be able to buy one.

Traffic Safety

You hold on to it, Baji.

Yeah. You're the reason we formed this gang.

Good idea.

Take care of it for us.

Yeah.

Yeah!

I'll take good care of it!

Traffic Safety

That's the charm.

I'm not the one who created Toman.

It was Baji.

If someone's hurt, we all protect them.

We wanted to be a gang that protected each other.

That's what kind of gang we are.

Baji-kun... was fighting on his own... this whole time.

All to keep that promise.

I'm sorry, Baji.

Popo's here.

We're leaving, boys.

Yes, sir.

Let's get outta here! Scatter! Scram!

I'm gonna stay with Baji. All of you, get out of here.

Kazutora-kun...

I did this.

I want to be the one to settle it.

All right.

Let's get outta here, Toman!

Right!

Mikey...

I can't ask you to forgive me. Not about Shinichiro-kun...

or Baji.

But I'll carry that burden the rest of my life.

On October 31st, 2005,

150 members of the Tokyo Manji Gang fought 300 members of Valhalla.

The conflict that ended in Toman's victory resulted in one death and one arrest.

And eventually, that conflict

would be called the Bloody Halloween.

2 Weeks Later

Baji Family Grave

I bought you some like I promised, Baji-san.

Chifuyu...

I could sure go for some Peyang yakisoba right now.

Let's split it, okay?

That's what happened when we first met, too.

Peyang Sauce Yakisoba

We split it.

Baji Family Grave

16th Graduating Class Entrance Ceremony

Starting today, all of you will be students at this school for the next three years,

and will do your best in academics and club activities.

We hope that you will grow with many others

and leave here greater and more dignified than when you first came.

Matsuno Chifuyu 12 Years Old

I have a hard time respecting my elders, Senpai.

Because I'm the most important guy here.

You're so awesome, Chifuyu!

The senpais don't intimidate you at all!

Chifuyu could probably take over the whole country!

You dumbass. I ain't interested in that shit.

The older delinquents are all lame, anyway.

That's why being a delinquent doesn't catch on.

Hey, Chifuyu! I've got big news!

There's a guy in Class 3 that got held back!

And he's only a first-year!

Wait, you can get held back in junior high?

Right?! He's gotta be some insane delinquent!

N a k a k i

I s h i d a

Why though

Yeah...

All right.

Guess I'll take care of him before he gets too big for his britches.

Of course this dude's not satisfied unless he's on top!

Which one of you is Baji Keisuke?

What? It's him?!

That's him?

Yeah.

The four-eyes with the slicked-back hair?

Yeah.

How the hell did that guy get held back?

I'm betting 100 yen that he was being used as an errand boy and stopped coming to school.

100 on he's too much of a shut-in.

100 on he said, "Who needs school?" and stopped coming.

This is stupid.

I'm out.

I see. So that's what that means.

Huh?

Who are you?

Matsuno Chifuyu from Class 1.

Matsuno... Chifuyu?

Hey, nerd. What the hell's this supposed to be?

"Tora." Tiger.

It's wrong.

No way!

What? That's so weird...

Tiger, tiger, tiger...

Why the hell are you dressed like that when you can't even write "tiger"?

Tiger!

...back again.

Huh?

I can't get held back again. It'd make my mom cry.

So serious.

Tora

This is "tiger."

You're a good guy.

So what's that you've been writing?

A...

A letter.

Huh?! You've got a pen pal? Gross.

Shut the hell up! It's none of your damn business! I'll murder you!

Okay, foul mouth.

Shut up, dumbass.

Hey, you got this one wrong, too.

Huh? Seriously?!

What're you spacin' out for?

Chifuyu!

Oh, I'm just curious about that nerd.

Huh? Why?

You'll forget about him by tomorrow.

Hey, Matsuno.

Hey, jackass! Who the hell do you think you are, punting around my precious kohai?

This guy's the commander of the motorcycle gang, Mandala.

You're finished now. That's what you get for defying us, Matsuno.

We're definitely gonna beat some manners and respect into you today, boy.

Ow!

Oh, my bad. I was trying to greet you, and I hit you instead.

Ambushing one guy as a group? Motorcycle gang, my ass.

How lame.

I'll kill you!

Who the hell do you think you are?!

Yeah, I'm not gonna be able to do much on my own...

I'll crack your damn head open.

Shit...

Fighting one kid with a huge group? And armed? How lame can you be?

Who the hell are you?!

Nerd!

Hey! I managed to get that letter out! Thanks again!

You hear me?! Huh?!

To thank you, I'll help you out.

You dumbass! You shouldn't be here...

You little shit!

Huh? One blow?

Who are you?

I'm Tokyo Manji Gang's 1st Division Captain,

Baji Keisuke!

No way... He took them all out by himself?

Listen up, assholes!

If one of our guys gets hurt,

we come after you with everything we've got to crush you.

Remember that. This guy's my friend.

The next time you lay a finger on him...

I'm gonna crush your whole gang!

Y-Yes, sir...

Chifuyu...

Huh?

You like Peyang yakisoba?

Huh? Uh...

This is the first person I ever showed respect to.

Y-Yes, sir.

I live up on the fifth floor here. Stop by.

Wait, really?! I live on the second floor.

What the hell? We live in the same building.

Yes!

The first person I thought was cool, and the first person I decided to follow,

was Baji Keisuke.

I'm home.

Huh?! We only have one left! Mom!

I-I don't really need one...

Hm...

Peyang Yakisoba

Let's split it.

Baji Family Grave

Baji-san...

Thanks...

Chifuyu.

Don't thank me... That's not fair.

Peyang Sauce Yakisoba

What the hell am I supposed to do now?

Baji Family Grave

Tokyo Juvenile Detention Center

I was told to expect at least ten years.

Is that even enough?

I'm not going to run away anymore. I need to face what I've done.

He taught me that.

So...

This time, I plan to actually better myself.

Don't die, Kazutora.

How...

I know exactly what you're thinking.

I'll never forgive you if you take your own life to try to make amends.

But I just... don't know what else...

I can do.

I've got a message from Mikey.

Huh?

"You're still...

a part of Toman."

This is what you wanted me to do, right,

Baji?

"I forgive you."
