Just a dream...

Hawaii Singapore

WELCOME

Nin zai xunzhao xianggang de hangban ma? (Are you looking for flights to Hong Kong?)

Umm... yes.

Oh, you're Japanese!

Right now, this is the best price you can get on tickets to Hong Kong.

150,000 yen...

Ryo-san?

I see.

Flights to Hong Kong really aren't cheap, huh?

Yep.

Oh, I know!

Ryo-san, take this.

Consider it a going-away present.

Fuku-san! Thank you!

Even with all this, I'm still coming up short...

Yo bro!

I know you...

The name's Goro! Glad you remember me, bro!

Since when am I your "bro"?

Well, that's just my way of showing respect.

It's not everyday that I get to rub shoulders with a big-shot!

Big-shot?

Jiu Feng Co.

You bet!

Anyone who works for the Jiu Feng Company is a big-shot in my book!

I'm Goro Mihashi and I'm totally at your service, bro!

If you need anything, just say the word!

Actually, I need some quick cash.

Cash, huh?

Sure thing, bro! I'll grab a kid off the street and jack him up...

Stop.

Not like that.

Can you maybe find me a job near here instead?

A job?

You bet I can!

I know everybody who's anybody around these parts!

Port Messhall

What?

A part-time job at the port?

Yeah. Know anything good for some quick cash?

Mai-chan, you're friends with this guy?

Uh-huh. More or less.

Huh? You know her too, bro?!

This chick was getting' into all kinds of trouble,

until I came along and straightened her right out!

Ouch!

You didn't do diddly squat!

Oh, I know.

I get loads of customers from

this place called the Alpha Trading Company and they're looking for help.

I heard your story. You're Ryo, the Hazuki kid, right?

Well, how about it? Can you start right away?

Yes, sir. Thank you for the opportunity.

Okay, you've gotta learn the ropes first.

Hey, Mark! Mark!

Yes, boss?

Hazuki-kun here just signed up with us. Teach him how to work a forklift, would ya?

Okay, boss.

This is Mark.

If you have any questions, then he's your man.

Right.

Good to meet you.

Follow me.

Safety First

That covers all the basics.

Figure the rest out for yourself.

That's it?

I think I'm starting to get the hang of it.

Hey! Kid from Alpha Trading!

Bring that one over here!

Sure.

Whoa! What's your problem?!

There are fragile goods inside there!

Sorry about that.

Thanks for helping me today.

Sure.

Yo bro!

How's the new job going? Gonna land a fat paycheck?

Too early to say.

Hurry and get that money rolling in, so we can have a wild party, bro!

So, why'd you drop by?

I thought I'd show you around the neighborhood!

Show me around?

Yup!

This here is Mad Angels territory, so you gotta tread pretty lightly.

Mad Angels...

C'mon, bro! Don't worry about it and let me take you on a tour!

Whether it's for taking a break or taking a piss,

I know all the best places to chill around Shin Yokosuka Port!

Man, dig that view!

Got the whole ocean out there while you take a whizz!

Hm? What's that?

It's kind of a message board.

When guys discover a vacant warehouse, they jot it down here.

Then everybody can gather up and hang out! You should come by next time!

Thanks, but I'll pass.

You gotta be more chill.

Anyways, follow me 'cuz we got even more to see!

No matter what happens, I'll always be my father's son!

What is it, Guizhang?

Shouldn't I still be tailing Ryo Hazuki, as his bodyguard?

You know as well as I do.

That was just a cover to allow you to keep tabs on him.

Now that he's discovered the phoenix mirror,

we can't afford to get involved any further.

It would only escalate tensions.

Our hands are tied.

Right.

Although, it is a shame to fail Yuanda Zhu...

Oops.

HAZUKI

A job?

Yes. He just started yesterday at a place

in the warehouse district in Shin Yokosuka Port.

If there's anything you'd like to tell him, I'll pass it along.

Uh, no, that's okay.

I'll stop by again.

Skipping class and starting a job this late in the school year...?

Have a good one.

Bro!

Cheers to a day of honest work!

Here, this is for you!

Oh, thanks.

Hey. Why are you being so helpful to me?

Well, ya see, when I was real little my pops said he'd go

grab some cigs and never came back. And so...

I hardly remember what he was even like.

Truth be told, I really wanted to get to know my dad.

But I didn't have the guts to go out and find him.

I'm actually a big wuss, man!

I knew that much.

I'm sorry. For real, bro!

I heard all about what happened to your dad from Mai.

Mai told you?

You had it way worse than me,

but you didn't just throw in the towel and give up.

You're so badass, bro!

So, I got to thinking. I gotta do what I can for this guy.

Then maybe one day, I'd grow the balls I need to go out and find my own dad!

I had no idea.

Anyways, I wanna see you continue on your journey, bro!

Crap, sorry! I didn't mean to bring you down or nothin'...

One of these days, please let me visit your dad's grave!

Could I ask you to do me a favor, first?

You name it! Anything within my power, bro!

What would I have to do to meet with the Mad Angels?

The Mad Angels?! What the hell for?!

They're connected to my father's death.

I can't help you with the Mad Angels!

If I crossed them, they'd drive me out of Yokosuka for good, man!

Back to playing bodyguard? I thought you guys were through with me.

Not exactly.

The Swallow Dive.

It's a technique that I am prepared to teach you here and now.

Why teach me?

Because I failed to answer your question.

If I were in your shoes... I'd do exactly the same.

Some kid's started working on our turf?

Yes. And it turns out he's the same one who jacked Charlie up.

All right. That settles it.

Hazuki-kun!

Harasaki...

You were waiting for me this whole time? I'm sorry.

Don't be, it's fine.

Anyways, I heard that you got a part-time job. Is it true, Hazuki-kun?

Yeah.

I'd like to hear why, if you're willing to share.

I had no idea...

So you've been searching for the truth behind

what happened to your father all this time.

Yeah.

Are you worried?

Yes.

I'm sorry.

But...

I believe that you should do whatever you think is right, Hazuki-kun!

Harasaki...

Oh yeah, wasn't there some advice you wanted from me?

Huh? Advice?

Oh no! It's totally fine!

Everything's okay...

So then, Nozomi-chan.

What are you going to do about your father's proposal?

What do you think I should do, Grandma?

If you moved away to Canada, I would really hate to see you go.

But thinking about what's best for you,

I know that you should be together with your parents.

The Next Day Yokosuka Port

Switch with me, Ryo.

I'll fix that up for you.

Huh?

Hello!

Oh, welcome in!

Feel free to have a look around.

Goro-chan, who in the world has got you buying flowers?

It's for my bro. I need flowers to put on his dad’s grave.

Your bro? You mean Ryo-niichan?

What?

You can't just call him that! You're not family!

As if it matters.

That's just how I've always known him, as the Hazuki Dojo kid, Ryo-niichan!

You don't get how big of a deal he is!

He's about to take on some serious baddies by himself,

all to get to the bottom of his dad's murder!

What baddies?

The Mad Angels, honey!

What are the Mad Angels?

Huh? Who're you?

That's Nozomi-chan. She's a classmate of Ryo-niichan's.

What did you mean when you said Hazuki-kun is going to "take them on"?

Y-y-you didn't hear it from me!

I didn't say nothin' about them being the worst thugs in all of Yokosuka!

Or about bro getting totally creamed by them!

Nozomi-chan, could you make a delivery to Saijo-san's bar for me?

Oh, uh, of course.

Hey. Why'd you suddenly start teaching me properly?

Tomorrow is another early day. Get yourself home.

You know that kid who joined your crew recently? The one named Hazuki!

Bring his punk ass down here!

I... I've never heard of him!

Don't bullshit us!

C'mon! Dammit!

Mark!

Ryo! Run for it!

Did he say "Ryo"?

Well, I'll be damned.

Let's get the hell outta here.

S-shit...!

Are you okay, Mark?

Thank you, Ryo.

Were those guys...?

Members of the Mad Angels.

I knew it!

But wait, why did you stand up for me?

Because you remind me of myself.

At first, I thought you were just another kid looking

for some quick cash to goof around with.

But you're not, are you?

I didn't come here just to earn money, either.

I came to find my little brother. I heard that he joined the Mad Angels.

Thanks as always for your order.

Oh, you're on delivery duty today, Nozomi-chan?

That's right. Sorry to keep you waiting.

I appreciate it.

The Mad Angels?

Yeah. I need to get my fix.

Keep that on the DL, man.

Follow me.

Barkeep! We're peacing out.

Thanks for the drinks!

Sure. Thanks for stopping in.

So, what are "the Mad Angels", anyway?

What're you talking about?

That guy just mentioned the nam-

Dunno.

You're lying! You must know.

I'm trying to get information that will help Hazuki-kun.

Please, just tell me what you can.

All I can say is this.

They're not the kind of guys that a girl like you should be trying to dig up dirt on.

Is that where... the Mad Angels hang out?

Hey good lookin'.

You need something from us?

I'm home.

Welcome home, Ryo-san.

Were you out with Harasaki-san, by chance?

Nope.

What's going on with Harasaki?

Well...

Aida-san called just a little earlier.

She said that Nozomi-san never came back

after she went out to make a delivery.

Are you serious?!

Are you Ryo Hazuki?

Who's asking?!

The Mad Angels.

Get your ass to warehouse number 17.

Warehouse number 17?

Better show up.

Or we give the girl something to cry about.

Girl?

Did you bastards kidnap Harasaki?!

Don't keep Terry waiting!

Later, sucker!

Dammit!

I'm taking this for a spin.

Hazuki-kun!

Harasaki!

You've got some balls, kid.

Thinking you can survive with the Mad Angels breathing down your neck.

You must be Terry.

So, jackass, you got a bone to pick with us or what?

Did those damn Chens send you?

I've got nothing to do with Master Chen.

I'm after the man called Lan Di and that's it.

The Chi You Men, seriously?

Going straight for the head of the cobra, aren't ya?

Whatever, just let the girl go!

We'll give you the girl, but only after you've proven that

you don't pose a threat to us.

Prove how?

Send Chen's son swimming with the fishes.

Guizhang?

Do that and I'll be convinced you're not in cahoots with them.

But the girl's gonna stay with us until you finish the Chen boy.

Harasaki...

Hazuki-kun!

They want me to take out Guizhang?

How else can I get Harasaki out of this?

Yo, what's the holdup?

I wanna see you continue on your journey, bro!

I believe that you should do whatever you think is right, Hazuki-kun!

C'mon! What's the problem, kid?

I need to take a leak first.

And let you give us the slip?

If you're so worried, then just watch me.

Hazuki. What do you want?

Guizhang!

You and I are going to have a fight!

What?

Hazuki! Why on ear-?!

Don't say anything!

Fine.

Then you give me no choice.

It's started!

Swallow Dive!

Now Yokosuka is mine for the taking!

Equal

Next Time: "Equal."
