Synopsis of Season 2 Episode 2
Takemichi encounters Hakkai and his sister Yuzuha while they are passing the time and having fun together in a bowling alley. Hakkai, seeing that Takemichi does not know him, explains that he is Mitsuya’s vice-captain of Toman’s second division. Yuzuha joins in, expressing a desire to depart, but Hakkai demands that they play 10 more times before they can consider themselves pleased. One day, Takemichi will learn to identify Hakkai, the future 11th leader of the Black Dragon Gang predicted by Kazutora. In addition to seizing all of the gang’s property, he also killed the former boss.
Hakkai keeps on bowling, and eventually, Hina starts to like him. Yuzuha claims that, like a professional bowler, Hakkai utilises the heaviest bowling ball (18 pounds) when he plays.
After seeing Hakkai’s attempt to win over Hina, Takemichi resolves to make a good impression of his own. They began to argue with each other, seemingly about who would get Hina’s attention. After that, Takemichi and Hakkai battled on a punching machine, with Hakkai ultimately coming out on top with a score of 100 to Takemichi’s 50. Takemichi loses in billiards and hamster hammer to Hakkai’s superior technique and quickness.
Hakkai develops feelings for Takemichi as a result and starts to think of him as a brother figure. He also extended an invitation to Takemichi and Hina to visit him at home. Along the journey, Yuzuha begins to question why, despite his weakness and lack of aptitude, Takemichi was selected as a Toman captain. After all, Hakkai is more qualified than Takemichi, in her opinion. Hina, much to Takemichi’s dismay, agrees that Hakkai is more talented and charismatic than she is. On the other hand, Yuzuha reports that Hakkai becomes unresponsive anytime any girl than herself addresses him. Takemichi is shocked to learn that the Hakkai before him is the same villain he will face in the future.
Even more surprisingly, Takemichi learns that Hakkai is rather close to Mitsuya. True enough, Yuzuha reveals to them that Mitsuya’s side profile serves as Hakkai’s screensaver.
Takemichi is perplexed as to the cause of such radical future shifts in Hakkai. He thinks the Black Dragon’s sway over Toman is due in part to Hakkai’s friendship with Mitsuya. They see a bunch of Black Dragons in front of them, blocking the entrance to the Shiba home as they approach. A return of their elder brother, as Yuzuha implies, would be devastating for both Takemichi and Hina, and for Hakkai as a whole. It was Hakkai’s request that Takemichi and Hina leave the region immediately.
Regrettably, it’s already too late, as one of the Black Dragon Gang members has recognised Takemichi. What’s more, the gang’s commander issued a directive for all members to eliminate any visitors from outside the Black Dragon Gang. When the 10th generation’s leaders, Koko and Inupi, direct their troops to attack Takemichi, Hakkai and Yuzuha do their best to stand in their way in order to protect Takemichi and Hina. Hakkai knocks out one of the thugs with a single punch, much to everyone’s amazement. He also expresses regret to Takemichi for dragging the latter into the middle of the argument. He spills the beans that Taiju Shiba, their older brother, runs things for the Black Dragon Gang.
In front of everyone, Inupi threatens Hakkai with a pocket knife after Hakkai publicly criticises Taiju. Kicking Inupi in the face, Yuzuha tells him not to bother her little brother Hakkai. Given that they are willing to attack the leader’s siblings and threaten a girl like Yuzuha, Takemichi knows the Black Dragon Gang is not the same as Toman. Once again apologising to Takemichi, Yuzuha begs him to remove Hina from the region immediately so that she can be safe from the Black Dragon Gang. When the enormous Taiju emerged from the alley, it slammed Takemichi’s head down. He begins to brutally attack Takemichi’s face in front of everyone, drawing blood from Takemichi’s nose and lips. Earlier in the episode, Taiju orders Hakkai to kill Takemichi with a series of brutal blows, and he eventually succeeds.
