Yasha enters the cabin and Akutsu states that Ryuji will be the one to be out in jail for murdering Kamishima. Akutsu punches Ryuji in the stomach, stating that he is building a legend even greater than Masaki's. Akutsu reminisces about how he first met Masaki in second year junior high. Masaki had arrived on his Kawasaki ZII and immediately scared off several bikers, like a storm blowing everyone away. He approached Akutsu and tells him to come see him when he is ready to be a biker. Masaki turned around to leave, revealing the back of his coat and rode off. Akutsu had been following him ever since trying to move closer and now with his coat, Akutsu can make his own legend, better than the legend of Masaki Kyosuke. Ryuji states that Akutsu is only a copycat, riding his FX II trying to be like Masaki, so he should enjoy the fake coat he brought with him. Ryuji throws Akutsu the coat and Akutsu attacks Ryuji, stabbing him in the stomach and states that he will definitely get the coat. Akutsu drops the knife and commands Yasha to finish Ryuji off.

Nagisa tells a surprised Ryuji to run and Akutsu picks up the knife, stating that women can't get the job done. Akutsu charges at Ryuji and Nagisa jumps out to save Ryuji, taking the knife in his stead.

Outside, the police witness a massive explosion and Eikichi screams out for Ryuji. They see a burnt figure roll down the stairs and Eikichi recognises the figure as Ryuji, who is covering Nagisa, protecting her from the fire. Ryuji screams out that Nagisa has been stabbed and should be taken to hospital immediately. Kamishima's burnt body is found and the police surmise that the firestarter is the murderer, with Ryuji as their prime suspect. At the hospital, Nagisa and Ryuji undergo treatment and Nagisa's worried mother asks about her daughter's current condition. Eikichi overhears the police naming Ryuji as the suspect, planning to arrest him once he wakes up.

Elsewhere, Akutsu and the Midnight Angel are blocked off by a lone Nakajo, who states that they forgot about another person who can take them down. He tells Akutsu that someone like Akutsu can never get his hands on the coat. A Midnight Angel member charges at Nakajo, who grabs his attacker's face and smashes him into the ground. Akutsu states that he doesn't have time for Nakajo and they ride off, informing that he will get Nakajo after he gets the coat. Nakajo reveals to Akutsu that there is another person out to get him; someone called Oni, who is the true leader and owner of the coat.

They are interrupted by Katsuyuki, who informs everyone that Ryuji has been arrested. As Shinomi tries to cause a commotion with the police by taking off her top, Matsushima informs Enatsu that they shouldn't take action until they know the true story, as other witnesses state that there was another group in Midnight Angel colours. They are interrupted by another officer, who announces that Nagisa has regained consciousness. Everyone rushes into Nagisa's room, who apologises to everyone for causing so much trouble. She tells the police that Ryuji is innocent and that the real culprit is Akutsu. She reassures a worried Ryuji that she will no longer lose to Yasha as she is Ryuji's girl. She falls and the doctor states that her pulse is weak. As the hospital staff set up emergency treatment, Nagisa thanks Ryuji and tells him that she loves him.

Eikichi, Ryuji, Katsuyuki, Tsukai & Kamata Chapter 123: "Midnight Angel" As Eikichi sits on Masaki's bike, he remembers the time he and Masaki went drinking together for the whole night and Masaki had told him that Eikichi would be bigger than Masaki himself.

With that, Eikichi rides off. A hot-headed Katsuyuki attempts to run after Eikichi but Ryuji tells him to stay put, stating that Eikichi is the real thing. Ryuji tells everyone that with the coat on, Eikichi is serious and he now rides as the leader of Midnight Angel. He reveals that the reason they took down the third generation of Midnight Angel was because of Masaki's wishes. Ryuji grabs Enatsu's handcuffs and chains himself to Nagisa's bed, declaring that he won't move until Nagisa regains consciousness. Elsewhere, Eikichi hunts down everyone in Midnight Angel uniform. As cries for help reaches Akutsu's base, his men express their fear. An angry Akutsu stabs one of his men, stating that Midnight Angel doesn't need cowards like him. He tells his men that they've come this far and that no one can stop them. They are interrupted by the sound of a ZII and Akutsu's men see Eikichi in Masaki's coat. As they try to escape, they get knocked down by Akutsu, who tells them they can't get away. Eikichi knocks down the door and stares Akutsu down. He gets attacked by one of Akutsu's men and easily brushes him aside. Eikichi tells Akutsu to attack him and Akutsu quickly strikes Eikichi in the face with a punch.

As the Midnight Angel rides through the streets, the police are no match. Back at the hospital, a surprised Enatsu expresses his horror on all the blood along the highway and Matsuhima stats that Akutsu is making his mark. We cut back to Akutsu, who gets knocked down repeatedly by Eikichi. A desperate Akutsu declares that he will not lose and stabs Eikichi in the arm. They are interrupted by the radio transmission, who tells Akutsu that the Idaten gang are on their way and a triumphant Akutsu declares that Eikichi has no chance against the number of men he has. Akutsu tells one of his men, Misaki, that he will be the one who kills Eikichi and go to juvie in Akutsu's stead. Misaki reluctantly agrees and Eikichi is confronted by more Midnight Angel members who ride up behind Akutsu. Elsewhere, the late Midnight Angel group move towards Akutsu and they are blocked by Sato, Satake and his men. As the Midnight Angel charge at Eikichi, they spot a Black Mark II and to everyone's surprise, Takezawa steps out. Takezawa questions the Idaten gang's place as Midnight Angel followers and declares that he will take down any Idaten that takes on Eikichi. An angry Akutsu declares that he doesn't need the Idaten as he still has plenty of his own men. They are interrupted by Midoji and his men, along with Sato. Midoji declares that there is no one under Akutsu now, who recognises Midoji as one of the senior Midnight Angel leaders.

Akutsu, Midoji & Kyokuto High Chapter 125: "The Shonan War Comes Again!!" As the police head towards the area, they notice some students ambushing a group of Midnight Angel. The group, led by Asakura, drives off, stating that any gangs that sign under the Midnight Angel will have to deal with Kyokuto High, as Eikichi is still their man. We cut back to Akutsu, who attacks Eikichi, refusing to give up. He remembers back a meeting with Masaki, who tells Akutsu that he is too slow and will get left behind. He tells Akutsu that the way beating the blind curves isn't through using his hands but to beat himself. As he receives a punch from Eikichi, Akutsu remembers his mother remarrying and meeting his stepfather. He thinks over how he didn't have anything until Masaki introduced him to the thrills of the rider's world. He rememebers the hot Shonan nights, the sounds and smells of the bikes, the convenience store they would meet up at by Enoshima Gate carpark, the Saturday nights along the bypass and riding up the 134. Throughout the whole time, he was chasing Masaki, who was faster and stronger than anyone and Akutsu dreamed of being just like him. Akutsu lands a punch and Midoji asks if Eikichi is going to be okay. Takezawa reassures them that the Oni-baku won't go down that easy. They are interrupted by Enatsu and the police and Midoji and the senior Midnight Angel members block off the police, stating that they can't let them pass. At the hospital, Nagisa coughs off blood and the doctor doesn't understand what is happening as the operation went smoothly. Ryuji tells him that Nagisa is fighting her other self and tells Nagisa that she can't lose now. We cut back to Eikichi, who kicks Akutsu in the stomach. An angry Akutsu expresses his frustration on Eikichi's persistence and states that if Masaki was here, he'd tell Eikichi that the coat belongs to Akutsu. He remembers Eikichi taking Masaki's attention in the past and screams out that he can never lose to Eikichi. Eikichi knocks Akutsu down and reveals to him that there was a reason Masaki gave him the coat. He tells a surprised Akutsu that Masaki told him to never let Midnight Angel ride again and offers to take Akutsu on a trip to understand what Masaki meant. He tells Akutsu to mount his ZII and see if he can keep up with the real thing. |
