Eikichi & Akutsu Chapter 126: "Legend of the ZII" As Enatsu and the police try to subdue the gangs, Eikichi rides off, followed closely behind by Akutsu. Akutsu declares that he won't lose to Eikichi and remembers the advice Masaki gave him on giving it his all. At the hospital, Nagisa's pulse becomes critically unstable and a worried Ryuji begs her not to die. Elsewhere, Sato, Midoji and the rest of the senior Midnight Angel members listen to the police report stating that Eikichi is heading towards the old Odawara Highway and realise that he is heading to the place of that person. We cut to Eikichi and Akutsu, who easily penetrates through police road blocks. Masaki's words continue to echo through Akutsu's head, reminding him to ride from the heart and Akutsu remembers that day Masaki asked him to lead the second generation Midnight Angel. Masaki told him that Midnight Angel is not some cheap motorcycle gang but are Shonan's free roadsters. Masaki had told him that he will be waiting for Akutsu the day he understands what riding and Midnight Angel really is. From that day onwards, Akutsu had vowed to ride faster than Masaki and make Midnight Angel bigger than ever. Akutsu speeds up, thrilled at the thought of meeting Masaki again. As they near a sharp turn, Akutsu loses control of his bike and it falls over the ledge. Eikichi stops and tells Akutsu that they are one in the same, both trying to keep up with Masaki. He reveals that Masaki went further than they could ever reach, becoming a legend. Masaki had died at this very turn two years prior. Eikichi states to a stunned Akutsu that they can chase all they want but never catch up to Masaki's tail light. |

Chapter 127: "The Long Long Summer Nears Its Finish (Part 1)" Eikichi tells Akutsu that Masaki failed to notice an oil slick on the road and by the time Eikichi arrived, it was too late. He reveals that the monster that Midnight angel had become was not what Masaki wanted. At the hospital, a nurse visits Kamishima's room on her final round for the night and sees the broken window next to the empty bed. Elsewhere, the police have caught up to Eikichi and Akutsu. An angry Akutsu refuses to believe that the founder of the toughest gang is dead and holds an officer at knifepoint. Midoji states that Midnight Angel is long gone and Eikichi challenges Akutsu that he he really wants to call himself Midnight Angel's new leader, he would have to take Eikichi down first and take the coat. A desperate Akutsu declares that he is Shonan's toughest and points the officer's gun at Eikichi. To everyone's surprise, a bandaged Kamishima appears behind Akutsu and stabs Akutsu in the stomach, who falls off the ledge to the crashing waves below. Before he hits the water, he sees visions of Masaki leaving him behind once again. A crazy Kamishima stabs his own thigh and declares that he has done it, finally becoming Shonan's top. At the hospital, Nagisa's heart stops as Ryuji watches on in horror. |

Nagisa & Ryuji Chapter 128: "The Long Long Summer Nears Its Finish (Part 2)" As Ryuji tries to wake Nagisa up, the doctor announces Nagisa's death at 0:20. To his surprise, Nagisa's heart starts beating again. She mutters Ryuji's name and opens up her eyes. Elsewhere, Akutsu is submerged beneath water and he notices how dark it is. Despite the darkness, he notices how clear the city lights are and feels like he is on someone's back. He wonders if it is Masaki's and finally understand what Masaki had been trying to teach him. He remembers the fun summer nights and asks Masaki to take him back there one last time. Akutsu wakes up in hospital and wonders if it really was Masaki that saved him. He is informed that an unnamed man with “Masaki Kyosuke” written on the back of his coat brought him in and he realises who his saviour really was. Later, word spreads around of a special meeting that night. A lone Eikichi stands on the beach and is approached by Midoji, Sato, Kamata, Saejima, Tsukai and many others. Midoji asks Eikichi why he is gathering everyone in the middle of the day and EIkichi tells him that he wants to confirm something. He states that he finally figured out how Masaki felt. Masaki was just a typical kid and was heart broken once second generation Midnight Angel took over. That was the reason why he asked Oni-baku to break up Midnight Angel. Eikichi takes out a lighter and burns Masaki's coat in front of everyone, saying it's for the best. He asks everyone to go ride like they mean it, in memory of Masaki. Eikichi starts up his bike and the engine noise is heard by Ryuji and a recovering Nagisa. Akutsu also hears it as he gets arrested and smiles. That night, some 200 bikes turned out on the roads of Shonan. Their tail lights lit up the highway and shook ceaselessly with a thunderous roar. Midnight Angel is given a proper farewell. |
