Chapter 72: "Baby, Got to Run!! (Part 2)" Eikichi congratulates Makoto and Mami while Makoto states that the baby isn't confirmed yet. Eikichi tells him to stop being embarrassed and Mami asks him to be their baby's godfather. Eikichi gives the couple some money to spend on the baby and leaves, despite Makoto's protests. To Makoto's surprise, Mami has already started spending the money while his back was turned. Mami tells him they should start buying baby clothes while Makoto contemplates how to get out of this mess. They walk outside and bump into Abe and his date. Abe congratulates them and gives them 50,000Y as a gift. Mami accepts the gift and she declares that they will work hard from now on. The rumour of Makoto's marriage spreads and he is congratulated by Kamata, Saejima, Itou and even Makoto's old junior high friends, while the gifts build up to about 500,000Y. Sometime later, Makoto's mother receives a phone call from a crying girl and scolds Makoto for already having ten crying girls calling for him. As a panicky Makoto lies in bed realises that his marriage news has spread to all the girls he fooled around with and he has no way out, a breathless Mami rushes into his room informing him that her father is out to kill him. They are interrupted by Mami's father and his associates, who declares that he already picked out a husband for Mami and refuses to let Makoto marry his daughter. Mami stands up to her father and Makoto states that he doesn't want to die yet. Later at Mami's house, Mami and Makoto sit down and reason with Mami's father. Makoto stays silent as Mami tells her father that she loves Makoto and doesn't want to marry someone just to improve her father's political career as minister. Mami's father threatens to take bring Makoto's entire family to poverty and Makoto thankfully gives in. However, Mami's father is interrupted with a punch to the face, which turns out to be from Eikichi. Eikichi states that he is here to help and a crying Makoto states that he didn't ask Eikichi to come. |

Chapter 73: "Baby, Got to Run!! (Part 3)" Mami's father accuses Makoto of bringing in his delinquent friends and threatens to send them to juvenile hall. Makoto's problem gets worse and Eikichi holds Mami's father hostage at knifepoint until Makoto and Mami escape. Eikichi states that although Makoto is a known coward at times, he has dedicated his life to Mami and didn't run and hide. He states that Makoto truly a man, causing Makoto to think twice about his actions. Eikichi tells them to run and the couple escapes, while Makoto exclaims that he can't be the man Eikichi thinks he is. As Mami's father orders his associates to capture Makoto and Mami, Eikichi exclaims that he believes in Makoto as being a real man. Elsewhere, Makoto and Mami stop to rest and Mami considers places they can run off too. Makoto struggles to express his feelings and Mami reveals that she knew all along that Makoto never really loved her. She states that she was living a dream in hope that they can be together and chides herself for being an idiot. She reveals that she knows Makoto fools around with a lot of other girls and that he doesn't take relationships seriously. Makoto asks her why she is going through all this trouble and she replies that she is in love with him. She tells him that she can take care of the baby by herself and requests that he never forget her. As she turns to leave, Makoto chides himself for being useless and always running away from his problems. He states that he wants to run away with Mami and make her happy. Makoto embraces a tearful Mami and he realises what it means to be a real man. Later at the train station, the couple attempt to sneak onto a train and are discovered by Mami's father's associates.

Chapter 74: "Got a Problem with That?" A cheery Saejima strolls down the street humming, exclaiming that he has a surprise to his girlfriend Hiromi. He is greeted by Kamishiro and Saejima tells him that he is on his way to surprise his girlfriend for her birthday. Saejima walks off and Kamishiro is amazed that even with that scary face, Saejima has a girl. As Saejima approaches Hiromi's house, he sees her with another guy with his arms around Hiromi. A petrified Hiromi begs an angry Saejima that the guy is her boyfriend and begs Saejima not to kill him. She states that she had wanted to tell him many times before but whenever she tried, she lost her nerve because of his scary face. She begs Saejima to leave her alone and to not make that scary face (in actuality, it is Saejima's crying face). Later, Saejima walks through the shops and the crowd tries to avoid him because of his face (which is actually depressed, not angry). Saejima questions why his face looks scary and spots a child staring at him. He attempts to smile and the child runs off in fear. He is interrupted by a breathless girl who asks him if he is Saejima from class 1-D at Tsujido High. She introduces herself as Kikuta Norikofrom 1-F and begs for his help. She reveals that a guy has been following her and she wants Saejima to pretend to be her boyfriend to scare the guy off with his scary face. She even offers to spend the night with Saejima in return for his help. They are interrupted by Akira, Noriko's stalker, and his friends. Saejima declares that he doesn't want anything to do with this and walks off but receives a punch in the face from Akira. An angry Saejima declares that no one punches him and gets away with it. Later, a bloody and beaten down Saejima rests against a tree as Akira and his friends walk away. Noriko apologises to Saejima for getting him beaten up, stating that she thought his face would scare them away. A determined Saejima grabs a stick and tells Noriko that he will break her away from Akira once and for all. He states that she doesn't need to spend the night with him as he is doing this for himself. He catches up with Akira and his friends and beat the whole group down to the ground. |

Ryuji & Eikichi Chapter 75: "Springtime Premonition" April 7th, new term at Tsujido High, the Oni-baku return to school and look forward to the new first year girls. However, Ryuji is still depressed over Ayumi. The new second year class allocations are out and Tsukai finds out he is in the same class (2-A) as Makoto (who has shaved his head bald for the troubles he caused). Saejima states that he can't find his name on the list and the Oni-baku arrive. A shocked Makoto informs them of a new notice: Eikichi, Ryuji, Abe, Kamata and Saejima are being held back in first year. Later, the Saejima and the Oni-baku beg the principal to move them back up, with no luck. The principal tells them to report to class 1-F. However, Makoto surmises that now they can be closer to the new first year girls who most likely want older, more experienced guys. The group wonders who the new homeroom teacher, Minamino Youka, is and state that the school often hires young female teachers. Tsukai warns them that the class list for 1-F appears to be delinquents, who would love to take down the Oni-baku to improve their reputation. However, they ignore him and Eikichi, Ryuji and Saejima enter their classroom. To their disappointment, the class is filled with delinquent guys and a trio tries to stir up trouble with Saejima and Eikichi. Suddenly, the girls enter the classroom and Eikichi tries to pick up a girl wearing glasses. She dismisses him with a kick between the legs and leaves. They are interrupted by their homeroom teacher, Minamino, a bald, tough, Yakuza looking teacher. He commands that the class take their seats and Eikichi is disappointed to see this man as Ayumi's replacement. |

Chapter 76: "Nanno, Nanno?!" As Minamino commands a protesting classroom to sit down, Abe arrives and expresses his annoyance at being held back. He receives a punch in the face from Minamino, who tells him its for being late. Abe complains and Minamino declares that Abe was lucky as he wasn't using his full strength. Minamino proceeds to inform the class that 1-F is a special case and that he was sent to reform the delinquents, using any means necessary. First step is to inspect everyone's bags. Minamino discovers a condom in a student's bag, who claims that it is stomach medicine. Upon hearing that, Minamino shoves the condom down the student's throat as everyone else watch in horror. Upon reaching Ryuji, Minamino demands to see his bag and Ryuji tells him to start teaching on the blackboard instead of wasting time doing useless crap like this. Minamino declares that inspection is over and commands the boys to line up outside the gym. He states that he is going to enjoy shutting up rebellions like Ryuji. Minamino leads the class to the pool and tells everyone to strip. He commands the class to all kick paddle in the pool, despite the cold weather. An angry Ryuji charges at Minamino and gets pushed into the pull. As everyone obeys Minamino and plunge into the pool, Minamino states that the swimming lessons will continue until everyone fixes their hair, changes their clothes and conform to the school dress code. Later, the shivering group consisting of Eikichi, Ryuji, Saejima and Abe read the dress code notice and decide to get revenge on Minamino. That night, they hide in the bushes with bats and wait for Minamino. They spot him walking down the path, but before they can take action, another group of masked guys jump out and attack Minamino first. Minamino easily dispatches the attackers, declaring that he was the Kanto area karate bout champion. He shows his attackers his "Killer Bear Chop" as a relieved Eikichi, Ryuji, Saejima and Abe quickly slip away. |

Chapter 77: "Minamino Youka's Secret?!" The following day at school, students walk by the 1-F class and laugh at their new haircuts. An angry Saejima (with a mushroom cut) declares that he would rather be dead than feel like a geek, as he is restrained by Eikichi (with his previous nerd haircut) and Abe (with a short clip). They are interrupted by Minamino, who enters and mocks the class for their haircuts and for arriving early at 7:30AM. Minamino tells the class that since they followed the rules, there will be no swimming but he has other activities planned for them. They are interrupted by Ryuji, who arrives with his normal hair and an outrageous suit. Minamino states that he holds the whole class responsible and that they have to all shave their heads bald before tomorrow, otherwise they will be marked as absent. Ryuji declares that Minamino should punish only himself and Minamino reveals that he knows all about Ryuji and Ayumi and starts taunting him. An angry Ryuji punches Minamino in the face and challenges him to a one-on-one fight right then and there. As EIkichi, Saejima and Abe try to convince Ryuji to stop, Minamino accepts the challenge and schedules the fight for Saturday in the gym. He says that if Ryuji wins, everyone can go back to their normal look but Ryuji doesn't stand a chance. Ryuji states that he's not playing around and Minamino smashes the table, asking if it looks like he's playing. Later in the teacher's staffroom, Eikichi, Saejima and Abe beg Mariko to reveal to them Minamino's weakness. She reveals to them a rumour she heard Minamino's previous school, Yushin Institute in Tokyo and that Minamino had a problem with a female student. Later, the trio arrive at Yushin Institute and surmise that the school is pretty bad due to graffiti everywhere. As they look around for clues, they are interrupted running children and Abe realises that Yushin Institute is an elementary school. Shocked, the trio conclude that Minamino has a child fetish. In his home, Minamino jerks off to child pornography and declares that he will break every bone in Ryuji's body. |

Ryuji & Minamino Chapter 78: "Came and Conquered" As the crowd starts to gather in the gym, Ryuji and Minamino face each other and prepare to fight. Makoto and Tsukai watch on and hope that Ryuji will be okay. Minamino demonstrates his strength through multiple dumbbells and Ryuji tells him to start the fight already. Minamino brings out a stone pillar with a picture of a figure that resembles Ryuji and declares that he will show Ryuji what will happen to him. To everyone's horror, Minamino pummels the pillar until only a pile of rubble remains. Minamino tells Ryuji that he will let Ryuji go if he kisses his feet but Ryuji stands firm and tells him to shut up. Minamino declares that he will go change and come back to finish Ryuji. In the locker room, Minamino opens his locker and is shocked to see various items that reveal his child fetish. Behind him, Eikichi, Saejima and Abe ask him if he likes child pornography. Minamino threatens them and to his horror, they reveal that they went to Yushin Institute and discovered that he played doctor with a student there. Minamino thinks back on how he made the student he played doctor with, Miyo (not her real name), to promise not to tell anyone. He states that the trio is bluffing and they bring in Miyo (not her real name). Minamino begs Eikichi not to reveal his secret and Eikichi agrees, under one condition. Later, Minamino heads back to the gym to fight Ryuji. The fight begins and Ryuji lands the first punch in Minamino's face and is surprised that he got one in so easily. To his surprise, Minamino yells out that his face hurts and runs crazily around the gym. Eikichi, Saejima and Abe laugh at how he followed exactly what they told him to do. |

Chapter 79: "The Tough Guy" Kamata returns to school and Eikichi and Saejima fill him in on what he missed. Ryuji states his annoyance at his friends fixing the fight without telling him. However, the whole school now thinks Ryuji is superman and the same trio that tried to stir up trouble with Eikichi and Saejima on the first day at school state that the second year repeaters need to be put back into place. As the whole class gather around Ryuji, the angry trio, one of them revealed to be Yasuo, declare that Big Ka will fix them up when he arrives. They pick a fight with EIkichi and Minamino arrives. Eikichi tells Minamino to take care of the trio and Minamino disciplines them. Later in the playground, the trio state that they must fix this mess before Big Ka shows up but their friend, Kitamura Haruki, from 1-E states that they should wait for Big Ka. The trio tell Kitamura to round up everyone who owes Big Ka a favour and declares that no one messes with the K. T. Butai. In the hallway, Eikichi, Ryuji, Kamata and Saejima hears news of a fight on the roof but Eikichi states its only the first years and leaves with Ryuji. Saejima and Kamata leave together and they are watched on by the K. T. Butai from the roof. At the train station, a man with a bag saying that he is the number one mother of all gang fight bosses in Shonan gets picked on by two third years from Kita High. The man easily knocks the one named Takeoka down and introduces himself as Tsumoto Katsuyuki, a first year from Tsujido High. Elsewhere, Saejima and Kamata leave a coffee house and Kamata gets attacked from behind by a group introducing themselves as the K. T. Butai, formerly of Ryou Junior High. At the train station, two Kita High students discover Takeoka and his friend Akira bloodied and beaten. We cut to Katsuyuki, who has arrived at Tsujido High. |

Tsumoto Katsuyuki Chapter 80: "First Day Of School" The K. T. Butai reveal to Saejima and Kamata that their leader, Big Ka, will arrive at Tsujido High and become the leader of all the first years. They state that Big Ka also has someone amazing backing him up. At school, Katsuyuki enters the premises while the rest of K. T. Butai search for the Oni-baku and state that they must take them down before Big Ka arrives. We cut back to the other half of K. T. Butai, who continues to talk about Big Ka's backup and Kamata retaliates with a flying rock to the face. Saejima attacks and the Mad Dogs of Kamakura declare that K. T. Butai can bring all the backup they want. At Tsujido High, Katsuyuki walks around searching for the first year classrooms and runs into the Oni-baku. To Ryuji's surprise, Eikichi and Katsuyuki hug each other, stating it's been a year since they last saw each other. Eikichi reminds Ryuji that Katsuyuki was the general that challenged him to a duel in the past and was beaten. Eikichi tells a surprised Katsuyuki that he was held back and is now in 1-F, which is the same as Katsuyuki. They are interrupted by a beaten up Kitamura, who tells Big Ka (Katsuyuki) that they are under attack. Saejima and Kamata arrive and tells the Oni-baku that they were ambushed. The rest of the K. T. Butai sneak behind the Oni-baku and attacks them, to Katsuyuki's horror. The K. T. Butai state that they represent Big Ka as well as Big Ka's amazing backup, the legendary Oni-baku. Katsuyuki asks his surprised K. T. Butai troop why they are attacking the Oni-baku if they are their backup. They respond that they thought Oni-baku was the name of some guy and an angry Eikichi demands to know what Katsuyuki has been teaching his troops. Eikichi, Ryuji, Saejima and Kamata then surround Katsuyuki and beat him up for causing them so much trouble. And so, ends Katsuyuki's first day at school, three days after everyone else. |
