THE MAN WHO STANDS AT THE TOP

Furin High School's first-year Class 1 is infamous for its group of strong fighters. One of the students in the class, Kyotaro Sugishita, becomes furious with what Sakura said and throws a punch at him. The two begin a spectacular fight, ignoring an aloof Hayato Suo, who's carefully watching the fight, and Nirei, who's now panicking. A tremendously loud voice echoes throughout the school, interrupting the fight between the two young men. The owner of that voice that instantly changed the mood of the entire school is none other than Umemiya, the Representative of Bofurin. Sakura and the rest look nervously up at the speakers to hear Umemiya say something completely unexpected.

SHARED FRONTLINES

Sakura, Nirei, and Suo, having saved the girl chased by thugs whose name is Shizuka Narita, run into a suited team called Roppo Ichiza, led by someone named Kanji Nakamura.

SHALL WE DANCE?

The name of the group pursuing Shizuka is GRAVEL, a group of delinquents from the Sunaba District, a notorious area known for its rough reputation.

However, the members of Roppo Ichiza, Sakura, Nirei, and Suo are ready to confront them!

However, she is stopped by Tsubakino, Seiryu, and Uryu. Tsubakino asks what she wants to do, to which Shizuka responds, “I want to stay with everyone!” This prompts Tsubakino to finally show the seriousness of the Four Kings. Tsubakino asks what Suzuri likes and gradually, their fists become part of a conversation, as the battle between Tsubakino and Suzuri continues.

AFTER THE STORM

“All of us will work together and become one unit.” Suzuri-led GRAVEL resolves to walk a different path “together” as they take the extended hand of Roppo Ichiza. Shizuka, whose decision would have made everyone sad, sincerely apologizes and expresses her gratitude to Tsubakino and Kanji. Just then, as they have reconciled and everyone’s feelings are in sync, a former Furin student named Endo, covered in tattoos from his back to his shoulders and arms, appears.

As Umemiya, Hiragi, Tsubakino, Momose, and Mizuki join Furin High School and become a part of the Bofurin; what shadow is born as a result of this?
