(Present Time) Hiro was furious after what Aidan said. "I guess I'll give you the same fate as I gave your dad." Hiro asked him with a death stare to Adian "What... did... you... say?..." Aidan replies, "Oh, you remember what happened to your father, right... Hiro?....." Hiro then immediately replies, "Oh... no, you didn't..." Aidan grins at Hiro, saying to him with a cocky look. "Oh yes, I did... I was the one who gave the order to kill your Dad." Hiro was more furious than ever. "WHY... WHY DID YOU BRING HIM INTO THIS? THIS ARGUMENT WAS JUST BETWEEN YOU AND ME!" Aidan replies, "I did it for revenge... After what you did to me... I wanted revenge... So I went to the big man himself and told him what happened. He asked me what I wanted to do and I told him my Idea... To kill your father... He then gave me access to some equipment that only the organization used, some of the equipment you used for Misson X." Hiro had no words to express how he was feeling. All that was in his head was Kill Aidan. Hiro then said, "Aidan... I TRUSTED YOU!.. MY FAMILY TRUSTED YOU!.. I SAW YOU AS A BROTHER I NEVER HAD!!! I DIDN'T MEAN FOR ANY OF THIS TO HAPPEN OK... I DIDN'T WANT THINGS TO END LIKE THIS... BUT NOW... that's all gone... All I want to do... Is kill you..." he said with a murder eye on his face. Hearing this, Aidan was shocked but replied with a smile, laughing at Hiro, "Oh come on... You're not the guy to kill anyone... You barely killed anyone while you were in the organization... What makes you think that you will start now..." Hiro replied with a dark tone. "Oh... You have no idea what I'm thinking right now." Umito, after hearing all of this, was contemplating his choice of being on Aidan's side. He knew nothing about Aidan's plans apart from taking revenge on Hiro and making him join the organization again.
He suddenly remembers how Hiro helped him when he first joined the gang, how he felt welcomed, and how he was helped fit in. He was a true friend to him. Out of nowhere, he loosened his grip on Hiro's arm and leg. Hiro notices this and side-eyes Umito. Umito nods at Hiro and lets go of Hiro's arm and leg. Hiro, now realizing he could do this, smiles and proceeds to attack. He manages to wrap his leg around Antony's neck and proceeds to choke him to the point of passing out. Aidan, seeing this, screamed at Umito, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING, YOU IDIOT!".
Umito replies, "I'm done working for you," and proceeds to run away. Danji tries to chase him, but Aidan stops him before he can do anything, saying to him, "Don't worry about him... We have our ways to find him... Deal with Hiro first". Danji sees Hiro and starts to approach Hiro. "You really are a coward, Aidan... After I'm done with him... You better start praying to your god... Because I'm going to obliterate you". Aidan is starting to worry. Knowing that Hiro is no longer gonna hold back, he says to him, "I won't have to do anything... First you'll have to face Danji, Second best next to me... The strongest and most agile there is..." Hiro and Danji make eye contact. Hiro smiles and says to Danji, "Let's begin". He rushed Danji with full force. They start to trade blows. Both Hiro and Danji look like they want to kill each other.
Aidan notices that Hiro is not using any lethal moves. He then thinks that Hiro won't use lethal moves, even after knowing the truth. But after a few minutes, Aidan noticed that Danji wasn't landing any blows and that Hiro kept blocking them and countering them with stronger attacks. Danji realizes this and goes for a Hail Mary. He counters one of Hiro's left hooks and grabs his arm. He immediately throws Hiro far off to the factory wall, making Hiro crash with some barrels. Danji, thinking he won't get up from that, says to Hiro, "Is this really what the great Hiro Namikaze can do?.. If anything you really became washed up..." Hiro gets up unfazed by what just happened and stretches his arm a bit, he cracks his neck and looks at Danji with a death stare.
Danji seeing this is shocked that Hiro is still standing and unfazed at that, He proceeds to taunt Hiro saying "What's the matter can't fight no more?.. Just give up already..." Hiro stays still, not responding to him. Danji suddenly screams, "WHAT'S THE MATTER? Cats got your tongue or something?" Hiro suddenly starts to rush at Danji. This catches Danji off guard, and Hiro manages to get a gut punch at Danji and proceeds to follow it up with a left hook, but Danji manages to dodge. Hiro then proceeds to go for a left high punch on the face, but he misses it. Danji takes this opportunity to go for a brutal gut punch of his own, It connects which makes Hiro stop fighting and grab Danji's arms as he seems to be in pain from the gut punch. Danji then proceeds to insult Hiro, saying, "I knew you couldn't handle anything I threw at you... I guess you are weak, just like your father-". Suddenly, Hiro looks Danji in the eyes with a murder eye and manages to throw him over his shoulder to the ground. Hiro looking at him on the ground. Knocked out from the throw, he stomped on his stomach out of fury. Making sure he can't get up. After seeing all that happened, Aidan stumbled a bit but caught himself. He is starting to worry that Hiro is no longer himself. Hiro looks at Aidan and says to him with a dark tone and a death stare, "It's your turn... Better start regretting what you have done... because... I will end you..."
