Arriving at Coolsville, Date had told him to meet at the Survive Bar, but instead he is greeted by Suou Katsuya since Date has been busy investigating some underground group. Despite how big Evolution seems to be, it remains a mystery, they operate in the shadows and seek some sort of "change"; however, Kiryu's actions have caught their eyes, and are searching for him in places like the club pertaining to one of Kiryu's friends. With a chance Evolution's Ryback family might attack at any moment, Katsuya decides to patrol the area nearby, but Kiryu says that since they're looking for him, then it's his duty to show up, which makes Katsuya admire his sense of justice.

After leaving and arriving at the Eden of Coolsville and meeting with it's manager and close friend Vergil, the goons of Ryback arrive, with Kiryu and Vergil take most of them out. The boss himself arrives, and Kiryu asks Vergil to take everyone out, since he will fight alone, and Vergil obliges.

Being too much for the big guy to handle, he was reminded of the book that changed his life, The Secret, and Ryback decided to turn his life around and begged Kiryu to let him join his ranks. Kiryu accepts if he truly repents, and Ryback and his subordinates begin to clean the place...

Episode 5
While walking through the city after Evolution's goons stopped attacking him, Kiryu thinks back on what to do next, reminded that he must not let a single one escape and hurt his family, and the memories of his past at Kasai's Orphanage came flowing back as he could not stop from reminiscing all of his friends.

He could remember a big kid and his brother Eric, the strongest kid, a catlover girl and her friend, the studious Nick and his hardworking brother; it really was his home, and most importantly, Kasai's lessons that would end up shaping him, most important of all "The way of the virgin".

All in life, Kiryu owes to Kasai, but to save his family he needs to know what the enemy is after, and only one man can give him that...

A desolate place for a desolate man: NXT. The Dragon finally arrives back at this old place, but a strange group stands at the entrance, and Kiryu wonders what they're doing around here. The stoic man throws it right back at him, since no one should be at NXT, the drunk-like man proclaims he could only be related to the ones who took "Ada". Kiryu tries to solve the situation peacefully since he's merely visiting a friend, but Fred puts fists together in preparation. He explains he comes for info and only mistook them for Evolution guys, but the visitors won't fall for any traps, and so they will let their fists do the talking.

Despite a grueling fight where Leon acted drunk out of his ass and Fred pinned Kiryu, somehow, he still managed to win and pinned them both in such an incredible way that left them confused long after it was over. Having taught them a thing or two, the man he came to see showed himself up; celebrating another amazing display, The Cagist is naturally already informed of Kiryu's intention. Unlike other dirtsheets around that say things like "P-P-Plans change", Cagist's information is as flawless as his booking. He invites all three of them to talk, but especially wants A+ player Kiryu to be his main event. Wanting to relax, Kiryu walks into the Karaoke backstage before negotiation time...

Episode 6

Near the end of the night, The Cagist approaches Kiryu with his request, that being him participating in the main event naturally as he's an A+ player. Cagist even wishes he would request info more often, since >NXT >audience goes crazy every time they see him. Sadly, Kiryu is already busy enough and the legendary dragon never gets a break. As for his opponent, he'll find out in the ring it's a fierce rival of his.

In the ring, he finds none other than Hayashi Hiroshi, who laughs at him for expecting an easy time, but Kiryu returns to him that he expected something tougher. Hayashi smirks at his remark, but states he's more dangerous than he might think. After cutting ties with the Omi and their encounter in Sotenbori, he was left wandering, wandering until he realized he couldn't afford to walk the streets while Kiryu also did the same with his life, and so he came to take that from him and nothing else. Kiryu senses that Hayashi is not only just a shady guy anymore, but his aura has grown worse than before, he might have even become... Evil Itself. Maybe I have. But you've always been one to think you could defeat anything in your path, haven't you?

It's time for me to prove that wrong.

I'll kill you, arrogant moth er fu cker!
