Akira arrives via motorcycle just as this battle is about to take place.
But lets back up a few hours, as the show likes to jump back and forward in time.
When shit went down, he just happened to be in the bondage room of a Shinjuku brothel.
Thus the woman he was to spend the night with was already tied up when she became a zombie.
Politician clients, model girlfriends and day-trips to Paris.
Akira, at the time, was thoroughly mired and soul-crushed by his job.
But Akira didnt want to hear it, not then, not from Kencho.
Kencho admits, loudly and tearfully, that what he really wanted was to be a stand-up comic.
Still, ithappened, and Kencho believestruesuccess comes from escaping dead-end situations that cause apathy and despair.
Akira also gets to cross off another item on his list:Drink and laugh with my best bud.
This was a beautiful portrait of positive male friendship and love.
But this was an exceedingly uplifting reunion.
