Chapter 1: Rekindled Flame of a Hero (1)

Clutching his now bleeding shoulder and abdomen, Hanagaki Takemichi stared at that same empty dark eyes belonging to a once-blonde teenager going by the name of 'Mikey'.

One bullet nestled in his heart, another in his abdomen and the next in his stomach.

Suffice to say, the now-black haired adult was...tired.

And so, he gave up.

Not on his life, no.

He gave up on Sano Manjiro.

Or

Takemichi gets sent back in time after dying to Bonten Mikey, goes feral and unexpected shit happens.
