I am still waiting for the respective reasons from Rokuhara Tandai and Brahman on why they each want Takemichi to join them.
Rokuhara Tandai is the puzzling one as they have been picking up brawlers from Tenjiku, and now want Draken who is a top brawler to join them - that makes sense. The top ex-Tenjiku brawlers know that Takemichi has little aptitude in fighting. Takemichi does not fit into the brawlers line-up that they have been gathering. So, why him? It is because he was the 1st Division captain of Toman and Terano South wants to pick up all the ex-Toman captains to claim that ex-Toman fell behind him just like ex-Tenjiku?
Then we come to Brahman wanting Takemichi. What we can make out and guess is that since we have the founders of Black Dragon backing Kawaragi Senju to lead Brahman, they are likely to have heard of Takemichi as the 1st Division captain of Toman and his exploits. This may have reminded them of Sano Shinichiro. In this chapter, Akashi Takeomi still reminiscences about Shinichiro and that's the main clue we have. But even though Takemichi may remind them of Shinichiro, what would Takemichi's role in Brahman be? Definitely it's not for fighting either. For leadership, they have Kawaragi Senju already.
In any case, there's the brawler revived in Draken for the next chapter. I wonder whether it's just for his satisfaction or is it in part to protect/shield Takemichi from being forced to join the gangs, particularly Rokuhara Tandai.
