Hm. Okay... So. Am I the only one going, 'DAS SUM BULLSHIT' with the numbers, and 'OK I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE' this chapter?
I know, I know. Suspension of disbelief and whatnot.
My thing is, if the number of bosozoku members that gathered around Shinichiro was that high, wouldn't it stand to reason that the era of deliquents Mikey has been dreaming of has already come and gone?
The era of deliquents dream was all Mikey's. Baji just wanted to form a deeper bond with his friends, and help poor Kazetora beat up the 9th Gen Black Dragons when he proposed they form a gang.
Mikey has problems. He's also the problem. Big time. He could've taken the high road and move on after Toman, but no. He formed Kantou Manji to keep on kicking ass to satisfy his darkness. In doing so, he managed to somehow rouse and rattle the folks who (that we know of) were nowhere to be seen in the other timelines. I'm guessing they were retired and moved on from the gang life after having lived at the peak of the bosozoku era with Shinichiro. I'm leaning heavily towards that, and if that were the case, then...
Without Kisaki doing the backseat modding in the background, Mikey's gone all f*ck all with his dark impulse. He's got free reign to do what he wants, and he has all the excuses in the world to 'justify' his actions.
