The main character is Takemichi Hanagaki, a part-time worker who has hit rock bottom in his life. One day, he learns that his one and only love in his life, Hinata Tachibana, who he dated in junior high school, has been killed by the “Tokyo Mankai,” an alliance of the worst and worst villains. The next day, Takemichi was pushed on his back by someone on the station platform and fell onto the tracks, preparing to die, but when he opened his eyes, he was transported back in time 12 years.
This is the story of Takemichi, who has acquired the ability to “time leap” and travels back in time 12 years ago to his junior high school days, and begins revenge on his life in order to save his lover and change the person who kept running away. In addition to an innovative story that combines the elements of a delinquent manga'' and the suspense element of time leap,” it is a heart-warming work that depicts the friendship of boys and how they clumsily try to live their lives.
In this article, we will talk about Tokyo Mankai No.2! We would like to introduce you to the charms of Ken Ryuguji, also known as “Draken”, who serves as the vice president. Please note that we have summarized the content up to the final volume of the comic, so please be careful of spoilers and enjoy the handsome Drakken who has an unyielding belief as a delinquent!

Ken Ryuguji is a founding member of “Tokyo Mankai.” He will serve as vice president of the Tokyo Mankai. He is 185cm tall and has a large body, and among the Tomanji members, he has overwhelming strength, second only to Mikey (chieftain Manjiro Sano). At the same time, Drakken also has a somewhat mature side. Let me introduce you to his charm.
In the “Bloody Halloween” conflict with Hara Haru (Valhalla), Hara Hara has 300 people compared to Hara Haru, who is older than Toman. I did. Meanwhile, the morale of the entire Tokyo Mankai increases as Takemichi, even though he is in a state of disarray, does not give up and shouts, “I will blow them all away!” This triggered Draken to demonstrate his original power, saying, There is only attack, I woke up, Takemicchi'' (quoted from comic volume 7, episode 53). As Takashi Mitsutani, the commander of the Sanbantai, says, He can change the course of the war by himself!!” He blows away 10 people in an instant, and says, “This is the No. 2 Tomanji, Ken Ryuguji,” and is overwhelmingly powerful to those around him. I showed off.
Even before that, in the August 3 Conflict'', he was hit from behind with a bat in a surprise attack, and although his head was bleeding, he defeated 20 people by himself until his friends came, and in the Holy Night Battle”, Drakken was defeated by one person. He defeated 100 elite members of the 10th Black Dragon, demonstrating his overwhelming strength.
Takemichi travels back in time from the future in order to stop Draken from being killed in the 8/3 conflict. Preventing Draken’s death is not easy, and even though Draken tells him to “run away, Takemichi,” Takemichi does not run away and confronts Masaki Shimizu (Kiyomasa) and the others alone. As a result, Draken survived, and he bowed his head and thanked Takemichi, who came to visit him while he was in the hospital, saying that he was the “savior of the eastern manji.”
Also, in the conflict Kanto Incidents'' in the Tenjiku Arc,” Takemichi rides his motorcycle and chases Kisaki who is running away. Furthermore, from halfway through, he chases Takemichi, who is unable to run due to an injured leg, and carries him on his back. At that time, I realized that it was the opposite of what happened during the “August 3rd Conflict,” and I returned my debt from that time.
Even though Draken is in the position of vice-chancellor, he is able to bow and thank Takemichi, who is younger than him. He also has a passionate side that never lets his opponent escape, such as running with his opponent on his back. The “Tokyo Mankai”, a team with a passionate love for its friends, is possible because President Mikey’s belief in valuing his friends and Vice President Drakken, who is not proud of his position or strength, is at the top.
Although he is strong in fights, Drakken is generally always calm and collected. His upbringing was complicated.
Born in the red-light district of Shibuya, his father is unknown. Her mother was a prostitute and disappeared, leaving behind 2-year-old Drakken. Her home is still fashion health. Draken has his own room in one of the shops, and there are many photos of his precious friends pasted on the wall, and Draken tells Takemichi, “If you live there, it’s the capital.”
Drakken is probably more mature than his age because he was raised by the store manager and other people at the store, and listens to stories from the store ladies every day. In addition, Draken, who lives a strong life with faith without being pessimistic about his circumstances, has the humanity and true strength that makes him worthy of standing above others as vice-chancellor. I guess they are trusted.
“８・３抗争”前に、パーちん（東京卍會参番隊隊長・林田春樹）は親友の仇を取る為に愛美愛主（メビウス）の長内を刃物で刺し、少年院行きとなりました。その際、パーちんの自首した覚悟を大事にし、筋を通したドラケン。また、“不良の世界での出来事は不良の中だけで片付ける”という信念を重んじ、マイキーに人の心を持つよう大切なことを伝えています。
東京卍會トップ2の出会い、それは2人が小学5年生の時でした。体も中学生並みに大きく、小5で龍のタトゥーをしたドラケンに逆らう者など、ほとんどいませんでした。それでも一度袋叩きにされた“鮫山一派”には逆らえなかったドラケン。その鮫山にマイキーを連れてくるよう言われ、ドラケンは初めてマイキーに会います。
実際マイキーに会うと、ドラケンが想像していた“強い奴”とは全く違い、小柄な穏やかな小学生でした。しかし鮫山のところへ連れて行くと一瞬で鮫山を倒し、圧倒的な強さを見せつけ「オマエみたいにカッケー奴がさ なんでこんなカス共とつるんでんの？オレの友達になれ！ケンチン！」（コミック2巻番外編引用）とドラケンに笑いかけます。これが2人の最強コンビの始まりでした。
ドラケンの日常は、まずマイキーの家に行き髪を結んであげ、学校に行くか、他の不良を潰しにいくか、バイクをいじるか、マイキーの気分に合わせて行動します。2人でファミリーレストランへ行くと、お子様セットを注文するマイキー。その際、旗が乗っていないと拗ねてしまうマイキーに素早く旗を差し出し、食後に寝始めるマイキーをおぶって移動するなど、ドラケンはまるでマイキーの保護者のようです。
不良の世界では“無敵のマイキー”と“東卍No.2”と恐れられる2人ですが、普段はこのように微笑ましい2人。お互い信頼し合っている事が一目瞭然ですね。
パーちんが少年院行きになった時、ドラケンとマイキーは意見が分かれ、喧嘩をしました。ドラケンはマイキーに絶大な信頼と尊敬の気持ちを抱いていますが、自分が違うと思うことは、このようにしっかりとマイキーに意見する事が出来る仲です。
また、メビウスの揉め事に巻き込まれた女性のお見舞いに行き、女性の両親に誤解され責められた際も、反発しそうになるマイキーを制し、こう言います。
「“不良（オレら）の世界”は不良の中だけで片付ける
東卍（ウチ）のメンバーはみんな家族もいるし大事な人もいる
一般人に被害出しちゃダメだ 周りの奴泣かしちゃダメだ
下げる頭もってなくてもいい 人を想う“心”は持て」（コミック2巻第12話引用）
マイキーもこれに対し「ケンチンが隣にいてくれてよかった」と返しています。これはドラケンの言葉がマイキーの心に響く大切なエピソードの一つでした。
未来に戻るたびに闇落ちしていくマイキーにも、策略に巻き込まれずにドラケンがずっとそばにいる事が出来たならば、未来は変えられていたかもしれない。ドラケンはそう思わせるほど、マイキーにとって重要な存在でした。
