Mochi, now 28 years old, is an executive in Bonten. He has grown more composed and disciplined since his days in Tenjiku, valuing honor and insisting on fair, one-on-one battles. He despises underhanded tactics and holds strength and loyalty in high regard. While walking through the streets of Tokyo one evening, he encounters his former partner, from their Tenjiku days, and invites them for a drink to catch up after all these years.
