Bucchigiri?! episode 11 recap
The previous episode focused on Ichiya and Senya's training. When Senya accepted defeat, it infuriated Ichiya, who believed he was being mocked as Senya held back in their battles, fearing one of them would end up dying. Despite this, they were eventually gunned down by the authorities, who sought to suppress those training to become Honki People.
In the present, Arajin, having learned this history, was upset because Senya was motivated to possess his body to settle matters with Ichiya. Senya insisted that he would return Arajin's body after his mission was over, but the latter refused to believe and asked that Senya leave his body.
Next, Arajin informed Matakara about Ichiya's plan to take over his body and kill him in the process, but the former was indifferent as long as he could defeat Arajin. Ichiya was puzzled by Matakara's decision to put off fighting Arajin, but Matakara dismissed him as he had another priority: defeating Kenichiro.
Thus, Matakara challenged Kenichiro to a duel, as he had also done in the past, before joining Minato Kai right after his brother was placed in a juvenile facility. Back then, Kenichiro had effortlessly defeated Matakara.
In the present, while Komao was sent to fetch Arajin, Zabu attempted to stop Matakara from fighting Kenichiro but was badly beaten up.
The anticipated fight between Matakara and Kenichiro then took place. As expected, Matakara was unable to inflict significant damage on Kenichiro due to their disparity in strength, and most of his attacks were blocked. However, after merging with Ichiya, Matakara successfully knocked Kenichiro out with a kick.
A flashback revealed that Kenichiro had anticipated this outcome and had paid a visit to Arajin to request that he stop Matakara when the time came. Thus, Arajin returned to the Honki Person shrine that night, summoned Senya using the gun, and asked the latter to merge with him.
