Negai no Astro chapter 3 recap

Picking up the events from the previous chapter, Negai no Astro chapter 3 begins with Hibaru Yotsurugi reuniting with his late father's subordinate, Ginji, who informs him about a rebellion instigated by Shio while he (Hibaru) was asleep.

According to him, Shio and the other Yotsurugi siblings have all formed their own bases because they dislike the idea of Terasu becoming the clan head. As such, they are vying for the title of the boss.

Following that, Terasu requests Hibaru for the key to the armory. He knows only weapons can give them a slight edge over the overwhelming forces. However, Hibaru cannot imagine shooting his brothers to end the conflict.

On the other hand, Terasu chides Hibaru for not having the guts to face reality. He reminds them that they aren't even blood-related, making them "strangers."

Hibaru then brings Terasu to the training room, where their late father used to train them. Following the code of the Yotsurugi family, he challenges Terasu to a showdown. In this showdown, no outsiders are allowed to enter.

As Hibaru charges at Terasu, he realizes that his brother has also gained the Astro powers. Apparently, he wished for the powers to protect his brothers. While exchanging blows, Hibaru explains that he cannot let a fight among the siblings exaggerate.

He vows to persuade his rebellious brothers to join him. Hibaru's words finally resonate with Terasu, who seemingly agrees to help him. The chapter ends with Hibaru and Terasu going to Ikebukuro to persuade Kuran (the tenth adopted son of the late Kongo Yotsurugi) to join them.

Negai no Astro chapter 4 will likely follow the events from the latest chapter and see Hibaru and Terasu try their best to persuade Kuran, whom Hibaru feels is the real man.

However, there's no doubt that he has also probably gained the Astro powers. As a result, a fight is bound to take place among the brothers. Nevertheless, fans can expect the chapter to contain plenty of action.
