Return to Ishiyama High School
Jinno and Aizawa are called over to a meeting at the Kunieda residence, which includes several of the Tōhōshinki and their affiliates. Some grow worried over the fact that Tōjō is not present, especially when Shimokawa states that he was been confronted by a group of delinquents earlier, though Jinno reassures everyone that he is fine and at his work. The meeting commences soon afterwards, regarding the newcomers at the revived Ishiyama High School, and it is eventually decided that they will stealth their enemies, although the "leaders" of both parties shall fight separately. However, when Oga is brought up as their alliance's leader, a dispute follows with Kanzaki and Himekawa in the opposition. Himekawa's nature towards the whole alliance, however, is particularly irritating for Jinno. The leadership dispute is eventually closed after a game of rock-paper-scissors that Jinno partakes in.

The following day, Jinno and Aizawa both follow Misao Onizuka to keep a close watch on him, where they end up watching him play piano in a room alone. During this time, Jinno reports their findings to Kanzaki and Furuichi through a cell phone call. He later overhears Kanzaki and Furuichi from their cell phone about how they have found Nasu alone. Jinno immediately tells them to wait until Oga and the others arrive.

Late at night, Jinno and several of his classmates from Saint Ishiyama Academy head to their high school.

Upon arriving, they are approached by the members of the Himekawa Special Forces, surprising Jinno. He looks around the area near the courtyards and takes a quick glance at one of the buildings, where he sees Tōjō grinning down on him. Upon seeing his friend's grin, Jinno states that they should have another festival before graduating from high school together. Afterwards, he gets ready to fight.

Powers & Abilities

However, he is shown to meet his match when Shintaro Natsume beats him with a single knee to his face. Although in chapter 159 it has been shown he is capable of blocking an attack from a much more powerful Tojo, Shizuka Nanami tried to stop them fighting possibly hinting he has the potential to at least fight Tojo evenly.

Hidetora Tōjō
