In 1986, using the stolen Ixa Knuckle to fight Jiro, Otoya calmly beats a fighting-mad Garulu into submission; driving the Wolfen away with the Broken Fang attack before experiencing the Ixa System's painful side effects. Learning that he took the Ixa Knuckle, Yuri attempts to take it back from Otoya. In 2008, Wataru aids Kengo in his part time job as a construction worker to provide the funding needed to launch Kengo's rock career. However, Megumi tells Wataru that the people Miyake had been scouting have mysteriously disappeared, suggesting that he may be a Fangire.
