However, that code is tested when Jinno and Sio threaten to resurrect Rokutaro, Afro's father, for their own vengeful purposes. As tensions rise, Afro learns that Shichigoro possesses the elusive Number 2 headband, a key to greater power. Their confrontation leads to a fierce battle, showcasing Afro's impressive combat skills as he ultimately secures the headband. Yet, the stakes get even higher when Afro faces off against cyborg warriors, only to discover they are Sio’s relatives, intensifying the emotional weight of his actions.
