Plot
Akira and others from his group are called to a hotel suite that another group, HOMRA, is currently occupying. Under the orders of his superior, Seri Awashima, he draws out his sword in preparation for the battle between Scepter 4 and HOMRA. However, due to Munakata's persuasiveness, there is no such event and the HOMRA's Red King is imprisoned. Sometime after, Akira joins his colleagues when extracting information about Yashiro Isana.

Sometime later, he joins several members of his Clan to a local soccer stadium to confront Yashiro and Kuroh. Akira takes his battle stance under his Lieutenant's orders, though he remains on standstill throughout the whole event.

The following afternoon, Akira is assigned to continue pursuit of Yashiro Isana and his two accomplices. The group finds themselves on a freeway in Shizume City. There, they stop and Akira takes the time to ask whether their forces are enough to handle Yashiro's own team, seeing as one of his accomplices is capable of fighting on equal ground with Lieutenant Awashima. In response, Saruhiko reminds Akira of their main objective, before then leading him and their other Clansmen to a nearby pickup truck. Akira and Fuse begin to interrogate the driver, who explains that he is only delivering cargo for his company. As it turns out, there is no one else occupying his vehicle.

Akira would later join his Clansmen to a local airport so that they can use the helicopters there and bring the Silver King, Adolf K. Weismann, from the Himmelreich so that he can be taken into custody. Eventually, they arrive at the airport and board the helicopters, taking off to continue their objective. However, due to the unexpected explosion of the Himmelreich, doubled with a crash impact into the aircraft's engines from one of the Blue Clansmen's operative helicopters, followed by a subsequent crash landing of both vehicles, Scepter 4 ultimately fails their mission.

The following day, things did not improve. Mikoto Suoh manages to free himself from his shackles and successfully break out from his prison cell, despite the combined efforts of multiple Blue Clansmen, including Akira, to keep him confined. As such, Akira and several other Clansmen hurry outside to barricade the exit and prevent the Red King from escaping the vicinity. Unfortunately, they fail to complete their task and Mikoto ends up leaving the area with several members of HOMRA, who have arrived to accompany him back home. Akira prepares to fight them off though he is forced to draw back at Fushimi's orders.

Akira later joins his Clansmen to the bridge connecting to Ashinaka High School. As per orders, Akira wait until he is told to enter the school's campus. The morning after, he asks Seri Awashima about it but is not given an answer, which he does not respond back to. Moments later, an explosion occurs on the campus, surprising Akira. He wonders whether it is the work of the Red King. Finally, it is then that Munakata orders his subordinates to make their move.

At the school entrance, they are confronted by members of HOMRA. When negation fails to reach them, Seri commands her men to fight. Akira raises his saber before he then engages himself in a battle. Among his opponents is Saburōta Bandō from HOMRA. Akira stops fighting for a few minutes after another explosion occurs on the campus, which is led by another, then with the incident with the Captain. Later on, he stops again, but only to look at a mysterious beam of light somewhere on the other side of the school.
