Synopsis
Mob meets Serizawa on his way to the top of the Cultural Tower, who refuses to let him pass. During their fight, Mob send his feelings to Serizawa, showing him that he was in the same situations. Because of that, they become friends. During that time, Sho is beaten up by his father. Then Mob appears, without any intentions to fight. However, Toichiro, after seeing that Shigeo has the same power as him, starts punching Mob. The beating is interrupted by Reigen, who threatens to shoot Toichiro with Sakurai's gun. The shot is not effective, so Reigen tries to talk with the boss, and then suddenly punches him. Unfortunately, Toichiro evades the attack by using ethereal clone, and uses one of his powers to blow Reigen up. Serizawa appears at last moment, saving Reigen. At that moment, Mob hits 100% (Rage), and decides to actually fight with Toichiro, who tries to kill Reigen, Serizawa and Sho. All of them fall out from on top of the Seasoning Cultural Tower, but they are saved by Minegishi. Then Toichiro starts to shoot against Mob's friends. Shigeo starts to fight with the boss and isolate himself and his opponent using Telekinesis, by lifting up the entire top of the tower.

Anime and Manga Differences
