It's confirmed, RIP to a real one. On one hand, Wakui gave Draken a farewell befitting his stature. On the other hand, I still feel it's unnecessary as it seemed there was setup for him to have a major role in this arc, ie teaming with Mitchy and a fight with South. He didn't get to see Mikey one last time, and their last encounter was Mikey kicking his ass
. Then, the fact it was no name goons that off-ed him is just salt on the wound. The last thing is yep, this return trip already a failure, and that last panel of Mikey. I mean if looks could kill...
Given the sacrifice, looks like Senju is gonna be the key to salvaging what's left of this.
