EDIT: I will say, I do like how Gaku can't seem to talk his way out of this one and if he can't then no one else has any hope of doing so. It's gonna be The Homies vs Wagatsuma unless that mutual enemy steps in to distract them (which would be horrible timing on their part?)
Waga's loyality is foolish but admirable. It helps that in this timeline his father A) took a beating for him and B) wasn't framed for staging him getting jumped.
