As Rohan plans to keep taking pages from Koichi to inspire his manga works, the safety lock written inside Koichi prevents him from asking Josuke and Okuyasu for help. However, Josuke and Okuyasu manage to deduce what's happening from a wound on Koichi's hand and head inside Rohan's house. Rohan uses his manuscript to put Okuyasu under Heaven's Door's power, writing a safety lock that will cause him to commit suicide if Josuke tries to help him. Rohan then insults Josuke's hairstyle in order to provoke him into opening his eyes and viewing his manuscript, but this fails as Josuke is literally blinded by his rage that he doesn't even notice the manuscript. As Josuke beats Rohan to a pulp, Koichi explains that when Josuke came down with a fever when he was four years old, it was a student with a regent hairstyle who helped him and his mother get to a hospital in the middle of a blizzard, inspiring Josuke to copy his hairstyle and take offense to anyone who insults it.
