Yoma Hashimoto is recruited as a male model, and becomes quite successful, but also narcissistic and obsessed about his body shape. He encounters Rohan at the gym and after competing against him, becomes even more obsessive about his training. Eventually, he steals money from his girlfriend Mika to buy more equipment and she throws him out. At the gym, Rohan challenges Yoma to a contest on two treadmills in which the first to reach 25kph can grab the remote control and stop their machine. Rohan beats Yoma, who demands a rematch. This time, Yoma intimidates Rohan, and when he tries to grab the remote early, Yoma breaks three of Rohan’s fingers. He also smashes the window behind them so the loser will be propelled backwards through the window of the 8th floor of the Morioh Grand Hotel. Rohan uses Heaven’s Door and discovers that Yoma has killed anyone interfering with his training, including Mika and another gym patron. Yoma wins the contest, but Rohan had written on Yoma’s hand that he would stop Rohan’s treadmill instead of his own, so it is Yoma that is sent flying through the window. Rohan regrets that he crossed the line by sacrificing someone else who had become the avatar of the god of speed, Hermes, to save himself. |
