His feelings of not being good enough manifest themselves as a powerful anger at Akira for "always acting superior," and he massacres everyone at Meal of Duty before he also goes to hunt Akira down. Keisuke is also driven to take a high concentration dose of Line after being told off by Akira at the hotel. Before Takeru dies from the blood, he is killed by Keisuke. While he is tormenting him, he accidentally ingests some of Akira's blood, and starts convulsing, which allows Akira the chance to escape. Since they were on even fighting grounds previously, with the addition of Line, Takeru easily subdues Akira. In his drugged state, he hunts down Akira, obsessed with showing the champion the humiliation of defeat. Most Line users believe that they can defeat Il Re as long as they have Line, despite the fact that Il Re remains undefeated even after being challenged many times.Ī 50% concentration of the drug is given to Takeru by Nano, who, after some moral deliberation, decides to take it. Line is used by most Igura participants, as anyone who does not naturally excel at fighting will quickly lose to someone taking it.
It is, however, possible to quit Line, but due to the extreme addictive properties of the drug, doing so would require the help of someone else who can take care of the person trying to quit and cut off their access to Line.Īn Igura participant taking Line using a rubber dropper The only person known to have been cured using this method is Keisuke, who has an unusually high compatibility for the drug. However, it is very potent and kills most people who ingest it before it can cure them.
A person can be cured by ingesting his blood. There is no known cure to Line up until the discovery is made that Akira is the anti- Nicole. The drug is usually taken using a rubber dropper, so that very small doses can be taken. However, anything higher than 10% is very difficult to find. Line is distributed mostly in a 10% concentration, but concentrations of up to 40% exist on the market. However, Line will eventually cause the user to lose control of themselves and go into a fit of destructive rage before their ultimate death due to incompatibility. Line (ライン, sometimes translated as "Rain") is a translucent, orange-yellow colored liquid drug based in Toshima, which heightens the user's instincts to a superhuman extent and gives them unbelievable physical strength.
