Dwaine runs back outside and looks out and sees Johnny walking still and screams “Your’a heck’of’ a guy Johnny Trigger!!” Johnny looks back Dwaine waves at him and Johnny smiles at him and waves back and Hindi comes out and waves too. Johnny continues to walk again.

Johnny comes across a town and is attacked by Saku, a girl who has been searching for him sometime, she arrests him and tells him she’s finally caught him. Johnny appears at her side and bends down telling her she has the wrong guy she asks him did she. She looks at Johnny next to her and looks freaked out and then she looks down and notices she has arrested someone else. She jumps up as Johnny walks away and loses him in the crowd. Johnny reappears sitting atop a building and sees a young blond girl watching him from a building across the street. He looks at her and smiles at her; she cringes and blushes at him. Johnny faces her and puts his hand on his hips and asks her her name. She vanishes in thin air and Johnny cringes at the feel of a large power off in the distance into the desert. He wonders if it is perhaps XF fighting someone else and merely turns and walks awayJohnny is next shown in a restaurant and rushes out and sees a demonic being in the street XF is standing on the opposite end of the street. Johnny sees XF has been beaten and banged up really bad, he rushes to his aid and XF tells him to stay back. XF engages the demon in a battle that is short lived and Johnny steps in before the demon can finish him off. Johnny asks him his name and the beast replies its name is Devil Dasher Helios Tri. Johnny asks him why they are fighting he replies because they have to kill each other. Johnny challenges it to fight and succeeds in beating him, but is later scolded by XF for interfering.

The people from the restaurant run out and see XF and JT standing there and they all freak out and run away from them. JT tells XF to not make a stupid decision of fighting after being beaten like he was again. A young woman is seen watching them with the small blonde girl from the previous episode atop a building. After awhile of listening XF and JT bicker they leave. JT asks them after they have leave if he noticed them. XF replies asking if he thinks they work for Tri. JT is unresponsive, as he walks around him and picks up a small kitten and puts it his cloak. XF watches him as JT walks up to him and JT tells him to follow him. JT leads him to a small shrine in the middle of town and points to Tri on the other side and attacks him and is knocked back Mono. XF steps up along with JT and as they prepare to battle, but the Mono and Tri are called back telepathically by Rex. Mono and Tri disappear, unbeknownst to XF and JT why they left. JT ask XF who the other one was, but XF walks away before JT could really ask. JT leaves and goes to a hotel he's shown resting in his room lying on the bed. That next morning he leaves the hotel and wanders through town and sees Moriona bargaining with a shop keeper, Johnny walks up and over hears them aurguing about her paying him and Johnny sees shes crying and pays for her things. She thanks him and ask him to help her take it home. Johnny helps her with her stuff and thinks of how much he regrets agreeing. After helping her she kisses his cheek and Johnny thanks her and leaves. Afterwards he sees her again, this time shes being chased by a strange man who seems to know her. Johnny steps in and the two fight as she watches on. During the fight, Johnny notices he's more powerful than a normal human, he does as well introduces himself as Ryua Mansty, Johnny introduces himself to him as well. They continue to fight but it is interrupted by X-Factor, who takes Ryua out in a single blow. XF tells Johnny not to infer in his fights again. Johnny goes and checks on Moriona who is still crying. He helps her up and XF drags him off. Johnny apologizes to her for XF. Johnny is next shown following XF into an underground arena, where XF tells him he needs to become stronger so they will be ready the next time the Devils return. Johnny is offered by XF a spot in a tournament he accepts his spot right after XF in the tournament as being number 6 in a 10-man tournament.

Johnny watches XF battle a boxer and beat him without getting hit. Johnny makes it a promise to not get hit in his fight either. When Johnny goes down to the fight area he is meet by his opponent who tries to manipulate him into forfeiting his fight and Johnny refuses. Johnny is then attacked by 3 other men from behind, he blocks both their attacks with one hand and swings his arm and then turns and walks past Taolim, his opponent. Johnny is shown sitting in the fight zone, waiting on his fight to start. Then he sees someone walking through the gate, and sees Ryua Mansty come out who seems anxious for another confrontation. Johnny denoses his intervention and quotes a cockney expression "I'm as queer as a clockwork orange about fighting you again." The two battle the fight seems in the favor of Johnny until Johnny notices Ryua is just taking hits rather than trying to avoid them. Ryua releases his full power unveiling 2 other arms seemingly made of iron. Johnny is then held at his mercy until Johnny uses a new power forcing his hair up into 7 spikes, the next taller than the last, Ryua seems a little discourage but continues his onslaught. Johnny uses his new power and makes quick work of Ryua's new arms ripping them both off and defeats him without getting hit again. After the battle, Ryua tells him next time he won't hold back, Johnny assures him that he won't either. Johnny rejoins XF in the stands XF tells him he should have beaten him quicker insinuating Johnny wasn't using his full power. They are next seen leaving the arena at night time, the cat Johnny put inside his cloak recently reappears from his cloak sitting atop his head, Johnny smiles and XF attacks him Johnny quickly dodges and ask him why he did that, XF replies keeps us on our toes. Johnny notices another power level and sees another kind of Devil Dasher. It is Rex, he says he's come to tell the two fighters to withdraw from the tournament. XF ridicules him and calls him weak minded. Johnny humbely refuses. Rex tells them they will regret it and vanishes.

Mono refuses to tell him calling him an underling, Johnny attacks him at his full power and is beaten quickly, he then passes out and before Mono strikes him down Viola screams"Stop!" to Mono he then stops allowing Johnny to use his new power which he has now named "War Trigger". After a grueling battle against Mono, he mortally wounds him forcing Mono to retreat. Johnny goes and sees the girl learning her name is Viola by reading a bracelet she had on her wrist. As they talk the tower begins to collapse, the two escape by jumping out of a crack in the castle wall made during the battle.

Johnny leads her through the forest ,which seemingly confuses them both, as they walk Johnny holds her hand which seems to make her uneasy. Johnny stops and pushes her into bushes and deflects a large concentrated beam of energy. The blast unknowing takes a large toll on him.

Power & Abilities
Although he was trained by the Devil Dasher's he is extremely powerful and most of his powers are highly unstable and cannot be used in unison with each others, such the ability named War Trigger and Crimsion Neon can't be used together. His power as stated by the DDH's is comprised of magic, and the power X-Factor has, it has been called Reishi or Stralium. As of late he has been shown to be even more powerful than the Ring of Devils Group.

Enhanced Strength: Although Johnny is very young he is very powerful, being commonly compared to XF, but due to his style he takes it as an insult. Johnny has the supposed power of a young prepubescent demon. He has been seen during the new arc to slowly be becoming more powerful than the Devil Dashers.

Enhanced Durability: Although, most of Johnny's powers are considered to be underdeveloped Johnny's defense level is highly developed giving him the ability to be stabbed several times and continue to fight and treat his normally mortal wounds as mere scratches.

Levitation: This is ability gives Johnny the temporarily ability to levitate only a few feet above the ground he uses it only to catch his footing and to regain composure or when he doesn't want to walk up a tall hill.

Advanced Swordsman Skill: Johnny has almost over night developed well rounded swordsman ship skills. With the sword he can match the level of skill as X-Factor who has held a sword for twenty years now. War Trigger: A power that forces Johnny's hair into 7 spikes. In this stage his body becomes light and almost invincible. In this stage, however, no other power he has can be used. It's been stated that this power if used with the others creates a flux of powers, forcing both to close. In this stage he is much faster even with the weight shoes on, even more durable, and 3x stronger than normal.And develops a type of energy blast that he calls '''Tranquility. '''

However, in this stage he has a time limit of only six minutes which he goes over in most of the fights he uses it in.

Tranquility: Tranquility is the only power of Johnny's which can be used in unison with another. It is massive beam of sometimes but most of the time blue energy. It is most of the time only used in battle as a sneak attack. Although, it is highly versatile, it is still unable to used in unison with Phantom's Gold. The beam in the resent episodes has been shown being able to turn corners and used in unison with Crimson Neon, as released from the tip of blade giving it more force of power as it can used along with the blade's own powers.

Crimson Neon: Is Johnny ability to create a strange black broad sword, created entirely of his energy. It is highly durable and has no time limit like War Trigger. He can only use it if he is in physical contact, as shown whenever it leaves his hand it slowly evaporates. It seems to be unable to cut humans only the Devil Dasher Helios.

Phantom's Gold:This is the most unstable and most undeveloped power in Johnny's arsenal. It seems to consist of Johnny using another's power and creating a barrier of magic, that allows him to protect the ones within the barrier. He, however, is vulnerable to any attacks from inside the barrier and is restricted on the barrier's size and durability.

Hell Bound Immortal Mode:

In this stage, he is referred to as a premature Devil Dasher Helios, similar to Devil Dasher Helios Innuendo Savior. His body is transformed into the same format of a Devil Dasher. Most of his powers stabilize more and Crimson Neon can be used used in unison with other powers, as has been shown so far. The power made its first appearance in his battle with Devil Dasher Helios Rex in the second arc. Due to Johnny's level as of lately the power itself stabilizes the others but, it is unstable itself, as shown in the fight with Rex.
