'Inuyashiki Last Hero' Episode 4 Spoilers: Naoyuki Ando to Team Up With Titular Character Against His Childhood Friend?
The third key character in the Japanese action-sci-fi anime series "Inuyashiki" may not have been given a mechanical body by the aliens, but he could be just the person that the titular character needs to take his archrival down.
Naoyuki Ando is described to be Hiro Shishigami's childhood friend and the only person in the entire world he could forgive for anything. Hiro calls him Chokko, which is just another way of reading the Kanji in his name. Naoyuki's kindheartedness and non-confrontational nature have often resulted in his classmates bullying him, and thus, he has decided not to come to school anymore.
But Hiro cares about him enough to continuously persuade him to come back, even bravely defending him from the bullies. This, however, only led to Naoyuki eventually fearing him and saying that he no longer wished to be friends with someone who killed people without mercy.

Hiro calmly accepted this before telling Naoyuki not to skip school again like they were just having a minor misunderstanding. However, one can't help but wonder just how much can Hiro forgive when it comes to his friend?
Will he be able to still view Naoyuki as a friend when the latter eventually teams up with Ichirou Inuyashiki in a mutual quest to bring him down when he goes berserk? Then again, will Ichirou and Naoyuki's teamwork be enough to bring a fearless killer down to his knees?
The previous episode also revealed that both Ichirou and Hiro have the ability to heal as well as to fly. What other skills do they possess, and how else will they use these to fulfill their own chosen paths?
