Though he fought his best, Akihiko was ultimately no match for Barton, who fatally injured Akihiko by slashing his throat. With his dying breath, Akihiko asked Barton to help him before Barton executed him by stabbing Akihiko with his sword backward, violently ending the life of the Yakuza boss.[4]
