The Number 2 headband's current owner Justice fights and kills Rokutaro, Afro's father and owner of the Number 1 headband. Thus, whoever wears the Number 2 headband risks constant attack. However, only the Number 2 can challenge the Number 1 whereas anyone can challenge the Number 2. The only way to obtain the Number 1 headband is to challenge and defeat the current wearer in combat.
