1
00:00:12,846 --> 00:00:17,600
Humans are meat bags
filled with blood and feces.

2
00:00:18,184 --> 00:00:21,479
That's what he thought all his life.

3
00:00:22,022 --> 00:00:28,236
Assassin's Fist, the head of
Lightning Spirit Style, Rei Mikazuchi.

4
00:00:29,070 --> 00:00:33,950
For Rei, assassination meant nothing.

5
00:00:34,743 --> 00:00:39,664
Killing was the same as breathing in
and breathing out.

6
00:00:40,373 --> 00:00:43,126
Killing was the same as eating.

7
00:00:43,793 --> 00:00:46,463
Killing was the same as taking a dump.

8
00:00:47,088 --> 00:00:49,299
Killing was his everyday routine.

9
00:00:50,049 --> 00:00:54,804
Hesitation nor mercy
exist in everyday routine.

10
00:00:56,389 --> 00:01:00,602
Rei will kill silently again today.

11
00:01:00,685 --> 00:01:02,604
That was the plan.

12
00:01:04,939 --> 00:01:08,318
Oh, a guest so late at night?

13
00:01:09,069 --> 00:01:11,362
Are you here to kill me?

14
00:01:14,824 --> 00:01:18,870
Rei Mikazuchi has found love!

15
00:01:21,456 --> 00:01:22,290
SIX MONTHS LATER

16
00:01:22,373 --> 00:01:25,877
There. I win.

17
00:01:28,463 --> 00:01:31,549
Rei, about that talk we had…

18
00:01:32,217 --> 00:01:35,720
Yeah. I think you're right, Rino.

19
00:01:37,096 --> 00:01:41,434
Assassins exist in the darkest part
of the underground society.

20
00:01:42,310 --> 00:01:46,940
As long as I continue to kill,
I'll never be able to stand next to you.

21
00:01:50,527 --> 00:01:52,028
I've made my decision, Rino.

22
00:01:53,613 --> 00:01:56,991
I'll put a stop to Assassin's Fist,
Lightning Spirit Style.

23
00:01:57,909 --> 00:02:01,371
I'll create a new Lightning Spirit Style
from now on.

24
00:02:02,664 --> 00:02:06,835
Rino, I need you to arrange
a Kengan match right now.

25
00:03:39,010 --> 00:03:43,932
SUICIDE ATTACK

26
00:03:44,015 --> 00:03:47,435
All right!

27
00:03:48,186 --> 00:03:51,940
Saw Paing is a 30-year-old fighter
from Myanmar.

28
00:03:52,523 --> 00:03:57,195
His father is the famous fighter,
Pa Paing, from the Showa era.

29
00:03:57,278 --> 00:04:00,198
He is also the little brother
of the powerful fighter,

30
00:04:00,281 --> 00:04:03,451
Ne Win Paing, who suddenly passed away.

31
00:04:04,035 --> 00:04:09,999
He usually lives his life as a villager
of the Village of Dawn in Kyushu.

32
00:04:10,541 --> 00:04:13,127
FYI, there are no surnames in Myanmar.

33
00:04:13,211 --> 00:04:17,590
So he's using the village chief's surname
"Yoroizuka" for convenience.

34
00:04:17,674 --> 00:04:23,096
Apparently, Saw Paing has a secret move
that he didn't use in the first match?

35
00:04:23,179 --> 00:04:24,889
That's right!

36
00:04:24,973 --> 00:04:27,267
The ultimate killer move from Lethwei.

37
00:04:27,350 --> 00:04:30,186
It's a headbutt!

38
00:04:30,770 --> 00:04:35,316
Out of the last 18 matches,
he won eight of them with a headbutt.

39
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:40,280
And he won six of those matches
by using a headbutt as a counterattack.

40
00:04:40,780 --> 00:04:45,159
Indeed, if it's close range combat,
Saw Paing has the advantage.

41
00:04:46,369 --> 00:04:49,998
Though, I doubt he can win that easily.

42
00:04:50,540 --> 00:04:55,670
On the other hand,
Mikazuchi's abilities are still unknown.

43
00:04:55,753 --> 00:05:01,009
Yes.
Mikazuchi's speed is certainly a threat.

44
00:05:01,592 --> 00:05:06,014
I found nothing on that technique
or tactic in any of the books I've read.

45
00:05:06,097 --> 00:05:07,765
I see!

46
00:05:08,433 --> 00:05:12,270
Now, one is a hand-to-hand combat fighter
from Myanmar!

47
00:05:12,353 --> 00:05:16,524
The other is a mysterious fighter
who uses Assassin's Fist!

48
00:05:16,607 --> 00:05:21,904
The two fighters, who weren't supposed to
cross paths, are facing each other now!

49
00:05:23,906 --> 00:05:26,576
Yeah!

50
00:05:27,243 --> 00:05:29,454
I'm definitely going to win!

51
00:05:29,537 --> 00:05:32,290
I'm sorry,
but I don't intend to let you win.

52
00:05:33,041 --> 00:05:36,836
You're going to fall to the ground
in front of our love.

53
00:05:36,919 --> 00:05:41,257
Bring it on! I'm fired up!

54
00:05:42,216 --> 00:05:43,176
TWO YEARS AGO

55
00:05:43,259 --> 00:05:44,469
Big bro…

56
00:05:45,845 --> 00:05:51,267
Your late father used to be
a fighter as well.

57
00:05:51,976 --> 00:05:57,523
About five years ago, your brother,
Ne Win Paing, came to visit me.

58
00:05:58,399 --> 00:06:03,404
Ne Win Paing continued to win the matches
with his devilish power.

59
00:06:03,488 --> 00:06:06,741
But he ignored my advice to slow down

60
00:06:06,824 --> 00:06:10,745
and arranged matches at a reckless pace.

61
00:06:10,828 --> 00:06:16,918
And right after his last battle,
he collapsed and never woke up.

62
00:06:18,461 --> 00:06:20,338
I found out later

63
00:06:20,922 --> 00:06:26,302
that the village his brothers lived in
was on the verge of getting evicted.

64
00:06:27,470 --> 00:06:33,184
That they demanded exorbitant amounts
of money to revoke the eviction order.

65
00:06:34,227 --> 00:06:36,562
That idiot!

66
00:06:37,105 --> 00:06:39,899
Why didn't he depend on me?

67
00:06:40,733 --> 00:06:43,111
Fighters do not accept charity.

68
00:06:44,070 --> 00:06:45,738
That's what he always said.

69
00:06:46,572 --> 00:06:48,825
We lost the village in the end.

70
00:06:50,409 --> 00:06:52,829
Old man, I need a favor.

71
00:06:54,372 --> 00:06:56,124
I'll do anything.

72
00:06:56,207 --> 00:07:02,088
Please let the evicted villagers
and my brothers live in your village.

73
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:05,550
Don't worry, old man.

74
00:07:06,134 --> 00:07:09,095
I'm tougher than my brother.

75
00:07:09,804 --> 00:07:12,181
I'll take his place!

76
00:07:13,558 --> 00:07:14,517
That's right.

77
00:07:15,309 --> 00:07:17,145
I'm going to protect the village.

78
00:07:17,812 --> 00:07:19,897
I have to protect it!

79
00:07:21,023 --> 00:07:22,817
All right!

80
00:07:27,655 --> 00:07:28,698
Get ready!

81
00:07:32,493 --> 00:07:33,786
Begin!

82
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,752
I thought so. It didn't feel right.

83
00:07:42,503 --> 00:07:45,673
He had intended to receive the hit.

84
00:07:53,598 --> 00:07:55,391
LIGHTNING SPIRIT STYLE
ILLUSION STEP

85
00:07:55,975 --> 00:07:57,643
Illusion Step.

86
00:07:58,186 --> 00:08:00,855
The 65th head of Lightning Spirit Style,

87
00:08:01,522 --> 00:08:04,567
Sei Mikazuchi, came up with this step.

88
00:08:05,359 --> 00:08:08,237
An irregular mixture of
fast and slow steps

89
00:08:08,821 --> 00:08:13,284
will lead to "Flash of Lightning,"
Lightning Spirit Style's fastest move.

90
00:08:19,332 --> 00:08:22,251
Bring it!

91
00:08:23,002 --> 00:08:24,754
FLASH OF LIGHTNING

92
00:08:29,300 --> 00:08:31,928
Hm? That move…

93
00:08:32,637 --> 00:08:34,805
I see. That's what it is.

94
00:08:36,599 --> 00:08:38,226
Will you notice, Saw Paing?

95
00:08:38,851 --> 00:08:42,438
It seems like this match is in your favor.

96
00:08:45,525 --> 00:08:48,194
I'll cut the flesh and crush you!

97
00:08:49,695 --> 00:08:50,530
Left.

98
00:08:52,698 --> 00:08:55,326
He got hit on purpose for a counterattack.

99
00:08:56,786 --> 00:08:58,496
It's more than that.

100
00:08:59,038 --> 00:09:03,709
By curling up his body,
he reduced the exposure of his front side.

101
00:09:03,793 --> 00:09:07,004
This will limit the direction of
the opponent's attack.

102
00:09:07,088 --> 00:09:11,592
However, his spine will be defenseless
in this position.

103
00:09:11,676 --> 00:09:12,677
But,

104
00:09:13,344 --> 00:09:17,056
Saw Paing's spine is not a vital spot.

105
00:09:17,139 --> 00:09:20,017
Half-assed attacks
won't even put a crack in it.

106
00:09:21,686 --> 00:09:24,605
I said bring it!

107
00:09:41,205 --> 00:09:43,082
That must've hurt.

108
00:09:43,958 --> 00:09:46,961
Clearly, your strategy is not
for consecutive matches.

109
00:09:47,962 --> 00:09:51,173
And yet, why won't you go down?

110
00:09:55,845 --> 00:09:56,679
He's coming.

111
00:10:00,057 --> 00:10:01,058
What?

112
00:10:01,142 --> 00:10:02,351
Saw Paing dodged?

113
00:10:06,022 --> 00:10:08,524
S-Sayaka, what's going on?

114
00:10:08,608 --> 00:10:09,817
He's dodging!

115
00:10:09,900 --> 00:10:12,987
Saw Paing is dodging the attacks!

116
00:10:13,070 --> 00:10:17,199
That super human, who blew off
countless types of attacks head on,

117
00:10:17,283 --> 00:10:20,953
is trying to get away
from his opponent's attacks!

118
00:10:29,337 --> 00:10:33,924
There it is! "Burmese Iron Hammer!"

119
00:10:34,008 --> 00:10:37,637
He may have missed,
but look at that power!

120
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,182
If you get hit by that,
you'll be unconscious for sure!

121
00:10:46,771 --> 00:10:48,397
He's strong.

122
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:50,358
That was close.

123
00:10:50,900 --> 00:10:54,862
I was fixated on landing my attacks
and got too close to him.

124
00:10:54,945 --> 00:10:57,323
That's what he was waiting for.

125
00:10:59,116 --> 00:11:00,868
He's a cunning boy.

126
00:11:01,452 --> 00:11:06,666
He knew Rei would step in closer and
planned to counterattack with a headbutt.

127
00:11:07,291 --> 00:11:10,378
Rei would've gotten a direct hit
if he was a little closer.

128
00:11:11,462 --> 00:11:13,964
I guess he learned to use tactics.

129
00:11:14,465 --> 00:11:17,718
It seems he has stepped up as a fighter.

130
00:11:18,386 --> 00:11:20,221
All right!

131
00:11:21,097 --> 00:11:23,015
You can dodge that?

132
00:11:23,099 --> 00:11:24,475
You're amazing!

133
00:11:24,558 --> 00:11:26,227
I don't need you tell me.

134
00:11:26,977 --> 00:11:29,021
I'm super amazing.

135
00:11:30,106 --> 00:11:33,484
The reason Kaolan thought
Saw Paing was in favor

136
00:11:34,443 --> 00:11:36,445
was because of Mikazuchi's strategy.

137
00:11:37,363 --> 00:11:42,535
A lot of Lighting Spirit Style's moves
are focused on assassination.

138
00:11:42,618 --> 00:11:45,663
In another words, they use a weapon

139
00:11:46,288 --> 00:11:51,627
in order to kill their target
with the minimum number of attacks.

140
00:11:52,628 --> 00:11:58,008
If weapons were allowed,
this match would've been over by now.

141
00:11:58,592 --> 00:12:03,973
However, we still don't have a winner
in this Kengan match.

142
00:12:05,099 --> 00:12:08,018
It must be a dilemma for an assassin.

143
00:12:08,602 --> 00:12:13,315
They fixated on techniques to kill
and undervalued techniques to defeat.

144
00:12:14,108 --> 00:12:19,697
But Kaiwan Style's Gensai Kuroki
had a top class defeating technique.

145
00:12:20,322 --> 00:12:23,951
That young one from Inaba Style
had it in him too.

146
00:12:24,034 --> 00:12:29,748
Well, let's see how good the young head
of Lighting Spirit Style is.

147
00:12:37,756 --> 00:12:41,677
Oh! Mikazuchi changed his stance!

148
00:12:42,428 --> 00:12:45,222
I promised the woman I love
that I won't kill.

149
00:12:47,266 --> 00:12:49,018
Don't you dare die.

150
00:12:57,735 --> 00:13:02,698
In 1588, a sword hunt edict was issued.

151
00:13:03,616 --> 00:13:07,203
Only samurai were allowed
to carry a sword.

152
00:13:07,953 --> 00:13:13,083
Most of those in the assassination
business weren't a samurai.

153
00:13:14,460 --> 00:13:18,339
They needed new assassination techniques.

154
00:13:19,215 --> 00:13:21,634
There were two main techniques.

155
00:13:21,717 --> 00:13:26,972
One was to kill by using something
that didn't look like a weapon.

156
00:13:28,307 --> 00:13:31,185
In another words,
a concealed weapon technique.

157
00:13:33,229 --> 00:13:37,024
Another technique
was to kill using your bare hands.

158
00:13:37,650 --> 00:13:42,571
"Flash of Lightning" is, so to speak,
a classic form of Lightning Spirit Style.

159
00:13:44,073 --> 00:13:48,619
As opposed to that,
this is a form that changes with time.

160
00:13:49,495 --> 00:13:52,081
It's the "Always-Up-to-Date" form.

161
00:13:57,545 --> 00:13:58,420
Here I come!

162
00:14:01,715 --> 00:14:04,301
XIAGUAN CHENGJIANG JING-MING
SI-BAI SHENTING YING-XIANG

163
00:14:04,385 --> 00:14:08,264
He changes the shape of his fist
depending on where he's hitting.

164
00:14:08,347 --> 00:14:11,934
This inflicts deeper physical damage.

165
00:14:12,017 --> 00:14:16,021
That is the Lighting Spirit Style's,
"Heat Haze."

166
00:14:39,336 --> 00:14:42,047
Mikazuchi wants to keep his distance!

167
00:14:42,131 --> 00:14:44,800
But Saw Paing is chasing him!

168
00:14:44,884 --> 00:14:45,718
Rei.

169
00:14:45,801 --> 00:14:49,972
You've got to be kidding me.
He cracked my bone in two hits.

170
00:14:50,848 --> 00:14:53,559
Rei's attacks aren't
really working on him.

171
00:14:54,101 --> 00:14:55,853
Is it because of their weight?

172
00:14:56,437 --> 00:14:59,064
No, it's not just their weight difference.

173
00:14:59,148 --> 00:15:01,734
The biggest factor is their compatibility.

174
00:15:02,860 --> 00:15:06,113
Those series of attacks by Rei Mikazuchi
were brilliant.

175
00:15:06,196 --> 00:15:09,533
His ability to change his attacks
for each vital spot

176
00:15:09,617 --> 00:15:13,454
and to hit them accurately
is worthy of admiration.

177
00:15:14,330 --> 00:15:15,831
He's unlucky.

178
00:15:16,373 --> 00:15:19,209
Of all fighters,
his opponent had to be Saw Paing.

179
00:15:19,293 --> 00:15:24,131
He has, without a doubt,
the hardest skull in the world.

180
00:15:24,214 --> 00:15:27,217
So hard that it could repel any attack.

181
00:15:27,801 --> 00:15:31,722
It's the complete opposite
to Bando's hyper flexibility.

182
00:15:31,805 --> 00:15:35,976
The hardness of his body frame and joints
tightened his muscles further,

183
00:15:36,060 --> 00:15:38,646
canceling out the
attacks to his vital spots.

184
00:15:38,729 --> 00:15:43,943
I wouldn't say he has no damage at all,
but it's effect is probably halved.

185
00:15:44,026 --> 00:15:47,655
It hurts! It's so damn painful!

186
00:15:47,738 --> 00:15:50,240
Saw Paing's rampage of attack!

187
00:15:50,324 --> 00:15:54,370
Mikazuchi is leaning towards defense now!

188
00:15:54,453 --> 00:15:57,873
You're so strong!

189
00:15:57,957 --> 00:15:59,458
But!

190
00:16:02,002 --> 00:16:04,421
I'm gonna win!

191
00:16:04,505 --> 00:16:06,423
A knee kick!

192
00:16:11,971 --> 00:16:16,141
I've caught you!

193
00:16:18,769 --> 00:16:20,187
BURMESE IRON HAMMER

194
00:16:37,705 --> 00:16:39,123
Inner power release.

195
00:16:39,206 --> 00:16:40,749
Short sword.

196
00:16:40,833 --> 00:16:42,459
Total protection.

197
00:16:43,085 --> 00:16:44,962
It penetrates the exterior

198
00:16:45,546 --> 00:16:48,924
and sends an impact straight into the
internal part of the body.

199
00:16:51,510 --> 00:16:54,430
Lightning Spirit Style,
"Brutal Lightning."

200
00:17:00,686 --> 00:17:03,814
Don't stop the tremor.

201
00:17:18,120 --> 00:17:20,247
He's prudent.

202
00:17:20,330 --> 00:17:23,000
Unless you're an expert like Muteba,

203
00:17:23,083 --> 00:17:26,170
it's very risky to hit
a moving target's eyes.

204
00:17:26,253 --> 00:17:31,717
He's hitting him continuously
in order to keep the brain moving.

205
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:36,930
There won't be much external injuries,
but the damage is definitely accumulating.

206
00:17:50,903 --> 00:17:52,946
What's driving him so much?

207
00:17:56,825 --> 00:17:57,826
Dad.

208
00:17:58,660 --> 00:18:00,204
Big bro.

209
00:18:00,788 --> 00:18:02,998
Don't worry.

210
00:18:05,918 --> 00:18:08,962
I'll protect my siblings.

211
00:18:09,797 --> 00:18:11,256
And…

212
00:18:13,550 --> 00:18:15,469
The Village of Dawn, too.

213
00:18:17,554 --> 00:18:21,809
I'll protect them at all cost!

214
00:18:26,230 --> 00:18:29,399
He stepped back!
Did he slip on blood and sweat?

215
00:18:29,483 --> 00:18:31,443
But he's not letting him go!

216
00:18:32,152 --> 00:18:35,447
Low kick! Random consecutive low kicks!

217
00:18:35,531 --> 00:18:37,991
His legs are swollen up!

218
00:18:38,075 --> 00:18:40,911
Oh! A kick from Mikazuchi!

219
00:18:40,994 --> 00:18:46,625
But that doesn't stop him! Saw Paing is
gaining momentum! He is in control!

220
00:18:59,179 --> 00:19:00,639
I'm sorry.

221
00:19:01,682 --> 00:19:05,144
I was better at reading the next move.

222
00:19:05,978 --> 00:19:08,147
Second punch in the jaw.

223
00:19:23,245 --> 00:19:28,667
Howling Fighting Spirit has fallen
in front of The Lighting God.

224
00:19:31,128 --> 00:19:32,296
We have a winner!

225
00:19:32,963 --> 00:19:37,092
The match is over!

226
00:19:37,176 --> 00:19:41,305
The suicide attacker from Myanmar
has fallen on Ganryu Island!

227
00:19:41,388 --> 00:19:46,351
This is probably the first KO loss
he's experienced in his life!

228
00:19:46,935 --> 00:19:51,857
The winner is
Mr. Oriental from the Far East,

229
00:19:51,940 --> 00:19:54,610
Rei Mikazuchi!

230
00:19:54,693 --> 00:19:57,070
H-He's so strong.

231
00:19:59,531 --> 00:20:02,201
The guy who's harder to fight has won.

232
00:20:03,327 --> 00:20:05,746
Oh, dear. That boy…

233
00:20:06,330 --> 00:20:09,458
He won the match but he looks unhappy.

234
00:20:10,375 --> 00:20:11,752
I need to work on this.

235
00:20:12,836 --> 00:20:16,089
I didn't think anyone could stand against
Lightning Spirit Style.

236
00:20:17,299 --> 00:20:19,218
I was overconfident.

237
00:20:21,178 --> 00:20:23,430
I must review the style's system.

238
00:20:24,973 --> 00:20:28,644
REI MIKAZUCHI
ADVANCES TO SECOND ROUND

239
00:20:35,484 --> 00:20:36,652
You're awake.

240
00:20:39,655 --> 00:20:40,614
Kaolan.

241
00:20:41,615 --> 00:20:44,660
The second headbutt was a careless move.

242
00:20:44,743 --> 00:20:48,080
He saw the attack coming
and used its impact against you.

243
00:20:49,331 --> 00:20:54,836
But if the first headbutt had hit him,
you would've won.

244
00:20:56,546 --> 00:20:57,798
What I want to say

245
00:20:58,465 --> 00:21:01,176
is that it was a very close match.

246
00:21:01,885 --> 00:21:05,514
You can make use of this experience
for the next match.

247
00:21:06,515 --> 00:21:09,309
Well, it's none of my business though.

248
00:21:14,022 --> 00:21:15,565
Saw Paing?

249
00:21:18,026 --> 00:21:20,946
I'm sorry, Kaolan.

250
00:21:22,906 --> 00:21:24,032
I've had enough.

251
00:21:25,242 --> 00:21:26,076
I…

252
00:21:26,702 --> 00:21:27,786
Can't…

253
00:21:30,455 --> 00:21:31,623
Had enough?

254
00:21:33,417 --> 00:21:35,752
You've had enough?

255
00:21:37,170 --> 00:21:39,423
What the hell are you saying?

256
00:21:40,007 --> 00:21:43,093
You are so much more than this!

257
00:21:43,176 --> 00:21:45,262
You lost once, so what?

258
00:21:45,345 --> 00:21:48,849
Aren't you the kind of man
who gets up however many times you fall?

259
00:21:48,932 --> 00:21:50,976
Answer me, Saw Paing!

260
00:21:58,191 --> 00:22:00,444
Kaolan, I…

261
00:22:01,486 --> 00:22:03,280
I can't fight anymore.

262
00:22:07,075 --> 00:22:08,452
You're pissing me off!

263
00:22:09,453 --> 00:22:12,873
I can't believe I let a wuss like you
treat me as your rival.

264
00:22:14,041 --> 00:22:16,752
I'm sick of you.

265
00:22:17,252 --> 00:22:20,255
Never show your face in front of me again.

266
00:22:24,468 --> 00:22:25,510
Kaolan.

267
00:22:27,137 --> 00:22:28,263
I don't have…

268
00:22:29,681 --> 00:22:31,516
a "next match" anymore.

269
00:24:05,068 --> 00:24:07,988
The beautiful beast is back.

270
00:24:08,071 --> 00:24:12,701
All he cares about is Ashura
and Ashura only.

271
00:24:12,784 --> 00:24:16,580
We'll find out how Rakshasa was born!

272
00:24:17,164 --> 00:24:19,291
Next episode: "An Old Friend."
