Katsumasa Hayami, Chairman of Toyo Electric Power Co.
During the postwar reconstruction of Japan,
he actively worked behind the scenes.
He set up a electric power company
and now holds one of the highest authorities in Japan.
He's one of the underground fixers along with Metsudo Katahara and Erio Kure.
Hayami was not happy with his old friend, Metsudo, being in control.
And had been planning a coup from the beginning.
I've returned the favor.
You see, he was kicked out of the tournament unwillingly.
So, we decided to offer him a job under better conditions.
But what a foolish event.
Metsudo went through all the trouble to gather national dignitaries in one place.
My Guardians have already surrounded the island.
There's no escape.
The guys from Hayami faction!
Serves them right!
I don't forgive traitors nor those who are incompetent.
Now, you all have two choices.
You can surrender and become a member of a new Kengan Association,
or be unaccounted for in an explosion that's about to go off in this dome.
Right, Metsudo?
METSUDO KATAHARA CHAIRMAN OF KENGAN ASSOCIATION
REBEL FLAG
A night performance, prepared by Dainippon Bank
is currently taking place on the stage.
Please enjoy this extraordinary entertainment
to the fullest.
Shit! They came out of nowhere!
Who are they?
This situation doesn't seem as simple as an ambush by rival companies.
They've surrounded us in a secluded place.
They came prepared.
This is bad.
Cosmo is still in bad shape too.
Kaneda, take care of him!
Adam!
I'm fine.
Shut up!
You're getting in my way!
Kaneda, go!
Uh, okay!
Adam! Adam!
TAKESHI WAKATSUKI FIGHTER FOR FURUMI PHARMA
REI MIKAZUCHI GOLD PLEASURE GROUP
REI MIKAZUCHI FIGHTER FOR GOLD PLEASURE GROUP
It's a checkmate, Metsudo.
Call off the tournament and resign as Chairman effective immediately.
What if I decline?
Then, I'll blow up the Kengan Dome.
Along with Kengan Association members and foreign dignitaries.
This could make you an enemy of the entire world, President Hayami.
That's fine by me.
I'll just climb my way up to the top of the world.
He's gone through so much trouble to prepare for this moment.
He must have a powerful backer.
Geez, how troublesome.
We still have a patient who's unable to move.
What a flashy show at this time of night.
A commoner could never experience this in their lifetime.
All right, then.
NOTICE OF FORFEIT OHMA TOKITA
Is this the correct way to write "Niko Style"?
Actually, this was the only lead I had to find out about Ohma's past.
But I guess it's useless now.
What is strength?
Are you sure you're not mistaken?
Do you know who I am?
Yeah, I know you well.
You're the drug pusher who runs this turf, right?
Word is, you're the strongest guy around here.
Show me what you've got.
Oh, right. I see. You have a death wish.
I bet killing junkies is the best you could do, you punk.
What the hell? What do you want?
Oh, I see.
You're trying to limit my moves.
So what?
You think all I can do is grapple?
You're too naive.
You'll be dead meat.
Is he holding something?
A tackle?
Don't mess with me!
This force…
I'm sure he's holding someth…
ADAMANTINE FORM IRONBREAKER
Okay. That was pretty good.
You get it now?
With a little creativity, you can even defeat stronger opponents.
But you still have a lot of wasted motions.
I can't give you a full score.
Well, today's field training ends here.
Let's go home and review, shall we?
What? We're done already?
I can still fight.
Oh, wow. You young ones have so much stamina.
I'm jealous, but it's not good to overdo anything.
That first right straight was a careless move.
If he was a professional grappler, it would've been over then and there.
And your striking form was off.
You can't cause damage efficiently that way.
So, yeah. You do have a lot to reflect on.
But, you're not wrong.
I have things to reflect on, but I'm not wrong?
What does that mean?
Hey, I know you're slacking off there.
I mean, your fighting style still has a long way to go
if I apply it to my common sense.
But you've survived, right?
Even if you prepare yourself theoretically with the best techniques,
if you can't protect yourself with them, that's just armchair theory.
There's no right answers to Inner Tactics to begin with.
But, what you can do is not make the wrong choice.
Niko Style is a way of walking.
If you remember how to walk, then you can take any path you want.
Your body is almost fully developed at your age.
If you have a strong body, you can use the techniques more effectively.
Looks like the time has come.
It's finally time for you to walk on your own.
Starting tomorrow, I'll initiate you to Niko Style's secret technique.
Over 100 kilometers to the west of Naka.
This is Gakigahara Forest.
I haven't been here since I learned the secret technique.
My friend, who also tried to learn the secret technique, died here.
I thought you created Niko Style.
Huh? Well, we'll get to that later.
We're here.
This is the center of the forest.
It's been bugging me since we entered the forest.
There's no living creatures here.
Gakigahara forest, as a whole, has a strong magnetic field.
Despite its huge land and rich soil,
no living things can survive here.
A forest of death that rejects all life forms.
Naka is heaven compared to this place.
So you returned from the forest of death, huh?
Nice.
This place is perfect for training.
What's this?
You'll be wearing weights on your limbs during our training.
Don't take them off until the training is over.
Each of them weighs ten kilograms. Or was it 11?
Never mind.
They're about 40 kilograms in total.
Man, you really don't care, huh?
Whatever's fine, but these weights won't make the training any harder.
So, what kind of training are we doing?
Weight training? Or are doing Kata?
Take your stance. We're sparring.
You're gonna fight me with those weights on
and the training won't end until you can land a hit on me.
Of course, I won't go easy on you.
What?
Hey, you've got to be joking. Even without these--
You still think that I'm joking?
He's serious.
If you can overcome by working hard as if your life depended on it,
that wouldn't be a trial.
Mastering something for the first time by accomplishing the impossible.
That's the secret technique.
What's that? Are you imitating a fan?
Hey, don't just lie there.
The ground is not leveled.
You can't even keep up with the basics?
Get up. We're not done.
What is this? You can't move already?
You're all talk, huh?
Oh well.
It's the first day of training. I'll let you rest early today.
Make sure you recover yourself.
It hurts.
My left leg is…
It's no use.
My bones, muscles and my whole body have reached their limit.
There's no way I can fight properly in this state.
I guess there's no time to whine.
First, I need to treat my wounds and find something to eat.
Then I'll sleep until sunrise.
Break's over. Take your stance.
You're too careless.
Who said you can rest until morning?
I told you that my friend died here, right?
Do you want to die here too?
It's almost day break.
The first day of training is over.
After a little rest, we'll start the second day of training.
And the second day of training.
What's the matter? Are you even trying?
Followed by the first day of training,
Ohma was being tossed around by Niko.
To be more specific, his moves were definitely slower than the first day
due to the accumulated physical damage.
The second day of training ended with him achieving nothing.
Ow…
All right.
Time to eat.
He had found wild medical herbs and nutritional food.
Ohma was already
beginning to adapt to the environment of Gakigahara forest.
Just you wait, old man.
I'm gonna knock you down tomorrow!
The third day of training.
FLOW CONTROL, WATER AND HEAVEN FORM WATER SWALLOW
The damage was steadily accumulating.
But his body had reacted to this abnormal situation.
By excessively secreting endorphins,
that have five or six times more analgesic effect than morphine,
he was able to move as well as he normally would.
Your brain's secreting natural drugs like never before, right?
Remember how it feels to remove your limiter.
FLOW CONTROL FORM WILLOW
The third day of training is over.
Fourth day.
Fifth day.
Sixth day.
W-What was that?
W-Who are you?
I see. So we've suppressed the area.
H-Hey! What happened to the fighters out there?
I told them not to go easy on those who put up a fight.
Just hope that your precious fighters are safe and sound.
This is bullshit!
Did you say something, little bug?
I'll climb to the top by my own power!
I don't need your help!
Wow. Fairy's got some balls.
Shut it! To be honest, I'm on the verge of peeing my pants.
I think President Yoshitake speaks for everyone here.
Except some of them, right?
I'd like to take this opportunity to give you my answer.
I'd never want to be your accomplice.
What about you, Akira?
AKIRA NISHIHONJI PRESIDENT OF NISHIHONJI SECURITY SERVICES
Your late father was a loyal subject of mine.
A loyal subject, huh?
I wonder who's the one
that ordered President Urita's father to get rid of that loyal subject.
My father was your puppet.
He had to obey your order to kill President Nishihonji's father.
We're different. You can't control us!
You're a bunch of fools who can't even anticipate the next move.
Forget it. Get lost.
ERIO KURE PATRIARCH OF KURE FAMILY
Did you really think we didn't know what you were up to?
Oh, dear.
Wha…
Fifty of the best members of the Kure family have arrived.
You've suppressed the island, you said?
We knew the execution time and the routes from the very beginning.
You'd shift to plan B, once all your pawns were out of the tournament.
That is, to carry out the coup.
That was your plan, wasn't it?
I had the Kure family evacuate beforehand.
RAIAN KURE FIGHTER FOR UNDER MOUNT, INC.
These idiots! They've really carried out a terrorist attack!
The pieces are in place. Now, shall we start the game?
Erio!
Metsudo!
A secret technique initiation!
Memories of hell comes back to mind.
After facing death numerous times, the time has come!
Wake up, Ohma Tokita!
Next episode: "Melee."
