Is he…?
No,
who said he was dead?!
GAME SEVEN
That's right. He's alive!
Even the grim reaper rejected him.
He's the most heinous murderer in Japanese criminal history!
Standing 201 cm tall and weighing 147 kg.
His Kengan match record is one win and no losses.
Representing Juoh Communications,
also known as "The Bloody Tusk,"
Yohei Bando!
YOHEI BANDO FIGHTER FOR JUOH COMMUNICATIONS
RESURRECTION
THE UNIVERSITY OF TEITO
Doctor!
I can't believe this!
He was definitely dying.
It's impossible for
the medical institution on this island to kill the virus that I used.
Is there a medical facility on this island that we don't know about?
Or did Yohei Bando have an antibody against the virus?
Oh, I see. It's so simple.
I can't prove it, but…
there's only one company who can deal with that virus.
YUKIO DAZAI PRESIDENT OF TEITO UNIVERSITY
Let me hear your excuse.
Why did you undertake Bando's treatment?
Answer me, Heihachi Furumi!
Bando was supposed to die.
Depending on your answer, I'll make sure you suffer.
I'm in the pharmaceutical business.
I'll save whoever they may be, if they ask for help.
Saving him could lead to many more victims!
I doubt that'll happen.
There's no way President Takada hasn't come up with some sort of countermeasure.
What about the fighters?
Bando is not a martial artist.
He can only win by killing the opponent.
No need to worry about that either.
After all, he's up against Sen Hatsumi.
TAKESHI WAKATSUKI FIGHTER FOR FURUMI PHARMA
"A true self-defense is to become friends with the one who came to kill you."
"And to prevent a fight from starting."
Apparently, that's "the highest state of martial arts."
I can't agree with it at all.
That just means we should keep training and try to reach that state.
Come on, Wakatsuki.
You sound like a teacher's pet.
Generally speaking, those who are called experts
are the ones who did reckless stuff when they were young.
And once they become old geezers,
they all start talking like they're saints.
It's ridiculous.
We fight because we want to win, right?
That goes for me
and you.
Sen Hatsumi.
He's the moodiest fighter I've ever known.
When he's in a bad shape,
he would struggle against a weaker opponent.
But when he's in his peak condition,
I didn't stand a chance against him.
Two men have defeated me.
The Fang of Metsudo, Agito Kanoh.
And…
"the Floating Cloud," Sen Hatsumi.
Hatsumi has the tendency to boost his condition
by fighting matches in a short span of time.
His second round.
I wonder how warmed up he is.
That Hatsumi. It's so unlike him to create such a threatening atmosphere.
Huh?
He's just putting on a brave front.
Geez.
I can't get used to these so-called matches.
Same here.
I guess this is troublesome for the both of us.
That's right. Out of all the predictions I've made,
this is one of the more unfavorable situations.
Bando is the worst opponent for me.
Are you ready?
Begin!
He's making the first move. That's so unlike him.
What is he doing?
Moving around blindly will only exhaust your stamina.
I don't get it.
What's Hatsumi trying to do?
You can never tell what he's thinking. He's always been like that.
But you know what, Doc? I can assure you one thing.
He won't work that hard to make meaningless moves.
I see.
You know, don't you?
A hand chop? An elbow drop?
What's your move?
Kill him.
A-An eye poke!
He gouged his left eye out!
That's…
The spot where Hatsumi was standing has exploded.
What happened?
You're incredible, Hatsumi.
H-He's been blinded!
No, he hasn't.
His left eye is red, but it's still there.
Not good enough.
What? Again?
Something exploded behind him!
I can't see anything. It's too fast.
Hatsumi.
I'm not surprised Sayaka can't see it.
Did his arms get longer?
Is it an illusion?
Even amongst the fighters, I bet only a handful of them can see this move.
Obviously, the audience can't see anything.
If I didn't have his information beforehand,
I don't know if I'd be able to dodge them.
The first thing that Hatsumi found strange were the defensive wounds.
There were no defensive wounds on the bodies of Bando's victims.
What does that mean?
It means that the victims didn't see the attack coming when they were killed.
But, according to a survivor,
Bando was standing in front of the victim during the attack.
This means,
he didn't lie in ambush.
What Hatsumi focused on was Bando's death penalty record.
Bando has survived 45 executions.
Hatsumi came up with an outrageous hypothesis.
Periarticular inflammation on both shoulders.
Articular surface tears on his right shoulder.
I see.
It's his hands.
That's right!
Hyper-flexibility.
I see.
So, his arms looking longer wasn't an illusion.
He dislocated his joints and extended his reach.
What's wrong, doctor?
Why didn't he use this in the first round?
G-Good point.
It's a move that even official fighters like you can't follow at first glance.
Then why didn't he use that move in the first round?
He had no intention of using it?
Or he couldn't use it?
The mysterious explosions continue!
What on earth is going on here?
Hatsumi missed his chance.
If only he'd completely blinded him back then.
That arm movement should require a high level of accuracy.
If he had blinded one eye and taken away his sense of distance,
he could've nullified that move.
You missed a very big chance.
Hatsumi, I knew.
Your seemingly useless moves in the beginning of the match…
You were trying to figure out how far my arm can reach.
The sweating and your shortness of breath…
I know that you're moving around a lot,
but it's unnatural to exhaust so much energy early on in the match.
Which means, that was mental fatigue.
You were afraid.
One wrong move and you'll be dead.
You jumped into the jaws of death.
Impressive.
You've overcome your fear and are fighting well.
Hatsumi, you're amazing.
There are only four patterns to his arm movement.
From above or from the side,
and with his right arm or left arm.
Don't miss the inception of attack.
Left arm, side slash!
From above?
Sen!
What just happened?
Hatsumi slumped over forward!
That was close!
He changed course at the last minute.
You thought you're the only one who read the move?
You're being reckless.
You loosened your body at the moment of impact
to redirect the damage.
He used Kanoh's move.
But I intend to kill you with my next move.
Idiot.
Only a second rate fighter falls for a move they've seen through.
I'm sorry, but I'm a top class fighter.
The one that's gonna end is you, Bando.
Left?
The right was a feint?
Wow, it's exploding again!
Is this terrorism?
Referee, why won't you stop them?
He's clearly using a weapon!
Are you sure?
It's fine. Don't worry about the audience.
It's their fault they can't see the move.
We shouldn't throw a wet blanket over it.
Especially when the match is closing to an end.
What are you, a snake?
Were you going to strangle me to death?
I'm not impressed.
Was that aikido?
It won't work on me.
Did you watch the first round?
I feel sorry for you. I'm out of your league.
Your technique is inferior to mine.
You will be killed by me.
Bando was enjoying the hunt.
He chased the prey to drain his stamina.
There's no rush. I'll hit him eventually.
That'll be the end.
Hatsumi had already noticed what Bando was up to.
So,
he ran into the jaws of death once again!
Yes. That's the only way.
Everything went just as Bando planned.
Up until this point.
Huh?
I see. So there's another way.
He pinned down the bone.
Originally, that technique is used to pin down shoulder and elbow joints, right?
But joint technique won't work on Bando, who has hyper-flexibility.
So he used it on bones instead of joints.
Well done.
So, you used the normal joint technique on me first
to let my guard down.
You've had me in the palm of your hand.
Geez.
He's got me.
HATSUMI STYLE AIKIDO HUNDREDS MEETINGS THROW
Hatsumi Style aikido, "Hundreds Meetings Throw."
You were the worst match-up for me.
But in the end, it's all good.
Thanks to you, I was able to get into my peak condition.
Match over!
The winner is Sen Hatsumi!
Hatsumi!
He did it!
No way!
Hey.
You're not dead, are you?
Hey, Bando!
Oh, man. I lost.
He's alive!
You pulled your vertebrae inside your body to reduce the impact, huh?
A normal person would've been dead.
I did sustain a lot of damage too.
I won't be able to move normally for a while.
If you want to kill me, now would be your chance--
Oh, hell no.
I don't kill people.
I see.
But didn't your boss sign a contract with Dazai?
Well, I'm sure they'll figure something out.
My boss is pretty sneaky like that.
You're a strange man.
Oh, could you tell me one thing while we're at it?
Why didn't you use your arm move in the first round?
Oh, that.
You probably already know if you've seen my chart,
but that move puts a lot of strain on my muscles.
I'm able to handle it now because I've bulked up.
Even then, it's still very risky. So I wasn't going to use it.
But after the first match, I had this feeling that I couldn't shake off.
And I thought,
maybe this is the feeling of "wanting to win."
I guess I wanted to defeat you.
Well, that's an honor.
Can I ask for a re-match some day?
I decline.
I mean, you're on death row.
Will there even be a "some day?"
SEN HATSUMI ADVANCES TO THIRD ROUND
Fang won't be a problem if I'm in my peak condition.
Don't worry.
If all goes well, the next Chairman of the Kengan Association is you, pops.
If all goes well, that is.
He's the very picture of a sleazy good-for-nothing.
You've no idea how much you've cost me.
But, I know.
You hate to lose more than anyone.
OHMA TOKITA FIGHTER FOR YAMASHITA CORPORATION
KAZUO YAMASHITA PRESIDENT OF YAMASHITA CORPORATION

Unwavering belief.

Arrogance or big headed?
He's challenging the Thai God of War to a boxing match?
