MINORU TAKAYAMA

3
00:00:21,980 --> 00:00:23,231
Are you serious?

4
00:00:23,314 --> 00:00:24,232
Of course.

5
00:00:24,733 --> 00:00:26,484
It's a dangerous situation.

6
00:00:26,568 --> 00:00:28,987
You have such tremendous strength,

7
00:00:29,571 --> 00:00:31,990
but it makes you weak
when you're cornered.

8
00:00:32,073 --> 00:00:34,200
You proved that to me the other day

9
00:00:34,284 --> 00:00:35,910
in your match against Kaolan.

10
00:00:36,536 --> 00:00:39,080
So we'll have a deciding match right now

11
00:00:39,164 --> 00:00:41,958
to determine which of us
will represent our master.

12
00:00:42,959 --> 00:00:44,127
Any objections?

13
00:00:45,503 --> 00:00:48,381
I'm sure all of you think of me
as a giant fool.

14
00:00:49,424 --> 00:00:51,051
So it begins.

GATHERING CLOUDS

HIDEKI NOGI
NOGI GROUP DIRECTOR

36
00:02:42,620 --> 00:02:44,873
What a fantastic view.

37
00:02:44,956 --> 00:02:45,790
Hmm?

38
00:02:46,541 --> 00:02:49,669
This is a wonderful place
to watch the fights from.

39
00:02:50,170 --> 00:02:53,631
We have arrived at the precipice
of our imminent battle.

40
00:02:53,715 --> 00:02:56,426
Please be sure to go easy on our poor boy.

41
00:02:57,802 --> 00:02:59,512
You must be joking.

42
00:03:00,972 --> 00:03:03,683
You know, it may be too late to say this,

43
00:03:03,766 --> 00:03:06,060
but some might view
the moves you made to get here

44
00:03:06,144 --> 00:03:07,604
as a bit much.

45
00:03:08,188 --> 00:03:11,649
I never would've imagined
you'd fritter away your entire fortune

46
00:03:11,733 --> 00:03:14,360
just so you could be
on equal footing with me.

47
00:03:14,444 --> 00:03:17,488
I don't consider it
to be a waste of money.

48
00:03:17,572 --> 00:03:20,158
All that matters to me
in the end is winning.

49
00:03:20,241 --> 00:03:23,369
But that's not the only reason
I'm behaving this way.

50
00:03:23,995 --> 00:03:26,748
We're only equals until I surpass you.

51
00:03:28,166 --> 00:03:30,793
Well, I suppose
there's no arguing with you there.

52
00:03:31,336 --> 00:03:34,714
You're doing this to achieve
what your ancestors could not.

53
00:03:35,215 --> 00:03:38,218
I understand
why you've wasted your life on it.

54
00:03:39,385 --> 00:03:40,929
Bastard!

55
00:03:41,012 --> 00:03:44,182
Never underestimate
an old man's intuition.

56
00:03:44,265 --> 00:03:47,393
I always knew something didn't feel right.

57
00:03:47,477 --> 00:03:50,313
I've been suspicious
since the idea of a tournament

58
00:03:50,396 --> 00:03:52,607
was proposed in the first place.

59
00:03:53,650 --> 00:03:56,027
I knew from your history as a businessman

60
00:03:56,110 --> 00:03:58,321
that you were far more prudent.

61
00:03:58,821 --> 00:04:02,575
I could tell just from watching
the way you handled your affairs.

62
00:04:03,243 --> 00:04:04,953
Under normal circumstances,

63
00:04:05,036 --> 00:04:08,957
you are not the type of man
who is eager to take an obvious risk.

64
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,167
It always felt like a change of heart,

65
00:04:11,251 --> 00:04:13,711
and I was curious as to what caused it.

66
00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:17,173
So I decided to do some research,

67
00:04:17,257 --> 00:04:19,425
and what I discovered was, apparently,

68
00:04:19,509 --> 00:04:21,511
you had spent considerable resources

69
00:04:21,594 --> 00:04:25,223
gathering information
on a particular individual,

70
00:04:25,306 --> 00:04:27,558
interestingly, shortly before you demanded

71
00:04:27,642 --> 00:04:29,811
we hold
the Kengan Life-or-Death Tournament.

72
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,940
So I did some research on him as well.

73
00:04:34,023 --> 00:04:35,817
That's enough!

74
00:04:35,900 --> 00:04:38,778
A newcomer like you
would never understand.

75
00:04:39,404 --> 00:04:42,282
My ancestors ask one thing of me,

76
00:04:42,365 --> 00:04:43,866
to win this tournament.

77
00:04:43,950 --> 00:04:46,452
And I'll do so no matter the cost.

78
00:04:47,036 --> 00:04:51,165
And of course, I'm sure
our dear friend is none the wiser.

79
00:04:51,791 --> 00:04:54,794
Who could guess that an entire tournament
would be thrown

80
00:04:54,877 --> 00:04:56,671
just to face off with him?

81
00:04:56,754 --> 00:04:58,089
…out there!

82
00:04:58,172 --> 00:05:00,466
Yeah. I hear you, old man.

83
00:05:01,050 --> 00:05:02,969
SEN HATSUMI
NOGI GROUP REP. FIGHTER

84
00:05:05,555 --> 00:05:08,182
Whoa! What do we have here?

85
00:05:08,266 --> 00:05:12,186
Um… it looks like the two of them
are kind of friendly.

86
00:05:12,270 --> 00:05:15,273
Hmm. That's pretty weird, right?

87
00:05:15,356 --> 00:05:17,692
Yeah, I don't think
I've seen this before.

88
00:05:18,276 --> 00:05:21,738
Watching one fighter warming up
another fighter is kind of surreal.

89
00:05:21,821 --> 00:05:24,115
It doesn't matter
how close they are.

90
00:05:24,198 --> 00:05:27,076
They should think about
the companies behind them.

91
00:05:28,828 --> 00:05:31,706
Okay. How about one more time?

92
00:05:36,794 --> 00:05:39,547
Are those… warm-up exercises?

93
00:05:39,630 --> 00:05:42,383
Is this supposed to be
a Fang battle simulation?

94
00:05:42,467 --> 00:05:45,678
Well, judging from the looks
of their stances,

95
00:05:45,762 --> 00:05:47,847
I doubt their running a simulation.

96
00:05:48,348 --> 00:05:50,725
They're far too relaxed to be doing that.

97
00:05:50,808 --> 00:05:53,895
Cool. So he is just
helping him warm up then.

98
00:05:53,978 --> 00:05:55,271
No.

99
00:05:55,355 --> 00:05:56,773
Not him.

100
00:05:56,856 --> 00:05:59,025
That man has a reason for everything.

101
00:05:59,776 --> 00:06:01,110
He's convincing.

102
00:06:01,194 --> 00:06:03,613
We've all been charmed by Hatsumi already.

103
00:06:06,574 --> 00:06:07,784
Look at that.

104
00:06:07,867 --> 00:06:10,536
I never thought that I would see the day.

105
00:06:11,662 --> 00:06:14,290
Those two boys used to despise each other.

106
00:06:15,166 --> 00:06:16,709
And now look at them go.

107
00:06:16,793 --> 00:06:18,878
Who knows what'll happen next?!

108
00:06:21,381 --> 00:06:24,092
Ohma's movements
started gaining speed.

109
00:06:24,175 --> 00:06:25,385
And then…

110
00:06:25,885 --> 00:06:27,345
Whoa! Hang on.

111
00:06:27,428 --> 00:06:30,681
…the audience began noticing
that something was wrong.

112
00:06:37,188 --> 00:06:39,941
Huh? That attack should've landed!

113
00:06:46,656 --> 00:06:50,076
Incredible!
He's dodging at the last second.

114
00:06:50,159 --> 00:06:52,161
The distance he moves
to dodge the attacks

115
00:06:52,245 --> 00:06:53,788
is getting even smaller

116
00:06:53,871 --> 00:06:56,290
as Tokita's attacks are getting faster.

117
00:06:57,458 --> 00:07:00,503
Sen's ability
to dodge those attacks gets faster.

118
00:07:03,172 --> 00:07:04,674
To the naked eye,

119
00:07:04,757 --> 00:07:07,427
he appears
as though he remains standing still.

120
00:07:08,845 --> 00:07:10,263
I can't hit him.

121
00:07:11,222 --> 00:07:13,558
This is almost as fast as I can go.

122
00:07:15,226 --> 00:07:16,185
How's that?

123
00:07:16,769 --> 00:07:18,062
Wanna keep going?

124
00:07:18,563 --> 00:07:20,565
Mmm. No.

125
00:07:20,648 --> 00:07:22,442
I think that's enough for now.

126
00:07:23,025 --> 00:07:24,735
Thanks for the help, Tokita.

127
00:07:25,278 --> 00:07:27,280
I think my gear's in top shape now.

128
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:30,450
All right.

129
00:07:30,533 --> 00:07:31,909
Glad to hear it.

130
00:07:32,618 --> 00:07:33,786
Good luck out there.

131
00:07:34,704 --> 00:07:36,330
Try not to die today.

132
00:07:37,039 --> 00:07:37,874
Oh yeah.

133
00:07:38,499 --> 00:07:40,877
Although, knowing exactly
when to throw in the towel

134
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,171
is its own skill, I will say.

135
00:07:43,254 --> 00:07:44,422
Ohma, wait!

136
00:07:44,964 --> 00:07:47,175
How are you? Feeling okay?

137
00:07:47,258 --> 00:07:50,178
I told you, I'm fine. That was nothing.

138
00:07:50,261 --> 00:07:51,554
But still,

139
00:07:52,180 --> 00:07:54,515
I was not expecting that.

140
00:07:54,599 --> 00:07:58,352
I never thought you would be
willing to help out Sen Hatsumi.

141
00:07:58,436 --> 00:07:59,479
Yeah.

142
00:08:00,313 --> 00:08:01,772
I… know what you mean.

143
00:08:02,857 --> 00:08:05,568
Especially after what happened
the last time.

144
00:08:07,445 --> 00:08:11,782
Ohma is capable
of reflecting on his past actions?!

145
00:08:11,866 --> 00:08:12,950
Hey.

146
00:08:13,034 --> 00:08:15,495
I can see you got
something rude in your head.

147
00:08:15,995 --> 00:08:19,373
No, I have
nothing in my head at all.

148
00:08:20,541 --> 00:08:23,169
-I came to a realization.
-Huh?

149
00:08:24,837 --> 00:08:28,299
I finally figured out
why I was so pissed off at him.

150
00:08:30,551 --> 00:08:32,220
He reminds me of someone.

151
00:08:34,764 --> 00:08:36,349
He's just like him.

152
00:08:41,062 --> 00:08:44,398
So Hatsumi may have already joined us
here in the ring,

153
00:08:44,482 --> 00:08:45,900
but I'm gonna say it anyway.

154
00:08:46,526 --> 00:08:49,070
It's the final match of round three.

155
00:08:49,153 --> 00:08:51,614
Fighters, time to come on down!

156
00:08:54,158 --> 00:08:56,702
Both his motivation to fight
and his potential

157
00:08:56,786 --> 00:08:58,496
are a complete mystery.

158
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,708
How close this match ends up
comes down to how he feels.

159
00:09:02,792 --> 00:09:04,961
Who in the world do you think you are?!

160
00:09:05,628 --> 00:09:07,171
Don't let him fool you.

161
00:09:07,255 --> 00:09:10,591
He's so strong
that he's only ever lost by default.

162
00:09:11,259 --> 00:09:14,595
With the entire future of his sponsor
on the line here,

163
00:09:15,221 --> 00:09:18,182
he'll show off his Hatsumi-style aikido!

164
00:09:18,683 --> 00:09:22,728
At 178 centimeters and 84 kilograms,

165
00:09:23,229 --> 00:09:27,525
and with 41 wins and 15 losses so far
in the Kengan matches,

166
00:09:27,608 --> 00:09:29,318
his winnings total up to

167
00:09:29,819 --> 00:09:35,157
1,440,182,800,000 yen.

168
00:09:35,241 --> 00:09:37,702
Affiliated with Nogi Group,

169
00:09:38,494 --> 00:09:40,663
it's The Floating Cloud,

170
00:09:41,414 --> 00:09:45,334
Sen Hatsumi!

171
00:09:54,885 --> 00:09:58,222
And now,
the moment we've been waiting for.

172
00:09:58,306 --> 00:10:00,558
It's time for me to introduce

173
00:10:00,641 --> 00:10:02,059
his match opponent!

174
00:10:05,313 --> 00:10:08,649
His fighting style
is always in constant flux.

175
00:10:08,733 --> 00:10:11,027
It's impossible to predict!

176
00:10:11,110 --> 00:10:13,404
When he's against a strong fighter,

177
00:10:13,487 --> 00:10:16,365
he devours them and gets even stronger!

178
00:10:16,866 --> 00:10:18,075
Amazing!

179
00:10:18,159 --> 00:10:19,577
He's unrivaled!

180
00:10:19,660 --> 00:10:21,329
Extraordinary!

181
00:10:21,829 --> 00:10:26,959
Let the king of the Kengan matches
descend upon us peasants today!

182
00:10:27,460 --> 00:10:31,631
At 201 centimeters and 128 kilograms,

183
00:10:32,131 --> 00:10:37,219
with 159 wins and zero losses so far
in the Kengan matches…

184
00:10:37,303 --> 00:10:42,224
With 770,683,000 yen…

185
00:10:42,308 --> 00:10:44,477
Quite the haul for his company, I'd say,

186
00:10:45,144 --> 00:10:47,980
which is Dainippon Bank, or course.

187
00:10:48,064 --> 00:10:50,775
It's the Fang of Metsudo,

188
00:10:51,525 --> 00:10:56,322
Agito Kanoh!

189
00:11:01,243 --> 00:11:03,371
Fang! Fang!

190
00:11:03,454 --> 00:11:05,539
Fang! Fang!

191
00:11:06,123 --> 00:11:07,625
Fang!

192
00:11:07,708 --> 00:11:09,502
Fang! Fang!

193
00:11:09,585 --> 00:11:12,380
I would've preferred
you not come out at all.

194
00:11:14,799 --> 00:11:16,634
How very interesting.

195
00:11:16,717 --> 00:11:18,177
So he did it then.

196
00:11:18,260 --> 00:11:21,180
The current Fang
was able to defend his position.

197
00:11:21,263 --> 00:11:22,181
What?!

198
00:11:22,682 --> 00:11:25,393
You had no idea
which fighter was going in?

199
00:11:25,476 --> 00:11:27,645
You waited until now to find that out?

200
00:11:28,312 --> 00:11:30,231
To put it bluntly, yes.

201
00:11:30,731 --> 00:11:34,652
It doesn't particularly matter to me
which fighter goes into the ring.

202
00:11:34,735 --> 00:11:38,322
Whoever is left standing,
I come out the winner.

203
00:11:41,075 --> 00:11:43,703
"The current Fang
defended his position"?

204
00:11:43,786 --> 00:11:45,538
Did I hear what he said correctly?

205
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:50,418
But then who was the person
that tried to unseat the current Fang?

206
00:11:53,713 --> 00:11:56,173
I can't believe
what a pain in the ass Kiba is.

207
00:11:57,091 --> 00:12:01,762
But hey, at least I was able to address
some real concerns today.

208
00:12:02,555 --> 00:12:04,515
Just like our master wanted,

209
00:12:04,598 --> 00:12:07,560
Agito has now become even stronger.

210
00:12:08,310 --> 00:12:10,646
He may have gotten stronger in some ways,

211
00:12:11,313 --> 00:12:14,442
but he's since gotten far weaker
in many others.

212
00:12:15,025 --> 00:12:16,694
But as for the outcome,

213
00:12:16,777 --> 00:12:19,613
it's hard to say
if this will be good or bad.

214
00:12:20,197 --> 00:12:23,200
There's no way to know for sure
until the fight begins.

215
00:12:23,951 --> 00:12:25,286
As for me,

216
00:12:25,369 --> 00:12:29,206
I still think you were the one that
should've been picked to be the fighter.

217
00:12:29,290 --> 00:12:31,542
I'm not so sure about that.

218
00:12:32,042 --> 00:12:35,796
I'm not best when it comes
to dealing with guys like him.

219
00:12:37,131 --> 00:12:38,090
Yo.

220
00:12:38,174 --> 00:12:41,051
The fighters have met. It's time to start.

221
00:12:41,135 --> 00:12:43,846
There's about
a 20-centimeter difference in height,

222
00:12:43,929 --> 00:12:47,683
and in weight,
there's a 40-kilogram difference there.

223
00:12:47,767 --> 00:12:52,021
Our other fighting friend Kaolan might be
at a higher weight category than Hatsumi,

224
00:12:52,104 --> 00:12:55,900
but even Kaolan looks miniscule
when he's standing next to Agito.

225
00:12:55,983 --> 00:12:57,526
Stay strong, Sen.

226
00:12:58,152 --> 00:13:00,279
He's more ready now than he's ever been.

227
00:13:01,572 --> 00:13:02,490
But…

228
00:13:02,990 --> 00:13:05,493
What's the plan
you have for this, Sen?

229
00:13:06,035 --> 00:13:09,121
The differences in your abilities
are pretty substantial.

230
00:13:09,205 --> 00:13:11,874
Hatsumi can do it. Just watch.

231
00:13:11,957 --> 00:13:13,709
What is Hatsumi's specialty?

232
00:13:13,793 --> 00:13:16,045
He's not an expert in strike attacks.

233
00:13:16,545 --> 00:13:19,590
All those strike attacks are
a poor choice against the Fang.

234
00:13:19,673 --> 00:13:22,051
There's only one way that Hatsumi can win.

235
00:13:22,134 --> 00:13:23,302
With aikido.

236
00:13:23,928 --> 00:13:28,057
If I were the Fang, I'd make sure
to keep far away from Hatsumi.

237
00:13:28,140 --> 00:13:29,850
I've fought before.

238
00:13:29,934 --> 00:13:32,770
A little one-off match
against Hatsumi in the past.

239
00:13:32,853 --> 00:13:35,105
You really went toe-to-toe against him?

240
00:13:35,189 --> 00:13:37,316
I remember it was over a fight.

241
00:13:37,399 --> 00:13:38,692
I don't remember why.

242
00:13:38,776 --> 00:13:41,195
It was probably about something stupid,
I guess.

243
00:13:42,071 --> 00:13:43,906
It was a long time ago now.

244
00:13:45,032 --> 00:13:46,700
You know, looking back on it,

245
00:13:46,784 --> 00:13:49,537
it was the first time
I ever got thrown around that much

246
00:13:49,620 --> 00:13:52,248
by someone
who was significantly smaller than me.

247
00:13:53,165 --> 00:13:56,627
It wasn't about his arm strength
or the difference in our weights.

248
00:13:56,710 --> 00:13:58,379
Aikido is just the start.

249
00:13:58,462 --> 00:14:01,340
There's so much more
to how Hatsumi fights.

250
00:14:01,423 --> 00:14:04,051
When he gets to the top of his game,

251
00:14:04,134 --> 00:14:07,179
no one alive can predict
what he's going to do.

252
00:14:11,475 --> 00:14:13,811
I don't see much damage.

253
00:14:13,894 --> 00:14:17,773
You've recovered pretty quickly
from the hits you took in round two.

254
00:14:19,149 --> 00:14:22,319
So much for
the powerful world boxing champion.

255
00:14:22,987 --> 00:14:25,489
You could've roughed him up
a bit more for me.

256
00:14:25,573 --> 00:14:28,826
The two of them are masters
of different attack styles!

257
00:14:28,909 --> 00:14:32,204
Looks like this fight is shaping up
to be the most anticipated one,

258
00:14:32,288 --> 00:14:33,497
at least for this guy!

259
00:14:33,581 --> 00:14:35,499
Let's check it out.

260
00:14:35,583 --> 00:14:41,005
Mm. Looks like you've raised the bar
quite a bit higher, huh?

261
00:14:41,589 --> 00:14:43,924
Referee, let's do this.

262
00:14:44,425 --> 00:14:46,594
Is the Kengan Association Emperor,

263
00:14:46,677 --> 00:14:48,095
the Fang of Metsudo,

264
00:14:48,178 --> 00:14:51,223
going to be the one
to get through to the semifinals?

265
00:14:51,307 --> 00:14:53,934
Or will The Floating Cloud
be our dark horse

266
00:14:54,018 --> 00:14:56,395
to change tide of history today?

267
00:14:56,478 --> 00:14:58,898
So, let's get started.

268
00:14:58,981 --> 00:15:02,276
Who will be the final fighter
to make it to round three?

269
00:15:02,359 --> 00:15:04,653
Fighters, ready!

270
00:15:08,741 --> 00:15:10,910
Begin!

271
00:15:17,917 --> 00:15:19,293
Begin!

272
00:15:25,466 --> 00:15:26,842
No stance.

273
00:15:26,926 --> 00:15:28,761
He's in top condition.

274
00:15:28,844 --> 00:15:30,095
What's that?

275
00:15:30,179 --> 00:15:32,348
The Fang's stance…

276
00:15:32,431 --> 00:15:34,224
-Well, this is interesting.
-Hmm.

277
00:15:34,308 --> 00:15:37,478
Kanoh is starting off
by getting into an upright stance.

278
00:15:37,561 --> 00:15:40,022
When he first took
the title of the fifth Fang

279
00:15:40,105 --> 00:15:43,275
and began his Kengan career
by fighting in the tournament,

280
00:15:43,359 --> 00:15:46,403
Kanoh used to use
the upright stance all the time.

281
00:15:46,904 --> 00:15:49,490
What does this fearsome fighter
have up his sleeve

282
00:15:49,573 --> 00:15:51,659
if he's going back to basics now?

283
00:15:52,785 --> 00:15:54,828
What's going through his head?

284
00:15:54,912 --> 00:15:55,913
On the left,

285
00:15:55,996 --> 00:15:59,833
it looks like Hatsumi is taking
a leisurely stroll towards his opponent.

286
00:15:59,917 --> 00:16:01,335
On the right,

287
00:16:01,418 --> 00:16:04,129
all sense of normalcy
has been thrown out the window

288
00:16:04,213 --> 00:16:06,090
with Kanoh's usual stance.

289
00:16:06,590 --> 00:16:08,676
Who will be the first one to strike?

290
00:16:09,176 --> 00:16:11,136
Nice and slow.

291
00:16:11,220 --> 00:16:13,305
I'll keep things like this.

292
00:16:13,806 --> 00:16:17,059
That's how I prefer
to start a match anyway.

293
00:16:17,726 --> 00:16:20,938
I'd rather not use swift attacks
like in round two.

294
00:16:21,021 --> 00:16:24,191
Nah. I'm going with a different style.

295
00:16:25,567 --> 00:16:28,779
Everybody likes showing off
right at the top,

296
00:16:28,862 --> 00:16:32,700
fast and flashy like it's
the only trick they have in the book.

297
00:16:33,742 --> 00:16:34,868
I don't get it.

298
00:16:35,452 --> 00:16:38,122
Why is everyone in such a hurry?

299
00:16:40,708 --> 00:16:45,004
Uh-oh. I got so wrapped up in my thoughts
that I lost track of the time.

300
00:16:47,589 --> 00:16:48,465
Ah!

301
00:16:48,549 --> 00:16:50,759
The Fang is… He wouldn't.

302
00:16:50,843 --> 00:16:51,927
Hmm.

303
00:17:01,645 --> 00:17:08,027
Ooh, scary. I feel like
I'm fighting against a sentient halberd.

304
00:17:08,110 --> 00:17:10,279
Wha… What was that?!

305
00:17:10,362 --> 00:17:13,615
The ground has been slashed
like it was cut with a scythe!

306
00:17:15,284 --> 00:17:16,452
It's a right low.

307
00:17:20,622 --> 00:17:21,457
Hmm.

308
00:17:23,667 --> 00:17:24,793
All right.

309
00:17:24,877 --> 00:17:27,921
It's time for me to get to work.

310
00:17:31,675 --> 00:17:34,053
A flash kick
to the left middle.

311
00:17:39,975 --> 00:17:41,143
That hurt.

312
00:17:46,940 --> 00:17:49,610
The two fighters
who had faced off against the Fang

313
00:17:49,693 --> 00:17:51,695
in round one and two

314
00:17:51,779 --> 00:17:54,156
had already noticed a change.

315
00:17:54,656 --> 00:17:58,535
The style the Fang was using to fight
was different.

316
00:18:00,871 --> 00:18:03,582
Persistent attacks
to the middle and bottom.

317
00:18:04,666 --> 00:18:08,420
He had been drawn in
and let his guard down.

318
00:18:09,129 --> 00:18:10,923
No!

319
00:18:14,134 --> 00:18:15,677
Ooh.

320
00:18:17,012 --> 00:18:18,764
The kick didn't connect?!

321
00:18:18,847 --> 00:18:20,474
How the heck did he dodge it?!

322
00:18:27,147 --> 00:18:30,442
It doesn't look like
he's gonna let me hit him back.

323
00:18:30,526 --> 00:18:32,444
That's no good.

324
00:18:35,114 --> 00:18:36,865
Ah, whatever.

325
00:18:37,366 --> 00:18:40,244
I can get a hit in on the next go-around.

326
00:18:44,748 --> 00:18:46,959
He slipped through him again!

327
00:18:50,254 --> 00:18:53,590
I mean, what the hell is going on?!

328
00:18:53,674 --> 00:18:55,759
Oh! Amazing!

329
00:18:56,343 --> 00:18:57,386
It's his knee.

330
00:18:57,970 --> 00:19:00,013
He's moving his knee in and out
to dodge the attack

331
00:19:00,097 --> 00:19:02,349
with the least amount
of movement possible.

332
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,310
His body axis is the same.

333
00:19:05,894 --> 00:19:08,147
That's why it looks like
he doesn't move at all.

334
00:19:08,730 --> 00:19:09,898
Now I see it.

335
00:19:10,399 --> 00:19:13,777
So that's why it looks like the attack
just moved right on through him.

336
00:19:13,861 --> 00:19:14,987
But why?

337
00:19:15,612 --> 00:19:18,282
Is Hatsumi trying
to keep him at close range?

338
00:19:19,283 --> 00:19:22,536
Was that warm-up with Tokita
all to provoke the Fang?

339
00:19:23,620 --> 00:19:26,540
Wakatsuki's supposition
was right on the money.

340
00:19:28,125 --> 00:19:32,838
However, things had not gone
according to Hatsumi's plan

341
00:19:33,422 --> 00:19:38,177
because the Fang's style
had changed greatly since his last match.

342
00:19:38,886 --> 00:19:39,803
Hmm?

343
00:19:40,304 --> 00:19:42,306
He's not taking the bait.

344
00:19:42,389 --> 00:19:45,726
A strike to the upper area
to make me drop my head.

345
00:19:46,226 --> 00:19:49,146
One to the left middle
to make me drop my guard.

346
00:19:49,897 --> 00:19:52,149
They both didn't land,

347
00:19:52,232 --> 00:19:54,443
but they're both preparation
to set up success

348
00:19:54,526 --> 00:19:56,570
for an upper roundhouse to hit.

349
00:19:57,571 --> 00:20:00,365
It's not like him
to play with me like this.

350
00:20:01,074 --> 00:20:04,119
Up until now, the Fang would be
much more direct.

351
00:20:04,870 --> 00:20:06,788
Even when he knew
he was at a disadvantage,

352
00:20:06,872 --> 00:20:10,167
he would usually go along
with the opponent's style.

353
00:20:11,585 --> 00:20:14,087
I thought
he would read into my intentions a bit

354
00:20:14,171 --> 00:20:16,882
and try to close up
the gap between the two of us.

355
00:20:17,758 --> 00:20:19,551
But it's not working.

356
00:20:20,177 --> 00:20:22,095
Time for a strat change.

357
00:20:22,179 --> 00:20:24,097
I'll pull him in by force.

358
00:20:24,181 --> 00:20:25,098
Oh!

359
00:20:25,182 --> 00:20:27,226
Hatsumi's pushing in way too close!

360
00:20:27,309 --> 00:20:28,852
What's he trying to do?!

361
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,859
I'm sure
that's what you hoped for.

362
00:20:36,443 --> 00:20:39,780
Sorry to tell you,
that's not what happened.

363
00:20:39,863 --> 00:20:41,698
Whoa! What did he just do?!

364
00:20:41,782 --> 00:20:43,408
He's not injured?!

365
00:20:43,992 --> 00:20:46,203
We all saw him punch his head off!

366
00:20:46,286 --> 00:20:49,039
He's pushing
even closer to the limit.

367
00:20:49,873 --> 00:20:54,544
Waiting until the last second to dodge
is standard procedure.

368
00:20:54,628 --> 00:20:57,214
And it's done
with the least amount of movement.

369
00:20:57,297 --> 00:21:00,801
But this particular technique
only works when one can predict

370
00:21:00,884 --> 00:21:02,719
the precise reach of a move,

371
00:21:02,803 --> 00:21:04,805
right down to the millimeter.

372
00:21:07,641 --> 00:21:08,934
Direct hit!

373
00:21:09,434 --> 00:21:13,563
It's the first time in today's match
that Hatsumi has landed an attack.

374
00:21:14,314 --> 00:21:17,025
Hatsumi is starting to close in.

375
00:21:17,109 --> 00:21:19,236
I'm too close
for you to kick me.

376
00:21:19,319 --> 00:21:21,780
So what will you do instead?

377
00:21:24,032 --> 00:21:25,575
There we go.

378
00:21:26,076 --> 00:21:28,453
This is what I wanted you to do.

379
00:21:28,537 --> 00:21:29,454
Huh?

380
00:21:33,125 --> 00:21:34,042
Heh.

381
00:21:34,793 --> 00:21:35,836
Huh?

382
00:21:36,336 --> 00:21:38,755
He's got him in an elbow lock!

383
00:21:41,341 --> 00:21:45,137
This attack is easiest
to transition into an elbow lock.

384
00:21:45,637 --> 00:21:47,973
It's called a diagonal straight!

385
00:21:48,849 --> 00:21:51,101
Whoa! That was scary.

386
00:21:51,184 --> 00:21:53,770
Wasn't too sure I could pull that one off.

387
00:21:54,855 --> 00:21:56,315
Oh wow.

388
00:21:56,898 --> 00:21:59,109
I think the match is almost over.

389
00:21:59,818 --> 00:22:00,861
All right!

390
00:22:01,611 --> 00:22:03,030
Hmm.

391
00:22:03,697 --> 00:22:07,242
When The Floating Cloud
has it set in his mind to win,

392
00:22:07,326 --> 00:22:10,454
he shows that he
is capable of great strength.

393
00:22:11,413 --> 00:22:13,498
So this is Sen Hatsumi,

394
00:22:14,333 --> 00:22:18,337
the man who was once in line
to become the Fang.

395
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,257
All right! All right! All right!

396
00:22:22,883 --> 00:22:26,094
The fickle tides of war
have begun to turn!

397
00:22:26,178 --> 00:22:30,265
Kanoh has found himself
locked in one hell of a pinch!

The fight

407
00:24:07,654 --> 00:24:10,198
sharply soars to new heights!

408
00:24:10,282 --> 00:24:13,577
Behold the man
who was supposed to become the Fang,

409
00:24:13,660 --> 00:24:17,581
Sen Hatsumi! Time to see
what he's like when he's serious.
