1
00:00:11,177 --> 00:00:13,930
THIRTEEN YEARS AGO

2
00:00:14,556 --> 00:00:17,434
Sen Hatsumi, 28 years old.

3
00:00:18,351 --> 00:00:19,644
Whoa.

4
00:00:20,562 --> 00:00:22,939
This mansion's freaking huge.

5
00:00:23,023 --> 00:00:26,901
Glad to see you've arrived.
Thank you for coming all this way.

6
00:00:27,694 --> 00:00:29,362
From the looks of this place,

7
00:00:29,446 --> 00:00:33,033
I'm gonna take a guess
that your boss must be loaded as hell.

8
00:00:33,533 --> 00:00:35,368
Hatsumi had been scouted.

9
00:00:35,869 --> 00:00:40,373
He was asked to be a private bodyguard
in Metsudo Katahara's army.

10
00:00:41,291 --> 00:00:42,667
At their core,

11
00:00:42,751 --> 00:00:46,921
a bodyguard
primarily serves as a shield to protect.

12
00:00:47,005 --> 00:00:50,133
New recruits go through basic training

13
00:00:50,216 --> 00:00:52,969
and experience each milestone as a group.

14
00:00:53,511 --> 00:00:56,473
Normally, that's how the process starts.

15
00:00:57,891 --> 00:01:00,810
The recruits that pass this basic course

16
00:01:00,894 --> 00:01:03,772
go on to continue
their training individually.

17
00:01:04,647 --> 00:01:08,109
From amongst
this talented class of recruits,

18
00:01:08,193 --> 00:01:11,071
an elite few who showed the most promise

19
00:01:11,154 --> 00:01:14,282
are selected
to be considered as candidates

20
00:01:14,365 --> 00:01:16,993
to become the next Fang of Metsudo.

21
00:01:18,369 --> 00:01:21,581
Oh.
So if I'm understanding you correctly,

22
00:01:21,664 --> 00:01:24,542
I was chosen to be one of the candidates?

23
00:01:24,626 --> 00:01:26,753
This is such a pain in the ass.

24
00:01:26,836 --> 00:01:28,630
I'm close to 30, you know?

25
00:01:28,713 --> 00:01:31,299
I don't wanna be screaming "Hah!"

26
00:01:31,382 --> 00:01:33,760
at a bunch of young punks anymore.

27
00:01:33,843 --> 00:01:37,055
It seems our boss
has taken a very particular interest

28
00:01:37,138 --> 00:01:39,307
in how your skills have developed.

29
00:01:39,808 --> 00:01:41,935
Ever since he became aware of the fact

30
00:01:42,018 --> 00:01:44,270
that you've been traveling
around the world

31
00:01:44,354 --> 00:01:47,732
to participate
in different underground fight clubs.

32
00:01:47,816 --> 00:01:48,817
Oh, really?

33
00:01:49,317 --> 00:01:51,820
Wow, I guess he does like me, huh?

34
00:01:51,903 --> 00:01:55,782
He's extending an invitation to you
to join his army of bodyguards

35
00:01:55,865 --> 00:01:57,867
as a candidate to become the next Fang.

36
00:01:58,576 --> 00:02:01,538
We already have
several other candidates as well.

37
00:02:02,205 --> 00:02:05,416
When the current Fang decides
that it is time to step down,

38
00:02:05,500 --> 00:02:09,629
we will decide on the next Fang
from among that pool of candidates.

39
00:02:10,338 --> 00:02:11,923
All right. I got it.

40
00:02:12,757 --> 00:02:16,761
I guess I was thinking about settling down
and getting a steady job anyway.

41
00:02:17,345 --> 00:02:19,472
I'm gonna become the next Fang.

42
00:02:19,973 --> 00:02:23,601
If I recall correctly,
he lasted for about a week.

43
00:02:23,685 --> 00:02:27,522
Once he got past most of the basics,
he dropped out fairly quickly.

44
00:02:27,605 --> 00:02:29,566
He told us he was getting bored.

45
00:02:29,649 --> 00:02:34,028
I never would've imagined he'd end up here
in the tournament fighting anyway.

46
00:02:34,112 --> 00:02:36,406
I must say, I'm surprised.

47
00:02:36,489 --> 00:02:39,492
I never knew that the two of you
had a past before.

48
00:02:39,576 --> 00:02:43,621
If you ask me, you're lucky he didn't
stick with trying to become the Fang.

49
00:02:43,705 --> 00:02:46,833
He's such a fickle man.
He's more trouble than he's worth.

50
00:02:46,916 --> 00:02:48,835
Trust me. I've had my fair share.

51
00:02:48,918 --> 00:02:52,463
Who's to say if the way it played out
was good or bad?

52
00:02:52,547 --> 00:02:54,674
Ultimately, it wasn't my choice,

53
00:02:54,757 --> 00:02:57,677
but it is my firm belief
that he would've become the Fang

54
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,805
had he bothered
to stay long enough to try.

THE FLOATING CLOUD

74
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,867
All right! All right! All right!

75
00:04:44,951 --> 00:04:48,329
The fickle tides of war
have begun to turn!

76
00:04:48,413 --> 00:04:52,458
Kanoh has found himself
locked in one hell of a pinch!

77
00:04:52,542 --> 00:04:53,960
LIHITO, GENSAI KUROKI

78
00:04:54,043 --> 00:04:55,461
SHION SORYUIN

79
00:04:55,545 --> 00:04:56,963
MINORU TAKAYAMA
MASAMICHI OHMORI

80
00:04:57,046 --> 00:04:58,214
OHMA TOKITA
KAZUO YAMASHITA

81
00:04:58,298 --> 00:04:59,549
Whoa.

82
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:02,719
Is the match already about to end?

83
00:05:03,219 --> 00:05:07,265
It's only a matter of time
before Kanoh's joints get destroyed.

84
00:05:07,765 --> 00:05:09,559
If Kanoh tries to escape,

85
00:05:09,642 --> 00:05:12,020
then Hatsumi can nail him on the way out.

86
00:05:12,103 --> 00:05:14,856
Is it like Ohma's move, Indestructible?

87
00:05:14,939 --> 00:05:16,941
I think that only hardens his muscles.

88
00:05:17,025 --> 00:05:19,610
So the Fang's move
might work the same way.

89
00:05:19,694 --> 00:05:23,072
If Kanoh gets hit in a stance
that doesn't let him deflect the attack

90
00:05:23,156 --> 00:05:25,116
or in an area he can't harden,

91
00:05:25,825 --> 00:05:29,537
not even the Fang
can make it through that unscathed.

92
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,342
He did a roundhouse kick
from that position?!

93
00:05:42,425 --> 00:05:44,886
He let go of his right hand!

94
00:05:45,553 --> 00:05:48,931
Sorry there, Kanoh.

95
00:05:49,015 --> 00:05:52,060
You did exactly
what I was hoping you would do.

96
00:05:53,269 --> 00:05:54,520
In this move,

97
00:05:54,604 --> 00:05:56,189
Hatsumi repeatedly strikes

98
00:05:56,272 --> 00:05:59,317
the three critical points
on his opponent's face.

99
00:06:00,735 --> 00:06:02,820
HATSUMI-STYLE AIKIDO

100
00:06:05,198 --> 00:06:06,824
GATHERING CLOUDS: TRIPLE STRIKE

101
00:06:20,755 --> 00:06:22,006
How did…

102
00:06:30,181 --> 00:06:33,184
Was that move
from an ancient style of martial arts

103
00:06:33,267 --> 00:06:35,019
known as Finger Break?

104
00:06:35,103 --> 00:06:37,021
His counterattack worked.

105
00:06:38,106 --> 00:06:41,025
Hatsumi is backing off
after that blow.

106
00:06:41,692 --> 00:06:44,362
Being up close was too dangerous for him!

107
00:06:45,113 --> 00:06:47,532
-Oh!
-Oh! Whoa

108
00:06:47,615 --> 00:06:48,950
Looks like he can't!

109
00:06:49,534 --> 00:06:51,035
Kanoh won't let him!

110
00:06:56,457 --> 00:06:57,750
What?!

111
00:06:57,834 --> 00:06:59,377
His elbow?!

112
00:06:59,460 --> 00:07:01,838
That attack's from Muay Thai.

113
00:07:01,921 --> 00:07:04,048
I recognize it because I use it too.

114
00:07:06,384 --> 00:07:07,510
Whoa!

115
00:07:07,593 --> 00:07:09,929
This time, it's his middle kick!

116
00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:13,516
Hmm.

117
00:07:13,599 --> 00:07:16,436
He led with an elbow,
then transitioned to a kick.

118
00:07:16,519 --> 00:07:18,438
This is a new Kanoh.

119
00:07:18,938 --> 00:07:20,606
He never would've thought of that.

120
00:07:20,690 --> 00:07:24,360
And yet I feel like
he's still gonna win this round.

121
00:07:26,446 --> 00:07:28,156
It's no wonder too.

122
00:07:29,073 --> 00:07:32,034
Hatsumi used to
significantly outrank Kanoh.

123
00:07:32,118 --> 00:07:34,078
But Hatsumi's getting hit from above.

124
00:07:34,579 --> 00:07:37,039
Hatsumi's blocking,
but it's not helping much.

125
00:07:43,379 --> 00:07:47,175
Each of Kanoh's attacks
are overflowing with raw power!

126
00:07:47,258 --> 00:07:48,426
Painful!

127
00:07:48,509 --> 00:07:51,971
Yeah! This is turning into
a pretty one-sided fight!

128
00:07:52,054 --> 00:07:54,891
I thought Hatsumi
was in his best condition.

129
00:07:54,974 --> 00:07:57,727
Kanoh's pushing him around like a dog!

130
00:07:57,810 --> 00:07:59,896
This is what I wanted to see.

131
00:08:00,730 --> 00:08:03,483
Until now,
your fighting style felt lacking,

132
00:08:03,566 --> 00:08:07,737
like it was still incomplete…
a work in progress.

133
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,535
Time to slither out
of your cocoon

134
00:08:14,619 --> 00:08:16,704
and start thriving.

135
00:08:20,541 --> 00:08:22,418
Not yet.

136
00:08:23,002 --> 00:08:26,172
I mustn't forget Sen's ace in the hole.

137
00:08:26,255 --> 00:08:28,216
Give me a break.

138
00:08:28,299 --> 00:08:30,009
I'm getting sick of this.

139
00:08:30,510 --> 00:08:32,178
This asshole broke my dam finger.

140
00:08:33,054 --> 00:08:35,556
And he keeps putting
an uncomfortable amount of distance

141
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,266
between myself and him.

142
00:08:38,267 --> 00:08:40,102
This is pathetic.

143
00:08:40,186 --> 00:08:42,104
I hate myself.

144
00:08:43,773 --> 00:08:45,942
You're going on a journey?

145
00:08:46,025 --> 00:08:46,859
Yeah.

146
00:08:46,943 --> 00:08:50,988
And this time, I think
I'm gonna be gone for quite a while.

147
00:08:51,072 --> 00:08:53,449
And you're leaving now? Huh.

148
00:08:53,533 --> 00:08:56,911
In order to qualify for
the Kengan Life-or-Death Tournament,

149
00:08:57,411 --> 00:09:00,498
you've got to participate
in the matches leading up to it.

150
00:09:00,581 --> 00:09:02,250
You understand that, right?

151
00:09:02,333 --> 00:09:05,545
Just use Komada,
you're little Guardian King.

152
00:09:05,628 --> 00:09:09,632
Or I don't know. Maybe it's time
for you to hire a new fighter.

153
00:09:09,715 --> 00:09:10,883
Sen…

154
00:09:10,967 --> 00:09:13,928
You must have
a reason for doing this.

155
00:09:14,011 --> 00:09:16,847
You know me so well by now, old man.

156
00:09:17,682 --> 00:09:18,849
It's just how I am.

157
00:09:18,933 --> 00:09:21,435
I'm the type that gets restless.

158
00:09:22,186 --> 00:09:24,855
Frankly, I've been this way
since the day I was born.

159
00:09:25,648 --> 00:09:28,109
There ain't nothing I can do to change it.

160
00:09:28,192 --> 00:09:30,152
The way I'm feeling now

161
00:09:30,653 --> 00:09:33,406
is just gonna keep snowballing,
getting worse.

162
00:09:33,990 --> 00:09:37,368
At the rate I'm going, I have no chance
of winning any tournament,

163
00:09:37,451 --> 00:09:39,161
no matter how bad you want it.

164
00:09:39,787 --> 00:09:42,456
Hmm. So, an adjustment?

165
00:09:42,540 --> 00:09:45,501
You're overreacting
just like always.

166
00:09:45,585 --> 00:09:48,045
I'm gonna go find somewhere
to relax a bit.

167
00:09:49,380 --> 00:09:51,799
I was thinking I might try
going to the mountains.

168
00:09:52,300 --> 00:09:55,344
But I'm telling you now,
I'm not going there to train.

169
00:09:55,428 --> 00:09:57,597
I'll have three meals a day, lots of naps.

170
00:09:57,680 --> 00:10:00,057
I'm gonna enjoy the easy life for a bit.

171
00:10:02,101 --> 00:10:05,396
I've had my sights
set on this for a long time.

172
00:10:06,188 --> 00:10:08,774
I've been working my ass off real hard.

173
00:10:09,942 --> 00:10:11,319
I had no choice.

174
00:10:12,653 --> 00:10:15,906
I would do whatever it takes
to defeat that guy.

175
00:10:16,866 --> 00:10:20,077
I made that decision long ago.

176
00:10:21,037 --> 00:10:22,330
Exactly.

177
00:10:22,830 --> 00:10:25,082
The two reasons I'm competing

178
00:10:25,166 --> 00:10:28,544
are to beat this guy
and to win the tournament.

179
00:10:29,420 --> 00:10:32,923
In that case,
it's time for me to finish part one.

180
00:10:33,424 --> 00:10:35,718
-What?!
-He stopped running away?

181
00:10:35,801 --> 00:10:37,053
No.

182
00:10:37,136 --> 00:10:39,680
He just reached the moment
he was waiting for.

183
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,224
What do you know?!

184
00:10:42,308 --> 00:10:44,810
It looks like he
finally outsmarted the Fang.

185
00:10:44,894 --> 00:10:46,062
Yes!

186
00:10:48,147 --> 00:10:50,608
I won't let you break your fall.

187
00:10:51,776 --> 00:10:53,819
HATSUMI-STYLE AIKIDO

188
00:10:54,445 --> 00:10:58,324
STARDROP

189
00:11:05,665 --> 00:11:07,083
He blocked it.

190
00:11:07,833 --> 00:11:11,796
But I thought that was supposed to be
Sen Hatsumi's ultimate move!

191
00:11:11,879 --> 00:11:14,131
Wha… What did he do?!

192
00:11:14,632 --> 00:11:18,719
A strike?! He couldn't have done
that much damage so close up.

193
00:11:18,803 --> 00:11:20,763
I know that attack.

194
00:11:21,305 --> 00:11:22,973
Could it be?

195
00:11:26,352 --> 00:11:29,730
Hatsumi goes to block Kanoh
in a hold after that blow!

196
00:11:30,314 --> 00:11:31,691
Ouch!

197
00:11:31,774 --> 00:11:34,318
He might be coughing up blood. Not good!

198
00:11:34,402 --> 00:11:37,780
No! What on earth
just happened out there?!

199
00:11:39,573 --> 00:11:41,992
I'd like to know
the same thing.

200
00:11:43,661 --> 00:11:47,665
It felt like I was getting stabbed
straight through the chest with a spear!

201
00:11:48,791 --> 00:11:51,752
What the hell did he do to me?!

202
00:11:52,503 --> 00:11:55,840
Sen Hatsumi, I should thank you.

203
00:11:55,923 --> 00:11:59,969
The sacrifices you made
contributed to my evolution.

204
00:12:09,854 --> 00:12:11,605
I hope you understand.

205
00:12:12,231 --> 00:12:14,817
The Formless fighting style you use,

206
00:12:15,359 --> 00:12:18,237
it may give you flexibility
against any opponent.

207
00:12:18,904 --> 00:12:23,033
However, that approach to combat
carries risks as well.

208
00:12:23,534 --> 00:12:27,371
Having more options available to you
is not always better.

209
00:12:27,872 --> 00:12:30,624
If your list of potential attacks
is too long,

210
00:12:31,333 --> 00:12:33,753
you delay deciding which of them to use.

211
00:12:34,628 --> 00:12:38,382
Even a minor hesitation in the arena
can be fatal,

212
00:12:38,466 --> 00:12:43,220
especially against opponents
who specialize in a single technique.

213
00:12:43,971 --> 00:12:47,057
You have to narrow down your choices
for each opponent.

214
00:12:47,641 --> 00:12:49,935
Keep your move list nice and short.

215
00:12:50,519 --> 00:12:54,190
The biggest advantage to using Formless
is the flexibility it gives you

216
00:12:54,273 --> 00:12:56,066
to handle any situation.

217
00:12:56,650 --> 00:12:58,986
But choosing a style lets you act quicker.

218
00:13:00,404 --> 00:13:01,614
In a tournament,

219
00:13:01,697 --> 00:13:04,533
your body takes more damage
the further you progress.

220
00:13:05,117 --> 00:13:06,911
As you become more exhausted,

221
00:13:07,453 --> 00:13:10,331
the delay
in your reaction speed only grows.

222
00:13:10,915 --> 00:13:16,212
So I would not recommend Formless
for back-to-back fights.

223
00:13:18,172 --> 00:13:19,757
If you use this style,

224
00:13:20,466 --> 00:13:21,550
you can use

225
00:13:22,134 --> 00:13:25,221
that signature more effectively
than ever before.

226
00:13:26,013 --> 00:13:27,139
For the boss

227
00:13:27,932 --> 00:13:29,183
and for yourself,

228
00:13:29,683 --> 00:13:31,060
swallow your pride.

229
00:13:31,560 --> 00:13:33,062
A signature?

230
00:13:37,358 --> 00:13:38,818
I should thank you.

231
00:13:39,401 --> 00:13:43,697
The sacrifices you made
contributed to my evolution.

232
00:13:44,198 --> 00:13:47,535
You did well
in playing the part you were meant to.

233
00:13:50,371 --> 00:13:51,330
Ah!

234
00:13:51,413 --> 00:13:52,289
Can't be!

235
00:13:52,373 --> 00:13:53,541
How could he?!

236
00:13:53,624 --> 00:13:55,334
This is just…

237
00:13:55,918 --> 00:13:58,337
How could anyone survive Stardrop?!

238
00:13:58,420 --> 00:14:00,422
This can't be real!

239
00:14:00,923 --> 00:14:01,882
Hmm.

240
00:14:02,466 --> 00:14:05,302
Did the two of them
strike at the same time?

241
00:14:05,386 --> 00:14:08,973
No, I don't think
it's a matter of who struck first.

242
00:14:09,056 --> 00:14:10,891
But then that would mean…

243
00:14:10,975 --> 00:14:12,268
Come on, man.

244
00:14:12,852 --> 00:14:15,312
It's not cool for me to act like this,

245
00:14:15,938 --> 00:14:19,191
hanging on and looking
all sorts of desperate.

246
00:14:24,446 --> 00:14:28,075
Oh! Hatsumi got Kanoh
to give up on the elbow.

247
00:14:37,376 --> 00:14:41,839
Sen Hatsumi,
you're quite the shrewd man.

248
00:14:42,798 --> 00:14:45,217
Is it… his back?

249
00:14:45,301 --> 00:14:47,303
Yeah, you got it.

250
00:14:47,970 --> 00:14:51,557
It's for control.
He's trying to keep hold of Kanoh's back.

251
00:14:52,224 --> 00:14:56,020
It almost looks like a disadvantage,
but it's a pretty good position.

252
00:14:56,937 --> 00:15:01,358
It allows Hatsumi to shift
his center of gravity instantaneously

253
00:15:01,442 --> 00:15:03,694
anytime after an attempted attack.

254
00:15:04,278 --> 00:15:06,697
The old guy's impressive, I gotta say.

255
00:15:06,780 --> 00:15:08,782
It won't be easy for Kanoh to beat him.

256
00:15:08,866 --> 00:15:10,534
Ah, I see.

257
00:15:10,618 --> 00:15:12,661
I guess that makes sense.

258
00:15:12,745 --> 00:15:15,414
The fight might be
in a deadlock for a bit.

259
00:15:15,998 --> 00:15:17,458
Kanoh was cautious,

260
00:15:17,541 --> 00:15:20,002
and he can't slip up right now.

261
00:15:32,848 --> 00:15:34,350
Now!

262
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,154
It's… it's that move.

263
00:15:47,655 --> 00:15:50,074
One-Inch Punch.

264
00:15:50,157 --> 00:15:52,826
ONE-INCH PUNCH

265
00:15:55,371 --> 00:15:57,790
He's still pushing.
Bring it on!

266
00:15:58,374 --> 00:16:00,668
I can take
whatever he wants to throw at me.

267
00:16:07,883 --> 00:16:09,677
What the hell?!

268
00:16:11,887 --> 00:16:13,806
How did he…

269
00:16:13,889 --> 00:16:15,349
Hmm!

270
00:16:17,893 --> 00:16:19,061
Hmm.

271
00:16:22,147 --> 00:16:24,233
Not a big fan of this.

272
00:16:25,401 --> 00:16:31,991
But I know that I will beat him
one of these days.

273
00:16:36,161 --> 00:16:37,454
Hatsu…

274
00:16:44,712 --> 00:16:48,090
Hmm.
What a specimen of a man.

275
00:16:48,674 --> 00:16:52,803
I can't believe he has transcended
into something else.

276
00:16:56,765 --> 00:17:00,102
Finally, I've arrived.

277
00:17:00,185 --> 00:17:01,562
Match over!

278
00:17:02,062 --> 00:17:06,400
Winner, Agito Kanoh!

279
00:17:09,194 --> 00:17:12,531
That's it! No more! What a match.

280
00:17:12,614 --> 00:17:13,866
How wild!

281
00:17:14,366 --> 00:17:16,952
-Nogi Group just used their secret weapon.
-Fang!

282
00:17:17,036 --> 00:17:20,372
But Hatsumi was not strong enough
to make it through.

283
00:17:20,456 --> 00:17:25,627
Who could've come in and predicted just
how decisive that victory ended up being?!

284
00:17:26,128 --> 00:17:29,339
The Fang of Metsudo, Agito Kanoh,

285
00:17:29,882 --> 00:17:33,635
will be proceeding on to the semifinals!

286
00:17:34,470 --> 00:17:39,391
That second One-Inch Punch was
all it took for him to decide that battle.

287
00:17:39,475 --> 00:17:42,102
There's nothing magical about fa jin.

288
00:17:42,603 --> 00:17:45,397
It's an old method of transferring force.

289
00:17:45,481 --> 00:17:48,525
This striking attack requires shifting
all their momentum

290
00:17:48,609 --> 00:17:51,111
the shortest distance
with a small movement.

291
00:17:51,862 --> 00:17:53,447
For someone as good as Kanoh,

292
00:17:54,114 --> 00:17:58,660
they can launch a powerful attack
even from a distance of almost zero.

293
00:17:59,244 --> 00:18:03,123
It's usually so strong,
that a single blow can kill your opponent.

294
00:18:03,999 --> 00:18:08,003
Sen Hatsumi must have moved automatically
to deflect the attack.

295
00:18:08,796 --> 00:18:11,173
He's a master at his own craft as well.

296
00:18:11,256 --> 00:18:15,761
But still, even with all his experience,
he still lost.

297
00:18:15,844 --> 00:18:17,387
Kanoh's a different breed.

298
00:18:17,471 --> 00:18:20,265
His power is at a level
that I have never seen.

299
00:18:20,766 --> 00:18:22,601
Hatsumi…

300
00:18:23,185 --> 00:18:26,480
Kanoh's gonna be more trouble
than I expected.

301
00:18:26,563 --> 00:18:29,149
It doesn't matter
if it's short-range or long.

302
00:18:29,858 --> 00:18:32,778
Every attack of his
is powerful enough to kill.

303
00:18:33,445 --> 00:18:35,823
He has no obvious blind spots.

304
00:18:36,573 --> 00:18:39,618
He can chain one move into another freely.

305
00:18:40,285 --> 00:18:41,578
What's more,

306
00:18:42,579 --> 00:18:45,499
he has
at least one more weapon he's hiding.

307
00:18:47,084 --> 00:18:50,003
I find myself quite astonished.

308
00:18:50,087 --> 00:18:54,508
I can't believe he's found a way
to master that technique.

309
00:18:54,591 --> 00:18:56,802
He counterattacks his opponent.

310
00:18:57,427 --> 00:18:59,513
It's post-initiative.

311
00:18:59,596 --> 00:19:02,474
He translates
the tell of his opponent's movement

312
00:19:02,558 --> 00:19:05,310
and starts attacking
in order to hit them first.

313
00:19:05,394 --> 00:19:06,520
Counter-initiative.

314
00:19:07,104 --> 00:19:11,775
Or he reads his opponent's intention
and gets in a strike before they can move,

315
00:19:11,859 --> 00:19:14,528
also known as pre-initiative.

316
00:19:14,611 --> 00:19:17,406
He abandoned the freedom of Formless

317
00:19:17,489 --> 00:19:20,075
and increased his reaction speed in turn.

318
00:19:20,159 --> 00:19:24,621
He changed the fighting style
into something that's more practical.

319
00:19:25,664 --> 00:19:30,002
I know different fighting styles
don't interpret it the same way,

320
00:19:30,669 --> 00:19:33,213
but there's one thing I can say for sure.

321
00:19:33,881 --> 00:19:38,886
Agito Kanoh has put in the work
to reach the very pinnacle of strength.

322
00:19:40,304 --> 00:19:42,848
Sen Hatsumi was a good fighter.

323
00:19:42,931 --> 00:19:46,018
He only lost because he was unlucky.

324
00:19:46,101 --> 00:19:48,228
He just had the wrong opponent.

325
00:19:51,064 --> 00:19:53,025
Stay with me, Sen.

326
00:19:53,108 --> 00:19:55,027
Hatsumi! Hey!

327
00:19:55,110 --> 00:19:57,946
Hold on!
The doctor's on his way as we speak!

328
00:20:03,785 --> 00:20:05,370
It doesn't matter.

329
00:20:05,871 --> 00:20:07,664
Give me a cigarette, would you?

330
00:20:08,790 --> 00:20:11,126
I'm not gonna die, in case you're worried.

331
00:20:11,668 --> 00:20:13,837
Few minutes and I'll be up and around.

332
00:20:13,921 --> 00:20:16,465
Oh, you just want a cigarette?

333
00:20:16,548 --> 00:20:18,258
Uh…

334
00:20:19,343 --> 00:20:20,802
What?!

335
00:20:20,886 --> 00:20:22,387
I can't believe it!

336
00:20:23,764 --> 00:20:26,892
How did this man survive that
with no permanent damage?

337
00:20:28,602 --> 00:20:30,646
I saw you get hit with a high kick.

338
00:20:31,146 --> 00:20:33,482
I know that was strong enough to kill you.

339
00:20:33,982 --> 00:20:34,900
Wait!

340
00:20:35,525 --> 00:20:36,985
Does that mean that Kanoh…

341
00:20:44,326 --> 00:20:46,495
This is so insulting.

342
00:20:46,578 --> 00:20:49,581
If I'm still breathing,
it means he held back on me.

343
00:20:50,249 --> 00:20:52,459
If he hit me for real,

344
00:20:52,542 --> 00:20:55,212
he could've split my head
like a watermelon.

345
00:20:56,338 --> 00:21:00,676
The fight was so simple for him that he
had time to consider going easy on me.

346
00:21:02,135 --> 00:21:05,264
Now that we've fought,
I can see it so clearly,

347
00:21:05,347 --> 00:21:08,016
how much his skill towers over mine.

348
00:21:11,561 --> 00:21:12,980
I'm gonna give up.

349
00:21:13,689 --> 00:21:15,482
Sorry to let you down, old man.

350
00:21:16,233 --> 00:21:17,818
I couldn't get it done for you.

351
00:21:18,402 --> 00:21:20,779
I guess you'll have to grab
one of your other pawns

352

353
00:21:30,872 --> 00:21:32,291
Good work out there.

354
00:21:32,374 --> 00:21:34,251
Try and get some rest.

355
00:21:34,334 --> 00:21:36,128
We need you to stay sharp.

356
00:21:36,712 --> 00:21:39,923
I can say with certainty now
that I deserve my title.

357
00:21:40,841 --> 00:21:42,217
Only two left.

358
00:21:42,843 --> 00:21:46,305
I'll be ruthless against anyone
who stands against our boss.

359
00:21:50,475 --> 00:21:51,685
After all,

360
00:21:52,394 --> 00:21:54,521
I am the Fang of Metsudo.

you are no longer sane man.
