KENGAN LIFE-OR-DEATH TOURNAMENT
The crowd was still in an uproar as the night wore on.
Tomorrow, the fight to decide the future of the Japanese economy will end,
and everything will be decided.
However, in a dark place where no light shines,
insanity was about to reemerge!
SETSUNA KIRYU (ELIMINATED) KOUOU EDUCATION GROUP REP. FIGHTER
PREDICAMENT
SETSUNA KIRYU, 11 YEARS OLD
OHMA TOKITA
Ohma Tokita…
Yes, it's you. You're the one I've been searching for…
I'll never stop reaching for you, my God!
Ohma!
Are you going to get in my way again?!
You're the demon who stole Ohma from me!
We found you. You're Setsuna Kiryu, right?
So this is where you were hiding.
You've been deemed a dangerous individual
by Kengan Association management.
We're taking you into custody.
Don't you dare resist.
I knew it. You were the one behind it all!
I have to kill you…
Director! These canapés are so good!
You sure look like you're having fun.
Huh? Oh.
Sorry, I shouldn't be enjoying myself…
It's fine.
Are you sure you're okay with what happened with Setsuna?
It doesn't matter what I think. He just up and disappeared.
There's no way anyone could find him.
But he might cause trouble for us, so I removed him from our roster.
You removed him?
Setsuna must have been shocked that he lost his chance to fight Tokita.
I sense something even more sinister is going on with him right now.
But I guess it's no use talking about it now.
You chose someone that scary to represent us?
He was good enough to defeat Ozu, after all.
Setsuna Kiryu.
It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
I drank the poison, but it seems I wasn't strong enough to swallow it.
Shion. Tomoko.
I'm glad you two are safe.
Huh?
It's dangerous here. Please clear the area at once.
Huh? What do you mean?
I've figured it out.
It was all a conspiracy organized by him from the beginning.
"Him"? Do you mean Ohma Tokita?
No!
Kiryu. I get it.
We'll follow your advice.
Thanks for telling us.
Good.
If anything happened to you two, I might just lose my cool.
So you're going to stay here?
Yes.
I've got to kill him.
Go. We'll be fine.
Okay.
D-Director…
Shh! Don't provoke him.
What's gotten into Setsuna? What's this conspiracy he's talking about?
There's no conspiracy.
Huh?
He's gone insane.
No… he's always been insane.
Until he gets rid of those demons possessing him,
he'll never be human again.
Wow! That was exciting!
My company's fighter lost!
But Kaneda did so well, Ken!
Kazu! Hang in there for the three of us!
Once you win, you're going to show
all those posers who's boss!
-Right! I'll do my best! -My word, you're so drunk!
Come on! It's time to go back to your hotel room.
Huh? Just one more drink!
Ken, you're such a free spirit!
Why am I stuck hanging out with these two?
Huh?
Eh? What's wrong?
The road's closed?
But we could pass through here earlier.
Hey! We want to get back to the hotel!
This road has just been closed.
Please use the detour over there.
Huh?
What?! But I don't wanna take the long way around!
Guess we have no choice.
I wonder what happened? It's all very ominous.
It's probably another incident.
Huh?
I mean, trouble's brewing now that the final round's coming up.
And you especially, President Yamashita. You're still in the heat of it all.
You'd better make sure you're never caught alone.
Oh, y-you're right…
I'm going to tell Ohma.
Hey! I just told you not to be alone!
Please take care of Ken for me!
Huh?!
Oh, dear…
Alright! Here's a shortcut!
It's times like these I wish he carried a cellphone.
I hope he's still in the infirmary.
Huh?
Where am I?
Hold on…
Am I lost?
Y-You startled me!
Oh, it's just you, Setsuna.
What are you doing here?
Did you get lost taking a shortcut too?
I can relate. This place is massive!
Yamashita, it looks like you're safe.
Huh?!
It's dangerous to walk around alone right now.
Y-You're right.
That's why I wanted to tell Ohma right away.
Ohma…
Huh?
Yamashita, listen carefully.
The enemy is after Ohma.
Huh?
What?!
They've been targeting Ohma
since long before he started fighting for your company.
It goes as far back as the city he grew up in.
Huh?!
Yamashita.
I was only brought into this world to be organ stock.
What?
Fifteen years ago, I was imprisoned by agents on The Inside.
Oh, The Inside is an illegal slum
that the government had given up managing.
Huh?!
Wait, wait!
Why are you sharing this dark story all of a sudden?
My destiny was to be dissected piece by piece and left to die.
My only purpose was to produce organs for someone else to harvest later.
Organs are just parts,
so I was more of an object than a human.
It's sinful for an object to have feelings or try to live.
That's right. I lived my life thinking I was a sinful person.
I had no attachment to life.
But then, He appeared.
He was so wild, so fierce.
So this is what they call a god. He's the one who breathed life into me.
Ohma and Setsuna…
I never knew that's how you two met.
Yes…
I-In that case, Setsuna,
you must be glad your life was saved.
It was all thanks to Ohma!
Yes.
I'm alive? Why?
He gave me life?
I see.
He's a god.
He's a god who came to chastise and punish me, a sinner.
I must let him pass judgment on my existence.
Once I understood that, there was nothing to worry about anymore.
I did everything I could to search for Ohma.
After two years, I finally found him.
I was so immensely happy that I just kept running.
The punishment I had been longing for was right before my very eyes.
Okay. That's no good.
You have to relax when you're using the Flow Control form.
Ohma, you're way too tense.
Shut up!
Come on, try doing it my way.
I'll assist you.
You bastard! Don't touch me!
What is this?!
Is this what a god looks like?
Are you telling me that's the god I've been searching for?
Come on. Stop complaining and try it.
It's you, isn't it?
You corrupted God.
You!
Niko Tokita.
He's the demon who led Ohma astray.
Huh? Are you saying…
What? Was he really led astray?
I think that just means he got a master…
Huh? This isn't making sense.
And Ohma's master died a long time ago.
Niko fought my master ten years ago. He lost and died.
Huh? Really?
Or so I had thought.
Huh?
Niko!
I thought he was dead! But he's not!
Wh-- Huh?!
He's changed his form and got in my way so many times!
To this very day!
He's stood in my way again and again!
No matter where I am or when it is!
Today! Yesterday!
In the city! On the boat!
Even after I arrived on this island looking for Ohma,
he's tried to eliminate me over and over again!
I have to kill him.
I see…
Setsuna, you're…
I…
Setsuna, you must not lose sight of yourself.
You grew more skilled and stronger as you were searching for Ohma.
But in the process, something possessed you.
Possessed?
It's okay!
I can help you and Ohma become closer.
Setsuna?
Setsuna. Get a hold of yourself.
So that's where you've been hiding, Niko?!
I won't let you get away with this again!
I knew something felt off out here.
So it was you, Setsuna Kiryu.
-Ohma! -Hey.
Don't give me "Hey!"
What do you mean something felt off?
I grew up in a dodgy place,
so I can just tell.
This guy's killed before.
Huh?
Without reason too.
What is it?
Revenge for being eliminated from the tournament?
Revenge?
I would never.
My goal has always been to have a match against you on the perfect stage.
Isn't that right?
Before you go, tell me one thing.
What's your name?
Setsuna…
Setsuna Kiryu.
Don't forget it.
It's the name of your archenemy.
Do you remember now?
Do you remember that touching night? Our promise?
Even so…
I'm going to kill you!
When you use that move, you rotate from the elbow.
Did you forget? I already saw through your trick ten years ago.
Why?! Why are you defending Niko Tokita?!
Niko?
Niko isn't with us anymore…
Ohma, what's Setsuna talking about?
He's broken.
Huh?
Because he lost to Kuroki?
No. He always has been.
He's been broken for a long time.
Huh?
Stay back, Kazuo Yamashita.
I-I don't understand…
I don't understand, Ohma…
Why do you have that look in your eyes?
Are you really the person I've been looking up to this whole time?
Maybe the person who made you this way
is me.
Let's put an end to this. And to our destiny.
H-Hold on!
Just calm down, you two!
SOLITARY SHADOW STYLE RAKSHASA'S PALM
H-He's really trying to kill him!
NIKO STYLE HEAVENLY FIRE FORM FLASHFIRE
He used the same move as Ohma!
RAKSHASA'S PALM
HEAVENLY FIRE FORM PHANTOM STEP
ADAMANTINE FORM IRONBREAKER, KICK
FLOW CONTROL FORM WILLOW
ADAMANTINE, HEAVENLY FIRE FORM IRON MOMENT, SMASH
Poor thing…
You're still under Niko Tokita's curse…
Wh-What's happening?
He hasn't taken any damage at all!
But he's been hit at least twice already!
C-Could it be…
Since Setsuna uses moves that are similar to Ohma's…
Maybe that means he knows how to dodge them too!
Niko's curse?
Stop spouting bullshit.
This isn't the fight I've been waiting for.
This isn't the real you.
The true you is supposed to be unveiled at the end of the tournament,
as you become a god!
I'll set you free,
the real you that's hidden inside your heart.
A boy in search of God who turned into a beast.
A beast who learned martial arts and turned into a human.
The final fight between this ill-fated duo
is about to begin!

The moment you've been waiting for! These two are about to fight for real!
Their pasts are finally revealed!
Who taught Ohma Life Advance?
Who is the real Niko?
