[yells]

2
00:00:12,470 --> 00:00:15,223
[narrator] Ohma Tokita
versus Takeshi Wakatsuki.

3
00:00:16,558 --> 00:00:17,892
Their match came to its end

4
00:00:17,976 --> 00:00:21,771
when Ohma unleashed
a secret technique from Niko style,

5
00:00:21,855 --> 00:00:23,481
the Demon Slaughterer.

6
00:00:24,524 --> 00:00:28,028
Wakatsuki had been
one of the top picks to win it all.

7
00:00:28,111 --> 00:00:31,823
[Wakatsuki] It took too long for me
to realize what was happening out there.

8
00:00:31,906 --> 00:00:33,408
That's the reason that I lost.

9
00:00:33,491 --> 00:00:34,659
TAKESHI WAKATSUKI (ELIMINATED)

10
00:00:35,785 --> 00:00:38,538
The move Tokita used is a counterattack.

11
00:00:38,621 --> 00:00:40,123
He redirects the power

12
00:00:40,206 --> 00:00:43,251
from his opponent's attack
and amplifies it back at them.

13
00:00:44,127 --> 00:00:46,129
It's an extremely advanced technique.

14
00:00:46,671 --> 00:00:49,549
That's the only unusual thing I noticed.

15
00:00:49,632 --> 00:00:50,759
[gentle music playing]

16
00:00:50,842 --> 00:00:52,594
If I took a random guess,

17
00:00:52,677 --> 00:00:56,014
I bet that move doesn't belong
to any sort of fixed form.

18
00:00:56,598 --> 00:00:58,975
The first time he used it against me,

19
00:00:59,059 --> 00:01:01,561
I was expecting he would use a simple jab.

20
00:01:02,812 --> 00:01:05,231
But we see how things turned out.

21
00:01:05,857 --> 00:01:06,733
[Furumi] Hmm.

22
00:01:06,816 --> 00:01:08,943
I should've noticed the move earlier.

23
00:01:09,527 --> 00:01:12,447
Once I failed to see
exactly what he was attempting,

24
00:01:12,989 --> 00:01:14,991
that's when the match was decided.

25
00:01:15,533 --> 00:01:17,952
[Furumi] Wakatsuki, you fought hard.

26
00:01:18,036 --> 00:01:20,371
You don't need to do this to yourself.

27
00:01:20,455 --> 00:01:22,082
You did everything you could.

28
00:01:22,165 --> 00:01:24,084
If I'm being completely honest,

29
00:01:24,167 --> 00:01:28,505
my hope was for you to be
the chairman of the Kengan Association.

30
00:01:29,380 --> 00:01:31,758
I was born with this unique body.

31
00:01:32,550 --> 00:01:35,303
Even my parents thought
I was too much to handle.

32
00:01:35,386 --> 00:01:37,555
But you watched over me the whole time.

33
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,226
You put your life on the line to teach me.

34
00:01:41,309 --> 00:01:45,980
If you hadn't, I never would've been able
to learn how to control my strength.

35
00:01:48,483 --> 00:01:49,818
It's all because of you.

36
00:01:50,318 --> 00:01:52,070
The reason I made it this far.

37
00:01:52,570 --> 00:01:54,823
The truth is I owe you.

38
00:01:55,448 --> 00:01:57,450
And I wanted to pay you back.

39
00:01:57,534 --> 00:01:59,619
It's not about you abilities.

40
00:02:00,161 --> 00:02:04,082
Well, I mean, the business world
isn't really my strong suit.

41
00:02:04,165 --> 00:02:06,209
The only reason I made it this far,

42
00:02:06,292 --> 00:02:07,335
well, to be honest,

43
00:02:07,418 --> 00:02:11,047
is the talented people
that I have working behind me.

44
00:02:12,298 --> 00:02:16,803
Someone like me would've never been
a good fit to head the Kengan Association.

45
00:02:19,556 --> 00:02:21,558
Or at least that's what I thought.

46
00:02:22,308 --> 00:02:25,353
But now that I think about it,
maybe if I had gotten the position,

47
00:02:25,436 --> 00:02:27,105
things would've worked out, huh?

48
00:02:27,856 --> 00:02:29,941
If everyone helped me out, maybe,

49
00:02:30,024 --> 00:02:33,069
just maybe I could've found a way
to make it work.

50
00:02:33,653 --> 00:02:34,612
Absolutely.

51
00:02:35,113 --> 00:02:37,323
People will help if you just ask.

52
00:02:37,949 --> 00:02:40,577
If the boss demonstrates
that he has confidence,

53
00:02:40,660 --> 00:02:41,995
everyone else will too.

54
00:02:42,078 --> 00:02:43,955
Never thought of that.

55
00:02:44,038 --> 00:02:45,373
Yeah, good point.

56
00:02:45,456 --> 00:02:48,376
If I ever become chairman,
I'll give it everything I've got.

57
00:02:48,459 --> 00:02:49,377
President,

58
00:02:50,003 --> 00:02:52,755
I'm so grateful for everything.

59
00:02:52,839 --> 00:02:55,091
Hold on. No thanks needed.

60
00:02:55,592 --> 00:02:58,928
All that I said was
"if I ever were to become the chairman…"

61
00:02:59,721 --> 00:03:01,181
But for me to get there,

62
00:03:01,681 --> 00:03:04,184
I'll need someone else's help with that.

63
00:03:04,684 --> 00:03:05,894
Right, Takeshi?

64
00:03:05,977 --> 00:03:07,061
[chuckles]

65
00:03:08,980 --> 00:03:11,065

SUPREME STRENGTH

86
00:04:48,037 --> 00:04:51,833
[Inaba] Wakatsuki was the one who had
control of the match the whole time,

87
00:04:51,916 --> 00:04:54,377
but the tides turned on him in an instant.

88
00:04:54,460 --> 00:04:55,837
Niko Style.

89
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,673
I can't believe
how little we know about it.

90
00:04:58,756 --> 00:05:00,174
It's so powerful.

91
00:05:00,258 --> 00:05:03,094
Ohma's the reason why it's that amazing.

92
00:05:03,177 --> 00:05:05,305
I know because I fought against him.

93
00:05:05,388 --> 00:05:07,056
That move looked nasty.

94
00:05:07,140 --> 00:05:09,642
I bet even Wakatsuki wasn't expecting it.

95
00:05:10,143 --> 00:05:14,105
Well, it just goes to show you
everybody's got a trick up their sleeve.

96
00:05:14,188 --> 00:05:17,608
But I never would've let him
hit me to begin with.

97
00:05:18,109 --> 00:05:22,280
Although, do you really think
Ohma will fight, or will he get replaced?

98
00:05:22,864 --> 00:05:25,408
That'll be
up to his employer's discretion.

99
00:05:25,491 --> 00:05:28,119
[Ohkubo] Seriously, switching him out
is the right thing to do.

100
00:05:28,202 --> 00:05:32,373
[Inaba] Yeah, I don't see them having
much of a choice given his condition.

101
00:05:32,457 --> 00:05:33,833
-[all] Hmm.

What are you all just doing

105
00:05:40,590 --> 00:05:43,051
Get going.
The next match is about to start.

106
00:05:43,134 --> 00:05:45,511
[Himuro] What about you?
Aren't you coming?

107
00:05:45,595 --> 00:05:49,891
Nope. If I'm gonna cheer on my teacher,
I wanna do it from the box seating.

108
00:05:49,974 --> 00:05:53,728
I plan on being close to the action
and totally comfortable.

109
00:05:53,811 --> 00:05:54,937
[Kaneda] Your teacher?

110
00:05:55,521 --> 00:05:57,690
Oh, you mean Kuroki!

111
00:05:57,774 --> 00:06:02,278
Wait. You're actually rooting
for the guy that just kicked your ass?

112
00:06:02,362 --> 00:06:04,405
Yeah. You got a problem with that?

113
00:06:04,489 --> 00:06:06,324
Take it easy, buddy.

114
00:06:06,407 --> 00:06:08,785
I mean, you come across as the type of guy

115
00:06:08,868 --> 00:06:11,662
who totally hates admitting to anyone
that they lost.

116
00:06:11,746 --> 00:06:12,622
I do!

117
00:06:12,705 --> 00:06:14,624
It sucks, and I totally hate it!

118
00:06:14,707 --> 00:06:16,793
[Inaba] But you sound
kind of happy about it.

119
00:06:16,876 --> 00:06:19,128
Accepting it is my only choice.

120
00:06:19,212 --> 00:06:21,130
I'm not strong enough to beat him yet.

121
00:06:21,214 --> 00:06:24,717
But stand by.
My story's just getting started!

122
00:06:24,801 --> 00:06:26,344
Watch and learn, you guys.

123
00:06:26,427 --> 00:06:28,304
A year from now, or two,

124
00:06:28,388 --> 00:06:30,973
I'll be way more ripped
than I am right now.

125
00:06:31,057 --> 00:06:32,892
If I can learn from watching this fight,

126
00:06:32,975 --> 00:06:35,561
then dealing with a temporary setback
will be a piece of cake.

127
00:06:35,645 --> 00:06:36,938
-[all] Hmm.
-[Ohkubo chuckles]

128
00:06:37,021 --> 00:06:39,399
[Lihito] I'll trash every one of you,
including Tokita.

129
00:06:39,482 --> 00:06:42,151
And someday, I'll even beat my teacher.

130
00:06:42,235 --> 00:06:45,029
I'll put the super in superhuman!

131
00:06:45,113 --> 00:06:47,323
[Himuro] Hmm. You're quite the talker.

132
00:06:47,407 --> 00:06:48,533
[Inaba] Hmm.

133
00:06:48,616 --> 00:06:51,160
Just a lot of yapping if you ask me.

134
00:06:51,244 --> 00:06:53,454
Obviously this guy
doesn't know the game yet.

135
00:06:53,538 --> 00:06:55,164
All right, everyone. That's enough.

136
00:06:55,248 --> 00:06:58,292
Back off! I don't have time
to talk to you anymore.

137
00:06:58,376 --> 00:07:00,920
I should be out there
watching my teacher and taking notes.

138
00:07:01,003 --> 00:07:02,797
I gotta find a pencil and paper.

139
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,006
See you later!

140
00:07:05,174 --> 00:07:06,759
What's gotten into him?

141
00:07:06,843 --> 00:07:09,137
That guy really likes to run his mouth.

142
00:07:09,220 --> 00:07:10,513
My point of view,

143
00:07:11,013 --> 00:07:14,517
anyone who's here
wants the chance to prove their strength,

144
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:15,476
meaning…

145
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:16,561
[all] Huh?

146
00:07:16,644 --> 00:07:18,813
I've been watching Ohma closely.

147
00:07:19,564 --> 00:07:22,733
And I can tell you right now,
he's not gonna back down.

148
00:07:22,817 --> 00:07:24,235
[all chuckle]

149
00:07:24,318 --> 00:07:25,278
You're right.

150
00:07:25,361 --> 00:07:26,362
Yeah.

151
00:07:26,446 --> 00:07:27,530
Too bad.

152
00:07:27,613 --> 00:07:29,991
If my arm had healed,
I'd be out there with him.

153
00:07:30,074 --> 00:07:33,953
You guys are nothing but a bunch of idiots
who don't know what's good for you.

154
00:07:34,036 --> 00:07:35,746
But… I am too.

155
00:07:35,830 --> 00:07:38,416
[Himuro] Whatever.
Let's head back to our seats.

156
00:07:38,499 --> 00:07:42,712
[Kaneda] Yeah, this will be a great match,
and I don't wanna miss any of it.

157
00:07:44,464 --> 00:07:47,383
KAZUO YAMASHITA
YAMASHITA CORPORATION PRESIDENT

158
00:07:47,925 --> 00:07:50,261
[Kaede] Are you sure about this, chairman?

159
00:07:50,344 --> 00:07:52,472
Are you really going
to send out Ohma out there?

160
00:07:52,555 --> 00:07:53,973
I mean, in his condition?

161
00:07:54,474 --> 00:07:57,268
Yamashita was the one
who made the decision.

162
00:07:57,351 --> 00:07:59,979
He wanted Ohma in the finals.
He insisted on it.

163
00:08:00,605 --> 00:08:01,481
[thinking] Hmm?

164
00:08:02,023 --> 00:08:05,359
Did something happen?
The chairman has been acting strange

165
00:08:05,443 --> 00:08:08,279
ever since he had
that conversation with Yamashita.

166
00:08:10,698 --> 00:08:12,033
[sentimental music playing]

167
00:08:12,116 --> 00:08:16,037
Ohma, you should try and get some rest
before the finals.

168
00:08:16,579 --> 00:08:17,872
I'm fine.

169
00:08:17,955 --> 00:08:19,707
I'd rather just wait like this.

170
00:08:20,416 --> 00:08:22,084
[thinking] It's incredible.

171
00:08:22,793 --> 00:08:28,174
I believe that the last move he used
somehow caused severe internal damage.

172
00:08:28,966 --> 00:08:32,136
Apparently,
Ohma's technique is quite unique

173
00:08:32,220 --> 00:08:35,389
and allows him to reflect
his opponent's strength back at them.

174
00:08:35,973 --> 00:08:39,560
It'd be suicide
if he tried using it again right now.

175
00:08:40,436 --> 00:08:43,481
So if he does decide
to fight in the finals,

176
00:08:43,564 --> 00:08:46,484
he'll stand to lose a lot more
than just the match.

177
00:08:47,527 --> 00:08:49,820
I'd be surprised if he didn't know that.

178
00:08:50,571 --> 00:08:52,198
And yet here we are.

179
00:08:53,658 --> 00:08:55,826
Just one more. We got this.

180
00:08:56,744 --> 00:08:58,496
[thinking] I just don't get it.

181
00:08:59,163 --> 00:09:01,457
He actually seems pretty upbeat,

182
00:09:02,208 --> 00:09:04,460
like he thinks he's got a chance to win.

183
00:09:05,962 --> 00:09:06,921
[sighs]

184
00:09:07,755 --> 00:09:11,050
As a patient, you certainly are a handful.

185
00:09:11,551 --> 00:09:16,097
Yoshizawa, give him whatever he needs
to get him ready to fight again.

186
00:09:16,180 --> 00:09:17,181
Okay.

187
00:09:17,265 --> 00:09:18,432
[crowd cheering]

188
00:09:18,516 --> 00:09:20,685
[Sayaka] Listen
to how pumped the crowd is!

189
00:09:21,394 --> 00:09:25,189
Just look at them!
You can feel the energy, the passion.

190
00:09:25,273 --> 00:09:26,566
-It's incredible!
-Wow! [laughing]

191
00:09:26,649 --> 00:09:29,026
The hype here
is completely off the charts!

192
00:09:29,110 --> 00:09:31,612
The wait is over

193
00:09:31,696 --> 00:09:34,198
because two massive titans of martial arts

194
00:09:34,282 --> 00:09:36,576
are about to clash in the heat of battle.

195
00:09:37,159 --> 00:09:38,661
The semifinals.

196
00:09:38,744 --> 00:09:42,498
Forgive me for being rude,
but I am surprised just a bit.

197
00:09:42,582 --> 00:09:46,127
I never imagined your fighter
would make it through this far.

198
00:09:46,794 --> 00:09:48,129
I'm right there with you.

199
00:09:48,754 --> 00:09:50,923
I wasn't expecting this to happen either.

200
00:09:51,424 --> 00:09:55,136
I was shocked you participated
in this tournament in the first place.

201
00:09:55,219 --> 00:09:58,472
I hadn't pinned you for the type
who had any interest in power.

202
00:09:58,556 --> 00:10:00,349
Well, I guess you pinned me right.

203
00:10:00,933 --> 00:10:03,394
I just happened
to be born into a rich family,

204
00:10:03,477 --> 00:10:06,897
and from there, I happened
to inherit the company my family owned.

205
00:10:06,981 --> 00:10:10,818
I've never really been the kind of guy
who would seek out power or authority.

206
00:10:11,527 --> 00:10:15,489
At the start, I wasn't actually planning
on participating in this tournament.

207
00:10:16,365 --> 00:10:18,951
But then an old friend of mine
paid me a visit

208
00:10:19,035 --> 00:10:21,787
and asked me to sponsor him
to join the competition.

209
00:10:22,330 --> 00:10:23,164
[chuckles]

210
00:10:23,247 --> 00:10:26,250
I can't turn down a request
from a friend, now, can I?

211
00:10:26,334 --> 00:10:27,501
[chuckles]

212
00:10:28,044 --> 00:10:29,503
-Oh and…
-Hmm?

213
00:10:29,587 --> 00:10:32,840
I have always believed that dreams
will predict the future

214
00:10:32,923 --> 00:10:34,008
Oh?

215
00:10:34,592 --> 00:10:38,137
Oddly enough, I actually dreamed
about the tournament last night.

216
00:10:38,220 --> 00:10:39,513
Hmm.

217
00:10:40,306 --> 00:10:43,267
It was during that dream I saw Kanoh

218
00:10:44,060 --> 00:10:45,645
lose to Kuroki.

219
00:10:46,228 --> 00:10:47,813
Sounds like a pipe dream.

220
00:10:48,606 --> 00:10:52,151
It's match two of the semifinals.

221
00:10:52,234 --> 00:10:53,319
All right, fighters.

222
00:10:53,402 --> 00:10:55,446
Finally, enter!

223
00:10:55,529 --> 00:10:56,781
[rock music playing]

224
00:10:56,864 --> 00:11:00,451
He's bet everything he's got
on his own two arms.

225
00:11:00,534 --> 00:11:03,621
His rock hard muscles
are proof of his training.

226
00:11:03,704 --> 00:11:07,416
His thick arms represent
his years of dedication.

227
00:11:07,500 --> 00:11:11,379
His wide frame shows
how much he's pursued perfection.

228
00:11:11,462 --> 00:11:13,798
Still on the path to his goal,

229
00:11:13,881 --> 00:11:16,217
at the ripe age of 50…

230
00:11:16,300 --> 00:11:18,678
I mean, how much stronger can he get?

231
00:11:19,178 --> 00:11:21,681
What future awaits him
at the end of the road?

232
00:11:22,181 --> 00:11:26,644
At 185 centimeters and 96 kilograms,

240
00:11:53,254 --> 00:11:55,381
Okay, folks. We've seen it all.

241
00:11:55,464 --> 00:11:57,299
His dignity,

00:11:57,383 --> 00:11:58,426

his evolution!

244
00:12:01,470 --> 00:12:04,014
Yes, we should all prepare ourselves,

245
00:12:04,098 --> 00:12:07,059
for we are about to bear witness
to a new chapter

246
00:12:07,143 --> 00:12:10,730
in the legend
of an already invincible man!

247
00:12:10,813 --> 00:12:12,356
We're at the front lines!

248
00:12:12,940 --> 00:12:17,862
This is the war for the title
of emperor of the Kengan matches!

00:12:18,529 --> 00:12:22,742
At 201 centimeters and 128 kilograms,

With Dainippon Bank as his sponsor,

254
00:12:38,841 --> 00:12:41,302
he's the Fang of Metsudo,

Agito Kanoh!

[crowd clamoring]

259
00:13:02,114 --> 00:13:04,158
[scoffs] Do you guys hear the crowd?

260
00:13:04,241 --> 00:13:05,451
They sound different.

261
00:13:05,534 --> 00:13:08,412
Yeah. They're not chanting "Fang" anymore.

262
00:13:08,496 --> 00:13:10,748
They know they're evenly matched.

263
00:13:10,831 --> 00:13:13,250
It's possible this fight
could go either way.

264
00:13:14,335 --> 00:13:17,004
We'll have to wait and see
how all this turns out.

265
00:13:17,713 --> 00:13:20,674
This is it.
The referee has entered the ring.

266
00:13:21,175 --> 00:13:25,387
The electricity in the arena
got cranked up to a whole new level.

267
00:13:26,388 --> 00:13:28,724
It's about to go down!

268
00:13:29,475 --> 00:13:32,853
[Sayaka] Oh, I've got goosebumps
waiting for this match.

269
00:13:32,937 --> 00:13:38,734
This is by far the most anticipated duel
on this island in the 21st century!

270
00:13:40,611 --> 00:13:43,405
Fighters, get ready!

271
00:13:43,489 --> 00:13:45,407
[action music playing]

272
00:13:51,497 --> 00:13:54,083
Fighters, you ready?

273
00:13:54,667 --> 00:13:56,252
Foolish question.

274
00:13:56,335 --> 00:13:58,128
I concur.

275
00:13:58,212 --> 00:14:01,465
The one moving on is me.

276
00:14:01,966 --> 00:14:04,802
You challenge the king of Kengan matches?

277
00:14:05,594 --> 00:14:06,846
I accept.

278
00:14:07,346 --> 00:14:09,932
And… begin!

279
00:14:10,015 --> 00:14:11,559
[Sayaka] Okay, here we go.

280
00:14:15,145 --> 00:14:15,980
Huh?

281
00:14:16,063 --> 00:14:18,732
Uh, Jerry, it doesn't look
like they're moving.

282
00:14:18,816 --> 00:14:19,692
[Jerry] What the hell?

283
00:14:19,775 --> 00:14:23,237
So, even though the referee
has already started off the match,

284
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:24,280
it's slow going.

285
00:14:24,363 --> 00:14:27,199
Neither fighter
shows any signs of moving just yet.

286
00:14:27,283 --> 00:14:29,618
What's this tension in the air?

287
00:14:29,702 --> 00:14:32,204
The two of them are at a total standstill.

288
00:14:32,288 --> 00:14:35,666
But there's a pressure
that is spilling out of the arena.

289
00:14:36,292 --> 00:14:37,668
[Jerry] Wait a minute.

290
00:14:37,751 --> 00:14:38,669
Huh?

291
00:14:38,752 --> 00:14:41,630
What if they're both thinking
the same thing?

292
00:14:42,131 --> 00:14:43,299
I may be wrong,

293
00:14:43,382 --> 00:14:46,802
but what if they're both
waiting to launch a counterattack?

294
00:14:47,553 --> 00:14:50,514
Meaning as each waits
for the other to make the first move,

295
00:14:50,598 --> 00:14:52,141
it's causing a deadlock.

296
00:14:52,224 --> 00:14:53,392
He's wrong.

297
00:14:53,475 --> 00:14:56,145
This fight has actually already begun.

298
00:14:56,228 --> 00:14:59,315
Pre-initiative, a technique
in which the fighter

299
00:14:59,398 --> 00:15:02,067
waits for the changes
in his opponent's energy

300
00:15:02,151 --> 00:15:03,652
and strikes the moment they move.

301
00:15:04,153 --> 00:15:07,823
So what happens when two fighters
attempt to use it at the same time?

302
00:15:08,365 --> 00:15:11,327
They both try to read the other person
and wait.

303
00:15:12,077 --> 00:15:15,122
Whoever detects these fluctuations
gets the edge.

304
00:15:15,748 --> 00:15:18,667
It's over now.
They're done testing each other.

305
00:15:19,251 --> 00:15:20,669
They're moving.

306
00:15:22,087 --> 00:15:23,881
[Sayaka] Kuroki makes the first move!

307
00:15:25,758 --> 00:15:27,217
-[Kuroki grunts]
-[Sayaka gasps]

308
00:15:27,301 --> 00:15:29,094
-Did I see that right?
-[grunts]

309
00:15:29,178 --> 00:15:31,597
It looks like the attack
just passed through the guy.

310
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,224
Their hands are moving like ghosts.

311
00:15:34,308 --> 00:15:37,353
Even at such a close range,
these attacks won't hit.

312
00:15:37,436 --> 00:15:40,773
[Jerry] Did you say ghosts?
Hold on! I'm afraid of ghosts!

313
00:15:40,856 --> 00:15:42,483
[thinking] Oh, give me a break.

314
00:15:42,983 --> 00:15:46,028
Is showing off like that really necessary?

315
00:15:46,695 --> 00:15:50,074
They're both detecting irregularities
in their opponent's energy

316
00:15:50,157 --> 00:15:53,035
and quickly dodging
before the other can land a hit.

317
00:15:53,619 --> 00:15:58,290
But from the outside, it looks like
their attacks are missing their targets.

318
00:15:58,874 --> 00:16:02,294
It's pretty obvious that
neither one of them can use their legs.

319
00:16:02,378 --> 00:16:05,506
Whoever's instincts are stronger
will come out on top.

320
00:16:05,589 --> 00:16:10,052
It all depends on which one of them
is better at the pre-initiative technique.

321
00:16:11,971 --> 00:16:12,846
[Kuroki grunts]

322
00:16:15,140 --> 00:16:16,141
[thinking] Huh?

323
00:16:17,351 --> 00:16:20,062
[narrator] The balance of the match
has begun to shift.

324
00:16:20,562 --> 00:16:24,817
Kanoh's moves are starting to land
more and more as time passes.

325
00:16:27,444 --> 00:16:30,364
He took any opportunity that he was given.

326
00:16:31,073 --> 00:16:31,907
[gasps]

327
00:16:34,535 --> 00:16:37,413
[narrator] But the one
who truly seized the moment

328
00:16:38,163 --> 00:16:39,915
was Gensai Kuroki.

329
00:16:46,463 --> 00:16:49,299
White Rose Mountain, Daisenji Temple.

330
00:16:50,009 --> 00:16:50,843
WHITE ROSE MOUNTAIN

331
00:16:50,926 --> 00:16:52,803
Since the Kamakura period,

332
00:16:53,470 --> 00:16:56,932
countless martial arts masters
have visited this mecca

333
00:16:57,016 --> 00:16:58,600
to receive training.

334
00:17:00,102 --> 00:17:02,438
[Kuroki] Chief Priest, you have my thanks.

335
00:17:03,439 --> 00:17:05,941
My training went well
because of your care.

336
00:17:06,025 --> 00:17:08,027
[mysterious music playing]

337
00:17:08,777 --> 00:17:10,779
[Kuroki] Daiei, Hokuei,

338
00:17:10,863 --> 00:17:12,740
work hard, train hard.

339
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:14,199
[Daiei and Hokuei] Amen.

340
00:17:15,159 --> 00:17:17,619
[Kuroki] May you all
live on in good health.

341
00:17:19,496 --> 00:17:20,664
Farewell.

342
00:17:21,874 --> 00:17:23,876
[Daiei] He's quite an incredible fellow.

343
00:17:25,044 --> 00:17:27,838
That purgatory has killed lesser men.

344
00:17:28,505 --> 00:17:30,466
For the last three days and nights,

345
00:17:30,549 --> 00:17:34,053
he's been praying
while completely surrounded by flames.

346
00:17:34,887 --> 00:17:37,931
Watching him,
he somehow made it look easy.

347
00:17:38,432 --> 00:17:40,809
[Priest] It must be loneliness.

348
00:17:40,893 --> 00:17:41,810
[Hokuei and Daiei] Huh?

349
00:17:41,894 --> 00:17:42,728
[Daiei] Priest.

350
00:17:43,395 --> 00:17:44,897
[Hokuei] What is loneliness?

351
00:17:45,397 --> 00:17:48,817
[Priest] He's the embodiment
of wisdom, Vidyaraja.

352
00:17:48,901 --> 00:17:51,653
I've been alive for 105 years,

353
00:17:51,737 --> 00:17:54,948
but in all that time,
I've never met anyone like him.

354
00:17:55,866 --> 00:17:59,036
He has transcended and become too strong.

355
00:17:59,578 --> 00:18:04,416
The only person left alive
that can match his level of power is him.

356
00:18:04,500 --> 00:18:06,710
That's why he feels alone.

357
00:18:06,794 --> 00:18:07,711
LONELINESS

358
00:18:09,088 --> 00:18:12,466
[Priest] I wonder if Kuroki
will meet his match someday?

359
00:18:13,634 --> 00:18:16,845
A person
who can fill that void inside him.

360
00:18:17,346 --> 00:18:18,972
-[blow lands]
-[crowd cheers]

361
00:18:19,056 --> 00:18:20,808
[Sayaka] There it is!

362
00:18:21,809 --> 00:18:25,104
The Devil Lance has been unleashed!

363
00:18:25,854 --> 00:18:26,855
[gasps]

364
00:18:27,731 --> 00:18:30,484
[narrator] Kanoh moved to the left
to dodge the Devil Lance

365
00:18:30,567 --> 00:18:32,611
and was thrown off balance as a result.

366
00:18:32,694 --> 00:18:35,114
Kuroki follows with a jab to the eye.

367
00:18:35,197 --> 00:18:36,532
[Agito thinking] No problem.

368
00:18:36,615 --> 00:18:39,368
-[gasps]
-[narrator] Kanoh attacks again.

369
00:18:40,244 --> 00:18:41,161
[grunts]

370
00:18:41,245 --> 00:18:43,080
[narrator] He knew what to do.

371
00:18:44,248 --> 00:18:47,000
By limiting the locations
near his head and neck

372
00:18:47,084 --> 00:18:48,585
that were easily targeted,

373
00:18:49,253 --> 00:18:51,547
he had influenced Kuroki's attack.

374
00:18:52,047 --> 00:18:55,551
Kanoh saw an opportunity
and did not let it pass.

375
00:18:56,051 --> 00:18:57,511
[Sayaka] Look at him go!

376
00:18:57,594 --> 00:18:58,846
Did he land a hit?

377
00:18:59,346 --> 00:19:00,389
[Sayaka gasps]

378
00:19:01,598 --> 00:19:06,019
[thinking] Sanchin, that's
a blocking technique from Ryukyu karate.

379
00:19:06,103 --> 00:19:07,688
[thinking] That might be a simple move,

380
00:19:07,771 --> 00:19:10,732
but it requires
a high level of skill to do.

381
00:19:11,233 --> 00:19:13,610
Anyone who can get full mastery over it

382
00:19:13,694 --> 00:19:16,029
can withstand all types of attacks.

383
00:19:16,613 --> 00:19:19,324
When someone
as good as Kuroki uses Sanchin,

384
00:19:19,408 --> 00:19:22,244
Kanoh won't be able
to break through it that easily.

385
00:19:22,870 --> 00:19:23,954
[thinking] He's tough.

386
00:19:24,037 --> 00:19:26,999
I feel like I'm punching
a boulder and not a man.

387
00:19:27,708 --> 00:19:28,834
Doesn't matter.

388
00:19:28,917 --> 00:19:31,086
I'll keep punching till he crumbles!

389
00:19:31,170 --> 00:19:32,045
[Kuroki grunts]

390
00:19:32,754 --> 00:19:34,923
[Agito thinking] That was
a bad move, Kuroki.

391
00:19:35,007 --> 00:19:38,385
When two fighters use the same technique
against each other,

392
00:19:38,468 --> 00:19:40,804
it's hard to catch up
once you fall behind.

393
00:19:42,514 --> 00:19:43,807
[Kuroki] Mm.

394
00:19:45,058 --> 00:19:46,059
[Agito grunts]

395
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:47,561
[Kuroki grunts]

396
00:19:50,564 --> 00:19:51,857
Whoa!

397
00:19:51,940 --> 00:19:55,527
Kuroki's been knocked off balance
with a barrage of hits!

398
00:19:56,195 --> 00:19:58,530
-[man] The Fang's gonna win!
-[man 2] No, man! It's Kanoh!

399
00:19:58,614 --> 00:20:00,240
[man 3] Kuroki's a big punching bag!

400
00:20:00,324 --> 00:20:03,035
[narrator]
The Fang of Metsudo's full force!

401
00:20:03,702 --> 00:20:05,787
Agito Kanoh rained hell fire.

402
00:20:06,330 --> 00:20:07,748
Now's my chance.

403
00:20:09,333 --> 00:20:10,250
[gasps]

404
00:20:12,127 --> 00:20:16,757
[narrator] And this is
the unstoppable force of Gensai Kuroki.

405
00:20:17,841 --> 00:20:18,967
[Agito groans]

406
00:20:20,844 --> 00:20:22,304
A hand chop, huh?

407
00:20:22,387 --> 00:20:24,306
[crowd clamoring]

408
00:20:24,389 --> 00:20:26,308
An excellent choice.

409
00:20:26,391 --> 00:20:27,643
[Kuroki grunts]

410
00:20:29,102 --> 00:20:32,272
[narrator] Kuroki was certain
he had read Kanoh's next move.

411
00:20:32,356 --> 00:20:36,652
However, Kanoh had gone far beyond
what Kuroki was expecting.

412
00:20:37,361 --> 00:20:38,528
[Metsudo] Hmm.

413
00:20:38,612 --> 00:20:41,031
-[gasps]
-Whoa! What is that?

414
00:20:41,615 --> 00:20:42,908
The form he's using…

415
00:20:43,575 --> 00:20:46,078
[thinking] I know I can't rely
on Inner Tactics alone

416
00:20:46,161 --> 00:20:48,205
to win against someone as good as you.

417
00:20:48,705 --> 00:20:50,040
So instead,

418
00:20:50,707 --> 00:20:53,001
I'll use everything else!

419
00:20:53,877 --> 00:20:57,214
He had that same expression
when he fought both me and Kaolan.

420
00:20:59,049 --> 00:21:01,051
[action music playing]

421
00:21:04,054 --> 00:21:05,889
[thinking] His style switched again.

422
00:21:06,390 --> 00:21:09,851
Actually, it's like
he's a completely different person.

423
00:21:10,352 --> 00:21:11,895
That idiot!

424
00:21:11,979 --> 00:21:13,730
He's using Formless!

425
00:21:13,814 --> 00:21:15,899
-[Takayama] Not bad.
-Huh?

426
00:21:16,483 --> 00:21:18,110
He embodies Inner Tactics.

427
00:21:18,610 --> 00:21:21,530
Gensai Kuroki's principles are rock solid.

428
00:21:21,613 --> 00:21:22,906
No matter who tries,

429
00:21:22,990 --> 00:21:26,410
using Inner Tactics puts them
at a disadvantage against him.

430
00:21:26,493 --> 00:21:28,704
If you wanna win against Kuroki,

431
00:21:28,787 --> 00:21:30,539
then using a technique like Formless,

432
00:21:30,622 --> 00:21:33,500
which exists
outside the principles of Inner Tactics,

433
00:21:33,583 --> 00:21:34,918
would work better.

434
00:21:35,836 --> 00:21:38,338
Kanoh must have come
to the same conclusion.

435
00:21:39,006 --> 00:21:42,676
That must be why he decided
to unseal the Formless style now.

436
00:21:45,929 --> 00:21:47,848
[narrator] Blow after blow after blow.

437
00:21:48,807 --> 00:21:50,851
Despite the barrage,

438
00:21:50,934 --> 00:21:54,021
Gensai Kuroki was still in the game.

439
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:59,401
[Kuroki thinking] A lack of a fixed form
makes this harder to work around.

440
00:21:59,484 --> 00:22:01,611
But I can still see an opening.

441
00:22:06,575 --> 00:22:07,409
Now!
