MOKICHI ROBINSON, FIGHTER OF SENTORY (ELIMINATED)
KEIZABURO SAWADA (ELIMINATED 1ST ROUND)
The crowd in the arena must be charged up.
I can't contain my anger.
YOSHIKO TOGAWA, PRESIDENT OF MURDER MUSIC
I'm sorry, Sawada.
This is all my fault for not being cautious enough.
LIHITO OF SH FROZEN STORAGE
Lihito.
What? Did you come here to mock me before your match tomorrow?
Sawada... who did this to you?
Oh, it was--
Why do you ask?
Are you going to avenge me or something?
Sawada?
Don't underestimate me, prick.
Your sympathy is no different from an insult to me.
To us fighters, results are all that matters.
We don't need to cozy up to one another like ordinary people!
Yoshiko, you shouldn't feel responsible for me, either.
I just fought of my own free will, okay?
Sawada...
Just wait and see.
Once I've healed up, I'm going to get my revenge on them.
Sawada.
I'm on it. Leave it to me.
I promise I'll win this tournament.
I'll get your revenge on them.
Oh, my goodness. Did you even hear a word I just said?
I don't want you to fight for me.
And besides, winning this tournament has nothing to do with revenge.
I knew you were stupid, but this is beyond my understanding!
But I guess, at least, you're much better than the Toyo fellas.
Hey, don't touch me! I'm injured.
Oh, sorry.
They're such good friends, huh, Doctor?
K. YOSHIZAWA & H. HANAFUSA, NURSE & FIGHTER OF TEITO UNI
I'm glad that the medical office is getting pretty noisy.
I can't wait to have another patient tomorrow.
That's enough, Doctor.
"MASTER AND PUPIL"
ADAM DUDLEY, REP. FIGHTER OF BOSS BURGER (ELIMINATED IN THE FIRST ROUND)
Why the hell do I have to eat with you guys?
There's something I wanted to tell you in person.
COSMO IMAI, FIGHTER NISHIHONJI SECURITY
AKIRA NISHIHONJI PRESIDENT
You really are strong.
I'm the winner this time, though.
Are you picking a fight with me?
I admit, I was close to the edge and I like your fighting style.
I hope we get to fight again.
You don't need to tell me. I'll beat you in a rematch soon.
Don't lose to anybody before I get to crush you!
All right. Thank you.
You're throwing me off.
This is delicious.
Yeah.
We won't lack of anything as long as we're on this island.
Oceans of money are put into this tournament.
I guess preparing fancy meals is nothing for them.
Well, I'll enjoy it for today.
Cos, eat a lot and get ready for the next match.
He's a totally different person from when he was fighting.
Ow, it hurts...
What?
You're being too dramatic.
It hurts where you hit me, Adam.
Are you okay, Cos? Will you go to the doctor's office?
Yeah. I'll go get some painkillers.
Seriously?
He got way too excited.
It's not something the person responsible for his injury should say.
Yeah!
KAOLAN WONGSAWAT FIGHTER
Hey, come on!
What do you mean my match is tomorrow, Kaolan?
SAW PAING YOROIZUKA REP. FIGHTER OF VILLAGE OF DAWN
How many times do I have to tell you?
Not all the first-round matches happen in one day.
Is that so?
Bummer! My body's already completely warmed up.
Then stay warmed up.
Your match is the first one tomorrow.
All right! Yeah!
Then, I'll eat a lot and prepare for tomorrow!
He's too enthusiastic as always.
But Saw Paing,
I'm going be the one who wins this tournament.
No one can stop me from winning.
My, this is such a lovely place. I wonder if it's Mr. Katahara's taste.
RINO KURAYOSHI CHAIRWOMAN OF GOLD PLEASURE GROUP
REI MIKAZUCHI, REP. FIGHTER OF GOLD PLEASURE GROUP
Oh, it seems like Rei's having fun.
You're so relaxed even before having your match, Rino.
TOMARI TOHGO PRESIDENT OF IWAMI HEAVY IND.
Well, well. It's you, Ms. Tohgo. Congratulations on your victory
-in the first round. -I take our victory for granted.
The right to designate the chairman of Kengan Association is going to be mine.
And you're going to be the chairman, right?
You're a hard worker, Tomari.
I admit your fighter is pretty high-level, too.
But our Muteba is a monster who is even stronger than him.
MUTEBA GIZENGA, REP. FIGHTER OF IWAMI HEAVY INDUSTRIES
I suppose today's match taught you that very well.
Hey, Rino!
Rei, I'll join you in a minute, okay?
You'd better pray that your boyfriend won't be killed in the next round.
You seem really sure about your winning. But no.
I'm not going to let anyone destroy Rei.
W-- What the hell do you think you are doing?
Your skill should only be used on guys.
Make eyes at men, not me.
Oh. That's not true, actually.
You know, I like women, too.
Ah, don't touch me!
Let's be friends, Tomari.
Get off me.
You're disgusting.
Aw, that's boring.
Mokichi is all healed up? That's great news.
ELENA ROBINSON SISTER OF MOKICHI
KARURA KURE, KURE FAMILY
Yeah. Thank you for worrying about him.
That was Raian's fault.
He's the Kure Family's black sheep.
I'm sorry, Elena.
Don't be. You don't need to say sorry, Karura.
Oh, yes! I'm glad Karura found someone her age in this tournament.
It seems they've hit it off already.
REICHI KURE, KURE FAMILY ERIO KURE, PATRIARCH
That's the younger sister of Mokichi Robinson.
She must be feeling bad for what Raian did.
What a sweetheart she is.
Girls should hang out with girls.
I shall kill any shit-bag that gets close to Karura.
Grandfather.
Is the shit-bag you're talking about...
OHMA TOKITA, REPRESENTATIVE FIGHTER OF YAMASHITA CORPORATION
Hey.
Done already?
You can still keep going, can't you, pops?
The Immeasurable, Gozo Murobuchi!
INDESTRUCTIBLE
He drops his guard for an instant when he does a jumping knee kick.
Now.
You're next, Yankee prick.
The Emperor, Adam Dudley!
An out-of-body experience.
It is image training while one's physical body is put to sleep.
Ever since he learned it from Niko Tokita 14 years ago,
Ohma has been using this out-of-body training method.
He sets an environment exactly like the real world,
makes copies of the fighters, and spars with them.
Repetitive learning during sleep affects the brain.
It's been scientifically proven.
Eight matches.
That's the average number of imaginary matches Ohma fights per rest.
Eight matches times 365 days, times 14 years.
Fighting over 40,000 imaginary matches
has enabled his brain to act without thinking.
REDIRECTION KATA: WEEPING WILLOW
I can't completely throw the trunk of his body off balance.
In that case, I'll just reverse his power.
The Redirection Kata: Entanglement.
And then...
ADAMANTINE KATA: IRONBREAKER
Good.
Wow, look who's gotten stronger.
What?
It seems you've been keeping up with your training.
I'm impressed.
But I can't give you full marks.
Your training means nothing if you have them as your opponents.
What is he doing here?
Look how much you've grown, Ohma.
I'm your next opponent.
What the hell are you doing here,
Niko?
Hey.
It's been so long, hasn't it?
NIKO TOKITA, OHMA'S MASTER OF NIKO STYLE
I thought I'd suppressed my consciousness so that he wouldn't show up.
It seems you've gotten better at the out-of-body experience I taught you.
You've set the same levels of fatigue, damage, and everything as in reality.
However, this training is not good enough for you.
What do you mean?
What do you think I mean?
I'm talking about these two you were playing with.
Gozo Murobuchi and Adam Dudley.
You only know a small fraction of their strategies.
You have too little information to draw out their true power.
Same for me.
I'm not quite the real Niko Tokita myself.
I'm just a phantom of Niko Tokita created by your memories.
Simply put, I'm like your inner voice.
That's why I don't use difficult words like the real Niko would do.
Because you're stupid.
So?
Did you come here just to tell me that?
Well, let's forget about the details.
The man who knows you best is right in front of you.
What better opponent could you ask for?
So, what are you going to do, runt?
Fine by me.
You want to get your ass kicked by your own Niko Style?
Get my ass kicked?
You shouldn't say out loud something you can't do.
You'll see if I can or cannot.
NIKO STYLE
ADAMANTINE & FLAME KATAS
FLASHING STEEL: BLAST
Your Flame Kata is passable.
But you're still as awful as ever at the Adamantine Kata.
Flashing Steel is a combination of two techniques,
Raging Fire of the Flame Kata and Indestructible of the Adamantine Kata.
Speaking of which,
didn't you use Flashing Steel against Jerry Tyson during the prelim?
You were lucky. Your opponent was weak.
Good grief.
ADAMANTINE & FLAME KATAS
FLASHING STEEL: SMASH
It's true that Flashing Steel is the Niko Style's fastest offensive move.
But its movement is very linear.
Hence...
that makes it predictable.
The Adamantine Kata technique, Iron Fingers.
It's originally for cutting the opponent deep to the quick
by hardening the finger joints with your muscles.
But if you use it this way, you can easily crush their bones.
Remember what I told you when you were a kid?
The application makes the technique.
You rely on big, flashy moves too much.
REDIRECTION KATA: WEEPING WILLOW
WATER KATA: BIND OF PISCES
Phew.
That was a close call.
But Weeping Willow's just a move to throw the opponent off balance.
Don't trust it too much.
The Water Kata is another one you were poor at, isn't it?
How many times do I have to tell you?
You know the true Niko Style only if you've mastered all four katas.
NIKO-STYLE DIAGRAM FLAME - REDIRECTION - WATER - ADAMANTINE
You rely way too much on Redirection and Flame Katas.
You're talking nonsense.
Oh. There we go.
You always resort to that whenever you're cornered.
That's so dull, you know.
Well, all right.
There are no limits in this world.
Take out the "Advance" as much as you like.
Fine.
You're talking too much.
It's time for you to go away.
Strange, isn't it?
You've sped up quite a bit, but I countered you so easily.
You trust the "Advance" way too much.
It increases your physical abilities, in exchange for your delicate motions.
That makes you unable to use some techniques of the Niko Style.
It's very effective against fighters like Ryo Inaba,
who's physically weaker than you.
But you're not meant to use it against someone like Jun Sekibayashi,
who's physically stronger than you. As a matter of fact,
you suffered heavy damage in the match against Sekibayashi.
That's not all.
It is certain that the "Advance" will kill you eventually.
-Son of a bitch. -Don't rely on the "Advance" too much.
Trust in my Niko Style.
Shut up!
Then why did you lose?
You got killed...
because you were weak!
KAEDE AKIYAMA KAZUO YAMASHITA
-Ohma? -Kazuo Yamashita.
Kaede Akiyama.
Are you all right?
Did you have a bad dream?
What are you doing, Kazuo Yamashita?
Oh, nothing.
Your sudden screaming just scared me.
Are you feeling okay? I can take you to the doctor's office.
Don't bother.
Ohma...
You're bleeding!
That's way too much for just a nosebleed.
Your internal organs might be damaged.
We really should go to the doctor's office, Ohma.
It's not that big of a deal, you guys.
My wounds just opened a little.
Ohma!
I'll go wash my face. Don't wait for me.
Ohma.
What the hell is this?
Could this be caused by the "Advance"?
Tch. It doesn't matter.
I just need to last long enough to kill that cocksucker...
Setsuna Kiryu.
That's all that matters to me.
Ladies and gentlemen!
Did too much excitement keep you awake last night?
KENGAN LIFE-OR-DEATH
Thank you for your patience.
Kengan matches.
That is an alternative form of war between companies.
They train for this day.
They live for this stage.
They fight with their true power and techniques.
Is it genuine violence?
Or is it a refined martial art?
The chosen ones are here to fight.
Surge your blood, break your body,
and go beyond human limit.
Then you'll get the right to create new history.
Who is the strongest?
This is the second day of Kengan Life-or-Death Tournament!
The first round of block C officially begins now.
Thanks for coming with me, Karura.
Don't mention it, Elena.
That's what friends do, you know?
I'm sorry to cause you so much trouble.
I'll be fine on my own now.
You can go watch the matches.
No, I'll stick with you. Ohma's not fighting today.
Who is Ohma?
He's the first man I've had a crush on.
Wow. That's amazing.
How about this, Elena?
Why don't we go see Ohma after checking on Mokichi?
-Sure. -Let's go.
Ohma is such an incredible man.
Ah. I'm sorry.
SETSUNA KIRYU
Are you okay?
Yes.
Good. Be careful.
I won't blame you if you just see him as your secret idol.
Hey, Karura.
He's so handsome, isn't he?
What kind of man is he?
I couldn't feel his presence.
I've never seen anyone like that.
Is he even alive?
I won't let anyone else have him.
Ohma Tokita is mine.
PREVIEW
Yelling, howling, yelling, howling.
Howling Fighting Spirit versus the Giant of the Sea of Japan.
Two men's pride crash on the shoreline.
This match is not a frame-up!
