Although we're all very worried about Mokichi's condition,
the fourth game is starting soon!
SAYAKA KATAHARA DAUGHTER OF METSUDO KATAHARA
RESERVED FOR OHMA TOKITA YAMASHITA CORPORATION
You look pretty good in the shorts I gave you.
OHMA TOKITA FIGHTER, YAMASHITA CORPORATION
You'll be called soon, Ohma.
KAEDE AKIYAMA CHAIRMAN'S SECRETARY, NOGI GROUP
-Okay, I'm off now. -Um... Ohma.
KAZUO YAMASHITA PRESIDENT, YAMASHITA CORP.
I know I shouldn't be saying this to you right before your match,
but if you ever feel your life is in danger, you must withdraw from the game.
Your life... is much more important to me than money.
Kazuo Yamashita.
-Stop interfering. -You think I'm interfering?
-I'm just worried about-- -I won't lose.
Think about how you're going to reward me when I win.
SUKIZO URITA PRESIDENT, PENASONIC CORPORATION
It's been a while since I've seen you walk on two legs.
Inaba.
I badly want to win this tournament.
-I'm counting on you. -Got it!
RYO INABA FIGHTER, PENASONIC CORPORATION
Well, we'd better get going, too.
Hi, Mr. Yamashita.
You're, um... Mr. Urita, the president of Penasonic Corporation.
-Is there something I can do for you? -I have a proposal.
How about a bet, just between the two of us?
Did you say... a bet?
Private betting between individuals is not one of the prohibited activities.
She's right.
I just thought we could have a little fun.
-Hmm. -I'll bet...
ten TVs from our company.
-Ten TVs! -That sounds great!
To be honest, I've been wanting to get a Penasonic TV.
Has he been waiting for this opportunity?
Okay, Mr. Yamashita.
Then, what are you prepared to bet in return?
Let me see...
If I lose, I'll give you the equivalent to what the TVs are worth.
-What do you say? -That's fine. It's a bet.
I proposed the bet to see the caliber of the man.
I didn't expect him to accept it so easily.
-That was very stupid. -It's not a problem.
It's only ten TVs. It's peanuts compared to what I already owe.
He was using Kengan Association code words.
When someone offers a product from "our company",
they mean shares in that company.
Shares?
And the number means the percentage. Which means...
you've just accepted a high stakes gamble betting ten percent of Penasonic's shares.
What? No!
Penasonic Corporation is the biggest electronics company in Japan,
and he's betting ten percent of their shares?
By the way, based on Penasonic Corporation's current stock price,
the amount you'd pay if you lose is about...
Two hundred and eighty billion yen.
ASHURA
Let us present the man who is going to whip up a storm in the kengan field.
He was the driving force behind this tournament.
GAME FOUR
He's finally making his grand entrance.
His background is completely unknown.
This mysterious new fighter promises to be a sensation in the tournament.
Standing 182 cm tall and weighing 85 kg,
his kengan match record is two wins and no losses.
He has acquired total assets of 154 billion, 230 million yen.
Representing Yamashita Corporation, also known as "The Ashura,"
Ohma Tokita!
SETSUNA KIRYU FIGHTER, KOUOU EDUCATION GROUP
Ohma, my love!
You look perfectly prepared. I want you so much right now!
TOMOKO MATSUDA CHAIRWOMAN'S SECRETARY, KOUOU EDU.
He's a menacing assassin monster.
His appearance has been much-anticipated.
Penasonic Corporation, unbeaten in six years,
has sent a new thug to the tournament.
His only desire is to be the champion.
Standing 155 cm tall and weighing 62 kg,
he makes his kengan match debut today.
Representing Penasonic Corporation, also known as "The Black Phantom,"
Ryo Inaba!
Huh?
No!
KEIZABURO SAWADA FIGHTER, MURDER MUSIC
He's so creepy looking. He's definitely not my type.
What would you do if he were?
YOSHIKO TOGAWA PRESIDENT, MURDER MUSIC
He's small.
But that means nothing.
I know what he is, the way I always know.
Not by anything cheap like logic, but by intuition...
This jerk is strong.
Take your stance!
Fight!
This is a fierce exchange of blows!
It's been an even match so far.
No, she's wrong.
Ohma is superior.
This is his chance!
Go Ohma!
His movement is...
Shit!
Look! Inaba's moves have changed.
Inaba's tactics seem to be working effectively.
With a hit-and-retreat strategy,
he's trying to slowly but surely wear Ohma out.
Okay, keep going.
Ohma looks frustrated at not getting a chance to attack.
He can't seem to hide his irritation.
COSMO IMAI & AKIRA NISHIHONJI NISHIHONJI SECURITY SERVICES
That's a unique technique in the Inaba Style, called Edging.
Have you seen it before, Akira?
Yeah, it looks similar to shuffling,
but what makes it unique is that they move only by using their toes.
Whoa! Ohma hit him!
I see.
Ohma was measuring intervals by clicking his tongue.
Inaba tried to confuse Ohma by changing the length and speed of his steps.
But unfortunately for you, your opponent isn't so easy to fool, Inaba.
Your style won't work against the Niko Style.
NIKO STYLE - FLAME KATA: FLASHFIRE!
You might want to try a different trick now.
That won't work anymore.
Oh, you're going back to what you used to be like,
my darling Ohma Tokita.
Great! Ohma's got his momentum back.
What's wrong, kombu boy?
Is the sideshow over?
Got him!
Whoa, what's happening over there?
Why did he stop?
What? It's his hair!
Inaba's hair is wrapped around Ohma's leg!
It's "Spider's Hair", in the Inaba Style.
This is your first experience fighting hair, isn't it?
Ohma Tokita.
Time to switch offense and defense.
Oh, gosh! He's so cute!
Switch what?
I have no desire at all to shift to defense.
Were you going to tear my hair out?
It's impossible.
His hair has thrown Tokita into the air!
NIKO STYLE - ADAMANTINE KATA: INDESTRUCTIBLE
I knew the Adamantine Kata wasn't my thing.
I didn't tighten my muscles enough.
I'm going to punish you.
That hair is no ordinary hair.
It's a chain!
Hair is the strongest part of the human body.
The load-bearing capacity of a single hair is about 150 grams.
A person has 100,000 hairs on average.
Theoretically, that means a person's hair can hold 15 tons.
The Inaba Family pass all their secrets on to a single child.
From childhood, he strengthens his hair by rubbing a wondrous ointment into it.
The enhanced hair becomes steel wire when twined, and can be used as a whip.
It's literally their one and only weapon.
Yeah, all right.
NIKO STYLE - FLAME KATA: RAGING FIRE!!
Were you hoping to achieve something when you entered my space?
That isn't possible.
And this too is impossible!
He keeps whipping!
Ohma is having a difficult time coping with the hair whipping.
It seems our bet is going to result in a victory for me, Mr. Yamashita.
Is he grinning?
What's making him so relaxed?
If I lose, I'll be the king of debt.
No!
He can't breathe.
Now you understand, Ohma Tokita.
When it comes to pure power, you are stronger than Inaba.
But...
Inaba will have you beaten before you have had a chance to use your power.
He is the epitome of what it is to be an assassin!
Ohma... why aren't you using "that"?
I feel like my body is being ripped apart.
This little runt.
He's quite something.
You passed!
I recognize your talent, Ryo Inaba.
Listen, Ohma.
NIKO TOKITA OHMA'S MASTER OF NIKO STYLE
When you fight, you should finish it quickly.
It's simply the easiest way.
Niko.
As I thought, you and I differ on many things.
It's not fun for me at all if I finish it quickly!
I have to thank you, Ryo Inaba.
It's been ages since I've been this excited.
Come on!
I'll make you excited, too!
That's what I want.
HEART, STOMACH, LIVER, PANCREAS
While losing consciousness,
Inaba experiences a strange sensation.
It's the opposite of the steely feeling he gets while assassinating.
It's more like a burning feeling.
By training tirelessly and fighting through hell,
he's devoted his whole life to acquiring his skills and power.
None of them will work now.
INABA STYLE: SOMERSAULT KICK
He's incredibly strong.
Darn it.
NIKO STYLE - REDIRECTION & FLAME KATAS
WILL-O'-THE-WISP
No...
No, Inaba.
What happened?
I had no chance against him.
But actually, it's... not so bad.
Did you have fun?
Ryo Inaba.
The game is over.
The winner is Ohma Tokita.
If you want to fight me again, come and see me anytime.
Welcome back.
These ten years have felt so long to me.
You've finally come back!
That day...
you threw me into the depths of despair.
But this time, finally...
I won't let anyone get in my way.
Ohma Tokita.
So, Dad's pawn won.
KENZO YAMASHITA, KAZUO'S ELDEST SON AND THE REAL PRESIDENT OF UNDER MOUNT INC
Which means...
YAMASHITA CORPORATION
RAIAN KURE, UNDER MOUNT INC
Ohma.
At this rate, we're going to win the second stage, too.
Okay.
Congratulations, Mr. Yamashita.
Oh, Mr. Urita.
I never even dreamed... that we would fall in the first round.
Who's this?
He's Mr. Urita, Ryo Inaba's employer.
I have this to give to you, as promised.
Oh, that's right!
I was so excited about Ohma's victory that I forgot all about it.
I succeeded in obtaining a ten percent share in Penasonic Corporation.
We don't want that.
I don't know what you've got there,
but we don't care about anything like that.
What do you mean?
Ryo Inaba and I didn't fight for stuff like that.
We wanted to know who was stronger. That was all.
Don't bring that shit into our fight.
What on earth is he saying?
It's not just me.
I know this guy thinks the same.
How did you come to that conclusion?
Mr. Yamashita. You really are a great man.
How could he believe that either?
In this mood, I don't even know how I feel about this.
But you should respect the result of the bet.
I beg you to take this.
Well, I'm not sure what you are talking about.
I don't remember making a bet with you.
There wasn't any bet between us in the first place.
We have to respect the will of the fighters who shed their blood, right?
Now... we're off.
You have defeated me utterly, Kazuo Yamashita.
What a broad-minded man.
I am so stupid!
That was my big chance to clear my debt.
Hey, Kazuo Yamashita.
Thanks.
Okay, I know.
I can't go against him.
Inaba was...
my best friend.
I was well aware that his family, the Inaba, were a clan of assassins
which had served my family, the Urita, for generations.
Setting that fact aside,
I believed our friendship would last forever.
What?
What do you mean?
My dad failed in his mission and died.
I became the head of the Inaba Family yesterday. And so...
as of today, you are my boss.
I obey you, Urita.
If you command it...
I will kill anyone.
Don't...
Don't insult me! You kombu head!
Kombu?
I've never thought of you as my subordinate
or, needless to say, as a murderer!
For so long, you've been my best friend.
Don't say things like that to me ever again, please.
I'm begging you.
Urita...
Sorry.
Where am I?
You're in the medical suite in the Kengan Dome.
Oh, right... I lost.
Don't worry. We'll get another chance.
Huh? What's happened to you, Urita?
You look oddly happy.
Yeah, I was just remembering the old days.
Yeah? What a coincidence.
I was also dreaming of the old days.
PREVIEW
Off-field brawls are also welcome!

A totally wacky beast.
