    Let's go to the field
    of sea with the tailwind
[00:13] ---
    Raise the sails high up in the sky
[00:19] ---
    We're adventurers who
    have the same hearts
[00:32] ---
    Much faster and at full speed
[00:38] ---
    I will manage to catch any waves
[00:44] ---
    Go over the clouds and go under
    the rainbow, our world will be there
[00:56] ---
    Yahoo! Let's give a cheer and go!
[01:03] ---
    To far and away
[01:09] ---
    Yahoo! We will just stay on this road
    that leads to what's beyond this sea
[01:35] ---
    Tanimoto-san is Ragnarok's Hermit?!
[01:37] ---
    Yeah. I was surprised, too.
[01:40] ---
    It was all a plot to lure me into a trap.
[01:46] ---
    But how that kid fought on
    top of the bus was quite good.
[01:51] ---
    It's not often these days that you
    see a young man who's full of energy.
[02:12] ---
    Well, it was a good experience for you.
[02:13] ---
    There's nothing good about it!
[02:15] ---
    Ah...
[02:16] ---
    What's the matter?
[02:18] ---
    When I was fighting Hermit...
    I mean Tanimoto-kun,
[02:20] ---
    he asked me if my master was Sogetsu Ma.
[02:25] ---
    Master Ma, do you
    know anything about it?
[02:28] ---
    Uhm... Master Ma?
[02:32] ---
    Ken-chan, isn't it about
    time for your training?
[02:35] ---
    Ah, yes.
[02:38] ---
    "Ryozanpaku"
[02:46] ---
    Reo reo! [faster] Faster, Kenichi!
[02:50] ---
    I've never seen Master Ma
    look so grim like that before.
[02:53] ---
    Sogetsu Ma... I wonder who that is.
[02:56] ---
    I want to know, but judging from
    his look, I don't think he'll say.
[03:01] ---
    I imagine all my masters
    must have incredible pasts.
[03:04] ---
    I don't know anything about my masters.
[03:07] ---
    Being their disciple, is that really okay?
[03:11] ---
    "Confidential: Hitting on married women"
[03:13] ---
    Hm?
[03:14] ---
    Apapa!
[03:17] ---
    Kenichi! You have to pay attention!
[03:21] ---
    Master... You're holding
    the book up side down.
[03:23] ---
    Ah! O-Oh, yeah.
[03:26] ---
    This is strange.
    There's something going on.
[03:30] ---
    --But right now...
    --Ahh! Kenichi! Don't die!
[03:35] ---
    Boy, that was rough.
[03:37] ---
    Hm?
[03:41] ---
    Huh?
[03:43] ---
    Master Ma is going out this late at night?
[03:45] ---
    "Ryozanpaku"
[03:59] ---
    Given the circumstances,
    I started following him,
[04:02] ---
    but I've gone quite far.
[04:04] ---
    Oh no! I've lost him!
[04:06] ---
    Darn! After I've come this far...!
[04:09] ---
    Let's see...
[04:13] ---
    He found out I was tailing him.
[04:15] ---
    You call that tailing?
[04:17] ---
    I wondered why you were so quiet.
[04:21] ---
    But this is as far as you go, Ken-chan.
[04:24] ---
    Have some soba noodles
    or something and go home.
[04:25] ---
    Here, I'll give you spending money.
[04:27] ---
    Hm?
[04:29] ---
    I refuse!
[04:32] ---
    If you come with me this time,
    it might be a little dangerous.
[04:37] ---
    Do me a favor,
    just go home, my disciple.
[04:41] ---
    I refuse!
[04:42] ---
    If being a resident disciple means living
    under one roof and training together,
[04:45] ---
    I want to share my masters' concerns, too!
    I'll come with you, Master!
[04:48] ---
    I can't be responsible
    for whatever happens.
[04:50] ---
    I hope you're ready for this.
[04:52] ---
    Yes!
[04:53] ---
    Okay then. Come with me.
[04:55] ---
    Well, they say if you love your disciple,
    push him off into a bottomless abyss.
[04:59] ---
    If you die, you'll be
    none the worse for it.
[05:01] ---
    What? Please don't scare me like that!
[05:05] ---
    "Chinese Restaurant Gekirin"
[05:07] ---
    Oh, we'll eat first, huh?
[05:10] ---
    Oh... I was thinking that it's
    about time for you to stop by, Kensei.
[05:15] ---
    It's been a while, Uncle Hakubi.
[05:18] ---
    Who is he? One of
    your fellow baldy friends?
[05:21] ---
    Don't call me baldy.
[05:23] ---
    Hey. He's the most
    knowledgeable person in this town.
[05:26] ---
    Hakubi is his nickname. His real
    name is Ryo Ma. He's my uncle.
[05:30] ---
    What?!
[05:40] ---
    Whoa! What a feast!
[05:42] ---
    Enjoy to your heart's content.
[05:43] ---
    You're a nice person.
    I'm sorry that I called you baldy.
[05:46] ---
    Don't worry about it.
[05:47] ---
    Thanks for the food!
[05:49] ---
    --This is good. This is really good!
[05:51] ---
    --So Kensei...
    --This is good. This is really good!
[05:52] ---
    I can think of two possible
    reasons why you stopped by today.
[05:55] ---
    Did you come here to ask about Sogetsu?
[05:58] ---
    --Hm?
    --So he really has come to Japan?
[06:01] ---
    Yeah.
[06:02] ---
    Then I have to see him.
[06:05] ---
    Are you sure? If you do,
    there'll be consequences.
[06:08] ---
    Excuse me, but who's Sogetsu?
[06:10] ---
    Sogetsu Ma... is my older
    brother who I was separated from.
[06:13] ---
    Older brother... Your older brother?!
[06:15] ---
    Yeah. He's hopeless.
[06:18] ---
    Everywhere he goes, he starts a fight.
[06:21] ---
    As a result, he ended up
    being targeted by the mafia.
[06:24] ---
    --What?!
    --Sogetsu probably knows it, too...
[06:28] ---
    He's someone who can't help but fight.
[06:31] ---
    As it stands now, there'll be a
    meaningless fight in this town, too.
[06:35] ---
    Then I'd better hurry.
[06:37] ---
    Is it just your brother
    you're worried about?!
[06:39] ---
    Hm?
[06:40] ---
    Now, here comes
    the other possible reason.
[06:49] ---
    Whoa!
[06:50] ---
    Huh?!
[06:52] ---
    Tsk! I missed!
[06:55] ---
    I don't know who you are, but
    you've got a lot of natural talent.
[06:58] ---
    But if you want to kick me, you need
    to train at least several thousand yea...
[07:02] ---
    Oh no!
[07:04] ---
    Huh? What's going on?
[07:06] ---
    Are you that shocked to
    see your daughter, Daddy?
[07:10] ---
    What?! "Daddy"?!
[07:12] ---
    Daddy? Don't tell me
    he's your... sugar da--
[07:16] ---
    Idiot! Just like she said, she's my real
    daughter, Renka Ma, and she's 16!
[07:23] ---
    What?! She's really your daughter?!
[07:27] ---
    Come to think of it, I kinda
    remember hearing about it.
[07:30] ---
    He's got a wife and two
    more kids in mainland China.
[07:34] ---
    I came all the way to Japan as a
    foreign student in order to find you,
[07:37] ---
    and I finally found out that you come
    in and out of Uncle Hakubi's restaurant!
[07:43] ---
    I'm taking you home today for sure!
[07:46] ---
    Kensei, you're in a real bind!
[07:48] ---
    Give it up, you delinquent old man!
[07:51] ---
    Sorry.
[07:54] ---
    Not so fast!
[07:58] ---
    I'll leave the rest to you.
[08:00] ---
    --M-Master!
    --Hey, wait, dad!
[08:03] ---
    Master Ma!
[08:05] ---
    You're in my way. Move!
[08:06] ---
    What? Uhm... s-s-s-sorry. I'm sorry.
[08:08] ---
    Oh darn! We got tangled up!
[08:11] ---
    Uhm, what do you mean by
    taking Master Ma back to China?
[08:14] ---
    You don't know anything, do you?
[08:17] ---
    My dad is the chief executive of the
    Phoenix Virtuous Martial Arts League
[08:20] ---
    where he leads 100,000 pupils in China.
[08:24] ---
    No way...
[08:27] ---
    He said, "I'm tired of this stuff,"
[08:30] ---
    and disappeared somewhere after giving
    mom full authority over the Federation.
[08:34] ---
    Yeah, that sounds like him.
[08:35] ---
    But, first things first,
    who the heck are you?
[08:38] ---
    Why were you with my dad?
[08:40] ---
    What? Me?
[08:42] ---
    I'm Kenichi Shirahama.
    I'm a first year student in high school.
[08:45] ---
    I'm more or less his First Disciple.
[08:48] ---
    I see...
[08:52] ---
    Hey, you should've dodged or parried that!
[08:55] ---
    Ahh! This is pathetic!
[08:57] ---
    Dad was said to have mastered
    each and every Chinese martial art.
[09:00] ---
    To think that his First Disciple
    has no talent whatsoever!
[09:04] ---
    Uhm... I'm sorry.
[09:06] ---
    Huh?
[09:07] ---
    Oh, you're already up.
[09:09] ---
    You sure are good at taking a beating.
[09:12] ---
    Thanks. Master often
    praises me for that, too.
[09:15] ---
    He says that I have
    talent for being beaten up.
[09:17] ---
    That's not a compliment!
[09:20] ---
    You're such a violent girl! That's mean!
[09:22] ---
    So where is he headed?
[09:25] ---
    How would I know?
    Don't you have some idea?
[09:28] ---
    If I did, I wouldn't have been
    on a stakeout in this town. Geez...
[09:35] ---
    I see many scary-looking guys around.
[09:39] ---
    Those're the underlings of
    the mafia that controls this town.
[09:42] ---
    Then wouldn't it be wise not
    to get involved and head back?
[09:45] ---
    I came here because
    I wanna ask them something.
[09:48] ---
    Ask them what?
[09:50] ---
    Uncle Sogetsu Ma's whereabouts.
[09:51] ---
    Wait a sec! I thought we
    were gonna look for Master Ma!
[09:54] ---
    You're so dense.
[09:55] ---
    Dad is looking for Uncle Sogetsu,
    so we'll go ahead of him and wait.
[09:59] ---
    Uhm... how did Sogetsu-san
    end up being targeted by mafia?
[10:05] ---
    Because he betrayed them.
[10:07] ---
    So it's really okay to kill him?
[10:10] ---
    That's fine. We'll be destroyed
    unless we eliminate him.
[10:13] ---
    Just like the enemy organization
    that you had Sogetsu Ma destroy?
[10:19] ---
    But is he really going to show up?
[10:23] ---
    He believes that there's no
    one who's stronger than he is.
[10:26] ---
    He'll come without fail when he
    hears that the strongest man is here.
[10:29] ---
    Well then, I'll have to
    welcome him with caution.
[10:32] ---
    Sogetsu... I'll teach you
    what happens to a man
[10:35] ---
    who forgets his debt and strikes
    out at the one that took him in.
[10:42] ---
    Let's not do this.
[10:44] ---
    We don't have any other clues, so...
[10:47] ---
    What?! He showed up?!
    Okay. I'll be right there!
[10:50] ---
    Hey! Where is Sogetsu Ma?!
[10:52] ---
    Who the hell are you?!
[10:53] ---
    Answer me. Where is he?
[11:02] ---
    Yao dai jian... That was close.
[11:05] ---
    Kenichi, was it?
[11:07] ---
    That technique isn't
    Chinese martial arts, is it...
[11:09] ---
    Right. It's Japanese jujitsu.
[11:11] ---
    Jujitsu?
[11:12] ---
    Yes. Aside from the Chinese
    martial arts Master Ma teaches me,
[11:16] ---
    I'm learning karate,
    jujitsu and Muay Thai boxin--
[11:18] ---
    Focus on one thing at a
    time, you wishy-washy man!
[11:21] ---
    --Don't learn Chinese martial arts
    in your spare time! How rude!
    --Forgive me!
[11:27] ---
    Oh, pardon me.
[11:29] ---
    --Ow, ow, ow!
    --What a weird pick pocket,
    putting something inside my jacket.
[11:33] ---
    Just as you'd expect from
    Kensei Ma. Sorry for testing you.
[11:37] ---
    This is a message from Hakubi.
[11:38] ---
    From now on, just give
    it to me the normal way.
[11:40] ---
    I almost struck you.
[11:42] ---
    S-Sorry.
[11:44] ---
    Hmm... Just as you'd
    expect from Uncle Hakubi.
[11:47] ---
    So my brother is at this place.
[11:48] ---
    So you're here.
[11:50] ---
    You skipped out on the picnic
    that we promised the girls we'd go to.
[11:54] ---
    I know you wanted to train, but you
    do it more than enough every day.
[11:58] ---
    Geez, considerate
    younger brother that I am,
[12:01] ---
    I thought I'd teach you some fun things
    other than martial arts and drinking.
[12:05] ---
    I'm not very good at socializing.
[12:08] ---
    Especially with women,
    they're so noisy that it's just overpowering.
[12:11] ---
    How can they overpower you
    when you've got that big body?
[12:14] ---
    Hmph. Everyone has
    strengths and weaknesses.
[12:17] ---
    By the way, you didn't kill anyone, right?
[12:20] ---
    No... I think.
[12:23] ---
    You think? Be careful. I feel
    blood-thirst in your fists these days.
[12:27] ---
    Martial arts is all about how
    effectively you destroy your opponent.
[12:31] ---
    When you get down to it, the intent
    to kill is indeed the driving force.
[12:34] ---
    Big Brother...
[12:38] ---
    I wonder why Master Ma and Sogetsu-san
    were separated when they're brothers.
[12:44] ---
    Uncle Sogetsu killed someone twenty
    years ago, so he couldn't stay in China.
[12:49] ---
    He... killed someone?!
[12:56] ---
    So that's where he is.
[12:57] ---
    How far are you gonna follow me?
[12:59] ---
    From here on out will be the
    world of virtuous martial arts,
[13:02] ---
    which is totally different
    from the world you live in.
[13:04] ---
    Even if you come, you'll
    be of no use whatsoever.
[13:07] ---
    And if things go wrong, you could die.
[13:09] ---
    You're gonna go even
    if I try to stop you, right?
[13:12] ---
    Of course!
[13:13] ---
    Then I'll go, too. I can't let a girl go
    to such a dangerous place alone!
[13:19] ---
    What's with this man?
[13:21] ---
    Stop talking like a hero!
[13:23] ---
    --I'm saying that you'll just be
    in my way even if you come!
[13:24] ---
    --S-Stop kicking me!
    --I'm saying that you'll just be
    in my way even if you come!
[13:26] ---
    Dad sure is training a weird disciple.
[13:30] ---
    Well, if you wanna come
    with me that bad, you can come,
[13:33] ---
    but there's no guarantee
    that you'll get out of this alive.
[13:35] ---
    Master Ma's older brother,
    Sogetsu Ma-san is inside, right?
[13:38] ---
    He's your uncle, too.
[13:40] ---
    If we talk to him, he might understand.
[13:41] ---
    Yeah, yeah.
[13:43] ---
    See, like that. Be gentle. Fighting isn't
    the only way to solve problems.
[13:51] ---
    I asked you to be gentle, didn't I?!
[13:53] ---
    Oh, I am being gentle...
    I left them all alive.
[13:57] ---
    What?!
[13:57] ---
    Unfortunately, Uncle Sogetsu has to die.
[14:01] ---
    He was a bodyguard to the mafia.
    He's a disgrace to the Ma Family.
[14:06] ---
    W-Wait, Renka-san!
[14:10] ---
    Hey, wait a s--
[14:12] ---
    Dodge!
[14:18] ---
    Ouch...! What was that?!
[14:21] ---
    I don't know.
[14:23] ---
    Hmph.
[14:25] ---
    I heard that he was a master of
    Wing Tsun. That was disappointing.
[15:03] ---
    Sogetsu Ma!
[15:05] ---
    You're a disgrace to our school!
[15:11] ---
    That glitter of your eyes... That spirit...
    You're very much like a man I know.
[15:17] ---
    Stop it! She's the daughter
    of Master Kensei Ma!
[15:20] ---
    She's your niece!
[15:22] ---
    I see. No wonder...
[15:24] ---
    But kid or not, anyone who turns
    their fists against me is a martial artist.
[15:28] ---
    In addition... I don't have kin!
[15:36] ---
    Huh?
[15:46] ---
    "Ryozanpaku"
[15:47] ---
    Kenichi-san isn't back?
[15:49] ---
    That's right! I'm upset!
[15:51] ---
    He promised that
    he'd play a game with me.
[15:53] ---
    Kenichi went out
    somewhere with... Kensei.
[15:57] ---
    What? With Ma-san?
[15:58] ---
    He was probably taken to
    someplace naughty, don't you think?
[16:09] ---
    Big Brother... You're still living like this...
[16:12] ---
    Kensei... To think that I would see
    you here... It was worth coming back.
[16:17] ---
    Are you okay?!
[16:19] ---
    Ken-chan!
[16:20] ---
    Take Renka and get out of here.
[16:22] ---
    What?! No way! Master Ma!
[16:24] ---
    Kensei, is he your disciple?
[16:28] ---
    Hmph. As always,
    I don't get what you're thinking.
[16:32] ---
    To think that you devote your heart
    and soul into such an untalented man.
[16:35] ---
    Th-That's rude!
[16:39] ---
    It's unfortunate that you still
    don't get it, even after twenty years.
[16:44] ---
    We really can't go back, Big Brother...
    to the days we used to laugh together?
[16:48] ---
    Hmph. It's too late.
[16:52] ---
    Then at least I'll finish
    you with my own hands,
[16:53] ---
    so that you can die as a martial artist!
[16:57] ---
    Don't flatter yourself, Kensei!
[16:59] ---
    That palm-and-fist salute is...!
[17:01] ---
    Normally, in the palm-and-fist salute,
    you wrap your right fist with your left hand.
[17:04] ---
    But when you wrap your left
    fist with your right hand,
[17:08] ---
    it's the sign of a duel to the death!
[17:11] ---
    Master Ma! No!
    Brothers shouldn't kill each other!
[17:21] ---
    What powerful thrusts!
[17:33] ---
    This is... a fight between masters.
[17:37] ---
    At that time, I felt that watching the fight
    to the end was my duty as his disciple.
[17:56] ---
    Heavenly King's Pagoda!
[18:01] ---
    Hmph! As usual,
    you're great at dispelling attacks.
[18:05] ---
    You've parried all my attacks.
[18:07] ---
    The strength of your fists
    hasn't weakened a bit either.
[18:10] ---
    It seems that we both have been
    honing our techniques all this time.
[18:13] ---
    Where did that earnest spirit
    towards martial arts get twisted?
[18:17] ---
    Shut up!
[18:18] ---
    Sogetsu the Tough and Kensei the Gentle.
[18:21] ---
    They were both called the
    strongest fist fighters in China.
[18:24] ---
    Incredible... They're evenly matched!
[18:28] ---
    Disappear, Sogetsu Ma.
[18:31] ---
    --Do it!
    --Yes sir!
[18:36] ---
    What's going on?!
[18:39] ---
    I found an opening!
[18:43] ---
    Dammit!
[18:49] ---
    Master Ma... lost.
[18:52] ---
    Martial arts are a weapon to
    destroy your opponent effectively.
[18:56] ---
    They're pure power.
[19:03] ---
    However, the weapon doesn't kill people.
[19:05] ---
    The person who uses the
    weapon is the one who kills.
[19:08] ---
    Big Brother, you were
    overpowered by your strength.
[19:12] ---
    How did you improve
    your skills this much?
[19:16] ---
    I have friends... strong friends...
[19:19] ---
    ...friends that train hard together.
[19:22] ---
    You've been training all by yourself.
    That's the difference!
[19:25] ---
    Friends?
[19:28] ---
    Master Ma! We have to
    get out of here right away!
[19:30] ---
    Dad!
[19:32] ---
    As usual, everyone is on your side, huh?
[19:36] ---
    We had the same ability, but I was
    feared and you were liked by everyone.
[19:44] ---
    I left China not because I killed someone...
[19:48] ---
    ...but because there was no
    place for me there from the start.
[19:53] ---
    Big Brother...
[19:56] ---
    This is bad! The flames are spreading!
[19:59] ---
    Go... my little brother.
[20:10] ---
    Let's go, both of you.
[20:16] ---
    What?! Are you gonna
    leave your brother here?!
[20:19] ---
    If we get closer to him,
    he'll take his own life.
[20:22] ---
    I want to at least let my big
    brother die as a martial artist.
[20:25] ---
    No... Is this how the world
    of virtuous martial arts is?
[20:28] ---
    Hurry up!
[20:39] ---
    This is how a killer ends up.
[20:51] ---
    I can't allow such
    a farewell between brothers!
[20:57] ---
    He's so reckless!
[20:59] ---
    Now, hurry up!
[21:00] ---
    Wh-Why?
[21:01] ---
    A disciple can never watch his
    master die without doing anything!
[21:06] ---
    I don't have any disciple.
[21:08] ---
    Yes, you do!
[21:09] ---
    I've fought your disciple!
[21:13] ---
    Oh, him...
[21:15] ---
    He had the same eyes as mine.
[21:18] ---
    He called you his master!
[21:24] ---
    Seriously, Kensei has a weird disciple.
[21:43] ---
    I heard that they didn't find Sogetsu-san's
    body from the remains of the fire.
[21:48] ---
    Master Ma never spoke a word
    until we got back to Ryozanpaku.
[21:54] ---
    But right before he went back to his room,
    he quietly said "thanks" to me.
[22:03] ---
    Hm?
[22:04] ---
    It seems that he isn't at his best yet,
[22:06] ---
    but he is going back to his normal self.
[22:10] ---
    Ah! We shook off Renka-san,
    but was it really okay?!
[22:15] ---
    That's fine. This is where I belong.
[22:18] ---
    I'm sure she'll understand.
[22:22] ---
    He got away again!
[22:24] ---
    That darn delinquent old man!
[22:26] ---
    When I see him next time, I'll take
    him home even if I have to leash him!
[22:29] ---
    Hey, sweep the floor.
[22:32] ---
    While I'm at it, I might want to
    take that Kenichi guy back with us.
[22:48] ---
    Knock it down with a high speed
[22:51] ---
    Open a new path, run through it
    with the brand new days in your hand
[23:04] ---
    Don't look back, get a chance
[23:07] ---
    There is no choice but
    to go on step by step
[23:10] ---
    Turn the pain into strength
[23:16] ---
    Don't be afraid! Let's start from here
[23:23] ---
    Go all out! You don't need a goal
[23:31] ---
    With the passionate soul that
    soars through the sky, yeah, yeah
[23:37] ---
    Come on, dance!
    Being ordinary isn't enough
[23:43] ---
    Unlock your dream!
    It sure will be a bright tomorrow
[23:50] ---
    That's right! Let it all
    hang out until you reach there
[24:05] ---
    Ah... Ahhhhh...
[24:07] ---
    What's wrong, Kenichi-san?
[24:08] ---
    I-I-I got a letter in my shoe locker.
[24:10] ---
    Could this be... a love letter?
[24:14] ---
    You're popular.
[24:16] ---
    No, Miu-san! I'm not
    interested in letters like this at all!
[24:20] ---
    I don't want to be in your way,
    so I'm going on ahead.
[24:23] ---
    Oh? Miu-san?! Please wait!
[24:26] ---
    I've got a problem.
[24:28] ---
    But I wonder who sent that letter.
[24:36] ---
