[00:09] ---
    I always found an excuse
[00:14] ---
    so I didn't have to deal
    with what I didn't like
[00:17] ---
    It's quite meaningless, isn't it?
[00:27] ---
    No matter what kind of master they are
[00:32] ---
    they didn't become
    masters just in one day
[00:36] ---
    Embrace the ideal image in the heart
[00:40] ---
    Without saying meaningless things
[00:45] ---
    Without looking aside
[00:48] ---
    But if I feel like bursting
    into tears, giving it up
[00:53] ---
    and losing to my own weakness
[00:58] ---
    I put myself in a bird cage
[01:02] ---
    and push it into the valley
[01:06] ---
    For those who believe in me more
    than anyone else and for my belief
[01:15] ---
    I can be strong
[01:18] ---
    I just have to stick to it
[01:32] ---
    I knew I was beginning to realize it.
[01:34] ---
    My stepping move turns
    into an offensive move!
[01:39] ---
    I... I... I don't want
    to quit the karate club!
[01:46] ---
    As a reward for your victory,
    let me give you a piece of information.
[01:49] ---
    That guy who refereed today,
    Tsukuba-senpai,
[01:52] ---
    was getting all fired up saying that
    he wanted to test your skill or something.
[01:56] ---
    Wh-What? What did you say?
[01:59] ---
    Wh-What am I going to do?
[02:06] ---
    I've been wondering about
    this for a long time.
[02:08] ---
    Huh?
[02:09] ---
    You think Furinji is, you know...
[02:12] ---
    Huh?
[02:13] ---
    Super cute or what?
[02:16] ---
    What? You noticed that, too?
[02:18] ---
    I thought that was
    my own little secret!
[02:21] ---
    I-Idiot! To hell with your secret!
[02:23] ---
    Huh?
[02:24] ---
    But, you know,
    Furinji sure is hard to approach.
[02:28] ---
    It's like she lives in a totally
    different world or something.
[02:31] ---
    Come to think of it,
    it seems like she has no friends.
[02:34] ---
    Look, she's going
    to talk to someone.
[02:36] ---
    Wh-What the...
[02:38] ---
    Hello?
[02:41] ---
    That's Coward Ken!
[02:43] ---
    I joined the rhythmic gymnastics club!
[02:46] ---
    So, what club did you join after
    quitting the karate club, Kenichi-san?
[02:51] ---
    The judo club?
    Or the kendo club?
[02:54] ---
    The... The... The gardening club.
[03:00] ---
    Th-The gardening club, huh?
[03:02] ---
    So it's not a martial arts club
    or anything like that, huh...
[03:08] ---
    Kenichi-san? Yoohoo!
[03:10] ---
    And after that, Kenichi-kun spent
    his days watering the flowers
[03:15] ---
    and lived happily ever after. The end!
[03:19] ---
    Those eyes! Kenichi-san...
[03:22] ---
    I'd better go water the flowers...
[03:25] ---
    Kenichi-san! Class is about to start!
[03:28] ---
    What on earth has happened to you?
[03:29] ---
    Let me answer that.
[03:31] ---
    Um...
[03:33] ---
    It's a pleasure to meet you.
[03:34] ---
    I am Kenichi's best friend,
    Haruo Niijima.
[03:39] ---
    Kenichi-san's friend?
[03:42] ---
    Niijima, his "best" friend. A friend
    of my best friend is a friend of mine.
[03:49] ---
    You can call me Miu.
[03:51] ---
    What?
[03:52] ---
    They've become friends
    just like that?
[03:56] ---
    Well, the chime is ringing.
[03:59] ---
    I am a student from another class,
[04:01] ---
    so perhaps we may have time
    to chat some more during gym class,
[04:03] ---
    which is coming up next.
[04:04] ---
    If you'll excuse me...
[04:05] ---
    Okay!
[04:13] ---
    Uh, the number of electrons
    of this atom is...
[04:18] ---
    Uh, Tsukuba, you're in class now.
    Let's not be making any noise.
[04:23] ---
    D-Don't make a racket
    with those walnuts.
[04:27] ---
    Tsu... ku... ba...
[04:35] ---
    Uh, I just wanted you to understand.
[04:37] ---
    That's all.
    I just wanted you to understand.
[04:39] ---
    And so the atom...
[04:42] ---
    And as I was saying, the atom...
[04:46] ---
    Kenichi Shirahama, huh?
[04:48] ---
    A little kid who shows no sign of talent,
    no matter how you look at it...
[04:52] ---
    Is it possible for him to learn how
    to fight like that in a mere week?
[04:57] ---
    Was he just pretending to be
    a weakling all this time,
[05:00] ---
    or was it all a fluke?
[05:03] ---
    Either way I'm going
    to have to find out.
[05:08] ---
    The sub-captain of the karate club?
[05:10] ---
    He was the one that
    refereed that last fight.
[05:13] ---
    Apparently he's been
    really curious about Kenichi
[05:16] ---
    and saying that he'd like to
    test him in the near future.
[05:19] ---
    "Test him"?
[05:21] ---
    I'm talking about a fight, of course.
[05:23] ---
    Oh. If that's all it is,
[05:25] ---
    Kenichi-san just has to
    beat him up and be done with it.
[05:28] ---
    You're pretty feisty,
    aren't you, Miu-chan!
[05:30] ---
    But I don't think
    it'll be as simple as that.
[05:33] ---
    This Tsukuba guy is...
[05:34] ---
    What? Tsukuba?
[05:36] ---
    Tsukuba-senpai
[05:37] ---
    is the guy who always practices
    against two people at the same time.
[05:40] ---
    And, and, he can take a rock
    and split it with his bare hands!
[05:45] ---
    And he can break
    a baseball bat with his foot.
[05:49] ---
    Oh...
[05:51] ---
    I see. So he must have a black belt.
[05:54] ---
    It might be a bit too much
    for Kenichi-san the way he is now.
[05:56] ---
    Setting it aside, I want
    to learn more about you.
[06:00] ---
    What are your measurements?
    Do you have a boyfriend?
[06:08] ---
    Why do people come
    around behind me
[06:09] ---
    when they know they're
    going to be thrown?
[06:11] ---
    Are you okay? Hello? Hello?
[06:14] ---
    Wh-When is he going to come after me?
[06:17] ---
    Will it be today, or will it
    be tomorrow? I'm in trouble.
[06:20] ---
    I'm in serious trouble this time!
[06:28] ---
    You have the look of a loser.
[06:31] ---
    Wh-What are you talking about?
[06:33] ---
    You have the look of someone who was
    guided towards a victory in a fight,
[06:36] ---
    but now feels that this has
    brought on bigger problems.
[06:39] ---
    Can this man actually read my mind?
[06:43] ---
    Not to worry.
[06:44] ---
    There's only one effective medicine
    for those kinds of worries.
[06:47] ---
    Let's begin training!
[06:53] ---
    Koetsuji-sensei!
[06:55] ---
    Hmm?
[06:56] ---
    Isn't there some more effective way
    of training that can be done faster?
[07:00] ---
    There is.
[07:01] ---
    All right! Well, I really
    don't have much time.
[07:03] ---
    I would really appreciate it if
    you would teach me that method.
[07:06] ---
    The trick is to run faster!
[07:08] ---
    What?
[07:08] ---
    "Geh?"
[07:10] ---
    I'm not a horse!
[07:12] ---
    You're the one who asked for this!
[07:14] ---
    Just shut up and run!
[07:16] ---
    I should've kept my mouth shut!
[07:20] ---
    Now, nice and slowly
    in a low medium stance.
[07:23] ---
    --Very... Good... Very... Good...
    --Very... Good... Very... Good...
[07:27] ---
    The base of martial arts
    is the feet and legs.
[07:29] ---
    Those with weak legs
    aren't good at anything.
[07:32] ---
    Uh, how many more steps
    am I supposed to take?
[07:35] ---
    Only 9,565 steps or so.
[07:38] ---
    What?
[07:39] ---
    You're with Apachai next!
[07:41] ---
    Apa!
[07:42] ---
    Apa! Apa! Apa! Apa! Apapapapapapa!
[07:50] ---
    Kenichi! Sorry to keep you waiting.
[07:52] ---
    I'm done with my warm-ups.
    How about a little sparring?
[07:56] ---
    Apa?
[07:57] ---
    Apapapapa! I think I'll pass on it!
[08:00] ---
    Kenichi-san...
[08:02] ---
    Hey, you.
[08:03] ---
    You secretly showed him
    a technique, didn't you?
[08:06] ---
    Uh, how did you know, Sakaki-san?
[08:08] ---
    Come on. Everybody knows.
[08:11] ---
    I bet he won against a guy in the same
    grade in his karate club, right?
[08:15] ---
    Well...
[08:17] ---
    I'm sure your only focus
[08:18] ---
    was to defeat the bully from
    the karate club when you did it,
[08:22] ---
    but the real problem is what happens
    after he defeats that bully.
[08:26] ---
    I bet some even stronger guy
    has taken notice of him, hasn't he?
[08:30] ---
    I'm right again, eh?
[08:32] ---
    Well, I don't take on disciples,
    so it doesn't really concern me,
[08:36] ---
    but those guys knew that
    this kind of thing would happen,
[08:38] ---
    so they intentionally chose not
    to teach him any techniques.
[08:42] ---
    He hasn't even built up
    his basic core strength,
[08:46] ---
    --Apapapapapapapa!
    --and he's already being
    hounded by the tough guys.
[08:49] ---
    Who knows what's going to happen.
[08:51] ---
    Apa!
[08:53] ---
    --Thank you very much!!
    --Oh, Kenichi-san!
[08:57] ---
    Big Brother! Big Brother!
    Get a hold of yourself, Big Brother!
[09:03] ---
    Oh, Sister... I see.
    So you died as well...
[09:09] ---
    Poor thing...
[09:11] ---
    But now we can happily live together
    as brother and sister in heaven.
[09:17] ---
    Honoka...
[09:19] ---
    What are you talking about?
    You're at home!
[09:22] ---
    Home? If I'm home,
    that must mean that I'm alive!
[09:30] ---
    I'm alive!
[09:32] ---
    Mom! Something's wrong with Big Brother!
[09:41] ---
    I suppose you are free
    to spend your own allowance
[09:45] ---
    on whatever you wish to learn.
[09:47] ---
    But to see you come home all
    beaten up like this everyday...
[09:52] ---
    Is this dojo that you joined legitimate?
[09:56] ---
    It's... It's not legitimate at all.
[10:00] ---
    But legitimate just won't do it!
[10:03] ---
    Anything legitimate isn't
    going to help me in time!
[10:06] ---
    Hey, wait up, Big Brother!
[10:09] ---
    I bet you're being bullied at
    that dojo too! Right, Big Brother?
[10:13] ---
    What do we do with him?
[10:16] ---
    I'm always telling her not
    to run down the stairs.
[10:21] ---
    Saori...
[10:21] ---
    Yes, Dear?
[10:25] ---
    What are we going to do?
    What are we going to do?
[10:27] ---
    Our son is in big trouble!
[10:28] ---
    We have to do something
    to protect our son!
[10:32] ---
    That's the dojo he chose on his own.
    Let's have faith in him.
[10:38] ---
    Saori...
[10:40] ---
    Ahh! There you go again
    telling me stuff like that!
[10:42] ---
    What if it's a truly evil dojo?
    Our precious son's life is...
[10:50] ---
    Come on, Sebastian!
[10:55] ---
    Now that it's come to this,
[10:56] ---
    I'll just have to deal with those
    evil dojo guys at once myself!
[11:01] ---
    What do you think of that, Sebastian?
[11:05] ---
    Dear?
[11:07] ---
    Huh?
[11:08] ---
    That boy who used to always
    run away from everything
[11:12] ---
    has decided that he's going
    to fight back on his own.
[11:16] ---
    We must have faith in him for now.
    He is our son, after all.
[11:21] ---
    Sebastian! Back in the case!
[11:26] ---
    You're right, Saori.
[11:28] ---
    He possesses both of our DNA.
[11:36] ---
    I'm a little worried about
    your DNA though...
[11:42] ---
    They're hanging out waiting
    for you by the back gate as well.
[11:44] ---
    They're from the karate club.
[11:46] ---
    I bet Tsukuba-senpai
    ordered them to.
[11:49] ---
    Now that it's come to this...
[11:51] ---
    Listen, Miu-san!
[11:53] ---
    This doesn't mean
    that I'm running away!
[11:55] ---
    This is a strategic withdrawal!
[11:59] ---
    Sure.
[12:01] ---
    Whatever he's going on about,
[12:04] ---
    I think that Kenichi-san is getting
    tougher and tougher by the day.
[12:26] ---
    Wow! That's amazing!
[12:33] ---
    As long as there's this ace Takashima,
    the next competition will be...
[12:37] ---
    --Wow!
    --Oh my gosh!
[12:40] ---
    Furinji-san, you're so flexible!
[12:49] ---
    So nimble!
[12:50] ---
    Incredible!
[12:51] ---
    So, Miu Furinji-san, was it?
[12:54] ---
    Miss Transfer Student.
[12:56] ---
    According to a rumor, you've been
    training at a very high level
[12:59] ---
    since you were back in junior high.
[13:01] ---
    A girl like you shouldn't just stay on the
    sidelines and do nothing but stretching.
[13:06] ---
    How about getting right out into the
    center and showing us what you're made of?
[13:09] ---
    Come on. Don't hold back.
[13:16] ---
    Well, what's the matter?
[13:18] ---
    That's right!
[13:19] ---
    --What the...
    --Show us!
[13:22] ---
    Now, hand over your glasses.
[13:24] ---
    What?
[13:25] ---
    Go on. Hustle!
[13:29] ---
    --Can't wait to see this.
    --Oh, what am I going to do?
[13:31] ---
    --No kidding!
    --I really didn't want to stand out.
[13:37] ---
    Well, here I go.
[13:40] ---
    Now, let's see what you've got.
    What you're made of.
[13:56] ---
    Wh-What's up with this girl's moves?
[14:03] ---
    They're beautiful.
[14:06] ---
    But there's something
    different about her beauty.
[14:10] ---
    It's crisp in a way
    that I can't explain...
[14:15] ---
    Yes, It's much like
    the beauty of a sword.
[14:22] ---
    What? What?
[14:28] ---
    Wow! I've never seen
    anyone so impressive!
[14:31] ---
    It's like it's not
    even rhythmic gymnastics.
[14:34] ---
    You're too good, Furinji-san!
[14:36] ---
    Here's a towel.
[14:37] ---
    Uh, thanks.
[14:39] ---
    You should be able to become
    our ace performer in no time!
[14:41] ---
    Right, Takashima-senpai?
[14:44] ---
    Huh?
[14:45] ---
    Uh, yeah...
[14:49] ---
    I hope you'll teach me some moves!
[14:50] ---
    --Me too!
    --Me too!
[14:53] ---
    Me too, please!
[14:54] ---
    I don't know if
    I'm qualified to teach...
[14:57] ---
    Furinji-kun...
[15:01] ---
    Don't you let it go
    to your head, you hear?
[15:04] ---
    Now, girls.
    It's time to wrap it up.
[15:06] ---
    Okay!
[15:12] ---
    I did it only because
    she asked me to. Right?
[15:23] ---
    After all, the most dangerous time is
    the time everyone gets out of school.
[15:28] ---
    Now that I've got my shoes,
[15:29] ---
    I just have to
    meet up with Miu-san
[15:32] ---
    and make my escape from
    the window on the first floor.
[15:35] ---
    Clear to the right.
    Clear to the left.
[15:38] ---
    And while I'm at it,
    clear to the back... Uh...
[15:47] ---
    H-He found me!
[16:07] ---
    Kenichi-san sure is taking a long time.
[16:14] ---
    Please let me go!
[16:17] ---
    Why do I have to
    fight you, Tsukuba-san?
[16:22] ---
    Why? Who gives a damn about that?
    Just fight me, Shirahama!
[16:28] ---
    I-I don't want to fight for no reason.
[16:34] ---
    Running away?
[16:37] ---
    Are you going to
    run away, you coward?
[16:42] ---
    I-I'm...
[16:44] ---
    I'm not a coward!
    You take that back!
[16:50] ---
    Then you try to defeat me
    and make me take it back!
[17:00] ---
    F-Fast!
[17:10] ---
    Hey, what's the matter?
    Why don't you fight back?
[17:13] ---
    So, let me see how you always
    take down your opponent.
[17:17] ---
    I'm going to witness your
    true ability with my own eyes!
[17:30] ---
    Stop screwing around.
[17:33] ---
    You're a total amateur!
[17:36] ---
    Was your fight against
    Daimonji a fluke?
[17:46] ---
    Take that back!
[17:50] ---
    Hey, let me go.
[17:56] ---
    You little punk!
[17:58] ---
    You're pathetic,
    you piece of trash!
[18:01] ---
    Let go, you bastard!
[18:17] ---
    What the hell is this?
[18:19] ---
    The guy gave me a bruise!
[18:21] ---
    How could some little novice
    with no ability whatsoever
[18:24] ---
    have so much strength?
[18:27] ---
    Hey, you disappointing bastard!
[18:34] ---
    I don't get it.
[18:39] ---
    What? Kenichi-san finally got here?
[18:44] ---
    Oh, Kenichi-san!
[18:46] ---
    What happened to you today?
[18:49] ---
    I waited and waited
    but you never showed up,
[18:51] ---
    so I thought maybe
    you went ahead and...
[18:54] ---
    You have terrible injuries!
[18:56] ---
    It must mean that that Tsukuba fellow
    of the karate club finally got you!
[19:02] ---
    Not at all.
    I just fell down the stairs.
[19:07] ---
    That doesn't sound right to me!
[19:09] ---
    What kind of stairs would those be?
[19:13] ---
    No, actually that's really the truth.
[19:18] ---
    Anyway, I've got some training to do, so...
[19:24] ---
    Wait up, Kenichi-san!
[19:25] ---
    Just leave him alone.
[19:27] ---
    Sakaki-san...
[19:30] ---
    But...
[19:31] ---
    Listen, Miu.
[19:33] ---
    There's a face to every man that
    he would never want to show a woman.
[19:40] ---
    Oh...
[19:42] ---
    I see.
[19:46] ---
    Hmm...
[19:47] ---
    Doesn't seem to be
    any problems with your bones.
[19:50] ---
    And no dislocations.
[19:53] ---
    That hurts! That really hurts!
[19:57] ---
    Well, the important thing is
    that you made it back safely.
[20:02] ---
    Safely? This isn't something
    to laugh about, dammit!
[20:07] ---
    I worked so hard to train myself,
[20:11] ---
    but I lost...
    I lost so easily. So easily.
[20:19] ---
    You're right that it
    is no laughing matter.
[20:22] ---
    And so, what do you
    want to do about it?
[20:26] ---
    You want to do the same
    thing he did to you?
[20:33] ---
    I just want to... I just wanted
    to tell him that he was wrong.
[20:39] ---
    But just telling him
    wouldn't change anything,
[20:44] ---
    so when I tried to come out
    and show him what's right...
[20:50] ---
    ...I realized that I needed strength!
[20:53] ---
    I need strength and courage.
[20:56] ---
    Right now, I have neither...
[21:03] ---
    All right! Tomorrow you will
    start practicing techniques!
[21:09] ---
    Huh? Wha... What?
[21:12] ---
    It's to realize the sense
    of justice he believes in, huh?
[21:15] ---
    To think that the words I spoke
    to my master many years ago
[21:19] ---
    would be thrown
    back at me like this.
[21:22] ---
    --Kenichi!
    --Huh?
[21:24] ---
    Apachai is all ready!
[21:28] ---
    Apachai-kun,
    I appreciate your enthusiasm,
[21:31] ---
    but you don't seem to
    understand your own limits.
[21:33] ---
    Huh?
[21:34] ---
    Apa!
[21:35] ---
    Apapa... Limit what?
[21:38] ---
    Japanese is hard to understand!
[21:41] ---
    You seriously don't know?
[21:43] ---
    Don't worry, Kenichi.
[21:45] ---
    What?
[21:46] ---
    I may not know Japanese very well,
[21:49] ---
    but I sure know how
    to destroy another man!
[21:54] ---
    Apapa!
[21:56] ---
    He was just told, "starting tomorrow."
    He just doesn't seem to get it at all.
[22:03] ---
    It's nice to see them like that.
[22:06] ---
    He's just happy that
    he's got his very first disciple.
[22:09] ---
    Apachai, Apachai, Apachai...
[22:13] ---
    Wow, he's singing...
[22:15] ---
    Apapapapapapapapa!
[22:18] ---
    Wow, I can't see his punches...
[22:21] ---
    Apapapa...
[22:24] ---
    Wow, he's destroying something... Hey!
[22:27] ---
    He's really getting
    into this, that Apachai.
[22:30] ---
    It looks... fun.
[22:32] ---
    Please! Please tell Apachai what
    it means to know one's limits!
[22:43] ---
    Even if it's hidden by rain
[22:52] ---
    The sun must be there
[23:02] ---
    I had even lost a dream
[23:10] ---
    I will never forget
    the smile that gave me courage
[23:22] ---
    I keep on believing because I have you
[23:29] ---
    Light starts flowing out of my heart
[23:40] ---
    Just like a flower
    with no name on the street
[23:49] ---
    When I stumble and fall
[23:58] ---
    I will get up on my own
[24:07] ---
    Come on, what's wrong, Ken-chan?
    Giving up already?
[24:10] ---
    At this rate, you'll lose again.
[24:13] ---
    I never thought learning
    techniques would be this tough.
[24:16] ---
    You're the one who wanted to
    learn techniques, Ken-chan.
[24:19] ---
    The basic principle is to
    keep on training a disciple
[24:21] ---
    while keeping him
    in anguish the whole time.
[24:23] ---
    Wh-What a frightening thing!
[24:25] ---
    And I suppose you were telling a lie when
    you said you wanted to get stronger.
[24:27] ---
    That wasn't a lie! I will get stronger!
[24:30] ---
    Definitely! Sensei,
    one more time, please!
[24:32] ---
    Hmph! That's the attitude!
[24:36] ---
