**[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] ---**
**[24:38] ---**
**[24:40] ---**
