**[00:07] ---**
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] ---**
Oh, did I swing it too strong?
**[01:37] ---**
In any case, you should dodge it!
**[01:40] ---**
It's a miracle! I got one bar of signal!
**[01:43] ---**
God gave me one bar
since I'm gonna die soon!
**[01:48] ---**
Oops. It disappears if
I'm not in this position.
**[01:51] ---**
I have to hurry up and call.
**[01:53] ---**
Hm? E-mail...? Who's that from?
**[01:56] ---**
"Niijima"
**[01:56] ---**
Ugh! Niijima?!
**[01:59] ---**
People who get picked on
were born to be picked on.
**[02:03] ---**
Who becomes a leader...
Who gets bossed around...
**[02:06] ---**
Those things are properly
decided based on their place at birth.
**[02:11] ---**
But you shook that belief
of mine to its very core.
**[02:16] ---**
"Safety First"
**[02:21] ---**
"Shinpaku Federation"
**[02:21] ---**
Let's ride this out by ourselves!
**[02:27] ---**
Molotov cocktails?!
**[02:33] ---**
This is crazy! I've heard of being
surrounded, but this is overkill!
**[02:36] ---**
Are you guys idiots or what?!
**[02:37] ---**
Elder, I have to go back
to the town right away.
**[02:41] ---**
Hmm... Well, if it's delinquents
in town, he's at an okay level.
**[02:47] ---**
Thor is on the scene!
**[02:51] ---**
Thor... How dare you...
**[02:54] ---**
I'm here based on the earnest
request by my best friend, Siegfried!
**[02:58] ---**
I'll participate in Shinpaku from today on!
**[03:02] ---**
What?!
**[03:09] ---**
I knew he'd come for us!
**[03:12] ---**
Elder! Is this method what you
meant by "not guaranteeing my life"?!
**[03:17] ---**
Yeah. I carry you on my back and
run at full speed from start to finish!
**[03:22] ---**
This is precisely the shortest route.
**[03:24] ---**
I-It sure is fast, but...
**[03:26] ---**
...once my hands get numb,
that's the end for me... right?!
**[03:31] ---**
Darn, they're already here...
**[03:38] ---**
Ragnarok is... dead!
**[03:47] ---**
Wh-Who the heck are
those crazy looking people?!
**[03:52] ---**
They're the strongest Greatest Fists
who were secretly gathered and trained.
**[03:57] ---**
The new Eight Greatest Fists!
**[03:59] ---**
And our new leader...
**[04:04] ---**
Berserker... You're the best suited.
**[04:07] ---**
I'll be satisfied with the No. 2 position.
**[04:12] ---**
I hereby declare that we
form a solemn, sacred group,
**[04:16] ---**
Holy Ragnarok!
**[04:29] ---**
H-How dare you...!
**[04:41] ---**
Go, Niijima! I swore to
Sieg that I'd protect you!
**[04:54] ---**
What the heck?
**[04:55] ---**
Ow, ow, ow...
**[04:58] ---**
Elder, please drop me off more gently.
**[05:09] ---**
Are you okay, everyone?!
**[05:11] ---**
K-Kenichi!
**[05:13] ---**
Commander Shirahama!
**[05:16] ---**
Kenichi Shirahama...
**[05:19] ---**
Good grief. You're as
persistent as you used to be!
**[05:41] ---**
So they're fighting at that closed plant?
**[05:44] ---**
Yes.
**[05:45] ---**
I see smoke rising from there.
**[05:47] ---**
--Pic... ni... c.
--Yahoo!
**[05:49] ---**
Let's see... There are many people.
**[05:53] ---**
What?! Where?!
Where do you see them?!
**[05:55] ---**
Apa, you're right!
**[06:03] ---**
It's too far for an ordinary
person to see. Here, use this.
**[06:07] ---**
What I wanna know is, what are you
trying to look at every day with that?
**[06:11] ---**
Ugh! B-Birds, of course!
**[06:14] ---**
Be safe, my friends...
my dear king of the demons!
**[06:23] ---**
Whoooa!
**[06:29] ---**
Hi everyone.
It's been a while. I just got back.
**[06:34] ---**
Ah, Grandpa. Welcome back.
**[06:36] ---**
Apa!
**[06:37] ---**
Wh-Who the heck is this elderly man
who runs like wind? The wind god?
**[06:42] ---**
I thought I saw you guys on
our way back to Ryozanpaku.
**[06:46] ---**
So I stopped by. Sure enough, I was right.
**[06:48] ---**
Oh? What about Kenichi-san?
**[06:50] ---**
Where's the Kenichi-san
we've been waiting for?
**[06:53] ---**
Mr. Kenichi?! So Mr. Kenichi is back?!
**[06:56] ---**
I... I dropped Ken-chan on my way here...
**[07:01] ---**
What?!
**[07:04] ---**
Just kidding.
**[07:06] ---**
I threw him right into his enemy's midst.
**[07:09] ---**
Old man, nothing you say sounds like a joke.
**[07:14] ---**
It's not a joke at all if you
threw him into his enemy's midst.
**[07:18] ---**
Ahh... it's been a while
since I've had some tea.
**[07:23] ---**
Now, look carefully... It's around the
warehouse where the smoke is rising.
**[07:28] ---**
I can barely even make people out.
**[07:37] ---**
Although he's just come off from
his training, he's fired up and ready to go.
**[07:41] ---**
As I thought, it seems like
Ragnarok and Shinpaku are fighting.
**[07:45] ---**
Why is even Thor-san here?
**[07:47] ---**
I don't understand what's going on at all.
**[07:49] ---**
Niijima! Explain!
**[07:51] ---**
Geez... You come when
I tell you not to come.
**[07:55] ---**
What's going on?! I see only a couple
Shinpaku Federation members here.
**[07:59] ---**
What happened to Takeda-san?!
**[08:01] ---**
--He died in battle!
--What?!
**[08:02] ---**
Well, he didn't really die or anything.
**[08:04] ---**
What about Ukita-san?!
**[08:05] ---**
He died in battle!
**[08:06] ---**
What about Mizunuma-kun?!
What about Kamioka-kun?!
**[08:08] ---**
And Sieg-san?!
**[08:09] ---**
They all died in battle!
We're the only ones who survived.
**[08:13] ---**
Let me reiterate that
they're not really dead, okay?
**[08:16] ---**
D-Did you do that, Ryuto?!
**[08:19] ---**
Hmph. Why would I go to the trouble
of dealing with such small fries myself?
**[08:24] ---**
What?!
**[08:25] ---**
That was... me.
**[08:29] ---**
Every single one of them was like a snail.
**[08:33] ---**
They moved around slowly and when
I stepped on them they got crushed.
**[08:42] ---**
Calm down, Ken-chan. Remember
"calm" and the "serene state of mind."
**[08:49] ---**
My bad.
I got consumed by the anger I felt.
**[08:52] ---**
All right! It's Kenichi Shirahama!
**[08:54] ---**
Rumor says that we can become
a Greatest Fist if we defeat him!
**[08:57] ---**
Let's take him down!
**[09:01] ---**
Sphere of control!
**[09:06] ---**
His way of handling his enemies...
**[09:08] ---**
Don't tell me that he's mastered
**[09:10] ---**
how to fight using the sphere
of control in such a short time...
**[09:25] ---**
Hey, hey... Don't you two get
all worked up by yourselves.
**[09:30] ---**
Just hold on a sec, Berserker.
**[09:32] ---**
This isn't your fight!
You keep out of this, Kenichi!
**[09:35] ---**
Let me do it!
**[09:36] ---**
Shut up!
**[09:37] ---**
You secluded yourself and trained in the
mountains in order to defeat Odin, right?
**[09:41] ---**
So think only about defeating him!
**[09:44] ---**
Ah, I've just noticed... Tanimoto-kun...
**[09:47] ---**
What?
**[09:48] ---**
What're you doing here?!
**[09:49] ---**
Eh?!
**[09:51] ---**
Uhm, well... I came to get
even with that bastard Loki.
**[09:54] ---**
But then, Berserker got to him first and...
**[09:57] ---**
Well... so I somehow...
**[09:59] ---**
Ahhh! Shut up!
**[10:01] ---**
Don't ask me questions! I'll kill you!
**[10:03] ---**
I'm sorry. Did I ask
something I shouldn't have?
**[10:06] ---**
Are they fighting among themselves?
**[10:08] ---**
He came to save the Shinpaku
Federation from our crisis...
**[10:11] ---**
...together with Commander Thor!
**[10:13] ---**
Commander Tanimoto
is one of us after all!
**[10:17] ---**
--Tanimoto-kun...
--That's not true!
**[10:19] ---**
You're still tired from the
training in the mountains as it is.
**[10:23] ---**
If you fight two of the Three of Cards now,
**[10:26] ---**
if things go wrong, you'll become unable
to do martial arts for the rest of your life.
**[10:31] ---**
If that happens, you and I won't be
able to hold a return match, right?
**[10:35] ---**
On top of that,
**[10:36] ---**
if that happens, I don't know what
that nagging sister of yours would say.
**[10:42] ---**
Grrrr!
**[10:44] ---**
Tanimoto-kun...
**[10:46] ---**
That's a heartwarming talk
with your friend, Kenichi,
**[10:49] ---**
but when did I say I'd fight you?
**[10:51] ---**
What?!
**[10:54] ---**
You don't qualify to fight me
as you lost against me once.
**[10:58] ---**
In addition, guys like you two...
he can take care of both of you by himself.
**[11:07] ---**
Hermit!
**[11:09] ---**
Tanimoto-kun!
**[11:13] ---**
Hmph! That attack was so slow
that I was getting tired of waiting for it.
**[11:19] ---**
Oh? Your skills have
improved even more, Hermit.
**[11:24] ---**
Blood?
**[11:26] ---**
Did you think that Kenichi was
the only one who has been training?
**[11:30] ---**
Since I left Ragnarok,
I've been undergoing hellish training.
**[11:34] ---**
Berserker! You're a perfect opponent
for me to see the results of my training.
**[11:44] ---**
What'd you do that for?!
**[11:47] ---**
It's a mark.
I'll land loads of punches there!
**[11:58] ---**
H-He's strong...
**[11:59] ---**
He's not called
"the unbeatable brawler" for nothing.
**[12:03] ---**
"Brawler"?
**[12:04] ---**
Yeah... He's never learned
any martial art officially.
**[12:09] ---**
With nothing but his natural talent,
he's taken down many martial artists.
**[12:14] ---**
Rumor says that he's
never been defeated in a fight.
**[12:20] ---**
Tanimoto-kun!
**[12:21] ---**
Amazing! He got sent flying!
**[12:23] ---**
I knew it. No matter how strong Hermit is,
he's only the ex-Sixth Greatest Fist.
**[12:28] ---**
There's no way he can
match the Three of Cards.
**[12:36] ---**
Oh? To see he parried
all Berserker's attacks...
**[12:41] ---**
Hmph! What's the matter? I thought
you said you'd land punches here.
**[12:45] ---**
Don't lump me in with the bogus
martial artists you've fought all this time!
**[12:49] ---**
My master is Sogetsu Ma,
a killer who's called the Demon Fist!
**[12:54] ---**
Have a taste of the real
martial arts, Berserker!
**[12:58] ---**
Too slow.
**[13:07] ---**
All right!
**[13:12] ---**
There are attacks that you can't
evade even when you can see them.
**[13:15] ---**
Those techniques use
humans' reflexes against them.
**[13:19] ---**
Real martial artists are those
who learned techniques like that
**[13:23] ---**
after so many years of training.
**[13:25] ---**
I see... It's true that in a fight where
techniques like that are thrown around,
**[13:29] ---**
even Berserker,
who's got excellent reflexes, is...
**[13:33] ---**
No, rather, that's exactly the
reason why he can't evade them.
**[13:36] ---**
As I thought, he's strong.
**[13:38] ---**
I also heard that when he fought me
last time, he was hiding a big injury.
**[13:53] ---**
Now, what're you gonna do, Hermit?
Even if your master was great,
**[13:58] ---**
he didn't teach you how to deal with
attacks from straight overhead, did he?
**[14:02] ---**
Don't take me lightly!
**[14:05] ---**
Tanimoto-kun!
**[14:07] ---**
Or how to deal with him
when he kicks you while he rolls?
**[14:11] ---**
Have you ever been afraid to fight?
**[14:14] ---**
What?!
**[14:14] ---**
You must have.
That's how an ordinary person is.
**[14:17] ---**
Shut up!
**[14:19] ---**
But there's something I fear more than
losing in a battle... That's being bored.
**[14:26] ---**
I fear a boring everyday life
without thrills more than that.
**[14:31] ---**
This is unfortunate... I was
having fun for the first time in a while.
**[14:35] ---**
This is... it!
**[14:40] ---**
--Commander Tanimoto!
--Hermit!
**[14:42] ---**
Tanimoto-kun!
**[14:48] ---**
Bulls-eye...
**[15:02] ---**
--Hermit!
--Commander Hermit!
**[15:03] ---**
--Hermit was...!
--Tanimoto-kun!
**[15:07] ---**
Hermit!
**[15:13] ---**
Hermit... I expected more from you...
but I guess you're a snail, too, huh?
**[15:18] ---**
Kenichi Shirahama, do me a favor.
Seriously, I'm asking you.
**[15:22] ---**
Would you satisfy me at least?
I haven't felt fired up lately, so...
**[15:27] ---**
Kenichi! Get revenge for Hermit for sure!
**[15:30] ---**
Not possible!
**[15:31] ---**
Don't give up before you even fight!
**[15:36] ---**
Wheeling... Arms!
**[15:40] ---**
See what I mean?
It's not possible, like I said.
**[15:42] ---**
Tanimoto-kun is someone
who'd do what he said he would.
**[15:45] ---**
Sorry. Different from a certain
someone who seeks thrills and excitement,
**[15:50] ---**
I can never afford to be defeated...
since I vowed it to myself!
**[15:55] ---**
Big Brother... don't give in.
**[16:02] ---**
Here's the payback for earlier!
**[16:07] ---**
Uh-oh... Now he's done it.
**[16:10] ---**
Listen well, Berserker!
**[16:12] ---**
The weakness of geniuses like you is...
**[16:15] ---**
...that you guys lack the tenacity to win!
**[16:18] ---**
But my master, Sogetsu, hammered the
idea that a defeat means death into me.
**[16:24] ---**
I'd never let my guard down until I
give my finishing blow to my opponent!
**[16:36] ---**
I told you, didn't I... that
I'd land loads of punches?
**[16:40] ---**
Dammit! When did you...
**[16:42] ---**
When did he attack?!
**[16:44] ---**
It looked like Tanimoto-kun
completely had the upper hand!
**[16:53] ---**
Whoa... that brat...
**[16:55] ---**
Hmm... He is a typical kinetic type.
**[16:59] ---**
But he's consumed by his own power.
**[17:03] ---**
You wouldn't call that his ideal state.
**[17:06] ---**
Cool... This is fun, Hermit.
**[17:09] ---**
You're different from
the other snails after all.
**[17:13] ---**
I hope you'll give me ephemeral thrills!
**[17:17] ---**
I will...
**[17:20] ---**
...along with defeat and despair!
**[17:32] ---**
He's fast! Although they're random,
his punches are so fast!
**[17:36] ---**
And... I can't read their rhythm at all.
They're completely random strikes!
**[17:45] ---**
Hey, wasn't that a left punch first?
**[17:48] ---**
Yeah, it looked that way to me, too,
but it was a right punch when I noticed it.
**[17:53] ---**
His attacks have no style. They have
neither patterns nor a certain flow.
**[17:57] ---**
That's why...
**[17:58] ---**
...an illusion occurs.
**[18:00] ---**
When your eyes follow movements,
you anticipate their directions unconsciously.
**[18:05] ---**
But that man's attacks
are so ever-changing
**[18:10] ---**
that they make his
opponent go under an illusion.
**[18:13] ---**
Here you go.
**[18:19] ---**
I'm happy to see that you
got through those attacks...
**[18:22] ---**
Then, how about this?!
**[18:24] ---**
What?! He's showing
his back to his enemy?!
**[18:37] ---**
Looks like he's in a berserk mode.
**[18:39] ---**
Once he becomes like this,
nothing can stop him.
**[18:43] ---**
Move away from him, Commander Hermit!
**[18:46] ---**
No... It's affecting his legs!
**[18:47] ---**
Tanimoto-kun...!
**[18:49] ---**
What's the matter?! Entertain me more!
**[18:52] ---**
It's not fun if all you do is defend!
**[18:54] ---**
Everyone moves around slowly.
**[18:57] ---**
Watching mediocre
people makes me irritated!
**[18:59] ---**
Hermit! Are you the same?!
Are you the same?!
**[19:06] ---**
Ah, no! The match is already over!
**[19:09] ---**
Indeed, the winner is already decided.
**[19:15] ---**
This is the finishing blow!
**[19:26] ---**
Just as I planned...
**[19:28] ---**
When you throw your finishing blow,
you become confident and overact!
**[19:33] ---**
I was waiting for that moment.
**[19:36] ---**
Taking a tactical defeat to gain a victory...
**[19:38] ---**
People often talk of it, but it's rare
to see someone who actually does it.
**[19:41] ---**
I told you, didn't I?! Our level of
tenacity towards winning is different!
**[19:45] ---**
At the very least, he's my
brother Sogetsu Ma's disciple.
**[19:48] ---**
It's just a matter of course
that he can do that much.
**[19:50] ---**
It's true that he's rough,
as expected of your brother's disciple.
**[19:54] ---**
Striking in the solar plexus with
an elbow can kill if things go wrong.
**[19:57] ---**
Either way, that man can't stand up now.
**[20:00] ---**
Probably not... Hm?
**[20:01] ---**
--Oh?
--Hm?
**[20:15] ---**
He's secreting large amounts of adrenaline.
**[20:17] ---**
He probably doesn't even feel pain now.
**[20:24] ---**
He closed in on him! Oh, I see!
**[20:26] ---**
He switched to Bajiquan,
which is for close-range battles!
**[20:29] ---**
Once he's fighting so close,
Berserker can't change his thrusts!
**[20:35] ---**
Surrender, Berserker. You're just brawling.
**[20:39] ---**
Real martial arts are fearsome.
**[20:41] ---**
Are you an idiot?
I'm having fun right n--
**[20:46] ---**
Ah... Just as you'd expect from Hermit.
**[20:48] ---**
He disjointed Berserker's
arm without any hesitation.
**[20:51] ---**
How dare you...!
**[20:53] ---**
It may be true that a
hundred efforts yield to a talent.
**[20:58] ---**
He punched using his disjointed arm!
**[21:00] ---**
But then, how about a thousand efforts?
Ten thousand efforts?
**[21:04] ---**
Why have martial arts been
passed down for thousands of years?
**[21:08] ---**
That's because in
the world of martial arts...
**[21:13] ---**
...effort surpasses talent!
**[21:29] ---**
All right!
**[21:34] ---**
But, of course, I do have talent
and work hard on top of that.
**[21:39] ---**
I can bet on this. Even if you fought
Shirahama, you still would've lost.
**[21:45] ---**
You bastard...!
**[21:47] ---**
I can't move my body.
**[21:49] ---**
On top of that, what's this feeling welling
up from deep inside that I can't explain?
**[21:57] ---**
That's what you call the feeling of defeat.
**[22:00] ---**
A-Amazing! Commander Tanimoto!
**[22:03] ---**
To see he really defeated Berserker...
**[22:11] ---**
Yeah.
**[22:12] ---**
Ken-chan's friend is quite good, too.
**[22:15] ---**
♪ All right! All right!
That's Hermit for you! ♪
**[22:24] ---**
Now I completed my role as a herald.
**[22:27] ---**
Tag.
**[22:37] ---**
It hurts!
**[22:39] ---**
I'm always right there, by your side
**[22:45] ---**
I can hear the beating of your heart
**[22:51] ---**
Whether it's today, tomorrow,
or any other time
**[22:58] ---**
There'll always be only one answer
**[23:04] ---**
Even if I'm unable to see the future
**[23:11] ---**
I'll think of you without any hesitation
**[23:21] ---**
I love you
**[23:22] ---**
I only have eyes for you
**[23:29] ---**
I want to tell you how I feel about you
**[23:34] ---**
You don't need to say anything
**[23:39] ---**
Just that smile is enough
**[23:44] ---**
Then some day, take that
world that exists for us alone
**[23:55] ---**
and make it bright
**[24:05] ---**
I'm gonna straighten you out now!
Take off your glasses, Ryuto!
**[24:09] ---**
It seems that you can fight a
little better now, Kenichi. I'm glad.
**[24:13] ---**
But are you really sure it's okay
for me to take off my glasses?
**[24:17] ---**
What?!
**[24:18] ---**
You'll end up learning why
I'm called Odin the hard way.
**[24:22] ---**
I've trained all this time
in order to defeat you!
**[24:25] ---**
I can't back down now!
**[24:28] ---**
How foolish... Then experience my fist,
the Legendary Spear, thoroughly!
