[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
[01:30] ---
    This is the finishing blow!
[01:42] ---
    Just as I planned...
[01:43] ---
    When you throw your finishing blow,
    you become confident and overact!
[01:49] ---
    I was waiting for that moment.
[01:52] ---
    Taking a tactical defeat to gain a victory...
[01:54] ---
    People often talk of it, but it's rare
    to see someone who actually does it.
[01:57] ---
    I told you, didn't I?! Our level of
    tenacity towards winning is different!
[02:03] ---
    Surrender, Berserker.
    You're just brawling.
[02:06] ---
    Real martial arts are fearsome.
[02:09] ---
    Are you an idiot?
    I'm having fun right n--
[02:13] ---
    Ah... Just as you'd expect from Hermit.
[02:15] ---
    He disjointed Berserker's
    arm without any hesitation.
[02:18] ---
    How dare you...!
[02:20] ---
    It may be true that a
    hundred efforts yield to a talent.
[02:26] ---
    He punched using his disjointed arm!
[02:28] ---
    But then, how about a thousand efforts?
    Ten thousand efforts?
[02:32] ---
    Why have martial arts been
    passed down for thousands of years?
[02:35] ---
    That's because in
    the world of martial arts...
[02:40] ---
    ...effort surpasses talent!
[02:57] ---
    All right!
[03:02] ---
    But, of course, I do have talent
    and work hard on top of that.
[03:06] ---
    I can bet on this. Even if you fought
    Shirahama, you still would've lost.
[03:12] ---
    You bastard...!
[03:14] ---
    I can't move my body.
[03:16] ---
    On top of that, what's this feeling welling
    up from deep inside that I can't explain?
[03:24] ---
    That's what you call the feeling of defeat.
[03:27] ---
    A-Amazing! Commander Tanimoto!
[03:30] ---
    To see he really defeated Berserker...
[03:39] ---
    Now I completed my
    role as a herald. Kenichi...
[03:46] ---
    Tag.
[03:50] ---
    It hurts!
[03:56] ---
    Berserker's been defeated!
[03:58] ---
    Did you guys see that?! This is the
    power of the Shinpaku Federation's
[04:01] ---
    Second Commander, Hermit!
[04:03] ---
    I'm not part of the Shinpaku Federation!
[04:09] ---
    F... Feeling of defeat, you said?!
[04:15] ---
    I don't have any feeling like that.
[04:19] ---
    Hey... there's no way you can stand.
[04:28] ---
    You're barely standing!
[04:31] ---
    You can't go on any longer!
[04:35] ---
    Watch out, Commander Shirahama!
[04:37] ---
    You idiot! Get away from him, Kenichi!
[04:39] ---
    You stupid king of the softies!
[04:40] ---
    Don't get in my way!
[04:50] ---
    Listen, Berserker-san.
[04:53] ---
    My life was full of defeats!
[04:56] ---
    That's right! The feeling of defeat is
    just like a close friend to me so to speak!
[05:03] ---
    Don't say such a pitiful
    thing with such confidence.
[05:06] ---
    And I realized... that only
    after overcoming those defeats...
[05:11] ---
    ...can you grow.
[05:15] ---
    Why don't you accept your
    defeat for now and fight again later?
[05:20] ---
    My defeat?
[05:21] ---
    That's right! What's the big deal
    with being defeated once or twice?
[05:25] ---
    The world is vast and there are tons of
    experts who're beyond your imagination!
[05:30] ---
    "Safety First"
[05:31] ---
    Experts who're beyond my imagination?
[05:35] ---
    --Yes!
    --Tons of them?
[05:36] ---
    Yes! Tons of them!
[05:38] ---
    I see them every day.
[05:41] ---
    You're a funny man. Oh, well.
    I'll back off for today.
[05:47] ---
    But if this feeling is
    indeed the feeling of defeat,
[05:51] ---
    I've experienced this feeling
    just once without even fighting.
[05:56] ---
    What?
[05:57] ---
    The feeling I felt then was
    a lot worse than this, though.
[06:02] ---
    It was like a dark feeling welling up...
[06:04] ---
    Such a feeling intensely
    struck me even before fighting.
[06:08] ---
    I didn't understand it then,
    but it's very clear now.
[06:12] ---
    My wild instinct was telling me
    to avoid fighting with this man.
[06:19] ---
    But I don't feel it from you.
[06:23] ---
    Don't do this. You can't defeat Odi--
[06:33] ---
    Don't go comforting a loser,
    Kenichi Shirahama.
[06:38] ---
    Berserker-san!
[06:39] ---
    A battle is like a sacred ceremony.
[06:43] ---
    All the winner has to do
    is step over the loser.
[06:50] ---
    What're you doing?!
    He's gonna attack, Kenichi!
[06:52] ---
    I don't know when your
    mind became so crooked...
[06:55] ---
    But...
[06:56] ---
    ...it seems that beating
    you is the only way
[06:59] ---
    to correct that crooked
    mind of yours, huh?!
[07:04] ---
    Hey, it's starting.
[07:06] ---
    Finally, the battle between the leaders...
[07:08] ---
    You're our leader, right?
[07:10] ---
    Ahem! I'm the General.
[07:13] ---
    Be careful!
    Don't let him touch your body!
[07:15] ---
    All right, the main event.
[07:19] ---
    So, what's the outcome
    of Kenichi's training like?
[07:22] ---
    If it's ordinary delinquents that he's
    up against, he can easily handle them.
[07:27] ---
    If it's ordinary delinquents...
[07:31] ---
    No matter how many times you try,
    you can't break my sphere of control.
[07:39] ---
    Wha...?! He let my thrust slip and...!
[07:42] ---
    This is bad!
[07:44] ---
    Oh? I'm impressed you evaded it.
    You're like another person!
[07:46] ---
    Calm down!
    Remember the "serene state of mind"!
[07:49] ---
    Phew... I'm calm now.
[07:57] ---
    I can see... his sphere of control!
[08:00] ---
    I can't believe it. Is it possible
    to master it in such a short time?
[08:04] ---
    He couldn't have taught himself.
[08:07] ---
    In that case, the one
    who taught it to him...
[08:10] ---
    Is his master a monster?!
[08:19] ---
    Apa! They moved!
[08:20] ---
    They're both rapidly
    closing in on each other!
[08:23] ---
    Veloce! Rapidly!
[08:25] ---
    You got that right.
[08:27] ---
    I want to see it, too.
[08:42] ---
    They're getting even closer!
    They're getting even closer!
[08:44] ---
    Misterioso! Oh! Mysteriously!
[08:47] ---
    Please let me see it, too!
[08:49] ---
    Ah! Stop it!
[08:56] ---
    "Seek first to expand, and
    then seek to contract later."
[08:59] ---
    Yeah. First big, later small.
[09:03] ---
    In the fight between those who
    reached one level above the "contract,"
[09:07] ---
    rather than exchanging fists, it's more
    like a battle to take the enemy's camp.
[09:11] ---
    Indeed. It's the same as shogi or go.
[09:14] ---
    You've trained him well
    for a cram session, old man.
[09:19] ---
    In any case, that eyeglasses kid
    isn't an ordinary delinquent.
[09:23] ---
    Someone taught him
    martial arts for actual battles.
[09:25] ---
    Indeed, it does seem so.
[09:28] ---
    The movements of a man
    I know well appear and disappear.
[09:32] ---
    Oh, look. Speaking of
    the devil, he's shown up.
[09:36] ---
    What?
[09:37] ---
    There's someone there.
[09:43] ---
    Oh? So those from
    Ryozanpaku are watching, too, huh?
[09:46] ---
    Isshinsai Ogata!
[09:48] ---
    Now, my disciple and
    Ryozanpaku's disciple...
[09:52] ---
    Seeing which is stronger
    is certainly worth watching.
[09:56] ---
    Ah! Kenichi-san is fighting!
[10:00] ---
    Oh?
[10:01] ---
    Miu... Where's that
    young man with the hat?
[10:04] ---
    Huh...? Ahh!
[10:07] ---
    Apa! He's heading over there!
[10:12] ---
    Everyone! I'm coming now!
[10:15] ---
    It must hurt quite a bit, right?
[10:17] ---
    Yeah... considering that
    some of his ribs are broken.
[10:22] ---
    Ah... He's drowni... ng.
[10:29] ---
    Bravery and recklessness are
    two different things, young man!
[10:40] ---
    Close! They fight with all their
    might in such a short distance and...
[10:43] ---
    They both are evading the other's attacks.
[10:52] ---
    As expected, Ryuto is a bit better
    with the sphere of control than I am.
[10:56] ---
    Don't evade!
    Seize your enemy's territory!
[11:00] ---
    Don't fear! Go closer!
[11:02] ---
    Your enemy's side, which you might
    consider the most fearsome place,
[11:04] ---
    indeed is the only safety zone!
[11:07] ---
    Without the training Elder gave me,
[11:10] ---
    I would've already been defeated!
[11:20] ---
    Whoa!
[11:21] ---
    What an amazing battle!
[11:23] ---
    Good grief. It's just like a movie.
[11:25] ---
    Yeah. Both of them have too
    many unnecessary movements...
[11:30] ---
    ...though it's quite entertaining
    for a fight between brats.
[11:39] ---
    Struggle with all your might. I'll make
    you experience your powerlessness.
[11:44] ---
    I don't get it. What made
    you change like that? Ryuto!
[11:49] ---
    You were always kind...
    and always cheerful.
[11:53] ---
    You loved sweets.
    You taught me many things!
[11:57] ---
    And yet why?!
[12:03] ---
    Why else? It's a simple law.
[12:07] ---
    The ordinary tend to run to a lower place
[12:09] ---
    while the strong tend
    to aim at a high place.
[12:11] ---
    More importantly, you should be happy!
[12:13] ---
    What?
[12:14] ---
    When I sought strength, trained
    myself and aimed at a higher place,
[12:17] ---
    a group was formed.
[12:18] ---
    In a matter of speaking,
    our promise "to become strong"
[12:22] ---
    created a group this powerful.
[12:27] ---
    Now let me ask you something, too.
[12:30] ---
    What have you sought
    the strength all this time for?
[12:36] ---
    In order...
[12:39] ---
    ...to protect those who're precious to me...
[12:41] ---
    Hm?
[12:43] ---
    ...and to stick to my beliefs,
    I started martial arts!
[12:46] ---
    Oh... just as you'd expect
    from Ryozanpaku's disciple.
[12:52] ---
    You haven't changed, Shirahama.
[12:54] ---
    Those reasons suit a
    hypocrite like you perfectly.
[12:59] ---
    Y-You bastards! What's funny?!
[13:01] ---
    Our commander is cool!
[13:07] ---
    That's a little different, Odin.
[13:09] ---
    What?
[13:10] ---
    Don't you get it? He's an idiot... not a liar.
[13:15] ---
    Hypocrisy is to tell high
    level lies. He can't do it.
[13:20] ---
    I see... Then why don't you
    protect the ones precious to you?
[13:25] ---
    The sideshow is over. Take care of them.
[13:28] ---
    What? Oh no! Did I say
    something unnecessary?!
[13:34] ---
    Don't be afraid.
    That's just an empty threat.
[13:36] ---
    Hermit is utterly exhausted
    from the fight with Berserker.
[13:40] ---
    Tsk, so he knows.
[13:43] ---
    I'll just bring down as many as possible.
[13:46] ---
    Stop it!
[13:48] ---
    What's the matter?
    Your movements suddenly became dull.
[13:53] ---
    Martial arts exist only to destroy people.
[13:57] ---
    You can't protect anyone.
[13:59] ---
    Dammit! My body doesn't
    move the way I want it to!
[14:02] ---
    Die, you traitor!
[14:05] ---
    The damage I received from
    the fight with Berserker is really--
[14:07] ---
    Commander Hermit!
    Look out behind you!
[14:11] ---
    See, I told you.
    You couldn't protect anyone.
[14:14] ---
    Die!
[14:16] ---
    Shoot!
[14:18] ---
    Tanimoto-kun!
[14:33] ---
    Shoot!
[14:34] ---
    Tanimoto-kun!
[14:41] ---
    I won't let you do that!
[14:46] ---
    Ah, Grandpa! I thought
    you went to bring him back.
[14:50] ---
    I threw him in there.
[14:51] ---
    Ahh...
[14:53] ---
    You should be willing to be
    reckless while you're young.
[14:56] ---
    Hey, hey...
[14:57] ---
    Siegfried!
[14:59] ---
    Are you okay, Hermit?
[15:01] ---
    As long as I live, I'll protect my
    friends' beautiful melody to the end!
[15:05] ---
    Out of my way, Sieg!
    I don't need your help!
[15:08] ---
    Don't flinch! We've got
    another useless reject! That's all!
[15:21] ---
    Heroes appear when
    people least expect them, huh?
[15:24] ---
    The Shinpaku Federation
    arrives on the scene!
[15:27] ---
    What?!
[15:28] ---
    Everyone!
[15:29] ---
    Leave the rest to us!
[15:32] ---
    Take Odin down without any reserve!
[15:35] ---
    Damn small fries... I'll take
    care of them all together later.
[15:39] ---
    Don't... Don't call them small fries, Ryuto!
[15:44] ---
    Whoa... That young man
    Kenichi's aura has changed.
[15:48] ---
    A battle to protect others...
    That's when he exhibits his true abilities.
[15:53] ---
    That's the trait of our mightiest disciple!
[16:03] ---
    Ryuto Asamiya! I'll take you down!
[16:07] ---
    We can't save people
    with martial arts, you said?
[16:09] ---
    Because Kenichi-kun started
    martial arts, my life as a boxer was saved!
[16:15] ---
    Double Ultra Bolo Punch!
[16:19] ---
    Me, too!
[16:21] ---
    I was slipshod, but I was able to
    go back to Judo because of him!
[16:25] ---
    Shoulder Throw!
[16:27] ---
    He corrected the path I was taking!
[16:30] ---
    Overarm Throw!
[16:32] ---
    That's right. The melody he's clad in...
    makes the surrounding sounds change!
[16:37] ---
    And andante...
[16:39] ---
    That's right! Slowly, we became friends!
[16:43] ---
    Hmph! Who cares!
[16:52] ---
    How stupid...
[16:55] ---
    You can't understand friendship, can you?
[16:59] ---
    How am I supposed to understand
    something that doesn't exist?
[17:07] ---
    Kouho!
[17:09] ---
    He smoothly got to my side.
    I guess I'll step back.
[17:13] ---
    Ah...!
[17:16] ---
    Haiho!
[17:18] ---
    Ah! That's the first technique I taught him!
[17:23] ---
    This is called "kouho" when
    we bring the toes together.
[17:27] ---
    And "haiho" is when you pivot outwards.
[17:30] ---
    The key is how you move your feet.
[17:32] ---
    The right foot,
    which I stepped forward with,
[17:34] ---
    becomes the back foot
    after using it to pivot my body.
[17:37] ---
    In other words, like this.
[17:42] ---
    --Odin got knocked down...?!
    --All right!
[17:44] ---
    Good job, Kenichi-kun! Keep it up!
[17:51] ---
    Take off your glasses.
[17:54] ---
    I'm gonna straighten you out now!
[17:57] ---
    I don't want to make you blind.
    Take off your glasses, Ryuto!
[18:04] ---
    Kenichi Shirahama-kun, huh? I like him.
[18:09] ---
    But... I wonder if he
    met my disciple too soon.
[18:13] ---
    He'll probably be destroyed.
[18:17] ---
    How regrettable...
[18:22] ---
    You aren't too bad, Kenichi.
[18:26] ---
    I'm glad.
[18:28] ---
    Are you really sure it's okay
    for me to take off my glasses?
[18:34] ---
    What?
[18:40] ---
    You'll end up learning why
    I'm called Odin the hard way.
[18:47] ---
    What? He's supposed to
    be extremely nearsighted.
[18:50] ---
    Can he fight without his glasses?
[18:52] ---
    Is he going to try something?
[18:54] ---
    Then I just won't show any opening!
[19:09] ---
    What's this feeling?! It's as if my fists
    are being sucked into his hands!
[19:14] ---
    What's going on?!
[19:15] ---
    All of my thrusts are being restrained
    even before I put my force into them!
[19:20] ---
    It's like he's... predicting all my attacks!
[19:29] ---
    Odin...
[19:31] ---
    Here it is. This is it!
[19:33] ---
    The chief god in Norse mythology.
[19:35] ---
    He travels around the world
    in the form of an old man,
[19:37] ---
    carrying a spear
    that never misses its target...
[19:40] ---
    Ahh! Blah-blah-blah!
[19:42] ---
    In exchange for one of his eyes,
    he drank from Mimir's wisdom well
[19:46] ---
    and gained the power of prediction
    that sees through everything.
[19:50] ---
    Prediction...
[19:52] ---
    Don't tell me...!
[19:56] ---
    In this world, there're things that
    you start to see if you try not to see.
[20:02] ---
    "The mind's eye," huh?
[20:04] ---
    Yeah. He's still young
    but he's trained very well.
[20:07] ---
    "The mind's eye"?
[20:10] ---
    For ages it's been said
[20:12] ---
    "Focus to see with the mind's eye,
    rather than with the eyes."
[20:14] ---
    "The Mind's Eye"
[20:14] ---
    The mind's eye means
    objectivity and externality...
[20:16] ---
    In other words, it means taking
    in the view of things as a whole.
[20:19] ---
    In a high level battle, how you
    see things becomes very important.
[20:24] ---
    Not just seeing the surface,
[20:26] ---
    but "discerning" your enemy's movements
[20:29] ---
    based on their shifts
    in weight and breathing.
[20:32] ---
    I see an opening!
[20:33] ---
    See? I predicted just now
    that you'd turn around!
[20:36] ---
    That's an example of
    how you shouldn't use it.
[20:38] ---
    Dammit! How about now?!
[20:40] ---
    You've increased the speed of your
    attacks, huh? Good kicks... and thrusts.
[20:43] ---
    If you were fighting an ordinary
    delinquent, he'd be defeated instantly.
[20:46] ---
    But it's no use. Now my sphere
    of control has become complete.
[20:51] ---
    Your attacks only
    slice nothing but air in vain.
[20:54] ---
    Dammit! Take this! And this! And this!
[20:57] ---
    Your attacks are monotonous.
[20:59] ---
    W-Wait... Kenichi's attacks are all
    being predicted, which means...
[21:03] ---
    This isn't good, Kenichi!
[21:05] ---
    I'm gonna start attacking now, too.
[21:13] ---
    Can't be...! I'm sure I evaded it!
[21:16] ---
    What's going on?! His thrusts
    are coming through my defense!
[21:24] ---
    Gungnir!
[21:36] ---
    Gungnir...!
[21:37] ---
    The spear carried by Odin
    that never misses its target...
[21:40] ---
    This guy is crazy! He foresees
    Kenichi's evading movements and attacks.
[21:45] ---
    Thrusts that never miss...
[21:47] ---
    What do you think about Gungnir's thrusts?
[22:11] ---
    Come to think of it, we used to
    play heroes in a place like this.
[22:17] ---
    Yeah. You always
    wanted to play the hero...
[22:21] ---
    ...so you forced me to play the villain.
[22:25] ---
    Then I'll make an exception today and...
[22:29] ---
    ...I'll be the villain!
[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
[24:06] ---
    I've discerned all of your attacks!
[24:08] ---
    Then, what about the attacks by others?!
[24:11] ---
    What?!
[24:11] ---
    Apa! Apapapapapapapa! Apa!
[24:16] ---
    The rhythm of his attacks suddenly changed!
[24:19] ---
    Come on!
[24:21] ---
    Kosaka Style, Degraded Peeling Cu... t!
[24:25] ---
    You'll physically go to Hell.
[24:28] ---
    Kenichi... What're you trying to do?
[24:30] ---
    Take this! Achooo!
[24:36] ---
