**[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] ---**
