[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
[01:42] ---
    Those three are pretty good.
[01:45] ---
    Koga's kicks.
[01:48] ---
    Ukita's throwing moves.
[01:50] ---
    And...
[01:56] ---
    Takeda's punches.
[01:58] ---
    I guess Kenichi is
    no match against them...
[02:02] ---
    Damn, it just started
    getting interesting...
[02:05] ---
    Hmm?
[02:06] ---
    The delinquent group. Ragnarok, huh?
[02:08] ---
    They're just the new emerging power,
    but I guess the future belongs to them.
[02:26] ---
    Good, good! Seems like
    they're doing just fine today!
[02:30] ---
    Izumi-san?
[02:31] ---
    You just seem so lively when
    you come to the gardening club.
[02:36] ---
    What? Of course!
[02:39] ---
    This is the only place where
    I can feel safe and be at peace!
[02:42] ---
    This is just like a paradise!
[02:45] ---
    You don't have to get
    so worked up about it...
[02:47] ---
    Because... Because I'm being
    targeted by the delinquent group
[02:50] ---
    whether I'm at school or not.
[02:52] ---
    On top of that, I've been
    spending my days going through
[02:53] ---
    hellish training at Ryozanpaku...
[02:55] ---
    I bet that I'm much better
    than you in a fight!
[02:59] ---
    You're evil!
[03:06] ---
    Apa!
[03:08] ---
    But, good things happen
    every now and then, too!
[03:11] ---
    There! There! There!
[03:15] ---
    More! More!
[03:18] ---
    That's why I just can't quit!
[03:23] ---
    You know what, Shirahama-kun?
[03:24] ---
    What?
[03:25] ---
    I've heard rumors about you
    being the strongest and meanest
[03:28] ---
    delinquent in the school.
[03:30] ---
    But you're normally
    a mild-mannered person,
[03:33] ---
    who likes gardening
    and has an alien friend.
[03:36] ---
    You really are interesting.
[03:39] ---
    But I think I already told
    you before that the devil,
[03:41] ---
    who's wearing an alien mask
    is not my friend at all...
[03:47] ---
    What's the matter?
[03:49] ---
    No... I thought I just
    sensed an evil aura,
[03:52] ---
    but I guess that was
    just my imagination.
[03:55] ---
    I'll tell you this at least, Kenichi.
[03:58] ---
    All the guys you've defeated
    so far are less than small flies.
[04:01] ---
    Compared to these
    three guys of Ragnarok...
[04:06] ---
    Hmm...
[04:06] ---
    "Shirahama's Plant"
[04:08] ---
    Has your "Snowman King"
    grown any bigger?
[04:11] ---
    No, I've been taking care of it
    because I like its name,
[04:14] ---
    but it hasn't grown at all...
[04:16] ---
    All the other ones have
    gotten big though...
[04:17] ---
    Should we try to use
    different bog moss?
[04:20] ---
    I guess some are slow-growing
    ones, even in the plant world, huh?
[04:24] ---
    --What?
    --No, I meant that they're really trying hard.
[04:28] ---
    It's not like I'm slacking off!
    Please don't say that I have no talent!
[04:33] ---
    No.
[04:35] ---
    Apachai-san! It's still too early
    for me to learn a technique like that!
[04:38] ---
    H-Hello?
[04:40] ---
    S-Sorry! I was just relating to
    what this plant must be feeling...
[04:45] ---
    You must really like this orchid.
[04:48] ---
    Maybe I can relate
    to that plant as well.
[04:52] ---
    I mean, I am kind of slow, you know.
[04:53] ---
    No matter what I do,
    other people seem to do it better.
[04:56] ---
    What? Really? That's unexpected.
[04:59] ---
    But maybe there are those
    that will never amount to much,
[05:02] ---
    no matter how much you attend to them.
[05:11] ---
    Not good! Not good!
[05:12] ---
    If you stick out your shoulder that much,
    your opponent will grab it and throw you!
[05:16] ---
    And always keep your crotch guarded
    by keeping your thighs closed!
[05:21] ---
    Hmm... Something's just not right.
[05:25] ---
    There! There! There!
[05:27] ---
    --You moron!
    --There! There!
[05:28] ---
    --Don't just do it in any kind of way!
    --There! There!
[05:31] ---
    Listen. Use your guard fist to cover
    yourself and think of the striking fist
[05:34] ---
    and guard fists as being
    connected by a string. Like this!
[05:40] ---
    --See?
    --I can't do that!
[05:43] ---
    First of all, what's up
    with these insane muscles?
[05:46] ---
    Do you call these arms for real?
[05:48] ---
    --Sakaki-san!
    --This is the same size as my waist!
[05:49] ---
    --Stop breaking stuff everywhere!
    --This is the same size as my waist!
[05:51] ---
    --Stop breaking stuff everywhere!
    --Punching isn't just about using your muscles.
[05:51] ---
    --Punching isn't just about using your muscles.
[05:54] ---
    Hey, Miu!
[05:55] ---
    Were you even listening to me?
[05:59] ---
    Oh, boy...
[06:00] ---
    As far as arm muscle strength goes,
    Miu is actually weaker than you. But...
[06:10] ---
    How many hits did you just see?
[06:13] ---
    Th-That was incredible!
    That was three.
[06:15] ---
    In just a second, Miu-san...
[06:18] ---
    Idiot! That was six!
[06:19] ---
    What?
[06:23] ---
    Thank for your attention.
[06:25] ---
    In karate, there is the "Nahate,"
    which emphasizes muscle strength
[06:28] ---
    and shifting one's weight to strike,
    and there's the "Shurite,"
[06:30] ---
    which emphasizes the speed
    of the fists when striking.
[06:33] ---
    You must be able to manipulate
    both in order to master karate,
[06:35] ---
    but you should first
    learn the "Shurite."
[06:38] ---
    Now, in order to make
    those punches fly faster,
[06:41] ---
    I'll show you some
    Chinese style training methods.
[06:43] ---
    You stay out of it! I'm the one
    who's training him right now!
[06:46] ---
    But, look! It's my turn now!
[06:49] ---
    Damn! It's already that time?
[06:52] ---
    You're not good at teaching.
[06:54] ---
    You have to think about how
    to divide your time, too.
[06:56] ---
    All right, Miu, you come over here.
[06:59] ---
    I don't want to! Because you
    always do nasty things to me!
[07:04] ---
    I don't feel like doing this anymore...
[07:06] ---
    Please take this more seriously!
[07:10] ---
    Now, hold your arms up like this.
[07:12] ---
    Huh? L-Like this?
[07:14] ---
    Next, you switch your shoulders,
[07:16] ---
    then swing your arms
    from down low to high up.
[07:19] ---
    You relax your arms completely
    and swing them freely.
[07:24] ---
    You alternate those arms as you walk.
[07:27] ---
    --That's right.
    --Okay...
[07:29] ---
    It should feel like your
    joints are stretching
[07:31] ---
    and your arms feel
    like they'll fly off.
[07:33] ---
    Um, how am I supposed to defeat an
    opponent by doing something like this?
[07:38] ---
    What makes you think you
    can defeat anyone with that?
[07:40] ---
    What? Then why are you
    teaching me stuff like that?
[07:43] ---
    Take it easy, take it easy.
    There's an order to everything you do.
[07:47] ---
    Anyway, keep doing that
    as you make a circuit.
[07:51] ---
    What? You mean, around the garden?
[07:52] ---
    Around the neighborhood!
[07:54] ---
    Seriously?
[07:55] ---
    Try to swing your hip,
    not your arms.
[07:57] ---
    No cheating! Good luck to you!
[08:01] ---
    I wonder what he's doing... Strange...
[08:06] ---
    This is rather more
    embarrassing than tough...
[08:12] ---
    Miu-san!
[08:13] ---
    You're not very familiar with
    this neighborhood, are you?
[08:16] ---
    You might end up getting
    lost, so I'll come with you.
[08:19] ---
    Do you have any idea
    what this is for?
[08:22] ---
    You're practicing how
    to loosen up your muscles.
[08:24] ---
    "How to loosen up your muscles"?
[08:25] ---
    When you swing your arm in
    one direction as hard as you can,
[08:29] ---
    you can't help but put strength
    in the other direction as well.
[08:33] ---
    That's because there's a limit
    designed to protect your joints.
[08:37] ---
    You could say that there is
    a sort of psychological limit.
[08:39] ---
    So, this is a way to
    break through that limit?
[08:42] ---
    Right. So it's important to imagine,
[08:45] ---
    as best you can, your arms
    flinging ever further away.
[08:48] ---
    In theory, as you make
    these large swings smaller,
[08:51] ---
    they gradually turn
    into striking moves.
[08:53] ---
    Is that true?
[08:56] ---
    You look like you're having
    some fun, Kenichi Shirahama-kun!
[09:00] ---
    Huh?
[09:00] ---
    I sure am lucky! To run into
    you at a place like this!
[09:06] ---
    If I remember correctly,
[09:07] ---
    he's the one from that gang group
    called Ragnarok or something...
[09:10] ---
    He must be one of
    the three guys from that time!
[09:17] ---
    I am Taichi Koga. Will you
    come with me for a second?
[09:21] ---
    Takeda-san asked me
    to bring you to him.
[09:25] ---
    Oh!
[09:29] ---
    The girl with a big forehead
    back there! You've got big boobs!
[09:33] ---
    You really make me jealous,
    Shirahama-kun.
[09:37] ---
    You sure have a cute girlfriend.
[09:40] ---
    I'm not his girlfriend!
    We're just friends!
[09:43] ---
    She denied it emphatically...
[09:45] ---
    Besides... Besides they're not big!
[09:48] ---
    Takeda-san just asked me
    to bring you, but...
[09:53] ---
    I have decided something,
    Shirahama-kun.
[09:54] ---
    I'm going to beat you up
    and make her my girlfriend!
[09:58] ---
    What the hell is his problem?
[09:59] ---
    Don't just decide stuff like that!
[10:01] ---
    And I'll deliver you to Takeda-san
    in the form of a rag doll!
[10:07] ---
    We're surrounded!
[10:09] ---
    Aww, this is not good.
[10:11] ---
    There are nine of them!
[10:13] ---
    Yeah, Miu-san is with me,
[10:14] ---
    but there are this many
    and they're all carrying weapons!
[10:17] ---
    We both are going to be
    beaten up pretty badly...
[10:19] ---
    All right. Now you can't escape.
[10:25] ---
    I was wondering what all this
    commotion was about over here.
[10:30] ---
    Yo, Kenichi!
[10:32] ---
    Nice atmosphere, isn't it?
[10:34] ---
    Sakaki-sensei!
[10:36] ---
    Lucky you. Seems like
    you guys are having fun.
[10:38] ---
    Thank goodness!
[10:40] ---
    He called me a big forehead!
[10:43] ---
    Who the hell are you? Die!
[10:57] ---
    Whoa! What the...
[10:58] ---
    He struck him down
    just by glaring at him!
[11:01] ---
    Kenichi!
[11:02] ---
    Y-Yes!
[11:04] ---
    This guy is not a human! I knew it!
[11:08] ---
    Keep your legs together.
[11:10] ---
    That's the proper striking pose.
[11:12] ---
    Yeah. Good.
[11:15] ---
    Apachai was looking for you.
    You'd better go back soon.
[11:20] ---
    What?
[11:23] ---
    H-Hey, wait!
[11:25] ---
    Y-You're leaving?
[11:29] ---
    Sensei, help me!
[11:35] ---
    Die!
[11:50] ---
    Die!
[11:54] ---
    Kenichi-san!
[11:57] ---
    Don't you move.
[11:59] ---
    Koga-san is scary.
    He'll kill you if you interrupt.
[12:02] ---
    Anyway, you're really cute,
    you know that?
[12:05] ---
    Oops, my hand slipped.
[12:09] ---
    You're going to regret this!
[12:12] ---
    Crap! After Sakaki-sensei told me
    so many times how important it is
[12:16] ---
    to make the first blow!
[12:19] ---
    I can't believe I got hit
    while not paying attention!
[12:21] ---
    I need to somehow land a hit, too!
[12:25] ---
    Take that! Huh?
[12:27] ---
    How about this?
[12:28] ---
    Yamazuki!
[12:32] ---
    I am Taichi Koga of the kicks!
    Haven't you heard of me?
[12:35] ---
    Shirahama-kun, you move too slowly!
[12:38] ---
    I can't land my punches!
[12:41] ---
    You're weak! It must've been
    a fluke that you beat Tsukuba!
[12:46] ---
    The Ragnarok doesn't need
    anyone as weak as you!
[12:50] ---
    Wait a minute!
[13:03] ---
    Wh-What is it?
[13:10] ---
    What the heck is that?
[13:12] ---
    Let's see... Relax my arms
    and swing my hip...
[13:16] ---
    Move my arms like they're about
    to be pulled out of their joints...
[13:20] ---
    And when I make the swings smaller...
[13:24] ---
    I don't understand what
    the hell you're doing!
[13:26] ---
    They become sharp and fast thrusts!
[13:35] ---
    Damn it! It only
    brushed against his chin!
[13:37] ---
    Heh! You missed!
[13:47] ---
    Huh?
[13:51] ---
    I fell down!
[13:55] ---
    Crap... Did it shake my brain
    when it touched my chin?
[13:59] ---
    Guys, get him! Kill this guy!
[14:09] ---
    Huh!
[14:11] ---
    Oh, no... I forgot to
    leave some for Kenichi-san.
[14:17] ---
    Sh-She's a monster!
[14:19] ---
    What?
[14:20] ---
    Help me!
[14:24] ---
    He called me a "monster"!
[14:26] ---
    I think he meant "fairy."
    Because you were moving so gracefully!
[14:30] ---
    No! He said "monster"!
[14:33] ---
    Anyway, let's go back.
[14:35] ---
    Man, she sure is extreme when
    it comes to certain things...
[14:38] ---
    "Ryozanpaku"
[14:40] ---
    Did you hear that, Kensei?
[14:42] ---
    Oww...
[14:43] ---
    Just like I predicted,
    he defeated the leader of the group!
[14:47] ---
    I had absolutely no doubt in my mind
    that you could do it, though!
[14:49] ---
    Oh, right...
[14:51] ---
    Sure. He was so worried
    about Ken-chan earlier,
[14:53] ---
    he couldn't stop pacing
    around the house.
[14:57] ---
    I'm sure it was my
    straight punch and blocks
[14:59] ---
    that came in handy in the fight, right?
[15:02] ---
    What? Y-Yeah, of course...
[15:07] ---
    I just couldn't bring myself
    to tell him that
[15:09] ---
    it was the striking method that Ma-sensei
    taught me that just happened to
[15:12] ---
    hit the guy's chin by a fluke...
[15:14] ---
    Huh? Oh yeah,
    Apachai has been bummed out,
[15:17] ---
    saying that he didn't have
    time to train you today
[15:20] ---
    because you didn't come
    home for a long time.
[15:22] ---
    Oh, I'm so sorry, Apachai-san.
[15:24] ---
    I got picked on by this strange group
    of people on the way back here.
[15:27] ---
    You can give me a special training
    next time I spend the night here!
[15:29] ---
    That's okay. I was doing
    my coloring books...
[15:32] ---
    Oh, no...
[15:38] ---
    Didn't I ask you to bring
    Kenichi Shirahama to me?
[15:43] ---
    It's not what you think, Kisara!
[15:45] ---
    I accidentally ran into him on the street,
    so I was going to bring him over here!
[15:48] ---
    But he's got this girlfriend with
    a big forehead and a nice body.
[15:51] ---
    So, I got a little jealous and thought
    that I should kick his ass for it.
[15:54] ---
    But this big-foreheaded girl
    turned out to be a monster and...
[15:57] ---
    What is he talking about?
[15:59] ---
    Beats me...
[16:02] ---
    At any rate, Kisara-sama's
    orders are absolute.
[16:04] ---
    Takeda, you three make sure
    to do whatever it takes
[16:07] ---
    to bring Kenichi Shirahama to her.
[16:09] ---
    Understood?
[16:11] ---
    Got it.
[16:12] ---
    I'm telling you! She's a monster!
    That big-foreheaded girl--
[16:16] ---
    Kenichi Shirahama... Sounds like
    there's more to this guy than I thought.
[16:24] ---
    Too slow! Don't think of
    defense and offense separately!
[16:28] ---
    Use your entire body to
    learn two moves as one form!
[16:34] ---
    Damn! You're not getting
    any better at all, are you?
[16:38] ---
    I thought you defeated the leader of
    the gang with the technique I taught you!
[16:41] ---
    Actually that's not what
    happened... That was simply...
[16:45] ---
    Hey, Miu, next time
    you notice his guard is too soft,
[16:48] ---
    just go ahead and kill him!
[16:50] ---
    Sakaki-san...
[16:51] ---
    I'm so sorry...
    I'm such a slow learner!
[16:58] ---
    That's right. Kenichi, you make
    a circle there, then take Miu's hand.
[17:03] ---
    Oh, the hand you've got on
    her upper arm is weak!
[17:07] ---
    Normally, you would pull on that upper
    arm and drag her backwards, but...
[17:11] ---
    If you don't have a firm grasp there...
[17:14] ---
    --Miu.
    --Yes.
[17:17] ---
    That's what happens.
[17:18] ---
    Well, you can take
    your time and learn.
[17:21] ---
    Am I hopeless?
    I haven't made any progress?
[17:25] ---
    I don't think that's the case at all!
[17:28] ---
    There he is!
[17:29] ---
    Apaaaaa!
[17:30] ---
    Stay away from me!
[17:37] ---
    My throwing deities...
[17:39] ---
    What are those?
[17:42] ---
    Kenichi-kun's fear must've ignited
    Apachai's wild side... I think...
[17:48] ---
    Well, I guess that's
    a good training as well.
[17:50] ---
    He can get a feel for many of
    Apachai's techniques that way.
[17:53] ---
    I see. Observing is also
    a part of training, huh?
[17:56] ---
    Go away!
[18:03] ---
    This is not good... I haven't
    made any progress lately...
[18:07] ---
    I know better than anyone that
    what happened then was just a fluke.
[18:13] ---
    You don't need to be
    so depressed about it.
[18:16] ---
    Kenichi-san, I know you
    have been working very hard.
[18:18] ---
    Are you trying to
    make me feel better?
[18:20] ---
    Yes.
[18:21] ---
    Miu-san is a very honest person,
    so she never lies...
[18:25] ---
    That's why I'm really hurt right now...
[18:30] ---
    I'm going to the gardening club.
[18:32] ---
    Oh, no...
[18:35] ---
    According to the latest information,
[18:37] ---
    those three guys aren't
    the only ones who are after you.
[18:41] ---
    There's one more wild beast
    that's trying to track you down.
[18:50] ---
    Wh-What is this?
[18:52] ---
    Shirahama-kun...
[18:55] ---
    Yo, Shirahama-kun! Long time no see!
[18:58] ---
    Y-You are...
[19:00] ---
    Have you been working your muscles?
[19:02] ---
    Daimonji-kun!
[19:04] ---
    Here!
[19:05] ---
    How could you do this?!
[19:07] ---
    We haven't settled
    our last fight properly.
[19:10] ---
    I can't accept that
    you beat me by a fluke!
[19:21] ---
    Besides, you beat sub-captain
    Tsukuba, didn't you?
[19:24] ---
    Now, I wonder how I'd look if I defeated
    the one that defeated the sub-captain,
[19:28] ---
    who's the strongest in the karate club!
[19:33] ---
    I am number one!
[19:35] ---
    And if it all goes well,
    they'll let me join the Ragnarok!
[19:39] ---
    I don't give a damn
    about your stupid plan!
[19:42] ---
    First, I want you to
    release Izumi-san!
[19:45] ---
    Only if you promise not to run away!
[19:48] ---
    I won't run away.
[19:49] ---
    Fine!
[19:51] ---
    Now, you answer me this.
    Why did you do this to the plants?
[19:55] ---
    Plants?
[19:56] ---
    I am asking you a question!
    Answer me!
[19:58] ---
    We had nothing better to do while
    we were waiting for you. That's all!
[20:03] ---
    That's awful!
[20:05] ---
    But don't you worry!
    Your favorite is still alive!
[20:11] ---
    But why would you want to grow
    some pathetic little plant like this?
[20:14] ---
    Stop it!
[20:15] ---
    The ones that are no good
    will never be good
[20:18] ---
    no matter how much effort
    you put into them!
[20:25] ---
    You'd feel much better
    if you destroy it at once!
[20:33] ---
    Shut up!
[20:38] ---
    Huh? When did he...
    You son of a...
[20:43] ---
    N-No way! He moved in a split second!
[20:46] ---
    D-Die!
[21:06] ---
    Unbelievable...
[21:11] ---
    I'm sorry... It's all my fault!
[21:17] ---
    Let's clean it up.
[21:18] ---
    We need to re-pot the ones
    that still can be saved.
[21:20] ---
    O-Okay.
[21:23] ---
    Oh, this orchid is
    not going to make it.
[21:25] ---
    This is terrible...
[21:26] ---
    I'm sorry, Snowball King!
[21:29] ---
    But let's re-pot it for now.
[21:34] ---
    A few days later...
[21:37] ---
    Shirahama-kun!
[21:38] ---
    Izumi-san?
[21:40] ---
    Look at this!
    There's a new leaf coming out!
[21:42] ---
    You did it, buddy!
[21:44] ---
    You're small, but you've got
    persistence of a heavy weight!
[21:47] ---
    I guess an orchid that grows slowly but
    with a thick stem is a lot more durable
[21:50] ---
    than an orchid that grows fast and thin!
[21:54] ---
    That's right.
[21:55] ---
    Just because it may
    be slow at growing,
[21:57] ---
    it doesn't mean that it
    shows no progress at all.
[22:01] ---
    I saw all of Daimonji-kun's moves
    like they were in slow motion.
[22:06] ---
    It may only be in small steps,
    but clearly I am improving for sure!
[22:11] ---
    I can do this!
[22:14] ---
    Be careful!
[22:19] ---
    Kenichi-san, you sure are fired up!
[22:22] ---
    Yes!
[22:23] ---
    I'm going to work as hard as
    I can, just like my Snowman King!
[22:27] ---
    "Snowman"?
[22:40] ---
    Even if it's hidden by rain
[22:48] ---
    The sun must be there
[22:59] ---
    I had even lost a dream
[23:06] ---
    I will never forget
    the smile that gave me courage
[23:18] ---
    I keep on believing because I have you
[23:25] ---
    Light starts flowing out of my heart
[23:36] ---
    Just like a flower
    with no name on the street
[23:45] ---
    When I stumble and fall
[23:54] ---
    I will get up on my own
[24:06] ---
    Those Ragnarok guys are getting
    more and more extreme day by day!
[24:09] ---
    They even had some weapons today.
[24:12] ---
    There's no way I can go up
    against them bare-handed.
[24:14] ---
    So what am I supposed to do?
[24:15] ---
    Shigure-san told me she'd
    show me how to deal with weapons,
[24:18] ---
    but I bet something even worse
    than Ragnarok will happen to me!
[24:23] ---
    I'm scared! I don't wanna do this!
[24:26] ---
    Kenichi, don't be scared.
    Or you'll lose what's above your neck.
[24:32] ---
    Help me!
