**[00:27] ---**
Coming across the sea, from a distant land
in the east, he shall appear.
**[00:35] ---**
A young man, unaware of his own strength.
**[00:41] ---**
A strength that can both destroy him,
**[00:43] ---**
and bring his dreams to fruition.
**[00:54] ---**
When he is ready, he will seek me.
**[00:59] ---**
We will traverse this barren road together.
**[01:03] ---**
As it was written upon the
stars, from long, long ago.
**[01:13] ---**
A dragon will rise from the earth, conjuring
dark clouds to blot out the heavens.
**[01:19] ---**
A phoenix will descend from
above, delivering purple winds with a flap of its wings.
**[01:31] ---**
Yet even as the sky is devoured by darkness,
**[01:34] ---**
a single morning star
radiates its bright light.
**[01:41] ---**
That long, winding tale shall now...
**[01:44] ---**
begin.
**[01:47] ---**
November, 1986
Yokosuka
**[01:52] ---**
Hazuki
**[02:00] ---**
Okay, time to go.
**[02:01] ---**
Hazuki
**[02:01] ---**
Good luck, Ryo-san! I can't make it to
the fight, but I just know you'll win!
**[02:07] ---**
They'll be a celebratory
meal ready when you return.
**[02:10] ---**
Please, it's not such a big deal.
**[02:13] ---**
It most certainly is.
**[02:15] ---**
She's right! This match is gonna
be your ticket into university!
**[02:20] ---**
Knock 'em silly!
**[02:22] ---**
Right.
**[02:27] ---**
These are some nice fish you've got.
**[02:29] ---**
Thank you.
**[02:31] ---**
Yamagishi-san! Good morning.
**[02:34] ---**
Hello, Ryo-kun.
**[02:36] ---**
You've got a tournament today, yes?
**[02:38] ---**
Stay focused.
**[02:40] ---**
Thank you for your guidance.
**[02:41] ---**
Ryo... it's still not enough.
**[02:45] ---**
You are lacking. Keep that in mind.
**[02:50] ---**
I can never make sense of your advice.
**[02:53] ---**
I'm off.
**[02:54] ---**
Stay safe.
**[02:56] ---**
Right. I will.
**[03:00] ---**
Meanwhile...
**[03:03] ---**
Bailu Village, Guilin
**[03:12] ---**
Good morning.
**[03:16] ---**
Look. In the eastern sky...
**[03:24] ---**
Ippon!
**[03:28] ---**
The 1986 Kanagawa Prefectural
High School Karate Tournament
**[03:31] ---**
Amazing, man! At this rate, we'll
actually win the whole thing!
**[03:35] ---**
Asking Hazuki to help us
out was a stroke of genius!
**[03:38] ---**
But his final opponent is going
to be the reigning champion...
**[03:43] ---**
What's the name of that school
I'm up against in the final match?
**[03:47] ---**
Pretty sure it was "Dweeb
High"...or something?
**[03:50] ---**
Never heard of it!
**[03:53] ---**
'Cuz it came out of nowhere after that kid
from Hazuki Dojo or whatever joined them.
**[03:57] ---**
I hear they're just a bunch of noobs.
**[03:59] ---**
Oh yeah? It can't be much of a
dojo if I haven't heard of it.
**[04:02] ---**
No sweat, I'll swat him like a fly.
**[04:05] ---**
Hazuki!
**[04:08] ---**
A word, please.
**[04:11] ---**
Yes?
**[04:12] ---**
Don't let them bother you. Just keep
your head clear and you can win this.
**[04:17] ---**
Maintain self-control.
**[04:19] ---**
I know.
**[04:25] ---**
Bow to each other!
**[04:27] ---**
Stand ready!
**[04:31] ---**
Begin!
**[04:38] ---**
W-with a single blow...
**[04:40] ---**
It's not your fault. Nobody has ever managed
to land a punch on me in a match before.
**[04:49] ---**
Ippon!
**[04:50] ---**
All right!
**[05:06] ---**
Sweet! This calls for a big celebration!
**[05:09] ---**
No alcohol now, boys.
**[05:12] ---**
We're just going for a bite to eat, teach.
**[05:15] ---**
Sorry, guys. I'm gonna pass, I've
got training this evening.
**[05:18] ---**
Training?! Even today?!
**[05:20] ---**
Yeah, and besides, Ine-san's
cooked a special meal for me.
**[05:23] ---**
Okay. Well, see you at school.
**[05:26] ---**
Yeah, you bet!
**[05:28] ---**
Later, man!
**[05:30] ---**
Yokosuka Appreciation Sale
**[05:35] ---**
And your drink is on the house!
**[05:38] ---**
Yay!
**[05:39] ---**
They look so good!
**[05:40] ---**
Thanks so much, Tom!
**[05:42] ---**
Chow down, ladies!
**[05:44] ---**
Let's dig in!
**[05:46] ---**
Hey! Karate boy!
**[05:48] ---**
I've got yet another hot dog
with your name on it today!
**[05:52] ---**
You know it's delicious!
**[05:54] ---**
Sorry, gotta get to practice.
**[05:56] ---**
Oh! Sorry, man! Peace!
**[06:01] ---**
Snow?
**[06:02] ---**
Well, it is pretty cold today.
**[06:04] ---**
Stop that!
**[06:06] ---**
Don't you have anything better to do
than torment children? You jerks!
**[06:10] ---**
Now hold on, this brat here
ruined Enoki-san's ice cream.
**[06:14] ---**
And Enoki-san loves ice cream!
**[06:18] ---**
You should be ashamed of yourselves.
**[06:20] ---**
What'd you say?! Better
watch yourself, little lady!
**[06:23] ---**
You think that I'm afraid of you?
**[06:26] ---**
You're pushing your luck!
**[06:28] ---**
Miss!
**[06:29] ---**
Harasaki, what's going on here?
**[06:32] ---**
Hazuki-kun!
**[06:33] ---**
What? You want a piece of this, Hazuki?!
**[06:36] ---**
It's your call.
**[06:38] ---**
Bring it.
**[06:40] ---**
You're just asking for a world of hurt!
**[06:46] ---**
Damn you!
**[06:56] ---**
Enoki-san...
**[07:01] ---**
Let's scram.
**[07:01] ---**
R-right.
**[07:02] ---**
Thanks a bunch, mister! And miss!
**[07:06] ---**
Be careful on your way home.
**[07:07] ---**
Okay!
**[07:09] ---**
Goodbye!
**[07:12] ---**
Harasaki, did you get any dirt on you?
**[07:14] ---**
Here, use this.
**[07:16] ---**
Thank you.
**[07:17] ---**
Sorry to be a bother. I'll
borrow this for a bit.
**[07:19] ---**
Sure. Later!
**[07:35] ---**
HAZUKI
DOJO
**[07:58] ---**
Ine-san! Ine-san!!
**[08:00] ---**
Are you okay, Ine-san?!
**[08:03] ---**
Ryo-san... don't worry about me.
**[08:06] ---**
It's the master who's in trouble!
**[08:10] ---**
My father?!
**[08:20] ---**
Fuku-san!
**[08:34] ---**
Father!
**[08:35] ---**
Stay back, Ryo.
**[08:44] ---**
For the last time. Where is the mirror?
**[08:48] ---**
I will never say.
**[08:55] ---**
Father!
**[08:57] ---**
You bastard!
**[09:08] ---**
You are not ready to fight me.
**[09:13] ---**
What is your reply?
**[09:15] ---**
Same as it will always be.
**[09:18] ---**
Very well...
**[09:23] ---**
Then you leave me no choice.
**[09:26] ---**
No!
**[09:28] ---**
Give me the mirror.
**[09:30] ---**
Otherwise, I'll take your son's life...
**[09:35] ---**
Wait!
**[09:37] ---**
The mirror... is under the
cherry tree outside...
**[09:50] ---**
Do you remember Sunming Zhao?
**[09:55] ---**
That is the name of the man you killed.
**[09:58] ---**
Then... you must be...
**[10:02] ---**
Come.
**[10:04] ---**
I'll allow you to meet death like a warrior.
**[10:26] ---**
Father...
**[10:29] ---**
Master Lan! We have it!
**[10:35] ---**
We're finished here.
**[10:39] ---**
Father! C'mon, hang in there!
**[10:42] ---**
Forgive me. You must carry on alone...
**[10:46] ---**
No, what are you saying!
**[10:49] ---**
Keep friends... th-those
you love... close to you...
**[10:55] ---**
What? Father?! Father!
**[10:59] ---**
Father!
**[11:11] ---**
There's one more mirror
left. Find it immediately.
**[11:15] ---**
Sir.
**[11:18] ---**
Master Lan seeks... another
mirror. There is one more.
**[11:27] ---**
Some Days Later
**[11:36] ---**
Perseverance
**[11:52] ---**
These are all the people that Hazuki-sensei
associated with before his passing...
**[11:57] ---**
Very much appreciated. We
will treat them with care.
**[12:00] ---**
Please do everything you can.
**[12:03] ---**
Of course, please excuse us.
**[12:09] ---**
What good is gonna come of that?
**[12:12] ---**
Are any of those documents really going
**[12:15] ---**
to lead the police to the guys that did this?
**[12:18] ---**
Ryo-san...
**[12:19] ---**
Fuku-san, what's going on? Who were they?
**[12:22] ---**
I don't know, honestly...
**[12:25] ---**
I have to find out! How could
this happen to my father?
**[12:29] ---**
Who exactly are these people? And
why did they... kill him?
**[12:35] ---**
Ryo-san! Do you truly intend
to pursue this on your own?
**[12:41] ---**
That would be exposing
yourself to great danger.
**[12:44] ---**
Your father would not have wished for that.
**[12:47] ---**
She's right. I mean, you're
just about to start university!
**[12:50] ---**
You have a bright future
ahead of you, Ryo-san.
**[12:53] ---**
Besides, those guys are
way out of our league.
**[12:55] ---**
They're too much for amateurs like us.
**[12:58] ---**
The police will surely bring
your father's killer to justice.
**[13:07] ---**
Meet on 4th Floor
In the Language Lab
**[13:16] ---**
Sakuragaoka Park
**[13:16] ---**
Are you ready? Zoom!
**[13:21] ---**
One more time! Zoom!
**[13:25] ---**
Come on, hang on tight.
**[13:26] ---**
Okay, dad!
**[13:27] ---**
Zoom!
**[13:28] ---**
Higher! Higher!
**[13:30] ---**
Zoom!
**[13:32] ---**
Ow, ow, ow...
**[13:34] ---**
You're just way too strong for me.
**[13:37] ---**
Too strong, eh? Yes, perhaps
I am stronger than you.
**[13:41] ---**
Obviously! And there's no question
the stronger person wins in a fight!
**[13:45] ---**
Not so. You still don't have enough yet.
**[13:49] ---**
That again? I don't even get what you mean.
**[13:52] ---**
You will understand. One day.
**[14:03] ---**
That is the name of the man you killed.
**[14:07] ---**
My father... killed a man? That can't be...
**[14:10] ---**
Hazuki-kun?
**[14:13] ---**
Harasaki.
**[14:14] ---**
Um... well, I...
**[14:19] ---**
Oh, right! Um, this handkerchief,
the one you lent me before.
**[14:23] ---**
I forgot to give it back!
**[14:25] ---**
You didn't have to.
**[14:30] ---**
I heard about your father. It's just awful...
**[14:37] ---**
I don't know what people say
when things like this happen,
**[14:40] ---**
but... I'm here if you need me!
**[14:43] ---**
Okay. Sorry to worry you.
**[14:46] ---**
Oh, hey! How about a hot dog at Tom's? My
treat! As thanks, for the other day!
**[14:57] ---**
Sounds like you're the
one who wants a hot dog.
**[15:00] ---**
No, oh, heavens! That wasn't me...
**[15:07] ---**
Just be honest and say you're hungry!
**[15:10] ---**
Nice to see you laugh.
**[15:16] ---**
Hello there, Tom-san!
**[15:18] ---**
Hi!
**[15:19] ---**
If it isn't Nozomi-chan and Karate boy!
**[15:22] ---**
Wait, have you taken the day off today?
**[15:24] ---**
I'll be closed for a while.
**[15:26] ---**
My cart got smashed by this
fancy black ride the other day.
**[15:30] ---**
The inside is a huge mess!
**[15:32] ---**
A fancy... black ride?
**[15:35] ---**
One of those actually splashed me
with mud. Could it be the same car?
**[15:41] ---**
If it had the same crazy dude in it, yeah.
**[15:44] ---**
He was wearing this deep green, all-velvet,
Chinese kung-fu getup.
**[15:52] ---**
I'm so sorry.
**[15:53] ---**
No worries. If hot dogs are out, what
do you say to some ramen?
**[15:57] ---**
That's a nice idea, yo!
**[15:59] ---**
Just be sure to come visit me again sometime!
**[16:05] ---**
Excuse me! Two orders of ramen, please!
**[16:10] ---**
Fuku-san and Ine-san are right. What
could I possibly do about this?
**[16:14] ---**
Hazuki-kun, is something wrong?
**[16:17] ---**
Nothing. Just thinking.
**[16:19] ---**
There's somebody that I
can't get out of my head...
**[16:22] ---**
Hm? And who is that?
**[16:27] ---**
Lan Di.
**[16:29] ---**
That name...
**[16:31] ---**
Oh, forgive me. I couldn't help but overhear.
**[16:35] ---**
Do you know him, mister?
**[16:37] ---**
No, I actually don't.
**[16:40] ---**
But from the name, I'm guessing that he's involved
in the Chinese underworld somehow.
**[16:45] ---**
Or even the Chinese mafia...
**[16:47] ---**
Are there really people like that
here in Yokosuka? How terrifying...
**[16:51] ---**
Well, they bypass the immigration system
by operating out of the port.
**[16:57] ---**
I don't know what you've stumbled upon,
but these are not savory types,
**[17:00] ---**
if you know what I mean.
**[17:04] ---**
Thanks for the meal!
**[17:06] ---**
AJIICHI
Chinese Restaurant
**[17:08] ---**
Hazuki-kun, when things at your place
finally settle down will you...
**[17:13] ---**
come back to school?
**[17:15] ---**
When things start feeling normal again.
**[17:17] ---**
Okay. Go easy on yourself.
**[17:19] ---**
Well, I'm heading this way. Bye!
**[17:21] ---**
Right. See ya.
**[17:24] ---**
The Chinese mafia? What would
they want with my father?
**[17:29] ---**
Whatever. Nothing I could
do about it, even if I knew.
**[17:36] ---**
The door's open...
**[17:38] ---**
Is someone inside?
**[17:47] ---**
The mirror. The other one. Where is it?
**[17:51] ---**
"Mirror"?! You're one of them!
**[17:58] ---**
Give it up!
**[18:00] ---**
You are weak... you cannot beat me.
**[18:19] ---**
Last time I ask.
**[18:21] ---**
There is one more mirror. Where is it?!
**[18:28] ---**
Impossible for you to win!
Strength... not enough!
**[18:35] ---**
Ryo... it's still not enough.
**[18:39] ---**
You are lacking. Keep that in mind.
**[18:42] ---**
I can never make sense of your advice.
**[18:45] ---**
Father's advice did make sense.
**[18:48] ---**
I just... never bothered to listen!
**[18:51] ---**
You will understand. One day.
**[18:55] ---**
One day... I'll understand!
**[18:59] ---**
Give me the mirror!
**[19:01] ---**
Or else I kill you.
**[19:09] ---**
First, accept that your
opponent is stronger than you.
**[19:12] ---**
And realize that the only way to win... is
to scrutinize their movements.
**[19:42] ---**
Coming across the sea, from a distant land
in the east, he shall appear.
**[19:49] ---**
A young man, unaware of his own strength.
**[19:55] ---**
A strength that can both destroy him,
**[19:58] ---**
and bring his dreams to fruition.
**[20:11] ---**
What's going on?!
**[20:12] ---**
I just saw someone running away!
**[20:15] ---**
Somebody connected to our unwanted guests
was here. But he fled after you came.
**[20:21] ---**
Ine-san, please call the police!
**[20:22] ---**
Of course! Right away!
**[20:24] ---**
Hold on!
**[20:25] ---**
Ine-san, Fuku-san...
**[20:28] ---**
I've made up my mind. I need
to know why my father died.
**[20:32] ---**
Ryo-san?
**[20:34] ---**
You know, I've trained my entire
life to surpass my father,
**[20:39] ---**
but I never truly paid attention to him.
**[20:42] ---**
I didn't understand.
**[20:44] ---**
That's why I need to learn
about my father's past.
**[20:48] ---**
And then...
**[20:50] ---**
That is the name of the man you killed.
**[20:53] ---**
Then I can be sure that my father
was really the man I thought he was!
**[20:58] ---**
I think I can understand
him, the way I am now.
**[21:02] ---**
Ryo-san...
**[21:04] ---**
Is that so?
**[21:06] ---**
Then it seems there is no way
that I can stop you, Ryo-san.
**[21:12] ---**
To: Iwao Hazuki-sensei
**[21:13] ---**
What's that?
**[21:14] ---**
It's a letter that arrived shortly
after Hazuki-sensei's death.
**[21:20] ---**
I thought it would be better
if you didn't see it.
**[21:23] ---**
So I've been holding on to it.
**[21:26] ---**
To: Iwao Hazuki-sensei
**[21:27] ---**
Yuanda Zhu
**[21:29] ---**
Yuanda Zhu
**[21:29] ---**
"Yuanda Zhu"?
**[21:33] ---**
A dragon will rise from the earth, conjuring
dark clouds to blot out the heavens.
**[21:40] ---**
A phoenix will descend from
above, delivering purple winds with a flap of its wings.
**[21:48] ---**
Yet even as the sky is devoured by darkness,
**[21:52] ---**
a single morning star
radiates its bright light.
**[21:58] ---**
That long, winding tale shall now...
**[22:02] ---**
begin.
**[22:06] ---**
Thunderclap
**[23:39] ---**
Daybreak
**[23:40] ---**
Next time: "Daybreak."
