    The winner is Broughston Ashorc!
[00:04] Milicia
    That's Broughston-sama for you!
[00:04] Gold
    That's the boss!
[00:08] Milicia
    Hey, why are you copying me?
[00:10] Gold
    That's what I wanna ask you!
[00:16] Rick
    Broughston-senpai! Good work out there!
[00:19] Angelica
    Winning such an overwhelming victory against
    the champion like that, it's incredible!
[00:23] Broughston
    But was it an overwhelming victory?
    His final blow was impressive.
[00:28] Rick
    Now we'll obtain the jewel for sure!
[00:31] Rick
    All I have to do now is withdraw!
[00:33] Broughston
    The final match.
[00:35] Broughston
    I'm looking forward to it.
[00:38] Rick
    What?
[00:41] Rick
    Oh. Right...
[00:56] Angelica
    Sudden, severe stress!

[02:29] child 1
    Take that!
[02:30] child 2
    That's nothing!
[02:30] child 1
    And this!
[02:31] Kelvin
    "The semi-final was very exciting,
[02:34] Kelvin
    but he has fought on the hallowed grounds
[02:36] Kelvin
    of the King of Fists Tournament
    with less than full strength
[02:39] Kelvin
    and deceived everyone watching.
[02:41] Kelvin
    There are those who criticize
    Kelvin for that."
[02:45] Kelvin
    Says the article.
[02:46] Kelvin
    Looks like I'm the villain now.
[02:49] Kelvin
    Are you really sure about this?
[02:51] child 1
    There!
[02:51] child 2
    You've done it now!
[02:53] child 2
    Take this! Rolling Fang!
[02:55] child 1
    I'm gonna do it again!
[02:58] Daniel
    I'm sure it will be fine.
[03:00] Daniel
    More importantly, what was that last attack?
[03:04] Daniel
    I was shocked that you'd been
    hiding a move like that.
SIGN    Nature Composed Spiral Fist
[03:08] Kelvin
    I was completely absorbed in the fight.
[03:11] Kelvin
    I don't really remember it.
[03:13] Daniel
    If you're going to name it, it should
    be the Nature Composed Spiral Fist.
[03:17] Daniel
    Make sure you make it yours.
[03:19] Kelvin
    I...
[03:22] Kelvin
    I've been deceiving the
    spectators, you... everyone.
[03:29] Kelvin
    And I lost. A guy like me doesn't deserve...
[03:33] Daniel
    In your own way, you were trying
    to be considerate, right?
[03:37] Daniel
    And so what if you got beat?
[03:39] Daniel
    You just need to get stronger and win
     the next one, like you always have.
[03:44] Kelvin
    Hey, owner... Why do you
    look out for me like this?
[03:53] Daniel
    Well...
[03:55] Daniel
    because you're like a son to me.
[04:00] Kelvin
    And I think of you as...
[04:06] Broughston
    Excuse the... I've interrupted something.
[04:09] Kelvin
    No. It's fine.
[04:13] Broughston
    How are your injuries?
[04:15] Kelvin
    I hurt all over, thanks.
[04:19] Broughston
    Then I shall treat you.
[04:21] Kelvin
    Thanks, but no.
[04:23] Kelvin
    Right now, I want to feel this pain.
     It's been a while.
[04:27] Broughston
    All right.
[04:29] Kelvin
    I guess it worked out just like he said.
[04:33] Kelvin
    Rick.
[04:34] Kelvin
    He said if I was fighting you,
    I wouldn't need to worry.
[04:38] Broughston
    Rick said that?
[04:40] Kelvin
    I'm looking forward to the final.
[04:43] Broughston
    Yes.
[04:45] Snape
    Pardon the intrusion.
[04:47] Snape
    Where might I find Rick-san?
[04:49] Snape
    What? He's locked himself away?
[04:52] Angelica
    Rick!
[04:54] Angelica
    Stop acting like a child and
    come out here this instant!
[04:57] Rick
    No! No! I don't wanna! I'm gonna die again!
[04:59] Rick
    I don't wanna die! Go away!
[05:02] Angelica
    This is incredibly idiotic!
    Steel your resolve already!
[05:05] Rick
    I don't wanna! I don't wanna!
[05:06] Snape
    I came to give some encouragement.
     I never imagined a situation like this.
[05:11] Angelica
    It's utterly hopeless.
[05:14] Snape
    Rick-san, now that Kelvin has lost,
[05:17] Snape
    everyone is extremely excited
    about this year's tournament.
[05:21] Snape
    We would very much appreciate your
    participation in the final match.
[05:25] Rick
    My life is more important
    to me than the tournament!
[05:29] Snape
    I see.
[05:35] Snape
    Oh, Rick-san! Several thousand
    people work on this tournament!
[05:41] Snape
    Hundreds of millions are wagered upon it!
[05:44] Snape
    Across the kingdom, tens of thousands
    of fans eagerly await the final match!
[05:51] Snape
    However... if it's for the
    sake of your life, Rick-san,
[05:54] Snape
    we have no choice but to let
    it all come to nothing.
[05:58] Snape
    Everyone has no choice but
    to abandon their dreams.
[06:04] Snape
    What a shame. Oh, what a shame!
[06:07] Angelica
    Oddly, that seems to be working.
[06:07] Snape
    What a shame!
[06:11] Angelica
    It's just as Snape said!
     You should fight in the final!
[06:15] Angelica
    Even if you are killed, you can be
    brought back to life, can't you?
[06:19] Angelica
    If so, then what does it matter?
[06:22] Rick
    Angelica, you can say that
    because you've never died!
[06:26] Rick
    Even if you know that you can be
    brought back, dying is scary!
[06:31] Angelica
    Broughston's training is traumatic,
[06:34] Angelica
    but you endured it for
    two years, didn't you?
[06:37] Angelica
    Why are you so scared of fighting
    just one match against him?
[06:41] Rick
    Training and fighting are
    completely different!
[06:44] Rick
    You wouldn't understand!
[06:48] Angelica
    I see.
[06:51] Angelica
    I respected you as my teacher...
[06:55] Angelica
    but I've misjudged you!
[07:01] Mizett
    Hey, Rick-kun. Haven't you ever wondered?
[07:05] Rick
    About what?
[07:07] Mizett
    The day you first came to the castle,
     the guv had his training plan ready, right?
[07:12] Mizett
    And it was proper thorough,
    a full two-year plan, at that.
[07:17] Rick
    Now that you mention it, that is strange.
[07:20] Rick
    Wasn't it meant to train allies that
    would help defeat the Kaiser Alsapiet?
[07:25] Mizett
    Sure, that was part of it, but he
    had another goal in mind, yeah?
[07:29] Mizett
    He said it was to train up someone
    he could fight on equal ground.
[07:34] Rick
    What?
[07:36] Mizett
    Orcs have a culture of fighting, y'see?
[07:39] Mizett
    It's through fighting that they
    come to understand each other.
[07:42] Mizett
    But the guv's so strong, he's never once,
    since he was a child, had an even fist fight.
[07:50] Mizett
    He's been alone all this time.
[07:53] Mizett
    It's why he says his dream is to one
    day have a fight on equal ground.
[07:58] Mizett
    That dream might come true tomorrow.
[08:01] Mizett
    That's what the guv's probably thinking.
[08:04] Mizett
    I think you're free to choose
    to withdraw, but, y'know...
[08:09] Mizett
    Try to put yourself in his shoes, yeah?
[08:18] Alicerette
    Broughs-kun is looking forward
    to playing with you, Rikkun.
[08:22] Alicerette
    Be nice and play with him, all right?
SIGN    Two and a Half Years Earlier
[08:32] Reanette
    Once again, welcome to
    Orichalcum Fist, Rick-sama.
[08:36] (Flashback) Rick
    This place is amazing!
[08:38] (Flashback) Reanette
    This is...
[08:40] (Flashback) Reanette
    our leader.
[08:42] (Flashback) Broughston
    Broughston Ashorc.
[08:47] (Flashback) Rick
    R-Right! Very pleased to meet you!
[08:51] (Flashback) Broughston
    No knowledge of martial arts and magic
    energy capacity of the lowest possible class.
[08:55] (Flashback) Rick
    What? You can tell that much
    just from a handshake?
[08:58] (Flashback) Broughston
    By paying attention to the movement of
    muscle and magical energy, yes, you can.
[09:02] (Flashback) Rick
    I see.
[09:05] (Flashback) Broughston
    As you are now, you lack the talents and
    abilities necessary for an adventurer.
[09:10] (Flashback) Broughston
    Are you aware of this?
[09:12] Rick; internal
    So, he's the same as all those
    people who denounced my dream.
[09:16] (Flashback) Rick
    Are you trying to tell me that
    I should give up because of it?
[09:19] (Flashback) Broughston
    No.
[09:22] (Flashback) Broughston
    It will require hundreds of times more
    training than that of someone with talent.
[09:27] (Flashback) Broughston
    I was asking you if you are
    prepared to endure that.
[09:34] Angelica
    It's completely pathetic!
[09:37] Mizett
    Not like I don't understand
    how Rick-kun feels, though.
[09:40] Alicerette
    Right?
[09:42] Angelica
    Was his training with Broughston
    truly that terrifying?
[09:47] Mizett
    It was like hell on earth.
[09:50] Mizett
    I'm amazed he didn't go mad because of it.
[09:53] Mizett
    Though, he did go a little
    strange on us a few times.
[09:56] Mizett
    T'be honest, it's a mystery
    how he made it through.
[09:59] Angelica
    With no Skill, he decided to become an
    adventurer around the age of 40.
[10:00] Mizett; background
    Another round!
[10:04] Angelica
    And to be put though something so
    grueling on top of all that...
[10:07] Alicerette
    Rikkun has a Skill.
[10:09] Angelica
    What?
[10:10] Mizett
    An inborn skill, innit?
[10:12] Angelica
    I've never once seen it.
[10:15] Mizett
    The activation requirement
    is a little tricky, y'see?
[10:18] Milicia
    Thank you for waiting.
[10:20] Mizett
    Its strength can't be controlled,
    and it takes a right toll on his body.
[10:24] Mizett
    So Broughston forbade the use of it.
[10:28] Angelica
    I had no idea.
[10:36] Rick
    Hey, Reanette?
[10:39] Reanette
    Yes?
[10:40] Rick
    Do you think I'm... pathetic?
[10:44] Reanette
    I do not think you are pathetic.
[10:46] Reanette
    Whatever you may choose,
    you are you, Rick-sama.
[10:51] Reanette
    However...
[10:52] Rick
    However?
[10:54] Reanette
    If you said you'd fight for
    Broughston-sama's sake,
[10:56] Reantte
    even though you're scared
     and you don't have to...
[11:02] Reanette
    I would like you even more.

[11:15] MC
    Today's the day! At last,
    it's the final match!
[11:26] MC
    The mighty King of Fists, the great King
    Alexander, began this King of Fists Tournament
[11:31] MC
    113 years ago!
[11:33] MC
    And today, its 113th champion will be decided!
[11:41] Angelica
    You seem to have lost your composure.
[11:43] Snape
    Well, yes. When I think that Rick-san
    might withdraw just before the match...
[11:50] MC
    Which one of them will take up
    the glorious champion's belt?
[11:54] MC
    And the prize for the winner
    is three hundred million luc!
[12:05] Angelica
    Are you all right?
[12:06] Rick
    Yes. I'm over it now.
[12:09] Rick
    I just have to throw everything
    I've learned at him, that's all.
[12:13] Angelica
    Rick.
[12:15] Rick
    Y-Y-You know I'm gonna kn-kn-knock
    Broughston-senpai back on his...
[12:23] Angelica; internal
    Give me back that momentary
    flutter of my heart.
[12:26] MC
    And the bonus prizes...
[12:29] MC
    a hundred kilos of restami magic stones!
[12:31] MC
    A year's worth of golden slime bags!
[12:34] MC
    And what luxury! A pair of
    tickets for a hot springs trip!
[12:41] Angelica
    They seem excited out there.
[12:47] Reanette
    Rick-sama.
[12:48] Rick
    Wh... Wh-Wh-What is it?
[13:02] MC
    Both fighters have entered the arena!
[13:05] MC
    Broughston Ashorc versus...
[13:09] MC
    Rick Gladiatol!
[13:11] MC
    What sort of fight will
    unfold in this final match?
[13:20] Angelica
    It looks like he got over it.
[13:23] Rick
    Broughston-senpai, I'll be
    giving it everything I have!
[13:27] Broughston
    Yes. Let's have a good fight.
[13:30] Broughston
    Everything that I've drilled
    into you these last two years,
[13:34] Broughston
    send it back at me with every
    ounce of energy you have.
[13:37] Daniel
    Now, what will happen?
[13:39] Kelvin
    They're both the real deal,
    so I can't predict it either.
[13:44] MC
    And now, the final match
    you've all been waiting for!
[13:48] MC
    Combatants, fight!
[13:54] Angelica
    Flickering Feet? But it's much too fast!
[14:07] Broughston
    Yes. Very impressive, Rick.
[14:15] Snape
    What magic was that?
[14:18] Alicerette
    The two of them haven't used any magic.
[14:23] Angelica
    It was hand-to-hand combat
    with strengthened bodies.
[14:27] Reanette
    Yes.
[14:28] Reanette
    After a few dozen blows
    and moves to block and evade them,
[14:33] Reanette
    Rick-sama used Thread Slash.
[15:06] Rick
    Thread Slash!
[15:12] Angelica; internal
    Because of the training Rick gave me,
[15:15] Angelica; internal
    I understand how difficult it is to
    reach the realm where they stand.
[15:22] Angelica
    Still, that's incredible drive from him.
[15:26] Angelica
    What did you tell him earlier?
[15:29] Reanette
    Well...
[15:33] (Flashback) Reanette
    Rick-sama.
[15:34] (Flashback) Rick
    Wh... Wh-Wh-What is it?
[15:40] (Flashback) Reanette
    If you win, please take me on
    the hot springs trip with you.
[15:44] (Flashback) Rick
    Hot... springs?
[15:51] Angelica
    What?
[15:53] Rick; internal
    If I win, the two of us...
[15:56] Rick; internal
    go on a hot springs trip!
[15:56] Angelica; overlap
    A hot springs trip?
[16:01] Angelica
    Are you serious?
[16:02] Angelica
    A hot springs trip means staying
    the night there, doesn't it?
[16:07] Angelica
    And that means...
[16:09] Angelica
    um, that, um...
[16:13] Angelica
    The two of you will be, um...
[16:15] Reanette
    Yes.
[16:20] Angelica
    I-I-I'm going to focus on the match.
[16:24] Reanette
    Of course.
[16:31] Broughston
    Since you've come here willing to fight,
[16:35] Broughston
    it would be disrespectful of me
     to do nothing but defend.
[16:55] Kelving
    It may sound like a joke,
[16:57] Kelving
    but that punch has more power than
    Level-Five Nature Composed Magic.
[17:05] Rick; internal
    This is terrifying! I'm up
    against Broughston-senpai!
[17:10] Rick; internal
    If I just dive in without
    thinking, I'll die!
[17:15] Rick
    Consecutive blows?
[17:23] Rick; internal
    The blows were a distraction?
[17:26] Angelica
    Rick!
[17:28] Reaneete
    No, he is all right.
[17:30] Angelica
    What?
[17:38] Angelica
    That's... Level-One Nature
    Composed Magic, Air Cushion?
[17:43] Daniel
    He can block that punch
    with level-one magic?
[17:46] Kelvin
    No, that isn't the issue here.
[17:49] Kelvin
    He activated it without
     pausing to gather his magic.
[17:51] Kelvin
    He didn't even say the name of the magic!
[17:54] Kelvin
    It was actual instant casting!
[18:00] Broughston
    The precision of your magic
    control is excellent.
[18:04] Broughston
    Even I can't perform magic
    completely chant-less.
[18:06] Rick
    It's thanks to Mizett-senpai
    and Alicerette-senpai.
[18:10] Alicerette
    And Rikkun worked really hard at it, right?
[18:13] Mizett
    That's right!
[18:14] Mizett
    But I panicked when he botched his control
    and took Alicerette's magic attack!
[18:19] Mizett
    Half his body evaporated, y'see?
[18:23] Angelica
    Evaporated?
[18:24] Rick
    Here I come!
[18:33] Rick
    Flowing Strike!
[18:42] Angelica
    Straight from the front?
    Has he lost his mind?!
[18:50] Daniel
    He's in the air!
[18:51] Kelvin
    Yes, but he's in trouble! He's wide open!
[19:02] Kelvin
    He used his feet to cast Air Cushion?!
[19:10] Rick
    Air Shot!
[19:29] Angelica
    The attack and defense
    unfolding before us...
[19:31] Angelica
    the strategy, the sheer power...
[19:34] Angelica
    all of it exceeds human understanding.
    It belongs to the realm of monsters.
[19:38] Angelica
    This is a battle between two S-ranks.
[19:45] Rick; internal
    Even Air Shot isn't
    powerful enough at mid-range?
[19:49] Rick; internal
    I have to find a way to fire
    it at super close range!
[19:52] Broughston
    Rick, you truly have grown strong.
[19:57] Broughston
    I am proud of the fact that my
    training plan for you was flawless,
[20:02] Broughston
    but it was only possible because of
    your mental and emotional strength.
[20:09] Rick; internal
    Broughston-senpai never lies
    or gives empty compliments.
[20:15] Rick
    I'm honored!
[20:17] Rick; internal
    No words could make me happier...
[20:20] Rick; internal
    But they're words a master
    gives to a student.
[20:24] Rick; internal
    This isn't good enough!
[20:29] (Flashback) Mizett
    It's why he says his dream is to one
    day have a fight on equal ground.
[20:36] Rick
    Mizett-senpai told me!
[20:38] Rick
    He told me why you trained me,
     Broughston-senpai.
[20:42] Broughston
    Oh?
[20:43] Rick
    He told me the reason you put
    together that training plan...
[20:46] Rick
    and what your dream is, Senpai!
[20:57] Broughston
    They are a hopeless lot.
[21:01] Broughston
    You need not let it bother you.
    It's an exaggeration to call it a dream.
[21:05] Broughston
    If that wish were granted, I would
    count myself lucky and no more.
[21:09] Rick
    No, I don't think that's true.
[21:12] Rick
    The passion you showed in training me...
[21:14] Rick
    I can tell it was the real thing!
[21:17] Rick
    Senpai, I want to repay this
    debt of gratitude to you!
[21:21] Rick
    If you say that you will fight
    me with honor and respect,
[21:27] Rick
    then I want to fight you
    with my utmost respect, too!
[21:43] Broughston
    I am a fortunate person.
[21:46] Broughston
    It has been two years since
    Reanette brought you to us.
[21:51] Broughston
    And now, you are a true member of our party.
[21:56] Rick
    Senpai...
[21:58] Broughston
    This is a good opportunity
    for me to speak of the past.
[22:03] Broughston
    And it has to do with the founding
    of our Orichalcum Fist.
[22:09] Rick
    Orichalcum Fist's...
