*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...
