It is time.
Metsu... Hadoken!
Goki was corrupted by Satsui no Hado.
I'm not sure whether the ends justify the means.
The risk seems too high a price.
Is there not any other way to manifest Hado?
Am I not living proof that one can balance the darkness with light?
A Master's teachings are not to be followed blindly.
Ideas evolve with the times.
Centuries ago Ansatsuken was a young man's game,
the greatest Masters were either destroyed...
in battle or consumed by madness.
They never lived past their 40s.
I came to the conclusion that to have longevity in this art...
one must balance these extremes.
This harmony is what the in-yo represents to me.
For in all life there must be balance.
So you agree that there must be other avenues to explore in Hado?
You must make your own path.
Wha... what?
My face.
Master!
You were right.
No, not yet.
I have no choice...
I must become stronger.
Nature provides all that I need.
For two years I have trained in nothing but Satsui no Hado.
Strengthening my body day by day, in preparation.
I've been speaking to Master.
My training under him is coming to an end.
He has advised me to go on the Musha Shugyo. (Warrior's Pilgrimage)
You're leaving?
Not for a while,
I still have much to learn,
and...
this is where my heart is.
When I return, I will be the Master of this house.
I want you with me Sayaka.
What did my uncle say?
He thinks it will be for us.
First you must take the Musha Shugyo alone,
as Goki did.
I'm not like him.
Just promise me,
you'll come back.
It represents immortal glory...
the person you are striving to be.
Farewell Goki.
One day I'll make you proud.
Until we meet again...
in this life...
or the next.
To conquer dark Hado...
I must immerse myself in a state of Satsui no Hado until we become one.
If my spirit is strong enough I may survive,
and if not, the process could consume me, and be my end.
I pay the price gladly.
