How funny!
--Is it really that funny? --I'm sorry.
But to think that the brawler you fought to the death with
was beaten in one hit...
Hanayama-san wasn't in his best condition.
Oh, so he could've beaten Yujiro Hanma if he had been?
The little league is still the little league.
"Parting Ways"
Listen. That is what you're aiming for.
It shouldn't matter if the other person is hurt.
Every challenger must be crushed, even toddlers.
Fool.
Here. I'll hold you up.
He's filled with the pride of being the world's strongest!
Am I wrong?
That match was definitely too gruesome to be called a match.
We both could've died...
I've almost died so many times.
..But... ..But...?
I feel a bond between Hanayama-san and me.
I also felt this way when I sparred with Yuri-san
and fought the Yasha Ape.
I've only lived for 13 years, but I've always looked up to my dad
and done everything I could possibly do.
And then I realized something...!
That my true reason for aiming to be the strongest is that bond...
And that Dad is completely different!
I have something you'll find interesting.
Here. It's for you.
"To Baki Hanma c/o Emi Akezawa"
"Kaoru Hanayama"
Hanayama-san!
Such terrible writing. He must've been too busy fighting to ever study.
"I want to see you."
--I want to see you. ..Hana.
Hanayama-san...!
I really wanted to see ya.
I tried writing it with my mouth...
--Surprised it even got delivered. ..Hana.
I chose to fight him! I regret nothing!
But I want you to get stronger.
Even stronger than your old man...
Even stronger than Dad...!
You bet I will!
That's the spirit.
You need to grow up, Baki.
There 's no turning back!
I will get stronger.
Even stronger than Dad...!
--Is he playing with a bird? ..No...
What the young master is doing is a type of training
used in Chinese martial arts to develop the reflexes.
Seriously?
When a bird takes flight, it jumps before flapping its wings.
By sensing that first jump with his skin and lowering his arm,
he's able to prevent the bird from flapping its wings at all.
To handle a wild bird in such a manner, one would need
exceptional concentration and reflexes that outclass wild animals.
Drlve.
What the...?
Dad...
That's some old training you're doing there, Sportsman.
In one month... I will fight you.
Show me everything you've learned in 13 years.
You better make it good. Or else...
Oh, yes. I have a present for you. It's not much, but...
Maybe you'll recognize him!
It can't be...!
The Yasha Ape!
Show's over!
I can't believe this chimp gave you a hard time!
Yujiro!
Yasha...!
How dare you...
How dare you do this...!
Yes! That's the look!
You can't let someone this terrible get off scott free!
Even If that person Is your father!
Listen! People this horrible absolutely must pay!
Baki...
One month...!
Get away!
Yasha...
Your wife.
Six years ago, my father took this from you.
Thanks to you, I've grown stronger!
Thank you very much!
A fang...
I'II beat him!
Baki.
How long has it been? You've really grown.
--I hear you're fighting Yujiro. --Strydom-san! Where is he?!
Not so fast. You stlll have a month.
Fighting Yujiro now would be like a rabbit fighting a lion.
I'll beat him! I'll get stronger than him!
Then there's only one way.
The very source of Yujiro's strength... is his ego.
He fiercely believes that nothing can ever be as strong as him.
Many "great fighters" have fallen to his tenacious spirit.
"I am the strongest! I am the greatest!"
The last place that a man goes to get such an ego is the battlefield.
The Middle East, Africa, eastern Europe...
...and the most dangerous place of all.
It was there that Yujiro's ego acquired the greatest satisfaction.
It was there that Yujiro's fighting techniques fully blossomed.
I know because I saw his horridness with my own eyes.
Captain Strydom. I want you to show me to this place.
You're sure of this?
Go to Hokkaido.
Hokkaldo...?
There you will find your battlefield.
A scene of carnage that would easily rival Yujiro's own battlefields.
"Hokkaido"
General!
What happened, Division Commander?
I asked you a question!
I'm sorry to report that they've decimated Unit 001!
Defeated by a unit of only five unarmed men?!
Pathetic!
You don't understand, General!
If we can hear the enemy, we can get near them!
If we can see the enemy, we can die honorable deaths!
But what can we do if they're silent and unseen?!
Unseen?!
My unit still hasn't sighted them!
We only know they're out there when they attack us!
What?!
There is a professional militant group that seeks the smell of blood,
belongs to no one, and loves blood more than money.
There's only 5 of them, but they're stronger than an entire regiment.
A few days ago, the Self Defense Force invited them to Hokkaido
as a practice enemy, but training and war are the same to them.
The SDF was crushed in no time.
Right about now, they're probably roughing it in the primeval forest.
Every place they go transforms into a battlefield.
If only we knew their location...
I'm sorry, General! It doesn't make sense!
Can we really call this training?!
We didn't intend to train against enemies like that!
Division Commander. They're making a statement.
That without casualties, they can injure however many they want...
That they can destroy however many tanks they want...
In other words, this is no exercise!
It's a war between us and them!
Some people even call them warmongers.
But that is precisely what you need now.
This is a war with Yujiro!
Losing in a war against them means death.
Do you still want to go Hokkaido?
"Next Episode"
The game of war has begun.
The five hunters are silent, imperceptible, and elusive.
He remembers that killing is the origin of fighting.
But there 's one other person: the Iord of massacre.
Soon, he will awaken.
