--I hear you're fighting Yujiro. --Strydom-san! Where is he?!
Not so fast. You stlll have a month.
I'll beat him! I'll get stronger than him!
..Go to Hokkaido. ..Hokkaido...?
There you will find your battlefield.
A scene of carnage that would easily rival Yujiro's own battlefields.
"Battlefield"
Are all parachutes this tight?
Don't complain. Your life is in its hands.
Though one in a hundred apparently don't open...
--One minute to drop. --One minute to drop.
One last thing- there's only five of 'em, but they're real pros.
You'll be discovered from the moment you jump!
Do not leave the area where you land!
..Course set! ..Course set!
Go! Go kick some ass!
What now?
How am I supposed to fight with nobody here?
I can't just stand around here...
I don't understand this map! It's all lines!
Let's see. I landed near a swamp, so...
It's a kid.
He came in with a chute, so I figured he was some paratrooper.
Not even the SDF- just some kld.
Wow. I had to use cesium gas on him.
Never thought I'd need it in a real fight.
..He's seen our faces. --Yeah. Can't let him go now.
There.
We gonna dispose of him?
Meeting us means death. There's no law out here.
I'd say he's 65 or 66 kilograms.
Very little body fat. He's almost entirely muscle.
He's really trained himself.
So he's no ordinary kid?
Well, let's get it over with.
..Wait. ..What for?
He might not be alone. He could have some friends in hiding.
Leave hlm allve for now.
Here.
If we're gonna kill him, we should have fun.
Right. Now then, what do we do?
If we want to prolong the fun, we could..
An herb ointment. Stops bleeding like a charm.
That's why this is going to be so fun.
It's good to see you again, Sir.
How goes it, Mister Strydom?
How long are you in Japan?
Good question. I'd really like to stay in hiding...
You, in hiding? Doesn't seem like you at all.
You're known as a soldier among soldiers.
The battlefield is the only place for you to die.
A soldier among soldiers? Perhaps as a commanding officer...
How about as a soldler?
I don't know. I prefer to choose my opponents.
How about Yujlro Hanma?
The only people I can't beat are that ogre and one other person.
I've sent that ogre's son to Hokkaido as a soldier.
Interesting.
He wished to experience as much as his father did...
Like father, like son.
Now to see If he can defeat those flve...
Did you say five?
Yes, that's right...
Strydom. Among those five is the other person I can't beat.
--Are you aware Gaia is with them?! ..You mean he's alive?!
He's known as Mister War. not even a nuke could kill him!
You were rash, Strydom!
Unbelievable! Which of them is Gaia?!
Just ask the Ogre's son. Assuming he survives, of course.
But Baki is the Ogre's son! He won't be that easily--
You only say that because you don't know Gaia's wrath.
His deadly techniques on the battlefield are second to none.
Once you've encountered Gaia on the battlefield, it's all over...
...even for the Ogre!
You're still nearby.
I'm right here!
I'm no medic. I won't stop the bleeding.
Don't worry. I only cut the great saphenous vein.
It's a low pressure vein- it'll bleed slowly.
If you can beat me in 5 minutes, you'll survive!
Good eyes!
I have more than one knife!
This knife was specially made by a master blacksmith.
It has the sharpest edge in the world!
The handle's weight, the razor-sharp edge...
Whadya think? Nice shave, huh?
Why, you...!
You want some of this?!
Fine by me!
The carotid artery...!
The crotch...!
Your rushing needs work, kid.
A few more centimeters and your wrist would've been gushing...!
He 's Iuring me in and attacking my weak points...!
Here's a wrist or two for ya!
Or not!
You weak spot freak!
I'm gonna get some exercise.
Get some sleep or look at the stars or whatever.
Alright, guys! The night game's begun!
Don't tell me you've gone to sleep?!
Stop acting tough and come out!
Damn! And I got him with both feet...!
Something's coming...
Gaia is a supreme expert in military fighting techniques.
His heartless fighting style is the very basis of those techniques.
The concept of fair play on the battlefield is actually a detriment.
Even if he is the Ogre's son, he won't escape his baptism.
Dammlt! That's not falr!
Not falr?
Seems you don't know how fights are fought on the battlefield.
Shall I give you a lecture?
Dammit! If this keeps up, I'm dead!
If you wanna wash your face, I'll help you!
That was a great lesson, Professor!
Fighting dirty is a true battlefield lesson!
I'm a changed man!
Now it's time to teach my lesson!
Run...?!
You're in no position to tell me what to do!
Doesn't matter! If you don't wanna die, then run now!
As if I'd quit in the middle of such a fun game!
Yujiro Hanma's always on the battlefield!
Hey!
Did you just say Yujiro Hanma...?!
What the...? How do you know my dad's name?
--You're the Ogre's son?! ..Answer me!
All soldiers like us know the big names like Ogre and Gaia.
Ogre? Gaia?
Yujiro Hanma fights empty-handed and outclasses the latest weaponry.
Soldiers all over the world call him 'The Ogre' out of respect and fear.
--Ogre...? ..And then there's Gaia.
He's currently our commander.
If you're the Ogre's son, then you know your old man's strength.
On the battlefield, Gaia is just as powerful...
Kuraishi...
He left.
One month until the operation's over. Will it ever end?
H-how...?!
This cut was yours, right?
No, uh...!
Geez. You're definitely not the guy who equals my dad.
Doesn't surprlse me.
It's not my fault; I'm just a medic...
..Nomura. Where is Gaia now? ..How should I know?
But... He's not far...
I get the feeling he's closer than everyone thinks.
And that once he comes out, nobody will be able to stop him...
No... Not until that boy dies...
Smart kid.
Yeah. He's not moving an inch from those three.
The Ogre's son? To think he'd reach even us...
His moves are the real thing. A little too clean, though.
I'm gonna enjoy this!
That's unexpected. To think they'd come at me head on...
A bear?!
It's wounded!
Damn you...!
You brought back a bad memory...!
Everything you guys do pisses me off!
You're really something, kid.
To think you'd drive a pro this far...
Playtime's over!
You're really too energetic!
One against many. This is normal on the battlefield.
That's right!
The game's over.
My knife!
Why, you...!
Looks llke thls Is an all-out war!
In that case, I better show my true self!
--As you can see... .....we're identical twins.
They're going to use it on him!
--We normally disguise ourselves... --...to avoid confusing our allies.
But as a team, nothing is handier!
We would've rather fought your old man!
Bastards...!
Two guys at once...!
Gaia?!
Damn you!
You're pretty good, but you're nowhere near my dad's level!
You thought you could beat Yujiro Hanma like that?
You're a million years too early!
I smell it!
..Nomura! --Stop! Nomura!
The smell of. The smell of adrenaline!
It's all over! Hanma! Run!
..What for?! --Just do it! Run as far as you can!
Run!

Gaia, who bears the name of a god.
A battlefield philosopher in tune with nature.
His words separate and sway the boy's mind and body.
Cells! Remember how to attack and dodge!
This is a fight!
