Let's go to the field of sea with the tailwind
Raise the sails high up in the sky
We're adventurers who have the same hearts
Much faster and at full speed
I will manage to catch any waves
Go over the clouds and go under the rainbow, our world will be there
Yahoo! Let's give a cheer and go!
To far and away
Yahoo! We will just stay on this road that leads to what's beyond this sea
Hey... it's been 10 years, huh? Ken-chan.
"Yummy Stick"
What?!
The way you open the Yummy Stick!
Could it be... that you're Ryuto Asamiya-kun?!
Fighting itself has a meaning! It's an action of significance!
Defeating your enemy by fighting!
That's the only undisputable sacred power in this world!
You did swear on that day, too, that you'd become strong!
Please stop the pointless battle.
Okay then... I'll respond to your request...
...as Odin, the First Greatest Fist.
The answer is "no."
The real promise you've forgotten... Let's fulfill it now.
The real promise we made 10 years ago...
Is it possibly just to fight... Ryuto Asamiya-kun?
Rather, First Greatest Fist?!
A duel... between men.
If you lose, I'll take that badge.
What? My badge?
You want this gachagacha badge bad enough to fight for it?
Could it be that you're a badge nut?!
Enough chitchatting. Come on, Kenichi Shirahama!
I don't really know what's going on, but I guess I have no choice. I'll fight!
What?
What is it, Miu-san?
You fight just like that? I thought you'd try persuading him more.
But when I reunite with my best friend after 10 years,
he's become the leader of a delinquent group.
A real best friend would help him reform even if it has to be by force, right?
Moreover, he's Ragnarok's First Greatest Fist.
Beating him down is the only way I can make him understand!
Even after 10 years, you're a hypocrite as always.
Let's see who'll end up having a change of heart.
He's angry. This is rare.
Ryuto-kun... You were the only one who was shorter and frailer than I was.
And you were kinder, too. And yet, why?!
Wake up, Ryuto!
Phew! I'm impressed, to be honest.
You're the first man who violated my sphere of control this far.
Just what kind of intensive training have you had?
But now, you've lost your last chance to defeat me
since your first strike was the only chance for you to defeat me,
as I hadn't discerned your abilities yet.
You restrained your power when your fist was about to strike me, didn't you?
I'm right, huh? Was that consideration towards me?
You make me laugh.
Dammit! I'll hit him this time for real!
You're okay... aren't you?
What the hell was that intimidating air?!
This is a very rare phenomenon! To see you teat me, Kizu-pon.
I wonder if this is the end of the world.
I won big at the horse races. I thought I'd treat you too while I treat him.
Don't worry about it, Honoka. He won pretty much because of my help.
He can get along with animals in no time and understand their language, so...
Apa, apa! Apa!
"I'm in excellent condition!!"
But it's all about luck if you win or not. Fate is something cod only throws.
A cod what?
That's "God only knows."
That's another way of saying it.
I see. Then I'll appreciate Apachai rather than Kizu-pon.
I don't care who you appreciate, but stop calling me that, will you?
Ouch! Hey, man. You missing your eyes or something?!
Huh? Can't you see two eyes right here?!
Whoa! That's amazing! He fell when you didn't even touch him! What'd you do?
Spirit poisoning.
Food poisoning?
No. Animals instinctively sense threats from their natural enemies, right?
That ability remains in humans as well, although it's diminished.
In fights between superb martial artists, this "spirit poisoning" is quite important.
It's used in feints or to intimidate in order to contain your opponent's movements.
Well, experts at our level can defeat their enemies using only spirit poisoning,
which is called a "Stare Down."
What's the matter? Come on!
What on earth is this intimidating air I feel each time I get close to Ryuto-kun?!
The spirit poisoning is strong. He's got quite a menacing spirit.
What's the matter, Kenichi? What're you afraid of?
You've always been kind, haven't you?
That kindness is the flip side of your weakness, you coward!
Ryuto!
Ah! No!
Crossing Shot Down!
I never ease up on my attack... not like a certain someone.
Kenichi-san!
So this is your ability... I'm disappointed.
Furinji-san!
I don't think a wimp like him deserves you.
You haven't seen the real Kenichi-san, have you?
Hm?
What was that?! I felt a quiet but heavy spirit! Could it be it was from him?!
I see... I was daunted by your aggressiveness, wasn't I?
But when it comes to fighting spirit, I'll never lose!
This isn't like me. I really panicked.
Now, hold on to me.
Don't touch me, Miu-san! I'm in the middle of a duel!
Whoa! You stood up!
I can't touch him. I can't touch him.
Looks like it affected your legs quite a bit.
Not at all!
That's the spirit!
Dammit! That was an incredible thrust.
He used the momentum of my dash.
In addition, to think that he neutralized my thrust by making it rub his body!
What's the matter? It didn't affect you at all, right? Come on.
Dammit!
What amazing aggressiveness. Was Kenichi-san daunted by it again?
How impertinent!
- Again! A bottomless fighting spirit! - Huh?
He wouldn't be able to reach this level through ordinary training!
Kenichi-san! Do a break fall!
Phew! It's amazing. Is it really possible for someone to do a break fall
when dropped from that position? It's like something out of a movie.
He doesn't get thrown every day for nothing.
Just in terms of doing break falls, Kenichi-san is at an Olympic level.
In other words, he's a genius at being beaten.
Miu-san! Shut up for a while!
Ryuto!
But you're still inexperienced.
It's no use!
Why you!
Ow, ow, ow.
Amazing! The moment the thrusts enter his range, he deflects them all perfectly!
Good grief, what a waste.
It looks like you're surrounded by first-class experts,
but your soft personality is ruining everything.
What'd you say?!
Come at me with the intent to kill. Or you won't be able to break through my sphere of control.
Sphere of control?!
Just as I expected... it seems that you only know the first step of martial arts.
"Seek first to expand, and then seek to contract later."
The sphere of control is your own zone that you can see when you reach this "contraction."
Uhm...
Tsk! I'll show it to you in a way that an idiot can understand.
What'd you say?!
First relax it... and later tighten it.
Look. Mine is from here... to here.
I'll capture, wield and destroy everything that enters this sphere without fail.
This is indeed the essence of martial arts.
I don't get what he's saying, but it's true that all of my attacks are deflected.
Now that it's come to this, I'll use that combo attack where I link all
of my martial art special techniques!
Yamazuki! Kao Loi! Ox Head-Butt!
Single Leg Takedown!
Take this! The Mightiest Combo!
Yamazuki!
Kao Lo...
Oops.
What?! My killer technique was blocked so easily!
Your two-handed thrust at the beginning almost got me.
However, there's no attack that I can't evade by using this fighting method
where I deal with everything that enters the sphere of control by reflex without depending on vision.
Why don't you try it, too?
Kenichi-san!
As expected, you can't do it, huh?
You can't evade my two-handed thrust as long as you depend on your vision.
Why? I took it as if I was sucked into it!
I'll take your badge as promised.
I have nothing to look back about now.
Why? Why do you want that badge that badly?
It's not that I want the badge.
This man did something unforgivable to me 10 years ago.
I just wanted to pay him back for that.
Something unforgivable?
Oh by the way, Kenichi... I don't know if this'll replace it, but I'll give this to you.
This is... a medal for a loser.
Oh yeah... Your group... the Shinpaku Federation, was it?
Since it seemed interesting I let it live, but I don't care about it any more.
I'll eliminate it. Sorry.
Hang in there! Hang in there, Kenichi-san!
Hey, Tanimoto! Join the Shinpaku Federa...
How many times do I have to tell you?
I have no intention of joining your suspicious group.
If you talk to me again... I'll kill you.
G-General!
Are you okay?!
He's too dangerous as expected.
He's quite hard to deal with.
Listen, you guys. You think Ragnarok will keep quiet when they lost four
of their Greatest Fists because of us, the Shinpaku Federation?
It's a matter of time before it turns into an all-out war with them.
When that happens, he'll be a help to us for sure.
But...
I'm a man who turns even his falls to good use.
My plans are flawless, not even a single flaw.
I've secretly arranged cooperation from a certain man!
Amazing! When did you get a guy like this?
Just as would be expected from you, General!
Just wait and see, Tanimoto. You're already mine.
You've got some guts. To see that you tried to ambush Ragnarok.
"Shinpaku" You've got some guts. To see that you tried to ambush Ragnarok.
"Shinpaku" But you should've brought more people...
if you intend to defeat me, Loki-sama, the fighting advisor.
"Shinpaku Federation" if you intend to defeat me, Loki-sama, the fighting advisor.
"Shinpaku Federation" Shut up, you fat fake. This is enough to deal with the unit of Loki doubles...
...since, as you can see...
...Hermit, the former Ragnarok's Sixth Greatest Fist, is on our side.
Th-That's a lie! Hermit-sama is?!
Oh, oops. That jerk Hermit is?!
That's right! We showed him every courtesy and won him as one of the Shinpaku Federation's Four Admirals!
Can't be! No, this is impossible. That man is...
Hermit wouldn't become a subordinate to someone so easily!
He's a fake! I-I think he looks a little different in size as well.
I bet he's just a sham, useless jerk!
Get him!
Yeah!
He's strong! He's the real one! Get out of here! Retreat! Retreat!
There's no way you can defeat one of the real Eight Greatest Fists!
Go spread the words that Hermit joined Shinpaku!
This is a plan to advertise that Hermit is in Shinpaku.
When things go that far, even Tanimoto can no longer back out.
That's an interesting thing you're doing... you worm.
Stop it, Hermit.
Looks like you're somewhat capable. Who the hell are you?
Show who you are, new member.
Sieg!
A very good melody is coming to my mind somehow.
Oh, Hermit! I bet this is a melody of joy for our reunion!
I'll make a note of it.
Hey, Sieg! The greeting should be first!
Wh-Why did Sieg join this worm's group?
It's a long story.
Well, I'll explain it to him...
...by singing!
? I was feeling that I had reached the limit of my composing method.?
? So I went to the sea and cried all day.?
? There a single melody descended.?
? It was a brave, confident melody.?
? Yes, it was the encounter with Niijima-sama.?
? That amazing melody was indeed a revolution.?
? And I decided to join the Shinpaku Federation.?
I don't get it at all.
No matter how hard you struggle, you won't be able to escape from me.
The plan to steal your locker key and borrow your costume was right on!
I bet Ragnarok will now think that you're a member of the Shinpaku Federation.
No matter how hard you resist, I'll accumulate a series of fait accompli!
Then Ragnarok and delinquents throughout town will come after you as one of the Shinpaku Admirals!
Everyone will attack you going after your head.
Can you fight a war against all of them by yourself?
Here's some friendly advice. Join us now, before it's too late. Okay?
I told you that I'd kill you if you talked to me again, didn't I?
Looks like you wanna die, huh?
Wait, Hermit.
I have a special skill that allows me to see through the melodies that people are clad in.
And your elegiaco... that sorrowful melody of yours...
...will only be eased little by little by being among these people.
It's your fate that you'll come back to this side.
Humph! I don't get what you're saying at all. See ya.
I hereby declare... that you will definitely come back!
Ah! Give me back my clothes and the locker key!
See, I told you.
Dammit!
I'm okay, now, so...
Are you sure?
Yes... I'm okay, so please don't try comforting me.
I see. Then...
"Endurance" "Courage"
Ugh!
We were still in the middle of shopping, so...
So you really don't intend to comfort me even a bit, huh?
Of course not...
...because you're still alive, Kenichi-san.
Huh?
True loss for a martial artist is death.
As long as you're alive, you'll have a chance to come back from defeat one day for sure.
Kenichi-san, I'm really glad that you're alive.
As long as I'm alive, one day I will... huh? She's really amazing.
Let's see, I wonder which one's fresh today.
"Fish Market" Let's see, I wonder which one's fresh today.
"Fish Market" Shopping as usual...
"Fish Market" Oh? You didn't ask for cheese & fish cake today.
But she is more talkative than usual.
Let's see... which one's better?
That's right. Although I was defeated, I won't be a loser!
That's the face of a loser.
Ow...
"Face of a loser" Ow...
"Face of a loser" Yeah, that's true. We can tell from your look.
Don't lose without asking us first.
"Face of a loser" "Don't lose without asking us first" Don't lose without asking us first.
"Face of a loser" "Don't lose without asking us first" Another ow...
Kenichi, is it true that you lost?!
"Face of a loser" "Don't lose without asking us first" "Is it true that you lost!?" Kenichi, is it true that you lost?!
"Face of a loser" "Don't lose without asking us first" "Is it true that you lost!?" And one more ow...
I'll submit these pictures of a beaten dog and submit them to a pet corner.
Have a little consideration! Don't say I lost so much, you darn masters!
This is the howling of a beaten dog. I'll record it.
I didn't lose! I just let him win because I met him for the first time in 10 years!
Apa! Does a 10 year old yellowtail taste good?!
"10 year old" Apa! Does a 10 year old yellowtail taste good?!
That's an excuse. An excuse.
Sounds like a complete defe... at.
You bastard, First Greatest Fist!
Next time I see you, it'll be the day you die!
Good, good! That's the spirit!
Kenichi-kun. Elder said he wants to talk to you.
What?
In order to jump high, you first have to squat down low.
It is also true that you learn more from your defeats than your wins.
How was it, Ken-chan? Didn't you learn a lot today?
Ah!
Sphere of Control...
You can't evade attacks as long as you depend on your vision.
An expert would even appreciate his opponent for defeating him.
Now you can make another step forward, can't you, Ken-chan?
Yes sir!
That's right! I've learned my true ability today.
An expert would even appreciate his opponent for defeating him.
I'll engrave your words in my heart, Elder!
Well, I've never lost even once, though.
Not fair...
Knock it down with a high speed
Open a new path, run through it with the brand new days in your hand
Don't look back, get a chance
There is no choice but to go on step by step
Turn the pain into strength
Don't be afraid! Let's start from here
Go all out! You don't need a goal
With the passionate soul that soars through the sky, yeah, yeah
Come on, dance! Being ordinary isn't enough
Unlock your dream! It sure will be a bright tomorrow
That's right! Let it all hang out until you reach there
Ken-chan, I have a suggestion.
Why don't you receive training directly from me?
Elder is going to train me?! This is the first time!
I thought you'd need a different training from usual.
What do you say? Do you want to try?
It doesn't matter what kind of training it is as long as I can defeat Odin!
Please give me your training!
Oh? It doesn't matter what kind of training it is, you said?
I look forward to it then.
Just remember what you said.
Oh no... I might've said too much.
