Tiger Mask!
Kyoto looks so nice.
I'm back.
Welcome back.
So, have you got a new killer move?
It's not that easy.
So you holed up in Fuji, but no luck, huh?
I'm hungry. Have you got anything?
Absolutely!
Have some Tora-yaki!
These again?
I'm sick of these.
And whose fault is it that we have unsold stock?
Well? Well?
Naoto, stop complaining and eat.
Takaoka-san.
What did the original Tiger Mask do when he couldn't come up with a killer move?
Holed up in the mountains and practiced.
There's that old school.
Hold on.
He told me he went to someone named Judan Arashi for advice once.
Judan Arashi?
Yeah.
Apparently he was a famous master of Judo and Kendo.
He offered a hint when the original Tiger was trying to come up with a killer move.
Huh. So where is he?
In Kyoto.
Kyoto?
But he was pretty old and that was 40 years ago, so he's probably...
Found him!
Here!
The Arashi Juken style?
Okay!
Let's hop over to Kyoto and meet with Master Arashi!
It's decided!
Showdown with The Arashi Juken Style
Japanese Style Café KoTo
Yum! Kyoto is great!
Let's see where to go next...
Hey.
What is this?
Let's hurry and go meet Master Arashi.
Aw. Can't we do a little more Kyoto sightseeing first?
We've done enough.
Make sure you contact them first, Miss gifted manager.
Honestly, you guys are so impatient.
I know, I'll get some rice dumplings as a souvenir gift!
Oh!
Hello.
What are you doing here?
It's private business.
Huh?
Hm?
Hello again!
Fukuwara-san?
Huh? Huh?
So it's like that between you two?
Huh?
N-No!
I just dropped by on my way back from Maiko-han pro-wrestling,
but it was crowded... And we happened to share a table!
Your frantic denial is even more suspicious.
How tedious.
Why does this happen to me?
Oh well. Dumplings! Dumplings!
Hm?
Arashi Juken Style
The sign looks impressive, but...
Arashi Juken Style
The dojo is pretty small.
Hmm.
Isn't it fishy?
Hmm.
Oh! Well, well.
The popular pro wrestler, Tiger Mask-san.
Thank you for coming all the way to this dingy place.
Please, come in.
I'm telling you, this place is fishy.
Quiet.
We can't help that we're here.
Soul
Excuse me.
I've been busy with the move and don't have any good cups.
Please, don't worry about it.
I'm sorry for not introducing myself earlier.
I'm a follower of Master Toranosuke Arashi's...
and a student of the Arashi Juken Style, Issei Handa.
I'm the pro wrestler, Tiger Mask.
I've heard that Master Arashi knew the original Tiger Mask.
So, how can I help you today?
Well, um...
That carved wood statue is quite impressive!
Ah. You have a discerning eye.
This was a gift from Master Arashi.
The founder of the Itto style...
Ittosai Ito carved it when holed up in the mountains creating his killer attack.
His killer attack?
That statue contains the astounding perseverance of Ittosai.
If you like, I can sell it to you for 3 million yen.
3 million?
No way! No thank you!
I'm kidding!
He's really fishy!
Just be quiet!
Oh!
Don't yell like that! It's rude!
I'm sorry.
Uncle, listen.
There's another dojo of Master Arashi's.
That's probably the real one!
What? Then this place...
Uh...
I'm sorry. Something urgent came up, so... Excuse us.
Huh? Urgent?
Just come with us.
We're really sorry about this!
Urgent! Urgent!
What? An impostor?
When I did a search, I found another dojo of Master Arashi's.
That one sounds closer to what I heard.
What?
After the second master passed away...
there was a split over who would take over.
Arashi Juken Style
Now this is an impressive building.
This is what I heard about.
The master will see you. This way, please.
Soul
Everything's different aside from the hanging scroll and the statue.
Stop talking!
Ah. You must be Tiger Mask-kun.
It's a pleasure.
Likewise.
I am the third Arashi Juken Style master, Gotoku Arashi.
I'm Kentaro Takaoka.
I'm Haruna Takaoka.
Excuse my abruptness, but...
look at this.
Huh?
This statue was carved by the founder of the Itto style, Ittosai Ito...
when he was holed up in the mountains trying to create his killer attack.
What?
Hey, Haruna!
What's wrong?
I'm sorry. We just heard that exact same story from someone else.
So you went to his dojo.
You know of him?
Issei Handa.
He is, as you've seen, a pretender.
He's been causing troubly by claiming he's a student of the Arashi Juken Style.
Is that so?
There's no point in thinking about him.
More importantly, Tiger-kun.
You're feeling the heat, aren't you?
You seek to create a killer move, but are frustrated because you can't.
How did you?
I can tell. I saw your fight on TV.
What? You could tell just from that?
I can tell.
But, Tiger-kun...
the killer move you seek will not be found overnight, despite your eagerness.
Yes.
Do you know this?
Huh?
Hosshato
This is the secret attack Ittosai created in mortal peril.
The Hosshato.
The Hosshato?
"Hossha" means, "to discard attachment and empty your mind."
What sort of attack is it? Please teach me.
Of course.
One summer night...
attacked by an assassin, Ittosai's mosquito net was cut down, trapping him.
But, by abandoning himself and striking, this secret attack was born.
Abandoning himself...
Tiger-kun.
Fight with me.
What?
F-Fight?
You may find something.
Yes, please.
Let's make this a life or death fight.
Huh? Isn't that going a little too far?
Unless you're willing to lose your life, you will gain nothing.
I understand.
Master!
You fool! Don't disrupt us!
Forgive me.
But, master, it's almost time to vacate.
Vacate?
Oh, this is a bit of an embarrassment.
Because of aforementioned Handa, we are deep in debt.
We have to hand over this land and building.
What?
That guy was that crooked?
Hmm.
If we can just pay the interest, we can put off vacating for another month.
If you'll let me, I'd like to help.
What? I can't ask that.
That's right. We're not doing that well either because of the leftover Tora-yaki.
The Hosshato secret of abandoning oneself gave me much to think about.
I'd like to thank you.
I actually feel a little guilty.
He even gave me Ittosai's statue.
Well, you gave them 3 hundred thousand. Consider it a fair deal.
Yeah. That impostor said you could sell it for 3 million, didn't he?
That impostor, huh?
Hm?
Aren't we staying at the Arashiyama hot springs tonight?
This is the wrong way.
Thinking about that guy is pissing me off.
I won't be satisfied until I give him a piece of my mind.
Hey, let's keep things peaceful.
What?
So you gave him 3 hundred thousand, Tiger-san?
Well, yes.
Osamu-chan's still playing that scheme!
Huh? Osamu-chan?
Osamu Umano. That's his real name.
I hear he calls himself Gotoku Arashi these days.
Isn't it because of your debts that they might lose their land and house?
Try to show a little remorse.
I don't have any debts.
The reason they might lose their land and house is because of Osamu-chan's debts.
What?
I carried on Master Arashi's will...
and defended the true traditional Arashi Juken Style.
However, I lost the succession dispute and was expelled.
Honestly, that Osamu...
I'll return your 3 hundred thousand.
Please forgive Osamu.
There's nothing to forgive.
I merely bought this statue for 3 hundred thousand. That's all.
Huh?
Let's go.
Okay.
I'm really very sorry.
Arashiyama Hot Springs Springs of Ebisu
Sheesh.
I can't tell what's true and what's a lie anymore.
Hm?
Oh!
Why are you here?
It's private business.
Hey! You can't come in wearing a bathing suit!
Wonderful!
Ahh bliss.
That was a good dinner.
Food is best when it's made by someone else.
There are no dishes to wash either.
Is staring at that fun?
Oh, well, kind of.
So, Gotoku Arashi and Issei Handa. Who's the real successor?
Who cares?
Maybe they're both impostors.
That doesn't seem true.
What do you mean, Naoto?
Arashi-san's talk about the Hosshato was interesting.
I agree one must be willing to lose everything for a killer move.
So Arashi-san's the real one?
But when I faced Arashi-san, I didn't feel anything.
Even though he had a sword.
So Handa-san is the real one?
I didn't feel anything from him either.
Nothing like the fierceness of a martial artist.
See? So they're both impostors.
I'm sleepy. Today was tiring. Let's go to bed.
Hello?
Oh, Tiger-san?
Somebody calling himself Judan Arashi suddenly said he wanted to meet me.
The guy says he's Tiger Mask's master.
Do you know him?
Huh? Why?
This statue was carved by the founder of the Itto style, Ittosai Ito...
when he was holed up in the mountains trying to create his killer attack.
Really? The famous Ittosai Ito?
Amazing!
This statue contains the astounding perseverance of Ittosai.
Hmm.
Fukuwara-kun.
You're feeling the heat, aren't you?
Huh?
You wander, seeking your ideal pro wrestling.
Huh? Not really.
I can tell. I saw your fight on TV.
Hmm.
But, Fukuwara-kun...
The ideal pro wrestling you seek...
will not be found overnight, despite your eagerness.
Master!
You fool!
I'm having an important conversation!
Forgive me.
But, master, it's almost time to vacate.
Vacate?
Oh, this is a bit of an embarrassment.
Because of a fool named Handa, we are deep in debt.
We have to hand over this land and building.
What?
If we can just pay the interest, we can put off vacating for another month.
We need 3 hundred thousand, right, master?
If you'll let me, I can help.
T-Tiger-kun!
Ow ow ow ow!
Handa?
The Arashi Juken Style council gathered a few minutes ago and
they named me the new successor.
Osamu-chan.
I thought you might change your ways after becoming master, but...
it was no good.
You're expelled.
What? Don't be ridiculous!
If you continue to soil Master Arashi's name, I won't forgive you.
Y-You'll regret this!
Master, wait for me!
I'm sorry you had to see that.
Please forgive me.
Handa-san, I have a request.
Please fight with me.
You must be joking!
I could never beat the great wrestler, Tiger Mask.
I'm currently lost trying to make a new killer move.
I might find something by fighting you.
You probably won't find anything.
You've been hiding your fierceness as a martial artist until now.
When you showed it briefly, the fight was already over.
I want to feel that fierceness with my body.
Please!
Very well.
Really?
But if we're going to fight, I need to prepare.
I'll inform you of the time and place later.
If I'm going to fight, it'll be with a real sword.
Is that all right?
Yes.
Please.
Sorry. Let me fix my sandal.
Go ahead.
You just died right now.
This is the Hosshato secret attack Master Arashi mastered.
"To scratch an itch while asleep."
When you have an itch, you scratch it unconsciously.
It's an attack executed instinctively the same way.
That's the Hosshato.
There's nothing to lose by remembering it.
So, did that Hosshato give you a hint for a killer move?
No. Not yet.
But, someday...
When I fight with my life on the line...
it just might come in handy.
