Your fingers...

Your hair... Your soul...

It's all mine...

There itis.

Once he's serious, it's over.

National High School Kendo Competition

With his sword, the white flame takes the opponent's energy.

The white demon shows no mercy...

That's Ranmaru Samejima.

Individual competition winner. Koei High School's Ranmaru Samejima!

The legendary beautiful Ashura, the Warrior God, and...

What's wrong, Enjyoji?

Enjyoji!

Ranmaru!

No, this can't be! No!

No!

Ran.

Damn it, Ran. He could've woken me up.

Hot!

Hey, is Ranmaru here today?

Hey.

Hey, Enjyoji! Come on!

Shut up!

Listen to you guys. "Ran. Ran."

You guys sound like a bunch of groupies following a band around.

You live with him so it might be okay...

but we only get to see him on campus!

Yeah! Yeah!

You guys are idiots...

Wait! Hey! Is Ranmaru coming to the afternoon lecture?

He's out today.

Thus the dynamics of society have an effect on the economy.

As you can see from the graph...

Promise me. Promise me, Enjyoji...

That you won't try to avenge me.

But this happened because of my damn dad...

They were after me!

So you're going to follow in your father's footsteps?

I know your life carries the burden of blood from the past.

There's no turning back once you stray from your path...

For me...

Please don't do it for me, Enjyoji.

I can't do Kendo anymore...

and I don't want to lose you on top of it.

Please...

Forgive me...

Forgive me, Ran. I'm sorry...

Stop crying, you idiot.

I... I'll stay with you for the rest of your life and be your legs.

Yes... I'm going to protect you for the rest of your life.

I swear on my life.

That's it for today.

You're daydreaming. I guess you'll be needing my notes.

Ran... I didn't know you were here.

Didn't you get a chance to eat this morning?

There was a traffic jam so...

I bet you went back to bed and got to school late.

He's so cute. Ran...

My Ran is the best.

Ran! Ran!

Don't make such a fuss!

Sorry. I'm okay, Enjyoji.

My legs suddenly give out sometimes when the seasons change.

Ran...

It's okay. I can walk by myself.

Don't push yourself. I'll drive you home.

I can't go home yet.

I still have to go to work at the professor's office.

Who cares about that!

Don't be like that. Go home and I'll see you later, Enjyoji.

Okay?

It's that look. I can't say no to that.

I love the hardworking Ran too.

Research Room

Sorry I'm making you do this, Samejima.

It's a lot of work.

My last assistant was terrible.

Not at all... It's my job.

I see...

Oh, that's right!

Let's get a drink when we're done.

Sorry.

This is embarrassing, but I don't drink.

Don't be such a stink.

You don't have to drink.

I know a great place, but I don't want to go alone.

I see...

Then it's settled!

It's this way.

Welcome.

Is this...

A host club?

I was expecting to go to a bar...

but I didn't think we'd go to a host club.

At least it's not Enjyoji's store.

Professor! What a beautiful guest you've brought.

Cut it out. He's my student at the university.

Then let's leave it at that.

This is weird.

There are no female customers.

What would you like, Samejima?

Oh that's right. You don't drink.

Yes, sorry. Can I get an oolong tea?

Sure. Enjoy.

The way the hosts look... Their smiles...

Enjyoji told me about these places. This is...

Come on, relax.

Please excuse me.

Here you go.

Thanks.

Hey, I'll call for you guys later so can you leave us alone for now?

A gay club!

How could I have gotten myself into this?

I had no idea the professor was gay.

Sorry.

I just remembered I had to go somewhere.

Come on. We just got here.

Finish this at least.

Okay...

Calm down. I just started the job.

Just let this pass.

Here.

How dare he! He'll call us later, so leave them alone? I never!

Don't get so upset.

He has a really hot date.

He's hot, but...

He said he was his student...

but I doubt he knew where he was taking him.

I wonder if he'll be able to get out in one piece?

That professor is such a cling on.

I know! I can't believe he's a college professor.

God only knows what he teaches his students.

What's wrong, Samejima?

What the...

How could this be? I didn't drink.

Are you all right?

Maybe you got sick from the smell of alcohol?

You really can't drink, can you?

Rest back on the sofa.

Why don't we loosen your tie...

My body won't move... Enjyoji...

Kansai area takoyaki is much better, but...

You'll feel better in a second.

S... Someone!

H... Hey! Stop!

Hey!

How dare you touch him! I'll kill you!

Stop! Sagano!

Sagano... Did he say... Sagano?

S... Someone help me!

Say your prayers!

Stop... Sagano...

Samejima.

You're not getting away!

Sagano...

That's....

Kai Sagano!

Damn that pervert professor!

What are you going to do about it now?

But he violated my Ran. You're more important to me than my life!

Idiot! Of course he didn't.

But who knows what would have happened if Sagano wasn't there.

Sagano?

Yeah...

Do you remember him?

When we were seniors in high school...

he was the only first year that stood out in the high school Kendo world.

Kai Sagano.

But I remember him for his lonely look rather than his talent.

What's wrong, Enjyoji?

Nothing.

I'm exhausted. I'm going to bed.

I doubt it...

Ran.

I said I was tired.

Then let me tuck you in.

Whatever.

Let me do all the work.

Stop it, En...

You're so sensitive today.

Damn it. Is the drug still working?

Hey Enjyoiji...

What is it? I'm a bit busy right now.

Not there... No, I don't think I can today.

What is it?

I just can't.

Why not?

Professor Fumio Sakada is out sick. All his lectures are cancelled today.

Damn. Wasn't expecting that one.

Who are you?

About the accident three years ago...

The hit and run accident...

That was no accident.

What?

You're the only one that would have been targeted if it was intentional.

And he took your place.

How do you know that?

Are you... Sagano?

I've never forgotten your name.

No.

Your name isn't the only thing I remember, Enjyoji.

What are you looking for?

That thing that was sent from my mom's house.

Oh, the thing from when you were a kid...

You said, "What am I supposed to do with this?" and tossed it.

Did I throw it out?

No, I salvaged it.

Your grandmother does a good job keeping things.

Are these your parents?

Takeshi Sagano, Keiko, Kei

Sagano? Is this...

Found it. It's this.

Your little brother?

It can't be. I don't have a brother.

Kei 4 years old, Kai 2 years old

Kei 4 years old, Kai 2 years old Enjyoji!

My mother was a mistress, so she couldn't take my dad's last name.

The Don of the Shoryu Federation that runs the Kansai region...

Takeshi Sagano...

That's right. I completely forgot about your father's last name.

Then that means...

That's right. Kai Sagano is the wife's son.

Kai... I need to talk to you.

It's about your new mom.

A new mom?

Yes. You have an older brother too. You guys are real brothers.

A new mom...

No! I don't want a new mom! I want my real mom.

It has to be my real mom! No! No! No!

Okay. Okay.

Masa...

Yes.

Young Master. Let me take you to your room.

Come... There's no need to cry.

He's still so young.

The child of the mistress' kid was two years older. I couldn't believe my dad.

My family. My life.

And even my inspiration... He stole everything from me.

Kei Enjyoji!

I wasn't sure, so I contacted your old high school.

I wasn't expecting you to be in the same college.

Thanks for the other day. You saved me.

It hurts.

S... Sure.

I feel like I'm suffocating just being near him.

I don't want you to blame Enjyoji for what happened.

B... But! It's his fault you were...

It's true I quit Kendo because of the accident.

I lost a lot of things, but...

Losing him is what scares me the most.

When it happened... I heard him.

I heard him screaming my name while crying.

No. I don't want to hear it.

I have now...

With those eyes... With that voice...

Because Enjyoji was with me...

Don't say his name!

Sagano?

I've always looked up to you.

I believed I'd meet you one day if I did Kendo...

That one day my feelings would reach you!

Stop!

This admiration that's turned to love...

I thought you'd understand.

But... But...

Stop!

Do you want to fall that low, Sagano?

Did you honestly think I'd sink so low...

with someone who gave up Kendo so easily?

You're no match against Enjyoji right now.

I'm sorry, Enjyoji.

There's nothing I can do to help Sagano right now.

Wasn't expecting that punk to be at this college.

Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!

I came to this college for him and...

1 just wanted to see him from a distance.

I thought that's what I wished for.

Butl.. I...

You're no match against Enjyoji right now.

Enjyoji!

Welcome home. You're late.

Sorry. Did I wake you?

You have a morning class tomorrow, right?

Okay. Okay. Go back to bed...

Hey, Ran...

Something happen?

Nothing...

Liar.

This admiration that's turned to love...

I thought you'd understand.

But... But...

Enjyoiji...

Forgive me. There's nothing I can do.

He's the only one I...

Forgive me, Sagano...

Let's put an end to this, Enjyoji.

Meet me at three o'clock at Yokohama seaport.

Kai... You must hate me.

I stole your love... your admiration.

I'm sure you wish the worst upon me.

But, Kai...

I have only one thing I can't give you.

He means more than life itself.

You can't have him. Not him...

Not Ranmaru.

I'm here just like you said, Kai.

Don't you dare say my name!

If it wasn't for you and your mother, my mother could have died peacefully!

If it wasn't for you, he could have continued to do Kendo!

The same high stance as Ranmaru...

I guess that sword isn't a toy.

You shouldn't exist.

The name Enjyoji shouldn't exist in this world!

Are you done?

What?

Yap. Yap. Yap. What a whiny kid.

I'm sure it's easy to blame everything on someone else.

I'm all ears! Whine to your heart's content.

I... Pll kill you!

Bring it on!

If you want him, you'll have to kill me!

You thought you could fight Ranmaru with this?

Don't make me laugh, you idiot!

I heard you made it to the nationals but quit because Ranmaru wasn't there.

You don't know what it's like to be the son of a Yakuza!

Everyone's scared so they won't talk to you.

In high school... Even the Kendo club members!

There's nothing from that environment I can call my own!

Then are you telling me you made it to the nationals because of father?

Are you saying the competition is a sham? Are you saying...

Ranmaru won the individual competition because it was rigged? Well?

No!

Samejima is the real thing!

He's the only true swordsman I acknowledge!

There's one swordsman who equaled him in a fight.

It can't be.

Have you ever heard "It runs in the family?"

Ranmaru has a dream he never attained.

Do you know what that is?

A dream?

To be the number one swordsman of Japan.

The number one swordsman of Japan?

Do you want to see the top of the mountain?

You really are an idiot.

You're going to make the best swordsman of Japan your enemy.

Love burns greater when there are more obstacles.

Stop bluffing.

The air is smelling pretty rotten.

What? You got a problem with us?

I was hoping to do this after one of them was down, but...

They're pros.

You don't have to tell me.

Here, use this but with the sheath.

That's so lame.

What the...

Kei looks like much more of a Yakuza than them.

I guess I'll have some fun myself. It'll be a stress reliever!

That can't be. There's only two of you.

You got balls, old man.

So he's the pervert professor who assaulted Ran?

H... Help me!

You honestly think someone's going to help you?

Let's cut his balls off.

Crying isn't going to do you good. We're the sons of a Yakuza.

Well, until the number one swordsman returns...

make sure you don't get dumped.

You idiot!

Hurry up and leave!

He needs to learn how to shut up.

The number one swordsman of Japan, eh?

He might be a little tough.

Right, Ran?

Enjyoji!

Look at this! Here!

What is it?

You want to do it?

Okay. I'm up.

Anyway look at this!

Let's see...

Will Kai Sagano become the best swordsman in Japan?

Of course he will!

Of course he will. He's your brother!

Ran...

That damn kid.

I knew I should have pummeled him when I had a chance.

Oh, so you guys saw each other?

You guys made up without me knowing?

Good, I'm glad!

I have a feeling this isn't the end.
