I'm not saying this because I hate you.

But if it comes out that he killed himself because of his master's severe training,

everyone in the stable will suffer.

Can you take responsibility for this, Ryuoumaru?

Be a man!

Ryuoumaru hoped for a renewed career in the mixed martial arts ring,

but his hope has been smashed.

Excuse me, but aren't you Ryuoumaru?

I'm from Weekly Tuesday.

Fancy meeting you here.

Everyone is talking about your disappearance in Japan.

H-Hey, wait a minute!

You're nothing but a disgrace to the sumo world.

What are you doing?

Don't you dare look at me like that!

Such a powerful stomp...

It can't be...

Zhenjiao.

It's a Bajiquan move.

Bajiquan?

You mean, that Bajiquan?

After his disastrous defeat in the MMA match,

people said that Ryuoumaru went to China and learned Bajiquan.

You've exceeded our expectations, Ryuoumaru.

No...

Bajiquan is characterized by blows powered by the body's weight at a close range.

The former sumo wrestler Ryuoumaru

has found the martial art to which he is best suited.

Having said that,

I don't believe this is the end for the Takemiya style.

He didn't hesitate to break his arm.

Fujimaki!

The winner is Juzo Fujimaki!

My father was so pleased with you.

He said that if he searched the entire world,

he wouldn't find a better sparring partner.

The pleasure is all mine.

It's an honor to learn the Takemiya style from Master Izumi himself.

He said you're a quick learner,

that it felt like he was practicing with Shozan Matsuo.

No way.

He must've been exaggerating.

He doesn't compliment just anybody.

Oh, never mind.

I was just thinking that you don't speak with the local accent.

It's because I lived in Tokyo for a while.

I see.

You know what happened to me, don't you?

After the incident,

Father said it would be too hard for me to stay here.

You're a strong woman.

I like

strong people.

My master, Shozan Matsuo, told me when he was young that your grandfather,

Master Jusuke Izumi, taught him the basics of the Takemiya style.

That's right.

But I heard that Master Shozan adapted it to his own style

and became an even stronger martial artist.

Yes,

his strength has no limits.

You could say he is the strongest man in the world.

But Master Izumi and the Takemiya style are also both formidable.

Here in Nara, I have come to understand that.

And I'm curious to find out the strength of the man who inherited all that.

That man, Juzo Fujimaki, will never come back.

Are you sure?

I know because I killed him,

the Juzo who was a martial arts fighter.

Hey, Dude, don't take all day staring at it.

Let's go already!

Okay.

What's up?

Dude?

Nothing.

The winner is Fujimaki.

Hey.

Fujimaki.

That move...

A Takemiya style move. Chidoriotoshi.

A kind of joint lock.

That's not what I meant.

You almost killed him.

The Takemiya style doesn't shy away from killing an opponent.

I used one of the moves to kill a man.

It's why I ran away.

I calculated in cold blood that dropping him onto the stone

would ensure that I killed him.

I ran away from her eyes

that witnessed what I did.

But they were trying to tell me something else.

I didn't understand what it was,

so I ran away in shame.

Fujimaki?

Every cell of my body is steeped in the Takemiya style.

I can't stop myself during a match, and I become like I was just now.

What can I do?

Another swing and a miss?

Just show me what you meant by "breakthrough"!

Okay, okay.

Voilà!

Huh?

A report of the investigation on KODOKU.

KODOKU? Is that the urban legend you told me about?

The underground martial arts tournament is proof that it exists.

Where the heck did you...

It's a super-confidential document of the Chiyoda.

"Chiyoda"?

You mean "Zero"?

Quiet!

You didn't hack into the server of the NPASB, did you?

Well, it wasn't exactly hacking.

As we're part of the public security division,

I can view the document folder too.

But if they find out, both of us could be sacked.

Anyway, just look at this.

The National Police Agency got this from the FBI.

It's a list of those involved in sports gambling.

The FBI?!

There are names of celebs from all over the world.

Everyone from a big corporate CEO to a famous Hollywood producer...

See this?

Here is Serena Harland, the actress.

Not sure if it's true or not,

but the FBI says they're KODOKU's customers.

And they believe that KODOKU is being held somewhere in Japan right now.

Maybe you'd find Fujimaki there.

Where is it?

I have no idea.

Find out, Hikita!

Are you serious? How?

Use your willpower.

Unbelievable!

Wow! She's gorgeous.

She's not a competitor, is she?

Oh!

No way.

You've got to be kidding!

That's just unbelievable.

A stunner like that with...

Don't you think so, Fujimaki?

Yo, you two. So you're still alive?

My son and I were just about to eat.

Can we join you?

Huh? Oh, we don't mind.

That was good.

By the way, have you heard about Oleg?

He's got a gorgeous girlfriend, right?

His wife, apparently.

What?

But I'm not talking about that, kid.

He won against the kickboxer Schneider, Don Jose of lucha libre,

and the jujitsu master Paulo Emilio too.

We saw... Schneider die.

Then you know what happened to the other two.

What?

Rumor has it that he avoids a knockout so he can keep the match going.

And he never allows his opponent to concede.

Maybe we should be grateful that he got rid of our rivals,

but as a martial arts fighter, I can't forgive him.

Which martial art is Oleg's style based on?

His build seems to suit striking, utilizing his long reach.

Is it boxing?

His style is not based on any particular martial art.

If anything, he's the founder of his own style.

His own style?

Then what kind of martial art is it?

Martial art? It's no martial art.

It's the art of assassination.

The art of assassination?

They say he was part of the Special Forces.

Supposedly, it's similar to Systema or Krav Maga,

but nobody knows for sure.

Systema and Krav Maga? Both are used by the army.

I thought we could exchange info if you knew something,

but it seems you don't know anything new.

Aren't you hungry, Kaito?

Sorry, Kaito is shy with new people.

He was in a traffic accident two years ago.

He's been unable to walk ever since.

If I win KODOKU, the Sergeant has promised to give Kaito

an expensive treatment that's only available outside of Japan,

so he can walk again.

That's your prize, huh?

The winner is Fujimaki.

Yes!

I heard that Oleg also won.

Apparently, he tortured the savate fighter Bernard as he killed him.

Oh?

The name of this actress was...

Piece of cake. Just change this and this and...

Done!

Is that you, Hikita?

Tamon,

we're in trouble.

What's happened?

We're done.

What?

I'm sorry.

I've confessed to everything.

Not that one!

You are Detective Fuhito Tamon from Nara Prefectural Police, yes?

I'm Satomi, head of the National Police Agency Security Bureau.

Mr. Satomi,

I can explain. We hacked your server as part of our investigation.

I'm sorry that you had to come over here.

I was the one who asked for you.

Mr. Kuno is the director general of the PSIA of the Ministry of Justice.

The director general of the PSIA?

And that lady there is Ms. Becker, an investigation officer from the FBI.

Please have a seat.

We've been after The KODOKU Society for years.

As you may know,

they are holding the KODOKU tournament in Japan at the moment.

So we and the FBI have decided to cooperate secretly.

Our aim is to find out where KODOKU is being held

and arrest them all at once.

And?

Together with the FBI,

we listed the participants of KODOKU and are investigating them,

but Juzo Fujimaki had not been on our radar.

He seems to be a last-minute participant.

As you have been after Fujimaki for seven years, Mr. Tamon,

we'd like to ask for your cooperation.

And your brilliant partner's too.

On The KODOKU Society client list,

I found some names that I once saw on a leaked client list of a porn site.

The porn site is operated by the yakuza behind the Kurogami Staffing Service,

the very same agency that Fujimaki was working for in Hokkaido.

That means the yakuza connected to The KODOKU Society

is operating a porn site.

So I temporarily hijacked the site, found the accounts,

stole someone's identity, sent fake emails with a Trojan horse...

Get to the point!

I got help from my hacker pals abroad

and broke in through the back door to find this.

Yes!

We're now linked to the KODOKU livestream site.

Identify the location immediately.

Fujimaki...

Mifune won against Chen, the Shaolin kung fu fighter.

So that leaves you and Mifune.

With Oleg, that makes three of you.

It'll be hard to fight Mifune, huh,

having heard his story?

Which story?

You know, about his son.

He's doing this to earn money for his treatment.

Why do you think Mifune ate dinner with us?

Why? Because he wanted to exchange info about Oleg.

That's part of the reason.

But he may have played the sympathy card so my attacks wouldn't be as sharp.

You think so?

He is... a pro.

Fujimaki, your match starts now.

Damn!

You don't look as if you're gonna go easy on me.

You don't really want that, right?

That's the spirit!

I'll show you what real pro wrestling is.

So this is the body of a top wrestler.

You'd lose if you wrestled him.

But...

Fujimaki's more agile. He can't be beaten at hitting.

Three, two, three.

He predicted the high kick and countered with a lariat?

Fujimaki would never fail to avoid such a fatal blow!

What's going on?

One, three.

Three.

Two, one.

Fujimaki, it's Kaito!

The boy is sending Mifune some kind of code.

- A code? - Yeah!

But I can't tell what the system is.

Two, one, two.

Numbers?

The number system!

In boxing, you number your body parts,

and the boxer attacks according to the trainer.

But this isn't for attacking.

This may be for defense.

Get up, Fujimaki.

I heard a rumor of an interesting man in the underground martial arts world,

so I went to the arena to see for myself.

There, I saw Mifune

and a child, sat beneath the ring, who repeated numbers to him.

Mifune didn't receive a single blow and dominated his opponent.

Funnily enough,

the child could read the opponent's movements.

But the Takemiya style hardly uses any preliminary actions.

How the hell can he read them?
