HAJIME HANAFUSA
UNI OF TEITO'S FIGHTER
Operation complete.
KOKOMI YOSHIZAWA
NURSE, UNI OF TEITO
I'm exhausted.
-Doctor, how is he?
-Don't worry.
I've managed to bring him back.
MOKICHI ROBINSON, FIGHTER, SENTORY
(ELIMINATED)
Your brother is going to be fine.
ELENA ROBINSON
MOKICHI ROBINSON'S SISTER
Thank goodness.
Thank you so much.
I can't thank you enough.
You don't need to thank me.
It was a rare opportunity for me to fiddle
around inside a living fighter's body.
Doctor, don't say such a thing
in front of the family, please.
Look!
Their match just finished.
That guy...
FATHER AND SON
In the Kengan Life-or-Death Tournament,
the fifth match of Block A
is about to begin.
The crowd is thrilled to be witnessing
the fight of the century
between two superhuman fighters.
He's a decathlete known as
"The Immeasurable," Gozo Murobuchi.
GOZO MUROBUCHI
FIGHTER, UNITED CLOTHING
His opponent is a championship contender,
Takeshi Wakatsuki,
also known as "Wild Tiger."
TAKESHI WAKATSUKI
FIGHTER, FURUMI PHARMA
Murobuchi is described
as a modern Hercules.
However, he has suffered
one previous defeat.
And the man who defeated
him was Wakatsuki.
His challenge to
his long-standing foe begins now.
We have a winner.
The winner is Takeshi Wakatsuki.
That was... just incredible.
OHMA TOKITA & KAZUO YAMASHITA
YAMASHITA CORP.
He hardly seems human.
Ohma, do you think
you can you beat that guy?
-I'm hungry.
-What?
Wait. Are you sure you don't need
to watch the next match?
Nah. I don't care who I fight.
Hey, Ohma.
You don't even have your wallet.
Excitement is only going to mount
as the sixth match will start soon!
Oh, it's starting soon.
GAME SIX
This beautiful bird of darkness
dances bewitchingly.
Don't let him get you under his spell.
This devil of a man
is now entering the arena!
Standing 181 cm tall and weighing 74 kg,
his kengan match record is
four wins and no losses.
SAYAKA KATAHARA
DAUGHTER OF METSUDO KATAHARA
He has acquired total assets
of 21 billion, 90 million yen.
Representing Murder Music,
also known as "The Bird of Darkness",
Keizaburo Sawada!
It's finally my turn. I'm so excited.
KEIZABURO SAWADA
FIGHTER, MURDER MUSIC
And now, let's welcome the other fighter.
This German muscle monster is
about to let loose in the Far East.
He has the biggest muscles
in human history.
No matter how powerful the attack,
it'll have little effect on this man.
Standing 205 cm tall and weighing 210 kg,
his kengan match record is
51 wins and no losses.
He has amassed total assets of
1 trillion, 622 billion, 711 million yen.
Representing Toyo Electric Power Co,
also known as "The Monster,"
Julius Reinhold!
JULIUS REINHOLD
FIGHTER, TOYO ELECTRIC POWER CO
You've got ugly muscles.
Not my type at all.
We have a winner.
We what?
Due to Murder Music's default,
Julius Reinhold of Toyo Electric Power Co
will advance to the second round.
What the hell did you just say?
That was unexpected.
METSUDO KATAHARA
CHAIRMAN, KENGAN ASSOCIATION
ERIO KURE,
PATRIARCH OF THE KURE FAMILY
Someone's finally taking advantage of
this tournament's idiosyncrasies.
-Idiosyncrasies?
-Indeed.
This is a marathon tournament
spanning eight days in total.
There is plenty of time
to go on maneuvers.
Shall we penalize Toyo?
That's not necessary.
Let them do as they want.
I revised the rules to make it easier
for them to make deals under the table.
Let them maneuver as much as they like.
YOSHIKO TOGAWA
PRESIDENT, MURDER MUSIC
I'm sorry you had to go through this.
REN NIKAIDO
FIGHTER, BYAKUYA SHIMBUN COMPANY
Your brave decision has
ensured everything will go well.
Goddamn it. I'm sorry, Sawada.
Good job. We've got one position secured.
Meguro, you're up next.
MASAKI MEGURO
FIGHTER, UMIICHI SECURITIES
Time to break someone–-
I knew this must be what was going on.
You've gotta be kidding me, assholes.
You ganged up on a woman
and threatened her?
Do you even have balls? Huh?
What do you want, Keizaburo Sawada?
Ms. Togawa chose to default
of her own free will.
-It's unjust to--
-Shut up, you Chinese jerk.
Don't think you can get away with this
just because you're handsome.
I'm going to crush both of you.
Both of us?
Don't you mean the three of us?
You've gotta be kidding me.
I kicked him so hard
his brain should be mush.
Yoshiko, stay out of the way.
Sawada, fighting three fighters at once
is too much, even for you.
You know what?
Men don't act out of reason.
Ballet requires more
flexibility than any sport.
If a ballet dancer
acquired kicking skills,
how mighty would they be?
They would surpass
even a first-class martial artist.
What?
Hold on.
Keizaburo Sawada was
my opponent originally.
It makes sense for me to handle this.
I don't need backup.
Fine by me. You'll regret this.
Bring it on.
Take this.
I'm putting extra G-force...
into this fatal attack.
Sawada executed a successful kick
and destroyed Julius's cervical vertebrae.
Or so he thought.
A kick aimed at cervical vertebrae...
Is that your technique?
Techniques, secrets...
You fools are always
talking about those things.
But it's just drivel for the weak,
it's nothing more than that.
The truly strong don't need technique.
Sawada!
Just to be safe,
I'll break your left leg, too.
Darn. I missed.
Another fool to take down?
Oh no! I didn't think
anybody would be there.
I didn't see him
because he was in my blind spot.
They're Yamashita Corporation.
It could be a problem
if something were to happen.
I'll put him to sleep for a while.
I'm terribly sorry.
What?
He predicted perfectly the trajectory
of a needle that's thinner than a hair.
Who is this man?
Huh? I think I just saw something
whiz past.
-I have no choice.
-Nikaido.
That's enough.
KATSUMASA HAYAMI
CHAIRMAN, TOYO ELECTRIC POWER CO
Forget about Yamashita Corporation.
Masaki, you should head to the arena.
Your opponent is Muteba Gizenga.
He's a legendary mercenary.
Beat him to your heart's content.
Got it, old man.
You heard him. Let's drop it for now.
There will be no next time.
He... forgave me.
He's nicer than he looks.
Oh no! Are you all right?
Let's raise a toast to celebrate
your victory in the first round.
To Ohma!
-You're not joining me?
-I'm starving.
Please let me do
what typical a president would do.
I don't care about all that.
It's not a big deal, anyway.
It is. This is a huge step forward
for Yamashita Corporation.
Our company needs to pay off
the debt which I was forced into.
Whatever.
Anyway, it was lucky
that Dr. Hanafusa came by.
-I hope Mr. Sawada will get better soon.
-He'll be fine.
He looks shady but I hear
he's actually a very good doctor.
Ohma.
To tell you the truth,
I am very grateful to you.
All I used to do was flatter my boss,
but my life has changed completely.
I've started to see the world
in a different way, as a man.
What, Kazuo?
Do you want to fight, too?
No. Combat sports are not for me.
Says who?
It's only about being strong or weak.
That's all.
News flash from the Kengan
Life-or-Death Tournament.
-We just saw that man.
-We happened to be on the scene, huh?
A surprise attack?
This tournament is getting intense.
Who gives a shit?
It's their fault for getting attacked.
You know you could
get attacked too, Ohma.
Even though you're incredibly strong,
I'm still worried.
You have nothing to worry about, Kazuo.
-You're wrong. You should listen to me.
-You're drunk, aren't you?
Despite my appearance,
I'm old enough to be your father.
What's wrong with worrying
about my children?
I don't give a shit
about a father or whatever.
Besides, I'm not your son.
That's true.
Actually, I have a son,
though he never leaves his room.
I guess I have no right
to tell you what to do
seeing as I'm not
a good father to my own son.
-Where are you going, Ohma?
-To pee.
I'm Niko Tokita.
Call me Niko.
NIKO TOKITA
OHMA'S MASTER OF NIKO STYLE
You don't have a name, do you?
This area is between
Tokita and Shichi-ohma, right?
Okay. "Ohma."
From now on, you're Ohma Tokita.
Don't act like my father.
Thank you for your patience.
It's time to introduce the next fighters.
GAME SEVEN
Here comes the most
powerful creature in Africa,
the murder machine of the dark continent,
the ruthless mammonish warrior.
He has as many names
as there are legends about him.
A legendary mercenary is now entering
the kengan match battlefield.
Standing 199 cm tall and weighing 122 kg,
this is his first kengan match appearance.
Representing Iwami Heavy Industries,
also known as "The Genocider,"
Muteba Gizenga!
MUTEBA GIZENGA
FIGHTER, IWAMI HEAVY INDUSTRIES
TOMARI TOHGO
PRESIDENT, IWAMI HEAVY INDUSTRIES
Show them, Muteba, that duty and
compassion mean nothing at all.
And that it's the people who work
for money that are truly strong.
Muteba Gizenga, the legendary mercenary.
Looks like Iwami Heavy Industries
dropped a bundle on this.
That Iwami chick is wasting her efforts.
Next, let's introduce his opponent.
This man's background is unknown.
His fighting style is unknown.
This enigmatic monster is going to
run rampant in this kengan match.
Standing 195 cm tall and weighing 130 kg,
he makes his kengan match debut today.
Representing Umiichi Securities,
also known as "The Crying Man,"
Masaki Meguro!
I'm so excited.
Should I break him?
Or should I strangle him?
Or I could tear him apart.
He's crying blood!
Meguro is entering the arena
with tears of blood running down his face!
Watch me, Father.
I'm going to kill him better
than the way I killed you.
-I made it.
-Where's Ohma?
KAEDE AKIYAMA
NOGI GROUP CHAIRMAN'S SECRETARY
-He told me to not to wait for him.
-Okay.
That's the guy who attacked Mr. Sawada.
I had no idea he was a kengan fighter.
I'm going to kill him. Kill... Kill...
Kill... Kill... Kill... Kill...
You're breathing very heavily.
You're a psycho, aren't you?
Take your stance.
Fight!
That's judo.
Perfect.
M... Meguro got the mount.
Play with him, Masaki.
My father told me...
that judo is the strongest martial art.
Cut the crap.
Muteba's trying hard to escape the mount.
But it seems like his punches are less
effective because of his position.
Hey. Why aren't you wearing anything?
I can't pull my usual move on you.
Meguro is strangling him!
You can't breathe?
Of course you can't.
If you see my father on the other side,
tell him that I'm very grateful
to him for teaching me judo.
Tell him yourself.
He smashed his eyeball!
He barely flinched!
In that case...
I'll only ask you once.
I was hired to win, not to kill.
I'll let you choose.
Will you surrender or die?
Did he just gain more power?
Impossible. Does he not feel pain?
Damn freak.
Wh... what is going on here?
Meguro's suffered substantial injuries,
yet is somehow able to
continue to attack Muteba!
I remember.
My father told me something else.
His eye-for-an-eye policy was
two eyes for one eye!
Meguro gouged his eyes out.
Does this man not have a human heart?
Here you go.
He got his testicles.
That's Muteba's one brutal strike.
What are those people doing?
This is not combat sport.
I don't understand.
Is he immortal?
-Euphoria?
-Correct.
It's one of the effects
of endogenous opiates,
such as endorphins and dopamine.
In other words, it's a pleasant sensation
produced by the brain.
Meguro has a unique constitution
in which his brain secretes natural drugs
in proportion to the pain he feels.
In short, any injury he receives
is converted into pleasure.
Although I have made some adjustments.
-He's smiling. Meguro is wearing a smile!
-What's wrong? What's wrong?
Are you okay, Father?
Oh. You're suffering.
Okay, then. Let me finish you off.
Don't cry.
That's no use.
I can see you as well as if you were
sitting in the palm of my hand.
Muteba threw him away!
JERRY TYSON, FIGHTER, 22ND CENTURY FAX
(ELIMINATED)
I don't understand
what's going on here at all.
Didn't Muteba lose his vision?
How was he able to dodge Meguro's attacks
and deliver his blow?
The fighters have discovered his secret.
Muteba Gizenga,
he was blind from the start.
No way. That's impossible.
He's been watching the matches
on the monitors.
Are you dumb? He wasn't watching.
He was listening to the fighters'
movements through the monitor.
Sounds.
He uses echo location to detect terrain
and predicts the moves his opponents
will make by picking up sounds.
Smell.
He determines the number of his enemies,
their physical health and equipment
based on smell.
Finally, touch.
He fine-tunes the terrain information
he has already gathered.
In his world, he can see better than
an ordinary man.
How can you see?
You really are amazing... Father.
He's put his elbow back into its position.
Enough absurdity.
Just die, you monster!
You haven't trained your insides,
have you?
Masaki. Masaki.
"KEEP OUT! NO TRESPASSING"
Answer my question.
Why did you have to kill
your senior disciples?
Because I couldn't help it.
I've been holding it in for 13 years.
I couldn't hold myself back anymore.
I realized my son was not human.
He was just a monster
who'd been playing the role of a human...
called Masaki Meguro.
That was fun.
Meguro!
We have a winner.
The winner is Muteba Gizenga.
He was just a beast, after all.
It's not important.
We have one fighter...
actually, no, we have two fighters
moving into the second round.
That was horrible.
He delivered the death blow
without hesitation.
-Killing him was going too far.
-I don't think so.
He died because he was weak.
The weaker one dies. It's the natural
order of things, isn't it?
That's not true, Ohma.
Killing somebody is never a good thing.
As a matter of interest,
you haven't killed anyone, have you, Ohma?
There's no need for you to feel guilty.
I lost because I was weaker than him.
That's all.
But Ohma...
Don't come over...
to this side.
You wouldn't understand.
-Ohma?
-Sorry. I'm going to take a nap.
I'm a little tired.
Ohma.
Ohma Tokita.
Poor man.
He doesn't have much time left.
PREVIEW
Sumo or Pro-Wrestling?
That's the philosophical question
engraved on men's life stories.
Neither one of them will give an inch.
What do you believe in?

Of course you can't.
If you see my father on the other side,
tell him that I'm very grateful
to him for teaching me judo.
Tell him yourself.
He smashed his eyeball!
He barely flinched!
In that case...
I'll only ask you once.
I was hired to win, not to kill.
I'll let you choose.
Will you surrender or die?
Did he just gain more power?
Impossible. Does he not feel pain?
Damn freak.
Wh... what is going on here?
Meguro's suffered substantial injuries,
yet is somehow able to
continue to attack Muteba!
I remember.
My father told me something else.
His eye-for-an-eye policy was
two eyes for one eye!
Meguro gouged his eyes out.
Does this man not have a human heart?
Here you go.
He got his testicles.
That's Muteba's one brutal strike.
What are those people doing?
This is not combat sport.
I don't understand.
Is he immortal?
-Euphoria?
-Correct.
It's one of the effects
of endogenous opiates,
such as endorphins and dopamine.
In other words, it's a pleasant sensation
produced by the brain.
Meguro has a unique constitution
in which his brain secretes natural drugs
in proportion to the pain he feels.
In short, any injury he receives
is converted into pleasure.
Although I have made some adjustments.
-He's smiling. Meguro is wearing a smile!
-What's wrong? What's wrong?
Are you okay, Father?
Oh. You're suffering.
Okay, then. Let me finish you off.
Don't cry.
That's no use.
I can see you as well as if you were
sitting in the palm of my hand.
Muteba threw him away!
JERRY TYSON, FIGHTER, 22ND CENTURY FAX
(ELIMINATED)
I don't understand
what's going on here at all.
Didn't Muteba lose his vision?
How was he able to dodge Meguro's attacks
and deliver his blow?
The fighters have discovered his secret.
Muteba Gizenga,
he was blind from the start.
No way. That's impossible.
He's been watching the matches
on the monitors.
Are you dumb? He wasn't watching.
He was listening to the fighters'
movements through the monitor.
Sounds.
He uses echo location to detect terrain
and predicts the moves his opponents
will make by picking up sounds.
Smell.
He determines the number of his enemies,
their physical health and equipment
based on smell.
Finally, touch.
He fine-tunes the terrain information
he has already gathered.
In his world, he can see better than
an ordinary man.
How can you see?
You really are amazing... Father.
He's put his elbow back into its position.
Enough absurdity.
Just die, you monster!
You haven't trained your insides,
have you?
Masaki. Masaki.
"KEEP OUT! NO TRESPASSING"
Answer my question.
Why did you have to kill
your senior disciples?
Because I couldn't help it.
I've been holding it in for 13 years.
I couldn't hold myself back anymore.
I realized my son was not human.
He was just a monster
who'd been playing the role of a human...
called Masaki Meguro.
That was fun.
Meguro!
We have a winner.
The winner is Muteba Gizenga.
He was just a beast, after all.
It's not important.
We have one fighter...
actually, no, we have two fighters
moving into the second round.
That was horrible.
He delivered the death blow
without hesitation.
-Killing him was going too far.
-I don't think so.
He died because he was weak.
The weaker one dies. It's the natural
order of things, isn't it?
That's not true, Ohma.
Killing somebody is never a good thing.
As a matter of interest,
you haven't killed anyone, have you, Ohma?
There's no need for you to feel guilty.
I lost because I was weaker than him.
That's all.
But Ohma...
Don't come over...
to this side.
You wouldn't understand.
-Ohma?
-Sorry. I'm going to take a nap.
I'm a little tired.
Ohma.
Ohma Tokita.
Poor man.
He doesn't have much time left.
PREVIEW
Sumo or Pro-Wrestling?
That's the philosophical question
engraved on men's life stories.
Neither one of them will give an inch.
What do you believe in?
