FEDERAL DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF NEPAL
This is Nepal.
In the Himalayas, 5,000 meters above sea level,
there is a tribal village.
A boy used to live there, called the "monstrous child."
His name was Haru.
HARU, 15 YEARS OLD
He was the leader of the village and the tribe's strongest warrior.
I found a lot of goats, so caught some for you all.
A few years later...
Oh, you're really quite big!
AKIO KOHNO A MAN FROM JAPAN
Come to Japan with me, Haru.
I have no doubt you will become the mightiest kengan fighter.
He described what a kengan match was to Haru...
and told him he was looking for a fighter.
He also told Haru that he'd come to Nepal because he'd heard rumors about him.
I've been dreaming for a long time...
about fighting with my full force, even just once.
But if I leave...
What's bothering you?
Everyone here in the village will always support you.
You guys...
-This village is too small for you. -Sir...
Go and see the outside world with your own eyes, Haru.
It's always been your dream to fight all out, hasn't it?
This isn't our last goodbye.
You can come back anytime, after you've woken from this dream. Okay?
The man went back to Japan, taking Haru with him.
He immediately adopted Haru and secured Japanese citizenship for him.
What's this? Is a festival taking place?
There are so many more people here than in my village.
Is that what they call a building?
It's bigger than the Himalayas!
Here comes some fatty tuna!
What kind of meat is this?
D... Delicious!
You can get food in this country without having to hunt for it?
The picture's moving! No, go right!
Damn it! This monster turtle...
You're so easily blown away, you dumb hick.
I'll hypnotize you with all this trash and turn you into my puppet.
And now...
A life of satisfaction and overindulgence can sometimes turn poisonous.
The poison of a luxurious lifestyle has steadily corroded Haru's spirit.
Don't mess me around!
And then, Haru became Haruo.
SAYAKA KATAHARA METSUDO KATAHARA'S DAUGHTER
Let's welcome the fighters!
GAME TWO
A hitman from the game industry.
The strongest game-loving hermit in history is about to walk into the ring.
Let's see if he can triumph at every stage of the tournament!
Standing 242 cm tall and weighing 315 kg,
his kengan match record is four wins and no losses.
He has acquired total assets of 301 billion, 246 million yen.
Representing Nentendo,
also known as "The Destroyer,"
Haruo Kohno!
KAZUO YAMASHITA PRESIDENT, YAMASHITA CORP.
He's gigantic!
HARUO KOHNO FIGHTER, NENTENDO
-Hey... give me a snack. -Not right now, okay?
Wow, he really is tremendously big.
SHUNKA HIYAMA PRESIDENT, WAKASA INSURANCE
Akoya.
Can you hear me?
Yeah, no problem.
-Great. -Let's go, Hiyama.
The supreme power of the state is here on Ganryu Island.
Nothing can break his iron-hard body.
Nothing can fluster his stone-cold heart.
He heads up the riot squad,
the most fearsome unit in the Metropolitan Police Dept.
Standing 191 cm tall and weighing 114 kg,
his kengan match record is 39 wins and no losses.
He has amassed total assets of 191 billion, 115 million yen.
Representing Wakasa Life Insurance, also known as "The Executioner,"
Seishu Akoya!
SEISHU AKOYA FIGHTER, WAKASA LIFE INSURANCE
It's time to enforce justice.
JUSTICE
That guy is strong.
RINO KURAYOSHI & REI MIKAZUCHI
It's a different block... but we should still be careful.
GENSAI KUROKI FIGHTER, MOTOR HEAD MOTORS
Rei, you're very vigilant.
RYO INABA FIGHTER, PENASONIC CORPORATION
WAKASA LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
MUTEBA GIZENGA FIGHTER, IWAMI HEAVY INDUSTRIES
Seems the thugs noticed it, too. It's strange, isn't it?
Why do you think we feel like that policeman has a similar aura to our own?
It's the battle of the Destroyer versus the Executioner.
-Let's see which one will survive! -Get set!
Fight!
I've started analyzing.
LIHITO
OHMA TOKITA
That fatso moves fast.
He's not just a big pig.
KAEDE AKIYAMA NOGI, CHAIRMAN'S SECRETARY
He did a backflip!
JERRY TYSON, FIGHTER, 22ND CENTURY FAX (ELIMINATED)
Kohno throws his huge body around effortlessly,
while weighing over 300 kg!
He knocked up against him!
Akoya has been smashed into the wall!
I want to play video games...
How is he able to move that way?
Haruo Kohno truly is a monster, he's so much worse than I'd heard.
Do you know him, Ms. Akiyama?
There was a battle royal before,
for the right to develop the next generation of consoles.
Every company sent their strongest fighters
but the result was a resounding victory for Haruo Kohno from Nentendo.
Great, Haruo.
AKIO KOHNO PRESIDENT, NENTENDO
Finish him off quickly.
Ridiculous.
RIDICULOUS
SAW PAING YOROIZUKA FIGHTER, VILLAGE OF DAWN
-Hey, he fended it off. -That's the Great Shield.
GAOLAN WONGSAWAT FIGHTER, YAZU TRADING
I’ve got it, he uses the "art of arrest" as his fighting style.
Art of arrest.
Police officers in charge of criminal investigations acquire this martial art
which specializes in restraining and subduing the opponent.
It was developed
by mixing Japanese kung fu, the Japanese art of fencing, and jujitsu,
to fight not only with bare hands but also using various weapons.
He's just like a gladiator.
Still, it doesn't mean he's immune to damage.
Is his body made of steel?
Why isn't he falling down?
He slashed his arm!
It looks like Lihito's Razor's Edge.
What the hell did you do?
That technique is radically different to my Razor's Edge.
He cuts his opponent's skin using his knuckles.
You're a stubborn pig.
I don't think he's badly injured, despite the fact he's bleeding a lot.
I'd say it's more of a harassment technique.
-What's wrong, Tokita? -I'm going to bed.
You don't want to watch the match?
Neither of them are serious.
It'd be a waste of time watching them fight.
Not serious?
Akoya, I'm done.
-I've finished analyzing. -Roger.
Let's finish this.
BEAR KILLER
LOW RIGHT FOOT EDGE KICK
LOW LEFT PUNCH
RIGHT PALM HEEL PUNCH
A counter!
Haruo!
You bastar--
Wow! Akoya's stream of attacks just won't stop!
I hate you!
He surely can't escape this!
It's not fair to take off your clothes!
Just surrender.
Your attacks won't reach me anymore.
For the sake of justice, you shall die right now.
You guys are unlucky. You pissed off our boss.
Stop this now.
I am going to enforce justice.
That was a close one.
They sent their hatchet men after us just for stealing their boss's car.
They're crazy!
And... who are you?
Shoot me. I'll let you go if you can kill me.
What?
You jerks stole a car belonging to the boss of a yakuza group.
Then, while you were escaping, you knocked someone down.
Luckily, the victim was only slightly injured.
But I don't give a shit about that.
That's not sufficient reason to let scum like you live.
That's insane. You're going to kill me just for that?
If you want to kill someone, kill those yakuza bastards instead!
TADASHI KATO LEADER OF GODO-KAI
Don't worry. They've already been executed.
You're mad!
Justice enforced.
SEISHU AKOYA CAPT. 44TH RIOT SQUAD
Well done. Get in.
SHUNKA HIYAMA PRESIDENT, WAKASA LIFE INSURANCE
I'll take you home.
Hiyama. I told you not to come.
So, how long are you going to keep doing this?
-How about taking a break? -Don't be ridiculous.
Justice doesn't rest. I'll keep fighting...
until the day evil is finally rooted out.
It's useless.
Your attacks won't hit me anymore.
Don't you think that technique looks quite similar to your attack prediction?
RYO HIMURO GINOKUNIYA BOOKSHOP'S PREVIOUS FIGHTER
Actually, no.
SUEKICHI KANEDA GINOKUNIYA BOOKSHOP'S CURRENT FIGHTER
At first glance, it looks the same as my attack prediction.
But I feel something different.
Don't take it seriously, Haruo. He's bluffing!
What are you waiting for, you slug?
You don't want to be sent back to your country, do you?
Return there?
To the village with no games, no comics, and no computers?
No.
I'm not going back there!
-He stabbed the wound! -That rat!
The true purpose of the technique he used was to enable him to gouge the flesh.
As I thought, he's an asshole.
TWO LIVER SHOTS
-Liver shots. -That sure worked.
Something's weird.
I don't know how to say this, but Akoya looks like...
he's being manipulated by someone else.
Damn! Why aren't my attacks reaching him?
MIDDLE RIGHT ROUND KICK
Okay, perfect.
What I analyze is intervals.
In other words, the timing of a person's breathing.
That's the moment a man is at his most vulnerable.
Everyone has their own pattern of breathing.
Using my biological clock, I analyze the opponent's breathing pattern.
The signals I then send to Akoya depend upon the pattern. That's it.
That's all I can do, because I only have ordinary reflexes.
The game plan works
because my partner is Akoya and he has extraordinary natural reflexes.
He is a combat machine which I manipulate.
It should even be possible for us...
to win against Fang of Metsudo now.
He's injured!
I am strong!
In the Himalayas,
I am the strongest!
-Akoya, it's time to finish him. -Understood.
I have no mercy for anyone who disrupts justice.
Enforcement complete.
Haruo! What the hell are you doing?
You're a useless piece of crap!
-Stand up, Haruo! -Can you continue, Kohno?
Bring a stretcher! Hurry up now!
The winner--
What the...
He's unconscious.
But he has some murderous aura.
Look at that.
He's back.
Right, chief.
Haru, the strongest soldier of the Himalayas, has come back.
I don't... lose.
A warrior... never loses.
His fighting instinct made him get up even though he hasn't regained consciousness.
Even so, a man who's been battered like he has shouldn't be able to stand.
It's not a problem, Akoya. Haruo Kohno's already been analyzed.
No matter how many times he stands up, he'll never be able to win against us.
So quick! Has his breathing changed?
The weight of his blows has increased.
What on earth has happened to him?
Hang in there, Akoya. I'll reanalyze him.
After moving to Japan, he changed completely,
and enjoyed a luxurious lifestyle.
But that is the true form of Haru, the strongest of all Gurkhas.
GURKHA SOLDIERS
Gurkha soldiers are a fierce band of mercenaries.
The mixed troop consists of several mountain tribes.
Having been raised in the harshest of environments,
they possess a toughness which those living in the lowlands can never match.
Throughout history, political leaders from all over the world have hired them.
One man was said to be the strongest of all Gurkha soldiers.
They feared him, believing him to be the incarnation of Indra.
That man is Haru.
He's unstoppable!
Kohno continues his one-sided pummelling of Akoya.
Is this the same man who was on the backfoot only minutes ago?
I need a little more time.
Sorry, Akoya. Hang in there for a few more minutes.
Hurry up, Hiyama. You don't have much time.
Gee, what a spectacle!
Wait, what's that?
His face looks...
Greed is a deadly poison that corrupts people.
His emerging instinct as the God of War is rejecting the poison.
His speed has increased again.
-I need to recalculate. -You don't need to.
Time's up, Hiyama.
Wow, look at those fierce punches!
He's raining blows down upon him like a pneumatic hammer!
Is there nothing left for Akoya to do?
Can you hear me, Akoya?
I can finish analyzing in 15... No, 12 seconds. Please, Akoya.
Follow my command.
Save your breath, Hiyama.
I told you, time's up.
Haruo Kohno will die... because of your incompetence.
Haruo Kohno.
You must die for justice.
It hurts!
His knee has already reached its critical limit.
It must've always been under massive strain due to his great weight.
In addition, it's taken a tremendous kicking from Akoya.
His knee must surely be at its breaking-point!
You have had a narrow escape.
The...
The game is over!
The winner is Seishu Akoya.
Justice doesn't lose.
I can't believe this...
Haru!
It's up to you, Haru, whether you repent or keep falling.
You must make the decision on your own.
-Sen. -I know.
He was outrageous as usual.
SEN HATSUMI, FIGHTER, NOGI GROUP HIDEKI NOGI, CHAIRMAN, NOGI GROUP
He withstood every single attack from that monster,
shifting the impact point every time.
That's Seishu Akoya.
His defense is one of the hardest to break of all the kengan fighters.
The Metropolitan Police Department keeps an exceptional monster as its pet.
Akoya!
Sorry, I panicked when he made those unexpected moves
and my analysis was delayed.
I don't want any excuses.
You held me back. That's the truth of it.
You've disappointed me, Hiyama.
I'll play the next match alone.
No... you can't do that, Akoya!
If you do that, you could...
Please, think it over. I promise not to make any more mistakes.
I'll do anything you want.
Don't abandon me. I'm begging you.
I'll punish you later.
This will be the last time I forgive you, Hiyama.
Understood.
PREVIEW
