04:27!Ugh
04:28!Ugh
04:28!Ugh
04:28!Ugh
04:29!Ugh!
04:38What do you think you're doing, Mitsu?You
04:41can't do that to an opponent who hasn't engaged you!I've
04:45been practicing martial arts for a long timeIt's
04:48rare to feel a fighting aura as vicious as hisBelieve
04:52me...you came at me firstEven so,
04:55Please tell him the following
04:58On the day of the match
04:59I'll be sure to wear a sturdier leg
05:01I'll see you both in three days
05:05How earnest of you
05:08You're an endearing man, Ming warrior
05:13There's no need for an explanation
05:16I can easily tell from observing the footage
05:19That the man is the real deal
05:20And my friend, that is all I'd need to know
05:27Is that so?
05:30Forgive me for pride
05:32But I've heard some rumors about the upcoming match
05:35Weapons are permitted
05:37Making it the first armed battle in that arena
05:39Yes, and the exception was requested by Retsu himself
05:43So Musashi has no reason to object to it
05:46Then I am not joking when I say
05:47That perhaps Retsu should prepare a machine gun
05:52Uh...
05:52If weapons are permitted, all bets are off
05:55Noble Elder, I really respect the inserts of someone like you
05:59An aficionado of martial arts and combat sports alike
06:03All right
06:05Wait, beating around the bush, Motebe
06:07What are you really trying to say?
06:10It pains me, but those without true combat experience
06:13Have limited vision
06:14Making rash decisions with grave consequences
06:19You're rather blunt today
06:20Tell me what's causing you to be so direct
06:23Mitsunori, you've outed yourself as an amateur
06:27Accidentally, of course, but there's a truth you're missing
06:30Musashi is a monster among monsters
06:36I intend no offense
06:38But the fact is, you do not understand that man even in the slightest
06:43You think my passion's given me tunnel vision
06:46Think what you will, but don't forget
06:48Retsu volunteered and made the request that weapons be permitted himself
06:52Would you call him an amateur too?
06:56Have you forgotten what kind of man he is?
06:59Anyone who knows Retsu knows that the details of this match are exactly what would be expected of him
07:05That's just the sort of man Retsu has always been
07:09Once he encounters a foe that he deems strong, his honor demands he fight them
07:13Should it cost him an arm, a leg, or even his life?
07:17That is simply Retsu's nature
07:19Come on, Tokugawa, everyone knows that
07:22I see what you mean
07:27Not to mention that his opponent is none other than the Musashi Miyamoto in the flesh
07:33I don't want to wake up from this dream
07:35Shall I presume that you also want to fight him, Yuzo?
07:39Yeah
07:41I guess so
07:43But in my case, it's different
07:45It's not so much about fighting
07:47But instead
07:50Protecting
07:52Wait, wait, what?
07:53Protecting?
07:55Musashi Miyamoto is well known as a master with swords
07:58But that doesn't mean it's his only skill
08:01Most of the samurai back then
08:03They didn't just stick to one martial art
08:06Swords, spears, bows, staffs, naginata, shuriken, ropes, horses
08:13He's mastered them all
08:14There's nothing he can't handle
08:16And?
08:18I trust you know I don't mean this as a boast
08:20But I too have mastered all of those martial arts
08:24That's something that even Yujiro Hanma can't say
08:29I can't think of another person who could do it
08:32So I'm the only one who can protect them from Musashi
09:02I wonder if he is ready
09:05I'll see you
09:05Not bad at all.
09:07Your mastery of weapons hasn't lost its edge in the slightest.
09:11I'd say your skills are continuing to improve, Retsu.
09:15Thank you, Master.
09:37I got him. So how the hell is he still standing?
09:41He's got a massive build, and yet he's as light as a feather.
09:56This is pronounced Shao-li.
09:58You hammer your bones, you pound your muscles, you temper your skin.
10:03These acts of strengthening turn your body into a thick wall.
10:07A defense that repels ordinary blows like they're nothing.
10:11This much I have shared with you in previous lessons.
10:14However, this isn't considered a technique per se.
10:18Shao-li is different from any advanced techniques you're familiar with.
10:22How is it done?
10:24You simply become this.
10:26A feather.
10:29I knew it!
10:30There's an unconscious tension running through you.
10:34A stiffness buried within your muscles, bones, and tendons.
10:38Hiding in the deepest parts of your flesh.
10:40First, that tension must be eliminated.
10:43As it melts away, your hardened flesh becomes like an ice pack.
10:48Pliable and flexible.
10:50Then as fragile as paper, and finally, light as a feather.
10:54Once you reach that state, the wall ceases to exist.
10:58The wind, bullets, even missiles, are useless as they pass right through you.
11:07If you perfect Shao-li and can transform into a feather...
11:20Even the sharpest blade can't touch you.
11:27Dual wielding isn't exclusive to Musashi.
11:37How can they be so different?
11:39This looks nothing like Musashi's technique.
11:41Japanese swordsmanship is simple and unadorned.
11:44Putting everything into a single stroke.
11:46It has a strange sort of stillness to it.
11:48Whereas Chinese swordsmanship has a dynamic and athletic vitality.
11:52The embodiment of movement itself.
11:57Attack sharply, but defend with effortless grace.
12:00I would think you learned this during your karate studies.
12:03The heart of Chinese martial arts passed down since ancient times.
12:08Imagine a crane trying to catch a snake.
12:10This precept is believed to have come from that image.
12:14The snake struggles against the attacks from the crane's beak.
12:17Frustrated its strikes back.
12:19But the crane's graceful movement allows it to dodge every strike.
12:24And in the end, the snake is subdued.
12:28But that won't do.
12:31Defending gracefully only works in unarmed combat.
12:36Even the most elegant movement can be cut down by a sword.
12:39Retsu, stand up.
12:43Be a bottle gourd.
12:45And sway with the motion.
12:51Become a feather.
12:53If you move in unison with my sword, then Musashi can't cut you.
13:03I'm ready.
13:11I'm ready.
13:12He almost looks like a painting.
13:16I wonder what he's training for.
13:44Hmm.
13:45Just barely satisfactory.
13:49Become a feather.
13:51I understand the concept, but...
13:54Is this what it takes?
13:56Should this even be allowed?
14:02It's time for the Sea King Retsu to show his skill.
14:09Yeah!
14:16He hit!
14:26But he didn't get caught.
14:27He really pulled it off.
14:29The second try was better than the first.
14:32The third better than the second.
14:35Witness the Sea King.
14:36A man who became a feather in only four tries.
14:41You've done well.
14:49See with your spirit as you see with your eyes and become a feather that sways.
14:54Move your body and never resist the line of an attack.
14:58Your feet and hands become the breeze and you shall be the wind.
15:08Impressive for one with such a thick body.
15:13You have mastered the art of Shaoli.
15:22You plan to use that technique?
15:27You're gonna take on Musashi's blade with that?
15:31Isomotope.
15:32Four thousand years of Chinese history.
15:36And that's the best you've got.
16:03This blade is so long and heavy.
16:08And yet you're able to draw it so easily.
16:12There's got to be a trick that lets you draw it to that speed.
16:17Right?
16:19You don't use your hands to draw the sword.
16:22It's in the hips.
16:24Draw from the hips.
16:26Slash from the hips.
16:27In a single straight slice.
16:29Otherwise you'll never make it in time.
16:31And your path to victory vanishes.
16:35Answer me Retsu.
16:37Do you really believe this new technique was all you needed?
16:39That a master swordsman like him will be fooled by a circus trick?
16:48Now, now, now.
16:50You are a warrior who respects the old Japanese style, but you go too far.
16:55He knew Motabe style just by looking at him?
16:58I trained, tested, and gave him my seal of approval in Shaoli.
17:03Don't agree with my judgment?
17:09You don't know any better, that's all.
17:11You come from China, how would you?
17:14You don't learn about warring states' principles.
17:19Facing off in that era, meant at least one of the duelists would be killed.
17:25It didn't matter if it was a low-level battle.
17:28Back in his day, if two people fought, somebody ended up dead.
17:31It was completely different from modern martial arts, where you can fight and lose over and over again.
17:37What we practiced today was passed on through time, but much of the knowledge was lost.
17:41Even if what we used to fight with is incomplete.
17:44We continue the practice the best we can!
17:51I understand.
17:53Alright, I'm willing to hear your recommendation.
17:57You should withdraw.
17:59To be honest, I'm not sure you'd even win a fist fight against him.
18:03And you're ready to face him with a weapon he's mastered?
18:06You could step into the ring with a machine gun and still lose.
18:10I will not tolerate such an insult.
18:15Retsu, listen to me. Musashi can cut through anything.
18:19Whether it's hard as iron or light as a feather.
18:23Alright, Motobe. What do I have to do?
18:27If you still want to fight him, you'll have to get through me first.
18:38Tomorrow night, the arena won't be filled with chairs this time.
18:43It'll be a deafening silence instead.
18:57The day before the forbidden match.
19:04Stretched into evening.
19:07Get through you first.
19:08That sounds an awful lot.
19:10Like a threat.
19:12Are you telling me that I've got to fight you and win?
19:16Or else I can't pass?
19:18That's the only way your words make sense.
19:21Motobe.
19:22I really hope I'm wrong about that.
19:28Well, Retsu.
19:30Sorry, but you're not mistaken.
19:48I'm uninjured.
19:51A fierce attack.
19:52You would have destroyed my elbow had I been slower.
19:56Retsu, you're a master of Kenpo.
19:58I can't exactly afford to hold back.
20:00Better that than having my head crushed.
20:23Incredible.
20:24Everyone knows how strong Retsu is, but I had no idea that Izo Motabe was at that level too.
20:31I'd expect nothing less from you, Retsu.
20:34You may very well be stronger than me, but it doesn't matter.
20:44You're not stronger than Musashi.
20:53Moron.
20:54It's the night before the big fight.
20:56Sir.
20:58Were you going to take him half-heartedly?
21:01What would have happened if I hadn't put a stop to it?
21:05You wouldn't have gotten away unharmed.
21:08I guess not I.
21:10Then don't you dare say I don't mind a bit.
21:15Musashi could take it as an offense if you show up to the arena hurt.
21:22Just go get some rest already.
21:36The night of the match, the underground arena beneath Tokyo Dome was filled with a strange energy.
21:43No doubt this was due to the fact that spectators were about to see something truly unusual.
21:50Groin strikes, eye gouges, biting.
21:54Everything was allowed.
21:56That should be interesting enough, right?
21:58And yet, some craved to see the fighters go even further.
22:02On this day, every member of the audience was confronted with a question.
22:07Did they want to see a match, or a fight to the death?
22:11What would they witness?
22:13Martial arts, or a bloodbath?
22:42What is it?
22:44What is it?
22:45Yeah.
22:46So, I don't wear a mask.
22:47In my mind, I'll be back here.
22:50It is fine.
22:52A fisca f созda.
22:56I won't be able to wear an outfit.
22:57I can't wear a mask.
22:58I can't wear one.
23:00You're right now.
23:01You're right now.
23:01So, you're right now.
23:04I'm not wearing wearing a mask.
23:05So, you're right now.
23:06I want to play the same way.
23:09I want to play the same way.
23:11The light is true.
23:13The effort is to give it to the power.
23:15The anger and the anger,
23:17the more you will see.
23:19This heart is a little more powerful.
23:22I'll shout it out to the end of the day.
23:25I don't want to be able to do any harm.
23:28I don't want to be able to protect you.
23:31I just want to take a step.
23:32I'll give you some help.
23:35Keep your hand up.
23:35Yeah, yeah, I'm on the mountaintop, yeah
23:40Yeah, yeah, I'm on the mountaintop, yeah
24:32Yeah, yeah
25:02Yeah, yeah
25:32Yeah, yeah
25:35Yeah, yeah
