Kengan Ashura (2019) s02e06 Episode Script
An Old Friend
1
SEN HATSUMI
REP. FIGHTER OF NOGI GROUP
Who the hell are you?
Me?
I am a "becomer."
People call me
"The Faceless Man."
"The Faceless Man?"
Sounds pretty cheap if you ask me.
Besides, I can see your face very clearly.
Oh?
Are you sure you can?
Wait. That's
TADASHI IIDA - GAOLAN WONGSAWA
Is that me?
What?
JERRY TYSON
It's exactly like Gaolan's move.
It's not just for show.
So, his style is boxing.
Don't get me wrong.
I can become more than just a boxer.
NAOYA OHKUBO
That's my style!
So? Surprised, aren't you?
Even his tone and mood changed.
I'll tell you my secret.
I'm an actor
TAKAYUKI CHIBA
YOSHITAKE REAL ESTATE
of the underground.
There are people called "actors"
in the underworld.
They play completely different people
to perpetrate scams and other crimes.
I've heard that
some underworld actors
specialize in fighting scenes.
I guess this guy's
one of those militant actors.
I can copy any action perfectly
after seeing it once.
So far, 22 fighters have competed
in this tournament
and I've seen the public fights
of Gaolan Wongsawat and Naoya Ohkubo.
I have mastered
a total of 24 fighting styles.
In other words,
I can punch like Gaolan,
wrestle like Sekibayashi,
and ground grapple like Cosmo Imai.
Do you understand?
Your opponent is not Takayuki Chiba.
It's a chimera of 24 fighters.
"ODDITIES"
I appreciate Mr. Yoshitake scheduling
my match later in the tournament.
YOSHIRO YOSHITAKE
YOSHITAKE REAL ESTATE
The more matches there are before mine,
the more fighters I can trace.
As this tournament moves forward,
I become stronger.
You're a copycat counting your chickens
before they hatch?
That's not even funny.
Take your stance, underling.
Use other people's power
as much as you want.
Chiba has told two lies.
One, he can only trace movements
and techniques of the target.
He cannot copy physical abilities
such as Kure Family's Release
or Lihito's Razor's Edge.
And, even if he imitates
a technique perfectly,
its power is only proportional
to Chiba's physical abilities.
Two, at this point, he has traced
24 fighters' movements,
but is barely able to use any of them
in an actual battle.
Still, it is enough.
In Hatsumi's eyes,
Takayuki Chiba appears to be
a larger monster than he really is.
A man who can use any move
he's seen once.
Are you ready?
By the next round, I'll have finished
committing the fighters' moves to memory,
to use them in an actual match.
I'll fight with the styles I've stolen
from other martial artists for today.
Here we go, Sen Hatsumi.
Oh! That stance!
That's Andrews Filho.
He was the strongest Kidokan karate master
who could kill anyone with just one punch.
You can even copy a dead man?
I guess I don't need to pull my punches.
Match over! We have a winner!
Twenty-six seconds
after the start of the match,
it was all over.
Fight!
Gathering Clouds: Triple Strike.
Time to go to sleep,
copycat.
Match is over! We have a winner!
It It's over!
The winner of the 13th match is
Sen Hatsumi, a.k.a. the Floating Cloud.
It took only 26 seconds
for him to win the match.
Sen Hatsumi is so strong!
That man made a wrong choice.
TAKESHI WAKATSUKI
-What?
-His last move was an aikido technique.
JUN SEKIBAYASHI
It was a bad move.
Sen's fighting style is based on
his own style, the Hatsumi-style aikido.
It was reckless of him
to fight against it with aikido.
He's just a knockoff, after all.
Just a single mistake
can cost you everything.
That is
what a kengan match is.
Well, well.
HIDEKI NOGI
CHAIRMAN OF NOGI GROUP
What does a loser want from me,
Mr. Yoshitake?
Don't get big-headed.
This isn't over yet!
I'm going to take you down one day.
You are pretty easygoing, aren't you?
It seems you don't fully understand
the situation you are in.
Huh?
I heard you committed physical violence
before the match.
Don't play the fool with me.
I know you sent your assassin to me.
I suppose you wanted to threaten me,
but too bad for you.
It didn't work out that way.
Don't get carried away,
just because you won the match.
I'm going to get testimony from him
and disqualify Nogi Group
from the tournament.
Oh, are you sure you want to do that?
If you do, you'll lose
your Kengan Association membership.
Huh?
Actually, the man
you ordered your man to assault
just became
a Kengan Association member yesterday.
I recommended him.
Wha
As you know, Mr. Yoshitake,
personal fights between members
are strictly prohibited.
If this comes to light,
Yoshitake Real Estate will be
eliminated from the association for good.
So, this is what you wanted, isn't it?
You were trying to set me up all along
and made me fight that guy.
Oh, come on. That's disgraceful.
All I did was recommend him
for the Kengan Association membership.
Why, Nogi? I don't understand.
You could've just made me forfeit
if you'd planned all that.
That would've better
conserved Hatsumi's energy, too.
Why?
You don't know a thing.
Fighters are no more than our pawns.
You need to watch them fight
to see which pawn is stronger.
If Sen had lost to Chiba, I would have
supported Yoshitake Real Estate
with all of the might of Nogi Group.
Even if you had won the tournament,
I would have made you designate me
as the association's chairman.
Remember this, boy.
I am in a different class than you.
Let's welcome the fighters
for the 14th match!
Some call him "Murder Physician."
Some call him "Doctor Death."
The doctor draped in death
made an emergency visit to the tournament.
He leads his poor patients to hell.
The gate to hell is about to open.
Standing at 174 cm and weighing 62 kg,
he makes his kengan match debut today.
Representing the University of Teito,
also known as the Dissector,
Hajime Hanafusa!
HAJIME HANAFUSA
I love this place.
The smell of death is filling the air.
YUKIO DAZAI
PRESIDENT OF UNIVERSITY OF TEITO
Next up is another incredible assassin.
A bare-handed serial killer, the likes
of which had never been seen
in Japanese criminal history.
He was a medical student back then,
and now, after 30 years,
the killer has returned.
Standing at 201 cm and weighing 147 kg,
he makes his kengan match debut today.
Representing Juoh Communications,
also known as the Bloody Tusk,
Yohei Bando!
YOHEI BANDO
JUOH COMMUNICATIONS
Good grief. It's so raucous outside.
Hanafusa,
don't forget your duty.
This is very sudden,
but Hanafusa is an agent
sent by the Japanese government.
Yohei Bando is a death row inmate.
The government allowed him
to take part in the tournament
to secretly get rid of him.
His first execution
took place 25 years ago.
However, he survived
the 90-minute-long execution.
The execution order was issued every time
a new Minister of Justice was inaugurated,
but he survived all 45 executions.
He has been waiting for 25 years
to get his death penalty fulfilled.
The only method of execution
allowed in this country is hanging.
A death row inmate who cannot
be hanged to death
means the defeat of the law.
MINISTRY OF JUSTICE
SEISUKE TAKADA
PRES. JUOH COMMUNICATIONS
The country allows him to fight
then sends an assassin to face him.
Well, I expected as much.
I got a smaller opponent than I expected.
Now, I wonder what to do with you.
A man that can't be killed by hanging.
That's tempting.
I would love to dissect you.
Seems like you don't live a decent life.
But who am I to talk?
Those eyes
OHMA TOKITA - KAZUO YAMASHITA
The look in his eyes hasn't changed
BANDO WAS ARRESTED ON
SUSPICION OF ATTACKING YAKUZA OFFICE
even though his appearance
is a lot different now.
That is definitely
Yohei Bando.
Take your stance.
Huh?
What's wrong, guys?
I'm not a combat fighter.
So, I don't need a stance.
He's right.
I'll go with my usual style.
Fine. Have it your way.
Fight!
I don't feel good about this,
but I don't have much choice.
Well, then
I just need to kill this boy, huh?
And you said you weren't
a combat fighter?
You hit my acupuncture points.
Or was it called Chin Na in martial arts?
You really are an ex-med school student.
Seems like you did your homework.
My style uses Lingshu Chin Na techniques.
What is Lingshu Chin Na?
It's the oldest form of Chin Na
written in Huangdi Neijing,
an ancient Chinese medical text.
Using their fingers as needles,
fighters strike the human's vital
meridians and acupuncture points.
It is said that it's easy for
a master of Lingshu Chin Na
to cripple the opponent
with just a single strike.
How logical.
That's one of the effective means
for you to defeat me,
someone physically superior to you.
"Means"?
Exactly.
Martial arts are no more than
a means to an end for me.
And the end is to dissect your body.
Wow! His hits are incredible.
He's taking advantage of
his small body to make quick moves!
Hanafusa is toying with Bando!
Good grief.
His small body allows him
to move quickly.
What a pain.
Any ordinary person wouldn't be able
to fight with that pain.
Are those thick muscles preventing
my strikes from hitting deeply?
Very interesting.
I would do anything to dissect him.
I'll keep him as intact as possible.
My aim is your yamen.
LINGSHU CHIN NA: TERMINAL STAB
Now you will never be conscious again.
I can enjoy dissecting your body now.
Oh?
Open fractures
of the second and third fingers.
Any ordinary person would be
rolling around in pain with those.
It seems you're not normal either.
In fact, I am also categorized
as "abnormal."
I bet.
The cervical vertebrae is
a vital point of the human body.
You can't protect it
by just building muscle.
There is only one answer to this.
Mr. Bando
your joints are abnormally flexible,
aren't they?
The instant I struck your yamen,
an acupuncture point on the neck,
you caught and broke my fingers in between
your occipital bone and cervical spine.
I assume your joint motion range
would be approximately 140 degrees.
Well, Mr. Bando?
Is my inference correct?
You're impressive.
That is correct.
My range of joint motion is far different
from that of an ordinary human.
-Mama!
-Eek!
His neck is twisted upside down!
Now, let's settle this battle
between abnormal fighters.
I'm afraid killing is the only way
I know how to defeat.
KOKOMI YOSHIZAWA
Doctor, run!
Are you surprised?
This is my
ace in the hole.
Well?
Don't you find their forms exquisite?
It's a sword!
There are something like swords
sticking out of Hanafusa's palms.
These are my favorites
carved out of my own femur.
I did everything from designing
the gimmick, processing the bone,
and to doing the surgery on my own.
That was so much fun.
Are those allowed?
Of course, they are.
These are part of my body.
I'm offended if you think
those are weapons.
METSUDO KATAHARA
CHAIRMAN KENGAN ASSOCIATION
Part of his body, he says?
He's got me there.
I knew it.
First, I noticed it through his reaction
to his fractured fingers.
And now this gadget.
Mr. Hanafusa,
you don't feel pain, do you?
Just as Bando guesses,
Hajime Hanafusa has no sense of pain.
He conducted a surgery to limit the
neurotransmitter function of hypothalamus
and completely blocked out pain sensation.
Which means
Hajime Hanafusa cannot be defeated
without getting killed.
Jeez.
What a man.
I’m getting excited to meet
someone similar to me.
I don't care about
winning or losing anymore, but
this excitement is quite addicting.
Mr. Bando,
could you die for my pleasure?
By his power and that blast sound
has he injected compressed gas
into his heels?
I recommend you go see a doctor
for your mental health,
if you survive this fight.
That's insulting.
I am a doctor, you know?
I'm fully capable of diagnosing
my own mental state.
Objectively speaking,
I am far from normal!
That's what I thought.
It's
It's over!
Bando snapped Hanafusa's neck!
We are not sure if
Hanafusa is still alive.
That was close.
He tried to stab me in the solar plexus.
It was a good call.
Attacks to my midsection
are very difficult to dodge,
especially when it's in the center
of my body, like the solar plexus.
If I hadn't quickly shifted my spine,
-I would have been the dead one.
-Bring a stretcher! Quick!
Oh, Bando. Nice work out there.
You are slightly injured,
but it doesn't look severe.
I hope you keep up the good work
in the next round.
Stupid Doctor! Why did you die on me?
I couldn't do anything to thank him
for saving my brother.
KARURA KURE
Nothing can be done about this, Elena.
Dead people never come back to life.
You're in a sorry plight, Hanafusa.
Mr. Dazai!
How could you say such a thing to him?
Dr. Hanafusa fought to the death!
Indeed.
Now, let's find out
if it was worth costing his life.
What?
Mr. Dazai?
What are you
Phew. I'm back.
Good grief. I thought I would die.
Doctor!
What? Didn't you die?
Ms. Yoshizawa,
you know I'm a doctor, right?
I remodeled my body,
just in case I was to die,
implanting a medical device
to force my heart to beat.
Oh, I see.
I have no energy left to question anymore.
But honestly,
one more twist to my vertebrae
would have killed me.
So, Hanafusa. How did it go?
Don't worry.
Yohei Bando
will be a dead man shortly.
What's wrong, Bando?
He got me.
That man surprises me till the end.
What he said at that moment
I don't care about
winning or losing anymore.
At that time, I thought it was just
an expression of his berserker nature.
However, the true meaning
of his statement was
that he had completed
his arrangement to kill me.
Looking at these symptoms
it must be a virus
that attacks the nerves.
This is a blood-borne infection.
It must have transmitted through his blood
on his bone blades.
Yes.
Prior to the match,
I injected a lethal virus in myself.
But wouldn't that kill you, too?
There's no need to worry.
I also possess an antibody for the virus.
I see.
If I can find out what type of virus
he used, I could cope with this.
However, I don't think the medical
facility on this small island can do much.
This was what he wanted, huh?
Mr. Hanafusa,
the winner of this battle is you.
On this day, after 25 years,
the execution of Yohei Bando
has been successfully carried out.
PREVIEW
The dull, skinny, useless mediocre Kaneda
fights against the Thai God of War.
It's a craving for power.
Don't back off. Don't get frightened.

into his heels?
I recommend you go see a doctor
for your mental health,
if you survive this fight.
That's insulting.
I am a doctor, you know?
I'm fully capable of diagnosing
my own mental state.
Objectively speaking,
I am far from normal!
That's what I thought.
It's
It's over!
Bando snapped Hanafusa's neck!
We are not sure if
Hanafusa is still alive.
That was close.
He tried to stab me in the solar plexus.
It was a good call.
Attacks to my midsection
are very difficult to dodge,
especially when it's in the center
of my body, like the solar plexus.
If I hadn't quickly shifted my spine,
-I would have been the dead one.
-Bring a stretcher! Quick!
Oh, Bando. Nice work out there.
You are slightly injured,
but it doesn't look severe.
I hope you keep up the good work
in the next round.
Stupid Doctor! Why did you die on me?
I couldn't do anything to thank him
for saving my brother.
KARURA KURE
Nothing can be done about this, Elena.
Dead people never come back to life.
You're in a sorry plight, Hanafusa.
Mr. Dazai!
How could you say such a thing to him?
Dr. Hanafusa fought to the death!
Indeed.
Now, let's find out
if it was worth costing his life.
What?
Mr. Dazai?
What are you
Phew. I'm back.
Good grief. I thought I would die.
Doctor!
What? Didn't you die?
Ms. Yoshizawa,
you know I'm a doctor, right?
I remodeled my body,
just in case I was to die,
implanting a medical device
to force my heart to beat.
Oh, I see.
I have no energy left to question anymore.
But honestly,
one more twist to my vertebrae
would have killed me.
So, Hanafusa. How did it go?
Don't worry.
Yohei Bando
will be a dead man shortly.
What's wrong, Bando?
He got me.
That man surprises me till the end.
What he said at that moment
I don't care about
winning or losing anymore.
At that time, I thought it was just
an expression of his berserker nature.
However, the true meaning
of his statement was
that he had completed
his arrangement to kill me.
Looking at these symptoms
it must be a virus
that attacks the nerves.
This is a blood-borne infection.
It must have transmitted through his blood
on his bone blades.
Yes.
Prior to the match,
I injected a lethal virus in myself.
But wouldn't that kill you, too?
There's no need to worry.
I also possess an antibody for the virus.
I see.
If I can find out what type of virus
he used, I could cope with this.
However, I don't think the medical
facility on this small island can do much.
This was what he wanted, huh?
Mr. Hanafusa,
the winner of this battle is you.
On this day, after 25 years,
the execution of Yohei Bando
has been successfully carried out.
PREVIEW
The dull, skinny, useless mediocre Kaneda
fights against the Thai God of War.
It's a craving for power.
Don't back off. Don't get frightened.
