Kengan Omega (2019)

… Ouma, you’re “strong.” Now, I haven’t seen every one in the world. And there might be someone even stronger than you out there for all I know. But to me, you’re the “strongest.” You never give up in the face of adversity … you’ve taught me that true strength is more than just physical strength! I could change myself because of you. You saved me!!! And I’m so ashamed that I haven’t done anything to repay you …

… I had it all wrong. I thought that being “strong” meant being “invincible” … That it meant being “immortal,” powerful enough to shrug off any and all attacks … But the truth is that he’s already accumulated damage beyond his own limits. There’s not a single inch of his body that’s unharmed. He’s as far from healthy as he can get. But Ouma’s not giving up the fight.

I’m not looking for “strength en masse.” All I’m looking for … is “overwhelming individual” violence.

I … I can’t beat him … He doesn’t just imitate them. This boy is actually a weapon!

Humans are just meatbags filled with blood and shit.

Why should I care if he breaks my bones or tears my flesh!!?

The objects of your true desire are always beyond annihilation.

Never hold a shadow of a doubt in your victory … That’s what it means to be a fighter!!!

Haha … Of course I am. I just can’t get used to it, no matter how many fights I’ve done. Every time I go into a match, I want to run away from the pressure.

Bears? Lions? No, I don’t fight those things. That’s more the field of stunt performers. Not for actual martial artists. I don’t really care about wheter or not I can beat a bear. All we martial artists need to know is “how to defeat humans.” And I’m gonna prove that in the Kengan matches!

The strong overcomes the weak.

Not all lives are equal! They had no money, no educaton, not even a shred of this “conscience” you’re talking about! And on top of that, they tried to disturb my business! What reason did they have to live!?

Show ’em that duty and compassion don’t mean shit! That it’s the people who work for money that are truly strong!

“Strength” is not determined by power, technique, or frame. It is determinded by experience.

He who can only strike what he sees is a second-rate martial artist. Do not underestimate me.

That’s where you’re wrong … My brothers are the failures … Modern sumo is a failure. And I‘m here to change sumo.

… I think you’ve got the wrong idea here. You think “pro wrestling’s got a monopoly on taking punishment.” You better remember this, pops. Sumo wrestlers are sturdier than pro wrestlers.

“The Fang of Metsudou” transcends all!!!!!! “I fight, therefore I am.”

This is for the best. It’s all perfect. I don’t mind standing in the shadows. I don’t have to take a step out of my house to seize this nation!!!

Punch before you think.

Boxing, to me, is a “conflict.” A “battle” with no room for impurities.

Once the match is over, all is water under the bridge. That’s what it means to be a fighter.

What’s wrong with the “weak” seeking to be the “strongest?”

I finally get it now. It’s not fighting that I like. I’m no masochist. I really hate getting punched and kicked. What I like isn’t “fighting” at all. I like winning!

You’ve got it all wrong. You didn’t think I was a good person, did you? I’m the one who pulled a kid with a bright future ahead of him into the underworld, and now I’ve forced him to face this deadly crisis. And you think I’m a good person? I strayed from the path a long time ago. What’s the point in being “weak yet good?” I will become Kengan association chariman. No matter what sacrifices I have to make. Every ambition comes with sacrifices. So don’t say another goddamn word …!

Hehe … You are afraid, I see. That is good … That is how prey should be.

That guy died because he was weak. The weak die … Isn’t that just the way things are?

Getting ripped, getting punched, getting thrown, then crushing your opponent after they’ve thrown everything they have at you … How could there be anything better than that …!?

Vengeance? That was never my plan to begin with! Your master and Niko died because they were weak, because they lost! There’s only one reason I was going after your master … I couldn’t stand that there was anyone in the world that was stronger than me!!! I’m gonna crush anyone that claims to be the strongest! So that I can prove that I’m the strongest!!!!!

You have harmed me. I am an “offering” to “him.” And you have harmed me. You must pay. With your life.

You have my thanks. I had a good dream. A very nostalgic dream … of the “sin” that I bear. Did you know? There are two kinds of people: “Those who deserve to be happy” and “those who don’t.” I am one of the latter. Now, will you become my “sin?”

This isn’t right! You are a god who destroys everything! You are my savior, who will kill me brutally, atrociously, and mercilessly! So why do you still cling to that man’s techniques!? Why can’t you forget him!!?

I pity you. You have opened the “Gates of Hell.” You shouldn’t expect a painless death.
