Your thoughts, Natsume? 10:27.190 --> 10:28.880 The incident concerning Ryuzaki... 10:32.990 --> 10:35.690 The fact that the Executive Council's decision... 10:35.760 --> 10:39.290 ...was left obscure because I defeated Ryuzaki... 10:39.360 --> 10:41.960 That has overly stimulated the Executive Council... 10:42.030 --> 10:44.160 ...and created this warfare we see today. 10:44.240 --> 10:46.300 Everything that happens is my responsibility. 10:48.610 --> 10:51.080 If I face some sort of punishment... 10:51.140 --> 10:53.200 ...not everyone will be satisfied with the results... 10:53.280 --> 10:57.010 ...but at the least fights like that one over there will no longer happen. 10:57.080 --> 10:58.000 What do you think? 10:58.010 --> 10:58.950 Hmm. 10:59.020 --> 11:00.710 The masters are in a conference right now... 11:00.790 --> 11:03.410 ...to decide your fate for that exact reason. 11:03.490 --> 11:05.460 Wait here for a while. 11:05.520 --> 11:09.550 But it might be best to prepare yourself for the worst. 11:09.630 --> 11:14.790 No, no, no, no...

That's dangerous! 11:52.240 --> 11:54.000 If you stand still, it'll be over very quickly. 11:54.070 --> 11:56.940 If you resist without thinking, it will cause you more pain! 11:57.010 --> 11:58.810 Don't be so pretentious, dammit! 12:04.580 --> 12:05.380 Whoa! 12:11.820 --> 12:13.310 Hey, Souichiro! 12:13.390 --> 12:15.380 Getting rid of monsters is supposed to be your secret trick! 12:15.460 --> 12:17.260 Do something about this kappa! 12:17.330 --> 12:19.420 Like I can!

I'll just take your leg! 13:45.150 --> 13:47.580 Hmm. That's the way! 13:47.650 --> 13:49.640 Even if the opponent carries a real katana... 13:49.720 --> 13:54.450 ...it is nothing but a stick in front of an overwhelming power and mass. 13:55.160 --> 13:57.060 There's no way that someone of Kanakita's caliber... 13:57.130 --> 13:59.790 ...can stop your kick. 14:03.070 --> 14:05.060 I see. I understand. 14:05.800 --> 14:08.640 Your punishment has been officially decided. 14:08.770 --> 14:10.470 Don't be let down by their decision... 14:11.910 --> 14:13.840 I am sorry to have troubled you. 14:13.910 --> 14:16.040 It was nice to be served by you, Master. 14:16.110 --> 14:17.210 Natsume... 14:28.490 --> 14:29.980 It's already summer... 14:31.230 --> 14:33.820 The Preliminaries will begin soon. 14:33.900 --> 14:38.030 The growth of those boys really does strike an eye. 14:38.100 --> 14:42.160 But that has nothing to do with my coaching. 14:42.240 --> 14:44.830 The many talents, the vast potential within them... 14:44.910 --> 14:46.710 ...are all starting to bloom at once... 14:46.780 --> 14:49.010 ...from the many harsh battles they've faced. 14:49.880 --> 14:51.710 It's useless to say this now... 14:51.780 --> 14:54.010 ...but if they had come to this academy two years... 14:54.090 --> 14:58.390 No, even just one year earlier... 14:59.090 --> 15:02.080 ...perhaps things wouldn't have turned out the way they have. 15:09.670 --> 15:12.300 Sis, you are... 15:14.440 --> 15:15.570 ...expelled?! 15:15.640 --> 15:19.440 W-Why is it?

And so the Daito Style is well-known... 16:17.670 --> 16:21.000 ...as the oldest hand-to-hand combat method in our country. 16:21.070 --> 16:24.040 It's been a while since people have called it the root of many styles. 16:24.110 --> 16:26.010 However, the existence of fast-kick sumo wrestling... 16:26.080 --> 16:28.270 ...and what seems to be the sign of the Kongotai method... 16:28.350 --> 16:31.510 ...as shown in Kojiki, argue against that theory... 16:35.620 --> 16:39.250 Fine weather, isn't it, boy? Hmm? 16:39.320 --> 16:42.050 I was thinking how you finally showed up to one of my lectures... 16:42.130 --> 16:44.430 ...and you're already having a graceful suntan session? 16:44.500 --> 16:47.020 Tell me what I have just been lecturing about. 16:47.100 --> 16:50.120 I wasn't listening at all, so I don't know. 16:51.240 --> 16:55.800 Look.
