"Last time, the power user Ueki faced was Hayao Adachi." "With his "power to change cotton into stakes" Adachi puts the pressure on Ueki." "But Ueki wins the battle anyway." "The problem is what happened after." "Ueki's determination to remain righteous  leads him to hurt someone who isn't part of the battle." "Good grief." "This time he lost his "talent to run"." "The fool!" "Episode 4 :" "The Law of Li Ho, the Man of Physical Skills!"

"Good morning, to you, too!" "You seem to be in a great mood, as usual." "Sure!" "I make a point of always being in a good mood!" "Your Majesty, there's this bag that I'm just dying to have." "What am I gonna do with you?" "By the way, how are the battles going with the candidates?" "It's going very smoothly." "Three were eliminated yesterday  so there are 81 candidates remaining." "Excellent!" "Excellent!" "Cock-a-doodle-doo!" "Here's a list of the junior high students still in contention." "I'd say these are the five kids we should watch out for." "Li Ho..." "He's more the sort to rely on his physical skills than his power." "Marilyn Carrey..." "I've got to include her because she's so cute." "You sure about that?" "Seiichiro Sano..." "He strikes me as the most balanced of them all." "And next..." "Robert Haydn..." "This one definitely stands ahead of the pack." "And there's another Japanese one, huh?" "This battle game is getting more and more interesting." "You seem to be enjoying this, Your Majesty." "I sure am." "These days only the educated elite can make an impact on the world." "But I think that's kind of boring." "So, what I'm going to do  is place the world in the hands of junior high students." "This game is about nurturing the people who'll run the world." "You're so cool, Your Majesty!" "Don't I know it." "All right!" "We're going to party till dawn!" "That Ueki has already lost three of his talents." "According to Mr. K  he started out with a total of 1 1 talents  so he has eight left." "And if he loses all eight of his talents..." "He'll vanish completely." "What's the matter?" "There's a pervert out there!" "Pervert?" "Hey..." "He's coming!" "You'd better run!" "Okay!" "How dare you prowl around like that so early in the morning!" "I'm calling the police on you!" "Somebody call me a doctor." "Ueki!" "I wasn't being a pervert." "I went to pick up the hanky that she dropped when..." "No!" "Hinokuni Junior High School I think I get the picture." "Ever since you lost the "talent to be liked by girls" they're really starting to hate you." "I guess there's nothing you can do once you lose a talent." "Not necessarily." "Since I lost my "talent to study"  I'm less able to understand stuff." "A subject that would've taken one lesson for me  now takes about 1 00 lessons." "But if I study 1 00 times more then I should manage somehow." "A hundred times more?" "If I'm short on talents, I can just work harder to make up for it." "It's not totally hopeless." "One thing's for sure." "I need a plan to make sure he doesn't lose all his talents." "If only I could find a clue before Ueki vanishes completely." "In any case, Mr. K has a cold and so he's off for the day." "Anybody want to go and see how's he's doing?" "Anyone want to volunteer?" "That's my chance!" "Here!" "I'll go see him!" "And Ueki's coming with me!" "Why me?" "!" "If we go on the pretence of checking on his health we might learn more about the Celestial King candidates and all." "You're choking me..." "Hello?" "Huh?" "No one's here." "Now's your chance, Ueki!" "How can you do this to your teach or rather to someone who's sick?" "!" "If you're sick then why don't you just lie there and be quiet." "Kind of ironic that the power you gave him is used to tie you up." "Got anything to eat?" "Ueki!" "How could you?" "!" "Ai, search all you want but you won't find anything." "So please, don't make any more of a mess!" "All this about being a candidate for Celestial King  and here you are with a cold." "Pathetic." "Even Celestials can get sick and die, you know." "What?" "Really?" "Only the Celestial King is completely invincible." "We're nothing more than scouts chosen by His Majesty." "We pick out the kids to take part in these royal battles he's staged." "But who knows what criteria His Majesty used to choose us." "You have a computer, Mr. K." "You don't strike me as the type." "Wh-What?" "!" "Have you been emailing anyone in particular?" "Huh?" "What's this?" "There's only one icon." "The Law of Ueki" "The Law of Ueki The law of Ueki?" "What is this?" "Stop it, Ai!" "Huh?" "These are..." "A list of Ueki's talents?" "!" "Nine, ten, eleven..." "There's 1 1!" "I'm sure of it!" "And those three talents he's lost are grayed out." "So if he loses these remaining talents..." "Ueki will really vanish!" "Li Ho knows the scent of a power user." "Ho Oh Second Junior High Year 2, Class 2, Seat No. 22." "Ho Oh Second Junior High Year 2, Class 2, Seat No. 22." "Li Ho." "Special skill:" "Writing sutras on grains of rice." "Wait." "There's something more at the bottom." "Additional Talents 1 1 Talents Remaining" "Additional Talents 1 1 Talents Remaining What?" "!" "The number of talents has increased?" "!" "Ueki had only eight left, but somehow he got three more..." "So you saw!" "Yeah, I saw it!" "But what does it mean?" "!" "Just what it says." "It's the Law of Ueki." "The Law of Ueki?" "It's a blueprint for creating Ueki." "A blueprint?" "What's that?" "What do you mean it's a blueprint?" "Since you already saw it  I'll tell you." "I might as well tell you everything." "In the world I come from, there's a guy called the Celestial King." "And this guy's one funky old man." "This is what he said to me." "Hey, Kobayashi!" "Don't you think the world is getting pretty boring these days?" "!" "You think?" "I'm having a good time." "Yeah!" "It's seriously boring!" "Everyone's stuck in the same mold these days." "Everyone's trying to conform with each other, living the safe life." "And the ones running the world are a bunch of old fogies  stuck in that same rut!" "Know why the world ended up like that?" "Beats me." "It's because of the laws." "There's a law that says that every person is born with a set number of talents." "So depending on what talents he may have  his path in life pretty much takes a predictable course." "That's why I came up with the idea of these battles!" "One is free to gain or lose talents!" "People can create their own laws and break free from the mold." "What if we entrusted the world to the kid who fights right to the end?" "That'd be interesting, wouldn't it?" "Entrust the world to a junior high student?" "In other words  he wants to see what kind of kid operating under what law  is going to be the one to change the world." "If you ask me, I have my doubts about Ueki's changing the world." "You all done with that talk?" "H-Hang on a second!" "If you can increase your talents, how did Ueki do it?" "See, it works like this..." "You can get an additional talent every time you defeat a power user." "Then as long as he keeps defeating other power users  Ueki's abilities will never drop down to zero?" "!" "That's the answer!" "That's how we can keep him from losing all his talents!" "An earthquake?" "That's my rice ball!" "My rice ball!" "Get me down!" "The metal pillar's broken!" "Show me the power user!" "Is he the guy that broke the pillar?" "!" "I bet he is!" "He's a power user!" "I go by the name of Li Ho." "What's your name?" "Kosuke Ueki." "Look." "You have to win this, Ueki." "If you do, you'll win another talent  and move further away from zero!" "I won't know if I can win, unless I give it a try." "Just get out there and win!" "I can't breathe...!" "So far we've tried to avoid fighting when a power user challenged Ueki." "But now, we have to increase his talents by defeating opponents." "Kosuke Ueki." "You have a hidden aura that I haven't sensed in anyone else." "Kosuke Ueki!" "I would be much obliged." "Much obliged." "Ueki!" "We still don't know what his power is!" "It would be best to make the first move." "This is for that rice ball!" "We've got him!" "We're going to win!" "I don't need special powers." "I have my physical strength to rely on." "He trashed that giant tree bare-handed!" "This guy's strong." "Damn!" "Ueki..." "Don't you think his hat's cool?" "I want it." "That's all you have to say?" "This is serious." "He hasn't even shown us his power  and you're already having problems!" "Don't worry." "I will not use my power." "The result of my years of training." "This is my weapon." "And this only." "You don't say." "He's going for a broadside!" "Ai, get away from here." "Darn..." "That was really terrible." "Kobayashi..." "For his own sake, make Ueki surrender this time." "One careless move, and it'll be over for him." "What?" "What's the deal with him?" "How is he able to block Ueki's power with his bare hands?" "Is that the best you can do?" "In that case..." "It's my turn!" "Check this out!" "For one, you're not fast enough!" "He dodged it!" "And your power!" "Power and speed are the fundamentals of battle." "And in both, Li Ho has the advantage." "Ueki..." "Oh, no." "At this rate, he's going to...!" "I've still got that "Law of Ueki" I printed out from Mr. K's computer." "I wonder if there's a talent here that might help him in this battle." "You're too strong." "Too strong." "Too strong." "Too strong." "What good is the "talent to have a sharp tongue"?" "!" "I win this battle." "Too slow!" "It's over!" "Ueki!" "Using a rubber tree to dampen my own power!" "Interesting." "Now we're evenly matched in power." "But I still have the edge in speed." "How does it look?" "Doesn't it suit me?" "I don't know." "That was fast!" "I'm only getting started now!" "Y es, it's exactly as I suspected from the beginning." "You have an unusual inner strength." "Let's see if you can handle this!" "Huh?" "He disappeared!" "Ueki!" "Look out below!" "On your left!" "He's fast!" "Ueki!" "What's with this guy?" "!" "He hasn't used his power at all  but he's super strong!" "You want to keep going?" "Yeah." "His opponent hasn't even played his trump card yet  and Ueki's not looking good." "But why is Li Ho so determined not to use his power?" "You can be sure that Li Ho will not use his power in this battle." "Who're you?" "!" "I am Li Ho's sponsor." "Ganji, candidate for the throne." "Oh, the battle isn't over yet?" "Ueki's putting up a good fight." "What's this all about?" "Why won't your student use his power?" "Why would he?" "If he used his power this wouldn't serve as good training for him." "In fact, even I have never seen him use his power before." "There's a good reason he's so determined to rely  solely on his physical ability." "It all began seven years ago..." "Li Ho's adoptive father, Li Long was an absolutely fearless martial arts fighter." "With this victory  Li Long shall be deemed the greatest martial artist in the land." "You did it, Father!" "Li Ho!" "Someday I'm going to be a great martial artist just like you!" "Is that right?" "Yeah!" "However..." "Father!" "Li Long fell ill to a viral epidemic." "Even the greatest martial arts master can succumb to illness." "So Li Ho wants to be a martial arts master?" "He's not even related by blood." "Does he think he's inherited his physical talents?" "Father, watch over me from the great beyond." "I promise that I'll become a great martial artist that you can be proud of." "From that moment, Li Ho became determined to grow stronger." "It was clear that he did not possess a talent for martial arts." "But seven years of determined effort have made him strong." "T o Li Ho, his father was a figure that was larger than life." "Even now, he trains to get stronger  as he follows in his father's footsteps." "And Ueki did put up a real fight." "It's not like he's lost the battle yet!" "The outcome is certain." "It makes no difference if Li Ho's opponent possesses a great power." "The fact is that he's been able to defeat all eight contenders without once having to rely on his own power." "Stop!" "I want you to stop!" "Ueki doesn't really even want to be in these battles!" "He's not the kind of guy who likes fighting!" "If you don't stop, he might die!" "Is that all you got, Kosuke Ueki?" "This has been very good training." "Huh?" "I missed him?" "I can't believe a man would try to hit me with his fist!" "I see." "You are an opponent that should not be underestimated." "Then!" "I told you that your tree attacks will not work!" "What's he doing now?" "A spring?" "This means..." "You're going to fly." "Whoa." "Look at him go." "I can't believe anyone could land a hit on the invincible Li Ho." "Li Ho!" "I slipped up, but only for a moment." "I'll finish him off." "Li Ho!" "Use your power!" "Hey, you said he never uses his power because he's training!" "Li Ho!" "Use your power, Li Ho!" "You fool!" "This one is unlike any you have fought so far!" "You can't defeat him with your physical strength alone!" "Take this!" "So close!" "It's no use." "He won't use his power however much I plead." "The "power to change one's hair into a telescoping bat"." "He would win if he combined that power with his physical abilities." "No." "That's not true." "This opponent, Kosuke Ueki  cannot be defeated even with the power of the bat." "There's only one way to defeat him." "With a physical strength that's beyond any power." "The rock crushing technique  I developed over many years of hard training." "Ueki!" "What was that?" "Is that his special power?" "No, it's not." "It's a physical technique." "Though I've never seen anything like it!" "Special move, King of Cave!" "King of the Cave?" "!" "I won't miss this time." "Prepare yourself!" "I'll crush you to pieces!"
