"Master..." "Master." "Master, old master is back." "Has the Japanese girl come with him?" "Yes." "What does she look like?" "Well, I saw her from a distance, Her upper..." "Her lower... this..." "Never mind, she was ugly as a kid." "Oh yeah?" "She'll be even uglier now she's grown up." "That's right." "You forget you have to pretend you're sick." "How?" "Like third uncle the other day, having a high fever." "A high fever?" "But I don't have one." "Lie down first." "Come..." "What are you doing?" "Come, come on." "Come." "Ah To, what are you doing?" "Sir, young master has a high fever ...yet he wants hot tea." "Father." "The fever is really bad." "Well, why hasn't a doctor been called?" "I wanted to get a doctor, but Ah To said no need." "Ah To, I rushed back to arrange your wedding." "But you're sick, so you should see a doctor quickly." "I'd rather die than be forced into a marriage." "Nonsense, you've grown up and should marry." "This alliance was arranged when you were but a kid." "The lady Kung Zi... grew up with you." "How could you call it a forced marriage?" "I'll never marry that Japanese girl... with the runny nose." "Kung Zi has grown and is now a famous beauty of Kyoto." "Ah To, her father has been maintaining a business relationship with us and supported our business." "Besides, this marriage had already been arranged and she has come, how can you refuse?" "This is a transaction and I won't accept." "I had you brought back to further your studies." "It seems you're more muddled than ever." "No, I'm rather clear on what's right and wrong." "This is a forced marriage." "You..." "Stay clam, Ah To, how could you..." "Never mind." "Shou, get a doctor." "Go on." "Yes." "I hope you are comfortable here." "Rest well today." "Master..." "What?" "You..." "Come..." "look." "Ah To, what happened to you?" "Is it really her?" "Yes." "Ah To." "Dad, I've forgotten how to say..." ""Long time no see", "How are you" in Japanese." "Long time no see, how are you?" "Long time no see, how are you?" "How are you?" "Long time no see." "Kung Zi, your Chinese is so good." "Dad, did you teach her?" "She has been learning from your dad since a child." "Brother To, aren't you sick?" "Rest well." "I'm not sick." "Come... have a drink." "Inside please..." "The bride is here." "Why is the bride dressed like that?" "Yes, how could she wear white?" "It's not lucky." "Look, even her shoes are white." "How can this be?" "Prepare for the marriage rituals." "The groom  the bride will bow 3 times to old master." "Why is she not kneeling?" "Indeed why!" "I haven't seen anything like this." "Yes." "Kneel." "The groom  the bride will bow 3 times to old master." "First bow, second bow, third bow." "Bow to relatives and guests." "Bow, again, and again." "The noises we hear..." "is that practising or fighting?" "I hear fighting." "Who is fighting?" "Hasn't master practised his kung fu in the morning?" "I don't think so." "He's only been married a few days." "How could he get up this early to practise?" "Right, master is beating his wife." "Nonsense." "Did you see it with your own eyes?" "No, but we heard." "They're newly-wed, so that seems unlikely." "Where did you hear it?" "In the backyard." "Backyard!" "Come, let's take a look." "He's really beating his wife." "I'll tell old master." "Go..." "Kung Zi, good morning." "Good morning." "You're up early." "Did you have a good sleep?" "I'm used to getting up... at six each morning to exercise." "Kung Zi." "It can't be." "I heard it with my own ears, really." "Dad." "Why don't you stay for a few more days?" "The business in Japan needs taking care of." "Where's Kung Zi?" "She's here." ""Japanese Seikendo All-rounder"" "Dad." "Give my regards to father when you return to Japan say I'm happy here." "Yes..." "And that my husband is good to me." "Kung Zi." "We are lucky to have a daughter-in-law like you." "After I'm gone, you..." "Father, don't worry." "Ah To, a couple should love each other." "If the husband bullies the wife ...that's most despicable." "Kung Zi." "Dad." "If he bullies you... don't hesitate to report that to me." "Shou." "Hey, what did you do with my dad?" "I..." "You made me get a scolding from him, man" "No..." "I didn't, master." "Tell me." "I really didn't." "Speak." "Do I really have to?" "Tell the truth." "Master, you... you beat madam" "Good morning." "Good morning." "Master, doesn't this sound like ...beating your wife?" "Come, come here." "Master, are you okay?" "What are looking at?" "Go on, scram!" "Yes." "Kung Zi, have you finished?" "Yes." "Go up and rest." "Sorry." "I had no idea you don't know kung fu at all." "You aren't hurt I hope!" "You saw that I'm not at all versed in martial arts." "What were you practising just now?" "I was practising Karate at first... but I threw you with Judo." "Anything wrong?" "This is unseemly." "Judo is Japan's national martial art." "I know Judo." "Your chest was exposed;" "Isn't it embarrassing?" "This is the uniform for practising" "...and facilitates kicks and punches." "When a woman kicks like that and is seen by gamblers." "They're sure to lose. (means bad luck)" "Don't Chinese women practising kung fu ...punch and kick just the same?" "It's slightly different." "Chinese girls need to be concerned with propriety also." "Look, with a stance like that." "How could you move?" "This is advance, this is retreat." "This is called the Chien Yeung stance" "How do you kick with your leg then?" "Kick." "I kicked." "Kick again." "I kicked again." "Chinese ladies when they perform serial kicks... shouldn't necessarily be seen by the enemy." "They are well-mannered and proper." "You are well-mannered like a lady." "But we Japanese ladies are different." "We use great powers when we fight." "Did I hurt you?" "It's alright, you could be rough when you practise." "But don't yell at the top of your voice." "Why not?" "When people hear this, they'll think I'm beating my wife." "Ah To" "After marriage you've come first time for training" "Have you forgotten all your kung fu?" "No he won't." "He's a daily punch bag for his wife" "In fact his kung fu must have improved." "What did you say?" "What did I say?" "I said your Japanese wife's kung fu is real good." "She threw you with only a slight effort and you..." "Stop..." "Who said that?" "Don't talk nonsense." "It's not nonsense, Shou said it." "His wife gave a kick and he saw it." "And then he always loses at gambling" "He hasn't won in a month." "You..." "Master, mercy." "I speak the truth." "They exaggerated." "It's not my fault." "If you didn't say those things, how would they know?" "Master, she is your wife." "Only you could know these things." "How would I know?" "Don't run." "Master, mercy..." "Master, big problem." "The backyard has collapsed." "What?" "The backyard." "What are you doing?" "I am practising kung fu." "Stop." "Why have you demolished the wall and smashed the figurine?" "There is no punch bag... and no wooden boards." "How could I practise?" "So I kicked the wall." "1,2,3,4,5,6" "Madam, if you practise like this..." "In less than six months, you will have demolished the whole house." "Never mind." "Shou, get it repaired" "Yes..." "Kung Zi, from now on I forbid you to practise." "Why?" "Kung Zi, if you really love martial arts... let me teach you Chinese kung fu." "Chinese Kung Fu?" "Yes, because it is more... well-mannered and proper for ladies." "I am not a Chinese lady." "But your husband is a Chinese." "You should learn Chinese kung fu." "Your wife is a Japanese." "Why don't you learn Japanese martial arts?" "You kick down a wall each day." "And if you go on like this... even our bedroom will collapse." "Kung Zi, can you... practise something else?" "Don't worry." "My training gear has almost arrived." "What equipment is that?" "Delivery from Japan." "It's not dowry, but weapons." "Weapons?" "Swords too." "Kung Zi, these weapons..." "I have asked for these weapons to be sent from Japan." "Japanese sword." "Japanese Kendo." "Heavens!" "What's the matter?" "Master, Look." "Right." "Also..." "This is called Sai." "There's more." "Madam." "Kung Zi, you..." "This is a spear." "Fine, you want to flee?" "This is a Chained Hook." "Designed against those who want to run away." "Kung Zi, stop it." "There's more." "Ah To, you love to practise kung fu." "Why do you stop Kung Zi?" "You don't know, she..." "Will she fight with you?" "She practices Japanese martial arts and nothing else." "There's no place at home for her to practise." "There is." "Doesn't your home have a kung fu training hall?" "Kung Zi has a strong character." "I'm afraid she doesn't like the Chinese style hall." "Master, big problem." "Madam has put her Japanese weapons ...in your training hall." "Good, let her practise there then." "No, she has moved all your Chinese weapons ...out of the hall." "Quickly, move them out." "Okay..." "What are you doing?" "It's not our fault, it's ordered by madam." "Move them all back." "Yes..." "Move them out..." "Also, move those out as well." "Stop." "Ah To." "Kung Zi, what do you mean by this?" "So there IS a proper training hall here." "Had you told me..." "I needn't have practised in the backyard... and demolished the wall." "Why have you moved these weapons?" "A good training hall needs real weapons" "Kung Zi, but these are weapons." "I know nothing of these things and they are like trash to me." "Trash?" "This is a sword, the king of weapons." "Its history goes back several thousand years." "It has been passed down to us." "And there are many styles of swordsmanship." "This is 8 Diagram Sword." "When you practise it it's like dancing." "Strong, powerful, fierce and aggressive; a real sword!" "All that noise, it's like a beggar driving dogs away." "Nonsense." "Those who practise Kendo... have a spiritual nexus with the sword in hand." "How could you insult that?" "You have a spiritual bond with this worthless metal?" "Why don't you marry it then?" "You..." "Master, madam." "Stop, don't fight." "Please stop." "What is a sword?" "What is trash?" "Do you understand now?" "Madam, your sword." "What you hold is not a spear." "This is a real spear." "En guard." "Master, madam." "Please don't fight any more." "Go and get third uncle." "Quick..." "Your spear technique... has too many loopholes, you're too exposed." "Brute strength does not help." "Let me show you a few tricks." "This red plume is known as blood shield." "It can distract the enemies' field of vision and... tie up the opponent's weapons." "Third uncle, quick, please." "Kung Zi, Ah To." "Ah To, stop fighting... stop." "Third uncle." "Look what you have done?" "Kung Zi likes martial arts I'mteachingherkungfu." "I already lack adequate time for Japanese martial arts." "I have no time for your rubbish." "You say Chinese kung fu is trash?" "Yes, only Japanese martial arts is effective  useful." "I say Japanese martial arts are no good." "I say Chinese kung fu is useless." "You just lost to me, who is useless?" "Ah To." "Kung Zi, each of your styles has their own virtues." "Kung Zi..." "Madam..." "Ah To." "Master, what should we do with these weapons?" "As you like." "Master..." "Chinese on one side and Japanese on the other." "Kung Zi, come sit here and eat." "You should kneel here and eat." "How could a martial artist kneel easily?" "Japanese martial artists kneel out of respect." "Long ago only those condemned to be beheaded ...would kneel and eat like this." "You are like them." "What do you mean by throwing eggs?" "This is a secret weapon." "Watch mine." "Now, aren't you seated like me?" "The table is too big to be regarded as secret weapon." "Kung Zi, your food is here." "Come and eat with me." "Forget it." "Ah Shou, bring madam's food over there." "Yes, quick." "I don't want it." "I won't eat the food you've touched." "Forget it..." "There are many kinds of secret weapons in China." "This is known as Coin dart" "This is the Japanese Iron Sea star." "This is flying needle." "This is flying ring." "This is flying dagger." "Japanese flying dagger." "This is flying dart." "Cross dart." "Mini flying guillotine." "Iron Roulette Ball." "What is it?" "You didn't see it, this is called a Sleeve Arrow." "Sleeve arrow?" "This is a real secret weapon." "Good." "Is this hair-pin not a secret weapon?" "Yes, I admire you." "Duck." "It's okay now." "Your movements are too broad when using secret weapons." "That gives your opponents a chance to duck." "Watch the famous Back Arrow." "It can catch one's opponents off guard." "Kung Zi, what are you doing?" "Don't interfere." "I said, leave me alone." "You..." "Why are you angry?" "It's so unreasonable losing temper early morning." "Madam." "Master." "Shou, the Japanese weapons... including sword, spear, stick and secret weapons have been passed on from China." "Is that right?" "This... yes..." "Speak." "They've been passed from China." "No, Shou." "Over a thousand years ago" "Japan already had these weapons." "They just look similar to Chinese weapons." "Is that right?" "That's right..." "Wrong." "Even your Japanese characters... have been evolved from Chinese." "Yes." "We're talking about martial arts, not literature." "We're talking about martial arts." "Martial arts or literature, it's the same." "Martial arts or literature, it's the same." "No way." "If it's martial arts, then let's fight." "Let's spar then." "What do we compete on?" "Madam." "Anything." "Master, madam, don't fight anymore." "Master, madam, I..." "Shou." "Look, you caused it." "No, you did." "You moved first." "You first suggested to fight." "Well, let's not fight here." "Where then?" "In the training hall." "This is Chinese kung fu, known as a Block Hand." "This is Chinese Leg Strike." "This is the Scissor Leg Strike." "This is the Buddha's Close Palm." "Judo." "Send it now." "Third uncle..." "They are fighting again." "Come down." "Watch me." "Again." "Look." "Stop fighting." "Ah To, stop fighting." "This is known as "Cripple Li Carrying Water"." "Still want to fight?" "Your stick is shorter than mine, you'll lose." "Kung Zi..." "Madam..." "Ah To, how can you..." "Shou." "Master, is this right?" "Oh you." "Kung Zi, why are you hiding?" "Do you give in  dare not come out?" "I'm waiting for you." "Ah To." "Do you give in?" "Give in?" "Look at your outfit, what is it?" "This is Ninjitsu, you ignorant fool." "Properly practised it's powers are boundless." "A while back you were at my mercy." "Had I used stronger gun powder... you'd have been blown to pieces." "If the dagger was poisoned, you would have died." "Is there such martial arts in China?" "Of course." "But it is better known as ambush." "Poison, lethal aroma, secret arrows." "These are forbidden in the Chinese kung fu world." "Only treacherous villains use them." "What more insults do you have?" "Let's hear them once and for all." "I'm not insulting you, it's the truth." "The way of kung fu emphasises on being fair and open." "To win is the most important thing." "No doubt, but so is the method one uses." "This is too low." "You're calling me low?" "Not you." "I'm referring to the ninja skills." "Just drop them." "You don't even know the history of Ninjitsu." "I wouldn't want to listen to something as treacherous ...even if you told me." "You..." "Ignorant bull, you know nothing of Japan martial arts." "You're not eligible to fight with me." "Stop." "The Starry Kick." "Lion Rolling Ball." "Back Kick." "Ah To, who have you been fighting with?" "No one, but..." "Ah To, how many times have I told you!" "Don't think that... just because you know kung fu ...then you can fight any time you want." "You should learn humility." "This is the true martial arts way." "Yes." "Who have you been fighting with?" "Someone..." "Someone said Japanese martial arts are better than Chinese kung fu in every aspect." "I couldn't accept that." "So I fought with this person in every category ...and I did win each time." "You haven't yet met a truly skilled Japanese master." "Who would that be?" "Could you bring him to our school... and let him show us a few tricks?" "Teacher, this..." "Right, widen our horizons." "Stop..." "It's difficult to invite her because her gear has been confiscated by me." "How could she face us?" "Master." "Master." "Shou, when did she leave?" "Early in the morning." "As soon as you were gone she packed up and left." "Why didn't you stop her?" "Master, she..." "You should have told me early." "Master, it's because I wanted to tell you ...that I got a kick from madam." "However, if I didn't tell you ...you would slap me." "Where are third uncle and aunty?" "They..." "Third uncle, aunty." "The boat has departed." "Welcome, this way please." "Master, the guests are here." "Please." "Tai Long." "Please sit." "Has Kung Zi written back?" "A young couple fighting is unavoidable." "There is a Chinese saying:" "A father-in-law has to pretend to be blind and deaf!" "Fortunately, Kung Zi is smart... or I would not see her again." "What are you saying?" "Kung Zi..." "It's Ah To's fault, I'll teach him a lesson." "It's too late, Kung Zi won't return." "What?" "Kung Zi has returned to Japan?" "Yes, follow me." "A long time in Hong Kong but you haven't written." "Yes, I've been busy ...that's why." "Who is this man?" "He..." "Kung Zi, a broken marriage is a painful thing." "Kung Zi." "Dad." ""Ninjitsu"" "Every problem can be talked over and resolved." "Why have you come back to Japan?" "Does Ah To know?" "No idea." "I've been back a few days." "This Ah To, he should have come to..." "Japan with you." "Are you..." "Kung Zi is my daughter-in-law, let go." "Please let go..." "He..." "Meet the famous martial artist" "Takeno the ninja." "Kung Zi." "Practice hard if you don't want to be bullied." "Kung Zi, come back with me." "I'll get Ah To to apologise to you." "Until I have accomplished my training I won't return." "Let's go." "Farewell." "Kung Zi..." "Since childhood they're practising martial arts... and have been real close;" "you ought to return soon." "Ask Ah To to bring her back, otherwise..." "Alright, I understand, I'll go immediately." "Master." "Leave me alone, the moonlight leads the way home." "Dad, you're back." "Ah To, Kung Zi has returned to Japan." "Why didn't you go after her?" "What is she to me?" "She's your wife for God's sake!" "Wife?" "I suggest you go to Japan and apologise to her." "Father." "I tell you." "If you don't, you'll be risking this relationship." "In Japan there's a martial artist called Takeno... who is real close with Kung Zi." "I don't care." "You... stand right there." "Did you hear what I said?" "Brother, let it go..." "You've just arrived, leave everything till tomorrow." "Yes, take it easy." "Ah To, you're too much." "Master." "What is it?" "Master, I..." "Oh God, my back!" "Master, I have a way... which must work." "You're up to your nonsense again." "Oh, my butt!" "This is for real." "This will help get madam back... while you needn't go to Japan." "Really?" "Of course." "Master, sit down first." "Please sit..." "Come, take it." "Come..." "What do you think?" "Good." "Correct?" "Yes." "You're progressing quickly." "Kung Zi." "I regret burying myself deep training in martial arts." "Otherwise you would have been my wife." "Mr. Takeno." "Ms Kung Zi, a letter for you." "A challenge letter." "Kung Zi, I hear Japan has martial arts too." "The martial arts have a long history and ...originated from China." "Chinese kung fu is famous the world over, while..." "Japanese martial arts are comparatively insignificant" "And it was proved" "Chinese kung fu is better." "Back in Japan you must have progressed in your skills." "And if you are up for a contest with me... regardless of what martial arts you use;" "As long as you win in one category," "I'll admit to losing." " Ah To" "What do you think?" "Teacher, what should we do?" ""Japanese Martial world pioneer"" "Kung Zi." "Is your Chinese husband good at kung fu?" "Well, he..." "According to the letter, he is." "I want to see for myself." "Teacher, I'll go too." ""Black belt Judo"" "Teacher, I'll go too." ""Royal Kando"" "Teacher, I'll go too." ""Coach of Yali"" "Teacher, I'll go too." ""Head of a Karate Gymnasium"" "Teacher, I'll go too." ""Double-section-pole Expert"" "Teacher, I'll go too." ""Sai Expert"" "Teacher, I'll go too." "Goodbye, Ms. Kung Zi." ""Ho's Residence"" "Wait and see." "Madam will return today." "In fact, right now, she might..." "There she is." "Wow, so many relatives!" "Where's madam?" "Where's Ho To?" "You must be her brother, you're her grandfather." "You're her uncle, you're her cousin." "You're her brother." "Is... is this not a challenge letter?" "Yes, we have come to take up the challenge." "Then you're not..." "Quick, ask Ho To to see me." "Master." "Master, at the gate..." "What is it?" "You're..." "Are you Ah To?" "Yes." "I am Takeno." "Your fame precedes you." "Thank you." "Meet Japan's famous senior master Kato." "My specialty is Ninjitsu." "These are masters of various Japanese martial arts." "We have come to take up your challenge." "The challenge?" "I have no quarrel with Japanese martial arts." "There must be some misunderstanding." "Did you write this?" ""To Kung Zi"" "Yes." "That was written to my wife." "How did you get it?" "Kung Zi is Japanese." "If you challenge her... it's the same as you challenging us." "This is between us as husband and wife." "She is no longer your wife." "What... did you say?" "Master." "He is a Japanese Kendo expert." "And you hold a Chinese sword." "Why don't you see who's better?" "I have no such intention." "You're pretty good, lad." "Why don't you take my sword?" "You Chinese have no manners." "You Japanese are ill-mannered." "I fear you not, I can fight all of you together." "Don't worry." "We Japanese don't do such dishonourable things." "He is the next competitor." "He is a Karate expert in Japan." "It'll be one on one." "I'll arrange a time with you." "Ah To, you are in great trouble." "I never thought it would be like this." "Teacher, since the Japanese are here... we must not let them think we're weak." "We can gather all the kung fu experts ...and hold a martial arts competition." "Right..." "Wang Chun Keung." "It's alright if we fight to share our martial arts experience." "But if we beat this bunch... another bunch will come." "Inevitably, some people will get hurt." "Think about it." "Is this our purpose of practising kung fu?" "Teacher, what are we going to do?" "We can't let Ah To face them all by himself." "He surely is no match for them." "Wang Chun Keung, teacher is right." "We shouldn't let things go out of hand." "They are here for a competition." "I'll face them one by one." "Even if I lose... it'll just concern me lt'd have nothing to do with the Chinese martial world." "It's good that you understand." "Your kung fu foundation is not bad." "You may not lose in every bout." "You've won in fencing today." "Tomorrow's Karate fight is about kicks and punches." "The Japanese' power in using the palm strike is great." "It may be difficult to handle your opponent." "You are no match for him." "Ah To, you don't have to be so disheartened." "Chinese kung fu has many forms and movements." "In comparison Japanese fist styles are limited." "Teacher, which kind of kung fu should I use?" "Face him with Shaolin Arahat Fist;" "force against force." "No, you can use any style as a matter of fact" "But I think if you want to win... you should use soft skills against power." "Japanese fist styles are powerful and explosive." "You must fight with agility and variations ...while attacking with force." "Teacher, how should I fight?" "Drunken boxing" ""Master So"" "I'll go plead with him" "Ah To, it's no use." "You know uncle doesn't teach others." "Then what should I do?" "Come here." "If teacher knows about this, we're dead." "It's for you to learn Drunken boxing." "Teacher wouldn't blame us." "Go." "Again..." "Kid, if you want to sit, I'll let you." "Go on, quick." "He's not moving." "Try again." "We've suffered a number of blows already." "It's your turn." "Ah To, have you learnt it?" "Yes, but somewhat unclear." "Unclear?" "Try again." "Dreamy eyes, power in softness." "Turn with your hip, and be light of foot." "Ah To, do you understand... what he just performed?" "Almost." "There're people here." "Let's practise in the school." "Alright, go home and practise." "Good bye..." "Ah To." "Kung Zi, you're back." "How could you write such a challenge letter?" "It's from me to you." "Who asked you to disclose it to others?" "I..." "Did you think I would be scared by... the large group of people you've brought?" "I didn't bring those guys." "If I lose, it'd just mean shame for me." "No big deal!" "When the Kendo master presented you with the sword, ...why did you ignore him?" "When did he present me with the sword?" "He wanted to give you his sword as a sign he yielded." "This is the highest form of respect ...according to the Samurai spirit." "Oh, that's why he wanted to present me with his sword." "You ought to have received it with both hands." "You'd instantly have become friends... and that would have buried the hatchet." "Now..." "As you have declined his respect, he will take this as a great insult and might kill himself by Seppuku." "So it will not be an ordinary competition." "They must try every effort to beat you." "Master..." "The Japanese have delivered a challenge letter." "We'll await you at the 5 Goats Ridge at noon tomorrow." " Takeno." "Gentlemen, I started this" "Owing to a slight misunderstanding on my part ...you all had to come to China." "Please plead with them on my behalf." "Kung Zi, I cannot accept that your husband ...has been bullying his Japanese wife." "I am here to fight for your honor." "I don't want you to." "Kung Zi." "Ah To." "Why did you plea with them?" "You have shamed your husband." "We Chinese will not back off." "Sir, please instruct me." "How could you get drunk before a fight?" "How could you drink?" "Tell him." "This is the famous Drunken Boxing." "It's the Chinese Drunken Boxing." "Stop, you've lost." "Teacher, let me try again." "I've lost, you can do what you like with me." "Wasn't it agreed we'll fight one master each day?" "Yes, he'll wait for you at your place tomorrow." "Madam." "Following..." "The opponent has a Nunchaku in his right hand and a short stick in his left hand." "It is similar to..." "Sword and stick in Chinese kung fu, right?" "Yes" "But the weapons are slightly different." "His weapon is rare even in Japan." "Then his style must have many variations." "What weapon will you use against him?" "Double-section-pole." "Stick..." "Shou" "Then he'd lose." "Master." "Get me a three-sectioned staff." "Good, he uses stick and Nunchaku which are like the 3-sectioned staff; this is fair." "There are many variations with the 3-sectioned staff." "Your three-sectioned staff is longer than my Nunchaku" "I have lost." "Madam, he must have said... his weapon is shorter, that's why he's lost." "Yes." "Don't be too happy, there's still tomorrow." "Master, I've lost." "Tomorrow." "Follow me." "Stop fighting." "Master..." "Are you ready?" "He asked if you're ready?" "Wasn't I going to fight one opponent each day?" "Wasn't this the arrangement?" "Yes." "What is he doing?" "What are you doing?" "I'm waiting." "He's waiting." "Waiting?" "Would you be waiting till dawn?" "You..." "Are you really going to wait here?" "Alright then, suit yourself." "It's tomorrow now." "He said it's a new day now." "A new day?" "It isn't dawn yet." "It isn't dawn yet." "Look." "It's past twelve, that means a new day." "He said it's past twelve so it's a new day now." "You're sly." "You won't even let me rest." "You won't let him rest." "Dare not fight, huh?" "What?" "I'll fight with you." "Master..." "You admit defeat?" "He asked if you admit defeat?" "Master..." "You're sly to have smeared oil on your body." "He said you're sly to have smeared oil on your body." "You've come to look for master at this late hour." "You're the sly one." "You've come to look for him this late, you're sly." "Are you fighting?" "If not you lose." "He says if you don't fight you lose." "I must fight." "Come on." "He has fallen..." "You're not fighting anymore?" "I've lost." "He..." "He said he's lost." "He's called Never Topple;" "admits defeat as he's fallen." "He should have fallen long ago." "What a strange person, his kung fu is good." "He is not the best, wait till you meet Takeno."
