Before Battle with Rugal (Art of Fighting Team)
|
Congratulations on your victory! The sponsor of the tournament welcomes you with open arms. He wishes to invite you... Please, follow me.
|
|
Welcome to my museum. My name is Rugal. I'm the host of this tournament.
|
|
What? Rugal!? Wait! I've heard of your name... I've heard Rugal is the merchant of death who dominates the black market of the world...
|
|
That is correct. You are very knowledgeable. I guess you've gone through many fights.... Sorry to rush you, but I want you to join my collection.
|
|
What? Collection?
|
|
Look at the statues around you! These are the end result of fighters that I've beaten so far. Don't you think they are wonderful?
|
|
You.. You are mad!
|
|
Ha ha ha. I'm perfectly sane. Now, let's go to the battle stage.
|
|
|
|
Prefight (Chin vs. Takuma)
|
Hohoho! You don't seem to be able to control your fighting spirit. You're still young! I envy that...
|
|
Hearing that from a senior citizen, I'm at a loss for words. So I'll just let my fists do the talking!
|
|
|
|
Prefight (Kyo vs. Takuma)
|
Sorry, man, but I don't think this is the place to come to if you want to increase the number of your disciples. The only thing people are going to see on TV is the moment you lose to me!
|
|
Hahaha! You have a lot of pep, young rascal! I'll teach you some decent manners in Saisyu's stead. Now come!
|
|
|
|
Prefight (Mad Ash vs. Takuma)
|
How much time have you spent devoting yourself to Karate? 5, 10 years? More than that, right? And yet, everything you've spent half your life building up is going to be reduced to ashes! Doesn't that make you feel sad? Doesn't it make you want to die?
|
|
What are you going on about? The power of Kyokugen is right here, in my fists! Kyokugen will not die out as long as it exists in my hands!
|
|
You're a fool. When time is reduced to ashes, you will not be around anymore!
|
|
|
|
Prefight (Shen vs. Takuma)
|
That scar doesn't look like it was put there for decoration... I think I'm going to enjoy this!
|
|
That makes two of us. You look like you've been through a lot too.
|
|
Nothing I'd care to talk about. Actions speak louder than words, old man!
|
|
You young people are always in such a hurry. Very well! I shall show you the power of Kyokugen!
|
|
|
|
Prefight (Takuma vs. Athena)
|
I have never once underestimated the power of Kung Fu after my fight with Lee Gakusuo. Even if my opponent is a girl such as yourself. Make no mistake, I won't hold back on you!
|
|
Thank you! It means a lot to me that you acknowledge me as a true martial artist! Now let us fight with no holds barred!
|
|
|
|
Prefight (Takuma vs. Daimon)
|
I can see you've got talent, and you'd make a great Karateka! It's still not too late! Want to study Kyokugen?
|
|
I appreciate the invitation, but I only care about Judo... But I'm sure Kyokugen will prove very educational! Let's begin!
|
|
Hahaha! Well spoken! I shall show you my Demon Fist without mercy!
|
|
|
|
Prefight (Takuma vs. Elizabeth)
|
You seem to be quite formidable. I won't even say "for a woman."
|
|
If you can see that, then please step aside! I have important matters to attend to!
|
|
Preposterous! As a martial artist, I live to fight the strong! If you want to go on, you'll have to defeat me!
|
|
Very well... There is nothing I fear!
|
|
|
|
Prefight (Takuma vs. Hwa Jai)
|
Strength, skill and experience. You excel at all of these, and yet...
|
|
What do you mean "yet"? There are no yets, ifs or buts to my strength!
|
|
A calm and clear mind is what you lack, you pathetic fool.
It doesn't matter how good a martial artist you are, if you do not have the correct state of mind to go with it.
|
|
Shut up, you old geezer! Hwa Jai does not take advice from a Karateka!
|
|
|
|
Prefight (Takuma vs. K')
|
Are you satisfied just cursing your own misfortune? That must be a pretty easy way to get through life.
|
|
Easy!? What are you on about!?
|
|
If you've got time to sulk, use it to fight! Don't curse your fate, but fight it!
|
|
Mind your own business! Get out of my sight, you noisy old man!
|
|
|
|
Prefight (Takuma vs. Kensou)
|
You're one of Master Chin's young disciples. Good, I see you have grown up a bit.
|
|
Hey now, hold on for a second there, old man! "A bit"!? What do you mean "a bit"!? That's understating things! I'm sure you'll think better of me if you try to fight me. You'll see how much I've grown up!
|
|
I look forward to it! Although I don't much approve of your lip!
|
|
|
|
Prefight (Takuma vs. Leona)
|
You carry yourself well, and you have a quiet determination... Very good for a young girl such as yourself! Too bad that you lack experience, though. You cannot defeat my Demon Fists like that.
|
|
I don't care how you evaluate me. All I care about is carrying out my mission.
|
|
|
|
Prefight (Takuma vs. Vice)
|
You're that wench from the Orochi Clan... I've heard all about you from Saisyu!
|
|
You dare mention that geezer's name in front of me!? Do you have a death wish or something? Just looking at stubborn old fools like you makes my blood boil!
|
|
|
|
Prefight (Takuma vs. Yuri)
|
Listen to me, Yuri! I will not tell you not to use Karate for anything other than self-defense! But be sincere in your attacks! That's what is lacking in your Karate!
|
|
You and Ryo are so old-fashioned! You need to look at everything case by case! You two can be all serious about it, but this style suits me much better! What does it matter, anyway? If 100 people study Karate, they will all fight in 100 different ways!
|
|
You think you know it all, don't you? I shall make you see the error of your ways!
|
|
|
|
Prefight (Terry vs. Takuma)
|
Huh? What's up with the mask, Mr... uh... Tengu?
|
|
I'm not a tengu! I'm Mr. Karate! K-A-R-A-T-E! KARATE!
|
|
Wow, if you get all excited like that, that must mean you really ARE Mr. Karate...
|
|
I've had enough! I'm not Mr. Karate! If you don't shut up now, I'll let my fists do the talking!
