==Plot==
Tatsuya was first seen throwing his alarm clock, since he couldn't stand the noise. Tatsuya then started to think back on what he has done, killing Toda and about what Taizan said earlier. As Tatsuya stares at his fist, he wonders about his experience and his "philosophy".
Tatsuya is seen talking to Kuki, who he said that the detective is looking for him. Kuki wonders what detective he's talking about, which Tatsuya told him about Detective Takenaka. Kuki doesn't know what he's talking about and wonders if this detective is good, to which Tatsuya said yes. Kuki laughs that cops are now watching over him. Tatsuya then said he doesn't trust Kuki yet, that someone is getting more money than he was receiving. On top of that, Tatsuya believes that even if he does win 10 battles, he would be turned in anyway. But Kuki countered by saying Tatsuya beat Hyuga and that even he did give him more money, he would run away. However, he said he will give more money to Tatsuya next time. Kuki then received a call, which Tatsuya asks what it is, but Kuki said it's none of his business. Kuki then said to Tatsuya if he wants more money, then they have a job for him to do, that there's a store that needs cleaning, but Tatsuya said he won't do that.
Later, Tatsuya met up with Rikuoh again in a restaurant. Tatsuya said he's hungry, but Rikuoh said he will take him somewhere to eat since he's the main fighter. As they are enjoying some beef bowls, Tatsuya suddenly gets down after seeing Detective Takenaka walking by. The Rikuoh asks Tatsuya who was he and asks if the boss can help him. After Tatsuya got up, he said he can't do that and has his own reasons. Then he left the restaurant.
While walking by, a strange man approaches Tatsuya. Tatsuya realizes that the man is Masumi Yuki, his teacher and the one responsible for calling Takenaka and putting Tatsuya in prison for a year. Tatsuya asks what does he want, he stated Takenaka was looking for him. Tatsuya grabs Yuki and demands to know what he told him, which he said that he's his student and haven't seen him for a while. Tatsuya warns him if he ever speaks about him stealing money again to Takenaka again, he'll beat him up. Yuki says he won't, but wonders what's up with Tatsuya since he looks afraid. Tatsuya didn't say anything and just left the scene.
While Tatsuya was walking, a car stopped by and a man inside gave a piece of paper. It was from Kuki, who said in the paper is his next match, Yuki. Tatsuya wonders if it's a woman, but the man said women cannot fight.
When Tatsuya got back in Dragon Heat, he's surprised to see the fighter, Yuki, who's actually the man he spoke with earlier. While Tatsuya was sitting on the bench, Saki asks if Yuki was Tatsuya's teacher. Saki said it was indeed strange when she checked on Yuki's body, that he never broke any bones in his body. Tatsuya was about to say not really, since he was beaten up in the past, but Saki thinks he's protecting something. According to Taizan, Saki said Yuki was a master of aikido and karate, so it was easy for him to protect his body. Saki wonders if Tatsuya's scared, but Tatsuya shouts back in rejection, saying if Yuki's a fighter, he will beat him up.
While Rikuoh was announcing Yuki, Kuki states Tatsuya on how much he hates that teacher and caused him to go into juvenile detention. Kuki said that Yuki had to leave Kansai because of his of teaching and came here to let his stress out. Kuki asks Tatsuya what's going to do, and that he says he's going to kill him.
As Tatsuya and Yuki meet in the ring, Tatsuya asks that if Yuki was a fighter, why didn't he bother to hit back. But Yuki said Tatsuya wouldn't understand. After Tatsuya said how Yuki was scared in being terminated from work because of that, Yuki slammed his wooden sword, saying how Tatsuya didn't learn anything from juvenile. Yuki then said he will be the one to fix Tatsuya up with his fist.
In the end, Tatsuya won and roared in victory once again. Tatsuya then said to Yuki he's a good fighter, but wonders why he hides it. Yuki said back when he was young, training in karate, the students used to beat him up. But then he found something, and that every fist is different. He thought by using his fist, young people would be able to grow and understand, but he was wrong. That was how he got fired, because people denied his teaching and using his fist. As Tatsuya tries to bring out more questions, Yuki got enraged that people like would never understand. Yuki then threw punches at Tatsuya out of rage. But as Tatsuya tell him to stop, he sees Yuki crying and allowed him to hit him. Kuki orders his security to stop Yuki, but Taizan stops them. After Yuki stops punching, Tatsuya seems to understand a bit, saying he may have won, but it didn't feel like he did. Yuki chuckles and started thanking Tatsuya for understanding, but Tatsuya said he didn't let Yuki hit him to endure, but Yuki's fist taught him something. He may have gotten fired from school, but Tatsuya said he might be right.
In the medic room, Saki commented that may have been the toughest battle yet, but told Tatsuya that he has to plan his battles, otherwise he won't win. Tatsuya tells her to stop preaching to him like a teacher, and Saki left, saying she was worried about him. As Taizan came in, he questions Tatsuya why didn't he defend himself against Yuki. Tatsuya said it was because of Taizan, about what he said before to have a philosophy to be the strongest through experience. Taizan agrees that's one of the things Tatsuya was missing. He explains further that there are two choices, attack or running away. Like Saki said, Tatsuya must have a plan. Not only that, Taizan stated Tatsuya must also find a purpose in fighting, just like how Yuki did.
Later, Tatsuya met up with Yuki again, saying he wants to learn the guard in aikido. Yuki said it will be hard and Tatsuya will have to pay him, which he will. Tatsuya asks if Yuki's coming back to Dragon Heat, which he planned to, but changed his mind since he doesn't have a reason to come here anymore. Yuki tells Tatsuya to come to his house and he'll teach him.
