Taehoon is still getting smacked around by Mangil. Mangi comes in to help but Taehoon tells him to stay back and not embarass him. He tries to kick Mangil but he misses. Mangil says it's unbelievable that he is Hansu's son. When he was younger he suffered a catastrophic defeat at the hands of Hansu, and he made it his mission to kill him later on. Mangil says he will bring Hansu his son's corpse. Taehoon loses it and attacks blindly, but Mangil hits him with his own 1080 degree kick. As Taehoon lies on the ground Mangil mocks him for being sheltered, saying a child that grew up like that could never match a real street fighter.

Taehoon recalls his father telling him that he has no reason to fight, and therefore will never be able to defeat anyone. Taehoon waved off the advice, but inside he knew his reason to fight was to protect Hobin in his endeavors, and so he would never lose again. Taehoon does a spinning kick at Mangil, who is confused because he jumped early. Then he realizes that Taehoon has not done a 1080 kick, but a 1440 degree kick. Mangil just stands and takes it. As he lays on the ground he congratulates Taehoon on his victory, but Taehoon steps on his face and tells him to shut up when he's lost.
