Here it is, after all the hard work, the summaries for the
Street Fighter Zero and Street Fighter Zero 2: Sakura Ganbaru!
mangas by Masahiko Nakahira, serialised in Gamest, published
by Shinseisha. As everyone should know, Street Fighter Zero 3
took lots of storyline influence from both of these works.
Feel free to distribute this summary as long as it stays
complete in it's entirety.
Below is the summary for the first volume of Street Fighter
Zero 2: Sakura Ganbaru!. Note that the names are the Japanese
names, and may differ from the actual name. Also, some typos
and bad translations may occur, sorry if there are any.
Finally, remember that this is a SUMMARY and not a manga
translation, hence the looseness of the translations.
Ikuzou!
The first scene is narrated by Sakura, as the shot shows her
typical Japanese suburb home.
Hi, my name's Sakura Kasugano, 15 years old. I'm still
studying, but I'm also a Street Fighter! Sakura turns off
the alarm clock, which says 6.30 am.
Time for training! and Sakura goes down the stairs . She
then sees her brother playing Super Famicom (SNES).
Sakura : Oka-san (Mom)! Tsukushi's still playing video games!
Tsukushi : Keep quiet, I'm still far from the end.
Tsukushi continues playing Final Fight (he's facing Sodom).
Mom then enters the room, with a laundry basket. She asks
Sakura about the commotion she's making, and how it might
upset the neighbors.
Oka-san : Still not finished yet? Don't give up, Tsukushi,
I want to see you beat that game!
Oka-san gives her son moral support, which makes Sakura
puzzled. Tsukushi then asks why Sakura is wearing her
sailor fuku (the school uniform) on a Sunday.
Sakura : Because, as a Street Fighter, image is important.
It will differentiate you from the rest. Anyway,
you won't understand...
She then asks permission from mom to go 'for a walk', while
Tsukushi asks where is she headed. Mom asks her where she's
going, but Sakura just says, "Ittekimasu (I'm going)!" and
Mom reminds her to "Make sure to come home before lunch!"
Sakura doesn't want her parents to know she's now a Street
Fighter, because she'd be scolded (a picture of Ken Shamrock
mat-wrestling is shown). Suddenly,
Dan : Hei, kid, wait up!
Dan Hibiki appears behind a lamp post.
Dan : Last time, I faked my defeat, but this time, I'll
show you who's the best for sure!
Dan does his taunt while saying this.
Sakura : Hmmph, it's you again. Don't try to make a fool
of yourself.
Dan is a Street Fighter from Hong Kong, he's here to exact
revenge.
Dan: This is my chance. Go! (Dan starts running).
Sakura : Hey, that's unfair!
Dan : In this game, everything's fair! Come on, race
with me!.
The result sees Sakura winning the race, again, as usual.
Sakura : Kachi da (My victory!).
Dan always try to race against me, and always lose. "Hey, I
want to learn something new today!" Sakura said to Dan who
is lying face-first on the grass.
Dan asks Sakura if she had mastered last week's technique,
which Sakura answers yes. Then he asks her to show it to him.
"I've changed the name of the move," Sakura shyly admits, but
Dan doesn't mind. Then, "Sho-ouken!" and Dan is knocked down
by the attack. "Ahh, gomennasai (sorry)! I always repeat this
mistake when doing it (a diagram shows the correct Shoryuken,
and Sakura's Shoouken, while Shoryuken goes straight up,
Shoouken takes a step forward before going up)".
Sakura bows her head, repeatedly saying "I'm sorry!", but Dan
is thinking that this girl wasn't joking when she said she
wanted to Street Fight. "She has potential."
"OK, I'll teach you a new move." Dan says as he thinks this
is his chance to show off. "Yes, a new move. It's called
Gadouken, and it can cause you harm if done incorrectly."
Dan then starts to explain the fundamentals of the move,
(something about air, which makes Sakura puzzled) which
is actually related to Tai Chi, and Dan then readies his
hand, a glow is seen and "Ureya!", he launches the
Gadouken. However, Sakura managed to dodge the projectile
unharmed.
"Why did you dodge the move?" Dan asks her. "It's dangerous
if it hits!" "Hmm, if I can learn this move, I won't be
afraid of someone stronger than I am. I must study harder!"
Sakura thought. Dan then makes an excuse to end the lesson
("That Shoouken really hurts"), and Sakura thanked him
for teaching her the Gadouken.
"Ja, mata ne (See you)!". Dan thought to himself, this girl
is weird, usually girls her age would be dreaming of idols,
branded goods or involved in puppy love, but she's into
Street Fighting. "Maybe she'll be a champion. She did learn
my moves quite fast. I'm worried she'd surpass me!"
Sakura is jogging when she sees her friend beside her riding
a Piaggio Vespa (think retro-style scooter), and tells Kei
that she can't ride a scooter since she doesn't have a license.
(Kei is wearing a black baby-T and khaki shorts with matching
black riding boots and gloves).
"Now's not the time for this!" Kei screamed. Then Sakura saw
Tsukushi crying on the pillion seat.
Later...
Sakura : Oh, the game cartridge was stolen by gangsters.
Kei : I think the Metro Setagaya gang did it. I was going
to bring him to the police station to make a report.
Tsukushi : But ne-chan (means sister or sis), the cartridge
was someone else's, what are we going to do?
Sakura : Don't be a crybaby! (Sakura hits her brother on his
head) Don't worry, I'll help you get the cartridge
back.
The two siblings and their friend are spying on a video game
shop (it's called Game Pro, of all names...), which Tsukushi
said where the gang usually sold their stolen cartridges.
Sakura is determined to get it back for her brother, but Kei
is worried that she might get hurt.
Sakura : Don't worry, it'll be good for my Street Fighting.
Kei and Tsukushi : Street Fighting?
Sakura : (In front of Game Pro) Hey, chinpira (small-time
gangsters), come out! Aren't you ashamed of
yourselves, stealing games from defenceless
children? Come out, I want justice!
Nobody answered, and Sakura turned to Kei, who told her to
look back, and there he was, a giant hulk of a man, coming
out from the door.
Hulk : Who's the wise guy trying to ruin my business? I'm
gonna kill you!
Hulk saw the little girl in front of him and deduced that
she's the one. Then he saw her short skirt and said to himself,
"Ooh, how cute!". Then he said, "Before I beat you, I'm gonna
see your underpants!" (Ooh, a paedophile!) and punched Sakura,
who fortunately evaded the attack.
Sakura : Wow, he's the strongest opponent I've ever faced.
Kei : Sakura, be careful!
Tsukushi : Beat the fat @$$, ne-chan!
Hulk then does a few more punches, and Sakura is amazed at the
speed and strength of the giant man. She asked Tsukushi what is
the style of the man, and Tsukushi answered back, "It's western
Boxing, ne-chan...".
Sakura dodges more punches from Hulk, and saw her opening for
the Sho-ouken, but she realized she made the same mistake
(taking a step forward) and only grazed Hulk's body. We then
see Sakura get thrown into Dan, who's shopping for groceries.
Tsukushi : Ne-chan!
Kei : Sakura-chan!
Sakura : He's strong AND fast! His hands have long reach, if
only there's a long range attack that I can use...
Hulk : (Charging towards Sakura) Die!
Dan : (Rises from the ground) Damn, who knocked me over?
Oh, it's you Sakura. (Sees Hulk charging towards them)
Where did this guy come from?
Sakura : (Sees Dan, and thinks to herself) Well, even though
I haven't tried it, but I have no choice. I'm small,
but I have confidence. If I want to be strong, then
I can't lose.
Sakura then does a Hadoken. Dan sees his "student" do the
Hadoken first time. Tsukushi and Kei are surprised. Then all
of them hear a loud crash, and Hulk has fallen to the ground.
Sakura : Hah, it's not as hard as it looks.
Dan : (Crying because Sakura surpassed him again) Not, it's
not possible!
Tsukushi and Kei : (Both in ecstatic mood) Sakura, you're the
greatest!
Sakura then does the 'V' sign (the peace sign with the
fingers). She thinks to herself, that she's ready for more
challenges.
The next part is Sakura's first meeting with Kanzuki Karin.
Inside a Rolls Royce, Shibazaki (the bespectacled gentleman
in Karin's SFZ3 ending) is chauffeuring young Miss Kanzuki
back from a street fight.
Shibazaki : Karin-san (Miss Karin)! You must stop these
'Street Fighting' activities. It's against
family tradition.
Karin : Don't worry, Shibazaki. I've explained it all to
oto-sama (Father). The Kanzuki clan controls the
world's politics and economy through it's power.
As our long-time servant, you should know...
Shibazaki : The Kanzuki are winners in everything!
Karin : If our ancestors can bring fame to the Kanzuki
name during the Sengoku period, then I can too!
Shibazaki then thinks to himself that Karin, at such a
young age, has matured tremendously and have mastered the
Kanzuki philosophies. "People like us cannot be compared
to anyone..."
Then Karin sees a roadside Street Fight and got
interested. She orders Shibazaki to stop the car. She
then sees a young schoolgirl fighting a man much older
than her.
Sakura does her 'flower kick' (towards + MK in SFZ2),
and KO's her opponent. "Too easy!" she said, before Dan
smacked her head and said, "Don't be too cocky!". The
crowd is cheering the victor, Sakura.
Dan : I thought they'd be some real challengers here, but
there's only trash. You too, Sakura, you need more
strength in your attacks.
Sakura : Yes, I understand.... (Thinks to herself) I only
knew what Street Fighting is all about only after
meeting Dan. Everyone likes to watch it. It's like
a parade or a festival. Sometimes there are tough
challengers. It's very exciting for me, maybe
because of 'that man'. Maybe 'that man' is fighting
somewhere else, but I can feel his presence right
next to me.
The crowd then cheers even louder when they see Dan entering.
"Even though the world is big, it won't stop me from expanding
Saikyo-ryuu all over it!" Dan said as he does the Chouhatsu
Densetsu. The crowd goes wild over Dan's showing off, all
except Sakura who knows better.
Karin winds up her windowscreen and orders Shibazaki to head
home. "I want to know who that girl is. Get that information
tomorrow," ordered Karin.
"The girl with the same uniform as you, Karin-san?" Shibazaki
asks for confirmation, but Karin doesn't reply. Instead, she
is wondering why she hasn't seen her at school before.
Meanwhile Sakura is looking at the sky, thinking about
the world.
The next morning, students are seen converging toward their
school. Among them, Sakura and Kei.
Sakura : Kei-chan, ohaiyo! ('Morning Kei!)
Kei : You know, you should stop fighting, or you'll get ugly
from all that bruises.
Sakura : Never mind, we're going to be late for school!
Over a cellphone, Karin is receiving Sakura's biodata from
Shibazaki.
Shibazaki : Name is Sakura Kasugano. DOB is March 15th.
Blood type is A. Height is 157 cm (about 5' 2").
Weight is 42 kgs (about 100 pounds, I guess). Eye
sights are perfect 20/20. Likes sports, rice and
is currently into Street Fighting. Weak in maths
and doesn't like video games.
While this is happening, Sakura is shown in Physical Ed class
(usually the first class of the morning) breaking the school
high jump record, while the others are just plain amazed.
Shibazaki : (Continues his report) She's open-minded. Loves
to fantasize about having long hair like her
bestfriend Kei Chitose...
Karin : (Outside class, talking to cellphone) Shibazaki, skip
the unimportant infos. So, she's just a commoner, but
why is she's interested in Street Fighting?
Shibazaki : (He's shown near a computer console, with lots of
computer hardware and a large monitor ala Batcave)
That's all I can dig up. Currently she's with
Dan Hibiki, which I assume is to get her exposure
into Street Fighting. His moves resemble the USA
Street Fighting champion, Ken Masters. Incredible.
Karin : I've seen 'him'. The young fighter, who injured the
Thailand Kick-boxing 'Emperor'. Ken Masters and
'that man' are from the same martial arts school!
Shibazaki, prepare the fighting ring this afternoon.
Shibazaki : But Karin-san, you shouldn't fight people like her!
Karin : I've made my decision, because she's an excellent fighter.
It's recess time, and the two best friends are enjoying their
bento (lunchbox) when suddenly Karin appeared behind them,
bringing a half-dozen chefs with her. (Karin is wearing the
same school uniform like Sakura, which is white shirt with
no zipper front, yellow-blue scarf, short blue skirt, standard
loose-fit socks and dress shoes).
Karin : Hajimemashite, Sakura-san. Atashi wa Kanzuki Karin desu.
(How are you, Miss Sakura. I am Karin Kanzuki.) (To the
chefs) Serve the guest.
Chefs : Hai! Ojo-sama. (Yes! Mistress.)
The chefs then wheeled in several serving trays and laid out a
feast worthy of a queen in front of Sakura, who is just sitting
there with a puzzled look.
Karin : If you want to win, then you must have enough energy.
This the tradition of the Kanzukis toward their rivals.
Sakura then starts to eat the food on the table but Kei whopped
her head (that's the third time this has happened to anyone).
Sakura : Oww! Why did you hit me?
Kei : Do you realise what she's up to?
Sakura : (Smiling) Yes, she wants to fight me.
Karin : Wrong, I just want to prove that I am the winner in
Street Fighting. (Leaves the room, smiling) See you
at the courthall (a sort of an indoor stadium).
Sakura : I've never met anyone this nice to me!
Kei : Wake up, Sakura! She's Karin Kanzuki! She's the heiress
of a rich family and only goes to school to look at
people's desire. She's beautiful, smart and likes to
criticise. She's an expert in a variety of martial arts.
Even though she's a certified grandmaster, she's always
looking for new challenges. If you fight her, your life
could be threatened. It's all because of that Street
Fighting you're into.
While Kei is explaining this to Sakura, images of Karin as a
school girl and a Karate master is shown. Next, it shows the
courthall with Kei and Sakura outside. Then Sakura opens the
door and enters.
Sakura : Don't you worry, Kei-chan, I have to fight her to
gain strength to reach 'that man's' level.
Kei : You mentioned 'that man' again. Who is he?
Sakura: (Ignores the question) Wow, it's so dark in here.
Suddenly the floodlights are switched on, and Sakura sees a
grimacing face. As the hall gets brighter, she sees a human
pyramid, with Karin on top of it. (Karin is wearing her SFZ3
outfit, except that her zippered uniform is white, not red).
Karin : I've been waiting for you. Don't worry, I've sealed
off the place. No one's going to see you lose.
Sakura : (Whispers to Kei) But there's still too many people
inside (referring to the human pyramid).
Kei : She doesn't respect our status at all.
Then a judo fighter in the middle of the pyramid asks to fight
Sakura first, because she doesn't believe Sakura's fit enough
to fight Karin.
Karin : Are you sure? But then, what about the people on top
of you?
The judo fighter realises his mistake, and starts to cry. He
then apologizes to Karin and the rest of the human pyramid,
that he's selfish on his feeling. Karin remarked that that's
why he or anyone else on the pyramid, isn't qualified to fight
her. Karin then jumps down from the pyramid and walks towards
Sakura.
Karin : According to Street Fighting rules, anything goes.
Agree?
Sakura : Umm, OK, but what are they (the human pyramid) doing
here?
Karin : They are the top athletes from each sport in this
school. Above them all is me, Karin Kanzuki. Now,
we're equal.
"You should feel honored to face someone of my stature!" said
Karin as she begins her attack with a few jabs. Sakura parries
the jabs and saw an opening, but Karin does her counter (Yasha
Gaeshi Uwadan) and throws her down the floor with a Ara-kuma
Inashi, while the pyramids encourages the girls, and Kei feeling
worried (again).
Then Sakura does her Shoouken to break free. Both take a
breather and assesses each others strength. Karin realizes
that Sakura's a real threat and starts to get serious and
does her Kourenken (at least that what it looks like), and
the pyramid is amazed that Sakura has blocked them all,
while Kei is worried that so far Sakura is limited to
blocking attacks. Karin ends her Kourenken with a Mujin Kyaku
and Sakura thought it was her chance to counter, but was
nailed instead.
Sakura is fairing pretty bad. Karin goes for the kill, saying
that her victory was assured even before the match. She does a
RH kick which Sakura counters with her Flower kick (a pyramid
member said the attack was 'interesting') and adds a low Short
into Shoouken, which Karin manages to evade in time, saying she
has found Sakura's weakspot. But Karin hesitated in launching
her counter (because she's too busy gloating) and Sakura lands
just in time. She realizes that she needs to change tactics
and remember Dan's advice to improvise during combat, so she
modifies the Shoouken into the Midare Sakura which completely
takes Karin by surprise and knocks her down.
Pyramid member : Karin-san...has lost! (the athletes tumble
onto the floor, shocked that Karin had lost)
Kei : (Jumping with joy on Sakura's shoulder) Sugoi! (Great!)
Sakura : That was close. (Thinks to herself, while an image
of Ryu appears) There must be more people with the
same strength as 'that man'. Street Fighting is a good
training ground.
Days later, near Dan's campsite (he's a hobo like Ryu)
Karin : (Shibazaki at her side) Ha ha ha! I'll give you a
chance to be my teacher.
Dan : (looking puzzled) This girl is WEIRD!
The scene changes to a few weeks later, at the Kasugano's
residence. Sakura (wearing pj's) is sitting at her study table,
looking at her trinket box. Inside, wads of 1000 Yen notes
are seen. She recalls the days earlier incident...
Dan : Oh, you don't want to accept the fight money (the money
inside her trinket box)?
Sakura : But I'm not fighting for money!
Dan : Sakura, you should know that this is no ordinary money,
this is fight money, a certificate of a Street Fighter's
prowess in his skills! (Grabs Sakura in a headlock,
looking menacing) How dare you say "I don't want it!"
Sakura : I want it! I want it!
Dan : (Releases headlock) Just keep it. It might prove useful
someday.
Flashback ends, and ...
Sakura : (Slams the trinket box shut) I don't agree! Strength
is not measured by money!
Tsukushi : (Still playing SuFami downstairs) Quiet please,
I'm trying to play here!
Sakura : (an image of, yes, Ryu appears) But then I'll need it
for my fare to find 'him'. and I have to go to school
too...
Suddenly something crashes through her bedroom window, and
knocks Sakura's study chair, while Sakura scrambles away from
the shrapnel. A figure rises up, and it's Karin Kanzuki, wearing
a one-piece black blouse, the same dress shoes (boots, to be
exact) and roses as line art.
Karin : Excuse me for disturbing you. I haven't congratulated
you for defeating me the other day. (Sakura looks scared)
The reason I came here is to invite you to a Street
Fighting tournament.
Sakura : No thanks, I'm not interested.
Karin : Aren't you going to ask me why I came through your
window? Well, this is my way of intimidating you
before our rematch, when I'll surely defeat you.
(Laughs like her intro pose)
Seeing Sakura looking disinterested, she repeats her propaganda,
and the art has both looking like SD's ala Pocket Fighters.
Karin then gives her a pin with a punch embossed on one side
(it's actually a tracking device) and asks her to wear it to
school tomorrow. She added that she'll feel the heat of battle
then. Then she leaves via the smashed window, and Sakura tells
her to wait, she wants to ask more questions.
Karin : (Holding onto ladder dangling from helicopter ala SFZ3
special entrance versus Sakura) Good luck. I'll send
someone to fix the window tomorrow.
Sakura : Hey, wait!
Oto-san : (Inside house, unseen) Sakura, what is that loud
(Dad) noise?
Tsukushi : It's too noisy, I can't concentrate on the game!
The next day, Sakura (wearing the pin on her left shoulder)
and Kei are walking to school.
Kei : She gave you this pin? How ugly!
Sakura : (Strangely not wearing her white Ryu headband) I don't
know why she asked me to. I mean, I've made up my mind
to stop Street Fighting.
Kei : Honto ni (Really)? Are you serious?
Then both sees Dan Kuuryuken'ing a street punk (who looks like
Bahn from Sega's Fighting Vipers) and laughing/enjoying it.
Sakura : Dan-san!
Kei : (Looking PO'ed) Oh, great! Just the man I'd want to see
right now!
Dan : (Does his taunt win pose) I'm the best!
Punk #2 : (Checks the KO'd punk) Senpai (Senior)!
Dan : (To Sakura) Hey Sakura, you got the pin too! Look, I've
won four already!
Sakura : Wow, that is great (looking slightly disinterested).
Punk #2 : How dare you hurt my leader! (He looks just like
Bahn too, and wears a pin on his jacket lapel)
Dan : Hey, that's the rules of the jungle pal!
Punk #2 : I don't think so! (Sees Sakura with a pin) Hey
schoolgirl! Let's fight!
Sakura is surprised at the intimidation and Dan tells her to
waste no more time and beat the guy up. "But I have to go to
school now!" in which the punk answered "What, school?
I skipped school since ten years ago!" and proceeds to
fight Sakura, and manages to knock her with a 'Knuckle
Attack'.
Kei : (Again, worried about her friend) Sakura-chan!
Dan : Be careful of his punches.
The punk then goes in for the kill, but Sakura was ready and
does a low Fierce 2-in-1 Hadoken combo (which barely registers
as a combo in SFZ2), and ponders the fact that if it weren't
for their appearances, they could've been friends. Dan then
goes to the punk to see if he's still concious.
Sakura : Dan-san, I think I know why strength cannot be
compared against money. When the man punched me,
I felt the punch hard, and realised the strength
in it. That's why they continue to fight. Right,
Dan-san?
Dan : (Smiles) You're quite talkative this morning. (Tosses
the punk's pin) Here, it's yours. If you want the real
answers, tie up your hair and find it!
The scene shifts to Shibazaki's computer monitor, which shows
a map of Setagaya (I think) and Sakura's picture on a window
(the Microsoft Windows-type). Another window shows her fight
time, which was all of 18 seconds.
Shibazaki : Took only one round, Karin-san.
Karin : (On the streets, disposing a judo exponent and talking
via a Bluetooth microphone) I have expected that.
I've assembled many fighters, all fighting for the pins.
(A map of Tokyo appear behind her). If I cannot beat
Sakura, then I will ruin the Kanzuki name.
Shibazaki : (Crying) We are the winners in everything! Always
uphelding the Kanzuki name! How awe-inspiring!
Karin : Hmmph. Ganbare masu (Try for the best)!
Meanwhile, a tardy Sakura faces her next opponent. The smoke
clears, she is heard saying, "Looks like this tourney isn't
just for Japanese people," as Lee (from the first Street
Fighter) appears. Sakura wastes no time and comes in with a
few jabs and Lee counters them all. "So this is Chinese
Wu Shu (war art, the proper name for Kung Fu)," Sakura said.
She then decides to show Lee how a real counter works and does
her Kick Zero Counter (Alpha Counter, the standing Roundhouse)
but Lee was anticipating and does a splits kick (not sure if
this is his trademark move, it has been 16 years, you know...).
Sakura is knocked over to a wall, but she wasn't even fazed.
She decides to continue attacking, and while Lee punches,
Sakura leaps to the air and does a crossup Forward. Lee is
suckered, and turns around, is hit by the crossup, and Sakura
follows with standing Fierce (the double uppercut) and 2-in-1
Shoouken combo (Nakahira's art looks exactly like the in-game
animations). Lee is KO'ed, Sakura feels that this is her
'strength' and wonders when will she meet 'that man' again.
"Maybe when I'm old, when I've stopped Street Fighting".
At another alley, another martial arts exponent falls, while
Karin looks exhausted.
Karin : That's the 20th!
Shibazaki : Karin-san, daijyobu (are you OK)?
Karin : Never mind about me, how is Sakura doing?
Shibazaki : (Checks Sakura's status on computer screen) Yes,
she's defeated 18 people. There are 16 people
left, the outcome is still uncertain. (Pauses
for a moment) Oh, there's someone different.
(Karin listens in on hear headphone) There's
a fighter named Maki (the Final Fight 2 kunoichi),
who, around 3 pm, started amassing a large winning
streak.
Karin : (A long pause) 58 people defeated! (No this is not
Maki's win record, this is someone elses who just
pipped her)
Shibazaki : Yes, the unknown fighter also started at 3 pm
and defeated 58 people in the space of 2 hours.
That's roughly 2.33 seconds for each match.
Karin : Weird, who is that person? Can such a record be
attained? Get me more info, Shibazaki!
As Shibazaki acknowledges, Dan is grabbing the free beer
(it's Suntory) from a damaged vending machine, while a
fighter is seen lying next to it. He starts to feel bored
from the lack of challenge, when suddenly the fighter with
the largest win streak appears...
Ken Masters : Why don't you just give up?
Dan : Who said that? Who do you think you're talking too?
Ken : (He is doing his Start+Strong win pose, the 'scoops hair
off from his face and "Yatta, ze!" thumbs up') Ha ha ha,
I like you already!
PART TWO
Continuing where we left off, Dan just found out who taunted
him as he turned around to face the challenger.
Dan : Ha ha ha, even a small tournament like this could
attract the American Street Fighting Champion. I'm
surprised, Mr. Ken Masters.
Ken : (Holding a bunch of pins in his hand) I just like to
meddle in someone else's affairs, besides visiting my
late masters's tomb.
Dan : So desu ka, but how unfortunate of you to bump into me.
Ken : You should've said that before the match started! (Throws
down the pins)
Dan : (Does his opening pose, the taunt) Come on, you SOB!
As shouts of ki-ai are heard, Shibazaki arrives at the scene,
and quickly positioned himself out of view.
Shibazaki : Even Ken Masters is interested in this tournament.
I must inform Karin-san!
A while later...
Karin : (Adjusts her headphone while fighting) Ken Masters?
(Seen parrying an opponent's punches) Even though
this tourney is for those who have pins, but
technically anyone can enter or decline to fight.
Opponent : Tae Kwon Do and Tai Chi? This girl knows a lot
about martial arts!
Karin : Good, opponents like these (prob. referring to both
her opponent and Ken) are what I want!
Karin then does her Yasha Gaeshi Uwadan, and knocks down her
opponent. He admits defeat, and Karin rubs his wounds with
"In the Kanzuki tradition, losers are not worthy of talking
back," and smashes his face on the pavement. She then recalls
about what she knows about Ken Masters.
Karin : Hadoken, Shoryuken and Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku. Those
who master these techniques can rule the fighting
world. Sakura's moves replicate these moves. It
should prove interesting. Ah ha ha ha ha!
Back to Sakura, as she's having her lunch at the roadside.
Her sailor fuku is dirtied and she has several band-aids on
her knees and face. Then she sees Kei returning from school.
Sakura : (Feeling a bit shy about her appearance and for
skipping class) Ah, Kei-chan. You're heading back
from school...
Kei : Look at you. All dirty and full of bruises, but you can
still laugh. (Sees a crumbled wall nearby) The wall is
smashed. Are you going to destroy Setagaya just to
fulfill your hearts desire to win this tournament?
A short pause, and...
Kei : But I saw this cute Street Fighter on my way home.
I'll forgive you if you could ask his name for me...
Sakura : (Looks somewhat disinterested) Was the cute guy
a good fighter?
Kei : He was great! If I'm not mistaken, he could do the
Hadoken too...
Sakura's eyes widened at the mention of Hadoken. Next we see
Sakura sprinting towards the place Kei said she saw the man.
Her ears recall every bit of info Kei told her. "He was
wearing a red gi, and had golden blonde hair. I think he was
fighting Dan-san..."
Sakura : (Thinking to herself) He uses the same techniques
as 'that man'. Then he must know who 'that man' is!
Like, what's his name, where does he live, everything
I want to know about that man. Everything! (Saw
someone across the road) Eh, red gi, blonde hair?
A close up shot appears as Sakura crossed the road. It was
a woman. A kunoichi (female Ninja) to be exact. "A woman?"
said Sakura.
The kunoichi also noticed the schoolgirl in front of her.
(It's Maki, from Final Fight 2 on SuFami/SNES, and soon on
Capcom vs SNK 2 too. She looks the same, except she is using
a tonfa/nightstick).
Maki : So, you're a competitor too? (Notice the pins on
Sakura's left shoulder) Looks like you've won a
lot of fights earlier. You must be a great fighter!
Sakura : Ah, sumimasen (Ah, excuse me)...?(Sakura actually
meant "Can I ask you something?")
Maki : If you want to be excused, fight me first, or just
admit defeat! (Maki thought that Sakura wants to be
excused from the fight)
Sakura : Chigau (No), I just want to ask something. I just
want to know if you've met someone else besides me
that wears this white headband?
Maki : Headband? I used to wear a headband myself.
(A picture of Maki squatting wearing a long coat with
Kanji/Chinese characters on it, holding a katana and
wearing a headband herself, while two others are seen
waist down with the same coat, another one squatting
next to her, but his face was covered by the word
ballons, does anybody know where this picture came
from?)
Sakura : (Looking annoyed) I'm not talking about you.
Maki starts to get annoyed too, since she wanted to fight
first and the schoolgirl isn't even intimidated by her presence.
Sakura also feels a bit down, since she assumed that this is not
the person Kei said she saw earlier.
Maki : (Loses her patience and slashes at Sakura with her tonfa)
Fight me first before resuming your search! (The tonfa
grazed Sakura's band-aid) Don't underestimate me, fight
harder! (She continues slashing)
Sakura : A weapon?
Maki : Why, is it not allowed? Look at that man down there!
Sakura sees a KO'd fighter. From his clothes, Sakura assumed
that he was a Samurai. She then saw a broken katana next to
him. "A katana?" said Sakura and Maki quickly seized the
situation and does a downward slash, and Sakura is forced to
use her hands to block it.
Sakura : (Grimacing from the pain) Ah, ittai, ittai yo! (Oww,
that hurts, that hurts!)
Maki : (Looks puzzled) I hit her hard, and still no broken
bones...
Sakura then turns around and looks concentrated on the fight.
Maki also smiles, as she'd expect a good fight from Sakura.
We then switch back to Dan, whose face is wounded and he's
struggling to stay up.
Ken : Hey, not bad.
Shibazaki : (Behind lamppost) He's still up! I guess we'll
have to re-evaluate his rankings.
Ken : Street Fighting is fun, but Eliza doesn't like me
entering it.
Dan : Eliza?
Ken : My girlfriend.
Dan : Huh. This is men's business, why does a woman has to
interfere?
Ken : Forget that, I'm more interested in your answer to
this question. Why are you copying my moves?
Dan : What? I thought you're the copycat fighter?
Ken : No, you're the monkey!
Dan : No, you are!
Ken and Dan continue their argument/bickering and Shibazaki
then feels weird about the whole situation. Suddenly, Dan
powers up and this forces Ken to put up his guard.
Dan : Idiot! You've raised my anger. Kami-sama (God),
forgive me but I have no choice! At least I don't
have a girlfriend to worry about! (Dan then does the
flashing version of the Kuuryuken)
Shibazaki : Dan's flashing? What is that move?
But then we see Dan's face being punched, as Ken countered
the Kuuryuken with his Shinryuken.
Ken : (Lands from Shinryuken) Well, how does it feel? (Dan
is seen falling onto a car, smashing the roof and
windows)
Shibazaki : Incredible. Just incredible!
Karin : (Appears behind Shibazaki) Fighting Ken Masters...
is a stupid thing to do. (Ken notices someone behind
the lamppost)
Shibazaki : Karin-san!
Karin : Hmmm, I don't know why I'm interested in both you
and Sakura. Maybe because both of you have an
interesting type of martial arts.
Ken : (Discovers the challenger to be a cute girl) Excuse me
for a moment. (Faces a lamppost) I'm sorry, Eliza. If
I'd knew there were challengers like her, I wouldn't
have come. (Karin is puzzled by Ken's actions) But this
girl taunted me only after seeing me fight. If she
wasn't good herself, she would've stayed quiet. I musn't
let anyone know my weakness.
Back to Sakura, who is Hadoken'ing Maki, but Maki's speed
kept her safe from the attacks.
Maki : It would be hard for me to hit you, if you keep doing
that. Very smart, but then you can't hit me too. I would
like to see how long will you last.
Sakura : (Talking to herself) She knows it's pointless to
continue using the Hadoken. I'll have to find another
way.
Maki : (Talking to herself) I must find a way to get inside.
Playing the waiting game is boring! (Sakura stops her
Hadokens) Now's my chance!
Sakura : (Running towards Maki) I know this isn't the best
strategy, but it's better than the previous one!
Maki : You truly are inexperienced in fighting. Iku yo
(Come on)!
Sakura charges towards Maki, who's waiting and slashes when
she reached her. Sakura blocks the tonfa with her arms again.
She is seen grimacing at the pain.
Maki : Bushin-ryuu focuses on one-fighting-against-many. Your
strategy is useless (shows a picture of Guy fighting an
onslaught of street thugs)
Sakura : One-fighting-against-many? (Sakura drops her guard
and Maki punches her)
Maki : (Jumps towards Sakura) Actually, the real reason you
will lose is because you lack experience! I only need
one attack to defeat you! (She does a downward strike
using her tonfas)
SMACKK!!!
Sakura : (Still standing, blocking the attack with her
wristguard) Thank you for your advice. When you
attacked me, you left your legs open for attack.
Thus, your legs are your downfall!
Maki : (A bit surprised that Sakura managed to defeat her
attack) Wrong! Bushin-ryuu is not like what you think!
(Does a kick to counter)
Sakura : Really? Iku wa, yo! (Does her Haru Ichiban, which
hits Maki clean)
Sakura then finishes the Haru Ichiban (the standing RH),
expecting Maki to be defeated, but she only see Maki smiling.
"Still smiling?" and stands up straight, but Maki is nowhere
in sight.
Maki : (Only her voice is heard, her pin spinning on the ground)
Looks like I was careless. You are a fast learner, which
surprises me. But you cannot rely only on this to succeed.
What you need is more experience. You must accept all
forms of challenges. Then we'll have a rematch!
Sakura : Yes, I won't lose! I'll be stronger next time! (To
herself) Then to face 'him'!
We then switch back to Ken, who is readjusting his shoulder.
"Damn, this girl is good. My shoulder hurts!"
Shibazaki : Karin-san! (Karin is on the ground, obviously
lost her match)
Ken : Miss, can I ask you a question? Did you meet a competitor
wearing a white headband? (Karin and Shibazaki is
surprised by this) I have a feeling that he's here.
(We see Sakura looking at the sky)
Next we see a sequence of pictures, first Karin. She is wearing
a winter coat, over an open-midriff T-shirt and jeans). The
words are "Karin Kanzuki. Heiress of the Kanzuki Zainbatsu. The
competition has reached it's climax. She was once defeated by
Sakura (seen as her SFZ2/SFZ3 version), and she organized this
tournament to stage her rematch. Now there are only 8 people
left in the tournament!" Then we see a small clinic, where the
competitors are having treatment for their wounds.
Guy 1 : Blonde hair and red gi? It must be Ken Masters! I didn't
think he'd participate in this tournament. He should win
easily!
Guy 2 : I think I saw him fighting a guy in a pink gi.
Sakura : (A bandage on her wrist) Pink gi? It must be Dan-san!
Where are they now?
Guy 1 : I last saw him behind the Capcom building...
Sakura : (Seen already running) Arigato gozaimasu!
American Street Fighting Champion, Ken Masters. The champion
with three trademark moves. Even though it's only rumors, but
Sakura is positive that he knows 'that man's' identity. Sakura
has grown up. She can feel the similarities between him and
'that man'. Especially with her experience and Street Fighting.
She is no longer a 15 year-old! Suddenly...
A guy said "Stop right there! This city is big. To track you
down is hard enough".
Sakura : The Kawasaki (another unclear translation) gang from
Setagaya!
(Note that each has their own names, but they weren't even
translated, so I'll just have to provide descriptions. If
anyone knows the exact names, please help out. The first guy
looks like Hyo from Shiritsu Justice Gakuen/Rival Schools,
another looks like Iori except his left eye is scarred,
another looks like Goro, and the last one has long hair and
uses a Chinese folding fan).
Fan : One of our informers told me you've beaten one of our
gang member.
Hyo : Looks like we'll have to solve that problem.
Iori : Choose either one-on-one or Battle Royale!
Goro : Quickly!
Sakura : Neither! I have important business.
Fan : (Unfolds his fan) Both we and you are competitors. Why
won't you fight, Street Fighter?
Iori : Looks like she finally understood.
Hyo : Let's begin now!
Sakura realises she has no choice and starts the battle. She
does a Shoouken and several uppercuts. While this is happenning
the members are all tossed up like in a game of volleyball, with
words like 'Serve' and 'Receive' are shown, as Sakura does a
massive juggle combo. The gang members realized their mistake
and cursed their luck. Sakura then does a 'Toss' (her standing
Fierce) and jumps, doing her Sakura Otoshi/jumping Fierce
('Attack'). "This is the Volleyball Attack!" "Winner is Sakura!"
At an office building...
Male Staff : (Holding a volleyball) Come on, Kasugano, join us
this time!
Oto-san : (Packing his briefcase) Sorry, but I have to go
home to have dinner with my family.
Female Staff : Don't you live in Setagaya, Kasugano-san? The
police said that there is a traffic congestion
there.
Male Staff : I heard the area's been closed off from vehicles
for a special occasion. Rich people, they can do
anything they wish with their money!
Oto-san : Near my house?
We return to Ken, who just finished another opponent.
Dan : (Waiting for Sakura to arrive) What took you so long?
I'm bored from your fight.
Ken : (Talks to himself) He can still complain even though I
whupped him up. (To Dan) I like to do it in style, so
people will remember me.
Shibazaki : (Inside Rolls) Karin-san, she's right on time.
Karin : (Wearing a tight turtleneck sweater) What's the status?
Shibazaki : She's heading this way, but there's an obstacle in
her path.
Karin : People like this are no problem to her.
Dan : Just a few more minutes!
Then we see Sakura punching a guy, who lands on the Rolls while
Ken notices. "Huh?"
Dan : She's here?
Karin : Yes!
Ken : Someone's running. Light footsteps. A girl.
And now there's TWO. Sakura arrives, and she mimics her entry
pose (running from the opposite side, screeching to a halt).
The final match, and Nakahira shows mug shots of everyone.
Sakura, Ken, Dan and Karin. The area is quiet. Then...
Sakura : Err, Nihongo wa wakarimasuka? Anata no Ken Masters desu ka?
(Err, do you speak Japanese? Are you Ken Masters?)
Ken : Uhh, hai! (Uhh, yes!) (Both then turn their backs to each
other, surprising Dan and Karin)
Dan : Turned around?
Karin :What are they doing?
Sakura : (Whispering to herself) My heart is beating faster.
I just want to ask him about 'that man'.
Ken : How come she resembles 'him' so much? I didn't know
'he' had a kid sister. Maybe 'his' daughter? It
couldn't be!
Sakura : What to do? Calm down, Sakura! (A picture of
you-know-who appears) Ahh! What would 'he' do
in this situation? (Takes a deep breathe) Of
course. (Turns around and talks to Ken) Right
now there's only one thing to do. Ken Masters,
I'm your Street Fighter opponent. Let's fight!
Ken : (Rubs his head) If you say so. (Smiles) Ikuzou!
Fight your very best!
Sakura : I won't let you down.
Their eyes show determination, and "HADOKEN!", a mini-explosion
is seen over the neighborhood. Meanwhile Oto-san just reached
a corner, when he saw a lamppost had fallen to the ground. Then
he sees his house's rooftiles on the ground.
Oto-san : My house. Damaged. What has happened here? What about
my family? My wife? Sakura-chan and Tsukushi-kun? I'll
protect you all! (A family picture is shown, Sakura
for once is not wearing her sailor fuku, but Tsukushi
is playing a Game Boy)
Then he sees Sakura landing on the wall next to him. "Sakura?"
but she doesn't notice her father and instead does a Shunpuu
kyaku to Ken.
Ken : (Blocking the Shunpuu kyaku) This is a poor imitation!
Too bad. Not enough power.
Sakura : He's not even flinching! (Changes tactics and does
her Flower kick)
Ken : Not bad, but still too childish. (Counters with a
Shoryuken)
Karin : She's hit!
Dan : But not enough power to KO her!
Sakura does the recovery roll (qcd + p in SFZ2, 2K in SFZ3)
and Oto-san asks her again, but she still doesn't notice him.
Ken : (Blocking more attacks from Sakura) She's putting on the
pressure, not stopping the attacks. This is just like
'him'. (Sees Sakura readying her Hadoken) Ahh! Too slow!
(Major counters with a standing Forward)
Sakura : No true weaknesses. He's really great! But I won't give
up. Ken and 'that man' didn't become great fighters in
just one day. (Readies another Hadoken)
Ken : Are you finished? Didn't I tell you, you're techniques are
inferior! (Does another standing Forward anticipating a
Hadoken)
But then a bright flash is seen. The Hadoken was just a diversion!
Karin and Dan realised this, and Oto-san just stand there looking
amazed. Sakura jumps up and flashes (ala Oricom/Custom Combo).
Ken : Up there! Can she withstand a Shinryuken?
Sakura : I hoped that before I face 'him', I'd face someone really
great. Now I'm satisfied!
As she descends from the Oricom/CC flash, she does a Roundhouse
(the stomp), a low Strong into a Shunpu kyaku, and keeps doing
the Shunpuu kyaku, and finally a Shoouken, all hitting Ken clean.
"I win?" whispered Sakura.
As a sequence of pictures show Ken coming down and rolling
(qcd+P in SFZ2 or 2K in SFZ3) pics of Karin, Dan, and Oto-san
all looking surprised at the combatants.
Sakura : (To herself) Is it true that I just beat Street Fighting
Champion, Ken Masters? (Ken then stops near a wall, and
blood is trickling from his face, but still smiling) Ahh,
he's still up! I just beat him. No one can withstand those
attacks! Why is he still smiling? WHY?
Both then lunge towards their opponents, knowing that this is the
decisive attack. Sakura does her Shoouken, but Ken's Shoryuken is
just too perfect for her to beat. She lost....
Later, at the Kasugano's, Sakura just regained conciousness.
Oka-san : (Shutting the windows) Oh, you're awake?
Sakura : (Lying in bed) Oka-san? (To herself) I remembered (She
saw the last thing before she lost conciousness, Ken's
fist beating hers and taking her out cold), I've lost!
(Pulls her bedsheets over her head)
Oka-san : Go downstairs and help out in the kitchen. There's
plenty of guests tonight.
Sakura : Guests?
Sakura then goes down and notices a lot of noise. Then she sees
her family, Karin, Shibazaki, Dan and Ken Masters on the dining
table, lots of food on the table.
Oto-san : (Looking rather cheerful) Oh, she's awake. Come, join
us!
Sakura : (To herself) Ken? Why is he here? (To Oto-san) Err, I
have to help Oka-san at the kitchen...
Oto-san : Street Fighting Champion and Kanzuki-sama is here,
you should entertain them.
Dan : (Wearing a sweater) Oji-san (Uncle)! Why didn't you include
my name?
Oto-san : (Looking stern) Who are you, anyway?
Shibazaki : (Rises and goes to Sakura) Don't worry, I'll help
Mrs. Kasugano. Enjoy the feast.
Next we see Shibazaki shredding cabbage skillfully like a chef,
and Oka-san complements his work.
Oka-san : (To Shibazaki) I used to worry about Sakura when she
was injured, but now I'm not worried anymore. (Everyone
was shown listening to Ken's Street Fighting stories)
Shibazaki : There's nothing to worry anymore, it's all over.
Oto-san : (Peaked through the door) Is everything ready?
Oka-san : (Smiling) Oh, we're ready.
Karin : (Rises up) Now I'll present the trophies. Does anyone
object? (Karin is wearing a sleeveless shirt over her
skirt, and a pearl necklace)
We next see the trophy, in the shape of a clenched fist. Next we
see both Ken and Sakura holding their trophies looking shy (both
holding a similar trophy), Karin behind them smiling. (Ken is
wearing a long-sleeve jersey, and Sakura's wearing a T-shirt over
her school skirt). We then see Tsukushi playing SuFami Street
Fighter II with Ken.
Tsukushi : You're good!
Ken : Nothing to it!
Dan : (Obviously pissed at either of them for not letting him play)
Come on, be reasonable!
Oka-san : (Still talking to Shibazaki) They don't look like bad
people (referring to Dan and Ken). As long as you
people are with my Sakura, I don't have to worry again.
Then we see mug shots (again) of the main cast. Ken having fun,
Dan still looking PO'ed, Karin looking demure, Sakura shyly
smiles, and Oto-san drinking from a beeercan.
Later still, outside the house...
Ken : Thank you, Mrs. Kasugano!
Oto-san : Don't forget to visit us again when you're in Japan!
Ken : OK! (Waving his hands goodbye from the Rolls's window)
Oto-san : (Smiling proudly) My workmates will surely respect me!
Sakura : (Tears forming in her eyes) Oto-san... gomennasai....
For not telling you about the Street Fighting. (Wipes
tears off cheeks)
Oto-san : (Looks angry, but later sighs) Actually, I was there
when you were fighting Ken, only you didn't realise it.
(Sakura looks up) Street Fighting... is a dangerous
activity. I should've barred you against entering such
an activity after knowing you had entered it.
(Long pause) But, since you've put up so much effort
in it, as your parents, we have no reasons not to let
you continue. (Both then hug each other)
Meanwhile, inside the Rolls Royce, Ken is seen clutching his
chest in pain.
Dan : Useless! You've broken three rib bones, and still want
to show off! Is this the American Street Fighting
Champion?
Ken : Ha ha ha, she has many similarities with 'that man'.
That's why I can't lose...
Dan : And that's why this happened... (Thinking of Sakura,
smiling) Hope she succeeds someday!
We then see a screen, showing Guile being Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku'd
by Ryu. Tsukushi is still playing Street Fighter II when Oto-san
and Sakura came inside.
Tsukushi : I still can't beat him!
Oto-san : Tsukushi, stop playing and go take a shower!
Tsukushi : Just a bit more. Oh, ne-chan, Ken-san said he wanted to
have a race with you.
Sakura : A race?
Tsukushi : A race to see who can defeat a man called Ryu.
Oto-san : Ryu?
Sakura : (Smiles) RYU!
Ken : (Still inside RR, still clutching his chest) Japan as the
first step, whoever defeats Ryu first is the winner!
Onwards! The race to defeat Ryu!
EPILOGUE
A picture of Karin is shown, with the words
Ganbatte, Karin-san!
and her vital stats. Here they are :
Name Karin Kanzuki
DOB 15th September 197x
Blood type B
Height 162 cm (roughly 5'5")
Weight 48 kgs (I dunno?)
Anyone with a map of Tokyo can look it up. In the 23rd prefecture,
is a place called Kanzuki. It's 80 squre kilometers in size. Has
steep hills, a raging river, and yet the life surrounding it
hasn't destroyed the natural flora and fauna. (This place may
or may not exist. As the description is written, aerial shots of
the place is shown). The panel shows a giant gate, a man standing
on top and Karin in front of the gate.
Daigenjuurou : We are the winners in everything! Yet you lost at
the Street Fighting tournament! If you want to prove
your worthiness as a Kanzuki, come inside!
Karin : (Feeling rather guilty) Oto-sama, you don't have to
shout.
Daigenjuurou : (The gate opens) This is the only ground route to the
house. Since generations ago, this route has a special
significance to the Kanzukis. You must pass three
tests before being called a Kanzuki. You'll face the
King of the Skies, King of the Waters and King of
the Land! (Sees Karin smiling cockyly, and thinks
to himself) Oh, the arrogant smile. She does have
Kanzuki blood running through her veins.
The first test : The Sky Door! It's actually a single rope
run across a valley. To pass, you must tiptoe to the other
side.
Karin : (Walks confidently on the tightrope) Oh, how easy.
I was expecting something harder! (Realises something
approaching, and a giant eagle slashes at her)
Daigenjuurou : Ha ha ha! Only a piece of rope, and an eagle
attacking! Can you pass this test, Karin?
Karin : (Her wrists have slash marks on them) In this
situation there's only one thing to do. (She sees
the eagle swooping down for another attack, and she
jumps of the ropes, as the eagle missed, grabbed
the rope with her hands and use the elasticity to
add force to her kick aimed at the eagle. As she does
this, she recalled how Sakura Shoouken'd her. She
passed the first test, and crosses the valley)
Daigenjuurou : Next is the second test. The Water Door!
(A waterfall) In the raging waters, leg speed is
useless.
Karin : Where is the King of the Waters?
Suddenly a grizzly bear lunges towards Karin from the base of
the waterfall.
Daigenjuurou : (Standing on top of the waterfall) Inside the
waterfall is a grizzly bear. If you are slashed by
it's claw, you are bound to get wounded. Can you
pass this test, Karin?
Karin : Hmmph, no challenge at all, when compared to Ken Masters'
Shoryuken! (She recalled how Ken defeated her, and smashes
the grizzly's skull using a head and knee bash) Huh,
defeating bears are a necessity in a Street Fighter's
training. Or have you forgot, Oto-sama?
Daigenjuurou : Good, this is taunting by a Kanzuki. But there is
still the final test, the Safari Door! A match
against the King of the Land, the majestic lion!
It's speed is unmatchable!
Karin : (Sees the lion) Oh, the king of the animals. (Stares
at the lion, and suddenly the lion becomes as domestic
as a housecat, Karin petting it's mane)
Daigenjuurou : An animal like this can be tamed by Karin? What did
she do? (His cellphone rings, and he answers it)
What? Are you sure? (To Karin) How dare you!
Karin : (Smiling) Now I have 80% control in the Zaibatsu. I
don't know about the past, but I think the tester
should also be tested.
Daigenjuurou : (Looks a bit worried) Oh, economy is not important,
power is. I'll train you some more!
Karin : Then I'll be waiting. (Leaves the Safari Door)
Daigenjuurou : Where are you going?
Karin : When Sakura first defeated me, I understood one thing,
Rulers are always lonely, so I want to go out of this
place and explore the world.
Daigenjuurou : (To himself, somewhat proud) She's grown up.
Later...
Dan : Don't worry, I'm right behind you to defeat Sakura. But...
you can't treat me like this!
Dan is eating instant bowl noodles beside his camp, while Karin
is having tea on the patio of her summer house. Seems Karin
is using Dan as her teacher, but as usual Dan is shortchanged.
Oh yeah, there is a Print Club-style picture at the back, which
shows the whole cast of Sakura Ganbaru! Notable are Tsukushi,
who is still playing Game Boy while Ken is coaching him, Kei
looking worried at Dan, who is (yep) taunting and Maki punching
him in the face, fed up with his attitude. The rest, Oto-san,
Oka-san, Sakura and Karin are just smiling.
