Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple (2006)
S01E13 The Way of the Fight! The Rules of the Real Fight!
Episode Overview
Kenichi finds that none of his strikes seem to faze Shinnosuke. Despite Kenichi's superior strength, his opponent's vast experience puts him at a disadvantage. Miu is forbidden from intervening, as it would hurt Kenichi's pride. In a moment of carelessness, Kenichi is knocked down and on the verge of being seriously injured when Takeda suddenly arrives, delivering a punch to Shinnosuke and rescuing Kenichi, bringing him back to the Ryouzanpaku dojo. Disappointed by his defeat, Kenichi faces criticism from his masters, who worry this loss will lead to more failures. Meanwhile, Niijima spreads a distorted version of the story around the school, making Kenichi a target for delinquents. Ultimately, the masters decide to accept Kenichi as a true disciple of Ryouzanpaku, meaning he must dedicate his life solely to martial arts.
