90)
1: You're really something...
2(2b): I've heard a lot from the guys in town. The guy who started the
"Thug Hunter incident" and beat up a lot of famous people around here...
3(2b): You beat him...and then haven't fought much as of late...but
there's no mistaking it...
4: Izawa Masaki.
5: You're the king!!

91)
1: ...what are you trying to say?
2(2b): Isn't it obvious? No running away this time.
3: I want to fight you!
4: ...what a nuisance...
5: Why? I have the right, don't I? (I'm a top ranker now, you know?)
6: You aren't afraid of a street fight now, are you?
7: You said you "left something in the city" to Kamishiro, didn't you?

92)
1: Until just recently...I was no different than those thugs hanging
around the corner.
2: But now, for some reason...a path has opened before me.
3: But...I feel like I can't just let myself go like this...
4: that I have to cut out a separation between then and now...
5: I just feel that way...
6: I know it's a selfish reason.
7: I'm jealous...
8: What?!
9: But you won't find what you're looking for if you fight with me.
10: I have no right to graduate you from the city now!

93)
1: What...but you--
2: If you heard a lot, then you should already know.
3: The star of this town isn't me.
4: It's Kamishiro Yuu!!
5: Even now, after he was beaten by you...he's at the center of all the
talk.
6: This isn't necessarily sophism...

94)
1: Most of the rumors really have revolved around the "Thug
Hunter"...it's true.
2: Do you know why?
3: "He'll definitely come back!" That's been the story of the Thug Hunter
up until now!!
4: And you should also be feeling it yourself...the Kamishiro back then--

95)
1: He wasn't the real "Thug Hunter"...
2: He will appear before you once more.
3: Well I certainly hope so! It's weird that I can see that...
4: Can you guarantee it?
5: Yes.
6: If he doesn't show up in the next month...then come back.

96)
1: Then I'll take you on.
2: He isn't just trying to run away...
3: His eyes...
4: I'll believe in you, Izawa...
5: Kamishiro...!

97)
1-3: Hah

98)
1-3: hah
4: C'mon!!
5: Hoo
*: When training for normal right straights, the trainer will use his own
right mitt, but for "thrust style straights," Yamazaki is using his left
mitt.
6: Punch repetition in a wide space with a moving opponent.
7: It was his first experience, but Yuu deeply understood the importance
of such an exercise.

99)
1: By suddenly shooting out a right midst the motion,
2: one's range and the precision of one's balance will heighten.
3: This guy...is amazing...
4: He's completely different...!
5: His shifts his weight as if he knows exactly how to take down his
opponent!!
6: When he throws out his right, he slows his back leg and slams his
weight down...
7: the "Late Leg Punch" Yamazaki speaks of--

100)
1: Allows one to swing toward the inside while shifting their weight to
their left leg in the front and add it to their punch.
small: body is open
2: But when punching slightly inside from the front, since the direction
of one's left leg in the front and one's punch is different, it's more
difficult to add the weight.
3: Pushing one's weight toward the front right with the punch will cause
unbalance, but it is possible to slide one's back leg forward and place
the weight on that way!!
4: It has a weak point when used with standard punches, so it's not often
seen,
small: Since the upper body is also slowed from moving forward, distance
can be increased.
5: but it's effective when striking an opponent running to the outside on
the right, or when diving in from the right.
6: Boxing world champions like Tyson and Hagler used this shift quite
often.
7: Because this involves a switch when moving one's leg forward that can
leave the legs together, and because it adds force to one's upper body,
it can be critical if one takes a counter in this state.
8: But Yuu understands this technique, and gradually got better at it.

101)
1: Alright, good. Next!
2: O-okay.
3: I'm going to lightly match your punches.
4: Punches...
5(2b): Don't worry, I won't attack...just put my hands out. You need to
punch out from your movements so that you don't get matched.
6: From my movements...hide the signs...
7: That's right...so bring it! Right, left, combination, whatever.

102)
1: I must be out of my mind...training him like this.
2: No...I know.
3: Watching him evolve like this right before my eyes
4: makes me more and more excited to see what's yet to come.
5: Even more than my own evolution...?
6: No way!

103)
1: Uuu
2: Hey, don't forget your guard.
3: All I did was put my hand out.
4: OK!
5: He matched it up so easily...

104)
1: Move more, look carefully...
2: Move!
3: --Now!!--
4: Uuu
5: Wh-why...?? The punch came so slowly...
6: How can it hit before mine?!

105)
1: !?? ...all I did was take a few...
2: He was barely swinging!
3: My head...
4: I feel light-headed...the punches are working?? ...impossible.
5: Counters.

106)
1: Eh...!? But...
2(2b): Thrusting straight out when someone punches isn't the only counter
there is. That's what most people think, but...they're shallow.
3: When a punch starts, when it ends.
4: When weight is shifted forward. If you match it up--
5: Counters can deal equal damage at the right timing.
6: That's right...all Yamazaki-san was lightly stick his hand out...
7: But it was just like a heavy punch...
8: B...but...

107)
1: Is my form...still super easy to see through?
small: You matched almost all my punches...
2: Yeah, it's not even worth talking about! Utterly transparent.
3: But that's not all.
4: Throwing out a punch right after an opponent throws there gives you
the great danger of being caught up in a double KO.
5: So I can't exactly say this technique is being "used well"...
6: But what if you knew the timing at which your opponent would punch?!
7: You mean you're not matching your punches with mine...?

108)
1: No!! I'm letting you throw your punches!
2: To my timing!!
3: Yamazaki-san...
4: is letting me punch...??
