The Super Fight Tournament arena lies in smoldering ruins, a graveyard of unconscious fighters. Amidst the debris, Suiryu writhes, his body shattered by Gouketsu’s strike and Bakuzan’s cruelty. Blood mats his tan skin; his legs are broken, his arm snapped. The monstrous Bakuzan, a grotesque fusion of man and beast with black sclera and orange pupils, looms over the fallen martial artist. Suiryu’s voice is a ragged whisper, then a scream, then silence as he begs for a hero who will not come. Tears cut through the grime on his face as he stares into the abyss of despair, clutching at the faintest sliver of hope.
