The Strongest Pugilist in History

[FEMALE ANNOUNCER]
Winner!
Rick Gladiatol!
[crowd cheering]
[MALE SPECTATOR 1]
He actually took down Geith!
[MALE SPECTATOR 2]
That old man's got moves!
[ANGELICA]
Rick!
You did it!
I can't thank you enough!
It's not like
I've done anything
that's worth your thanks!
If I'm gonna fight,
I'll always fight to win!
[chuckles]
I'll make your effort
feel worth it!
I'll actually reach that level
in the next year!
And then,
watch out, because I'll catch
up to you too!
[chuckles softly]
[FEMALE ANNOUNCER] Everyone,
give it up for Rick Gladiatol!
Let's hear those hands!
[crowd applauding]
[ANGELICA] You seem calm,
all things considered.
Because I am.
Although I don't know why.
But if I had to guess,
perhaps I've always
wanted to see someone
who can bring Geith down a peg.
[ANGELICA]
Why would you want that?
[SNAPE] I have now seen
the man denied who,
with nothing but innate talent,
was able to utterly
shatter my life as a pugilist.
It is true
I've lost quite a lot today,
and yet,
I've still gained much.
Are these more
adult problems, like you said?
Looks like it.
Grown-ups deal
with all kinds of crap.
Though now,
you won't be my wife.
How unfortunate.
It's not "unfortunate"
if you're asking me.
Without enough money to fulfill
your end of the contract,
it's like the betrothal
never happened.
I'm sorry you don't get to
enjoy all the perks
of nobility.
Must be tragic for you!
That it is.
Would that
I could welcome a lady
as lovely as you into my life,
and into my heart.
I must say,
I was looking forward to it.
[gasps]
[SNAPE]
Yes, it's tragic.

How are you feeling?
[KELVIN] Couldn't feel
any better if I tried.
- I've never known a pugilist
half as good as you. -Huh?!
You gettin' sappy on me?
Did you eat something funny?
Don't worry about anything.
Just give it your all.
Hmm.

[FEMALE ANNOUNCER]
We're back to our semi-finals
with the second match!
The man who wins
with a single blow,
Broughston Ashorc!
Versus the three-time champion,
Kelvin Wolwolf!
[crowd cheering]
This is the first time
they've gotten this loud!
He's got a great reputation!
I'm glad you're back in time.
[KELVIN] This guy
is clearly something else.
I don't see
a single opening to attack!

[CROWD]
Oh!
This is what I need!
There's no question
you're the strongest opponent
I've ever run into
in all my years!
That is a great honor.
[thuds]
[both gasp]
[Geith growling]
[roaring]
This again?
[grunts]
[stomps]
[roars]
[all screaming]
Geith, no!
It's the Dragon Ricorgen.
His blood must
be running rampant!
[screaming]
[roaring]
[KELVIN]
You kiddin' me?
Did you just not notice
we're in the middle
of a match here?
[growls]
[thuds]
[roars]
Wow.
I figured you were a small fry,
but not bad.
And yet!
[groans]
[thuds]
You shouldn't interrupt a fight
between real men.
[ANGELICA] He knocked Geith out
with one punch?
I was under the impression
Geith was sitting
at the top of A-rank.
Yes. Which means
there's only one conclusion
to be drawn
about the champion here.
We're dealing with an S-rank.
[FEMALE ANNOUNCER]
Attention!
Our deepest apologies!
This incident has caused
a number of injuries!
To prioritize
immediate treatment
our team has decided
to postpone today's match
until first thing tomorrow!
[gasps]
Well, yeah.
Fine.
Even though I do feel like
things were going my way.
Oh, were they?
I thought I saw
uncertainty in your strikes.
[BROUGHSTON]
Hmm.
Remember,
the only reason we're here
is for the Six Jewels.
Just keep your eyes
on the prize.
Nothing else really matters
besides Broughsy
or Ricky coming in first!
[chomps]
[munches]
Speaking of Rick,
did he not want to eat?
He said he felt like
taking a light jog.
He's gone to Claristia.
A "light jog?"
That's 700 kilometers.
Yes. Given when he left,
he should be
nearing the kingdom's border.
[ANGELICA] Sure.
Why would I be surprised?
[grunts]
[pants]
Uh.
Huh?
[RICK]
What a perfect curve.
♪
It reminds me of Reanette.
[rumbling]
Getting some training in?
Wasn't trying to startle you.
It's hard not to notice
all that noise.
You found me?
Bummer. This has always been
my secret spot
to get away from everyone else.
[chuckles nervously]
The match is tomorrow, though.
Aren't you worried
about overworking yourself?
[KELVIN] I needed to vent
some of that energy.
And it looks like
a new sparring buddy
just wandered into my space!
[Rick screams]
You don't mind, do ya?
Nah, I'm always happy to help!
- [grunts] -That must've
been his Future Scenting.
Nice!
Let's try the usual!
[screaming]
[KELVIN]
He's incredibly fast!
Well, color me confused.
If you can dodge my punch,
why did you take
so many direct hits
back at the tournament?
- I think I know.
- What?
Was your nose a little stuffy?
Way off!
But you are on to something.
Considering how strong you are,
I'm sure you get it.
[KELVIN]
I spent my youth in the slums.
Fighting was the best way
to pass the time.
But at a certain point,
those "fights" became
one-sided beatdowns.
Things started to look up
when I came to Heractopia.
[thuds]
[MALE ANNOUNCER]
Taking the 107th tournament.
The new champion
Kelvin Wolwolf has been born!
- [crowd cheering]
- [KELVIN] This sucks.
I'm just winning
over and over again.
[DANIEL]
Mm-hmm.
[thuds]
[MALE ANNOUNCER]
Taking the 108th tournament.
Kelvin Wolwolf goes
undefeated two years in a row!
What's more,
not a single combatant
managed to last a minute
before he knocked them out!
[KELVIN] It's happening
all over again here.
But it's okay.
As long as it makes him happy,
then I can't complain too much.
Even with my most
intense fights in the arena,
I couldn't feel a rush anymore.
Getting stronger was
the only joy I had left,
so I threw my heart
into training.
[footsteps approaching]
[DANIEL]
You notice?
The crowds at the matches
are getting worse.
[CLERK]
Well, yeah.
Every match has been
decided in a single blow.
Tough to stay interested.
[DANIEL] And what exactly
are you getting at, huh?
You're not suggesting that
Kelvin throw some fights,
are you?
[CLERK]
No! I wouldn't
say that out loud,
but we need to be practical.
If the public feels like
they know
how the fights will go,
they'll stop attending.
[CLERK] Our gym won't
survive if that happens!
[DANIEL]
If that's how it's gotta be,
then that's how it's gotta be!
[MALE ANNOUNCER]
The 109th
King of Fists tournament's
grand finale!
[crowd cheering]
[KELVIN]
I don't need to stay champion
if it's gonna
cause problems for him, but
[gasps]
[KELVIN] He's so slow.
I could still dodge it.
No, I can't.
I'm supposed to
let this one hit me.
Watch out!
[thuds]
[MALE ANNOUNCER]
Whoa! What's this?
Kelvin Wolwolf has
been knocked down!
[KELVIN]
The crowd's having fun.
Good.
This is for the best.
[MALE ANNOUNCER]
The king has fallen!
The undefeated champion
loses in an upset!
[KELVIN]
And I kept going from there.
Throwing in some bad days
with the good.
I made sure
to keep the crowd interested
but still took the title
three times in a row.
Which brings me here.
That's why it feels like
I'm not going all out.
If I wanna draw a bigger crowd,
I gotta make the matches look
closer than they are.
That's how I can
keep the gym afloat.
I'm sure this whole thing
sounds ridiculous
to an outsider, though.
Uhh.
Guess, you super-strong types
have it rough.
Huh?
Why would you need to guess?
[RICK]
Well
you should consider
a different approach
when you're up against
Broughston tomorrow.
Like, for your own good.
[KELVIN] C'mon.
Were you even listening to me?
Anyway,
sounds like you're fine!
See ya!

Thank you for your patience!
We're 'bout ready to resume,

defensive magic has been
cast over the spectators!
Please enjoy.
You may watch the fight

So, we get a fresh start!
Let's have fun.
And now, combatants, fight!

Let's go!
Rolling Fang punch!
[grunts]
♪
He rotated his arm
to strengthen the blow!
That sort of attack's
hard to block!
[RICK] If it can knock
Broughston's hand away,
it must be incredible!
An opening!
Quick, dodge!
[Kelvin grunts]
[rumbling]
[chuckle softly]
You're a real beast.
[BROUGHSTON] Would that
I could say the same,
but you are unchanged.
[grunts]
[BROUGHSTON]
Your form is lacking,
just like yesterday.
[KELVIN] The human
say something to you?
[BROUGHSTON]
Not at all,
but I've realized
something about you.
If I'm right,
you limit the strength
you use in your bouts,
giving the crowd
further entertainment
with a tense fight.
I can't deny,
you hit the nail on the head.
What's that?
I can't hear a thing.
You're the first in a while
who could push me,
but it's too late.
They'll know I deceived them
if I start fighting for real.
[BROUGHSTON] I understand,
at least the gist.
I'm a pro
who's lying to his fans.
Doesn't that make you
sick to hear?
No.
You are simply
putting the spectators' needs
ahead of your own.
As all pros should,
one might say.
Though it is sad
I will not fight you
at your full capacity.
Sorry, man.
I appreciate
your understanding.
As such,
I will answer you
with appropriate strength.
I'm limiting myself
to two fingers
for the rest of the fight.
[KELVIN]
Oh, really?
[BROUGHSTON]
And I swear to not move
one step
from where I stand now.
That should allow us to have
a reasonably fair match.
[chuckles]
Well, not like I have
the right to tell you
to stop messing around.
You've got a deal!
♪
[KELVIN]
He's actually blocking!
[screams]
Rolling Fang!
What?
[grunts]
[groans]
♪
[KELVIN]
He's pressuring me just enough
to entertain the crowd!
What's wrong?
Broughsy's starting
to fight all weird!
It's nothing.
Pretty sure
he's trying to be clever.
♪
[CROWD]
Kelvin! Kelvin!
[KELVIN]
Wouldn't it be fun
if we could
really lean into it?
But I don't have the luxury
to indulge in a real fight
against him.
If only
There's so many things
I wish I could test out
against someone like him!
Cut the crap!
[gasps]
Huh?
You think I can't see through
you after all these years?
You've been holding back
in your fights
and playing us all for fools!
Even with one eye,
it's plain to see!
What don't you get about this?
Have you forgotten
why you're fighting?
But, sir.
What about you?
[DANIEL]
So this is for me?
My dream is to train
the strongest pugilist
in history!
I've staked my whole life
on seeing it come true!
On you!
Hear me?
I want you to become
the strongest, Kelvin Wolwolf!
♪
Are you sure?
If I do this, it'll be over.
My dream lines up perfectly
with what you already
want to do.
You need to quit holding back
and follow your own dream too!
[chuckle softly]
You've gotta be the worst
businessman that I know.
But fine
[smacks]
I'll do exactly what
I've wanted from the start!
[rustles]
This is bad.
I'm about to lose control!
I'm so happy
I can finally fight for real!
Then, are we ready
to cast aside the facade?
Yeah!
I'm sorry ya had to wait!
From here on, you're gonna
get everything I've got!
[stomps]
[screams]
[both gasp]
Looks like five fingers to me!
Slipping up already?
[explosion]
No. I am merely answering you
with appropriate strength.
[grunting]
Again, Rolling Fang!
Left yourself open!
[thuds]
Iron Body!
[thuds]
[rumbling]
Ah, excellent technique.
You're the man.
You know that?
Did something change just now?
You can't even compare this
to any fight before.
Could he always
fight like that?
[MALE SPECTATOR 1] Does that
mean he's been slacking on us?
[MALE SPECTATOR 2]
That is how a champion
- is supposed to behave!
- [MALE SPECTATOR 3] Oh, how
the mighty have fallen.
[KELVIN] We've hit
the point of no return.
Only way left is forward!
Surge,
O ye ruined fires of justice.
Burn the dam
to empower thine ember!
Level-Five Nature Magic.
Flame Wave!
Most dog people struggle
to use any nature magic,
no matter how low the level!
It can takes years
to get to the point
where those limits
don't matter anymore!
His perfect physique,
his natural talent,
and the technique
he's honed with practice!
The two of them have
one thing in common.
They're real prodigies!
[thuds]
[fire roaring]
[indistinct chatter]
How did I not know Kelvin could
use magic like that?
[DANIEL]
I had no idea either.
[fire roaring]
[fire crackling]

[KELVIN]
Flickering Feet!
Forceful Fist!
Take hold, O woodland, green!
Lure travelers to your depths.
Listen to the pulse

Level-Seven Nature Magic
Forest Rope!
[grunts]
He's seriously earned
the name "champion."
[RICK]
Oh, good grief. This sucks!
Huh?
[KELVIN]
Throw thine lance
sacred messenger
of good fortune.
Pierce the earth
defiled by mankind.
Carve that sorrow
immutably into the land!
Wow, that one's good!
- Pretty strong!
- Quite.
Level-Eight
Nature Composed Magic.
Wait, level-eight?
[gasps]
- Hold on.
- [GARRON] Is that a meteor?
[KELVIN]
Angel's Tear!
[MALE CIVILIAN 1]
Are you kidding?
[MALE CIVILIAN 2]
What's happening in there?
Can we even
run away from it?
[indistinct chatter]
No.
This sucks!
This is legitimately
worst case scenario!
I grant you, it's shocking,
but I don't understand
why this would scare you
of all people!
In what world
would I not be terrified?
The champion is much stronger
than I had imagined!
And that means,
knowing Broughston,
he won't be able to hold back!
[gasps]
[BROUGHSTON]
Yes.
You should be
strong enough to survive.
[stomps]
[rumbling]
[grunts]
Uh?
[Broughston screams]
[explodes]
[ALL]
Uhh.
That spell was
cast at level-eight
and it's weaker than his fist?
[BROUGHSTON] I acknowledge
your conviction to fight
until you've used
every drop of your strength.
Your drive has touched me.
So out of respect,
I shall answer
with my own convictions.
[RICK]
He did it.
That's a quarter thumbs-up!
[ANGELICA] Is that supposed
to mean something?
[REANETTE] It's a tradition
seen in battles between orcs.
A promise to abandon
all defense
and simply trade blows.
So now
Broughston's only gonna
focus on his offense.
[stomps]
And who knows what kind
of destruction he'll cause?
[stomps]
[KELVIN]
What's happening?
I've never felt
this way before.
Could this be
fear?
[stomps]
[Kelvin grunts]
[KELVIN] He's too fast
for me to figure out
what he's gonna do!
[groans]
[groans]
Even though he missed,
the shockwave still hit Kelvin
with such force?
This is beyond insane.
Hold on, is Broughston
Hey, don't blank out now!
[stomping]
[Kelvin panting]
[KELVIN]
Aw, crap.
[screams]
Level-Seven
Nature Composed Magic.
Flame Sword!
Storm Javelin!
Lightning Axe!
[KELVIN] C'mon.
He hasn't even blinked!
[panting]
He's gotta be
running low on magic.
I'd think so, after casting
that many high-level spells!
♪
[Kelvin groans]
[cracking]
[screams]
[Kelvin groaning]
[groans]
Is he out?
No.
He used Flickering Feet,
guard magic,
and Flowing Strikes
to soften up the impact.
How'd you see any of that?
[Kelvin coughs]
[spits]
[KELVIN]
It only took one strike
to mess me up pretty bad.
He's even tougher
than I thought.
Anyone else would be
dead right now.
[breathing shakily]
If I gave up,
I could go back home and rest,
but I asked for
a strong opponent,
and I sure found one.
This is it.
This is the feeling I've been
chasing after for years now!
Stand!
Keep going!
I'm up!
I can fight!
[panting]
I'm out of magic,
but my will is still strong!
[Kelvin screams]
Even so, he can't feel good
after taking a hit like that.
[screaming]
[gasps]
[panting]
[KELVIN]
I never knew
there was still this much room
left for me to grow.
[MALE SPECTATOR 3]
Let's go, Kelvin!
[MALE SPECTATOR 4]
Stand up, champion!
- You can't let him win!
- You're not out yet!
[GIRL SPECTATOR 1]
Come on!
We've seen you overcome
way more than this!
[CROWD]
Go, Kelvin! Go, Kelvin!
[KELVIN]
Still?
Even after I've deceived you?
♪
[Kelvin breathing shakily]
[screaming]
You're not done!
[gasps] Listen to them!
They're enthralled!
One more punch!
I can do one more!
If you've got
nothing else left,
then burn your soul for fuel!
Speed of Flickering Feet.
Forceful Fist strength.
The technique of Rolling Fang

Good.
That was well done.
Let me ask you, Kelvin Wolwolf,
was that the last drop?
Huh?!

Yeah.
I had fun, fighting you.
Most I've ever had.
Then to honor you
for a magnificent fight,
I give my sign of respect.
[thuds]
[wind gushing]
We're not done.
He's still got a long road

Taking the 107th tournament.
The new champion
Kelvin Wolwolf has been born!
- [crowd cheering]
- [KELVIN] This sucks.
I'm just winning
over and over again.
[DANIEL]
Mm-hmm.
[thuds]
[MALE ANNOUNCER]
Taking the 108th tournament.
Kelvin Wolwolf goes
undefeated two years in a row!
What's more,
not a single combatant
managed to last a minute
before he knocked them out!
[KELVIN] It's happening
all over again here.
But it's okay.
As long as it makes him happy,
then I can't complain too much.
Even with my most
intense fights in the arena,
I couldn't feel a rush anymore.
Getting stronger was
the only joy I had left,
so I threw my heart
into training.
[footsteps approaching]
[DANIEL]
You notice?
The crowds at the matches
are getting worse.
[CLERK]
Well, yeah.
Every match has been
decided in a single blow.
Tough to stay interested.
[DANIEL] And what exactly
are you getting at, huh?
You're not suggesting that
Kelvin throw some fights,
are you?
[CLERK]
No! I wouldn't
say that out loud,
but we need to be practical.
If the public feels like
they know
how the fights will go,
they'll stop attending.
[CLERK] Our gym won't
survive if that happens!
[DANIEL]
If that's how it's gotta be,
then that's how it's gotta be!
[MALE ANNOUNCER]
The 109th
King of Fists tournament's
grand finale!
[crowd cheering]
[KELVIN]
I don't need to stay champion
if it's gonna
cause problems for him, but
[gasps]
[KELVIN] He's so slow.
I could still dodge it.
No, I can't.
I'm supposed to
let this one hit me.
Watch out!
[thuds]
[MALE ANNOUNCER]
Whoa! What's this?
Kelvin Wolwolf has
been knocked down!
[KELVIN]
The crowd's having fun.
Good.
This is for the best.
[MALE ANNOUNCER]
The king has fallen!
The undefeated champion
loses in an upset!
[KELVIN]
And I kept going from there.
Throwing in some bad days
with the good.
I made sure
to keep the crowd interested
but still took the title
three times in a row.
Which brings me here.
That's why it feels like
I'm not going all out.
If I wanna draw a bigger crowd,
I gotta make the matches look
closer than they are.
That's how I can
keep the gym afloat.
I'm sure this whole thing
sounds ridiculous
to an outsider, though.
Uhh.
Guess, you super-strong types
have it rough.
Huh?
Why would you need to guess?
[RICK]
Well
you should consider
a different approach
when you're up against
Broughston tomorrow.
Like, for your own good.
[KELVIN] C'mon.
Were you even listening to me?
Anyway,
sounds like you're fine!
See ya!

Rolling Fang punch!

He rotated his arm

Quick, dodge!
[Kelvin grunts]

You're a real beast.
[BROUGHSTON] Would that
I could say the same,
but you are unchanged.
[grunts]
[BROUGHSTON]
Your form is lacking,
just like yesterday.
[KELVIN] The human
say something to you?
[BROUGHSTON]
Not at all,
but I've realized
something about you.
If I'm right,
you limit the strength
you use in your bouts,
giving the crowd
further entertainment
with a tense fight.
I can't deny,
you hit the nail on the head.
What's that?
I can't hear a thing.
You're the first in a while
who could push me,
but it's too late.
They'll know I deceived them
if I start fighting for real.
[BROUGHSTON] I understand,
at least the gist.
I'm a pro
who's lying to his fans.
Doesn't that make you
sick to hear?
No.
You are simply
putting the spectators' needs
ahead of your own.
As all pros should,
one might say.
Though it is sad
I will not fight you
at your full capacity.
Sorry, man.
I appreciate
your understanding.
As such,
I will answer you
with appropriate strength.
I'm limiting myself
to two fingers
for the rest of the fight.
[KELVIN]
Oh, really?
[BROUGHSTON]
And I swear to not move
one step
from where I stand now.
That should allow us to have
a reasonably fair match.
[chuckles]
Well, not like I have
the right to tell you
to stop messing around.
You've got a deal!

Kelvin! Kelvin!

Wouldn't it be fun
if we could

But I don't have the luxury

If only
There's so many things
I wish I could test out
against someone like him!
Cut the crap!
[gasps]
Huh?
You think I can't see through
you after all these years?
You've been holding back
in your fights
and playing us all for fools!
Even with one eye,
it's plain to see!
What don't you get about this?
Have you forgotten
why you're fighting?
But, sir.
What about you?
[DANIEL]
So this is for me?
My dream is to train
the strongest pugilist
in history!
I've staked my whole life
on seeing it come true!
On you!
Hear me?
I want you to become
the strongest, Kelvin Wolwolf!

Are you sure?

This is bad.
I'm about to lose control!

Ah, excellent technique.
You're the man.
You know that?
Did something change just now?
You can't even compare this
to any fight before.
Could he always
fight like that?
[MALE SPECTATOR 1] Does that
mean he's been slacking on us?

No.
This sucks!
This is legitimately
worst case scenario!
I grant you, it's shocking,
but I don't understand
why this would scare you

In what world
would I not be terrified?
The champion is much stronger
than I had imagined!

knowing Broughston,
he won't be able to hold back!

Yes.

strong enough to survive.

That spell was
cast at level-eight

[BROUGHSTON] I acknowledge
your conviction to fight
until you've used
every drop of your strength.
Your drive has touched me.
So out of respect,
I shall answer
with my own convictions.
[RICK]
He did it.
That's a quarter thumbs-up!
[ANGELICA] Is that supposed
to mean something?
[REANETTE] It's a tradition
seen in battles between orcs.
A promise to abandon
all defense
and simply trade blows.
So now
Broughston's only gonna
focus on his offense.
[stomps]
And who knows what kind
of destruction he'll cause?

What's happening?
I've never felt
this way before.

How'd you see any of that?

It only took one strike
