Sakura wore a white shirt with a blue bow, a short blue skirt, and pair of red tennis shoes.

The two were making their way to the finals taking out opponent after opponent. Most of the opponents seemed to be weaker than what Ken expected. Ken hoped that only two things would happen from this tournament. 1. Their would a worthy opponent in the final round and 2 that his student Sakura was doing well throughout the tournament.

Sakura wasn't having as easy of a time as Ken was. Although Ken trained her well she wasn't as good as Ken was. Sakura did her best with each opponent but wasn't sure how much more she could endure. To her amassment she reached the finals with only one opponent in her way, Pullum Puruna. Pullum Puruna was an Indian princess from India about 22 and had long black hair tied back reaching the end of her spine with Violet eyes. She wore long green pants with a white blouse and a blue jacket. Pullum Puruna was an incredible fighter known throughout the world due to her incredible fighting skills.

His opponent Ryu who had brown spiked hair with red band tied around his head and brown eyes stepped into ring. His attire was similar to that of Ken's except Ryu's was white. The two looked at each other fiercely yet friendly at the same time. Sakura wondered if the two had a history if so what was it. Ryu looked straight at Ken with a smile and said, "Hey Ken.
