Chapter 3: Shimazu Karate vs Ansatsuken
Both Jin and Ryu are taking refuge in the game, Project Justice where it takes place in Aoharu City. Ryu was meditating at the front of the tree while Jin is leaning at the left side having his armed crossed in cross-legged knowing that both were frustrated after they became fugitive glitches in the Game World Station.
"So this is Aoharu City. I didn't touch this place when I started the whole war I made up on the sixth game."
"This is where all the schools who were attacked and kidnapped by a man named Hyo Imawano the officer of Justice High School. It looks like a lot of students are also became fighters against this man." Ryu said telling him.
"How did you know the person was behind those kidnappings?" Jin asked calmly to him.
"Sakura once told me after she helps her childhood friends from other schools who are involved in the kidnapping." Ryu explained. "I've never expect someone from other schools using balls as a weapon to burst their enemies in one swoop."
"Balls...? It's like a basketball or something...?" Jin reacted while raising his brow.
"It is different than that, Jin... a lot of people seem to bestow my style of fighting." Ryu said calmly and both were confronted by Batsu Ichimonji while on his way to Taiyo High School.
"Can't you two shut your mouth already?! You older guys need to take upon schooling, understand?" Batsu shouted on both of them. "My dad would kick your arses with his style of Imawano Ninjutsu."
"Out of respect, you idiot... I'm much older than you are. You can't say those bad stuff over us..." Jin said angrily to Batsu. "Are you man enough to pick on a fight?"
"Boy... you are totally overrated and your hair is not my style. A duckass..." Batsu commented angrily as Jin became infuriated on his comments.
"Don't you dare calling me those stupid comments...? You don't know me very well, do you...? I'm going to smash your face with my fists?"
Jin and Batsu exchanging their blows and Ryu watches them fighting. Batsu uses Crescent Moon Kick at Jin while parries his attacks and countering him with his Demon's Paw knocking him in an instant.
"Man! You're so tough... I won't be beaten by someone like you?" Batsu said gritting his teeth.
"You should be ashamed of yourself, you idiot... My friends won't make any bad comments about me, you're just jealous." Jin said raising his brow in front of him as Batsu stands up while charging himself up to shoot him with his Guts Bullet. Jin smirks to watch as Ryu tells him not to make his move.
"Jin, don't move... That projectile would knock you out that easily."
"Eat this... Kiaidan!" Batsu shoots the Guts Bullet towards both Jin and Ryu as he shoots Hadoken while it deflects in explosion. "Whoa... I've never seen someone knows about the Shimazu-ryuu Karate?"
"You got a full potential in fighting. I'm impressed that you show your moves." Ryu said calmly to Batsu much to Jin's shock.
"I've never seen you interfere in my fight...?"
"What's going on here...?" Hideo Shimazu arrives in the scene to see both and Batsu and he scolds at Batsu. "Batsu, you're suppose to go to school not to fight in the street? Hayato will be very angry to see you like that? Perhaps, he will give you a very corporal punishment...?"
"Mr. Shimazu... I never knew you were here? I thought you tried to help Ms. Minazuki to settle down on your job as a teacher." Batsu said scarily to him while giggling.
"Just don't remind me about Kyoko, Batsu..." Hideo said snubbing at Batsu as he confronts both Jin and Ryu. "I heard you say that this man knows about Shimazu-style Karate. Hmph... It would be a good thing to show how this guy how to fight."
"Jin, you'll watch... This old man seems to challenge me in a fight. But his shoulder pads reminds me of Bison." Ryu said and Jin reluctantly agrees to let him fight Hideo.
"All right, Ryu... go ahead... I don't feel like fighting an old man in glasses. My grandfather is much sharper-minded fighter than he is."
"You think that I'm old huh, you persistant little bastard..." Hideo angrily comments on Jin's behavior and he solely fights Ryu while exchanging their blows.
Hideo shoots Seihaken towards Ryu as he does the same while shooting Hadoken as it explodes.
"Wow... I've never seen someone still knows about our martial arts that was rooted in Ansatsuken. I'm impressed to see that." Ryu smiled calmly at Hideo and Jin was surprised to see them fighting.
"I've never seen Ryu shoots fireballs in a fight. Not like us... who can punch or kicks with a charged aura during hit." Jin mumbled as he looked on his right fist having a red electricity embedded on it.
Ryu and Hideo continues to brawl as Hideo executes his Jicchokken at Ryu as he counters him with his Shoryuken. Ryu was still impressed on Hideo's moves.
"You're an excellent fighter. I've never seen you can counter my moves at the same time." Hideo smirks while fixing his glasses. "I think you might know both of my moves."
Hideo then kicks him with a Shi'nen Kyaku while Ryu counters him using the Tatsumaki Sempukyaku. Batsu was completely shocked to see them using the same movement.
"I can't believe my eyes... both have the same moves, unbelievable..."
"I think the old man's spinning kicks are just focus on the ground." Jin said telling him. "Ryu's spinning kicks are definitely in mid-air."
"What did you say?!"
"Wow... This is the first time to see a ground version of a Tatsumaki Sempukyaku. This is going to be an enjoyable bout." Ryu smiled nicely at Hideo.
"Hehe... You're very impressive... Mr. Karate Man..." Hideo said jokily to Ryu. "Once you get older you might ended up like me is in forties."
"Your speed is closer than mine." Ryu smirked and both continues to fight.
Batsu then saw Jin finally made up his mind to let his friend fight as he started to leave.
"Hey... where do you think you're going? You're going to escape like a coward?" Batsu said angrily to Jin as he coldly tells him.
"I just have to let Ryu fight the old man right here..." Jin said in indifferent manner. "In my case... I should be going off for a while. I have something I must do."
Jin then leaves the scene in which Batsu angrily grins towards him while raising his brow.
"This guy is nothing more than a jerk...? I don't believe this..."
Hideo executes his Shin Jicchokken at Ryu while he does the same countering his move with his Shin Shoryuken. However, Hideo does not given up as he executes his Shimazu-ryuu Seihaken.
"Ariyouse Seihaken!"
"Shinku Hadoken!" Ryu counters the same move as Hideo as both of their moves are on collision. Batsu was completely shock to watch their moves.
"Oh my god... They're on collision and it's much powerful than my Zenkai Kiadan..."
"How do you like that, Mr. Karate Man?! Looks like my Shimazu-style Seihaken would definitely vacuum your powerful wave." Hideo said very confidant to see Ryu to be defeated and Ryu was amused.
"I'm completely amused... you're wave is just like my Shinku Hadoken... I think we need to find out which one of us is going to be knocked down while we are in collision."
With that, Ryu's Shinku Hadoken manages to defeat Hideo's Shimazu Seihaken as Hideo was knocked on the ground in defeat.
"Whoa... yours are much powerful. I'm impressed of you, Mr. Karate Man..." Hideo said complimented on his words and Ryu finally introduces to him.
"Just call me Ryu... your attacks and your style are very closer to my fighting style."
"No way... you're Ryu the legendary street fighter. I can't believe it was you...!" Batsu said shockingly while pointing an index finger at him.
"You're the legendary fighter in Street Fighter fame. So that's why my fighting-style closely resemble to yours." Hideo gasped and forgives him. "Please forgive me for calling you Mr. Karate Man... I'd never expect I fought a man like you who became famous."
"It's alright... This is the first time I've encounter a person who learns Shotokan Karate that closely resembles to my move and we made our fight in an exciting battle." Ryu said calmly to both Hideo and Batsu.
"By the way, Ryu... How did you get here along with that duckbutted jerk friend of yours? Is something wrong?" Batsu asked and Ryu noticed Jin had left during his fight with Hideo.
"Oh no... Jin...? Where did he go?"
"I think he left unnoticed while you and I we clashed in a fight..." Hideo said and tells him. "But I think Batsu and I would help you look for him. You look troubled when you came here..."
"Thanks for your help..." Ryu accepts both to help him find Jin.
Meanwhile, Jin went off alone to do his mission of restraining his anger. He remembers what Kanbei told him until he was very upset.
Kanbei was right... I need to restrain my anger. So that's why I became neutral to others. Maybe I would be ended up in anger management.
Jin then stops walking and he saw a brown haired girl revealed to be Akira who is fixing her bike while working as a bike mechanic during weekends. Jin could not believe that she nearly resembles his relative, Asuka.
I don't believe this... she's looks like Asuka? Uh... maybe I should help her out...?
Akira accidentally drops her screwdriver and Jin picks it up. She was actually shy to see him.
"Is this yours..."
"Yes... that's my screwdriver... Thank you very much..." Akira said thankfully.
"You look very busy fixing your motorcycle. It reminds me that I keep adjusting my motorcycle in my place." Jin said nicely to her and Akira was blushing towards him.
"Really... you're quite strange to say that."
"Uh... no... really... I'm not that strange." Jin said as he turns around and blushing. "My motorcycle is bulkier than yours. I've never wear helmet when I rode it only that I wore sunglasses to make myself cool."
"Wow... really... your motocycle is bigger than mine. I've never seen a rider rides like that." Akira smiled and Jin finally faces her and introduce himself.
"I'm Jin Kazama... pleased to meet you and you are..."
"I'm Akira... Akira Kazama... it's nice to meet you too. I've never seen you shared it with me about motorcycles." Akira said finally introduces to him as Jin was shocked to see her surname is the same as he is.
"No way...? A Kazama...?" Jin gasped to see her surname was the same as his surname and Akira asked him about it.
"Um... you look terrified or something? Is it because of my surname?"
"Uh...no... not really... It reminds me of my relative that my mother told me about." Jin said shyly towards her. "I'm just a fighter who's got into trouble."
Suddenly, her older brother, Daigo Kazama made his way to see his sister, Akira. He became serious to see Jin who considers him strange.
"Akira... is it okay that you cook lunch for me." Daigo said and later confronts Jin. "You seem to be a stranger who wants to befriend my younger sister. Don't tell me that you want to court her, don't you...?"
"You don't understand, I don't court her or anything?" Jin said raising his brow and Akira begs him not to hurt her brother.
"Please, Jin... Don't hurt my brother."
"He's your brother...?"
"My brother is the boss of Gedo High. I befriended his subordinates just to save him from brainwashing. Please don't try to hurt him." Akira pleads Jin not to hurt him and Daigo tells his sister.
"Akira, stay out of this... I want to see how this guy fight. He must be a tough customer."
"All right, you give me no choice. You wanted to challenge in a fight. Fine then... I've never expect someone like you is a gang leader." Jin smirked while readied his stance.
"I used to be the Man of Honor who never fight my opponents unfairly. I need to know what kind of strength that you have." Daigo said as he goes in fighting stance where he stands up and both begins in their fight.
Trivia:
*Hideo and Ryu using their super arts to put their waves in collision is a reference to the game Dragon Ball GT: Final Bout where both are using their special attacks to put them in collision to knock their opponents in offensive damage.
*For the first time, Jin encounters two Kazama siblings in this chapter. Although, Jin is not related to both of them since both sibilings are from Capcom.
*Jin acts similarly to his relative Asuka Kazama but maintains his indifferent behavior towards other people he meets (excluding both Ryu and Akira who he befriended with).
*Ryu is seen to calm in his fight with Hideo before he introduces to both of them.
*Ryu mentions to Jin about his long-time friend Sakura Kasugano is a reference to her debut in Rival Schools: United by Fate as a guest character where she helps her childhood friends, Hinata Wakaba and Natsu Ayuhara in the investigation of unknown attacks and the kidnappings prior to her meeting with him in Street Fighter Alpha 2.
*Hideo mentions of his fellow teachers, Kyoko Minazuki and Hayato Nekketsu to Batsu who are never shown in this chapter. It is also hinted that both Kyoko and Hideo are married.
A/N: It seems that Ryu defeats Hideo in a fight. This time it's going to be a traditional Tekken bout on both Jin and Daigo. Find out in the next chapter.
