Despite insisting that he's fine, Ohma ends up collapsing — and recalls a childhood memory. Then, the Kengan Life-or-Death Tournament kicks off again.

Chairman Nogi suddenly calls low-level employee Kazuo Yamashita into a meeting and gives him an unexpected -- and unwanted -- new assignment.

Gladiators and spectators enjoy a night off. Ohma visualizes his matches against formidable opponents -- including his former master, Niko Tokita.

Chairman Nogi refuses to enter Ohma into the Annihilation Tournament, but there's another way for him to qualify -- and he'll need Yamashita's help.

In a tense backroom meeting with all the corporate participants, the tournament brackets are finally decided. Tomorrow, the battles begin.

Unexpectedly, Ohma is thrown into an all-out brawl. Over 100 fighters are locked in a room, but only five can make it into the tournament finals.

While some try to enjoy their time on the luxury liner, others strategize behind the scenes, with one savvy shogi player pulling a surprising move.

For his debut kengan match, Ohma calmly faces Yoshitake Real Estate's Lihito, an arrogant fighter with a superhuman vice-like grip.

Sen Hatsumi faces Takayuki Chiba, mimicker of other fighters' moves. Hajime Hanafusa enters the ring with orders to kill death row inmate Yohei Bando.

All Setsuna Kiryu wants to do is win this match — and the next two matches — so he can face the man he's been dreaming of: Ohma himself.

Kiohzan Takeru looks like he's using MMA moves against “Hell's Angel” Jun Sekibayashi, but his all-out style is how sumo was originally fought.

Ajiro Fisheries' Yoshinari Karo faces Saw Paing Yoroizuka. The fix is in: the match is rigged. But Karo and his harpoon aren't following the script.

Lihito's hot-headed and arrogant, but Motor Head Motors' Gensai Kuroki isn't fazed by his taunts. It's youth versus age and the Kaiwan style.

Takakaze approaches Chairman Nogi with an unexpected proposal. As life returns to normal for everybody else, Yamashita reflects on his time with "The Ashura."

The Kengan Annihilation Tournament kicks off with great fanfare. First up, jujitsu master Cosmo Imai goes up against American brawler Adam Dudley.

Nentendo's Haruo Kohno combines his monstrous size with surprising speed and agility, but riot cop Seishu Akoya's got a secret plan in place.

Destinyland's Masami Nezu takes on Rei Mikazuchi, the scion of an assassin sect. Ren Nikaido's uncanny move against Setsuna Kiryu backfires.

Having survived 45 hanging attempts, death row convict Yohei Bando has a certain physical advantage that he deploys against Sen Hatsumi.

Hayami gives everyone a choice; either join him, or die. When Ohma was a kid in the slums, Niko Tokita trained him the ways of the Niko fighting style.

With Ohma still in his hospital room, Hayami and his men attempt to complete their coup — but there might be a traitor foiling their plans.

Ohma thinks he's got the upper hand, but Jun Sekibayashi quickly reminds him: pro-wrestlers are great actors, and they love to put on a show.

Ohma goes into his first fight of the tournament with confidence, but he struggles against Ryo Inaba's creepy, unorthodox fighting style.

Thai boxer Kaolan Wongsawat fights for his country and sworn liege. Suekichi Kaneda's clearly outmatched, but he's got a cunning and unshakable will.

The second round begins. At a huge size disadvantage, Cosmo Imai discards his signature grappling moves when facing the monolithic Seishu Akoya.

Takeshi Wakatsuki was raised to be the ultimate fighter for Furumi Pharma, but even he's intimidated by his opponent, Julius Reinhold.
