KenIchi: The Mightiest Disciple

Kenichi's been called out by a thug in the karate club. He has one week to toughen up, or he's dead meat. Not every weakling gets a chance to change his fortunes, but Kenichi just might.

Kenichi's got less than a week until his fight, and his new masters seem determined to teach him everything in the world besides how to use a fist!

Kenichi's grueling training regimen is making it tough to stand, but the training is about to get even more intense - the masters are ready to show him some new techniques.

Kenichi's ambition impresses even the most skeptical of his masters and he's learning to bring his lessons to life. But across town, a notorious gang of thugs is looking to teach him another kind of lesson!

Kenichi's spirits are pretty low after so many fights. Luckily, the masters have a plan: in order to boost his spirits, the Ryozanpaku back-breakers are going to play match-maker!

Kenichi's life is good at the dojo, especially when Miu cooks dinner. After a grueling day of training, he gets a chance to hear her dreams - and during a rare moment of peace, he helps one come true.

Kenichi finds the serenity of his beloved greenhouse shattered by Ragnarok thugs! The chumps threaten to take Kenichi back to the gang's clubhouse by force, and it gets worse when the punks start eyeing Miu.

Ragnarok's actions are getting way more intense - some of the jerks are even willing to pull knives. Luckily, Kenichi knows real strength is more subtle than a blade, and sometimes one finger is all you need.

The bell is about to ring on Kenichi's biggest fight yet. In this corner: Takeda, a former pro boxer with a mysterious past. It's going to be a slaughter unless Kenichi can pinpoint the pugilist's weakness.

What makes a pro athlete trade his dreams for a life as a Ragnarok goon? Takeda has no problem sharing the tragic tale - just like he's got no problem pummeling Kenichi in a rooftop brawl.

Following Takeda's failure, Ragnarok goes to Plan B: Kill Kenichi. A brawler named Tsuji is dispatched to deal with the kid once and for all. Little do his commanders know, Tsuji has a Plan C of his own creation.

When Kenichi wakes after the fight with Tsuji, he's badly wounded both in body and pride. The masters know it's time to begin a new training regimen: Martial Arts or Death.

The masters want Kenichi to live at the dojo, soaking in the day to day struggle of the fighting life. The idea doesn't strike Kenichi as a good one until Kensei points out a hidden benefit: Sharing a roof with Miu!

When Honoka infiltrates Ryozanpaku to figure out why Kenichi moved away from home, she can't help but cringe as he gets beat down over and over - but she knows her big brother never stays down for long.

The authorities from Miu's school are coming to investigate the rumors they've heard about Ryozanpaku. If she can't prove her living situation to be normal, her entire education is at risk.

The masters are away, so Kenichi and Miu must defend Ryozanpaku when a rival dojo attacks! Miu stays cool, but Kenichi has that look in his eyes. The number one disciple will defend his turf.

The gang sets off to a private island for some sand and surf action, but Kenichi has one more test to pass before he can get around to rubbing sunscreen on Miu's back.

Ragnarok is preparing for war. The gang of delinquents is stronger than ever, their ranks bolstered by the promotion of a tough girl named Kisara - and she's got Kenichi and Takeda in her sights.

What makes a fighter stand above his foes? Some are blessed with natural skill. Others must depend on perseverance. As Takeda ponders these thoughts, he will face a demon from the past.

Kenichi is rushing to Takeda's aid as the boxer faces off with the Ragnarok squad. He may thrash his way through the foot soldiers, but Kisara waits for her chance to punish Takeda's betrayal.

Niijima has created an army - The Shinpaku Alliance. With Kenichi's brawn and his own brain, Niijima figures their path to legend is certain. Kenichi knows better - and Ragnarok's troubled by the clique, too.

When Niijima and Izumi visit Ryozanpaku, you could cut the tension with a sword. Miu and Izumi trade a few uneasy smiles, but Kenichi might have to intervene before they start trading blows!

Bullies are targeting the Drama Club, trashing sets and picking on actors. Kenichi is willing to protect the thespians, even if it means buddying up with Tanimoto, a handsome Romeo who wants Miu to be his Juliet!

Kisara's crew is on the move, and they're out to humiliate Miu on the day of her thespian debut. Kenichi must prevent the situation from turning into a tragedy - even if it means taking his final bow.

Kenichi's most dangerous foe strikes! Hermit will settle for nothing less than the death of Ryozanpaku's disciple. Before the fight ends, Hermit will test every skill Kenichi learned in his training.

Kenichi follows Kensei out into the city as the master tracks down his estranged brother. Renka, Kensei's tough daughter, and Kenichi can only watch as the siblings prepare to battle to the death.

On his way to meet a secret admirer, Kenichi must step in and protect his friends after some Ragnarok goons ambush Niijima and the Shinpaku Alliance.

Ragnarok captures Niijima and the gang's preparing to ship him far, far away. Miu and Kenichi rush to the rescue - but Siegfried's got plans to make Ryozanpaku's disciple face the music.

Niijima's still in trouble - and so is Kenichi. Siegfried's reputation as an unbeatable opponent appears to be valid, and unless Kenichi can put his training to use like never before, his friend is doomed.

Hermit returns from his self-imposed seclusion, eager to beat Kenichi once and for all. His time away was spent training, but nothing could prepare him for who he must deal with next - Honoka!

Tired of the torturous training, Kenichi runs away from Ryozanpaku - straight into the biggest fight of his life. Honoka's in trouble, and if he wants to save her, Kenichi will have to get through Hermit first!

Kenichi is taking a serious beating when Hermit shares the tragic tale of his childhood. With Honoka in real danger, Kenichi knows the time for words is over - he'll let his fists do the talking.

Loki attacks and Kenichi knows fighting back could get Honoka killed. With a knife at her throat, she's a helpless pawn in Ragnarok's deadly game, and the dirty strategy doesn't sit well with Hermit.

Hermit quit Ragnarok and saved Honoka, but he still burns to settle the score with Kenichi. As the fight gets underway, one fact is clear: no matter who wins, each will soon have to face Odin.

Kenichi's caught between two butt-kicking babes when Renka's visit to Ryozanpaku rubs Miu the wrong way. The friction between them could start a fire. Luckily, the gang's going to the water park!

Kenichi goes on the offensive! His first target is Thor, Ragnarok's Seventh Fist. His massive bulk is dwarfed only by his skills as a Sumo wrestler - and Ryozanpaku's disciple is taking the fight to him.

The other Fists of Ragnarok are questioning Kisara's loyalty. When she's discovered spending time with Miu, thanks to their shared devotion to a stray kitten, Kisara's former foes could be her only allies.

Kenichi's fight with the Walkyries won't be an easy victory. He's outnumbered, they're carrying weapons, and he's not into hitting girls. Luckily, none of that matters to Shigure.

Odin reveals his role in Kenichi's past, and fond memories are shared - but the First Fist promises the future won't be as pleasant.

Kenichi gives it his all against Odin, impressing the First Fist with his training - momentarily. Meanwhile, Niijima puts a plan in motion to lure Hermit into joining the Shinpaku Alliance!

After the Masters start to worry that Kenichi is pushing himself too hard, Elder shocks everyone by offering to train Ryozanpaku's disciple himself!

Kenichi meets a mysterious master living within the forest, and the point of Elder's training comes into focus: Kenichi is at a crossroads and the path he chooses will change his life.

With Kenichi still training deep in the mountains, his friends are on their own when Berserker leads a Ragnarok assault against the Shinpaku Alliance!

Thanks to Siegfried's help, Niijima manages to escape Berserker - for now. Meanwhile, Kisara and Miu take on Freya and her Walkyrie minions.

Kenichi's friends have never needed him more. Even with betrayal dividing Odin's Ragnarok forces, the Shinpaku Alliance is way outmatched and facing their final stand!

Kenichi is back on the scene and ready to face Odin, but the next fight of the day is between Hermit and Berserker.

As his friends rally behind him, Kenichi squares off with Odin. The fists fly at impossible speeds - but just as Ryozanpaku's disciple gains the edge, Ragnarok's deadliest Fist reveals his true power.

With Odin able to predict his every move, Ryozanpaku's disciple makes a brilliant decision: he quits attacking in the style of Kenichi and starts fighting in the exact styles of his Masters!

Odin unleashes a power within himself that threatens to crack his mind and body. Kenichi is no longer just trying to survive - he must call upon all he has learned in order to save his friend.
