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.
