OTOMO KURAMI DIE IN A FIRE.

PIC 2
She walks to the elevator and the door opens.

PIC 3
Two men dressed in wild osakan Yakuza suits and hair with sunglasses walk out. Tomi ignores them as they walk past. They make a comment about her, but she doesn’t say anything back.

He smiles at her with deep laugh lines as she walks passed

ODA KUMA KUMARI TOMI YOU LOOK RIDICULOUS.
OTOMO KURAMI I LOOK RIDICULOUS? LOOK AT YOURSELF! YOU LOOK LIKE A STUNT COCK FOR MAGNUM P.I.

PIC 2
The apartment is very Spartan with one corner dedicated to training equipment, a table with two chairs in the kitchen , an old CD player and a laptop. He smiles wider.

ODA KUMA KUMARI YOUR WIT IS STILL AS SHARP AS A SWORD. WILL THE PRINCESS BE DINING WITH ME TODAY?

OTOMO KURAMI THE PRINCESS WILL. WE DEMAND BEEF AND PEPPERS. AND INSISTS YOU PUT YOUR PANTS ON. YOU LOOK LIKE A PACHINKO BUDDHA.

ODA KUMA KUMARI NO WEIGHT CLASS IN THIS BOUT KIDDO.

OTOMO KURAMI DAD I’M JUST GOING TO SAY THIS ONCE. I LOVE YOU AND I’M GLAD YOU’RE FIGHTING AGAIN, BUT YOU’RE 38 YEARS OLD; YOU’RE OUT OF YOUR PRIME, OUT OF SHAPE, OUT OF PRACTICE, ANY OTHER PERSON WOULDN’T EVEN BE CONSIDERING THIS MATCH.

PIC 6

He looks hopeful and starts to smile.

OTOMO KURAMI BUT I KNOW IF THERE’S ANYBODY ALIVE THAT CAN DO IT, IT’S YOU.

ODA KUMA KURAMI THANK’S TOMI

OTOMO KURAMI DON’T THANK ME YET YOU’RE ABOUT TO GO THROUGH THE WORST HELL OF YOUR LIFE.


PAGE 9

PIC 1

It’s the start of a montage. These series of breaks are based entirely around the Otomo and her father working out. This first panel is Her father doing push ups, he’s sweating horribly. I get an image of Her dad doing pushups and the camera is right in his face, with Otomo’s feet directly to the sides in the peripheral of the camera. His voice is shaky here.

ODA KUMA KURAMI 9… 10…

OTOMO KURAMI LAME. YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ONE DOING ALL OF THOSE PUSH UPS.

WEEK 1

He’s doing sit ups.

ODA KUMA KURAMI 9… 10…

OTOMO KURAMI PATHETIC. YOU’RE BETTER THAN THIS OLD TIMER. YOU GOING TO LET SOME YOUNG PUNK TAKE YOU DOWN?

PIC 3
He’s doing hand drills with the big red mitts. He’s sweating profusely and he looks like he’s going to pass out. He’s throwing a jab.

OTOMO KURAMI ONE…

PIC 4
He’s throwing a straight.

OTOMO KURAMI TWO…

PIC 5
He doesn’t move and gets struck in the head by the mitt.

Otomo and her father running. He’s trucking but he’s looking awful. Otomo isn’t even sweating.

OTOMO KURAMI YOU AREN’T EVEN CLOSE TO DONE YET OLD MAN.

PIC 8
He stops but she doesn’t notice.

OTOMO KURAMI HARD WORK IS WHAT MAKES A CHAMPION. THAT’S WHAT YOU TOLD ME. THAT’S WHAT YOU SHOWED THE WORLD.

PIC 9
She turns around and he’s vomiting.

OTOMO KURAMI DAMN IT! YOU ARE SHAMING YOUR LEGACY.

PAGE 10

PIC 1
He’s heaving on the side and he looks grey, but he’s looking at Otomo with fierce eye’s.

ODA KUMA KURAMI YOU ARE THE ONLY LEGACY THAT I CARE ABOUT.
PIC 2

Otomo pretends she didn’t hear it and waves at him to follow her. The camera is behind her father as if it’s looking at her back. She’s waving without looking at him.

OTOMO KURAMI LET’S GET SOME NOODLES.

PAGE 11

The next scene is those two sitting at a noodle shop. There are two big bowls of noodles in front of her and a small plate of radishes in front of him.

OTOMO KURAMI GO ON OLD MAN EAT UP.

PIC 1

He’s studying a radish as if it’s from another planet.

FATHER YOU ARE SO CRUEL.

OTOMO KURAMI THANK YOU. YOUR DISCOMFORT PLEASES ME.

ODA KUMA KURAMI I’M HAPPY YOU ARE THE ONE DOING THIS.

PIC 2
He’s looking at her noodles with the savage hunger of a caged tiger.

ODA KUMA KURAMI IT’S TOO BAD ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED WITH YOUR NOODLES.

He already has half of the ramen in his mouth.

OTOMO KURAMI DAMN! I FORGOT HOW FAST YOU WERE.

She downs the rest of her noodles.

She stands and smiles.

OTOMO KURAMI LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE CHOSEN YOUR PATH. ONCE YOU HAVE FINISHED THE NOODLES I WILL UNLEASH THE FURY OF A THOUSAND HELLS!
PIC 6

He looks shocked as he finishes the last noodle.

ODA KUMA KURAMI NOT THE FURY OF A THOUSAND HELLS!

OTOMO KURAMI YES SUFFERING IS COMING I HOPE YOU ARE PREPARED.

PAGE 12

PIC 1

This is a splash page montage shot. This time he’s looking trimmer and more in shape. He’s doing sit ups, push ups, running, working the pads, and lifting weights. Otomo is smiling now. She’s satisfied and seeing him come together.

CAPTION WEEK 2

ODA KUMA KURAMI 99…100

OTOMO KURAMI KEEP PUSHING OLD MAN, KEEP PUSHING.

PAGE 13

CAPTION WEEK 3

PIC 1

This is also a splash page with him doing harder work out routines. Like one handed push ups, crunches with a medicine ball being dropped on his stomach by Otomo, when he’s running Otomo is pressed to keep up. Pad work is fast, blurred hands and exaggerated movement with the pads being knocked back.

ODA KUMA KUMARI 999…1000

CAPTION HE’S FINDING HIMSELF, WHERE THERE WAS DOUBT WEEKS AGO THERE IS NONE NOW. HIS RING NAME USED TO BE KUMA KURAMI. HIS FEROCITY IN THE RING WAS UNMATCHED AND HIS WILL TO CONTINUE DESPITE THE ODDS RAISED THAT SPECIAL SOMETHING FANS LOVED TO SEE. PEOPLE USED TO CHANT HIS NAME BEFORE AN EVENT LIKE THEY WERE SUMMONING THEIR HERO. I’M STARTING TO SEE THE MAN HE GAVE UP TO BE MY FATHER AND THE ONE WHO IS SHAMED IS ME.


PAGE 14

PIC 1
This is a picture of Kuma cut and ripped. He’s looking at himself in the mirror. Otomo is looking on. She’s a little prideful.

ODA KUMA KURAMI YOU ARE A SLAVE DRIVER, BUT YOU DO GOOD WORK.

OTOMO KURAMI WE’RE NOT DONE YET. YOU HAVEN’T EVEN SPARRED WITH ANYONE YET. I ARRANGED A MATCH WITH THE LOCAL MMA CLUB.
PIC 2

He smiles. His eyebrow is arched. He’s holding his wrapped clenched fist and he looks confident.

ODA KUMA KURAMI WHO AM I FIGHTING?

OTOMO KURAMI IT’S A SURPRISE.

PIC 3

It’s a close up of Kuma’s face. He’s shaking his head.

PIC 4
He walks over and kisses her forehead.

ODA KUMA KURAMI WHAT WOULD I DO WITHOUT OUT YOU?


OTOMO KURAMI SUFFER A HUMILIATING DEFEAT THAT WOULD SHAME EVERY ANCESTOR IN OUR FAMILIES LINEAGE.

PIC 5
She looks up at him and he messes up her hair.

CAPTION WHEN I WAS YOUNG I SAW MY FATHER THE CHAMPION. WHEN HE QUIT I SAW MY FATHER THE HAS BEEN. I THINK I FINALLY SEE HIM FOR THE MAN HE IS.

PIC 6
She hugs him. And he hugs her back.

OTOMO KURAMI YOU STINK.

ODA KUMA KURAMI I’M SORRY.

OTOMO KURAMI S’OKAY.

PAGE 15

PIC 1

It’s a picture of the front of a low rent dojo. It says
Tenshin’s MMA. With a bunch of kanji along the side. Otomo and
Kuma are standing in front of it with a gear bag.

ODA KUMA KURAMI YOU BRING ME TO THE NICEST PLACES

OTOMO KURAMI WILL YOU SHUT UP.

up. They are doing various stretches, hindu squats, and a couple
are jump roping.

ODA KUMA KURAMI SO WHICH ONE AM I FIGHTING?

PIC 3
A very happy elderly individual runs up to shake Otomo’s hand.

TENSHIN TOMI! SO GOOD TO SEE YOU. IS THIS YOUR FATHER? I HAD NO IDEA YOUR DAD WAS THE KUMA KURAMI.

OTOMO KURAMI YEAH, I DIDN’T WANT TO SPREAD IT AROUND TOO MUCH. ANYWAY LET’S GET STARTED.
PIC 4
Tenshin comes over and shakes Kuma’s hand.

TENSHIN I’VE SEEN ALL OF YOUR FIGHTS AND THEY WERE VERY IMPRESSIVE.

ODA KUMA KUMARI SO HOW DO YOU KNOW MY DAUGHTER?

TENSHIN SHE WAS MY FIRST STUDENT WHEN I OPENED UP SHOP. TAUGHT ME A FEW TRICKS AS WELL.
PIC 5

It’s a close up of Tenshin’s face and he has a very wily/cunning/sinister look on his face.

TENSHIN I WAS THINKING THE BEST WAY TO GET YOU BACK TO TOP NOTCH WOULD BE A QUICK RUN THROUGH THE GRINDER. WE START YOU OFF EASY THEN MOVE YOU UP FOR THE MORE EXPIERIENCED FIGHTER. THAT WAY YOU’RE WRECKED BY THE TIME YOU GET TO THEM AND THE ONLY THING YOU CAN RELY ON IS TECHNIQUE.

PIC 6

It’s a shocked Kuma as he looks at everybody in the room.
Tenshin’s arm is around Kuma’s neck


ODA KUMA KUMARI SO I’M TO FIGHT ALL OF THEM?

TENSHIN ALL OF MY STUDENTS, YES.

ODA KUMA KUMARI THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY.
PAGE 16

PIC 1

It’s Kuma and the first guy. He’s about eighteen years old and

guts. They are in a ring filled with mats. Ropes are around them
and it’s on the ground.

PIC 2
The first guy throws a wide jab.

unconscious.

PIC 6
It’s a picture of Otomo stretching in the corner facing
everybody. She’s smiling.

CAPTION THERE HE IS. THE MAN WHO WAS KNOWN AS THE BEAR. DAD HAS A GOOD STAND UP GAME AND A DAMN GOOD GROUND GAME. YOU WOULDN’T GUESS IT BUT WHEN DAD WAS A KID HE WAS A WIMP. GRANDPA TRAVELED A LOT AND TOOK DAD WITH HIM TO KEEP HIM FROM GETTING PICKED ON FOR HIS SIZE. HE SPENT YEARS OF HIS YOUTH LEARNING THE INS AND OUT OF CATCH WRESTLING.

PIC 4
He puts his arm around her shoulders as they start to walk out
of the gym.

ODA KUMA KUMARI YOUR TRANSITIONS WERE FLAWLESS OUT THERE. YOU HAVE TRULY WORKED HARD TO GET WHERE YOU ARE AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE PROUD.

OTOMO KUMARI YEAH, BUT I’M STILL NOT WHERE I WANT TO BE.

ODA KUMA KUMARI THAT IS A SIGN OF A TRUE WARRIOR. EVEN WHEN YOU ARE THE BEST, THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE BETTER AND THE ONLY PERSON YOU SHOULD BE LOOKING TO BEAT IS YOURSELF.
