AKIRA SAEBA
After the collapse of UWH, Akira Saeba founded GONGS, which Sumisu soon joined.
Fighting in that network, which spread through the whole world like wildfire, made him realize how little he knew of the scene outside of Japan.
GLY: "It's just some Jap kid... Hey, don't get rough. This is a clean ring."
GLY: "No punches to the face. That's just basic human decency. Akira always says these are 'man to man fights'..."
GLY: "But you see... I'm a cyborg, so..."
SUMISU: "This Dutch bouncer doesn't know what he's doing. I'm gonna take this fight beyond the Red Zone."
GLY: "This shit wouldn't fly in a street fight. Keep that in mind when we meet outside the ring!"
VAN: "I'll give you a taste of my fearsome Commando Sambo. Do you know what a commando is? That's a man trained to kill."
VAN: "I refuse to kill in the ring, but I could if I wanted to. Are you ready?"
SUMISU: "Has this man killed someone on the battlefield? His glare is terrifying, I fear for my life. But I must win."
VAN: "Your spirit is strong. Even that Georgian would respect you. Maybe one day I'll show you some tricks."
'The man with the Demon Fist', Bitsansa Taluwell. Evading the attacks of this 2m tall giant was nigh-impossible.
TALUWELL: "OSU! ... OSU! ... OSU! ... OSU!"
SUMISU: "He's as tall and as still as a mountain. I'm gonna have to find a way to deal with his gigantic body."
TALUWELL: "OSU!"
SAEBA: "I won't run or hide. Come at me like you wanna crush me! I'm not gonna hold back just because this is a sparring match."
SUMISU: "I won't lose, Saeba! Everything I've done was to reach this point. I won't get another chance to defeat you, I won't let you get away!"
SAEBA: "You haven't reached the Red Zone yet. You couldn't even make me flinch. Want me to take you seriously? Start over from the beginning!"
SAEBA: "You'll have to broaden your horizons and absorb the wider world of martial arts. I've already booked you. Learn what it takes to win!"
ITTETSU: "You're my disciple, don't forget that!"
