The spirit of Ittetsu visits Sumisu and informs his student of his death. He says that he couldn't keep out of the ring, that it's draw was too powerful and that it killed him. This isn't unlike Sumisu's own struggles and the way he numbs them with fighting. Wakamoto warns Sumisu that a big shift in the culture is going to happen soon and that Sumisu has lost sight of the purpose of wrestling- saying that he will lose his mind if he keeps on going like he is. He starts to leave but gives two quick pieces of advice: look for two men who will help Sumisu out and be wary of women who will destroy him. Then he stops again to ask (this dude will not fucking pass on) for Sumisu to avenge him! The message begins to cut in and out like a failing transmission as he warns to look out for someone named Dick. Sumisu awakens and later learns that Ittetsu Wakamoto is no more.
Sumisu, heeding his master's advice, goes on a trip to find himself. Sumisu, not much heeding his master's advice, immediately falls in love with a woman who "absorbs all warmth from the scenery" (and yes, he falls in love before they even talk to one another)
Reiko, the beautiful woman, is a bit of a bitch and tells Sumisu that he's ruining the view. When Sumisu turns to leave, she becomes interested in him and asks more about him where Sumisu reveals that he's a pro wrestler (while stuttering). She mocks him, saying he seems unfit to be a pro wrestler which makes him talk back more firmly. Reiko mocks Ittetsu, calling him old and saying that he made a mistake in making Sumisu a wrestler.
She reveals her full name to be Reiko Saeba, yes that's right, she's the sister of Akira Saeba. She says that wrestlers like Sumisu taint her brother's reputation as a pro wrestler. Sumisu actually sticks up for himself but she's pretty flippant about it and casually dismisses him while revealing herself to be a top model. Suddenly! Andrey Fag appears (not a typo) the man can somehow see through Sumisu, aware that he's trapped in a nightmare promises to wake him up through combat. The two begin to fight and, as always, Sumisu creams him.
Fag laments his inability to wake Sumisu up, saying that he's nothing but a shell anymore. So he goes to London on Fags advice and meets Kid, Dynamic Kid. Dynamic Kid was told to seek out Sumisu by Wakamoto under the circumstance that he perishes prematurely. Kid was also a student of Wakamoto so the two are student siblings kinda. Kid is surprised that Sumisu looks so weak but assures him that there's nothing to be ashamed of and that grieving is normal especially for a young kid like him. Though he does swear to train Sumisu's heart to be stronger and make him more resilient.
The two end their conversation and Sumisu seeks to end his healing trip by watching the gentle current of the Thames. What was the meaning of life, though the River couldn't answer nor could it bring him to his Promised Land, the warm embrace of nature soothed him. Then fucking Reiko Saeba appears and she just keeps insulting him. Calling him a stalker etcetera. Sumisu, a bit more collected, manages to defend himself a bit better but Reiko goes on talking about how wrestling is fake and not a real sport and how she's embarrassed about her brother being one, calling htem both clowns. Sumisu swears to one day defeat prejudices against wrestling by fighting honorably. He says that one day this will make him into a man who can be accepted by the masses...And by Reiko. Reiko is shocked at this but Sumisu continues by saying that he's always had a hard on for her since their first meeting. She's kind of touched by this. He says he's going to win the belt and her heart which makes her kind of hesitant but he's like wait for me! And she does her bitchy routine again and leaves with an ass shot.
His words touched Reiko's heart but Sumisu being kind of dense doesn't realize this and is brought even further down into his depressive nightmare. Though he doesn't know it. The world of Japanese pro wrestling has changed forever in his absence...
