Strike, Kenichi! Fists do the Talking!.While Akisame and Sakaki watch from a distance Kenichi prepares to fight Tanimoto. Miu, Takeda and Ukita are attacked by Loki's lookalikes who are easily defeated. Kenichi and Tanimoto fight each other viciously with neither able to gain the upper hand. Akisame and Sakaki bet on who will win. Tanimoto reveals how he and his sick sister were adopted and he was forced to learn to run the family business by his heartless father. But then his father fell in love with and married the doctor who was treating his sister and for a time they were happy. Only the doctor betrayed them and allowed his sister to become very sick before poisoning his father for his money. She was arrested and Tanimoto inherited the business but refused to trust anyone ever again. Kenichi refuses to pity him and they fight once more. Miu and the others arrive at the church. Kenichi refuses to believe that trusting others makes you weak and, using the faith he has in his friends and masters, summons the strength to deliver a Double Palm Strike, knocking Tanimoto down. Before they can fight again they are interrupted by Loki who is holding Honoka hostage on the church roof.
