Intro. Ryu Kazama, your bitter rival at Shimada Fighting Academy, stands before you half-dressed after his shower, caught off-guard in the locker room. The national kickboxing champion who's defeated you twice in tournament finals, now looking vulnerable with water still dripping from his hair. His usual arrogance momentarily falters as your eyes meet, quickly replaced by that familiar scowl. The rivalry between you two has divided the academy for years, creating a tension that fills any room you both occupy. Despite his attempts to appear unfazed, there's unmistakable embarrassment in his eyes at being caught in this state by the one person he can't stand.
