< At school, summer time >
Manta: Hot, hot, hot. Why it is so hot?
Manta: How can you be so energetic? And what's the dance?
Yoh: No, Manta. I am fighting with the heat.
Yoh: The more you hide, the more torturous you feel. So I decide to fight it like a man.
Manta: Have you lost your mind?
???: Get out of my sight!!

Student1: Wha… what did I do wrong?
???: Shut up, Fatso. You want more knuckle sandwiches?
Yoh: What's that, Manta?
Manta: That guy again.
Yoh: You know him?
Manta: Of course. Yoh, do you know 'Gucci Kenji'?
Yoh: No.
Manta: That's what I thought.

Manta: Gucci Kenji, with his Afro hairstyle and a great pose, is a great boxing champion from Japan. He is like god of boxing. That guy used to be an heir to Gucci's legend.
Yoh: used to?
Manta: After Gucci died because of accident, that guy became out of control.
Manta: Gucci turns him from punk to athlete, but he died. As the proverb, 'you can't delete a spot on a jaguar'.*(2) Punk will always be a punk.
Manta: Tobinai Tatsushi, 9th grade of Shinra secondary. A real threat.

Yoh: Um, spirit of a boxer? Should be useful.
Manta: Now you know…
< Yoh greets Tatsushi, Manta is shocked >
Manta: Are you crazy?
Yoh: Hi, I wanna ask something.
Manta: He didn't listen the later part. He will get killed!
Tatsushi: Who the hell are you?
Yoh: I am interested in your beloved teacher, please tell me his story.
< Yoh is punched >

Tatsushi: Teacher? Don't even mention the name of that scum. It irritates me.
< Nursing room >
Yoh: Arh!
Manta: You are so crazy.
Yoh: I don't think he will be this mean.
Amidamaru: I do agree, sir.
Manta: Amidamaru!
Manta: So you think he is not a bad person. < thinking > he must hang out with bad guys a lot.
Amidamaru: I do understand the eyes of a tiger. I still can see the flame burning within those eyes.

Yoh: Right? Let's go to investigate his story.
Amidamaru: Yes, sir.
Manta: That's impossible. He doesn't have parent, brother, sister, or friend. He just cares about no one.
Yoh: That's why we have to find champ's spirit. He is his teacher, so he might know something.
Manta: Eh, Gucci Kenji's spirit?
Yoh: If he hasn't gone yet, I will talk to him. Here must be torturous.

Manta: Ah…
Yoh: Amidamaru, you go to ask those spirits. Manta and I will go to the gym.
< night time, some building >
Ryu: Cough. Cough. What is this? We have more people, but are defeated by one man. This is embarrassing. Just when we find our new lair.

< Tatsushi punches Ryu >
Tatsushi: Your lair? You must be kidding. This is not a place for punk.
< sign: Gucci Kenji Boxing Gym >
Ryu: We will remember this! Who wants this stinking place anyway!
Tatsushi: Even those punk can loiter this place, this must be the end.
< looking at Gucci's picture > right?

< Tatsushi punches the picture >
Tatsushi: Damn!
Tatsushi: Everyone, even you. A guy who hands me my first defeat, then teaches boxing to me. A guy who gives hope that someday I will beat you and become a world-class.
Tatsushi: Why did you die? Why do you leave me alone? Where should I turn to?

< Yoh sits in the ring, dressing like a boxer >
Yoh: How about this way?
Yoh: You really like boxing.
Tatsushi: You… that guy in the afternoon. What do you want dressing like that?
Yoh: Fighting with the heir of Gucci Kenji like you. I am a reincarnation of Gucci.
Tatsushi: Reincarnation?

Yoh: It doesn't matter you understand it or not. You are just a loser who runs away from boxing anyway.
Tatsushi: That's enough. A brat like you cannot compare yourself to my teacher.
Manta: Do you think it's OK, Amidamaru?
Amidamaru: Don't worry about Lord Yoh. He has a good helper
< description: Gucci Kenji's spirit ball >
Yoh: You don't try, you don't know. Let's combine…

Yoh: …Champ
Tatsushi: That stand!
Tatsushi < angry >: Anyone can imitate that! You can't compare with my teacher!

< Tatsushi hits Yoh >
Manta: Yoh!
Yoh: This is nothing. You don't even deserve to polish my shoes.
Tatsushi: You!
Yoh: This is jab? C'mon. This ain't no amateur fight!

Yoh: HIT!
Manta: Great! He evades all punches and gives a hook! Gucci wins championship with this!
Amidamaru: I don't quite understand, but seems like he uses the spirit's ability.
Tatsushi < thinking >: Ah… This kid, has teacher's moves.
Tatshshi: I am just too careless, kid. Now I am serious.

Yoh: You Brat! Still being a punk after all I taught you!!
Yoh: You can't run away all the time!
< description: Soul Hook >

Tatsushi < thinking >: Soul Hook. His move that sends numerous opponents flying…
Tatsushi < thinking >: Teacher… he is behind that guy.
Tatsushi: You do like that every time, smiling after being angry. Quit it, will ya?

Tatsushi: I wan to… box again.
< description: Tatsushi met his mentor before passing out. Afterward, he returned to boxing under the name "Gucci 2nd". It's just a matter of time now. >
Manta: How about Gucci's spirit?
Yoh: I don't want him.
Manta < laughing >: Why so? He is so good.
Yoh < with all bruise >: I don't like boxing. It hurts. I don't want to get hurt anymore.
< This time Yoh fails to collect a spirit - Manta >
