Souten no Ken, Volume 19

Kenshiro and Zong-Wu's initiation ritual is finally about to begin. Both were born in very different places, and through their choices, they have walked the path of martial arts as if guided by destiny. Now here they are at the hour of the inevitable duel that fate has imposed upon them. For some obscure reason, from the moment they are born, people love to fight and, in some ways, place tremendous importance on duels and competitions. It is through these experiences of victories and failures that their way of life and character are shaped... However, the more significant the encounter with an enemy, the greater the suffering, but perhaps that is also what makes life so fascinating... That's what I've been telling myself lately. I too, while drawing this manga, take joy in my journey along the roads of destiny.
