[The End of the Fight]
Ever since he was a child, he had done little but fight.
At first, he fought for himself, for his friends, and for the people he loved. He had pushed his way through everything with nothing but his fists.
He knew it himself. He was different from other people. He would never be able to live within ordinary society.
As he entered adolescence, he began to admire those who were stronger than him. Leaders of delinquent gangs, motorcycle gangs, organized crime groups, martial arts schools—he admired strength above all else. He devoted himself entirely to learning how to fight, thinking about nothing but fighting and how to become stronger.
Eventually, his obsession took tangible form.
People who admired his strength began gathering around him. He commanded a large following almost like an army, and by the time he turned twenty, his influence had grown into a major force within Japan.
Naturally, the people who had made their lives through violence were not going to remain silent. Organized crime groups began targeting his life. They refused to accept being pushed aside in their own world by a young punk who had barely turned twenty.
Yet men and women who admired his strength and were drawn to the way he carried himself continued to gather around him. With nothing but the power of his fists—the power of violence—he eventually became someone who commanded respect throughout Japan.
But the powerful could not afford to ignore a man who had risen through violence.
Money and political power were forces against which physical violence could never hope to compete. At first, it seemed that there was nothing he could do.
But he had allies.
Among them were people who taught him how to fight against money and political power, and how to turn finance and politics themselves into weapons in a fight.
He was a genius when it came to fighting.
That was precisely why he could never be defeated, no matter what form the fight took.
He fought with money through stocks and foreign exchange trading.
He fought through elections and political campaigns.
And he continued winning those battles as well, eventually rising to become the foremost power in Japan.
Then the world could no longer afford to overlook him.
Political leaders and business magnates from around the world approached the man who had become Japan's most influential figure, eventually earning the title of Japan's fixer. Some sought his cooperation. Others sought to use him for their own purposes.
But there was only one thing he knew how to do, no matter what form it took:
Fight.
He fought with money.
He fought through politics.
Whatever kind of fight it was, he stood against the world and fought his way through it.
Eventually, his name became known throughout the world.
And in the end, he united the world through fighting.
