History`s Strongest Disciple Kenichi Season 1 Episode 42 Elder's Special Training Do Or Die Mountain Seclusion
- August 4, 2007
Kenichi continues his grueling training under the tutelage of Elder Kensei, a master of Chinese martial arts. Their intense training takes them to the secluded mountains where they must face a challenge that could very well mean life or death.
The episode begins with Kenichi and Miu arriving at the entrance of the mountain where Elder awaits their arrival. Elder sends them on a three-day journey through the mountain, without food or water, to reach a small village on the other side. Along the way, they must face various obstacles and challenges that will test their strength and endurance.
Kenichi struggles to keep up with Miu, who seems to have no trouble at all with the grueling journey. However, she encourages him to keep going, reminding him of their ultimate goal to become strong enough to defeat the Ragnarok gang.
As they near the end of their journey, Kenichi and Miu come across a raging river that they must cross. With no bridge in sight, they must figure out a way to get across. Miu, being the skilled martial artist she is, uses her agility to jump across the river, but Kenichi struggles to keep up. Just as he is about to give up, Elder appears and shows him a technique to cross the river using his qi.
After finally reaching the village, Kenichi and Miu are greeted by a group of villagers, who they soon realize are not as friendly as they originally seemed. The villagers reveal that they have been tasked with testing the skills of anyone who makes it through the mountain, and they have no intention of letting anyone leave the village alive.
Kenichi and Miu are forced to fight their way out of the village, taking on the village's strongest warriors. They use all of the techniques they have learned from Elder to defeat their opponents, but eventually, they are outnumbered.
Just when it seems like all hope is lost, Elder appears and joins the fight. He shows off his incredible strength and technique, easily defeating the remaining villagers and allowing Kenichi and Miu to escape.
Back at the dojo, Kenichi thanks Elder for his training and tells him that he couldn't have made it through the mountain without his help. Elder reminds Kenichi that there is still much more training to be done if he wants to become the strongest disciple.
The episode ends with Kenichi reflecting on his journey so far, realizing just how much stronger he has become and how much more he has to learn.
