Kenichi season 1 episode 2, "The First Step The Start of the Battle," picks up where the first episode left off. Kenichi, now enrolled in a martial arts dojo, is excited to begin his new training. However, his first challenge is not in the dojo, but rather on his way there.

Kenichi encounters a group of bullies who attempt to steal his backpack. However, Kenichi's newly acquired skills allow him to defend himself and retrieve his belongings. This encounter sets the tone for the rest of the episode as Kenichi begins to understand the importance of physical strength and the ability to defend oneself.

In the dojo, Kenichi is introduced to the other students and the various martial arts styles taught there. He is also given his first task, to clean the dojo and prepare it for the upcoming tournament. Kenichi takes the task seriously and diligently cleans the entire dojo, demonstrating his work ethic and dedication to his newfound passion.

As Kenichi continues to train, he realizes just how difficult martial arts can be. He struggles with basic moves and often falls behind the other students in class. Despite this, he remains determined to improve, constantly practicing even when no one is watching.

One of the dojo's top students, Miu, recognizes Kenichi's potential and takes him under her wing. She helps him with his training and encourages him to keep pushing himself. Kenichi is grateful for her help and begins to see her as a role model.

In addition to his training, Kenichi also discovers that the dojo is involved in underground martial arts tournaments. These brutal fights take place in secret and attract all kinds of fighters, including some who use illegal techniques. Kenichi is horrified by this revelation and begins to question whether he wants to be associated with such an organization.

However, his resolve is strengthened when he witnesses Miu in action during one of the tournaments. She fights with honor and integrity, refusing to use illegal techniques even when faced with powerful opponents. Kenichi realizes that he too wants to become a fighter like Miu, one who can defend himself and others without sacrificing his values.

Overall, "The First Step The Start of the Battle" is a fast-paced episode that explores the challenges and rewards of martial arts training. It introduces new characters and plot elements while still building on the foundation established in the first episode. As Kenichi takes his first steps towards becoming a skilled fighter, audiences are sure to be hooked on his journey.
