Season 1

Kenichi begins his training at the Ryōzanpaku dojo under the guidance of Akisame. The training focuses on building strength and stamina. Concerned about Kenichi's fight with Daimonji, Miu secretly teaches him a stepping technique to maneuver around. Even though Kenichi is able to defeat Daimonji at the challenge, he yields his membership of the karate club after being accused of using a throw in a karate match.

After watching Kenichi defeat Daimonji, Tsukuba, the strongest member of the karate club, gets suspicious of Kenichi's abilities. At the school Miu, joins the girl's gymnastics club and soon becomes the center of attention after displaying her abilities at gymnastics. Kenichi desperately tries to avoid Tsukuba, but is soon caught and gets beaten to a pulp. Seeing Kenichi repent his loss to Tsukuba, Akisame decides to start training him in some martial arts techniques.

Kenichi is easily defeated by Tsukuba despite his heavy training, so he becomes greatly demotivated. With a desire to become stronger and more courageous, Akisame-sensei agrees to finally teach him martial art fighting techniques. Kenichi is put through more rigorous training from the four masters of martial arts. Sakaki-sensei takes a liking to him, so he teaches him a technique that a Sports Karate Style user is vulnerable to. Eventually Kenichi runs into Tsukuba and fights him again, this time he uses the techniques taught to him and he emerges victorious in the battle. Little does he know what troubles he will face as a result of it in the future.

With the news of Kenichi's victory over Tsukuba spreading all over, the strongest gang in the prefecture Ragnarok now has their eyes set on Kenichi. All Kenichi can do now is to train and prepare for the worst. For a change of pace, his teachers suggest that he goes on a date with Miu but they seem to have an ulterior motive.

Kenichi decides to spend the entire weekend at the Ryouzanpaku dojo and train for his imminent fights. His little sister then goes to check out this dojo, to see what kind of torturous things he's going through.

Kenichi is with fellow gardening club member Izumi, enjoying what is left of his peaceful life because following this he has more extensive training to do. During his training with Miu it doesn't take long before he runs into the Ragnorak and it is Taichi Koga the kicker he is up against.

The attacks on Kenichi are now becoming a daily occurrence and one day his opponent ends up pulling out a knife against him. Because it was his first time against a weapon, Kenichi freezes up, forcing Miu to save him. Now Shigure-sensei, the weapon specialist, has now decided to teach Kenichi the basic art weaponry.

With Kenichi's training with Apacahi always ending the same, Apachai is trying to learn of a way to go easy on him. Will Apachai ever learn how to go easy on Kenichi, during training?

Takeda Ikki, the puncher from the Ragnorak gang, is still searching for Kenichi but has had no luck so far. So he decides to hold some of Kenichi's so called friends hostage to lure him out. Now it is the time to see if Kenichi's training on Muay Thai, with Apachai, had an effect.

It's the continuation of Kenichi's intense fight with Takeda and Kenichi seems to have the upper hand but his kindness may prove to be his downfall. Kenichi is also wondering what made such a promising boxer like Takeda to become a delinquent.

Kenichi feels uneasy about how he should express his feelings to Miu. After Kisara hears of Takeda's defeat Tsuji Shinnosuke is sent to kill Kenichi, however he invites him to join his gang instead. When Kenichi refuses and debunks his way of thinking, Shinnosuke challenges him to a fight.

All of Kenichi's attacks seem to have no affect on Shinnosuke. Even though Kenichi is stronger, his opponent has more fighting experience so he is still at a disadvantage. Miu is not allowed to come to his aid because it would hurt Kenichi's pride. Kenichi becomes careless and is knocked to the ground and is about to be torn apart, Takeda comes and punches Shinnosuke to one side and escapes carrying Kenichi back to the Ryouzanpaku dojo. To Kenichi's dismay his masters all criticise him for being defeated, because it means it will lead to further defeats. Niijima continues to spread his manipulated version of the news throughout the whole school. After his defeat has been revealed to everyone, he is constantly chased around by school delinquents. All of the masters at the dojo decide that Kenichi should be taken in as a true disciple of Ryozanpaku, meaning he should stay there and must live only for martial arts.

After his defeat with Shinosuke Tsuji, the masters decided to have Kenichi live with them. This would include 24 hour hell-like training. Kenichi accepts with the idea that he would be living with Miu under the same roof.
