Kurohyou - 93 - Boss: Shima Tetsuji

Описание: Time to face our ninth Dragon Heat opponent! But first, Tatsuya gives Takenaka a call to inform him of what he has learned and ask him to investigate Alexander.

After that, Taizan is the one helping Tatsuya prepare for his fight against Shima, and his advice is to exploit the boxer's retinal detachment by attacking the head to destabilize him, a plan Tatsuya isn't very keen on.

And a plan you shouldn't follow as you face the level 25 pro boxer (Guess what style he uses!), as fully injuring his head will result in an instant defeat for you! So you want a style with a red Heat Action that doesn't hit the head, in my case I went for Extreme God Hand to fit the opponent being a boxer. Focus on low attacks, only dodge forward or backwards so the counter hits the body rather than the head, and if you grab him, only use attacks that don't hit the head.
When he enters Heat Mode, his special attack has him sidestep a lot before striking with either a single punch or a combo, running away works just fine if you don't have your back to the wall, it hurts a lot if he catches you though.

Before the fight, I had mastered every style except for Extreme God Hand, and this final mastered style unlocks the Extreme Man style for me!

After your victory, Shima will ask why Tatsuya didn't exploit his weakness by striking his eyes, and the young man will reply he wanted an honest victory for it to have meaning. Shima will then reveal this is his second defeat, the first being at the hands of Nogi Tooru himself... whom he will recognize right behind Tatsuya, under the fake identity of Amamiya Taizan!

Taizan will then issue Tatsuya his tenth and final challenge in Dragon Heat, if the young man can defeat him, then he will reveal everything...

On the police side, Washio is getting in trouble with his superior for not having apprehended Tatsuya just yet, and as he leaves, the chief gives an ominous phone call...
