Despite this, Kenji's wife, Rin, continued to support him, recognizing his enduring passion. Following Sensei Yamamoto's death, a will declared that the next Sensei would be determined by a showdown between Kenji and Shintaro, leading Rin to dedicate herself to Kenji's redemption through rigorous training.
