[Flashback]
The first was Daisuke Hoshin, known as "The Dragon's Fist."
He mastered bare-knuckle boxing, overwhelming opponents with brutal forward pressure.
He was known for never taking a single step back in a fight.
He lost only to Arata and Shogun — but no one ever called him weak.
The second legend was Miyako Ren, known as "The Beauty of the Vanguard."
She fought with graceful yet devastating taekwondo kicks, rumored to have shattered a man's jaw in a single strike.
She was one of the strongest women to ever walk the streets of the Vanguard era.
The third was Hiroto Sanzen, known as "The Wild Wolf."
He fought like a beast — biting, clawing, gouging eyes — doing whatever it took to win and keep his pride.
Eventually, arrogance consumed him. He challenged Shogun Raizou…
But Shogun ended him in a single fight.
After that day, Hiroto Sanzen was never seen fighting again.
And the fourth was Kaito Enma, known as "The Serpent King."
He was infamous for crippling his opponents — breaking their legs and arms so they could never fight again.
Arata Kurogane faced him three times — and humiliated him every single time.
After his final loss, Kaito vanished from the streets, and his legend faded into silence.
Those were the other legends — apart from Arata and Shogun — who carved their names into the generation of Vanguard.
