Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix

Prologue 

Narrator: "Ken continues his training in America."

Narrator: "But the honeymoon with Eliza has long since ended and they've become a bit tired of each other lately..."

Ken: "I love Eliza, but it would be kind of nice to have tea with another girl once in a while."

Narrator: "And so Ken left in search of a beautiful girl."

Epilogue 

Narrator: "And so Ken was forced to go shopping with Morrigan..."

Ken: "Come on already! Aren't you finished yet? My feet hurt!"

Morrigan: "But you said you'd buy me some new clothes. Just be glad I'm with you. Oh! Let's try that store next!"

Eliza: "(Someone please put an end to my suffering!)"

Morrigan: "Ken! Who is that girl!?"

Ken: "Eliza! Oh no! Wait, this is all a misunderstanding! We were just having tea! That's all really!"

Eliza: "I've heard that line before! Take that!"

Ken: "Ouch!"

Morrigan: "Ha ha ha! That's what I like about this human world : great clothes and lots of entertaining quarrels!"

Pre-boss Dialogue

Vs. Morrigan

Ken: "Hey there Morrigan! Interested in having a cup of tea with me sometime?"

Morrigan: "Why not? But first, how about a sparring match? I'm so dreadfully bored!"

Ken: "Sure! That sounds... Hey wait!"

Vs. Felicia

Felicia: "Here you are, Ken! Could you introduce me to someone in the movie industry? I'd like to appear in a movie!"

Ken: "A movie... I think I know someone... I could introduce you to him, but you will have to fight me first!"

Felicia: "I don't understand why you want to fight me, but you'd better make sure I'm well introduced to him if I win!"

Eliza brings refreshments to Ken.

Ken: "No... It's nothing."

Eliza: "Isn't that the postcard that came this morning? (beat) Hey, are you hiding something from me?"

Ken: "No way!"

(Later)

Eliza: "Oh! It's from Ryu! "Ready to keep your promise for a rematch?""

Ken: "I mean, of course I'm just gonna tell him to wait. Now's not the time. I was just about to write him back..."

Eliza: "We're talking about Ryu here. How would you get in touch with him?"

Ken: "Uhh..."

Eliza: "It may be faster to just go see him. You just got invited to another tournament, right? Why not stop by and get a few matches in while you're at it?"

Ken: "Eliza... honey..."

Eliza: "It's fine. The baby's not coming for a little while yet. Just be sure to tell him I said "hi", OK?"

Ken smiles.

Ending

Ken: "Eliza, I'm home!"

Eliza: "Welcome back, Ken!"

Ken: "Was everything alright? How do you feel?"

Eliza: "Fine. Same goes for the bun in the oven. No problem at all! Well, did you get to see Ryu?"

Ken: "Yeah. But we had our hands full with the other fights. Couldn't give it our all. Still, it was good to spar with him again."

Eliza: "Great (beat) Oh! Hey!"

Ken: "Ah, nice kick! This one's destined to be a better fighter than dear ol' dad!"

Eliza: "Sure is... Sure is..."

*hangs up*
"Just think -Me, a dad! It feels like I'm dreaming. I guess it'll all feel pretty real once he's born, though. You and I used to just be plain old fighters, didn't we, Ryu? Then I up and got married and now I'm on the road to fatherhood. I wish I could say I felt the same way now as I did when we trained together, but things will definitely change from here on out. I'm feeling pretty strange here, Ryu. Change is good, but it can be scary too. I wonder what advice you'd have for me... Guess I'll just ask you in person!"

  • Narrator: "Ryu sets his sights on the Antarctic to discover the true nature of the box. Ken, worried about his friend, decided to accompany him."
  • Ken: "Guess there's no reasoning with you on this one, huh? Okay. I suppose I might as well tag along for the ride."

Ken's Style: Mastery

Ken: "Don't waste time on words---just press on. Leading the way is strength all of its own."

  • "A guy I know once told me that improvement means asking endless series of questions. Very Zen, right? He really was strong as hell, though. Leads me to believe there was truth in those words of his."
  • "Safety first, huh. Now there's a phrase I couldn't have cared less about... And then I started working here."
  • "Am I getting used to working here? Good question... What about you?"
    • (It's hard work...)
  • " Hey, I know the feeling. Some days, I'm right there with you. It seems like simple work at first glance, but it takes more than strength to do it right. And you've gotta be careful, and follow every procedure to the letter. If I'm being honest, it isn't exactly in my wheelhouse. For the most part, I get people to help me out with the tricky stuff and pay them back by doing the grunt work. Keeps me fit, at least."
  • "Kids grow up in the blink of an eye. One second they're just a baby, and the next? *chuckle*. They're big enough to talk back to you. There are two things in this world that I've sworn to protect at any cost. My wife...and my son. I wanted to be the kind of father and husband who could look after his family. I wanted to hold my head high as the guardian of the Masters household. But now... Now I can't even get close to them." (A bond with Ken 1)
  • "If you wanna improve, you can't neglect your training. I mean look, I get it. I was never big on practice myself. But there's no shortcut to success. Period."
  • Honestly, my fighting style isn't something I can just teach to anyone who asks. Its roots are ancient. Some of these techniques are dangerous, even. Gotta really know what you're doing if you're gonna use 'em.
  • "The National Martial Arts Champion." I accepted the title on some level, but honestly... It never felt right when people called me that. A title was never what I was after. There was this guy. He was always there in front of me, walking steadily onward. Just like him, I spent a lot of time questioning the true nature of strength. Just goes to show how young I was, I guess."
  • "Once, I bundled all my fighting techniques into a methodology for beginners. Sort of a correspondence course..for fighting like me. What I'm teaching you now is pretty similar to what was in those lesson plans."
  • "Looks like you're enjoying your training. Glad to see it. If you're having fun, it's easy to forget you're working your butt off. There was a time in my life when I felt that way too."
  • "Going into hiding has really made me realize some things. Like how easy I've had it for most of my life, for one."
    • (Answer: You'll always be the champion to me.)
  • "My martial arts training is a whole other ball of wax I suffered plenty there. Dad's the reason the Masters Foundation got as big as it did. Sure I did some token work as an operating officer. My business acumen wasn't half bad, either. But the incident in Nayshall knocked me flat on my ass. Still. If things had just kept going the way they were... I doubt I would have surpassed my dad in the business world."
  • "I always thought having students was annoying. That they just got in the way. I still do in fact. If I could kick them all to the curb, I would. The first kid who showed up and asked to become my disciple was one brazen son of a gun. But before I knew it, his enthusiasm had won me over. I was younger then, and didn't exactly do a great job teaching him. But I saw him improve, slowly but surely. A little slow on the uptake at times, but an absolute boy scout at heart. No wonder you remind me of him. Ha ha ha!" (A bond with Ken 2)
  • "Do I like fighting? It's such a huge part of my life, I've never even given it any thought. There is one thing I can say for sure, though. I don't think I'm ever gonna give up fighting. I'll probably keep doing this until the day I die."
  • "So I'm in hiding right now, for...reasons. Still, nothing gets me more fired up than a fight. I'd always get totally focused on taking down whoever was in front of me. I may be older now, but that fundamental part of me hasn't changed a bit. That's part of why I decided to make you my student, in fact. I may be in hiding, but fighting's always going to be part of my life. It's part of who I am."
  • "I think it's time. Okay, let's rock." (Avatar defeats Ken) Welp. I've got nothing left to teach you. Pat yourself on the back, You've graduated."
  • "You heard about what happened in Nayshall, right? The terror attacks? I was there on behalf of the Foundation, overseeing economic aid projects. I was suspected of working with anti-government groups, and, well... Here we are. Honestly, I couldn't believe what had happened to me. Before I knew it, I was wanted suspicions of terrorism. I had no idea what was right, no idea what I was supposed to do. It was all kind of blur, but in the end, well... I found myself in a brawl with an on-site security agent. They detained me after that. My son ended up involved... Thank heavens he made it out safely. That's the only silver lining in all this." (A Bond With Ken 3)
  • "Who was responsible for the incident in Nayshall? It was one of the NGOs. Or that was part of it, if I had to guess. Not that I have proof. Nothing concrete, anyway. But I know the bastard responsible for setting me up. You better believe I'm not going to let this end here. If I don't settle things, the man I used to be will be lost forever. I can feel it." (A Bond With Ken 4)
Master Missions
A Gentleman's Whereabouts
  • "Hate to ask this, but... I've got a request I'd like to make. Or rather, I'd like you to ask a question in my place. Here's the question: "What's on the gentleman's docket today?" I wonder how they'll respond. Better prepare, just in case."
  • Lloyd: The hell're you looking at? (What's on the gentleman's docket today?) What'd ya do that for!? You better get to talkin', bucko! (Avatar defeats Lloyd) Wait, wait hold up! I get it! Look, I'll talk! "In a distant land, tarnished riches shine." No idea what it means, but the honchos keep parroting it. Seriously. why me? Mama said there'd be days like this..
  • "Find anything out? "In a distant land, tarnished riches shine," huh... Just what are they trying to-? Oh, don't mind me. Thanks for gathering that intel. "(Mission complete)
Masters Building Patrol
  • "Hey, sorry to ask, but I need a favor. You know the Masters Foundation building, right? I'd like you to patrol around there. Something's been bugging me..."
  • Memphis: "Who're you? We're chasing a serious scoop right now. This kid's the son of the Foundation's senior VP. The one who caused that big ruckus. This is a serious story we're in the middle of, so keep your nose out of it!
    • (Avatar defeats Memphis)
  • Mel: "Tons of weirdos around here lately. That's what we get for cutting security. I'm Mel. Mel Masters. And...boy, you're pretty strong huh? You kinda remind me of Da- Er, forget I said anything. Anyway. You really saved my bacon. Thanks."
  • "There was a kid involved? Jeez, doesn't that figure..."
    • (About the kid.)
  • "Yeah. Mel's my son. First they come after me, and now they're making my son miserable too?...I know it's asking a lot, but could you do me one more favor? If you don't mind, I'd..like you to keep checking in on him from time to time. I know he's not some helpless kid who needs constant protection. But as a parent, up and leaving him to fend for himself doesn't sit right. Just...meet up and talk to him that's all." (Mission Complete)
Learning a new technique
  • "Some folks just want to throw out moves all willy-nilly. I'd really rather not see you become one of those types. So I'd better teach you the basics, at the very least."
  • "I'm sure I've said as much before, but... You can't just throw moves around like they're going out of style."
  • "Listen. I've told you this before, but it's worth repeating. You can't just throw out moves mindlessly, got it?"

    • (Answer: Yes) "Bring it!"
    • (Answer: No) "Ha ha! Taking steps to up your win rate, huh? Looking forward to seeing how that pans out."
  • "I'd say we're just about wrapped up. Got any fuel left in that tank of yours? Should we keep this thing going a little longer?"
    • (Answer: Yes, please!) "Cool, let's do this."
    • (Answer: Nah, I'm spent.) "Hey, I hear ya. Later, then."

  • "When I fight, I lose myself to it. Believe me, I've tried, but...I don't think it's a habit I'm ever gonna break. And every time I slip into my gi from the good ol' days, I'm reminded that I'll never escape that part of myself."

Happy Birthday, Ken! (2025)

  • "I tried my best at work, but I got tripped up by a few things, you know? Definitely not my year to say the least. But it's not going to be like this forever. I'll be back, and badder than ever."
