Shura no Mon/Kaidou

Kimura gets out of the hospital and exchanges a few words with Mutsu. All of a sudden, Kaidou jumps into the scenes and is about to shoot Kimura with a bow and arrow. Fortunately, Mutsu is ready for a fight and comes to the rescue. Using his infamous martial arts skills, Mutsu attacks Kaidou with his bare fists, ready to give him a fight he won't soon forget.

Offense and Defense
You fight Kaidou in a new environment: a green clearance. Though it sure is something new, the environment isn't important to your gameplay at all. However, Kaidou will be your first tough battle. He won't take it light on you. In the beginning, he won't let you get one move in. He also moves farther away as you try to move closer to give him more damage, and to make matters worse, he's faster than you.

Offense
The best you can do here is attack as quick as possible. Just keep attacking. When your health is at risk, quickly switch to defense mode. When it seems safe, attack again, but be as cautious as possible. It might take a couple of tries to complete, but sooner or later, you'll become a pro after figuring out his attack pattern.

Defense
Leave the beginning of the battle for offense. Defend later on, when Kaidou seems to be finishing you off. You should have at least half of his health down by then. If not, then you need to start using your top moves to try and defeat Kaidou. Don't be afraid to try newly unlocked moves, as those usually turn out to be more powerful. Otherwise, be cautious and use old-fashioned defense techniques.
