2
3	''Shootfighter Tekken'' is a short anime OVA prequel of a manga called ''Manga/HighSchoolExcitingStoryTough''.
4
5	It follows the story of Kiichi "Kibou" (Kee-boh) Miyazawa, a young punk who is the only son of Nadashinkage Style's remaining few masters, Oton Miyazawa. Nadashinkage Style is a murderous martial art, borne near the end of Meiji-era Japan, and utilizes strikes to vital points and pressure points on the human body to cripple (or outright kill) opponents.
6
7	Neither Oton or Kiichi really have any desire to use this martial art to kill. Or really to do anything more than become stronger with it, really. But an old rival, Iron Kiba, is still simmering over his loss with Oton--he demands a rematch with Oton and threatens to expose Nadashinkage Style to the world if he doesn't get it. He sends flunkies one by one to harass them, and...well. It goes kinda downhill from there.

9	----
10	!!This show provides examples of:
11
12	* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler:Iron Kiba's FreudianExcuse.]]
13	* BadassBoast: "I NEED to be able to fight the strongest opponents! If GOD would put up a fight, I would even throw down with the Almighty Himself!"
14	** Lampshaded directly afterwards: "...did you REALLY just say that?"
15	* BadassInANiceSuit: Oton's attire of choice is a black suit and glasses.
16	* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Kiichi loses to Kiba, but only by being attacked InTheBack after beating him down cleanly. Also, Kiba undergoes a spiritual transformation thanks to the match.]]
17	* BlackAndWhiteMorality: You either respect your opponent and want to become stronger, or want to break every bone in their body.
18	* ChekhovsSkill: If a fighter has mentioned an ultra-powerful technique, it will be used.
19	* CursedWithAwesome: A master of the Nadashinkage Style has absolute control over whether his opponent lives or dies, and must constantly keep himself in check.
20	* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: The entire Nadashinkage Style is a dangerous forbidden art, as every single technique can either cripple or kill opponents.
21	* DefeatMeansFriendship: [[spoiler:Kiichi buddy-buddies up with Takahashi this way.]] In the end, [[spoiler:Kiichi manages to change even Iron Kiba's heart, though not entirely by beating him...]]
22	* DreamSequence[=/=]{{Flashback}}: Iron Kiba is constantly haunted by the one match he lost, against Oton and the Nanshin Shadow Style.
23	* EverybodyWasKungFuFighting: Being a martial arts anime, natch.
24	* EyeScream: Kiba's eye was forcefully gouged out. He has a habit of popping his replacement one out and putting it back in.
25	* FaceHeelTurn: In the wrestling sense. Iron Kiba is ([[InformedAbility supposedly]]) a good enough face to get all sorts of product lines and sponsors, but after encountering the Nadashinkage Style after many years, his next match forcefully disqualifies him via flagrant foul--and he proceeds to rant to the entire audience about how the rules are pointless anyway.
26	* FirstNameBasis: Kiichi calls his father by his first name, "Oton", instead of his surname--or more appropriately, "father" or "dad".
27	* HeirToTheDojo: Kiichi to Nadashinkage Style.
28	* HotBlooded: Kiichi. Seriously.
29	* KickTheDog: [[spoiler: Iron Kiba stepping on the neck of his beaten student,]] and [[spoiler:Master Genchu splintering Shingo's arm after he lost.]]
30	* LargeAndInCharge: Oton.
31	* MenDontCry: Kiichi is floored by [[spoiler:Oton getting hit head-on by a car.]] Gramps' reaction? "Man the hell up."
32	* MoralityPet: [[spoiler:The Man Eater's little sister.]]
33	* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Takahashi The Man Eater.
34	* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: The wrestler Fujita is obviously patterned after real life pro wrestling Wrestling/YoshiakiFujiwara.
35	* OverdrawnAtTheBloodBank / HighPressureBlood: Toyed with. [[spoiler:When the Man Eater gets gouged deep with a knife, he uses his muscles to push it out. Blood then gushes out like a fountain, and he ends up hospitalized from blood loss.]]
36	* PrecisionFStrike: "Master Genchu, I have only one thing to say. ...you're a piece of shit."
37	* RealMenWearPink: Oton likes bunnies.
38	* ScaryShinyGlasses: Oton.
39	* Squick: There's more than several very...graphic...representations of bones getting broken and organs getting bruised. Don't watch this if you have a weak stomach.
40	* TheNapoleon: Kiichi.
41	* TheStoic: Oton's first half of personality.
42	* TrainingFromHell: Kiichi goes through this very frequently. In the first episode alone, [[spoiler:his own father KILLS HIM!]] [[spoiler:He gets better.]]
43	* TranquilFury: Oton's second half of personality.
44	* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Iron Kiba.
45	* WellDoneSonGuy: [[spoiler:Shingo the Reader's FreudianExcuse.]]
