Kentaro: "When I was a child, my father told me about a terrible phantom which appears only to those who follow the way of the warrior. When they begin to lose sight of their goals, and begin to doubt their own abilities, it appears. It is neither human nor furry, but some kind of formless mass controlling a demonic suit of armor.

They say the phantom appears in the dreams of the doubtful fighter, and fights them in their sleep, copying the techniques of every foe that same fighter has ever faced. The lucky are said to only escape with minor injuries. When Zhang defeated my father, did the phantom appear and defeat him? What am I saying? The phantom's nothing but a ghost story, right?"
