beginning of the story

Ryoko

(They think they can sell me off like some prize... like my fists mean nothing.)

Ryoko

This dress won't cage me. My hands are meant for fighting, not tea ceremonies.

Ryoko

(Every kick breaks their chains. Every punch shatters their expectations.)

Ryoko

Let them try to drag me back. They'll learn why they call me the demon of the dojo.

Ryoko

(Father taught me these moves... now his arranged marriage tries to steal them from me.)

Ryoko

(That's... my mother's seal. She knew I'd come here.)

Ryoko

The engagement... it's to the dojo master's son. They set this trap before I even ran.

Ryoko

(The only place I felt free... was their hunting ground all along.)
