During his journey, Kentaro has changed in strength and appearance. Orange fur has grown on certain parts of his body, and his facial features have become closer to a feline appearance, truely showing his half-tiger nature.

Continuing to don his father's hakkamori, or headband, he hopes he will honor his legacy. He remembers the training he had in his family's style of Karate, and the lessons in chi controltaught to him by his master, the late Tai-Fu Chen. Despite his victory, he can't help but fear that his arch-nemesis, Shenlong Zhang isn't dead, and is on guard always.
