*A vignette plays, showing a plane land at the airport. As people are scrambling out around the lobby, the last person to get off is Japanese mixed martial artist, Ikuhisa Minowa with suitcase in hand and his passport in another. He takes one look at his passport, then over to the American flag which waves proudly. After a long pause, he nods and starts walking down the lobby as "Boukyaku no Tsubasa" by Haruka Shimotsuki begins to play. A voice over is suddenly heard.*
"Everyday...I strive to be to be the best...."
*Clips show Minowa trying to race a plane, hurdling against the harsh waves of the oceans, and sprinting down the streets of Gifu with a sack of grain over his back. "One Minute in Heaven" by Sunbeam cuts in.*
Hour per hour...24/7...
"I stand before my people..."
*Clips show Minowa in DREAM, standing on the entrance stage, staring at the arena of people chanting his name.*
One second...a blink...one minute in Heaven...
"....and do the impossible."
*Clips now show Minowa dropkicking Butterbean in the face, successfully locking in a Heel Hook on Bob Sapp, and almost knocking Hong Man Choi off his feet with a vicious right hand to the face.*
Hour per hour...24/7...
"But even if that isn't enough...."
*Clips show Minowa being dropped on his head with a German Suplex by Katsuyori Shibata, tapping to a heel hook by Masakatsu Funaki, and being kicked repeatedly in the head by Phil Baroni as he tries to cover up.*
One second...a blink...one minute...
"I get right back up and let everyone know that I have pride...I have skill...I have kinniku..."
...In Heaven!
*Clips show Minowa taking Phil Baroni to the limit, knocking out Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou with strikes, and Minowa proudly holding up the Super Hulk Championship in the air with tears streaming down his face.*
"...I am...King of Kinniku...I am Minowaman..."
*Clip now shows Minowa standing in the middle of the airport with fist in the air as people walk past him, staring.*
...In Heaven!
