Ken Kitano moves to South Korea with very little in the way of a plan. All he knows is that the girl of his dreams has come to Korea to become a police officer, and he's followed her here in the hopes he can make something of himself. Instead, he falls in with a gang and finds himself the leader. His main goal as the head of this gang is to fight for the little guy, to protect those in need from much larger, eviler gangs, and to use his strength as a force for good. Meanwhile, he keeps running into his crush at the most inopportune times.

Riftan returns from the celebration in the capital to find foreign soldiers trying to penetrate his walls. His advisors manage to barely escape international incident as Riftan’s temper and protectiveness for Maxi threatens to escalate the entire situation. As tensions ease, Riftan is finally able to show Maxi all of the gifts he’s brought from the capital, including a beautiful new horse that she uses to join him on rides across Anatol. Maxi begins studying with Ruth and helping him with creating magical devices for protecting Anatol, as she has magical affinity and is literate. She continues to fear that someone will discover that she is a fraud of a noblewoman, incapable of leading people or being the head of a household. 
An up-and-coming fighter follows his master, Doppo, to the Tokyo Dome where they are intercepted by a Noble Elder from the Tokugawa family who has a fondness for Doppo. They all proceed down a hidden elevator to a secret sixth floor basement where a prestigious and elicit fighting ring was built centuries ago, and over which Baki has been champion for many months. Baki is about to fight a fierce opponent, the notorious Cord-Cutter who has mastered a deadly karate style with sharp fingers perfect for targeting his opponent’s nerves and precise enough to cut them right out of their bodies.

After nearly dying from a car crash, high schooler George Lucas, who isn't the most studious, decides he’s going to turn his life around and attend college — but to study film. He turns some heads with a captivating science fiction short that earns awards, and he meets the acquaintance of Steven Spielberg and Francis Ford Coppola. Fresh out of college, George makes American Graffiti, which the studios don’t understand, but it lands with audiences and it provides him with enough seed money for another film project studios really can’t get behind: a larger-than-life, budget-busting science fiction epic with battle scenes, robots, tons of special effects, space magic, princesses, and laser swords. |
