“All phenomena, in their own being, are empty.”
Tokyo Zombie performs some slow kata in a garden filled with bonsai and cherry blossom trees. Leaves and petals float around him as he moves. His shirtless form displays his muscles decorated by the Heart Sutra tattooed on his whole body.
“That is one of the most important teachings of The Way. It is also one of the most misunderstood. Some arrogant fools may believe this to mean that nothing truly exists. Therefore nothing matters. This is a view of destructive nihilism. The punks that we have seen on out Max Japan shows qould love this. It is complete misinformation and willful ignorance. This gives some the excuse to rage out at the world holding no guilt.”
Tokyo suddenly throws our two quick punches, then breathes out slowly. He continues flowing slowly.
“Some who misinterpret this view would think that now the Demon Brigade would be at a breaking point. We would have to face each other if this tournament takes its inevitable course, and we wind up on top. It would be ally against ally Tokyo vs GRIM va Zenki. Nothing matters so it would be no problem for us to tear each other apart, right? We would reach another wrong aspect of emptiness. Complete destruction.”
Tokyo apina his arms around in a circle, jumps ro throw a roundhouse kick, and lands in a stance. Then he relaxes.
“Self destruction would be seen by our enemies as the best outcome for this tournament. If we tear each other apart, our hold on Max Japan would grow loose, and all manner of evil will come into our nation. If there is nothing, then something must fill the void, correct? The gaijin, respectable and evil alike, have been trying to fill that void in Japan for a while now. Fortunately the Demon Brigade has stood fast against such an invasion. We keep our bonds strong for if it were lost, it will all be lost. This J1 Summit has brought that possibility to the surface of their wildest dreams. We have enough wild men going wild in our nation as our own countrymen act out for selfish glory. This is our time to be destroyed. I admit that I am looking forward to facing them. GRIM and Lord Zenki are among the toughest fighters in the world. What kind of warrior would I be if I did not wish to test myself against them? The dragon must always fight the tiger.
“If I must cut through all manner of adversary to get to them, then that makes it more exciting. This is a most honorable challenge. I am also sure the zealots are brimming with anticipation to see how the objects of their devotion measure up against each other. We are only as strong as each other. This will be steel sharpening steel. The question remains: will this cause a break?”
Tokyo smiles a bit, and sits down in front of a low table. He takes picks up a cup, turns it clockwise twice with his other hand, and drinks.
“Now we get to the true essence of emptiness. Emptiness is form. Form is emptiness. We are all our own individual presence, yet we are all one. Tokyo is not GRIM is not Lord Zenki. Yet we are all Demon Brigade. We are all the expression of one seamless, connected existence. We are as you see us, three of the most formidable warriors of Japan. Together. We are also expressions of the spiritual ether hoping to be released from suffering and reach Nirvana. That is The Way. First we have some lands, and organizations to cleanse. This will be easier now that Max Japan is now more independent in its own right. Until the time comes all we can strive for is emptiness. We are connected through this tenet of the Heart Sutra. This is our strongest bond. We will do battle with this in mind. As long as you do not understand this fact, you will never defeat us. When you do… you will join us.
“ Together spiritually. Individual in style. Empty in the ether. The Demon Brigade returns to hold on to our kingdom. Max Japan, and the J1 summit is ours.”
