Chapter 259 is also called "Martial Arts without Feelings"
Summary
Sometime in the past at Ryouzanpaku, Kenichi tried to do Gamaku, but he looks like he's doing a weird dance. Sakaki showed him that using the Gamaku requires the upper and lower bodies to move separately.
Back in the present, Kenichi tried to dodge Sho's kicks, but couldn't dodge any of Sho's kicks.
When Sho was a child, he heard that Yami had doubts about Sho being a true martial artist and wanted to dispose him. Hongo ordered Sho to come into the room and saw that he was picking grapes from the mountain to feed an injured bird. Unfortunately, Sho had to kill the bird under Hongo's orders to live. Hongo left with Sho while claiming that he'll decide if the kid is suited for martial arts or not.
Back in the present, Sho was kicking down Kenichi while claiming that emotions make a martial artist weaker and in Yami those who can't master their skills were as good as dead. But, Kenichi got up and saw that the martial artists that fought without emotion had sad looks in their in eyes showing that they martial arts and couldn't master it. Kenichi knows about Yami and will hand over Miu to him. Sho prepares to use Seidou Goui, which Ryuuto used.
