The suspicious mind conjures its own demons

A few days after 2nd Impact we catch up with Shintaro Majima, who is still greatly displeased that he was on the verge of claiming the Number One Contendership for the Apex Championship, only to have Terrence Tillman steal the victory and the guaranteed shot at Nest with it
A few weeks ago I said that the arrogant fool was not the hero that he spends far too long telling everyone he is, and people laughed, They dismissed what I said, they called me jealous, and yet once again they proved themselves to be a waste of skin. If anyone is still believing the fiction he tells, I will ask a simple question: do you believe that a hero stands his ground and fights for every victory, or does a hero steal the scraps from under the nose of the person who has earned the victory tenfold?
Majima looks straight at the camera, almost daring the viewer to say it's the second option, before he continues
Perhaps more people should listen to me, rather than what they are told to believe. They might understand the truth more readily when they hear it, rather than deny it.
There's a brief pause as Majima once again looks at the camera, making sure he gets his point across, before he continues
As much as I will enjoy watching the arrogant fool fail, spending the next month or so doing that and that alone is a waste of my time and effort. jealous people enjoy watching others fail, while I am no jealous person - I am just looking forward to my vindication. Yet I should not lose my focus, as I have my own career to concern myself with, and my priority is Hana Song.
Majima places his index fingers under his chin for a moment as he considers his next few words, before he continues
There is one thing that she said that I just cannot get out of my mind: she says I lack the killer instinct to finish my opponents, and it is hard to deny this. For example, looking back to 2nd Impact, I destroyed the arrogant fool the second I set foot in the ring, but somebody interfered to prevent my victory. And when I had the ignorant brat defeated, again the victory was taken from me. I may have had one opponent defeated, but the other four were not, and they cost me victory time and again. The only logical solution would be to defeat all five opponents until none were left, and I failed at this task.
There is one difference between that match and this, though. There are not four opponents looking to save the match for themselves, so there is nobody who is going to save you Hana Song.
Majima looks directly into the camera
You and I may have entered Lion's Den at the same time, but there is a difference between you and I that cannot be ignored: you have taken aim at those soft competitors that you hate and have beaten them easily, while I have spent my time looking for an opponent who can match me - and to date, that is not what I have found. Instead I have found a man who calls himself Butcher but I made mincemeat of him, I have found people who steal victories that they cannot earn, and I have found people who fall apart once they are defeated. I have looked for opponents who are supposed to be the best of the best, and I reduce them to nothing. That does not compare with choosing somebody you know you can pick apart at will, as there is no challenge.
This time, Hana Song, you will be facing an opponent who can not only fight back, but leave an opponent unable to fight the match they wanted. I am no Annie Zellor or Bree Nelson - they were made of flesh and bone, but I am made of steel. They can be bent and broken, but I will not - you will find that, no matter what you throw at me, I will withstand it and I will push back. And when I push back, you will discover whether or not you are as soft as those opponents you have already beaten.
What I can say, with certainty, is that I will raise my intensity another level in order to prove why I am everything the arrogant fool says he is not, and I will leave a pile of broken bodies in my wake. And what better way of proving this than to behead the adder that has bitten so many? Who can argue when I have done what so many have not?
