It is hard to take you seriously. - vs C. Kennedy

11.12.19 Miami, Florida

*The video takes place on the backstage of one of the promotions with which Arata is associated. The man is sitting on the stairs, leaning forearms on his knees and slightly slouching. It is evident that he is several minutes from his match, as he is wearing a characteristic gear ring composed of wrestling boots and black leather pants. He is also wearing a black hoodie with the inscription "The Shadow Empire". Next to the Japanese lies the ALPHA Tag Team Championship, while on his shoulder the Wrestleworld Shogun Championship is visible, which clearly indicates that this is a message directed not only to the Wrestleworld Universe, but also to his future opponent, Chad Kennedy. Before Arata says anything, he looks with a cocky smile at his championship belt and taps it with his fingers and then directs his eyes towards the camera.*

Many people might think that I have already said everything, but the truth is that I have the impression that I didn't pay to Chad as much attention as I should, or at least not as much as he would like it from me. Well, I am not a charity to fulfill his wishes, but on the other hand I understand how it is when someone ignores you. This is not a cool feeling, and because of the emotions that accompanied me during Chapter 5, I forgot about it a little. However, I don't think anyone is surprised. I guess I have a little more on my mind than worrying about this boy's feelings (The man snorts sarcastically) You see, I know that you all consider me to be this honorable guy and maybe all I said about Chad and what I am going to say will be against it, but it seems to me that it is obvious that there are no people who are one hundred percent pure. Well, maybe Nobi, but this is one case per million. However, what I want to say by this is that I'm not going to describe myself as a good or bad man, because all my life I'm somewhere in the middle.

You see yourself, being honorable doesn't mean being naively stupid. Some time ago I learned that I had to break the barrier between being fair and allowing to treat me as they want, because it is not proper to behave in one way or another. Only that, even if I am aware of it, problems come from all sides, even if it is not serious. However, the difference between what was once and what is now is that I'm not going to keep my tongue behind my teeth. I'm not going to let everyone do what they want with impunity. And as you all probably noticed, I am already tired of all this shit with Senn, and what's more I have on my head Chad, who thinks he can demand something he doesn't deserve. And as I told you a few days ago, Kennedy...You have no right to want anything from me, and the fact that this match will take place is solely my good will. However, you know what amuses me the most? While I can understand that Jacob Senn has too big ego, as he is a well-known name in this industry, I still can't figure out why you think you have the right to behave like that. As you have already heard from me, you are just nothing important, so instead of barking you should do something to gain any value, but by this I don't mean behaving like a child, because I cannot describe your attack on me otherwise. You just sticked your nose in the matters that have nothing to do with you and started accusing me of stealing your mentor..that you should be his partner and blah, blah, blah...Do you even hear what you say? Don't you see how groundless and pretentious it sounds? Answer these questions and then you may eventually understand why Jacob rejects you. He rejects you, because you are taking his space, and that is not how it should work, Chad. He is here to help you find yourself in this brutal industry, not to hold your hand all the time. You see, he's not the only one who has a student, I also have. And even though she is younger than you, she understands how this relationship works. She understands that she has to manage herself and I will not always watch her back. And because this kid got it, she is in the championship fight, she earned herself, not which she got out of pity as you did, Chad. Until you figure it out, people will never change their opinion about you.

*Arata interrupts his speech and sighs heavily. Deep down, he feels a bit sad that Kennedy is such a helpless person.*

You shouted in my face that you are fed up with the fact that people do not take you seriously...But you must understand that it is difficult to do it and it is not only about achievements, because it is a little different aspects, but just behavior. As we have already established, you behave like a spoiled kid, which is why people treat you in an infantile way. But can you change it? Behavior is a matter of mentality, and yours leaves much to be desired. You see, we're in a similar age, but our level of maturity is completely different. Although I want to believe that what affects on it, is the place where we grow up. I just had to understand some things faster, when you got everything under your breath, but keeping someone in a golden cage just leads to this helplessness. And although you won't admit it, I know you feel that you need someone who will notoriously take care of you. You need it because you're used to it, that you don't have to do anything yourself, but in this business it is difficult to have a loved one to look after you. Very often it is a long and lonely road that only the strongest will survive. And you? You have no chance, Chad.

*A short, pitiful laugh comes out from the man's mouth.*

You don't even have a chance of surviving this match against me...Apart from your weakness mentality, you're just not at my level. And if you saw something more than the tip of your nose, you would know it. Hmm...I'm starting to believe that you and Senn have something in common (The Japanese laughs again and combs his hair with his fingers) But returning to what I started, it's not a secret that I'm better than you. If anyone has eyes they can see that everything leads to it. Actually, it is enough to look at me in the ring...it is enough to look at my list of achievements, that I did in such a short time, to notice that I am one of the hottest young superstars in this business and the real money maker, when you are just a pain in the ass that values yourself ​​more than it is in reality.

*Arata wipes his face with his hands and then looks into the camera lens again.*

I have to admit that this game with you is a bit tiring, because you understand it or not, but I'm a busy man. However, you see, all the time in the back of my head I have the thought that I want to still develop and that is why I work so much on myself. I've never liked to limit myself and that's why I'm in the position you would like to be. I created the best version of myself, or so I thought. Because you know, Chad, I can't stop and even if it's a curse sometimes, it makes me a stronger person. You can say that I have everything..money..two titles...keys to the kingdom. But this is not enough for me, because I still want to deepen my legacy. However, to build it, I can't afford to make a lose. Therefore, despite your efforts, the Shogun Championship will not change hands. It will not change hands, because I still have a lot to do with this belt and to be honest this title needs someone like me.

I don't know if you remember, but I promised that I would help build this new world, and I always keep my word, so we can say that our match is just a brick that I will put to build this empire. And although I consider it a formality, I hope that you show that you are worth listening to all these accusations in my direction...I hope you show that you don't waste my time and energy. And what I have to tell you at the end is that no matter what happens during Drake & Jones Games between me and Senn, our match will take place although I would spit blood. If you want to be taken seriously, I'm going to show you how serious treatment looks like, and this lesson will definitely be useful for you in the future. However, I don't intend to think about what will happen one day, because we live here and now, and this is my time, not yours.
