Mnemonic

You're running out of steam and you're afraid you might not be able to detain all of these guys when Ryu (りゅう) from Street Fighter appears. He hates swords, and will only use fists because it's the honorable way to fight, so he starts helping you detain them!

He's also found a loophole () in the system and you don't have to be super gentle with these guys either. So detain them as forcefully as you want. It is your rice paddy they're in, after all.
