Episode 8 - Unbroken: The Phoenix Grandmaster
In this episode, Matsukawa, master of a Japanese martial arts dojo, leads his followers to forcibly barge into the Chen Family Martial Arts Dojo, ostensibly to "exchange pointers" but actually to provoke. Facing Chen Kaijia, who is disabled in both legs, Matsukawa subjects him to extreme verbal humiliation and orders his subordinates to wreck the dojo. Amid the chaos, Matsukawa snatches and mocks the Chen family's prized first family portrait, maliciously cursing the little girl in the photo—a young Chen Liangyu—as dead. This act stirs up Chen Liangyu's nostalgic memories of a warm family life. Desperate to retrieve the photo, which symbolizes the family never being separated, Chen's mother, Chu Zhaoyi, leaps to grab it, only to be sneakily attacked from behind by Matsukawa, leaving her severely injured and coughing up blood. Witnessing her mother insulted and hurt, the long-enduring Chen Liangyu reveals a murderous gaze, as a full-scale explosion of family vengeance is about to unfold.
