It is said that his family has overthrown governments and started revolts. For this, they have named the Head of the Strolheim Family, "The Emperor of Darkness" and Wolfgang Krauser was the best to have came out of the family. Later, Mai eavesdrop on Master Jubei's story. Master Jubei also told Andy and Joe that Wolfgang Krauser killed his own father on his 16th birthday just to be head of the family.

Back in Krauser mansion, Krauser thinks about his father, about the day he beaten up by him as a child and that day that his tears ran dry. He also remembered on his 16th birthday, when he killed his father in hand-to-hand combat. He felt nothing after his death.

Back at Master Jubei's dojo, Master Jubei tells both Andy and Joe not to get involved with Wolfgang Krauser, but Andy angered by his brothers defeat refuses to listen. Even Mai does not want him to go. And for this, Master Jubei challenges Andy for leaving the dojo. If Andy won the match, he may leave but if he lost, he had to continue his training. Andy won the match and left with Joe to seek revenge for his brother's defeat. Master Jubei asked Mai to go with him and to make sure that he does not fight Krauser.
