After her fight with Ryu, the publicity attracts a swarm of potential students to her dojo. She also finds Ryu and challenges him to enhance her dojo's reputation. Makoto develops something of a rivalry with kunoichi Ibuki, as shown by their alternate opening when they fight each other. She decides to rebuild her father's dojo by hand, and make money the old-fashioned way. In her ending, she says that she "beats the pants off" of all her opponents - however, she didn't win any money since the tournament sponsor, Seth was killed by Juri and S.I.N. During the tournament, she encounters and fights Fei Long in the hopes that the publicity will enhance Rindo-kan's reputation. ![]() Makoto is horrified to discover the decrepit state the dojo is in and enters S.I.N.'s tournament in order to win money to renovate it.
