Mmm, crispy porkchops :P

Moving on, here's a little summary of the Fighting Champions (1992) plot To give that ending some context.

The final boss of Fighting Champions was Oni, the then-defending champion of the World Tournament Fighter and henchman of the feared crime lord known as Master Z, who wore a demon mask and was shirtless, and only wore black gi pants and handwraps.

Our lead character, Genzo, grew up alongside his father Taizo, who teached him martial arts, and his mother Noriko, who took care of him after Taizo left when he was just 11. He also had a younger sister, Ryoko.

One day, his otherwise-peaceful family was attacked by Master Z's gang, which ended with Noriko killed and Ryoko kidnapped. Genzo tried to fight the goons, but was knocked out almost immediately, with the last thing he saw being that of Oni taking Ryoko away. Thus, Genzo decides to enter the World of Fighting tournament to rescue Ryoko and take down Z's gang as revenge for them killing Noriko.

On the final stage of the tournament, Genzo fought Oni in a match to the death. It was a neck-and-neck battle, but ultimately, Genzo won.

Genzo was about to unleash the killing blow on a severly weakened Oni, when he decided to remove Oni's mask, revealing that "Oni" was actually none other than his long-lost father Taizo, who joined Master Z since he was the only one who can afford the cure for his disease. It turns out that he also wanted his son to kill him for the atrocities he did, and because his disease was killing him as well.

Before passing away, he asked Genzo to forgive him for his atrocities, explaining everything to him and why he sided with Z in the first place. A teary-eyed Genzo accepts his apology, and, shortly after, Taizo dies in his arms.
