1
00:01:49,567 --> 00:01:55,198
Do you know of a man named Yujiro Hanma?

2
00:01:57,075 --> 00:01:58,118
<i>The Ogre?</i>

3
00:01:58,493 --> 00:02:00,495
Why do you bring up that name?

4
00:02:03,123 --> 00:02:06,167
<i>He deemed the gold medal</i>
<i>he himself attained as "worthless,"</i>

5
00:02:06,334 --> 00:02:08,837
<i>threw it in the river, and turned pro.</i>

6
00:02:11,131 --> 00:02:16,511
<i>He swore and cursed at his opponent</i>
<i>in an unprecedented performance,</i>

7
00:02:17,137 --> 00:02:19,764
<i>and danced to the front stage</i>
<i>of the media limelight.</i>

8
00:02:20,557 --> 00:02:24,269
<i>To top it off,</i>
<i>he said he would knock them out. And...</i>

9
00:02:30,441 --> 00:02:32,443
<i>made them all a reality.</i>

10
00:02:33,444 --> 00:02:38,074
<i>Draft evasion, his title stripped,</i>
<i>the black civil rights movement,</i>

11
00:02:38,658 --> 00:02:40,785
<i>his miraculous return to the throne.</i>

12
00:02:41,578 --> 00:02:44,164
<i>And again, made a comeback</i>
<i>to the throne for a third time.</i>

13
00:02:45,498 --> 00:02:48,585
<i>His countless legends are</i>
<i>beyond that of sports.</i>

14
00:02:49,085 --> 00:02:51,462
<i>He's become a living god.</i>

15
00:02:52,505 --> 00:02:56,301
<i>And now, the name of an unthinkable man,</i>
<i>from this man's mouth...</i>

16
00:02:58,636 --> 00:03:02,015
Why... do you bring up that name?

17
00:03:02,891 --> 00:03:06,769
YUJIRO HANMA

18
00:03:11,608 --> 00:03:13,693
On January 9th, 1976...

19
00:03:14,611 --> 00:03:17,363
I was in Japan.

20
00:03:18,907 --> 00:03:22,035
<i>The "god" quietly began to tell his story.</i>

21
00:03:23,620 --> 00:03:27,332
<i>I was there to make</i>
<i>the fight of a century reality.</i>

22
00:03:28,666 --> 00:03:32,378
<i>A mixed match against</i>
<i>the Japanese pro-wrestler, Antonio Igari.</i>

23
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,342
<i>At the time, I thought the performance</i>
<i>match would be just for show.</i>

24
00:03:38,176 --> 00:03:42,639
<i>But once I heard it would be a real fight</i>
<i>with no holds barred,</i>

25
00:03:43,139 --> 00:03:45,225
<i>I got serious, too.</i>

26
00:03:49,229 --> 00:03:52,857
<i>My training menu was no different</i>
<i>than that for a title match.</i>

27
00:04:04,202 --> 00:04:06,496
<i>I did my roadwork</i>
<i>in the middle of the night</i>

28
00:04:06,579 --> 00:04:07,538
<i>to avoid the media.</i>

29
00:04:08,623 --> 00:04:10,250
<i>The members were the same as usual.</i>

30
00:04:10,416 --> 00:04:15,046
<i>My strong sparring partners, including one</i>
<i>who later became a world champion.</i>

31
00:04:16,464 --> 00:04:18,007
<i>At about ten minutes in...</i>

32
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:23,012
<i>First, my white partner,</i>
<i>John Stander disappeared.</i>

33
00:04:24,347 --> 00:04:25,515
<i>At 15 minutes in...</i>

34
00:04:26,724 --> 00:04:29,143
<i>Jack Lennon disappeared next.</i>

35
00:04:30,228 --> 00:04:32,522
<i>At 20 minutes in...</i>

36
00:04:37,527 --> 00:04:39,445
<i>I realized something was wrong.</i>

37
00:04:51,249 --> 00:04:53,751
<i>The smell of a wild animal filled the air.</i>

38
00:04:54,460 --> 00:04:56,462
<i>We were in the middle of a city,</i>

39
00:04:56,587 --> 00:04:57,922
<i>but I truly feared</i>

40
00:04:58,006 --> 00:05:00,883
<i>that my friends were attacked</i>
<i>by a wild beast.</i>

41
00:05:02,802 --> 00:05:03,845
Hey, Champ.

42
00:05:12,770 --> 00:05:15,940
<i>The man that appeared was more</i>
<i>than some wild beast.</i>

43
00:05:17,442 --> 00:05:20,820
<i>His appearance was enough</i>
<i>for me to know...</i>

44
00:05:22,488 --> 00:05:25,908
<i>that this is the man</i>
<i>who made my friends disappear.</i>

45
00:05:31,622 --> 00:05:33,541
I've been wishing to meet you.

46
00:05:34,959 --> 00:05:39,964
<i>His presence was completely unlike that</i>
<i>of any of the opponents I'd fought.</i>

47
00:05:43,343 --> 00:05:47,221
<i>Even in the ring,</i>
<i>I hardly ever had my guard up.</i>

48
00:05:47,930 --> 00:05:50,558
<i>But for the first time,</i>
<i>I raised my guards.</i>

49
00:05:52,143 --> 00:05:53,853
<i>Float like a butterfly...</i>

50
00:05:57,940 --> 00:05:59,567
<i>Sting like a bee!</i>

51
00:06:01,235 --> 00:06:06,574
<i>In 1814, since modern boxing</i>
<i>first began to hail in England,</i>

52
00:06:07,575 --> 00:06:11,496
<i>I was the first to implement the no-guard</i>
<i>technique in my fighting.</i>

53
00:06:12,830 --> 00:06:13,998
<i>I didn't raise my guards.</i>

54
00:06:15,249 --> 00:06:17,752
<i>No matter what kind of a monster</i>
<i>I was up against.</i>

55
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:23,007
<i>That's how vast the difference was</i>
<i>between my opponents and me at the time.</i>

56
00:06:25,176 --> 00:06:27,512
<i>Do you understand now?</i>

57
00:06:28,096 --> 00:06:31,265
<i>The significance of me raising my guards?</i>

58
00:06:32,392 --> 00:06:35,061
<i>This man that appeared in the streets...</i>

59
00:06:35,728 --> 00:06:38,022
<i>That's how threatened I felt by him.</i>

60
00:06:41,901 --> 00:06:42,819
<i>That went in!</i>

61
00:06:44,028 --> 00:06:48,032
<i>A pro boxer like myself</i>
<i>could hardly mistake...</i>

62
00:06:49,992 --> 00:06:53,996
<i>that the performance he put on</i>
<i>was a far cry from the form of boxing.</i>

63
00:06:56,249 --> 00:06:57,875
<i>Can you even imagine?</i>

64
00:06:58,418 --> 00:07:00,169
<i>The techniques I'd spent</i>
<i>my entire life on...</i>

65
00:07:01,921 --> 00:07:03,381
<i>couldn't even touch him.</i>

66
00:07:14,267 --> 00:07:15,435
What do you want?

67
00:07:16,269 --> 00:07:18,146
What are your demands?

68
00:07:22,567 --> 00:07:23,860
Show me.

69
00:07:24,527 --> 00:07:27,989
Your true skill isn't boxing.

70
00:07:29,157 --> 00:07:30,283
In fact...

71
00:07:31,284 --> 00:07:35,288
Your goal never was
to become a heavy-weight champion!

72
00:07:39,584 --> 00:07:42,378
What... makes you think that?

73
00:07:45,631 --> 00:07:49,177
It's obvious
from your moving in the ring.

74
00:07:49,802 --> 00:07:51,471
That's not boxing.

75
00:07:51,888 --> 00:07:55,433
It's all encompassing, designed
to counter all kinds of attacks.

76
00:07:56,267 --> 00:07:57,810
In other words, a martial art.

77
00:08:03,065 --> 00:08:09,197
Renowned trainers from all over the world
couldn't even begin to imagine...

78
00:08:10,198 --> 00:08:11,407
My dream...

79
00:08:13,618 --> 00:08:14,535
But you...

80
00:08:16,704 --> 00:08:18,331
You're not even a boxer.

81
00:08:18,706 --> 00:08:22,502
Just an Asian man I met on the streets.
But you see through me.

82
00:08:24,587 --> 00:08:28,591
Seems we're about to start the real deal.

83
00:09:14,512 --> 00:09:19,308
You're like a different man now,
Champ.

84
00:09:20,059 --> 00:09:24,105
Now, <i>this</i> is martial arts, not boxing.

85
00:09:25,481 --> 00:09:26,315
Punch,

86
00:09:26,732 --> 00:09:27,567
strike,

87
00:09:27,984 --> 00:09:28,818
kick,

88
00:09:29,235 --> 00:09:30,069
grapple,

89
00:09:30,236 --> 00:09:31,070
slam,

90
00:09:31,654 --> 00:09:32,488
catch.

91
00:09:32,989 --> 00:09:36,117
An all-compatible fighting technique.

92
00:09:37,243 --> 00:09:38,578
You could call it...

93
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,373
the Muhammad Alai Mixed Martial Arts!

94
00:09:47,420 --> 00:09:48,337
But...

95
00:09:50,715 --> 00:09:53,009
unfortunately it's unfinished.

96
00:09:56,971 --> 00:10:00,683
Because of your draft evasion,
you were stripped of your title.

97
00:10:01,726 --> 00:10:03,728
That three year blank out,

98
00:10:04,061 --> 00:10:07,064
prevented the completion
of the Alai mixed martial arts.

99
00:10:15,906 --> 00:10:16,991
What?!

100
00:10:18,492 --> 00:10:19,869
But that's exactly why!

101
00:10:31,047 --> 00:10:33,758
It's because of
those three and a half years...

102
00:10:35,051 --> 00:10:36,427
That is why...

103
00:10:38,638 --> 00:10:41,599
world heavy weight champion,
Muhammad Alai...

104
00:10:42,725 --> 00:10:44,268
I respect you,

105
00:10:49,065 --> 00:10:52,902
Even though I am obviously weaker
than you?

106
00:10:54,487 --> 00:10:57,907
Even though you're obviously weaker
than me.

107
00:11:03,245 --> 00:11:06,791
You fought against the system
for the underprivileged blacks.

108
00:11:09,210 --> 00:11:12,672
You fought against the nation
for the the injured vets.

109
00:11:13,923 --> 00:11:17,259
You fought on behalf of all the weak.

110
00:11:18,678 --> 00:11:22,056
You bring hope to the powerless!

111
00:11:25,851 --> 00:11:27,311
That's nice to hear...

112
00:11:28,312 --> 00:11:29,522
It's nice to hear...

113
00:11:30,606 --> 00:11:32,066
but I feel despondent.

114
00:11:32,650 --> 00:11:37,029
Thanks to your sheer strength,
and my own weakness.

115
00:11:38,989 --> 00:11:40,491
I hate to lose, you know.

116
00:11:50,251 --> 00:11:52,670
There's always hopelessness in conflict.

117
00:11:54,422 --> 00:11:58,509
A champion out of prison
with 40 cm diameter fists.

118
00:11:59,051 --> 00:12:01,387
He was known as the world's strongest.

119
00:12:02,221 --> 00:12:05,558
A young gold medalist
whose rushing power was so great,

120
00:12:05,683 --> 00:12:09,061
he was known as
"the man who can't retreat."

121
00:12:10,187 --> 00:12:12,314
He fought until the final round...

122
00:12:12,773 --> 00:12:15,443
even after his jaw was crushed
in the second.

123
00:12:16,068 --> 00:12:18,320
It was said his punch could
knock out an elephant.

124
00:12:18,612 --> 00:12:20,573
This young and colossal champion,

125
00:12:21,198 --> 00:12:23,617
he too, was known as
"the world's strongest."

126
00:12:24,368 --> 00:12:27,705
Racial discrimination... a nation...

127
00:12:28,289 --> 00:12:30,541
Neither are simple enemies.

128
00:12:31,917 --> 00:12:35,838
It's not your fighting technique
that's great, it's your soul!

129
00:12:36,464 --> 00:12:38,340
Even with a nation as an opponent,
you didn't bend.

130
00:12:38,758 --> 00:12:41,010
It's your soul that's great!

131
00:12:43,929 --> 00:12:45,931
What is your dream?

132
00:12:48,267 --> 00:12:49,268
Power!

133
00:12:50,227 --> 00:12:51,395
How much?

134
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,650
The strongest on planet Earth.

135
00:12:57,401 --> 00:12:59,653
By that, do you mean political power?

136
00:12:59,862 --> 00:13:01,030
No.

137
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:05,075
I'm not talking about anything as complex
as financial or political power.

138
00:13:05,534 --> 00:13:08,662
I'm talking about simple,
physical, fighting power,

139
00:13:09,622 --> 00:13:11,957
a country's military power
would stand no chance.

140
00:13:12,041 --> 00:13:15,878
Definitive fighting power with only
my own five sense as the criteria.

141
00:13:20,049 --> 00:13:21,425
Just the fact...

142
00:13:21,842 --> 00:13:26,055
Just the fact that there is a man
before me who truly thinks that way...

143
00:13:26,347 --> 00:13:28,349
is shocking to me.

144
00:13:30,434 --> 00:13:32,436
Please, come meet my son!

145
00:13:33,813 --> 00:13:36,857
GIFU PREFECTURE, HIDA MOUNTAINS

146
00:13:41,612 --> 00:13:42,571
Baki.

147
00:13:43,364 --> 00:13:45,533
Thanks for having us, Ando.

148
00:13:46,534 --> 00:13:47,993
<i>Reichi Ando.</i>

149
00:13:48,744 --> 00:13:52,122
<i>A mountain ranger who lives alone</i>
<i>deep in the Hida Mountains,</i>

150
00:13:52,748 --> 00:13:55,459
<i>and a warrior who can kill</i>
<i>a black bear with his bare hands.</i>

151
00:13:55,793 --> 00:13:58,379
<i>Baki has known him since he was young.</i>

152
00:14:00,381 --> 00:14:02,424
Baki... you...

153
00:14:03,843 --> 00:14:05,636
I lost a little weight.

154
00:14:06,887 --> 00:14:08,597
Take off your shirt.

155
00:14:35,791 --> 00:14:36,959
The work of poison.

156
00:14:38,210 --> 00:14:39,503
A natural one, right?

157
00:14:40,087 --> 00:14:43,674
A poison from a natural source. And...

158
00:14:44,717 --> 00:14:46,218
There's no hospital cure.

159
00:14:49,638 --> 00:14:51,348
Take a seat there.

160
00:15:14,330 --> 00:15:15,372
Take it easy.

161
00:15:17,833 --> 00:15:20,127
Maybe we can go fishing for some Char.

162
00:15:21,211 --> 00:15:23,631
Stay and rest for as long as you want.

163
00:15:28,969 --> 00:15:31,347
Thank you, Ando.

164
00:15:42,566 --> 00:15:43,734
It's bitter.

165
00:15:56,622 --> 00:15:57,498
Gross.

166
00:16:35,119 --> 00:16:36,203
Baki...

167
00:16:39,289 --> 00:16:41,041
you came too late.

168
00:16:45,379 --> 00:16:46,463
This is my son.

169
00:16:50,968 --> 00:16:52,011
Or rather...

170
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,930
he is my dream.

171
00:16:57,182 --> 00:16:58,726
It's just like you said.

172
00:17:00,477 --> 00:17:03,647
The fighting style
I was trying to perfect,

173
00:17:05,524 --> 00:17:08,360
wasn't one
that only worked against boxing.

174
00:17:19,329 --> 00:17:20,956
A perfect freestyle.

175
00:17:21,707 --> 00:17:24,918
A punch, kick, or grapple.

176
00:17:25,711 --> 00:17:28,672
A fighting style than can work
in any situation.

177
00:17:30,215 --> 00:17:33,427
My defense has
very few close-range techniques,

178
00:17:33,510 --> 00:17:35,012
like blocks and ducks.

179
00:17:35,846 --> 00:17:42,061
I use step-backs and sway-backs much more
because these two defensive techniques,

180
00:17:42,394 --> 00:17:46,648
can counter not only punches but
various other types of attacks as well.

181
00:17:47,900 --> 00:17:48,776
But...

182
00:17:50,027 --> 00:17:53,822
But after your three year blank out
because of the draft evasion,

183
00:17:53,989 --> 00:17:55,908
you lost your footwork.

184
00:17:56,950 --> 00:17:59,369
As highlighted in your match in Kinshasa,

185
00:17:59,953 --> 00:18:04,792
your fighting style changed to that
of blocking and the rope-a-dope tactic.

186
00:18:06,001 --> 00:18:07,294
It's just as you say.

187
00:18:08,796 --> 00:18:14,760
In the end, the style I was searching
for myself, was only an illusion.

188
00:18:15,552 --> 00:18:17,137
Do you find shame in that?

189
00:18:52,965 --> 00:18:53,882
No crying!

190
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,847
I've spread my seed all over the world.

191
00:19:00,430 --> 00:19:03,809
He'll make a good friend for those brats.

192
00:19:05,769 --> 00:19:07,312
That was a good fight.

193
00:19:27,666 --> 00:19:28,584
We made it.

194
00:19:51,398 --> 00:19:52,774
It's been four years.

195
00:19:55,903 --> 00:19:57,821
Peking primitives?

196
00:19:59,239 --> 00:20:00,782
This is Japan.

197
00:20:04,203 --> 00:20:09,708
I made a promise here,
that I wouldn't lose to anyone anymore.

198
00:20:11,543 --> 00:20:16,006
But how many times
have I lost up until today.

199
00:20:17,466 --> 00:20:18,550
And now...

200
00:20:19,509 --> 00:20:24,890
I'm about to suffer the most serious,
biggest defeat of all.

201
00:20:32,356 --> 00:20:34,441
Hey, long time no see.

202
00:20:41,365 --> 00:20:43,283
Have you forgotten, Kozue?

203
00:20:43,951 --> 00:20:46,578
He was a contender
in the Maximum Tournament.

204
00:20:48,705 --> 00:20:50,040
<i>Yasha-Zaru Jr.</i>

205
00:20:50,582 --> 00:20:54,544
<i>A mysterious giant ape that's lived in the</i>
<i>mountains of Hida since ancient times.</i>

206
00:20:55,170 --> 00:20:58,048
<i>His parents were killed by Yujiro,</i>

207
00:20:58,465 --> 00:21:03,345
<i>but he feels a connection with Baki</i>
<i>who has sworn to avenge them.</i>

208
00:21:22,322 --> 00:21:23,156
Huh?

209
00:21:25,325 --> 00:21:26,493
You've got a guest.

210
00:21:31,039 --> 00:21:32,291
Retsu!

211
00:21:32,833 --> 00:21:34,167
Why are you here?

212
00:21:35,002 --> 00:21:37,713
It's because you've worried him.

213
00:21:38,380 --> 00:21:39,339
I'm sorry.

214
00:21:40,465 --> 00:21:41,341
But...

215
00:21:42,551 --> 00:21:43,385
I'm glad to see you.

216
00:21:56,565 --> 00:21:57,482
Baki!

217
00:22:00,569 --> 00:22:02,446
Please leave the rest to me.

218
00:22:02,988 --> 00:22:04,448
Please do what you can.

219
00:22:04,990 --> 00:22:05,949
Wait a second!

220
00:22:16,084 --> 00:22:20,380
