1
00:01:42,393 --> 00:01:44,437
We'll finish things with no gloves.

2
00:01:46,523 --> 00:01:48,691
Are you ready?

3
00:01:49,442 --> 00:01:52,278
Wait Dad, that's silly.

4
00:01:52,362 --> 00:01:55,698
You haven't seen your son in so long,
yet you want a fight?

5
00:01:55,782 --> 00:01:58,201
It's because we're father and son.

6
00:01:58,284 --> 00:02:01,204
Five years ago, I had a shameful defeat.

7
00:02:02,497 --> 00:02:07,293
<i>In my entire career, my first ten-count</i>
<i>was at the hands of my own son.</i>

8
00:02:07,794 --> 00:02:11,714
You were still an inexperienced teen.

9
00:02:12,298 --> 00:02:13,925
You're being unreasonable.

10
00:02:14,008 --> 00:02:17,720
You were already past 50 at the time.

11
00:02:18,346 --> 00:02:22,225
Age doesn't matter
when people exchange punches.

12
00:02:23,184 --> 00:02:25,478
That's even more true with father and son.

13
00:02:26,062 --> 00:02:28,982
It just means
I was neglecting my training.

14
00:02:29,065 --> 00:02:32,902
So does that mean you've been training?

15
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,323
It had been a while since I last trained.

16
00:02:38,533 --> 00:02:43,246
<i>There were two-kilo work boots collecting</i>
<i>dust in the back of the storehouse.</i>

17
00:02:43,830 --> 00:02:47,083
<i>Rather than roadwork, I had to roadwalk.</i>

18
00:02:47,625 --> 00:02:50,086
<i>I had to start from walking.</i>

19
00:02:51,171 --> 00:02:55,508
<i>It took three months, an entire season,</i>
<i>to start running.</i>

20
00:02:56,467 --> 00:02:57,510
<i>The sandbag,</i>

21
00:02:58,636 --> 00:02:59,762
<i>punching ball,</i>

22
00:03:00,597 --> 00:03:02,015
<i>and jump rope...</i>

23
00:03:03,433 --> 00:03:06,227
<i>I finally sparred</i>
<i>with experienced partners</i>

24
00:03:06,728 --> 00:03:11,524
<i>after 18 months, or a year and a half,</i>
<i>since I started walking.</i>

25
00:03:12,108 --> 00:03:13,985
You're even sparring now?

26
00:03:15,111 --> 00:03:18,781
It took nine times longer than
when I was active though.

27
00:03:20,450 --> 00:03:21,826
What a long time.

28
00:03:23,494 --> 00:03:24,537
But, Dad.

29
00:03:25,246 --> 00:03:29,125
Unfortunately, I'm not in good condition.

30
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,050
It is indeed unfortunate, that my son...

31
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,053
is this much of a chicken.

32
00:03:41,638 --> 00:03:43,765
You're afraid of an old man

33
00:03:44,224 --> 00:03:49,062
who is in his 60's, and has been
diagnosed with many illnesses.

34
00:03:49,646 --> 00:03:51,397
What is martial arts?

35
00:03:54,484 --> 00:03:57,237
<i>It doesn't matter who, when, or where.</i>

36
00:03:57,779 --> 00:04:00,865
That's what martial arts is in Japan.

37
00:04:01,199 --> 00:04:04,702
Wasn't that what you were striving for?

38
00:04:05,870 --> 00:04:09,082
Yet you have the nerve to
talk about your condition.

39
00:04:10,333 --> 00:04:11,709
How shameful!

40
00:04:14,087 --> 00:04:15,213
Go back to your room.

41
00:04:15,922 --> 00:04:21,219
I didn't waste these past five years
to fight with a chicken.

42
00:04:21,803 --> 00:04:22,971
Leave!

43
00:04:24,722 --> 00:04:25,974
Please, wait.

44
00:04:27,141 --> 00:04:28,559
I'll do it.

45
00:04:30,561 --> 00:04:32,855
I'll fight you right here.

46
00:04:36,567 --> 00:04:37,735
Is that so?

47
00:04:38,319 --> 00:04:39,779
Don't call me a chicken.

48
00:04:40,154 --> 00:04:43,741
How rare of you to say such a manly thing.

49
00:04:46,661 --> 00:04:47,745
<i>Don't call me a chicken.</i>

50
00:04:49,831 --> 00:04:50,748
<i>Don't say it.</i>

51
00:04:51,457 --> 00:04:54,585
<i>I won't let you ever call me a chicken!</i>

52
00:05:06,222 --> 00:05:08,683
<i>The finest soup made by a first-rate chef</i>

53
00:05:09,142 --> 00:05:10,935
<i>is said to be eloquent.</i>

54
00:05:11,019 --> 00:05:16,024
<i>With one spoonful, you can picture</i>
<i>the abundant ingredients in a big pot.</i>

55
00:05:21,487 --> 00:05:22,530
<i>How eloquent.</i>

56
00:05:23,865 --> 00:05:26,034
<i>What an eloquent punch that was.</i>

57
00:05:27,493 --> 00:05:29,787
<i>His supposedly elderly father</i>

58
00:05:29,871 --> 00:05:33,541
<i>had such a cruel, rigorous five years.</i>

59
00:05:34,334 --> 00:05:38,296
<i>His punch tells a story</i>
<i>of how much he has sweat,</i>

60
00:05:39,672 --> 00:05:42,884
<i>and that single blow</i>
<i>more than makes up for his troubles.</i>

61
00:05:44,344 --> 00:05:45,553
Amazing.

62
00:05:45,636 --> 00:05:48,056
Dad, you're amazing.

63
00:05:48,639 --> 00:05:51,059
With that one punch, I truly understand.

64
00:05:52,101 --> 00:05:54,312
It's not complete though.

65
00:05:54,896 --> 00:05:57,565
I'm still far from fighting 15 rounds.

66
00:05:57,648 --> 00:05:58,816
But...

67
00:05:59,567 --> 00:06:03,029
this is more than enough to educate you.

68
00:06:35,144 --> 00:06:36,354
<i>I should be faster.</i>

69
00:06:43,528 --> 00:06:44,612
<i>I should be stronger.</i>

70
00:06:50,993 --> 00:06:54,205
<i>I should be better at everything.</i>

71
00:06:54,705 --> 00:06:57,583
You're too young, too slow.

72
00:06:58,459 --> 00:07:00,920
And you're astonishingly weak.

73
00:07:08,678 --> 00:07:09,637
It's over.

74
00:07:14,559 --> 00:07:16,519
Carry him to my room.

75
00:07:16,602 --> 00:07:17,645
Yes, sir.

76
00:07:31,868 --> 00:07:33,161
What are you thinking?

77
00:07:34,162 --> 00:07:35,663
Do you hate it now?

78
00:07:37,248 --> 00:07:39,709
You lost four fights in a row.

79
00:07:40,168 --> 00:07:41,669
It's understandable.

80
00:07:43,546 --> 00:07:45,673
So you know after all.

81
00:07:46,382 --> 00:07:50,636
The man who controls the underground
fighting world in this country

82
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,680
is a big fan of mine.

83
00:07:53,097 --> 00:07:55,516
He told me that three big names

84
00:07:55,683 --> 00:07:59,187
in the underground scene
gave you a thorough beating.

85
00:08:00,313 --> 00:08:01,314
<i>Jack Hanma.</i>

86
00:08:02,064 --> 00:08:03,316
<i>Doppo Orochi.</i>

87
00:08:03,399 --> 00:08:04,901
<i>Goki Shibukawa.</i>

88
00:08:05,526 --> 00:08:07,904
I heard it was those three
troubling people.

89
00:08:08,821 --> 00:08:13,951
I'm surprised you knew so much,
yet you challenged me to a fight.

90
00:08:14,035 --> 00:08:16,954
I couldn't let you win.

91
00:08:17,538 --> 00:08:20,458
The man I was chasing for five years
was at death's door,

92
00:08:20,958 --> 00:08:24,795
and both his hands and feet
were completely destroyed.

93
00:08:25,296 --> 00:08:28,049
Of course I would challenge him.

94
00:08:29,550 --> 00:08:32,762
I bet when I accepted your challenge,

95
00:08:33,346 --> 00:08:37,475
you had your back turned
with that same smile.

96
00:08:37,558 --> 00:08:38,809
What?

97
00:08:40,478 --> 00:08:41,979
Are you whining?

98
00:08:42,063 --> 00:08:43,356
Whining?

99
00:08:43,981 --> 00:08:45,066
Can't I?

100
00:08:48,778 --> 00:08:52,031
How about you give up already?

101
00:08:55,826 --> 00:08:58,037
You did well.

102
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:03,501
You took the all-compatible boxing
that I strived for and evolved it.

103
00:09:04,085 --> 00:09:05,044
I'm thankful.

104
00:09:05,628 --> 00:09:09,423
But this is a world
where we decide who's on top.

105
00:09:10,216 --> 00:09:13,052
I want to free my son from such a world.

106
00:09:13,970 --> 00:09:16,889
That's my earnest desire as your father.

107
00:09:24,605 --> 00:09:29,318
I'm younger, faster, and more powerful.

108
00:09:30,194 --> 00:09:33,406
But I wasn't stronger.

109
00:09:35,616 --> 00:09:37,451
Which is stronger?

110
00:09:38,035 --> 00:09:43,291
It's such a simple topic,
yet it has immeasurable depth.

111
00:09:44,500 --> 00:09:46,877
<i>Sea Emperor Kaku is almost 150 years old.</i>

112
00:09:47,378 --> 00:09:50,923
<i>Doppo Orochi isn't as old</i>
<i>but still considered old.</i>

113
00:09:51,007 --> 00:09:52,633
<i>There's Goki Shibukawa, too.</i>

114
00:09:55,219 --> 00:09:57,847
None of them plan to
step down from this game.

115
00:09:59,181 --> 00:10:02,310
And, even if your opponent
is your own son,

116
00:10:02,893 --> 00:10:04,520
you will win at any cost.

117
00:10:05,146 --> 00:10:08,316
That's how enchanting this game is.

118
00:10:09,483 --> 00:10:10,318
You...

119
00:10:10,943 --> 00:10:12,278
I lost four times in a row.

120
00:10:13,404 --> 00:10:15,323
But I won't give up.

121
00:10:15,448 --> 00:10:17,158
I can't give up anymore.

122
00:10:19,660 --> 00:10:21,078
Wow, Mister!

123
00:10:22,663 --> 00:10:24,665
What an impressive warrior.

124
00:10:25,166 --> 00:10:28,085
I told you earlier about my fan, right?

125
00:10:28,169 --> 00:10:31,088
Being the strongest means being the best.

126
00:10:31,172 --> 00:10:32,965
It's even worth your life.

127
00:10:33,674 --> 00:10:35,926
You can't even shake hands like that.

128
00:10:37,303 --> 00:10:41,182
There's the world's strongest man,
who could win a Nobel prize for strength.

129
00:10:41,682 --> 00:10:43,809
Do you want to fight Baki Hanma?

130
00:10:45,936 --> 00:10:49,440
The Strongest Boy on Earth, Hanma Baki.

131
00:10:49,523 --> 00:10:53,861
Do you have the courage
to fight with that monster?

132
00:10:54,904 --> 00:10:56,656
No. Sorry, Mr. Tokugawa.

133
00:10:57,365 --> 00:11:00,368
Unfortunately, this man doesn't have
that kind of courage.

134
00:11:00,951 --> 00:11:04,872
He'll probably make
a half-assed excuse and reject you.

135
00:11:04,955 --> 00:11:08,042
Make sure you make a reasonable,

136
00:11:08,125 --> 00:11:10,461
indisputable, and clever excuse.

137
00:11:10,961 --> 00:11:14,840
You can make countless reasons
for avoiding a fight,

138
00:11:15,383 --> 00:11:18,886
like injury, fever, or unfortunate timing.

139
00:11:20,304 --> 00:11:23,432
Dad, that's slightly wrong.

140
00:11:23,516 --> 00:11:26,894
Oh, what part of it was slightly wrong?

141
00:11:26,977 --> 00:11:29,647
I don't want to enter a fight recklessly,

142
00:11:30,231 --> 00:11:32,858
but I don't want to lie with an excuse.

143
00:11:33,275 --> 00:11:37,405
Mr. Tokugawa came all this way,
so I'd like to at least

144
00:11:37,488 --> 00:11:38,989
treat him with sincerity.

145
00:11:43,369 --> 00:11:46,163
I'd like to be sincere, at least.

146
00:11:48,666 --> 00:11:51,544
I know that this position in Japan

147
00:11:51,627 --> 00:11:54,004
is the highest level of sincerity.

148
00:11:54,505 --> 00:11:57,425
And then, you do this.

149
00:12:03,264 --> 00:12:07,560
Mr. Tokugawa, you have expectations
for someone like me.

150
00:12:08,519 --> 00:12:10,688
And in response,

151
00:12:11,522 --> 00:12:13,274
I'll do my very best!

152
00:12:16,777 --> 00:12:19,697
That is what my father taught me.

153
00:12:26,871 --> 00:12:29,039
Mr. Mohammad Alai Jr.

154
00:12:29,665 --> 00:12:31,625
You are a warrior.

155
00:12:31,709 --> 00:12:33,794
Please raise your head.

156
00:12:38,090 --> 00:12:42,219
I wholeheartedly accept
your honesty and sincerity.

157
00:12:45,264 --> 00:12:46,474
It seems to have been decided.

158
00:12:47,308 --> 00:12:48,434
You're right.

159
00:12:49,435 --> 00:12:52,480
Looks like my prediction
was slightly wrong.

160
00:12:54,064 --> 00:12:55,441
<i>Only slightly.</i>

161
00:12:57,526 --> 00:12:59,945
MITSUNARI TOKUGAWA

162
00:13:00,029 --> 00:13:02,239
So what did Baki say?

163
00:13:02,782 --> 00:13:04,950
He accepted.

164
00:13:05,451 --> 00:13:07,203
And he'll fight with all his might.

165
00:13:08,746 --> 00:13:10,873
-He accepted?
-Yes.

166
00:13:10,956 --> 00:13:13,709
He said it's only natural as a champion.

167
00:13:14,293 --> 00:13:17,004
-He didn't raise any objections?
-No.

168
00:13:17,463 --> 00:13:18,964
It went incredibly smoothly.

169
00:13:41,570 --> 00:13:45,241
Sir, are you sure you're not overdoing it?

170
00:13:48,077 --> 00:13:49,745
What kind of world is this?

171
00:13:50,204 --> 00:13:53,499
What world would put this man
in such trouble?

172
00:14:05,094 --> 00:14:06,345
<i>How many hours</i>

173
00:14:06,929 --> 00:14:08,764
<i>has he been at it?</i>

174
00:14:08,848 --> 00:14:10,015
How long

175
00:14:11,517 --> 00:14:12,977
has he been doing that?

176
00:14:13,394 --> 00:14:14,770
Who are you?

177
00:14:15,563 --> 00:14:17,147
We don't allow outsiders.

178
00:14:17,731 --> 00:14:18,899
Take off the sunglasses.

179
00:14:21,402 --> 00:14:23,529
Are you satisfied now?

180
00:14:25,489 --> 00:14:27,199
I was mistaken.

181
00:14:27,616 --> 00:14:30,244
Someone like you would need sunglasses.

182
00:14:30,786 --> 00:14:34,164
You're more famous than
the American president.

183
00:14:34,790 --> 00:14:36,876
You can't walk around with your face out.

184
00:14:37,501 --> 00:14:39,670
Can I really stay here?

185
00:14:39,753 --> 00:14:42,506
All fighters think of you like a god.

186
00:14:42,965 --> 00:14:46,844
In fact, I should be asking
if I'm allowed to be in your presence.

187
00:14:47,636 --> 00:14:51,140
You may relax, Absolute Champion.

188
00:14:52,808 --> 00:14:55,311
I'm honored, Champ.

189
00:14:59,815 --> 00:15:02,568
Recklessly, with no purpose,

190
00:15:03,152 --> 00:15:04,320
and with no future.

191
00:15:04,904 --> 00:15:08,657
How does it feel
hitting the bag like that?

192
00:15:16,498 --> 00:15:20,586
If you can't think up a plan,
start off by attacking.

193
00:15:21,879 --> 00:15:24,590
Those are words that I gave to you.

194
00:15:28,177 --> 00:15:31,221
It seems you spent more than
half a day doing this.

195
00:15:33,182 --> 00:15:35,100
It goes against science.

196
00:15:38,187 --> 00:15:39,855
But that's fine.

197
00:15:40,272 --> 00:15:42,107
Regardless of what modern medicine says,

198
00:15:43,067 --> 00:15:47,988
<i>add more burden to the injured areas</i>
<i>and make your flesh do the work.</i>

199
00:15:48,614 --> 00:15:51,367
<i>Old-school martial arts have</i>
<i>several real examples of this.</i>

200
00:15:51,700 --> 00:15:54,870
That's how much power the body has.

201
00:15:58,415 --> 00:16:01,627
Baki Hanma has accepted your challenge.

202
00:16:04,088 --> 00:16:05,005
However...

203
00:16:05,839 --> 00:16:08,008
only if you're at your best condition.

204
00:16:09,843 --> 00:16:10,761
What?

205
00:16:10,844 --> 00:16:13,764
"Come to the fighting ring
in your best condition.

206
00:16:15,683 --> 00:16:17,643
Then I'll be your opponent."

207
00:16:19,728 --> 00:16:21,647
Those are Baki Hanma's words.

208
00:16:22,523 --> 00:16:23,649
The sounds...

209
00:16:47,881 --> 00:16:50,175
Isn't the body amazing?

210
00:17:01,729 --> 00:17:02,771
Who might you be?

211
00:17:08,110 --> 00:17:09,194
I'm going through.

212
00:17:21,290 --> 00:17:23,125
I came to save you.

213
00:17:23,208 --> 00:17:24,960
You seem pale.

214
00:17:25,919 --> 00:17:27,337
Mr. Alai.

215
00:17:27,921 --> 00:17:31,467
We were about to run and leave you behind.

216
00:17:31,550 --> 00:17:34,178
You would never be able to escape.

217
00:17:38,557 --> 00:17:42,644
Wow, you look astoundingly young.

218
00:17:44,063 --> 00:17:45,689
Thirty years ago,

219
00:17:45,773 --> 00:17:49,735
I came to Tokyo to fight Igari,
a pro wrestler.

220
00:17:50,527 --> 00:17:52,654
<i>You're just as I remember.</i>

221
00:17:54,573 --> 00:17:56,492
How's Junior's condition?

222
00:17:59,912 --> 00:18:01,872
Champion Baki Hanma.

223
00:18:02,664 --> 00:18:05,501
What kind of fighter is he?

224
00:18:07,711 --> 00:18:11,381
He's not perfect, but he has my blood.

225
00:18:12,091 --> 00:18:15,135
Body function, willpower, and experience.

226
00:18:15,677 --> 00:18:19,098
He'd surpass an Olympic athlete
at any one of these qualities.

227
00:18:20,474 --> 00:18:21,600
You could say...

228
00:18:22,601 --> 00:18:25,521
he's one of
the strongest people in the world.

229
00:18:26,105 --> 00:18:27,815
That's what I wanted.

230
00:18:34,905 --> 00:18:36,782
Have your injuries healed?

231
00:18:37,366 --> 00:18:40,661
I'm not at my best,
but I've basically recovered.

232
00:18:42,121 --> 00:18:43,372
It's thanks to you

233
00:18:43,956 --> 00:18:45,290
and your boyfriend.

234
00:18:46,375 --> 00:18:47,292
You always say

235
00:18:47,876 --> 00:18:50,671
half-assed comments like that.

236
00:18:51,505 --> 00:18:52,881
"Half-assed"?

237
00:18:54,591 --> 00:18:56,343
I didn't help you at all.

238
00:18:57,427 --> 00:19:00,055
You're making half-assed comments too.

239
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,350
What about me is half-assed?

240
00:19:03,892 --> 00:19:07,312
You're not listening to my words.

241
00:19:07,396 --> 00:19:10,816
You think that I'm
an irresponsible playboy.

242
00:19:11,441 --> 00:19:12,818
You are though.

243
00:19:18,824 --> 00:19:21,451
The power people have when they set a goal

244
00:19:22,035 --> 00:19:23,912
is such an incredible thing.

245
00:19:25,122 --> 00:19:29,001
<i>Sometimes, even going to the bathroom</i>
<i>can be a bother.</i>

246
00:19:29,668 --> 00:19:32,880
<i>But if it's for vacation,</i>
<i>those same people</i>

247
00:19:32,963 --> 00:19:35,465
<i>can travel thousands of miles abroad.</i>

248
00:19:37,342 --> 00:19:38,468
<i>He's right.</i>

249
00:19:39,052 --> 00:19:40,220
It's a huge difference.

250
00:19:40,846 --> 00:19:42,514
<i>The bathroom is meters away,</i>

251
00:19:43,265 --> 00:19:45,726
<i>and the resort is thousands of miles away.</i>

252
00:19:47,686 --> 00:19:50,480
When I think about you and Baki,

253
00:19:50,814 --> 00:19:53,358
my body gets
closer to recovery on its own.

254
00:19:54,443 --> 00:19:55,736
Are you going to fight?

255
00:19:59,948 --> 00:20:01,867
It's because I despise him.

256
00:20:02,743 --> 00:20:03,702
Why?

257
00:20:03,785 --> 00:20:08,624
Baki Hanma has you and his title
as the strongest in the world.

258
00:20:09,208 --> 00:20:11,877
-That's--
-They're both things I want.

259
00:20:12,461 --> 00:20:16,882
To get these two things,
he's a wall I must overcome.

260
00:20:17,925 --> 00:20:19,885
He's really strong.

261
00:20:20,469 --> 00:20:21,386
I know.

262
00:20:22,137 --> 00:20:23,889
Neither goal is easy.

263
00:20:24,681 --> 00:20:27,392
Not you, nor the title.

264
00:20:27,476 --> 00:20:29,394
MITSUNARI TOKUGAWA

265
00:20:30,354 --> 00:20:33,607
You've never fought them before,
so this may be a hard question.

266
00:20:33,690 --> 00:20:36,068
Alai Jr. versus Baki.

267
00:20:36,151 --> 00:20:37,903
Which would you bet on?

268
00:20:38,904 --> 00:20:42,407
I've only fought Junior's father before.

269
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,163
On that day 30 years ago,

270
00:20:48,247 --> 00:20:52,542
<i>that guy's boxing style</i>
<i>already had the basics down.</i>

271
00:20:53,126 --> 00:20:55,671
<i>You mean during</i>
<i>the dullest game of the century?</i>

272
00:20:55,754 --> 00:20:57,297
That hurts.

273
00:20:58,340 --> 00:21:00,759
I thought it would work out
if I could grapple him.

274
00:21:01,343 --> 00:21:04,179
I believed that for 45 minutes.

275
00:21:04,638 --> 00:21:06,431
I couldn't do anything in the end.

276
00:21:08,141 --> 00:21:10,435
-It was his mental imaging.
-Imaging?

277
00:21:12,104 --> 00:21:15,649
<i>As soon as I entered his space,</i>
<i>no matter how I tackled,</i>

278
00:21:16,149 --> 00:21:17,818
<i>he'd knock me down right there.</i>

279
00:21:18,777 --> 00:21:20,654
That wasn't boxing.

280
00:21:21,947 --> 00:21:24,199
<i>It was truly all-encompassing.</i>

281
00:21:25,033 --> 00:21:26,702
Thirty years have passed.

282
00:21:26,785 --> 00:21:28,453
I'm sure it's grown

283
00:21:29,121 --> 00:21:31,206
into something troublesome.

284
00:21:31,290 --> 00:21:32,207
And so?

285
00:21:33,333 --> 00:21:36,545
Alai Jr. will definitely win.

286
00:21:38,672 --> 00:21:40,215
I see.

287
00:21:40,924 --> 00:21:42,676
That's what you think?

288
00:21:44,052 --> 00:21:47,764
Yes, I think Alai Jr. will win.

289
00:21:48,307 --> 00:21:50,726
What is your reasoning?

290
00:21:51,184 --> 00:21:54,229
It goes without saying,
but it's because of us.

291
00:21:55,188 --> 00:21:58,025
Most likely, on the day of the fight,

292
00:21:58,108 --> 00:22:00,485
right in the middle of it...

293
00:22:00,569 --> 00:22:03,488
Alai Jr. will be complete.

294
00:22:07,826 --> 00:22:09,286
We're on the same page.

295
00:22:14,458 --> 00:22:16,001
Right in front of you,

296
00:22:17,544 --> 00:22:20,422
I will defeat Baki Hanma.

297
00:23:42,295 --> 00:23:43,213
