00:00:19,144 --> 00:00:22,022
KENGAN LIFE-OR-DEATH
2
00:00:24,775 --> 00:00:27,778
FIST
3
00:00:39,706 --> 00:00:43,544
KENGAN LIFE-OR-DEATH
4
00:01:08,652 --> 00:01:12,447
Wow. This place is packed.
5
00:01:18,787 --> 00:01:21,081
World leaders are here?
6
00:01:21,164 --> 00:01:23,166
KAZUO YAMASHITA
PRESIDENT, YAMASHITA CORP
7
00:01:52,738 --> 00:01:58,243
KENGAN LIFE-OR-DEATH
8
00:02:02,581 --> 00:02:03,457
A woman?
9
00:02:03,540 --> 00:02:06,168
Her name is Sayaka Katahara.
She's the chairman's daughter.
10
00:02:06,293 --> 00:02:08,211
KAEDE AKIYAMA
CHAIRMAN'S SECRETARY, NOGI GROUP
11
00:02:08,295 --> 00:02:09,212
Is she?
12
00:02:10,339 --> 00:02:12,174
Ladies and gentlemen,
thank you all for coming.
13
00:02:12,299 --> 00:02:13,967
SAYAKA KATAHARA
DAUGHTER OF METSUDO KATAHARA
14
00:02:14,509 --> 00:02:20,140
And now, the Kengan Life-or-Death
Tournament will begin!
15
00:02:33,487 --> 00:02:35,656
Kengan matches produce
such a special kind of enthusiasm.
16
00:02:35,739 --> 00:02:39,451
They're nothing like
other public martial arts matches.
17
00:02:43,789 --> 00:02:45,707
METSUDO KATAHARA,
KENGAN ASSOCIATION CHAIRMAN
18
00:02:45,874 --> 00:02:47,292
It's heating up already!
19
00:02:47,417 --> 00:02:51,213
I have great hopes for this tournament.
20
00:04:22,012 --> 00:04:26,933
THE BATTLE BEGINS
21
00:04:36,109 --> 00:04:38,612
COSMO IMAI
FIGHTER, NISHIHONJI SECURITY SERVICES
22
00:04:38,695 --> 00:04:42,491
When I was younger and
a little more of a rascal,
23
00:04:43,867 --> 00:04:46,703
I was getting myself into fights
day in, day out.
24
00:04:47,996 --> 00:04:49,873
Bring it on, assholes!
25
00:04:51,792 --> 00:04:55,086
On that day,
I was at something of a disadvantage.
26
00:04:56,838 --> 00:04:58,215
I was fighting against four yakuza.
27
00:04:59,716 --> 00:05:02,344
They got serious,
even though I was just a kid.
28
00:05:03,845 --> 00:05:06,389
But then,
just when I thought I was a goner...
29
00:05:08,850 --> 00:05:10,477
a hero showed up.
30
00:05:13,146 --> 00:05:16,525
This ordinary looking guy
burst onto the scene...
31
00:05:19,027 --> 00:05:21,655
and knocked those yakuza down in no time.
32
00:05:24,825 --> 00:05:25,826
It turned out...
33
00:05:25,909 --> 00:05:27,244
MITSUYO KUREISHI
MMA FIGHTER
34
00:05:27,369 --> 00:05:31,206
...he was a mixed martial artist, known
in Japan at that time as "The White Hope."
35
00:05:31,873 --> 00:05:33,166
I saw you fighting.
36
00:05:34,334 --> 00:05:36,545
You've got some balls, kid.
37
00:05:37,087 --> 00:05:40,465
So... why don't you learn martial arts?
38
00:05:45,220 --> 00:05:49,057
His words changed my life dramatically.
39
00:05:49,349 --> 00:05:50,308
Hey.
40
00:05:52,519 --> 00:05:54,312
AKIRA NISHIHONJI
PRESIDENT, NISHIHONJI SECURITY
41
00:05:54,396 --> 00:05:55,438
How's it going?
42
00:05:56,064 --> 00:05:57,357
Perfect.
43
00:05:57,649 --> 00:06:00,235
This might be the best condition
I've ever been in.
44
00:06:01,528 --> 00:06:02,571
Hey, Cos.
45
00:06:03,738 --> 00:06:05,282
Don't push yourself too hard.
46
00:06:05,782 --> 00:06:08,660
When you think you
don't stand a chance, just quit.
47
00:06:09,911 --> 00:06:11,162
Not that again.
48
00:06:11,496 --> 00:06:13,081
I've told you a hundred times.
49
00:06:13,415 --> 00:06:17,460
You're my favorite junior,
you're more than just a fighter.
50
00:06:19,129 --> 00:06:22,799
Have you forgotten...
the sort of personality I have?
51
00:06:25,176 --> 00:06:27,596
I hate losing more than anything.
52
00:06:28,763 --> 00:06:30,599
You're in good hands with me.
53
00:06:30,932 --> 00:06:34,102
I promise to take you
all the way through the championship.
54
00:06:36,229 --> 00:06:38,440
I knew you'd say that.
55
00:06:39,524 --> 00:06:40,525
Go win the battle.
56
00:06:41,735 --> 00:06:43,778
KENGAN LIFE-OR-DEATH
57
00:06:44,696 --> 00:06:45,864
KENGAN MATCH
58
00:06:52,454 --> 00:06:55,290
GAME ONE
59
00:06:55,498 --> 00:06:58,418
He's got an infinite desire for combat.
60
00:06:59,002 --> 00:07:03,465
He might be short, but he's strong enough
to take down any opponent he fights.
61
00:07:04,049 --> 00:07:06,468
A young jujitsu master...
62
00:07:06,593 --> 00:07:10,472
Can he add to the excitement
of the opening of the tournament?
63
00:07:10,972 --> 00:07:14,684
Standing 171 cm tall and weighing 68 kg,
64
00:07:15,018 --> 00:07:18,939
his kengan match record is
21 wins and no losses.
65
00:07:19,940 --> 00:07:25,487
He has amassed total assets
of 79 billion, 212 million yen.
66
00:07:26,154 --> 00:07:29,407
Representing Nishihonji Security Services,
67
00:07:29,658 --> 00:07:32,118
also known as "The King of Stranglers,"
68
00:07:32,369 --> 00:07:36,039
Cosmo Imai!
69
00:07:49,511 --> 00:07:51,638
All right. Let's get started.
70
00:07:52,347 --> 00:07:55,475
What the hell? He's just a little kid.
71
00:07:55,934 --> 00:07:58,061
Cosmo Imai, 19 years old.
72
00:07:58,436 --> 00:08:00,188
He practices jujitsu.
73
00:08:00,313 --> 00:08:03,441
Despite his appearance,
he's won all 21 matches straight.
74
00:08:03,650 --> 00:08:04,567
I mean...
75
00:08:04,901 --> 00:08:06,528
RONALD HARAGUCHI
PRESIDENT, BOSS BURGER
76
00:08:06,611 --> 00:08:08,321
...he's no match for you, though.
77
00:08:08,822 --> 00:08:11,658
Oh. Jujitsu?
78
00:08:13,535 --> 00:08:15,495
I'll teach him his place,
he's just a cock sucker
79
00:08:15,620 --> 00:08:17,664
who loves to use
ground grappling techniques.
80
00:08:17,747 --> 00:08:19,332
ADAM DUDLEY
BOSS BURGER'S FIGHTER
81
00:08:20,291 --> 00:08:21,292
VERSUS
82
00:08:24,921 --> 00:08:27,340
This man has beaten countless opponents.
83
00:08:27,590 --> 00:08:30,385
He'll take down anyone, armed or unarmed.
84
00:08:30,593 --> 00:08:32,345
He's the Kingpin Brawler in Texas.
85
00:08:32,846 --> 00:08:37,308
The violent thug from the land of the free
will go on a rampage on Ganryu Island.
86
00:08:37,767 --> 00:08:42,355
Will he be the first foreign fighter ever
to win the Kengan Tournament championship?
87
00:08:43,231 --> 00:08:46,609
Standing 192 cm tall
and weighing 107 kg,
88
00:08:46,776 --> 00:08:49,863
his kengan match record
is one win and no losses.
89
00:08:50,405 --> 00:08:55,243
The total assets he has acquired
stand at seven billion, 646 million yen.
90
00:08:55,702 --> 00:08:57,871
Representing Boss Burger,
91
00:08:58,747 --> 00:09:00,582
also known as "The Emperor,"
92
00:09:00,665 --> 00:09:04,377
Adam Dudley!
93
00:09:17,932 --> 00:09:21,895
Look at them!
They're already glaring at each other.
94
00:09:22,395 --> 00:09:28,026
Hey, what kind of bullshit is this?
Do Japs make their bitches fight?
95
00:09:28,485 --> 00:09:30,278
You've got a foul mouth.
96
00:09:30,904 --> 00:09:34,240
Well, it doesn't matter.
You won't be able to talk in a minute.
97
00:09:34,449 --> 00:09:37,660
Well, well. They're raging.
98
00:09:39,496 --> 00:09:41,956
SHION SORYUIN
CHAIRWOMAN, KOUOU EDUCATION GROUP
99
00:09:42,165 --> 00:09:44,000
What do you think of this match?
100
00:09:44,125 --> 00:09:45,627
I really love cute guys and tough guys!
101
00:09:45,710 --> 00:09:47,545
TOMOKO MATSUDA,
SECRETARY, KOUOU EDUCATION GROUP
102
00:09:47,962 --> 00:09:50,048
That's not what I asked.
103
00:09:52,300 --> 00:09:53,718
Where did Kiryu go?
104
00:09:54,135 --> 00:09:56,304
SETSUNA KIRYU
FIGHTER, KOUOU EDUCATION GROUP
105
00:09:59,641 --> 00:10:02,727
The key to this match is how they bring
the fight to their field of expertise.
106
00:10:02,852 --> 00:10:04,521
SUEKICHI KANEDA
FIGHTER, GINOKUNIYA BOOKSHOP
107
00:10:04,646 --> 00:10:07,649
That's true, seeing as their styles
are the complete opposite of each other.
108
00:10:07,774 --> 00:10:09,317
NAOYA OHKUBO
FIGHTER, MUJI TV NETWORK
109
00:10:09,776 --> 00:10:14,614
The big difference in physique
must surely work against Imai.
110
00:10:14,989 --> 00:10:16,991
What do you think, Ohma?
111
00:10:19,994 --> 00:10:22,080
Physique won't make a difference...
112
00:10:22,831 --> 00:10:26,000
not to a fighting prodigy like Cosmo Imai.
113
00:10:26,501 --> 00:10:30,797
Will the winner be the jujitsu master
of the Land of Rising Sun...
114
00:10:31,631 --> 00:10:35,260
or the bullfighter from
the Land of the Free?
115
00:10:36,010 --> 00:10:38,721
Ready, get set!
116
00:10:39,722 --> 00:10:43,518
This is a face-off between two men
from opposite sides of the Pacific...
117
00:10:44,018 --> 00:10:47,063
with completely opposite fighting styles.
118
00:10:47,647 --> 00:10:51,317
Which one of them will triumph?
119
00:10:56,197 --> 00:10:57,323
Fight!
120
00:10:59,242 --> 00:11:03,955
It's on! The Kengan Life-or-Death
Tournament has finally begun!
121
00:11:17,010 --> 00:11:21,014
Shit! That was a heavy blow.
That didn't feel like a middleweight blow.
122
00:11:21,806 --> 00:11:24,267
Great.
He seems perfectly prepared for this.
123
00:11:24,851 --> 00:11:28,229
I'm used to fighting big guys.
124
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,858
I just need to make sure I avoid
getting hit from the front
125
00:11:32,358 --> 00:11:34,110
and try to throw him off-balance.
126
00:11:34,402 --> 00:11:35,653
Quick little bitch.
127
00:11:42,368 --> 00:11:45,246
He seems well prepared
for a heavyweight match.
128
00:11:46,748 --> 00:11:48,625
We don't mesh with each other.
129
00:11:50,084 --> 00:11:51,044
Fine.
130
00:11:52,462 --> 00:11:54,339
I'm going to force you to mesh with me!
131
00:11:54,839 --> 00:11:55,715
Okay.
132
00:11:56,090 --> 00:11:57,884
Your eyeballs are mine.
133
00:12:01,137 --> 00:12:02,889
Nice. A scissor throw!
134
00:12:03,056 --> 00:12:04,349
Hell, yeah! He did it, Wakatsuki.
135
00:12:04,432 --> 00:12:05,892
JUN SEKIBAYASHI
FIGHTER, GANDAI
136
00:12:05,975 --> 00:12:07,268
Calm down, Seki. I saw it.
137
00:12:07,352 --> 00:12:09,395
TAKESHI WAKATSUKI
FIGHTER, FURUMI PHARMA
138
00:12:09,479 --> 00:12:10,521
He's got momentum.
139
00:12:11,147 --> 00:12:13,691
From here on in,
they're in Imai's field of expertise.
140
00:12:15,026 --> 00:12:15,985
He has him pinned!
141
00:12:16,319 --> 00:12:18,571
Ground grappling techniques
are Imai's forte.
142
00:12:18,863 --> 00:12:22,242
He's living up to the name of Cosmo
with these universe-class techniques.
143
00:12:22,450 --> 00:12:24,619
Is there anything Adam can do?
144
00:12:26,496 --> 00:12:28,831
That guy looks familiar for some reason.
145
00:12:28,998 --> 00:12:31,000
JERRY TYSON, 22ND CENTURY FAX'S FIGHTER
(ELIMINATED)
146
00:12:31,459 --> 00:12:33,503
All right. I've scaled the mountain.
147
00:12:34,337 --> 00:12:36,339
This is over.
148
00:12:39,592 --> 00:12:42,220
Who said it's over?
149
00:12:42,637 --> 00:12:46,099
Save the speech
until you actually take me down.
150
00:12:50,853 --> 00:12:53,481
Okay. That was my plan, anyway.
151
00:12:54,315 --> 00:12:56,276
From now on, I'm in charge.
152
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:03,741
Wow. This match is
starting to get pretty one-sided.
153
00:13:04,117 --> 00:13:07,287
Imai's on the offensive,
showering Adam with blows.
154
00:13:07,495 --> 00:13:09,664
Is it all over for Adam?
155
00:13:10,832 --> 00:13:12,834
He's not letting his guard down.
156
00:13:13,543 --> 00:13:16,462
I can't move onto a stranglehold.
157
00:13:17,505 --> 00:13:18,965
What's wrong, boy?
158
00:13:20,508 --> 00:13:24,304
You couldn't even kill a mouse
with your pussy punches.
159
00:13:24,929 --> 00:13:25,930
What?
160
00:13:35,273 --> 00:13:37,400
Why did he dodge such a little jab?
161
00:13:37,775 --> 00:13:40,862
What's happened? Imai has dismounted.
162
00:13:41,237 --> 00:13:43,614
Was he too concerned about
attacks coming from below?
163
00:13:43,781 --> 00:13:48,161
Why did he avoid that punch
when it wouldn't have done much damage?
164
00:13:48,244 --> 00:13:52,415
You should've taken his arm at the moment
of impact and moved into the Arm Bar.
165
00:13:53,708 --> 00:13:55,126
That was the right response.
166
00:13:55,501 --> 00:13:57,587
REI MIKAZUCHI AND RINO KURAYOSHI
OF GOLD PLEASURE GROUP
167
00:13:57,670 --> 00:14:00,465
If he hadn't dodged that blow,
this match could've been over.
168
00:14:00,548 --> 00:14:01,507
Oh, really?
169
00:14:02,842 --> 00:14:07,180
He hardly touched me,
so why does it hurt this much?
170
00:14:11,934 --> 00:14:14,395
What is going on?
171
00:14:14,479 --> 00:14:18,900
Adam is getting back up
in a very unnatural way.
172
00:14:19,067 --> 00:14:21,235
What the hell is his body made of?
173
00:14:22,737 --> 00:14:25,156
His fighting spirit
has finally been ignited.
174
00:14:25,573 --> 00:14:29,077
Now, Adam, show them your power.
175
00:14:31,079 --> 00:14:35,958
Sorry, boy.
We're back in my area of expertise.
176
00:14:42,924 --> 00:14:44,592
That man is...
177
00:14:54,394 --> 00:14:57,563
Ice hockey is the only
modern sport in the world
178
00:14:57,647 --> 00:15:02,235
where players are silently
authorized to hit each other.
179
00:15:03,194 --> 00:15:07,949
However, the coefficient of friction
on an ice-rink is only 0.005.
180
00:15:08,491 --> 00:15:11,786
In an environment where
you can barely keep your balance,
181
00:15:12,495 --> 00:15:14,914
you can't throw powerful punches.
182
00:15:15,373 --> 00:15:16,290
However...
183
00:15:19,043 --> 00:15:25,508
Adam Dudley managed to deliver a large
number of knockouts on the rink.
184
00:15:25,967 --> 00:15:29,762
The secret to his skill
was his well-built trunk.
185
00:15:30,304 --> 00:15:34,475
Adam has an abnormally large
erector spinae muscle.
186
00:15:34,725 --> 00:15:37,395
It greatly increases
the conductivity efficiency of force,
187
00:15:37,562 --> 00:15:43,317
making his jabs powerful enough
to knock his opponents out cold.
188
00:15:46,195 --> 00:15:49,282
Don't stop moving.
Shake him off with my speed...
189
00:15:51,701 --> 00:15:52,910
until I take him down!
190
00:15:54,370 --> 00:15:57,081
Good. Keep throwing him off!
191
00:16:00,293 --> 00:16:01,919
Stop teasing me, boy.
192
00:16:10,011 --> 00:16:11,596
He bounced!
193
00:16:11,721 --> 00:16:15,183
Adam hit Imai with
the full force of his strength.
194
00:16:15,266 --> 00:16:20,480
Imai was slammed to the ground
so hard that he bounced!
195
00:16:23,566 --> 00:16:27,862
That was one hell of a blow.
I couldn't protect myself.
196
00:16:28,529 --> 00:16:31,866
-Imai. Can you keep fighting?
-I have to recover quickly.
197
00:16:32,533 --> 00:16:34,619
I need to get back on...
198
00:16:41,626 --> 00:16:43,794
Imai's been blown away again!
199
00:16:44,879 --> 00:16:48,299
He jumped back to reduce the damage.
200
00:16:48,382 --> 00:16:50,051
Wait. When did you get the microphone?
201
00:16:54,347 --> 00:16:55,848
Don't underestimate me!
202
00:17:01,062 --> 00:17:04,065
I can't back off or I'll lose.
All I can do is keep attacking.
203
00:17:08,152 --> 00:17:10,446
Look at you now, Imai.
204
00:17:11,322 --> 00:17:15,993
Adam's taken down plenty of
heavyweight fighters back in the U.S.
205
00:17:16,452 --> 00:17:20,081
So easy to take wimps down.
206
00:17:22,375 --> 00:17:26,712
I was going to recruit Punk Abbot
to be our fighter.
207
00:17:27,421 --> 00:17:31,509
He had kengan match experience too.
208
00:17:32,426 --> 00:17:34,887
But I met a man
with such incredible physical ability
209
00:17:34,971 --> 00:17:37,098
that he was a lethal killing machine.
210
00:17:37,348 --> 00:17:40,101
That man was Adam Dudley.
211
00:17:40,309 --> 00:17:44,397
On top of that, your physical specs
can't even compare to Adam’s.
212
00:17:44,814 --> 00:17:47,400
No matter how good your technique is,
213
00:17:47,567 --> 00:17:51,404
Adam is capable of turning
the tables with a single blow.
214
00:17:53,197 --> 00:17:56,826
You're just a piece of paper to Adam.
215
00:17:57,243 --> 00:18:01,372
He's a rock that beats
the shit out of paper.
216
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,970
Crap. He's tougher than I expected.
217
00:18:16,137 --> 00:18:20,308
If this match lasts much longer,
I'll be at a disadvantage.
218
00:18:24,812 --> 00:18:29,150
I'll show you... what I'm capable of.
219
00:18:31,986 --> 00:18:36,157
Look at Imai. He's adopted a low stance.
220
00:18:36,824 --> 00:18:40,661
Wow. Ready to die, boy?
221
00:18:41,162 --> 00:18:43,331
I'll play along.
222
00:18:43,497 --> 00:18:46,167
Adam has changed his stance, too.
223
00:18:46,667 --> 00:18:51,839
It looks like they're both determined
to end this match with their next strike.
224
00:18:51,964 --> 00:18:53,215
I see.
225
00:19:09,899 --> 00:19:11,192
They're moving.
226
00:19:13,486 --> 00:19:15,446
High-Stick Shot.
227
00:19:15,988 --> 00:19:17,448
Zone Activated.
228
00:19:23,913 --> 00:19:28,709
He's done it!
He's been taken down!
229
00:19:32,546 --> 00:19:35,549
He's been hit by cruel reality.
230
00:19:35,966 --> 00:19:41,889
Even a miraculous technique is useless
in the face of overwhelming power.
231
00:19:46,894 --> 00:19:50,022
This is a perfect sandbag for me.
232
00:19:51,065 --> 00:19:54,026
What's the matter, kid? Fight back!
233
00:19:54,110 --> 00:19:56,237
-The best is yet to come!
-That's enough.
234
00:19:58,489 --> 00:20:00,825
Come on, referee. You can't stop me now.
235
00:20:01,242 --> 00:20:05,496
That's enough.
236
00:20:06,414 --> 00:20:09,250
What the hell is happening?
237
00:20:09,583 --> 00:20:12,461
Adam Dudley didn't understand it...
238
00:20:13,087 --> 00:20:15,589
until he saw it.
239
00:20:21,554 --> 00:20:22,638
No shit.
240
00:20:24,014 --> 00:20:24,932
That's...
241
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:27,727
That's me.
242
00:20:28,644 --> 00:20:30,604
He's down!
243
00:20:30,855 --> 00:20:33,941
Imai executed a perfect Triangle Choke!
244
00:20:34,150 --> 00:20:37,611
The King of Stranglers, Cosmo Imai,
245
00:20:37,820 --> 00:20:41,073
showed his pride
in being a jujitsu master.
246
00:20:41,615 --> 00:20:44,243
That was an awesome way to end it.
247
00:20:44,452 --> 00:20:49,582
Yeah. Adam probably hasn't even
realized yet that he was attacked.
248
00:20:50,958 --> 00:20:53,961
"Zone" is such a tricky technique.
249
00:20:54,879 --> 00:20:56,338
What is zone?
250
00:20:57,089 --> 00:20:59,842
It's the technique of discerning
the interval of less than 0.1 second
251
00:21:00,259 --> 00:21:02,803
when the opponent is focused
exclusively on his attack,
252
00:21:03,262 --> 00:21:05,765
and sneaking into the blind spot
of their conscious mind.
253
00:21:06,390 --> 00:21:10,603
As a result, Cosmo managed to
disappear from his opponent's sight.
254
00:21:11,645 --> 00:21:14,148
Adam probably didn't even realize
255
00:21:14,982 --> 00:21:20,154
that his perception and reality
had gone in opposite directions.
256
00:21:20,821 --> 00:21:23,365
When Adam was caught unawares,
257
00:21:23,491 --> 00:21:25,743
Cosmo instantly moved into
a Triangle Choke.
258
00:21:25,826 --> 00:21:28,871
The whole process took
a fraction of a second.
259
00:21:29,705 --> 00:21:31,165
Hey, Wakatsuki.
260
00:21:31,957 --> 00:21:34,168
Do you think you can pull that off, too?
261
00:21:34,585 --> 00:21:39,131
No. Imai's the only one
who can fight that way.
262
00:21:39,590 --> 00:21:42,802
The winner is Cosmo Imai.
263
00:21:42,885 --> 00:21:46,847
Cosmo Imai. He's definitely a prodigy.
264
00:21:49,934 --> 00:21:52,603
Oh no. We lost!
265
00:21:58,776 --> 00:22:04,031
-Imai, well done!
-You're the best, Cosmo!
266
00:22:04,573 --> 00:22:07,368
Nice work, Cos.
I guess it was a narrow win.
267
00:22:07,660 --> 00:22:09,745
Once you get some rest,
let's go out to eat...
268
00:22:12,414 --> 00:22:13,374
Cos!
269
00:22:17,711 --> 00:22:20,381
I've never seen him
so badly injured after a fight.
270
00:22:21,632 --> 00:22:23,175
This tournament...
271
00:22:24,260 --> 00:22:26,846
is on a higher level than I imagined.
272
00:24:05,945 --> 00:24:06,862
PREVIEW
273
00:24:06,946 --> 00:24:09,114
The battle of a hermit versus a riot cop.
274
00:24:09,365 --> 00:24:11,575
Which one is going to win,
275
00:24:11,825 --> 00:24:15,287
the unstoppable spear or
the unbreakable shield?
