00:01:51,653 --> 00:01:53,905
"He went looking for Pickle
without a strategy

8
00:01:53,988 --> 00:01:56,282
or any idea what he would do
when he found him."

9
00:01:56,366 --> 00:01:57,784
"He may be my son,

10
00:01:57,867 --> 00:02:00,787
but I'm disgusted
by his lack of preparation."

11
00:02:01,955 --> 00:02:04,290
[Mitsunari] Oh, that's a little harsh,
don't you think?

12
00:02:04,374 --> 00:02:07,293
Baki was only trying to help, after all.

13
00:02:07,377 --> 00:02:11,381
[Yujiro] Tell me, has the head
of the Tokugawa Conglomerate gone senile?

14
00:02:11,464 --> 00:02:12,298
Hmm!

00:02:15,969 --> 00:02:18,096
"I gave it a good try."

18
00:02:18,179 --> 00:02:20,306
Those are the excuses of a loser.

19
00:02:20,390 --> 00:02:23,560
-[whimpering]
-That stuff won't cut it in my world.

20
00:02:23,643 --> 00:02:26,980
I've heard excuses
and evasions like that all my life,

21
00:02:27,063 --> 00:02:29,023
and I've learned not to fall for them.

22
00:02:29,524 --> 00:02:34,028
If I hear you spouting that kind of
loser talk around me again, gramps,

23
00:02:35,113 --> 00:02:37,073
I swear you'll be sorry you did.

24
00:02:37,157 --> 00:02:39,075
[Mitsunari whimpering]

25
00:02:40,243 --> 00:02:41,244
Understood.

26
00:02:42,412 --> 00:02:43,246
Hmm.

27
00:02:43,329 --> 00:02:46,082
You know what?
It's kind of a lucky break though.

28
00:02:46,958 --> 00:02:48,084
Huh?

29
00:02:48,668 --> 00:02:51,588
Now that he's met
and been beaten by that savage,

30
00:02:52,172 --> 00:02:56,092
the little punk won't be getting
a good night's sleep for awhile.

31
00:02:57,010 --> 00:02:59,137
[Baki imitating Yujiro] "That damn loser!"

32
00:02:59,679 --> 00:03:01,890
I bet that's just what he'll say.

33
00:03:03,099 --> 00:03:04,934
Great, now I'm too excited to sleep.

34
00:03:05,935 --> 00:03:07,687
[dramatic music playing]

35
00:03:08,438 --> 00:03:12,609
That one move alone,
that's given me plenty to think about.

36
00:03:13,359 --> 00:03:15,862
Just from that, I can tell what he is.

37
00:03:15,945 --> 00:03:17,614
How good he is.

38
00:03:17,697 --> 00:03:21,117
That one kick made us friends for life.

39
00:03:24,537 --> 00:03:26,122
Could I achieve that?

40
00:03:26,873 --> 00:03:27,707
[gulps]

41
00:03:28,958 --> 00:03:30,668
[grunts softly, groans]

42
00:03:33,296 --> 00:03:34,923
Could I reach that level?

43
00:03:35,715 --> 00:03:37,717
I was sure I was never gonna get there.

44
00:03:38,218 --> 00:03:39,677
Not the way I am now.

45
00:03:42,222 --> 00:03:45,308
But with his help, I can do it!

[whooshing]

48
00:03:49,479 --> 00:03:52,106
That it? Isn't that how it went?

49
00:03:52,982 --> 00:03:54,400
Your "Mach Punch"?

50
00:03:55,026 --> 00:03:56,444
It's a good move.

51
00:03:56,527 --> 00:03:58,988
It's the only one of yours
that ever surprised me.

52
00:03:59,072 --> 00:03:59,906
[sighs]

53
00:03:59,989 --> 00:04:02,825
[Retsu] The force originates
in your big toes

54
00:04:02,909 --> 00:04:04,994
and is accelerated by your ankles,

55
00:04:05,495 --> 00:04:08,331
and is further accelerated by your knees.

56
00:04:08,873 --> 00:04:10,416
Then by your hips

57
00:04:11,209 --> 00:04:12,126
and lumbar.

58
00:04:12,919 --> 00:04:14,420
Then by your spine.

59
00:04:14,921 --> 00:04:15,922
Then your shoulders.

60
00:04:17,006 --> 00:04:19,175
Then your elbow. Your wrist.

61
00:04:20,009 --> 00:04:21,928
Ending up in your fist.

62
00:04:22,011 --> 00:04:23,972
-[thwack]
-[dramatic music sting]

63
00:04:24,055 --> 00:04:26,933
[Retsu] I saw you use this move once
against Hanayama.

64
00:04:27,016 --> 00:04:27,850
Hmm.

65
00:04:27,934 --> 00:04:29,936
-[Retsu] I have to confess…
-[gasps]

66
00:04:30,019 --> 00:04:32,188
…it shook me down to my core.

67
00:04:32,897 --> 00:04:34,399
Though I tried to hide it.

68
00:04:35,775 --> 00:04:38,444
Am I supposed
to be impressed or something?

69
00:04:38,528 --> 00:04:41,698
Where you are now,
we were at 2,000 years ago!

70
00:04:42,740 --> 00:04:44,200
What I said was true.

71
00:04:44,826 --> 00:04:45,952
However,

72
00:04:46,786 --> 00:04:49,539
it's a move I have only practiced
when I'm in training.

73
00:04:50,373 --> 00:04:52,458
Never in a combat situation.

74
00:04:52,542 --> 00:04:54,252
I've achieved many victories.

75
00:04:54,335 --> 00:04:56,212
But after watching that fight,

76
00:04:56,296 --> 00:05:00,967
it's clear to me there's no difference
in strength between the two of us.

77
00:05:01,634 --> 00:05:04,345
In the long history
of great kung fu fighters,

78
00:05:05,596 --> 00:05:07,807
only one has ever mastered that move.

79
00:05:08,308 --> 00:05:09,851
Truly mastered it.

80
00:05:11,811 --> 00:05:14,314
Now, Katsumi, you need to hone that move,

81
00:05:14,397 --> 00:05:15,732
make it faster

82
00:05:16,441 --> 00:05:17,984
and even stronger.

83
00:05:18,693 --> 00:05:21,070
Don't squander
this natural gift you possess!

84
00:05:22,530 --> 00:05:23,698
[Payne] Chloroform.

85
00:05:23,781 --> 00:05:26,743
We pumped 140 dozen barrels of it
into the ring,

86
00:05:26,826 --> 00:05:29,078
and knocked him out
before he could get away

87
00:05:29,579 --> 00:05:32,123
Fortunately, it's 50% heavier than air,

88
00:05:32,206 --> 00:05:35,501
so it stays down there
and doesn't knock us out too.

89
00:05:35,585 --> 00:05:39,464
We're lucky he came back on his own,
next time he might not.

90
00:05:39,547 --> 00:05:43,009
It's imperative we construct
a facility that will properly contain him.

91
00:05:43,092 --> 00:05:45,720
We must never forget how fortunate we are

92
00:05:45,803 --> 00:05:48,348
to have such
a miraculous specimen as Pickle.

93
00:05:49,098 --> 00:05:51,851
For with that comes great responsibility.

94
00:05:51,934 --> 00:05:54,520
It's up to us to make sure
that nothing happens to him.

95
00:05:55,104 --> 00:05:58,149
[Strydum] Granted,
he's a Class-A, one-of-a kind resource

96
00:05:58,232 --> 00:06:00,276
for scientific research.

97
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,195
But he's not just some guinea pig.

98
00:06:02,862 --> 00:06:05,865
He's a human being
with feelings and a personality.

99
00:06:06,616 --> 00:06:10,495
I'm not sure we should be
treating him like a lab specimen.

100
00:06:11,329 --> 00:06:14,332
[Payne] Really? But it's all right
if we keep him fighting?

101
00:06:14,415 --> 00:06:15,792
Is that what you're saying?

102
00:06:15,875 --> 00:06:17,210
[Strydum] Hmm.

103
00:06:17,293 --> 00:06:20,338
We don't need to worry
about containing him, in my opinion.

104
00:06:20,421 --> 00:06:21,547
[Strydum and Payne] Hmm?

105
00:06:21,631 --> 00:06:24,300
Pickle won't be running off again.

106
00:06:24,384 --> 00:06:26,761
After his encounter with Baki,

107
00:06:26,844 --> 00:06:29,347
and before
you administered the chloroform,

108
00:06:29,430 --> 00:06:30,556
didn't you notice?

109
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,060
In all that time,
he didn't make a move to leave.

110
00:06:34,143 --> 00:06:35,061
[Strydum] Hmm.

111
00:06:35,144 --> 00:06:38,606
We've seen that he has the strength
to break through steel doors,

112
00:06:38,689 --> 00:06:40,316
but he didn't try to escape.

113
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:41,818
He chose to stay right here.

114
00:06:42,402 --> 00:06:43,569
Hmm?

115
00:06:43,653 --> 00:06:45,071
Hm.

116
00:06:46,406 --> 00:06:47,824
As far as he's concerned,

117
00:06:47,907 --> 00:06:49,992
this is an oasis.

118
00:06:50,076 --> 00:06:51,702
As long as he stays here,

119
00:06:51,786 --> 00:06:53,371
he'll never run out of food

120
00:06:54,122 --> 00:06:55,832
or companionship.

121
00:06:55,915 --> 00:06:58,334
So I'm quite sure.

122
00:06:58,418 --> 00:07:01,838
When Pickle wakes up,
he won't be trying to escape again.

123
00:07:02,422 --> 00:07:05,550
And it won't be because
of all these armed guards.

124
00:07:05,633 --> 00:07:06,843
[Strydum] I agree.

125
00:07:08,010 --> 00:07:09,178
Wait--

126
00:07:11,681 --> 00:07:13,099
[all cocking guns]

127
00:07:13,182 --> 00:07:14,892
[all gasp]

128
00:07:16,352 --> 00:07:18,604
[Pickle groans softly]

129
00:07:19,772 --> 00:07:21,107
[low growling]

130
00:07:21,190 --> 00:07:24,610
[growling sleepily]

131
00:07:24,694 --> 00:07:27,113
-He's just stretching.
-[relieved sigh]

132
00:07:27,697 --> 00:07:29,115
[tired grunting]

133
00:07:30,199 --> 00:07:33,870
[low growling]

134
00:07:34,454 --> 00:07:36,873
[Mitsunari] He's searching for something.

135
00:07:36,956 --> 00:07:39,375
For food. Or for companionship.

136
00:07:39,459 --> 00:07:40,751
Ridiculous…

137
00:07:40,835 --> 00:07:43,129
Hey there, Pickle!

138
00:07:44,172 --> 00:07:45,882
[growls softly]

139
00:07:45,965 --> 00:07:49,635
Don't worry, we'll feed you soon
and your friend will be back in a while.

140
00:07:49,719 --> 00:07:53,139
So you can go right on sleeping,
if you want, okay?

141
00:07:53,222 --> 00:07:56,642
Stop. You can't really think
he understands what you're saying?

142
00:07:56,726 --> 00:07:57,727
Hmm?

143
00:07:58,728 --> 00:08:00,980
[growls softly]

144
00:08:05,151 --> 00:08:06,152
[Payne gasps]

145
00:08:07,236 --> 00:08:09,739
[Mitsunari] The poor boy needs his rest.

146
00:08:09,822 --> 00:08:11,157
[Strydum] I agree.

147
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:21,834
[chuckles]

148
00:08:22,585 --> 00:08:26,631
I was never able to ball up a single page
of newspaper in my hand before.

149
00:08:27,632 --> 00:08:31,219
But now,
I can hide the whole thing in my fists.

150
00:08:33,012 --> 00:08:34,430
Next time Pickle and I meet,

151
00:08:35,014 --> 00:08:38,351
I'm gonna let loose
with everything I've got.

152
00:08:40,895 --> 00:08:41,729
[beep]

153
00:08:41,812 --> 00:08:43,689
[Katsumi] That's it. Right there.

154
00:08:43,773 --> 00:08:45,024
You see those lines?

155
00:08:45,107 --> 00:08:46,817
That's the shockwave.

156
00:08:48,277 --> 00:08:50,738
You know what it means
when a bullet or a jet airplane

157
00:08:50,821 --> 00:08:52,823
makes that kind of shockwave?

158
00:08:52,907 --> 00:08:54,951
That Mach speed has been surpassed.

159
00:08:55,993 --> 00:08:59,455
It usually takes gunpowder
or a jet engine to achieve that.

160
00:08:59,539 --> 00:09:01,457
But there's another object

161
00:09:01,541 --> 00:09:04,502
that can reach supersonic speed
under human power.

162
00:09:04,585 --> 00:09:06,212
-[clattering]
-[Retsu] Hmm?

163
00:09:06,295 --> 00:09:07,421
[Katsumi] This.

164
00:09:07,505 --> 00:09:08,589
A bullwhip.

165
00:09:09,799 --> 00:09:13,970
If you know how to swing
this woven leather thong just right…

166
00:09:16,222 --> 00:09:18,391
the tip of it can reach Mach speed.

167
00:09:19,850 --> 00:09:21,227
[grunts]

168
00:09:21,310 --> 00:09:22,562
[whip cracks]

169
00:09:23,312 --> 00:09:24,230
[groans]

170
00:09:24,313 --> 00:09:25,773
It's amazing, isn't it?

171
00:09:26,357 --> 00:09:28,317
You just snapped it in the air.

172
00:09:28,818 --> 00:09:30,736
You didn't even hit anything.

173
00:09:30,820 --> 00:09:33,906
Even so, we heard that loud crack.

174
00:09:33,990 --> 00:09:36,242
That's the sound of supersonic speed.

175
00:09:37,910 --> 00:09:41,163
[Katsumi] There it is.
I'm surprised they could get it on film.

176
00:09:41,831 --> 00:09:44,208
They must have been using
a super high-speed camera

177
00:09:44,292 --> 00:09:45,251
to capture that.

178
00:09:45,918 --> 00:09:47,753
All right, all right, I get it.

179
00:09:47,837 --> 00:09:50,840
That's the shockwave it makes
when it breaks Mach speed.

180
00:09:52,174 --> 00:09:54,260
[Katsumi] Theoretically, if done right,

181
00:09:54,343 --> 00:09:59,765
you could break Mach speed by using
the ten joints between your toes and fist.

182
00:09:59,849 --> 00:10:03,019
Mach speed's around 750 miles per hour.

183
00:10:03,102 --> 00:10:07,231
So you'd have to twist your joints
faster than 62 miles per hour.

184
00:10:08,691 --> 00:10:09,775
Impossible.

185
00:10:09,859 --> 00:10:10,735
Right.

186
00:10:11,319 --> 00:10:13,529
You'd need to bring more joints into play.

187
00:10:13,613 --> 00:10:16,782
Yes, more joints would help.
But where do we find 'em?

188
00:10:16,866 --> 00:10:17,700
Hmm.

189
00:10:18,618 --> 00:10:20,953
The backbone. The spine.

190
00:10:21,454 --> 00:10:22,830
[Katsumi] Exactly.

191
00:10:22,913 --> 00:10:26,042
The spine is made up of 31 bone joints

192
00:10:26,125 --> 00:10:30,338
And of those joints,
17 can accelerate simultaneously.

193
00:10:31,130 --> 00:10:34,300
Now we have 27 points of movement,

194
00:10:34,383 --> 00:10:36,802
so Mach speed can be achieved!

195
00:10:36,886 --> 00:10:37,803
[grunts]

196
00:10:37,887 --> 00:10:38,763
[grunts]

197
00:10:41,891 --> 00:10:43,809
[sizzling]

198
00:10:44,644 --> 00:10:45,686
[grunts softly]

199
00:10:45,770 --> 00:10:48,648
But Master Retsu,
will even this be enough?

200
00:10:48,731 --> 00:10:49,565
Hm?

201
00:10:49,649 --> 00:10:52,151
Will this punch be strong enough
to penetrate the muscle tissue

202
00:10:52,234 --> 00:10:53,819
of that primeval savage?

203
00:10:54,737 --> 00:10:57,239
Think of the opponents
he had to face in his day,

204
00:10:57,323 --> 00:10:59,033
how powerful they must have been.

205
00:10:59,116 --> 00:11:01,077
No, it won't be strong enough.

206
00:11:02,453 --> 00:11:04,080
[inhales, sighs]

207
00:11:04,163 --> 00:11:05,331
That's what I thought.

208
00:11:05,915 --> 00:11:09,085
But that move,
it has even greater potential.

209
00:11:09,877 --> 00:11:11,837
Unlock its full potential,

210
00:11:11,921 --> 00:11:13,923
and you'll get more speed and power--

211
00:11:14,924 --> 00:11:16,842
I know. From here.

212
00:11:17,510 --> 00:11:18,344
And from here.

213
00:11:19,178 --> 00:11:20,179
And from here.

214
00:11:22,181 --> 00:11:25,976
I know about using the first,
second and third joints of the fingers.

215
00:11:26,060 --> 00:11:27,853
They can give you even more thrust.

216
00:11:27,937 --> 00:11:31,273
I also know that if you want to add
more weight behind that thrust,

217
00:11:31,357 --> 00:11:33,859
you can always use this… …up here.

218
00:11:33,943 --> 00:11:34,777
Huh?

219
00:11:34,860 --> 00:11:37,363
[Katsumi] And no, I don't mean your mind.

220
00:11:37,446 --> 00:11:38,614
[grunts]

221
00:11:40,199 --> 00:11:41,575
I mean your head,

222
00:11:41,659 --> 00:11:43,536
the heaviest part of the human body.

223
00:11:44,036 --> 00:11:47,456
By making full use of its weight
and incorporating it into the blow,

224
00:11:47,540 --> 00:11:49,667
you can achieve a piercing nukite,

225
00:11:49,750 --> 00:11:52,211
the most perfect weapon
in the history of karate.

226
00:11:52,712 --> 00:11:53,963
[chuckles[

227
00:11:54,046 --> 00:11:55,339
"Lethal Weapon."

228
00:11:55,423 --> 00:11:56,882
Now I understand.

229
00:11:56,966 --> 00:11:58,801
No wonder people call you that.

230
00:12:00,803 --> 00:12:04,807
[narrator] Some time ago,
a certain Japanese man traveled to China.

231
00:12:05,766 --> 00:12:09,311
He fought many matches
against many martial artists,

232
00:12:09,395 --> 00:12:11,564
and was victorious every time.

233
00:12:12,314 --> 00:12:14,608
The man was Doppo Orochi.

234
00:12:15,276 --> 00:12:16,444
Back in Japan,

235
00:12:16,527 --> 00:12:20,573
Doppo discovered a boy in a circus
whose skills surpassed even his own.

236
00:12:21,157 --> 00:12:23,200
Intimidated, Doppo purchased the boy

237
00:12:23,284 --> 00:12:26,746
for a huge sum and made him an ally.

238
00:12:27,288 --> 00:12:28,497
[chuckles]

239
00:12:28,581 --> 00:12:29,957
My dad is awful.

240
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,169
I even heard that story in my own country.

241
00:12:33,919 --> 00:12:36,255
But when I look at you now,

242
00:12:36,338 --> 00:12:39,467
I wonder if at least some of it is true.

243
00:12:40,468 --> 00:12:42,970
It's true enough. Up to the circus.

244
00:12:43,637 --> 00:12:46,390
If my Dad had ever been
that much of a softie,

245
00:12:46,474 --> 00:12:48,726
my life would've been much easier,
believe me.

246
00:12:49,310 --> 00:12:51,729
Hmm. Well, anyway, you've done it.

247
00:12:51,812 --> 00:12:54,982
You've taken the blade-like
weapon known as "nukite,"

248
00:12:55,566 --> 00:12:59,987
and augmented it with the weight
and force of the human head.

249
00:13:00,070 --> 00:13:03,616
You've created a saber
with the weight of a battle-ax.

250
00:13:03,699 --> 00:13:06,911
To put it another way,
you've obtained the unobtainable.

251
00:13:08,370 --> 00:13:11,248
A perfect weapon, with supersonic speed.

252
00:13:11,332 --> 00:13:12,249
Hmph.

253
00:13:13,334 --> 00:13:14,251
Hmm.

254
00:13:15,127 --> 00:13:16,754
-[man laughs]
-[both gasp]

255
00:13:16,837 --> 00:13:17,922
[both gasp]

256
00:13:18,589 --> 00:13:20,007
[Retsu] Master Kaku!

257
00:13:20,591 --> 00:13:22,593
When did you arrive in Japan?

258
00:13:22,676 --> 00:13:26,180
If… if you had let me know,
I could have met you at the airport.

259
00:13:27,598 --> 00:13:28,849
[laughs]

260
00:13:28,933 --> 00:13:31,227
[Retsu] I didn't think
you'd get here so soon. Uh,

261
00:13:31,727 --> 00:13:33,521
Uh, and this is?

262
00:13:34,688 --> 00:13:36,315
This is Kaiou Kaku.

263
00:13:36,816 --> 00:13:39,276
The world's reigning master of kung fu.

264
00:13:39,860 --> 00:13:42,446
He's 146 years old.

265
00:13:42,530 --> 00:13:43,531
He is?

266
00:13:43,614 --> 00:13:45,825
[Retsu] But it's not
for his years of experience

267
00:13:45,908 --> 00:13:48,369
that he's the reigning master of kung fu.

268
00:13:48,452 --> 00:13:51,121
It's for the skills
that he still possesses!

269
00:13:51,872 --> 00:13:52,706
Sir!

270
00:13:56,377 --> 00:14:00,339
I've heard that the Japanese
were a very humble people.

271
00:14:01,173 --> 00:14:03,801
But then,
perhaps they have reason to be humble.

272
00:14:05,886 --> 00:14:06,804
Bam!

273
00:14:07,763 --> 00:14:10,182
Describing a move like that
as a "perfect weapon"

274
00:14:10,266 --> 00:14:14,061
seems to show a distinct lack of ambition,
if you'll pardon my saying.

275
00:14:14,144 --> 00:14:14,979
[Katsumi grunts]

276
00:14:15,062 --> 00:14:17,565
How long have you
been watching us, Master?

277
00:14:17,648 --> 00:14:20,317
Oh, a long time. The whole time.

278
00:14:20,401 --> 00:14:22,570
And listening to you too.

279
00:14:22,653 --> 00:14:23,612
[Retsu gulps]

280
00:14:24,446 --> 00:14:25,406
Oh, I see.

281
00:14:25,906 --> 00:14:28,576
Master, if you have some ad-- [grunts]

282
00:14:28,659 --> 00:14:29,869
Tell me,

283
00:14:29,952 --> 00:14:33,080
is there anything really perfect
in this world?

284
00:14:33,664 --> 00:14:35,583
As a matter of fact, there is.

285
00:14:38,669 --> 00:14:41,338
How's this? Is this what you wanted?

286
00:14:41,422 --> 00:14:44,091
It is. Now, then, watch carefully.

287
00:14:44,174 --> 00:14:45,593
I'll show you

288
00:14:45,676 --> 00:14:47,678
the perfect move.

289
00:14:48,178 --> 00:14:49,096
[whooshing]

290
00:14:55,185 --> 00:14:56,145
[gasps]

291
00:14:56,687 --> 00:14:57,563
[gasps]

292
00:15:00,232 --> 00:15:01,442
Pretty sweet, eh?

293
00:15:01,525 --> 00:15:02,359
[slurps]

294
00:15:02,443 --> 00:15:06,113
Takes more than just 27 joints,
I can tell you.

295
00:15:06,196 --> 00:15:08,699
If you want to get
maximum acceleration on a move,

296
00:15:08,782 --> 00:15:10,993
there's any number of joints you can use.

297
00:15:11,076 --> 00:15:14,038
In fact, there are
as many as you can think of.

298
00:15:14,121 --> 00:15:14,997
[slurps]

299
00:15:21,587 --> 00:15:22,755
[sighs]

300
00:15:22,838 --> 00:15:24,256
[Kaku] Listen here.

301
00:15:25,215 --> 00:15:27,009
I don't need any 27 joints.

302
00:15:27,092 --> 00:15:30,262
All I need are the joints
between my fingertips and my shoulder.

303
00:15:30,346 --> 00:15:34,642
I can achieve supersonic speed
using just these joints.

304
00:15:34,725 --> 00:15:36,060
Incredible, isn't it?

305
00:15:37,394 --> 00:15:38,646
Of course, when I say

306
00:15:38,729 --> 00:15:41,774
that I'm limiting myself
to the use of those few joints,

307
00:15:41,857 --> 00:15:44,526
in fact, that's actually not true.

308
00:15:44,610 --> 00:15:46,570
Forget anatomical structure,

309
00:15:46,654 --> 00:15:49,114
I give myself as many joints
as I can imagine.

310
00:15:49,198 --> 00:15:51,283
And the imagination is limitless.

311
00:15:51,367 --> 00:15:52,493
[shuddering breathing]

312
00:15:52,576 --> 00:15:54,787
[Kaku] You understand, Japanese samurai?

313
00:15:55,871 --> 00:15:58,290
[Katsumi] The imagination is limitless…

314
00:16:03,045 --> 00:16:06,674
Joints that don't really exist.

315
00:16:07,383 --> 00:16:09,218
I can increase

316
00:16:10,010 --> 00:16:12,221
the number of joints.

317
00:16:13,889 --> 00:16:15,808
If the actual structure's like this,

318
00:16:16,350 --> 00:16:18,143
then imagine it like this.

319
00:16:18,894 --> 00:16:19,979
Or like this.

320
00:16:21,855 --> 00:16:24,566
No, It's ridiculous!

321
00:16:24,650 --> 00:16:28,153
Am I supposed to believe
that the imagination can overcome reality?

322
00:16:28,237 --> 00:16:29,071
No way.

323
00:16:29,780 --> 00:16:30,656
An egg.

324
00:16:31,198 --> 00:16:34,076
Why is an egg's body
surrounded by a shell?

325
00:16:34,159 --> 00:16:35,911
Obviously, to protect it.

326
00:16:35,995 --> 00:16:37,371
Its body is fragile.

327
00:16:38,664 --> 00:16:39,665
That's it!

328
00:16:40,165 --> 00:16:43,085
It needed protection,
so it created a shell.

329
00:16:44,294 --> 00:16:45,629
Yes, that's it!

330
00:16:46,171 --> 00:16:49,717
When the leaves it needed to eat in order
to survive were too high to reach,

331
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,885
the giraffe created a long neck.

332
00:16:52,428 --> 00:16:54,263
The elephant, a trunk.

333
00:16:54,805 --> 00:16:57,474
Yes! They did it to survive!

334
00:16:58,058 --> 00:16:59,560
The stripes on a zebra.

335
00:16:59,643 --> 00:17:01,395
The stripes on a tiger.

336
00:17:01,478 --> 00:17:03,105
The spots on a leopard.

337
00:17:03,188 --> 00:17:04,773
An insect's camouflage.

338
00:17:04,857 --> 00:17:06,233
A bird's wings.

339
00:17:06,316 --> 00:17:07,693
A cobra's poison.

340
00:17:07,776 --> 00:17:09,862
They were all created for survival.

341
00:17:13,115 --> 00:17:15,325
The animals' tenacity for life,

342
00:17:15,409 --> 00:17:19,329
it was thanks to that they achieved
these incredible evolutionary advances.

343
00:17:20,706 --> 00:17:22,666
Compared to what they've accomplished,

344
00:17:22,750 --> 00:17:26,003
the body modifications
achieved by humans for battle,

345
00:17:26,086 --> 00:17:27,212
they're insignificant.

346
00:17:27,713 --> 00:17:30,424
They're such negligible evolutions.

347
00:17:32,426 --> 00:17:33,510
It can be done!

348
00:17:34,094 --> 00:17:35,179
Like this.

349
00:17:35,262 --> 00:17:36,638
No. Like this…

350
00:17:38,432 --> 00:17:39,266
No!

351
00:17:39,349 --> 00:17:40,684
Like this!

352
00:17:42,811 --> 00:17:43,771
[whooshing]

353
00:17:50,694 --> 00:17:51,653
[Doppo] There you go.

354
00:17:51,737 --> 00:17:52,905
Thank you, sir.

355
00:17:52,988 --> 00:17:56,909
Thank you for coming all the way
out here to help my fool of a son.

356
00:17:57,493 --> 00:17:58,786
Your son?

357
00:17:58,869 --> 00:18:00,954
[chuckles] Think nothing of it.

358
00:18:03,082 --> 00:18:03,916
Retsu.

359
00:18:03,999 --> 00:18:04,833
Hm?

360
00:18:04,917 --> 00:18:08,170
[Kaku] Is it true you once defeated
that boy with a single blow?

361
00:18:08,670 --> 00:18:09,630
[murmuring]

362
00:18:09,713 --> 00:18:11,173
[Doppo] I'm sad to say,

363
00:18:11,256 --> 00:18:12,716
yes, it's true.

364
00:18:13,759 --> 00:18:17,179
I find that
a bit hard to believe. [slurps]

365
00:18:19,014 --> 00:18:20,099
[appreciative groan]

366
00:18:20,182 --> 00:18:21,934
It was long ago.

367
00:18:22,017 --> 00:18:24,436
Katsumi's a very different man now.

368
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,189
Mm, and how would it turn out now?

369
00:18:27,272 --> 00:18:28,690
Hm. Hmm.

370
00:18:28,774 --> 00:18:31,443
How would it turn out now?
It's hard to say.

371
00:18:31,527 --> 00:18:34,530
Well, if even the great master fighter,
Sea King Retsu,

372
00:18:34,613 --> 00:18:36,031
is uncertain of the outcome,

373
00:18:36,115 --> 00:18:38,575
then the natural talents
of this Katsumi Orochi

374
00:18:38,659 --> 00:18:40,202
must be truly extraordinary.

375
00:18:41,078 --> 00:18:43,705
[grunts] I'd agree with that.

376
00:18:44,414 --> 00:18:47,709
He's probably already mastered
that new punch I just taught him.

377
00:18:48,293 --> 00:18:52,464
In fact, by now
he may have done more than just master it.

378
00:18:52,548 --> 00:18:54,466
[grunting]

379
00:18:54,550 --> 00:18:55,634
Uh…

380
00:18:56,552 --> 00:18:59,221
[Kaku] Judging by his abilities,

381
00:18:59,888 --> 00:19:02,224
he may well have surpassed it.

382
00:19:03,308 --> 00:19:05,561
[Baki] This is it. I can feel it.

383
00:19:06,061 --> 00:19:07,855
All my preparations are complete.

384
00:19:08,647 --> 00:19:10,232
To throw the greatest punch,

385
00:19:10,315 --> 00:19:12,442
this is the stance I must use.

386
00:19:13,485 --> 00:19:15,362
I need to be loose in every sinew.

387
00:19:15,445 --> 00:19:17,447
In every corner of my body.

388
00:19:17,948 --> 00:19:19,825
As loose as mush,

389
00:19:20,450 --> 00:19:22,578
and ready for the opportunity.

390
00:19:23,787 --> 00:19:26,248
I need to stop
thinking of my fist as weapon

391
00:19:26,748 --> 00:19:30,878
and hold it in such a way that the fingers
are neither clenched nor fully open.

392
00:19:31,628 --> 00:19:34,131
In the same way the fingers
are neither nor open

393
00:19:34,214 --> 00:19:35,674
at the beginning of life,

394
00:19:35,757 --> 00:19:37,634
when the hands are first formed.

395
00:19:38,260 --> 00:19:40,637
And then imagine my joints…

396
00:19:40,721 --> 00:19:42,723
[rock music playing]

397
00:19:43,473 --> 00:19:44,850
…like this!

398
00:19:46,476 --> 00:19:47,853
[panting]

399
00:19:47,936 --> 00:19:49,897
Look at me, I'm trembling.

400
00:19:50,981 --> 00:19:53,358
I'm just throwing a punch in empty space,

401
00:19:53,442 --> 00:19:56,320
a move that's made every day in any dojo,

402
00:19:56,403 --> 00:19:57,654
and I'm trembling.

403
00:19:58,488 --> 00:20:00,407
I must focus on that image.

404
00:20:00,490 --> 00:20:03,410
That I'm moving only my arm,
from the shoulder down,

405
00:20:03,493 --> 00:20:05,412
but with all my body,

406
00:20:05,495 --> 00:20:07,122
with all my might!

407
00:20:08,498 --> 00:20:09,917
[grunts]

408
00:20:11,126 --> 00:20:12,419
[glass shattering]

409
00:20:13,337 --> 00:20:14,546
[rumbling]

410
00:20:15,505 --> 00:20:16,840
[shocked gasping]

411
00:20:17,507 --> 00:20:18,800
[shocked gasping]

412
00:20:20,010 --> 00:20:21,929
[Terada panting heavily]

413
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:24,765
Oh!

414
00:20:24,848 --> 00:20:26,683
[gentle revelatory music playing]

415
00:20:28,352 --> 00:20:30,145
[Terada] Uh, Chairman?

416
00:20:31,772 --> 00:20:33,315
You know what, Terada?

417
00:20:33,398 --> 00:20:35,150
It's a great feeling

418
00:20:35,234 --> 00:20:38,528
when you're able to master something,
even if it's just one thing.

419
00:20:39,029 --> 00:20:40,364
Okay.

420
00:20:40,447 --> 00:20:42,449
So, what the heck is it that you mastered?

421
00:20:42,532 --> 00:20:44,159
A killer move.

422
00:20:44,243 --> 00:20:45,202
A new one.

423
00:20:45,702 --> 00:20:47,496
[Terada] And you've mastered it, huh?

424
00:20:48,038 --> 00:20:49,957
-[shocked exclamations]
-Huh?

425
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,960
-[man] What just happened?
-Hey, calm down, all of you!

426
00:20:53,043 --> 00:20:54,753
[chuckling]

427
00:20:54,836 --> 00:20:55,963
You could say that.

428
00:20:57,172 --> 00:20:58,632
But have I mastered it?

429
00:20:59,216 --> 00:21:00,759
It's so hard to tell.

430
00:21:01,551 --> 00:21:05,138
I never imagined this is what
it would Feel like to master something.

431
00:21:08,058 --> 00:21:08,976
Huh?

432
00:21:10,060 --> 00:21:12,062
Oh. Rumina.

433
00:21:12,688 --> 00:21:14,690
Did you hear that just now?

434
00:21:15,607 --> 00:21:18,443
What did you hear? A noise? A voice?

435
00:21:18,527 --> 00:21:20,320
Oh, forget it. It was nothing.

436
00:21:21,571 --> 00:21:24,491
Hey, wait. Do you have a fight coming up?

437
00:21:24,574 --> 00:21:26,743
Yup. Any minute now.

438
00:21:27,327 --> 00:21:30,247
If that's what I think it was,
I've got to hurry.

439
00:21:31,415 --> 00:21:32,332
[gasps]

440
00:21:34,334 --> 00:21:36,086
Are you gonna fight Strydum?!

441
00:21:37,587 --> 00:21:38,672
Oh, hey.

442
00:21:40,340 --> 00:21:42,009
[whooshing]

443
00:21:42,092 --> 00:21:43,510
[grunts softly]

444
00:21:44,469 --> 00:21:46,305
Who are you getting ready to fight?

445
00:21:47,097 --> 00:21:48,598
Don't you need an opponent?

446
00:21:50,517 --> 00:21:52,019
Oh, it's coming.

447
00:21:58,608 --> 00:21:59,568
[both] Huh?

448
00:22:00,610 --> 00:22:03,280
[Rumina] I know what he's doing.
He's imagining it.

449
00:22:06,366 --> 00:22:08,035
[Baki] You two better stand back.

450
00:22:08,869 --> 00:22:10,120
[narrator] At this point,

451
00:22:10,203 --> 00:22:13,540
the only one who knew
who or what Baki's opponent was…

452
00:22:14,666 --> 00:22:16,293
Whoa! It's huge!

453
00:22:17,127 --> 00:22:19,087
…was Baki himself.

454
00:22:22,299 --> 00:22:24,176
[dramatic theme music playing]

455
00:23:47,801 --> 00:23:49,177
[music fades out]
