**[00:06] (Flashback) Matakara (2nd grade)**
What does that say?
**[00:09] (Flashback) Mitsukuni (7th grade)**
"A Honki Person is one who finds
a heart that does not flee."
**[00:15] (Flashback) Matakara (2nd grade)**
Does "Honki" mean you're strong
and a good fighter?
**[00:19] (Flashback) Mitsukuni (7th grade)**
Not just strong, but strong and pure.
**[00:33] (Flashback) Matakara (2nd grade)**
What's that thing watching from the back?
**[00:43] (Flashback) Mitsukuni (7th grade)**
It's something that sneaks in through
the cracks in weak people's hearts.
**[00:49] (Flashback) Mitsukuni (7th grade)**
Being a Honki Person...
**[00:54] (Flashback) Mitsukuni (7th grade)**
means that you never run away.
**[00:57] (Flashback) Matakara (2nd grade)**
Never run away...
**[01:10] Matakara**
See you later.
**[02:51] Arajin**
Mahoro-chan!
**[02:53] Arajin**
Sorry I'm so late!
***SIGN*** #08 Sad News! Seriously Falling in Love with Gomoku Soba!
**[02:55] Mahoro**
I'd rather eat alone.
**[02:57] Matakara**
I know what you mean!
I hate crowded places so much.
**[03:02] Yayako**
*Seriously-falling-in-love gomoku soba!*
**[03:05] Arajin**
Old hag.
**[03:07] Mahoro**
That looks good!
**[03:08] Arajin**
Huh? Did you seriously fall in love?
**[03:13] Arajin**
I'm sorry I put you in such
an uncomfortable spot.
**[03:16] Arajin**
It really did hurt me to
have to fight your brother.
**[03:20] Arajin**
But now, I think your brother will
be able to retire without regret.
**[03:24] Arajin**
So, Mahoro-chan, will you...
**[03:27] Arajin**
go... g-g-g-go... go out—
**[03:29] Matakara**
Ara-chan!
**[03:31] Arajin**
Ew.
**[03:32] Matakara**
Hey, Jin-san.
**[03:34] Arajin**
Uh... Mahoro-chan?
**[03:36] Matakara**
Let's eat together.
**[03:38] Arajin**
I can't believe you!
**[03:40] Arajin**
Are you gonna take responsibility
for screwing up my life?!
**[03:45] Matakara**
Huh?
**[03:47] Matakara**
So listen. For my brother's
welcome-home party...
**[03:50] Matakara**
I was wondering if we could
do it at your restaurant.
**[03:53] Arajin**
At my place?
**[03:54] Matakara**
He said he wants to stuff his face
with good food when he gets home.
**[03:57] Matakara**
I'm sure he'd love the gyoza at your place.
**[04:02] Matakara**
Or is that a bad idea?
**[04:05] Arajin**
Nah, it's probably okay.
**[04:06] Matakara**
Really?
**[04:07] Matakara**
Awesome!
**[04:09] Matakara**
Thank you!
**[04:11] Komao**
We'll have a big feast!
**[04:13] Komao**
Oh, yeah, a real big feast! Real big feast!
**[04:16] Zabu**
Why the hell do you have to
do it at that guy's place?
**[04:17] Komao**
Real big feasty feast!
**[04:19] Matakara**
I want my brother to eat some good food.
**[04:22] Matakara**
You're both coming, right?
**[04:24] Komao**
You bet! You bet!
**[04:27] Zabu**
Well, yeah. I'll be there.
**[04:31] Matakara**
Ken-san, I'd love for you to come
to my brother's welcome-home party.
***SIGN*** Attending
**[04:38] Matakara**
Thank you very much!
**[04:39] Matakara**
I'm sure my brother will be very happy.
**[04:42] Senya**
We're doing it! Heave-ho, heave-ho!
**[04:46] Senya**
Heave-ho, heave-ho!
**[04:46] Arajin**
Shut up, man. What are you
getting so excited for?
**[04:49] Senya**
C'mon, it's Matakara's big bro!
He's gotta be super tough!
**[04:53] Arajin**
I've only met him a few times, but it
sounds like he's stronger than Ken-san.
**[04:59] Senya**
Yahoo!
**[05:00] Senya**
Heave-ho, here we go! Merging time!
**[05:05] Arajin**
Listen, man...
**[05:07] Arajin**
Why do you want to keep
merging with me, anyway?
**[05:10] Senya**
W-Well, you know, I just want...
**[05:15] Senya**
to build a happy family together with you.
**[05:19] Arajin**
I absolutely refuse!

Hey, don't get so rough, guys!
**[05:28] NG Boys 1**
Always acting like you're the shit.
**[05:31] Akutaro**
Please stop! I'm begging you.
**[05:35] Matakara**
Cut it out.
**[05:37] NG Boys 2**
It's Asamine.
**[05:39] Matakara**
At least take him on one at a time.
**[05:41] NG Boys 1**
Huh?
**[05:43] NG Boys 1**
Do you have any idea what
this asshole put us through?
**[05:47] Matakara**
If you don't stop now,
then you're fighting me.
**[05:52] NG Boys 1**
Tch. Let's split.
**[06:02] Akutaro**
Ouch, ouch, ouch.
**[06:03] Matakara**
Are you all right?
**[06:05] Akutaro**
Thank you for helping me.
**[06:10] Matakara**
Okay, then.
**[06:13] Akutaro**
I'm very sorry about before!
**[06:17] Matakara**
Huh?
**[06:17] Matakara**
Hey, come on...
**[06:20] Akutaro**
Arajin-kun helped me
realize my own mistakes!
**[06:24] Akutaro**
When I faced his true power...
it almost felt like...
**[06:29] Akutaro**
he was a Honki Person.
**[06:31] Matakara**
Huh?
**[06:32] Akutaro**
Actually, I tried to become one, too.
**[06:36] Akutaro**
A Honki Person.
**[06:37] Akutaro**
I'm ashamed to say
I eventually gave up, though.
**[06:44] Matakara**
I wanted to become a Honki Person, too.
**[06:48] Matakara**
A long time ago, Ara-chan
and I used to train for it here.
**[06:52] Akutaro**
No wonder you two are so tough.
**[06:56] Matakara**
But I couldn't even compare to him.
**[07:00] Akutaro**
Even though you trained together?
Now that sounds odd.
**[07:04] Akutaro**
Oh! Unless... I don't know...
**[07:09] Matakara**
What is it?
**[07:11] Akutaro**
I might have just figured out
**[07:14] Akutaro**
how Arajin-kun got so strong.
**[07:18] Akutaro**
This is just between us,
**[07:21] Akutaro**
but this temple holds a secret, see?
**[07:26] Matakara**
A secret?
**[07:30] Akutaro**
Ah, but maybe it's better if you don't know.
**[07:33] Akutaro**
Sorry. Forget I said anything.
**[07:38] Akutaro**
Bye, Matakara-kun.

You're getting revenge
against Doman Kenichiro,
**[07:55] Ichiya**
the man who betrayed you, right?
**[07:57] Ichiya**
You and I both hide grudges
deep within our hearts.
**[08:02] Ichiya**
Essentially, we are one and the same.
**[08:05] Akutaro**
You don't have to remind me.

They're gettin' Honki!
**[08:15] Matakara**
So you like pro wrestling now?
**[08:17] Arajin**
Hell no. He makes me put it on.
**[08:21] Yayako**
Looks like they're coming along nicely!
**[08:23] Matakara**
Thank you for letting us
reserve the whole restaurant.
**[08:26] Yayako**
It's fine, it's fine!
I'm looking forward to seeing him, too.
**[08:29] Yayako**
So how old is your brother now?
**[08:31] Matakara**
He's 21.
**[08:32] Yayako**
The ideal age!
**[08:33] Arajin**
Go buy your damn ingredients already!
**[08:35] Yayako**
Okay, I'll leave the rest to you chu!
**[08:40] Arajin**
You suck at this. You're squeezing too hard.
**[08:43] Arajin**
You gotta use less filling. Like this.
**[08:47] Matakara**
Ara-chan, you really are good at this!
**[08:50] Arajin**
Don't underestimate the son
of Chinese restaurant owners.
**[08:53] Matakara**
I'll give it a try.
**[08:56] Arajin**
You get to eat that one.
**[09:03] Matakara**
I made gyoza with my brother once,
**[09:06] Matakara**
but they all got burnt
and didn't taste good at all.
**[09:12] Arajin**
Your brother sucks at it, too?
**[09:14] Arajin**
Then why don't you teach him?
**[09:16] Matakara**
Huh?
**[09:18] Arajin**
Aren't you gonna live together again?
**[09:22] Matakara**
Yeah.
**[09:23] Matakara**
Once I save up more money,
we're going to rent an apartment together.
**[09:27] Matakara**
When we do, you gotta come over!
**[09:29] Arajin**
I'm gonna be busy with Mahoro-chan, so no way.
**[09:31] Matakara**
Then bring Jin-san with you!
**[09:33] Arajin**
Not a chance!

Asamine Matakara-kun?
**[11:39] Matakara**
Yes, that's me.
**[11:40] Staff**
Right now, Mitsukuni-kun is...
**[11:53] Zabu**
Is Matakara-kun home?
**[11:55] Woman**
He hasn't come home since yesterday.
**[11:57] Woman**
And he isn't answering his phone.
**[12:00] Zabu**
Did something happen?
**[12:02] Woman**
Well, yes. It's his older brother.
**[12:07] Komao**
Caw!
**[12:09] Komao**
Caw, caw!
**[12:10] Komao**
What was up with Matakara?
**[12:13] Komao**
Hey.
**[12:14] Komao**
I said hey!

Where would he usually go?
***SIGN*** Welcome Home, Mitsukuni

Damn it. If you aren't coming,
at least let us know!
**[12:27] Yayako**
If you see him at school, tell him
he's still welcome any time.
**[12:34] Arajin**
Mahoro-chan! I found a totally perfect stone!
**[12:38] Mahoro**
Mm.
**[12:39] Arajin**
It's called a lake blue soapstone.
**[12:41] Arajin**
It would be perfect for you!
**[12:43] Mahoro**
Mm.
**[12:44] Arajin**
This time I'm gonna carve it
in a font called seal script.
**[12:49] Zabu**
I need you for a minute.
**[12:50] Arajin**
Um, I'm kinda busy right now.
**[12:53] Komao**
Come on, don't be shy.
**[12:54] Arajin**
Hey!
**[12:54] Arajin**
Class is about to start!
**[12:58] Arajin**
Huh? Matakara's brother?
**[13:03] Komao**
There was a fight at juvie.
He tried to break it up and got stabbed.
**[13:08] Zabu**
They say he isn't gonna make it.
**[13:12] Komao**
It sounds like Matakara hasn't
been home since yesterday.
**[13:15] Komao**
He isn't at the hospital, either.
You have any idea where he might go?
**[13:20] Arajin**
I don't know.
**[13:21] Komao**
Maybe somewhere he and his brother used to—
**[13:23] Arajin**
I said I don't know!
**[13:25] Arajin**
You guys know him a lot better than I do!
**[13:29] Zabu**
If we knew, why the hell
would we be asking you?!
**[13:31] Zabu**
Isn't Matakara supposed to be your buddy?!
**[13:35] Arajin**
No, he's not my buddy.
**[13:39] Komao**
There's no point in asking
this asshole. Let's go.
**[13:43] Senya**
Matakara's probably going
through hell right now.
**[13:47] Senya**
Someone he cares so much about,
ending up like that...
**[13:52] Arajin**
Mahoro-chan?
**[13:55] Arajin**
Those guys hassle me for no reason,
and now I don't even get to see Mahoro-chan.
**[14:10] Matakara**
Brother...
**[14:12] Matakara**
Tell me this isn't real.
**[14:15] Matakara**
Please...
**[15:15] Yayako**
Matakara-kun!
**[15:18] Yayako**
I heard about your brother. Are you... okay?
**[15:26] Matakara**
Is Ara-chan home?
**[15:28] Yayako**
Yes. Come in.
**[15:39] Matakara**
Ara-chan.
**[16:09] (Flashback) Zabu**
Matakara.
**[16:11] (Flashback) Zabu**
That little punk's got a nasty
monkey or something on his back.
**[16:14] (Flashback) Akutaro**
This temple holds a secret, see?
**[16:37] Arajin**
What is it?
**[16:47] Matakara**
Shindo-san?
**[16:49] Akutaro**
You saw that thing, didn't you?
**[16:53] Akutaro**
That thing is the only reason
Arajin-kun got so strong so quickly.
**[16:57] Akutaro**
His strength is completely faked! You see?
**[17:01] Matakara**
You're lying! I don't believe that at all!
**[17:04] Akutaro**
But you saw it, didn't you?
There's a creature possessing him.
**[17:08] Matakara**
You're wrong.
**[17:10] Matakara**
Ara-chan is strong!
**[17:12] Akutaro**
Arajin isn't a Honki Person at all.
**[17:15] Akutaro**
He's been
**[17:17] Akutaro**
fooling you this whole time!
**[17:19] Matakara**
You're wrong!
**[17:29] Arajin**
Yeah, but why me?
**[17:30] Senya**
He wanted to see you for something, right?
**[17:33] Senya**
Go see him. You're buddies, aren't you?
**[17:35] Arajin**
I told you, he's not my buddy.
**[17:37] Senya**
But aren't you at least worried about him?
After what happened to his brother?
**[17:42] Senya**
You've gotta have some idea, right?
A memorable spot for him and his brother?
**[17:47] Arajin**
How would I even remember someth—
**[17:58] Arajin**
Matakara.
**[18:03] Matakara**
Ara-chan.
**[18:04] Arajin**
I heard about your brother. You okay?
**[18:09] Arajin**
Weren't you just at my place?
**[18:11] Arajin**
Did you want to talk to me or something?
**[18:16] Matakara**
I saw that thing.
**[18:18] Matakara**
A monster or something came out of you.
**[18:23] Matakara**
But your strength doesn't
all come from that thing.
**[18:26] Matakara**
That's a lie, right?
Your strength is for real, right?
**[18:32] Matakara**
I believe in you. I know
you're stronger than anyone.
**[18:36] Matakara**
And that you'd never run away!
**[18:42] Arajin**
I couldn't tell you this before...
**[18:46] Arajin**
But remember when those older kids
chased us down and really beat you up?
**[18:51] Matakara**
I know I was too weak then.
**[18:55] Matakara**
That's probably why you didn't want to
keep training to be Honki People with me.
**[19:03] Matakara**
But I'm gonna keep getting
stronger and stronger,
**[19:06] Matakara**
so let's start over and keep
working to be Honki People!
**[19:09] Arajin**
You're wrong.
**[19:11] Arajin**
I...
**[19:14] Arajin**
abandoned you and ran.
**[19:16] Matakara**
Huh?
**[19:19] Arajin**
When I saw you pass out, I ran away.
**[19:24] Matakara**
No way.
**[19:26] Matakara**
There's no way you'd do that, Ara-chan.
**[19:29] Arajin**
I'm not the kind of guy you think I am.
**[19:33] Matakara**
You're lying!
**[19:35] Matakara**
You're strong, Ara-chan!
I know you'd never run away!
**[19:38] Arajin**
I'm telling you you're wrong!
**[19:41] Arajin**
I'm weak! I ran away because I'm weak!
**[19:45] Arajin**
I was never strong enough to begin with!
**[19:48] Arajin**
Quit pretending I'm someone I'm not!
**[19:56] Arajin**
That thing you saw is called Senya.
**[19:59] Arajin**
I only got stronger because I used his power.
**[20:03] Matakara**
So you were lying to me this whole time?
**[20:08] Matakara**
Even when you told me you wanted
to become Honki People?
**[20:13] Arajin**
Matakara, I'm not trying to
become a Honki Person anymore.
**[20:30] Senya**
Heave-ho!
**[20:30] Arajin**
Ouch! What the hell are you doing?!
**[20:33] Senya**
You feeling better now?
**[20:35] Arajin**
Huh?
**[20:39] Arajin**
Why would that make me feel any better?
**[21:06] Akutaro**
It's okay.
**[21:08] Akutaro**
Your worries are over now.
**[21:11] Akutaro**
You've suffered enough, haven't you?
**[21:14] Akutaro**
So stand up.
**[21:17] Akutaro**
Hold this good and tight.
**[21:19] Akutaro**
This will release you from your suffering.
