**[00:18] (Flashback) Boss**
Move!
**[00:22] Cestvs**
*What?*
**[00:25] (Flashback) Ruddock**
Idiot! What are you doing?
**[00:28] (Flashback) Cestvs**
If I were bigger and stronger...
**[00:31] (Flashback) Cestvs**
If only I were as big as
Ruddock or my master...
**[00:35] (Flashback) Cestvs**
I lack strength. I lack power!
**[00:50] (Flashback) Zafar**
I guarantee you'll face dangerous opponents
who you'll have to get before they get you.
**[00:55] (Flashback) Zafar**
If you intend to face your destiny
rather than run from it...
**[01:00] (Flashback) Zafar**
If you feel you need power
from the bottom of your heart,
**[01:04] (Flashback) Zafar**
then I shall teach you a killer move that
will down your opponents in a single blow.
**[01:09] (Flashback) Cestvs**
A killer move that will down my
opponents in a single blow...
**[01:13] (Flashback) Zafar**
Imperfection is no excuse in a fight.
**[01:16] (Flashback) Zafar**
You'll have to spend your remaining
time mastering the technique.
**[01:19] (Flashback) Zafar**
Don't give up on me.
**[01:20] (Flashback) Cestvs**
Thank you, Master.
**[01:23] Cestvs**
* Grant these hands the strength to*
* strike a single knockout punch!*
**[01:36] (Flashback) Sabina**
That boy trampled on the hand I offered him.
**[01:40] (Flashback) Sabina**
After I offered to make him my
chamberlain! Can you believe it?
**[01:44] Emden**
* Ch-Chamberlain? She wanted*
* that boy by her side?*
**[01:48] (Flashback) Sabina**
So he must be punished.
**[01:51] (Flashback) Sabina**
He's a fighting slave. You're the
only one who can do it, Emden.
**[01:56] (Flashback) Emden**
You can count on me, Lady Sabina.
**[01:59] Emden**
* For 16 years, despite serving*
* her with the utmost sincerity,*
**[02:03] Emden**
*she never offered me any kind words.*
**[02:07] Emden**
*Not once.*
**[02:09] Emden**
* But that boy who appeared*
* a mere two weeks ago...*
**[02:13] Emden**
*A slave like me, and an outsider...*
**[02:17] Emden**
*What am I, a useless dog?*
**[02:20] Emden**
* Is the bloody undefeated*
* record I worked so hard for*
**[02:22] Emden**
*worth less than the whims of a woman?*
**[02:26] Emden**
* No. She doesn't know the*
* weight of a single victory.*
**[02:31] Emden**
*She never understood the feelings of one who*
**[02:33] Emden**
* walks through battlefields*
* where only the strongest survive!*
**[02:37] Emden**
* Very well. Even if my freedom is to*
* be unrewarding, I shall win it myself.*
**[02:42] Emden**
* Let this all-consuming*
* jealousy propel my fists!*
**[02:47] Guard**
Get out here, Emden. You're up.
**[02:49] Guard**
Get out here, Cestvs. You're up.
***SIGN*** Surviving Until Tomorrow
**[04:26] Announce**
And now, the final fight of the
first day of the tournament.
**[04:29] Announce**
He needs two more victories to
achieve his undefeated record,
**[04:31] Announce**
and he's about to take on the
first threat to his legend.
**[04:35] Announce**
A man who has never known defeat,
and Pompeii's strongest boxer.
**[04:38] Announce**
Entering the arena from the north gate...
**[04:42] Announce**
The Poppaea family's taciturn
gatekeeper, Emden the Guard Dog!
**[04:48] All**
Emden! Emden! Emden!
**[04:53] Pedro**
The crowd's so excited.
**[04:55] Hernando**
His arm guards go all the way to the elbows.
**[04:57] Hernando**
Have you ever seen anything like that?
**[04:59] Zafar**
Yeah. He probably intends to receive and
withstand all of his opponent's attacks.
**[05:04] Zafar**
No wonder he has to train while
wearing those heavy shackles.
**[05:07] Zafar**
* But how will he attack*
* with his arms like that?*
**[05:12] Announce**
His challenger is a fresh young
fighter and vagabond fighting slave.
**[05:15] Announce**
Does his young age make him fearless,
or is he a precocious hero?
**[05:18] Announce**
Entering from the south gate...
**[05:21] Announce**
From Drisco's boxing group,
Cestvs the Young Boxer!
**[05:31] Announce**
To the center.
**[05:33] Mob**
Hey, he's still just a kid!
**[05:36] Mob**
He's clearly in his teens!
**[05:37] Mob**
I'm disappointed in you, Emden!
**[05:39] Mob**
You trying to take it easy at the end, huh?
**[05:42] Mob**
There's nothing respectable
about beating a kid!
**[05:48] Cestvs**
*He's shorter than I thought.*
**[05:50] Cestvs**
* In his fighting stance,*
* he should be shorter than me.*
**[05:52] Cestvs**
*As long as I don't give in to the pressure...*
**[05:54] Mob**
Get a new opponent, Emden!
**[05:56] Mob**
Go home, kid! Call off the fight!
**[05:59] Fabrice**
This isn't good.
**[06:01] Fabrice**
Who knew the crowd would get this upset?
**[06:04] Sabina**
*It doesn't matter how the crowd reacts.*
**[06:07] Sabina**
*You know that, Emden.*
**[06:10] Emden**
* I see. He's got exactly the kind of*
* sweet face that women would like.*
**[06:14] Emden**
* But this isn't the theater.*
* It's the field of battle.*
**[06:20] Emden**
*This is a disgrace.*
**[06:21] Emden**
* I can't believe I have to fight*
* while the crowd jeers at me.*
**[06:27] Emden**
* Unless I easily crush this boy and defeat*
* the other boxer I have to fight today,*
**[06:32] Emden**
*this will leave a stain on my record.*
**[06:36] Cestvs**
*He looks twice as large in his stance.*
**[06:39] Cestvs**
* Don't let yourself get overwhelmed.*
* No matter who my opponent is, I'm still me.*
**[06:43] Cestvs**
* In the arena, only those who remain*
* true to themselves have a future.*
**[06:48] Announce**
Begin!
**[06:49] Cestvs**
*Move up and strike!*
**[07:00] Cestvs**
*They're so hard.*
**[07:01] Cestvs**
* His arms are well-protected*
* all the way to his elbows.*
**[07:03] Cestvs**
*It's like punching iron pillars.*
**[07:06] Emden**
* If you wanted to be popular with women,*
* you should've become an actor, boy.*
**[07:11] Cestvs**
*My body feels nimble.*
**[07:12] Cestvs**
*I'll increase my speed and attack at once.*
**[07:16] Cestvs**
* At any rate, cheap tricks aren't*
* likely to work against him.*
**[07:22] Cestvs**
*Quickly, keenly.*
**[07:27] Pedro**
He went for the quick attack.
**[07:29] Getty**
He's already striking at full speed?
**[07:31] Hernando**
Isn't he being impatient?
**[07:33] Zafar**
* No, taking the initiative*
* is the right choice.*
**[07:36] Cestvs**
*Faster... Faster!*
**[07:38] Emden**
* I see. His speed is his strength.*
* He really is just a kid.*
**[07:42] Emden**
* Realizing he can't win, he's chosen to*
* fight desperately and lose honorably.*
**[07:45] Emden**
*We'll see how far that gets him.*
**[07:48] Cestvs**
*Faster... I have to push my limits.*
**[07:51] Cestvs**
* If I scatter my blows, an opening*
* will appear in his defenses!*
**[07:56] Emden**
*What's with this kid? He's still going.*
**[07:58] Emden**
*He keeps getting faster!*
**[08:17] Drisco**
D-Did you see that? Is it over?
**[08:19] Pedro**
Wait, seriously?
**[08:22] Hernando**
Did he just pull off an easy victory?
**[08:26] Cestvs**
* I got through. His defense*
* isn't impregnable after all.*
**[08:31] Emden**
*I wasn't expecting him to be this skilled.*
**[08:33] Sabina**
You can't be serious!
**[08:35] Sabina**
If this match ends here,
I'll never forgive him!
**[08:38] Ref**
Can you keep fighting?
**[08:40] Emden**
Of course. No problem.
**[08:44] Emden**
* I was simply mesmerized by the*
* sheer number of his punches.*
**[08:46] Emden**
*None of them were effective.*
**[08:48] Emden**
*Thanks to that blow, I'm fully awake now.*
**[08:51] Emden**
*He fully warmed up before the fight.*
**[08:54] Emden**
* He's a fully-fledged boxer*
* worthy of risking my record on.*
**[08:59] Emden**
*Sorry about that, kid. Let's start over.*
**[09:03] Hernando**
There it is. That low stance of his.
**[09:05] Pedro**
None of those blows affected him?
**[09:07] Getty**
Cestvs is out of breath.
**[09:10] Zafar**
He put so much effort into moving
faster that he forgot to breathe.
**[09:15] Zafar**
He's definitely getting stronger,
but he still looks shaky.
**[09:20] Zafar**
* You'd better catch your*
* breath quickly, Cestvs.*
**[09:22] Zafar**
* Your opponent hasn't thrown*
* a single punch yet.*
**[09:24] Zafar**
*This fight is just getting started.*
**[09:31] Cestvs**
* I knew my flurry of blows*
* would work against him,*
**[09:33] Cestvs**
*but I can't keep punching at max speed.*
**[09:38] Cestvs**
* Just trying to pry open his*
* defenses has left my hands numb.*
**[09:42] Cestvs**
* If I'm not careful with my punches,*
* I'll injure my fists and destroy myself.*
**[09:47] Emden**
*What's wrong, quick hands? Tired already?*
**[09:51] Emden**
*Let's go!*
**[09:53] Cestvs**
*He's coming!*
**[10:01] Cestvs**
*So low, and so quick...*
**[10:03] Cestvs**
*His limbs are keener than I expected.*
**[10:07] Cestvs**
*I knew he had powerful legs, but...*
**[10:14] Cestvs**
* He's entering my space before I can*
* force him back with a flurry of blows.*
**[10:18] Cestvs**
*He's eating up my range!*
**[10:22] Zafar**
* Getting ahead is the most fundamental*
* principle in all combat sports.*
**[10:26] Zafar**
* In boxing, life and death are*
* determined by the space you control.*
**[10:31] Zafar**
* In other words, you must maintain a favorable*
* distance and position while advancing.*
**[10:37] Zafar**
* If you allow yourself to be*
* forestalled and pushed back,*
**[10:38] Zafar**
* you're playing into your*
* opponent's hands, Cestvs.*
**[10:43] Cestvs**
* No matter what happens,*
* I won't let him get close.*
**[10:51] Emden**
*As I thought, he's turning on his axis*
**[10:53] Emden**
* and kicking with his legs to put*
* his body weight behind his punches.*
**[10:57] Emden**
* If I can force him to lean forward*
* and knock his axis off-balance,*
**[11:01] Emden**
*then he's just a quick but feeble kid.*
**[11:04] Emden**
*I'll show you my true colors.*
**[11:09] Cestvs**
*What was that wide swing?*
**[11:16] Pedro**
A b-backhand?
**[11:18] Getty**
He swung his fist back after throwing it.
**[11:20] Zafar**
No, it's a distraction.
**[11:29] Cestvs**
*He slipped under me.*
**[11:35] Cestvs**
*No!*
**[11:42] Cestvs**
*I-It's coming. A blow to the heart!*
**[11:49] Cestvs**
*H-He changed the trajectory of his fist...*
**[12:00] Mob**
So strong! You're so strong, Emden!
**[12:04] Mob**
You let the kid knock you
down earlier, didn't you?
**[12:08] Pedro**
Is that even allowed? He suddenly
threw out some weird punch.
**[12:12] Pedro**
Master!
**[12:14] Zafar**
That's boxing, as well.
**[12:17] Narration**
In modern boxing,
**[12:19] Narration**
strikes using parts of the fist other
than the knuckles are prohibited,
**[12:24] Narration**
but in ancient boxing, only spear
hand strikes were prohibited.
**[12:29] Narration**
In other words, backhand blows,
palm heel strikes, hammerfist strikes,
**[12:34] Narration**
and open palm strikes were
all allowed by the rules.
**[12:37] Zafar**
* A palm heel strike to the heart*
* followed by a hammerfist strike*
**[12:40] Zafar**
*to the side of the head.*
**[12:42] Zafar**
* It was certainly unexpected,*
* but it's a logical series of blows.*
**[12:46] Zafar**
*But where did he learn those techniques?*
**[13:00] Zafar**
Stand! Stand up, Cestvs!
**[13:03] Mob**
What's wrong, kid?
**[13:17] Ref**
Can you continue?
**[13:18] Cestvs**
I... I can keep going.
***SIGN*** The Roman Fighter
**[13:33] Ref**
Can you continue?
**[13:35] Cestvs**
I... I can keep going.
**[13:37] Mob**
That's it, kid!
**[13:41] Mob**
Hit him again, Emden!
**[13:45] Pedro**
I'm glad he can stand, but...
**[13:47] Getty**
Something's wrong with him.
**[13:50] Hernando**
Cestvs...
**[13:55] Zafar**
His sense of equilibrium is shot.
**[13:59] Zafar**
After all, he was struck in the ear.
**[14:01] Emden**
*I'm impressed you can stand.*
**[14:03] Emden**
* Just fight a little longer,*
* and I'll put you out of your misery.*
**[14:07] Emden**
*Watch this, Lady Sabina.*
**[14:09] Emden**
* These fists shall inflict the*
* harshest of punishments upon him,*
**[14:13] Emden**
*if that will satisfy you.*
**[14:17] Cestvs**
*Damn it. That was an unexpected attack.*
**[14:20] Cestvs**
* He changed up his technique*
* too quickly for me to react.*
**[14:26] Cestvs**
*I feel dizzy.*
**[14:29] Cestvs**
*If he attacks me now...*
**[14:36] Cestvs**
*You're kidding. He's not attacking?*
**[14:41] Pedro**
Why isn't he attacking?
Does he still underestimate Cestvs?
**[14:44] Getty**
It's creeping me out.
**[14:46] Hernando**
He's smiling.
**[14:48] Zora**
He's toying with him.
**[14:50] Zafar**
* No. Those are the eyes of a hunting dog*
* preparing to strike a killing blow.*
**[14:56] Nashca**
*Y-You couldn't possibly be planning to...*
**[14:59] Nashca**
*Even if you are acting on Lady Sabina's orders,*
**[15:02] Nashca**
*surely you wouldn't use that against a child!*
**[15:04] Emden**
*Show no mercy.*
**[15:07] Emden**
* That's what it means to recognize*
* someone as a true enemy.*
**[15:11] Cestvs**
*Don't underestimate me. I'm not dead yet.*
**[15:15] Cestvs**
*I can still recover while attacking.*
**[15:18] Cestvs**
* I'm just a little dizzy. I can handle*
* an opponent who's standing still.*
**[15:26] Emden**
*That's it. Keep punching.*
**[15:29] Cestvs**
*I'll defend by attacking.*
**[15:31] Cestvs**
*I'll overpower him by focusing my strikes.*
**[15:33] Emden**
* The harder you struggle, the more*
* dramatic the ending will be.*
**[15:38] Zafar**
* Why? He has the advantage, so why is*
* he standing still and provoking him?*
**[15:44] Zafar**
*If he's allowing himself to be struck,*
**[15:47] Zafar**
*whatever he's planning is no simple trap.*
**[15:50] Zafar**
*What kind of dangerous fangs is he hiding?*
**[15:55] Cestvs**
* He's made himself as hard*
* and small as turtle.*
**[15:57] Cestvs**
*In that case,*
**[15:59] Cestvs**
*I'll break him down from his stomach!*
**[16:01] Nashca**
*Don't do it! Please don't do this, Emden!*
**[16:03] Cestvs**
* I'll draw his attention upward*
* before ducking beneath him*
**[16:08] Cestvs**
* and striking him in the*
* stomach as hard as I can!*
**[16:14] Zafar**
That's it! He's trying to...
**[16:21] Cestvs**
*Now!*
**[16:24] Cestvs**
*You're mine!*
**[16:26] Zafar**
No, Cestvs! Don't duck beneath him!
**[16:30] Cestvs**
*F-From directly above?*
**[16:38] Emden**
*Bullseye.*
**[16:41] Emden**
*I've beaten him.*
**[16:49] Zafar**
*A hammerfist strike to the medulla oblongata.*
**[16:51] Zafar**
* It was clear that his arms weren't*
* just heavily armored for defense.*
**[16:55] Zafar**
*Why couldn't I figure it out sooner?*
**[16:58] Nashca**
* Emden, you swore you'd never*
* use that technique again.*
**[17:02] Nashca**
*Are you really willing to go that far for her?*
**[17:06] Nashca**
* Having killed two of your*
* opponents in the past,*
**[17:10] Nashca**
*it's a killer move in a literal sense.*
**[17:13] Nashca**
*They call it the Decapitator.*
**[17:17] Zafar**
Cestvs! Cestvs!
**[17:20] All**
Cestvs! Cestvs!
**[17:20] Zafar**
Stand! Stand up, Cestvs!
**[17:22] All**
Get up! Get up!
**[17:24] Zafar**
Stand up! Stand up!
**[17:24] All**
Pull yourself together!
**[17:24] All**
Cestvs! Cestvs!
**[17:28] All**
Stand up!
**[17:28] All**
Cestvs!
**[17:29] All**
You can do it!
**[17:29] Zafar**
Cestvs!
**[17:45] Zafar**
Cestvs!
**[17:48] Zafar**
Cestvs, get up! Cestvs!
**[17:52] Cestvs**
*I hear a voice.*
**[17:54] Zafar**
Get up! Get up!
**[17:57] Cestvs**
*Whose voice is that?*
**[17:59] Zafar**
Cestvs! Cestvs!
**[18:01] Cestvs**
*My head feels numb.*
**[18:03] Zafar**
Get up! Get up!
**[18:06] Cestvs**
*I taste blood in the back of my nose.*
**[18:06] Zafar**
Get up, Cestvs!
**[18:09] Zafar**
Get up! Get up!
**[18:12] Cestvs**
* The smell of the sun...*
* The texture of the sand...*
**[18:15] Zafar**
Get up, Cestvs!
**[18:18] Cestvs**
*Where am I?*
**[18:18] ---**
Get up! Get up!
**[18:21] ---**
Get up, Cestvs!
**[18:22] Zafar**
You can't do anything from the ground!
**[18:24] Zafar**
Get up, Cestvs!
**[18:26] Cestvs**
*Cestvs?*
**[18:29] Zafar**
Get up, Cestvs!
**[18:34] Cestvs**
*Is that me?*
**[18:36] Cestvs**
*What's going on?*
**[18:38] Cestvs**
*I was suddenly on the ground...*
**[18:41] Narration**
And so our story returns to the
beginning of the first episode.
**[18:47] Zafar**
Hurry up and raise your fists!
**[18:49] Zafar**
If you fail to show the
will to fight, it's over.
**[18:50] Ref**
Can you keep fighting?
**[18:53] Cestvs**
I'll do it. I'm fine. I'll do it.
**[18:57] Ref**
All right. Resume the fight.
**[19:00] Cestvs**
*What's going on?*
**[19:02] Cestvs**
*This is an incredibly bad situation.*
**[19:06] Cestvs**
*This is my opponent...*
**[19:08] Cestvs**
*What kind of attack did he hit me with?*
**[19:13] Narration**
Sudden loss of consciousness. Memory loss.
**[19:16] Narration**
Loss of sense of time. Confusion.
**[19:19] Narration**
These are the typical symptoms
experienced by someone
**[19:23] Narration**
suffering from a severe concussion,
**[19:25] Narration**
but to the person experiencing it,
it feels like a bolt out of the blue.
**[19:31] Narration**
The most terrifying thing about memory loss
**[19:34] Narration**
is suddenly being ripped
back into a normal state.
**[19:38] Narration**
It's like finding yourself on
the battlefield upon awakening.
**[19:41] Narration**
Not only that, but you've already suffered
damage you have no recollection of.
**[19:46] Narration**
It is an extremely dire situation.
**[19:49] Cestvs**
*No! He's going to kill me! Help!*
**[20:04] Cestvs**
*Am I going to lose?*
**[20:07] Cestvs**
*Am I going to die here?*
**[20:30] Mob**
He got back up!
**[20:32] Mob**
He can keep fighting after
taking that beating?
**[20:36] Mob**
It's a miracle!
**[20:38] Nascha**
It's impossible, Cestvs.
Your opponent is too strong.
**[20:41] Zafar**
It's not over yet! Don't give up!
**[20:44] Pedro**
Master...
**[20:45] Zafar**
You haven't given everything you've got yet!
**[20:47] Zafar**
Are you trying to waste your training?
**[20:54] Emden**
Don't do it. You'll die.
**[22:39] Zora**
He looks so delicate,
but he's infuriatingly tough.
**[22:42] Girl**
Only one will be chosen.
**[22:44] Nascha**
An angel has descended before my eyes.
**[22:46] Zafar**
Don't back down! Attack!
