[00:08] Cestvs
    It's kill or be killed, and I can't die here.
[00:12] Cestvs
    If I want to fight my way out of this,
    I have to use that technique.
[00:17] Cestvs
    That technique my master taught me!
[00:20] Zafar
    Strike with a clear mind, Cestvs.
[00:22] Zafar
    Abandon your hesitation. Escape death.
[00:25] Sabina
    Defeat him, Emden. End this.
SIGN    Separated From the Goddess
[02:39] Emden
    Take this!
[02:41] Zafar
    Your legs are strong enough to
    leap far past your opponent.
[02:45] Zafar
    If you can see his back,
    you're in the perfect position.
[02:47] Zafar
    Even if you have only a moment, go for it.
[02:49] Cestvs
    Not yet. Don't block it yet!
[02:51] Zafar
    Imagine your fist as a sword swung with
    the full weight of your body behind it.
[02:54] Zafar
    Strike with the intention
    of severing his neck!
[02:57] Cestvs
    This is the killer hammerfist strike:
[03:00] Cestvs
    the Decapitator!
[03:12] Pedro
    He did it!
[03:13] Hernando
    That was a solid blow!
[03:15] Both
    Yeah!
[03:19] Nashca
    A miracle has occurred.
[03:21] Drisco
    Did you see that? That's my fighting slave!
[03:25] Zafar
    I suppose you could call that a fluke.
[03:27] Zafar
    A technique born from carnage,
    a desperate situation.
[03:30] Zafar
    Though he wielded the hastily-learned
    technique with unease in training,
[03:32] Zafar
    his extreme focus transformed
    it into the real thing.
[03:37] Cestvs
    I hit him right on the mark.
[03:38] Cestvs
    I barely did it in time.
[03:42] Cestvs
    I actually downed him with a single blow.
[03:45] Cestvs
    I can't believe how powerful it is.
[03:50] Sabina
    Get up, Emden!
[03:52] Sabina
    Do you want to disgrace yourself before the
    citizens of Pompeii by lying on the ground?
[03:55] Sabina
    You'll lose everything you've achieved!
[03:58] Sabina
    Doesn't it frustrate you?
[03:59] Sabina
    Are you admitting that this is all your
    willpower and pride could achieve?
[04:03] Sabina
    Now, get up! I, Sabina, command you to stand!
[04:07] Sabina
    Emden!
[04:14] Getty
    He moved!
[04:17] Cestvs
    What?
[04:20] Cestvs
    Y-You're kidding.
[04:25] Sabina
    That's right! Get up!
[04:29] Nashca
    Emden, you...
[04:32] Cestvs
    D-Don't get up.
[04:36] Cestvs
    Don't get up!
[04:37] Cestvs
    Don't get up, don't get up, don't get up!
[04:55] Sabina
    No...
[05:00] Ref
    The winner is Cestvs!
[05:09] Pedro
    He did it!
[05:10] Getty
    Cestvs won!
[05:11] Hernando
    I-Incredible!
[05:15] Ruddock
    I can't believe he mastered
    that chilling killer technique.
[05:20] Narration
    In modern boxing,
[05:21] Narration
    blows to the back of the head known
    as "rabbit punches" are prohibited.
[05:27] Narration
    The structure of the human body
    is weak to attacks from behind.
[05:32] Narration
    In particular,
[05:34] Narration
    the medulla oblongata relays information
    between the medullated nerves and the brain.
[05:37] Narration
    A powerful blow to this structure can
    practically cut off all neural activity.
[05:46] Hernando
    Master, there's one thing I noticed
    that I've been wondering about.
[05:51] Hernando
    The technique Emden used
    to knock out Cestvs
[05:53] Hernando
    was struck differently, but he was
    aiming for the same spot, wasn't he?
[05:57] Zafar
    Indeed. That's correct.
[06:00] Zafar
    I kept thinking the same
    thing during the fight.
[06:04] Zafar
    It can't be a mere coincidence.
[06:07] Emden
    Did I lose?
[06:14] Emden
    Not only did I have more stamina, but
    I had energy to spare. I was luckier, too.
[06:18] Emden
    But I still lost. Who are you?
[06:23] Cestvs
    A fighting slave, just like you.
[06:24] Cestvs
    I'm not nearly as experienced as you, though.
[06:27] Mob
    You can't be serious!
[06:28] Mob
    How could you lose to a kid?
[06:30] Mob
    Strongest boxer in Pompeii, my ass!
[06:32] Mob
    You're a disgrace!
[06:33] Mob
    Die! Kill him!
[06:34] Mob
    Kill him!
[06:36] Mob
    Kill! Kill! Kill!
[06:39] Mob
    I bet all my money on you!
[06:42] Mob
    Traitor! Die!
[06:43] Mob
    Kill! Kill! Kill!
[06:43] Mob
    Atone with your death!
[06:48] Mob
    Kill! Kill! Kill!
[06:49] Cestvs
    This again. How can they demand
    someone's death so easily?
[06:54] Mob
    Kill! Kill! Kill!
[06:54] Cestvs
    I won't allow them to
    insult someone so strong.
[07:07] Zafar
    Cestvs...
[07:09] Mob
    What's he doing?
[07:10] Mob
    Is a mere fighting slave asking
    for his life to be spared?
[07:14] Cestvs
    The fight is over.
[07:16] Cestvs
    No one has the right to
    issue further judgment.
[07:20] Cestvs
    I won't allow anyone to infringe upon
    our fights, not even the emperor!
[07:26] Mob
    You can't be serious!
[07:28] Mob
    Kill him, too!
[07:29] Nashca
    You're responsible for the bets you placed!
[07:31] Nashca
    We should be praising the men who
    fought with everything they had!
[07:34] Mob
    Yeah, you're despicable!
[07:36] Mob
    Shame on you!
[07:37] Mob
    What did you say?!
[07:40] Mob
    You're siding with a loser?!
[07:41] Drisco
    Wh-What the hell is going on?
[07:44] Pedro
    This looks pretty bad.
[07:47] Noble
    Lady Sabina, you must leave immediately.
[07:50] Maid
    Please hurry. It's dangerous here.
[07:52] Sabina
    Lower the tent.
[07:54] Maid
    What?
[07:55] Sabina
    Lower the tent this instant! Quickly!
[08:07] Mob
    Look! It's Sabina!
[08:09] Mob
    Sabina's here!
[08:11] Mob
    I've never seen her before.
[08:19] Mob
    Huh? Is she angry about something?
[08:21] Mob
    Quiet! She's going to say something!
[08:32] Sabina
    Everyone, that's all for today.
[08:35] Sabina
    Please behave yourselves.
[08:36] Sabina
    Wait until tomorrow to raise hell again.
[08:39] Sabina
    The tournament has only just begun.
[08:42] Narration
    Only a woman who had grown up at the
    center of attention since she was a child
[08:46] Narration
    could handle the situation so exquisitely.
[08:54] Sabina
    Emden...
[08:56] Emden
    Yes?
[09:02] Sabina
    You did well. This is goodbye.
SIGN    The Roman Fighter
[09:23] Hernando
    He opened his eyes!
[09:24] Pedro
    He's finally awake.
[09:26] Getty
    I'm so glad. I thought you were dead.
[09:28] Pedro
    You've been asleep for a whole day.
[09:30] Nashca
    How are you feeling?
[09:32] Nashca
    As long as there's no numbness in
    your limbs, you should be fine.
[09:36] Hernando
    Do you not remember collapsing?
[09:39] Cestvs
    What? Collapsing? When?
[09:42] Getty
    You fell right over the moment
    the commotion ended.
[09:47] Cestvs
    Nashca, how is he? How are Emden's injuries?
[09:50] Nashca
    You're more badly injured
    than he is. Don't worry.
[09:54] Nashca
    But he won't be appearing
    in the tournament again.
[09:56] Nashca
    After all, his winning streak was ended.
[10:00] Cestvs
    I see.
[10:03] Ruddock
    Spineless coward. He's disheartened
    because his owner abandoned him.
[10:06] Cestvs
    Emden was disowned?
[10:09] Nashca
    It's a cruel fate, but prestigious
    families must defend their honor.
[10:18] Nashca
    Nothing is more valuable than life itself,
[10:20] Nashca
    but it may be more painful
    than death for Emden.
[10:26] Nashca
    He received the kind smile
    and words of gratitude
[10:30] Nashca
    that he longed for when he was defeated.
[10:34] Nashca
    And for those to be her
    parting words to Emden
[10:38] Nashca
    is far crueler than coldly rebuking him.
[10:42] Ruddock
    I don't care about that.
[10:44] Ruddock
    In any case, I'm pissed
    that my opponent is gone.
[10:48] Ruddock
    I'll vent my anger by going wild
    over the remaining two days.
[10:52] Pedro
    Well, we've got practice.
[10:55] ---
    See ya.
[10:55] Hernando
    Take it easy.
[10:58] Cestvs
    Where's our master?
[11:00] Hernando
    He said there was something he wanted
    to confirm and headed out just now.
[11:03] Hernando
    See you later.
[11:07] Narration
    A fighter secures his own safe return
[11:09] Narration
    when he uses his fists to
    shatter his opponent's hope.
[11:15] Narration
    Each time he fights to survive,
[11:17] Narration
    the weight of each victory weighs
    heavily on Cestvs, again and again.
[11:35] Emden
    Who are you?
[11:38] Zafar
    My name is Zafar.
[11:39] Zafar
    I train Cestvs, the boy you fought.
[11:44] Emden
    What do you want?
[11:45] Emden
    Did you come here to mock the loser?
[11:47] Zafar
    I heard you were leaving Pompeii.
[11:50] Zafar
    We're only staying in this
    city during the tournament.
[11:54] Zafar
    I came because there was
    something I had to ask you.
[11:58] Zafar
    Don't you think it's strange?
[12:01] Zafar
    That technique you used to knock out Cestvs,
[12:05] Zafar
    and the technique he used to defeat you.
[12:08] Zafar
    Both techniques aimed to achieve the
    same effect by striking the same spot.
[12:12] Zafar
    The only difference is
    in how they were struck.
[12:14] Zafar
    Furthermore, they're both
    called the Decapitator.
[12:19] Zafar
    I think they're too similar
    for it to be a coincidence.
[12:26] Emden
    Could it be...
[12:27] Zafar
    If I'm correct,
[12:29] Zafar
    you didn't develop that technique yourself.
    Someone taught it to you.
[12:33] Zafar
    Tell me. Who taught you the Decapitator?
[12:40] Emden
    I see. In that case,
    perhaps I'm meant to tell you.
[12:45] Emden
    It was five years ago that I met that man.
[12:51] Emden
    I was born a slave.
[12:53] Emden
    I had trouble getting along with
    my peers, so I was always alone.
[12:57] Emden
    I accepted my fate as a fighting slave,
[13:00] Emden
    but as you can see, I'm not
    blessed with a large build.
[13:04] Emden
    For a long time, I struggled
    with my slow growth.
[13:07] Emden
    It was everything I could do to
    overcome the limits thrust upon me.
[13:11] Emden
    Even if I trained all day like a
    madman, I couldn't find the answer.
[13:16] Emden
    As a last resort, I uncharacteristically
    prayed to the gods.
[13:20] (Flashback) Emden
    Please... At least let me keep boxing!
[13:23] (Flashback) Emden
    Don't take this from me, too!
[13:28] Emden
    How long had he been there?
[13:30] Emden
    I hadn't even sensed the man sitting
    before me, but he saw right through me.
[13:37] (Flashback) Man
    Your resolve is commendable,
[13:39] (Flashback) Man
    but your training should always
    be focused around a clear goal.
[13:44] (Flashback) Man
    What you're doing is no
    different from running away.
[13:49] Emden
    With his first words, he struck
    the very core of my being.
[13:52] Emden
    And then, my current
    suffering, my past injuries,
[13:56] Emden
    my habits, weaknesses, and desires...
[13:59] Emden
    All his observations were accurate.
[14:02] Emden
    I trembled from the bottom of my heart.
[14:05] (Flashback) Emden
    You're inhuman. Who are you?
[14:07] (Flashback) Emden
    Are you a divine messenger
    who has heard my prayers?
[14:10] (Flashback) Man
    Don't be so shocked.
[14:13] (Flashback) Man
    I simply took my time analyzing
    you after observing you carefully.
[14:18] (Flashback) Man
    Anyone can do it.
[14:21] (Flashback) Man
    You mustn't waste your passion.
[14:24] (Flashback) Man
    Stubborn and solitary men like yourself
    have a tendency to become short-sighted.
[14:29] (Flashback) Man
    If you're not good at calmly analyzing
    yourself, then you need a teacher.
[14:36] (Flashback) Man
    With someone to lead you from above,
    I guarantee that you will grow.
[14:47] (Flashback) Emden
    Can you make me stronger?
[14:52] (Flashback) Man
    I'm a former third-rate fighter.
[14:55] (Flashback) Man
    But I believe I understand the
    hearts of young men who suffer
[14:59] (Flashback) Man
    from slow growth better than anyone.
[15:02] (Flashback) Emden
    I hate that I'm so weak.
[15:04] (Flashback) Emden
    I'd do anything to become stronger.
[15:08] (Flashback) Man
    I've been searching for
    a pure motive like yours.
[15:11] (Flashback) Man
    Having someone else fight the way
    that I couldn't is my greatest joy.
[15:19] (Flashback) Man
    If you so desire,
[15:21] (Flashback) Man
    I can even teach you a technique that
    will kill your opponent in a single blow.
[15:26] Emden
    I bowed my head to a man
    whose name I didn't know.
[15:30] Emden
    Oddly, he agreed to train me for free.
[15:33] Emden
    From that day on, as my master instructed,
[15:35] Emden
    I worked to strengthen my lower
    body and participated in fights.
[15:40] Emden
    My anxiety transformed into confidence.
[15:42] Emden
    My body acquired unequaled pressure.
[15:45] Emden
    I won so much, it amazed even me.
[15:48] Emden
    As though the limits that had pained
    me never existed, I was reborn.
[15:52] Emden
    With every technique my master
    taught me, I became stronger.
[15:57] Emden
    My master developed new techniques one
    after another, and I tested them in fights.
[16:03] Emden
    Finally, I mastered his final
    technique: the Decapitator.
[16:08] Emden
    The moment I took the life of a
    powerful opponent, we parted ways.
[16:14] Emden
    Just as suddenly as he had appeared,
    my master vanished.
[16:21] Emden
    Perhaps he's still out there somewhere,
    finding young men like me to teach for free.
[16:26] Zafar
    No, not for free.
[16:29] Zafar
    That man isn't a divine messenger,
    and he's certainly not a philanthropist.
[16:34] Zafar
    For him, instructing others is a
    way to test and realize his ideas.
[16:39] Zafar
    After identifying a fighter's qualities,
[16:41] Zafar
    he designs and teaches them suitable
    techniques and tests them in fights.
[16:46] Zafar
    His students essentially function as living
    test subjects who share his interests.
[16:50] Zafar
    The results of his experiments
    themselves are his payment.
[16:54] Zafar
    Once he acquires sufficient information,
    he moves on to the next experiment.
[16:59] Emden
    Did he teach you, too?
[17:01] Zafar
    So he's alive and well.
[17:03] Zafar
    Democritus of Cádiz. He has the eyes
    of a god and the brains of a devil.
[17:07] Zafar
    A curious monster with the
    silver tongue of an angel.
[17:10] Zafar
    He's the only man I ever called "Master."
[17:14] Zafar
    He seeks to complete his unfinished
    destructive techniques.
[17:16] Zafar
    That avaricious brain of his is
    still searching for the truth.
[17:21] Man
    We're leaving. Get in.
[17:25] Nashca
    Take this with you.
[17:26] Nashca
    It's medicine to help with your bruises.
[17:29] Nashca
    You have a tendency to be misunderstood.
[17:32] Nashca
    Don't start any stupid fights.
[17:34] Emden
    And don't let your uptightness destroy you.
[17:39] Emden
    I hope you do well for yourself, model slave.
[17:42] Nashca
    Thanks.
[17:45] Emden
    Hey, Nashca.
[17:48] Emden
    Unlike you, I'm an uneducated
    and unrefined man.
[17:51] Emden
    I never truly believed that there was
    anything I could do about Lady Sabina.
[17:57] Emden
    I just craved her recognition.
[17:59] Emden
    For that, I would've sold my soul to
    the devil as many times as it took.
[18:07] Nashca
    You received her recognition in the end.
[18:11] Nashca
    You won.
[18:17] Emden
    I don't know about that.
[18:33] Nashca
    You think Emden will bounce back from this?
[18:36] Zafar
    He'll be back. Definitely.
[18:39] Zafar
    We trained under the same master. I can tell.
[18:51] Narration
    The tournament was far more successful
    than its organizers imagined it would be.
[18:56] Narration
    In the remaining time, Ruddock fought
    magnificently in five matches over two days.
[19:01] Narration
    True to his word, he went on a rampage.
[19:07] Nashca
    Take care, Cestvs.
[19:09] Cestvs
    Goodbye, Nashca.
[19:11] Nashca
    Once you're free, if you ever have trouble
    finding work, look up Nashca Broken Nose.
[19:17] Nashca
    I'll gladly help you.
[19:19] Cestvs
    I don't know when that'll happen, but thanks.
[19:24] Cestvs
    Take care.
[19:39] Citizen 1
    Hey, kid! I saw your fight!
[19:42] Citizen 2
    Me, too!
[19:43] Citizen 2
    You've got guts for such a young lad.
[19:46] Citizen 2
    I was moved.
[19:48] Citizen 3
    It's impressive that you
    were able to defeat Emden!
[19:51] Citizen 3
    Thanks for a great fight!
[19:53] Citizen 3
    You should come back!
    I'll root for you again!
[20:02] Woman
    Good luck! You'd better not die!
[20:04] Citizen 4
    Keep winning, Cestvs!
[20:06] All
    Cestvs! Cestvs!
[20:09] Citizen 5
    You were amazing, Cestvs!
[20:10] All
    Cestvs! Cestvs! Cestvs!
[20:16] Ruddock
    Damn it. I fought well, too.
[20:20] Drisco
    Incredible. You've seized the
    hearts of the people of Pompeii.
[20:24] Drisco
    Answer them, Cestvs.
[20:26] Cestvs
    Huh? Uh, okay.
[20:30] Nashca
    Even after the fight ended,
[20:32] Nashca
    the citizens of Pompeii continue to praise
    how well he fought and cheer for him.
[20:37] Nashca
    He may break through the
    adversity of being a have-not
[20:40] Nashca
    with his own fists and become
    a hero of the people.
[20:44] Nashca
    Survive, Cestvs.
[20:48] Narration
    When a dormant volcano awakened
    for the first time in 800 years,
[20:51] Narration
    the city of Pompeii would
    suddenly be destroyed.
[20:56] Narration
    It would happen in the year 79 CE,
    11 years after the death of Emperor Nero.
[22:39] Man
    This is an imperial order.
[22:41] Zafar
    What you all need to work on
    is your lack of decisive power.
[22:44] Man
    The winner takes all.
[22:47] Cestvs
    There's no second prize in a serious fight.
[22:50] Man
    Give it all you've got!
SIGN    Caged Screams
[22:51] Man
    I win again.
