MEGALOBOX
A desolate land stretches out from the city of poverty. A motorcycle speeds recklessly, blowing clouds of sand and dust. The rider is the protagonist of this story – he has neither a name nor a past.
All he has is his ring name, “Junk Dog” and a technique for rigging MEGALOBOX matches with his pal Gansaku Nanbu, which they use to support their hand-to-mouth lives. JD is bored, resigned, and unfulfilled. Yuri has been the reigning champion of MEGALOBOX for the past few years. He has the skills and presence of a true champion. This is a story of JD and his rival, Yuri.

you'd be out like a light right now.
[05:25] JD
You can stop trying to show off now.
[05:27] JD
Let's fight square from here on.
[05:31] Yuri
Right.
[05:32] Yuri
I'll grant that request of yours...
[05:35] Yuri
And show you real Megalo Boxing.
[05:41] JD
That's more like it.
[05:53] Nanbu
Don't get cocky, kid!
[05:55] Nanbu
Get away from him! Use your footwork!
[06:14] JD
I see what you're doing.
[06:44] Count
One...
[06:48] Count
Two...
[06:51] Count
Three...
[06:54] Ref
Uh, champion, the fight's not—
[06:55] Count
Four...
[06:56] Yuri
It's over.
[06:58] Count
Five...
[06:59] Yuri
He won't be able to stand.
[07:02] Count
Six...
[07:05] Nanbu
That's enough!
[07:06] Nanbu
Stay down! Keep your ass down!
[07:06] Count
Seven...
[07:08] JD
Give it a rest, Pops.
[07:09] Nanbu
Listen to me! Stay down!
[07:12] Nanbu
Just lay there!
[07:12] JD
That's not what I wanna hear.
[07:14] Count
Nine...
[07:15] Nanbu
Can you hear me?!
[07:16] Nanbu
You've done enough! Don't get up!
[07:18] Count
Ten.
[07:19] Commentary
We've got a one-round KO!
[07:22] Commentary
The winner is Yuri!
[07:25] Yuri
Sorry for interrupting your operation.
[07:27] Domoto
Everyone got to see the real
deal in person, at no extra cost.
[07:30] Domoto
That's a bargain.
[07:32] Crowd
Yuri! Yuri!
[07:34] ---
Yuri! Yuri! Yuri! Yuri!
[07:38] JD
Yuri! Yuri! Yuri!
[07:43] JD
That's your real Megalo Boxing?
[07:55] JD
I'm not impressed.
[07:58] JD
It couldn't even manage to kill a stray dog.
[08:03] JD
Let's keep going.
[08:05] JD
I'm not done yet.
[08:11] Nanbu
No way in hell is that happening! You lost!
[08:16] Nanbu
Give him a break, please!
[08:18] Nanbu
The kid doesn't understand what he's saying!
[08:21] Nanbu
He's totally hopeless—
[08:22] Yuri
I'm done with you.
[08:25] Yuri
I'm not going to continue
brawling with stray dogs.
[08:29] Yuri
This isn't my ring.
[08:32] JD
Now that bothers you?
[08:38] Yuri
If you're serious about fighting me again...
[08:41] Yuri
then fight your way up to me.
[08:44] Yuri
And my ring.
[08:50] JD
W-Wait!
[08:52] JD
Hey! Get back here!
[08:55] JD
Stop!
[09:44] JD
I can't go back to that.
[09:57] JD
Not after what he just showed me!
[10:15] Yuri
You want out?
[10:31] Yuri
Owner...
[10:36] Shirato
You went to see that man with
the motorcycle, didn't you?
[10:40] Yuri
Yes.
[10:41] Shirato
You need to remember your position.
[10:43] Shirato
You are not to step in the ring
without my permission.
[10:48] Shirato
Fighting in unsanctioned bouts
is completely out of the question.
[10:52] Yuri
I understand.
[10:54] Yuri
I'll never see him again.
[11:04] Shirato
Your body...
[11:05] Shirato
It's the future of this company.
[11:10] Yuri
I know.
[12:34] Domoto
All right, handle it like usual.
[12:38] Nanbu
Leave it to us!
[12:40] Domoto
You explained to him the setup?
[12:42] Other guy
Yeah, in full.
[12:45] Nanbu
Hey, partner!
[12:47] Nanbu
Everything is all set.
[12:50] Nanbu
Middle of the fifth round...
[12:51] Nanbu
The other guy lands a lucky
punch, and you go down.
[12:57] JD
Pops. I need to ask a favor.
[13:01] Nanbu
Sure. Whatever you need.
[13:03] Nanbu
Your scrap with Yuri...
[13:06] Nanbu
has apparently doubled the
audience, along with our cut.
[13:09] Nanbu
I'm not gonna be in debt for much longer—
[13:14] Nanbu
What's this?
[13:16] JD
I want to fight Yuri again.
[13:19] JD
Enter me into Megalonia.
[13:24] Nanbu
You serious?
[13:26] JD
Yeah.
[13:27] JD
Get me into his ring. Please.
[13:32] Nanbu
Where do you get off?!
[13:35] Nanbu
Don't you get it?
[13:36] Nanbu
He could've killed you back there.
[13:39] Nanbu
And now you wanna talk big,
talk about going "into his ring"?
[13:43] Nanbu
You think a fraud can become the real deal?
[13:46] JD
You're not the one who'd be fighting.
[13:49] JD
It's me.
[13:51] Nanbu
Come on...
[13:52] Nanbu
Snap out of it, partner.
[13:56] Nanbu
Besides, you'd need a citizen ID
to enter a sanctioned match.
[14:00] Nanbu
You got one of those? You don't, do you?
[14:04] Nanbu
And even if you did...
[14:07] Nanbu
only the top four ranked
fighters get into the bracket.
[14:10] Nanbu
You could bust your ass,
[14:12] Nanbu
but there's no way you can get
that far in three months.
[14:18] Nanbu
Listen, guys like us, we don't
get to think about tomorrow.
[14:23] Nanbu
You focus too much on that stuff,
[14:26] Nanbu
and you'll end up dead.
[14:32] Nanbu
Stop all this dreaming...
[14:35] Nanbu
And focus on doing your job well. All right?
[14:38] Nanbu
Come on.
[14:41] Nanbu
All right, I'm gonna go check on the crowd.
[14:44] Nanbu
Go ahead and get ready.
[14:58] Commentary
And here's today's opening match!
[15:00] Crowd
We're counting on you!
[15:02] Nanbu
Damn, what a simple bunch.
[15:06] Nanbu
All right, partner, go easy on the guy.
[15:10] Nanbu
You go at him too hard, and
he won't last until round five.
[15:14] Nanbu
Hey. You listening to me, partner?
[15:19] Nanbu
That kid...
[15:25] Dude
H-Huh?
[15:31] Ref
Uh, s-start the count.
[15:33] Count
One...
[15:36] Count
Two...
[15:38] Count
Three...
[15:39] Nanbu
That brat!
[15:41] Count
Four...
[15:42] Nanbu
Buzz off! I'm in the middle of—
[15:43] Count
Five...
[15:46] Count
Six...
[16:19] Nanbu
I'm so sorry, Mr. Fujimaki!
[16:22] Nanbu
The kid and I have helped each other out,
and gotten along up until now...
[16:26] Nanbu
I never thought he'd betray me like this!
[16:30] Nanbu
I just feel so damn pathetic and defeated!
[16:37] Fuji
You know what fond de gibier is?
[16:41] Nanbu
Sir?
[16:42] Fuji
You hunt wild game and
make soup stock out of it.
[16:47] Nanbu
Oh...
[16:49] Fuji
If you take your time boiling it...
[16:51] Fuji
You can get 500 grams of fond
out of 500 grams of bone.
[16:58] Fuji
Works out pretty nicely, doesn't it?
[17:03] Fuji
Mr. Nanbu... how much do you weigh?
[17:08] Fuji
I'm asking your weight.
[17:11] Fuji
How much?
[17:18] Fuji
Try this.
[17:42] Nanbu
I'm begging you, Mr. Fujimaki!
I'll find a way to pay you back!
[17:46] Nanbu
So just give me some more time!
[17:50] Fuji
And that's your answer?
[17:53] Nanbu
Please!
[18:01] Fuji
Fair enough.
[18:05] Fuji
But we need to settle up
over this little incident.
[18:09] Fuji
I figure that last eyeball
of yours should cover it.
[18:18] Nanbu
Wh-What about the kid?
[18:20] Nanbu
What happens to my partner?
[18:23] Fuji
That's the ace up your sleeve, huh?
[18:26] Fuji
Using your only piece as a sacrificial pawn...
[18:29] Fuji
You've fallen low, haven't you, Mr. Nanbu?
[18:37] Fuji
Don't worry about him.
[18:39] Fuji
We're going to be profiting
off your partner until he's dead.
[18:43] Fuji
In my ring.
[18:46] (Flashback) JD
Get me into his ring. Please.
[18:51] (Flashback) Yuri
If you're serious about fighting me again...
[18:54] (Flashback) Yuri
then fight your way up to me.
[18:56] (Flashback) Yuri
And my ring.
[18:59] Nanbu
His ring...
[19:04] Nanbu
That's right.
[19:06] Nanbu
My partner's not gonna
be fighting in your ring!
[19:11] Nanbu
I can pay you back in full
once he wins this tournament!
[19:26] JD
So, did you handle it, Pops?
[19:32] JD
Hey, you listening?
[19:36] Nanbu
Shut up for a sec!
[19:38] Nanbu
I'm trying to think. Don't interrupt.
[19:44] JD
What happened?
[19:46] JD
Are we off the hook for what happened?
[19:52] Nanbu
Megalonia.
[19:56] Nanbu
Yeah, you heard me.
[19:58] Nanbu
You're getting what you want, you little bastard!
[20:01] Nanbu
We've gotta enter Megalonia now!
[20:04] Nanbu
No matter what!
[20:07] JD
Do I get to fight him? Fight Yuri?
[20:10] Nanbu
You don't get it, do you?!
[20:12] Nanbu
We only have three months!
[20:16] Nanbu
In only three months...
[20:18] Nanbu
We have to make it into
the tournament, and then win it.
[20:28] JD
Just gotta win, right?
[20:32] JD
I'm not losing again.
[20:35] JD
Not until I get my hands on Yuri again.
[20:58] Forger
Poor guy...
[21:00] Forger
He misses a few payments on his debts,
and he gets chopped up, his organs sold off...
[21:05] Forger
And now his whole identity
is about to be overwritten.
[21:08] Fuji
This is all the help you'll get from me.
[21:11] Fuji
The rest depends on you two.
[21:14] Fuji
Isn't that right, Mr. Nanbu?
[21:18] (Flashback) Fuji
Are you serious?
[21:21] (Flashback) Fuji
What the hell can a pair of frauds do?
[21:25] (Flashback) Nanbu
I've got a plan. We'll win.
[21:32] (Flashback) Nanbu
I've been risking my life on
bluffs for a long damn time now!
[21:36] (Flashback) Nanbu
I'll show you exactly
what we frauds can do!
[21:44] Forger
That just leaves a new name,
[21:48] Forger
and we'll have a freshly minted citizen.
[21:56] Nanbu
It's your name. You pick it.
[22:00] JD
Me?
[22:08] JD
Joe.
[22:11] Nanbu
Joe...
[22:13] Nanbu
Joe, huh?
[22:15] Fuji
Joe...
[22:17] Nanbu
Has a nice ring to it.
[22:20] Nanbu
I guess that's your new ring name.
[22:24] Fuji
Then it's settled.

[00:29] Suit
Excuse me.
[00:30] Suit
I'd say it works out for both of us...
[00:32] Nanbu
Hey there. Sorry for rushing in like that.
[00:36] Suits
Well, look at that.
[00:37] Suits
If it isn't Nanbu!
[00:45] Nanbu
Oh, hello there. I see everyone's here.
[00:49] Suits
I heard you were running quite
the show in the underground.
[00:53] Nanbu
Well, I came across a real
live wire of a kid...
[00:55] Nanbu
And I figured it was time he sees
how things are on this side of the tracks.
[01:02] Suits
Well, good luck with that.
[01:05] Nanbu
I'm kinda in a hurry so...
Let's catch up some other time, okay?
[01:09] Computer
Fighter registration complete.
[01:12] Computer
Welcome to the official
Megalobox Association.
[01:16] Computer
Your current ranking is: 257th place.
[01:21] Nanbu
Starting at the very bottom...
[01:24] Nanbu
Not like you had to remind me!
[03:20] TV
There's less than three months
until the Megalonia tournament!
[03:23] TV
And we've got a new competitor
who will be taking on the champion, Yuri.
[03:28] TV
The second entry is the second
ranked fighter, Pepe Iglesias!
[03:33] TV
An unorthodox boxer with
a wild variety of punches!
[03:36] TV
They call him the Spider!
[03:38] TV
Megalonia is going to be starting
off with this clash between rivals,
[03:42] TV
but who will come out on top?!
[03:45] TV
Experts say that Yuri has the advantage,
[03:48] TV
but Pepe's recent string of wins have
shown some remarkable growth.

Your effectiveness is—
[03:57] JD
That's your real Megalo Boxing?
[04:05] TV
There are now only two slots
still open for Megalonia!
[04:08] TV
Who will be making the cut?!
[04:10] TV
All eyes are going to be on the
rankings for the foreseeable future!
[04:20] Fuji
I got you what you asked for.
[04:23] Fuji
Not bad, right?
[04:29] Fuji
The rest is up to that partner of yours.
[04:32] Nanba
Well, if he gets cold feet,
this will all have been for nothing.
[04:36] Fuji
He's your dog. You need
to make sure he's obedient.
[04:41] Nanba
Thanks for the drink.
[04:49] Nanba
There won't be any problems, sir.
[04:51] Nanba
We both understand the responsibility
we're dealing with here.
[04:56] Fuji
If you make it to Megalonia,
that'll be enough for me.
[05:02] Fuji
But the thing is, Mr. Nanbu...
[05:04] Fuji
He's not the only one on a leash.
[05:08] Fuji
Don't forget that.
[05:12] JD
Pops, quit screwing around,
and let's clean up.
[05:16] JD
We're gonna be living
on this tub for a while.
[05:18] Nanbu
Yeah...
[05:20] TV
The opening match of the Megalonia tournament
is set to be a clash between rivals,
[05:23] Nanbu
The card for the first match is set
already. We've got no time to waste.
[05:25] TV
but who will come out on top?!
[05:27] JD
Sounds good to me.
[05:29] JD
That means I've gotta make it
to the finals to fight him, right?
[05:34] JD
I don't mind.
[05:35] JD
Since I have to win the whole thing, anyway.
[05:39] Nanbu
You don't need to worry about Yuri.
[05:42] Nanbu
Right now, focus on getting into Megalonia.
[05:45] Nanbu
Listen up.
[05:46] Nanbu
In three months, I'm only gonna be
able to put together five matches, max.
[05:48] Nanbu
I'm gonna have to line up the
toughest fights I can manage for you.
[05:51] Nanbu
Five matches, five wins.
That's the stipulation.
[05:55] Nanbu
It's not gonna be easy, Joe.
[05:59] JD
Where do we start?
[06:01] Nanbu
You can't start until we do
something about that pile of junk.
[06:04] Nanbu
Gotta cover our bases, first.
[06:09] Nanbu
You saw it, right?
[06:11] Nanbu
That Gear Yuri uses,
it's a custom Shirato model.
[06:14] Nanbu
It's directly connected to
the body, which kills the lag in response time,
[06:18] Nanbu
on top of being in another league,
in terms of weight and durability.
[06:21] Nanbu
You could say the man's body
is cutting-edge Shirato tech.
[06:27] JD
So why don't we just use
that cutting-edge stuff, too?
[06:30] Nanbu
You really think it's that simple?
[06:33] Nanbu
The integrated Gear isn't just some machine.
[06:35] Nanbu
Even testing it is risky as hell.
[06:42] Nanbu
And where would we get
that kind of cash from?
[06:46] Nanbu
And to be honest, he's probably
the only one who can handle that thing.
[06:49] Nanbu
If your average boxer tried it on,
their body wouldn't be able to keep up.
[06:53] JD
Come on, Pops...
[06:54] Nanbu
Yuri's the only one!
[06:55] Nanbu
Only someone with his body
and skill can manage it!
[06:59] JD
You've got a pretty high
opinion of the guy...
[07:02] Nanbu
Damn right I do!
[07:08] Nanbu
Especially considering we're gonna
have to take down guys like him.
[07:12] Nanbu
That's the kind of world
we're stepping into, here.
[07:23] Nanbu
You listening, Joe?
[07:27] Nanbu
Damn it, what the hell was that?
[07:45] Santa
Hey, Oicho!
[07:47] Santa
Let's do it!
[07:48] Oicho
Wake up, Sachio.
[08:03] Oicho
Hey, what cool cameras! Can I see?
[08:06] Camera
You're in the way, kid. Buzz off.
[08:07] Oicho
It's not gonna cost
you anything to let me look!
[08:09] Oicho
And they're locked up,
it's not like I can steal them!
[08:11] Camera
I can't have filthy runts running
underfoot when I'm trying to do my job!
[08:14] Oicho
Don't be a cheapskate!
Just for a second, please?
[08:17] Oicho
Whoa, a mouse is chewing on your cameras!
[08:20] Oicho
I'm being honest, mister!
[08:21] Camera
A mouse?!
[08:23] Camera
Holy crap, you're right!
[08:28] Camera
I can't believe this!
[08:30] Santa
Mine!
[08:31] Camera
Wait!
[08:32] Oicho
Hup!
[08:33] Oicho
Dumbass!
[08:34] Camera
Thieves!
[08:37] Santa
Run for it!
[08:40] Camera
Somebody, grab them!
[08:43] Oicho
No time for snacks, Bonjiri!
[08:45] Oicho
We need to go!
[08:46] Bonjiri
'Kay.
[08:46] Camera
Stop!
[08:56] Nanbu
Nothing that's banged up too badly...
[08:58] Nanbu
For the air pressure valve and cylinder 64,
[09:01] Nanbu
I want something as new as we can get.
[09:04] Nanbu
Beyond that, the full set, please.
[09:05] Goskino
You got it.
[09:08] Goskino
Let me just check my stock. Be right back.
[09:15] Nanbu
Look at that...
[09:21] Potemkin
That thing right there...
[09:22] Potemkin
It's the composite titanium
prototype Shirato cooked up
[09:26] Potemkin
before their current integrated model.
[09:28] Potemkin
It's top shelf stuff.
Speed's comparable to the latest model.
[09:32] Nanbu
If we had this bad boy...
[09:37] Pot
But mine's got more power!
[09:40] Nanbu
Your gear looks pretty badass,
[09:43] Nanbu
but you're not gonna be fighting
in the ring with gloves like those.
[09:46] Goskino
He's Potemkin Higashi, a former Megalo Boxer.
[09:49] Goskino
And if you don't want him to rough
you up, take your hands off the merchandise.
[09:53] Nanbu
Oh, sorry! Couldn't help myself!
[09:55] Goskino
You guys can't afford it, anyway.
[09:57] Bonjiri
Slow down, Santa!
[10:00] Bonjiri
I said not to shout my name
out like that! Damn...
[10:02] Bonjiri
Sorry...
[10:05] Oicho
I get the middle!
[10:07] Bonjiri
I'm beat...
[10:09] Sachio
Do you have the stuff?
[10:11] Oicho
Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah!
[10:14] Goskino
Potemkin, keep an eye on them.
[10:17] Goskino
Bunch of greedy-ass kids...
[10:25] JD
You're not gonna buy that one, Pops?
[10:28] JD
But it'd give us an edge in Megalonia, right?
[10:33] Pot
Don't make me laugh, kid!
[10:34] Pot
You're talking about getting into Megalonia
in front of me, who use to be ranked 96th?
[10:38] JD
You ever heard of this guy?
[10:39] Nanbu
Nope.
[10:40] Goskino
Hey!
[10:42] Goskino
I told you to watch those kids!
[10:44] Pot
I know, I know.
[10:45] Pot
Here. That's for the cameras.
[10:49] Pot
Red Candy!
[10:52] Nanbu
That stuff's gonna rot your brain, kid.
[10:55] Goskino
They're a bunch of street kids,
[10:57] Goskino
living hand-to-mouth by
stealing whatever they can.
[11:00] Goskino
But when they get some Red Candy,
[11:02] Goskino
it lets them escape the harsh,
harsh reality of life for just a moment.
[11:06] JD
Yeah, right. You're the one who
put them up to it, didn't you?
[11:10] Nanbu
Joe!
[11:11] Sachio
Hey, man! There was supposed to be four!
[11:14] Goskino
I'm being generous by
giving you three for that junk!
[11:16] Goskino
Get out of my face with
your rancid breath, boy!
[11:19] Sachio
Don't... touch me!
[11:24] Goskino
Y-You little shit!
[11:27] Nanbu
Wh-Whoa there!
[11:28] Goskino
You want some of this, too?!
[11:35] JD
Give it a rest, man.
[11:37] Goskino
Potemkin!
[11:38] Pot
R-Right.
[11:40] JD
Look, calm down, man. My bad. I give up.
[11:44] Nanbu
Damn it...
[11:45] Goskino
Don't just stand there!
[11:47] Pot
B-But...
[11:51] Nanbu
That's what happens when you butt
into other people's business, fool.
[11:55] JD
What was I supposed to do?
[11:57] Nanbu
How about ignore it?
It had nothing to do with you.
[12:00] JD
But he was just a kid.
[12:06] JD
Not a cute one, but still...
[12:24] Sachio
What's with the run-down gym...?
[12:28] Nanbu
This is the 185th ranked Megalo Boxer,
[12:30] Nanbu
Shark Samejima. Known as "Maneater."
[12:34] Nanbu
He's got his share of losses,
[12:36] Nanbu
but about 70% of those are
disqualifications for fighting dirty.
[12:39] Nanbu
Word is he's had trouble lining up opponents.
[12:43] JD
A hungry, man-eating shark, huh?
[12:47] Nanbu
For the guy at the bottom of the
ranking to make his way up, fast,
[12:50] Nanbu
you first need to draw attention to yourself.
[12:53] Nanbu
And this guy is perfect for that.
[12:58] JD
So I'm fish bait now, huh?
[13:01] Nanbu
The match is in five days.
[13:03] Nanbu
Let's get started.
[13:05] JD
I don't need any gear?
[13:08] Nanbu
I got something to teach you first.
[13:10] JD
Teach me?
[13:13] JD
What haven't you taught me alrea—
[13:16] JD
Ow!
[13:18] Nanbu
Remember that little scrap yesterday?
[13:21] Bonjiri
I'm hungry.
[13:21] Nanbu
You get so focused on trying to
intercept that you let your guard down.
[13:23] Sachio
Shut up.
[13:24] Nanbu
That's a bad habit of yours.
[13:26] JD
You piece of—
[13:28] Nanbu
C'mon.
[13:30] Nanbu
You did it again.
[13:32] Nanbu
You need to stop trying to parry
when you don't need to.
[13:34] Nanbu
Focus on keeping that guard up.
[13:37] Nanbu
Your Gear's being upgraded.
[13:42] Nanbu
But no matter how good the Gear is,
[13:45] Nanbu
it's not what makes or breaks a fight.
[13:47] Nanbu
It always comes down to the
guy wearing it. Remember that.
[13:52] JD
Let's keep at it.
[13:57] Sachio
Megalonia my ass...
[13:59] Bonjiri
So hungry...
[14:01] Santa
Let's go, Sachio.
[14:02] Sachio
He's at the bottom of the ranks!
[14:04] Nanbu
See, you dropped your guard again.
[14:08] Nanbu
We're gonna have to really
work on your defense.
[14:11] Nanbu
You gonna sway out of the way?
Or weave around the punches?
[14:14] Nanbu
You'd better think hard
and fast out there,
[14:16] Nanbu
or you could end up dead.
[14:17] Oicho
Ha! Got you!
[14:20] Santa
Now you're gonna get it!
[14:21] Santa
Take that!
[14:23] Oicho
That's cold!
[14:23] Nanbu
They're here again? Damn...
[14:25] Oicho
Bam!
[14:25] Nanbu
Hey, kids! You're distracting us!
Go play somewhere else!
[14:28] Sachio
It's not like this is your property, pal!
[14:30] Oicho
The riverbank is freedom!
[14:31] Bonjiri
Viva freedom!
[14:32] Nanbu
I've had just about enough of you runts...
[14:35] Sachio
You got some kinda problem?
[14:39] JD
Not me.
[14:40] JD
Let's keep at it, Pops.
[14:42] Nanbu
All right.
[15:00] Nanbu
How's the Gear doing?
[15:01] Nanbu
Let me get ready, and you can
try taking a shot at me.
[15:06] Nanbu
It had to be a body blow...?
[15:08] JD
Feels pretty good. I'm impressed, Pops.
[15:11] Nanbu
What else do you expect?
[15:12] Nanbu
A first-rate trainer's gotta have
a knack for tinkering, too.
[15:17] Nanbu
It oughta be twice as powerful as before.
Hell, three times, maybe.
[15:21] Nanbu
This bad boy should be enough to...
[15:22] Sachio
Wrong!
[15:25] Sachio
You can't win with that Gear.
[15:27] Sachio
Yeah, it's got more power, but the added
weight is gonna put strain on his arms.
[15:31] Sachio
He won't last a single round if he can't
keep up with the other guy's speed.
[15:35] Sachio
Plus, you'll burn out the battery
if you try and push it any harder.
[15:41] Nanbu
You might know your stuff, for a kid,
[15:43] Nanbu
but if he fights like I tell him to,
one round will be plenty.
[15:47] Sachio
He'll end up dead if he—
[15:50] Nanbu
What else can we do?!
[15:52] Nanbu
It's the only option we've got!
[15:54] Nanbu
Mind your own business, boy!
[15:56] Sachio
What did you say?!
[15:57] Sachio
Shit! Let go of me!
[16:00] Nanbu
Damn it.
[16:02] Nanbu
Joe, time for a break.
[16:05] Nanbu
What a pain in the ass...
[16:07] Nanbu
Stupid kids.
[16:08] Nanbu
Acting like you know what
you're talking about...
[16:09] JD
Why do you come here every day, anyway?
[16:12] Sachio
Don't touch that!
[16:14] JD
Whoa...
[16:15] JD
I wasn't gonna take it.
[16:21] Sachio
Look... you wanna get into Megalonia, right?
[16:24] Sachio
Could you... Could you take me with you?!
[16:29] JD
If you wanna go, make your own way there.
[16:32] JD
We don't have enough time on our hands
[16:35] JD
to babysit some kid who
can't pull his weight.
[16:37] Sachio
I'm not just some kid! My name is Sachio!
[16:41] Sachio
And there's no way you'll make
it to Megalonia with that Gear!
[16:46] Sachio
You bottom-ranked bastard!
[16:51] Nanbu
Stupid brat acts like he knows everything!
[16:54] Nanbu
I get it, all right? I know
I'm asking for the impossible...
[16:59] (Flashback) Fuji
Mr. Nanbu, you have three months.
[17:02] (Flashback) Fuji
I'm looking forward to seeing
this plan of yours in action.
[17:06] Nanbu
What plan?! Damn it all!

The smoke's coming from the boat!
[17:53] JD
Pops?!
[17:58] Nanbu
I've really screwed up now...
[18:00] JD
I thought you were upgrading it?!
Now you've wrecked the whole thing!
[18:04] Nanbu
Shut up!
[18:05] Nanbu
And quit bitching about what's already done!
[18:08] Nanbu
I've gotta figure something out...
[18:10] Nanbu
It's not just your neck
on the line with this!
[18:13] JD
Even so, the match is tomorrow!
[18:16] JD
What're we gonna do without any Gear?
[18:17] Kids
This is bad!
[18:19] Kids
It's Sachio! Sachio's in trouble!
[18:22] Kids
You gotta help him, bottom-ranker!
[18:24] Kids
Bottom-ranker!
[18:27] Kids
He got caught stealing this!
[18:31] JD
He did?
[18:32] Nanbu
Whoa! It's a blessing from the heavens!
[18:35] Santa
No! Sachio asked us to get this Gear to you!
[18:40] Goskino
Who'd you give it to?
[18:43] Goskino
You could've just been quiet
and taken the Red Candy...
[18:45] Goskino
And instead you went and
tried to take the prototype.
[18:48] Sachio
Screw you!
[18:50] Sachio
We're the ones who found that Gear!
[18:53] Sachio
And you bought it off us for chump change!
[18:56] Sachio
All I did was take back
what's rightfully ours!
[18:58] Goskino
Kid always has something to say...
[19:00] Goskino
It's not like you had
anywhere else to fence it.
[19:03] Goskino
If you're gonna spill, do it
while you have the chance.
[19:05] Sachio
Don't touch my hat...
[19:08] Sachio
with your filthy... hands!
[19:12] Goskino
Don't make such a mess in the store— Huh?
[19:23] Goskino
Potemkin!
[19:27] JD
That was a stupid-as-hell thing to do.
[19:29] Sachio
I'm not some kid who can't pull his weight...
[19:32] Sachio
If you're going to Megalonia,
you'll need that Gear...
[19:36] JD
Why do you care?
[19:41] Potemkin
Now you've done it!
[19:45] Nanbu
Joe!
[19:50] Nanbu
Whoa, you've got a match tomorrow, kid!
[19:56] JD
Don't interrupt, Pops.
[19:58] JD
I'm in the middle of a spar, here.
[20:00] Potemkin
Your friends all showed up, huh?
[20:03] JD
Don't worry.
[20:04] JD
You're only gonna be fighting me.
[20:06] Nanbu
Joe!
[20:08] Pot
In that case...
[20:10] Pot
Let's pick up where we left off!
[20:14] JD
With this thing... I can take him.
[20:18] Nanbu
Got him!
[20:22] Potem
How many punches did you block just now?
[20:24] JD
What the—?!
[20:26] Pot
I don't use my Gear with boxing gloves, pal!
[20:36] Nanbu
Joe!
[20:37] Bonjiri
Sachio! Y-You're bleeding!
[20:40] Nanbu
I-It's gonna fry him!
[20:41] Sachio
Move!
[20:48] Sachio
Aw, man... the Gear...
[20:50] Nanbu
This is over. We need to get the
hell out of here while we can.
[20:53] Nanbu
Joe!
[20:54] JD
It's not the Gear that decides who wins...
[20:58] JD
You're a first-rate trainer, right?
[21:00] JD
How do I take him down in the final round?
[21:05] Nanbu
Damn it all...
[21:07] Nanbu
A counter.
[21:09] Nanbu
Your punches are getting to him.
[21:11] Nanbu
Get him frustrated,
and then press your way inside...
[21:15] Nanbu
It'll come down to whether his
last punch is a right or a left—
[21:19] Sachio
Let me make the call!
[21:21] Sachio
That's cool with you, right, Joe?
[21:28] JD
I can feel something inside me...
[21:32] JD
Something tingly.
[21:37] Pot
Time for the final round!
[21:40] Sachio
The motors for the left and right
side of his Gear sound different.
[21:44] Sachio
His last shot is gonna be a heavy-duty left!
[22:01] JD
You won the bet.
[22:04] JD
Not bad.
[22:06] Sachio
C-Can I...
[22:10] JD
Sachio!
[22:12] JD
What're you doing, man?
[22:13] JD
You're coming with us to Megalonia, aren't you?
[22:20] JD
First, we're gonna need to find me a new Gear.
[22:23] Nanbu
That's it! That's it!
[22:24] JD
Ow!
[22:26] Nanbu
You two might've just seized
victory from the jaws of defeat!
[22:28] Nanbu
I know what we can do!
[22:30] Nanbu
It's the only way we can
make it into Megalonia!

Yeah. It's the only way.

[01:12] Joe
Yeah.

This is nuts, isn't it?
[01:33] Nanbu
You think anybody sane
would try something like this?
[03:31] (Flashback) Sachio
Are you serious?!
[03:33] (Flashback) Nanbu
This makes all those fixed
fights look like a cakewalk.
[03:36] (Flashback) Nanbu
The biggest gamble of Nanbu Gansaku's life...
[03:39] (Flashback) Sachio
But if he fights without any Gear...!
[03:42] (Flashback) Nanbu
Think about it, though.
[03:43] (Flashback) Nanbu
We're after the top of the rankings.
[03:46] (Flashback) Nanbu
But who the hell wants to fight an unknown
prospect from the bottom of the rankings?
[03:51] (Flashback) Nanbu
Nobody's gonna want to bother.
[03:54] (Flashback) Nanbu
So we need to create something...
[03:56] (Flashback) Nanbu
Give them a taste of the gearless fights that only you can offer them.
[04:03] (Flashback) Nanbu
I'm only gonna be able to
put together five matches
[04:05] (Flashback) Nanbu
in the three months leading into Megalonia.
[04:07] (Flashback) Nanbu
The first three will be to build your rep.
[04:10] (Flashback) Nanbu
You'll be fighting without any Gear.
[04:12] (Flashback) Nanbu
We're gonna sell the world on "Gearless" Joe.
[04:15] (Flashback) Nanbu
"Gearless" Joe...?
[04:17] (Flashback) Nanbu
Yeah.
[04:18] (Flashback) Nanbu
Anyone who wants to make a name for
themselves is gonna be champing at the bit.
[04:24] (Flashback) Nanbu
They'll know a match with
our boy will get them attention.
[04:27] (Flashback) Nanbu
The real fights will be the last two.
[04:29] (Flashback) Nanbu
We'll use those to break
into the top of the ranks.
[04:32] (Flashback) Nanbu
A fake ID, five straight wins,
and fighting without Gear...
[04:37] (Flashback) Nanbu
That's my plan.
[04:39] (Flashback) Nanbu
Joe, this is gonna be one rough bluff.
[04:42] (Flashback) Nanbu
But if you wanna get into the real ring,
then you're gonna have to take the bet.
[04:46] (Flashback) Nanbu
And really stake something on this.
[04:50] (Flashback) Joe
It doesn't seem right to me.
[04:52] (Flashback) Joe
We're not just trying to get into Megalonia...
[04:56] (Flashback) Joe
We're trying to win it.
[04:59] (Flashback) Joe
A small stake won't cut it.
[05:01] (Flashback) Joe
If I'm gonna gamble, then I'm all in.

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to explain.

Prior to the fight, Joe's team requested

Seriously?!
[05:38] Crowd
That's insane!
[05:39] Crowd
What the hell?! Is he screwing around?
[05:40] Ref
The IMA Megalo Box regulations
do not prohibit fighting without any Gear.

Thus, the match will proceed
according to the standard rules.

Samejima, this guy thinks
Megalo Boxing is a joke! Kill him!
[05:58] Ref
Three minute rounds, no round limit!

Winner will be decided by KO or TKO!

[06:18] Nanbu
You use your feet like we practiced,

But watch out for fouls.
[06:24] Nanbu
There's no telling what this bastard
might pull when he's pissed.

No chance in hell!
[12:54] Nanbu
What were you doing in there?!
[12:54] Sachio
Pops, give it a rest!
[12:56] Sachio
This is no time to argue!
[12:58] Nanbu
Shut it!
[13:00] Nanbu
Don't butt in, brat!
[13:03] Nanbu
You know if you don't hit the other guy,
[13:05] Nanbu
you can't win, no matter how
many rounds you fight, don't you?!
[13:08] Joe
And if he can't hit me, I won't lose,
no matter how many rounds we fight.
[13:12] Joe
I'm doing this my way.
[13:14] Nanbu
Your way is a load of crap!
[13:16] Nanbu
If you've got energy to mouth off at me,
[13:18] Nanbu
maybe you should be using it
to feed that bastard your fist!
[13:23] Nanbu
Hey, what're you—
[13:25] Nanbu
Enough—stop—give it a rest!
[13:28] Sachio
This is the biggest gamble of your life?!
[13:31] Sachio
You're never gonna make it into
Megalonia at this rate, you phony!
[13:35] Sachio
You're just like them!
[13:37] Sachio
Joe's risking his life out there,
but all you do is complain!
[13:42] Sachio
And you're no better, Joe!
[13:45] Sachio
You think you can do this on your own?!
[13:48] Sachio
On your own...
[13:56] Sachio
And I'm not crying!
[14:02] Nanbu
Joe...
[14:04] Joe
I know.
[14:05] Joe
I just hadn't warmed up yet.
[14:08] Joe
In the next round—
[14:09] Nanbu
Joe.
[14:13] Joe
What do you want, Pops?
[14:14] Nanbu
Listen to me. Fear is a human instinct.
[14:19] Nanbu
It's there to keep you safe.
[14:22] Nanbu
But boxers have to take
that fear and master it.
[14:27] Joe
What're you talking about?
[14:29] Nanbu
Your body is telling you that it's afraid.
[14:39] Nanbu
You can't move the way you usually do, can you?
[14:42] Nanbu
Feels like you're tied up, right?
[14:47] Nanbu
Some second I am.
[14:49] Nanbu
I didn't notice that you were acting
totally different than usual...
[14:54] Nanbu
Guess I was the one the
pressure was getting to.
[15:01] Nanbu
Sachio's right. If you wanna go to Megalonia,
[15:05] Nanbu
fighting on your own isn't gonna cut it.
[15:07] Nanbu
But there's three of us!
[15:13] Joe
Tell me what to do.
[15:33] Nanbu
There you go. Remember what
you practiced under the bridge.
[15:38] Shark
Bastard!
[15:39] Nanbu
That rhythm that we drilled into you.
[15:43] Shark
You...!
[15:48] Nanbu
Don't let him lead.
[15:51] Nanbu
Make him dance with you!
[15:55] Nanbu
We're not in the underground anymore.
[15:56] Sachio
Joe! Get him!
[15:58] Nanbu
You're the only one who can control this ring.
[16:04] Shark
You're not getting away!

Nice work!

You proved me wrong, kid!
[17:03] Crowd
This is unbelievable!
[17:11] Sachio
He did it! He did it!
[17:12] Sachio
Pops, he really did it!
[17:17] Nanbu
You're damn right.
He pulled it off, the little bastard.
[17:48] Nanbu
That's one hurdle cleared...
[17:50] Nanbu
Just like I planned.
[17:53] Joe
Like you planned, huh?
[17:55] Joe
Who was the guy sulking,
going "Some second I am!" again?
[18:01] Nanbu
You get awful damn cocksure
the second someone tries to be nice!
[18:05] Joe
Yeah? You want a piece of me, Pops?
[18:07] Sachio
You're never gonna make it into
Megalonia at this rate, you phony!
[18:20] Nanbu
I'd say the kid probably made
the biggest contribution today.
[18:23] Joe
Yeah.

All right!

You're the one who called me here.

I found what you were asking for.
[21:34] Yabunuma
You couldn't ask for a better

Try not to look too shocked. This guy is 17th.

No way...
[03:20] Nanbu
I still can't believe it.
[03:22] Nanbu
I never thought I'd see you again, Aragaki.
[03:28] Aragaki
Right. Likewise.
[03:30] Aragaki
I still can't believe I made it
back from that hell of a war...
[03:37] Nanbu
This might sound insincere
coming from a hustler like me,
[03:40] Nanbu
but it's an actual miracle.
[03:42] Nanbu
You being here, with me again.
[03:46] Nanbu
Just like back in the good old days.

Don't look down like that.

I want you to know that it saved me,

You must've had it rough...
[04:08] Aragaki
Would it be all right if I showed you
my gratitude, Coach Nanbu?
[04:13] Nanbu
Hell no, I don't deserve that.
[04:16] Nanbu
Just being able to see you
alive again is plenty.
[04:19] Nanbu
Not to mention, you're ranked 17th,
[04:22] Nanbu
and willing to fight Joe,
who's just starting out...
[04:25] Nanbu
I don't know where to begin to thank you.
[04:28] Aragaki
I've decided I wanted to destroy him.
[04:31] Aragaki
This new fighter that you've
put your time into bringing up.
[04:39] Nanbu
What are you saying?!
[04:44] Aragaki
It's time for you to pay your
portion of the debt...
[04:47] Aragaki
for the things I've lost.
[04:54] Joe
What did you just say, Pops?
[04:57] Joe
Hey, Pops!
[04:59] Sachio
He must just be tired...
[05:01] Sachio
He was on his feet all day in his good
shoes, which he barely even wears.
[05:04] Sachio
Can't blame him for getting a little anxious...
[05:07] Joe
What the hell do you mean,
we're not doing the fight?!
[05:10] Nanbu
I'm not saying it won't happen.
But it's a possibility.
[05:13] Nanbu
In case something else turns up, where we
can make it through without this match.
[05:17] Joe
Don't give me that bullshit!
[05:19] Joe
This is our chance to get into
the top of the ranking!
[05:22] Joe
Isn't this what we've been betting on?!
[05:24] Nanbu
And it's not a good bet if
the outcome is obvious!
[05:28] Joe
You saying I'm gonna lose?
[05:32] Nanbu
I'm saying it's not gonna be easy.
[05:35] Nanbu
Not the way you are now.
[05:40] Nanbu
A fighter who knows
everything I have to teach...
[05:44] Nanbu
has shown up again.
[05:47] Nanbu
And he hasn't changed a bit.
[05:50] Sachio
I dunno about that, actually.
[05:56] Sachio
Aragaki was a soldier, right?
[05:59] Sachio
He lost both his legs in an explosion
[06:01] Sachio
while he was stationed at the front, it says.
[06:05] Sachio
He was missing in action for a while,
[06:08] Sachio
but was eventually found,
and returned home a year later.
[06:20] Nanbu
He... fights in this condition?
[06:23] Aragaki
It's time for you to pay your
portion of the debt...
[06:26] Aragaki
for all the things I've lost.
[06:36] Nanbu
Joe.
[06:38] Nanbu
This fight is too risky.
[06:40] Nanbu
I'm not trying to chicken out, but—
[06:41] Joe
I'm fighting him.
[06:47] Joe
We're going to Megalonia.
[06:51] Joe
Isn't that right?
[06:59] Sachio
Pops...
[07:18] Nanbu
Your punches are first rate.
[07:20] Nanbu
But if you're not in the right range,
they lose a lot of their impact.
[07:24] Nanbu
We've gotta drill the correct
distance into you.
[07:30] Nanbu
There you go!
SIGN Team Nowhere
[07:31] Nanbu
No special plan is gonna help this time.
[07:33] Nanbu
We've just gotta polish

[07:45] Joe
Yo!
[07:46] Fishermen
Yo!
[07:50] Sachio
Welcome back.
[07:53] Joe
Where's Pops?
[07:54] Sachio
He said he was going out.
[07:56] Sachio
The old guy was mumbling the whole time
he was making the miso soup.
[08:07] Sachio
So salty!
[08:09] Joe
Works for me.
[08:16] Joe
You oughta exercise once in a while
instead of messing with machines all day.
[08:23] Sachio
I don't really do the whole exercise thing.
[08:28] Sachio
I've been looking into Aragaki's background
from his records at the Veteran's Association.
[08:32] Sachio
His first Megalo Box match was ten years ago.
[08:35] Sachio
Ten matches, all ending with one-round KOs.
[08:37] Sachio
Looked like he had a clear path to the top,
[08:39] Sachio
but because he was in the reserves,
he got called up and sent overseas for duty.
[08:44] Sachio
Look at this, Joe.
[08:46] Sachio
It's only been three years
since he started fighting again,
[08:48] Sachio
but he's made it so far in the rankings...
[08:51] Sachio
If he hadn't stopped fighting
for so long, he might've just...
[08:57] Sachio
Wait, are these his opponents
from after he came back?
[09:00] Sachio
Why would he be so brutal?
[09:03] Sachio
This stuff Pops said about
him wanting to destroy you...
[09:07] Sachio
He might've really meant it.
[09:34] Vets
So, is he conscious?
[09:35] Vets
Yeah. They found him pretty fast.
[09:38] Vets
His life isn't in any danger.
[09:40] Vets
Let's get to the hospital
before his family shows up.
[09:49] Miyagi
Most of these graves are filled with
young men who've taken their own lives.
[09:57] Miyagi
They return home, hoping
to return to their lives...
[10:00] Miyagi
But the things they've seen just
won't leave their memories.
[10:09] Miyagi
Aragaki lost everything to the war.
[10:13] Miyagi
His mind and his body.
[10:16] Miyagi
But even then, he thought
he had a place he could return to.
[10:23] Miyagi
He thought that you would be
the one person waiting for him.
[10:28] Miyagi
But that small hope amounted
to nothing, in the end.
[10:30] Nanbu
It's not like that. I thought he was dead...
[10:34] Miyagi
I know that he was reported killed in action.
[10:37] Miyagi
But you never tried to confirm
what happened to him.
[10:41] Miyagi
That was all it took for you
to give up, wasn't it?
[10:50] Miyagi
He's told me he doesn't want to see you.
[10:53] Nanbu
Wait a minute.
[10:55] Nanbu
Can you tell him something for me?
[10:58] Nanbu
It's fine if he hates my guts...
[11:01] Nanbu
but don't bring those
feelings into this match.
[11:05] Miyagi
You don't intend to ask for forgiveness?
[11:09] Nanbu
We just ended up going
in different directions.
[11:25] Miyagi
What exactly do you want?
[11:27] Miyagi
I thought you wanted to enter Megalonia
with the legs that gave you your life back.
[11:34] Miyagi
If that's what you want,
[11:35] Miyagi
you should cancel this match and
fight someone from the upper ranks.
[11:41] Miyagi
There's still time.
[11:44] Aragaki
We've been through this.
[11:46] Aragaki
If I fight the famous "Gearless" Joe,
that'll bring in more sponsors.
[11:51] Aragaki
In other words, more money.
[11:53] Aragaki
I'll be able to repay you and
everyone else who's had my back.
[11:57] Miyagi
We haven't been doing this because
we expected compensation.
[12:03] Miyagi
Nanbu came by, but I turned him away.
[12:06] Miyagi
You're just jealous of his new student.
[12:12] Miyagi
You're upset that he's in the place
that belongs to you.
[12:16] Miyagi
You need to leave the past in the past.
[12:18] Miyagi
Doesn't it strike you as sad?
[12:21] Miyagi
You're acting like a dog who
was abandoned by its owner.
[12:25] Aragaki
I appreciate what you've done for me,
[12:27] Aragaki
but everyone has their circumstances.
[12:32] Aragaki
It boils down to how you and I
are different people.
[12:39] Miyagi
You sound just like him.

This is your home. Remember that.
[13:50] Nanbu
I'll be waiting for you.
[14:23] Joe
Hey.
[14:34] Sachio
Where have you been, Pops?!
[14:37] Sachio
Look here!
[14:40] Sachio
Aragaki's Gear is designed to be lightweight.
[14:43] Sachio
I don't think he has that big
of a power advantage over Joe.
[14:47] Nanbu
Even if it isn't a big difference,
since Joe isn't wearing any Gear,
[14:51] Nanbu
he's gonna have less power than Aragaki.
[14:53] Sachio
But if they're so set on making
sure his Gear is light,
[14:56] Sachio
maybe it means he's worried about his stamina?
[14:58] Sachio
I mean, he's over thirty.
[15:02] Nanbu
He wants lighter Gear so it won't slow him down.
[15:07] Nanbu
The speed he moves in and
out with, his step work...
[15:10] Nanbu
He's done all the training he can...
[15:12] Nanbu
to compensate for any handicap
those legs would give him otherwise.
[15:16] Nanbu
More so than he ever did
when I was with him.
[15:18] Sachio
It's just one disadvantage after another...
[15:20] Sachio
Whose side are you even on, Pops?
[15:25] Sachio
I mean, one of your students
is near the top of the ranking!
[15:29] Sachio
How didn't you notice him sooner?
[15:33] Nanbu
Shut up.
[15:38] Nanbu
What do you want from me?
[15:40] Nanbu
I thought he was dead until the other day.
[15:47] Nanbu
I'd forgotten all about him...
[15:53] Nanbu
Like he never even existed.
[15:58] Nanbu
It's no wonder he hates me.
[16:01] Nanbu
I buried his life, just because
it was convenient for me.
[16:06] Nanbu
I'm a damned traitor.
[16:10] Aragaki
The Nanbu I know would've never tried
something as gimmicky as fighting without Gear.
[16:16] Aragaki
I'm honestly disappointed.
[16:18] Aragaki
Though that might sound rude,
considering you're his fighter.
[16:21] Joe
I agree with you.
[16:23] Joe
But I don't exactly hate the old man's bluffs.
[16:28] Aragaki
You must trust him a lot.
[16:30] Joe
He believed in me. So I'll believe in him.
[16:34] Joe
Simple enough, right?
[16:37] Aragaki
It's his nature to betray that
kind of trust without hesitation.
[16:41] Aragaki
I just hope that doesn't happen to you.
[16:45] Joe
You saying it's Pops' fault
your legs ended up like that?
[16:54] Joe
He's got his life, and I've got mine.
[16:59] Joe
You can blame whoever you want,
but in the end, it's your call to make.
[17:04] Aragaki
I don't think the two of us will see eye-to-eye.
[17:06] Joe
Well, you wanna destroy me, don't you?
[17:09] Joe
Go on ahead.
[17:13] Joe
Just don't expect it to be easy.
[17:21] Nanbu
You're putting too much
weight on your front foot again!
[17:24] Nanbu
You've gotta split it evenly!
[17:25] Nanbu
Always keep that balance in mind!
[17:28] Nanbu
See, if he dodges one of those,
you'll be too slow to follow up!
[17:33] Nanbu
Aragaki's fast when it comes to
switching between attack and defense!
[17:36] Nanbu
If you can't keep up, he'll be all over you!
[17:41] Nanbu
What's wrong? You're not done yet!
[17:43] Joe
Pops...
[17:45] Joe
You still don't think I can win?
[17:49] Joe
The Pops I know, even if he was lying,
would at least tell me I could pull it off.
[17:55] Joe
You've changed a lot.
[17:57] Joe
You never gave a damn about me
when we were in the underground.
[18:02] Nanbu
I still don't, kid.
[18:05] Joe
Oh, yeah?
[18:07] Joe
Then I'll just win my own way.
[19:04] Sachio
Man, what a crowd!
[19:06] Sachio
There are people who wanted in
so bad that they don't mind standing!
[19:09] Sachio
Pops's plan has really paid off.
[19:13] Sachio
Wait... where is he?
[19:15] Joe
I dunno.
[19:17] Sachio
He didn't seriously give up, did he?

You...

I'm begging you, Aragaki. Listen to me!

Enough!

It's just like you thought!

I ran away.
[19:41] Nanbu
I ran away from what we had back then.

Crush him!
[02:43] Sachio
Isn't there something Joe can do, Pops?!
[02:45] Sachio
You trained Aragaki, didn't you?
[02:47] Sachio
You should know his weaknesses!
[02:50] Nanbu
It's just like I thought...
[02:52] Nanbu
Aragaki's Megalo Boxing
has evolved to a whole new level.
[02:56] Nanbu
Look how he uses the spring
of his prosthetics in his footwork.
[03:00] Nanbu
He might not have a ton of power,
[03:02] Nanbu
but he can send counters flying as soon
as his opponent's finished punching.
[03:11] Nanbu
Joe...
[03:12] Nanbu
Is there really no way?
[03:17] Crowd
We came to see a fight!
[03:18] Crowd
Stop that shit!
[03:20] Crowd
Not a slow dance!
[03:23] Crowd
Hey, "Gearless"! Fight like a man!
[03:26] Nanbu
That's it, Joe! Don't let him go!
[03:37] Sachio
This sucks, Pops!
[04:05] Nanbu
You did a good job out there.
[04:08] Nanbu
That's enough.
[04:11] Nanbu
Even if you kept fighting,
you wouldn't stand a chance.
[04:14] Nanbu
Making sure his boxer leaves
the ring alive is part of a trainer's job.
[04:19] Sachio
You wanna forfeit?!
[04:21] Nanbu
Joe, believe in me.
[04:23] Nanbu
I can get you another match in no time.
[04:26] Nanbu
If we don't stop now, you might
get hurt too bad to fight again.
[04:30] Nanbu
Ow, ow, ow! Let go!
[04:32] Nanbu
Let me go, you little shit!
[04:33] Joe
This is a one-way train with no stops.
[04:36] Joe
Right?
[04:37] Nanbu
B-But kid—
[04:39] Joe
I'm gonna take this as far as I can.
[04:42] Joe
If you want to get in my way,
leave on your own.
[04:45] Joe
If you can't do that... then shut
up and watch how it plays out.
[04:52] Nanbu
H-Hey!
[04:54] Sachio
We're a team, after all!
[04:56] Miyagi
You've set the pace.
Keep it up in the next round...
[04:58] Nanbu
Suit yourself.
[05:05] Joe
Split it evenly... Fifty-fifty.
[05:09] Nanbu
That little...
[05:12] Nanbu
He chooses now to start
doing exactly as I said?
[05:18] Joe
Split it evenly... Fifty-fifty.

[05:43] Nanbu
If it gets dangerous, go ahead

You're the one who said
a special plan isn't gonna help.
[05:54] Nanbu
Damn it! What the hell is he thinking?!
[05:58] Sachio
Joe wants to win using what you taught him.
[06:14] Miyagi
Don't spend any unnecessary time on this.
[06:17] Miyagi
Finish him in the next round.
[06:20] Nanbu
Don't lean too far forward
or be too far back.
[06:23] (Flashback) Nanbu
Split it evenly. Fifty-fifty.
[06:26] (Flashback) Nanbu
That's the form you need

[06:29] (Flashback) Aragaki
Split it evenly! Fifty-fifty!
[06:35] (Flashback) Nanbu
Pretty rough, huh?
[06:37] (Flashback) Nanbu
Makes you wonder if you really
wanna be a Megalo Boxer, don't it?
[06:40] (Flashback) Nanbu
You split your weight evenly. Fifty-fifty.
[06:43] (Flashback) Nanbu
No matter how tough things are now,
if you hold your form,
[06:47] (Flashback) Nanbu
tomorrow will be waiting for you.
[06:50] (Flashback) Nanbu
A brighter tomorrow.
[06:52] (Flashback) Nanbu
That's what it's all about, Aragaki.
[06:56] Miyagi
Hey, Aragaki! Are you listening?
[06:58] Aragaki
Don't worry. I'll end it in the next round.
[07:03] Nanbu
He's got you completely figured out.
[07:06] Nanbu
Plus he's got the advantage in speed
and technique. You can't beat him.
[07:11] Nanbu
You've gotta realize that now.
[07:13] Nanbu
He wants me to watch
him mess you up bad.
[07:17] Nanbu
So—
[07:17] Joe
I'm not so sure.
[07:20] Joe
At first I thought the same thing...
[07:23] Joe
But y'know...
[07:27] Joe
That might not be the truth.
[07:34] Joe
Yeah, he's on a different level
than the other guys I've fought.
[07:38] Joe
But I think he's in the ring
to win this fight, same as I am.
[07:47] Joe
And if he is, then there's no way
in hell I'm gonna run from him.
[07:54] Nanbu
Aragaki... if this isn't about revenge on me...
[07:58] Nanbu
then what are you doing this for...?
[08:02] (Flashback) Aragaki
I've decided I wanted to destroy him.
[08:06] (Flashback) Aragaki
This new fighter that you've
put your time into bringing up.
[08:13] Nanbu
What's wrong?! You need
to oil those legs or something?
[08:17] Nanbu
You can't destroy me like this!
[08:23] Nanbu
Joe... you've got it wrong, kid.
[08:27] Nanbu
It was a mistake to accept this fight.
[08:31] Nanbu
No...
[08:33] Nanbu
Letting him ship off to that war...
[08:38] Nanbu
and not believing he'd come back alive...
[08:41] Nanbu
I was wrong about all of it.
[08:44] Nanbu
I've been running.
[08:48] Nanbu
Joe... you don't need to pay for what I've done!
[09:04] Miyagi
He's done.

Why?

Why do you stand?!

You're looking off balance.
You're letting your guard drop.
[11:31] Nanbu
It's when you're feeling worn out
that you need to remember the basics!
[11:34] Joe
You sure about this?
You really want me to win?
[11:38] Nanbu
Yeah... You bet your ass I do.
[11:42] Miyagi
Don't let it get to you.
It was just a lucky punch.
[11:46] Aragaki
No...
[11:47] Aragaki
He was aiming for it.
[11:49] Aragaki
He didn't let the opportunity slip past...
[11:51] Aragaki
And kept up his stance to boot.
[11:54] Miyagi
Even if that's the case, it's too late.
[11:56] Miyagi
Persistence is the only thing
keeping him on his feet.
[11:59] Miyagi
Go after him. Break his spirit.
[12:06] Nanbu
The kid's a real piece of work.
[12:09] Nanbu
Joe actually understood...
[12:11] Nanbu
that the stuff he was practicing
every day, building onto his core...
[12:16] Nanbu
That it'd eventually break out of
its shell and bear some real fruit.
[12:21] Joe
Split it evenly. Fifty-fifty.
[12:33] Miyagi
That's it! Wear him down!
[12:37] Aragaki
Why?!
[12:38] Nanbu
Joe's as durable as they come.
[12:40] Nanbu
He survived fights in the underground
ring with Gear that was basically useless.
[12:46] Nanbu
No matter what kind of beating
he takes, his spirit won't break.
[12:50] Nanbu
Right now, he's like a red hot-piece of iron.
[12:53] Nanbu
The more he's hit, the tougher he gets.
[13:11] Sachio
Look, Pops!
[13:13] Nanbu
I am.
[13:24] Nanbu
It's all for tomorrow, Aragaki.

You don't need to apologize.
[16:12] Miyagi
Did you think I wouldn't notice?
[16:15] Miyagi
If you hadn't spoken up,
I was going to stop the fight.
[16:21] Miyagi
I'm your trainer.
[16:24] Miyagi
The last thing I want is for my fighter
to never be able to walk again.
[16:31] Miyagi
There's nothing to be ashamed of.
That was an incredible last fight.
[16:44] Miyagi
It's you...
[16:46] Miyagi
Hey, let's clear out.
[16:50] Nanbu
I appreciate it.
[16:52] Miyagi
It's fine.
[17:08] Nanbu
Then you really were hurt...
[17:11] Aragaki
Yes.
[17:12] Aragaki
The doctors said I was risking
being bedridden, actually...
[17:18] Aragaki
But I had a hard time letting go.
[17:21] Aragaki
When I heard about you and Joe...
It felt like a chance for closure.
[17:28] Aragaki
I was going to put an end
to it all. I mean, everything.
[17:32] Aragaki
But when I actually saw you again,
I wasn't sure what I wanted to do.
[17:41] Aragaki
I've been trying to figure out that
answer ever since we met.
[17:47] Nanbu
And did you?
[17:51] Aragaki
Joe said something to me.
[17:53] Aragaki
That you can blame your
problems on whoever you want,
[17:55] Aragaki
but in the end, it's your call to make.
[17:59] Aragaki
I chose the path that led me here.
I don't resent anyone anymore.
[18:04] Aragaki
Not you...
[18:07] Aragaki
Not even myself...
[18:12] Aragaki
I'm going to move on.
[18:15] Aragaki
For me... tomorrow starts today.
[18:22] Aragaki
I've come this far on these legs...
[18:26] Aragaki
That's... enough, isn't it, Coach Nanbu?
[18:32] Nanbu
Yeah.
[18:34] Nanbu
It was good to see your Megalo Boxing.
[18:42] Aragaki
Can you give this to Joe?
[18:50] Nanbu
You...
[18:53] Nanbu
You held onto this?

Here.

What is it?
[19:09] (Flashback) Nanbu
I was hoping to treat you to a
nice dinner before you left.
[19:14] (Flashback) Nanbu
So I bet all the cash I had,
hoping for an upset...
[19:16] (Flashback) Nanbu
And guess what: I lost.

Glen Burroughs!
[20:50] Shirato
Mr. Burroughs's thunderous fighting style
[20:53] Shirato
has earned him the nickname "Bloody Lion."
[20:56] Shirato
He's a heavyweight fighter.
[20:57] Shirato
Standing at over two meters in height,
[20:59] Shirato
with a fighting style that
emphasizes power and agility,
[21:01] Shirato
he has managed to uniquely
distinguish himself in Megalo Boxing,
[21:05] Shirato
where middleweight fighters are
considered to have an advantage.
[21:12] Press
There's less than a month
until Megalonia begins.
[21:15] Press
When will the last fighter be announced,
and what are the criteria?
[21:18] Shirato
After a comprehensive review,
[21:20] Shirato
we'll be announcing the final
competitor publicly.
[21:22] Press
What are the chances of "Gearless" Joe entering?
[21:25] Press
He defeated one of the favorites
to claim a slot, Aragaki, recently.
[21:31] Shirato
Everyone is eligible to fight in Megalonia.
[21:33] Shirato
I assure you, once the candidate has
been selected, you'll know right away.
[21:41] Mikio
You look bored, Yuri.
[21:44] Yuri
Mikio...
[21:46] Mikio
Burroughs has some tough luck.
[21:49] Mikio
The public is focused on some
no-name boxer instead of his entry.
[22:07] Yuri
It's him...
[22:09] Mikio
Yukiko told me about what happened.
[22:11] Mikio
It seems the two of you have
some unfinished business.
[22:15] Mikio
The mystery fighter who enters the
Megalo Box ring without any enhancement...
[22:19] Mikio
"Gearless" Joe.
[22:21] Mikio
He's quite popular.

Joe...

The winner of this match is considered

for "Gearless" Joe to make his presence felt?
[03:04] Commentary
He's got popularity and notoriety on his side,
[03:06] Commentary
but to be honest, he just lacks
skill compared to these guys.
[03:09] Commentary
This is all about two men in this match,
[03:11] Commentary

making it in are close to zero.

Don't worry about it.

This match doesn't actually decide anything.
[03:22] Nanbu
Whoever gets into Megalonia is ultimately
decided by the people who own it.
[03:26] Nanbu
In other words, the promoters.
[03:28] Sachio
But isn't Shirato the owner?
[03:31] Sachio
So if Mikio wins his fight,
he's gotta be getting in.

There's still one thing I need to do.
[06:27] Joe
Would you get this damn thing
off me? I'm not your dog—
[06:31] Nanbu
We've done it, Joe!
[06:33] Nanbu
We've finally made it!
[06:37] Mikio
To truly be the Final One,
[06:40] Mikio
there's one fighter I simply can't ignore.
[06:43] Mikio
"Gearless" Joe. Which of us is fit
to fight in Megalonia?
[06:48] Mikio
Let's settle it in the ring.
[06:52] Nanbu
I guess the thing about luck
is that you never see it coming!
[06:55] Nanbu
We've managed to come this far on a fake ID!
[07:00] Nanbu
It may as well be the real thing, now!
[07:03] Joe
Doesn't this seem a little too good to be true?
[07:08] Nanbu
You've got a point. This is Shirato
we're going up against.
[07:11] Nanbu
I can't blame you for thinking that.
[07:14] Nanbu
But no matter what kind of trap
they're trying to snare you in...
[07:19] Nanbu
once we get in the ring, we've got the edge.
[07:23] Sachio
He's right, Joe!
[07:24] Sachio
I mean, yeah, his Gear is pretty good,
[07:27] Sachio
but Pops and I have seen you
get stronger through your fights.
[07:32] Sachio
There's no way you can lose. I'm sure of it.
[07:37] Joe
In that case, I can't keep sitting around.
[07:41] Nanbu
Yes, you can, dumbass.
You're in no shape to move around yet.
[07:44] Joe
I'm fine.
[07:52] Joe
Sachio...
[07:54] Nanbu
Joe.
[07:57] Nanbu
Take your shirt off for a sec.
[08:01] Sachio
Damn...
[08:02] Nanbu
You've fought non-stop over a short window.
[08:05] Nanbu
And I think the match with
Aragaki was you hitting your limit.
[08:10] Joe
Don't worry about it! They're just bruises.
[08:14] Nanbu
You don't get it, do you?
[08:16] Nanbu
You're exposed when you get in the ring.
[08:19] Nanbu
That makes every one of those
bruises a target for the other guy.
[08:23] Nanbu
You wanna tell them "Please hit me here"?
[08:31] Nanbu
And I'm not worried about you, kid.
[08:34] Nanbu
But you've got a better chance
of winning if you're fully healed up.
[08:38] Nanbu
Getting rest is part of your job, too.
[08:43] Nanbu
Especially if you wanna come
out on top at Megalonia!
SIGN Director Asamoto...
SIGN Are you serious about having a match between that gearless fighter and Mikio?
[09:09] Asamoto
Is that a problem?
SIGN But by beating Suger,
SIGN Mikio has been confirmed as the Final One.
SIGN Can't his comments just be dismissed as a bit of lip service?
[09:21] Asamoto
We can't very well pretend it didn't happen,
considering it was done in the ring.
SIGN I mean, didn't the president set up this previous match
SIGN because she expected Mikio to win?
SIGN So there's no need to test him any further.
SIGN I have to agree.
SIGN The purpose of this committee
SIGN is to make Megalonia, one of Shirato's biggest ventures, a success.
SIGN Which should make it obvious who the last entrant is.
SIGN I doubt your predecessor would've ever hesitated so much over a decision like this.
SIGN Am I wrong?
[10:02] Shirato
We're the ones who set the rules.
[10:05] Shirato
Even if he's a member of the company,
he's merely a fighter in this context.
[10:10] Shirato
We have no reason to accommodate his whims.
SIGN Then...
[10:18] Shirato
I understand how you all feel.
[10:21] Shirato
I'll make the final decision.
[10:25] Asamoto
The committee seems set on Mikio
entering the tournament.
[10:29] Asamoto
I'm not sure the executives will
tolerate much more stalling.
[10:33] Shirato
The Suger match had the
opposite of the intended effect.
[10:36] Asamoto
We may have underestimated
his Gear's effectiveness.
[10:40] Asamoto
To think it had come so far...
[10:43] Shirato
Are you implying Yuri's
integrated Gear is inferior?
[10:45] Asamoto
No, not at all.
[10:48] Asamoto
But... it seems that Mikio has
more support than we anticipated.
[10:53] Asamoto
If we can't keep him from
entering the tournament,
[10:55] Asamoto
it could adversely affect
our agenda for Megalonia.
[11:01] Shirato
I suppose I'll have to use him
to stop my brother, after all.
[11:06] Asamoto
I think so.
[11:07] Asamoto
But to think that he'd
suggest the match himself...
[11:11] Asamoto
Do you think Mikio realized what you're after?
[11:15] Shirato
I honestly can't say.
SIGN Shirato Mikio VS "Gearless" Joe: Will it happen!?
SIGN A match to decide who becomes the "Final One"!!
SIGN Team Nowhere's trainer:
"We're going all the way in Megalonia!!"
[11:28] Yabunuma
Well, it's finally here.
[11:30] Yabunuma
Team Shirato has made an official offer.
[11:33] Yabunuma
The contract signing is gonna be soon.
[11:37] Nanbu
So you weren't feeding me a line
to get me off your back, huh?
[11:41] Yabunuma
To be honest, I didn't think you had
a chance in hell at getting into Megalonia.
[11:46] Yabunuma
Guess that's just one more
upset for you boys, huh?
[11:50] Yabunuma
That's a rare kind of luck you've got.
[11:52] Nanbu
Look, Mr. Yabunuma...
[11:53] Nanbu
What do you think about this deal?
[11:59] Nanbu
I'm just a middleman.
[12:01] Nanbu
Nothing more, nothing less.
[12:06] Nanbu
Sorry to ask you a stupid question, then.
[12:14] Yabunuma
Listen, Nanbu...
[12:15] Yabunuma
There's a rumor I heard.
[12:17] Yabunuma
The owner doesn't want
Shirato Mikio getting into Megalonia.
[12:22] Nanbu
What do you mean?!
[12:23] Nanbu
Then what is this match about?
[12:26] Nanbu
Shirato Yukiko wants to keep
her brother out of the tournament?
[12:30] Yabunuma
Some people think she's worried about
looking like he has an unfair advantage...
[12:33] Yabunuma
But I'm not so sure.
[12:35] Yabunuma
Either way, watch yourselves.
[12:43] Doc
The union between his body and the Gear
has worked as well as we had hoped.
[12:47] Shirato
I see.
[12:48] Doc
It's incredibly adaptive.
[12:51] Doc
You can hardly call it Gear anymore...
it's a part of his body, now.
[12:54] Doc
And the Gear wouldn't have come
this far without his involvement.
[13:00] Yuri
Yes.
[13:14] Trainer
Next!
[13:28] Trainer
Hey, Yuri! That's it for today.
[13:38] Shirato
I'm starting to think the word
"defeat" can't ever apply to you.
[13:43] Yuri
To survive in the ring,
you have to be the genuine article.
[13:50] Shirato
You're right.
[13:52] Asamoto
President. Mikio has requested
you meet him in the lab.
[14:09] Shirato
A new model of Gear?
[14:12] Mikio
I developed it to beat the champion.
[14:14] Mikio
It's not finished, though.
[14:18] Shirato
How can I help you, brother?
[14:21] Mikio
That should be obvious.
The match with "Gearless" Joe.
[14:24] Shirato
Right.
[14:25] Shirato
It's just what you wanted, isn't it?
[14:27] Mikio
You were going to make it
happen anyway, weren't you?
[14:31] Mikio
I know you were behind the
match against Suger, as well.
[14:36] Mikio
It hurts me that you thought I couldn't win.
[14:40] Mikio
But it didn't turn out as you expected.
[14:42] Mikio
So I anticipated your next move would be
[14:44] Mikio
siccing that irritating little stray on me.
[14:50] Mikio
You never wanted me to get into Megalonia.
[14:54] Mikio
And you'll do anything to bring me down.
[14:58] Mikio
Just like how you took Shirato from me.
[15:02] Shirato
It was Grandfather who chose
me to succeed him.
[15:06] Mikio
You manipulated him into it, didn't you?
[15:09] Mikio
It's fine.
[15:11] Mikio
But this is your last chance.
[15:13] Mikio
This time, I'm going to be the one chosen.
[15:18] Shirato
You make it sound like
you're guaranteed to win.
[15:24] Shirato
This was a fun chat, Yukiko.
[15:43] Bonjiri
Come on now, everybody, step right on up!
[15:46] Bonjiri
There's no fee to watch,
[15:47] Bonjiri
just buy a bowl of pork miso soup
and you can observe all day long!
[15:50] Oicho
If you're not gonna eat it,
then you can beat it!
[15:52] Oicho
Like they say, nothing is more
expensive than something free!
[15:55] Santa
Hey, no pictures!
[15:57] Santa
Now, get in line with the rest!
[15:57] Guy
I guess I'll take one...
[15:59] ---
Yeah, me, too.
[15:59] Bonjiri
Thanks for your business!
[16:00] Joe
They run a tight ship.
[16:03] Nanbu
You still hurting?
[16:13] Nanbu
Listen up.
[16:15] Nanbu
As you know, most Gear reacts
to the movements of your muscles.
[16:21] Nanbu
Because of that, there's a slight delay
when compared to a regular punch.
[16:25] Nanbu
That's the advantage you risked
your neck to capitalize on.
[16:29] Sachio
But Mikio's AI-equipped model
[16:33] Sachio
uses sensors to detect his opponent's moves,
[16:35] Sachio
and then the Gear moves his body for him.
[16:39] Sachio
In other words, there's no
lag in his reactions.
[16:42] Nanbu
You get it?
[16:44] Nanbu
Your gearless advantage isn't
gonna apply to this next match.
[16:48] Joe
I'll show him I've got more than that.
[16:51] Nanbu
Don't be stupid!
[16:52] Nanbu
This guy's been studying you.
He can predict your moves!
[16:56] Nanbu
If you're not careful, you're
gonna end up like Suger!
[16:59] Joe
Come on, get ready to take one real quick.
[17:03] Nanbu
Damn it... Do whatever you're gonna do.
[17:11] Nanbu
Y-You... That was way stronger...
[17:22] Sachio
You said that having strong footing
makes for stronger punches, right?
[17:27] Sachio
So we tried helping with that.
[17:30] Joe
His Gear might be good,
but it won't see this coming.
[17:33] Joe
With a shot like this—
[17:34] Nanbu
Sachio!
[17:37] Sachio
Sorry, Pops...
[17:38] Sachio
I know you said Joe had to rest...
[17:44] Sachio
Not that.
[17:46] Sachio
We're a team, all right?
[17:48] Sachio
If you come up with any idea
that'll help us get into Megalonia,
[17:51] Sachio
then go ahead and try it out.
[17:53] Sachio
However...
[17:55] Sachio
Don't sneak around doing it without
telling the rest of us, all right?
[17:59] Sachio
Yeah!
[18:01] Joe
Our chances are better now.
[18:03] Joe
Right, Pops?
[18:05] Nanbu
Yeah.
[18:06] Nanbu
But... even if you have a killer punch,
it won't matter if you can't land it.
[18:11] Nanbu
I'm not sure what difference it'll make,
[18:14] Nanbu
but we need to teach you
some new combinations.
[18:16] Nanbu
Take a shot where I hold the mitts.
[18:18] Nanbu
We're gonna drill you on all the
patterns I can think of.
[18:21] Joe
All of them?
[18:22] Nanbu
Sachio, don't bother with the clock.
[18:24] Nanbu
Pay close attention to what he does,
and remember any mistakes he makes.
[18:28] Nanbu
Eyes wide open, all right?
[18:30] Joe
So we're not taking any breaks, huh?
[18:33] Nanbu
You've got energy to burn, right?
[18:35] Nanbu
We're doing this until one of us gives up.
[18:43] Joe
We've come pretty far, haven't we?
[18:45] Nanbu
Yeah.
[18:46] Joe
We can do this, can't we?
[18:48] Nanbu
Damn right we can!
[18:50] Nanbu
More precision!
[18:51] Nanbu
Pull your fist back in fast!
[18:53] Nanbu
What happened to all that power?!

They actually need me.
[19:02] Sahcio
So, Dad, Mom, don't worry about me.

Nice, Oicho! These are first-class seats!
[19:38] Bonjiri
Well, get a load of that!
[19:42] Oicho
We can see Big Joe in all his glory now!
[19:47] Nanbu
This isn't really my style.
[19:49] Joe
It's fine.
[19:53] Sachio
Team Nowhere, let's do this!
[20:07] Nanbu
Joe—
[20:07] Sachio
Joe!
[20:08] Sachio
Pops...
[20:17] Joe
Thanks for calling me out.
[20:20] Joe
But if you wanna say hello,
save it for the ring.
[20:25] Mikio
Sadly, there won't be a chance for that.
[20:28] Joe
What do you mean?
[20:29] Mikio
You're not getting in the ring.
[20:32] Mikio
You don't have the right to...
[20:34] Mikio
Isn't that right, Junk Dog the fraud?
[20:39] Mikio
The forged ID, the matches you
were throwing in the underground...
[20:43] Mikio
You've got quite a checkered past.
[20:45] Mikio
What'll happen if word gets out?
[20:50] Mikio
But it's up to you if you want to proceed.
[20:54] Mikio
What's your call? Still want to get in the ring?
[20:59] Joe
You piece of—
[21:16] Sachio
Pops...
[21:21] Nanbu
So the outcome was fixed from the beginning?
[21:25] Mikio
Now you know why I chose you.
[21:27] Mikio
Megalonia is a stage for the chosen.
[21:31] Mikio
And I won't let anyone get in my way.
[21:33] Mikio
Not some stray dog... or that woman.

What in the world is happening?
[21:42] Announcer
Joe has yet to enter the ring.
[21:45] Announcer
If he doesn't arrive soon,
Shirato Mikio will win by default.
[21:49] Santa
What happened to Big Joe?
[21:59] Mikio
Your last chance is over.
[22:02] Mikio
I'm taking it all back.

[00:09] TV
It was to be a collision to decide who
would obtain the final ticket to Megalonia!
[00:14] TV
But Shirato Mikio VS "Gearless" Joe
ended in a way no one could've expected!
[00:19] TV
As a result, tomorrow night's Megalonia
Dome commemoration ceremony
[00:24] TV
is expected to officially announce Mikio
as the Final One in the tournament.
[00:29] TV
At the moment, no one knows
why Joe forfeited the match.
[00:33] TV
Could—
[00:35] Fuji
I'm real disappointed here, Mr. Nanbu.
[00:39] Fuji
You were a step away from
getting into Megalonia,
[00:42] Fuji
and then you run away with
your tail between your legs.
[00:45] Nanbu
That's not right.
[00:46] Nanbu
Shirato Mikio set us up!
[00:49] Fuji
Well, that's your problem.
[00:52] Fuji
You realize this isn't some kids'
game we're playing here, right?
[00:58] Fuji
All I want to know is if your
little gamble is over now.
[01:05] Nanbu
It's not.
[01:08] Nanbu
This isn't over!
[02:55] Joe
It's not over? What do you mean?
[02:59] Sachio
You heard what he said, right, Pops?
[03:02] Sachio
Those jerks at Shirato were never
gonna let us into Megalonia.
[03:07] Joe
It wouldn't be over...
[03:10] Joe
if you hadn't stopped me!
[03:13] Joe
Did you forget what we're trying to do?!
[03:18] Nanbu
I'm thinking you're the one who forgot, Joe.
[03:22] Nanbu
If you had slugged Mikio back there
because you were hot under the collar,
[03:26] Nanbu
that would've been exactly what they wanted.
[03:28] Nanbu
Then we'd really be screwed.
[03:31] Nanbu
He knew about your counterfeit ID,
[03:34] Nanbu
along with the matches that we used to throw.
[03:37] Nanbu
Think about it.
[03:38] Nanbu
If Shirato wanted to get rid of us,
[03:40] Nanbu
he could've just told the public what he knew.
[03:43] Nanbu
It would've been easy.
[03:45] Nanbu
But he didn't...
[03:47] Nanbu
Instead, he went to the trouble
of trying to scare us off.
[03:50] Nanbu
All by himself, too.
[03:52] Nanbu
You mean...
[03:54] Nanbu
Shirato Mikio has a reason
he wants to get rid of Joe,
[03:56] Nanbu
one that he hasn't shared with anybody.
[04:00] Nanbu
I get it! So if we can find out why...
[04:03] Nanbu
Yeah.
[04:05] Nanbu
It's not over yet!
[04:09] Nanbu
There's hardly any time until the ceremony!
[04:12] Nanbu
Please, Mr. Fujimaki!
[04:14] Nanbu
If we can figure out what
Shirato Mikio's up to,
[04:16] Nanbu
then we can drag him back into the ring!
[04:21] Fuji
So, you haven't given up, then?
[04:24] Sachio
Hell no, we haven't!
[04:25] Sachio
We promised each other that we're
going all the way in Megalonia!
[04:36] Fuji
This was about two weeks ago...
[04:39] Fuji
Someone showed up in the underground,
sniffing around for info about Joe.
[04:44] Fuji
They looked into that ID,
[04:47] Fuji
and naturally they saw signs
that it had been tampered with.
[04:53] Nanbu
Shit!
[04:54] Fuji
But that's as far as it went.
[04:57] Fuji
See, we're professionals when it
comes to dealing with this sort of thing.
[05:01] Fuji
Someone poking around in the database
isn't gonna undermine our business.
[05:06] Fuji
They'd have to examine
the ID itself to know for sure.
[05:09] Nanbu
You mean...
[05:11] Nanbu
This stuff about him
knowing about Joe's past...
[05:13] Fuji
There's plenty of people in the underground
[05:16] Fuji
mad about what the two of you have pulled off.
[05:18] Fuji
I figure some lowlifes who saw
a chance to make some quick cash
[05:21] Fuji
started spouting a bunch of half-truths.
[05:25] Fuji
Shirato Mikio doesn't have any evidence.
[05:29] Fuji
You fell for his bluff, in other words.
[05:34] Nanbu
Son of a bitch!
[05:36] Nanbu
He actually managed to scam me, Nanbu Gansaku!
[05:41] Fuji
I'll provide the info you need,
but this is your last chance.
[05:46] Fuji
You screw up again,
[05:48] Fuji
and that boy there's gonna
be paying for it, too.
[05:52] Sachio
I'm not some boy!
[05:53] Sachio
I'm Sachio with Team Nowhere!
[05:56] Sachio
And if this intel is just some bullshit,
then there's gonna be hell to pay!
[06:00] Nanbu
Wh-Whoa there...
[06:06] Fuji
I've got the perfect lead.
[06:08] Fuji
His name's Mizuhara Koichi.
[06:11] Fuji
He was a freelance engineer,
[06:13] Fuji
and he did Gear development for
Shirato until about two years ago...
[06:21] Fuji
But they apparently found out he was stealing
and selling parts for cash on the side,
[06:26] Fuji
meaning he's now washed up
and frequents the underground fights.
[06:28] Fuji
He fell so hard, he's one of our regulars.
[06:32] Fuji
With a little bit of incentive,
you might get some good info.
[06:42] Ko1
Wh-What is this?
[06:44] Ko1
Dragging me to this place, out of the blue...
[07:08] Ko1
Look, I don't have anything you'd want to know.
[07:12] Fuji
That's for us to decide.
Just tell us everything you know.
[07:16] Fuji
Your reward will depend on what you provide.
[07:18] Ko1
Wh-What do you wanna know?
[07:21] Nanbu
Everything you know about Shirato.
[07:24] Ko1
Sh-Shirato?!
[07:27] Nanbu
Yeah. Why don't you humor us?
[07:33] Director
Then there are no objections to Shirato
Mikio being selected as the Final One?
SIGN None.
[07:41] Director
Then, it's unanimous.
[07:45] Shirato
Very well.
[07:46] Shirato
Tonight at the ceremony,
we'll announce his entry.
[08:10] Mikio
Looks like I'll finally be fighting you, Yuri.
[08:14] Yuri
Aren't you forgetting something?
[08:16] Mikio
You mean Burroughs?
[08:18] Mikio
With a champion like you, even the
king of beasts fails to compare.
[08:23] Yuri
That's all you have to say about that animal?
[08:25] Mikio
I know a thing or two about handling animals.
[08:29] Mikio
Do you know the real difference
between men and animals?
[08:32] Mikio
Animals lack self-awareness.
[08:35] Mikio
That's why I'll be teaching him...
[08:38] Mikio
That the human he's facing isn't
someone he can overcome.
[08:42] Mikio
Much like I did with the coward
who ran from the ring.
[08:46] Yuri
I wouldn't underestimate them, Mikio.
[08:49] Yuri
If an animal does sink its
teeth into you, it won't let go.
[08:51] Yuri
Especially when it comes to stray dogs...

And which are you, Yuri?

[09:04] Joe
That took a while.
[09:10] Joe
So, how'd it go, Sachio?
[09:14] Sachio
Well, we know everything now.
[09:17] Sachio
About what Mikio is after, and why he did it.
[09:23] (Flashback) Ko1
Shirato hired us to work
on next-gen Gear development.
[09:29] (Flashback) Ko1
That being said, we were
more like lab assistants,
[09:33] (Flashback) Ko1
and all the serious development was
handled by internal Shirato people.
[09:36] (Flashback) Ko1
They'd make a prototype,
and then improve on it...
[09:39] (Flashback) Ko1
For a few months, they repeated that process.
[09:42] (Flashback) Ko1
But one day, the project was ended.
[09:46] (Flashback) Nanbu
What happened?
[09:48] (Flashback) Ko1
Well, it wasn't necessary anymore.
[09:51] (Flashback) Ko1
The next-gen Gear they wanted was completed.
[09:54] (Flashback) Nanbu
And that's Yuri's integrated model?
[09:57] (Flashback) Ko1
Yeah, in the end, at least.
[10:01] (Flashback) Ko1
See, there was actually another
candidate for the next-gen model.
[10:04] (Flashback) Ko1
It's supposed to be the ultimate
evolution of mounted models.
[10:08] (Flashback) Ko1
That's the version that was
loaded with artificial intelligence.
[10:12] (Flashback) Ko1
But it wasn't long before its
development was canceled,
[10:15] (Flashback) Ko1
and the integrated model
was officially chosen.
[10:18] (Flashback) Ko1
The story was that there were too many
defects in the manufacturing process,
[10:22] (Flashback) Ko1
but the thing is, the integrated
model was put together
[10:26] (Flashback) Ko1
by the president's specially selected team...
[10:29] (Flashback) Ko1
So a lot of people figured it was a
race to see who could finish first,
[10:32] (Flashback) Ko1
or a power struggle inside the company..
[10:34] (Flashback) Nanbu
And Shirato Mikio is the guy who
developed the AI-equipped model, right?
[10:39] (Flashback) Ko1
Yeah.
[10:40] (Flashback) Numa
There's a rumor I heard.
[10:42] (Flashback) Numa
The owner doesn't want Shirato
Mikio getting into Megalonia.
[10:47] (Flashback) Mikio
I won't let anyone get in my way.
[10:50] (Flashback) Mikio
Not some stray dog... or that woman.
[10:54] (Flashback) Nanbu
I get it.
[10:56] (Flashback) Nanbu
So Shirato's not a united front...
[11:01] Sachio
The artificial intelligence program
he personally created, Ace.
[11:05] Sachio
Shirato Mikio wants to get into Megalonia
[11:08] Sachio
and beat Yuri to prove something.
[11:12] Sachio
That his Gear is the superior one...
[11:16] Sachio
He'll do whatever it takes.
[11:18] Joe
But it can't be just that.
[11:22] Joe
There's gotta be more to why
he didn't want us to fight...
[11:26] (Flashback) Ko1
Shirato Mikio's Gear?
[11:28] (Flashback) Ko1
Gimme a break, man...
[11:30] (Flashback) Ko1
I've told you everything I know.
[11:33] (Flashback) Ko1
What more do you wanna know?
[11:37] (Flashback) Nanbu
The ceremony is tonight!
[11:39] (Flashback) Nanbu
There's no time!
[11:41] (Flashback) Nanbu
If we can drag him down
and force him into the ring,
[11:45] (Flashback) Nanbu
I know Joe can win!
[11:47] (Flashback) Ko1
I dunno about that.
[11:50] (Flashback) Ko1
L-Look, all I'm trying to say...
[11:52] (Flashback) Ko1
is his AI doesn't have any weaknesses!
[11:55] (Flashback) Ko1
You guys know about it, right?
[11:58] (Flashback) Ko1
The sensors detect movement
in the opponent's Gear,
[12:01] (Flashback) Ko1
and automatically picks
perfect counter-measures!
[12:05] (Flashback) Ko1
How could anyone beat such a monstrosity?
[12:11] (Flashback) Nanbu
What'd you just say?
[12:18] (Flashback) Nanbu
What'd you just say?
[12:19] (Flashback) Ko1
Look, I'm sorry.
[12:21] (Flashback) Ko1
I'm sure you guys can take him...
[12:24] (Flashback) Nanbu
Not that! You said the
sensors were monitoring...
[12:27] (Flashback) Ko1
Th-The Gear.
[12:28] (Flashback) Ko1
The sensors pick up even the faintest
electrical signals from his opponent's Gear.
[12:34] (Flashback) Nanbu
That'd mean...
[12:36] (Flashback) Nanbu
The sensors are only
detecting the other guy's Gear.
[12:40] (Flashback) Nanbu
In other words...
[12:41] Sachio
Mikio's Ace can't predict
a fighter without Gear.
[12:45] Sachio
He was afraid of you, Joe.
[12:48] Sachio
He didn't want a fight with Gearless Joe!
[12:52] Sachio
I would've never guessed,
but now... we can do this!
[12:57] Sachio
Pops said that the ceremony
was gonna be called off tonight.
[13:01] Sachio
We can go to the top!
[13:11] Fuji
So, what'll you do now?
[13:14] Nanbu
We're not the only ones who
want to take Shirato Mikio down.
[13:18] Nanbu
The enemy of an enemy is a friend, y'know?
[13:21] Fuji
Mr. Nanbu.
[13:23] Fuji
People can't change their true nature.
[13:26] Fuji
You can leave the underground,
make new friends,
[13:29] Fuji
but you'll still be a scorpion.
[13:31] Fuji
You realize that there's a limit
to how far you can go, right?
[13:41] Shirato
I don't think so.
[13:44] Nanbu
What?!
[13:45] Nanbu
D-Did you not listen to me?!
[13:49] Shirato
I did.
[13:50] Shirato
I thought you might be here to explain
why you abandoned the fight...
[13:53] Shirato
But making an appeal for a rematch?
[13:55] Nanbu
D-Don't you get it?!
[13:58] Nanbu
Joe is this guy's weakness!
[14:00] Nanbu
If you make this match happen,
we'll be taking your enemy out for you!
[14:04] Shirato
I've heard enough from the
people who ran from the ring.
[14:09] Nanbu
Hang on! That was because of Mikio's trap!
[14:12] Nanbu
We didn't have any choice back there!
[14:15] Nanbu
That whole match was a setup!
[14:18] Nanbu
The same goes for you!
[14:19] Nanbu
You were using Joe and Suger to
keep him from getting into Megalonia!
[14:23] Nanbu
You dragged us into this feud of yours!
[14:27] Shirato
Let's say that your accusations
about my brother are true...
[14:31] Shirato
Why simply accede to his demands?
[14:36] Shirato
If there's a reason that you refuse to explain,
[14:39] Shirato
I can hardly trust you about anything.
[14:43] Shirato
And did you honestly think I would
place my hopes on a gearless boxer?
[14:48] Shirato
I have Yuri. Please leave.
[15:03] Sachio
It'll be fine! I'm sure Pops can take care of—
[15:06] Joe
He wasn't afraid.
[15:10] Joe
Back then, Mikio thought
I wasn't worth fighting...
[15:13] Joe
I was never even in the picture for him.
[15:16] Joe
That's the kind of look he gave me.
[15:20] Joe
I've seen it before.
[15:23] Joe
I'm just saying it's not gonna be easy.
[15:29] Shirato
If you'll excuse me, I have
a ceremony to prepare for.
[15:34] Nanbu
I get it.
[15:36] Nanbu
And I already knew what you thought of us...
[15:41] Nanbu
I was prepared for this kind of response.
[15:44] Nanbu
But I'm telling you, we've come
too far to back down now!
[15:51] Nanbu
He brought up things in our past
that we can't let see the light of day.
[15:55] Nanbu
That's what Mikio threatened us with.
He wanted us to act like we'd lost.
[15:59] Nanbu
This is the proof.
[16:02] Nanbu
You can believe it or not,
[16:04] Nanbu
but that match was set up by Mikio
from start to finish...
[16:08] Nanbu
It was a genuine, 100% fixed fight!
[16:11] Nanbu
And if you don't wanna set up the rematch,
then I can go public with that fact.
[16:15] Nanbu
If word gets out that the Final
One was chosen thanks to cheating,
[16:18] Nanbu
it's gonna be way worse
than just some bad press.
[16:23] Nanbu
If we're going down,
I'll drag all of you with us!
[16:25] Nanbu
That means Megalonia and you!
[16:27] Shirato
And you expect me to trust you after this?
[16:29] Nanbu
Not me. You just need to trust Joe.
[16:33] Nanbu
The fights he's won have all been real!
[16:36] Nanbu
He's the genuine article, and that's a fact!
[16:40] Nanbu
All I'm asking for is a single chance!
[16:42] Nanbu
A chance to show everybody
that Joe is the real deal!
[16:47] (Flashback) Yuri
To survive in the ring,
you have to be the genuine article.
[16:52] Nanbu
This is our last chance!
[16:54] Nanbu
Cancel the ceremony!
[16:56] Nanbu
And make this rematch
between Joe and Mikio happen!
[17:00] Shirato
I understand.
[17:02] Shirato
I understand that I can never accept
how the two of you operate, that is.
[17:09] Shirato
The ceremony will continue, as scheduled.
[17:11] Shirato
In the meantime, you'll have to stay in here.
[17:14] Nanbu
Say what? Hey! Wait—
[17:38] MC
After four years, the Megalonia
Dome is finally complete,
[17:43] MC
with a seating capacity of 100,000!

[17:55] MC

What the hell, Sachio?
Isn't it supposed to be canceled?
[18:17] Santa
It's almost started!
[18:19] Sachio
What're you doing, Pops?!
[18:24] Sachio
Pops!
[18:25] Nanbu
Sachio... sorry...
[18:27] Nanbu
Joe... Sachio...
[18:30] Sachio
What's going on?
[18:31] Sachio
Hey... Pops? ...can't hear...
[18:35] Nanbu
We're screwed! I messed up!
[18:38] Sachio
You did?

Sachio! Big Joe just—

it's easy to say that the heavens

[20:10] Joe
This isn't over yet!
[20:13] Joe
Me and him...
[20:15] Joe
Let us settle this in the ring, please!
[20:17] Mikio
But it is over. What are you
talking about, you coward?
[20:22] Mikio
I already told you, "Gearless" Joe.
[20:25] Mikio
This isn't a place for stray dogs.
[20:28] Mikio
You have to be the genuine article
to stand in the ring of Megalonia.
[20:32] Shirato
Genuine...
[20:34] Mikio
Take him away.
[20:37] Joe
You really want this?!
[20:39] Joe
Is he your idea of the real deal?!
[20:43] Shirato
A moment, please.
[20:47] Shirato
I'm sure we're all surprised.
[20:50] Shirato
But this kind of bold surprise is very much
what we've come to expect from Joe.
[20:56] Shirato
Regarding the results of last night's match,
[20:58] Shirato
I'm fully aware that there has been
a lot of speculation as to the cause...
[21:02] Shirato
However, whatever the truth is,
one thing is certain:
[21:08] Shirato
It's just as Shirato said.
[21:10] Shirato
The only people fit to fight in the ring
at Megalonia are the genuine articles,
[21:14] Shirato
fighters that everyone approves of.
[21:17] Shirato
Not boxers who have won by default.
[21:28] Joe
That's what I like to hear.
[21:34] Shirato
This doesn't mean I trust you.
[21:37] Joe
Fine by me.
[21:41] Shirato
I finally understand why I was
chosen as Grandfather's successor.
[21:46] Shirato
It's because I make the rules.
[21:49] Shirato
This is your last chance, Brother.
[21:55] Mikio
This feels like the first time you've
ever shown your true colors...
[22:00] Mikio
And from here on out,
[22:01] Mikio
I'll be putting everything
I have into destroying you.
[22:07] Shirato
I would like to announce that
the Final One for Megalonia
[22:09] Shirato
will be the winner of the rematch
between Shirato Mikio and Gearless Joe!
[22:20] Kids
Yes! He did it, Pops!
[22:23] Nanbu
Yeah. He did.
[22:27] Nanbu
He pulled it off!

We're partway through the second round.

Don't just stand there!

Shirato has been steadily making
progress throughout the fight
[01:11] Ann
with "Gearless" Joe on the defensive!
[01:13] Ann
He's not putting on a good

His Gear's different than it was before!

[03:41] Shirato
A new model, one without

[03:51] Shirato
One designed to fight Yuri.
[04:06] Nanbu
There you go. He doesn't know that pattern yet.
[04:10] Nanbu
That thing might be able to read you,
[04:12] Nanbu
but if it doesn't have
any data to work with...
[04:15] Mikio
Ace is a fast learner.
[04:25] Ref
He's down!
[04:30] Mikio
Did you seriously think you stood a chance?

The conclusion here is foregone.
[05:02] Yuri
It's not over yet.
[05:06] Yuri
You wanted to see who was the genuine article.
[05:10] Yuri
Isn't that why you had them meet in the ring?
[05:22] Joe
I feel better now.
[05:25] Sachio
It's reading your every move.
[05:27] Sachio
It can use the patterns it learns, too.
[05:32] Sachio
The longer the match goes on,
the stronger his Gear gets!
[05:32] Mikio
Make sure the data capture is working fully.
[05:38] Nanbu
If those combinations aren't gonna work...
[05:41] Nanbu
We're out of options.
[05:43] Joe
Pops, you're the one who said it.
Gear doesn't decide who wins a fight.
[05:48] Joe
Remember?
[05:53] Nanbu
Sachio, cool the other side off, too.
[06:00] Mikio
What's synchronization at?

Rising steadily.
[06:03] Crew
It looks like it'll hit peak
performance in the next round,
[06:07] Crew
so you can—
[06:07] Mikio
I didn't ask for estimates!
[06:08] Mikio
Tell me the numbers.
[06:10] Crew
Uh, yes, sir.
[06:11] Crew
It's currently at 73%.
[06:14] Mikio
How long are you going to take?
[06:19] Mikio
Third-rate idiots.
[06:21] Shirato
He really hasn't changed.
[06:23] Yuri
Synchronization with
the artificial intelligence
[06:26] Yuri
is a burden, physically and mentally.
[06:29] Yuri
I'd think the cost is higher than ever,
with this new model of Ace.
[06:34] Shirato
That's a limitation of his Gear.
[06:36] Shirato
A Gear that no human can
make use of has no future.
[06:41] Shirato
Being unable to see that is why
he can't be entrusted with Shirato.
[06:46] Mikio
I'm going to prove it here in the ring...
[06:49] Mikio
Who was really most fit
to inherit the Shirato business.
[07:06] (Flashback) Mikio
Raise automatic control to 50%.

Don't worry, Sachio.
[09:36] Nanbu
Joe.
[09:39] Nanbu
You're right, kid. It's not the
Gear that decides who wins.
[09:45] Nanbu
It's the fighter.
[09:47] Nanbu
Show him that with that big shot of yours.
[10:01] Mikio
What exactly are you?
[10:32] (Flashback) Mikio
Why?
[10:33] (Flashback) Mikio
Why abandon Ace and choose
that disgusting, freak Gear?
[10:39] (Flashback) Mikio
Are you more loyal to Yukiko?
[10:42] (Flashback) Yuri
I did it to win. That's all.
[10:45] (Flashback) Mikio
In that case...
[10:46] (Flashback) Mikio
Why don't we prove which is
the better Gear, right now?!

Only winners have the right to fight me.

You think you're the only one with real skill?

[11:04] (Flashback) Yuri
What exactly do you want to prove?
[11:07] (Flashback) Mikio
What?
[11:13] (Flashback) Yuri
It's not about Gear.
[11:15] (Flashback) Yuri
Real Megalo Boxers have
control over their own fists

when they choose to stand in the ring.

Are you the one who put your guard up?

Pops! He's gonna kill Joe!
[13:10] Mikio
What is this?
[13:13] Nanbu
What're you doing, Joe?!
[13:15] Nanbu
Get your guard up! Block, you gotta block!
[13:18] Mikio
What the hell are you?!
[13:32] Nanbu
What's going on here?
[13:34] ANN
An odd turn of events!
[13:36] ANN
"Gearless" Joe has dropped his guard,
but Shirato isn't going in for the kill!
[13:40] Crowd
Just beat him already!
[13:42] Crowd
How long are you gonna screw around?!
[13:45] ANN
And that's it for the third round!
[13:49] ANN
What do you think of this turn of events?
[13:51] Color
Let's see... Shirato seems to
have the clear advantage, but...
[14:04] Mikio
Just who are you?
[14:12] Shirato
Why didn't he finish it?
[14:14] Yuri
He was stopped.
[14:16] Yuri
By another part of himself.
[14:19] Nanbu
Sit down already. You need to rest
as much as you can for the next round.
[14:22] Joe
I'm not getting up if I sit down.
[14:25] Joe
More importantly, Sachio...
[14:28] Joe
His Gear can learn attack patterns,
even if I've only used them once, right?
[14:33] Sachio
Yeah. So nothing will work a second time.
[14:36] Nanbu
What're you getting at?
[14:38] Joe
You saw, didn't you?
[14:42] Joe
He was going for a straight, but pulled back.
[14:45] Sachio
I get it!
[14:46] Sachio
The Gear changed its plan, because it
thought you were up to something!
[14:51] Sachio
That's why he didn't go after you!
[14:53] Nanbu
Then the reason you dropped your guard...
[14:55] Joe
I was bluffing.
[14:58] Nanbu
Well, that's a hell of a thing
to do at a time like this.
[15:02] Nanbu
So now you're counting on when he sees
through that, and comes in to finish you?
[15:07] Nanbu
You're gonna hit him with a counter.
[15:09] Joe
Yeah.
[15:10] Joe
I'll put him down with one shot.
[15:16] Mikio
If I had disabled automatic
control, I could've beat him.
[15:20] Mikio
Did Ace make the wrong decision?
[15:23] Mikio
Am I doubting myself?
[15:26] Crew
Synchronization is at 80% and steady.
[15:29] Crew
The numbers have stabilized,
but "Gearless" Joe is on his last legs.
[15:33] Crew
You should be fine even if
you disable Ace's automatic—
[15:36] Mikio
What the hell do you people know?
[15:39] Mikio
Ace's decisions are mine!
[15:42] Mikio
Do you have a problem with that?!
[15:44] Crew
N-No, sir.
[15:46] Mikio
It doesn't matter what he's planning to do.
[15:49] Mikio
It ends here.
[15:53] ANN
"Gearless" Joe seems to be
helpless against the ultimate Gear!
[15:57] ANN
He still hasn't brought his guard up!
[15:59] ANN
Is he too exhausted to go on?
[16:01] ANN
Will this be the round that decides it all?
[16:04] (Flashback) Joe
I can't see a damn thing
out of this eye anymore.
[16:08] (Flashback) Joe
You make the call on what
he'll use for his last shot.
[16:14] (Flashback) Nanbu
You're betting on me? You must
really be desperate.
[16:20] (Flashback) Joe
Still, I feel like betting on you.
[16:24] Nanbu
Right or left...
[16:28] Nanbu
We've been through this before.
[16:30] Nanbu
Back then...
[16:32] Nanbu
We were betting on him,
injuries and all, and his lack of Gear.
[16:35] Nanbu
If Mikio's got the ultimate Gear...
[16:39] Nanbu
Then we've got the ultimate Gearless.
[16:45] Nanbu
His finishing blow is gonna be...
[16:51] Nanbu
The same as before: a right straight!
[16:54] Nanbu
Intercept with a left!
[16:58] Mikio
Is this what Ace wants?
[17:03] Mikio
Or is it me?!
[17:14] Nanbu
He saw it coming!
[17:16] Yuri
Too late.
[17:37] Ref
He's down!
[17:45] Yagunuma
Yes!
[17:50] Count
Five... Six...
[17:52] Count
Seven... Eight... Nine...
[17:55] Count
Ten.
[17:57] Ref
With a K.O. 2:16 into the fourth round,
[18:01] Ref
the winner is "Gearless" Joe!
[18:08] Kids
He won! He won!
[18:08] ANN
Unbelievable!
[18:10] ANN
"Gearless" Joe makes an epic comeback!
[18:13] ANN
A single blow thrown from the badly hurt Joe
[18:16] ANN
was enough to sink Shirato into the canvass!
[18:19] ANN
We have witnessed a miracle!
[18:20] ANN
The man from the bottom of the ranking
has risen all the way to become the Final One!
[18:24] Crowd
Joe! Joe! Joe!
[18:25] ANN
The last competitor in Megalonia
[18:27] ANN
is going to be "Gearless" Joe!
[18:30] Crowd
Joe! Joe! Joe!
[18:36] Nanbu
Hey.
[18:38] Nanbu
That's your name they're chanting.
[18:42] Mikio
How?
[18:49] Mikio
How'd you know what my
last punch was going to be?
[18:53] Joe
It's not like I thought about it.
[18:55] Joe
My body just reacted.
[18:59] Joe
Yours did the same, didn't it?
[19:10] Mikio
You win.
[19:17] Shirato
What would've happened if I had
declined the position of successor?
[19:22] Yuri
That's a conceited line of thought.
[19:24] Yuri
He chose to follow his own path,
in spite of the isolation it brought him.
[19:29] Yuri
He fought to the very end, did it his way,
[19:33] Yuri
and proved his worth.
[19:36] Yuri
Are you having regrets?
[19:38] Yuri
About arranging this match?
[19:41] Shirato
There's only one ultimate Gear.
You'll be the one to prove that.
[19:46] Shirato
No matter who else enters the ring
at Megalonia, that won't change.
[19:53] Joe
Hey, champion.
[19:59] Joe
Here I am, as promised, in your ring.
[20:07] Yuri
I don't brawl with stray dogs...
[20:10] Yuri
You know that, don't you, Joe?
[20:21] Yuri
A wild animal that won't let go
once it sinks its teeth into you.
[20:40] Mikio
And the loser leaves with nothing, huh?
[20:51] Party
I was really touched by today's fight, man!
[20:53] Party
I thought today was going to
just be the same shit, different day.
[20:56] Party
But you guys... you're our pride!
[20:59] Nanbu
You said that already.
[21:01] Party
Come on, how about marrying my daughter?
[21:04] Nanbu
Marry? Me?
[21:06] Party
I'm talking about Joe, of course!
[21:09] Party
Granted, the bun's still in the oven...
Guess she's shy, am I right?
[21:12] Nanbu
She's not even born yet, man.
[21:16] Nanbu
Damn.
[21:17] Nanbu
Everybody wants to get in on
the party while the getting's good...
[21:19] Oicho
You're eating too much, Bonjiri!
[21:21] Nanbu
Hey, Sachio!
[21:23] Nanbu
That goes for you guys, too.
The party isn't gonna last forever!
[21:25] Sachio
Aw, pipe down!
[21:26] Sachio
I remember how you guessed
wrong about that last punch.
[21:30] Sachio
I wouldn't gamble again if I were you!
[21:33] Kids
Yeah, tell him!
[21:36] Party
Whatever! Let's toast to getting into Megalonia!
[21:40] Joe
Damn... are they gonna let me sleep or not?
[21:44] Joe
Ow!
[21:48] Joe
Damn, that hurts...
[21:51] Sachio
You running now, Pops?!
[21:53] Nanbu
Just taking a piss.
[22:07] Nanbu
Sorry about that.
[22:08] Nanbu
I haven't told Joe and the boy yet...
[22:11] Nanbu
Can I ask you to leave for today, Mr. Fujimaki?
[22:19] Fuji
You aren't the only one...
[22:21] Fuji
Scorpions who wanna close
their eyes to their true nature,
[22:23] Fuji
poisoned by the venom of dreams.
[22:32] Fuji
Sorry, Mr. Nanbu,
[22:35] Fuji
but the ride stops here.

Sorry, Mr. Nanbu, but the ride stops here.
[00:18] Nanbu
At least for today—
[00:19] Fuji
You're gonna tell him everything.
[00:25] Joe
Talk about impatient.
Already here for the prize money?
[00:29] Nanbu
J-Joe...
[00:35] Joe
Damn it, there's blood in my piss again.
[00:44] Nanbu
Joe... the truth is...
[00:45] Joe
Just tell him, Pops.
[00:47] Joe
It's too early to celebrate, isn't it?
[00:50] Joe
The real fight starts—
[00:52] Nanbu
The real fight isn't happening!
[02:43] (Flashback) Nanbu
I've been risking my life on
bluffs for a long damn time now!
[02:47] (Flashback) Nanbu
I'll show you exactly what we frauds can do!
[02:56] (Flashback) Fuji
Not gonna cut it.
[02:58] (Flashback) Fuji
I don't want to hear this
desperate talk of dreams.
[03:02] (Flashback) Fuji
I want a real answer, from the real you.
[03:05] (Flashback) Fuji
The two of you are going to Megalonia.
[03:07] (Flashback) Fuji
But not for the championship.
[03:11] (Flashback) Fuji
What can you and the kid do?
What would be the best thing to do?
[03:16] (Flashback) Fuji
Tell me what comes to mind, Mr. Nanbu.
[03:33] Fuji
"But you'll sting me, won't you?"
[03:36] Fuji
"I would never do that."
[03:38] Fuji
"Because if you die halfway across, I'll drown."
[03:46] Nanbu
So I told him...
[03:49] Nanbu
We could throw a fight at Megalonia.
The biggest fixed match ever.
[03:54] Nanbu
And our only chance is your
opener—the one against Burroughs.
[03:59] Nanbu
Fujimaki is gonna be running the bets
for Megalonia. That's tons of cash.
[04:03] Nanbu
There's no other way for us to be free from—
[04:05] Joe
You never believed in me, did you?
[04:08] Nanbu
That's not it!
[04:10] Nanbu
The more you won, the more
I started to think you had a shot!
[04:14] Nanbu
But... it's too late now.
SIGN Team Nowhere
[04:17] Nanbu
I didn't have any other
way of getting that fake ID!
[04:22] Nanbu
Joe, I guarantee that you've got real skill.
[04:26] Nanbu
And this isn't the end!
[04:28] Nanbu
Just think of it like a detour. All right?
[04:32] Nanbu
So in the next match, you can put this on...
[04:36] Joe
You asshole!
[04:40] Nanbu
Ow...
[04:42] Nanbu
Look, you gotta face facts, Joe.
[04:45] Nanbu
Fujimaki's not the kind
of guy we can reason with!
[04:48] Nanbu
I did all this because I didn't
want you to end up—
[04:51] Joe
You were only worried about yourself.
[04:53] Nanbu
You little prick!
[04:54] Nanbu
Where do you get off?!
[04:56] Nanbu
Who do you think made it possible
for a stray dog like you to get this far?!
[05:00] Nanbu
Frauds like you and me...
[05:02] Nanbu
We can't become the real deal,
even if we die trying!
[05:07] Joe
That's just like you.
[05:09] Joe
You don't have a real bone in your body.
[05:12] Joe
Everything about you is hot air.
[05:14] Nanbu
No!
[05:15] Joe
I was stupid for ever thinking otherwise.
[05:18] Nanbu
Wait, Joe! We're not done talking!
[05:21] Joe
We're done. Period.
[05:29] Sachio
Tell me it's a lie, Pops!
[05:31] Sachio
I thought we were a team!
[05:33] Sachio
We made it so far...
[05:35] Sachio
We were gonna go all the way in Megalonia.
[05:40] Sachio
Say something, damn it!
[05:41] Nanbu
Shut up!
[05:42] Nanbu
There's a time for dreaming,
and this isn't it, you stupid brat!
[05:58] Fuji
That's the thing about sweet dreams...
It always hurts when you wake up.
[06:03] Fuji
This is what it all comes down to.
[06:06] Fuji
If you don't deliver on our deal, Mr. Nanbu,
[06:08] Fuji
you won't be the only one dying.
[06:11] Fuji
They both will, too.
[06:42] Spider
Yuri is truly a grand champion.
[06:45] Spider
The thought of seeing him laid
out in the ring makes me sad,
[06:49] Spider
but some things can't be avoided.

The stronger fighter wins. That's Megalo Box.
[06:55] Press
And now a word from Mr. Burroughs.
[06:59] Burroughs
Somebody put a collar and drag him
[07:01] Burroughs
to the stadium on the day of the match.
[07:04] Press
Now, the second match of Megalonia
[07:07] Press
is going to be Burroughs versus "Gearless" Joe,
[07:10] Press
and as you can see, they haven't
attended today's press conference,
[07:12] Director
There's been no word from Team Nowhere.
[07:13] Press
and haven't offered a reason why.
[07:15] Press
We just hope there's no trouble.
[07:18] Press
And now, a question for the champion...
[07:20] Press
You've been the favorite to win the
tournament since its announcement...
[07:22] Abuhachi
It's like something out of a dream, huh?
[07:25] Abuhachi
Can you believe I was working
on that piece of crap Gear
[07:27] Abuhachi
you were using only three months ago?
[07:29] Abuhachi
And now, look at you...
[07:39] Abuhachi
I didn't think I'd ever see you
here again, to be honest.
[07:43] Abuhachi
Did you get lost or something?
[07:46] Joe
Yeah.
[07:58] Nanbu
I was worried, damn it.
[08:00] Nanbu
Come on, get up. We're going for a ride.
[08:05] Nanbu
Don't be a stubborn little ass.
[08:07] Nanbu
You want Fujimaki to make you into soup?
[08:10] Sachio
Joe said it was all over!
[08:13] Sachio
So much for going all the way.
[08:14] Sachio
You used him.
[08:16] Nanbu
And so did you.
[08:18] Sachio
Give that back!
[08:20] Nanbu
You thought Joe entering
Megalonia and winning it
[08:23] Nanbu
would be revenge for your old man, didn't you?
[08:27] Sachio
H-How do you...
[08:29] Nanbu
You remember Mizuhara, right?
[08:32] Nanbu
Something about the way he
looked at you caught my attention.
[08:37] (Flashback) Nanbu
Do you know the boy?
[08:40] (Flashback) Mizuhara
Well, a guy I worked with at Shirato
used to show me pictures of his kid.
[08:44] (Flashback) Mizuhara
Bragging about his son.
[08:47] (Flashback) Nanbu
What was this guy like?
[08:51] (Flashback) Mizuhara
A freelance engineer, like me.
[08:55] (Flashback) Mizuhara
I guess he was too talented. Poor guy...
[08:58] (Flashback) Mizuhara
Shirato stole the research data
he had spent years working on.
[09:03] (Flashback) Nanbu
What happened to him?
[09:08] (Flashback) Mizuhara
He's dead now.
[09:11] (Flashback) Mizuhara
Leaving his wife and kid behind...
[09:14] Sachio
Yeah. It's true.
[09:17] Sachio
My Dad... was killed by Shirato.
[09:21] Nanbu
What about your mother?
[09:23] Sachio
Got sick. Died a year later.
[09:26] Sachio
I can't do anything, but I bet Joe could...
[09:30] Sachio
He could beat those jerks at Shirato!
[09:34] Sachio
But now... because of you...
[09:39] Sachio
Where are you going?!
[09:41] Sachio
Don't run from me!
[09:55] Sachio
Is this...
[09:58] Nanbu
Go get your revenge.
[10:02] Nanbu
See, you and me...
[10:04] Nanbu
we just happened to get on
the same boat, chasing our own goals.
[10:08] Nanbu
That's why neither Joe nor I ever asked
you about why you joined up with us.
[10:14] Nanbu
But that's not how it is anymore.
[10:23] Nanbu
You wanna take Shirato down, right?
[10:26] Nanbu
This is all I can do for you.
[10:29] Nanbu
The rest is up to you.
[10:54] Sachio
My revenge... is going to the top with Joe.
[11:00] Nanbu
We both bet on Joe.
[11:03] Nanbu
But the thing is...
SIGN Team Nowhere
[11:04] Nanbu
He's the one who decides
how this will play out.
[11:10] Nanbu
And there's no telling what
the kid will do until it happens.
[11:17] Sachio
"Gearless" Joe would never throw a match.
[11:20] Nanbu
Then you need to hide.
[11:23] Nanbu
I doubt even Fujimaki has enough
muscle to mess with Shirato.
[11:29] Nanbu
This is for Joe's sake, too.
[11:33] Shirato
Forcing a stop to the ceremony,
being absent at the press conference...
[11:37] Shirato
And now you want me to take care of a child?
[11:40] Shirato
You certainly do as you please, don't you?
[11:43] Nanbu
I just explained the boy's deal.
[11:45] Nanbu
You'll be able to learn
the facts if you look into it.
[11:48] Nanbu
I figure you at least owe him a helping hand.
[11:54] Nanbu
Even if it's only until Joe's match is over.
[11:57] Shirato
I am not happy that the two
of you are in Megalonia.
[12:02] Shirato
I'm not sure what exactly you're planning here,
[12:06] Shirato
but did it never occur to you that I would
demand Joe's withdrawal from the tournament
[12:10] Shirato
in exchange for taking
the child into my custody?
[12:15] Nanbu
You wouldn't do that.
[12:18] Nanbu
Although...
[12:20] Nanbu
That doesn't sound half bad either.
[12:30] Nanbu
This is the last you'll hear from me.
[12:35] Nanbu
You take this.
[12:38] Nanbu
Look after Joe, Sachio!
[12:45] Sachio
What about you?
[12:47] Nanbu
Bye, kid.

The implacable champion, Yuri!

Sporting the integrated Gear that

it's become as integrated with this brilliant
boxer's body as the name suggests,
[15:41] Commentary
allowing him to fend off every
claim on his title so far!

The integrated Gear was developed

Ma'am?

Understood.

Go, Yuri!

Pepe! Mátalo!
[16:22] Commentary
The match begins, and
Pepe presses aggressively forward!
[16:26] Color
He's got that long reach, and a posture
that makes it hard to get inside...
[16:31] Color
Combine that with the variety
of attacks that he can pull off,
[16:34] Color
and over time, his opponents find
they're unable to fight back effectively,
[16:37] Color
like they're caught in a spider's web.
[16:40] Color
That's how he got the nickname, Spider.

deal with Pepe's unique style?

And that's the end of the first round!

Most likely, one of these men will be
going on the offensive in the next round.

With a K.O. 2:10 into the 2nd round,

the winner is Yuri with Team Shirato!
[18:51] Joe
Hey there, boy.
[18:52] Joe
Where'd you come from?
[19:08] Joe
So he's yours?
[19:10] Yuri
Yeah.
[19:11] Yuri
It's odd, though.
He usually doesn't like strangers.
[19:15] Joe
That was a hell of a hook, man.
[19:17] Joe
I actually felt bad for Pepe
when it landed full on.
[19:22] Yuri
When you get in the ring, you either
win or lose. There's nothing else to it.
[19:27] Yuri
Everyone's equal.
[19:33] Yuri
Why don't you use Gear?
[19:36] Yuri
Why insist on fighting without it?
[19:40] Joe
At first, it was just a bluff
to get my name out there...
[19:44] Joe
But now, it's something else.
[19:50] Joe
Every time I get in the ring,
I'm betting my life on my fists.
[19:54] Joe
It's scary as hell, but it's so
much fun I can barely stand it.
[20:02] Joe
I wanna have a real match
against you, pure and simple.
[20:07] Joe
I get the feeling that, against you,
I can go further than I've ever gone before.
[20:12] Joe
What about you?
What're you fighting for?
[20:18] Shirato
A dream.
[20:21] Shirato
Someone believed in me when I was
nothing, and brought me this far...
[20:25] Shirato
I want to make her dream come true.
[20:27] Shirato
That's why I do it.

[20:40] Nanbu
Sweet dreams, huh?
[20:45] Fuji
Did you discuss things with your partner?
[20:48] Nanbu
You bet.
[20:50] Nanbu
The thought of finally being
out from underneath this debt...
[20:53] Nanbu
Just had to have a celebratory drink, y'know?
[20:55] Fuji
You really are a scorpion.
[21:02] Fuji
Have you ever heard that story?
[21:04] Fuji
The one about a scorpion
who wants to cross a river.
[21:10] Fuji
But scorpions can't swim.
[21:13] Fuji
So the scorpion asks a frog
that happens to be by the river
[21:16] Fuji
if he'd give him a ride on his
back, so he can get across.
[21:21] Fuji
The frog asks him:
"But you'll sting me, won't you?"
[21:26] Fuji
The scorpion responds: "I would never do that."
[21:29] Fuji
"Because if you die halfway across, I'll drown."
[21:35] Fuji
The frog is convinced, and kindly
lets the scorpion onto his back,
[21:40] Fuji
and starts to cross the river.
[21:43] Fuji
But on the way, the scorpion stings the frog.
[21:47] Fuji
As he's losing consciousness, the frog says:
[21:51] Fuji
"You told me you wouldn't sting me."
[21:54] Fuji
And the scorpion tells him...
[21:58] Nanbu
"I couldn't help it."
[22:00] Nanbu
"It's in a scorpion's nature."
[22:10] Abu
Your partner came by last night.
[22:14] Abu
He said to give this to you if you show up.

Thank you.

Just paying you back

I don't wanna owe you anything.

You're doing it for him, then?

The sight of him standing

Hey, Joe...
[05:11] (Flashback) Sachio
What do you do when you're scared?
[05:15] (Flashback) Sachio
Like, when you're afraid to make
a move... and you freeze up.
[05:20] (Flashback) Sachio
I want to be able to fight on my own, too.
[05:26] (Flashback) Joe
Touch something that's around you.
Doesn't matter what it is.
[05:31] (Flashback) Joe
It helps put you in the moment.
[05:34] (Flashback) Joe
Reminds you what you need to do.
[05:39] (Flashback) Joe
That's a trick I learned a long time ago.

Unfortunately for them, he's going
down in his first match of the tourney.

You'll wanna wrap it up in the
third round, with a minute to go.

Have him make it look good until then.

This water's got a hardness of over 600 ppm.

Hey... is that...?

What's going on?
[07:51] Crowd
You gotta be kidding me!
[07:54] Comm
We've got an interesting turn here, folks!
[07:58] Comm
An inconceivable twist for
the world of Megalo Boxing,
[08:00] Comm
the man whose ring name has always
called him "Gearless" Joe...
[08:04] Comm
is equipped with Gear!
[08:07] Color
It could be a strategy to cope with the power
disadvantage he has compared to Burroughs.
[08:11] Comm
Indeed.
[08:12] Comm
Plus, it seems that this time,
Joe will be fighting alone,
[08:15] Comm
with no one in his corner.
[08:20] Fujimaki
Looks like you've got him
trained well, Mr. Nanbu.
[08:27] Nanbu
I'm not gonna ask you to forgive me.
[08:30] Nanbu
Hell, I don't even deserve it.
[08:35] Nanbu
You probably don't even wanna hear my voice...
[08:38] Nanbu
But I'm counting on you.
[08:40] Nanbu
It happens in the third round.
[08:43] Nanbu
You've gotta hold out until then.
[08:46] Glen
It's such an honor. Putting on that Gear for me...
[08:49] Glen
You chicken.
[08:51] Glen
I will smash you into junk,
together with your sleazy Gear.
[09:00] Shirato
To think he'd wear Gear
to the ring, after all this time...
[09:05] Yuri
Why?
[09:08] Crowd
Check it out. He's got Gear on.
[09:10] Crowd
So he's just big talk?

Now's not the time to chicken out!
[09:14] Santa
Sachio!
[09:16] Santa
What the hell's going on, man?
[09:18] Oicho
Big Joe's got Gear on,
[09:20] Oicho
and we couldn't find you or Pops!
[09:22] Bonjiri
We have no idea what's going on!
[09:25] Santa
Sachio!
[09:28] Sachio
I'm done.
[09:33] Oicho
Sachio?
[09:40] Nanbu
Don't poke at him too much!
He's just gonna come after you!
[09:50] Nanbu
He relies too much on his power,
so he never steps in deep enough.
[09:53] Nanbu
Use your legs. Get around him.
[09:59] Nanbu
I said use those legs! He's gonna
smash your Gear otherwise!
[10:02] Nanbu
Damn it!
[10:05] Sachio
Who cares about "Gearless" Joe?
[10:07] Sachio
Who cares about going all the way?!
[10:09] Sachio
It was all just a scam!
[10:17] Nanbu
Watch it! He's gonna come at you hard now!
[10:27] Comm
And that's the end of the first round!
[10:30] Comm
I have to say,
[10:32] Comm
despite a better showing, Burroughs was
looking a bit anxious out there.
[10:36] Color
That's exactly right.
[10:37] Color
Joe has the boxing sense
to keep him in the game,
[10:40] Color
and the strength to turn a
match around with one hit.
[10:44] Thug 1
That little shit better not be trying to win.
[10:48] Thug 1
You sure he's even listening to you?
[10:51] Nanbu
If Joe was trying to beat him,
[10:53] Nanbu
he would've nailed him with that uppercut
he launched after the body blow.
[10:57] Nanbu
Listening to me isn't the point.
[11:00] Nanbu
He's doing the job.
[11:04] Nanbu
I doubt you guys can see that, though.
[11:07] Thug 2
You better watch that mouth, asshole!
[11:09] Fujimaki
It's a hell of a performance.
[11:12] Fujimaki
First he misses on purpose,
[11:14] Fujimaki
and then, he's only slightly off mark...
[11:17] Fujimaki
No one will realize he's throwing the match.
[11:21] Fujimaki
You've been giving him instructions
to help him avoid getting hurt,
[11:25] Fujimaki
but he's been defying that,
and taking punches on purpose.
[11:30] Fujimaki
A measure of defiance from a stray dog...
[11:33] Fujimaki
I guess he's telling you he
doesn't accept your counsel.
[11:45] (Flashback) Joe
I wanna have a real match
against you, pure and simple.
[11:50] (Flashback) Joe
I get the feeling that, against you,
[11:51] (Flashback) Joe
I can go further than I've ever gone before.
[12:07] Comm
It's now the second round,
[12:08] Comm
and Burroughs seems to be
throwing fewer punches...
[12:12] Color
He's likely being cautious.
[12:13] Color
Joe's shown a knack for
throwing counterpunches.
[12:20] Nanbu
Don't, Joe! You've gotta
keep it going past this round!
[12:26] Nanbu
Do you hear me?!
[12:27] Nanbu
Just listen to me for once, damn it!
[12:30] Nanbu
You're not gonna last if you keep this up!
[12:41] Nanbu
Block, then move to the side!
[12:47] Nanbu
There you go, that's it!
[12:49] Nanbu
He can't keep up with you!
[12:52] Nanbu
Nail him in the body after he
throws a punch to slow him down,
[12:54] Nanbu
then send a long hook in over his shoulder!
[13:01] Nanbu
Hell yeah!
[13:08] Comm
From the previous rounds, it seems
that Joe would've put up a good fight
[13:11] Comm
even without putting any Gear on...
[13:14] Color
Well, since there's no one acting as his second,
[13:16] Color
we might be seeing the result of a
difference in opinion about how he should fight.
[13:21] Fujimaki
A lot's changed since the underground days, hasn't it?
[13:24] Nanbu
Burroughs is strong.
[13:26] Nanbu
He earned that third place ranking.
[13:28] Nanbu
But Joe... if he fought for real...
[13:31] Fujimaki
I'm talking about you.
[13:33] Fujimaki
You're acting like a real trainer.
[13:36] Thug
Mr. Fujimaki, most of the bets
are coming in for Joe.
[13:39] Thug
The odds have gone up again.
[13:41] Fujimaki
So far, so good.
[13:48] Sachio
We were supposed to be a team...
[13:50] Sachio
But in the end, everyone only
cares about themselves.
[13:57] Sachio
And that's the same for me!
[14:00] Sachio
I was just using Joe to get revenge.
[14:06] Sachio
But...
[14:17] Sachio
Everyone's only looking out for number one,
[14:20] Sachio
so why stop now? You're still not done.
[14:23] Sachio
No metal on your back
so they call you gearless,
[14:25] Sachio
right now the way you act sure ain't fearless.
[14:28] Sachio
You're just playing at fighting, you don't care.
[14:31] Sachio
Did you really forget?
We all came from Nowhere.
[14:33] Sachio
I'm not some kid! My name is Sachio!
[14:36] Sachio
But for this trip? It's your call where we go.
[14:39] Sachio
You can't stop now, keep trying.
[14:41] Sachio
Don't even worry about Nanbu's lying.
[14:44] Sachio
If you're always gonna look at the past,
[14:47] Sachio
you might as well grow a pair of eyes on your ass.
[14:49] Sachio
Wanted us three to go to the top.
[14:52] Sachio
Don't care about the payback. I chose to stop.
[14:55] Sachio
Take the title, win a square fight.
[14:57] Sachio
You gotta get past this... It's only right.
[15:05] Nanbu
You'll do it with one minute to go.
[15:08] Nanbu
You did great out there, Joe.
[15:10] Nanbu
Once this is over, you'll be free.
[15:13] Nanbu
You won't have to put up
with this shit anymore.
[15:17] Fujimaki
You seem to have the
wrong idea here, Mr. Nanbu.
[15:23] Fujimaki
You two have done a good job so far...
[15:28] Fujimaki
And that's impressive.
[15:30] Fujimaki
But... did you really think
this would change anything?
[15:34] Fujimaki
I told you already...
you can't change your nature.
[15:39] Fujimaki
A scorpion's a scorpion,
and a stray dog remains a stray.
[15:42] Fujimaki
He'll be fighting for the
rest of his life... in my ring.
[15:48] Nanbu
No...

It's over.

For the first time in my life...
I think I understand what jealousy is like.

"Gearless" Joe... he's the real deal.

Pops!

[03:15] Shirato
I absolutely will not allow this.
[03:20] Shirato
If you won't listen to reason,
[03:22] Shirato
then I can have the finals canceled!
[03:24] Yuri
No!
[03:27] Yuri
Joe... he risked his life
to fight his way to me.
[03:34] Yuri
It has to be in the ring at Megalonia.
[03:41] Yuri
I won't be coming back to this office.
[03:45] Yuri
I just wanted to let you know.
[03:50] Shirato
What about our dream?
[03:53] Yuri
From now on, it's your dream.
[04:08] Sachio
Ease off a little, Joe.
[04:11] Sachio
You've been going non-stop since the morning.
[04:18] Joe
Not yet.
[04:20] Joe
I still need to do more.
[04:22] Sachio
Is what happened to Pops bothering you?
[04:28] Joe
It's not that.
[04:30] Joe
I finally get to fight Yuri.
[04:33] Joe
You seriously expect me not to get pumped up?
[04:36] Aragaki
Good to see you haven't changed, Joe.
[04:39] Sachio
You two... Why...?
[04:43] Nanbu
I called them over.
[04:46] Nanbu
Joe, knowing you, if someone doesn't stop you,
[04:50] Nanbu
you're gonna punch the bag
until you wear a hole in it.
[04:54] Nanbu
So I asked Mr. Miyagi here
if we could borrow Aragaki.
[04:59] Nanbu
He's gonna be your sparring partner.
[05:04] Aragaki
Or do you think I'm not up to it?
[05:06] Joe
Well, you're bound to put up more
of a fight than a punching bag.
[05:09] Joe
Let's get started!
[05:12] Sachio
Go, Joe!
[05:15] Joe
Are your legs gonna be okay?
[05:17] Aragaki
Yeah. Don't worry about it.
[05:20] Joe
Good to hear.
[05:23] Joe
I've always regretted not
knocking you out, y'know.
[05:27] Aragaki
I feel the same way.
[05:29] Miyagi
Hey, stay cool in there!
[05:32] Miyagi
Don't forget, this is just sparring!
[05:34] Nanbu
That Joe...
[05:36] Nanbu
He's so happy to throw down with
someone, he gets beside himself.
[05:40] Miyagi
Aragaki's the same way.
[05:42] Miyagi
He doesn't regret retiring,
[05:45] Miyagi
but when you rang us up,
he couldn't hide how happy he was.
[05:49] Nanbu
I appreciate this, Mr. Miyagi.
[05:52] Miyagi
I should be thanking you.
[05:55] Miyagi
We get to help you fight the champion.
[05:57] Nanbu
Can you believe it?
SIGN Team Nowhere
[06:00] Nanbu
Only three months ago,
[06:02] Nanbu
the kid and I were throwing
matches in an underground ring.
[06:07] Nanbu
And now... he's gonna be fighting the
damn champion in the Megalonia finals.
[06:12] Nanbu
Just goes to show, there's no telling
how tomorrow might turn out.
[06:17] Miyagi
You all paid plenty to get to where you are.
[06:20] Miyagi
Joe, Aragaki...
[06:22] Miyagi
and you, from the look of things.
[06:25] Nanbu
Losing an eye was a steal, considering.
[06:27] Nanbu
I got to meet the real deal.
[06:31] Nanbu
We can't let it end until we
take this as far as we can.
[06:33] Nanbu
It's that simple.
[06:47] Mikio
That was fast.
[07:02] Mikio
When I found this place, it was in ruins.
[07:06] Mikio
But now it's finally looking habitable.
[07:09] Mikio
Not much to it, but that's
probably what I need right now.
[07:13] Yuri
You've changed, Mikio.
[07:16] Mikio
I'm just getting back to my roots.
[07:20] Yuri
About what I asked for...
[07:25] Mikio
It's down here.
[07:32] Mikio
This is the bare minimum of what we'd need.
[07:36] Yuri
Let's get started right away.
[07:38] Mikio
Are you really sure about this?
[07:41] Mikio
The integrated Gear is
a part of your body now.
[07:46] Mikio
There's no guarantee that
it can be removed safely.
[07:49] Yuri
Worried that you might fail?
[07:52] Mikio
Not at all. I lost to Joe.
[07:56] Mikio
I fought with Gear, and still lost.
[08:00] Mikio
But you haven't.
[08:03] Mikio
Do you really need to go through with this?
[08:08] Yuri
You bet everything on developing Ace
so that you could fight me.
[08:14] Yuri
I'm going to take this off so I can fight Joe.
[08:18] Yuri
It's the same thing.
[08:51] (Flashback) Joe
How about you teach me, then?
[08:53] (Flashback) Joe
Not just two guys beating on each other.
[08:55] (Flashback) Joe
Show me what real Megalo Boxing is like.
[08:59] (Flashback) Yuri
As if a stray dog would ever understand.
[09:02] Shirato
Yuri!
[09:03] Shirato
Yuri—
[09:14] Mikio
The surgery went well.
[09:16] Mikio
His life isn't in any danger.
[09:19] Mikio
I know I'd ended my
relationship with Shirato...
[09:22] Mikio
but I still figured you should know.
[09:26] Mikio
You look like you want to ask
me why I didn't stop him.
[09:31] Mikio
You wanted Megalonia to demonstrate the
performance of the integrated Gear,
[09:37] Mikio
and get the contract you wanted,
under the terms you wanted.
[09:40] Mikio
Isn't that right?
[09:43] Mikio
Yuri did his job.
[09:45] Mikio
Why not let him do what he wants, now?
[09:49] Shirato
He's denying me.
[09:52] Shirato
He's turned his back on Gear... on the future.
[09:55] Shirato
All because of some ridiculous envy.
[09:59] Shirato
I'm going to cancel the finals.
[10:01] Shirato
The battle to determine the
greatest Megalo Boxer...
[10:04] Shirato
between two boxers with no Gear?
It's utter nonsense.
[10:08] Mikio
Once the anesthesia wears off,
he's going to go through hell.
[10:14] Mikio
It's your call to make, Yukiko.
[10:18] Mikio
But wasn't there more to it?
[10:22] Mikio
Didn't you see any more value in Megalo Box?
[10:32] Director
His ring name at the time was "Junk Dog."
[10:36] Director
Prior to the last three months,
he fought in an illegal fighting arena
[10:40] Director
located in the unauthorized zones,
for the sake of gambling.
[10:43] Director
It seems he was throwing matches
while partnered with Nanbu Gansaku.
[10:48] (Flashback) Nanbu
He brought up things in our past that
we can't let see the light of day.
[10:54] Director
The ID is counterfeit.
[10:57] Director
The name "Joe" is an alias.
[10:59] Director
We know nothing about his actual identity.
[11:05] Director
The only thing clear about
him is that he has no legitimate ID,
[11:08] Director
making him an illegal citizen.
[11:09] Director
He's a sham boxer, with no right
to partake in sanctioned matches.
[11:16] Shirato
Still...
[11:17] Shirato
He defeated my brother.
[11:19] Shirato
And Burroughs...
[11:20] Shirato
Along with Aragaki.
[11:22] (Flashback) Yuri
"Gearless" Joe... he's the real deal.
[11:26] Director
These findings are enough
justification to cancel the finals.
[11:31] Director
There'd be no adverse effect on the contract.
[11:35] Shirato
I don't know what to do.
[11:38] Shirato
Why would they go to such lengths...
[11:41] Shirato
simply to beat on each other?
[11:43] Director
President?
[11:45] Shirato
I need time to consider this.
[11:47] Shirato
Keep all of this confidential
in the meantime.
[11:50] Director
But...
[12:34] (Flashback) Nanbu
That was a hell of a fight!
[12:36] (Flashback) Nanbu
A little rough around the edges,
but you've got a knack for it.
[12:38] (Flashback) Nanbu
H-Hey!
[12:39] (Flashback) Nanbu
Come on, hold up...
[12:41] (Flashback) Nanbu
Hey, bro! C'mon, bro.
[12:44] (Flashback) Joe
Shut up, man. Pretty sure I don't
have any brothers like you.
[12:48] (Flashback) Nanbu
What's your name, pal?
[12:50] (Flashback) Joe
Don't got one.
[12:51] (Flashback) Joe
Now buzz off, pops.
[12:54] (Flashback) Nanbu
Now, hang on a sec!
[12:57] (Flashback) Nanbu
I know a way to make better cash!
[13:02] (Flashback) Nanbu
Why don't you let me take care of you?
[13:09] Nanbu
Joe!
[13:11] Nanbu
That's not good enough.
You're not stepping in right.
[13:18] Santa
How can you tell?
[13:19] Oicho
You can't see...
[13:21] Nanbu
The sound.
[13:22] Nanbu
If his punches were sharp,
[13:24] Nanbu
they wouldn't sound like
a cow cutting the cheese.
[13:27] Nanbu
I keep telling you, you gotta
distribute your weight evenly!
[13:32] Nanbu
If you think you can slack off just because
I can't see you, I'm gonna beat your ass!
[13:44] Joe
How was that, Pops?
[13:46] Nanbu
Not bad at all.
[13:54] Sachio
See here?
[13:55] Aragaki
This is quite a team you have.
[13:58] Nanbu
Yeah, it really is.
[14:01] Aragaki
And he's amazing.
[14:04] Aragaki
He might actually be able to beat Yuri.
[14:10] Nanbu
Maybe he's been taking care of me all along.
[15:01] Yuri
Who?
[15:22] Mikio
He's been like this for five days.
[15:27] Shirato
Isn't there anything we can do for him?
[15:31] Shirato
But... if we don't do something...
[15:42] Mikio
This will make the pain go away.
[15:45] Mikio
But...
[15:47] Mikio
He told me, "If I let the pain get to me,
then I don't deserve to fight him."
[15:52] Mikio
He turned me down when I brought it up.
[15:54] Mikio
But maybe you can convince
him otherwise, Yukiko.
[16:14] Shirato
Let's go home, Yuri.
[16:19] Shirato
You can't fight in this condition.
[16:22] Shirato
We'll re-attach your Gear,
and you can stand proud again.
[16:27] Shirato
You're Shirato's...
[16:30] Shirato
You're my future.
[16:37] Yuri
I dreamed of the old days...
[16:42] Yuri
Long before I met you.
[16:46] Yuri
The man who taught me
Megalo Boxing told me something...
[16:52] Yuri
"If you're lucky enough to run
into a fighter in your generation
[16:55] Yuri
who you want to win against,
from the bottom of your heart,
[16:59] Yuri
consider yourself blessed."
[17:01] Yuri
"If you ever find someone like that,
[17:05] Yuri
never let him out of your sight."
[17:10] Yuri
I've finally met the opponent
he was talking about.
[17:15] Yuri
Yukiko...
[17:17] Yuri
you gave me a reason to live.
[17:22] Yuri
Please... don't take it away now.
[18:05] (Flashback) Trainer
He's in great shape.
[18:06] (Flashback) Trainer
I doubt there's a fighter who can
take his right and continue standing.
[18:13] (Flashback) Trainer
Yuri!
[18:18] (Flashback) Granps
Sorry to interrupt your training.
[18:20] (Flashback) Yuri
It's all right, Mr. President.
[18:21] (Flashback) Gramps
I wanted to introduce you
to my granddaughter, Yukiko.
[18:26] (Flashback) Shirato
It's nice to meet you.
[18:29] (Flashback) Yuri
My hands are a bit sweaty, so...
[18:38] (Flashback) Gramps
The two of you are the future of Shirato.
[18:53] Mikio
I guess we both underestimated him.
[18:59] Mikio
Yukiko?
[19:00] Shirato
I have no business with a gearless boxer.
[19:04] Shirato
Just like you...
[19:06] Shirato
He's no longer a member of Shirato.
[19:12] Shirato
Goodbye, Brother.
[19:21] Joe
Yahoo!
[19:27] Sachio
You sure you don't need to train?
[19:30] Joe
I'm gonna be fighting Yuri.
[19:31] Joe
A bunch of last-minute squirming
isn't gonna get me anywhere.
[19:36] Joe
You should hop in here, Sachio.
[19:38] Sachio
Nah, I'm fine...
[19:41] Joe
You can't swim, huh?
[19:44] Sachio
Yeah, I can!
[19:46] Sachio
Damn it, just you watch.
[19:52] Joe
I heard you looked after my pal here.
[19:55] Joe
I never got the chance to thank you.
[19:59] Shirato
He dropped this.
[20:02] Sachio
Huh?!
[20:03] Sachio
It's gone! I don't have it!
[20:05] Joe
Knowing you, you looked into it, didn't you?
[20:08] Shirato
Yes.
[20:10] Shirato
I know exactly who you are now.
[20:14] Joe
And?
[20:16] Shirato
And nothing.
[20:17] Shirato
This belongs to you, Joe.
[20:21] Joe
You sure?
[20:24] Joe
I'm gonna beat your champion, y'know.
[20:29] Shirato
Yuri has had his Gear removed.
[20:33] Sachio
Yuri did what?!
[20:34] Shirato
It was to fight you...
to fight against "Gearless" Joe.

Didn't you, Mr. Nanbu?
[09:39] Yuri
I'm going to get serious now.
[09:41] Joe
About damn time.
[09:57] Shirato
Gear technology represents
hope for the future.
[10:01] Shirato
Traditionally, the use of heavier
ordinance in combat
[10:06] Shirato
requires multiple soldiers,
[10:09] Shirato
but by equipping this integrated Gear,
[10:11] Shirato
missions can be carried out by
significantly smaller forces.
[10:16] Shirato
As you saw in the demonstration earlier,
[10:19] Shirato
the integrated Gear was designed
to be versatile enough to—
[10:23] Generals
Hypothetically...
[10:25] Generals
Would it be possible to attach weapons
directly to your integrated Gear?
[10:31] Generals
I won't deny that your tech is remarkable,
[10:34] Generals
but we have cost-performance to consider.
[10:40] Yuri
Gear isn't a weapon.
[10:42] Yuri
It is, fundamentally speaking, a way
to support the performance of its user.
[10:45] Generals
Yet, you've been showing us how
effective a weapon it is this whole time,
[10:51] Generals
using the champion.
[10:54] Yuri
Megalo Box isn't a death sport.
[10:57] Generals
Is that why you had him remove his Gear?
[11:00] Yuri
No. It was no longer
necessary for him to have it.
[11:06] Yuri
We consider this Gear to be an
addition to the human body.
[11:10] Yuri
The data that we gained from
testing it via Megalo Boxing
[11:13] Yuri
was only a first step in its development.
[11:16] Generals
And military application is the next
phase of development, is that it?
[11:21] Shirato
We may have certain
philosophical differences,
[11:24] Shirato
but I believe we can reach a
mutually beneficial partnership.
[11:46] Comm
As the intense battle continues,
[11:48] Comm
we have now hit the end of the seventh round.
[11:56] Sachio
Here.
[12:01] Sachio
We're fighting as a team.
[12:04] Sachio
But you're on your own—
[12:05] Yuri
That was my choice.
[12:08] Yuri
I don't need pity.
[12:09] Sachio
That's not what this is.
[12:11] Sachio
I'm doing it because I respect
that you're fighting alone.
[12:14] Sachio
Plus, I don't wanna hear
any excuses after he beats you!
[12:22] Yuri
In that case, I think I will.
[12:47] Yuri
I thought you were going to go
further than ever against me!
[12:52] Yuri
Don't disappoint me!
You haven't gotten there yet!
[13:00] Comm
Joe seems to have survived
the champion's savage rush,
[13:04] Comm
but he looked ready
to fall at any moment.
[13:08] Color
It might be a good thing to stop the fight.
[13:10] Color
Joe's fought well enough already.
[13:14] Sachio
Joe...
[13:25] Nanbu
Who are you?
[13:29] Nanbu
What, did you forget your own name?
[13:35] Nanbu
Who are you?
[13:39] (Flashback) Nanbu
It's your name. You pick it.
[13:45] Joe
Joe.
[13:48] Nanbu
That's right. You're Joe.
[13:51] Nanbu
The best Megalo Boxer there is.
[14:07] Crowd
Enough already!
[14:08] Crowd
Just give up and lie down!
[14:17] Nanbu
How's he doing?
[14:19] Sachio
He's holding out so far...
[14:21] Sachio
But he's on the ropes...
It looks like he's just dragging it out.
[14:25] Sachio
At this rate...
[14:26] Nanbu
Have you ever seen the kid back down?
[14:31] Sachio
I know, but...
[14:34] Nanbu
There's no reason for us to lose our way.
[14:38] Nanbu
He's been out there, in the dark,
making his way toward the light.
[14:47] Comm
We are now entering Round 13,
a first in Megalo Box history!
[14:53] Color
The champion looks like he's
still more than ready to go,
[14:56] Color
but Joe seems to be on his last legs.
[15:11] Joe
Thank you... Pops. Sachio.
[15:21] Color
Both fighters have been slugging
it out since the round began!
[15:25] Color
An astonishing sight to see
in the thirteenth round!
[15:32] Sachio
Joe's on the right,
and Yuri is coming from the left...
[15:34] Sachio
Wait, no, the right!
[15:36] Sachio
With two shots to the body, and then...
[15:38] Nanbu
That's enough, Sachio.
[15:41] Nanbu
Don't take your eyes
off of them from here on out.
[15:46] Nanbu
Burn the sight of them in the ring
into your memory.
[15:55] Nanbu
I can see it, Joe.
[15:57] Nanbu
It's like the two of you really are dancing.
[16:02] Joe
Yuri!
[16:04] Yuri
Joe!
SIGN Go! Big Joe! Go! Team Nowhere!
[16:42] Yuri
We really are lucky...
[16:44] Yuri
to have run into each other.
[17:17] Yuri
You're going, aren't you?
[17:19] Joe
Yeah.
[17:24] Joe
What am I doing right now?
[17:32] Joe
I'm living the best moment of my life.
[17:39] Generals
That woman scares me.
[17:42] Generals
She heard the news about the match
and didn't so much as blink.
[17:46] Generals
I suppose Megalonia and the champion
were both tools for her business.
[17:50] Generals
Once they lost that value, she lost interest.
[17:53] Generals
Makes me feel bad for him.
[18:11] Yuri
Whether you're a power player
who wears a weighty crown,
[18:14] Yuri
or some poor soul with barely
a pebble to his name...
[18:17] Yuri
Nobody can escape death.
[18:21] Yuri
But if you live your life so that,
when it comes, you're satisfied,
[18:27] Yuri
even if it's not the end you were hoping for,
[18:30] Yuri
you'll have no reason to fear death.
SIGN Gym Nowhere
[18:55] Nanbu
Well, I would like to thank everyone
for taking the time to come by today.
[19:01] Nanbu
The fact that we're now
able to hold such a celebration
[19:05] Nanbu
is not unlike a blessing
from the heavens itself...

[19:10] Nanbu
With that, I would like to
conclude my opening remarks.
[19:14] Nanbu
Thank you for your time.
[19:17] Santa
Nice speech, chief!
[19:20] Oicho
What're you practicing in secret for?
[19:23] Bonjiri
Pops, that's a carrot, not a mic...
[19:26] Nanbu
Shut it!
[19:27] Nanbu
You brats better be getting ready, too!
[19:29] Santa
You got it!
[19:30] Oicho
Bonjiri, you're eating again!
[19:32] Bonjiri
Well, there's a lot...
[19:36] Sachio
Go get it!
[19:41] Sachio
Okay, now we're gonna race for it.
[19:42] Sachio
Ready?
[19:43] Sachio
Go!
[19:45] Yuri
They turned out well.
[19:46] Sachio
I know, right?
[19:48] Sachio
I thought it was crazy when Pops
of all people started a garden.
[19:52] Sachio
Hey, you're not dry yet!
[19:55] Sachio
Man!
[19:59] Sachio
Pops said for you to come
by the party tonight, if you want.
[20:06] Sachio
And...
[20:07] Sachio
Miss Yukiko came by the other
day to congratulate us.
[20:11] Sachio
She left right away, though,
with her being so busy.
[20:13] Sachio
She seemed to be doing well.
[20:17] Yuri
I see.
[20:20] Yuri
It's already been a year...
[20:27] TV
In the year since Megalonia,
[20:29] TV
Shirato seems to have distanced
itself from its business as a promoter,
[20:33] TV
but last night, President Shirato
herself announced plans...
[20:36] TV
for a second Megalonia tournament.
[20:40] TV
The championship title has been
vacant in the year since the finals, but...
[20:46] Abu
Finally able to get her running
on your own, huh?
[20:52] Joe
More or less.
[20:56] Joe
Sorry for rushing you.
[20:58] Abu
Hell, I don't mind. Think of it as my gift.
[21:01] Joe
They're gonna be real happy.
[21:03] Joe
They can't seem to shut up about wanting
to get in the ring as soon as they can.
[21:08] Abu
And what about you? Are you done with the ring?
[21:15] Joe
You remember what you said to me?
[21:17] Joe
About having the faith to believe in yourself...
[21:20] Joe
And how living like that wouldn't be so bad?
[21:23] Abu
Yeah. But I also said this...
[21:26] Abu
Real boxers are probably guys like you.
[21:34] Joe
I only pulled it off because we're a team.
[21:36] Joe
I dunno what the future's gonna be like...
[21:39] Joe
But for now, I want to let that be known.
[21:43] Joe
I'll see you next time, then.
[21:45] Abu
All right.
[21:50] Abu
Gonna be another hot day...
[22:26] Joe
Whoa there!
[22:28] Joe
I guess I can do this, after all.
