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.

    Screw that!
[07:42] JD
    I already told you that I'm
    sick of throwing fights!
[07:45] Nanbu
    Why don't you tell me something, then?

    How's an illegal Megalo Boxer
    with no fame and no ID
[07:51] Nanbu

[07:58] Nanbu
    You know I'm right.

    You're too strong for underground fights.

    No one wants a boxer

[01:02] Yuri
    I can't imagine you'd want
    a ring name on your tombstone.
[01:05] JD
    They don't make tombstones for stray dogs.
[01:30] Nanbu
    One shot and he's taken the momentum...
[01:32] Nanbu
    That's a hell of a jab.
    If it had connected cleanly...
[01:43] Yuri
    How about a handicap?
[01:47] Yuri
    I won't use my right hand.
[01:49] Yuri
    My left should be enough for you.
[01:53] Crowd
    What's going on?
[01:54] Crowd
    Is he saying he can beat
    Junk Dog one-handed?
[02:00] JD
    That's the champion for you.
[02:02] JD
    So generous.
[02:04] JD
    Here's hoping you don't regret it!
[02:13] JD
    He's changing the angle of his
    jabs to shut down my punches!
[02:18] JD
    How about this, then?!
[02:25] JD
    Got you!
[02:36] Commentary
    Down goes Junk Dog! He's down!
[02:39] Count
    One...
[02:40] Nanbu
    Damn it... he wasn't bluffing
    about that handicap.
[02:41] Count
    Two...
[02:44] Nanbu
    Three...
[02:44] Nanbu
    He really did only need his left hand.
[02:46] Nanbu
    Four...
[02:48] Nanbu
    Partner, stay down! Give it a rest!
[02:49] Count
    Five...
[02:51] Nanbu
    You're gonna seriously
    end up dead if you go on!
[02:51] Count
    Six...
[02:54] Count
    Seven...
[02:55] JD
    Dying doesn't bother me.
[02:58] JD
    Not when I'm having...
[03:04] JD
    this much fun.
[03:06] Sign
    "Champion Joe" 50th Anniversary Project
[04:55] JD
    That smug look on your face is pissing me off!
[05:14] JD
    Y'know, if you'd only used your left hand,
    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?

    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!
[17:10] Nanbu
    Damn it...

[17:51] JD
    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!

    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.

    You use your feet like we practiced,

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

[06:27] Joe
    Right.
[06:30] Shark Corner
    Don't worry about him.
[06:31] Shark Corner
    He's just trying to provoke you!
[06:36] Shark Corner
    Keep your cool in there, you hear me?!
[06:42] Nanbu
    Joe... are you...
[06:48] Nanbu
    If you wanna run, this is your last chance.

    What, are you kidding?
[06:54] Joe
    I've never felt like this before.

    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?!

    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!

    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,

    Yeah? You want a piece of me, Pops?

[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

    You being here, with me again.

    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...

    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.

    In case something else turns up, where we
    can make it through without this match.

    Don't give me that bullshit!

    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.

    We've gotta drill the correct
    distance into you.

    He said he was going out.

    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.

[13:45] Nanbu
    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?
[19:29] Miyagi
    You...
[19:32] Nanbu
    I'm begging you, Aragaki. Listen to me!
[19:33] Miyagi
    Enough!
[19:34] Corner
    Come on...
[19:35] Miyagi
    The fight's about to start!
    What's wrong with you?!
[19:37] Nanbu
    It's just like you thought!
[19:39] Nanbu
    I ran away.
[19:41] Nanbu
    I ran away from what we had back then.
[19:44] Nanbu
    So you can hate me, but not Joe!

[02:42] Crowd
    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.
[05:23] Aragaki
    That's not going to help against me!
[05:33] Ref
    He's down!
[05:35] Count
    One...
[05:36] Count
    Two...
[05:36] Nanbu
    Joe! Don't worry about how it looks!
[05:38] Count
    Three...
[05:39] Nanbu
    You have to get as close as you can
    so that his speed won't be a factor!
[05:40] Count
    Four...
[05:41] Count
    Five...
[05:43] Count
    Six...
[05:43] Nanbu
    If it gets dangerous, go ahead
    and clinch! Just hang in there!
[05:48] Joe
    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
    to practice until it's natural.
[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.

[09:29] Joe
    I don't give a damn about
    what happened between you two.
[09:32] Joe
    This guy's in my way, so I'm gonna beat him.
[09:39] Aragaki
    Why?
[09:45] Aragaki
    Why do you stand?!
[09:53] Joe
    Split it evenly... Fifty-fifty!
[10:01] Joe
    Split it evenly, Fifty-fifty.
[10:02] Aragaki
    Shut up!
[10:10] Joe
    Split it evenly. Fifty-fifty.
[10:12] Aragaki
    I said shut the hell up!

[11:17] Nanbu
    I get it.
[11:25] Nanbu
    Breathe deep.
[11:28] Nanbu
    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.
[13:30] (Flashback) Miyagi
    This match is so you can move on.
[13:34] (Flashback) Miyagi
    Isn't it?

[13:48] Crowd
    Go! Go!
[14:44] Nanbu
    Does it hurt?
[14:47] Joe
    Not enough to bother me.
[14:51] Aragaki
    For tomorrow... huh?
[14:58] Aragaki
    Coach Miyagi...
[15:04] Nanbu
    Okay.

    Aragaki has forfeited the match.

    the winner is "Gearless" Joe!

    Did we win?

    Yeah.

    Joe!
[15:39] Sachi
    We won! We won!

    Right...

    Aragaki!
[16:07] Aragaki
    I'm sorry.
[16:09] Miyagi
    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.
[19:08] (Flashback) Aragaki
    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

    You look bored, Yuri.

    Burroughs has some tough luck.

[02:50] TV
    These two top ranked fighters, each considered
    a favorite for entry into Megalonia,
[02:54] TV
    are going to collide over
    the final available slot!
[02:57] TV
    The winner of this match is considered
    likely to become the Final One,
[03:00] TV
    but do you think there's any room
    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
    and the chances for Joe
    making it in are close to zero.
[03:15] Sachio
    What the hell?
[03:16] Sachio
    They're totally ignoring Joe.
[03:19] Nanbu
    Don't worry about it.
[03:20] Nanbu
    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.
[03:42] Nanbu
    If this match decided who got in...
[03:45] Nanbu
    Nobody would be happy.
[03:48] Shirato
    What do you mean?
[03:49] Nanbu
    Am I wrong?
[03:50] Nanbu
    This match is basically just
    setting the table for your brother.
[03:53] Nanbu
    I doubt the public is gonna accept that.
[03:56] Nanbu
    They're gonna wonder if you
    forgot a certain someone.
SIGN    Team Nowhere 
[04:01] Shirato
    I hear your fighter is actually too
    injured from his match with Aragaki
[04:04] Shirato
    to be fighting anyone at the moment.
[04:08] Aragaki
    Oh, the kid's in top shape.
[04:10] Aragaki
    Everyone gets a fair chance, right?
[04:13] Shirato
    I hope things turn out well for you two.
[04:15] Shirato
    After all, Megalonia is open to anyone...
[04:19] Shirato
    With the exception of those who don't use Gear.
[04:26] Nanbu
    At least she's honest.
[05:14] Nanbu
    Mikio's reading all the other guy's moves.
[05:17] Nanbu
    Even Suger's switch-ups
    aren't making a difference.
[05:21] Sachio
    That AI Gear of his
[05:22] Sachio
    probably determines the most
    cost-effective attacks and defenses
[05:25] Sachio
    given what's going on in the match.
[05:29] Nanbu
    So the Gear is calling the shots, and not him?
[05:46] Ref

    A KO at 2:50 into the second round!
[05:50] Ref

    To be able to pull a stunt like
    that on a fighter like Suger...
[05:58] Nanbu

    This means I have a ticket into Megalonia...
[06:17] Mikio
    Or rather, I wish it did.
[06:19] Mikio
    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.

    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?

    Then what is this match about?
[12:26] Nanbu
    Shirato Yukiko wants to keep

[12:30] Yabunuma
    Some people think she's worried about
    looking like he has an unfair advantage...

    But I'm not so sure.
[12:35] Yabunuma
    Either way, watch yourselves.

    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.

[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?!
[18:58] Sahcio
    They actually need me.
[19:02] Sahcio
    So, Dad, Mom, don't worry about me.

    Sorry.

[19:36] Santa
    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.
[21:39] Announcer
    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.

SIGN    Team Nowhere
[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...
[08:58] Mikio
    And which are you, Yuri?
SIGN    Absolutely No Press Allowed!! -Big Joe Fan Club
[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!
[17:45] MC
    This is the world's largest Megalo Box arena!

    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?
[18:40] Oicho
    Sachio! Big Joe just—
[18:45] Sachio
    Joe...?
[18:50] MC
    And tonight, the final

    With Team Shirato, Shirato Mikio!
[19:15] MC
    With his prodigious intellect
    and exceptional athleticism,
[19:19] MC
    it's easy to say that the heavens
    have blessed this fighter!
[19:22] MC
    The fighting engineer, Shirato Mikio!
[19:25] MC
    With Ace, the AI-equipped
    Gear of his own creation,
[19:29] MC
    he will now be within striking distance
    of the top spot in Megalo Boxing!

[20:02] Sachio
    Pops!

    Sachio!
[20:07] Joe
    Not yet!
[20:09] Nanbu
    Joe?!
[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!

[00:10] Announcer
    It's the match to decide who will be
    the Final One to compete in Megalonia!
[00:12] Announcer
    We're partway through the second round.
[01:03] Nanbu
    Don't just stand there!
    Use your feet to move around him!
[01:08] Ann
    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
    showing so far today.
[01:21] Mikio
    Let me guess...
    "It wasn't supposed to be like this."
[01:25] Ref
    He's down!

[01:37] Count
    Four...
[01:38] Sachio
    Pops!
[01:40] Count
    Five...
[01:40] Nanbu
    Yeah. It's reading him,
    even though he's not using Gear.
[01:43] Count
    Six...
[01:44] Nanbu
    No doubt about it...
[01:45] Nanbu
    His Gear's different than it was before!
[01:47] Count
    Seven...
[01:50] Count
    Eight...
[01:53] Count
    Nine...
[03:41] Shirato
    A new model, one without
    the previous weaknesses...
[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?
[04:32] Mikio
    You people and your
    pathetic little bag of tricks...
[04:35] Joe
    What?!
[04:43] Ref
    That's a slip!
[04:44] Crowd
    Get it together, Joe!
[04:45] Crowd
    This isn't some brawl between thugs!
[04:48] Mikio
    Damned stray.
[04:51] ANN
    And the second round is now complete!
[04:53] ANN
    Joe is really looking rough out there.
[04:56] Sachio
    Joe!
[04:59] Shirato
    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?
[06:02] Crew
    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%.
[07:08] Comp
    Synchronization at 38%... 49%... 55%.
[07:15] (Flashback) Mikio
    Higher!
[07:17] Comp
    79%... 85%... 98%.
[07:21] (Flashback) Mikio
    Give me more!
[07:24] Comp
    Output is maximized.
[07:28] Comp
    Synchronization dropping..
[07:30] Comp
    60%. 54%. 32%. No longer stable.
[08:07] (Flashback) Mikio
    We're working our way back up from 60.

    All you are is a fraud who's
    bluffed his way this far.
[08:52] Joe
    Is that all?
[08:54] Joe
    You wanna be the real deal
    with punches like these?
[09:09] ANN
    A devastating uppercut!
[09:10] ANN
    Joe is knocked out of the ring!
[09:12] Oicho
    Big Joe...
[09:17] Mikio
    You don't have the right to
    talk about who's the real deal,
[09:21] Mikio
    Junk Dog the fraud.
[09:24] Sachio
    Joe!
[09:26] Nanbu
    Don't touch him!
[09:28] Nanbu
    If his corner helps him up,
    he loses by disqualification.
[09:32] Joe
    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?!
[10:53] (Flashback) Yuri
    Only winners have the right to fight me.
[10:58] (Flashback) Mikio
    You think you're the only one with real skill?
[11:00] (Flashback) Mikio
    You're just a wild animal
    that's cozied up to Shirato!
[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
[11:18] (Flashback) Yuri
    when they choose to stand in the ring.
[11:25] (Flashback) Yuri
    Are you the one who put your guard up?
[11:28] (Flashback) Yuri
    Or was it Ace?
[11:33] (Flashback) Mikio
    Ace...
[11:43] Mikio
    Ace...
[11:47] Mikio
    is me!
[11:51] Mikio

    What's going on here?
[13:34] ANN
    An odd turn of events!
[13:36] ANN
    "Gearless" Joe has dropped his guard,

    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?!

    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...

    their eyes to their true nature,

    Sorry, Mr. Nanbu,

    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.
[06:50] Spider
    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.

    Yeah.

    It's odd, though.

    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.
[22:19] Abu
    So, tell me...
    Who should I be betting on tonight?

    who won with a decisive KO the other day.
[00:13] Radio
    Will "Gearless" Joe, who managed
    to slide into the spot of Final One,
[00:15] Radio
    endure the onslaught of Burroughs
    to pull off another miraculous win?
[00:20] Radio
    Expectations are high after
    his defeat of Shirato Michio,
[00:23] Radio
    with not just experts, but even the exacting
    standards of overseas bookmakers,
[00:28] Radio
    predicting a victory for Joe.
[00:30] Radio
    Those odds are currently being
    listed between 3/1 and 5/1.
[00:38] Nanbu
    Yeah?
[00:39] Fujimaki
    Amazing, isn't it?
[00:40] Fujimaki
    You've got the whole world
    fooled with your scam.
[00:44] Nanbu
    I don't remember asking for any protection.
[00:48] Fujimaki
    I apologize if it makes you
    uncomfortable. I have faith in you.
[00:53] Fujimaki
    I'll see you at the arena.
[03:07] Sachio
    It was... out by the dumpster, so...
[03:10] Shirato
    Thank you.
[03:11] Sachio
    Just paying you back
    for the stay and the food.
[03:13] Sachio
    I don't wanna owe you anything.
[03:16] Shirato
    I can never keep flowers alive.
[03:18] Shirato
    They die before the petals
    have a chance to fall.
[03:24] Shirato
    That looks like good luck charm.
[03:27] Sachio
    Well, I'm looking after Joe's ID, so...
[03:29] Shirato
    You're doing it for him, then?
[03:34] Sachio
    My... My Mom liked these flowers.
[03:40] Shirato
    You can still make it in time,
    if you leave now.
[03:43] Sachio
    I'm not going! I've made up my mind.
[03:46] Shirato
    Don't you want to see it yourself?
[03:49] Shirato
    The sight of him standing
    in the ring at Megalonia.
[03:52] Sachio
    I don't need to see to know!
[03:54] Sachio
    Joe's not gonna lose until he fights Yuri!
[04:01] Shirato
    I see. Well, that's your choice to make.
[04:24] MC
    Glen Burroughs!
[04:26] MC
    The heavyweight boxer who stalks
    the ring like it's the savanna!
[04:30] MC
    Facing this wild beast,
[04:33] MC
    is the man who fights only with
    his fists, the unarmed hunter!
SIGN    Team Nowhere
[04:51] MC
    The man who's scored upset after
    miraculous upset with no enhancement,
[04:54] MC
    "Gearless" Joe!
[05:10] (Flashback) Sachio
    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.
[05:41] (Flashback) Joe
    It's probably a load of crap, but...
[05:43] (Flashback) Sachio
    What the hell? Who taught
    you that nonsense?
[05:59] Shirato
    One moment, please.
[06:01] Shirato
    Do you want anything?
[06:03] Yuri
    No.
[06:04] Shirato
    I see. Thank you, then.
[06:06] Waiter
    Excuse me.
[06:12] Waiter
    I've brought your meal.
[06:23] Thug
    All our customers are betting on Joe.
[06:27] Thug
    Unfortunately for them, he's going
    down in his first match of the tourney.
[06:31] Thug
    You'll wanna wrap it up in the
    third round, with a minute to go.
[06:34] Thug
    Have him make it look good until then.
[06:39] Fujimaki
    This water's got a hardness of over 600 ppm.
[06:43] Fujimaki
    It goes real well with fish
    that's been boiled in it.
[06:47] Fujimaki
    And the thing about hard water
    is that it makes for great stock.
[06:58] MC
    And now, the fighters will enter the ring!
[07:03] MC
    Out of the east corner,
    the third-ranked IMA fighter,
[07:07] MC
    with Killer Bomb Crew...
[07:10] MC
    Glen "Bloody Lion" Burroughs!
[07:27] MC
    And out of the west corner,
    the fourth-ranked IMA fighter...
[07:31] MC
    With Team Nowhere,
[07:33] MC
    Gearless "Naked Boy" Joe!
[07:47] Crowd
    Hey... is that...?
[07:50] Crowd
    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?
[09:11] Crowd
    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...
[15:53] Shirato
    It's over.
[15:58] Oicho
    Big Joe...
[16:01] Bonjiri
    Look!
[16:08] Sachio
    Don't you dare let it end like this!
[16:12] Nanbu
    Sachio?!
[16:14] Shirato
    The boy!
[16:16] Shirato
    Yuri!
[16:29] Sachio
    Fight for your own sake, Joe!

    Go and get the kid, now.

    Don't let it end as a bluff!
[17:09] Kids
    Joe!
[17:12] Security
    We'll bring him in right away.
[17:15] Sachio
    What?! What the hell, man?!
[17:17] Sachio
    Let go of me, you asshole!
[17:26] Yuri
    Did you forget what you told me?
[17:35] Yuri
    Do not disappoint me, Joe!
[17:50] Nanbu
    Get up!
[17:52] Nanbu
    Get on your feet, Joe!
[17:56] Nanbu
    I'm not gonna let them touch Sachio!
[18:00] Nanbu
    Nobody's taking tomorrow away from you!
[18:05] Nanbu
    Get up... get up and fight.
[18:09] Nanbu
    You have a future, Joe!
[18:13] Nanbu
    You've got real skill.
[18:16] Nanbu
    That's a Nanbu Gansaku guarantee!

    This ain't a bluff anymore!

    Seven...

    I can't let it end like this, can I?
[18:56] Glen
    Stupid!
[19:03] Joe
    I don't have time to be dancing with a lion!
[19:11] Corner
    Don't rush it! Calm down, Glen!
[19:28] Ref
    He's down!
[19:33] Ref
    With a KO at 2:56 into the Round 3,
[19:37] Ref
    the winner is "Gearless" Joe of Team Nowhere!
[19:42] Commentary
    It was over in an instant...
[19:43] Commentary
    And the goosebumps have yet to subside!
[19:46] Commentary
    "Gearless" Joe's savage
     and beautiful counterpunch
[19:49] Commentary
    sinks Burroughs in the blink of an eye!
[19:53] Sachio
    Joe!

    Joe!
[20:03] Sachio
    Joe, you're freakin' amazing!
[20:05] Sachio
    Joe!
[20:16] Nanbu
    You done already?
[20:21] Fujimaki
    You picked the wrong man to sting, Mr. Nanbu.
[20:27] Fujimaki
    It's over for you.
[20:35] Comm
    As a result, the final match of Megalonia
[20:38] Comm
    will be Yuri VS Gearless Joe.
[20:43] Comm
    It's bound to be the most unpredictable
    match to ever grace the ring.
[20:49] Shirato
    What happened?
[20:51] Yuri
    For the first time in my life...
    I think I understand what jealousy is like.
[20:58] Yuri
    "Gearless" Joe... he's the real deal.
[21:18] Joe
    Pops!
[21:30] Joe
    You did this?
[21:32] Joe
    You did this to him?!
[21:34] Nanbu
    Give it a rest.
[21:35] Joe
    Pops...
[21:36] Nanbu
    I settled things myself.
[21:39] Nanbu
    There's nothing for you to do.
[21:42] Nanbu
    If you're not satisfied with an eyeball,
[21:46] Nanbu
    then I'm ready to rip out my
    damn heart and fork it over!
[21:55] Fujimaki
    Get them out of my sight.
[21:58] Thug
    M-Mr. Fujimaki...
[22:01] Fujimaki
    The man who wanted to see the kid dance
    in the ring more than anyone else...
[22:07] Fujimaki
    willingly tore out any chance
    he ever had of seeing that happen.
[22:10] Fujimaki
    You think just anybody
    could pull that kind of stunt?
[22:16] Fujimaki
    Hilarious.

    All that's left is for Yuri to

[00:11] Shirato
    Yes.
[00:12] Shirato
    I promise you an overwhelming victory.
[00:22] Yuri
    Congratulations, Owner.
[00:27] Shirato
    We've finally come this far.
[00:30] Shirato
    It's all thanks to you, Yuri.
[00:35] Shirato
    But the real fight is only beginning.
[00:39] Shirato
    Once people sincerely believe in
    the infinite potential of Gear,
[00:44] Shirato
    Shirato's technology will become a
    beacon of hope for the future.
[00:49] Shirato
    And you'll be the one who
    proves that to them, Yuri.
[00:53] Shirato
    Come, let's have a toast.
[00:56] Shirato
    To the start of our new dream.
[01:04] Yuri
    I'm going to have the Gear removed
    so I can fight without it in the finals.
[01:10] Yuri
    I want to fight him,
[01:12] Yuri
    fight Joe, on even footing.
[02:57] Shirato
    Remove... your Gear?
[03:01] Shirato
    Do you realize how incredibly
    dangerous that is?
[03:05] Yuri
    Yes.
[03:06] Yuri
    It's what I want personally,
    not as Shirato's representative boxer.
[03:10] Yuri
    I can't keep lying to myself.
[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.

    Joe!
[07:43] Joe
    Not knowing when to give up
    is kinda my thing, y'know?
[07:53] Nanbu
    This is gonna be an endurance contest.
[07:54] Nanbu
    Whoever gives in first between
    you and Yuri is gonna lose.
[07:58] Nanbu
    Like I said before, he's human, just like you.
[08:01] Nanbu
    As the damage builds up, he's gonna
    make mistakes you wouldn't normally see.
[08:07] Nanbu
    Sachio, how's Yuri doing?
[08:09] Sachio
    Uh, right... doesn't seem any different so far.
[08:23] Comm
    We're into the sixth round, and the
    champion's advantage is still on display.
[08:27] Nanbu
    Listen to me, Joe.
[08:28] Nanbu
    He can switch up all he wants,
    but his feet are gonna tell the story.
[08:32] Nanbu
    When he goes for the kill,
    you nail him with a counter.
[08:37] Joe
    There it is!
[08:42] Ref
    He's down!
[08:43] Sachio
    Pops!

    Joe!
[09:01] Vets
    Joe!
[09:09] Nanbu
    Joe, circle to the left!
[09:22] Nanbu
    He sent one back!
[09:24] Aragaki
    He's doing it!
[09:26] Yabu
    This is a hell of a show.
[09:30] Fuji
    You turned a fraud into the real deal...
[09:35] Fuji
    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.

    Pops, that's a carrot, not a mic...
[19:26] Nanbu
    Shut it!

    You brats better be getting ready, too!

    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.
