[00:04] Fuji
    You aren't the only one...
[00:06] Fuji
    Scorpions who wanna close
    their eyes to their true nature,
[00:09] Fuji
    poisoned by the venom of dreams.
[00:13] Fuji
    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.
SIGN    Team Nowhere
[13:08] ANN
    The day has finally come!
[13:11] ANN
    A battle to determine who stands
    at the peak of Megalo Boxing!
[13:14] ANN
    We're nearing the opening salvo of Megalonia!
[13:17] ANN
    Take a good look at this capacity crowd!
[13:21] ANN
    On the verge of this historic event,
[13:23] ANN
    the anticipation and excitement
    are hotter than ever!
[13:27] Military
    I look forward to seeing
    what you've put together.
[13:29] Shirato
    Certainly.
[13:30] Director
    Ms. President.
[13:32] Shirato
    Pardon me.
[13:33] Military
    Sure.
[13:38] Director
    After an internal audit,
    it seems that the design data
[13:41] Director
    for the integrated Gear's
    immunosuppressant mechanism
[13:44] Director
    was procured irregularly.
[13:47] Director
    It seems certain that the original
    developer was the boy's father.
[14:23] ANN
    Fighting out of the east corner...
[14:25] ANN
    the second-ranked IMA boxer...
    with the Tres Familias...
[14:30] ANN
    Pepe "The Spider"...
[14:33] ANN
    Iglesias!
[14:41] Commentary
    Pepe Iglesias!
[14:42] Commentary
    Can the vicious Mexican
    spider lay the champ out here
[14:46] Commentary
    in the ring of Megalonia, like he claimed?
[14:53] Announcer
    And now, fighting out of the west corner...
[15:16] Announcer
    The number-one ranked IMA boxer!
[15:18] Announcer
    With Team Shirato, the King of Kings:
[15:22] Announcer
    Yuri!
[15:32] Commentary
    The implacable champion, Yuri!
[15:34] Commentary
    Sporting the integrated Gear that
    has become Shirato's calling card,
[15:37] Commentary
    it's become as integrated with this brilliant
    boxer's body as the name suggests,
[15:41] Commentary
    allowing him to fend off every
    claim on his title so far!
[15:44] Shirato
    The integrated Gear was developed
    thanks to the sacrifices of all involved.
[15:49] Shirato
    We consider victory to be an obligation.
[15:54] Shirato
    Director Asamoto.
[15:55] Director
    Ma'am?
[15:56] Shirato
    Please put together a list of everyone
    involved in the irregularity you mentioned.
[15:59] Shirato
    We'll make sure that they're dealt with, in full.
[16:01] Director
    Understood.
[16:19] Crowd
    Go, Yuri!
[16:21] Crowd
    Pepe! Mátalo!
[16:22] Commentary
    The match begins, and
    Pepe presses aggressively forward!
[16:26] Color
    He's got that long reach, and a posture
    that makes it hard to get inside...
[16:31] Color
    Combine that with the variety
    of attacks that he can pull off,
[16:34] Color
    and over time, his opponents find
    they're unable to fight back effectively,
[16:37] Color
    like they're caught in a spider's web.
[16:40] Color
    That's how he got the nickname, Spider.
[16:49] Commentary
    Neither fighter is giving an inch so far.
[16:52] Commentary
    Just how will the orthodox Yuri
    deal with Pepe's unique style?
[16:59] Commentary
    And that's the end of the first round!
[17:01] Commentary
    Things are already incredibly tense!
[17:04] Color
    Most likely, one of these men will be
    going on the offensive in the next round.
[17:31] Commentary
    Pepe seems to have finally caught Yuri!
[17:32] Commentary
    Pepe seems to have finally caught Yuri!
[17:33] Commentary
    The first hit of the match to land!
[17:33] Commentary
    The first hit of the match to land!
[17:35] Spider
    I'm gonna kill you.
[18:03] Ref
    He's down!
[18:05] Count
    One...
[18:07] Count
    Two...
[18:07] Commentary
    Wha... What just happened?!
[18:09] Count
    Three...
[18:10] Commentary
    Pepe dropped as though
    he had just been shot!
[18:10] Count
    Four...
[18:12] Count
    Five...
[18:14] Count
    Six...
[18:15] Color
    It was a left hook.
[18:16] Count
    Seven...
[18:16] Color
    And I don't think Pepe ever saw it coming.
[18:17] Count
    Eight...
[18:19] Count
    Nine...
[18:21] Count
    Ten.
[18:23] Ref
    With a K.O. 2:10 into the 2nd round,
[18:26] Ref
    the winner is Yuri with Team Shirato!
[18:51] Joe
    Hey there, boy.
[18:52] Joe
    Where'd you come from?
[19:08] Joe
    So he's yours?
[19:10] Yuri
    Yeah.
[19:11] Yuri
    It's odd, though.
    He usually doesn't like strangers.
[19:15] Joe
    That was a hell of a hook, man.
[19:17] Joe
    I actually felt bad for Pepe
    when it landed full on.
[19:22] Yuri
    When you get in the ring, you either
    win or lose. There's nothing else to it.
[19:27] Yuri
    Everyone's equal.
[19:33] Yuri
    Why don't you use Gear?
[19:36] Yuri
    Why insist on fighting without it?
[19:40] Joe
    At first, it was just a bluff
    to get my name out there...
[19:44] Joe
    But now, it's something else.
[19:50] Joe
    Every time I get in the ring,
    I'm betting my life on my fists.
[19:54] Joe
    It's scary as hell, but it's so
    much fun I can barely stand it.
[20:02] Joe
    I wanna have a real match
    against you, pure and simple.
[20:07] Joe
    I get the feeling that, against you,
    I can go further than I've ever gone before.
[20:12] Joe
    What about you?
    What're you fighting for?
[20:18] Shirato
    A dream.
[20:21] Shirato
    Someone believed in me when I was
    nothing, and brought me this far...
[20:25] Shirato
    I want to make her dream come true.
[20:27] Shirato
    That's why I do it.
SIGN    Team Nowhere
[20:40] Nanbu
    Sweet dreams, huh?
[20:45] Fuji
    Did you discuss things with your partner?
[20:48] Nanbu
    You bet.
[20:50] Nanbu
    The thought of finally being
    out from underneath this debt...
[20:53] Nanbu
    Just had to have a celebratory drink, y'know?
[20:55] Fuji
    You really are a scorpion.
[21:02] Fuji
    Have you ever heard that story?
[21:04] Fuji
    The one about a scorpion
    who wants to cross a river.
[21:10] Fuji
    But scorpions can't swim.
[21:13] Fuji
    So the scorpion asks a frog
    that happens to be by the river
[21:16] Fuji
    if he'd give him a ride on his
    back, so he can get across.
[21:21] Fuji
    The frog asks him:
    "But you'll sting me, won't you?"
[21:26] Fuji
    The scorpion responds: "I would never do that."
[21:29] Fuji
    "Because if you die halfway across, I'll drown."
[21:35] Fuji
    The frog is convinced, and kindly
    lets the scorpion onto his back,
[21:40] Fuji
    and starts to cross the river.
[21:43] Fuji
    But on the way, the scorpion stings the frog.
[21:47] Fuji
    As he's losing consciousness, the frog says:
[21:51] Fuji
    "You told me you wouldn't sting me."
[21:54] Fuji
    And the scorpion tells him...
[21:58] Nanbu
    "I couldn't help it."
[22:00] Nanbu
    "It's in a scorpion's nature."
[22:10] Abu
    Your partner came by last night.
[22:14] Abu
    He said to give this to you if you show up.
[22:19] Abu
    So, tell me...
    Who should I be betting on tonight?
