**[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?
