[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? SIGN    Round 10     "The Die Is Cast"     The dice have been thrown. You can double your bet if you want.
