[00:06] General
    All that's left is for Yuri to
    christen this deal with a win.
[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.
