**[00:15] Nanbu**
See, and here's the turn.
**[00:17] Sachio**
Don't get carried away and fall over, Pops.
**[00:21] Nanbu**
I've been at this for a long time.
**[00:24] Nanbu**
I figure it's time you learn to dance, too.
**[00:28] Sachio**
Cut it out! I don't wanna!
**[00:36] Nanbu**
Come on, match the tempo!
**[00:39] Sachio**
Give it a rest!
**[00:47] Nanbu**
Here.
**[00:49] Joe**
What's that?
**[00:51] Sachio**
A ticket from a bet he lost
on a dog race, apparently.
**[00:54] Nanbu**
It's a charm to help you avoid
getting hit by Yuri's punches.
***SIGN*** Area 13 Dog Racing Association Race 7 #5 Carpediem
**[01:00] Joe**
You bet on a dog with a weird name.
**[01:03] Sachio**
What's it even mean, Pops?
**[01:07] Nanbu**
"Seize the day."
**[01:09] Nanbu**
Means you gotta live in
the moment and value it.
**[01:13] Nanbu**
There's no telling what'll
happen to us tomorrow,
**[01:17] Nanbu**
but what we do now is what
sets the course. Y'know?
**[01:24] PA**
*Twenty minutes until the match begins.*
**[01:27] Nanbu**
It's time.
**[01:27] PA**
*Both fighters, please head to the gate.*
**[01:28] Nanbu**
You ready, Joe?
**[01:29] Joe**
Yeah.
**[01:33] Joe**
Come on, Sachio!
**[01:35] Sachio**
Yeah! I'm coming!
**[01:38] Joe**
Man...
**[01:40] Joe**
What were you doing back there, anyway?
**[01:45] Sachio**
Oh, nothing.
***SIGN*** Team

**[01:46] Joe**
What's that supposed to mean?
**[01:48] Sachio**
Seriously, it's nothing!
**[01:49] Sachio**
Let's get a move on!
**[03:39] Comm**
I... I can't quite believe what
we're seeing here, folks.
**[03:44] Color**
This is unprecedented.
**[03:46] Color**
The battle to determine
the strongest Megalo Boxer,
**[03:48] Color**
the championship match of Megalonia...
**[03:50] Color**
I don't think anyone expected
it to shape up like this.
**[03:54] Joe**
How's it feel to be gearless?
**[03:59] Yuri**
I think I might understand
what you meant before, now.
**[04:04] Comm**
I still don't believe what I'm seeing.
**[04:06] Comm**
We've got a pair of gearless
boxers standing in the ring
**[04:09] Comm**
where the greatest fighter will be crowned.
**[04:12] Sachio**
Pops... Yuri's body...
**[04:15] Sachio**
The places where the Gear used to be
look like he was torn up by giant claws!
**[04:21] Nanbu**
A pair of scarred-up animals, huh?
**[04:24] Nanbu**
The kid couldn't have asked
for a better dance partner here.
**[04:34] Phone**
*President, it's about to start.*
**[04:58] Comm**
We're now into the fourth round...
**[05:01] Comm**
Joe's been throwing more punches so far,
**[05:03] Comm**
but Yuri seems to be
connecting more regularly.
**[05:06] Color**
You'd think the loss of Gear
could've slowed Yuri,
**[05:10] Color**
but he's looking better than ever out there.
***SIGN*** Go! Big Joe! Go! Team Nowhere!
**[05:14] Sachio**
He's hitting back really fast!
He's predicting Joe's moves!
**[05:18] Nanbu**
Don't get tense out there!
**[05:19] Nanbu**
Stay light on your feet!
**[05:21] Yuri**
*Is this the pure and simple fight you wanted?*
**[05:41] Sachio**
Joe!
**[05:48] Joe**
I've been letting him set the pace so far,
**[05:50] Joe**
but it's about time I start my engine.
**[05:52] Nanbu**
You were sounding pretty restless
out there for someone taking it slow.
**[05:56] Nanbu**
Look, this guy has the edge
offensively, defensively,
**[05:58] Nanbu**
and in about every other way you can look at it.
**[06:01] Nanbu**
He's got a lot more wins under his belt,
**[06:04] Nanbu**
but he's still only human.
**[06:06] Nanbu**
Sooner or later, he'll show an opening.
**[06:09] Nanbu**
Don't miss that chance.
**[06:13] Comm**
* Yuri hasn't sat down once during*
* the intervals between rounds.*
**[06:17] Comm**
* It seems he's got a bottomless*
* reserve of stamina.*
**[06:20] Mikio**
It's the other way around.
**[06:22] Mikio**
The pain and loss of stamina from the surgery...
**[06:25] Mikio**
If he sits down, he won't be able
to stand, so he's staying on his feet.
**[06:32] Mikio**
Let me see how this plays out, to the end.
**[06:39] Yuri**
*That's it. Give me more!*
**[06:48] Sachio**
Joe!
**[06:49] Aragaki**
Weave past it and grab a hold of him!
**[07:08] Sachio**
Pops! Yuri pulled his left back!
**[07:10] Nanbu**
He switched?
**[07:12] Comm**
And that's the champion for you!
**[07:13] Comm**
By switching from orthodox to southpaw
he's managed to avoid disaster!
**[07:29] Ref**
He's down!
**[07:30] Sachio**
Joe!
**[07:31] Count**
One...
**[07:32] Nanbu**
He can't predict the timing
of when Yuri switches up.

**[07:40] Nanbu**
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!
**[08:43] Count**
One...
**[08:44] Nanbu**
Joe! Rest until the count's almost done.

**[08:58] Yuri**
*I can't dance up here on my own.*
**[09:00] Kids**
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.

**[19:41] Sachio**
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.
