    Yuri! Yuri! Yuri!

    Three minute rounds! No round limit!
[00:08] Commentary
    How big of a piece can Junk Dog take
    out of the unstoppable champion?!

[00:17] Crowd
    Place your damn bets already!
[00:17] Betters
    Step right up!
[00:21] JD
    But... I want to believe.
[00:24] JD
    Believe that my faith in myself is real.
[00:29] Nanbu
    This isn't some game!
[00:32] Nanbu
    Look, please, stop this!
[00:34] Nanbu
    Odds this bad can't make for good gambling!
[00:36] Domoto
    Give it up. The boss says
    tonight's a special occasion.
[00:40] Domoto
    Plus...
[00:41] Domoto
    This is the biggest special event in
    the history of these underground fights.
[00:44] Domoto
    How could I stop that?
[00:49] Nanbu
    Listen! If you get the chance,
    just take a fall! And count to ten!
[00:55] Nanbu
    Or you'll die.
[00:59] Yuri
    Why don't you tell me your name?
[01:02] Yuri
    I can't imagine you'd want
    a ring name on your tombstone.
[01:05] JD
    They don't make tombstones for stray dogs.
[01:30] Nanbu
    One shot and he's taken the momentum...
[01:32] Nanbu
    That's a hell of a jab.
    If it had connected cleanly...
[01:43] Yuri
    How about a handicap?
[01:47] Yuri
    I won't use my right hand.
[01:49] Yuri
    My left should be enough for you.
[01:53] Crowd
    What's going on?
[01:54] Crowd
    Is he saying he can beat
    Junk Dog one-handed?
[02:00] JD
    That's the champion for you.
[02:02] JD
    So generous.
[02:04] JD
    Here's hoping you don't regret it!
[02:13] JD
    He's changing the angle of his
    jabs to shut down my punches!
[02:18] JD
    How about this, then?!
[02:25] JD
    Got you!
[02:36] Commentary
    Down goes Junk Dog! He's down!
[02:39] Count
    One...
[02:40] Nanbu
    Damn it... he wasn't bluffing
    about that handicap.
[02:41] Count
    Two...
[02:44] Nanbu
    Three...
[02:44] Nanbu
    He really did only need his left hand.
[02:46] Nanbu
    Four...
[02:48] Nanbu
    Partner, stay down! Give it a rest!
[02:49] Count
    Five...
[02:51] Nanbu
    You're gonna seriously
    end up dead if you go on!
[02:51] Count
    Six...
[02:54] Count
    Seven...
[02:55] JD
    Dying doesn't bother me.
[02:58] JD
    Not when I'm having...
[03:04] JD
    this much fun.

[04:55] JD
    That smug look on your face is pissing me off!
[05:14] JD
    Y'know, if you'd only used your left hand,
    you'd be out like a light right now.
[05:25] JD
    You can stop trying to show off now.
[05:27] JD
    Let's fight square from here on.
[05:31] Yuri
    Right.
[05:32] Yuri
    I'll grant that request of yours...
[05:35] Yuri
    And show you real Megalo Boxing.
[05:41] JD
    That's more like it.
[05:53] Nanbu
    Don't get cocky, kid!
[05:55] Nanbu
    Get away from him! Use your footwork!
[06:14] JD
    I see what you're doing.

    Uh, champion, the fight's not—
[06:55] Count
    Four...
[06:56] Yuri
    It's over.
[06:58] Count
    Five...
[06:59] Yuri
    He won't be able to stand.
[07:02] Count
    Six...
[07:05] Nanbu
    That's enough!
[07:06] Nanbu
    Stay down! Keep your ass down!
[07:06] Count
    Seven...
[07:08] JD
    Give it a rest, Pops.
[07:09] Nanbu
    Listen to me! Stay down!
[07:12] Nanbu
    Just lay there!
[07:12] JD
    That's not what I wanna hear.
[07:14] Count
    Nine...
[07:15] Nanbu
    Can you hear me?!
[07:16] Nanbu
    You've done enough! Don't get up!
[07:18] Count
    Ten.
[07:19] Commentary
    We've got a one-round KO!
[07:22] Commentary
    The winner is Yuri!
[07:25] Yuri
    Sorry for interrupting your operation.
[07:27] Domoto
    Everyone got to see the real
    deal in person, at no extra cost.
[07:30] Domoto
    That's a bargain.
[07:32] Crowd
    Yuri! Yuri!
[07:34] ---
    Yuri! Yuri! Yuri! Yuri!
[07:38] JD
    Yuri! Yuri! Yuri!
[07:43] JD
    That's your real Megalo Boxing?
[07:55] JD
    I'm not impressed.
[07:58] JD
    It couldn't even manage to kill a stray dog.
[08:03] JD
    Let's keep going.
[08:05] JD
    I'm not done yet.
[08:11] Nanbu
    No way in hell is that happening! You lost!
[08:16] Nanbu
    Give him a break, please!
[08:18] Nanbu
    The kid doesn't understand what he's saying!
[08:21] Nanbu
    He's totally hopeless—
[08:22] Yuri
    I'm done with you.
[08:25] Yuri
    I'm not going to continue
    brawling with stray dogs.
[08:29] Yuri
    This isn't my ring.
[08:32] JD
    Now that bothers you?
[08:38] Yuri
    If you're serious about fighting me again...
[08:41] Yuri
    then fight your way up to me.
[08:44] Yuri
    And my ring.
[08:50] JD
    W-Wait!
[08:52] JD
    Hey! Get back here!
[08:55] JD
    Stop!
[09:44] JD
    I can't go back to that.
[09:57] JD
    Not after what he just showed me!
[10:15] Yuri
    You want out?
[10:31] Yuri
    Owner...
[10:36] Shirato
    You went to see that man with
    the motorcycle, didn't you?
[10:40] Yuri
    Yes.
[10:41] Shirato
    You need to remember your position.
[10:43] Shirato
    You are not to step in the ring
    without my permission.
[10:48] Shirato
    Fighting in unsanctioned bouts
    is completely out of the question.
[10:52] Yuri
    I understand.
[10:54] Yuri
    I'll never see him again.
[11:04] Shirato
    Your body...
[11:05] Shirato
    It's the future of this company.
[11:10] Yuri
    I know.
[12:34] Domoto
    All right, handle it like usual.
[12:38] Nanbu
    Leave it to us!
[12:40] Domoto
    You explained to him the setup?
[12:42] Other guy
    Yeah, in full.
[12:45] Nanbu
    Hey, partner!
[12:47] Nanbu
    Everything is all set.
[12:50] Nanbu
    Middle of the fifth round...
[12:51] Nanbu
    The other guy lands a lucky
    punch, and you go down.
[12:57] JD
    Pops. I need to ask a favor.
[13:01] Nanbu
    Sure. Whatever you need.
[13:03] Nanbu
    Your scrap with Yuri...
[13:06] Nanbu
    has apparently doubled the
    audience, along with our cut.
[13:09] Nanbu
    I'm not gonna be in debt for much longer—
[13:14] Nanbu
    What's this?
[13:16] JD
    I want to fight Yuri again.
[13:19] JD
    Enter me into Megalonia.
[13:24] Nanbu
    You serious?
[13:26] JD
    Yeah.
[13:27] JD
    Get me into his ring. Please.
[13:32] Nanbu
    Where do you get off?!
[13:35] Nanbu
    Don't you get it?
[13:36] Nanbu
    He could've killed you back there.
[13:39] Nanbu
    And now you wanna talk big,
    talk about going "into his ring"?
[13:43] Nanbu
    You think a fraud can become the real deal?
[13:46] JD
    You're not the one who'd be fighting.
[13:49] JD
    It's me.
[13:51] Nanbu
    Come on...
[13:52] Nanbu
    Snap out of it, partner.
[13:56] Nanbu
    Besides, you'd need a citizen ID
    to enter a sanctioned match.
[14:00] Nanbu
    You got one of those? You don't, do you?
[14:04] Nanbu
    And even if you did...
[14:07] Nanbu
    only the top four ranked
    fighters get into the bracket.
[14:10] Nanbu
    You could bust your ass,
[14:12] Nanbu
    but there's no way you can get
    that far in three months.
[14:18] Nanbu
    Listen, guys like us, we don't
    get to think about tomorrow.
[14:23] Nanbu
    You focus too much on that stuff,
[14:26] Nanbu
    and you'll end up dead.
[14:32] Nanbu
    Stop all this dreaming...
[14:35] Nanbu
    And focus on doing your job well. All right?
[14:38] Nanbu
    Come on.
[14:41] Nanbu
    All right, I'm gonna go check on the crowd.
[14:44] Nanbu
    Go ahead and get ready.
[14:58] Commentary
    And here's today's opening match!
[15:00] Crowd
    We're counting on you!
[15:02] Nanbu
    Damn, what a simple bunch.
[15:06] Nanbu
    All right, partner, go easy on the guy.
[15:10] Nanbu
    You go at him too hard, and
    he won't last until round five.
[15:14] Nanbu
    Hey. You listening to me, partner?
[15:19] Nanbu
    That kid...
[15:25] Dude
    H-Huh?
[15:31] Ref
    Uh, s-start the count.
[15:33] Count
    One...
[15:36] Count
    Two...
[15:38] Count
    Three...
[15:39] Nanbu
    That brat!
[15:41] Count
    Four...
[15:42] Nanbu
    Buzz off! I'm in the middle of—
[15:43] Count
    Five...
[15:46] Count
    Six...
[16:19] Nanbu
    I'm so sorry, Mr. Fujimaki!
[16:22] Nanbu
    The kid and I have helped each other out,
    and gotten along up until now...
[16:26] Nanbu
    I never thought he'd betray me like this!
[16:30] Nanbu
    I just feel so damn pathetic and defeated!
[16:37] Fuji
    You know what fond de gibier is?
[16:41] Nanbu
    Sir?
[16:42] Fuji
    You hunt wild game and
    make soup stock out of it.
[16:47] Nanbu
    Oh...
[16:49] Fuji
    If you take your time boiling it...
[16:51] Fuji
    You can get 500 grams of fond
    out of 500 grams of bone.
[16:58] Fuji
    Works out pretty nicely, doesn't it?
[17:03] Fuji
    Mr. Nanbu... how much do you weigh?
[17:08] Fuji
    I'm asking your weight.
[17:11] Fuji
    How much?
[17:18] Fuji
    Try this.
[17:42] Nanbu
    I'm begging you, Mr. Fujimaki!
    I'll find a way to pay you back!
[17:46] Nanbu
    So just give me some more time!
[17:50] Fuji
    And that's your answer?
[17:53] Nanbu
    Please!
[18:01] Fuji
    Fair enough.
[18:05] Fuji
    But we need to settle up
    over this little incident.
[18:09] Fuji
    I figure that last eyeball
    of yours should cover it.
[18:18] Nanbu
    Wh-What about the kid?
[18:20] Nanbu
    What happens to my partner?
[18:23] Fuji
    That's the ace up your sleeve, huh?
[18:26] Fuji
    Using your only piece as a sacrificial pawn...
[18:29] Fuji
    You've fallen low, haven't you, Mr. Nanbu?
[18:37] Fuji
    Don't worry about him.
[18:39] Fuji
    We're going to be profiting
    off your partner until he's dead.
[18:43] Fuji
    In my ring.
[18:46] (Flashback) JD
    Get me into his ring. Please.
[18:51] (Flashback) Yuri
    If you're serious about fighting me again...
[18:54] (Flashback) Yuri
    then fight your way up to me.
[18:56] (Flashback) Yuri
    And my ring.
[18:59] Nanbu
    His ring...
[19:04] Nanbu
    That's right.
[19:06] Nanbu
    My partner's not gonna
    be fighting in your ring!
[19:11] Nanbu
    I can pay you back in full
    once he wins this tournament!
[19:26] JD
    So, did you handle it, Pops?
[19:32] JD
    Hey, you listening?
[19:36] Nanbu
    Shut up for a sec!
[19:38] Nanbu
    I'm trying to think. Don't interrupt.
[19:44] JD
    What happened?
[19:46] JD
    Are we off the hook for what happened?
[19:52] Nanbu
    Megalonia.
[19:56] Nanbu
    Yeah, you heard me.
[19:58] Nanbu
    You're getting what you want, you little bastard!
[20:01] Nanbu
    We've gotta enter Megalonia now!
[20:04] Nanbu
    No matter what!
[20:07] JD
    Do I get to fight him? Fight Yuri?
[20:10] Nanbu
    You don't get it, do you?!
[20:12] Nanbu
    We only have three months!
[20:16] Nanbu
    In only three months...
[20:18] Nanbu
    We have to make it into
    the tournament, and then win it.
[20:28] JD
    Just gotta win, right?
[20:32] JD
    I'm not losing again.
[20:35] JD
    Not until I get my hands on Yuri again.
[20:58] Forger
    Poor guy...
[21:00] Forger
    He misses a few payments on his debts,
    and he gets chopped up, his organs sold off...
[21:05] Forger
    And now his whole identity
    is about to be overwritten.
[21:08] Fuji
    This is all the help you'll get from me.
[21:11] Fuji
    The rest depends on you two.
[21:14] Fuji
    Isn't that right, Mr. Nanbu?
[21:18] (Flashback) Fuji
    Are you serious?
[21:21] (Flashback) Fuji
    What the hell can a pair of frauds do?
[21:25] (Flashback) Nanbu
    I've got a plan. We'll win.
[21:32] (Flashback) Nanbu
    I've been risking my life on
    bluffs for a long damn time now!
[21:36] (Flashback) Nanbu
    I'll show you exactly
    what we frauds can do!
[21:44] Forger
    That just leaves a new name,
[21:48] Forger
    and we'll have a freshly minted citizen.
[21:56] Nanbu
    It's your name. You pick it.
[22:00] JD
    Me?
[22:08] JD
    Joe.
[22:11] Nanbu
    Joe...
[22:13] Nanbu
    Joe, huh?
[22:15] Fuji
    Joe...
[22:17] Nanbu
    Has a nice ring to it.
[22:20] Nanbu
    I guess that's your new ring name.
[22:24] Fuji
    Then it's settled.
SIGN    Round 2
    "The Man Only Dies Once"
    "No man has ever died twice," mumbled the gambler.
