[00:29] Radio
    We're at the target point.
[00:30] Radio
    Intel says that the enemy force
    has pulled out, but stay on your toes.
[00:34] Radio
    The priority is evacuating
    any civilians still in the area.
[00:37] Radio
    Commence search operations now.
[01:14] (Flashback) Aragaki
    No way...
[03:20] Nanbu
    I still can't believe it.
[03:22] Nanbu
    I never thought I'd see you again, Aragaki.
[03:28] Aragaki
    Right. Likewise.
[03:30] Aragaki
    I still can't believe I made it
    back from that hell of a war...
[03:37] Nanbu
    This might sound insincere
    coming from a hustler like me,
[03:40] Nanbu
    but it's an actual miracle.
[03:42] Nanbu
    You being here, with me again.
[03:46] Nanbu
    Just like back in the good old days.
[03:53] Aragaki
    Don't look down like that.
[03:56] Aragaki
    I want you to know that it saved me,
    the Megalo Boxing you taught me.
[04:02] Nanbu
    You must've had it rough...
[04:08] Aragaki
    Would it be all right if I showed you
    my gratitude, Coach Nanbu?
[04:13] Nanbu
    Hell no, I don't deserve that.
[04:16] Nanbu
    Just being able to see you
    alive again is plenty.
[04:19] Nanbu
    Not to mention, you're ranked 17th,
[04:22] Nanbu
    and willing to fight Joe,
    who's just starting out...
[04:25] Nanbu
    I don't know where to begin to thank you.
[04:28] Aragaki
    I've decided I wanted to destroy him.
[04:31] Aragaki
    This new fighter that you've
    put your time into bringing up.
[04:39] Nanbu
    What are you saying?!
[04:44] Aragaki
    It's time for you to pay your
    portion of the debt...
[04:47] Aragaki
    for the things I've lost.
[04:54] Joe
    What did you just say, Pops?
[04:57] Joe
    Hey, Pops!
[04:59] Sachio
    He must just be tired...
[05:01] Sachio
    He was on his feet all day in his good
    shoes, which he barely even wears.
[05:04] Sachio
    Can't blame him for getting a little anxious...
[05:07] Joe
    What the hell do you mean,
    we're not doing the fight?!
[05:10] Nanbu
    I'm not saying it won't happen.
    But it's a possibility.
[05:13] Nanbu
    In case something else turns up, where we
    can make it through without this match.
[05:17] Joe
    Don't give me that bullshit!
[05:19] Joe
    This is our chance to get into
    the top of the ranking!
[05:22] Joe
    Isn't this what we've been betting on?!
[05:24] Nanbu
    And it's not a good bet if
    the outcome is obvious!
[05:28] Joe
    You saying I'm gonna lose?
[05:32] Nanbu
    I'm saying it's not gonna be easy.
[05:35] Nanbu
    Not the way you are now.
[05:40] Nanbu
    A fighter who knows
    everything I have to teach...
[05:44] Nanbu
    has shown up again.
[05:47] Nanbu
    And he hasn't changed a bit.
[05:50] Sachio
    I dunno about that, actually.
[05:56] Sachio
    Aragaki was a soldier, right?
[05:59] Sachio
    He lost both his legs in an explosion
[06:01] Sachio
    while he was stationed at the front, it says.
[06:05] Sachio
    He was missing in action for a while,
[06:08] Sachio
    but was eventually found,
    and returned home a year later.
[06:20] Nanbu
    He... fights in this condition?
[06:23] Aragaki
    It's time for you to pay your
    portion of the debt...
[06:26] Aragaki
    for all the things I've lost.
[06:36] Nanbu
    Joe.
[06:38] Nanbu
    This fight is too risky.
[06:40] Nanbu
    I'm not trying to chicken out, but—
[06:41] Joe
    I'm fighting him.
[06:47] Joe
    We're going to Megalonia.
[06:51] Joe
    Isn't that right?
[06:59] Sachio
    Pops...
[07:18] Nanbu
    Your punches are first rate.
[07:20] Nanbu
    But if you're not in the right range,
    they lose a lot of their impact.
[07:24] Nanbu
    We've gotta drill the correct
    distance into you.
[07:30] Nanbu
    There you go!
SIGN    Team Nowhere
[07:31] Nanbu
    No special plan is gonna help this time.
[07:33] Nanbu
    We've just gotta polish
    everything you've built so far.
[07:45] Joe
    Yo!
[07:46] Fishermen
    Yo!
[07:50] Sachio
    Welcome back.
[07:53] Joe
    Where's Pops?
[07:54] Sachio
    He said he was going out.
[07:56] Sachio
    The old guy was mumbling the whole time
    he was making the miso soup.
[08:07] Sachio
    So salty!
[08:09] Joe
    Works for me.
[08:16] Joe
    You oughta exercise once in a while
    instead of messing with machines all day.
[08:23] Sachio
    I don't really do the whole exercise thing.
[08:28] Sachio
    I've been looking into Aragaki's background
    from his records at the Veteran's Association.
[08:32] Sachio
    His first Megalo Box match was ten years ago.
[08:35] Sachio
    Ten matches, all ending with one-round KOs.
[08:37] Sachio
    Looked like he had a clear path to the top,
[08:39] Sachio
    but because he was in the reserves,
    he got called up and sent overseas for duty.
[08:44] Sachio
    Look at this, Joe.
[08:46] Sachio
    It's only been three years
    since he started fighting again,
[08:48] Sachio
    but he's made it so far in the rankings...
[08:51] Sachio
    If he hadn't stopped fighting
    for so long, he might've just...
[08:57] Sachio
    Wait, are these his opponents
    from after he came back?
[09:00] Sachio
    Why would he be so brutal?
[09:03] Sachio
    This stuff Pops said about
    him wanting to destroy you...
[09:07] Sachio
    He might've really meant it.
[09:34] Vets
    So, is he conscious?
[09:35] Vets
    Yeah. They found him pretty fast.
[09:38] Vets
    His life isn't in any danger.
[09:40] Vets
    Let's get to the hospital
    before his family shows up.
[09:49] Miyagi
    Most of these graves are filled with
    young men who've taken their own lives.
[09:57] Miyagi
    They return home, hoping
    to return to their lives...
[10:00] Miyagi
    But the things they've seen just
    won't leave their memories.
[10:09] Miyagi
    Aragaki lost everything to the war.
[10:13] Miyagi
    His mind and his body.
[10:16] Miyagi
    But even then, he thought
    he had a place he could return to.
[10:23] Miyagi
    He thought that you would be
    the one person waiting for him.
[10:28] Miyagi
    But that small hope amounted
    to nothing, in the end.
[10:30] Nanbu
    It's not like that. I thought he was dead...
[10:34] Miyagi
    I know that he was reported killed in action.
[10:37] Miyagi
    But you never tried to confirm
    what happened to him.
[10:41] Miyagi
    That was all it took for you
    to give up, wasn't it?
[10:50] Miyagi
    He's told me he doesn't want to see you.
[10:53] Nanbu
    Wait a minute.
[10:55] Nanbu
    Can you tell him something for me?
[10:58] Nanbu
    It's fine if he hates my guts...
[11:01] Nanbu
    but don't bring those
    feelings into this match.
[11:05] Miyagi
    You don't intend to ask for forgiveness?
[11:09] Nanbu
    We just ended up going
    in different directions.
[11:25] Miyagi
    What exactly do you want?
[11:27] Miyagi
    I thought you wanted to enter Megalonia
    with the legs that gave you your life back.
[11:34] Miyagi
    If that's what you want,
[11:35] Miyagi
    you should cancel this match and
    fight someone from the upper ranks.
[11:41] Miyagi
    There's still time.
[11:44] Aragaki
    We've been through this.
[11:46] Aragaki
    If I fight the famous "Gearless" Joe,
    that'll bring in more sponsors.
[11:51] Aragaki
    In other words, more money.
[11:53] Aragaki
    I'll be able to repay you and
    everyone else who's had my back.
[11:57] Miyagi
    We haven't been doing this because
    we expected compensation.
[12:03] Miyagi
    Nanbu came by, but I turned him away.
[12:06] Miyagi
    You're just jealous of his new student.
[12:12] Miyagi
    You're upset that he's in the place
    that belongs to you.
[12:16] Miyagi
    You need to leave the past in the past.
[12:18] Miyagi
    Doesn't it strike you as sad?
[12:21] Miyagi
    You're acting like a dog who
    was abandoned by its owner.
[12:25] Aragaki
    I appreciate what you've done for me,
[12:27] Aragaki
    but everyone has their circumstances.
[12:32] Aragaki
    It boils down to how you and I
    are different people.
[12:39] Miyagi
    You sound just like him.
SIGN    Area 13 Dog Racing Association

[13:45] Nanbu
    This is your home. Remember that.
[13:50] Nanbu
    I'll be waiting for you.
[14:23] Joe
    Hey.
[14:34] Sachio
    Where have you been, Pops?!
[14:37] Sachio
    Look here!
[14:40] Sachio
    Aragaki's Gear is designed to be lightweight.
[14:43] Sachio
    I don't think he has that big
    of a power advantage over Joe.
[14:47] Nanbu
    Even if it isn't a big difference,
    since Joe isn't wearing any Gear,
[14:51] Nanbu
    he's gonna have less power than Aragaki.
[14:53] Sachio
    But if they're so set on making
    sure his Gear is light,
[14:56] Sachio
    maybe it means he's worried about his stamina?
[14:58] Sachio
    I mean, he's over thirty.
[15:02] Nanbu
    He wants lighter Gear so it won't slow him down.
[15:07] Nanbu
    The speed he moves in and
    out with, his step work...
[15:10] Nanbu
    He's done all the training he can...
[15:12] Nanbu
    to compensate for any handicap
    those legs would give him otherwise.
[15:16] Nanbu
    More so than he ever did
    when I was with him.
[15:18] Sachio
    It's just one disadvantage after another...
[15:20] Sachio
    Whose side are you even on, Pops?
[15:25] Sachio
    I mean, one of your students
    is near the top of the ranking!
[15:29] Sachio
    How didn't you notice him sooner?
[15:33] Nanbu
    Shut up.
[15:38] Nanbu
    What do you want from me?
[15:40] Nanbu
    I thought he was dead until the other day.
[15:47] Nanbu
    I'd forgotten all about him...
[15:53] Nanbu
    Like he never even existed.
[15:58] Nanbu
    It's no wonder he hates me.
[16:01] Nanbu
    I buried his life, just because
    it was convenient for me.
[16:06] Nanbu
    I'm a damned traitor.
[16:10] Aragaki
    The Nanbu I know would've never tried
    something as gimmicky as fighting without Gear.
[16:16] Aragaki
    I'm honestly disappointed.
[16:18] Aragaki
    Though that might sound rude,
    considering you're his fighter.
[16:21] Joe
    I agree with you.
[16:23] Joe
    But I don't exactly hate the old man's bluffs.
[16:28] Aragaki
    You must trust him a lot.
[16:30] Joe
    He believed in me. So I'll believe in him.
[16:34] Joe
    Simple enough, right?
[16:37] Aragaki
    It's his nature to betray that
    kind of trust without hesitation.
[16:41] Aragaki
    I just hope that doesn't happen to you.
[16:45] Joe
    You saying it's Pops' fault
    your legs ended up like that?
[16:54] Joe
    He's got his life, and I've got mine.
[16:59] Joe
    You can blame whoever you want,
    but in the end, it's your call to make.
[17:04] Aragaki
    I don't think the two of us will see eye-to-eye.
[17:06] Joe
    Well, you wanna destroy me, don't you?
[17:09] Joe
    Go on ahead.
[17:13] Joe
    Just don't expect it to be easy.
[17:21] Nanbu
    You're putting too much
    weight on your front foot again!
[17:24] Nanbu
    You've gotta split it evenly!
[17:25] Nanbu
    Always keep that balance in mind!
[17:28] Nanbu
    See, if he dodges one of those,
    you'll be too slow to follow up!
[17:33] Nanbu
    Aragaki's fast when it comes to
    switching between attack and defense!
[17:36] Nanbu
    If you can't keep up, he'll be all over you!
[17:41] Nanbu
    What's wrong? You're not done yet!
[17:43] Joe
    Pops...
[17:45] Joe
    You still don't think I can win?
[17:49] Joe
    The Pops I know, even if he was lying,
    would at least tell me I could pull it off.
[17:55] Joe
    You've changed a lot.
[17:57] Joe
    You never gave a damn about me
    when we were in the underground.
[18:02] Nanbu
    I still don't, kid.
[18:05] Joe
    Oh, yeah?
[18:07] Joe
    Then I'll just win my own way.
[19:04] Sachio
    Man, what a crowd!
[19:06] Sachio
    There are people who wanted in
    so bad that they don't mind standing!
[19:09] Sachio
    Pops's plan has really paid off.
[19:13] Sachio
    Wait... where is he?
[19:15] Joe
    I dunno.
[19:17] Sachio
    He didn't seriously give up, did he?
[19:29] Miyagi
    You...
[19:32] Nanbu
    I'm begging you, Aragaki. Listen to me!
[19:33] Miyagi
    Enough!
[19:34] Corner
    Come on...
[19:35] Miyagi
    The fight's about to start!
    What's wrong with you?!
[19:37] Nanbu
    It's just like you thought!
[19:39] Nanbu
    I ran away.
[19:41] Nanbu
    I ran away from what we had back then.
[19:44] Nanbu
    So you can hate me, but not Joe!
[19:49] Nanbu
    Please, Aragaki!
