Original subtitles

200 years ago,

in Okinawa there was a legendary karate master.

His name was Sojiro Kurenai.

His fists were the strongest of all.

Even a single hit would be impossible to survive.

His Kurenai Karate...

Even China and samurais

feared this deadly master.

The strongest karate master. Sojiro became a legend.

And his black belt became a legendary token.

Time has passed.

One man has inherited Sojiro's black belt.

Tatsuya Kurenai, one of Sojiro's descendants.

Now, Tatsuya's black belt is in danger.

This man is Shu Tagawa.

His goal is to control Kurenai Karate all over the world.

He took hostages, Tatsuya's daughters.

Tagawa is after one special thing.

Take him down! Get Sojiro's black belt!

This is Kurenai Karate.

It exists for protection.

Tatsuya's furious fist went through Tagawa's body.

Ayaka Kurenai, the older one. was killed.

Ayaka...

Natsuki Kurenai. the younger one, was taken.

Natsuki...

They also took Sojiro's legendary black belt.

This story starts here.

Dad?

Dad! Dad!

Dad!

Ayaka...

You can't stay here.

Never come back here.

Let no one touch...

this real belt.

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Welcome.

Popcorn and iced tea?

Ms. Ikegami, good work.

Manager, thank you.

Take the information desk. I'll handle things here.

Yes. sir.

Help me!

My purse! Somebody, stop them!

Stop them!

Excuse me.

Bro, you alright?

You. bitch!

Excuse me. Let me through.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

She's super cool.

Oh my god! What was that?

She used karate. I'm sure.

Can I take a picture with you?

We are very sorry for this trouble.

At theater #5 the movie's

as well as at #7 & #8.

If you have your tickets,

please go ahead to your theater.

Thank you all.

Please, go ahead.

Staff. too. Go back to work.

Are you okay?

My body just reacted on instinct.

So you're okay. You scared me.

I shouldn't have. Totally not.

Not your fault. You did a good thing.

But now people know you do karate.

Some were taking your picture.

Even the boss was excited.

I know. I don't like that. I really mean it.

I don't want people to know about that.

Ayaka.

I hate to say this but...

You know about your dad...

What about quitting karate?

Nothing but trouble, eh?

You're right. Only trouble.

But I can only feel Dad when I'm doing karate.

It's the boss.

Hello.

Really? Seriously?

What?

I can't. I'm sorry.

But...

I understand. Then just to show my face.

Where is that?

Okay, I will. Goodbye.

What was it?

Seems my video is already on the net.

"Super Karate Girl kicks Purse-Snatchers' Ass!"

Really? That's bad.

He said there was a karate school owner in the crowd.

and asked about me joining their special karate camp.

Just tell him no.

Of course I did.

But he was kinda begging me, so I said okay.

But is that okay?

Well... Only for a short time.

So, you're coming with me.

No. I don't like martial arts.

Okay.

You roped me in again.

We've got orders for martial art instructors.

2 from Russian terrorists

and 1 from the ClA.

And, let me tell you about Sho.

He did great in the Middle East.

They want him back next year.

Sho...

Then charge them twice.

Certainly, sir.

Also. from South America. there's a request for Keith at all costs.

He's in charge here. He works here. nowhere else.

But saying they're ready to pay any price.

The limitless value of Kurenai Karate.

But they can't have him. Recommend another.

Certainly, sir.

Sit down.

Bow to the chairman.

Karate is for killing.

You must kill your enemy.

You lose, you die.

It's showtime.

He's going to pay for his error in the US.

Is he still alive?

These days there is much more of a need for kids.

They look young but they're very skilled martial artists.

Well-taught to kill.

People let their guards down with kids.

So. our business will have a huge expansion.

Absolutely. Spent 10 years on this project.

These kids will be ready soon for actual use.

I see. Keep up the good work.

Certainly.

Form practice...

How outdated.

Stop her!

Teach her new skills.

The other day, we talked about our business expansion.

What about it?

We're doing well in the international munitions industry.

since you're the successor of the legendary Sojiro Kurenai.

It's of great market value for us

to have Sojiro's belt to prove it.

We should expand faster.

Social conflicts. Political conflicts.

Accept private matters, if they pay well.

Faster is better.

But interesting...

never thought martial arts could make this kind of money.

Japanese think of karate as just a safe sport.

It's not martial arts or karate making money.

Our business does well

due to

Exactly.

Great job, Keith.

We're having guests from the US next week.

Give a karate demonstration and interpret for him.

You may leave.

He always scares me.

I feel dead just being around him.

I wonder how he's gonna feel

if I tell him this belt is a fake.

What did you just say?

Nothing.

Tell Keith what?

No.

I'm very sorry, sir.

Come here.

Tatsuya Kurenai...

He made me a cripple and

fooled me with the wrong belt.

How much more can you do to me?

Muto.

The real belt must exist somewhere. Find it.

Yes. sir.

Working on it. His relatives,

friends, anybody we can think of.

With Sojiro's real belt, I can be perfect.

Do anything to get it.

Yes. sir.

Actually, I have a report on that issue.

A schoolgirl part-timer in Yokohama

used karate to catch a few purse-snatchers.

"Ayaka lkegami, 18 years old,"

"from Yokohama. Actually, a karate expert."

18 is too young to be a karate expert.

This kick... Iooks genuine.

I'll read it one more time.

"Ayaka lkegami, 18 years old, from Yokohama."

"Actually, a karate expert."

Don't you notice anything?

Notice what?

Ayaka lkegami...

Ayaka?

Yes. Ayaka is the name of Tatsuya's older daughter.

Same name. same characters. A coincidence?

What are you suggesting?

So she is a Kurenai?

No way. She's dead.

But if she's alive. the age matches too.

The girl didn't die?

I can't believe that.

But what if this girl is really a Kurenai...

and what if she kept the real belt....

If she produces the real belt,

our business is finished.

Do a check on her! Right now!

Yes. sir.

Sojiro's black belt is mine.

I will have it in my hands.

Are you sure about this?

Sure. I can do it so I said, yes.

Might be nice to show Daddy's karate.

I see.

Well, everyone.

As you already know, I saw her the other day.

In front of me, she caught two purse-snatchers.

She's the Super Karate Girl, Ms. Ayaka lkegami.

These days, karate is not so popular to learn.

But a pretty young girl

Iike you doing karate.

That's a great news, it helps karate.

Don't you think?

Ms. Ikegami, will you give them a special tip on how to win a match?

Ayaka.

Hello everyone. I'm Ayaka lkegami.

Nice to join you today.

Sorry, I'm not wearing a uniform.

She's cute.

My father taught me karate.

He passed away a long time ago...

He used to say this.

"When well-trained, a punch

or a kick can be dangerous."

"Like Japanese swords,

you can slice just with a touch."

"That's why you should never fight,"

"or ever use it."

"But if you are protecting

something important,"

"you can fight risking your life."

"lf you have fought only once in your life, that is good."

"lf you've never fought,

then your life is full of happiness."

Never fighting is the happiest thing?

Yes. Karate is for protection.

That's why all karate forms begin with taking an attack.

There's no first strike in karate.

My father taught me that.

Don't you have a special tip to win a match?

Excuse me?

He told me it takes at least 20 years to master karate.

There's no faster way in karate.

Why don't you show us something rather than giving a lecture.

Sorry.

Will you show them something just a little?

Well...

Stop talking. Show us something.

Please don't do forms.

Absolutely not. Not Naihanchi.

Ayaka, let's go back home.

If you leave,

that means I let my boys down. So please.

I understand.

Thank you so much.

Ayaka, are you sure?

Please, be quiet.

She'll show us some techniques.

I'll use that.

I need another man and another bottle.

Now, I begin.

Perfect kicks. She's a Dragon Lady.

She really blew our mind.

So, that's Ayaka Kurenai.

But is she real?

Shall we test her?

Is that karate? Seriously?

What? Who are you?

Can we have a practice match?

Karate is the martial art of dealing a death blow with one hit.

It's not for kids to play with.

A death blow with one hit? Sounds cool.

I'd love to learn that.

Are you scared of me? Then she can do it.

Get them!

Stop!

Do you care about these pieces of crap?

Ayaka, please don't.

I have to.

Why?

Because karate is for protection.

So, fighting with us?

Ayaka!

Are you okay?

Must not be Ayaka Kurenai.

How do you know her real name?

Wow. so she's the real one.

Then we've gotta get serious.

It was Ayaka Kurenai. The real one.

Tatsuya's daughter.

Impossible!

She was alive then.

Unbelievable. she didn't die.

Highly possible she has Sojiro's real belt.

Of course. she does. Let's go to her home.

Even we get the real belt,

her existence is a threat to us.

Take care of her!

Then shall we go to her home

to kill her and get the belt?

Are you insane? That's murder. It will get too much attention.

Do it right.

Use your brain!

The kids knew my name.

They said Ayaka Kurenai.

Since I joined your family when I was 8 years old,

I've never...

Never said Kurenai for 10 years.

Never returned to Okinawa.

I kept my karate as a secret.

No relatives know about me.

I'll call the police.

This is really dangerous, I think.

They were crazy, not joking.

Tell the police what?

During karate practice, some kids attacked us?

They don't care.

You're right.

We're home.

We need get this done, getting Sojiro's belt,

also killing the girl without being noticed.

You lose ' you die

Stop!

Use her.

Use Sakura. She's met Ayaka Kurenai, right?

Send Sakura to steal the belt.

But she is...

That's why she should.

I thought he was gonna kill us.

For protection...?

Ayaka Kurenai was saying karate is for protection.

What? Don't be stupid.

If someone heard you, you'll be killed.

Sojiro Kurenai is a legendary karate master.

He's your ancestor.

I'm sure both of you will be really strong.

Become strong to protect something or someone important.

Let no one touch this belt.

Help!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

You...

How did you know my name?

Is that Sojiro's black belt?

You know that?

Is karate for killing?

Or for protecting?

This is Kurenai's posture.

Never forget this.

If you see this posture, that means it's your friend.

Natsuki?

Are you Natsuki?

Do you recognize me?

Natsuki!

Natsuki...

They're after your belt.

I see.

What?

As we thought, she has Sojiro's black belt.

I see.

So that girl really has it.

Sojiro's actual belt.

Another issue. Ayaka Kurenai realized,

Sakura is her little sister. Probably Sakura did too.

Really? That's not good.

No problem.

What?

A dramatic reunion of sisters. How nice.

They should enjoy the drama before being killed together.

The belt will be yours and the Kurenai bloodline will end.

That would make you...

the successor of Sojiro Kurenai for real, Mr. Tagawa.

Soon the real belt will be mine.

The black belt of Sojiro Kurenai!

Bow to each other.

Feel the breath. Breathe together and move together.

Breathe together, energy together.

That's KlAl.

KlAl together. Begin!

This KlAl is only for the Kurenais.

Breathe more to move bigger.

This is the Kurenai posture. Do not forget.

Past martial artists told friend from enemy by their postures.

So you see the posture, it's your friend.

Got it?

Natsuki?

Are you Natsuki?

Did you get the belt?

Did you fail?

You know the rules.

He's far better than you. Lose, if you want to die.

Win, if you want to live.

What is that posture?

She's stronger.

What happened?

Is that the Kurenai blood?

Tell me. Am l...

Who am l?

You must know that now.

You're Natsuki Kurenai.

Little sister of Ayaka Kurenai.

Little sister...

We killed your father.

For stealing the legendary belt.

It was 10 years ago. We stole you too.

So we can make you a profitable killing doll.

I'm not a doll.

You're a doll.

Everything you've learned in this decade was...

karate for killing.

No!

You little shit.

Ayaka Kurenai, you know who this is.

Natsuki...

If you want her back,

bring Sojiro's belt.

Hey, why don't you ask her? Do it. Sakura.

Don't come!

Little shit!

Natsuki...

I will...

I have to protect her.

You came, Ayaka Kurenai.

I want Natsuki.

Natsuki?

You mean... Sakura?

Pretty good, isn't she? We trained her for a decade.

I want Natsuki now!

Where is the belt?

I have it here. but...

You can't touch it.

What did you say?

How stupid.

She's dead whether she hands it over or not.

And you too, Sakura.

She's gonna be killed by Keith for sure.

You should watch it. your sister beaten to death.

Natsuki! Can you hear me?

I came here to get you out of here!

Shut up!

Natsuki!

Sister.

Impressive, Ayaka Kurenai.

You'll be dead.

Sojiro Kurenai's karate...

Mr. Tagawa owns that karate.

So you came here. Ayaka Kurenai.

Where is she?

Keith!

I have to win.

Sister.

Natsuki.

Recognize me?

Finally together, the Kurenai sisters.

Sister. it's him.

This man killed my father.

And ruined my sister's life.

He desecrated Kurenai Karate.

I'll never...

We'll never forgive him.

Give it to me.

Give me Sojiro's black belt!

My black belt...

Sojiro's black belt...

You lied

Keith. wait. We'll get it now, anyway.

Go to hell!

Kurenai Karate.

Wait. What are you gonna do to me?

I'm crippled. You can't kill me.

Sakura. don't do that to me. I raised you for 10 years.

Right?

Let's go. Natsuki.

"Ayaka Kurenai"

"Natsuki Kurenai"
