[music ends]

[groaning]

[shocked gasping]

Noble Elder! How do you feel?

[groans weakly]

Like crap.

[knocking on door]

- [Kureha] Good morning, Noble Elder.
- [groans softly] Sorry about this.

I'd like to run a few more tests.

We'll need to keep you here
a little longer.

NEW STUDENTS WELCOME

[camera shutters clicking]

[narrator] Akio Mani, the Oriental
and Pacific super welterweight champion.

One last thing.

You've never lost even a single fight!

And what's more, all 14 of your fights
ended in first-round knockouts!

So the number of matches fought
is the same as your number of rounds!

Is that something you've tried to do?

I don't have any interest
in those kinds of numbers at all.

What I keep my focus on

is strictly the business
of what goes on inside the ring.

In that space,
I don't wanna waste any time.

[impressed gasping]

[Mani] I watch my opponent's actions
and react in the way that is most logical.

If I'm correct,
then three minutes is all I'll need.

Then are you predicting

that you'll win this next match
in one round?

One round? You bet I will.

[chuckling from crowd]

[man 1] Thank you, Mani!

[man 2] Go get 'im, Champ!

[man 3] Can't wait for the match!

[Akio sighs heavily]

I hate all of that commotion.

[laughs heartily]

[grunting]

[gasps]

- [Mani] What the hell?
- [dramatic music sting]

Oh, uh...

Mm, well, I think that was just a...

That can't be.

Someone destroyed a heavy bag
with a single hit?

That makes no sense.

Well, it's unusual, that's for sure.

Who did it?

Over there, facing the mirror.

[tense music playing]

Let me spar with 'im.

Huh?! What do ya want with him?

He can handle it. I'm sure.

[grunts uneasily]

Don't worry. I won't hurt him.

Yes?

Would you be interested
in sparring with one of my fighters?

Sure, that would be fine with me.

Which one did you have in mind?

Hey! With me, over here!

Hm?

Sorry, not with him.

[gasps]

Are you really saying no? You won't fight?

Fighting him would be
too much of a handicap for me.

I'd be forced to hold back.

I couldn't use
my full strength against him.

[shocked grunting]

[confused murmuring]

It could even be fatal! For him.

Never underestimate martial arts.

Somebody get this man some gloves.

That wasn't too smart!

Look out, 'cause you're finished now!

You're about to learn!
Boxing and kung fu are different!

You're the one
doing all the underestimating!

Oh, and Mr. kung fu?
You're allowed to kick too.

If you can kick, that is.

[coach] C'mon, Mani!

I thought it was just boxing
you were interested in.

[groaning uneasily]

I don't plan on kicking.
There's no need for it.

But all the same,
this is going to be dangerous for you.

I can't believe this!

What are you jerks waiting for?

Get some gloves on this guy already,

so I don't have to hear him
keep yammering away!

[Retsu] Coach,
a minute ago, I heard you say

that boxing and kung fu
are different disciplines.

You're wrong about that.

Because boxing uses the fists,
it can be considered kung fu!

But it's still incomplete.

Hm.

[Retsu] I'll now show you

definitive proof of this.

- Begin!
- [gasps]

[tense music playing]

[narrator] One who is
supremely comfortable in a situation

is said to be "in his element."

Asked about that day,

Coach Genichi Fukamachi would say
that he had had a bad feeling

because the one-legged fighter's stance
showed that he was in his element.

[short, sharp breathing]

[Retsu grunts]

- [impact thud]
- [Mani grunts]

[shocked gasping]

- [man 1] What?
- [man 2] No way!

[confused muttering]

[shocked gasping]

I saw that!

[shocked gasping and muttering]

- [man 3] That was incredible.
- [man 4] Dang, he's strong.

Right hook?

I didn't even see it.

[shocked murmuring]

[dramatic music sting]

- [Fukamachi] Hey, you.
- Hmm?

What're you here for?

For training.

What kind of training? Huh?

'Cause what we do here
is strictly boxing training.

Indeed.

[Fukamachi] So you better get busy
doin' some proper boxing!

Jumping rope, shadowboxing,
the sandbag, working the speedball!

Box the right way,
or there's no damn point!

That so?

Then how come your proper boxer
just went down like a sack of potatoes?

[angry grunting]

There's no better way than fighting
to justify your opinion.

If you're so certain your way is correct,
then show me I'm wrong.

Show me a proper boxer
who's so strong that I'm no match for him.

[angry grunting]

And if your man can knock me down,

I'll jump rope, shadowbox,
punch your speedball,

or even stand on my head
and do a dance, if you want me to.

[Fukamachi] Now, just...

Your logic is flawless, friend.

You don't win because you're correct.
You're correct because you win.

Coach. we have to accept being losers.

At least for today.

But I'm sure you understand this, pal.

Today, you've turned
all the boxers in the world against you.

SHINSHINKAI HEADQUARTERS
THE WAY OF KARATE

[sighs heavily] Hmm.

[grunting]

[Katsumi] Don't think of it
as having lost something

[grunts]

You haven't lost something.

You've obtained something.

What? What have I obtained?

Being one-armed.

My own original one-armed style!

[grunts]

[gasps]

Huh? How?

[Baki grunts]

I know the building's doors
are locked at this hour.

So I have to assume
that you snuck in through a window.

Well, that was a pain in the ass,

climbing all the way up here
to the ninth floor.

You're something else, Baki Hanma!

So, what brings you here to see me?

[Baki] You're amazing, Katsumi.

It hasn't been that long
since you lost that arm,

but you are already mastering a new style.

Well, I'm tryin'.

And I'll admit that it's been hard.

But I don't think about the loss.

I concentrate just
on what I've gained instead.

In the world of sword fighting,

they strive to master
the use of a single sword.

But that doesn't make it
in any way inferior

to the two-sword method of fighting.

There are plenty of men
who fought and lost more than me.

I choose to see it like this.

There has to be something positive
that I can take away

from finding myself with only one arm.

Right?

[chuckles]
You're really incredible, Katsumi!

It's been a little tough for me,
being the son of a big shot.

A father-and-son fight like none other
in the history of the world!

Just a bunch of hype!

Come on, what do you expect?

Yujiro Hanma versus Baki Hanma?
Just think about it, man!

The world's never seen
a matchup like that.

Fact is I don't even hate him anymore.

But I still think I'm gonna fight him.

I wonder why?

D'you really need a reason?

Good point.

Even if I did understand,
there'd be no stopping it now.

The fact that we're father and son,

that's enough, isn't it?

Whoa! That's wild.

You're father and son, that's true.

Hmph.

[Katsumi] And that's enough.

[groaning wearily]

[Mitsunari] It's spread everywhere!

Wait. Did you say "boxing"?

Yes. You heard me right.

But why that?

Retsu's already reached
the title of "Sea King" in kung fu,

so what would be the point?

Why start boxing?

He won't be boxing.

Ahh!

Sea King Retsu
will still remain Sea King Retsu,

and get in the ring
fighting Sea King Retsu-style.

Okay...

He's not gonna use boxing techniques.

He'll work his way up
using only kung fu skills.

Boxing's really that easy, huh?

Ahh!

No, of course it isn't easy.

Mastering it is as hard
as any other discipline.

"Punch without getting punched."

This simple game has existed unchanged
for over 150 years.

Kung fu has a 4,000-year history.

There's no need
to defend its value or influence.

Boxing is a modern sport by comparison,

having existed
for only a century and a half,

but there's nothing slack about it.

Objectively, though,

its rapid development
cannot be compared to that of kung fu.

This western method can be harsh.

It will test the present version
of Sea King Retsu.

And his future too.

What's he weigh? Retsu?

[Katsumi] 106 kilos.

Is that it!

Can he win?

Well, according to him,

yes.

At least until he loses.

[chuckling] Man!

SHINSHINKAI HEADQUARTERS

[Baki] He's an idiot.

CENTER BOXING GYM
NEW STUDENTS WELCOME

[boxers grunting]

[timer buzzing]

- [Fukamachi] Hey, Retsu.
- Yes?

Go get some gloves on.

Sparring session. Get ready.

Against who?

Hey, listen, pal.
You're just a student here.

So do what you're told and don't
be asking me any questions, you got that?

Understood.

Sorry if I was
a little rough on you earlier.

But that's a part of my job.

I gotta show you
we mean business around here.

This guy's probably
exactly what you're lookin' for.

An opponent you can fight
with all your strength,

but one your skills won't work so good on.

An honest-to-god heavyweight.

He was in the military
until three years ago.

He used to come from the base
to practice here.

Since he's so big,
he couldn't debut in Japan.

But he did debut in his home country
after he got out of the service.

He's nine for nine with eight knockouts.

He knocked out all of his opponents
except in his debut match.

He came back here to his old haunt
the other day to get ready.

As you can see, in his weight,
his technique, his career record,

heck, in everything,

he's better than you in every single way.

Here's your chance
to learn something! Suit up!

I don't need any headgear.

I've heard that one a few times before.

But I'm not havin' anyone die
in my gym today.

[Retsu] Huh?

Try not to die.

[timer buzzes]

[Retsu] I see what Coach is talking about.

It's obvious he's got a lot of talent.

And his frame is massive.

He must outweigh me by 20, no, 30 pounds.

Yet despite that, for someone his size,

his footwork is smooth and fast.

And that reach.

[grunts]

- Oh!
- What a hit!

Oh man!

- No way!
- Whoa...

[impressed muttering continues]

[Retsu] Hmm.

I see.

Now I see.

His speed, excellent.

His power, excellent.

Hmph.

[Retsu chuckles]

His grip? Weak.

[narrator] Combat sports
are not based on street fighting.

As long as rules dictate
the use of boxing gloves,

it is inevitable
that the attributes of the glove

will be used as weapons.

Hence, compared to
barehanded karate and kung fu,

the boxer's grip is weaker.

Retsu, who lives by martial arts alone,

perceived the weakness
in his opponent's grip

just from the feel of his punch.

[Retsu] Now for his reach.

[grunting]

[groans softly]

[gasps]

[shocked gasping]

[Retsu grunts loudly]

[dramatic music playing]

[narrator] The thickest and strongest bone
in the human body

is the front of the skull.

A clenched fist consists
of 27 large and small slivers of bone.

Because every part of the boxer's fist
had not been individually trained,

its destruction was inevitable.

[Yujiro] You met with Baki, huh?

So? What did he have to say?

[chewing noisily]

[Strydum] He wants to see you.

[Yujiro] What for?

[Strydum] I think Baki's changed.

And what he wants to do with you is...

[shocked gasping]

[Yujiro grunts angrily]

How dare that little bastard
suggest such a thing?!

- [dramatic music playing]
- [pained grunting]

[Fukamachi] His hand
is completely shattered!

And Retsu's still not finished!

[shocked gasping]

[Retsu] Time to end this.

[Fukamachi] What the hell
is he gonna do from that stance?!

[Retsu] Three!

- [shocked gasping]
- Two!

[narrator] Retsu was aiming,
not at the boxer's weak spot,

but at the humerus bone
in his blocking arm!

[Retsu grunts loudly]

[narrator] The boxer's humerus took
the full force of Retsu's punch.

And with that, the legend
of the boxer Sea King Retsu had begun!

[angrily] Did those words really come out
of that arrogant little jerk's mouth?!

Come on, calm down, Ogre.
You're scaring everyone in the restaurant.

[fearful gasping]

[angry groaning]

[Yujiro] Strydum.

I want all the details.

I was just as surprised by it as you are
because the request came out of nowhere.

[Strydum] Wh-What the hell?!

What did you just say?!

You heard me.

Do you have any idea
how abnormal that request is?

Yeah, you know what?

You acting like you didn't just hear
what I clearly said

is what's really abnormal.

Uh...

Yeah, I get what you're saying...

So, then, what's so damn crazy about it?

I just want to share a nice meal
with my own father.

What's the big problem with that?

Ya saying a son can't do
something like that?

Nothing weird about it!

I agree with you.

- No you said...
- Baki.

Don't act so innocent.

You know perfectly well
that what you're asking for is outrageous.

Baki Hanma and Yujiro Hanma,

the two of them actually sharing a table?

Just the thought of that is shocking!

It's... it's so unnatural

that I can't even picture it!

[solemn music playing]

[Baki] To cook some rice.

Heat up some miso soup.

Take some time to enjoy a simple meal.

Hell, make some small talk.

And dessert would be nice.

Maybe even a little scoop of ice cream.

We'd laugh and say,
"Man, how good is this?" [chuckling]

That kinda stuff.

Stuff normal people talk about
when they get together.

Sometimes when normal people talk,
they argue.

It's not easy to change Dad's mind.

[imitating Yujiro] "Agh!
Hey, Baki, you idiot!"

"Maybe you need me to kick your head in
so you can start thinking right!"

[as himself] Any new idea,
he just rejects.

And, of course,
I won't give any ground either.

"Dad, you're always like this!"

"You don't listen to any opinion
that's different than yours!"

Baki...

"You are so narrow-minded!"

Baki...

[as Yujiro] "Don't you go
and smart off to me, ya punk!"

- " I'll tear you a new..."
- Baki!

[Baki sighs]

[Strydum] Tell me.

Do you really believe
the Yujiro Hanma you're imagining exists?

The kind of normal bickering
and chatter you're talking about.

The ordinary things
that ordinary families enjoy.

Those are things that don't exist
for you and your father.

[Baki sighs]

Sorry.

Why is it always me?

Hmm?

Why's it always have to be me
that ends up cooking the rice?

Dads gotta step up,

and for once be the one
who cooks the rice.

Hm?! [confused grunting]

Huh?

You never can predict
what might happen in this world.

But that is never going to happen!

[classical music playing
quietly in background]

[fearful gasping]

He said he wants what?

Me to cook rice?!

- Hmm?
- [Yujiro seethes]

[nervous groaning]

[Yujiro] Cook rice, huh?

[theme music playing]
