01:11一瞬の光を伏せ
01:17永遠の夢を見て
01:22ローリーガー
01:27Third round, 2 minutes 22 seconds K.O.
01:56The winner, Mashiba
01:57And that's how it all ended today
01:59Hmm
02:00It's just so hard to believe Miata lost
02:03Like they say, boxing certainly is an unpredictable sport
02:06Hey, big guy
02:08Did Mashiba step on his foot on purpose?
02:11Well, of course
02:12It's not unusual for a fighter to accidentally headbutt
02:15or trip over an opponent's foot
02:16But in this particular case
02:18He obviously did it on purpose
02:21What a jerk
02:22I could clock that guy
02:24We should be worried about Ippo now
02:25Huh?
02:26Hmm?
02:27He lost the one thing that kept him going
02:29Miata
02:30Miata
02:32Miata
02:34Miata
02:36Miata
02:37Miata
02:38Myata
02:38Miata
02:39Miata
02:40So, like I told you before, Mashiba's not coming in today.
03:07Sorry about the inconvenience.
03:10He needs to recover from yesterday's match.
03:13In that case, can we ask you a question?
03:16What are your thoughts concerning the accident in the second round?
03:19Ah, yes, the accident.
03:20Well, gentlemen, what can I say?
03:22Things like that happen all the time.
03:23I feel terrible about Mianna, but...
03:28Oh, it's Mashiba!
03:30Congratulations! Can you answer some questions?
03:32No.
03:33Hey, what are you doing here?
03:35Didn't I tell you to take the day off and get a little rest?
03:37Mashiba, that was just a marvelous fight yesterday.
03:39Any comments?
03:40Would you like to say anything regarding the finals?
03:43Oh, wait!
03:44We've heard that Miata's gonna be hospitalized for a while.
03:47I have to wonder if that bothers you.
03:49We hope he'll be back in the ring soon.
03:51But anyway, that certainly was a lucky break for you.
03:54Miata had you in the corner.
03:55And so, any comment?
04:00It was unintentional, right?
04:03Unintentional?
04:04You must be kidding.
04:06And Daddy's sad little loser threw the wimpiest punches I've ever felt.
04:10And you can tell him that from me.
04:14That little brat is just lucky hospitalization is all he got.
04:17What a jerk!
04:18He thinks boxing's the same as street fighting.
04:21He really did do it on purpose.
04:23It's disgusting!
04:25How can that guy live with himself?
04:26Hey, Mashiba.
04:38Looks like you're still hurting.
04:41Oh, you're still here.
04:43If you want to write that I did it on purpose, go ahead.
04:46Why don't you say I did it to teach that wimpy little punk what a tough sport boxing is?
04:51Well, I have to imagine you'd know better than anybody else whether Miata was really such a wimp, wouldn't you?
04:57But actually, I didn't come here to talk about the accident.
05:00Whatever the case, it was a great match.
05:02And the bottom line is, you won.
05:05But regardless of my opinion, I know a guy who's not exactly at peace with that.
05:11Makanouchi.
05:13He idolizes Miata.
05:14His dream was to fight him.
05:16He's been busting his butt night and day to meet him in the final.
05:18Well, naturally, he was there watching your match.
05:21I'm warning you, the kid's mad.
05:23He's gonna fight like hell.
05:25What do you think?
05:25You think you really got a chance?
05:32What's so funny?
05:39So I shattered his dream.
05:41Isn't that hilarious?
05:42I hurt his feelings and I can't join his best friend's club.
05:46Give me a break, will ya?
05:47The day I let a loser like that beat me is the day I die.
05:51Ha!
05:51Can I win?
05:52I'm seriously gonna kick his ass.
05:55Ha ha ha ha!
06:07Hey, Ippo!
06:09Whoa!
06:09Whoa, he is really picking up a lot of power.
06:14Hey, Ippo!
06:18Hmm.
06:20What do you think?
06:21Huh?
06:22Well, it looks to me like he's probably all right, but...
06:25Hmm?
06:27Hey there!
06:28Get a load of Ippo on the bags over there.
06:31Man, he's really wailing on those things.
06:32Huh?
06:33Ha ha ha ha!
06:35Ah!
06:35No, don't!
06:36Ah!
06:37What got me, Ippo?
06:38Take it easy!
06:39Have you gone nuts?
06:41You've been punching that bag ever since I left for my road work!
06:44Huh?
06:44Stop it!
06:45Ah!
06:46Stop it!
06:46I said stop!
06:47Ah!
06:47What do you think you're doing?
07:05Unbelievable.
07:06What in the hell were you thinking out there?
07:09His bones seem to be all right.
07:11Right now he won't even be able to do mitt punching.
07:14And we've only got a month until the match starts.
07:16Oh, I'm so sorry.
07:18Believe me, I understand how you feel.
07:21But you gotta use your head.
07:22If you carry around emotional baggage like getting revenge for Miata,
07:25you'll wind up getting killed by your intended victim!
07:30Well, if I ask you to cool off, I might be asking for too much too soon.
07:34But hey, at the very least, you should calm down enough to sit and start analyzing
07:38how you can flatten Mashiba when you get the chance.
07:41Ah, you know he's right.
07:42Why don't we just work on that?
07:44Hmm.
07:44Okay.
07:45Hey, let's start talking about how you're going to conquer Mashiba.
07:48Conquer?
07:49Just watch this.
07:55Here's the Eastern Japan rookie tournament, second round.
08:12Same tournament, third round.
08:13He uses the flicker jabs to get the opponent nailed down within his reach.
08:22Then he throws that hard chopping right straight to the chin.
08:25That's his typical KO pattern.
08:28A chopping right, huh?
08:29You gotta watch out for that.
08:31Looks like Hitman style's perfectly suited, almost custom made for him.
08:35But that Hitman style also happens to be his weakness.
08:39Huh?
08:40Sure, it's a great offensive weapon for maximizing your power, but it also frequently leaves a gap in your guard.
08:45For example, in here, right here, right here, right here, and right here.
08:57Do you see it?
08:58Oh, he dropped his left guard.
09:01Right.
09:02Good observation.
09:03His Hitman style puts the emphasis on offense, forcing the fighter to lower his left guard so he can throw those fast jabs.
09:10So as you can see, defense is sacrificed.
09:12That's why very few boxers with superior offensive power use his style.
09:17Mashiba's primary weapons are flicker jabs.
09:19Coupled with straight rights, plus long hooks from left and right.
09:22It's safe to assume that all his shots will come from long range.
09:25So tell me, Chief, what do you think his biggest weakness is, huh?
09:29This kind of fighting is vulnerable to attacks coming from the right, got it?
09:33If that's the case, you gotta aim at his chin.
09:35His knees got shaky after only one counterpunch from Miata, so that's his weak spot.
09:39Yeah, that's it.
09:40Knock him out with a straight right or a hook.
09:43Hey, you've got a chance.
09:44I don't think it's gonna be that easy.
09:47Hey, have faith.
09:48You can do it.
09:48Work hard and it'll pay off.
09:50Have faith in yourself.
09:51Okay.
09:52I think I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
09:54By the way.
09:55Huh?
09:56I just got one little question.
09:57How are you gonna get in close enough?
09:59Uh, how am I gonna do it?
10:01He'll just dive in, of course.
10:02It's simple.
10:03He did a great job of it when he fought against that crummy lowlife Hayami.
10:07Then why do you suppose Mashiba's other opponents couldn't just jump right in?
10:10Uh, well, now that you mention it.
10:13Epo, extend your arm.
10:15What?
10:16You mean, like this?
10:18Right, and now...
10:20That was an accident, sorry.
10:23That was not an accident.
10:24What did you go and do that for?
10:26Just think about it.
10:27Mashiba's got a very long reach and you've seen it in action.
10:30It's about the same length as mine, give or take an inch or two.
10:37The ugly truth is there's this much difference between his reach and yours.
10:41Ugh.
10:43Almost eight inches, so if you jump in like you usually do, well, your punches won't even touch him.
10:48What if you can't slip through his flicker jabs and it's all a big waste of time?
10:53Oh, man.
10:55Just when I thought that I had a chance.
10:57And there's no way you can master the strategy Miata used in such a short time.
11:01It'd be ideal if Epo could spar with someone who could throw flicker jabs.
11:04Shroom, shroom, shroom.
11:06Shroom, shroom, shroom, shroom, shroom, shroom, shroom.
11:09But you're up the creek on that one.
11:11I can't think of a living soul.
11:12Huh?
11:13He needs someone who really throws him, not just some imitator.
11:16Hey, I know that.
11:18Now who said you couldn't reach Mashiba?
11:20Huh?
11:21Kid, you have a very good ability to jump in quickly.
11:24You gotta dive in, kid, like Kimura said.
11:26Then you might catch him in a moment of weakness.
11:29So you're telling him to dive in head on?
11:31But chief, this guy sent so many opponents to the hospital.
11:34Well, it'll be crucial to make him fight at your ideal range.
11:37Obviously, Mashiba has the long-range advantage, and Epo has the advantage when fighting the inside game.
11:41So how close you can get and how much distance he can keep, that'll be the focus of the Battle of the Wills.
11:46Right.
11:47You're gonna be fighting a mental game.
11:49Whoever gets cold feet loses.
11:51That's what it's going to boil down to.
11:53It's really that simple, kid.
11:55Listen, if you can't stop whining about Miata, that's fine.
11:59Take out all that rage on Mashiba.
12:01I'll do my best.
12:02What? In-fighting's all I've got anyway.
12:05In a sense, I think it might actually be a good thing that you injured your fist.
12:09You need to work on your dart and dash.
12:11And since it can't use your fist, go out and do some running.
12:14Right. Starting now.
12:21So the strategy against flicker jabs is just to play it by ear.
12:24That's pretty much it.
12:25But let's face it, if he can't get past that barrage, he won't be able to even touch Mashiba.
12:32A difference of almost eight inches in our reach.
12:36I've got to move fast enough to bridge that gap in a flash.
12:39All right.
12:40I've got to move fast enough to bridge that gap in a flash.
12:43I've got to move fast enough to bridge that gap in a flash.
12:45I've got to move fast enough to bridge that gap in a flash.
12:46I've got to move fast enough to bridge that gap in a flash.
12:48I've got to move fast enough to bridge that gap in a flash.
12:49I've got to move fast enough to bridge that gap in a flash.
12:50I've got to move fast enough to bridge that gap in a flash.
12:51I've got to move fast enough to bridge that gap in a flash.
12:52I've got to move fast enough to bridge that gap in a flash.
12:53I've got to move fast enough to bridge that gap in a flash.
12:54I've got to move fast enough to bridge that gap in a flash.
12:55I've got to move fast enough to bridge that gap in a flash.
12:56I've got to move fast enough to bridge that gap in a flash.
12:58Let's go.
13:28I guess it's no surprise, but my legs feel so heavy from running day in and day out.
13:33But I've got to run more.
13:35Huh?
13:36I think I'll go get some pastries.
13:42I wonder what's wrong.
13:51She looks so down.
13:53Well, she did see Miyata lose to Mashiba.
13:55I'm sure it came as a big shock.
13:58Oh, be glad to help you.
14:01Let's see.
14:02Hmm.
14:08Um, hello there.
14:09Uh, what is it?
14:10Excuse me, but weren't you at Korakuen Hall the other day?
14:15You were rooting for Miyata, right?
14:18I was up there rooting for him, too.
14:20It sure was shocking, wasn't it?
14:22But I have no doubt in my mind he would have won if his opponent hadn't made that dirty foul.
14:29So really, it didn't reflect on his talent as a boxer.
14:32So don't feel bad.
14:33Stop it, please.
14:43Just stop it.
14:45Stop bad-mouthing my brother.
14:50You don't know him.
14:51You don't know what he's like.
14:52So how can you go around saying those terrible things?
14:56It's just not fair.
14:57Why does everybody have to make him out to be the bad guy?
15:05Give me a break.
15:07Every time you have a little problem, you come running to me.
15:10So, what is it this time?
15:12So, I guess it must really be serious.
15:18I'll stop mocking you.
15:19I'm listening.
15:20Um, please keep it a secret.
15:24My lips are sealed.
15:26Go on and feel free to pour your heart out.
15:28You'll feel a whole lot better after you say it out loud, you know.
15:32Mr. Takamura, how do I put this?
15:36Okay, to tell you the truth, I saw Mashiba's little sister.
15:39Mashiba's got a little sister?
15:42But you see, I didn't know who she was to begin with, and then I stupidly started bad-mouthing him.
15:55Well, thank you very much.
15:56Good night.
15:57You feel better now?
15:58Oh, yeah, much better.
16:00I'll start running again tomorrow.
16:01That's a spirit.
16:02Hang in there.
16:03Don't you sweat the small stuff.
16:05Yes, sir.
16:07Uh, remember, it's a secret, so please be sure and keep it to yourself.
16:11Sure.
16:13Of course.
16:17One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.
16:23Now I'm really gonna run hard.
16:25Man, I'll tell you, what a surprise.
16:28Who knew Mashiba had a little sister who looks nothing like him?
16:32It's amazing.
16:33How can they be related when he looks like a monster and she's so cute?
16:36I don't know, but all Ippo's got good taste in women.
16:39Uh, what did you guys say?
16:41Oh, did you hear that?
16:41How come you guys know what's going on?
16:43Ah, you were there?
16:47Yo, ladies.
16:48Ah, good afternoon.
16:51Oh, you too?
16:53So, what's your opinion, guys?
16:55Well, she's really cute.
16:56I mean, we're talking mega cute.
16:58That Ippo's a sly one.
16:59He was keeping it from us at Miata's Mac.
17:01I can't believe you told them after you promised.
17:04Huh?
17:05I was serious when I talked to you, and now you're making fun of me.
17:08That's so cruel.
17:09How can you say that I'm making fun of you?
17:12Aoki and Kimura are very concerned about you, too, just like brothers.
17:16Oh, I see.
17:17You think these two guys aren't concerned with your welfare.
17:19No, no, I would never say that.
17:21But seriously, the whole thing's gotta be tough for you.
17:24What?
17:25You were already so down about Miata's loss,
17:27so now you've got a big crush on the sister of your rival.
17:30Oh, that's just so sad.
17:31It's like you're the lead character in a tragedy.
17:34You're so right about that.
17:36It is a tragedy.
17:38Huh?
17:41Huh?
17:50He thinks he's the lead character in a tragedy.
17:52Sad, isn't it?
17:53All grown up and ready for aftershave.
17:57That must have been out of my mind.
18:00I went and poured my heart out to Jack the Ripper.
18:04Nothing's sacred with these guys.
18:06They'll turn any tragedy into one big joke.
18:12Whoa.
18:13What's going on, guys?
18:15Let me in on the joke.
18:16Oh, Fuji, buddy.
18:17Have we got a scoop?
18:18Turns out Mashiba's got a little sister.
18:20Heepo's got a big crush.
18:22Cut it out.
18:22Knock it off, guys.
18:23Mashiba's little sister?
18:24Oh, if you already know about her, I don't need to explain much.
18:29Well, as it turns out, I just met with Mashiba's former probation officer.
18:33His probation officer?
18:34We've all got some skeletons in our closets, and sometimes when you're young, you can get into a lot of trouble.
18:40Right.
18:42Mashiba's obsessive drive for victory made me curious.
18:45Does any of this help explain why he stepped on Miata's foot?
18:49Sure does.
18:50About three years ago, the two of them lost their parents in a terrible car accident.
18:55In a car accident?
18:57Yeah.
18:57Ever since then, they've had to survive on their own.
19:02All by themselves?
19:03All by themselves?
19:08Hello.
19:09I didn't know you were home already.
19:11You must be starving.
19:12I'll go start dinner right away.
19:13Nah, I don't want any.
19:15What?
19:16You're going to the bakery, aren't you, Kumi?
19:18I'm headed to the gym to work out.
19:20If you're gonna train, that's all the more reason why you need a proper meal.
19:24I'll make some spaghetti.
19:25It's full of carbohydrates and easy to digest.
19:28It'll give you some quick energy.
19:31Great, sis.
19:35I talked to Mr. Tanaka.
19:36He said congratulations on making it to the final.
19:39If you become rookie of the year, he says I'll throw you a big party at work.
19:43Did you hear what I said?
19:52Yeah, yeah, who cares?
19:53Oh, come on.
19:54Don't be like that.
19:55He was just being nice.
19:56And he's always been a good employer, hasn't he?
19:59People are really good at knowing the right things to say.
20:01But they just want to make sure they look good.
20:03You never know what they're really thinking.
20:06You and I have learned that time and time again the hard way.
20:09But even so...
20:11Come on, Kumi.
20:12You know it's true.
20:13No matter where I work, I'm always the first to be laid off.
20:16And for them, the reason is simple.
20:18No matter what I do, it's always the same.
20:20He's a troublemaker.
20:22Who knows what he's up to, but get rid of him before we find out.
20:25Oh, but those were other people.
20:30There's no reason to criticize your boss.
20:32You've never heard him say a single bad thing about you, right?
20:35That's true, but they can't get anyone to work there right now,
20:38so they'd hire trained monkeys if they could find them.
20:40Otherwise, they'd give me the boot.
20:45There's no need to worry.
20:46Even if I get laid off again, there's no reason to stress out about it.
20:51There's always boxing to keep us alive.
20:55If I can just keep going and become the Japanese Rookie of the Year,
20:58I'll be ranked 10th in the nation and I won't be too far from the championship.
21:02And when I become world champ, I'll be filthy rich.
21:07When that happens, everything will change and people will see us in a new light.
21:10I can't wait!
21:20Just remember, I'll always take care of you.
21:23Don't worry about money or how to make ends meet.
21:25Or about going to college.
21:27Don't you worry about anything.
21:32I don't care about going to college.
21:35Or making ends meet.
21:36All I know is, it's unbearable to see you suffer so much for me.
21:45You work so hard and train so hard.
21:49And you suffer so much pain from those matches.
21:54Someday you're going to be totally worn out.
21:56The outcome of the match was one thing.
22:06But I just can't get that image of Miata lying there suffering out of my mind.
22:10Never, ever, will I allow myself to lose.
22:13The outcome of Miata lying there suffering out of my mind.
22:18No matter who self is in a nightmare.

23:29Hitman Style. You put your weight on your back leg and make a deep pocket with your arms in front. It's an offensive style that depends on lowering your left guard so you can throw fast jabs.

With my newly improved dash and dart, I'll find a way no matter what. Next round, the battle for distance.
