00:00I don't know how to find a true answer to this one.
00:07I won't see the answer, but I don't want to find a true answer.
00:12We'll find a true answer.
00:17I want to be a bad game for the game.

01:05Base runs on to you
01:21Alright, that's enough
01:35Thank you for all the help, sir
01:39Seems like the time off
01:43Didn't dull his power even a little
01:45What about the tournament?
01:47Do you think that he'll be able to handle it, Chief?
01:50Well, his punches have been weakened, that's true
01:52But the kid hasn't done nearly enough sparring
01:54He lost some of his match since
01:56And we still have yet to come up with a game plan for his
01:58What's the matter?
02:01Are you alright, Chief?
02:02Yeah, the kid was hitting me with nothing but right body blows
02:05Body blows
02:07Hey, kid!
02:09Yeah?
02:09Oh, are you hurt?
02:12Are you alright, Chief?
02:13Eh, don't flatter yourself
02:15You couldn't knock me over with a sledgehammer
02:17But you did hit me with an awful lot of body blows
02:19So I figured that I've earned a little break
02:21I'm very sorry
02:22Don't sweat it
02:23That's the way you're supposed to do it
02:24You really think so?
02:25Because I've been going at it by moving clockwise
02:27In a circle and throwing a bunch of jabs
02:29And then I saw myself intercepting with a powerful right
02:32What are you talking about?
02:33Huh?
02:34Who are you saying would be moving clockwise?
02:37Well, I just...
02:38This is your attempt at planning your fight against Saeki, isn't it?
02:41I just need a lot more practice
02:42But I didn't really think I was planning
02:45Well, even if you didn't know what you were doing
02:48It's a very good thing that you've started a strategy early
02:50Actually, all things considered, kid
02:52Your idea's right on target
02:53But you know
02:54If you're gonna use it, then get in that ring and fight to win
02:58You're fighting in the A-Class Tournament
03:01Yes, sir!
03:08Hmm...
03:15So he came back
03:16Huh?
03:23Hey
03:23Huh?
03:29So they started sparring
03:30This should be good
03:32So, how's Saeki shaping up so far, Okita?
03:37He's really fast
03:38Even Dante's having a hard time catching up with him
03:40And that's why they call him the Speed Star
03:42You know?
03:48Oh, yeah!
03:49When all's said and done, I couldn't even catch you with a net
04:02Just a desperate attempt not to get hit
04:05Speed before style, huh?
04:06You're my least favorite type of boxer
04:08Is that so?
04:10Thanks a lot
04:10Coming from you, that's the best compliment I could get
04:13Hmm
04:14He's a hateful bastard
04:18Huh?
04:19He refuses to use more than 60 to 70% of his full power
04:23Huh?
04:25Wouldn't it have been more fun to make him go all out?
04:28Speed Star
04:30Better watch out, Makano Uchi
04:33This guy's no ordinary boxer
04:36The hardest to fight?
04:39Yeah, um
04:40I was wondering
04:40Out of all the kinds of fighters out there
04:42Which of them you thought was the hardest for an outboxer to deal with?
04:46Good question
04:46Boxers that charge relentlessly forward just like you
04:49Huh?
04:50Are total pushovers
04:52But any opponent with better footwork than you is gonna be a real tough customer to beat
04:56They're always one step ahead of you, so you can't get your rhythm going
04:59Trying to get back your pace is a nightmare
05:01Any way you cut it, it's not fun
05:03So somebody who's faster is difficult
05:06Gotta go do my workout
05:08Oh, sure
05:09If I can move faster than Saeki
05:15I can beat him
05:16Whoa
05:23Jeebers, goodness me, oh my
05:25Are they boxing?
05:26Get off you tone deaf freak
05:40Now you start to screw up all my rhythm
05:42I'm sorry
05:42Nice move Swayze
05:44boys oh mr. Saeki yo well you guys are as lively now as the day I left brings back memories hey
06:02Saeki thanks to you dropping off the team we all took a sound pummeling at the university meet
06:08oh and I missed you too captain so what's it like for you going pro this white area if memory serves
06:17me was the one reason you quit amateur boxing you couldn't handle that you got the same amount
06:21of points whether you hit the white area or knocked them down it's all well and good to
06:26compete with techniques but I couldn't help but want something better as a pro have you found it
06:31now man where do I begin these professional guys are incredible they all got murder in their fists
06:40and they fight with their souls risking life and limb with every single punch that they throw out
06:44there I dodged them all by the skin of my teeth and in a split second I'm making my move it's that dog
06:51eat dog instance so intense and terrifying that I live for it I can't get enough of it no way
06:58fighting is the greatest for anyone who's really addicted to the thrill let me try huh it takes a lot
07:12more than strength to work this machine you have to use the force of momentum you got to use your
07:16spring action awesome look at that this high-tech spring is the secret that allows him to punch with
07:25all that incredible speed whoa even the pros have a hard time keeping up with your speed saiki I can't
07:31imagine how thrilling it can be for you if your opponents can't even land a single punch there'll
07:36never be a shortage of adrenaline especially with this upcoming fight huh they say that he's got the
07:42most powerful fits in the entire Japanese featherweight division I'm counting on you Makano Uchi the rush I'm
07:52looking for won't come if you don't deliver it's only a week until we fight at the tournament huh did you
08:01come up with a plan of attack for your match-ups no way all of that last-minute hocus-pocus never
08:06work for anybody you got that right huh whoa you're starting to get pretty darn good at that aren't
08:24you haha well whenever I come to practice lately I mostly concentrate all the work on improving my
08:30rhythm maybe there's something to be said about cramming before a fight huh are you able to throw power
08:36punches at full strength while maintaining that same level of velocity uh I had a feeling a pro
08:42fighter can spot it every time out the truth is that once I put my mitts into it my rhythm goes
08:47all over the place if I can see through that sake you will see through it also I told you what he's
08:52doing wouldn't work and exercise in utility Epo sir I don't believe that you're exercising
09:00futility at all well you know I don't either if I can get just an inch closer to Saiki's rhythm
09:07and moves I might just realize something so you're trying to get inside his head right if that's the
09:12case let's do it one more time I'll practice with you as many times as it takes mm-hmm okay I'm gonna
09:19punch you now it's hard for me to do with you staring me in the eyes like that I'm sorry then
09:26hey what if I narrow my eyes like this oh that makes it even worse is there something wrong uh no
09:34but I just got the feeling that I suddenly understand something
09:39hi there skipper oh hello good morning you came alone huh uh don't hide there like a dweeb come on
09:50hi mom go ahead Epo uh I got these for you to celebrate and welcome you home Epo that's sweet but
09:59you're making such a big deal of this I kind of thought so too but Umazawa said I had to
10:05it's a cause for celebration so bouquet is to be expected if you say so okay boss now it's your turn
10:13oh bring it out now huh well as you can see I had a lot of time on my hands here you go wow

11:08huh I can't repay all you've done except to do my best at my next fight forget that you at least owe us
11:15a KO
11:15they're probably worried about me because I haven't had enough training
11:21I caused everyone a lot of worry because of what happened
11:26I won't let you down
11:30I'm gonna give this upcoming fight everything I've got
11:35I can't promise a KO because Saeki's gonna be a powerful challenger
11:38but
11:40I swear that I'll win
11:43how'd it go went real smooth and the weigh-in was a total cakewalk still everybody looks like they're out for blood probably means that the first fight is already underway featherweight's coming up soon turn that guy into hamburger and you'll let him know not to
11:49mess with you
11:56all right I'm gonna go in there and give it my full focus

12:11oh it's Mark and Ochi he's got eight consecutive KO's
12:16what's his problem a bad hair day

13:42I don't have enough practice
13:43will I be able to hit the fastest man in featherweight in my condition
13:47I really wish I had more training
14:06he's like an animal in a cage
14:08yeah well the kid's just restless because he didn't get a chance to go with us to training camp
14:12he's the type that gains most of his confidence by constantly drilling and practicing his moves till they're in his bones
14:17so you think he's all nervous because he doesn't think he's trained enough
14:20yeah he's going up against a tough hombre
14:24will I be able to hit him?
14:26will I be able to hit the speed star?
14:29kid you're gonna have to relax
14:32you gotta focus and stop worrying so much about this guy
14:35I will sir

17:03I've decided not to
17:04huh?
17:05the fight is six rounds
17:06no way I can catch him with my footwork
17:08can't follow him so I'll wait for him
17:11that's the right idea
17:12just don't forget if you let him screw up your timing
17:15he's gonna turn your whole head into a speed bag
17:18right
17:19I'll give it everything I got

17:33at least I won't be bored
17:36quarterman out
17:38will tonight's bout go to power or to speed?
17:40the air here is heavy with anxiety
17:42the bell is about to ring
17:44hey
17:45knock him out
17:46go go saeki
17:48go go saeki
17:50go go saeki
17:51that's gonna start now
17:52go go saeki
17:53go go saeki
17:55go go saeki
17:56no bell has rung and the crowd goes wild
18:00alright
18:01let's take a look at this power punch I've heard so much about
18:05saeki begins by establishing distance
18:07distance. Makanouchi doesn't move. He keeps a firm guard observing his opponent. Saeki laps the
18:22entire ring centered on Makanouchi who has yet to move at all. What's the matter? Aren't you
18:27going to try to hit me? I learned something training with Yamada. It's hard to work with
18:33someone staring at you. Doesn't sound like much, but it's something I can use. Stare at
18:38his every slightest move. Looks like Saeki's having a pretty rough time of it, Chief. That's
18:51right, Yagi. To him, it feels more like he's being waited on instead of being watched. A
18:55very simple strategy, but it's very effective. You can't just stand there. Let's box.
19:03I can't be the first to make a move. I gotta wait. We didn't come down here to watch you
19:10two stare into each other's eyes. He's choking out there. Kick his rear end. You don't know.
19:15If I go near him, the Viper's going to try to strike. But can he catch me in his fangs?
19:22Huh? What's happening? Oh, come on! This is ridiculous! Whoa! Saeki casually strides forward
19:36towards his opponent. What's he doing? He is clearly trying to goad Makanouchi. That pose
19:42can say only one thing. Fight me now! And he goes closer. Makanouchi one-twos! He latches
19:50out in a flurry of punches! Saeki's on the fence! He's blown backwards by a powerful body blow
19:58straight through his guard! Not even a crossblock absorbs the impact. He's good.
20:04Saeki continues to keep his distance. Woo! That was full-on freaky. He's all up close and personal
20:14just for the sheer thrill of it. That's just his way of raising the stakes and mounting up
20:18the tension. He pushes himself to the brink to put his concentration into overdrive. After
20:24that, he'll turn up the heat. One degree at a time.
20:26He's finding his rhythm. It's coming!
20:37He's fast!
20:42He's coming in for a punch! Now's my chance!
20:45He's fast! He's fast! He weaves around Makanouchi's punches with incredible ease! The punches
21:00whizzing through the air! The speed star struts his stuff! I'm getting psyched. This is it.
21:06I can't get enough of this feeling. It's like he's barely dodging by on purpose. But next time...
21:13He's good.
21:15Who?
21:15Take a look at Saeki's position.
21:17Ooh!
21:20Can't catch him by strength alone, so he's using the corner to his advantage. It's a really
21:24good strategy.
21:25Mm-hmm.
21:29He's really something.
21:30Makanouchi's moving in! A left barrage! But Saeki manages to dodge! And dodge! And dodge
21:38some more!
21:50Huh? That can't be...
21:52Oh my! Saeki has escaped the corner! He's clean on the other side of Makanouchi's fierce
21:59attack! He is most definitely the speed star! I bet you weren't expecting that.
22:05That was ridiculous!
22:06A left barrage!
22:12La la la la la la la... Hey!
22:23Manใใใฃใฆใๅใใใใไฝไบใชใ้้ใใ็นฐใ่ฟใ!
22:26I don't know.
22:56Clever boxer.
23:24A boxer who fights calmly using advanced techniques and a quick wit.
23:29He monitors not only his opponent, but his own condition objectively throughout a match.
23:35And just when you think you've caught up, he goes one level higher.
23:39I still don't want to give up.
23:41I still haven't shown everyone who cares about me that I got it all together.
23:45Next round, Blind Spot in the Ring.
