03:23Don't be right back.
03:39Don't worry about me. Did you take a look at that guy? There's no way I'll lose to anyone, that butt ugly.
03:45Mr. Takamura, you can do it!
03:48You gotta fight for win! Rip his head off!
03:49Take him down!
03:50Can somebody tell the Three Stooges to put a clunk in it? All this drama's kind of embarrassing.
03:56You can do it, Takamura! Go!
04:01It's time for Toxilla to make an appearance.
04:05Listen, there's nothing left to say about strategy, but I don't think that's what you need.
04:08Corner man out!
04:10All right.
04:11Just listen till I'm through talking, all right?
04:13I know what you want to say.
04:15You can do it, Takamura!
04:18Knock it out!
04:21Round two!
04:26He looks determined!
04:29He throws his body into him!
04:32But look at that! He's been pushed back instead!
04:35Takamura has butted heads with the wrong ball!
04:38Your strength has bottomed out to nothing!
04:44Kamaki's got him on the ropes and is hammering away!
04:47The title is within his reach!
04:49He's gotta get out!
04:51That's insane!
04:52He can't move!
04:53The champion's a sitting duck for one brutal blow after another!
04:57You're going down.
04:58I don't care if you're dragging ass or fresh as a newborn baby.
05:01No matter how powerful everyone thinks you are,
05:04I'm knocking you down!
05:09One more!
05:17There's no sign of defeat in those eyes.
05:19Haven't my punches done anything to him?
05:23Or is this some kind of a setup?
05:24Snap out of it! Keep going! Don't stop!
05:29Keep going! Don't stop!
05:33Whoa!
05:34My brain just took a holiday.
05:36Why didn't that bastard nail me while he had the chance?
05:39Ah-ha! You chickened out, didn't you?
05:46What happened, tough guy?
05:48What's this? The champ is egging him on!
05:50Tamaki's frozen like a deer in the headlights!
06:00They're fainting with the eyes. Good job!
06:03Now you got him thinking about it!
06:05He's bluffing.
06:06There's no way he's not hurting right now.
06:08Just one more flurry and it's over.
06:10It's over!
06:13I was right.
06:15He's in real bad shape.
06:16Can't even throw a punch.
06:18Don't give up! Keep lashing out!
06:20What's he doing?
06:21Throw your right!
06:23Another hit!
06:25And another!
06:27Can this be it for the champ?
06:33He tumbles towards the mast!
06:40Mr. Takamura!
06:45Don't you remember what you told me?
06:47All champions have a special power!
06:51If that's true, then show me now!
06:55Show me your power!
07:00Here he comes!
07:02Tokamura lands a blow!
07:17Tamaki shrugs it off like it never happened!
07:19A little hesitation went a long way!
07:21This could be it!
07:23He got me good.
07:25But it shouldn't matter.
07:26I've been tearing into him this whole fight!
07:29Mud legs!
07:30I've got to set an example for all the small fry in the peanut gallery.
07:43They want to be great like me.
07:45I can't let them down.
07:47I'm putting a dent in him.
07:49He's got to be in pain.
07:50I trained too hard for him to still be standing.
07:54He's just another fighter like me.
07:56And I know I can defeat him.
07:57I have the power and the will to stay the champion.
08:04But it's not going to be easy.
08:06My fists will protect my title.
08:08And smash this pretender into pulp.
08:11You don't know how determined I am, kid.
08:14You can never be like me!
08:16He did it again!
08:33The match is over!
08:36He did it!
08:38I never doubted him for even a second.
08:40I did.
08:40It was very scary.
08:41For the third time, Takamura has successfully defended his title with a KO!
08:51And now, for a few words with the winner and still champion, Takamura.
08:54Great job out there, but was this one of your tougher defense matches?
08:58Maybe he'll explain to her about the power of the king.
09:01And all those things he was telling me about.
09:04Tough!
09:05I've broken a bigger sweat playing checkers.
09:07I just cut him a little slack to make a better show for everybody.
09:10What do you say, people?
09:11You have fun or what?
09:12You're not fooling anyone!
09:18We heard you screwed up your way because you were too damn busy chasing chicks to stick to your diet!
09:22You'll never get a chance to say something meaningful.
09:29Well, you know the thing about being the champion.
09:31He's going to say it!
09:33Hey there, girl!
09:33He's got his eye on you!
09:34Don't think he won't make a plea for you right there in the ring!
09:38If you're lucky, you might have a chance to escape after he gets knocked out!
09:42Ha!
09:43They're only kidding.
09:44Hmm?
09:47Are you jokers trying to tell me I'm not popular with the ladies?
09:50You see that?
09:51She's just happy to be near me!
09:53Shut up!
09:54I wrote the book on how a champion is supposed to behave!
09:57But this is horrible!
09:59Just stay normal!
10:00We might get out of this alive!
10:02Yeah!
10:02A champion of the world!
10:12Man, I'm fool!
10:18That blowfish Yagi brought to my victory party with some good eats!
10:22Still, what were you guys thinking with all that cheering crap?
10:25You didn't believe that I could lose, did you?
10:28Well, it did seem possible.
10:30I already told you!
10:31Tonight you were going to see the power of the king!
10:33You really did show me something that only champions have.
10:39Do you think my fists are too light?
10:44That's what Mr. Date told me.
10:46I thought he was trying to get a rise out of me.
10:49But I really paid attention to your defense match.
10:52And you're right.
10:53I realized there's a huge difference between the champion and the challenger.
10:56And that's why you're kicking ass with ten consecutive knockouts.
11:01I can't afford to fool myself.
11:03He's not the kind of fighter I could ever knock down with a light punch.
11:07You have power in your punches.
11:09More than Date does.
11:11Then what is it?
11:12He didn't mean light the way you thought he did.
11:15How then?
11:16Take a look at tonight's match.
11:17If it wasn't for the challenger pushing me with all he had,
11:20my punches would have actually been a little lighter.
11:22There are all sorts of advantages that come with being champion.
11:28Every time you go into the ring, your challengers have expectations.
11:31Every time they dream of beating you and they look up to you in some way.
11:35All of their emotion goes straight into your fist.
11:40Emotion?
11:44See what I mean?
11:48All those feelings weigh a champion's fist down every time he fights.
11:52Which means that old man Date's fist gotta be two cinder blocks by now.
12:02His fist did feel heavy to me.
12:04Filled with the hopes and dreams and fears of everyone that he ever fought.
12:08The only thing driving me right now is that I love boxing.
12:11But that's it.
12:16What kind of mindset do I have to take to the ring
12:18when I finally face the champion?
12:21Yes, hello?
12:29He just lost.
12:31What do you mean?
12:31Who lost?
12:32You sound pretty upset.
12:33Yeah, I'm upset because the lightweight champion just lost his belt.
12:36Who's holding the title?
12:38None other than Mashiba.
12:40Oh, Mashiba won?
12:41That's great.
12:42Good for him.
12:43Are you crazy?
12:43Hey, it's bad enough I had to lose,
12:45but now I have to make a goal of fighting someone who's not even part of the human race.
12:49He's all right.
12:50You wouldn't say that if you saw his face when he won.
12:57It's not such a pleasant thought, is it?
13:00No.
13:00If I gotta fight that maniac, I better go get to work now.
13:03Later.
13:07So, Mashiba has become a champion.
13:12I should talk to him about his whole attitude during the fight
13:15and find out if the champion's fist felt heavy.
13:22Yes, hello?
13:22Hello, how are you?
13:24It's Mashiba.
13:26Kumi Mashiba.
13:27You remember?
13:28Oh, of course.
13:28How are you?
13:29It's been a while.
13:31I'm great.
13:32My brother had his big match today.
13:34Yeah, I know.
13:35I just heard he won the title.
13:37That's awesome.
13:38Congratulations.
13:39Thanks.
13:39I'm so proud of him.
13:41But that's why I called.
13:43I went ahead and planned a celebration for him.
13:46But he doesn't have any friends, so nobody's coming over.
13:49It's just not much of a party, you know?
13:52Could you come over?
13:53Sir, I'm sure he'll be happy to see you.
14:10Okay, I have to keep it together.
14:12I've got to remember to ask him about his take on the title fight.
14:16Is anybody there?
14:23Um, hello?
14:27You there?
14:27It's me, Makinauchi.
14:31Come in.
14:32Oh, yeah.
14:34Um, I'll just come on in then, if it's okay with you.
14:39It's pitch black.
14:41I can't see anything.
14:42He still has my picture nailed up on the wall.
14:49I get it.
14:50It's like one of those surprise parties, right?
14:52Sit down.
14:59Thanks.
14:59So, know where Kumi is?
15:07Out.
15:08Oh, yes.
15:09I see.
15:10She coming back soon?
15:14Yeah, when she's done buying something.
15:17Oh, I see.
15:17She's shopping.
15:18I want to congratulate you on your big win today.
15:27You should be proud of yourself.
15:29You really earned it.
15:30So, how'd it go out there during the fight?
15:42What'd you think of your opponent?
15:44I heard that he was tough.
15:45It couldn't have been too easy.
15:46What round did he finally go down, huh?
15:52I really hope she gets home soon.
15:55The seventh round.
15:57Huh?
15:57Wow, KO in the seventh round?
16:00That's a great fight.
16:02But the champion must have really been something lasting as long as he did.
16:05I mean, the fact that he went seven rounds against you after you upped your weight class is pretty impressive.
16:09And I wondered, is there something special about a champion?
16:13Like their style?
16:14Or their strength?
16:15Or maybe there's something about their fists that's different.
16:19It's nothing, really.
16:22So there's no difference?
16:23I fought him the way I would anybody else.
16:26Longer than usual, perhaps.
16:28He just wouldn't quit, so I had to make it ugly.
16:34His title match and it was all the same?
16:37I guess the strongest don't always agree.
16:39What are you doing?
16:40Why is it so dark in here?
16:42Hello, Ipo.
16:43Thanks for coming.
16:44Thank you for inviting me.
16:45I know it's last minute, but...
16:47Everyone at his work was saying that they'd have a party for him in a few days.
16:51But I thought that to do it right, we should have one on the same day.
16:54Don't you think so?
16:55No, you're right.
16:56The same day is usually the best time for the victory party.
16:59And it's not like he's suffering from fight fatigue.
17:01That's not the face of someone who had an easy fight.
17:09Those 21 minutes he spent fighting were nothing less than a death match.
17:16That's the face of someone who fought desperately with everything he had.
17:20He put his life on the line for that belt.
17:22Hello in there.
17:26Huh?
17:27Okay.
17:28Let's have a great time tonight.
17:29Put this on if you're not too embarrassed.
17:32Congratulations on becoming champion.
17:34Congratulations.
17:35You did great.
17:40No.
17:41He's not into this.
17:42He probably hates it.
17:43The fight was so terrifying.
17:46I had to leave before it was all over.
17:48That champ had already defended his title in five earlier matches.
17:52But he got him in the seven.
17:53That was some great boxing.
17:58Thank you so much for coming to the party.
18:04You're welcome.
18:05But I was really starting to think that I was bringing him down or something.
18:09That's not true at all.
18:10I could tell you were making him happy.
18:12Did you happen to notice those tiny wrinkles that he was getting between his eyebrows?
18:16He only gets those when he's trying not to laugh.
18:18I haven't seen those wrinkles there in a long time.
18:22That's how he looks when he's happy?
18:26It must be nice to have a sibling.
18:29I would love to have someone who cared enough about me to throw a victory party and celebrate my fights.
18:33But unfortunately, I was an only child.
18:35Well, your title match is coming up pretty soon, isn't it?
18:40Yes, it is.
18:41I wanted to thank you for coming by today, so I'm going to throw you a party too.
18:45And that way we can celebrate together.
18:47Oh man, I can't believe how cute she looked just now.
18:54That's nice, but we're kind of getting ahead of ourselves.
18:56I mean, I don't even know if I'll win.
18:59It really wasn't much different for my brother.
19:03He didn't let on, but I could tell he was nervous before the match.
19:06But he did tell me that he would try as hard as he always did, and he left the house this morning as though it were any other day.
19:17You know, I'm not even sure that I'm making any sense.
19:20Like any other day, huh?
19:27That's probably a great way to look at it.
19:31If you put everything you can into everything you do, your best comes naturally.
19:37Doesn't matter who I'm up against.
19:39It'll be a good fight.
19:40It'll be a fight that I can be proud of.
19:43But it's just another fight.
19:45That's all there is to it.
19:48Thanks for coming with me.
19:50I'm going to run the rest of the way.
19:53Wait a minute, Ippo.
19:57Go and do your best, okay?
20:00And while you're at it, win that belt!
20:04I'll give it everything I've got!
20:15Alright, kid.
20:16You ready?
20:17Yes!
20:18And all-around champion versus challenger with great potential.
20:22Makina Uchi's liver blow is key.
20:29But only if he gets to throw it.
20:32If he goes for the liver blow, he'll leave himself wide open.
20:36And Date will know, because he's waiting to throw his killer punch.
20:39He'll throw a heartbreaker the first chance he gets.
20:45And even if Ippo dodges the blow, he'll be too curled up to throw the left.
20:49All right, jump now, kid!
20:56Always stay close enough to take it into a clinch.
20:58He needs distance to throw a corkscrew punch, kid.
21:00That's the way.
21:01Stay close and you'll have nothing to worry about.
21:04Yes, sir.
21:04All right, now.
21:05Keep smart.
21:05The Chief's always one step ahead.
21:08He knows the left won't be able to punch, so he'll block with the left.
21:11And he'll stay close enough to smother the corkscrew.
21:13He's a sly old fox.
21:15But that means Ippo's punching power will be cut in half.
21:18There's practically no openings to throw a decent punch.
21:28All right, fellas, that's enough for now.
21:31I didn't see that coming.
21:33But now that I think of it,
21:35there was a champion that claimed that a fist 10 centimeters away from its target could knock a man down.
21:41At that range, you'd have to concentrate all your strength into your fist.
21:46And Maka no Uchi sure has a lot of strength to pull from.
21:50I wouldn't miss this match for anything.
21:58Mr. Takamura defended his title.
22:01And Mashiba took his.
22:07And soon, it'll be my turn.
22:11I get up again with my golden body.
22:30Tomorrow's the only way to go.
22:39I get up again with my golden body.
22:42It's that way to come out.
22:44I get up again with my golden body.
22:47Tomorrow's the only way to go.
22:51I get up again with my golden body.
22:55I get up again with my golden body.
23:00I don't want to be safe.
23:05And place to live with a place.
23:10Yeah, that's true again.
23:12Oh yeah, I can't help myself remember the same thing.
23:23Title match. A match waged between a champion and a challenger for the belt.
23:29The showdown between the best there is and the boxer that strives to become the next king.
23:35I never imagined I'd be in a match like this three years ago,
23:38but now I'm dying to climb into that ring as soon as I can.
23:42There's nothing holding me back from using all my strength.
23:47Next round, the Japan Featherweight title match.
