Transcript
01:59It's an exchange of blows so fierce it could ignite.
02:02Neither fighter backs off.
02:07Kuki, I can't watch.
02:09Don't be like that, Tomiko.
02:10I hope he needs our support.
02:12I can't.
02:13Come on, you can do it.
02:14Just open your eyes.
02:15This isn't good.
02:16His opponent's much stronger.
02:18Just stay away from him.
02:19No, keep him close.
02:21Huh?
02:21Let him wear himself out.
02:23Show your guts intimidated.
02:25He can't keep it up for long.
02:27I can't watch it.
02:32Pull yourself together.
02:37Look at that.
02:38Yeah, it's Aoki's fight.
02:44He's really in control.
02:48They've thrown in the towel.
02:50Aoki wins by TKO.
02:52Yes!
02:53Huh?
02:54Yeah!
02:54He did it!
02:57He sure did!
02:58He did it!
02:59Aoki needed our support!
03:00What were you doing?
03:01I'm sorry!
03:04Well, that was sure amazing.
03:06Yes, it certainly was.
03:08That advice you gave him was right on the money.
03:10Huh?
03:11You really do have a good eye for boxing, Mr. Nakoda.
03:14Nah, I just finally let my mouth run away from me, that's all.
03:17It's been a long time since I've had this much excitement.
03:21This guy may be up in years, but he still knows what he's talking about.
03:25Although boxing's been scientifically interpreted,
03:28it ultimately comes down to the state of mind.
03:30May I take the seat beside you?
03:32Be my guest.
03:33I don't think anyone's sitting there.
03:35Well, your colleagues fought really excellent fights, Makano Uchi.
03:38Ah, well, now, this is a fine-looking young lady.
03:42Now's your chance, Ippo.
03:43Ask her out, huh?
03:44What's that?
03:44What are you saying, Mr. Nakoda?
03:48Hey, um, I'm sorry, but have we met before?
03:50Yes, I came to the gym for an interview the other day.
03:53You were concentrating on your training, so you didn't notice me.
03:57You see, I'm very interested in you, Ippo.
03:59Huh?
04:01Tomiko!
04:02I won!
04:03Congratulations, Master!
04:05Congratulations to you, too, Tamora.
04:07Did you come here for Ippo?
04:08Do you want me to go find him?
04:09That's all right.
04:10I came here to cheer for everybody else today, anyway.
04:13What are you talking about?
04:14He'll be excited.
04:16Let's see.
04:20Oh.
04:21Is he over here?
04:25Would you like me to call him over?
04:28No, never mind.
04:29Wow, those guys really put on a great show.
04:34You know, Aoki and Kimura claimed they would steal the spotlight from Mr. Takamura's main event fight.
04:40And they just might do it, after all.
04:42We'll see about that.
04:43Huh?
04:44Come to think of it, we did deliver that big bag to his dressing room.
04:48What was inside it?
04:50Oh, you'll see.
04:51All I can say is it's going to be a surprise.
04:54Oh.
04:54Now the challenger is ready and waiting, fully prepared in the blue corner.
04:58The throng of spectators is pressing forward, waiting to see the fists of the champion said to have brought down a bear.
05:05The one and only Takamura.
05:07It's a lie.
05:08It's impossible to kill a bear with your bare hands.
05:11Yeah.
05:11And here comes the champion.
05:13Hey, whoa, look at your power.
05:16Look at your power.
05:18Man, it's dark.
05:20Oh.
05:21Oh.
05:21Hey, it's a bear.
05:30A bear's in here.
05:31Man, it'll kill us.
05:32It's Takamura.
05:33Let me out.
05:35Everyone, it's not a bear.
05:36It's Takamura.
05:37Stay in your seats and settle down.
05:39It's getting into the ring.
05:41You're kidding me.
05:44It's Takamura.
05:47He's in the bear.
05:48I doubt anyone's going to even remember our matches after this.
05:52A bear?
05:54Well, now, that's something you don't see every day.
05:56All right.
05:57Now the party's going.
05:59So that's what was in the bag.
06:02Is this guy making fun of me?
06:04This feels kind of bogus.
06:06I bet he didn't even really kill a bear.
06:08I respected you until now.
06:12So what the hell are you trying to do?
06:14Psych me out in a title match?
06:16When that bell rings, you're going down.
06:19Huh?
06:21Yikes.
06:22What's with that scar?
06:24It's from a bear.
06:25It's a scar from a bear claw.
06:27Ignore it.
06:28It's just bull.
06:28Yeah, but coach.
06:31That thing is certainly causing an uproar.
06:33He sure does know how to work the crowd.
06:35What do you mean, work the crowd?
06:36I was totally against the idea.
06:38But he said you recommended it, so I was forced to go along with it.
06:41Huh?
06:41Well, he told me the whole thing was your idea.
06:44What?
06:45Yeah, well, that's what he said.
06:46All your talk is distracting me.
06:48The bell's going to ring.
06:49Why, you...
06:50Cornerman, out!
06:52Go on, old man.
06:53That means you.
06:54Cut her out!
06:55Let's see now.
06:58This is only the beginning.
07:01And there's the bell!
07:02Will Ito beat the most powerful champion in the country?
07:05Or will Takamura crush him with his bear-killing punch?
07:08And to think, he brought it down with his straight right.
07:11Is he going to hunt him down in under a minute?
07:16The challenger makes the first move.
07:18He moves forward while throwing a left jab.
07:21The champion slightly retreats.
07:22It's the rhythm.
07:23I'll take the rhythm with my left and control the pace.
07:26Throws a pretty good left.
07:28Good.
07:28Keep him moving.
07:30A left from the champion!
07:31But the challenger is moving well.
07:34Both fighters seem to be favoring their left jab.
07:37It's an intense battle to control the pace of the fight.
07:40What?
07:41This isn't like him.
07:43Come on, Takamura, knock him out!
07:45Why are you just using your left hand?
07:46It's been an intense flurry of lefts.
07:49But what has happened to the champion today?
07:51The domination he normally exhibits is nowhere to be seen.
07:55Ito's left is preventing that.
07:57A left from the champion!
07:59Huh?
08:00He continues to land lefts accurately, pummeling away at the challenger!
08:05Tuck him up!
08:06I want a right hook!
08:07I'll run!
08:07You can't beat him with jasking left!
08:09One, two!
08:10The champion calmly dodges them!
08:12Wow, he is really good!
08:13The big guy is surprisingly good at the basic stuff.
08:18Another left!
08:20What's going on?
08:21He's had several good chances to hit him with the right!
08:24Left!
08:25Left!
08:26Left!
08:26The champion is using his left all the way!
08:28Chants!
08:29They're transforming!
08:31Into something close to straight!
08:35Huh?
08:35Why doesn't he use his right?
08:39What are you doing?
08:40That was your chance!
08:41Come on!
08:41Is the bear story really alive?
08:45You've got to use your right!
08:46Your left isn't good enough on its own!
08:50Come on!
08:51Knock him out!
08:52Come here!
08:54Ooh!
08:54Laughter!
09:01Dope!
09:07Wow, he did it!
09:08And he didn't even swing his right!
09:10He beat him with only his left!
09:11He really did defeat him using only his left hand!
09:14Wow!
09:15It could be true!
09:16It means he performed according to the proverb!
09:19The proverb?
09:20Those who rule the left will rule the world!
09:24Seven!
09:24Eight!
09:25Nine!
09:26Ten!
09:27He did it with only his left!
09:28He did it with only his left because...
09:29He wanted to appeal to the world!
09:34The challenger cannot stand up!
09:36He has been defeated by the left hand of Takamura!
09:39The champion has knocked down his opponent!
09:42Wow!
09:43He sure did it!
09:44He sure did!
09:46Awesome!
09:46Awesome!
09:46Looks like I took care of him faster than you thought, old man!
09:51Oh, yeah?
09:52I went overboard with a bear pelt!
09:54I already know that!
09:55I'm ready to be lectured, so say what you like, you geezer!
09:58You think I deserve it?
09:59Go ahead!
10:00Shut up and get out of the ring already!
10:02Hurry up, all right?
10:03How can I lecture him?
10:07He just fought a perfect match, and he knows it!
10:09Takamura successfully defends his title for the fourth time!
10:13Japan is too small for this champion!
10:16Anyone who witnessed tonight's fight would have to agree!
10:28Good afternoon!
10:29Hello!
10:30Oh, you're all here!
10:31Yeah, well, we need to start training pretty soon!
10:34Have you guys recovered?
10:36Completely!
10:37More importantly, does anyone know if Mr. Shinoda's here yet?
10:39I want to do some mitt punching!
10:42Go on!
10:45Mr. Nakota's still here?
10:47He's been roaming the chief's office since the other night!
10:49For five days?
10:51Let's box!
10:52Please consider your age, Mr. Nakota!
10:54You could get seriously hurt!
10:56No, I can handle a little mitt punching!
10:58Don't worry, Ken's doing it also!
11:00The chief does it every day!
11:02It's all right, I can take it!
11:04Go on ahead, kid!
11:05A few punches should satisfy the old guy!
11:07Oh, all right!
11:10Okay, all done!
11:12Not enough for training!
11:14Come at me!
11:15Full on with everything you've got!
11:16Come on, whack it!
11:17Ah, don't blame me if anything happens!
11:20Huh?
11:21Ah!
11:23Huh?
11:26Fine!
11:27Come on, give me a combo!
11:29Throw a harder right hook!
11:30Get guards!
11:31We try again!
11:32Oh?
11:33What's this?
11:34He's not half bad!
11:36One more!
11:39Good!
11:40Now go rest!
11:42Right!
11:44Yeah, huh?
11:45Amazing!
11:46Gamora actually got more tired than Mr. Nakota!
11:49Ah, I'm not that great!
11:50The way you taught that combination was easy to understand!
11:53Can you teach me to hit two?
11:54Well, I'm a strict teacher!
11:59He's flawless, really!
12:01It's been over 30 years since he actually boxed, but that's Neko for ya!
12:06It's perfect because we're short on trainers!
12:09Perhaps I should keep him around here for a little while longer!
12:13Well, I'm going out for road work now!
12:16Wanna come with me, boy?
12:17Hey, Ippo!
12:18Hi there!
12:19Oh, Tomiko!
12:20Kumi!
12:21Is Masaru here?
12:22Oh, yeah, sure!
12:23He's just inside the gym!
12:24Thanks!
12:25See ya!
12:25Uh, Tomiko!
12:27You have something to say to Ippo, don't you?
12:29Huh?
12:30Tomiko, wait!
12:32Uh, you're busy.
12:34You're in the middle of training, aren't you?
12:36Yeah, but it's road work, and if maybe you're not too busy, you could come along with me on the bicycle if you want.
12:42What do you say?
12:43Huh?
12:44Yeah, I'll come!
12:45Come!
12:45It's amazing!
13:04Huh?
13:04I mean, boxers, you know.
13:06They hold down other jobs, while in the meantime, they're still training very hard.
13:10Well, Mashiba's the same, isn't he?
13:12Haven't you ever seen him doing this?
13:14He always tells me not to come along.
13:16He won't even tell me the dates of his matches.
13:19I look in the fight magazines and get my own tickets for them.
13:23Wow!
13:23I can always tell when there's a match coming up, because he gets so irritated.
13:28It's incredible.
13:29He flips over the table and everything.
13:32The table?
13:35Wow!
13:36Your brother sounds intense before a fight.
13:38Huh?
13:39Oh, yeah.
13:40Did you really come to Mr. Takamura's match?
13:43Uh, yeah.
13:44You should have said something to me.
13:45We could have sat and watched it together.
13:48That's true.
13:54Uh, Kumi, is something wrong?
13:56You're such a popular boxer, it's hard to get your attention.
14:00What are you talking about?
14:02When I'm in the spectator stands, nobody ever recognizes me.
14:06Aren't you really popular with the girls?
14:09I'm not really.
14:10I've been asked for my autograph before, but only by other guys.
14:15Is that true?
14:17Uh, yeah.
14:20Uh, if I ask, would you sign an autograph for me?
14:25Uh, what are you saying?
14:27An autograph is just me writing my name on a piece of paper.
14:30Oh, yeah, I know.
14:31So you've promised now.
14:33Uh, right?
14:35Great.
14:35That means I'm the first girl to get his autograph.
14:39He trains hard like this day in and day out.
14:47And suffers for his effort.
14:49And the pay isn't that good.
14:51Why does he love boxing so much?
14:53Uh, yeah.
14:53Uh, yeah.
14:54Uh, yeah.
14:55Uh, yeah.
14:56Uh, yeah.
14:56Uh, yeah.
14:57Uh, yeah.
14:57Uh, yeah.
14:59Uh, yeah.
15:00Uh, yeah.
15:00Uh, yeah.
15:01Uh, yeah.
15:02Uh, there's still so much I don't understand.
15:06Uh, yeah.
15:09Uh, yeah.
15:11Uh, yeah.
15:11Uh, yeah.
15:12Uh, yeah.
15:13Um...
15:13Yeah?
15:15Ippo, tell me why you started boxing.
15:17I mean, how did it happen?
15:18Huh?
15:21I mean...
15:22There are other kinds of sports, and you're an incredible athlete.
15:25I was wondering why you chose boxing.
15:27Why I started boxing? Wow, that's a long story.
15:30Um, I...
15:32It's all right.
15:33It's because you like it, right?
15:35I realized I asked a question that didn't need answering.
15:37I'm going to go buy a magic marker and a sketch pad.
15:40Go ahead without me.
15:48Hey, guys, I'm back.
15:50Hi, good afternoon.
15:51Oh, Miss Amura, what a surprise. What brings you here?
15:55I told you that I have an interest in you, remember?
15:58Actually, I'm here to ask you a couple of questions, if that's all right.
16:03So, which of your bouts has left the greatest impression on you?
16:07The greatest impression?
16:08I'd have to say, the fight against Date.
16:11What?
16:12Is that strange or something? What's wrong with that?
16:14It's just not what I thought you would say.
16:17I thought he'd choose a fight he won.
16:20Well, I guess it's like him to say that.
16:22All right, this is the big question.
16:26Why did you start boxing?
16:28What? Again?
16:29What was that?
16:30Oh, no, I was just asked the same thing a minute ago.
16:33Hmm, well, I guess if you've been interviewed about it a number of times, there's no need to ask.
16:37It wasn't really an interview.
16:42Hachi, I'm back!
16:43Woo!
16:45Hmm?
16:45Hey, that woman!
16:50Oh, I almost forgot.
16:51Would you mind autographing this page for me, please?
16:53Huh?
16:54Since you could become famous in the way you're going, you probably will.
16:57Your autograph could be worth a lot of money.
16:59Well, it's honestly nothing that impressive, really.
17:02That's it, Ippo.
17:03Please, turn her down!
17:05Don't be that way.
17:06It's easy.
17:07Just scribble it down.
17:08Come on.
17:09Really?
17:09Are you sure?
17:10But you promised me!
17:12Be a man and turn her down!
17:14Actually, I'd rather not.
17:16Yeah!
17:16Way to go, Ippo!
17:18There's no need to be embarrassed.
17:19Hey, don't you think you're being a little pushy?
17:22Yeah, but I actually do feel embarrassed to write it down.
17:25Turn her down!
17:26Don't do it!
17:27No!
17:27I'm not used to this sort of thing.
17:29Don't!
17:30Don't!
17:33This is the best I can do.
17:35Thank you very much.
17:36I'll be back for more.
17:41Thank you!
17:43See you later!
17:45Phew!
17:46Oh, man.
17:48Hmm?
17:49What is it, boy?
17:53What?
17:54What's this?
17:58Left!
17:59Bring it back and strike again quick!
18:01It's a double left!
18:03The textbook one-two is fine, but this is different.
18:05If you can land it on your opponent, it'll score and it'll hurt him.
18:09Can we see it?
18:10You deliver the second shot to the body or the head.
18:13Mr. Nakoda sure is a hit, isn't he?
18:15Wow.
18:16He's really very good.
18:18He sure got a lot of knowledge and a lot of experience in the ring.
18:22I don't have time to train anyone else when I'm working with a kid, so I find him to be an enormous help.
18:27Next, you throw a right.
18:28Like this.
18:30Put your back into it.
18:31That's right.
18:32Come on, you slowpokes.
18:34Can't you keep up with an old man?
18:37Looks like he's getting himself a lot of students.
18:40I didn't know that many guys could even fit in our gym.
18:43You probably feel rejected having everyone else latch on to him like that, huh?
18:47No, actually I don't.
18:48Apparently, Mr. Nakoda holds review meetings every day after practice.
18:52I hear it helps him make a lot of improvement.
18:55Really?
18:55Anyway, a review meeting.
18:57That's a hell of a good idea.
19:05Nothing.
19:11Strange.
19:12These trainees have been acting standoffish towards me lately.
19:14What the?
19:24Hey, want to work with a mitt?
19:27Sir, why don't we work on mitt punching?
19:29Great.
19:30Now line up and wait your turn.
19:31Yeah!
19:32All right!
19:33Yeah!
19:35Whoa, it feels like I'm gradually losing my place in my own gym.
19:41Why is that?
19:42These guys don't want to work with me anymore?
19:46Come to think of it, I was kind of Spartan with them at times.
19:50I am kind of detached.
19:52Maybe I should have talked to my boxers more.
19:55Huh?
19:56Huh.
19:58Oh, they're having the review meeting.
20:00Well, maybe it'll help me in revising my own methods.
20:03They sound like they're having fun.
20:05Gen would always get stuck on women so quick.
20:08Oh, he acts really big now, but when he was young, he was really out of control.
20:13Every time he was rejected, he'd force me to go and get drunk with him.
20:18Not our chief.
20:19No way!
20:20Yeah, that's a real shock.
20:21I wish you could have been there to see Gen crying with his nose running.
20:26Mr. Chief!
20:27I've called you.
20:28Excuse me, sir!
20:29Get out of here!
20:30I'm not done yet!
20:31I should have known.
20:33You know, you've always been like that to me.
20:35You end up using me in order to get everybody else around to like you.
20:38Yeah, I intended it to be a review, but my tongue slipped slightly.
20:42What do you mean, slightly?
20:44You showed no restraint!
20:45I'd like to ship you special delivery to a remote mountaintop!
20:49I was just jealous.
20:51Jealous?
20:52What?
20:52You're jealous?
20:54I'm jealous of you, always surrounded by young folk, living life to the fullest, this wonderful gym.
21:01I was jealous compared to you.
21:02I'm just living all alone in the mountains like a hermit, with nothing to show for it.
21:09Huh?
21:11Please forgive me.
21:12No, I should apologize to you.
21:15You can stay here, Necco, if that's what you really want to do.
21:18Really?
21:19Special delivery!
21:21What?
21:22I was just joking, really!
21:23Who called and asked for a special delivery?
21:25Me!
21:26What?
21:27The special delivery guy I know is headed up the mountains, so I'm hitching a ride with him.
21:34You have to leave?
21:36Can't you stay?
21:37You don't have to go home so soon, do you?
21:39Nah.
21:40I have a reservation for a group of college girls, so I gotta get back to the hills!
21:44What?
21:45What do you mean, wasting away on your own?
21:47Next time we meet, we'll settle up for all these years!
21:50That's fine by me!
21:52You win that bout, Makanosi!
21:55Thank you, sir!
21:56You know I'm gonna give it my all!
21:58Take care!
21:59So long!
22:00See you soon!
22:02Goodbye!
22:03Summer is gone, and now the autumn is here!
22:05I can't have a kid with my wanted body!
22:17I can't love again with my wounded body
22:30The most important way to go
22:40In that way I could now be in high with death
22:47Tomorrow with my only care
22:52If I cannot deal with my own life
23:02I don't want to mistake the place to live
23:08With a place to live again
23:14I can't help myself to live the same
23:19A southpaw. A boxer who fights with a left-handed posture.
23:27He puts his right foot in front and jabs with his right.
23:31Because all of his attacks come in reverse, it's hard to set the right distance in timing.
23:36But it's strange. It might be hard going for someone fighting a southpaw for the first time.
23:42But why is Sendo's destructive power being stifled so much?
23:46Next round, the trap of the southpaw!
