01:29It's a lot harder for me to ignore Kamigawa Gym.
01:32Looks like there's more to it than that.
01:34Here's a cablegram.
01:35Huh?
01:36What's this?
01:37What?
01:38Hey, boss, listen.
01:40Yeah?
01:41I gotta skip the meeting.
01:42Sorry.
01:42Have it without me.
01:43Why?
01:44What's going on?
01:45I gotta do an interview over at the Kamigawa Gym.
01:47See you later.
01:49Oh, yeah?
01:49Kamigawa Gym.
01:51All right.
01:51Oh, feels like it's been a long time.
02:02Yeah, well, it's only been a week, you know.
02:04That's why I said like.
02:06All right.
02:07You're dismissed for today.
02:08You guys did a good job at camp, everyone.
02:10Now go home and get some rest, and we'll start training hard tomorrow.
02:14Especially Takamura and the kid.
02:15They got matches coming up.
02:16Are you leaving now?
02:20That's a shame I stopped in because I was told you'd be in today, Mr. Kamigawa.
02:25Oh, yeah.
02:25You're from Shin-nihan Gym.
02:28Hey, isn't that guy...
02:30Actually, I need a favor from you.
02:34What is it?
02:35I was wondering if I could have a match between Shigeta and Makono Uchi.
02:39You want them to spar?
02:41Right now?
02:42Is that it?
02:43I know it's a lot to ask at this moment, a huge favor,
02:45but he has this title match against Takeshi Sendoh coming up at the end of the month,
02:49and I wanted him in with a hard hitter.
02:52I thought so.
02:55Shigeta's ranked fourth in Japanese featherweights.
02:57He's Sendoh's next opponent.
03:00I thought he could gain some confidence.
03:02You know, if you let him spar with your fighter.
03:05Hmm.
03:06Oh, yeah.
03:07Gain some confidence by sparring with Ippo?
03:10That shouldn't be a problem, though I can't guarantee he'll gain any confidence.
03:14Hey, kid!
03:15Sir?
03:16Suit up!
03:17Right!
03:22Your opponent is ready to fight.
03:24Go ahead and blast him from the get-go!
03:26Yes, sir.
03:28I intend to.
03:30I want to find out what kind of guy Sendoh will be fighting.
03:33Come on, Ippo!
03:44What are you doing?
03:45Focus!
03:45You're getting hit nonstop!
03:47Come on!
03:47That's strange.
03:49I can't establish a rhythm.
03:53It's happening again.
03:55My timing and sense of distance are completely off.
03:57All right, Shigeta.
03:58Go on in and take him.
04:00Something strange.
04:02I know I'm tired, but I've never been this choppy before.
04:07Darn it.
04:08Whenever I try to go in, I'm stopped by a right jab.
04:11Oh, right jab.
04:13You got him clustered now.
04:14Come on, let him have it.
04:15This is irritating!
04:20Hey, Ippo!
04:21Just hit him!
04:22Don't you guys get it yet?
04:25Take a good look, boys.
04:27It should get a stance.
04:28If he's using a right jab...
04:31That means his right leg is in front.
04:34This guy's a southpaw!
04:37Hey!
04:38This guy's left-handed!
04:40His right and his left hand are mixed around.
04:42You see, it's a lot more difficult to fight a southpaw boxer.
04:46Is this Ippo's first time against a left-handed boxer?
04:51The positioning of his legs, everything is different.
04:54Of course he'd be taken off guard without background knowledge.
04:59On the other hand, southpaws are used to fighting righties, so they have it easy.
05:05Come on, Ippo!
05:07Focus!
05:07Hit him back!
05:08Big guy, can't you tell him how to position himself correctly?
05:12You know, believe it or not, I've never fought a southpaw.
05:17Actually, neither have I.
05:19Hey, I got to fight a southpaw one time.
05:21No kidding?
05:22Well, then get in there and advise him, huh?
05:24Right on!
05:25Hey, Ippo, I want you to listen to me!
05:29What's wrong?
05:30Advise him already.
05:31I lost him 30 seconds, so I don't remember it all that clearly.
05:34You idiot!
05:35So what advice did you think you were gonna give him?
05:38Thanks for taking the time to spar with me.
05:45Um, it was my pleasure, Shigeta.
05:47Nice workout, huh?
05:49Not really.
05:49Huh?
05:50What's that?
05:51I'm disappointed.
05:53The next time we fight, let's make it a real match when we're both at our best, okay?
05:56Uh, yeah, you bet.
06:01The next time will be for real, huh?
06:03He thinks he's beaten Sendo already!
06:06I'd say you gave him plenty of confidence.
06:08I'm sorry.
06:09I had no idea how difficult it would be fighting against a southpaw.
06:13Right now you're at peak exhaustion.
06:15I knew that no matter who you sparred with, it wouldn't come out well.
06:18However, there is a possibility that your title match opponent could end up being Shigeta.
06:24So for the time being, there's no harm in finding out about him.
06:27Now go home and get some rest.
06:34My title match opponent could change.
06:37I never thought of that.
06:38But it wasn't difficult fighting Shigeta just because he's a southpaw.
06:42He's got considerable talent.
06:45And that sparring match didn't feel like he was going all out.
06:47I'm sure Sendo doesn't have the experience of fighting a left-handed boxer either.
06:53And they do say that boxing is unpredictable.
06:57Hi, Mom, I'm home.
06:59Welcome back.
07:00Hey, Ippo.
07:01Hey, thank you for covering for me, Umezawa.
07:04Don't worry about it, Ippo. Anytime, really.
07:07Hey, tell me, is this article true?
07:09Huh?
07:14What a strange-looking article.
07:15Come on, Ippo. Is it true or not?
07:19Yeah, well, actually, it is a true story.
07:21Man, is this guy amazing or what?
07:23He's finally become a superhuman.
07:26That's funny.
07:28I was with Takamura until a moment ago, so no reporters could have gotten to him.
07:32Just when you think you know someone, they turn around and do this.
07:41Ippo, the phone's for you.
07:43Okay, Mom, thank you.
07:45Who is it?
07:45I have no idea who he is, but he sure sounds excited.
07:49Hmm.
07:50Um, Maka no Uchi speaking.
07:51It's me.
07:52What? It's me.
07:54That's right, me.
07:55Um, oh.
07:57Is this you, Sendo?
07:59Right. It's me, Sendo.
08:01Hello, it's been a long time.
08:03Skip the hellos.
08:04Anyway, I saw the evening edition.
08:06Is it true?
08:08Evening edition?
08:09Um, do you mean about killing the bear?
08:11It's a useless tabloid, Greg, that always prints nothing but lies, so I can't trust it.
08:15However, if this is true, it's big news, you know.
08:18Well, I didn't actually get to see it, but it is my understanding that one bear did end up dead.
08:23So it is true.
08:24What an incredible guy that Takamura is.
08:27So what did you want?
08:28That was it.
08:30Ugh.
08:31I had to know about the bear if it was true or not.
08:33It was driving me nuts.
08:34Never mind the bear.
08:35What kind of boxing shape are you in?
08:37Well, I'm in great shape.
08:38If I ran into a bear right now, I wouldn't be afraid to take him on.
08:41Look, I really don't care about the bear.
08:43I can even fight you right now if you want.
08:45What do you say?
08:46You want to have a fight?
08:47That's how great a shape I'm in.
08:49Oh, never mind me.
08:50You've got an actual opponent coming up.
08:53Shigeta, he's ranked fourth.
08:54Oh, yeah, him.
08:56He doesn't interest me, so I forgot about him.
08:59Huh?
08:59Hey, listen.
09:00You've got to be really careful around Shigeta.
09:03He's really hard to fight.
09:04Ugh.
09:05Hard to fight?
09:06How interesting.
09:08Where'd you get that?
09:10Have you fought Shigeta before?
09:12Uh, yes.
09:13I didn't want to say anything because I don't want to sound like an informant.
09:15But I fought him for about three rounds before.
09:18Oh, if you found him hard to fight, he has to be a southpaw.
09:23Do you think I'd sit around doing nothing while you're out camping in the mountains?
09:28Well, of course I don't.
09:29I'm certain you're ready.
09:31After all, he is your opponent.
09:33I've got no plans.
09:34I told you, he doesn't interest me.
09:37I've only heard of him.
09:38I haven't formulated a plan of attack because it's not that important.
09:43All I'm concentrating on is defeating you at our next fight.
09:48What's that sound?
09:50I have no idea what's so great about this Shigeta character, but if you're that worried,
09:53I'll send you a ticket to my title match.
09:55You'll be able to see how much better I've gotten.
09:59Would you like that?
10:01Um, yeah, sure.
10:03Send me a ticket.
10:04I'd appreciate that.
10:07He's gotten even better.
10:09What kind of training has he been doing?
10:11Wait, Makanouchi.
10:13Yeah, Sendoh, I'm here.
10:15Incidentally.
10:15Which ticket do you want?
10:19Which one?
10:20The $100 tickets for the Red Corner site are a real bargain.
10:25What?
10:25You mean it's not free?
10:40Oh, I wonder what's going on in there.
10:42Good afternoon.
10:46Ah!
10:47Hey, Ippo, would you spar with me?
10:49Yeah, we're fed up with this crap.
10:50What's up?
10:51Just look at him over there!
10:53The area behind me was full of trees and I had nowhere else to run.
10:56That's when the bear, standing on his hind legs like this, charged at me!
11:00Naturally, it freaked me out, but it was a do or die thing, you see?
11:03How did you take the bear down?
11:05Yeah, did you punch him out?
11:06The counter to the brow hit the bear square.
11:08And he fell with a big thud.
11:10At the time, I was really rattled by the huge force of the punch.
11:15I discovered again just how powerful I was.
11:18Can you believe he's been doing a one-man show like that for an hour and a half?
11:21I'd be fed up, too.
11:23You've had enough, haven't you?
11:24Hey, we need to start training.
11:26Now get the hell out.
11:27Sure, thanks.
11:28See ya.
11:29Are you leaving?
11:30I was just getting to the really good part.
11:32You crabby old party pooper!
11:35Quit your belly aching and start your training!
11:37Your fight opponent is not a bear, it's a human being who thinks with his head!
11:41He's studying your every move!
11:42Now get to work!
11:43All right, I'll...
11:44Huh?
11:45Oh, Fuji, didn't know you were here.
11:48You don't change a bit, do you, Takamura?
11:50That stingy old man is the one who doesn't change.
11:53Why in the world is he that fussy?
11:55It's only natural.
11:56Anybody would be nervous if there was talk of a world title in the offing.
12:00World title?
12:01Who's fighting?
12:02You're such a kidder, I'm talking about your fight.
12:06T-Takamura?
12:09A world title fight?
12:12Yeah!
12:13You idiot, you just spilled it!
12:14Oh, no, were you keeping it a secret?
12:17Hey, Chief!
12:18Is this really true?
12:19When is it, huh?
12:20Well, Chief...
12:23Ah, dammit, you've already heard Fuji, I might as well tell you.
12:26It's not quite finalized, but people were testing the waters,
12:28wanting you to have a match with the second-ranked world junior middleweight
12:31as a preliminary bout to the world title.
12:34In world middleweight, you're currently ranked 16th.
12:36Your opponent probably thinks you'll serve as a convenient setup for fine-tuning.
12:40But if you manage to knock him down, you'll be ranked second in the world, and...
12:44you'll definitely receive rights to challenge for the world title!
12:47That's awesome!
12:48It's happening, finally!
12:50Didn't I just say it's not final?
12:52For now, discard all distractions and focus on the next match.
12:56You got it?
12:57Hey, I'm talking to you!
13:03I can hear ya!
13:04Loud and clear!
13:05I'm sorry, Chief, I had no idea the match was supposed to be a secret.
13:16Fine, don't worry.
13:17You know, he's better off knowing about the match.
13:21It's been a long time, since we saw that much intensity and determination on his face.
13:27You'll get a whole different brand of enthusiasm when achieving your goal becomes a realistic possibility.
13:34Once he's like that, he's tough!
13:36Too tough to handle!
13:37If it does get settled, it'll be Kamigawa Jim's first world title match, and just maybe...
13:45the birth of a world champion!
13:48I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it!
13:53I can't stand still!
13:55I've gotta get a piece of his enthusiasm!
13:56Wow, it looks like he's really gotten into it.
14:02We'll continue to carry on at our own pace.
14:04Clear our own hurdles, one at a time, and stay focused!
14:08I see.
14:09Well, since this seems like as good a time as any, there's a woman from the office who wants to write boxing articles.
14:15I thought I'd introduce you.
14:16A woman?
14:17That's really unusual!
14:19Well, actually, she's so pushy, she tagged along without even asking.
14:22She's something else.
14:23If you don't want to introduce me, that's fine.
14:27I'll speak for myself.
14:29My name is Mari Imura.
14:30Pleased to meet you.
14:31Hi.
14:33Hey, if she's that cute, I'd be willing to put up with a little cockiness.
14:37You sure?
14:38If you ever want an interview, don't hesitate.
14:40I always accommodate the beautiful women.
14:42Knock it off.
14:43Just be yourself.
14:44Pretend I'm one of the guys.
14:46I need you to act natural, or I can't write the truth.
14:49And I don't want to be given any special treatment just because I'm a girl.
14:52Yeah, right.
14:54I can't get honest feedback that way, right?
14:56The important thing is to write an honest and accurate article.
14:59See, I told you she was cocky.
15:01Well, a little bit's okay, isn't it?
15:03She's babelicious.
15:04Sure about that?
15:05So who are some of the boxers that you like?
15:07You want to write about boxing, so you must know a lot about it, right?
15:10Yes, that's right.
15:12The best ones I can come up with off the top of my head are Hearns, Leonard, and Duran.
15:16Wow.
15:17She knows some of the greatest of all time.
15:19Okay, how about within the country?
15:20Unfortunately, I have no Japanese favorites.
15:23Oh, come on.
15:24You're not saying you're comparing us to Leonard and the others, are you?
15:27Those guys are all legendary boxers.
15:28You're not saying that.
15:30No, it's just that I've seen a lot of great fights in Vegas and Mexico.
15:34I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news,
15:36but the Japanese boxing champs are not very competitive next to the rest of the world.
15:39You'll find fighters so superior in other countries
15:42that the Japanese don't even start to compare on the lowest level.
15:46Once you realize the situation,
15:48it's unrealistic to feel any enthusiasm for Japanese fighters.
15:51Oh, sure.
15:53Mexico and Las Vegas, that's cool.
15:55You didn't say why you brought her here.
15:56You said you could put up with her, didn't you?
15:58Besides, I didn't bring her.
16:00She followed me.
16:05That's Takamura, the Japanese middleweight champ.
16:09Hey, dollface!
16:16Huh? What is it?
16:18You don't mean to say that Mr. Takamura would be considered
16:20a four-to-six-round-class fighter in the rest of the world, do you?
16:23Well, actually, no.
16:25The back muscle that determines the pivoting power of his combinations
16:28and the destructive power of his punches
16:30is incredibly strong and his balance is excellent.
16:34And I've also seen a couple of his matches.
16:37He's the exception.
16:37I believe he has the potential to be the best in the world,
16:41despite being Japanese.
16:42So you do have eyes.
16:43How very nice.
16:44She's sharp.
16:45She knows what she's talking about.
16:48He really is the only Japanese middleweight
16:50who can fight competitively.
16:52But who's that next to him?
16:54Oh, that's Ippo Makano Uchi.
17:03Wow.
17:03He really looks like a different person than the one who lost to Eiji Date.
17:07He's really gotten himself into incredible shape.
17:12I just may have stumbled on a story.
17:15She was your type, wasn't she?
17:21She's a little too cocky for me,
17:23but don't you find it kind of shocking?
17:25What do you mean?
17:27Takamura!
17:27There was a woman in the gym,
17:29and he's so focused on training
17:30that he didn't even notice she was here.
17:32Yeah, now that you mention it.
17:34I guess being a challenger for the world title
17:36is too distracting even for him.
17:39I have to say that's an improvement.
17:41If possible, I'd like to see him run with it
17:43and step up to the challenge.
17:44If in the worst case scenario,
17:46the talks fall through,
17:47but he still manages to keep winning,
17:48the chance will still come his way.
17:50Yeah, that's true, it will.
17:54But you know,
17:55that wouldn't be good for us.
17:58We don't want it to fall through.
18:00We're already all pumped up about it.
18:05We'll definitely come home with it.
18:07The Kamigawa gym
18:08with a world championship belt.
18:15Wow, the world title, huh?
18:21That's amazing.
18:22He's so pumped up and determined
18:23his training is beyond amazing.
18:26It's exciting.
18:27I guess the whole gym's buzzing with talk about it.
18:30Actually, no one there dares to speak the word world.
18:33Huh?
18:34Mr. Takamura himself
18:35has become completely silent and more intense.
18:39He's in such a state that I hesitate
18:41before trying to talk to him.
18:43I guess even a guy like that can feel the pressure.
18:47Yeah, I guess.
18:49But I've never seen him deal with anything this big.
18:52I've got a feeling he'll accomplish something really big.
18:55I hear the tickets are sold out.
18:59That's because the Bear Killer news
19:01hit the variety shows.
19:02A standing revolting stadium for a semi-final match.
19:05There's not a snowball chance in hell
19:07we'd lose these fights.
19:08But those guys are really worked up, too.
19:10They better do their best,
19:11because once my match starts,
19:13the spectators will probably forget everything else.
19:15All they'll remember will be me and my superiority.
19:17We'll fight a match they'll remember, too.
19:19Don't worry.
19:20We'll show them how hard we worked in camp
19:22and overshadow you and your main event, mister.
19:25Sorry, but not this time.
19:26With the overpowering light that I have on me,
19:29you'll probably be reduced to mere flickering shadows.
19:32This time, my entrance alone will rock the hall.
19:35It will be magnificent.
19:36My entrance will be more powerful
19:38than anything you've ever seen.
19:41He's definitely in a class all by himself.
19:44It's like his gruesomeness has increased.
19:46Yeah, you're right.
19:47It's really freaking me out.
19:50I know he's going to make it happen.
19:53There's no doubt in my mind he'll make it happen.
20:07Huh?
20:08Incredible!
20:10They're lined up for miles in front of the hall.
20:13They must be here to see Mr. Takamura box.
20:16He's always been a popular boxer with a large following.
20:18But there's so much more publicity for this match than usual.
20:22I wonder what he meant by something that would rock the hall.
20:26Huh?
20:28Whoa!
20:30Hey, that guy's being attacked by the dog!
20:33Hey, I know you.
20:39You're Hachi.
20:42But if you're here, that means that...
20:44Hachi isn't just a dog.
20:45He's like family.
20:46What are you talking about?
20:47Please, sir.
20:48Don't give me so much trouble.
20:49Mr. Nakoda!
20:51Huh?
20:51Oh, Makanaluchi!
20:53Oh, Mr. Makanaluchi.
20:54Do you know this gentleman?
20:55I'm having a bit of a hard time with him.
20:57No, it's nothing like that.
20:58He's just saying I'm not allowed to take Hachi inside with me.
21:01I'm sorry, sir, but regulations don't allow dogs inside.
21:05Hachi isn't just a dog.
21:07He's a member of my family.
21:10I'm sorry, Hachi.
21:14Wait here for a while, okay, boy?
21:16Exactly what's in this bag?
21:28It's something Takamura asked me to deliver.
21:30Deliver this thing?
21:33Oh, yeah.
21:34Something will happen.
21:35That's the truth.
21:36Huh?
21:38I'm sorry I forced you to tag along with me, Kumi.
21:41It's all right.
21:41I didn't have any other plans today.
21:43Oh, I'm so worried about him.
21:45I hope Masaru will win.
21:47Oh, don't worry.
21:48He'll be great.
21:48Let's cheer for him with everything we've got.
21:50Did you hear?
21:51Takamura has announced that the fight and his victory will be so devastating that it will rock the hall.
21:56He sounds really enthusiastic about it.
22:15I'm so worried about it.
22:16I'm so worried about it.
22:20I came out again with my wounded body.
22:29Tomorrow's the only way to go.
22:36I make that way to go.
22:39Oh, thank you very much.
22:43I will be here tomorrow if I only can
22:51Give me back again with my love
23:00But I don't want to be safe
23:05It's a place to live with a place to live
23:12I can't help myself remember the same
23:18Middleweight, the competition is fierce on a worldwide scale
23:27It's a class in which speed, technique and strength are far more advanced
23:32To stand at the peak, you must display a superior command of power and technique
23:38A way of fighting that displays awareness of the world
23:41It's the match of someone who is light years ahead of me
23:44Next round, the Chief's Peril
