1. Do you know of a man named Yujiro Hanma?Copy !req
2. The Ogre?Copy !req
3. Why do you bring up that name?Copy !req
4. He deemed the gold medal
he himself attained as "worthless,"Copy !req
5. threw it in the river, and turned pro.Copy !req
6. He swore and cursed at his opponent
in an unprecedented performance,Copy !req
7. and danced to the front stage
of the media limelight.Copy !req
8. To top it off, he called his KO's. And...Copy !req
9. made them all a reality.Copy !req
10. Draft evasion, his title stripped,
the black civil rights movement,Copy !req
11. his miraculous return to the throne.Copy !req
12. And again, made a comeback
to the throne for a third time.Copy !req
13. His countless legends are
beyond that of sports.Copy !req
14. He's become a living god.Copy !req
15. And now the name of an unthinkable man,
from this man's mouth...Copy !req
16. Why do you bring up that name?Copy !req
17. YUJIRO HANMACopy !req
18. On January 9th, 1976...Copy !req
19. I was in Japan.Copy !req
20. The "god" quietly began to tell his story.Copy !req
21. I was there to make
the fight of a century reality.Copy !req
22. A mixed match against
the Japanese pro-wrestler, Antonio Igari.Copy !req
23. At the time I thought the performance
match would be just for show.Copy !req
24. But once I heard it would be a real fight
with no holds barred,Copy !req
25. I got serious, too.Copy !req
26. My training menu was no different
than that for a title match.Copy !req
27. I did my roadwork
in the middle of the nightCopy !req
28. to avoid the media.Copy !req
29. The members were the same as usual.Copy !req
30. My strong sparring partners, including one
who later became a world champion.Copy !req
31. At about ten minutes in...Copy !req
32. First, my white partner,
John Stander disappeared.Copy !req
33. At 15 minutes in...Copy !req
34. Jack Lennon disappeared next.Copy !req
35. At 20 minutes in...Copy !req
36. I realized something was wrong.Copy !req
37. The smell of a wild animal filled the air.Copy !req
38. We were in the middle of a city,Copy !req
39. but I truly fearedCopy !req
40. that my friends were attacked
by a wild beast.Copy !req
41. Hey, Champ.Copy !req
42. The man that appeared was more
than some wild beast.Copy !req
43. His appearance was enough
for me to know...Copy !req
44. that this is the man
who made my friends disappear.Copy !req
45. I've been wishing to meet you.Copy !req
46. His presence was completely unlike that
of any of the opponents I'd fought.Copy !req
47. Even in the ring,
I hardly ever had my guard up.Copy !req
48. But for the first time,
I raised my guards.Copy !req
49. Float like a butterfly...Copy !req
50. Sting like a bee!Copy !req
51. In 1814, since modern boxing
first began to hail in England,Copy !req
52. I was the first to implement the no-guard
technique in my fighting.Copy !req
53. I didn't raise my guards.Copy !req
54. No matter what kind of monster
I was up against.Copy !req
55. That's how vast the difference was
between my opponents and I at the time.Copy !req
56. Do you understand now?Copy !req
57. The significance of me raising my guards?Copy !req
58. This man that appeared in the streets...Copy !req
59. That's how threatened I felt by him.Copy !req
60. That went in!Copy !req
61. A pro boxer like myself
could hardly mistake...Copy !req
62. that the performance he put on
was a far cry from the form of boxing.Copy !req
63. Can you even imagine?Copy !req
64. The techniques I'd spent
my entire life on...Copy !req
65. couldn't even touch him.Copy !req
66. What do you want?Copy !req
67. What are your demands?Copy !req
68. Show me.Copy !req
69. Your true skill isn't boxing.Copy !req
70. In fact...Copy !req
71. Your goal never was
to become a heavy-weight champion!Copy !req
72. What... makes you think that?Copy !req
73. It's obvious
from your moving in the ring.Copy !req
74. That's not boxing.Copy !req
75. It's all encompassing, designed
to counter all kinds of attacks.Copy !req
76. In other words, a martial art.Copy !req
77. Renowned trainers from all over the world
couldn't even begin to imagine...Copy !req
78. My dream...Copy !req
79. But you...Copy !req
80. You're not even a boxer.Copy !req
81. Just an Asian man I met on the streets.
But you see through me.Copy !req
82. Seems we're about to start the real deal.Copy !req
83. Man, you're like a different man now,
Champ.Copy !req
84. Now, this is martial arts, not boxing.Copy !req
85. Punch,Copy !req
86. strike,Copy !req
87. kick,Copy !req
88. grapple,Copy !req
89. slam,Copy !req
90. catch.Copy !req
91. An all-compatible fighting technique.Copy !req
92. You could call it...Copy !req
93. the Muhammad Ali Mixed Martial Arts!Copy !req
94. But...Copy !req
95. unfortunately it's unfinished.Copy !req
96. Because of your draft evasion,
you were stripped of your title.Copy !req
97. That three year blank out,Copy !req
98. prevented the completion
of the Ali mixed martial arts.Copy !req
99. What?Copy !req
100. But that's exactly why!Copy !req
101. It's because of
those three and a half years...Copy !req
102. That is why...Copy !req
103. world heavy weight champion,
Muhammad Ali...Copy !req
104. I respect you,Copy !req
105. Even though I am obviously weaker
than you?Copy !req
106. Even though you're obviously weaker
than me.Copy !req
107. You fought against the system
for the underprivileged blacks.Copy !req
108. You fought against the nation
for the the injured vets.Copy !req
109. You fought on behalf of all the weak.Copy !req
110. You bring hope to the powerless!Copy !req
111. That's nice to hear...Copy !req
112. It's nice to hear...Copy !req
113. but I feel despondent.Copy !req
114. Thanks to your sheer strength,
and my own weakness.Copy !req
115. I hate to lose, you know.Copy !req
116. There's always hopelessness in conflict.Copy !req
117. A champion out of prison,
with 40cm diameter fists.Copy !req
118. He was known as the world's strongest.Copy !req
119. A young gold medalist
whose rushing power was so great,Copy !req
120. he was known as
"the man who can't retreat."Copy !req
121. He fought until the final round...Copy !req
122. even after his jaw was crushed
in the second.Copy !req
123. It was said his punch could
knock out an elephant,Copy !req
124. this young and colossal champion.Copy !req
125. He too, was known as
"the world's strongest."Copy !req
126. Racial discrimination... a nation...Copy !req
127. Neither are simple enemies.Copy !req
128. It's not your fighting technique
that's great, it's your soul!Copy !req
129. Even with a nation as an opponent,
you didn't bend.Copy !req
130. It's your soul that's great!Copy !req
131. What is your dream?Copy !req
132. Power!Copy !req
133. How much?Copy !req
134. The strongest on planet Earth.Copy !req
135. By that, do you mean political power?Copy !req
136. No.Copy !req
137. I'm not talking about anything as complex
as financial or political power.Copy !req
138. I'm talking about simple,
physical, fighting power.Copy !req
139. A country's military power
stands no chance.Copy !req
140. Definitive fighting power with only
my own five sense as the criteria.Copy !req
141. Just the fact...Copy !req
142. Just the fact that there is a man
before me who truly thinks that way...Copy !req
143. is shocking to me.Copy !req
144. Please, come meet my son!Copy !req
145. GIFU PREFECTURE, HIDA MOUNTAINSCopy !req
146. Baki.Copy !req
147. Thanks for having us, Ando.Copy !req
148. Reichi Ando.Copy !req
149. A mountain ranger who lives alone
deep in the Hida Mountains,Copy !req
150. and a warrior who can bring down
a black bear with his bare hands.Copy !req
151. Baki has known him since he was young.Copy !req
152. Baki... you...Copy !req
153. I lost a little weight.Copy !req
154. Take off your shirt.Copy !req
155. The work of poison.Copy !req
156. A natural one, right?Copy !req
157. A poison from a natural source. And...Copy !req
158. There's no hospital cure.Copy !req
159. Take a seat there.Copy !req
160. Take it easy.Copy !req
161. Maybe we can go fishing for some Char.Copy !req
162. Stay and rest for as long as you want.Copy !req
163. Thank you, Ando.Copy !req
164. It's bitter.Copy !req
165. Gross.Copy !req
166. Baki...Copy !req
167. you came too late.Copy !req
168. This is my son.Copy !req
169. Or rather...Copy !req
170. He is my dream.Copy !req
171. It's just like you said.Copy !req
172. The fighting style
I was trying to perfect,Copy !req
173. wasn't one
that only worked against boxing.Copy !req
174. A perfect freestyle.Copy !req
175. A punch, kick, or grapple.Copy !req
176. A fighting style than can work
in any situation.Copy !req
177. My defense has
very few close-range techniques,Copy !req
178. like blocks and ducks.Copy !req
179. I use step-backs and sway-backs much more
because these two defensive techniques,Copy !req
180. can counter not only punches but
various other types of attacks as well.Copy !req
181. But...Copy !req
182. But after your three year blank
because of the draft evasion,Copy !req
183. you lost your footwork.Copy !req
184. As highlighted in your match in Kinshasa,Copy !req
185. your fighting style changed to that
of blocking and the rope-a-dope tactic.Copy !req
186. It's just as you say.Copy !req
187. In the end, the style I was searching
for myself, was only an illusion.Copy !req
188. Do you find shame in that?Copy !req
189. No crying!Copy !req
190. I've spread my seed all over the world.Copy !req
191. He'll make a good friend for those brats.Copy !req
192. That was a good fight.Copy !req
193. We made it.Copy !req
194. It's been four years.Copy !req
195. Peking primitives?Copy !req
196. This is Japan.Copy !req
197. I made a promise here,
that I wouldn't lose to anyone anymore.Copy !req
198. But how many times
have I lost up until today.Copy !req
199. And now...Copy !req
200. I'm about to suffer the most serious,
biggest defeat of all.Copy !req
201. Hey, long time no see.Copy !req
202. Have you forgotten, Kozue?Copy !req
203. He was a contender
in the Maximum Tournament.Copy !req
204. Yasha-Zaru Jr.Copy !req
205. A mysterious giant ape that's lived in the
mountains of Hida since ancient times.Copy !req
206. His parents were killed by Yujiro,Copy !req
207. but he feels a connection with Baki
who has sworn to avenge them.Copy !req
208. Huh?Copy !req
209. You've got a guest.Copy !req
210. Retsu!Copy !req
211. Why are you here?Copy !req
212. It's because you've worried him.Copy !req
213. I'm sorry.Copy !req
214. But...Copy !req
215. I'm glad to see you.Copy !req
216. Baki!Copy !req
217. Please leave the rest to me.Copy !req
218. Please do what you can.Copy !req
219. Wait a second!Copy !req
