1. He did it! Joe!
Copy !req
2. He finally used For the Sake of Tomorrow #3!
Copy !req
3. He did it!
Copy !req
4. brother Joe!
Copy !req
5. Rikiishi!
Copy !req
6. Wh-What just happened!
Copy !req
7. Rikiishi!
Copy !req
8. 1!
Copy !req
9. 2!
Copy !req
10. 3!
Copy !req
11. Stop it!
Copy !req
12. Don't you get it? There's no point in counting.
Copy !req
13. Whether we wait ten seconds or thirty minutes...
Copy !req
14. No, even if we wait an hour, neither of them will stand up.
Copy !req
15. What's so funny?
Copy !req
16. You uncle!
Copy !req
17. Y-You! You probably rigged this, didn't you?
Copy !req
18. Yes, that's right! As if we'd believe your nonsense!
Copy !req
19. Hey, uncle!
Copy !req
20. You probably used some sort of black magic on Rikiishi!
Copy !req
21. Black magic...
Copy !req
22. Maybe it would seem that way to you.
Copy !req
23. Yes, we probably shouldn't move those two right now.
Copy !req
24. That way, I can explain everything while they sleep.
Copy !req
25. You... Do you know about "Seki Mitsunori" and "Fighting Harada"?
Copy !req
26. Of course I do!
Copy !req
27. They're both Japanese boxing legends.
Copy !req
28. Wh-What does Th-that have to do with this?
Copy !req
29. There was a man who defeated each of them with a single punch.
Copy !req
30. That man,
Copy !req
31. was the Mexican champion, Medel; feared whenever he went near the ropes.
Copy !req
32. Seki and Harada had pushed Medel right up against the ropes,
Copy !req
33. but suddenly
Copy !req
34. Medel gave them an explosive punch.
Copy !req
35. With just that one punch, each of them ended up in a coma.
Copy !req
36. Seki and Harada were each taken down by one punch?
Copy !req
37. A-Are you saying Joe used the same punch?
Copy !req
38. That's right!
Copy !req
39. Joe used the same thing.
Copy !req
40. He used the greatest technique in boxing!
Copy !req
41. The cross counter!
Copy !req
42. C-Cross counter?
Copy !req
43. C-Cross counter!
Copy !req
44. Cross counter...
Copy !req
45. That's right! The cross counter!
Copy !req
46. In other words, strike when you are about to be hit.
Copy !req
47. Cut the flesh and break the bones.
Copy !req
48. Strike with a deadly punch at the same time.
Copy !req
49. You hit the opponent as he moves to hit you with all his power.
Copy !req
50. Your punch's power is doubled since it gains the power of his punch.
Copy !req
51. Not to mention,
Copy !req
52. during a cross counter,
Copy !req
53. you slide your arm over your opponent's, gaining leverage.
Copy !req
54. This can triple or even quadruple your punch's power.
Copy !req
55. Just thinking of it is terrifying!
Copy !req
56. On top of all that, Joe used the ropes as a spring.
Copy !req
57. No one, not even Rikiishi, could have withstood it.
Copy !req
58. In Joe's case, it was a lucky punch. Pure luck.
Copy !req
59. I was thinking about Rikiishi before the match...
Copy !req
60. I thought he might keep pounding Joe and win easily.
Copy !req
61. But for Joe, that was his greatest strength.
Copy !req
62. Joe! There is only one way for you to defeat Rikiishi!
Copy !req
63. Using my own body, I taught Joe how to use the cross counter.
Copy !req
64. And, as you gentlemen know,
Copy !req
65. Joe's special training began from there.
Copy !req
66. But, being a renowned pro boxer,
Copy !req
67. Rikiishi saw through my plan.
Copy !req
68. He then developed a plan of his own,
Copy !req
69. to attack Joe's openings as Joe rushed to hit him.
Copy !req
70. If he succeeded, Joe wouldn't stand a chance.
Copy !req
71. So, with a heavy heart, I asked for the match to continue regardless of the number of knockdowns.
Copy !req
72. This way, if Joe could survive the blood,
Copy !req
73. as well as the countless knockdowns he would take until near death,
Copy !req
74. and still manage to get back onto his feet,
Copy !req
75. then when he got up, Rikiishi would have no choice but to go for a finishing blow.
Copy !req
76. I bet everything on that moment.
Copy !req
77. And, in the end, we won!
Copy !req
78. It should be fine for me to say we won.
Copy !req
79. After all, a complete amateur fought a pro and ended the fight in a draw.
Copy !req
80. I said it was pure luck before,
Copy !req
81. but it was also due to Joe's unwavering will to get back up after each knockdown.
Copy !req
82. Joe!
Copy !req
83. I've lived my life running from one place to another.
Copy !req
84. I've been hated by many men, and sank so low to live in the slums,
Copy !req
85. but from the bottom of my heart, I'm so glad to be alive!
Copy !req
86. Isn't that right, my Joe!
Copy !req
87. Joe!
Copy !req
88. Danpei,
Copy !req
89. do you have a moment?
Copy !req
90. Sure.
Copy !req
91. What is it?
Copy !req
92. We planned to hold a tournament amongst the inmates,
Copy !req
93. but after the tragic conclusion of the earlier match,
Copy !req
94. the inmates are all nervous.
Copy !req
95. Let's not have another match today, okay?
Copy !req
96. It would be unfortunate to see any more men injured.
Copy !req
97. Next time, we will—
Copy !req
98. Wh-What is that?
Copy !req
99. Warden, over there!
Copy !req
100. Wh-What! What's going on!
Copy !req
101. What do you think you're doing!
Copy !req
102. Stop it, you stupid pervert!
Copy !req
103. M-Me too! I want to be in the tournament!
Copy !req
104. Shut up! What can a weak little bug like you do?
Copy !req
105. Be a good boy and go away!
Copy !req
106. I can still fight! Give me the gloves!
Copy !req
107. Someone as weak as you should stay outside the ring!
Copy !req
108. Boxing is not a show or a fight,
Copy !req
109. it's a sport!
Copy !req
110. I can still do it!
Copy !req
111. Get out of my way!
Copy !req
112. Wh-What's the meaning of this?
Copy !req
113. What h-has been started?
Copy !req
114. I... I think I can understand them.
Copy !req
115. They were truly impressed by what they saw.
Copy !req
116. I-Impressed?
Copy !req
117. That's right, they were impressed.
Copy !req
118. That amazing match between Rikiishi and Joe... That fight between two men.
Copy !req
119. Watching how Joe kept getting back up, even when he was covered in blood,
Copy !req
120. and the cross counter that knocked them both out...
Copy !req
121. That deeply moved them.
Copy !req
122. Moreover, behind the obvious differences between them,
Copy !req
123. were great plans, theories, and techniques.
Copy !req
124. "Boxing isn't brute strength.
Copy !req
125. If I have the will, even I can do it!"
Copy !req
126. I believe that's the powerful, manly instinct that has driven them to this.
Copy !req
127. They were deeply moved emotionally, not just logically.
Copy !req
128. I-I will join in too!
Copy !req
129. What an unexpected outcome...
Copy !req
130. So, how are we supposed to handle this?
Copy !req
131. I'd like to hear your opinion, Miss, as you're the sponsor of the boxing tournament.
Copy !req
132. I only asked my grandfather to donate some boxing gear.
Copy !req
133. At this point, I have nothing to say.
Copy !req
134. That said, I'm surprised at this outcome, too.
Copy !req
135. Here, take a look!
Copy !req
136. The order has been decided!
Copy !req
137. The tournament will now begin.
Copy !req
138. The decided opponents will fight in order.
Copy !req
139. Nishi is the referee, you say?
Copy !req
140. N-Never mind that, isn't that little fellow over there Aoyama!
Copy !req
141. Aoyama!
Copy !req
142. If you want to back out, this is your chance!
Copy !req
143. Don't blame us if you die!
Copy !req
144. R-Ridiculous! Is he really going to fight?
Copy !req
145. L-Let's stop it.
Copy !req
146. Hold it!
Copy !req
147. Warden, do you not understand a man's alternating hope and fear?
Copy !req
148. But... But, you see... Aoyama's opponent, Arai, is really violent.
Copy !req
149. If anything happens to him...
Copy !req
150. A fire has been lit in little Aoyama's heart.
Copy !req
151. Instead of trying to extinguish it,
Copy !req
152. won't you watch his burning flame?
Copy !req
153. Ring the gong!
Copy !req
154. Right! Leave it to me!
Copy !req
155. Aoyama! If make a go of it, at least make it enjoyable for us!
Copy !req
156. Hurry up and knock out that Aoyama weakling!
Copy !req
157. I understand, I understand.
Copy !req
158. But before that, I want to do what Rikiishi did.
Copy !req
159. You probably can't tell since I'm wearing my gloves,
Copy !req
160. but I'm pointing my index finger.
Copy !req
161. It won't be the first round, or even the first minute,
Copy !req
162. but just one second!
Copy !req
163. One second is all the time I need to take this weakling down!
Copy !req
164. Hey, Aoyama!
Copy !req
165. The gong has been rung, so you can hit him.
Copy !req
166. A-All right!
Copy !req
167. Hey, Aoyama, you always cry when I hit you?
Copy !req
168. Arai, what happened?
Copy !req
169. He's not half bad!
Copy !req
170. I... I took him down... w-with my punch!
Copy !req
171. 1!
Copy !req
172. 2!
Copy !req
173. 3!
Copy !req
174. You really did it!
Copy !req
175. How dare you!
Copy !req
176. Hold it!
Copy !req
177. You need to get the tar from the floor off your gloves.
Copy !req
178. Shut up, let me go!
Copy !req
179. Do you think I'm a blind old fool!
Copy !req
180. If you won't listen to the referee, you'll be disqualified!
Copy !req
181. Okay.
Copy !req
182. Hey, Arai! What happened to taking him down in one second?
Copy !req
183. Did you mean you'd get knocked down in one second?
Copy !req
184. All right, we will now resume the match.
Copy !req
185. Fight!
Copy !req
186. Curse you, Aoyama. I won't go easy on you this time!
Copy !req
187. S-Strong, isn't he!
Copy !req
188. Go, go, Aoyama! Knock him down again!
Copy !req
189. You scum!
Copy !req
190. Wait!
Copy !req
191. You...
Copy !req
192. That was dirty, you thug!
Copy !req
193. You rang the gong right when Aoyama was open!
Copy !req
194. Boxing has rules, you know!
Copy !req
195. Go rest, Aoyama.
Copy !req
196. D-Curse it! You piece of...
Copy !req
197. Arai! The first round is over!
Copy !req
198. Can't you win?
Copy !req
199. Shut up! Just wait and see!
Copy !req
200. I'll finish this with one punch!
Copy !req
201. Arai! Which punch will end the match?
Copy !req
202. You don't have a clue, do you?
Copy !req
203. What do you think of those cheerful inmates' faces?
Copy !req
204. They're all engrossed in this, aren't they, Miss?
Copy !req
205. Miss...
Copy !req
206. There is no doubt. No doubt whatsoever. This is all so unexpected.
Copy !req
207. I've never seen them this happy and excited.
Copy !req
208. Of course, everyone was pleased with my performance,
Copy !req
209. but was that joy from the bottom of their hearts?
Copy !req
210. They called me "Sunday's Angel,"
Copy !req
211. just because I came to this island every week.
Copy !req
212. Miss,
Copy !req
213. you're so condescending, as though you come from above the clouds.
Copy !req
214. Boxing.
Copy !req
215. This time, it's preaching from above?
Copy !req
216. No... That's not true, not true!
Copy !req
217. What's wrong?
Copy !req
218. Don't you want to watch the boxing match, children?
Copy !req
219. I don't want to watch weak fighters.
Copy !req
220. Just looking at them will hurt our eyes.
Copy !req
221. What's wrong, Aoyama? What happened to the spirit you had?
Copy !req
222. It's cowardly to run away!
Copy !req
223. Wait!
Copy !req
224. I-I'm not running away!
Copy !req
225. I'm just doing what Yabuki did!
Copy !req
226. You thug, looking down on me!
Copy !req
227. I can barely feel your punches through those gloves!
Copy !req
228. How was that? Giving up yet?
Copy !req
229. These gloves are really heavy!
Copy !req
230. It seems like you're finally tired out!
Copy !req
231. You thug! How dare you look down on me...
Copy !req
232. Curse you!
Copy !req
233. Aoyama's really angered Arai now!
Copy !req
234. Eat this!
Copy !req
235. Cross counter!
Copy !req
236. He did it!
Copy !req
237. Way to go, Aoyama!
Copy !req
238. You're really awesome, Aoyama!
Copy !req
239. Nice!
Copy !req
240. It's not quite like Yabuki's cross counter, but the principle is the same.
Copy !req
241. 1!
Copy !req
242. 2!
Copy !req
243. Arai, that was pathetic. Was that all just talk?
Copy !req
244. That's right!
Copy !req
245. This is my chance for revenge for all his bullying.
Copy !req
246. I'll deliver a finishing blow with all my strength!
Copy !req
247. You...
Copy !req
248. H-Hey, you!
Copy !req
249. That's against the rules! You'll be disqualified!
Copy !req
250. B-But... this is the perfect chance to get him!
Copy !req
251. This isn't some brawl!
Copy !req
252. This is boxing! Now, go back to a neutral corner!
Copy !req
253. Th-These gloves are restricting my punches.
Copy !req
254. Curse it.
Copy !req
255. Hey! Hold it!
Copy !req
256. You, too! This is boxing, not a brawl!
Copy !req
257. You scum!
Copy !req
258. Put your gloves back on!
Copy !req
259. N-No!
Copy !req
260. I don't care what you say, I'll take him down with my bare fists!
Copy !req
261. Ah!
Copy !req
262. I-Idiot! What are you doing!
Copy !req
263. Hey! Wh—
Copy !req
264. We're boxing!
Copy !req
265. You took off your gloves in the middle of a boxing match!
Copy !req
266. Hey, idiots!
Copy !req
267. Stop it! Just because I...
Copy !req
268. He lost! He lost! Take him down!
Copy !req
269. Take him down!
Copy !req
270. Hey, referee!
Copy !req
271. Declare Aoyama as the winner!
Copy !req
272. All right.
Copy !req
273. The winner is Aoyama!
Copy !req
274. Way to go, Aoyama!
Copy !req
275. Rikiishi...
Copy !req
276. Joe... You did well.
Copy !req
277. I lost.
Copy !req
278. Do your best, Kawamoto!
Copy !req
279. Hey, don't lose now!
Copy !req
280. You... You!
Copy !req
281. Hey! Where are you aiming!
Copy !req
282. My, my, my. No matter what's said or done, this is really bad.
Copy !req
283. My thoughts exactly. It's a combination of freestyle fighting and sloppy boxing.
Copy !req
284. I can't bear to watch it.
Copy !req
285. But...
Copy !req
286. But I think it's a splendid match.
Copy !req
287. Before we knew it, everyone decided on proper rules amongst themselves.
Copy !req
288. The inmates, who were sent here because they couldn't abide by the rules of society,
Copy !req
289. are now creating and abiding by their own rules, of their own volition.
Copy !req
290. You're right that they're fighting with intense anger,
Copy !req
291. but they're learning how to fight to the end according to the rules, just like those two...
Copy !req
292. Just like Yabuki and Rikiishi!
Copy !req
293. That's right! It's just as you said, Miss. Just as you said!
Copy !req
294. They were moved by the blood and the countless knockdowns in Joe and Rikiishi's match.
Copy !req
295. They were moved so deeply that the rules were embedded in their hearts without their knowledge.
Copy !req
296. 1!
Copy !req
297. 2!
Copy !req
298. 3!
Copy !req
299. Hey, Kawamoto, what's wrong?
Copy !req
300. Kawamoto! Stand up!
Copy !req
301. Stand up!
Copy !req
302. Fight!
Copy !req
303. Hey, you two! Hold your gloves tightly!
Copy !req
304. That way, the gloves will weigh half as much,
Copy !req
305. and the power of your punches will increase!
Copy !req
306. I've given Joe a test,
Copy !req
307. and he might feel betrayed.
Copy !req
308. Now, for Joe, whose boxing soul has just awakened,
Copy !req
309. which way is tomorrow!
Copy !req
