1. What's going on down there?Copy !req
2. Nishi!Copy !req
3. Oh, so he's training.Copy !req
4. He has enthusiasm, to be training alone.Copy !req
5. But it still looks dark outside...Copy !req
6. Hey, Nishi! What time is it?Copy !req
7. Nishi! What time is it?Copy !req
8. Oh, you're awake, Joe.Copy !req
9. Morning.Copy !req
10. I'm asking you what time it is!Copy !req
11. The time? Uh... 4:30.Copy !req
12. 4:30?Copy !req
13. 4:30 in the morning?Copy !req
14. You're starting to scare me.Copy !req
15. Training this early... He's a freak.Copy !req
16. Keep it down! I'm trying to sleep!Copy !req
17. Oh, sorry about that.Copy !req
18. I'll try to keep it down.Copy !req
19. Ah...Copy !req
20. Uncle...Copy !req
21. Hey, Nishi! Where's Uncle?Copy !req
22. Hey, Nishi!Copy !req
23. This bike I found in the scrapyard might be useful after all!Copy !req
24. Doesn't look like I'll be getting any more sleep anyway...Copy !req
25. What? Waking up?Copy !req
26. You're a light sleeper after all, Joe.Copy !req
27. Say what you want, you thick-skinned thug.Copy !req
28. Hey, before you put that on, take a look!Copy !req
29. Uncle got these for you, Joe.Copy !req
30. A training shirt and trousers.Copy !req
31. Plus a towel and a pair of athletic shoes.Copy !req
32. What do you think?Copy !req
33. They're all brand new.Copy !req
34. Get changed quickly, then come down and wash your face!Copy !req
35. Wow. These new things are nice.Copy !req
36. Oh, you're awake, Joe.Copy !req
37. You're up early.Copy !req
38. I didn't wake up, I was woken up against my will.Copy !req
39. Oh, thanks for the clothes and the shoes, uncle.Copy !req
40. You seem to like them.Copy !req
41. Does Nishi always start practice this early?Copy !req
42. This is a step above the training for the juvenile prison boxing tournament.Copy !req
43. He's trying to take off into the harsh world of pro boxing.Copy !req
44. Now, time for some road work!Copy !req
45. Get yourself ready, Nishi!Copy !req
46. Yes!Copy !req
47. All right!Copy !req
48. I'll do this! I'll do it, uncle!Copy !req
49. One, two, one, two...Copy !req
50. Keep going!Copy !req
51. One, two...Copy !req
52. Keep your chins up!Copy !req
53. Nishi, relax your upper body!Copy !req
54. R-Right...Copy !req
55. Stop, uncle.Copy !req
56. We're not rats. Why are we running through these narrow, dirty streets?Copy !req
57. Paved roads are too hard for road work.Copy !req
58. It'll leave your ankles and joints aching.Copy !req
59. But you've just given me these new clothes!Copy !req
60. Let's just run on the main roads for once!Copy !req
61. Enough complaining.Copy !req
62. Just shut up and run!Copy !req
63. That bike's pretty noisy, but not as noisy as the man riding it.Copy !req
64. Now, then...Copy !req
65. It's too early to be exhausted.Copy !req
66. Let's go inside and work up another sweat!Copy !req
67. Wh-What?Copy !req
68. We have to do more?Copy !req
69. You must be joking!Copy !req
70. My legs are worn-out!Copy !req
71. And my stomach's empty!Copy !req
72. Joe!Copy !req
73. Fine, I understand.Copy !req
74. Well, looks like someone's dressed up quite sharply!Copy !req
75. Where are you heading to?Copy !req
76. The Japanese Boxing Association office.Copy !req
77. The Japanese Boxing Association?Copy !req
78. I will get the commissioner to formally recognize the Tange Boxing Gym.Copy !req
79. Who's this commissioner you're talking about?Copy !req
80. Listen well, Joe.Copy !req
81. If Tange Boxing Gym is formally recognised by the Japanese Boxing Association,Copy !req
82. then the day will soon be, when you and Nishi can fight in the white ring as pro boxers!Copy !req
83. Your tomorrows and my dreams are about to bloom!Copy !req
84. Now that's amazing, uncle!Copy !req
85. Now that's amazing, uncle!Copy !req
86. Well, I'll be off.Copy !req
87. Nishi, take over coaching Joe!Copy !req
88. Yes! Right away!Copy !req
89. Oh, no!Copy !req
90. We have to skip for another four rounds!Copy !req
91. Four rounds, eh?Copy !req
92. I've worked up a good enough sweat, and my stomach's empty.Copy !req
93. The white ring of the pros...Copy !req
94. Wait for me, Rikiishi.Copy !req
95. We got to make it before it opens!Copy !req
96. Nishi, where are you taking me?Copy !req
97. G-Good morning!Copy !req
98. Hey, Nishi.Copy !req
99. Y-Yohko!Copy !req
100. Y-Yohko!Copy !req
101. What's the matter, Joe?Copy !req
102. You could at least say hello!Copy !req
103. This is Hayashi the grocer and his daughter Noriko.Copy !req
104. Noriko?Copy !req
105. Oh, so you're not Yohko.Copy !req
106. So you're the Yabuki who fought Rikiishi, a professional six-round boxer, to a draw!Copy !req
107. Let's have a look at your arm!Copy !req
108. Oh, it's a little skinny, but it's rather good!Copy !req
109. Your wrists are nice and strong!Copy !req
110. But your jaw looks a bit weak.Copy !req
111. Now let me see your abs.Copy !req
112. Not bad. You have muscles showing!Copy !req
113. Stop it, uncle!Copy !req
114. I'm not some doll, you know!Copy !req
115. Stop it, Joe!Copy !req
116. It's nothing. A boxer has to be at least this aggressive.Copy !req
117. I'm sorry, he doesn't know his manners.Copy !req
118. Joe, this man is my boss. He's employing me.Copy !req
119. He may be your boss, but to me he's just a stranger!Copy !req
120. No, Joe, he's your boss, too!Copy !req
121. Nishi... Boss...?Copy !req
122. Nishi... Boss...?Copy !req
123. You mean I will...?Copy !req
124. That's right. You have to do more than just boxing.Copy !req
125. You have to work! You have to work!Copy !req
126. That's just common sense!Copy !req
127. Working at a grocery...Copy !req
128. That's just not my style...Copy !req
129. Come on, pick it up. We don't need men who are hesitant.Copy !req
130. All right, lets get to work!Copy !req
131. Come on, Joe. Help me out.Copy !req
132. At least introduce yourself!Copy !req
133. Ah!Copy !req
134. I'm Yabuki Joe! Nice to meet you!Copy !req
135. Welcome!Copy !req
136. Hurry up! My children are waiting at home hungry!Copy !req
137. Here, thanks for the wait!Copy !req
138. Welcome! Three slices of salmon, isn't it? Here you go!Copy !req
139. The thicker the better.Copy !req
140. I'll give you these for the low cost of 40 yen!Copy !req
141. Thanks for the wait! Here you are!Copy !req
142. You want one of these?Copy !req
143. Thanks for your business!Copy !req
144. Thanks for your business!Copy !req
145. Thanks for waiting!Copy !req
146. Just one second!Copy !req
147. Hey, you there.Copy !req
148. Do you work at this store?Copy !req
149. Y-Yes, but...Copy !req
150. Don't give me, "Yes, but"!Copy !req
151. Hurry up and get me some shirataki!Copy !req
152. I need some, too.Copy !req
153. Uh, where's the shirataki?Copy !req
154. Right here! This barrel!Copy !req
155. I need two packs of natto.Copy !req
156. Come on, hurry!Copy !req
157. Hey, my ginger comes first!Copy !req
158. I need some preserved clams!Copy !req
159. So this is Shirataki...Copy !req
160. Take them.Copy !req
161. I can't take them home like that!Copy !req
162. Wrap them up, will you?Copy !req
163. Really, what's the matter with you?Copy !req
164. U-Uh... right.Copy !req
165. What about the natto?Copy !req
166. Something to wrap it in...Copy !req
167. My ginger! I need ginger!Copy !req
168. What about the shirataki?Copy !req
169. Hurry up!Copy !req
170. How long do we wait?Copy !req
171. Hurry up!Copy !req
172. Ginger! I need ginger!Copy !req
173. Shut up!Copy !req
174. Stop all that shouting!Copy !req
175. I only have two hands, you dumb buzzards!Copy !req
176. You're all so selfish!Copy !req
177. I'm new here! Wait your turn!Copy !req
178. Ready, men? Don't you dare buy from anyone but brother Joe!Copy !req
179. Roger that!Copy !req
180. But you know, I just can't see brother Joe as a grocery store clerk.Copy !req
181. Now that's weird, I don't see brother Joe anywhere.Copy !req
182. You think he was fired?Copy !req
183. See, just like I thought.Copy !req
184. What do you children want?Copy !req
185. We came to buy something from brother Joe.Copy !req
186. So, where's Joe?Copy !req
187. About that...Copy !req
188. Fired?Copy !req
189. No, not at all!Copy !req
190. He's doing some work inside!Copy !req
191. What? Inside? You mean doing the accounts or something?Copy !req
192. Well, something like that.Copy !req
193. Wow, he's doing some serious work.Copy !req
194. Hey, Sachi, do you think maybe he's...Copy !req
195. What do you think?Copy !req
196. What?Copy !req
197. What's the meaning of this? You made it too big again!Copy !req
198. Cut it smaller, all right? Smaller!Copy !req
199. R-Right...Copy !req
200. We're not selling mattress padding!Copy !req
201. And what's with the way you're putting the glue on?Copy !req
202. You only need a little bit!Copy !req
203. Oh, my! My!Copy !req
204. Hey, Noriko!Copy !req
205. You'd better get to school, or you'll be late!Copy !req
206. Right! I'll go now!Copy !req
207. Oh?Copy !req
208. Morning.Copy !req
209. Oh, what are you all doing there?Copy !req
210. We just wanted to see Joe at work...Copy !req
211. So how's brother Joe's doing at his job?Copy !req
212. Pretty good.Copy !req
213. Still, it's good that the Hayashi grocery hired a whiz like him.Copy !req
214. Brother has incredibly sharp wits.Copy !req
215. I think he could even be manager, if he wanted.Copy !req
216. What?Copy !req
217. Well, if he's doing the accounts, that means he may come to manage the Hayashi grocery someday.Copy !req
218. What?Copy !req
219. And that'll mean the Hayashi grocery store will be successful!Copy !req
220. That's exactly right.Copy !req
221. Don't you even know how to make a decent bag!Copy !req
222. Clean yourself off in the bath!Copy !req
223. Wow, looks like he's having a bit of trouble!Copy !req
224. I guessed brother Joe was doing something like that.Copy !req
225. What was that!Copy !req
226. You're the one who said Joe would succeed the store!Copy !req
227. I'm sorry, I was wrong.Copy !req
228. Well, Joe? What did you think of your first day at work?Copy !req
229. Come on, you'll get used to it.Copy !req
230. The manager, his wife, and Noriko are all good people.Copy !req
231. What is it?Copy !req
232. What's so funny?Copy !req
233. You've changed, Nishi.Copy !req
234. A year ago in the holding facility, you were a boss that would make crying children shut up.Copy !req
235. It's really hard to imagine.Copy !req
236. Come on, don't make fun of me, you dummy!Copy !req
237. I'm not made for the grocery...Copy !req
238. and I might not be able to become as good an employee as Nishi...Copy !req
239. but I'll keep at it.Copy !req
240. Today was the first day I did any honest work.Copy !req
241. I can't really put it into words...Copy !req
242. but this was great.Copy !req
243. Now, today's the day Uncle will get the commissioner to approve our gym!Copy !req
244. Let's put some food out for him.Copy !req
245. Yes.Copy !req
246. Uncle's really late...Copy !req
247. Don't worry. He'll come back smiling soon.Copy !req
248. That doesn't sound like Uncle...Copy !req
249. Is this Tange Danpei's house?Copy !req
250. You must come to the police station immediately!Copy !req
251. This man was not only drunk, but violent,Copy !req
252. and was arrested for fighting.Copy !req
253. Th-That can't be true!Copy !req
254. S-So, Uncle, what about getting the Tange Gym approved?Copy !req
255. Enough with the Tange Gym!Copy !req
256. And enough with the recognition!Copy !req
257. Pull yourself together, uncle!Copy !req
258. What happened!Copy !req
259. Shut up! I've had enough of your nonsense!Copy !req
260. Why don't you just get out?Copy !req
261. Hey, where do you think you are?Copy !req
262. Stop right this instant!Copy !req
263. Hey, stop it!Copy !req
264. Throw him in gaol until his head cools off.Copy !req
265. We'll investigate tomorrow.Copy !req
266. Come on! Move it!Copy !req
267. Wait! I'm not drunk anymore!Copy !req
268. Let me talk to them!Copy !req
269. I beg you! Let me talk to them!Copy !req
270. Please, let me talk to them!Copy !req
271. I beg you! Please!Copy !req
272. Joe...Copy !req
273. Nishi...Copy !req
274. I was a fool...Copy !req
275. I'm sorry...Copy !req
276. I led you on in my foolishness.Copy !req
277. There's nothing I can do to make up for it...Copy !req
278. Today...Copy !req
279. I happily entered the Japanese Boxing Association commissioner's office.Copy !req
280. Full of hope, like the fool I was.Copy !req
281. For a long time, they had brushed me off, saying they were busy.Copy !req
282. So I went on in, without even stopping by the reception.Copy !req
283. There was some kind of meeting at the time.Copy !req
284. I noticed the faces of many boxing club chairmen I used to know.Copy !req
285. Such a thing.Copy !req
286. Oh, if it isn't Tange!Copy !req
287. So you're alive!Copy !req
288. Of course I'm still alive!Copy !req
289. Long time no see, everyone!Copy !req
290. Wow, this is just like the good old' days!Copy !req
291. You know, I've found a really tough youngster, and I'm placing my bets on him.Copy !req
292. He's really promising, so I want him to take the test to become a pro.Copy !req
293. But I'll need to renew my chairman's license for that first.Copy !req
294. I was hoping you can set me up, Otaka, old buddy.Copy !req
295. I've seen plenty of your matches when you were a fighter,Copy !req
296. and I guess your risky fighting style really got to your head.Copy !req
297. What did you say? What are you saying?Copy !req
298. What are you trying to say?Copy !req
299. Have you forgotten?Copy !req
300. You were so protective of your fighter that you beat up one of my fighters mid-match!Copy !req
301. You'd be drunk no matter what hour of the day,Copy !req
302. and the ringside would always smell like alcohol!Copy !req
303. You would shake the ropes and insult the fighters!Copy !req
304. And you'd have shouting matches with hecklers!Copy !req
305. There was once a time when you beat up a referee who judged against one of your fighters!Copy !req
306. You're the cancer and the madman that the boxing world is finally rid of!Copy !req
307. You're banned from the boxing association!Copy !req
308. That's right!Copy !req
309. A musty old ghost like you, who's still stuck in the age of hooligans,Copy !req
310. will only cause problems if you come back!Copy !req
311. No, I... I...Copy !req
312. I'm not the Tange Danpei I once was!Copy !req
313. You have to understand! Please, you have to understand!Copy !req
314. Man, he really is getting noisy.Copy !req
315. When will he leave?Copy !req
316. He is persistent...Copy !req
317. I wonder what your novice is made of?Copy !req
318. There are boxers who are exceedingly better.Copy !req
319. Now, let's continue our meeting.Copy !req
320. All right! I won't ask for your help anymore!Copy !req
321. Where's the commissioner?Copy !req
322. I will show my sincerity to the commissioner and get my license!Copy !req
323. Tange...Copy !req
324. I'm the commissioner. But no matter what you say to me...Copy !req
325. The commissioner can't overrule the majority vote of the chairmen.Copy !req
326. I'm sorry, but I can't help you.Copy !req
327. Commissioner, I have an amazing fighter!Copy !req
328. A bright, new talent that might even change the Japanese boxing league.Copy !req
329. He's standing by my side, waiting to take on the tomorrow!Copy !req
330. Please! I beg you!Copy !req
331. Please!Copy !req
332. I'll repeat myself. The chairmen's opinion is the commissioner's will.Copy !req
333. Now everyone, let's begin our meeting regarding the world title.Copy !req
334. Please follow me to the meeting room.Copy !req
335. Wait!Copy !req
336. You!Copy !req
337. By the time I came to, I had downed some cheap liquor at a nearby bar.Copy !req
338. I then went back to the office and made trouble.Copy !req
339. I'm sorry!Copy !req
340. I'm sorry!Copy !req
341. So you mean that our tomorrows...Copy !req
342. will never come?Copy !req
343. Rikiishi...Copy !req
344. I finally understand why Rikiishi sent us that funeral wreath...Copy !req
345. S-Stop it, Joe! What's so funny?Copy !req
346. Stop laughing like that! It's creeping me out!Copy !req
347. Joe's road to becoming a pro is getting steeper.Copy !req
348. Now, for Joe, who tries to recover the tomorrow he lost when Tange Gym was denied its license,Copy !req
349. which way is tomorrow!Copy !req
