1. Hello, is this the telegraph office?Copy !req
2. I'd like to send an express message to Tokyo.Copy !req
3. The address is, uh...Copy !req
4. Tokyo City, Bunkyo Ward, Koraku 1-3,Copy !req
5. Korakuen Hall, Waiting Room, Yabuki Joe and Mr. Nishi Kanichi.Copy !req
6. And as for the telegram...Copy !req
7. H-Hold on a second.Copy !req
8. Hey, which one do I send?Copy !req
9. Well, you see...Copy !req
10. We talked it over with everyone last night...Copy !req
11. but we couldn't make a decision, so... Can I grab that?Copy !req
12. Hey, Mr. Telegram Man.Copy !req
13. The man we're sending the telegram to has vowed to invade...Copy !req
14. I mean, break into a new world, where the sun shines, so...Copy !req
15. Okay, let me just get on with it.Copy !req
16. So should we say "beat it"... or "good job"?Copy !req
17. Okay, let's go with the one that sounds friendlier! Make the telegram say "good job"!Copy !req
18. Is Yabuki the contender here?Copy !req
19. You have a telegram! A telegram!Copy !req
20. For me?Copy !req
21. Hup!Copy !req
22. Who's it from?Copy !req
23. It says...Copy !req
24. "We wish you the best of fortune in your new season of life - Nogiku Island Juvenile Prison."Copy !req
25. But that's a wedding greeting!Copy !req
26. Joe...Copy !req
27. Come to think of it, Skeleton Boy is still there!Copy !req
28. I can't think of anyone but him who would come up with something this wacky.Copy !req
29. Man, he must have been out of his gourd.Copy !req
30. He's the son of a bath house owner, and he was thrown into juvenile detention for peeping on all the women.Copy !req
31. Joe!Copy !req
32. You should probably stop chattering now.Copy !req
33. Nishi's match is coming up. Put his gloves on for him.Copy !req
34. Okay, then! Let's see, the gloves...Copy !req
35. Hey, Nishi!Copy !req
36. Where'd you put the bag with your gloves?Copy !req
37. Listen, Nishi.Copy !req
38. Four rounds will fly by sooner than you think.Copy !req
39. So instead of analysing your opponent's moves,Copy !req
40. you should start the match at your own pace.Copy !req
41. Yes.Copy !req
42. This may be asking too much, considering it's your first match...Copy !req
43. If you stiffen up, you'll lose.Copy !req
44. Relax, as if you're practising.Copy !req
45. Right.Copy !req
46. Understood.Copy !req
47. Hey, Nishi!Copy !req
48. How was that?Copy !req
49. Now you've stopped trembling.Copy !req
50. I-It stopped!Copy !req
51. Okay, that's good!Copy !req
52. Now, let's put our hands together,Copy !req
53. and pray for Mammoth Nishi's victory!Copy !req
54. Ready...Copy !req
55. Hey, you! The noisy one!Copy !req
56. Let me remind you that this isn't your private waiting room.Copy !req
57. Could you please stop all that yelling and humming in this crowded space?Copy !req
58. You need etiquette in this shared place!Copy !req
59. All the fighters are trying to calm down before their matches!Copy !req
60. Don't you think dead silence would make it harder to calm down?Copy !req
61. What?Copy !req
62. The way you looked earlier...Copy !req
63. you looked as pathetic as prisoners the day before their executions!Copy !req
64. What was that, you!Copy !req
65. Hey, stop it, Joe!Copy !req
66. I apologize for the trouble.Copy !req
67. He's agitated because today's his first match.Copy !req
68. Who did you say is agitated?Copy !req
69. Shut up, you!Copy !req
70. He's scary!Copy !req
71. Sorry for being so loud...Copy !req
72. Mammoth Nishi, your match is up.Copy !req
73. Get to the ring.Copy !req
74. He'll be there shortly.Copy !req
75. Well then, Joe, I'll be going as Nishi's second,Copy !req
76. so you'd better behave.Copy !req
77. Come on, Nishi. Let's go.Copy !req
78. Hang on...Copy !req
79. That's just not fair!Copy !req
80. This is the debut match of my friend who trained with me!Copy !req
81. Let me be his second, okay, uncle?Copy !req
82. Let me be his second, okay, uncle?Copy !req
83. Joe!Copy !req
84. You can't be a second with your temperament.Copy !req
85. If you get too excited on the ringside, you'll confuse Nishi.Copy !req
86. I-I'll be fine, Joe...Copy !req
87. Wh-What do you mean, you'll be...Copy !req
88. Now, stay inside, rest, and behave!Copy !req
89. Well, do your best out there!Copy !req
90. Make sure you live up to the name of Mammoth Nishi!Copy !req
91. Leave this to me!Copy !req
92. I'll score the first victory for Tange Gym,Copy !req
93. and give you good luck for your debut match!Copy !req
94. Hurry, hurry!Copy !req
95. The first victory...Copy !req
96. You can do it, Nishi!Copy !req
97. So that one-eyed man's their only second...Copy !req
98. What a surprise. Will he take care of both of them on his own?Copy !req
99. I've never heard of a pro only having one second during a match!Copy !req
100. Hey, you! Baldy masseur!Copy !req
101. Baldy masseur?Copy !req
102. Let me just remind you that this isn't your private waiting room.Copy !req
103. So would you please stop gossiping?Copy !req
104. K-Kid...Copy !req
105. Come on, it's nothing to get mad over!Copy !req
106. I'm just repeating what you told me.Copy !req
107. I'm trying to calm down before my match.Copy !req
108. Despicable brat!Copy !req
109. This is my first match as a pro...Copy !req
110. Three cheers for Yabuki Joe!Copy !req
111. Joe! Congratulations on becoming a pro!Copy !req
112. Do your best!Copy !req
113. Go for it, Joe!Copy !req
114. Everyone will be watching me.Copy !req
115. I must do my best.Copy !req
116. What the...Copy !req
117. D-Did you lose, Nishi?Copy !req
118. My eyelid got cut, and my opponent kept aiming for my wound,Copy !req
119. and I lost by TKO.Copy !req
120. Stop talking and lay down!Copy !req
121. Hey, Joe!Copy !req
122. Don't just stand there! Get your gloves on!Copy !req
123. You're up next!Copy !req
124. Y-Yes...Copy !req
125. Joe...Copy !req
126. Yes?Copy !req
127. Be careful. A pro match is tougher than I'd expected.Copy !req
128. It's really terrifying...Copy !req
129. Don't get gloomy on me, Nishi.Copy !req
130. You could've won if you hadn't gotten injured.Copy !req
131. You heard the man, Nishi.Copy !req

148. Thank you so much for walking this far with me.Copy !req
149. And...Copy !req
150. Congratulations on your debut.Copy !req
151. Why must you old men be so square and formal at times like this, Tange?Copy !req
152. T-Tange!Copy !req
153. T-Tange!Copy !req
154. Now, let's go, uncle.Copy !req

171. We all came to see you!Copy !req
172. Show us a real fight!Copy !req
173. Win!Copy !req
174. Do your best!Copy !req
175. Brother really is amazing...Copy !req
176. I never thought he'd be this popular...Copy !req
177. Amazing!Copy !req
178. Now this is a surprise!Copy !req
179. The crowd is wild as if this were a world title match!Copy !req
180. I don't think the audience has ever reacted to a debut match in such a manner before!Copy !req
181. Yabuki the contender and Coach Tange are standing dumbfounded in the corner!Copy !req
182. Joe!Copy !req
183. H-Hey!Copy !req
184. Y-Yes...Copy !req
185. S-Say something to them!Copy !req
186. Everyone came to see you!Copy !req
187. Me?Copy !req

192. Don't just stand there, you idiot!Copy !req
193. Say something!Copy !req
194. Go, go!Copy !req
195. Joe!Copy !req

202. All this cheering is making me feel happy!Copy !req
203. All right!Copy !req
204. Yahoo!Copy !req
205. Yay!Copy !req
206. Hey, Joe! That's enough!Copy !req
207. Yabuki Joe is blowing kisses to his cheering fans in the middle of the ring!Copy !req
208. Still, he seems pretty popular?Copy !req
209. Yes. The media really made a fuss about him and puffed him up.Copy !req
210. But I bet that Murase with his longer career will punch out that puffed-up head.Copy !req
211. He's acting like a star.Copy !req
212. I still can't tell if he's just acting as a star, or if he really is a star.Copy !req
213. That son of a mongrel is getting carried away!Copy !req
214. No, Wolf! Don't get up!Copy !req
215. But that attitude of his makes me want to throw up!Copy !req
216. Don't be hasty, Wolf. Save your anger.Copy !req
217. You won't be sitting and twiddling your thumbs forever.Copy !req
218. Come on!Copy !req
219. Moron! Don't get cocky, you attention seeker!Copy !req
220. Save the flashy act for after you've beaten Murase!Copy !req
221. What are you talking about?Copy !req
222. I've more or less won!Copy !req
223. What?Copy !req
224. That Murase's no big deal, after all.Copy !req
225. Stop bragging!Copy !req
226. Unlike you, who went straight to the B-class test,Copy !req
227. he's a veteran that fought through plenty of four-round matches!Copy !req
228. Well, if he fought so many four-round matches...Copy !req
229. and still got his nose so deformed...Copy !req
230. he must suck at defence.Copy !req
231. What a man.Copy !req
232. He doesn't know anything about the theory of boxing...Copy !req
233. but what he just said is correct.Copy !req
234. He really is proving himself to be a natural boxer.Copy !req
235. Uncle, at any rate I will do it.Copy !req
236. Uncle, at any rate I will do it.Copy !req
237. I'll fight a good match.Copy !req
238. Because we have some familiar faces in the crowd.Copy !req
239. I don't want to give him a bad fight.Copy !req
240. Joe...Copy !req
241. It's not just Rikiishi.Copy !req
242. All the men from skid row are here, too.Copy !req
243. I know, I know.Copy !req
244. Hooray! Hooray! Yabuki!Copy !req
245. Hooray! Hooray! Yabuki!Copy !req
246. Well, uncle...Copy !req
247. I'm off.Copy !req
248. A rush! A rush!Copy !req
249. Murase's rushing him!Copy !req
250. He's started a savage rush just as the bell rung!Copy !req
251. Yabuki can't do a thing!Copy !req
252. He's on the defensive!Copy !req
253. I'll show you...Copy !req
254. which one of us...Copy !req
255. has a bad defence!Copy !req
256. Oh? You heard me?Copy !req
257. Shut up!Copy !req
258. You're about to learn that your stupid street boxing...Copy !req
259. won't get you anywhere in the world of pros!Copy !req
260. And Murase hit him with a powerful right straight! And a left! Right!Copy !req
261. And he's hit him again! Murase's got his chance!Copy !req
262. Joe, go around him!Copy !req
263. Idiot, go around him, Joe!Copy !req
264. Yabuki! Do your best!Copy !req
265. Joe! Hang in there!Copy !req
266. brother Joe!Copy !req
267. Yabuki, what...Copy !req
268. This is no time to goof off!Copy !req
269. Come on, it was only a Joe-ke.Copy !req
270. Hey!Copy !req
271. Ouch!Copy !req
272. Yabuki's on the ropes! Yabuki's on the ropes!Copy !req
273. Murase's got a chance to knock him out!Copy !req
274. I think I know now.Copy !req
275. In the end, he was just acting like a star.Copy !req
276. Miss...Copy !req
277. There were plenty of times like this when he fought me.Copy !req
278. There's no need to worry about him.Copy !req
279. Worry? Do you think I am worried?Copy !req
280. Well, just watch.Copy !req
281. Stop messing with me!Copy !req
282. Joe, you idiot!Copy !req
283. Guard! Guard!Copy !req
284. Yabuki's not guarding!Copy !req
285. His arms are hanging from his sides!Copy !req
286. Murase's punches are connecting one after another!Copy !req
287. Is this a knockdown for Yabuki?Copy !req
288. This is ridiculous!Copy !req
289. How on earth did he pass the B-class exam?Copy !req
290. True, but they say he KO'd the national champion, Inagaki, from that no guard position in that test!Copy !req
291. Th-There it is!Copy !req
292. Th-The Cross Counter!Copy !req
293. Go to your neutral corner.Copy !req
294. 1!Copy !req
295. 2!Copy !req
296. 3!Copy !req
297. How was that, uncle? Were you watching?Copy !req
298. 4!Copy !req
299. I brought him down with just one punch.Copy !req
300. 5!Copy !req
301. 6!Copy !req
302. Joe!Copy !req
303. 7!Copy !req
304. 8!Copy !req
305. 9!Copy !req
306. 10!Copy !req
307. Bell!Copy !req
308. Way to go!Copy !req
309. World champion!Copy !req
310. You're so cool!Copy !req
311. brother Joe!Copy !req
312. brother Joe!Copy !req
313. That was cool!Copy !req
314. That was the move he used when he provoked me!Copy !req
315. That Cross Counter, Coach!Copy !req
316. Now you've taken another step closer to me...Copy !req
317. Towards Rikiishi Toru...Copy !req
318. Finally, Joe has done it!Copy !req
319. Joe, you've lived up to everyone's expectations!Copy !req
320. The children, Nori, and everyone else are celebrating!Copy !req
321. Joe! Let the impression of this victory sink deeply into you!Copy !req
322. Now, for Joe, who has just won his first victory,Copy !req
323. which way is tomorrow?Copy !req
