2. You are pumped up today, Wolf.Copy !req
3. Coach Otaka!Copy !req
4. Good morning!Copy !req
5. Wolf, why are you so afraid?Copy !req
6. If that's true, you won't get any better no matter how much you train.Copy !req
7. You've been off your game recently.Copy !req
8. C-Coach, I can't help it.Copy !req
9. I can't get the trapping pit of the Cross Counter out of my head!Copy !req
10. Ah...Copy !req
11. That Yabuki won't last much longer.Copy !req
12. Yabuki's Cross Counter is old news.Copy !req
13. I haven't been part of the Boxing Association for thirty years for nothing!Copy !req
14. I've thought up a strategy to defeat him!Copy !req
15. C-Coach, you say you know a way to defeat the Cross Counter?Copy !req
16. Exactly. And I'm about to teach it to you.Copy !req
17. How about it, Wolf? Do you see?Copy !req
18. Yes. At least, I understand it in theory.Copy !req
19. As long as you have the theory down, a technical mind like yours should be able to pull it off.Copy !req
20. R-Right.Copy !req
21. Great. Now it's only a matter of time...Copy !req
22. before Yabuki lies at your feet in a pool of his own blood.Copy !req
23. Too bad for him.Copy !req
24. I'll do it, Coach! I'll do it!Copy !req
25. Uncle...Copy !req
26. What is it?Copy !req
27. Has our next match been decided yet?Copy !req
28. Yes.Copy !req
29. It's on the third of next month.Copy !req
30. Who are our opponents?Copy !req
31. Nishi, you have Gong Yoshimura,Copy !req
32. and Joe, you're up against Noguchi Koichi.Copy !req
33. Noguchi? Who's after him?Copy !req
34. Takano Yoichi from Oboshi Gym on the 31st.Copy !req
35. Takano? And after him?Copy !req
36. You're scheduled to take on Suzuki Takekatsu of Yamada Boxing Club.Copy !req
37. And after him?Copy !req
38. After that, it's...Copy !req
39. Hey, uncle...Copy !req
40. How long will you make me fight small fry?Copy !req
41. Who are you calling small fry?Copy !req
42. They're all six-rounders, just like you!Copy !req
43. But isn't Wolf a six-rounder, too?Copy !req
44. Why don't you give me someone like him to fight?Copy !req
45. If you keep fighting well and keep up your good record,Copy !req
46. I'll let you fight him eventually.Copy !req
47. My good record?Copy !req
48. You must be joking. He's not that big a deal.Copy !req
49. "Yabuki"? You mean, I'm in the paper?Copy !req
50. Show me, Nishi!Copy !req
51. Don't be so stingy!Copy !req
52. Let's see here...Copy !req
53. Yabuki's Cross...Copy !req
54. Wh-What!Copy !req
55. Uncle!Copy !req
56. Have a look at this article!Copy !req
57. Yabuki's Cross Counter: "Nothing to Fear."Copy !req
58. I see...Copy !req
59. No point losing your temper over it.Copy !req
60. What's the matter with it, Joe?Copy !req
61. What's the matter with it!Copy !req
62. He's so full of himself!Copy !req
63. You expect me to let him say whatever he wants?Copy !req
64. Well, uncle?Copy !req
65. Calm down, Joe!Copy !req
66. I've heard Wolf and Coach Otaka's claims.Copy !req
67. This is proof that they're panicking about your popularity.Copy !req
68. If you just ignore them, they'll send us a formal challenge eventually.Copy !req
69. Until then, just continue your matches at your own pace. Do you hear me?Copy !req
70. does he mean by "my own pace"?Copy !req
71. It's a letter.Copy !req
72. Uncle, it's from Coach Otaka from Asia Gym!Copy !req
73. Otaka?Copy !req
74. Otaka?Copy !req
75. Wh-What's it say, uncle?Copy !req
76. These are...Copy !req
77. Tickets to Wolf's match!Copy !req
78. Wh-What did you say?Copy !req
79. Son of a mongrel thinks he's so great...Copy !req
80. What a show-off!Copy !req
81. This match wasn't even worth watching!Copy !req
82. No, Coach Otaka went out of his way to invite us.Copy !req
83. There must be something he's trying to tell us.Copy !req
84. What would he say to us?Copy !req
85. I'm going home.Copy !req
86. Wait.Copy !req
87. Look. Here he comes.Copy !req
88. I'm glad you could make it, Coach Tange, Yabuki Joe.Copy !req
89. Why are all these reporters here?Copy !req
90. You'll see soon enough, Yabuki.Copy !req
91. Now, gentlemen, are you ready for your scoop?Copy !req
92. Scoop?Copy !req
93. What's the meaning of this, Otaka?Copy !req
94. You two are always being tracked by sports reporters these days.Copy !req
95. They shouldn't surprise you anymore.Copy !req
96. Well, for what it's worth, I thank you for inviting us.Copy !req
97. And from what we saw of Wolf's match, he's an excellent technical boxer.Copy !req
98. I can hardly believe he's still only a six-rounder.Copy !req
99. It's only a matter of time till he becomes an eight-rounder.Copy !req
100. No, I have no intention of training Wolf to be a boxer...Copy !req
101. who only thinks one step ahead.Copy !req
102. The world is his oyster! He's aiming at the World Championships!Copy !req
103. I see.Copy !req
104. That's admirable.Copy !req
105. By the way, Coach Tange...Copy !req
106. What do you say to a match between Wolf and Yabuki?Copy !req
107. Here it comes.Copy !req
108. Well, Yabuki?Copy !req
109. Now that you're winning over the public with your respectable record,Copy !req
110. you're ready!Copy !req
111. Ready? I've always been...Copy !req
112. Joe!Copy !req
113. Don't go saying things you don't have to!Copy !req
114. So, Tange...Copy !req
115. Here's my suggestion...Copy !req
116. Suggestion?Copy !req
117. Yes.Copy !req
118. Let's just say whoever wins this match is promoted to the eight-round league.Copy !req
119. How's that sound?Copy !req
120. Eight-round league?Copy !req
121. Hey, this is getting juicy!Copy !req
122. Yes. The winner becomes an eight-rounder, and the loser stays a six-rounder.Copy !req
123. The fans will love this!Copy !req
124. Do it, Yabuki!Copy !req
125. Accept, Yabuki!Copy !req
126. You'd better accept the offer!Copy !req
127. Hey, uncle! Why aren't you answering?Copy !req
128. Uncle! Hey!Copy !req
129. You're not... You'll not refuse, will you?Copy !req
130. Uncle!Copy !req
131. Hey! Uncle!Copy !req
132. Calm down, Joe!Copy !req
133. Fine, whatever!Copy !req
134. If that's the case, I'll respond for him!Copy !req
135. It's on!Copy !req
136. It's definitely on!Copy !req
137. I, Yabuki Joe, declare that it's on!Copy !req
138. It's on, it's so on!Copy !req
139. Listen up! It's on!Copy !req
140. Uncle, isn't tonight a great night?Copy !req
141. And tonight, the dice of destiny have been cast!Copy !req
142. And the poor, wild Wolf's corpse shall be strung up in the ring.Copy !req
143. Will you stop bragging?Copy !req
144. What?Copy !req
145. If you let it go to your head, it'll come back to bite you.Copy !req
146. Hey, uncle, tell me!Copy !req
147. Why do you look so down?Copy !req
148. Shouldn't you be happy for me to fight a better opponent?Copy !req
149. At least congratulate me or something!Copy !req
150. Oh, I get it!Copy !req
151. You're upset that I accepted their challenge without your permission!Copy !req
152. Uncle, you're so easy to read.Copy !req
153. I didn't have a choice!Copy !req
154. They were challenging me. If I hadn't answered, I couldn't call myself a man!Copy !req
155. Well, Nishi's home alone.Copy !req
156. I'll head off to the gym on my own.Copy !req
157. Well, see you!Copy !req
158. Grandfather.Copy !req
159. Wolf and Yabuki are finally facing each other.Copy !req
160. Yes. Finally.Copy !req
161. Yabuki may view everything he's done up till now as a warm-up.Copy !req
162. But things shall change in his bout with Wolf.Copy !req
163. This is where Yabuki's mettle as a pro boxer shall be tested to the fullest.Copy !req
164. I wonder if he's seen this paper yet.Copy !req
165. Yes, I wonder.Copy !req
166. Yabuki Joe, be careful.Copy !req
167. Wolf challenged you with an air of confidence about him.Copy !req
168. That means he must have figured out how to beat you.Copy !req
169. Well, I don't think you'll lose,]Copy !req
170. but let's just hope you can still stand in front of me in the ring after being bitten by Wolf's fangs.Copy !req
171. After Wolf, it'll be me, Joe.Copy !req
172. Me, Rikiishi Toru.Copy !req
173. But man, they're really hyping Joe's match!Copy !req
174. The more this match is publicised,Copy !req
175. the more Joe shall be humiliated in print when he loses.Copy !req
176. U-Uncle!Copy !req
177. Why are you so pessimistic about his chances? You're his coach!Copy !req
178. What a waste!Copy !req
179. U-Uncle, what's the matter?Copy !req
180. I see. You're nervous.Copy !req
181. Well, I don't blame you.Copy !req
182. This is the first big match for Tange Gym.Copy !req
183. But don't you worry, uncle.Copy !req
184. Just look at Joe!Copy !req
185. He's all fired-up!Copy !req
186. It'll be fine!Copy !req
187. He can do this!Copy !req
188. Asia Boxing GymCopy !req
189. Everyone! Stop your training and listen!Copy !req
190. Wolf and Yabuki are scheduled to fight three Saturdays from now!Copy !req
191. All of you here should know of Wolf's, or rather Asia Gym's, grudge with Joe.Copy !req
192. Yes.Copy !req
193. Yes.Copy !req
194. In other words,Copy !req
195. it's not just Wolf we're talking about,Copy !req
196. the honour of this gym is on the line!Copy !req
197. This means that Wolf is fighting for the pride of Asia Gym!Copy !req
198. And so...Copy !req
199. Until Wolf's match is over, all boxers of Asia Gym...Copy !req
200. will support him to the fullest!Copy !req
201. He is hustling up there.Copy !req
202. His head's filled with thoughts of the fight, now that the match date has been set.Copy !req
203. So, how are you feeling?Copy !req
204. Can't you tell?Copy !req
205. I've never felt better!Copy !req
206. What a cool customer! I'm impressed!Copy !req
207. I'm more impressed that you all came,Copy !req
208. instead of following Wolf around, who we all know shall lose.Copy !req
209. Well, you see, about that...Copy !req
210. Asia Gym's not letting any reporters in.Copy !req
211. Apparently, they're doing some kind of secret training.Copy !req
212. "Secret training"?Copy !req
213. U-Uncle, what's the matter?Copy !req
214. No, it's nothing.Copy !req
215. Sorry, but I don't have any more tea to offer you.Copy !req
216. By the way, Yabuki, about Wolf...Copy !req
217. W-Wait!Copy !req
218. Stop! I beg you, don't interfere with his training any further!Copy !req
219. I'll do the interview in his place!Copy !req
220. So, let me put this out there:Copy !req
221. Does Joe have a chance against Wolf Kanagushi?Copy !req
222. "A chance"?Copy !req
223. Boxing's a sport where the world champion can get beaten by an unranked fighter.Copy !req
224. We won't know until he tries.Copy !req
225. Oh my, that's not an honest answer at all.Copy !req
226. "Honest"?Copy !req
227. Anyone who talks about chances before a bout...Copy !req
228. is either incredibly arrogant or an idiot who knows nothing about boxing!Copy !req
229. Then, why don't we just say this:Copy !req
230. I may not have a chance, but I'll not lose!Copy !req
231. If I'm knocked down three times, I'll knock him down five!Copy !req
232. And the last man standing will be Yabuki Joe!Copy !req
233. Shut up! Be quiet and get on with your training!Copy !req
234. F-Fine, I get it!Copy !req
235. Don't get so mad, uncle!Copy !req
236. He has a really short fuse.Copy !req
237. Why don't we call it a day?Copy !req
238. Well, thank you for your time!Copy !req
239. Sorry to disturb you!Copy !req
240. Uncle, why are you so irritable?Copy !req
241. My Cross Counter will smash that Wolf to smithereens!Copy !req
242. The Cross Counter...Copy !req
243. Did you say something, uncle?Copy !req
244. Joe, do you remember how Wolf's eyes flashed last night?Copy !req
245. Wolf's eyes?Copy !req
246. When Wolf came to see your debut match,Copy !req
247. his eyes shuddered when he saw your Cross Counter.Copy !req
248. They were the fear-filled eyes of a loser.Copy !req
249. But...Copy !req
250. when he appeared before us last night,Copy !req
251. Wolf's eyes were burning like a bright blue flame.Copy !req
252. Can you guess why?Copy !req
253. Come to think of it,Copy !req
254. he did look strangely calm!Copy !req
255. And today, he's doing some secret training.Copy !req
256. Listen, Joe.Copy !req
257. Do not underestimate Wolf.Copy !req
258. He's no longer a wild dog...Copy !req
259. He may be a fully-fledged wolf with mighty fangs for all we know!Copy !req
260. Hey! I have some news!Copy !req
261. This report from Ishida, the boxing commentator, just landed on my desk!Copy !req
262. According to him,Copy !req
263. Wolf's secret training likely revolves around a new strategy to counter Yabuki's Cross Counter!Copy !req
264. What? Counter the Cross Counter?Copy !req
265. Yes!Copy !req
266. How's that even possible?Copy !req
267. You dunce. If we knew that, it'd hardly be secret training!Copy !req
268. C-Counter the Cross Counter?Copy !req
269. The Cross Counter...Copy !req
270. I knew it.Copy !req
271. That's the problem.Copy !req
272. The Cross Counter...Copy !req
273. That's the problem!Copy !req
274. The showdown between Wolf and Joe draws near.Copy !req
275. The children sneak into Asia Gym to discover the meaning behind Wolf's secret training,Copy !req
276. but Wolf sends them packing, covered in bruises.Copy !req
277. Joe sheds tears at the sorry sight of them.Copy !req
278. Now, for Joe, sweating through his own furious training,Copy !req
279. which way is tomorrow!Copy !req
