27. Rikiishi Toru's First Bantamweight Transfer Match!Copy !req
28. Episode 44Copy !req
29. Rikiishi Toru's Hard Fight!Copy !req
30. Rikiishi, it's time.Copy !req
31. Rikiishi, you can't possibly fight in your condition!Copy !req
32. I'll be fine, Miss.Copy !req
33. Today's match is no more than a try-out for my fight with Yabuki.Copy !req
34. It shouldn't be a problem.Copy !req
35. I just don't get it.Copy !req
36. Hey, uncle, why do you think they got this Filipino to fightCopy !req
37. in Rikiishi's first match as a bantamweight?Copy !req
38. It doesn't make any sense.Copy !req
39. Because he has no other opponents.Copy !req
40. Opponents?Copy !req
41. Rikiishi's feared for his outstandingly powerful punches, even for the featherweight division.Copy !req
42. Now that he's dropped one weight class to bantamweight,Copy !req
43. I can't blame all the other boxers for keeping their distance.Copy !req
44. I get it.Copy !req
45. So they had no choice but to bring in a foreignerCopy !req
46. who doesn't know how powerful Rikiishi is.Copy !req
47. This fight'll be a piece of cake for Rikiishi.Copy !req
48. Hey, take a look at that Filipino!Copy !req
49. He's all covered with scars!Copy !req
50. How can he be so calm?Copy !req
51. Leo is a tough fighter.Copy !req
52. He may currently be just eighth in his division,Copy !req
53. but as those scars show, he's a veteran with a ten-year career.Copy !req
54. He may not be as fast as he used to,Copy !req
55. but the killer punch he was known for in his glory days is still going strong.Copy !req
56. Oh. So this will be a slug-fest.Copy !req
57. Sounds like fun.Copy !req
58. Here comes Rikiishi!Copy !req
59. Showing off by coming in fashionably late, is he?Copy !req
60. We've been waiting for you, lady-killer! Rikiishi!Copy !req
61. Send him packing, Rikiishi!Copy !req
62. You're so cool!Copy !req
63. Rikiishi! We're all supporting your bantamweight transfer!Copy !req
64. Because then we'll get to see you fight Joe the Brawler!Copy !req
65. Yes!Copy !req
66. That's right!Copy !req
67. Rikiishi, the fans all get the idea.Copy !req
68. Yohko.Copy !req
69. In the red corner, in eighth place in the Filipino Bantamweight Division,Copy !req
70. weighing in at 117-and-a-half pounds, Pancho Leo!Copy !req
71. In the blue corner, the Japanese bantamweight associated with Shiraki Gym,Copy !req
72. weighing in at 118 pounds, Rikiishi Toru!Copy !req
73. 118 pounds. Impressive.Copy !req
74. He made it just under the bantamweight limit.Copy !req
75. Hey, Rikiishi! I'll be watching!Copy !req
76. You better stick with it!Copy !req
77. Rikiishi definitely feels like he's lost weight...Copy !req
78. They say the face is the last part of the body where weight is lost.Copy !req
79. And with his face that hollowed...Copy !req
80. Seconds out!Copy !req
81. N-Now, this is no joke!Copy !req
82. Can weight loss this drastic even be considered humane?Copy !req
83. Certainly not, if the gym's coaches and manager forced it upon him.Copy !req
84. But I've heard that in Rikiishi's case, this was of his own volition.Copy !req
85. You mean so he could settle his grudge match with Yabuki Joe?Copy !req
86. That's right.Copy !req
87. But that said, he should naturally be lacking in staminaCopy !req
88. with such a gaunt frame.Copy !req
89. So the problem is whether or not he can stand up against the veteran Leo's blows.Copy !req
90. This was his only choice.Copy !req
91. Because he made the irrational choice to go down to bantamweight with that frame and physique,Copy !req
92. this was his only choice.Copy !req
93. R-Rikiishi...Copy !req
94. Leo came out swinging as soon as the bell rang!Copy !req
95. Rikiishi's backing up to observe Leo's...Copy !req
96. Rikiishi...Copy !req
97. What's wrong with you, Rikiishi?Copy !req
98. Why are you just standing there?Copy !req
99. Punch! Punch back!Copy !req
100. Leo's now switched to body blows!Copy !req
101. Rikiishi's up against the ropes, simply defending!Copy !req
102. Leo's not letting up for a second!Copy !req
103. It's a right! Now a left! That was intense!Copy !req
104. Rikiishi's in trouble here!Copy !req
105. Stop! That's the bell!Copy !req
106. That's the bell, that's the bell!Copy !req
107. Didn't you hear it, you idiot?Copy !req
108. That's the bell!Copy !req
109. What's wrong with him?Copy !req
110. Is that really Rikiishi?Copy !req
111. Has he lost too much weight for his own good?Copy !req
112. Even considering the toll Rikiishi's diet has taken on him, this is just hard to watch!Copy !req
113. In that first round, Rikiishi only managed to throw two uppercuts!Copy !req
114. And they didn't even scratch Leo!Copy !req
115. But compared to that, weren't Leo's attacks amazing?Copy !req
116. Yes. From jabs to straights to hooks, he had the variety you'd expect from a veteran!Copy !req
117. Grandfather!Copy !req
118. Rikiishi can barely even stand, much less fight!Copy !req
119. Even an amateur can tell that continuing the fight is too dangerous!Copy !req
120. I'll have the second throw in the towel!Copy !req
121. If you admit you're an amateur, then shut up and watch!Copy !req
122. Rikiishi's a professional.Copy !req
123. He knows that he can barely stand,Copy !req
124. but he'd rather die than call the match.Copy !req
125. We just let him go as far as he can.Copy !req
126. He did it! He got an uppercut in!Copy !req
127. Get to a neutral corner!Copy !req
128. 1!Copy !req
129. 2!Copy !req
130. 3!Copy !req
131. 4!Copy !req
132. 5!Copy !req
133. C-Count no thank you!Copy !req
134. That was lucky punch!Copy !req
135. I continue match!Copy !req
136. Fight!Copy !req
137. Rikiishi! Keep it up!Copy !req
138. Knock out that scarred old man!Copy !req
139. This was his only choice.Copy !req
140. Because he made the irrational choice to go down to bantamweight with that frame and physique,Copy !req
141. this was his only choice.Copy !req
142. Keep going, Rikiishi.Copy !req
143. It may be irrational, it may be immature,Copy !req
144. but this is our world.Copy !req
145. This would be the inevitable result if we were ever to cross gloves.Copy !req
146. Rikiishi, hang in there!Copy !req
147. Hang in there!Copy !req
148. R-Rikiishi!Copy !req
149. You're not a sandbag!Copy !req
150. Why are you letting him hit you?Copy !req
151. Do something! Hit back!Copy !req
152. Rikiishi!Copy !req
153. Rikiishi's throwing tremendous uppercuts with all his strength!Copy !req
154. Leo can't fight back!Copy !req
155. Oh! Leo's right straight has connected with Rikiishi's face!Copy !req
156. Now a left! And another right!Copy !req
157. The uppercut is the greatest of all knockout punches,Copy !req
158. but because of the bigger swing, it's easier for the opponent to counter.Copy !req
159. But...Copy !req
160. If he's still throwing them, even knowing that,Copy !req
161. there must be a reason behind it!Copy !req
162. That son of a mongrel is still laughing!Copy !req
163. Go, Rikiishi!Copy !req
164. Pound that grin off his face!Copy !req
165. Hey, Joe!Copy !req
166. Go, go, go, go, go!Copy !req
167. Ah!Copy !req
168. Rikiishi, what are you, stupid?Copy !req
169. Leo's a veteran, yet you keep telegraphing those huge uppercuts like an idiot!Copy !req
170. You don't even have the stamina thanks to your weight loss!Copy !req
171. I-I don't blame his rival Yabuki Joe for being angry.Copy !req
172. After all, Rikiishi's done nothing in the first and second roundsCopy !req
173. but throw uppercut after uppercut.Copy !req
174. He probably doesn't realize that Leo could see those uppercuts from a mile away.Copy !req
175. In fact, in cases of extreme stamina loss, the ability to think is dulled.Copy !req
176. It really is awful.Copy !req
177. Joe, don't make such a fuss.Copy !req
178. Then what am I supposed to do?Copy !req
179. How could Rikiishi fight such an unsightly fight?Copy !req
180. How?Copy !req
181. It's unsettling precisely because it's unsightly.Copy !req
182. What's that supposed to mean?Copy !req
183. Well, let's just watch the match.Copy !req
184. Once again, Rikiishi's throwing uppercuts and missing!Copy !req
185. And Leo skilfully dodges those uppercuts!Copy !req
186. And he's going for Rikiishi's flank!Copy !req
187. You did it! Way to go, Rikiishi!Copy !req
188. He hit him!Copy !req
189. He hit him with another uppercut!Copy !req
190. That's it, Rikiishi! Don't let up!Copy !req
191. Finish him off as soon as he gets up!Copy !req
192. Get to a neutral corner!Copy !req
193. 1!Copy !req
194. 2!Copy !req
195. 3!Copy !req
196. 4!Copy !req
197. 5!Copy !req
198. 6!Copy !req
199. 7!Copy !req
200. 8!Copy !req
201. Fight!Copy !req
202. Now, Rikiishi! Get him!Copy !req
203. Go, go, go!Copy !req
204. Rikiishi! Finish him off with your special triple-blow!Copy !req
205. Go!Copy !req
206. Uppercuts again...Copy !req
207. Why are you just throwing uppercuts like a one-trick pony?Copy !req
208. Have you forgotten all the other punches?Copy !req
209. Rikiishi's in trouble again!Copy !req
210. He'd be down if it weren't for the ropes!Copy !req
211. Ah, this isn't good!Copy !req
212. He's in a condition where he can't trust his stamina,Copy !req
213. but he's just wasting it by throwing nothing but uppercuts!Copy !req
214. What's the matter with you?Copy !req
215. Have you lost so much weight that you can't even throw a straight punch?Copy !req
216. You can't throw any more uppercuts, Rikiishi!Copy !req
217. He's used to them!Copy !req
218. Now Rikiishi's throwing jabs!Copy !req
219. This is the first time this entire fight!Copy !req
220. J-Jab...Copy !req
221. Doctor!Copy !req
222. He settled it so quickly.Copy !req
223. I see. I get it now!Copy !req
224. He got his opponent's eyes used to uppercuts,Copy !req
225. then suddenly started attacking head-on!Copy !req
226. Can't dodge that, can you?Copy !req
227. But for you, Rikiishi, that's a pretty juvenile strategy.Copy !req
228. Let me make this clear...Copy !req
229. Those childish tricks won't mean a thing when you fight me!Copy !req
230. You idiot!Copy !req
231. Don't be so cocky!Copy !req
232. You haven't even figured out the meaning of his strategy!Copy !req
233. The meaning of his strategy?Copy !req
234. Joe, you've only ever been good with one strategy, and that's hanging your arms limp at your side.Copy !req
235. Don't you see that his uppercut strategy can demolish your No Guard strategy?Copy !req
236. Wh-What?Copy !req
237. You can only use your special Cross CounterCopy !req
238. if the opponent throws a straight punch!Copy !req
239. But you can't do a thing against the uppercut!Copy !req
240. Not only does the opponent's Centre of gravity not go forward,Copy !req
241. it almost bends backwards!Copy !req
242. So you can't even use a regular counter, much less the Cross Counter!Copy !req
243. Congratulations, Rikiishi.Copy !req
244. You did well, Rikiishi.Copy !req
245. You fought well for your condition.Copy !req
246. Thank you very much.Copy !req
247. Even after suffering from his weight loss, and facing such a veteran heavy-hitter,Copy !req
248. Rikiishi was imagining Leo as Joe.Copy !req
249. He was refiningCopy !req
250. the timing of his uppercut to use as a weapon in his fight with you.Copy !req
251. And that may not be all.Copy !req
252. I have a feeling he's hiding a more dreadful strategy in that shrunken frame of his.Copy !req
253. An even more dreadful strategy!Copy !req
254. Joe, do you think you have a chance?Copy !req
255. A chance?Copy !req
256. Well, that aside, Rikiishi did well today.Copy !req
257. I was impressed.Copy !req
258. Up until now, I've never gone into a matchCopy !req
259. with the slightest thought that I could lose.Copy !req
260. I knew I would win.Copy !req
261. But this time is different.Copy !req
262. I don't feel like I can win.Copy !req
263. Ah!Copy !req
264. Joe...Copy !req
265. Rikiishi won after an agonizing battle.Copy !req
266. But Rikiishi's uppercuts were clearly meant to render Joe's Cross Counter useless.Copy !req
267. Although Joe knows this,Copy !req
268. he still claims that the No Guard strategy is the only way to counter the uppercut.Copy !req
269. Together with Nishi and myself,Copy !req
270. he spends day and night coming up with a countermeasure against Rikiishi's uppercuts,Copy !req
271. training in the No Guard Sway Back.Copy !req
272. But, no matter how much training he does,Copy !req
273. the image of Rikiishi, who overcame his endless weight loss, will not leave his mind.Copy !req
274. Now, as Joe seeks to defeat Rikiishi by perfecting the Sway Back,Copy !req
