1. Joe...Copy !req
2. Now that I've seen this fight, I can see that Rikiishi is still a step ahead of you.Copy !req
3. Rikiishi's uppercuts are his trump card against your No Guard strategy.Copy !req
4. Now listen, Joe.Copy !req
5. No matter how invincible your Cross Counter is,Copy !req
6. you won't gain anything from it unless your opponent throws a straight.Copy !req
7. And Rikiishi will avoid that by throwing uppercuts, which only go up!Copy !req
8. That's why...Copy !req
9. That's why,Copy !req
10. as long as Rikiishi never throws a straight,Copy !req
11. your No Guard strategy may as well have lost!Copy !req
12. May as well have lost...Copy !req
13. Hey, uncle.Copy !req
14. I wouldn't throw my No Guard strategy out the window just yet.Copy !req
15. What? Say that again.Copy !req
16. Sure, I'll say it as many times as you want.Copy !req
17. I shall improve my No Guard strategy!Copy !req
18. In other words, my No Guard is the only thing I can rely on, just like it's always been!Copy !req
19. You idiot! Have you gone mad from seeing how Rikiishi rendered the Cross Counter useless?Copy !req
20. Don't you get that your No Guard won't do a thing against his uppercut strategy?Copy !req
21. I know, but...Copy !req
22. I see. A verbal explanation isn't enough for you, uncle.Copy !req
23. What?Copy !req
24. Never mind, never mind.Copy !req
25. This is just a generational gap.Copy !req
26. It was my mistake to try and explain something to a decrepit uncle.Copy !req
27. Decrepit!Copy !req
28. I have to show this to you in action.Copy !req
29. All right, uncle! Put on the gloves and get in the ring!Copy !req
30. Looks like you've come up with another stupid idea.Copy !req
31. All right, explain!Copy !req
32. Okay.Copy !req
33. Listen up, uncle.Copy !req
34. This is what we got out of the match.Copy !req
35. Rikiishi's going to use an uppercut-heavy strategy to keep me from throwing the Cross Counter.Copy !req
36. But...Copy !req
37. But what'll happen if I'm serious and tighten my guard against it?Copy !req
38. Now, hit me with the hardest uppercut you have, like the one from your glory days, uncle!Copy !req
39. The hardest?Copy !req
40. Yes.Copy !req
41. All right. I may be old, but you should know how strong my punches are!Copy !req
42. I know, just get on with it! Now!Copy !req
43. Right, here I come!Copy !req
44. H-Hey, Joe! You all right?Copy !req
45. I warned you, didn't I?Copy !req
46. Heh, that's nothing.Copy !req
47. I intentionally weakened my guard just to experiment, you cripple.Copy !req
48. What?Copy !req
49. But that's good enough.Copy !req
50. If Rikiishi's uppercut hits me head-on,Copy !req
51. and I have a half-baked guard, it'll be the exact same!Copy !req
52. I get it.Copy !req
53. You're right. Guards are good at protecting against frontal attacks,Copy !req
54. but you could still be blown away by an uppercut coming from below.Copy !req
55. Yes. And that's where my style comes in.Copy !req
56. With both arms hanging loose.Copy !req
57. All right, decrepit uncle!Copy !req
58. I know this may be tough for you,Copy !req
59. but this time, why don't you try landing about a dozen uppercuts on me?Copy !req
60. I've had just about enough of your lip!Copy !req
61. Here I go!Copy !req
62. Yes!Copy !req
63. Hey, where are you going, uncle?Copy !req
64. I was just a bit off, idiot!Copy !req
65. Oh, really?Copy !req
66. It looked to me like your decrepit legs couldn't keep up!Copy !req
67. I'll pull out all the stops now!Copy !req
68. What's the matter, uncle?Copy !req
69. Don't tell me you were missing on purpose!Copy !req
70. No.Copy !req
71. Well, looks like you've finally caught on.Copy !req
72. But just like Leo showed us that night,Copy !req
73. the best tactic against a huge uppercutCopy !req
74. is to sway back, moving your upper body to make it miss.Copy !req
75. And the No Guard stance, with both arms swinging loose, is the best position for that.Copy !req
76. If I put up a half-baked guard, I'd start to rely on it,Copy !req
77. and I wouldn't be as flexible.Copy !req
78. Y-You have a point.Copy !req
79. I suppose you're just a hair away from genius when it comes to boxing.Copy !req
80. So first I'm an idiot, and now I'm a genius?Copy !req
81. Man, it's tiring going back and forth like that!Copy !req
82. But it's too soon to celebrate!Copy !req
83. Rikiishi's ability is also genius-level!Copy !req
84. And his uppercuts are far from average!Copy !req
85. Hey, Nishi!Copy !req
86. Nishi!Copy !req
87. Coming.Copy !req
88. What do you want?Copy !req
89. Don't give me that!Copy !req
90. Put on your gloves and get in the ring, now!Copy !req
91. I-In the ring?Copy !req
92. I said now!Copy !req
93. What's the matter, uncle?Copy !req
94. You're so tired, you're switching out with Nishi?Copy !req
95. No. We'll do some sparring.Copy !req
96. Two-on-one.Copy !req
97. T-Two-on-one?Copy !req
98. Yes. Two-on-one.Copy !req
99. Rikiishi's uppercuts are on a whole other level from mine, in strength, speed, and quantity.Copy !req
100. To overcome that, Nishi and I will come at you with all four of our arms.Copy !req
101. I get it. That's a pretty great idea-for you.Copy !req
102. I don't think I need to mention this, but this is Sway Back training.Copy !req
103. You can't punch back at us, Joe.Copy !req
104. All right,Copy !req
105. Listen, Nishi.Copy !req
106. You can attack with me, from the front, or to the side!Copy !req
107. Just hit Joe with uppercuts!Copy !req
108. B-But if we attack Joe together, and he can't counterattack...Copy !req
109. Stop complaining and just do it!Copy !req
110. Yes! No need to hold back, Nishi!Copy !req
111. But, Joe...Copy !req
112. Enough complaining, Nishi.Copy !req
113. Get over here and line up next to me!Copy !req
114. Right.Copy !req
115. Now, whenever you're ready.Copy !req
116. Let's go, Nishi!Copy !req
117. R-Right!Copy !req
118. Well, it really makes a difference taking on you both at once! It's definitely a lot more intense!Copy !req
119. Stop your babbling!Copy !req
120. Get him, Nishi!Copy !req
121. Joe!Copy !req
122. Nishi, stop worrying and pour some water on him!Copy !req
123. Joe...Copy !req
124. Water?Copy !req
125. Yes!Copy !req
126. I'm going outside for fresh air.Copy !req
127. Uncle...Copy !req
128. Joe...Copy !req
129. You must do everything you can to endure this bloody training!Copy !req
130. You have no other hope of victory.Copy !req
131. After all, Rikiishi is enduring an incredible drop in weight just to fight you!Copy !req
132. You must stick with it, Joe!Copy !req
133. How pathetic!Copy !req
134. Pour another bucket on him!Copy !req
135. Give me the bucket, Nishi.Copy !req
136. O-Okay.Copy !req
137. What's the matter? Are you done?Copy !req
138. Don't make me laugh.Copy !req
139. I'm not down for the count, but...Copy !req
140. The arms-hanging Sway Back...Copy !req
141. This training to dodge Rikiishi's uppercut...Copy !req
142. Will doing this...Copy !req
143. Will doing thisCopy !req
144. let me win?Copy !req
145. Rikiishi's going through an incredible drop in weight to prepare for our fight.Copy !req
146. Can I beat him?Copy !req
147. Hey look, some are reporters here!Copy !req
148. Good day, everyone!Copy !req
149. Is Yabuki practising now?Copy !req
150. Sure, he is. At least, it looks like he is. He's pretty active.Copy !req
151. By the way, how about it?Copy !req
152. How about a drink to celebrate Joe knocking out Rikiishi ahead o' time?Copy !req
153. N-No, we're on the job!Copy !req
154. Come on, it'll be fine!Copy !req
155. Man, oh man. They think he's won the Rikiishi match.Copy !req
156. After all, around here they think Joe's some kind of god.Copy !req
157. Hey, boy.Copy !req
158. Sorry to bother you, but would you let me by?Copy !req
159. Thanks a lot.Copy !req
160. Excuse me.Copy !req
161. Who's there?Copy !req
162. W-We're from Toto Sports...Copy !req
163. Who told you you could come in?Copy !req
164. W-Well, uh...Copy !req
165. Get out!Copy !req
166. But...Copy !req
167. Out!Copy !req
168. And don't come back!Copy !req
169. That scared me.Copy !req
170. It's like he's gone insane.Copy !req
171. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!Copy !req
172. We got kicked out because of you!Copy !req
173. W-We're sorry. Just don't be so mad at us.Copy !req
174. But does Tange Gym always practice that intensely?Copy !req
175. Say what?Copy !req
176. Tange Gym's famous for its bloody training! Understand?Copy !req
177. Hey!Copy !req
178. Come here for a moment!Copy !req
179. O-Okay.Copy !req
180. I see.Copy !req
181. This is just perfect.Copy !req
182. They're peeping!Copy !req
183. They're peeping!Copy !req
184. Uncle!Copy !req
185. Please! We're at work!Copy !req
186. Just let us go this once, okay?Copy !req
187. Let you go?Copy !req
188. For free?Copy !req
189. With no charge?Copy !req
190. U-Uh, this isn't much, but maybe you can go buy a treat or something...Copy !req
191. Well, it's not much, but I'll take it.Copy !req
192. I can't say I don't understand you reporters' position.Copy !req
193. Good, good.Copy !req
194. But just you try and write an article that does Joe wrong!Copy !req
195. You'll pay for it!Copy !req
196. We'll kick you down, then smash and smush and squish-Copy !req
197. And squash and smash and smush you!Copy !req
198. Understand, you hacks?Copy !req
199. There, I said it!Copy !req
200. All right, now let's go to the Oden stand at the corner!Copy !req
201. Let's go get some spaghetti at that restaurant on the thoroughfare!Copy !req
202. Man, oh man...Copy !req
203. What a handful.Copy !req
204. Hey, uncle!Copy !req
205. They're peeping!Copy !req
206. F-Fine. Go and buy yourselves a drink.Copy !req
207. It worked! Let's get some sake at the sake house!Copy !req
208. Idiot, let's go to a beer hall!Copy !req
209. You seem tired out.Copy !req
210. Let's leave it at that for today.Copy !req
211. D-Don't stop now!Copy !req
212. Keep it going!Copy !req
213. Please keep going, uncle!Copy !req
214. I don't want to do this anymore!Copy !req
215. I can't keep this up! I can't keep on hitting you to a bloody pulp!Copy !req
216. Idiot! I said I'm fine, so I'm fine!Copy !req
217. Pull yourself together, Nishi!Copy !req
218. Give me a break...Copy !req
219. I'm just about to get it!Copy !req
220. Now, hit me with your best shot!Copy !req
221. What's he about to get?Copy !req
222. What will those three do?Copy !req
223. Come on! Bring it!Copy !req
224. Nishi.Copy !req
225. Y-Yes.Copy !req
226. Let's go.Copy !req
227. What's the matter, Nishi? Get in the fight!Copy !req
228. All right, let's go!Copy !req
229. Yes, that's it!Copy !req
230. That's good! Keep punching and punching and punching, Nishi!Copy !req
231. Good, good!Copy !req
232. What's the matter? Can't you punch any harder?Copy !req
233. Or are you worn out?Copy !req
234. Well, I don't blame you.Copy !req
235. Missing an uppercut means double the swing.Copy !req
236. So it uses up double the energy!Copy !req
237. I didn't think you still had enough juice in you to theorize!Copy !req
238. Go, Nishi!Copy !req
239. Keep on punching!Copy !req
240. Almost there.Copy !req
241. I've almost got it. I'm nearly there!Copy !req
242. I can't do this!Copy !req
243. If this keeps up, you'll be crippled before the match!Copy !req
244. Idiot!Copy !req
245. If...Copy !req
246. If you don'tCopy !req
247. want to see me beaten up by Rikiishi and coughing blood on the day of the match...Copy !req
248. If you don't...Copy !req
249. Then punch me now!Copy !req
250. Now, get up and punch!Copy !req
251. But...Copy !req
252. Come on! Punch!Copy !req
253. Nishi, this is what Joe wants.Copy !req
254. Come on!Copy !req
255. They're attacking him with uppercut after uppercut, then they suddenly throw a straight...Copy !req
256. They must've come up with that strategy by watching Rikiishi.Copy !req
257. I see it!Copy !req
258. That's enough! I've had enough of covering this!Copy !req
259. That hurt to watch!Copy !req
260. Was that even boxing practice?Copy !req
261. I don't know.Copy !req
262. Rikiishi's lost so much weight, he's going into matches looking like a mummy.Copy !req
263. Will they last until they meet in the ring?Copy !req
264. Even if they do...Copy !req
265. Maybe they'll both end up losing.Copy !req
266. Joe, I think you'd better stop.Copy !req
267. What?Copy !req
268. Once a man's eyes are too used to seeing uppercuts,Copy !req
269. he'll fall into the trap of failing to adjust to different punches.Copy !req
270. I cough up blood and don't quitCopy !req
271. so that I don't fall into his trap.Copy !req
272. Now, if you have time to give me that again,Copy !req
273. let's do this over! Just as before!Copy !req
274. Nishi!Copy !req
275. Uncle!Copy !req
276. Well, let's go.Copy !req
277. You'll be sorry if you pull your punches!Copy !req
278. I can see it!Copy !req
279. But I won't hold back either.Copy !req
280. I'll throw a hard punch when I think I can win!Copy !req
281. Sounds good. Right, Nishi?Copy !req
282. Yes!Copy !req
283. Now!Copy !req
284. I see it! Now!Copy !req
285. Uncle!Copy !req
286. Uncle! Stay with us!Copy !req
287. Uncle! Hang in there!Copy !req
288. You awake, uncle?Copy !req
289. I did it, uncle.Copy !req
290. Once you went from throwing uppercuts to a straight,Copy !req
291. I turned that straight into a Cross Counter!Copy !req
292. You did it! You did it, Joe!Copy !req
293. Well, it looks like you need not worry about Rikiishi's uppercuts anymore.Copy !req
294. Yes.Copy !req
295. But don't lose focus just yet.Copy !req
296. Your opponent may have countless other trump cards up his sleeve.Copy !req
297. Just trust me.Copy !req
298. I'll be two or three times as confident when I'm in the ring!Copy !req
299. Joe's trainingCopy !req
300. continues night and day.Copy !req
301. Meanwhile, as Rikiishi endures his fierce weight loss,Copy !req
302. he finally loses control, unable to bear his thirst.Copy !req
303. Rikiishi rampages like a madman in search of water in his dark cellar.Copy !req
304. Now, as Rikiishi faces an ultimate crisis before his showdown with Joe,Copy !req
