00:09:53,676 --> 00:09:56,512
[grunting]

176
00:09:56,596 --> 00:09:57,680
[Wakatsuki groans]

177
00:09:57,763 --> 00:09:59,056
[tense music playing]

178
00:09:59,140 --> 00:10:00,850
[Wakatsuki groans]

179
00:10:01,976 --> 00:10:04,937
-[Wakatsuki groans]
-[Julius roars]

180
00:10:05,021 --> 00:10:06,063
[Wakatsuki coughs]

181
00:10:06,147 --> 00:10:08,149
[tense music continues]

182
00:10:10,151 --> 00:10:11,902
[Kanoh] Their frames are different.

183
00:10:13,237 --> 00:10:15,948
They're an equal match
in terms of their muscular strength,

184
00:10:16,032 --> 00:10:18,200
but their size will determine the outcome.

185
00:10:18,284 --> 00:10:20,786
Whoever has the bigger frame
can take more hits.

186
00:10:22,163 --> 00:10:27,084
I can only see one way for Wakatsuki to
be able to realistically make a comeback.

187
00:10:28,419 --> 00:10:29,378
[Wakatsuki grunts]

188
00:10:31,172 --> 00:10:33,341
-[Julius groans]
-Hmm.

189
00:10:33,424 --> 00:10:34,592
[gasps]

190
00:10:35,217 --> 00:10:36,844
[Kanoh] So he does have one.

191
00:10:36,927 --> 00:10:39,430
[groans]

192
00:10:40,097 --> 00:10:41,349
[sputters]

193
00:10:41,432 --> 00:10:42,683
[Wakatsuki] Oh no.

194
00:10:43,851 --> 00:10:45,645
Kanoh had to have seen that.

195
00:10:46,687 --> 00:10:50,066
That was supposed to be
my secret weapon for that fight.

196
00:10:50,149 --> 00:10:52,693
It's the Blast Core
versus the Fang of Metsudo.

197
00:10:54,528 --> 00:10:56,489
[narrator] This ability
has a similar mechanism

198
00:10:56,572 --> 00:10:59,992
to releasing a spring
that's been compressed to the limit.

199
00:11:00,785 --> 00:11:05,081
Wakatsuki compresses the muscles
in his body towards a single point.

200
00:11:06,415 --> 00:11:08,334
He pulls them to his core.

201
00:11:09,210 --> 00:11:12,254
Once he has gathered all his strength
to the center of his body,

202
00:11:12,338 --> 00:11:13,839
he releases it.

203
00:11:13,923 --> 00:11:15,925
[roars]

204
00:11:16,008 --> 00:11:19,553
[narrator] This move, in particular,
bears a very similar resemblance

205
00:11:19,637 --> 00:11:22,848
to a no-motion reverse punch
in traditional karate.

206
00:11:24,392 --> 00:11:27,728
He refers to this move as Blast Core.

207
00:11:28,854 --> 00:11:32,942
Takeshi Wakatsuki lost to Agito Kanoh,
the "Fang of Metsudo,"

208
00:11:33,025 --> 00:11:35,361
and created this move for their rematch.

209
00:11:35,444 --> 00:11:38,906
He lost to a fang,
then sharpened his own for the battle!

210
00:11:39,407 --> 00:11:40,825
[Heihachi] This is the first time

211
00:11:40,908 --> 00:11:44,120
he's ever let anyone see him
use Blast Core in an official match.

212
00:11:44,704 --> 00:11:48,082
The fact that he's using it
means that he had no other choice.

213
00:11:49,667 --> 00:11:51,168
[narrator] Julius Reinhold's body

214
00:11:51,252 --> 00:11:55,756
was shuddering against a shock
unlike anything he'd experienced before.

215
00:11:56,465 --> 00:11:58,551
[Julius] I let my guard down.

216
00:11:59,135 --> 00:12:02,388
If that had gotten
any closer to a vital organ, I'd…

217
00:12:02,471 --> 00:12:04,640
[rock music playing]

218
00:12:04,724 --> 00:12:05,891
[Julius groans]

219
00:12:07,977 --> 00:12:09,478
[Wakatsuki grunts]

220
00:12:09,562 --> 00:12:12,982
[grunting]

221
00:12:13,065 --> 00:12:15,776
Whoa! How the hell is he pushing him?

222
00:12:15,860 --> 00:12:19,780
Wow, that no-motion punch
is really one hell of a sight to see!

223
00:12:19,864 --> 00:12:21,282
[strains]

224
00:12:24,118 --> 00:12:28,998
Whoa! Julius catches him off guard
and throws him into a reversal!

225
00:12:29,874 --> 00:12:32,001
[both grunt]

226
00:12:34,795 --> 00:12:37,715
Oh! Now Julius is backing away?

227
00:12:37,798 --> 00:12:39,967
[man 1] That punch must've scared him off!

228
00:12:40,050 --> 00:12:41,969
[man 2] Come on now! Go get him!

229
00:12:42,052 --> 00:12:43,554
[Kaolan] Takeshi Wakatsuki.

230
00:12:44,263 --> 00:12:45,890
I had underestimated him.

231
00:12:45,973 --> 00:12:48,559
I didn't know
he was hiding something so powerful.

232
00:12:49,059 --> 00:12:51,562
[Muteba] Don't let him win yet, you idiot.

233
00:12:52,062 --> 00:12:55,483
I'm using you
to fish for more information. [chuckles]

234
00:12:56,066 --> 00:12:56,901
[groans]

235
00:12:57,401 --> 00:13:00,571
[Wakatsuki] He did so much damage
with just a single attack.

236
00:13:03,073 --> 00:13:05,868
[Julius breathes heavily]

237
00:13:06,577 --> 00:13:08,162
[Julius snarls]

238
00:13:08,245 --> 00:13:09,288
[exhales sharply]

239
00:13:11,665 --> 00:13:14,543
-[Wakatsuki] He's as intimidating as ever.
-[Julius snarls]

240
00:13:14,627 --> 00:13:16,587
[Wakatsuki] And the burden's still big.

241
00:13:17,087 --> 00:13:18,172
So what?

242
00:13:18,964 --> 00:13:21,425
I knew I'd take a beating
on the way to Kanoh.

243
00:13:22,009 --> 00:13:24,094
I'm not scared of getting hurt!

244
00:13:24,804 --> 00:13:26,430
This body can heal.

245
00:13:27,014 --> 00:13:30,142
I am more than prepared
to give up whatever I have to.

246
00:13:30,226 --> 00:13:31,602
I wanna fight him.

247
00:13:32,228 --> 00:13:35,564
The Fang of Metsudo, Agito Kanoh!

248
00:13:36,565 --> 00:13:39,318
BLAST CORE

249
00:13:39,819 --> 00:13:42,738
[Wakatsuki roars]

250
00:13:47,451 --> 00:13:48,661
[Julius groans]

251
00:13:49,411 --> 00:13:51,872
-[Julius strains]
-[Wakatsuki groans]

252
00:13:51,956 --> 00:13:56,377
[Julius] Just give up,
Takeshi Wakatsuki! [strains]

253
00:13:56,460 --> 00:13:59,880
[groans]

254
00:14:05,469 --> 00:14:09,557
-[Julius strains]
-[Wakatsuki groans]

255
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,141
[Wakatsuki] Th-That bastard.

256
00:14:11,725 --> 00:14:14,228
He must have dodged
right before the impact.

257
00:14:15,855 --> 00:14:18,774
[Julius] The first thing I noticed
after you used that attack

258
00:14:18,858 --> 00:14:21,026
was that you missed any vital points.

259
00:14:22,027 --> 00:14:26,115
When you tried to use that move again,
you saw that I distanced myself,

260
00:14:26,198 --> 00:14:27,783
and you relaxed out of it.

261
00:14:27,867 --> 00:14:32,121
That's when I realized that your attack
range must be limited with that move.

262
00:14:32,204 --> 00:14:36,876
I calculated it would be two fist-lengths
shorter than a normal punch.

263
00:14:36,959 --> 00:14:39,336
That's why you weren't able to land a blow

264
00:14:39,420 --> 00:14:41,964
anywhere on my body
that actually mattered.

265
00:14:42,464 --> 00:14:45,384
I know about that old injury on your foot.

266
00:14:45,467 --> 00:14:49,513
Just before impact, I changed the distance
and made you miss.

267
00:14:50,139 --> 00:14:52,141
It doesn't matter how hard you hit

268
00:14:52,224 --> 00:14:56,270
if you can't connect with
any of my vital organs to end the match.

269
00:14:56,353 --> 00:14:58,564
[Wakatsuki groans]

270
00:14:59,481 --> 00:15:01,317
All this foolishness.

271
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,153
Did you think
he was only superhumanly strong?

272
00:15:04,778 --> 00:15:06,488
"The flesh is knowledge."

273
00:15:07,615 --> 00:15:10,784
Julius isn't just some huge oaf
without a brain.

274
00:15:11,493 --> 00:15:14,580
In order to increase
the effectiveness of his strength,

275
00:15:14,663 --> 00:15:16,790
he has studied sports physiology,

276
00:15:16,874 --> 00:15:20,002
sports medicine, psychology,
and even physics.

277
00:15:20,502 --> 00:15:23,672
His intimate knowledge
of the human brain and body

278
00:15:23,756 --> 00:15:27,301
allows him to make educated decisions
in the blink of an eye

279
00:15:27,384 --> 00:15:29,303
while locked in the heat of battle.

280
00:15:29,803 --> 00:15:33,766
His muscles and physical build
are unmatched in human history,

281
00:15:33,849 --> 00:15:35,976
and his intelligence equals that strength.

282
00:15:36,644 --> 00:15:40,022
Nothing you can possibly conceive
will work on Julius.

283
00:15:40,105 --> 00:15:44,026
[Sayaka] This is
a real tough situation, folks!

284
00:15:44,109 --> 00:15:45,277
This is no joke.

285
00:15:45,361 --> 00:15:48,822
We can hear his bones snapping
all the way from the announcer table!

286
00:15:48,906 --> 00:15:52,993
Can Wakatsuki manage to escape
this crazy bear hug from hell?

287
00:15:53,702 --> 00:15:54,912
[Wakatsuki strains]

288
00:15:54,995 --> 00:15:56,121
[Julius grunts]

289
00:15:56,205 --> 00:15:57,748
[Julius] What's going on?

290
00:15:57,831 --> 00:15:59,750
Wakatsuki's doing something.

291
00:15:59,833 --> 00:16:01,043
Is he shrinking?

292
00:16:01,794 --> 00:16:02,962
BLAST CORE

293
00:16:03,045 --> 00:16:04,380

313
00:17:17,202 --> 00:17:20,247
Utterly uninspiring, tiger cub.

[narrator] The leg muscles are more
than three times stronger than the arms.

323
00:17:48,067 --> 00:17:51,028
He used Blast Core
to distract his opponent,

324
00:17:51,111 --> 00:17:54,239
then snuck in
with a hard kick at close range.

325

-[Julius groans]

Uh… the match is over!

331
00:18:17,221 --> 00:18:19,306
And the winner is

332
00:18:19,389 --> 00:18:21,141
Takeshi Wakatsuki!

-[Long Min] Director Hayami.
-Hmm?

338
00:18:34,738 --> 00:18:37,407
[chuckles] What are you two doing here?

339
00:18:37,491 --> 00:18:38,992
We're very sorry to hear about Julius.

340

GUNJI KITO, LONG MIN
GUARDIANS IN HAYAMI'S PRIVATE ARMY

341
00:18:41,245 --> 00:18:44,414
Ah, yeah. I know
he was your own little tiger cub, right?

342
00:18:44,498 --> 00:18:48,252
[scoffs] He has failed
to live up to my expectations.

343
00:18:50,212 --> 00:18:52,798
So… is that what you thought
I was going to say?

344
00:18:53,382 --> 00:18:54,675
[laughs]

345
00:18:54,758 --> 00:18:58,220
As long as one of the fighters
from my stable wins this tournament,

346
00:18:58,303 --> 00:19:00,389
I come out of this perfectly fine.

347
00:19:00,889 --> 00:19:02,057
And if none of them do,

348
00:19:02,141 --> 00:19:05,060
then they can look forward
to those consequences later.

349
00:19:05,644 --> 00:19:06,687
Agreed?

351
00:19:08,647 --> 00:19:10,691
SANEMITSU YOROIZUKA
VILLAGE OF DAWN CHIEF

352
00:19:10,774 --> 00:19:12,359
You can be so cruel.

353
00:19:13,068 --> 00:19:16,947
[Hayami laughs]

354
00:19:18,740 --> 00:19:22,244
[Heihachi] Are you absolutely sure you
don't want to go to the medic's office?

355
00:19:22,744 --> 00:19:26,832
Yeah. I don't wanna risk
having any more information leak.

356
00:19:26,915 --> 00:19:31,128
For those injuries on your face,
we still have some cultured skin in stock.

357
00:19:31,211 --> 00:19:34,882
It won't attach itself in a single day,
but it should manage to do the job.

358
00:19:35,382 --> 00:19:37,092
At least for the meantime, anyway.

359
00:19:37,176 --> 00:19:39,303
The real issue is my right ankle.

360
00:19:39,970 --> 00:19:42,931
It's in a lot worse shape
than I thought it would be by now.

361
00:19:43,432 --> 00:19:47,394
And during the match,
I think I might have injured it again.

362
00:19:47,936 --> 00:19:50,564
[sighs] And, uh, the big problem

363
00:19:50,647 --> 00:19:54,484
is that the other fighters
have now seen my Blast Core attack.

364
00:19:55,402 --> 00:19:59,156
So it can't be my wild card. Not anymore.

365
00:20:01,867 --> 00:20:02,868
[strains]

366
00:20:04,369 --> 00:20:05,370
Hmm.

367
00:20:05,454 --> 00:20:06,788
GEN SHIKANO
GANDAI DIRECTOR

368
00:20:06,872 --> 00:20:10,042
[Tomari] Things are starting
to get real weird, honestly.

369
00:20:14,463 --> 00:20:18,508
Yeah. Toyo Electric
was eliminated in Round 2.

370
00:20:19,468 --> 00:20:22,679
President Hayami seems to be
losing influence by the day.

371
00:20:22,763 --> 00:20:27,142
[groans] I don't care about what happens
to that bearded old fart of a man.

372
00:20:27,226 --> 00:20:29,311
I'm talking about who's gonna win.

373
00:20:29,394 --> 00:20:30,229
Hmm?

374
00:20:30,312 --> 00:20:32,814
Furumi Pharma's already
made an announcement.

375
00:20:32,898 --> 00:20:34,066
HIDEKI NOGI
NOGI GROUP DIRECTOR

376
00:20:34,149 --> 00:20:36,693
They said they're going to choose Nogi
as the director.

377
00:20:36,777 --> 00:20:39,571
[Shikano] Well, they are
part of the same faction, after all.

378
00:20:39,655 --> 00:20:42,449
I'm sure there's some sort
of secret agreement between them, though.

379
00:20:42,532 --> 00:20:45,035
How can you be so calm about this?

380
00:20:45,118 --> 00:20:47,412
Let's say Hayami does fall out of favor.

381
00:20:47,496 --> 00:20:50,249
If someone shows up to replace him,
then it's all pointless!

382
00:20:50,332 --> 00:20:52,501
I can't say I agree there.

383
00:20:52,584 --> 00:20:54,586
[tense music playing]

384
00:20:56,922 --> 00:20:59,508
Be honest now.
What are you trying to tell me?

385
00:21:00,467 --> 00:21:01,510
Shikano,

386
00:21:01,593 --> 00:21:06,515
out of every piece of shit that
participates in the Kengan Association,

387
00:21:07,015 --> 00:21:08,433
you're one of the least shitty.

388
00:21:08,517 --> 00:21:12,020
I can help you make it
all the way to the top if you want me to.

389
00:21:12,771 --> 00:21:15,816
I just need you
to pledge your loyalty to me!

390
00:21:16,984 --> 00:21:19,486
Ha. I feel so honored.

391
00:21:19,569 --> 00:21:22,489
Admittedly, this does sound
like an intriguing offer.

392
00:21:22,572 --> 00:21:25,826
It would throw off the power balance
within the Association.

393
00:21:25,909 --> 00:21:29,538
But, uh, you really think
I want to answer to you?

394
00:21:30,289 --> 00:21:33,667
I think you may be
a little too presumptuous about this, yes?

395
00:21:33,750 --> 00:21:36,586
[snarls] I knew
you'd say something like that.

396
00:21:37,504 --> 00:21:39,798
I know how we can settle this.

397
00:21:39,881 --> 00:21:43,885
Whoever's fighter wins the next match
will be chosen as faction leader!

398
00:21:47,514 --> 00:21:48,515
[door opens]

399
00:21:48,598 --> 00:21:49,808
-[Haruo] Hey!
-Huh?

400
00:21:50,434 --> 00:21:52,394
I went out and grabbed what you wanted.

401
00:21:53,395 --> 00:21:55,314
Oh! Yeah, thanks a lot.

402
00:21:55,397 --> 00:21:59,151
[Haruo] But, uh, mind if I ask
what you need this for?

403
00:21:59,735 --> 00:22:04,781
[Sekibayashi sighs] Haruo, haven't you
ever watched pro-wrestling before?

404
00:22:04,865 --> 00:22:08,952
Uh, no. Actually, I've never seen a match.

405
00:22:09,036 --> 00:22:10,162
Sorry, sir.

406
00:22:10,245 --> 00:22:13,040
Give me a break. You're useless.

407
00:22:13,874 --> 00:22:17,294
If you wanna be a real man,
you gotta keep up with pro wrestling.

408
00:22:17,377 --> 00:22:19,046
Uh, okay.

409
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:21,006
[Sekibayashi] Oh, well.

410
00:22:21,506 --> 00:22:24,092
Take a closer look here, Haruo.

411
00:22:25,010 --> 00:22:29,056
I think it's time I teach you
what pro wrestling is all about.

412
00:22:29,139 --> 00:22:30,932
[growls]

413
00:22:37,606 --> 00:22:39,608
[rock music playing]

414
00:23:53,723 --> 00:23:55,725
[music fades]

415
00:24:05,610 --> 00:24:09,739
[narrator] A demon has arrived.
Tremble in fear, mankind!

416
00:24:09,823 --> 00:24:12,701
An evil monster
has been summoned from hell

417
00:24:12,784 --> 00:24:15,078
and will paint the arena in blood!

418
00:24:16,288 --> 00:24:19,499
Marvelous! Next episode, "The Clown."
