Baki! You're alive?!
You're horrible, Strydom.
Why'd you send me into such a dangerous place?
Um, well...
I should tell him that you beat Gaia...
Baki beat Gaia?
You know that Gaia's strength rivals your own.
You believe that too? Battlefields are like amusement parks to me.
If I wanted to, I could easily take the life of a country's leader.
Prime Minister's estate?
In one hour's time, I will come pulverize the prime minister.
What are you doing?!
I'll show you what real violence is.
"Bite Marks"
Team A, take position inside. Team B, remain in front!
The guy should show up any minute now!
Primary objective is to control him! The secondary--
Captain...! Is that...?
Is the Prime Minister here?
What business might you have with him?
Don't play dumb. I told you I'd come wipe the floor with him.
Come here...!
Oh my. Did you trip all by yourself?
Retreat! Retreat!
That's it. Gather 'round.
Quit your useless resistance! You're completely surrounded!
You think you can stop me with just 20 or 30 people?
You'd need at least a hundred.
Stop your resistance at once and do as we say!
Perfect.
He's pushing back 100 people...!
Halt!
Your security needs some improvement, Prime Minister.
Thank you for your counsel...
You can't rest easy with such dumb security.
..Sir! --Are you all right?!
Sir! Sir!
..Listen... ..Yes?!
I'm already dead.
..That's hilarious! --It's no laughing matter, Madam.
The police chief and dozens of top officials have been replaced.
This was too much, even for Yujiro-sama...
It's alright, he won't be caught.
What the top brass fear most
is the fact that one person can take on the entire nation.
And the day this is leaked to the media, he'll be an instant hero.
He'd likely be acquitted in light of the bad influence on the youth.
He's trying to respond to Baki in his own unique way.
I can't wait to see their fight...!
Are you not worried about Baki-sama?
Yujiro Hanma is the strongest man in the world.
Any woman would do anything for him.
He's more important than any parental bond.
Baki...
What will you do for his sake?
I couldn 't see it...!
I only realized it once he finished.
Well, Baki-kun?
Were you able to predict when I would cut it?
Not one bit...
Of course, this is partly because of the lightning-quick iai technique,
but that's not all. It's mostly this.
The handle's weight and the razor-sharp edge...
It's what every good Japanese sword strives to be.
I haven't seen Mr. Yujiro in some time,
but I think he would concede that the Japanese sword
is superior at shedding blood.
Kurokawa-san... Can you try it on me?
Or are you afraid to face me?!
I am.
A person driven into a corner is completely unpredictable.
I cannot fight you. Now go home.
Go home!
Martial artists are such a pain at times like this.
No matter how much they refuse to fight,
when they're attacked, they have to fight with all their might.
Isn't that right, Kurokawa-san?!
Absurd...!
This boy is as skilled as a seriously-trained expert?!
As things stand...
Very well.
He Iooks twice as strong with the sword on!
Baki-kun. I assume you understand
that you will be cut the instant you're within distance?
Same goes for you.
Come no closer! You'll be more than injured!
I'm glad I came! He's just as forceful as he is!
Time for my secret weapon!
You wish to win that badly?!
Yup. I never meant to win unharmed!
--I'm fighting Yujiro Hanma tomorrow! ..What...?!
Don't hold back once I'm close enough!
Don't worry. That's what sword fighting is all about!
Only one chance. He'll still be too far once he moves.
The moment the blade touches my body...!
Half a toenail more...
Forgive me!
Baki-kun...
It seems I've really kept you waiting...
Say, you shouldn't be unscathed either...
I used some ointment that a mercenary group gave me earlier.
This boy is...!
Should I be grateful you're unharmed, or should I be ashamed
of my own ineptitude that allowed you to be unharmed?
--You, if anyone, can do it. --Thank you very much!
To think that lad has grown strong enough to fight you...
It won't be a fight.
It'll be like taking candy from a baby.
You're the same as ever!
Fighting a god... Fighting people... Fighting your son...
If fighting is peace, and peace is simply boring to you,
..then what is strife? ..Bitter!
You talk a lot, but your body doesn't seem rusty.
Enough banter. I want you to do something for me.
--What can I possibly do? --Don't play dumb.
Do you think I'm here to drink your disgusting tea?
I drew up the blueprints and had a friend make it for me.
To draw the string back requires 200 kg of force.
Unfortunately, only I can do it.
Its arrows are custom.made from a titanium alloy.
Kanemoto. You're a lot livelier than when you got us the tea.
--Have you ever tried it out? ..Yes.
I killed this elk in Canada last year.
There's a small hole in its forehead.
I shot it in the rear, but it went clean through the body.
Kanemoto.
Will you shoot me with it?
You don't seem to be joking.
Nope.
That's far enough.
There's no point if it's any further.
I'll kill you if I feel you're holding back.
Pathetically slow. It's all looks.
--Yo, Baki. ..Old man...
Been a while.
Was getting worried; hadn't seen ya around lately.
Been gettin' yourself big scars to show no one again?
Why do you do it? It's not nice to make your old lady cry.
Pick up your cigarette butts!
Geez. Your wounds sure are deep.
I can finally give him the present tomorrow.
The greatest present known as Baki.
..You can leave. --Yes, Madam.
Is this- Is this really all right?
I have no choice...
Emi. Don't get the wrong idea.
You can think about sex if you want,
but if Baki isn't up to snuff tomorrow, you'll be nothing but leftovers.
Assume you have no relations with me.
I'll stay the night here.
Leave!
Madam! What's happened to you?!
--What are you- --Forgive me! I asked him-
Why? Why won't he fall in love with me?!
Do I have no womanly charm?!
Mom...
Because you're weak! It's because you're so weak!
It's your fault! Why did I have such a weak child?!
Emi-san!
What kind of mother treats such a diligent son this way?!
--It's alright, Kuriyagawa-san... ..Master Baki...
Mom...
I know that you love him more than me, more than anyone...
I know that I'm making you sad because I'm weak...
But if I beat him, will you finally love me?
..Love me...! ..Idiot!
Just a tiny bit of your love for him...
Please... Love..
Madam!
I refuse to Iose!
What's up with that?
Hey...!
What's your problem, creep?
Why, you!
Hanayama-san...
