Baki! Baki! Baki!
It's been five years, Baki.
Old man...!
"Killer Instinct"
"Old man"...?
Hey, now...!
This is some pretty fun stuff you're doing here, eh?
He stopped Baki's punch...!
Your fist is as slow as ever.
I almost fell asleep waiting for it to reach me.
He knocked Baki out with one tap?!
Old man! I assume you know who I am?!
Sign me up as an underground fighter at once!
The Ogre...!
Orochi...!
It's been 10 years...
How I've dreamed for this ever since that day...
I want to pay you back for this scar and this scar!
Doppo's bleeding...!
It seems you've kept up your training...
Half a step more and you could've gouged my heart out.
His punch made contact.
Sir!
Am I still registered as a fighter here?
Worry not! I could never remove your name!
Then could you make a match-up of me versus that monster?
You sure? You'll get much more than a sliced face this time...
The Tiger Killer versus the World's Strongest Being...!
They will fight in a special match!
"Seiryu Locker Room"
I apologize, Baki-kun.
In my avarice, I pushed you, the champion, to the side...
You'll never win.
His title as "strongest being in the world" isn't a bluff.
He could fight and kill any beast on Earth.
But Baki-kun, it's well-known that he's killed a tiger, too. Right?
I apologize for going first.
Just be sure you don't lose.
You can't win!
He's not strong just because of his combat techniques.
My life shortens whenever I'm around you, Yujiro.
Strydom.
Stop the car.
Hold on, Yujiro...!
What do you want at a boxing gym?
Improving?
Yeah.
In terms of combat techniques, he is always improving.
He's no longer the guy you two knew.
His fighting techniques improve day by day,
supported by his unparalleled killer instincts.
Those instincts are the same as a normal person's hunger or libido...
He can't not kill anyone, not even for one day...
"Middleweight Champion- Tatsumi Yoichi"
Here to watch? Then have a seat on that sofa.
Hey! What're you doing?!
Hey...!
Now nobody can escape...!
Mister...
Why're you trappin' a bunch of boxers?
Knock it off.
Champion...!
I'll take you on, old man.
I do love fighting more than boxing.
Those are lovely punches.
His punches aren't connecting...!
Champ!
He'll keep killing until he's satisfied...
Baki.kun...
You may have conflicting emotions...
...but I will satisfy him, much like a world.class chef.
Enough to give him food poisoning, even...
Are you planning to do this every night until your match with Orochi?
I'm gonna sleep well tonight...
You're telling me, Orochi Doppo, not to fight Hanma Yujiro?
I don't want anyone to die needlessly.
Don't mock me, boy!
Are you saying I cannot beat Hanma Yujiro, kid?
I don't mean only you. Nobody would stand a chance.
Just as I know there's nothing higher on our Earth than the sky,
I also know he's the strongest alive.
I don't know how you see your old man,
but come with me for a bit.
Today is the Shinshinkai's infamous monthly free-for-all.
Anyone, given they have the skill, has the chance to clobber me.
We must thank the gods that we are pupils of the Shinshinkai.
After all, it is our monthly chance to be the world's strongest man.
After you.
These men will attempt to be the world's strongest today.
Osu!
Bow to the director...!
Today's a street fight. Street fights don't have bowing.
Come at me, one after another.
Osu!
--You're good...! --Would you like to try?
Since you're here, let's have a bout.
That's unfair. Inviting me here when you know I love to fight...
You know I can't say no.
Baki-kun. This is my dojo.
Even should you beat me, you will not leave unharmed.
He's only joking...!
I guess you're not very nice either!
How dare you...!
Director! I'm sorry, but you should forget about fighting my dad!
If you fell for that surprise attack, fighting him would be suicide!
Well, then, let's begin...
No way! That crotch hit didn't work?!
It seems you know very little about karate.
Karate fighters have been hiding their vital spots before fights for ages.
"Hiding"...?!
Allow me to use this opportunity to show you what true karate is...
Let's begin.
I will use an upper seiken strike. Cover your face.
Get ready, now...
What's wrong, Baki-kun? I told you I'd strike here.
I can 't move...!
Next, I will give a front kick to your midsection.
Cover your solar plexus.
Get ready, now...!
And it connects.
Shuto! Nukite!
Uraken! Sokuto!
Hold on...!
I've done over 1000 of each of those moves every day for 50 years.
Anyone foolish enough to do that can do what I just did.
Even against the champion of the underground arena...
That's incredible. But he's beaten you before...
What on earth happened?
What do you want?
When the match between you and Orochi was decided, I was horrified
that I would be unable to pay you back for 8 years ago.
Do you actually think you can beat me?
I doubt any martial artist would start a fight he could never win.
This park is perfect.
Afraid of fighting a jujutsu expert on concrete?
I don't want anyone interfering with my rare feast.
Go ahead!
Ever since that day I lost to you,
I devoted myself to overcoming all attacks...
And at long last, I did just that...!
I can see them...!
The attacks that I couldn 't even sense eight years ago...!
Well done, Motobe Izo.
Allow me to reward you for your hard work.
What's wrong? Use any technique you want.
This is the fist that haunts your dreams!
You fool...!
What?!
Lucky thing the ground wasn't concrete...
You insist on knowing what happened between me and Mr. Yujiro?
Yes.
Why someone like you lost to him...
Very well...
I didn't actually lose to him in a match.
It happened 10 years ago...
--Wow, Doppo-chan! --One bottle in one gulp...!
Congratulations on the completion of your new main dojo, sir!
Ok! Bring some more!
You've had too much, sir!
Quiet, you!
..Can I have some too? ..Me too!
Orochi Doppo?
Director!
This was the man said to have God's fists?
What a disappointment.
The alcohol...
It delayed my reaction by a tenth of a second.
But that's your own fault.
A martial artist's life is a constant match;
that's no excuse for losing.
You're correct, Baki-kun.
I feel regretful for him.
I must satisfy him this time...
I waited two whole years for him, as undefeated champion...
Then suddenly you push me aside and challenge him yourself.
You'll pay dearly if you lose!
Yujiro...!
Baki.kun! Baki.kun!
Are you going straight home today?
--Why? --Well, um...
Never mind...
Yo, Champion. Been expectin' ya.
Champion?
Let's do it! I've been itchin' to fight ya!
..Kozue.chan. Go on home. --Let her stay.
It'd be better to have someone watching
instead of going all the way to the arena. Right?
I think this guy's mistaken! Let's go!
Mistaken...?!
Wait, it's me! Kato!
..We met in the locker room! --Never seen you.
Don't be like that, Champion! I came all the way here for you!
I have no idea who you are!
And you call yourself the strongest man underground?!
Strongest man...?
Yep.
He sure don't look it, but he's the undefeated underground champion!
Let's go, Kozue-chan! Musashi must be starving!
Wait...!
Fine! Then you don't need the old man's message!
Damn kid...
Mom.
--This weird guy came to see Baki-kun today. ..And then?
He called him "Champion". Isn't that strange?
I guess he mistook him for a boxer or something...
What did Baki-kun say?
He didn't know him. But he seemed to be hiding something.
I was going to tell you someday, but I guess now's the time.
Your father was a real martial artist.
He fought until he died.
His goal in life was to be the world's strongest man...
Baki.kun lives in the same world he did.
In a fairyland of men who determine who the world's strongest is...
Fairyland?
Supposedly, all men want to be the world's strongest at least once...
So they fight and fight...
I don't get it. Why would they do that?
What's so big about being the strongest?!
I don't get it, either.
But I thought it was wonderful how he devoted everything to that...
Why? He died because of that. How can you call that wonderful?!
And Baki-kun's the same way. He gets all beat up...
What's the point in it all...?
I'll be back in the morning.
Then you don 't need the old man 's message!
Message...?
--And so you ran here? --I'm sorry to intrude this late...
I don't mind! I had wanted to inform you, anyway!
Tell me, Baki.
Would you like to be the main event the day Yujiro and Doppo fight?
Eh?!
I have an incredible opponent worthy of the undefeated champion!
So incredible that Yujiro and Doppo might be shocked!
Its neck was snapped.
This is definitely the circus tiger reported missing this morning.
What's it doing here...?
This was done barehanded.
Someone other than you can beat a tiger barehanded?!
"General Hospital"
Doctor!
Where were you?!
Out big-game hunting.

Demon and war god.
The festival of beasts that all have waited for.
The boy watches the banquet unfold.
The two lofty, violent fangs dance to prove their dominance.
Who will survive the intense battle? The demon or the war god?
