I dreamed of you
Hearing the memories
It was of my youth
That you sang
Midnight blues
Hey hey hey blues
Just like junkie blues
Your shout will tremble the human heart
He's been hurt, crazy lazy blues
Midnight blues
Let me hear it!
Hey hey hey blues
Still rollin' the blues
Your heat is unforgettable
Hey Joe, why aren't you punching?
Let go! Let go of me!
Bastard!
1... 2...

7...
8...
9... 10!
I'm worrying too much.
I've already returned to Japan.
I'm not myself in my dreams,
good Mexican dad.
What are you doing, idiot? Don't shout like that all of a sudden!
Aagh... Come on, come eat.
I've missed this! Finally a meal with rice!
Episode 32: Farewell... Dear Old Things
Tange Boxing Gym
What's that, Gramps?
You know what it is.
Toast and coffee.
Here.
You're kidding, right? We're not in Hawaii anymore!
I want a breakfast with rice and miso soup.
Listen, Joe,
we had the chance to go abroad.
After a new experience, we should take the opportunity to evolve.
Otherwise, we'll never progress.
I forgot the sugar!
It'll be ready soon,
our new gym!
What's he doing?
Eating bread.
What should we do, Taro?
We'll wait until he's finished his breakfast.
Isn't it better to act quickly
in a case like this?
They won't interfere. Being here so early is their way!
Gramps, I'm gonna eat some rice at a restaurant.
Don't go training, okay?
You have an autograph session this afternoon.
I know.
Agh...
- Hey. How's everyone? - Welcome back!
Thanks.
It's good to see you, Joe...
Thanks.
Tell us, Joe. How was Hawaii?
It was great, of course!
It's summer all the time over there. It's nice.
Oh... So it was nice then?
That's good...
We saw the match live by satellite.
And your defeat by K.O. in 3 rounds!
It was really classy!
Really classy!
I'm just glad to see you guys are okay.
Presents!
I knew that's why you were here so early!
They're in there!
What's going on?
Joe, welcome back.
Hey.
How was it?
Good. It wasn't bad.
Welcome back.
Oh yeah! The presents you've been waiting for.
Hurry. Otherwise they'll take them all.
I don't like mine. Switch me?
So Nishi? Am I sexy?
Yes. That's great.
Joe Yabuki Autograph Session
Joe Yabuki
He writes bad,
but he's kind of cute.
Ah, my dear Joe Yabuki!
Don't push!
- How many have I signed? - Not even a hundred.
- Next! - Please!
Me too, Yabuki!
Ah... How long till this is done?
Everyone will get a turn! Don't push.
I can't do it anymore. It's like torture.
Don't push!
This K.O. defeat in Hawaii has turned you into a celebrity, they say.
Wait your turn. Don't push, I said!
Make a line!
Hey! Even during a boxing match, we're allowed to take a break!
Let me through!
Joe!
Big Deals
Finally, here you are! I've been looking for you everywhere!
There's a panic in that room because you left.
The TV network organized this to promote you.
The media controls everything these days.
Being strong isn't enough.
Let yourself be guided by the media,
it'll be easier to organize a match against José.
Listen, Joe,
you're the Eastern champion and you even defended your title.
You're not a rogue boxer like before!
Your environment and your status has changed.
You've got to change to adapt yourself.
I know, I know. I understand.
I've got to change to adapt, is that it?
I'll take that toast and coffee breakfast, now.
Joe, that's not what I meant!
Please, don't cry. I'll buy you some juice...
Joe, come back and sign your autographs! Your fans are waiting!
Soon.
The new Tange gym will be open soon.
This is your last training session in this gym.
What do you think about the brand new gym?
I'm happy, of course.
Mr. Yabuki, look over here!
You're going to challenge the world champion.
When will that be?
The sooner the better.
Mr. Yabuki, strike a pose!
We'll publish your poster life size.
Success is guaranteed!
You seem gloomy.
Smile!
Like this?
Don't act like a clown. Be natural.
I'm not an actor.
I can't smile on command.
Mr. Yabuki!
Hey!
How about an interview, Mr. Yabuki?
Mr. Yabuki!
Where you going, Joe?
Away from the reporters!
It's been a long time since I've been here.
Nostalgia...
I remember, Joe... You made 400 punches here
and then the cops where after you.
Yeah...
I remember.
It snowed a lot that night.
With the kids from the district, we barricaded ourselves in that ruin.
The cops were notified immediately.
And Gramps went into their clutches.
Joe, be smart!
I won't!
Fine. Too bad, then.
I'll force you to leave!
Bastard!
Idiot...
He messed me up and handed me over to the cops. They sent me to
a correction house.
And I met an extraordinary guy named Toru Rikiishi.
You could say that my boxing career started here.
You're so clumsy!
Yeah!
I like this safe!
It hasn't changed at all.
There's still a hole behind it, like before!
Hey, look at this!
I carved this.
You've grown a lot! Just the right size...
Idiot!
You make a lot of noise, you know that?
This building doesn't belong to you.
We can do what we want!
Stop...
I don't care what you do here.
I just got into trouble and now I'm being chased.
Understand? Quit yelling!
It's you who won't stop yelling.
What?
I've seen you somewhere before...
You've seen him on TV.
On TV?
He's Joe Yabuki, Eastern champion!
Idiot!
Who cares! He's just a wrestler.
Don't mess with me!
You're a champion, so what?
You don't want to mess with me!
That's a nice knife.
But it's too dangerous for a kid to play with.
Agh! Let go of me!
Bastard! You'll see!
I knew it. Bro, I've found him!
We've been looking for you everywhere.
That kid is wanted bad.
Is that you, Yabuki?
Goromaki... Gondo Goromaki.
What are you doing here?
Just a little something to straighten out.
I never missed you on TV.
The world title!
I'm waiting for it.
No! Let go of me!
Don't make things difficult! Come on!
Bro, I got him.
What'd this kid do?
None of your business!
Come on!
Never in my life, idiot! Let me go!
Shit...
Hey! You wanna help me, right?
Those yakuzas are gonna take me away! Help me!
- Come on! - No, let go of me!
Let go!
Help me!
You're hurting me!
Leave him alone. He doesn't want to go with you.
Take him!
No!
Yabuki!
Bastard!
Yabuki!
He escaped!
Then grab him!
Yabuki... You think we're scum, don't you?
Gondo, what'd that kid do?
When I was little, around that kid's age,
a man looked after me.
I owe him my life.
That kid is his son.
He ran away and acted like a rogue.
I want to put him on a train home.
Brings back memories, doesn't it?
The young are impulsive and don't think things over.
See you soon.
Bye.
Demolition Site
Oh! So that's the Tange gym?
Classy!
I'm motivated!
An interview? What's the story?
I put an ad in the paper.
The Tange gym is recruiting boxers!
The Tange gym is home to the Eastern champion. That's what I put.
There's gonna be a ton of people!
And I'm doing the interviews?
Are you kidding? I can't do that!
Be nice!
I've got to arrange the new gym, finish this sign...
I don't have time!
Fine, alright. I'll take care of that stuff.
But I'm not doing the interviews!
Heave! Heave!
Wise guy! He pretends that he's gonna work
but he's using the kids.
Excuse me.
Who are you?
Ugh well, I've come because of the ad.
Alright, wait inside.
Yes, sir!
- Lower and to the right. Tange Boxing Gym
That's it. Taro, a bit more.
Tonkichi, hold on!
Slowly, slowly...
Joe, when's the opening?
According to Gramps, in two or three days.
Recruitment Room
- Where do you come from? - Iwate.
- Have you boxed before? - A bit. With the village kids.
Wow, it's beautiful here!
We could even open it today.
Where are you gonna sleep?
Upstairs. There's a dining room and bedrooms.
I can't do anymore...
4 min 13 sec... That's not bad. Next!
So? How's the new punching bag?
Great!
Today, we were able to open the new Tange boxing gym.
It's all thanks to your warm support.
The modest Danpei Tange thanks you very much.
Especially Mr. Ohashi of TV-Kanto
and Miss Shiraki, president of the Shiraki gym.
Any news about José?
No, nothing.
If he hears that you got the right to organize his match in Japan,
how will Mr. Ohashi react?
He was replaced, after all.
To me, the identity of the organizer
is not important.
As long as I face José, I don't care.
I came to the Bridge of Tears about 12 years ago.
I didn't know the people of the district...
More please.
I asked for help but the responses were cold.
I was desperate.
That's when I met Joe.
The flame of my passion for boxing was rekindled by this encounter.
We experienced things...
Joe and I,
we overcame hardships and shared joys.
That's how we've become what we are today.
Joe! We're here for you!
He's overdoing it.
The old are sentimental...
A toast to the new gym and to the title that Yabuki has defended so well!
Cheers!
Thanks for coming today.
No problem. I promised that TV-Kanto
would do everything to organize the match between Yabuki and José.
Thank you...
Idiot! Aren't you ashamed?
I like them!
You were offered a huge bouquet, too!
Drink as much as you like!
Thanks.
Joe, this is a new beginning, this situation is a first for you.
We must adapt ourselves to this change.
Understand, Joe?
It's important that we don't cling to old memories.
Tange Boxing Gym
That's better...
- Gramps... - Ugh well...
It's not that I can't sleep there, it's just...
You came to look for something?
Yes! I forgot something.
Me too, actually.
What did you forget?
You have nothing upstairs or downstairs.
I think we're looking for the same thing.
The same thing?
But I...
Yes. You're right.
If we sleep one last night here, it'll be better.
Yes. I agree.
But Joe... Only one night.
Starting tomorrow, it's a new beginning!
I know.
Come on, one last time...
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Tomorrow is tomorrow, the sun will rise
Your yesterdays can't be returned to again
The river's path is unknown
There will be calms and waterfalls
But until you see the ocean
The current will keep on going
