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
During the 1st round, they unleash!
In the beginning, Yabuki was being dominated,
but he seems to have regained his rhythm.
Worthy of the worldwide ranking! Candidates to be champion!
What a magnificent match!
Yabuki down! Leon has dealt a superb uppercut!
Will Yabuki stand back up?
1... 2...
- 3... - I have to take this seriously.
This is an important match.
Episode 34: He... Fell with the Card
Stop!
What crap!
It's illegal to deal blows to the head!
Look, your head's bleeding!
- Nishi, a haemostatic! - Right!
You're doing okay, Leon.
Eddy, is Yabuki really a ranked boxer?
He swings too much, fights awkward
and is guard is too loose.
I can't believe he's a world ranked boxer.
Think so, eh?
Yeah.
But he's got all the guts in the world.
That's right, he needs to watch out.
Here I come!
Bastard!
Incredible!
The boxers have fallen from the ring!
Alright, Joe!
Smash Leon's head in with the chair!
Idiot! This isn't wrestling!
3... 4...
Joe, get back in the ring! Hurry!
Get back into the ring!
Fight!
Not bad, No. 1 worldwide.
Stop!
Good, Joe! You punched at the same time
but he's more worn out than you!
I don't believe it...
Huh?
In the second round, they're already bleeding!
After the blow to the head, Yabuki received a blow to the mouth.
While Leon is bleeding from the nose.
Give us the points scored, Mr. commentator.
During the first round, Yabuki was down. That makes 10 to 8 for Leon.
In the second round it was 10 to 10. They're tied.
In any case, the victory will be obtained by K.O.,
not by points.
Round 3!
Gramps, did you see his left jab?
Leon has finally grasped the magnitude of Yabuki's talent.
He used his jab, a basic technique.
Though when it landed the strength wasn't enough.
Technically, it's first class.
With that, Leon becomes formidable.
Yabuki can't pierce his guard.
How will Yabuki break Leon's perfect technique?
What's wrong, Joe?
I can't...
His left jab prevents me from rushing him...
Joe! Your legs, use your legs!
He's slipped! Down!
Shit!
Even though he has punches from hell,
he's not attacking...
If I had known he was so strong, I would have watched his fight videos
and prepared strategies.
I told myself: "He's not the champion."
I was stupid to underestimate him.
Damn!
Down!
Yabuki down! From a jab and a straight from Leon!
Brilliant!
He just slipped!
That's not my fault!
Shit...
Fight!
What's wrong, Joe? You had a good start there.
Now take him out!
It's no use...
I can't get past his left jab.
"A good left can conquer the world", they say.
Most world champions
use their lefts masterfully.
You should know that attacking with the left has more effect than the right.
It's the basics of basics.
The first lesson of the boxing manual
that I sent you
while you were in the correction house.
Attack with your left now.
You've got to return to the basics.
You're kidding right?
It's too late for me to follow the manual.
Stop it, Gramps.
Don't punch and you will lose by points, at best.
At worst, you'll be punched up and lose by K.O.
Fortunately, he takes you for a slugger.
So he won't rush at you.
He hasn't given any powerful punches
but light punches can also be deadly
when used strategically and you receive a lot of them.
Look!
Your face is bleeding and you have bruises on your chest.
That flowing blood is from those light hits.
"A good left can conquer the world."
Me, I'm going to conquer that good left.
And we won't talk anymore. You'll see...
Nishi, the towel!
Round 7!
Let's go, Leon! Finish him!
Okay, Eddy.
I am the king!
Leon unleashes!
He's going to end it this round!
Stop!
It's over, Gramps. It's finished!
You can't conquer Yabuki with a blow like that.
I was expecting that jab!
Stand up, Leon! Get up!
He did it! He did it!
Great job, Yabuki!
Finally, in round 7, he's put Leon down.
Will Leon Smily stand back up?
You are the next world champ, Leon!
Stand up! Don't you want to be the king?
Yeah... I am the king...
Stay down, you!
I am the king...
Thatta boy, Leon. Good boy.
Come on, Joe! You've got to end it this round!
You got to end it!
Give me your left again.
Otherwise, I'm coming at you!
Yabuki unleashes! Will he K.O. him?
Leon remains defensive without attacking!
Damn... He almost won...
Well, Mr. commentator?
10 to 8 for Yabuki. Joe finally gained this round.
Don't give up, Yabuki!
Yabuki's done it!
You could say he's finally trapped him.
There's only 3 rounds left.
He's got to hurry.
Otherwise, Leon could win with the points he's won.
Yabuki's counter attack always leads to a victory by K.O.
I've analyzed the match without a priori.
In any case, Yabuki's team seems to have regained moral!
Good, Joe. You've changed the course of the match.
Keep attacking, attacking, attacking!
We're winning by points.
End it in the next round!
Hey! You listening to me, Joe?
Yes... This isn't an easy opponent.
- Huh? - He's totally obsessed
with the title of the world champion.
He's a really tough guy...
Round 8!
Bastard!
Alright! Go, Joe!
Damn it, a cross counter!
You're obsessed with the title.
Me, I made a promise to José!
Who will fall first?
Here I come!
That was Yabuki's famous cross-counter!
This is it! Yabuki has won his ticket for the world title...
Come on, Leon!
Leon Smily stands back up!
Incredible! After Yabuki's cross-counter he's stood back up!
Go, Joe! Win it!
Alright!
Stop!
This is good! It's only a matter of time!
Idiot, you're doing too much!
Idiot!
Yabuki unleashes himself in the 9th round.
He's dominating the match!
Leon being on his guard, only falls back.
Yabuki accelerates!
Will it finish soon?
Heave ho! Heave ho!
Heave ho!
Finally the last round!
By points, they're tied!
With his counter-attack, Yabuki has tied!
Bastard!
Only 30 seconds! They're speeding up!
The challenge for the world title is at stake!
Stop!
The match has ended!
The winner of the match will be determined by points!
What is the verdict?
Yabuki!
Hurray!
Not by K.O. but an undeniable victory by points!
Come on, our friends are getting impatient.
Let's go back to the Bridge of Tears!
"I want it, you want it, saké is our first choice." Right?
Can I come in, Mr. Tange?
Oh, it's Mr. Ohashi!
It was a magnificent match!
Yabuki, tell us!
Did Leon punch hard?
And your fall in the first round...
President Tange, you're taking on the world title...
Ugh well...
Speak louder. We can't hear.
Hey, Mr. Yabuki...
Wait, Yabuki!
Yabuki!
Gramps, I'll wait for you at the gym, alright?
Hey, let go of me!
Hey, Yabuki!
Leon...
It's your victory, man.
You too, you were great.
Please, Yabuki. I'll accompany you in the car.
You've destroyed my dream.
I've destroyed your future 13th champion, is that it?
My dream... It was broken, but only for a moment.
Leon said: "In the case you beat Gomes and become the next world champ"
then I'll need to challenge you again."
"I hope you promise me to accept."
Not Gomes, but José.
Fine... Alright. I accept!
I'd really like a rematch so I can K.O. him.
That's your card.
And this is mine.
That's alright?
Let me turn over your card.
Oh, it's a one-eyed jack.
Good, it's a strong one.
But we won't know till later whether it can replace the king or not...
Heh, show me your card.
Ha ha... I got a king.
Kings are way stronger than jacks!!
It doesn't matter! You cheated!
Now, you can't say I'm cheating. It's skill!
Heh! You're a real joker you are.
Oh... What's that? That's not a king, it's the joker!
That's too good! You messed up your own cheat!
Funny... The joker wasn't supposed to be in there...
What is it, Leon? Why are you so anxious all of a sudden?
What's the matter with you, Leon? You sick or something?
He he... Nothing to worry about.
Where are you going?
Just outside for some fresh air.
Alright. But don't be long.
I won't.
That's strange. That's the second joker I've turned up since coming to Japan.
I'm really starting to hate that card.
I'm the king!! I'm gonna be the champ!!
Leon!
Oh my god!
World Ranking Boxer: Leon Smily Dies in an Accident!!
Joe... I don't think you should go running today.
The shock is still recent.
Of course.
Tell everyone waiting downstairs.
Right. Okay.
But we won't know till later whether it can replace the king or not...
I don't care about becoming king.
I just want to confront the king.
Well, let's go...
Maybe I'll go run a bit?
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
