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
Eastern Title Match Joe Yabuki V.S. Harimao
Lethal weapon?
He has a secret strategy to defeat you.
Was he the one who told you?
No. It was my sixth sense.
That weasel...
We don't know what he's saying, or what he's thinking.
But I understand that during his sparring at the Shiraki club
he was always at 80% of his capacity.
At 80%?
Meaning that we've never seen Harimao at his maximum.
He always seemed relaxed.
He smiled even.
For example, with his chocolate....
If we gave him chocolate of all different sizes,
he'll always save the biggest for last.
That's good, Nishi.
I'm not worried or anything, of course.
But if you lose this match,
I'll be less enthusiastic to see your match against José.
Take care.
About that big chocolate bar...
If I ate it, he'd be mad... right?
Episode 39: Two Beasts... in the Jungle
Eastern Title Match Joe Yabuki V.S. Harimao
The match for the Eastern title between Yabuki and Harimao, a Malaysian,
is a very original fight.
Who knows what the challenger Harimao is capable of.
He's a true savage!
Don't forget Yabuki is nicknamed: the Brawler, the Killer.
He's a true rebel!
The boxing fans must remember his fights:
his fiery match against Carlos Rivera,
his title match against Ryuhi Kim, from whom he won the title
and his crude match against Leon Smily.
Watch closely during the first round.
He is dangerous.
See ya!
Hup!
Go on, let yourself go.
You're in the jungle, just like your home.
We're in a little square of jungle!
Mr. Tono, Yabuki will quietly watch Harimao's game.
Yes. Like he's watching the world championship,
it's definitely wise of him to avoid the worst.
He's slipped! Harimao has lost his balance.
That's good Yabuki! You're very relaxed!
Come on, Harimao, a little more pep!
Neither you or I
are the kind of boxer to be calm.
Eastern Championship
Stop!
You alright, Joe? You seem a bit too calm.
Don't stop it! I haven't seen the Tiger yet.
I'm waiting for him to reveal himself,
to test the effectiveness of my special sparring.
Courage, courage, Yabuki!
Kill him, kill him, Yabuki!
In the next round, I'm going to tease him a bit.
Here I come!
Yabuki goes at him fiercely! He takes off with the bell!
Harimao strikes too wide!
Yabuki is better with his technical point of view and power.
Good, Joe! End it! Go!
Hey! Wait! You need a ticket!
You can't enter without a ticket.
Get out!
Well! This is rare, a foreign beggar!
Hey! I've seen him somewhere.
Where was it?
I can't remember...
I'm a very good at boxing...
I even confronted the champion.
What did you say?
- What are you... - What are you blabbing?
Hello.... Hello, how are you?
How are you?
It's been a long time! Me, I'm fine.
We drank sake together and the snow was beautiful!
And we went on the swings...
You are my friend...
My friend...
Hey, he's crying!
No, it's the rain!
Harimao is cornered! Yabuki is dominating the fight!
Well, Harimao? Hit me!
You're the famous wild animal of the jungle, right?
Are you missing your chocolate?
Joe, charge him! Don't let him rest!
Okay!
Alright!
Stop!
Damn! He was almost there!
He dodged it...
Dodged what?
He almost surprised me.
Watch out, soon he'll reveal his jungle strategy!
Round 3!
Hey, it's the 3rd round. Yabuki is dominating the match.
I wanted to watch Yabuki's super K.O.!
Joe!
Harimao finally reveals himself! A terrifying counter-attack!
Joe, get up!
3... 4...
Get up, Yabuki!
Hey, you're a great man. Don't cry like a girl!
Is this your "biggest chocolate bar"?
A bit too bland for me!
Stop fidgeting!
Wait you!
Stop!
Yabuki is on the ground a second time!
Will he stand back up? He's groggy! He's received a terrible shock!
Look! He's going to stand up....
What will happen?
Yabuki, get up!
Of course! He barely touched me.
Yabuki is up! Time has nearly run out!
Stop!
Yabuki, saved by the bell! End of round 3!
Mr. Tono, we already knew that Harimao was a real savage
but not this much of one!
Yes. How do I say this...
In any case... You'd have thought
this was a pro wrestling match with that last strange blow
that almost K.O.'d Yabuki. He's clearly in danger.
You alright, Joe? Can you keep going?
Are you kidding, Gramps?
We fly, we jump... It's funny.
I'm so excited that my blood is boiling.
In the next round, I'll use my "big chocolate bar" too.
Round 4!
I don't know if it'll please him
but my chocolate is very prickly and spicy.
Yabuki hasn't yet recovered from the shock earlier!
He staggers! Yabuki is in danger!
Joe!
Here I come!
He did it, Gramps!
Bravo, Yabuki!
He's turned the tables and has a K.O. at 58 sec of the 4th round!
Yabuki has marvellously put the Malaysian Tiger on the ground!
Yabuki! You'll finally face José!
Prepare yourself!
Do it with feeling.
Ready to applaud? One, two...
Thank you very much!
Impossible...
Congrats on that magnificent K.O. How do you feel?
How do I feel?
I don't want to eat chocolate anymore!
Huh, chocolate?
Carlos!
- Carlos Rivera! - What!?
Bravo. You are a very very strong man.
No doubt about it, it's Carlos!
There you are! How did you get in here?
Get out of the ring. The ceremony is about to begin!
What's going on?
He entered without a ticket. He's a freeloader!
Come on! Get down, hurry!
Hey, wait!
This is my guest. Take him to my locker room.
What!? But...
Nishi, will you do it for me?
Okay!
And so we congratulate you on your title match victory.

Joe, wait! What about all the interviews?
Carlos is waiting for me.
Meet me in the locker room!
You take care of the rest!
Idiot! Don't run after the match, you're too worn out!
Wait, Gramps...
My eyes...
What is it, Joe!?
Joe! Hold on, Joe!
It's alright. I can see now.
I'm just a little dizzy!
It's nothing.
Idiot! You scared me.
Come on, let's go. Carlos is waiting for us.
Joe! It's him!
It's really Carlos Rivera.
He doesn't even remember his own name,
but it really is The Crownless King!
Our dandy celebrity is dressed like a hobo...
but if you look closely, it's definitely him.
It's alright, Nishi. I know.
And what do you mean "if you look closely"?
I recognized my old friend Carlos right away.
Joe Yabuki...
Yes, Carlos.
You are very very strong man.
And me... A very very strong man.
What if we fought again to see which one of us is strongest?
With bare hands? Are you serious?
Fight! Fight!
Let's have fun.
I don't believe it!
His jab used to be like a flash... It wasn't like this...
He's so far gone that he doesn't even realize it.
Yes! Venezuela is a tropical country, it never snows.
Okay, Joe! Come on!
Get ready, Mr. Tropical!
Why won't you hit me?
Tell me!
Idiot, come back!
First a left straight... then a right uppercut.
Fight, Joe. Fight!
Fight. Fight, Yabuki.
That's good.
Good... Carlos...
Carlos...
Sit, Carlos.
You're covered in mud!
Did you fall or something?
Hey, Nishi, give him a new shirt. There's one in my bag.
You're all wet too. Geez!
- Joe. - Here, put this on, Carlos.
Very nice!
Joe, do you think it suits me?
Yes, wonderful! Perfect!
You were always so fashionable.
Don't look!
Get out of here! There's no girls allowed!
I'll entrust him to you tonight but tomorrow
the Shiraki gym will take care of Carlos Rivera.
I won't let you! It's me that Carlos wanted to see!
I'll provide everything he needs. It's my duty.
How is it your duty?
- Tell me. - Joe!
What? What is it, Carlos?
It's just a button.
I'll help you, okay?
Carlos is suffering...
He's suffering from the damage received from too many punches
like so many other boxers.
He has the typical symptoms of punch-drunk syndrome.
Luckily, I know an expert on the punch-drunk syndrome:
Dr. Kininski from the University of Hawaii.
If he examined Carlos,
there could still be hope for his recovery.
Not just for Carlos but for all boxers suffering from it.
Shut up! Don't get involved! What do you want from it?
Wait, Carlos. I told you I'd do it.
Hey, move your head so I can see!
- Nishi. - Yes?
Can you please button Carlos?
Okay.
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
