He thrusts up his fists!
He's appealing to the hall to follow him!
He's declaring a KO!
He's gonna finish it in the next round!
The belt is within reach!
Th-The cheering is so loud.
He really knows how to raise our spirits!
My body is feeling the excitement.
It's so electrifying.
You're going to finish it?
You've established a good rhythm, so that's a good way to go.
Do it!
The challenger dashes in!
He's running straight toward the Championship Belt!
I'm having a tough time.
I've never had such a hard time...
but...
that's only in the ring!
Wow! The champion dashes in too!
Rush! Rush! Rush!
A vengeful retaliation!
I've been in pinches many times in my hometown!
Every man who has pointed a gun at me, confident of victory, had a grin on his face.
But...
I always survived!
Compared to those pinches, being in the ring, protected by the ropes,
makes me yawn, Jap!
Don't flinch, Takamura!
You can finish it with your current rhythm!
Wow! Now the challenger takes a swing!
A hard punch to stop the rush!
Not bad, he's still fighting back after taking so many of my punches!
But...
it ends here!
I'll end the match this round!
This round!
And he rushes!
He's gonna do it!
Yeah, keep going!
H-He can do it!
He can win!
There is one thing I don't understand.
After watching them for 4 rounds, their stamina is roughly equal.
They're like two machines with the same type of engine.
Why, then, does he get knocked back?
Wait!
The champion avoided standing close to the ropes!
But he can't get away!
This round!
I'm gonna finish it this round!
Uppercut!
It connected!
He follows up with a left!
This round, no matter what!
Hawk!
Whoa! It's the champion's body blow!
It's the first body of the match for him!
He's not flinching! Still charging forward!
You can't break through Takamura's well-built abs with one shot!
Takamura-san! You're the champion!
Finish him off!
The champion fortifies his guard!
It's an all-out defense!
The challenger still hits and punches over it!
It's a flaming hot rush by the challenger!
Go down!
Go down, damn it!
Go down! Go down!
Go down!
Stop!
The referee broke in!
He stopped it!
D-Did it end?
Wow, the gong is already ringing!
The deafening roar hid the sound!
The champion survived the round!
The declared KO didn't happen, but it was completely the challenger's round!
High hopes still remain for the next round!
Yeah?
The gong was already ringing?
I guess I couldn't do much else.
Oh well.
You've been injured quite badly.
I've never seen you get hit so much.
He does have good punches.
That challenger is strong.
And it's no wonder.
I see it clearly now.
Yeah, me too.
That was close!
But you did great!
It will carry on to the next round!
Keep up with your current pace!
Old Man—
Don't talk!
Rest up and save your energy!
Let me wipe the sweat.
Taka... mura...
Now you see.
What a foolish second.
He's finally realized the abnormality of his fighter.
Yes, we both had the same machines loaded.
But for some reason, he was getting ahead.
The answer is simple.
One of them was driving at full speed, not worrying about the full race.
What's the matter?
No sweat is coming out after I wipe the sweat on the surface.
He's not sweating at all!
I thought I'd give everything while I could.
But now I'm empty.
Totally empty.
Ever since the weight control days, I've always known
that I can move around normally for five rounds at most.
Don't talk!
Yagi-chan, water!
Pour all we got on his head!
Yes!
His face clearly showed pain right after the body blow.
It was so clear.
Without a doubt, he's out of fuel.
Seconds out!
I'll torture him to death!
Takamura...
"Use spirit when you run out of energy!"
Isn't that what you always say?
Well, it'll work out.
Now, here we are at the sixth round.
Will the throne change owners?
The crowd is expecting the best now.
They want to see a fierce attack by the Japanese hawk just like the fifth round.
They want to see a KO!
Wow! The champion's attack shatters the crowd's expectations!
The flow is completely different now!
It's completely the champion's pace!
The challenger is stuck against the ropes!
He was a good boxer.
Perhaps I could have made him the world champ.
But he will be broken by Hawk and the chance will never come back to him.
It's all because of his incompetent second.
I'm sorry, Takamura!
It's all my fault!
Don't use excuses like, "If I didn't have to go through weight loss."
You know the rules of a street fight, don't you?!
No matter what happens,
no matter what you do,
whoever is standing at the end...
is stronger!
A-A down!
What a turn around!
The challenger, expected to produce a KO, has gone down instead!
See that, Japs?!
And the champion thrusts his fists!
He repeats the challenger's earlier performance!
But the challenger is getting up!
He hasn't given up! He's standing up!
His appearance is painfully different from earlier.
His right eye is swollen shut and his face is covered in blood.
But his instinct as a boxer refuses the count of ten!
Takamura-san!
It's the weight loss...
If he wasn't suffering from weight loss...
This wouldn't happen if Takamura-san was in his best condition!
Did he say it was hard?
Did that man ever mention that it was hard during the weight loss?
I'm sure that he knew that he could only last five rounds.
That's why he thrust his fists up, gathering the spirit for himself, before heading out.
He is also aware how much people are expecting out of him.
Even when his pride was disgraced,
he supressed his emotion,
kept his silence and never let out any complaints,
and built a body that can only fight a finite limit of five rounds.
As a boxer like him,
no- as a man like him, could you do the same thing?
It makes me cry.
When I see the back of such a noble man, it really makes me cry!
Takamura-san!
The match resumes.
The champion approaches slowly.
What can I do, even if I get up?
What can I do in this condition?
Even when I'm like this, I'm sure everyone's expecting a lot from me.
Man, being a superstar sure isn't easy.
As long as I can move even a finger, I'll put up a fight.
The tension rises as the distance between the two diminishes.
The whole crowd goes quiet!
Ryogoku Kokugikan is now filled with silence!
You've gone totally quiet.
Just sit and watch, Japs.
It's showtime!
What's this?
Even a fly can land on it!
His right eye is swollen shut, so he can't see Hawk's left.
This is bad.
He keeps taking hits.
The ref might stop the match now.
Maybe it's better if he does.
Junior middleweight punches can easily end
a man's life.
Miyata...
I guess he's been around Takamura the longest of us all.
His knees are now bent!
He can't endure the champion's fierce attack!
Will he go down?
No, he fights back!
But it strikes air!
Seems like Mamoru's having a hard time.
Suguru-niisan!
Let's just wish that he will make it out of the ring without permanent injuries.
The post I prepared for him at the company will go to waste otherwise.
But Mamoru-niisan is still fighting!
The result is obvious, even for non-fans.
Worry about his well-being if you are his brother.
You never know who will win until the end!
Mamoru-chan...
The champion's incredible power
builds up the damage even over the guard!
The fire is lit.
His burning spirit will not quiet down now.
Takamura will be abused...
until Hawk reaches his ecstasy.
What are you looking at, Gramps?!
He's already unconscious!
Any more will...
Stop! You'll kill him!
You'll really kill him!
Don't stop me!
I don't care what happens to him!
I'm so hot!
I'm...
I'm so hot it's like I'm on fire!
To cool down, I need to keep punching a man or have sex with a bitch.
Give me money if you wanna stop me!
Get me a bitch, Gramps!
Those are not the eyes of a human.
I've dealt with boxers for a long time, but I've never seen anyone with such crazy eyes.
So hot!
I'm so hot!
What will happen?
What will happen if I let this man get in the ring?
I want to see it!
I want to see his future.
Let me show you something then.
There you can punch living men all you want.
It's where you'll be forgiven even if you kill a man because of some unfortunate incident.
Yeah?
You gonna give me a license to kill?!
Come with me.
Yes, he thinks it's allowed.
And until he's cooled down, he will continue to punch the man even if the man dies first.
The second in the other corner... Kamogawa, was it?
The last thing an incompetent second can do... is stop the match.
Now, throw in the towel.
The challenger's now a punching bag!
Takamura!
Yes! Throw in that towel!
Stop the match for him!
Why won't you?!
Can't you even save your own boxer?
Do you want to keep demonstrating how foolish you are?
Takamura!
I just feel super comfortable being in the ring.
I want to be honest when it comes to boxing.
You are always arrogant, but you are always serious once in the ring.
You were never conceited, practiced, and always fought bravely.
I love how you fight!
I want to watch more.
I don't want to be the one to stop you!
I-It's so hard.
I can't take this anymore.
I never knew that there could be anyone stronger than me.
What a surprise.
You're really strong.
I admit it.
You lasted long enough.
You entertained me enough.
I'm about to cum.
And now...
Go to hell!
A right!
The challenger's blown away!
It's... over...
Huh?
Something's against my back?
But he's not going down!
He's leaning against the ropes!
What are you doing?!
Why are you so quiet now, of all times?
What pathetic gymmates!
Miyata-kun!
Shut up!
We're waiting for him to fight back!
We don't think there's even a chance of him losing!
Takamura-san! Come on!
Be bold like always!
Yeah...
Don't make us worry!
Come on, damn it!
Takamura-san! Fight!
We are boxers, too.
I know how much pain you're in!
How hard it is!
But still, don't lose!
Fight!
You mustn't lose!
We came with you after you showed us your strength that day.
Without you, I wouldn't be standing here now.
Takamura-san, you are my...
You're our...
hero!
So don't lose!
You mustn't!
I don't want to see you lose!
Fight on!
Please win!
People don't like it if you're too pesky!
Cum with me!
I see it...
I see it very well.
What is...
supporting me!
There are men who believe in me.
I must stay strong in their presence.
Losing isn't allowed!
Even if my heart stops, my spirit will keep fighting!
Even if the spirit disappears,
I'll drag myself out of the coffin,
and beat you!
An unexpected one-two from the near-dead challenger!
And they're direct hits!
Didn't that do any good?
Don't Takamura-san's punches have any strength anymore?
That was damaging!
The champion buckles!
Retaliation was unthinkable at this point.
He took the hits with no preparation!
No way!
He's barely standing!
How can he land living punches?!
Wow, the champion steps back to a safe distance!
The flow changed!
That's good, Takamura!
It's your chance!
Go! Go!
Kill him!
He can't pursue!
The damage on the challenger is huge too!
And there's the gong!
That's the end of the sixth round!
Wow, the challenger mistook his own corner.
No wonder.
He endured the champion's full swings so much,
and used up all of his stamina...
Takamura! This way!
I'm sure both his mind and vision are a mess right now.
But still...
Did you see that, his face?
Yeah.
He's all messed up.
He's half dead!
So why does he still struggle?!
And flounder?!
I was just feeling good...
I was so close to cumming!
Pain in the ass.
It's all a pain in the ass.
Hawk!
I'm done with this match.
I'll end it now.
I'll go have sex, and that's when I'll feel good.
Miguel,
you remember the license to kill you gave me?
I'm gonna use it in the next round.
I'll kill him!
Good job staying on your feet!
Good job fighting back!
Good job hanging in there!
He's been beaten so badly, and yet he's still fighting nobly.
All I can do is watch.
I'm upset at how incompetent I am!
I'm sorry...
I'm sorry, Takamura!
I-I'd been down.
I-It was so hard...
Really...
Takamura...
I couldn't stay up without your support.
So, you've been supporting me the whole time.
I see it very well.
Seconds out!
Now...
Take the mouth piece.
You are...
the best second ever.
Well...
here I go.
Takamura...
