The second round of the finals of the Monaco Cup.
The clash of Kawachi’s Victory and Shachihoko’a Alexandria.
It’s done!
This is my masterpiece, made with kodaimai-miso!
Alexandria!
Oh! What did you just say?!
Your name was Conan, right?
I’m talking about you.
I’m saying that Conan was singing his own praises.
Huh?
Conan was singing his own praises...
Conan temaemiso.
Conan temaemiso! Conan temaemiso!
Co...
Kodaimai-miso!
And, Pierrot risked his life on this high-level offense and defense.
This is my revolutionary dinner bread.
This is Victory!
Well then, let’s dig in mambo.
It isn’t just some stupid story.
It’s the story of Libya and me.
The story of Libya and me.
Libya and me.
Libya and me?
Libya and me.
Boku to Libya.
It’s Victory!
Congratulations, Kawachi.
You’ve won.
It’s your victory.
Despite injuries, the results of the match were released, and Kawachi won.
Pierrot!
I-It was delicious.
The bread of your father’s dreams.
I... I also... want to meet... my father...
But, Pierrot was carried to the hospital.
Father!
There’s English bread, German bread, and French bread,
but Japan’s bread, Japan, does not exist.
In that case, there’s no choice but to create it.
This story is a serious, biographical ballad of a boy who possesses Solar Hands,
Azuma Kazuma, who will create a Japanese bread made by and for the Japanese people,
which can be presented to the world proudly.
I swore to your shining eyes
kagayaku kimi no hitomi ni chikatta
Yakitate!! Japan

on an afternoon when the blue sky
chiisana mado kara aozora ga mieta gogo
was visible through a small window
that I no longer wanted to run away.
nigeru koto nante mou shitaku wa nai yo

I feel a warm hand upon my back.

The only thing more painful than getting hurt is...

giving up on tomorrow and continuing to lie to yourself.

The one precious dream always held in your heart

Let’s believe it, protect it, and overcome everything.

Because we have a precious dream, we can become stronger

Reunion at the VIP seat!!
Heaven again!
Reunion at the VIP seat!!
Heaven again!
No!
Please stop that!
It’s all right.
Please stop that.
Pierrot-san.
Vitals falling.
Heart and pulse rates dropping.
Pierrot-san!
We’re losing him!
Hang in there, Pierrot-san!
Pierrot...
This is an emergency broadcast.
We just received information from the Monaco Royal Hospital that
Mr. Pierrot, who is presently in critical condition,
has been confirmed to have the Bombay blood type,
which only a few hundred people in the world have.
C-Critical condition?
If there is someone here with the same blood type, Bombay blood, please step forward.
Bombay blood?
It... It can’t be!
What is the Bombay blood type?
In addition to the commonly known blood types of A, B, AB and O,
there are many other different blood types.
Even amongst those,
Bombay blood is a very rare blood type, found in only 1 in 10 million people.
It has a characteristic that makes it very different from other blood types.
What?
What’s so different about it?
People with Bombay blood can’t receive transfusions from any other blood types.
So, if there isn’t anybody here with Bombay blood,
Pierrot-san will...
It... It can’t be...
I’ll look for it!
It’s impossible.
If there’s only a few hundred people in the world with this blood type,
we couldn’t possibly...
You’re going to give up, Kawachi?!
Th-That’s right.
I have a tendency to give up when things go bad.
I won’t give up as easily anymore.
It was only after promising myself this that I was able to create Victory.
Tsukino! Kanmuri!
The two of you, try searching in the tournament hall.
Very well.
It would be my pleasure.
Azuma!
You and I will go around Monaco in search of it!
A-All right!
We’ll help, too.
Manager...
Me, too!
Shachihoko!
Ryou, we should go, too.
Yeah, we should.
All right! Me, too!
I’ll come, too.
Everyone...
All right!
No matter what, we’ll definitely find us some Bombay blood–
That is not necessary.
Your Majesty.
What do you mean, it’s not necessary?!
If you need someone with Bombay blood,
then he is right here!
Get the car ready!
Yes, sir!
Is that for real?
The King of Monaco has Bombay blood?
What’s eating you, Ryou?
You can’t be born with Bombay blood unless both your parents carry the same gene.
They’re usually born in places with a custom of close relatives marrying each other.
In most countries, royalty tend to marry close relatives, right?
Wait a minute.
Then, Pierrot is...?
Yeah.
The King of Monaco and Pierrot may be blood relatives.
Eh?!
Monaco Royal Hospital
Hey! Do we still not have the blood?!
It’s supposed to be coming within the next five minutes.
Pulse?
He’s in a pretty critical state.
In the end... You never came for me.
Father... Mother...
You abandoned me in the tent of the Quedam Circus.
I believed that if I simply became famous, you’d come to get me.
So, I worked hard... and worked some more... and became a world-level clown.
But, it was all in vain.
You never planned on looking for me from the very beginning.
You’re so cruel... Father... Mother...
Th... This is...?
Welcome!
Welcome to Cabaret Club Heaven!
One table, coming right up!
No way!
You lost your life over the judging of a bread...?
Yeah.
I’m a clown, after all...
But, I must seem really stupid, right?
That’s not true!
Because...
The man I loved before was an idiot who came here while judging bread, too.
What are you talking about?
Sorry for the wait.
I didn’t order this.
The customer over there sent it over.
Yo, Pierrot-kun.
Your Majesty!
Why are you here?
Well, it doesn’t really matter, does it?
More importantly, wouldn’t you like to sit next to me?
By the way, Pierrot-kun...
From what I hear, you were abandoned by your parents?
How many years ago did this happen?
Umm... Well, I’m almost 23, so...
It happened about 23 years ago.
23 years ago?!
23 years ago...
And he has Bombay blood, like me...
There’s no mistake about it.
Why didn’t I notice until now?
Your Majesty...
Your Majesty!
Is something the matter?
J-Just talking possibilities here...
But, what would you do if your parents were next to you right now?
Eh?
I can hug him right away.
Because I am...
I don’t really care anymore.
I no longer want to meet people like that, even one tiny bit.
I mean, don’t you think so, too?
Right now, I’m the most famous clown in the world.
If they regretted abandoning me even a little, they would’ve found me a long time ago.
Don’t you think so as well, Your Majesty?
That’s not true.
Huh?
Uh... no.
Your parents may have had circumstances that prevented them...
Circumstances?!
If they did, then I’d really like an explanation of it.
Well...
Well, I don’t really think there are any circumstances
that an abandoned child could comprehend.
It was a mistake.
Huh?
It may be that something unfortunate happened outside of your parents’ control.
You’re acting strange, Your Majesty.
You’re speaking almost as though you know my parents.
Well, I am your...
Oh, I see.
It’s all right, Your Majesty.
You’re trying to comfort me, right?
No, that’s not it.
Please don’t worry.
I no longer want people who’ve abandoned their child to come for me anymore.
I wonder if he’s all right...?
It’s been quite a while since the operation began.
We have trouble!
What’s wrong?
His Majesty is ignoring the doctor’s advice,
and has ordered for an unreasonable amount of blood to be transfused.
Now, even the king is in critical condition!
It looks like we can now be certain about it.
You mean that the king’s father is Pierrot, right?
No, it’s the other way around!
But, isn’t it too early to come to that conclusion?
Where would you find someone noble enough to be willing to donate so much blood,
risking his own life for a complete stranger?
I think we can conclude that the same thing came into the king’s mind.
As expected of you, Kuroyanagi-san.
Brilliant deductive work.
It’s the old man!
Pharaoh!
Why are you here?
We’re the Monaco Secret Police.
If something were to happen to the king, we would be informed immediately.
So... Why do you say that it’s brilliant deductive work?
As Kuroyanagi-san deduced, the King of Monaco has a son.
I believe I’ve already mentioned this to you.
The Monaco Royal Family has an unusual tradition.
According to the Royal Family Code, Article XIV:
“As the lion does with its cub, the Child must be dropped into a valley 1000 fathoms...”
W-Wait a moment.
Your stories usually tend to be long.
So, get to the point, will you?
Very well.
In other words...
In order for children of the Royal Family to learn of the hardships of the citizens,
they are raised within a common middle-class household.
But... 23 years ago...
You want to end the practice?!
Yes.
I have decided.
What are you saying?!
You cannot change a tradition that has continued for so many hundreds of years so easily.
It’s certain that other Royal Family members will protest.
I am sure they will.
In that case...
From this day forth, I no longer have a child!
My newborn son, Prince Leol.
I will have him raised with a regular family immediately.
W-What are you saying?!
Listen, Pharaoh.
In accordance with the tradition, I was sent to a baker’s home at age eight.
It was lonely and sad.
I cried every day.
A child brought up as the prince is suddenly separated from his parents,
and lives as the child of a common citizen.
That change in environment is nothing but terrifying,
and merely leads to the warping of one’s personality.
B-But...
Back then, the only reason I was able to conquer that fate was
because of a chance meeting with a baker, Kirisaki.
In other words...
We might as well raise him as a child of the masses from the very start.
I believe that learning that he is a Prince later in life would then save this child.
Your Majesty...
And so...
The newborn Prince Leol was given into the care of the chosen middle-class family.
But...
W-We have trouble!
That family has taken the money given to them and disappeared with the prince!
At that time, thanks to our investigation, we discovered the couple,
and we found that they committed suicide outside the country after their escape failed.
But Prince Leol was nowhere to be found.
We thought that Prince Leol had been murdered during their escape.
Then...
Based on his age and his blood type, we believe that there is no mistake about it.
Pierrot-sama is Prince Leol...
The person to become the next King of Monaco, Leonhart XV!
I see.
Pierrot-san has had a really hard life.
Exactly! Right? Right?
No! Stop that!
Really. That damn old man and old hag...
I won’t forgive them, no matter what!
If they have the cheek to show up, I’ll multiply and beat ’em up.
I am sorry.
Why are you apologizing so much, Your Majesty?
We’re dead now, aren’t we?
So, let’s just drink up.
Come to think of it, why did you die?
I will not let you die.
I will not...
I absolutely will not allow you to die!
Leol!
You must live!
Huh? L-Leol?
That is correct.
Your name is Leol.
You were born as the Prince of Monaco.
You are the man to become Leonhart XV.
And...
You are my son!
Pokaan
Note: “Pokaan” is the sound effect you hear in the background.
Doctor, it’s no use!
The king is holding it with amazing strength!
We can’t get the transfusion needle out!
The fool!
If humans lose more than half their blood, they die!
Stop the blood pump!
Well...
The break-off switch is broken.
We can’t turn off the pump!
How can this be?!
You’re telling me that the king’s wish to save this young man is that strong?
Um... Excuse me...
Even kings joke around, huh?
I just sobered up.
I am not joking!
No! It has to be a joke!
You can’t make such horrible jokes just because you’re dead, Your Majesty!
Kings do not joke.
Leol...
Right now, my blood is flowing into your body.
This blood is Bombay blood, only found among a few hundred people in the world.
And, people with Bombay blood cannot receive anything other than Bombay blood.
My blood type is Bombay blood... The same as Your Majesty’s?
T-Then...
Could it be that the reason you’re here is that you’re transfusing blood to me?
This person is... my father?!
No way! It can’t be!
Right now... This person holding me tightly...
He’s holding me so tight that I can hear his heartbeat.
This person is...
His heartbeat is growing weak.
Your Majesty!
I am sorry.
It seems that the time for us to part has come.
Huh?
P-Part?
What lies ahead of death?
This is where your living or dying is decided.
In other words, it’s the entrance way to the other world.
A place for those on the verge of death to socialize.
Cabaret Club Heaven.
Huh?
It seems that you will not die.
But, His Majesty will die.
Th-That can’t be!
I am happy.
Huh?
My blood protected you... My son.
In the very end... I was able to do something fatherly.
Goodbye, Pierrot-san.
Wait!
We still haven’t...
I can’t move my legs!
I’m disappearing!
My body is...
My voice won’t come out anymore.
Your Majesty!
No! Your Majesty!
Wait!
I still...
I finally... I finally met you!
I’ve been waiting for this moment for...
If you become that great of a performer, I’m sure that your parents will come to get you.
Really?
I’ve been dreaming of this moment...
I’ve worked hard for such long time, for this very day...
There’s so many... so many things I want to tell you!
I absolutely don’t want this!
Wait!
Please wait!
Wait!
Fa... ther...
L-Leol!
The King of Monaco... is dead.
I bet that Pierrot’s depressed.
We’ve come here to cheer him up,
but I don’t really know what to say to him.
If he’s hung up over the past and sulking around,
then I’ll beat him into shape.
I hear voices from that room.
What is this uproar?!
Oh, look who’s here.
It’s the Japanese representatives.
Thank you for coming!
I’ve been suddenly promoted big time!
I’m Pierrot, ringmaster of Quedam, and a king with a criminal record.
So, come celebrate with us!
Pierrot...
It’s so painful that I can’t watch.
Pierrot, stop with the fake show of courage.
Your Majesty!
Come this way, quickly.
Let’s drink together.
Party over.
Huh?
You probably won’t believe me, but...
I...
spoke to my father in heaven.
At first, I didn’t know that he was my father,
and I castigated him.
I didn’t even know that he was risking his life to save me.
However...
I tried to apologize.
But by then my body had begun to disappear.
That may be, but nothing will come of your drowning yourself in alcohol.
I know that!
I know that, but... I...
I can no longer meet Father!
It’s not like you can no longer meet him.
Huh?
I’ll help you meet him.
Huh?
In the past, Old Man Kuroyanagi has gone to heaven after eating my bread.
Oh yeah!
Japan #44 might be able to take Pierrot to heaven once again!
No, that’s impossible.
Huh?
Well, I don’t have the petalite I need to make #44.
Then, what’ll you do?
That’s easy.
All I have to do is make an even more amazing bread!
boku no te wo nigire issho ni minaikai
Grab on to my hand. Would you like to see it together?
kesshiteraku janai ga saikou no sekai
By no means is it easy, but it’s the best kind of world.
souzoushite mitanda jibun de egaita rakugaki no
I tried imagining it by standing on my future map
mirai no chizu ni tatte soshite kimi to waraerukatte
which I had doodled out,
and wondered if you’d be laughing with me there.
kentou wa tsuitenda ashiato darake no michi wo
I’ve guessed it. That if I were to just follow along
tada aruiterunja itsumademo tadoritsukeyashinainda
this road already full of footprints, I’d never ever reach there.
sore ga iyada to iu nara
And if I don’t like that...
heion nante antai wa kono sai yamemashouka
I guess I should take this opportunity
and stop seeking the peace that comes with security.
kanawanaitte akirameta yume wo sutezu tsumiagete
I’ll pile up the dreams I thought couldn’t be fulfilled
without throwing them away
mucha de mubou na teppen ni aru
and become the foundation stone for the dream
yume wo tsukamu ishizue ni nare
that stands at the peak of the absurd and the reckless.
boku no te wo nigire issho ni minaikai
Grab on to my hand. Would you like to see it together?
kesshiteraku janai ga saikou no sekai
By no means is it easy, but it’s the best kind of world.
kesshiteraku janai ga saikou no sekai
By no means is it easy, but it’s the best kind of world.

Blood types are classified under the categories of A, O, B, and AB.
My father and I have Bombay Blood.
It's an extremely unusual blood type, labeled as a "Rare Blood."
EHHHH!?!
