The eight stars that reside in the sky...
...that can be seen only by those who possess true strength...
He set out on a journey in search of these stars.
They call him a...
...Virtua Fighter!
One close look at you...
...my destiny shouts at me.
In the bustling city, the energy comes alive.
Don't turn away, accept it.
Throw away the faded map.
And laugh, be carefree and positive.
Toss a coin, tempt fate...
Get the whole world involved.
Lured in by the stars...
Set out towards the unknowns of tomorrow.
With only your smile to depend on...
That's right, Hot Wild Vision, my heart flies.
No matter how far the sky may be.
Knock Wild Vision, and exalt you...
...until the day I can hold you in my arms.
In a corner of Chinatown, Akira and Pai met a boy, Wei, who was being bullied.
Koenkan captured Wei and held him hostage to lure Pai out.
Akira and Pai found themselves in a difficult situation.
But Wei's desperate cries saved the day...
...and Akira crushed his enemy, Tiger.
Brought to their senses by Wei's cries...
...the bullies came to see the errors of their ways.
Sibling Martial Art Team
Wow...
He's so cool.
Akira is always acting goofy...
...but he practices real hard when no one's watching.
Uh-huh.
Strong people really are different.
Uh-huh.
I don't know about that.
Pai.
He's probably exercising to help his digestion...
...because he had big breakfast this morning.
Pops, two bowls of noodles, please.
You know I can't make anymore, tell them we're sold out!
Yes, sir!
I wonder how long this is going to last...
I can't take it anymore!
Smile, smile, Smile Steak.
Jacky eats Smile Steak, too!
Full of protein, Smile Steak!
You can be an Indy car racer too!
Smile Steak, with branches nationwide, is finally coming to the Westside!
In celebration of this grand opening, we're having a steak eating contest!
So you big eaters, come on over!
Wow, he doesn't seem to be bothered by the noise at all.
It's steak for lunch!
See?
Oops.
Guess you're hungry too, Pai?
So this is the master's daughter...
You Koenkan and that guy Yan from Hong Kong can't even catch a girl.
You should be ashamed of yourselves.
Well, I'll let you know if I see her around.
Oh, by the way...
Tell your boss Big Sam sends his regards.
We should quit this job.
I know they're our sponsors, but making you dress like that...
Don't be silly, after all that we went through to find a sponsor.
You want to race, right?
Of course, but...
Don't worry Jacky...
I'll be just fine.
It's your dream, isn't it?
Sarah...
Jacky, Sarah!
What's taking you guys so long?
We can't start without the guests of honor.
Jacky.
Yes, yes.
I'm sorry I took so long.
Will you please move out of the way?
I thought you wanted to get this thing started right away.
What's that look for?
You'd better watch your attitude, I'm your sponsor.
What the...
No, Alexander.
Alexander?
Yes, this is Alexander the flying squirrel.
He's my friend.
Come now, apologize to our sponsor.
Thank you very much for waiting.
We will now begin Smile Steak's opening celebration steak eating contest!
All right!
Shut up, will you?
Oh, I'm sorry...
Oh?
Have I met you somewhere?
N-No, I don't know you.
Oh really?
You look like a friend of mine...
She's cute, quiet, refined, and...
Really?
Actually, just the opposite, she's a total loud mouth.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have special guests!
Our American hero, who Smile Steak is proud to sponsor, Indy car racer...
...Jacky Bryant!
Wow, he's so cool!
And also with us today is Jacky's sister.
American beauty, race queen...
...Sarah Bryant!
What, you found Pai Chan?
Yes, sir!
Thank you for letting me know.
It seems that Pai Chan is hiding at Restaurant Manpuku after all.
Make sure you get her this time.
Yes, sir!
Let's play fair, okay?
Just because it's free doesn't mean it's okay to make pigs of ourselves.
Quit acting as if we're friends, I don't know you.
Oh...
Well, here goes!
The time has finally come.
Are you all ready?
You have thirty minutes.
To the glory of victory...
Ready, get set...
Go!
K-Koenkan!
What the hell do you think you're doing?
Outta the way!
Why you!
Why don't we stop keeping secrets, Boss?
See, we know that Pai Chan is here.
Why don't you just hand her over?
Y-You jerks!
It's useless.
It's totally ridiculous to even consider going against the Koenkan.
Shoot!
What's with him?
This is quite something...
Any comments, Jacky?
What kind of stomach does this guy have, anyway?
I understand your amazement.
How about you, Sarah?
Hello?
Wow...
Where's she?
Find her!
Never mind what happens to this shop.
Find Pai Chan even if you have to break the floor apart!
What should we do?
What can we do?
We've got to go get help!
Get help from whom?
Everybody's afraid of the Koenkan.
Akira's not.
We'll tell Akira.
I'm sure he'll help us!
Right!
Let's go!
We're coming into the final moments of the steak eating contest!
Five!
Four!
Three!
Two!
One!
Time's up!
What's with his stomach?
As you can see, the outcome is obvious...
The winner is the contestant number four!
All right!
Congratulations, and your name is?
Akira Yuki.
It was worth coming all the way here from Japan.
Tell us how you feel.
Terrific!
Who is that guy?
Wow!
Alexander!
I-I can't see...
Sarah!
Excuse me...
Excuse me, but your hand...
I-I'm so sorry!
No, it's all right, it's not your fault.
Akira!
Pervert!
You jerk!
Hey, cut it out!
Stop it!
You are so...
Stop!
What did you do that for?
Sarah might get hurt!
What's with you?
She is...
It's all your fault!
Jacky!
Oh jeez...
Shut up!
What did I do?
Oh wow...
My heart's pounding...
What on earth is going on?
We're still not done with the awards, young lady...
Since you're the only girl contestant...
...we'd like to present you with a special award...
Special award?
Yes...
Hold it right there!
Why do you keep coming after me!
Shut up!
Ouch!
What's your problem?
Shut up!
I won't let anybody lay a hand on my sister!
I didn't meant to...
But her breasts are...
I touched them just a little...
Just a little is more than enough!
So, you do martial arts, huh?
Let's cut this out already.
You're just playing dumb to throw me off, right?
Well, that's...
Okay!
If that's the way you want it, I'll take you on.
How's that!
This is Jeet Kune Do!
Jeet Kune Do?
That's right, the combat technique devised by Bruce Lee.
Huh, Bruce Lee's technique...
C'mon.
I'm ready.
So, you've finally decided to fight.
Nah, changed my mind.
H-Hey you!
I have no reason to fight you.
You call yourself a man?
What did you just say, Boss?
Sarah!
Keep your voice down!
What did that girl do?
She's a wanted criminal.
But...
You don't believe your sponsor?
What's the problem, Boss?
Hey, what's the matter, Pai?
How come the restaurant owner is taking you?
Oh I get it!
Since I won the contest, you had to pay, but you didn't have the money!
She's obviously not agreeing with you.
What is it then?
What, the owner is...
...sent by Yan?
Which means, you are...
...from the Koenkan!
Jacky, get him!
Huh?
That guy's her accomplice, they're both wanted!
Wanted?
If you hand him over to the police, you'll be an instant hero.
It'll make it easier for us to support you.
Come on, get him!
I order you, as your sponsor!
I see...
I thought there was something fishy about him.
Really?
I won't hold back this time.
Jacky!
Somersault kick!
A somersault kick requires quick movements of the legs and hips...
...combined with a keen awareness of the opponent's movements.
Only someone with a high level of Jeet Kune Do can use this technique.
Got you.
You've got some guts...
Here goes!
You're pretty good.
My compliments.
I don't need your compliments.
I'm not doing this by choice.
What was that?
Hey, are you enjoying yourself doing this?
Fighting for money, or because somebody tells you to...
Fighting shouldn't be like that.
If we're going to fight, we might as well have fun.
I have a feeling that I can have that sort of match with you.
Y-You...
What's taking so long, Jacky?
Get him!
I'm your sponsor!
Don't you want to be in the race?
Huh?
Shut up!
I'll finish him in a second, just watch me!
So you see...
We probably could have that kind of dream match.
But...
...the Indy car race is an even more important dream for me!
Jacky...
Boss!
I've got what I need.
Hey, you guys, move it!
Kim, Wei, Chin!
Akira, big trouble!
The Koenkan are at Restaurant Manpuku!
It's Pai!
Hey, stay in there!
The Koenkan?
Pai!
The real villains are the Koenkan!
That's right, the Koenkan are the bad guys!
And he's one of them!
Shut up!
Without you, I don't get a promotion!
Sarah!
Just because he's our sponsor...
...we can't let him off knowing he's a villain!
He's my enemy!
I suppose your sister practices Jeet Kune Do, too.
Yes, and she's pretty strong...
I can tell.
Hey you!
I was going to beat that guy!
Huh?
I was supposed to be in the spot light.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Is everybody okay?
Akira.
We gotta get to Manpuku!
Let's go, Pai!
Okay!
Alexander!
Let's go after them!
I want you to know the most beautiful me.
I love only you.
Rain in the city, like a water color painting...
As though you can see through my wet T-shirt straight into my heart.
I gave you a vague reply.
But I want to hear it from your lips...
How to love...
...and how to be loved.
Awaken me with your kiss.
So I can change while living in a dream.
The Next Episode
Hi there, I'm Akira.
The Koenkan finally raided Restaurant Manpuku.
My free meals and Restaurant Manpuku are completely destroyed.
I won't forgive those who cause trouble to good people like Pops!
The next episode of Virtua Fighter, "Showdown in Chinatown."
Yan, a heathen like you is not worthy of calling himself a man of the martial arts!
