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.
Akira, Pai, and Jacky made it to Durricks research lab...
...to save Sarah who was kidnapped.
Eva set them up in a battle against her robots, so...
...she could observe them and collect data on their techniques.
The three somehow managed to destroy all the robots.
But Sarah had already been moved to another location.
Akira and his friends fell into Eva's trap once again, and were arrested.
Pai the Dreamer
I can't believe I'm spending my youth being chased and getting caught.
Stop it.
I can't believe I'm being comforted by a flying squirrel.
Sarah...
I can't bear to think what they are doing to you as I sit here in this cell...
...all I want is to come save you.
I'm so full.
You jerk!
How could you think of...
What's all the ruckus?
It's breakfast.
What's that look for?
M-Maybe you'll just have to skip breakfast.
I don't have time for a leisurely breakfast.
Hurry up and let me out of here!
Jacky, cut it out!
What?
You'll...
Look what you've done!
What?
Our breakfast is ruined!
Jerk!
Who cares?
You called me jerk?
What was that?
You jerks!
Let me out of here!
Breakfast, my breakfast!
Breakfast!
Let me out of here!
Pai Chan was arrested by the authorities in Salt Lake?
To use such drastic measures...
But why are they in Salt Lake?
Gates, don't concern yourself with these things.
I've told you before, haven't I?
I'll leave matters to you.
You're too naive, Vice Chairman Ryu.
If I was the kind of man who would blindly take orders from you...
...I wouldn't be sitting in this chair.
Something is in Salt Lake...
Maybe that's where his weakness is.
Then...
...if I can figure that out, I may be able to...
What, you're letting us out of here?
Durricks research lab dropped the charges.
So you're free to go...
...except Jacky, that is.
Why can't he leave?
Jacky's done something wrong?
Shoot!
Why do I have to stay here!
Let me out of here!
Poor Jacky.
He brought it on himself.
I wonder why they dropped the charges.
Maybe because they don't want the cops sniffing around.
Anyway, what should we do?
We need to come up with bail, right?
We need money, huh?
We don't have a choice.
We'll have to use our bodies.
What?
We'll give the shirts off our backs to help Jacky!
But...
...even if it is for Jacky...
I can't believe this is how I'm spending...
...the carefree years of my youth!
This is what you meant by using our bodies?
Did you say something?
Is it normal for a girl to do this?
Somebody help!
Hold it!
You can't get away from us!
Stay away!
Hold it!
What do you think you're doing, two big men going after one woman!
I don't care what she did, it's not acceptable!
No, you see...
No excuses!
Why you...
Wait a second lady, listen...
If you've got a problem, I'll take you on!
Come on!
S-Stop it!
What's going on?
Cut!
What are you doing?
What do you mean by "cut"?
Cut?
Oh no, this is...
...a movie shoot?
That's what I was trying to tell you.
Why didn't you...
You didn't give us a chance.
B-But...
Ouch...
I told you I didn't want to do this!
Where did Pai go?
What's that?
I am so sorry!
I had no idea.
I am sorry!
Well, well...
What?
Very nice, very good!
We've got a problem!
Our heroine just quit!
What are we going to do?
We can't shoot without a lead.
People, there's nothing to worry about.
We have a leading lady right here!
I apologize for earlier...
Let me introduce myself.
Blues Davis?
Wow, you're a movie producer!
But what can I do for you?
Your little action show was quite something.
Y-Yeah...
You, please put some sugar in Miss Pai's coffee.
Me?
Uh-huh.
Miss Pai, you are strong yet graceful...
...and beautiful.
You, put some milk in Miss Pai's coffee, too.
Me?
Uh-huh.
Could you give it a stir while you're at it?
Me?
Uh-huh.
Miss Pai, you are the perfect star for my movie!
I'd like for you to replace the heroine who just quit.
I will have them rewrite the script to show off your charm.
My charm...
You mean her?
How dare you!
What a rude thing to say to a future star!
A star?
Pai Chan, you will become an idol, loved by all!
Idol?
Yes!
You'll be the heroine of the silver screen!
I'll be a heroine!
Star...
Idol...
Heroine of the silver screen!
Where is this story going?
Tiger and Swallow company.
Right, tomorrow's shoot...
I'll put it together, yes.
We've got trouble!
What's the problem?
Look, take a look at this!
This is the girl from earlier...
Yeah, that's her all right, no mistake...
What should we do?
What do you think?
Are we going to do it?
Luck is finally turning our way.
Where's our lunch?
What is that new guy doing?
Sorry to keep you waiting.
I bet you're thinking "Fine feathers make fine birds", huh?
More like "Casting pearls before swine"...
What was that?
Not today.
All I ever knew was martial arts.
Being in a world like this is like a dream.
A dream?
Like eating all this lunch?
No, you jerk!
Action, start!
Cut!
Take 15!
Fantastic, that was great!
T-Thank you.
Yes, that was really good.
Definitely Oscar material!
Thank you, and you are...
They're the stunt men from Tiger and Swallow Company.
Oh my God, I'm sorry about the other day!
No problem.
We'd like to take a picture with you as a memento of...
...our work together.
Oh, I'm so hungry.
We want to have lunch and watch them filming, don't we, Alexander?
Hey!
Wait!
Wait Alexander!
Wait!
I said wait!
We're going to take a picture here?
Um, yes...
Here goes!
Smile!
Oh, okay.
Cheese!
What are you doing, let me go!
Shut up, stay still!
Okay.
No hard feelings, lady...
...but we've got to make a living too.
Okay, let's go
What's this?
What's going on?
Who's there?
Is this a zombie movie?
Who're you calling a zombie?
Help, help me Brother!
What are you doing?
Oh no, she's getting away!
We can't let her get away!
Why are we running?
Because they're coming after us.
Ooh, that's gotta hurt.
You're not getting away!
C'mon...
Akira.
Pai...
Akira...
You're so heavy, did you eat my lunch?
Shut up!
Oh, they've started.
It appears so.
Start the cameras!
Roll!
Aye!
Who are they, anyway?
Stuntmen.
From Tiger and Swallow, I think.
Tiger and Swallow?
Koenkan?
No wonder they're such a pain!
What are we gonna do now?
Since you're from the Koenkan, I'm gonna let you have it!
Wow, it looks real.
Oh no.
Good thing we had the mat out.
Yeah!
Akira, are you okay?
Help, I'm afraid of heights.
Oh no, don't pull the dress!
Don't let go!
Let go of me!
You jerk, let go!
No!
I said let go!
Thank goodness!
Is this in the script?
Just keep rolling.
You've got to be joking!
We're not letting you get away!
Make sure you get this!
This is great!
It's going to be the greatest action movie!
What's going on, get out of the street!
You're starting to make me mad!
The fate of my company is at stake here!
Fine then, but you asked for it.
Tetsuzanko!
How dare you ruin my movie!
Rasenansho!
Rasenansho is a throw that utilizes the opponent's kick.
Being able to read the opponent's moves and timing are essential to this move.
The camera!
We gotta get out of here!
Let's go!
But...
My dream is floating away...
...and so is my youth...
Miss Pai...
Mr. Davis, I am so sorry...
...that the movie has gotten cancelled.
I'm...
Thank you.
You gave me a dream to turn you into a star.
Mr. Davis...
I will keep on dreaming.
Because if you don't dream, you can't make it come true.
Please take this.
Someday, I will make your movie.
This is your deposit.
But...
You're a star...
...at least in my book!
Mr. Davis!
My youth...
I have a feeling that a new chapter is about to begin.
Thank God we got Jacky out.
I couldn't spend another minute in that place.
What a waste of time.
Who are you calling?
I'm calling Thomas, maybe he's gotten some kind of lead on Sarah...
Jacky!
S-Sarah!
Sarah, is this you?
Jacky, help me...
...l'm in New York...
Sarah!
What's the matter, Sarah?
Sarah!
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
Hey, Akira here.
We rush to New York after the strange phone call from Sarah.
But we get robbed at the airport...
...and Jacky and Pai get into a fight.
Can't you guys get along?
No!
You stay out of it!
The next episode of Virtua Fighter, "Runaway Subway."
How dare they use Sarah as bait!
Sarah this, Sarah that, I'm a girl too, you know!
Sarah!
