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 and his friends fell into the trap of Eva and got arrested.
Akira and Pai were released immediately...
...but Jacky was detained because of his bad behavior.
Akira and Pai had to come up with his bail.
In a strange twist of events, Pai caught a producer's eye...
...and was asked to star in his movie.
As luck would have it, two of the stuntmen were from the Koenkan.
The producer had to cancel the film.
Out of the blue, Jacky received a phone call from his sister...
Jacky, help me, I'm in New York...
Runaway Subway
Was this the only flight we could get?
This is the best we could do after paying your bail.
This plane must be older than my grandfather.
The older, the more experienced.
Did you hear that, the engine sputtered.
That proves the engine is working.
This is nothing.
Think as if you're on a roller coaster, it's not too bad.
L-I guess you're right.
What a rush!
They're in a beat-up DC-3 on the way to New York.
They're scheduled to arrive at 15:20.
All arrangements at JFK have been made.
Everything so far has been going smoothly.
The Koenkan men have never bothered to study about these three.
But I'm different from those amateurs.
Akira Yuki, let's see if you can get through the traps I've set for you.
I feel sick.
I need to pee.
They're moving her.
What could they be up to?
Come on you two, Sarah needs our help.
I see you're feeling better.
Where are we supposed to go?
Uh, well...
You wait here, I'll go get information.
I'm going to the bathroom then.
Hey, why do I have to stay here with the luggage?
Oh, sorry.
Oh no, I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention.
Oh no!
I'm fine, it's fine, really.
I'm so sorry, really...
No, it's okay, it's not a big deal.
It's okay, I'm fine.
So sorry, good luck.
Yes, thanks, good luck to you too.
Thief!
What's the matter?
Thief, he's a thief!
What?
Thief!
Wait!
Hello.
Flight 238 to Stuttgart.
Smoking or non-smoking?
Thomas is away for Christmas holidays.
Oh...
Would you like to leave a message?
No, it's okay.
Excuse me, but...
Hey, hold it!
Oh no...
Hey.
What happened?
Hey?
Look, I said I'm sorry.
Our bags with the money get stolen, Thomas is on vacation.
We have no idea where Sarah is...
What are we supposed to do?
Don't take it out on me!
I'm so hungry...
It's your fault for not paying attention.
I said, don't take it out on me!
I'm hungry.
And by the way, just because we don't have any money...
...why do we all have to share a room?
I'm a respectable lady, you know!
It's nothing compared to what Sarah is going through.
I need food.
Food is all you ever think about!
I can't deal with you insensitive jerks anymore!
Hey, are you going to get some food?
Pai...
Let her go.
Come to think of it, I don't act much like a girl.
You're pretty thoughtful when it comes to food...
Thank you.
It wasn't a compliment.
Jacky's stressed out.
I know that, but...
Everyone gets cranky when they're hungry.
But...
That's not it...
I'm a girl too, you know.
I mean, I'm not sexy and I'm stubborn, but...
I wonder if the snow will stay.
A white Christmas.
C'mon, let's go...
Jacky's waiting.
Help!
Akira!
Nice clothes, got some money?
If you don't want to get hurt, give us your money.
Please stop.
Hey, what are you doing?
Stay out of this!
Mind your own business or you'll get hurt!
Let's go!
Are you okay?
Sit still!
What are doing, bringing home trouble again?
Can't you think of anyone else, Jacky?
Sorry, I'm just worried about Sarah.
Sarah?
Yeah, we came to New York to look for Jacky's sister, Sarah.
I'm sorry to take it out on you.
Does she have blond hair like you?
Yes, she does.
Sarah Bryant...
Hey!
Why do you know that name?
You're choking me...
Oh, I'm sorry...
Please, tell me why you know her name!
Sarah came running into the apartment that my sister and I live in.
She was in pretty bad shape.
Is that true?
My sister's taking care of her, she's asleep at our place now.
Jacky!
Yeah!
Um, what's your name?
Jimmy.
Jimmy, will you take us to your place?
Of course!
This way!
What's wrong?
It's the Koenkan!
My sister!
Sarah!
Hurry!
Hold it!
Sister!
Sarah!
The subway?
But these tracks are supposed to be closed...
It's running!
Hurry!
Akira!
If the tracks are closed, why is a train running?
We can worry about that later, at least we know that...
...Sarah's here!
There's nowhere for them to run.
Ow, that hurt!
I'm Guy Krueger from the Koenkan New York.
You're not getting past me.
What is it with these guys, they never want to let us through.
If that's how it is...
People should bring harm neither to themselves nor to others.
That is the guiding principle of my martial arts.
But it doesn't apply to those who have gone astray!
Since you lack the discipline, I'll have to set you straight!
Here goes!
Renkentai!
Akira!
We've got to stop the train!
Wait!
Got you!
Kosoraishu!
Katsumensotai!
Katsumensotai is used when you're on the ground and the...
...opponent's coming in low for a strike.
Just as he is coming in, a spin kick is strategically placed.
This move does not incur fatal damage...
...but in this case, Guy's own momentum...
...serves to double the impact of the kick.
He did it!
Sarah!
Where have they taken Sarah?
Tell me!
I'll tell you, so take your hands off...
The casino...
Casino?
There's a Koenkan casino on this unused subway line.
Sarah's been chosen to fight there as part of the entertainment.
How dare they!
A casino fighter?
Sarah is not a showpiece!
We gotta find out where the casino is!
Where did he go?
Let's split up.
Master Gates!
Good work.
Everything's going as planned.
Unfortunately, you're weaker than I expected.
Jimmy!
A-Akira...
I heard him scream, so I came running...
Shoot...
Sarah!
What will happen to Sarah?
Where is the underground Koenkan casino?
With their lead gone, Akira and his friends were at a loss.
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, it's Akira.
We finally get into the Koenkan's casino to look for Sarah and Jimmy's sister.
If we want Sarah back, we need to fight?
Don't worry Jacky, I'll fight him.
That's the undefeated Wolf Hawkfield!
The next episode of Virtua Fighter, "Illegal Wrestling."
Illegal wrestling is nothing but murder.
You don't deserve to call yourself a martial artist!
