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, 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 got into the Koenkan's underground casino...
...but fell into a trap set by Jimmy Gates, the head of the Koenkan, USA...
...and are taken captive.
I'm coming for you and your friends, I promise.
I'm going to destroy everything that torments me!
Open your eyes, wake up Jimmy!
Shut up!
Akira!
Little Dancer
Hong Kong
Gates is dead?
Koenkan Hong Kong Headquarters Gates is dead?
Yes.
And it seems that he took Akira Yuki with him.
He blew up the underground casino just to kill that punk.
Aren't you going to eat?
Yeah...
Akira would say...
"You need to eat, especially at a time like this."
At first, I thought he was just a hungry idiot...
But he was...
Akira's alive.
Even Wolf said so.
I'm sure he's alive.
I promise I'll find him, so you two go on and save Sarah.
Akira's fine, I know he is...
...and Sarah too.
The Koenkan's Europe Headquarters are in Gravenhaag, Holland.
I'm sure we can find some clues there.
I wonder if we'll be able to find Sarah this time...
We'll find her.
This looks great.
It's good!
Delicious!
Yum...
You'd like it too, Akira.
Germany, The Rhine
Turn it up.
But, it's too risky.
Turn it up!
Yes.
Keep going.
Why is she doing this?
Holland, Old Amsterdam
The train for Gravenhaag leaves in one hour.
I'll go get the tickets.
What?
Don't get our stuff stolen like in New York.
You get absent-minded sometimes.
Okay!
I didn't know you're that kind of type who holds grudges.
Hey, I'm not holding a grudge!
Oops, sorry!
Anyway, I'll go get the...
Huh?
What's the matter?
My wallet's gone...
That jerk!
Jacky!
Hold it!
And who is absent-minded?
Shut up!
Wait!
Give me back my wallet!
What are you doing?
You're kind of a klutz, too.
Shut up.
You've still got a long way to go.
Um, this...
Thank you.
You're really strong.
You're so cool!
Well, thank you...
Hey young lady, I'm pretty strong too, you know.
Can I ask you a favor?
A favor?
You want to ask her a favor?
Will you be my bodyguard?
Bodyguard?
What's this about?
I need your help.
Sounds like she's in trouble...
Yeah, but we don't have time to play bodyguard.
Akira would help her.
Mama!
Lilliana!
What are you doing?
We're just claiming what is rightfully ours, little lady.
See, this is a contract saying they'll give us this space.
Take a look.
See, here's her signature.
No, that's not my signature!
Shut up!
Stop chattering and just get out of here, so we can build our dojo!
Dojo?
That's right, now get them.
All right, you wanna fight?
I'll show you!
What?
You!
Wow.
Still want more?
I won't forget this!
Yeah well, I've already forgotten.
Wow, so you really are strong!
Told you!
But...
I'll show them!
That girl...
Koenkan Europe Headquarters
Okay, I understand.
It seems that she's turned up in Old Amsterdam.
Pai Chan...
I wonder is she's coming to visit us in Gravenhaag.
Who knows.
Should we go welcome her?
What shall we do?
Why am I doing this?
They can't practice in this mess.
Well, that's true...
This is awfully familiar, isn't it?
Back in China town...
...Akira fixed up Manpuku restaurant after the Koenkan destroyed it.
He even polished all the pots and pans...
Pai...
How's it going?
Hey, you're slacking off!
No, we aren't!
I understand you're traveling.
I'm sorry to have gotten you mixed up in this.
Oh, don't worry about it.
Are you two on your honeymoon?
No, no way!
We're looking for someone.
We're just friends.
Right?
Um, yeah!
Are you moving out?
Well, they're threatening us with that forged contract.
We have a recital next month, so we were trying to hang on until then, but...
I'm going to dance in Swan Lake.
Mama finally gave me the part of Princess Odette!
Lilliana!
What are you doing?
We need to cool it down!
No, let me go! We need to cool it down!
No, let me go!
That's enough already!
What?
It's just that you reminded me of my sister.
Sister?
Yeah, when we were little, she was always getting hurt.
She'd never admit that it hurt, no matter how bad it was.
Did something happen to your sister?
It's time to eat, let's go!
Finally, we finished!
Hey, Pai.
If we get that fake contract from those guys, they won't have to leave, right?
That's what Akira would do, right?
Sarah too.
She'd say the same...
She'd want me to help them.
Jacky...
Is that Odette's costume?
It's beautiful.
Swan Lake...
A story about a prince and a princess who fall in love for the first time...
Lilliana, will you dance for us?
Yes!
You like Jacky?
Yes, I think it's love.
You think so?
What should I do?
Um, well...
Isn't there someone you like?
Someone I like...
Pai?
Why are you crying?
I'm just...
I'm just thinking, I shouldn't have been so hard-headed...
...and now he's so far away.
Where did he go?
I'm not sure.
One time, there was a part that I just couldn't get...
...and I almost quit ballet.
I used to love ballet, but I got so sick of it all...
But Mama told me...
"There is never a night that isn't followed by morning."
There is never a night that isn't followed by morning...
"No matter how long and hard the night, morning always comes..."
"...so hang on", she said.
No matter how hard the night...
...morning always comes.
There is never a night that isn't followed by morning...
Quit hiding and come out.
That's my line.
I think I have something you want.
I see you can be reasonable.
But of course.
You still want more, after what happened to you yesterday?
You see, it's your turn to get beat up today.
Oh?
What?
So it's your dojo...
The Koenkan!
That's right.
You don't care what happens to her?
You jerk!
You may want to listen to us now.
Right?
Lilliana!
Jacky!
Nice one!
It's all those ballet lessons!
Here goes!
How dare you!
Sorry, but no one is better with the nun chucks than the men of Jeet Kun Do!
Haven't you ever watched a Bruce Lee movie?
Face Crusher!
Face Crusher is used when the opponent starts to run away...
...or when he turns his back.
The enemy is pounced on from behind, and his face is slammed into the ground.
Sharp reflexes, speed, and great jumping abilities are required for this move.
And the contract?
Jacky!
Light.
If I hear that you're causing trouble again, I'll come flying.
Thank you so much.
Lilliana, say thank you.
That was some kick!
See ya!
Jacky!
Thank you.
Will I see you again?
Yeah.
Of course you will!
I hope you get to see your friend soon too, Pai.
Next time I'll show you how grown ups kiss.
Jacky!
You have to come and see me dance!
You are alive, right, Akira?
Hello.
Akira, where are you?
What's up, Alexander?
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
Akira, you're alive, right?
Of course I am.
Akira, I have faith in you.
I'm telling you I'm alive!
Of course he's alive, so we must be strong.
Listen to me!
Shut up!
Look, you're the one who went missing, so quit butting in!
Sorry.
The next episode of Virtua Fighter, "Man of the Sea"
Listen guys, Jeffrey saved me!
Shut up!
Sorry.
