The eight stars that reside in the sky...
...which 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.
After defeating Koenkan USA, Jacky and Pai traveled to Europe where they...
...search for Sarah while worrying over Akira's safety.
Stop chattering and just get out of here...
...so we can build our dojo!
The Koenkan?
Pai, why are you crying?
I shouldn't have been so hard-headed...
No one is better with the nunchucks than the men of Jeet Kun Do!
You are alive, right, Akira?
Man of the Sea
You're not looking so good there, Akira.
Oh, Jeffrey...
You can't handle these little waves?
I get motion sickness easily.
I don't know if I'm gonna make it!
Watch what you say!
What would you say to him if you died in a place like this?
Him?
He risked his life to save you.
Jimmy!
Alexander!
Akira!
Get out of here...
It's not safe here.
Hurry...
Alexander, go.
Come on.
You gotta go.
Hurry!
Pai...
Jacky...
That's right, I was unconscious and Gates saved me...
That's right.
He had a good face.
A good face?
Can you take him to Europe?
I said no.
Please, he needs to get there.
There's someone in Gravenhaag in Holland he needs to see.
It's very important!
He's your friend?
Friend?
Yes, he is my friend.
He had a good face.
He had the face of a true man.
That's why I took you in.
One man's favor to another.
Friend...
Jimmy.
Look.
We're in Europe, that's the port in France.
That's where my crew contract ends.
Crew?
I thought you were the captain.
"I took you in as a favor from one man to another"...
...but you're just a crew member?
Jeffrey!
Yes, sir!
How dare you sneak a stowaway on board and slack off to top it off!
Get to work!
Yes, sir!
Jeffrey...
So you're going to buy a boat with the money you earned?
Yeah...
And I'm going back to the South Pacific to fight the Satan Shark.
Satan Shark?
It is a great shark, said to be 8 meters long...
It's also known as the devil of the seas.
I've come up against it many times, it's been my archenemy since my father's time.
Catching him has always been my dream.
Dream.
My dream is...
What the!
W-Why Pai?
You want to see Jacky and Sarah too, don't you?
Don't worry, we'll find them.
You've got a long road ahead, but hang in there.
For Jimmy's sake too.
Yeah.
Pai...
He's okay, I'm sure of it.
Yes.
We'll get to see Akira and Sarah soon, right?
Yeah.
We're almost at Gravenhaag, we'll definitely find them there!
Yeah!
Holland, Gravenhaag
Jacky!
K-Koenkan!
They saw right through our plan.
No way!
What the...
We gotta get out of here!
C'mon.
Oh no, you are...
Where are you going?
Pai, let's go!
It would be best if you don't move.
You wouldn't want to spoil your trip with spilt blood.
You're from the Koenkan too?
Isabel Hower, head of the Koenkan, Europe.
Her sister, Eliza Hower!
Where is Sarah?
Sarah?
Beats me...
We're only interested in this girl.
Oh no...
Sarah!
Let's begin the experiment, shall we?
Why are you late with your report?
It's your job to keep me informed about what's going on at Durricks research lab.
This isn't right.
What?
I cannot do this.
What are you talking about?
My heart speaks louder than my professional conscience.
What's gotten into you?
I will follow my heart...
...this heart of mine!
Kagemaru!
Hey Kagemaru!
Forget him!
What's causing him to disobey orders like that?
Monsieur Rafale, it's Moreno, sir.
Come in.
Excuse me, sir.
What is going on?
Sir!
With regards to Durricks research la...
Not that!
I want to know what's going on with the island.
I'm sorry sir, but negotiations with the owner haven't gone as planned...
The weapons testing facility we plan to build...
...on that island is the utmost importance to us!
And we need to conduct these tests to maintain our position as...
...the top weapons manufacturer in the world.
Yes sir, I understand.
Do whatever it takes to get them off the island as soon as possible!
Yes sir!
Fortunately, Jeffrey McWild, the owner of the island...
...is headed for France as we speak.
So I will personally go to see him and get him to sign it over to us.
If he doesn't co-operate...
I'm counting on you, Colonel Moreno.
Yes sir!
Monsieur McWild!
Welcome to France.
How do you do, I'm Jack Moreno from the Rafale company.
Rafale Company?
I have a profitable proposition for you.
Not interested.
You heard him.
You may not be, but we're very interested in your island.
I'm in a hurry, I'm going to...
...go buy a boat?
What did you say?
A large fishing boat.
I hear you've been saving up to buy a boat, so you can go catch an 8 meter shark.
You!
How do you know that?
Jeffrey!
I know everything about you...
...your wife's taste in clothes...
...how many cavities your three children have...
W-What?
Stop it, Jeffrey!
If you know me so well...
...you should also know that I have no interest in what you have to say!
I wouldn't be so sure...
After all, we are in a position to offer you anything you want...
For example...
Look over there, the latest model of fishing boat...
...outfitted with the best equipment.
With your wages, you could never come close to owning something like that.
Here, it's yours.
In addition to the price of your island.
I don't need your stinking boat!
And you're not getting the island!
Akira, let's go.
Uh, okay...
Jeffrey, what is the Rafale company?
The largest weapon manufacturer in the world.
You mean like missiles and rocket bombs?
What do they want with your island?
It seems that they intend to use my island to test their weapons.
But I won't let them!
That island has been in my family for generations, I cannot let that happen.
Not a single fish will survive.
Not even the Satan Shark.
This boat is just fine for me to battle my fish!
Just you wait, Satan Shark!
I'm going to get you this time for sure!
So you're buying this boat?
Yep, my mind is made up.
Do it!
Yes sir!
Wow!
My life savings.
Thank you.
All right then, sign here.
I'm glad you found a nice boat.
Yeah.
Here I come, Satan Shark!
I, Jeffrey McWild, am going to be the one to catch you!
What the...
Oh no...
How unfortunate...
It appears that your new boat is now a pile of rubble.
If you want to have a boat that much...
...perhaps you'd like to reconsider our offer.
What?
You blew up his boat?
You won't get away with this!
You lay one finger on me...
...and you'll find yourself face to face with our finest former special tactics squad.
You jerks!
It's no use...
Even your brute strength is no match against their knives.
Now, if you would just sign this contract...
Just sign over the island, and you can avoid the bloodshed.
That's enough!
A-Akira!
How dare you destroy Jeffrey's dream to satisfy your evil goals!
I won't forgive you!
People should neither bring harm to themselves nor to others.
This is the guiding principle of my martial arts.
But it does not apply to those who have gone astray!
Since you lack discipline, I'll have to set you straight!
Here goes!
Get him!
What?
Not bad, Akira!
I'll join you.
I'll show them the true strength of a man of the sea!
Jeffrey!
I didn't know you wrestled.
It's Pankration!
Pankration is a bare-handed fighting technique that was...
...developed in ancient Rome.
Refined primitive moves such as...
...punching kicking and choking are used for this style.
It is believed to be the origin of present day martial arts.
Pankration my foot.
There is no way...
...that you can beat professionally trained...
...combat soldiers like us!
See for yourself!
This is combat!
Real combat, that's what counts!
So, how about signing that contract...
...with your own blood!
You murderers!
You can only take on humans.
I will show you the true strength of a man...
The power of a man who challenges the Satan Shark and the great wilderness!
Impossible, how could I lose?
Splash Mountain!
Splash Mountain is a technique in which the fighter lifts his enemy over his head...
...jumps into the air, and slams his enemy head first into the ground.
The weight of both men...
...and the momentum of the jump create such force upon the enemy's head...
...the enemy suffers great damage.
This is the power that comes from the bottom of the sea!
I'm sorry about the boat.
It's okay.
So long as the ocean is safe, the Satan Shark will wait for me.
If you ever get the chance, come visit the island.
I'll feed you loads of fresh fish.
Definitely!
Good luck Akira, I'll pray that you find your friends.
Jeffrey...
Chief, Sarah Bryant is...
I know.
Just as planned...
What will become of Kagemaru?
Will Akira find Pai and Jacky?
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
I am Kagemaru, 10th generation Hagakure Ninja.
Kagemaru, you really are a man of few words.
I'm just...
Here I am running all over the place, and you come along and rescue Sarah!
I...
Are you a groupie?
I...
A pervert?
The next episode of Virtua Fighter, "A Young Noble Appears."
You're one to talk, messing around with some French rich kid!
Why you!
Hey, don't interrupt me!
