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 was saved from death by Jimmy Gates, the head of Koenkan USA.
He finally gets to Europe with Jeffrey's help.
So Jeffery, you're going to buy a boat with the money you've earned...
Yeah, now I can finally take on the Satan Shark.
It appears that your new boat is now a pile of rubble.
I will show you the true strength of a man!
As I planned.
A Young Noble Appears
You've come to.
Wait.
Listen!
I am responsible for putting you in this situation...
...but please, listen to what I have to say.
Please!
Wait!
Don't you want to go back?
...to your bother?
Brother?
I don't have a brother or friends.
What?
I am Sarah Bryant, the invincible warrior.
There's nothing I can do right now.
That's enough for now.
That was wonderful, Sarah.
Let's go back to the research facility.
That's Eva Durricks.
So that's what's going on.
Grand Paris
Thanks for the ride!
Bye!
Finally, Grand Paris.
I'm so hungry.
But I don't have any money...
This is it!
You have a management lecture at 17:00.
Professor Rouan from the Grand Paris University will be your speaker tonight.
Sir Lion...
Sir Lion?
Sir Lion, are you listening?
What's going on over there?
Stop the car!
Sir Lion, please wait!
This is Charlotte, Sir Lion has gotten away again.
Gather around folks!
What your about to see is the most unusual performance by a flying squirrel!
How cute!
Now, have you ever seen anything like it?
This is none other than Alexander, the genius flying squirrel!
Come on, keep spinning.
Hang in there!
That's right, keep spinning.
Now for the big spin!
More, more!
Sir Lion.
Let's go home.
Next, he will juggle the balls!
Um, excuse me...
Would you...
It's time to go, Sir Lion.
I want to see the show!
I don't want to do this but...
...you asked for it.
That's Touroh-ken.
Touroh-ken is a martial art that was developed in the Santo province of China.
It is a mix of the best moves from the top 17 martial art forms...
...practiced throughout China.
It's speed is unmatched.
You've got horrible taste in aftershave.
Now go on home!
He totally stole our audience.
Sorry for interrupting your performance.
No worries, at least we earned enough to eat today.
But your fighting skills sure don't seem like a street performance trick.
Yeah, I've got my reasons.
I'm Lion Rafale.
I'm Akira Yuki...
...and this is Alexander.
Pleased to meet you.
Hey, can I have him?
No way.
Why not?
I'll pay for him.
Absolutely not.
I just thought I'd ask.
Sorry if I upset you.
No!
You're pretty good.
Is that Hakkyokuken?
Your Touroh-ken is useless if you leave your back unguarded like that.
You're right.
Are you okay?
Let's go get something to eat, Alexander.
See you around, Lion.
Hey wait up, Akira.
That punk...
Sir Lion got away again.
What did you say?
What were you doing?
I'm sorry.
But we don't have anyone who can stop him.
We can't even come close to his Touroh-ken.
We are doing the best we can.
Just bring Lion back.
Make use of the Rafale company if you have to.
Yes sir.
That spoiled brat.
He never listens!
Monsieur Ryu, sorry for the interruption.
It must be hard to have a child of that age.
Lion is a big problem.
He has no interest in the fact that he's the successor of the Rafale Conglomerate.
Monsieur Rafale, I don't mean to meddle, but...
...why don't you allow us to help you find Sir Lion?
You mean the Koenkan?
I think that we are the only ones equipped to stop...
...Sir Lion and his Touroh-ken.
I promise to bring him to you.
I'm sick of it all.
My father and everyone around only see me...
...as the successor to the Rafale empire.
Every time I try to do something for myself...
You are the heir to the Rafale empire!
You must behave appropriately for an heir, Sir Lion.
Heir this, heir that...
No one tries to understand me!
I am first and foremost Lion Rafale!
Uh, are you listening?
I can eat more.
What's the matter?
Gravenhaag
Koenkan Europe Headquarters
Let me out of here!
I said, let me out!
Let me see Sarah!
Jackie, you have so much energy.
They both have so much energy.
It's no wonder just the three of them were able to defeat the Koenkan USA.
But we've caught them.
Something Yan Weimin nor Jimmy Gates could do...
The Koenkan is embarking on a new era.
Master Lau Chan is nothing but a figurehead now.
The Koenkan will become even greater than it is now...
...under the leadership of Master Ryu.
And second in line will be...
...us.
Oh, you finally caught Jacky Bryant and Pai Chan?
It was easy with Akira Yuki out of the picture.
This now means that there is no one left to get in our way.
I'll have someone take care of Jacky Bryant.
Would you let me take care of him?
What do you have in mind?
If we're going to get rid of him, we may as well get some use out of him...
...that's all.
Fine, I will leave it up to you.
Boy did I eat, I'm full!
Shall we go?
Don't worry about it.
I'll get the bill.
What?
But I need you to help me run away from home.
I'll pay you.
Akira?
What's up?
Akira!
Akira, why are you mad?
Look.
I've been on the road for a long time and a lot of people have helped me out...
...so I'm not one to talk, but...
...they helped me, not with their parents' money.
The money you were going give me, it's your Dad's right?
You're running away from home using your father's money?
That's just child's play, I don't think you dad will take you seriously.
If you really want to be free, you have to begin here.
Use your own head, and stand on your own two feet.
See ya.
My own head and my two feet...
He has a point.
Mr. Lion Rafale?
What are you doing?
What are they doing to Lion?
Hey, hey, hey!
Akira!
Hey Lion, why is the Koenkan after you?
Koenkan?
These guys.
I bet my old man hired them.
Hired kidnappers?
That's something the Koenkan would do!
Y-You're Akira Yuki!
No way, I heard he died in America.
Is that so?
I'm alive and well!
Hey, I just had a great idea.
Lion, run!
Come on!
If you take me to Headquarters, you'll be generously rewarded, right?
I don't need you to tell me that!
Akira!
That's why I told you to run.
What?
Lion, take care of yourself!
Akira!
I'll save you!
I wonder if Jacky's asleep...
I wonder what's going to happen to us.
I wonder if they are going to take us to Ryu.
No...
I can't stand it.
Please Akira, help me.
If only Akira were here...
Hey, are you going to feed me?
That's what he would...
Shut up and keep walking!
A-Akira...
Are Pai and Jacky here?
It's Akira!
Akira!
Pai, is that you?
How are you?
I'm here too!
Jacky!
I knew you'd be alive!
I knew it!
Now that I know where everyone is...
Pai, I'm letting you out now.
Akira!
Thank God, you're alive!
Likewise!
Pai, what are you doing?
Why are you kissing the ground?
Come on, let's go!
Let's hurry.
Come on!
What's wrong?
You idiot!
What did you do that for?
You idiot!
You're an idiot!
I was so worried about you!
Uh, well...
Why you...
Don't take me so lightly.
Lion!
What are you doing here?
Akira, I've come to save you!
I told you to run!
So you're Akira Yuki.
You look pretty stupid.
Stupid?
However...
...this is as far as you go.
Prepare to die!
Poisoned needles!
How dare you use such dirty tactics!
I will never forgive the use of martial arts to kill!
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!
Shut up!
Young man, let's see if you can dodge this!
You just won't let up, will you?
What did you say?
Out of needles?
My, how cute!
You're finished!
Now!
I really didn't want to do this to a lady but...
...Saishuhouko!
Saishuhouko is a technique where one grabs the enemy's arm, pulls her in...
...and then punches her face with his fist using the enemy's momentum.
It is a technique that displays the speed and destructive power of Touroh-ken.
Eliza!
Let's retreat for now.
Finished already?
Well, I guess we should get going too.
Yeah!
Akira, I used my own head and my own two feet to get here.
Lion, you're out of control.
That's...
Sarah!
You're alive, Sarah!
Sarah suddenly appears before Akira and the others.
What will become of 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
I'm Sarah, the invincible warrior!
Akira, who is this scary lady?
Sarah is invincible, and she's mine.
Akira, who are these old ladies?
Old ladies?
Sarah, your next target is this French brat!
Next episode of Virtua Fighter, "A Coldhearted Reunion."
Don't compare me to her, I'm young and beautiful!
Sarah's out of control!
Somersault kick!
