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.
Sarah was finally reunited with Akira and the others...
...but she had been brainwashed by Eva.
I am Sarah, the invincible warrior.
Stop it, calm down, don't you know who I am?
Kagemaru filled Akira and his friends in on what had happened to Sarah.
Now they face a battle with Sarah to bring her back.
A New Journey
Sarah!
Sarah, do we have to do this?
It's just like Kagemaru said.
Her eyes have no emotion or kindness.
She's just a fighting machine.
Akira!
Sarah!
Wake up!
Come on Sarah, open your eyes!
Sarah!
Jacky, are you okay?
I'm fine, it's nothing.
What's wrong, Akira Yuki?
Is this all there is to you?
Or are you still trying to protect Sarah?
There's no point in collecting data.
I've got to get him to fight seriously.
Akira...
He doesn't want to hurt Sarah.
He's got no reason to fight her.
Sarah is under Eva's control.
That's why...
Jacky!
Akira, you have to have defeat Sarah...
...it's the only way to get her back.
To free Sarah from Eva...
No matter how I do it...
...I have to get her to calm down.
Wake up Sarah!
That's it, Akira.
Go ahead and spin your wheels for my research.
Who is it?
Release Sarah Bryant from your control.
If not...
Never!
Do it now!
Hurry up!
Sarah, are you okay?
Sarah!
Jacky!
Akira!
Akira, are you okay?
Yeah, but...
I couldn't get Sarah back.
Sarah.
Now, free her!
Never!
Sarah!
Wait, Sarah.
No need to go after him.
We're going back to the research center.
This is interesting.
What's so interesting, Dr. Ivanov?
Mr. Moreno, these pictures...
Have you heard of Eva Durricks?
No.
She presented a paper...
...to the academy on the relationship between human's fighting abilities and emotions.
But it was thought to be ridiculous and no one was interested.
She stated that human emotions, fears and conscience lower one's fighting abilities.
So if you remove emotions from a human...
...it is possible to create the perfect fighting machine...
...even more effective than a trained soldier.
Judging from these pictures, it appears that she has proven her theory...
...she has erased all emotion and created the perfect warrior.
A perfect warrior with no emotions!
The perfect warrior is one who thinks and makes decisions for himself.
I see you are an idealist, Colonel.
Regardless, it doesn't change the fact that the Rafale Company and Mr. Van Coole...
...have acknowledged that this is experiment could be beneficial to them...
...and to me as well.
Well, I'll leave that to you, Doctor.
I will concentrate on Akira Yuki and Mr. Lion.
This time, for sure...
H-Hey, ow!
Stay still.
But it hurts.
You have no tolerance for pain.
Right, Jacky?
Sarah's ribbon...
Alexander...
Sarah loved animals since she was a little girl.
She was so kind.
She wasn't just kind...
Even way back then, she had a strong sense of justice.
Stop it.
Pick on someone your own size, I won't let you get away with this!
She would stand up to bullies, especially if they were...
...picking on animals, even if she knew she didn't stand a chance against them.
Cut it out!
How dare you treat Sarah like...
I wanted to protect her.
Big brother!
Sarah.
I swore then, that I would protect Sarah for the rest of my life...
But I...
It's not possible.
There is no way to protect her forever.
What?
Is she supposed to spend the rest of her life with you?
No, but...
Sarah will chose her own path...
...someday.
Akira...
And that's another reason we've got to save her.
Yeah.
Where is it?
Where is the key to unlock her mind?
Dr. Ivanov, it is an honor to have an esteemed doctor such as yourself come visit me.
I read the paper on your experiment.
Very interesting.
Oh my...
...but that was a long time ago
I've heard rumors about your recent research.
Well, I suppose you are the chief of the Rafale Company's science division.
So, how much do you know?
Sarah Bryant.
Does that answer your question?
I'm very happy to have you here Dr. Ivanov.
So, the Rafale Company finally sent over their snoop.
You should be ashamed.
Not only were you single-handedly defeated by Sarah Bryant...
...but you let Pai and Jacky go.
We understand the consequences.
Please punish us as you see fit.
That can wait.
Why was she using Sarah Bryant to attack us?
Eva, what the hell are you up to?
She was always an excellent Jeet Kun do fighter.
But she was too kindhearted.
The red curve is after the brainwashing.
Just by getting rid of her emotions, we were able to see a huge difference.
It was evident in a fight against her only brother.
Quite an accomplishment, severing even the bonds of family.
You may have been able to eradicate all emotion, but...
...how do you control her?
I've already solved that problem.
Take a look.
Her earrings are set up to emit certain frequencies...
...that stimulate different parts of her brain.
This enables us to control her easily.
Brilliant.
Chief, you have a call from Mr. Ryu, from Koenkan.
Tell him I'm not in.
Yes ma'am.
Are you sure, the Koenkan is...
It's all right.
It's not important.
Do you understand?
Our first priority to is capture Sir Lion.
In order to ensure his safety, no weapons will be used.
He's a martial artist and is a formidable foe.
Begin operation!
Hello?
Akira, it's for you.
Me?
Hello?
What?
Okay.
Thank you.
Hey, what is it?
That was Kagemaru.
Sarah is in Germany.
Really?
Let's go, right away.
Jacky!
Men from Rafale...
That's right.
Your father is waiting for you.
Please allow us to take you home.
And you, Akira Yuki...
...I’d like to pay you back for last week.
You make such a big deal of everything.
Take me if you can.
I see.
I have no choice.
This may hurt a little.
Cowards!
You're are always trying to control people with brute force.
You're just the same as Koenkan.
You are all evil.
And what is wrong with that?
The weak obey the strong, that's the way of the world.
It's a simple truth.
Will you obey the orders of your powerful father?
Lion, don't worry about us.
You can't take us that easily.
You're just Rafale's yes-man.
What?
You little punk.
Get them!
Here we go!
I've always wanted to try my hand against that Toroh-ken of yours.
Not bad.
As would be expected of the heir to the Rafale Empire.
I have nothing to do with the Rafale Company.
I'm sick and tired of my old man.
Lion.
Yes, but because of your father, you are who you are.
Have you forgotten?
Shut up!
I don't want to hear it!
You don't know anything.
Juchosendo!
Juchosendo is a jumping technique that relies on Toroh-ken's incredible speed.
It's most effective when executed while the enemy is off-balance from the initial attack.
However, the timing is extremely difficult, and it requires highly advanced skills.
Now go and tell my father that I'm not going back.
I'm not sure about that.
Lion!
You dirty bastard.
There is nothing clean about the way a professional fights.
You're next Akira Yuki.
This time you will fall to your knees before a professional martial artist.
Professional?
All you are is a murderer.
You don't have the right to call yourself a martial artist.
One should neither bring harm to themselves, nor to others...
...this is the guiding principle of my martial arts.
But, it doesn't apply to those who have gone astray.
Since you have no discipline, I'll have to set you straight.
Shut up brat!
Lion, are you really leaving?
Of course!
I know that the wealth of the Rafale comes from the suffering of others.
How could I go back?
What are you going to solve by running away?
Do you think the Rafale family will change its ways if you leave?
But Jacky left...
I had a goal, to be a racer.
What about you?
Well...
If you're leaving just to leave, how can you have a goal?
Changing Rafale's ways is a pretty good goal to have, don't you think?
There's no way.
My father doesn't care what I think.
The bigger the dream and the goal, the better.
Yeah, the bigger the dream, the more it's worth fighting for.
Thank you, Akira.
I'll try to change the Rafale family.
Good luck.
You can do it, Lion.
Well, I'm off.
Take care.
Don't let your dad get the better of you.
Never!
Good luck with Sarah.
No problem!
Well, bon voyage.
It's time for us to go too.
Are we really getting on a plane?
Of course, it's faster.
You're scared, aren't you?
N-No, that's not it...
C'mon, hurry up.
Wait, I hate airplanes!
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
Sarah, have you really lost your own will?
He's serious.
I'm not the only one to blame for Sarah losing her will.
It's your fault too, Jacky Bryant.
What?
I can't get through to her.
I mean, Next Episode: The Brother Sister Bond.
I don't need Sarah Bryant or Ryu Kaorun!
Sarah, calm down!
It looks like next episode is going to be intense.
