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.
Brother Sister Bond
What?
Akira Yuki?
He's in Germany.
According to the most recent update, he is in the Coblenz area.
So they've figured out where Sarah is.
Hurry.
Looks like rain.
It's been over an hour since he left to go borrow a boat.
"Leave it to me" he says...
Jacky, does it hurt?
No, I'm fine.
But...
The pain my arm is nothing compared to the pain of being attacked...
...by my little sister.
Compared to that shock, this is nothing.
Jacky.
Hey!
Sorry it took so long!
What?
So, you guys want to go to the Notre Rhine Castle?
If I had known that I wouldn't have given you a ride.
Why?
That castle belonged to a feudal lord that once ruled this area.
It was a popular tourist attraction until recently.
But a strange rich woman bought it a while back...
...and since then, many strange characters have been around there...
It's them...
Eva Durricks.
Without a doubt.
Yeah.
Wait for me, Sarah.
This is amazing...
...all of this data.
I'm quite proud of my data on Chinese martial arts.
Doctor, even though you've managed to remove her emotions by brain washing...
...she is still human.
I don't see why it's necessary to gather so much information on one human.
An observation worthy of the head of the science division...
...of the Rafale Company, Dr. Ivanov.
Sarah's brainwashing experiment is just a stepping stone.
Her brainwashing and the data I've collected is just a small part of Project D.
Project D?
That's right.
That's what it's all for.
Chief!
Mr. Ryu from Koenkan is here!
Ryu?
Mr. Ryu, what brings you out here, to this remote region of Germany?
Mr. Ryu?
What are you thinking?
Why would you destroy Koenkan Europe?
I won't let you feign ignorance.
Mr. Ryu...
It seems I've been too lenient with you.
You deserve to die for this crime.
Chief!
What?
A-Akira Yuki...
What, is he here?
He's here.
Mr. Ryu...
Why don't you let me take care of them.
What?
I can prove to you that I haven't betrayed you.
It's a good thing the bridge wasn't drawn.
True.
But your ideas are always outrageous.
Yeah, and they never really work.
Sorry.
Who did...
Kagemaru...
Thanks.
Kagemaru.
Someone you know?
Uh, not really.
It seems you've been keeping things from me, Eva.
No, that's not it.
Damn Kagemaru...
What is he doing here?
Kagemaru, always playing it so cool.
He shows up, saves us, then disappears...
But I wonder if what the note says is true.
It seems that Sarah Bryant is in the depths of the castle.
The key to releasing her from her brainwashing is in her earings.
Can Eva really use earings to control Sarah?
I wonder if he's serious.
I'll trust his intentions!
Okay!
Oh no!
More of Eva's games!
Let's go!
This isn't a zoo!
Same trick again.
This is the only way out.
Suits of armor.
Yep, I knew that Eva had bad taste.
Stay alert!
What?
Oh no!
Damn, we're trapped.
It's so dark.
Maybe it's just nap time.
What's that noise?
Maybe the suits of armor are walking around.
Stop joking!
If it isn't the armor...
Jacky!
Watch out!
What is that?
Did you get a good look?
That is what we've created with your money.
A robot soldier...
The D dummy.
D dummy?
I've used all of the data I've collected on martial arts...
...and Sarah's skills, and have programmed...
...the robot to be faster and stronger than them.
Are you okay?
Now what?
That's it!
I'm trying too hard to see something that can't be seen.
If that's the case, I should have done this to begin with.
Akira!
Don't look, feel.
Feel?
With your ears, your senses...
...use your whole body...
That's it.
Got it.
Dummies number one and four destroyed.
Dummy number 5 is not functioning.
But how?
The dummies are faster and stronger than they are...
Because they are only machines...
Mr. Ryu?
So all I get for the money I invested in you...
...is a pile toys that don't even work.
I'll take care of you after I capture Pai.
Please wait, Mr. Ryu!
Ryu...
I can understand him disagreeing with my use of Sarah...
...but I won't let him mock my research...
That's it!
The last one.
All right!
Akira!
Akira can see them!
Akira, get back!
Akira!
What's the matter?
Watch out!
Akira!
Pai!
Give me the controls, now!
Never.
Watch out, Akira!
Sarah, target Kagemaru!
Pai!
Akira!
Hey!
These guys saved us.
They did!
Wait, let me down!
You got hurt because of me.
Akira...
This castle is huge, let's split up.
Okay.
I must tell them about Sarah right away.
Sarah!
What?
To be able to fight so fiercely against her own brother...
So, Eva is still useful.
Wake up, Sarah!
Don't give in to her orders or her brainwashing.
Remember the laws of Jeet Kun Do!
Be thyself, know thyself!
You have to get yourself back?
Herself?
Do you think this girl has a self?
Eva!
I chose her because she has no concept of self.
And it was you who her turned her into what she is, Jacky.
Before we brainwashed Sarah, we ran...
...a number of tests to make sure she would be...
...an appropriate test subject.
We found out that she has quite an inferiority complex concerning you.
You were the perfect big brother.
She strove to be the perfect little sister.
She wanted to be like you, and never let you down.
She didn't even realize she had lost herself in the process.
With her lack of self and her martial arts skills...
...I couldn't have asked for a more perfect candidate.
I must thank you for raising Sarah the way that you did.
How many rooms are there in this place, anyway?
Yeah, I'm tired.
Hey, you're not doing anything.
Which way?
Left.
Akira.
It's you!
Ryu.
Ryu Kaorun!
So this is the Akira Yuki who has been giving the Koenkan such a hard time.
Why, why are you here?
Of course, I've come to get you...
Pai Chan.
Never...
Not with you!
You're selfishness has caused your father's Koenkan organization a lot of trouble.
Pai, you should be more conscious of the fact that you are Lau Chan's daughter.
Give me a break!
I vowed to destroy Koenkan.
Enough of your games.
I'm not playing around!
Wait up.
Coming out of nowhere like that...
...a typical Koenkan manoeuver.
What makes you think I'm gonna let a jerk like you take Pai.
Damn it.
Kill!
Who's there?
Kagemaru!
S-Sarah!
She's out of control.
Out of control?
The sudden absence of signals from the earings is causing this.
Her original self and the self I created are conflicting with each other.
There's nothing we can do to stop it now.
You might want to get out of here.
She will start attacking people randomly.
So humans are imperfect after all.
Dr. Ivanov.
I think I understand what you are trying to accomplish with your dummies.
Ryu from Koenkan must be an outdated fool to not see how wonderful it is.
So?
I promise that the Rafale Company will back all of your research from now on.
I look forward to working with you.
Good bye.
Get back.
She's out of control.
Get out of my way.
This is between me and Sarah.
Here goes!
Sarah, I'm sorry.
It was stupid to think I could protect you forever.
It was me who was dependent on you.
I didn't respect you as your own person.
I tied you to my own dreams.
And now...
That's why I'm going to set you free.
Sarah!
Come on, Sarah!
Use your own head!
Live for your self!
Sarah!
Sarah.
Sarah!
Destroy this place as soon as I am out of here.
Then get out of here as fast as you can.
Chief, what about Mr. Ryu?
Ryu?
He can...
Where are you going?
Ryu!
You're coming with me.
What are you saying?
But the castle...
You were going to do it even if I was in there, weren't you?
Do it!
It's over.
Big brother...
Sarah.
Do you know me?
Sarah?
Sarah!
What a guy!
Pai.
The Next Episode
Just as Sarah recovered from the brainwashing, Pai gets abducted.
Hey, what's up with the serious talk?
Well, I was told that I'm not serious enough.
The "serious thing" doesn't suit you.
Hey, that's not nice.
Next episode: A Wizard and a Master.
So am I the Master?
Wrong!
It's the person Pai hates most.
He's finally making an appearance?
Yeah, and a drunk old wizard too.
Sounds like another intense episode.
