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, Jacky and Sarah head for Hong Kong to go after Pai, who'd been taken...
...to Koenkan headquarters.
Pai...
I don't want to forget.
Not about Akira!
And the man he hates most...
The man he wants dead...
...is you, Lau.
It can't be.
And, who should be waiting for Akira upon his arrival in Hong Kong, but...
Evil City Hong Kong
You...
Yan Weimin.
I don't appreciate being mistaken for my ugly older brother.
I am his younger brother, Yan Honron.
His younger brother?
I have no intention of letting you pass.
Look, I'm in a big hurry.
Buh bye!
Sir Yan...
Are you okay?
I don't have time for you right now.
That's right.
After them, go!
I can't believe it...
I wonder if he has a lot of other brothers.
No way!
This isn't the time to be pondering stupid things like that.
But...
No buts about it!
My drink...
Are you okay?
Really, gramps here shouldn't be drinking so early in the day.
Sorry Grampa.
I think I may have spilled just a little.
You, you're in pretty good shape.
Hold it!
Hey, stop!
Oh no, they're still after us.
Run!
Up we get...
Who the hell is that old man?
Out of the way, you old fart!
Get him!
What, that old man is a martial artist?
I'll show him!
Gramps!
Zabantetsu!
In the face of a charging enemy, one dodges...
By simply sitting down.
There isn't a better technique to throw off an enemy who is intent on fighting.
You!
Winning isn't the only thing of importance.
It is also necessary...
...to experience losing.
He reminds me of my grandfather.
Let's get out of here.
Yeah.
Stop, right there!
Hurry.
Akira, hurry.
Okay!
Oh no.
What?
Don't tell me...
I don't have any change.
How could you be worried about that right now.
Not to worry, this ride's on us!
Oh no!
A Koenkan charter!
What a cute bride.
Mr. Ryu, you must be pleased.
Now Koenkan will be all mine.
The wedding guests will be made so see that the era of Ryu has arrived.
You will attend too...
...under guard.
Damn!
It's really hard to fight in such a small space.
It's the same for them too.
That's why there are so many of them.
Now what?
In this case...
...we'll have to get out in the open.
I get it, the roof!
I'm not gonna let that happen!
Oh god, I get car sick even without the rough ride!
Akira, Jacky!
I'm falling, I'm falling!
No, don't.
Akira!
Thanks.
Look, the city.
He'll have to slow down.
Then we can jump off.
No way!
That is so low.
Okay fine, then we'll...
I guess...
...we're screwed.
Looks that way.
Oh, Mr. Guardman...
May I have a drink?
Just one.
Sorry...
Are you okay?
Yes.
I'm very sorry.
What are you doing?
Get over here.
Can you hear me, Professor lvanov?
Will you please help me escape?
Yes, I have it with me, the Dural case.
If we move, I wonder...
...what would happen?
I wonder.
That's it.
Swallow Squad here.
We've got the three, and we're headed to you.
Not bad!
Let's get out of here!
You're not getting away.
Sorry!
Sorry.
Hey, watch it!
Get them!
Sorry, sorry!
Big brother!
What's going on over there?
Phew, saved.
Mr. Policemen, we're being chased by bad...
We've got you now.
No way...
Even the cops are Koenkan!
Run!
Where'd they go?
Now!
Damn, Koenkan everywhere.
This whole town is our enemy.
You can feel the weight of this wedding in the air.
I wonder where Pai's wedding is.
Who knows. Gathered here, are the...
We need to find her, fast. ...cream of high society.
What is it, Akira?
From Koenkan Headquarters in Victoria Park, Hong Kong Island, we're broadcasting...
This is...
The bride and groom are walking towards the altar.
Sighs of admiration and awe inspired by the beautiful bride can be heard...
Pai.
Don't move.
Damn.
Are you going to keep bothering us?
Leave us alone.
I hope Pai wasn't brainwashed like I was.
Pai.
My father is trying to wed me to Ryu Kaorun.
They can't control people's hearts.
Even if you have been brainwashed, I'll save you, Pai.
How dare you make a fool of me.
I won't forgive you!
Yan Honron.
God, I'm sick of his face.
Over here.
We can get to Hong Kong Island with this.
Let's go!
Don't fight, it's useless.
What, do you think it's hopeless?
Exactly!
Alexander!
What the hell?
Come on!
How dare you!
Capture them, they will be wedding gifts for Master Ryu.
We can run from them and go to Hong Kong Island.
Jacky, are you sure you can drive this thing?
If it's got an engine and a steering wheel...
...I can drive anything.
Shoot them!
You dirty bastard!
Look behind us!
Okay...
Here goes!
Don't forget I'm a professional racer!
Uh, don't forget I'm no good on moving vehicles.
Look, Hong Kong Island.
This is the Bay Squad.
We've been destroyed!
They're headed your way, don't let them escape!
Here they come!
They're headed straight for us!
Wow!
First I get seasick, then I go for a swim in freezing cold water!
This should throw them off.
Or not.
Big brother...
Let's split up.
Sarah!
I'm fine, you and Akira go to their headquarters.
What are you saying?
You're coming with us.
Like I said, I'm choosing my own path.
Please trust me.
As your equal.
Sarah!
There she is, she's one of them.
Akira, you've got to save Pai.
Idiot, she's trapped.
Let's go!
Okay!
End of the road.
Die!
That's...
It's you!
I've come to help you.
Thank you, but why me?
I've decided to fight for the things worth protecting.
That's all.
Let's go!
Yes!
Jacky, what are you doing?
Huh?
The wedding is in the building across the street.
Yeah, but I gotta get rid of them.
What are you going to do when we get to the top?
How should I know?
I'll figure it out then.
Pai.
Now, as a symbol of eternal love, please exchange rings.
Love, I have no need to love.
The power I gain with her hand is all I need.
Fool, Pai isn't even brainwashed.
Now, the show's about to begin.
Now, before God, as a vow of love...
...you may kiss the bride.
Kiss...
Kiss?
What the hell?
Eva!
Ryu, how dare you?
Shut up.
Give in!
You will be my bride.
Give it up!
Or shall I throw you off this building?
That is one man who just doesn't know when to quit.
Damn!
Congratulations on getting this far.
But I am not going to let you disrupt Master Ryu's wedding.
Stop it!
The ceremony is as good as completed.
All we need to do is kiss.
Help me Akira!
Now I will finish this!
It's all or nothing!
No chance!
I am not like my brother!
Who cares!
This is not happening!
Pai!
Akira.
What?
Who is that?
Akira.
Akira!
Pai!
Akira!
What took you so long, Akira?
There was traffic.
But I made it, right?
You dummy.
Akira Yuki.
Welcome to my and Pai Chan's wedding.
Why don't we entertain the guests with a real fight...
Let's go, you and me.
Akira!
You didn't have to ask.
Akira!
That's...
Lau.
What?
Finally, the leader of the Koenkan makes his appearance...
...Lau Chan.
A battle is about to erupt here in Hong Kong.
What will the fate of Akira, Pai, and the others be?
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
So you're finally here.
So which is it?
What?
Well, sometimes you're the narrator, and sometimes your Pai's enemy.
You're all over the place!
I know, it's awful, can I vent for a minute?
But old people's gripes are so long winded.
Hey now, wait a minute!
Next Episode of Virtua Fighter...
Launch D.
If that's all you have to complain about, you've been trained well.
Um, I'll be in it too.
What, Ryu, you're still here?
