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 and his friends finally rescue Pai...
...but who should show up but Lau Chan, the leader of Koenkan.
You have no compassion for others.
You have no right to claim that you are a martial artist...
Lau, you lose.
Lau punishes Ryu for corrupting Koenkan.
He also takes responsibility for his own wrongdoings and dissolves Koenkan.
But in the meantime, Eva had succeeded in launching Dural.
The Eight Stars!
Dural is something like a clone of Sarah.
You should feel lucky that you will die at the hands of such a machine.
This...
This is Dural.
Now, Dural.
Your targets are Jacky, Kagemaru, and Sarah.
Jacky!
Just as powerful as I expected.
Now Dural, prove it to me.
Prove to me that I was not wrong in believing in you.
Where are you going Lau?
Ryu isn't anywhere in sight.
Hey, neither is Jacky.
He needs to pay for his crimes.
It's my duty, as his master, to see that he does.
Hey, mister, wait a minute.
You're not going to beat the crap out of him again, are you?
Don't worry, beating him is not my job.
Oh, good.
Sarah.
That's enough, run!
I'm not letting you get away.
Sarah, now's your chance, run.
Alexander!
Where's Sarah?
Sarah, Kagemaru!
Jacky!
Crap.
You witch!
It's one of your...
No!
Don't compare her to the dummies.
Eva.
The dummies were nothing more than tools to gather data from you.
It was quite amusing to watch you gloat over your victories, having no idea...
What?
Thank you, Akira Yuki.
It was because of you all that I was able to create her.
The ultimate fighting machine, Dural.
Crap.
Akira!
Akira?
I've been waiting for you, Lau Chan.
Who are you?
The famous master of Chinese martial arts...
Leader of the Koenkan, Lau Chan.
If she can defeat you, she's complete.
Go Dural!
Fight at full strength!
What do you think of Dural?
Eva!
Ryu!
You're still...
Yes, unfortunately.
That robot...
It could do such a thing to Lau...
Why are you acting so shocked?
You're the one who wanted to get rid of Lau.
Don't worry, I'll make sure to get rid of him for sure this time.
Dural has no doubts about fighting.
When she hurts people, or kills them...
Her only goal is the acquisition of power.
She strives to attain ultimate power.
Dural and Koenkan are after the same thing, as are you.
Power is everything.
Power has control over everything.
That was your motto, and you lived by it.
So then, get down on your knees...
...before the ultimate power that is Dural!
Akira!
Lau!
What's this?
Don't tell me you're suddenly awakening to the meaning of being his disciple?
So that's the kind of man you are after all.
Unable to shut off his feelings and turn his heart to stone, a mere mortal.
Dural, show this pitiful man what true power is.
Cut it out!
Dural!
Yes!
Ryu!
Was I wrong?
Ryu.
I thought I could do anything if I only had power.
Why did my power...
Ryu, you...
I wanted to be like you...
Master, like you...
...just like you...
...strong like you...
Warm...
It's the sun...
Master, you...
I wanted...
...to be like this, like this...
Ryu!
Hey, Ryu!
Ryu!
Are you finished with your teary goodbye?
Eva!
Then it's your turn next.
Shut up!
Woman, I will not forgive you!
Dural!
Lau!
I don't understand, that's my technique!
How does it feel to be on the receiving end of your own technique?
You see, Dural has the ability to input her opponent's moves as data...
...and make them her own.
Go ahead, Lau Chan.
Give it all to Dural.
And follow in the footsteps of your beloved disciple.
Shut up.
Father!
I've done it, I was right!
She's the ultimate soldier!
I've created a god!
What?
Dural?
Yes, she said she was going to launch it.
I haven't heard from her since, so I have no idea what's happening.
What the hell is she doing?
I do know that all of the fighters there are the best.
Knowing her, she will want to collect all of their data.
It's not safe here.
B-But...
You don't give up, do you, Akira Yuki?
Your techniques have already been inputted.
But you still want to fight her?
You really want to die that badly?
Fine then.
Thanks to Lau, her power has increased significantly.
Fight Dural, fight!
Damn!
That's it, stronger and stronger!
Dural!
That's enough!
Give it to me, Eva!
I guess this is it.
Give me the remote.
What, this?
Akira!
What is...
Kagemaru, you still don't get it, do you?
She's out of control, just like Sarah was.
However, it's much worse this time.
She has no soul to appeal to.
Nobody can stop her now.
Since I am the only one who knows what data has been inputted...
...I am the only one who knows what she will do.
You bitch!
Akira!
Are you all right, young one?
Akira.
Damn it all!
No, you can't fight anymore.
Get out of the way, Pai.
You idiot!
Pai.
If you continue to fight...
...you'll die.
I don't want you to die.
Don't die!
Pai.
Thank you, Pai.
Akira.
But...
...if it turns out that a machine is the strongest...
...what have we been fighting for?
If the heartless martial arts robot is stronger than we are...
...what was the point of everything?
Our struggles amount to more than this.
That's why, that's why I can't leave this alone.
Akira!
What can't you leave alone?
Eva!
Decades of training are worth nothing against Dural.
That is reality.
True power doesn't require a heart.
The heart is where the weak run and hide.
Gramps!
Mister!
This world is a survival game.
Only those who win survive.
A game?
You still can't reach her?
N-No.
Professor Durricks, Professor Durricks!
Professor Durricks, can you hear me?
Professor Durricks?
You're wrong!
People fighting...
People surviving...
It's not a game!
If that's what you think, then let's see you defeat her.
Defeat Dural!
Akira!
Not yet!
Akira!
I guess this is it.
I wonder if there is no point...
So everything that we fought for was for nothing.
All of it?
Stop it!
Am I...
...going out like this?
Do not give up!
Grandfather!
Believe in your power.
There is no limit to the power of man!
Do not give up.
Never give up, do whatever it takes to live.
So that you can catch the stars of the future with your own two hands.
Grandfather!
That's right!
If I give up...
...everything will amount to nothing.
Akira!
I'm not giving up.
I will believe in myself!
In my friends, and their dreams!
It can't be!
That's why I...
I'm going to win!
Hogeki unshin soko sho!
This is a combination technique that is entirely Akira's alone.
He strikes the enemy first with Hoken...
...moves to her back using Yoshisenrin...
...shifts positions, and then strikes with Sosho.
It is far more lethal than Tetsuzanko.
No enemy stands a chance against this manuever.
Akira!
It's not possible!
Dural losing to one measly man!
It is unthinkable that he has the power to out-manuever Dural's input power.
It's not possible!
In the end, it's only a machine.
What?
There is no way a machine could even come close to the power of mankind!
Stop!
Damn!
We've got to get out of here.
Right!
What a waste.
A total waste.
But if data is what we're after, there're a million ways to get that.
So long as I have the data, someday I'll succeed.
That's the end of Koenkan.
Ryu.
Don't forget this grief.
Not this time.
Do not forget your grief, overcome it.
Only then can you move into the future.
The future.
Sounds like something my Grandpa said.
The one who told you about the eight stars?
Yeah.
The eight stars that can only be seen by those who possess true strength.
I wonder if I'll ever see them again.
Someday...
You had a good teacher.
So long as you don't forget what you are feeling now, you will see them again.
You will, and so will everyone else.
Someday...
Someday I will find them...
My eight stars.
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.
