Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:01:43,436 --> 00:01:46,481
Baki headed to the hideout with me.
2
00:01:50,110 --> 00:01:51,110
It was strange.
3
00:01:52,070 --> 00:01:53,947
It was a residential area,
4
00:01:54,030 --> 00:01:57,951
but it was full of graffiti
like a public restroom in the city.
5
00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:00,495
And if you looked closely
6
00:02:00,578 --> 00:02:03,081
most were smears against Baki.
7
00:02:03,164 --> 00:02:04,499
BAKI, YOU BASTARD
8
00:02:04,582 --> 00:02:06,709
There's so much graffiti.
9
00:02:07,544 --> 00:02:10,046
They don't stand a chance against me,
10
00:02:11,381 --> 00:02:13,383
so they fight through graffiti.
11
00:02:14,592 --> 00:02:16,761
The strongest high schooler in the world.
12
00:02:21,850 --> 00:02:23,309
Graffiti even on your house.
13
00:02:31,734 --> 00:02:34,863
Baki began to stretch in his room.
14
00:02:35,363 --> 00:02:37,240
His body was unbelievably flexible.
15
00:02:41,244 --> 00:02:43,288
Um, about what you said earlier.
16
00:02:44,581 --> 00:02:48,835
About your shadow-boxing opponent.
17
00:02:49,377 --> 00:02:50,378
Yeah.
18
00:02:50,920 --> 00:02:55,049
That Iron Michael was only a warm up.
19
00:02:57,468 --> 00:03:00,513
You're going to fight your father, right?
20
00:03:01,389 --> 00:03:05,560
My old man and I don't
really see eye to eye.
21
00:03:06,144 --> 00:03:08,813
Your father is strong, isn't he?
22
00:03:12,233 --> 00:03:16,070
The unequivocal champion
over all life on Earth, bar none.
23
00:03:16,779 --> 00:03:19,574
Lions, tigers, elephants, orcas...
24
00:03:20,283 --> 00:03:22,160
even cancer cells are no match for him.
25
00:03:23,578 --> 00:03:27,498
His father was supposed to be an enemy,
but when he spoke of his strength,
26
00:03:27,582 --> 00:03:30,084
he sounded a little proud for some reason.
27
00:03:31,794 --> 00:03:35,048
So, to prepare to fight your father
28
00:03:35,131 --> 00:03:37,592
you're going to meet
this strong opponent now?
29
00:03:38,468 --> 00:03:40,511
A man who surpasses even Iron.
30
00:03:40,595 --> 00:03:42,096
What kind of monster is he?
31
00:03:42,931 --> 00:03:43,931
Hey.
32
00:03:45,391 --> 00:03:46,559
He's in here.
33
00:03:49,229 --> 00:03:51,773
Is that a basement?
34
00:03:59,656 --> 00:04:01,324
It's empty and dark.
35
00:04:01,908 --> 00:04:05,245
A barren room with only
the table over there.
36
00:04:07,372 --> 00:04:08,373
Um...
37
00:04:09,540 --> 00:04:11,960
My old man acknowledged me as an opponent.
38
00:04:13,169 --> 00:04:16,130
He apparently fought against
a dino-sized African Elephant.
39
00:04:17,757 --> 00:04:20,510
Stronger than a lion,
tiger or brown bear,
40
00:04:21,094 --> 00:04:24,264
the strongest, biggest
African Elephant on Earth.
41
00:04:27,976 --> 00:04:30,895
In that case, who should I fight?
42
00:04:39,570 --> 00:04:40,570
It's coming!
43
00:04:45,076 --> 00:04:46,076
Rumina,
44
00:04:46,703 --> 00:04:49,914
the opponent stronger
than an elephant is already here.
45
00:04:49,998 --> 00:04:53,293
It's been here on that desk.
46
00:04:58,006 --> 00:05:00,883
Huh? What?
47
00:05:02,510 --> 00:05:04,387
Stronger than an elephant?
48
00:05:04,470 --> 00:05:05,470
This guy?
49
00:05:07,974 --> 00:05:09,600
Um, this...
50
00:05:10,768 --> 00:05:12,603
That's right, a praying mantis.
51
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:15,565
This?
52
00:05:16,441 --> 00:05:19,068
When it comes strictly
to fighting one-on-one,
53
00:05:19,152 --> 00:05:21,237
insects are the pros among pros.
54
00:05:21,321 --> 00:05:22,822
Beasts don't compare.
55
00:05:23,865 --> 00:05:25,199
No way.
56
00:05:25,283 --> 00:05:26,909
I'm not pulling your chain.
57
00:05:28,244 --> 00:05:30,580
First, their power is on another level.
58
00:05:30,663 --> 00:05:33,333
Power?
59
00:05:34,083 --> 00:05:39,339
Tigers and lions barely manage
to drag an approximately 800 kg prey.
60
00:05:39,922 --> 00:05:43,843
Even if they weigh 200 kg,
that's three to four times their weight.
61
00:05:43,926 --> 00:05:46,095
Then how about insects?
62
00:05:46,846 --> 00:05:48,890
They carry prey seven to eight times
63
00:05:48,973 --> 00:05:52,643
their weight and easily transport them
long-distance, nonstop to their lair.
64
00:05:53,686 --> 00:05:56,356
Let's say you weigh 30 kg, Rumina.
65
00:05:56,939 --> 00:06:01,361
Imagine carrying a 200 kg man
from school to home.
66
00:06:02,445 --> 00:06:04,614
Yeah, that's impossible.
67
00:06:05,740 --> 00:06:09,410
A deer that can jump
ten meters isn't uncommon,
68
00:06:10,203 --> 00:06:13,539
but it's child's play compared
to a flea or grasshopper.
69
00:06:15,124 --> 00:06:17,210
If they were human-sized,
70
00:06:17,293 --> 00:06:20,129
they could easily jump
over a ten-story building.
71
00:06:21,130 --> 00:06:22,965
You feel it when you hold them.
72
00:06:23,591 --> 00:06:26,636
They weigh a few thousand times
less than us,
73
00:06:27,261 --> 00:06:30,640
yet your fingertips feel their power.
74
00:06:31,599 --> 00:06:34,143
If you weighed the same,
you'd never beat them.
75
00:06:35,061 --> 00:06:36,896
If you were kicked by that leg,
76
00:06:37,730 --> 00:06:40,983
or held by those front legs and pinned...
77
00:06:42,235 --> 00:06:44,195
If you were caught in those tusks,
78
00:06:44,946 --> 00:06:46,656
you wouldn't walk away in one piece.
79
00:06:48,491 --> 00:06:50,076
And that praying mantis.
80
00:06:54,539 --> 00:06:56,624
He is the consummate pro fighter.
81
00:06:57,750 --> 00:07:01,087
It's a well-known fact the ancient
Chinese martial art of Mantis Boxing
82
00:07:01,170 --> 00:07:04,382
was created in the style
of the praying mantis.
83
00:07:04,882 --> 00:07:06,217
Their blow,
84
00:07:06,300 --> 00:07:08,386
their grind, their bite,
85
00:07:08,469 --> 00:07:10,096
their violent nature.
86
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,598
They're top-notch in all they do.
87
00:07:13,599 --> 00:07:15,309
They have no weakness,
88
00:07:15,393 --> 00:07:16,769
a complete martial artist.
89
00:07:18,438 --> 00:07:20,440
If they weighed over 100 kg,
90
00:07:21,190 --> 00:07:23,568
they would definitely prey
on the African Elephant.
91
00:07:24,735 --> 00:07:26,988
But, it's small...
92
00:07:27,864 --> 00:07:29,115
I'm going to make it big.
93
00:07:30,283 --> 00:07:31,534
To a hundred kilograms?
94
00:07:32,118 --> 00:07:34,537
With this and this.
95
00:07:35,329 --> 00:07:36,998
He's from faraway America.
96
00:07:37,081 --> 00:07:39,208
In fact he no longer even exists.
97
00:07:39,292 --> 00:07:42,545
But I brought the champion
Iron Michael from the heyday
98
00:07:42,628 --> 00:07:44,297
to the Tama River riverbank.
99
00:07:45,423 --> 00:07:48,551
Michael doesn't exist in this world,
but he appeared.
100
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:50,845
I can create it.
101
00:07:52,472 --> 00:07:56,392
I can create a match
with a 100 kg praying mantis.
102
00:08:12,742 --> 00:08:13,742
He moved!
103
00:08:14,285 --> 00:08:16,662
It's the kick that beat Iron Michael!
104
00:08:23,002 --> 00:08:24,921
Baki is nervous.
105
00:08:25,505 --> 00:08:29,467
He's nervous of an invisible,
imaginary praying mantis
106
00:08:29,550 --> 00:08:31,552
created in his mind.
107
00:08:32,637 --> 00:08:34,430
The angle of his face changed.
108
00:08:35,014 --> 00:08:36,015
He's looking up.
109
00:08:37,016 --> 00:08:39,852
What sort of monster does he see?
110
00:08:50,238 --> 00:08:51,697
It's just like Baki said.
111
00:08:52,406 --> 00:08:54,242
A 100 kg praying mantis
112
00:08:54,325 --> 00:08:58,371
is far stronger
than a 200 kg tiger or lion.
113
00:09:07,296 --> 00:09:09,715
Th-This is...
114
00:09:10,299 --> 00:09:11,299
No way!
115
00:09:12,301 --> 00:09:13,301
Could it be?
116
00:09:14,554 --> 00:09:16,889
He's caught by the praying mantis!
117
00:09:20,059 --> 00:09:21,227
He hit his mark!
118
00:09:22,103 --> 00:09:22,937
It's dead!
119
00:09:23,020 --> 00:09:24,230
A clean hit!
120
00:09:30,736 --> 00:09:35,741
He should just turn the praying mantis
weak and easily beatable.
121
00:09:36,534 --> 00:09:38,536
He should just crush it.
122
00:09:39,328 --> 00:09:41,455
He's so tough on himself.
123
00:09:46,752 --> 00:09:50,256
Normal martial arts
won't work against a real mantis.
124
00:09:51,048 --> 00:09:54,176
Baki's moves were slowly
becoming something else.
125
00:09:55,553 --> 00:09:58,848
Baki is moving in a dim room.
126
00:10:00,516 --> 00:10:02,518
He's attacking empty air.
127
00:10:02,602 --> 00:10:06,272
He's blocking attacks from empty air.
128
00:10:06,355 --> 00:10:07,481
I watched him,
129
00:10:08,107 --> 00:10:10,026
trying not to miss a thing.
130
00:10:10,610 --> 00:10:13,613
I kept following Baki's dizzying moves.
131
00:10:14,905 --> 00:10:15,905
I kept watching...
132
00:10:17,617 --> 00:10:18,617
And then...
133
00:10:20,161 --> 00:10:21,787
Just as if you see a case,
134
00:10:21,871 --> 00:10:24,290
you could picture
the shape of what goes in it.
135
00:10:24,874 --> 00:10:29,378
Or if you see a cover,
you could picture the size of the book.
136
00:10:30,379 --> 00:10:32,173
Or with a pendant like this,
137
00:10:32,256 --> 00:10:35,092
you could picture another similar pendant.
138
00:10:36,510 --> 00:10:37,637
You begin to see
139
00:10:38,888 --> 00:10:40,640
within the empty space,
140
00:10:41,641 --> 00:10:42,808
slowly...
141
00:10:44,060 --> 00:10:46,729
The form of something that doesn't exist.
Slowly...
142
00:10:47,897 --> 00:10:50,941
Slowly, but surely...
143
00:10:52,985 --> 00:10:54,111
you begin to see!
144
00:10:54,695 --> 00:10:56,656
What Baki created,
145
00:10:56,739 --> 00:10:59,075
was just a bug, but it was over 100 kg.
146
00:10:59,700 --> 00:11:02,578
When you're actually faced with it,
147
00:11:02,662 --> 00:11:04,789
it almost makes you laugh,
148
00:11:04,872 --> 00:11:06,582
you feel so hopeless.
149
00:11:07,708 --> 00:11:11,337
Baki was openly facing such a thing!
150
00:11:14,548 --> 00:11:16,676
It's the strongest in the world,
151
00:11:16,759 --> 00:11:21,639
so Baki's father apparently
beat a dino-sized African elephant.
152
00:11:22,348 --> 00:11:25,643
But no matter how strong
the African elephant may be,
153
00:11:26,477 --> 00:11:29,730
it has that advantage because of its size.
154
00:11:31,190 --> 00:11:34,485
If they were the size of an insect,
155
00:11:34,568 --> 00:11:36,404
their strength would be that of a...
156
00:11:37,697 --> 00:11:38,698
Caterpillar.
157
00:11:40,491 --> 00:11:42,034
It happened suddenly...
158
00:11:43,494 --> 00:11:45,037
Baki's specialty high-kick.
159
00:11:45,913 --> 00:11:47,498
The speed, the timing,
160
00:11:47,581 --> 00:11:49,041
everything was just right!
161
00:11:49,625 --> 00:11:51,544
I expected a knockout.
162
00:11:57,591 --> 00:11:59,301
I see.
163
00:12:02,012 --> 00:12:04,223
My bad hunch was right.
164
00:12:05,141 --> 00:12:08,728
The head of a praying mantis
essentially has no brain.
165
00:12:10,771 --> 00:12:14,775
Concussions don't happen
like they always do in humans.
166
00:12:15,234 --> 00:12:17,278
Attacks to the head don't work.
167
00:12:20,364 --> 00:12:21,532
He did it!
168
00:12:21,615 --> 00:12:23,784
Don't let it go!
169
00:12:24,869 --> 00:12:26,036
What's this?
170
00:12:27,496 --> 00:12:29,290
He's watching me.
171
00:12:30,124 --> 00:12:33,377
I've got its back,
but he can clearly see me!
172
00:12:33,461 --> 00:12:34,461
Not only that,
173
00:12:35,045 --> 00:12:36,797
it's frighteningly deft!
174
00:12:38,924 --> 00:12:40,551
I'll be eaten!
175
00:12:45,765 --> 00:12:47,516
It's so strong!
176
00:12:49,143 --> 00:12:52,521
Crazy to have a strength contest
against an insect!
177
00:13:01,989 --> 00:13:03,032
No matter...
178
00:13:03,657 --> 00:13:04,950
No matter who the opponent.
179
00:13:05,785 --> 00:13:08,662
Human, beast, or insect,
180
00:13:08,746 --> 00:13:10,372
it won't change what I do.
181
00:13:11,081 --> 00:13:12,833
There's only one thing to do.
182
00:13:13,501 --> 00:13:14,501
Fight...
183
00:13:15,544 --> 00:13:16,544
Fight...
184
00:13:17,463 --> 00:13:18,463
like usual!
185
00:13:19,673 --> 00:13:21,425
It's so hard!
186
00:13:22,885 --> 00:13:24,428
It's like steel!
187
00:13:25,763 --> 00:13:26,889
But I'll do it!
188
00:13:31,435 --> 00:13:33,270
No matter what, I'll do it!
189
00:13:34,188 --> 00:13:36,106
I'll do it even if nothing happens!
190
00:13:36,774 --> 00:13:39,193
Sudden deaths and weaknesses
can go to shit!
191
00:13:40,945 --> 00:13:42,613
I'll do what I can!
192
00:13:43,948 --> 00:13:44,948
He got it!
193
00:13:45,366 --> 00:13:48,118
A human got ahold of
a mantis's reverse joint!
194
00:13:49,286 --> 00:13:50,286
Break it!
195
00:14:07,388 --> 00:14:11,058
Martial arts doesn't work on it!
196
00:14:14,395 --> 00:14:16,272
This isn't normal.
197
00:14:16,355 --> 00:14:18,315
He doesn't have to go so far.
198
00:14:18,983 --> 00:14:22,653
As effective as it may be
to realistically imagine an opponent,
199
00:14:23,237 --> 00:14:25,781
in reality,
there's no one in front of him.
200
00:14:26,407 --> 00:14:29,910
He's diligently using
his imagination in this empty space
201
00:14:30,452 --> 00:14:34,331
to create an illusion to fight it.
202
00:14:35,124 --> 00:14:37,293
It's not a match or battle,
203
00:14:37,376 --> 00:14:39,837
he doesn't need to take it this far.
204
00:14:40,504 --> 00:14:41,797
Baki, no more!
205
00:14:41,881 --> 00:14:43,340
You've done enough!
206
00:14:43,924 --> 00:14:46,343
No need to go so far, Baki!
207
00:14:46,427 --> 00:14:48,554
This is silly!
208
00:14:51,181 --> 00:14:52,683
He's no longer listening.
209
00:14:54,476 --> 00:14:56,270
My worries aside,
210
00:14:56,353 --> 00:14:58,814
it became even more realistic.
211
00:15:00,941 --> 00:15:03,444
You could almost feel its temperature.
212
00:15:11,535 --> 00:15:12,578
Just as I thought.
213
00:15:13,245 --> 00:15:15,956
With those eyes, it has no blind spot.
214
00:15:16,624 --> 00:15:18,751
No matter what direction it's facing,
215
00:15:18,834 --> 00:15:22,546
every corner of this room
is within his field of vision.
216
00:15:23,380 --> 00:15:24,965
There's no where to run.
217
00:15:26,675 --> 00:15:27,718
To run?
218
00:15:28,427 --> 00:15:31,221
Am I here to run away?
219
00:15:32,389 --> 00:15:33,474
With him too?
220
00:15:33,557 --> 00:15:37,478
Am I going to look for a place to run
when I fight him too?
221
00:15:39,563 --> 00:15:40,981
You've gotta be kidding.
222
00:15:41,065 --> 00:15:42,149
Think!
223
00:15:42,232 --> 00:15:44,610
A way to fight a praying mantis!
224
00:15:51,659 --> 00:15:53,911
I felt it under its neck.
225
00:15:53,994 --> 00:15:55,454
A soft spot.
226
00:15:56,330 --> 00:15:58,540
The attack I used, was this.
227
00:15:59,792 --> 00:16:01,710
This is Toroken!
228
00:16:07,508 --> 00:16:09,927
I guess I'll give it a try.
229
00:16:14,890 --> 00:16:17,726
Once upon a time, in China.
230
00:16:20,813 --> 00:16:23,816
There was a priest named, Shu Amon.
231
00:16:24,900 --> 00:16:26,568
Hm, what is that?
232
00:16:27,361 --> 00:16:31,198
One day, he saw something
extraordinary in the forest.
233
00:16:33,242 --> 00:16:34,242
What?
234
00:16:34,743 --> 00:16:36,745
A fight between a bird and insect?
235
00:16:37,413 --> 00:16:39,832
A sparrow versus a praying mantis.
236
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,420
The sparrow will win
no matter how you look at it.
237
00:16:45,921 --> 00:16:46,921
Huh?
238
00:16:47,631 --> 00:16:48,631
What?
239
00:16:49,633 --> 00:16:50,968
Oh my, oh my!
240
00:16:52,511 --> 00:16:54,430
To Amon's surprise,
241
00:16:54,513 --> 00:16:57,182
the praying mantis was the victor.
242
00:17:00,519 --> 00:17:03,105
I never expected the insect to win.
243
00:17:04,565 --> 00:17:05,565
Like this?
244
00:17:06,358 --> 00:17:07,609
Is it like this?
245
00:17:09,319 --> 00:17:13,115
The praying mantis's strength
struck Amon deeply,
246
00:17:14,241 --> 00:17:18,370
and he began to diligently research
their way of fighting.
247
00:17:20,456 --> 00:17:22,041
Until finally,
248
00:17:22,708 --> 00:17:25,419
he created a martial art.
249
00:17:27,087 --> 00:17:29,173
The name of that martial art is of course,
250
00:17:29,798 --> 00:17:32,092
Toroken!
251
00:17:34,678 --> 00:17:36,764
Baki changed his stance.
252
00:17:37,723 --> 00:17:38,849
That stance,
253
00:17:40,476 --> 00:17:44,563
seemed a mimicry of the praying mantis
rather than a fight pose.
254
00:17:47,232 --> 00:17:49,526
The world of martial arts is savage.
255
00:17:50,861 --> 00:17:54,073
There are ways of thinking
unimaginable in other sports.
256
00:17:55,115 --> 00:17:59,119
What exists in martial arts,
but not in other sports?
257
00:17:59,703 --> 00:18:00,703
That is...
258
00:18:01,371 --> 00:18:02,998
"Which is stronger?"
259
00:18:04,208 --> 00:18:08,087
There's no way baseball
and basketball would fight.
260
00:18:10,047 --> 00:18:11,882
But martial arts is different.
261
00:18:12,966 --> 00:18:15,052
The same style fights, of course.
262
00:18:16,637 --> 00:18:18,764
But they can fight other styles too.
263
00:18:20,224 --> 00:18:22,226
They can even fight other species.
264
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:27,981
The inquiring human mind's
pursuit for strength runs deep.
265
00:18:29,650 --> 00:18:33,737
It's moved on from other species
to imaginary giant insects.
266
00:18:36,281 --> 00:18:38,492
And Baki has finally,
267
00:18:39,034 --> 00:18:41,036
made a 360 from
the world of other species,
268
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:43,872
and stepped into the world
of same species martial arts.
269
00:19:04,309 --> 00:19:05,853
It's getting closer.
270
00:19:05,936 --> 00:19:07,312
Did you see, Rumina?
271
00:19:08,230 --> 00:19:11,525
They don't have
a natural enemy among insects.
272
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,027
The end is drawing near.
273
00:19:15,362 --> 00:19:18,157
They've never received an attack.
274
00:19:18,699 --> 00:19:21,326
Their attacks are strong
and extraordinary,
275
00:19:21,410 --> 00:19:23,287
but they're empty-handed in defense.
276
00:19:24,121 --> 00:19:26,039
Move aside, Rumina.
277
00:19:27,875 --> 00:19:29,293
Baki is gonna win.
278
00:19:36,967 --> 00:19:39,303
This move...
279
00:19:42,181 --> 00:19:45,601
I'm starting... I'm starting to see it now.
280
00:19:46,143 --> 00:19:50,606
I thought this perfect all-around
martial artist was impenetrable.
281
00:19:51,106 --> 00:19:55,360
But within that figure here and there,
I see room to take advantage of.
282
00:19:57,571 --> 00:20:02,075
I see glimpses of
a clear weak point in that movement.
283
00:20:02,659 --> 00:20:03,911
Have I gotten used to it?
284
00:20:05,454 --> 00:20:06,955
To this fight?
285
00:20:07,539 --> 00:20:08,539
My body...
286
00:20:09,666 --> 00:20:10,834
is adjusting!
287
00:20:13,003 --> 00:20:17,466
My body is telling me
how to deal with him.
288
00:20:19,092 --> 00:20:21,136
Baki has changed somehow.
289
00:20:22,346 --> 00:20:24,890
His expression is somehow relaxed.
290
00:20:25,891 --> 00:20:26,891
His moves...
291
00:20:28,185 --> 00:20:29,269
somehow,
292
00:20:29,811 --> 00:20:31,063
aren't reckless.
293
00:20:32,564 --> 00:20:33,564
It was already...
294
00:20:34,650 --> 00:20:38,695
not mantis to mantis, but something else.
295
00:20:40,822 --> 00:20:41,822
Yes.
296
00:20:43,116 --> 00:20:45,577
It was like watching a bird
versus the mantis.
297
00:20:47,246 --> 00:20:49,206
The mantis that was so violent,
298
00:20:49,706 --> 00:20:51,333
now just keeps running.
299
00:20:52,167 --> 00:20:54,419
Baki seemed even more relaxed.
300
00:20:54,503 --> 00:20:56,922
He used to keep looking up,
301
00:20:59,258 --> 00:21:02,552
but the next thing I knew,
his gaze was lower than level.
302
00:21:04,054 --> 00:21:05,097
Rumina.
303
00:21:05,806 --> 00:21:07,599
If you find its weak point,
304
00:21:08,100 --> 00:21:10,435
it doesn't matter if it's
100 kg or life-sized.
305
00:21:18,694 --> 00:21:19,945
It disappeared!
306
00:21:20,028 --> 00:21:22,864
Now, where is the real one?
307
00:21:22,948 --> 00:21:25,158
Aha, there you are.
308
00:21:33,917 --> 00:21:34,917
Gotcha.
309
00:21:38,922 --> 00:21:40,048
There's no denying it!
310
00:21:40,757 --> 00:21:42,884
It's Baki's total victory!
311
00:23:13,308 --> 00:23:17,187
