Original subtitles

Jun...

This rain is bitter...

It tastes like rust...

The wind and oil has caused your heart to wither.

I guess that's one way of putting it.

So, what happened?

The bosses have been meeting for the past three days.

Through three long sunsets.

The guys all adore you and would go with you if they could.

But they came round in the end.

Okay, so this has a happy ending.

Jun!

Don't cry, Miyabi. My mind's made up.

You like this song, don't you?

- The Riders That Were Left Behind -

"Chigasaki Route 134"

"Kanagawa Prefecture" "Namiuchigiwa High School"

"Handicrafts Club"

"Biker life"

Eguchi got here first and he's actually getting some work done.

You been possessed by a demon or something?

It's the end of the world as we know it.

Don't sound so surprised.

It's that "Boys, beat your drum hard" spirit.

Don't you mean, "Boys, be ambitious"?

I wonder about that.

You don't even know what that means, do you?

I just don't get all this embroidery and knitting stuff...

How's he find that interesting?

Whether we understand or not, it's just part of his charm, isn't it?

Is he fickle? Or is he just a man of mystery?

He used to be feared by all as the 2nd gen leader of the Shounan Bombers.

But he mellowed out and developed a taste for handicrafts.

Now he goes by Handicrafts Eggy.

By the way, Eguchi, what are you making?

So, what is it?

Hey, what's the big secret? Tell me already!

"Life is brief. Fall in love, maidens."

Excuse me, how's this?

Well... let's see.

Wouldn't it be better if this was cross-stitched?

This is a bit orthodox, but how about a button hole stitch here?

But you know, maybe he just appreciates the fairer sex.

Dumbass, he's nothing like you.

Whatever his reasons, they don't make sense to us.

That's just how he is.

It didn't make much sense when we decided to follow Eguchi either.

Year 1, class A, Shiyou Middle School's former boss, Marukawa Kakuji.

Class C, Kinen Middle School's former boss, Harasawa Yoshimi.

Class B, from the same Kinen Middle School, Sakurai Shinji.

Class D, former boss of Akashio Middle School, Ishikawa Akira.

So, now that we're acquainted, I've got a proposal.

I mean, if the four of us get together, we can be unstoppable​.

I'm already unstoppable.

This is really something.

All the middle-school heavy hitters are in the same school.

This is just a waste of time.

What's that, shit for brains?!

Wanna go? I ain't some wuss.

How about you calm down, huh?

We could all gang up and run this school.

If we do that, we can really raise some hell here.

I'm done here.

What's the deal, Ishikawa? Don't you think it's a good idea?

I don't work well with others.

Isn't one leader enough for this school?

Pretty words from a pretty boy.

I agree with him.

You guys are so full of shit!

Just forget about it. I'll end up being the boss anyway.

After all, I'm being backed by the Bombers.

The Bombers?

Wait, you were able to get in?!

Into the Bombers?

Yeah, that's the plan.

So, you are full of it.

I knew it! You do want to belong to a gang.

The Bombers are different!

They're a gang among gangs, they only accept real racers!

I got my license in middle school to practice my ridin' all so I could join 'em!

I did the same thing!

Same here!

M-My birthday hasn't come yet, but I'm planning on it!

It's a competition then.

They don't let just anybody in!

That's fine with me!

But they say that the leader, Momoyama Mako, retired alongside the other members.

I heard that too, but something doesn't sit right with me.

Who's that guy?

Never seen him before.

Hey, wait! You not even gonna say hi?!

Sup!

That's "Hello, sir!" Who the hell do you think you're talking to?!

Cram it, dipshit.

Why you...

Leave him to me...

You punk! You shouldn't be wearing that unless you're a biker!

Let's go!

You son of a...!

You're not getting away with this.

W-Wait a minute.

L-Look at his collar.

That's the Bombers' mark, isn't it?!

Wh-Who the hell are you?!

The Shounan Bombers' second generation leader!

Eguchi Yousuke!

I had the taste of my own blood in my mouth, but I'd never felt so at ease.

But Akira just wouldn't let it go, would he?

Well, yeah, I'd never backed down from someone before that.

Over here, the baseball club! Here's the baseball club!

Next person, please.

- Here. - Here.

Oh, you first.

Oh, thanks.

Are men not allowed?

N-No, go ahead.

I'll catch you later, then.

Mieroshi Hitsujinosuke?

I think it's meant to be Eguchi Yousuke?

There's a fight!

That was a pretty good punch.

Don't think I'm an easy mark because I'm quiet.

That hurt, asshole!

What if I can't eat lunch because you hurt my face?!

Harasawa, you okay?!

This guy's really tough.

Hey, leave him alone!

He's had enough!

Don't gimme that shit!

Power is everything in this world!

No matter how cool someone is,

if you make 'em bleed, you can make 'em kneel!

That's how it's always been!

I'm not gonna let some clueless dickhead like you be the leader of the Bombers.

I'm not being bad because I wanna be!

But do one bad thing and that's all adults end up seeing!

That's why I'm gonna be bad to the bone!

You stupid bastard! That's why you're acting like this?!

Let 'em think what they want!

You act tough to protect what's most important to you!

That's what being a man's all about!

Isn't that what being a man is about?!

This ain't a show, so get lost.

Finally someone interesting.

I guess I'll stick around for a bit.

Harasawa, you took the words right outta my mouth.

Sure seems that way, huh?

I might regret this, but I'm coming too.

- Hey~! - Over here~!

Hey, Eguchi~!

Eguchi!

You're still doing that?

Is being in a biker gang really that great?

Eguchi, you have a talent for handicrafts.

All the awards we have are because of you, you know?

What's more, you have many wonderful friends here.

You became the head of the club because you liked it, didn't you?

To be a biker... Why do you have to do something so uncivilized?

Is it really that great?

Yeah, it's the best.

After the meetup, you can race home on the coastline at dawn.

When dawn comes, everything looks purple, from the buildings to the sky.

You just ignore everything else and drive.

If you do that, the scenery slowly levels out...

You're all alone, in the purple...

That's the best part.

I do like handicrafts, but a gang is just a different kind of thing.

I still think you're better off in the Handicrafts Club.

I like it better when you're not angry.

This is for you, Tsuyama.

Happy birthday.

Eguchi, thank you...

Oh, I thought your birthday was next month?

Wh-Wh-Wh-What?!

We haven't done this in a while, have we, Eguchi?

Yeah, it's nice to stretch your legs once in a while.

Kamakura's pretty far away. You can just walk me to Enoshima, you know?

It's fine, I just kinda feel like it.

Anyway, you hungry?

Sure am.

Well then, I'll take you to my favorite place. My treat.

Okay, let's go!

"Ramen Shop" "Gentle-men"

Welcome!

Oh, if it isn't the new boss.

Hey!

Order whatever you want.

I don't have much money, but I've got a tab here.

Okay.

So, Eguchi, got yourself a girl, huh?

No, it's not like that! She's a friend from my club.

Isn't youth a wonderful thing?

Back when I was young, I always used to give 'em this-and-that too.

This-and-that?

He's one of the older gang members.

Whatcha getting?

Fried rice sounds good.

Shige, fried rice and miso-ramen. Extra large, okay?

Moron, call me Master. Master...

Eguchi...

Hey.

Is that shirt I asked for finished yet?

Oh, here.

I knew I needed to have Eguchi's embroidery work to look my best.

It's so cute...

I can hardly believe it!

Master! Put Eguchi's ramen on my tab!

Eguchi, you're really popular, aren't you?

Well...

Sorry for the wait.

By the way, Eguchi, is the team doing alright?

Yeah, not bad.

That so? Well, I'm not one to question your methods.

But it must be hard bein' his girl, huh?

S-Shige...

Eh? look at this guy, he's getting all red!

I-I'm sorry about that, Tsuyama.

It's okay.

Shall we eat?

As soon as I take my eyes off you, you fly off somewhere.

Just like the flirtatious summer wind, I can never catch you.

Why am I overcome by emotion when I think of you?

I can't say it very well, but these shaky feelings must be love...

Eguchi, why don't we hang around at Kamakura Beach for a while?

Your family would get angry at me if we did.

It's fine, I live near the beach anyway.

So then, seaside wind, please be sure to send my heart to him.

Take this, and that!

Eat this!

You're in for it now!

Now you've done it!

- C'mon, bring it on! - I'll show you!

Okay, okay, time out.

Tell him "Even though you're a little rough, I like your childish smile."

Take that!

You get serious so easily.

I had fun.

Well then... see you tomorrow.

Yeah, take care of yourself, okay?

Tsuyama.

Your eyes are pretty, you know?

Oh, short-sighted people all look like this.

Goodnight, my honey angel.

Did he... mean that the way he normally would?

I couldn't see his face...

Alright, shoot!

Shoot!

Ah, I'm so tired...

Yoshiko, what happened to your glasses?

Something happened with Eguchi yesterday, didn't it?

O-Of course not...

Yoshiko, our leader's fooling around again!

And he passes to Akira!

He shoots!

Hey! Why don't you guys actually clean?!

Eguchi, you're coming to the club room once you're done, right?

No, not today. We're all riding home together.

They're useless, aren't they?

Yeah.

You'll be fired as club president, you know?

Hey!

Our summer's just gettin' started!

"Shounan Bombers"

"Kanagawa Prefecture Police" "803rd Mobile Traffic Unit"

This is an emergency announcement! What appears to be the Shounan Bombers,

are racing down route 134 from Chigasaki to Enoshima.

I repeat! What appears to be the Shounan Bombers,

are racing down highway 134 from Chigasaki to Enoshima.

This is Momoyama.

All units patrolling in the area, prepare to arrest.

Not that it'll do any good.

Look, a cop is goofing off!

Shut up, I'll have you arrested!

This is unit 30. We've spotted another biker gang!

They're on the same road going in the opposite direction!

What?! It's not the Bombers?!

No, the flag is different. It's black and red with a skull on it.

It's Hell's Legion!

If they keep going, they'll collide around Ippon-Matsu Beach.

That's the worst case scenario.

They're pretty fast, aren't they? They keep pulling away.

Why are we going the speed limit in a police car?!

Get out of the way!

Eguchi... how time flies...

I never thought we'd be on the same route...

You do this on purpose?

We weren't exactly expecting this either.

Now get out of the way.

Go past if you think you can.

Don't act tough, Eguchi. Just apologize and join our group, then I'll let you off.

What was that, you bastard?! Don't gimme that shit!

Alright, let's see if you're still breathing after this!

Go get 'em!

I'll take you punks on!

Alright!

Goddammit!

How're we getting our asses kicked with this many guys?!

Gonda, you and me!

Fine by me, Eguchi!

B-Bring it on!

Don't show off and back up at the same time, you dipshit!

Sh-Shut up!

Look, it's the cops!

Let's split!

Everyone, let's beat it!

Gotcha!

Hey, stop right there!

"Yokosuka" / "Jogashima"

Stop! Hold it right there!

Hey! Since when do cops get to ride like that?!

Shut it! I used to be in a gang!

Hey, Gonda!

What's wrong, Slownan Bomber?!

Now's our chance! Let's race to settle this!

Whatcha mean?!

If we follow this road, we'll get to Jogashima!

Whoever gets there first wins!

A-A race on public roads?!

What's wrong? You scared or somethin'?

Y-You crazy dumbass, that's you! I'd quit while you still can!

Fine! First one to Jogashima!

Let the race begin!

He's not half bad...

150 km/h!

N-No wonder my tears are going into my ears...

There's a car stopped in the middle of the road!

Gonda, get out of the way!

Be careful! There's a massive difference in speed!

Since when was I going 170 km/h?!

In that case, he should be...

Mt. Fuji looks pretty good upside down.

H-Hey! What are you doing?!

Damn it, there's a hairpin coming up.

Hey, Gonda! Wake up, Gonda!

Gonda, you piece of shit!

Fine!

Fine! I lost, I lost the race!

Wake up!

What... so, I won?!

This was all part of Eguchi's skillful, psychological plan to manipulate Gonda's twisted sense of rivalry. m 0 0 l 200 0 l 200 400 l 0 400}

I beat Eguchi!

Shut up, you jumped-up little shit!

What?!

"Notice of disbandment"

Y-You've got some nerve.

Okay, so tonight's meeting is your last, huh?

So, you're using the south route.

You're not settling things with the rest of those Shounan punks, are ya?

I want to finish this clean.

Our men are out arranging it.

What about the Bombers?

Well, that team has a name for themselves, so I'm going to...

Alright, just don't clash with Eguchi.

170 bikes and 30 cars.

The Hustle Jets, whose territory covers all of Yokosuka, are finally on their way out.

He had the same eyes as Eguchi.

You should've seen Gonda!

He pissed his pants!

Hey, don't talk about stuff like that in front of Tsuyama!

Hey, lovebirds!

Tamiko!

Ah, what's this? When did you two become an item?

Hey, don't say it like that!

I just asked Ishikawa to help me out with the shopping. That's all!

More importantly, Eguchi, we need to talk.

What? They pissin' together?

The Yokosuka Hustle Jets?

I was passing by on my way home, and overheard.

They've given the cops notice.

That must be one hell'uva shit.

Oh, that sounds like a straight pipe.

Who is it?

Well, it's got nothing to do with us.

But they were the main group on the east side.

Without the Jets, other groups might go through Yokosuka and aim for our territory.

No matter who it is, if they cross us...

...we'll put 'em down.

Eguchi.

Guess the Bombers weren't shit, after all.

There's no way some piss-dribbling loser would beat me, is there?

Wait a minute.

It's the Jets.

Let's jump 'em!

We can't let them act on our turf, can we?

Wait, we'll see what's going on first, then ambush them or apologize.

We've gotta think this through.

This plan's kinda of sad, isn't it?

Isn't that a shame?

Well then, we'll be passing through tonight.

But, greeting all of the gangs... are you really that afraid of Shounan?

We're not afraid of the Bombers or anyone else.

You sure talk big for a team that's breaking up.

You might be a big name in Yokosuka,

but ain't you just breakin' up because you're scared of the cops?!

Come on. You want a piece of me?

Don't make us fight. We want to end this clean.

And we haven't given in to the cops!

Our leader is going to America to follow his dreams!

I see, this is the perfect chance, isn't it?

My brilliant idea will crush Eguchi into the dirt.

You sure you've thought this through?

Yeah, I'll spare you the details, but I'm dead serious.

Hey, you guys hear that?

Didn't see this comin'.

Even though I was going to night school and working on a plant,

I must admit, the Jets were what I really lived for.

But even amidst the smell of the oil and the sound of the pipes,

I couldn't stop dreaming of being on an American base.

What am I living for? And what will I die for?

Once I thought of that, I couldn't just stand still.

I just wanted to go somewhere with open spaces.

And then America appeared before me.

To me, the smell of oil and the sound of pipes are like Vitamin C.

All a matter of perspective.

Just look at those two grinning at each other.

But it's rare to see Eguchi talking away like that.

Well, in a way he and Eguchi are alike.

Idiots like that tends to have something in common.

Not that I'd expect women to understand...

Anyway, she looks kinda lonely...

She's your girl, right? Call her over here.

Hey, Miyabi, you gonna come over here?

Everyone's waiting for you.

Is it that time already? Well, we'll be breaking up in no time.

So, we're just passing through your turf, but I've made that clear.

A Z2, huh? Nice machine.

Eguchi, don't mean to repeat myself, but I want to end this cleanly.

Shut up, I heard you. I don't like loose ends.

Yeah? Me neither.

I'll tell you my name again, I'm Mamurasaki Jun.

This is the leader of the ladies, Miyabi Youko.

They turned out to be pretty nice guys, didn't they?

Let's take the long way back.

What?

Hey, Fujinami!

You guys know we're the Jets and you're still trying to pick a fight?!

That's what other gangs get for ridin' around here.

No, we just came here to see Gonda from Hell's Legion.

Gonda? He's on a trip...

Wh-Who the hell are you?!

The Shounan Bombers!

Jun!

Jun!

Mamurasaki.

Fujinami! Hey!

He's asleep right now.

Jun...

Where's Arakawa?

I think we got separated on the way back.

Did you hear?

Yeah, just outside.

It's a red star, no doubt about it.

It was in his pocket.

He probably grabbed onto it.

Everyone's gathered at Rinkai Park.

Let's just end it here...

Miyabi, what do you think?

It's definitely their mark, but we were just with them, so when...

It was when we were taking the back roads...

There would have been time!

Jun!

But... but we should at least have the farewell party! We all decided to!

I'm asking your opinion as the leader of the ladies.

We've... got to settle this...

Mamurasaki, let's just have the party.

We'll do the res—

Get me my jacket!

Get your shit together!

What?

According to someone who saw, about ten guys beat them up.

Where?

The Tsujidou parking center.

What?! That's not our territory!

How can they blame us?!

The head of the group had sunglasses and a mustache, it was probably...

Gonda...

It's got to be Hell's Legion!

That bastard, he was trying to start a fight between us and the Jets.

How long before the Jets get here?

If they leave on time, they'll get here in 30 minutes.

We'll have to fight, won't we?

Well, if we don't go out, he'll just come charging in.

I'm sorry.

What are you doing, Yoshiko? You'll cut your hand.

Hey, this place is for eatin' ramen.

If you want to talk about gangs, do it outside.

Go on.

Shige... what's wrong with you?

Go on!

What's wrong?

Eguchi, don't let Tsuyama see your true colors.

Not everyone thinks it's cool.

Shige...

What is this? We're all students, aren't we?!

What's all this about "territory" and "someone's gonna get hurt"?

Why can't they just talk about it?

Making noise in the middle of the night and bothering people for fun.

What kind of team is that?! What kind of friends do that?!

Out your system yet?

I know! I'll call the police and get them to stop it.

Just let them do it their way.

And I'm not defending gangs here.

But putting it down to 'youth' or that they're born from society's flaws,

is the perspective of adults who know nothing but business.

But...

We're going to meet the Jets at the beach.

We may get into a fight, but we'll show them that we've got guts!

Listen up! Today's farewell party has been canceled!

We're gonna go trash the Bombers!

Sometimes a man's blood boils over. That's just how they are.

Even still, violence isn't the answer!

I'm sorry, Eguchi...

I thought that I understood, I'm sorry...

"Zushi" / "Misaki"

Huh?

Eguchi!

Serves you right, red star... Shounan Bom... bers...

Well, it sure is quiet tonight, huh?

There's not a single biker in sight.

Boss, if we're here, we'll have front-row seats to Eguchi's ass-kickin'.

Damn it. Why does this make me feel like shit all of a sudden?

T-T-The Jets are here!

Hey, what's that?!

Bikers! And there are hundreds of them!

Let's get out of here! They'll get us!

Man oh man! This is something else!

"Kamakura - 11 km" "Zushi - 7 km"

Just how many are there anyway?!

Hey, Gonda, with that many, even the Bombers can't...

Gonda.

All this time, I've only ever thought of beating Eguchi.

G-Gonda...

But this isn't a showdown with me, it's—

Eguchi! Stay away!

Go block civilian vehicles, don't let anyone through!

Right!

Yeah, let's go!

How could you ruin our farewell party?!

You've got some nerve coming here!

Yo, Mamurasaki, what's that look on your face?

You're not trying to fight with us, are you?

You street punk, what did you do to my men?!

Let's see... I don't remember doing anything...

Eguchi...

Hey, Eguchi's bleeding from that fall back there.

He shouldn't even be able to talk.

That's why we'll back up his incredible guts.

Eguchi, I thought myself happy to meet an idiot like you before leaving for America!

To meet a real bastard like you, who defied all logic.

But in the end, you were just some jumped-up little shit!

I ask for peace and you jump my men! You call yourself a man?!

Gonda, what are you doing?

If your head itches, you can wash it later!

Shit! Dammit!

Is that right? No matter what I say, it's too late.

It's too late, even if we tell them about Hell's Legion.

They're both too hot to listen.

We'll have to do it.

No getting 'round it.

Only five of them? That's nothing.

I know Eguchi, but I know the other guys too.

The guy with the zig-zag in his hair is the former head of Akashio Middle, Ishikawa Akira.

He fought five punks and became really famous for it.

On the left is former head of Shiyou Middle School, Marukawa Kakuji.

The second from the right is Kinen Middle School's Sakurai Shinji.

On the right is another guy from Kinen, the incredibly strong Harasawa Yoshimi.

What? So they're all the baddest of the bad, huh?

Why are they all in a team together?

They must've discovered something in Eguchi that's better than being bad.

Like how we admire Mamurasaki?

Would people like that really attack our men?

It's too late now!

Alright! You get forty each!

Wait a minute!

I was too late...

Yo, you made it.

I was taking these two home but...

They're worried, so if you don't mind...

Why don't you come along?

Gonda, you really screwed up this time.

I was only thinking of defeating Eguchi... but I got carried away.

Trying to own up to it was when your luck ran out.

Let's kick the shit out of these guys!

I knew this plan was too stupid...

Getting beat up by 200 people must hurt...

Mamurasaki, now we know who did this. Let's get him!

Hey, I don't think they're playin' around.

I know! I just thought that destroying the Bombers was worth it!

But... I want to be a man too!

Looks like I jumped to conclusions too quickly.

But, Eguchi, you're one strange guy.

Why didn't you tell me?

Okay, leave them to us, now we c—

I don't wanna hear that shit!

You picked a fight with me, remember?!

Hey... I don't want to fight you anymo—

What?! After all that big talk?!

You too, Gonda!

What was all that shit about being a man?!

I'm burning up inside!

I feel like a cylinder head could burst right out of my skull!

I wonder if we'll make it...

5:00 a.m. at Yokohama Pier? No problem.

But why do you think they'll go to the pier instead of fighting?

Call it a hunch.

"Yokohama" / "Kamakura"

You serious?

If you're so proud of being a biker, then race me.

Win or lose, that would settle all this!

H-Hey... you're hurt...

We doin' this or not?

Alright, my blood's boiling too!

Bring it on!

What the hell's going on?

Maybe we're off the hook?

I see... so you're gonna pity me?

You could beat me within an inch of my life, and I still wouldn't feel better.

But I'm not gonna let you pity me like that.

Gonda!

You done feeling sorry for yourself?

You comin' or not?

E-E-Eguchi, y-y-you mean it?!

'Course I do.

You already put your life on the line once, right?

Damn right. We're not just a bunch of punks.

Bikers settle things by racing!

G-Gonda, if you race them, you'll eat pavement for sure!

Yeah! You're damn right!

But I have a feelin' I won't be doing my laundry after this!

Alright! Where's the finish line?!

Yokohama Pier!

Alright, we're goin' too!

Let's make some noise!

Yeah!

Just look! Everyone's following Eguchi!

No, it's all three of them.

Gonda's kind of unreliable, but I'm glad I was with him.

Hell's Legion is going too!

Yeah!

When the gangs get rough and things can't get settled,

the leaders usually end up racing.

But Miyabi, from what you've told me about Mamurasaki, he's just like Eguchi.

Even if the truth comes out, words alone won't be enough to cool everyone off.

If that happens, they'll use their bikes.

The sound of a straight pipe is the only language they understand.

See, I knew it! And Gonda's with 'em too!

Jun! Jun!

Eguchi! Eguchi!

The asphalt goes on forever.

You guys couldn't have given me a better send off.

It's the passion road that leads to our desires.

Thanks, you guys!

We're not racing for anyone else.

We're just in love with speed.

Our motto is, let's go! (Hey machine)

Let me hear the engine beat that makes your heart pound.

Shige... I can... I can see America!

Half-hearted riders get left behind!

What? You can't be that tired already.

It's not that late...

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Ride on dream! Faster than the wind!

Ride on dream! Believe in tomorrow!

Keep going forward and don't turn back.

Keep on rolling, rolling kids!

(Go for a break) Because right now is,

(Go for a break) the best time to follow our dreams!

So long, Jun. Good luck...

Ride on dream, into the wind, ride on dream!

Aim for tomorrow and swing with all your might!

Keep on rolling, rolling kids!

(Go for a break) Run for your dreams...

Shounan! Chase the stars!

Shounan! Race 'till dawn!

Shounan! Until the taillights become stars!

Jackets blowing in the wind...

Driving in the middle of the crazy night.

Everyone looking cool with their punk face,

making jokes on the rock 'n' midnight highway.

Hairpin curves show who's brave,

like circus performers we're all psyched up!

We all follow our dreams.

Okay! Highway punks in the wind!

Shounan! Chase the stars!
