1
00:00:26,547 --> 00:00:31,677
BAKI-DOU: THE INVINCIBLE SAMURAI
2
00:01:43,124 --> 00:01:45,626
The paleontologist, Dr. Albert Payne,
3
00:01:45,709 --> 00:01:47,795
made an emergency trip to Japan.
4
00:01:48,796 --> 00:01:51,799
It's Pickle. I've no doubt about it.
5
00:01:52,383 --> 00:01:56,303
What do you make of the giant creature?
The one that Pickle took as prey?
6
00:01:56,387 --> 00:01:58,430
It seems giant to us,
7
00:01:58,514 --> 00:02:00,683
but for Pickle,
I'm afraid it was nothing more
8
00:02:00,766 --> 00:02:03,060
than a sitting duck
just waiting to be eaten.
9
00:02:03,144 --> 00:02:05,104
If you're convinced it's Pickle,
10
00:02:05,187 --> 00:02:07,648
how do you explain
his disappearance in the past?
11
00:02:07,731 --> 00:02:09,817
How has he survived all of this time?
12
00:02:10,609 --> 00:02:12,069
By living in the sewers.
13
00:02:12,153 --> 00:02:14,071
Uh... the sewers?
14
00:02:16,407 --> 00:02:19,785
The extensive sewage systems
beneath a city as large as this one
15
00:02:19,869 --> 00:02:21,579
are comparable to his jungle habitat.
16
00:02:22,246 --> 00:02:25,332
There is a consistent flow
of warm water passing through,
17
00:02:25,416 --> 00:02:27,710
and the temperature and humidity
are quite stable
18
00:02:27,793 --> 00:02:30,004
regardless of the seasons above.
19
00:02:30,087 --> 00:02:33,632
Exotic pets purchased on a whim
often grow far larger than expected
20
00:02:33,716 --> 00:02:35,718
and become overwhelming for the owner.
21
00:02:35,801 --> 00:02:39,847
And with no other options, they often turn
to discarding their pets in the sewers.
22
00:02:39,930 --> 00:02:42,183
Animal cruelty? Hardly.
23
00:02:42,266 --> 00:02:44,852
These creatures actually thrive
in those conditions.
24
00:02:45,561 --> 00:02:46,604
Alligators.
25
00:02:47,313 --> 00:02:48,355
Lizards.
26
00:02:48,939 --> 00:02:50,107
Turtles.
27
00:02:50,691 --> 00:02:51,859
Giant serpents.
28
00:02:51,942 --> 00:02:54,361
Indeed, a vast number
of tropical creatures
29
00:02:54,445 --> 00:02:57,865
call the tangled network
of underground Tokyo their home.
30
00:02:57,948 --> 00:03:00,576
Now that we've confirmed
Pickle lives underground,
31
00:03:00,659 --> 00:03:03,370
what's your suggestion
for the best course of action?
32
00:03:03,454 --> 00:03:05,873
There is no need
to discuss or debate this.
33
00:03:05,956 --> 00:03:08,626
That man is a unique specimen
in human history.
34
00:03:09,335 --> 00:03:11,170
It should be plainly obvious.
35
00:03:11,253 --> 00:03:13,214
He must be captured immediately.
36
00:03:13,714 --> 00:03:15,925
A suggestion the government took seriously
37
00:03:16,008 --> 00:03:18,135
as they issued an order to the police.
38
00:03:18,219 --> 00:03:21,889
The department assembled
a unit of 91 riot officers.
39
00:03:22,681 --> 00:03:25,976
Under Dr. Payne's direct orders,
as might be expected,
40
00:03:26,060 --> 00:03:28,395
they prepared over five tons
of chloroform.
41
00:03:28,479 --> 00:03:31,899
Pickle's last known location
was the focal point of the operation.
42
00:03:32,775 --> 00:03:34,610
Within a radius of over half a mile,
43
00:03:34,693 --> 00:03:37,905
they released the chloroform
into the sewers all at once.
44
00:03:39,990 --> 00:03:41,158
It didn't take long
45
00:03:41,242 --> 00:03:44,536
before the surrounding passageways
were filled with the gas.
46
00:03:48,958 --> 00:03:51,043
Yes, I can see him now.
It is Pickle!
47
00:03:51,126 --> 00:03:52,753
It's the primitive man!
48
00:03:52,836 --> 00:03:54,713
And I can confirm from experience,
49
00:03:54,797 --> 00:03:57,049
this is the same man
that I saw the other day.
50
00:03:57,132 --> 00:03:59,468
It's said he can kill a tiger
with his bare hands,
51
00:03:59,551 --> 00:04:01,303
the fiercest fighter of the Cretaceous!
52
00:04:01,387 --> 00:04:04,181
They're going to transport him, but where?
53
00:04:04,890 --> 00:04:07,726
The authorities involved
remained firmly tight-lipped,
54
00:04:07,810 --> 00:04:10,229
and seem unwilling to speak to the media.
55
00:04:11,647 --> 00:04:14,066
I've never smelled anything like it.
56
00:04:14,149 --> 00:04:17,486
He's a sewer-dwelling transient
who's almost seven feet tall.
57
00:04:17,569 --> 00:04:19,822
It's not surprising at all
that he'd come with an odor.
58
00:04:19,905 --> 00:04:21,323
Yes, of course.
59
00:04:21,824 --> 00:04:23,575
You're right, sir. Sorry.
60
00:04:24,410 --> 00:04:26,412
There's no need to apologize.
61
00:04:26,495 --> 00:04:28,831
I must say, this is an amazing facility.
62
00:04:28,914 --> 00:04:32,334
It is located 366 meters below Skytree,
63
00:04:32,418 --> 00:04:35,004
which means
we're 1,000 meters from the apex.
64
00:04:35,087 --> 00:04:39,341
It may not be officially recognized,
but I think it's the best in the world.
65
00:04:39,425 --> 00:04:41,593
I have to agree.
66
00:04:41,677 --> 00:04:43,846
Apologies for the delay.
67
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,098
Tokuga...
68
00:04:46,181 --> 00:04:48,600
Musashi Miyamoto!
69
00:04:48,684 --> 00:04:50,394
Oh, hello, Tokugawa.
70
00:04:50,477 --> 00:04:52,855
Huh? They... they know each other?
71
00:04:53,689 --> 00:04:54,857
Uh-huh.
72
00:04:54,940 --> 00:04:57,526
So he's been hunting
in the sewers to survive?
73
00:04:57,609 --> 00:04:59,236
That's very Pickle, isn't it?
74
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,031
Roaming through all those pipes
and canals...
75
00:05:02,114 --> 00:05:03,991
Now he's king of the urban jungle.
76
00:05:05,951 --> 00:05:08,620
You're strangely quiet, Musashi?
77
00:05:09,538 --> 00:05:12,124
So he's famous? This primitive man?
78
00:05:12,207 --> 00:05:15,544
{\an8}Yes, in fact,
he's well-known all over the world.
79
00:05:15,627 --> 00:05:18,630
{\an8}According to some, he's known
as the strongest man on Earth.
80
00:05:19,548 --> 00:05:20,382
Huh...
81
00:05:29,391 --> 00:05:30,476
Musashi...
82
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,148
What?!
83
00:05:36,231 --> 00:05:39,401
What in the hell
do you think you're doing, Musashi?
84
00:05:39,485 --> 00:05:41,153
Why would you do that?!
85
00:05:41,945 --> 00:05:43,655
Is he crazy?
86
00:05:43,739 --> 00:05:45,157
Look at him.
87
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,659
I slapped him square in the face
with full force,
88
00:05:47,743 --> 00:05:49,745
and yet, he's still asleep.
89
00:05:50,245 --> 00:05:52,414
Hmm...
90
00:05:58,545 --> 00:06:00,422
Ah, now that's reassuring.
91
00:06:04,510 --> 00:06:06,762
That strike should have taken
his head clean off.
92
00:06:06,845 --> 00:06:10,099
{\an8}- But the blade was stopped.
- You mean you cut him?
93
00:06:10,182 --> 00:06:11,934
He has the most impressive neck.
94
00:06:12,643 --> 00:06:16,980
Once, in a display for the Shogun,
I cut through eight corpses in one slash.
95
00:06:18,023 --> 00:06:20,526
My strength carried the blade
through six arms,
96
00:06:20,609 --> 00:06:22,986
and even split the execution platform
in the process.
97
00:06:23,654 --> 00:06:26,990
In my time, I was showered
with endless praise and acclaim.
98
00:06:27,950 --> 00:06:30,035
I was on top of the world.
99
00:06:30,619 --> 00:06:32,037
But here, in the modern era,
100
00:06:32,996 --> 00:06:36,041
I was unable to sever
Yujiro Hanma's collarbone.
101
00:06:36,750 --> 00:06:38,252
And now this man,
102
00:06:38,335 --> 00:06:41,547
who managed to stop my blade
with the bone in his neck.
103
00:06:41,630 --> 00:06:44,133
{\an8}A veritable fortress of muscle.
104
00:06:45,801 --> 00:06:48,053
Pickle, was it? I think you understand,
105
00:06:48,137 --> 00:06:50,055
It was me who cut you.
106
00:06:50,139 --> 00:06:52,391
But I couldn't end your life...
107
00:07:14,413 --> 00:07:18,417
He's quite the beast.
He might just make for a proper rival.
108
00:07:37,686 --> 00:07:42,107
Typically my sword slash can cut
through even the toughest armor with ease.
109
00:07:42,191 --> 00:07:45,110
I sensed it the moment
the blade touched his skin.
110
00:07:45,194 --> 00:07:48,572
There's something different
about the way his muscles respond.
111
00:07:49,072 --> 00:07:52,951
My attacks can't penetrate deep enough
to reach his organs or bones.
112
00:07:54,203 --> 00:07:55,370
Just look.
113
00:07:55,454 --> 00:07:58,332
I was convinced
I'd dealt him serious wounds.
114
00:07:58,415 --> 00:08:00,876
But all he's left with
are shallow bruises.
115
00:08:01,710 --> 00:08:04,379
In that moment, Pickle recalled his past...
116
00:08:05,714 --> 00:08:06,673
...his world...
117
00:08:10,302 --> 00:08:13,680
There, he'd often face prey
over a hundred times his weight.
118
00:08:13,764 --> 00:08:15,849
Doubtless formidable foes all,
119
00:08:15,933 --> 00:08:19,561
but among them,
one was particularly troublesome.
120
00:08:19,645 --> 00:08:22,189
Small in stature, but fast,
121
00:08:23,273 --> 00:08:24,942
and agile to boot.
122
00:08:25,025 --> 00:08:27,945
But this creature's
most dangerous attribute
123
00:08:29,071 --> 00:08:31,949
were the enormous claws on its hind legs.
124
00:08:33,784 --> 00:08:36,161
And Pickle knew them well.
125
00:08:36,245 --> 00:08:39,456
The T-Rex, while a predator,
was also known to scavenge.
126
00:08:40,249 --> 00:08:41,959
But not this dinosaur.
127
00:08:42,668 --> 00:08:43,919
It was only satisfied
128
00:08:44,002 --> 00:08:46,213
with the most vigorous,
most ferocious prey.
129
00:08:48,715 --> 00:08:50,217
Quarry so large and menacing
130
00:08:50,300 --> 00:08:52,928
that it often put itself
in mortal danger in pursuit.
131
00:08:53,428 --> 00:08:54,721
Hmm.
132
00:08:55,389 --> 00:08:59,101
The memories of this creature
came flooding back to Pickle.
133
00:08:59,184 --> 00:09:03,522
Known as Deinonychus,
this man reminded him of that monster.
134
00:09:07,651 --> 00:09:09,111
This is our testing lab.
135
00:09:09,194 --> 00:09:12,364
After the clones' birth,
we test their motor functions here.
136
00:09:12,447 --> 00:09:15,367
The floor is made of rubber,
and the walls duralumin.
137
00:09:16,076 --> 00:09:17,869
They can hold nothing back in here.
138
00:09:17,953 --> 00:09:19,621
Now wait a minute.
139
00:09:19,705 --> 00:09:21,623
You can't be serious!
140
00:09:21,707 --> 00:09:24,042
We have a scientific marvel
standing before us
141
00:09:24,126 --> 00:09:26,628
in the form of a clone
of Musashi Miyamoto.
142
00:09:26,712 --> 00:09:28,130
Hmm?
143
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,132
And then we have Pickle,
144
00:09:31,133 --> 00:09:35,012
a primitive man extracted from
a rock salt layer a half a mile thick!
145
00:09:35,095 --> 00:09:38,140
He's said to have hunted dinosaurs
during the Cretaceous period.
146
00:09:38,223 --> 00:09:40,934
He's nothing short
of a paleontological miracle!
147
00:09:42,060 --> 00:09:44,730
Gentlemen, you are about to make
a grave mistake.
148
00:09:44,813 --> 00:09:47,316
You stand to lose at least one,
if not both
149
00:09:47,399 --> 00:09:49,901
of these scientifically
historical wonders!
150
00:09:50,777 --> 00:09:54,156
Musashi Miyamoto or Pickle,
which of them is stronger?
151
00:09:54,656 --> 00:09:58,076
Are you really willing to sacrifice
something so irreplaceable
152
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,912
to satisfy such a childish bit
of curiosity?
153
00:10:02,497 --> 00:10:04,666
It's time for all of you to wake up!
154
00:10:04,750 --> 00:10:07,169
Doctor, there's no need
to raise your voice.
155
00:10:07,252 --> 00:10:09,421
I couldn't be more cogent.
156
00:10:09,504 --> 00:10:11,548
We have two highly honored guests,
157
00:10:11,632 --> 00:10:15,427
the mightiest warrior of the Cretaceous
and the world's greatest swordsman.
158
00:10:17,512 --> 00:10:19,973
The swordsman wants to know
who of them is stronger,
159
00:10:20,057 --> 00:10:22,684
while the warrior wants
to eat the swordsman.
160
00:10:22,768 --> 00:10:25,103
I consider myself very lucky to be here.
161
00:10:25,187 --> 00:10:27,064
If you have no interest in watching,
162
00:10:27,147 --> 00:10:29,900
then may I suggest
that you see yourself out.
163
00:10:29,983 --> 00:10:31,193
Let me be clear.
164
00:10:31,276 --> 00:10:34,738
{\an8}I will not allow anyone
to interfere with this experiment.
165
00:10:37,074 --> 00:10:40,327
I suppose you were expecting
some logic-spouting old man
166
00:10:40,410 --> 00:10:42,621
with no fangs to bite back with?
167
00:10:42,704 --> 00:10:45,123
From the moment I heard
Tokugawa would be attending,
168
00:10:45,207 --> 00:10:46,208
I was concerned.
169
00:10:46,958 --> 00:10:48,377
Knowing what I know of you,
170
00:10:48,460 --> 00:10:51,171
I was able to deduce
what you might be planning.
171
00:10:51,254 --> 00:10:53,715
And it seems my hunch was correct.
172
00:10:53,799 --> 00:10:57,135
As an envoy invited into the country
by the state,
173
00:10:57,219 --> 00:10:59,721
customs didn't even bother
inspecting my luggage.
174
00:11:01,807 --> 00:11:06,770
Now, let's all just calm down
and put an end to this silliness.
175
00:11:06,853 --> 00:11:08,980
Forget about this ridiculous fight.
176
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,079
Is this a short-barreled gun?
177
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:26,248
Like this, right?
178
00:11:29,126 --> 00:11:30,293
Whoa!
179
00:11:40,303 --> 00:11:43,598
Incredible accuracy,
and with less effort than a shuriken.
180
00:11:43,682 --> 00:11:44,725
How frightening.
181
00:11:45,684 --> 00:11:47,644
But it's not the way of the warrior.
182
00:11:49,187 --> 00:11:52,858
All right, Pickle, now we're free
to fight without interference.
183
00:11:52,941 --> 00:11:55,193
Don't I look tasty?
184
00:11:55,694 --> 00:11:57,362
Heh...
185
00:12:00,407 --> 00:12:01,658
Let's go!
186
00:12:05,912 --> 00:12:07,330
I was cut down.
187
00:12:07,914 --> 00:12:09,499
Musashi Miyamoto...
188
00:12:09,583 --> 00:12:11,334
Somehow, with his bare hand,
189
00:12:12,085 --> 00:12:14,337
he slashed me into pieces.
190
00:12:16,173 --> 00:12:18,925
I remember it all so vividly.
191
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:24,890
I could feel the cold blade
as it slid effortlessly through my skin.
192
00:12:24,973 --> 00:12:28,477
It passed through each layer
of fat and muscle with ease,
193
00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:30,896
and even split the sturdiest of bones.
194
00:12:30,979 --> 00:12:33,106
Finally, it tore through
my internal organs
195
00:12:33,190 --> 00:12:35,192
like a hot knife through butter.
196
00:12:35,817 --> 00:12:39,488
Even though my head had been
cloven clear off, still I felt it.
197
00:12:39,571 --> 00:12:42,491
I felt the warm blood
that gushed out in spurts,
198
00:12:43,283 --> 00:12:45,744
painting the air like a crimson geyser.
199
00:12:46,745 --> 00:12:47,746
I was dead.
200
00:12:48,914 --> 00:12:50,332
I had been killed.
201
00:12:50,832 --> 00:12:52,501
My brain knew it.
202
00:12:52,584 --> 00:12:56,797
Hell, every single one of the 37 trillion
cells in my body knew it.
203
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,008
In that moment,
I was utterly and totally dead.
204
00:13:03,094 --> 00:13:05,263
He was trying to gather what wits he had,
205
00:13:05,847 --> 00:13:07,766
trying to shake off this gaze,
206
00:13:07,849 --> 00:13:10,769
and the immense power he felt behind it.
207
00:13:11,353 --> 00:13:14,773
And the fact that this man reminded him
of one of his fiercest enemies.
208
00:13:14,856 --> 00:13:16,775
He put it out of his head and attacked.
209
00:13:27,953 --> 00:13:31,540
I'm still only hitting flesh.
I can't get through to the bones.
210
00:13:32,749 --> 00:13:34,042
Who is this man?
211
00:13:41,550 --> 00:13:42,551
Hmm.
212
00:13:43,635 --> 00:13:45,303
And still only flesh.
213
00:13:46,179 --> 00:13:48,056
I don't see his organs spilling out.
214
00:13:48,765 --> 00:13:50,559
Just what kind of man is this?
215
00:13:52,477 --> 00:13:54,312
He's not at all like the other fighters.
216
00:13:55,522 --> 00:13:56,815
How did he get like this?
217
00:13:57,691 --> 00:13:59,943
What has this man been fighting?
218
00:14:02,654 --> 00:14:04,489
Oh-ho-ho!
219
00:14:05,156 --> 00:14:06,992
Well, look at this!
220
00:14:07,075 --> 00:14:09,160
When I look at Pickle, I see
221
00:14:09,786 --> 00:14:13,456
boisterous praise and rich rewards!
222
00:14:14,875 --> 00:14:17,335
And no small amount. A king's ransom!
223
00:14:18,253 --> 00:14:19,838
Now I understand.
224
00:14:19,921 --> 00:14:21,339
You are no ordinary man.
225
00:14:22,090 --> 00:14:23,425
You are monstrous.
226
00:14:23,508 --> 00:14:27,095
A monstrous form that bears witness
to an extraordinary past.
227
00:14:27,888 --> 00:14:29,598
You're a strong one, aren't you?
228
00:14:29,681 --> 00:14:32,100
You're even stronger than I anticipated.
229
00:14:32,183 --> 00:14:34,102
You should know
I'm pleased with your strength.
230
00:14:34,185 --> 00:14:36,438
I'm thrilled with your notoriety.
231
00:14:36,521 --> 00:14:39,357
And I'm elated by how
you came into your power.
232
00:14:39,441 --> 00:14:42,402
Because, Pickle,
all this that makes you you,
233
00:14:43,445 --> 00:14:45,989
I will take it all for myself.
234
00:14:48,450 --> 00:14:49,868
Hmm?
235
00:14:55,957 --> 00:14:58,877
You have
a profoundly unique power, Pickle.
236
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,129
Are you just going to let me take it?
237
00:15:10,722 --> 00:15:12,641
In a bizarre coincidence,
238
00:15:12,724 --> 00:15:15,894
both men shared the same thought
at the same time.
239
00:15:15,977 --> 00:15:17,896
"I've got you now."
240
00:15:21,608 --> 00:15:24,653
{\an8}They're locked in a show of strength.
Who will it be?
241
00:15:27,238 --> 00:15:29,366
On the one hand, we have the grip strength
242
00:15:29,449 --> 00:15:33,161
of the man who earned the title
of the strongest in the Cretaceous Period.
243
00:15:34,079 --> 00:15:36,039
And on the other, the legendary grip
244
00:15:36,122 --> 00:15:39,167
that can splinter whole stalks
of fresh bamboo in an instant.
245
00:15:39,876 --> 00:15:41,920
Which will prove stronger?
246
00:15:48,259 --> 00:15:49,886
Oh!
247
00:15:49,970 --> 00:15:51,680
The suspense is too much!
248
00:15:51,763 --> 00:15:53,431
It's incredible!
249
00:15:57,519 --> 00:16:00,188
- Which one is it?
- Who's it gonna be?
250
00:16:02,524 --> 00:16:03,900
Pickle thought,
251
00:16:03,984 --> 00:16:06,528
"Have I ever been grabbed
like this before?"
252
00:16:07,654 --> 00:16:09,531
Pickle was a ferocious hunter.
253
00:16:10,782 --> 00:16:12,450
Grabbing was his day to day.
254
00:16:13,284 --> 00:16:15,453
Gripping was a part of his everyday life.
255
00:16:16,454 --> 00:16:18,540
Catching was his key to survival.
256
00:16:19,708 --> 00:16:23,294
But now that he thought about it,
none of his prey could grab like this.
257
00:16:24,129 --> 00:16:26,798
And with that, Pickle was convinced,
258
00:16:28,550 --> 00:16:31,428
in the same way he had reverence
for his prey,
259
00:16:32,137 --> 00:16:33,805
"This man," Pickle thought,
260
00:16:34,472 --> 00:16:36,307
"is crazy about me!"
261
00:16:46,901 --> 00:16:47,819
Now then...
262
00:16:50,655 --> 00:16:52,574
Tokugawa, look at the wall!
263
00:16:52,657 --> 00:16:53,575
The wall?
264
00:16:54,743 --> 00:16:56,202
It's been damaged.
265
00:16:56,286 --> 00:16:59,581
The duralumin is almost a foot thick,
and yet it's dented.
266
00:16:59,664 --> 00:17:01,666
And from that one move.
267
00:17:02,667 --> 00:17:05,420
Any normal person
would've been killed by the pressure.
268
00:17:05,503 --> 00:17:07,297
I suppose you're right.
269
00:17:07,380 --> 00:17:11,134
That truly is the body
of a legendary ancient warrior.
270
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,680
Tokugawa, I propose
that we should have a rematch.
271
00:17:15,764 --> 00:17:17,182
What?!
272
00:17:17,849 --> 00:17:19,434
My invisible sword...
273
00:17:19,517 --> 00:17:21,936
I swung it numerous times, and yet,
274
00:17:22,562 --> 00:17:25,440
this Fortress of Muscle, this Pickle,
275
00:17:25,523 --> 00:17:29,444
he stopped every one of my strikes
with the power of his muscles.
276
00:17:30,195 --> 00:17:33,239
I couldn't sever any bones
and his organs remained protected.
277
00:17:33,323 --> 00:17:35,200
You've done well, Fortress of Muscle.
278
00:17:36,117 --> 00:17:37,702
Now I want to try a real blade.
279
00:17:44,459 --> 00:17:46,461
Again, I'm impressed with his strength.
280
00:17:47,170 --> 00:17:50,215
Even a wild, unsaddled horse
couldn't buck me like that.
281
00:17:51,508 --> 00:17:56,471
However, had I been using a real sword
instead of my invisible one,
282
00:17:57,222 --> 00:18:00,725
I'm not sure you would've had
the strength left to throw me like that.
283
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:03,728
Hmm.
284
00:18:03,812 --> 00:18:05,730
Yes, I think he's right.
285
00:18:05,814 --> 00:18:07,941
I doubt Pickle would have
much strength left at all
286
00:18:08,024 --> 00:18:09,984
if Musashi were using his real sword.
287
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,490
Even if Pickle were able to stop
the blade's advance with his bones,
288
00:18:15,573 --> 00:18:16,783
he'd still be wounded.
289
00:18:16,866 --> 00:18:20,745
And even with his primitive body,
he wouldn't be able to stop the bleeding.
290
00:18:20,829 --> 00:18:22,747
He'd bleed out and die before long.
291
00:18:23,540 --> 00:18:25,250
I won't know for sure until I try.
292
00:18:27,335 --> 00:18:29,003
Don't be foolish!
293
00:18:29,087 --> 00:18:32,006
Don't you understand
what Pickle means to the world?
294
00:18:32,090 --> 00:18:35,510
{\an8}He's a piece of our heritage,
a treasure of history!
295
00:18:40,098 --> 00:18:42,183
Your Western values are confusing.
296
00:18:42,267 --> 00:18:43,768
But, man from the West,
297
00:18:44,602 --> 00:18:46,521
you've no reason to fear the outcome.
298
00:18:47,730 --> 00:18:49,023
Values...
299
00:18:49,649 --> 00:18:53,027
Their values may as well have been
on opposite sides of the universe.
300
00:18:54,279 --> 00:18:57,323
The Nobel Prize-winning scientist,
Dr. Albert Payne,
301
00:18:57,407 --> 00:18:59,534
was left speechless
by this vast difference
302
00:18:59,617 --> 00:19:01,035
and could offer no rebuttal.
303
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,539
Oh by the way, Tokugawa,
I have a question for you.
304
00:19:04,622 --> 00:19:08,793
My most precious blade,
is it still around somewhere?
305
00:19:12,046 --> 00:19:14,007
Mumei Kaneshige?
306
00:19:14,632 --> 00:19:17,552
It is resting peacefully
in the province of Higo.
307
00:19:18,344 --> 00:19:22,390
I want to show it to the world,
share its unparalleled sharpness.
308
00:19:22,891 --> 00:19:24,851
The next battle had been decided.
309
00:19:24,934 --> 00:19:27,896
Musashi versus Pickle. Weapons allowed.
310
00:19:37,780 --> 00:19:39,282
I knew you were lying.
311
00:19:40,074 --> 00:19:42,994
All this talk about staying home,
thinking it over.
312
00:19:43,077 --> 00:19:45,872
Your skin is tighter.
Your muscles have grown.
313
00:19:45,955 --> 00:19:49,250
Even your fists have too.
You're just bigger than you were.
314
00:19:52,545 --> 00:19:55,173
Funny I should hear that coming from you.
315
00:19:55,256 --> 00:19:59,260
Because if I'm not mistaken,
you've ramped up your training as well.
316
00:20:01,137 --> 00:20:02,847
Kinda comforting, isn't it?
317
00:20:03,848 --> 00:20:06,017
Two losers complimenting each other.
318
00:20:06,100 --> 00:20:08,019
I don't have a problem with it.
319
00:20:08,102 --> 00:20:11,648
If we can grow stronger from praise,
why not have a full buffet?
320
00:20:12,315 --> 00:20:13,399
Well, in any case...
321
00:20:16,361 --> 00:20:18,154
We were about to say the same thing.
322
00:20:18,988 --> 00:20:20,406
It's about the match.
323
00:20:21,032 --> 00:20:22,867
It won't be a sparring session.
324
00:20:22,951 --> 00:20:25,912
At the end of this battle,
at least one of them will be dead.
325
00:20:26,704 --> 00:20:29,666
It's not a test of strength,
but a battle to the death.
326
00:20:30,250 --> 00:20:31,209
Uh-huh.
327
00:20:32,585 --> 00:20:34,921
But fighting Pickle,
should that be allowed?
328
00:20:35,004 --> 00:20:38,174
You fought him.
You faced Pickle in the ring.
329
00:20:38,258 --> 00:20:40,760
Yeah. Damn right, I did.
330
00:20:41,261 --> 00:20:43,179
Isn't that a little hypocritical?
331
00:20:44,430 --> 00:20:47,684
It's acceptable for you to fight Pickle,
but not Musashi?
332
00:20:50,478 --> 00:20:53,189
Yeah, cause he's not serious.
He's shallow.
333
00:20:53,940 --> 00:20:54,774
Oh?
334
00:20:57,193 --> 00:20:58,987
Do you have to be serious?
335
00:20:59,070 --> 00:21:00,113
Well, Baki?
336
00:21:00,613 --> 00:21:02,448
Is purity required to be a fighter?
337
00:21:04,284 --> 00:21:07,287
You know what? It's like
you're trying to sound like Musashi.
338
00:21:07,370 --> 00:21:08,204
Huh?
339
00:21:08,288 --> 00:21:11,207
Now I'm embarrassed. Don't say that.
340
00:21:12,166 --> 00:21:14,294
Look, man, I just know what my dad said.
341
00:21:15,712 --> 00:21:17,839
And he wasn't ashamed about it either.
342
00:21:18,339 --> 00:21:21,634
Not good enough. Purity? Don't need it...
I want to be successful.
343
00:21:21,718 --> 00:21:25,138
I want to be praised, applauded,
commended by everyone.
344
00:21:25,221 --> 00:21:27,390
He said that? Really?
345
00:21:28,224 --> 00:21:30,143
It's like he was finally himself.
346
00:21:30,226 --> 00:21:31,644
Huh...
347
00:21:33,896 --> 00:21:35,273
Hmm...
348
00:21:36,774 --> 00:21:37,900
Listen, Baki,
349
00:21:37,984 --> 00:21:41,904
when someone's desire
for praise and fame go that far...
350
00:21:42,488 --> 00:21:43,906
Then it comes full circle?
351
00:21:43,990 --> 00:21:45,408
Exactly.
352
00:21:45,491 --> 00:21:47,660
That's precisely it, Baki.
353
00:21:47,744 --> 00:21:53,416
If taken to the extreme, even chaos
begins to take on a semblance of order.
354
00:21:53,499 --> 00:21:56,252
Uh... But, Doppo, are you sure?
355
00:21:57,253 --> 00:21:59,756
He's a pure man. I have no doubt.
356
00:22:00,256 --> 00:22:01,507
Uh...
357
00:22:02,925 --> 00:22:05,178
This just became a lot more interesting.
358
00:22:05,762 --> 00:22:10,099
Pickle's body is built like a tank,
but he has the heart of an innocent child.
359
00:22:10,183 --> 00:22:12,352
Then there's Musashi, who operates purely
360
00:22:12,435 --> 00:22:15,188
on his unquenchable thirst
for worldly desires.
361
00:22:15,813 --> 00:22:19,067
Baki, this match will be
a battle of purity.
