00:00:26,922 --> 00:00:31,677
BAKI-DOU: THE INVINCIBLE SAMURAI
2
00:02:36,468 --> 00:02:38,470
It's a bit far, but...
3
00:02:38,554 --> 00:02:39,388
No.
4
00:02:39,471 --> 00:02:43,475
Their faces, their spirits,
and their thoughts as well.
5
00:02:43,559 --> 00:02:45,644
I can read them from this distance.
6
00:02:45,728 --> 00:02:47,897
So it's perfect for you.
7
00:02:49,857 --> 00:02:52,651
The no-smoking rule is kind of a bummer.
8
00:02:55,237 --> 00:02:56,947
Look, Katsumi.
9
00:02:59,241 --> 00:03:01,911
Two daisho swords.
10
00:03:01,994 --> 00:03:04,413
He's fully intent on using them.
11
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:11,420
So, does the fact that they're here
mean he'll come out without his swords?
12
00:03:11,503 --> 00:03:16,175
Who knows? The generation gap
is too wide for me to figure him out.
13
00:03:20,763 --> 00:03:22,681
Why?
14
00:03:26,143 --> 00:03:28,812
This is revenge
for what happened to the boss.
15
00:03:31,148 --> 00:03:33,567
But I can't bring myself to hate him.
16
00:03:36,237 --> 00:03:37,071
That...
17
00:03:42,243 --> 00:03:43,327
How come?
18
00:04:01,637 --> 00:04:05,349
The rumors drew me to Japan.
19
00:04:06,016 --> 00:04:09,353
And it's just as the rumors said,
if not even greater.
20
00:04:09,937 --> 00:04:13,857
How can a man like him exist?
21
00:04:16,318 --> 00:04:18,404
He's entering early.
22
00:04:18,487 --> 00:04:20,990
Yeah, that's true.
23
00:04:25,327 --> 00:04:27,246
What is he planning?
24
00:04:32,334 --> 00:04:34,628
- Meditation?
- To catch the enemy off guard?
25
00:04:34,712 --> 00:04:35,921
I can't read him!
26
00:04:36,005 --> 00:04:38,799
- He's such a seasoned warrior.
- He's so cunning.
27
00:04:38,882 --> 00:04:40,259
He's so sly.
28
00:04:43,846 --> 00:04:45,723
- Is he coming?
- It's Baki!
29
00:04:45,806 --> 00:04:46,765
He's coming out.
30
00:04:47,891 --> 00:04:50,394
- It's Baki!
- It's Baki!
31
00:04:52,980 --> 00:04:55,899
BLUE DRAGON
32
00:05:11,999 --> 00:05:13,167
What?
33
00:05:24,511 --> 00:05:26,680
Boy. What were you doing?
34
00:05:27,348 --> 00:05:28,932
I grew tired of waiting.
35
00:05:39,860 --> 00:05:42,571
A feast as far as the eye can see.
36
00:05:43,322 --> 00:05:45,657
You can eat and eat.
37
00:05:46,950 --> 00:05:49,119
Drink and drink.
38
00:05:49,661 --> 00:05:52,331
A feast that should never end.
39
00:05:55,667 --> 00:05:57,586
And he ate very well,
40
00:05:58,212 --> 00:06:00,839
leaving not a single dish behind.
41
00:06:01,548 --> 00:06:02,841
This wasteland...
42
00:06:04,885 --> 00:06:06,804
was just like Sekigahara.
43
00:06:08,222 --> 00:06:09,848
Did you eat them all?!
44
00:06:12,351 --> 00:06:14,853
Excuse me? Eat what?
45
00:06:17,523 --> 00:06:19,108
So that's what happened.
46
00:06:19,191 --> 00:06:20,234
What?
47
00:06:20,317 --> 00:06:22,111
So I can't eat anymore.
48
00:06:22,194 --> 00:06:23,362
What?
49
00:06:23,445 --> 00:06:28,117
Not a single scrap of food is left behind!
50
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,662
You're no longer a feast!
51
00:06:31,745 --> 00:06:33,872
Is that what you're saying?
52
00:06:34,456 --> 00:06:35,874
Baki Hanma!
53
00:06:39,086 --> 00:06:40,963
Well, you know...
54
00:06:41,922 --> 00:06:45,134
I seriously have no idea
what you're talking about.
55
00:06:45,217 --> 00:06:46,885
Fine, then.
56
00:06:46,969 --> 00:06:49,638
If I eat poison,
I'll eat the plate as well!
57
00:06:49,721 --> 00:06:52,391
{\an8}If I eat the plate,
I'll eat the tray as well!
58
00:06:52,474 --> 00:06:55,144
If I eat the tray,
I'll eat the person as well!
59
00:06:57,229 --> 00:06:59,106
What I'm about to do,
60
00:06:59,189 --> 00:07:02,401
or what happens as a result,
will change nothing.
61
00:07:04,611 --> 00:07:05,904
{\an8}Baki,
62
00:07:05,988 --> 00:07:09,408
{\an8}I shall slurp
every last drop of blood out of you.
63
00:07:20,502 --> 00:07:24,173
All weapons except for firearms
are allowed.
64
00:07:25,132 --> 00:07:27,551
The swords standing in the center
65
00:07:27,634 --> 00:07:30,679
may be used or left unused
at your discretion.
66
00:07:32,264 --> 00:07:36,185
I also bear a message
from the Noble Elder.
67
00:07:36,685 --> 00:07:40,439
This battle is to determine
which one of you is the victor.
68
00:07:41,106 --> 00:07:45,944
You are to understand that fair play
is strictly a secondary concern.
69
00:07:46,570 --> 00:07:48,030
Those were his words.
70
00:07:51,533 --> 00:07:52,701
Excuse me?
71
00:07:52,784 --> 00:07:55,829
Was that message really necessary?
72
00:07:56,330 --> 00:07:58,707
The seeker of enlightenment is a facade.
73
00:07:59,416 --> 00:08:02,711
This man is the worst cheater in history.
74
00:08:03,378 --> 00:08:06,465
No matter how you regulate him,
75
00:08:07,049 --> 00:08:09,718
he'll openly trample all over fair play.
76
00:08:14,056 --> 00:08:16,225
Mind your own business, Tokugawa!
77
00:08:16,308 --> 00:08:19,228
{\an8}This boy understands it
far better than you!
78
00:08:22,356 --> 00:08:25,484
But for a while now,
I've been wondering about this.
79
00:08:27,069 --> 00:08:28,487
Is this...
80
00:08:29,071 --> 00:08:30,489
What?
81
00:08:33,075 --> 00:08:34,743
It's a whipped cream...
82
00:08:36,828 --> 00:08:39,248
palace?
83
00:08:40,707 --> 00:08:42,042
To your positions!
84
00:08:49,383 --> 00:08:52,511
It looks so sweet, it's almost sickening.
85
00:09:02,271 --> 00:09:04,273
I have no choice.
86
00:09:09,194 --> 00:09:10,612
I have no other choice.
87
00:09:11,363 --> 00:09:12,489
Wow.
88
00:09:13,031 --> 00:09:14,783
I like this situation.
89
00:09:15,617 --> 00:09:18,287
I must use everything I've cultivated.
90
00:09:19,121 --> 00:09:21,873
All other options are closed off.
91
00:09:22,874 --> 00:09:23,792
In other words,
92
00:09:25,002 --> 00:09:27,796
I can use everything I have.
93
00:09:34,136 --> 00:09:36,054
Begin!
94
00:09:47,190 --> 00:09:49,067
- What?
- It seems like...
95
00:09:49,693 --> 00:09:51,069
From this distance...
96
00:09:51,820 --> 00:09:55,574
Even from this distance,
I realize how strong he is.
97
00:09:57,784 --> 00:10:02,581
And on top of that, he's got
his whole body to fight with, and swords!
98
00:10:04,416 --> 00:10:07,085
Just incredible.
99
00:10:08,003 --> 00:10:10,339
What a talent.
100
00:10:10,422 --> 00:10:14,092
Katsumi, that's Musashi.
101
00:10:15,677 --> 00:10:16,845
Oh, my.
102
00:10:19,973 --> 00:10:21,350
You've already got them.
103
00:10:22,309 --> 00:10:24,645
There was no need to prepare those.
104
00:10:24,728 --> 00:10:26,271
I can't stand it.
105
00:10:27,356 --> 00:10:30,484
You think keeping swords
out of my hands is enough.
106
00:10:30,567 --> 00:10:33,737
I cannot abide such arrogance
from the likes of you.
107
00:10:33,820 --> 00:10:37,157
Keeping swords out of your hands
is enough.
108
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,242
If Musashi Miyamoto were that simple,
109
00:10:39,993 --> 00:10:41,745
things would be a lot easier.
110
00:10:42,412 --> 00:10:43,246
Musashi.
111
00:10:44,039 --> 00:10:47,167
We don't underestimate
an unarmed Musashi Miyamoto.
112
00:10:47,668 --> 00:10:50,003
Not a single one of us is that foolish.
113
00:10:50,087 --> 00:10:51,088
Still,
114
00:10:51,588 --> 00:10:56,259
{\an8}we don't think you're beyond dealing with!
115
00:11:00,889 --> 00:11:02,265
Damn.
116
00:11:02,349 --> 00:11:04,518
I failed right off the bat.
117
00:11:09,398 --> 00:11:12,025
Boy, it wasn't all that bad.
118
00:11:12,901 --> 00:11:14,611
- My sword.
- What?
119
00:11:14,695 --> 00:11:15,529
"My"?
120
00:11:20,575 --> 00:11:21,660
I got cut?
121
00:11:22,869 --> 00:11:23,912
One strike!
122
00:11:37,050 --> 00:11:38,427
I tried throwing a kick.
123
00:11:39,010 --> 00:11:41,096
You're in the middle of a fight,
124
00:11:41,179 --> 00:11:44,433
yet you make yourself unstable
by standing on one leg.
125
00:11:47,018 --> 00:11:50,188
You once called
kicking techniques foolish.
126
00:11:52,190 --> 00:11:53,900
I've learned too.
127
00:11:53,984 --> 00:11:59,030
Of course, I won't kick above the waist
like you all do, boy.
128
00:11:59,114 --> 00:12:02,200
But against a man on the ground,
it's quite effective.
129
00:12:03,201 --> 00:12:05,203
And one more thing.
130
00:12:06,037 --> 00:12:09,332
A strong man once made me suffer bitterly.
131
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,335
A hit down there
works better than a sword.
132
00:12:13,003 --> 00:12:17,841
I hear you defeated that strong man,
Yujiro Hanma.
133
00:12:18,467 --> 00:12:19,843
Well done.
134
00:12:21,470 --> 00:12:23,346
I never admitted it.
135
00:12:25,390 --> 00:12:27,684
Some people don't admit their defeat.
136
00:12:28,351 --> 00:12:31,605
But that's not the case.
You don't admit your victory?
137
00:12:31,688 --> 00:12:36,359
Don't try to look so cool. A win is a win.
138
00:12:39,446 --> 00:12:40,614
I talked too much.
139
00:12:47,496 --> 00:12:48,371
Here I come.
140
00:12:52,667 --> 00:12:53,627
Any time.
141
00:12:54,961 --> 00:12:58,632
Oh, my. This match...
142
00:12:59,341 --> 00:13:04,137
It's a continuation of that match,
spanning generations.
143
00:13:06,598 --> 00:13:08,517
There's no need to worry.
144
00:13:09,684 --> 00:13:12,145
I won't get in the way.
145
00:13:23,281 --> 00:13:24,658
He releases the knee.
146
00:13:25,534 --> 00:13:27,661
Driving the speed of his falling body
147
00:13:29,287 --> 00:13:30,413
into his heel.
148
00:13:31,832 --> 00:13:34,167
He pivots toward the enemy's position.
149
00:13:35,585 --> 00:13:38,672
All of it in a mere fraction of a second.
150
00:13:39,256 --> 00:13:40,173
He disappeared?
151
00:13:50,392 --> 00:13:52,060
He was invisible.
152
00:13:52,143 --> 00:13:53,103
Was that a jab?
153
00:13:53,186 --> 00:13:54,938
He beat him with one hit!
154
00:13:55,021 --> 00:13:56,439
That's not correct.
155
00:13:56,523 --> 00:13:58,692
Right, that was three hits.
156
00:13:58,775 --> 00:14:04,447
An ultra-high-speed series of strikes
so fast that three are heard as one.
157
00:14:04,531 --> 00:14:06,908
I wonder how many people in this arena
158
00:14:06,992 --> 00:14:11,955
realized that last kizami-zuki
was three strikes?
159
00:14:12,038 --> 00:14:14,332
{\an8}BUTTE, MONTANA
160
00:14:23,758 --> 00:14:27,596
Bob Munden was a legendary gunman.
161
00:14:27,679 --> 00:14:29,848
By trade, he was a gunsmith.
162
00:14:30,473 --> 00:14:32,934
He could burst two balloons
placed two meters apart
163
00:14:33,727 --> 00:14:36,062
in 0.02 seconds.
164
00:14:36,146 --> 00:14:38,356
The firing sound of those two shots
165
00:14:39,149 --> 00:14:42,360
could only be heard as one,
even when you listen hard.
166
00:14:43,069 --> 00:14:45,614
Its speed exceeded the blink of an eye.
167
00:14:46,573 --> 00:14:49,618
It rivaled the rate of fire
of a Gatling gun.
168
00:14:50,744 --> 00:14:55,624
During a quick draw, the hand
holding the gun takes a full ten Gs.
169
00:14:56,374 --> 00:15:01,713
Ten Gs is equivalent to the physical limit
a fighter pilot can endure.
170
00:15:02,881 --> 00:15:05,508
The only reason
he was able to withstand it
171
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:11,890
was his monstrous grip and pinch strength,
enough to tear a deck of cards in half.
172
00:15:13,099 --> 00:15:17,896
Baki's jab was a three-hit combination,
striking high, middle, and low.
173
00:15:18,688 --> 00:15:19,689
The face.
174
00:15:20,273 --> 00:15:21,483
The solar plexus.
175
00:15:22,025 --> 00:15:22,901
The groin.
176
00:15:23,485 --> 00:15:26,154
Three simultaneous shots in a single beat.
177
00:15:27,197 --> 00:15:30,659
What's more,
his cockroach dash starts at full speed,
178
00:15:31,493 --> 00:15:33,662
keeping Musashi from closing the distance.
179
00:15:34,537 --> 00:15:35,664
And on top of that,
180
00:15:36,790 --> 00:15:42,921
the first flicker jab, driven by
a fully relaxed wrist and fingertips,
181
00:15:43,797 --> 00:15:46,424
gouged deeply into Musashi's forehead.
182
00:15:47,300 --> 00:15:51,930
He deployed those three modern
combat techniques simultaneously.
183
00:15:52,013 --> 00:15:53,682
Magnificent.
184
00:15:53,765 --> 00:15:56,309
Magnificent control of the tip.
185
00:15:56,393 --> 00:15:57,936
That is true, but...
186
00:15:58,561 --> 00:16:00,939
Just now, Baki...
187
00:16:02,148 --> 00:16:04,150
Did he somehow disappear?
188
00:16:08,530 --> 00:16:11,449
A technique that did not exist
in the Sengoku era.
189
00:16:11,533 --> 00:16:14,703
Was it too new for Musashi?
190
00:16:17,789 --> 00:16:24,713
Boy, while I lay unconscious just now,
you could have killed me several times.
191
00:16:26,297 --> 00:16:28,216
I wouldn't take such a risk.
192
00:16:28,299 --> 00:16:29,968
If I were to kill you,
193
00:16:30,051 --> 00:16:32,220
I would do it while you were moving.
194
00:16:34,764 --> 00:16:36,349
I am grateful.
195
00:16:37,350 --> 00:16:39,978
You struck my groin from above.
196
00:16:40,812 --> 00:16:44,482
If you had struck it from below,
it would have been over.
197
00:16:52,991 --> 00:16:54,242
All right, I saw it.
198
00:16:54,909 --> 00:16:55,744
Good job.
199
00:16:56,453 --> 00:16:57,996
Now then, let us grapple.
200
00:16:58,079 --> 00:17:01,750
My balls have dropped quite a bit now.
201
00:17:02,917 --> 00:17:05,003
It's that thing.
202
00:17:10,216 --> 00:17:12,385
It's that thing from that time.
203
00:17:12,969 --> 00:17:15,889
I'll catch your fingers with my eyes.
204
00:17:16,598 --> 00:17:20,393
I'll break them with my eyes.
205
00:17:21,978 --> 00:17:25,648
How are you going
to crush my fingers with your eyes?
206
00:17:26,316 --> 00:17:29,527
But he did it. That's how that man is.
207
00:17:29,611 --> 00:17:34,115
Using "ultimate relaxation" or whatever.
208
00:17:34,199 --> 00:17:36,242
I'm actually a nice guy,
209
00:17:36,326 --> 00:17:39,871
so I was going to close my hand
before making contact.
210
00:17:40,371 --> 00:17:42,582
He never gave me the chance.
211
00:17:42,665 --> 00:17:46,294
He crossed five or six meters
with some kind of teleportation
212
00:17:46,377 --> 00:17:49,547
and just crushed my fingers.
213
00:17:50,131 --> 00:17:51,549
Crushed them with his eyes.
214
00:17:52,175 --> 00:17:55,970
He is that fast. He is that strong.
215
00:17:56,054 --> 00:17:57,138
And that thing...
216
00:17:57,639 --> 00:18:01,309
He did it so easily.
217
00:18:01,392 --> 00:18:03,311
You surprised me.
218
00:18:03,895 --> 00:18:05,313
{\an8}There is no acceleration.
219
00:18:05,396 --> 00:18:08,316
Since it begins from a stationary body,
220
00:18:09,317 --> 00:18:12,237
a step-in
inevitably produces acceleration.
221
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:13,822
And yet,
222
00:18:13,905 --> 00:18:16,991
boy, your step-in has no acceleration.
223
00:18:17,992 --> 00:18:20,829
It is already at top speed from the start.
224
00:18:20,912 --> 00:18:22,330
That is quite something.
225
00:18:23,414 --> 00:18:27,335
You cannot produce that kind of speed
unless you are quite relaxed.
226
00:18:27,418 --> 00:18:28,586
Right.
227
00:18:29,587 --> 00:18:32,882
Even to the level of water.
Who is your master?
228
00:18:32,966 --> 00:18:34,384
You are one to talk.
229
00:18:35,176 --> 00:18:40,223
You countered that step-in effortlessly.
230
00:18:40,306 --> 00:18:41,683
Don't overestimate me.
231
00:18:42,183 --> 00:18:47,856
Just before you make your move,
I sense the presence emanating from you.
232
00:18:48,481 --> 00:18:53,611
Even though I took the initiative,
I was caught off guard in the first clash.
233
00:18:53,695 --> 00:18:55,071
Hey, Gaia.
234
00:18:55,155 --> 00:18:56,197
Yes?
235
00:18:56,281 --> 00:18:59,409
There is something you have that I do not.
236
00:19:00,785 --> 00:19:04,372
That is the ability
to detect the initial movement.
237
00:19:04,455 --> 00:19:05,874
Master Motobe, you already--
238
00:19:05,957 --> 00:19:07,917
Do not flatter me, you idiot.
239
00:19:08,001 --> 00:19:09,502
I just read it.
240
00:19:09,586 --> 00:19:12,130
It's simply a read born of experience.
241
00:19:12,714 --> 00:19:15,133
It does not reach the back of my brain.
242
00:19:15,216 --> 00:19:17,135
From here on, it is the brain.
243
00:19:17,218 --> 00:19:19,637
From here on, it's a battle of reads.
244
00:19:26,227 --> 00:19:27,896
It became a battle of reads.
245
00:19:28,563 --> 00:19:30,315
The level is incredible.
246
00:19:30,398 --> 00:19:31,649
The decision to step in.
247
00:19:32,358 --> 00:19:35,403
They are reading each other
before that thought even stirs.
248
00:19:37,655 --> 00:19:42,660
They are reading each other
before the mind's first impulse appears.
249
00:19:43,494 --> 00:19:45,914
Sounds grand when you put it into words,
250
00:19:45,997 --> 00:19:48,416
but the fight won't change that much.
251
00:19:49,500 --> 00:19:51,044
Here, just watch.
252
00:19:57,091 --> 00:19:58,551
He's walking normally?
253
00:20:06,142 --> 00:20:08,061
What did he just do?
254
00:20:08,853 --> 00:20:09,812
You're right.
255
00:20:09,896 --> 00:20:11,814
You definitely saw it.
256
00:20:11,898 --> 00:20:17,904
It's so fast that three hits sound
like one, and four hits sound like two.
257
00:20:17,987 --> 00:20:22,867
Even if you see the whole thing coming,
some attacks just can't be handled.
258
00:20:22,951 --> 00:20:24,827
You're right.
259
00:20:25,745 --> 00:20:28,957
Even if you saw every detail
of the pitching motion,
260
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:33,461
an amateur still wouldn't be able
to touch a professional's pitch.
261
00:20:34,128 --> 00:20:35,964
A volleyball spike.
262
00:20:36,047 --> 00:20:38,841
A simple straight punch from a pro boxer.
263
00:20:40,176 --> 00:20:45,098
Even if you know it's coming,
you can't easily deal with any of them.
264
00:20:45,181 --> 00:20:46,849
Now, then.
265
00:20:48,935 --> 00:20:51,354
It's about time they begin to settle in.
266
00:21:00,238 --> 00:21:01,572
Feels great.
267
00:21:01,656 --> 00:21:03,366
They carry weight now.
268
00:21:03,449 --> 00:21:04,867
Wow.
269
00:21:05,618 --> 00:21:08,538
They're much clearer than before.
270
00:21:08,621 --> 00:21:12,375
I can see the temper line
and the glint of light with clarity.
271
00:21:12,458 --> 00:21:13,918
He's holding them.
272
00:21:14,002 --> 00:21:17,130
He's holding the swords. That...
273
00:21:18,715 --> 00:21:23,303
Slash, thrust, stab, strike, grapple.
274
00:21:23,386 --> 00:21:24,804
I can do anything.
275
00:21:26,306 --> 00:21:29,559
I definitely can do anything right now.
276
00:21:29,642 --> 00:21:31,728
To cross blades.
277
00:21:31,811 --> 00:21:33,563
Whose words were those?
278
00:21:34,272 --> 00:21:35,857
"To cross blades."
279
00:21:35,940 --> 00:21:38,943
"Beneath the blade is hell indeed."
280
00:21:40,153 --> 00:21:42,071
"Step forward once
281
00:21:43,406 --> 00:21:46,075
and beyond lies paradise."
282
00:23:21,045 --> 00:23:24,257
