03x05 - A bad hunch

[bunniefuu]

[Emma's mother] Listen, Emma.

-I have to go very, very far away now.
-[♪ soft music]

So I want you to live with your grandpa.

[Emma] When I saw Mommy for the last time,

her lips were redder than usual
and she smelled like flowers.

When will you come for me?

When I'm done with my business.

[Emma] Mommy, the truth is, I knew

your true feelings.

SANO DOJO

[shouts]
Everyone, get in here!

[Grandpa] Shinichiro!

Why are you shouting, Grandpa?

Manjiro! Emma!

Starting today, you're siblings!

Huh?

Isn't she a foreigner?

[Mikey] Emma is such a weird name.

[grunts]

-[Grandpa] Make sure you all get along.
-[laughs]

Manjiro, you just don't get girls, do you?

Okay, Emma. I'll take you out somewhere.

I know I'm handsome,
but don't fall for me.

What a weird haircut.

[awkward grunt]

[muffled laugh]
I can tell that hurt.

You're the one who doesn't get girls.

[Shinichiro] Shut up!

[kids grunting loudly]

That's enough!

[all panting]

-[Shinichiro] Keisuke.
-Huh?

You're just a kid, but you're strong.

Shinichiro!

[Shinichiro] Hey, don't shout!

-Shinichiro!
-[Shinichiro grunts]

[Grandpa]
That punk is always up to no good.

He never comes to practice.

Keisuke, don't you be like him.

-Yes, sir.
-[thuds]

[all] Huh?

[Mikey grunts]

[Emma] Wow!

Sensei, how come he's so good
even though he hardly ever practices?

He's a genius.

What? That's not fair! How come?

Because he's my grandson.

Hey, Sano. Spar with me.

Huh? No way. I don't want to get sweaty.

[Baji] Then why are you at the dojo?

Because I want to show off
and get noticed.

What kind of stuck-up attitude is that?

-[floor creaks]
-Huh?

[soft gasp]

By the way, who's she?

Emma, my little sis.

[Baji]
Really? So you've got different moms?

[birds chirping]

-Emma sounds like a foreign name.
-Totally.

[Emma] They share one brain cell.

Then I'll call myself Ed,
short for Edward.

I'll call myself Mikey, short for Michael.

[in English] This is a pen.

I have a sh*t.

[Baji and Mikey] Oh, my god!

[both laugh]

[Baji and Mikey] Oh, my god!

[laughing continues]

[both] Oh?

[Emma in Japanese] The truth is, I know

how Mommy feels.

Mommy hates me.

[both] Hmm?

[Emma] I know that's why she abandoned me.

But she told me...
[sobs]

...she'd come back for me
when she finished her business.

[Emma] She told me that.
[sobbing]

[Grandpa] How's Emma doing?

It looks like
she's getting used to things here.

But I think she's just acting
like everything's fine.

I see.

I'd like to make her smile.

[Grandpa] Same here.

Huh...

[grunting loudly]

[Mikey] You're not doing it right.

Want me to spar with you?

[Emma] Hmph.

Starting today, I'm Mikey.

Huh?

If your brother is named Mikey,
we'd be the same, so it won't be weird.

From now on, I'll always be Mikey, Emma.

[Emma gasping]

-[sobbing softly]
-[♪ soft music]

You just don't get girls, do you?

[Mikey] Huh?

It's not my name that bothers me.

Oh, you smiled.

Don't fall for me.

[Emma] As if.

Neither of you are my type.

[giggles]

[Emma] But...

[Emma] Sorry. Did you wait long?

But since then,
I've never once felt lonely.

[crow cawing]

[Inui] Taiju has retired.

BLACK DRAGON will come
under Toman's command.

Are you going to take over
as BLACK DRAGON's 11th leader?

No.

I won't be the 11th leader.

I nominate Takemichi Hanagaki.

Huh? Takemitchy?

I saw a hint of our first leader
in Hanagaki when he faced Taiju.

-[grunts]
-[wind gusting]

He's got the potential
to lead BLACK DRAGON.

[♪ ominous music]

-[Mikey] No.
-[♪ music stops]

Huh? "No"?

Of course,
I'm not poaching Hanagaki from Toman.

He'd still lead First Division...

Hey.

-It wasn't you who discovered Takemitchy.
-[♪ tense music]

Uh... huh?

It was me!

-Uh...
-[Mikey grunts]

[Mikey] The same potential as my brother?

Anyway, he's mine, so you can't have him.

[Inui] Wait, is he getting jealous?

But...

if Takemitchy absolutely insists
on being BLACK DRAGON's leader,

I'll think about it.

But only if he absolutely insists.

[soft chuckle]

[Inui] Who'd have thought

the day would come
when I'd wear this uniform.

[suspenseful sting]

Mucho double-crossed us, huh?

Yes.

In this fight,

First Division will do everything we can
to rescue Hajime Kokonoi.

Good.

Inui, if Tenjiku were to att*ck us
in earnest, when would it be?

Tomorrow, February 22.

[Inui] That's the day
BLACK DRAGON was founded 11 years ago.

If Izana is that devoted
to Shinichiro Sano,

then tomorrow is a special day.

You think they'll att*ck tomorrow?

Yes, no doubt about it.

-Okay!
-[wind gusting]

[Mikey] Gather all members of Toman.

To prepare for tomorrow's showdown,

we'll rally the troops!

[g*ng members] Yes, sir!

[footsteps approaching]

[Kakucho shouts]
Izana!

I'm against this!

Shut it, Kakucho.

This is the only way to crush Toman.

Do you have any idea
what you're about to do?

-[Izana] It won't be a problem.
-[surprised grunt]

I...

will never condone

m*rder!

[ambulance siren blaring]

[Draken] The emergency meeting
before we face Tenjiku will now begin!

-Chifuyu.
-[Chifuyu] Hmm?

First Division's mission in this battle
is to rescue Koko.

That and to defeat Kisaki and Izana.

So basically, to crush Tenjiku.

Right.

That makes this seem like
our most straightforward fight yet.

But the problem is

whether Toman can defeat Tenjiku
the way we are now.

Huh?

Listen carefully, men.

February 22, today,
Tenjiku will make its move.

It's an all-out fight.

[Draken] Stay focused when you fight.

Those Tenjiku bastards won't fight fair.

They call themselves a criminal syndicate
and will gladly fight dirty.

-[Hakkai] Then Toman should too!
-[surprised grunt]

Let's fight dirty and crush them!

Hakkai?

-Taka got jumped, and Smiley too.
-What?

[both grunt]

-You're kidding!
-[g*ng members exclaim]

-How'd they take out those two?
-[♪ tense music]

On their way here, some assholes
rammed into them on their bikes.

When they were on the ground,
they b*at them with steel pipes.

Where are they now?

[Hakkai] I took them to the hospital...

but they're both still out cold.

Those Tenjiku bastards will use
every dirty trick.

[all grunt]

If we don't do anything, Toman will lose!

[Takemichi grunts]

Look!

[Hakkai] First Division's all b*at-up.

We've lost the captains
of Second and Fourth Divisions.

Third Division's Captain is not with us.

And those Fifth Division traitors
are with Tenjiku now.

[Takemichi] He's right.

Most of the captains are out.

Toman's in tatters now.

Hakkai's totally right.

If we fight fair now, we'll lose.

We should do the same as Tenjiku!

-Let's get weapons and ambush them!
-[all] Yeah!

[engine revs]

Peh-yan.

Shut the hell up, you wusses.

Don't get your shorts in a knot.

[Peh-yan] Are you so scared to lose
that you'd ambush them with weapons?

Pah-chin...

got arrested for using a w*apon.

I att*cked Draken over a misunderstanding.

I fought dirty.

Even so, this is what Mikey said to me.

-"I don't want to fight you."
-[♪ melancholic music]

[Peh-yan] That's why I'm still here.

That's why

this time, I want to fight legit,
in a way Mikey'd approve!

[Takemichi grunts]

[all grunt]

-[Peh-yan] Hakkai!
-Huh?

I know you're freaked out
over Mitsuya and Smiley getting b*at,

but look at Mikey.

[wind gusting]

Is he smiling?

[wind gusting]

[soft gasp]

Hakkai.

You stay with Mitsuya and Smiley.

What? Wait!

I want to avenge Taka!

It's not because I'm worried
about Mitsuya and Smiley's condition.

Those guys,

when they wake up,
they'll want to join this fight for sure.

Keep them out of it.

[gasps]

First Division,
you carry out your mission.

Yes, sir.

[Mikey] Listen up, men!

Not a single captain will have your back
in this fight.

I'm all you need!

-[all gasp]
-[♪ dramatic music]

[Takemichi] That's right!

We've got Mikey!

Let's crush Tenjiku!

[all shout]

SANO FAMILY GRAVE

[birds chirping]

Shinichiro.

This is the 11th leader of BLACK DRAGON,
Takemichi Hanagaki.

I'll make a great g*ng
that won't disgrace our founder.

[Izana]
So BLACK DRAGON gets their 11th leader

on the day it was founded, huh?

[gasps]

FIRST GENERATION TENJIKU

[Izana] Isn't that nice?

-So you're Takemichi Hanagaki.
-[♪ tense music]

[Takemichi] Who the heck is this guy?

[shouts]
Izana!

[Takemichi grunts]

[Takemichi]
This is Izana Kurokawa of the past?

What the hell are you planning to do
with Koko, damn it?

Now, now.

I'm not planning anything.

He joined us out of his own free will.

[breathes angrily]

[Izana] Let go of me.

I've only come
to pay my respects to my brother.

Hey, Inupi...

Now that we've got Kokonoi,

I couldn't care less about you, Inui.

[Inui] Why you!

-[Mikey] Don't do it, Inupi.
-[Inui and Takemichi grunt]

[Takemichi] Mikey!

Huh? What's going on?

Mikey...

Well, well. Brother and sister
paying their respects, huh?

[Emma] Huh?

[Izana scoffs]

[Inui grunts]

[Takemichi]
I think something's going to go down.

Takemitchy, get Emma away from here.

[motorbike engine rumbles]

It's not like you
to get your own hands dirty.

Yeah.

I can't leave this up to anyone else.

That guy is my other older brother.

[Takemichi grunts softly]

[Emma] Izana, right?

So that's what he's like.

I was really little when we were together.

I don't remember much of him.

Tonight at 8 p.m.,

come with all of Toman
to Yokohama's Seventh Pier.

[Izana]
Let's put an end to all of this, Mikey.

They're going to fight soon, right?

[Takemichi] Probably.

But they're brothers.

[Takemichi] She's right.

Why has it come to this?

[Emma] How come boys always have to fight?

[Takemichi] Huh?

[Emma] "The invincible Mikey,
leader of the Tokyo Manji g*ng."

Mikey always puts on
a strong front around others.

[♪ melancholic music]

When Shinichiro d*ed too.

And when Baji d*ed.

Mikey never shows his weakness.

Not to anyone.

You're right.

But the truth is,

even now, he can't sleep
without his worn-out blanket.

He's a weak little boy.

[Takemichi grunts]

Just like you and me.

Starting today, I'm Mikey.

So if he ever snaps under the strain...

From now on, I'll always be Mikey, Emma.

[sobbing softly]

When that happens,
I swear I'll be there to save him.

Just like Mikey was for me.

[soft gasp]

[Takemichi] Now I get it.

I sounded too cool just now, didn't I?
[chuckles]

[Takemichi]
I think the one who understands

and supports Mikey the most

might just be Emma.

Huh?

Mikey turns evil in the future.

My life was...

nothing but suffering.

Even though he had Emma.

Want something to drink?

[Takemichi] Uh, sure.

[soft chuckle]

-Huh?
-[tense sting]

[Takemichi] Did Emma...

exist in the future?

[motorbike engine revving]

[wind gusting]

Izana! Reconsider!

Are you sure you want this?

Yeah.

[angry grunt]

From now on,
become Mikey's emotional support.

[♪ tense music]

[Kisaki]
Total control is within your grasp.

[Kisaki] This will complete my own Toman.

[motorbike engine revving]

[both] Huh?

[♪ tense music continues]

[grunting loudly]

[gasps]
Kisaki!

[grunts, gasps]

-[bat clanks]
-[♪ music stops]

[body thuds]

[breathing shakily]

[Takemichi] Huh?

What was that?

What just happened?

[Takemichi breathing shakily]

Emma?

[gasps]

[motorbike engine rumbles]

[breathing shakily]

[Takemichi] You can't be serious, Kisaki.

You went after Emma?

It's over, Takemichi Hanagaki.

-[tires screeching]
-[engine revving]

[♪ eerie music]

[Takemichi breathing shakily]

[Takemichi] He'd even att*ck a girl?

To drag Mikey down,

he'd do something this shitty?

[Takemichi] Emma...

Emma!

Emma!

I'm such an idiot!

Even though I saved Draken
and got Kisaki kicked out of Toman,

the reason nothing ever changed was

because of this!

[Takemichi] Emma! Wake up, Emma!

If you...

If you die here in the past,
I can't save you.

Emma!

-[Mikey] Emma?
-[Takemichi gasps]

[Takemichi grunts]

[voice breaking]
I'm sorry, Mikey.

I...

What happened?

A bike...

A bike rode down on us, and Emma was...

Kisaki did it.

-[Mikey] What?
-[Inui gasps]

An ambulance.

The hospital's not far. Put her on me.

I'll go on ahead and tell them.

[Takemichi] Please be all right, Emma.

Please!

-Mikey...
-[gasps]

[gasps]
Emma!

Huh? I can't move.

Huh?

Oh, yeah...

I was...

[Mikey] Do you remember, Emma?

-When you were five, you chased after me.
-[♪ somber music]

You fell off the jungle gym
and broke your leg.

I haven't given you
a piggyback ride since then.

[Emma breathes shakily]
Hey...

Yeah?

[Emma] If anything happens to me...

Don't be silly.
Nothing's going to happen to you.

Tell Draken this for me.

[Emma] "Ken, I love you."

[stifled sobbing]

Tell him yourself.

Takemitchy...

[gasps]
Yeah?

Take care of...

Mikey for me, okay?

[Takemichi breathes shakily, sobs]

[gasps]

[gasps]

Emma? Emma?

I promised Draken I'd keep this a secret.

[Mikey] But Draken loves you, you know.

It's mutual.

I'll call Draken
once we get to the hospital.

Okay, Emma?

Emma...

[Mikey] Takemitchy.

[Takemichi] Yes?

[Mikey] Put my jacket over Emma.

[Mikey inhales sharply]

Emma is kind of cold somehow.

[gulps]

[voice breaking]
Mikey!

It's my dream

that you'll have a kid someday

and you and Draken will have a house.

And when I come over,

Draken will totally ignore you.

[Mikey] We'll drink and laugh

over stories of the good old days
we've told a hundred times.

Mikey!

[Takemichi] Emma's already...

I'd stay until late into the night.

Eventually, we'd invite over Mitsuya
and Takemitchy and we'd have a blast.

We'd wake up the baby,

and you'd get really ticked off at me.

[baby crying]

-[Emma] Get back here!
-[scared grunt]

[chuckles]
There they go again.

[laughs]

Quit laughing and do something, Draken!

I said get back here, Mikey!

[grunts]
Ow!

[Draken chuckles]
Emma, that's still got beer in it.

[Emma] Oh, dear! That was dangerous!

-It's all your fault, Mikey!
-[laughter]

[indistinct chatter and laughter
in vision continues]

[Emma in vision] Mikey!

[♪ closing theme music]
