CAGE

Thanks, everyone, for coming!

Did you all have fun?

So what's happening?

I don't know

You're hilarious as always, Ume-chan!

All right! We're done for today!

Let's head home!

Hey, do you know any shops

around here that have takeout?

Huh? Why do you ask?

Why?

'Cause we're having an after-party,

of course! Yay!

Yay! Cheers!

Good job today, guys!

What's this?

Why are we doing this outside?

It's a party! We gotta have it outside!

-Sakura-san, it's wet everywhere.

-What the hell is happening here?

Looks like it was raining a lot, huh?

Oh! They all look delicious!

Exactly what you'd expect

at a bar district!

All right, let's dig in!

It's good!

They're all so good!

Yeah, it's really good.

Oh, they gave us a lemon!

You idiot! Don't squirt it on everything!

I'm surprised they can still

eat in a situation like this.

Yeah.

Oh, you think so too, Suo-san?

Thank goodness.

Oh, I'm on a diet. That's all.

A diet?

What's wrong with him?

How can he share a meal with a guy

he was fighting just a moment ago?

Also

can that even be considered a fight?

How is he capable of something like that?

I would never

Hm? What's wrong, Togame?

You're not eating at all!

I'm sorry.

Looking back, this whole incident

started because of me.

The reason why Shishitoren

began to rot from the inside

From yesterday's raid to today's fight

All of that

I'm truly sorry for

the trouble I've caused.

Kame-chan, but that's my

You heard them.

What do you say, Sakura?

Huh?

You decide.

What?

I'll accept any punishment.

That's just the right thing to do.

You better change and become a cool guy!

Don't you ever do lame things again!

Got it?

I promise.

All right!

That settles this matter for good!

Oh, what's this?

It's fried burdock roots!

Ume-chan, you're the top, so why do

you look like you're having so much fun?

I simply like eating.

I like eating, too!

Curry is my favorite!

How about you?

I like omelet rice.

But rather than the food

I like being with everyone

and having fun together while eating.

We talk about stuff, laugh like idiots,

and feel like all the bad things

don't matter anymore.

Spending time like that

is what makes me happy the most.

That's why I'm having

so much fun right now.

And, well

that has nothing to do

with me being at the top.

I knew it. That's right.

I remember.

I was already having fun

before I became the top.

I was having fun, too,

when everyone was smiling.

But I didn't realize that back then

so I thought I would have

even more fun being the top.

But why

didn't I realize that sooner?

Well, it's not like everyone

feels thankful for oxygen

every time they breathe.

That just means that the fun you have

is so close to you that it feels natural.

Good thing you realized that

before you lost them for good.

I'm really relieved.

Also, can I ask one more thing?

Hm?

If you knew that all along

why did you still become the top?

Because I want to always have fun

eating together with everyone!

If everyone can be happy

and smile together

then I can have my meal with joy.

And when I thought about how

I could make that happen

the answer was to become the top of Furin.

That's all.

It's not like I strived to become one.

It's just that I had something

I wanted to do by becoming the top.

If there was another way

to make it happen,

I would've probably done that instead.

But if that was the case

I wouldn't have been able

to eat with you guys like this.

You're really amazing, Ume-chan!

You became the top while knowing

full well what you wanted to do.

Nah, I didn't "become" one.

I was given the title.

You can't become the top

when you're alone, right?

I only became the top

because everyone supported me.

They agreed with my vision

and wanted to help me.

So when I became the top, I realized

my dream was no longer just my own.

That is why to make that dream a reality

no matter how difficult,

no matter how unreasonable,

no matter how absurd the path is

I will never lose.

You're really shouldering a lot

on your back, huh, Ume-chan?

Your fists are light.

Do you know why?

Because they don't shoulder anything.

Choji?

No wonder my fists are so light.

I could never win against you.

See ya!

You guys should come play

at our place next.

The stuff here was great, but we've

got a lot of great food over there, too!

Really?

Of course!

I wish I brought something.

I forgot I brought the anpan from Cactus!

Wanna try?

Their breads are still good

even when they're cold!

I don't think being cold

is the problem at that point.

Thanks.

I'll treat you with

a freshly baked one next time!

See you later!

Later!

There they go.

Yeah.

Hey, Kame-chan.

Hm?

I know.

I know what I did can't be

forgiven with a simple "sorry."

Yeah.

But I don't know what else I should do

or what I can do

Even so

I

need all of you.

So

Me too.

I still did what I did.

I want to make up for it

But I don't know what I should do

after I apologize.

But that's why

I think we have to face the consequences.

Let's look for the answer.

Together this time.

Yeah!

What's the matter?

Even after it's been crushed this badly,

it is still a proper anpan!

This is good!

I wonder how it tastes

when it's freshly baked.

Huh? It's raining again?

Oh, you're right.

It's so weird.

Even though the sun parted the clouds

Welcome back.

OMELET RICE - CURRY RICE - NAPOLITAN

SHRIMP PILAF - EGG SANDWICH - PIZZA TOAS

Wait, Sasaki? You were waiting

for us this whole time?

I told you to leave it to us, didn't I?

It's all over now.

Thank you

so

so much!

We're back!

Welcome ba

Huh, wait? You got all patched up already?

-Shishitoren wasn't much, then?

-Kotoha! I'm back!

Yeah. We're apparently friends, now?

You guys always go all out, huh?

Are you guys okay?

This much is no big deal.

And you look pretty fine.

I don't sweat much.

And you look so beaten up, too, Sakura.

Welcome back.

Because you are alone.

I only became the top

because everyone supported me.

They agreed with my vision

and wanted to help me.

What's wrong, Sakura-san?

You've been awfully quiet

on the way back, too.

I'm leaving.

Huh? Sakura-san? What's the matter?

Now hold it there.

What?

Today is a momentous day!

We gotta celebrate!

Kotoha! Make us some of your

special coffee, won't you?

There's nothing to celebrate!

You managed to converse

with your opponent today!

Today is your

"first fist conversation" anniversary!

Huh? You're making no sense!

What's a "first fist conversation"

anniversary?

Hmm, maybe like the salad anniversary?

-If you want, then do it without me

-I

want to talk with you.

I thought you could become

the top all by yourself.

That the strongest one around

gets to be the top.

But it seems like I was wrong.

So, how was it?

How was your talk with Togame?

I told you I didn't talk with him.

I didn't hear any words from his fists.

Oh, I see. So that's how you took it?

You're quite the dreamer,

aren't you, Sakura-kun?

Sakura-san, that's not

what he meant by that.

What's with all of you? Stop laughing!

Sorry. It's my fault for

not explaining it to you properly.

Still, you're pretty pure.

I wasn't talking about telepathy.

Not even I could hear anything

through punches.

When I said fists are a type

of communication

it doesn't mean verbal communication.

I'm saying it's a means to let you express

your thoughts and feel other people's.

And because fists are a much primitive way

of communication compared to language,

things that you can express

would be just as primitive.

Primitive?

Like whether you like

the other person or not.

My eyes!

Hold it, Sugishita.

Wow, he used poison breath!

Good grief, what are you guys doing?

You better wipe it all off!

My bad, Kotoha.

You had a conversation with Togame

and grew to like him, didn't you?

Huh?

And that's why you tried

to punch Tomiyama.

I believe that's the proof that

you had a conversation with him.

So what? What if I managed to do that?

Why do we gotta celebrate it?

Well, because

that makes me happy!

Huh?

You see, when I heard an outsider

moved into the town

I thought you were some weirdo,

so I was curious what you'd be like.

After watching you for two days

You're a good guy.

And a good guy like you came to this town.

That makes me happy!

Then you could've just

called this a "welcoming party."

It's easier to get than

"first fist conversation" anniversary.

Oh, that's a good idea!

You're right!

Why

How can you accept me so easily?

Letting me in

Everyone in this town

And also the guys in Furin

I came here to become the top,

to beat you and take your place!

I can't do what you're doing.

After all, I've never accepted

anyone in my life before.

That was why I strove to

become stronger by myself.

I came here because I wanted to usurp

the top and accept myself for who I am.

But

Apparently, you need other people

in order to become the top.

And as someone who

can't accept other people

I could never

Wait! Hold on, Sakura-san!

Sakura-san!

Yesterday you said I wasn't pathetic!

But well

I suppose you're not all that pathetic.

You saw me for who I am!

That made me really happy!

So, Sakura-san, you

Huh? What was I trying to say again?

It's okay. I think he gets it.

Hey, Sakura.

Do you know the requirements

to talk with your fists?

Requirements?

It's to face the other person.

To want to know more about them.

And you accomplished that.

That's why you were able

to converse with Togame.

I want to know.

I want to know more about him.

You don't necessarily need to accept

everything about the other person.

But to accept someone,

you have to face them first.

You're a guy who can do that,

and it looks to me that

you want to accept others.

You haven't given up on other people.

You don't have to.

You should lift your face up to us, too.

Once you do, I'm sure

And if you can do that,

you can become anything you want to be.

You can even be the top!

Okay?

If I become the top, that

would mean you lose to me!

I guess so! Well, let's worry

about that when the time comes!

Huh? What's up, Sugishita? Bathroom?

I'll crush you!

Huh? You wanna go? Bring it on!

Sugishita-san! Wait!

He's been glaring him

this whole time, after all.

Hey! What are you guys doing?

If you wanna fight, take it outside!

Umemiya sure is weak against Kotoha.

Yeah.

That means Bofurin's top is

You finally realized, huh?
