I've been fighting to get it all for awhile
Running towards my dream at mach 50
Whirling winds tear through the sky
and I promise to become better than I was yesterday
The blue sky got twisted up with dark clouds
The wind that I waited for pressed onto my shoulder
and in my hand I grasped onto
The flash from a thunderbolt out of the blue
When I stopped running after so long
and opened these fists that have been thrown so often
Inside of them were traces
of the first step I'd taken to make it here
Tomorrow will take care of itself
Tears will come as the winds continue until morning
And to us as we grew it was like
A thunderbolt out of the blue
There is a new WBC World Jr. Middleweight Champion!
And his name is Takamura Mamoru!
Japan's hawk has finally flown to the top of the world!
www . OpenSubtitles . org
- Did it.
| did it, geezer!
You did it!
We knew you could do it!
You're the world champion!
You had us worried!
What the hell??
Enough, you guys!
Get off of me!
Where's the geezer!?
Where is he!?
Well done.
I can get up without any help.
You...
You did an excellent job.
What are you doing!?
Give it to me!
Let me do it!
This is my job!
Well, in that case, just let me.
Hand it over, dammit!
But it's my job!
Hand it over, dammit!
What the hell are you doing!?
1 just thought I'd like to put it on you!
Me too!
I can't just abandon my duty.
Oh, man!
Like it even matters, but...
You do it, old man.
And now,
the championship belt is being strapped
onto the new champion!
How's that!?
Suits me, doesn't it?
Hell yeah!
Held up on the shoulders of one of his kouhai,
Japan's hero greets the crowd's cheers!
His fists are proudly raised into the air in victory!
He did it, Nee-san!
He's the world champion!
Yes!
I guess the job I set him up for has gone to waste now.
Nii-san...
Look,
| only did it because | was worried
about his future, as his older brother!
Nii-san!
We understand.
It's crazy how impressive he is.
Just like I said!
Didn't I say there was gonna be no more comebacks!
H-Huh?
Where's Miyata?
So, new champion, how's it
feel to have the belt put on?
Uh, well...
I always considered it to be the natural outcome.
But to see everyone else so happy about it...
To be honest, I'm kind of at a loss for words.
I don't really know what to say.
Raise your head up, Champion!
That's right,
we can't have our hero looking down!
Hero!?
Say something!
We were all moved!
You were super cool!
Super cool!?
You're Japan's pride!
I see!
So you all wanna be like me, right!?
I've got it then!
We'll reproduce me throughout all of Japan!
All you women out there,
come to Takamura!
I'll give you my sperm!
In twenty years, Japan will be crawling with me!
I have no idea what that's all about.
♪-Just pretend you don't know him.
You dumb-a*s!
How's that any different from Hawk!?
Sperm? What the hell?
You're the shame of Japan!
Ladies and gentlemen, please
don't throw anything into the ring!
Stop throwing things!
Relinquish the belt right now!
I feel bad for having been moved!
Couldn't you say something like "genes" instead!?
You're a scumbag!
You're a scumbag!
Round 25: Would you like a Bronze Statue?
Round 25: Would you like a Bronze Statue?
It was an excellent fight.
I can't remember being moved this
much by a match in quite awhile.
And now...
to think I would have to lecture the winner like this!
You total moron!
How the hell could you say that!?
And of all things you could
have said, you chose "sperm!?"
Is that something the world champion should say!?
You've shamed the whole blasted world!
He's not listening.
Not a tall.
Are you done?
I've got a lot left to say!
Sorry, but...
could you give it a rest for today?
Right now,
| wanna go home and rest.
Come now, Gen-chan...
Leave it at that.
Even Takamura-san would be on shaky feet...
...after a match like that.
Fine then!
Go home and behave!
Get a lot of rest-daniyo.
I'll be heading this way.
Right on.
Later!
See you tomorrow!
Usually, I feel really motivated
after watching a good match,
but right now, I feel kind of distant.
We might both be boxers,
but he was on a totally different level
It was so amazing and filled with surprises.
I really mean it,
Congratulations, Takamura-san!
I'm home!
| wonder if it's on the sports news.
That was a really tough match, wasn't it?
| hope you all enjoyed it!
Well, I might have had a little trouble with it, but...
What's he doing on a live broadcast!?
Well, I might have had a little trouble with it, but...
Well, I might have had a little trouble with it, but...
Shouldn't he be at home resting?
Well, I might have had a little trouble with it, but...
But to be able to do this after a match like that...
he really is superhuman!
A week later
A week later
What is this?
It was addressed to Takamura-kun, but...
You don't think it's anything dangerous, do
you? Considering what he said after the match...
No, it looks like it was something he ordered himself.
But he's still in rehab, so...
What should we do with it?
Let's just open it up.
Should we do that without his permission?
Yeah, who cares?
It's probably just some worthless crap.
B-Bronze bust?
This is beyond worthless crap.
I can't believe he actually ordered something like this.
It says it's to commemorate him
winning the championship.
Then he had to have ordered it before the match.
Anyhow, let's get it out of the way.
We should be able to move it if we grab it by the arms.
Be careful!
It's fine.
It fell over!
Are you okay, Aoki-san!?
Ouch.
It's already broken!
Aoki broke it!
It wasn't on purpose!
Kimura, come apologize with me!
Are you out of your damn mind, dumb-a*s!?
Itagaki, I'm begging you!
Help me!
You can't ask me to commit suicide with you!
I bet... he was really looking forward to it.
My punches are dynamite!
That's Takamura-san's song!
Boom boom boom!
It's getting closer.
Boom boom boom!
Stay away! Stay away!
Sup!
Long time no see, gentlemen!
Good afternoon, Takamura-san!
It's good to see you.
What's with the sunglasses?
What, these?
Well, you small fry probably won't
ever have to worry about it, but...
Ever since the world title match, I keep getting
mugged by people asking for autographs.
So it's a disguise!
Being a celebrity is tough.
| wonder if there's a way | can be more incognito.
You were walking around with the belt on?
Say what!?
"Say what" my a*s!
You were trying to stand out!
So my statue finally arrived!
I've been waiting for this!
I was really looking forward to it!
S-So you were waiting for it?
On pins and needles!
Y-You were looking forward to it?
Oh, hell yeah!
It looks like you like it too Aoki-kun, since
you've got your arm around it and all!
Look here...
I thought you'd all want one too, so I
had some mini-Takamura busts made!
It's a limited run of 300!
These are really cool!
I want one!
It must've cost a lot!
They're 30,000 yen a piece.
E-Expensive!
And you had 300 made?
Well, I figured that would be a fair price
since they'll be pretty hot merchandise.
Merchandise...
You mean?
You're selling these!?
Hey, these are rare items!
And this is the first run!
Get one while you still can.
He was gonna charge us too.
What a cheap world champion.
Hold on a second!
Aoki-san?
Take my advice as someone in the service industry...
Try and think of it from your customer's perspective!
It'd be really frustrating to want one
of these and not be able to buy one!
The way things are nowadays,
you've got to sell quality merchandise at
a decent price to make sure all of it sells.
Y-You think so?
15,000 yen a piece sounds fair to me.
| only have one question...
What's up with that?
Please don't k*ll me!
Stay away!
Don't get us caught up in it!
Aw, man!
So you broke it?
Huh?
You're not getting mad?
I'm the world champion, y'know!
I can't afford to get pissed off about stuff like this.
Takamura-san...
But in exchange...
The next day
The next day
So the statue got fixed?
The next day
Yeah, we stuck the arm back on and put it on the roof.
Yeah, we stuck the arm back on and put it on the roof.
I'm sure Aoki-san's relieved.
Huh?
Where is he?
Aoki...
He was sent around the country
with the mini-Takamura statues.
Apparently, he was told to sell them
for no less than 50,000 yen each.
I-In that case...
He won't be coming back anytime soon.
Yeah.
300 Limited Edition
Mini Bronze Statues
Get him, tag a kit!
Fight back!
You can do it!
Down!
ONE
Winner, tag a kit!
I did it!
Thank you so much!
Thank you all so much!
Get your a*s down here!
You're overdoing it!
He won in one round!
He really is too much for other fourth rounders!
Well, he became a pro for a good reason,
but then lost by KO in his first match.
I'm sure this is a big deal for him.
When I called home, they said
we'd celebrate my first win,
and they wanted to meet the
senpai who helped me out a lot.
I feel bad that I'm the only one coming!
Well, it would've been nice if everyone could come, but...
it's kind of a small house.
This is it.
Surprising?
Oh, no!
Itagaki-kun has a flashy image, so I figured
he'd at least come from the upper-middle class.
After high school,
I got into college through a scholarship,
but I quit college because I wanted
to focus on becoming a pro.
1 just felt like I couldn't back down
until I could earn a living with my fists!
Honestly, I thought it'd be easy making it as a pro,
but I was too naive.
But, now that I've won once, I've earned my
right to enter the Rookie King tournament!
I'll focus on each fight, and
make things easier for my family!
Onii-chan, welcome back.
It's Ippo-san!
This is my little sister Nanako.
She's a big fan of yours.
Thank you so much!
S-So this is Itagaki-kun's little sister...
I'm Nanako!
She's cute!
Welcome. You're Ippo-san, aren't you?
Come on in!
This is my mother.
Pleased to meet you!
Since Manabu finally snapped up a
victory, we're having snapper to eat!
Oh, snap!
Ippo-san, you'd better make it
snappy and eat up before it's gone!
Thank you so much!
They seem like an easygoing
family with a good sense of humor.
Where's Dad?
He should be home any time now.
I'm home, my homies.
Welcome home.
Welcome back, Dad.
This must be Ippo-san.
Thank you for looking after my son.
Oh no,
it's no trouble!
It's nice to meet you. I'm Makunouchi!
He seems like a strict father.
You really get the feeling he holds the family together.
Since we're all here, let's eat!
Yes.
Well, then...
Itadaki—
Itagakimasu!
ltadaki—
Um, I think I must have misheard,
but did you just say "ltagakimasu?"
That's just the Itagaki family way!
Itagaki family way...
I'm going to have to snap up some more of this snapper.
Honey, did you make a bid for this squid?
We're out of soy sauce!
You should soy something sooner next time.
I'm glad onii-chan won a pro match.
I won't lose again!
It was a KO, wasn't it?
A KO, eh?
Then Manabu certainly did OK!
What... what is with this family!?
Their sense of humor isn't good.
It's like a family of bad comedians!
And they're all terrible!
But at my house, it's just the two of us.
So maybe this kind of arrangement isn't that unusual
still...
It's all thanks to you, Ippo-san.
My Mana...
Mana...
I'm so happy that I can't bring
myself to say my son's name.
Mister.
Mana...
That's right, Mana-bu!
Dad, that's so messed up!
I saw that coming!
No good...
I can't take much more of this!
{have to change the subject.
E-Excuse me!
Sir, what do you do for a living?
My job is nothing interesting.
I was laid off from a fairly small company,
and now work as a security guard.
Lots of early mornings and late nights.
It must be a lot of work.
Indeed.
| haven't...
got a hair of free time.
That one's your specialty, Dad!
Hey, don't say it like that!
You make it sound like I do it all the time!
But you did it just now!
Ippo-san, I see you're not eating much food.
Is something eating away at you?
You've got that right!
They just keep going.
I feel like the bad jokes are taking their toll on me.
Senpai, what's wrong?
I... I'm just... not used to eating in a group like this.
Well, we do try to have fun at home.
Right!
The secret to a happy family life is...
for the father to have a big one.
Oh, you!
I-it's no good!
I have to change the direction of the conversation!
I can't take much more!
C-Can I have...
a pinch of this crab?
Looks like Ippo-san took his first step!
Asking if he could have a pinch of crab!
After tonight's dinner party, we'll party hard!
Your mouths will be caked with this cake!
Mom, I can't find my knife to-knife!
Don't peck away at your chicken!
Hey, don't nap on your napkin either!
Oh, Nanako!
That's one hell of a family.
| tried to change the flow of the
conversation and got caught up in it instead.
But y'know, even if the jokes are crappy, you
get enough of them in quick succession...
...and you end up laughing before you know it.
It's pretty intimidating when you think about it.
Intimidating?
Takamura-san!
You were listening?
No matter what it comes to,
nobody should be more intimidating than me.
This family's gonna have to learn its place.
Glo—
H-He's on the same level as them!
This is gonna be one hell of a showdown!
This is so stupid, I want to cry.
Yo.
You're the idiot father of the Itagaki household, right?
Can I help you with something?
My d*ck itches so much,
itches really bugging me.
| see how...
that might ball-ther you.
Takamura-san sure is late getting back.
Well, he doesn't lose to anyone
when it comes to stupidity either.
That's not the kind of competition a world
champion should be getting involved in.
He's back!
How was it?
I'll-My stomach...
Your stomach?
I can't take it!
Just thinking about it hurts!
It was too funny!
He got him!?
He actually lost.
I-I bet "I haven't got a hair of free time" is what got him!
That one was devastating!
Nah...
I withstood that one.
But...
when he didn't get a laugh out of that one,
the master took off his toupee and said,
"It looks like...!
"You wig this one!
I'll-Master?
So now he's studying under him.
He gives me his wig and says, "You wig!?"
So now he's studying under him.
That's too damn funny!
He gave me his wig and said, "You wig!"
Some night
I can't remember why
We stayed up 'til 4 AM ('til 4 AM)
We talked about nothing important and then made love
The birds wake up we close our eyes
The birds wake up we close our eyes
I love how she calls my name inside her dream
Kisses me still half asleep
Don't I wish that we could stay like this
At 8AM
I stop the alarm to watch her sleep and think
I'd do anything if I could make this time rewind forever
To 7:59
