Masaru, we'll be late again.
So what?
They'll flunk us if we go on like this.
Who gives a shit?
Someday we'll show them what we got.
KIDS RETURN: THE REUNION
Use your legs.
Move.
Keep your chin down.
Don't move back, go around!
Footwork.
Hi, guys.
You. Keep your left arm up.
Good work.
You okay?
Just remember to clean out your locker by end of the month.
Thank you for everything.
Make sure to watch your chin. Use your head.
Go! Go!
Go! What the... That's it! Let's go!
Damn it!
Let's break.
Break time!
Good afternoon.
Ms. Ono. There's a delivery for you in the office.
Thank you so much.
Du you need some help?
I'm fine.
That's very kind. Thank you.
We disbanded our family.
All what's left is this apartment and half of the former turf.
Boss went back to his hometown
and entered a nursing home.
I see.
From Boss to you,
Not enough to compensate for five-year jail time.
Still can't move your left arm?
No.
I'm back, sir.
The video arcade still isn't paying up.
I'm sorry.
Masaru.
Go get something to eat.
Don't you have smaller bills?
Take it or leave it.
What's your problem, you idiot!
Make sure to pay me back.
Whatever,
I'm not gonna pay.
Let's bet which sex will cross the bridge next.
I bet on man.
Then woman, I guess.
- Double the raise if with a dog. - The same if with a bicycle.
You, lend me some money.
It's a man.
Thank you man!
What?
But, bicycle.
He was bald. Bicycle?
The point is he's a man.
Have things changed here?
No.
You have a favorite hangout?
A bar?
Hey.
Yes?
What happened?
What do you mean?
Our family,
We are at a dead-end.
The police are cracking down harder and we can't do anything-
Our revenues from the turf is in half.
Take it.
You collected this money.
That's not what I meant.
I know.
Hey.
Geezer, you ain't welcome.
You idiot.
Beer!
Can you turn on the signboard?
Sure.
May I have a beer please.
Yes.
Coming right up.
This way.
Please.
Good evening.
Is there a problem?
Nothing. I'm leaving.
- Really? - Sorry.
What should we do, Yuji?
So you know each other.
Well... yes.
She's your girl?
Asshole.
- I'm sorry. - Never mind.
I'm leaving for tonight. I've got places to go.
None of this would've happened if you could shut your mouth!
Don't you know I've canceled all the appointments at the parlor?
Your appointments? You embarrassed me in front of my senior!
What kind of outfit is that anyway!
Damn it.
Open the door.
I've got nowhere to go.
My win today.
All l owe you now is 2,000 yen, you bastard.
Don't speak to him like that.
What now, you idiot.
I bet 5,000 yen on you two getting a shotgun wedding.
That's exactly why your wife and kids left you. You idiot!
Shut up you idiot.
This place is too cold.
It's freezing in here, right?
Stop it!
Drink sensibly!
What's this?
That's all I am told to give you.
- Come with me. - What?
10 tickets for 2 and 5,
10 for 5 and 6.
Sorry I gotta go. I'll call you back right away.
What do you want?
What do I want? What the fuck is this.
That's how much Mr. Sakiyama told us to pay.
You mean, Uncle Sakiyama?
I'm so sorry. l must've made a mistake.
This is all I have right now.
Have it ready by next time.
Sir.
What?
Nothing.
Give me your birthdate.
May 12th.
How is it?
Not good.
Why did you pay him money?
I'm sorry.
How will you explain it to Mr. Sakiyama?
He called him Uncle...
Listen.
I'll fucking fire you if you can't do what you are told.
Hey you!
Where the fuck were you looking at.
- Hey, I'm asking you. - Sorry.
Sorry doesn't cut it.
- Please don't. - Fuck you.
Look at what you've done.
Take those earphones out, asshole.
Listen when I'm talking. What the fuck will you do?
It's broken.
Fuck it. Give me your card.
- I don't have it... - You fucking work here!
Have some fucking responsibility!
Brother.
Please take this.
Fine.
What the fuck are you gonna do about this!
I'm fucking pissed off!
What're you gonna do!
What are they up to?
What're you gonna do now!
You fucker!
Calling me a fucker?
You fucks, I'm gonna...
Shut the fuck up!
What happened?
That guy suddenly harassed me, take my place.
What are you looking at?
Masaru?
Shinji!
Masaru?
What are you doing here?
Me? Well...
You got some time?
Yes.
Let's drink.
Sure.
This is Manami.
Hi.
Heard a lot about you already.
Nothing good, I suppose.
He said you gave him all kinds of help.
Sorry, gotta run to the groceries.
Is the scar from a match?
So, you are still in the game.
Actually, I just quit.
Is the injury that bad?
It's not that.
It's difficult to say...
... I kind of gave up on fighting.
What's with you? A former rookie of the year.
My recent matches are all... fixed.
The opponents are all in the higher ranks. There's no chance in me winning.
What?
So you are an underdog.
Since when have you changed?
Who cares if they are in the higher ranks. Just knock 'em out.
Just crush 'em.
You used to be stronger.
You even beat me.
Be a champion.
Yuki just broke up with her boyfriend.
So what?
Introduce her to Masaru.
You nuts? No way I can do such thing.
Why? Are you scared?
Shut up!
Why are you so mean all the time.
It's because you give me crap all the time, you idiot!
You are so mean.
Don't waste it on other girls. What is it for anyway?
I told you it's for Mr. Murosawa's birthday gift.
Is there a party?
Can I go?
Why would you go? You are such an idiot!
What are you looking at?
I'm not the one to say this, but....
Let's show them what we got.
Okay?
Let me know your next match. I'll definitely be there.
See you.
He's nice.
Masaru told me not to quit boxing.
NO FLYERS
Hey you!
What you think you are doing? Read the sign!
I'll kill you if you're back.
Pisses me off.
It's not what you think. He was trying to...
I guess... I'm sorry.
Hand him this letter.
Yes.
Happy Birthday, Mr. Murosawa.
Shut up, you bastard.
Batteries are not included.
Enough about that. Take him to Sakiyama's office.
Yes sir.
Moron.
It's fine with me.
I'm sorry to change my mind.
Your boxing license is still valid, right?
Yes.
Just bring the membership fee tomorrow.
Yes sir. Thank you for your help.
Goodbye, sir.
You sure about this?
Our cut was to be 10'% of the profit.
But Sakiyama never keeps his word.
What line of business is he in?
All kinds of things. Logistics, real estate...
SAKIYAMA ENTERPRISE
This way.
Good to see you.
Apologies for the sudden notice.
Come in.
Thank you.
You look good.
Thank you.
This is from Mr. Murosawa.
Where are you going?
Taking a piss!
So you are with Mr. Murosawa.
Yes.
Leave him and join me.
I'm sorry.
I'm only kidding.
Mr. Murosawa must be pleased.
It's not much.
Thank you.
I'm going to run things here from now.
I ask for your understanding.
Masaru.
Does this town look the same to you?
Boss gave up the turf, you know.
Why should we let you take over?
Mr. Murosawa inherited it.
Let us honor the codes.
Mr. Takagi.
You were once a rookie of the year champion?
I'm in this year's tournament. Can you spar with me?
Ready?
7 wins and 0 losses?
Mine's a former rookie of the year champion.
I see.
Mine will adjust to your weight division.
Instead, please raise the fighting prize.
After all, he's the former rookie of the year champion.
No matter what you say, My deals are with Mr. Sakiyama.
That's no excuse to us!
The cops have been on my back too. I ain't paying.
So what?
You expect cops to cover your black marketing ass?
Brother.
I'll crush you.
Takagi.
Yes.
The chairman already picked your match.
The guy's undefeated for 7 matches.
You also have to lower one weight division.
You going to take it?
Yes.
You can do it Shinji!
Knock him out!
Shinji, knock him out next round!
Don't push yourself. Let it go to decision.
Breathe in and out.
Keep your distance.
Step out, get around him.
Step out! Get out of there.
Don't knock up!
The judges' decision were fucked.
Even the opponent knew he lost.
Hey your decision sucks.
Where the fuck are your eyes? it's obvious that he won.
For how much where you bribed for?
You cheating mother fuckers!
Forget about it. Knock out the next one.
Don't worry. You'll win.
Drink up.
What the fuck are you looking at?
What's your problem!
Get out.
Yuji.
Yes.
Wait for me outside.
I'm sorry.
You're scaring away the customers sitting like that, idiot.
I'm sorry.
Go get the car, we're leaving.
Yes sir.
Is it spicy?
I might've put too much pepper.
- I also put in salt-marinated rice malt. - What the hell's that?
You don't know? It's so popular now.
How should I know?
UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Will taking a right take me to Yokohama?
What?
Will taking a right take me to Yokohama?
I don't know.
Why don't you know?
What'll we do?
Why are you laughing?
Why the fuck are you laughing?
Is this funny to you?
Oh... sorry.
You think this is a joke?
Shut up!
Don't fuck with me!
Stop this, leave him.
You're in deep shit.
What?
I understand.
A 10-person crew, then.
I'll visit the first site in the afternoon.
Thank you so much.
Hurry it up.
In the trunk.
Here's your salary until today.
Don't bother coming again.
Sorry.
What now?
I want to quit too.
Okay.
Yes. I think so.
By the end of next month. Thank you.
Earthquake resistant, disaster-prevention... So troublesome.
Don't take this the wrong way.
How about going to Kyushu for me.
What do you mean?
Remember Mr. Hirose? The Boss's brother?
Yes.
His clan is short of hands after the recent crackdown.
He asked me to send over some men.
Seems like he has trust in you.
He promises to hand over his turf to you eventually.
What do think?
Not a bad deal, is it?
There isn't too much future staying here.
I don't think so.
Do you honestly think so?
This town is not for you anymore.
Think about it.
Don't be a hero, idiot.
It's not that.
Then what?
Boxing.
You'll take up boxing again?
What the fuck? Why didn't you say so, you idiot?
Here's your 2,000 yen.
No more debts to you.
See ya.
Use your whole body.
Punch through.
Hit harder.
Use your body.
I said use it!
You guys stay here.
Please take care.
Should I order lunch, Yuji?
Brother?
Do as you like.
I'll get some burgers then.
- What kind of Yakuza eats burgers? - Me!
FEMALE BOXERS WELCOME!
Do you think they'd actually join?
Shut up. That's why we're refurbishing the building.
Hey, let's finish this.
So, how is Takagi doing?
Make sure he wins the next match.
C'mon. The opponent is in the national rankings.
That's why he's gotta win.
He'll be in the national rankings, higher prize money for us.
Can't we discuss more about Takagi rather than business?
He'll be the underdog again.
Don't be naive.
What does it matter if he wins?
That's what I pay you for.
Enough already. Let's finish this.
For the 6th race...
Yes, I just got a cold in the nose.
4-1,4-3.
And 4-8. Double wheel with 4, right?
Why weren't you at the funeral?
He did look after you.
You are lacking respect.
Better straighten up.
By the way...
Masaru may be an annoyance to you.
But if you mess with him,
I'll deal with you personally.
Focus!
It's your chance, finish him!
Back in school, Shinji and I were mugging these kids.
Few days later,
they came back with a boxer to take revenge.
I was knocked out in a flash.
I was so frustrated, and decided to start boxing, with Shinji.
Later,
Shinji and I sparred and he knocked me down twice.
I was no match for him.
So I gave up boxing
and became a yakuza.
Long story.
You were the one asked.
Sorry.
Besides, isn't it unlawful to serve drinks to the likes of mine?
Yes.
But I don't consider you as a customer.
- it's on the house? - No way.
Shinji is not a customer and so are you.
Whatever,
But tell me if I cause you trouble.
Then respect the closing time.
Yes ma'am.
What took you so long?
I got interviewed.
Really?
When will it come out?
Next month.
Good for you!
You've gained weight, Masaru.
- No one gains weight in prison. - I swear you did.
Shut up!
Start boxing and you'll get thin quick.
- I've never heard of a one-armed boxer. - Sounds cool, though.
Hey, you mocking me?
- You can go on a world tour. - Shut up!
Hey this hurts my ass.
- Your ass? - Yeah. Buy a car.
Keep your guard up.
Way to go, Shinji!
Shinji!
Shinji, let's go get some drink. Come down! Hurry!
Too much tension.
You gotta relax!
Okay, that's enough.
Don't get tired out here.
What a streak.
Your last opponent just retired.
He may be stronger than we think.
Can't you win for once? How can you keep losing?
Sir, please. it's right before his match.
May I have a minute, Mr. Chairman.
Don't take it so hard.
On the 29th, then.
Thanks for the arrangement.
I've just arranged Takagi's next match.
A title match for the Japan Championship.
Tell it to Takagi.
I was slashed in a fight. I can't move it.
I hope you didn't mind me asking.
Don't mind. I'd rather have people ask.
You're coming to the next match?
I think I'll pass.
Why? You don't like boxing?
No, it's not that.
It's not my place to go.
Sure it is.
I have my own way of rooting for him.
I don't want him to have any regrets.
Right.
Good day, sir.
You always wear the same thing.
Yes.
Here, go buy some clothes.
Thank you!
Could you please take care of this?
It's only because I tell them
that they've been patient. But...
I'm sorry.
I got it.
Thank you for your time.
Call in Detective Takahashi.
Yes sir.
Thank you.
About room 305.
New resident is coming in next month. So clean it up.
Is it a chick?
I'm sorry.
Mr. Murosawa,
I've thought about Mr, Hirose's offer.
Will you go?
Yes.
Where is he going?
Shut it. Head back to your hometown with your girl.
No way.
Where are you going?
The waitress was hot.
- She's your type? - She is.
That kid never cleans up!
Yuji!
What the fuck are you doing!
You're under arrest for illegal possession of a firearm.
What's this bullshit!
Cut it out!
Time?
PM 2:04. Immediate Arrest.
You punk!
Let me go!
Mr. Kurosawa!
Keep your cool.
Let me go!
Can you see this finger.
No.
You may have retinal detachment.
Go to the doctor.
Your eye is more important than boxing.
It's not fair.
You.
Brother.
You are leaving for Mr, Hirose in Kyushu?
Yuji,
you keep your cool.
Thai prick. He missed his last payment again.
Sir.
What?
Is it possible to cancel Takagi's match?
Cut your crap. It's the Japan title match.
But the thing is...
What about him?
Don't mince words.
That kindness of yours has spoiled the boxers.
How many boxers have you spoiled?
It's not the case.
Takagi has a retinal detachment. He's losing his vision in the left eye.
His license will be revoked if the commission finds out.
And yours too.
You're the only one who knows of his eye?
Yes.
Have the surgery after the match.
I didn't arrange this match.
Takagi is a chosen contender.
It's his once In a lifetime chance.
You might go blind.
I know.
I...
I want to do it.
Even if it'll be the last match.
Let's go back to hometown, Yuji.
We can start over again.
How are you doing?
Not bad.
You have to win.
Be a champion.
It's a title match but...
for the opponent, it's only a run up to his world title.
It doesn't matter. Just crush him.
How about you? Are you doing good?
Sort of.
Promise me to come see my little match.
Of course, I will.
When you become a champ,
take me to Hawaii or somewhere.
Good idea.
BUS TERMINAL
Hey...
Go back to your hometown.
Why?
Just go.
No.
Yuji...
Let's go somewhere far away.
Hey geezer, you're still alive.
Don't count me dead, you idiot.
Come in.
No. I just stopped by to give you this.
What is it?
Your ticket for his match. You've never seen one, right?
Why don't you go see him for once.
Later.
I'm not going to turn my boys in. Okay?
I'll take care of it.
