What am I up to now?
Oh, you know, just another squabble with my old man.
Mr. Saman,
we understand that you're the sole survivor of this grisly incident.
But still, are you aware
that your recent actions have been drawing criticism from all over the world?
Yes, I am.
Just to clarify, you called in the army to hunt down a single African elephant.
It's that decision that's left the whole world in shock.
Let me be absolutely clear,
our duty as park rangers is to protect the plants and wildlife of the Savanna.
To the point of mobilizing the army?
Do you think that we're talking about an ordinary African elephant here?
What the heck does he mean by that?
Look, all of us have seen the aerial photographs of the incident.
Are you saying it wasn't an African elephant?
Go to the site and take a look at the carcass yourself!
It's ridiculously large!
It's extraordinary.
Frankly, it's like something out of the prehistoric times.
Please, Mr. Saman, let's keep things calm and rational.
The real issue here is the use of weapons, regardless of how--
-977 animals and 41 people. -Hmm?
Those are the numbers of animals and people
that have fallen victim to that huge monster.
21.2 tons.
That's the average amount of food that beast devours in just a single day.
If it were left alone, in two years' time,
90% of the park would have turned into desert.
The inevitable result of the herbivores dying out from that change
would be the death of the carnivores as well.
The methods we used weren't wrong.
If we made any kind of mistake at all in the way we handled this,
it's in the number of troops that we deployed
and the kinds of weapons we chose to use against that monster!
And frankly, I think we should have called in an airstrike!
Are you aware that what you're saying is being heard by the entire world?
It's unfortunate we didn't.
In the end, we weren't even able to get one single shot fired off.
Uh, but if that's the case,
then how did the elephant end up…
Out of nowhere, a man showed up.
Who is…
Just as that monster was leaving, after completely devastating our forces,
a man showed up and placed himself in front of the beast.
Mm.
Mm. Mm.
With no weapons, barefisted,
he defeated that huge monster.
Do you expect us,
no, wait, the whole world to believe that?
Listen, I've stated the facts.
What more do you people want?
Wait! Mr. Saman!
Are you running away?
Then again, why would you believe it?
Even I don't,
and I saw it with my own two eyes.
Daddy.
-Daddy! -Mm-- Hmm?
You know I believe you, Daddy.
Mm?
Really? Even if the whole world is out there calling me a liar?
I mean, I know that sometimes,
because of work, you have to break your promises to me,
but that doesn't make you a liar.
Daddy,
was that man you saw really as strong as you say?
Yes.
He was astonishing.
Even stronger than a lion?
That's right. Without a doubt, he was.
Stronger than a rhino?
-Listen, Julio. -Oh.
My son.
You're the only person I'll tell this to.
This story is so fantastic
that any rational adult wouldn't even listen to me.
The whole tale sounds like a fairy tale or something.
Who do you think could beat him in a fight, Daddy?
-I don't think anybody could, son. -Even if there was someone just like him?
Hmm…
Like maybe his son once he's all grown up?
Maybe.
All right!
Think he'll go in?
No way.
What are we gonna do if he doesn't?
Tease him until he commits suicide.
But we asked him to fight a high schooler!
Who cares? He's the one who has to do it.
-He's going in! -He's really doing it!
What an idiot.
He really did it. He went in.
-Yeah. -Oh.
Do you guys know about this school?
Huh?
They say there's a monster here.
A monster?
A delinquent?
My uncle once told me
that the strongest high schooler in the world goes here.
Hey, kid?
You have something for us?
Like a delivery?
Huh?
-What? -Uh…
-Kid's threatening us! -He's come to wipe us out!
Let me get this straight, you came here to pick a fight with us?
Uh, send… out--
What?
Send… out…
your strongest guy, so… I mean, please send out…
Hmm.
So, you just said that and then ran away?
Is that what happened?
They said I should wait.
Huh?
For what?
They just said, "After school at the Tama River."
Look, kid, I'm sorry, but…
you're barking up the wrong tree here.
None of us is the strongest.
But tell you what, we'll get you the strongest in the world, okay?
Now listen, kid,
wait down at Tama River, and we'll send him to you.
This is for real. You got it?
So if you don't keep your promise, we'll have a serious problem.
Okay.
Huh?
This just got real interesting.
-Take this! -Hey, ow!
Gotcha!
Look, you guys.
Huh?
He came. He really came.
The strongest high schooler in the world came to fight me!
He's here!
My name's Baki Hanma.
To be honest,
for being the world's strongest,
he's a lot smaller than I imagined he'd be.
I'm Rumina Ayukawa. Hi.
So, you gonna use that?
Huh?
Oh, I thought that I--
It was the first time in my life seeing real muscles.
In that case…
And then right before my eyes,
as clear as day,
Baki transformed into the world's strongest.
Don't expect me to hold back.
Against an elementary schooler like me?
Is he kidding?
Nope! He's not kidding!
-Uh, he's ready to fight! -Hmm.
He can't be serious.
I was bullied into this,
but not once did I really believe
that a high schooler would seriously agree to take on an elementary school student.
And he's the world's best!
I'm only pretending to be tough.
I thought he'd just give me a big smile and take it easy on me.
And I was so wrong!
-Can you swim? -Huh?
Hmm.
A little bit.
What in the world?
Why are you ask--
The world's strongest disappeared right before my eyes.
My ass!
Even if I live to be 80 years old,
this will undoubtedly be…
my greatest…
…shock.
Guess he was serious.
-What the hell? -Huh?
It's shallow!
That day, for the first time in 12 years,
for the first time in my whole life…
From now on,
we're friends.
…I became aware that I was a man.
I hit you as hard as I could.
Huh?
Rumina Ayukawa, I just hit you with every ounce of my strength.
And all of my strength, Rumina, is over a hundred times more than theirs.
They look so small from here.
They do, don't they!
Ah…
Oh! Captain Strydum!
It was just like a fairy tale.
Baki's father, the strongest man in the world,
had killed a humongous, crazed, evil elephant.
An African elephant the size of a dinosaur?
Baki, do you actually understand what all of this means?
-Hmm! -Wow! No way!
He accepted?
That's right.
The Ogre has recognized you as a true challenger.
So then, how are you going to respond?
Huh?
Captain, this is a silly fight between a father and son.
It's the kind of thing that happens in families all the time.
Nothing that an American like you should be poking your nose into.
I will be poking my nose into it, Baki.
Just an argument between a father and son, huh?
You are gravely mistaken.
This whole situation is basically the same as two countries going to war.
Aw, he's upset.
Hey, Captain!
In the meantime, I'll just find some rando to spar with.
That sound good to you?
He's all bent out of shape.
Baki, is it okay if I ask you a question?
Hmm?
Your dad is stronger than an African elephant,
so is sparring against a rando going to be enough?
Rumina.
"Rando" doesn't mean "half-assed."
I'll spar against a "random" opponent as strong as a dinosaur.
-Wanna see? -Huh?
I'm going to spar with him right now.
The way that Baki's moving, this is shadowboxing.
I actually know a lot about boxing.
Shadowboxing is a basic kind of training.
All boxers do it, from top champions on down to beginners.
All you have to do is imagine your opponent standing in front of you.
You picture slipping past imagined punches and striking at imagined openings.
He's getting faster and more focused.
There's nothing half-assed about this.
This isn't like any kind of shadowboxing that I've ever seen before.
Rather than just imagining an opponent in front of him,
it's like there's a real opponent
actually standing right there facing off against him.
Huh? Huh? Huh?
I saw it! I mean, I see it!
I don't believe my own eyes.
It's not very clear,
but there's definitely something there.
Whatever it is, it's clearly facing off against Baki.
Look, it punched!
It dodged!
I can't pretend I'm not seeing what I'm seeing.
It's definitely happening.
The opponent that Baki's imagining is a boxer.
I know a lot about boxing.
Baki's focus and the fact that he's struggling,
it all makes perfect sense.
I can see it.
The movement of Baki's feet, and of his hands,
not to mention his body.
From watching his performance, it's all completely clear.
The person that Baki's fighting
is a former undisputed world heavyweight champion.
It's Iron Michael himself!
Iron Michael.
I'll admit that I don't know everything about the history of boxing.
But I do know that at one point in time,
Iron Michael was considered the strongest boxer who ever lived.
And now I'm seeing him right before my very eyes.
He's so fast, just like he was in his prime!
The Iron Michael that I've only ever seen in videos
is right here fighting in front of me!
Oh no!
A left body blow followed by an uppercut!
Michael's winning combo!
Baki, no! It connected!
Uh, what are the two of them even doing over there?
They're just goofing, right?
Baki, your nose.
It's nothing.
His body's bruised.
Now I'm all warmed up.
So…
let's finish this.
Oh!
That was illegal.
Yeah, it's illegal.
Or at least in boxing it is.
Um…
Yeah?
So, uh, what were you guys just doing?
A little shadowboxing.
Alone?
It is shadowboxing.
But you're bruised and have a nose bleed.
Well, you can still get hurt if it's done right.
What? No way.
Check it out.
In my hand, I'm holding five pickled plums
and a nice big slice of lemon.
Huh?
Sour pickled plums and a super sour lemon.
Ah…
And I'm gonna shove 'em all right into your mouths.
Oh, and I'll cover your mouths too, so there's nothing you can do about it,
except chew it all up and swallow it down.
Your mouths are stuffed with pickled plums and lemon.
So sour!
It's a mystery of the human body.
Of course there aren't any pickled plums or lemons in your mouths.
And yet right now your mouths are watering.
I'm surprised you could tell.
Huh?
About the shadowboxing.
Well, I just happen to know a lot about boxing.
What about the opponent I was fighting?
It was Iron Michael.
The former undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.
Huh.
That's what you meant when you said a "random"
but not "half-assed" opponent, right?
I get it. He was the perfect match.
A "random opponent."
It'd be a breeze if I was going up against someone like Michael.
Huh?
That was just a warm-up.
So I could loosen my muscles.
Iron Michael was just a warm-up?
