Do you think you can beat him?
You mean the primitive man?
Yeah.
I have no interest in that primitive man.
- But-- - Rumina.
That primitive man, "Pickle"...
That guy is a cultural treasure. You know what that means?
He's a precious asset to humanity.
And to fight him,
that's as impossible as making a pyramid your home.
You do know that he's stronger than a T-Rex, right?
So I've heard.
I find this hard to believe.
You even fought a praying mantis,
but you say you're not interested in him?
Rumina, I think you misunderstand me.
I don't want to become the best fighter in the world.
I just want to fight my dad and beat him.
But my dad is just so darn strong.
You were the same way before.
Before?
When you talk about your dad, Baki, you really look happy.
You think so?
Yeah, it's true.
Pickle never got sick of recalling over and over again
his first experience with what happened.
He remembers them pressing directly against one another.
The issue was what suddenly followed.
He thought,
"Was it the wind? No, it was totally different."
"That one, and that one, and not even that one does that."
"None of them do that."
An unsolvable puzzle had suddenly appeared in his mundane daily life.
It made Pickle happy.
KUNG FU TRAINING AND RESEARCH CENTER
Nine!
Just the ninth block broke!
Seven!
Four!
Awesome.
Just like he asked for.
Dang!
That is all.
Wow!
Amazing.
That was an incredible exhibition.
If you applied yourself, you could do it too, Baki.
I wouldn't be so sure. I'm not so good with that subtle stuff.
So, why'd you suddenly show up here today?
You want me to teach you kung fu?
Kung fu is a treasure trove of principles.
I don't care about your past record.
To me, you're a great veteran in martial arts.
Please teach me.
I must refuse.
Baki, I have no interest in you.
But...
To speak frankly,
right now, I'm not interested in anything at all.
Nor in anyone.
It's all due to one person.
I'm sure you already know of him.
The guy from the Jurassic period...
Pickle.
That's right!
Not him again!
But, Retsu, Pickle is--
I know!
He's an important treasure of culture and humanity.
I already understand that fully.
He is not someone to be fought.
I am fully aware of that.
But so what?
This feeling of mine,
my desire to fight a man, it is much like love.
I want to know him better.
I want to touch him. I want to grasp him.
It's very similar.
Right now, I am burning with passion
for that embodiment of savagery that has come from the distant past.
These skills that have been developed over 4,000 years,
I want to see how this ancient man responds to them.
I can't even fathom what he will do.
So I want to know. I want to fight him!
I got dumped.
"Pickle, Pickle, Pickle." That's all anyone cares about.
Japan's got Pickle on the brain.
He must think it's a pain too.
Captain Strydum and Mitsunari Tokugawa,
I sincerely appreciate your cooperation.
Pickle is an extremely valued treasure
not just for scientists like yourself, but for all humanity.
So for him not to consume anything besides water for a month...
I could not be more aware of just how grave this situation is.
He isn't a beast.
In fact, I would say that he is an extremely proud warrior.
An ambitious fighter.
He won't eat anything except enemies that fight him.
This is incredible.
This Jurassic fighter is astounding.
A fierce fighting bull brought from Spain,
one of the largest bears from Kamchatka,
and even a lion...
They each took just a glance at Pickle, who just sat there,
and fled.
The lion even ran off with its tail between its legs.
He wins the battle of the Jurassic period versus the present without even fighting.
But there is still one fighter that has not been tried!
It cost a pretty penny,
since it's a protected species in danger of going extinct.
I hope this can be forgiven. We're doing it all for this one irreplaceable man.
It hasn't eaten for five days.
It's in the perfect state.
The Siberian tiger is a beast, and the most powerful of the felines.
This one is 4.7 meters long and weighs 490 kilos.
It's one of the largest of its kind.
In other words, it's the most powerful beast on the planet.
It's enormous!
It's as large as a bull.
He stood up!
The tiger thinks Pickle is its prey.
Pickle thinks the same of it!
Whoa!
How terrifying!
It's nothing to be surprised about.
Whether it's a tabby cat or a Siberian tiger,
if it attacks him, it's food in his eyes.
ENDANGERED SIBERIAN V CULTURAL ASSET PICKLE
The Siberian tiger is on the verge of extinction,
but one has now become food for that Pickle.
We have a comment from Prof. Albert Payne on the incident.
Pickle's existence is a miracle.
I want everyone to fully understand that.
But Pickle's diet is threatened.
Do you understand? This is the food for one irreplaceable person.
The Siberian tiger is on the verge of extinction.
A deplorable situation.
But at present, the only food Pickle can eat is Siberian tigers.
I'm glad there are 500 Siberian tigers!
Don't think of it as "only" 500 tigers. We're glad to have 500 of them!
We should let him eat every last one!
So what if a single species goes extinct!
The value of Pickle alone far outweighs that of any other single animal species!
Upon hearing this comment, intellectuals in every field
and conservation groups have vehemently protested.
Some organizations plan to hold even more demonstrations.
MITSUNARI TOKUGAWA
The police were quite persistent with their questioning.
So, what brings you here, champion, Sea King Retsu?
Finding food for Pickle is giving you trouble, right?
The real problem is that his food is an endangered species.
From what I've heard,
he only eats things that come and attack him.
That's part of the problem.
I guess it's their natural instinct or sense.
Even the lion ran off with its tail between its legs when it saw Pickle.
Tokugawa.
You must be at a loss for what to do for Pickle's food.
Yes, it's a problem.
What would you do, Sea King Retsu?
Tokugawa, how about if I become its food?
Retsu...
He's come out!
Mr. Payne, who was undergoing questioning by the police, has just come out!
Professor Payne, do you regret what you did?
Where's Pickle?
Are you going to keep sacrificing endangered animals to him?
Please comment, Professor!
I am making this offer myself.
I want to be Pickle's prey.
Well, I'm not sure about letting a human become food...
Are you sure you want him to starve?
Isn't Pickle's very existence a miracle?
It's not possible, Retsu.
I can't let a human become his food.
My esteemed sir, do you think that I, Sea King Retsu,
would meekly allow myself to be eaten?
Yes, I will come before him as his prey.
But I have no intention of being eaten.
It'd be quite a spectacle.
Pickle versus Sea King Retsu.
Now you've said it!
That's ridiculous! Against a human?
Have you lost your minds?!
Come on, it'll be fine, Mr. Payne.
He says himself that he wants to do this.
It seems like nothing, but it's amazing how he can sleep like that.
Nearly all animals in nature go into hiding when they sleep.
But just look at this brazenness.
He's completely defenseless.
Lions on the savanna are that way,
so this must be natural for Pickle as well.
In nature's food chain,
this behavior is only practiced by those at the top.
The sleeping posture of kings.
Where he existed wasn't as forgiving as the savanna.
The natural world then was on a totally different scale.
The age of battling rivals, the Jurassic period.
Even so, look how peacefully he sleeps.
Like I've said!
If you realize this already, why be so reckless?!
In a way, no fight could be more intriguing.
I agree.
Pickle's natural power was bestowed on him by God.
The great Retsu is the master of 4,000 years of kung fu arts.
When these two face one another, what--
Nothing will happen at all!
He'll be eaten instantly and it'll be over!
Would you shut up!
"Shut up."
A Nobel laureate was told to "shut up."
Professor Payne fell into a state that he had never encountered before.
Come now, you two.
Won't you listen to what I have to say?
You witnessed the fighting power of Pickle yourselves!
The amount and quality of muscle he has, his weapons, are beyond human.
Did I wake him up?
You were making quite a racket, but it wasn't you.
You're not the one who woke him up.
Pickle is getting up!
No matter what appeared, Pickle always stayed seated.
You'd better believe it. Kung fu is nothing to be scoffed at.
The insanely savage man
detected he was facing an insanely worthy opponent.
He's taken up a fighting stance for the first time!
I'll throw everything I've got at you.
I'll never have this chance again.
I want to pit my strength squarely against yours.
That Chinese man is amazing.
He's clearly got Pickle on his guard.
Is he really going to close the gap between them himself?
Pickle, I'm inside your zone.
It'll never work!
Like I said, there's no use!
You just saw the absurd weight difference!
I get it now.
A fight of sheer strength is pointless.
I'll use all my tricks.
Is it...
Already over?!
Oh, is he crying?
He fell on his butt.
I kicked him straight in the face.
A normal person would have died.
To your toughness, I say...
Well done!
Impossible!
How can a human overpower Pickle?
Blows to the chin!
That was six straight blows to the chin!
Pickle must be suffering from concussions.
At least several thousand of them.
Ah, this bliss is incredible.
Please don't let it end here!
Huh?
He bit him!
He's eating him!
My punches have no effect on him.
He's... eating me!
Oh!
He's taking off his shoes!
He's taken the gloves off.
He's removed his shoes, which are like gloves,
and is fighting bare-knuckled.
You bastard, how dare you eat me
and cry!
These skills...
Martial arts and its history...
4,000 years of history has utterly no effect on him.
I never thought there'd be a world where martial arts have no effect.
It's mortifying.
Thank you, 4,000 years. I will no longer use those moves.
I can't stand to see that martial arts have no effect any longer.
Sea King Retsu...
SEA KING RETSU
This name was granted to me by my master.
This name was everything to me.
Eishu Retsu will defend it!
The name my father gave me.
The name my mother gave me.
Eishu Retsu will defend Sea King Retsu!
Huh? What's with that pose?
Is it kung fu?
Mortifying.
Windmill punch.
Strategy, tactics, plans, efficiency,
and all other tricks he completely abandoned.
He used only his pure emotions.
It was probably the oldest weapon of last resort
in human history,
but the results were...
Such... such a pathetic sight.
I can't believe Retsu is using the windmill punch.
Pickle was confused.
He fought back because he was being attacked.
Since he was so powerful, he fought with all his strength.
But this was just like
a female.
Oh! He used a move!
What the heck am I doing?
I thought I decided not to use any moves, principles, or skill!
I did it again!
- He's back! - His skills!
Wh... what's this?!
Retsu...
Retsu.
You coldhearted fool.
Don't be so cold, Retsu.
Who's that? Who are you!?
Don't you know?
I am you, Retsu.
I am the one you aim to be.
Who you want to become.
I am Sea King Retsu himself.
Is this... my ideal self?
It's quite unfortunate.
To protect your martial arts,
you used the windmill punch, abandoning all martial arts.
But the martial arts didn't abandon you.
You're being tested, Retsu.
Trust in yourself.
Forget about shouldering 4,000 years of history.
Don't worry about defending your arts. Surrender to your body.
Unless you do, you will never shoulder anything again...
Never...
Trust... in myself.
Trust... in my martial arts.
Trust in them.
Don't doubt yourself.
Trust entirely in yourself.
Entrust everything...
everything...
to the bosom of martial arts.
Wow!
That's exactly what it means
to shoulder 4,000 years of history!
