You are shameless!

What made Miyamoto Musashi

different from other warriors

as that he dreamed of being

the best fighter in the world

The best, the strongest man

in the world!

That is what you should dream of

to be as strong as your name

Baedal, 'the Korean people'

If you practice for

a thousand days

you're still a beginner

But if you practice for

ten thousand days

you can become a master

This is kyokushin

or 'pure truth'

The spirit of kyokushin means to do

your best, until the last moment

Today, I'm still walking

aimlessly

Help our lady!

Please help!

Stop it!

Let's go!

We shouldn't have seen it

- What the f*** up b*tch

- Help, please help the lady!

Officer! Help!

Those bastards are worse

than the police or yakuzas!

Let's go, hurry!

Please, help!

Please!

Please, don't do this!

Somebody help!

The Japs don't protect

their own girls

Why are you getting involved?

Sh*t!

Help

please help

Help!

Somebody help!

Do you speak Korean?

No?

How about Gyeongsang dialect?

Bastards

Baedal!

What are you doing? Let's go

Baedal, Baedal

Hey, you stupid fool

Are you crazy?

You have no idea what kind

of bastards they are

My goodness you idiot

And why are you smiling like?

You got a crush on her?

What?

You want me to teach you

something nice?

Catch birds at once

That girl

Oh, well, what am I doing now

What is it?

What is it?

It's getting cold

Hey, what are you waiting for?

Go out and work

You came here to sightsee?

Why? Too embarrassing?

You're a rickshaw-man

what do you worry about?

Wear a hat

then no one will recognize you

Hey!

What?

Is that what you meant

by something nice?

Why, you don't like?

Idiot it

Crazy bastard

don't complain Go!

Youko! You've got a crush

on him, don't you?

Setsu!

Setsu! Have you heard

of the brave tiger?

The brave tiger?

The mythical hero?

No, I mean, recently

Ah, the man who saves girls

from American soldiers?

That's just a story

That man who helped me

maybe he was the brave tiger?

Heck, no!

I'm sure he was the brave tiger

If not, how come he would risk

his life to save me?

Then you think the guy who saved

you is a hero? The brave tiger?

A hero is protecting girls

in this neighborhood?

WANTED:

Youko

Somebody to see you Go outside

What are you doing?

Get off!

Get off! Hurry!

Don't move!

They're after you, aren't they?

Don't worry

I won't tell the police

You saved me the other day

didn't you? The brave tiger?

Oh, well, that is

This scar it's from that day

It must've been very painful

Thank you, Miss Youko

Thank you for your kind help

Oh? How do you know my name,

Baedal?

Oh, I could ask the same of you

You seem about my age

Baedal! Let's be friends!

Friends?

Get on

Thank you

Let's go

Thank you

Youko, Youko

wait a minute

Here

Thank you Oh, Baedal

I'll give some of my noodles

Thank you

Baedal, slow down

Are you Ok?

Follow me

Long time no see, brave tiger?

I don't understand

Don't you know what we did

to Korean women?

Why are you helping

Japanese women?

Is that why you called me here?

I have been practicing karate

since I was five

and I have never been beaten

by anyone in a fight

You're the first one to hit me

In that sense, I acknowledge

your fighting spirit

But that's all

Don't ever talk of the brave tiger

or pretend to have

a noble samurai spirit!

Next time I see you

you'll be dead!

Have some fun here!

It's pachinko!

Get out of my lane

Pachinko!

Louder! Louder!

Go away!

Find the rationing tickets!

Find them! Check everywhere!

Pachinko, ah, I'm hungry

Hey, why so glum?

Why are you so happy?

The yakuzas came here a while ago

so I was really worried

But they just passed by

They seemed to be going

somewhere else

Where?

Over there,

near the railway that way

Where?

Where are the ration tickets?

Here! Come this way!

Are the ration tickets

more important than your life?

Baedal, Baedal! Wake up!

Baedal, Baedal!

Justice without power is empty but

power without justice is only

violence

Be strong to protect yourself

and others

Baedal!

Youko

Justice without power is empty

but power without justice

is only violence

Be strong to protect yourself

and others

Baedal!

Take care

NIJO DOJO:

I'm Choi Baedal

I'm studying karate

I'm the master here, Sattani

I heard that the Nijo dojo

is a wonderful place

with an old tradition

Would you please help me

to have a match with someone here?

According to the rules

it is not permitted to have

fights with outsiders

What if you got hurt in the fight?

The one who fights me won't get

hurt if he wears this protector

I'm the one asking for this fight

I don't mind dying

How dare you

the bed-wetter of Ikebukuro

pretends to be a great warrior

Let's teach him a lesson

Please
