STATIONED BEFORE THIS?
(Junior Oficer)
AFGHANISTAN.
(Terry) THAT'S
RIGHT, AFGHANISTAN.
MILLION-DOLLAR
SURVEILLANCE EQUIPMEN
SENT TO THE HILLS OF TORA
BORA, THOUSANDS OF MILES
AWAY FROM CIVILIZATION.
ANYTHING I WANTED WAS
A PHONE CALL AWAY.
SO COULD SOMEBODY PLEASE
TELL TO ME HOW I CAN BE IN
THE MOS TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED
COUNTRY IN THE
WORLD, AND NOT GET ONE
DECENT SURVEILLANCE CAMERA?
(Junior Oficer) I DON'T...
(ChiZuru) IORI...
I'M SO GLAD YOU COULD
FINALLY MAKE IT.
(Iori) I AM SO
SORRY WE'RE LATE.
CHIZURU, THIS
IS MAI SHIRANUI.
(Mai) IT'S SO WONDERFUL
TO FINALLY MEET YOU.
OH, I UNDERSTAND
CONGRATULATIONS
ARE IN ORDER.
WELL, THANK
YOU VERY MUCH.
YOU'VE COME A
LONG WAY THIS PAST YEAR.
I CAN'T REMEMBER
WHEN WE'VE HAD A
FIGHTER QUITE SO DRIVEN.
WELL, NOW THAT YOU'RE
HERE, I GUESS WE CAN BEGIN.
TRUTH BE TOLD,
I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS.
(Iori) WHAT'S GOING ON?
WELL, THESE
ARTIFACTS HAVE NEVER BEEN
DISPLAYED LIKE THIS.
WELL THEN,
WHY RISK IT?
IF ANYTHING
SHOULD HAPPEN...
TAKAO IWATA INSISTED.
HE'S IN FINANCIAL CONTROL
OF THE TOURNAMENT, AND
IT'S NO SECRET HE
LIKES TO SHOW OFF.
I JUST HAVE TO MAKE SURE
THE SECURITY WE'VE PUT IN
PLACE IS ADEQUATE.
(Terry) DOES SHE KNOW
ABOUT OUR CAMERAS?
(Junior Oficer) I, UH,
DON'T THINK SO,
(Iori) THANK YOU.
(Mai) WOW... LOOK AT YOU.
THE WAY THEY TREAT YOU,
YOU'D THINK
YOU WERE THE KING OF FIGHTERS.
I'VE BEEN
RETIRED WAY TOO LONG.
NO, I'VE BEEN INVITED
BECAUSE I'M THE LAST OF
THE YAGAMI CLAN.
YOU NEVER TOLD ME
WHY YOU RETIRED SO EARLY.
IT'S COMPLICATED.
WELL, YOU'RE A
COMPLICATED GUY, IORI.
I WOULDN'T EXPEC IT TO BE SIMPLE.
ANOTHER TIME.
PROMISE?
I WILL.
HEY, THAT'S
NOT A PROMISE.
I WILL.
COME ON.
(ChiZuru) I'M SORRY
TO KEEP YOU WAITING, MR. IWATA.
PLEASE, FOLLOW ME.
(Iori) COME WITH ME. COME ON.
BEST SEATS IN THE HOUSE.
(Iori) THERE THEY ARE,
THE TREASURES OF THE CLANS.
THESE MAKE THE KING
OF FIGHTERS
TOURNAMENT POSSIBLE.
(Iori) YOU NEED
TO TAKE THAT?
NO, I DON'T.
YOU HAVE MY FULL ATTENTION
TONIGHT, I'M SORRY.
SIT DOWN. WELL, THE SECRET...
OF THE TREASURES
ARE MEANT TO BE
KEPT WITHIN THE CLANS.
(Mai) OH.
BUT I CAN
TELL YOU A LITTLE.
OKAY.
THE YASAKANI NO
MAGATAMA WAS CREATED
BY MY ANCESTORS.
ALMOST 2,000 YEARS AGO.
AT THAT TIME, THE
NECKLACE POSSESSED...
THE ENERGY TO UNLOCK
THE DOOR. IT'S THE KEY.
THE YATA MIRROR
IS THE DOOR...
AND IT WAS THE YATA CLAN
WHO FIRST CREATED THE MIRROR.
CHIZURU IS THE LAS DESCENDANT OF THAT CLAN.
AND DO YOU REMEMBER
WHAT HAPPENS UH, WHEN YOU
DIRECT THE ENERGY OF
THE NECKLACE INTO THE SHIELD?
YOU UNLOCK THE PASSAGEWAY
TO THE OTHER DIMENSION
EXACTLY.
BUT I STILL DON' UNDERSTAND. I MEAN...
YOU HAVE A
NECKLACE AND A MIRROR...
IT'S NOT LOGICAL. HOW?
OH, MISS LOGICAL, I FORGOT.
IORI, WE'RE USING EARPIECES.
I MEAN, HOW DOES
THAT EVEN HAPPEN?
LOOK, I KNOW I DOESN'T LOOK LIKE MUCH,
BUT THAT'S THE POINT.
CHIZURU'S FATHER WAS A
GENIUS, AND HE WAS ABLE TO
CONSOLIDATE THE EXISTING
ENERGY WAVES FROM THESE
ARTIFACTS AND
CONDENSE THEM INTO
THE EARPIECES WE'RE USING TODAY.
NOW, AT THE PUSH OF A
BUTTON, WE'RE ABLE TO...
ENTER ANOTHER DIMENSION.
WOW.
I KNOW, IT'S CRAZY.
WELL, WHA ABOUT THAT THIRD ONE?
IT'S THE KUSANAGI SWORD...
THE MOST IMPORTAN OF THE TREASURES.
ONLY THE SWORD...
CAN DEFEAT THE OROCHI.
WHAT IS THAT?
(Iori) THE OROCHI IS A
SPIRIT, OR A DEMON,
THAT WAS BANISHED TO THE
DIMENSION 1800 YEARS AGO.
LEGEND HAS IT PROMISING
UNLIMITED POWER TO
ANYONE THAT FREES IT, BUT HE
WOULD HAVE TO POSSESS
ALL THREE TREASURES TO DO SO.
(Mai) WHAT WOULD HAPPEN
IF HE WAS FREED?
THAT'S A LESSON FOR ANOTHER
DAY, WHEN YOU'RE READY
HOPEFULLY SOON.
(GUARD) I'M LOOKING TO DO MORE
I THINK I NEED TO
(Terry) GO! GO, GO, GO, GO!
LET'S GET A
CLOSER LOOK, OKAY?
WHAT?
WHO IS THAT?
COME ON.
(Rugal) CHIZURU...
HOW ARE YOU, RUGAL?
(Guard) EXCUSE ME.
(Rugal) PEEK-A-BOO.
(Terry) GO!
(Iori) CHIZURU...
(Iori) SHE'S HURT BAD.
(Mai) CHIZURU, LOOK
AT ME, LOOK AT ME.
(ChiZuru) WHERE'S RUGAL?
(Mai) HE'S DOWN.
DON'T WORRY, RELAX.
(ChiZuru) THE RELICS...
(ChiZuru) HE WANTS... BACK IN.
(Iori) THE RELICS ARE...
(Iori) CALL FOR HELP.
(Mai) WE NEED
AN AMBULANCE!
(Mai) CALL 911!
(Rugal) IORI!
(Rugal) COME WITH ME.
REMEMBER WHAT WAITS FOR
US ON THE OTHER SIDE.
I CAN'T, AND I
CAN'T LET YOU EITHER.
OKAY.
MORE FOR ME THEN.
(Rugal) WOULDN'T IT BE
IRONIC IF I WAS TO KILL
YOU NOW WITH THIS SWORD?
(Terry) COME OU WITH YOUR HANDS UP!
(Rugal) GOD...
(Agent #1) STAY
DOWN! HANDS ABOVE YOUR HEAD!
(Terry) NO, GO, GO!
IT'S THE OTHER GUY,
IT'S THE OTHER GUY.
(Rugal) THANKS FOR
THE LESSON, CHIZURU.
(Agent #1) NO WAY
OUT. HE'S TRAPPED.
(Terry) OKAY, ARE
THERE ANY WINDOWS?
(Terry) WAIT!
BACK OFF! BACK OFF!
(Iori) YOU'RE
LETTING HIM GET AWAY!
LET ME IN THERE
BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.
(Terry) BACK OFF!
(Iori) RUGAL...
(Iori)... STOP!
(Terry) GET ON THE GROUND!
(Terry) WHAT THE
HELL WAS THAT?
(Iori) HE DIDN' TAKE THE SWORD.
(ChiZuru) THE
SWORD IS A FAKE.
(Mai) WHAT?
RUGAL'S
GOING BACK IN.
PEOPLE WILL DIE IF YOU
DON'T FIND THE REAL ONE.
CHIZURU,
IT'S JUST A GAME.
NOT IF SOMEONE
SUBMITS TO THE OROCHI.
IT'LL... IT'LL
TURN INTO A DEATH MATCH.
FIND
SAISYU KUSANAGI.
WHEN YOU DO, YOU'LL
FIND THE REAL SWORD.
(ChiZuru) WITHOUT THE TRUE
KUSANAGI SWORD, RUGAL CANNO
FREE THE OROCHI, AND IF
HE DID, HE WOULD BE UNSTOPPABLE.
(Mai) I'LL TELL IORI.
(ChiZuru) NO, YOU CAN'T.
IT'S TOO DANGEROUS.
IORI SHOULD STAY OUT OF THIS.
YOU MUST GO ALONE.
ME? CHIZURU, I DON'T...
I KNOW WHO YOU ARE. IORI
CAN'T BE INVOLVED.
YOU HAVE TO TRUST ME.
PLEASE.
EXCUSE ME. HI.
I UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE A
PATIENT HERE,
NAMED SAISYU KUSANAGI.
I'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO HIM.
(Berta) YOU WANT TO
TALK TO SAISYU KUSANAGI?
THAT'S RIGHT.
OKAY.
(Berta) MR. KUSANAGI...
HASN'T RESPONDED TO ANYONE
FOR ALMOST 10 YEARS.
HE EATS, HE WALKS, HE SLEEPS,
BUT THE LAST THING
HE'LL DO IS TALK.
HE LIVES IN HIS
OWN LONELY WORLD.
HAVE A NICE TALK.
(Mai) THANK YOU.
MR. KUSANAGI?
(Mai) MR.
KUSANAGI? (sighs)
GOD... WHAT NOW?
(Kyo) MAY I HELP YOU?
I'M MAI...
SHIRANUI.
I CAME HERE LOOKING
FOR MR. KUSANAGI, BUT I
WASN'T AWARE OF
HIS CONDITION.
I'M HIS
SON, KYO KUSANAGI.
HIS SON?
I DIDN'T... I
DIDN'T REALIZE. UH...
CHIZURU SEN ME, AND, UH...
SHE WAS INJURED IN A
FIGHT, AND I CAME INSTEAD,
AND TWO OF THE RELICS
HAVE BEEN STOLEN, AND...
WAIT, WAIT,
WAIT, HOLD ON.
WHO SENT YOU?
CHIZURU.
KAGURA?
YOU MUST KNOW HER.
NO, l... I DON'T.
I'M SORRY THA SHE WAS INJURED
AND YOU... YOUR
RELICS WERE STOLEN,
BUT I DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
BUT, YOU'RE SAISYU'S SON.
YES.
IF YOU DON'T MIND, IT'S
TIME FOR MY FATHER TO RES
(Mai) OF COURSE.
COME ON, DAD,
IT'S TIME TO LAY DOWN.
(Kyo) THE HIGHEST FORM
OF GOODNESS IS LIKE WATER.
WATER KNOWS HOW TO
BENEFIT ALL THINGS
WITHOUT STRIVING WITH THEM.
IT STAYS IN PLACES
LOATHED BY ALL MEN.
THEREFORE, I COMES NEAR THE TAO.
IN CHOOSING YOUR DWELLING,
KNOW HOW TO KEEP TO THE GROUND.
IN CULTIVATING YOUR MIND,
KNOW HOW TO DIVE
IN THE HIDDEN DEPTHS
(Saisyu) GOOD.
(Kyo) (V/O) WE MAKE A VESSEL
FROM A LUMP OF CLAY
IT IS THE EMPTY SPACE
WITHIN THE VESSEL
THAT MAKES IT USEFUL.
WE MAKE DOORS
AND WINDOWS FOR A ROOM,
BUT IT IS THESE EMPTY SPACES
THAT MAKE THE ROOM LIVABLE.
THUS WHILE IT IS
THE TANGIBLE HAS ADVANTAGES,
IT IS THE INTANGIBLE THA MAKES IT USEFUL.
(Birdsong)
MAI.
IORI!
YOU SCARED ME.
(WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
I'VE BEEN WORRIED ABOUT YOU.
I DIDN' MEAN TO WORRY YOU.
(Iori) WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL
ME WHERE YOU WERE GOING?
I MEAN, YOU JUST DISAPPEARED.
WELL, YOU DIDN' TALK TO CHIZURU?
(Iori) I DIDN' TALK TO CHIZURU.
I'M SORRY, I THOUGH THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.
SHE SENT ME. SHE
SAID... SOMETHING ABOUT...
A RELIC WEN MISSING, AND... AND...
AND I HAD TO COME HERE AND
FIND... FIND THIS KUSANAGI GUY,
AND THAT I'D BE
HELPING YOU, AND...
OH, I'M SO GLAD
TO SEE YOU.
LISTEN TO ME, YOU
HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE
INVOLVED WITH RIGHT NOW.
OKAY, THERE'S NO
POINT BEING HERE.
LET'S GO.
HE HAS A SON.
KYO, YOU HAVE VISITORS.
(Kyo) WHAT NOW?
(Mai) I WAS HOPING
I COULD TALK TO YOU.
(Kyo) I DON' KNOW ANYTHING.
LOOK, I KNOW,
BUT IT'S IMPORTANT.
WHO'S YOUR FRIEND?
IORI YAGAMI.

TOLD YOU BEFORE...
...IF YOU WAN TO TALK, JUST LEAVE YOUR
NUMBER, AND I'LL
CALL YOU LATER.

RIGHT. CALM DOWN. DAD!
(Kyo) DAD...
(Saisyu) KYO...
(Saisyu)... MY SON...
(Kyo) DAD?
(Electronic tone)
(Berta) CODE BLUE! CODE BLUE!
GET ME A CRASH CART, STAT!
(Scott) I'VE SHUT DOWN THE
TOURNAMENT AS YOU INSTRUCTED.
AND YOU'VE SEN OUT A WARNING TO THE FIGHTERS?
YES.
EXCELLENT.
(Scott) EXCEPT...
THERE'S BEEN AN OVERRIDE.
FROM WHOM?
(Scott) RUGAL.
DAMMIT.
HE'S TRYING TO TAKE
CONTROL OF THE TOURNAMENT,
BUT HOW?
ACTUALLY, IT'S
QUITE FASCINATING.
SOMEHOW, RUGAL WAS ABLE TO
ASSUME CONTROL OF THE FIGHTING
LINE-UP FROM INSIDE
THE OTHER DIMENSION.
HE'S CHALLENGING EVERYONE.
(ChiZuru) THEY DON' KNOW THEY'RE PLAYING
WITH THEIR OWN LIVES.
(Mature) SO
WE'RE ALONE NOW.
(Vice) I'M UP.
(Mature) BUT REMEMBER
THE MESSAGE WE GOT?
NO ONE'S SUPPOSED TO
ACCEPT CHALLENGES UNTIL
CHIZURU AUTHORIZES IT.
BOTH OF US?
I'VE NEVER HEARD
OF TWO FIGHTERS
ENTERING AT AT THE SAME TIME.
WELL, THIS COULD BE
OUR CHANCE, TWO AGAINST ONE
CAN YOU HAVE
TWO KING OF FIGHTERS?
THERE'S A FIRS TIME FOR EVERYTHING.
(Vice) WAIT,
WHAT'S HAPPENED?
(Mature) I DON'T KNOW. SOMETHING'S WRONG.

(Vice) STOP, DON'T! YOU'VE WON!
(Rugal) YOU TWO ARE NO FUN.
TWO GIRLS, ONE GUY?
IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE
EVERY MAN'S FANTASY.
WHY DON'T YOU
JUST TAKE THE BADGE?
DO YOU THINK
THIS IS A GAME?
I COULD KILL YOU!
DO YOU WAN ME TO KILL YOU?
NO... DON'T!
I'LL DO ANYTHING!
REALLY?
WHAT ARE YOU WILLING
TO DO FOR ME?
(Vice) JUST ANYTHING.
(Mature) NO...
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
LET'S JUST SAY
SHE'S BONDED,
AND YOU'RE UNDER CONTRACT.
NOW, YOU'VE GOT A JOB TO DO.
WELCOME TO RUGAL INC.
RAMON? IT'S VICE.
YEAH, I JUST GOT OU OF THE TOURNAMENT.
I KNOW, BUT IT'S FINE.
RUGAL HAS IMPROVED
THE GAMEPLAY.
HE'S GOING TO BE
CALLING YOU NEXT.
YOU SHOULD
TOTALLY DO IT...
HEY, SHERMIE, JUS LETTING YOU KNOW YOU CAN
TOTALLY TAKE THE CHALLENGES.
I MEAN, I LOST,
BUT IT WAS A LOT OF FUN.
BELIEVE ME, DUO
LON, IT'S SAFE.
(Vice) NO!
NO!
GET AWAY FROM ME!
(Terry) TERRY BOGARD... CIA
(Scott) THANKS
FOR LOOKING...
OVER MY BLOG,
BUT I GOT TO GET GOING.
NOT SO FAS THERE, SUPERGEEK.
I NEED SOME ANSWERS.
(Terry) GIVE ME THIS.
(ChiZuru) SCOTT, GIVE
MR. BOGARD THE LAPTOP.
(Terry) YEAH, SCOTT.
TYPE IN THE PASSWORD.
NO.
SCOTT... THERE'S A CELL
IN GITMO WITH YOUR NAME ON IT.
TYPE IN THE PASSWORD.
WELL, THE CIA
CAN'T DO THAT ANYMORE.
YEAH, I KNOW. IT SUCKS.
YOU WANT TO TELL
ME ABOUT THIS?
WAIT A SECOND,
HOW'D YOU DO THAT?
I'M CIA
YOU'RE THE ONE WHO HAD
ME UNDER UNDER SURVEILLANCE.
THAT'S CLASSIFIED.
AND WHO FAILED
TO STOP RUGAL?
ACTUALLY, WE STOPPED
HIM FROM STEALING
YOUR KUSANAGI SWORD,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
IT'S TOO BAD THE SWORD
WAS A FAKE. NICE TRY.
LOOK, THIS GUY'S A
MURDERER, HE'S ON THE LOOSE.
I JUST WANT TO
KNOW WHERE HE IS.
IT'S COMPLICATED.
LET ME GUESS,
HE'S HIDING IN YOUR
SECRET LITTLE TOURNAMENT.
SEE, THAT'S RIGHT.
I KNOW ALL ABOUT IT.
IS THAT SO? THEN
WHY DO YOU NEED ME?
'CAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT IS.
SO, WHERE IS IT?
THE TOURNAMENT TAKES
PLACE IN ANOTHER DIMENSION.
DON'T GIVE ME THA BULLSHIT ABOUT DIMENSIONS.
WELL... ACTUALLY, STRING
THEORY SUPPORTS THE
IDEA OF OVER 10
OR 11 DIFFERENT...
DIMENSIONS,
OCCUPYING THE SAME...
TIME CAPSULE AS THIS ONE.
YOU GOT BEAT UP A LO AS A KID, DIDN'T YOU?
NO.
MR. BOGARD... I COULD TELL YOU EVERYTHING
YOU WANT TO KNOW...
BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN
YOU'LL BELIEVE ME.
AT THIS POINT, YOU
KNOW WHAT? TRY ME.
RUGAL'S HIDING IN THE
TOURNAMENT DIMENSION.
HE'S BEEN CONSUMED BY THE
OROCHI, AND HE'S TRYING
TO LURE FIGHTERS IN
THERE TO KILL THEM.
OKAY... WHY IS THAT?
SO HE CAN BE
KING OF FIGHTERS.
OTHER DIMENSION, KING
OF TOOTH FAIRIES.
LOOK, I'M TRAINED TO
BELIEVE IN THE TANGIBLE,
NOT THE BULLSHIT STORY
YOU'RE TELLING ME.
PEOPLE ARE DYING...
AND YOU WANT ME TO BELIEVE
YOU AND YOUR CRAZY STORIES?
NO. BUT YOU'LL BELIEVE MAI.
WHO'S MAI?
THE UNDERCOVER OPERATIVE
YOU ASSIGNED TO INFILTRATE
OUR ORGANIZATION
A YEAR AGO.
OH, THAT MAI.
SHE'S IN SEATTLE.
IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE
ME, GO TALK TO HER.
SHE'LL CONFIRM EVERYTHING
I'M TELLING YOU.
YOU KNOW WE'RE
WASTING OUR TIME HERE.
CHIZURU SEN ME HERE FOR A REASON.
YEAH,
TO FIND SAISYU.
HE'S DEAD, IT'S
TIME TO MOVE ON NOW.
WHAT ABOUT KYO?
KYO IS A HALF-BREED.
HE'S NOT A TRUE KUSANAGI.
IORI, WHA IS THE OROCHI?
REALLY? WHAT IS IT?
YOU WOULDN' UNDERSTAND. IT'S PURE EVIL.
IORI, YOU HAVE TO
LEARN HOW TO TRUST ME.
TELL ME MORE.
IT CAN GIVE YOU
GREAT STRENGTH AND POWER
THAT'S ADDICTIVE
AND DESTRUCTIVE.
EVENTUALLY, IT CONSUMES
YOU, AND YOU CAN'T SHAKE IT.
IS THAT WHY YOU LEFT?
WHERE DID HE GO?
(Kyo) WHAT DID YOU
DO TO MY FATHER?
(Mai) KYO, HE
DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.
MY FATHER WAS COMPLETELY
UNRESPONSIVE FOR 10 YEARS,
AND YOU WALK IN, HE WAKES
UP AND TRIES TO KILL YOU.
WHY?
IT'S ABOUT OUR FAMILIES.
HE WAS A KUSANAGI...
AND YOU'RE A YAGAMI.
THEN YOU UNDERSTAND.
WE'RE DESTINED TO BE ENEMIES.
WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT?
HE CAN'T HELP US, MAI.
AND YOU WON'T. I
DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WORSE.
MAI...
LOOK, JUST LE ME TALK TO HIM.
HE HAS TO KNOW
SOMETHING. I HAVE TO TRY.
(Mai) YOU GOT ROOM FOR ONE MORE?
I DON'T THINK
I'M GOING YOUR WAY.
IF YOU'RE LOOKING
FOR ANSWERS,
I'LL TELL YOU YOU
EVERYTHING I KNOW, AND
THEN I'LL LEAVE IT UP TO
YOU TO MAKE THE NEXT MOVE. FAIR?
(Kyo) WHAT, DID YOU BREAK IT?
(Mick O'Merai) I
DIDN'T BREAK IT.
(Kyo) WELL THEN,
WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT?
(Mick) IT'S
BROKE, BUT I DIDN'T DO IT.
(Mick) WHOA.
WOW.
YOU GOT TO BE ABOU THE PRETTIEST THING
THAT KYO'S BROUGHT AROUND HERE.
ALL RIGHT, COME ON,
HELP ME FIGURE OUT WHA
YOU DID WRONG TO THIS THING.
(Mick) WHAT I DID WRONG?
(Kyo) IT WAS WORKING FINE
WHEN I LEFT.
OKAY, LET'S SEE HERE.
WELL, THIS IS WRONG...
(Kyo) ALL RIGHT,
START HER UP.
(Mick) SOUNDS GOOD.
(Kyo) NO, IT SOUNDS TERRIBLE.
JUST TAKE IT FOR A
TEST DRIVE ANYWAY.
I'M SORRY
ABOUT YOUR FATHER.
WHY ARE YOU HERE?
DON'T YOU WAN TO KNOW MORE ABOUT HIM?
WHAT COULD YOU TELL
ME ABOUT MY FATHER THAT I
DON'T ALREADY KNOW?
DO YOU KNOW WHA HAPPENED TO HIM?
YEAH, THE TOURNAMENTS,
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM.
HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW
ABOUT THE TOURNAMENTS?
YOU FIGHT, TOO, DON'T YOU?
I ASKED YOU A QUESTION. ARE
YOU GOING TO ANSWER ME...
(Mai) OH!
SHIT.
KYO, I'M SORRY!
(Kyo) OH, IT'S...
IT'S OKAY. I'M FINE.
(Kyo) I THINK
IT'S DISLOCATED.
(Mai) KYO, I'M SORRY.
LAY DOWN, LAY
DOWN, LAY DOWN.
BREATHE. RELAX.
(Kyo) DON'T TOUCH ME.
(Mai) RELAX.
(Kyo) DON'T... DON'T... NO,
PLEASE, DON'T TOUCH ME.
(Mai) RELAX, BREATHE. I KNOW
WHAT I'M DOING. LOOK AT ME.
(Mai) BETTER?
(Kyo) YEAH.
(Mai) TRY YOUR ARM.
(Kyo) WOW.
YEAH, THAT'S... THAT'S BETTER.
(Mai) GOOD.
YOU STILL HAVEN'T TOLD ME WHA IT IS YOU'RE YOU'RE DOING HERE.
I'M LOOKING FOR A SWORD.
WHAT SWORD?
WELL, IT'S YOURS,
BUT IT SEEMS YOU DON'
KNOW MUCH... ABOU YOUR FAMILY HISTORY.
THE KUSANAGI CLAN HISTORY?
IT'S JUST A BUNCH OF LEGENDS
AND FAIRY TALES TO
ENTERTAIN CHILDREN.
WHAT ABOUT WHAT IORI SAID?
THAT YOU AND HE WERE
DESTINED TO BE ENEMIES.
YOUR BOYFRIEND DIDN'T TELL YOU?
HE'S NOT...
ALL RIGHT.
THE WAY THE STORY GOES,
AS FAR AS I KNOW IT,
IS THAT IT WAS ONE
OF HIS ANCESTORS
FROM THE YAGAMI CLAN WHO FIRS TRIED TO RELEASE THE OROCHI.
HE WANTED TO BE THE KING OF
FIGHTERS AND HARNESS ITS POWER.
INSTEAD, IT CONSUMED HIM
WITH A MURDEROUS RAGE.
SO THE CLANS UNITED, AND
ONE OF MY ANCESTORS KILLED
HIM AND RETURNED THE
OROCHI BACK TO ITS WORLD.
SO THEY SAY.
WELL, IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN.
THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.
YOU REALLY
BELIEVE THAT STUFF?
LISTEN, KYO, SOMEONE IS TRYING
TO HARNESS THE OROCHI POWER,
AND IF RUGAL SUCCEEDS, WE MAY
NEVER BE ABLE TO STOP HIM.
WHAT IS IT?
DO YOU KNOW WHERE I
CAN FIND RUGAL?
(Mai) WHY?
BECAUSE HE'S THE ONE WHO
DESTROYED MY FATHER'S MIND
(Mai) ARE YOU SURE?
(Kyo) I'M SURE, AND I'M GOING TO
MAKE HIM PAY FOR WHAT HE DID.
(Iori) DID YOU GET WHA YOU NEEDED? LET'S GO...
(Mai) IORI... WE NEED
YOUR HELP, OKAY?
I DON'T KNOW ENOUGH.
YOU HAVE TO TALK TO HIM. PLEASE.
(Kyo) WHAT CAN YOU
TELL ME ABOUT RUGAL?
WHERE'S THE SWORD?
(Kyo) I DON'T KNOW.
LET'S GO.
(Mai) IORI...
(Terry) HEY, BUDDY.
WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE WE
HAVE A LITTLE PARTY HERE.
HOW COME I WASN'T INVITED?
WE WERE ON OUR WAY OUT.
WHOA, WHOA,
WHOA, WHERE YOU GOING?
YOU GOING TO INTRODUCE
ME TO YOUR FRIENDS?
I THINK THEY ALSO MIGH WANT TO KNOW THAT RUGAL IS
KILLING PEOPLE IN
THE TOURNAMENT.
A STRING OF BODIES...
ALL MEMBERS OF THIS TOURNAMENT.
NOW, I KNOW THIS GUY
RUGAL'S INVOLVED.
WAIT, RUGAL?
THAT'S THE GUY WHO
TRIED TO KILL MY FATHER.
WELL, WE
HAVE TO STOP HIM.
I NEED YOUR HELP.
FROM WHAT I'VE BEEN
TOLD, THE ONLY WAY IS TO
FIND THE SWORD.
(Terry) THE SWORD...
(Kyo) A SWORD? REALLY?
WOW, THAT'S JUST FANTASTIC.
IT'S THE KUSANAGI SWORD.
ALL RIGHT, IT'S A MYTH, OKAY?
YOU... YOU SUPPOSEDLY
COMBINE IT WITH...
YOU'RE A DISGRACE
TO THE KUSANAGI FAMILY.
EXCUSE ME?
EVERYTHING'S
A JOKE TO YOU.
WHO THE HELL
DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?
YOU DON'T KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT ME.
WHAT... WHAT IS THIS? HUH?
YOU PROMISED ME SOME ANSWERS,
AND I GOT TO DEAL WITH GUY?
LOOK, LET'S... LET'S
MAKE THIS SIMPLE.
JUST TELL ME WHERE
I CAN FIND RUGAL.
IT'S NOT SIMPLE. HE'S
IN ANOTHER DIMENSION.
OH! HERE WE GO WITH THE
DIMENSIONS BULLSHIT.
DIMENSION. THERE'S ONLY ONE DIMENSION.
DIMENSIONS, DIMENSION.
NOBODY TRAVELS TO
ANOTHER DIMENSION
AND FIGHTS IN
UNDERGROUND TOURNAMENTS.
IT DOESN'T HAPPEN.
THANK YOU.
I HAVE.
OH, OF COURSE YOU HAVE.
HAVE YOU LOST YOUR
FRIGGING MIND?
Y-YOU ACTUALLY
BELIEVE YOU'VE GONE TO
ANOTHER DIMENSION?
THAT'S IT. THAT'S IT.
TERRY...
NO, I'M TAKING
YOU OFF THE CASE.
(Iori) WAIT A MINUTE,
WHAT? WHAT DID YOU SAY?
HE'S TAKING
YOU OFF THIS CASE?
WOW, THIS JUST KEEPS
GETTING BETTER AND BETTER.
TELL ME SOMETHING, MAI, IS
THERE ANYONE IN THIS ROOM
THAT YOU HAVEN' LIED TO YET?
(Mai) IORI... IT'S TOO DANGEROUS, YOU KNOW THAT.
LET GO. LET GO.
THAT'S PRETTY
GOOD, HUH? AGENT SHIRANUI?
THAT WAS GOOD.
(Rugal) AH, IORI...
(Iori) RUGAL, I GOT TO SAY,
I LOVE WHAT YOU'VE
DONE WITH THE PLACE.
(Rugal) AW... CUTE. LOOK, GIRLS.
IORI'S COME TO PLAY.
DISAPPOINTED, RUGAL?
ACTUALLY, I CAN' THINK OF ANYONE ELSE
WHO'D APPRECIATE WHA I'M DOING MORE THAN YOU.
WELL, I CAME TO STOP YOU.
I DON'T THINK SO. YOU...
COME ON, LET'S BE
HONEST, YOU HAVE ISSUES.
I GOT ISSUES. WOW.
WELL, I GOT MY ISSUES UNDER
CONTROL, BUT, UH, YOU, UM...
ENOUGH.
WELL, YOU JUS GOING TO STAND THERE
AND KEEP TALKING, OR ARE YOU
GOING TO COME DOWN AND FIGHT?
WHO SAID ANYTHING
ABOUT ME FIGHTING?
AND IT BEGINS.
COME ON. WHERE'S THE OLD
IORI I KNOW AND LOVE?
AAAAGH!!
THERE HE IS.
BRAVO!
THAT'S THE SPIRIT.
ACCEPT IT.
YOU KNOW ITS POWER,
WHAT IT FEELS LIKE.
DO IT...
DO IT!
TOGETHER,
WE CAN BE INVINCIBLE.
NO ONE WILL STOP US!
(Mai) IORI? IORI?
(Mai) IORI?
IORI... YOUR EYES...
STAY AWAY FROM ME!
FIND THE SWORD.
MAN, THIS IS CRAZY.
YOU LOCATE RUGAL, YOU
KNOW WHERE TO FIND ME.
(Terry) MAI, REALLY,
DON'T BEAT YOURSELF UP.
(Mai) NO, I'M NOT.
YOU SHOULD, THOUGH.
REALLY?
YEAH.
HEY, I'M NOT THE
ONE PITTING TWO OF OUR
SUSPECTS TOGETHER IN A
VICIOUS LOVE TRIANGLE THA
THREATENS TO UNLEASH AN
EVIL FORCE INTO OUR WORLD,
POTENTIALLY UNRAVELING THE
FABRIC OF OUR UNIVERSE.
I MEAN, I DON' KNOW, IF I WAS YOU, AND
THAT WERE TRUE, I MIGH FEEL A LITTLE GUILTY.
I SHOULD HAVE
TOLD HIM SOONER.
HE'LL NEVER
FORGIVE ME NOW.
YES, HE WILL.
THANKS.
WHICH ONE
ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?
YOU'RE SUCH A JERK.
YOU WERE DOING
WHAT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO DO.
YOU WERE DOING YOUR JOB.
YEAH, SOME JOB,
MAKING PEOPLE HATE ME.
NAH, THAT'S
NOT WHY THEY HATE YOU.
PROBABLY HATES YOU
BECAUSE YOU WEN
AWOL, AND YOU DIDN' DISCLOSE YOUR INVOLVEMEN
IN A SECRET,
INTER-DIMENSIONAL,
UNDERGROUND
FIGHTING TOURNAMENT.
NO, WAIT A MINUTE,
THAT'S WHY I HATE YOU!
I HATE YOU.
SORRY, BUT NO JOKING,
YOU'RE GOING TO
HAVE TO TAKE THE LEAD
ON THIS, BECAUSE, QUITE
FRANKLY, I DON' HAVE A LEAD.
YEAH. LISTEN, I THINK WE
SHOULD START WITH KYO.
WE'LL GO TO SEE HIM TOMORROW.
WE NEED TO HAVE
HIM ON BOARD.
I'LL DEAL WITH IORI LATER.
WHY DOES THIS PLACE SMELL?
WE'RE ON A BUDGET.
IT'S AN OLD ABANDONED
FISH CANNERY.
(Mai) IT'S A FIELD
OFFICE IN A FISH CANNERY?
(Terry) HEY, NOTHING
BUT THE BEST FOR THE CIA
YOU HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A KUSANAGI.
NOW, WHY
DO YOU SAY THAT?
YOU HAVE KUSANAGI
BLOOD RUNNING THROUGH YOU.
IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY,
YOUR DESTINY TO BE... TO
FACE THE OROCHI, BUT YOU
DON'T WANT TO ACCEPT IT.
YOU'RE AFRAID.
NO, I JUST DON' BELIEVE IN YOUR STORIES.
TAKE IT FOR A SPIN.
YOU'RE NOT MAI.
I MUST HAVE
THE WRONG NUMBER.
THIS IS THE
TOURNAMENT, ISN'T IT?
YOU'RE NEW AT THIS.
THIS IS WHA WE DO HERE, RIGHT?
WE FIGHT?
THAT'S NOT FIGHTING.
TECHNICALLY, THAT'S
YOU TAKING A BEATING.
TELL YOU WHA I'M GOING TO DO,
I'M GOING TO LET YOU LIVE.
GO AND TELL YOUR
FRIENDS...
THAT I PROMISE
TO STOP ALL THE MURDER.
JUST GET BACK
HERE AND FIGHT.
LET'S HAVE SOME FUN.
(Mai) IORI!
YOU COULD HAVE KILLED HIM.
I JUS DON'T UNDERSTAND.
WHAT AM I
SUPPOSED TO DO?
THESE PEOPLE...
THEY THINK I'M
SOMETHING I'M NOT.
THAT'S IT, HUH?
IT'S BEST TO BE LIKE
WATER, WHICH BENEFITS THE
THAT'S WHAT I'LL DO.
HOW DID
YOU FIND ME HERE?
WELL, I KNEW YOU'D
BE LOOKING FOR ANSWERS.
ARE YOU OKAY?
I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHAT HE SAW IN THAT PLACE.
MY FATHER WAS A MAN OF PEACE.
ALL I SAW WAS EVIL.
IT WASN' ALWAySTHAT WAy.
WHAT DO YOU SEE IN THERE?
I DON'T KNOW, A
PLACE WHERE I CAN BE ME.
CAN'T YOU BE YOURSELF HERE?
CAN YOU?
YOU KNOW, ONE LOST SOUL
CAN RECOGNIZE ANOTHER
I THOUGHT YOU WERE
JUST AFTER THE SWORD.
I'M LOOKING
FOR A LOT OF THINGS.
WHAT DO
YOU WANT FROM ME?
I NEED YOUR HELP.
WHY?
BECAUSE MY LAS NAME IS KUSANAGI?
NO, BECAUSE YOU
ARE THE LAST KUSANAGI.
I'M NOT WHO
YOU WANT ME TO BE.
MY FATHER WAS THE
LAST OF THE CLAN, AND
AND RUGAL DESTROYED ALL THAT.
THE KUSANAGI
CLAN IS OVER.
I DON'T KNOW THAT YOUR FATHER
WOULD AGREE WITH THAT.
HE GAVE YOU THE NAME.
WHAT MAKES YOU THINK
THAT I CAN SUCCEED
WHERE SAISYU FAILED?
I REPAIR MOTORCYCLES,
I'M NOT A HERO.
KYO, I DON' KNOW WHAT YOU ARE.
YOU DON'T EVEN
KNOW WHAT YOU ARE.
THAT'S SOMETHING YOU'LL
HAVE TO DISCOVER,
BUT RIGHT NOW, WE
HAVE TO STOP RUGAL,
AND WE'RE GOING TO DO
IT WITH OR WITHOUT YOU.
YOU DID WHAT?
LOOK, I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S
GOING ON WITH THESE THINGS
AFTER I SAW WHAT IT DID TO
THE KUSANAGI KID,
I HAD TO DO SOMETHING.
(Mai) SO YOU USED
CHIZURU'S LIST TO STEAL
THEM FROM THE FIGHTERS?
COME ON, WE'RE CIA, IT'S
CALLED "CONFISCATE."
CONFISCATE?
I TRUSTED YOU WITH THAT.
SHE TRUSTED ME.
WHILE YOU'RE OU THERE GETTING ROMANTIC WITH
THESE GUYS, I'M HERE TRYING TO
INVESTIGATE THIS THING.
SO IF THERE IS SOME OTHER
DIMENSION, LIKE YOU SAY,
MAYBE I JUST STOPPED
THE ONLY WAY IN, RIGHT?
(ChiZuru) NO,
YOU HAVEN'T.
CHIZURU... THANK YOU FOR COMING.
WHAT IS
SHE DOING HERE?
SHE TRUSTS ME.
(ChiZuru) WE'VE
NO TIME TO LOSE.
RUGAL IS BECOMING MORE
AND MORE POWERFUL,
AND I'M AFRAID YOUR PLAN TO
STOP HIM WON'T WORK.
AH, THAT'S BECAUSE THERE'S NO
OTHER DIMENSION, RIGHT?
NO, IT'S
BECAUSE RUGAL IS CLOSE
TO MERGING OUR TWO WORLDS.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WELL... WELL, ACTUALLY,
IT'S KIND OF COOL...
AH, HERE WE GO AGAIN.
NO, YOU SEE...
THESE DIMENSIONS...
DIMENSIONS, SEE? I TOLD YOU
THERE WAS MORE THAN ONE.
(Scott) THESE DIMENSIONS
EXIST IN WHAT COULD MORE
ACCURATELY BE DESCRIBED
AS A MULTIVERSE...
OR PARALLEL UNIVERSE.
YOU SEE, RUGAL WAS
ABLE TO GET ACCESS TO
AN EXACT REPLICA OF
OUR PLANE OF EXISTENCE.
THIS MEANS HE CAN USE
A PORTAL TO FORCE
FIGHTERS INTO
THE TOURNAMENT.
(Rugal) HEY...
WE HAVE AN APPOINTMENT.
(Scott) SHE'S IN THERE.
THIS IS ALL HAPPENING
IN REAL-TIME. THIS IS AMAZING.
YOU HAD THE SWORD
THIS WHOLE TIME?
IORI, NOT NOW.
LOOK... YOU
BARGE INTO MY LIFE
AND DEMAND THE ONLY CONNECTION
I HAD TO MY FATHER.
DID YOU REALLY EXPEC ME JUST TO HAND IT OVER?
IT'S HERE NOW, AND
I'M READY TO GO IN.
KYO, I'M SORRY
FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR
FATHER, BUT YOU MUST BE
CAREFUL NOT TO LET YOUR
ANGER GET THE BEST OF YOU.
I KNOW.
JUST,
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.
I WILL.
I'M SORRY,
IORI, IT'S TOO DANGEROUS.
YOU NEED ME.
FIGHTING RUGAL
WILL BE HARD ENOUGH.
IF... IF YOU SUCCUMB
TO THE OROCHl...
WHICH IS NOT GOING
TO HAPPEN THIS TIME.
I'M STRONG ENOUGH.
THEN USE YOUR STRENGTH
TO DO THE RIGHT THING.
PLEASE.
I'M GOING IN THERE.
YOU DON'T EVEN
BELIEVE IN ORDERS.
WELL, IT'S
ABOUT TIME I START.
SHOW US HOW
THESE THINGS WORK, SCOTTY.
IORI, IF WE DON'T COME
BACK... DESTROY EVERYTHING.
(Mai) TERRY!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I'M YOUR PARTNER.
WHAT DO YOU THINK, I'M
JUST GOING TO LEAVE YOU?
(Rugal) WELCOME
TO MY HUMBLE... ABODE.
CHIZURU?
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
FOR A WHILE THERE, I
THOUGHT YOU WOULDN'T MAKE IT.
ALL THIS BECAUSE
YOU WANT TO BE KING OF FIGHTERS?
I AM KING OF FIGHTERS.
THEN WHY DON' YOU STOP ALL OF THIS AND
COME BACK TO
THE REAL WORLD?
THIS WORLD IS ALL I NEED.
HERE, I'M IMMORTAL.
THIS ISN'T LIFE.
THIS IS WHERE WE COME TO
CHALLENGE OURSELVES
AND LEARN, SO WE CAN BE BETTER
IN THE REAL WORLD.
WHEN MY WORLD EXPANDS
AND MERGES WITH
YOURS, THIS WILL
BE THE REAL WORLD.
I'LL BE
KING OF EVERYTHING.
I'M INVINCIBLE.
YOU'RE NOT INVINCIBLE...
NOT AS LONG AS WE
HAVE THE SWORD.
THE KUSANAGI SWORD?
SAISYU WAS MY FATHER.
KUSANAGI...
WELL, WELL.
THIS IS JUST BEAUTIFUL.
IT'S OVER, RUGAL.
OH, NO.
NO.
THE FUN HAS JUST BEGUN.
(ChiZuru) KYO! YOU CAN DO THIS.
(Scott) THEY GOT SEPARATED.
KYO'S FIGHTING RUGAL ALONE.
(Mai) OH, GOD...
WHERE ARE YOU?
(ChiZuru) HURRY, FIND THE
OTHER TREASURE PIECES.
DO YOU KNOW WHA THIS PLACE IS?
THIS WAS YOUR
FATHER'S FAVORITE LEVEL.
(Rugal) IT WAS YOUR
FATHER'S FAVORITE SETTING.
HE TRIED TO KILL
YOU, DIDN'T HE?
(Kyo) NO, I WAS THE OROCHI.
IT CONTROLLED HIM. IT MADE HIM DO THAT.
MY FATHER
WOULD NEVER HURT ME.
MY FATHER LOVED ME!
(Rugal) COME ON,
THIS IS BORING.
LET'S
MIX IT UP A BIT.
I DON'T KNOW... TOO VIOLENT.
OOH, THAT'S A
BIT BARBARIC, ISN'T IT?
HEY, THIS
IS MORE LIKE IT.
BATTER UP.
TERRY?
TERRY...
OH, MAN. MAYBE YOU DID
TRAVEL TO ANOTHER DIMENSION.
THRILLED
YOU'RE ON BOARD.
THIS MUST BE WHAT CHIZURU
WAS TALKING ABOUT.
THE WORLDS
ARE MERGING.
FIND A DOOR!
(Announcer) NOW BATTLING,
NUMBER 36, RUGAL!
(Rugal) NICE SWORD
YOU'VE GOT THERE.
I'VE GOT TO
GET MYSELF ONE OF THOSE!
(Rugal) ENOUGH GAMES.
(Rugal) AW, IORI,
YOU'VE COME BACK!
NOW THE REAL GAMES BEGIN.
(Terry) MAI! WRONG
DOOR, I THINK!
(Mai) YOU THINK?
(Announcer) ROUND ONE!
RUGAL VERSUS IORI!
(Announcer) READY, GO!
(Terry) MAI!
(Mai) LITTLE BUSY HERE.
(Terry) OKAY, NOW!
(Terry) MAI, LOOK OUT!
(Mai) WHEW.
TERRY?
(Terry) ALL
THESE DAMN DOORS.
WHY ARE WE CHASING THEM?
(Mai) THEY'LL LEAD
US BACK TO HIM.
JUST KEEP UP!
(Terry) MAI, WAIT!
(Terry) MAI!
YOU'RE DEFENDING HIM?
DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHO HE
IS... OR WHAT HE HAS DONE?
THE HISTORY OF THE CLANS
DOESN'T MATTER ANYMORE.
NOT CLAN HISTORY, HIS
HISTORY WITH YOUR FATHER!
THE PRECIOUS CHIZURU
CALLED A SPECIAL
MEETING OF THE CLANS.
IORI, HE WAS JUS A NEWCOMER, BUT A YAGAMI,
AND PROTECTOR ALONGSIDE
YOUR FATHER, SAISYU.
KNOW THIS...
I FOUGHT THE
BEST, AND WAS READY TO
TAKE WHAT WAS RIGHTFULLY
MINE, BUT SAISYU WOULDN'
ALLOW IT, BECAUSE I HAD
DONE WHAT NO ONE ELSE
WOULD DARE DO, HARNESS
THE POWER OF THE OROCHI...
AND IF YOUR
FATHER WASN'T GOING TO
GIVE ME MY THRONE, THEN
I WAS GOING TO TAKE IT!
EVERYONE WAS
AFRAID OF THE OROCHI,
AFRAID OF ITS
POWER, EXCEPT RUGAL.
THE CLANS
WERE NO MATCH FOR ME.
AND IORI, WELL...
HE JUS COULDN'T STAND LOSING.
SO HE USED
THE OROCHI.
BUT HE COULDN' CONTROL IT. POOR GUY.
AND IN A FIT OF
RAGE, DESTROYED
THE MIGHTY SAISYU KUSANAGI.
WHAT DID YOU DO?
IORI, NO!
STOP HIDING, IORI.
NOW YOU ARE FREE.
WHY DID
YOU LIE TO ME?
HUH?
I CAN' CONTROL IT!
LET GO!
(Mai) KYO!
AAAGH!
THIS IS
NO FUN ANYMORE.
(Kyo) YOU ALL RIGHT?
(Mai) YEAH. IORI... YOU?
(Rugal) SO TOUCHING.
IT'S GOOD TO SEE THE TEAM
BACK TOGETHER AGAIN.
(ChiZuru) NO SO FAST, RUGAL.
(Rugal) CHIZURU.
YOU'VE BEEN BUSY.
AND I SEE
YOU'VE BROUGHT TOYS.
(ChiZuru) IT TOOK... SOME TIME,
BUT WE FOUND THE
REMAINING PIECES.
YOU THINK YOU KNOW EVERYTHING
ABOUT THE TREASURES
YOU DON'T. THIS IS YOUR
LAST CHANCE, RUGAL.
(Rugal) BEFORE WHAT?
(ChiZuru) KYO,
RAISE YOUR SWORD.
(ChiZuru) IORI!
(Rugal) I'M TOO
POWERFUL NOW.
YOUR PRECIOUS TREASURES
WON'T WORK ON ME!
(Mai) RUGAL!
(Rugal) IS THERE
NO ONE HERE...
(Rugal)... TO
CHALLENGE ME!
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
ALL
THESE DAMN DOORS.
SHIT.
(Terry) OH, I GOT THIS.
MAI? M... MAI!
(Rugal) COME ON,
IORI, COME FIGHT ME.
(Iori) STOP, RUGAL. I KNOW WHA YOU'RE TRYING TO DO,
AND IT WON'T WORK THIS TIME.
(Kyo) I'M NO STRONG ENOUGH.
(Iori) YOU HAVE TO BE.
WE DON'T HAVE A CHOICE.
(Kyo) WHAT IF I'M NOT?
THEN WE ALL DIE.
OH, GREAT PEP TALK.
(ChiZuru) NO. MAI.
OKAY. YOU'RE
GOING TO BE FINE.
NO WAY OUT. DAMN IT.
(ChiZuru) WE'RE TOO LATE.
NO, I CAN DO THIS,
OKAY? JUST SHOW ME HOW.
I CAN'T DO I WITHOUT YOU
LISTEN TO ME.
THERE'S NO WAY
BACK FOR ME.
YOU KNOW THAT.
I NEED YOU TO
TAKE MY PLACE.
WHO IS I YOU THINK I AM?
I'M NOT YOU, OKAY? I
CAN'T. I NEVER WILL BE.
I DON'T NEED
YOU TO BE ME.
I NEED YOU TO BE YOU.
(Rugal) YOU NEED ME!
AAAAGH!
(Rugal) IT'S ON, BABE.
I'M GOING TO HAVE SO MUCH
FUN PLAYING WITH YOU.
(Kyo) PLAY WITH THIS.
(Rugal) I'M NOT DONE
WITH YOU YET, KUSANAGI!
(Rugal) HE TRIED TO
KILL YOU, DIDN'T HE?
(Rugal) I'M TOO
POWERFUL NOW.
(Rugal) NOT CLAN HISTORY,
HIS HISTORY WITH YOUR FATHER!
(Rugal) GET UP.
(Terry) SO, WHA ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
(Kyo) WELL, I GUESS WE SHOULD
KEEP UP WITH THE TRADITION.
CONTINUE WITH
THE TOURNAMENT.
REALLY?
WOW, CHIZURU
WOULD BE VERY HAPPY.
WELL, TECHNICALLY,
WE COULD START IT TODAY.
I MEAN, ALL I'D HAVE
TO DO. IS JUST, UH,
RECONFIGURE THE
DATA... AND IF YOU
GUYS STILL HAVE THE
EARPIECES, WE CAN...
HEY, GUYS,
WHERE YOU GOING? W... WAIT!
(Saisyu) MY SON...
IT IS TIME TO FACE
YOUR DESTINY.
THIS JOURNEY HAS
BROUGHT YOU TRUE FRIENDS.
TRUST THEM.
WATER KNOWS HOW TO BENEFIT ALL THINGS,
WITHOUT STRIVING WITH THEM.
IT STAYS IN PLACES LOATHED BY ALL MEN.
THEREFORE, IT COMES NEAR THE TAO...
