"Pro wrestling's too dorky for you, right?" "Gimme that." "Hurry up." "Let's go." "Coming." "She disapproved?" "She said she'd break up with him if he continued such a "dorky" hobby." "So he quit."

"In the red corner, making his wrestling debut..." "The Count of Croak..." "Poison Arrow!" "From where will he make his grand entrance?" "Oh, from the grocery store..." "holding a cantaloupe!" "What's that for?" "He is indeed a mystery." "A man who passed the bar exam." "Smart enough to decipher cryptic legal code." "But ignorant of the fact that pro wrestling is a dead end." "Thin and lanky as a French fry... 179-cm tail but almost lighter than air... he alights onto the ring of death... as helpless as a newborn lamb." "Think he can pull this off?" "Sure."

"Poison keeps running!" "This is falling flat." "Look!" "Federation's here." "Yeah." "I asked them to come." "They look bored." "All right." "Looks like I'll have to save the day." "Break a leg!" "Poison Arrow cowers." "What could be the meaning of this?" "Devil Skull wants to shake hands." "He wants to be friends." "Well, Poison Arrow?" "It was a trick!" "A cheap shot by Devil Skull!" "It's what he does best." "Ooh, a head lock!" "The squeeze is on." "To the ropes." "Nice tackle by Poison." "The action is picking up." "It's wide open for Poison Arrow." "What's the matter?" "Poison suddenly stops dead in his tracks." "What could be the problem?" "Shall we continue?" "Hello?" "We haven't got all day." "Quickly!" "What happened?" "Asako, hurry!" "What, did he fall?" "No, it was a complete disaster!" "He just froze up." "And forgot the game plan." "Toshi improvised and tried to end it quickly with elbow blows." "But he wouldn't give up." "Igarashi then ran smack into Toshi's face." "Blood was everywhere!" "The crowd went wild." "What, for 20 minutes?" "Yes!" "Toshi was so worn out that he finally gave up." "Toshi!" "Are you all right?" "Holy cow!" "Way to go, Igarashi!" "The crowd is pumped!" "Bring on the main match!" "Hold it!" "Why didn't you stop the fight?" "Because..." "Because what?" "It was dangerous!" "But the crowd..." "Safety first, remember?" "Hey." "It's show time." "Numa, to the ring!" "Yes, Sir!" "Easy." "Devil Skull..." "I'm so sorry." "I wrote everything down but my sweat erased it." "All you had to do was give up." "I've always hated losing." "Sorry." "I knew it." "Just what do you think you're doing?" "Excuse her." "She's my sister." "You recognized me?" "Don't be stupid." "Only you move like that." "I see." "Unbelievable." "Pro wrestling?" "They don't know?" "Akane, don't." "Know what?" "My brother... can't learn new things." "After last year's school festival..." "I had an accident." "You suffered some damage to your frontal cortex and temporal lobe." "It could affect your memory." "I remember everything before the accident." "But not much afterwards." "You mean "nothing"." "Everything's gone by the next morning." "Is that true?" "The photos and memos." "Yes." "Is that why you use everyone's ring names?" "I knew them before the accident." "My father wants me to help out with the bath after I graduate." "He says it's my only option." "But I won't be "helping"." "People will be helping me." "Stop it." "That's why I want to do what I like until graduation." " Let's just go." " No!" "I'm sorry for making things difficult." "For ruining the match." "But doing this with you all is my only real joy." "Even though I won't remember it." "Don't tell the others." "I beg you!" "Please!" "Please." "You guys were great." "Especially "him"." ""Him"?" ""Poison" something." ""Poison Arrow"?" "Yeah, he put on a great show." "Too dangerous." "I agree!" "He's kind of our secret weapon." "Let's plan a match together." "Really?" "At last, we're in the Federation." "Aren't you glad I didn't stop the match?" "It all worked out in the end." "Another drink, Mr. Igarashi, Sir?" "Brown-noser." "No, thank you." "Then eat!" "You need your "fight-amins"." " Not again." " Give it up." "But look." "That's funny." "How does he manage to laugh at that every time?" "Beats me." "Because it's funny, right?" "Yes." "You're easily amused." "It's a good pun!"

"He's the only one not faking." "Right." "They keep asking him to improvise his fights." ""4 wins, 0 losses!"" "It's Federation orders." "I've protested." "But Hino only cares about winning fans." "Igarashi is real popular... fighting so hard with his skinny body." "And winning." "What's wrong with that?" "It's dangerous." "He'll be fine." "He trains, right?" "Why would my returning prevent Federation matches?" "Because... you can draw crowds without them." "That's not true." "Okudera says you're a natural." "Come back." "Look, I can't, all right?" "If I enter the ring, she'll break up with me." "This is his fifth match." "Maybe it's time he lost one." "I see your point." "That's no problem for us." "Igarashi thinks it's real." "Do we ask him to lose?" "No need to." "He can't beat us." "What, a "shoot" match?" "It'll be exciting." "It's too dangerous?" "We'll go easy on him." "But..." "It'll be a tag team match." "If things get dangerous, you can lose it for him." "But anything can happen." "We're doing this for him." "Losing sets up a comeback." "It'll boost his popularity even more." "OK, we accept!"

"Just go to the school festival committee office." "OK." "Get a grip, Egg Prince." "Look out!" "Easy, easy." "I'm done." "But I barfed on these flowers." "Forgive me, flowers!" "Are you OK?" "Help me get him up." " Come on." " The flowers..." "What kind of flowers are they?" "Whenever Egg Prince gets drunk, everyone draws on his face." "Asako Asaoka is the manager."

"He's different on days he has wrestling practice." "He's cheerful." "I see." "That's why I haven't told Dad." "He'd put an end to it." "After our mother died... the three of us worked as a good team." "But after my brother's accident..." "It all grew awkward." "It's been... painful." "I've never heard him speak outside of the ring." "Did you really speak?" "You are man of few words." "Hold it!" "Igarashi!" "A bit early to be drinking." "Akane's running shop." "Then it's in good hands for once." "Very funny." "Ryoichi still hitting the books?" "Scored highest on his last test." "Wow, so he's on his way to becoming a lawyer?" "Count on it." ""Red Typhoon"" "Hello?" "What have you got to say?"

"Poison buys more time with a small act of terrorism." "But for what?" "To receive more punishment." "Knee Drop and a Leg Drop!" "Ryoichi." "He's in tatters!" "Give up!" "You did great, Igarashi!" "Just give up!" "They plan to add insult to injury." "Give up!" "Poison Arrow is lifeless as he's lifted high into the air!" "It looks like a Brain Buster!" "Straight for the jugular!" "The clincher." "Now for the count." "The ref's still not giving the count!" "The Coelacanths want it!" "Finally!" "Igarashi." "I don't believe it!" "Poison shook free!" "He's got guts!" "What's more, he's back on his feet!" "Where's he find the energy?" "The motivation?" "Even Kanemura's surprised!" "Poison's not done yet!" "Could that be the closer?" "The count!" "Free again!" "Another escape!" "Igarashi..." "Watch this move, folks!" "Damaging!" "Poison looks unconscious!" "Finally!" "Red Typhoon reenters!" "Only to get pummeled badly!" "Off the ropes..." "We can win this, Igarashi!" "You can do this!" "You've trained more than anyone!" "Don't you remember?" "Well, I remember." "I remember how hard you've worked!" "Everyone does!" "We all remember!" "Believe in yourself!" "Igarashi!" "What is this?" "Igarashi!" "No." "Stop." "Shut up!" "Stop!" "I said shut up!" "Hold that!" "Don't let go!" "Ryoichi!" "Igarashi!" "The count!" "A count of 2.9!" "Poison came so close to winning it!" "Can he still go?" "Oh no!" "He's pinned!" "You rock, Igarashi!" "You're my hero!"
