"I hear many girls are crying because of you." "That's all for today." "Next time you get hurt." "Maybe I'll learn it." "Yes!" "You need friends." "My brother wants to study Shao Lin." " Really, Tomoda?" " Yes." "As I watched you, I liked it." "Fool." "Ask me yourself." " Teach me." " Teach me, too." "You?" "Why not a girl?" "Please." "Balance yourself." "Wait." "Your defense is wrong." "Watch me." "Wait." "Sukiyaki is coming." "Sukiyaki for supper." " It's the neighbor's." " Never mind." "You're sentenced to become our sukiyaki dinner." "Mr. Soh?" "It's me." "And you?" " Matsunaga, judo fifth level." " Kanda, judo fourth level." "Is Shao Lin a sort of game?" "Even if we lost the war, why respect Chinese fighting?" " What do you want?" " A fight." " Lf I win, I'll take over this dojo." " What?" "Come on!" "Fight!" "We don't fight men from other schools." "But you asked for it." "Go to a hospital." "Hurry." "Well done!"

"Join the training sessions with the young men at my dojo." "It will rejuvenate you." "Yes." "Thank you." " Noriko!" " Stop it!" "Noriko!" "What happened?" "Noriko!" " What's wrong?" " Daddy, keep away from me!" " Who did it?" " Stay away!" "I'll have the police arrest them!" " Are you free so soon?" " Naturally." " They can't hold us." " Ridiculous." "Chief, why did you release them?" " We investigated." "The case isn't rape." " That's a lie." "We're democratic." "We're fair." "He's right." "Won't you help us?" "Newspapers were spread out at the spot." "Your daughter had sex with pleasure." "She stopped going to school." "She's locked herself in her room." "I've raised her by myself." "She's been my hope..." "But they destroyed it." "And they're walking free in town." "Poor Noriko!" "I won't forgive you." "Any complaints?" "Go to the police." "I'll punish you." "It's your privates that are to blame, right?" " Strip." " What now?" "Tired?" "You've changed." "Have I?" "Changed?" "Miho." " Shao Lin will keep boys away from you." " Never mind." "I have you, Brother." "You'll never be able to find one like me." "Tomoda, don't act big even if Soh's behind you." "Who?" "What do you want?" "Your arm." "Shut up!" "Our men got hurt too." "I could cut your throat." "Not my fault!" "Apologize!" "Cut off your finger!" "Boss!" "Hurry!" "Can't you even cut off a finger?" "Does it hurt?" "Tomoda lost his arm." "You'll be all right in three days." "Next time you die." "TAKAMATSU, SHIKOKU" " Why don't you play with them?" " Because I haven't got a glove." "A Korean boy without a bat and a ball can't join them." "Kenichi, supper." "Masako." "Masako." " Masako!" " Hi, Daddy." "What is it?" "A guest?" "Hello." "Kenichi, help me." "So you're alive!" "After the report of your death, Takamatsu was bombed." "I lost the house." "Then I met him." "A Korean?" "Yes." "He's honest, so we're poor." "My son thinks he's his father." "He likes him." "Then the boy?" "Didn't you read my letter?" "It was 1943." "I named him after you." "Kenichi." "My son." "I'm sorry." "Don't be." "It's fate." "He seems like a good man." "Take care of Kenichi." "What happened?" "Have you got any information about your wife?" "She's dead." "Dead?" "She's dead." "She's dead!" "Let's drink." "All night." "Brother, come home." "Sake isn't good for your health." "Mr. Soh and his students are worrying about you." " Come to the dojo with me tomorrow." " Shut up!" "Fool." "What can a one-armed man do?" "Fight?" "You weren't a coward." " You can do it." "You can!" " Shut up!" "Leave me alone!" "I'd rather have... died as a kamikaze pilot than this!" "Tomoda, if you want to die, I'll help you." "You're feeling sorry for yourself." "Try to take care of yourself." "Come on!" "Stand up!" "Tomoda." "See?" "You can do it." "You made a clean hit." "You can do it." "To overcome one's weakness." "That's the spirit of Shao Lin." "SHAO LIN AND GOODNESS ARE ONE" "CONTEST OF THE SHAO LIN SCHOOL" "Been a long time." "We were both reckless before." "But you're a great man now." "Great!" "We decided to exploit Shikoku." "We joined the Shinseikai." "We'll watch over Shikoku with our eyes wide open..." "Like this Dharma." "It'll be a big market." "Will you send some of your men to work for us?" "We're not cheap gangsters like you." " What?" " Come, come." "We're here to say hello." "Look at all these young people." "You need a lot of money to support them." "Go home!" "We'll go to Marugame too." "We'll need more men." "We have a lot of penicillin and foreign cigarettes." "If you help me, we'll let you have some." "Go back where you came from!" "Get lost!" "I see." "We'll be going." "My compliments." "Throw this money into the ditch." "They'd use it for evil purposes." "AKAMATSU CO." "Welcome back." "I'm late." "Thank you for helping us to get the land for my market." "Not at all." "Take this with my congratulations." "Thank you very much." "Here's my gift for you." "Thank you very much." "Mr. Iwasa, let's be friends." "I have good connections with the Occupation Forces." "The Shao Lin School is a headache to me." "As it will be to you." "I know." "Martial arts are banned by the Occupation Forces." "I'll advise the Americans to destroy that school." "Even if they bought the land, they can't kick us out." "What did the government say?" "The land was transferred to Akamatsu legally." "Akamatsu entertains the officials and the police chief every night." "You live on the land with us." "Ask him to help us." "A market is just an excuse." "They plan to build brothels." "Please, help us." "Please." "There're many in Japan who use the law for evil." "Stay on the land." "I'll help you." "A cable from Osaka." ""Kiku seriously ill." ""Please come." "Kimio."" "It's Soh!" "He's back!" " Everybody OK?" " Yes... this way!" "She's always reading this." "SHAO LIN CONTEST" "Kiku... hang in there." "I'll be always with you." "At last Shao Lin has its day." "Why didn't you write to me after you read it?" "Get well and come to Tadotsu with the children." "I hear the sea is beautiful there." "Mr. Soh, forgive me." "I..." "She worked as a prostitute to support us." "The children were kind to me." "But..." "I didn't want to burden them." "No, don't die on us!" "I don't regret it." "This is the life I chose." "Mr. Soh... please take care of my brother and the children." "Please hang on!" "Kimio..." "Be a strong man like Mr. Soh." "I couldn't save Kiku." "The only thing I have is strength." "She had no strength." "But she had love." "She loved the children so much that she even sold her body to protect them." "Yes, love!" "I believed only in strength." "What I lack is love." "Strength and love." "I need both." "Strength and love... they are one!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Stop it!" "No!" "No!" "This is a nice restaurant." "It was a bargain." "I needed a place to treat city officials." "So I bought it." "That's a pretty good idea." " Boss." " What is it?" "The Shao Lin men stopped us." "We had no chance." "Look at your filthy faces!" "When that happens, you should call the police." "Isn't that why we've bought off the chief?" "Go ahead, destroy the Shao Lin School!" "The police chief will do something." "They're really a bunch of criminals." "If we're criminals, what are you?" "Justice is with us." "This is for Otaki." "STRENGTH WITHOUT JUSTICE IS VIOLENCE." "JUSTICE WITHOUT STRENGTH IS POWERLESS." "THE END."
