"Kurawaki, he's the lowest..." "He agreed to stay away from skag like my father told us!" "That suits me!" "He'll learn what it means to have me as an enemy!" "Damn, it's cold!" "Junior!" "I'll get you some tissues." "Nobody's lasted this long against me." "I thought you were just the Big Boss's baby boy." "But you're tough alright." "The fight's not finished."

"They're beautiful, big bro." "I let him have too much fun." "That retarded animal could use some discipline." "There it goes!" "Damn you!" "The next time I see Shozo, I'll have him buried!" "Sister Nayoko, I know it's none of my business but..." "The harder you try to catch a man, the more he runs." "Particularly a man like him." "He's my weakness..." "It's on the house." "Who's there?"

"You're going to hell..." "I'll need company then." "What happened to you?" "." "Sorry, Junior..." "They took Nayoko..." "Kurawaki, that sneaky motherfucker!" "What's this...?" "What's going on?" "."

"You sneaky bastard!" "A true yakuza fights fair!" "." "My security should be impenetrable..." "Unbelievable..." "Kurawaki." "Come on down!" "A small-time bad guy like you can't afford to sit back and watch." "I'm going to let you have it!" "Big bro..." "You come up!" "That is, if you can." "You're my 276th victim!" "." "I'll rip you all apart!" "On each floor I have our toughest fighters on guard." "Nobody can fight them all, not even you." "Are you done with your speech?" "." "What a lot of trouble you went to!" "They're all trained to kill." "You're no match for them." "Takuzo!" "Yes, sir!" "." "What the...?" "I'm not going up to you!" "You're coming down to me!" "." "He wouldn't...!" "1, 2, 3!" "." "Shozo, you crazy bastard!" "Ouch..." "What's this?" "." "What's going on?" "." "Big bro, look!" "Hey, Kurawaki." "Shozo..." "I know you're up there." "It was looking like a lot of trouble so I took a short cut." "Hey, you're here too!" "Don't play dumb, you brain-dead moron!" "Shit, what's with the costume?" "." "You almost blew me up, moron!" "You're so loud..." "Here I come." "Let's settle the score." "Give me some kejime!" "." "You're mistaken." "I didn't do anything bad." "I heard that you framed my old man." "Not me!" "Let me refresh your memory." "Junior!" "Bastard!" "Come back, untie me!" "Sorry, Sister." "It doesn't hurt a bit!" "Maybe he's not human..." "Get me again!" "It'll be a yakuza's medal of honor!" "He's a genuine moron." "Checkmate!" "Willpower!" "No...!" "Adios, amigo!" "Shozo!" "Junior." "Junior, why...?" "." "How could you leave us like that!" "He was a moron to the end." "Say that again!" "Who are you calling a moron!" "Junior!" "You're alive." "Of course I'm alive!" "Junior!" "Your leg!" "Don't you ever die?" "." "Kurawaki, bastard!" "Takuzo, give me a pack." "Kurawaki, if you want this brawl to end, you've got to kill me." "It's away!" "Stop right there." "I know you!" "We said we were Japanese agents." "But there's more." "I'm the Prime Minister's special agent, Torahiko Akao." "Also known as Red Tiger." "Shozo Iwaki, you're in our custody as of now." "If you think a fella like you can arrest Shozo Iwaki..." "You bitch, what the..." "Shozo!" "Junior!" "You assholes!" "Shozo!" "Where am I...?" "." "Shozo, I'm turning you into the toughest yakuza ever." "I'm already the toughest yakuza ever..." ""New Kurawaki Building, to be constructed soon"" "Big bro's right." "It's a good plan." "Tatsuyuki..." "What is it that I have and Shozo doesn't?" "." "That's true." "I have you, my dependable ally." "But I have something far superior to him." "And that is..." "That's right." "A brain." ""Tetsu OKamura Escapes!"" "It's chow time!" "." "Stay!" "Go ahead!" "BrotherTetsu, this is it." "Thank you for everything!" "Yasu." "I heard that you're leaving me for the Iwaki Family." "Give them my regards, will you?" "." "You said you'd quit." "You said you'd quit, brother!" "Don't do this to yourself!" "Tell me something, Sumire." "Will I ever get ahead of Shozo?" "." "Will I?" "." "My body's killing me..." "Sumire." "It's too much..." "Sumire." "I think I'm coming to where you are..." "Take this." "And the pain will go away." "What's this?" "." "And it'll help you... surpass him." "Surpass him...!" ""Keep Out"" "What's taking them so long?" "What in the hell are they doing in there?" "He said, "Leave it to us."" "We did that but all this waiting is driving me crazy!" "Sister!" "Are you OK?" "." "How's Shozo?" "." "Don't worry." "He's in the hands of the best surgeons and scientists." "Who are you people anyway?" "." "Didn't Red Tiger tell you?" "." "The Prime Minister's special agents." "I don't understand politics!" "Nobody knows our agency exits." "We're only deployed when there's a threat to Japan." "We work for the Prime Minister and are sworn to secrecy." "We're licensed to kill, if needed." "It sounds like bullshit to me." "What's this place anyway?" "." "If your agency is such hot stuff this place would be impressive like an embassy." "You can't fool us." "Like I said, we are secret agents." "This is an abandoned spa resort." "A perfect hideout for our operation." "Cut the bullshit." "What do special agents want with wise guys like us?" "." "It's the Death Drop Mafia." "Kurawaki has been on a meteoric rise lately." "He's so powerful he can mobilize military forces." "We figured that he must have support from somewhere." "Is the Death Drop Mafia behind Kurawaki?" "." "I'm sure you've heard of them." "The world's largest syndicate that practically owns the US Forces." "The United Yakuza International!" "What's wrong?" "." "This is Black Dahlia." "Zodiac is on Red Tiger." "We're on Iwaki's son." "After we complete the mission, blow up this place, copy?" "." "In here." "He's not on yet." "He's out on a super strength anesthesia." "It would have killed any normal person." "Boss is wise to strike now." "Kurawaki can't handle him." "Once he's awake, there's no stopping him." "What are you doing, you...!" "The anesthesia isn't working!" "You're finished, Shozo!" "Sounds like he's awaken." "Hey, it's time you explain to us what's going on!" "Ouch!" "God damn it!" "Get him!" "Go on!" "Ouch!" "This hurts like hell!" "Shozo is no longer what he was." "The best of Japan is invested in him!" "He's the yakuza weapon!" "Yakuza...weapon?" "." "What the hell is this?" "." "Ouch!" "Ouch, ouch, ouch...!" "Shozo!" "After going through the bionic operation... it must hurt like hell." "We needed something to take on the Death Drop Mafia's latest weapons." "Ouch!" "We applied Japan's superior human-weapon technology." "It hurts..." "Damn!" "I'll mince them!" "The M61 Vulcan on the right arm will shred any human." "And installed on the left knee is..." "Fight like a man, a fist fight!" "...an anti-tank rocket launcher." "Ouch!" "I can't take this!" "It hurts more than the arm!" "." "Who asked you to do that to him?" "." "You did what you liked with him...!" "You can thank us!" "He would have been permanently crippled!" "The best of Japan went into his body!" "Shozo." "Bastard, what did you do to me?" "Fire if you like." "Just know this." "Japan's future depends on you!" "Shozo, blow him up in pieces!" "." "He used you like a lab rat!" "Junior!" "I know!" "Be cool, Shozo." "Well, thanks, Red Tiger." "This new body kicks ass!" "I love it!" "Are you nuts?" "Junior, your brain's damaged..." "Sure I was surprised when I first saw it." "I'm invincible with this body." "The toughest yakuza in history!" "." "Watch out!" "." "You sure he's the right man?" "." "I never make wrong choices." "Prepare for the next attack." "Shozo." "Are you going to do what they tell you to do?" "I'd better." "Look at me now." "Look at me, don't I look good?" "." "You don't need this to..." "Sure, I don't need this to be the toughest!" "But I work for the Japanese government now." "I'm a government certified yakuza!" "The toughest in history!" "Your father wanted you to be the head of the Iwaki Family, and..." "Shozo, decide." "It's now or never." "I'm talking about what our parents decided for us..." "You know?" "." "About us..." "Our engagement?" "It's something our parents decided." "We're young and naive." "None of our parents are alive." "You shouldn't be tied to the past." "Shozo!" "Ouch..." "Stop acting up!" "Behave!" "Nayoko?" "." "Are you OK, Nayoko?" "." "Of course I'm not OK, you scum!" "Sorry, I can't operate this properly yet." "You want to kill me?" "." "Come on, I'll take you on!" "Shut up, you ugly dog!" "You're getting me worried!" "Kurawaki's men could still be around." "Mind your own business!" "I'd prefer if rickettsia bacteria in the sewer worried about me!" "." "Die, idiot!" "Same to you, scum!" "That suits me fine, that no-good bitch!" "." "Junior, where's Sister?" "How should I know?" "." "Ouch!" "Moron!" "Death Drop Mafia is on the move." "Die, suckers!" "Damn!" "I'll give it a rest!" "Wake up!" "Ouch, I just can't get used to this." "Damn, it hurts." "Oh, they make me work hard." "Junior." "You don't know when to stop!" "." "They're not the big fish!" "Where has Kurawaki gone?" "." "What's this smell?" "It's gas!" "No gas scares true yakuza!" "Motherfuckers!" "Your asses are mine!" "Takuzo, I want something powerful!" "Something devastating!" "." "How about this?" "." "Yes!" "Death to the fuckers!" "Go to pieces, bastards!" "This is it!" "No summer ends without fireworks!" "." "You!" "Come on." "I didn't want to look like this either, right Big bro?" "." "Kurawaki?" "Nayoko." "I've always wanted you." "But you never...ever... gave a damn about me." "Not a bit..." "It's changed now." "I own you now." "Finally you're mine." "Sorry to disappoint you but if you thought you'd be more appealing as a heap of junk... you're wrong!" "Don't be rude!" "Never mind that, Tatsuyuki." "Nayoko, you're so desirable." "That knucklehead..." "You think you have a chance against Shozo?" "." "He's not the Shozo you know." "Give up before he gets you." "We have an ace in the hole." "Shozo, this time..." "I'll finish you off." "Is that all?" "." "I haven't had enough..." "Where's that bastard Kurawaki?" "." "In the parking lot." "I have a life reading there." "Let's get him." "Don't kill him." "I want him alive." "He has information." "Sorry, but I'll shred him." "Shozo, listen." "I'd be silly if I let you do as you please." "I can shut you down by pressing the red button." "Now go and do as I say!" "Nobody shuts me down now." "Shozo, don't!" "I'm coming to get you, Kurawaki!" "She's naked!" "I'll take her on." "You fellas wait here." "Hey, girl, I'll kick your ass!" "But first put on something." "You're so exposed..." "What would your folks say?" "." "Here, go buy something to wear." "Then we'll rock." "Have we met somewhere before?" "." "Come here." "What the hell?" "." "Junior, are you OK?" "." "Kurawaki's assassins aren't bad!" "." "Eat my bullets!" "They're gone!" "Junior, they're real bad-asses." "Stay focused!" "I know!" "Junior!" "Stay back!" "Eat this!" "Not bad at all." "Tetsu...?" "." "Junior!" "Leave us!" "This is between me and him." "Tetsu!" "Tetsu!" "It's you, isn't it?" "." "Shozo." "Tetsu." "It's me, Shozo." "What's wrong with you?" "." "Hey, Sumire..." "I'm going to surpass Shozo, this time for sure." "Shozo!" "Die!" "Son of a bitch!" "Get the killer ammo!" "What do you want?" "Junior, there's nothing these bullets won't penetrate!" "Yeah!" "Not again..." "They take everything away from me..." "Stay back!" "Tetsu!" "Tetsu." "Fellas like us... should be fist fighting." "Nobody's lasted this long against me." "Shozo." "Shozo, you're Thunder God and I'm Storm God." "Whenever we meet we fight to death." "But we both live on the same cloud." "Damn right!" "Tetsu, do you remember?" "." "We beat the shit out of each other whenever we met..." "Tetsu, you've done enough." "Son of a bitch..." ""Big Boss Iwaki rests here"" "Big bro, it's ready!" "How long has it been, Big Boss?" "." "I never dreamed to see you again like this." "Shozo!" "Big Boss!" "." "Kurawaki." "You traitor!" "You bastards." "The yakuza's way is the way of guns and knives." "And chivalry and loyalty are the order." "But you've gone the wrong way." "I need no Death Drop Mafia to help me conquer Japan!" "I have this!" "I have the weapon to end all weapons!" "The only thing that can fight the yakuza weapon and win!" "A nuclear warhead!" "You just sound desperate to me." "Look at this marvelous weapon!" "The warhead is embedded in the man who once ruled half of Japan!" "You know what this means?" "He's the new threat of nuclear fallout to the nation!" "Way to go, Big bro!" "He's the Atomic Yakuza!" "Kurawaki." "Sounds like a great bash." "When did you show up?" "." "Shozo!" "Around when you were talking about fallout." "I know now, Kurawaki." "You really want me to kill you." "Look at this!" "What's that tinker toy?" "This is the nuclear warhead's detonator." "It'll activate the warhead when I die." "I call this the the deadliest dick?" "." "Give me a break." "You're wasting your time, Kurawaki." "I'll do anything to get you." "Shoot me, and we'll all die." "I know you're brainless but even you can figure this out." "If you destroy my dick, your pop's warhead will detonate!" "You have only one choice." "Kneel down and accept your defeat." "I'm my father's son, after all." "I only know one way to live." "That's my boy." "You're a yakuza!" "Do what you have to, Shozo!" "Kurawaki, you figured me wrong." "You picked a fight with me and you figured I'd back out?" "." "What...?" "I am a yakuza." "It matters none if it's a gun or nuclear!" "All that matters is life or death!" "Shozo, kick their asses!" "Do you understand the situation?" "." "It's nuclear!" "Fallout!" "Death!" "Shut up, you virgin nerd!" "I've long decided to go wherever Shozo goes." "That includes hell!" "Well said, Nayoko." "That's the way a yakuza's wife should talk." "You...!" "You'll die slowly!" "Wait!" "This one's for my pop!" "And this one's for Tetsu!" "You've gone insane!" "Junior!" "No nuke scares a true yakuza!" "Shozo..." "I am the yakuza weapon!" "English subtitles by Dean Shimauchi"
