Battle Arena Toshinden (1996)
Posted: 02/04/24 11:14
And the eyes of the world are on this ship...
...as the two nations end their long cold w*r...
...with the signing of this peace treaty!
And now, on this spot,
the peace treaty has been signed!
This is the first step towards world peace!
An enemy attack?! Where are they?
But, sir... There's nothing on radar!
What?!
Over here! Move it!
Mr. President, come with us!
I want some answers, now!
What's going on?!
What's that up there?!
Someone's standing on top of the bridge!
Stand your ground! sh**t!
Target locked.
Impossible! A man?!
HI-SHOH-ZAN!
Here, a little present for you all.
- Thanks a lot, Mr. Fo!
- Wow...
Now, I wonder what's going to appear next...?
That man! Can it be?!
I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting.
One thing I take pleasure in is
seeing little children smile.
Another thing I take pleasure in...
...is seeing THESE covered with blood!
To think, that you and I would meet here...
Don-pa-PAH!
Bad mistake, Sho! This is a dead end!
And in an alley this narrow...
...you can't use your att*cks
at anywhere near full power!
I see now...
What?
Is this really the extent of your power?
Silence, young fool!
Don-pa-PAAAAH!
Like this?!
What the devil?! He's using my technique?!
It's so desolate now.
It was one year ago... The Toshin Tournament...
I haven't forgotten you... Gaia!
HI-SHOH-ZAN!
Magnificent! My body trembles before you...
Eiji Shinjo!
There's more where that comes from, Gaia!
I've been waiting for a man like you!
Join me!
Let us fight side by side!
I hate it when guys try to lay it on too thick!
REK-KU-ZAN!
I like you more and more!
Did that get him?!
The same technique Sho uses.
How do you know about my brother?!
Gaia, tell me what you know!
If you're after your brother,
I'm afraid I can't help you.
Tell me where he is!
Where indeed? I'd like to know that myself.
Hold it, Gaia!
Where did THEY come from?!
Gaia, you dishonorable coward!
So sorry to disturb you, but...
Chaos...
You're using the Toshin Tournament
to gather the greatest fighters...
...so you can lead them
against our Organization!
Well deduced. However,
I cannot allow you to capture me yet.
And I cannot allow you to escape.
What's going on?! Who are you people?!
I finally get to fight you like this.
I'm so happy... GAIA!
So am I... Now prepare to die.
DARK END!
DIE, GAIA!!!
What the...?!
GAIA!!!
Eiji! Train yourself and become even stronger!
Only then will our true battle come!
The tournament ended
with neither of us the winner.
And I still haven't been able
to find my brother.
I've been waiting for you... Eiji!
Kayin...
You've gotten even better!
So have you, Kayin!
RYU-SEI-KYAKU!!!!
RISING SUN!!!
SHOULDER CRUSH!!!
- HI-SHOH-ZAN!!!
- DEADLY RAYS!!!!!
KAYIN!!!
EIJI!!!
I wouldn't ever want you to be my enemy.
The same goes for me.
Not bad, but I'm still better than you.
Good to see you.
And you.
I can take him!
Mustn't see my enemy with my eyes.
I have to feel him in my heart!
I'll hit him with the
CHO-RIKI-DAI-BUTSU-METSU first!
CHO-RIKI-DAI-BU-- What?!
GO-RIKI-RAI-JIN!!!
Impossible... How could he know my technique?!
Thanks. My dad must be happy to see you.
He told me to say hi to you.
Really?
First old man Fo,
and now Mondo's been att*cked.
It's pretty clear what's happening.
Somebody's after the top fighters
from the Toshin Tournament.
Yeah...
And I've heard rumors that the one doing it...
...is Sho!
Why so quiet?
Planning to enter the lion's den alone?
I'm sorry, but I have to know the truth.
Stop cutting me out! We both know that Sho--
We know your brother k*lled my father.
But Dad lost that fight honorably!
It doesn't change...
...our friendship at all!
I really enjoyed it.
When you and l were dueling before.
Kayin...
Rungo... Rungo Iron...
What am I...?
Where am l? Are my wife and son all right?
So, how is our test subject?
Lady Uranus! See for yourself.
Magnificent. That half-wit's been
reconstructed to this level?
He's only reached 30% of
his potential at this stage.
Still a ways to go.
Work hard, Chaos.
Become a worthy servant for me.
And you continue your work as well...
Sho.
Oh, no-no-no-no-no you don't!
Damn, I'm in trouble! This guy ain't human!
FIRE STRIKE!!!
Why...? How did he beat me...?
Couldn't see... How...?
Now I can have my revenge upon him.
I'll never forgive you...
GAIA!!!
They hurt somebody as tough as Rungo this bad?!
Yeah... If the Organization's really on the move...
Sofia. They'll be moving against her, too.
Eiji, I'll let you protect Sofia.
I'll use my own methods
to track the Organization's actions.
- Gotcha.
- Eiji! Take me with you!
Daddy did this to protect us!
I want to pay them back for this!
Leave this to me.
I'll make whoever did this pay for it.
You stay here and protect your mom.
Okay?
Over there...
Hey, mister! Over here!
Okay!
So, ready to give up?
Why don't you pick on
somebody your own size?
Sorry. Sorry. Guess I got carried away.
- Hey, guys!
- It's Sofia!
Wow... My lucky day.
It's you...
You're looking well.
Thanks. I've been lucky.
I've been staying here, teaching the kids.
Anyone else here?
No, just me.
Oh, really?
Something's wrong, isn't there?
I'm a lousy actor, aren't l?
I wish I didn't have to say this...
The Organization's on the move again.
Equipped with a human mind and body.
A k*lling machine whose regenerative powers...
...have been raised to their highest levels.
Gentlemen, I give you the Man Machine Project.
Magnificent!
We're still only in the testing stage.
The production model will be
several times more powerful.
You're saying this is only the test-type?
Miss Uranus, the power you possess is astounding.
Thank you very much, sir.
We eagerly await the completion of this project.
- Miss Uranus!
- What is it?
Eiji Shinjo has contacted Sofia.
I see.
Big brother!
Sho, answer me!
Why are you supporting the Organization?!
Why are you repeating
the same meaningless battles?!
Is that your answer, Sho?!
Then I'll make you see reason,
with my sword!
As dedicated as ever, I see.
I couldn't sleep.
- Can we talk for a bit?
- Hm? Oh, sure.
Do my bidding, Sofia...
So, that's what happened.
I've dreamt about getting the chance to...
...cross swords with my brother again.
And now my dream's coming true.
If only it wasn't.
If only it would just stay a dream...
I envy you.
The Organization used me in their experiments.
They wiped my memories.
I can't remember anyone from my past.
No matter how bitter they may be,
your memories are real ones.
Sofia...
I'm sorry.
Maybe I should have my mom
and little sister come out here.
Maybe it's time I made
some new memories for myself.
That'd be nice.
There's nothing better than
when you spend time with family.
- What's wrong?!
- Nothing... Nothing at all.
I'm just a little tired.
I guess I'm not used to having visitors.
Good night.
Sofia!
Sofia! What the hell...?!
THUNDER RING!!!!!
Stop it, Sofia!
AURORA REVOLUTION!!!
Tears? Somebody must be controlling her!
Die, Eiji!
Sofia... It's all right... It's all right, now.
Fascinating. Well done, Eiji Shinjo.
It's up to you now, Sho.
Forgive me!
I was a fool to think I could escape
the Organization's control!
Forgive me!
Sofia...
Eiji!
Big brother!
Did you do this to her?!
And what if I did?
Tell me why!
Irrelevant.
Is that your answer, Sho?!
If you won't attack, then I will.
Sofia, get out of here!
SUI-SEI-KYAKU!!!!!
EN-JUU!!!!!
RAA-HA!!!
EIJI!!!
It's all over, Eiji.
Now you will die by my hand.
It's what you wanted, isn't it?
Now I understand...
When our swords met,
I felt the battle spirit within you.
You're not my brother... You aren't Sho!
And how does knowing that help you?
It won't change the reality
that you cannot defeat me.
Farewell, Eiji Shinjo!
Eiji, now!
Damn you, Prototype!
How dare you interfere!
No! Sofia, run for it!
SOFIA!!!
You thought that you,
a mere prototype, could defeat me?
My next shot will finish you off!
Wait...!
You dishonor my brother's form and you hurt Sofia...
Unforgivable!
You're going down!
Ridiculous! What can a flesh and blood human...
...with no cyber enhancements do against me?
Die!
It's over...
HYAK-Kl... MOH-SHU-KEN!!!
I win! Game over, pal!
Now you're gonna tell me
everything you know!
Impossible... How could I have lost?
Didn't they say I was perfect?!
Lady Uranus, help me!
Uranus? Who's that?!
Who are you?!
This has given me excellent data.
Now the project can be completed.
Data? What are you talking about?!
It's a pleasure to meet you,
Eiji Shinjo. I am Uranus.
Uranus?
Everything has gone exactly as I had planned.
Creating a Man Machine Doll
in the form of your brother...
...heightened your feelings to no end.
Higher than in any data I've previously gathered.
That was the reason why I also used Sofia.
So easily manipulated
by the image of your brother...
You're an amateur, Eiji.
Why, you... What are you after?!
That's for me to know.
Come back here, Uranus!
Sofia...
Sofia!
Ei-- Eiji, I...
Don't try to talk. Sofia... Thank God...
Uranus... The Organization...
Man Machines...
What the hell is going on?!
Chaos...
Now you are invincible.
And the test to prove
your perfection shall be...
...the enjoyable task of
taking care of the traitor.
Whoever betrays the Organization
shall pay for it with his life.
Gaia!
Gai...a...
Here we are.
Please be all right, Ellis.
I did it!
All right, now to do it with eight knives!
Well done!
Now let's do it with me on the board, Ellis.
Huh? But Boss, that's dangerous!
Ellis!
I believe in your abilities.
You should believe in them, too!
Right! Okay, Boss! I'll do my best!
Okay, Ellis. Do it!
Here...we...GO!
Ellis!
Yo.
Kayin! Long time, no see!
Ellis...
I never give up!
One, two, three, GO!
When did I finally get some love?
It was in a distant dream.
In a world that I had never seen...
...was when I first met him.
Now I'm searching for everything.
I want to embrace it all by myself!
Open your lonely door!
Something is waiting for you out there!
The key to the future is...
...right inside your heart. All the time!
Get your only love!
Until you make your dreams all come true...
...even if you're all alone, don't let it beat you.
Don't let it beat you! Fly away!
Open your lonely door!
You can see tomorrow waiting for you!
So don't close your eyes now.
Don't close them now!
One, two, three, GO!
