Don't hold back.
I am the original Viral Hit.
You know what? You're coming with us.
You bitch!
Ah!
The hell are you doing?
BE STRONGER
I had the same key chain.
I guess it's rather childish.
No, I don't think so.
It… was very important to me.
She's moving in with us starting next week.
Everything has been arranged.
Last year,
my mother passed away.
And my father remarried.
I'd treasured it for a long time,
but I must have lost it somewhere.
So, I'd been looking for it all over the place.
Then I stumbled upon one just like it.
FIGHTING MINDSET UNLISTED
Hello guys! My name is TOU-KEI.
Why don't you come 2and get stronger with me?
Tell me,
why did you send me those videos?
I saw you being bullied and I was angry.
I'm sorry.
Sorry…
I wanted to help you somehow.
So I sent you progressive videos from the same URL.
Don't you ever mess with me again, you hear?
@HOW_TO_FIGHT
Oh, now I understand.
-I'm sorry. -No. Don't be.
You did all that for a stranger. That's very considerate.
At any rate,
that's all the videos that exist.
-Huh? -Yeah.
I think you should reconsider
the medical fees exemption.
I must be going now.
Wait, please.
Will I… see you again?
Mm.
Sayonara.
-Are you okay, Mom? -Mm-hmm.
Here we are.
There you go.
Phew!
-Okay. -Thank you.
Miss Asamiya.
Oh. Hello there.
Are you okay? Are you looking for the director?
Uh, no.
Uh… do you know who that person is?
Oh, that's Mrs. Shimura.
-He is such a good son. -At least two miles!
His mother is in and out of hospital,
and he always takes good care of her like that.
I'm Kaho Asamiya.
Nice to be working here!
If you have any questions, just ask any of us.
Agh! Hot!
There it is! I found it!
Thank you!
No way.
Asamiya!
I'm home.
Where were you?
Nowhere special.
You went to see that guy, Kuwata.
I'm sorry.
I was worried about you.
I went into your room.
Keep out of my business.
What kind of parent would I be if I didn't?
When I can see that you're in pain.
This is our issue, nothing to do with you.
-You shouldn't interfere. -No.
I'm responsible too.
I'm saying I'll help you.
Where were you out till so late?
Were you seeing that man again?
You promised you wouldn't see him anymore.
I just wanted to say goodbye.
From now on,
you're not allowed to go out except for school and cram school.
I'll monitor all your outings with GPS.
Got that?
BE STRONGER! @VIRAL_HIT
You won't get any more videos from TOU-KEI.
MMA MATCH
So… have you made up your mind?
Mm. Yes, I have.
-I see. -I'm going to the police.
Rumi…
Oh my God.
Tell me you're kidding me.
Or I'll talk to Mr. Kuwata himself.
Oh, yeah? You think Mr. Kuwata doesn't know?
He's the one who's giving the orders.
He likes to take advantage…
…of weak… and stupid people like you.
Hmm?
Well, then,
what if I go to the police?
You know what'll happen if you make an enemy out of him.
What?
He'll make you disappear.
If he is…
you'd better protect him.
He'll do what?
No, I just can't believe that.
Then…
why don't you see for yourself?
Huh?
There was someone else who tried to do the same thing as you.
Are you still alive?
.
No, I'm against it.
You should pull out.
The only reason you've won so far is because the fight's had no rules.
Facing off with a trained fighter in a ring is a different story.
Yeah, but I really need this money.
How many people do you think will donate to you guys now?
Also, man, stop making her suffer.
-Huh? -Asamiya.
She doesn't want to have to keep seeing you get hurt like this.
I'm afraid I can't help you with this one.
What am I supposed to do?
If there's no more videos…
Hey, boy.
Do you wanna see TOU-KEI?
Huh?
Hey my friends! It's TOU-KEI here!
Huh? What?
Aki?
Come to my place right now and bring Logan, who's there with you.
What the hell is going on?
Logan is an old friend of mine.
He's been watching Viral Hit.
Okay, wait.
-TOU-KEI, you've known about him too. -It's no big deal.
I'm interested.
How did you get access to the vids?
Oh.
The person who found this sent them to me.
This is mine.
You piss me off.
You gloomy-ass bitch.
You've had this the entire time?
So, then,
Mr. Logan, you're TOU-KEI, aren't you?
No.
Huh?
Then… who is TOU-KEI?
It's me.
You're kidding!
Good to see you again, Master.
Master?
Please don't call me that. I don't deserve that title.
My father was a UFC fighter in the American Association.
After I retired, I became Logan's coach. And then he got injured during practice.
He felt it was his fault.
So, he left the fighting world and we moved back here.
But your body, it's, uh…
It's shrunk a bit now, right?
Yoga will do that.
Yoga?
The secret to Rickson and Gracie's strength,
I'll tell you now, it's yoga.
You should try it.
Ah, I'll pass. Thank you.
Those videos… they were made for Aki here.
Made for Aki?
Mm.
You see Aki had a difficult time adjusting to life abroad.
And her only friend… was a pet chicken.
But, that chicken… he died.
BE STRONGER!
Hello, guys! My name is TOU-KEI.
Why don't you come and get stronger with me?
At first, I made them to cheer Aki up, but then I guess I started to get into it.
I was glad. It was good.
Huh?
I heard everything from Aki.
I swore to never get involved in martial arts again.
But Aki chose you, son.
Now I need to see if you're worthy of my daughter--
-No, I think there's-- -There's not a lot of time.
We start right away.
-Let's get to it. -Yeah.
-Keep up! -Yes, Sir.
One, two! Come on!
One, two!
-One, two! Ha! -Ha!
One, two, hook.
-Come on, come on! -Ready now. Jab! Jab!
Come on! Raise your elbow!
Come on, higher. Higher, yeah.
More!
Plant your feet, raise it. Plant! Raise!
Breath, breath, breath.
Breathe down into your belly now. That's it. That's it.
Good, good. Now, higher!
And, roll!
HIS FAMILY IS DIRT POOR LOL
VIRAL HIT ONSLAUGHT OF DEATH THREATS!!!
Give me more!
Ah!
Yes! Very good! Come on, go again!
You're ready!
Ah! Ah!
You've done well to hold out this long.
Tomorrow will be the last day of training.
Can I…
Can I win with this?
Uh…
I'm sorry, but no.
You won't be able to win the game.
Huh?
USING A CAMERA IS TIRING
YOU'RE MAKING A LADY WORK
READ
Hey, what are you doing?
You're the one who started Viral Hit.
What are we going to do without you?
Shimura is worried about you too.
Sheesh!
You're making a girl work hard here.
AKI YASHIO
There you are!
So things have gotten wild, you know.
The Viral Hit you created has truly gone viral.
Aki…
I'm sorry.
I…
I preferred…
Viral Hit with you a part of it.
You are a… great producer, you know?
We need you on the team.
Come back to us.
We'll be waiting for you.
VIRAL HIT BELONGS TO THE THREE OF US
Tomorrow is the big day.
Mm.
-This is… -Oh.
Feels like it's already getting a bit warm.
Maybe I can use it next year.
Mm. Okay, I'll wear it. Thanks.
I'm sorry.
I'm afraid this is all I can do for you.
Where's this coming from?
I wish I could find the ones who are bad-mouthing you
and give them a piece of my mind.
To tell them that you're a really kindhearted kid.
You don't need to.
If only I wasn't stuck in here like this.
I wish that you could do
the things you really want to.
You know, at first…
I was doing it for you.
And then I think it changed.
And now…
there's more to it, really, you know.
It made me realize there's things I can do.
Even though I thought I couldn't do anything.
I feel like I'm alive right now.
I've never…
felt anything like this before.
And also,
I've made friends and it's great.
To tell you the absolute truth,
they're really quite annoying
and irritating.
You know?
And…
I'm having the time of my life.
You said to me…
that you're only young once.
Viral Hit. This is my youth.
I'll try my very best… in this final match.
So…
Don't you give up either.
I think you worry too much about me, you know.
I'm not gonna die so easily.
You should really be worrying about yourself.
I don't want to see you get hit.
Or see you hitting anybody else.
Don't you dare even think about dying before me.
DOXXED
HOT GIRLFRIEND'S DAD RUNS URABE GENERAL HOSPITAL
Oh, wow.
-Isn't that… What? -Wait, wait, wait.
-Huh? Wow. -Is that Viral Hit's girlfriend?
-The one that stages their shows? -Yeah!
Huh? She looks nothing like the photos.
-Hey, that girl. -It's definitely her, right?
It totally is.
HER NAME IS KAHO ASAMIYA
SHE'S A SENSELESS SPOILED BRAT
SHE DESERVED THE ASSAULT
These childish games won't work forever.
This must be his doing. Kuwata must be pulling the strings.
He saw Kuwata at the scene where his friend died.
How many people do you think will donate to you guys now?
I think you should reconsider.
I don't want to see you get hit.
Or see you hitting anybody else.
Don't you dare even think about dying before me.
Okay, here we go.
I heard the hospital is getting harassing calls as well.
You dragged our name through the mud.
All because you got involved… with that man.
Now I regret marrying your mother.
You're forbidden… to contact anyone.
GIRLFRIEND HOPED TO GET INTO MED SCHOOL!
Aki, tell me honestly.
NOT FIT TO BE A DOC
Do you think what I've been doing is wrong?
What are you saying?
It's just that
friends who are important to me have got hurt.
And I never set out to hurt anyone at all.
There's also
other people who you have saved.
And I think
that I'm one of them.
Without you…
I would still be all alone.
Shimura.
To me, you're my
one and only hero.
That's nice.
-It's time. -Okay.
Remember what I said.
Shimura, you're not alone.
TOU-KEI
All right, let's go.
Let's show them all what Viral Hit can do.
You can count on it.
I'll hit him real hard.
Oh, yeah. You send him flying!
BAD FELLOWS
Thank you for waiting. We will now commence with the main event.
In the blue corner, a local high school student
whose live stream fights have taken the world by storm.
From Viral Hit…
Kota Shimura!
This is totally an away game.
All right.
Do your best.
KUWATA 172,300 YEN VS SHIMURA 300 YEN
Next, in the red corner,
BAD FELLOWS creator and owner…
…and a revolutionary in the world of martial arts,
Yugo Kuwata!
-Go Kuwata! -You're the best, Kuwata!
Kuwata! Kuwata!
Let's go, Kuwata!
Yeah, Kuwata.
Center!
Three rounds. No headbutting.
Hitting the back of the head, spine strikes, groin strikes,
biting, or eye-gouging.
Touch gloves.
What do you say? Gonna make a lot of money today?
I'm sure they're all dying to see it.
KUWATA VS SHIMURA
They want to see you, the villain, get beaten and humiliated.
You're the one who's gonna get beaten.
Okay. Back to your corners.
Round one!
Fight.
Go, Kuwata.
What's the matter, huh? You haven't landed a single punch.
Beat him down, Kuwata!
You won't make any money if the game ends in the first round.
Yeah, you better get up.
SHIMURA 300YEN
It's not good.
START LIVE STREAM
Hello everyone.
IS IT REALLY HER? HE'S FIGHTING NOW!
I'm the one causing the stir on social media.
I'm Viral Hit's girlfriend.
VIRAL HIT'S GIRLFRIEND IS LIVE!
I've now seen…
many comments bashing Shimura, saying he's making money out of violence.
It's true.
We shouldn't ever justify acts of violence.
But…
I'm partially the one you should accuse…
of turning him to violence.
I have lived
my life in shackles
doing whatever my parents instructed.
At some point, I had stopped fighting back.
I thought it was somewhat easier this way.
To stay weak rather than resist.
Facing reality and fighting back
takes a lot of courage.
It's not easy to accomplish.
I started to see
myself in Shimura's image.
When Shimura fought,
I felt like I'd also become stronger.
Surely…
HE GAVE ME COURAGE
TRUE
…I wasn't the only one.
I'M TEARING UP
MY HEART IS POUNDING
Shimura is strong.
He made a choice to protect another.
The only way he could change his reality,
was by raising both his fists high.
If you're going to criticize Shimura for these acts…
I MISUNDERSTOOD HIM
…then what about the justice you demand hiding behind screens.
You make accusations and you gang up on him
when you think it's okay.
I think your justice…
is the worst type of violence.
I won't run or hide anymore.
That's why
I chose to talk to you all here like this.
To fight against invisible violence.
Thanks.
Shimura. Look at this.
Donations are starting to pour in.
What?
It's Asamiya! What's she doing?
YOUR GIRLFRIEND'S STORY MOVED ME
Let me go!
Let go of me!
Hey! Take your hands off!
-Kaneko! -Hey, Shimura!
-Sorry, I'm late. -What happened to your face?
Some punks hassled me on the way. Don't worry about it.
How's it going? My counterpunch did the trick, didn't it?
YOUR GIRLFRIEND IS ROOTING FOR YOU
Hey, Viral Hit's girlfriend, I need a favor.
Was this your doing?
I guess so. And there's… more than one punch to come.
Right now, she's causing a stir.
KOTA SHIMURA 145,900 YEN
Asshole!
Rumi.
What the hell are you doing here?
I thought that I should come and let you know.
You know what'll happen if you make an enemy of him.
What?
He'll make you disappear.
I heard he's killed a person before.
What the hell have you done?
Is it true?
He and a group of men, they beat a boy to death.
It wasn't a group of men.
It was Kuwata.
-Kuwata killed him alone. -Wow!
I just posted it. It's already got 10,000 likes.
-Bitch. You understand what you've done? -Hey.
Maybe you're gonna be the one
that'll disappear.
It's Viral Hit's time now.
Good work.
Shimura.
There's nothing to worry about now.
You're not the only one.
You're not alone there in the ring.
We're all here
fighting alongside you.
Go knock him out!
All right. We'll use our trick in this round.
Seconds out, please. Seconds out.
Round two!
Fight! Go Shimura!
Yeah!
The donations are skyrocketing!
How did you make this happen?
I told you. I'm a great producer, you see?
Yeah!
What's wrong?
Huh? What was it you did? What?
-Vegetable oil. -What?
What a dirty trick.
It's a fight. Isn't it?
I need your strength.
Oh, and… please, everyone support Shimura.
What are you doing?!
-Give it to me! -No, stop it!
Give… give it!
How much more will you humiliate me before you're satisfied?
Leave me alone!
Do you… even understand what you're doing?
Now, this is why you're such a failure!
I've had enough!
Fighting mindset, rule number one.
Don't lost your cool.
You little asshole.
-Get on. -Tatsuya.
Run. Run! Come on! Get up!
Shimura, go!
This is bad. That one punch, it made him angry.
Guard. Guard!
Shimura! Shimura!
And down! Back to your corner!
-How much have we made so far? -Only about two million.
-Three! Four! -Shimura! Get up!
-You can't be done! -Five!
-Get up, Shimura! -Six! Seven! Eight! Nine!
You okay? You're good? All right!
Stop!
Come here.
Saved by the bell.
What did we make?
Only around two million.
I see. That's not enough.
Shimura, this next round is the last.
Hang on till the end.
I know, I know.
Show them what Viral Hit's made of. You can do this!
Seconds out. Seconds out, please.
Your mom's watching.
Final round!
Fight!
That's good! Keep going like that!
Go Shimura!
What are you doing?! Think about your training!
-Yes, Shimura! -Go, now! Go!
-Thank you, Tatsuya. -Go quickly.
Shimura!
-Down! Neutral! -Down!
One! Two!
This is bad.
Three…
Hang in there.
-Get up! -Get up, Shimura!
Get up!
HEY, GET UP
PLEASE GET UP
IT'S NOT THE END YET
I NEED YOU TO GET UP!
YOU GAVE US COURAGE
NOW IT'S OUR TURN TO HELP YOU
WE'LL NEVER ABANDON YOU
WE'RE YOUR FRIENDS TOO
LET US DREAM ONE MORE TIME
Shimura! Get up!
Get up!
-Get up, Shimura! Stand up! -Yes!
Seven!
Eight!
Nine!
You okay?
Shimura!
Donations are pouring in like crazy.
Shimura! Not much longer! Hang in there till the end!
Can you do it?
Fight!
I'm sorry, but no.
You won't be able to win the game.
But I only mean the game.
So he can still beat Kuwata?
In a fight, yes.
Ya!
Stop! He's down!
Due to Shimura's foul, the winner of the match is Yugo Kuwata!
IT'S A MIRACLE
Well done!
You really are the best streamer ever!
You pass.
How much?
What did we earn?
VIRAL HIT e earn?
