I am afraid of fighting
I am afraid of being beaten and losing
But I am more afraid of surviving as a cripple
than dying while I am fighting!
I hear the wind howl
I hear the fear inside of me

A ole detective?

You want to go to jail or what?
Ow! You bastard!

END OF THE PACIFIC WAR - 1945
A Stop!
That's how I began to dream of being a pilot
But the end of the Pacific War
ended my dream Stop!
You'll be dead
The end of the war was driving people mad
Who are they?
They're Koreans who refused to fly in the Kamikaze
Let them go!
But
Yes, sir!
The Kamikaze is a sacred ceremony
We can't stain it with the blood of Koreans
You bastards!
You're just using us as human shields
When did you teach us how to fly?
Shit!
Who the hell are you?
What insolence you Korean!
How dare you defy His Majesty's rule?
Fine, shoot me
Pilot? Aviation school? I don't give a damn anymore
Go ahead, you bastards!
Stop it
Not bad for a greenhorn What's that silly skill?
It's called Taekkyeon a Korean martial art
Korean martial arts?
Let me make an offer
If you defeat me in a fight, I'll let you and your friends live
But if you lose, I'll only kill you Gruesomely
What do you think?
It seems you care about your life indeed
Baedal!
Are you scared?
Showing your back in a fight you certainly are Korean
You don't have enough honor to learn martial arts
Baedal, Baedal! Wake up!
And so that year passed...
Japan surrendered unconditionally because of the atomic bomb
And my country was liberated
However, only devastation was left after the war ended
Similarly, my courage was left in ruins after that defeat
Give me a chocolate

Oh, hello, sir! How are you?
I was just about to pay my tax to you
You've already been working here for days without permission
You want to pay your taxes now?
That machine, the 'pachinko' or whatever, is very interesting
Give it to me!
Oh please, not my machine!
No! My pachinko!
Oh, that guy, he's Korean Kill him!
- Chunbae! - Baedal!
Look at him
I'm going to kill you!
Is that urine?
The bed-wetter of lkebukuro
The bed-wetter of lkebukuro!
You should pay with your life
You eat what you spilt
Then crawl between my legs saying 'I'm the bed-wetter of lkebukuro'
If you don't...
Baedal! No, don't do that!
Shut up!
No! Don't! Please don't, Baedal!
You want to die?
I, Choi Baedal am the bed-wetter of lkebukuro
Louder, you Korean!
Look at that HAHA
I, Choi Baedal am the bed-wetter of lkebukuro
Baedal
What you did was very wrong
Well, well, look who's here
You still have the habit of getting into people's business
You want to lose your other hand, too?
Bastard!
Bumsoo
Baedal
Bumsoo, I'm sorry to show myself to you like this
greatest circus!
Do you have to see it
Man on the fly
beautiful women on the swing
A man walking on the rope
Here, have some soup
Oh, kimchi. Great! It's been quite long
By the way, those yakuzas do you know them?
You cannot avoid dealing with them when you're the guard for a circus
They're extra trouble for a troupe
like ours, with lots of Koreans
Aren't those ration tickets? They're as good as money
Why don't you use them instead of just collecting them?
We are planning to build a school for the Korean kids in this area
They shouldn't forget our language even though they've left Korea
I see
Baedal, how are your parents?
Bumsoo!
Teach me how to be a fighter
Bumsoo wouldn't give up his will
Baedal must be very cold
You, Door thing!
Baedal!
Bumsoo!
Baedal, if you make a fist you can't grasp anything
not friends, not earth nor sky
But if you unclench your fist you can hold the whole world
Baedal, practice martial arts hard to protect yourself
Bumsoo, why are you saying that?
You understand what I mean?
Get him!
Follow him!
Get him!
Shoot!
Get him!
Little master, use your abilities to protect yourself and others
Live fairly, and protect
the things you care about
What's he doing?
I remember he said he would never teach the martial arts as they can be as deadly as poison
Well, he must be different from someone
Damn
What? How rude you are to an old lady like me!
Bastard!
BOOK OF FIVE RINGS BY MIYAMOTO MUSASHI
Justice without power is empty but power without justice is only violence
A warrior always keeps his sword sharp but he never draws it without a cause
Miyamoto Musashi the best swordsman ever will be a good teacher for you
Pachinko!
I'm sorry
You stupid bastards!
Go away! You bastard!
What's happening?
Ahem, it's your fault Don't be rude
Apologize now
I'm sorry
Japan Karate Association
The bed-wetter of lkebukuro!
That's what people call you these days
Is that why you begged for your life? To live like that?
You are shameless!
What made Miyamoto Musashi different from other warriors
as that he dreamed of being the best fighter in the world
The best, the strongest man in the world!
That is what you should dream of to be as strong as your name Baedal, 'the Korean people'
If you practice for a thousand days you're still a beginner
But if you practice for ten thousand days you can become a master
This is kyokushin or 'pure truth'
The spirit of kyokushin means to do your best, until the last moment
Today, I'm still walking aimlessly
Help our lady!
Please help!
Stop it!
Let's go! We shouldn't have seen it
- What the fuck up bitch - Help, please help the lady!
Officer! help!
Those bastards are worse than the police or yakuzas!
Let's go, hurry!
Please, help! Please!
Please, don't do this!
Somebody help!
The Japs don't protect their own girls
Why are you getting involved? Shit!
Help please help
Help!
Somebody help!

Setsu!
Setsu! Have you heard of the brave tiger?
The brave tiger? The mythical hero?
No, I mean, recently
Ah, the man who saves girls from American soldiers?
That's just a story
That man who helped me maybe he was the brave tiger?
Heck, no!
I'm sure he was the brave tiger
If not, how come he would risk his life to save me?
Then you think the guy who saved you is a hero? The brave tiger?
A hero is protecting girls in this neighborhood?
WANTED

Are you OK?

Long time no see, brave tiger?
I don't understand
Don't you know what we did to Korean women?
Why are you helping Japanese women?
Is that why you called me here?
I have been practicing karate since I was five
and I have never been beaten by anyone in a fight
You're the first one to hit me
In that sense, I acknowledge your fighting spirit
But that's all
Don't ever talk of the brave tiger or pretend to have a noble samurai spirit!
Next time I see you you'll be dead!
Have some fun here!
It's pachinko!
Get out of my lane
Pachinko! Louder! Louder!
Go away!
Find the rationing tickets!
Find them! Check everywhere!
Pachinko, ah, I'm hungry
Hey, Why so glum?
Why are you so happy?
The yakuzas came here a while ago so I was really worried
But they just passed by
They seemed to be going somewhere else
Where?
Over there, near the railway that way
Where?
Where are the ration tickets?
Here! Come this way!
Are the ration tickets more important than your life?
Baedal, Baedal! Wake up! Baedal, Baedal!
Justice without power is empty but power without justice is only violence
Be strong to protect yourself and others

What do you think of Choi Baedal's recent actions?
What do you think of all the martial art schools being defeated by his karate?
People say Choi Baedal faces discrimination because he's Korean Martial arts are
They consist of courtesy loyalty and promises
It is a philosophy, ideology and all the principles of human psychology
That Korean bastard dishonors the Japanese martial arts pretending to be Musashi!
Choi Baedal's karate has none of these things
It is not a martial art
We should've killed him earlier
Then what is his karate?
It is not karate It's just fighting
Choi Baedal is just a common thug
He will realize how trivial he is when he sees his last moment
Oh, Baedal!
Look at them!
Mr Choi Baedal

Please
Mr Choi Baedal
Get in line
Thank you
Sign, please

Baedal what's wrong with you?
You were very lucky
It was really dangerous this time, you bastard
Let him rest
Did you see his face?
I guess you're a real famous person now
getting stabbed in the street!
How about going into business together?
I'll prepare a dojo for you And we get
8 to 2 Me 8, you 2
It's quite a good deal
Chunbae!
Why, what's wrong?
Leave, please!
What's wrong with her? Is she having her period now?
She has it everyday
No, I'm ok
Youko?
Are you out of your mind?
What will you do if your patron find out?
He's my guest Treat him well
Leave him before
it's too late
Ending it would be good for you and good for him, too
Remember, a geisha is a flower blossoming only for her patron!
Some guy in the ally gave me this
CHALLENGE - HAHURIDA SHRINE RYOMA
Surprise
Why don't you sleep?
Have you ever thought of death?
Not really
I'm scared
When I take a bath before a fight
I think I shouldn't look dirty even if I die in the fight
I don't want anyone to see my dirty underwear
even if I get crippled in the fight
So I wash
and wash again
I thought that it isn't bad to die in a real fight
But now I'm scared of death
I don't want to die or
be crippled
and never see your face again
Youko! A message for you
I'm sorry
I have to go now
I'm sorry
Don't go!
What would you do if there's someone who hates to see you get hurt worse than her own death?
I'm the one who's really scared
I thought you were going to die
I was really scared
You're Korean and you are a fighter
Both things are too hard for me
However, I was trying to stop being a geisha
I don't want anything!
I just want you to stay with me and be healthy!
Don't get hurt don't be sick
Like now
Promise me!
Promise me
that you'll never fight again
Please!
You must be hungry
Wait a little
Baedal a phone call for you
Hello
Chunbae? Where are you?
Baedal!
See you soon!
HAHURIDA SHRINE
Chunbae!
Baedal, they said next time Youko
Is this Kato's will?
My will
MEJIRO POLICE - TOKYO
He doesn't want to see you
Will you tell him that I'll be waiting for him?
I knew there were some crazy old men in the association
but I didn't expect Ryoma would draw his sword on the bed-wetter
If you really want to conquer the martial arts of Japan don't you think you should confront me?
What do you think?
I won't fight!
I broke a promise with someone I care about
and I even killed a man because of my fear
That's your weak point
Listen to me
The ultimate truth in all martial arts is victory!
Come out and fight with me
Prove yourself with a real fight!
If it's your duty to prove yourself
mine is to protect the martial arts of Japan
I'll be waiting for you at Musashino
Come on out! Hey, didn't you hear? You've been released!
Not guilty by self-defense
Of course we should take revenge for Ryoma
and for the heads of the schools
We must prove that Baedal is not the best
that he's just trash
I will execute him in public!
It's a fight for death
Mom!
Who are you?
Ma'am! I'm Choi Baedal
I killed your husband
Murderer!
You came here to kill my mother?
Ma'am Take this uniform
I'll never fight again
Give me a hoe and shovel
I'll help as much as I can
Get lost! I never want
to see your face again!
You want to fight with me now?
What are you going to do? You have no father
You've never been to the top of the mountain, stupid?
I don't think he has
You can't go there alone
My father will take me there
Bastard say something
The bastard with no father
What a poor thing
Miserable thing
You're dead next time
I want to go to the top of the mountain
What?
Where are we going?
Hey, Baedal
Is he Ryoma's son?
FROM CHOI BEADAL
CHOI BAEDAL DISHONORS RYOMA'S WIFE
They're saying all kinds of silly things because you're staying quiet
I don't fight anymore
Why do you keep running away? Why?
You really don't know what you have to do?
You really don't?
I've been reading the newspapers
I'm sorry
No, it's okay
Newspapers can't tell all the truth
People will see the truth as time goes by
However
I hope you do something for my son, Tomoya
What do you mean?
Be a good man for Tomoya
Be the strongest man in Japan
Then he will be able to grow up
a good man, without a father
I don't understand
Go out and fight them
Please, beat them!
For Tomoya
Ma'am!
I think you'd better leave before he wakes up
Stop!
Better than I expected
You dreamed of too much greenhorn!
You're just one more mountain I have to climb
After you die what shall I do with your body?
Any place under the sky
I am afraid of fighting
I am afraid of being beaten and losing
But I am more afraid of surviving as a cripple than dying in fight
However, I always try to find a new enemy
