Knockout!
- Here he comes. - That's Shinjo.
- Shinjo, can I interview you? - Excuse me.
Congratulations, Mr. Shinjo. We'd like to interview you.
Next up is the World Boxing Championships.
Are you OK?
Looks like a pretty bad accident.
Yes, it was terrible.
Will you take care of Manami?
Me? No. No way.
Mom!
Listen.
You haven't fought in a long time. Take it slow and steady.
Keep your distance!
Footwork. Footwork.
Come back, come back. Regain your footing.
Very good. There you go, there you go! That's good.
Hey, calm down. Calm down!
- Hey, hey! - She's moving a lot.
Watch your step.
Attack, attack!
Good, good, good. Keep attacking.
Break it up. Break it up.
Go.
Good, good, good. Keep it up. Keep it up, keep it up!
Break it up! Break it up! Break it up!
Break!
Slip.
We wanna see some real punches!
Can you do it?
What the hell?
Pull yourself together!
Get up.
The tea's getting cold!
Stand up.
Please don't hug. Next time you'll lose points.
Let's start.
Good!
Use a quick jab. Good!
Are you dancing or boxing?
Come on, fight!
Boxer Otani, if you don't attack, the fight will be over.
Fight.
Break it up.
Break it up!
The score is 3-0. The result...
The winner, the red corner...
Masaki Kanae!
Thanks for your hard work.
Thank you for your hard work.
How are you, Emi?
Congratulations!
How's the weight loss going so far?
It's going well.
Hey, brother.
Where's Manami?
Give this to her. Take it.
Take care it.
Let's go.
Mom!
Ouch...
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
Thank you.
It's a pity you didn't win the return battle.
At least
I got my fee.
Emi looked a little tired just now.
But that's okay. After the match,
she felt relieved after all the anxiousness.
And, uh, even though it's just the end of the game,
there's that thing about tomorrow.
Uh, yeah.
- My place? - Yeah.
Let's play with dolls when we get home.
- Okay, we'll play together. - Yeah.
Here you go, little sister.
Mommy, look!
We're finally here.
I only have water here.
Thank you.
About tomorrow's hearing...
Most biological parents usually get custody, but...
What are you worried about, then?
Well, the other side's arguing for custody of the child.
Do you remember when Emi fainted in kindergarten because of malnutrition?
If they found out, it would be very bad for us.
I see.
It can't happen again. You have to be more careful.
I'm aware of that.
I'll buy food and pay the rent.
That's good.
I look forward to tomorrow.
Thank you for your hard work.
I'll try my best.
It's in my eye.
I'm sorry.
But you'll look pretty afterward.
I'm beautiful.
Okay, look in front.
- It feels good. - Feels good?
- Yeah. - You like riding the bike, don't you?
- Did you make any friends in kindergarten? - Yeah.
How many?
About five.
- That many? - Yeah.
That's impressive.
We're almost there.
- Having a good time? - Yeah.
Good morning.
- How's Emi? - I'm good.
Did she eat well?
Yeah, she's fine.
- That's great. - Good morning.
-Good morning. - Good morning.
Is it too tight?
No, it's not.
Here you go.
See you.
I have to get food first...
It's time. Come on in.
Oh.
Uhm...
What's wrong?
Uh...
I'm sorry I'm late.
Apparently, Emi wants to live with her mother.
Ms. Ota is also trying to improve her financial situation.
I don't think it's a good idea to keep them apart.
She doesn't make enough money from boxing.
She's always working odd jobs, so it's hard to improve her financial situation.
Besides, I heard that her child recently fainted in kindergarten.
It must be due to malnutrition caused by poor diet.
Regarding that, she has already done some serious soul-searching,
and she won't let it happen again.
Growing up in such a bad environment.
How can we be sure it won't happen again?
I won't give up Emi.
Manami.
I suggest you resolve this through mediation.
The next hearing is in four weeks, on May 16th.
We'll let you know when the paperwork is ready.
That's all for today.
Mom, wait.
I'm Emi's real mom.
I know.
So just because you gave birth to her, you can call yourself a mother?
A mother's job is to raise her child well.
You're not doing that right now.
How long does it take to display the products?
We're about to open.
Wait a minute. You've got the prices wrong.
Unbelievable.
Are you working, or are you trying to help me get more work?
But you just said that's the price of this lunchbox.
No way. How could I have made such a mistake?
Are you kidding? Blaming me for your mistake.
I'm sorry.
I'm told by headquarters that staffing costs are too high.
Do you know what's cost-effectiveness?
I'm sure the store's profits will go up if you're fired.
I'm sorry, but I can't be without a job.
Is it because your husband makes too little money?
Why else would you work in a place like this?
There he goes again.
Come on, let's go.
That's the price of Don Yang's Chicken Lunchables, right?
You're just messing with her, right?
What?
Bullying someone who can't fight back to make yourself feel better.
That's not right, is it?
We all work hard for different reasons.
Who do you think you are?
You're always telling me what to do, but get this straight.
The store manager - is me!
That's right. I'll report it to headquarters.
Ota, you're fired.
What?
You don't have to come in from tomorrow.
I'll pay you your salary up to today.
Come on, Sawada, don't just stand there!
Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Yamakawa.
Yamakawa, please throw these away for me.
Yes, of course.
This is Emi's dinner.
Wow, it's a hamburger!
It's delicious.
Where's Mom's dinner?
Mom's full. It's okay.
I'll eat it then.
Enjoy.
It's delicious.
Is it good?
Hurry up and eat!
Keep going... don't stop, don't stop!
Don't stop! Keep going...
Hey, don't stop, keep going. Very good, very good.
Keep going. Hold on a little longer.
Ten more seconds. Don't rest.
Don't rest. Keep going! Keep going! Keep going...
Don't rest. Come to the ring.
Let's do some fast boxing
Let's do it. Come on...don't stop. Don't stop.
Keep going, don't stop, keep going!
Tired so soon?
Have you been running?
It's not easy.
It's ten times harder to come back than it was to debut.
Pull yourself together.
You haven't paid the rent.
I'm sorry.
Besides this month, last month and the month before that...
You're getting on my nerves.
I'll pay.
Please do.
I'm sorry.
Mom.
Are you okay?
I'm okay. Let's watch TV together!
Mom, the TV won't turn on.
Let's not watch TV. Let's do something more fun.
Punch! Punch! Punch!
Emi's so strong.
Punch, punch, punch.
Punch, punch, punch, punch, punch, punch!
You dropped out of high school, didn't you?
Yes.
I can do anything. I can work in an office.
There's a lot more competition for real office jobs.
I can do anything.
I'm a boxer. I'm stronger than most girls.
A boxer?
Please.
Then...
How about this? There's a shortage of jobs like this.
Open your mouth.
Right, okay.
And then gargle.
Can you do it?
Okay, get ready for school.
Good morning.
Sorry to bother you so early.
That's because it's the only time I'm available.
For the next hearing,
you'll need to find a steady job first.
I'm sure that's fine.
Caregiver?
My parents died a long time ago.
I thought I was taking care of them.
If you prepare well, you'll get your license.
Being a caregiver is hard. It's harder than you think.
Emi, come on.
It'll be fine. I'm very strong, and it's good training for boxing.
If I get enough experience, I can get a full-time job.
Then I can buy Emi new shoes.
New shoes?
Yeah, you'll see.
It's gonna take a while, so wait patiently.
It's done.
You'll squeeze the air out.
Stop running, Emi.
Come here.
Gotcha!
Ah, it's about time.
Emi, let's go to the bathroom.
Let's go.
Let's go in.
That was a muscle-building exercise.
Yeah, right.
The power's out at your house, right?
Use this.
What?
Thank you very much.
Hello.
Oh.
Mr. Ito, are you okay?
Are you all right?
I'm sorry. Could you bring the cleaning supplies, please?
Mr. Ito, are you okay?
Are you okay?
What's wrong?
Something happened in the men's room.
I'll go help.
Thank you.
- Ota, finish up here. - Yes.
- I'll leave you to it. - Yes.
I was surprised.
Why?
- He's bald. - Eh?
Didn't he have a lot of hair before?
Yes, he did.
Is he wearing a wig?
Thanks for your hard work.
Come and sit down.
Thank you for your hard work.
So, is everything okay?
Oh, sorry I'm not much help.
Not at all! You're just starting out, and you're doing so well.
Right?
Hey, help me up.
Again. Give me a break.
Miyashita, that's not very nice.
I'll go.
But...
I want to get used to this job.
Then I'll leave you to it.
Yes.
Come help me. I need to go to the bathroom.
I'm here.
Hurry up. I'm about to pee.
I'll move your legs first.
I'll help you up. One, two...
That hurts. Why did you let go?
It hurts.
Yes... sorry.
Then turn it over.
Do the same thing again.
The sheets aren't made!
There.
It's all wrinkled!
Treat your guests like gods!
Ota.
Yes.
I'm sorry. Thank you.
You offered to take care of Mr. Tsukuda.
Oh, it's nothing.
He's been like this since his wife died.
Can you imagine him as a boss in Tokyo?
If you can't stand it, tell me.
I'll switch with you.
Thank you.
But I can do it.
I see.
- Please help me with the rice. - Yes.
Ota?
What's wrong?
Nothing.
This... is for you.
But...
It's okay.
I'm not really hungry anyway.
I can't just throw it away.
But...
I'll see you tomorrow.
What are you doing?
I'm reading books for my job.
The more you read, the more money you'll make.
Then I can buy lots of good food for Emi.
Really?
What does Emi want to eat?
Yakiniku!
Yakiniku, huh? Got it. I'll try my best.
Yakiniku
All right, let's eat.
Mr. Tsukuda, it's time for lunch.
Stand up.
One, two...
What the hell!
Why did you let go?
You want to kill me?
If I break a bone, how will you pay me back?
I'm sorry.
You're sorry? What's the use of being sorry?
It hurts.
It's not easy to find work.
I'm telling you,
if I file a complaint, you'll lose your job!
I'm warning you, don't let go this time.
Yes.
Well, then.
Let's go.
Could you hold my waist a little bit, please?
What?
Are you blaming me now? Asshole!
We're your caregivers, not hostesses.
It's not our job to let you touch your ass.
Shut up!
What are you talking about?
You're a single mom, right?
It's going to be hard for you to lose this job, isn't it?
So you better listen to me.
You'll do whatever I say, okay?
I'm asking you if you understand, asshole.
Son of a bitch!
Mr. Tsukuda, please don't do this.
It's all your fault, you asshole!
Please don't do this.
You asshole!
It hurts.
It hurts! It hurts!
Mr. Tsukuda, are you okay?
Be quiet!
My daughter's home alone.
Let me out! Please! Let me out!
Please!
Let me out.
Please.
Emi...
You can go now.
Where's Emi?
Your coworkers put in a good word for you.
Where's Emi?
Don't tell me, because I wasn't there, she overslept?
After all, I spoiled her. She can't live without me...
Emi is...
Emi's gone.
Hitoshi's mother took her away last night.
The custody order has been issued.
There's nothing we can do...
Manami!
Good morning, Emi. Did you sleep well?
What are you drawing?
It's my day off. Let's go shopping.
Shall we buy some new clothes?
Where's Mommy?
Mommy did something bad and was arrested at the police station.
That's why you can't see...
Liar.
It's true.
It's okay. You can stay here from now on.
I want to see my mom.
Mom?
Emi! Emi!
Manami.
Where's Emi?
So you were released.
Where's Emi?
Don't worry. She's happily painting.
Bring Emi back to me!
Emi!
Be quiet and listen to me.
The court has ruled that I am to take care of Emi.
This is the official decision of the court.
Please accept it.
No way!
If you make any more noise, I'll call the police.
This will be very bad for you in court.
You don't want to be with Emi?
Anyway, I'll think of something else.
Where's Mommy?
That's not Mommy. That's just a stranger.
It's true.
Mommy!
Emi, listen to me.
It's not good for either of you to see your mom right now.
Do you understand?
Mommy...
I'm sorry, Manami.
I'm so sorry that this happened.
I'm so sorry.
But I...
guess it's my destiny.
Lately,
I've been dreaming about the first time we met.
At the time,
I was a workaholic.
I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
At that time.
My friend invited me
to see you fight.
You lost that fight.
You took one punch at a time.
But you got up again and again.
I thought you were amazing.
Watching you.
Something changed in my heart
From that moment on,
I would never forget you.
Without even thinking, I proposed to you.
I'm such a weirdo, aren't I?
Good morning. - Good morning.
When's the next race?
I don't want to lose next time.
My locker.
I don't teach boxers to hurt people.
But I was acquitted.
You don't pay your fees. You don't practice.
You don't take my advice in the ring.
This is not a charity.
You can go now.
Wait, wait.
Don't bother me again.
Especially Yuka.
You...
Have you ever wondered why she's helping you like this?
Because...
You remind her of our mom.
Our mother was a single parent.
We've all seen how hard she's worked.
So when you were in pain.
It's like seeing her own mom suffer.
It's always heartbreaking.
Just to help you,
no matter how busy she was, she would help you.
It hurt me to see that.
So...
- Good morning. - Good morning.
Watch where you're going, asshole!
What the hell?
Miss. Miss.
You're super slim and super pretty.
Are you interested in making money?
Just once. I assure you, it's just once.
You could make a lot of money.
Can I start today?
Just wait a moment.
Not bad.
The standard wounded and depressed type.
That's the easiest target.
I've been getting messages from bald men lately.
- It's the old man? - Yes, the old man.
But he's never been in the store.
He keeps asking, "When can I meet you?"
That's disgusting.
Maria.
You've been chosen.
What are you doing?
Why are you here?
My students saw you walk in.
That's enough. Leave me alone.
I went too far.
Please.
Think about Emi.
It's none of your business.
It's none of your business!
It's my problem.
Just leave me alone.
Where have you been?
I...
I don't know what to do anymore!
Is it better to turn a blind eye to someone's bad behavior?
Is it better to give up boxing?
I know Emi doesn't like to see me get knocked out.
I know I should give up, but
No! You're wrong.
Emi...
She doesn't hate you boxing at all.
I asked her why she made that face when you fought.
And then,
she said she loved watching her mom fight.
But she doesn't like to see you lose.
It makes her sad, frustrated.
So you don't have to give up boxing.
You have to be in a place where you can shine and be happy.
That's what makes Emi happy, isn't it?
But if this keeps up, she'll go hungry!
It just keeps getting harder and harder!
That's why...
you have to do everything to become a world champion.
Then you'll both be happy.
The body is swinging too much. Move a little less.
Relax your body.
Tighten your arms. Breathe.
Breathe faster.
Are your eyes swollen from crying?
Hey.
Put it on.
I'm going to teach you how to box properly.
First, I'll build up your endurance.
Run 10 kilometers a day and jump rope for 30 minutes.
46...
47...faster.
49...
50.
Where's Emi?
She went to a new kindergarten.
On Saturday?
It's a private school.
I want to give that child the best environment possible.
You don't have to go.
It's a nice place, and the security is good.
If you act impulsively and get arrested again, you know the consequences.
Mom.
You think I killed Hitoshi, don't you?
Because he married me.
That's why Hitoshi died.
That's not it.
That's why you took Emi.
Come with me.
Certainly when Hitoshi died, I hated you.
That is true.
I was against you marrying him.
But right now I'm very worried about Emi.
I can raise Emi.
You always say that.
You don't listen to others, you just run wild.
That's why I can't just sit back and do nothing!
A child's childhood may seem long, but it's really short.
Every failure makes an impact!
Did you know that Emi was bullied in her last kindergarten?
She never told me.
Of course she wouldn't tell you.
It's wrong to think that having a child makes you a parent.
It's not the birth that counts, it's how you raise her.
Before, people didn't think much of me either...
Hitoshi.
Just a while longer.
Hitoshi!
It's okay. Just a little while.
I'll finish my thesis in six months.
I went on to graduate school.
I suffered through it.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Please help me.
It's okay.
Please help me.
All I think about every day is Hitoshi.
I was about to collapse.
When you're a single mom, you have to be prepared.
Emi is your daughter. You can't let her go.
But she's also my only precious granddaughter.
I know that.
You don't know that!
It may be fate that Hitoshi fell in love with you.
But I don't think you're cut out to be a mother.
It's true that I can't make a living as a professional boxer.
I admit it.
So...
I...
I'm gonna be the champion.
And if I'm the champion, I'll make enough money.
And Emi won't be bullied anymore.
There you go again.
Six months. Please give me six months.
I'll be champion in six months.
Please wait for me.
Her punches are different.
She's serious.
She's a big hit with the boxing association.
They're looking for a preliminary opponent.
So she can win and become world champion?
It's possible.
You're thinking of Manami?
You think she...
How many rounds has she gone?
Manami, let's get out of the ring.
Let's go practice the basics.
Here you go.
Want to fight?
She's a world-ranked featherweight with seven wins in seven fights.
She's strong.
You want to be a champion soon?
What are your strengths?
Footwork and punching power.
Yes, but you rely on them too much.
Improve your defense and speed to make it count.
Okay, let's go.
Hands up.
Start with defense.
Tighten your arms. Relax your body.
That's good. That's good.
Keep your head in the game.
Let's go.
Okay, here we go.
Jab.
Good, good, good.
Three punches.
Make a combination.
Four.
Quick punch.
Keep going, keep going...
Very good. Very good. Very good.
Keep going. Keep going.
Don't give up. Come on. Very good.
That was great.
If you can talk, that means you still have energy.
Let's do it again. Come on, come on.
How was it, feels good?
Good morning.
How's Emi?
She's not feeling well lately.
Is she eating?
Not much.
Mommy!
Wait, why did that child...?
Emi.
Give it back.
Emi, you have to give it back.
I don't want to!
Emi, Emi!
Mommy.
Next is the photo session.
Will the two contestants please come to the front?
Let's get into a fighting stance, face to face.
Closer, please.
Relax your expression a little bit more.
Very good. Thank you.
Now face forward.
Very good.
Ms. Shiratori, very good. Ms. Ota, a little more aggressive, please.
Very good. A few more shots.
Keep your eyes straight ahead.
Ms. Ota?
Is that Ota's daughter?
Her daughter is here!
I'm sorry. Please don't take any pictures.
Excuse me.
Manami, calm down. They're all taking pictures.
Wait.
Mommy!
Emi.
Mommy.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Are they treating you okay?
Yeah.
That's great.
How about you, Mommy? You've lost weight.
I've been working hard at boxing.
When I'm champion, we can live together again.
Yeah.
No pictures, please.
Emi!
It's not Mom's fault.
I came to her on my own.
Emi.
I'll be sure to pick you up.
Yeah.
We were worried about you.
Emi, let's go.
Emi, I'm going for it.
Don't stop. Don't stop.
Very good. Keep going. Keep going.
I will now announce the result.
Judge Shimooka!
59-55
Red Corner White Bird
Judge Hajime
58-56
Blue corner Ota
Judge Yuhara
58-56
Total score 2-1
The winner is...
Blue Corner
Ota Manami!
Well done!
The winner Ms. Ota.
has qualified for the next bout.
You've broken your metacarpal. You need to rest.
How long will it take?
Two months, then it'll heal slowly.
I can't wait that long. I have a contract.
If you get a second injury, it's hard to recover.
Good morning, everyone.
Brother, she's here.
Congratulations!
What's going on?
This fight is just a stepping stone.
How are you doing, Manami?
I'm fine.
Take some time off.
Don't look like that. Rest for a week or two.
There should be some interviews in the meantime.
Okay.
Here you go.
Happy birthday.
Take it easy. You'll get used to this place.
Emi, would you like to wear a birthday hat?
It suits you.
So cute.
Run!
-Emi... - Are you okay?
-Emi. - Are you okay?
Manami, can you hold her?
Is she still crying?
Emi, does it hurt? Are you hurt?
I'm impressed. Mommy's really amazing.
Here we go.
Say cheese. Smile.
Okay, you're in the picture. Say cheese.
Is it too bright?
Is the sun too bright?
Let's get a little closer.
This is Mommy and Emi.
This is Daddy and Emi.
Can you do it, Daddy?
Of course I can.
Are you sure?
Emi, I'm going to throw it.
I don't think so.
No problem at all.
You can't do anything without me.
Leave it all to me.
Just leave everything to me.
I can't do anything without you.
- Mommy! - Emi.
You're so strong.
She's getting stronger.
I wish Emi could see you fight.
That's why love to see you box.
One, two. Jab.
Yeah, straight.
Jab.
That's good. Your hands are straight.
I want Emi to see you win the championship.
You want Daddy to see it, too, don't you?
Daddy won't be able to see it next time.
No way. Were you drinking?
What were you thinking? It's only been a couple days since the fight.
Drinking destroys a boxer, and you know it.
Pull yourself together.
You're going to win the world championship, aren't you?
And get Emi back?
Right?
The title match is against Natsumi Serizawa.
With 15 wins and 10 KOs.
She's the strongest she's ever been in this division.
What do you think?
I think Manami will do well.
I see.
When is your next fight scheduled?
In two months.
She's here.
Ms. Serizawa, are you confident of a KO this time?
Wow, you're going for a two-round KO!
Your opponent is single mom, Manami Ota.
This new fighter is strong.
She beat Aya Shiratori. What do you think?
Manami.
Let's do some practice.
Yes.
Jab!
Three in a row.
Straight right.
Let's see.
Hey, hey, hey!
It'll take a while to recover.
I thought you said it was just a scratch.
Yes, I did.
I'm going for a run.
Hey.
Your hand.
Is it broken?
Why didn't you tell me?
Then you wouldn't have let me box.
Of course not.
I have no choice. I have to fight.
If I win the next one, I can take Emi home.
But your hand.
I can't control my hand.
Are you kidding me!?
Your hand could be ruined!
I don't care what happens to my hand!
I don't know what to do anymore!
I can't live without Emi anymore.
I've worked so hard because I really want to win.
But with my hand like this, I can't win.
I have to win, but I don't know what to do.
Is there....
any other way?
- Listen, Mr. Tanigawa. - Yes.
This is a critical time for Emi.
There can't be any more changes.
Otherwise, her heart will never leave home.
I know that Manami is not a mature mother.
But she's trying very hard to fulfill her role.
She's in a lot of pain, too.
I didn't separate them because I hated her.
I just wanted to give Emi the best possible environment.
Manami...
Now...
She needs Emi very much.
Mr. Tanigawa.
I need Emi too.
I've been alone since Hitoshi died.
Emi is the only family I have left.
Do you understand?
Please leave.
Please.
What are you drawing?
Draw a place you want to go.
Where I want to go?
He's the reason I started boxing.
If your father had been able to make it to the title match...
If there hadn't been an accident, your father would have won.
A KO in one round.
Yeah.
I used the money from my last fight to buy shoes for Emi.
She's growing so fast, she'll soon outgrow them.
I see.
Thank you for that.
How's your body?
It's fine.
How can it be good?
For me.
For me, boxing is everything.
I practiced and practiced until I was exhausted.
I got to the top, and I got the belt.
I was so happy.
It was the happiest time of my life.
What was the view like?
Huh?
The view?
The ring was glittering. It was very bright.
I see.
When I was injured and retired.
I continued to run the gym even at a loss.
I guess I couldn't forget that view.
I want you to see it too.
No.
I want to see it again.
I...
I want to see it too.
My dad...was one step away from seeing it.
Even today,
I still dream about my dad's last match.
At that time, his whole body was glowing.
At the time, he said.
"I'm going to win next time. I'm going to be the champion."
I remember it very clearly.
But...
he never got a next time.
The "next time" that my father didn't get,
I want to make it for myself.
That's why I keep boxing.
Listen to me.
You don't need a reason to fight.
For yourself...
For the sake your children...
For the sake of your father.
You fight for your life.
I don't know what to say, but I envy you.
I'll be there for you.
Maybe that's enough.
Whatever
it takes to win this fight,
let's do it together.
Get in the ring.
South-paw?
Prepare your stance.
Don't say anything to the press, okay?
Ready.
Wrap your right foot back.
Then switch feet.
Left foot back.
That's it. That's good.
Right foot back, then switch feet, left foot back.
Yes, very good.
If you use it too often, you'll get caught.
Use it when the time is right.
Right.
Jab.
Again!
One more.
Okay, hook!
Step it up.
Keep going.
Again. Again.
Go on. Go on.
Regenerative medicine refers to the treatment of organs or tissues
that have been disabled by injury or disease by transplanting cells or tissues to regenerate lost functions.
It is the newest form of medicine that restores the function of organs or tissues.
If a person with knee pain so bad he can't walk
could walk again through regenerative medicine,
how happy would life be?
Stop the car.
