Tiger Mask (タイガーマスク)

At last, today's main event is about to begin!

Here's 250-pound Super Kong of the Dragon's Lair

with 5 wins and one loss.

Listen to him roar! What a monster!

The challenger from the Tiger's Lair debuts in this match today!

He is Gold Tiger Mask, also known as the Yellow Devil.

Will he emerge victorious from his debut match?

Or will he become the latest victim

of Super Kong's win streak?

A one fall match with no time limit!

A hair-raising battle is set to begin!

A barrage of kicks and punches!

Both sides look sharp!

However, Gold Tiger Mask seems to have a slight edge.

Or not!

Super Kong unleashes a roar of wrath!

"10 years ago"

"Children's Home"

Everybody, gather round!

Make two lines starting here.

Older kids, take care of the younger ones.

Does everyone have their booklets?

Yes...

All right, then. Let's go!

Naoto?

Ruriko, what's the matter?

Naoto. Hurry up, or you'll be left behind.

Look! Elephants! They're huge!

Over there too! See?

They are big, aren't they?

Take a good look, okay?

Naoto!

Naoto.

Where have you been?

Mommy! Daddy!

Thank goodness!

Don't take off like that.

Let's go. Okay.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

You're lying. It's all over your face.

You too, Ruriko.

Meaning what?

I don't want to get kicked out of this Children's Home.

So, you know that the property manager came?

I am so sorry!

Mr. Wakatsuki, I didn't come here for apologies.

Read this.

If you can't pay, you must move out. It's in the lease.

I'm doing my best to cut costs as much as possible.

As I explained before...

this is an orphanage that relies solely on donations.

A field trip tomorrow?

You should pay rent first, don't you think?

It's the only trip we go on every year.

Our children look forward to this.

Well, we are taking legal actions now.

Please! If you could ask the landlord

to give us one more month...

We've already done this three times!

We can't do this anymore!

Please! I'm begging you!

For the love of God, Mr. Kinoshita!

The children have nowhere else to go.

This is their only home.

I'm begging you!

I can't do anything.

Please!

If I were strong enough, I'd beat him up.

I wish my mom was still alive.

I guess we won't be able to stay together.

Hey.

This is for you.

No. Take it.

That way, you will always remember me.

I'll remember you!

Just keep it.

Naoto?

What's the matter?

Date Naoto.

Come with me. And you'll be strong.

You have special power.

Naoto?

Naoto, where are you going?

Who are you, mister?

If you could have one wish granted...

Name one.

To be strong.

I don't want to be alone again.

I see. Then come with me.

To where?

To the Tiger's Lair.

Naoto...

Dad! Akira! What happened?

Naoto is gone!

Naoto...

Naoto's missing! Naoto...

Naoto!

Naoto...

Are you listening?

Sorry. What is it?

Were you recruited by Mr. X, too?

Yeah, I was. You too, Dan?

I think everyone here has been.

In your case, he just had pity on you.

What's his problem?

You don't want to talk to him.

How come?

He burned his family's house down.

Shut your mouth!

He wouldn't have a place to go back to, then.

Get off, you brats!

Come on! Move it!

This whip is for lazy bums!

Hurry up, already!

Move.

Follow me.

Hurry up and walk!

We're here,

This is your new home. The Tiger's Lair.

Line up!

Single file!

Welcome to the Tiger's Lair.

There's no reason to fear.

You should consider yourselves lucky.

You've been selected as part of this family.

1 will be your father and...

your mentor too.

You have older brothers. They arrived before you.

Follow the teachings of the Tiger's Lair,

and this is what you'll become.

They are the greatest fighters on Earth,

They have trained for years...

to become absolutely unbeatable.

A glorious future awaits only those

who endure harsh training.

These are no ordinary masks.

It took me years to perfect these Tiger Masks.

These masks are capable of unlocking

the wearer's deepest potential beyond his limit.

The white one unleashes power.

The gold one enhances speed.

And the one that is superior to both in every aspect is...

this black Tiger Mask.

Complete the arduous training here.

If you are deemed worthy,

you will have the honor of wearing one of the masks.

Listen carefully.

Train hard and...

embody the soul of the beast in your body.

Strive for a strength...

That no man can defeat!

Here are the commandments of the Tiger's Lair.

Repeat after me.

Yes, madam...

First, mercy is for the weak.

First, mercy is for the weak...

Second, fairness is the excuse of fools.

Second, fairness is the excuse of fools...

And finally, what is the reason why we fight?

For the glory of the Tiger's Lair!

For the glory of the Tiger's Lair...

Once again!

First, mercy is for the weak...

Second, fairness is the excuse of fools...

What do we fight for?

For the glory of the Tiger's Lair...

You could get yourselves killed!

A weak man can't survive.

That's the fate for those who live here.

Good job today, everyone.

I prepared this special dinner with the greatest care.

Here are the perfect meal

and dietary supplements for your needs.

Don't be picky. Eat it all.

Stop it.

Just give me your meat.

All right.

Here you go.

Don't mess with me!

Who do you think I am?

I'll wear the black Tiger someday.

You little turd!

Come on.

Why, you!

Boys, stop it!

Calm down!

Come get me!

You two! Stop!

Let go of me!

I said, stop!

Stop!

A deadly attack, the Tiger's Lair Plug.

Stop, do you not understand?

I must ask Mr. X to punish you.

Remember, you'll pay for this.

Line up.

Still have energy to fight each other?

I'll make a point of working you harder tomorrow.

Fighting among brothers is not allowed here.
