STREET FIRE

Shut the fuck up, man! That's bullshit.

Who cares if you ride or not? You're wasting my time.

"Won't" ain't the same as "can't," right?

He ain't wrong.

Don't talk shit, jerk.

He has to break up the gang, no other choice.

Yeah, he's right.

So, what's the point?

We'll just fade away.

And achieve what?

At least the cops will be happy.

We'll ride as long as we can. Right, guys?!

I'm pissed off.

Be serious, for god's sake.

Ken, what about your gang?

Come on, make up your mind!

Will you go on riding or not?

- You should know when to quit, right, guys? - Right!

We came here to decide.

Don't wanna leave behind any grudges.

What do you think?

My mind's a blank.

There ain't no choice.

I'll shut 'em up.

Some won't buy it.

Don't you worry...

We'll take care of them.

Right, Ken?

No worries?

You guys agree or what?

Let's get outta here!

Bunch of losers!

This is what we decided at the meeting:

The Maboroshi (Phantoms) Flag comes down today.

You'll become members of the Elbou Alliance...

and will act accordingly.

Out of my way!

What's going on here?

Ain't you ashamed?

- It's our decision. - Your decision, more like...

You're all chicken!

Fuck you!

The ex-leader of the Maboroshi Bikers sunk this low!

Pathetic!

The cops will come after us?

Great, we'll give 'em a run for their money.

She's turned you soft!

- Jin! - Shut up!

Listen, Ken...

You can't stop the rest of us riding!

Don't just sit there, the rest of you!

I'll lead the Maboroshi from now on!

Got that?

You heard me.

Let's hit the road.

Shigeru, come with me.

Don't be as dumb as the rest of them.

Let's split.

You think you're cool.

But you're up against me from now on.

You hicks belong on a farm.

Yeah, peasants!

I'm sorry.

You quit for my sake.

That's not true.

The guys hate you.

Guess I'm getting old.

I've lost it, don't know what to do anymore.

Don't blame yourself.

I owe them.

Go on riding!

Isn't that what you want, Ken?

Noriko!

BATTLE-ROYALE-SQUARE

I don't have to stop riding!

We have to go on and on!

The thing is...

...what kind of men are you?

The Dokuro (Skulls), The Maboroshi, The Gaya (Power)...

What were we all fighting for?

Uniting isn't the main issue.

We all gotta think about survival.

We talked about it... and we made a decision.

If you don't go along with it...

you'll be kicked out.

Got it?

We're gonna be "loveable" bikers from now on.

See?

Hold it!

If we really do come together... What makes you think we'll stay united?

Why should we always dance to your tune?

What do you mean?

Hell, don't you ever get mad?

What about those punks who jumped us the other day?

Some of us were hurt badly. But... others were hardly touched.

What are you saying?

Are we gonna let those scum get away with it?

You think it was us?

Prove it, goddamit!

Shit, we weren't touched...

Because they couldn't touch us, asshole!

So where the hell are the Maboroshi Kamikazes?

We'll never find out who jumped us.

Yeah, think about it.

This lot are like mad dogs.

If we knew, we'd have had our revenge long ago.

Ken, what do we do now?

It's too late to catch them now.

- You think it really was Jin? - That's not my point.

Those punks were real dangerous.

Going after them is asking for more trouble.

Who's there?

Long time no see!

Takeshi!

That was a stupid meeting today.

- Too right! - We behaved like fools.

Let's score some girls.

- Shall we? - Let's do it.

Hey, that's Jin from the Maboroshi!

That asshole!

Give me that bottle.

Get me a helmet.

Keep to the left, jerks!

Don't fuck with the kamikaze!

Let's get outta here.

So that's the story.

Don't know what to do.

What's the problem?

These guys are raring to go get 'em.

Wrong man! We ain't crazy no more.

Then forget about revenge.

- None of your business anyway. - Shut up!

I won't butt in.

You're a real big guy these days, huh?

Takeshi... - Let them be what they want.

You were the warriors, remember?

Scary!

We were the warriors.

But, I see...

You guys got problems.

Leave it to me.

- Can't wait anymore. - We've been screwed.

- Let's go! - Let 'em try to stop us!

We're staying.

- What's Ken's plan? - Forget about him.

I know who did it.

We'll kill 'em!

- Keep this quiet from the Maboroshi guys. - Sure!

It's a deal!

BACKBLEEKER FORT

Hey, Jin...

Jin, look... There's a stranger here.

Who the hell are you?

You must be Jin.

Yes sir, can I be of service?

I'm Takeshi... Pleased to meet you.

As you can see I'm an infantryman. Let's talk a bit.

What's there to talk about, you old fart?

- I'm sorry I broke in here. - Screw you!

- I have something to say. - Well, I don't.

Don't move another inch!

Fuck off!

Get the hell out of here!

Why? Let's not fight.

What do you want?

I founded the Maboroshi eight years ago.

Now I'm one of its seniors.

I see... So Ken sent you here?

That does it! Get the fuck out!

Calm down, boy, listen...

- Die, fascist scum! - You should know... I'm on your side.

I'm right behind you guys who want to raise hell on your bikes.

You beat the pseudo grown-ups any day.

But listen, Jin...

This way you'll end up wasting your energies.

- What does he mean, Jin? - Who cares?

I'll make you a proposal.

Let me put your energies to good use.

What do you mean?

I'm asking you to join us before you hit a dead end.

Leave it out! We don't need this crap!

Why don't you just get lost?

Disappear!

All right, I'll go.

But think about it.

This is where you can reach me. Anytime.

Watch out! The other gangs are on their way to get you!

I made him gone, guys!

Throw that away!

I need some dope. Let's get high.

Some real good stuff.
