Fatal Fury 2: The New Battle (バトルファイターズ餓狼伝説2, Batoru Faitāzu Garō Densetsu 2, "Battle Fighters: Fatal Fury 2") is a 1993 anime television special based on the Neo Geo SNK video game Fatal Fury 2, and is a sequel to the 1992 television film Fatal Fury: Legend of the Hungry Wolf. The special was directed by Kazuhiro Furuhashi and once again features character designs by Masami Ōbari. It originally aired on Fuji TV on July 31, 1993.^[1] An English adaptation produced by Viz Communications was released on home video in 1994.

Plot

A German nobleman named Wolfgang Krauser tracks down his half-brother, Geese Howard, who has isolated himself in the mountains while recovering after his previous defeat. Krauser learns the name of the man who defeated Geese, Terry Bogard, and decides to challenge him to prove his superiority. Elsewhere, Terry meets up with a young boy named Tony who asks to be his disciple, but Terry refuses. After a sparring match with Kim Kaphwan, Terry is found by Krauser and fights him, but loses due to an injury from his battle with Kim. Krauser tells him to recover and meet him in Germany at Stroheim Castle for a rematch.

Terry wakes up in Tony's home and learns that he was taken care of by Tony's mother, Elza, who does not want Tony to emulate Terry's violent activities and demands that he leave. Later, Tony notices Terry at the train station and asks him to stay, but Terry refuses and forbids Tony to follow him, though Tony does so anyway without his knowledge. Tony attempts to help Terry prepare for his next fight with Krauser, but Terry believes he cannot win and falls into a deep depression, developing a drinking problem.

In Japan, Mai Shiranui visits the dojo where Jubei Yamada and Andy Bogard are training, wanting to see Andy. Joe Higashi also arrives to inform Andy of Terry's defeat. Later that night, Jubei informs Andy and Joe of Krauser's origins as the "Emperor of Darkness" and heir of the powerful Stroheim family, having scarred Geese and killed his own father as a teenager. Jubei warns them not to get involved, but Andy refuses and leaves with Joe to seek revenge. Jubei asks Mai, who had been eavesdropping, to accompany them.

Terry is later arrested for assault after beating up some street punks who attempted to rob him. Joe posts Terry's bail, but is ashamed to see him in his state and leaves him to his own devices. Tony remains determined to help Terry out of his drunken depression. In Germany, Andy and Mai try to find Krauser, but learn that he is out of the country. Mai is attacked by Laurence Blood, Krauser's right-hand man, who takes her captive to prevent them from finding Krauser, but she is rescued by Andy.

At a bar, Terry is challenged by Axel Hawk, but Tony ends up fighting Hawk's sparring partner, refusing to give up, despite being badly beaten. Seeing Tony's determination inspires Terry, who regains his confidence and defeats Hawk. Ready to challenge Krauser again, Terry learns that Joe challenged Krauser to get revenge for him, only to lose and be brutally injured with several broken bones. Visiting him at the hospital, Terry learns from Joe and Mai that Andy is waiting for him by their father's grave. There, Andy challenges Terry for the right to fight Krauser, with Terry emerging victorious thanks to a new technique, the Power Geyser.

The next day, Terry challenges Krauser at Stroheim Castle. After a fierce battle, Terry narrowly defeats Krauser, who congratulates Terry and throws himself from a damaged wall to his death. Geese learns of Krauser's defeat and begins plotting his own return. Later, Terry reunites Tony with his mother. Tony promises he will become a great martial artist like Terry someday, and Terry gifts him his cap before departing.

In another part of the country, Terry Bogard meets up with a young boy named Tony who wants to be just like him. Tony witnesses him battle with Kim Kaphwan and asks to be his disciple, but Terry refuses. Later, Terry encounters Krauser and they fight. Terry loses due to his injuries and earlier battle with Kim.

-While fighting against [[Raiden (Fatal Fury)|Big Bear]] (Raiden in disguise) in a fighting tournament in Japan, [[Joe Higashi]] learns from him that Terry lost his recent fight to Krauser. Upon hearing this, he quickly knocks out Big Bear and his fight promoter, who wanted Joe to continue the match and runs out of the arena.{{efn|This scene was cut from the English release, but is presented in Japanese with English subtitles on the Diskotek DVD release.}}
+In Japan, [[Mai Shiranui]] visits the dojo where [[Jubei Yamada]] and [[Andy Bogard]] are training, wanting to see Andy. [[Joe Higashi]] also arrives to inform Andy of Terry's defeat. Later that night, Jubei informs Andy and Joe of Krauser's origins as the "Emperor of Darkness" and heir of the powerful Stroheim family, having scarred Geese and killed his own father as a teenager. Jubei warns them not to get involved, but Andy refuses and leaves with Joe to seek revenge. Jubei asks Mai, who had been eavesdropping, to accompany them.
-Terry wakes up in Tony's home and learns that he was taken care of by Tony's mother. Tony is not present, and Terry leaves at his mother's behest. Later, Tony notices Terry at the train station and asks him to stay, but Terry refuses. He also forbids Tony to go with him because of his mother, but Tony does so anyway without his knowledge. Terry's defeat causes him to start drinking, and ends up being assaulted by street thugs. Tony helps him, determined to help him straighten up so he can prepare for his next fight with Krauser. Terry, however, is so depressed with his defeat that he throws away his fighting gloves.

Tony remains determined to help Terry out of his drunken depression. In Germany, Andy and Mai try to find Krauser, but learn that he is out of the country.

-In Japan, [[Mai Shiranui]] comes to the dojo where [[Jubei Yamada]] and [[Andy Bogard]] live, wanting to see Andy. The meeting ends unfavorably for Andy, because he is clueless of Mai's affections towards him. Joe appears, telling Andy that his brother lost a fight and has gone underground. Later that night, Jubei tells Andy and Joe about Krauser, which Mai eavesdrops on.
+At a bar, Terry is challenged by [[Axel Hawk]], but Tony ends up fighting Hawk's sparring partner, refusing to give up, despite being badly beaten. Seeing Tony's determination inspires Terry, who regains his confidence and defeats Hawk.

Visiting him at the hospital, Terry learns from Joe and Mai that Andy is waiting for him by their father's grave. There, Andy challenges Terry for the right to fight Krauser, with Terry emerging victorious thanks to a new technique, the Power Geyser.
-Krauser comes from a noble family, the House of Stroheim, who act as bodyguards to European royal families, but is a cover, as they have actually overthrown governments and started revolts. The head of the House is thus known as "The Emperor of Darkness" and Krauser is the best the family has produced. Jubei also tells Andy and Joe on his sixteenth birthday that he also killed his own father in a fight to be head of the family. In his mansion, Krauser reminisces about his father, recalling the day he was beaten up by him as a child and when he killed him, feeling nothing after his death. A young Geese is shown to have tried to kill the elder Krauser to avenge his mother. Krauser had thwarted the attempted assassination and slashed Geese with his own knife, giving him the long scar running across his left eye.
+The next day, Terry challenges Krauser at Stroheim Castle. After a fierce battle, Terry narrowly defeats Krauser, who congratulates Terry and throws himself from a damaged wall to his death. Geese learns of Krauser's defeat and begins plotting his own return. Later, Terry reunites Tony with his mother. Tony promises he will become a great martial artist like Terry someday, and Terry gifts him his cap before departing.
-Back at the dojo, Jubei warns Andy and Joe not to get involved with Krauser, but Andy, angered by his brother's defeat, refuses to listen. Jubei thus challenges Andy for leaving the dojo. Andy wins the match and leaves with Joe to seek revenge. Jubei asks Mai to accompany him.

-Terry is challenged by [[Axel Hawk]] and his sparring partner during one of his drinking bouts, with Hawk unconvinced by his drunkenness. Tony ends up fighting Hawk's sparring partner, who reluctantly gives him a working over. During the fight, Terry has a dream of his childhood when he was beaten up and told himself to get stronger so he could avenge his father. A few years after being well trained, he defeated the man who had beaten him up. Awakening, he sees Tony and is reminded of his childhood. Tony is badly beaten, yet never gives up until Hawk's sparring partner refuses to continue. Terry finds out that Tony used his gloves to use his techniques and fight Hawk's partner, and after Tony passes out, Terry puts his gloves and hat back on, challenges Hawk, and wins. He recovers and is eager to take on Krauser again.
