No subs unfortunately. Short (26:45) edited dvd version of episode 100 (“Fighting Spirit Award Winners Special”) + an (1hr 14min) Extra compilation of Fighting Spirit award winners from other episodes, and some skits.
These were together as one vob on the DVD.
“Fighting Spirit Award Winner” was a (100K Yen (~$1K)) prize given to contestants who either gave their best effort or were highly amusing. Episode 100 is people who earned it previously all being called back together for an episode. The Extra is random people winning the award (at least at the beginning?).

Do you have DVD BOX 2 ?
I already got and watched this before https://nyaa.si/view/1120064

Thank you. This is a blast from the past.
BTW, in 1988 1 USD was ~125 yen. So award is ~800 USD. 3 years prior, in 85, 1 USD was like 250 yen. Of course 32 years ago USD had more buying power too.
If you are into Japanese modern history and economics, https://www.macrotrends.net/2550/dollar-yen-exchange-rate-historical-chart might be an interesting read.

I do not have DVD BOX 2. That torrent you linked is the raw MPEG-2 and AC3 stream from the DVD BOX 1, and that’s literally the source I’m using.
Mind you, that person didn’t know how to rip dvds, and duplicated the streams (so each “DVD” is the same footage twice, once in a single mkv, then split on titles)
