At any toy shop, just say the secret code…
"You can't get away now!"
"Coming to catch you!"
And you'll receive a special DVD!
This starts tomorrow
in limited quantities.
So please, Tacchan,
I'll be at work, so can you go and get it?
What? I don't think I can…
"You can't get away now!"
"Coming to catch you!"
What? Um…
Say it! "You can't get away now!"
"Coming to catch you!"
"You… can't get away now!"
"Coming to catch you!"
-Again!
-You're not getting away…
Huh?
"You can't get away now."
"Coming to catch you."
"You can't get away now."
"Coming to catch you."
"You can't get away now, we'll tie you…"
You won't find a better price!
Cabbages, 100 yen each!
"You can't get away now."
-"Coming to catch you."
-Cabbages, 100 yen each!
"You can't get away now."
-"Coming to catch you."
-100 yen!
"Coming to…"
One cabbage, please!
Thank you!
You're not getting away…
Oh, Tatsu!
Hey, listen to this.
"Coming to catch…"
-Come here, you punk!
-You're an idiot!
Give me back my money!
Can we have a moment?
Um, I actually need to tie up--
Tie up what?
TOYS A MAS
Excuse me.
Are you…
looking for something in particular?
Oh, no… What was it again?
Why you runnin'?
You wanna get whacked?
What…
No… That's not right.
Wherever you go, I'll find you.
I'll string you up
and chuck you into the ocean.
TREMBLING
SWOOSH
"You can't get away now!"
"Coming to catch you!"
Oh, there we go!
"You can't get away now!"
"Coming to catch you!"
RUSTLE
POLICURE
Thanks for the help earlier.
That was a close one.
No need to thank me.
By the way, did you know?
There's another shop where
if two people say the secret code,
they get a super rare Policure card…
What? A rare card, you say?
Wow, Tacchan, this is amazing!
Sounds interesting.
This time 'round,
do you want to join forces?
Of course. That goes without question.
STRIDE
-Do as we planned.
-Okay.
CUSTOMER SERVICE
Flying high in the sky, Justice Heart!
Sky Police!
Roaring waves, Justice Star!
Cobalt Police!
-Crimecatch Policure!
-Crimecatch Policure!
Those two are crazy.
I… I'm really sorry.
Those items are now sold out.
CRASH
Hey! Stay with me!
Hey! Come on!
The Way of the Househusband!
A friend asked if I could
look after him for a short while.
His name's Kotetsu.
Look at that face.
PANT
-So cute.
-So cute.
Kotetsu.
Come here.
Here, here. Good boy.
PANT
SWISH
CROUCH
YANK
STRETCH
What's up, Kotetsu?
That road has too many cars.
PULL BACK
You've got guts! I like that!
Goddammit.
You're way too cute.
DING
TATSU
SO DAMN CUTE
What's the meaning of this, huh?
Which hood is this dog from?
What happened, Boss?
I need more photos!
Boss replied so quickly.
Kunimi.
The Immortal Tatsu.
SNIFF
SNIFF
-This is awkward.
-This is awkward.
That dog sure is hefty.
Yeah?
And your dog is so round.
-Can I pet it a bit?
-Can I pet it a bit?
This dog gets your attention.
She's big, but she's friendly.
She feels so nice and warm
when you hug her.
Look at these fluffy, round cheeks.
And that sad-looking expression!
Hey, bring the car!
SCREECH
Get in!
VROOM
Hey, Kunimi.
Where are you taking us?
Keep quiet.
I'm taking you somewhere fun.
PANT
A new menu item?
I'd like more young people
and women to visit.
I thought you might have some good ideas.
Good ideas…
It's not on this turf,
but I know a place
that has a mean hustle going on.
This is hurting my eyes.
Are you ready to order?
The Honey Bunny Rainbow Pancakes
for me, please.
Yep, that's Tatsu.
He jumps in fearlessly.
One Fruity Lil' Beauty Milk Sherbet.
Okay, so that's how you roll.
-Will that be all--
-Oh,
-and a Chunky Funky Peach Juice Surprise.
-What?
Where did you find that, Tatsu?
It's right there on the back.
-On the drinks menu.
-What?
Oh, yes.
You can make it a dessert and drink combo.
-Combo, please.
-Combo, please.
So your orders are…
one Honey Bunny Rainbow Pancakes
and Chunky Funky
Peach Juice Surprise combo,
and one Fruity Lil' Beauty Milk Sherbet
and Thick and Dreamy Cream Tea combo.
Also, some plates to share.
Thank you, have a nice day.
That's enough sweet things for a while.
-This is…
-Yes.
A new menu item.
A lemon and honey-marinated
chicken sandwich.
A chicken sandwich, huh?
It's simple and unfussy, like this joint,
but the lemon and honey
add a touch of extra freshness.
CRUNCH
12th grade, winter.
A country town.
A girlfriend going off
to college far away.
You said we should break up,
yet you're the one crying.
BUZZ
A big wasp on her shoulder.
COUGH
Are you okay?
Drink this.
Hot and creamy chai,
another new menu item.
Be careful, it's hot.
Yes.
I was in my twenties.
In India, on a trip to find myself.
The Ganges River.
Brimming with energy
and the vigor of life.
Stimulating, yet mystical,
broadening my perception of life.
DROP, SIZZLE
Then I burn myself.
I'm an old man now.
And I've burnt the inside of my mouth.
Definitely going to sting tomorrow.
Sir?
Thank you, Tatsu.
Those were great dishes.
I'm just going to have
a smoke at the front.
SWING
Did I get the flavors wrong?
CRUNCH
BAM
Wafts of gun smoke. Bullet holes.
My vision stained red with blood.
Miku…
A big wasp on her shoulder.
Huh? Was there a wasp?
Ouch.
My tooth hurts.
Hey, Masa.
Don't tell me…
Is it a cavity?
Oh, crap.
If Boss finds out,
it's right to the dentist.
I don't want to go!
Of course not.
What gave you that idea?
Well, just now,
-you held your cheek and said, "Ouch."
-Oh, that?
I got hurt in a fight yesterday.
There were about 100…
or I guess, 50 people?
You took on 50 people on your own?
I'd say yeah, just from a glance.
Masa.
The longer you leave them,
the bigger they get.
What?
If you're hiding a cavity,
it'll be no joke later.
I'm fine.
I brush my teeth once a day.
Idiot, you think that's enough?
You have to brush your teeth
three times a day after each meal!
Brush for three minutes each time.
And floss afterwards!
Use an electric toothbrush
if that's easier.
Be as thorough as you can.
If you're half-assed about it,
you'll lose your teeth to gum disease.
Do you want to spend
the rest of your days with dentures on?
We're going to the dentist
before it's too late.
Boss…
I don't think I've told you this before,
but there's actually a reason
why I can't go to the dentist.
Once, when I was a child,
my mom, who was normally so strict, said,
"Come with me, Masa,
I'll buy you some sweets."
I got excited and went with her.
She…
led me straight to the dentist.
I was in shock, and I kept thinking,
"How could an adult do such a thing?"
I was…
betrayed…
by my own mother.
What? Is that it?
-No!
-Let go of that!
What's wrong with you?
SMACK
C'mon, be a man!
Okay, then.
I'll go!
KIMURA DENTAL CLINIC
Please help him out somehow!
Um… What happened?
It's a cavity.
Okay, can I have your health insurance
and patient registration card?
Next, please.
-Masa.
-Boss.
I'll be paying my dues now.
Are you okay? You're bleeding.
Masa, don't worry.
WINCE
I'll be joining you soon.
Can you see it?
Peering out of the gap
between the woman's legs
is a man's face.
I see it! That's so scary!
Hmph, that's mere child's play.
So why are you covering your eyes?
TICK TOCK
BREATHES
I can't sleep.
It looks like a face.
Hey, was that door open before?
This isn't good…
Usually, counting something
makes you sleepy…
One yakuza member.
Two yakuza members.
Three yakuza members.
Five yakuza members.
One cop.
Zero Yakuza members.
Eight members of a gang.
Ten members of another gang.
One survivor.
This isn't working.
Oh, yeah, they have
calming nature sounds for sleeping.
There it is.
Forest sounds.
Rustling leaves.
The chirping of birds.
Yakuza digging a hole.
That's not right. Let's change it.
Let's listen to sea sounds.
No…
Goddammit, I can't sleep.
BREATHES
Miku's out cold.
COVER
I have no choice.
Time to get the stash out.
SHOWA DELISH MILK
Before going to bed,
there's nothing better than this.
The milk warms the body
and the calcium calms the nerves.
Now I can sleep.
No.
It's not enough!
Let's take out the stuff
that'll get the job done!
Melatonin.
Serotonin. Tryptophan.
SIZZLE
I can't be half-assed about it!
There we go!
Salmon with creamy walnut sauce
and herb tea!
I've gone and made a whole meal.
Let's try it anyway.
CHOMP
The fatty salmon and the walnut sauce
together is so comforting.
Hmm, I shouldn't really be
eating this before bed.
Ah, I'm feeling sleepy…
CREAK, BANG
BOLT
PLOP
NOW I FEEL BETTER
EPISODE 60
GIN'S WALK PART 4
Hm? What are you looking at?
-I was feeling jealous.
-About what?
Flying in the air sounds nice.
Well, I guess.
It can get pretty tiring though.
Black kites can be scary.
Hey, Crow.
Can you grab me
with your claws and try flying?
No way, that'd be tough.
-My claws would hurt you.
-No, it'll be fine.
Just once.
Okay, but I warned you.
Let's go.
Ouch!
Oh, sorry.
God, that hurt!
Your claws went right in. Ouch!
Am I bleeding?
I only hopped onto you.
Try and grab hold of
the scruff of my neck more.
Yeah, okay.
-Ouch! That hurts!
-Endure it! Just a bit more!
Stop! That's enough!
Enough, I say!
Ouch, that really hurt.
That freaked me out.
What the hell?
What? It's my fault now?
