Original subtitles

During a war, a handful of warriors nearly obliterated the Imperial Army.

They were called the Ninku Unit.

The empire was barely able to defeat them,

so they set out to subdue the unit in fear of their powers.

Few even know about the real Ninku anymore.

Are we lost?

Yeah, we're lost.

Yep, we're definitely lost.

Hey, guys! How long do you plan to stand there and grumble?

What else can we do?

We can't find the entrance to Feng Shui Valley!

Touji, shouldn't we have used your Hinden-Flying-Disaster?

No, there's really bad thermal columns here.

It's too dangerous for my Super Hindenburg.

Right! We always run into issues and crash anyway.

We'd burn through any spare lives we've got if we tried to fly through them.

It's a good thing we left our plane with Sekirai and Granny Umechiyo.

You sure that old hag didn't trick us?

Just how ancient is this thing?!

Not only is it old and frail, but important parts are missing!

How are we supposed to make heads or tails of this?!

Well do something, 'cause I'm not walking another step!

Can you read the map?

Hey! Where are you going?

Seems kinda sure of himself.

He's one weird penguin.

I guess it's safer than relying on Mr. No Direction Fuusuke.

Shut it!

There's no point in hanging out here.

Wanna follow him?

Sure.

Upsy-daisy!

What's wrong?

There's a town!

Good going, Hiroyuki!

Yay, you did it!

There's food!

There's baths!

There's shopping!

There's girls!

Okay, once more!

It's terrible!

It's them! They're here!

I'm sure it's them!

Say, isn't this town a little strange?

Yeah...

It's a huge town, but no one's here.

It's not that no one's here. They're just hiding.

Hiding?

Why?

Look out!

Why'd they start shooting?!

Damn it! Is it the Imperial Army?

You jerk! Punk, are you part of the Imperial Army?!

N-No! I'm just a bounty hunter...

Look out!

This is bad! We're completely surrounded.

Who are these guys?!

Look out!

Onii-chan!

Aichou-san! Fuusuke!

Damn, was someone else after them too?!

Yeah, bounty hunters have come in from around the country.

C'mon! After 'em!

They can't steal 'em from us!

I found the woman!

She's one of them! Get her!

Freeze!

It's a dead end...

Wh-What should we do?

She's here.

Huh?

No one's here!

Damn it! Where'd that woman go?!

Jeez, Hiroyuki! I can't believe you threw me.

I hurt my butt!

A moment please, Reiji-san!

Reiji-san!

Reiji-san, hear me out.

The Ninku have infiltrated the town.

Please declare a state of emergency.

Declare an emergency so we can prepare to safely apprehend them.

It'll be too late if you don't hurry!

Please give us our orders.

Bag it! You're bugging me!

Don't bug me with this garbage.

Reiji-san!

Get it together, man!

You're filling in for the mayor while he's away.

I'm not my father!

S-Someone!

W-Wait!

C'mon, let us hide here.

Some bad men are after us.

What's the matter?

What?

We just heard you scream.

I-I did?

We could hear struggling.

Oh, that. I dropped my easel.

Sorry, but it was nothing.

I see, in that case...

Goodbye.

Let me outta here!

Let us go!

What do you think you're doing?!

We're terribly sorry!

What? Weren't you with the Imperial Army?

Why don't you explain what's going on here?

I'm sorry we had to get rough with you, Fuusuke-san, Aichou-san, and Touji-san.

We are members of the anti-Imperial Army organization, Hikari.

Hikari?

It's an underground organization that supports the Ninku

and hopes to rescue the people from the evil Imperial Army.

An underground organization that supports the Ninku?

The majority of us were saved by Ninku during the war.

People may claim the Ninku are evil, but they can't trick us.

The Imperial Army is the real evil!

My big brother was killed by the army.

I see.

Even though the Imperial Army's put you through a lot,

you're still fighting for the sake of the village.

Oh, so that's what this was about.

That'd make everyone here our comrades-in-arms.

Comrades, eh? I love the ring of that, Aichou-kun!

I can feel courage boiling up within me.

Let's get close as a sign of our union.

Punk! Don't be a jerk and grab her!

But we were shot at the moment we entered town.

That's the mayor's doing.

The mayor has put a bounty on your heads.

Fools! Find the Ninku immediately!

Lieutenant Leila will be arriving with her unit soon.

It is of the utmost importance that we offer Lieutenant Leila those Ninku's heads!

Go!

Yes, sir!

Where's that boy Reiji? What's he doing?

Right. He's currently at his studio.

What?!

Thank you for saving me...

She's a cutie!

Did you draw that?

Y-Yeah...

And all of these?

F-Fork them over!

I bet you like her, don't you? Am I right?

Th-That's none of your business!

Now haven't you stayed long enough?

Please go!

I have a good hunch I know who you are.

But I don't like getting dragged into stuff.

Sorry, but please go.

And who do you think I am?

You're friends, aren't you? With those wanted guys.

Reiji, it's me.

Open the door.

Reiji!

What were you doing?

Is someone here?

N-No...

What have you been up to during these hectic times?

Don't you understand why I put bounties on those Ninku?

This is our big chance to catch them.

Do you understand the position I'm in?!

What's wrong, Hiroyuki?

Every damn day you lock yourself in this room and draw!

Do you think this will help you follow in my footsteps?!

Give up on art!

Reiji, you need to keep quiet and do as I say!

D-Dad...

Don't tell me you're...

You're my son. You're my heir!

Get it through your skull!

You're going to take the initiative to form a Ninku search party and lead it!

It reeks...

We're through with quietly tolerating the army's evil!

Now that we've met you, it's time for us to stand up and fight!

Please lend us your strength.

I'm sure we will be victorious with you by our side!

After everything she's said, we can't just turn her down.

All righty! Let's do it!

It's been ages since I was so excited!

No, it's too soon.

I'm really happy that you're willing to help support the Ninku,

but you shouldn't fight an impossible battle.

This era won't continue for much longer.

The good times will come back again.

I want everyone to survive to see that new era.

Fuusuke?

I'm gonna look for Rihoko and Hiroyuki.

Please wait!

It's too dangerous for you with all those bounty hunters in town.

Guys, take Fuusuke and his friends to the underground hideout.

Okay!

I'll go look for Rihoko.

Don't do anything crazy!

Sweet! We caught one!

Oh, it's a chick!

I bet she's friends with those guys.

Perfect! They're still in there!

Damn it! They got away.

The sewers here lead to our underground hideout.

We're almost there.

Get in!

You're—!

You caught a member of that underground organization?

Right! Some bounty hunters brought her in.

A-Akemi?

Reiji!

Is this the girl?

Reiji, you didn't know about this, did you?

No, I...

Hey, buster! Just come out and tell your dad!

You love her, don't you?

If you're a man...

If you're a man, fight for the woman you love!

An anti-Imperial organization, huh?

Because of that, this town is...

Kill me! Even if I'm gone, the organization will live on!

What?

C'mon and kill me!

Kill me already!

Y-You little...

Your courage is most commendable.

Lieutenant Leila!

You've got guts.

It'd be a waste to kill you.

What do you say? Care to work for the army?

I'll talk to Colonel Mekira on your behalf.

I see you're desperate to die.

You will shoot her.

I-I can't!

Take the gun.

Kill her.

You can't! Don't you realize what you're doing?!

Shoot her! Shoot her, Reiji!

Are you going to humiliate me in front of Lieutenant Leila?

Why aren't you listening to me?!

No... No!

I've had enough of this!

I might be wrong...

It might be easier on me if I just did what you said...

But I... I...

I'm not your puppet!

Reiji...

Reiji!

You're doing the right thing.

Reiji, what do you think you'll get out of defying me?

I won't let you control me anymore. Never again!

Nobody move!

Reiji!

Don't move!

Wait!

Reiji...

L-Lieutenant Leila!

Mayor, I hope you haven't forgotten...

...what happens to towns that harbor rebels.

Lieutenant Leila...

It's Leila.

The Ninku have been located at a town north of Mt. Genren.

Really? Very well...

Make sure the Ninku can't escape from town.

I'll head right on over.

Reiji, I'm jealous of you.

After all, you're got a dad who cares the world for you.

I only have a beautiful, kind, good-smelling Mommy.

Huh? I shouldn't brag?

So you noticed!

Next episode: Father and Son!

I wanna see Mommy as soon as I can!
