TOKYO POLICE DEPARTMENT PRISON

I don't like this.

What are you talking about?

I said I don't like this.

What did you do with your Mercedes?

A lot has happened...

That Mercedes!

Our Mercedes-Benz!

I've sold it.

You sold it?

I don't like it.

I didn't have any other option.

Why the hell are you driving a car like this?

This is for selling nata de coco.

Started with tapioca, then, nata de coco, tapioca, then nata de coco...

After all, nata de coco is popular now.

Yo bro, tell me what happened.

Okay...

Right after you were imprisoned.

It's been two years.

The other day,

a man named Gizumo who had a third eye and a scar on his forehead

came to our turf.

He never showed himself but made us fight

with other families using a large amount of money from foreign capital.

Then, he destroyed all of our families.

In the end, he chopped off the heads of our boss and their boss.

I haven't seen him myself yet. A mysterious man...

Gizumo, the man with the third eye. I have no idea what he's like.

But I know he's dangerous for sure.

What the hell is that?

Why? What the fuck!?

A lot of things happened whilst you were in prison.

Let's kill that guy with the third eye!

Forget about it! We've don't stand a chance.

Our boss was killed. We've gotta stop living in the past.

I don't like it.

Anyway, there's something else I wanted to talk about, Tatsu.

You're good at cooking?

Yup! Better than anybody else!

I was a champion at the kitchen behind the bar!

We can no longer live shooting guns or swinging knives.

No more assaults!

Put the past behind us,

and let's make people happy with your cooking skills.

I'm thinking about opening a Chinese restaurant with you.

What?

While you were in prison,

the Buddhist goddess on my back appeared in my dreams.

She said I should open up a Chinese restaurant and make some ramen!

Chinese restaurant!

Let's cook some ramen, Tatsu!

What?

A divine message (From the Buddhist goddess!) A divine message (From the Buddhist goddess!)

Let's start something new

A divine message (From the Buddhist goddess!) A divine message (From the Buddhist goddess!)

What can I do?

We used to have knives and guns (Knives and guns!)

That's not the kind of thing You're going to get from now on!

What are you going to shoot? Breasts? Head? (No!)

We gotta get everyone's heart!

Oh, Ramen! (Loved by everyone on the street)

Ramen!

Ramen! (Makes everybody happy)

Ramen!

Ramen! (Ramen!)

Ramen! (Ramen!)

Let's make ramen That everyone wants to eat!

Normal business... huh?

Doesn't it sound good?

We're a little short to open up a restaurant.

What did you do with the money for family members?

I let that guy...

Let's go!

My mother was a whore.

What?

I asked the priest who raised me up to keep the money for me.

We can trust him.

Here is the priest.

Is it Tatsu? Long time no see!

Thank you for everything.

Don't mention it! Our hearts are connected.

No matter what happened,

we all worked together to solve it.

Say hello to your mother in the grave!

Nobody comes.

You know, on a day like this,

we can't expect that many customers.

Maybe you should sell tapioca instead.

I told you, these days people prefer nata de coco.

Bro...

Speaking of our ramen business,

I don't think I can cook good ramen.

You must be hungry. I ordered some food delivery for you.

Thank you for waiting!

Thanks as always.

Sorry for being late. It's really busy at the shop.

- Where do you want me to put the food? - Here!

Enjoy them while they're hot!

This chef makes curry out of the broth from chashu (braised pork belly) ramen,

so that chashu is in this curry, a great combination.

This red pickled ginger is also for ramen.

Isn't it amazing how they make curry?

The chef elaborates on all the dishes.

Hey!

Get me 10 cups of nata de coco juice, with extra nata de coco.

10 cups?

Certainly!

Tatsu, cut the nata de coco into pieces in the back.

Oh, I'll bring this over.

Hey, we're in a hurry. Hurry up!

11 cups!, got it?

Yes!

Hurry up, Mister.

Hey, what's with this beaten-up truck?

Don't forget to put extra cocos!

Yes sir!

What's this?

Hey, it's pretty shaky.

Tatsu! Hurry up!

What the hell is this, how should I cut it?

Tatsu! Are you done already?

Are you listening?

Tatsu! Hurry up!

I know, is this how it's done?

Are you done, Tatsu?

Noodles are getting soggy!

Noodles are getting soggy!

Let me feed you!

What?

Here you go, Tatsu!

Do you like it?

I'll do it!

Ramen!

I'll cook ramen!

I'll do it!

Let's open a Chinese restaurant,

and make it popular!

Glad to hear it.

Hey...

you get the hell out of here.

Let's open a Chinese restaurant!

Good, take this!

Cheers!

This is it.

All furnished by the previous tenant.

Looks nice.

This is good.

The place works with my uniform!

See?

You've got all the tools.

Bro,

what's our top recommendation?

I haven't come up with the idea yet.

Let me try what I have in my mind.

Okay, go ahead!

This is great!

This is-

Never seen a white ramen, yet spicy with chilli pepper, right?

I got the idea whilst I was in prison.

This is amazing Tatsu.

This is it. This is gonna be a popular one!

Booyah!

3 YEARS AGO, 12:24

Don't mess with us, kid!

You've got a nerve coming to our bar without bringing enough money!

I did pay the right cost for the service. You yakuza bastard!

Do you think you can do whatever you want?

I'm gonna fucking kill you, son of a bitch!

Yakuza has to deal in yakuza's way.

Come on, kill me! I'll kick all your yakuza asses!

Alright, let's kill you, yeah?

You outdated yakuza!

Pull the trigger, man!

I'll get my revenge, from hell!

Bring it on!

You crazy son of a bitch!

Damn it!

Damn all you yakuza!

You should all be dead!

I'm different from those who only have two eyes.

We have to conquer.

I have to kill them all.

I'll kill them. I'll kill them. I'll kill them. I'll kill them.

I'll kill them. I'll kill them. I'll kill them. I'll kill them ...

I'll fucking kill them!

THE PRESENT

We wish you a merry Christmas We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

We wish you a merry Christmas We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

I'm making so much money that I don't know what to do with it!

What the hell is going on?

You haven't done enough.

You know we've been beating yakuza a lot lately.

It may be difficult to understand for those whose standard of living is very low.

We need to build a lot more hotels.

A lot more, a lot more, a lot more, and lot more!

We're trying...

Look at this!

I want you to focus on this area!

Yes sir.

We have to rule Japan!

We have to unify Japan!

(These are all Chinese restaurants)

Sayabishi Family Boss, Kanayama Norimasa

Kanto Hayami Family Boss, Hayami Yasuaki Hokkaido Misato Family, Misato Satoshi

Bro! We have a situation!

What's wrong?

We can't accept flowers from antisocial elements.

Customers will get scared.

I'm a little busy with this stuff.

Pick up the marker over there and rewrite it somehow.

What?

Marker?

I'm not good at writing.

Just do whatever you can.

What the hell...

Boss...

Man, people hate yakuza these days...

(Adding extra characters, trying to make them look like ordinary names)

Let's make this look like the flowers came from 3 different people.

Bigger is better...

What's this place?

Huh?

A whorehouse?

No, man!

You look like a pimp.

Me?

No, man.

We were selling nata de coco, but we'll open up a ramen shop.

Ramen shop?

I'm the owner of a ramen shop around here too,

but business is really tough.

What?

Ramen isn't that popular around here.

You're not gonna succeed.

We won't fail!

Yes you will!

We won't!

You fool!

What the hell is wrong with you!?

It feels so good!

Hey, take off your glasses when bathing!

You too!

Yo, Kazu,

Do you wanna open up a ramen shop?

What's with you?

You love ramen, don't you?

Yeah, I like ramen, but...

What are you looking at?

Getting an erection?

Stop looking at my dick, man!

Why are you getting an erection in a public bath?

Why?

Why?

Why does this ramen taste so good?

Just by staring at it

I'm entranced by ramen

Shiny soup

And bamboo shoots next to it

Chashu pork that melts in your mouth

Slightly-wrinkled noodles match Everything in the bowl

Oh, yeah! I can't wait any longer!

I want to drink it all up!

You've got everything in ramen

I love ramen!

It's your favourite restaurant You want to go everyday

Take a bite and you'll start singing and dancing

Pork bone, soy sauce and miso flavours All are delicious

Everyone's got a smile on their face When they finish a bowl

Oh, yeah! I can't wait any longer!

I want to drink it all up!

You've got everything in ramen

I love ramen!

RAMEN GIRL KOKORO

Bro!

We have no customers.

Well,

we've just started, you know.

Hi, welcome!

Excuse me. I'm a YouTuber.

Do you mind if I shoot a video while I'm eating?

No, go ahead!

Please have a seat!

Thank you!

What can I get you?

Well,

what shall I try?

Okay, I'll take that Dragon Ramen combo!

Sure! Dragon Ramen combo!

Yes sir!

Here you go! Dragon Ramen combo!

Thank you very much!

Kamsahamnida!

I'm YouTuber Naruse!

Today, I'm visiting a new restaurant, Dragon Diner.

Let's see what they've got!

This is what I ordered for the day. "Dragon Ramen combo"!

This comes with a chashu pork bowl! Amazing!

What is this? Mapo tofu?

This is white yet spicy!

Let's try the noodles!

Let's put this tofu on rice.

Mmm! It's so good!

The combination of the mapo tofu and chashu pork was excellent.

It's a new sensation. It's like being on the cutting edge.

You rarely have a chance to have so nice a meal in a typical ramen shop.

Thank you!

Chashu pork bowl is ready!

I would say the Dragon Diner is an up-and-comer.

I really enjoyed the meal, and I definitely want to visit again.

- We've been waiting for 30 minutes. - That increases the anticipation!

Thank you.

Thank you.

Bro!

What?

We need to hire someone to help us!

I know. I've been thinking about it too.

We can't lose against them.

Bro...

Yeah?

YouTubers are very influential, aren't they?

You're right,

Kamsahamnida!

Anyway, everyone is enjoying your food. You'd better feel happy.

All thanks to you, bro.

I don't know what would have happened to me

if I'd gone back to the yakuza world,

I would have gone back to jail.

The customers are enjoying my dishes

and they're saying "This is really good."

I'm so overwhelmed.

Bro!

I really appreciate it.

You... Tuber...

What's that?

It must be an alien!

Hey, Kazu.

What?

Stop using that dagger, you're no longer a yakuza.

You'll chop off your finger someday!

This comes in handy.

Were you able to make what I asked?

Yes.

Give it a try!

Can we make profit out of this thick chashu pork?

Anyway, this very thick chashu pork with soup made of thick back fat is good!

This meaningless amount of bean sprouts,

this is it!

I'm not denying this type of ramen, but is it really good?

That's okay. People get addicted to this kind of taste.

You know, it's like being addicted to drugs!

I see...

It was so good!

Just as the rumours said.

- It was really good. - Wasn't it?

I wonder how they make that mapo.

Hey, Kazu!

Huh?

Can you make a special one, a special large one?

What for?

Because, you know, we can't afford to lose to them.

Big one like this!

Volume over quality?

I'm the pointy-eared, big eating idol, Mimi!

BIG EATING IDOL & YOUTUBER, MIMI

Who the hell is she?

Hello everyone in the world.

Allow me to present Mimi, the big eating idol & YouTuber.

Right?

Her nipples are pointy for no reason!

Wow.

A special large bowl!

Oh,

the good smell of animals!

Let's see how it tastes!

I told you to get her a special large size but that's way over large!

I don't think she can finish it.

That girl isn't human.

Hey!

Don't be rude to a lady.

I'm sorry...

No matter how you look at her, she is a human.

Get me another bowl!

Another bowl please!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Another bowl please!

Get out of my way! Move!

Mimi-chan's special super size again! Yay!

Thank you very much!

Get me another bowl!

Get me five more bowls!

Tastes good!

Get me another bowl!

Another bowl please!

Another one! Get me more!

She ain't human.

Ah, I'm sorry!

Let's have some chashu pork!

Hey!

It's been a while, Ryu.

Fuck how long it's been!

You got crushed by Gizumo too.

Why are you setting up shop here?

That's none of your business!

A rival is a rival, even in a non-yakuza world!

Let's see who can make better ramen!

Who makes better one?

I don't give a fuck.

You're using a YouTuber to get ahead of us!

I remember you used to do anything to get ahead of us back in the day.

I'm not talking about the old days!

Let bygones be bygones, you son of a bitch!

What?

What the hell? Are you gonna fight with me?

Hey!

Kazu!

Get me your dagger!

You're going to pay for the bowl you just broke, you bastard!

You never pick a fair fight!

What is a fair fight?

Secret technique! Sprout scattering!

Here you go, extra vegetable, garlic, oil, spicy!

Okay, Here you go.

It's hot. Be careful!

Noodles are ready!

Okay, here you go,

extra vegetable, garlic, oil, spicy!

The Ozawa brothers are a real pain in the ass.

Zin's got a scary look on his face and he's cocky all the time.

Kazu is nervous and skinny. His jaw comes out of place!

Just a few more minutes, please!

We've got no customers here.

Tatsu!

I had a dream last night.

The Buddhist goddess on my back came out.

We'll come up with a new menu item!

Take a look at this!

This is what it is.

Okay.

So I called my trusted fortune teller from Okinawa.

What?

Ryukyu Fortune Teller, Rio

Let's do fortune telling

Let's make them happier

Ryukyu, it's great

Nacha (mainlanders) are always unhappy

Let's see what the crystal says

Let's make them happier

From the east, From the west

Uchinā (Okinawan) goddess Tilla

What do you want me to read?

Master, the thing I asked about over the phone...

Yes, I understand.

Let's see what I can learn.

Good, good! I can see it,

I'm seeing it!

The lord crystal says...

It's red!

Red...

It is red for white.

It's the red of the Japanese flag!

Red!

Yes it is.

That's what we have to do something with, Tatsu!

Bro! What the hell do I have to do with red?

This is the ingredient!

This is it! Yeah, You did it, Tatsu!

Excuse me! May I try this ramen please?

I knew it, this tastes great!

Let me work here!

What?

I'm saying I want to work here! Okay?

Three, two, one, go!

Let's shoot the ramen over Ozawa.

Oh, you've already started eating..

So, Taku-chan! What's the score?

This is no good! I can't eat this!

The score?

0.1

Way too low!

Tastes like shit! These noodles are bad too.

Ozawa's face is scary, the noodles aren't good...

This is awful.

Hey, You!

Are you saying our ramen is scary and my face tastes like shit?

It tastes terribly bad, Ueda! Shoot me over Ozawa!

You keep calling my name. Are you fucking with me?

No, I'm not.

Yes, you are!

What the hell is this ramen?

This is nothing compared with...

Soup is too salty!

Too much bean sprout!

Isn't there anything else other than bean sprouts in this bowl?

- Shall we? - Let's go!

Oh god...

What... what do you want?

Did Ryu send you here for spying?

Come with me!

Let me work here!

Please let me work here!

Give me a job!

Hey, Ryu! You son of a bitch sending a spy like this!

I did no such thing!

Hey!

Tell me who told you to do this!

Kamsahamnida.

See, this guy is telling me you hired him.

Don't you dare mess with non-yakuza!

Ramen, ramen, ramen Let's go!

Ramen, ramen, ramen!

Think about ramen

You two are always fighting

Nothing good will come of it

Are you satisfying customers?

Quit your fighting already Think about making good ramen

Think of serving delicious ramen To your customers!

Ramen, Amen Lala-ramen

We all love it!

Ramen, Amen Lala-ramen

It's going to save the world!

Think how much you love ramen

Let's go!

Ramen, Amen Lala-ramen

We all love it!

Ramen, Amen Lala-ramen

It's going to save the world!

Scary-looking old men, Having a meaningless fight

Nothing good will come of it

Are you satisfying customers?

Love ramen, love ramen Totally love it

Incomplete love is no good (No good!)

Eat Ramen (Delicious Ramen)

Everyone wants peace!

Ramen, Amen Lala-ramen

We all love that!

Ramen, Amen Lala-ramen

It's going to save the world!

The supermarket.

Is it close?

Not that far.

What are you going to buy?

Cigarettes.

What else?

I don't know. Some bean sprouts, carrots...

Carrots, sounds good!

Can you shut your mouth for a second?

Stop it! I told you, I'm not selling this place!

You Japanese really suck!

Do you know what happens when you pick a fight with the Chinese?

Gizumo has come all the way down to get his hand on this land.

Bro, shall we kick his ass?

Wasn't it enough that he crushed our family?

Enough!

They killed my father.

Our house, our shop, all taken away to cover his debt!

That's why my father was...

I can't believe they do that to non-yakuza.

Gizumo is unforgivable.

That's really unacceptable.

I'm sorry about your father.

We were interrupted by some guys from the neighbourhood.

What the hell is wrong with you guys?

They're pretty tough...

Get the job done already! I'm paying you for that!

Yes sir!

Just go!

Go crush those fossils!

Right now!

Done for the day.

Good job.

It feels nice.

What?

We've got a lot of customers.

Yeah,

but this isn't the type of ramen I really want to make.

I don't mind doing this though.

A long time ago, when I went to the city called Yubari in Hokkaido,

I tried this ramen, and the taste still remains in my memory.

This old lady was handling the ramen shop all by herself,

so she could only serve up 4 bowls at a time.

There was always a long line of people waiting.

It's a nostalgic taste, like the ramen my mum used to make for me.

It was there for me.

Now my mum's gone.

I don't know but maybe I'm still looking for that flavour.

One of my good memories, it is.

It's shining!

Tastes good!

Hey,

I'm back!

Are you okay?

What's this ramen?

Yeah, this is...

I don't mind cooking ramen with a heavy taste, but you know,

I want to put my heart into the bowl of ramen, like this.

Put your heart into the bowl?

Come on...

Wake up idiot!

People are addicted to strong flavours. We've gotta make money!

What the hell?

Why the hell did you have to throw my ramen to the ground?

It tastes like shit!

Fuck you. Let me tell you something.

Alright, let's hear you out!

Enough "Make it with a strong flavour, make it with a strong flavour!" you bastard!

What's wrong with a strong flavour? That's all we need!

Isn't that why you have such a thick and heavy face?

You like delicate flavours too much!

You son of a bitch!

Do what I told you.

Yes sir!

I said you keep saying "heavy flavour," because you've got a heavy face!

What's wrong with that?

You look like a chicken bone!

You son of a bitch!

Hey!

Hey!

Where is Mimi?

Huh?

Did she fly away?

Master, where do you think this ornament should go?

North or south, you know.

If you leave it facing north or south, Tilla will show up.

Anyway, do it right away.

Tilla?

Who's Tilla?

Tilla is Tilla.

Put it there right now.

Tatsu, Ryu's really into that fortune telling thing.

Who cares.

By the way, what's this?

This is crawfish tempura ramen!

Tastes good!

All right!

Master, where should I put this one?

Well,

put it in the exit!

The crystal is telling me to put it in the exit!

Mimi has been kidnapped by Gizumo!

- What? - Where?

I don't know, but we have to get her back.

- Let's kick that Gizumo bastard's ass! - How do we know where he is?

I can find out!

Master, please give it a try!

Okay, give me a moment!

Who's she?

She's my master.

What? School teacher or something?

People become insensitive in various ways as they get older.

By the time you reach the age of 60, you may get Alzheimer's or diabetes

and you start having thoughts like, "Why do I want to live any longer?"

That's how they live in this country.

I want to change this country.

We can't leave it to those guys.

I want to take the lead with young people, only with the young people.

That's why we should take money from old people.

That is our way of doing things.

Old people are blights. They're like cockroaches.

It's okay to kill cockroaches.

This woman is our important hostage. Treat her with respect.

I know where she is!

Let me draw a map for you!

What's in it? I can't see them.

Alright!

Let's go!

Yeah!

Excuse me.

I'm the pointy-eared, big eating idol, Mimi!

Mimi Mimi!

I'm starving!

Wow, this looks delicious!

Let's see how it tastes!

Yummy!

This salmon tastes good.

I'm done with this.

Get me another bowl!

Aaahh, a fried chicken bowl!

Let's eat!

Why don't I put rice on the fried chicken!

Done again! Get me another bowl!

Ketchup-based spaghetti! Let's eat!

Done!

She is in the back.

Okay.

Let's go!

Mt. Fuji is erupting!

Let's eat!

Done again!

Man, she ain't human!

Mimi!

Mimi!

Leave this to us!

Can you two go get Mimi?

Go!

Never underestimate what a Chinese chef's knife can do!

Are you a spinning top or what?

You damn kid!

Mimi?

Mimi?

Where are you, Mimi?

Mimi!

Don't you dare underestimate adults!

Well-wrapped damn kids!

It's high here.

Ready?

Set, go!

Stop it!

You son of a bitch! This is for my dad!

She's good!

Need another bowl of ramen?

Spin and wrap yourself up!

Go ahead and wrap yourself up!

We ain't yakuza any more, don't need this...

Right, we're ramen chefs!

Mimi, Rio. Let's go!

I won't forgive you!

Help!

Stop bugging me, you bastards.

Don't do this.

So, you are Gizumo! Finally meet you in person!

What are you, a kid without a dick?

You guys can't do anything about this!

Stop it!

Stop it!

Killing such an inferior citizen doesn't mean anything to me.

You're all scum! There's nothing you can do about it!

All I need is money!

Screw you kiddo!

I'm enrolled in the mutual aid program!

You're nothing but old yakuza!

Come on! Freak!

Hey, who's the old yakuza?

All I need to do is screw money out of you garbage!

I'll end this girl too!

Don't!

With all the money you make, what do you want to eat?

What do you want to eat before you die?

What?

What the hell is that question?

Since I'm a superior citizen,

I shall have a super thick steak, in a super fancy restaurant!

Unlike you inferior citizens!

So what? You suck!

Okay!

(Korean gibberish)

What?

Now!

Are you okay part-timer-girl?

He's good.

This dick is not bad at all!

Aim for the third eye on his forehead!

Eye?

- Let's hit it with our store's curtain pole! - Okay!

Japan can't survive on its own with old people like you!

Go get yourself a money transfer scam or something, you old yakuza!

It's our Japan!

You're all going to die! You bastards!

We've got to rule Japan!

Enough of the clichés.

Listen,

we grown-ups pay way higher tax than you do, stupid kid.

Ruling Japan?

Give me a break, you can't even take control of your dick!

Stop daydreaming!

You won't be able to rule Japan, not even in your dreams!

It's over.

Mimmimi. Shiny Mimi!

I'm telling you, she's an alien!

We've got a ramen party Thanks to the cool owner

It's a hidden flavour of pork bones, chicken bones, boiled eggs, and dried bonito

Go! We gotta ramen rock

Thank you for waiting!

TOKYO DRAGON CHEF NEVER ENDS

NEXT EPISODE TRAILER

One day, the YouTuber Naruse is suddenly turned into a kappa by a UFO!

Then I was wondering what the hell was going on. When I woke up, I was being laid onto a bed, and...

Intergalactic space police is on the trail of a planet-eating jail breaker.

Can she be arrested in one piece?

What is Naruse going to do now that he can only eat cucumbers?

The fortune teller is trying a bald divination on Naruse!

Is it okay for Naruse to stay a kappa? Can you stay like that!, Naruse?

Is tap water acceptable, Naruse?

Dragon Diner's chef is developing a new menu item: Naruse!

Now let's see what happens next! What developments await us?

Kamsahamnida!

Bro,

Mimi is strange. Isn't she?

She said she had a little plastic surgery.

She can't be a normal human.

You're being rude.

She absolutely looks human.

Bro,

I sense the threat of Earth being dominated by her.
