I didn't think you'd agree.
But you want to wear a wedding dress, and I get that.
Makimura Kaori-san is brain dead.
He might still be looking for Kaori's heart.
Code name Glass Heart.
She's one of the top assassins in the organization.
X Y Z.
I've been waiting for you.
For you, who's living with Kaori's heart.
I haven't heard her request yet.
I hope I will someday.
Holly-san has the flu?
She does.
She has to stay put for a week.
We had to shut down the shop for now.
Mocchie went back home to Okinawa to take advantage of the break.
So now I'm bored as hell.
Now that you mention it, Mocchie does have an Okinawan face.
Wakey, wakey, time for shavey!
Man, that shop clerk, though.
A lady's putting on so much sunscreen.
Who you calling the kid from Ju-on?!
Oh?
Stud-dar activated.
Locked on!
I want to see that gentleman's deep fried doughnuts.
Oh, my! Look at his body!
I have to see his sugar cane!
It's the Uji farms!
I know, right?
She said she was going to watch a comedy show her juniors at school are setting up.
No fair!
What's comedy?
Comedy is...
Xiang Ying-chan, girls these days need to know what comedy is.
You need a broad education.
Is that true?
It's not educational.
Mocchie became the exemplary sista she is now
by honing her comedy skills ever since she was a student.
Exemplary sista?
Oh, all right.
I have some time to spare; I'll teach you.
First, go watch some shows.
There are some good stages in the neighborhood.
Let's go to the—
Hang on.
I'll go if Xiang Ying is going.
Oh, Xin-Hong-kun, you could have said you wanted to go on a date with me!
It's not like that.
Okay.
In that case, Xiang Ying, give us a second.
No, no, no!
Let's go to the hotel!
No way! I can't!
Hello.
Yo, Saeko.
Here for lunch?
I just happened to be in the neighborhood.
Can you believe it?
I get to go on a drive-and-lunch date alone with the chief.
I only asked for you to drive me to the chiefs' meeting.
A Napolitan and two coffees, please.
Coming.
Falcon.
Miki.
Here, for you.
What's this?
Is this me and Umibozu-san?
Yup.
We had to draw something about Christmas and family at school.
Christmas and family?
Am I family, too?
Yup.
Yay!
You're my kid brother, Xin-Hong.
Kid brother, huh?
Whatever.
Wait, so what about Umibozu-san?
Duh, Falcon's Dad.
Yay! Yay!
Miki!
Thank you!
You're my precious family.
Family!
Miki-chan, Xin-Hong, and Xiang Ying all smile so much now.
It's hard to believe they're the same people we first met.
I know.
You cry way too much, Umibozu.
I'm man-crying!
Hey, I want to have a Christmas party.
Class ends on December 25th, so how about after that?
Yes, yes!
I'm in.
Me, too.
Yay!
Totally!
My chance!
Speaking of Christmas, Chief, what are you doing on Christmas Eve?
What do you say, the two of us...
The two of us...
Eve?
It's the year-end party at the station.
Komiyama, you're coming, too.
Even on Christmas Eve?
Of course.
Oh, dear. A year-end party on Christmas Eve?
Grown-ups have a thing called office meetings,
and they're more important than dating.
Seriously?
Look at the time.
Let's go.
Thank you.
Okay.
Thank you.
I don't think Komiyama's ever getting married.
Jackpot! Super-hot mokkori girl!
Huh? What?
The northern wind is cold today.
What do you want?
Ryo-chan here can give you a warm treatment.
Treatment? What?
Creep.
Why?
Go away, pervert.
You don't have to be shy.
You're awful.
Xiang Ying.
What's up?
Nothing.
Damn, she was cute.
Family.
I'm kind of like Xiang Ying's dad.
Kaori.
What should I do?
How do I express these feelings?
Carlito.
Xiang Ying-san.
Let go of her.
Then come with me peaceably, Glass Heart.
No.
No, if Ryo loses you, he'll...
Thank you for everything.
Tomo, call Ryo.
Right.
I see.
Good work.
Doc.
Ryo-san.
Sorry.
Xiang Ying's been abducted by Legion?
Yeah.
By Carlito.
We have to save her quickly.
They'll kill her.
They would have killed her immediately if that's what they wanted to do.
But Carlito knocked her out before he took her.
It's not her life that they're after.
At least, they won't kill her immediately.
Then Xiang Ying's still alive.
That's impossible.
Death to traitors.
That's the rule at Legion.
Then what do they want from her?
It doesn't matter, we have to go help her.
Calm down a little.
We don't even know where she's been taken.
What do you propose we do?
Xin-Hong, how many strongholds does the organization have in Tokyo?
They didn't abduct just any other amateur.
Xiang Ying is a professional.
Carlito knows it's dangerous to carry her around for long.
If she's being held somewhere, it can't be far.
I've heard there are several.
I know of four.
But I don't know which of those she's at.
How many forces do they have nearby?
They have fifteen to twenty platoon-sized units in the Tokyo area.
A little less than a thousand men.
Yes.
But Carlito isn't the only skilled assassin.
We can't know how many of them are deployed for Xiang Ying.
Ryo.
Let's give up.
Not even you could win against Legion in a straight-up fight.
They have tens of thousands of members across the world.
They're an international crime syndicate.
Please.
I don't want to lose any more people dear to me.
Hang on a second.
Are you telling us to leave Xiang Ying for dead?
What else can we do?
Are you telling me we have enough people to fight Legion?
Besides, if we got involved with Legion and the fight got out,
Tokyo will become a bloodbath.
We can't protect the tens of thousands of people moving in and out of the city.
It's impossible.
I want to help Xiang Ying, no matter what the cost.
I'm a cop.
I won't allow it.
Calm down, both of you.
But!
Listen!
You're right.
We'd just be wasting time if we acted all willy-nilly.
First, let's gather some information.
Saeko.
Kaori wanted to protect this town.
I won't let them hurt it.
You'll do that by yourself?
I promise to take Xiang Ying back safely.
Onii-chan.
Are you awake?
Why don't you kill me?
Organization's orders.
Are you Glass Heart?
We finally meet.
Who are you?
Silence.
His name is Li, President of Legion.
That's enough.
Put down your knife.
It's been three months since you left the organization, has it?
How did you feel living outside?
Did you enjoy some freedom?
What is this charade?
Why don't you terminate me?
Because you can be useful.
What do you say?
Would you come back to the organization?
I won't kill any more people.
This is a surprise.
You've been taught to kill since you were a child.
That's all you lived for.
And now you say you won't kill.
Yeah.
Saeba Ryo?
How was he able to change you so?
Someone like you would never understand.
I see.
That's a fair point.
Well, let's wait until you change your mind.
I'd rather not kill someone as distinguished as yourself.
Besides, to you, being tied here would be even more painful.
Keep her under surveillance.
Do we not terminate her?
Killing her would be easy.
But she's still useful.
Sir.
Xiang Ying.
My name.
So I guess today's your birthday, then.
Congratulations, Xiang Ying.
I want to live this life Kaori gave me to my fullest.
For myself and for others.
I'm going to take on Kaori's will and join City Hunter.
Wait.
It's settled.
I'm doing it.
You're going to live life to the fullest, aren't you?
For Kaori's part, too.
I didn't want to lose the one I loved
for a second time.
Me, neither.
Please be safe.
I've gathered the captains.
Have you?
Listen.
There's no telling when Saeba Ryo and his people will come to take back Glass Heart.
The quad troops will stand guard at the center of this building.
If you find them, chase them to the depths of hell.
Understood.
All other troops will be ready for battle the moment they infiltrate the building.
Prepare your men.
Protect President Li at all costs.
Sir.
Dismissed.
Are you going?
Yeah.
I know where Xiang Ying is.
Chief!
Come quick.
Who are these men in black?
Coming through.
These people have been wandering around ever since this morning.
It looks like they're hiding firearms in their clothes.
We'll form a suppression team and order nearby units to the scene immediately.
Wait.
But if something were to happen to the civilians...
What if they really had guns?
Are you trying to start a firefight all across town?
How many people do you think will end up victims?
But...
Bastard.
He noticed the security camera.
I knew it.
What the hell is he thinking?
It's a warning.
He's threatening to kill bystanders if we mess up.
Let's shut down the Kabukicho perimeter.
Storm the area and neutralize them.
That's our only option.
They'll shoot bystanders before we even get there.
But...
Isn't there any way out of this?
Hello?
Hey, can you see me, Saeko?
It's Ryo-chan from Shinjuku.
Ryo.
Looks like you're in quite the pickle.
"Isn't there someone who can take care of this situation?"
"What about him?"
"Maybe I can make a request to him!"
Did I nail it?
Chief, what does he mean by "request"?
I'm up for it.
You know what to say.
Saeko.
X Y Z.
Sweet, gotcha.
This here Shinjuku and all my buddies— Ryo-chan here's going to protect you all.
All right, then, tonight at six, at Shinjuku District Three,
"Kagome kagome" mokkori kapow!
Mokkori kapow?
Chief, why would he act like that right now?
Be calm.
Tonight at six, lock down all of Shinjuku District Three.
He'll round them up there.
Sato, call for a sortie.
Deploy in that area.
This is absolutely top secret.
Get on it.
Sir.
Oh, it was a secret message.
"District Three, Kagome Kagome" was "Corner them, corner them at District Three."
Surround them!
Huh?
Then what does "mokkori kapow" mean?
Komiyama, hold down the fort.
I'll be right back.
Right.
Wait.
Chief.
You won't kill anymore?
You think that's really possible?
Yeah.
If I'm ever put in a position to kill someone, I'll end my own life first.
Is this his influence?
It's not just Ryo.
Kaori.
The city of Shinjuku.
It's thanks to all the people and things I've seen in the past three months.
Why do you obsess with them so?
To me, they're like family.
You have no family.
Neither do you.
Am I wrong?
I had a sister eight years younger than me.
Our parents died, and with nowhere to go, we were taken up by the organization.
My only family.
I decided I'd take my parents' place and protect my sister with my life.
In exchange for my contributions to the organization,
my sister was allowed to leave the organization and leave in peace.
Following the agreement with the executives...
Onii-chan.
Are you okay?
Hang in there.
Hey.
Hang in there.
She was killed.
By a bomb set by an enemy organization.
What did my sister do?
She hadn't hurt a single person.
I cursed the world.
I cursed fate.
And I took down every single bastard that had
a hand in my sister's death with these hands.
Yet my rage isn't quelled.
No one can stop me.
That doesn't mean it's right to hurt other people.
Shut up!
What would you know?
That whole time I was harvesting sugar canes at the southern paradise,
Xiang Ying was being abducted by Legion!
I have to hurry.
But...
Legion's scary.
They might kill me.
I can't.
Xiang Ying, I'm sorry.
I'm scared for my life.
My own safety comes first.
Hang on!
What?
Were you always like that?
No, I'm a good, caring girl.
Then you know what you have to do, don't you?
No.
You do.
No.
Say it.
I won't.
Say it!
I want to help Xiang Ying!
Wait.
You.
Makimura Kaori?
Despair.
It's not just anger.
I see a shadow of despair and grief in your eyes.
What is your problem?
Don't look at me with those eyes.
Your sister's death cast you into the depths of sadness.
What would you know?
My brother—my family—was killed.
So I understand your pain a little bit.
But letting your anger and sadness drive you to revenge
and murder won't bring back what you've lost.
You're only spreading sadness.
That's obvious.
I've already lost my sister.
My feelings will remain so long as I live.
My fight will never end.
There's just one answer.
Put your life on the line to quell those emotions.
No matter how painful or agonizing, accept it all and move forward.
Otherwise your fight will never end.
End your cycle of revenge and despair, of washing blood with blood.
If you're capable of killing people,
you're also capable of
helping people.
Shut up.
I can do no such thing.
You can.
You're still alive.
I said shut up.
Shall I seal your mouth shut?
You can change.
Xin-Hong.
Right.
Bai-Lan has given us information on the location of Legion's Tokyo headquarters.
Xiang Ying is there.
Let's say we manage to take back Xiang Ying.
So long as we've had a part in it, Legion may retaliate.
Anyone who cowers will not take a cup.
We won't force you.
Think it over carefully.
Are you all right?
Of course.
It's for Xiang Ying.
Holly-neesan's fighting the influenza virus.
Mocchie's headed this way.
We might not be useful, but we're tougher than we look.
Please come back.
Yeah.
You, too, Xin-Hong.
Yeah.
I promise we'll be back with Xiang Ying.
Saeko.
How dare you leave me behind while you all act like badasses.
There's a fight that only I can take part in.
I'll fight with you.
Here's yours.
Thanks.
And Kaori-chan's.
All right, let's go.
Let's go get Xiang Ying.
Squad B here, designated area cleared of civilians.
Squad C here, civilians evacuated.
Squad A deployed.
Okay.
Let's go over the mission plan.
We have information that there are men wandering around with firearms
and explosives in the Shinjuku District Three area.
However, our top priority is to avoid civilian casualties.
Wait until I give my order, even if you hear gunshots or explosions.
Got it?
Roger.
Ryo, we're in position.
Got it.
No matter what happens, I won't let the people of this city get hurt.
I swear on my pride as a police officer.
I can always count on you, Saeko.
He could end up dead.
What a goof.
Chief.
Ryo, are you trying to protect not just Kaori-san and Xiang Ying
but everyone in this town?
You're risking your life, and you're still your usual self.
This might even be our last conversation.
You idiot.
Well then, let's go.
Respond swiftly.
Understood?
Sir.
Captain!
Hi, I'm Ryo-chan.
You!
Over here.
After him!
Oh, boy! Oh, boy!
He's here!
Whoa, mokkori beauty ahoy!
Totally my type!
Oh, come on, so many of you bums.
Let's dance again next time.
Get him!
Umi-chan, I'm here.
No, don't look at me, you idiot!
Behind you!
Tag, you're it.
Prepare for emergency sortie.
Alert level 5.
Defense squads to your positions.
Battle squads to the expected infiltration areas.
Here they come.
I'll take it from here.
You two go ahead.
Are you going to be all right?
Don't underestimate me.
I can deal with these small fry even with my bad eyes.
Have fun.
Oh, yeah.
Watch the shop for me next week.
I know.
You have a Christmas party with Miki-chan.
Let's go.
Don't let your guard down just because you have my six.
Front or back, it doesn't matter to me!
What's going on?
This is going to be a pain in the butt.
Saeba-san, you go ahead.
Please take care of Xiang Ying.
I'll ask her what she wants for Christmas.
There, there.
This isn't personal,
but I have someone dear to me I want back.
Xiang Ying.
This show is a work of fiction.
Preview
The Shocking Finale
I suppose this, too, is fate.
I'm kind of like Xiang Ying's dad.
A family bond is tested.
Family.
Kaori wanted to protect this town.
Saving the city's last hope.
I won't let them hurt it.
