Honnouji Academy
In 1933, the National Socialist German Workers' Party came to power.
Second Year Class A
The year of Chancellor Hitler's birth.
Eventually, Germany's postwar democracy gave rise to fascism.
Excuse me, we're in the middle of a lesson.
I'm on official business!
Y-Yes, Sir!
I'm Gamagoori Ira, Disciplinary Committee Chairman!
Disciplinary Committee Chairman
Gamagoori Ira
Students of Second Year Class A!
We have determined that there is
someone among you who intends to harm Honnouji Academy!
Any excuses will fall on deaf ears! This person will be punished immediately!
You seriously think a tear gas bomb would help you escape?!
Damn it!
One-Star Goku Uniform
So, you actually did steal the One-Star Goku Uniform.
What's the matter? Try it on!
Amazing!
It's as if power is flooding into both my body and spirit!
T-This light, it's—
M-My body is moving incredibly fast!
Of course! That's the power of the Goku Uniform!
All right, then! Eat this!
My uniform, however... is a Three-Star!
An attack from a lowly One-Star won't even touch me!
What were you planning, stealing a Goku Uniform?!
You must be a spy from Kobe!
It's such a waste on the likes of you!
You aren't cut out for a Goku Uniform.
Take it off!
Listen up, students of Honnouji Academy!
As long as Gamagoori Ira draws breath, this academy's rules will stand firm!
The ironclad rules created by Student Council President Kiryuin Satsuki!
Lady Satsuki...
Students!
Salute our student council president, Kiryuin Satsuki!
Student Council President
Kiryuin Satsuki
Fear is freedom! Subjugation is liberation!
Contradiction is truth! These are the truths of the world!
You will surrender to the truth, pigs in human clothing!
The Next Day
Honnouji Academy
Transfer Student
Matoi Ryuko
So this is it...
Honnouji Academy!
Episode 1 If Only I Had Thorns Like a Thistle
Whoa, sorry!
Piece of cake!
I coulda sworn I grabbed her wallet!
You're pretty talented, stealing a lemon someone else had just started eating.
Are you that desperate for an indirect kiss?
Bitch, don't try to be all witty! I've had my first kiss already!
Then I guess you don't have any regrets.
That's my line, lady. Come on out, guys!
You've insulted the great Lightning Speed Mataro.
Honnou Town Blind Alley is my turf. This is my neighborhood!
It's a feared hangout for drifters and a dead end for the living.
If you want to go home in one piece, drop your wallet and leave.
Come on, what's with the anachronistic street punk routine?
I thought this town was weird,
but I guess the people who live here are nuts, too.
Fine then.
It's my policy to finish what I start.
Come at me.
Get her!
Please excuse us!
What the hell?
We're really weak against strong people!
It's our only strength.
I just can't bring myself to beat up somebody who's bowing.
I guess I'll let it slide this time.
Hey!
Out shaking people down at the crack of dawn again, I see!
Oh no! It's my big sister!
You can't get away!
How many times do I have to tell you to stop mugging people and get your butt to school?!
I'm sorry! I'm going, I'm going, I'm going!
Dumbass, I ain't got time for no compulsory education! No way, bitch!
That little jerk!
Oh, I'm sorry! Are you—
Oh, no! I'm late, I'm late!
Let me on, please let me on!
I'm on, I got on!
What on earth
is wrong with these people?
Honnouji Academy
"Here hangs a naked pig who dared to defy Honnouji Academy."
"As such, justice was dealt," eh?
The city's dangerous, but the school is just as bad, I see.
Interesting.
Something tells me I'll find some leads here.
This is Matoi Ryuko, who has transferred to our class today.
Matoi Ryuko
Ryuko! Ryuko!
Over here, over here! This desk is free!
Oh.
Suzuki used to sit here, but he was
You know each other?
I wouldn't say that we're acquaintances exactly...
killed by the student council yesterday, so it's open now!
Well, that's how Mankanshoku is. That'll be your seat, then.
I can't believe you're gonna sit next to me!
Want it? Don't want it? Want it? Don't want it?
I'm Mankanshoku Mako!
Mankanshoku Mako
Well, I'll be! You're a transfer student, huh? Nice to meet you!
The boy you said was killed by the student council, was that him out front?
Right, right!
That kinda thing happens all the time, so don't worry about it!
All right, let's begin the lesson.
With the Nazi rise to power, Germany became—
She's already asleep!
Ryuko!
Aw, why'd you dodge?!
Isn't it normal to dodge something that comes flying at you from out of nowhere?
I was just giving my new bestie a hug!
Bestie?
We sit together, so let's try to get along, okay?
That reminds me, do you play guitar?
Play it! Come on, play! I'll sing!
I sing a song of skipping town... I sing a song of going to ground...
Calm down!
I want to ask you something.
Who's the top dog at this school?
Why, that's—
Watch out, Ryuko! Bow! Bow!
Is he a bigshot?
Yeah, he's a Three-Star!
Three-Star?
Yep.
That's Disciplinary Committee Chairman,
Gamagoori Ira, one of the Four Elites of the Student Council.
Compared to the Starless peasant students like us,
he's a super elite who's three whole ranks above us!
Starless?
Right. Our school uniforms have amazing powers,
and it's just incredible when you wear one.
Starless
They give you superhuman power.
They're called Goku Uniforms and they run from One-Star to Three.
One-Star
Student Council President Kiryuin Satsuki
Two-Star
Three-Star
bestows Goku Uniforms to students based on their ability.
Student Council President
Long story short, they're awesome! Got all that?
So in other words, the top dog here is the student council president?
Right, right!
Ah, speak of the devil! That's Lady Satsuki there!
Kiryuin Satsuki
So, I hear you're the queen bee here.
I have a question for you.
Bitch! How dare you?
A huge—
Pair of scissors?
Half a scissors?
It's a huge scissor!
That's right.
This is half of a giant pair of scissors.
I'm looking for the owner of the other half.
I noticed that you were shocked to see this just now, Ma'am.
You've seen it before, haven't you?
You've seen my Scissor Blade!
And what if I have?
With such an attitude...
You're the Woman with the Scissor Blade, aren't you?!
Tek
Ken
Fun
Sai
Fukuroda, eh?
Yes, Ma'am. Boxing Club Captain Fukuroda Takaharu.
Fukuroda Takaharu
Permit me to finish off this insolent wench!
She is yours.
Stand aside, you bastards!
Your glove is made of iron?
Don't you even know your uniforms?
You're not even wearing a uniform!
The only uniform a boxer needs are gloves and trunks!
As well as the athleticism-augmenting
Athleticism-Augmenting Two-Star Goku Uniform
Two-Star Goku Uniform given to me by Lady Satsuki!
Imbue even ordinary gloves
with the power of a Goku Uniform,
and they'll be as strong as steel!
I don't know what you're talking about,
but if they're made of iron, I guess I won't be pulling any punches either.
You tryin' to be funny?!
Don't you dare slight me!
Have a left jab that rules the world!
And a left hook! And then a right upper!
I thought you might prove slightly amusing,
but you're just a fool who has no idea how to wield that scissor properly.
How dull.
Not so fast!
You do know something, don't you?!
Mind your tongue!
You're nowhere near worthy of addressing Lady Satsuki directly!
Confiscate the scissor.
Yes, ma'am!
No! This is one thing I'll never hand over!
Never!
You thought a telegraphed attack like that would land?
Don't underestimate a boxer!
Perfect!
Ryuko! You're leaving already?
Sorry, but I need to borrow your bike!
Jerk! What about my deliveries?!
Damn it... At least she knows how to run away.
You!
Stupid fool!
I have no excuses to offer.
Not only did you allow the transfer student who mocked Lady Satsuki to escape,
you failed to confiscate the scissor as ordered!
Disciplinary Committee Chairman Gamagoori Ira
Mistakes made by the club you run are your mistakes, Sanageyama!
That's why I'm the one disciplining him!
And if that's true, the Disciplinary Committee should take the heat
for allowing Lady Satsuki to be mocked, Gamagoori.
Athletic Committee Chairman Sanageyama Uzu
I've collected some intel on her.
She's been starting quarrels in the eastern Kanto region at high schools subjugated by the Honnouji Academy.
Information and Strategy Committee Chairman Inumuta Houka
Apparently, these fights were on an individual level,
so they never sent word.
Such negligence...
Inform all branch high school principals to remain on guard.
My apologies.
Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up.
Non-Athletic Committee Chairwoman Jakazure Nonon
Still though, I was shocked to see that her scissor could cut a Goku Uniform.
Why is that, Lady Satsuki?
It's a special weapon that was developed to combat Goku Uniforms.
What is a transfer student doing with such a thing?
Her name is...
Matoi Ryuko.
Matoi, eh?
As I thought...
Matoi Isshin Ryuko
Father...
I'm sorry, Father.
When the identity of your killer was finally within my reach...
If only I had more power!
The rest is up to you,
Matoi Ryuko.
Ow...
I had no idea something like this was under the house...
I reopened the wound from earlier, huh?
I should get out of here.
Wait... More.
Give me more.
Who's there?!
More... I need more...
Give me more... More!
What?
A-A uniform?
Wha—
Don't go! Put me on!
What are you? A pervert?!
Wear me! And feed me blood!
I don't wanna go back to sleep!
The uniform? The uniform is talking?
Don't be scared!
Waste less time being scared and wear me!
I knew it, the uniform is talking!
Don't sweat the little details!
This is serious! Since when do uniforms talk?!
Quit bitching!
All right, I'll make you wear me by force!
Stop it!
That's better! I fit you perfectly!
Stop it!
Transfer student, can you hear me?
One hour from now, your best friend will be executed!
For your crime of treason against Honnouji Academy, she is guilty by association!
If you want to stop it, quit hiding and show yourself!
Sincerest apologies for borrowing without permission
The student council members are animals, Sir.
You should mind your own business.
President Kiryuin's mother is the chairwoman of our academy's board of directors.
Lady Satsuki is Honnouji Academy's lord and master.
We're all nothing more than her hired underlings.
Using a hostage is a classic strategy.
If I fail again, my Goku Uniform will be confiscated.
Mankanshoku here is the only person the transfer student spoke to.
She's my only chance.
So you're dead set on this.
All right, show me the power of a man's resolve!
I'm in serious trouble!
Everyone can see my panties, plain as day!
I'm not even wearing the sexy ones today!
Bring out the boiler!
Look!
A shrimp!
It's a shrimp!
Fried shrimp!
It turned into fried shrimp!
Hey, that's oil!
If I get that much oil on it,
my uniform's gonna go totally see-through!
I'm in real trouble here!
This one has resolve, too. That, or she's an idiot.
Hang in there, Sis—
Ryuko!
Hold on tight!
Ow!
That's hot!
So you've come, transfer student!
Using a hostage is playing dirty.
I thought you were a boxer.
If you are, then let's settle this one on one!
I don't recall recruiting you as a club member, but as you wish!
I'm gonna haze you like a newbie!
How do you like this?
The squared circle is overflowing with a flood of left jabs!
And he moves into a right straight!
But it's really a corkscrew!
Tek! Ken! Fun! Sai!
Wh-Wh-Wha—
What the hell are you wearing?!
Quit gawking!
Y-You're trying to distract me with your body!
I don't want to wear this thing, honest!
How dare you! You're mocking boxing!
No, all sports!
I am not!
All right, then. In that case, I'll take the liberty of undressing, too.
Hey! Now you're the one mocking it!
I'll take off the soft gloves that I had been wearing for my away bouts.
What?!
Behold! These are the real Honnouji Academy Boxing Club
Honnouji Academy Boxing Club Athleticism-Augmenting Two-Star Gloves
athleticism-augmenting Two-Star gloves!
If I didn't wrap them, students from other schools would be too scared to fight me!
But having them out for all to see like this fills me
with even more strength!
This is a Goku Uniform!
Even a boxing amateur like me can see that something like that is illegal.
But still... You're on.
I dunno what you were hiding in the cloak,
but now that you're half-naked,
I'm gonna rip what little fabric remains to shreds and send you flying!
Wh-What?!
My glove!
Your glove isn't the only thing that turns into steel!
So does my uniform!
Impossible! Impossible! Impossible!
I can't feel a single punch!
What?! What's with that get-up?
She has a Goku Uniform, too?!
Oh, wow!
I didn't know you were a boxer, Ryuko!
Pretty sure she's not.
This is awesome, lady!
Totally awesome! And what a view!
Is it my turn yet, or what?!
Left jab!
Right hook!
And then an uppercut!
And then a right straight to finish you off!
Fiber Lost
Impossible!
A Goku Uniform...
...was defeated?
So that's the power of the Scissor Blade, eh?
No, there's more to it than that.
Now to finish you off!
How dare you?!
Enough.
You there.
Where did you get your hands on that outfit?
This is a keepsake from my father.
What?
And this Scissor Blade was left behind
by the person who killed him.
Now you're going to tell me
who this Scissor Blade belongs to,
Kiryuin Satsuki!
My whole life used to be guided by others
I will shed those days and run barefoot
I might fall, I might make mistakes,
but I will brush away the pain to make way for my tomorrow
The oath my raised hands bring to the world
will be my guiding light
One day it will shine for you too
Until then,
I have no time to spend crying
My burning feelings are hidden no longer
and light the night sky
I feel like I understand why I was born now
With my own hands I will grant
all my wishes
