Destroy!
Come and get it!
You're going down, Iceman!
Princess?
Oh, no! Princess Flora is—
Princess!
Princess Flora!
Princess!
Flora, go well.
And observe well.
See what becomes of the premonition you felt.
Something is going to be born!
BASQUASH!

Good!
It'll be a three-on-three.
One match to decide it all.
There we go!
Goal! The win goes to The Worst!
Worst, worst! We are The Worst!
So I believe we can expect this year's take from Grepa District...?
Yeah, we know. It's yours. See ya!
A toast to those who came before us.
Beautifully done!
You three are very talented.
Who the hell are you?
How dare you sit on my machine?!
Don't get hung up on these things.
A moon woman, huh? What's your business here?
You three want to play a game?
Let's see who's the best in this town.
What?
We, The Worst, are the best!
Your opponents are Sela D. Miranda, Iceman Hottie,
and Dunk Mask.
Looks like that piqued your interest.
I'm the captivating promoter Haruka Gracia.
I promote both beauty and matches.
But a gal travelin' alone?
Is Rollingtown that great of a place?
That's what I want... to find out...
Destroy, destroy!
One more! One more!
Is that your whole strategy?!
Not quite!
My real aim...
...is this!
Come on! Now we're really gonna get started!
Okay, okay, okay, retreat!
They'll haul you away!
What? You're kidding!
Things were just getting started!
I'll arrange another opportunity for you, so hurry up and get out of here!
Hey, Dan!
Wait up, you guys!
If you don't get moving, they'll catch you again!
This match isn't over!
Why, you—
Shall I say it again?
Quit stalling and do as I tell you!
Dammit! That woman!
Man you're so noisy.
How many days in a row is this?
Ten.
Every morning you've woken us up yelling "That woman!" How about you cut that out?
Shut up!
It's her fault for pouring cold water on things right when we were all ready to go.
She did it because the police were coming, right?
You should be glad you didn't get tossed in the slammer again!
Dammit.
It was just about to start.
As I'm sure you are aware...
...this is a meeting to re-evaluate our strategy.
Because of your influence, streetball played with Bigfoots is sprouting up all over the place.
They've already established local rules.
The basics are no different from BFB, except for the extent of rough play permitted...
For example, body shots against your opponents.
Moves that result in injury to another player are fine so long as there's a play for the ball.
And obviously, things like running on rooftops or bouncing the ball off walls are approved.
Copycatting me, huh?
Yep.
And not just Dan.
Sela and Iceman are respected as the living examples of street.
I ain't requested for nothing.
Idiot.
Respected. But that's merely for all the ground you've broken in the past.
Right now, they're two or three steps ahead of you.
And the reason is that they are actually playing matches and developing the game,
whereas you three are not playing.
Before we play anything, we have a showdown!
That score still hasn't been settled yet!
Why get hung up on a petty little showdown like that?
Petty?! It's not a petty little showdown! It's—
Do as I tell you!
You three will play matches!
Interesting matches that will get anyone who's watching fired up!
If you really want a showdown with those two, you can do it whenever.
If I wanted to.
Whoa! Bigfoots can turn into cars?!
Well then, wait like a good boy.
I'll arrange an even better match for you.
Hey! Where the hell are you taking my Dangan?
It's getting some tune-ups before the match!
Sela's and Iceman's too, of course!
What's a toon dump?
What's this "Dangan" thing?
That blasted Haruka took Dangan away!
Like I said, what's this "Dangan" thing?
But anyway, she took Gramps with her too, so they are probably getting tuned up...
My Dangan doesn't need a toon gunk!
If you want a showdown that bad, why don't you just do it with plain basketball?
Dumbass! I already tried that!
C'mon, wait up!
We got a showdown! Let's play!
Wait up, dammit!
Pay or play, Iceman Hottie!
No thanks.
Why not?!
You want to settle it as much as I do, right?
Nope.
No need to be so blunt!
It was settled for me the night you used your move on me.
Probably.
Huh? What are you talking about?
The style you showed me...
If it was three-on-three, that would blaze into a match so big, fierce, and beautiful that BFB wouldn't even compare.
Better, it ought to make an actual game.
H-Hey!
You were right there doing it; didn't you feel anything?
Dan JD.
For now, let's leave it in Miss Haruka's hands.
...is what he said!
Haruka must've gotten to all of them first!
I don't think that necessarily means...
Oh! A customer!
Yes, yes, yes! Welco—
Dunk Mask.
Is he here?
What did you say?!
Your Majesty, you aided your younger sister?
Yes. I told Flora of a way out of the Palace.
How could this be...
There is no need for concern.
Despite Flora's appearance, she is quite adept at fending for herself.
No bites...
So you're the fool coming up against us, The Worst... Dunk Mask.
The Worst?
You guys are the ones who Haruka picked for opponents?
That's right.
I was told to come and let you know the day of the match—
Not doin' it.
Tip-off is at—
Go home!
Haruka Gracia told me about you.
Hard to believe this bird-brained pipsqueak is Rollingtown's legend.
What'd you say?!
D-Dan, you'd better not!
Why?
These guys are the strongest, most diabolical, cold-blooded, evil gang in the Bad Zone!
They're The Worst!
Ouch.
Such horrible slander.
I don't know your gang from crap,
but if you think you can stand a chance against me in a Bigfoot—
Do as I tell you!
Sorry, but I'm not doin' it.
What?
So he got cold feet, huh?
So in the end, you're just as small as you look, Dunk Mask!
Bastard!
I'll show you what's what right here and now!
Take that! And that!
Is this guy really the legend?!
No, just a regular moron!
Kick this moron's ass so bad that there'll be no way for him to fight us except in a Bigfoot!
We are The Worst!
Got it, Legend?
Face us in a Bigfoot three days from now!
Gosh, for a character, Dan sure does get beat up a lot.
His eyes rolled back.
Well, if we let him sleep for three days straight, he—
Oh, he rolled them back to the front again.
Dammit! Stop right there!
There is no way I'll ever roll over and do as Haruka says!
That's right!
So stop stalling and let me see the mayor!
Don't worry, it isn't poisoned.
Are you a runaway?
Should I have the police take custody of you?
N-No! No royal fam— No police!
Because I um... That is, I, uh...
Bread! Thank you very much!
Good grief, what should we do about this?
Mayor, we need to crack down on this right away.
W-Wait! You can't!
They're in a meeting right now!
I have a proposal.
Where the hell did those bastards go?!
W-Wait, Coco!
Been a while, huh, Coco?
How have you been doing?
Oh? Your brother?
Your brother is so fine that he couldn't be any finer!
Just now he was chasing some gang called "The Toast" or something to give them a good scolding!
So you're getting into fights?
What happened to your Bigfoot?
Your brother won't just roll over and do what those huge boobs say!
Bust size has nothing to do with it.
Yes! Exactly!
You're not my little sister for nothing!
Size isn't everything when it comes to busts!
Don't worry! I don't notice your bust size at all!
But Brother, you might want to hold out for a bigger future than that.
How is it? This is a real Bigfoot!
I'm not done yet!
I bet this one could pull off even better tricks!
Go!
You mustn't fight, Brother!
I love you the most when you're in your Bigfoot!
All right, I understand, Coco!
Your brother's gonna operate that Bigfoot!
But Coco, that woman Haruka took my Dangan away somewhere.
And the old guy and Ganz are gone too...
Nothin' I can do.
Guess I'll eat the can you gave me and think it over again.
But man, Coco, sometimes it's hard having you for a sister.
This time I don't have a can opener.
Can opener, can opener...
That's...
Yo, stupid-head.
Hey! A can opener!
So good!
No, not "so good"!
My teeth are all worn to nubs..
Don't worry, just grow some more, right?
So where have you been, jerk?
I'll have you know...
I was in an extremely pleasant place.
I forgot the passage of time!
But my happiness didn't last for long...
I'll leave the work to you.
Sure, we'll handle it.
What?!
Then you know where the old guy and Ganz— No, you know where my Dangan is?!
Yeah!
Just you wait, Coco!
Good food!
There's something special about a drink after a hard day's work.
But still, finishing this job three full days ahead of the deadline Miss Haruka gave us—
I'd expect nothing less from old man Souichi.
This is great! It's great!
These controllers... It's just like I'm dribbling with my own hand!
He seems happy, Grandpa.
Hey, you're here!
Ganz! What are you two doing here?
What're we doing? A tune-up, like we said!
You were enjoying it just now!
This, you mean?
You ought to be able to hear sounds from outside pretty well now, too.
Now that you mention it...
And Bigfoot-to-Bigfoot communication is possible within a radius of a hundred meters.
That's my Gramps for you!
Miyuki! Bel!
Were you guys in on this too?
We were told a little while ago.
Yeah, yeah.
We had to do it that way.
All the upgrades needed a bunch of parts from the black market here in the Bad Zone.
I doubt I could've come to such a dangerous place with my granddaughter in tow.
But I ended up coming anyway.
So what are you gonna do, Dan?
About what?
Seems like there are people who wanna fight your Dangan.
You don't mean—
You guys have been there this whole time?
We figured the legendary Dunk Mask would come here no matter what.
Hey Dan, who are these guys?
They're The Toast.
Sounds tasty...
Yeah! When I'm done beating them to a pulp, you can eat 'em!
Sheesh, Toast or Bust or whatever, all the ducks are lined up in a row, so why don't you just settle this with a match?
You think a three-on-one will be a match?
Oh, now he's yellow-bellied.
So you can fight three against one but you can't play?
What?!
Want a hand, Dunk Mask?
You guys...
You get it now, Dan?
For you, a real showdown isn't a fight, it's a three-on-three.
And of course, all the mechs here have been upgraded in the same way as yours.
Guess I have to then.
All right! This'll be the clincher, Dan.
Miss Haruka just left to get permission from the Mayor of Rollingtown...
...for a match three days from now.
Three days from now? Permission?
Mayor?
It's starting... No, it started!
What? You want us to officially acknowlege those punks' ball-games?
Yes.
There is a high probability that in the near future,
their streetball will become big business.
A mega-business that will pull in the moon,
not to mention all of Earthdash.
But if we acknowlege them, it won't just be our town getting destroyed—
That's right! The number of casualties will skyrocket.
Good festivities always involve some danger.
What was that? What's going on?
Bad news!
What is it?
Several Bigfoots are running wild near the Bad Zone!
What?!
Where are the police?!
Sheesh, those kids.
Hey Sela, where are you?!
That's the first time you've called me by name.
In front of Tepla Canal!
Okay!
Three-P!
The canal!
All right!
Okay, catch!
Here, Iceman!
I ain't gonna go easy on you just 'cause you're a soft BFB player!
Wrong!
I'm the streetball player, Iceman Hottie!
Destroy!
Hey! There's Bigfoot basketball going down at the end of Bwess Street!
Who's playing?
The Bad Zone's The Worst, and the Living Legends... Dunk Mask!
Whoa, kick-ass.
Dunk Mask?
Wow! Dunk Mask!
This rocks!
The controller fits my hand as if it were a real ball,
and I can hear Sela's, Iceman's, and the Toasts' voices just fine.
Worst!
And these shoes are so light and their grip is so strong...
This is...
Like I'm playing basketball in my own skin!
What is this?
What a turnout!
We've been waiting for this!
Now the heroes of street are gonna show us what they've got!
All these months since the stadium was destroyed...
Weren't there many of us who lost our love for those BFB fools?
I did! But now look!
Just look at what's unfolding before our eyes!
This is basketball!
This is streetball that surpasses BFB!
Keep your eyes peeled! Run!
Are you all right, young lady?
Y-Yes.
Please be careful.
The men in this part of town are all savage beasts.
Not counting myself.
Dumbass! Quit messing around!
Serves you right for trying to impress a girl!
Shit!
Are they... giants?
Hey, Dunk Mask!
You're really gonna go for that spot as the goal?
Damn straight I am!
There's no point unless the goal is the spot that stands out the most!
We're playing now and there is no room for messing around, so get it together, dumbasses!
"Dumb"... "mess"...
Hey, Sela!
What do you want?
Circle around the other end of Pekkle Street!
What? Why?
Idiot! Don't you mess around either!
Just go!
All right already, jeez!
Iceman, you take Cross Street!
Idiot! Don't mess around!
Baka suka... bakasuka, bakasuka!
Note: It's a pun. See the website for more info.
Bakasuka, bakasuka, bakasuka...
Talk to me, Ganz. What's the meaning of that?
Well, I guess we got caught up in the flow, or a bit carried away out of youthful enthusiasm...
With the profits from the ticket and merchandise deal I was about to haggle out of the mayor,
taking this global would have been a piece of cake...
Taking it global?
Well, never mind.
I'll think of some other—
Wait, don't tell me those kids are going to...
They're coming this way!
U-Unbelievable!
The goal is the Rolling Building, City Hall?
Bakasuka!
Mine!
What?!
Destroy!
Bakasuka!
Bakasuka, bakasuka, bakasuka!
Basquash!
Basquash?
Basquash!
Sweet!
The next goal is the moon!
Here we go!
Basquash!
Is that the legendary tracery?
It seems we won't have to wait much longer.

Dan's team's three-on-three was awesome, wasn't it?
All of Earthdash was watching over the Net.
And maybe even the peeps on the moon!
What? The moon is coming?!
This'll be a perigean approach!
NEXT TIME
Next time: Saint Has Come.
SAINT
HAS COME
Who's this Saint, anyway?
