In the name of Ouroboros!
Purge the sinners!
For a perfect world!
I will absolutely not tolerate...
antisocial forces!
To say it with their own words...
I am going to purge them!
That's all.
Todou-san! - Todou-san, just a word please!
Here we go.
Nobuta Power...
A reference to the 2005 drama "Nobuta wo produce" starring Kamenashi Kazuya and Horikita Maki. The background music is also from that drama.
injection!
Injection.
Huh? What was this from again...?
Bicycle!
Bicycle - Another reference to the drama where Kamenashi's character said goodbye with the pun "Bye Bicycle!"
Someone you know? - Huh? Ah, that's an old story.
An old story. - Heee.
So... why are we playing kick the can?
Don't think, feeeeel.
'Don't think, feel.' But I am thinking.
A group of adults playing in the middle of a weekday...
Ah... don't tell me we're deciding the fees we get with this?
There's no way we'd do that.
Uwah! What are you doing?
Ah, wait...wait... eh?
I can't see anything... I can't see anything....
Don't worry, that's only for now. Go!
Ah, by the way, if you lose you'll be our slave for a week!
What did you say? Slave?
Gotcha. - Eh? What? Touch?
Eh, so I'm the slave? - Let's go. Watch out, there's stairs.
Someone help me! Kick the caaaan!
In the name of Ouroboros.
For a perfect world!
Purge the sinners!
You... do you like milk?
Of course, cracker!
He says 'Atarimaeda no cracker' which translates to what we put there. It's also a reference to a cracker brand called 'Atarimaeda's crackers'.
When the kotatsu is out TAKE SHOES OFF
Aaah it's cold! It's cold! It's coooold!
So cold!
Don't infect me with that athlete's foot. - Ah...
God only knows whether that will happen.
Oy, that's discrimination, you know?
It's not written in your textbooks, so remember this!
Hey, slave! ARE YOU DONE YET?
Yes, yes. It's done.
Yusss. Yo, salt flavour!
It's cold.
That hurt! What are you doing?
You haven't cleaned the toilet yet!
And while you're at it, also clean the bar.
And while you're at it, prepare dinner.
And while you're at it, get me medicine for athlete's foot.
That's too many "while you're at it"s!
This is going to continue for a week?
Your master's order counts for everything!
Katsumura Slave Hideo.
Don't make it sound like my middle name!
I will absolutely not tolerate...
antisocial forces! - News about Todou again.
He's been governor for a month and his approval rating hasn't dropped.
That guy is definitely more popular...
than he was as a newscaster. Speaking of which!
What happened about you turning the series about me into a book?
Nothing. Because I never said that would happen.
Meowhat? - What?
Ah! You are ready to accept the athlete's foot...
I'm not. Look at this. - What?
3...
2...
1...
Wild...cat-saaaaan
You're really not popular. Don't act so cool!
What is thiiiis? - Isn't it great?
How did you do this? Huh?
If you insert a sentence here, it will search for videos that match the words.
Good jooooob!
But... wait.
Oy, what did you insert just now?
'Wildcat-san, you're not popular...
Don't act so cool'. - Don't worry about details.
Wakachiko, Wakachiko.
"Wakachiko" is the closing catchphrase of a comedian called "Yuttei". It's short for Youth, Strength and Character.
Wanna try? - Yes.
So quick!
Katsumura! You!
I can't rely on you. You are useless.
You are a hopeless guy, meoooow!
Ooooh... that's a collection of insults.
It's cold. So cold. IT'S COLD!
Oy, why are you hanging out here when the bar is open?
Are you angry about something?
Because of Pooporos, I haven't slept.
Poop in Japanese is "Unko". He says "Unkoros", which sounds more similiar to Ouroboros.
It's that! Pooporos!
You got it totally wrong. - Are you in charge of this case, Old Man?
Since you haven't stolen anything recently...
they've put me on other cases. - Heeee.
Besides, Morita and Fukuhara from our squad were...
Ouroboros...
Pooporos members.
Why can't you say Ouroboros? - Don't talk, slave!
Someone is pulling their strings.
Would you like some more? - No, thank you.
The reason for me to call the governor of Tokyo here today is...
the casino project you are promoting...
behind closed doors.
Our organisation is well known for back-room business.
So if you wish, we would be happy to be of assistance.
The Yakuza wants to help us?
To be honest, regarding this matter...
Serpent have also announced their willingness to help.
You intend to join forces with the Asian Mafia?
I have no need...
for assistance from either of you.
That greenhorn...
What do you want, bastards?
You're Nakaoka Taichi, right?
Last night in Kunima City of the Ohta district...
Nakaoka Taichi, the leader of Kyoubukai...
Kyoubukai is the yakuza gang introduced in EP02.
and his driver, Moroboshi Mitsuru...
Nakaoka?
Nakaoka Taichi? Wait... him?
What perfect timing...
They got you badly, huh?
Huh?
If I was only ten years younger...
is what I want to say...
You got any ideas?
In there.
Nakaoka Taichi We are punishing you for the crimes you commit within your talent agency. Ouroboros
What do you want me to do?
I want you to find out who's behind Ouroboros.
These guys only spoke broken Japanese.
They might not be Japanese.
If I told this to my guys...
they'd just haphazardly look for someone that fits.
And there would be unnecessary bloodshed.
I want to avoid that no matter what.
I'm expensive though!
How much?
Tell me one more thing before I answer that.
What is your core?
Smiling faces.
The...
smiling faces of the people around me...
and the people around them.
It's an old chivalry...
that I still want to preserve.
Will that do as my reward?
Thank you...
Ouroboros seems to consist of at least 100 members.
A hundred??
They are acting according to their own ideology.
They want to construct the perfect world.
That totally smells like a cult.
On first glance, Ouroboros seem like gentleman thieves wanting to expose crimes, but...
their real aim is destruction.
They destroy people's values.
This world cares about justice.
But they want to destroy it and create a new world.
That's exactly what terrorists think like.
But how did they manage to get 100 members?
There's an anonymous bulletin board...
where Ouroboros' website was introduced.
Sympathizers can contact them there and get recruited.
Ah, this siteeeeeee!
Useeeful!
He really has a knack for interrupting.
Why are they here? - Oh, well...
Tadaaaaaaa!
We are the Stray Cat Detective Agencyyyyyyy!
We received a request to investigate who is behind Ouroboros.
But I came because you said you wanted to meet me alone.
Like this I can be sued for leaking information.
But since it's for you, I'll accept being found out and receiving disciplinary punishment.
Even if I was arrestedN and had to go to prison...
we could marry in prison and upon my release...
even if we have to endure strong backlash from society...
we will work hard in our small cafe...
and we will be happy though we don't have any money...
shouting 'Let's live our lives without even one regret!',
just like Raoh in "Fist of the North Star".
"Fist of the North Star" is a manga series by Buronson and Hara Tetsuo.
and live out our lives like that.
Since I'm prepared for this, I'll give you the police information.
Yeah... yeah...
So into it. Way too into it.
What? - He's not interested.
What do you want?
Say, is it true that the members of Ouroboros speak broken Japanese?
Where did you get that from?
Eh... Ah... Oh...
Wikipedia?
Are you an amateur?
Do you know something?
To be honest, rumor has it that a huge organization is behind Ouroboros.
Do you know the two biggest forces that are currently controlling Tokyo's underworld?
Kyoubukai and the Asian mafia gang Serpent.
Right now, these two are keeping each other in check.
I seeeeee! Yeeeeeeah.
In that case, whoever spoke broken Japanese...
and attacked Nakaoka...
Serpent is Ouroboros?
Sorry...
have we really not met before?
Didn't I tell you?
There's a lot of good-looking guys in this area. - Not that!
It's your voice. I feel like I have heard the same voice recently.
Where was that again?
It's a quite common voice.
So, everyone, the fun time is starting.
See you later, Stray Cat!
Good work today.
Hey, what are you doing?
You're back from meeting Katsumura and Yamane? That was written there.
Why did you... They have a clean slate.
It was my misunderstanding. - But what if...
that is a misunderstanding?
What?
Didn't I tell you not to call?
Listen to what auntie tells you and go to bed.
Okay?
Your child?
Nope.
I managed to contact Ouroboros.
Well done. Yuuusss.
Katsumura Slave Hideo!
It's your turn! You are joining Ouroboros!
I should infiltrate them? No way I'll do that!
I said your master's order counts for everything! - That's bullshit!
The second sign on the door says: The slave has to sit Japanese-style.
Wai...wait...! - GO! GO!
NO NO NO NO! MASTER!
I'm unreliable, useless and extremely unlucky.
I think I'm pretty useless.
That's why... - Enough already! We accept your application.
Eh... you accept me... already?
We can use a writer for our advertisements.
BUT should you betray us...
your penalty is death.
Got it?
Well, then, please take care of me.
Congratulations on your enlistment!
That's nothing to be happy about.
If I'm found out, they'll kill me.
That's only a bluff! A bluff!
But these guys spoke normal Japanese.
That is true. So should we investigate some more?
What song is that?
That's the theme of Mission: Impossible!
Oh, really? - What's with you?
Ah, maybe you couldn't tell, because it was too realistic?
I was sure that it was Mambo No.5.
Me too. - What kind of song is that even?
That's the song they play during Hidden Camera!
But it's a little entertaining. Yes.
This song has no sense of tension. It doesn't fit the mood at all!
Hang on...
There's another person.
Stop, stop, stop, stop.
Sekimoto-san joined you, right?
What's with you? I joined to support you...
and all you do is complain. Now get IN THERE!
You're a policeman. Stop being so irresponsible!
Scary, scary...
They pretend to be a security company.
Wow, they transfer 10 million yen each month.
What's this notebook...?
Lots of people's names.
Ah! There's Nakaoka Taichi's name too.
There's a blue line under the name, right?
What might the red line mean?
The red line is under Ootomo Akiyoshi's name.
And his current whereabouts are unknown.
Don't tell me that means that...
the blue line marks people who have been injured... and the red line means they were killed?
It seems suspicious.
Wait a minute.
That means saying they kill people who betray them...
was not a bluff? - Announcement for Ouroboros.
Everyone, gather in the conference room.
Let's go.
Saaaaaafe. - I'm not!
Give me a break already.
Just get to the conference room quickly! Or they will kill you!
The withheld number means...
you're Akamatsu Anri, right?
Entirely correct.
I heard you're investigating Ouroboros.
So I thought I'd tell you some good news.
What kind of good news is this?
The real identity of Ouroboros...
is not Serpent.
The broken Japanese is a red herring, to make you think that.
So someone else is doing it in order to start a conflict...
between Kyoubukai and Serpent? - Yes.
So, if you think about who'd benefit from such a conflict...
the answer should come to your mind naturally.
Why are you telling me that?
I think I might be eliminated soon.
So, as a token of gratitude.
Such a conscientious person.
Just tell me one last thing.
Who the hell are you?
A spy for Serpent.
Don't make me laugh.
When you told me abou t the illegal gun production...
I knew that you don't belong to Serpent.
You curried favour with Kyoubukai's Nakaoka...
and crawled into Toudo Kenichiro's lap...
Who gives you your orders?
I don't take orders from anyone.
So what is your goal?
Revenge. For my older sister, who has been killed.
My sister was at the same place you were at back then.
So my goal is the same as yours.
It's Yuuki Tenmei.
Well, my enemy, the one who killed my sister...
is the Chameleon.
Yuuki's hitman?
That's why I can't die just yet.
That's what the really good news is.
You're late! Katsumura went somewhere with the Pooporos crowd.
Rikako is following him right now. Quick, get in the car.
I've had a very weird feeling for a while now.
Huh?
Ever since we got involved with Mao... whenever I'm on a job...
a certain man is steadily, steadily rising in rank.
There have really been too many coincidences.
Don't tell me...
that you helped Toudo Kenichiro become governor of Tokyo.
Have you also been in touch with Yuuki?
Why did you hide that from me?
I'm asking you why you hid that from me.
You're Akamatsu Anri, right?
No way...
Don't just stand there.
SAY SOMETHING!
Don't worry.
We're walking along the same path.
This is the time for you to trust me.
That's no answer!
What's up?
Got it.
Ouroboros kidnapped Akamatsu Anri at the airport.
You're Akamatsu Anri, right?
It's me. Katsumura. A friend of the Wildcat.
Please don't worry. I contacted the Wildcat about this.
If you leave this to me, everything will be fine.
What are you prattling on about?
What's this? - Oh...
Who the hell are you? Arrest him!
Ow Ow Ow Ow...
Take her along, too!
That's why I said I didn't want to do this!
It disconnected.
Katsumura-san? Katsumura-san!
Why did Inspector Sekimoto follow Ouroboros all alone?
I don't care. He can do whatever he likes about Ouroboros.
I meant to ask this earlier, but...
why are you so persistent about the Wildcat?
Aren't you obsessed with him as well?
No, I'm not.
Do you remember the Wildcat case at the time your father was killed?
The Wildcat exposed that prominent congress members were colluding with a construction company.
That case brought about another case behind the scenes.
The president of the construction company that bribed the politicians...
committed suicide in prison three days after being caught.
What? - And then one month later...
his wife followed him into death.
These two had a 5 year old son.
The main cause of all of that is the Wildcat.
The general public over-reacted totally about his performance...
and the construction company was relentlessly abused.
If the police had caught him promptly...
things wouldn't have gone so far.
The Wildcat may not be the one who killed your father...
But there's no doubt...
that this guy is a murderer.
They're in the warehouse over there.
The police will come soon. So go back first.
That guy was Kyoubukai's next leader.
So Ouroboros does kill people too.
It's to create a perfect world.
We eliminate whoever gets in our way.
Then why do you have to kill me?
Just listen to your heart.
Do you think you'll have time to get rid of our corpses?
Let's run. - What?
Anri-san!
That was... - Up there. Let's hurry.
Senpai!
That's Kyoubukai's Ootomo.
Was he shot?
Senpai? Senpai?
Where am I?
The police hospital. You collapsed in the warehouse...
What about Anri-san?
What about Akamatsu Anri?
Huh? When we came there was only you...
and Ootomo's corpse.
Ootomo?
Did you kill him?
The bullets we found in Ootomo's body...
match your gun.
What gun?
He just regained consciousness!
That's... - Shut up, you're in the way! Get out!
INUI-SAN!
Open the door!
Well...
you wanna tell me your story?
It seems like they suspect Katsumura of having killed some Kyoubukai guy.
He'll be arrested right after he's released from the hospital.
But that...
He doesn't have a reason to kill him!
He collapsed next to the corpse and had a gun.
But what would his motive be?
What are we going to do? We'll save him, right?
Is that a joke?
Unless it was an incredibly beautiful woman...
I won't cross a dangerous bridge for that kind of deadhead.
As if it wasn't...
already bad enough that you made him join Ouroboros.
Now you also don't care if he gets arrested?
No problem!
You're despicable.
Well, for me to rescue Katsumura...
he'd either have to be a competent individual...
or there'd have to be 1 million yen lying around in the police hospital.
Sorry, but neither of those factors apply.
The matter is... clooooooosed.
But it might indeed be difficult to rescue him.
Rikako-san... even you?
If we rescue Katsumura, the police will start keeping tabs on us.
And in that case, Sekimoto can't cover for us either.
Thank you, Katsumura.
Goodbye, Katsumura Hideo!
?? The light of the fireflies...
?? In front of...
What are you doing?
It was fun.
Compared to school or the online world...
being here with everyone was fun.
For the first time...
I thought that this was the place I belonged to.
I don't want to sweet-talk you into rescuing Katsumura-san.
I want you to rescue him for your own sake too.
Please.
Even if you make eyes like a Chihuahua...
what can't be done just can't be done.
Which idiot would board a bloody ship he knows is about to sink?
But it would be okay if there was an advantage for you, right?
Huh?
What if Katsumura managed to...
find out about Ouroboros' true identity while you were meeting Akamatsu Anri?
That's a ship I would board.
You're so popular everywhere... and fucking around everywhere...
but you're sure piling up some stress due to your work.
Nice to meet you.
That'll do, huh?
That's the first time we meet directly, mmh?
You allied with Old Man Sekimoto... to use me.
Did he tell you? - No.
Your former secretary did.
Ah, so it was her.
And. What do you want?
You hate Ouroboros, don't you?
Yes. I want to eliminate antisocial forces.
Of course that includes you.
'I found out who's behind Ouroboros.'
What would you do if I said that?
Well. - Though even if I said that...
The person who actually knows is in the police hospital right now.
I'll bring him along.
It might be good material for you.
How about 100 million yen?
You have no idea about the income of public servants.
Well then, instead of 100 million yen...
take me to Yuuki.
He's not someone you can meet that easily.
Well, then this conversation never happened.
I'll find someone else.
I got it.
I'll find a way.
So, we have a deal?
But... how will you get him out of there?
I don't care whether you killed Ootomo or not.
What I want to know is why you joined Ouroboros.
You wanted to discover their true identity.
But why?
You pushed yourself to expose their crimes and demonstrate your sense of justice.
Are you the Wildcat's accomplice?
ANSWER ME!
I don't know anything!
That again?
Protecting the Wildcat does you no good.
Got it? As things are, you will be sentenced for murder and live in prison.
I wonder how many years you'll be behind bars.
Katsumura-san, your dinner is ready.
Please let him eat in peace.
You have 5 minutes.
Even if you pretend to be dumb I won't leave you alone.
Inui-san!
What is this about?
Do you really think that Katsumura-senpai killed him?
No. - What?
Then why?
I'm using him as bait.
To lure out the Wildcat.
But I told you that it was a misunderstanding of mine.
No, it wasn't.
He will definitely appear.
In the vase close to you.
Take a look!
In five minutes. On the rooftop.
I'll be waiting!
All ready.
If we'd asked Sekimoto, I wouldn't need to wear such an outfit.
Did something happen?
No, nothing.
Do you really want Katsumura to escape all alone?
There's quite a lot of guards at the hospital.
But I think you have to go there to rescue him...
Well... let's see about that...
Has there been anything strange?
Not at this point.
Ouroboros.
Help!
Ouroboros.
What does that mean?
Strategy successful.
I don't think I'll be home tonight.
Auntie will...
Where is Katsumura Hideo?
This is impossible.
Ouroboros are here.
Hurry and get out there to help!
I'll leave them to you! - Roger!
Shit!
Yes?
Katsumura has disappeared from his hospital room.
What?
Ouroboros were after Katsumura!
Find him!
He really wants me to escape with this?
Are you for real?
Stay right there!
Ouroboros were a decoy?
Stop kidding around!
Ooooow. - Ouch.
But this...
was Fantastiiiic!
Ow ow ow ow.
Shit.
What the hell is this.
I have a mountain of things to say...
but as soon as I see your face, I can't help crying.
Let's go.
- WILDCAAAAAAT!
Go! Now! - But...
JUST GO!
A petty thief, and Bushido?
Don't make me fucking laugh!
"For a Samurai, shameful things like cowardice and fraud...
are forbidden."
That's a suitable passage for someone who tricks people and cheats them out of their money.
No way are you a samurai.
And you aren't a hero either.
You are just a criminal!
I'll take of your mask.
Don't worry, that's only for now.
I won't let you get away with this!
Is it about the brat?
When I exposed collusion between politicians and a construction company...
the company president and his wife committed suicide.
You adopted their son, right?
Ichimura Takayoshi.
He just turned 7, didn't he?
Even though you know this...
you still think that what you did was justice?
- I DON'T!
But I also don't intend to apologize to the brat!
Tell him that.
If he wants to complain, he can come and cut my throat.
I won't run and I won't hide.
Stop kidding around!
Don't you understand the pain he must feel!?
EVEN SO! Would it have been better to cover up his father's crimes?
Should his son LAUGH about that!?
At least he would have been happier than he is now.
If you hadn't butted in...
His parents would still be alive.
If you'd left it to the police this wouldn't have happened.
That's not true.
The congress members and the police... were close friends.
Research it and you'll find out immediately.
Only I could expose it.
So I exposed it.
It's just as you said.
I am...
just a criminal.
Oy!
Do you...
like milk?
Of course, cracker.
Uncle! - Hey...
I'm sorry. Takayoshi-kun was desperate to give you this.
What are you laughing about? - I just...
wanted to see you!
You will definitely catch the Wildcat, right?
Yes... I will definitely catch him.
I'll speak to you later.\ - Yes, Ma'am.
Katsumura-senpai has been put on the wanted list, on suspicion of murdering Ootomo.
Wildcat...
I'll...
make it easier for you?
Everyone...
thank you for rescuing me.
Of course we would. We're comrades after all.
Mao-chan...
So uncooool.
Man, I'm getting goosebumps.
Why, not? Sometimes it's okay to say idealistic things.
Tell that to your classmates from the Shounen Jump generation...
Shounen Jump: bestselling, long-running boys' manga full of action and idealism.
who grew up on 'friendship, effort, victory'.
More importantly...
Who is really behind Ouroboros?
What are you talking about?
So it was really just a lie.
You knew that, though?
You're not naive.
From now on, they'll be after you.
If we want to prove your innocence...
we have to track down who's behind Ouroboros...
and find the criminal who killed Ootomo.
I know.
By the way when Ouroboros invaded the hospital...
you said 'Strategy successful'.
What did that mean?
Were you by any chance masterminding that?
That's for next week's...
enjoyment.
It was Ouroboros, right?
The 'Joker' you talked about.
What are you talking about? - Don't play dumb.
What are you scheming behind my back?
It's upsetting, isn't it.
Well then, what the hell is this about?
Toudo Kenichiro If you implement your casino plans we will punish you. Ouroboros
