RAMEN FIGHTER MIKI
You may stammer when you speak, but deep in your heart...
You've got instincts that burn in a blaze of glory.
I know it's in you.
In love and at play somehow you have a reserved kind of common sense.
I'm sure that at this rate... it'll just be an everyday prototype of life.
Boys and girls, round and round Dance a radical dance
It's a delusion that you want to dance it, so shout,
Live de Dive, Wild Spice
If you can just fly for a second
You want to lay claim to your dreams.
Go forth into the invincible present! Get up and go!
Birth of...
...the Super Space Squadron...
...Star Rangers!
SUPER SPACE SQUADRON
STAR RANGERS
The Super Space Squadron, Star Rangers...
...known by all as an immensely popular "Tokusatsu Hero" program!
But not long after it began airing on TV...
...the show was to reach a significant watershed moment.
A change which concerned...
Playtime is over now, Star Rangers!
Who are you?
I am Hell's Bunny, the Moonlight Shogun!
In the name of the moon, I will punish you!
Her words and actions belie her gorgeous looks!
Being outnumbered five to one doesn't faze her as she's armed with grand powers!
This newly-emerged leader of the enemy faction, Hell's Bunny has succeeded...
...in single-handedly captivating the hearts of the audience.
And here, today, too...
...you will find another man whose heart has been captured by Hell's Bunny.
That's right... me.
What are you doing, Ohta-san?
Oh... it's Miki-chan.
I'm glad you asked me that.
At this very moment, inside my heart...
...the Evil Soul, who champions Hell's Bunny and...
You can't lose your soul to the Evil Leader!
...the Just Soul, whose cry you just heard are locked in conflict!
This battle has been going on non-stop since last week.
Since last week, huh?
That sounds really serious.
All right! Just leave it to me!
I'll be glad to make the Just Soul inside you win that battle!
Oh? You mean that, Miki-chan?
TRUE, YOU'D THINK HE WAS THE MOST POWERFUL
Hanamimachi Park
Here we are! The Super Space Squadron...
Star Rangers!
How very unfortunate, Star Rangers.
The starlight has no way of reaching this planet anymore!
Uh, Miki-chan, what exactly is this?
Of course, we're playing "Star Rangers". What did you think?
Does she really think that lame make-believe game for brats can defeat me?
Come on, let's go home and watch a Hell's Bunny-sama video or something!
Red Star!
Blue Star!
Yellow Star!
Black Star!
Um... what was I again?
Oh, I know! You're Dark Star!
Wrong! He's Pink Star, what else could he be?
If you don't even have the bare basics down, don't play "Star Rangers"!
Hey! You did it, Ohta-san!
You've regained your Just Soul, right?
I see... so the Just Soul inside me isn't dead yet.
Okay!
Whoa! Awesome!
All right, then, let's start casting everyone.
First off, you five will play the Star Rangers.
And Miki-chan here will play a monster and a soldier. Got that?
Let's go!
Right!
How could a mere soldier be so freakin' powerful?
Starlight... Knuckle!
Wrong!
Red Star's deadly technique, the Starlight Knuckle is a bright red blazing supernova!
You've got to blow up that burning heart, and smash the enemy to smithereens!
Starlight... Slicer!
That's not it!
Blue Star's Starlight Slicer...
...is like an asteroid that smashes through the night sky!
You've got to master the non-stop rapid-fire repetition of this move!
Starlight... Knee!
You're SO off!
Pink Star's Starlight Knee is nowhere near as forceful as that!
You've got to be more wimpy... deliver your kicks in an anemic way...
...or Pink Star's allure
This is how you do Starlight Elbow!
This is how you do Starlight German!
Wow...
This is it! This is what you call a hero!
There's no reason for you to doubt yourselves...
I only have a Just Soul, after all...
Hey, it's Hell's Bunny!
What exactly is this Hell's Bunny?
Don't you know? She's super-popular right now!
You look just like Hell's Bunny, Big Sister from the bakery!
Oh, how embarrassing! To think that I'm super-popular on TV!
Uh, that's not really what they meant.
Please stop.
Ohta-san?
Please don't utter that name in front of me!
Ah! Hell's Bunny-sama!
It's like she's gonna make off with my soul!
What's the matter, Ohta-san?
What are you gonna do about this?
Just when he got his Just Soul back on top, too!
Thanks to you showing up, his Evil Soul got resurrected!
I really have no clue what you're talking about!
Ohta Akihiko will never betray justice no matter what!
The Star Rangers are the Allies of Justice who protect the Solar System!
Compared to the charisma of the great Hell's Bunny...
...your pitiful "justice" is nothing but a meaningless blur!
What did you say?
That's right, go on and hate me!
That hatred inside you will turn you evil!
What is this?
So anyway, that's probably his soul talking, but...
...it's all leaking out through his mouth!
Hey, come on, just hear me out for a second, will you?
You've led a quiet life all this time, advocating justice or common sense, but...
...has anything good ever come out of it?
Not one good thing came out of it, am I right?
I can't stand by and let you be the one to take all that abuse alone.
Toss aside that sense of justice, and let's live the easy life! Okay?
If we just keep chasing Hell's Bunny, life will be so much easier!
Go on and trust what I'm saying, okay?
From what I can see, Ohta-san's Just Soul seems to be quite inferior...
This is bad.
If we don't do something, he's gonna get completely swallowed up by his Evil Soul!
Why don't we pick up where we left off playing "Hell's Bunny"?
Don't you mean playing "Star Rangers"?
Huh? Did you just say something?
No, it's nothing, sir!
Okay, then, let's have our heroine show up!
The great Hell's Bunny-sama, who uses the power of sweet-talk to seduce Yellow Star!
You mean I'm the heroine of this show? You couldn't have made a better choice!
And as she takes advantage of the rift between the Star Rangers...
...the rest of us will invade Earth all at once!
Okay, Hell's Bunny-sama! Let's hear a smug laugh from you!
This isn't good. Ohta-sama's been totally possessed by his Evil Side!
Open your eyes, Ohta-san!
Hey, what are you doing?
Hurry up and get down on your knees before the great Hell's Bunny-sama!
What the heck should I do?
Hey! That's it!
Found it! This is it!
That's right!
From here on in...
...all you Star Rangers are going to work under the great Hell's Bunny-sama!
Ohta-san! Look over here!
Hey, but that's...
That's right! Try to remember!
The previous show and the show before that one...
It's Warrior Ranger and Eco Ranger!
You're absolutely right. You cherish these two, don't you?
Wait! O Evil Soul!
Huh? Who the hell are you?
Senpai!
Good job hanging on till now.
Now that we're here, everything's gonna be all right.
Let's go!
Right!
Warrior Thrust!
Eco Finish!
Starlight Knuckle!
Hell's Bunny-sama!
Hey! Ohta-san, your eyes are sparkling again!
All right, why don't we pick up where we left off playing "Star Rangers"?
Right!
Um...
What about Hell's Bunny?
Hell's Bunny...
Yoo hoo... are you there?
Supersize Onimaru!
Star Fighters... Combine!
Complete!
Starlight Robo!
Starlight Robo Punch!
Nya!
He... he defeated her!
Akihiko just knocked out Miki Onimaru with his bare hands!
It's got to be some kind of mistake, otherwise...
...it means that Akihiko is stronger than me as well!
That's just not possible, Nya!
Okay, the finishing blow!
Starlight Comet Sword!
Meteorite Slash!
Nya!
He... he cut her down. That Onimaru Miki...
You did it, Big Brother!
Right, it was a total victory.
There isn't anything that can defeat Justice...
Akihiko! There isn't anything that can defeat Justice...
Whoever makes the first move wins, Nya!
All right!
I just defeated Akihiko!
Meaning I'm actually more powerful than Onimaru Miki, Nya!
Who did you say was more powerful than me?
So you're still alive, Nya?
It doesn't matter. Since you're weaker than Akihiko, you're no enemy of mine...
It's not like I did anything, really...
But I always end up this way... so what's the deal?
Hell's Bunny-sama!
Before I open up the shop, I'll take a look at yesterday's Star Rangers show.
Here it comes! My deadly Starlight Knee!
Oh, man.
No matter how many times I see it, Pink Star's kick is really lame.
Compared to her...
One more time! You're history now!
I knew it! It's got a whole different pop to it... that kick of Miki-chan's!
Amazing! Who knew we could see full-blown...
...martial arts of that caliber on the outskirts of a shopping arcade?
Wasn't it a good idea to check this place out?
Hey! It's Hell's Bunny!
Eek! Hey! It's Hell's Bunny!
Boys and girls! I'm Hell's Bunny, that popular character from TV!
Please, won't you come into Huet?
That idiot... she went ahead and did it!
Hell's Bunny-sama!
Hey, are you all right, Ohta-san?
I'll be okay now.
I see you're well on the road to recovery!
Who are these people, anyway?
Beats me.
A VILLAIN HAS ARRIVED
Welcome! Thank you for coming to Bakery Huet!
Don't tell me this is from that day?
Yep. When the kids told her she looked like Hell's Bunny, she took it seriously...
Boys and girls! Now's your chance to shake hands with...
...Hell's Bunny, who's so popular with children!
She really does resembles the evil antagonist character...
Still, I wonder if she could get sued for doing that?
Well, if that happens it wouldn't be a bad thing either! Not for me...
Thank you so much!
Please come again!
Welcome! And what kind of bread do you like, little girl?
Um... are you really Hell's Bunny-san?
Are you the real Hell's Bunny-san?
Yes, of course I am!
She said it with a straight face!
I can't believe the nerve of that girl!
Hey! But that's a fake...
Just hold on a second.
I'm so glad!
I can't believe I got to meet you here! Thank you so much, God!
You see, my little brother is in the hospital now.
Hospital?
Yes.
My little brother Takeru has to have an operation soon.
But he's really scared, you see.
And the only thing that comforts Takeru right now...
...is watching his favorite show, "Super Space Squadron Star Rangers".
So please! Hell's Bunny-san! Please encourage Takeru!
But...
Please do it for him!
Very well, I'll do it! Just leave it to me... Hell's Bunny!
What?
Thank you so much! I know my brother will be thrilled!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
So I'll give you a call later, okay?
All right!
I've told a lie so big there's no turning back now!
Too late!
Oh... what should I do?
Serves you right!
You ended up in this hole because you did something sneaky to boost your sales!
You don't have to tell me that...
And on top of that, you're even sealing the fate of one little boy!
I never saw such a horrible girl!
It's just that I reached the point where I couldn't back out anymore!
Are you gonna tell her the truth? You can still catch up with her if you go now.
Very well.
I, Kannazuki Megumi...
...shall give the performance of a lifetime as Hell's Bunny!
Look, are you serious?
I want to take responsibility.
For this lie that I've told.
Megumi...
Encouraging young Takeru to go through with the operation...
...is the only way that I can make amends!
Ah!
So anyway, Ohta-san, would you give me some pointers so that I might be...
...more convincing as Hell's Bunny?
How to be more convincing?
She just has to be convincing as a villain. That should be a piece of cake!
All the performer has to do is become a horrible human being.
In other words...
She's already mastered that!
Oh, I've succeeded already! And so quickly, too!
Hey, wait!
Don't give me that laugh!
Hanamimachi Hospital
So anyway, this afternoon...
...we'll be putting on a special "Star Rangers" show just for you, Takeru!
MC
Let's start with the arrival of the villain.
Let's give her a hand!
Hell's Bu-
Just step back, you third-rate emcee!
I, Hell's Bunny, have come all this way, after all.
Let's dispense with the lame prologues, got that?
Would you look at that snarling arrogance the minute she arrives on the scene?
She's a master, after all!
She's found her groove and she's playing her heart out!
Looks like the kid is swallowing her act, too.
I think it's going to work out!
Hey, what are we doing here, too, anyway?
We're gonna be late for the shoot!
Well, because I really need to know!
You're a dead bunny!
That's a real wooden mallet!
I can't believe you used something like that to attack me! You really are a villain!
Oh, never mind. You are the star of the show, at least for today.
Okay, let's get on with the show.
Huh?
Hey...
Um...
Hey! Hell's Bunny...
Hell's Bunny!
Hell's Bunny... just got taken out!
This isn't good!
If we don't do something quick, we're gonna get him all depressed!
Miki-chan!
Ohta-san!
So anyway, Hell's Bunny will be retreating for now!
I'm leaving the rest to you, Miki-chan!
Senpai, I guess...
We have to go in now!
Hey, what happened to Hell's Bunny?
Well, um, I wonder what happened to her?
You mean Hell's Bunny's not coming back?
Hmm... good question!
Man, I did it again!
For some reason, I can't help hitting back when someone beats up on me.
Just a minute, you! You've got a lot of nerve, you know!
The way she moved...
Whoa... awesome!
I am Hell's Bunny, the Moonlight Shogun...
I'll pay you back and then some for what you just did! Get ready to go down!
Hold on a second!
Hell's Bunny! I, Pink Star, will be the one to take you on!
Hey, Pink Star came to see me too!
Huh?
Here it comes... my deadly...
Starlight Knee!
That's it! Pink Star's deadly technique!
Jeez! You call that a kick?
Wh-what do you mean?
What's up with that lame kick of yours?
You think you can overcome villains with a wimpy, half-assed kick like that?
Let me show you how it's done! Here I go!
Starlight Knee!
What the?
I can see that you've got some powerful moves.
Come on, why don't you play with me, too?
Huh! I can see you're not half-bad yourself.
Fine! Bring it on, then! I'll be happy to look after both of you at once!
Let's go.
I can't get in the slightest scratch.
Her moves may be bizarre, but look at me, a budding action star!
What is it that I lack?
There isn't a shred of hesitation in the way she fights.
And I'm sure it's because she has absolute confidence in herself!
Pink Star!
I'm a professional. I have confidence too! But that's not enough!
To win this battle, I need the...
...courage to take myself to the next level!
Pink Star!
She senses it now.
Now's your chance, Pink Star!
Right! Now's your chance, Pink Star!
That's a laugh!
Deadly Technique... Starlight Knee!
Well, now! So you can do it if you try!
In that case, I'm not gonna hold back anymore!
Eat this!
Please keep it down in here!
This is a hospital, for heaven's sake!
We're sorry!
Really, now!
Big Sister...
Hmm?
Pink Star and Hell's Bunny were both really powerful, weren't they?
Yes, they were, Takeru.
I'm gonna get stronger too, just like them!
So I'm not afraid of the operation anymore!
That's it, Takeru!
Oh!
What happened to me?
You should be glad! Takeru says he's decided to go through with the operation!
Oh, my, is that true?
Then it was certainly worth it, playing a villain!
Well, you don't really need to act... you're a villain through and through anyway!
I don't need to hear that from you, of all people!
Still... I wonder who the heck those two were?
A few days later...
"Star Rangers" is just about to start!
Starlight Knee!
Oh, you're really in for it now, Pink Star!
If that's how it's going to be, I'm not holding back either!
Wouldn't have it any other way! I'm gonna smash you to pieces!
Hey...
Pink Star's just like Miki all of sudden...
As you go running into the sunset, you can only see what's in front of you.
And you go past me like the wind So I can't take my eyes off you.
Even when I'm focusing on going home... Whenever I'm lost and want to cry...
I know you're going to make a mess of everything...
...by laughing out loud and jumping around
You don't care what others may think And you also hate what's not fair
After you've run off there's a breeze left behind...
A breeze made of your smile.
You're invincible and bouncy... When you're serious, you're wonderful.
You're awkward and you're a bad liar. But even so, I love you.
You're invincible and bouncy...
When you're serious, you're wonderful.
I love that smile of yours, so someday I'll look out for you...
Hey, did you really come from the moon?
What? I'm on my way home from the studio.
Hell's Bunny-sama was born on a tranquil island and...
Shut up!
And she became a shogun after handing the enemy a resounding defeat...
