All right!
I'm gonna hook a big one!
I ripped myself a new one!
All you ripped was your pants.
Your butt was already like that!
Your hook wasn't baited, though.
I'll sew it up for you.
Thanks as always, Nagare.
You ripping your clothes is a year-round event.
Yeesh... Should you really be doing this?
You need to look for someone to face in the Hero Wars.
There's nothing I can do about it!
Sis was all like...
That's it! That's the way!
Aw, so close!
Hey, Kaito.
Get us some fish for dinner, please.
Gotcha!
What's that hand for?
What do you mean, "what"? I can't buy fish if I don't have money.
Oh, Kaito.
Your sister isn't just asking you to run an errand.
You know how supremely lacking in money we are right now.
Huh?
Who was it that build up a ten billion yen debt all of a sudden?!
Me!
Go to Big Money Bay or someplace and catch us some dinner!
So, see, I can't go home empty-handed.
Ah, don't move yet!
Ow!
Nagare!
It's because you moved...
We got a zap, though!
There it is! Platina's prophecy!
He's saying you'll reel in a super big one, though.
What, it was about fish?
I thought it would be about a Hero Battle...
Don't you worry!
I'll reel in a big one on the double and find an opponent on the triple...
Ow!
HERO BANK
Burst Angler! A Meeting with Piscesamurai!!
Burst Angler!
A Meeting with Piscesamurai!!
All right!
As long as we have Platina's prediction,
it'll be a cinch to land a big one!
So... dorky...
Nagare has some questionable taste, though...
I already got a bite!
He did it!
It looks pretty heavy, though!
The first one!
Ow!
Canned fish?
Well, it is fish. Think Sis will eat it?
You probably shouldn't risk it...
Another one!
This time for sure!
It looks even heavier this time!
It really does seem like a big one, though!
Sh-Shark?!
It's gonna eat me!
Um, Kaito-kun...
No! I don't taste good! I swear!
That's...
I'll give you a Yummy Stick! Just don't eat me!
Give back my floaty!
I'm not catching anything!
I can't believe we didn't hook even one small fry...
I wonder where we went wrong...
Didn't you say I'd reel in a big one?
You were supposed to, though.
K-Kaito!
The fishing rod!
Tonight's dinner is here!
H-Heavy!
Do your best!
If you rip your pants, count on me!
I'll back you up!
Who're you?!
No looking away! Give it your whole heart and soul!
R-Right!
Now! Pull!
I did it! I got a big one!
Look! Meals are free!
Hey, quit struggling, you jerk!
Thanks for your help.
Don't mention it.

Give us your order!
A company president so young. Most impressive.
My name is Isshin Uminari.
Isshin, huh? Nice to meet ya!
Still, I was surprised.
Kaito-dono, you are quite well-endowed!
Well-endowed?
You mean this?
No... Not that...
I can't believe you pulled in
such a big fish here in Big Money Bay.
You're quite a man.
Well, I don't really get it, but it's awesome, right?
But, it might be a little too big.
Forget a bucket, I wish we had a push cart or something, though.
Huh?
If that's all it is...
Leave it to me!
That really surprised me, though!
Sweet!
A true feat of agility!
It is my special skill: tuna disassembly!
Now, eat up.
We're digging in!
Yummy!
It's delicious, though.
It's superb!
Bringing fresh, delicious fish to all...
That is the spirit of those who work at the Big Money Fresh Fish Market Castle.
Big Money Fresh Fish Market Castle...
Big Money Fresh Fish Market Castle
Wow, so that's what this is...
So what is that?
Why don't I show you around, then?
Wow, so this is a fresh fish market, huh?
Yes, this is where the fresh fish caught in the Big Money Bay
are sold to fish dealers, sushi shops, and the like.
Hey, wait!
What're you trying to pull?
This is a false accusation! I've done nothing...
Stop this at once!
Young Master!
I know a lot has happened and you feel on edge,
but I wish you would refrain from silly disputes
here in Big Money Fresh Fish Market Castle!
Out of consideration for Isshin Uminari's visage!
Yo! Uminari Shop!
If the young master says so...
Young master?
Oh, you boys didn't know?
Fish Samurai Shop
Young Master Uminari is an elementary school tuna disassembly instructor
and the third heir of Big Money Fresh Fish Market Castle's
oldest shop, The Fish Samurai Shop.
Everything from dispute resolution to shop management...
He's an elementary schooler, but he puts adults to shame.
All right! We'll help out, too!
Huh? "We"?
No, the thought is plenty.
No need to be modest!
Smiles are free! Big Money Company!
The ocean is calling me...
As if. This is truly what they call "hard-boiled."
The Cyber Emperor, huh...
This is the last of it, though!
I am indebted to you for your assistance.
It's fine, it's fine.
We're friends and all.
Friends...
Then, I will take you up on your offer.
Yeah! Rest assured, you'll be shipshape in no time!
Do you have a moment?
I'd like some local fish.
Welcome! In that case, look right over here!
They're all pretty small.
Do you have any others?
I do apologize...
but this is all the fish from Big Money Bay.
I see.
I'll come some other time, then...
So the rumor that they can't harvest any fish in Big Money Bay was true...
D-Don't worry.
Remember, Isshin-chan, if you can just win the Hero Wars...
Hero Wars?!
You're participating, too, Isshin?
Does that mean you are, as well?
Then, battle with me!
Huh?!
I was just looking for an opponent!
Very well!
You've got yourself a battle!
Thanks for your business!
Bankfon G, activate!
Job change!
Enter the Gold!
Enter the Gold
Job change!
Piscesamurai
Piscesamurai!
Don't lose, Young Master!
Fight, Young Master!
Good luck, Isshin-chan!
Isshin! Isshin! Isshin!
So many people from the market...
An incredible number of them.
They're like a cheerleading squad, though.
It's good that they're livening things up!
Here we go!
Hero Wars qualifying round!
Enter the Gold, Kaito Gosho.
Facing him,
drawing attention as he advances like a roaring wave: Piscesamurai,
Isshin Uminari!
He already looks like a big catch!
Battle money will start at one million yen!
No time limit!
Hero Battle!
Fight!
Here I go!
Please wait!
Watch what Isshin-san does first...
He isn't listening, though.
Here I go! Swordfish Stab!
He got him right off the bat, though!
I told him so!
You're awesome at battling, too, Isshin!
One more time!
Flying Fish Slice!
Rapid-fire techniques?
No way! They just started!
I'm not done yet!
He's coming!
Hidden Blade:
Raging Shark!
Kaito-kun!
Kaito!
That does it!
He took a super dreadnought special move head-on!
Piscesamurai is giving a lavish feast from the very get-go!
Enter the Gold can't get a single hit in!
For Big Money Bay!
For the market!
I cannot be defeated!
Isshin! Isshin! Isshin!
The chanting for Isshin returns!
The battle money is going through the roof!
A-Amazing...
This is obviously not normal!
That's strange, though...
These are the very feelings of everyone who cares for Big Money Bay...
What do you mean?
Big Money Bay is on the verge of crisis.
Crisis?
You mean a tough spot?
And this is the cause.
A factory?
As the factory grew bigger,
the surrounding ocean environment changed and the fish population decreased.
That must be why we had trouble catching fish, though.
Was the one Kaito-kun caught just a coincidence?
At present, we cannot catch fish, unless we go far out to sea...
Does that
have something to do with the Hero Wars?
In order to return Big Money Bay to the way it was,
the Hero Wars prize, ten billion yen, is essential!
I see! It finally makes sense now!
For Big Money Bay's sake,
everyone from the market was supporting Isshin-san with all they had...
That's why he could rapid-fire his big techniques so soon!
How about he throws the match?
Huh?!
Wh-What're you saying?
He can't do that, though!
But the two of them are friends.
And the way things are going,
Kaito is at an overwhelming disadvantage...
We can't afford to lose, either!
We have a ten billion yen debt, though.
I see. So your reason for fighting in the Hero Wars is to repay a debt?!
In that case,
my wish, and those of all in the market who hope to restore the ocean, are stronger!
You've just been rambling on all this time!
It's true I have a debt, but that's not my only reason.
I love Hero Battles!
So I don't wanna lose to anyone!
He did it, though!
He can't use that giant knife anymore!
Isshin, are you only doing Hero Battles for the ocean and your market?!
That... That's...
I got a chance to battle with you,
but if that's all it's about, it's totally boring!
You truly are
an impressive man!
I, too, am unparalleled in my love for Hero Battles.
Kaito-dono, it's got nothing to do with you or Big Money Bay...
I want to fight to my heart's content!
That's what I wanted to hear!
No going easy!
Full power, full throttle!
An earnest battle!
Big Catch Driving Pole!
Explosive Gold Rush!
A furious exchange with no defending!
But neither gives an inch!
Kaito! Do your best, though!
Please win!
Looks pretty fun!
That's it! Keep it up!
Kaito...
You're pretty good.
You, too.
He smiled, though!
Kaito-kun and Isshin-san are enjoying this battle from the bottoms of their hearts.
Enjoying it...
Say, doesn't the young master
seem different today?
I've never seen him battling with such spirit before...
Yo! Fish Samurai Shop!
Third heir!
Best in Japan!
Don't you lose!
Kaito! Isshin! Kaito! Isshin!
Their strength is nearly on par!
There's no telling how this will end now!
Which of them will be victorious?!
It's about time we settled this!
All right!
I'll settle it in a snap!
Simultaneous blows?!
That's a good punch you've got there!
You, as well...
You truly are well-endowed...
It's over!
Winner: Enter the Gold, Kaito Gosho!
You beat me good.
An utter defeat...
That was a super hot battle! It felt great!
Agreed.
I do not regret losing!
It's been so long since I had such a fun battle.
Still, this has put restoring Big Money Bay further in the distance...
Isshin-san...
I have mixed feelings, though...
Y-Young Master...
E-Everyone...
I am truly sorry for this!
Please raise your head, Young Master.
We're the ones who should apologize.
We were relying on you too much.
We're sorry.
Let's all of us at the market think about the future together.
As we watched you and that lad battle, we realized...
We all have to work hard, too.
Isn't that right?!
Everyone...
Isshin.
We'll help, too!
If there's anything we can do, tell us!
I-I am grateful!
Hey, don't be a stranger.
We're friends!
I just thought of something really great!
I really am well-endowed!
I've got a bad feeling about this...
Though, though!
Now, now, it'll be win-win for everyone.
Win-win.
Really?
Jeez!
Kaito is late with dinner!
Yes?
What is this?!
Sis, I'm back!
Kaito!
You caught all this?!
That's incredible!
Huh?
No, no.
I used prize money from a Hero Battle to buy up all the fish from the market!
A-All of it?!
Yeah!
It was a win-win situation,
where nobody lost out!
Don't I have some wicked insight?
Listen, you...
What were you thinking?!
Huh? Like I said, it was a win-win...
It's a loss for us!
What're you gonna do about your debt if you keep throwing away money like that?!
One: toying with people!
Two: audacious club activities!
Three: she looks cute, though...
Next time: "Big Detention Panic! Black Cat Shadow Kitty!"
"Big Detention Panic! Black Cat Shadow Kitty!!"
Let's rake in the dough!
