Kabuki stage
Such official garment is not meant for thee.
Thou are not fit for a samurai to be.
Useless fool, how long will it take to capture Lupin?
Please wait a bit...
I can't!
You're an idiot! A moron!
Useless policeman!
Wwwwait!
You big-mouth jerk!
You jerk. You think you can do this because you're a minister?
He's mad!
-Help! Help! -Silence!Shut up!
Chief Asano, please wait!
No violence!
I can't...
Let me go!Zenigata you idiot!
-Violence can't solve this. -This is a shame for an officer.
-Zenigata, let me go! -Chief Asano! Please calm down!
Harakiri scene
Ooishi is not here yet?
Kuranosuke is not here yet?
Ouch!
What are you doing?
Just like kids. Coming to watch Chuushingura every year.
Are Japanese idiots?
That's right.
I'm sorry, my name is Kira Kozukenosuke.
Are you Chuushingura's play-writer?
Don't joke!
I'm not as bad as that.
Lately, the false teeth are getting funny.
But I find Chuushingura boring, just like you.
Don't do this, old man. It's gross.
Asano speaking.
The minister?
Sack me?
Is that so?
How could they sack you, chief?
It doesn't matter,Zenigata .
I alone doomed myself.
As a law keeper, I shouldn't use violence.
But if I knew this would happen, I'd have trashed that minister.
I'm sorry! I shouldn't have stopped you.
Doesn't matter. You must go on.
I am to be blamed for not catching Lupin.
Zenigata!
Yes!
No matter what, you must arrest Lupin and make that minister's eyes bulge.
Yes sir!
My fellow policemen!
We're here to avenge Chief Asano.
Why was Chief Asano sacked?
It's Lupin. It's all because of Lupin.
Because he's still free.
To avenge Chief Asano, we must defeat the accursed Lupin.
Follow Zenigata, the demon of revenge.
Together in the biggest operation to capture Lupin.
Codename: Chuushingura!
*The Name of the Operation Is Chuushingura*
I'm very old, of course I'm degenerated.
Why must I be treated as a bad guy?
Old man, don't cry. Here's one more cup.
Ooishi Kuranosuke, I hate you.
Don't make this scary face.
Right, the topic is the treasure.
Is there really a treasure?
There is.
I, Kira Kozukenosuke used my degenerate ways to gather this treasure.
If it's fate that we met, I'll go investigate for you.
He..he has no feet, he's a ghost.
Then we'll split the treasure in half. Cheers!
Kira, where are you?
Kira?
Kira?!
Wait, Fujiko.
We can't tell if he's a ghost yet.
Yes, we can!
If Kira Kozukenosuke's spirit is here, the treasure must be real.
But we can't tell Lupin that he's a ghost.
Correct. They're getting along so well.
But where is the treasure?
Probably, in Honjo district.
Kira's last mansion was at the end of this road, I think.
Somewhere near Sumida Park.
As expected, Goemon, you know a lot.
Honjo Police Station should be Kira's mansion.
Wh...what? Police station?
The treasure is buried beneath the police station?
A gross face.
What's wrong,Lupin?
No more fuel.
There's a gas station.
This is not a car!
Heeeey!Help uuus!
Oh my...
This weather isn't good for swimming.
This is Kozukenosuke's bedroom. It should be the boiler room of the station.
Goemon, aren't you cold like this?
I'm not like you. My body is trained.
Lupin and the treasure. Two birds with one stone.
Fellow officers, together with you,
I am indebted forever to Chief Asano.
So please come here from all over the nation!
I... Zenigata the Man, am very grateful.
I'm sorry.
You're wrong, Mr. Zenigata.
Who are you?
Who am I?
I'm Hayano Kampei from Osaka's police post.
So? What did I do wrong?
If I must describe you, the words are "old-fashioned".
Wh...what? Old-fashioned?
I don't know about the others, but I joined this operation
not because of loyalty, but for the money.
And the chance to make a name for myself.
Me too...
That's right.
Wait!
I'm not like that.
Wh...who are you?
I'm from the HQ in Honjo.
Toribi Yasubei. Hi!
You still have your heart of righteousness?
Just a moment.
What?
Wha... What?
I joined the police just to kill people.
The times have changed.
Anyway, let's think of a plan to defeat Lupin quickly.
This is old.
Old?
Planning is wasting time.
Just pull out the gun and kill the bad guy.
Viva! Don't you agree?
Cool!
That's great!
Wait!
You can't go against the rules.
That's why I said you're old.
Wait!
Forget it. An idiot like him will be fired anyway.
Everybody look at me.
Thank you for your attention.
My plan is to lure Lupin
and catch him in one swoop.
That's it.
Theoretically sound good.
Lupin is a greedy person, he won't bother about us.
He'll just try to take Kira's treasure.
Kira's treasure?
That's right. The treasure spot is rather special,
so he'll have some plans beforehand.
According to calculations,
the treasures Kira hogged is rather large.
Lupin doesn't have much choice.
Right, Mr. Zenigata?
I'm thankful for your offer, but I won't do it.
Why,Lupin ?
I've been in bad state lately, I don't feel well.
You're so weak. This isn't like you at all.
Besides I didn't take advance from that Kira guy.
About this, Lupin...
Kira, when did you come over?
Doesn't matter. This is your deposit.
Could it be your royal ring?
Fujiko, take a look.
That's right, it's real.
Very valuable.
All right Kira, we have a deal.
It's official.
Why is your hand so cold?
You want to have a steak?
I told you, my teeth are no good.
I can't bite hard things.
And my body is cold because I'm a ghost.
"Ghost" he says!
Kira, you know how to joke.
Can't take more...
That Toribi, does he intend to break our plan?
No,no,no,I think we'll just do things quietly.
What?why?
Hey!Lupin, I'm Toribi from the Honjo police HQ.
We're officers with anger towards you.
I don't want to arrest you, so it's useless to raise the white flag.
No,It seems to be some cranky policemen.
Shouldn't we run?
I think it's possible to make use of them.
But they're serious.
Let's try if they are.
They're serious.
Fire!!!
Mr. Zenigata, calm down!
Lupin is cleverer than Toribi, you know this.
You're right.
Where are you?
Come out, Lupin!
I'm numb...
Compared to that, we'll do much better.
Right, Mr. Ooishi?
Mr. Ooishi?
Ooishi Kuranosuke, the main character in Chuushingura.
Think of yourself as Ooishi from now on, and we'll catch Lupin.
Comrades of mine, let us move out.
Kuranosuke, I hate you.
Mr. Ooishi. It's as we thought.
Toribi Yasubei and two of his team are back.
From the looks of it, they're in bad shape.
What do we do now,Lupin?
Kira's treasure is under the boiler room.
There are too many people during the day. We better wait.
This is a police station, even at night it's the same.
Even policemen run away from fire.
Please calm down, Mr. Ooishi!
Hoooot!
Fiiire!
Fiiiire!
It's beginning.
Let's move out.
Wait, my comrades, I bid you.
I wish all of you to wear these clothes.
Hurry up, Lupin! There's no time.
But is Kira's treasure really in this place?
Don't talk much! Just believe and keep digging!
Comrades of mine, the time have come.
Yes!
He takes this act too much to the heart.
Lupin, are you done? Hurry!
Jigen, sorry to keep you waiting.
Look!
But is this a valuable treasure?
We'll confirm later.
It's getting strange up there.
Let's hurry!
So much smoke.
Pops, why are you dressed like that?
Move not!
I walk this path to avenge my master Asano Takimi no Kami.
I am Ooishi Naizousuke.
Lupin, that's the leader of the 47 ronin.
Comrades of mine!
Oh, Kira, nice entrance.
-Long time no see, Kuranosuke. -Wh...what?
I'm Kira Kozukenosuke whom you killed on the 15th year of Genroku.
I shall have my revenge today.
Kira, do you often go to Kabuki? It was a perfect act.
Don't think you can trick me. Don't let Lupin escape.
Fiiiire!!!
What kind of crap is this?
Kira, that's was a great weapon.
Instead of talking, you better run.
Lupin, let's go!
Sir Zenigata, excuse me!
You did well too.
You're so loyal.
S-s-s-spirit!
A spirit from Chuushingura.
My god!false teeth?
T..h..a..t's right, without these you can't survive in the netherworld.
We agreed to split 50-50?
Do you want the up or the down part?
I lost to you, Kira.
I thought the treasure you were referring to
was some expensive jewels. I spent half a day...
I'm sorry.
But to a toothless old man, false teeth are truly valuable treasure.
Then.I should've known better.
But you can give me something.
Like that great weapon you used back then.
Well...
I know it must be computer controlled.
But it's rare.
Lupin, listen here...
It's almost dawn. Farewell, Lupin.
Wait a minute,wait, Kira. Running away is mean.
Lupin, listen to me.
He really was a ghost.
Liar! Ghosts do not exist.
Hey!Kira, false ghost, come out!
Forget it. He won't believe no matter what you say.
Lupin, forget this foolishness and let's go swimming.
As you say, Fujiko dear.
Ginger ale later!
I hear of a valuable painting devoted to Jesus.
It's not the famous "The Last Supper",
but the weird "The First Supper".

"The Secret of the Mystery Painting, "The First Supper" See ya!
