Abenobashi is a shopping and entertainment area in Osaka.
It's apparently been 50 years since the shopping arcade was built here,
but I've never heard any rumors of supernatural phenomena until now.
According to the person who designed it,
the shopping arcade is as scientifically sound as it can be.
So, goblins,
great evil lords,
giant robots
and members of their own families cosplaying...
much less a busty, naughty lady with glasses
should absolutely not appear without good reason.
Huh? Then how in the world did this all happen?
Oh, speaking of which,
that person who said he designed the shopping arcade...
I feel like I've seen him before somewhere.
Looks like this isn't the right town either.
You and I have both become completely different people.
The night fog transformed me into an adult woman.
Being an adult is too sad, baby.
Sasshi, you mean to go, don't you?
In the end, we're just migrating birds.
To not be able to settle in one town for long is our fate.
Sasshi...
Good grief, what a cruel town.
Even a cute guy like Spot here has a pitch-black shadow.
Come here, Spot. Spot, Spot.
Arumi, run!
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Let's pull out of here!
What?
You're Arumi's mom!
Oh, my! Hello, there! How's your mom doin'?
Oh...
But this is no time to be sayin' that.
If the flatfeet catch us, it'll be a disgrace to the Pelican Family.
Hey, not me!
Oh, wai... Sasshi!
Arumi's the one in the pelican family!
My family's the turtle!
Quit makin' a racket!
Damn, they got away.
Excuse me, who were they?
The Pelican Family.
The gang that's got control of this shoppin' arcade.
Gang?
Wow, I guess our shop has a pretty extensive business.
Y'all were ambushed by the law, you say?
Episode 6 In the Night Fog! Abenobashi * Hard Boiled Shopping Arcade Y'all were ambushed by the law, you say?
Episode 6 In the Night Fog! Abenobashi * Hard Boiled Shopping Arcade
It isn't even like you.
I am sorry.
So? You delivered our terms, I hope?
To the legendary sniper Rugolgo, that is?
Actually...
Ha! Can't you even run a child's errand successfully?
I am sorry.
Well, that's all right.
He's an honest-to-goodness pro. He'll show up here.
Ladies, don't you miss your chance to see Rugolgo in action.
Yes, sir.
Mister.
Yes?!
I haven't see you around before. Is this your first time here?
Uh, well...
You'd better not be one of the law's stooges.
No! No, I'm not!
He's no spy!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
This is the man we have been waiting for! It's Rugolgo!
You have done well to come here, my friend.
No, well, that is...
You must be jokin'.
No, there's no mistake about it.
Snipers are people who just show up out of nowhere.
Hence the legend surroundin' the legendary man.
Thank you for makin' the long trip, my son.
Excuse me.
What is this?
Save the private chatter for your own time, Arumi Police.
I'm askin' you what this police business is about!
I'd like to introduce you to your partners.
Listen to what I'm sayin'!
A A!
Be Be!
No No!
Abeno Abeno Angels!
Abeno
Don't make me do somethin' so stupid!
She's got a slightly violent streak, but she's energetic.
Nice enthusiasm too.
Abeno Angels, presently heading out on our mission, sir!
Very good. Danger is dangerous. Be plenty careful.
Hold on a second there!
Excuse me...
Where are you going?!
Where do you think?
We're going to round up the Pelican Family.
They're still dealing in those repulsive goods!
How horrifying!
What repulsive goods?
Well, you should probably know about it ahead of time as well.
Yes, you should definitely know about it.
I agree, you ought to know about it.
Hurry up and tell me! It's buggin' me now!
The street price is 900 yen for a plate of three.
Escargot bourguignon.
With toast.
Just what I'd expect from you, Rugolgo.
You know what the deal is.
Aw, quit it.
This is the source of our capital.
Thanks to the snail prohibition,
the price for these guys has gone through the roof.
But business has been gettin' a little tough to conduct lately.
That's where you, the legendary sniper, Rugolgo, come in.
He's the target.
Chief of the Abenobashi Police.
Hey, it's Grandpa!
I get it. Grandpa and I are buddies,
so all I gotta do is ask him to let you guys cheat a little.
Like hell I'd ask the legendary sniper to do somethin' that an errand boy could do!
Then what? Do I gotta write a letter or somethin'?
You moron, you're a sniper, so of course you're gonna shoot him with your rifle!
Rifle?
That's just wrong!
There's nothin' wrong with that!
It is wrong! That's murder!
Murder?
How dare you make such a scandalous suggestion?!
Scandalous, nothin'. People die if you shoot 'em with a rifle!
Roger, roger. I most certainly accept the job, mariachi.
Who the hell're you?!
Oh, a real sniper must not stand out.
You're mega flashy.
Non, non, non. You, monsieur, are an imposter.
An imposter?!
Oui. I am the legendary sniper, Rugolgo. Enchanté.
You tricked us?!
Tricked you?! You guys got it all wrong on your own!
Oh, I know, he's gotta be the imposter!
Yeah, he's definitely suspicious!
He's supposed to be a legendary sniper,
but he's got an M16A assault rifle. That's not right!
Listen to me real good, Mrs. Asahina.
The lightweight bullets fired from this rifle's.223 caliber barrel
have a high initial velocity of 1,000 m/s,
but its practical range is only about 400 meters.
There is no way a pro would use this thing for snipin'!
Wow!
You shouldn't be impressed by that!
As a pro, I am very partial to this gun.
I see. That's the way you should be if you're a pro.
This rifle...
is just mega cool! Amore mio!
Moron.
Just which one's the real one?!
Be patient. We'll find out which one's real soon enough.
You first. Use this gun to hit that can.
Whoa!
It's a M2006M revolver made by Mateba!
Talk about hard core.
Listen to me real good, Mrs. Asahina.
This gun's made so you can easily remove this barrel
and switch it with another one.
And by havin' the hammer hit the bottom bullet in the cylinder,
it greatly reduces the recoil when you fire the gun.
That's what's special about this gun.
See? Ain't it great?
Yeah, for real!
Never mind that, just hurry up and shoot!
I hit it!
Wow! That was awesome! I hit it, I hit it! See? See? See?
Brilliant!
You're goin' to accept that?!
He did an amazin' job hittin' the target from that stance.
You're next.
Moron.
I believe the winner is me.
That was perfect!
That's ridiculous!
Even if his opponent was just a single can,
he thoroughly and mercilessly subdued it.
That's the spirit of a pro.
I will acknowledge him as the true legendary Rugolgo.
We have no use for an imposter legend.
You're kiddin' me!
I haven't done anythin'!
He shot me for real.
What the heck? My legs are so short.
I look like a dork.
The problem is,
we don't know where in that building Big Boss is hiding out.
This Boss is just gonna turn out to be Grandpa again, right?
I've already begun to see the pattern here.
You must not underestimate him!
Big Boss is the greatest villain in this town!
I see, so the villains in this town make money by sellin' snails.
What a stupid and peaceful town.
Couldn't they at least sell stag beetles?
This isn't good. We'll stand out if we're dressed like this.
Standin' out my butt!
Then why did we come out here dressed like such idiots to begin with?!
Mune-mune Police, I expected something like this might come up,
so I came prepared with a costume to infiltrate the place.
Good.
There's somethin' a little wrong with you guys! Think about it!
If you thought somethin' like this might come up,
you should put that outfit on from the start and...
That was very prudent of you, Sayaka Police.
Let's begin the operation immediately!
Listen to what I'm sayin'!
Huh?
What?
Don't tell me we're gonna change right here?!
What?! Stop!
Even grade school kids these days would not strip in a place like this, ladies!
Oh, wait!
No! Perverts!
Hey...
Hey, hey!
Hello? Don't just ignore me!
Pitiful fool.
It means you're finished once you've been turned into a comic relief character like that.
No one will take you seriously in this shoppin' arcade now.
Not ever.
Who're you callin' a comic relief character?!
I'm gonna hit you for that!
I...
Have short legs.
Come on, isn't Rugolgo a comic relief character too?
Settin' a bomb on that can was a gag routine, wasn't it?
You are?
How would you like to hear a song tonight?
A song?
You're gonna sing?
Would that displease you?
She looks so cool!
I'm so not cool.
For a sweet dream, a rouge ribbon
Encrusted with pearls
Cheap dreams... Please, not for me
Aim for my heart
Arumi... Aim for my heart
Arumi's turned into such a cool-lookin', mature girl,
Not silk dresses
of course she wouldn't take a comic relief character like me seriously. Not silk dresses
Fine then, see if I care.
Not diamonds
That man is not Big Boss. Not diamonds
That man is not Big Boss.
Not bouquets of roses
He is certain to be hiding here somewhere. Not bouquets of roses
I checked all the rooms on the second floor.
Not glass shoes
The only place left is up these stairs. Not glass shoes
Presents won't sway me
Bon appetite. Presents won't sway me "Have your fill."
Presents won't sway me
Huh? We didn't get hit!
This is my so-called "legend" or legend.
I will deliver the finishing blow now.
Rugolgo's been shot!
Such short legs.
Police! You're all under arrest!
Give up quietly!
Give up quietly?! Who d'you think you're talkin' to?!
I'll hold them off here!
Go after Big Boss!
All right! Thanks!
Oh, Sasshi, where have you gone?!
I've finally found you!
Hands in the air, Big Boss!
Rough and rude as ever, aren't you?
It wasn't even locked.
I'm placing you under arrest!
What will you do after you arrest me?
Why do you have to leave?
I've been waiting for you all this time.
All this time!
It is impossible to do things over.
What things?
Everything.
Everything?
Just like the movement of this planet,
the fate of humans cannot be altered.
Forever...
And that is what you mean by everything?
Everything there is the universe as you see it?
And my heart will pine for you in this hellishly hollow town,
forced to wander aimlessly forever.
That is everything there is of me.
Mune...
If I could share even a small part of the burden of your fate with you, I would.
But I already have my hands full dealing with my own fate. I'm sorry.
You can't!
Go downstairs and catch Masayuki.
No!
You are the only one I am after!
No! Don't go!
Mr. Abe...
What short legs.
I guess it doesn't hurt when you become a comic relief character.
It does too hurt!
What happened? Why're you so cute-lookin' now?
Adults have all sorts of circumstances to deal with!
You just look funny, even if you're tryin' to act cool.
Leave it!
Say, have you seen Sasshi anywhere?
I'm not in the mood for any of that right now!
That was the perfect spot for observing the stars.
It was a mistake to teach Masayuki the snail business.
This place is just too serious.
I'm moving to a more easygoing world!
Wait a minute!
Do us just one, just one favor!
We want to get back to our original world.
Didn't you get the goblins to take care of that?
I'm askin' you 'cause the goblins aren't reliable!
They always cut corners and every time we think we've gotten home,
we've been transported to someplace weird again.
Transported?
Well, yeah, and each one's weirder than the last.
Then the god Vishnu was summoned correctly.
If you're changing worlds, his power is manifesting itself,
even though the target location may be slightly off.
If corners were cut, you guys would have remained in that world.
Then why can't we get back home?
Because you guys don't want to go back home.
That's ridiculous! We do...
What? Could Sasshi be...
Oh, him.
For some reason, he has a more than casual connection with me.
But I can't have you guys getting attached to me because of that.
Wow, talk about an ugly Sasshi.
You guys definitely have quite a connection goin' there.
I can't stand having you guys scampering underfoot anymore!
Hurry up and go home!
I'm personally making the magic circle for you!
Even the Emperor doesn't get to experience this all that often.
If it was someone at the ministry level, I'd never do it for them!
Mister, what're ya mad about?
Well, of course he's in a sour mood.
He's got those short legs now.
But that goes for you too.
There, it's done.
You know the rest, right?
Man, thanks, Mister.
Thank you.
What?
No, nothin'.
Okay, shall we go back to our Abenobashi now?
This time...
Say, Sasshi?
Don't you think it's a little too bad?
About what?
Well, rather than go back to our own town,
it'd be sort of more fun if we got to go to all sorts of other worlds.
Don't you kinda think so?
Oh, you think so?
Actually, I was thinkin' it was fun too.
'Cause, you know, they've got my favorite things no matter where we go.
So, even when we're chantin' the spell to go home,
all I can think about is what's gonna show up next
and I get so excited each and every time.
It's just so fun!
Sasshi.
I've had a feelin' that this might be the case for a while,
but I wasn't quite sure about it.
But ya know, it's crystal clear to me now.
You're a moron!
Huh?
Every single time, we got transported to these weird worlds,
but it was all 'cause of you, wasn't it?!
Ah-ha, I see.
This is no time to be impressed!
Do you realize how much trouble you've put us through?!
I know what you're sayin', but...
What?
If we go back to the original Abenobashi, you're gonna move away, right?
So, what about it?
But we won't be able to see each other anymore...
What the heck? That can't be helped!
Can't be helped?
Arumi, you're okay with that?
Well, sure, I'm a little sad about it,
but it's already been decided.
But you know...
Don't sulk so blatantly!
Then, you're okay with bein' in these worlds forever?
These messed up worlds
where you don't even know what's going to happen tomorrow?
That's not exactly what I meant, but...
Well, if we're talkin' about if that kinda thing is totally bad,
I think it's got its own...
Make up your mind!
There's no point in bein' in these places forever, right?
You think so?
Don't consider it!
I want to go back to the world where everyone is normal.
And that's where I want to think about my family and my friends,
and about you, Sasshi.
Come on, let's go home.
Yeah.
Okay, I got it!
You're really somethin' Arumi.
This time, I'll make sure to only think about gettin' home.
Sasshi...
Well, are you ready?
All things extant in this world,
gods of Heaven, gods of Earth, let them be as they should be.
All things extant in this world,
gods of Heaven, gods of Earth, let them be as they should be.
All things extant in this world,
gods of Heaven, gods of Earth, let them be as they should be.
Thus shall it be.

You better knock it off already! Let's see, next time on Abenobashi...
We got sent to stupid worlds every time, and it was all your fault!
Yeah, who would've thought?
This is no time to be impressed! This is your problem too!
Now, now, it's all behind us now.
Anyway, about the next episode...
No, you're not gettin' off that easy.
But it wasn't like I was doin' it on purpose.
So, you can do anythin' as long as it's not on purpose?
Quit bein' so childish.
I am a child.
