We have an unwavering bond
You are one of a kind. You're my best buddy
I don't need brakes
A sign of invincibility. Full throttle
The asphalt spread out
Happy-go-lucky blue skies
Trouble happens every day
Take aim, and start the ignition!
Our eye contact
Creates mighty power
Wherever we go, we are unrivaled
We won't give up so easily!
It can't be measured
In terms of love and romance
We're a team without vague rules
We have an unwavering bond.
You are one of a kind. You're my best buddy
Even when walking a tightrope
If you speed up, it's checkmate!
I need to go on a diet.
Natsumi's so lucky.
She can eat anything without putting on weight.
Where do you suppose it all goes?
In Natsumi's case, she burns off the calories right after she eats.
Done! Ate it all!
I envy her metabolism...
It must be nice to be like that...
Do you think she could use some of my calories?
Oh, Mr. Tokuno...
Somebody gave me these, so I'm giving them to you as a snack.
Taiyaki Koganeya
Are those what I think they are?
Taiyaki from Koganeya!
Episode 3 The Powerful, No-Parking Wrestler!
Awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome!
These are really hard to get!
I've always wanted to try them! What a treat!
Are those taiyaki that awesome?
Apparently.
Every day, there are long lines and two-hour long waits.
They look like ordinary taiyaki to me.
That's where you're wrong, Nakajima.
Chief?
The outside is crisp and flavorful, and the filling is made using only beans from Hokkaido.
It's got a mildly sweet, refined taste...
It's the quintessential taiyaki.
Is that so?
I didn't know you had such a sweet tooth.
I'll try one.
Me, too.
Me, too!
Me, too.
Okay, I'll have one, too.
Well then, I'll have one.
Don't mind if I do...
I-I don't think there's anything wrong with having just one.
You think so?
There it is!
The thing you should never say when you're on a diet!
A single taiyaki has about 300 calories.
I don't care!
I'd be happy to put on weight from a Koganeya taiyaki!
Delicious!
Exquisite...
KOGANEYA
Yeah... And then...
Taiyaki Yeah... And then...
Taiyaki
I found the most wonderful nail salon...
I want an opponent...
My body yearns for action...
Chime nareba tabi no start At the sound of the chime, our journey begins
Kaban nagete soto e Toss your bag outside
Chanto suki to ieru kyou wa Today, I'm able to tell you I love you
Kimi to yakusoku no hashi e I'm going to the bridge where we promised we'd meet
How nostalgic...
I know what you mean.
Makes you feel like we're finally home!
Hashi wo watari kimi to hashiru Running across the bridge with you
Ikou yakusoku no michi wo Let's go down the path we promised we'd take
That taiyaki sure was delicious.
You know it's good if Yoriko had her eyes on the shop.
No Crossing
I wish I could've eaten more.
No Crossing Say, why don't we stop by on our patrol?
I'm for that. Let's change our route a bit.
Who could've done this?
Damn! What the hell is this?!
Did someone call the police?
Who knows?
What's that? Is that the line for the taiyaki shop?
The shop's a bit further down, so I don't think it is...
An accident perhaps?
Could be.
Excuse us, step aside!
What's going on?
See for yourself!
THIS IS A NO-PARKING ZONE!
NO PARKING!!
NO-PARKING FIRE!
"No-Parking Fire"?
And what lousy penmanship...
It looks like a dangerous work of art...
Somebody do something!
My poor, poor, Por-Por!
Por-Por?
Oh, that's your Por-Por over there.
How long were your cars parked here?
A-about an hour...
Just a short while... not very long...
This area has very little parking.
So all of this happened during that time?
Regardless, this is a no-parking zone.
You can't park here.
We're sorry... But that's going too far.
THIS IS A NO-PARKING ZONE!
That's it, lower it slowly!
Okay!
Amazing...
She's a genuine human tow truck.
That's so cool!
Who is that policewoman?
We're done. Now please clear the area right away.
My work is done!
That woman's strong...
She's no ordinary woman!
Those calories certainly have no time to stay inside of you.
What's the matter?
I just sensed an intense fighting spirit!
Fighting spirit?
What's this awful penmanship?
It was at the scene of the crime. We think it's from the culprit.
There are two more.
Never mind...
That's kind of creepy.
Is that written in blood?
We checked. It's just paint, the kind that grade schoolers use.
Then is the culprit a grade schooler? Of course not, right?
But what he did is childish.
You need a lot of power to stand up cars along the wall like that.
Could he have used a mini backhoe or something?
We didn't see anything at the scene to suggest that.
Then did he do it using his own strength?
Sounds fun! I want to take him on!
It's not a contest.
Yes, sir.
But something needs to be done...
Leave it to us!
I'll win the first round when we return to the scene!
I just told you not to compete with him.
Just In MIDDAY MYSTERY! STANDING CARS?! Contributed on 04-17 The scoop! Cars suddenly standing on end in Tokyo! Is this an act of guerrilla art? Or is this an alien monument? This is a picture from Tanuki, Tokyo Investigative Squad Member 00125,who happened to be at the scene. According to Tanuki, it happened near a taiyaki stand that is famous in Tokyo for its long lines. For some reason, all the cars targeted were luxury cars. Is this a coincidence?
NO-PARKING FIRE!
Is the culprit a horror buff?! Messages written in blood!
Beware When Buying Taiyaki!! Beware! Victim A
Could there be a connection with the long lines at the store?
Miyuki!
Did you learn anything?
I interviewed a lot of people.
According to the owner of Koganeya,
the cars were targeted while the customers were standing in line for taiyaki.
There's a long wait, so they were all reading or listening to music, and didn't notice anything.
I knew it...
What's our culprit like?
Well...
First, going by how our culprit denounced parking violations,
I'm certain that he lives in the vicinity.
Another possibility is that he resents the popularity of Koganeya's taiyaki.
Or maybe he just wants to show off his strength.
I'm that way too...
There are moments when I have more energy than I know what to do with!
I-Is that how it is?
It doesn't matter what.
I just feel like picking something up and tossing it, you know!
Isn't that unique to you, Natsumi?
Damn... My body aches for action...
But that's no excuse for doing that to cars.
True, the cars parked on the street are in violation of the law,
but he needs to let us take care of enforcement.
Notice something?
The condo in this photo... Here.
It was a mere accident.
I can still do it...
I haven't burned out yet!
Ready?
Let's go!
Will No-Parking Fire appear?
Probably.
I hope they catch him...
The owner of Koganeya is so worried, he can't concentrate on his work.
He says he can't make as many taiyaki as he'd like.
Furthermore, he can only make a limited number each day.
If his production drops, it'll affect his sales.
That's a problem...
Taiyaki
As always, there's a huge line...
But that plays right into the culprit's plans.

Natsumi...
Wait!
What is it?
I sensed it again... that intense fighting spirit...
They're not taking away my reason for living!
No-Parking Fire isn't showing up...
Maybe he saw us and got cold feet.
But we can't stay here forever... What're we going to do?
Koganeya's going to sell out soon, so let's leave for today.
What about those illegally parked cars?
They're our bait, so we can't ticket them, can we?
Oh, that's right...
What was that?!
What's going on?
We have a situation!
No-Parking Fire has appeared!
He's back!
We've been waiting for that!
What's going on, everyone?
A walking car?!
Wh-what's going on?
We've got to stop it!
Okay!
Natsumi!
Darn you!
Amazing! A sumo match against a car and a human!
Way to go, Lady!
Don't give in! Push it back!
Not bad...
I'm not gonna lose!
This can't be! I'm getting pushed back?!
Give up and let go of the car!
Natsumi! Hang in there!
Go! Just a little more!
Dammit! How can such a gorilla woman exist?!
G-g-gorilla, you say?!
She did it!
For now...
Yay!
Damn! That woman's going to regret this!
That's as far as you go, No-Parking Fire!
It's game over. Give up!
I-I... haven't burned out yet!
Oh no!
Huh?
Miyuki!
It's over...
Interrogation Room
Why'd you do it?
Interrogation Room
I know about you.
You were a hero to the children. You were really cool.
You'd get beaten down, but you'd always rise again like a Phoenix.
You were Condor Tiger, the human fighting machine...
Isn't that right?
How does Tokuno know that?
He says he was a fan...
You're making a mistake. I'm not Condor Tiger...
Not after being driven out of the ring... my purpose in life...
And I lost to that woman.
I'm a paper tiger stripped of its wings.
Don't give me that!
You've got a splendid body, so stop feeling sorry for yourself!
Your fighting spirit was real!
Neither your fangs nor your wings have been broken!
If you have time to flip cars just to blow off steam,
use that power of yours for something better!
She's right...
I agree with her, Condor Tiger.
It's a shame for someone of your ability to just waste away.
Would you mind letting us find you something?
I think there's somebody nearby who could use your strength.
He's so fast!
At that speed, we could make hundreds in a day.
Yes. We're lucky to have him.

I search through my pockets
And take out my only red apple
Without hesitation I place it
In the hands of my other half
I want to be so kind
The opposite of bravado
When we quietly place our backs
Against each other
It feels like we've become a complete person
We play with sparklers out of season
Stay with me until the small flame goes out
Under the moonlight
Yoriko, this is going to sound like an odd question, but do you like reptiles?
Like snakes and frogs?
Yes, because there's...
I know!
There's a restaurant that just opened that serves alligator!
Let's go, let's go!
Why're you backing away?
Because there's a frog there!
Why didn't you say that in the first place?!
