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!
Yes, you have every right to be angry...
We will take care of it immediately.
Yes, the police will do all they can to arrest them...
We're very sorry!
Thank you very much for your input.
Bokuto Police at Wit's End Joyriders Escape Again
Can Anything Be Done About the Joyriders?
Episode 21 Vigilante Racer Part 1
They're terrible, aren't they?
They drive as if they own the road!
This has been going on every weekend for nearly a month.
The residents don't feel safe...
Who are those guys?! Are you really chasing after them?!
I can't sleep with all that noise!
How long are you going to let them get away with this?!
Do something!
But with the phones ringing off the hook, we hardly have time to use the restroom.
They've been ringing all morning...
They're stopping cars in order to clog up the streets on purpose.
They know our patrol cars won't pursue them.
Damn it! They're mocking us!
It ticks me off!
The next time they show up, we'll haul their butts in for sure!
You said it!
She's right!
Let's do it!
Chief, please let us do it!
Please put us on night patrol duty!
We want to do something about them before there's more collateral damage.
Nakajima, are you okay with it?
I'm talking about Officer Kobayakawa.
Regardless of how serious she is,
she might get hurt if she's caught in a skirmish with the joyriders.
We might be rational...
Youthful days omoide ga afurete The days of my youth are full of memories
but those joyriders have lost it. Youthful days omoide ga afurete The days of my youth are full of memories
If they swipe her, her mini-patrol car doesn't stand a chance. Youthful days omoide ga afurete The days of my youth are full of memories

Seiippai ni hohoende tsurakutemo We did our best to smile
Kindly leave the joyriders to us Motorcycle Police. Seiippai ni hohoende tsurakutemo We did our best to smile
Why? Don't you think we can do the job? Seiippai ni hohoende tsurakutemo We did our best to smile

Anyway, I want you to be careful too, Nakajima! Taisetsu na mono wo nakushite But when they lose something precious
Sure. You can count on me! Taisetsu na mono wo nakushite But when they lose something precious
Soshite sono omosa ni setsunai hodo namida suru They become so distressed by the weight of it
See you... Soshite sono omosa ni setsunai hodo namida suru They become so distressed by the weight of it
Soshite sono omosa ni setsunai hodo namida suru That they shed tears
What is the matter with me?
I feel sorry for Nakajima...
You do?
He's concerned in his own way that something might happen to you.
I know that.
But I can't let people who use cars as weapons run loose!
I understand how you feel, but...
Remember that movie we saw together a long time ago?
The one about the police officer who eliminated wrongdoers in the name of justice?
What brought that up?
Naturally, that can't be condoned...
Of course not!
But there are those who won't obey the rules no matter how hard we enforce them.
There are times when I think that they'll never disappear
unless we fundamentally change our methods...
Does that sound crazy?
No, not at all.
But if we arrest violators according to our moods,
no one would talk to police officers or ask for our help.
That's true... They'd fear us and run away...
They wouldn't cooperate with us anymore.
That would be a sad thing to happen...
Bokuto Police Station to all patrol cars.
Three joyriders have entered the street fronting the train station.
Two motorcycle officers are in pursuit.
Provide immediate backup!
We've got you bastards now!
Be careful, Samejima...
Drivers in the intersection!
Emergency vehicle coming through!
Clear the intersection right away!
They're out of their minds!
The joyriders caused this jam.
This pisses me off! Are they going to get away again?!
Is that one of them?!
What is that?!
Are you all right, Samejima?!
Yeah. Just barely...
Wh-what happened here?!
Did that red car do this?
Recently, late-night joyriders have become a major problem.
Last night, a single car punished joyriders as they sped through the city streets.
The joyriders lost control as they raced the streets,
flipping over and colliding before demolishing one another.
The driver appeared to be targeting and hunting down the joyriders.
Who could the driver be?
Appearing and disappearing out of nowhere,
this car has quickly earned the nickname "Red Phantom" and has become the talk of the younger set.
Jeez, they just say anything they want!
Here, they're calling him the "Antihero of the Traffic Wars".
Man, who are they kidding?!
What he's doing is no different than the joyriders.
What's scary is that the rumors have taken on a life of their own, and we're at their mercy.
Exactly, Kobayakawa.
The greater-than-expected public outcry
is forcing Bokuto Station to come up with ways to deal with them.
But no matter what happens, we must remain calm.
Regardless of what the media and people say,
the mystery car is breaking the law, just like the joyriders.
I want you all to exercise caution and not be swayed by silly rumors or untruths.
That's what Chief said, but we can't let this go on.
Don't you agree, Miyuki?
Of course!
He may have acted like a hero and chased off the joyriders, but he involved innocent people.
And on top of that, there are going to be others out to compete with that hero.
If we allow that, the roads at night could become a lawless zone!
One crime leads to another...
Red Phantom, my ass! He pisses me off!
Kissing ass to the cops! Screw him!
Those were our friends he took out!
We're not men if we don't get our revenge!
What?!
I've been waiting for you!
The red car is currently fleeing via the highway along the river.
We'll be blocking the highway ahead of him.
We request that patrol cars in the vicinity control traffic to prevent cars from entering the highway.
Nakajima, can you manage?
Leave it to me!
Once I've chased him to the roadblock, he'll be trapped like a rat!
I can't allow him to roam freely any longer for Kobayakawa's sake!
Nakajima, try and catch me in the name of the law!
You can't get away!
Get out of the car and do as you're told!
What?!
Stop!
D-damn it!
Is that true, Nakajima?!
Yeah, the red car broke through our barricade and headed toward the industrial zone!
He's probably trying to get off the highway to make his escape!
Got it. The industrial zone.
I'm sorry I let down my guard...
This time, we'll catch the red car for sure!
The honor of Bokuto Station Traffic Section is at stake!
We came out without Chief's permission...
If we waste time, they'll get away!
I don't want to be frustrated anymore!
Let's go, Natsumi!
Darn!
No way!
N-Nakajima!
Due to the large number
Wasn't it the same red car?
The Red Phantom appeared again, didn't he?
We are in the process of confirming that.
Were the victims joyriders again?
Do you at least have some idea of who the driver is?
Joyriders were not the only victims.
Several police officers at the scene were also injured.
Do you have a specific plan to prevent any further incidents?
Of course. We are working on that as we speak.
We will inform you the minute those plans are decided.
Damn that bastard!
I'm not about to give up just because of this little thing!
Right, everyone?
Does it hurt?
Don't worry. I'm fine!
They say that when a bone breaks it becomes stronger when it mends.
I might even become a better rider once it heals!
What could that red car's objective be?
Do you suppose he has a personal grudge against joyriders?
Even if he does, we still can't allow him to get his revenge like that!
I'm going to get him before copycats start appearing.
You all won't have to do anything for a while.
Chief! What do you mean?
This isn't just our problem anymore.
Headquarters will issue specific orders regarding this matter.
Are they taking issue with the way we handled it?
I apologize for acting without your permission.
But don't we have a duty to demonstrate to those who break the law that we are not powerless?
Miyuki...
Kobayakawa...
What are you trying to say?
The reality is that there have been numerous victims and the police are losing the public trust.
If we become afraid to fight to regain that trust, we'll only be empowering the perpetrators!
Miyuki, stop it...
You want us to sit back and watch the next time they show up again without a good explanation?
I can't accept that!
Kobayakawa...
Yes, Sir!
Remember those feelings and hold on to them...
There'll come a time when you'll need them.
Until then, do as I say.
Why don't we call it a night?
Why don't you go ahead and change. I'm almost done...
Okay, I'll see you.
I'll catch that guy in the red car, even if it costs me my job.
When I took this job, I swore an oath that I'd punish crimes in the name of the law.
Letter of Resignation
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
Say, what do Natsumi and Miyuki do about their meals?
I think Miyuki makes them.
Natsumi eats a lot, so Miyuki says she's worth cooking for.
Natsumi is almost like Miyuki's husband!
She's a formidable rival to Nakajima.
Nakajima should go and live with them!
There you go again.
