Wow, what a surprise, huh?
That huge machine of Shinza's went berserk, but Sora managed to stop it.
Turns out, she really was a Princess Kaguya who fell from the moon.
"Tokin" Turns out, she really was a Princess Kaguya who fell from the moon.
But it's what came after that was the real tearjerker, wouldn'tcha say?
"Take a good look, Sora.
I'll show you that when the workin' people of Edo set their minds to somethin'. ..
there ain't nothin' we can't accomplish!"
You lay it on thick!
Yeah, but you know... I still wonder just who Sora really is.
I know all that stuff I said back there...
but the truth is, bein' able to fly ain't really that normal, is it?
"Rhyme and Reason" but the truth is, bein' able to fly ain't really that normal, is it?
"Rhyme and Reason" Well, there's a certain rhyme and reason to it, with the name Sora meaning " sky"
"Rhyme and Reason" and her bein' able to fly and all.
That's Sora true.
We sure Sora sight.
But you gotta be careful, man.
If she gets seen flyin' by anyone else, especially by that Hatchobori clown...
Exactly. Just like that.
There's another one! I found another leak!
And a copper coin for me.
"Kan'ei" " One" " Copper" " Era" And a copper coin for me.
"Kan'ei" " One" " Copper" " Era" Wow, it's so convenient havin' you around, Sora.
Would ya mind doin' my shoppin' for me once you're done up there?
Just a quick flight over and back.
Sure!
I said no no no no no no no no no...!
Come take me far away

There, there now. Don't cry. Don't cry.
See, that's a good boy. That's a good boy...
Hey.
Oh, officer...! You startled me.
It's so late...
Welcome home, dear.
Uh... hi.
This is just a little too bright and cheery for my taste, I gotta say.
I went ahead and prepared dinner for you, too.
Well, I guess it's at least lookin' a little tastier than before.
Here you go.
And what about mine...?
You...?
Oh, really? You wanna drink?
I think we should every now and again.
You know I don't drink that shit.
Right, I knew that. Got it right here.
I thought I told you I wanted a young woman.
C'mon, be reasonable. It's almost the harvest moon, so the nights are really bright.
Plus, all this talk of a bloodsuckin' monster keeps the young women off the streets.
Tonight I had to walk all the way to the edge of Zoshigaya just to find someone!
If you don't like it, I'm sure I could make do on your blood instead.
But isn't what I give you in return
pleasure beyond the wildest dreams of such a piddling civil servant?
So please...
...from now on, just keep up the good work... and do as I ask.
That felt so good.
When that woman...
I mean, when that sky beast barged into my apartment like that
I kept hopin' to throw her off guard somehow and score points by bringin' her in.
But I just got so scared...
I mean, it felt so good!
No, but I mean... I never got a chance to make a move, and now look at me.
But this time, I've had it up to here!
Men in Black, I have something to discuss with--
M-Mister City Commissioner...!
There was another beast-related killing in Zoshigaya, so I dispatched them to the scene.
As for you, put together a report
of all the locations where killings have taken place so far.
You had some sort of urgent matter to discuss...?
Uh... no, sir.
You can't just go hoppin' 'round flyin' in front of everyone like that!
But I feel bad for everyone in the row house... not being able to do anything...
But if that Hatchobori gets a glimpse, he's gonna do a lot worse than just bug us!
How's this one here, Seikichi?
Catch.
Ow! Hot hot hot hot hot...!
Yeah, looks good to me.
That won't work at all.
All that'll do is just let the explosion out, without any increase in pressure.
You have to shape it like a nozzle.
"Beware of Fires" You have to shape it like a nozzle.
"Beware of Fires" A puzzle...? Shaped like a puzzle...?
"Beware of Fires" Hey... Rokube just went to all the trouble of makin' this pipe for you!
"Beware of Fires" There's no need for that tone of voice.
I'm so sorry.
Ah, don't worry 'bout it. No good, eh?
Yet another " sorry"...
"Used Clothing"
There might still be some fragments we can use...!
Tell Torii about the woman or not...?
Tell. Don't tell. Tell. Don't tell.
"Maybe tell" "Tell" " Cover up" " Don't tell" "Think about it" " Eat lunch first" Tell. Don't tell. Tell. Don't tell.
"Maybe tell" "Tell" " Cover up" " Don't tell" "Think about it" " Eat lunch first" Tell...
"Maybe tell" "Tell" " Cover up" " Don't tell" "Think about it" " Eat lunch first"
Don't tell.
I'm off to buy lunch.
Go inside the City Commissioner's Office...?!
You know there's no way I can pull that off!
But those Men in Black guys... didn't they all just head out somewhere?
You've been keeping watch?!
All the pieces from my vessel... they're stored here, aren't they?
Your vessel...? You mean that fava bean you came here in?
Before too much time passes, I want to start making preparations to go home.
Home? You're... going home...?!
That's good news for you too, isn't it?
All the fragments we recovered from your vessel are in this shed.
What's wrong?
So we're both thinking the same thing.
I'm guessing you also want off this barbaric planet, and the sooner the better!
That's right... it's me, all right!
It's the other one...! The other sky beast!
What's wrong? Suddenly you don't need to capture me anymore?
You're not getting off that easy!
This is why I absorbed that other one... just for a situation like this!
She should be able to move around in my original form.
Are you... all right?
Go back? Are you absolutely certain about that, Bellybutton, sir?
It's the same M.O. We've confirmed it, so that's all we need.
My guess is, the beast plans to leave Edo and make its way along the Nakasendo route.
"Ebisu" " Shinagawa" " Oimachi" My guess is, the beast plans to leave Edo and make its way along the Nakasendo route.
"Ebisu" " Shinagawa" " Oimachi" Up until just a bit ago, the attacks were all centered around Shinagawa.
"Ikebukuro" " Sugamo" " Ueno" " Edo" Up until just a bit ago, the attacks were all centered around Shinagawa.
"Ikebukuro" " Sugamo" " Ueno" " Edo" And now there's one at Zoshigaya.
But while we're diverting our attention outside of Edo
what if the real beast is hiding right under our noses? Couldn't that be possible too...?!
Right now, the nozzle's more important...!
Hatchobori...!
Who're you callin' " Hatchobori" ?!
And what're you doin' anyway, Seikichi Tamaya?
I've been lookin' everywhere for Sora.
Sora...? Oh, you mean the new girl who just moved in, huh?
I wonder if that girl's got somethin' up her sleeve as well.
Hm... maybe I should take her in once just to be sure.
No, don't !
What?
Sora don't got nothin' to do with nothin' Stay away from her!
Is that an order boy?!
You piece of trash! Human garbage!
Little shit who's good for nothin' but causin' trouble!
How dare you give orders to me, a South Edo policeman?!
Well, boy?! Lemme hear it, then!
What's wrong? Don't have what it takes, boy?
I humbly apologize, Mister Akai!
I've misbehaved very badly. But Sora's honestly just a friend of the old man's
and he's just lookin' after her for a little while!
The old man...?! Why didn't you just say so in the first place?!
And next time you're out on the street, walk on the side, goddamnit!
Or better yet, don't be out on the street!
Seikichi...!
I know you did it for Sora's sake, but I'm proud of how you held your temper.
Nah, that ain't why. I did it for the sake of the rocket.
Don't tell no one about this, okay?
Those damn sky beasts... showing their ugly faces even in this place.
Now go!
Sorry about all that. I just lose my head whenever I see one of those cretins.
But you said yourself they're no better than human garbage.
From bizarre contraptions to fireworks to street performances...
they don't do a single worthwhile thing between the lot of 'em.
But for some reason they always look like they're havin' so much fun.
And meanwhile, I'm just some cop who's too poor to even hire a page.
I try to keep my head down and stay on the good side of those above me.
So why's this my life?! Where's my fun, huh?
No, I mean... these last two weeks've been different.
Ever since I met you, I've been killin' people without anyone even noticin'.
Right under the nose of the City Commissioner,
and even that Ginjiro doesn't suspect a thing!
Yeah, I'm ... right now I'm havin' a good time bein' me.
Just as I suspected-- right under our noses.
Hey, sky beast!
Ginjiro!
Say your prayers!
Is this the weapon you used to gouge out the throats of innocent townsfolk?!
Is that the mouth you used to suck out their blood?!
No! That wasn't me!
Bellybutton, sir!
Sora, what're you...?
Oh hi, Ginjiro.
What're you doin', way back here?
I got lost.
By the way, I just ran into some weird beast.
A beast...?
I think it's still around here somewhere. You should hurry and chase after it.
Okay.
And... I suppose that story's enough to fool the likes of guys like Seikichi.
Tell me, how did you know I was chasing the beast?
Maybe the whole reason we haven't been able to catch it
is because it's blended in with human society.
Maybe even posing as a woman who can fly...
The jitte hook... did it hurt?
Ginjiro...
The sky beast... it was you all along.
No, Ginjiro!
That was my... that is what I look like when I fight, it's true, but...!
I haven't been attacking anyone! That was the work of a criminal from my planet!
I was chasing her when I came here!
But you deceived us. You tricked me... and Seikichi too.
Sky beast, you're under arrest!
Don't move!
This is my responsibility. Stand back and let me handle it.
I said don't move!
You have to trust me.
Bellybutton, sir.
You have to trust me.
The blue one's the tougher of the two!
Everyone attack all at once!
Sir!
Wait!
Killing just one of those things is plenty good for now.
Unless we burn the body right away, we can't be sure it won't revive itself again.
I see.
Medicine for your scratches.
Aren't you going home? Back to the row house...?
It's okay with you if I go back there?
You were chasing the blue beast, weren't you?
So you'll trust me, then?
But we've killed it now.
So I guess that ends your responsibility.
That was just one split of her body.
When she crash-landed on this planet, she divided her body into several pieces
in order to distribute the impact among all the pieces.
So you're sayin' there's more of those blue beasts?
And until I've killed all of them... I need you to let me stay here!
Huntin' and killin' sky beasts...
is the first job I've had in a long time that's actually been worth doin'.
So I'm gonna help you.
Okay.
So once that's done, you'll just go back home in your rocket?
My people have a base on the moon. From there I'll head for my homeworld.
The truth is, I wish I could go home right now.
I really wanna go home.
I think it's probably best if you don't tell Seikichi that.
Or... anything about this other life of mine either.
You mean " Bellybutton" ?
Don't call me that!
But why " Bellybutton" ? Do you have a big outie or something?
N-No I don't ! And if you keep it up with that attitude...
I'm gonna spill the beans about you!
Yeah, just try it.
Then I'll spill the beans about you too... about your big outie!
It's not an outie! Wait, that's not even the point!
If I'd backed up the blue beast back there, I would've come under suspicion.
I know that.
Before long I'll be able to turn back into my original form.
Once that happens...
You... you'll go back to your planet?
l-I mean... if you don't mind, why don't you just stay here instead?
We could be together from now on.
What are you talking about?
I'm off to get some more blood.
Some more blood for you.
Look, it's completely round!
Oh hey, you... listen, I'm sorry...
Oh, look! She's back!
See? Didn't I tell you there was nothing to worry about?
Seikichi...
Look at this, Seikichi. Here, take a look!
Wh-What happened?!
He said he was out on a walk thinkin' about stuff, and fell off a bridge.
--That ain't it! He fell off 'cuz he ain't got no head for thinkin' --Mm-hm... that really does happen, you know.
--That's right! 'Cuz that head of his is full of gunpowder! --Mm-hm... that really does happen, you know.
Hey guys, are you gonna go to the concert tomorrow?
Seikichi... here.
What's this?
Wait, is this a " nozzle"...?
Oh, now I see.
We can use this to focus the power of the explosion and make it shoot out all at once!
"Roku" We can use this to focus the power of the explosion and make it shoot out all at once!
"Roku" Hey, Rokube!
Huh?
You think you can make us a tile shaped like this?
Lemme have a look.
Hey Sora, what happened to your arm?
Me too. I fell down.
Hey, that's no good! You gotta be more careful!
Big brother, let's try doing a test launch with this shape!
Hehe! Guess I'll try makin' one first thing tomorrow!
Thanks a bunch, Rokube!
And Sora, I'm gonna do my best, too!
This fireworks rocket...
We're gonna get it all the way to the moon, just you wait and see!
All right, let's do it!
Me too! I'm givin' it all I got!
Don't forget me!
The moon...
