Whoa!
Coo coo.
It just broke when it fell, that's all. But it withstood the heat.
Nice goin'
That's 'cuz I made it sturdier than a roof tile!
What about my devices?!
What about my carpentry?!
"Gimme praise!" " Gimme praise!" What about my carpentry?!
"Gimme praise!" " Gimme praise!" --Yeah yeah? Yeah yeah? --Eh? Eh? Eh? Eh?
"Gimme praise!" " Gimme praise!" --Yes, yes! Both of you guys did great! --Yeah yeah? Yeah yeah? --Eh? Eh? Eh? Eh?
But still... I dunno if I can keep this up.
This here frazzle thingamajiggy...
You mean " nozzle."
Right, right... the puzzle. This thing takes one helluva lotta effort to make!
But if they're just gonna get broken in half like this, well...
Oh...
That's true...
Stop talkin' so stingy 'bout things!
But I get what he means. It's the same with me.
I keep buildin' all these mechanisms, but day after day after day after day after day...!
Houston. Hou-kaboom. Houston. Hou-kaboom.
Houston. Hou-kaboom.
--Houston... --All right, shut up!
What's this, " Houston we have a problem" ?! Is this the Apollo Program?!
Seikichi, that's from a different point in history.
We just need to test more, that's all. Isn't that right, Sora?
Coo. Coo.
Sora...?
Come take me far away
"Oh! Edo Rocket"
Artificial shooting stars made with tricks
Asia is all the rage these days
Take me away anytime
Take me far away
The Yokocho, the sushi stands, the Kaminari
The great international city of Edo
Take me all the way there
Take me far away
Up in the sky just after the rain
Way way up high
The Holy Sun smiles down upon us
Take me someplace far
Take me far away
I looked up from the roof of the castle
And the full moon was shining so pretty
At times like those
The tears come dripping out
Just kidding, it's all lies
Take me far away
What a greasy man.
So you can't just eat tempura, huh?
It's not the blood I'm enjoying here.
It's the life... by taking the life of intelligent beings inside of me...
...I become more and more evolved.
I remember you tellin' me you were a fugitive. So in your hometown--
er, I mean, on your homeplanet, you did the same kind of thing...?
If you'd ever heard about the crimes I've committed...
...you wouldn't be standing there talking to me like that, I guarantee you.
We about done here?
Thanks for dinner.
The body's still warm. It's gotta be close by!
A man this time, huh?
At this point, I think it's just grabbin' people at random.
We gotta hurry and catch it!
I guess you found me, huh?
Why do you persist in doing this?!
Life tastes good... it's an irresistible flavor.
I'm going to capture you, and then I'm going home!
How do you plan to do that? It's not like we have any spaceships.
Oh, I see... you're planning on getting them to make you one!
In that case, I'll be taking it for myself.
I'm not going to let that happen!
Sorry to disappoint, but as long as I'm in this form, I can do things like this...!
Help me! Somebody help me!
There's a monster...!
Sora, it's you!
That scream just now... did you just scare someone or something?!
No.
Never mind, but we can't have you lookin' like that!
You have to change back to your original form.
My... original form...?
That girl... she's the new girl at your row house, isn't she?
Yeah. Seems she ran into a sky beast and passed out or somethin'.
She hasn't seen my face, so I'm just gonna take her home like this.
Now hold on! I know for a fact the scream we just heard didn't come from her!
It was a more... uh, mature woman. You know, a... sexier one...!
Hmm... but there's no one else in the area.
Oh yeah?
Coo. Coo... coo-coo... coo...
What's the deal with this room?
What's this...?
Genzo? Couldn't tell ya. Wonder where he's off to...
He does this kinda thing all the time. Don't worry... he'll be back soon enough.
Genzo...? Where've I heard that name before?
I swear! You people are all so cold!
Oh! Hi, Shunpei!
Coo coo coo... coo-coo-coo...
Cooooo!
Coo. Coo coo.
Coo... coo coo coo coo.
"Let the circle be given as shown." "Question: Obtain the quarter-circle ratio..." Coo... coo coo coo coo.
"Answer: Take square root of Two and label A; add square root of Two and label B; add square root of Two and label C." Coo... coo coo coo coo.
"Answer: Take square root of Two and label A; add square root of Two and label B; add square root of Two and label C." Coo. Coo...? Coo...
"Obtain as follows: Circle ratio = 3.14159265358979323846..." Coo. Coo...? Coo...
"Obtain as follows: Circle ratio = 3.14159265358979323846..." Coo... coo...
Hey, you... you there!
Did you write all that...?!
Coo!
Don't see this kinda thing too often.
Hey there, let's be friends! From now on, you're gonna be...
...my buddy Tsuneo!
Coo coo coo... coo.
Coo...!
Whoa! That dove ain't no regular dove!
He knows mathematics!
Eh?!
You don't s'pose...?!
Genzo?! But how'd he turn into a dove?
It's gotta be the old man again...!
Ah, now that you mention it...
I do have a machine for turnin' people into doves, don't I?
Well then, hurry up and turn him back into himself.
Coo. Coo!
Hey! Hold on! Wait, goddamnit!
You...! You ain't gettin' away from me!
I guess Gin never gets home 'til mornin', but now Sora too...?!
What the hell's she off doin', anyway?!
--Hey you! What the hell do ya think you're doin' ! --Looks like Rokube and the wife are at it again...
--I already told you! Nag nag nag! --Looks like Rokube and the wife are at it again...
"I told you" ain't gonna cut it this time, you good-for-nothin'. ..!
Just how many of those goddamn pots are you gonna make?!
They ain't pots! They're frazzles!
Ask me if I care! Listen here, you!
We ain't got a grain of rice or a drop of soy sauce in this entire house!
But we got a dream! We got our dream of launchin' that rocket with Seikichi!
Oh, big dreams, huh?! Well, dreams ain't gonna fill our bellies!
Hey, Sora...!
Whoa, watch your step there.
Oh, I'm all right now. You must be tired, Ginjiro.
Oh, Seikichi!
What the hell?! The two of you out together again...?
Oh hey, whoa there... this ain't , uh... I mean, you know...
Gin, I've heard enough of your stupid bullshit explanations to last a lifetime.
What's wrong with you, Seikichi? Why are you mad again?
Because I'm mad!
Don't get the wrong idea, man! Sora and I just bumped into each other out there...!
That ain't the problem! You know Sora ain't just some normal person!
What are we gonna do if she goes out wanderin' around
and ends up havin' to use some weird power of hers
and people start thinkin' she's Princess Kaguya or some shit? What then, huh?!
Seikichi... you think I'm weird?
You think I'm ... not a normal person?
But... what I mean is...!
Hey!
Gin, c'mon...!
The fact that you're so worried about Sora
is something she understands better than anyone else, you know.
Well, I ain't gonna say sorry!
The blame falls on the one who was out all night havin' a good time!
Hm?
Huh?
Shit, I know that voice...
Eh?!
Wha... what the hell's that?!
Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo cooooo!
Coo coo! Coo coo! Coo coo cooooo!
Yeeeeeeee-haaaaaaaa!
C'mere, birdie!
What was that?!
What the hell's goin' on out here?!
Who the hell are you?!
Huh?
You mean me? My name's Tets--
Tetsuju the Human Fuse!
Sonuvabitch! What's the big idea?!
Eh?
Well, if it ain't Tamaya! You sure got a shabby-lookin' storefront here, bub.
This here's a row house!
You came here to see me? What the hell for?!
That ain't it! I just came for the dove!
Coo.
Dalah?!
Dalah!
--Dadda laddaddah! Daladdaddah daladdalah! --Daddalah! Daddalah dalah dalah!
--That was it? Just some friend of Sora's ...? --Dalalah dalalah dalalanda! --Daddah daddah dah!
--Well, guess that explains the weirdness. --Dalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalah... --Kakoobay senee zoombay tsumbay!
--C'mon, let's go back to bed. --lalalalalalalalalah! --Daddalah dalah!
Coo coo?! Coo...
Hmmm... so he's usin' fireworks to push the boat forward.
Right! And that thing goes faster than the wind!
It's an old secret passed down in our clan for gener--
I've seen that somewhere before! I think it was some guy named Nobuhiro Sato...
Sato?
He came up with the idea of using jet fireworks to propel a boat.
It's called the Self-Propelled Fireboat.
"Collection of War Studies" It's called the Self-Propelled Fireboat.
"Collection of War Studies" Well, ain't no makin' it to the moon in that thi...
"Collection of War Studies" Wait a sec...
What is it, big brother?
We sure met in a crazy place the other day, didn't we?
Huh? What this about a crazy place...?
Don't play dumb with me! You were wearing a strange mask.
Oh that, huh? Well, I'm workin' a part-time job right now, so you know...
I gotta wear that on the roof of some department store and go "Ya!" "Yo!" and stuff.
Silver Fox.
That's a name I don't very much care to hear.
There's someone who wants to speak with you.
Now, where've I heard that before?
The Silver Fox...?
Yes, sir.
He's being exceedingly irresponsible as far as the sky beast search is concerned...
and I believe he may have infiltrated the Men in Black for ulterior motives.
He may have been a thief, but he sees himself as a champion of the poor.
And the reason he joined the Men in Black
was because of the mysterious powers he possesses, which he sees as his very destiny
and which he wishes to make use of in order to better serve his fellow man.
I see...
Are you aware, Akai, that for the most part,
wars and great evils and things of that nature
are caused by men who believe they are acting to save the world or to help other people?
"Dried Foods" " Dried Shrimp" "Dried Foods" " Proprietor"
"Sweets"
"Dumplings"
Heave ho! Heave ho! Heave ho!
Heave ho! Heave ho! Heave ho! Heave ho!
"Fine 'Do's " Heave ho! Heave ho! Heave ho! Heave ho!
"Fine 'Do's at Kanda Checkpoint" Heave ho! Heave ho! Heave ho! Heave ho!
"Fine 'Do's at Kanda Checkpoint" It's a bit colder now, so just even up the neckline, okay?
"Fine 'Do's at Kanda Checkpoint" Oh, and don't shave off the sideburns, either. I want the shaved part...
--to look all tight and modern, okay? --It's Left Gate Guard Lieutenant Toyama!
I knew it!
Sit down and get yourself done, too. Those bangs of yours are obnoxious.
Mister Commissioner...
You get all pissy when people call you that, don't you... Kin?
Nope, I think you better call me " Commissioner" today.
Silver Fox... how'd a man like you ever get sucked into being that monster's pawn?
It stinks!
It stinks! It stinks! It stinks! It stinks!
That stuff... that's everyone's pee-pee and poo-poo, isn't it?
Usually we get some farmers from Kawagoe to come around and buy it off of us.
Really?
But this time Seikichi and the others said they'd carry it away for us...
so this deal just keeps gettin' sweeter all the time, baby!
You're greedier than I thought.
All right, we'll be back in just a bit!
Pointing the rockets sideways for the jet test is such a smart idea!
And as long as we're on the water, there ain't nothin' to catch fire, neither.
I hate to admit it, but this is the second time I've learned somethin' from Tetsuju.
What's all this manure?
Oh, that's in case we get caught by the Hatchobori.
This way we can just pretend we're on our way with a load of manure, right?
And besides, there ain't no one curious enough to get close to a manure boat.
That's true.
Seikichi...
Right, let's do this!
Okay.
The jet's workin' Now we just see if it stabilizes!
Hmm... so that's what he was doin', huh?
Well, watch this!
Tetsuju?!
Outta my way!
Hee-yah!
You got some big balls, challengin' the master here to a fireworks competition!
Well it's on now, Seikichi Tamaya.
Whoa, wait! What the hell are you doin' !
Whoa!
Eh?!
Seikichi!
B-Big brother...!
Here we go! Here we go! Here we go!
Let's see who's faster now, Tamaya!
H-He thinks it's a race...?!
What the hell's he thinkin' ! Stupid asshole!
It's a race! It's a race! It's a race!
One winner, one loser!
Shunpei, you gotta jump out right now!
Huh?! But what about you?!
The nozzle's too hot to touch. My ass might get blown sky high if I stay on this boat...
...but I'm comin' home with that nozzle no matter what!
But that's craz...!
Bye!
Tricky little bastard! Tryin' to win the race by lightenin' the load, eh?!
That ain't it! And this ain't even a race!
It's just a goddamn ignition test!
Listen up! First one who makes it to the mouth of the river gets to serve the princess!
What...?!
Hey, I'm the one who's makin' the rocket for Sora!
So you accept, eh?
This race is mine!
You goddamn cheater!
Seikichi!
No, Sora! You can't !
But what about Seikichi?! If that nozzle blows loose somehow, he'll go with it...!
There are too many people here. If you start flying around now...
...you'll get caught by the Hatchobori for sure!
And if that happens, we won't be able to stay together anymore!
We're not normal like other people, you know!
"We"...?!
Uh... no, I mean...!
Bow wow! Woof! Woof!
Seikichi...!
I've heard all about you.
You were operating behind the scenes during Heihachiro Oshio's uprising in Osaka, right?
Oshio...? You mean that major criminal?
Give it a rest.
People like us, and former South Edo City Commissioner Yabe, as well...
...we all thought Oshio was justified in doing what we did.
We think the powers that be right now are harassing the people just a little too much.
Well lessee, I wonder which City Commissioner it was, then
who ran that poor theater company out of town
all the way out to the rice paddies of Asakusa, just 'cuz they accidentally caused a fire.
Hey, there was nothing else I could do.
And if I hadn't , we wouldn't even have any theater in Edo at all.
But c'mon, let's knock it off with all this crap.
I've worked out that Torii's chasing down something called a " sky beast"...
...but that guy's always got an agenda.
What purpose does it serve for him to be chasing down these sky beasts...?
That's what I wanna know.
Once I've figured that out, I'll get Torii and even Lord Mizuno to retire from office.
I've got serious men, like Council Elder Doi and Temple Commissioner Abe,
that I've already spoken about this with.
So you want me to fish around, is that what you're sayin'
My guess is, Torii found out about your background...
and threatened to blow your cover wide open if you didn't go along with him, right?
But what we'll do is--
That's not what happened.
I decided to do this on my own.
I, uh... I kinda have this strange power, you see...
and I was just hopin' it could be of some use to someone... that's all I wanted.
If I tell him everything about the sky beasts...
then I won't be able to keep Sora's part hidden anymore.
I just can't let that happen.
I'll take care of the blue beast on my own...
...and make sure Sora gets away safe.
So that's the reason why I'm working under Commissioner Torii.
Shit.
What the hell was that?!
Some kinda race...?
But that one looks like a manure boat!
Seikichi...?!
Princess Kaguya's mine, buddy boy!
I ain't never handin' her over!
What the hell's goin' on with those two?
They're talkin' 'bout "Princess Kaguya" or somethin', man.
Looks to me like they're fightin' it out over some woman.
What a couple of dumbasses...
You big jerk, Seikichi!
O-Riku?!
Well if it ain't O-Riku Kagiya!
So you wanna get in the race too, eh? Fine, but Princess Kaguya stays with me!
What's this about Princess Kaguya?!
Is it true that you two're havin' this race over a girl?!
Like I'd ever do that!
Oo, I don't wanna hear it! Men are all pigs!
Hear it anyway!
If I win, then you're gonna take over the Kagiya family, got it?!
Who the hell made that the stakes?!
Yeah right... Kagiya! Wimpy little firecrackers...
What was that?!
Whaddaya think of these wimpy little firecrackers, asshole?!
What?
Crazy bitch! Cut it out!
Nice catch, huh?
Seikichi...!
Ginjiro...
You know, seems to me you're protecting something pretty damn important.
Just tell me, what the hell is it?
"Dumplings"
What it is... that I'm protecting...
What on earth do you think you're doin' way over here, Gin?!
Oh, O-Ise.
That Seikichi from the row house is gettin' into some big brouhaha down at the Big River!
Huh?
Sora, what do you think you're doin' !
Well, if I'd flown in to save you, you woulda gotten mad again.
Huh?
Are you all right, Seikichi?
I guess you saved me...
Hey there! Princess!
Whoa, Sora... you were on board too?
I came chasing after him.
Oh, thank you! I'm so happy!
I don't mean you.
Dalah.
Oh no! Anyone seen the nozzle?!
Wow, I'm so glad it made it...
Look, the poo-poo made it too. But it stinks!
Hey you guys!
Hurry out and get up here!
Ugh... guess I'm feelin' a little chilly now.
In that case, Seikichi, I've got something neat for you!
Huh?
Just go like this, and you can start a fire.
But don't !
Regardless of all that, the smell on this boat's just horrible, isn't it?
Yeah...
and smellin' all this shit kinda makes me wanna fart now!
Hey c'mon, knock it off!
What're you talkin' about? Bein' able to light your own farts at parties...
--is absolutely mandatory for someone who makes fireworks! --C'mon Sora, would you quit that already?! It's dangerous!
Wait... you can burn farts...?
That's right! Farts are basically when bacteria in the intestines break down the...
There it goes!
Eh?
So pretty!
--Eh?! --What's this...?
Wait, is this...?
You don't think its...?
It's the poop!
--Oo, it stinks! --Poop fireworks!
It stinks! It stinks!
--Oh man, it stinks! --It stinks! It stinks! --Smelly smelly smelly...
--It really stinks when it burns! --It's gonna burn my nose off! --smelly smelly smelly smelly...
I swear, Gin, why don't you just give it up already?
This so-called thing you wanna do you say you've finally found...
Surely you don't mean horsin' around like this, do you?
No... mine ain't about horsing around.
This time, I really mean it.
Yeah, that's the one.
That smile... that's what I wanted to protect.
But damnit... looks like Seikichi beat me to it this time.
"Poppycock!"
This is what the fortune-teller told me
While holding my hand
"Your journey will continue"
"Well into the future"
And an incredibly big moon looked down upon us
You can enter the highway from anywhere
And if you feel so inclined
You can give me a kiss
You're my traveling companion
1 00 miles, 200 miles
I'll steal you away because you're my favorite
Because the road keeps going further on
1 00 miles, 200 miles
Chasing a rainbow 400 miles
I'm sure everybody'll be jealous of us
Let's go see something we've never seen before, baby
"Next time"
I maintain law and order at the Kanda Hyakkenbori-Furai Row House.
So everyone just calls me O-Nui, the lovely little watchdog.
Eh?! You're wondering what kinda costume the cat ears on my head are for...?!
These are dog ears!
So everyone dress up like me at the Summer Comiket, okay?
Next time, the twelfth episode of Oh! Edo Rocket...
"If You Don't Like Worrying..." Next time, the twelfth episode of Oh! Edo Rocket...
