The stolen sword was...
...Kikuchiyo, which is as valuable as the national treasure.
The thief hasn't gone too far yet.
Turn on the lights!
Right there!
That's...!
That's the mysterious thief, Mouse Kid!
Don't let him escape!
He's disappeared!
Another famous sword was stolen!
This is the sixth sword this month!
He's good... He's very good!
Now is not the time to admire him!
Find Mouse Kid and do it now!
Yes, sir!
A SWORDSWOMAN'S WISH! TO STEAL THE EXCELLENT SWORD
...according to these calculations...
...x=2y.
I would like someone to solve this problem.
Noriko, please solve it.
Noriko!
Yes!
Well...
It's not like you...
...to daydream during class.
I'm sorry.
Noriko wasn't her usual self, and she was absent-minded today.
It was strange...
I guess she couldn't think of anything but today's match.
She said she wanted to win no matter what.
What do you mean?
Ten!
One!
Two!
Three!
Four!
Five!
Six!
- Seven! - Noriko is considered...
- Eight! -...a talented martial artist...
- Nine! -...from St. Paulia's School.
- Ten! - Her family has had a Dojo...
- One! Two! -...for a long time.
- Three! - If I remember correctly...
- Four! -...her grandfather, Saburota...
-Five! -...is the owner of a Dojo.
- Six! - He's considered...
- Seven! -...the best in town.
- Eight! - A man named...
- Nine! Ten! -... Kumayama challenged him.
Ten more!
If I win, I'll take the famous sword, Munemasa.
The famous sword Munemasa...
...is an heirloom in Noriko's family...
...which has been passed on from generation to generation.
Grandpa!
A promise is a promise. I'll take Munemasa.
Since then her grandfather hasn't been well...
...and keeps saying that he is sorry to his ancestors.
Today, Noriko is going to compete against Mr. Kumayama.
That means she is looking to avenge her grandfather.
Kumayama... Kumayama...
Oh, that must be it!
KUMAYAMA DOJO
If I win, you promise that you'll return the Munemasa to me, right?
I consider myself an honorable martial artist. I don't lie.
AIthough I don't think I'll lose to little girl like you.
No time limit. One shot decides.
Bow to each other!
Begin!
Kote (hand)!
Men (head)!
Hang in there, Noriko!
Do (Chest)!
Count "Do!"
Great! Mr. Kumayama!
Wait a minute!
Noriko won the match!
Who are you?
I saw you cheat!
What did you say?!
What?!
Stop it, Meimi!
But...!
Thank you very much.
Noriko!
Aren't you frustrated, Noriko?!
No matter how you lose the match, a loss is a loss.
No way...!
My grandfather always says so.
But if that's true...!
Thank you, Meimi.
Noriko...
See you, then.
She is, indeed, Saburota's granddaughter...
I almost lost.
Before she challenges me again...
... I'll have to hide the Munemasa somewhere...
That's my chair, Mouse Kid.
It's a good sword. We can sell it at a high price.
Don't say something so stupid.
I earned this sword after I fought with Saburota.
I will never sell it.
I know that!
Because of this sword, I'm rising in rank...
...and the number of my students has increased.
You're an important customer to me.
I won't steal the sword from you.
And what do you have today?
This.
That's one of the best swords, Kikuchiyo, isn't it?
Do you like it?
Another fantastic sword is added to my collection.
All of it is due to me.
I know that.
This is what I promised you. Please examine it.
That Kumayama is really unfair!
"I couldn't get Munemasa back. Grandfather, I'm sorry."
What?
Noriko came by to say that prayer a little while ago.
It's time for St. Tail, isn't it?
Let's get the fabulous Munemasa sword back ourselves.
You're right!
St. Tail will teach that fake marital artist a harsh lesson!
"Tonight I'm taking the fabulous Munemasa sword...
...from the Kumayama Dojo.
-St. Tail"
What?!
Oh, Lord, forgive me, for I use no gimmick or trick.
One!
Two!
Three!
Be careful, Meimi.
It Iooks like...
... Kumayama has some sort of connection to the Mouse Kid.
The Mouse Kid?!
Isn't he the one...
...who's stolen many swords from different places?
After hearing about St. Tail's warning note...
...he may set something up.
Don't worry!
Sacred tail doesn't lose to a mouse thief!
I'm going to teach him a lesson using Kumayama!
I'm counting on you!
May the blessings of God be with us.
Please calm down, Mr. Kumayama.
How can I calm down?!
The Munemasa has been targeted!
Don't worry. Our security is perfect.
We'll protect your Munemasa.
I'm counting on you, Asuka Jr.
I can't show weakness in front of my students.
Being a top martial artist puts a lot of pressure on you.
It's almost time.
I'm going to check on our security guards.
Everything is going according to my plan.
Bring it on, St. Tail!
Is there anything unusual?
Not so far!
Huh? That's a...?
Oh, it's just a balloon.
Wait! It may be a trap set by St. Tail!
Hey!
Like I said, it's just a balloon.
What's this?!
Asuka Jr.!
Asuka Jr.! Please help us!
We're stuck in this stuff.
What are you guys doing?!
I can't get up!
It's super glue!
Let's help Asuka Jr.!
St. Tail!
Hey, wait a minute!
Good evening!
Everyone! Attack!
It's...
...Show...
...Time!
What are you guys doing?!
We can't control our movements.
It's St. Tail's line dance!
It's a little disappointing because we have all men.
You...!
I TOOK THE FAMOUS SWORD MUNEMASA INDEED. -ST. TAIL
Oh, no! It's too late!
Shoot!
I'm going to catch her!
It's my decoy.
I'm aware of your plan.
You're the mysterious thief Mouse Kid, aren't you?!
I will take the famous Munemasa sword!
That's Mouse Kid!
Wait a minute!
I get it. The one that flew away was a decoy...
Oh, boy...
Who would have imagined that two thieves were after it...?
- Let's go after them! - Yes, sir!
Listen! Mouse Kid has the Munemasa!
Let's spread out and search for it!
Yes, sir!
But where did St. Tail go?
Hey! Did you find him?
No...
Where did he go?
- Let's search over there, too. - Yeah.
Mr. Kumayama...?
Why?
Good job.
Mouse Kid.
It went well, didn't it?
You had me steal the Munemasa...
...to keep it from...
...Saburota and his granddaughter.
And because you dealt with both St. Tail and Mouse Kid...
...your reputation will increase.
Good plan...
I couldn't have done it without you.
So give me back the Munemasa.
Where's the money you promised me?
All right.
I look forward to working together again.
Same here.
Mouse Kid! Hey!
I'll take the Munemasa!
I'll make a lot of money selling this sword!
You betrayed me! You!
Both of you!
Don't move!
Make sure you catch him!
Wait! Mouse Kid!
He's persistent!
Look out!
How about that? It's a simple trick using an illusion.
St. Tail...!
I'll take the fabulous Munemasa sword!
St. Tail!
Hey, you! Give up!
Get off of me!
No way!
Captain. At Kumayama's Dojo...
...we found the fabulous Kikuchiyo sword...
...which was stolen the other day.
All right.
Come, Mouse Kid.
Kumayama, you, too.
You caught two bad guys by yourself.
Like father, like son!
Oh, well...
I was just chasing St. Tail.
Grandpa! The Munemasa...! The Munemasa is back!
