Happy New Year, children.
Happy New Year! Happy New Year!
And now, as is traditional for the Kotobuki family,
Iet's hear your aspirations for this year.
I'll work hard to protect the safety of Shibuya again this year!
Sayo will work hard as a junior detective, too!
I'll super devote my life to having fun again this year!
Anger
A happy New Year, baby!
Those who say such things...
...get the first Giant Swing of the New Year!
I'm in full swing again this year!
W-What the hell did you do that for, Pops?
Ran, do you think you can goof off all the time...
...and still become a respectable police officer?!
I told you, I'm not gonna become a police officer!
How many times do I have to tell you that?!
Oh? Are you sure you should be saying such things?
NewYear's Gift Oh? Are you sure you should be saying such things?
NewYear's Gift
The New Year's gift!
Do you want it?
You do, don't you?
Then swear. Swear to me!
"I will become a police officer."
AIright! Now I can finally buy the coat that I've wanted.
What is it, Sayo?
It's less. It's less, datchu!
Sayo totally got less, datchu!
Of course you did. After all, I'm your big sis.
No fair. It's not fair.
It's discrimination, datchu!
Sayo wanted to get the "Odaiba Cop: The Movie" DVD, too!
You'll get more when you hit high school, too.
What?! No way!
Sis is always doing nothing but goofing off,
so why do I get less when I'm protecting the public safety of Shibuya, datchu?!
Who's goofing off all the time?!
I'm building my character as a woman in Shibuya!
...from a kid who's still playing detective games at your age!
They're not detective games, datchu!
Don't act so high and mighty...
...over being born just 2 years before me, datchu!
What?!
What, datchu?!
Ran-pyon ¦ Dizzy > Becomes Sayo?!
"Ran-pyon! Dizzy! Becomes Sayo?!"
Ran-pyon ¦ Dizzy > Becomes Sayo?!
Man, dressing up like this, it sure feels like it's New Year's.
Happy New Year NewYear's Sale!!
With only this much New Year's gift,
I can't buy the "Odaiba Cop" DVD, datchu.
If only Sayo were Sis...
Now, come one, come all, meow.
First fortune bag sale ofthe New Year for better Iuck, meow.
Say nothing and buy one, and you'll suddenly get Iucky.
Happiness is certain to come to you, no matter who you are, meow.
Is that true, datchu?!
It sounds so bogus.
There's no wayyou can become happy by buying something like that.
A fortune bag is for you to buy your dreams.
But still...
I'd like one, datchu! But still...
I'd like one, datchu!
What?!
Thankyou, meow.
Happiness is sure to find you, meow.
Don't do it, don't do it!
It's like throwing your precious New Year's gift into the gutter!
It's fine, datchu!
Sayo will use Sayo's New Year's gift as Sayo pleases, datchu!
Don't look at me when you regret it!
I wonder what's inside, datchu!
I can't wait, datchu!
Wha... Wha... Wha...
Happiness
Happiness sure did find you!
After all, it's got "happiness" written on it!
Happiness After all, it's got "happiness" written on it!
My stomach hurts!
I-I got tricked, datchu!
It's so unfair, datchuut!
Ow ow ow, what the heck happened, datchu?
Poke. Poke.
What?! What?!
There's another Sayo here, datchu!
There's another me!
R-Ran? Sayo? Are you okay?!
I-It's awful! Bro, I've turned into Sayo!
It's awful, datchu! Sayo's turned into Sis, datchu!
Huh? What are you saying, Ran?
I'm over here!
Yeah.
I'm Sayo and Sayo's turned into me!
Huh?
Darn it, don't you get it?!
I'm not Sayo, but Ran! Ran Kotobuki!
You shouldn't mess with people right at the start of the New Year!
Later.
Bro! Bro!
Sis, what're we going to do, datchu?
Since it's come to this,
I've got no choice but to pretend to be you until we go back to normal.
Even ifwe told people the truth, they wouldn't believe us anyway.
That's true, datchu.
But if something triggered the switch,
something else should trigger us back to normal.
When'll that happen, datchu?!
Hell if I know!
January
Tomorrow or maybe the day after that...
January
Or it just might be next New Year's Day.
What?!
No way! I don't want that, datchu!
If only Sayo were Sis...
Could it be because Sayo said that?
Did you say something?
N-N-N-N-Nothing, datchu!
Anyway, we gotta cover it up good until we get back to normal.
Got it, Sayo?
O-Okay.
I know I said okay, but...
Will Sayo be able to pretend to be Sis, datchu?
Ran, sorry for making you wait!
Happy New Year!
Oh, Assistant Inspector Yamazaki! Aya-ppe! Happy New Year, datchu!
Gag!
A-Assistant Inspector Yamazaki?
Aya-ppe? And what happened to your voice?
I-It's nothing, datchu.
She's got a bit of a cold so her throat's feeling weird, datchu.
Right, Sis?
You're also...
Now, let's get right to it and make our first visit to the shrine!
Oh, Ran-pyon!
T-Tatsukichi, happy New Year!
A happy New Year, Ran-pyon!
A New Year's kiss, ple-ple-please!
Ran-pyon!
What the hell're you doing to me?!
S-Sayo?
S-Sorry, datchu. It's just habit...
No, I mean... Sis was in danger, so I couldn't help myself!
Thank you, Sayo.
Jeez! It's your own fault, you know!
That's what you get for trying something stupid!
Ouch! A first kiss isn't something stupid!
I wish to finally get to be lovey-dovey with Rei this year.
I wish to stay lovey-dovey with Yamato again this year.
I wish to finally get to have my first lovey-dovey kiss with Ran-pyon.
Man, what a pain.
Why do we have to Iine up for such a long time...
...ijust to do something so pointless?
If this was all it took for your wishes come true,
no one'd have any troubles. Sheesh.
I wish to go back to normal! I wish to go back to normal!
I wish to go back to normal!!!! I wish to go back to normal!!!!
What are you two wishing for?
I didn't know you were so devout.
Yay, everybody!
Omikuji Lots
The first test of our Iuck for the New Year!
Omikuji Lots Let's draw omikuji lots!
Very Good Fortune
AIright! Very good fortune!
Very Good Fortune
Me, too!
Me, too.
I got very good fortune, too! Lucky me!
Hey, what about you, Ran?
Bad Fortune
B-Bad fortune... B-Bad fortune...
"A most mysterious misfortune will befall you." "A most mysterious misfortune will befall you."
"You have our condolences." "You have our condolences."
You're nothing but an omikuji lot!
How dare you mess with us humans!
Take that... And take that!
Sayo...?
She's acting kinda weird today.
You got bad fortune?!
Mami-rin!
Happy New Year, Ran.
Kotobuki, looks like even fortune has forsaken you this year.
Maybe your number one spot in Shibuya's getting shaky, too.
Shut up!
You're a Bukuro gal, so go do your damn first shrine visit in Bukuro!
Huh? What's with this kid?
You're Kotobuki's kid sister...
...and you're talking to me like you're my equal?
What? No, uh, I mean...
That's what Sis was thinking of saying just now, datchu.
Huh?
Thank you foryourpatience!
We will now begin our New Year's day tradition,
the New Year's Gift Scramble sponsored by the shopping district!
AIright! This is why I come all the way to Shibuya every year...
...for my first shrine visit of the year!
You're so cheap for someone so rich.
What did you say?!
You keep saying some annoying things.
Let's go, Kotobuki.
What?
You're participating, too, aren't you?
I challenge you, Kotobuki!
S-Sure thing...
Do you all want a New Year's gift?!
Yeah! Yeah!
BestWishes for the NewYear
Do you want it no matter what?!
BestWishes for the NewYear Yeah! Yeah!
BestWishes for the NewYear Here's this year's New Year's gift!
A full set of the latest in snowboard gear...
...will be presented to the winner!
This year's competition is para-para!
P-Para-para?!
Lucky!
This'll be a one-on-one fight between Ran and Mami-rin.
I can't do para-para dancing!
I'm in trouble!
Now, let's start the music!
I'm not losing, Kotobuki!
The snowboarding set is mine!
What?!
There and there and there we go.
Datchu, datchu, and datchu.
T-This is no good. Datchu, datchu, and datchu.
T-This is no good.
And a here we go.
Man, yesterday was seriously dicey.
Though, we managed to cover it up by saying I wasn't feeling good.
Pretending to be you is exhausting, datchu.
That's my line.
I'm getting sick of saying "datchu, datchu" all the time.
Here we are, thanks for waiting!
Sayo had the hot cocoa.
And you had your usual tropical juice, right, Ran?
Miss Towa, I'm Sayo, datchu.
What are you saying? You're Sayo.
And you're Ran, right?
What?! What?!
Y-You can tell, Towa-rin?
Nevermind that...
What do you think? Does it look good on me? It's my best kimono.
Since it's New Year's, I took the plunge and put it on!
T-Towa-rin...
Even with the New Year here, I still don't understand her, datchu.
Happy New Year! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! I hope we have another great year.
Ran-pyon!
Thanks for waiting!
We had some trouble coordinating the schedule.
Your schedule, of course.
At the beginning of everyyear, you have to participate...
...in all sorts of events as Shibuya's number one gal, remember?
Your schedule is packed today.
What?!
Don't give me that! I told you so yesterday!
You asked us to manage the schedule because it's a pain in the butt.
Did you forget?
Ran-pyon, you've been acting weird since yesterday.
Sis, get a grip, datchu!
Oh!
Oh, that's right! Man, sorry about that!
Okay, let's go, Miyu. Aya.
Oh! Oh!
Wait for us!
Ran-pyon!
Aya, what's first?
The table tennis contest being held by the Shibuya Center!
Let's hurry!
Happy New Year, Detective Kotobuki!
Happy New Year datchu, Detective Masato!
Let us protect the peace of Shibuya together again this year!
R-Roger...
I-I never expected Sayo-sayo to have a boyfriend already...
And of all people, her boyfriend turned out to be Detective Masato.
I'm so unbelievably dense...
Oh, dear, what's wrong?
You shouldn't be looking like that at the start of a new year.
Come on, smile.
Did you know?
Ifyou keep a smile on your face, something good will always happen.
Here, Palm Tree's sweet red bean soup with rice dumplings.
Eat this and cheer up. Okay?
Towa-towa...
Zappity, zap, zap!
The snow piled up in my heart has melted...
...and the spring breeze has brought the season of love!
Towa-towa, lovely!
That settles it! You're my destined one!
Oh, my.
Aw, man, not again.
Sheesh, he seriously falls in love easily.
What?!
Naokichi, let me give you some friendly advice.
Anyone but Towa-rin.
Sayo-ppe, the way you're talking is practically like Senior Kotobuki.
I've been around her too much, so I caught it from her, datchu.
T-Then, wanna get going soon?
Go? Where, datchu?
Have you forgotten? The annual eventwe do everyyear.
O-Oh! You mean that!
Yup, yup! The New Year's Special Patrol!
Yeah, right, right! Our annual tradition, datchu!
Let's go!
Thank you for waiting!
We will now hold...
...our annual New Year Shibuya Center Cup Special Scramble Match!

New Year's Eating Contest
Uh-oh! What's going on here?!
Is the eating contest superstar, Ran Kotobuki, giving up already?!
Datchu...
I thought participating in events was ijust having fun...
...and I underestimated it.
I've got no stamina left, datchu...
Say, Ran, are you all right?
You're drenched in sweat.
Have you been feeling sick since yesterday, after all?
You're so strong at table tennis,
but you lost like you were someone else.
I AM someone else, datchu...
Ran, thanks for your hard work.
Oh, Mr. Manager.
This is on the house.
Man, this year's events have been a great hit again, and we owe it to you.
Thank you.
Not at all. I'm not feeling well today and I made a lot oftrouble.
I haven't done anything deserving ofthanks.
I'm always grateful to you.
What?
You love Shibuya more than anyone...
...and you're always bringing life to this town.
I think that's why you're the number one gal of Shibuya.
Well, take care of Shibuya for us again this year.
Sis really is amazing...
She's a real super gal.
And here I thought I had Sis all figured out...
Ran, what's wrong?
Ran-pyon...
Ran...
Ran-pyon?!
R-Ran?!
What're you doing all of a sudden?!
What's that frightful look?!
Energy recharged!
