.
It is the 22nd year of the new Holy Era.
With the fall of the previous age brought about by human folly...
lawlessness runs rampant and disorder rules the world.
But here in Shinjuku, the City of Beasts...
any creature who would harm another...
must contend with us, one and all.
Our wild blood runs hot tonight!
Hyper Police to the rescue!
HYPER POLICE
Till you make up your mind I won't let you go
I'm gonna make you feel the pull of my charms
What gives spice to romance
Is the endless thrill of playing the game
My heart soars where none has ever gone before
When you've finally seen
That I'm your number one then hurry, hurry
Reach across time and take me in your arms
We'll always be together forever and a day
Together eternity's within our reach

A MEAL AND A NIGHT'S LODGING
This is a bulletin from Metropolitan Police Headquarters.
One of the three pig bombers terrorizing the city...
has been spotted fleeing westward by car along Ome Avenue.
His warrant number is FU-108.
The suspect is driving an orange steam wagon.
All private bounty hunters are invited to join the chase.
Damn fools! I can hear every word they're saying!
''Autopilot''
The suspect has turned north and is now headed for Mejiro.
We are in pursuit!
Say.
Shouldn't we go after this terrorist they've been yammering about?
Says here he's bombed the airport, the Diet building, libraries, etc.
Sounds like a real nasty son of a bitch.
Catch him and we'll be rolling in dough.
But I just waxed my machine yesterday.
It'll get all dirty again if we start running around.
I see.
But she doesn't seem to mind it when her cousins climb all over it.
The fools! Little do they know they're chasing an empty car.
I'm borrowing your wheels.
How come this half-breed cat has such amazing powers anyway?
Not that it matters why.
What counts is that I get those powers for myself.
Then I'll finally become the nine-tail fox I've dreamed of.
What's the big idea?
Hey! Wasn't that this pig?
She spends most ofher time just lying around...
but one glimpse of her quarry, and she's a different animal.
I suppose it's because half of her blood is wild like mine.
Halt! Halt, FU-108!
Damn, discovered already!
We told you to halt, you blue swine!
The damn fool.
What?
Natsuki got blown up?
Sakura! Are you serious?
Go look in the garage downstairs.
You can see the remains of her machine.
Natsuki!
Mr. Mudagami, I'll take the prize money for FU-108.
Many thanks.
Natsuki! My Natsuki!
Natsuki!
It's too far gone for us to repair it here.
You mean it has to be junked?
Natsuki!
Maybe not junked, but it's a job for a professional restorer.
Natsuki!
Batanen!
My machine got wrecked.
Is your head attached? Your arms? Your legs? Any pain?
Can you still have children?
Batanen, you'll break my back!
Sorry.
I thought I'd die.
I'll go ahead and send it out for repairs, Natsuki.
Thanks.
The cat girl went home without even taking a shower.
She's so upset about her machine, she's forgotten about the prize.
Maybe I shouldjust run off with the money.
''Women's Shower Room No men allowed. You peep, you die!''
Is it the moon that makes my heart skip so?
No, it's the soft touch of Natsuki's body...
that still lingers in these arms.
It's Natsuki's ambrosial scent that still--
Hey, cutie pie. Looking for a good time?
I can hit on perfect strangers without a second thought...
but my knees turn to mush around Natsuki.
I suppose it's because I actually care about her.
Batanen, you seem really stoked up today.
You think so?
Goddamn it! Why can't I get anything but cold water?
What if I catch a cold? Son of a bitch!
The showers are out of order, Batanen.
Not that complaining to you will do any good.
Where's the super?
Batanen, it's time to go on patrol.
Kondo will be waiting.
Batanen.
It's been a week and she hasn't said a word about the prize.
We're gonna go hungry if she doesn't get her head out of the clouds.
Say, let's go see how your machine is coming along.
You've been wondering too?
Of course.
What I've been wondering is how to get my hands on your powers.
We're having trouble finding parts. Maybe you should consider a new airbike.
Aren't they expensive? Isn't it still cheaper to fix the old one?
Would you like me to work up the numbers?
You know, if you're gonna buy new, maybe you should get one of these.
It can even fly.
An F-Elf flyer! You're handling these now?
We're delivering this one to the MAD Police Corporation today.
Perhaps your company would like one too.
Wow! 30-mm Vulcans. It's got big guns!
Our guns are peashooters by comparison.
Get your grubby hands off that machine.
Ah, Ms. Fonne.
Are you here to look over the new flyer?
So that's the famous Ms. Fonne of the MAD Police.
Someone who needs a machine to fly...
would do better to watch her big mouth.
Posture all you want...
but I doubt your pauper of a company can afford one of these.
Oh, yeah?
- That bitch! - Don't, Sakura!
Just let it go!
Who does she think she is? Humans should know their place.
Watch what you say! You could start a racial incident.
Natsuki, let's go on patrol.
By hook or by crook...
I intend to get the other two pig terrorists...
who've been giving everybody the slip.
Blue sure did mess things up this time.
Security has gotten a lot tighter all over...
and the city's crawling with bounty hunters.
Don't worry about it. Carry out your strike as planned.
Our mission is to blow up the whole city!
''The Lamp Cafe''
What's keeping Natsuki?
Really. Her shift was over long ago.
I suppose Sakura's dragging her around again.
I just hope she doesn't get hurt.
She died!
She died? Natsuki died?
Good grief. I'm only talking about this comic book.
See?
You should be more careful what you say!
I think I'll go see if I can find her.
Boy, am I beat.
You're a pro, aren't you?
Stop whining about how tired and hungry you are.
Hey, I didn't say a word about being hungry.
Sure you did.
- Did not. - Did too.
- I guess our stomachs are saying it. - Give me a break.
Shall I go find us something to eat?
Fine. Whatever.
Wait for me here, then.
Where could those other two terrorists be hiding?
F-Elf fliers. Maybe the one from this afternoon is up there too.
I wonder if something's up.
Hey, wait! Can I have takoyaki for two?
Sorry, but I'm all out.
Oh, come on.
Don't you even have enough for one?
'Fraid not. Now get lost.
There she is.
What's she doing in a place like this?
Please!
How about half a serving?
I told you no. Forget it!
- Not even one piece? - Stop pestering me!
- You're mean. - I am not mean.
My goodness!
Are you all right?
Stand back!
Damn it! I'll just have to launch it right away.
You're not, by any chance --
Hey, wait!
Ha-yaaaa!
What's going on?
- Damn! Completely foiled! - Halt!
You're under arrest for violation of the Explosives Control Law...
as well as for-- as well as for--
In any case, you're under arrest!
Red Pig of the terrorist gang!
Give yourself up!
Sakura!
You nabbed two of the three terrorists. That's a huge achievement.
We did it, Sakura!
Don't let it go to your heads! You only got the small fry.
The leader of the gang, White Pig, is still at large.
The small fry are a perfect match for grubby hunters like you.
Pisses me off!.
Actually, now that she mentions it...
it's true that Sakura's been looking kind of grungy lately.
She used to be a lot more careful about her hygiene.
Say, Batanen. Did they get that hot water heater fixed yet?
They don't have the budget for it...
so cold showers is all you're gonna get.
It's still not fixed?
I guess I'll just change and go on home, then.
Wait, Sakura!
Let's stop in somewhere for a bite to eat.
The shops around here are all too expensive.
It'd be like throwing cash down the drain.
See you tomorrow.
Hold on a sec, Sakura.
Excuse me, if I may. Thanks.
Beg pardon. Just passing through.
My goodness, Sakura. You're still living like this?
Why should I throw away good money for rent? It's a complete waste.
But what about when you need to bathe?
Well, with the water heater at the office out of order...
I've been making do with sponge baths.
You can't do this!
This is no way for a girl to live!
We'll find you a proper place tomorrow!
In the meantime, come and stay at my house.
I'm 190 years old...
and a 17-year-old treats me like a little girl.
What's wrong with this picture?
I live alone here, so make yourself at home.
Here's a change of clothes for you, Sakura.
Also, I'm not much of a cook, but do you have any requests?
So long as it's Japanese, anything is fine.
Actually, I was thinking of some kind of pasta.
I'll eat whatever you make. Just hurry up and close the door.
You're letting the cold air in.
Sorry.
She should be more considerate.
Ah, heaven!
So she lives alone.
I wonder what happened to her parents.
Well, whatever.
It's a golden opportunity for me.
I can attack her in her sleep.
Good night.
Natsuki dear.
Are you asleep?
What is this, a house of cats?
Oh, well, I owe her one for the shelter and food.
I'll let her go for today.
''The Lamp Cafe''
You say Sakura is staying at your place now, Natsuki?
So that's how it is.
What're you looking at me like that for?
I'm not a lesbian or anything.
Tommy, I'm miserable with envy.
Your eyes are getting bloodshot again, Batanen.
Maybe it's time you told Natsuki how you feel about her.
You mean it's a love triangle?
Really, I'm not!
I'm really not a lesbian!
See, that's why I told you
Scary omens and close calls
Fill my every day
I'm not even married
But when do I have time to fall in love
There were lots of thrills
And in the end, all was well
Tomorrow is our double date
You know it's gonna be great
Gotta do the day spa on my way home
I think love must be some kind of magic
Passed down through the ages
An ancient, ancient spell
To all the wicked ones who choose to misuse it
Until the world over
Fills to overflowing
With happy smiles
However long it takes
The battle will rage on
From one day to the next
Coming up Next On HYPER POLICE
I never really thought about it before...
but I wonder what the bad guys do when they're not getting in trouble.
They have to live and eat just like the rest of us, right?
When I consider that, I'm not sure what I think about them anymore.
Help me figure it out, Batanen!
Coming next-- ''A Night You Feel Like Crying''
Don't you dare miss it!
