.
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
How many months' worth of our pay is that?
No bounty hunter's going to see that much in a lifetime.
I've about had it with Mudagami.
I can't believe he has us all on this one case.
This Ryudo Gan guy has a pretty impressive horn.
He ought to stand out like a sore thumb.
The game is fixed! You dirty bastard!
Please, sir! You're just having a run of bad luck.
Don't give me that!
I want my money!
Give it back!
You idiot.
It's Ryudo Gan.
Who the hell are you guys?
An outlaw's worst nightmare-- bounty hunters.
Oh, no, you don't. You're not getting away!
Damn! My eyes sting so much I can't see. Where'd he go?
SORRY!
Wait!
I just have to ask you something.
You expect me to fall for that?
Wait.
You're not the only one who can fly, you know.
Now be a good boy, or I'll blow your head off.
You can't shoot law-abiding citizens, Sakura!
He wouldn't be running away from you if he was clean.
You shouldn't be so suspicious of people.
That's right.
I believe you know this person.
He's a real troublemaker who loses his temper...
and turns violent when he loses at gambling.
There have been dozens of victims from his rampages.
So there's no warrant out for me yet. Shouldn't scare me like that.
We just want you to tell us where we can find this guy.
Oh, yeah? Well, you two are private bounty hunters, right?
That's right.
Then show me your license. You do have one, don't you?
Do you have a license, Sakura?
Are you kidding?
That's what I was afraid of.
Don't be stupid.
We're both employees of the Police Company.
What counts is that the company has a license.
Satisfied? Now tell us where he is.
I've never seen him in my life.
Maybe this will help refresh your memory.
Please don't shoot.
I can't help you, but go talk to the barkeep at the Tea Rose.
- Hold it! - Let him go!
Damn it! Why are we letting him go?
I bet we'd find plenty of dirt if we just pounded him a little.
There's no warrant out for him.
Besides, we need to get this information to Batanen.
Oh, man! Natsuki would look so hot in that.
I can hardly stand it!
I'm gonna buy it for her as soon as I get paid.
What are you doing, Batanen?
Oh, hi, Tommy.
For Natsuki?
You know, Natsuki avoids water like the plague.
She hates swimming.
You don't have to get violent!
Oh. You got a message from Natsuki.
From Natsuki?
She thinks they have a lead on Warrant No. KE-328.
- Ouch! - Why didn't you say that first?
You don't have to hit me every time!
Hi, Batanen. We're at the mall on Fourth Avenue.
All right. See you then.
He says he can be here in 30 minutes.
Personally, I think calling that Bataninny idiot is a bad idea.
Maybe you enjoy working with him...
but all it does is reduce our share of the reward.
But when we can work with Batanen and Tommy...
and Kondo and Nupu and Gray...
and everyone else, it's so much more fun.
If there's always someone else besides you and me, I can't attack you.
Huh? Did you say something?
Never mind!
In any case...
if we don't catch the guy, we don't get any money at all.
It's true we've had suspects get away...
or get nabbed by someone else lately.
I'm really not a bad hunter...
but meeting my quota on my own is looking difficult.
Now, now, don't let it get you down.
Besides, payday is just around the corner.
Let's go shopping while we wait for Batanen.
Shopping?
We'll pull out all the stops!
Don't be ridiculous! Have you ever looked at your pay slip?
Income tax, local tax, retirement, health insurance...
direct savings-- after all that gets taken out...
where's there any money left...
for pulling out all the stops?
What do you say, Sakura? Let's go try some things on.
Are you crazy? This place is way too upscale for us.
They charge you ¥5000 just to go inside and look.
Just to look?
You're not going to find anything here under ¥100,000.
There's no way you or I could afford to buy.
Then maybe it's worth ¥5000 just to try things on.
Forget it. Let's go.
Bargains galore! 90% off! 100% off!
Now this is more like it!
When I get paid, I'd sure like to at least try things on at that place.
Give it up!
Look, Sakura! Silver-tip bullets on sale.
Wow! These are a steal!
If I buy a whole box, will you throw in a second?
Throw in a second?
These are already at rock-bottom prices.
Come on! Be a sweetheart!
Fine.
Thanks, mister.
Wow! This is cheap. I'm gonna buy one.
You guys are supposed to be on duty!
Have you been waiting long?
Women lose all sense of time when they go shopping.
Never mind.
Let's go find that barkeep at the Tea Rose.
Right.
So the Tea Rose is a casino?
Let's go, Tommy.
Welcome to the Tea Rose.
Too much stimulation for an innocent like me.
I'm no innocent, but it's still too much.
We'll go see what we can find out.
No, you don't!
Excuse me, we're looking for this person.
I haven't seen him around lately.
Slip him a little something. It'll refresh his memory.
But all I have is--
Why should I be the one to pay? You have to pay me half later.
Be sure to remind me.
Oh, I remember now.
He comes around here on the weekends.
Really?
You girls have a really tough job, don't you?
That was like a dream.
What? He copped a feel?
Just a little one.
While ignoring the great Sakura!
He's dead meat!
Welcome to the Tea Rose!
So did you find out anything about Ryudo Gan's whereabouts?
Nosebleed.
Hey, where's Tommy?
Stop goofing off, Tommy!
Tommy!
Welcome to the Tea Rose.
''Stamp Out Undesirable Books!''
- You look delicious, baby! - Oh, please, sir!
Do you think he's ever going to show up, Batanen?
If only I were with Natsuki instead of this doofus.
Would you like a drink?
Actually, I'm on duty.
What are you salivating about?
Kondo?
It's a real pity. Such a pretty girl, turned into a wet rat.
To have strong children, you better keep your lower parts from getting chilled.
Say, wouldn't you like to work at my casino?
You'd be our number one girl in no time.
Such smooth skin.
Sheesh! Men are all the same!
Mr. Oni, Mr. Nupu, it's time to change shifts.
- All right. - Thanks.
- Is our pay ready? - Not yet.
Where's Mr. Mudagami?
He went out and hasn't returned.
Sheesh! Where'd he disappear to, on payday of all days?
Since it's payday, maybe he went to the bank.
I'm sopping wet!
If I do it now, no one else is around.
It's my chance to finally get my ninth tail.
Thanks. That dried me out.
I guess I'll let it go for now.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Thanks.
I need you to take care of this, Sakura.
What?
¥5000 for a cup of coffee? That's highway robbery.
Please watch what you say. People could get the wrong idea.
I'm simply asking you to pay off your tab.
Today's payday, right?
Are you still trying to catch that same suspect, Natsuki?
Uh-huh. We fell behind our quota, so everyone's been helping out.
We've been taking turns everyday on a stakeout, but--
Hey, burly girl! Bring me a drink, will you?
Burly?
I'm working, I'm working.
Today is payday.
Right away, sir.
He still hasn't shown up?
He won't show up if you're walking around in plain sight, boss.
You think not?
I wouldn't mind if this job...
lasted forever. Yikes!
Everyone's really pulling hard, so I think we'll get him.
I'm sorry it's been so difficult.
You all work so hard for how little they pay you.
You can say that again. Up all night for days on end--
I don't know how much longer I can take it.
You're both cute.
There must be lots of better-paying jobs out there for you.
That's for sure.
But it's nice to be working for the public good...
and we have such dedicated coworkers.
And I really like working with Batanen and the others.
I intend to find a better job the minute I get that ninth tail.
So I said to him...
''Your face is joke enough.''
- You're so mean. - You should have seen him.
I'm having a great time. Let's hit one more place.
Where would you like to go?
Who the hell are you? What's with that overblown face?
We've finally found you, Ryudo Gan!
Don't move. I'll blow this girl's brains out.
My beeper!
So the bastard finally turned up!
Thanks for the coffee.
She gripes a lot, but I think Sakura actually likes her work.
This is not good.
Damn.
I'm not about to get caught by the likes of you!
If you want to save this girl, bring me a hovercraft.
What's going on?
He's holding hostages inside.
Oh, no!
We'll go in the back way!
Barkeep!
My only regret...
is that I didn't see you in a bunny suit before I died.
Hurry up with that hovercraft!
We have you surrounded. Give yourself up peacefully.
What?
You have the right to remain silent.
You have the right to an attorney.
Anything you say may be used against you...
in a court of law.
Shut up and drop dead!
Release the hostage immediately...
Wait, Natsuki! The hostage is safe.
and give yourself up.
If you resist, you will be hurt.
You already zapped him.
Didn't you hear me, Natsuki?
Seems like there's still something I forgot to say...
but maybe I did cover it all.
There's gonna be more reports to file on this one.
But at least we know that Natsuki's back in full form.
I think I'm falling in love all over again.
You're really amazing, Natsuki.
- Don't you think you overdid it a bit? - She paid me a compliment!
That was not a compliment!
Come on. Let's get back to the office.
When we get paid tonight, we'll get some prize money, too!
Thanks to everyone's help.
''Seized by Tokyo District Court''
What are these red tags...
pasted all over everything?
We're cooked.
Did our pay get seized, too?
I take it you are employees of the company?
You will be fined if you use any of the seized items.
I must warn you, miss.
If you tear that red tag, you will be fined.
I just have to get some personal items out of my locker.
What's in here belongs to me.
But there may be some company property, too. Everything must be checked first.
What in the world happened?
The company went belly-up.
The accounting department at the head office...
lost a pile of money in adzuki bean futures and the president skipped town.
We'll all have to go our separate ways.
Go our separate ways?
Get your hands off my underwear.
I'm just doing my job.
You're even seizing the food we bought for late night snacks?
This jacket also belongs to the company, I believe.
That's not true.
We had to pay for these. Get it off of me!
Uh-oh, I wonder if--
Hey, hold on!
You can't seize this!
I worked my rear end off capturing this trophy.
It represents company income. All company assets must be seized.
You people... You people...
You're nothing but a bunch of bandits!
A bunch of bandits!
Just when I thought things were getting on track for me again...
we're all going to be split up.
Mr. Mudagami!
Isn't there something you can do?
Mr. Mudagami?
Sorry.
But-- but--
I don't want to be separated from everyone.
It's not fair!
There's nothing but darkness ahead.
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'm so hungry.
I haven't had a decent meal in a long time now.
But money is tight, so we have to cut back.
I never realized before...
how difficult it is to work as a freelancer.
When you don't have a license, they take advantage of you...
and then the work hardly pays at all.
Coming next--
''No Time, No Money, No License''
Don't you dare miss--
I think I'm gonna die.
