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
''Say Good-bye to a Cold Jail Cell''
That's the third one since this morning.
I wonder what they do to the prisoners they lead away.
Excuse me.
Prisoners aren't allowed to speak!
Yikes!
I've sent a lot of people to this place...
but I never knew what happened to them once they got here.
I wonder what kind of punishment I'll face.
- This should teach you! - Things like that...
and that...
and even that?
I can't stand it!
Batanen! Help! Please hurry!
Batanen!
''The Lamp Cafe''
Batanen!
Have you guys seen Batanen?
Where's the fire?
Here. Calm down and have a drink of water.
Thanks.
Huh? What's the matter with you?
You should be more careful, Ayami.
That was some of that 100-proof Monster Killer hooch left over from last night.
- You better hope he doesn't die. - I'm sorry.
Batanen... Natsuki's been--
Here's to our homeland, Pennsylvania. Cheers!
I never expected to meet someone from home in a place like this.
Time to hit the road, guys. It's getting light.
''The Drunken Wolf'' You can't tear us apart.
You remind me so much of home.
You even smell like Pennsylvania.
All right. I'll sing a song from home.
O Pennsylvania, home sweet home With meadows so green--
I'm begging you. Go home!
Fox god, O fox god. Are you there?
Business has been a real disaster lately...
and I was wondering if you couldn't help me out.
I'm also very eager to get my ninth tail. Can't you do something about that?
Oh, there's also this she-devil called Fonne who really pisses me off.
I sure wouldn't mind if you gave her a good bop in the head.
Then there's the matter of my missing partner.
We had a little screwup, you see.
I wonder if you could do something about that while you're at it.
I don't suppose you can. Forget I even mentioned it.
I suppose I should take that last request to Bataninny.
Yeah, that's what I'll do.
There is indeed a warrant out for him.
Excellent work, as usual, Ms. Fonne.
Let's skip the chatter and hurry up with the money.
Right.
Batanen! Tommy!
Hurry up and come rescue me!
I'm freezing! I'm scared!
Well, well, look at you.
- Ms. Fonne? - You've really hit rock-bottom...
when you sink to being a common criminal.
Though I pretty much figured this is how you guys would end up.
Hey, I don't see your friend.
I was the only one to get caught.
In other words, that fox abandoned you.
I'm so cold.
Where's that Bataninny idiot hiding himself, anyway?
No! You can't do this to me!
I'm innocent. You've got to check again!
I beg you. There's been some mistake! You can't do this to me!
Prisoners have been led away one by one since this morning...
and none of them have come back.
Do you know what's happening to them?
You mean you didn't know?
First offenders either have to do real time or pay a fine...
and repeat offenders, as well as serious first offenders...
get all their memories wiped out.
Get their memories wiped out?
That's right. They start over with a clean slate.
You mean, I wouldn't remember Batanen or the others anymore?
That's too cruel!
Looks like it's your turn next.
I'm next?
I've got to stay calm. There must be something I can do.
Fujin! Raijin!
It's no use! Batanen, please!
Hello. Hello there, neighbor.
Are you talking to me?
Please be quiet. We wouldn't want anybody to hear us.
Right.
Who are you guys?
We're a couple of upstanding citizens who were framed by that Fonne girl...
and got thrown in this slammer.
- I'm Chameleon A. - And I'm B.
Framed? By Ms. Fonne?
Exactly.
We need to escape from here as soon as possible.
Why? Because this fella's mother is dying, and she could go any minute.
That's right. My mother's dying.
- That's terrible! - So what do you say?
Would you like to break out with us?
Wha-a-at? Break out?
Huh? I thought I told you to keep quiet!
''Seal''
- Here we go. - Yo!
Hurry!
B-but--
Do you want your memory wiped out?
No way!
- Then come with us. - With us, with us.
Is this really okay?
Are you sure this is okay, Mr. Chameleon?
One cat and two chameleons.
Did you find them? Search over there.
Don't let 'em get away.
- Follow us. This way. - This way.
Wow! You guys are like ninjas.
Here we are.
We can get another drink here.
What are you gaping at, meathead!
Where have you been all this time?
- Is that all you can say? - Batanen, Natsuki's in trouble.
In trouble? What happened?
She was captured by Peau D'Roquefort.
What? And you just sat on your hands?
Well, that is, I mean--
Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on her?
I'm sorry.
You nitwit! You're in no position to be ragging on Tommy.
What are you doing with that girl?
Girl?
Oh, her. She's just someone I ran into...
who happened to be from the old country...
so we were sharing memories of bygone times.
And I'm sure you intended to share more than that...
you dirty lech!
Lech? Hey, wait a minute.
How come only Natsuki got caught? Weren't you with her?
Er, well, that is, it's a complicated story.
I mean, somebody had to take care of Natsuki's cats...
and I needed to take an offering to the fox god...
and I also had arrangements to make for getting my ninth tail.
But never mind that. Where'd you pick up this slut?
I told you, I just happened to run into her.
You didn't say what you were doing when Natsuki got caught.
- Don't change the subject. - Who's changing the subject?
Please! Forgive me! It's all my fault!
Stop pointing fingers at each other!
Hurry up and go rescue Natsuki!
Oh, right. Rescue Natsuki.
That's right. Stop spinning your wheels here and get moving.
Uh, aren't you going along too?
I think I'll pass.
Here. You can take Bob along in my place.
What's with all these guys?
I wonder if something's going on.
What is your business here?
We came to see your boss.
License No. A-0017, Batanen Fujioka. I'm a bounty hunter.
Right this way.
''Waiting Room'' I wish I had a better feeling about this.
What do you think, Batanen? Think they'll let her go?
It's hard to say. This Peau D'Roquefort has a pretty tough reputation.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
So you're the spirit summoner, Peau D'Roquefort?
We came to get Natsuki Sasahara. She was brought in yesterday.
You want her released?
That's right. What was she brought in for?
Interfering with a law officer, hunting without a license, and more.
The investigation is not yet complete. I must ask you to leave.
Excuse me, but I think you'll find that she is sorry for her actions.
- Sorry? - And she is still a minor.
Prolonging her detention could prove counterproductive.
If she's a minor, she can be released only to a proper guardian.
In that case...
here's Bob, who is in fact her acting guardian.
A cat is not acceptable.
I'm not her guardian, but I am her fiancé.
Also, I haven't completed the paperwork yet, but she works for me.
Surely that should be enough.
As I said, I must ask you to leave.
Hey, hold on. I'm not finished.
You must leave.
Something smells fishy here.
I don't smell anything.
But speaking of smell...
Peau's fragrance was like a pure white lily blooming deep in a pristine valley.
Idiot.
- Bob! - Wait, Bob!
Wasn't there a shorter way out than this?
Probably. But you can bet those robots have it locked down tight.
Oh, right. I guess these chameleons are pretty smart.
Here we are.
This is the place, Miss Natsuki. Come on down.
Wow! Incredible!
Wait a minute. This is the power plant, right?
Can we really escape from here?
Absolutely.
At least so long as you're willing to cooperate.
We want you to destroy this place.
Destroy this place? And this relates to his dying mother how?
Not at all.
I neglected to mention before...
that we're actually jailbreak contractors with a 100% success rate.
We study all options beforehand...
then devise the optimal plan.
This time the surest plan was to use you.
So we bribed our way into the cell next to you...
and sprang you and brought you here.
If you use your powers to destroy the power plant...
all police functions will shut down and our clients can escape.
So that's how the plan is supposed to work. Yep.
Yep.
So you're saying you tricked me. That's terrible!
Well, I won't do it.
Oh, yes, you will.
You've already broken out of jail, and that's a very serious crime.
But that's only because--
You can never legally become a bounty hunter again.
In fact, you will be a fugitive for the rest of your life.
B-but--
There is only one road to salvation for you.
You can join forces with us.
Destroying this power plant will be your initiation.
I said I wouldn't do it, and I won't.
I'm afraid you have no choice, Miss Natsuki.
The penalty for breaking out of jail is death.
I'm sure you don't want to be caught and killed.
I can't believe--
I can't believe how evil you are!
It's just as we planned. Whether she's for us or against us...
her voltage will zap this place to smithereens. Our record's still perfect!
Attagirl! You're almost there.
Bob!
- Natsuki! - Batanen! Tommy!
What's this about? Why are you here?
Well, that is, I mean----
It's those guys, Batanen! They're outlaws.
They wanted to destroy this place so other prisoners could escape.
What?
Damn! We were so close! Let's clear out.
Don't let them get away!
- Fools! - Die!
- Behave yourselves! - Behave yourselves!
You did it, Batanen!
It's Peau.
Natsuki Sasahara, you're under arrest for attempted escape.
Oh, I get it now. That's why you couldn't release her.
But hold on. Natsuki's the one who caught the escapees.
And they're not just common jailbirds, either.
They plotted to blow up this entire power plant!
Are you saying she left her cell to capture the jailbreakers?
That's right.
Leaving her cell was a crime, nevertheless.
I don't think you want word to get out that three prisoners actually got loose.
It would be mud on the face of the Metropolitan Police Department.
- Are you trying to blackmail me? - I'm suggesting we make a deal.
You can have those two, but let Natsuki go free.
And we'll forget everything we saw here. What do you say?
Don't you have any common sense?
Is enforcing the letter of the law all you care about here?
Just figure we owe you one. It could come in handy later.
Lock the two jailbreakers up.
Batanen!
I was so scared, Batanen!
You should be grateful to your fiancé, Miss Natsuki.
- Fiancé? - I have no idea what she's talking about.
You must be hungry.
- Shall we go get something to eat? - Uh-huh.
What's the matter? Let's go.
Batanen smells like a woman.
While I was in here scared out of my wits...
he was cavorting with some woman.
I was freezing and trembling in fear...
but even though he knows how much I like him...
he was spending time with some woman.
What's the matter, Natsuki?
You sleazebag!
What's wrong with Natsuki?
She came home and went straight to her room and refuses to come out.
Did something happen?
It's a long story.
You guys really are a couple of good-for-nothings.
I'll bet you haven't said a word, have you, Batanen?
- What are you talking about? - That girl, of course.
- She didn't mean anything. - You nitwit.
Do you actually expect Natsuki to accept that?
Whether she accepts it or not, it's the truth.
If that's the way you want it.
Natsuki, can I come in?
- No. - You need to forgive Sakura.
I figured it was the police, so what was the worst that could happen?
That's why I held back.
You have to forgive Batanen too.
Boys will be boys,you know, and an affair or two...
- or 10 or 100 is perfectly-- - I told you it wasn't like that!
Well, if you're going to hold a grudge, then I can't stay here.
I guess I'll go stay at Batanen's for a while.
Don't you dare! You're too pretty and sexy--you'll seduce him!
Don't you dare steal Batanen from me!
I won't steal him.
- Why would I want to steal such a jerk? - Hey! There's no call for that!
You know, if you're that worried about it...
you should put him on a leash and always keep him with you.
He belongs to the canine family, after all.
A leash around his neck?
I should put a leash around his neck and always keep him with me?
Natsuki's acting strange.
Did I say something I shouldn't have?
That must mean that it's okay for us...
to team up with Batanen again, right?
That's not really what I had in mind.
If we work with him as his assistants, then we don't need a license...
- and we won't get him in trouble. - Stop jumping to conclusions!
I'm so happy, so happy, so happy! I get to be with Batanen!
She's not hearing a word you say.
Are those four ears of yours just for show?
Thank you, thank you, Sakura. I'm so...so...
so terribly happy!
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
What's wrong with being a trainee?
Why don't trainees get any respect?
We work just as hard as everyone else.
It's not fair.
That's why I've made up my mind. I'm gonna go to a proper school...
to get my license.
I'll become a full-fledged bounty hunter just like Batanen...
and makes lots and lots of money!
Coming next-- ''I Want the License''
Don't you dare miss it!
