.
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
So all those other priests were only seeing us off?
I understand they used to escort the sou-ryou themselves...
but lately there've been too many terrorists and fanatics targeting him.
Any suspicious characters among the passengers?
We asked the crew to be on the lookout...
but so far everyone checks out okay.
Where's Batanen?
He hasn't left the sou-ryou's side.
I'll go find him.
Enjoy your brief little cruise while you can.
The sou-ryou is definitely on the boat.
I assume everything's ready.
You assume right.
Ignorance is bliss.
''Cat's Bell''
- Everything look okay? - Yes!
So long as they haven't planted an attack unit on board, we can relax.
Right. Then we can just enjoy a pleasant cruise.
Not quite like lying on a tropical beach, but I suppose it'll do.
Batanen! We've got a problem!
What's wrong?
I got a look at the passenger list...
and I found two suspicious names on it.
What?
Damn it!
Got 'em!
Idiot! What are you in such a hurry for?
Your odds of success are better on the open sea.
But look at it, boss! It's split clean in two and going down!
Wait!
Sakura, you're losing altitude! I can't swim!
You guys are kinda heavy, you know!
Maybe you should ditch that extra carry-on of yours.
Are you kidding?
I didn't buy ten boxes of mithril tips just to throw them away.
I'll dump you first. You can swim, can't you?
Don't be so cruel, Sakura!
We're sinking! We're sinking!
No!
They went down.
We can't relax until we see the bodies.
But the ocean is huge.
Even with all my eyes, it won't be easy to find them.
It'll be easy enough. We put a mark on one of them.
A mark?
That stupid cat-girl named Natsuki is wearing an ultrasonic transmitter.
I had no idea.
That's a stroke of genius, boss.
No need to be impressed. Anyone would have thought of it.
Send word to our men in the Nagoya area.
Right away, boss.
I'm freezing.
I sure didn't expect them to blow up the whole boat.
What are you staring at, Batanen?
Er, that is...
I didn't expect they'd go to such extremes either.
I guess I underestimated their fervor.
You should warm your tush like this, too. It's nice and toasty.
Huh?
That's okay. I'd be too embarrassed.
The people who want to stop the signing ceremony...
must really hate the idea of humans and monsters living in harmony.
Maybe coexistence just isn't possible.
My predecessor tried to build a bridge between humans and monsters 22 years ago...
but maybe it was all in vain.
I don't think it was in vain at all!
I have human friends...
and we have lots of fun hanging out together.
It may take some time...
before humans and monsters reach a happy coexistence.
But you're the only one who can make your predecessor's wishes come true.
That's right.
And that's why right now we need to think about...
how to get you to tomorrow's signing ceremony on time.
I'm so grateful to you all.
I figured we'd be going all the way by boat...
but I guess now we need to find some wheels.
You're under arrest for destruction of property...
and violations of the Endangered Species Law.
Doofus! You don't get paid for an arrest without a warrant.
Crap! Only one box was undamaged!
We've got 'em! They're in here!
My clothes aren't dry yet!
Natsuki! You and Sakura guard the sou-ryou.
Will do!
Time to see what this baby can do.
You must not kill.
I like it. A bit pricey, but worth every penny.
There they are!
They keep coming in hordes. No sense wasting my bullets.
Let's go.
You'll have to atone for what you've done.
Who cares?
To the woods!
After them! Don't let 'em get away!
Looks like we've lost them.
But how can we go on without our clothes?
She's mine! Stop staring!
You needn't worry. I've renounced the world.
More importantly, I see Tommy's missing.
You're right. He's always such a laggard.
You don't suppose he got caught?
Nah. He may not look it, but he can handle himself.
Batanen!
Natsuki! Sakura!
It's Tommy!
I got us some wheels. I also recovered our clothes.
- Tommy! - Good work, Tommy!
Think this eggbeater can make it over Hakone Pass?
We'll just have to see.
Look.
It's the guys from a while ago.
What'll we do?
We mustn't have any more killing.
Maybe we should take the logging road, even if it's the long way around.
They'll be suspicious if we turn around now.
You three hide in the hay.
We'll play farmer and feign ignorance.
Halt!
Where are you going in the middle of the night?
We're on our way to work in our fields.
Did you see five travelers? One of'em was a kid.
No, 'fraid not.
I could have sworn the signal came from along this road.
Signal?
Watch what you say!
Batanen!
Can we go now?
All right. You can go.
I got stabbed in the butt. That hurt!
You did good, Natsuki. I'm proud of you.
Good girl.
Stop, Batanen! You're tickling me!
Halt!
Let us have another look at that load you're carrying!
They're onto us! Step on it!
Don't let 'em get away!
- No killing! - I know!
Say your prayers!
- They're done for. - Probably.
No normal person could survive a fall from this height.
Just to be sure, let's go find the bodies.
Is everyone alive?
Owww. I guess so.
That was definitely not fun.
Well, well. I guess it's tough when you can't fly.
What? You let 'em get away?
Boss, they couldn't have survived that fall...
but when we searched for the bodies...
we couldn't find the sou-ryou nor any of his guards.
We've lost the homing signal, too...
so they must be too far away from us now.
Enough! Get me to our hideout in Hamamatsu!
Yes, sir!
I'll show those damn bounty hunters!
Natsuki and I will thumb another ride. You guys stay out of sight.
Please! Can we get a ride to Tokyo?
Forget it! I'm in a hurry.
You have to use your feminine charms when you're hitch-hiking.
How about this?
Or this?
Sheesh! What's it take to catch a man's eye these days?
All right! That's more like it!
How did the terrorists get their hands on flyers made for bounty hunters?
They're not making this easy...
but they can't hide from me.
Persistent devils!
Die! Die! Die!
I'm disappointed in you.
I'm very sorry, sir. I will not fail.
I'm counting on you. Don't disappoint me again.
I won't, sir.
Damn! The locator!
It just doesn't make sense.
The bastards keep showing up everywhere we go.
How do they keep finding us?
Excuse me, but may I say something?
Ever since I first met Miss Natsuki...
I've sensed strange vibrations emanating from her.
From me?
I've been wondering if you have some kind of transmitter on you somewhere.
- Huh? - What?
- Wait. Are you serious? - Yes.
Come here, Natsuki!
Wait! No! Stop it!
Come on! Hold still!
Stop it! Please, Sakura!
Batanen!
What about her panties?
Please, Sakura! You've gone far enough!
Finding anything out, Mr. Priest?
- You must be imagining it. - It's that bell.
I feel vibrations from that bell.
Huh? But this bell--
I'm rooting for you!
This bell's what tells me that people value what I do.
There are strange vibrations coming from that bell.
So that's how they always seem to know where we are.
No wonder we couldn't shake them off no matter where we went.
Why, that dirty little brat! It was a trap!
The terrorists sent her!
I can't believe this bell is responsible for all that's happened.
Natsuki, get rid of it.
I can't do that. I can't throw this bell away.
Hurry up and dump it!
I don't want to.
I know! Let's use it to trap the terrorists instead!
Huh?
You could sneak away as a decoy, Natsuki.
You mean all by myself?
It'll make up for all the trouble you've caused.
That's a bit much, Sakura. Have a heart.
The best thing to do is just get rid of it.
I'll... I'll...
I'll do it.
Here it is!
Come on. Show some life.
Good. You join up with the ground unit in the south.
- We're back in the chase! - Yes, boss!
Bite the dust, all of you!
Batanen! Promise me you'll get the sou-ryou safely to Tokyo.
You can't hide from me!
I have to distract him as long as I can.
What are you doing here, Sakura?
Just waiting for him to come in low.
It's payback for all the grief he gave us.
You came to rescue me!
I can't afford to have you die on me.
Oh, Sakura!
What's gotten into you?
I was so scared!
Boss! Are you all right?
I'm fine. But never mind me.
They'll be off their guard after seeing me go down, so now's our chance.
- Tighten that noose around 'em. - You got it, boss.
This is it! My chance to steal Natsuki's powers!
I can finally become a nine-tail fox.
Go quietly and rest in peace!
Ouch! That hurts!
What are you trying to do, Sakura?
Huh? What in the world?
Sakura,you saved me again, didn't you?
Oh, no! Sorry, Sakura! Are you all right?
I guess I have to wait until sometime when she's weak.
Sakura! Sakura!
Hello? Uh-huh. Really? That's great!
Natsuki and Sakura are okay.
Glad to hear it-- though with Sakura going along, I wasn't really worried.
Thank you for everything. I'm very grateful to you all.
Now you can do what you came here to do.
Huh?
What's going on here?
Actually, this is the real sou-ryou.
I'm his twin brother.
I was only a decoy, to confuse the terrorists.
That meant I had to lie to you as well...
and for that we apologize.
But thanks to you...
my bodyguards were able...
to deliver me safely here. Thank you.
You've been a tremendous help.
Now it's my turn to go to work.
Please give my regards to the others as well.
They sure took us for a ride.
Oh, well.
Let's go find Natsuki and Sakura.
All right.
''Chinatown''
Sakura, let's go find Batanen and Tommy.
We served as decoys.
We deserve to stop for some good eats.
Since I took this out, the bell can't transmit anymore.
One way or another, I'm gonna find a chance to steal her powers!
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
One day, out of the blue, a samurai warrior shows up.
His name is Sakunoshin Chikura.
He talks about Honnouji Temple...
and Lord Nobunaga and other stuff I can't figure out...
but he doesn't seem like a bad guy.
Yet for some reason, Sakura says she's going to kill him.
What in the world's going on?
Coming next-- ''Samurai Japan''
Don't you dare miss it!
