.
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
Good morning!
Is it morning already?
Did you guys work all night?
Yep. Second night in a row.
- Man, oh, man. - Go throw some water on your face.
Guess I better fix my makeup, too.
What kind of case are you on now?
This son of a bitch.
Warrant No. MA-666.
Drug syndicate boss, wanted on 58 different counts! Yikes!
He's a real big-time crook.
We've been hot on his heels...
but just when we think we have him, he slips through our fingers.
It never ceases to amaze me how low some criminals go.
We spent last night on a stakeout again.
I bet you get a lot of points if you land a big-timer like this.
I wish I could go after biggies like this with Batanen...
all through the night.
What's that silly smile about?
Go around looking like that and you could be his next victim.
A NIGHT YOU FEEL LI KE CRYI NG
The Lamp Cafe breakfast special is such a bargain!
You bet. And that egg is as smooth as your skin.
Natsuki! We have a call!
Warrant No. TI-067.
The dispatcher said this one's been running amok.
Where are the others?
Too busy with that other big case. Hurry or the bastard could get away.
He's said to be really vicious. Be careful.
Outside!
Please let me go!
- That's a ruthless outlaw? - No doubt about it.
You're right.
Please let me go.
There's no point in talking to him. Let's just shoot him.
No, we have to follow the rules.
You're under arrest for violation of the Endangered Species Law...
the Narcotics Control Law...
and numerous other charges.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say may be used against you in a court of law!
Excellent, excellent. You said it perfectly today.
Stop making fun of me.
I was only speaking the truth.
I can always count on my Orihalcon blade.
Sheesh! I unloaded all my bullets.
Silver tips are supposed to do more damage.
I wonder if they're fakes.
We've already met our quota for the month!
You're right.
I've been doing well at rhythmic breathing, too...
so maybe I even have a chance at being the top earner this month.
What's that?
It's the MAD Police Corporation.
A bunch of jerks!
What a shame!
Hey, who are you rooting for?
Naturally I'm rooting for the MAD-- Oh.
Why would you want to root for our archrivals?
I guess I have mixed feelings.
They sure are lucky, being able to fly like that.
Why can't our company have at least an airbike?
Then I could get into dogfights, too.
I'll distract him.
You launch your net.
They got him.
We're both private police companies, so why are they so much better off?
MAD Police Corporation has lots of retired bureaucrats working for them.
They have an inside track on the latest government surplus.
So that's why they're so well-equipped.
The target has been captured.
Let's return to base.
Wait, Natsuki. Don't call the office yet.
Think about it.
There are lots of private and public police agencies...
besides us and the Metropolitan Police Department.
Things may be going great now, but eventually there'll be a winter.
A winter?
We're hunters...
and when hunters overhunt, they end up going hungry.
You're such a house cat when it comes to stuff like that.
What's that supposed to mean?
Humans have a bad habit of taking all they can get.
But if you're smart, you never take more than you need.
I see.
My, my. Is that sour grapes?
I wondered what you had caught. Now I see it's just a small-timer.
Oh, yeah?
I suppose that's about the size of it for you guys.
Try harder next time, Ms. Fox.
She's only a human, and she thinks she can make fun of me?
Sakura's scary when she gets like this.
Natsuki!
We're gonna catch 'em and catch 'em and keep catching 'em.
But isn't that the opposite of what you were just saying?
All we have to do is not report them to the boss.
We'll bury them and save them for later.
Then we can dig them up and turn them into cash whenever we need to!
That's brilliant, Sakura.
In the wild, it's just common sense.
He's getting away. Cover me, Tommy.
Let's go, Kondo.
You circle around back.
Son of a bitch.
Kondo!
Are you all right? Talk to me!
Yeah, I'm okay. I was wearing my body armor.
- I'm just a bit stunned. - Which way did he go?
I think that way.
Somewhere in that cluster of buildings.
Maybe we should go in en masse for a showdown.
I thought for sure he'd go down.
What are you doing, Sakura?
I thought I'd make these bullets a little more lethal.
Aren't those what you call dumdums?
So you know about them.
Are you sure it's okay?
Those goddamn sons of bitches!
Is something wrong, Kondo?
You almost never use firearms so you probably haven't noticed...
but they've been giving us cheap ammo lately.
Even when your aim is perfect, the target doesn't go down.
Right. The company's supposed to be buying genuine silver bullets.
But they're not?
Sometimes they're only silver-plated.
Really?
Pure silver possesses a divine power for stopping evil.
The purer it is, the more powerful it is.
These are way too impure to have any divine powers.
You guys at least have other special powers...
but I'm just a human with nothing else to fall back on.
Special powers aren't a cure-all either.
They can really sap your strength.
If they're cutting corners on ammo, this company may really be on the brink.
Ouch! Even this damn body armor's the wrong size. It's too tight!
Hey, everyone!
This is the women's locker room!
I didn't come to peep.
This is our chance to nab this bastard. We need everyone's help.
It's that big-time crook.!
Plus I get to work with Batanen again.!
I assume we'll get overtime for this.
Don't worry. I'll talk to Mr. Mudagami about it.
My informant tells me the bastard's hideout...
is on the fifth floor of that building.
The problem is, even though this place is in ruins...
a lot of stubborn squatters still live here.
The thing to do is evacuate the whole block.
Good idea, Tommy.
That should cut down on complaints later.
We'll go in at sundown.
Get the residents evacuated before then.
Yes, sir!
What's the matter, granny?
I need some ginger. Also come carrots and celery.
All right, everyone. Let's keep the line moving.
It's almost time.
I'm so excited to be helping Batanen again!
Hooray for you.
Hey! Leave my tail alone.
Drool.
All right. Let's go.
Think again, Kondo! If you blast him beyond recognition, we can't cash in.
There!
Three of a kind.
A flush beats three of a kind.
Sorry. I have a daisangen.
Maybe mixing poker and mahjong isn't really going to work.
Who's there?
Tommy, Kondo, you take care of things here.
Natsuki and Sakura, come with me.
Freeze! We're the Police Company!
There's a kid.
Natsuki, get the kid.
His child could get killed.! Doesn't he even care?
That was close.!
Dad! I want my dad! Let me go!
Settle down! You could get hurt!
You guys are here to kill my dad, right?
No, we're here to arrest him.
Natsuki! Get the kid out of here!
Let me go! I want to go with my dad!
Calm down and do as I say!
I'll get him now!
No! Not in front of the boy!
Dad!
No!
MAD Police Corporation!
Dad!
- That bitch again? - Damn.
Were you guys after this suspect, too?
- Or are you just baby-sitting? - The nerve!
Keep up the good work.
Tell you what.
Why don't I let you have the guy's tail?
Keep your hands off my trophy!
You'll get no mercy from me just because you're a kid.
How cruel! Shooting the father right in front of the child!
You should be thanking me.
If I hadn't shot him, he'd have shot you.
You'd have more holes than a beehive about now.
Murderer! I'll get you for this!
Oh, sure. Come and get me if you can!
I'll avenge my father's death!
You mustn't think that way.! Your father was--
No matter what kind of a man he was...
as far as the boy is concerned, he was his only father.
I'll never forgive you for this!
When they issue a warrant for your arrest, I'll be first in line.
Just make sure your neck is clean.
Yikes! Her tail split completely in two.
She must be really mad.
You're all the same!
You came to kill my dad, too!
I hate you all!
What have I been doing all this time?
What's it really about?
''The Lamp Cafe''
I'm gonna quit this stupidjob.!
I hate it! I can't stand it anymore!
I think you've had enough, Natsuki.
Sorry about this, chief.
That's okay. It's not a problem.
But what in the world happened?
A combination of things.
She'll be fine. Cats never remember anything for more than three days.
That may be true, but--
Even the absolute worst things-- they clean forget about them.
She sure is economical, though.
Just two catnip milks and she's plastered.
I'm never gonna be a bounty hunter again!
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
I quit.! I hate this job.! I can't stand it anymore.!
I'm going back to being just an ordinary girl from now on.
I'm never gonna be a bounty hunter again.!
But I'm getting so confused.
What should I do instead?
Coming next.. ''A Bounty Hunter's Vacation''
Don't you dare miss it.!
