.
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
Each year as the leading edge of blossoming cherries advances northward...
the government announces a week-long flower-viewing holiday.
I always looked forward to it from the time I was little...
because school would let out, too.
But I never actually went flower viewing myself.
They always told me it was for grown-ups.
I suppose that's because of all the drinking that goes on.
I don't understand it.
I'm sure I put it away in here somewhere.
This is strange. It's simply not here.
But it has to be.
It can't disappear before I've worn it even once.
Here it is!
I found it!
The day has finally come.
This irrepressible thumping in my chest is for real.!
The day is here. It's here!
It's finally here!
''Everybody, Strange?''
Say, Sakunoshin...
don't you just love it when there's this bouncy feeling in the air?
Bouncy feeling?
What kind of tripe is that?
What I feel in the air is tension, all over town, and more every day.
What a wonderful breeze!
Summer and fall and winter are nice, too...
but I like spring the best.
This restlessness I sense can be only one thing..a portent ofbattle.!
There's a battle brewing.!
Into the fray.!
I always get so drowsy...
at this time of year.
What?
I have such delicate white skin...
and a figure to die for, if I do say so myself.
Don't you agree, Sakunoshin?
What do you think of this black kimono?
Doesn't it just give you the most tempting ideas?
Oh, my!
I'm like putty in your hands, Sakunoshin.
You're loopy.
I'm not talking to you.
Where did you go, Sakunoshin?
Don't be a tease.
Where are you, Sakunoshin?
Where's Sakunoshin?
Sakunoshin?
Bye!
It's 4..35.
Any minute now, she'll come by on her patrol.
O sweet Peau, with your crystal eyes, so pure and sublime...
your long, blond hair blowing in the breeze...
your transparent white skin, so supple and smooth...
I just know these red heels will look perfect on you.
So Sakura just took off, and she's been gone ever since.
Sakunoshin hasn't been back either.
To change the subject, have you had an itchy nose...
or been experiencing a low-grade fever lately?
No, I've been in perfect health.
I see.
Well, that's good to hear.
Hey!
Isn't that Tommy?
What's he doing here?
I'm not a pigeon, you know.
Miss Peau!
Could I offer you these as a token of my feelings?
Please wear these...
and walk all over me!
This is what I hate about spring.
Miss Peau.
Wait, Miss Peau.
I'm on duty.
Should I stop the boat?
I don't have a taste for that sort of thing.
Full speed ahead!
Let's forget we saw him.
What do you think?
I can't believe it.
I would normally say...
there's no way ordinary steel can cut through Orihalcon.
But you're definitely right. This blade was cut in two, not broken.
That's what I thought.
It's hard to believe...
but perhaps that person is trained in a lost art of some kind.
Trained in a lost art?
I didn't realize Sakunoshin was that special.
My apologies.
I sensed violence in the air. Where is the battle?
I wonder.
Might you be willing to let me have this dagger?
But--
As a sword smith, I'd like to study what happened to the blade.
In exchange, I have this knife that belonged to my father.
You can have it.
It's made of Orihalcon, too.
I can have this?
It's seen a lot of use.
The thick blade looks sturdy, and the handle fits my grip.
And it looks so cool.!
It's perfect, Batanen!
Are you sure it's okay for me to take it?
It'll do you a lot more good than it'll do me.
I'm so lucky!
The blade's a bit short, but it feels real easy to handle.
- I'm next. - I'm after him.
Get lost, you lowlifes!
Say, Batanen, what were all those people lined up for a while ago?
It's a secret.
What do you mean? Tell me.
Come on. Tell me.
If you don't tell me, I'm gonna give you a huggy hug.
Could this be...?
Ouch!
I'm sorry. Did that hurt?
Then I'll lick it for you.
No doubt about it.
She's in heat.
Oh, God!
You're going to catch cold, Batanen!
Sakunoshin!
You mean it? That's really what flower viewing's all about?
Uh-huh. Because spring is mating season.
Here you go.
I hear some folks spend the entire week without sleep or rest...
all for the sake of preserving the species.
I am not in heat!
But it's the way of nature.
It does seem like that rain coming down in buckets...
cooled everybody off a bit.
You're wrong!
I'd never carry on indecently like that.
You're wrong!
Lieutenant Peau?
Oh, good. You're here.
Task Force 8 has requested more robots for next week's roundup.
I thought they put out the call for civilian help on this sweep.
They're cutting expenses.
I've got enough headaches from my own cases.
I wish they wouldn't saddle me with theirs.
They want 38 units.
And they expect me to work overtime without pay to get them ready?
Hey!
Leave some for me.
O Water Spirits, source of all life...
hear my voice.
Obey my commands.
My name is Peau.
Grant this unit your powers most pure.
I like coming here because she always has goodies.
Mind if I have some tea?
You're off tomorrow, right? Want to go shopping with me?
I can't. There's something I have to do.
Oh, come on. Don't be so unsociable.
Which reminds me. He's been here three days running.
- Huh? - You should show some sympathy.
He's like a puppy dog. The model of fidelity.
Model of fidelity, my foot.!
Talk like that could give people the wrong idea.
What should I do?
Could you please stop bothering me?
He's not here.
Shimoda,you jerk.
I bet it was a ploy to get the cookies all to herself!.
Miss Peau.
This isn't the place!
You moron!
They really are barbaric.
Blowing off a team meeting...
to go skirt-chasing!
You left your cell phone off, but I know you heard the dog whistle!
Miss Peau! Please don't go!
Are you hearing a word I'm saying?
Batanen, you don't have to be so hard on him.
Miss Peau!
Let's go, Tommy.
Hurry up!
Tommy!
That's enough, Tommy. Get up!
Is something the matter? Hey, he's burning with fever!
Are you all right?
Sorry to drag you into this, Natsuki.
Don't mention it. We're a team, aren't we?
I wonder if we got in the way of a budding relationship.
Did you see the way they were looking at each other when we showed up?
- I think there was something there. - Yeah?
Miss Peau.
He must really be in love with her.
You're going to be okay.
He thinks I'm Peau.
I'm right here.
Don't worry about a thing.
You need to get your rest.
Miss Peau.
Hey!
Now, now.
Get well soon.
Then we can go on a date.
What am I going to do now?
It's almost time for Tommy's date!
You're just going to have to tell him the truth.
I think so, too.
But you should have seen how excited he was.
''Where do you think Miss Peau would like me to take her?''
When I saw the spark in his eye...
I didn't have the heart to tell him it was actually me.
Considering he was practically in a coma...
it's a shame he had to remember that part.
If Sakura were here, I just know she'd know what to do.
Where are you, Sakunoshin?
I guess not!
What do you think, Batanen? What should I do?
Well, if it's just once, maybe we can manage something.
You're about the same height as Peau...
so if you hide your ears and tail--
Your ears are sticking out from under the wig.
Do you really think this is going to work?
Don't worry.
Tommy's got a good nose, but his eyesight isn't all that great.
Plus right now his judgment is impaired.
Just keep that hood pulled down over your face.
Here. This is the jasmine perfume Peau uses.
It smells nice.
You need a little more.
And one more thing, Natsuki.
If you see a mouse or something, just grit your teeth and act normal.
I'm not sure I can!
Now go!
Miss Peau.
He's already here.
I had a hard time deciding where we should go...
but I finally decided you'd feel most comfortable on the waterfront.
Thank you.
Then I thought, why not right on a boat?
The seafood here is awesomely good.
Please dig in before it gets cold.
Yikes. It's still bubbling hot.
Is something the matter? It's really delicious, I tell you.
Don't let it get cold.
Oh, maybe you have a sensitive tongue, like cats?
Not really.
Uh-oh. He's getting suspicious.
See? Isn't it delicious?
It's wonderful. It brings tears to my eyes.
My mouth feels like it's going to explode.
Do you like having your fortune told, Miss Peau?
Yes, I do.
There's a fortune teller up here who's supposed to be really good.
''Water Mirror''
Here's the place. After you.
Hello.
Come in.
Could you wait out here a minute?
Miss Peau! What are you doing in a place like this?
I could ask you the same!
- And why are you dressed like that? - I'm--
But what about yourself? Why are you dressed like that?
I'm--
Moonlighting?
You're moonlighting?
You don't understand.
I seem to recall that civil servants aren't supposed to moonlight.
But sorcery reference books are so expensive!
I can't afford them on my salary.
So I was right about you moonlighting.
We're friends, aren't we? Just look the other way, okay?
I suppose I could be persuaded.
Sorry to keep you waiting. Please come in.
All right!
Oh, my, don't you two make the cutest couple!
Did you hear that, Miss Peau?
Cute, my foot.!
Let's see. You wished to know your suitability as partners.
Shall we begin?
Please hold hands...
make your hearts as one, and gaze into the mirror.
Hold hands?
I get to hold her hand?
I'm starting to see.
Oh, yes. You're a perfect match.
Really?
It's a complete lie.! He gives me goose bumps.!
Did you hear that, Miss Peau?
She says we're a perfect match!
Trample me with those shoes, okay? Now I can die happy!
I couldn't find a battle anywhere. 'Tis a bitter disappointment.
Sakunoshin.
It's Sakura.
Where are you? Stop playing hide-and-seek.
I told you I'm in no mood for games!
I've finally found you!
Sakura!
I've got you now!
Don't try to resist!
Sakura, stop!
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
Children are so cute.

Does it have something to do with all that flower viewing?
Arghh.! Here, there, and everywhere, it's nothing but kids.!
