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
My morning begins...
on my favorite veranda with a glass of chilled milk...
a bag of dried sardines...
and a glance through the morning paper...
to catch up on the latest news.
''Outstanding Warrants''
It seems like I see a lot more cats on this page than before.
I bet it's because they're not getting enough calcium.
They should eat more dried sardines...
and learn not to be so touchy when things don't go their way.
''The Mole -- Serial Bank Robber''
Yikes! A serial bank robber.
He works in broad daylight. That's pretty brazen.
This is how I try to get my sleepy mind and body into gear but--
Damn it! Who's the nitwit who wet the bed?
''Children Floating, Natsuki Fainting''
Stay right there, you little devil!
Now I've got you.
She got me!
It's not funny.
You better mind your mother, or you're gonna get a whipping.
I won't do it again!
Too late.
They're complete terrors, Sakura!
Oh, were you there? Sorry.
Sorry.
Last month, Sakura gave birth to three cubs.
Mommy, I'm hungry.
The girls look just like Sakura.
And the boy looks like Sakunoshin.
You shouldn't peek. Sakura's still pretty jumpy.
Babies sure are cute, though, aren't they?
Maybe someday Peau and I can have our own!
They're such sweet little angels.
Have you decided on names yet?
I was thinking we'd call them Matsu, Take, and Ume.
I don't think that's such a good idea.
You're not talking about takeout sushi, you know.
Besides, how're you going to decide which is Matsu and which is Ume?
You have a point. It wouldn't be fair, would it?
Then how about White, Black, and Spot?
- Out of the question. - Overruled.
You seem to think this is no more serious...
than putting a label on some music you've taped.
Well, it's only their childhood names.
Back then I really thought children were angels.
Come back here!
Don't look at me like that.
Wait! Don't leave me here alone!
I caught you red-handed this time.
Your punishment is a time-out in the closet...
and you lose your snacks.
- We're sorry. - Sorry.
Oh, I didn't mean it that way.
It's really no big deal.
They seem to have Sakura's knack for manipulation.
It's really aggravating.
With one thing and another, the house is always a mess now.
Target straight ahead. Detail advance on hands and knees.
Scout the area for presence of enemy.
Yes, sir!
What's all the ruckus about?
Can't a body get some rest around here?
They bit my tail again.
You better not use your electrical pulse on the little ones.
I'd never do that!
It's just...
I sure wish they'd stop using me for their hunting practice.
The house has pretty much been taken over by Sakura's family.
What in the world?
This is supposed to be a coffee shop, not a day-care center.
Oh, right. We recently went through the mating season.
Hi, Natsuki.
On your way to work? It's a bit crowded, but have a seat.
You look tired.
I haven't been getting enough sleep.
Not enough sleep? That's too bad.
Warm up a cup of the usual, will you?
One hot milk, coming right up.
Actually, one lukewarm milk, since Natsuki's tongue is so sensitive.
Here you go.
Thanks.
Isn't there any place I can get some peace and quiet?
Be careful, Natsuki.
Oh, dear. What's gotten into me?
You naughty boy. Tell the young lady you're sorry.
- I'm so sorry. - That's okay.
By the way, are Sakura and Sakunoshin making formal wedding plans?
I think they're waiting until they're more settled.
Has Sakura said whether she'll wear the traditional white kimono?
I think she'd look better in a wedding dress myself.
Hey there, chief. I need a break.
Mr. Mudagami! You're just the man I need to see.
Got any good leads on jobs?
Unfortunately, no.
Don't be that way.
No, really. I'm fresh out of work.
In that case, you're free to look after my kids for a while.
Huh? Wait. What just happened?
What's going on here?
Come on, Natsuki, let's go.
- Gotta work to eat, you know. - Wait!
Where are we going, Sakura?
Hey, are these kids trying to eat me?
All right! Time to earn some milk money!
I've no use for small fry. We're going for the big-timers.
''Pomegranate Bank'' We can't hunt hit or miss anymore.
Jobs that are quick and lucrative-- that's what we're after.
- Wait. - What?
I have to make the utility payments.
All right.
Every since Sakunoshin moved in and they had kids...
our utility bills have tripled.
- Would you like one of these? - These'll be perfect for the kids!
- That many? - I've got three little ones at home.
Don't worry. I'll be making a large deposit when we make our big catch.
In the meantime, keep your vault polished nice and shiny.
What the--
Don't move!
And give me a call if you get hit by bank robbers.
I'll give you a discount on my services.
What's going on?
Fill this bag with money, and be quick about it.
That's the guy in this morning's paper!
The stinking bastard!
You can't use that, Sakura. There's too many people around.
You're right. And besides...
how could I face my Osakan ancestors...
if I ruined all those piles of bills?
Nobody move!
The bank's been robbed!
Somebody call the police!
Yes, sir!
Call the main branch right away!
Main branch, tree branch-- call whomever you want.
But the first thing you need to do is open that vault for us.
Who are you?
Bounty hunters!
These say we're in training, but that's just temporary.
Makes sense. He's a mole, so he burrowed his way in from underneath.
That makes it easy.
We just follow this tunnel and it'll lead us straight to him!
You really think it'll be that easy?
Wise up, kid.
Things go a whole lot easier...
if you don't make things harder than they have to be.
Stop dilly-dallying and get going.
You mean I have to go first?
Of course.
It's always been the cat's job to go after the rat in the hole.
He's a mole, not a rat.
Stop arguing and get moving!
Ouch!
It's dank down here!
This leads into the maze of the sewer system. This could be tough.
But it's got to connect somewhere with the mole's hideout. Let's go.
The tunnel's getting smaller and smaller, Sakura.
Stop complaining and keep walking.
Yikes! Help, Sakura!
Shall we see where this goes?
Stop kicking me, Sakura!
I can't help it.
I see light.
Sorry.
I figured the only creature likely to come crawling out of there...
was the mole himself.
It's not funny, damn it!
Know what I think?
Crawling around where no one can see you is just your speed.
Watch what you say!
- Look, it's Kondo. - Whadda ya know?
- Long time no see. - What are you doing with her?
She saw the light and joined my company last week.
She really couldn't see working with monsters like you anymore.
Of all people, why would you want to pair up with this spiteful grubber?
Fonne may have a sharp tongue...
but she knows what's right and has a solid record.
So those two are on this case, too. We'll have to keep on our toes.
I'm aware of that.
So you do have some respect for their work.
It's nice to know Kondo is doing well.
I guess she's a hunter to the core, too.
Come on! Back to work.
The sewers again?
Of course.
Do you really think he's still down here, Sakura?
I would think he'd be long gone by now.
You're an idiot. Think about that F-Elf Flyer we just saw.
Up top is crawling with patrols right now.
I promise you, the mole is still down here.
I have my doubts.
I can't believe my luck!
One, two...
Freeze, or I'll blow your head off!.
You're under arrest for serial bank robbery.
You have the right to remain silent...
Damn!
Anything... you say... may be used... against you...
in a court of law.
Halt!
Come back here!
Oh, my.
Halt! Come back here!
One false move and this kid is dead!
Think of the child, Sakura!
I know. I'm a mother now, too.
- I won't shoot. - Sakura.
But that means you have to get him.
I'll keep him distracted here.
Why me?
Don't worry. I promise to pick up all your bones.
Just go.
Look. We're not necessarily bent on arresting you.
Hand over one of those stacks of bills, and maybe we'll let you go.
Put a sock in it! Did you really think I'd fall for that?
I wasn't totally lying!
Why should I have to go through this?
The stars don't seem to be on my side today.
I can climb this and jump.
''Danger! Stay Off''
What was that?
Just some cat and bird duking it out.
If a little thing like that scares you, you must be a real wuss.
Shut up and throw down your gun!
All right, you win. No need to get so worked up.
Here you go.
I got you.
Give it up!
You're a real cutie.
Though you're no comparison to my own.
Take that guy in and pick up the reward, Natsuki.
I have to go pick up my kids.
I feel like Sakura and her family...
have squeezed every last ounce of strength out of me.
I'm home.
Isn't there any place I can get peace and quiet anymore?
''The Lamp Cafe''
Sounds like Natsuki's getting really discouraged.
Sparks could fly at any moment.
That could be real bad.
Being a cat, Natsuki probably doesn't like having her territory encroached on.
When there are kids around, everything centers on them.
Sounds like it's only a matter of time before she snaps.
Maybe we should go check on her.
What are you doing up there? It's time to eat.
Are you finally going into heat?
No way.
Better hurry, or there won't be any left.
Let go of it!
It's mine!
But you ate all the potatoes!
I did not!
Pipe down, or you won't get any dinner at all!
Hey! That was mine!
What's the matter?
Uh-oh!
The Sasaharas again.
I heard it was a gas explosion.
How terrifying!
Looks like we're too late.
It's a complete loss.
Are you all right, Sakunoshin?
What happened?
The kids were fighting over food...
and then suddenly there was this pillar of flame.
Demon fire.
It's an inborn instinct of my kind.
I guess raising them as free spirits makes it easier for instinct to bloom.
Anybody seen Natsuki?
Where are you, Natsuki?
Natsuki! Answer me!
Natsuki! Are you all right?
Batanen, look.
Charcoal? What about it?
Are you all right, Natsuki?
What's wrong, Natsuki?
It was apparently set off by a voltage leak.
How frightening!
Please calm down, Natsuki!
And Sakura, hurry up and apologize.
We get to go for a ride on a wagon!
Maybe things got a little out of hand this time.
Say, Dad, this is called flight by night, right?
We're not fleeing. We're going on a journey.
Get out!
- I hate you all! - Try to calm down, Natsuki.
Everybody out!
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
My house burned to the ground, and all my memories are gone.
What a disaster.!
But actually, I'm grateful about one thing.
Now I get to be with Batanen all the time.
Makes me want to sing.!
Is it okay if I stay with you forever, Batanen?
Coming next.. ''An Era of Cohabitation''
Yikes.! I'm blushing.!
