.
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
Father?
''The Good Sunny Side of the Veranda''
Of course it's me. Your very own Pop.
I've only been gone two years. Did you already forget my face?
But...
you were supposed to be gone three years, visiting ruins around the world.
This is your old man?
Land sakes! You're both covered with mud.
- Yikes! My shoes! - Oh, sorry!
It's almost time for dinner, so hurry up with your baths.
I smell something burning, dear.
Oh, my goodness!
I'm afraid the fish is going to be a little overdone.
Your mom is really pretty, Natsuki.
My mother?
But my mother was supposed to be in retreat in the mountains.
Hey, everybody! You won't believe the huge open-air hot spring I found!
One day a mysterious dome appeared over Arakawa Ward and surrounding areas.
None of the people who entered the dome to investigate came back...
including Sakura, so we decided to go in after them...
and see if we could find them.
Are you Natsuki's boyfriend?
Well...that is...
Maybe you should be getting on home. Wouldn't want to worry your folks.
Huh?
No! You have to stay!
Take it easy, Natsuki.
This is embarrassing.
But...
Keep your eyes closed tight, or the shampoo will sting.
Okay.
I don't know why, but something tells me we need to stay together.
We can't let ourselves get separated for even an instant.
If we do, then I'm afraid you'll disappear just like Tommy did.
Everything feels so warm and fuzzy here under the dome.
But that very fact also makes me a little uneasy.
Can I get out?
Not yet. Count to ten first.
One, two, three, four, five.
I'm getting out.
Let's play!
After you get your jammies on.
I'm not gonna wear red jammies!
Wait! You'll catch cold running around like that.
Where'd you go, Batanen?
All right!
I wish she'd hurry up and find me.
Come on, Natsuki.
Hurry up and find me.
He doesn't seem to be in here.
Go away! Shoo!
Help!
Batanen!
Oh, dear! You wet your pants!
Sorry you have to wear my jammies.
No, I'm sorry.
Oh, forget it.
Seems like I'm returning more and more to my childhood.
You'll get cavities if you suck on that before going to bed.
I think I'm in heaven.!
If I wet my pants again, I'll never be able to face her.
No, Batanen.
I have to go to the bathroom.
I'm not scared.
Is this really how it's supposed to be?
Stay away from me!
It's a present for you, Batanen.
- Let's play, Batanen. - Yeah!
Here goes!
This is fun, isn't it, Batanen?
Uh-huh.
Hey, Natsuki! Want to do some fireworks?
Coming!
Wait until Natsuki's here, dear.
I love fireworks!
I thought you were going to play with me, Natsuki!
Natsuki!
Mine fell off.
Mine, too.
Mom's so good at making hers last!
She sure is, isn't she?
You two just don't have the touch.
I'm gonna do one of the big ones.
Here, let me help you. Those can be dangerous.
Wow! That's pretty!
Natsuki! Time for breakfast!
Huh?
I wonder who that was for.
Are you going home now?
Come play again sometime.
I'm never coming again!
And just when the monsters seemed ready to take over the world...
the champions of justice appeared on the scene.
- And they were called... - The bounty hunters!
The bounty hunters.
The bounty hunters? Sounds familiar somehow.
Hey, you there in the back. This isn't a free show.
Buy some candy or crackers if you're going to watch.
Huh? Oh, sure. I've got some money.
Here.
Sorry, kid, I don't take play money.
Oh, come on. Let me watch.
No can do.
You mustn't do that, Natsuki.
But it's fun.
You're making Batanen cry.
Huh? Was that this bear's name?
If you don't treat him nice, he might decide to run away.
Yes, ma'am.
Something's weird.
I feel like I'm forgetting something terribly important.
I feel like I might lose something very precious--my greatest treasure.
But I can't remember what it is. I feel really weird.!
I can't stand this!
It's not my problem.
More.
I am Nupu, king of beasts!
Are you a naughty boy?
Heh, heh. It doesn't get better than this!
I destroyed the house.
Oh, this star was--
What have I been doing?
And Batanen... What happened to Batanen?
Gonyo gonyo gonyo
Who in the world is that?
What's going on?
The house-- How did he do that?
He's already that far away?
Hello! Excuse me!
He sure moves fast for an old man.
All right, Batanen sweetie. Put your head right here.
Just relax and let me take care of you.
That feels so good.
Open wide.
Time for your nap, sweetie.
I wasn't finished cleaning his ears.
- Eating comes first. - No, his nap does.
What am I supposed to do?
Stop it!
Please stop, Batanen!
Natsuki.
You've got nerve, after forgetting all about him!
That's not true.
Wait! Stop!
- What's the matter? - Don't you want me to take care of you?
She gave you the cold shoulder, didn't she? Don't pay any attention to her.
Batanen.
Tell you what. How about we have Batanen decide who he likes best?
Good idea.
Huh? But... I mean...
All right, then, we'll fight for him. Whoever wins gets him.
That's enough!
Get lost!
I was under some kind of spell.
Sorry about that, Natsuki.
Batanen.
Hey, what's with that old man?
Huh?
Come with me, Batanen.
Who is he?
I'm guessing he has something to do with all that's been going on.
Excuse me, sir.
Sakura!
My Sakura!
What do you think you're doing?
Good-for-nothing kids, hurting an old man!
This is your punishment.
Have you come to?
Sakura?
Oh, are you a friend of my daughter's?
You're Sakura's mother?
I must apologize for the whole family for the trouble we seem to have caused.
Sakura's father is in his dotage, and he sometimes wanders off.
I've been looking for him all over the place.
What's that?
It's a pentacle, placed there by Sakura's father.
Pentacle?
This whole to-do was from my husband scattering these around. I'm so sorry.
You mean this place is--
On-kiri-kiri un-hatto.
What's going on?
What happened to the hot spring?
Honey? Where're the kids?
This water's cold!
Do you think maybe...
I've been had!
A pentacle?
That means my old man's still alive!
Let me go!
I really must apologize. He's not a bad man.
It's just what happens when a Yin-Yang Master goes dotty.
I've been keeping him sealed up inside so he couldn't get into trouble...
but he managed to escape when I wasn't looking.
I wanted to see my grandkids, that's all.
Do you realize how much trouble you caused?
Can't an innocent old man have some harmless fun?
Who are you calling innocent?
Sakura!
I'm so embarrassed!
Batanen! Natsuki!
It's great to see you back to your normal self, Tommy!
We were really worried about you, Tommy.
Sorry.
I'm so glad it's over.
Now, stay put this time, and don't come out.
Well, I suppose we should be getting on our way.
You know, Sakura, you and Sakunoshin really should have a proper ceremony.
You can keep your nose out of my business, if you please.
I'll be back for a more leisurely stay so I can get to know my grandchildren.
I want to get to know them, too.
That won't be necessary!
''Do not open. Do not place upright.''
I hope you'll all come and see us in Amagasaki sometime.
And please give our regards to your husband, Sakura.
- I will. - Good-bye, then.
I thought you didn't have any family, Sakura.
Oh, be quiet. It's a complicated story.
How come you didn't recognize it as one of your father's spells?
I said be quiet!
Man, I feel like I've been having a blissful dream.
I suppose.
But I wonder why Natsuki didn't fall under the spell.
Hard to say.
It's not really that I didn't fall under the spell...
but for one thing, I don't remember my mother all that well. And besides...
Hey, everybody!
And besides, compared to a world of false illusions...
I really love being in this world with all my wonderful friends.
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
Space-time holes have started popping up all over, centering on Shinjuku...
and Peau has been running around like crazy to plug them up.
I guess being a spirit summoner can be a demanding job.
Tommy, it's times like this that you really have to be there for her.
But wait a minute.
What're you doing with that other girl, Tommy?
You're not two-timing, are you?
Coming next.. ''Peau's Depression''
I sure do wonder, though, what could be creating those holes.
