#53 Gangster Soul
It's good to have you back!
Welcome back. It's been a while.
Boss, it's good to see you again.
I, Koji Nagata, have served my time, and now I've returned to Inugane Group.
I'm ready to work hard for you.
Excellent. You're the man who used to be called "Mr. Gokudo."
I'm counting on you.
INUGANE COMPANY
By the way, what happened to Yamamoto and his buddies?
Ah, those three.
Things have changed.
Hey, take him to them.
GOKUDOLS TRAINING CAMP ROOM
Hello... Captain.
Welcome back.
Sorry for not coming to properly greet you.
I'd heard a little about you guys, but...
I didn't think it would be this convincing.
Who is who, anyway?
FIVE YEARS AGO
What is "Gokudo"?
It's like a samurai of the underworld.
Let go of all frivolous feelings.
If you're here to show off, withdraw from the group now.
The world sees us as bad guys in society, but they're wrong.
We exist to provide a balance in society and keep it progressing.
That's why the world needs us.
Stick to Gokudo with pride!
You taught us the gangster soul with passion.
It's always with us.
That's why we couldn't show ourselves to you, looking like this.
It's all right.
I understand. I know how you guys feel.
I don't care how you look. That unbreakable spirit is what counts.
Captain!
Thank you, Captain! You are the best!
So, what exactly do you guys do?
I hear you're now a core part of our business.
It's embarrassing for us, but...
we do what idols do, like holding concerts and filming segments.
Sounds challenging, but you've been contributing to the organization.
For the group and the Gokudo way of life!
You can do any kind of work, so long as it's virtuous.
Understood! Our gangster soul has ignited once again!
Good! Then there's nothing for me to worry about, right?
Hoo-ah! Of course not!
Your teachings are our bible.
Five years ago, until the very last moment,
you showed us your gangster soul.
Don't let the public authorities win! Show them the power of gangster soul!
Gokudo forever!
Heh-heh. Did I say that?
From tomorrow, we'll do virtuous jobs that reflect the Gokudo way of life.
Yeah, that's good.
NEXT DAY
TAKE DOWN THE YAKUZA
THE GOKUDOLS HATE YAKUZA!
Hey...
#54 All for nothing
You did a good job as temporary police officers.
Those weird banners were made by the project manager.
It must have been awkward for you.
But this kind of activity helps improve your image, so let's keep at it.
Never again!
We've completely lost the Captain's trust since then.
"Wipe out Gokudo," was it?
Our sincerest apologies.
In fact, I've got very deep ties with your company.
Not that any of you would know.
Deep ties?
Could he be...?
Well, I won't tell you the details.
It's about the relationship with a parent company.
Just do what I say. I won't lead you astray.
Ah, excuse me for a moment.
That asshole must be a corrupt cop, extorting money from our group.
No doubt about it.
"Do what I say"? Screw him! Asshole.
Hold on, I've just come up with a good idea.
This might be a chance to earn the Captain's trust back
while also honoring his words.
Don't let the public authorities win!
How?
Our group would be better off if that guy disappears.
There's a perfect way of doing it that only we can pull off.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
What happened?
Wait! It's not my fault!
Sir, what the hell are you doing?
No! These girls suddenly--
-This man groped me! -What?
I took photos of everything he did!
Today, a shocking incident occurred.
An active police officer sexually assaulted a member of an idol group
who became the honorary chiefs of the police station for one day.
This is the man arrested on the spot: Hideki Tamura, 45 years old.
Captain! We did it!
We didn't let the public authorities win!
We carried out your order!
27 YEARS AGO INUGANE GROUP
We'll work hard for you.
We'll lay down our lives for the Inugane Group.
Are you two friends?
We grew up in the same facility together.
We're like brothers.
My group is putting together an ambitious plan.
I'll need one of you to become a police officer.
A police officer?
In other words, a mole.
You've become a cop for real. As I knew, you must be very smart.
Cut it out.
It's gonna be hard for us to go drinking together from here on.
It won't be easy for either of us, but let's do our best.
Yeah.
Let's make our own group someday.
Don't betray the group after rising through the ranks.
That would never happen.
You're the one who's always being reckless and making our plans fail.
Be careful.
Shut up. Before that happens, don't get fired from the police.
Boss would exile you immediately.
I know that!
Let's watch each other's backs.
We turned in all the evidence, so that guy is toast!
INUGANE COMPANY
A mole!
A 27-year project. A 40-year friendship.
Both of them have been destroyed.
#55 Help Me
NEW SINGLE "PLEASE HELP ME" SPECIAL VIP FIVE-MINUTE MEETING EVENT
CHIKA
I didn't have the money to buy a thousand copies,
so I sold stuff like Mom's wedding ring and Dad's watch.
And they found out.
Go to hell!
Oh, my! Thank you.
So, what happened?
They got really mad, but I'm not sure why.
So I burned the house down.
That's so crazy!
What about your parents? Don't tell me...
What are you saying, Chika? They weren't home, of course!
I wouldn't kill my parents!
I have to make them proud someday!
I don't think you could ever do that!
My family is rich, so they can just buy another house.
That's why I can't do anything for them.
I don't want to work, though!
This is seriously exhausting.
OK, it's been five minutes.
Next person, please.
Chika, I brought these.
What... are these?
It's the underwear that I wear on special occasions.
Oh, no, don't worry.
I'm not asking you to keep them or smell them, of course.
I'm not that awful.
You don't have to say anything.
Just stare at them for five minutes.
She's looking. She's really looking at...
my underwear!
It's embarrassing. Embarrassing!
It's embarrassing to see you staring at them so hard.
Next person!
Enough. This is so stressful.
Chika, what's wrong?
It's been a while.
Huh? Who are you?
Oh, excuse me.
Jin Takamura. It's been six months.
What are you doing here?
Forget about that.
We don't have time. Kiss me.
What? What are you asking? There's no way I could do that!
Too loud! Keep your voice down.
Kiss me, or I'll use all of my influence to force you out of the spotlight.
It would be a piece of cake for me.
You get it, right?
Alright, here I come.
I'm done with this.
I feel sick. This is a whole new level of hell.
Chika, can I ask a favor?
What?
Actually, I'm a masochist. I love being punched.
I know it must be hard for a girl like you to do it...
but could you punch me just once?
It's all I could ever want.
Coach, I feel happiest when I'm boxing!
I forget all of my troubles and stress.
Whoa! What?
Hey! Are you OK?
OK, next person.
I wanted to see you every day, so I got surgery, but ended up like this.
What are you gonna do? Huh? Take responsibility!
PLEASE HELP ME
#56 Graduation
Brother!
How have you been?
Good, good.
What the hell is this? I don't get it!
We've seen you a lot recently. Aren't you busy?
Business is rough right now.
Do you have any good schemes?
Like I said, the idol industry is the best.
Is it that lucrative?
Oh, yeah, it is.
Then maybe I should try it.
Fickle as always, aren't you?
My fucking brother!
Brother, you bastard!
So, I'd like this guy back.
See? You should have taken him from the start.
Brother, you bastard.
Sorry, sorry, fucking brother.
Brother, don't give up on it this time.
I'll teach you everything you need to know.
Yes, yes, brother! I'll definitely do it!
Father, does that mean I'm going back to America?
Sure. You're coming back to the family, and you'll work hard as an idol.
Oh, God! Thank you! Thank you, Father!
GOKUDOLS TRAINING CAMP ROOM
This time he's gonna do it for real.
Really?
You can't really trust Don.
No, it's happening for real this time.
The family's in trouble, so there's no way he would give up on it.
Good, then. I'm happy for you.
You seem to be leaving for real this time.
I've been a long, long way from home.
Come visit us anytime.
Yes, I'll bring you great liquor from America!
Take care, everyone.
Lina...
You're leaving?
Yui...
Work hard and cover my part, too.
Who was the girl who cried as we left?
She was a damn cutie!
Ah, that was Yui, a trainee.
She's cute, isn't she? I mean, she is a real girl after all.
I see.
I hadn't thought of that.
I can use a real girl.
Why did you get a sex change, again?
No matter how cute you've become through surgery,
you can't be cuter than real girls.
Hey, get out of the car.
I hope that you get reincarnated as a girl.
Good luck!
You can't believe anything.
Lina... returned to the group.
#57 Step Up
I haven't done anything for this group.
I've contributed nothing to their popularity.
I'm just a bystander.
I've taken countless idols to the next level,
but ever since I took on this group, I'm like a figurehead.
I need to reach the next level.
If I don't do anything about this, I'm finished.
We can't hear you, everyone!
Let's be super virtuous!
New single: "Love Sentence!"
Serve a term in the love prison Take this bullet for me
Hurry up, do your time Prove your loyalty to your love!
Next is my turn to work
The fruits of love's labor are very sweet
Rocket up, become top brass in love!
It makes no sense.
But it speaks to me!
Lyrics! That should take me to the next level!
GOKUDOLS TRAINING CAMP ROOM
I tried writing a song. Could you read it?
Huh? You wrote this? Why?
Well, it's... no big deal, right?
Uh... "I love you, I love you. I kiss you, I kiss you.
I want to feel you.
Kiss me on my pink lips.
Oh, no! I'm so embarrassed. Tee-hee."
Are you a pervert?
How old are you?
This is creepy.
This makes me embarrassed.
How could you write this?
Are you OK?
-Excuse me! -What's wrong?
INUGANE GROUP
It's embarrassing. What do you think the problem is?
It's fine, really.
Not bad for your first attempt.
Really?
The lyrics aren't the problem.
The problem is your attitude.
How can you write wonderful lyrics for idols if you're ashamed of yourself?
Believe in your words, puff up your chest, and shout!
"It's my love pistol! Bang-bang! I offer it to your heart, yeah!
Does it hurt? I'll make you feel better!
One shot, two shots. One more shot at my place? Just kidding!
Don't look at me like that!"
What do you think, Kinoshita? I feel no shame at all!
Thank you, Sensei!
He showed me a new world I never knew existed.
Being timid made me look even creepier.
If you believe in yourself,
even a dirty old man can be cool enough to shout an idol song!
I can see the next level now!
"I want to feel you! Kiss me on my pink lips!"
Wh-What? You...
What? You... That's...
Uh... No, no.
You... Manager? You bastard.
You'd say that to a sexually frustrated guy...
right out of... prison, huh?
OK, I get it.
Just give me some time.
What? No, that's not what... What?
#58 Final episode
TRAINING CAMP ROOM
I'm bored!
-What? -Sorry!
Were you surprised?
Yeah, a little.
OK, yeah, whatever.
I'm bored.
Is that why you burst in here?
Are you OK?
I'm so bored.
So, you know...
Remember that hidden-camera show wasn't broadcast because of your reaction?
Yes, sir.
Let's practice being surprised.
We have a really bad feeling about this.
In what situation?
Let's start with a simple one. You sit down on a whoopee cushion.
Do you have a whoopee cushion?
Nope.
Then, how?
Fart for real. For real.
Sit down while farting.
If you don't do it soon, I'll kill you!
Yes!
Ah, I got it! It's coming!
Fart while sitting down!
Ah! That wasn't me!
Cut!
You farted too early, punk!
Your ass is mine, bastard!
I'm sorry! Ow!
OK, I got it!
Go for it, Chika!
Aw, dammit!
Yeah, you know it! You were too slow, bastard!
Ow! I'm sorry!
OK! I got it!
All right, leader! Show us what you got!
Yes! I got it! Perfect timing!
What was that? What about the reaction, bastard?
Ow! Sorry!
This isn't a farting contest!
Ah, goddammit!
Why are you incapable of being surprised? Try harder to make a major debut!
That's not what we want to do.
I'm tired of this.
I understand. I don't want to be angry anymore.
If your heart's not in it, then you should quit.
Suit yourself.
Huh? Is that...?
I can't ask any more of you.
Business will carry on without you.
Um... Boss?
Are you being serious?
Didn't you hear me?
If you quit, you're out of the Inugane Group, of course.
But instead, you'll be free.
Now, choose.
Understood! Boss, thank you for everything!
We'll be going now!
YOU'VE BEEN PRANKED!
-Of course. -I knew it.
Oh, he got us.
That night, the girls prayed...
that someday, this long, harsh life would be revealed as a prank.
