In a universe somewhere
...is a galaxy somewhere...
Within which somewhere is a planet:
Earthdash.
There, when you look up at the sky,
you see a city called Mooneyes on the face of the moon.
Brighter than the sun during the day,
and shining more beautifully than the stars at night,
it is a symbol of hopes and dreams to the people.
They all dream of someday living on the moon...
DESTROY
deai wa mina ikusen no hidou
All encounters come from a million injustices.
sora hatenai shinjitsu matte fuan to
It's not easy waiting for a truth that's as limitless as the sky.
miren wo andeku uchi mada eranakute
Yet never getting it; you just accumulate the regrets.
hontou no kotae sagashite iru
We're searching for the true answer
bakuhatsu kara
because we will explode!
kure no hi no mukou ni mieru hikari no kiseki ga
The miraculous lights you can see through the dusk,
ochiru ame ni kakenukete kibou oe no kiseki wo sugu undeku
give rise to the miracle of running through the rain chasing after hope.
kanashimi wa nagareru toki wo tometakutemo
Though sorrow wants to stop the flow of time...
omoi ya sakebi zutto owaranakutemo
Though your feelings and your cries never seem to end...
sore demo kokoro ni utsushitsuzukete bokura wa ikiteku
We'll still live on, reflecting on it in our hearts,
zetsubou wa sou kitto kurikaeshite yuku no ni
even though this will just repeat the cycle of despair.
nagareru kaze ga tsumetakutemo
Though the winds that blow are cold...
ikitsuku basho ga mienakutemo
Though we can't see where we'll end up...
boku wa ima mae wo muki yume no iriguchi de itsuka wa
For now, I'm pressing on. Someday, at the entrance to my dream,
genkai wo koete yuku
we'll surpass all limits.
Is something wrong, Princess?
I feel some sort of vital spirit stirring there.
That is Rollingtown, the next destination on your tour, is it not?
It seems they're amidst a building boom, so it must be under construction at the moment.
Hey!
What?!
Where's he aiming from?
How should I know?
This happened because you're a stupid-head!
Shit!
Huh? He's gone!
Shut up! What's done is done!
Just figure out where he is A.S.A.P!
You're being too loud for me to hear!
There!
Hell yeah, let's go!
You go get killed and good riddance!
I've got you now!
Hey, where is he?
I don't know!
I just heard a sound, that's all.
I'm gonna eat you, you little—
What a coincidence!
I was just thinking of how I was in the mood to eat a stupid-head!
To your right!
What is?
A ball, a ball!
What? From where?
I'm telling you, your right, your right!
Which one is my right?
This hand!
Damn!
He really is a rock head.
Nice of him to be the bait and all...
From this position I can see everything with ease.
He's there!
You're mine!
Th-That's...
Does he plan to use as many balls as he needs...
...to take us both on?!
It hurts...
But it's amazing!
He's so good he can even trample me!
Amazing! Amazing!
It's amazing!
God dammit!
I h-hate this!
I hate that he beat me, but
welling up from deep within me...
...is such bliss...
I like it!
Whoa, no kidding around!
They're both trashed to bits.
Now this is worth fixing!
All right! You two go and eat dinner or something for now. Go, go!
We have all that food, so go eat! Eat!
There's no way I'm gonna let that bastard slide!
A bastard, you say... Well that doesn't narrow down the list of suspects...
Not just anyone can throw the balls like he threw them.
I'm gonna track him down!
And you?
I don't know.
Pathetic.
You got so close, and still didn't get a glimpse of a face or two!
As if you got close at all.
Sela?
I'm going home.
Take care of the repairs for me.
Thanks for the business!
It'll take a little while.
I wonder if that girl's okay.
"Girl"? What girl?
Now, don't get all cranky just because you lost, Legend.
I didn't lose!
Look! Word has spread already!
"Dunk Mask Reappears!"
"The end of a legend and the beginning of something new?"
"L-L-Leg-Legen..."
"Legend"!
"Dunk Mask, the Debt King, took on the Platinum Hurricane Sela D. Miranda in a 1-on-1 match and lost."
"F-Fur-Furth..."
"Furthermore, he was cast deep into adversity when a mysterious long shooter...
...appeared and destroyed his beloved mech."
Beloved? Adversity?
"Bigfoot City Basketball is currently in the throes of a multipartite power struggle.
We could well describe it as an era where opportunity awaits the truly talented, no matter who they are."
"Ultimate Bystander, signing off."
That girl earlier—
She's called the Platinum Hurricane! That's so cool.
What a load of bull.
"Debt King"? What's with that?! "Debt King"?!
Well, you can't blame them.
It's true, after all.
What?!
But really, these City Basketball columns sure get updated fast.
I don't like it!
There's someone sneaking around spying on me.
What are you gonna do, Dan?
Get even!
I'm gonna make 'em return the debt a hundredfold!
No— 5.3 billionfold!
That man... He might be...
Why hello there, my lonely-looking little lady!
A lady like you needs someone to comfort her, and I guess that someone is me.
Are you any good?
Oh, enough to make a quiet little lady cry out, gasp, and burst into tears five times over!
Waste of my time.
You all could bundle your genes in a nice variety pack and I'd still pass.
Honestly.
Men are like wet paper bags, every last one of 'em.
Billy! Are you okay?!
Hold on!
It hurts!
Don't die!
I guess if boys will be boys, then girls will be girls.
I won't let anyone walk over me and get away with it.
But... What I want is...
Are you all right?
A beautiful woman with a seductive look— that's just asking for trouble.
Iceman?
I'm surprised you know of me.
One year ago, when Dunk Mask was running wild in Rolling Arena,
you blocked him...
Oh, that was a painful day.
By that point it wasn't even a real match anymore.
You should go home.
Won't be long before the moonlight fades.
Moon moon.
This is the moonside-originated Moonbeam Broadcast System, MBS.
This ends tonight's broadcast.
This is the Moonbeam Broadcast System, MBS.
So, shall I escort you?
If something is troubling you, I'd be glad to offer my counseling services on the way.
I suppose so. I might have to ask you all sorts of questions.
I can't stop wondering who and where the man is...
...who made me feel this way!
Do you play streetball?
That isn't basketball, sadly.
It seems you may have mistaken me for someone else.
I am a Bigfoot Basketball player, Iceman Hottie.
I only fight when I play Bigfoot Basketball.
Hey, Iceman.
Would you consider giving me your genes?
Once would be enough.
You're an interesting young woman.
I'm Sela. Sela Miranda.
Good night, Sela.
He actually made me blush.
Incredible...
This statue was erected to memorialize the Dunk Mask incident,
which occurred last year when this was still a Bigfoot Basketball arena.
It was Dunk Mask who destroyed the match and also destroyed the arena.
The sight had such a profound impact on our youth, that it lead them to them to cherish their own hopes and dreams...
...and became an awe-inspiring legend that is still passed down today!
Destroyed, you say?! How barbaric!
Truly, the things which these vulgar savages contrive are—
Jiiya, endeavors such as these by the common people
are what support the lifestyle which we enjoy at the royal palace.
Do not be rude.
Yes, Princess.
But you know?
Isn't it a bit weird to say it's "still passed down today" when it's only been a year?
If it makes us money, I don't care.
Step on up, we got your Dunk Mask shirts and Dunk Mask towels right here!
Everyone, be careful!
Destroy!
Wh-What is this, huh?
Ganz, you think maybe this is...
...a declaration of war?
What is this? Anti-Establishment terrorism?!
Be calm, everyone.
The aura of anger has already vanished.
Destroy!
Coco!
You have to get out of here, Coco!
Destroy is targeting you!
If you don't make a run for it soon, you'll die!
C'mon, come with your brother now and let's get out of here!
Coco! Coco!
I'm begging you, please, run!
If you're embarrased to be with me, then you can run in the opposite direction, but just do it!
I'll run north, and you run south! Okay?!
But just get out of here!
Coco!
So this is how you ended up, Coco!
What are you wailing about? Wake up!
Good grief, just take a better look at it!
It's your stupid head.
Probably the work of the same ones who attacked you guys yesterday, Dan.
What?!
Those too.
Oh, this is amazing!
I've never seen such a mountain of trashed mechs before.
Excellent job in getting them so totaled, guys!
You all had better take some time to recuperate too.
Yes, sir.
Oh yeah, there's this too.
What the hell?!
Destroy, that bastard!
Excuse me, I have a Bigfoot that needs some repairs—
What, another one?!
I fix them and I fix them and yet there's still more!
Dan! Do something about this!
What do you mean, "do something"?
Get rid of that Destroy guy.
No need to strain yourself asking me.
I'm gonna get even with him myself.
Then hurry up about it!
That's what I'm figuring out now!
For starters, there's no way to know what direction he'll be attacking from!
So I...
In that case figure it out faster!
I'm trying!
That's right! He's a pea-brain so it takes time!
Yeah!
While you're lolling around here,
people who don't operate Bigfoots might start getting hurt too.
Brother!
Coco...
I'm willing to join forces to get rid of him.
Oh, it's the Platitude Hotpad.
Platinum Hurricane!
It might be someone you know.
I don't know anyone that vicious.
We can't afford to wait until Dan thinks of something.
We just have to get rid of him.
But it's hard to do that when you don't know when or from what direction he'll attack.
And even if you do get close, you'd get taken out instantly...
It'd be great if we could get behind him, huh?
Hey kid. This is your pet, right?
Spanky, what are you eating?
I'm ashamed.
Out of everyone I know, you're the most vicious.
That's it!
What is?
We just have to lure him to us!
How?
Fire safety!
Dunk Mask says only you can prevent fires!
What's fire safety?
How should I know?
It's not a food, that's for sure!
Dunk Mask is fire safety!
The instant warning system, Dunk Mask!
He dunks in a mask and is careful with matches!
Destroy!
Destroy, destroy, destroy!
Destroy!
Fire safety!
Dunk Mask is here!
What?!
Destroy!
This is...
Fire safety!
I thought it was you, Iceman Hottie.
I'm gonna catch you, Destroy!
I thought you said you didn't play streetball.
This isn't basketball.
It's Destroy!
What?!
You hog the ball too much!
I see.
He is someone I know.
Perfect.
I owe you a year-old debt,
and I'm gonna pay it back ten billionfold!
But I think just one ball is enough.
Let's go.
Three...
Two...
One...
Zero!
Why you!
You aren't getting away!
My head!
Look, it's empty inside, what did I tell you?
Dammit, those two...
The night air is bad for your health, Princess.
Mixed with the wind is the same aura that I felt then...
No... One more wild.
That is most likely the effect of the vulgar inhabitants overflowing this city—
Princess! Princess! That is dangerous!
Please stop! Princess!
What is that?
A ball? A basket?
He hasn't trained.
Someone like that wasted our match and gets treated like a legend?!
What bullshit! I won't allow it!
I'll take his streetball and destroy it!
Gotcha!
So you bear a grudge against Dan, then?
I merely intend to crush all streetball players.
Of course that includes you, young lady!
Sounds promising.
Try it then if you can.
I'll turn the tables and grind you in my hand.
And when dawn breaks, I'll have your genes!
What the hell are you talking about?!
Don't think you can ignore me!
Man, it's loud out here.
What's exploding anyway?
Hey, what's the deal?
It's no use. I really drank too much.
That way!
Good, good, Later we'll put this on the Net and make a hefty mint.
But I wonder, why don't those three punch or kick or anything?
If it's a free-for-all beatdown, wouldn't that way be faster?
Sometimes you come up with some radical ideas!
But it's because those three are basketball players.
It's their style to do it that way.
I guess that could work out... Whoa!
Destiny... There's destiny in the wind.
Destroy, destroy, destroy!
Outta the way, Purapura!
I told you it's Platinum!
Just a sec! Don't get too full of yourself!
You bastard!
Destroy!
Crap!
Dan! It's the cops! Time to split!
Hurry!
...Des...troy...
It's over.
Those people were amazing!
Princess! Hurry and come down, please!
Good grief. Every single time, he comes back the worse for wear.
Good, good.
This baby is gonna get better and better.
Dunk Mask's Dangan Deliveries— Is this the place?
Yes, thanks for—
Huge—!
So that boy is Dunk Mask?
Leave all the rest to me.
I'm going to be your producer.
Yes, me, Haruka Gracia, a woman from the moon.
Count your blessings.
H-Hey, Dan.
Y-Yeah... There's no doubt.
Those are real.
It's a Lunar bust!
That ain't rock nani ga machigatteta to shitemo
That ain't rock, no matter what part of it was wrong.

Mou junbi okay tamerawanai de
You're already ready, okay? So, don't hesitate.
What is a Lunar bust anyway?!
Means you were beat at your own game and have nothing to stand on now.
She wants to book matches for Dan and the others?!
They're not a bunch that will listen to her because of her bust!
Next time, Three-way Free Fight.
NEXT TIME
THREE-WAY
FREE FIGHT
Sounds cutthroat.
