My name is Yuichi Taira.
People call me
Ichi!
Ichi!
Why do they call me Ichi (number one)?

Needless to say my grades are
Sports activities as well
Ichi!
And of course, there's my popularity!
In every area, I'm always on top!
I'm the number one
elite among all elites.
I'm the hero who everybody loves!
THE GOLDEN SHOES
That morning should have been
the same as usual.
I am so cool!
Good morning!
Good morning!
Have a nice day!
See you later!
Good morning!
Good morning!
You're Shonen Bat!
You're Shonen Bat!
The second street assault occurred
exactly in the same manner
as the assault on Tsukiko Sagi.
Based on the information
we have so far
this assault seems
to have been committed by
a sixth grade
elementary student
who wears gold inline skates
and a baseball cap.
I couldn't believe it when I heard it.
How could an elementary school
student become a violent criminal?
I see. That's why.
Oh, come on!
Why is everybody so ignorant?
How could I be Shonen Bat?
You know I'm
YUICHI TAIRA
For Student Council President
"A Bright Future for the School"
Everybody, thank you
for supporting me.
I will do my best to work hard
as Student Council President,
for all the students!
"Ushii is Here For You"
"Ushii is Here For You"
Shogo Ushiyama.
"Ushii is Here For You"
"Ushii is Here For You"
He transferred here from another
school at the end of the spring semester.
The only thing he's good at
is getting good grades.
A country bumpkin
from a low income family.
He's fat, sweaty
and sucks at sports.
I can't believe he's
even challenging me.
Is he the one who spread the rumor?
Of course, it must be this pig!
Good morning, Ichi!
Good morning, Usshi!
The student council
election is coming soon.
Good luck to both of us!
Yeah, of course!
May the best person win!
Until I find some proof,
I'll leave you alone.
But don't underestimate me,
you pig!
Gold Award
Gold Award
Oh, well. A hero would never be
defeated by this kind of a dirty trick.
I'll keep my head high.
Good morning!
You're the one!
You should be executed!
He must have done it.
- It's no wonder.
- He's gotta be the one.
This is yours, isn't it?
Kawazu said you dropped this.
I heard that he was attacked
while chasing you around.
However, he said that he didn't
see the suspect very well
because it happened
so unexpectedly.
How about you, Ms. Sagi?
You didn't see the attacker?
How sad.
I have to clean you up.
Ms. Sagi, I don't want
to offend you
but you've been
involved in both incidents.
Most likely, the suspect
would be someone you know.
Can you think of anybody?
How about you?
Did you see the attacker?
I know you were there.
Right, Maromi-chan!
Huh?!
Is he all right?
I meant, Mr. Kawazu's condition
He's in stable condition, Miss.
Here!
- I got it!
- Hey! Pass it here!
Completely ignored.
My mom was saying
Nasty talk!
Everybody is manipulated
by the media. How idiotic.
Thank you, Usshi!
No problem.
I was about to leave anyway.
Hey Usshi, do you want to
come to my place today?
Really?
Are you sure?
Why is fat-Usshi
stealing my position?
How could he do such a thing?
He's just a slow
stupid and obese country bumpkin
who's as fat as a cow!
Whatever!
I don't need you guys!
I have
Bullying?
It's not that!
I'm just being ignored.
And they talk behind my back.
And they give me dirty looks.
Yuichi
Harumi Chono.
Her official role is my private tutor
but I don't really need one.
She is, so to speak,
an oasis for my heart.
Does your mom know about this?
Thank you for your help.
It's my pleasure.
Please don't forget, Miss Harumi
we're having his
birthday party next Sunday.
Yes, I'll be here.
Well then, have a good session.
Does your teacher know about it?
Do you want me to tell her?
Don't worry about it.
Your concern for me
is more than enough.
I'll take care of this by myself.
Who would want that?
If an adult steps into
this kind of problem
things will get more complicated.
But, I can't just
leave things as they are.
The student council
election is coming soon.
I have to do something.
Ichi! Ichi!
Don't call me by that name
What's the matter, Ichi?
Did you want to talk to me?
You are so disgusting!
Ichi?
Didn't you hear me?
A weasel like you doesn't have
the right to call me by that name.
What do you mean by "a weasel"?
I know it's you.
Don't play dumb.
You put the anonymous
letter in my locker
and spread the rumor
that I'm Shonen Bat!
Why don't you admit it?!
You knew you couldn't
win the election
by competing on equal terms!
So you ruined my reputation!
So am I right?! Huh?!
Ichi!
Don't say that name!
Now, I want you all to
write your honest opinion!
All right, start writing now.
Open the image file?
Everyone! Must I say it again?
Turn the cell phones off during class!
Teacher!
People are bullying Yuichi Taira.
What?
Who?!
Who pulled this kind of dirty trick?
Teacher, Yuichi will be ostracized,
if we don't do anything about this.
I really hate him!
Poor Ichi!
You think Tsukiko Sagi is
naturally out of tune like that?
I have no idea what young
people these days are thinking.
I'm one of those young people, too.
Yup. Including you.
Did you find out anything about that
homeless woman's whereabouts?
We're still looking, but she never had a
permanent address to begin with.
He still hasn't been arrested, has he?
Golden Bat!
You mean Shonen Bat.
Oh, yeah.
Shonen Bat.
I heard that his bat is golden.
So anyway!
The police came to my place, too.
It felt like I was in a cop show.
So what did they ask you?
Well, they showed me this
sketch of the suspect and
What?
He was an elementary school kid?
Really?
So then, he does have
a metal baseball bat?
But did you hear this?
He grins right before he attacks.
That's so scary!
I heard that his shoes
and bat are both gold.
What if his eyeballs are also gold?
Shonen Bat
What if his eyeballs are also gold?
Shonen Bat
Shonen Bat
It's scary.
Shonen Bat
That's not funny.
Shonen Bat
Everything is that pig's fault!
I was being bullied discreetly
but now it's become official.
Mr. Taira
Conference Room
Conference Room
Well, just one last question.
Conference Room
Have you ever met a person
named Tsukiko Sagi?
She's the designer who
was attacked first, right?
Of course, I don't know
her personally at all.
Thank you for your cooperation!
I'm sorry.
It's not that you're a suspect.
This is simply our job.
Then arrest the real suspect, quickly!
Because of this incident,
Yuichi is now being bullied in school!
Other kids are saying
that he's the assailant!
But I felt really relieved.
The police have finally
shown that I'm not a suspect.
That's it!
I should use this chance!
Turning crisis into chance!
That's so much like me!
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday Ichi!
Happy birthday Ichi!
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Ichi, happy birthday!
Happy birthday, Yuichi!
I'm sorry Ichi.
Forgive my suspicion.
We were all being
tricked by Ushiyama.
We were all so stupid to
believe the word of that pig!
Please be the same Ichi,
now and forever!
Thank you.
Everyone, thank you!
The police investigation
worked against me.
I will do my best to work hard
as Student Council President,
for all the students!
Take your craft assignment home.
Wow! Awesome!
Your robot looks so cool, Ichi!
Golden (bat) Award
Golden (bat) Award
Ichi, you're so great!
Golden (bat) Award
Yeah! You can do anything!
I'm sure you'll be the next
Student President!
That's right!
Yes! Ichi's the one!
Why?
Why is this happening to me?
It has nothing to do with me.
An incident like a street assault
has nothing to do with my life.
Ichi!
Ichi.
I'm not angry about
what happened last time.
Why is this pig carrying a palm tree?!
I hope the real assailant
will be arrested soon
so that people would forget about it.
I understand very well how you feel.
I was also bullied
at my previous school.
Don't lump us together!
That's the reason I transferred.
The School Counselor
told me to be positive
and take on many
challenges at my new school.
I wish he would get attacked.
That's why I challenged
myself to run in this election.
Why don't you get beaten
by Shonen Bat?
Why don't you get beaten!
Then I can!
Yuichi, you did a terrific job.
Please share your feelings with us.
I just tried to do the right thing.
However, I feel very sad about
what happened to Ushiyama.
What a true hero!
Yuichi Taira may have
caught Shonen Bat
but he's even more
concerned about his friend.
Ichi! Ichi!
Lucky!
Wait!
I'll get you!
No matter what!
I'll get you!
Wait!
Wait!
Wait!!
This evening, an elementary school
boy was attacked
on a street in Musashino City, Tokyo.
The boy was seriously injured.
The police department
is investigating the incident
in relation to the other
attacks in the same area.
Investigators believe it may be
the work of the same attacker.

That's just your imagination.
Maromi, you must
remember it too, when I
You're thinking too much.
That was a long time ago.
How could he look exactly
the as same as before?
There's no way.
It's too strange.
You're also acting a little bit strange.
Forget about things that
happened a long time ago.
Everything is Shonen Bat's fault!
Right?
Yes
Let's go.
Hey, wait a second.
Where are we going?
Where do you think?
Ichi! Go for it!
Ichi, you're awesome!
Home-run!!
Yeah, Ichi
I'm so cool.
What happened to
going to school, Yuichi!?
Isn't today the day of the
Student Council Election?
You'll be late.
No!
I'm not going!
Can you hear me?
Yuichi!
Yuichi!
I was right next to Ushiyama
when he was attacked.
Everybody knows that I hated him.
The suspect!!
I'll get blamed
if I go to school today!
Open the door! Yuichi!
Yuichi, it's time to go to school!
Look!
It's the Shonen Bat!
Oh, yeah.
You are a coward!
You are the lowest!
Murderer!
Stop it!
Stop it!
No, it's not true!
I knew that you did it!
No, it's not me!
I'm not Shonen Bat!!
Everybody!
It's Shonen Bat!
The real Shonen Bat!
It's Shonen Bat!
Ichi!
Ichi!
To begin with
a convolvulus who
lives in an ivory tower
dreams every night
of being a kaleidoscope.
The bloodsucker sucked the swallowtail.
She is torn off,
ripped up and broken.
Two lips are floating around
in the dark of night.
The golden shoes will answer your call.
You see a ferry boat far on the equinox.
Well
