Birdy the Mighty: Decode (2008) s01e03 Episode Script
Episode 3
1 Excuse me, there's a strange man on the bus It smells It smells! Will the sky one day grow tired of looking down and lose its blue color? There's just one blue sky over this world rife with countless emotions The sound of the battle raging somewhere And the laughter right nearby You can never hear it all Because you have only one story Only this sky sees all at once the sorrow and smiles That simultaneously fall in different places around this wide world Will the sky one day grow tired of looking down and lose its blue color? How can it stay unchanging after watching innumerable dramas? Even now everyone heads to his own story without knowing a thing There's just one blue sky over this world rife with countless emotions Wordlessly marking out time longer than anyone's What the hell? Hey, what can I say? I'm eating for two.
Yeah, right! This is your body, isn't it?! You're just being a glutton! Allow me to explain, Tsutomu.
Birdy must ingest large amounts of Earth's food in order to intake the amount of energy she requires.
To put it in precise energy units That's not what I'm talking about! Then what's the problem? I'm sick of this! You guys have totally made a mess of my life! How so? You ignore my plans, you talk to me inside my head while we're in public At this rate, I'm just some weirdo! We apologize, Tsutomu.
We do give your lifestyle first priority.
Yeah! Then let me stay in my own body from now on.
Now wait a second! Obviously I can't do that! I have a mission to capture the criminals! That's got nothing to do with me.
This is your fault for destroying my body.
I have a right to live my own life, don't I? You do have a point, certainly.
- Of course.
- Tuto! It's not ethically permissible to get you mixed up in our investigation.
Hey! That's my Tuto! You understand stuff! Okay! Then it's decided.
What is? However, Tsutomu, I want you to understand that if we don't capture the criminals quickly, Earth will be in danger as well.
But still, I won't let you use this body without my permission.
You'd better promise me! Fine! Birdy, you promised not to change forms without permission.
It's because of what you said! What are we supposed to do now?! Because of that promise, we won't be able to investigate properly! You have to think more seriously about coexisting with him, Birdy.
Why should I? I think you felt the decline in your abilities during the fight with Bacillus.
You weren't imagining it.
It was because you aren't coexisting well with the boy inside of you.
At this rate, the worst-case scenario is I know that! If mental fusion happens and I disappear, Tsutomu can have my body.
Birdy I'm the one who killed him, after all Why would you say something so self-tormenting? If you don't think more progressively, nothing will be solved.
Enough lecturing! I'm saying you and Tsutomu need a trusting relationship to Enough! Birdy If you hate me so much, just become Tsutomu's Buddy instead! Birdy No, I'm Tsutomu! Birdy, I believe that your and Tsutomu's hearts can connect.
And I'd like to do whatever I can to help.
Now, eat up! Good health starts with breakfast! Don't mind if I do! Yum! Eating properly is important for your health.
I'll do my best to help you lead a comfortable life.
Here's your lunch! It's huge! Good for you, Tsutomu.
What a wonderful, handy partner you have.
Huh? You seem like you're in a bad mood.
Nope.
I thought you weren't supposed to talk to me in public? Did you say something? Uh, no! Huh? What is it? Nakasugi! Hayamiya! Is it okay for you to ride the bus to school? Yep! I'm feeling pretty healthy.
Are you okay, Nakasugi? I'm sorry! You're Senkawa, right? Grab onto one of the handles.
It's dangerous otherwise.
Okay.
Honestly, you're such a little rich girl.
Your heart rate's gone up.
You get a hormone rush or something? No I did not get a hormone rush! What the hell? Sorry, just talking to myself Senkawa is interesting, isn't he? I guess.
Miss Sayaka's health is so much better I'm very glad of it.
Miracles really do exist in this world Will you be heading to work now? Yes.
Have the car brought around.
Thank goodness Nakasugi's looking so well, huh? I was worried when I heard about the accident They say it was a pretty bad one, too.
Yeah, their car was totaled, right? Lady Luck must be on her side.
Now that's one serious lunchbox.
Did you make this yourself? O-Of course I did! I live alone.
See, um, I've just been so hungry lately.
I'm a growing boy, you know.
It's great to be at the old alma mater, eh Mr.
Sumida? Ah, the dream-filled days of my youth I was so enthusiastic about all the journalism club's activities! Fine, Muroto, I'll buy some, all right? Thank you for your business as always.
Listen, Muroto, if you're going to write, write something that isn't trash.
This stuff makes more money than real reportage.
If it were really selling, you wouldn't be coming to me! The economy's bad these days Sheesh, Kaori's from the same club, and she's doing good work! Huh? What is it? Stand back! Can we get in through this door? Ah, if you're an employee, please take the back entrance.
Hey! Don't you go in there! Aw, man he's coming.
"He"? Here he is.
The Maharaja graces us with his presence! Huh? Satyajit Shyamalan? Yep.
You just joined the company, Ms.
Sanada, so I guess you didn't know.
He's a vital partner of ours.
Partner? Mr.
Moriyama, this is overkill.
We're merely expressing a small token of our thanks for all you've done.
I don't really like being greeted this way.
You can just treat me normally.
You're the one in charge of interviewing him on the show today, right? That's right.
Well, be sure not to offend him.
I hear he got a producer fired recently.
Huh "Irma's" "Irma's" Geega's disappeared.
Geega's disappeared.
The way I hear it, Empire TV's referring to him as fired.
I see "Irma's" I see "Irma's" I do know what apartment Geega lived in, anyway, but I do know what apartment Geega lived in, anyway, but What do you want to do? We don't have much information.
I'd like to hear it.
She doesn't do much of Shion's work these days We know, we know, we'll make you some money with Shion as soon as this job is over.
Really? The truth is, it looks like Birdy actually likes this work! And after we finish this case, we can get time off.
Then once this investigation is over, I can put Shion on TV, right? That's right, I suppose we won't have to limit her exposure anymore.
Then let's put a CD out, too, and sell her like crazy! We can make oodles of money! What fun! Shion and I will do our best! It smells Hey, you! What are you doing there? Hey! Let me go! Let me out! There's no sign that Geega's returned to the apartment.
There are various signs of Bacillus's presence Hmm? Are you listening, Birdy? I'm listening! I'm currently in the bath, so I'm cutting off communications now! Bir You sure that was okay? It's none of your business.
What is this "Ryunka" that the Geega guy is supposed to have? Hazardous material.
Hazardous how? Don't tell me you don't know what it is?! It doesn't matter! If I catch Geega and Bacillus That's so sloppy.
What am I supposed to do about it?! Captain Megius didn't tell me! How about you give the Ryunka back? Maybe they've lost the Ryunka? Did you find the Ryunka, Bacillus? Don't call me that! I'm Giga! Giga! All right, Mr.
Giga.
So, did you come here just to introduce yourself? Don't make fun of me.
I'm here because hmm why am I here? What do you plan to do now? I'll eat that Altan investigator.
Oh ho.
Plus, if I do that, I'll know where the Ryunka is too! You amaze me.
Want me to bring the Ryunka here when I find it? Are you sure about that? Don't you need to give it to Shyamalan? I hate Shyamalan! I'll take you over that bastard any day.
I'm grateful, but I'm embarrassed to eat this in front of everybody.
Cute! How nice for you, Tsutomu.
Look, did something happen between you and Tuto? Nope.
Senkawa? So here you are! Were you looking for me? Yep.
Hayamiya! I found Senkawa! Nakasugi, you're amazing! Oh, Tsutomu! I've been looking for you! Now, you mustn't forget your gym clothes! Huh? You have P.
E.
Next period, right? I'm so glad I made it in time! Here you go.
Birdy, are you keeping your promise to Tsutomu? No need to worry.
I'm glad for that! Okay, do your best! Tra la la la la! H-Hey! Senkawa, I'll support you.
Don't worry about what other people think.
You sure you're not misinterpreting something here? You can come to me with your problems if you want.
We're childhood friends, after all.
- Let's go, Nakasugi! - Huh? Hey! Senkawa.
Huh? He seemed interesting.
Introduce us next time, okay? See you later.
H-Hey, wait a second! Oh, a text.
Kitamura? Oh, crap, it's our turn to set up for gym class today.
Nakasugi, I'm going to go on ahead! Okay.
Oh, man Bacillus.
You're the Altan's Marker, right? So she's definitely here.
Dammit, how long does it take Senkawa to eat his lunch? It smells.
It smells! Huh, so the Altan's over there, eh? Oh, so he's your big sister's friend? Yeah.
My sister's a real weirdo, so a lot of her friends are strange, too.
It's a problem.
But you're lucky to have a sibling.
I'm an only child, so Oh, no, look at the time! Senkawa, it's P.
E.
Next period.
Don't you have to change clothes? Oh, I guess so.
What about you? I just observe.
Oh, sorry.
I forgot, you're not well It's okay.
It's just the truth.
It'd be nice if I could join you guys in P.
E.
Someday Yeah.
We have to get going.
Shall we? Yeah.
I'll eat you! Nakasugi! What's happening?! Huh? I got the wrong one? That guy Geega? Yo, Altan.
You can't fool my nose.
If you don't want me to eat this Earthling, then let me eat you! C'mon, get over here so I can eat you! I guess we can't switch bodies in front of her.
Obviously! Then we'll do this with your body.
Huh? Don't you want to save her? Fine.
Here we go! Ow! I'll eat you! This is bad! She's heavy! Sheesh, Tsutomu, you have no muscles! Do a little weight-lifting! Mind your own business.
It looks like she's okay.
She's cute! But this is no time for you to have a hormone rush.
Like I would even do that! Okay, then, I'm going to change bodies.
If I don't capture Geega, everyone's in danger.
Fine! That must be Bacillus.
He's eaten Geega.
Then he's the one who? Exactly.
Ouch Ouch! He's getting away! Ugh, gross.
I can't deal with that kind of thing.
What are you talking about?! He'll get away again if you don't hurry! I wonder where Senkawa is? He went off by himself again and Hey, has anyone seen Nakasugi? Here? Probably.
I don't think there's anyplace else he could hole up.
Looks like you're right.
This is perfect; nobody will see us here.
Where did he go? Got you! If I can't eat you, then just die! This thing is useful.
This is not good! I'll eat you.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
My body won't detach like it's supposed to.
Tuto! You look awful.
Bacillus gained more powers eating Geega.
This won't be like last time.
Then what do we do? Let me eat you! Capturing Bacillus is a difficult proposition.
So a blaster can't eliminate him, then? Let me eat you! Tuto! Tuto! Tuto! Tuto? Tuto, hang on! Birdy, get Bacillus.
I'm gonna eat Let me eat someone! Birdy.
Bacillus's memories have all clouded.
Even if you capture him, you probably can't get information about the Ryunka out of him.
Use this.
An Element Destructor? As your Marker, I grant you permission to eliminate Bacillus.
If he stays on Earth, there will be more casualties.
Now go on, get Bacillus.
I'll end this fast.
Let me eat! Let me eat A monster like you will get no food from me! What was that? An explosion? In the pool?! So you killed him? Good choice, Birdy Cephon.
I won't let you get in my way, though.
You're a good Buddy, Birdy.
Let's go back to our ship.
If we do that I'm sorry to say this body is broken past the point of repair.
If you leave, I'll be all alone again! I wish I could have stayed with you longer.
This is goodbye Birdy Tuto Right now I can tell what kind of connection Birdy and Tuto the robot had.
The sadness of losing a partner that can never be replaced a Buddy Pleased to meet you, Birdy Cephon.
I am Tuto.
Starting today, I will be your Marker.
Your Buddy.
"Buddy"? Your partner.
From now on, I'll always be with you.
Then I'll be your Buddy, huh Tuto? Let's go! Have a good time! A peaceful, happy cheek-to-cheek time for everybody Put your hands, let's become one now Come on, make some noise, clap your hands, slap slap! Lift your hands, clap your hands, slap slap! Everyone has their worries Given they're neverending, what'll you do from here on out? Live out the tight days without getting upset about it Am I right, or am I right? Everybody in the audience, lift your hands Don't cry anymore; come on, lift your head And show us your smile, okay? Right now we're gonna forget all about the hard, painful, and sad stuff C'mon baby, c'mon baby, everybody yeah yeah Let's go! Have a new time!

Get this: Next episode we're going to whiz off to Birdy's planet in a spaceship! It has a bunch of aliens that look like bugs and doggies and stuff! Birdy's friends are interesting, too, yessiree! But there are some creepy people, too So Tsutomu is really shocked, yessiree! How cute! But then Birdy gets in trouble again!
Yeah, right! This is your body, isn't it?! You're just being a glutton! Allow me to explain, Tsutomu.
Birdy must ingest large amounts of Earth's food in order to intake the amount of energy she requires.
