THE KUROYURI PARTY
[indistinct chatter]
- [man gasps]
- [crowd cheering]
[man] Good evening, my friends!
Members of the electorate!
[crowd cheering]
[woman] So you failed again?
[man] My apologies.
Their vigilance towards us
is off the charts.
I'm not surprised.
But I do have a backup plan in place.
[unsettling music playing]
[opening theme playing]
MISSION: YOZAKURA FAMILY
PLAN 8
THE KUROYURI PARTY
- [pleasant music playing]
- [Mutsumi humming]
[Taiyo] Mutsumi asked me
to help her with an errand.
But where are we going
with all this stuff?
[children giggling]
[man laughs]
[laughing, talking indistinctly]
[Mutsumi] Oh, there you are!
It's been a long time, Lady Mutsumi.
- I'm counting on you today, Sui!
- [Taiyo gasping]
- You're looking as moronic as ever.
- Eh
You know him?
We've rubbed shoulders as colleagues.
It's an honor.
That said, I should let you know
that I'm still mad
about the incident with Nanao and Taiyo.
[Sui] Feel free.
I was only doing my mission.
Anyway, let's get going.
The Hinagiku leader is waiting.
[Taiyo] Oh
Leader?
CABINET OFFICE BUILDING
[Mutsumi] Taiyo! What are you doing?
Come on!
- [shop bell rings]
- [Taiyo] Eh? Oh!
HINAGIKU
[door opens, closes]
[Taiyo] A café?
[barista] Welcome.
Three Hinagiku Ultra Super Totally Deluxe
Gigantic Crazy Special
Monster Extreme Caffè Lattes, please.
[Taiyo] Did a grade schooler
come up with that name?!
Very good, sir.
[Taiyo] It actually exists?!
- [barista] Enjoy your drinks.
- [coffee machine dings]
Huh?
- Whoa!
- [upbeat music playing]
300 meters till we reach the lowest level.
We're an intelligence unit
supporting the government
literally behind the scenes.
[Sui] Welcome to Hinagiku.
We have a little time
before we reach the chief's office.
Drink your latte before it gets cold.
Thanks!
The Hinagiku-let's-skip-the-rest
Extreme Caffè Latte?
And you've got some nerve,
holding Mutsumi like that.
It's dangerous, so I must.
You need to look ahead yourself
or you'll be killed.
- What?
- [whoosh]
[Sui] These are traps
for both security and training.
Let your guard down and you'll be
ground beef before we reach the bottom.
I only came because I was asked! [screams]
[Sui] That's the entrance
to the chief's office.
[Taiyo] Whoa.
[sneezes]
[Sui] Hey, if you don't move out
of the way now, you'll get crushed.
Nice of you to come
Mr. and Mrs. Yozakura!
[gravel crunching]
Uh?
Can a weakling like you
really keep Mutsumi safe?
[gasps]
[chomps loudly]
Yum!
I can taste
your love and kindness, Mutsumi!
The tea you brought back from
your overseas mission smells divine!
Thanks so much for coming, Mutsumi.
Now I feel motivated for my next mission!
I should be thanking you!
This is such a nice breather for me.
See, Rin's a former classmate
of Big Bro Kyoichiro's,
and she throws tea parties like this
- from time to time.
- [moaning]
[chuckles]
[Taiyo] So the errand
was a tea party at Hinagiku?
And her bag was just full of sweets?
Don't say that
sister-obsessed dirtbag's name around me.
It'll ruin the taste of my cake!
[Mutsumi] She and Big Bro
are like oil and water.
[chuckles lightly]
Because I think anyone
who would shackle this adorable girl
ought to be drawn and quartered!
In this industry full of psychos,
she's like an oasis for my dried-up soul!
Though they are alike
in this particular way!
[Rin] That's why I wanted you
to marry a guy
capable of protecting you
from that pervert.
But this isn't gonna cut it.
[Taiyo] This proximity! I can't take it!
[Rin] I heard about you from Sui,
you know.
- He called you a scumbag turd.
- [Taiyo gasps]
No one speaks in such
a vulgar manner but you, Chief.
All I said was that as a spy,
he's lower than low, excrement.
[Taiyo] That's basically the same thing!
That's not true, Rin. Taiyo's soul
is just as strong as Big Bro's.
Well, if you say so,
Mutsumi, it must be so.
[Rin] That said, have you spoken to him
about [breath shakes]
[Taiyo and Mutsumi gasp]
[Kyoichiro] The only ones capable
of blocking our GPS is Hinagiku.
All right, hand over Mutsumi. Or else
- [continues speaking inaudibly]
- [comedic beeping]
Oh, please!
[Rin] So, you decided
to show your face, pervert.
We're in the middle of a tea party.
Get the hell out of here.
[Kyoichiro] Shut up.
Just being in the presence of a vulgar
female gorilla will corrupt Mutsumi.
Male jealousy is so unseemly, isn't it?
[Rin] Rin Punch!
You really think you can slash me
with those shoddy wires?
How should I butcher and package
that body you're so proud of?
[man over PA] Emergency code
Cherry Blossom Snow!
Everyone in the building,
please evacuate immediately! Repeat
Hey, this is bad, isn't it?
Come on, why does this always happen?
This always happens?
I'll stop them.
You two head for the emergency exit.
Sui! That's crazy!
It should be me
Get lost.
You're in the way, Sui.
[grunts]
- Die
- Die
[Kyoichiro] Mutsumi?
[Rin] Move
[grunts]
Taiyo!
[yelps]
[Mutsumi] You two
If either of you cause
any more trouble for everyone
I'll never speak to you again.
[both gasp]
[body thuds]
Sorry! Please forgive me, Mutsumi!
[crying]
Really!
[Rin] Hey, but you know what?
He's tougher than he looks.
Right? Didn't I say so?
He's my husband, after all.
[Rin] I see. This one could actually
[Rin] Taiyo, I need to speak with you.
Go undercover to investigate a politician?
[Rin] The Dancing Politician,
Yoshimasa Kuroyuri.
[Kuroyuri] Free education.
Pension normalization.
Reduction of consumer tax.
The one who pulled off
the Kuroyuri Revolution,
the hero of Japan!
That's yours truly,
the leader of the Kuroyuri Party
Yoshimasa Kuroyuri!
We are
[crowd chanting] Kuroyuri! Kuroyuri
[Rin] His appearance belies the fact
that he's the politician
with the most momentum right now.
But there's a lot of bloodshed
behind all his achievements.
Fixtures in the political spy rankings,
the triplet spies, Red, Blue, Yellow.
With them as his right-hand men,
he's used bribery, assassination,
every method in the book
to work his way up.
And now he's about to make a major move
ahead of the next general election.
Until now, he's skillfully
deflected any suspicion.
But we confiscated this miniature bomb
in an unrelated case the other day.
It may only have a range of a few meters,
but since it leaves no trace behind,
it's a must-have for assassins overseas.
There are already
several of these at large,
but apparently not even the smuggler
we arrested has seen his customer's face.
But we do have one clue.
What he does remember is the sparkly,
fluffy clothing he glimpsed on-screen
and the heart-shaped sunglasses
his client was wearing.
[Kuroyuri] Bomb, please.
[Taiyo] He's totally on-screen!
But this isn't enough for us
to get a warrant for a politician.
Before there are any casualties,
we've got to gain surefire intel
on their bombing plans.
And you want me to take on that mission?
But why?
[Rin] He's from this country.
He's aware of Hinagiku's existence,
and he's got his guard up against us.
Meaning someone like you, an outsider,
would be hard for him to detect.
And so
[Rin] I'm counting on you!
What?
Huh?
You look really great in that, Taiyo!
So cute!
Yeah, it suits you. Wow. Wow.
Hey! You're not even looking!
Wait, why do I have to dress as a woman?
[Rin] See, the Kuroyuri Party
just posted this help-wanted ad.
NOW HIRING
FEMALE, BLACK HAIR, LONG EYELASHES
[Taiyo] It's so specific!
No, that's exactly me!
So many lives have their fate
resting on your shoulders.
Make sure you get that information.
[Taiyo] Uh
THE KUROYURI PARTY
- [groovy music playing]
- [Kuroyuri] We are
[crowd chanting]
Kuroyuri! Kuroyuri! Kuroyuri!
Hello, my friends!
[Kuroyuri] Today, I'm going to introduce
a new comrade to you!
Yoko Asada!
Clap!
[crowd cheers and applauds]
You must be overwhelmed
by all that cheering.
But you, too,
are part of the hero's family.
So stand tall!
[Taiyo] I wanna go home!
[man] Hero, my foot!
The policies you pushed
only widened the gap!
They're evil to the extreme!
Don't let this tyrant oppress the weak!
Who's the real tyrant here?
Get the hell out of here now!
[crowd shouting and clamoring]
- [gasps]
- [thud]
Mr. Kuroyuri!
[somber music playing]
[Kuroyuri] The anger towards my policies,
the difference in our philosophies
no matter what shape it takes,
it's the voice of the people,
a shout from the soul
But we came here to thwart you
It's your right as citizens
to have an opinion, no matter what it is.
And it's my mission
to listen to those voices.
Let's continue to have these
fair and open discussions.
Ms. Asada, you go on back to the office.
R-Right.
We are
[crowd chanting] Kuroyuri!
Kuroyuri! Kuroyuri!
All right, people.
I thank you for your hard work!
The way you timed
that equipment to fall was spot on, Red!
You made my injuries look
extremely realistic! Well done, Yellow!
Now, then, Blue, how did the public react?
KUROYURI PARTY FAVORABILITY RATING
All right! The online reaction's splendid.
Send this footage
to the commercial networks
to fan the flames even further!
[keyboard clacking]
This will cause those foolish citizens
to worship me yet again,
and the pinnacle of this country
will soon be mine!
[laughs]
Let's go with this for our next poster!
[Taiyo] I knew it.
That accident was totally staged.
Gaining the people's support
by deceiving them
He's been stooping to these lows
all this time.
We are
[Taiyo] No way am I going
to let them have their way.
[Red, Blue and Yellow chanting]
I'm going to expose their plot,
no matter what!
THE KUROYURI PARTY
[Taiyo] However
[Kuroyuri] Ms. Asada.
Are you looking for something?
Oh, no! I'm just organizing a bit!
ACCOUNTING REPOR
[Taiyo] Try as I might, I just couldn't
find any information on their crimes.
Far from it.
Let me go! I've never accepted any bribes!
This is a conspiracy!
PARTY DEBATE
Sir, you must offer a rebuttal.
[groans]
My stomach
[Taiyo] Their heinous activities
continued unabated,
and they kept shifting
the political climate in their favor.
And as the bomb loomed overhead,
I had yet to pin down a single clue.
- [groovy music playing]
- Our budget proposal passed!
A celebratory dance is in order!
[Taiyo] What's going on here?
I'm watching them 24 hours a day,
and they show no signs
of drawing up any plans.
How do they
keep committing crime after crime?
Now, now, Ms. Asada,
you must join in on the fun now and then!
[Taiyo] I can't take this!
Why do these guys love to dance so much?
For people who dance every day,
they're terrible at keeping rhythm.
Hey, that's
[Red] Target A,
engineered disappearance complete.
[Blue] Illegal sale of 30%
of Company B's shares, complete.
[Yellow] This will drain
all of the Tanaka faction's funds.
[Kuroyuri] Well done. That leaves me
with one less enemy group!
[Taiyo] Morse code? Of course!
They've been doing this
in the open all along.
[Red] When I showed Company C
proof of their tax evasion,
they were happy to switch sides.
[Kuroyuri] Those with guilty consciences
are easy.
They don't require any prodding.
All right, why don't we go over tomorrow's
terrorist bomb attack one final time?
Mr. Kuroyuri, I'm counting on you today.
It's mutual, Deputy Prime Minister.
[Kuroyuri] Many foes
of the Kuroyuri Party,
including the Deputy Prime Minister,
will gather at next week's meeting.
They're all formidable foes
who won't succumb to my maneuvering.
That's why I'm going
to get rid of them right then and there.
We'll plant the bomb underneath the stage.
When the speakers mount the podium,
we'll set it off.
The people nearby will die instantly.
Give me some fake injuries
while also shielding me from the blast.
All right, start the music!
Wh-What was that? Terrorists?
No way, you're overreacting.
[man] It must be the fountain's effect.
[Taiyo] I had no time
to disable the bomb
but luckily, I was able to counteract
the blast in a nearby fountain.
Somehow, I managed to thwart
- [gasps]
- [Kuroyuri] Too bad for you.
I didn't mention this yesterday,
but I've got another bomb.
Mr. Taiyo Asano! [laughs]
Now that I have you
in the palm of my hand,
shall we dance?
[gunshot fires]
[chuckles]
Now I've gotten rid
of every last one of them. Huh?
Hey, what's this?
Feels so good!
ANTI-SHOCK JACKET MADE BY SHINZO
FLUFF FLUFF
Shock-resistant jackets? Who the hell
I see.
Blood-spray pellets, eh?
You're full of ideas, aren't you?
But you should have kept playing dead.
Do you really think you have a chance
when it's four on one?
You thought he was alone?
What
[Sui] Yoshimasa Kuroyuri
and Red, Blue, and Yellow
I'm placing you under arrest.
[gasps, whimpers]
You worthless fools!
How much did I pay you to
You are the fool for seeking loyalty
from private-sector spies.
No! I never give up!
No!
[Sui] Zero casualties as of now.
The three who fled won't be coming back.
Hinagiku will take care
of the crime scene.
Your job is to escort him.
When you arrive at headquarters,
hand him over to the chief.
[whistling]
He might make some suspicious moves.
Watch your back.
He's not making anything
but suspicious moves!
Check it out.
[Kuroyuri] Electric Revolver Yae.
That's a traditional Yozakura weapon.
This is the first time I've ever seen it.
Taiyo Asano. You overcame the loss
of your family in an accident,
and persevered to become a proven member
of the Yozakura family,
their excellent rookie.
I don't know where you dug up all that
[Kuroyuri] But there's
just one unfortunate thing.
The fact that you really believe
it was an accident.
Hide Asano, Akari Asano, Hikaru Asano
One rainy day,
they fell off a cliff, car and all.
Your family died instantly,
but you alone survived.
Truly miraculous.
However
some miracles are the handiwork of man.
What are you talking about?
You
What do you know about my family?
