Mission: Yozakura Family (2024) s01e14 Episode Script

1
[flames crackling]
-[man] Mutsumi
-Huh?
Forgive me.
[breathes deeply]
[Taiyo] I guess there's no way
to pinpoint Tanpopo's headquarters.
Was there any other data
I haven't checked yet?
Receipts?
He's more meticulous than he looks.
But receipt data Probably not useful.
"Dandy Lion"?
A dandy lion? Hold up.
"Dandelion" is the English word
for "tanpopo," right?
Nah, come on!
He wouldn't use a pun like that!
[gasps]
I guess it's worth looking into, huh?
[opening theme song playing]
MISSION: YOZAKURA FAMILY
PLAN 14
AIM FOR THE SUITE ROOM
I had an interaction with a Yozakura.
[Kawashita] No.
Not a sibling. The groom, actually.
I'm sure we'll soon get
another opportunity.
When we do, of course,
I'm going to try it out.
-You know what I mean.
-[knock on door]
[man] I'm coming in.
[Kawashita] All right,
that's it for now. Right.
You got here late, Nohmen!
[groans softly]
Is it morning?
Huh?
Wha Wha Wha Wha
What? What?!
Where am I? What is this place?
[Kyoichiro] Morning!
It's such a glorious day,
I took us out on the Pacific.
[Taiyo] That explains nothing!
Brother to brother, man to man
I thought we could do some bonding.
[Kyoichiro] Hey!
Good for you, Taiyo!
That's a big one!
It won't slip if you use a fish gripper.
That kind of bait makes you uncomfortable?
Well, we've got worms, too.
Here's Nanao's motion sickness remedy.
Better take it now while you can.
Look at that, Taiyo! You got another one!
[Taiyo] What's up with this guy?
He's terrifying!
There's no way
he'd get all chummy with me!
I just know there's a catch!
[Kyoichiro] All right, here's lunch!
[Taiyo] Big Bro Kyoichiro! Thank you
[screams]
By "lunch," did he mean me?
[chuckles lightly]
No way, right?
Did you think that
you were going to be tossed overboard?
Huh?
No, I
No need to be suspicious.
It's just my offering to you
for pouring your soul into training.
Training?
[water splashing]
Huh?
[Taiyo shouts]
[grunts]
Who's this?
Don't let something like that rattle you.
Maritime training to hone stowaway tactics
is one of the foundations of being a spy.
[Kyoichiro] Futaba and I used to do it
a lot as kids.
Huh? So, this guy is
my training partner?
Nope. In the Yozakura family,
actual combat is used for combat training.
For example
YOZAKURA BLOODBATH SPECIAL!!
by sending out flyers
to lure in enemies!
I knew it had to be something like that!
[Kyoichiro] Check it out!
Your friends are converging on us!
Hit them back.
[gasps] What!?
Taiyo, you've earned
a Bronze-ranked spy license, right?
[Kyoichiro] By the time they were
in grade school, our younger siblings
had already reached
the Bronze or Silver rank.
The difficulty level of this drill
is one star, tops.
A Bronze-ranked spy should be able
to clear this mission without a hitch.
If you call yourself a Yozakura,
let's see you get through it.
Well, not that an ordinary person like you
could handle it right off the bat.
[Taiyo] Oh, yes, I can!
It's true
that I'm ordinary
but I've been trained by the Yozakuras!
[loud thud]
Ah, how reassuring.
All right, what would you do
in this situation?
[all men] A-A torpedo?
[glass shattering]
[gasps, coughs]
-Are you all right?
-[man coughs]
M-My bad!
[Kyoichiro laughing]
If you can rescue the enemy
you must be cruisin'.
[Taiyo] Right back at you.
But a torpedo Who on earth
[gasps]
[Kyoichiro] Apparently, these waters
are part of Tanpopo's smuggling route.
They've set up an unmanned fighter here
that fires on anyone who gets too close.
Or so I've been told.
Although it was just a rumor.
[Taiyo] A rumor?
But now, this proves
that rumor to be a fact.
Th-Then
[Kyoichiro] Using bait to lure in
the enemy. Espionage 101.
Listen up. Do you know
what it means to take on Tanpopo?
Let me make it clear.
[Kyoichiro] You'd be taking on
a globe-spanning criminal route
and a government-level military network.
The difficulty of this mission
would easily clear the five stars
assigned to Gold-ranked spies.
It's not one that you'd have
any chance of clearing as a Bronze rank.
If you want to back down, now's the time.
[Taiyo] It's not a matter
of whether or not I have a chance.
As long as they're targeting Mutsumi
backing down is not an option!
[Kyoichiro] Well, yes.
For once, we're on the same page.
[screaming] H-H-Huuuuuh?
[Taiyo] It's going to shred me to bits!
[Kyoichiro] The second one
must've gone off.
It's going to strike here
within about 30 seconds.
It won't put a scratch on me
but the others are sure
to be blown to smithereens.
[all] Huh?
[Kyoichiro] I'm sure you've forgotten
but in the past, the only way you could
protect others was to sacrifice yourself.
But
you're a licensed, professional spy now.
What is it that you can do?
[Shinzo] A torpedo's warhead
is at the front,
while the guidance system is at the rear.
HUNDRED-VIRTUE KNIFE
MADE BY SHINZO - 100 USES
Find the hollow, and use Blade #42
to open up the outer shell.
[Shion] To disarm a missile,
first cut the communication circuit
between the warhead and propulsion system.
STOPPING
[man] Here it comes!
[all clamoring]
[Kengo] The waterproof film has no
durability, so if you twist it, it'll rip.
[Nanao] If you block the signal with this
alloy, you can override the motive power.
[Taiyo] Stop!
[all] You stopped it!
You're awesome, man!
-Sorry we tried to kill you!
-[chuckles]
-[system beeping]
-[man] ETA for impact has passed!
Unable to confirm detonation!
No waveform data received.
Preparing to relaunch!
[alert blaring]
Warning! Unidentified object closing in!
Send a stop signal at once!
[Kyoichiro] It's too late.
Let them know in the transmission logs.
That a weapon of this quality
has zero effect on the Yozakuras.
[all screaming]
[exhales wearily]
[Kyoichiro] Overpowering a platoon
and disabling a missile.
That was your catch today.
I'm feeling generous,
so I'll call that about two stars.
[Taiyo chuckles]
Just as you guessed,
that hotel has links to Tanpopo.
RECEIP
A hot tip from Hotokeyama.
A suite room at Hotel Dandy Lion.
[Kyoichiro] That's where you'll find
Makoto Kawashita.
MISSION: YOZAKURA FAMILY
Big Bro Shinzo?
Yes. I'm sending him your way.
[Kyoichiro] Since he happens to be
free right now.
The fact that Tanpopo's set up so openly
in a place like Hotel Dandy Lion
shows how confident they are
that they can launch a counterattack.
If you stumbled in on them unprepared,
they'd tear you limb from limb
no, they'd tear you into a hundred pieces!
[cackles]
[Taiyo] He's enjoying this way too much!
Mmm. [chuckles]
Hmm?
[Futaba] What do you think you're doing?
What are you talking about?
[Futaba] Dragging that kid into this.
[chuckles dryly] For you, this is pretty
This is about the fact that there's
a connection to his family's accident.
Nothing more, nothing less.
I'm not so sure.
[elevator dings]
[Taiyo] All right Here I go!
Huh?
[bellboy gasps]
Hey, you, are you new here?
You should know you're not supposed
to get on the elevator to the suite floor.
[bellboy] Only a select group of guests
and designated hotel staff
can get past
the facial recognition system.
It's a world that ordinary folks
like us will never know.
[Taiyo] What kind of messed-up
social divide is that?
Okay, then, if I can't get there
from the inside
I'll go from the outside!
GECKO GLOVES
MICRO HAIRS THAT STICK TO ANY OBJEC
All right, I'm past the 40th floor!
Just a little farther
Huh?
You've been at it again with your
heart attack-inducing shopping sprees?
You spendthrift!
Why would I tolerate being with you
unless I got to spend that kind of money?
-[Taiyo] Huh?
-[glass breaking]
No Wait!
[grunts]
You horrible cheapskate geezer!
[grunts]
Hey [screaming]
You've got to be kidding me!
Wow, what a dive!
You've got nerves of steel!
[Taiyo] I thought my number was up!
I thought my number was up!
[woman] Oh, dear! Little Tama fell asleep!
Huh?
I'll be going back up to my room now,
so when Tama wakes up, please bring her
to the suite room on the 47th floor.
Understood, ma'am!
[Taiyo gasps]
[Nohmen] A suspicious-looking employee?
Right.
He could be a spy from the police,
so detain him as soon as he's found.
[line disconnects]
It seems like a strange insect
has wandered in.
You haven't done
anything weird again, have you?
NOHMEN - OWNER OF DANDY LION
HOBBIES: COOKING, YOGA
[Kawashita] Who knows?
There! It's done!
Nohmen, you can have it!
[Nohmen] Don't want it. It's beyond lame.
You sure love sewing.
It's great practice for surgery.
Oh, right.
I brought the latest batch today.
What? That again?
[Kawashita] Don't give me that look.
It's a new and improved version
with less side effects.
You said that about the last one,
and it was awful.
I'm not using that again.
Hey, come on. Just take it
whenever you feel like it, okay?
[Taiyo] Freeze!
[both] Huh?
[Taiyo] I won't let you
get away again, Kawashita!
Now sit tight and surrender!
What is that odd beast?
That voice
[chuckles lightly]
Didn't I tell you to cherish your life,
Taiyo Asano?
You're trying so hard,
and I wish I could take you on.
But I'm a busy man, so
Another time, all right?
[Taiyo grunts]
[Nohmen] You're the guy who married
into the Yozakura family, right?
What a cutie you are.
[grunts]
What's this, Nohmen? Looking for a snack?
[Nohmen] No sexual harassment, please.
Also, I'm not into younger guys.
But he does seem reasonably skilled.
I don't want to work up a sweat
for nothing, so I'll make this quick.
Thank you!
And let me know how you liked it later!
[Kawashita] See you!
Come back here!
[groans]
[Nohmen] He really is a creepy guy.
But the thing is,
creepy or not, I owe him my life.
I won't let you get in his way.
Not like you could stop him anyway.
Neither him nor Tanpopo.
I'll clue you in
on their bottomless malice.
You know that Yozakura blood
has a special power, right?
Tanpopo has been relentlessly researching
ways to acquire that power.
And what they came up with was this
Hazakura.
It's a doping agent
that replicates the Yozakura blood.
[Taiyo gasps]
[Nohmen] Hazakura contains a substance
that mimics someinine,
the Yozakuras' power source.
Compatibility rates
depend on the person, so
For an average person like myself
this is as good as it gets.
[Taiyo] What's up with him?
[Taiyo grunts]
[Nohmen] I feel bad for you
because you're so young
but sorry.
[Kawashita] The Yozakura groom
came by again.
Nohmen is battling him right now.
As scheduled,
I'll be moving onto the next step
so please keep up
the good work on your end.
[Taiyo coughing]
[Nohmen] To even be conscious
is impressive.
As is your grit in landing a blow.
Muscular strength,
healing power, durability
Hazakura can reproduce
multiple Yozakura powers at once.
Although it's way inferior
to the real thing.
Tormenting children isn't my style.
I'll put you out of your misery
right away.
[grunts]
[rumbling]
[Nohmen] Hmm?
[Shinzo] Sorry I'm late, Taiyo.
