[00:05] Johnny
    Are you ready...
[00:08] Johnny
    Lily?
[00:09] Lily
    Johnny.
[00:16] Lily
    Nasty!
[00:21] Johnny
    What is this?! More cats?
[00:24] Johnny
    Pipe down!
[00:29] Lily
    I'm leaving.
[00:29] Johnny
    Aw, wait, Lily!
[00:34] Johnny
    Those stupid furballs!
[00:39] Goro
    I see. A sudden cluster of cats?
[00:43] Johnny
    And I'm allergic...
[00:46] Johnny
    Even hearing them mewling
    is enough to get me sneezing.
[00:50] Johnny
    As big of a hit with the ladies as I am,
    it's got me stumped.
[00:54] Jiro
    Who talks about themselves like that?
[00:56] Goro
    So, you'd like us to stop the cats
    from gathering there, I take it?
[01:01] Taro
    Oh, come on, we don't do odd jobs here.
[01:04] Johnny
    But I'd heard this was the place
    to come to get things done.
[01:09] Taro
    Man, where the hell are people hearing that?
[01:12] Taro
    Listen up, we're the staff of a magazine.
    So that's a big old pass.
[01:17] Goro
    But he's come all this way...
[01:20] Jiro
    And I'm kind of curious.
[01:22] Jiro
    What is it that's making cats
    suddenly gather in that spot?
[01:25] Goro
    It's intriguing!
[01:27] Goro
    They do say that cats
    have paranormal abilities.
[01:27] Johnny'
    Here we go.
[01:29] Taro
    I bet Catherine would say,
    "That doesn't sound very Monthly Moso Science."
[01:31] Sign
    Little Luck
    You're in for
    a surprise
    when you
    find where
    cats lie
[01:33] Goro
    She would not.
[01:35] Taro
    She so would.
[01:35] Jiro
    No, she wouldn't.
[01:36] Taro
    Not you, too, Jiro!
[01:38] Goro
    For now, let's at least hear him out—
[01:39] Catherine
    Hello there, Master. Can I get my usual?
[01:42] Rock
    Sure thing.
[01:43] Goro
    Good to see you, Chief!
[01:46] Johnny
    You're the editor-in-chief? It's a pleasure.
[01:51] Catherine
    And who's this?
[01:52] Goro
    He's here with a tip on a story.
[01:54] Jiro
    A bunch of cats keep gathering
     near his place and bothering him.
[01:56] Catherine
    Oh, cats?
[01:58] Catherine
    What kind are they? Tawny? Calico? Tabby?
[02:01] Johnny
    I'm actually allergic, so...
[02:04] Catherine
    Oh, that must be awful.
[02:06] Catherine
    So, any specific breeds? Munchkins?
    Persians? American Shorthairs? Ragdolls?
[02:10] Rock
    Here you go.
[02:11] Catherine
    Thank you!
[02:13] Listen up
    I want this one done in-depth.
[02:16] Taro
    Are you serious right now?
[02:17] Catherine
    Cat stories move issues!
[02:21] Catherine
    Don't forget the photos!
[02:26] Johnny
    Immune to my charms, eh?
[02:28] Goro
    With that settled,
    let's begin our investigation!
[02:31] Jiro
    It's an order from the chief, after all.
[02:33] Taro
    Ugh, fine...

    This Is Where the Cats Gather
[04:15] Jiro
    Here we are!
[04:17] Taro
    I don't see any cats.
[04:18] Goro
    Maybe they only gather late at night.
[04:22] Taro
    What is that?
[04:24] Goro
    A scanning device that I poured untold
    hours into during my laboratory tenure!
[04:31] Goro
    I'm not getting any readings, but...
[04:35] Taro
    Why would they even show
    up around here, anyway?
[04:39] Jiro
    Cats generally don't
    operate in groups, yeah.
[04:43] Goro
    I believe in urban areas,
    their territory often overlaps.
[04:47] Taro
    Territory?
[04:49] Goro
    It's why they sometimes communicate,
    in order to convey a lack of antagonism.
[04:53] Jiro
    So it's like... a neighborhood's
    community meetup?
[04:56] Taro
    How is it like that?
[04:57] Goro
    There are assorted theories,
[05:00] Goro
    but since there doesn't appear
    to be traces of food left out...
[05:04] Goro
    It could just be comfortable here for them.
[05:07] Jiro
    Well, we'll have to come back late at night,
    when the cats are supposed to show up.
[05:11] Taro
    I think I'll head home and snooze.
[05:13] Goro
    Or we could investigate another matter!
[05:22] Taro
    Dammit... where does he get the energy?
[05:26] Goro
    You've got it all wrong!
    We're just here to do a story!
[05:31] Goro
    Wait—
[05:35] Goro
    Ow!
[05:37] Jiro
    Th-Thanks.
[05:39] Taro
    That didn't take long.
[05:42] Goro
    Ow, ow, ow... they literally threw us out.
[05:46] Jiro
    That was some airtight security.
[05:50] Jiro
    Huh?
[05:52] Jiro
    Isn't that...?
[05:54] Taro
    Cat allergy Johnny!
[05:56] Goro
    He works as a model for
    the White Pegasus Company?
[06:00] Taro
    Still, I think I've seen him
    somewhere else before...
[06:08] Taro
    For some reason...
[06:12] Taro
    I can't...
[06:13] Goro
    Taro?!
[06:14] Goro
    Are you all right?
[06:16] Jiro
    Wow, knocked out again?
[06:21] Goro
    He's not waking at all.
[06:23] Jiro
    I'm enjoying the quiet.
[06:25] Goro
    What does the White Pegasus Company
    intend to do with their MOParts?
[06:30] Jiro
    World conquest, maybe?
[06:33] Taro
    World conquest... That would fit
    the evil organization template.
[06:37] Jiro
    Er, I was joking?
[06:38] Taro
    If a single business was able to monopolize
    the advanced technology of the Mo Continent,
[06:44] Taro
    it would be incredibly dangerous.
[06:45] Jiro
    But there's nothing else suspicious, right?
    They're a normal company.
[06:49] Goro
    My grandmother, who loved
    suspense stories, once told me...
[06:53] Goro
    It's always the least suspicious-
    looking suspect that's guilty!
[06:57] Jiro
    She did, huh?
[07:07] Johnny
    Shall I strip?
[07:11] Edward
    I see.
[07:16] Edward
    I'm surprised they've
    sought out the company.
[07:20] Edward
    That said, it won't be a problem.
[07:23] Edward
    We'll soon have what we want.
[07:32] Onlookers
    Oh, Johnny!
[07:34] Onlookers
    What're you doing tonight?
[07:35] Onlookers
    Let's hang out!
[07:35] Johnny
    Good question...
[07:37] Johnny
    Okay, you've got it! Let's all have a party!
[07:45] Taro
    I just remembered something!
[07:48] Taro
    I think it was around here... Got it.

[07:56] Goro
    It really is Johnny!
[07:59] Jiro
    That's one of our issues
    from five years ago.
[08:02] Jiro
    Ew... he did stuff like this?
[08:05] Goro
    We all have our pasts, it seems.
[08:09] Rock
    Oh, sorry, we're closed for—
[08:11] Son
    Have you seen Sotetsu?!
[08:13] Jiro
    Sotetsu?
[08:15] Mom
    I'm sorry about this...
[08:17] Mom
    Sotetsu is our cat who's
    been missing for a month.
[08:20] Son
    We've been looking for him this
    whole time but can't find him.
[08:25] Goro
    I haven't seen any cats around here.
[08:28] Jiro
    Me neither.
[08:29] Mom
    I see.
[08:32] Mom
    Well... is it okay if we
    post a flier in this cafe?
SIGN    Lost cat!
[08:37] Goro
    What a sweet-looking cat.
[08:40] Goro
    We'll contact you if we hear anything.
[08:43] Mom
    Thank you so much.
[08:44] Son
    We really appreciate it!
[08:50] Taro
    Between this and the cat gathering
    spot... It's a very feline day.
[08:54] Goro
    That reminds me. We should get going!
[08:56] Taro
    Maybe I shouldn't have said anything...
[09:00] Jiro
    Still no cats at all.
[09:02] Goro
    It seems that way.
[09:04] Taro
    Damn it all...
[09:05] Taro
    I would not be here
    if I wasn't getting paid extra.
[09:08] Taro
    People are supposed to go
    to sleep once the sun sets!
[09:12] Johnny
    And this is my place!
[09:15] Girls 1&2
    Oh, Johnny!
[09:18] Johnny
    Can't wait to have that hot coffee!
[09:21] Girls 1&2
    Oh, Johnny!
[09:23] Johnny
    I'm counting on you guys
    for the thing, okay?
[09:25] Johnny
    And now welcome to where the magic happens!
[09:26] Taro
    What the hell is his deal?
[09:28] Johnny
    Feel free to make yourselves comfortable.
[09:28] Goro
    I say we enjoy our cat stakeout!
[09:30] Girls 1&2
    Oh, Johnny!
[09:34] Taro
    Wow, you came prepared!
[09:36] Taro
    Let's have us a dinner party!
[09:38] Goro
    Right! And we'll start with a toast!
[09:40] Jiro
    Such children...
[09:46] Noin
    They're a bunch of clueless goofs.
[09:48] Perch
    He's got the bag with him.
[09:51] Noin
    We've got two Motarians.
[09:53] Perch
    If we grab the entire bag...
[09:55] Noin
    Then the MOParts are ours!
[10:00] Taro
    Oh, these beef rolls are tasty!
[10:03] Goro
    You think?
[10:04] Goro
    I put it together trying to ensure
    it was nutritionally balanced.
[10:07] Taro
    You've gotta give me the recipe!
[10:09] Taro
    So I can cook it up for my
    beloved partner-to-be!
[10:12] Jiro
    And who's that supposed to be?
[10:16] Goro
    I've noticed there don't appear
    to be any cats about.
[10:20] Jiro
    You think it might be
    because we're eating here?
[10:24] Taro
    Hey, then we fixed the problem.
[10:27] Taro
    He just wants us to keep
    the cats away, right?
[10:30] Jiro
    So do you wanna eat out here
    every night from now on?
[10:33] Taro
    Uh, no, actually.
[10:35] Taro
    Why should I bother for that clown, anyway?
[10:38] Taro
    Stupid Johnny!
[10:41] Johnny
    What a party!
[10:44] Perch
    Okay.
[10:45] Noin
    Time to move!
[10:54] Perch
    Where'd this cat come from?!
[10:56] Perch
    You're in the way! Run along!
[11:09] Perch
    Good...
[11:13] Noin
    So heavy! What the hell is in there?!
[11:15] Goro
    Oh, you've got some ketchup
    on your mouth, Taro.
[11:18] Goro
    Care for a tissue?
[11:20] Perch
    Oh, no!
[11:24] Goro
    Huh... whatever is this?
[11:28] Taro
    Hey, don't worry about me. I've got tissues.
[11:32] Taro
    I carry all kinds of stuff around in case
    my beloved partner-to-be needs 'em!
[11:36] Goro
    How very well-prepared of you, Taro!
[11:37] Jiro
    Seriously, who is he even talking about?
[11:38] Taro
    I know, right?!
[11:41] Noin
    Dammit, we'll have to do this the hard way!
[11:48] Noin/Perch
    Ow, ow, ow, ow!
[11:50] Jiro
    Cats!
[11:52] Goro
    It's them again!
[11:55] Taro
    Those cats are really letting them have it!
[11:57] Johnny
    Enough!
[12:00] Johnny
    I asked you to—
[12:04] Girl 1
    See ya.
[12:05] Johnny
    Hang on! Just a moment!
[12:05] Girl 2
    Later.
[12:08] Taro
    Heh, Johnny got dumped! Again!
[12:11] Noin
    We'll just have to take them out
    in the process, then!
[12:15] Perch
    Yeah! Considering we've got
    twice as many Motarians!
[12:19] Noin
    Transform!
[12:45] Taro
    Oh, great, they transformed again!
[12:49] Jiro
    You'd better change, too!
[12:50] Goro
    Please, Taro!
[12:53] Taro
    What?! No way, man!
[12:54] Taro
    I drank too much today! Not happening!
[13:11] Noin
    What... is that?
[13:13] Perch
    Don't ask me.
[13:18] Taro
    That cat... Aw, crap...
[13:21] Jiro
    Get him!
[13:21] Goro
    Roger that!
[13:24] Taro
    They got me!
[13:48] Goro
    Remarkable. The sight of all three
    of them is truly over-scientific!
[13:56] Perch
    You and the cats...
[13:58] Noin
    ...are all going down!
[14:18] Jiro
    The cats!
[14:23] Goro
    Look!
[14:30] Goro
    Oh, how over-scientific!
[14:41] Perch
    You all right?
[14:42] Noin
    Y-Yeah.
[14:43] Perch
    Hey! You're heavy, man!
[14:46] Noin
    Get off us, you turd tiger!
[14:55] Goro
    Go on, get them!
[14:59] Perch
    We are not...
[15:01] Noin
    ...going down like this!
[15:05] Goro
    Taro!
[15:06] Jiro
    This is bad! We've gotta protect the cats!
[15:10] Jiro
    Can't we do something?
[15:11] Goro
    Hang on! I should have some kind of tool...
[15:15] Goro
    My wave-motion converter!
[15:18] Goro
    But not that...
[15:19] Goro
    The miraculous harmonic tuner!
[15:22] Goro
    Won't help here...
[15:23] Goro
    Come on... Come on...
[15:26] Goro
    Where is—
[15:26] Jiro
    You dropped something!
[15:48] Goro
    Catch it, Jiro!
[15:49] Jiro
    Okay!
[16:07] Goro
    Jiro, too?!
[16:09] Perch
    No way!
[16:10] Noin
    They have two Motarians?!
[16:13] Jiro
    Good day to you commoners.
[16:20] Jiro
    You should lower your heads in my presence.
[16:24] Goro
    He spoke! Then his reason is intact?
[16:27] Jiro
    Sebastian, come!
[16:29] Jiro
    Sebastian, where are you?
[16:31] Noin
    Who the hell is Sebastian?
[16:33] Perch
    I dunno.
[16:34] Noin
    And I don't like his attitude!
[16:40] Jiro
    Don't touch me.
[16:47] Jiro
    Ridiculous. I could have chipped a horn.
[16:50] Goro
    You seem... completely different.
[16:53] Perch
    This is bad! We're heading back for today!
[16:57] Goro
    They ran!
[17:01] Jiro
    They should learn some shame.
[17:09] Jiro
    You there. Then you're not Sebastian?
[17:14] Jiro
    No matter!
[17:24] Jiro
    What was I just doing...?
[17:26] Goro
    You don't remember?
[17:30] Jiro
    I sort of do, but sort of don't...
[17:33] Jiro
    It was like I was dreaming.
[17:41] Goro
    The cats are leaving.
[17:43] Jiro
    Wait, wasn't that the boss cat before?
[17:47] Goro
    It was originally quite a cutie!
[17:50] Goro
    But where have I seen him before...?
[17:54] Goro
    Sotetsu!
[18:01] Jiro
    He's hurt.
[18:03] Jiro
    I'll heal you right away.
[18:18] Son
    Thank you so much!
[18:23] Jiro
    I'm glad we found their cat.
[18:27] Jiro
    What is it?
[18:29] Goro
    It's just... you have a pretty different
    personality when you transform.
[18:33] Jiro
    I do?
[18:33] Goro
    Well, I wouldn't worry about it!
[18:39] Jiro
    I wonder how Sotetsu ended up
    with a MOPart in his ear.
[18:44] Goro
    I'd assume...
[18:45] Goro
    Since the MOPart we found
    at the well was broken,
[18:49] Goro
    the other piece must have...
[19:04] Goro
    Which is what led to
    Sotetsu's gangsterfication,
[19:07] Goro
    causing him to gather
    the other cats late at night.
[19:11] Jiro
    Makes sense.
[19:13] Goro
    And now the MOParts have been reunited!
[19:17] Taro
    Ow, ow, ow...
[19:19] Taro
    Aw, man, I've had enough
    of both cats and MOParts.
[19:22] Goro
    It's so strange.
[19:24] Goro
    Taro loses control when
    he transforms, but you don't.
[19:29] Taro
    What are you talking about?
[19:31] Jiro
    I was apparently able to transform.
[19:34] Taro
    What?! You too, Jiro?!
[19:35] Goro
    Wait, this order of events...
    Will I get to transform next?!
[19:41] Goro
    Oh, how over-scientific that would be!
[20:00] Goro
    What is this light?
[20:02] Jiro
    Is it pointing us toward something?
[20:13] Goro
    Coffee beans?
[20:17] Jiro
    Beneath the bag...
    there's something on the floor.
[20:22] Taro
    I've been coming here for a long time,
    but I had no idea about a secret basement.
[20:28] Jiro
    Let's check it out.
[20:39] Goro
    No good. It's locked.
[20:41] Taro
    I've got it.
[20:45] Taro
    I learned stuff like this for the sake
    of my beloved partner-to-be.
[20:50] Goro
    Impressive, Taro!
[20:52] Goro
    When would you even need
     to pick a lock, though?
[20:55] Jiro
    Maybe when his wife kicks him out?
[20:59] Taro
    It's unlocked.
[21:03] Jiro
    It's totally dark.
[21:05] Goro
    Times like this call for a flashlight!
[21:14] Taro
    What is this place?
[21:23] Goro
    These patterns... I've seen them before...
[21:29] Goro
    Could it be?
[21:34] Goro
    That's it! If we gather them all here...
[21:38] Taro
    Something wrong?
[21:41] Jiro
    No, it's... It's nothing.
[21:50] Jiro
    What did I just see?
