    "Sunabouzu - Desert Punk"
[00:17] ---
    I am the one!
[00:20] ---
    Push on ahead as you like, yeah
[00:24] ---
    Oh, listen closely to me
[00:28] ---
    and speak the name
    of the desert god

[00:32] ---
    Clench your teeth
[00:36] ---
    When your heart starts
    to tremble with heat...

[00:40] ---
    Stop it! It'll only
    bring destruction

[00:46] ---
    Let's do it, oh, angel
[00:50] ---
    Now is the time to
    stand up and be strong

[00:55] ---
    A sad history, a
    hidden big story

[00:59] ---
    That's the mystery
[01:02] ---
    There's nothing certain
    about what tomorrow holds

[01:10] ---
    so living through this moment
[01:15] ---
    is my mission alone
[01:38] ---
    This sucks...
[01:40] ---
    Yah, all we ever do is keep watch...
[01:43] ---
    We done up and left the boonies
    cuz of all that fancy talk,
[01:46] ---
    but all we do is weasel around,
    ain't even no shootouts...
[01:55] ---
    What is it?!
[01:57] ---
    There was a kid...
[01:59] ---
    A kid?! Yeah, like there'd really
    be one in this ol' scrapheap...!
[02:04] ---
    No, really...!
[02:09] ---
    Wait, you...!
[02:11] ---
    You clod! Don't leave yer post!
[02:15] ---
    Sheesh...
[02:28] ---
    "Little Girl and Rescue"
[02:40] ---
    How much longer?
[02:42] ---
    Take it easy...
[02:44] ---
    Yeah...!
[02:45] ---
    We'll be filthy rich
    once the sun shows its face!
[02:51] ---
    Hey...
[02:53] ---
    Sorry! Were we too loud, Shimada-san?
[02:58] ---
    Isn't it time to change shifts?
[03:01] ---
    It's time already?!
[03:03] ---
    Come on, quit spazzin' out!
[03:06] ---
    Shaddup!
[03:09] ---
    She hasn't eaten...?
[03:10] ---
    Nope. Won't even give me the time of day,
    after all my generosity...
[03:16] ---
    She probably only eats fancy stuff...
[03:20] ---
    Dammit...
[03:25] ---
    What a hardnosed brat.
[03:27] ---
    You want I should
    force it down her throat?
[03:30] ---
    Forget about it.
[03:31] ---
    We'll be done babysitting once
    our client shows up in the morning.
[03:36] ---
    I bet this kid's
    gonna be worth lots again!
[03:40] ---
    Way more than what
    we're gettin' paid...!
[03:43] ---
    Don't stick your nose where it
    don't belong. It'll only get you hurt.
[03:49] ---
    Just focus on your own job...
[03:55] ---
    Someone come here!
[03:56] ---
    Wait! You stay here!
[04:02] ---
    What the...?
[04:04] ---
    Who the hell could've--
[04:06] ---
    They alive?
[04:07] ---
    Y-yes...! They're just unconscious...!
[04:11] ---
    How odd...
[04:13] ---
    Why not just kill 'em
    and throw 'em outta sight?
[04:17] ---
    Why do something this obvious?
[04:20] ---
    Oh, shit!
[04:23] ---
    We've been had...!
[04:26] ---
    Come on! Get up!
[04:29] ---
    There were guards posted
    all around the room... so how?
[04:34] ---
    S-sorry...!
[04:37] ---
    I was suddenly attacked from above...
[04:40] ---
    Above...?!
[04:46] ---
    I see...
[04:48] ---
    Tell everyone to secure the exits!
    Don't let 'em escape!
[04:52] ---
    Right!
[04:53] ---
    You three come with me!
[04:56] ---
    We're going rat-hunting!
[04:58] ---
    Swiping prey from
    kidnapping professionals...
[05:03] ---
    I gotta say, that's pretty gutsy...
[05:07] ---
    That was close...!
[05:13] ---
    Old "Night Mist" Shimada is
    definitely one hell of a kidnapper!
[05:17] ---
    He reacts quick!
    Can't let my guard down!
[05:23] ---
    Hey, quit actin' up!
[05:25] ---
    Hey, Kosuna! You read me?
[05:26] ---
    I'm here.
[05:28] ---
    Change of plans.
[05:29] ---
    Switch from Operation Cyclone
    to Operation Hurricane! Hurry!
[05:32] ---
    Eh?! I was in the
    middle of getting it ready...!
[05:36] ---
    Quit complaining! Just do it!
[05:38] ---
    Fine...
[05:42] ---
    You're safe now, little girl!
    You must've been scared...
[05:48] ---
    Not only did they tie you up,
    they even gagged you...!
[05:52] ---
    You poor thing...
[05:54] ---
    Why, you...!
[05:57] ---
    W-what...?!
[05:58] ---
    I don't need your help!
[06:00] ---
    Huh?!
[06:01] ---
    Daddy hired you to save me, right?!
[06:06] ---
    Y-yes, that's right...
[06:09] ---
    Unbelievable!
[06:10] ---
    What if you had screwed up
    and I got caught in a shootout?!
[06:15] ---
    This could all end quietly
    if he would just pay the ransom...!
[06:20] ---
    And look! My favorite
    outfit is all filthy!
[06:24] ---
    I'll have you know that
    this was VERY expensive!
[06:27] ---
    Y-you know...
[06:30] ---
    We're going to have to walk now, right?
[06:33] ---
    --Umm, little girl...
[06:33] ---
    -- I really don't like walking...!
[06:36] ---
    I'm starving, and I don't want to walk!
[06:40] ---
    Listen when people are talking!
[06:48] ---
    Yeesh...
[06:49] ---
    This's what I get for being nice,
    even if you are my client's daughter...
[06:55] ---
    You know, little girl,
    this isn't about those guys' ransom.
[07:01] ---
    What do you mean?
[07:03] ---
    Those guys're professional
    kidnappers that people hire.
[07:08] ---
    Eh? I don't really understand...
[07:12] ---
    Umm, your old man, he pulled
    some dirty tricks a while back
[07:17] ---
    to crush a rival company.
[07:20] ---
    These guys' client was
    the owner of that company.
[07:27] ---
    So basically, this isn't about money.
    It's about revenge and payback.
[07:32] ---
    His goal is to make
    your old man suffer...
[07:37] ---
    Damn! You got no idea
    what's going on, do you?!
[07:42] ---
    Basically paying the ransom won't
    automatically guarantee your safety!
[07:47] ---
    It won't?
[07:48] ---
    I wouldn't be too surprised
    if you do get killed.
[07:52] ---
    Eh?!
[07:53] ---
    But I'd choose death if I were you...!
[07:55] ---
    Sleazy rich guys very often like to...
[08:03] ---
    ...to satisfy themselves!
[08:05] ---
    Eh?!
[08:08] ---
    That scared her! Serves her right!
[08:11] ---
    Is that because I'm so adorable?!
[08:14] ---
    Huh?
[08:15] ---
    Yeah! I'm quite a beautiful little girl,
    if I do say so myself!
[08:23] ---
    Maybe it's because I'm so well-bred?
[08:26] ---
    I guess even criminals
    can appreciate that fact!
[08:31] ---
    Oh, geez...!
[08:33] ---
    Anyways! We gotta get outta here!
    Understand?!
[08:37] ---
    Yes, but I don't like dirt
    or pain or being tired!
[08:44] ---
    I hate this girl...
[08:49] ---
    They did notice...
[08:51] ---
    W-what?
[08:52] ---
    Just come on! We're gettin' outta here!
[08:54] ---
    Wait...!
[08:56] ---
    Found 'em! Floor 13, B-Point!
[08:59] ---
    As I predicted...
[09:01] ---
    Alright, tell everyone it's a "Rat Hunt".
[09:04] ---
    Understood!
[09:08] ---
    How amusing...! It's been a while
    since I was this excited!
[09:30] ---
    Nice. They're closing in slowly
    and calmly from all directions...
[09:37] ---
    Hey...!
[09:38] ---
    They're showing no confusion...
[09:40] ---
    Hey...!
[09:41] ---
    Do they know this building's layout?
[09:44] ---
    Hey! Hey!
[09:45] ---
    This is bad...! If they have
    the home-court advantage, then...
[09:49] ---
    I said hey!
[09:51] ---
    What do you want?!
[09:52] ---
    I'm tired!
[09:55] ---
    We haven't even walked
    for five minutes!
[09:58] ---
    I can't walk another step!
[10:01] ---
    Urgh! Come on, get up!
[10:03] ---
    I don't wanna!
[10:06] ---
    You dummy! I said don't act up...!
[10:09] ---
    I said I don't wanna!
[10:13] ---
    I hate this kid...!
[10:16] ---
    Anyways, the escape route I planned
    to use is completely blocked off...
[10:21] ---
    Kosuna!
[10:22] ---
    You copy?
[10:23] ---
    Y-yes, Kosuna here!
[10:29] ---
    What's wrong?
[10:30] ---
    Oh, I was just thinking how you
    seemed nice and friendly for once...!
[10:36] ---
    Eh?
[10:37] ---
    Never mind. Operation Hurricane
    is cancelled! Switch to Monsoon!
[10:42] ---
    Again?! After all I did...?!
[10:45] ---
    Don't blame me! Plans hafta be flexible!
    Be quick about it!
[10:53] ---
    OK, let's move!
[10:57] ---
    Come on...
[10:59] ---
    What? Gonna whine some more?
[11:02] ---
    ...to...
[11:04] ---
    Huh?!
[11:06] ---
    ...want to...!
[11:08] ---
    I can't hear you.
[11:10] ---
    ...want to use...!
[11:13] ---
    Huh?! Speak normal!
[11:16] ---
    Are you trying to embarrass a lady!
[11:18] ---
    I said I wanna use the restroom!
[11:21] ---
    Oh, you gotta pee?
    You shoulda just said so.
[11:25] ---
    You're despicable...!
[11:27] ---
    Just hold it.
[11:29] ---
    I can't!
[11:30] ---
    Then do it right there. I'll stand guard.
[11:33] ---
    I can't do that!
[11:35] ---
    You lousy kid...!
[11:38] ---
    I'll go do it around the corner!
[11:40] ---
    Wait! Don't go off by yourself...!
[11:43] ---
    Peek and I'll tell Daddy on you!
[11:51] ---
    Ugh...
[12:02] ---
    Where is she?
[12:04] ---
    I should probably check--
[12:06] ---
    No, she could catch me
    and cause a scene...
[12:09] ---
    Plus it'd be a pain if they spotted us...
[12:12] ---
    If rumor gets out I watched
    a kid going to the bathroom
[12:15] ---
    what'll Junko and the
    Kawaguchi brothers say...?!
[12:19] ---
    But still...!
[12:22] ---
    Hey, Kosuna...
[12:24] ---
    Yes... W-what is it?
    Another change of plan?!
[12:28] ---
    No, I got a quick question...
[12:31] ---
    What is it?
[12:32] ---
    About how long does it
    normally take a girl to pee...?
[12:41] ---
    What the heck am I doing...?
[12:47] ---
    No, I'm not into that sorta thing...!
[12:50] ---
    I have no choice, given the situation!
    The brat hasn't come back!
[12:54] ---
    So I'm concerned... Yeah, I'm worried!
[12:57] ---
    I'm not a pervert!
    Not a pervert! NOT a pervert...!
[13:06] ---
    Where the heck IS she?
[13:10] ---
    Hey, kid...!
[13:15] ---
    I'm coming over.
[13:18] ---
    Just so you know,
    I'm not into that sort of thing!
[13:22] ---
    I'm simply fulfilling the terms
    of the contract that my employer--
[13:28] ---
    Hiya!
[13:32] ---
    So sorry...
[13:38] ---
    Shimada-san knows this
    building inside and out.
[13:43] ---
    So all we hafta do is do what he says.
[13:47] ---
    So you sat back and waited
    until she was all alone?!
[13:52] ---
    Yup. This here girl's our money train.
[13:56] ---
    We couldn't let her
    get caught in a fight...
[13:58] ---
    Now to pay you back for earlier...!
[14:04] ---
    What'll it be? Get shot to death? Or...
[14:12] ---
    ...will you jump right off?!
[14:17] ---
    There's five of 'em...
    This'll be tough...
[14:21] ---
    They know more about the
    building's layout than me,
[14:24] ---
    so they can easily corner me if I run off.
[14:28] ---
    So what do I do...?
[14:34] ---
    It's worth a shot...!
[14:36] ---
    What the hell're you--
[14:40] ---
    What's that?!
[14:42] ---
    Crap! It's blinded our night-scopes...!
[14:45] ---
    Damn! I can't see...!
[14:55] ---
    Where are they?!
[15:00] ---
    It's dark and crowded and dirty!
[15:04] ---
    Quit shouting!
[15:05] ---
    OK! Here we go!
[15:07] ---
    Aah! Don't touch me there!
[15:10] ---
    D-don't be smearing my good name!
[15:12] ---
    You're terrible! I've never
    even let Daddy touch me!
[15:17] ---
    I found 'em!
[15:18] ---
    Over here!
[15:21] ---
    You idiot! What if you hit the kid?!
[15:28] ---
    Ow...!
[15:30] ---
    Look! My hair is covered
    in dirt all thanks to you!
[15:34] ---
    And what kind of rescue was that?!
[15:37] ---
    What if your violent actions
    had marred my beautiful face?!
[15:43] ---
    My face is worth way
    much more than yours!
[15:47] ---
    --Your ugly face isn't even worth
    one of my eyelashes! Got that?!
[15:53] ---
    --I haven't seen your face, though!
[15:54] ---
    --You're just some sleazeball's kid...!
[15:58] ---
    Daddy's gonna be SO mad
    when he hears that!
[16:02] ---
    Let's keep this a secret
    from Daddy, okay...?
[16:07] ---
    Damn... They've already caught up...!
[16:09] ---
    And we can't use the
    ventilation shaft now...
[16:13] ---
    You read me, Kosuna?!
[16:16] ---
    I'm here. More bathroom talk?
[16:19] ---
    No! This is about the plan!
[16:21] ---
    Don't worry! Operation Monsoon
    is proceeding smoothly!
[16:26] ---
    Monsoon is cancelled too!
    Switch to Operation Phoenix!
[16:30] ---
    Are you doing this on purpose?
[16:32] ---
    Shut up! Just do what I say!
    Operation Phoenix! Got that?!
[16:37] ---
    Yes, sir...
[16:40] ---
    There they are!
    Don't let 'em escape this time!
[16:43] ---
    Request backup!
[16:52] ---
    They're headed your way!
[16:54] ---
    Alright! Surround 'em!
[16:55] ---
    Checkmate...
[16:58] ---
    You put up quite a fight...
[17:01] ---
    You seemed pretty good, but looks
    like you were a real amateur...
[17:06] ---
    Escaping upwards was practically
    cutting off your own retreat...!
[17:12] ---
    H-he couldn't be...!
[17:14] ---
    I can't run anymore...!
[17:16] ---
    You idiot! Do you wanna be
    a greasy old man's plaything?!
[17:21] ---
    But I really can't...!
[17:26] ---
    This way!
[17:27] ---
    There's about 10 total, I guess...
[17:30] ---
    OK!
[17:34] ---
    Don't lose 'em!
[17:37] ---
    A smoke bomb!
[17:39] ---
    Ignore it! Charge!
[17:42] ---
    Wait! That's...!
[17:46] ---
    Alright! We gotcha now!
[17:49] ---
    W-what the...?!
[17:56] ---
    Let's watch our step
    when we're in a hurry...!
[18:04] ---
    Finally made it...!
[18:07] ---
    We made it to the roof...!
[18:09] ---
    Kosuna! Where are you?!
    Did you get everything set?!
[18:15] ---
    Yo...
[18:17] ---
    I thought you seemed cheeky,
[18:20] ---
    but I had no idea you were
    THE Sunabouzu handyman...
[18:22] ---
    Handyman?! I THOUGHT you seemed lame!
[18:26] ---
    Daddy should've paid
    for some REAL help! Honestly!
[18:31] ---
    Nice to meet you,
    "Night Mist" Shimada-san...
[18:34] ---
    I've heard all about you...
[18:36] ---
    I know we just met and all,
    but what do you say we end this?
[18:43] ---
    Yes, let's...
[18:46] ---
    What?!
[18:47] ---
    Drop your guns or the hostage gets it!
[18:51] ---
    Damn you, Sunabouzu...!
[18:54] ---
    She's important merchandise, right?
[18:57] ---
    If you don't want her damaged
    then leave me alive!
[19:00] ---
    Do that and I'll return the girl!
[19:02] ---
    U-unbelievable!
    Daddy is going to kill you!
[19:07] ---
    Shove it, kid! He'll never know
    if I just say I was too late!
[19:12] ---
    You're despicable!
[19:14] ---
    I'll make sure I do get my fee, though!
[19:19] ---
    He's horrible...
[19:22] ---
    The rumors were true, Sunabouzu.
[19:24] ---
    You're a cowardly,
    helpless piece of trash!
[19:28] ---
    Look who's talkin'.
[19:31] ---
    If you wanna kill her, then kill her.
[19:33] ---
    What?
[19:34] ---
    It doesn't matter to our trade
    whether she's dead or alive.
[19:40] ---
    Though I guess she'd be
    worth a little less as a corpse...
[19:45] ---
    I refuse to let an asshole
    like you have your way...
[19:49] ---
    Yeah?
[19:51] ---
    In that case...
[19:52] ---
    ...how about I make sure
    there's no corpse left?!
[20:06] ---
    Kosuna! You're late!
[20:14] ---
    He had help?!
[20:16] ---
    Ugh! Commence Operation Phoenix!
[20:19] ---
    R- Roger...!
[20:21] ---
    W-what the...?!
[20:22] ---
    What have you done?!
[20:24] ---
    I-isn't this a little TOO intense?!
[20:27] ---
    Eh?! I set it up just like you said!
    Two things of TNT in 10 spots!
[20:33] ---
    Y-you imbecile! That's Operation Tornado!
    I said Operation Phoenix!
[20:52] ---
    That was close...!
    Saved in the nick of time!
[20:55] ---
    Handymen must be pretty awesome
    if they have stuff like this...!
[20:59] ---
    I guess...
[21:01] ---
    But the situation
    isn't quite that good...
[21:06] ---
    We're over the weight limit
    and losing altitude fast...!
[21:10] ---
    Eh?!
[21:11] ---
    You have some nerve! Get off, you!
[21:15] ---
    Screw you! You went too far!
    I had no idea you had help...!
[21:21] ---
    Surprised?! The best are always
    two or three steps ahead...!
[21:26] ---
    Ha! You screwed up plenty at the end...!
[21:29] ---
    Say what?!
[21:30] ---
    Hey, stop shaking it!
[21:32] ---
    Damn you! You're a dead man!
[21:35] ---
    What do you think you're--
[21:36] ---
    Quit shaking it! We're falling!
[21:42] ---
    M- Master...!
[21:45] ---
    We're flying!
[21:47] ---
    And so the girl was safely rescued
[21:50] ---
    from the hands of
    the terrible kidnappers...
[21:58] ---
    Are you all right, Master?
[22:01] ---
    I made sure I got my share of
    our earnings before it got pocketed.
[22:07] ---
    This is all you get...
[22:10] ---
    Well, I have work to do...!
[22:39] ---
    One circle... Two circles...
[22:47] ---
    One more big circle...
[22:51] ---
    A billowing raincoat...
    (It's a cape!)

[22:55] ---
    Oh, let's not forget
    the sunshade now...

[23:00] ---
    (His heart is pitch black!
    His heart is pitch black!)

[23:06] ---
    Give him a Winchester and
    suddenly you have Sunabouzu!

[23:22] ---
    He'll run again
    today! (Run again)

[23:25] ---
    Through the desert!
    (Even if forced to do jobs)

[23:29] ---
    He'll go forth again tomorrow!
    (Go forth again)

[23:33] ---
    (Until he gets the Boobie Lady)
[23:35] ---
    (Until he gets the Boobie Lady)
[23:37] ---
    (Until he gets the Boobie Lady!)
[23:39] ---
    He'll rush on ahead, life
    on the line! Rush on ahead!

[23:57] ---
    Yo! Ghost of the Desert, Sunabouzu here!
[23:58] ---
    -- Why's it all flat chests lately?!
    --Don't worry! I'll have one in 5 years!
[24:02] ---
    So will I!
[24:03] ---
    --Mine'll be bigger!
    --Will not!
[24:05] ---
    Five years?! I need boobies NOW!
[24:07] ---
    On the next Sunabouzu-
    "Ideality and Reality"
[24:09] ---
    Miss it and it'll be no-boob city!
