"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!
