    "Sunabouzu - Desert Punk"
[01:35] ---
    The Great Kanto Desert.
[01:37] ---
    Sunabozu and Kosuna are on
    their way home after a job well done...
[01:47] ---
    Oh. There're homeless
    children out here...
[01:52] ---
    They're strandees.
[01:54] ---
    Do you suppose he's their guardian?
[01:57] ---
    Probably.
[01:59] ---
    W-water...
[02:03] ---
    Let's go.
[02:04] ---
    Eh?!
[02:05] ---
    W-wait! We're not helping them?!
[02:08] ---
    They're children!
[02:10] ---
    Dumbass!
[02:11] ---
    We're on the verge of being stranded too,
    thanks to that magnetic storm!
[02:16] ---
    Help 'em if you wanna die too.
[02:18] ---
    But don't blame me...
[02:28] ---
    Sister...
[02:30] ---
    Don't talk... You'll only die sooner...
[02:42] ---
    Good thing there was a town nearby...!
[02:47] ---
    Is my intuition great or what?!
[02:48] ---
    Can't always rely on machines
    if you wanna survive in this desert!
[02:53] ---
    You're surprisingly nice!
[02:55] ---
    Huh?
[02:56] ---
    After all, you turned right around
    the instant you found the town...
[03:01] ---
    To help them, right?
[03:02] ---
    Yep. Kids like them sell for quite a bit!
[03:06] ---
    Eh?! Sell?!
[03:08] ---
    What were you thinking?
[03:10] ---
    Saving a life means a reward.
    If not their money, then their body.
[03:14] ---
    It's only natural.
[03:17] ---
    Ah, I see. You're so cool...
[03:22] ---
    I've never once lost a
    pick-up-strewn-money contest!
[03:25] ---
    Impressive, Master!
[03:29] ---
    Another strandee.
[03:31] ---
    Huh...? He's with those kids!
[03:31] ---
    "Ideality and Reality"
[03:37] ---
    A slight case of dehydration...
[03:40] ---
    Still, this guy's really built...!
[03:43] ---
    Not to mention good-looking...
[03:45] ---
    I bet he'd--
[03:48] ---
    Are we selling him?
[03:50] ---
    How're they?
[03:52] ---
    It looks like they're
    going to be just fine.
[03:54] ---
    Hey, get up!
[03:56] ---
    Hey, you wanna die?!
[03:59] ---
    Here's some water.
[04:01] ---
    Whoopsies!
[04:07] ---
    "Labor Contract"
[04:07] ---
    Hold your horses. First you sign this.
[04:14] ---
    I'm saved...!
[04:16] ---
    Wonderful!
[04:17] ---
    Now pay the million yen
    for saving your life.
[04:22] ---
    Like I really have that kind of money.
[04:24] ---
    Then you'll just have to earn it...
[04:28] ---
    You were probably trying to make
    some money off of those kids too,
[04:31] ---
    but I guess you screwed up...
[04:33] ---
    I'd never do that!
[04:35] ---
    I did lose my direction in
    the magnetic storm two days ago
[04:39] ---
    and wound up in big trouble, but...
[04:41] ---
    But...
[04:45] ---
    When I saw these kids, I just
    couldn't bear to NOT help them...
[04:59] ---
    What?
[05:00] ---
    Don't tell me you actually helped someone
[05:03] ---
    without care for profit or loss?
[05:05] ---
    Yeah... Is that weird?
[05:08] ---
    Yes!
[05:10] ---
    You can't survive in this hellish desert
    thinking creepy crap like that!
[05:18] ---
    --It's always like this!
[05:18] ---
    --You're always doing this, dumbass?!
[05:21] ---
    Ahh, screw this! How about the brats?!
[05:24] ---
    They got nothing.
[05:26] ---
    We'll just hafta sell 'em!
[05:28] ---
    H-hey!
[05:30] ---
    What...?!
[05:31] ---
    I'll pay for the children too!
    Just give them their freedom!
[05:40] ---
    Suit yourself, moron.
[05:46] ---
    It certainly was nice to have
    the IOUs signed without any trouble...!
[05:52] ---
    Now you're officially mine...
[05:56] ---
    Run and you'll be a wanted man!
[05:59] ---
    I'd never run! I WILL pay you back!
[06:10] ---
    Eat up.
[06:11] ---
    Eh? But...
[06:14] ---
    Stop...!
[06:16] ---
    It's all right.
    I don't feel like eating...
[06:19] ---
    Sheesh...
[06:21] ---
    Come to think of it,
    I still don't know your names...
[06:24] ---
    Oh, I'm Asari! My sister is Shijimi!
[06:29] ---
    I'm Kaido Masaru. Nice to meet you!
[06:41] ---
    "Personnel Bazaar"
[06:42] ---
    No! Father...!
[06:44] ---
    I'm sorry, Tsuyuko...!
[06:46] ---
    I promise I'll be back
    once I've saved enough money...!
[06:49] ---
    Honey...! Honey...!
[06:51] ---
    N- Norio...!
[06:52] ---
    Here's your money!
[06:54] ---
    No! No...! Give Dad back...!
[06:57] ---
    Ooh, look at 'em go!
[07:00] ---
    How sad...!
[07:02] ---
    You're in a position
    to pity other people?
[07:08] ---
    This is one fine man!
[07:10] ---
    Isn't he, though?! Isn't he, though?!
[07:12] ---
    Just look at these muscles!
[07:15] ---
    And these straight teeth!
[07:16] ---
    They could withstand 10 years
    of ultra-intensive labor!
[07:20] ---
    Oh! So, how much?!
[07:23] ---
    1.5 million...
[07:25] ---
    "Bargain!!"
[07:25] ---
    "Now's your chance!!"
[07:25] ---
    ...and 105 yen!
[07:27] ---
    Too much!
[07:27] ---
    Idiot!
[07:27] ---
    "Ultra Intensive Labor- Looking
    for young and healthy men!"
[07:29] ---
    Ooh!
[07:35] ---
    I specialize in pretty little girls...
[07:41] ---
    Things certainly are tough...
[07:43] ---
    Damn...!
[07:46] ---
    What do you say we lower the price?
[07:48] ---
    Never! I want 1,500,105 yen!
    I absolutely want it!
[07:53] ---
    Bastard...!
[07:55] ---
    What're you laughin' at?!
[07:56] ---
    Who do you think is
    suffering 'cause of you?!
[07:59] ---
    You damn greedmonger...!
[08:03] ---
    You want money that badly?!
[08:04] ---
    Duh!
[08:06] ---
    Even if it means trampling
    the weak and the poor?!
[08:08] ---
    Duh!
[08:14] ---
    What's with you?!
    What're you trying to do?
[08:18] ---
    You sacrifice yourself
    to try and save some kids
[08:20] ---
    by giving them your food
    and spoutin' unprofitable crap...
[08:26] ---
    I can't help it. That's just how I am.
[08:32] ---
    Fine. Just looking at you pisses me off,
    so let me fill you in.
[08:37] ---
    A long time ago, some people
    tried to create a society
[08:42] ---
    where everyone helped each
    other and lived happily.
[08:46] ---
    And what happened to
    the world as a result?
[08:49] ---
    A bunch of scum mistakenly
    felt they had gotten stronger...
[08:52] ---
    ...and you know what they
    did to this planet, right?
[08:58] ---
    Weren't the ones who made
    this hellhole of a desert
[09:01] ---
    the weaklings that you love oh-so-much?
[09:04] ---
    You and wusses who only know
    how to preach about idealism
[09:10] ---
    give off the exact same stench.
[09:14] ---
    M- Master...!
[09:17] ---
    Stop, you brats!
[09:19] ---
    Stop already!
[09:20] ---
    If only they'd stop for 'em...
[09:25] ---
    Huh?
[09:26] ---
    Hold it!
[09:28] ---
    Do you honestly think
    you can beat that many?!
[09:31] ---
    Just leave 'em be...!
[09:34] ---
    Shijimi!
[09:37] ---
    Damn brat...!
[09:40] ---
    Shijimi...!
[09:42] ---
    Thought you could get away, huh?!
[09:44] ---
    Let go!
[09:47] ---
    Let go!
[09:52] ---
    Hey, now! What can you do unarmed?!
[09:56] ---
    We can't let you
    get injured now, can we?!
[10:03] ---
    Could you let me have
    my way just this once?!
[10:06] ---
    I don't wish to hurt
    the ones who saved me.
[10:09] ---
    --Eep...!
[10:09] ---
    --Eep...!
[10:11] ---
    I don't need you to tell me now...
[10:13] ---
    I know all too well that
    what I do is extremely pointless...
[10:19] ---
    That's why I've been
    made fun of everywhere I go...
[10:23] ---
    That's why I have no money
    and no girlfriend...
[10:27] ---
    But even so...!
[10:32] ---
    S-such forcefulness...
    I was scared senseless.
[10:38] ---
    Those eyes...
[10:45] ---
    I know...!
[10:46] ---
    Yes...!
[10:48] ---
    What're you doing?!
[10:49] ---
    You with these brats?!
[10:51] ---
    I know...!
[10:56] ---
    I'm sad, but...
[10:58] ---
    But...!
[11:00] ---
    I have no choice...
[11:03] ---
    It's the only way I'm able to live...!
[11:07] ---
    I don't have a choice...!
[11:28] ---
    I-incredible...!
[11:30] ---
    I didn't know he was that strong...!
[11:33] ---
    Wouldn't we be in trouble
    if we made him mad too...?!
[11:40] ---
    You'll pay for this!
[11:47] ---
    Mister!
[11:52] ---
    That was quite an interesting
    performance you gave...
[11:56] ---
    You're good.
[12:00] ---
    Whoops! That's close enough!
[12:03] ---
    So you're a soldier, huh...
[12:05] ---
    Eh?!
[12:06] ---
    A pretty elite one, too.
[12:08] ---
    Like the ones that sneak around
    the desert in small numbers...
[12:12] ---
    I've seen 'em only once before,
    in the very depths of the desert...
[12:17] ---
    I watched a bandit gang
    somewhat famous for its cruelty
[12:21] ---
    get wiped out instantly by a strange
    armed group I'd never seen before...
[12:26] ---
    It was no ordinary military unit...
[12:30] ---
    ...and it wasn't
    another bandit gang, either.
[12:33] ---
    They made no wasted movements,
    accomplished their goal,
[12:37] ---
    and then left like the wind,
    leaving no traces behind...
[12:41] ---
    The techniques they used...
[12:44] ---
    ...were exactly like
    the ones you used just now.
[12:49] ---
    It's called like martial arts
    or something, right?
[12:52] ---
    What's that?
[12:54] ---
    A killing technique passed down
    from before the Dark Age, I hear.
[13:00] ---
    Can't blame you for not knowin'
    about it. It did die out long ago.
[13:05] ---
    But I guess it survived
    just fine in the Oasis...
[13:10] ---
    in the military.
[13:12] ---
    Looks like I hit it on the nose.
[13:16] ---
    It finally adds up.
[13:18] ---
    Supposedly, most Oasis soldiers
    are born and bred in the Oasis...
[13:23] ---
    ...including you, right?
[13:25] ---
    Wow!
[13:26] ---
    You're from the Oasis!
[13:29] ---
    No wonder you're
    so na ve about everything...
[13:32] ---
    So, what is an Oasis soldier
    doing in a place like this?
[13:40] ---
    You're pretty smart.
[13:43] ---
    And you seem to know the score.
[13:45] ---
    Which is why people
    all over are out to get me.
[13:49] ---
    I... can't live shrewdly like you do...
[14:00] ---
    How dare you...!
[14:01] ---
    How dare you hurt my friends...!
[14:04] ---
    Yikes, he's those guys' friend?!
[14:07] ---
    W-what now?!
[14:13] ---
    OK, Masaru-kun! Go get him!
[14:17] ---
    Isn't that the opposite of
    what you were just saying?!
[14:20] ---
    You're the only one
    who can protect the runts!
[14:27] ---
    Everything I always thought
    was right since I was born
[14:32] ---
    seems like crap now that
    I've lost things to believe in...!
[14:39] ---
    That's why I'm here, doing this now!
[14:46] ---
    To find the path meant for me!
[15:06] ---
    Whoa...!
[15:07] ---
    Scary. So that's what
    true martial arts are...
[15:10] ---
    He's mine!
[15:12] ---
    I found him first!
[15:13] ---
    I want him...!
[15:21] ---
    Alright! Nicely done!
[15:24] ---
    You're suddenly cheerful.
[15:27] ---
    A little...!
[15:30] ---
    You're agonizing over something stupid,
    you know that?
[15:34] ---
    How so?
[15:35] ---
    If there's something you
    wanna believe in, just do it.
[15:39] ---
    Heh.
[15:40] ---
    You're the one who snubbed
    what I do from the very start.
[15:44] ---
    I didn't say NOT to do it;
    I just said I really hate it.
[15:50] ---
    I dunno what your story is,
[15:52] ---
    but you really will die out here
    if you keep moping around.
[15:59] ---
    OK! I have 1.5 million!
    Any other takers?!
[16:02] ---
    1.6!
[16:04] ---
    1.6 million! How generous of you, sir!
[16:08] ---
    Are there any others?!
[16:09] ---
    1.8 million!
[16:11] ---
    Oh, man...!
[16:12] ---
    Your price sure has skyrocketed...
[16:16] ---
    They all saw that fight earlier.
[16:21] ---
    Don't you care, Masaru-san?
[16:24] ---
    I have no choice. A promise is a promise.
[16:27] ---
    Question!
[16:29] ---
    Yes?
[16:30] ---
    You rescued those children
    because you want to help the weak...
[16:36] ---
    ...but you can't take
    care of them forever, right?
[16:41] ---
    I suppose not...
[16:43] ---
    Without you,
    those weak children will die.
[16:47] ---
    But if someone like my master saved them,
[16:50] ---
    although traumatic from their perspective,
[16:56] ---
    they'd still be able to live.
[16:58] ---
    Just by being alive, they'd have
    a chance- or time- to get stronger.
[17:05] ---
    Am I wrong, Master?!
[17:08] ---
    No, I haven't really put that
    much thought into it or anything...
[17:12] ---
    In the end, aren't you simply
    satisfying your own empowered ego
[17:17] ---
    and hindering the weak from growing
    stronger by spoiling them more?!
[17:25] ---
    Yeah!
[17:26] ---
    I almost fell into a
    soft way of thinking myself,
[17:30] ---
    but my master's words earlier saved me!
[17:33] ---
    Umm, no, I was just insulting you...
[17:40] ---
    Nah, he knows all about that.
    Or else he wouldn't be distraught.
[17:45] ---
    But...!
[17:50] ---
    So this is the Great Kanto Desert...
[17:52] ---
    Yup.
[17:53] ---
    Still...
[17:56] ---
    I AM going to look for my path,
    after all...
[18:02] ---
    There're people who want
    to grow strong but can't.
[18:06] ---
    There're others who'll die
    before they get a chance to.
[18:09] ---
    I'm going to help them.
    In an even better way...
[18:15] ---
    Alright! I'll pay 2 million!
[18:17] ---
    OK! We've reached the big 2-mill!
[18:20] ---
    --Any others?!
[18:20] ---
    --Huh? Come to think of
    it, where are those kids?
[18:23] ---
    Freeze right there! Move and you're dead!
[18:27] ---
    We ain't done nothin'...!
[18:29] ---
    Shut up! You'll have time
    to talk at the station!
[18:32] ---
    What's the charge?!
[18:33] ---
    Fraud, theft, and murder!
[18:36] ---
    Huh?!
[18:36] ---
    And...
[18:38] ---
    ...aggravated assault against
    the Water Station ♪3 Youth Group!
[18:43] ---
    Eh?! That was a youth group...?!
[18:47] ---
    Master...
[18:50] ---
    Damn those brats...!
[18:53] ---
    Unbelievable... To think
    those two were actually--
[18:56] ---
    --wanted thieves...
[19:00] ---
    They'd pretend to be lost and
    get travelers to pick 'em up,
[19:00] ---
    "WANTED"
[19:03] ---
    then they'd steal all their
    money, food, and water...!
[19:06] ---
    Talk about some shitty kids!
[19:09] ---
    They certainly fooled us...
[19:12] ---
    And to top it off,
[19:14] ---
    the cops think we're in cahoots with them...!
[19:18] ---
    We DID nearly kill the youth group
    that tried to apprehend them...
[19:28] ---
    For three days' time, the three
    were interrogated most violently.
[19:33] ---
    Incredibly so...!
[19:40] ---
    Whee! Spinny, spinny! Spinny, spinny!
[19:44] ---
    However!
[19:46] ---
    Upon learning of Masaru's background,
[19:48] ---
    the interrogator's attitude
    completely changed
[19:51] ---
    and the three were acquitted and released.
[19:58] ---
    I still can't believe it...
[20:01] ---
    Even little kids like them
    have to resort to crime
[20:06] ---
    to survive in the Great Kanto Desert...
[20:10] ---
    How sad... It truly is Hell!
[20:14] ---
    It's your fault! It's all because
    you wanted to help people...!
[20:20] ---
    W-what's with you?!
[20:21] ---
    I'm glad we're free and all...
[20:23] ---
    ...but the money those brats stole,
    the youth group's medical fees...
[20:29] ---
    I wound up having to pay
    for all of it myself...!
[20:32] ---
    That's because you're my owner...!
[20:35] ---
    And I lost my secret base
    just the other day, too...!
[20:40] ---
    And being saved by you even though
    you're entirely to blame
[20:45] ---
    makes no sense at all...!
[20:47] ---
    What the hell?! It's your
    fault for being so damn greedy!
[21:01] ---
    How'd it go?!
[21:02] ---
    Just peachy!
[21:03] ---
    Great! So we got 2 million yen?!
[21:07] ---
    No, half a million.
[21:08] ---
    Eh?! Why did you lower the price?
[21:10] ---
    'Cause 2 million can't possibly
    make up for our losses...!
[21:16] ---
    I take it you thought of
    something even better...
[21:21] ---
    Wanna hear it?!
[21:22] ---
    Eh?! You sold him to a homo?!
[21:28] ---
    I wish you could've seen his face...!
[21:30] ---
    What do you eat to come up
    with such cruel ideas...?
[21:34] ---
    I bet that hardhead'll
    soften up a little now!
[21:38] ---
    I told him this is
    another way of helping people!
[21:42] ---
    He's so going to hate us...!
[21:50] ---
    And so, on their way home...
[21:53] ---
