"Sunabouzu - Desert Punk"
[01:41] ---
Matsunami-san!
[01:48] ---
The winch worked like a charm!
[01:57] ---
Just what I'd expect
from a Matsunami Custom!
[02:05] ---
Matsunami-san!
[02:19] ---
Matsunami-san!
[02:30] ---
I'm sorry...
[02:32] ---
Taiko-san...
[02:37] ---
"Doubt and Ambition"
[02:40] ---
Therefore...
[02:42] ---
...we'd like to hire you all
to protect our secret laboratory.
[02:47] ---
Laboratory?
[02:48] ---
Don't tell me we're gonna
be decoys again like last time...
[02:52] ---
Don't worry. This time it
is a genuine security detail.
[02:57] ---
And because it is a critical RHG site,
[03:00] ---
we'd like your assistance.
[03:03] ---
Ain't no reason to say no
when you put it like that!
[03:07] ---
You can count on us, Natsu-ne!
[03:09] ---
Koizumi-san.
[03:12] ---
Koizumi-san?
[03:14] ---
Y-yes?!
[03:15] ---
Can we count on you as well?
[03:18] ---
Eh? For what?
[03:19] ---
As I said, you'll be
protecting the laboratory.
[03:23] ---
R-right! No problem!
[03:30] ---
Was one hell of a fire!
[03:32] ---
Think it was the welding gas?
[03:34] ---
There was nitro lying around, too...
[03:39] ---
Oh, that reminds me.
I got an interesting job.
[03:45] ---
It was an order to make a
rocket winch just like ol' Kanta's.
[03:53] ---
Taiko-san!
[03:55] ---
Here you are!
[04:00] ---
Only three of Matsunami-san's
children survived,
[04:03] ---
but it looks like they're going
to be sold to slave traders
[04:07] ---
to pay for the damages
and their own medical costs...
[04:11] ---
I feel so bad for the kids...
[04:13] ---
They're lucky they didn't
get tossed into the desert...
[04:19] ---
What?
[04:21] ---
Are you all right, Taiko-san?
[04:23] ---
Me?
[04:24] ---
You don't seem in very high spirits...
[04:29] ---
Idiot! I never expected a dimwit
like you to worry about me!
[04:34] ---
I- I'm sorry!
[04:36] ---
So, what do you want?
[04:37] ---
Oh, they said we're leaving soon!
[04:40] ---
Got it.
[04:43] ---
Looks like that eager beaver
ain't here today.
[04:46] ---
You mean Kaido?
[04:48] ---
He's already got a job at the lab
guardin' old man Kaizuka.
[04:55] ---
What's the matter, Taiko-chan?
You don't seem too cheery...
[05:00] ---
Don't worry!
[05:02] ---
We'll be at the lab in no time
flat, just like last time!
[05:06] ---
That's not it...
[05:07] ---
What's the deal? This ain't like you.
[05:10] ---
Umm...
[05:11] ---
What do you suppose old Kaizuka
is working on at his lab?
[05:16] ---
Probably one of them awesome
Dark Age machine guns, you know?
[05:21] ---
Like maybe the legendary M134 Minigun?!
[05:25] ---
Get with the program.
[05:28] ---
Old Kaizuka made a huge fortune
off of that "Game of Life."
[05:33] ---
Which means...
[05:35] ---
Means?
[05:36] ---
What he's making at the lab is...
"The Game of Eccentric Destiny"!
[05:41] ---
That's gotta be it!
[05:43] ---
It's a game three times more
exciting than the "Game of Life"!
[05:49] ---
Let's all play it together!
[05:53] ---
What is this?
[05:55] ---
Wow!
[05:56] ---
W-whoa!
[06:14] ---
The Great Kanto Crater.
[06:17] ---
A giant depression born
from the tectonic activity
[06:19] ---
that took place
at the end of the Dark Age.
[06:24] ---
Around 10 kilometers in diameter
and 1000 meters below sea level...
[06:29] ---
Also known as "Hell's Abaddon".
[06:33] ---
Which makes it the perfect
location for a secret laboratory.
[06:38] ---
Everyone ready?!
[06:40] ---
Yes!
[06:40] ---
Leave it to us!
[06:42] ---
Say, did Amagumo not come this time?
[06:45] ---
He declined. Said this kind
of work isn't worth it...
[06:49] ---
What a surprise.
[06:50] ---
Well, let's go, everyone!
[06:52] ---
--Right!
[06:52] ---
--Right!
[06:54] ---
Oh, look.
[06:56] ---
That flat-chested girl's still at it!
[06:59] ---
Flat chest? Who?
[07:02] ---
The Sunabozu's old student.
[07:04] ---
Never heard of her.
[07:05] ---
She's no big deal.
Anyways, did word come in?
[07:09] ---
Yeah. The operation begins in 12 hours.
[07:13] ---
12 hours...
[07:15] ---
So that's when Flatty's
short life will come to an end.
[07:20] ---
Ending life without
ever having a chest...
[07:25] ---
Poor thing.
[07:29] ---
We've gone pretty far down...
[07:32] ---
We still not at the bottom?
[07:37] ---
Hey, now! You alright, Mitsuru?!
[07:40] ---
I- I'm fine!
[07:42] ---
Want us to carry some stuff?
[07:44] ---
No! I... want to be able
to take care of myself!
[07:51] ---
I see...
[07:52] ---
I want to be able
to take care of myself!
[07:57] ---
Will you get real?!
[07:59] ---
But I'm upset
[08:01] ---
I wasn't able to clean up
my own mess back there!
[08:05] ---
This kid's... just like I was...
[08:09] ---
No! That's not true!
[08:12] ---
Come on! Show some more effort
if you're gonna say that!
[08:15] ---
R-right! This is nothing at all!
[08:20] ---
Yeah, right.
[08:22] ---
I- I saw Kaido-san the other day
and realized I need to work harder...
[08:28] ---
Huh? If you like that eager moron so much,
[08:32] ---
why not be his pupil?
[08:33] ---
N-no! I just meant-
[08:38] ---
We understand, Mitsuru!
You like Taiko-chan!
[08:42] ---
--Eh? Eh?!
[08:43] ---
--Eh?!
[08:45] ---
Bull's-eye?!
[08:46] ---
G-get serious!
[08:48] ---
This idiot isn't any help at all
when he's most needed!
[08:51] ---
I- I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
[08:54] ---
Let's get a move-on.
[08:55] ---
What's wrong?
[08:59] ---
What the...?
[09:01] ---
Sure it ain't just a sandstorm?
[09:04] ---
See anything on your monitor, Taiko-chan?
[09:10] ---
No good. It's just too far...
[09:14] ---
I have a bad feeling about this.
Let's move on ahead!
[09:17] ---
Right!
[09:44] ---
Well, Tanigawa-kun?
[09:47] ---
Oh, Guildhead!
[09:50] ---
Appears to be going well.
[09:52] ---
The cultivation should be complete
after about two more weeks!
[09:56] ---
So, counting the already-completed 00 Series,
[10:00] ---
we'll have 18 total.
[10:03] ---
The 01 Series uses that data,
[10:06] ---
so they'll be even more powered up!
[10:10] ---
Still, seeing all these
Dark Age weapons lined up like this
[10:15] ---
isn't a pleasant sight at all...
[10:18] ---
Kaido-kun. I know what you want to say.
[10:21] ---
But if we're to topple the government
that so atrociously oppresses
[10:25] ---
the denizens of the Great Kanto Desert,
[10:29] ---
we will need these guardians' help.
[10:32] ---
I realize that, but...
[10:34] ---
We'll fight fire with fire.
[10:37] ---
And once all has been accomplished,
[10:41] ---
I, together with these guardians,
will leave the center stage of history!
[10:47] ---
Kaido-kun!
[10:50] ---
Tanigawa-kun!
[10:52] ---
Once I do, you'll be the leading
characters of the Great Kanto Desert!
[10:56] ---
Use your youthful vigor and zeal
[10:59] ---
to create a new Great Kanto Desert,
free of starvation and poverty!
[11:08] ---
Understood! Not even
a single ant will get near!
[11:12] ---
And I'll speed up the development
of the specialized equipment!
[11:15] ---
Let's go! Let's do it! Fight!
[11:18] ---
Yeah! All right!
[11:23] ---
Each and every one is
working so diligently.
[11:30] ---
It would've been even better
if he was alive...
[11:35] ---
Though I guess he wasn't the kind
to be so easily controlled...
[11:49] ---
So that's their laboratory?
[11:51] ---
I sent Ayukawa and Samesuga
to scope it out.
[11:54] ---
They should be reporting soon.
[12:10] ---
One on the east...
[12:12] ---
One on the west...
[12:14] ---
And...
[12:16] ---
...one human. He's giving them orders.
[12:21] ---
Is this when one should laugh?
[12:24] ---
No, it's just that both we and
they possess superhuman strength,
[12:29] ---
yet we're forced to
rely on humans in the end.
[12:33] ---
As Master might put it:
[12:35] ---
"You ain't never gonna be on
the front lines like that."
[12:40] ---
Shall we go?
[12:42] ---
Yes.
[12:43] ---
They've gotten smarter?
[12:46] ---
Yes.
[12:47] ---
Didn't you think so when you fought
the robot soldier the other day?
[12:53] ---
Yeah...
[12:54] ---
It did seem to act smarter
[12:57] ---
than the guy we fought half a year ago.
[13:00] ---
Their intelligence level
has definitely improved.
[13:04] ---
Come to think of it, he did
say "Master" or something...
[13:08] ---
So there's someone
teaching 'em how to fight?!
[13:11] ---
A robot master?
[13:13] ---
Like this?!
[13:17] ---
It's most likely
a vile and crafty human
[13:20] ---
with extensive combat experience
and an arsenal of secret techniques.
[13:25] ---
I think that's who's
instructing them now.
[13:29] ---
Vile and crafty?
[13:32] ---
I see. Only three in the front.
[13:36] ---
So the factionist scum still haven't
gotten to mass production yet...
[13:41] ---
I believe now is the time to strike.
[13:44] ---
I am of the same opinion.
[13:46] ---
No. We'll wait a little more.
[13:48] ---
But...
[13:49] ---
Your master says likewise.
[13:52] ---
It is an honor to
have you come all this way!
[13:56] ---
The master himself will be
taking command this time!
[13:59] ---
There are 12 of you!
Failure will not be tolerated!
[14:06] ---
Man... Not only is it hard to
walk with the rubble and debris...
[14:11] ---
It's hard to breathe, too...
[14:13] ---
Don't give up. We're almost there.
[14:15] ---
Anyways, Taiko-chan.
[14:17] ---
Yes?
[14:17] ---
You should really
do somethin' about that.
[14:23] ---
They all got... such heavy equipment...
[14:26] ---
but don't slow down at all...
[14:34] ---
Too slow!
[14:37] ---
Idiot! Dumbass! Nitwit! If I'd been
a bandit, you'd be dead by now!
[14:41] ---
I- I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
[14:44] ---
C'mon! C'mon! Strip! Strip!
[14:46] ---
Wearin' all this stuff like a twerp!
[14:49] ---
What are you doing, Taiko-san?!
[14:50] ---
C'mon! The TNT and C4, too!
Hand it all over!
[14:53] ---
It's all useless in your hands!
[14:56] ---
Strip down to your underwear!
[14:59] ---
--I'm gonna be raped!
[15:01] ---
--Dumbass!
[15:03] ---
25 bullets. One liter of water.
[15:07] ---
Now go back to the truck!
[15:09] ---
But... I...
[15:10] ---
Just do it!
[15:12] ---
Taiko-san, I like-
[15:14] ---
Shut it!
[15:17] ---
If you care so much, then make it
back alive and out of our way!
[15:40] ---
Sorry for the delay!
[15:44] ---
Oh? What happened to Mitsuru?
[15:46] ---
I gave that bum the bare essentials
[15:50] ---
and sent him back to the truck!
[15:52] ---
Talk about strict!
[15:53] ---
You bet!
[15:54] ---
I got no sympathy for
guys who can't wipe their own ass!
[15:57] ---
You sure it ain't just "tough love"?!
[16:01] ---
N-No!
[16:02] ---
Wait!
[16:03] ---
What's that?!
[16:07] ---
What the...?
[16:09] ---
I've never seen anything like it...
[16:12] ---
It's beautiful...
[16:17] ---
Huh?
[16:20] ---
What was that?
[16:21] ---
An explosion?
[16:22] ---
It's from the valley floor!
[16:24] ---
The lab is down there!
[16:31] ---
The lab is... on fire!
[16:40] ---
Where's the enemy?!
[16:42] ---
Around the other side!
[16:43] ---
They could have
invisibility equipment again!
[16:46] ---
Watch your back!
[16:48] ---
Natsuko-san...!
[16:50] ---
Isn't he-
[16:52] ---
No doubt about it! It's a guardian!
[16:55] ---
That monster you and Kanta
fought at the skeleton city?
[17:00] ---
There's more!
[17:01] ---
W-what the heck?!
[17:03] ---
What are surviving monsters
of the Dark Age doing here?!
[17:10] ---
It couldn't be! Was old man
Kaizuka's research here actually-
[17:14] ---
That's right.
[17:15] ---
He's mass-producing these guardians
to take on the robot soldiers.
[17:21] ---
Say what?!
[17:23] ---
So we were called here
to protect some monsters?!
[17:30] ---
Don't you understand?
[17:31] ---
The only way to fight those monsters
is to get monsters of our own!
[17:37] ---
B-but...!
[17:42] ---
Look out, Natsuko!
[17:44] ---
Heavy artillery fire!
88-millimeter class!
[17:53] ---
Look over there!
[18:00] ---
Is that...?!
[18:02] ---
No doubt about it!
[18:03] ---
I-it's the Kong!
[18:08] ---
Kong?
[18:09] ---
A hover-tank we
and Kanta once destroyed.
[18:13] ---
But what's it doing here?!
[18:14] ---
Hell if I know!
[18:40] ---
Shit...! Run!
[18:45] ---
So that's what that dust cloud
was when we went down the crater!
[18:49] ---
We don't stand a chance
against that monster!
[18:52] ---
Even if it is a Dark Age relic,
a direct hit from its cannon would be-
[18:59] ---
We're history if we don't do somethin'!
[19:00] ---
Kaizuka-san must survive!
[19:06] ---
Natsuko?!
[19:08] ---
You're just running to your death!
[19:11] ---
Come back, Natsuko!
[19:13] ---
I'm going, too!
[19:15] ---
T- T- Taiko-chan?!
[19:21] ---
Natsuko-san!
[19:29] ---
Natsuko-san!
[19:35] ---
This floor's falling apart...
[19:38] ---
Where's Natsuko-san?!
[19:39] ---
Hey! Taiko-chan!
[19:43] ---
Man, that sucked...
[19:47] ---
These... look like underground ruins...
[19:51] ---
So... where's Natsuko?
[19:52] ---
I dunno where she went...
[20:05] ---
T-that's-
[20:08] ---
A guardian?!
[20:10] ---
Aki-niichan!
[20:12] ---
S-should we just shoot it?!
[20:20] ---
The Kong?!
[20:21] ---
All the way in here?!
[20:24] ---
Oh, you're still alive!
[20:27] ---
You sure are stubborn, Flatty.
[20:29] ---
That voice...!
[20:38] ---
Asagiri Junko! Why are you-
[20:43] ---
Sorry! I made an agreement with him.
[20:46] ---
I'm here to kill old man Kaizuka
[20:50] ---
and all the members of this lab!
[20:52] ---
"Him"?
[20:53] ---
Bitch!
[20:55] ---
Like hell you will!
[20:59] ---
What the...?!
[21:00] ---
Where'd the shots come from?!
[21:01] ---
W-who's there?! Who's there?!
[21:07] ---
B- Bro...!
[21:08] ---
What?
[21:13] ---
What?!
[21:14] ---
W-when did they-
[21:16] ---
W-w-we're surrounded!
[21:22] ---
You see? Now why don't you
drop the guns and surrender?!
[21:28] ---
B- Bro...!
[21:32] ---
No!
[21:37] ---
What the...?!
[21:38] ---
Don't tell me they're-
[21:46] ---
Balloons?
[21:47] ---
How did you know, Taiko-chan?!
[21:50] ---
Their feet.
[21:51] ---
Their feet?
[21:53] ---
They were standing on weak concrete,
[21:55] ---
but there were no cracks at their feet.
[22:00] ---
Nice assessment of the situation, Kosuna.
[22:04] ---
I guess you've matured a bit
[22:07] ---
if you could see through my balloons.
[22:10] ---
That voice...!
[22:14] ---
I-it can't be!
[22:20] ---
This is the perfect time...
[22:21] ---
"TO BE CONCLUDED NEXT EPISODE"
[22:22] ---
...to end this episode!
[22:24] ---
[23:55] ---
--Ghost of the Desert, Sunabozu here!
--Skilled Beauty Kosuna here!
[23:57] ---
Master! Why are you showing up now?
[23:59] ---
Moron! I'll always be the main character!
[24:02] ---
No fair! This is the final preview, too!
[24:03] ---
--Which is why I'm doing it!
--No, me!
[24:05] ---
--Anyways, the next episode
