    "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
[02:30] ---
    "Sniping and Footsteps"
[02:45] ---
    The latest personal rocket winch!
[02:48] ---
    The latest miniature, lightweight cooler!
[02:51] ---
    A brand new Type Zero Helmet and
    high-composite carbon sunshade!
[02:55] ---
    With aramid cover!
[02:57] ---
    Reinforced aramid cape!
[02:59] ---
    Aramid knickerbockers! Aramid leggings!
[03:03] ---
    My Winchester, back from the shop!
[03:07] ---
    Tube magazine extension, allowing
    for one extra shot per load!
[03:13] ---
    The Sunabouzu...
[03:15] ---
    "Back in Action!"
[03:15] ---
    ...is back! With brand-new equipment!
[03:19] ---
    "Brand New!!"
[03:23] ---
    And...! And...! And...! And...!
[03:26] ---
    Tadah! An M40A1 sniper rifle!
[03:30] ---
    Atkinson stainless steel heavy barrel!
[03:33] ---
    Unertl 10x scope sight!
[03:36] ---
    Remington trigger set with a
    trigger pull of 1.8 kilograms!
[03:44] ---
    So beautiful...!
[03:46] ---
    At last you're mine, my darling M40A1-chan!
[03:53] ---
    I'm finally in the black
    after that job the other day!
[03:59] ---
    Though I do regret letting the
    treasure and boobs get away...
[04:05] ---
    But I did get this
    equally-as-delightful M40 instead...!
[04:11] ---
    Now, then...!
[04:13] ---
    What should I shoot first...?
[04:28] ---
    Damn...!
[05:02] ---
    Who the hell...?!
[05:25] ---
    Distance of about 1800. This guy's good...
[05:30] ---
    Guess we know who this
    baby's first target is...!
[05:42] ---
    Where is he?
[05:43] ---
    Huh?!
[05:54] ---
    I bet you think you're lucky, Sunabouzu...
[05:58] ---
    What?!
[05:59] ---
    But I aimed the first for your
    helmet, the second for your rifle.
[06:04] ---
    An M40 is better prey
    than a runt like you...
[06:08] ---
    Who the hell are you?!
[06:11] ---
    I wanted to see how good the guy
    who beat the invincible Kong
[06:16] ---
    to become the greatest handyman
    in the desert really is...
[06:20] ---
    I am Onuma Jiro, also known
    as the Shimmering Sniper.
[06:24] ---
    I challenge you, Sunabouzu!
[06:26] ---
    Who the hell do you think you are?! Huh?!
[06:31] ---
    Hey! Say something!
[06:40] ---
    This sucks...
[06:41] ---
    I had finally gotten it,
    after all I went through...!
[06:49] ---
    Trying to make a name, huh?! Hilarious.
[06:52] ---
    You're challenging me, when you know
[06:54] ---
    I'm the most skilled and
    talented in all the Kanto...?!
[06:58] ---
    Alright! You're on!
[07:01] ---
    Wherever you hide, I will find you
    and slowly torture you to death!
[07:22] ---
    The first was there...
[07:24] ---
    The second was here...
[07:51] ---
    Still new...
[08:06] ---
    Hey, what about our fight?
    The guy just took off...
[08:21] ---
    Northeast...
[08:33] ---
    Over there, huh?!
[08:51] ---
    Huh...?!
[08:53] ---
    He was walking down there,
    so how'd he beat me here?
[08:57] ---
    And the speed of those shots...
    Definitely an automatic.
[09:01] ---
    This is looking bad...
[09:03] ---
    If I can just pinpoint his location...
[09:33] ---
    Come on... Take the bait...!
[09:36] ---
    I just need to know where he is...
[09:42] ---
    There! Found ya!
[09:44] ---
    If only my M40 weren't busted...
[09:51] ---
    Just means I'll have to get closer.
[10:08] ---
    He fell...
[10:10] ---
    But he's the Ghost of the Desert.
    I doubt he'd die so easily...
[10:20] ---
    Now for night to fall...
[10:43] ---
    Ow...! Ouch...!
[10:56] ---
    It's all right...
[11:00] ---
    He's a bargain basement sniper.
[11:02] ---
    I can't imagine he has
    very fancy equipment...
[11:05] ---
    So his scouting capabilities
    are the same as mine.
[11:09] ---
    I figured the first to find
    the other would win,
[11:12] ---
    but how is he able to move that fast?!
[11:48] ---
    Freeze!
[11:52] ---
    Eh...?
[11:54] ---
    Eh?
[11:56] ---
    Eh?!
[11:57] ---
    A girl...?!
[12:02] ---
    A kid...?!
[12:12] ---
    No way!
[12:31] ---
    Thank you so much! I've been
    wandering around lost for two days!
[12:41] ---
    And thanks for this delicious food!
[12:44] ---
    Oh, those are 1000 yen apiece...
[12:51] ---
    Water's... on the house.
[13:04] ---
    No, no. If money can ensure
    my life, I'll easily pay up!
[13:11] ---
    Here you are.
[13:12] ---
    Thanks!
[13:14] ---
    Boy, am I glad I met someone nice!
[13:17] ---
    Not like that creep I met earlier!
[13:22] ---
    He wouldn't even glance at me
    when I was on my last legs,
[13:24] ---
    and he held a rifle this
    long like he was so great...
[13:27] ---
    What?! Say that again!
[13:33] ---
    You met him?!
[13:43] ---
    Where?! Where was he?!
[13:51] ---
    Damn it!
[14:00] ---
    Hey...!
[14:02] ---
    Kid! Hide unless you wanna die!
[14:05] ---
    It's okay! I know I won't get shot!
[14:09] ---
    Huh?!
[14:11] ---
    Upsy-daisy...
[14:12] ---
    Hey, wait, that's mine...!
[14:16] ---
    Well, goodbye!
[14:20] ---
    Hey, you...!
[14:28] ---
    Aha! Those footsteps...!
[14:31] ---
    That brat...! She was playing
    Onuma Jiro's double!
[14:45] ---
    Crap.
[15:09] ---
    So hot...
[15:12] ---
    She took off with all my
    water and spare batteries...
[15:16] ---
    I need to save it for emergencies,
    but wearing my helmet
[15:21] ---
    with the cooler off to
    scan for them is hell...
[15:28] ---
    He hasn't moved one bit, Master.
[15:32] ---
    Nope. But good job stealing his bag, Taiko.
[15:40] ---
    Now we just wait.
[15:42] ---
    Kill the Sunabouzu, and you'll be
    famous and gets lots of hit jobs!
[15:49] ---
    He's only famous because of his craftiness.
[15:53] ---
    It's only natural for me to bring him down.
[15:57] ---
    He is the exact opposite of you.
[16:00] ---
    You're a top-skilled sharpshooter,
[16:04] ---
    though your drawback is that you're
    too nice and bad at business.
[16:12] ---
    Don't be so frank.
[16:16] ---
    Wow!
[16:17] ---
    There sure is a lot in here...
[16:22] ---
    Don't be touching anything.
    It could be dangerous.
[16:25] ---
    Yes, sir...
[16:27] ---
    "Danger"
[16:28] ---
    What's this?
[16:32] ---
    If I at least knew where they were...
[16:42] ---
    Not this...
[16:45] ---
    I hoped I'd never have to use this, but...
[17:08] ---
    Your move, Sunabouzu!
[17:37] ---
    Master!
[17:42] ---
    Time to die!
[17:43] ---
    Time to go boom!
[17:47] ---
    Up there!
[18:15] ---
    Master...
[18:17] ---
    Taiko...! Are you alright?!
[18:19] ---
    Y-yes...
[18:27] ---
    What is it?!
[18:41] ---
    Tons of Sunabouzus...!
[18:44] ---
    What is this...?!
[18:46] ---
    Impossible...!
[18:49] ---
    What the...?!
[18:50] ---
    A balloon...!
[18:52] ---
    Are these... all balloons?
[18:56] ---
    No, he's definitely hiding among them...!
[19:01] ---
    This one?!
[19:05] ---
    Damn!
[19:07] ---
    Damn it!
[19:09] ---
    Another one!
[19:10] ---
    One toy balloon...
[19:13] ---
    Two toy balloons...!
[19:16] ---
    Three toy balloons...!
[19:19] ---
    The dozen balloons and rainbow
    smoke bombs I reluctantly bought...
[19:25] ---
    How beautiful they were...
[19:31] ---
    I knew it was a vicious desert,
[19:33] ---
    but I never thought I'd get my bag stolen.
[19:36] ---
    That's how I felt as I rigged it
    with explosives as insurance...
[19:40] ---
    But I never actually
    thought I'd blow 'em up...
[19:44] ---
    Like I care!
[19:47] ---
    Damn! You can't mock me...!
[19:51] ---
    You know...
[19:52] ---
    I've made the most of
    situations presented to me
[19:55] ---
    to escape from many hells.
[19:59] ---
    With skill like that, I would never
    lose to a weakling sniper like you!
[20:13] ---
    Probably just another balloon--
[20:21] ---
    Or the real one...
[20:24] ---
    Master...!
[20:26] ---
    Aimed for my rifle, huh?
    You think you're so cool...
[20:29] ---
    That's why you're weak.
[20:32] ---
    If it were me, I would've shot you
    through the head without a word!
[20:38] ---
    Master lost...!
[20:50] ---
    No! Don't rape me!
[20:56] ---
    Don't be dumb.
[20:59] ---
    Geez! The only thing worth
    anything is this Dragunov?
[21:05] ---
    This ain't worth enough to fix my M40...
[21:09] ---
    I won, but I ain't happy...
[21:25] ---
    Master!
[21:26] ---
    I beg you!
[21:27] ---
    Quit calling me master!
[21:36] ---
    Following me around ain't gonna make it so!
[21:39] ---
    No! I will follow you everywhere
    until you make me your pupil!
[21:43] ---
    I don't like your face.
    It reminds me of bad memories.
[21:50] ---
    In this way, the Sunabouzu
    found himself the target
[21:53] ---
    of those seeking a name for themselves.
[21:57] ---
    Oh, dear...
[22:07] ---
    I beg of you! I want to be the
    strongest woman in the desert!
[22:12] ---
    You just don't get it...
[22:14] ---
    I'll do anything you ask of me!
[22:17] ---
    Even if it's something naughty!
[22:19] ---
    I ain't interested in bony,
    flat-chested chicks.
[22:23] ---
    Then I'll grow giant breasts!
[22:25] ---
    Eh?!
[22:25] ---
    "Giant Breasts"
[22:40] ---
    One circle... Two circles...
[22:48] ---
    One more big circle...
[22:52] ---
    A billowing raincoat...
    (It's a cape!)

[22:56] ---
    Oh, let's not forget
    the sunshade now...

[23:01] ---
    (His heart is pitch black!
    His heart is pitch black!)

[23:07] ---
    Give him a Winchester and
    suddenly you have Sunabouzu!

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

[23:26] ---
    Through the desert!
    (Even if forced to do jobs)

[23:30] ---
    He'll go forth again tomorrow!
    (Go forth again)

[23:34] ---
    (Until he gets the Boobie Lady)
[23:36] ---
    (Until he gets the Boobie Lady)
[23:38] ---
    (Until he gets the Boobie Lady!)
[23:40] ---
    He'll rush on ahead, life
    on the line! Rush on ahead!

[23:58] ---
    Yo! Ghost of the Desert, Sunabouzu here!
[24:00] ---
    How was this episode's boob lady?
    Wait, there was none!
[24:00] ---
    
[24:03] ---
    They're just for show!
    Important people wouldn't understand!
[24:06] ---
    More importantly, what about me...?
[24:08] ---
    On the next Sunabouzu -
    Well and Trap
[24:10] ---
    -- Huh?
    -- Miss it and it's flat chests for you!
