[00:01] Kaito
    To defeat Benten Kureha of the Cyber Pirates,
[00:03] Kaito
    the Seven Gods of Suits, we challenged
    her giant robot King Benten to a battle,
[00:09] Kaito
    took it down with some
    well-executed teamwork,
[00:11] Kaito
    and liberated the city of Hiroshima!
[00:14] Kaito
    Now, Big Money Company is setting out
    on another business trip again today!

[02:10] Shachi
    So you've come, you evil pawns!
[02:13] Shachi
    My mask is a perfect fit again today!
[02:17] Shachi
    The avatar of justice,
[02:19] Shachi
    Hokosu Shachi, will take you on!
SIGN    A Few Hours Ago
[02:30] Kaito
    All set for our business trip to Nagoya!
[02:32] Kaito
    All right, here we go!
[02:34] All
    Yeah!
[02:36] Kaito
    But first, bathroom break!
[02:40] Kaito
    Paper, paper...
[02:43] Kaito
    Huh? It's not coming out?
[02:47] Mitsuo
    Hey, what're you doing, Kaito-kun?
[02:50] Fukuta
    Let's hurry up and go, though!
[02:51] Kaito
    I can't help it! The toilet
    paper's not coming out!
[02:56] Oto
    That's right...
[02:59] Oto
    These toilets only dispense
    five centimeters of toilet paper per visit!
[03:05] Kaito
    What'd you say?! No way!
SIGN    5 cm per visit!!
[03:09] Kaito
    A little came out!
[03:11] Kaito
    What, seriously?!
[03:13] Kaito
    Ow!
[03:15] Kaito
    All right, we're going this time for sure!
[03:18] Mitsuo
    Yes!
[03:18] Fukuta
    Though!
[03:24] Kaito
    It's an automatic door, so why
    won't it open automatically?!
[03:27] Fukuta
    Was there a power outage, though?
[03:36] Kaito
    Hey, there isn't a single car on the road.
[03:39] Mitsuo
    This is such a huge rotary.
[03:41] Mitsuo
    How can there be no taxis or buses in sight?
[03:44] Local1
    Oh, didn't you hear about
    the Economization Order?
[03:47] Local2
    If you don't economize, you get a fine.
[03:50] Local3
    We don't take cars to save
    on the cost of gasoline.
[03:54] Mitsuo
    I see.
[03:55] Mitsuo
    So the automatic doors were shut
    to save on the cost of electricity.
[03:59] Sekito
    Could this be the Seven Gods of Suits' doing?
[04:02] Local4
    Yeah, it's Hokosu Shachi's fault. Look.

    Departing!
[04:13] Sekito
    I guess this is what they meant by
    "central Japan is in big trouble."
[04:16] Boo
    What a terrible law, ka-ching!
[04:18] Kaito
    He won't get away with this!
[04:20] Kaito
    I'll blow that Shachihoko jerk away!
[04:24] Kaito
    And on that note!
[04:25] Kaito
    Seven Gods of Suits member Hokosu Shachi!
[04:27] Kaito
    I'm going to take you down
[04:28] Kaito
    and rip that Economization Order and
    that Tower of Seizure a new one,
[04:32] Kaito
    so you better prepare yourself!
[04:34] Shachi
    If you are opposing me,
[04:36] Shachi
    all of you must be evil!
[04:39] Kaito
    What're you talking about?
[04:40] Kaito
    You're the bad guy here!
[04:41] Shachi
    Absurd!
[04:43] Shachi
    I am the avatar of justice.
[04:45] Shachi
    Everything I do is just!
[04:49] Shachi
    The people of central Japan keep their lights
    off and are early to bed, early to rise!
[04:53] Shachi
    They don't use cars or elevators!
[04:54] Shachi
    Thanks to this Economization Order,
    they've all become wholesome people!
[04:58] Kaito
    But everyone hates it!
[05:00] Fukuta
    That's right, though!
[05:01] Fukuta
    Forcing it on them isn't good, though!
[05:04] Shachi
    I wouldn't be so sure about that.
[05:06] Sekito
    What do you mean?
[05:14] Shachi
    My citizens, good work economizing!
[05:18] Shachi
    Frugality is justice!
[05:19] Shachi
    Now, behold!
[05:22] Shachi
    This is how much money we've saved
    thanks to the Economization Order today!
[05:27] Mitsuo
    Th-That's a lot of money!
[05:29] Shachi
    90% goes into savings, but 10%
    gets returned to everyone!
[05:33] Sachi
    Here, take it!
[05:37] LocalA
    It's money!
[05:38] LocalB
    What a dazzling display!
[05:40] LocalC
    If we economize, it comes back to us in cash!
[05:43] LocalD
    And it's eco-friendly, too!
[05:44] LocalE
    This Economization Order is the best!
[05:47] Kaito
    No way...
[05:48] Mitsuo
    They've been blinded by the money flashed
    in front of them, and have accepted it!
[05:52] Boo
    Giving away money that
[05:54] Boo
    you ripped off in the first place as a
    popularity stunt, like some politician,
[05:57] Boo
    is way too stingy!
[06:02] Shachi
    Calling it "stingy" is inexcusable!
[06:05] Shachi
    Frugality is justice!
[06:07] Shachi
    If you still insist on calling my
    Economization Order evil after all this,
[06:09] Shachi
    then try telling me what is so evil about it!
[06:12] Kaito
    That's obvious!
[06:13] Kaito
    The bad part of the Economization Order is...
[06:17] Kaito
    What, exactly?
[06:17] All
    Pratfall!
[06:19] Kaito
    Come to think of it, Sis is always
    saying "save up, save up," too.
[06:23] Kaito
    What is bad about an Economization Order?!
[06:31] Sekito
    Man, you're too stupid to use
    your head so much, idiot.
[06:43] Shachi
    Frugality is justice!
[06:46] Shachi
    Which is to say, you are the
    evil ones for opposing it!
[06:49] Shachi
    You will be punished!
[06:51] Kaito
    Ka-ching!
[06:52] Kaito
    A hero accepts any battle offered to them!
[06:54] Shachi
    Oh? You think you can beat me?
[06:57] Kaito
    Of course! I'm the strongest!
[07:00] Shachi
    I like you!
[07:01] Shachi
    If you beat me,
[07:04] Shachi
    I'll let you take my daughter as your bride!
[07:06] All
    Huh?!
[07:08] Fukuta
    Take her as his bride? That means
    he'll let you marry her, though?
[07:11] Mitsuo
    How did we suddenly get on that subject?
[07:13] Shachi
    It isn't sudden!
[07:15] Shachi
    I've been searching for a
    suitable man for my daughter,
[07:17] Shachi
    for a man who could beat me in a Hero Battle,
[07:20] Shachi
    for a long, long time!
[07:23] Shachi
    It's my dream to give my daughter
    a big, flashy wedding ceremony.
[07:29] Shachi
    I've kept her waiting until then,
[07:32] Shachi
    and put everything I've saved
    up to now into her dowry!
[07:36] Mitsuo
    Amazing! That's what you call a baller!
[07:40] Kaito
    Balls?
[07:41] Mitsuo
    No!
[07:43] Mitsuo
    When a woman marries a rich man,
    she's called a "gold digger,"
[07:46] Mitsuo
    and when a man marries a rich
    woman, he's called a "baller"!
[07:51] Fukuta
    But I'm sure his daughter is...
[07:56] Fukuta
    No thanks, though.
[07:58] Mitsuo
    Father! I beg of you!
[08:02] Mitsuo
    Please give your daughter to me!
[08:05] All
    What?!
[08:18] Mitsuo
    Please give your daughter to me!
[08:21] Mitsuo
    I promise I'll make her happy!
[08:24] Fukuta
    You've never even seen her before.
[08:26] Fukuta
    Are you sure you should
    make this decision, though?
[08:28] Mitsuo
    Looks are irrelevant!
[08:30] Mitsuo
    What's important is money!
[08:33] Kaito
    That?!
[08:34] Mitsuo
    Love is over!
[08:36] Mitsuo
    Money is forever!
[08:38] Mitsuo
    Love will one day end...
    But money is everlasting!
[08:43] Kaito
    I don't have a clue what you're saying,
[08:46] Kaito
    but you've got passion, Mitsuo!
[08:48] Boo
    Ka-ching!
[08:49] Sekito
    Well, whatever.
[08:50] Sekito
    You go in my place.
[08:54] Sekito
    That's what the dice are telling me.
[08:56] All
    Go-go with two fives?!
[09:00] Shachi
    If you've got the spirit to surpass
    me with our special rules,
[09:02] Shachi
    then I'll give you my daughter with pleasure!
[09:06] All
    Special rules?
[09:07] Shachi
    There's a rule exclusive to central Japan
    that says if you propose a savings technique
[09:12] Shachi
    that the audience approves of during
    the battle, you'll gain support money!
[09:16] Kaito
    Which means...
[09:17] Fukuta
    The more you save, the bigger
    your advantage, though.
[09:20] Mitsuo
    Cutting costs is the foundation
    of running a business!
[09:24] Mitsuo
    Fine by me!
[09:25] Mitsuo
    Here we go, Kaito-kun!
[09:27] Kaito

[09:58] Mitsuo
    If you're going to say that,
    it's "his head is backwards!"
[10:00] Mitsuo
    He's doing a headstand!
[10:01] Shachi
    What do you think? Did it surprise you?!
[10:03] Kaito
    Why are you doing a headstand?!
[10:05] Shachi
    Not spending until you're blue in the face...
[10:08] Shachi
    Economizing to your breaking point...
[10:09] Shachi
    This is the ultimate Hero Suit
    which represents my frugal soul!
[10:14] Kaito
    Ha! Quit spouting your twisted logic!
[10:17] Kaito
    I won't lose in any battle!
[10:19] Fukuta
    Will Mitsuo really get married
    if he wins the battle, though?
[10:25] Announcer
    Here we go!
[10:26] Announcer
    Today, battle money will start from
    zero yen due to a special rule set!
[10:30] Announcer
    However, since Topsy-Turvy Surprise
[10:33] Announcer
    is being frugal and fighting without
    a partner, he gains battle money!
[10:39] Kaito
    That's possible?!
[10:41] Announcer
    This is one of the special rules, as well.
[10:45] Shachi
    I am the avatar of justice!

    Do the laundry with leftover bath water!
[11:07] Woman
    That would save on the water bill!
[11:09] Man
    And it's eco-friendly!
    Two birds with one stone!
[11:12] Announcer
    Nice economizing!
[11:13] Announcer
    Battle money has accumulated
    from the audience!
[11:16] Shachi
    I feel my power rising!
[11:19] Kaito
    In that case...
[11:21] Kaito
    I keep on eating Yummy Sticks until...
[11:24] Kaito
    I get a winner and score a free one!
[11:27] Mitsuo
    What part of that is economizing?!
[11:30] Fukuta
    That's actually extravagant, though!
[11:31] Kaito
    What are you talking about?
[11:32] Kaito
    You can eat two sticks for the price of one!
[11:37] Announcer
    Oh, dear. This is a subdued response!
[11:40] Announcer
    Enter the Prize's money
    gauge isn't going up at all!
[11:43] Kaito
    Huh?!
[11:45] Shachi
    King's Fry!
[11:51] Kaito
    Now you've done it!
[11:53] Kaito
    If it's come to this,
    then I'll use my trump card!
[11:55] Kaito
    You can save water...
[11:57] Kaito
    by not washing your underwear for a week!
[12:00] Fukuta
    That's filthy, though!
[12:03] Announcer
    Totally hopeless!
[12:05] Announcer
    His money gauge isn't moving an inch!
[12:07] Kaito
    Huh? Why?!
[12:09] Mitsuo
    That's obvious!
[12:10] Shachi
    Prawn-Bend Justice!
[12:14] Mitsuo
    I can't leave this to Kaito-kun any longer!
[12:17] Mitsuo
    I'm going in!
[12:20] Mitsuo
    Wipe down windows with old newspapers!
[12:23] Mitsuo
    It's economical, and they sparkle after!
[12:26] Mitsuo
    I learned this one from Nagare-kun!
[12:29] Man
    Oh, I get it!
[12:33] Mitsuo
    I earned some battle money!
[12:36] Mitsuo
    Flying Disc!
[12:40] Mitsuo
    All right! I'm gonna keep 'em coming!
[12:43] Mitsuo
    Accept those pocket tissues
    they hand out for free!
[12:47] Shachi
    Not bad!
[12:48] Shachi
    Go around the food court of a
    mall and try all the samples!
[12:52] Mitsuo
    Look for edible weeds and
    lighten your food expenses!
[12:56] Shachi
    Have the whole family sleep in a single
    futon and keep each other warm!
[13:02] Mitsuo
    Stubborn!
[13:03] Mitsuo
    I've got to attack from a different angle!
[13:07] Mitsuo
    Burn the leftover, unpopular
    Fukuta-kun figures for heat!
[13:12] Fukuta
    Huh?!
[13:13] Fukuta
    However poorly they're selling,
    you don't have to go that far, though!
[13:17] Mitsuo
    Do they serve any other purpose?!
[13:19] Mitsuo
    Also, firing Fukuta-kun...
[13:21] Mitsuo
    I mean, some useless employee!
[13:23] Mitsuo
    I guess I can't say any more than that.
[13:26] Fukuta
    You totally said it, though.
    You're horrible, though!
[13:29] Mitsuo
    Reducing labor costs is instrumental!
[13:31] Mitsuo
    I can't help it!
[13:33] Mitsuo
    Also, I should have been frugal
    about my battle partner, as well!
[13:36] Kaito
    Hey, you're firing me, too?!
[13:39] Shachi
    It's too late now!
[13:40] Shachi
    Hokosu Shachi's Wrath!
[13:43] Fukuta
    This is bad, though!
[13:44] Kaito
    A super-dreadnought special attack?!
[13:49] Shachi
    I'll save it!
[13:52] Mitsuo
    Huh?!
[13:53] Announcer
    Topsy-Turvy Surprise decided to save
    his super-dreadnought special attack
[13:57] Announcer
    and replaced it with a shoddy kick!
[14:00] All
    Cheap!
[14:01] Boo
    Ka-ching!
[14:02] Shachi
    What do you mean "cheap"?
[14:04] Shachi
    Frugality is justice!
[14:07] Mitsuo
    I see! That's an option, too!
[14:09] Mitsuo
    In that case...
[14:10] Mitsuo
    Magic Programming!
[14:15] Mitsuo
    ...canceled.
[14:16] Mitsuo
    I'll cut back with a Hip Attack!
[14:19] Shachi
    Not bad at all!
[14:21] Shachi
    I'll cut back on Prawn-Bend Justice and jab!
[14:26] Mitsuo
    I'll cut back on my Flying Disc
[14:28] Mitsuo
    and slap you!
[14:30] Shachi
    Frugal Forehead-Poke!
[14:31] Mitsuo
    Frugal Forehead-Poke Reversal!
[14:33] Kaito
    Now they're just poking at each other...
[14:35] Fukuta
    No, they're just being cheapskates, though...
[14:39] Shachi
    My money is piling up nice and high!
[14:44] Mitsuo
    My money gauge is soaring through
    the roof, higher than yours!
[14:49] Kaito
    No!
[14:50] Kaito
    Something's wrong with this!
[14:52] Kaito
    When Sis was being frugal...
[14:54] (Flashback) Ai
    Look how much cheaper it was
    than buying it normally!
[14:57] (Flashback) Ai
    I was able to buy that camera because
    I'm frugal from day to day,
[15:01] (Flashback) Ai
    so be a little grateful!
[15:04] Kaito
    Yeah, it's completely wrong!
[15:07] Kaito
    Knock it off already, Mitsuo!
[15:08] Mitsuo
    Huh? What is it, Kaito-kun?
[15:11] Mitsuo
    Please don't get in my way.
[15:12] Kaito
    What have you been economizing
    all this time for, exactly?!
[15:16] Mitsuo
    For what? Well...
[15:18] Kaito
    Is just piling up money by
    being frugal enough for you?
[15:21] Kaito
    That's just being money-grubbing!
[15:24] Mitsuo
    That's right!
[15:26] Mitsuo
    I cut back and saved money for...
[15:30] Shachi
    What're you prattling on about?!
[15:34] Mitsuo
    Magic Programming!
[15:37] Shachi
    You're just gonna use it on some shabby skill!
[15:43] Shachi
    You're not being frugal?!
[15:45] Mitsuo
    Flash Idea!
[15:51] Shachi
    Why did you stop cutting back on your skills?
[15:54] Shachi
    Do you not value money?
[15:56] Mitsuo
    No, I love money!
[15:59] Mitsuo
    That's why I'll gratefully use
    every last yen I have on me!
[16:03] Shachi
    What?
[16:05] Kaito
    Well said, Mitsuo!
[16:07] Kaito
    You don't save money just to stockpile it!
[16:10] Kaito
    What's important is what you do
    with the money you've saved up!
[16:13] Kaito
    What you're doing isn't
    economizing or battling!
[16:17] Kaito
    You're just being a cheapskate!
[16:21] Woman
    That's right!
[16:22] Man
    Yeah!
[16:23] Man
    Don't lump being a cheapskate
    and being frugal together!
[16:26] Mitsuo
    Flash Idea!
[16:27] Mitsuo
    Flying Disc!
[16:29] Mitsuo
    Magic Programming!
[16:32] Mitsuo
    Goodbye, my money...
[16:34] Mitsuo
    My love...
[16:35] Mitsuo
    My everything...
[16:42] Mitsuo
    Kaito-kun, take care of the rest!
[16:44] Kaito
    Yeah!
[16:45] Man
    No point in just saving it!
[16:47] Man
    Now's the time to use it!
[16:49] Woman
    I'll support you with the money I saved up!
[16:52] Kaito
    It's going up!
[16:54] Kaito
    If you love money so much,
    then I'll turn you into money!
[16:58] Kaito
    Ascending Uppercut!
[17:02] Kaito
    And then...
[17:04] Kaito
    Emblem Driver!
[17:16] Fukuta
    It's a new super-dreadnought
    special attack, though!
[17:19] Announcer
    Winners: Enter the Prize and
[17:21] Announcer
    Beep Boop Game Machine!
[17:23] Kaito
    We did it!
[17:28] Shachi
    Impossible!
[17:30] Shachi
    How could I, the avatar of justice, lose?!
[17:32] Mitsuo
    Money is meaningless if you don't use it.
[17:35] Mitsuo
    You should have been frugal
    in order to win the battle,
[17:38] Mitsuo
    but you decided midway in to make
    increasing your money pile your goal.
[17:43] Shachi
    That was the moment you lost at
    the battle and at being frugal.
[17:48] Mitsuo
    This is exactly what they call,
[17:50] Mitsuo
    "putting the cart before the horse!"
[17:52] Shachi
    Putting the cart before the horse?
[17:56] Shachi
    However! I've still got my Tower of Justice!
[18:02] Kaito
    Hey, you! Don't run away!
[18:04] Boo
    He doesn't know when to give up, ka-ching!
[18:10] Shachi
    What?!
[18:11] Shachi
    What's going on?!
[18:18] Shachi
    My Tower of Justice!
[18:23] Sekito
    You'd best be cheap in moderation.
[18:26] Sekito
    Looks like you were penny-pinching excessively
[18:28] Sekito
    when building this Tower of Seizure.
[18:34] Sekito
    Your security was full of holes,
SIGN    Timber Rubber Hose Plastic Cardboard
[18:36] Sekito
    and its construction full of defects.
[18:39] Sekito
    It was a piece of cake to bring down.
[18:44] Mitsuo
    Huh?
[18:45] Mitsuo
    Does that mean you had me
    battle in order to buy time
[18:50] Mitsuo
    to destroy the Tower of Seizure?
[18:53] Sekito
    I needed you to pay back a little of your tab.
[18:56] Kaito
    I guess building up a tab
    makes you a cheapbutt!
[18:58] Mitsuo
    That doesn't make sense!
[19:03] Kaito
    He was totally inconspicuous this time.
[19:05] Boo
    I'm sure he was being frugal
    with his airtime, ka-ching.
[19:17] Sekito
    That's...
[19:28] Sekito
    You again!
[19:30] J
    I was able to destroy
    the tower thanks to you.
[19:33] J
    I'm grateful.
[19:34] J
    However, I won't hand over
    the legendary ten yen coin!
[19:38] J
    Adios!
[19:40] Sekito
    That guy!
[19:43] Kaito
    Justice Star...
[19:46] Kaito
    Nagare?!
[19:48] Kaito
    Nah, couldn't be...
[19:55] Kaito
    Where are you...
[19:57] Kaito
    Nagare?
[20:01] Fukuta
    Since Mitsuo won...
[20:03] Boo
    He's going to marry that Hokosu
    Shachi jerk's daughter, ka-ching?
[20:06] Mitsuo
    Yes!
[20:07] Mitsuo
    If I marry his daughter,
    all those assets will become mine...
[20:12] Shachi
    My daughter...
[20:14] Shachi
    will go to a guy like him...
[20:25] Kaito
    Your daughter is still a baby?!
[20:28] Fukuta
    It's way too early to be thinking
    about marriage, though!
[20:31] Sekito
    The age laws make it impossible to begin with.
[20:38] Mitsuo
    No way!
[20:41] Mitsuo
    My life as a baller...
[22:15] Mitsuo
    My "baller" strategy ended in failure.
[22:18] Fukuta
    Mitsuo, you're the zenith
    of sleaziness, though.
[22:20] Kaito
    The zenith of butts?
[22:21] Sekito
    Hurry up and change your pants!
SIGN    "To Tohoku! Toilet Recovery Mission!!"
[22:23] Kaito
    Next time, "To Tohoku!
[22:24] Kaito
    Toilet Recovery Mission!!"
[22:26] Kaito
    Let's rake in the dough!
