Announcer:miracle city,

A spicy cesspool of crime

And villainy.

This is the story of

Manny rivera,

Better known as...

[Roars]

Manny: el tigre!

Son of the legendary hero...

White pantera!

Grandson of the evil

Super villain...

Puma loco.

["El tigre" theme plays...]

Crowd: el tigre!

[Sirens wailing]

[Cheering]

El tigre!

[♪...]

[Roaring]

[Roars]

Crowd: el tigre!

[♪...]

[Bell rings]

We're calling you out,

Manny poo-vera.

We know something about

Your family.

We... Hey!

Where you going?

Youbetterwalk away from us,

Rivera, 'cause we got

The goods on your family.

You're gonna cry.

You're gonna cry like a baby.

You're gonna cry like

A guy who... Cries... A lot.

Buzz off, pinheads.

You say anything bad about

His family, and manny's gonna go

All "el tigre" on your

Sorry behinds.

Whoa!

Relax, frida.

My dad always says the rivera

Name stands for courage and

Honor above all.

What could they possibly know?

We know that your father...

Is a coward.

[♪...]

[♪...] [Gasping]

[Gasping]

[Laughing]

[Roars]

[Laughing]

[Grunting]

It's not nice to spit lies

About my father.

It's no lie.

We heard the man at the bodega

Say white pantera once ran away

From a fight with...

El mal verde.

My father is no coward!

Liar!

Woman: manuel pablo gutierrez

O'brien equihua rivera!

Librarian!

Librarian! [Bell rings]

[Bell rings]

Put down those unsanitary

Boys and come here, right now.

You, too, frida.

You lucky your mom showed up.

[Screams]

Oh, thank...

Boys: we're ok.

Boy: I'm not.

Whoa, whatisthis place?

Frida, you act like you've

Never been in the school library

Before.

Lie-berry?

Those jerks insulted

The rivera family name.

They made up some crazy story

About dad running away from

A guy called el mal verde?

[Gasps]

El mal verde.

Who is this guy?

He sounds like bad salsa.

El mal verde is the biggest,

Meanest, most viciousbandito

Of all time.

Every years, he comes down

From the peak of mounttortura

And att*cks miracle city.

[Alarm bell rings]

Once, some superheroes went

To stop him, but they...

[Gasping]

Then your father, he went up,

Too, and...

And?

And?

[Gasping]

And you should talk to him

About it.

Ok, library closed now,

Good-bye.

Wait!

Dad b*at him, right?

I mean, even if he didn't win,

He wasn't acoward,was he?

Mom?

Hey, this lie-berry place

Is full of books!

Well, it is.

Isn't it?

What?

White pantera: you win again.

How do you do it?

Ai, is just my lucky day,

I guess.

[Chuckles]

Ah, there is my son,

Dripping with the honor that is

The rivera name.

Hi, dad.

Hey, did you ever fight

Abanditocalled el mal verde?

El mal verde?

[Electricity buzzes]

Never heard of him.

Oh, 'cause I heard a rumor,

But it can't be true, but then

Mom started hyperventilating.

It's lies, it's propaganda!

Father, he should know.

Yes, I once battled

El mal verde.

I knew it.

And what happened after you

b*at him?

Eh, about that.

Remember how I told you that

Some superheroes disappeared

Years ago?

Yeah, you said they went to

Live on a farm where they could

Run free and chase rabbits.

Er, that's what we agreed

To tell the children.

The truth is, they were,

What's the word?

Eaten?

Eaten.

By el mal verde.

And it was my duty

To defeat him!

Unfortunately, I misjudged

The size of the problem...

[Gasps]

[Farting noise]

[Breathes deeply]

[Thudding noise]

It was close, but he was

Too strong for me.

I had to make a decision:

Stay and fight a battle

I could not win.

Or return to my family.

And that's what happened.

Flan?

Wait.

You decided to stay and fight,

Didn't you?

Well, no.

[Gasps]

But what about honor?

And courage?

And our family name?

Why didn't you go back, dad?

Why?

I, I couldn't.

You don't understand.

Oh, I understand.

I understand that my father...

Is a coward!

Coward?

[Gasps]

Huh?

[Parrot squawks indistinctly]

Hee-haw-hee.

If that is what you think of

Me, then there is nothing left

To say.

[♪...]

Do you have a book about

Guitars?

Yes.

Do you have a book about

Exploding things?

Yes.

Do you have a book about

Churros?

Yes.

Ah-ha!

But do you have a book about

Eatingchurroswhile playing

An exploding guitar?

Hm, yes.

[Electric guitar plays]

This is the greatest place

Ever!

Oh.

You spoke to your father?

Huh, you mean the coward?

Manny!

Harsh.

It's true.

He ran from a fight.

He tarnished our family name,

Mom.

We hate to say we told you

So, wait, no.

Welovethat.

We told you so.

[Roars]

[Screaming]

Ah.

[Boys grunt]

There's only one way I can

Save the rivera name from

Disgrace.

I must defeat el mal verde

Myself.

You will do no such thing.

That dude is way dangerous.

It's been years, so

El mal verde is due to att*ck

Miracle city again.

And if the coward that is

My father won't stop him,

It's up to me.

Manny, come back.

Want me to stay behind

And protect your mom, ok.

[Bell tolls]

[Grunts]

Why'd they have to put

The mountain's peak all the way

At the top?

[Bell tolls]

[♪...]

[Bell tolls]

I'll show this guy what

The riveras are really made of.

I hope it'schocolate.

Hi.

[Manny screams]

[El mal verde laughs]

[Manny grunts]

[Gasping]

You have the stench of

The only hero who ever got away

From me, what was his name?

White panties?

I didn't get to eat him,

But you'll do fine.

Eat this!

[Roars]

[Thudding noises]

[Grunts and groans]

Caramba.

This terrifying onslaught

This terrifying onslaught sure is making me hungry.

Sure is making me hungry.

Oh, no!

Capitan aguilar'shelmet

Of power.

Loba roja'sheat ray,

Dude needs to floss.

El mal verde.

Where is my son?

Er, uh, I can't talk.

Probably stuck in my teeth.

No force on earth can stop me

From protecting my son.

I would doanythingfor

My family, any...

[Laughs]

Whoa-oh-oh-oh!

[Grunts]

White pantera: "I would do

Anything for my family,

Any... [Grunts].

Any... [Grunts].

Any... [Grunts]."

Dad didn't run away 'cause

He was scared to fight.

He ran away 'cause he was scared

Of leaving me and mom alone!

Papa!

I'm sorry!

I know you're no coward.

You can b*at him.

I believe in you, dad.

[Sniffles]

My son.

El mal verde, face the wrath...

Stop doing that!

Walk it off.

There's no room to land.

Don't worry.

In the lie-berry, I found

Something that'll defeat

El mal verde.

You found a book that reveals

His secret weakness?

Nope.

Eat this!

Well, that's all I got.

Thoughts?

I gotta help dad.

I gotta help dad. How does this thing work?

How does this thing work?

["El tigre" theme plays]

[Screams]

[Birds chirping]

[Groans]

White pantera!

[El mal verde grunts]

El mal verde: puh.

["El tigre" theme plays]

[Grunts]

You broke my teeth.

You broke my teeth. I need them for eating you.

I need them for eating you.

[Grunts]

He not so tough no more.

Dad.

I'm sorry I doubted you.

You're no coward.

You ran away for us.

I had to make sure I was

Around to raise a heroic son

Like you, no?

And you did a good job.

You're super macho, dad.

Thank you,mijo.

But we b*at thatbandito

Together.

I helped.

I threw a lie-berry book

At him, [laughs].

Mother: and you will be fined

Accordingly, frida.

Accordingly, frida. Frida: oh, man, lie-berrians.

Frida: oh, man, lie-berrians.

Frida: oh, man, lie-berrians. [♪...]

[♪...]

[♪...] [Whirring noises]

[Whirring noises]

Oh, dad?

What's with the cleaning?

This place has to look

Perfect when the seventh samurai

Comes over for dinner tonight.

Ai!

[Squawks indistinctly]

Is this guy some kind of

Neat freak?

No, he's a legendary hero.

His hometown of shogun city

Was once a festering pit

Of villainy.

But the samurai defeated

The fiendish ninja monster clan,

And it is now the safest,

Neatest, least jaywalking-est

City in the world.

Whoa, he actually did what

You've been trying to do

In miracle city for, like,

Forever.

Well, yes.

It's something I've been

Working on, and...

I'd better wax the ceiling

Again.

[Doorbell rings]

[Screams]

Manny, quick!

We must greet him as

Superheroes.

[Laughs] got you.

Time for...

[Roars]

El tigre!

White pantera!

And a pirate!

Argh.

[Laughs]

Just making sure the samurai

Don't recognize me from

That time I steal all his

City sidewalks.

By the way, the samurai

Is bringing his son, who will be

Staying with us for a while,

In your room.

What?

I have to share my room?

[Laughs] of course not.

You'll be bunking with

Señor chappi.

[♪...]

You must be manny.

[Gong rings]

And you must be his little

Trouble-making friend.

Samurai.

How nice to see you.

You look well, old friend.

Allow me to introduce my son,

Toshiro.

Toshiro?

Ah, run off to fight evil,

Has he?

Can't resist the call of action,

Just like his old man, eh?

Mm, no.

He can resist it.

Being early is just as rude

As being late, father.

There.

Hello, mr. White pantera.

Hello, mr. El tigre.

Hello, ms. Little trouble-making

Friend.

Hello, mr. Pirate.

Arr.

Toshiro is very polite.

I enjoy following rules

And being helpful.

Please allow me to cook you

Dinner and re-grout your

Shower tile.

Fifty bucks says he's

A robot.

[♪...]

Augh!

The food, she is yummy.

[Laughs]

[Coughs]

So, samurai.

You may have noticed that I have

Wiped out nearly all the crime

In miracle city.

[Alarm rings]

My samur-cycle.

[Rats squeak]

[Laughs nervously]

I did say "nearly."

They stole my ride.

It has been so long since

I experienced crime.

I will catch those

Responsible.

Toshiro, it is not...

Cyber-sumo!

Ooh, he sort ofis

A robot.

[Toshiro screams]

[Toshiro grunts]

I just need to find

The door.

I will... Repair any damage.

Toshiro, a wise hero knows

When to let go of a battle.

A wise hero also knows

How to open a door.

I'm so sorry about your

Motorcycle, samurai.

Oh, I'm a terrible superhero.

I have not yet cleaned up

Miracle city.

Rodolfo, you are a fine hero.

I am grateful that your town

Is still a spicy cesspool

Of crime and villainy.

It is notthatspicy.

I have brought toshiro here

To toughen him.

Shogun city is too safe.

He has to face the real danger.

Otherwise, how will he ever be

His own man?

I will be my own man

If you want me to.

Rodolfo, if you are amenable,

I would like toshiro to stay

Here till he has defeated

A super-villain all on his own.

Of course.

But he'd better hurry.

I'm sure I will have eliminated

All villainy from the city

By tuesday.

I'll make you proud, father.

I am sorry, food.

I must eat you.

Manny: aw, don't worry,

Toshiro, I'm sure you can

b*at a bad guy.

Someday, uh, maybe, a small one.

But right now, let's have some

Miracle city fun.

Thank you, but it'ssohot.

Allow me to cool you off

By blowing on you constantly.

[Inhales loudly]

[Inhales loudly]

Great, all he needs is

A super-villain who's a birthday

Candle.

[♪...]

[Laughter]

Very sorry.

I apologize.

[Screams]

My fault.

My fault. [♪...]

[♪...]

[♪...] [Rooster crows]

[Rooster crows]

[Snores]

[Snores] [coughs]

[Coughs]

[General conversation]

[Birds singing]

After you.

Oof!

Excuse me, but pushingisrude.

What you gonna do about it?

Since pushing back is also

Rude, etiquette requires that

I stand here helplessly doing

Nothing.

I can't stand it anymore!

We're gonna be stuck with

Toshiro forever.

There's no way he could b*at

A super-villain, never,

Forget it, not a chance.

Can't we buy him a practice

One, like a training nemesis?

Buy one, that's it.

We'll just find a bad guy

We can pay to take a dive.

Here is my life savings.

Anything to get rid of

The mighty politey!

[b*llet ricochets]

[Person screams]

Calle porqueria,the perfect

Place for one-stop super-villain

Shopping.

Ok, this has to be believable.

Frida: let's see.

Too big.

Too strong.

Too scary.

Too smelly.

Excuse me.

I hear you're looking for

Someone.

This guy's perfect.

Yeah,amigo,we need you

To get in a big fight with

The son of the seventh samurai

And let him win.

He's down in the plaza.

So, right now, he is...

Unprotected.

Totally.

We gave him a dictionary

And told him there was

A spelling mistake in it.

He'll be busy for hours.

Yes.

That sounds perfect.

Uh, don't you want to know

What it pays?

We will take our payment in

Vengeance!

[Gasps]

A ninja monster!

Noproblema.

[Roars]

Not much of aproblema.

We're doomed!

Now the seventh samurai

Will pay with his son.

We gotta get to toshiro,

Fast.

[Birds singing]

[Pigeon coos]

I beg you to leave,

Mr. Pigeon, sir.

I have to concentrate.

[Pigeon clucks]

[Gasps]

The ninja monster clan.

My father's sworn enemies.

[El tigre roars]

Toshiro, suit up.

Cyber-sumo!

Villains, I apologize for

The painful b*ating I must now

Give you.

[♪...]

[Sirens wailing]

[Screams]

I will repair any damage.

Ow!

One at a time, please.

[Grunts]

Ganging up is a violation of...

[Grunts]

...rules of fair play.

I'm coming, cyber-sumo.

Don't worry, toshiro.

Manny will save you.

It's the least he can do since

He asked these guys to att*ck

You in the first place.

Frida!

Too much?

Toshiro: he... Did... What?

You are the reason my father's

Most hated enemies are attacking

Me?

Youhave committed the supreme

Act of rudeness?

Yes-ish.

You are unworthy of

Politeness!

Politeness! Son, look out.

Son, look out.

[Tires squeal]

Oh, my.

[Old-fashioned piano plays]

You did it, toshiro.

Betray me again, el tigre,

And you'll get sumo-bliterated!

My son.

You have made me proud.

Rodolfo, you and manny have

Helped free toshiro's inner

Warrior.

I cannot thank you enough.

I swear, I'll have the city

Cleaned up by next tuesday.

Good-bye, my friend.

Toshiro and I must return home

On urgent business.

Some fiend has gone on

A jaywalking spree.

Let them fall before

The mighty juggernaut of our

Wrath.

Uh, yes.

You know what's weird?

Walruses?

Ever since toshiro got all

Cheesed-off and threatened to

"Sumo-bliterate" me,

I like him better.

Yeah, I'll miss the little

Guy.

The samurai's gone, you can

Come out now.

Good, I was getting all

Prune-y.

Prune-y. No, wait, I'm always like this.

No, wait, I'm always like this.

No, wait, I'm always like this. ["El tigre" theme plays...]
