G: You moron!
G: I've had it with your incompetence. I'm disowning you!
G: You're never setting foot in this dojo again!
Kon: Music to my ears.
Kon: I'll be glad to not have to inherit this run-down dojo.
G: Is that so?
G: I bet a rascal like you is more suited to thievery than teaching swordsmanship,
G: Isao!
Kon: Huh? Where am I?
Warning ,Sign: Gorilla Isao's request: Watch this program in a bright room and at a safe distance from your TV!!
Kon: Damn. I can't believe I fell asleep during my patrol.
Kon: That's right. I'm on my patrol.
Kon: I'm definitely not a stalker.
E: Impressive.
Kon: Who goes there?
Kon: I like your agility, and your ability to hide your presence.
Kon: With your skills, becoming a notorious thief wouldn't be a pipe dream.
Kon: What do you say?
Kon: Would you like to succeed me and become the second Ape Boy?
Ep Title,Title: The Two Apes
Hij: Kondo-san.
Hij: What were you up to last night?
Hij: Our old friend showed up again. Things got pretty crazy.
Oeda,Sign: Oedo Financing
Hij: As usual, the victims were loan sharks.
Ape,Sign: Ape Boy was here.
Hij: The brilliant MO of acrobatically stealing from the targets
Hij: while simultaneously exposing their evil deeds,
Hij: the beast-like agility,
Hij: and the practice of turning the stolen goods into bananas
Hij: and distributing them to the poor...
Hij: It's the Ape Boy.
Hij: The notorious thief who'd been laying low for a while is back in action.
Gin: Wait, what's the meaning of this?
Hij: Some call him chivalrous or heroic and idolize him,
Hij: but a thief's a thief.
Hij: We'd better catch him quickly.
Kon: Yeah. I swear on the Shinsengumi's honor that I'll definitely catch...
Kon: ...that monkey's tail.
E: I'm amazed you mastered a monkey's movements in such a short time.
E: You have the innate talent to be a robber and a monkey.
Kon: I can't tell him!
Kon: I can't tell him I'm a cop!
Kon: I can't tell anyone that a thief took me, a cop, under his wing!
Monkey,Sign: Japanese Macaque
Kon: But I'm too embarrassed to tell him I was simply a stalker!
Kon: W-Wait up, Gramps!
Kon: I-I'm actually a...
E: No need to say it. Did you think I hadn't noticed?
E: You can't be a thief unless you have a keen, observing eye.
E: You're a wild gorilla, aren't you?
Kon: No, that's not it!
E: Relax. Gorillas are like brothers to monkeys.
E: You can be Ape Boy, no problem.
Kon: That's not the issue here!
E: You're saying it's weird to call a gorilla a boy, right?
E: You can get a name change to "Gorilla Man (Large)" if you want, then.
Kon: That'd just make me a large man who looks like a gorilla!
Kon: A-Anyway, there's a reason why I can't succeed you—
Hij: You two there. What are you doing?
Kon: T-Toshi!
Hij: I came to check 'cause I heard some suspicious men were trespassing here every night,
Hij: and what do I find but a monkey boss in hiding?
Kon: This sucks!
Kon: If I get caught here, my life will be ruined!
E: Talk about a perfect situation for training.
E: Let's go, Gori Boy.
Kon: Wait a minute!
E: Rules of Thievery, No. :
E: Consider darkness your friend, and light your enemy.
E: Target the enemy's lights!
Kon: Screw it.
Kon: Whatever!
G: Vice Chief!
Kon: Toshi!
E: Taking away not their light, but their sight? You're good.
Hij: Damn those apes! I'm gonna turn them into monkey hotpot!
E: Rules of Thievery, No. :
E: Howl with the wind, and stop with the wind.
E: Use every kind of sound to conceal your actions!
Kon: Easier said than done!
E: If you can't use the wind, make some kind of noise to distract them.
Kon: I've got it. I'll throw a stone at that cage!
Kon: Toshi!
E: Using the sound of the enemy's bones breaking?
E: I've never thought of that before!
Kon: Wait, wait. I'm innocent, Toshi!
E: Last rule of thievery! This is the most important one!
Hij: Hold it right there!
Hij: I'm not letting you escape!
Kon: Toshi?!
E: If no amount of running can save you,
E: then abandon your friends and everything you're carrying!
Kon: Huh?
Kon: What?!
Kon: Wait—
Hij: This is the end for you,
Hij: you damn apes!
Kon: I abandoned my friends and everything I had.
E: You're incredible.
E: You trained gorillas to act as your sacrificial pawns?
E: There's no doubt about it.
E: You'll surely be able to...
E: succeed...
Kon: H-Hey, Gramps?
Kon: Gramps!
E: Guess I went too wild for someone my age.
Kon: Gramps, are you...
E: Yeah.
E: At best,
E: I'll only last a month...
Kon: Oh my God.
Kon: He's serious.
Kon: He's seriously trying to make me succeed him.
Kon: From now on,
Kon: you have to distribute bananas as the second Ape Boy, okay?
Kon: It's like this is his dying wish!
Kon: It's getting even harder to refuse!
E: The government's lapdogs will probably catch me soon.
E: After all the bad things I've done,
E: it's only right that I breathe my last behind bars.
E: When that time comes,
E: offer bananas over there in my stead.
Shrine,Sign: Hiyoshi Monkey God Shrine
E: It's the second Ape Boy's job.
E: I'm counting on you.
Kon: Hands off, apes!
Kon: These are offerings!
Kon: Don't underestimate a gorilla's grip. I'll crush you to bits!
Kon: Is this it? The Monkey God that the old man worships?
Kon: Huh? Where have I...
Hij: Do you find it unusual?
Hij: Monkeys have long been considered the familiars of Hiyoshigami.
Hij: There are more than a few places that worship them.
Kon: Toshi! What are you doing—
Hij: We both chased a monkey here, right?
Kon: Y-Yeah, that's right!
Kon: I was investigating Ape Boy on my own, and the trail led me here.
Kon: But first, how'd you get those wounds?
Kon: Who did that to you?
Kon: They'll pay for this! I'll make them pay!
Hij: Oh, I just played along with an undercover investigation.
Hij: I had no idea you were capable of such masterful acting.
Hij: I almost wanted to k*ll you.
Hij: And was it really an undercover investigation?
Hij: What if it wasn't? Tell me it was.
Hij: That was an undercover investigation, right?
Kon: O-Of course!
Kon: Never heard of the saying, "To deceive your enemy, first deceive your Toshi"?
W: My, my. Not every day we have so much commotion here.
W: What brings you to this rundown shrine that doesn't even have a priest anymore?
W: Could you be the one leaving bananas and money here every now and then?
Hij: Gran, that's not a monkey.
Hij: Someone comes here to offer money?
W: Yes. Not that I've ever seen him.
W: How eccentric.
W: But thanks to him, the Monkey God revived after being burned down once.
Hij: Burned down? Was there a fire?
W: It happened a long time ago.
W: Back then, the priest gathered the neighborhood kids and ran a temple school,
W: but there was this one problem child.
W: He was a rowdy kid and a serial thief.
W: There were even rumors that he was raised by monkeys.
W: But he stopped stealing once the priest took him under his wing.
W: He was a kind man, you see.
W: That very kindness would prove to be his downfall,
W: as loan sharks took advantage of it
W: and took away not only the shrine, but also the children.
W: The problem child tried to repay his debt to the priest
W: by charging into their base and stealing the kids and the deed to the shrine.
W: But the sharks took their revenge,
W: razing the shrine to the ground.
Hij: What happened to that problem child?
W: Who knows?
W: I haven't seen him since.
Hij: Hear that, Kondo-san?
Hij: As we thought, this place is connected to the Ape Boy.
Hij: That problem child has to be
Hij: him.
Kon: Toshi, you're wrong.
Kon: I think that kid...
W: I hear that brat was up to no good again.
W: Apparently he stole radishes from Takosaku-san's farm.
W: What a horrible child.
W: They say he was raised by monkeys.
E: Don't let it get to you.
E: You're not a monkey.
E: If anything, you're a gorilla,
E: Isao.
Kon: I'm not even human?!
Kon: ...was probably me.
Kon: I thought this place looked familiar.
Kon: I see.
Kon: It was rebuilt after the fire, huh?
Hij: Why'd you show up in the story?!
Kon: Well, I was made to attend both the dojo and the temple school.
Kon: Rather than a problem child, I was just going through my thorny phase.
Kon: Everything about the world turned me on.
Hij: Thorny? More like horny!
Kon: For some reason, radishes got me especially aroused.
Kon: I didn't steal.
Kon: I was just yanking them all out.
Kon: And yet they called me a monkey's child...
Hij: Yanking? You mean w*nk*ng!
W: Wait, are you Isao-kun?
Kon: I thought it might be you...
Hij: Wait, do you know each other? Was she your teacher?
Hij: Loan Shark lady!
W: Isao-kun!
Hij: You're having a touching reunion with the one who burned down your school?
W: You got it all wrong.
W: I was the class madonna, Kori Hanako, a.k.a. Loanie Sharko.
Kori,Sign: Kori Hanako (Loanie Sharko)
W: You're as bad with names as ever, I see.
Hij: How'd a classmate age so much?!
Hij: Also, that's not Kondo-san!
Kon: Sorry, sorry.
Hij: And you haven't gotten over radishes yet?!
Hij: Hey! In the end, who is Ape Boy?
Hij: Did this shrine have nothing to do with him?
Kon: Nah.
Kon: The answer is clear to see.
Kon: There was one person who loved this place,
Kon: and worshipped the Monkey God, more than anyone.
Kon: None other than Sensei.
E: Who cares if they call you a monkey or a gorilla?
E: Look.
E: You need only be like the Sun Monkey God,
E: and become a man as warm as sunshine.
Kon: Can I? Am I really capable of that?
E: You can.
E: In this school, you definitely can.
E: So don't steal anymore.
G: Sensei!
L: If you won't hand over the land, then you leave us no choice.
L: Come by when you've made up your mind to trade the shrine for these kids,
L: Sensei.
G: Isao-kun!
Kon: What are you doing? Run away already!
Deed,Sign: Hiyoshi Shrine Deed
G: The deed!
G: S-Sorry, Sensei. We...
E: Don't tell Isao... about this.
E: You haven't done anything to apologize for.
E: You simply tried to protect this place in the Monkey God's stead.
E: I'm the one who must apologize.
E: Forgive me.
E: I'm no teacher or Monkey God.
E: Just a powerless ape.
W: I still can't forget Sensei's expression from back then.
W: Even he disappeared somewhere after that.
G: How much longer, Sensei?
W: Oh, dear.
Hij: Looks like his temple school was still going.
Hij: Even after losing everything and becoming Ape Boy,
Hij: he hid his identity and the source of the money
Hij: and continued to protect this place.
Kon: It's not just the shrine.
Kon: Sensei...
G: Where are you going?
G: He said he didn't want you coming to the shrine anymore.
G: Said he doesn't want a hooligan like you coming around.
G: Sensei was protecting me, too.
G: And to do it, he even dabbled in the thievery he despised so much.
Hij: That might be his way of atoning for his sins.
Hij: But things can't stay like this.
Hij: We've gotta end this.
Kon: What crimes did he commit?
Kon: All he did was protect the people being oppressed by villains!
Kon: More than that, Sensei doesn't have much time left.
Kon: We could at least let him breathe his last in peace—
Hij: You're saying that?
Hij: After making a promise to him,
Hij: are you really going to say that?
Kon: Toshi...
Kon: I...
Hij: What's up?
Hij: What? The Ape Boy?
P: Find him! Sniff him out!
E: How the mighty have fallen.
E: Looks like a bunch of rides are here to pick me up earlier than expected.
E: But I still have something to do—
G: No need to worry, Gramps.
G: We're not letting the officials have your head.
C: The Ape Boy showed up again.
C: By the time we got here, it was too late.
Hij: You even let the small fry get away?
Hij: Get your white robes ready.
Hij: Check all the shady financiers in the area. There has to be an accomplice somewhere.
C: About that...
C: Every single one of them is completely deserted.
C: It would appear they joined forces and placed traps all over Edo to capture Ape Boy.
C: At this point, we police aren't the only ones chasing him.
C: Criminals all over Edo are after his head.
Hij: Step on it!
Hij: Kondo-san...
Hij: Policeman, or a thief's disciple...
Hij: Feel free to pick whichever you want.
Hij: Wherever you go, I...
Hij: We're ready to follow in your footsteps.
Kon: I get it, Dad.
Kon: I won't ask about the shrine anymore.
Kon: In the end, I couldn't protect a thing, right?
Kon: But in return, I have a favor to ask.
Kon: I want to be strong.
Kon: Strong enough to protect everything.
Hij: One monkey defied his own teachings and
Hij: became a notorious thief to protect all that he cared about.
Hij: The other monkey
Hij: adhered to his teachings and became a policeman to protect all that he cared about.
G: Wh-Who are you?
Hij: That's the only difference between you two.
Hij: Both of you tried to protect something as simply...
Kon: An ape.
G: He took out the lights!
G: Q-Quit freaking out!
G: There's only one enemy. Get him!
G: Wh-What's going on here? Is he really alone?
G: What are you doing? Turn on the light already!
G: What's wrong?
G: Y-You bastards...
G: You can't be a cop or a thief unless you have good night vision.
G: But petty thieves like you, who simply prey on the weak,
G: have no right to live in the day or night!
Kon: Throw them all behind bars!
Kon: Hey, Gramps!
Kon: Pull yourself together!
Kon: Can you hear me? Can you see me?
Kon: Gramps!
E: I can't see a thing...
Kon: Gramps!
E: But I recognize that annoying voice.
E: I'm amazed you overcame that numerical disadvantage.
E: That's the second Ape Boy for you.
Kon: Weren't you the one who taught me the rules of thievery?
Kon: But I'm sorry.
Kon: I couldn't abandon my friends, after all.
Kon: I couldn't leave you as a thief.
Kon: I'm a failure as a disciple.
E: You're not a failure at all.
E: I was also the one who taught you not to steal, wasn't I?
E: You came to stop me this time, right?
E: I knew all along.
E: A nincompoop like you could never be a thief.
E: But you've grown into a fine man,
E: Isao.
E: Now, cuff me before I die,
E: with your own hands.
Kon: What are you talking about, you senile geezer?
Kon: I've had you cuffed for a long time now.
Kon: I'm not letting you escape anymore, you hear me?
Kon: Sensei...
E: That so?
E: These sure are some
E: warm... cuffs...
G: Sensei!
G: Look, there are offerings again!
G: But we missed him again!
G: And here we wanted to find out who he was this time...
W: This isn't a human's doing.
G: What? Is it a demon?
G: A monster monkey?
G: A Saiyan?!
W: It's nothing like that.
W: Welcome home,
W: Monkey God.

W: I still can't forget Sensei's expression from back then.
W: Even he disappeared somewhere after that.
G: How much longer, Sensei?
W: Oh, dear.
Hij: Looks like his temple school was still going.
Hij: Even after losing everything and becoming Ape Boy,
Hij: he hid his identity and the source of the money
Hij: and continued to protect this place.
Kon: It's not just the shrine.
Kon: Sensei...
G: Where are you going?
G: He said he didn't want you coming to the shrine anymore.
G: Said he doesn't want a hooligan like you coming around.
G: Sensei was protecting me, too.
G: And to do it, he even dabbled in the thievery he despised so much.
Hij: That might be his way of atoning for his sins.
Hij: But things can't stay like this.
Hij: We've gotta end this.
Kon: What crimes did he commit?
Kon: All he did was protect the people being oppressed by villains!
Kon: More than that, Sensei doesn't have much time left.
Kon: We could at least let him breathe his last in peace—
Hij: You're saying that?
Hij: After making a promise to him,
Hij: are you really going to say that?
Kon: Toshi...
Kon: I...
Hij: What's up?
Hij: What? The Ape Boy?
P: Find him! Sniff him out!
E: How the mighty have fallen.
E: Looks like a bunch of rides are here to pick me up earlier than expected.
E: But I still have something to do—
G: No need to worry, Gramps.
G: We're not letting the officials have your head.
C: The Ape Boy showed up again.
C: By the time we got here, it was too late.
Hij: You even let the small fry get away?
Hij: Get your white robes ready.
Hij: Check all the shady financiers in the area. There has to be an accomplice somewhere.
C: About that...
C: Every single one of them is completely deserted.
C: It would appear they joined forces and placed traps all over Edo to capture Ape Boy.
C: At this point, we police aren't the only ones chasing him.
C: Criminals all over Edo are after his head.
Hij: Step on it!
Hij: Kondo-san...
Hij: Policeman, or a thief's disciple...
Hij: Feel free to pick whichever you want.
Hij: Wherever you go, I...
Hij: We're ready to follow in your footsteps.
Kon: I get it, Dad.
Kon: I won't ask about the shrine anymore.
Kon: In the end, I couldn't protect a thing, right?
Kon: But in return, I have a favor to ask.
Kon: I want to be strong.
Kon: Strong enough to protect everything.
Hij: One monkey defied his own teachings and
Hij: became a notorious thief to protect all that he cared about.
Hij: The other monkey
Hij: adhered to his teachings and became a policeman to protect all that he cared about.
G: Wh-Who are you?
Hij: That's the only difference between you two.
Hij: Both of you tried to protect something as simply...
Kon: An ape.
G: He took out the lights!
G: Q-Quit freaking out!
G: There's only one enemy. Get him!
G: Wh-What's going on here? Is he really alone?
G: What are you doing? Turn on the light already!
G: What's wrong?
G: Y-You bastards...
G: You can't be a cop or a thief unless you have good night vision.
G: But petty thieves like you, who simply prey on the weak,
G: have no right to live in the day or night!
Kon: Throw them all behind bars!
Kon: Hey, Gramps!
Kon: Pull yourself together!
Kon: Can you hear me? Can you see me?
Kon: Gramps!
E: I can't see a thing...
Kon: Gramps!
E: But I recognize that annoying voice.
E: I'm amazed you overcame that numerical disadvantage.
E: That's the second Ape Boy for you.
Kon: Weren't you the one who taught me the rules of thievery?
Kon: But I'm sorry.
Kon: I couldn't abandon my friends, after all.
Kon: I couldn't leave you as a thief.
Kon: I'm a failure as a disciple.
E: You're not a failure at all.
E: I was also the one who taught you not to steal, wasn't I?
E: You came to stop me this time, right?
E: I knew all along.
E: A nincompoop like you could never be a thief.
E: But you've grown into a fine man,
E: Isao.
E: Now, cuff me before I die,
E: with your own hands.
Kon: What are you talking about, you senile geezer?
Kon: I've had you cuffed for a long time now.
Kon: I'm not letting you escape anymore, you hear me?
Kon: Sensei...
E: That so?
E: These sure are some
E: warm... cuffs...
G: Sensei!
G: Look, there are offerings again!
G: But we missed him again!
G: And here we wanted to find out who he was this time...
W: This isn't a human's doing.
G: What? Is it a demon?
G: A monster monkey?
G: A Saiyan?!
W: It's nothing like that.
W: Welcome home,
W: Monkey God.
