01x03 - MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE

[bunniefuu]

Care to explain why you let
the Akudama get away?

"Execution Department HQ"
"w*r Room Cabaret"
Care to explain why you let
the Akudama get away?

I'm terribly sorry! It's my fault for not--

We don't have any excuse.
Next time, we won't fail.

Of course not. It's our duty
to remove the dregs of society.

We understand.

In any case, they've formed
quite the group this time.

Akudama sometimes band together,
but rarely ones of this class.

I'll send backup.

That won't be necessary.

I'll say it again. Next time, we won't fail.
Not I, nor my partner.

So? What exactly are the Akudama planning?

About that... We discovered
some useful info at the hotel.

"Akudama Drive"

"Kansai"
"Abandoned Factory"

It's too dark to read. Hey,
hacker boy, can I get a glow hand?

No.

I can do 100 in a second!



Look! Hey, are you watching?!
Hey, check this out!

I'd like to go over the mission again.

Swindler, come closer.

Uh, sure.

What I'd like you to do is steal the vault
in the Shinkansen 's front carriage.

Shinkansen ! Now there's a job worth a billion!

C'mon, let's hear it again! Tell us the plan!

Right. First of all, the only way to board
the Shinkansen is through Kansai Station.

For the 20 minutes the Shinkansen is stopped,

"Stopped"
"Arrival Time"
For the 20 minutes the Shinkansen is stopped,

"Stopped"
"Departure Time"
For the 20 minutes the Shinkansen is stopped,

the station's security is disabled
while goods are loaded.

"Locked"
the station's security is disabled
while goods are loaded.

the station's security is disabled
while goods are loaded.

"Unlocked"
the station's security is disabled
while goods are loaded.

And that's when its impenetrable
defenses are wide open.

That's right.

"Kansai Station"
"Entry Prohibited"
It's normally run by robots,
but people take over to allow for loading.

"Substitution"
It's normally run by robots,
but people take over to allow for loading.

It's normally run by robots,
but people take over to allow for loading.

"Arrival"
Our target is the Shinkansen
that arrives tomorrow at 19:00.

"Arrival"
It has the vault we're after.

In other words, we have 20 minutes
to infiltrate the station and steal it.

Huh? Can we do it in 20?

Piece of cake! Just don't slow me down!

I'll make sure the others
stay out of your way, Bro!

Nice! I knew you were a different breed of dude!

Can't we use the tracks?

That would be tough. There's an
electromagnetic barrier blocking the way.

"Kansai Station" "Danger"
"Electromagnetic Barrier"
That would be tough. There's an
electromagnetic barrier blocking the way.

"Kansai Station" "Danger"
"Electromagnetic Barrier"
There's no way through.

There's no way through.

But I like your thinking, Courier.

We'll start by getting through the gate.

Once you're safely inside, take the elevator
to the Shinkansen platform.

That doesn't sound so hard.

Only you would think this plan easy, Swindler.

Uh, um!

The elevator has two start buttons.

Yes. To start the elevator, both buttons
must be pushed at the same time.

But on separate floors
at the exact same time...

What a tricky setup.

It really is.

--What?
--Uh!

I mean, I totally expected
this level of security!

Therefore, we'll split into three groups.

While Swindler, Cutthroat,
and Hacker push the upstairs button,

Doctor, Brawler, and Hoodlum head
downstairs, with Courier working alone.

--Yay! I'm with Swindler!

--Hey, whoa!
--Yay! I'm with Swindler!

Aren't the teams a little bit stacked?

Damn straight! Can those
scrawny little twigs handle it?

Here's hoping y'all don't die!

I divided the teams equally. It's fine.

The platform is just the beginning.

The Shinkansen 's cargo hold has a plasma
field that zaps unregistered cargo.

"Plasma Shield"
"Unregistered"
The Shinkansen 's cargo hold has a plasma
field that zaps unregistered cargo.

"Plasma Shield"
The Shinkansen 's cargo hold has a plasma
field that zaps unregistered cargo.

Geh!

We'll need my bike to move the vault.
You got a plan to get it on board?

Of course. For that, we'll use something
I brought from Kyushu Plant.

To sneak aboard the Shinkansen ,

Hacker will modify the cargo's
registration and climb inside.

He'll enter as a piece of cargo and
turn off the plasma shield from inside.

I see. That's a job only doable by
someone small like me. Interesting.

Once the shield is off,
everyone can move inside.

But the security inside is a black box.
I'm not sure what awaits.

It might be more dangerous
than everything thus far?!

The Shinkansen is the sole
method to reach Kanto.

Things may happen you can't even imagine.

Whatever happens, I'll whoop
the guards or whatever.

Just gimme someone to fight!

Unfortunately...

If the guard's vitals are disrupted,
the alarm will sound.

"Standby"

"Alarm"

In other words, we're not allowed to k*ll?

That's correct.

--Huh?
--What the hell?!

Then what's the point of going?!

Relax, Bro. I've heard there's a guard inside
the station that's stronger than a demon.

--Seriously?! Hell yeah! I'm all fired up!

--How dumb.
--Seriously?! Hell yeah! I'm all fired up!

--Shithead.
--Meathead.
--Seriously?! Hell yeah! I'm all fired up!

--Shithead.
--Meathead.
--Yeah!

I've heard nobody's ever beaten him before!

--What's up, Swindler? Swindler?
--Then I'll be the one who does it first!

Huh? Um, yeah?

Something on your mind?

N-Not at all! I think the plan is flawless!

This is getting worse and worse.

At this rate, I'll really be an Akudama.

I can't run away, either.

It feels like I've strayed so far.

Brr!

Man, you and I get along so well!

You think so?

They act like this, but...
they're Akudama, right?

Move it.

Oh, sorry.

Um, what made you decide
to deliver stuff, Courier?

Um, wait! I guess that's
none of my business, right?!

Forget I asked!

It's where I belong.

Huh?

Belong?

Hello! Bunny here!

'Sup?! It's Shark here!

Shark, hey, Shark! You know about
the Execution Department?

"Kansai Police"
"Execution Department"

"Kansai Police"
"Execution Department"
The Execution Department
is the Kansai Police's elite!

"License to k*ll"
The Execution Department
is the Kansai Police's elite!

"License to k*ll"
They have special powers
to investigate evil Akudama...

"License to k*ll"
...and can sentence and sometimes
even execute them on the spot!

...and can sentence and sometimes

"Elite"

"Elite"
They're a super-elite group that's
both investigator and judge!

"Boss"
They're a super-elite group that's
both investigator and judge!

"Boss"
Yeah, yeah! They're usually a two-man duo
working for the big boss lady!

"Boss"
While lots of them like to put
their combat skills to use,

"Boss"
some specialize in infiltration
and going undercover!

"Boss"
Incredible! With them around,
peace in Kansai is here to stay!

Well, until next time!

"The End"
"Produced by
Kansai"

"Hope"

"North Ward"
"Kansai Station"
"Hope"

"Kansai Station"
"Front Gate"

Good evening. Billiken Transport.

Now then, let's go over
some of the finer details.

First, there's sneaking into Kansai Station.

"Entrance" "Checkpoint"

"Entrance" "Checkpoint"
There's a human guard stationed at the front.
The key to the gate is a seal he carries.

That's why, Swindler, this is a job for you.

Evening. Hmm? You're not
the usual lady who comes.

Y-Yeah. She caught a cold. I'm covering for her.

I see! I hope she gets well soon!

I-I'll let her know. Thanks for your concern.

"Press seal to open"

"Confirmed"
"Gate Opening"

Once you're inside the gate,
next is sneaking through the entrance.

For that, we need to hijack
the cameras and alarms.

That's all you, Hacker.

"Kansai Station"
"Entrance Gate"

Huh?

Perfect. That's Kansai Station for you.
The security here is solid.

We'll be fine for a while,
but let's not screw around.

"Caution"
"Gate Opening"

Whoa! This is nothing like the bus stations!

Because it's operated by Kanto.

"To Kanto"
Because it's operated by Kanto.

What's inside? Why does
the Shinkansen stop here?

Most people don't even know
why it runs in the first place.

"Shinkansen" "Stopped"
Most people don't even know
why it runs in the first place.

It's a black box that people ended up
praying to. Exciting, isn't it?

Exciting, huh?

Yeah. This is fascinating.

I've heard Kanto is beyond compare.
It's perfect in every way.

Someday, I'll escape from crummy
Kansai and make it to Kanto.

Oh, really? You're going to Kanto?

"Elevator Access Here"

There it is.

Let's head upstairs while we still have time.

"Kansai Station"
"Rear Gate"

Now then, let's get ourselves to the basement.

C-Can you guys wait up?!

Hurry up, Swindler!

"Kansai Station"
"Stairs"
Hurry up, Swindler!

"Kansai Station"
"Stairs"
What are you doing?
Don't pretend like you're out of shape.

"Kansai Station"
"Stairs"
I'm not falling

--for any more of your swindler tricks!

--Says the flying guy...
--for any more of your swindler tricks!

Understand? The only way to reach
the Shinkansen platform is aboard the elevator.

Basically, the problem is how to
press the buttons simultaneously.

That's right.

If only we had some sort of signal.

In that case, let's call
each other on the phone!

You can't use phones inside the station.
It was built to block radio waves.

Then, Hacker can just hack into it and--

Hacking isn't magic, you know.
Signals can't penetrate the building.

Were you even listening?

My bad.

We can decide on a time, then.

You'll have to press the buttons
at the exact same second.

It's a plan that requires teamwork.
Can you guys pull it off?

Teamwork, teamwork!

We've gotta get to the button
and push it on time!

Hacker! Can you lend me a drone?!

No way.

Hey! What the hell?! There ain't
any people here, let alone guards!

C-Calm down, Bro! We're close!
The demon is close!

Less than three minutes left.

Huh?

"Open"

Is this it?!

This place seems way different.

What's that red thing?

The elevator switch! If we push that--

Yippee! It's red!

What's the matter?

Well, I didn't think it would be easy.

Ouch!

It's damn strong to block my punch!

Is this it?! The guard that's like a demon?!

Huh?! T-Totally, Bro!

I know how to get past it,
but I'll let you try first!

Two more minutes.

"Kansai Station"
"Train Tracks"

Do you think the plan will work?

Beats me. I'm just waiting for the signal.

Meaning you believe they'll succeed?

I'm just doing my part of the job.

It's nice hearing simple answers like that.
It's very professional.

Wh-What now?! What now?!
We only have two minutes!

If the basement is anything like this,
can those guys pull it off?

Mr. Hacker! Can you try hacking and--?

I'm guessing that's a no.

--Go. Go. Go, go go!
--Argh, think of something, me!
What can I do as a swindler?

--Argh, think of something, me!
What can I do as a swindler?

There's nothing for me to swindle!

Ow! The side is shielded, too! Smart!

The idiot never learns.

What if this doesn't work out?



Uh!

I found this thing's weak point!

Huh?

There's no barrier on this!

It's about time you learn that
the strongest guy always wins!

It's working! Keep throwing, Mr. Cutthroat!
There's one minute left!

Your wish is my command!

Whoa!

Forty seconds.

Amazing! There's still 30 seconds left!
We can time the last throw with a countdown!

Knife...

Huh? What's that?

I threw all of 'em.

What?

What?!

What now?! At this rate, we're doomed!

Huh?

Here's the last one!

Ten seconds left.

--Mr. Hacker! I'm borrowing a drone!

--Huh? I told you, no!
--Mr. Hacker! I'm borrowing a drone!

Okay! Leave the switch to me!

Go!

Three seconds.

Two! One!

Ow, ow, ow... Huh?

We did it!

Now we can get to the platform!

My knife...

My drone...

Hmm?

I was worried you guys didn't pull it off.

If the elevator moved, we obviously did.
How dumb can you be?

Huh?

What are you doing?

Let's get moving!

Uh, right!

" Shinkansen Platform"

It's so big! So this is the Shinkansen !

We're not here to sightsee.
We need to hurry and get inside.

Good point! Mr. Hoodlum, it's time for "that"!

Huh? Oh!

What is this even?

It's something I brought from Kyushu Plant.

"Safety First"

"Safety First"
But what is it?

"Safety First"
It will disable the platform's
electromagnetic barrier.

"Safety First"
With this, Courier can
drive right in, bike and all.

I'll go as soon as the barrier's down.

Please do.

Hacker. Once you get inside the Shinkansen
and disable the plasma field--

Everyone can rush on board.

Yes. And that completes our
invasion of Kansai Station.

The fate of the entire plan rests upon my hand!

--We push this, right?

--W-Wait!
--We push this, right?

"Hope"

"Hope"

The signal.

"Emergency"

--This is...!
--Red lights, so pretty!

--I've got a bad feeling.
--Red lights, so pretty!

Due to an emergency, the Shinkansen
will depart in 60 seconds.

Finish loading cargo immediately.

I repeat...

No way! Hacker, hurry and get inside!

My power got cut off, too.
I wasn't able to modify all the data.

Huh? You mean...?

Even if I get in the box,
the shield will turn me to dust.

You're kidding! Courier is already--

There's still hope.

Huh?

The only value I hadn't
overwritten was the weight.

The original contents weigh less
than I do, so I won't clear the check.

But if it's someone who's lighter than me...

The only one who might weigh less...

I'll do it!

Are you sure you weigh less than me?

Only jerks ask girls about their weight!

Whoa!

Um, um...!

"Six"
Um, um...!

Um, um...!

There!

C'mon!

Move... you... sh*t...!

Perfect.

Thank goodness!

You're kidding!

But this is Kansai Station!

Emergency start.

The Shinkansen starting was unexpected,
but that's one challenge cleared.

Now then...

The real challenge starts now.

Who in the world are you guys?
