Hotspring Sharkattack (2024)

[bunniefuu]

MONACO OF THE EAST: ATSUMI

OFF THE COAST OF ATSUMI CITY

Why?

I'm getting married soon

to the daughter of my dad's client.

Help!

Help!

Oh, no!

No!

This is the Japanese Coast Guard.

My girlfriend fell off the boat

and was attacked by a shark!

Please calm down.

What is your current location?

Off the coast of Atsumi.

Seriously?

Huh? Come on!

You? How did you...

Spa Resort Atsumi is currently

under construction in Atsumi City,

also known as the Monaco of the East.

RESORT COMPLEX IN ATSUMI

Construction of a large complex,

led by the mayor, is drawing attention.

The rooftop open-air bath, at 120 meters,

is the highest in Japan.

You can even bungee jump after a dip.

MAYOR OF ATUMI CITY

With the introduction of the world's

most advanced architectural 3D printer,

the construction time

has been greatly reduced.

I was able to check it out for a bit,

and the parts were produced

at tremendous speed.

The mayor speaks highly

of the economic benefits from the plan,

but there seems to be some opposition

from the local community.

AFTER CM

MANY SHARK ATTACKS IN ATUMI!

ATSUMI POLICE STATION

DENBEI TSUKA, ATSUMI CITY POLICE CHIEF

A - TSU - MI

I'm thinking about becoming a novelist.

Hear about Cho?

He's getting divorced at that age.

KOHEI HANAKO, CHIEF OF POLICE AFFAIRS

You work hard for years, retire

and then suddenly become lazy,

which creates problems at home.

I'm retiring this year too.

I need to really think about

the next chapter.

A police novel written

by a former police chief.

Imagine going on a hot springs tour

across Japan with the royalties.

Before you talk about royalties,

why not work so you can receive

your full pension?

Here.

I guess I'll be stamping documents

until the last moments of my career.

Wherever you walk, there's a hot spring.

That's what Atsumi is like.

This stupid mayor.

What's the point of building more?

Chief, you haven't written

anything at all yet.

You said you were gonna be a manga artist,

but you gave up right away.

You only read gossip magazines.

How could you possibly become a novelist?

Chief!

What's going on?

I'm neither a coroner nor a biologist,

but judging from the teeth marks,

it's likely the work of a shark.

Don't think we have enough coroners

in Atsumi. Do we have an identity?

Just that it's a woman.

I can't find her head injury, her ID

or even a shred of her clothing.

Find it! You're saying

the shark ate the clothes too?

Or maybe she's an idiot

who went out into the sea naked.

SHO SAEKI, OFFICER

Anyway, it was an accident

caused by a shark.

The victims of the two previous accidents

have yet to be identified.

CORONER

What's that?

Locker keys from a hot spring.

Why are they here?

-Are you sure it was the victim's?

-Listen, Chief, this is our jurisdiction.

Please stop interfering

and get back to your own work.

You guys at the scene

are always like that...

It's me.

Yup. What?

Told you, just don't cause

a commotion, that's it.

BE AWARE!

SHARK ATTACKS OCCURRING!

It's almost tourist season.

Don't you know how hard it is to stop

rumors spreading in this social media age?

KANICHI MANGAN, MAYOR

Well, your generation

can't get it of course.

We're not allowed

to get involved with shark control.

TANAKA - SATO - MIZOGUCHI

AD AGENCY

We can at least

warn the public about sharks.

The police's job

is to solve missing person cases!

These rumors are causing

damages to the city's reputation.

I don't want to have to explain this

to the Department Chief either.

Chief, you want to get

your full retirement benefits, right?

Well, yes.

Don't worry.

No one thinks about the future

of Atsumi more than me.

We've called an accomplished shark expert.

Leave it to me.

Anyway, look at this sh*t here!

I found this at a souvenir store.

It's got my face printed on it.

Impressive! People love you so much,

your image is on merchandise.

My face should be on steamed buns!

Isn't it your job

to police this kind of thing?

Your name isn't written anywhere.

This man could be your doppelganger.

It's a good design.

Let's use one at our station.

Did you say something?

This town has changed a lot.

Another visitor disappeared

at a hot spring last night.

MISSING PERSON TASK FORCE

Again, their clothes and personal

belongings were left in their lockers.

This is the third in a row.

Was it an incident or an accident?

LOCAL SECURITY DIVISION OFICRES

The victim was not seen on CCTV.

There are no clues.

What the hell's going on in Atsumi City?

Three people missing.

Anyway, it was an accident

caused by a shark.

The victims of the two previous accidents

have yet to be identified.

Three shark attack victims.

Locker keys from a hot spring.

Are you sure it was the victim's?

Man, full-body dip is the best.

This is why I can't stand tourists.

KEEP OUPLEASE DON'T ENTER

The victim is Shusuke Hirata,

Professor of Marine Biology

at Jonan University.

FOURTH DEATH IN ATSUMI

The Mayor of Atsumi

Yuatari! Yuatari!

We've got great news for you today!

GREAT NEWS

Listen up!

You'll be invited to the grand opening

party of Spa Resort Atsumi

if you can immediately make your way

to Atsumi and k*ll the sharks!

MISSING PERSON INCIDENTS

The DNA left behind at the hot spring

matched the three shark victims.

In other words, the missing people

and the shark victims are the same.

I guess these two unrelated incidents

were connected after all.

But that would mean the victims were naked

when they left the hot springs.

Why would they do that?

Also, the fourth victim

who was found this morning

disappeared right in front of the Chief.

MAYUMI KOSE, MARINE BIOLOGY LAB

AT JONAN UNIVERSITY

AUTOPSY ROOM

Mayumi Kose works at the same lab

as the victim.

They were visiting Atsumi together.

The body is so mauled,

it's a good idea to show it to the family.

I can't believe that full-body dipping man

was the shark expert

that the stupid mayor mentioned.

What goes around comes around, huh?

Please stop that.

Strangely, no one saw

the victim going outside,

and there's nothing

on the security cameras.

I don't get it.

How is that possible?

It doesn't make any sense.

You're kidding.

I'm very sorry,

but we would appreciate it

if you can answer some questions later.

These teeth marks don't match

the species of sharks in this area.

That's unbelievable.

-Professor!

-Hey, knock it off! Stop!

It's fons calidus!

It's the teeth of a fossil!

Are there any more in his luggage?

Please bring it over!

This is major! This is amazing!

-Professor!

-Call for backup. Immediately!

Sharks are very cautious

and do not normally attack humans.

So I've had strong doubts

about these shark attacks.

PROF. HIRATA, JONAN UNIVERSITY

Excuse me, I'm Kose

from the Marine Biology Lab

at Jonan University.

Dr. Kose, it's clear that shark attacks

are happening in Atsumi.

Yes, that's why Dr. Hirata

and I were called here.

Our goal is to assess the damage

and implement safety measures.

A single goal? That's it?

This is Carcharodon fons calidus.

It's a species of shark that lived

in the Cenozoic Era but is now extinct.

It's a fossil of the tooth.

We came here to excavate

after receiving a report

that these fossils were discovered

at the large spa construction site.

So, that came from that hot spring site.

The city probably assumed

it was no great discovery

after summoning us.

They halted our investigation

after we told them

that actually, the finding

was worth looking into.

Can you believe it?

I just proposed a delay

in the construction

so we can investigate further.

But Dr. Hirata crossed the line,

demanding that an entire building

be taken down for conservation.

Of course they're not going to cooperate.

Dr. Hirata was completely out of his mind.

He's usually a nice person, though.

Excuse me, Doc.

We want to know about the shark attacks

that are happening today.

The teeth marks left on Dr. Hirata's body

seem to match those of fons calidus.

In other words, you're saying

the culprit behind all of this

is a shark that's been revived

from ancient times.

-Culprit?

-Culprit is a shark?

There have been instances of lotus seeds

blooming after 3,000 years.

The primordial energy

exceeds our imagination.

There is nothing biologically unusual

about the resurrection of ancient sharks.

Well, if you're telling me

to believe it...

Let's just say there is a revived shark,

what's the connection

with the disappearances at hot springs?

I'm sorry, but with regard to that,

we're still...

That's our job to find out.

Anyway, thanks to the professor,

we've got physical evidence.

So forget about that stupid mayor,

proceed to block off

-the surrounding areas of the ocean asap.

-Well, we have an issue.

Hello! Today, I'm out in the ocean

near Atsumi!

There's not that many people.

What are you talking about?

Look at the number of people in the rain.

The weather in Atsumi

changes very frequently.

Look, it's becoming sunny over here.

More people are making their way here,

so we're on a roll!

Yeah! They're all influencers, I see.

This will be trending!

Love Shark Channel! Shark!

Shark!

Influencers?

The people who come to these events

are good for nothing.

Hold on. We're talking about

some violent sharks, right?

We're going to be in serious trouble

if there are any more victims.

I'm saying we're trying to take measures.

You see...

There's a shark!

Shark! Help!

What's going on? That's not what you said!

It's not supposed to be like this.

It's a shark. I'm gonna capture it!

Hey, stop the shark! Come on!

What can we do?

Come on, stop it. What should we do?

NO SWIMMING ALLOWED

Don't let anyone get close to the sea!

Get the ship over here now!

Hurry up! Come on!

Tada!

YOU WERE PRANKED

Get off of me! I'm going viral! Viral!

Unfortunately, we weren't able

to locate the shark,

but I'm happy to invite you all

to the hot springs in Atsumi

as a token of my appreciation!

And you can even film it!

Feel free to share and promote it

on your accounts, everyone!

-As for that yellow buoy...

-Knock before you enter!

What if I was a teenager?

That yellow buoy floating in the sea,

it's a smart buoy which generates

electric currents that sharks can't stand.

There are nets attached to the buoys

surrounding the Atsumi area.

ATSUMI CITY - BUOY

Yeah, the sharks can't approach

the Atsumi area.

I'm writing

this pointless letter of apology!

I wonder if I could be a vlogger

after retiring.

Tell me, you think I can be

one of those female avatars?

Fisheries Cooperative Association

placed the buoy last night

when there were no sharks in the area.

Thanks to the late doctor, right?

Dr. Kose should have told me

if she knew...

The fourth victim was found

early this morning, right?

Yup

When did you meet the victim

at the hot spring?

That was last night.

There were no signs

that a shark had breached the guard nets.

Congratulations on reaching

10,000 subscribers!

I'm gonna take a bath

for 10,000 seconds to celebrate!

10,000 SECS BATHING CHALLENGE

One, two, three, four, five...

13, 14, 15, 16...

Take a look at this!

The hot spring is amazing!

Let me introduce you to the charm

of the hot springs in Atsumi.

Please send a Super Chat! Please!

Today, we're at a hot spring in Atsumi

where sharks are rumored to lurk.

Amazing here.

"We hope you guys

don't get attacked by a shark!"

-She will kick the sh*t out of it.

-Hey! Knock it off!

Do the usual thing.

I use my neck to imitate a thumb.

Three, two, one.

Was it good?

-Yeah.

-Super cool?

HOW DID SHARK BREAK NET?

Sharks are cartilaginous fish.

They have skeletons made of cartilage

rather than bone.

Shark fossils other than teeth

are exceptionally rare.

So the fons calidus,

as a primitive cartilaginous fish,

their bodies were softer

than modern sharks.

They may have eaten

ancient turtles and fish

by taking advantage of their softness.

That was Dr. Hirata's theory.

Fons calidus has also been found

in Saturnia, Bath and Beitou.

It's believed they lived in warm waters

close to submarine volcanoes in the ocean.

So it's not that unusual

to find fossils in Atsumi.

The colder temperatures of Atsumi Bay

can't be suitable for them.

So I think the sharks

that k*lled people in Atsumi

are living in the hot spring veins

all across the city.

Are you saying

sharks are swimming underground?

Sharks living right under us?

Please hear me out.

Let's say the fons calidus

took advantage of its flexible body

to swim through the pipes

in order to prey on people

and drag them underground.

The victims, including Dr. Hirata,

were reduced to pieces

and washed up on the shore.

The shark didn't come from outside Atsumi.

There must be a hot spring source near

the guard net, with hot water gushing out.

It's true that we know

nothing about sharks, but...

You're saying sharks come in and out

of the hot springs and attack people?

I think that's one way to explain

these incidents.

Well, that's going a bit far.

You guys are extremely

intelligent scholars,

but it's hard for us normal people

to comprehend. Right?

What's wrong, guys?

According to an additional report

from the crime lab,

the cause of death of the victims was

a compound fracture caused by compression.

Compression?

I thought they were mauled to death.

There were no actual signs

of a common shark attack.

The cause of death seems to be from shock

due to fractures

caused by forcibly being dragged

into confined or narrow spaces.

What do you mean, confined space?

Like being dragging into

the hot spring pipes?

Scientific name, Carcharodon fons calidus,

a fierce shark that attacks people

in Atsumi's hot springs.

In Japanese

that would be "onsen shark."

Hey, everybody!

Today, I'm at a hot spring in Atsumi.

It's not just any hot spring.

This is where one of the victims

was attacked by the shark!

I heard if you bathe here,

you will get attacked by the shark.

I'm gonna verify the rumor for myself!

Ready?

Go!

Ouch!

sh*t!

10,000 SECS BATHING CHALLENGE

Go away!

Oh, no!

Emergency call!

Shark attacks at hot spring facilities

across Atsumi city.

There have been many casualties!

Evacuate everyone

from the hot springs immediately!

-We gotta go!

-Right!

Repeat. Shark attacks at

hot spring facilities across Atsumi city.

There have been many casualties.

A shark has been spotted in this hotel.

-Please evacuate immediately.

-Run!

ATSUMI HOT SPRINGS

MIYAKO HOT SPRING

Please evacuate! Quickly!

Atsumi Grand Hotel evacuation completed.

Yes, understood. Right.

It's noisy.

Look.

It's a footbath.

As expected from Atsumi City.

There is a hot spring

in a place like this.

Was this footbath

in the tourist guidebook?

-Who cares? Let's go for a dip!

-Really?

Run!

It's a trap set by the shark!

What's with this guy?

Seems like hot spring sharks,

because of their flexible bodies,

are swimming in and out of the city.

This is the

Atsumi Emergency Broadcast System.

Hot spring sharks are now

attacking people in the city.

Please evacuate

to a safe place immediately

and stay away from any hot springs.

Repeat.

This is Atsumi!

We can't get away from hot springs!

Where should we evacuate to?

Today, in Atsumi city...

ATSUMI CITY HALL

Sharks appeared and many citizens...

MANY k*lled BY HOT SPRING SHARKS

Why? Atsumi city is...

It's all your fault!

You didn't handle the shark problem.

What are you saying?

You're the one who suggested

we pressure the media!

Here's the b*llet train ticket.

I'll say goodbye to Atsumi.

Reporting live from Atsumi Station.

Due to the hot spring sharks,

a hot spring gushed out onto the tracks.

A train was thrown into the air.

HOT SPRING EXPLODED

The b*llet train is now

flying towards City Hall!

Someone!

Someone, help me!

Someone, help me!

Mayor!

-Chief!

-Chief!

Hey, Chief!

Chief!

The shark,

it's crying.

In fact, the large-scale construction

led by the Mayor Kanichi Mangan

and the sloppy drilling of hot springs

have revived these vicious sharks

that were sleeping underground.

WHY SHARKS APPEARED?

It's terrible, the hot spring sharks.

We love to dip in the hot springs.

To enjoy the hot springs here in Atsumi,

we really need to get rid of the sharks.

-Sharks move freely between hot springs.

-No way.

I love hot springs.

-What should we do if attacked?

-No! I don't wanna get eaten.

LIVE

ONTAWARA CITY

I'm broadcasting live from Ontawara City,

neighboring Atsumi City.

Currently, both roads and railways

connecting Atsumi

are completely blocked due to the damage

caused by the hot spring sharks.

The Self-Defense Forces

launched a rescue helicopter operation...

EVACUATION SHELTER

...but it will take some time

to evacuate all the citizens.

Please calm down!

There are no hot springs under here.

Don't panic when you hear a shark.

BATH IS DANGEROUS!

ANTI-HOT SPRING SHARK UNIGROUND SELF-DEFENSE FORCE

Target confirmed! Prepare to fire!

Currently, the Special Forces

are conducting their operation

in the biggest bath of this hotel.

High concentration of methane gas!

Fire!

It's frightening that hot spring sharks

carry a high concentration of methane

in their bodies, which are utilized

as an offensive and defensive barrier.

So using firearms against them

is not an option.

Attacks by hot spring sharks

have subsided for now,

but the risk of them attacking

remains high across the city.

Mom, I wanna bathe in a hot spring.

No! Sharks could attack us!

How can I live without bathing?

Sharks can't appear in bathtubs at home.

SUBMERSIBLE "SHACHI-GOH"

LENGTH: 61 METERS, HEIGHT 7.2 METERS

SPECIAL SUBMERSIBLE "SHACHI-GOH"

This new submersible is our last hope.

JMSFD

This armored submarine

should withstand the sharks' explosions.

It'll be a piece of cake.

Submerge in ten seconds.

Ten, nine, eight...

Bow number seven went down!

We are under EMP attacks!

No way!

Where the hell are they coming from?

Damn! We are gonna explode!

Sharks have special organs

called ampullae of Lorenzini

that can sense electric fields

generated by nearby prey.

In the hot spring sharks,

it is highly developed,

so they can utilize EMP

to disable electronic devices.

TOKYO, CAPITAL

Currently, the hot spring sharks

are staying within Atsumi city,

but we don't know when they will

expand their reach beyond the city.

Considering the irreversible impact

it may have on citizens' lives

and to maintain a healthy economy,

the Japanese government

has decided to destroy Atsumi city.

What are you talking about, PM?

The evacuation rate

has now progressed to 95%.

Are you destroying the city

to get rid of the sharks?

That's too much!

I went to Atsumi for my honeymoon.

But the hot spring shark is a threat

far beyond our imaginations!

If this is not resolved,

it'll be devastating

to the country's tourism industry,

or even the very existence

of this country!

HOT SPRING SHARK RELATED INFO

A fusillade by a joint fleet of the SDF

and the US military in Japan

under the Japan-US Security Treaty

will destroy Atsumi city, along with

the hot spring sharks tomorrow morning.

AYAKO TSUKA, THE CHIEF'S WIFE

You're the mayor, Kanichi Mangan?

Yes.

DENBEI AND AYAKO TSUKA

My husband survived.

But he's suffering from an infection

caused by ancient pathogens

from the bite wounds.

In order to treat him,

we require a vaccine

extracted from the fins of the shark.

But there's no way to get it.

I won't evacuate.

I will stay in this city

that my husband loved.

Idiot son!

You were born to follow in my footsteps,

become the mayor of Atsumi

and to further develop the city.

Father?

Do what you need to do at all costs.

TETSUZAEMON MANGAN, FORMER MAYOR

What was the point

of the royal studies I taught you?

You seriously think that building

is noblesse oblige?

I was brought up to live for this city...

But I was useless.

To top it all off, the damn sharks...

Whether you built that or not,

hot spring sharks were revived.

They have three pairs of gill slits!

Three!

A typical shark has five

or seven symmetrical gill slits.

Maybe hot spring sharks have evolved

into a completely different species

that just resemble the sharks we know.

Tomorrow,

this city will be destroyed

after to the Bath Buster Call.

You should evacuate quickly.

Someone needs to investigate

the hot spring shark.

You don't think that's dangerous?

Pliny the Elder,

who wrote Natural History,

died during his study

of volcanic eruptions.

That's just what scholars do.

I'm not sure if you're my ideal

of what a scholar should be.

So, what do you want from me?

Just as I thought!

There wasn't just one hot spring shark.

Amazing!

This is the vitality of life, Kanichi!

-Amazing!

-Are you out of your mind?

What should we do?

You!

Hold on!

I'm thankful for your help.

But I can handle this on my own.

Evacuate now, both of you!

I just...

I just need to catch one,

for a vaccine, to save the Chief.

But how am I supposed

to go against a hot spring shark?

I have an idea!

Hot spring sharks live in the

underground network of the hot springs.

So I think the best way is to get them

down the sewers and terminate them.

But the SDF's submersible

was destroyed, right?

How do you plan to get in there?

So, Kanichi,

I want you to print the new armored

submersible with the 3D printer.

But they have those

electromagnetic attacks, right?

Do you have a solution for that?

Let's equip the submersible with a barrier

for electromagnetic wave protection.

My university friends and experts have

been helping me redesign the submersible.

It's got an electromagnetic shield

and effective weapons

against the hot spring sharks.

The exterior seems okay.

How about the internal control systems

and machinery?

3D printers surely have their limits.

Don't worry about it.

CRASH SITE OF SPECIAL SUBMERSIBLE

"SHACHI-GOH"

We will reuse salvageable parts

and weapons from the damaged submarine.

ANTI-HOT SPRING SHARK SUBMERSIBLE

"ATSUMI MARU"

Wow, that's one cutting-edge 3D printer.

I can't believe

it produced a catapult too.

Thank you, Doc.

It's finished five hours earlier

than expected.

I see you've mastered this thing quickly.

I've always been good at studies.

We've been found.

The outfitting is not finished yet!

Just need some more time...

Hot spring shark!

Mr. Hanako?

Bring it on, you freak!

Here's your favorite scent, blood!

Kanichi Mangan!

You better k*ll those hot spring sharks

or I'll never forgive you!

Solar guidance sensors, activated.

Shield test, clear.

All clear.

Hey, Doc, do you have experience

with submersibles?

-No.

-What?

Anti-hot spring Shark Submersible

"Atsumi Maru," now launching!

At three o'clock, the ocean temperature

is higher than the surrounding area.

That's most likely

where the sharks are lurking!

Rising temperatures,

55, 56, 57 degrees Celsius.

You're a fast learner!

I've always been good at studies.

It's a submarine sandwich. You want some?

What are you eating...

Wait, you can speak?

No, thank you.

It's tasteless, like prison food.

I know it's a bit late to ask,

but who the hell are you, Macho?

Now that you mention it,

I don't have any information about you.

You didn't even know who he was?

That's weird.

No idea.

I just have this memory of being born

in a town with an ocean view.

It's so hot that even the local kids

would run away from it.

Can't believe a living thing

can exist at this temperature.

There's a protozoan fish

called Alcolapia grahami

in Lake Magadi in Kenya.

Hot spring sharks, which have

an abnormally high body temperature,

combine the flexibility

of cartilaginous fish

with the mobility of homeotherms.

I think it may be

the strongest creature alive.

What do you think about that, Kanichi?

Approaching objects confirmed,

three of them.

Wasting no time, huh?

All righty!

-Ready?

-Not yet.

-Are you ready?

-Not yet.

Do something or they'll get us!

Low electromagnetic waves detected.

It's generating electricity.

Now!

Fire the harpoon!

-We've got one more to go!

-Wait!

sh*t, I missed one! Macho, load it up...

Macho?

Target... No response at all.

It's Morse code!

A well-trained human

can theoretically function underwater

for about three minutes.

We've contained the situation.

Mission complete.

We can now make the vaccine.

Great job, Macho. Come back here.

Hey...

We got rid of all the sharks

and saved Atsumi, right?

Hey, Doc.

I...

A massive school of sharks!

Ten, twenty, thirty...

No, there are over 100!

I can't believe this many sharks

have survived this long underground.

Life is so fascinating.

Macho!

I need to refill my oxygen.

Doc, what should we do?

Doc!

I...

Turning 180 degrees at full throttle!

Fire dummy balloons!

We were under Spa Resort Atsumi

during our last face-off.

If we can lure them there

and blow up the foundation,

we may crush them

with the rubble from the building.

Let's not.

With all the effort put into building it,

it's not worth it.

It was built for the sake of the city.

It's for the people of Atsumi.

It's not possible, too dangerous.

What's up? You suddenly become timid?

Aren't we here to save Atsumi?

-Tell me if there's another way...

-Those hot spring sharks,

creatures that revived after

being in darkness for a very long time,

they're only attacking people

out of desperation

and for survival.

If we research a bit more,

we might even be able to coexist.

Coexist?

Because of them,

Atsumi is about to be burnt to ashes!

I understand!

They've taken Dr. Hirata too.

But I'm faced with the choice

to see a species

wiped out before my own eyes.

I never thought

I would have to do such a thing.

I'm just

an arrogant person.

Release of hot spring shark, complete.

I bet the SDF will pick up the signal

and deliver the vaccine to the Chief.

Since that cage became an escape pod,

we have no choice

but to complete the operation.

Is it okay

that you didn't go back with it?

If there's anyone

who should deal with this,

it would be me.

It's my responsibility to be here.

Let me tell you something interesting.

If I demolish that building,

I'll be left with a debt

of 200 billion yen.

200 billion?

What are you gonna do?

What should I do?

Are you mocking me?

Let's all make it back alive.

Weigh anchor!

Release the fake blood.

There!

-Look out!

-Leave it to me.

I've got your back.

-We're surrounded.

-The leadership...

Hot spring sharks

may have a social hierarchy as well.

But...

-We're right below the target!

-Bow up 90 degrees, just above the target.

Unlock torpedo.

Target, Spa Resort Atsumi. Aim.

Target, check!

Fire!

Target hit. We can do this!

Firing again!

All the fake blood, released!

Crash dive!

-Yes!

-We did it!

Yes!

What happened?

That's 200 billion yen worth of rubble!

Come on. While there's life, there's hope.

The reason for their sociability,

the hot spring sharks have a leader.

That aside, the crest,

it's like a crown.

The one in charge

of all the hot spring sharks,

it's the king of the hot spring sharks!

What do we do? We're out of ammunition!

I don't know what to say!

Macho!

There should be

at least one backup m*ssile.

Impressive!

A shark's weak spot is its snout!

If you can target the snout...

It's no use.

Their physiques are simply too different.

Macho.

Wake up, Macho! The shark is coming!

Macho!

It's over.

Everything's over.

We're finished.

So is the city of Atsumi.

Wait a minute.

The sonar is picking up something.

It's Morse code.

Macho is still...

I manage to survive inside the belly.

His body is filled

with high concentrations of methane

that comes from hot springs.

If we can ignite it,

we should be able to blow it up.

But if we do that, you will be...

I'll create an opportunity

and leave the rest to you guys.

Kanichi Mangan and Mayumi Kose,

you were my only two friends.

-I'm happy I was able to fight with you.

-Oh, no!

I can't do that.

Do it! For the future of Atsumi!

Drop dead, you son of a b*tch!

Darling!

It's been a month

since the hot spring shark tragedy.

Signs of recovery

are beginning to appear in Atsumi.

The whole town

is beginning to regain its liveliness.

KANICHI - STEAMED BUNS

NO NEED TO FEAR HOT SPRING SHARKS!

As expected from Atsumi.

Who could imagine there'd be a hot spring

in a place like this?

This isn't in any tourist guidebook.
