01x08 - The Kuroyuri Party

[bunniefuu]

THE KUROYURI PARTY

[indistinct chatter]

- [man gasps]

- [crowd cheering]

[man] Good evening, my friends!

Members of the electorate!

[crowd cheering]

[woman] So you failed again?

[man] My apologies.

Their vigilance towards us

is off the charts.

I'm not surprised.

But I do have a backup plan in place.

[unsettling music playing]

[opening theme playing]

MISSION: YOZAKURA FAMILY

PLAN 8

THE KUROYURI PARTY

- [pleasant music playing]

- [Mutsumi humming]

[Taiyo] Mutsumi asked me

to help her with an errand.

But where are we going

with all this stuff?

[children giggling]

[man laughs]

[laughing, talking indistinctly]

[Mutsumi] Oh, there you are!

It's been a long time, Lady Mutsumi.

- I'm counting on you today, Sui!

- [Taiyo gasping]

- You're looking as moronic as ever.

- Eh

You know him?

We've rubbed shoulders as colleagues.

It's an honor.

That said, I should let you know

that I'm still mad

about the incident with Nanao and Taiyo.

[Sui] Feel free.

I was only doing my mission.

Anyway, let's get going.

The Hinagiku leader is waiting.

[Taiyo] Oh

Leader?

CABINET OFFICE BUILDING

[Mutsumi] Taiyo! What are you doing?

Come on!

- [shop bell rings]

- [Taiyo] Eh? Oh!

HINAGIKU

[door opens, closes]

[Taiyo] A café?

[barista] Welcome.

Three Hinagiku Ultra Super Totally Deluxe

Gigantic Crazy Special

Monster Extreme Caffè Lattes, please.

[Taiyo] Did a grade schooler

come up with that name?!

Very good, sir.

[Taiyo] It actually exists?!

- [barista] Enjoy your drinks.

- [coffee machine dings]

Huh?

- Whoa!

- [upbeat music playing]

300 meters till we reach the lowest level.

We're an intelligence unit

supporting the government

literally behind the scenes.

[Sui] Welcome to Hinagiku.

We have a little time

before we reach the chief's office.

Drink your latte before it gets cold.

Thanks!

The Hinagiku-let's-skip-the-rest

Extreme Caffè Latte?

And you've got some nerve,

holding Mutsumi like that.

It's dangerous, so I must.

You need to look ahead yourself

or you'll be k*lled.

- What?

- [whoosh]

[Sui] These are traps

for both security and training.

Let your guard down and you'll be

ground beef before we reach the bottom.

I only came because I was asked! [screams]

[Sui] That's the entrance

to the chief's office.

[Taiyo] Whoa.

[sneezes]

[Sui] Hey, if you don't move out

of the way now, you'll get crushed.

Nice of you to come

Mr. and Mrs. Yozakura!

[gravel crunching]

Uh?

Can a weakling like you

really keep Mutsumi safe?

[gasps]

[chomps loudly]

Yum!

I can taste

your love and kindness, Mutsumi!

The tea you brought back from

your overseas mission smells divine!

Thanks so much for coming, Mutsumi.

Now I feel motivated for my next mission!

I should be thanking you!

This is such a nice breather for me.

See, Rin's a former classmate

of Big Bro Kyoichiro's,

and she throws tea parties like this

- from time to time.

- [moaning]

[chuckles]

[Taiyo] So the errand

was a tea party at Hinagiku?

And her bag was just full of sweets?

Don't say that

sister-obsessed dirtbag's name around me.

It'll ruin the taste of my cake!

[Mutsumi] She and Big Bro

are like oil and water.

[chuckles lightly]

Because I think anyone

who would shackle this adorable girl

ought to be drawn and quartered!

In this industry full of psychos,

she's like an oasis for my dried-up soul!

Though they are alike

in this particular way!

[Rin] That's why I wanted you

to marry a guy

capable of protecting you

from that pervert.

But this isn't gonna cut it.

[Taiyo] This proximity! I can't take it!

[Rin] I heard about you from Sui,

you know.

- He called you a scumbag turd.

- [Taiyo gasps]

No one speaks in such

a vulgar manner but you, Chief.

All I said was that as a spy,

he's lower than low, excrement.

[Taiyo] That's basically the same thing!

That's not true, Rin. Taiyo's soul

is just as strong as Big Bro's.

Well, if you say so,

Mutsumi, it must be so.

[Rin] That said, have you spoken to him

about [breath shakes]

[Taiyo and Mutsumi gasp]

[Kyoichiro] The only ones capable

of blocking our GPS is Hinagiku.

All right, hand over Mutsumi. Or else

- [continues speaking inaudibly]

- [comedic beeping]

Oh, please!

[Rin] So, you decided

to show your face, pervert.

We're in the middle of a tea party.

Get the hell out of here.

[Kyoichiro] Shut up.

Just being in the presence of a vulgar

female gorilla will corrupt Mutsumi.

Male jealousy is so unseemly, isn't it?

[Rin] Rin Punch!

You really think you can slash me

with those shoddy wires?

How should I butcher and package

that body you're so proud of?

[man over PA] Emergency code

Cherry Blossom Snow!

Everyone in the building,

please evacuate immediately! Repeat

Hey, this is bad, isn't it?

Come on, why does this always happen?

This always happens?

I'll stop them.

You two head for the emergency exit.

Sui! That's crazy!

It should be me

Get lost.

You're in the way, Sui.

[grunts]

- Die

- Die

[Kyoichiro] Mutsumi?

[Rin] Move

[grunts]

Taiyo!

[yelps]

[Mutsumi] You two

If either of you cause

any more trouble for everyone

I'll never speak to you again.

[both gasp]

[body thuds]

Sorry! Please forgive me, Mutsumi!

[crying]

Really!

[Rin] Hey, but you know what?

He's tougher than he looks.

Right? Didn't I say so?

He's my husband, after all.

[Rin] I see. This one could actually

[Rin] Taiyo, I need to speak with you.

Go undercover to investigate a politician?

[Rin] The Dancing Politician,

Yoshimasa Kuroyuri.

[Kuroyuri] Free education.

Pension normalization.

Reduction of consumer tax.

The one who pulled off

the Kuroyuri Revolution,

the hero of Japan!

That's yours truly,

the leader of the Kuroyuri Party

Yoshimasa Kuroyuri!

We are

[crowd chanting] Kuroyuri! Kuroyuri

[Rin] His appearance belies the fact

that he's the politician

with the most momentum right now.

But there's a lot of bloodshed

behind all his achievements.

Fixtures in the political spy rankings,

the triplet spies, Red, Blue, Yellow.

With them as his right-hand men,

he's used bribery, assassination,

every method in the book

to work his way up.

And now he's about to make a major move

ahead of the next general election.

Until now, he's skillfully

deflected any suspicion.

But we confiscated this miniature b*mb

in an unrelated case the other day.

It may only have a range of a few meters,

but since it leaves no trace behind,

it's a must-have for assassins overseas.

There are already

several of these at large,

but apparently not even the smuggler

we arrested has seen his customer's face.

But we do have one clue.

What he does remember is the sparkly,

fluffy clothing he glimpsed on-screen

and the heart-shaped sunglasses

his client was wearing.

[Kuroyuri] b*mb, please.

[Taiyo] He's totally on-screen!

But this isn't enough for us

to get a warrant for a politician.

Before there are any casualties,

we've got to gain surefire intel

on their bombing plans.

And you want me to take on that mission?

But why?

[Rin] He's from this country.

He's aware of Hinagiku's existence,

and he's got his guard up against us.

Meaning someone like you, an outsider,

would be hard for him to detect.

And so

[Rin] I'm counting on you!

What?

Huh?

You look really great in that, Taiyo!

So cute!

Yeah, it suits you. Wow. Wow.

Hey! You're not even looking!

Wait, why do I have to dress as a woman?

[Rin] See, the Kuroyuri Party

just posted this help-wanted ad.

NOW HIRING

FEMALE, BLACK HAIR, LONG EYELASHES

[Taiyo] It's so specific!

No, that's exactly me!

So many lives have their fate

resting on your shoulders.

Make sure you get that information.

[Taiyo] Uh

THE KUROYURI PARTY

- [groovy music playing]

- [Kuroyuri] We are

[crowd chanting]

Kuroyuri! Kuroyuri! Kuroyuri!

Hello, my friends!

[Kuroyuri] Today, I'm going to introduce

a new comrade to you!

Yoko Asada!

Clap!

[crowd cheers and applauds]

You must be overwhelmed

by all that cheering.

But you, too,

are part of the hero's family.

So stand tall!

[Taiyo] I wanna go home!

[man] Hero, my foot!

The policies you pushed

only widened the gap!

They're evil to the extreme!

Don't let this tyrant oppress the weak!

Who's the real tyrant here?

Get the hell out of here now!

[crowd shouting and clamoring]

- [gasps]

- [thud]

Mr. Kuroyuri!

[somber music playing]

[Kuroyuri] The anger towards my policies,

the difference in our philosophies

no matter what shape it takes,

it's the voice of the people,

a shout from the soul

But we came here to thwart you

It's your right as citizens

to have an opinion, no matter what it is.

And it's my mission

to listen to those voices.

Let's continue to have these

fair and open discussions.

Ms. Asada, you go on back to the office.

R-Right.

We are

[crowd chanting] Kuroyuri!

Kuroyuri! Kuroyuri!

All right, people.

I thank you for your hard work!

The way you timed

that equipment to fall was spot on, Red!

You made my injuries look

extremely realistic! Well done, Yellow!

Now, then, Blue, how did the public react?

KUROYURI PARTY FAVORABILITY RATING

All right! The online reaction's splendid.

Send this footage

to the commercial networks

to fan the flames even further!

[keyboard clacking]

This will cause those foolish citizens

to worship me yet again,

and the pinnacle of this country

will soon be mine!

[laughs]

Let's go with this for our next poster!

[Taiyo] I knew it.

That accident was totally staged.

Gaining the people's support

by deceiving them

He's been stooping to these lows

all this time.

We are

[Taiyo] No way am I going

to let them have their way.

[Red, Blue and Yellow chanting]

I'm going to expose their plot,

no matter what!

THE KUROYURI PARTY

[Taiyo] However

[Kuroyuri] Ms. Asada.

Are you looking for something?

Oh, no! I'm just organizing a bit!

ACCOUNTING REPOR

[Taiyo] Try as I might, I just couldn't

find any information on their crimes.

Far from it.

Let me go! I've never accepted any bribes!

This is a conspiracy!

PARTY DEBATE

Sir, you must offer a rebuttal.

[groans]

My stomach

[Taiyo] Their heinous activities

continued unabated,

and they kept shifting

the political climate in their favor.

And as the b*mb loomed overhead,

I had yet to pin down a single clue.

- [groovy music playing]

- Our budget proposal passed!

A celebratory dance is in order!

[Taiyo] What's going on here?

I'm watching them 24 hours a day,

and they show no signs

of drawing up any plans.

How do they

keep committing crime after crime?

Now, now, Ms. Asada,

you must join in on the fun now and then!

[Taiyo] I can't take this!

Why do these guys love to dance so much?

For people who dance every day,

they're terrible at keeping rhythm.

Hey, that's

[Red] Target A,

engineered disappearance complete.

[Blue] ill*gal sale of 30%

of Company B's shares, complete.

[Yellow] This will drain

all of the Tanaka faction's funds.

[Kuroyuri] Well done. That leaves me

with one less enemy group!

[Taiyo] Morse code? Of course!

They've been doing this

in the open all along.

[Red] When I showed Company C

proof of their tax evasion,

they were happy to switch sides.

[Kuroyuri] Those with guilty consciences

are easy.

They don't require any prodding.

All right, why don't we go over tomorrow's

t*rror1st b*mb attack one final time?

Mr. Kuroyuri, I'm counting on you today.

It's mutual, Deputy Prime Minister.

[Kuroyuri] Many foes

of the Kuroyuri Party,

including the Deputy Prime Minister,

will gather at next week's meeting.

They're all formidable foes

who won't succumb to my maneuvering.

That's why I'm going

to get rid of them right then and there.

We'll plant the b*mb underneath the stage.

When the speakers mount the podium,

we'll set it off.

The people nearby will die instantly.

Give me some fake injuries

while also shielding me from the blast.

All right, start the music!

Wh-What was that? t*rrorists?

No way, you're overreacting.

[man] It must be the fountain's effect.

[Taiyo] I had no time

to disable the b*mb

but luckily, I was able to counteract

the blast in a nearby fountain.

Somehow, I managed to thwart

- [gasps]

- [Kuroyuri] Too bad for you.

I didn't mention this yesterday,

but I've got another b*mb.

Mr. Taiyo Asano! [laughs]

Now that I have you

in the palm of my hand,

shall we dance?

[g*nsh*t fires]

[chuckles]

Now I've gotten rid

of every last one of them. Huh?

Hey, what's this?

Feels so good!

ANTI-SHOCK JACKET MADE BY SHINZO

FLUFF FLUFF

Shock-resistant jackets? Who the hell

I see.

Blood-spray pellets, eh?

You're full of ideas, aren't you?

But you should have kept playing dead.

Do you really think you have a chance

when it's four on one?

You thought he was alone?

What

[Sui] Yoshimasa Kuroyuri

and Red, Blue, and Yellow

I'm placing you under arrest.

[gasps, whimpers]

You worthless fools!

How much did I pay you to

You are the fool for seeking loyalty

from private-sector spies.

No! I never give up!

No!

[Sui] Zero casualties as of now.

The three who fled won't be coming back.

Hinagiku will take care

of the crime scene.

Your job is to escort him.

When you arrive at headquarters,

hand him over to the chief.

[whistling]

He might make some suspicious moves.

Watch your back.

He's not making anything

but suspicious moves!

Check it out.

[Kuroyuri] Electric Revolver Yae.

That's a traditional Yozakura weapon.

This is the first time I've ever seen it.

Taiyo Asano. You overcame the loss

of your family in an accident,

and persevered to become a proven member

of the Yozakura family,

their excellent rookie.

I don't know where you dug up all that

[Kuroyuri] But there's

just one unfortunate thing.

The fact that you really believe

it was an accident.

Hide Asano, Akari Asano, Hikaru Asano

One rainy day,

they fell off a cliff, car and all.

Your family died instantly,

but you alone survived.

Truly miraculous.

However

some miracles are the handiwork of man.

What are you talking about?

You

What do you know about my family?
