My name is Yuichi Taira.

People call me

Ichi!

Ichi!

Why do they call me Ichi (number one)?

Ichi!

And of course, there's my popularity!

In every area, I'm always on top!

THE GOLDEN SHOES

That morning should have been

the same as usual.

I am so cool!

Good morning!

Good morning!

Have a nice day!

See you later!

Good morning!

Good morning!

You're Shonen Bat!

You're Shonen Bat!

The second street as*ault occurred

exactly in the same manner

as the as*ault on Tsukiko Sagi.

Based on the information

we have so far

this as*ault seems

to have been committed by

a sixth grade

elementary student

who wears gold inline skates

and a baseball cap.

I couldn't believe it when I heard it.

How could an elementary school

student become a violent criminal?

I see. That's why.

Oh, come on!

Why is everybody so ignorant?

How could I be Shonen Bat?

You know I'm

YUICHI TAIRA

For Student Council President

"A Bright Future for the School"

Everybody, thank you

for supporting me.

I will do my best to work hard

as Student Council President,

for all the students!

"Ushii is Here For You"

"Ushii is Here For You"

Shogo Ushiyama.

"Ushii is Here For You"

"Ushii is Here For You"

He transferred here from another

school at the end of the spring semester.

The only thing he's good at

is getting good grades.

A country bumpkin

from a low income family.

He's fat, sweaty

and sucks at sports.

I can't believe he's

even challenging me.

Is he the one who spread the rumor?

Of course, it must be this pig!

Good morning, Ichi!

Good morning, Usshi!

The student council

election is coming soon.

Good luck to both of us!

Yeah, of course!

May the best person win!

Until I find some proof,

I'll leave you alone.

But don't underestimate me,

you pig!

Gold Award

Gold Award

Oh, well. A hero would never be

defeated by this kind of a dirty trick.

I'll keep my head high.

Good morning!

You're the one!

You should be ex*cuted!

He must have done it.

- It's no wonder.

- He's gotta be the one.

This is yours, isn't it?

Kawazu said you dropped this.

I heard that he was attacked

while chasing you around.

However, he said that he didn't

see the suspect very well

because it happened

so unexpectedly.

How about you, Ms. Sagi?

You didn't see the attacker?

How sad.

I have to clean you up.

Ms. Sagi, I don't want

to offend you

but you've been

involved in both incidents.

Most likely, the suspect

would be someone you know.

Can you think of anybody?

How about you?

Did you see the attacker?

I know you were there.

Right, Maromi-chan!

Huh?!

Is he all right?

I meant, Mr. Kawazu's condition

He's in stable condition, Miss.

Here!

- I got it!

- Hey! Pass it here!

Completely ignored.

My mom was saying

Nasty talk!

Everybody is manipulated

by the media. How idiotic.

Thank you, Usshi!

No problem.

I was about to leave anyway.

Hey Usshi, do you want to

come to my place today?

Really?

Are you sure?

Why is fat-Usshi

stealing my position?

How could he do such a thing?

He's just a slow

stupid and obese country bumpkin

who's as fat as a cow!

Whatever!

I don't need you guys!

I have

Bullying?

It's not that!

I'm just being ignored.

And they talk behind my back.

And they give me dirty looks.

Yuichi

Harumi Chono.

Her official role is my private tutor

but I don't really need one.

She is, so to speak,

an oasis for my heart.

Does your mom know about this?

Thank you for your help.

It's my pleasure.

Please don't forget, Miss Harumi

we're having his

birthday party next Sunday.

Yes, I'll be here.

Well then, have a good session.

Does your teacher know about it?

Do you want me to tell her?

Don't worry about it.

Your concern for me

is more than enough.

I'll take care of this by myself.

Who would want that?

If an adult steps into

this kind of problem

things will get more complicated.

But, I can't just

leave things as they are.

The student council

election is coming soon.

I have to do something.

Ichi! Ichi!

Don't call me by that name

What's the matter, Ichi?

Did you want to talk to me?

You are so disgusting!

Ichi?

Didn't you hear me?

A weasel like you doesn't have

the right to call me by that name.

What do you mean by "a weasel"?

I know it's you.

Don't play dumb.

You put the anonymous

letter in my locker

and spread the rumor

that I'm Shonen Bat!

Why don't you admit it?!

You knew you couldn't

win the election

by competing on equal terms!

So you ruined my reputation!

So am I right?! Huh?!

Ichi!

Don't say that name!

Now, I want you all to

write your honest opinion!

All right, start writing now.

Open the image file?

Everyone! Must I say it again?

Turn the cell phones off during class!

Teacher!

People are bullying Yuichi Taira.

What?

Who?!

Who pulled this kind of dirty trick?

Teacher, Yuichi will be ostracized,

if we don't do anything about this.

I really hate him!

Poor Ichi!

You think Tsukiko Sagi is

naturally out of tune like that?

I have no idea what young

people these days are thinking.

I'm one of those young people, too.

Yup. Including you.

Did you find out anything about that

homeless woman's whereabouts?

We're still looking, but she never had a

permanent address to begin with.

He still hasn't been arrested, has he?

Golden Bat!

You mean Shonen Bat.

Oh, yeah.

Shonen Bat.

I heard that his bat is golden.

So anyway!

The police came to my place, too.

It felt like I was in a cop show.

So what did they ask you?

Well, they showed me this

sketch of the suspect and

What?

He was an elementary school kid?

Really?

So then, he does have

a metal baseball bat?

But did you hear this?

He grins right before he attacks.

That's so scary!

I heard that his shoes

and bat are both gold.

What if his eyeballs are also gold?

Shonen Bat

What if his eyeballs are also gold?

Shonen Bat

Shonen Bat

It's scary.

Shonen Bat

That's not funny.

Shonen Bat

Everything is that pig's fault!

I was being bullied discreetly

but now it's become official.

Mr. Taira

Conference Room

Conference Room

Well, just one last question.

Conference Room

Have you ever met a person

named Tsukiko Sagi?

She's the designer who

was attacked first, right?

Of course, I don't know

her personally at all.

Thank you for your cooperation!

I'm sorry.

It's not that you're a suspect.

This is simply our job.

Then arrest the real suspect, quickly!

Because of this incident,

Yuichi is now being bullied in school!

Other kids are saying

that he's the assailant!

But I felt really relieved.

The police have finally

shown that I'm not a suspect.

That's it!

I should use this chance!

Turning crisis into chance!

That's so much like me!

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday Ichi!

Happy birthday Ichi!

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday!

Ichi, happy birthday!

Happy birthday, Yuichi!

I'm sorry Ichi.

Forgive my suspicion.

We were all being

tricked by Ushiyama.

We were all so stupid to

believe the word of that pig!

Please be the same Ichi,

now and forever!

Thank you.

Everyone, thank you!

The police investigation

worked against me.

I will do my best to work hard

as Student Council President,

for all the students!

Take your craft assignment home.

Wow! Awesome!

Your robot looks so cool, Ichi!

Golden (bat) Award

Golden (bat) Award

Ichi, you're so great!

Golden (bat) Award

Yeah! You can do anything!

I'm sure you'll be the next

Student President!

That's right!

Yes! Ichi's the one!

Why?

Why is this happening to me?

It has nothing to do with me.

An incident like a street as*ault

has nothing to do with my life.

Ichi!

Ichi.

I'm not angry about

what happened last time.

Why is this pig carrying a palm tree?!

I hope the real assailant

will be arrested soon

so that people would forget about it.

I understand very well how you feel.

I was also bullied

at my previous school.

Don't lump us together!

That's the reason I transferred.

The School Counselor

told me to be positive

and take on many

challenges at my new school.

I wish he would get attacked.

That's why I challenged

myself to run in this election.

Why don't you get beaten

by Shonen Bat?

Why don't you get beaten!

Then I can!

Yuichi, you did a terrific job.

Please share your feelings with us.

I just tried to do the right thing.

However, I feel very sad about

what happened to Ushiyama.

What a true hero!

Yuichi Taira may have

caught Shonen Bat

but he's even more

concerned about his friend.

Ichi! Ichi!

Lucky!

Wait!

I'll get you!

No matter what!

I'll get you!

Wait!

Wait!

Wait!!

This evening, an elementary school

boy was attacked

on a street in Musashino City, Tokyo.

The boy was seriously injured.

The police department

is investigating the incident

in relation to the other

attacks in the same area.

Investigators believe it may be

the work of the same attacker.

- Next, views from across the country

- Next, views from across the country

- I think I met him once before.

- I think I met him once before.

That's just your imagination.

Maromi, you must

remember it too, when I

You're thinking too much.

That was a long time ago.

How could he look exactly

the as same as before?

There's no way.

It's too strange.

You're also acting a little bit strange.

Forget about things that

happened a long time ago.

Everything is Shonen Bat's fault!

Right?

Yes

Let's go.

Hey, wait a second.

Where are we going?

Where do you think?

Ichi! Go for it!

Ichi, you're awesome!

Home-run!!

Yeah, Ichi

I'm so cool.

What happened to

going to school, Yuichi!?

Isn't today the day of the

Student Council Election?

You'll be late.

No!

I'm not going!

Can you hear me?

Yuichi!

Yuichi!

I was right next to Ushiyama

when he was attacked.

Everybody knows that I hated him.

The suspect!!

I'll get blamed

if I go to school today!

Open the door! Yuichi!

Yuichi, it's time to go to school!

Look!

It's the Shonen Bat!

Oh, yeah.

You are a coward!

You are the lowest!

m*rder*r!

Stop it!

Stop it!

No, it's not true!

I knew that you did it!

No, it's not me!

I'm not Shonen Bat!!

Everybody!

It's Shonen Bat!

The real Shonen Bat!

It's Shonen Bat!

Ichi!

Ichi!

To begin with

a convolvulus who

lives in an ivory tower

dreams every night

of being a kaleidoscope.

The bloodsucker sucked the swallowtail.

She is torn off,

ripped up and broken.

Two lips are floating around

in the dark of night.

The golden shoes will answer your call.
