How do you feel?

Are you surprised?

Well

We have Ms. Tsukiko Sagi

here with us today.

We'll have her tell us about

how Maromi came into being.

The character that has

become so popular

throughout the nation.

But before that, let's hear

on a street in Shinagawa Ward by

an unidentified person or persons.

The police are proceeding

with their investigation

considering a possible connection

to the recent string of street attacks

that have been taking place,

and at the same time

We heard that you've always

liked to draw pictures

ever since you were a child.

And Maromi is modeled after

the pet dog you had back then?

Yes.

As a special treat

she's brought with her some of the

precious illustrations she did back then.

Oh, I see a few characters

that look kind of like Maromi.

Oh, this one looks almost

like Maromi, doesn't it?

- That's

Ah, this one even more so.

All this

Did you?

Don't bother talking to him.

That man is just a doll.

Forget about him.

That's right.

He's a doll.

Don't mind him, meow.

He's not capable of doing anything

unless we're watching him.

Who are you girls?

Your friends!

I heard everything that

you said, with these ears.

Bunny could hear the voices

of all the cornered people.

And we wanted to help them

somehow, meow. But

Look who we have for our master.

We knew it.

We knew it,

but we couldn't do anything.

Until you came.

We have to stop him.

Stop Shonen Bat, right now!

Booting meganecco

OK, let's begin.

What on earth

We're going to solve the mystery.

The mystery of Shonen Bat.

What does it mean that the

Why is there a drawing of him

in Tsukiko's sketchbook?

We have to investigate.

Attacked with a Metal Bat

No, this newspaper

article is 10 years old.

Ten years old?

There was a very

similar attack 10 years ago.

The article is small, but it seems

that the assailant was never arrested.

See, here's a photograph of

the child that was attacked.

"The victim was Tsukiko Sagi, age 12."

"A sixth-grade student

at Hokube Elementary School. "

Tsukiko

Do you think it'll help?

Did you get something?

Thanks. I have to go.

I have to go and make sure.

Oh, no!

What happened, meow?

He's unconscious.

He's hurt, meow!

Leave it to me.

It's my chance to

show my stuff, at last!

Bat Express

Shonen Bat and

Maromi are the same.

Maromi was Tsukiko's pet dog.

And that street attack 10 years ago

There's something in Tsukiko's past!

So.

When are you going to

show us your next character?

I'm begging you, Tsukiko.

I know perfectly well

that you're busy.

But that's beside the point.

We can't afford to make

them wait any longer.

There has been another

victim of Shonen Bat.

Hey, are you listening, Tsukiko?

On a street in Setagaya Ward

and contacted the police.

The next character!

On a street in Setagaya Ward

and contacted the police.

The man's wounds

which were all over his body

appear to be caused by repeated

beatings with something like a bat.

The police are taking the recent

series of Shonen Bat attacks into

Thank you very much.

When are you going to

stop acting like a big shot?

What do you think you are,

the sun?!

You think the world

revolves around you?!

No, you're the moon, aren't you?

You're just barely floating

thanks to a sun called Maromi.

What kind of look is that?

"It's thanks to Maromi that

you're making a decent living?"

Yeah, that's right

that's why I've been putting up with

you and letting you have your way.

Going so far as acting like

your personal sl*ve!

But there are limits to everything!

How long has it been since you

said you'd design another character?

We're a business!

Trust matters!

Do you understand that?!

I'm sorry, Tsukiko, sweetheart.

But I'm up to my ears in it, too.

Please, please understand.

Forgive me.

Just forget about it, please.

I'm counting on you

for that new character!

Sagi

Sagi

I never told the police

what I've just told you.

I never told the police

what I'vejust told you.

Maybe I was too strict with

her when she was a child

and she had no mother figure

to offset my harshness.

Maromi

That once, when it happened,

I couldn't bring myself to scold her.

I just pretended

that I believed her

and carried that thing

around with me every day

telling her that I'd get her

revenge on the attacker.

I know it sounds stupid,

but as a parent, I

I thank you for your guidance

Ancient Master.

Did you see the police

come to talk to her again?

So, he's the one who did it, right?

Well, he appears to a person

who's feeling cornered.

But I heard that Hatomura looked

at peace when he died.

He wasn't the type who

would feel so cornered.

But he was feeling cornered

for some reason, I think.

Yeah, so that means

There must be someone who

drove him into the corner, right?

I mean, look at that prude.

Looking as if she had

nothing to do with it.

I don't think she understands

who drove him into that corner.

The victimizer pretending

to be the victim.

She doesn't even think

it's her fault.

Such an annoying woman.

It's not your fault, Tsukiko.

It's all his fault!

There's nothing you

should be blamed for!

There!

Take this!

You know I'm always on your side.

It's OK, don't worry.

Hello, M &

I solved the mystery.

The mystery of Shonen Bat.

I don't know what you're

I met your father.

He told me everything.

The truth.

He knew everything

from the beginning.

Let's stop this now.

I have a message for

you from your father.

"You don't have to

suffer alone any more"

Don't listen to him!

Tsukiko?

I don't know

I don't know what you're

It's not my fault!

No, Tsukiko!

Don't think!

Run, Tsukiko!

I've been waiting for you,

Shonen Bat!

Do you know what this is?!

An ancient sword held by a man

who sees through the deception.

I'll send that

deception into oblivion!

Surrender and submit to justice!

Now you've revealed

your true form, monster!

Tsukiko!

This way! This way!

No, wait!

Keiichi Tomomi

But

Oh, Tomomi.

What, don't you know?

What?

Ikari says he likes you, Tomomi.

Oh, you're blushing!

Tsukiko, this way!

I think he's all right.

He's very athletic.

Oh, wait, Tomomi!

Um

I'll protect you.

I'll protect you, Tsukiko.

Where

Where did he go?

Where did he go!

Maromi Out of Stock

Early this morning, all the Maromi

ad balloons floating in various places

around Tokyo,

disappeared all at once.

While more people believe that

it may be a crime committed by

some enthusiastic Maromi fans

others believe it is part of

an even larger criminal activity.

Due to the fact the balloons were taken

from various locations simultaneously.

The police are asking the public for

any information regarding this matter.

They plan to proceed

with the investigation

and see if there's any

connection with the recent theft

of a large quantity of Maromi goods

that took place in Musashino.

What, the old man is dead?

Are you saying that

it's my fault as well? Hello?

Hello?

It's done!

The patient suffered a heart attack

brought on by cardiovascular disease.

What's the patient name?

Ma'am, can you tell us your name?

Your name!

Ma'am!

Please specify the floor

you wish to go to.

My husband

Where my husband is

Certainly.

To begin

The karma of the people

swallowed up by the jet-black

shadow that finally reveals itself.

The cries coming from the source.

A purgatory filled with

bright red blood.

Are they for the eternal goodbye?

Or the first cries of the

newly-born shoes of gold?

The final episode of a dream,

an illusion, a bubble and a shadow.

Period.
