02x02 - Crabtastic Rampage!

[bunniefuu]

Osaka?

I heard she's participating in
a collaboration project with local idols.

Why haven't I heard about this?

SHIN-OSAKA

I was buying a bento box

and missed the train!

Koichi!

Wait, you ran and caught up
with this b*llet train?

You stuck to the train?

Whoa!

Yeah, it was like a magnet
or suction cups.

You're saying your Quirk was inverted?

I'll make sure to get my revenge

for every single thing you've done to me.

Excuse me.

Your takoyaki is safe.

Are you guys tourists?
Where are you headed?

Oh, the Super Minami SS Mall.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Snip Snip, Clip Clip!

Heike Crab!

I'm Monika Kaniyashiki.

I'm Kanidouke's official idol!

Let's work hard together.

EQUIPMENT ROOM
AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY

The main focus of this investigation

is to expose the ill*gal drug
distribution network.

Have you guys heard of the "crab route"?

Yes, yes, you can count on me.

OSAKA ESUHA POLICE STATION

According to the investigation so far,

it's believed that they are intervening
in the distribution process

by placing drugs inside retail items,

and shipping them directly to individuals.

They leech off the distribution channels
of legitimate companies.

This allows them to switch distribution
channels in a short period of time…

Which makes it that much harder
to catch them.

But how is this even a profitable business
if they're spending much time and effort

on such small individual purchases?

This isn't just a simple
drug dealing operation to make money.

Money may not be their objective.

One of my colleagues mentioned
this before too,

but it seems

that their actions tend to disregard
the financial side of things.

That's really troublesome.

We can't read people who do bad things
without any regard for personal profit.

That's where we come in, right?

Yes, if we can find out the flow of drugs

by uncovering their distribution routes,

we should be able

to get much closer to uncovering
the existence of the Villain Factory.

KANIDOUKE

Beautiful Investigator on the move!

SECRET IDENTITY: TRUE FORM AND IDENTITY OF
ANONYMOUS PEOPLE LIKE SPIES OR SUPERHEROES

ESUHA SS MALL

At Kanidouke's cool store,

there are two industrial mechs
and three workers.

Current situation confirmed.

So, there is some bad stuff
mixed in with the cargo, huh?

All right, it's show time.

Hey!

Oh, Kaniko-chan? What brings you here?

Hey, you guys are working hard!

A discrepancy was just found
on a delivery slip at the sales floor,

so I've been told to double-check
everything on-site before shipping.

What? You can't spring that on us
all of a sudden.

Do we need to pause what we're doing?

No need. Please continue.

I'll do whatever needs to be done.

Can I borrow this tablet?

She seems to be fitting in very well
at the workplace.

That's her special talent.

With that charming and strange character,
she can get access wherever she goes.

She's very capable.

The online Kanidouke store

sells a wide variety of crab products,

but the packaging
is the same for all of them.

In other words, you can't tell them apart
just by looking at the packaging.

It's frozen, so it's packaged very well.

It's pretty much a black box.

It's all managed by barcodes,

so no one notices if a strange item
gets mixed in with the distribution.

Beep, beep, beep.

Found it!

This "Special Value Set D" seems off.

The "Special Value Set" online
is only available in A, B, and C.

So this is basically a premium product

delivered exclusively
to special customers.

Oh?

It looks like just an ordinary crab.

There's no false bottom either.

There are lots of ice packs. It looks
like there are two different sizes.

I think I've got it.

Hello, Kaniko-san. I understand
there's a problem with the invoice?

What? You opened the box?

We won't be able to sell that now.
That's going to be a problem.

Oh shut up already, I'm busy right now.

And more importantly…

Who are you?

I work part-time making deliveries…

Liar. I know the faces
of all the part-time workers.

This is Kaniyashiki. Reporting contact
with a suspicious individual.

I also found evidence of drugs.

It wasn't disguised as crab meat,
but as ice packs.

I almost got fooled!

Roger. The standby team is moving in.

The list of delivery locations
is on the tablet,

and to top it all off,
I even have a key witness.

Snip, snip, mission complete!

Not bad, Kaniko-san.

Freeze!

Move and I'll sh**t!

That's my g*n!

Kaniyashiki here!
I've encountered a Villain!

My g*n was stolen!
And the tablet with the evidence!

What did you say?

Fat-Yan!

This is where I come in, right?

Police!

Freeze!

Everyone stop what you're doing
and put your hands up!

Hey you, Villain!

Why are you acting all cool and collected?
I'm talking to you!

Well, if you want, we can play
with that g*n you've got in your hand.

No, I'll pass.

After all, I'm just here to clear out
the distribution route.

Freeze!

Therefore…

OFF/ON

What's happening?

The arm is moving on its own!

KANIDOUKE

What the hell?

What's happening?

In this way,

the freshly caught seafood is preserved
by the latest freezing technology.

And we have
our own unique transportation network

that connects production areas,
including Hokkaido,

with our 50 stores across Japan.

That's the secret
to our Kanidouke chain's motto,

"Consistent deliciousness
whenever and wherever in Japan."

KANIDOUKE

I want to go home.

What's happening?

What's going on?

Pop!

What's the deal with these machines?

These crab mech cargo carriers
are attacking us!

Fatgum!

That's enough!

I'm going to smash you guys!

No, Fat-Yan!

The guys inside are innocent!

They're being held hostage here?
That makes things difficult.

Make sure they don't get hurt!

You're asking for the impossible.

But Fatgum will get the job done!

Nice, Fat-Yan!

All done!

Self-proclaimed beautiful investigator,
Monika Kaniyashiki.

Quirk, Snip Clip.

She can cut through pretty much anything
that can be placed between her fingers.

Clip, clip.

The hostages are freed.

No need to hold back anymore, Fat-Yan.

All right!

Won't you get in trouble
for using your Quirk?

You're a police officer after all.

I guess a written apology is in order.

Impressive.

Freeze! The next one will hit you.

Please spare me.

Watch out, Tsukauchi-san.

He's super-fast!

If he has an acceleration-based Quirk,

the second I take my eyes off of him,
he'll catch me off guard.

Raise both your arms
and slowly lie on your stomach.

Yeah, yeah, slowly, right?

- Self-destruction?
- Damn it!

Trying to destroy evidence?

Exactly.

Oh crap!

Bye.

Stop right there!

There's commotion around the stage area.

Oh no, there's one more mech on stage!

Are you serious?

If that explodes
in the middle of the crowd…

I guess we'll have to stop that
from happening.

Tsukauchi-san,
you're in charge of the Villain!

Roger!

Pop!

How do I stop this thing?

Whoa!

Someone fell!

Hey, are you all right?

Ouch…

Damn it.

If only I had
my Exclusive All Might Hoodie… Wait…

That thing has already caused some damage!

There it is. It's on a rampage!

We have to stop it.

Once it reaches the Kanidouke stall,
it'll explode!

All right!

Fat-Yan! Go faster!

This is the fastest I can go.

What was that? It was so fast!

All right, I caught up!

I'm here!

Koichi!

Pop, are you all right?
I'm glad you're not hurt.

I guess we have this hoodie to thank.

What? Your Exclusive All Might Hoodie?

You brought that with you?

I'm a little different from usual.

TSUTENKAKU

I'm a man overjoyed to have bought
a rare hoodie while traveling!

The Crawler: Tower to Heaven Style!

Enough of that and just save me!

Oh right… but how exactly
am I supposed to do that?

You idiot!

Thanks for your business!

The suspect is a b*mber
with a dangerous Quirk.

Despite warnings and threats,
he shows no intention of surrendering.

We have no choice! Fire!

He accelerated again.

Remember what Kaniko-san told you?

I'm really fast.

A g*n won't be of any use against me.

Nope, it's effective!

Restrain him!

His attempt at buying time

proved that a short interval was necessary
between consecutive "accelerations."

If we seize that opportunity,

our g*ns can effectively subdue him.

How very perceptive.

Seriously? I really got shot?

Is my leg broken? Is it all right?

Oh, it just grazed my leg.

Let me see this.

I see, it's just filled
with weak rubber b*ll*ts.

No wonder he was firing
without hesitation.

What a joke. It's not like
everything's okay as long as no one dies!

Damn it.

By the way, this really hurts.

Don't get the wrong idea about me.

I'm not such a bad guy.

I don't like violence at all.

So I'll only sh**t you
over the bulletproof vest.

But I do apologize ahead of time

in case you die accidentally.

Stop.

Nope, I won't stop.

I'll be going now.

How's it going, Koichi?

I found the lever in the back.

It won't work!
Is it because it's on a rampage?

Oh no, it's getting closer to the stall!

It'll explode!

And who's that young man
who ran there to cling on to the mech?

He'll get hurt!

We have no choice.
Fat-Yan, you have to do that.

By "that," you mean "that"?

Yeah, what else!

Got it! I'll do that!

Ready?

Yup!

Rocket Crab Clip!

Kaniko-san?

She can cut through pretty much anything
that she can grip with her legs!

All right! I snipped its legs!

Pop!

Hey, you're the guy
that was with Pop-chan!

Step away right now. It's dangerous.

But Pop is inside that mech.

What? Why?

She filled in as your substitute.

Then it's my fault!

I'm sorry, Pop-chan.
Here, you can get out now.

Are you all right?

- What is that?
- It's blinking.

Oh crap, it's going to explode
even after it's immobilized?

- What? Explode?
- It'll explode any second . Run!

Pop, use Leap to get out of here.

Okay.

Pop!

Pop! Grab on to me!

All right.

Oh no, it's going to explode!

It's time

for Fat to make an appearance!

Fat Gum's Shock Absorption!

By burning off fat, he absorbs the impact
and retains the shock within his body!

The impact is so strong,
I can't hold it in for much longer.

You need to get away quickly!

It's still dangerous. Stand back!

And then comes… shock release!

Fat-Yan!

Whoa, that was a close call.

I barely made it.

This is what he looks like
once he loses all his fat!

FATGUM [LOW-FAT]

So, Kaniko, is anyone injured?

No worries. No one was injured.

Although the venue is a mess.

More importantly, we need to go support
Tsukauchi-san and the others!

I also need to store some more body fat!

You've got a lot on your plate,
in many ways.

Kaniko-san!

What in the world happened?

I'll explain everything later.

But please wait here for now.

What?

Are we supposed to wait here too?

I think so.

We have to leave soon
to make it on our train back home.

Do you want to call home
just in case we run late?

I don't want my parents to find out
about any of this.

Right, I can't have my mom finding out
about this either.

Although my dad wouldn't care.

Um…

What? You sent Pop-chan and that guy home?

We're the ones that dragged them
into this mess in the first place,

so I couldn't force them to stay.

By the way,
why are you with the police, Kaniko-san?

Well, it's not that those kids
are in trouble, but…

But they're witnesses
to this important case.

An important case?

I did get their contact information.

I'll take this.

MARUKANE DEPARTMENT STORE, NARUHATA BRANCH
EVENT COORDINATOR: MAKOTO TSUKAUCHI

Makoto?

Hey Bro!

Today was an eventful day,

but it was pretty fun, huh?

How can you be so carefree?

Our life was at risk.

Oh, I just remembered.
Let's buy souvenirs at the train station.

I'm here!

Pop, grab on to me!

It's really hard for you
to say sorry and thank you, huh?

Um… Koichi…

about earlier… um… thank…

I'm so full…

Oh geez.

Dummy.

No matter how good their intentions,

Vigilantes are nothing more than criminals
who've deviated from the rules of society.

Next time, "Public and Private."

I understand

the desire to support them,
but the law must be upheld.
