01x01 - The Big City

[bunniefuu]

[traditional music playing]

[Usagi] The samurai faced off
against the terrifying monster.

O-dokuro, legendary Yokai,

one of the many fearsome Yokai
that stalked the world long ago.

-Yeep yeep.
-Huh?

Yeah, Spot, it is awesome.

And that noble samurai,
that Yokai-k*lling warrior,

was my ancestor, Miyamoto Usagi!

[noble music plays]

Miyamoto's sword, Willow Branch,
was like lightning.

-[whooshes]
-[Spot] Yeep yeep!

Ikuzo!

-[swords slashing]
-[growling]

[Usagi] Again and again, he struck
the dreaded Yokai with fierce blows.

Hah! Hyah!

[Usagi exclaiming]

-[Spot whimpering]
-Huh?

[Usagi] It's okay, Spot, don't worry.

It's just Auntie's farmbotto.
It's not even turned on. See?

[loud bang]

[whirring]

[tense music playing]

Oh no!

Whoops!

Ikuzo!

[theme music playing]

Someone get a picture!

[tense music plays]

-Oh no. No!
-[frightened] Eep!

Eep!

No, no, no! Spot, move!

[panting]

[grunts]

Eep!

[whooshing]

Oh no, no, no, not the house! No, no, no!

[grunts]

[shouting]

[grunts]

[exclaims, grunts]

[gasps]

[Usagi] Whoa! Whoa!

[intense music playing]

[straining]

[yelling]

[rattling]

[groans] Huh?

[Usagi] Not the watermelons!

[clanking]

[whirring dies down]

[whirring stops]

[panting]

-Yeep, yeep!
-Okay. I'm okay.

-[Auntie] What?
-[gasps] I'm not okay.

Do I even want to know
what's going on here?

[somber music playing]

-[thump]
-[electricity crackling]

It was an accident,
but I saved the watermelons.

[spark cracks]

-[creaking]
-[Usagi] Oh!

[loud thud]

Unbelievable.

You could have been hurt.

Does this sign mean nothing to you?

[Usagi]
It means "no fighting the farmbotto."

-But he started it!
-You're turning 16 tomorrow.

Act your age.

Look at this thing.

[Auntie] It's going to take
all day to get it working again.

I'm sorry, Auntie. I was just--

I know. You were dreaming
of being a samurai.

And, of course you're sorry.

You're always sorry,
and you always do it again.

You can't just do the first thing
that comes into your head.

You need to start thinking before you act.

Look at all this! Weeks of work ruined.

That's half our broccoli crop.

And you could have k*lled somebody!

Fine! So obviously
I can't do anything right!

I mean, why am I even here?
I'm turning 16! I should go to--

No. You don't talk now.

Just please fix that farmbotto.

[both sighing]

[Spot whines]

[Spot] Mm…

[Usagi sighs]
I'll never be a samurai if I stay here.

[pensive music playing]

This has happened too many times.

She'll be better off without me.

I won't be around to mess up the crops.

And in the city, I can become
a samurai like my ancestor.

I'll show everyone.

I've got moves like they've never seen!

[exclaiming]

[screams]

Oof!

Auntie!

Hi. [clears throat]

I've made up my mind.

I'm going to Neo Edo,

and you can't stop me.

Whoa!

Let's just relax.
You're madder than I thought.

[sighs]

You're right. I can't stop you.

Edgewing!

But it's your sword.

Go on, take it.

You'll need it if you're going to find
a sensei in Neo Edo.

Your great-grandfather and I
made this sword ourselves

back when I was your age.

And that crystal--

It's called the Omurasaki.
It belonged to Miyamoto Usagi.

That crystal has been handed down
from generation to generation.

I set it in the sword's hilt myself.

It has always brought me luck.

Well, almost always.

[vibrating]

I love you

and I promised your parents
I would keep you safe.

But I have to admit
that you and this farm are

not a good fit.

This place is k*lling your soul.

[gentle music playing]

-Goodbye, Spot.
-Mm.

Take good care of him.

Thank you, Auntie.

And when you get to Neo Edo,

find someone to teach you
the way of the sword.

A sensei.

I don't need a sensei.

I'm already the best.
You've been training me for years!

You need more.

You need to learn respect,
patience, and wisdom.

Only then can you become
what you are meant to be.

A samurai.

Promise me you will find yourself
a true sensei.

And that you'll be responsible
with that sword.

The greatest master
needs their sword the least.

Of course, you're right, Auntie.
I'll find a sensei.

And I promise I'll be
so responsible with Edgewing.

[upbeat music playing]

[whooping]

Who needs a sensei?

I'm already an amazing swordsman.

[Usagi] I'm going to the city
to be the greatest samurai ever.

[Usagi laughing]

Mm!

Whee.

Oh!

Neo Edo.

[majestic music playing]

We made it, Spot.

Yeep, yeep, yeep!

Neo Edo!

[joyous traditional music playing]

I can't wait to show them what I can do.

-[screeching]
-Whoa!

[Spot] Whoa!

I guess the Steamcycle
is excited to be in Neo Edo too!

I think it's picking up power
from the Ki-Stone!

[electricity sparkling]

[joyous music continues]

[crackling loudly]

[crackling continues]

[humming]

Aw.

What is bothering
my sweet little Ki-Stone today?

Are we all tuckered out
from powering the whole city?

-[newsbotto] Breaking news!
-[rapid clacking]

I've heard of these things.
It's a newsbotto.

The criminal Warimashi
has escaped custody!

Reward for his capture is 100,000 joules.

Maybe I'll fight that Warimashi.

The criminal Warima-- [sputtering]

Okay, Neo Edo, bring on the bad guys!

[Usagi]
"Ha! You think yourself a great samurai?"

"We will cut you down
like a farmbotto harvesting broccoli."

"Your farm metaphors mean nothing to me."

"It's time to fight."

"Ikuzo!"

Ya!

[grunting]

[yelling]

Usagi is victorious!

And just as it seems things can't get
any better for the mighty samurai,

he receives the power of the Ki-Stone.

[yelling]

[grunting]

[heroic music playing]

[Usagi] To fight Yokai!

O-Dokuro, the Skeleton Yokai!

Karasu-tengu, Crow Yokai,
master of martial arts!

-[chittering]
-[Usagi] Tsuchi-gumo, the Spider Yokai!

[echoing]
"I am the ultimate Yokai fighter!"

[screaming]

Ya!

[yelps]

-[Usagi exclaims]
-[yelps]

-[Spot yelping]
-Whoa!

[Spot chirps]

Okay, maybe we'd be
better off on foot, Spot.

I'll come back for ya!

[bold music plays]

[growls]

Evening.

-[machinery humming]
-[gasps]

[ominous music playing]

Look at the airship, Spot!

[yelps]

[car horns honking]

-[yapping]
-[Usagi] You're gonna miss it!

[rattling]

[electricity crackling]

Yeep!

Huh.

These fancy city robotto don't even work.

Hmm?

[tense music playing]

Okay, what's going on?

Do I smell?

[sniffs]

Been worse.

Come on, I've been in town
for half an hour

and I haven't had a chance
to use my new sword once.

Please sir, you don't wanna hurt me.

Not really, no,

but it's time for lunch

and food tastes better
after I hit someone.

[gasps]

[noble music playing]

[Usagi]
Suddenly, the brave samurai, Usagi,

comes upon a helpless pig at the mercy
of a big, ugly brute of a rhino.

-[pig screaming]
-[growls]

What? "Big ugly brute"?

Well, I mean, look at you.

The name is Gen.

And your description
is accurate, but still offensive.

I'm sorry, I did not mean
to say that out loud.

Now, put down the pig
or I'll put down the hurt.

Wait, I-I can do better than that.

Let go of the pig or I'll let loose on…

N-no, no. That's even worse.

Huh.

First time I ever met a rabbit.

Too bad I gotta smash it.

[ominous music plays]

-[whooshes]
-[grunts]

[Usagi exclaims]

[grunts] What the heck?

Thank you for your kindness.

You can't threaten innocent pigs
on my watch!

I mean, not specifically… pigs.

When I think about it,
really any kind of--

[Gen] I'm a bounty hunter, bunny!

You just helped Neo Edo's
most wanted criminal escape!

That was Warimashi!
I've been tracking him for weeks.

Wait, wait.

That was Warimashi?

But-- but he looked so cute!

And you look like a stuffed toy,
but you're about to look like a pancake!

Okay, hey, let's talk about this.
I really am sorry.

I-I-I thought you were the criminal.

I want to be a samurai,

and samurai are supposed
to protect the innocent, so--

Assess the situation
and get the facts before you engage.

One of the first rules of fighting.

[groans]

[panting]

[intense music playing]

[grunting]

Didn't your sensei teach you anything?

I don't need a sensei!

Says the guy
who just let Warimashi escape!

Ha!

Ooh.

[panting]

[exclaims]

[clang]

[grunts, screams]

Yokai!

[grunts]

Hey, my puppet! Let him go!

Tell him to let go of me.
I'm trying… Cut it out!

Hey, that rabbit ruined my big payday!

That rabbit ruined my show!

[grunting] Come on.

Sorry! My bad!

[grunts]

[clang]

Hey, that's my purse!

And my wallet!

That fox is a thief!

-[bear] My money!
-[dog] Thief!

I never said it was a free puppet show.

-Hey!
-Grab her!

[traditional music plays]

[panting]

[grunts]

Aw, give me back my puppet!

[grunts]

[Usagi panting]

-[Gen] Stop!
-Huh?

I have your Tokage!

[slurps, whines]

[whispering] Cut it out.
I'm trying to look threatening.

Put… him…

down!

[Usagi screaming]

[groans]

-Oh.
-[grunts]

Hyah!

Hyah!

Hah!

Yeep yeep!

[intense music playing]

Are you okay? Speak to me!

[making puppet groans]

[snapping fingers]

Crud.

-[snapping fingers]
-Huh?

[Usagi] Hyah!

Yeep, yeep, yeep.

[ominous music playing]

[snapping fingers]

[panting] It's the Mogura.

The third most dangerous crew
in all of Neo Edo!

Third most dangerous?

[chuckles]

We're obviously number one.

I was gonna let you go.

Look, everyone.
See who's gettin' a beat down today?

Chikabuma!

Huh?

Who is Chikabuma
and why is he getting a beatdown?

No, no, that's not what I mean.

I am Chikabuma.

And you, my friend,
are gettin' a beatdown.

-But, uh--
-[whispering] Shut up, you yonk.

Silence!

You have interrupted

snapping practice.

[snapping rhythmically]

[ominous jazz playing]

[chuckles]
Okay, is something going to happen, or…

[snapping stops]

[groaning]

[ominous music resumes]

[thundering sound wave]

[all screaming]

[groaning]

-[loud grunt]
-[groans]

[groaning]

[coughs]

[ominous music continues]

[groaning]

-Get 'em!
-Huh?

[grunting]

Hyah!

[echoing snap]

[intense music playing]

[grunts]

[straining]

[grunting]

[bones clattering]

We gotta get outta here
before they do another power snap!

[whooshing]

Hmm?

[tense music plays]

[grunts]

Hyah!

[Usagi] Oof.

[straining]

Hyah!

[loud thud]

[loud sound wave]

-[loud thud]
-Yeep!

[sighs]

Not cool.

Chikabuma!

[panting] Hey! My puppet's back there!

You wanna go get it?

Not for a million joules.

[gasps] Ooh!

[Kitsune] I call dibs!

Oh, that should pay for a new puppet.

Hmm, maybe two or three.

I'm glad it all worked out.

So, my name is Usagi,
and I'd like to apologize for--

Hyah!

Okay, I can see you're still mad.

-[Usagi grunts]
-[Spot] Yeep yeep.

[lively music playing]

Huh?

-[loud bang]
-[grunts]

Oof.

-Ow.
-[clattering]

[gasps]

[loud crash]

[clattering]

[breathing heavily]

[growls]

-[gasps]
-Yeep.

Yeep.

Those were priceless.

Oh, good.

I was afraid they were valuable.

[glass shatters]

[grunts]

[crash]

[grunts] I just swept in here!

Everyone, out. Now!

We just want to smash that guy.

Oh.

Okay. Go ahead.

Yeep.

[mystical music playing]

What is up with you?

I've gotten a dozen complaints
about power fluctuations in the last hour.

[loud crash]

-[crash]
-[groans]

-[grunts]
-Eep.

Hyah!

-Whoa.
-[Spot] Eep, eep!

[panting]

[panting]

[all gasping]

[kisses]

Chizu!

What are they doing in here?

I ordered them out, sir.

Who are you?

Hi! I'm Kitsune.

I'm Gen, and I got no beef with you.

I'm just here for the rabbit.

-I'm U--
-Nobody cares who you are!

Shut up!
You're all upsetting the Ki-Stone.

Whoa.

That's the Ki-Stone?

I thought it would be fancier.
And more yellow.

Maybe with some like, lines around it,
like rays sh**ting out and--

-[grunts]
-Ow!

Ow!

Why is my face so stabby?

[Usagi] Can we have a time-out?
I wanna look at the Ki-Stone!

Desist! I am Tetsujin,
the last of the Kaikishi.

And I will not be disrespected.

The Kaikishi?
The ancient order of Yokai fighters?

[whooshing]

[chuckling]
How can he be a Yokai fighter

when there haven't been any Yokai
for a thousand years?

Hah! They're just old stories.
They were never real.

-Hah!
-Everybody shut up!

There are still Kaikishi.

I am the only one left.

This is the ancient Kaikishi Temple.

[loud humming, crackling]

Um… Sir?

Not now, Chizu. And you!

-Sir!
-Why do you look like Miyamoto Usagi?

He was my ancestor.

-[beams firing]
-Oof.

Embarrassing.

Why is it doing that?

[electricity crackling]

Oh.

That's not good at all.

It's you!

You're the reason
the Ki-Stone's messing up!

It's so cool.

Like if you had a friend
who was lightning.

-[electricity crackling]
-[giggling]

Stop!

[intense music builds]

[loud bang]

[music fades]

[ancient traditional music playing]

Ah!

[pulsing music playing]

[gasps]

[all screaming]

Oof!

[all panting]

[grunts]

-[crackling]
-Huh?

[mystical music playing]

[Gen] Are those…

Those look like…

Yokai! Yes!

[mystical music builds]

Tomorrow, I ask for a raise.

[cracking]

Huh?

[ominous music playing]

[growling]

Huh!

[hissing] Miyamoto Usagi.

After all these centuries of imprisonment,

it is you!

I'm flattered,

but actually I'm Yuichi Usagi--

Silence!

You are to blame for my suffering.

[screams]

[groans]

I have waited a thousand years

to destroy you!

[ominous music cl*max]

[closing theme music playing]
