Hey, hurry up!

Wait up!

You are so slow.

Hey, wait!

Uh, I'm sorry.

Are you all right?

Excuse me, are you?

Hey, what's going on?

Shonen Bat, in a continuing

reign of terror

has struck yet another

victim last night.

From the start, I've had my

suspicions about these incidents.

And since the last attack

we've found a connection

to the previous incidents.

Right.

Taking a look at this chart

The assailant, Shonen Bat

first attacked the designer,

Tsukiko Sagi.

Then he attacked the journalist

Akio Kawazu, who was following her.

So, police

investigators believed

that someone close to Tsukiko Sagi

would be the most likely suspect.

However, the third incident

involving Shogo Ushiyama

and his classmate, Yuichi Taira

and most recently, Harumi Chono,

the private tutor of Yuichi Taira

Huh?

Ah, yes. That's right.

What?!

You mean that woman is Maria?!

I don't believe this.

I see. Yeah, I think so.

I understand. Don't worry.

A MAN'S PATH

Are you thinking about

the law of causality again?

It's there like I told you.

Well, there seems to be a connection

but it's not helping our investigation.

I'm

I try to find out something

new with each patrol.

Excuse me

but do you have an

official wanted poster?

We can't even create

a police sketch

because, there's too little information.

Even after four people

have been attacked?

It's already five victims,

including Harumi Chono.

sh*t!

It would be easier if these

incidents weren't related.

Discovering how they are related,

is our job!

Even having this simple

sketch is better than nothing.

There has to be causality

between these cases.

Anyway, let us know

if you find anything.

Let's go.

Chief!

Huh?

You're looking rather tired.

Is this case so difficult?

No, it's not

I heard it's just a robbery case.

Yeah, we thought so at first.

We're still keeping

that idea open, but

You're beating around the bush.

That's not like you.

I just quit

smoking.

Really?

So, what's going on?

You were saying there's some

connection between the cases.

So, what about the woman,

Harumi Chono?

She was the private tutor of

the fourth victim, Yuichi Taira.

Well, that's a connection.

She was a tutor on the side.

Her real job was as an assistant for

a professor at Jiai University.

What's wrong?

You're not cured yet?

No, I think this will stay

with me forever.

Oh, I just heard.

Construction has finally begun

on that house you always wanted.

The mortgage will stay

with me forever, too.

But it's for my family.

I just have to work

a little harder everyday.

You've treated your

family very nicely

for as long as I can remember.

Oh, stop it.

Flatter me all you want, but the only

thing you'll get out of me is snot.

Handa Enterprises

Suita Family

So, we have nothing

to worry about?

At least for now.

Harumi Chono didn't talk

about the prostitution ring.

However, it's only for the time being.

Thank you for your advice.

So?

Hey!

Yes.

I can't beat you.

This'll do for now.

And one more thing.

You know

Hey!

Let's see

This one!

Little Alice, how old are you?

I'm twenty. Why?

You're so good.

Oh, please stop.

How old are you, Mister?

Daddy!

What?

You have to call me DADDY!

I have no choice.

The only thing I have left is my family.

Chief, I'm not like you.

I don't think I'd ever get promoted.

But still, I want to provide for

my wife and child adequately.

I think I should learn

from your attitude.

Oh, how old is your daughter?

She's seventeen.

A very sassy age.

Time passes too quickly.

She was still a little girl

when I saw her last.

It's very quick.

She grew up in a blink of my eye.

Well, I'm like a lone wolf!

I guess I'll just work

and live honestly

and complete my life

as a good man.

You've got a lot of nerve, stranger!

I advise you to pay up!!

And if I refuse?

Threats won't work on me!

Let's take him down!

Your parents gave you life.

Treat it better!

Hello!

Outside!

Huh?

Look outside!

Oh, good evening, sir!

Tama Cemetery

Sorry for the surprise visit.

You know, I appreciate you

looking after my man, Handa.

Oh, no. I appreciate the opportunity.

Handa and I are

like good friends.

Friends?

Yes, he told me everything.

Because of that, I'd like to ask

a special favor of you.

Oh?

Two million yen.

What?

Handa is engaged.

So, we are asking all his friends

for an engagement gift.

Two million yen per person.

What?!

Are you nuts?!

The money for your dream house

I heard that Handa

helped a lot with that.

If you act like you're not

his friend anymore

I might have to burn it down!

Ouch! It's hot! Stop!

Well then, I'll come by in three

days to collect the money.

Construction Permit for

Masami Hirukawa

Have a nice day.

One million yen.

Can you wait a little while?

I promise to pay you the rest.

Then, I'll pay the rest for now.

The remaining two million yen.

That's not right.

It should only be one million yen.

Handa was injured

and is in the hospital.

You'll pay, right?

To show your sympathy.

Makabe, you b*stard!

Oh, no! No!

Wait a second!

Please don't! They'll never give up!

You'll be k*lled!

I can't turn back!

That is a man's path.

The adjacent jurisdiction

seems to be very busy.

I heard a masked man

is robbing the area.

I'm glad it's not happening

in our jurisdiction.

Brother, are you just going to

let them do whatever they want?!

I'm surrounded by

violence and crime.

The path I'm about to follow

is a very dangerous one.

A path that a real man

must go through.

I abandoned my love,

my tears and my life.

Now I just howl at the starlit sky.

The lone wolf's song is in my head.

I'm blowing in the wind

and floating over the world.

But I know I'll eventually

fall into red blood.

I'd like to bloom as

a beautiful red flower

even though my life's dream

has never bloomed.

But at the end of my journey

it just might happen.

My red flower just might bloom.

Brother!

I must settle this as a man.

In Musashino City, a string

of robberies have occurred.

The local police considering this

to be the work of one person.

Witnesses have reported the

suspect to be in his 40's or 50's

wearing a pink mask, and a blue

I'm begging you.

Please don't let me do this anymore.

I'm sorry that I squeezed

Handa for too much.

I promise I'll never bother him!

You are mistaken, Mr. Hirukawa.

I'm merely trying to get back the

five million yen that I lent you.

Five!

Five million?!

Please forgive me!

I'm a policeman.

I have a wife and child.

My daughter is going

to college next year.

Mr. Hirukawa, do you know

that your happiness

was built upon

someone else's misfortune?

For your wife and daughter

someone has to suffer.

You understand?

Here, this is for you.

It should give you

some encouragement.

The weakness in

your heart will go away.

Huh, who are you?

I'm

I am no one!

A floating weed!

I'm here to!

Pay back what I owe!

- Ouch!

- b*stard!

Wait!

Don't sh**t!

Where is the girl?

I'm asking you,

where is the money?!

Are you all right?

I'm here to save you.

Stop! We've been saving

that money for twenty years.

It's the money to buy our house.

Don't worry!

Young Lady, you're all right now.

It's you.

I! I!

I still don't know your name!

You have to

You have to

I'm home!

What's happened to you?

You have to!

call me DADDY!!

I am no one!

A floating weed!

Hirukawa?!

Hirukawa!

Ouch!

Are you all right?

Oh! It's you Ikari.

Hey, don't say such things!

Why not?

You shouldn't say that kind of thing.

Is that your daughter's?

Is that your daughter's?

Oh, this?

She forgot this at her cram school,

so she wanted me to pick it up.

She doesn't see

a father's dignity in me.

What's the matter?

Something's bothering you.

Shonen Bat? Is that it?

- Hirukawa

- Hirukawa

- Oh!

Look at this!

It's Rising Sun Sakura matches!

That's very classic.

Hirukawa, why do people

commit crimes?

Oh, it's just because

There are so many reasons.

Hey, master, you've got

Rising Sun Sakura brand here.

That's really classy stuff.

Thanks.

Hey, I'm giving you a compliment.

Don't just say thanks.

Right?

Yes, there are so many reasons.

And our job is to find out

what those reasons are.

- Isn't it?

- Isn't it?

- That's right!

But, they may not have

so many reasons anymore.

Investigating is footwork!

Visit the crime scene 100 times!

A crime that has no motive

And now "no motive" has

become a motive for crime.

No matter how hard I look for

a connection or reasons

there just isn't one anymore.

That's the kind of

generation we're living in now.

- Master, I'll have that Koya Tofu.

- Master, I'll have that Koya Tofu.

- OK!

Think about the victims

when you're in a slump.

The criminal will always return

to the scene of the crime!

However

Well

That's why I'm going to

find the assailant.

I'm going to grab hold

of this generation!

I see! You are investigating

the generation!

Great! Go for it!

Get this generation in your grasp!

Go speedy on the broadband!

Our generation's time is coming soon.

Yes.

No one can stop us now.

Stop me

Stop me!

Please stop me!

Somebody please stop me!

Please!

Stop me!

I can't take it anymore!

Somebody!

Can't somebody stop me?!

That hurts!

Why the hell did you do that?

Wait!

You b*stard!

Come on you damn brat!

Why did you do that?

Stupid little jerk!

How do you like this!

Come on! as*h*le!

as*h*le! as*h*le!

The serial street attacker

of Musashino city

who has been terrorizing people

was finally arrested last night.

With few witnesses, the investigation

had been progressing slowly.

Surprisingly the man

who caught the suspect

was an off-duty police officer

who works at a

sub-station in the area.

A press conference

will be held shortly

in front of the police sub-station

where he works.

Can you tell us how you

arrested the suspect?

Officer Masami Hirukawa (Age 48)

Officer Masami Hirukawa (Age 48)

Well, I was

You've started smoking again?

You can start the questioning now.

Oh, thanks.

Hey, chief

Yeah

To begin with

Guided by the red rays

The road that divides

the present from the past

The rising sun cherry blossom

that steals your breath

In a thicket before you know it

The princess is possessed

The sacred sword knocks at the door

The surprise when it opens

Charge!

Well
