01x03 - The Man Who Stands at the Top

[bunniefuu]

Nice, nice! Sparks are flying!

What's so nice about this?

But, Sakura-kun,

when you're in front of Sugishita-san

you really shouldn't have said

"I came here to be the top."

You b*stard.

Sugishita-kun has been visiting here

since he was in middle school,

and after his passion and talents

were recognized,

he was allowed to call himself a part of

Bofurin before he even got to high school.

What's more, his extreme loyalty

to our current top, or rather,

his worship of him

makes him a fanatic to the

And here you are,

saying you'll usurp him, so yeah.

Don't just stir things up! Stop him!

Me? Why don't you stop them, then?

We can't!

If you don't stop him,

he'll k*ll that outsider!

Too bad, you missed.

A fanatic, eh?

That means you can't think for yourself

or decide anything on your own, right?

As if I'd lose to a guy like that!

Sakura-san.

One, two. One, two. Testing, testing.

Which button am I supposed to press?

What? It's already on?

Why didn't you say anything?

I did!

What the hell?

Welcome, all new students!

Quiet it down, moron! Just talk normally!

But it's important

to make a good first impression.

Your regular voice is loud already!

Do you want complaints from the neighbors?

What the hell?

Things were just gettin' good.

What are those b*stards doing?

Come on! Let's get this going again!

What happened? The air's stiff

Who is this guy?

ON AIR

Well, let's get back to it.

This is the Bofurin rep, Hajime Umemiya.

This guy is Furin's top!

The strongest guy in Furin!

Sorry! I forgot what I was gonna say!

Oh, right!

You guys better enjoy your youth!

That's right, youth!

YOUTH

You guys made it to high school,

after all!

Go make loads of memories

and live a meaningful school life!

Like going to the beach or the mountains!

By the way, I'm a beach guy myself!

Wow, I really couldn't care less.

All right! Let's all go to

the beach this summer!

Let's chow on some shaved ice!

Shaved ice?

You got a problem with that?

Nothing! Nothing at all!

I am honored to hear the teachings

of your great god and savior!

Ah, right. I said "everyone" out of habit,

but with this many people,

some of you may not get along well.

A lot's gonna happen from now on, too.

Well, I doubt anyone will be

punching each other on the first day!

STARE

RUB RUB

I'm not asking y'all to be best buds,

but try to behave, 'kay?

You can wipe blood off your nose,

but we all saw you fighting.

What the heck? He was

the one who attacked me first!

And also, I gotta say this

at the very least

All of you

Protect our town.

We're given the name "Bofurin,"

"Chime of the Wind Breaker."

Live up to that name and protect

the people, the things, and the memories

of everything that's important to you!

That's the one and only rule here.

Yes, sir!

That's all!

I'm leaving the rest to you guys!

All right, I'm done!

Let's grab something to eat!

The mic is still on!

It's not like he's right in front of us

But why does it feel like

everyone's united?

Can someone make this happen

just by being good at fighting?

Umemiya

What sort of guy is he?

Hey, you two!

Don't you need to make up now?

I know! How about you shake hands?

SQUEEZE

To settle this! Like proper youth!

What?

Why do I have to do it with him? Besides,

we haven't settled! We're still fighting!

And he's the one who attacked me first!

Sakura-san, why is your face red?

As someone who strives for the top,

this should be trivial for you, right?

Sugishita-kun, what do you think

Umemiya-san is going to say,

if he hears you attacked your classmate?

We're really going to do a handshake?

For real?

Sakura-san! Hurry and take his hand!

I just gotta grab his hand, right?

Not punching him back or smack him away

Touching someone for

something other than fighting

feels really weird.

Nice, nice! Now this is youth!

CLENCH

What's so nice about this?

What is he, a gorilla?

Sakura-san!

That hurts! What are you doi

You're really somethin'!

You actually managed to hit Sugishita!

That kick was crazy, too!

You're so flexible, huh?

I bet he can walk while doing the bridge!

-Hey, I can do that!

-But come to think of it,

things like this keep happening

ever since I came to this town

Hey, why are you all quiet?

You didn't strangle him, did you?

As if I'd go down that easily!

A human body is a lot

warmer than I thought

Hey, you guys!

Get your butts outside. Come on.

Huh? We just got inside the classroom.

Also, who are you?

Sakura-san, that part is uneven!

What

I got some extra paint.

is this?

Nirei-kun, you're so good at painting.

Do you think so?

What is happening?

30 MINUTES AGO

What now?

We just got to the classroom.

Shut up!

Don't just stand there chatting!

Get your butts out to the field!

I'm gonna get yelled at

if you little punks are late!

He rolls his tongue a lot

What's keeping y'all so long?

It's been seven minutes, 48 seconds,

and 26 milliseconds!

Even preschoolers can

move faster than this!

He even counts to the milliseconds?

He's so particular.

He's from yesterday

Sakura-san, you know him?

Yesterday, when I saved

that girl from the café.

You mean Kotoha-san?

WHRRR

WHIZZING

That hurts, man! What are you do

I told you not to tell anyone

that Kotoha-chan was there too!

-Gross! Keep your spit to yourself!

-You really don't get it, do you?

-I wonder what they're talking about.

-Yeah, I wonder.

I told you it'll be such a pain in the a*s

if he finds out Kotoha-chan was in danger!

Anyway, Kotoha-chan wasn't there.

And don't tell anyone

what happened yesterday!

Or else

GASKUN 10

HEARTBURN RELIEF

-I'll throw up blood.

-Huh?

Good grief.

I have no idea why you'd

come here from outta town,

but you've ended up

under one hell of a captain.

Huh?

Sakura-san, what were you two

talking about?

Nothin'.

What? Then, what was he like?

A weirdo who was yellin' out of nowhere,

started hurtin', and took a Gaskun 10.

Gaskun 10?

A stomach medicine?

Why are you writing that down?

"Why"?

Hiragi-san is one of the

Four Kings of Bofurin!

Four Kings?

REPRESENTATIVE

FOUR KINGS

Umemiya-san's the top of Bofurin

and under him are the Four Kings.

Each one of them fulfills the role of

captain to one class in each grade.

So we're kinda like team one?

Since we're in class one.

Oh, not really.

Bofurin's Four Kings takes

after the Four Heavenly Kings.

So starting from team one, they're called

the Tamon, Jikoku, Zojo, and Komoku teams.

We're part of the Tamon team.

Split up into a group of four or five.

Each group will have

a second or third-year in it.

They'll be leading you,

so follow their instructions carefully.

Come on, let's go.

Go where? For what?

To patrol the town.

Patrolling aside

why do I have to be with him?

IGNORING

Didn't I tell you already?

Umemiya told me to keep my eye on you two.

You two are coming with me.

Umemiya's orders.

In fact, you two already

got into a fight, didn't you?

We didn't! He tried to punch me,

so I just kicked him away!

Enough! Just walk and

keep a distance, okay?

-He's like a preschool teacher.

-Who're you callin' a teacher?

Also, you said patrollin',

but all we do is walk around.

If we're supposed to protect the town,

wouldn't it be better to just look

for the bad guys to beat instead?

You moron.

That's called attacking, not protecting.

Huh?

Walking around town serves a purpose.

Just by showin' up in our uniforms,

small teams are gonna stay far away.

We fight to protect.

There's no need for us

to pick a fight ourselves.

What's that supposed to mean?

That's so boring.

You're the boring one for

only finding joy in fist-fights!

Whoa, hey! Granny!

Stop it! It's dangerous!

You guys get over here!

Man, you guys are a lot of help!

They keep painting on the wall

each time we erase it.

There are a lot less of them now, though.

It's nothing, sir.

What the hell is this?

This is par for the course

for Bofurin members, too.

Hey, owner!

We're done over here.

Man, thank you so much!

NICE AND WARM

Here, take this.

Thanks!

Thank you!

TAIYAKI WAFFLE CAKE

You're not having fun unless it's a fight?

It's not that I don't get it.

We were all like that before.

But

talking with people

and being needed by them

that kinda stuff can be pretty fun, too.

IZAKAYA ASAGAO

BEER, YAKITORI, HOT PO

Is it a restaurant district beyond here?

Dog?

What an ugly mutt.

Sakura-san!

You shouldn't say that!

We don't know if those guys are close!

Those guys?

We're right at the border between

Bofurin and another team's turf.

We mustn't cause any trouble

past this tunnel at any cost!

Just like how every country

has its own laws,

our rules here don't mean

a thing over there.

The team that controls the turf

beyond this point is

The devotees of power, Shishitoren!

Huh, "the devotees of power"?

Not bad. I like the sound of that.

Stop right there!

That's San Middle's uniform!

What are you doing over there?

Hurry and get over here!

Behind him!

That orange baseball jacket

It's Shishitoren!

Dammit! He's not gonna make it

past the tunnel!

Hey, b*stard. Get outta the way.

Why did they do that?

Taking on a member of

another team on their turf

What are you talking about?

If this guy is one of us

then they're the ones who struck first!

Wha

Wha

What are you two doing?

I'll take care of the rest.

Get back over there.

IGNORING

Listen to me!

What are you doing, man?

Well, crap. He's completely knocked out.

He went down with just one kick. Lame.

What's wrong with them?

Aren't they on the same team?

Hey, what's with all this?

I saw one of our guys runnin' by,

so I came all the way here.

Out of all people to show up,

it just had to be him?

Shishitoren's second-in-command,

Jo Togame!

What are Furin guys doing here?

Huh? Saruwatari? What happened to you?

What's up with this guy?

That guy was chasin' one of our own.

Oh, it's Hiragi.

Hello!

Why is he talking so slowly?

It's getting on my nerves!

Say

did those guys do this?

Seems like this guy's something special.

Ouch

You b*stards! Are you screwing with us?

We've got rules not to do crap

on other team's turfs!

Past this damn track

is Shishitoren's turf!

Don't act all high into our turf

"Our turf"?

But you lost.

That means you're weak.

You know already, don't you?

Weaklings

Stop it!

Huh? What?

Isn't he one of your guys?

Huh?

Who?

Surely not this guy.

Cuz he lost.

Losing means you're weak.

And the weak don't belong in Shishitoren.

How can they?

I heard the rumors, but they really

don't seem like the friendly type.

Lame.

You call yourself "devotees of power"

and this what you do?

Beatin' up weaklings is

what power means to you?

And here I thought you guys

would be kinda fun.

What a letdown.

A letdown, huh?

Hey, can you believe what he said?

Should we k*ll him?

Ah, don't worry about that.

More importantly

Look at your hair.

It's like an Othello board.

Huh? You only noticed now?

Also, dude, you talk way too fast.

Huh? You're just slow!

See?

I can't hear a thing you say

It's getting on my nerves.

All right. I've decided.

I'm gonna pummel you up on a proper stage.

I remember your face now.

I'll see you again, Othello-kun.

Othello, my a*s.

Hold up! What have you two done?

You have totally provoked a w*r!

This will be a w*r!

There, there. Calm down, Nirei-kun.

I missed my cue to interrupt you guys,

but after looking at that,

I'm glad I didn't.

Hiragi-san, please follow

the daily dose instructions

Besides, if you didn't stir him up

at the end there,

we could've gotten away with that kick!

Togame ain't that easygoing.

Among the guys in Shishitoren,

he's particular about their territory.

He wouldn't have let us go that easily.

Is that so?

DISAPPOINTED

What's done is done.

Besides, I should've been

the first one to step in.

Sorry.

Let's head back to school now.

You're from San Middle

I'm Sasaki.

You should come with us.

We gotta report everything to Umemiya.

Does he hate reporting

to Umemiya that badly?

He sounded pretty friendly

on the announcement, though.

Umemiya

What kind of guy is he?

What is this?

Wow!

Umemiya.

The top of Furin!

The strongest in the school!

Oh, Hiragi! Look at this!

The eggplants and green peppers

are growing strong!

We can have a BBQ

with everyone in the summer!

He's like an elementary school kid.

Is he strong?

Still, though. What should

we do about this desk?

Why are you asking me that?

I didn't break it.

But it all started because

you agitated Sugishita-san.

Whose side are you on?

You go say that to him!

Hey, Sugishita! Hey!

That b*stard! He's pretending to sleep!
