MISSION: YOZAKURA FAMILY

PLAN 27
MISSION COMPLETE/RECEPTION

[beeping]

Kyoichiro! He's going
to blow up any second now!

[Kyoichiro] I'm aware of that.
We'll finish him off with our next move.

Formation Sakura Roots.

Our axis... will be Taiyo!

What?

Taiyo?

[Nanao] Won't that be dangerous?

Huh. Should be interesting!

Not sure what you're going for, but...

We're just going to have to do it.

[♪ opening theme song playing]

- Let's go, Taiyo.
- Right. [grunts]

Can't believe they're making
the most ordinary one lead the charge.

[Kyoichiro] Puppet Child.

[Kawashita] Ah...

[all clones] Super Taiyo Festival!

[Shinzo] Melting Rock Glaive!

- Now, Big Sis!
- 'Kay.

There!

You just don't learn, do you?

What good would these rocks do now?

[Kyoichiro] That's right,
it's just a barrage.

But one that happens to have...

a slightly irregular stone in the mix.

Enveloped in Shinzo's Turmeric,

disguised as a rock by Kengo,

guided by Shion's calculations,

with Nanao's gas reinforcing his body,
and the support of my threads,

he's become a blade fired by Futaba...

arriving unnoticed at his feet.

An infiltration formation used to counter
underground expl*sives and bunkers...

Sakura Roots.

And Taiyo suggested it because...

Big Bro Kyoichiro!

[Kyoichiro] ...he was sure that Kawashita
had something stored under his feet.

This is the fourth mission,
shared by only you and me.

We're going to recover my mother's body
without the other siblings catching on

and lay her to rest on the Yozakura land
where she was born.

[Taiyo] With my enhanced eyes,
I can just barely see them.

Shining threads!

They must be...

[grunts]

Correct.

[Kawashita] These red threads

are crystallized someinine
woven by Yozakura blood.

The Yozakura blood and heart,

which never decompose even after death,
are too strong for humankind.

But they can be used
as the foundation for spreading Hazakura.

In order to protect Hazakura
and gain the power to spread it,

I've had my body linked
to the body of the ninth head.

Sever these,
and it will stop the flow of someinine,

render me unable to maintain
my supply of Hazakura, and destroy me.

It's impossible for humans
to destroy this crystalized structure.

Even if, by chance,
one thread were to be slashed,

the someinine leaked from
that severed end would react with the air,

and create a huge expl*si*n.

Neither you nor the ninth head's corpse
would last two seconds.

[Taiyo grunts]

[Kawashita gasps]

[Taiyo] I know I don't stand a chance!

But...

I can go beyond my limit over and over!

[Mutsumi] I'm not going anywhere.

[Taiyo] Because Mutsumi is
always by my side!

I'll surpass my limits
as many times as it takes!

[all gasping]

Three times.

So, the mission's complete.

As a defensive power, Hardening is
ill-suited for simple attacks.

[Kyoichiro] However,

that's precisely why,
in the case of this mission,

it's the hardest blow,
that only Taiyo can unleash.

[Shion] There's been a change
in Kawashita.

His Hazakura levels are going down!

[Kawashita] I can't maintain my body.

The Hazakura is leaking.

No way out of it.

I'll use my remaining strength
to detonate and release it into the ocean.

Then my plan, while incomplete,
will be a success!

- [all gasp]
- [Nanao] Oh, no!

[Futaba] Storm Scabbard!

I've sealed the energy from the expl*si*n.

Now you're going to pay
for what you did to our family,

Makoto Kawashita.

[Nanao] Purification!

I've crystallized
the Hazakura in your body.

You won't be able to blow it up now!

[Kengo] Synchro.

[Shion] Bring down Kawashita's
someinine output to 10%.

[Kengo] Gotcha!

Serpent Wheel!

[Shion] Shrink him down to normal size
at a rate of 1% per second.

Roger that.

[Kyoichiro] Hollow Cocoon.

I've sent countless microscopic threads
throughout your body,

which are themselves harmless.

That said, once they've permeated
every inch of your cells,

they'll open you up
to all kinds of things.

[Taiyo] Accept it,

the judgment coming to you,

with your whole body!

Lightning Strike!

[Kawashita] I'm being disassembled
in my entirety.

[exhales]

[Tsubomi] Kawashita?

As it turns out,
your way didn't work, did it?

You were too kind.

[Kawashita] I guess you're right.

But I did get to enjoy myself immensely.

Thanks for indulging me all this time.

[Tsubomi] I'm the one
who should be thanking you.

I can now take the knowledge and results
from your long years of research

and hand those over to him.

The foundation that you built
will not have been for nothing.

One hundred years.

It was a brief but enjoyable time.

Thank you.

And...

Goodbye, Kawashita.

[rumbling, crackling]

The Hazakura and someinine output...

has been halted.

[Taiyo panting]

[grunts]

Kyoichiro here.

We've captured Kawashita.

Everyone, check in.

Rin here. We've rescued the test subjects.

Hotokeyama here.
We've subdued what's left of them.

Thanks, Mutsumi.

No, Taiyo.

I should be...

Good work!

[Mutsumi] Mission: Yozakura Front Lines

complete!

[sighs]

[Ban] What a beautiful cove.

Momo.

Instead of saving Kawashita,
you stood by and watched,

and then left the island
as soon as he lost.

You really are heartless.

You're not denying it?

Well, why would you?

From the start, you were never
going to do more than observe.

The only thing that's important to you...

is Rei's heart.

She's my daughter.
Why don't you hand it over?

[Momo] I can't do that.

Because it belongs to my wife and me.

Well, you have a point.

Guess I have no choice but to give up.

Like that would ever happen.
You scumbag son!

[Ban] Da Capo!

[Momo] Even my Winter Daphne
can't absorb it all.

Impressive.

You gave me one last good memory.

Goodbye, Father.

Damn you.

[Mutsumi] Incident report...

Makoto Kawashita, an executive
of the lawless organization, Tanpopo,

was arrested in his research lab
on Skeleton Island.

He stands accused
of weapons manufacturing, abduction,

human experimentation
and other numerous crimes.

We will meet with the Spy Association,
the police, and other organizations

to determine his sentence.

His test subjects, armed henchmen,
and the leaders of enemy faction Nijibana,

will be placed under the surveillance
and protection of each organization

after careful examination of their charges
and extenuating circumstances.

A detailed report and invoice will follow.

Please confirm receipt.

[yawns]

The tenth head of the Yozakura family,
Mutsumi Yozakura.

[mechanical bird squawking]

It's this late already?

[Mutsumi] I pulled an all-nighter.

[exclaims]

Nyaah!

Sorry, Mutsumi.
I was onto you 100 meters out.

That's my spy!

[Mutsumi] Thanks for doing
all this weeding.

Sorry, I only learned by example,
so I'm not sure if the offering's right.

[Mutsumi] You nailed it!

Blue carnations
are my mother's and my flowers.

Even if she's passed away,

the head's blood never disappears,
and it resonates with me.

I can tell that she's right here.

Such an important mission,
and you kept it a secret from us.

Uh--

As the eldest son, I kept it a--

- Shut up, you arrogant fool!
- [grunts]

[Taiyo] The reaction was epic.

Retrieving your mother,
Kawashita, the test subjects,

we succeeded in all that.

But in the end, we couldn't find out
anything about your father.

[Taiyo] I promise you that I'll finish
the job one day, so wait for me.

Sure. First, though...

[Mutsumi] I should pay my respects
to your father, mother, and brother.

ASANO FAMILY

[Taiyo] Right.

[Mutsumi] Taiyo?

Thank you.

Sure.

[Taiyo] And so, we all returned
from our spy mission

back to our daily lives as a family.

[yawns]

Good morning,

Taiyo.

Huh?

You're late, bridegroom!

[Taiyo] Huh?

Come on, let's get going.

Go? Go where?

To the Yozakura-style
wedding reception, of course.

Wedding reception?

[Futaba] Thank you for coming

to Mutsumi Yozakura and Taiyo Asano's
wedding reception today.

Aside from those currently under arrest,
in exile, or deceased,

we are truly grateful
to have you all here.

We hope you enjoy yourselves till the end.

[all applauding]

What is this?

Just what it looks like.
A wedding reception.

For our work circle.

[Mutsumi] Just like newly appointed CEOs
in normal companies make the rounds,

we hold this event to introduce
the new Yozakura head and her husband

to those in the underworld
and everyone we do business with.

[Taiyo] Well, some of them are clearly
not here for the introduction part.

[Mutsumi] Oh, it's all right.

You know how so many people in this
industry have all kinds of baggage?

This is one day that everyone
can forget which side they're on

and just let loose.

If you don't want to get pinched now,

give up everything you know
about the boss of that black market route.

Or I'm tossing you all in jail.

Come on, man. Give us a break.

They're letting loose in a disturbing way.

But sorry for surprising you like that.

They suddenly decided
this morning to do this.

This morning?

[Mutsumi] A scammer who just
broke out of prison yesterday,

a back-alley doctor
who has to operate tomorrow,

an artist spy
in the middle of a world tour...

It's really hard to schedule things
when you work in the underworld.

I see.

Also, since we just finished
the mission on Skeleton Island,

the timing seemed to be right.

[woman] Mr. Taiyo?

The oldest currently active spy,
Mr. Fuma would like to meet you.

- [Mr. Fuma mumbling]
- U-Uh...

Thank you very--

[gasps]

[Mr. Fuma laughs]

Dodging my wedding gift...

Not half bad!

Grandpa! Grandma!

So sorry.
He just couldn't contain his excitement.

How long has it been
since we last disguised ourselves?

Well, it's a reception,
so I couldn't resist.

We must congratulate our grandchildren

with plenty of murderous intent!

[Taiyo] Scary! What do you mean? Scary!

[Kyoichiro] In the underworld,
a reception is not only a celebration,

but also a place to determine
if you're worthy of it.

As someone you'll be sharing risks with
as a colleague, it won't do to be weak.

That goes for the family, too.

This is a venue to testing
how trustworthy the new head's system is.

That's the tradition at
Yozakura-style wedding receptions!

[Taiyo] A fish?

[Kyoichiro] This is
the Congratulatory Suit

worn by the eldest child
on joyous occasions.

It's a tradition.

What a drastic turnaround
from the other day's serious mission!

[laughing]

In other words, at this reception,

Mutsumi's and your lives
will be on the line

as they test you to see
whether you're worthy as work allies.

[Ban] Make sure this reception
doesn't turn into a funeral!

If only you'd finished off Momo
at Rei's reception...

Then we wouldn't be in this
complicated mess right now. [laughs]

Not funny! Not funny at all!

Anyway, that's the story.

But it's not like I want you to die.

And I'm not wearing this black tie,
which is meant for funerals

and is a faux pas at receptions
just to rub it in your face, okay?

[Taiyo] Oh man, it's been a while
since he's been like this.

[Kyoichiro] I'll guard Mutsumi
with my life.

Meaning that
the biggest target here today...

- Huh?
- ...is you, Taiyo.

I'd have to agree!

[Kyoichiro] Now then, everyone.

He's got a bounty on his head,
so he's the perfect wedding favor!

You b*stard!

- Look here, Kyoichiro.
- [Taiyo screaming]

That's enough of that.

[Taiyo] Mutsumi?

No, it's not her.

Is it...

Mo...

Mom!

[young Mutsumi] Mama!

What are you recording this for, Mom?
I'm not doing anything wrong.

It's a video letter
for Mutsumi's wedding reception.

I just know that you'll be up to no good,
so I thought I'd scold you in advance.

That's two-year old Mutsumi,

which makes me seven.

[Mutsumi] I can't believe she left behind
a video like this...

What are you talking about, Mom?

I adore Mutsumi and would
never stir up trouble at her celebration.

Big Bro, no!

[Rei] It's because you adore her
so much that I'm worried.

Futaba! I wasn't aware
that this video existed!

Of course not.

Mom gave it to me
for safekeeping years ago.

So I could use it against you.

There, there. You're safe now, Mutsumi.

[young Mutsumi] Big Sis!

[Nanao] You sure haven't changed at all,
Big Sis Futaba!

[Shion] You're like a phantom.

Let me go! Give me back my Mutsumi!

[Shinzo] And Big Bro
hasn't changed one bit either.

[Kengo] He's a pervert.

Come on, now. Don't fight, children.

[Nanao] Mom.

[♪ sentimental music playing]

Mom...

I'm seven, so I'm really strong, you know!

I'm the eldest son!
Now, hand over Mutsumi!

We started going
on missions at the same age.

Try and take her back if you can!

[all grunting]

Congratulations on getting married, Mutsumi.

I'm sure it's way more
of a mess over there than it is here.

Who knows, Kyoichiro might even
try to k*ll your husband.

[Taiyo and Mutsumi] Mother
sure knows best!

The other day, your father
came this close to dying, you see.

And that made me think
that I might not have much longer myself,

so I decided
to record this video in a hurry.

[Taiyo] She's saying these terrifying
things without batting an eyelash.

And the reality is way too heavy.

I have no clue
what the right way to respond would be.

I'm sorry for bringing you all
into such a chaotic family.

But it gave me great joy
to spend time with you.

[Rei] I want you to have a family
that will make you feel that way too.

That's what I wish for you.

Mom.

[Rei] And to you, Mutsumi's husband.

Thank you for choosing Mutsumi.

Supporting her in her destiny
will be extremely difficult,

but I'm counting on you
to look after my daughter.

I will!

Acting like her husband!

[Nanao] He is her husband, Big Bro!

Big Sis Mutsumi!

I think we've reached the time limit!

[chuckles] All right, then.

[Mutsumi] Everyone, thank you for
coming today. We're truly grateful to you.

As the tenth head of the Yozakura family,

I promise to do all that I can
to protect the Yozakura spy family

left to me by my predecessor, my mother.

I hope I can count on
your continued support.

[all applauding]

And now, ladies and gentlemen,
please stand up.

As we embark
on a new chapter of our lives,

please see us off
in a thunderous barrage of b*ll*ts.

What?!

At the end, the bride and groom

walk down the aisle
under a hail of baptismal b*ll*ts.

That's another Yozakura-style
wedding reception tradition!

[Taiyo] I object to your traditions!

- [♪ ending theme song playing]
- [Mutsumi] Don't worry.

Everyone will be protecting us.

Come on, let's go!

I'm still counting on you, Taiyo.

[Taiyo] Right!

For Mutsumi, me,

and the Yozakura spy family...

this was our new chapter.

MISSION: YOZAKURA FAMILY
