[clanking]
♪
That's not good enough.
What is your name?
Naka Hikage!
So it is.
Now tell me
your brother's name.
My brother
is called Tatsu Hikage.
That is correct.
We siblings are proud heirs
of the three-hundred-year-old
Hikage style of martial arts.
We must never fail
to demonstrate
our family's superior
self-discipline.
[NAKA]
I swear I will do my best
to live up
to our legacy, Brother.
Good, I expect no less.
♪
[NAKA] Once again
I've disappointed
my dear brother.
[footfall]
[TATSU]
That was far too close!
They're lucky
that mishap did not mar
my precious Naka's
adorable little face!
[KATSUDA FESTIVAL EMCEE]
We will now commence
the Ogiso Private
High School Katsuda
Grand Triple Festival!
The event for this year's
inter-class competition
is "cops and robbers"!
It starts at 2 P.M. sharp!
Join us to find out
which class will seize
a glorious victory!
[NISHIKI] Are you sure
you're okay with this?
This year,
you'll be the only cop.
These special rules mean
all of the other students
will be robbers.
Don't you think
that's too much of a handicap?
I'm not worried.
The real issue
is this "Yuki Yokoya."
She transferred in
as Hitoyoshi Yokoya's cousin.
Everything else
about her background
remains an enigma.
[TATSU]
Class 1-A.
The same one as my dear Naka.
[NISHIKI] She's participating
in today's competition.
Be careful.
Indeed.
It is possible that she's
one of our family's enemies
seeking out revenge.
I must know now.
So, I will be
investigating her personally
during my patrol.
♪
[door closes]
It's unusual for him
to handle this himself.
As suspected
Yuki Yokoya is likely
no mere student.
[NISHIKI] By the way,
what is Naka's class
doing for the event?
If I'm not mistaken.
Welcome to the
Mascot Cafe, meow!
[FEMALE STUDENT 9A]
Customers can choose
whichever headwear
they like best!
♪
[NAKA]
You see, the thing is,
I'm pretty sure my brother
doesn't like me very much.
By your brother
you mean President Hikage?
[NAKA]
Yes, him.
My brother has always
been obsessed with results,
a real perfectionist.
But me, I'm just his puny
and weak little sister.
[HITOYOSHI] I'm guessing that's
why you wanna win so badly?
That's right!
I know winning won't be easy,
but if I can show him
I'm capable
maybe he'll finally
see me as someone
who's a teeny
little bit worthy.
And also
[squeals]
Never mind, forget about it!
[HITOYOSHI] Sure seems like
Hikage has a hard time
talking in front of Ms. Yuki.
Don't worry!
Thanks to you, we scored
the info we needed
to win this thing.
True, winning
at cops and robbers
is about athletic prowess.
And each class has to choose
their best three participants.
[Yuki trembling]
[echoing]
You're Katsuda's Sauce?
[TAIGA (KATSUDA-MAN)]
I'm Katsuda-Man!
[HITOYOSHI]
Whoa, is that you, Taiga?
You're seriously
gonna compete like that?
Of course I'm gonna compete
dressed as the
invincible Katsuda-Man!
Oh, Kurokawa!
Wait and see!
[TAIGA] Yuki, Hikage,
and I are the golden trio!
We'll beat the crap
outta Mr. President for sure!
By the way, it occurs to me
that I've never really seen you
in action in any
of our gym classes.
That's because
I was always scared
I'd stand out too much.
[TOGETHER] Hmm.
[NAKA] Um, I'm not as fast
as my brother or anything,
but I'm really good at running.
I promise I won't let you down!
[YUKI] Do not worry.
- Uh?
- Hm?
When the outlook seemed bleak,
you parted all the clouds
with a ray of hope for victory.
I promise
to give it my all, too.
So let us join forces
to "beat the crap"
out of the student
council president.
Ms. Yuki.
Of course, you're right!
I will never "beat the crap"
out of my big brother
if I give up before I even try!
[YUKI] There!
That's the spirit!
[FEMALE STUDENT 9B]
Welcome to our cafe!
Let me get a menu for you.
[trembling]
[TATSU]
How dare you beguile my Naka,
teach her to use
such crude language
and scheme to drive a wedge
between two siblings!
Yuki Yokoya,
I will not forget this!
[birds chirping]
Taiga, so you're not really
competing as Katsuda-Man, yeah?
Sure, I am!
The Katsuda Festival
is all about the sauce!
It's on TV!
So, it's my chance to become
the number one local mascot!
[HITOYOSHI]
Dumbest idea ever.
Oh! TV!
I had forgotten
all about that part.
Is Ms. Yuki gonna be
cool being on camera?
Hey, Ms. Yuki, are you
[RIKO] Oh, I spy my big bro
and Ms. Yuki!
I looked everywhere for you!
Kobachi told me you've
all been slacking off bad.
[gasps]
What delinquents!
Yeah well we were in charge
of running the cafe
all morning,
so we're off duty
for the afternoon.
Ms. Yuki is in the
competition later.
[RIKO] Boo, so I can't see you
all at the cafe then?
[TAIGA] Sorry, kiddo!
[grunts]
You'll have to make do
with this little one.
Put me down now.
[RIKO] Aww, I get it.
Yeah, you got it, lil missy.
He's pouty.
Stop patting my head, Taiga!
- [laughing]
- That's it, I'm leaving!
Hey, we're sorry,
don't go, Kobachi!
Look at that.
You're all quite close,
aren't you?
Yes.
[laughing]
Say, um
Do you
have people you would
consider friends, Ms. Yuki?
Do I have friends?
Oh! Forgive me!
I didn't mean
to imply that you didn't.
I was just curious,
so I asked a dumb question!
[trembling]
[sighing]
Truth is
the one who doesn't
have friends here
is actually me.
[NAKA] If you
wouldn't mind terribly, um
[groans]
Could you maybe
be friends with me?
If that's okay.
[sighs]
Yes, sounds lovely.
Let's be friends.
[gasps]
[HITOYOSHI] Ms. Yuki!
[NAKA] I have a friend.
[HITOYOSHI] Riko wants
to go to the festival with us.
- [Naka giggles]
- Understood.
Then off we go.
Wanna come along, Hikage?
It'll be lotsa fun!
[NAKA] Sorry, I still have
lots of things to check,
so I've gotta go right now!
[panting]
Huh.
She seemed stoked on something.
What was that all about?
[sighs]
Master Hitoyoshi.
Perhaps you could explain
what it means
to be friends with someone.
[HITOYOSHI] Huh?
[Naka giggles]
[NAKA] I'm really
friends with Yuki now!
My own friend.
But wait, if she somehow
finds out about the real me,
we can still be friends,
can't we?
Just to be safe.
I've gotta win this competition
and show Yuki
how useful I can be!

The Katsuda Festival
Executive Committee.
Their meeting room
is a bit far.
But if I focus, I should
still be able to hear them.
Competition rules?
♪
[gasps]
Ha?
[gasps]
Oh, no!
[crowd cheering]
Almost time
for today's main event.
The inter-class
cops-and-robbers competition
is about to begin!
We've got a special guest.
Say hi, Nazca!
Hello, Katsuda family!
Are you enjoying
that tasty sauce?
Nazca loves you!
[crowd cheering]
Today's rules are super simple!
[KATSUDA FESTIVAL EMCEE]
If President Hikage catches
all the robbers
and throws them in jail,
the cops win.
But if any escape,
the robbers win!
Don't forget,
to shake things up,
a robber can escape from jail
if they're touched by a free
robber from the same class.
My, doesn't that put
the robbers at an advantage?
Yep!
And there's one more rule,
which Nazca will be
announcing right now!
Here it is.
The new rule requires
the following.
All contestants must wear
whatever they wore
for their class store,
with absolutely no exceptions!
I'm sorry.
If I had gotten ahold
of this information sooner
we could have used it
to our advantage.
[NAKA]
I'm fine, but as for you two.
[TAIGA (KATSUDA-MAN)]
I was already planning
on rocking this getup, remember?
[Yuki sighs]
I'll tell you what a friend is.
♪
[YUKI] Ms. Hikage, you have
nothing to apologize for.
We're friends, after all.
And a friend is someone
who helps out
when their friend is in need.
So, let us work together
to claim victory
over your brother.
Ms. Yuki.
[YUKI] Besides.
It's kinda bulky,
but you can hide your face.
We don't want any other
assassins spotting you.
[YUKI] Master felt that
it would be ill-advised
for me to appear on television.
[TAIGA (KATSUDA-MAN)]
Katsuda-Man is here!
[YUKI] This mascot onesie
actually works in my favor.
[KATSUDA FESTIVAL EMCEE]
All righty!
Is everyone ready to roll?
The time limit
is fifteen minutes!
Which class will make Student
Council President Hikage
suffer cruel defeat?

[TATSU]
Naka is so dang cute!
[NAKA] Hoppity hop!
Hm?
[Tatsu chuckles]
[TATSU] Smiley Smiley.
[sighs]
[gasps]
[screaming]
Is there something
bothering you?
[NAKA] No, I'm all right.
But if I look
at my brother right now,
I might lose my nerve
and freeze in place.
[TATSU]
Have I been shunned?
Why are you hiding
behind another?
Tell me, Naka!
Ya?
[gasps]
Her, Yuki Yokoya!
You are the root of all evil!
Your sins
shall not go unpunished!
Wow, it seems the prez
is totally fired up this year!
Yes, indeed!
[HITOYOSHI] The president
may be at a huge disadvantage,
but I can't help
feeling anxious.
Go get 'em, Ms. Yuki!
[KATSUDA FESTIVAL EMCEE]
Without further ado.
Robbers, please scatter!
[running footsteps]
[NISHIKI]
Why does Tatsu look so angry?
[MIZUCHI] Who knows?
[KATSUDA FESTIVAL EMCEE]
Um, excuse me!
Enome siblings, you're heading
straight for the cop!
It's not against the rules
to get caught on purpose.
[NISHIKI] As members
of the student council,
we can't afford to get injured.
So, we intend
to support our president
from within the jail.
Hurry up and begin.
Ahh, well, um.
Okay.
[KATSUDA FESTIVAL EMCEE]
As I was saying,
let the match begin now!
[growling]
What the?
[screaming]
[KATSUDA FESTIVAL EMCEE]
Holy moly, how unexpected!
We're witnessing
a superhuman power play!
What the what?
He's a human bulldozer!
This isn't good.
[KATSUDA FESTIVAL EMCEE]
The prez is unstoppable!
The robbers are losing
their will to fight!
[groaning]
Oh, come on, people!
What is this?
[KATSUDA FESTIVAL EMCEE]
We're just three minutes in,
and there are only
three robbers left!
And all three are from
Class 1-A's Mascot cafe!
[NAZCA] Yay,
fight the good fight,
Katsuda's Sauce!
[Taiga gasps]
[TAIGA] Whoa, Nazca
is looking right at me!
She's expecting greatness!
Oh, yeah!
You can count on Katsuda-Man!
You're going down!
I'm gonna destroy you, bro!
Because I am

[TATSU] You'll pay dearly
for ensnaring my sweet Naka.
Yuki Yokoya!

Um, Ms. Yuki?
Maybe we should split up now.
No.
It is far too late for that.

Please, stop!

Ah?
[TATSU]
What is this aura I feel?
No matter.
I'll shut you down,
here and now, for good!
[NAKA] I should escape
but
Yes sounds lovely.
Let's be friends.
[explosion]
[TATSU] Ah!
That smoke could only be
[squeaks]
[TATSU] Ha?
- [screaming]
- Wait, what the heck?
What is even
going on right now?
An illusion!
One second,
there's a huge smokescreen,
and the next, bam!
The widdle bunny
went flying into the air
instead of the wolf!
[YUKI] Was that Ms. Hikage?
I'll tell you what a friend is.
Someone you can be
a complete fool around.
Ya get it?
[YUKI] A fool?
[HITOYOSHI]
Well, that's just one example.
People can have a bunch of
different kinds of friendships.
Back in the day, folks
called my friends and me
"The Three Stooges."
[YUKI] Can you only be friends
if you've been acquainted
for a long time?
Oh no, that definitely
isn't the case.
But you see,
I've been through
some especially
tough times in the past
and yet those two guys
never gave up on me.
[HITOYOSHI]
They changed my life,
and I could never
thank them enough.
So, I hope if they
ever need my help one day
I can be there for them just
like they were there for me.
Anyway, that's what
friendship means to me.
♪
Could you maybe
be friends with me,
if that's okay?
[YUKI] I believe I know
what friendship means.

Darling Naka!
Try not to push yourself
too hard.
It is just a silly festival.
But you're wrong.

This is important.
It means something.

And with that bunny toss,
we're at the ten-minute mark!
The prez has completely frozen!
What in the world
is happening here?
Oh my gosh!
Is this one of those
showdown kind of things?
First to blink loses?
I can't believe
[HITOYOSHI]
I dunno, looks like the dude
is in a wicked state of shock.
But even weirder, Ms. Yuki
seems like she's distracted.
♪
[Tatsu grunting]
Little Naka.
[YUKI]
Winning is my top priority,
I need only evade him
for two more minutes.
One problem.
I must do so
while avoiding exposure.
And more pressingly,
I must avoid a man
who exudes the scent
of Katsuda's Sauce.
Is that aroma
intended to ensnare me?
Stay vigilant.
That girl's impressive.
She's giving Tatsu a hard time.
That's right,
Ms. Yuki is amazing.
Yeah, Ms. Yuki,
I know you can do it!
[Tatsu grunts]
[sighs]
[growling]
[KATSUDA FESTIVAL EMCEE]
That tense silence has been
broken at last!
The prez and the mysterious
wolf are evenly matched!
Just who is this person?
[TATSU] This woman
isn't giving an inch!
[YUKI] Takoyaki.
Okonomiyaki.
Yakisoba.
I'm so hungry.
[TATSU]
I don't know what foul plans
you have for Naka
but know this!
The bond between
the Hikage siblings
cannot be broken.
Not by the likes of you,
wolfie!

[YUKI]
I wonder what's for dinner.
There's just
one thing I don't get.
[trembling]
♪
How can you casually
hang around my sister
as though
you're already friends?
[TATSU] To be her friend
is to be special to her.
It's nonsense!
What do you know of her?
Nothing!
You don't know a single thing
about her pain and suffering!
It's just a matter of time
until you plunge her
into despair!
A friend is someone
Perhaps you could explain
what it means
to be friends with someone.
[Yuki whispers]
special.
So back off!
I'll stop you
before that happens.
[thudding]
[grunts]
No way.
Whoa, did she just throw Tatsu?
Oh jeez.
Prez was thrown to the ground
like an old sack of potatoes!
[KATSUDA FESTIVAL EMCEE] Who is
this mysterious wolf warrior?
Coward!
Don't you dare
run away from this!

I won't let you win!
Only twenty seconds left!
Is the wolf going
to attempt a prison break?
Go for it!
[gasps]
♪
[YUKI] Ms. Naka.
When I answered your request,
the truth is I did not truly
understand what friendship was.
Now, I do.
At least, I am starting to.
Because I have someone
who's special to me.
If I could become someone
like that to you one day,
that would make me happy.
And so I must ask,
if you don't mind,
will you be my friend?

Game over!
That was so intense!
All the way
until the final whistle!

It's over?
I don't get what happened.
I'm pretty sure
that our class just won.
She tagged Hikage
to break her out of jail.
She must have done it
on purpose, yeah?
Yeah, maybe.
But aren't they
in the slammer right now?
They were both definitely
one-hundred thousand percent
in jail when that whistle blew.
So, Ms. Yuki maybe
didn't really understand
the rules in the end?
[KATSUDA FESTIVAL EMCEE]
The winner is President Hikage!
The student council,
class 2-E,
has won for the second year
in a row!

Ha!
Now, let's go have a word
with that brave wolf!
What a great competition!
Don't stop rolling!

- Man, not good!
[HITOYOSHI] If she gets
interviewed while catatonic,
they'll eat her for breakfast!
Talk to us, Prez.
Wolfie, what was going

Since I learned
of the Katsuda Festival,
my heart's been fluttering.
It won't stop.
It's a slightly
different sensation
than being with you, Master.
And after the battle
was finally over,
I felt this strange emotion.
And you don't
want it to end.

- Yeah.

having fun.
It is going to end soon.
The festival.
[HITOYOSHI]
I mean, this was only
our first cultural
festival together.
We lost this year, yes,
but there is always next year.
Next year?
We can devise
an even better plan of attack
and take our revenge
against the president's class!
I've never had to think
as far ahead
as next year before.
[YUKI] I lived as though
I could die at any moment.
But here,
my former reality feels
as distant as a fading dream.
In this world, you can
reach out for tomorrow
and a future
with infinite possibilities.
I can think about things
like tonight's dinner
and make arrangements
to see my friends again
because the future is mine.
Speaking of dinner,
I'm starving.
I think I want tonkatsu!
How about you?
