GIANT STEP

I'm the Basquasher, Dan JD!

Dan!

Hey, Dan!

Hey, I said, hey!

Man, shut up!

Hey, you Bigfoot there!

Put a lid on it or I'm gonna have to kick your ass!

There's only so much crap I can take, so...

Hey!

The hell?

The bastard jumped straight to basquatting...

Hey, this happened once before, right?

Bastard.

He thinks it's all going his way.

God dammit!

You! Bring it on!

Have you lost your mind?

Shut up!

We'll die!

We'll die, die, die!

I'll catch it if it's the last thing I do!

Gimme the best you got and I'll take it!

boku ga boku no mama irareru basho sagasou

I'm gonna look for a place where I can stay the way I am.

tsuki ni terasare hashiridasu yo

Lit by the moon, I set off running.

furui shakai nado shikato shite

Ignore the old world and the old ways;

bokura ga terashi ruuru ni nare

live by the rules we bring to light.

hora! buchikowase kono te de

Look! Break it down with your own hands.

kimi ga kimi no mama motomeru basho wa doko

Where's a place where you can stay as you are?

dare no iinari ni mou naru na yo

Don't listen any more when people tell you what to do.

yume wa shinjiru furikazase

Believe in dreams and flaunt your power.

boku ga boku no mama iru tame ni wa itsumo

For me to stay as I am, I need

shinjita omae wa tsuranukunda

you, who always believed in me, to stick by me all the way,

sou da saigo wa kisu shitai

and at the very end, I want to kiss you.

Say your prayers, pigs!

Get stinking drunk on the fleeting peace you'll get tonight!

Oh, Sela!

Gimme another beer!

Fried chicken for me!

Coming right up!

No problem!

No, wait!

No takebacks!

Aren't you a man?

And now, entertainment news.

As the Basquash boom continues to gain popularity,

the town of Tetrapall on the outskirts of Side Candy has...

So what's getting you down?

Oh, Alan has more than I thought!

Stop that, please!

These might really develop into something!

Th-that spot...

Where?

Now it's my turn!

Let's go!

There you go.

Try all you want,

but basketball is the only way I fight.

Come on. I'll let you play me.

As you can see,

here at Mooneyes' Aries Hospital,

crowds of Eclipse fans have gathered day after day.

Miss Sela, you are such a...

Well, it's just so cute when they fit in your hands!

Shh!

Their management has commented that for now,

Eclipse will take a break from appearances until Rouge's condition improves.

However, because they have said nothing about the name or severity of the illness,

some sources speculate that her condition may be more serious than originally believed.

Settle it, Dan!

Not a chance!

What kind of ball was that...?

I smell a tasty smell!

You think you can eat the ball?

I've never seen anything like that before!

You're not bad!

I'm Dan!

I'm Spanky!

Haven't seen that type of Bigfoot before either.

What model is that?

It's a fatso.

If it doesn't go on a diet it might...

His face is huge!

Too big to eat.

That's... not a Bigfoot?

I'm a person.

Miyuki showed me a photo!

Are you from the moon?

Moon?

You've been to the moon?

Well, I wouldn't say we've really been there...

We circled it and got slapped down...

And when we crash-landed back on Earthdash we went in a little too deep.

'Cause he's an idiot.

I see.

I'm Naviga.

Naviga, huh?

Well, I guess I'll call you "Navi" from now on.

Why leave off the "ga"?

Dan can't remember long names!

Shut up...

You're weird.

I'm not weird.

Destroy!

Destroy!

Overdoing things, as always.

Falcon!

Why are you here?

I heard a rumor that some guy who should've gone to the moon...

...was kicking up dust somewhere else completely.

Saying, "Scream my name and spread the word."

Underground.

So this is the town that stole your left arm and left leg.

Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!

Iceman Hotty.

The man who tried to fight me with nothing but a ball.

That's quite unique.

If you're going to bear a grudge, hate the legend, not me.

Legend?

The legend is what makes you a liability.

What are you talking about?!

Stop!

This is farewell.

Bad luck for you, brokedown legend.

No!!

Falcon, do you believe in the legend?

Legend?

I...

I have to find out.

I'm here, in this town, alive.

What does that mean?

I wasn't chosen. I was thrown away like trash.

Why was I drawn back here where it all began?

Maybe it's because I ought to live in shame.

That's philosophy.

No, that's the legend.

I have a new role for you two to play.

Everything is accelerating.

It's nearly time for the curtain to rise on a legend.

Does that mean you have no further use for idols?

It's not hard to lead the masses by the nose.

That's...

"Debt King Dan JD Finally Leaves For Mooneyes."

"Rocket Malfunction For Dan's Team?"

"Wrong Orbit Drops Team Back to Earthdash"...

The man of legend will step offstage, and starting now all eyes will be on you.

As... Basquash players, you mean?

You object?

Hardly.

Give us the job!

Once Rouge gets better, I'm sure she'll say the same thing!

Thank you, Violette, Citron.

"Man of Legend Spotted in Underground."

"What Will Happen to the Lunar League Season?"

Hey.

Is it fun digging up rocks all day long?

Not rocks.

It's ultimite.

What's that?

I don't really know.

I don't know, but mining is my job.

That totally does not inspire basquatting.

Hey, you gotta work if you want to eat!

You're one to talk.

So Navi,

did I ever meet you a long time ago?

Nope. I'd remember that red hair.

Yeah...

If we met, it's not likely we'd forget...

Dunno.

Dan's brain is special!

You be quiet.

So Navi,

what do you say to getting out of here and playing Basquash with me?

Not an option.

Why not?

You could play Basquash without even needing a Bigfoot!

From how you played before, that's what you really want, right?

Being stuck down here in a hole is a total waste!

Come with me.

There's something I want to show you.

That's a freakin' huge bounty!

If I brought in that head, I'd never have to work again!

They say he's in Dead Bottom!

And Price already left!

What's all this?

Maybe they plan to start a war.

Is there a kid named Miyuki here?

Could you deliver a message to Miyuki Ayukawa?

"Your big sister is here."

As I recall, you hate me.

More precisely, I hate your grandfather.

You're an old acquaintance?

How nice of you to visit and say so.

No...

I want to meet the man of legend.

The... man of legend?

You mean Mr. Dan?

Yes.

Right now he's the most popular person in town.

What is this place?

Those are graves.

Graves?

Our ancestors were brought here from the moon to mine ultimite.

My friends who died on Earthdash sleep here.

Ultimite is poisonous.

We're resistant to that poison.

That's why we were brought down here.

But over a few hundred years we started losing our resistance.

Everyone else died one by one, and now I'm all that's left.

Does that mean...

I'm the last.

So have to stay here and protect my friends' graves.

I can't go with you.

What?

I don't get your reasoning at all.

Is this river really the way to go?!

It is if you want to outrun the bounty hunters.

That way!

This way!

Which way?

I don't know!

This doesn't mean we trust you!

If you trust, you can be betrayed.

I learned that from your grandfather.

Mr. Dan...

Someone's... calling?

Hark...

What is that sweet scent?

It smells delicious.

Hey, Alan!

Pay more attention to balancing!

Are you listening, Alan?!

I'll grope you again!

No, not that way!

No! That's even worse!

A tunnel!

I've seen that mech before...

So how does it feel having that for a teammate, Iceman?

It might surprise you, Falcon.

Accepting each others' strengths and weaknesses...

That's what teammates do.

I don't know, but if Coco...

That's Dan's little sister!

Yeah. If my sister...

She's cute and has her head on right

and I'm proud of her, but...

If I died and Coco left a flower on my grave every day,

I'd be happy. Of course I'd be happy.

But if her life ended there,

I wouldn't be happy at all.

I'd say so.

"You don't have to come any more."

"Go live your own life!"

"What were you born to do?"

The ball tells me how you feel.

Someone who's no Basquasher could never throw a ball like that!

Navi, you think your dead friends will like it if all you do is protect their graves?

If you make it out of here and play Basquash, they'll like that more!

I don't understand what you mean.

If you become a legend and make this place famous, that'd be enough!

Then your friends wouldn't be lonely.

That's crazy.

Dan's always crazy.

Friends, huh?

What is it, Dan?

Am I hearing things?

Just now I thought I heard Alan and the rest...

Y-You guys!

Mr. Dan!

Hey, just a—! Alan!

I'm so glad! We were worried!

A-And I, uh, they made me do really embarassing things...

Whatever, just let go!

Hi, honey.

Did you love me so much you followed even to the depths of the Earth?

Yes.

I thought I'd bury you so you could never crawl back up to daylight.

Oh no!

Dan, whose Bigfoot is this?

Pleased to meet you.

I'm Naviga. Not a Bigfoot.

S-Sorry. I didn't mean to startle you.

Not a Bigfoot? Then what is he?

A giant?

Surprised?

He's one of the same guys who were on the moon!

His name's Navi!

No, it's Naviga, actually.

One of the legendary giants was on Earthdash...

A giant?

You came from the moon?

Then...

It's like the town in the desert...

It's... calling me?

Are these your friends, Dan?

Yeah!

We're all Basquashers!

Basquashers...

Sorry I startled you. I—

Sorry.

Can we go yet?

So this is the man of legend.

Bit short, isn't he?

Speak for yourself!

Who is this woman anyway?

Explanations later.

Pretty soon this won't be a place where we can stand and talk.

Here comes another one!

One after another...

Getting a lot of visitors today!

Oh, it's you!

Dan even managed to remember!

Oh, that's good!

So you got out of that cell too!

I'm glad!

That man will cut you down if you get too close, Dan JD.

His name is the Price of Hell.

He's the best bounty hunter in Underground.

Also known as the Legend Hunter.

In other words, a paid killer.

Killer?

It was him who made Iceman's body the way it is.

Is that so?

Thank you, Thousand.

Now I don't have to waste time introducing myself.

Why the hell did you come here?

Why else?

A certain person paid for your death.

If you're going to hold a grudge, Dan JD,

hate the legend, not me.

The legend is what makes you a liability.

Time to die...

...and take the legend with you!

sora wa takaku kaze wa nagarete

The sky is high, the winds are blowing.

tsuki no hadou wo yami ni toketeku

The moon's surge dissolves into the darkness.

dakara ima wa mae dake wo muki

So, right now, never look back.

BELIEVE YOUR LOVE kono michi wo

Believe your love and the path you're on.

nageki no seiza no shirabe wo

Engrave the song of the constellation of grief

mune ni kizamu soshite hashiri dasu

in your heart and take off running.

bokura wa itsumo nayami nagara

We're always unsure; we're always searching

setsuna no kibou wo sagashiteiru

for a fleeting moment's hope.

shiro to kuro oto ga majiwaru toki

When the sounds of black and white mix together,

kitto kitto hatenaku

I know it will be limitless.

hikari no saki ni mieru michi wo

I dreamed that we walked together

futari de aruku yume wo mita yo

on the path I can see beyond the light.

itoshisa sore wa wasureteita

Till now, I'd forgotten love.

kimi e no yakusoku

It's my promise to you.

Any man known as a legend...

...must prevail over all that stands in his way.

If he dies at my hands, then he wasn't the one!

Next time, Memory of You.

NEXT TIME

MEMORY OF YOU

MEMORY OF YOU

MEMORY OF YOU

Why not die and be just a memory?
