Original subtitles

During a war, a handful of warriors nearly obliterated the Imperial Army.

They were called the Ninku Unit.

The empire was barely able to defeat them,

so they set out to subdue the unit in fear of their powers.

Few even know about the real Ninku anymore.

That looks just like my harmonica.

Hey!

Sorry for the wait!

Any luck?

Not one bit.

The shops in this town don't carry any parts I could use for repairs.

What?

How could that be? What are we gonna do, then?

So this shabby Hindenburg won't be able to fly again?

Ugh.

Don't call it shabby, okay?

I just need to search for the right parts in another town.

I can get the engine to start, at least. It should have enough power for taxiing.

You can't laugh this one off, you dope.

Well, forget it.

Let's just leave it behind.

It's gonna fall apart sooner or later anyway.

Good thinking.

I'd rather walk than ride that tattered deathtrap.

H-Hey, wait up!

Huh?

I'm not going to leave it behind.

We can't just abandon our Hindenburg and go our way after traveling with it for so long!

Then what do you suggest we do?

About what?

I'm talking about the bridge over the river!

We'll have to cross that, won't we?

We got trouble.

Looks like the Imperial Army is using the bridge as a checkpoint.

A checkpoint?

That's where they inspect and stop enemies of the Imperial Army from crossing the river,

because you can go straight to the capital once you cross this river.

They're probably trying to catch us.

We'll have to find another bridge, then.

Nah, that bridge is the only one.

No way!

The river's no big deal!

I could jump over it carrying y'all, easy-peasy.

Can you carry this bad boy too?

Y-You dumbass! You know damn well I can't do that!

You're going to leave it here!

I-I can't do that!

C'mon, pretty please, Aichou-kun.

Hell no!

He's right!

Are you out of your mind, Onii-chan?

This old bird's our comrade. It's been traveling with us this entire time.

I'm not leaving it here when it can still fly!

Please, I'm begging you.

Look at how desperate Touji is. Let's find a way to help him.

What?

Thank you, Fuusuke!

Not you too!

We gotta get to the capital and find your mom ASAP.

Oh yeah! I just thought of a great idea!

Huh?

You sure about that?

Hey, Rihoko. What are you trying to do?

Ta-da! You'll wear disguises!

You tellin' us to put on stuff like that?!

Well, you are wanted men, you know?

No chance in hell!

A manly man like me could never wear a skirt!

Sounds good! I'm game, as long as my Hindenburg can come with us!

Should feel nice and cool!

I'll pass.

Stop being so difficult and do me a favor, okay, Aichou-kun?

Say...

Are you enjoying this by any chance?

There we go! Finished!

So?

Gee, am I pretty or what?

Are you blind?! How can you call that pretty?!

Wh-What are you looking at?

Aichou-san, you look amazing!

Hm, he kinda does.

Is it okay to fall in love with you?

Get your hands off me! I'll fucking kill ya!

How unladylike of you, Aichou-san. You shouldn't use vulgar words like that.

That's right.

At least say it like, "I'll kill you, okay?"

I-I'll kill you, okay?

How adorable!

Wait a second! Don't tell me you're only making us wear this stuff.

It wouldn't be fair if you and Hiroyuki didn't do anything, would it?

Eek...

Oh, yeah!

The Imperial Army might also know what Rihoko or Hiroyuki look like.

Double eek...

That's true.

Maybe you two are due a makeover as well.

Please leave us out of this.

We've got a real middle-aged guy here!

Looking good, Rihoko!

Hilarious!

You look just like the real thing!

Damn them!

Fine, I'll do a perfect job acting as an old man, if that's what you want!

Just you watch!

We really are the biggest names around here, huh?

Don't sweat it.

Our disguises are perfect.

True that. Nobody will notice.

Sure hope so.

Can I see your pass?

Oh, uh, right.

We've lost our travel companions, actually.

Are we not allowed to cross without one?

Well, you don't need to have one.

You'd just have to answer some questions at the station.

What are you gals hauling?

A plane?

It's papier-mâché!

It's a prop for our play.

Right, a piece of junk like this couldn't take off.

Touko-san! No, Touko-san, don't!

Huh? Is there a problem?

No, not at all.

Say, what kind of bird is this?

Yes! It's an owl!

Yes! It's a peacock!

Huh? What was that?

Yes, well...

What was it again?

We forgot.

It's a chicken!

This is my chicken, Hiroyuki!

Chicken?

Okay, fine!

Just go into the station.

I can't believe what we have to go through because of the Ninku.

You're blaming the wrong people, man!

I-I mean, you know?

The Ninku are the ones striving for true peace.

Miss, you make it sound like the Ninku are the good guys.

O-Oh my, did I?

The Ninku turned out to be nothing but a bunch of frauds and liars.

Who'd side with those ne'er-do-wells?

What'd you say?!

It's the Impe-

What the heck?

My goodness, there she goes again. Sorry, she has a screw loose.

Quiet down!

You can't go anywhere before the final inspection is complete!

Got it?

Pray tell, where is the lavatory?

You can't go!

That's the rule.

Y-You can't be serious? What if I piss myself?

C'mon, pretty please?

I don't think we can hold it in much longer.

Oh dear, one of my stockings tore. What should I do?

I just bought it!

I guess I can make an exception.

Well, what do we do now?

I dunno. I guess go with the flow.

Y-Young gals are taking a leak standing up?!

How can they...

Man, that's so much better.

I-It's a molester!

Get out, you perverted old man!

I didn't see that coming.

Why'd they have to be so mean?

Are they the suspicious ones?

Notify the chief.

Yes, sir.

Hey! You're up next for interview.

Come with us!

Wh-What?

Is it our turn already?

This old man was here before us!

We've received direct orders from the chief.

You'll be subject to enhanced screening.

Huh?

Does this mean they've figured out who we are?

Well, we're under suspicion, at the very least.

What are you two blabbering about?

Here we are! Step inside.

C'mon!

I'm Keyes, chief of this checkpoint.

Sit down! He'll be questioning you!

What's your reason for trying to cross this bridge?

W-We're part of a traveling troupe, but we got separated from the group.

So we don't have the pass with us, you see.

Now, now, no need for such a sour face. Let's lighten the mood a bit.

It's not like we're shady people, you know?

Now you're trying to use seduction to throw us off.

Cut the crap!

Let me ask you a different question, then.

Why exactly are you traveling with this bird?

Well, so that it can lay eggs when we need food!

In that case, let's see it lay one right now.

I-It can't lay an egg at a moment's notice.

D-Don't tell me you're...

It's gonna come out!

H-How crass! I'll kill you!

Stop!

Th-This is...

Are you part of the special ensemble performing for the Imperial Army?

Special ensemble?

Wh-Why, yes we are!

That's right!

We're on our way to perform for Imperial Army service members!

Right! That we are!

I see.

The rest of your group have already crossed the bridge and are headed to the capital.

Not only were they beautiful, but they also gave us words of encouragement.

Well, that's not good! We'd better hurry, then.

Could you let us cross the bridge now?

Wait!

You haven't yet proved that you're part of the ensemble.

Wh-What do you mean?

We're saying that we're part of them. What more proof do you need?

If you really are musicians, you should be able to perform anywhere, anytime.

Look at what we've got ourselves into.

We can't back out now.

We'll just have to do the best we can.

Hey!

Here's some music for you!

W-Will he be all right?

Get over there, you guys!

All right!

Thank you.

It's been a long time since we saw something so moving.

It reminded me of my family back home.

We're so sorry for suspecting you.

N-Not a problem. All's well that ends well.

That's right.

Esteemed musicians!

The bridge is ready to cross, so please come this way.

My word. Thank you.

We sure got ourselves out of this one.

Yeah.

Help me!

What's wrong?

You guys!

Oh, crap!

Run!

Huh? What's going on?

Capture them!

Hold up! Why are we running away?

Come on, answer me!

Stop right there!

Oh dear, what could the problem be this time?

They're men!

I saw it with my own two eyes!

What?

Dear me, what is this man talking about?

That's very rude!

We're musicians performing for the Imperial Army!

You're darn right! That wasn't very nice!

That's rude.

A-A loincloth?

Hey, what are you staring at, buster?

You are...

Ni...

Ninku!

Guess we gotta do this.

I knew they were phonies. Don't let them escape!

Raise the bridge!

Keep moving!

They're going to raise the bridge!

H-Hey, Touji!

I'm taking this gal with me!

Hop on, Rihoko!

What? Hop on that thing? Seriously?

Yeah, yeah. Just get on already!

Air Shuriken!

Raise the drawbridge! Stat!

Damn!

Get them!

I beg you! Start up!

Come on!

Go!

Oh god! I can't do this, Onii-chan!

We're gonna crash!

What gives? Go after them already!

Chase them down!

Fuusuke! Let's go too!

Yeah!

They don't know when to give up.

Air Snake Tear!

I-I can't believe it!

It's over!

Yeah.

But...

We ended up in another meaningless fight.

I'm proud of you, my Hindenburg!

Give it a rest.

Can't ya see we're working our asses off just to haul this thing?!

That's right!

Our misfortunes are always this thing's fault!

Don't say that!

I'll fix her right up once we get to the next town.

Do you even know how far that could be?!

Yeah!

You know what? I give up!

Let's leave them here. The rest of us can move on!

Okay!

Wait, the rest of us?

Time out! You can't be serious!

Hey, stop!

Don't just leave! You cruel bastards!

This is bad!

We've almost reached the capital,

but it looks like all sorts of trouble have popped up without us knowing!

Huh?

Shigure, are you serious?

The remaining Zodiac ninja will be reuniting today?

Next episode: Assassin in the Moonlight! All the Moves Blocked!

Looks like we're in for some more trouble.
