Original subtitles

Once upon a time, humans lived

side by side with monsters.

But, humans wanted to dominate the world,

and so they declared war on monsters.

Vanished to remote mountains, the monsters

were forbidden to leave, never to cross the border

where the humans lived.

A Civil War breaks out in the monster world.

The king of the monsters is killed,

and a new monster king slaughters

all the dead king's loyal ministers, then hunts down

the disposed monster queen.

The queen, who is expecting a baby,

tries desperately to escape the fearsome slayer

sent by the murderous new king.

Accompanied by a few of her brave, loyal subjects,

she flees to forbidden and dangerous human world.

According to legend, the baby monster king

would forever change the world of monsters and humans.

Run, your Majesty.

Hands off my baby!

Your Majesty, I'm going to save you!

Your Highness, hurry.

I can't.

I can't walk anymore.

Run!

What are you looking at?

She's my wife.

Be careful!

Come on!

I picked it first.

Give it to me!

It's perfect for me.

You're too fat! - Stop fighting.

It's mine!

Let me have it.

Stop fighting!

Mama Lee, Auntie Mo, We all live in the same village.

Quiet!

It's a mayor's job to--

Son!

I'm the mayor.

Have you sewn the clothes?

Have you cleaned the toilet?

Not yet.

He's our mayor!

You ladies shouldn't treat him like that.

Ah!

Your leg brace.

So, sorry.

Come on, fix our clothes.

So, uh, thanks.

No problem at all.

Grandma.

Grandma?

Grandma?

Who are you?

Tinyan.

Who is Tinyan?

Your grandson.

Whose grandson?

Your son's son.

My son is first year palace swordsman,

Daiten Song Let me tell you, this is our Song family

heritage monster killing sword.

It's actually more like a toy.

I won't play with you, you are so dumb.

You don't understand a thing, hanging

around with nothing to do.

You really don't act like a man.

I'm busy every day, sewing and cooking.

Did you practice our Song family special moves?

No.

You are such a loser.

Grandma will leave home for a few days

to look for your father.

Grandma, you've been searching for him for years.

Shouldn't you give up?

Your dad is the hero of the monster hunt bureau.

What kind of hero dumps his wife and son?

Your dad--

A first year palace swordsman.

He left the whole village to you, so protecting

the villagers is--

My duty.

Then you shouldn't fall short of--

Expectations.

See you.

Monsters were never excepted in the human world.

When monsters try to cross the border,

our monster hunt bureau took care of them.

The hunters did such a good job that people nowadays don't even

know monsters exists.

Since the last dynasty, almost all monsters crossing

the border were caught.

The monster hunt bureau became useless and it closed.

Great monster hunters, like you, return to normal life

and served businessmen like you.

You were robbed of your destiny.

Now your time has come.

If one of you can capture the expected baby monster king,

the monster world will be in chaos.

And monster's all over will flee.

The Emperor relies on all of you to suppress them.

The monster hunt bureau will be strong again.

Come on, let's toast to our great fortune.

Cheers.

You didn't see her.

Hi.

How are you?

Smells delicious.

We can have something to eat.

Right.

My restaurant is that way.

And we have our signature dish.

Why do you keep walking around me?

Stop chatting with this gimp, we're in a hurry!

Ignore him.

He's jealous when I pay attention to others.

Because I'm his first love.

Why do you tell that to every one you meet?

I won't tell you anything anymore!

He's blushing!

See, he looks so cute when he blushes.

Mean and crazy.

Let's go!

He's not coming, but I will.

Fine.

Fine.

Fine.

I go.

Our village hasn't had visitors for ages.

Can you tell me about your adventures?

Sure, I'll tell you while I eat you.

This way.

Here we are.

Let me.

I will get you some water.

Thanks.

What would you like to order?

Is there any human meat?

Or human liver?

It's only me here.

How about eating me first?

I'll bring you the duck blood pudding.

No one is allowed to leave.

Right.

No one.

Lee, what's your problem?

Tell me your names.

Tianyin Song.

Not you.

I'm the gorgeous elegant and coolest Lily.

When did you make that up?

Just now.

I like your original name even better.

Your skills are mediocre.

Still mediocre?

If I wasn't injured, a level two monster hunter like

you wouldn't have a chance.

I'll be promoted to level three after I've captured

you both, little monster.

What's your name?

Hiding in such a skinny shell is killing me!

We have serious business and all

you can think about is eating.

But that gimp smells delicious.

You never learned.

It's embarrassing.

You're embarrassing!

You say that again and I will kick your--

Oh baby, you're right.

It's all my fault.

Oh no.

Her majesty fell out!

Save the queen!

I'll save you!

Take this, monster.

My monsters.

Luo Gang, they are mine!

How could you say they're yours?

Whoever has the monsters gets the money.

Your Highness, run!

Luo Gang, this is not fair.

To me, this is totally fair.

I'm the mayor of this village.

You've just killed people.

What people did I kill?

They're are monsters.

Monsters?

Of course, they're monsters covered

with human skin, ignorant.

Monsters are the most cunning creatures in the world.

They hide in human skin, dress as humans,

and speak human language.

Then, how can I tell if you're human or monster?

Ah!

So, may I ask you something?

Did you win or lose the fight just now?

I lost?

If I lost, you'd been eaten by now.

Pttt

Make dinner, I'm hungry!

I want something spicy.

Dare question me.

So stupid.

How could someone like me lose?

Can't stop talking, but you can cook quite well.

Even though I'm a bit crippled, I do have great goals.

You know what?

Cooking is my third ideal job.

How about the second?

Sewing.

Wanna guess what's the first?

What?

The first is cooking plus sewing!

I'm a genius, right?

Why would you catch monsters?

To make money.

Then why are you alone?

You wanna know?

Yes.

People who know too much about me-- I cut their tongue's off!

Where are you going?

I'll sleep in my grandma's room.

Will it hurt?

What?

What do you expect?

I'll gouge out your eyes.

That monster spat on you to leave a mark, which

means she'll find you again.

When she comes back, she won't be able to escape my trap.

Ow.

What are we going to do?

Quiet, my love, I have an idea.

We have to look for her Majesty.

She should have gone back to find that gimp.

What do you want?

I'm dying.

I beg you.

Please save my baby.

Please, protect my baby.

Ah!

What is going on?

Still alive.

Come, come, come.

Sit, sit, sit.

Two solutions.

First, be pregnant for nine months.

You give birth sooner or later.

Impossible.

A man gives birth?

Just let me die.

Are you sure?

I'm a man.

I'd rather die than give birth.

What a man.

Bite this.

Why?

Simply make a cut here and I'll take it out.

This is a second solution.

If you cut it this way, it will be painful.

I'll cut fast with my sword.

Painless!

No pain.

But, will I die?

Hard to tell.

I'll be gentle.

Forget it.

I better keep it.

Aren't you a man?

I'll be one after I give birth.

Awesome.

Trade in a monster inside a human.

Good business.

Cripple, get me down.

Get me down?

You're trapped.

I'll go to find help.

Wait for me!

Don't let me get you.

I'll kill you for sure, gouge out your eyes.

Cut off your tongue, you cripple!

Why so quiet?

Xiao?

Who is it?

It's Tianyin.

Open the door.

Strangers came today.

They caught all the villagers.

Only you and me left.

Don't worry, let me come in first.

Mayor!

Who are you?

It's me, Xiao Wu.

I look different, but I'm really Xiao Wu.

Mayor!

Your dad promised to protect us.

He said I'm your best friend.

Are there any others hiding here?

This is ridiculous.

The whole village is full of monsters.

It seems that Daitan Song tried secretly to protect you.

We did nothing wrong.

We didn't hurt people.

We're all vegetarian.

You're proof that Mr. Song was right.

Humans and monsters can live together.

As a first year palace guard for the monster hunt bureau,

Daitan Song obeyed in public, but defied in private.

We are not the problem, We just want to live peacefully.

We're not planning to disturb anyone.

Why can't you give us a chance?

I won't argue with you.

What I want is the monster queen, and the baby

she carries.

Who wants to tell me in exchange for freedom?

Stop asking.

None of us will be a trader!

Hold on.

Hold on.

Do you mean it?

Mom, what are you doing?

None of you business.

Master, I know where they are.

Traitor!

Say it.

Who's that?

Since you've disguised as humans,

why not treat yourselves better?

Such a pity.

Get them all.

Grandma left all the villagers to me.

Just one evening, everything is gone.

Be optimistic.

You still have an egg inside.

Come to Shantian City and sell it.

I'll give you 20% of the reward.

Money isn't important to me right now.

That's great.

I admire you.

Then I'll give you 10%.

No more bargaining.

Let's go.

Don't eat any more, otherwise I'll have a loss.

Just deduct it from my reward.

Your noodles.

Give me-- give me two more bowls of noodles,

add sour sauce-- the crazy sour sauce.

It's already crazy sour.

I want it super, super, super, super crazy sour.

You're super crazy.

Wait.

Stop eating.

If Luo Gang catches you, he'll slice

open your belly, no question.

Run.

You, run!

And wait for me by the back door.

How've you been, after robbing me?

Where are the two monsters?

Ran away.

Ran away?

Pay me back! - Shhh!

Lower your voice.

Remember the monster who fled that day?

The egg inside her is very special.

I think that monster, sooner or later,

will go back to the village to look for that guy.

Let's work together to catch her.

How much is it worth?

20 tails.

It's only worth 20 tails?

You really know the market.

If you find it, five-- 100 tails.

I'll wait til you pay me the money back first.

Are we still working together?

Hey!

He's got a big belly.

Eating again?

Do you have money?

No.

That's Why I keep eating, and waiting for you to pay.

Look.

Preserve ginger?

Dried salty plum?

Lemon?

Hawthorne?

Are you crazy?

Go!

Go!

This monster egg is mine!

Luo Gang, you're robbing me again.

How can we work together?

You lied to me.

Cheater.

Behind you.

There's a monster behind you, I'm not lying.

There's a monster behind you.

I'm not lying.

Stupid, Luo Gang!

If he dies, no one gets any money.

Come!

Help!

I'll grab it!

You capture it!

Thank you very much.

Wait.

Let's go.

Shouldn't we stay and help him?

He's a level four monster hunter, he can handle it.

We would like to have a room.

Only an expensive room is left.

Do you want it?

Yes.

I don't feel like eating.

You go.

Human In and monster-- would their baby be a mutant baby?

Crazy, Are you coming?

Just don't search for food in the garbage at night.

At least we should give the baby a name.

One bowl of plain noodles.

Yes.

How old is he?

Almost three years old.

Look at him.

So adorable.

I wish I could have one of my own.

He's not yours?

He's the hotel owner's son.

May I have your name?

Huo Xiaolan.

We're going to Shandian City for a very fancy

banquet at Heaven restaurant.

The main reason is for my husband to boost his health

so that we can have a baby.

Do you understand?

Yaya?

Yaya?

Why are you here?

This is my husband, Zheng Tao.

This is Miss Hua.

Nice to meet you Miss Hua.

Let me tell you, we should hire a bodyguard like them.

They said, if hiring a bodyguard,

we should look for those with coins

hanging on them for prestige.

You're fine.

You're fine, fine, fine.

I'll let you girls chat.

Quicker.

Wake up!

Many monster hunters outside.

Super dangerous.

Let's leave.

What's wrong?

In labor?

Probably.

Probably.

Be quiet.

Follow my instructions.

Breath out.

Breath in.

You're an animal!

Is it Miss Hua?

Are you OK?

I'm fine, thanks.

Someones outside!

Let it out.

Now!

Something's wrong.

Push, now!

Someone's having a baby.

Yes.

Stay outside.

Who is she?

Uh, my mother.

Your mother's giving you a little brother?

So lucky.

Where's your father?

He died.

I'm so sorry for your mother.

But don't Worry, childbirth is my area of expertise.

No, I've never given birth, I've read many books

and heard so much about it.

I've been preparing all along to give birth any time.

Excuse me, I'm just too excited.

You gave birth to a radish.

Be careful.

A monster is a monster.

Let me see.

Does he look like me?

Sure.

Do you need any help?

Wake up.

Wake up.

Good.

Is this better, darling?

I saw--

Nightmare.

Right?

Excuse us.

We-- we meant to help you.

Good, the madam is fine now.

How's the baby?

The baby is well.

How's the baby's mother?

I'm fine.

Thank you.

I've never seen someone stand up right after giving birth.

Where's the baby's father?

He died.

What?

I'm fine too.

Thank you very much.

The baby's so quiet.

No crying?

Where's Nyonoyo?

Nyunyu?

Nyunyu may have gone to see the baby.

Is Nyunyu there?

Don't hit him.

Is everything OK?

All good.

Wait.

Oops.

Madam fades again.

What's wrong with you today?

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Have you two villagers seen my son Daiten?

anybody?

It's so hot.

It has a fever.

Go get a towel.

Get some water.

Still very hot.

Change water.

Change again.

OK.

Shhh.

Shhh.

The fever's gone.

But it's still weak.

Oh, it hasn't had any milk since it was born.

No cows or goats around here.

What can we do?

It'll be sold in two days anyway.

Then why did we save it when it was ill?

Because it can't be sold if it's dead.

Then what is different now?

Not die of illness, but starve to death.

What should we do?

What should we do?

You're the mother!

I saw a baby coming out from her mouth.

Isn't that right, dear?

What was that, honey?

What happened?

What's going on here?

Do you-- do you have some food?

I told you before, a monster is a monster.

You must learn, otherwise people will

say I didn't teach you well.

Understand?

Your daddy-- he didn't learn well.

That's why he's so dumb and knows nothing.

Your mommy-- she didn't have a good education,

that's why she's always rude.

What did you say?

From now on, you eat only fruits and vegetables.

Huh?

You will learn to like it.

You carry this all the time.

From your lover?

My father gave it to me when I was 12.

He said whenever I was scared, if I play it, he'd be there.

Did you try?

My father never taught me how to play it.

That was the last time I saw him.

So, have you ever looked for him?

My father was a monster hunter.

But he was killed by a monster.

When I was a child, my mother suddenly disappeared.

My dad took me to Yongu Village and left me there.

He went away by himself.

I don't want you!

Go!

Go!

So the villagers of Yongning Village are like my family.

So your father, he--

Whoever leaves his son alone isn't qualified to be a father.

See!

All monsters are bad.

Even this little one will grow to be an evil monster.

Let me teach you.

Look!

Isn't she very pretty today?

Absolutely!

Yes, yes, yes!

Your turn. Hurry up.

- Hold on. - Pong!

I got it.

Exactly what I want.

Oh!

Voila!

Fat choy?

How come you guys win again?

Five tiles of fat choy instead of four?

Show all your hands!

Sell them?

Get out!

You want to do some business?

No.

You do look like a radish.

50 tails.

Let's go.

Not for sale.

Uh uh.

Just, name a price.

I know what it's worth.

At least 100 tails.

Put it in the cage and wait here.

Come on.

You are rude.

Let me.

We haven't named you yet.

Maybe we shouldn't sell it.

Huh?

Hurry up!

Turn around.

OK.

Let's play hide and seek.

I'll count to three, and I'll head over there,

and you hide in the cage, and then she'll look for us.

Understand?

OK, let's start.

One, two, three!

No, you should hide in the cage, like what I do.

Funny.

Now, when I count one, two--

Why are you so rude?

You want to keep it?

Even a few more days would be good.

The result is still the same after a few more clays.

Look, look!

It cries.

Nonsense.

It's a monster.

What emotions could it have?

It keeps following us.

Isn't that emotion?

Who says cows and goats have no emotions?

Even if it doesn't have emotions, I have.

Stop now!

Humans and monsters aren't meant to be together,

that's why you should sell it!

What is it?

Go.

A newbie in the industry?

Do more trading and you'll get used to it.

Go.

Go.

I know.

We should name it Wuba.

Can you play mahjong?

Where's our little monster?

Kill me, if you can.

You will beg for our mercy.

I'll see who wins.

Your turn.

Uh,.

Wait.

Can you slow down?

I'm not ready yet.

Hurry up.

What should I do?

13 orphans!

Win! - Win?

Yes.

Fooling me?

Where's the little monster?

Heaven Restaurant, getting ready to be butchered.

Let's go.

Play another found with me.

I haven't told you the password.

How will you get in?

Head chef!

What the-- you guys are too much.

Pay attention.

The monsters we have today are so awesome and delicious.

Marvelous!

Monster sashimi all ready.

No wonder she's our head chef.

You.

Head chef!

Oh my.

The little monster king everyone's talking about.

I have something special for you.

Deep fried.

Yes.

We could rescue our little King Tzu.

Sr. Tzu and Lady Tzu, please, come this way.

Useless.

I told you to eat more.

Why'd you have to stay so thin?

Not even big enough to block me.

Madam, are you here for curing illness

or boosting your health?

You, go away.

I use the restroom.

You stay.

Bring Yuzi over here to show madam.

I'm afraid of dogs.

Madam, you are human.

I prefer cats.

I don't like cats.

Go! There's a cat over there.

Go, go, go! Sorry.

Go that way.

That way!

He doesn't recognize us.

He didn't see us in human form.

Ah, right.

Password.

One, two, three.

Wrong.

Five, two, one.

Wrong.

Stop hitting me.

You're useless too.

I told you to eat less.

You being so heavy really, really hurts.

The first appetizer is monster ears in oil.

Why don't you two eat?

I have to go to the restroom.

Restroom.

Restroom.

I thought we would have the little monster king

since we paid 300 tails more.

Today, you all are lucky.

Little monster king is a newly added dish.

We've been preparing it in the kitchen.

Fantastic!

That's great.

I also need to go to the restroom

before we try the special dish.

Excuse me.

Put it in the steamer.

We are such a team.

Open it.

It's still alive.

It's not fair.

I wanna go home.

I want my mommy!

Is my hair messy?

Your hair is perfect.

Really?

Do I look pretty?

You look gorgeous.

Just need some moisturizer.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Xiao Wu, I'm sorry.

Xiao Wu's in the kitchen.

Xiao Wu.

Mayor, I knew you would come.

Mayor, watch out.

Run!

I abandoned my friend once, I'll never do it again.

I can't beat that guy.

See you.

You will get killed.

You're a monster hunter.

How come you help an outsider instead?

He's not an outsider.

He's my husband.

What?

Are you serious about what you just said?

My dad said a man and woman should keep a distance.

If they kiss, they must marry.

But--

No buts!

I am the only one left in the family.

The responsibility to expand my family and have children

is now all yours.

Leave me alone.

Xiao Wu, take her away from my sight and leave.

Take care, and don't die.

I'm not done arguing with you yet.

Leave!

Why does it keep chasing me?

Auntie Mo, set the other villagers free.

Take care.

It's our little king!

So glad to see you again.

We have something important to do.

Please let us go.

Impossible.

He'll get killed!

Another monster hunter helps monsters.

Is this food?

This is the main dish of the banquette.

This dish brings long life and stops you from aging.

Why are you here?

You know her?

Is this a human or a monster?

Want to find out?

Sure.

Grandma, she just helped pull you out.

Grandma?

Why are you here?

Two villagers brought me here so I can look for my son.

Huh?

Who are you?

Tianyin.

Who is she?

I'm your granddaughter in law, Grandma.

Come this way, Tianyin.

Your dad left this sword for you.

It has enormous power, and let me tell you,

it's not for chopping vegetables, you see.

It doesn't matter how-- you see that guy over there?

Huh?

Fine, fine.

Grandma, you stay put.

Wait for me here.

See you later, Grandma.

This fire beetle will get the job done.

Miss Wong.

Who dares to make trouble here?

Darling, let's go!

You two leave first.

I can't.

Leave.

You can't help me.

Darling.

I thought you were someone more powerful,

but you're just a mediocre level two monster hunter.

Hold on!

Another one?

Level 10.

What does that mean?

Level 10 is the top level of monster hunters.

Excuse me, your name?

Ha, ha.

My husband was the head of the monster hunt bureau,

Xianjang Song.

My son is palace swordsman Daiten Song.

My grandson, Tianyin is--

nobody.

You let my granddaughter in law down first!

Didn't you say you were level 10?

Why don't you save her yourself?

Huh!

The coins are not yours.

Who says they aren't mine?

My husband had six, my son had five, all together I have 10.

Six plus five is eleven.

It's 10.

Tianyin Song, if you hand in the little monster--

--I will release them.

If you don't, I'll kill your grandma

first, and then your wife.

Can you switch the order; wife first, and then grandma?

Good idea.

Fine, four, three, two, one.

Hold on.

It's too late.

Grandma or wife.

One must die.

You choose.

I've chosen.

No more tricks?

I put on the skin to disguise as human in order to get rid

of all the surviving supporters of the old monster

king in the human world.

Now you forced me to reveal myself.

You all have to die.

Grandma!

Granddaughter in law, your father in law

left you this sword, lest for chopping vegetables.

Huh.

Tianyin!

Tianyin, use the Song family special moves.

Monsters will soon conquer the human world.

Thank you.

Tianyin, you truly met your dad's expectations.

Me?

Tianyin, this first coin was left to you by your dad.

Others, you have to earn on your own.

Six plus five-- the extra one is for me.

Are you sure?

Once you take this coin, you are a monster hunter.

Yes.

Good.

Don't go!

Mah.

Grandma!

Come back!

Come back!

Come back!

They ate our baby king already.

We are too late.

Follow them to a remote place, to rebuild

the Yongning Village.

You'll only be safe with them.

I really want you to be with me, but that would only hurt you.

Even if I dress you up as a human--

Sooner or later, people will find out,

and that will be very dangerous for you.

Humans still can't except you.

Understand?

Upa!

Don't let others call you a radish anymore.

Even though you do look like one.

Remember, you've got your own name.

It's Wuba.

Go.

Leave.

Go!

I don't want you!

Don't follow me!

Just go!

Go!

Go!

You let a monster go.

How can you be a monster hunter?

There are good monsters and bad monsters.

Come to think of it, you're my man now.

So from now on, do what I tell.

Where we going?

I want to look for my dad.

I want to know more about him.

Let's go.

No, no, no.

Let me carry it.

I'm starving.

Waiter, do you have any human meat or human liver.

It's just me here.

How about eating me first?

Where do you think Wuba would live?

I don't know.

Then how can we go visit him?

His one-month-old party, his birthday,

mid autumn festival, new year, all the other festivals.

And so little Wuba would grow to lead

his fellow monsters as king.

But he would always remember the kind humans who saved him,

and he would vow to create peace and harmony in the monster

and human worlds.
