Original subtitles

My bike ignites!

Farewell, useless Father

Farewell, Grandmother

Farewell, Buddha of Ushiku

Farewell...

"Baby,

the Stars Shine Bright"

And farewell, Ichigo

It's too late to say this, but...

I wish I had been born in the Rococo era

Kamikaze Girls: The End

That's a bit too short

so let's rewind a little

Rococo

18th century France at it's most lavish

It made Baroque look positively sober

An obscure, neglected period

Rarely mentioned in class

Critics called its art "cloying"...

Shallow, vulgar and indecent

Life then was like candy

Their world, so sweet and dreamy

That was Rococo

Girdles were tightened for beauty's sake

Too tight for breathing

It was...

Very cute!

Or so they said

Ridiculous!

Hedonism and lovemaking were all that mattered

Out of bed, they liked embroidery

Then it was back to the bedroom

And then? Countryside walks

I was smitten by Rococo

A frilly dress and strolls in the country

That's how I wanted to live!

It's not happening

Not in 21st century lbaraki

This is Shimotsuma

Paddy-fields, not countryside

I live here

Shit on my shoes

30 minutes on foot to Shimotsuma station

It's faster by bike but not as elegant

In this outfit

Isn't that Ryugasaki's daughter?

Where are you going in that frilly dress?

Tokyo

What for?

Clothes shopping

But Jusco sells everything

Jusco?

The supermarket?

Don't you know anything?

Shimotsuma's branch has much more

They have anything you want

Much more than Parco

This polo shirt was 980 yen

This was only 1,500 yen

This blouse was 2,800 yen

This is from Jusco

This, too

The people here are...

completely twisted

Is it due to a lack of parental communication?

To go to Tokyo...

you take the Joso line to Toride

Only 2 trains an hour

...communication is vital

While we wait, here's my profile

Let's take a look!

"The Life of Momoko Ryugasaki"

I wasn't born here

or in France...

but in far-away Amagasaki

Get out of my face!

The locals were mostly gangsters

Nothing but pachinko parlors and counterfeiters

Each stall undercutting the next

Get it cheap!

Everyone obsessed with bargains

Everyone is born in a tracksuit

They die in a tracksuit, too

It was tracksuit country

and for me it was hometown

Gangsters here graduate from Yanki to Yakuza

As Father did in his youth

Let's go!

I can't do it!

And so, my parents met

This ludicrous encounter led to my birth

A shotgun wedding

Dad put family first

Cough up the money!

That's for baby milk

Asshole!

Thought we were stupid?

I need my pinkie...

to play piano

He's expelled

He was a useless father

It's 1 hour to Toride

Then 40 minutes to Ueno on the Joban line

Tokyo's a long way off

Mother left home after I began school

Then the divorce papers came

Who does she think she is?

But even in this crisis...

So what?

...was my take

Silently they die

I was an indifferent child

He's hopeless

He's totally mediocre. A born loser

But your new dad is nice

Doesn't drink or gamble

I wonder...

why he finds me so attractive?

It's still a mystery...

He was the gynaecologist...

who delivered me

Doctor!

Madam!

Doctor

Madam

It didn't take her long to choose adultery

I'm moving in with my father

Why?

Your new grandparents are dying to see you

They're dying to hug their new granddaughter!

That's not true, is it?

Well, no

I was 6 when I moved to my father's place

Can you see it coming?

Because it was more fun

Should I go through with this divorce?

Isolate myself from you?

Humans are cowards in the face of happiness

You need courage to hold on to happiness

How old are you?

33

It's your last chance

to grasp happiness. Don't miss it

Momoko!

Take his love and make yourself beautiful

Get breast implant and beauty treatments

And enter a beauty contest

Why?

It's fun

Dad wasn't the same after the separation

But he got help...

and soon had his own market stall

Look at this! Ve**ach tops only 2,000 yen

This Ve**ach bag only 1,500 yen!

That's also a French import

He didn't even know Ver**ce was Italian

But business boomed

Bargain-hunters' paradise!

In junior high I joined a club

and got hooked on needlework

Father got even more into it...

He was creating new Ver**ce goods by himself

And you know what?

The Yankis loved it

When I was in high school...

I discovered the "Lolita" look

The grand opening of Uni***sal Studios Japan

What's this?

It's a collaboration

They have nothing in common!

You've got a lot to learn

I have a feel for the fashion industry

and can sense today's hot trends

It's about dual-name brands now

Bag and clothing brands and big banks, too

Dual-name brands are everywhere

The public will love it!

Get your crap out of here!

Business was roaring

His products were hits

And that put us in danger

Uni***sal Studios may sue

Ver**ce could also lash out

Time to take a holiday

That's why we moved...

to my grandmother's place in Shimotsuma

Ueno to Shibuya by Yamanote line

Then Toyoko line to Daikanyama

To my favourite boutique...

"Baby,

the Stars Shine Bright"

Welcome!

I discovered the label one summer in Osaka

The "old me" was slain

And I was reborn

Such was designer Akinori Isobe's power

I would do anything to own them

My classmate's home burnt down

Her family is broke with ten mouths to feed

I must help my best friend

This girl has a terminal heart problem

Says she'd die by 15

But she found a specialist who can cure her

He doesn't hold a licence

it will cost her 1 billion yen

My best friend's sister...

was abducted by foreign spies from a Karaoke bar

Miss Ryugasaki, it's always a pleasure

So what if I was deceitful?

My happiness was at stake

It's not wrong to feel good

That's what Rococo taught me

But actually my soul is rotten

This is my grandmother

Momoko, can I have 200 yen?

What for?

Chocolate

Lovely milk chocolate

She isn't senile

She's just had a hard life

Now I look after her

Pugnacity runs in the family

She loved fighting when she was younger

and ultimately lost an eye

Don't you bastards explode on me!

My useless father had a new stall

But money was now more scarce

I had to find a new source of income

Discount Ve**ach clothes for sale

Brand new

but not really Ver**ce

Ms. Ryugasaki, can I have some Ver**ce clothes

as I totally love Ver**ce

totally please?

The note was crude and stained with juice

How old could she be?

Her name: Ichiko Shirayuri

I invited her over as her home wasn't far

Can I have 100 yen?

To buy what?

My favourite apple candy

I almost forgot...

Where are you going?

Don't leave me alone!

A Yanki!

Drawn-on eyebrows!

She spat!

Little girl, I'm Ichiko Shirayuri

Momoko 'T is thee I'm seeking

What language is this?

Yes?

Can thee bring fair Momoko forth?

Did she step out of a period-drama?

Little girl, Where's Momoko?

I am Momoko

Don't mess with me!

A junior high girl selling Ver**ce?

Bring me Momoko

She spat again!

Wow, is this all Ver**ce?

Yes, but it's fake

So it's really you?

Yes, I'm Momoko Ryugasaki

I'm in 2nd year of senior high

Damn! Same year as me

I figured only a child would wear frilly dress

I shouldn't judge by appearances

But appearance says everything

Did I say something wrong?

Cool!

What's this?

Uni***sal and Ver**ce?

This is so cool!

I need a jacket. There's a wedding to go to

I thought my kamikaze coat was OK

but my parents said no

So I thought a Ver**ce jacket would be fine

But it was out of my price range

But then I found your ad

It was like salivation

Did she mean "salvation"?

How much?

How much?

3? Get outta here!

Really? You'll give it to me for 2?

Wrong number of zeros

200,000 yen?

2,000 yen

Nobody sells a Ver**ce jacket for 2,000 yen?

It is a fake, after all

Fake or not, it's still Ver**ce

20,000 will be fine

It's still too cheap

But you did say 2,000 was OK

Thanks for the discount. I owe you

If there's any trouble...

ask for Ichiko of the Ponytails

The Ponytails?

The toughest girl-biker gang in Shimotsuma

Don't forget it

I've got a puny grip

I can't run fast or swim

But for Rococo fragility...

is considered a feminine virtue

Tough girls who defend themselves...

disgust me

Girls who have experienced both sour and sweet

Awful!

Sour things taste foul

I want to fill myself only with sweet things

Your nose is beautiful

Get off me!

Beautiful!

It's a 3-tier seat

120 cm, custom-built

It should have cost a pile

but I did it myself cheaply

Do you like bikes?

Not really

I work part-time at a garage

So you like bikes?

It's not about "liking". My bike is another me

But you ride a scooter...

That doesn't matter!

You wanted a bigger bike but didn't qualify?

None of your business!

Does this still run?

It's my grandmother's. Why?

Honda made it in the '80s

I thought they were all gone

It's a beauty

The other guy doesn't agree, and you feel like

Why don't you get it?

From then on, that Yanki would come over

I want to be a bike mechanic

I asked my boss if he'd train me

He said only if I graduated high school

I was moved!

She could talk endlessly

What are you going to do after graduation?

Labour isn't suitable for me

Don't daydream!

It's dog-eat-dog out there!

Always hot under the collar...

I wondered why she'd talk about such thing

I don't understand how humans connect

why can't you get it?

Humans are born alone...

we think alone and die alone

If I can't live independently...

then I'd rather be a water flea

They are more independent than us

What about friends or lovers?

Wouldn't you miss your parents or kids?

Meaningless words, just like janitor or president

None of those words is important

You poor girl! That's terrible!

I'd never let anyone tie me down

So I fled into the dark night

Though I was just 15, I felt so free

So on my stolen bike...

How many are there in the Ponytails gang?

Seven

Tiny!

Do you want to join us?

No thanks

You'll need a licence first

And get rid of the dresses

We like riding and fighting but no drugs

We're too proud for that

I'm not joining

No loose girls, either

I said "no"

Why are you so hesitant?

I'm not hesitating

I don't want to ride a bike or be in a group

I'm not shedding this dress

What's wrong?

It's just lame

Did you just ridicule my whole existence?

I'll kick your ass!

Go ahead

I'll kill you!

Why not?

Stop spitting!

You may be in a frilly dress but you have guts

You're not gonna kill me?

No, because I still owe you

Debts, debts, debts... What a fool!

What did you say?

Only lend stuff you don't care about

I'd never return borrowed stuff

and I don't care if I lose mine

You're a bad girl

Yes, twisted!

No friends?

Isn't it lonely?

Not at all

You're weird

But if you beg...

I'll let you be my friend

I don't need any friends

I thought I'd always be alone

80 years old, in a "Baby" dress

dying alone in my apartment

A robot-janitor finds my corpse...

The End

That's the end that I dreamt of

What's aristocratic about this forest?

Forest of the Aristocrats

What are you listening to?

Johann Strauss

Don't know that band

Stop that

Where did you get that frilly dress?

Daikanyama, in Tokyo

Where did you buy your clothes?

Jusco

Another victim...

So you know Daikanyama?

You know the embroiderer called Emma?

My kamikaze coat needs decoration

What kind of stitching?

Our leader Akimi's quitting to get married

I want something special for her parade

Parade?

We ride around in style on her final night

A partening gift to our leader

It's parting, not "partening"

Smart ass! Want to part with your life?

Then she got really serious

as she described her first encounter with Akimi

It took an hour

To save time, I'll summarize

Ichiko aged 14

Her life changed in high school

As a young girl

her life was not that of a Yanki

She was fairly slow and the shyest in her class

She was bullied by her classmates

Filled with self-hate and frustration

So on my stolen bike...

I don't have a clue where I am headed

That's when she met Akimi

What's wrong?

What are you hiding?

Everyone's got a problem. There's always pain

It's OK to cry...

but women can't do it in public

Otherwise everyone will break down

So only cry alone

It makes you stronger

That moment Ichiko decided...

to be as cool as Akimi

Great story, huh?

What about that embroiderer in Daikanyama?

Oh, yeah

Akimi looked after me, so...

I want a message sewn onto my outfit

Saying?

"Thank you Akimi"

That's a bit dull

What's your problem?

Emma's a legend among biker gangs

Needlework so delicate and beautiful!

So daring and profound!

Seen any with your own eyes?

Of course not!

Where in Daikanyama is it?

Nobody knows

Then you can't place an order

Himiko knows!

Himiko?

The former leader of the girl-bikers in Kanagawa

She wore gear stitched by Emma

So contact Himiko

But Himiko is...

It took her another hour to tell Himiko's story

Another long saga...

Here's a cartoon version to keep you kids awake

In the 90's, the bikers

were at war with street gangs

Torn apart by feuds and crime

Stop it, you idiots!

Age and origin unknown,

she was a seven-time convict

Everyone called her...

Himiko

Her back emblazoned with...

Emma's golden dragon,

Himiko took all Kanagawa's girl-bikers by storm

Crushing gangs dealing in drugs and prostitution

Clean up this scum!

Girls unite!

Lead us Himiko!

We want to be in your gang

I don't believe in hierarchy.

We'll ride together!

I'm coming!

Me, too

Let's go!

I'll *#*# you with my *=*!

The Yakuza forced us into drugs and prostitution

Help us, please!

Next day, Himiko paid a visit

to the local Yakuza HQ

She sliced them and diced them

Left 20 wounded

And then, silence

Nobody has heard from her since

So she's untraceable?

I'm going home

Ever since I was small

I've dreamt of flying up into the sky

The town below me shrinks as I soar higher...

on my way to another world

There's a vulgar Yanki... Oh, it's Ichiko

She's screaming something at me

Leave me alone, Ichiko

I'm off to a beautiful world...

you've never seen

Are you listening?

What?

Money's an issue, I'm dealing with a legend

It would cost 50,000 or more

Still talking about that?

My pay is not good and neither is my family's

Is your family poor?

I don't want to owe them

Well, you could sell your body...

That's it!

Are you serious?

Pachinko! I have to give it a go

Let's go

Momoko?

Pachinko is our only choice!

Why should I?

We're friends

I'll take this, please

Thank you, Miss Ryugasaki

This is your new friend

This cabbage will be your friend

Well...

Farewell, Ichiko! Farewell, legendary idiot!

Relief was short-lived

Kidnapped by a Yanki who wouldn't take "no"

Dragged down the path to hell

Ozaki's song!

I feel lucky

Hopeless

No good at all

Momoko?

What's happening?

You're amazing!

They're cheating, I know it!

Welcome...

I don't know your technique

but you're using it a bit too much

What's your problem, asshole?

I saw you mess with the machine

Now I'll have to search you

What did you say, baldy?

Let me see

Stop it!

Stand back

Those girls did nothing wrong

I was watching

It's Ryuji!

It's...

Unicorn Ryuji

Even if they were cheating

it's up to you to catch them

it's still your fault

Those are the rules of this game

But they' re underage

I'm 18!

But she can't be

She dresses like a kid but she's 30

Quite mature

Actually, she's 40

You let them play for hours

She's my mother!

Shut it

I'll crush 'em

Will you count their winnings right now?

Old man... thank you!

He looked like Ozaki

In what way?

70,000? Not bad for an amateur!

Let's halve this

Why?

Well...

I'm not taking your money

Why?

My policy

Then here's a loan

Here's 35,000 yen

You're weird

You'll get it back

Your policy?

Ichiko

Your real name is Ichigo, right?

I phoned you, your mum answered

She called you "Ichigo"

I'm sure it was Ichigo

Why do you hide it?

It's just so un-Yanki!

Ichigo!

Don't use that name

I'll kill you

Ichigo!

You're dead!

Mice probably ate it

Grandma

Are you going somewhere?

Nope

Maybe it's punishment...

for playing Pachinko with a Yanki

The Rococo gods are angry

Amazing work!

Grandmother

You're not like your father

If everyone had a bowl

Your father's would be small...

cracked and dirty

But yours is different

It isn't big but it's beautiful

You'll follow your own path

You'll find your own niche

The Pachinko God is showing mercy

No, it isn't

We've got to do it

Let me go

We can't go back

To where?

Big Winner!

Hey!

At it again?

You're not aiming correctly

Aim for that one, not that one

Don't touch me

The best spot...

is here

You did great!

Who are you, old man?

Why do you have patent-leather shoes?

I'm just a low-rank gangster

Yakuza

That explains the shoes

That's Ozaki's song

This joke of a man had taken someone's heart

Humans are a mystery...

Are you scared of guys?

Are you crazy?

Been out on a date?

Shut up!

Ever kissed?

You wanna die?

A girl like you in love...

A guy with a blue jacket and white leather shoes

When you spoke to him, you looked so beautiful

Isn't that what they call love?

It's love!

It's love

It's love

Is it love?

It's love

We musn't!

Madam...

It's love!

I returned to Daikanyama after a long absence

with Ichigo, determined to find Emma

They can't patronise me

What does that writing say?

This says "leave me alone"

I thought so

That's the wrong character

The whole gang has it! People will laugh at us!

It was perfect before you told me

Is that bonnet from here?

It was eaten by moths...

so I repaired it

No, I love it. You fixed it wonderfully!

Look at her bonnet, she fixed it herself

You're making her uneasy, boss

Sorry

And you are?

The boss?

Miss Ryugasaki, our loyal customer

You're Miss Ryugasaki?

The boss?

You are...

You're the "Baby" designer...

I'm Isobe

Momoko!

What did you do to her?

Me?

Don't act dumb!

You speak, she falls. Got a breath problem?

Ichigo, stop

It was my fault

No fighting

Momoko!

I am so sorry

It really was nothing

Hold still...

Wonderful!

God!

Are you OK?

I met God

That old man?

God touched me

He's your God?

We must find Emma

You said "no"

Humour me.

I need to do something crazy

Let's go

You saying I'm crazy?!

Fashion was my teacher

It taught me how to live

When I see clothes...

I want to become worthy of them

They answer me

You're not ready for us yet

Or you may think...

something suits you when it really doesn't

You don't understand, do you?

You weren't listening

Listen!

What is it?

I saw him

The legendary embroiderer?

Haruo Mizuno

The famous critic

Don't you know him?

So what took so long?

I was watching him

What was he doing?

Buying his dinner

Welcome!

He asked them to heat it

Yes, please

That's it?

You're pathetic!

Who insisted on finding this embroiderer?

I just can't find it

Does it even exist?

Himiko said it does

Does Himiko even exist?

Legendary Emma? Legendary Himiko?

Nothing but rumours!

Don't make me laugh

I didn't ask you to look

Here's your money

Maybe you're right

Maybe the embroiderer doesn't exist

I give up

So I won't need this

And Akimi's parade?

Forget it

Got it!

Can't I do your stitching?

If it's OK with you, I'd like to try

Go for it

Really?

What about the size and font?

It's all in your hands

I trust you to do it right

Are you sure?

"Thank you Akimi" may be dull

It may not be cool but it's how I truly feel

I stitched non-stop

From Monday night through Wednesday morning

I forgot to eat, sleep or go to school

Make it bigger

That's not enough water

Did you really do this?

I've never seen anything so cool!

It's absolutely gorgeous

It's unbelievable

How can I thank you?

I'm even deeper in debt to you

I didn't understand

I felt like crying when I saw her delight

I, who coldly watched wild animals die

Was it lack of sleep?

Momoko!

Are you OK?

Is she dead?

Number 19: Hitomi Asano

Number 20: Midori Saionji

Great figure! Unbelievable for a 40-year old

I slept like a corpse

I never imagined...

that my mother would enter a beauty contest

Here are the results

The Grand Prix goes to...

Number Twenty...

...One: Tomomi Kuroda

Yes!

Serves you right!

What an ass!

Momoko! Wake up!

There is a god!

He watches and punishes those who do bad things

Momoko, never give up

What?

Live sincerely, then great things can happen

She failed! I'm so happy!

Miss Ryugasaki, I require your assistance

Isobe, "Baby, the Stars Shine Bright"

God!

The samples came back without the roses

I gave precise instructions

but they can't redo it in time

Cute!

Yes it is

But...

it's just frills, cheap frills

Without roses it's worthless

I recalled that bonnet you altered

Can you stitch the roses onto this sample?

No! I can't do it!

You can't refuse!

No...

It has to be you

Ribbon stitch?

I can use ribbons for the roses

Much better than lace

Feather-stitches for leaves

and flower patches for texture

For a more rustic look...

Only you can do this!

You will do it, won't you?

Does it have to be me?

It has to be you!

It has to be you!

It has to be you!

It has to be me

Hello

Ichigo?

How was the parade?

Was Akimi pleased?

She told me...

"that sobbing girl I knew has grown up"

She hugged me

It moved me

We then rode behind her

We rode forever

Then we lit fireworks

Akimi said, "thank you"

Then that guy appeared

That was a good parade

From now, I'm riding with him

and with one other...

I'm pregnant

Great!

That's cool!

I'm nothing compared to Akimi

I can't betray her

Why not?

If you like something, take it

If it makes you happy, do it!

Humans always betray each other

Really?

Not really

Thus Ichigo's first love ended

She showed no emotion

She kept it tightly inside

That was her way

Hey Momoko...

"women shouldn't cry in public"

But...

out here we're alone

Got it!

My hands are shaking

And my palms are sweaty

When mother left me, I said to her...

Humans are cowards in the face of happiness

You need courage to hold on to happiness

How old are you?

17

That's appalling

Sudden happiness has indeed made me a coward

I've forgotten what happiness means

Was it about wearing clothes?

Or was it about making them?

What's up? Grandma died?

Are you busy?

I've got a gang meeting

I want to see you

Say again?

I have to see you

Where are you?

Good question

I'm not sure

I'll go anywhere

I can't believe you're asking

That's great! Why worry?

Just do your best

Don't let them get you down

You don't get it

What is it then?

I only enjoy wearing their clothes

Making them's different

But I loved what you stitched for me

Doesn't that mean anything to you?

Yes, it does, but...

Someone recognized your talent

What are you pouting about?

If you blow him off, where'll his clients go?

They'll end up in Jusco

You're the one

Ichiko speaking

No it's not

I had to work

Challenge? Why?

So it's a challenge

OK, by the Buddha

2pm tomorrow

What was that about?

Nothing

I think I'll leave the gang

Why?

When it was small

the gang was cool

So what's next?

I'll ride alone

Attention!

Add water!

Check!

Take a rubber band

Thank you

Thank you

There's something I want to ask

Your great leader is needed

Stay put 'til I get back

What?

What happens when bikers challenge you?

A challenge?

As I recall, they mess you up pretty good

They chain you to their bikes and drag your ass

It's very nasty!

Or they might burn you with cigarettes

Or poke pencils in your nose

and whack your head on a desk

Very bloody!

For girls, they'd slash your face with razors

Forget about marriage!

Happy days! Ah, youth is grand!

But the deadline is today

Yes, I'm sorry

This is work, not a hobby

I have to see my friend

Is she more important than your job?

The girl who knocked me down?

Yes

Do you like embroidery?

I guess so...

Yes!

Me, too

Making clothes was everything to me

I gave my life to this business

And friendships meant nothing

I sacrificed them for my work

I believed work was more important

I'm sorry but I...

Now, I have no friends

Absolutely none

There's nobody I can really talk to

You must go

You must see her

Yes

How do I get to the Ushiku Buddha?

Take route 294 to the 125 to Kasumigaura

Cross over Tsuchiura to Amizakashitare

turn right and you're there

Grandmother!

She seems troubled

Thank you

But I don't know how to ride!

What was that for?

Just hit the starter, then turn this to take off

Easier than a bicycle!

I'll bring it back

Goodbye everybody

I'm leaving this world...

for another one

Do I have to give birth?

Who?

Where am I?

I'm a mother

But I can't decide

Mother?

Even if I give birth...

this child...

won't be happy

You have to let me out!

If I'm not born now...

Ichigo!

It's moving!

Give birth, you adulterer!

Ichigo!

It's so full of energy

My baby...

I guess it really wants to live

Ichigo!

Miko, Ichiko's little friend is here

Miko, how'd the gang get to be such a mess?

Why merge with the Tsuchiura crew?

Getting bigger and pushing people around

Things have changed

Small gangs just don't cut it

Can't turn the clock back

lbaraki unite!

It's not my call

Himiko gave me the order

Himiko?

She told me and Tsuchiura's boss

to unite the women of lbaraki

So you're just Himiko's puppet?

Show some manners

Society chucked us out

Common sense and decency...

Didn't we want to escape from all that?

So what?

Look at you!

Your boss commands...

and you obey

No different from the world we left behind

The gang grew up. Why don't you?

If this is getting old

I think I'll stay young

Figure you can just leave?

Figure your frilly friend is more important?

She's no friend

She stands up for herself

She follows only her own rules

Next to her, you sheep are worth nothing

So you're through with us

You got that right

I'm going it alone

Like her

First, face your challenge

I've got your challenge right over here

Bring it on

You got any guts without a weapon?

I'll kick your ass

Get ready to bleed

Can't take it?

Take this!

Finish her!

So, no rules?

I'm ready!

Ichigo

Shut up!

Momoko!

You bitches really got me pissed off now!

Ideally...

I would have been born in the Rococo era

What did Himiko say to you?

She ordered you to unite lbaraki?

Which Himiko is that?

The real Himiko wouldn't speak to scum like you

What are you saying?

Do you know the real Himiko?

Can you prove she exists?

You think you can?

You bet I can

I'm her daughter

Listen up!

I'll tell you why she disappeared

She fell in love

With your precious Daikanyama embroiderer

They loved each other

After they first made love...

my father embroidered her golden dragon

They married, then disappeared

Only I know where they live

My dad taught me

I was his best apprentice

Let me show you my work

The work of a legend

Just compare it to the crap you're wearing

Really OK to tell this rabble...

these great secrets?

Maybe not

Fools like you make me talk

Want to make an enemy of Himiko's daughter?

Every girl in Eastern Japan would hunt you down

If you swear never to touch my friend...

I'll give you lbaraki

OK

My lady, if you please

For the record, we win, you lose

Nice lie!

My mouth got carried away

But why did they fall for it?

Because it wasn't all lies

Himiko couldn't order Miko

They couldn't swallow their own lies

so they easily fell for yours

Was your story a lie?

Of course!

Himiko never existed

A few years back, I invented her

I forged her diary and

sent it to a biker magazine

They actually published it

and the legend just kept growing

Wait a minute. Why did you...

feed me that crap about Emma's embroidery?

You weren't buying my story

I got offended

That's one more I owe you

You don't have to pay me back

I wasn't going to

I mean, I can't

I can't afford it!

Here's what happened next

The next day...

Cute! Beautiful!

He loved my handiwork

And I became a part-time designer

He asked me to join the company after graduation

But then I thought, I preferred...

buying my favourite clothes to making them

Because it's a more extravagant lifestyle

You see, I'm still a child

Riding around my own frilly streets

Ichigo began modelling for "Baby"...

after impressing a perverted cameraman

And so began her new career

On her first day, she broke two cameras

and left 5 of the crew with ugly bruises

Get your hands off me, you perverts!

She was very beautiful

Soon everyone wanted her to pose

But it just wasn't her style

She preferred her bikes and greasy overalls...

She rides the roads of Shimotsuma...

Alone, of course

Before I forget...

Another page was added to the Himiko legend

The legend says...

She had a daughter

who took up her mother's legacy

uniting gangs everywhere

With a companion, she destroyed the bad gangs

Nobody knew why, but...

she always wore a frilly dress

My bike ignites!
