Raa-eee-yaa Ra-ra-e-yo-ra
A magnificent mushroom cloud in the sky
Raa-eee-yaa Ra-ra-e-yo-ra
In the afternoon of birds pecking at food in an alley
Touching the grass under the sunlight streaming through the leaves
I'll talk with you
See, on the lunch bench A dream blossoms
Carry the sound of the waves in your heart
Sink your blues
Stretch a bridge to tomorrow
Don't worry about tsunami
Raa-eee-yaa Ra-ra-e-yo-ra
A magnificent mushroom cloud in the sky
Raa-eee-yaa Ra-ra-e-yo-ra
The afternoon of birds pecking at food in an alley
Raa-eee-yaa Ra-ra-e-yo-ra
The dream I nurtured on the lunch bench
Raa-eee-yaa Ra-ra-e-yo-ra
The afternoon, born on the day of the sunlight streaming through the leaves
Excuse me.
We received a call from North Station...
that a severely injured person had been admitted to the hospital.
Um, she was struck on the head...
and since there's a similarity with the series of attacks...
they'd like to refer to our report just in case.
MHZ
Are you awake?
You surprised us. It was so sudden.
He came.
Shonen Bat.
Amnesia?
Can you imagine, it's Hirukawa's daughter.
Poor girl.
What about Tsukiko Sagi?
Shonen Bat...
Maybe that fainting fit was an act too.
Section Leader Hirukawa's daughter...
We already nabbed the culprit.
Are you trying to tell me there's another wacko like Kozuka?
Or rather...
Either way, with the victim having amnesia and no witnesses...
you've got nothing to work with.
Besides, it happened within North Station’s jurisdiction.
Our case is closed.
Anyway, the outer moat is filled up. Now we deal with the inner castle.
Let's go.
How many times do I have to tell you?
I'm a Holy Warrior!
I have no time to waste in a place like this!
Tell me if you found the Mi Jot tribe.
I'll go back to the save point again, and...
How did you attack Tsukiko Sagi?
The first victim. You haven't told us about her yet.
At that time, Gohma was...
The first attack was a hoax set up by Tsukiko Sagi.
There was no street assailant anywhere.
You just went along for the ride with the phony street assailant...
and attacked people indiscriminately...
deluding yourself into thinking you're some kind of ridiculous hero.
A game or whatever it is, you're not a "chosen one" at all.
I...
You can't do anything alone.
The only thing you're capable of is being a wanna-be.
I have to save the world...
You're nothing but a pathetic copycat!
I'm the Holy Warrior!
In short, you felt cornered and wanted to escape.
How relieved you'd feel...
if you could just have been attacked by a street assailant...
Who cares about that senile old man?
I'm the victim for accidentally hitting him.
Then arrest the real suspect, quickly!
Because of this incident, Yuichi is now being bullied in school!
Other kids are saying that he's the suspect!
To me all of them looked somewhat relieved after they were attacked.
I'm very sorry to have troubled you to come here.
Is there something else?
Well, thanks to your cooperation, Kozuka confessed.
However...
The only ones I attacked were that fat kid and the middle aged man!
The rest wasn't me. It's true!
I really didn't do the other ones!
But...
May I ask you a question?
I don't mean to offend you, but...
By any chance...
were you being troubled by some personal issues...
before you were attacked?
Maybe something that made you feel emotionally cornered...
Why are you asking such a thing?
It doesn't have to be directly related to the attack.
Trouble...
It can be something really small.
Maybe your mom scolded you, or you forgot to do your homework.
Trouble... Trouble...
Oh, you don't have to start troubling yourself trying to remember.
Thank you for your cooperation.

What did you say?
I'm talking about Kozuka.
Maybe his statement that he only attacked Ushiyama...
and Section Leader Hirukawa wasn't a total lie.
Section Leader Hirukawa aside, the point here is Ushiyama.
He is the one case that's different.
Different? What do you mean?
All the victims had something in common.
They were all under situations where they were emotionally distraught.
Sagi...
Her case is different, isn't it?
Sagi was under pressure for the next design...
Kawazu was in financial difficulty...
Yuichi Taira was being bullied...
Harumi Chono wouldn't tell me...
but it seemed like she'd been troubled about something.
But there was nothing troubling Ushiyama in his case.
He didn't have any personal problems when he was attacked.
What are you trying to say?
Fine.
Let's say Kozuka only attacked Hirukawa and Ushiyama.
Then who attacked the others?
That's...
I don't know how, but who in the world could pull off such a trick...
as to hand-pick targets on the verge of nervous breakdown, huh?
Hey, look.
"An investigation must be undertaken scientifically," remember?
What does your detective's instinct tell you?
My detective's instinct?
It dried up long ago.
A series of street attacks with no logical connection.
A copycat who can't distinguish a game from reality.
I've had enough.
Hey, it's getting cold.
What's the matter?
He came.
Shonen Bat.
I was really impressed by Shonen Bat.
He's only a kid, but he's so cool.
So I thought, if...
if I'm gonna do it anyway, then... before that...
And what about Kawazu?
How did you attack him?
Is it like we suspected? Were you following Tsukiko Sagi?
Believe me, please!
I saw about the attack on Mr. Kawazu on TV, and...
How did you attack Yuichi Taira and Harumi Chono?
I already told you so many times...!
It was you! It was all your doing!
You think you can keep making fools of the police?!
Detective...
The Ancient Master...
Take me to the Ancient Master...
Wait, is this everything we ordered?
I wonder?
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Sautéed black swallowtails, sirs.
Now, I'll show you my miraculous illusion. Going through a wall!
Nice and easy!
There!
My next trick is the greatest magic trick of the century!
Make sure you keep your eyes wide open and observe carefully!
It's important.
Ms. Taeko Hirukawa
Are you aware of anything...
that's been troubling your daughter recently?
That's been troubling your daughter recently?
Please.
Mr. Hirukawa!
Don't you see?
Mr. Hirukawa's daughter was also being troubled by something!
She was feeling cornered!
She's also a victim of Shonen Bat!
I checked the log on her cell phone.
The call with her father was terminated at 4:13 pm.
That's about the same time as when Ms. Sagi collapsed.
In other words, they both called Shonen Bat at the same time...
and he appeared to the both of them at the same time.
He's one person, yet he's not.
He's capable of appearing in front of any person...
who's been driven into a corner and has nowhere to go, anytime, anywhere.
He's still at large!
Shonen Bat is still out there!
Maniwa.

Take some time off.
Someone cornered...
If we can specify the person who's cornered, we can nab him.
Yes, right now!
Please, just one more time, trust me one last time!
Chief, if they find out, I'll get a salary cut...
I won't get away with just a salary cut.
Don't expect me to take responsibility for this.
Kozuka?
Freeze!
Hey!
The Musashino South Police Station held a press conference yesterday...
regarding the suicide of the boy...
who was in police custody as a suspect in the series of street attacks.
The Police Department made a public apology...
and also announced the resignation of the Station Commander...
for not being able to fulfill his managerial responsibility...
as well as resignation of detectives...
who had been in charge of the case.
With their resignations, this case will most likely be closed by...
the prosecutor's office now that the suspect has been declared dead.
They say he went through the wall...
Too bad for the Chief.
Teaming up with Maniwa was his downfall, I'd say.
Someone cornered...
If we can specify the person who's cornered, we can nab him!
Where...?
Where's the cornered person?
CQ, CQ, this is...
It wasn't suicide.
Kozuka was murdered.
He's one person, yet he's not.
He's capable of appearing in front of any person...
who's been driven into a corner... anytime, anywhere.
He's still at large.
Shonen Bat is still out there!
To begin with...
The animal trail that goes beyond...
The one who can follow it is the Holy Warrior.
A seagull, a zebra and a winter bee...
There are no shadows of them wandering from place to place.
Sitting in a happy circle around a brazier.
Even dead branches add to the mountain scenery.
Why do the crows caw?
Well...
