Lunlun the Flower Child: Hello to the Country of Cherry Blossoms
Hey! Look! Look! That's Mt. Fuji!
We've finally arrived in Japan!
During the season of cherry blossoms,
Lunlun traveled to Japan to visit her friends.
Welcome, Lunlun!
Midori-san!
This is my brother Yashio.
Hello.
Nice to meet you.
These are Nouveau and Cateau.
Get out of my way!
Come, Togenishia-sama. Have a look.
It's exactly as Yaboki said.
Almost no greenery.
The sky is grim, the air is very stuffy, and the river is polluted.
The pollution in Tokyo is pretty bad.
Good thing we came here then, Togenishia-sama.
This should be a great place to further our plans!
Definitely!
Indeed!
Hey, old man.
"Old man!?"
He was using that.
Back off!
Are you okay?
Where are the best places to see cherry blossoms in Tokyo?
Ueno and Kudan.
There's nothing more Japanese than cherry blossoms, I'm really looking forward to seeing them!
Breaking news:
The cherry blossoms in Kudan have all suddenly fallen.
This phenomenon has left everyone puzzled.
Could pollution have caused this?
It couldn't be...
Could Togenishia have done this?
Eh?
Togenishia despises the beauty of nature.
Isn't the nature of Japan already being destroyed?
That's why they're targeting it.
But everyone really loves nature!
That's why they're trying so hard to restore it.
In that case, everything should be fine.
There's no reason to fear Togenishia.
Where are you going, Lunlun?
Where do you think Togenishia will strike next?
Ueno.
No doubt!
W-who was that talking just now?
No one has any idea of what we're up to, Togenishia-sama!
Everyone thinks this is pollution's doing.
Alright, time to spray!
Ch-cherry blossoms!
What on earth's going on?
What's happening?
They're so confused!
This one next!
I won't let you!
Oh! It's Lunlun!
Lunlun! I won't allow you to get in my way!
Get out of here!
Togenishia, cherry blossoms represent Japan!
Why are you destroying them?
In the language of flowers, cherry blossoms mean "the beauty of the heart!"
I hate it!
That's right!
Only Togenishia-sama is worthy of such a term.
How dare you laugh at me!
No matter what you say, you are nothing compared to cherry blossoms, Togenishia!
How dare you!
Togenishia-sama! Calm down! Calm down!
Don't use the Pollen Wind!
Shut up!
I'm going to finish you off, Lunlun!
Blow! Pollen Wind!
I'll send you flying!
I warned you...
Lunlun!
That cursed Togenishia!
Lunlun, we have to hurry and do something!
Unless I get near the cherry blossoms...
...I can't use the Flower Key.
We have to go all the way down there?
Oh!
Togenishia-sama, I hear there are two other famous cherry blossom viewing places:
Yoshinoyama in Nara and Arashiyama in Kyoto.
Let's wipe them all out!
You really think they took the Shinkansen?
My nose is never wrong.
I think I get it now, Lunlun
Two of the most famous places for cherry blossoms are Yoshinoyama and Arashiyama.
Hurry! Get on!
I heard the cherry blossoms in Tokyo have all fallen.
What's happening?
It's pollution's fault!
Right! It must be pollution!
Oh! It's so pretty!
Looks like things are still okay in Arashiyama.
The cherry blossoms here are so beautiful.
I won't forgive her for killing them!
Togenishia is somewhere nearby!
You two wait here.
Oh! They're so pretty!
Right!
Fleur Fleur Fleur!
Wow! Togenishia-sama, she's so pretty isn't she?
She's nothing special.
Of course Togenishia-sama is the special one.
No matter how beautiful she is, she can't compare to you.
She's still beautiful nonetheless.
Hey there, let me see your face!
Oh! Playing hard to get.
No need to hide. Let me have a look!
You're Lunlun!
Take a good look at your face, Togenishia.
This is your real face!
Take this!
Nonsense! This isn't my face!
Your face reflects the evil in your heart!
N-No!
This is just an effect of the Pollen Wind!
Do you believe your face can compare to the cherry blossoms?
They're far more beautiful than you!
Shut up!
Stop it! Stop! Stop!
Togenishia-sama, wait for me! Don't leave without me!
Yay! Yay!
Yay! They got what they deserve!
Lunlun, we need really to cherish nature if we
want Togenishia to stay away from here for good.
Japan is a beautiful country full of blooming flowers year-round, isn't it?
Take this bulb on behalf of Lunlun.
The bulb Serge gave them
soon bloomed into a beautiful flower.
That flower is called a "gladiolus."
Whenever Midori and Yashio see these flowers,
they recall their wish to cherish nature just as Lunlun would have.
They take take as a vital warning.
In the language of flowers,
gladiolus means "warning."
