BEIKA CITY HALL
What's your business?
Business…
you ask?
A change of address!
"DEATH TRAP"
Please fill this paper out and wait for your number to be called.
Oh, okay.
NOTICES
STOP DEPOPULATION
I expected to be made to wait.
SHIMANE PREFECTURE HANZAWA'S HOME
The city hall of a big city will definitely be crowded.
So make sure you go in the morning.
That's what my mom said. I won't let my guard down!
Customer number 108.
It's time!
Your moving-in notice please.
Okay.
Okay, that's all.
Welcome to Beika Town!
Now I am a resident of Beika Town.
These are gifts for people who move here.
Please enjoy your new life.
It has Beika Town's logo on it.
The kanji "Bei" is a flower!
You're right! Are you sure I can take these?
Go right ahead!
I corrected it just like you told me to.
This part is missing the upward brushstroke.
I can't accept this. Next!
MOVING OUT
Please let me leave this town! I don't wanna die!
What a thoughtful town…
It's all going according to plan.
Should I just go ahead and commit…?
A murder!
Oh, Mr. Hanzawa, I forgot.
Do you have a driver's license?
Oh, yes.
Would you like to change the address on it as well?
Oh, okay.
No, you don't change the address on your driver's license here.
It's in the building next door…
DESTROY CULPRITS
Beika Police Station!
METROPOLITAN POLICE
What an aura…
Now that I think about it, I heard a rumor
that while Beika Town has lots of crime, its clearance rate is 100%!
There's a collective of special crime fighters!
Ugh!
I-It's okay. I haven't done anything yet.
To be honest, I want to turn back,
but if I don't update my address, I can't use my license as an ID.
Signing up for a card at Shitaya would end up being a huge pain.
Do you have a utilities bill with your address written on it?
I must go!
CONTINUED IN PART B
C'mon, still?
There's lots of people…
But I don't see any police officers.
Mom, when can we go home?
Soon. Right after I renew my driver's license.
That's what you said yesterday.
Oh, did I?
What? Everyone here is waiting to renew their license?!
Police officers are busy solving crimes.
Because there's a new case every day, all the officers are out in the field.
But I'm sure the detectives will catch the bad guys, so be patient until then.
Okay.
They're back!
Now the front counter will open!
We can finally go home!
Hello? This is Megure.
What?! A body was found?!
Is that true, Mori?
We're moving out!
Yes, sir!
Damn you, Mori…
I can't do this…
Even if one case is solved, there's a new one right after.
The front counter will never open…
Mom, this is all the criminals' fault.
I'll catch them!
There's a kid my age who's always catching them too!
I'll do it too, so don't cry, Mom!
Hiroki…
Yeah. Let's catch them ourselves!
That's right! We can't just leave it to the police!
We'll catch the criminals!
-Yeah! -Whoa! He's running!
-He's acting suspicious! -Get him!
Are you okay? You look a little drained.
Urgh!
It's no big deal. This happens often.
We can't leave this town anyway.
It's just how they pass the time.
Here, have a breath of fresh air.
Ah, spring.
Sounds of explosions, eternally repeating, inescapable
What a wonderful haiku. You can feel the impermanence of nature.
What? It doesn't have any season-themed words?
"Explosions" is a spring-themed word.
Mom!
The next day.
Mission complete…
I've changed the address on my driver's license.
I stayed in line overnight and it's finally done.
I'm never coming back to the police station.
And now, I'm done with all the documentation.
It's about time to put into motion…
my murder plan!
Mr. Hanzawa, there was a delivery for you.
It's from Mom!
I also sent this notice that says your license will expire soon.
So don't forget to go to the police station, okay?
Mooom!
COME BACK AGAIN
The Culprit Hanzawa has finished its third episode.
The word on the street is some people stop watching after the third episode.
But to keep your attention, I, Hanzawa, will literally bare it all.
And so, the next episode will begin with a shower scene.
The title will be "The Jet Black Shower Scene."
For a crime parody anime like The Culprit Hanzawa, this is a dangerous episode.
As freedom of expression becomes limited,
keep cheering on Hanzawa, who's fighting back with only his body.
Please watch it at least 13 times.
