My name is Yuichi Taira.
People call me...
Ichi!
Why do they call me Ichi (number one)?
Exam Rankings: 1st YUICHI TAIRA
That's because...
Exam Rankings: 1st YUICHI TAIRA Needless to say my grades are...
Sports activities as well...
Ichi!
And of course, there's my popularity!
In every area, I'm always on top!
I'm the number one elite among all elites.
I'm the hero who everybody loves!
THE GOLDEN SHOES
That morning should have been the same as usual.
I am so cool!
Good morning!
Have a nice day!
See you later!
Good morning!
You're Shonen Bat!
The second street assault occurred...
exactly in the same manner as the assault on Tsukiko Sagi.
Based on the information we have so far...
this assault seems to have been committed by...
a sixth grade elementary student...
who wears gold inline skates and a baseball cap.
I couldn't believe it when I heard it.
How could an elementary school student become a violent criminal?
I see. That's why.
Oh, come on! Why is everybody so ignorant?
How could I be Shonen Bat?
You know I'm...
YUICHI TAIRA For Student Council President
"A Bright Future for the School"
Everybody, thank you for supporting me.
I will do my best to work hard...
as Student Council President, for all the students!
"Ushii is Here For You"
Shogo Ushiyama.
"Ushii is Here For You"
He transferred here from another school at the end of the spring semester.
The only thing he's good at is getting good grades.
A country bumpkin from a low income family.
He's fat, sweaty and sucks at sports.
I can't believe he's even challenging me.
Is he the one who spread the rumor?
Of course, it must be this pig!
Good morning, Ichi!
Good morning, Usshi!
The student council election is coming soon.
Good luck to both of us!
Yeah, of course!
May the best person win!
Until I find some proof, I'll leave you alone.
But don't underestimate me, you pig!
Gold Award
Oh, well. A hero would never be defeated by this kind of a dirty trick.
I'll keep my head high.
Good morning!
You're the one! You should be executed!
He must have done it.
- It's no wonder. - He's gotta be the one.
This is yours, isn't it?
Kawazu said you dropped this.
I heard that he was attacked while chasing you around.
However, he said that he didn't see the suspect very well...
because it happened so unexpectedly.
How about you, Ms. Sagi?
You didn't see the attacker?
How sad.
I have to clean you up.
Ms. Sagi, I don't want to offend you...
but you've been involved in both incidents.
Most likely, the suspect would be someone you know.
Can you think of anybody?
How about you?
Did you see the attacker?
I know you were there. Right, Maromi-chan!
Huh?!
Is he all right?
I meant, Mr. Kawazu's condition...
He's in stable condition, Miss.
Here!
- I got it! - Hey! Pass it here!
Completely ignored.
My mom was saying...
Nasty talk!
Everybody is manipulated by the media. How idiotic.
Thank you, Usshi!
No problem. I was about to leave anyway.
Hey Usshi, do you want to come to my place today?
Really? Are you sure?
Why is fat-Usshi stealing my position?
How could he do such a thing?
He's just a slow...
stupid and obese country bumpkin...
who's as fat as a cow!
Whatever!
I don't need you guys! I have...
Bullying?
It's not that...!
I'm just being ignored.
And they talk behind my back.
And they give me dirty looks.
Yuichi...
Harumi Chono.
Her official role is my private tutor...
but I don't really need one.
She is, so to speak, an oasis for my heart.
Does your mom know about this?
Thank you for your help.
It's my pleasure.
Please don't forget, Miss Harumi...
we're having his birthday party next Sunday.
Yes, I'll be here.
Well then, have a good session.
Does your teacher know about it? Do you want me to tell her?
Don't worry about it.
Your concern for me is more than enough.
I'll take care of this by myself.
Who would want that?
If an adult steps into this kind of problem...
things will get more complicated.
But, I can't just leave things as they are.
The student council election is coming soon.
I have to do something.
Ichi! Ichi!
Don't call me by that name...
What's the matter, Ichi? Did you want to talk to me?
You are so disgusting!
Ichi?
Didn't you hear me?
A weasel like you doesn't have the right to call me by that name.
What do you mean by "a weasel"?
I know it's you.
Don't play dumb.
You put the anonymous letter in my locker...
and spread the rumor that I'm Shonen Bat!
Why don't you admit it?!
You knew you couldn't win the election...
by competing on equal terms!
So you ruined my reputation!
So am I right?! Huh?!
Ichi!
Don't say that name!
Now, I want you all to write your honest opinion!
All right, start writing now.
Open the image file?
Everyone! Must I say it again?
Turn the cell phones off during class!
Teacher!
People are bullying Yuichi Taira.
What?
Who?! Who pulled this kind of dirty trick?
Teacher, Yuichi will be ostracized, if we don't do anything about this.
I really hate him!
Poor Ichi!
You think Tsukiko Sagi is naturally out of tune like that?
I have no idea what young people these days are thinking.
I'm one of those young people, too.
Yup. Including you.
Did you find out anything about that homeless woman's whereabouts?
We're still looking, but she never had a permanent address to begin with.
He still hasn't been arrested, has he?
Golden Bat!
You mean Shonen Bat.
Oh, yeah. Shonen Bat.
I heard that his bat is golden.
So anyway!
The police came to my place, too.
It felt like I was in a cop show.
So what did they ask you?
Well, they showed me this sketch of the suspect and...
What? He was an elementary school kid?
Really?
So then, he does have a metal baseball bat?
But did you hear this? He grins right before he attacks.
That's so scary!
I heard that his shoes and bat are both gold.
What if his eyeballs are also gold?
Shonen Bat What if his eyeballs are also gold?
Shonen Bat
It's scary.
Shonen Bat That's not funny.
Shonen Bat
Everything is that pig's fault!
I was being bullied discreetly...
but now it's become official.
Mr. Taira...
Conference Room
Well, just one last question.
Conference Room
Have you ever met a person named Tsukiko Sagi?
She's the designer who was attacked first, right?
Of course, I don't know her personally at all.
Thank you for your cooperation!
I'm sorry.
It's not that you're a suspect. This is simply our job.
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 assailant!
But I felt really relieved.
The police have finally shown that I'm not a suspect.
That's it!
I should use this chance!
Turning crisis into chance! That's so much like me!
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday Ichi!
Happy birthday!
Ichi, happy birthday!
Happy birthday, Yuichi!
I'm sorry Ichi.
Forgive my suspicion.
We were all being tricked by Ushiyama.
We were all so stupid to believe the word of that pig!
Please be the same Ichi, now and forever!
Thank you.
Everyone, thank you!
The police investigation worked against me.
I will do my best to work hard...
as Student Council President, for all the students!
Take your craft assignment home. Wow! Awesome! Your robot looks so cool, Ichi!
Golden (bat) Award
Ichi, you're so great!
Golden (bat) Award Yeah! You can do anything!
I'm sure you'll be the next Student President!
That's right!
Yes! Ichi's the one!
Why?
Why is this happening to me?
It has nothing to do with me.
An incident like a street assault has nothing to do with my life.
Ichi!
Ichi.
I'm not angry about what happened last time.
Why is this pig carrying a palm tree?!
I hope the real assailant will be arrested soon...
so that people would forget about it.
I understand very well how you feel.
I was also bullied at my previous school.
Don't lump us together!
That's the reason I transferred.
The School Counselor told me to be positive...
and take on many challenges at my new school.
I wish he would get attacked.
That's why I challenged myself to run in this election.
Why don't you get beaten by Shonen Bat?
Why don't you get beaten!
Then I can...!
Yuichi, you did a terrific job.
Please share your feelings with us.
I just tried to do the right thing.
However, I feel very sad about what happened to Ushiyama.
What a true hero!
Yuichi Taira may have caught Shonen Bat...
but he's even more concerned about his friend.
Ichi! Ichi!
Lucky!
Wait!
I'll get you!
No matter what!
I'll get you!
Wait!
Wait!!
This evening, an elementary school boy was attacked...
on a street in Musashino City, Tokyo.
The boy was seriously injured.
The police department is investigating the incident...
in relation to the other attacks in the same area.
Investigators believe it may be the work of the same attacker.
- Next, views from across the country...
- I think I met him once before.
That's just your imagination.
Maromi, you must remember it too, when I...
You're thinking too much.
That was a long time ago.
How could he look exactly the as same as before?
There's no way. It's too strange.
You're also acting a little bit strange.
Forget about things that happened a long time ago.
Everything is Shonen Bat's fault!
Right?
Yes...
Let's go.
Hey, wait a second.
Where are we going?
Where do you think?
Ichi! Go for it!
Ichi, you're awesome!
Home-run!!
Yeah, Ichi...
I'm so cool.
What happened to going to school, Yuichi!?
Isn't today the day of the Student Council Election?
You'll be late.
No!
I'm not going!
Can you hear me?
Yuichi!
I was right next to Ushiyama when he was attacked.
Everybody knows that I hated him.
The suspect!!
I'll get blamed if I go to school today!
Open the door! Yuichi!
Yuichi, it's time to go to school!
Look!
It's the Shonen Bat!
Oh, yeah.
You are a coward!
You are the lowest!
Murderer!
Stop it!
No, it's not true!
I knew that you did it!
No, it's not me!
I'm not Shonen Bat!!
Everybody!
It's Shonen Bat!
The real Shonen Bat!
It's Shonen Bat!
Ichi!
To begin with...
a convolvulus who lives in an ivory tower...
dreams every night of being a kaleidoscope.
The bloodsucker sucked the swallowtail.
She is torn off, ripped up and broken.
Two lips are floating around in the dark of night.
The golden shoes will answer your call.
You see a ferry boat far on the equinox.
Well...
