"The Bat" "Supervisor:" "Chuzo Aoji Animation:" "Yasuji Murata" "Long, long time ago, the birds and the beasts were at war." "Fierce battles took place in the fields, mountains..." "I am General Long-ear." "You're not my match!" "You wish!" "I am Warrior Wing-tail!" "Better run for now!" "I am Swordsman Long-nose." "What a perfect name!" "You flat-face!" "I am Agent Wing-speed." "Right, earthbound!" "The fierce battles went on..." "It started over nothing, and now there seems to be no end." "You insolent muck!" "Monkey King!" "Neither side giving in, battles take place everywhere." "Advance!" "Natural born enemies, the cat and mouse... work as a team here." "Ratted him out!" "Advance!" "I hate this." "It's not in my blood." "You're such a pig!" "We're at war!" "Can't fight on an empty stomach." "Calm down." "It's better we eat first." "You have a point." "Mmm, yum!" "Itchy there." "Amidst this chaos was a wise bat." "They've started again." "Who's leading today?" "Flying with birds when they lead." "That was close!" "Get me that!" "Now attack!" "Walking with beasts when they're up." "Oops, no good." "When caught, he talks his way out." "Hold it!" "You're a bird!" "No, I am a beast." "Take a look." "See here." "I am a breed of a mouse." "Really?" "I see." "That was close." "Hold it!" "You're a beast!" "No, I'm not." "I can fly." "As you can see, I'm just like you!" "Fine, you may go." "Then after a battle is over..." "He'd sell the swords left on the battlefield." "A sly devil he was." "This is great!" "I'm so smart!" "Being at war for long drained both parties." "They started to discuss reconciliation." "We must commit no more evil." "It all began because of you beasts!" "What!" "You liar!" "Oh, we mustn't." "We've had enough." "Indeed." "Coming to an agreement, they decide to... host a reconciliation party." "Both parties gather in the hall." "They've all waited for this day." "They put on their best manners." "No!" "But in no time, they are in their birthday suits!" "So delicious!" "And now the show begins." "Yeah!" "We love magic!" "Bravo!" "Next is the bat dance." "Huh?" "That there..." "How shameless!" "Unforgivable!" "Stop that dance!" "You're always busy at work, but... which side are you really on?" "Well..." "It is an honor... to be a part of the beasts..." "While also... with the birds..." "How dare you!" "No loyalty!" "Unacceptable!" "You are not to be a part of us!" "Neither do we accept you!" "A scoundrel like you!" "Oh!" "Have mercy on me!" "Please take me into your party!" "I beg you!" "You impudent fool!" "Leave!" "Now!" "Be gone!" "Ever since, as shameless as it was, the bat hid during the day." "Instead it came to quietly wander at night." "That is it for "The Bat."" "THE END" "Benshi:" "Midori Sawato"
