"We are starving!" "Give us something to eat!" "Hand over some food!" "What the hell are these guys?" "!" "Taizo Enthusiastic " " Police Training Project!" "We don't need this." "We don't need this, either." "What's this?" "Oh, this is...!" "It brings back memories!" "(Top Secret)" "Pops." "(Top Secret)" "What're you doing so early on a Sunday morning?" "Oh, next week, Shibuya District is holding a flea market and the Shibuya Police Department is participating, too." "Flea market?" "Having contact with the residents in the area is an important part of our job as police." "In addition, the money we raise will be donated and it'll be spent for the good of the world." "It's two birds with one stone." "Hold on!" "Ran, you help out, too!" "If there's anything you don't need, get it out." "What?" "!" "Why do I gotta sell my things, too?" "!" "I'm not a police officer, after all." "Listen to me, Ran!" "Someday, you will become a respectable policewoman!" "You will have to fight the evil in this world and protect the good citizens!" "In preparation for that day, you have to start nurturing your relationship with the residents in the area now." "And I keep telling you I'm not going to become a police officer!" "Ran..." "What do you think this is?" "What's that?" "You don't remember?" "Back when you were still in grade school, when you were still aspiring to become a respectable police officer!" "Yamato!" "Ran!" "Sayo!" "Get up already!" "Morning..." "Morning, datchu!" "Morning." "Oh?" "Where's Ran?" "Sis is up to her usual thing, datchu." "I can't believe she does it." "Every single day..." "Officer Training Program, step one!" "For criminal investigations, what you need is super-human strength!" "Twenty push-ups!" "Eleven." "Twelve." "Thirteen." "Fourteen." "Fifteen." "Sixteen." "Seventeen." "Eighteen." "Nineteen." "Twenty." "Piece of cake!" "Officer Training Program, step two!" "In pursuing suspects, what you need is the ability to run faster than anyone!" "Sprint at 15 kilometers an hour!" "Piece of cake!" "Officer Training Program, step three!" "In order to arrest a suspect that resists, you need to be agile!" "You must not let these sandbags hit you!" "Piece of cake!" "Morning!" "Morning!" "Ran, mind your manners." "No, this is fine." "Officer Training Program, step four!" "You must be at full power, even just after eating a meal!" "Sprint to your elementary school!" "Piece of cake!" "Oh, hold on a minute." "See you later!" "I wonder if she won't develop a stomach ache from running right after eating." "Her daily training has taken her beyond that!" "No need to worry!" "You don't have to start training her as a police officer from age 10." "What are you saying?" "!" "Our family has been in the police force for generations!" "(Universal Peace)" "If the police line should happen to end with my generation," "I'd never be able to make it up to our ancestors!" "You don't have to worry." "Once I finish school, I plan to become a police officer anyway." "See you later." "Oh, see you later." "Sayo will be going, too, datchu!" "Watch out for cars!" "Yamato, you are certain to become an excellent police officer as well, but I sense it..." "I sense the police officer's soul lying dormant within Ran, passed down from one Kotobuki generation to the next!" "Oh, my, look at the time." "I'm going to be late, too." "Granny, I'll leave your stuff here." "My, my, how kind of you." "Thank you." "Here." "It's not like I did it because I wanted to be rewarded." "Later!" "Come on, quit chatting and cross the street already!" "You're gonna be late!" "Okay!" "Ran, thank you for your help again today." "It's nothing you need to thank me for." "Come on, get going already." "Miss, on today's schedule, you have a piano lesson at 3, a ballet lesson at 4, and a chiropractor's appointment at 5." "Alright." "As you have been born into the Honda family, you must be number one in all things." "Though I realize it must be difficult for you..." "I'm okay." "This is a piece of cake!" "Here we go!" "Hey, man..." "Weird car." "Ran, are you okay on time?" "Oh, it's totally okay." "School's just a quick dash..." "Oh!" "Darn!" "It was my turn to feed the rabbits today." "So, I got abducted by aliens and when I came to," "I was inside their base!" "I managed to escape somehow, but the aliens who came after me blasted away at me with laser beams and fired missiles at me like crazy and..." "Are you listening?" "Not at all." "Let's stay sharp!" "Yeah!" "Yeah!" "Ran, that's you!" "Leave it to me!" "Hold it right there!" "You did it, Ran!" "How do you like that?" "!" "Nice catch, Ran!" "Hit it out of there, Ran!" "One hit and we'll take the lead!" "Give up this futile resistance!" "That's it, Ran!" "That's the spirit!" "You did it, Ran!" "It's a homerun!" "How do you like that?" "!" "The daily Officer Training Program is having its effect." "I'll need to provide her with new trials for the next step soon." "Hey, you, what are you doing there?" "I am no one suspicious!" "I am a detective of the Shibuya Police Department!" "Huh?" "Huh?" "Huh?" "Huh?" "Huh?" "Shoot, I forgot my police pocketbook." "Come on, you're coming with me to the local police box!" "Hey!" "I really am a detective!" "Please forgive me!" "No, no, it's fine as long as you understand." "Part of the blame falls on me for not having my police pocketbook." "Chief Detective!" "Here." "From your wife." "(Police Notebook)" "Well, well." "Thank you." "(Police Notebook)" "Just so we're clear." "I appreciate it." "That reminds me, there's something I want you guys to help me with." "Is it an investigation, Sir?" "!" "I don't believe our department has any cases that are currently facing difficulties." "THAT is why I am asking you!" "In a way, this is important for the future safety of Japan!" "Furthermore, this will require secrecy." "A-A top secret case..." "There!" "Excellent, Ran!" "You did well to find me!" "Ahem!" "You two." "Please don't play in the kitchen in the morning." "We were not playing!" "Find a hiding suspect swiftly and accurately, and arrest him!" "It's step five of the Officer Training Program!" "There you go, eating like that again." "Thanks for the food!" "See you later!" "I swear..." "Oh?" "My!" "She forgot her lunch." "Thanks for the food." "Yamato, are you going already?" "Yeah." "Then, would you take this lunch..." "Where is it?" "Oh, are you going to deliver it for me?" "Sayo, you go." "Okay, datchu!" "Sis!" "Watch out for cars now!" "All is going according to my plan." "Well, I'm going." "Okay, see you later!" "Doing good again today and the air is so fresh!" "Satsuki!" "Rie!" "Morning!" "Yo." "Something's weird." "Ran, did you suddenly get taller?" "It's these." "Ta-da!" "What're those?" "!" "They're called "platform shoes"." "I'm telling ya, they're gonna become hot soon." "I like new things, so I whined a bunch and got Mom to buy them." "I'm gonna kick the villains of this world left and right with these!" "Don't they look kinda cool?" "I don't know if they're cool or not, but they do look powerful." "More like, isn't it hard to walk in them?" "It's a super piece of cake!" "It's like they're a perfect fit for the great Ran Kotobuki!" "I call this the Platform Shoes Detective!" "(Platform Shoes Detective)" "I love both getting dressed up and taking out bad guys." "So when I grow up," "I'm gonna be the most fashionable detective in the world!" "So, I'm the Platform Shoes Detective." "Yes?" "Commence the operation." "Right." "I-I-I-I suddenly feel dizzy!" "Ow!" "Oh, no!" "I dropped a whole ton of change!" "Isn't that obvious?" "I know." "I can't help it!" "That's what it says on the note I got from the Chief Detective!" "Oh, no." "I dropped a whole ton of change." "You okay, Mister?" "I'll help you pick them up." "Oh, thanks." "Here." "Oh, thank you." "Um..." "Gag!" "I-I have to say this?" "!" "What's wrong, Mister?" "Does it hurt where you hit yourself?" "Oh, no, um..." "Thank you, kindhearted young lady!" "This act of kindness will surely be retold in my family for life!" "Farewell!" "It was nothing!" "You make sure you eat better!" "He called her a "kindhearted young lady"!" "Shuddup!" "You got a problem with that?" "!" "Now, then..." "Hey, he forgot a 10 yen coin." "And that is how things went." "I see, I see." "So she acted kindly on her own initiative..." "She has passed the first trial." "Commence the second operation!" "Right!" "Why don't you just keep it?" "You helped him pick them up, after all." "We've got nice weather again today." "Peace is such a wonderful thing." "No way in hell does anyone say stuff." "like that while they're on patrol!" "Mr. Police Officer!" "What is it, energetic young lady?" "This guy dropped a 10 yen coin earlier..." "Oh, is that so?" "Then I will take custody of it." "Here." "Good work." "Take care, honest young lady!" "It was nothing." "You take care, too, Mr. Police Officer!" ""Take care," huh?" "What a waste!" "Shut up!" "It's against my principles to misappropriate things!" "So she turned in even a 10 yen coin to you." "That's my daughter!" "She's passed the second trial with flying colors, too!" "Your father is so happy!" "You are truly the one worthy of becoming a police officer!" "However!" "The lion, the king of beasts, is said to send his cubs down a bottomless ravine and when they come climbing up, he sends them to the bottom again!" "You stupid old man!" "Huh?" "Was that how it went?" "Isn't he supposed to raise the ones that come climbing up?" "Alright!" "It's finally time for the last test!" "Chief Detective, you don't seriously mean to do something like that." "I still believe it's going too far." "Silence!" "Hurry up and get ready!" "R-Right!" "Now, Ran, take this third trial..." "No!" "Take this ULTIMATE trial, and overcome it with flying colors!" "Sis!" "You forgot your lunch, datchu!" "Hey, thanks!" "Woohoo!" "It's fried chicken today!" "Datchu." "It's my favorite!" "Alright!" "Now's the time!" "You really love fried chicken, don't you, Ran?" "Of course!" "Chief Detective, we are sad!" "(Officer)" "I never wanted to see you like this, Chief Detective!" "(Officer Detective)" "Shut up!" "This is for the future of Japan!" "Now, let's go!" "We have come from Black Hole, the third planet!" "We are a gang of villains!" "The Animal Corps!" "Huh?" "We are starving!" "Hand over some food!" "Sayo!" "Hey, you there, girl in the platform shoes!" "If you want her back, hand over that lunch you've got there to us!" "What?" "!" "Let go!" "Let go, datchu!" "Hey, give back Sayo!" "Shut up!" "We're starving!" "We'll do anything to get that lunch!" "Hand over the lunch!" "Hand over the lunch!" "Now, hand over the lunch!" "You're playing dirty!" "You're adults and you're using a hostage?" "!" "We are not adults!" "We are the evil Animal Corps!" "Hand over the lunch!" "Hand over the lunch!" "Ran, don't you think these people are..." "Hand over the lunch!" "Hand over the lunch!" "...kind of sketchy?" "Hand over the lunch!" "Hand over the lunch!" "Let's just hand over the lunch..." "Hand over the lunch!" "Hand over the lunch!" "...and get out of here!" "Hand over the lunch!" "Hand over the lunch!" "Now, hurry up and hand over that lunch!" "Hand over the lunch!" "Hand over the lunch!" "Sis!" "Hand over the lunch!" "Hand over the lunch!" "Forgive me, Ran." "I am doing all of this because I want you to become a respectable police officer." "Police officers must, above all else, protect the safety of the citizens." "Even if you must give up something precious to you." "Now, overcome this ordeal with flying colors for me!" "Will it be your dear younger sister or your favorite fried chicken?" "!" "I'm sure it's a harsh choice for a child like you, but..." "Choose, Ran!" "No way." "What?" "!" "Sis!" "D-D-D-Don't you care what happens to her?" "!" "I make a point of never letting go of anything that I care about!" "So, I'll get Sayo back without handing over my lunch!" "What?" "!" "That's the way of the great Ran!" "People call me the Platform Shoes Detective, Ran Kotobuki!" "I'll show you the results of my daily training!" "Sayo!" "Sayo!" "Are you okay?" "Sis, I was so scared!" "You bastards!" "Uh-oh!" "How dare you do that to Sayo?" "!" "To hell with Black Hole, third planet!" "To hell with the Animal Corps!" "Don't you underestimate kids!" "Abort mission!" "Retreat!" "Are you feeling sorry now, you lousy adults?" "!" "Sis, you're so cool!" "My precious fried chicken lunch!" "Damn those guys!" "I'll never forgive them!" "You know, wasn't that Ran's fault for not catching it right?" "Well, it just goes to show that food grudges are scary." "Sis!" "The Platform Shoes Detective was cool!" "I guess." "That was a piece of cake." "A bear, a rabbit, and a dog, huh?" "That's so weird." "Yeah, they were messed-up adults." "It's too bad they got away today, but they're gonna pay the next time I see them!" "Uh-oh." "I'm gonna make them pay me back for the fried chicken lunch for sure!" "Good luck, Sis!" "Thanks!" "I'm gonna keep going like this and dye my hair." "Red highlights or something would be cool, don't you think?" "I'll get sharp outfits, too, and I'll become the most fashionable detective in the world!" "Are you stupid or what?" "What do you mean?" "!" "Police officers wear uniforms and they're prohibited from wearing accessories or dying their hair." "Gag!" "For real, Mom?" "!" "What?" "Well, I suppose so." "Dressing up during work is a no-no." "What?" "!" "Ran, what does it matter?" "Even if you can't dress up, become a police officer and you can take out all the bad guys you want." "Yup, yup." "I quit." "What?" "If I can't dress up, I quit on becoming a police officer." "Ran, wait!" "Don't be rash!" "Think it over!" "Sayo, I'll leave it to you!" "It's all yours now!" "Okay, datchu!" "Sayo will work hard, datchu!" "R-Ran..." "I'm counting on you, Sayo!" "Datchu!" "So disappointed." "How about it, Ran?" "There's still time." "Why not aim to become a respectable police officer again?" "Oh, seriously, give me a break." "Anything but that." "Go ask Sayo, okay?" "She's been aiming to become a police officer ever since, anyway." "Come on, don't say that." "The police force is great." "They don't go bankrupt, even in a bad economy." "Pops..." "What's this?" "T-T-That's..." "I totally didn't realize it back then, but that was you, wasn't it?" "!" "Uh, well, um..." "My grudge over not getting to eat that fried chicken lunch..." "I'm gonna get even for that, right here and now!" "(Taizo Kotobuki)" "Hold it right there, you stinking old man!" "(Taizo Kotobuki)" "Forgive me, Ran!" "But while I'm sorry I was the bear, what happened to the fried chicken lunch was an accident!" "Shut up!" "If you hadn't done something like that," "my fried chicken lunch wouldn't have been ruined!" "My, what's this commotion about?" "Hold it right there!" "Hold it right there!" "Hey!" "But I'm amazed that you remember about that old fried chicken lunch." "That ability to remember is worthy of a police officer!" "Won't you become a police officer, after all?" "!" "Shut up!" "Food grudges are scary!" "That's all this is about!"
