"(Homework)" "I was abducted by aliens and when I came to, I was on the shore of the Amazon!" "Hopping across the backs of crocodiles," "I frantically made my way through the jungle only to find myself on a cliff!" "With a defiant cry, I leapt into the Pacific Ocean and swam straight to Japan!" "(Exclusively For Kotobuki)" "(Bam)" "So?" "Why did you really forget your homework?" "Let's hear an honest answer, Kotobuki." "I was playing games." "Then say so in the first place." "That's enough." "Sit down." "What?" "For real?" "Lucky me!" "Woo-hoo!" "I'll overlook it for today." "All right!" "He's acting kind of weird today." "However..." "Take that!" "And that!" "And that!" "Damn Naka-Teach!" "Shouldn't you hurry on home and do your homework?" "Naka-Teach is serious, you know." "Take that!" "However, if you forget your homework again tomorrow, you alone will have supplementary classes after school!" "Do you understand, Kotobuki?" "!" "I ain't got time for supplementary classes!" "After school, you go have fun in Shibuya." "That's common sense for gals." "What's this?" "Was this here before?" ""Let's Play Seal"?" "Well, let's see." "Take a picture while making a wish and if you get stickers with golden frames, your wish will come true!" "Man, sounds like such a crock!" "It sounds like fun!" "Let's try it." "I wish that Ran will become a quiet student who is never tardy." "I wish that Ran will become a serious student who never forgets her homework." "I wish that Yamato and Miyu will stay lovey-dovey forever." "I wish I will become even better friends with Otohata." "I'm starving." "This smell..." "Mr. Fried Chicken!" "I love cock-a-doodle-doo!" "I wanna eat fried chicken until I'm full." "Golden frames..." "Did we win?" "Oh?" "Where's Ran?" "Oh, Ran!" "We won..." "A student's duty is to study, so dear Miyu, dear Aya, let us hurry on home to study." "Dear Miyu?" "!" "Dear Aya?" "!" "Her personality's changed!" "What's happened to you, Ran?" "!" "Super Debutante " " Goody-Goody " " Ran Kotobuki" "(Kotobuki Residence)" "What the?" "!" "Ran, what in the world is going on here?" "Is something the matter, Dear Brother?" "Dear brother?" "!" "Ran, do you know who I am?" "!" "Are you sure you don't have a fever or something?" "!" "Oh, please, Father." "I am your daughter, Ran, studying hard so that, in the future," "I may become a respectable policewoman and carry on the tradition of the Kotobuki family." "Dear!" "Kiyoka!" "Ran has had a change of heart!" "I always believed that this day would come someday!" "This is everyday wear for Ran that I bought just for such a day!" "Hurray!" "Hurray!" "Hurray!" "Non, non!" "This is a case, datchu!" "Sis has got to have been abducted by a UFO, datchu!" "This life form is an alien wearing Sis's skin, datchu!" "(Shibuya Downtown)" "To protect Japan from attacking aliens, the junior detectives will fight, datchu!" "Take that!" "And that!" "And that!" "I know who you really are, datchu!" "Dear Sayo, that hurts!" "Give back my sis, datchu!" "Sayo!" "Point!" "Kotobuki family precept!" "Kotobuki family precept!" "Anyone who makes the reformed Ran cry..." "Anyone who makes the reformed Ran cry..." "Taizo Giant Swing of Anger!" "Datchu!" "This is your punishment!" "I'm sorry, datchu!" "But it's a case, datchu!" "I have to solve it, datchu!" "(Punishment in Progress)" "(Next Day After School)" "Then, Mr. Nakanishi..." "What is it, Kotobuki?" "Would it be fair to say that naturalism in literature made realism a fixed part of literature in Japan today?" "Yes, that's right." "Kotobuki, you're oddly serious about your studies today." "Did something happen?" "Not at all." "I am but savoring the joy of absorbing knowledge." "Not only did she do her homework, but she voluntarily attended the supplementary class." "Is she up to something?" "Makes me nervous." "Well, then." "I am going to buy reference books, so I would like to excuse myself now." "Be careful on your way home." "Mr. Nakanishi, you take care as well." "Adjective verbs, nara-nari-nari, naru-nare-nare." "Oh, wait up, Ran!" "I'll bet that's space language, datchu!" "Mr. Nakanishi!" "Who are you guys?" "We're junior detectives, datchu!" "What kind of evil plot were the two of you hatching all alone after school, chu?" "I was just teaching the class material to Kotobuki!" "Oh?" "Your voice is shaky!" "What were you doing about five hours ago, chu?" "Are you investigating my alibi?" "Answer truthfully!" "(Arrest Warrant)" "If you lie, we won't let you have your pork cutlet bowl, chu!" "I prefer family bowls." "I was at school the entire day today." "There are plenty of witnesses."

"Hey, look at that!" "I guess it's true that Ran became a gal quitter." "What a shock!" ""Gal quitter" means "to quit being a gal"." "That's common knowledge for gals." "Good afternoon, Otohata and Asou." "What is up with that dress, Ran?" "!" "Is there something strange about it?" "But..." "Or rather, I guess it looks pretty good on you, now that I look at it." "How so?" "But this is a joke, right?" "You think so?" "Thank you very much." "It looks really good on you." "Hey!" "Look at her!" "She's so super-goody-goody!" "Talk about lame!" "How far Ran Kotobuki has fallen!" "Who are you girls?" "You're not so tough after all!" "I thought of all people, you'd stick to the gal way all the way!" "What do you mean by goody-goody?" "I'm disappointed!" "Moron!" "Ha-ha, goody-goody Kotobuki!" "Lame-o, lame to the max!" "Run!" "Why are you so mean to me?" "She isn't acting like she always does." "Man, it messes up my rhythm." "Let's go." "So?" "Any ideas on how this happened?" "We have no clue." "I wonder how we can get her to go back to normal?" "Unbelievable!" "In Japanese, that would be, "the Seven Wonders of the World"!" "What in the world happened to my Ran?" "!" "Who the hell are you calling your Ran?" "!" "Then how about that Ran of mine?" "That's the same thing!" "But it's true!" "Oh, Ran!" "Brother, I've got an idea." "I get it!" "The para-para might trigger her back to being herself!" "Hey!" "Everyone together now!" "No!" "No good." "I'm disappointed." "Usually, she starts dancing no matter where she is when she hears music." "This is stupid." "I'm going home." "Oh, Otohata!" "Ototchi's cold." "What are we gonna do now?" "The prime minister... (Shock)" "Ran's going to study lots, get into Tokyo U, and become the prime minister." "That guy's planning on becoming a high-ranking person and messing up Japan, datchu!" "This is a huge case, the likes of which you rarely see in history!" "Now is the time to show our lethal technique, datchu!" "Roger!" "Shadows creeping towards the city darkened in twilight" "Shadows!" "Shadows!" "Shadows!" ""Pickpocketing!" "Stealing!" "Thieving!"" "Protect the peace of Shibuya!" "We are ju-, ju- (Shibuya Police)" "Junior detectives!" "Datchu!" "Cross Attack!" "Oh, Sayo." "Working hard as always, I see." "Your sister is so proud." "Oh, really, you are such a little troublemaker." "Seeing how she wasn't enraged when we fired upon her, this life form must be an alien after all, datchu!" "We have to inform the fbi!" "But how?" "!" "What is the matter, Sayo?" "I am Ran Kotobuki." "I admire Prince Shotoku and Edison, and I love peace and studying above all else." "This ribbon's a communication antenna for your UFO, isn't it, datchu?" "!" "There must be secret messages from aliens written in here!" "I don't see anything that looks like a chip, chu." "There is nothing that appears to be space language in here either!" "All I see are damaged hair cuticles, datchu." "I know, I just adore smooth and vibrant hair." "Detective Masato, we will commence a follow-up investigation as of now!" "Roger!" "Off we go!" "Detective Kotobuki!" "Are you okay, Detective Kotobuki?" "!" "This is..." "This is probably the alien's doing, too, datchu!" "Detective Kotobuki!" "Detective Masato!" "Study, study." "Ran, wait up." "Let's go to the arcade and take our minds off this for a bit." "Could it be yesterday's..." "Oh?" "It's not here!" "It was definitely here yesterday." "Really?" "In other words, you're saying that Ran changed because of the game machine that's supposed to grant your wishes?" "It's suspicious." "But Ran was her usual self until we came in here." "Right, Aya?" "It said your wish would come true if you won stickers with golden frames." "I know it was real." "Say, Ran..." "She's not here!" "What?" "!" "You were closest to her!" "I'm sorry!" "It's no good, I couldn't find her." "She isn't around here." "What about her cell?" "I can't get a connection." "Oh, Ran?" "Oh, dear Miyu?" "Don't "dear Miyu" me!" "Why did you have your cell turned off?" "!" "Well, good manners dictate that you turn your cell phone off on the train." "Train?" "!" "Ran, where are you right now?" "!" "I am on my way to the bookstore." "So, where the hell are you?" "!" "What?" "!" "Ikebukuro?" "!" "Mami Honda's territory." "Anyway, I'm going to go get her!" "You guys find the sticker machine!" "You just leave that up to us, topknot!" "Come on, it's okay, right?" "Let us take your picture." "I cannot..." "It's rare to see that kind of cosplay these days." "We'll get you into magazines too." "The hell d'you do that for?" "!" "You dare to pass over the great Mami Honda and interview someone else in Bukuro?" "!" "Sorry, Mami!" "Damn it, guys that harass girls for a date are just scum." "Thank you so very much, Miss Mami Honda and Miss Harue Kudoh." "Good afternoon." "Kotobuki!" "What the hell are you doing in Bukuro?" "!" "If you're looking for a fight, I'll take you on!" "Don't be a chicken!" "Mami..." "I came to buy reference books." "A sticker game machine?" "Oh, it wasn't very popular." "We had the dealer take it back just now, so it's probably going to get scrapped." "What'll we do?" "If they take it to the scrap factory, it'll be a pancake." "Oh, my god!" "But we just have to find it." "We wouldn't be in this trouble if we could find it so easily!" "Found it." "Both of you, hurry up!" "Come on, let's go!" "What the heck is up with Kotobuki?" "Rather than a gal, that's more like..." "A debutante?" "No way!" "Does that mean she knows who I really am?" "All right, I'll test just how much of a debutante Ran Kotobuki is!" "Mami, calm down." "We've finally caught you red-handed!" "We have discovered a friend of the alien!" "You two sisters both out to pick a fight with Bukuro?" "Sayo, dear, you should not play pranks." "We're out of power, Detective Kotobuki!" "We'll have to retreat for now, datchu!" "You two shut the hell up!" "Kotobuki!" "You will accept the debutante showdown against the great Mami Honda!" "How exciting, datchu." "Showdown number one." "(Art)" "Ah, tres bien!" "Oui!" "Art is explosiveness!" "Showdown number two." "(Spirit of Harmony)" "Quite a skilled arrangement." "Please make me your pupil!" "What?" "!" "Showdown number three." "(Music)" "Grrr!" "Damn it, I will expose her for the fraud that she is!" "Where did it go?" "We lost sight of it." "Rei!" "Otohata, did you see a truck with a game machine in the back?" "You mean that one that I just passed by?" "Second Place, Tatsukichi, hurry up and get on!" "Wait, please!" "Thanks, Rei!" "Go ahead, don't hesitate and eat." "It's on us today." "Thank you for your kindness." "Hey, it's ESPer Satoh!" "What?" "!" "(Tabasco) (Mustard)" "Who might that be?" "I only watch educational programs on TV, so I am rather ignorant of popular entertainers." "Maybe it was just me." "Please, go right ahead." "Yes, thank you." "This is the end of your goody-goody debutante act." "It is very delicious." "Hey, Kotobuki, we'll leave it at that for today!" "Just you remember this!" "Oh, Ran!" "Dear Miyu!" "Ran, are you okay?" "Miss Mami Honda was kind enough to treat me to lunch." "Anyway, let's hurry up and go find Aya." "Taxi!" "Come on, get in, Ran!" "Assistant Inspector Yamazaki, we have secured the suspect, chu!" "Hurry up and get in!" "Sayo..." "Off we go!" "Aya, Yuya, and Game Machine Tatsuki's Taxi" "How far are they going with it?" "It's the industrial road running along Tokyo Bay." "Okay, got it!" "They got a hold of Ran!" "They're heading this way on the double!" "All right, baby!" "Now, Ran-pyon can go back to being herself!" "Don't mess with me!" "Don't be such a brat!" "You gotta have fun while you've got the chance!" "I said, let her go!" "That's an ironclad rule for gals!" "Ook?" "What's going on?" "Ook!" "This is bad!" "There's a traffic jam!" "We'll lose sight of it!" "Otohata!" "We are ju-, ju" "Junior detectives!" "Datchu!" "Sayo, that's enough already." "There it is!" "Please stop here!" "(Safety First)" "Otohata!" "There's got to be a power switch somewhere!" "Up we go!" "Ook!" "Found it, yay!" "Ook!" "Otohata!" "We're here, datchu!" "Dear Miyu, dear Aya, where are we?" "What are we doing?" "Don't worry about all that." "You just have to stand here and wish to get back to normal." "Get back to normal?" "Why?" "Good grief." "Forcing her would be..." "This is a problem." "At this rate, Ran will be like this forever." "I like the old Ran too." "Take this, and this, and this!" "Give back Sis!" "Sayo Hits!" "Sure she got mad easily and she wasn't good at school and she went through money like crazy, but I loved Sis the way she always was, an energetic gal!" "I haven't the slightest..." "Don't cry, Sayo-ppe." "I understand, dear Sayo." "Three..." "Two..." "One..." "Zero!" "Sis?" "!" "Ran!" "Ran!" "What's everyone doing here?" "What the hell is this dress?" "!" "Some kind of costume contest or something?" "!" "Ran!" "You're back!" "That shock must have severed the telepathic connection with the aliens." "Ook!" "Huge success!" "Don't you remember anything?" "Me, me, me, me, me, me, me!" "Thank goodness, chu!" "Case closed!" "Huh?" "Like hell something that weird could ever happen." "But it's true." "You can't believe it, even seeing that dress?" "Anyway, I'm starving." "And there's this burning sensation in my mouth." "We're super-out of money because of the taxi fares." "Second Place and Otohata went home already, so why don't you give up for today?" "How heartless can you be?" "!" "Just one little drumstick?" "Oh, fine." "Congratulations!" "For our 100,000th customer, we have all-you-can-eat fried chicken!" "For real?" "!" "Woo-hoo!" "Are you okay?" "That face..." "She's totally gone." "I hate it, you're always laughing" "And so strong and cute and popular" "I hate it, I'm so dull and slow" "And no one needs me..." "You're smart and always so perfect" "People probably just make fun of me" "To be honest, I want to try talking to you" "I want to become friends with you" "I was so envious of you" "And my shoulders would tremble as I cried alone" "Tell me, are you alone and afraid, too?" "Is everyone miserable and weak?" "If only I had more courage" "I would have given you a hug" "Next Super GALS!" "Wandering around Shibuya, lost and scared, lonely all by herself, country girl!" "Her name is Maki Komine!" "From a northern land where snow hinders passage in the winter, she's come to ask me to make her my disciple!" "Why the heck do you want to be my disciple anyway?" "What's this?" "Best sense of fashion, awesome sensibilities, perfect style!" "Because the great Ran Kotobuki is the number one super gal in Shibuya!" "Oh, fine, I'll make an exception and make you my disciple!" "Next time on Super GALS!" "Ran Kotobuki," "Maki " " Shiny New " " First Year Gal!" "Don't you miss it!" "That's an ironclad rule for gals!"
