We'll be sitting ducks out there. Let's wait and see.
We need to think fast and come up with a plan!
I have to hand it to him, snoozing at a time like this.
No!
He's been shot!
Amaru! Amaru!
Amaru?
This is it! Block the tunnel on both sides! We've got them cornered!
Amaru!
Wait!
Where are you going?
Amaru!
Amaru!
Amaru, it's too dangerous!
Come back, Amaru!
I see something coming out!
Fire!
Amaru!
A dragon...
As Amaru burst into flames and rose up toward the sky...
in the form of a massive pillar, for a split second...
I thought I saw a beautiful dragon.
My dearest love...
you turn your face to the wind...
letting your hair blow in the wind...
your faith persisting 'gainst an unknown fear.
We're all lonely creatures in this world.
Nevertheless, we reach out to one another.
Every one of us has someone we love.
There's hope beyond the sky over us.
There's abundance of hope everywhere.
I will always be on your side.
Everything will be all right. Keep the faith.
Amaru's turned into a dragon?
I don't remember a thing!
Our new enemy is the Deputy Cabinet Secretary!
This man is so mean! He's trying to lay siege to our house!
He turns off our electricity, water, and gas!
That's when His Highness invites Hajime to his Kamakura mansion!
The man who pulls Japan's political strings is coming after us!
Find out why in the next episode.
When will the dragons awaken?

What? Oh, really? I see.
That bastard Furuta is skipping the country! The lame brain!
"Congressman Furuta Leaves Country Mysteriously...
Destination unknown... Accompanied by Son Yoshikuni..." What a scoop!
Is Mother at the Junior College?
She's in Osaka today for the national meeting of deans.
That's too bad. I was hoping to get an advance on my allowance.
Do you want $200, $300, or $500? I'll give you your advance!
My father was so happy it was almost creepy.
His good moods were a result of Congressman Furuta's disappearance.
It was understandable, given the fact that...
Furuta was a belligerent tyrant with a violent streak.
Alas. Call it his destiny.
His happiness would only last but a few days.
Mr. Takabayashi is on his way.
Takabayashi? Never heard of him. Who is this Takabayashi?
He's the Deputy Cabinet Secretary.
WHAT?
Kengo Takabayashi, the Deputy Cabinet Secretary.
Hajime Ryudo has entered the People's Daily building.
Mr. Shinkai, the reporter?
Yes, the political reporter.
He was transferred to our morgue last month.
Morgue?
About time! Come on in.
Leave it by the sink, would you?
Damn it! You're not the delivery guy.
Ryudo!
Is that you?
It's been a while, Shinkai.
It sure has!
So, who did you piss off this time?
Only the editor-in-chief.
Turned me into a mole down here in the sub-basement...
way below the mail room.
At least I'm still on the payroll.
And you? How goes it?
Me?
Are you getting along with the academy's chairman?
Well, more or less.
You've always been a bad liar.
So what brings here? You want tips on how NOT to succeed?
Delivery! One hot noodle soup!
Thanks a lot!
I'll just leave it right here.
Thanks! Call us again!
Juhei Furuta?
Oh, yeah, that congressman who skipped the country?
I suspect that there's someone else behind Furuta...
someone who's a major force in Japan's political fnances.
Wait a minute, don't get me into trouble here!
Do you have any idea?
Follow me.
This room is restricted to the likes of department heads and editorial writers...
or someone like me who snatched a copy of the key.
I'll need this one, too.
Well, that should do it.
Here it is. This is it.
I think this is your man.
Tadayoshi Funazu?
Also known as " His Highness in Kamakura."
Publicly, he calls himself a philosopher and educator.
But in reality, he controls Japanese politics from behind the scenes.
This guy's a real power broker.
This picture was taken in his youth, when he was a lieutenant in the army.
His political life began in wartime China.
While commanding a special service unit in Manchuria...
he launched a relentless pillaging campaign...
stealing military supplies from his own army and seizing the locals'possessions.
After the war, he returned to Japan and used the enormous wealth...
he had amassed to buy influences in political and fnancial circles.
Hell, if he felt like it, he could topple the Prime Minister.
The bigwig in Kamakura... Do you have any recent pictures?
Recent pictures?
He must be well into his nineties by now.
This one's 10 years old, and not very good, but the only one I have.
Look, here's Furuta.
And this is the Deputy Cabinet Secretary, Kengo Takabayashi.
He sucked up to His Highness and is fast climbing the political ladder.
Takabayashi...
He's probably the closest to the old man right now.
So Hajime visited the People's Daily, did he?
He's talking to a Kyowa University alumnus...
a former political reporter.
Hajime knows I exist. Now he's trying to fnd out who I am.
Ryudo's grandchildren are pretty smart, I see.
What shall we do?
Nothing. I'm letting Takabayashi handle the brothers.
Very well.
Owaru! Turn down the volume! You're bothering the neighbors!
Hey, bro. You just don't have any taste!
Hey!
The gas went out!
I can't cook!
Owaru! Please call the utility companies!
AUTOMATIC TELLER
What's going on? Why aren't the lights on?
Did they all go somewhere?
I can't believe they left the front door unlocked!
Welcome home.
No power, no gas, no water... all at the same time, huh?
I tried getting them on the phone, but...
The phones were out, too?
I wonder if this is harassment... by someone.
The teller machine rejected my ATM card.
I had the bank look into the matter.
They told me there was no account associated with my name.
Wait a second! I've got all my savings in that bank!
Me, too!
Your accounts have vanished, too. I had them check all our accounts.
What?
Oh, no, Mr. Ryudo! Did you lose your wallet or something?
Yes, something like that. I promise to pay it all back next month.
Please, Mr. Ryudo. You don't have to worry about that.
Plenty of teachers need an advance now and then.
So, how much will you need?
Well... I think $500 should do it.
Certainly, Mr. Ryudo.
Oh? That's odd.
I don't understand it.
I don't see your name on the faculty list.
Goodness! It says you were let go yesterday.
What?
What's the meaning of this?
That's what I'd like to know!
How is it that I'm supposed to have been dismissed yesterday?
You resigned from the board.
And I thought maybe you should quit teaching, too.
What? That makes no sense!
Well, I've had complaints about your classes.
You had a bad reputation among the students...
who are applying for the major universities.
They said your classes don't help them.
So you fred me.
That's it! Exactly! You're fred!
I get it now. Obviously, you didn't make this decision yourself.
What are you talking about?
Nothing. Never mind.
Uncle...
don't forget that I have certain rights with respect to the Kyowa Academy.
We'll discuss this at a later date.
Well done. Mr. Takabayashi will make it worth your while.
Yes. Thank you!
What are you doing here? Classes started long ago.
When I went to class, my desk was gone.
What did you say?
Imagine that! They think we were transferred yesterday.
Isn't it great? We don't have to go to school anymore!
Speak for yourself!
Where's Tsuzuku? What happened to him?
In violation of various school regulations...
including lewd conduct with the opposite sex...
I was expelled from the university as of yesterday.
Good-bye and good luck.
I see. My thinking on this was too optimistic.
Obviously it's more serious.
Yes. Obviously, this is a deliberate attack on the four of us.
Sorry, Mr. Piggy!
Hajime, please put this to good use.
Hajime!
Don't say I never help out in a crisis! Here's my donation!
But those are all pennies...
Hajime, I stopped by the borough hall on my way back from school.
And guess what. All our residency certifcates are gone...
and there's no forwarding address, they says.
Oh, well. I thought you might have found our death certifcates.
Bad news. Our money will barely last us till the end of the month.
So what's your guess? Who would stoop so low?
We'll just have to wait for his next move.
You have a suspect then?
I have an idea.
Wait! Who the hell are you people?
I want an explanation!
Who's in charge here? I wanna speak to your boss!
Step aside. You're holding up construction!
What construction?
Sister, does it look like we're baking a cake here?
Hey, that's a good one!
Good morning, boys.
Good morning, Matsuri.
How's it going?
Bonjour, Mademoiselle.
Who's picking on Matsuri?
These men... they want to bulldoze your house.
Who the hell are you?
We're the owners.
Owners? Bullshit! This land changed hands yesterday!
I've got the deed right here!
This property now belongs to Takabayashi Realty. See the offcial seal?
Takabayashi?
Okay, men! Get to work!
Let's smash this wreck so we can build some condos!
May I borrow this a moment?
All right! M-m-maybe you need a little more time, huh?
I give you one day to clear out. You'd better be gone by tomorrow!
Their bank accounts are frozen, their offcial records destroyed...
the house and property transferred to a different holder, the driver's license...
Enough! I'm tired of his cheap tricks.
So boringly typical of the cut-throat bureaucrat like him.
I don't have time for useless morons!
Tell me, Narushima. How long have you been with me?
I've served you for over 38 years, sir.
I may need your assistance in this matter.
I understand, sir.
Everyone has a right to live a healthy and civilized life!
Matsuri, the sweet potato is done.
A civilized life isn't always healthy.
I don't mind a change of pace once in a while.
Have your forgotten that you're broke, too?
How can you guys be so laid back about everything?
Don't worry. I'm off to fnd work.
Wait, Hajime!
You don't have to worry about money.
I may not look it, but I'm pretty rich.
I've got plenty in my long-term savings. I'll withdraw it all later.
Thank you, Matsuri. But it isn't just about the money.
Someone is trying to ostracize us from society.
It's rather complicated.
There's someone I'd like to talk to about all this.
I'm off.
Hajime, if anyone else comes by, what should we do?
Chase them away.
Roger!
Men approaching target.
Initiating plan.
What are you doing?
Shut up! Police!
Aren't we going to the police station?
Shut up!
Get out! We're going to interrogate you here.
I thought I asked you to be gentle.
Sorry. My men are mostly former cops and riot squad troops...
with some military veterans thrown in, too.
You should think hard before you do anything.
Insurance fraud, murder, you name it...
I'll have you charged with a crime and hand you over to the police.
Kengo Takabayashi, the Deputy Cabinet Secretary.
Oh? You know who I am? Good, that makes this easier.
This is a small part of your allowance.
My allowance?
Exactly... You and your brothers will be in my custody from now on.
I see. It's a carrot-and-stick tactic.
I'd expect that from politicians like you who hide behind state power.
But don't you think you're being a bit too presumptuous?
True, Japan is an authoritarian nation posing as a democracy.
You think you can control the public.
But isn't there anything beyond your control?
Of course not.
Well, I beg to differ. To prove my point...
here's ONE ordinary high school teacher you're not going to control!
Corruption breeds corruption.
Your power only talks to the power-hungry.
Narahara!
Attack!
That's enough!
Eldest of the Ryudo family, please cease your aggression.
You'll only tarnish your family's honor with their flthy blood on your hands.
Hajime Ryudo, eldest son, I've come to request a favor from you.
I am Jokichi Narushima, the steward to the Funazu family.
I am here under the orders of my master, Tadayoshi Funazu.
He has asked me to escort you to his mansion in Kamakura.
What if I say 'no'? ...Will you kill me?
No. I would be the one to blame for it.
I would have to perform an act of apology in this very place.
Wait!
I have one condition.
Whatever you wish.
No one touches my brothers.
At least until my business with your master is fnished.
I accept your condition.
Narushima!
Narushima, why? If I understand correctly...
His Highness has left me in control of the Ryudo operation!
That is not for me to say.
My master does not explain himself to me. I am just a servant.
You'll have to take that up with my master yourself.
Please, I must ask you to wait here.
It's Takabayashi! I have an emergency! I must see His Highness!
Hajime Ryudo has arrived safely and awaits your pleasure.
Uh-huh.
And Mr. Takabayashi requests an unscheduled audience.
The wretched loser!
Your Highness! Why, sir? Why did you intervene?
My plan for the Ryudo brothers was moving right along!
Why, the success was a matter of time!
Success?
Takabayashi, every person has his skills.
Sir?
I've seen all of yours. And that's enough.
Those four brothers are in a class all by themselves.
Your routine tactics simply won't do. I'm relieving you.
Please, sir! Anything but that! Just give me one more chance!
Congressman Furuta and his son...
I let them get to as far as Singapore and had them killed.
Of course, their bodies will never be found or identifed.
Apparently, they burned their bodies and threw the ashes in the sea.
Your Highness!
Leave! I'll permit you to serve out your term as Deputy Cabinet Secretary.
Your Highness!
Be grateful that I've spared your life!
This is my private meditation room.
You are the frst visitor ever to see this.
That is to say, you're not an ordinary guest.
You might be the most important visitor that I have ever received.
I'm pleased to have you, Hajime Ryudo. I am Tadayoshi Funazu.
First, allow me to offer you and your brothers a gift.
I've broken the siege that Takabayashi placed on you.
Your bank accounts, real estate, and anything else...
that were taken from you will be properly restored by this evening.
That's hardly a gift. Takabayashi was working for you.
You bear a striking resemblance!
You mean, I remind you of my grandfather, Tsukasa Ryudo?
You knew our grandfather, didn't you?
Tadayoshi Funazu... hearing your name reminded me.
You had sent condolence money to my grandfather's funeral.
We were once very close friends.
You say you're a "friend" of Grandfather's, and yet...
at the same time, you're trying to terrorize his grandchildren. Why?
Go on. Drink with me.
We have a saying in our family: Only drink with those you trust.
You see, there's a rather long story that precedes my interest in your family.
Oh... where should I begin?
Well, perhaps with the tale of Dragon Springs.
Dragon Springs?
During the war against China...
your grandfather set off on a journey far up the Yellow River.
He walked from Luoyang to Changan and then farther west.
The journey lasted over a year.
Finally, he came to a village that wasn't on any map.
It was the village of Dragon Springs, a place only heard of in a legend.
Despite being an enemy soldier...
your grandfather was greeted warmly by the villagers.
After all, his ancestors had come from that village.
And Tsukasa Ryudo had become the frst offspring...
to come home after 3,000 years' absence.
The people allowed him to stay at Dragon Springs for 117 days.
He spent his time reading ancient scrolls and listening to village elders.
You seem to be very familiar with the details. Why is that?
Your grandfather had a companion in his travels.
In other words, you.
That's exactly right.
I had a great interest in the ancient secrets of your family.
Ancient secrets?
I'm not sure if you're aware of this...
but at one time, your family's surname had been "Go."
Go?
The name belongs to the Dragon Kings.
All across Chinese legends, the Dragon King shares that same name.
Dragon King?
I worked like a dog in school and in the Ministry of Trade.
I fought hard to earn the recognition of His Highness.
I started out as governor, and then became a member in both Houses.
I eliminated hundreds of rivals to get where I am!
I'll be damned if I take a fall!
I won't step down, damn it!
You wouldn't have ANY security contracts if it wasn't for me!
I can understand how you feel, sir...
What did you say? How could an ex-cop possibly understand me?
I've got to get back on his good side somehow!
If I don't, I'm fnished!
All right!
This is great! Man, how I love civilization!
Amaru, come on out. I'll give you a shampoo!
No way. You're too rough!
I can't believe it! Suddenly all the utilities are back on again.
Tell me, are you sure someone was plotting against you?
I mean, maybe it was some sort of computer glitch...
or a mechanical error or something.
A computer glitch changing signatures on a property deed? That's impossible.
I guess you have a point there. Oh, hey!
Did you check out the deed as well?
Sure. Our bank accounts are back, too. And the academy called to apologize...
for what they called an "administrative error."
Matsuri! The water's great! You want the next bath?
Well, I guess I'll be heading home now.
I wonder if something's happened to Hajime.
No word since he left at noon.
You think something happened?
Don't be silly. How could anything happen to him?
Owaru, please take care of Matsuri.
You're descended from dragons.
Amaru, take care of Matsuri, will you?
Sure.
We got no chance! All my men will be permanently crippled.
That's enough! It's over! Tell them to retreat!
Yes, sir!
No! You can't pull them back!
I have to catch at least one of the brothers!
I need something to give to His Highness!
I'm sorry, sir, but I have to protect my company.
You ungrateful little bastard!
Gee, I expected more of a fght from them.
Damn! If I get sick, it's YOUR fault!
Oh, well.
Don't move, or the next bullet goes in your head!
Just do as I say!
What are you blabbering about, you old fart?
I'm the Deputy Cabinet Secretary...
Hey, Tsuzuku, I just thought of something.
Maybe he can tell us where Hajime is.
That occurred to me, too.
I don't know what you're talking about. I know nothing!
Just in case Hajime came back frst, I held the fort.
The three of them headed for Kamakura...
where Hajime was supposedly visiting His Highness at his mansion.
You just gotta admire their so-called brotherly love.
Dragons?
That's right. Dragons.
There, in Dragon Springs...
your grandfather learned that he was the 115th descendant of a Dragon King.
That makes you brothers...
Tsukasa Ryudo's grandsons, the 117 th generation.
The frst generation of Dragon Kings are said to have not been humans...
but literally dragons.
You're descended from dragons.
I have no time for your delusions.
I think you personally had some notions about what was going on.
You don't possibly think you're just a normal human being, do you?
Have you heard of the term "Four Sisters"?
Four Sisters?
The four greatest American corporations that control the States,
and consequently the rest of the free world.
I've never heard of them.
It's not a fgment of my imagination. They have agents all around the world.
Since the end of the war, the Four Sisters have made many attempts...
to control Japan's economy.
But every one of those attempts was met with obstacles and failed.
No, I made them fail.
But now that I'm in my nineties...
I'm beginning to feel some concern for the future.
That's why I'd like you and your brothers to lend us your power.
Your extraordinary powers should be used to protect Japan's true independence!
Protect Japan? Sounds like you want to protect yourself.
I heard you pillaged and plundered the Chinese...
and committed brutal massacres during the war.
True independence? I can't believe those are your words!
I'm appealing to your patriotism and your love of your motherland. That's all.
Love? Patriotism? You can't use those concepts to manipulate me.
And I certainly won't take that from a fascist like you!
Pardon me. That was another lesson my grandfather taught me.
I wonder if you know the true meaning of "authority."
It's a power that enables you to execute an innocent man as if he were a criminal...
without allowing him a single word in his own defense.
What'll we do?
We'll have to stop them. Alert His Highness immediately.
Your ancestor wasn't just any dragon.
He was the legendary Dragon King of the Four Seas.
He is the one who, eons ago...
killed the King of Yin, and rescued King Wu-wang.
Legend says that there once lived the Dragon Emperor...
who cast his four children in the Four Seas to create the Dragon Kings.
First was the Blue Dragon of the East Sea.
The second was the Red Dragon of the South Sea.
Third was the White Dragon of the West Sea.
And fourth was the Black Dragon of the North Sea.
The four Dragon Kings transformed themselves into human form.
And they occupied the land between the midland and kunlun...
where they conducted their religious rites.
In other words, the four dragons changed into humans...
built their kingdom at the head of the Yellow River...
deep in the backwoods of China, and ruled their people.
And that was Dragon Springs?
The ancient scrolls we found in Dragon Springs held the following prophecy:
In 3,000 years, the Dragon Kings will rise once again to reclaim their dragon form.
This is the year 3,000.
You and your brothers will become dragons.
And do you really believe this ridiculous legend?
Sure, I believe it! And the more I come to know you, the more I believe!
I used those imbeciles, Furuta and Takabayashi...
strictly to draw your powers.
I know why you came here. You accepted my invitation...
because you wanted to know your real identity... Am I wrong?
Allow me to reveal your true form!
A passenger train should be here any minute to pass this bridge.
If your brothers are truly dragons, they cannot die.
Far from it, they'll transform into dragons and bless us with their graceful presence.
You promised to leave my brothers alone!
What are you talking about? I made no such promise.
Your Highness.
I regret to inform you, sir, that I did make such a promise.
Then you must dutifully apologize to my guest.
Very well, sir. As you say.
Don't!
It looks like the train is almost here.
You bastard!
If you weren't such a pathetic old man, I'd break your neck right here and now!
Dragons are said to possess the ability to locate their flesh and blood.
What a wonderful instinct.
Sir! About Deputy Cabinet Secretary Takabayashi...
What should be done with him?
Takabayashi? The name sounds vaguely familiar.
Get rid of him any way you want.
Hajime, about that legend...
The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas? It's his dementia talking.
Maybe so. But I think you believe it... don't you?
I wonder.
Just look at them sleep: Mr. White Dragon of the West...
and Mr. Black Dragon of the North...
Get me the Superintendent General and the Minister of Defense.
Yes, sir!
I might run the risk of being excessive...
but I think I'd like to provide the brothers with a worthy challenge this time.
My dearest love...
