Hamatora The Animation (Hamatora)

Sorry, but I'm fine without one.

Oh?

You don't need to have a right to be friends with anyone.

Even if I don't have a Minimum, Nice is...

Allow me to inform you about what black cosmos means in the language of flowers.

"Jealousy and despair."

Incoming Call Nice (Mobile)

Incoming Call Nice (Mobile)

Ah, silly me.

I do need to apologize to you.

What I said about the cosmos and language of flowers—

I just made that up.

To make amends,

I will tell you something of use to you.

That's...

Ah, it feels nice to do good deeds.

Good night, Inspector Art.

Incoming Call Nice (Mobile)

Art?

Yeah. Sorry, Nice.

I'm busy right now.

Can we talk later?

Art... did something happen?

Nothing at all.

Did that go well?

If I'm not careful and talk too much,

he'll see through me right away.

It is Nice-kun we're talking about.

I can't see him just yet.

I am not yet his equal, you see.

I'll leave that up to you.

Understood.

File 08: The Blood-Soaked Bitter Melon

Hey, Boss.

Can I borrow a towel?

You thinking of taking a bath?

It's for Nice.

I gotta go get him.

Who knows how long he stayed out of the rain?

So it's a good excuse to slack off.

That's not happening!

You have a job!

Hamatora will be going on a business trip.

A business trip?

Yes, to Okinawa!

Okinawa!

Tweet: Hamatora Private Investigations Office We're willing to travel for business!

Huh?

Nice-kun won again?

Theo, you're weak.

Seriously.

Nice-kun is just too strong!

You're not the only passengers on the plane.

Quiet down!

Sorry, Tanaka Murasaki-sensei.

I thought Tanaka Murasaki-sensei had suddenly left,

but then he came back! Lucky us.

His name's still lame.

But good-looking!

But, wait... why'd you come back for the school trip after leaving for so long?

A job in Okinawa just happened to come in.

It was cheaper than paying for our own trip there.

Isn't that something your client would pay?

Sure.

But you get to pocket the difference if you can save money on the trip.

It was Koneko's idea.

Sneaky!

Hamatora's so sneaky!

What kind of a job is it?

Did you know what's been going around lately?

It looks like it tastes sweet.

It's known in these parts as Ideal.

This type of thing is usually an energy drink,

but Ideal is different.

People who take this become unconscious and fall asleep...

...and they never wake up again.

No matter how much you talk to them or try to rouse them,

they continue to sleep on happily.

I wonder if they're having good dreams.

But according to doctors,

Ideal does not contain any active ingredients that'd cause that effect.

I therefore believe it's manifesting its effects through some special mechanism.

I work at the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare.

I've heard of mysterious powers beyond human understanding.

From the way you talk, I bet you know a lot about us already.

I want you, Hamatora,

to bring the man manufacturing Ideal in Okinawa to me.

You want us to hand him to you, and not the police?

Correct.

The man producing Ideal, Hiiragi Shuuichi...

...is my older brother.

2014 Okinawa

Wow! The sea's so beautiful!

Look, Rei!

Muscles!

Look at those muscles!

What? Say it!

What's with that pitying look?!

Watch it!

Welcome!

Welcome!

Huh?

You guys are from Yokohama-bane High School, aren't you?

Don't come barging into our territory to play without our permission!

Huh?

What's with the cheesy lines taken right out of a bad manga villain?

The sea belong to no one—

That's a bitter melon!

That's cruel!

How can you hit anyone with that as a weapon?!

I don't like you guys!

What's with Yokohama, anyway?!

You're small.

All you have is a polluted ocean,

yet you call yourselves a bay (hama)!

Right, guys?

Okinawa Rail!

What?!

That's why you're picking a fight with us?

Small-minded.

Yeah!

What'd you say?!

Please stop the violence!

Using violence just because you don't like someone?

You guys suck!

Oh?

Then let's fight fair and square.

Fight?

Tomorrow, there will be the Explosive Triathlon,

which is famous in Okinawa , right here!

How about we choose reps to square off each other?

How about it, guys?!

Okinawa lemon!

Explosive... triathlon?

The losing side will never go near this beach again.

What do you think?

Sure, I'll take you up on that challenge.

Hey, Theo! Are you sure about this?

It'll be fine.

I'm sure we can win this...

...with Nice-kun!

What?

Exclusively Sold in Okinawa Bitter Melon Hamburger Patties SOLD OUT!!

Why me?

Why are all the stores sold out of bitter melon hamburger patties?!

I doubt it's any good...

I'm sure it is!

Hajime-chan asked me to get it.

This is ridiculous.

Let's get back to work and find that dealer.

Well, he probably wouldn't be around here.

Huh?

This is a list of people victimized by the drug within Okinawa prefecture.

And?

You saw this, too, right?

Then you'd know, right?

The dealer won't be here.

Dealers are in shopping districts.

This is the shopping district in Okinawa.

That's not entirely true.

So?

What do you want to know?

Traveling on Business

So information brokers also go on business trips?

The people on the list don't seem to be the shopper type.

So where would people around here go to be alone?

Don't you find school boring?

So many idiots.

Who are you?

Wanna trip out to your own paradise?

Huh?!

Paradise for two, please!

Why'd you think the dealer would be there?

Drugs are usually for people to get high and enjoy reality, right?

But the people on the list don't look to be that type.

If anything, they look like people who'd like to escape reality and go to a dream world.

So I decided to try a ruse,

using Theo's skill at projecting this aura that he's not doing so well at school.

What aura are you talking about?

Where's this aura coming from?

So that's it?

Why are you mad?

I have that?

The correct answer comes so naturally to you.

Can you see it, Nice-kun?

It crushes ordinary people who're trying so hard to think.

What do you mean?

Should I just block my mouth and nose?

There's no meaning...

Then don't say it.

I'd die if I did that!

We're here.

This is...

It seems we were too late.

Toyomigusuku Sangaku High School

Don't move!

I'm going to kill the lot of you!
