700 Days of Battle - Us vs. the Police (Boku tachi to chûzai san no 700 nichi sensô) (ぼくたちと駐在さんの700日戦争)

Summer

You think we'll get busted for this?

Not a chance.

We're the wind.

No one can catch us.

Let's do it.

We're friends forever, right?

Yeah.

Bring on our support team!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Pops!

Leave it to us.

Go!

Meet this town's infamous gang of pranksters.

"Faculty Room"

What happened!? Ms. Kyolo!

Are you OK?

Someone over-waxed this floor!

We crave attention, and refuse to waste our precious youth on sports.

Or something like that.

"Barber Hagiwara" "Barber 'Hag'-- "

Got you this time!

Or maybe we're just running from college exams.

Maybe we needed a role model.

Like the guy who stole a motorbike and broke school windows years later.

"Caution: Bears" Like the guy who stole a motorbike and broke school windows years later.

"Caution: Bears"

We may have had deeper reasons, but basically, we just liked pulling pranks.

But it was the arrival of one man that really fueled our passion for mischief.

Halt!

This battle would be the pinnacle of our youth.

1979 would be marked by three major events.

"Monstrous Enemy" 1979 would be marked by three major events.

"Monstrous Enemy"

"Monstrous Enemy" Space invaders...

Standardized college exams...

and...

700 Days of Battle: Us vs. the Police!

Halt!

700 Days of Battle: Us vs. the Police

As wars often do, this one began quietly.

A few days earlier As wars often do, this one began quietly.

A few days earlier

"Radar Speed Gun"

"53 kph"

You there.

Going pretty fast.

What?

"Speeding Violation" The new cop in town decided to mess with one of us.

The new cop in town decided to mess with one of us.

"School suspension" The new cop in town decided to mess with one of us.

The new cop in town decided to mess with one of us.

Damn pig! Who does he think he is?

You can't help picking up speed on that hill.

Setting a speed trap there is totally uncool!

He'll be sorry!

You taking on the law? You'll be arrested for civil disobedience.

You risk suspension.

He's already suspended. What difference does it make?

Further suspension will get him expelled.

So what?

You don't wanna be expelled.

It'd be worth it if that cop gets what he deserves.

Can the radar detect bicycles?

Bicycles? Theoretically speaking... yes.

You can't get ticketed, either. No license.

What do you mean?

We'll call it, "Operation Bicycle: Storm Riders"!

Faster! Faster!

"58 kph"

That was 58, Sir.

Make of the car?

It was... a bicycle.

Woo-hoo!

If you're gonna bust the car, you've got to bust us, too.

It was worth repeating.

He's got to be pretty annoyed by now.

This was genius!

Well, shall we call it a day?

I want to see some panic on his face.

If we all go together, he'll freak.

Here's where we replay the first scene.

There's a lot of them this time.

A lot?

Kids.

Halt!

It's a trap!

He's brought reinforcements!

You guys turn back!

Hold it.

Good work, Sir!

We're on bicycles! Why should we be brought here?

Yeah, let us go!

We were just fleeing from a rampaging bear!

They've been known to run 100 meters in 8 seconds.

Quiet.. "Granny Bike"

Let us go. We've committed no crime.

Then go, already.

Fatso.

Public servants can't say that!

You lousy kids!

I'm so sorry.. Officer. They just won't behave!

Your students, Mr. Terashima...

were intentionally breaking the speed limit for kicks.

Bicycles are vehicles too. You can be fined for speeding on them.

Yes, I know that, Sir.

You do?

Actually, no Sir.

Why lie then?

I'll let it go this time. Instruct them so it doesn't happen again.

Of course.

Salute the officer, boys!

No need for that.

Oh.

Then clear out' boys. Go home.

Wait... not you.

"Granny Bike".

You were under the limit.

Then why'd you bust me?

Then what happened?

"Inoue Clinic"

I don't think that cop will scare very easily.

That makes it all the more fun.

That's the spirit, Inoue. But won't you piss off your dad?

So what? I'm not wasting my youth studying for med school.

What teenager listens to parents, anyway?

Yuko! Can't you learn to knock?

Sorry. Mom told me to bring you cake.

That's so kind!

Swallow what you're eating' first.

Excuse me.

Wow' Yuko just keeps getting cuter and cuter.

That's my sister!

I bet she's graduated from "underpants" to "panties."

Focus on the cop!

That's right.

So... where was I?

Nowhere.

If he can nab us on bicycles, our only option is to try it on foot.

You mean, run?

But the speed gun detects metal. It'll take more than coins to set it off.

What's the plan, Granny Bike?

Next up... "Operation Metal Storm!"

You sure this is going to work, Granny Bike?

You were all for this! No bitching now!

This is no "Metal Storm" It's a street band.

What're they up to now?

Run!

Can't leave well enough alone, eh?

Hold it right there!

This is a $10,000 instrument. Please take good care of it.

I will.

This way.

Wait right here.

'Cuffed for the first time! Woo-hoo!

Nothing to look at here!

Being naughty again, Granny Bike?

Hi, Mika.

I'll uncuff you.

Thanks, but I doubt you can.

It looks like a toy, but you really need a key.

Whoever did this is a meanie.

Ow, ow. ow!

We were on our way to a friend's funeral.

With a wash tub?

It's for washing the cadaver.

And the instruments?

We aim to be musicians, and planned to make it a musical funeral.

He's wearing armor.

It said to dress "formally." This was the best thing in the house.

You do him honor.

Nice homage!

Don't play games with the police.

You think I'm playing here? Stopping traffic violators is serious business.

Loose law enforcement leads to bad public morale in town.

You boys...

You idiots!

I am so sorry for this!

This time, they'll be severely reprimanded!

Will you really, Mr. Terashima?

Granny Bike...

if you were going to play that at the funeral, let's hear it.

Come again?

What're you doing here?

Guys, meet Jaime. He and I went to the same middle school.

How's it going? I'm Jaime.

Why "Jaime"?

Beats me.

What?

I've brought Jaime here to take part in another grand scheme by Granny Bike!

This time, I swear to you... we will put that bastard in his place'.

All right!

You're not supposed to be in here!

Hi, Kazumi. She here for you, Granny Bike?

Kazumi seemed to have a crush on me.

"Mamachari"

Huge!

But I hadn't given her an answer.

No two on a bike.
