Cretaceous Period: American Continent

Akudarma, how far are you going to chase us?

A 17-Year-Old from the 24th Century: Calen

Persistent, annoying, stubborn, pera!

Talking Parakeet: Peralino

Pico.

Navigation Robot: Picobo

More importantly, what's with this mecha?

"Akudarma" Leader: Bimajo

Why, thank you for asking.

"Akudarma" Mecha Supervisor: Tsubuyakky

It's my handmade

"Bug-Catching-Net Mecha That Can Catch Anything From Rhinoceros Beetles

to Mechabutons in One Swoop," nao.

You're so amazing, Senpai!

"Akudarma" Intern: Suzukky

All right, you two. Take care of them!

Roger dodger!

Time to call in a special guest.

Push the button.

My handmade Bug-Catching Kid Mecha!

Beetle!

We're gonna crush it, nao! Push the button.

We're going to crash-land in some era!

2016?!

Inogashira Park Entrance

Crap! I'm totally late for school!

What the?

Huh?

Seriously?

A 14-Year-Old Who's Very Loose with Time: Tokio

Wh-What was that?!

Cough, cough, pico.

We were totally and utterly defeated, pera.

Wait, why is there a person—

Say your prayers!

Huh?!

Calen! Why did you let this talentless, useless, worthless Neanderthal

Wh-What?

on board, pera?

I didn't have a choice!

Neanderthal?!

Foreign object acquired, pico.

Isn't that a bit rude?!

Hold it!

Now that it's come to this, we'll have to Time Bokan!

Allow me to explain!

This is how Tokio ended up traveling to the 24th century with Time Bokan.

Uh, that's sudden! And you didn't explain anything!

Allow me to explain anyway!

This mecha is Time Bokan Unit 1, Mechabuton.

It is a super-mecha that can cause the time-warping

and time-traveling phenomenon known as "Time Bokan."

What the heck?

Oh, one more thing. You're definitely going to feel the Time Bokan.

Huh?

Time Bokan!

The explosive phenomenon that allows one to travel through space-time into the past.

In the past, a history unlike that in the textbooks,

one that's super hilarious,

the True History, waits for you!

Cleopatra Was Actually a Comedy Duo Known as Cleo and Patra!

"Cleopatra Was Actually a Comedy Duo Known as Cleo and Patra!"

Allow me to explain.

This is the Space-time Administrative Bureau, out in space in the 24th century.

Space-time Administrative Bureau (JKK): Cosmo Garage 24

And their headquarters is called Space Garage 24.

How did you survive the Time Bokan?!

Commander

Huh?!

If you're not wearing a Bokan suit, it can kill you, tee-hee.

Uh, no, not "tee-hee."

Scan complete, pico.

Huh?

What?!

Uh, what?

You have the potential to Time Bokan!

Usually, time-traveling with Time Bokan

affects the human mind and body in various ways.

But you are always late when meeting up with friends!

You're always late to school and don't even care!

You're way too loose with time!

The rules of time amazingly have no hold on you, pera.

And that means, starting today, you are a member of the JKK!

Congratulations!

I have no idea what's going on!

We are the Space-time Administrative Bureau, otherwise known as the JKK.

Space-time Administrative Bureau

How'd you come up with that abbreviation?

Your mission is to find the real history, the True History!

True History

True History?

True History

Recently, Time Bokan technology was developed,

and a handful of people have been able to travel through time.

Among all that, something surprising was discovered in the past.

And that is—

The history written in the textbooks was all a lie!

Hey, that was the best part!

The history written in the textbooks was all a lie?

That's right. In the past lies a history

that's way funnier than the history in the textbooks, known as True History.

That's what we need to find.

But there are those who get in the way of our finding the True History.

Allow me to explain!

Those people are known as Akudarma.

They are actually minions working for the History Paradise Company.

That's the company that writes the history textbook

used throughout the world, History: The Complete Works.

Bimajo-sama, why are we getting in the way of them discovering True History?

14th Storage Department

If they keep finding more True History, it's going to cause trouble for us.

All the history books in the world will have to be rewritten...

By us.

What? Us?!

That's why we get in the way of them discovering True History.

Even if the pay sucks.

Yup, perfect. You look great!

You think so?

Pico?

We got a signal for a new True History, pera.

All right, men!

Get ready to blast off! Let's go, pera!

Hey, that was the best part...

Okay!

What, now?

Off we go!

Isn't there something seriously wrong with my track?!

Please have your Bokan Brace ready...

Pico.

Pera.

Not this again...

Tokio-kun, here.

What's this?

It's the Bokan Key.

Set it in the Bokan Brace on your arm, and start the engine.

I'm doing this?

You can do it, Tokio-kun!

All right. Let's move out!

Scramble.

Mechabuton.

Ignition.

Engine, Vroom Vroom, Full Rotation!

Mechabuton, blast off!

Bokan 01: Mechabuton

Ready, and...

Time...

Bokan!

Did we really need the pose?

Where are we?

Ancient Egypt in 50 BC.

The person of interest here would be the unrivaled beauty, Cleopatra.

D-Do you really need that?

We don't know who we might run into at any time!

More importantly, what we have to find here

is the True History surrounding Cleopatra.

What do you mean?

Take a look at this copy of History: The Complete Works.

Whoa, that's amazing!

So Cleopatra was a queen in this era, Ancient Egypt.

Her most distinguishing trait was that she was said to be an unrivaled beauty.

Beauty?

You reacted to that, pico.

I did not!

She also had a beautiful voice and was said to be an excellent conversationalist.

This is written in the history books from your era, too.

But it's not the real history.

So you mean the True History is different, right?

Yup!

We must find it, witness it, and engrave it in history, pera!

First, let's find Cleopatra.

Okay.

Have fun, pera!

Pico!

Cleopatra...

I wonder how beautiful she is...

A True History signal! Cleopatra must be here.

True History Signal

Huh?

Here!

Ancient Egypt

Comedy Stage

Hello, hello!

Husband and Wife Comedy Duo: Cleo and Patra

Once again, I'm the hottest wife in the desert, Patra.

And this is the coolest husband this side of the Nile, Cleo.

The Nile? Why?

Because you're in de-Nile about how funny I am.

Oh, shut up!

S-So this is Cleopatra...

In True History, Cleopatra is a husband and wife comedy duo, Cleo and Patra!

Seriously?!

Sphinx!

Pyramid!

You suck!

Go home!

The crowd doesn't like them at all...

S-See you next week!
