Nanbaka - First Season

Give me...

Give me a chance!

Hey! Isn't watching all this heavy story stuff lately exhausting?

Yeah, yeah!

Okay! Then let's wind back the clock

and watch what happened in Cell 13 during Hajime's suspension!

Nanbaka

A Melancholy Day for the Dog, Monkey, and Pheasant

I will be taking over as the supervising officer of Building 13.

I am Kenshirou Yozakura.

What?!

As you all know, Building 13's supervising officer,

Hajime Sugoroku, was issued a three-day suspension.

Therefore, I would like for the three of you to take turns

working as Building 13's supervisor for the next three days.

What?!

What do you mean by that, ma'am?!

Why do we have to cover for Hajime?!

It can't be helped.

Building 13 is already full of troublemakers,

and now there's the incident with Number 15.

Even if it's only for three days,

Hajime Sugoroku's absence is too risky.

Hajime Sugoroku will be absent. Absent! Absent!

The warden is pissed!

It's an order from the warden.

Listen obediently, you two.

Y-You're okay with this?!

Hajime is your rival, isn't he?

I-It's an order from... th-the warden!

He really doesn't like this at all.

Only for three days? Don't freak me out like that.

So Hajime-chan got suspended.

Serves him right, the bastard.

Regarding today's schedule...

Why are Number 11 and Number 69 following Number 25 to his regular check-up?!

Why not? We won't run away.

Hajime always said we can if we're just escorting.

We go as a group sometimes.

It seems Hajime Sugoroku didn't educate his inmates properly.

Though we're missing one today.

Number 15 is not in the infirmary.

He's not hospitalized?

He's receiving treatment in the special medical ward at headquarters.

Visitors are not allowed.

Infirmary

Dr. Otogi.

I brought Inmate Number 25 from Building 13, Cell 13.

Nanba Prison Head Doctor Okina Otogi

Good, just sit there and wait.

It's the good-looking guys who lost to Uno-kun in the tournament!

Right, right. The two that I beat.

Are you trying to pick a fight?!

What are you guys doing in the infirmary?

Our injuries from Hyakunin Isshu in the New Year's Tournament aren't healing well.

Injuries? From Hyakunin Isshu?

See? Right here.

That's tiny!

How many millimeters is that? How many?

Do you even need treatment?

Don't blame us. Kiji-san said to make routine visits until they heal.

Beauty cannot be built in a day!

Wow...

Sounds like something he'd say.

Dr. Okina, give me my medicine, please!

Idiot. Examination comes first.

I need to check for any lingering effects from the tournament.

Lingering effects?

You don't know?

He's a patient that gets "infected" by people.

Gets infected?

Isn't that normal?

Diseases are something you either give to or catch from others.

It's not that simple with this guy.

You saw him at the tournament, didn't you?

He can mimic people regardless of their physical capacities,

muscle strength, or experience.

But it puts a huge strain on his body.

He could even die after using a master-level technique like qigong.

The medications I prescribe prevent him from getting infected by others.

And you forgot to take them! What were you thinking?

Sorry.

So that's how he was able to fight like that.

I hope I never have to fight him.

You guys are still concerned about Number 15?

I told you, he's not here.

Doctor.

Nurse Android KAGU-8 (Kaguya)

I brought the medications.

Kaguya-chan!

Kaguya-san!

Today's medicine is cheap candy flavor.

Kaguya-chan, let's go on a date.

Kaguya-chan, can I put my head on your lap again?

I'd like to do that, too!

Shoo! Shoo! Don't touch Kaguya-san with your dirty hands, you ugly beasts!

Your hand, if you will... Kaguya-san.

Would you like to have afternoon tea with me?

By the way...

What color underwear are you wearing today?

More importantly, what type of underwear are you wearing today?

Jeez, what kind of perverts are you guys?!

Don't lump me in with him!

Hey! Do you not care about Number 15 anymore?!

Today's Hajime-chan Day 1

Jeez, Big Brother.

Why did you bring all this work home?

Nanbaka

I'll be taking over as Building 13's supervising officer today.

I'm Kiji Mitsuba. Nice to see you again.

I'm scared!

Why are you guys crying?!

I came all the way out here to Building 13 for you!

Huh? It's in the same prison, isn't it?

Jyugo, is this prison that big—

Oh, yeah. He's not here.

It kinda feels weird, since he's always with us.

Crap! I can't make any careless comments.

The cell kinda feels bigger now.

I wonder if he's eating right.

I wanna see him up and about soon.

These kids! Friendship between inmates! How beautiful!

I guess this'll do for the time being.

Yay, it's Jyugo-kun!

It's his usual lethargic face, all right.

No sense of aesthetics at all!

Seems like you guys don't know the first thing about this prison.

Then let's learn about the layout of Nanba Prison today, shall we?

Wha?!

No complaining!

First, take a look at this.

What is this feature?!

Nanba Prison is an impregnable prison fortress on a remote island,

floating somewhere in Japanese territorial waters.

Where is this "somewhere" in its territorial waters?

It's huge!

Headquarters

Cool!

In addition to the thirteen prison buildings within its high, thick walls,

there's a general reception area, headquarters research facility,

an arena, a shopping mall, a movie theater, ski slopes, et cetera.

Why would you build those in a prison?! Who's using them?

I wanna go to the movie theater!

The recreational facilities are for officers only.

Are there any markets or farms?

Why would we have those? That's absurd.

But you have ski slopes!

Thirteen

Three

Two

One

Four

Five

Six

Seven

Eight

Nine

Ten

Eleven

Twelve

All the prison buildings are managed by the supervising officers

who have been assigned based on their unique traits.

This is Building 3, and here is Building 13.

It's about a thirty-minute monorail ride between them.

That is far.

So, given the commute time, I had to wake up an hour early.

I couldn't even put my makeup on properly. It's just awful!

That sounds rough.

Yeah.

Well, I hope you all learned something.

Listen!

That hurts! What if you put a scar on my handsome face?!

What handsome face?! Your looks are only worth about...

Points

Nine points.

Points

Ten points.

Points

Two points.

Hey! Why do I only get two points?!

I was being very generous!

You should be grateful.

Then what's your score?!

One hundred points, of course.

So it's two out of a hundred?!

Damn you, you garish bird!

What did you say?!

You braided sack of potatoes!

Don't mock potatoes! I'll boil 'em and shove 'em down your throat!

What? Are you gonna make a fruitcake joke next?

Um...

It's awfully noisy in here. Is something wrong?

If there's anything I can do to help, please tell me.

Champion of the Handsome Men of Nanba Prison Competition

Die right now!

Don't even come into the same frame as me!

But I didn't do anything!

He's even nastier than usual.

Maybe he's stressed out because Jyugo isn't here.
