The Bat (かうもり)

The Bat.

Supervisor: Chuzo Aoji Animation: Yasuji Murata.

Long, long time ago,

the birds and the beasts were at war.

Fierce battles took place in the fields, mountains...

I am General Long-ear.

You're not my match!

You wish!

I am Warrior Wing-tail!

Better run for now!

I am Swordsman Long-nose.

What a perfect name!

You flat-face!

I am Agent Wing-speed.

Right, earthbound!

The fierce battles went on...

It started over nothing,

and now there seems to be no end.

You insolent muck!

Monkey King!

Neither side giving in,

battles take place everywhere.

Advance!

Natural born enemies, the cat and mouse...

work as a team here.

Ratted him out!

Advance!

I hate this.

It's not in my blood.

You're such a pig!

We're at war!

Can't fight on an empty stomach.

Calm down.

It's better we eat first.

You have a point.

Mmm, yum!

Itchy there.

Amidst this chaos was a wise bat.

They've started again.

Who's leading today?

Flying with birds when they lead.

That was close!

Get me that!

Now attack!

Walking with beasts when they're up.

Oops, no good.

When caught, he talks his way out.

Hold it! You're a bird!

No, I am a beast.

Take a look.

See here.

I am a breed of a mouse.

Really? I see.

That was close.

Hold it! You're a beast!

No, I'm not. I can fly.
