In the Hero (イン・ザ・ヒーロー)

You can't make it alone.

Oi, Yamato, don't forget me.

I'll help you too.

This is the final battle.

Let's go!

Dragon - Check!

Dragon - Check!

Dragon - Fire!

We will remember this!

We will protect our planet!

We are

the Dragon-Four Fighters!

How was it?

- Good job. - I'll take it off.

I'll take it off.

- Good job. - That was hard work.

Say, why can only Wataru-kun show his face?

It makes me envious.

I'm very sorry.

However,

the colour of a hero is red, isn't it? Red!

A guy in pink like me is no good, huh?

That's just not true.

Delicious!

What's this, what's this?

What a great heart-emoticon!

It's so big!

I always communicate with this heart- emoticon.

With whom?

Not your business.

Leader, Leader,

hurry up and change clothes. Everyone's waiting!

Oi, Wataru!

Matsukata-san, hello.

Are you producing a movie here?

That's right.

- You haven't changed at all. - Thanks.

As usual, it went smoothly?

Today I dealt out some blows again.

I like your moves.

Do your best!

Thank you very much.

- Matsukata-san, hello. - Hello.

Nice to see you.

- Park the car. - Okay.

Well, we barely made it.

Really?

- I can't believe it. - It's true.

Come on!

Let's go!

Come here. Build the formation!

Dragon - Fire!

Quickly! Go! Kick him!

We are Dragon-Four!

Thank you everyone!

Come back tomorrow, okay!

Thank you very much!

Leader!

There was a call from a producer at Toyo TV.

He wants you to call him back.

Outch!

Outch... It's really painful.

It hurts.

Outch...

- Yes? - Hi.

It's me, it's me.

Long time no see.

Yeah. Are you doing fine?

What happened?

Well,

are you sitting in front of the TV right now? Watching Dragon-Four?

No, I'm not watching.

I see.

No, I'm lying. I watch it from time to time.

What's that! So you watch it. I see, I see.

By the way, today I got a call from the producer.

He said they would make a movie of it

and want me to play a new character in this movie.

Really?

I'll be a real actor, not just a stunt actor.

So after a long time my face and name will appear on the screen again.

Is your neck alright?

My neck?

My neck is no problem.

Recently, I feel like my body became young again.

What are you talking?

No, I'm serious.

It's what I always wished for.

I'll do my best.

Next is our pink dragon, Shoko-san.

Pleased to meet you.

All the persons we've introduced so far

are heroes who also appear on the TV show.

But this time we also have a new character,

the black dragon, played by Ichinose Ryo-san.

The black dragon

was originally the red dragon

who has changed over to the dark side.

And then there is our commander, Tachibana Daikichi-san.

Pleased to meet you.

And the evil commander, Matsukura Masumi-san.

Please to meet you.

Well then, Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you very much.

- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much.

And there is

the stunt actor for the red and black dragon, Honjo Wataru-san.

Pleased to meet you.

Pleased to meet you.

Well then, before we continue,

Honjo-san, thanks for your hard work.

It was nice to meet you. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much.

Then, let's start with the beginning of the script.

Director, Director, I have a question...

Thanks for your hard work.

Thanks for your hard work.

Uchiyama-san.

Uchiyama-san. One minute please.

- Thanks for your hard work. - Thanks.

Uchiyama-san, what's that supposed to mean?

I'm very sorry. It was a decision at the top.

But that's not what you told me.

I will most certainly make up for it.

I've really fought for you.

Honjo-san, long time no see.

You seem to be doing fine as always.

Long time no see.

Otani-kun, are you doing well?

- I'm now the papa of two kids. - I see.

You two know each other?

Really, you should have told me earlier!

Actually, he had his debut with our company.

Right now, our Ichinose

is in the audition for a Hollywood production.

For Stanley Chan's next movie.

Stanley Chan?

He's filming in Japan?

If he gets the role, it might be a big promotion.

So if possible,

could you give him some fight training before the shooting begins?

Great idea!

Well, that's alright.

The other members are also here.

Shall I introduce him?

Sure. Please do.

- Ryo-kun! - No...

You were chewing gum earlier, right?

Yes.

Don't chew gum in front of other people.

Is there a problem with that?

You are playing a hero.

If the hero makes masticatory movements with his mouth, the children will see it in their dreams.

Was there a child present?

What I'm talking about is how a hero should behave.

Still, there was no child present.

As I said...

As long as there's no child around, it's no problem, right?

There are even adults with the heart of a child!

You shocked me.

What's this?

Good job.

Don't you know the dragon fighting pose?

Such a guy...

Boss, thank you for your hard work.

Oh, Johan! On the hero show in the amusement park last week

you gave a good performance!

I'm grateful for your words and will do my best to meet your expectations soon.

Close the door.

1... 2...

What is he doing?

That's the green dragon, Morita.

Morita!

Morita!

Hello. You are Ichinose Ryo-kun, right?

In the flesh you look even more handsome than on television.

- Hello. - Hello!

Nice to meet you.

By the way, Ryo-kun,

do you have an insurance?

Insurance?

I mean life insurance, for example. Or health insurance.

You may not have heard,

but you can even insure single parts of your body.

As usual, you're keen to sell insurance, huh?

Misaki-chan.

- Leader! - Yes.

Who is this?

In the upcoming movie he will play the black dragon, Ichinose Ryo-kun.

Isn't that your role?

No, there were some changes.

I will do the stunts for the red and the black dragon.

Hi.

"Hi"?

Was this just now perhaps a greeting?

Yeah.

What's that? A pigeon?

A pigeon...

Really, give me a break!

Why did they decide for such a guy?
