Rick and Morty: The Anime

-It should be easy for you, right, Rick?

Just turn my dad into a superhero.

Like from a comic book.

Jerry? A superhero. Sure.

He's going to need some training.

-Hmm? -Training?

Oh, I'd love that.

-Just the thought of it makes me laugh.

-Tell you what, I'll consider doing it

when the world is in danger

and there's literally no one else around to save it.

-Listen, I would totally become a superhero

to keep our family safe.

-Yeah, Dad, that would be cool.

But I don't know if you'll ever get the chance.

-Jerry, if you really want to keep the family safe,

then you should find a job.

Hmm.

Come out, Rick Sanchez!

Rick Sanchez!

Rise and shine.

Who are you?

Another version of you.

I think it was this sword that summoned me here.

Hello! Anybody home?

Rick --

Hm.

Looks like Rick isn't home right now.

-This is Jerry's space berry cake,

my very own creation. Bon appétit.

Thank you. Looks yummy.

-I'm Jerry Smith, and I am Rick Sanchez's son-in-law.

-I am also Jerry. This man is me, and I am him.

Mm-hmm.

-Well, what are you waiting for?

It's not Rick you're after,

but this sword, isn't that right?

-Ah! -What kind of secrets does it hold?

You're not the first one to come after it today.

-Huh? -It happened while you were napping.

-None of them would answer my questions,

so I just tested the sword out on your friends instead.

Guess what. You're gonna be my next test subject.

-I am Mr. Nimbus, King of the Ocean.

Hey, Mr. Nimbus.

-What business do you have here, Jerry Smith?

-Your lackey spilled the beans after we threatened him.

-This dude is nuts. -Who is this beast?

-I am also known as Jerry Smith.

Hmm.

Making everything needlessly complicated

is one of Richard's specialties.

-Rick isn't here, and starting today, I'm the king of the land.

-So a moron like you wants to forge a treaty with me?

-How would you like a taste of this instead?

-I'll admit, that thing seems like a real nuisance.

But Richard is the only one who can make treaties with me.

I have literally no interest in that ridiculous sword.

-Then why sacrifice so many of your minions trying to get it?

-Eh! I have no desire to be caught in someone else's war.

I was trying to eliminate a source of trouble.

-What trouble? -That sword was stolen,

and now its owners are coming for it.

Do me a favor. Keep the fighting on land.

-Exactly what kind of power does this sword have?

Unbelievable!

You stole that thing without knowing what it does,

Jerry Smith.

If it isn't Jerry Smith.

Who the hell are you?

-People who know call me Jerry Smith.

You had best remember that.

I've come to claim the sword of Mikado no Mikoto.

-So the gang fell apart and split into two factions

as soon as I got put into the slammer.

My apologies, sir.

The Roughnecks got their hands on the sword.

You needn't worry about that.

I reached out to a man who'll get it back.

All by yourself? Really?

-Rest assured, I'll get the job done.

Sorry. You would just get in the way.

Mm?

-You truly are a man of legend, Jerry Smith.

Hmm.

Hmph.

-The Roughnecks have just departed for America.

Hmm.

My goodness.

Sire! -Huh?

Behold!

The gods were gracious enough

to lend us their power after all.

We were right to have faith.

We are truly blessed.

Weak-minded buffoons.

They locked their fighting spirit away.

Breaking the seal on that stupid sword

will unleash a swirling mass of dark energy.

So hurry and get the hell out of my territory!

Hark, Jerrys!

I control the police and can sink everything into the ocean.

Pardon, sire,

but may I ask where the Sword of Sealing is now?

Who knows?

It's with Rick Sanchez, who will surely take care of it for us.

-Space Mom really saved our butts.

Thanks, Space Mom. -Absolutely.

-God, I wish we had two versions of dad around.

-Wait a minute. Where's dad?

-Oh, crap. Maybe he's in the garage.

He probably doesn't realize Rick is back home.

-What the hell? He better not be

going through my stuff! Son of a bitch!

Aw, crap.

I totally forgot about stashing that sword in here.

W-W-What's the matter, Rick?

Where's Dad?

-Great. There couldn't be a worse time to get a call

from this prick.

-Richard. -Yeah, yeah,

I know what you're calling to bitch about.

Listen, I'll make sure it won't cause any problems for you.

-Hmm. Looks good on you. And I'm not just being nice.

-Gee, I think you have the better body for this suit.

-Don't forget, I am you, Jerry Smith.

I don't, but you have a family to care for.

Only you have what it takes to unleash the power of this sword.

So you should wield it. We are stronger than you think.

Ugh.

Come on, come on, come on.

That figures.

I really screwed the pooch by not seeing this coming.

-Where's Dad? What's going on?

-Just relax. We're gonna go get him right now.
