Hamatora The Animation 2nd Season (Re: Hamatora)

Hmph.

Reserved Today: Memorial Service for Nice-Kun

Stare...

You shouldn't eat offerings.

It's okay.

He'd be okay with it if it's Hajime.

Murasaki-san.

What would you like?

Huh?

Then...

I'll have what he's having.

Three months have passed since Moral instigated the Minimum Holder Riots.

The riots have died down

and the Yokohama citizens can

be said to have regained their normal, everyday routines.

The in-depth coverage of Nice's actions,

as well as the help provided by Honey and others to many,

Died in Hospital.

served to quell the rampant discrimination against Minimum Holders.

I'll take all the porn DVDs at Nice's place.

I bet Nice'd like them to be put to good use.

Don't, Birthday.

You should be more respectful of his memory.

Huh? Wait, he had things like that?

Of course he would.

He would.

Of course.

So he would...

Stop!

You'd be desecrating the dead!

I will not let you reveal Nice's DVDs!

I will protect his honor.

So his porn DVDs are his honor?

What's with you?

You know what Nice would have wanted, Three?

He'd like, at least, his DVDs to live a full life without him.

That's what he might have wanted!

I see.

I get it now.

You're all idiots.

Oh, there you go again!

They were just lying there.

They were put there as an offering!

So what do you think, Natsukawa-san?

3 Months After the Minimum Riots Yokohama Now... The Government's Reaction

What's your take on the Minimum Holders who're all over the news lately?

Well...

I think Minimum Holders are proof that humanity is evolving.

Talent Producer Natsukawa Hitoshi

I think they are noble beings.

We should accord them more respect and treat them better.

And now, there are even those who support

the Minimum Holders based on some convoluted reasoning.

Yokohama

Yokohama Minimum riots Yokohama Minimum problem Yokohama public safety status Yokohama Minimum dangerous Yokohama Minimum unsafe Yokohama person inside Toranker-kun

But it's not easy to overcome a bad rap.

Still, this city's trying to change for the better.

That's what I have to think so that your death wouldn't have been in vain.

Nice...

My pads!

My offering. Drink.

What a waste of cola.

Guys, quit trashing my business!

Hamatora Detective Agency

A stalker?

But it's not like you've seen him, right?

Right, I haven't.

So I bet this stalker has an Invisibility Minimum!

We're getting jobs like this a lot lately.

I'm afraid it'll be like this for a while.

Distrust is a hard thing to get rid of.

In any event,

my request to you is to catch the stalker.

Find the invisible perv and catch him!

We'll take that job.

Who's that girl?

My partner.

Huh?

The Hamatora is a pair of guys—you and some guy named Nice, right?

We've started Hamatora Mark II.

Who knew Hajime'd take Nice's place?

What's this world coming to?

I'm sure she has her reasons.

It's not a bad thing that she's taking initiative.

Sure, we need to live our lives.

Hey, did you know, Ratio-chan?

If you eat and eat and never work,

you'll turn into a cow.

I see.

And if I turn into a cow, I'd be forced to work...

as beef.

Not sure you'd call that work.

Um...

Hm?

Is it recharged yet?

Oh, right. My bad.

Emergency Recharge Available!!

I'll put in extra effort.

Are you serious?!

Explosively Fast!! Blitz

Sorry...

Guess I put in a little too much effort.

You've got to be kidding!

I think I'd rather become a cow...

Why?

I can see 10 minutes into the future!! Feel free to ask for advice! We'll solve all your problems. Free consultation!! Ask for quotes via phone or mail! It's totally accurate! We swear! Just look into these eyes if you have any doubt! Got you!

Why aren't we getting any jobs?

Maybe no one trusts us.

100 yen per 10 minutes

Jeez.

Without our client, Art,

I wanna go on a ride!

we're as good as unemployed.

I'll sing a song, too.

We can't even feed the kids.

Let's ride that moo moo cow over there.

I can fly, too.

On good days.

I think Ratio and Birthday are getting fewer jobs, too.

I wonder if the riots are having a lasting effect.

Minimum

Minimum Hikaru private investigator Minimum Hikaru Light Speed Minimum Minimum Hikaru idol Minimum Hikaru want him Minimum Hikaru Natsukawa Hitoshi Minimum Toranker-kun too?

I guess it's not the only reason.

What's this?

A trap.

This'll lure him in with the delicious smell. He'll definitely be caught.

Don't eat them yourself!

I'll subtract their cost from your pay.

What's this?

Wh-What?

Who's there?!

Show yourself!

I've already scoured this entire area.

There's no one here.

My name is Hikaru.

I'm the Minimum Holder with the Light Speed Minimum.

The Light Speed Minimum?

Man, I just couldn't watch you guys work.

He's amazing.

You can tell?

He didn't go for the burgers.

Be quiet for a second.

You're the Light Speed Minimum Holder, Hikaru-kun?

Hey, um...

So you handled my request.

Hey!

Thank you!

You don't even know if he's telling the truth.

Who cares?!

Hikaru-kun saved me!

What?

Hikaru, the Light Speed Minimum Holder.

He's become a celebrity lately as a problem solver.

He's even branched out as a singer and TV personality.

If he has a stage event, tickets are instantly sold out.

Even his fan club is closed to new applicants unless someone cancels.

I'm Hikaru! Shining catch!

Minimum Holders didn't ask to be who they are.

They are basically victims.

That a star like him has been born from such Minimum Holders...

isn't a coincidence in my book.

I heard all the jobs asking for help with problems

in Yokohama are now going to Hikaru's agency.

A-ha.

So that's why we don't have any jobs.

That's annoying.

The Light Speed Minimum, huh?

What should we do?

Hamatora might as well not even be open for business.

No.

We can't have that.

Hajime...

Is the Hamatora detective agency here?

Er... Do you have a job for us?

Yes, I do.

Let me cut right to the chase.

Do you take hit jobs?

That's my request.

I want you to kill someone...

I'll Shining Catch Your Heart!!

the Light Speed Minimum Holder, Hikaru-kun.

Hamatora

I've spent the 17 years of my life wishing for quiet mornings,

but I can say with conviction that my wish hasn't come true

even half the time.

One thing constantly betrays my desire for a quiet life,

and that is the environment.

Slam!

Hikaru, wake up!

Kotone (Voice Actress: Shimizu Ai)

You'll be late!

Good grief.

Hikaru, there's a test today!

Mio (Voice Actress: Fukui Yukari)

I'm being a good childhood friend,

making you a ton of flash cards to memorize!

Let's study together!

Hey!

I'm the only one who can touch his cowlick!
