BBK/BRNK (ブブキ・ブランキ)

Ten years ago,

just hours before Oubu landed in the ocean...

A national state of emergency has been declared.

Citizens, please give heed to all announcements from the government,

and obey the evacuation instructions of your local police.

Mejiro Station

Currently, No Casualties - Massive object from outer space to crash into capital.

The massive object was seen falling from space in eight locations.

Ohta Ward, Toshima Ward,

Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo

State of Emergency Declared

Chiyoda Ward, Shinjuku Ward, and Sumida Ward,

Its immense power

gave rise to fear.

The Buranki that defeated all the others

was no hero.

That was the day...

Reoko and Entei's reign of terror began.

Bubuki/Buranki

Oh, yeah... I haven't really heard all of your names yet.

Huh? If you're gonna ask people's names, give your own first.

Sorry...

I'm Kazuki Azuma.

It's written with the characters for "one hope" and "east."

I'm Kinoa... Ougi Kinoa.

This is...

I am a Shizuru. As yet I have no name.

Taneome Shizuru.

Meow, meow.

Nice to meet you.

What's nice about it?

Do you understand the situation we're in?

Kazuki Migiwa is dead.

We worked so hard to get our hands on Oubu,

and now there's no point in going to the Buranki nest anymore...

She's not dead.

What?

My mom is not dead.

What are you basing that on?

That girl said one Buranki fell.

If my mom was dead, there would be a lot more than one.

I get it! That's true!

They might come falling down any time now.

Look, first off, are you really gonna believe Reoko?

W-Well...

Her name was Reoko?

Banryuu Reoko.

She is our real enemy,

and an actual witch.

An actual witch?

A-chan! We're here! This is it!

A station?

Yeah! There's someone here who can help us!

Help us? I dunno about that.

There you go again, Hii-kun!

We can finally catch our breaths.

And I'm so hungry, I can barely walk.

Come on, let's go.

Hi hi, Horino-san!

Oh...

You made it back alive.

You took so long, I thought you'd been killed.

Well, a lot of things happened that we weren't counting on.

And what about Oubu?

We got it!

Good work, good work.

Are you Azuma-kun?

I'm Horino.

Whoa!

Yes... I'm glad you all met up with him as planned.

We couldn't beat Reoko, though.

Don't get greedy.

It's more than enough that you all made it back alive from a battle with Entei.

Entei...

You mean that red Buranki?

Yep. Entei fell down to this world long ago, just like Oubu.

You saw lots of them in the Buranki nest when you were little, didn't you?

Treasure Island...

Huh?

My mother called that place "Treasure Island."

The Buranki nest is Treasure Island, eh?

I just don't get how geniuses think.

Well, no matter.

What sort of person is the genius's son, I wonder?

Those aren't the eyes of an activist or militant.

But there's...

What is it?

Something even deeper in this boy.

We've rested enough!

We need to take off for the Buranki nest!

Aw, we're leaving already?

We can't afford to dilly-dally around here!

Why are you in such a hurry?

You could take it easy just for today.

No, thanks.

Hanging around someone who ran from battle will rot me, too.

Hii-kun, that's mean!

Horino-san is still an activist... for loco moco bowls!

For a secret menu?!

You mean "anti-government"! All those have in common is the "m"!

I'm so hungry, I couldn't help it!

Oh, it's fine. He's right that I left the battle.

And that's why I can't stand that part of you.

Horino-san, I'm borrowing your kitchen.

Kinoa! What are you doing?!

What am I doing? What does it look like?

One,

I'm so hungry, everything's pissing me off!

two,

Get in my way and I'll beat your ass!

three...

I can't let her beat me!

Horirin, where's your miso?

I don't have any miso. I don't eat miso soup.

What? Oh, all right... I guess I'll use sugar instead.

You're all so...

Fine, do whatever!

No delicacy at all. Did a man cook this or what?

Don't eat it, then.

I never said I didn't want any.

Let's dig in!

Delicious!

Well? How is it?

Damn it... It's good.

Oh, Shizuru, I promised I'd let you eat lots of grass, didn't I?

Here! My special menu item: grass bowl with extra cilantro!

It's like a mountain of grass!

Okay, once we've eaten and rested,

we'll take off before dawn.

Okay, fine, Leader.

It might not make sense to you since you ran off overseas,

but this country has been ruled

from the shadows by the fear of Entei for the last ten years.

Ten years?

No one can defy Reoko, nor do they try to.

But there is a way to defeat her and Entei.

We just have to bring Migiwa back from the Buranki nest and have her fight Reoko.

Kazuki Migiwa has beaten Reoko before.

My mom beat Reoko?

Is that true, Horirin?

Yes, before all of you were born.

Azuma, I'm going to show you something you'll like.

You need to know more about your mother, the Buranki, and Reoko.

Do you think you could help us out a little?

Unlike you, we've got a quota to meet.

Ah, there's no time. There's just no time.

Damned dog of Reoko...

I may be a dog, but I'm a clever, ferocious guard dog.

Should be any time now...

Ah, yeah, we've got him.

Hey, what are you doing? He's getting away!

A Bubuki!

It was in stealth mode?

Now you've met your quota.

We've got an unregistered one!

Get the officer on duty to the location and restrain the suspect!

It's a damn tough world for a Bubuki user to live in.

Hey!

How did you find it?

The Bubuki was in stealth mode.

There are all kinds of ways to identify a Bubuki user.

Want to know them?

Yes, please tell me.

Who, me?

I don't think so.

I see, I see.

So that's where you're hiding.

Just wait right there, kitten.

Episode 3 Heart and Limbs

So Righty-chan's real name is Raijoudou?

Sounds way too snooty, right?

Does it look like a Raijoudou?

An ancestor of mine gave it that name a long, long time ago.

A long, long time ago?
