File
1: And They Met
The first File
tackles how our two favorite Tokyo Police Officers got paired up. It starts with
Natumi's first day on the job (who is extremely late as usual), Natsumi
pressured by the impression on being late on first day decides to make a couple
of illegal shortcuts (like taking a moto-compo for a ride on a pedestrian
bridge). Naturally she is spotted by Miyuki who happens to be patrolling the
area and thus a chase begins. After all the action, Natsumi Tsujimoto is
presented to the station as Bokuto Station's newest officer since Miyuki
Kobayakawa who was stationed nearly a few weeks ago. Anyway they meet the Fox
and thus starts a heart-pounding first day for the duo.
File 2: Tokyo
Typhoon Rally
It seems the
weather has been rather rough lately nonetheless it seems Miyuki and Natsumi are
settled in and are making a fine team. The trouble starts when a lunatic who
likes to cause chaos with his Delta-Lancia is terrorizing the streets and is
causing accidents everywhere. Aside from that, Miyuki and Natsumi have another
crisis on their hands, its chibi (a small kitten / maybe a cat) is taken ill and
is found to be pregnant. Due to our heroes valiant character, they try to race
the cat to the veterinarian. Unfortunately, on the way to the vet, who else
could have had the best timing to show up, it's the Delta-Lancia! How on earth
can they make it to the vet in time?
File 3: Love's
Highway Stars
This may very
well be my favorite File of the 4 OAVs because it tackles the relationship
between Miyuki and Ken Nakajima. As you may notice in the first two Files, Ken
and Miyuki have certain affections for each other. The File starts when Miyuki
is rumored to have a marriage meeting (and who else would you think would be
spreading this gossip?). In reality, she is only going to a reunion with her
high school friends, Natsumi with nothing else better to do takes Nakajima
biking in order to get to you Miyuki. They eventually don't make it because in
all the confusion they get lost and end up arriving in the early morning
together causing a tremendous scandal, how on earth will the Bokuto Station's
favorite couple get back together again?
File 4: On the
Road Again
It's a typical
day in busting traffic offenders for Miyuki and Natsumi, but what really is
going on in Natsumi's head is her desire of being a white bike trooper (motor
cop). Soon enough her big chance comes when the chief offers her a
recommendation of becoming a white bike trooper. Of course, being a white bike
trooper isn't all that it's cut out to be, she has to leave the station and
transfer to headquarters and this decision would mean leaving Miyuki alone who
really likes Natsumi. Finally after a week's time, she decides to grab the
opportunity leaving Miyuki devastated and not confident in herself
anymore...when's Natsumi coming back?
File 5: The
Beauty, his Name is Aoi
One thing
noticeable with anime is that they usually have a character that is from the
third sex (gay!). Anyway back with the File: There's a new officer stationed in
Bokuto Station, tall, tan, young, lovely and he, YES it's a HE?!? is gay! Woah
not only that, because of his undefined nature problems are brewing whether
which locker and shower room he should be using. Guess it's up to the chief to
sort this whole mess up.
File 6:
Superintendent from Hell
Oh no, prepare
all you delinquent untidy officers of Bokuto Station for today is judgment day,
it's the day superintendent Arizuka, probably the most feared officer in all of
Japan is coming for inspection. He has the reputation of sending
delinquent officers to remote islands, unfortunately for Natsumi she's just had
another of her hang-overs and Bokuto Station is not what you would exactly call
a model station in terms of cleanliness. How the heck are they getting out of
this mess this time, they'll be lucky if they each get sent on a separate island
at the rate they clean up!
File 7:
Strike-Man Appears
This guy
shouldn't really be in this anime, I don't like him. Really sorry if it's a bit
straight but not only is he dense but the most ignorant and misguided fool
you'll ever see. Well this is his debut performance and we get to know the
person called home-run woman! When will Miyuki and Natsumi ever lock this guy
up? He's causing more trouble himself than what he says he's trying to prevent,
not only that but chaos comes when Bokuto Station actually thinks Ken Nakajima
is the Striker, what an insult to Ken of course!
File 8: Lucky
Yoriko's Great Match
Yes, that's
right, the nosey gossip spreader Yoriko is actually lucky. Wow, she was actually
at the top of her class in the academy? It's quite funny really but as the File
goes, Yoriko seems to get lucky at everything from the target practices to the
judo and the final exams, what luck. And now, it's time to meet your match! Chie
Sagamori, a rich spoiled girl who entered police academy to be famous in society
challenges Yoriko to the duel of her life because Yoriko, who topped the academy
was the only one who beat Chie (not to mention her dreams and everything).
File 9: Ken's
Mystery Woman
Uh-oh, Ken's
got a woman of his own and it isn't Miyuki! It starts as Yoriko spots trouble as
Ken is frequently hanging out at a cigarette shop with a cute little owner, the
gang starts investigating and theoretically concludes Ken's going to be
proposing to the saleslady at the rate he's going, How on Earth is Bokuto's
number one couple making it out of this one alive?
File 10:
Opera-Madam's Scooter Crisis!
Here we go,
another annoying useless character is added to the list (with Striker in first
place). This old lady seems to have a thing for shopping, and not just any
ordinary shopping but discount shopping. There's nothing wrong with discounts
unless maybe you drive really recklessly to make it to the sale in time? Thank
God anyway that some guy finally decided to steal her scooter and prevent
anymore innocent lives from harm on the road. Unfortunately, it's going to be
Natsumi and Miyuki's job to find it!
File 11: The
Santa from Hell!
It's Christmas
time in Bokuto and everyone is wishing for Santa to give them happiness,
everyone except the kids that is. Maho's house was robbed one night and who do
you think the main suspect is? Santa Claus! Miyuki and Natsumi have to clear
Santa's name to restore the kids' spirit of Christmas by catching the phony
Santa Claus. To make things worse, Santa Claus Man (Striker) has joined in for
the hunt! Let's hope Christmas is not completely ruined by these chain of
events.
File 12:
Saori's Appearance
There is a new
aspiring officer in town, it's none other than Saori, a misguided soul who feels
worthless and just wants to find her place in the world. After a couple of
experiences with Miyuki and Natsumi, she decides she wants to be an officer.
Unfortunately she does not qualify in terms of age, height and weight but this
won't stop our determined little girl. Let's see what kind of trouble she will
get in to by playing detective.
File 13: Hot springs
Resort
The whole
Traffic Control Department has gone on vacation to a hot springs resort
recommended by Ken Nakajima. This place is just all fun, there is
snowboarding and skiing as well as Hot springs. The officers start to party at
night and eventually get drunk, here's the problem, all their money goes
missing! If they don't find it in time, this will be the biggest scandal in
Bokuto's history. What's more is that it is up to Miyuki and Natsumi to find the
money because they are the only ones sober enough left.
File 14:
Manjou are Scary!
The girls are
able to find a box of untouched manjou in the fridge, they all agree to eat it
at tea time. To everybody's surprise that day, Natsumi was the one who
volunteered to prepare the tea, seems suspicious indeed. Actually, all she
wanted was to eat the manjou all to by herself. She indeed consumes every bite
of manjou until one officer spots her and surprises her, she then falls unconscious.
Thus starts her manjou nightmare back in the Edo period.
File 15:
Chie's Rematch Challenge
It's time once
again to see if Yoriko is as lucky as she really is because here comes Chie with
a vengeance. Chie challenges Yoriko, Natsumi, Aoi and Miyuki to a sort of war
game using paint balls. The objectives are simply to knock either Chie or Yoriko
out, but guess who is on Chie team? The spoiled girl used her money and
influence to recruit female mercenaries from across the globe just to prove that
she is better than Yoriko. Let's see how Yoriko gets out of this one using her
luck.
File 16:
Mystery Biker
One morning,
Miyuki accompanies Natsumi to break-in her new bike. Along the way, Natsumi is
challenged and so the race is on. In a short while, Natsumi loses and the two
girls wonder who this mystery biker is only to realize that he has the same
riding style as Ken Nakajima! The next day, things get to become more and more
weird when news had spread out that Ken has quit the force and became a full
time biker. It was a long day for both Miyuki and Natsumi wanting to get to the
bottom of things and finally they found the guy who holds the key to this whole
mystery, the mystery biker! They chase him and right before they were about to
lose him, Ken shows up and saves the day, he stops the mystery biker by saying
"Stop! I know it's you DAD!"
File 17: Mom's
only 20?
Natsumi and
Miyuki offers to cook dinner for Nakajima for some reason because they say he
does not get enough nutrients, upon arriving at Ken's house they are all
shocked, especially Miyuki, when they saw a young woman (Sena) cleaning the
place up and greeting Ken. They soon find out that he is Ken's soon to be mother
and that she will marry Daimaru (Ken's father) if Ken is able to call her mother
which is not at all appealing to Ken being the bashful person he is. How is Sena
going to get the word mother out of Ken's mouth?
File 18: The
Strike Girls
The Striker is
back and as if one Striker is not enough he has gone recruiting people to join
him, what's more he is recruiting kids! He first finds a group of boys who
immediately shun him away. Still full of it, the Striker meets a couple of
girls, later that day Miyuki and Natsumi get tips of incidents where grade school
boys are being punished publicly, Striker Style! They get really confused
because this is not how the Striker operates, following the pattern of events
they are able to find out who is really doing all these, none other than the
Strike Girls!
File 19:
ZAPPER Retrials
Natsumi is on
the way to the ZAPPER bike shop where Daimaru, Sena, Ken and Miyuki are waiting
to celebrate the opening of Daimaru's new bike shop, on the way she cuts her
clutch wire. After a few kilometers she sees an old bike shop and inside she
meets an old mechanic. The mechanic confiscates her bike and tells her to come
back when she is ready to fix it by herself. They soon find out that he is the
best mechanic in Japan and was Daimaru's mechanic when he was still racing. They
discover that the reason he quit being a professional racing mechanic was
because of a bike that Daimaru crashed and never reached the finish line, that
day Natsumi proves that dreams are always achievable.
File 20:
Sentai Battle!
It's Traffic
Safety Workshop time once again in Bokuto and the officers are practicing for a
presentation to teach basic traffic safety rules to kids. During the show, a
mysterious gang of monsters called the Kuroda Monster Group appears and
sabotaged the whole show. In the end, the girls were able to counter it and beat
up the monsters, the kids enjoyed it thinking it was part of the show and as a
result learned the traffic safety rules.
File 21:
Natsumi & Miyuki: The Bank Robbers!
This is one of
my favorite episodes, it starts with Miyuki and Natsumi robbing a bank, but in
reality they are just part of a Police Training Simulation where they were
specifically requested by Chief Inspector Arizuka to perform a robbery with no
rules, no limitations and no limits! The two were naturally excited and
immediately agreed to the proposal made to them. Since we are talking about
Miyuki and Natsumi here, were not talking of just a simple robbery, were talking
big time! We all know how Miyuki is a mecha-freak and all, so she brings all her
gear along for the job; jammers, sensors, tracers, decoders...you name it, she's
got it. Add Natsumi to all those gadgets and you've got a practically full proof
plan. It's hilarious how the Metro Police's plans are easily thwarted by Miyuki
and Natsumi. This simulation training ends however when the two start to escape
and head for their hide-out (Bokuto Station), will they make it in time and win
the training?
File 22:
Yoriko's Day off
There is a
revolution occurring somewhere in a middle-eastern nation where a prince has
defected and escaped to Japan, suddenly he disappears and the Police are
requested for a search. While back in a small apartment, Yoriko has got her
day-off! She's very excited and has got everything almost planned out. She takes
a walk and meets a guy in trouble of being arrested for not paying his meal, she
notices his good-looks and decides to pay the bill instead. After paying, the
guy suddenly disappears into nowhere, fortunately she runs into him later in the
day. After a long day of touring the guy around they got to know each other, but
later she learns that he is the prince the station is looking for. The prince
decides to go back to his country (thanks to Yoriko) and upon his departure
expresses his feelings for Yoriko.
File 23: Sena
and Daimaru's Wedding
The day has
finally come for Daimaru and Sena to get married, the whole police station is
invited and they are all excited about it. But before the wedding occurs,
Daimaru's friend and Minister of the wedding decides to the some wacky ritual or
tradition where guys would get on motorbikes and balance themselves at speeds of
about 1kph, the winner of this turtle race will get to kiss Sena, the bride.
Unfortunately, Daimaru cannot join because he is the groom so he asks Ken to do
it leaving Miyuki feeling down. In the end, Ken won and got the chance to kiss
the bride but unknown to him and about everybody else, Sena let Miyuki be the
one to kiss Ken in her gown (smart girl!). This is a very lovely episode where
love is truly in the air.
File 24:
Aoi-chan's Romance?
A famous actor
named Go Kitanokoji is made the honorary one-day chief for Bokuto Station and
guess who is requested to be his personal bodyguard...Aoi! The two love birds
met exactly one year ago when Go Kitanokoji was also the one-day chief. I guess
Go fell in love with Aoi because of her "beauty" and her love for
white roses which among most flowers represent respect instead of love. Finally
Go proposes to Aoi who is shocked but just had to tell Go the truth...you know
what I mean.
File 25:
Striker: Strike's Back!
Once again,
the defender of justice is back, the wonder-boy striker!!! We all know this guy
is dense and all, but this time he is the one committing crime instead of
upholding justice as he calls it. Why you ask, well there is this pair of
criminals who trick the striker into robbing a loan company who according to
them are loan-sharks who make people miserable. Anyway, Miyuki and Natsumi are
on the case and have set-up a trap for the Striker in order to lead them to the
mastermind of this foul plot.
File 26: Red
Dress and a Knife
Mr. Tokuno of
the investigation department is asking the help of the traffic department in a
case he is working on regarding a certain maniac who slashes red-dresses during
parties. Naturally the bait would be none other than Aoi who has experience in
these matters. And so the trap is set on a cruise ship where a party is
held. Aoi looks really beautiful while her partner Nakajima is in awe. The
two try to attract attention by dancing while Miyuki, Yoriko, Natsumi and the
Chief are undercover as back-up. After the dance, Aoi goes to the washroom alone
and then a strange man shows up who tries to molest Aoi, unfortunately for him
Aoi is quick on her feet and gives him a good one in between the legs... you
know where that is! Mr. Tokuno goes aboard the ship and arrests the guy and
allows the officers the rest of the night off. Now Miyuki gets dressed and moves
to the party but suddenly a new figure emerges with a knife! It looks like the
guy they arrested a while ago was just a pervert and so Miyuki is faced with the
real maniac alone in the corridor with nowhere to escape.
File 27: ABC
Driving School!
Screech...Vrooom...Aaaahhhh!!!!!
These are the sounds heard from a driving school's obstacle course when a car is
being tested by none other than Natsumi Tsujimoto. Natsumi is applying for a license
to get ready for on the road driving, but the question really is the road ready
for her. Natsumi has been passing her exams despite the fact as Miyuki would say
"she drives a car like she drives a bike!" The instructor is always
terrified out of his wits when driving with Natsumi. At the end of the test he
would faint while carelessly marking the test sheet with a passing grade in
order not to undergo that horrific ordeal once again. On the day Natsumi gets
her final exam which is on the road practice, her ultimate test appears when a
hit-and-run accident occurs and she has to pursue the suspect since she is a
police officer.
File 28: Thief
#704
There is a
thief loose in Tokyo who does not steal from ordinary citizens rather he steals
from senior citizens, what a terrible guy! Anyway, the Traffic Department
has been mobilized to interact with the senior citizens in order to make
them aware of the situation. Unfortunately enough, the thief decided to rob the
same house Miyuki and Natsumi were visiting. However, this thief is prepared and
wears a disguise that looks exactly like the old lady who lives in the house. No
matter what tactic he tries to get rid of Natsumi and Miyuki, he is unsuccessful
and ends up having dinner prepared by the two. Later in the afternoon, Ken
arrives with yet another senior citizen who is an acquaintance of the old lady
who lives in the house, thanks to the incessant chatter of the old lady, Miyuki
realizes that the old lady is a fake and uncovers the disguise.
File 29: The
Battle for Miyuki: Ken's Challenger!
It looks like
our Bokuto Station's longest running couple is facing another situation.
It all starts when Sena asks her cousin to act as a suitor for Miyuki in order
to make Ken move a little quicker in proposing to Miyuki. But when Sena's
Cousin, Okazaki, meets Miyuki he too falls in love and thus starts Ken's rival.
Okazaki makes an offer to race Nakajima, by the way Okazaki is a pro-bike racer.
Whoever wins this race gets Miyuki! The stakes are hot and stage is set, will
Ken be able to defend Miyuki?
File 30:
Department Store Disaster
Miyuki and
Natsumi spend the afternoon shopping and stop by a newly renovated mall with a
mechanical clock doll as their main attraction. Suddenly, while the two were
fitting in some dresses, an anonymous phone call is received saying that there
is a bomb in the mall. The moment the two step out of the fitting room, the mall
is empty! They were shocked and even thought that there was some sort of
unexplainable phenomenon occurring. Finally they ran into Mr. Tokuno who
immediately fills them in on the situation. It's a race against time to find the
bomb which is set to explode at exactly 6:00 p.m. and towards the last few
minutes get an unexpected hand from one of the most annoying characters in the
series, the bargain scooter-lady, expert of every department store in Tokyo.
File 31: The
Mysterious Suitcase
Mr. Tokuno is
busying investigating a bacteria robbery over at the chemical lab, on the
brighter side of things Saori and the kids are out playing a game of finding
lost items and giving it to Miyuki and Natsumi. Saori, walking around the mall
retrieves a suitcase inside an empty phone booth and after giving it to Miyuki
and Natsumi is confronted by the supposed owner. A little later, the kids find a
lost item and discover it was Saori's and also give it to Miyuki and Natsumi.
What sort of mess is Saori into now? Back at Bokuto Station, they receive a
phone call from Saori asking them to meet in the pier alone together with the
suitcase she surrendered earlier. Miyuki gets a little suspicious and tries to
open the case, however to everybody's surprise even Miyuki cannot open the
suitcase?! Something very wrong is happening here!
File 32:
Natsumi's New Supermachine
Natsumi is out
testing her brand new RZ when suddenly she slides and breaks the bike. Miyuki
advices her to instead buy a car which Natsumi seriously gives some thought.
Later that evening, Miyuki sees Natsumi with her very own car, an old Subaru.
Natsumi boasts the car's features like power steering, power clutch, power
windows...power everything when in fact what she really meant was a window that
needed a lot of power and a clutch that needed more power! Realizing Natsumi was
ripped-off, Miyuki tries to cheer her up but no good, Natsumi is disappointed
for a long time. Miyuki, knowing how thoughtful and sweet she is, tries to cheer
Natsumi by giving her the perfect machine using the Subaru and installing the
broken RZ parts into it. Natsumi was surprised and eternally grateful to Miyuki
and they both decide to hunt down the phony car-salesman who tricked Natsumi and
other people into buying junk cars.
File 33: Eeeek!
It's Toki the Idol!
It was a quite
and peaceful day until, help! help! help! Miyuki and Natsumi rush over and see a
girl trapped in a phone booth with a convertible blocking the way. Natsumi uses
her power to manually tow the car away after giving the onlookers a show of
justice which was more likely inspired by too much cop movies. After a few
minutes, the owner of the car arrives and suddenly everybody around Miyuki and
Natsumi go nuts screaming Toki! Miyuki holds Natsumi back while confronting him
to pay the fine for his disobedience to the regulations. Being a movie star and
being full of it, Toki gets the violation ticket and signs it just like an
autograph request. Later, back at the station, the two find out that Toki has no
record whatsoever and that his violations are being erased. However this won't
stop Miyuki and Natsumi from arresting Toki and so they set-up an elaborate trap
to arrest Toki in front of newsmen and all the cameras.
File 34:
Disaster at 250 Meters Part 1
This episode
and the one after are somehow linked to the Taiho Shichauzo
Movie because the event is set at the Tokyo Tower. The Chief is on his
day-off and is at the Tokyo Tower (as explained why in the movie), due to strong
winds the top observation deck is closed for the day. Everyone including the
chief was asked to go down using the elevator when suddenly a woman reports a
pickpocket and therefore a search goes underway. During the search, a suspicious
man is stared at by the Chief who later makes a run for it. Of course the Chief
pursues him but the thief takes hostage one of the employees and uses his keys
to the stairs going up to the roof of the observation deck which was an open
area. The Chief races to save him and is able to do so with a kid helping him
hold the door, unfortunately the strong wind warps the door shut locking the
Chief and the kid outside and the thief inside, safe and sound. Due to the
strong wind, the Chief and the kid try to hold on in order not to be blown away.
The minute Bokuto Station learned about this, they immediately make a sortie and
set-up a temporary camp at a temple right beside the Tokyo Tower. Read next
episode for an detailed analysis of the situation.
File 35:
Disaster at 250 Meters Part 2
Here is the
scenario from the last episode, the Chief and a kid are stuck on the roof deck
of the Tokyo Tower. A storm is brewing over Tokyo and no rescue teams are
available at the moment leaving Bokuto at a loss. On top of that, the elevator
of the Tokyo Tower has been shut down due to maintenance problems. Time is
running out for the Chief because it is only a matter of time before he loses
his strength and gets blown away. Fortunately a mountain rescue officer arrives
at the scene and renders his services. Immediately a plan is set into motion
where Natsumi and the Mountain Police Officer by the name of Shouji Toukairin
are to climb their way up the stairs of the Tokyo Tower which by the way is
exposed to the outside while Miyuki is fixing the elevator. Shortly, the two
rescuers are on their way and even Natsumi has a hard time while Toukairin on
the other hand is having a walk in the park. They finally reach the top and use
blow torches to open and save the Chief together with the boy! It's the first
episode Natsumi and Toukairin are in action together!
File 36:
Maho-chan's lost Kitty (chibi)
It starts out
a peaceful quite day where the kids are out playing in the park after school.
Maho is reading a book called Sleeping Beauty while the other two boys are
playing monsters. After reading the book, Maho suddenly realizes that chibi, her
cat, is missing. Suddenly Ken arrives and asks what's up? After learning the
situation, they start a search for chibi and ask Natsumi and Miyuki for help. At
the end of the day and still no chibi, they call it a day and tell the kids to
go home which they do not follow. On the way home, they played by the marina
when suddenly Maho hears chibi and finds her inside a boat, Maho falls in while
reaching for chibi. Due to Maho's fall, the boat's anchor loosens and the boat
drifts away from the boardwalk. The two boys call Bokuto Station and Ken who was
nearest was first to respond. I won't spoil the action but this is one of the
best episodes because Ken looks really cool unlike before and all the officers
are wearing blue uniforms just like in the movie.
File 37: Train
Riding Pickpockets
The Traffic
department of Bokuto station has been asked to investigate pickpocket activity
along the Wangan and Yamanote Line. Only two officers were allowed for the job
and it was none other than Aoi and Yoriko!? Well at least Miyuki and Natsumi
still get to be back-up, anyway after a long day of back and forth train riding,
the two end up catching molesters and disrespectful people instead of the
pickpockets until suddenly the pickpockets strike! The two pickpockets go big
time this time and steal a suitcase from a bunch of men and accidentally drop it
discovering the contents to be two (2) guns. Now desperate, since they were
being chased by Aoi and Yoriko, they hijack the train but to their surprise the
guns turn out to be only model guns used for filming movies. Tough luck, they
get beat up by Natsumi who dives right into the train thanks to Aoi and Yoriko's
door opening skills.
File 38: The
newest Officer, Toukairin
Well, he is
not actually a new officer rather he was assigned to Bokuto for Rescue training
classes. At first the day turns out to be pretty normal until Natsumi goes about
the cafeteria challenging people for food through arm-wrestling. Everyone,
knowing how strong she was, immediately declined and ate as fast as they can
until one brave soul agreed to the challenge, namely Toukairin. The tables were
hastily cleared for the big fight which surprisingly Natsumi loss. Everyone was
both disappointed and shocked at the outcome thinking how could anyone possibly
beat Natsumi? As the week goes on, Natsumi trains hard for a rematch to regain
her pride and tries to show off during rescue training class where disaster
tends to strike often.
File 39: The
Challenge of Beach Volleyball Man
It's finally
summer and Miyuki, Natsumi, Ken, Aoi and Yoriko decide to spend their summer
vacation at the beach. It's just fate or more likely their tough luck that the
Striker arrives as Beach Volleyball Man! They later learn about a volleyball
event with a trip to Hawaii for 5 prize. Yoriko, pre-planned, enters Miyuki and
Natsumi as well as the Striker and Nakajima into the contest. The contest was so
far a piece of cake until the finals which really heated up since a bet was
placed where winner takes off their mask or bikini in Natsumi and Miyuki's case!
It's Miyuki and Natsumi vs. Striker and Ken in the ultimate beach volleyball
match.
File 40: Triple
Double Date
Finally Ken
becomes man enough to ask Miyuki out and out to none other than the most
romantic dating spot for couples! The episode would not be complete if Natsumi,
Yoriko, Aoi and even the Chief did not spy on them which they did. While Ken and
Miyuki carry on with their date, they spot Natsumi and get the feeling they are
again being spied on. Anyway, since everyone was already there, they decided to
try out a new attraction together. It was some sort of paint-ball war-game which
involved them against monsters fueled by the passion to create a world filled
with true love by testing couples who go into their little jungle arena.
Let's see how true love conquers all between Miyuki and Nakajima.
File 41:
Renegade Cop Part 1
Violators are
loose in the city but this time they have something other than the police to
fear. A group of renegade police officers are out catching criminals using
extreme methods ultimately wrecking vehicles in the process. Due to these, the
civilians now think Bokuto is behind all this and that the police are involved
in a sinister plot to create fear throughout the city. This case is not just any
ordinary case, in fact it is so serious that Chief Inspector Arizuka assumes
command of Bokuto and the case itself. Things take a turn for the worse
however when Nakajima is injured during pursuit of these renegades, it just got
personal.
File 42:
Renegade Cop Part 2
After
Nakajima's injury to his leg, Arizuka suspends all officers from patrolling the
streets. Natsumi however takes it upon herself and goes after the renegade cops
using live ammunition. Just like Nakajima, she ends up injured upon pursuit and
breaks her arm. Miyuki and the Chief who could not stand watching their comrades
fall one at a time anymore start investigating leads and clues which may give
them an idea of what they are up against. They find out that two years ago,
three officers requested the creation of a special Traffic unit with unlimited
access and no jurisdiction boundaries whatsoever, they were denied 13 times in
two years time and then suddenly disappeared. Now they are back and no longer as
officers but as renegades who are fanatically upholding traffic regulations at
the expense of the civilian's safety. Bokuto together with Headquarters
supervision initiated a plan of capturing these renegades using 250 police cars
in total!
File 43:
Bokuto Station Peeping Scandal
Something
suspicious is going on in Bokuto Station, every officer has the feeling they are
being watched. Could it be that spies are stalking Bokuto Officers? Possibly,
but it is actually a group of kids creating a website called Bokuto Station
Diaries featuring everyday activities of the Officers who according to the press
solve cases one after the other. The Traffic Department however find it an
invasion of privacy and initiate a hunt for the peeping toms only later to find
out that it will turn out to be more than just what it seems... you will see
what I mean.
File 44:
Halloween at the Station (Bokuto Station Ghost Diaries)
It is late at
night and Nakajima is working the nightshift. A car accident has just occurred
outside the station and his fellow officers are telling him about a ghost
wandering around the station at night. Nakajima at first does not believe any of
the mumbo jumbo but while he was in the bathroom witnesses a sudden flash sweep
through the window, not once but twice! Following morning, news of Nakajima's
encounter has spread all around the station thanks to Yoriko and rumor has it he
was found in a great big puddle inside the washroom! Nakajima is able to
convince Miyuki, Natsumi, Yoriko and Aoi to help him investigate this ghost and
stay over at the station. Later that night, they find themselves with the Chief
who is doing overtime work fixing up their written apologies but ends up telling
them ghost stories about Bokuto Station the whole night. After all the ghost
stories, they decided to go home since they were going nowhere but then
suddenly, Flash! a shadow sweeps through the window beside them...
File 45: The
Summer of Keeping Promises
This is a real
nice episode where Natsumi and Shouji are able to get to know one another and
develop a liking for each other. It all starts when Oshou asks Natsumi and
Miyuki to deliver a package to his mother in Ibaragi. However, Oshou managed to
give the wrong package and so Toukairin catches up with them bringing along the
right package. They end up spending dinner in Oshou's mother's house where they
bought food since Natsumi and Shouji would empty her refrigerator in no time!
Natsumi and Shouji went to go get some groceries while Miyuki stayed behind and
cooked. Natsumi and Shouji were able to talk and understand each other and by
the end of the day they both mutually developed a fondness for one another.
File 46:
Training for Kendo
Shouji meets
a boy in the park when this boy throws his bamboo sword into a tree
and eventually hits Shouji's bike. When asked about it, the boy said he hated
Kendo and did not want it anymore. The real reason actually is that he was
beaten by a girl in Kendo class just a few hours ago. Shouji made a deal and
told him that he could get the bamboo sword back the following day. The next
day, Shouji challenged the kid and beat him by only using a banana, amazed at
Shouji's skills, the boy along with his friends asked Shouji to teach them Kendo
which he agreed to. It took several days and lessons to teach the boys but in
the end the boy was able to defeat the girl that beat him just the other day and
make friends with her once again.
File 47: Time
Limit
It might very
well be just another typical day in Bokuto Station but then everyone realizes
Chief Officer Toukairin was not in and that he has completed all the rescue
training classes for Bokuto Station. Later that day, a phone call comes in
requesting Bokuto Station to assist in a rescue operation in a multi-vehicle
accident inside a tunnel. Upon arriving at the scene, Miyuki and Natsumi are
requested to immediately report to the one in charge. It turns out Toukairin was
the one who called them and so they set out to rescue people inside the tunnel.
After a while, it seemed everyone was out until a mother said that her child was
still inside and so Shouji immediately rushes in the unstable tunnel without
hesitation and Natsumi quickly follows. Other rescuers like Miyuki however were
held back because it was too risky. Inside the tunnel, Toukairin tells Natsumi
to go back because... a few stutters and then he admits that he cares for her.
They are able to rescue the kid and get out safely, the officers plan to
celebrate for a job well done when they realize Natsumi is missing. Shouji
confesses to Natsumi that he will be leaving for the Himalayas and that he will
miss her...
File 48: The
End of Summer
The Station is
throwing a farewell party for Chief Officer Toukairin and it is Natsumi's
day-off. Natsumi remembered that Shouji will be leaving the following day for
the Himalayas but hesitates to go to the farewell party. She bikes around Japan
and returns to Ibaragi where she and Shouji spent memorable times together (File
45) and arrives back at the station when the party ended and Shouji is left
alone. They decide to go out and spend the whole night drinking beer under the
moonlight in the park together. The following day, the day where Shouji is
departing for the Himalayas, Natsumi asks to be excused from her duties and
races towards Narita Airport. These last few minutes of the episode are
excellent and a different version of Love Somebody is played in the background.
It's all about Natsumi racing to see Shouji just one more time and say goodbye
to him.
File 49:
Bokuto Theft Crisis Part 1: The New Arrival
A Luxury Car
Theft ring is wreaking havoc in the metropolis and so Headquarters decides to
set up a special unit right here in Bokuto Station. They send a hard-working
officer to spearhead the operation and she is none other than Lieutenant
Kinoshita as seen in Taiho Shichauzo The Movie and she
will hopefully also be a mainstay in the second season. Due to this special
unit, Miyuki and Natsumi are separated from each other because Miyuki is
assigned to work in the station to work on escape routes and coordinate the
vehicles when pursuing the thieves. Natsumi on the other hand is saddled up with
Lieutenant Kinoshita on Patrol. After the events that occurred during the day
together with talking to Lt. Kinoshita about careers and being police officers,
Natsumi realizes that sooner or later she and Miyuki will eventually have to
part ways. It ends when Natsumi and Miyuki chat in the roof top and Natsumi
decides to try out Headquarters. (Actually just the thought of them separating
made me feel a bit sad)
File 50:
Bokuto Theft Crisis Part 2: Goodbye, Today.
This episode
is a bit emotional especially for Miyuki because Natsumi is currently working at
Headquarters with the Lieutenant and Miyuki feels a big hole missing in her
life. Even Aoi, Yoriko and Nakajima are feeling how Miyuki is depressed and
spending too much time with her car Today
in order to fill in the gap Natsumi left behind. During patrol, Miyuki comes
across the car thieves and damages Today upon pursuit. She talks to Daimaru
about her car and how Natsumi and herself contributed to its growth. Miyuki then
realizes that she could do whatever Natsumi could and so tries out weight
lifting, bike riding, eating a lot and even challenging the Striker by hitting
his "ball of justice." In the end, Nakajima comes and comforts her. I
find it kind of vague when Miyuki and Ken talk about love and when Ken tells
Miyuki he can never replace Today, not sure if I understand it right. Anyway,
the whole station is mobilized to catch the thieves and when Miyuki walks toward
Today Natsumi shows up and they mutually tell each other how they missed each
other. Yes folks, their partners again!
File 51:
Bokuto Theft Crisis Part 3: My Best Partner
This is the
final episode where Miyuki, Natsumi along with the whole Bokuto Police Force run
after the criminals. Detective Tokuno has spotted the thieves and notices a
suspicious truck. They find out that the stolen cars are aboard the truck and so
the chase begins. It is pretty much action packed when everybody pursues the
truck along the highway. Nakajima, Yoriko and Aoi together with Miyuki and
Natsumi are hot on the tail of the truck but the truck starts releasing it's
load of Alfa Romeo and Mercedes Benz on the highway. Nakajima throws himself and
his bike in front of a van in order to save Miyuki from being shot, this stunt
injures Ken but also overturns the van. Aoi and Yoriko also get a piece of the
action when a car pulls over and seems to have an injured driver, they pull over
a check when suddenly Aoi is shot by the driver! It was all up to Miyuki and
Natsumi to stop the thieves and they did with the help of Miyuki's home made
tear gas. The episode ends with a special ending showing each character with
Sora o Miagete playing in the background. By the way Aoi is still alive and the
shot was not fatal as shown in the ending credits.
That is about
it, I hope you enjoyed this episode guide. I had a lot of fun making it so I
plan to make another one for Taiho Shichauzo Special and hopefully for the
Second Season. If there are any clarifications or some things you do not
understand about this episode guide, feel free to e-mail me. |Click
