Hey, guys.
Is Eraser around?
I wanted to give him some reports.
They're from my recent patrols.
Nah, he's not here today.
Recently, he's been working with the cops a lot more.
Besides, isn't that data stuff more Midnight's thing?
Ask her to stop by for a change.
I shouldn't. I'm sure she's busy at work,
and I'd feel bad for interrupting her.
Funny, 'cause we're busy at work,
and you're interrupting us.
The truth is, I get kind of nervous
around Midnight unless Pop's there.
Oh, yeah?
And where is Pop now?
[KOICHI] She's been training around the clock
for the Captain's farewell event.
[JIRO] Oh, yeah, the Captain Celebrity thing.
It's going to be at the Sky Egg, right?
Sounds like a big deal.
Seems like you should be there helping them out, too.
Yeah, I tried, but they said I would get in the way
and ran me out.
Uh-huh.
Sucks, but I get it.
You're not that useful, man.
Just own it.

♪ ♪
[NAOMASA] I wanted to talk to you about that vigilante intel
you gave us the other day.
Regardless of its source,
it's become an invaluable asset in our case.
In fact, it just provided us with a vital lead.
We looked at the small-time criminals recorded
in the notes, along with the personal information
of the instant Villain victims.
Then we cross-referenced that
info with a customer list from Hong Kong.
So we started connecting the dots
and looking for people connected to both the villain
attacks and drug ops. We found a few names that
were in friend of a friend territory,
and when we looked further into them,
then it got interesting.
It turns out about half of them
have something odd in common.
They work with a drug company called
Onomura Pharma Corps as either
employees or contractors.
Onomura?
What kind of stuff do they do?
- Never heard of them. - No surprise.
They mostly produce and sell
drugs wholesale to hospitals.
So they're not exactly well known to the public.
But are they the Factory?
[ERASER] Could be one of their hideouts, at least.
Yeah, definitely. Either way, we're closing in
on the root of the operation bit by bit.
That's good, of course,
but I can't say I'm happy with how much
we've had to rely on anonymous tips to get this far.
As a police officer, I don't like the thought
of the public doing my job for me.
Yeah, when it comes to that kind of stuff, I say--
Just forget about it.
What's it matter who or where the tip comes from?
If it gets results, then it's all good, man.
As long as no one gets hurt, of course.
But I bet that's exactly
what you were about to say.
It's only rational, right?
These are reinforcements stopping by from Osaka.
The BMI Hero, Fat Gum in the house.
Nice to work with you.
I'm Kaniyashiki from Osaka PD,
but you can call me Kaniko.
Uh, hey.
[NAOMASA] Officer Kaniyashiki has
been working on the investigation
to help nail down the drug trafficking routes.
As for Fat Gum's role--
I would assume he's here as a precaution in case
you have to subdue more altered Villains.
Bingo, my friend.
This sumptuous body of mine can take a beating.
I'll never lose in an old-fashioned brawl.
Up until recently, I handled the investigation
and gave Fat Man a call when the situation
called for some muscle.
[FAT GUM] But if a Villain pops out of nowhere,
there's no telling if I can hit the scene in time.
[KANIYASHIKI] I got in a real mess
- the other day 'cause of that. - The problem is,
if I don't have someone to punch,
I'm not too handy to have around.
I'm not good at being sneaky or wearing disguises
or anything subtle at all.
But we've got you to lend us a hand now, so it's no biggie.
[NAOMASA] In short, we're lucky to accompany
Officer Kaniyashiki during her investigation
as a more discreet bodyguard.
Of course, I'll still come running if you get in a scrap,
but it'll be a relief knowing there's a tough guy like you
on the scene from the get-go.
A strong man and handsome to boot.
- Lucky me. - Now you've got two
strong and handsome men. You're getting greedy.
The only thing greedy is your appetite.
We gave you the perfect setup.
Now bring it home, pal.
Uh-huh.
This don't look good, Fat Man.
If this guy can't give me a punchline,
how am I going to work with him?
The dude's a natural straight man,
so you gotta double down on the goofy stuff.
Wait a minute, Fat Man. The hey kay crab
is my best freaking shtick,
and it only works when I'm the straight man.
[FAT GUM] It's a sight gag.
It doesn't work as a punchline.
Are you picking a fight with me?
Why, you little.
You want to get snipped, brah?
Cause I'll screw you good, ma boy.
Oh, man... That kills me every time!
Is this just part of the job, too?
No, not exactly.
On a final note, we're going to be
working with other departments on this case.
The plan is to investigate Onomura Pharma from a number
of different angles.
As for your role in all this, we
need you to make direct contact
with a few company employees.
In other words, it's likely you'll encounter a Villain,
so consider it a high-risk job.
Fine. If a Villain does show up,
we'll know what to do.
It might be dangerous,
but at least it's simple, right?
All right, time to start digging.
Look lively, team!
♪ Mama says I'm bugging out ♪
That suit looks nice on you.
Do I have to dress like this?
It's stifling.
Hey, just think of it as practice.
If you screw something up real bad,
you'll have to wear one of these for your apology
- press conference. - You're insane.
Why would your mind go there?
Excuse me.
[ERASER] Are these disguises really necessary?
[KANIYASHIKI] Come on, it's fine.
[ERASER] But is it necessary?
[KANIYASHIKI] It's fine, trust me.
[ERASER] No, listen.
[KANIYASHIKI] It's fine.
It's fine, fine.
