Good afternoon,
or perhaps I should say, good evening.
We meet again, surface-dwelling humans.
I've been exposing the truth the Ranger Force has long tried to hide.
The Sunday Showdown, coated in deception,
and the obvious manipulation of information!
But unfortunately,
my voice has yet to reach many people.
So today, let me show everyone a special truth.
Thanks to you, our TV ratings for this season skyrocketed again.
That's all good,
but about that advert for the sports drink...
I told you to use the right-angle photo, didn't I?
I don't like the left side of my face.
The Truth: Sunday Showdowns Are Staged!
I will repeat myself.
Please wake up to the truth of this world!
There you go, catch it!
I'm the horse boss, Hwalipon.
Hwalipon!
Go! Go! Loser Ranger!
Episode 19 We Are the Monster Protection Society
Please wake up to the truth of this world!
There you go, catch it!
I'm the horse boss, Hwalipon.
Hwalipon!
What are you doing, young boy?
Sakurama! If you're free, could you go hang out the laundry to dry?
That damn Chidori, he's looking down on me.
The least you could do is decide who your enemy is.
Hey, don't play hooky out in the open.
What?
Let's go.
We have an emergency joint mission with the Red Squadron.
Amanogawa Central Zoo
I will avenge my comrades.
I won't leave any behind.
I'll exterminate...
Exterminate!
What are those things?
Come on, now that's one hell of a sight.
Exterminate...
Beni!
Divine Artifact, Manifest!
You fought well to the very end.
I got you all to come,
but the Green Squadron never got their moment.
Sorry, my bad.
We showed our shameful side, but we're fine now.
You guys should focus on finding the boss monster
who went into hiding.
Huh?
I've met you before, haven't I?
Oh, yes.
We've met once at the Red Garrison.
My name is Hibiki Sakurama.
Sakurama...
I see.
We might not get to interact much since you're in the Green Squadron,
but do your best.
Tokita, I'll leave you to it.
Get ready to pull out.
- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!
Damn it.
They're splattered all over the place.
Take one trash bag each, you hear?
W-We should help them too, don't you think?
Yeah, you're right.
Shion, it's been a while.
So you joined the Red Squadron.
And you're in the sidelined Green Squadron?
Sorry, but I'm leaving if you don't need anything from me.
Let's finish this up quickly and go back.
The Red Keeper suspects either you or Usukubo could be a traitor.
What?
I find it a pain in the ass to sneak around and snoop.
So, are you, Sakurama?
It has to be Usukubo. I'm sure of it!
Hey, don't move the corpses!
We're only dealing with the minced meat!
Animal Caretaker Section 1
Sakura Hibari
Damn it, damn it, damn it!
I'm in so much danger right now!
My identity was exposed to Green, and Red has his eyes on me!
Each and every one of them doing all this unnecessary digging!
That hurt!
Red Keeper?
- What is he doing? - It's so hot.
I told them I hate the stuffy attraction show outfit, seriously.
Hello?
What? Don't just tell me, "I couldn't figure it out."
For now, you could at least get the video deleted.
I don't need someone like Green to tell me what to do.
My enemies are you guys!
Come on. Like I said, just do what I say, and it'll be fine.
Shit!
What a dunce.
You guys aren't the ones fighting,
so the least you could do is protect my reputation.
Don't make me repeat myself.
Just who do you think is the one earning...
No freaking way!
H-He died!
There's no doubt about it, he died!
I did it!
I've done it!
Damn, I feel awesome!
Well, the world is experiencing a huge upheaval now.
So, this is the actual video uploaded on a video website yesterday.
Please play it.
Take a look!
This is the tragic scenery at Amanogawa Central Zoo,
a recreational area for everyone.
The Rangers who don't know anything
about the Ranger Force are being sacrificed!
On top of that, it's not the first time something like this has happened.
There was also the tragedy
of preschoolers and teachers being attacked!
The news report says that a lion had escaped from the cage,
but that was a complete lie!
The Ranger Force has buried this incident as an inconvenient fact!
Now, just where did these kaiju come from?
The answer is right here.
I'm the one who released them!
I only have one request,
and that is the dissolution of the Ranger Force.
If this is not fulfilled,
the kaiju from this video could appear right next to you!
What's going on?
Is the Ranger Force a threat?
Can't tell my kids
Red Keeper faces backlash
Meal over work? Sunday Showdown clearly staged
Is this real?
The dates match
He's terrible No longer supporting him
- Reveal the truth behind the Ranger Force! - Disband them!
- Make it public! - Make it public!
Disband the Ranger Force!
Disband them!
Disband the Ranger Force immediately!
Someone's here.
Related personnel?
Do you have some time to spare?
Stop!
Wh-What's up with you guys?
We're from the Monster Protection Society.
Hey, you! Did you watch that viral video?
Wha... Oh, you mean the one from that whatchamacallit-poi?
Hwalipon!
Don't act dumb!
The Ranger Force is obligated to explain themselves!
Give me a break.
I'm not with the Ranger Force.
They kind of want to reinstate me,
but I'm thinking of rejecting them.
We are the Divine Dragon Rangers, the Dragon Keepers!
Oh, the Dragon Keepers have appeared!
With Blue Keeper's debut,
all five of them strike their victory pose!
This guy's an imposter!
Shut up!
Get the hell out and do your shopping!
You've got two persons' worth of chores!
Usukubo resigned from the Ranger Force.
I heard that she disappeared from the zoo,
but apparently, she abruptly called in and resigned.
Hey, look!
Yikes, he's from the Ranger Force!
So outdated.
They should just hurry up and disband already.
- They're to blame, so why's he here? - What a bunch of troublemakers.
Stop it, he'll hear you!
Apparently, Yukino's been transferred from the Blue Squadron to the Yellow Squadron.
Is that so?
Anyway, how did you know that?
I heard from Yukino. See?
Got moved to the Yellow Squadron
Really?
Yukino is so guarded. I'm surprised you got her contact info.
She seems normal to me.
I exchanged contacts with all of the cadets back then.
Figures. People person.
Well, we've got to stay connected.
Besides, who knows what'll happen to the Ranger Force?
The number of recruits reduced drastically too.
Kurusu, are you not quitting?
What?
I mean, being part of the Ranger Force won't make you popular now, am I wrong?
Well, you're right, but it's not like I have anything else I want to do.
Besides, it felt as if we were a little bit like heroes back then.
I agree.
I refuse!
I told you, it's only for this one time!
I've already submitted my shift application for the next month
at my part-time workplace!
Give up!
Your luck ran out the moment you transformed, Souma!
I can always take these off!
Becoming an ally of justice doesn't make me money!
I'm being paid below minimum wage on an hourly wage.
The Ranger Force is exploitative!
I'm exasperated.
You can take it off, but you can't undo wearing it.
Come here, I'll give you a massage!
Ow-ow-ouch!
The views for today's Sunday Showdown are the lowest in history.
The world is moving in a somewhat
unfavorable direction for the Ranger Force.
So we can't have you leaving now.
You're late, fatso!
I saw the video. Wasn't that your zoo?
I'm sorry.
Is everyone here already?
It's only us and those over there.
It's my first time seeing those two.
The head director invited them.
It appears that they are our comrades.
That's right.
Just like you all, they've been welcomed as board members of the society.
Understood, Head Director.
Let's get started quickly!
Before that, allow me to introduce one more person.
Please come in.
The monsters and Ranger Force have begun to move.
We should also begin soon, Father.
The General Assembly of the Monster Protection Society
Equal rights and dignity for humans and monsters alike.
Junior First Rank Suzukiri?
It's rare to see her come to the garrison.
Nee-sama!
Ange. How do you feel wearing the Yellow suit?
I guess I still can't get used to it.
But this is the squadron that I've always wanted to join,
and it's all thanks to you putting in a good word for me.
I see.
I was so moved to see everything in person.
Who would've thought the Dragon God Energy, still a mystery,
could power the Dragon Keepers' transformation and gadget development?
The Yellow Squadron is really amazing!
As expected of you, Ange.
You did your proper research.
However, that's the kind of ostensible work everyone knows about.
What?
Since you're here, want to come with me?
What lies ahead is the other side and secret of the Yellow Squadron.
Yumeko Suzukiri coming in.
Oh?
The Yellow Keeper?
Junior First Rank Suzukiri, is she a newcomer?
This area is off-limits!
Isn't it fine? After all, she's a comrade and part of the same squadron.
Still...
Well, it's fine.
Yumeko, it's been a while.
It's the real deal.
But, why did you transform inside the garrison?
I don't really have a reason for that.
I simply had no reason to revert my transformation.
I wouldn't have to lug around
my heavy Divine Artifact for the transformation.
Yellow.
Oh, my apologies.
Since you came here, you must be after this thing, right?
Don't tell me, isn't that...
A kaiju.
That's right, it may be a minimum specimen,
but it's the sole precious sample we've successfully captured alive.
Currently, the entire Yellow Squadron
has been deployed to research all we can about this kaiju.
Wow...
That reminds me.
I saw former Senior Second Rank Daidai the other day.
- What? - What?
It looks like he's currently with the Monster Protection Society.
Now that's a nostalgic name. So he's alive?
I was surprised, too.
As a former key player in Yellow Squadron's
confidential experiment--
Junior First Rank Suzukiri, we have a rankless Ranger here!
The experiment that was conducted here 13 years ago...
And the product of that abominable past.
I feel like I've seen a creature similar to this back then.
Wait, what do you mean?
Are you saying that the kaiju was created by the Ranger Force?
I don't recall anything about that.
Are you trying to imply that we are in cahoots with the horse boss?
No.
This must have been unexpected for the Ranger Force.
The assault on the Ranger Force by boss monster Peltrola
just before this incident happened...
We don't know their motive,
but if it was to steal these experiments that were put to sleep, it makes sense.
And now through Hwalipon, the kaiju incidents occurred.
Hmm... There's no proof of it, though.
Do you have any evidence aside from your speculation?
All that talk, you erased all the evidence.
Still, I have my proof.
Nee-sama!
Wh-What are you...
That's it!
This kaiju was supposed to be a precious sample.
Normally, you'd be more upset than this.
After all, research would be impossible.
Senior Second Rank Yamabuki's reaction tells me everything I need to know.
That is, "We've already known all that we need to about this kaiju
since a long time ago."
Well, nicely done.
I'm kind of starting to believe there's some credibility in your theory, too.
We are 100% sure that the Ranger Force was not involved
in the creation of these kaiju,
but humanity has always evolved from questioning common sense, you know.
Yes, right?
Yumeko, even if that were true...
I'm sure you didn't come to just tell me all that.
Just say it.
Supposing that the nonsense I said is true,
former Senior Second Rank Daidai would have leaked the Yellow Squadron's
secrets to the monsters.
Don't you think that it's too dangerous to leave someone like him be, Yellow?
I'll kill former Senior Second Rank Daidai.
If I do that, relinquish the Yellow Keeper position to me.
I might've said it's nice not carrying the Divine Artifact all the time,
but I didn't say that it's not with me now.
Why don't you use it then?
If you can use it, that is.
Well, just give it a thought.
But I don't think there's much time left.
Let's head back.
I hope you manage to gather all of the Divine Artifacts.
Nee-sama?
Please excuse me.
Is it really fine to let that person roam free like this?
It's all good.
After all, she's the one who's in a hurry.
Sakurama.
- Oh! - Good evening.
Please come with me.
Translated by Qianni Lu
From now on, I will carry out my new mission.
Sakurama, you've always been concerned
about the monsters ever since you were colorless.
Since then, I've been thinking that you'd be the one.
What?
Come with me. Take off that stifling suit.
You two over there, get away from each other!
I can't ignore a healthy man and woman talking about undressing!
Junior First Rank Hisui...
I shall accompany him as his guardian!
Would you mind not messing with my squadron members, you outsider?
Sure.
Please come together with us
to the Monster Protection Society.
If you get to know us, your sense of values might change too.
Okay, good afternoon.
Doctor, it's too bright...
"I can't sleep," was it?
I know. I know!
Next episode, "Come and Join the Monsters!"
You snooze, you lose! I'm shining at you first!
I can't lose!
