On the day once a year when the sun and Sirius rise simultaneously, the morning of the Festival of Caligula, a priest found a white lion cub frolicking, seeming to be embraced by the Sphinx. Pepi the first declared the white lion cub to be a messenger of God. It was brought to the shrine inside the palace, and worshipped as the White Lion God. {Narrator}However, the slaves under Pepi the first stole the cub to make it their own Guardian God, and escaped upstream on the Nile. Pepi the first dispatched men after them immediately,but the jungle upstream were deep, and they could not find them. Then Pepi the first declared the jungle in the area to be holy lands and named it Abiorion, forbiding anyone from stepping inside the lands. It is said that since then, the white lion continues to live there as the protector of the jungle generation after generation. {Narrator}This 4000 year old veil was about to be torn now. {Hamegg}Don't panic! Look, he's got high-quality tusks. There's no way I'm gonna lose him! {Chief}White visitor, it seems the hunt was a great success. {Hamegg}No, it was a success but I wouldn't call it a great success. {Chief}Why? {Hamegg}My goal is to shoot and kill the legendary white lion and take his raw hide. {Chief}You shouldn't do that. That lion's the guardian god of the jungle. No, he's the white devil. If you try to catch him you'll be cursed! {Hamegg}A curse? Did you hear that, Kuttah? {Hamegg}Hey Kuttah, stop eating already!! {Kuttah}Don't nag me so, Hamegg-kun. If it wasn't for me you wouldn't be able to carry out even one tusk of ivory. {Hamegg}He's like a hyena! {Guard}What is that?? {Guard}T..that's a....! {Chief}W...what the? {Hamegg}Damn, the precious hunt! {Chief}W...wait! He's got a child! {Chief}It was just about to be eaten! {Hamegg}Dammit, I'll get him next time! {Chief}The white lion's smarter than man. A devil has taken over his body. There's no way he'll be caught. {Man}That other voice... {Chief}That's the female lion that the white lion keeps with him answering his call. It said he likes her very much. {Man}S...sir, that's the claw mark of the white lion... let's not go in any further! {Hamegg}Don't be scared! Hm? {Hamegg}Kuttah, are you ready? {Kuttah}Y...yeah. {Hamegg}He's there! {Hamegg}We did it! Take it to the village quick! {Kuttah}Is the white lion really going to come? {Hamegg}He'll come. I've been chasing him for ten years. {Hamegg}He won't leave behind his fellow animals to die. {Kuttah}Oh heaven forbid... if you lose your life you can't make money... {Hamegg}You totally fell for it! {Eliza}Panja! {Panja}E...liza... {Eliza}Panja, hold on! I'm with your child! {Panja}Please name my child Leo. {Eliza}Leo... {Panja}It means "courageous one." Please. {Eliza}Panja!!! {Chief}Oh the Jungle's devil, the soul of the white lion, it's the white visitors who killed you. So please don't curse us! {Tribe}Please don't curse us! Please don't curse us! {Kuttah}Hmmm, seems this female lion's with child. Hamueku hasn't noticed yet... {Hamegg}Hey Kuttah! Let's get to cutting a deal. {Kuttah}Why do you have to be so hurried? {Hamegg}If the Smuggling Inspectors found out about this then it'll all be ruined. {Kuttah}There's no need to worry, I've taken care of the inspector and the customs officer. It took quite a bit of money. Then how about we negotiate... How's this price? {Hamegg}H...how cheap of you! I've almost lost my life many times for that white lion!! {Kuttah}I...I've also been put in customs jail many times too! I think we're equal don't you. {Hamegg}In this business we risk life. Now give me more!! {Kuttah}All right. Put that away. {Kuttah}How about this? {Hamegg}Hmm, I like it, brother. {Chief}White visitor, what about my reward? {Hamegg}I have it ready here. It's the new model of the rifle. {Chief}Good. {Hamegg}If there is a chance again, see you then. {Hamegg}Wish you a safe journey to London. {Kuttah}Of course ! This time we have tons of expensive ivory on top of animals. I won't stand anything other than "safe"! Then until we meet again. {Hamegg}Stay well! {Kuttah}You don't know anything... {Man}Kuttah-san! Kuttah-san! {Kuttah}I told you not to disturb me during a meal. {Man}No time for that, your lion had a child. {Kuttah}Really??? {Kuttah}No mistake, it's the white lion's child. This is good, I've gotten the white lion just being here while Hamegg risked his life for ten years! It's because I am so much smarter! {Man}Kuttah-san! It's a telegram. {Kuttah}Telegram? {Hamegg}Let's decide the price of the child later. Hamegg. {Kuttah}Damn! He knew! {Hamegg}Cheers to the white lion's child! {Eliza}My child, your name is Leo. {Leo}Leo? {Eliza}It means "Courageous one." Your father gave this name to you. {Eliza}Your father was named Panja. Respected by all, he was a strong and brave admirable lion. {Leo}When do I get to meet father? {Eliza}Leo, you cannot meet your father anymore. Your father was killed by wicked humans. Your father always kept a watch so the humans could not come into the jungle and kill us. Leo, you must return to the jungle, take after your father, and become a great lion! {Leo}Jungle? {Eliza}It's a big forest where us animals can live in peace without worrying about getting attacked by humans. Under those clouds, under those clouds is our wide and open Africa. {Leo}Africa? {Eliza}Yes. And deep in that Africa is our jungle. I cannot get out, but you are small enough to. Now go to Africa, to our jungle! {Leo}No, no I don't want to! {Eliza}Leo, listen carefully. If we go to the zoo, you'll be separated from me and put in a cage like this by yourself. A miserable life in a small cage, Leo. {Eliza}The sound of the wind has changed. {Eliza}There will be a storm soon. Escape quickly! {Eliza}Now's the chance, quickly! Leo! {Leo}No, I want to stay with you! {Leo}Mother! {Eliza}Leo! Now! Fast! {Eliza}Come on now, be brave! {Leo}Wow, how huge! {Girl}What is that, a puppy? {Man}It's a white lion cub! {Kuttah}What is it? {Kuttah}Arrgghh, if he falls into the ocean it would be all over! {Kuttah}Damn...I've lost all I've gained! {Eliza}Dear, please protect Leo... {Leo}Mother! {Leo}Wow, it's so pretty! {Leo}Okay, I'm going to try hard too! {Song} "Become the Glow of the Sunset" Performed by: Tomoko Tokugaki Meguriaete yokatta (I'm glad we met) Konna hiroi sekai de (In this vast world) Kimi to ikiru ichinichi wa (A single day I live with you) Kitto asu mo kirameku hazu nano (Should make tomorrow shine bright too) Ima orange iro no hi ga shizumu kara (Because the orange-colored sun sinks now) Futari no silhouette yubae ni nare (Our silhouette, become the glow of the sunset) Mabushii (How bright) Yubae ni nare (Become the glow of the sunset) Chapter Two: --- Promise {Leo}Mother! {Kuttah}Seems I haven't used up all my luck yet! Yes it's alive! Can't let the precious treasure die, can I ? But it's a wonder that we're both alive. You must have been having one hell of a time being tossed around too. We had a storm and it was terrible. Poor you, your mother sank with the ship. Not that you'd understand anything I tell you, right? What are we going to do now...Eh? {Kuttah}Hey wait watch out! Oh you better not be trying to run away! God what are you doing! Do you want to be thrown into the sea again?? Hey we're saved ! Hey ! Hey ! {Man}Please wait. What is that? {Kuttah}Ah well...it's my cat you see... {Man}I'm a quarantine officer. I can tell the difference between a cat and a lion in an instant. {Kuttah}What? This is a lion cub? {Man 2}Oh this is the person who was drifting in the ocean. {Man 3}Y...you are Kuttah! {Man 2}You know him? {Man 3}Of course! It's international smuggling broker, Mr. Kuttah. {Ban}What? Smuggling broker?? {Kuttah}Ah see, I haven't done anything... well, my ship was wrecked and... {Man 3}Anyways, Mr. Kuttah, let's hear your story. {Man 2}Oh Ban Sensei, thank you for coming. {Ban}Well I was fishing then I heard there was a radio message from your ship so I came home quickly. So then where's the victim of the shipwreck? {Man 2}This way. {Ban}What's this cat? {Man 3}It is not a cat. It is a lion. {Ban}A lion?? {Kenichi}It's cute! Oh uncle, I wish we could take it home and keep it! {Ban}K...Kenichi! Don't say stupid things! {Man 3}Actually it seems to be very weak. Would you examine it? {Ban}Absolutely not! I'm not a vet! {Kenichi}But uncle! {Ban}Don't say anything unnecessary! {Man 2}Sensei, this lion was rescued while drifting in the ocean. In other words it's a shipwreck victim too. {Kenichi}Uncle, please! {Ban}You want me to examine a lion cub? {Kenichi}But, if you just leave it now and it dies that's horrible! {Ban}God, this is an unprecedented event! {Man}Until we know what to do with it we want Sensei to keep it. {Ban}No way ! To place it somewhere appropriate, isn't that what you should do? {Man}Yes, but it is an unprecedented situation. It's not an import item, nor a smuggled item, nor is there a stolen goods report out on it. We cannot handle it at this department alone... {Kenichi}So we can keep it our house? {Ban}K..Kenichi! {Kenichi}Uncle, why not since it's only until they know what to do with it? {Man}I beg of you. {Ban}Oh brother. I can't believe this... {Kenichi}Good for you, Shiro (white)! {Ban}Hey it's been six months, what do you mean you still don't know what to do? Anyways it's getting too big, I feel like I'm going to be eaten before you guys decide! {Kenichi}You can't do that Shiro! {Kenichi}Uncle look at Shiro! {Ban}N...no way! {Girl}Wow, a white lion! {Girl 2}You mean a white cat! {Kenichi}Today we're not in the usual town, so you can't wander around! {Leo}This smell, it's different from the smell of a human! {Kenichi}Oh I get it, you wanted to go inside a zoo! {Leo}Wow, how big! {Dad}Hey, this didn't escape from a cage did it? {Mom}There's no way something like that would happen! {Leo}What's over that way? {Kenichi}Oh, when they finish that subway, it will be a nonstop route from the harbor! {Leo}Huh? This smell is... {Kenichi}Hey, Shiro! {Leo}It's kind of like Mother's smell! {Old Lion}You're a lion cub! {Leo}That's right! My name's Leo! {Old Lion}Where did you come from? {Leo}I came from the ocean! {Panther}There aren't lions in the ocean! {Old Lion}Don't get near those thugs! {Old Lion}It's the black panther brothers. {Leo}Black panthers? {Old Lion}The one in the middle is the oldest, Duo. Then to the right of him is Zobia, and to the left is the youngest Balibo. They're all violent animals. {Balibo}You talkative old lion! Don't say unnecessary things! {Duo}Kid, you say you came from the ocean? {Leo}I'm not a kid, I'm Leo! {Zobia}Heh, looks like a headstrong little kid! {Leo}I was born on a ship. {Leo}But mother told me to go back to the jungle, so I swam in the ocean and got here. {Duo}You swam in the ocean? {Balibo}It's gotta be a made up story. {Leo}It's true!! {Duo}Then... you don't know the jungle. {Balibo}if you let us out we'll take you there! {Leo}What, if I let you out?? {Ban}Yeah. {Zobia}Stop teasing the kid. {Leo}Okay, then I'll try. {Leo}I'm Panja's son, and Father could do anything! {Old Lion}Panja's son?? {Leo}You know my father? {Old Lion}I've never met him, but I've heard the rumor that a brave white lion named Panja lives in the jungle. {Leo}That's got to be my father! {Leo}Everyone's gathered that way looking at something big, so if you want to escape do it now! {Ban}Don't say stupid things you brat. {Leo}It's okay. Just wait! {Balibo}A door we can't open could never be opened by such a small kid, you know? {Duo}Definitely. {Leo}Now, come on. {Duo}You did it kid! {Old Lion}You won't be able to escape. {Duo}Shut up, old man! {Leo}Mister ! {Leo}Mister, I'll open your cage right now too! {Old Lion}No, I'm already too old. I could never run all the way to the savanna. {Duo}Hurry! {Leo}But sir... {Old Lion}I won't go. It's better to keep dreams as dreams. {Leo}Mister ! {Leo}Mister! I am going! {Old Lion}If I was younger too... {Balibo}Hey kid, go home ! {Leo}You promised to take me to the jungle ! {Duo}Hurry! {Leo}Wait. Dammit, they promised! {Kenichi}Shiro! {Man}Oh no, the panthers have gotten out of the cage! {Kenichi}Shiro! {Announcement}Everyone, please evacuate the area! Three panthers have escaped from their cages!! {Kenichi}Shiro! {Man}This way's dangerous! {Kenichi}But Shiro is... {Man}Why did they escape? {Man2}The black panthers have gone for the back route. Close the back gates immediately! {Man3}Now not even an ant could crawl outta here! {Ban}That way's not possible. We can't get out. {Duo}Damn... {Zobia}Let's force our way out! {Duo}Okay, let's try it! {Leo}Wait! {Ban}Get out of the way kid! {Zobia}Go hide in those bushes or something! {Leo}Listen, we may be able to get out! {Troop leader}What is it? {Chief of Zoo}Well, it may be nothing big but... {Troop Leader}So what is it? {Chief of Zoo}Um, I just remembered, the subway station is just being built... {Troop Leader}Mister Zookeeper ! Why did you not tell us something so important till now... {Troop Leader}Hey, have another troop go to the subway immediately! {Men}Yes sir! {Duo}What is this? {Leo}I don't know but... {Ban}What do you think, Bro? {Leo}Follow me! {Ban}That kid is planning on bossing us around! {Duo}Never mind and hurry! {Zobia}Look at this Bro. It's a huge cave! {Ban}They'll never find us here! {Leo}But if we stay here the humans will come! {Ban}What? There's no one here! {Duo}No, the kid's probably right. The smell of humans is everywhere. {Duo}All right, let's go deeper! {Ban}How ever much we go, it's still dark! {Zobia}Bro, where are you planning on going? {Leo}Why don't you go to the ocean? {Duo}What? {Leo}Go the ocean, and sneak inside a ship. My mother said she was taken from the jungle in a ship. {Ban}By ship you mean that thing that looks like a mountain that brought us here? I see! But how do we get there? {Leo}I know the smell of the ocean. Even now, there's the slight smell of the ocean! {Duo}That kid may be right. {Leo}I'm not a kid, I'm Leo! {Duo}I understand, it's Leo. Guide us there. {Kenichi}I lost sight of Shiro at the zoo. He may be with the black panthers. {Ban Sensei}Oh that is terrible! I'll be there in a second so wait! {Duo}Okay, let's hurry! {Duo}Wait ! {Zobia}What is that sound? {Ban}Something's coming! {Zobia}What is that? {Zobia}Let's get 'em! {Duo}Stop!! Zobia! Balio! {Duo}Zobia! Balio! {Duo}Come on, pull yourself together! {Zobia}I can't, they got my shoulder. {Ban}They got my hip. There's no way I could stand. {Duo}Dammit, we came this far... {Man}The train went through, hurry! {Leo}Humans are coming. We have to hurry! {Duo}Balio! Zobia! {Zobia}Bro, please go. {Ban}Please make our wish come true. I beg of you. {Man}I can see something! {Zobia}Bro! Hurry! {Ban}Bro... {Duo}I understand. I promise I'll get to the jungle. Leo, let's go! {Leo}Yes! {Man}Near East 10th Station 2 black panthers were captured. {Chief}Where's the last one? {Man}They're still searching for him! {Man 2}Stop! {Ban}What happened to the black panthers? {Man 2}There's still one loose in the area. {Ban}Only the one black panther? {Man 2}There seems to be a white dog with him. {Kenichi}Shiro! {Men}Hey wait ! Where are you going ? Stop ! {Leo}Thanks Duo! {Duo}It's okay. Go home. {Leo}I promised that I'll go with you! It's a man's promise! {Leo}Duo, it seems to be this way! {Duo}Okay! {Leo}Hey, I can smell the ocean! {Duo}Look, it's light! The opening's close! {Leo}They're here, let's hurry! {Duo}Leo, I have to apologize! {Duo}When you said you were coming to the ocean with us, I thought you would get scared and run away. {Leo}I wouldn't run away! {Duo}Yeah, you're a great man!

It's a golden egg for sure. {Kuttah}The producer said he'll pay any price, but I've just been released. I can't move around too conspicuously. {Kuttah}If you get it back for me I'll be very generous with the reward, Bread. {Bread}I understand, Mr. Kuttah. {Ban}I see, I'll warn him to try not, um no, to never let it outside. {Bread}Okay then, I'm very sorry. {Bread}Kenichi ! {Bread}You cannot let Shiro out anymore ! {Bread}The phone's been ringing off the hook with complaints ! {Bread}Arg, again. {Bread}Yes, I'm sorry, yes, yes. God, they say whatever the heck they please ! {Kenichi}Shiro doesn't seem to act like we can always be together. {Kuttah}Hey, hey, Bread ! {Bread}Don't worry, it's a stun gun. {Bread}Damn, playing with me ! {Kenichi}Uncle ! {Ban}What's going on ? {Kenichi}Shiro ! {Ban}Must have been after Shiro. {Kenichi}But who ? {Ban}I'd heard that Kuttah got out but maybe... {Kenichi}You chased him away huh ?

I cannot wait anymore ! {Man}Just a sec, I... {Ban}That smuggler Kuttah is after it again ! If it stays like this we can't be sure what'll happen at night. {Man}It's been decided to send him to the Safari Park in Africa ! {B}Huh ? Why didn't you say so earlier ? {Man}You wouldn't let me ! {K}Hello, Ban residence. Oh Uncle ? {K}What really ? {B}That's right, the person in charge was being mean and wouldn't tell me ! {B}Yes, around tomorrow they're going to come to take him, so don't let Shiro out ! Huh ? Yeah. {K}It's been decided you're going to the Safari Park in Africa. {K}It's better than the zoo but I don't want to leave you. {Delivery guy}I'm with City Hall. It's been decided that your lion cub is going to the zoo, so I'm here to pick it up. {K}What ? The zoo ? That's odd. Uncle was saying it was the Safari Park in Africa. {Delivery Guy}Uh, yes, the Safari Park. If you go there, it's a natural zoo you see. {K}But I should wait til Uncle gets home. {Delivery Guy}I'm told to hurry. {K}I see. {K}Shiro, come here ! {K}What's the matter, Shiro ? {Delivery Guy}Okay come on, come now. {K}Stop it, Shiro ! {K}What's the matter with you Shiro ! {Delivery Guy}Kid, this is the way to tame an animal ! {K}Wh.what are you doing ? {Delivery Guy}God you're being a handful.if you're this bloodthirsty you're not gonna become a big Hollywood star ! I'll teach you good starting now ! {Ban}Wait ! {Ban}Kenichi ! Are you all right ? {K}Yes. The person from City Hall all of a sudden... {Ban}What City Hall ? It's gotta be one of Kuttah's men, no doubt ! {Ban}It's been a while since I exercised that much. {K}Uncle, I'm worried, so can I go as far as the Safari Park too ? {Ban}Well, I guess it can't be helped. {K}Really ? Yeah, all right ! {Ban}When it's actually time to say goodbye how it's tough,.ouch. {Ban}There was no other choice since you grew so much. {Ban}Shiro, don't be upset. {K}Excuse me. {Stewardess}Yes ? {K}Where is the cargo room ? {S}I'd say about right below your feet. That's a really cute lion. {K}Th-thanks ! {K}Shiro, only a while longer ! {K}In a little while, we're going to be in your homeland, Africa ! {K}I'm so glad, Shiro ! {Kuttah}I'm counting on you, Bread ! I'll be waiting for you in Hollywood. {K}Uh, I wonder where the quarantine inspection area is ? {Bread}I'll take you there. {K}Uh.yes. {Bread}I'm zoologist Professor Plum. {K}I'm Kenichi. I'm here with my friend lion. {K}A person from the Safari Park is meeting me in the quarantine inspection area. {Bread}Well what a coincidence. I'm about to go the Safari Park for a research on lions. {Bread}I've been there many times. {K}Then I can go with you ! {Ralph}That's a good disguise, a professor ! {B}Your voice is too loud ! He'll hear us in the back ! {B}Ralph, how did you manage to squeeze in at the Safari Park? {R}If Kuttah-san tells me to, I can't help it. {B}And any further calls ? {R}I guess the arrangement at the harbor is complete. {B}Then shall we go straight through the savanna to the harbor ? {R}What do we do with the kid ? {B}It's a big savanna. If one child disappears, it wouldn't be a surprise. {R}You're so scary. {K}Shiro, this is the savanna ! {K}This is the Africa you dreamed of ! {Eliza}Under those clouds is Africa. {Leo}I have come back in Africa ! {Eliza}Leo, take after your father and become a great lion ! {R}Wanna do it soon ? {B}That's fine. {R}It's smugglers ! {Supervisor}Are you okay ? Was anyone hurt ? {R}Damn ! It's the supervisor ! This is getting messy. {B}Dammit. {S}You seem to be carrying a rare white lion, and we wouldn't want something to happen again, so we'll guard. {B}Thanks for the help. {S}Poor thing, we've got less and less wild animals in Africa as it is. They're going to become extinct soon if continues like this. {B}Oh well, I guess we'll have to do something at the Safari Park. {Man}There is a -hour watch here to protect against smugglers and other dangers. {Man}Of course there is plenty for the animals to eat. There is no better place for animals to live than here. You don't have to worry. {K}But Shiro. I mean the animals don't have freedom. {Man}Freedom ? But son, compared to safety, freedom is secondary. {B}Well this park is indeed a paradise for animals. {Man}Yes yes you're right. {B}I'm Professor Plum. {Man}Welcome. This is your first time isn't it ? {K}What ? {B}Uh, well, I've been here once before, a long time ago. {Man}Oh I see, I'm sorry. {B}Um, I'd like to use your phone. {Man}That's strange, I usually remember anyone I've met. {B}Hello, this is Professor Plum. No no, that's right. The white lion is in the Safari Park right now. I'm sorry, a lot has happened, no, that's not an excuse ! What, you're leaving tomorrow ? {K}Oh.it's him ! {B}I understand. I'll do something by tonight. {Old man}Damn. {Leo}Are you okay ? {Old Man}I messed it up again. And I was just about to climb over the mountain too....Hey, hey, don't look at me so pitying. are you from ? {Leo}From really far away. I was with humans for a long time. {Old Man}I see, you were raised by humans. {Leo}What ? "Raised by" ? {Old Man}It's being caged and fed and displayed all your life. {Leo}It can't be. This is Africa, where my father used to be ! {Old Man}Father ? {Leo}My father is a white lion named Panja. {Old Man}Panja ? Now that I think about it you have a white body too ! {Leo}You know my father ? {Old Man}Of course I know him ! He was very brave, He protected animals with his life from being shot or caught by humans. {Old Man}If you are Panja's child, then you cannot stay here. You'll be displayed to humans all your life ! {Leo}What ? {Old Man}Whatever way possible, get out of here and go to the jungle ! {Leo}Then this is not the jungle ? {Old Man}God no ! {B}Tomorrow morning ? ? {R}Kuttah-san demands impossible things as usual. {B}If it's gonna be like this then we can't help getting a little rough. {Old Man}The jungle where Panja lived was a more wonderful free place ! {K}Shiro ! If you stay here it's dangerous ! Escape fast ! {Man}W-who are you guys ? {B}Shut up ! Just hand over the keys ! {K}Those guys ! They're working for Kuttah ! {K}Come on now ! {Leo}Mister ? {Old Man}My legs are hurt. Never mind and go ! Let's meet again in Panja's woods someday ! {Leo}We'd better ! It's a promise ! {K}Shiro, what are you doing ? Hurry up ! {R}Oh no, it's escaped ! {B}Crap! We're not going to let it run away ! {B}Go faster ! {K}Shiro, don't worry about me and go ! {K}Shiro ! {Heli}Don't move ! Put down your weapons ! {B}Damn. {H}Stop resisting ! {H}Kenichi-kun, you can relax now, we've arrested the two men. So come down now ! {K}Shiro, what do you want to do ? {K}You're right. You should live freely in a bigger place. {K}Shiro, gotta say goodbye here. {K}Now, go on ! {K}Shiro run ! Go the jungle ! Don't look back ! {K}Shiro.goodbye ! {Supervisor}You may have felt you freed the lion cub,but for it to live in the wild is going to be terrible work. {K}If it's Shiro, then he can do it. {S}I hope so.

Now I get it. {Leo}What ? {Vulture}Hmph, there's no groups here ! Strong ones kill, and weak ones are eaten. {Vulture}That's the rule ! {Leo}I won't believe anything YOU say ! {Vulture}Heh !

Humans are coming ! {Hamegg}Slow down ! {Hamegg}I thought I saw a black panther. {Driver}Well you should go and look at the traps. It's getting awfully cloudy. {H}You're right. {Tony}Damn ! You follow that white lion ! If you fly over him, it'll be a good marker. {Vulture}Aye aye. {Tony}I'm gonna go to Bubu-sama's place. I'm counting on you ! {Vulture}Yes ! {Tony}Please help me ! {Coco}Jump.

It is now heading for the inland jungles. {Hamegg}Hey, hurry up ! We're chasing that white lion ! {Driver}Don't. If we don't go back into town, that tornado's gonna get us ! {H}Shut up ! We've still got time before that comes near us ! {D}But... {H}What's the matter ? Suddenly a chicken. That's not like you. {D}You don't know the frightening power of a tornado. Only people who've been hurt by one know. {H}Okay then I'm going by myself. {D}S...stop it ! You're going to leave me here ? {H}I've got no other choice. {D}A...all right then. {D}But, if it gets dangerous then I'm running. {H}I know. {H}Heh ! That tornado would be gone once in the jungle ! {Leo}Hey ! Wait for me ! {Leo}I won't do anything ! {Tony}How do I know ? {Vulture}Just like I told you ! There's no friends here ! Even if you save them this is what happens ! {Leo}Shut up ! Hey ! I really won't do anything ! {Tony}Because you're full right now you say that, but once you get hungry... {Leo}I'm super hungry right now. {Vulture}Go ahead and run now and get tired. Pretty soon you'll be eaten by Bubu-sama ! {Vulture}But man, I've gotta hurry ! {Leo}Wait ! I just want to ask where my father's forest is ! {C}Little bit more, just a bit more ! {Buru}This little shrimp ? {Totto}Yes ! {B}It's you who claim to be the son of Panja ? {Leo}That's right. I'm Leo. {B}Thanks a lot ! {Vulture}Oh...no problem ! I've always been protected under Bubu-sama so... {B}But this little thing wouldn't fill a stomach would it ? {Vulture}Oh, no not at all ! {B}Keep a watch there so no one disturbs us ! {Vulture}Yes sir ! That tornado worries me a little bit but Bubu-sama would get this done before it comes, I'm sure ! {B}I'm counting on you ! {B}Why did you come back ? {Leo}Come back ? Then this is father's, I mean Panja's forest ? {B}I'm going to tell you. The forest is far back beyond this, but it's not Panja's forest. {B}That forest, it is mine. {B}It is Bubu's forest ! {B}Look at this eye ! I lost it when I fought with Panja ! Now it's my turn to pay back for me and my father ! {Tony}Stop right there ! I don't think so... {Tony}Oh Leo... ! {Coco}We have to do something ! {Tony}I've heard from my father before that Panja-san was very brave and fought to protect everyone.D That Leo is doing it now... {B}You can't run anymore. {B}Get ready ! {Vulture}I'm very sorry Bubu-sama ! I was distracted by the tornado... {Tony}Bubu-sama ! Please get away ! {Vulture}The tornado is getting near ! If you don't run away soon, it'll be too late ! {Hamegg}God, can't you drive straight ! {Driver}I can't do this anymore ! We have to get away ! {H}It's a great chance, no way I'm letting it get through my fingers ! {C}Hurry, hurry up ! {H}Wh...what are you doing ? ! {D}If we stay any longer we'll die ! {Leo}Hey ! {Coco}Yeah !

You can fit can't you ? Go ! {Totto}Yes sir ! {Leo}Oh, Otto is chasing us ! {Tony}Let's hurry ! {C}Come on everyone ! {Tony}It's okay now. {Leo}Thanks. {Tony}I'm a coward so I always know where to get away. {Leo}You're not a coward ! You had the courage to jump in front of Bubu to save me. {Tony}Well I was desperate then. {Leo}I am too when I'm doing something. {C}Look ! It's Panja's forest ! {Song} Meguriaete yokatta (I'm glad we met) Konna hiroi sekai de (In this vast world) Kimi to ikiru ichinichi wa (A single day I live with you) Kitto asu mo kirameku hazu nano (Should make tomorrow shine bright too) Ima orange iro no hi ga shizumu kara (Because the orange-colored sun sinks now) Futari no silhouette yubae ni nare (Our silhouette, become the glow of the sunset0 Mabushii (How bright) Yubae ni nare (Become the glow of the sunset) The End
