Wait...
Wait up, Kaoruko!
Oh, come on, Azuma. If you're gonna cry, then just go home.
No way!
Then quit whining and keep up.
Remember, I'm gonna be getting that from Mommy.
I'm... I'm the one she's giving it to!
Nope. You'll never get it, Azuma.
Why not?
Because...
You can't do this, can you?
Awesome, right? You'd better not tell Mommy.
You'll regret it if you do.
Okay...
Here. This is yours.
I don't want that stupid toy.
There he is! Oubu!
Come on, Kaoruko.
Let's go back now.
It smells just like Mommy...
Don't, Kaoruko! Mom said it's dangerous!
That hurts! Stop it, Azuma!
Mom! Mom!
Mom!
Go away. You'll scare off the fish.
All right. This should be enough.
Azuma! Kaoruko! I'm home!
Welcome home!
Thanks.
Oh, my. Looks like you two are having fun.
Mommy! Welcome home!
- Mommy! Mommy! - Welcome home, Mom!
You're early today.
It'd be nice if the Buranki were like this every day.
Happy birthday! Happy birthday!
Happy birthday, Azuma and Kaoruko!
They're both six today, huh?
- Hey! Why'd you blow them out?! - Yes.
A Buranki!
Mommy, are the Buranki asleep?
Yes. They walk around in their sleep.
That's why we must never wake them.
What happens if they wake up?
Don't worry. I'll be keeping an eye out.
Now, let's go finish our dinner.
You won't last long like this.
You should go down to the surface and get checked out.
I can't leave right now.
The Buranki have been more active lately.
If only I had the power that you and the kids have...
Don't worry. I'll manage one way or another.
Maybe they should start practicing how to use Oubu tomorrow.
Yeah, I agree.
Kaoruko?
Oh, no...
Did she go to see Oubu?
It won't be like last time.
Mom told us to stay away from Oubu!
So why would she go, after it was so scary last time?
Mommy can't use Oubu anymore.
So I'll use it for her!
Why won't you move?
Why?! Come on, move!
Or can't you do what I tell you to?
Kaoruko!
What are you doing?
Too bad for you, Azuma.
I'm the one who'll ride Oubu.
And then I'm gonna kill all the Buranki.
You can't!
I'll save the world with Oubu, like Mommy did.
Kaoruko!
You don't understand anything, Azuma!
If I don't hurry, Mommy's going to die!
That's...
Azuma! Kaoruko!
If you're there, answer us!
Azuma! Kaoruko!
- Mom... - Mommy! Mommy!
It's all right now. It'll be all right.
Migiwa, let's go home for now.
Azuma, Kaoruko.
Come down. There's nothing to be afraid of.
There was a Buranki under our house?
It's all right. This Buranki is sound asleep.
How does it look?
Migiwa?
It's all right.
I'll do something about it.
Azuma, Kaoruko, I want you both to listen closely.
You're going to go to where your dad and I were born.
What about you, Mommy? Aren't you going with us?
There's something I need to do here.
No, Mom!
Come with us!
Now, Azuma, you're the big brother.
You must be strong.
I'm sorry, Mommy! I... I...
It's okay.
You were trying to help me.
I know that.
Mommy...
If you run into any trouble, just join hands.
If you two work together, you can handle anything.
Mommy?
Take care of them.
Mom? Mom!
Mommy! Mommy!
I love you, Azuma.
- I love you, Kaoruko. - No! Don't go!
- Mommy! Mommy! - Mom! Mom!
- Mommy! Mommy!
I know the two of you will be fine.
Bubuki Buranki Episode 1 - The Witch's Son
Whoa...
Hey!
Don't move. Hands in the air.
Damn, he gave us a hell of a time.
Kazuki Azuma?
That's the same family name as that witch.
She's not a witch.
Huh?
She's not a witch!
Azuma-kun's late.
He should have gotten my letter.
He hasn't been in Japan for a long time. I wonder if he's lost.
Azuma-kun?
Th-Th-This is terrible!
Ten years have passed since that unprecedented tragedy.
I'm sure life has calmed down for all of you,
and you are once again enjoying days of peace.
However, that peace is short-lived.
Uh...
{6}We must take care to ensure that such a tragedy does not happen again.
Reoko-sama, is this seat all right?
Rotten luck to get brought in the day you come back to Japan, eh, witch's son?
I never would've believed you were really Kazuki Migiwa's kid.
Then you must have the heart.
So, where are you hiding that heart?
What heart?
Trying to play dumb?
The heart! The heart Bubuki!
We have a reading on it!
What's this about a heart and "Bubuki"?
I don't get it.
You saw the memorial ceremony, didn't you?
On this day ten years ago, your mother sent a Buranki down to Earth.
Do you realize how much damage that caused?
No... My mom...
My mom...
Give us the heart!
Cough up the Bubuki, you damned witch's spawn!
A Bubuki?!
Bubuki?
Righty-chan!
Jeez... Stay! Stay!
Calm down, Righty-chan!
Kogane-chan?
Yeah! Long time no see, A-chan!
Yeah, it really has been ages!
Kogane-chan, what is this?
It's a Bubuki. The hand of a Buranki.
Bubuki...
Buranki?
A hand?
Ah... We have to get out of here!
I'll explain it better later!
Okay, sure.
Well, that should do it.
I want to eat some grass.
I'll give you all the grass you want to eat later.
And lots of eggplants, please!
Sure, sure. Eggplants. No problem.
I finally found where it was hidden.
I swear I'll get it back.
"Anger and grief will yield nothing."
- A Bubuki user has broken through the gate. - "We should just forget all that."
I'm sure many of you feel that way.
However, over these ten years,
I have not...
You loathsome monsters...
I can't believe they chose today of all days.
Reoko-sama, would you leave those brats to me?
Do as you please, Shuusaku.
Give it your best effort.
I've got this!
Sorry! I guess that was a bit much!
Huh? Hii-kun?
Kogane, who told you to go nuts like that?
B-But A-chan got taken in by the police.
A-chan, this is the guy I wanted you to meet today.
I'm Nono Hiiragi. I'm a Bubuki user.
I've been waiting for you, coward.
Hey! Hii-kun!
Well, it's true.
He's a wimp who ran to hide outside the country all this time.
I didn't run. I've been searching the whole time.
Searching? For what?
Nothing I want to tell anyone about.
Hmph. Are you trying to mock me?
Well, whatever. If the Bubuki Police caught you,
they told you about ten years ago, right?
Yeah.
Everything they say is a big fat lie.
History was rewritten by Banryuu Reoko,
and your mother, Migiwa, was framed as a mass murderer.
We're going to revive your mother's Buranki, Oubu,
and show the world the truth.
Oubu? You found Oubu?
Yeah.
That's why we've been waiting for today, the day of the memorial ceremony.
Help us, Kazuki Azuma, son of Migiwa.
It's your responsibility.
There's a convenience store on the roof of this building?
It's here for the maintenance staff. It's unmanned.
It's closed most of the time.
What's wrong? You look pale.
I don't really like heights.
Kino-chan! Shizuru-chan!
You're late.
Sorry, some stuff came up...
Hey! What are these?
They're so cute!
So you're... the one with the heart?
Talk later.
We don't have time. We're taking this underground.
Down... to the Buranki prison.
Damn... The enemy's coming.
Heading for the Buranki prison?
I'm afraid that's not possible.
Not with a bunch of kids' Bubuki.
No way... No way...
Have a taste of a grown-up's Bubuki.
Kogane! Don't get hasty!
Kogane-chan!
Shizuru!
Schwing!
Ka-zing!
Th-This is a Bubuki?
Heh. Wuss.
Cough, cough...
He's...
Kogane, what are you doing?! Calm down!
Kino-chan, let go! Let go!
Crap!
Kinoa! Shizuru!
Is this...
Perfect! We landed in the water supply culvert!
The Buranki prison should be just upstream.
Just like the cowardly little children you are...
All you can do is run away.
Kinoa, Shizuru! We'll hold him off!
Don't just stand there! Go now!
But...
Isn't there something you need to do?!
Okay. I'm going.
You think I'll let you?
You murderer! You killed my father!
I won't let you kill anyone else!
You won't kill anyone else I care about!
Kogane-chan!
Just go! You're slowing us down!
Yeah, that's right.
Go revive Oubu...
For me.
All this time, I've been searching
for a way to see Mom again.
With Oubu... If I have Oubu...
I can make it back up to the sky!
It's nothing but bones!
Mom's Oubu...
