Look outside.
This is the Sakura Cosmos.
My ship soars through outer space!
Outer space…
This is outer space?
Awesome!
You see, there are all kinds of things in space.
Right now, we're in Sakura Cosmos--
-Rebecca. -What?
They were all my friends.
They all lost their marbles at the end,
but they were all my friends!
I've made up my mind!
I'll make 100 friends throughout the universe!
A GIRL AND HER BLUE CAT
Wow!
Boxes…
I wonder what these boxes are.
Wow!
Welcome to Rebecca and Happy's…
-Aoneko Channel! -Aoneko Channel!
-Meow-wow! -Meow!
"Me-wow"?
Don't copy us!
What? He was copying us?
Happy, can you handle spicy foods?
Yes, I don't mind them.
This is called B-Cube.
You use this dice-like thing to record videos, upload them,
and watch them.
…and wear them!
-Not eat them? -Right.
We make and upload videos.
We're also called "B-Cubers."
Lots of people watch them and we get paid for it!
This is awesome!
Let's have another exciting time today!
Too bad!
If you try to see my panties, it automatically corrects the angle.
"B-Cubers," you say?
I guess you could say my job
is to go to different planets and make lots of interesting videos.
Sorry.
Humans are our enemy.
We're friends!
We are machines.
We cannot be your friends.
Shiki…
I'll make a hundred…
No. In fact, I'll make way more friends than that in the universe!
On all the different planets!
Yes!
So we're heading to planet Blue Garden now
and we'll register you as an adventurer.
An adventurer?
Right! Think of it as a passport that'll get you to all kinds of planets.
The planet is full of immigrants, so anyone can register.
Adventurer…
That has an exciting ring to it!
Meow-wow!
Enough of that already!
So what should I do?
Let's see.
Why don't you be our bodyguard for the time being?
Bodyguard?
It can get dangerous while trying to make content for rad vids.
You're a really good fighter.
You can use that Ether Gear too!
I'd feel a lot safer having you around!
-I'm in! -That settles it!
Looking forward to it!
We're here!
That's Blue Garden, the planet of adventurers.
Awesome!
There are gigantic buildings everywhere!
You don't have to shout!
This is the Adventurers Guild, Shooting Starlight.
You can register as an adventurer here.
Wow!
Are you ready?
Your adventure's about to begin!
The start of my adventures!
Humans…
Humans!
Look at all the people!
Surprised?
I'll go and touch them!
No!
You'd scare them off.
Why are you wearing glasses?
Well, I am a B-Cuber, after all.
So I'm famous.
But we don't get many views.
I see…
I wonder if I can be friends with everyone here.
It would be great if you could.
While there are good people, there are bad people as well.
Furthermore, most people don't care about strangers.
Are you a human?
You must be a man.
You're really muscular!
There he goes!
Oh, great.
Be my friend!
Cut that out!
Stop saying, "Be my friend," wherever you go!
I doubt any human would be your friend when you act like that.
What?
Who's that?
That's Mother.
Mother?
And somewhere in the vast universe,
there is a being called Mother.
Mother?
Mother grants any wish.
That's Mother?
What's wrong?
Grant my wish!
Give me lots of friends!
And…
Michael and the others…
Let us…
Shiki…
Let us be friends again!
What's with that dude?
He must have a loose screw.
Shiki.
That's just a hologram of Mother. It's not the real Mother.
What?
They say she's actually way bigger than that.
She's a woman somewhere in the universe, and she's bigger than any star.
Nobody knows why she exists. She's a mysterious being.
All we know is that long ago, she happened to be found by
an adventurer who left the Sakura Cosmos.
I see.
In time, adventurers started to worship her
as the goddess of the universe who could grant any wish.
That's why she's displayed at this guild.
I'd like to meet her.
Wait. In fact,
I get the feeling I've met her.
-What? -What?
Did you hear that? We've got a dude here who says he's met Mother!
A real grand hero!
Mother? You sure you're not thinking of your own mommy?
What a load of baloney!
There's been tons of guys claiming they've met Mother!
But they all turned out to be full of hot air!
Mother is outside of the Sakura Cosmos.
Nobody knows exactly where she is.
There's no way a brat like you could go see her!
Hey, you guys!
I totally get what you're saying!
At any rate, be my friends!
What?
You totally don't get it!
He wants to be friends!
I can't take it!
If you want friends, go ask your mommy!
What are you doing? Hey!
You can't go around saying you've met Mother!
I mean, you even said that that you'd never left Granbell!
I'm not sure why, but it just seemed like I had.
Why did those guys laugh?
Won't they be my friends?
No, of course not.
Are you serious?
There's no need to rush it.
Remember what I said?
While there are good people, there are bad people as well.
Isn't that right, Happy?
Aye!
Rebecca!
Happy!
This cat is from planet Exceed, right?
Let me have him. I mean, I've already got him.
Hey! Let me out of here!
-So long, suckers! -Rebecca!
Happy!
That darn friend thief!
You'll pay for this!
Yahoo!
Rebecca!
Give back Happy!
Give me back Happy!
A kitty. Are you lost?
Are you hungry?
Aye.
Are you alone?
Aye.
Me too. I'm all alone too.
Stop!
What the heck is with this guy?
Give back Happy!
Crap!
You won't get away!
A man!
A woman!
Not like Rebecca.
A man. He looks like Grandpa.
A man! That dude's scrawny!
That woman's huge!
Man!
Woman!
-Not sure about you! -What?
There sure are different kinds of humans.
But I do know one thing.
While there are good people, there are bad people as well.
You are…
one of the bad ones!
Magimech Attack!
Gravity Center!
They fell from the sky!
This isn't a fake!
-Shit! -Run!
Happy! Are you all right?
-Aye… -"Happy"?
What a dumb name you've got.
It is not dumb!
Rebecca gave me this name!
Happy!
What's your name?
I don't have one.
Then I'll give you a name.
You make me happy because I finally have a friend,
so I'll call you "Happy!"
Happy!
Hey!
Give back Happy!
Hey, there!
What's all the noise about?
Boss!
A human?
He's a man, and he's huge!
Look at this! It's a cat from the planet Exceed!
Wow! This is top-notch!
Give me back Happy!
Rebecca!
Dang! Now that's a hot babe!
She's hot!
Hey! I've seen her before!
You know, she's that B-Cuber…
Yes! The one who goes, "Sproing!"
Right! "Sproing!"
It's "Meow-wow!"
Cats from the planet Exceed fetch a good price.
It's wasted on brats like you!
Happy is our friend!
That's right! He's our friend!
Quit trying to act tough, you brats.
You brats!
If you even leave a single scratch on Happy…
I'll make you pay!
How come you were all alone, Happy?
I don't know. I must have been abandoned.
What about you, Rebecca?
I think I was too.
But I'm not the least bit lonely now!
Because I've found you, Happy!
Aye!
Let's always be together.
Aye! We'll always be together.
-Shiki! -Stand back.
What's going on? He's sliding along the ground!
Is he some kind of sliding master?
That dude's got some crazy moves!
That's Ether Gear.
Isn't that a power from the Dark Ages?
We're screwed!
I like it!
Killing someone with Ether Gear will boost my reputation!
What's with that gun?
In the center of town?
Watch out!
Boss! Chill out!
Is your boss right in the head?
Happy!
Rebecca!
What happened?
A drunk driver rammed his truck into the building.
Are you all right?
The girl is okay.
But the cat that's with her…
Happy…
Why?
You said we'd always be together!
Happy!
Put that down. It's filthy.
Come now! Be more sensitive!
He's not filthy!
Happy is my friend!
Give him back! Please!
Give me back Happy!
Please, God!
I'll never let you go! I swear it!
Rebecca!
That bastard!
Let's do this, Rebecca!
What?
-What? -What?
Happy?
You've got a lot of nerve, kidnapping my Happy.
Bitch! That cat is--
You're going to pay, Ducky!
"Ducky"?
Goddamn brats!
Every shot is a headshot!
All a gun needs is a good firing output!
Check out this firepower!
-They're floating! -They're floating!
Shiki!
Easier to aim now, right?
These Happy Blasters have a damn good firing output too, Ducky!
Moron!
Boss!
It might hurt a little,
but you won't die since they're Ether Bullets!
I don't think you needed a bodyguard.
Happy, I didn't know you were a bot.
-Aye! -That's awesome!
You're more lifelike than the bots back in Granbell.
There are lots of bots like me.
That guy's an android too.
No way! That's not a human?
A long time ago, Happy got into an accident.
Aye. I was turned into a robot.
But Happy will always be Happy.
-Right? -Right?
I'm…
I'm a machine now, Rebecca.
I'm…
Happy!
Aren't you afraid of me?
Of course, I'm not!
You're still you, Happy!
But now I look like this.
I don't care what you look like! We'll be together forever!
We're friends!
You can be friends with anyone!
It doesn't matter if you're a human or a machine!
Why the creepy smile?
Creep.
You can be mean sometimes, you know.
Come on. Let's get going.
We've got to get you registered.
You totally got us off course.
That's for sure!
It's not my fault!
Princess!
Cut the shouting. You want me to kill you?
I'm sorry!
But there's an emergency!
The Demon King's son, or maybe his grandson,
has left Granbell!
Are you certain?
Yes! He was seen in Blue Garden.
Then the time has finally come.
We're going to Blue Garden.
