Tokyo
Edo
There he is!
Nezumi Kozou! You're under arrest!
I'd like to see you try.
He's running!
Don't let him get away!
It's ten years too early for you to catch me.
Ouch... What was that just now?
Nezumi Kozou, your luck ends here.
Restrain him!
That hurts!
That's enough of tha-
I've finally found you, thief.
Hey, hey. Kids shouldn't wander outside at night.
What do you want with Nezumi Kozou?
That's not it.
The one I'm actually looking for... is you!
Aren't those the treasures that I stole?
You took them!
Now! Show your real identity,
Temporal Thief Suginami!
Temporal Thief Suginami is here!
I'll be taking these treasures!
Those moves and that disguise... It seems you aren't an ordinary person.
So, just who are you?!
T.P. Evolve Change!
Travelling through time, rewriting history and defeating evil!
T.P. Sakura has arrived!
hana no inochi wa mijikaku tomo utsukushiku kagayaki chiritai...
Even though the life of a flower is short, it remains beautiful and radiant as it withers
jigen no kabe wo koete sakebu kono koe ga todoku made breaking to the sky
I scream through the walls of dimensions, breaking to the sky until it reaches you
mune wo atsuku kogasu hodo yume wa takaku tsuyoku
When my heart burns and turns warm, my dream is even stonger
ryoute hiroge kaze ukete tsubasa ni kawaru
My arms turn into wings as I spread them and embrace the wind
furueru te wo nigirishime hikari sasu kanata made
Grasping at my shaking hands until the far end where light shines
kimi to ayumu mirai wa nani yori mo taisetsu na kiseki
The future where I walk alongside you is a miracle more important than anything else
amagake te hashiru sengoku no
Flying through the skies of the Warring States, evil hides at the end of space-time
jikuu no hate ni aku wa hisomi
yobisamasu kako no tsumi no kioku hito wa yasashi sugi te...
Recalling the memories of their past sins, mankind was too gentle
hana no inochi wa mijikaku tomo utsukushiku kagayaki chiritai...
Even though the life of a flower is this short, it remains beautiful and radiant as it withers
jigen no kabe wo koete sakebu kono koe ga todoku made breaking to the sky!
I scream through the walls of dimensions, breaking to the sky until it reaches you
Wait!
Hold it right there, Temporal Thief Suginami!
If you want me to stop, use your power to force me, Ochibi-san.
He's mocking me... I'll show him what I'm really capable of!
Flash Arrow!
What's that!?
You screwed up, huh?
What spectacular destruction...
And I thought a T.P. was supposed to protect history.
Hey! You shouldn't have dodged it!
It's not good to abandon your responsibilities, Ochibi-san.
I won't forgive you any longer!
Giant Punch!
It's no use.
W-What?!
Temporal Thief Suginami. You're under arrest for violation of time leap and theft of several items.
You really are something for having cornered me thus far.
What's with that easy-going attitude?
It's disgusting!
Don't let your guard down. He might have something up his sleeve.
Exactly.
Nemu, Miharu!
Miharu, help Suginami-sama.
Understood, Nemu-senpai!
Too bad, T.P. Sakura!
I'll be getting the last laugh!
I won't let that happen!
No!
I'll take the treasure back!
You... Remember this!
He's quick at running away.
Well, at least we recovered the things he stole.
Mission complete.
We all get a happy ending!
Hatsunejima
Sakunomiya Shrine
Historical Continuity Defensive Department Headquarters
Just what did you do?!
Destroying the crime scene is an error unacceptable for a new T.P.
Do you know how much work it takes just to maintain the coherence of history?
But Grandma...!
I'm not your Grandma here!
Chief, that was... unavoidable.
Right, Archimedes?
This has nothing to do with me.
What? You traitor!
Quiet!
All right, Sakura? T.P.'s are the protectors of history.
We have the important mission of stopping those who wish to rewrite or destroy history,
by connecting all the time periods and crossing the gates of space-time into a multitude of eras.
Besides that, you're also a member of the Yoshino family.
One day, you will lead the Historical Continuity Defensive Department.
For that, you need to be more self-conscious.
I didn't become a T.P. because I wanted to.
Sakura!
Grandma was lecturing me for so long. I'm going to be late!
Hurry up, Ojou.
Ah, it's Jun'ichi-kun!
Jun'ichi-kun!
Good morning, Sakura-chan.
I'm so touched!
You kept waiting for me even though we're about to be late.
Is it already that late?
I lost track of time reading.
Is that so?
It looks like your job as a T.P. is just as busy as ever.
Only you and I know about that secret.
Yeah, I know.
Keep it a secret, but I just came back from the Edo Period.
I still haven't had breakfast.
Then take this. It's a reward for your hard work.
Ah, daifuku!
Delicious!
You two! What are you doing?!
Are you okay, Sakura-chan?
I thought I was about to die...
It's against school rules to eat on your way to class.
Suginami!
To break the rules in front of the student council president... You two must be true delinquents.
No way... It's a bit much to call us "delinquents."
That's right!
Even a small misstep could lead to committing a crime!
As punishment, you must write ten pages of kanji!
Are you two prepared to travel to hell?
President, what are you doing?
Oh, it's Jun'ichi-kun and Sakura-chan.
Nee-san.
Nemu-chan, help us!
Oh, my. What's the matter?
What? Do you know these two, Nemu?
Yes. That's my brother and Sakura-chan.
I see. I'm lecturing these two right now.
I see.
Let me take over from here, then.
You should hurry and head to school. It'll be a bother if you're late.
You're absolutely right.
As a model student, I cannot allow myself to be late.
Sorry, I'll leave the rest to you.
Okay.
Let's go, Wanko.
Yeah!
Be quiet!
Thank you, Nemu-chan!
You saved us!
You're welcome.
We should get going, too.
Ah, good morning, Kotori-chan.
Good morning.
You two had a close call, huh?
You were caught by the President.
I hate him!
No good can come from somebody named Suginami.
Just like that, the Battle of Sekigahara was won by Commander Tokugawa Ieyasu's Eastern Army.
Well done.
So, Yoshino-san, in what year did the Battle of Sekigahara occur?
Umm... I don't know.
In 1637...
Even though it was part of T.P.'s history, as well...
What a shame.
That's me. That's me.
He's up next! I get to hold hands with Jun'ichi-kun the next time we rotate!
May I have this dance?
Yes, my pleasure.
Here he comes, Jun'ichi-kun!
What's the matter? Hurry up and hold out your hands.
Why are you just standing there?
W-Why...?
Why are you here?!
It sounds like you didn't listen to your teacher.
We are having practice together today.
No way!
What's your problem?!
You step like a goose with a stomach ache!
Can't you dance any better?!
Sorry about that.
Oh, don't worry about it!
Sorry, did I spin you too fast?
Kotori-chan, please.
Here. I'll give you a little extra, Sakura-chan.
Thank you!
I love you, Kotori-chan!
I want to hurry and eat up!
No way!
Ojou, it's an order for us to move out.
I still haven't eaten anything!
I couldn't even eat lunch!
I'm starving to death!
Hang in there. This is also a test of your ability as a T.P.
I can't take it anymore!
I wouldn't have missed breakfast if I wasn't a T.P.!
I'd have snacks, too!
Only those in the Yoshino Family can use the powers of space-time.
It is your destiny to become a T.P.
Don't talk like Grandma.
I'm hungry!
Sakura-chan.
Jun'ichi-kun.
Here, I grabbed them for you.
Ah, thanks! You're my hero, Jun'ichi-kun!
These, too. They're desserts I made.
They're so pretty, and they look delicious!
I'm so glad!
What's the matter?
I like it.
I like the way you look when you eat, Sakura-chan.
Oh, that's what you meant...
It's because you looked so happy.
My dream is to become a great pastry chef and make wagashi that can bring a smile like that to everyone.
Then, I'll become someone who will protect that smile.
Middle School Student Council Room
Even though I'm called Temporal Thief Suginami, this one book is all I have stolen.
What book is that?
It looks like a bible.
Geronimo?
It's a Christian name.
This could be the bible of Amakusa Shirou.
Amakusa Shirou... You mean the one from the Shimabara Uprising?
Yes. He was a Christian who rebelled against the bakufu in 1637.
Excuse me.
Oh, Jun'ichi-kun.
Welcome!
Um, I've brought the printouts for the survey.
Oh, good work.
Are you all right?
What's the matter?
I-It's nothing.
I need to head out again?
What's wrong, Sakura-chan?
I'm sorry, Kotori-chan. I'll leave the rest to you!
I'm leaving!
Have a safe trip.
My duties are complete. My time as a student council president is now over.
From here on, it's time for Temporal Thief Suginami!
I am the rat that travels through time to rescue the treasures destined to fade among the dark pages of history!
Now, let's head out! To the Edo Period!
Edo! Edo!
I wonder where Sakura-chan went so suddenly...
Do you know, Jun'ichi-kun?
N-No idea.
I see.
Sorry, Kotori-chan. The T.P.'s are a secret.
Jun'ichi-kun?!
A time wave has emerged and is expanding.
Target identified. It's a Time Eating Worm!
Declaring a threat to space-time.
Requesting to dispatch a T.P.
What's a Time Eating Worm?
They are worms born from the distortion of time.
They are dangerous beings that feed off of various things and damage history.
We must eliminate it before it grows.
Let's go, Archimedes.
I leave it to you, Sakura.
I've found you, the singularity that can change history.
This is...?
There is nothing to fear.
Now, let us become one.
A new time wave has materialized.
No way... Another Time Eating Worm?!
The signal has been lost.
It disappeared...?
Did you make a mistake?
I'm sorry...
For just a moment, a Time Eating Worm was detected in the present....
But there's no way that could be true.
What is T.P. Sakura's status?
She's currently searching the city of Edo!
Where could the Time Eating Worm be?
All right. The Elekiter will finally be complete.
Over there, Ojou!
Use this chance to run!
Is this the Time Eating Worm?
Yes. It seems to have possessed the Elekiter.
Watch out, Ojou!
It's going to launch an enormous attack!
In that case...!
Protective Wall!
Yes! We got it!
No, you don't!
Who...?!
We meet again, T.P. Sakura!
Temporal Thief Suginami!
Why are you getting in my way?!
That thing is Hiraga Gennai's Elekiter.
I won't let you destroy a historical treasure even if a Time Eating Worm has inhabited it.
I will protect it!
What? You are talk like you're an ally of justice!
Precisely! I am justice!
You're this arrogant, even though you're a thief!
You're under arrest, too!
The steps of mankind are the memories of time.
They cannot be reached now.
A world of endless greed and destruction.
Is this the final result of God's chosen path of history?
Wrong decisions must be corrected.
Let's go, Temporal Thief Suginami!
T.P. Transform!
Metal battle ship! Fire!
Yes, Sir! Miharu Beam!
Shield on!
Nice, Nemu!
We got him!
Ojou, the Time Eating Worm is getting away!
I won't let you!
Dimension Rifle!
Shoot!
How could this be...?
As if I would just let you destroy the treasures of history!
The Elekiter is still intact!
This is bad...!
Temporal Thief Suginami has been apprehended!
You...!
T.P. Sakura, please respond.
Ah? It's an emergency transmission.
Hello?
This is headquarters. We are under attack by an unknown enemy.
Please return immediately!
What's the situation?
The enemy has already breached the fifth gate!
It's about to enter headquarters!
What is it? For what purpose has it come here?
It's here!
This is terrible...
Grandma!
Grandma, hang in there!
Sakura, watch out...
No way... Why?
Jun'ichi-kun...
yasashii kaze ga hoo o nadeta
Under the shining sunlight on a calm day
odayaka na hi no komorebi no naka
The gentle breeze softly caressed my face,
hitomi o toji te kimi ni aeba
I wonder why I start smiling,
egao ni nareru doushite ka
as I shut my eyes and meet you
itsumo itsumo kimi o kanjite iru yo
I have always, always had feelings for you
sotto sotto taisetsu na omoi
They slowly, slowly became important to me
kagiri naku tsuzuku michi ga aru no nara
If there is a path that eventually must end
kimi to te o tsunaide doko e demo
I would go anywhere, holding your hand
donna toki mo mamotte ageru yo
I would protect you anytime
dakara koko ni ite
That's why you should stay here
boku no soba ni ite hoshii
I want you to stay by my side
