How about this guy?
Isn't this guy the one?
I have synced.
"Living in Japan is actually not bad at all."
Haha
This guy's preferred location is the African forest.
That's right, I have it here.
The western lowland gorilla.
Scientific name Gorilla gorilla gorilla
A mammal categorized in the primates order, hominidae family, and gorilla genus,
It is a specially-designated dangerous animal that inhabits wetlands of lower altitude areas.
That's what she meant by, "Living in Japan is actually not bad at all."
Reads the mind of a wild gorilla
What the hell...
This is a false arrest, right?
If you actually took us in, it'd be a false arrest, right?
That's true.
What about this man, in the middle..?
Is this man the perpetrator?
You're gonna get synced.
She's staring like crazy.
I have synced.
Good, good.
"Gee, I'm really fashionable."
What do you mean?
This man's private clothes...
He himself thinks they look good, but it's just
a shameless display of him being an ex-delinquent.
That's right, I have it here.
Despite being a super idol,
his private clothes are like those of
an unbelievably lame delinquent.
On top of that,
his junior who comes from the same hometown, SU of RIP SLYME,
is dissing the lameness of his clothes behind his back.
I wouldn't want...
I wouldn't want this to be revealed at a place like this.
Sees through an ex-delinquent's fashion sense
The worst problem is the hat.
Miss Kinomiya, this is serious.
This man wraps a bandana around his head and then wears a hat,
a style that's been seen only on
Chage of CHAGE and ASKA.
Even on the internet, it's a hot topic
that he looks just like Chage.
He looks so similar, seriously.
She synced.
Reads his mind and sees through the Chage style
It's not that similar.
I see. In that case,
you have nothing to do with the murder case, but
come to the station with us for a Chage crime!!
Let's go!!
Come to the station with us. We're gonna question you.
Nakai Masahiro to be questioned by the police for a Chage crime
Let's go.
Wait...
What?
He's gone?
What's going on?
He's already gone?
Everyone, we'll be arriving at the detective agency soon.
What!?
Seriously?
The bus holding the 5 shows itself.
This, however, is not the finish line.
A New Battleground
It is a new battleground.
We're here!!
We're finally here.
The Do Not Laugh venue:
Gaasuu Kurobikari Detective Agency.
The detective agency whose foundation is mystery-solving and laughter
An epic battle with the laughter assassins begins
At this detective agency, whose foundation is mystery-solving and laughter,
an epic battle with the laughter assassins begins.
It's your wife's birthday?
Yeah.
Arriving at the detective agency
We're here, everyone.
Then why didn't she...
She was syncing with you.
And you were yelling about...
"This is embarrassing."
"Stop it," you were saying.
There is no birthday though.
There is "no birthday?"
How can there be no birthday?
The loving husband completely plays dumb
What I meant was I was feeling sorry for people who might be tricked into believing that whole thing.
Let's go.
A loving husband.
That's a good thing.
That's a good thing, though, really.
This way.
This is the detective agency. Take a look at this.
This is the symbol of this detective agency.
It's impressive, isn't it?
Detective Agency Founder:
Suga-lock Holmes
This bronze sculpture has
a really profound legend to it.
Can you wait there?
He's not doing an explanation like he always does.
Sorry about that.
Transformed into a mini detective
Sorry to keep you waiting. I'll be explaining this statue, so make sure you're all listening, alright?
Who are you?
It's Fujiwara.
Come on.
Fujiwara, you've gotten smaller.
Yeah, he's a smaller size now.
For some reason, Hamada gets smacked twice
You hit my hand! What the hell, you fool!?
This is the sshhhh...
sshhhh...
Gaasuu Kurobikari Detective Agency's
bronze sculpture of Suga-lock Holmes the First.
Hol... Director Holmes was
an American bus... businessman and... I'm sorry
He's really similar to him.
He's just like Fujiwara.
The mini detective is faithful to the original
Don't do the "I'm sorry."
You can do it, you know it.
You're saying it, you got it.
You're doing fine, you're doing fine.
Okay, bye.
It looked like he changed...
Transformed back to Fujiwara
All right, let's go, everyone.
He's totally different.
Let's go.
Their sizes are just...
Gaasuu Kurobikari Detective Agency.
Agency Entrance
It's large.
It's impressive, isn't it?
Isn't this really large for a detective agency?
This is the foyer.
Wow.
It's spacious.
You're right. Wow.
1F Entrance
A detective agency...
A detective agency within an immense building
More traps await in the direction they are heading
A detective agency with an unbelievably large property.
Of course, more traps await them in the direction they are heading.
This will be your waiting room.
Let's go in.
Let's go in, everyone.
Whoa.
It's started.
Rookies' Training Room
It's started.
Take a look.
This is
the world famous masterpiece,
the Hama Lisa.
Masterpiece: The Hama Lisa
This painting has a market value in the billions of Yen.
There are times when his face looks like that.
He's not laughing that much.
Uh huh. This is... right.
He's not laughing.
He's not laughing that much.
Everyone, can you take a look at this?
This is a bronze sculpture of the first Great Thief X.
The first Great Thief X was
The First Great Thief X
the riv... eternal rival of the first director of Gaasuu Kurobikari Detective Agency,
The First Great Thief X
A master thief who was active worldwide
The eternal rival of Detective Suga-lock Holmes
Suga-lock Holmes.
Director Suga-lock Holmes
made this bronze sculpture of the first Great Thief X,
so that no one would never forget the passion of being a detective.
He's an enemy, right?
Right.
He's wearing a mask, but don't take it off, no matter what.
What?
Don't take off this mask.
Really?
Will everyone take a seat?
I'm gonna quickly go to the bathroom.
Yeah, me too.
I wanna go too, and it's hot.
Also, somehow,
before I knew it, my top has become
really small...
We don't really need that.
His coat was secretly switched with Nakai's
They gave him the wrong one. That's Nakai's.
They got mixed up.
That was the one Nakai was wearing.
Since Nakai was taken to the police station
for a Chage crime...
Why didn't you notice?
During that part, when I took it off, they switched it?
Detective Duty 2nd Hour
10 AM. Material that is a yearly tradition begins.
So these are the drawers, right?
Ggff
Well, according to the usual pattern, yeah.
You were totally laughing just now.
No, I wasn't laughing.
Yes, you were laughing.
I wasn't laughing.
It's the drawers, the time for them.
There's a DVD player there, Tanaka, so there's a good chance there'll be a DVD inside.
DVD Thai kick for 6 years straight
Hotel
Spy
Airport
Teachers
Defense Force
Great Prison Escape
Not this year again. There's been enough of that, come on.
But I'm actually in pants this year.
That's right. It breaks from the previous ones...
Maybe something's different, you know?
That's right.
On the 10th year...
I'm opening it now.
See?
It's right from the get-go.
Mystery DVD 2
Right from the get-go.
And it says "2."
They will just not waver on this one.
It says "2."
Nothing.
Is there a "1?"
Huh? Another one?
There it is: 1, 2.
Mystery DVD 1
1.
And a letter.
It looks like a letter. What is this?
What is that?
There's money inside.
5000 Yen?
One 5000 Yen bill
He gets to receive money, then.
I get to receive money?
This is a first, getting to receive money...
He simply gets to receive it?
Aaaah!
I've been saying to do it gently!
He simply gets to receive pocket money?
I simply get to receive pocket money?
That's what I think.
5000 Yen is realistic, too.
In terms of the standard for pocket money...
it seems like average allowance money
It might be an allowance
Then Matsumoto-san, please go ahead
Nothing's there
Oh, you're right
"only the owner..."
envelope that says "only the owner can look inside"
It says "only the owner can look inside"
So we can't look at it
What does it mean by "owner"?
Only Matsumoto-san can look inside
Ahh it's one pattern
Hey, don't look!!
Challenge letter from Kaijin Nijuu Mensou
Translator's note: Kaijin Nijuu Mensou is a recurring villain in Edogawa Rampo's books
Starting now, a top secret mission will be assigned to you only.
Do not leak what is written here to the other members!
Oh wow...
In under 10 minutes, led by your own words, make Tanaka-
You're not allowed to tell us, right?
Matsumoto, who talked about the top-secret mission?
How confusing!
What is the mission?
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay
No no no no
It's all just plainly written there
If only they
wrote the mission in red or something
Yes yes yes
Well I heard about doing something to me...
Top secret mission's "make Tanaka..." is exposed
You already heard it
Right
That's just
No it said "make Tanaka..."
We heard "make Tanaka...", and then you stopped
"Make Tanaka...", yes
So what happens to Tanaka?
Yes, yes.
We also heard something about "10 minutes"
10 minutes, yes
Don't worry about it,
Matsumoto's own
top-secret mission
challenge letter from Kaijin Nijuu Mensou
Within the next 10 minutes,
make Tanaka cry using your own words.
If you're unable to do it,
a "big science shock punishment" will be enforced on you.
The clock behind you has already started ticking.
clock behind him starts to count down
but Tanaka is... but...
Tanaka is really working hard...
Do you think so?
You're so insincere
with your animal book
Oh yes, I released that
Published by Shougakukan, or...
Actually it was Gakken
Translator's note: Gakken and Shougakukan are two publishers in Japan.
Oh, Gakken
Such attitude!
They seem like nice orders
I agree
Yes
If I have any idea, I think that
he wants to compromise
If Matsumoto hadn't said "make Tanaka...",
he would pull everybody in different directions to make his target unclear
This is written poorly too
but, about that encyclopedia with Gakken...
presented by Tanaka
Yes, I showed them
Oh, what did they think?
They said that their perspective on living things is different
You don't usually realize that, so
It seemed like that, yes
They thought everyone had the same point of view as them
Sure, and when your kids saw your book,
I think it instead changed the way that they look at you
You mean with that book?
Seeing your perspective on animals,
and releasing a book that shows them, "Our dad sees things like this",
changes the way that your kids
see their dad, I think
You figured it out by now, Tanaka
No I really didn't!
You definitely knew!
You knew!
You found out!
No no no
It seems like a difficult challenge
Your face is just telling him to cry
What a difficult challenge...
7 minutes have passed....
7 minutes later
Things like, "dad works really hard"
They won't say that to you directly, but I think they're definitely thinking it
Matsumoto's words don't affect Tanaka at all
Time is passing mercilessly
9 minutes passed
but the Tanaka that's here today...
you owe some of it to Endo
Definitely, that's very true,
because Endo told me,
"Hey let's do comedy."
I was able to become part of this world
I see, so Endo is remarkable too
10 seconds, 9, 8, 7....
Endo, say something
Endo, say something to Tanaka
Tell him what you're usually thinking!
You work really hard, thank you!
I failed the challenge, idiot!!!
Challenge Failed
No, I don't know what's going to happen.
There's some punishment
He's here
Wait, what is it?
"Big science shock"
"Big science shock"?
I'm scared
How scary
Big Science Shock procedure
You must hold the silver part of the cup.
Slowly take a drink
*If you're not drinking it, absolutely do not touch the cup
Oh wow, it seems scary
How scary!!
It says he has to drink it
I would hate to do this
Am I gonna die?
It says "shock"
I wouldn't wanna do this
Please don't die
Please, we're asking you
This is scary...
I don't know what will happen
What does it mean by "science shock"?
Big Science Shock procedure
You must hold the silver part of the cup.
Slowly take a drink.
*If you're not drinking it, absolutely do not touch the cup
So first, hold the silver part - wait are you drinking both or just one?
Anybody who is not drinking it can absolutely not touch the cup
It doesn't specify if you drink one or two cups
The silver part, right
how scary...
I'm REALLY scared right now
The color bothers me...
The scent is very minty
Yes
It's very strong
"Drink it slowly"
OWWWW!
OUUUUUUCH!!
MY LIPS HURT!!
MY LIPS HURT! OUCH
This is the worst!
My lips hurt! My lips hurt!
Science Shock
very powerful static electricity
MY LIPS HURT!!
They're tingling! My lips really hurt!!
OW OW OW MY LIPS HURT
Are they swollen?
They're swollen, aren't they!?
My lips are swollen right now, aren't they!?
OUCH
They look really swollen!!
What is this?
So it shocked you?
Like "BANG"
Yes
My lips are swollen aren't they?
No seriously, my lips are swollen, aren't they?
No, they're not swollen
Is it naturally like that?
Right there?
No, they're just shaped like that
My lips are super swollen
Then why are there two cups?
In case you mess up
Try it then
Absolutely not
After seeing that,
Definitely not!
there's no way we would do it
He was plainly laughing
It spilled everywhere
How many years have you been doing this?
No, so listen
What exactly was your mission?
What was it?
In 10 minutes,
Top-secret mission:
In 10 minutes, make Tanaka cry
using your own words
using your own words,
Yes...
make Tanaka cry
Make him cry?
Make me cry!?
That is very difficult
I thought I got pretty far
No, I wasn't close at all
Excuse me, but you weren't close at all
AAAAHHH!!!
I TOLD YOU TO DO IT GENTLYYYY!!!
They've been on duty for 2 hours and 30 minutes
On duty for 2 hours and 30 minutes
They are still experiencing surprises from the drawers
I really felt like
it felt like my lips got smashed by a piano lid
Shozo, open yours up
It's here
What!?
Again, this pattern
We know everything...
envelope that says "we know everything"
Look in the other ones
Every single year, it's this pattern
Especially since we're detectives this year
Ahh, these ones, right?
"We know everything" pattern?
Oh yeah, we are detectives
Yes
They've investigated for a year...
Again...
Endo's drawer
Weekly Photo Magazine
What is this again?
Um, not Monday...
What was it again?
Monday is M-O-...
M-O-N-....oh, that's "Mon"
This is just ridiculous
Seriously though?
M-O-N is pronounced, "m-oh-n" right?
Say it properly
That's not how you say it
Properly
Say it properly
Weekly Photo Magazine
MONDAY
In Endo's Drawer
That's not how you say it
Like the word "massage"*...
*Note: The particular word he uses (momu) with his hand movement suggests a groping-like action
Massaging...
Hamada-san is laughing too, you know
How... How did you get that?
Oh come on... Stop it
Don't make that face, Endo
I mean, wouldn't you just read it phonetically?
*Note: In Japanese, they imitate the Western pronunciation of "Monday", so in the Japanese alphabet, it's actually spelled and pronounced "Mah-n-deh"
M-O-N is how it's spelled, so isn't it "MOH-nday*"?
This title, what does it say?
Weekly Photo Magazine
In Endo's Drawer
MONDAY
In the folded page is the big scoop
The full story of Cocorico's Endo's "Joyful Night"
What?
What??
Full story?
Oh, it said "full story"
Huh? What could it be?
Well, we should just do it like last year
Indeed, if no one remembers it...
But for me...
But see, right there
Your anxious behavior isn't good
The folded page right?
Oh, it's this
At the location of "The Legend of Momotaro"
the Demon of Affairs has appeared!
You can't believe who Cocorico's Endo has targeted!
Big scoop! 4 pages in the fold
At the location of "The Legend of Momotaro"...
The Demon of Affairs has appeared...
You can't believe who Cocorico's Endo has targeted...
The Legend of Momotaro?
Notes: Momotaro is a Japanese folktale from Okayama about a boy defeating demons with his animal friends
Okayama?
Must be Okayama

Cocorico's Endo seduces!
A certain local broadcast station's super gorgeous feature announcer!!
Big Scoop!
Who is this person?
Oh right, it's the announcer person, right?
You're in the picture together
Local broadcast station's...
Feature announcer...
Oh, an announcer...
You exchanged contact info?
Yes
It was normal, just after work
At an unexciting dinner meeting,
The Demon of Affairs falls in love
Pfft...
This guy's plainly laughing here
Hey now
What?
What is this referring to?
Ow ow ow ow ow
You were seducing her?
No, I wasn't seducing her
I wasn't seducing her
Cocorico's Endo seduces!
A certain local broadcast station's super gorgeous feature announcer!!
Big Scoop!
In Endo's Drawer
MONDAY
Weekly Photo Magazine
Who is this?
You know, I think this is something I shouldn't really say
It says here, "Constantly text messages..."
"But according to Ms. A, she only felt dread towards having dinner with Endo alone."
"Only felt dread"? It says "dread," but who...
"Only felt dread"...
It's because you laughed! I only read it!
No no no
But me too, I only... I didn't...
What? What is going on?
I wasn't being persistent...
Tell us what happened!
What are you saying? You know what you did.
You were seducing her?
I was not seducing her
So annoying
You were texting them
Indoor Announcement
I wasn't, I wasn't texting
This is an emergency broadcast
Please look at the monitor
Greetings everyone
Monday Scoop!!
Emergency broadcast
On-site reporter
Hakata Daikichi
I am your on-site reporter, Hakata Daikichi*
Note: Hakata Daikichi is a famous Japanese comedian
Actually, at this time
the staff decided to try and reach out to her to make an appearance, when
she gathered her courage
to hastenly
come here on site for us.
Without further ado
Ms. A, who Endo tried to seduce
Thank you for coming
Thank you for having me
Firstly, we'd like to ask you why you agreed to making an appearance?
Well...
I have my own position in society
I was very unsure of what to do
For myself, I thought
that I need to reveal the truth
I decided to make an appearance
I see
This person seems like a petite and cute lady from this impression
Endo, do you prefer petite ladies after all?
That is indeed my type
Thought so
And now, including Endo, the five of them look at the lady on the screen...
They think she's a local broadcasting announcer
But her identity is...
Endo's ex-wife, Chiaki
Assuming a female announcer
Ex-husband
Ex-wife
Answering questions normally
Ex-couple's exchange
And now, we have the panicking ex-husband who thinks she's the female announcer,
and we have the ex-wife, who is answering questions as if everything's fine
Please enjoy as this former couple have a conversational exchange
If you'd please, I'd like to go ahead and have a discussion
What, I didn't hear about this, what is going on?
Endo Getting Pranked
Thinks female announcer but actually Chiaki
First of all
What was your first impression of Endo?
Well...
I apologize, but
at first
I thought of him as
the guy in Cocorico who isn't Tanaka
In terms of impression
I'd say it was going well
This person says horrible things
My impression was that he's
a comedian who is actively shown on TV
She says some awful things
Through work, huh?
It seems that you exchanged contact details, but...
And that...
Not by text message
It was a LINE* group actually
Note: LINE is Japan's most popular chatting app
Even now, do you still
Endo Getting Pranked
Thinks female announcer but actually Chiaki
Even now, do you still
converse over text?
I think that Endo is
is more of a sensible person
Even now, I get
quite a few texts from him
Exchanges texts with ex-wife every week
Eh~~?
I don't, I don't, I don't at all
Would it be possible to share with us any of your conversations?
Yes, um...
Endo Getting Pranked
Thinks female announcer but actually Chiaki
I haven't texted her at all, it's on
Socially, well...
LINE, it's all on there
As a member of society
In terms of our personal conversations,
Sharing with you without
Endo's permission is...
not good, I think
Then
Isn't it okay?
If it's no big deal
if it's not something you're ashamed about
It's not something I'm ashamed of...
It's not really...
How about Daikichi-san looks at it once?
Yes, alright then, then if you could just show me...
Endo Getting Pranked
Thinks female announcer but actually Chiaki
Can you promise that
you definitely won't show this to the public?
Yes
I definitely will not show this to the public
She's so concerned that she doesn't want it shown to the public
Then let's see
But I don't think I really...
Daikichi is being shown a text that Endo sent to his daughter
But you haven't sent those kinds of texts, right?
No way, I did not
Are you sure you're not writing things like, "let me train you..."?
No no no, I don't do that anymore, I've matured since then
Hahaha...
Daikichi-san?
Yes
Text to his daughter
"I love you" with lots of hearts
What happened? Is it funny?
No, it's uhhh...
I wouldn't say it's "funny" per say...
It's a bit... um...
There is more or less a
conflict with the evidence...
What do you mean by "conflict with the evidence"?
Well, even so, yes
This is not something to
show to the public for the sake of both of you
What a good dad!! It's a favorable impression so we will not show it.
No, no no, no
If it's like that, then...
This isn't in a group, you guys are texting directly, right?
I was seriously being deceived here
It was in a group, but...
But, um, at first it was just between us
It started just texting with her and it turned into getting dinner and then it became a group chat
Sounding like a real idiot
So desperate
For example, "Let's get dinner" was something that
in the female announcer's perspective
"I wonder if he sees me as a woman and is inviting me out"
There's nothing I can do about that
Directly, it's...
Well, yeah, that's true
By seeing Daikichi's reaction
True
It doesn't seem like that's it though
And so
Would you like to talk directly?
With you, Endo and her
Oh yes
Endo Getting Pranked
Thinks female announcer but actually Chiaki
Ummm
It's been a while
Ah hello
Ah, hello
Hello
It has been quite a while
Ex-couple's unnatural conversation
Thanks for before, with um... You know
I have my own position to consider
Yes, of course
So I can't really say much
For myself
I must speak the truth...
Yes, that's understandable
"The truth"? What exactly is that?
The truth is... Um, what kind of truth?
That is how she is, so Endo and everyone else
This time around
With the staff's
earnest persuasion
We have been given permission
to show her face
Wait, but this... No no no
This is pretty bad, isn't it?
Actually the truth is,
she composed a letter
Endo Getting Pranked
Thinks female announcer but actually Chiaki
in regards to your feelings
It will be read for us in just a moment
So Endo, please listen carefully
And so, if you could please read the letter
There's no way, I mean...
This series of events is not right...
What the hell are you saying?!
What are you doing looking so serious?
I apologize for deciding to
make an appearance with solely my own judgement
But there is something I want you to hear
so I have come here to do so
Why are you texting and inviting other
women out when you have a girlfriend?
This isn't a personal conversation we had...
You are a 44-year-old divorcee.
In general, in society, you should be more settled down
Before, you had said
"I've reflected on myself since the divorce and I'm more serious"
You've told me
"I'm a changed man"
But in the end, in current conditions
even though you hate being seen as a stupid person
What you are doing is completely stupid
From now on, the strength of your
completely exposed heart of stupidity will never change
Because of your carelessness
I got called out to be on "Gaki no Tsukai" this year too
I'm Chiaki
Puu
What the hell is this?!
No way no way, what the hell is this
No no no, come on now
Gimme a break
But you know, I was kind of relieved
What the hell is this?
What the hell is this?!
And now
Chiaki-san has something to say to you
Endo Getting Pranked
Ex-wife Chiaki with an emergency broadcast
You cannot leave the
Demon of Ahairs...
You can't leave the...
Chiaki!
Chiaki
Chiaki!
Chiaki, you gotta keep it together
Oh come on...
Huh, wait, what is it that, what are you trying to say?
Got to bring closure
Bring closure please
You cannot leave the
You cannot leave
the Demon of Affairs to fix itself!!
Endo Getting Pranked
Ex-wife Chiaki with an emergency broadcast
Defeat the Demon
please!
Defeat the Demon of Affairs, Enforce Punishment
What, what is happening?
Dog & Pheasant Arrive*
Note: In the story of Momotaro, his animal companions include a dog, pheasant, and monkey.
What what what??
Wait, in the end, I didn't actually have an affair!
In the end...
What?!? What?!?
Enforcer of the punishment is the Monkey
Whoa whoa whoa, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!! No please, stop!
