■While Ibuki Arakuni (Raul) and Akabane Kotoshi (Deguchi Natsuki) are on a date to the aquarium, a classmate manages to protect Kotoshi without being found out!
The main footage from the movie “Akabane Kotsuko’s Bodyguard,” starring Raul (Snow Man), which will be released on August 2nd, has been released.
This work is the ultimate “protection” school action entertainment based on the manga of the same name by Masamitsu Tanzuki, which is currently serialized in “Weekly Shonen Magazine” (Kodansha).
The scene that was released this time is an original storyline unique to the film, where Ibuki Arakuni (Raul) and Akabane Kotoshi (Deguchi Natsuki) go on a date to the aquarium.
But this is no ordinary aquarium date. With a 10 billion yen bounty on his head, the skeleton is always under the attack of a hitman. The mission given to them by the strongest commander in the class, Someshima Sumihiko (Okudaira Daiken), is to protect the skeleton during the date. Of course, the classmates accompany the date and do their best to protect the skeleton’s safety.
The video begins with a scene of Arakun and Honeko meeting up. Arakun is restless before his date with his beloved Honeko, even though he knows it’s a mission. “Ibuki! Sorry to have kept you waiting!” he exclaims, sprinting towards him in casual clothes that he doesn’t usually see. Arakun starts walking nervously, so nervous that his right hand and right foot move out together.
In the command vehicle, the monitor team led by Sumihiko watches the date and gives instructions to distract everyone so that the skeleton doesn’t find out while they fight off the assassins. And then, the date finally begins. Next to the two riding on the merry-go-round, Yoshinobu Yuzuru (Matsuoka Kodai), Otaru Tsune (Kudo Mio), Yoshinobu Takimaru (Takahashi Taito / the official spelling of “taka” is “ladder daka”) and Natsuno Managi (Anzai Seira) defeat the assassins one after another. Arakuni also desperately tries to look away so that the skeleton doesn’t find out, but it’s a bit awkward.
They somehow manage to get through without being noticed and head next to a boat. While the two are enjoying themselves on the boat, they see an assassin aiming for the bones from underwater. Diver Hata Ippei (Yuki / Tosa Kyodai) quickly grabs the assassin and drives him away. Looking into the water, Hata’s hand is giving a thumbs up from the surface. Arakuni secretly gives a thumbs up in return.
On the way to the aquarium, Arakuni is wary of the assassin, but Sueko takes Arakuni’s hand and says, “Let’s go!” The story makes us wonder if the heart-pounding developments are finally about to begin…
