≪Story≫
Nanba is the world's most formidable prison, built to incarcerate criminals who are too slippery to stay in ordinary confinement. The four inmates who occupy Cell 13 are particularly cunning on that behalf, having escaped every other prison with a perfect success rate. There is Juugo, a specialist in locks who has spent the majority of his life in prison; Uno, a gambler with great intuition; Nico, an otaku whose body reacts strangely to drugs; and Rock, a bruiser with a love for food. The daily shenanigans of the four prisoners always cause trouble for the building supervisor, Hajime Sugoroku, who desperately tries to prevent them from breaking out of Nanba.
Nanbaka follows the comedic, sparkle-filled exploits of these prisoners and their guards. From three square meals a day to sports festivals, prison life in Nanba isn't actually that bad?and it is the closest these four have to a home.
≪Content≫
Ep. 1 "Idiots with Numbers!"
Four inmates (Jyugo, Uno, Rock and Nico) attempt to escape from the world's most secure prison on a remote island called Nanba Prison. Although they evade various booby traps, they are eventually recaptured by Building 13 supervising officer Hajime Sugoroku waiting outside the front entrance and returned to their cell in Building 13. Jyugo, Uno, Rock and Nico come to the conclusion that life at Nanba Prison is not that bad. After learning of a blonde lady visiting the prison, Jyugo, Uno, Rock and Nico break out of their cell and rush into the visiting room. It turns out that this blonde lady is actually Hajime's younger cross-dressing brother Hitoshi Sugoroku. Prison warden Momoko Hyakushiki arrives back at Nanba Prison and warns Hajime to treat Jyugo with caution, as it is revealed that Jyugo's father is known as the "eternal fugitive". Meanwhile, Jyugo escapes from his cell again, telling Hitoshi that he vows to find the Man with the Scar, a scientist who is responsible for placing irremovable black shackles on Jyugo's neck, wrists and ankles.
Ep. 2 - "The Inmates Are Stupid! The Guards Are Kind of Stupid, Too!"
At the warden's office, Momoko tells Hajime that Jyugo, Uno, Rock and Nico are described as diabolical escape artists, but Hajime hides the fact that the four inmates have caused problems. When Hajime leaves the warden's office, it is shown that Momoko secretly has a crush on Hajime. Soon after, Hajime finds Jyugo sleeping in the night duty room, as Jyugo claims that Rock snores, Uno grinds his teeth and Nico laughs in his sleep. Hajime later assigns the prisoners of Building 13 to the woodworking department for handcrafted furniture. However, Hajime gets upset when Nico and Uno carve wooden dolls while Jyugo and Rock assemble a chest of drawers with ejecting drawers. Suspense builds as Hajime makes his way to the warden's office in order to give Momoko a dossier of Jyugo, Uno, Rock and Nico. Momoko notices that there is no mention of the four inmates attempting to escape Nanba Prison. Hajime details Nico's drug abuse, Rock's obsession with fighting and food, Uno's compulsive gambling and dating and Jyugo's hobby of escaping prison. It is concluded that Jyugo, Uno, Rock and Nico do not desire to escape from Nanba Prison since they are comfortable there.
Ep. 3 - "Another Idiot Has Come!!"
In an arena, Momoko announces the New Year Joint Cooperation Tournament, where prisoners and officers from each building are formed into competing teams across five events. Chief broadcaster Mitsuru Hitokoe gives play-by-play commentary. During the first event called Kakizome, Jyugo displays terrible penmanship in calligraphy, yet Hajime and Yamato both present winning scripts. During the second event called Mochi Pounding Daruma Drop, Rock fights Building 5 inmate Liang while Yamato battles Building 5 deputy supervisor Inori Hakkai. It is revealed that Liang trained tirelessly to fight against Rock, who was Liang's former cellmate. Rock wishes to have a stone oven as his prize. Using their fighting prowess, both Rock and Yamato easily defeat Liang and Inori, thereby winning the match. During the third event called Hyakunin Isshu, Seitarou and Uno are up against Building 3 supervising officer Kiji Mitsuba and Building 5 inmates Trois and Honey in a game of competitive karuta. Seitarou easily wins against Kiji, but Uno seemingly heads towards defeat against Trois and Honey.
