"Akihabara"
**[00:09] ---**
"The Bugged Ones"
**[00:14] ---**
"Mysterious Girl?!"
**[00:19] ---**
"Mysterious Boy!"
**[00:32] ---**
"Undress!"
**[00:38] ---**
Tamotsu! Above you!
**[02:25] ---**
I can't believe
they've come back from the dead...
**[02:29] ---**
Dammit!
**[02:45] ---**
It seems like I got away...
**[02:46] ---**
There you are! I've finally got you!
**[02:50] ---**
Whoa!
**[02:51] ---**
Don't you see? I am trying to help you.
**[02:54] ---**
I said, no thank you!
**[02:55] ---**
Come on! Please spend a moment
to think about the great deal
**[02:56] ---**
"Mabu-Mabunopapa"
**[02:58] ---**
of peace and happiness that you will
be giving your mind by purchasing fine art!
**[03:01] ---**
It's only 950,000 yen,
or 16,000 per month for just 5 years!
**[03:06] ---**
So let's just go back to the gallery
and complete the paperwork for--
**[03:09] ---**
All right! I'll buy!
**[03:10] ---**
What? Really?!
**[03:12] ---**
But... I have just one condition.
**[03:14] ---**
What is it?
**[03:15] ---**
Young lady... you must...
**[03:18] ---**
...join me in battle!
**[03:21] ---**
Huh? Battle...?
**[03:23] ---**
Yes! Battle!
**[03:24] ---**
To tell you the truth,
I am Prince Mabu-Neet, sent to Earth
**[03:27] ---**
by the great Space God Goldiva
from Tekan Riser, the Eleventh world!
**[03:31] ---**
I must collect the Mobamo Silataro Emblem,
shattered into 334 pieces,
**[03:36] ---**
and awaken as
the Social Love Fighter Mozuku.
**[03:38] ---**
Then I will lead my 16 allies
to wage an Evolution Fight against
**[03:42] ---**
Darkgod The Hellsflash in Stargate, where I will
Videotape the Mozaizer Chance Energies to...
**[03:51] ---**
Who would have thought my middle school
fantasy novel would be so useful.
**[03:55] ---**
Big bro Tamotsu!
**[03:58] ---**
I knew you'd be here!
**[04:01] ---**
Hey, Niwaka.
**[04:02] ---**
I told you to wait, but you took off!
**[04:05] ---**
Sorry, sorry.
**[04:06] ---**
I was ambushed by
the recently resurrected Eulian.
**[04:09] ---**
Eulian...?
**[04:10] ---**
A monster, native to Akihabara.
**[04:12] ---**
They increase in numbers in
the sequel and start a war!
**[04:15] ---**
Wow, cool.
**[04:17] ---**
Anyway, let's go to Animate next.
**[04:18] ---**
"Animate exclusive!
GONZO Boys special!"
**[04:18] ---**
I need to buy this new manga
with the special bonus flier attached.
**[04:22] ---**
Seriously? I'm not that interested.
**[04:24] ---**
You have to come with me!
**[04:27] ---**
We'd get separated again!
**[04:29] ---**
Come on, you can just hang out
in the figurine store next door.
**[04:31] ---**
I see... Then I can look for the
Anatomy Rangers limited-edition figurines...
**[04:36] ---**
--No, that store is too tempting,
**[04:37] ---**
--Big bro! Big bro!
--No, that store is too tempting,
**[04:38] ---**
--Big bro! Big bro!
--it will lure me into overspending...
**[04:54] ---**
What in the...
**[04:56] ---**
Huh?
**[05:07] ---**
Hey, are you okay...?
**[05:10] ---**
It's not safe there.
**[05:11] ---**
Huh?
**[05:32] ---**
Oh no!
**[05:38] ---**
Cool!
**[05:45] ---**
Just a grunt...
**[05:47] ---**
Hold it right there!
**[05:50] ---**
That's it! Break it up!
**[05:53] ---**
They're...
**[05:55] ---**
The Akihabara vigilantes.
**[05:57] ---**
The show is over! Please disperse!
**[06:01] ---**
A show? That was a show?
**[06:04] ---**
Young lady, your show is a little too flashy!
**[06:07] ---**
You do know the
new Akihabara Accords, right?
**[06:09] ---**
You have to fill out an application and--
**[06:12] ---**
Hey, you! Wait!
**[06:14] ---**
That was quite a show.
**[06:16] ---**
Anything goes, I guess.
**[06:23] ---**
I'm so glad they still had
the limited edition fliers in stock!
**[06:26] ---**
Ugh... That figurine store
didn't have it either...
**[06:29] ---**
Too bad, big bro. Maybe you should
stop trying so hard to be a minority.
**[06:34] ---**
What's the joy in doing
what everyone else is doing?!
**[06:37] ---**
Fine, I guess I'll have
to go look in an auction.
**[06:41] ---**
So, about that show...
**[06:43] ---**
I wonder if it's related to the
rumors about the Bugged Ones?
**[06:47] ---**
The Bugged Ones...
***SIGN*** "'I totally photo'd a Bugged One' Totally looks like a normal person lol" "Chiyoda Ward residents: 'Bugged One? What?' Not popular at all"
**[06:49] ---**
They say it's increasing rapidly.
A dark shadow haunts you and takes you over.
**[06:52] ---**
"Urban legends of Akihabara"
**[06:56] ---**
I heard that my friend's
sister's classmate said so.
**[06:59] ---**
Yeah, and once you become a Bugged One,
you gain superhuman strength, go berserk,
**[07:03] ---**
and attack to infect other humans, right?
**[07:06] ---**
Like a vampire, or a zombie.
**[07:09] ---**
But if it were true,
it'd be a big problem, right?
**[07:12] ---**
The police aren't doing anything,
and the vigilantes called it a show.
**[07:16] ---**
It's all hokum, an urban legend.
**[07:20] ---**
A lot of people have been trying
new things after the Akihabara Accords
**[07:23] ---**
lifted the ban on street performances.
**[07:25] ---**
Someone was bound to try
flying at some point.
**[07:28] ---**
I guess whatever's popular is good.
**[07:31] ---**
Anyway, next up is Adores Café!
They have a collaboration menu!
**[07:32] ---**
"Gon-Mas"
**[07:34] ---**
Not interested.
**[07:35] ---**
Come on! Come with me!
**[07:38] ---**
"Kage-san"
"That thing you wanted, Tamotsu, I found it."
**[07:41] ---**
I'm sorry, your brother must go!
**[07:43] ---**
Huh?! You promised to spend
the entire day with me!
**[07:48] ---**
We'll do that tomorrow!
**[07:50] ---**
Not every day is a holiday
for me, unlike you!
**[07:59] ---**
Wow... He's right!
Almost all of the versions are here!
**[08:03] ---**
Not just Liver Blue,
but Colon Black, and Ear Hair Purple...
**[08:07] ---**
Impressive, Mr. Kage, Lord of Akiba.
Only he would know of such a shop...
**[08:12] ---**
Hmm?
**[08:13] ---**
Wow! It's Liver Blue Fatty Mode!
**[08:17] ---**
A limited edition, released only in
an event in Aomori last year...
**[08:20] ---**
Never re-released because
it was so horribly unpopular...
**[08:23] ---**
A legendary item, I can't believe it's here!
**[08:26] ---**
No, it must be destiny that lead me
to acquire this item... This mythical--
**[08:33] ---**
Hmm?
**[08:33] ---**
Moi?
**[08:37] ---**
Huh? I won't...
**[08:39] ---**
Moimoi, mo-moi, I found this first!
**[08:44] ---**
What's mine is mine, what's yours is yours!
**[08:47] ---**
That's normal! Wow, she's strong...
**[08:51] ---**
This is my figurine, my Liver!
**[08:54] ---**
This rare version is
not only colored differently,
**[08:56] ---**
but is also newly modeled to more
closely reflect the original designs!
**[09:00] ---**
I want to repaint this to match
the original, base color!
**[09:05] ---**
This one knows what she's talking about!
**[09:07] ---**
She noticed that the rare color
is modeled differently!
**[09:10] ---**
I love Liver! So I really,
really want it! Give me Liver!
**[09:20] ---**
--Oh no!
--Yay! I got Liver, moi!
**[09:24] ---**
Please don't feel bad. Moi, moi!
**[09:28] ---**
No, wait! At least, tell me!
**[09:31] ---**
Hmm?
**[09:31] ---**
Tell me more about the emotions
you have invested in that rare item!
**[09:34] ---**
Motions?
**[09:36] ---**
If I can't have it, I want to at least
passionately discuss Liver Blue.
**[09:41] ---**
You and I share a value.
We are already friends!
**[09:45] ---**
Friends...?
**[09:47] ---**
That's right. We don't come to
Akiba just to dig up rare goods.
**[09:51] ---**
We're here to breathe the air...
**[09:54] ---**
The atmosphere of friendship and compassion!
**[09:57] ---**
We are comrades,
living in the same atmosphere!
**[10:01] ---**
Wow!
**[10:03] ---**
For some reason,
I totally understand what you mean!
**[10:08] ---**
You speak directly to
the heart of Arisa Ahokainen!
**[10:14] ---**
With a thud!
**[10:17] ---**
Nice to meet you, Arisa.
My name is Tamotsu. Tamotsu Denkigai.
**[10:22] ---**
Nice to meet you, too, Tamotsu!
**[10:28] ---**
So close, so close...
**[10:34] ---**
Found you, Bugged One!
**[10:37] ---**
Bug?
**[10:38] ---**
You're that...
**[10:41] ---**
Mo-moi! What is this...?
**[10:43] ---**
Reveal yourself!
**[10:45] ---**
Reveal?! What do you mean?!
**[10:48] ---**
That weird cosplay, you must be one of them!
**[10:50] ---**
There are tons of cosplayers around here!
**[10:54] ---**
Your physical abilities are superhuman!
**[10:59] ---**
The figurines!
**[10:59] ---**
Accept your fate!
**[11:02] ---**
I will punish you
for treating treasures without respect!
**[11:18] ---**
Strategic retreat! Off I go!
**[11:20] ---**
Hey, wait, you Bug!
**[11:27] ---**
I should have taken a movie of that.
**[11:28] ---**
An explosion, on Chuo Dori Street?
**[11:31] ---**
You mean around Adores Café?
What's going on in Akihabara today?
**[11:35] ---**
Adores Café...
**[11:37] ---**
Next up is Adores Café!
**[11:39] ---**
Niwaka!
**[11:41] ---**
Dammit!
**[11:42] ---**
Retrieved! Excuse me, checkout please!
**[11:48] ---**
Please stand back, stand back.
**[11:51] ---**
Hey, you there! Stand back!
**[11:55] ---**
I can see you. I can see you real good.
**[11:57] ---**
The number you have dialed
is not available right now.
**[11:59] ---**
The phone may be out of range,
or turned off.
**[12:03] ---**
Hey, you can't come in!
**[12:05] ---**
Hey, you! Stop! Whoa!
**[12:20] ---**
"Emergency Exit"
**[12:22] ---**
There are customers here?
**[12:26] ---**
Um, have you seen a girl
wearing a weird panda outfit?
**[12:31] ---**
Whoa! Whoa! Ugh! Ouch...
**[12:35] ---**
What?!
**[12:39] ---**
Oh no! I'm sorry! I'll do anything!
**[12:42] ---**
Huh? Am I safe...?
**[12:45] ---**
No, I'm not! No!
**[13:01] ---**
I see you often. But you're in my way.
**[13:05] ---**
It's not like I want to be here!
My little sister's here!
**[13:09] ---**
Sister?
**[13:10] ---**
Right! Niwaka!
**[13:15] ---**
Niwaka!
**[13:18] ---**
Dammit!
**[13:19] ---**
Niwaka! Are you okay?!
**[13:22] ---**
Good... She seems to be alive, I think...
**[13:33] ---**
Take your sister and run...
**[13:35] ---**
But you're hurt...
**[13:37] ---**
I told you, you're in my way!
**[13:39] ---**
I might not be able to save you next time!
**[13:44] ---**
Traitor... You are supposed
to be on our side...
**[13:48] ---**
Don't include me in
your little circle of villains...
**[14:02] ---**
This is bad... Really bad...
**[14:07] ---**
She...
**[14:12] ---**
Oh, wait. It's you!
**[14:15] ---**
Moi, you are Tamotsu! Welcome!
**[14:20] ---**
This isn't your house!
**[14:21] ---**
I was enjoying an exciting game of tag,
when the roles suddenly reversed.
**[14:26] ---**
Why are you in a different outfit?
**[14:29] ---**
Moi... The previous outfit was
ripped off of me during the fight.
**[14:33] ---**
Then she said, "Oops, sorry, my mistake!"
**[14:38] ---**
I wanted to ask her what she was
talking about, so I followed her.
**[14:41] ---**
Hmm, she's always undressing the opponent...
**[14:45] ---**
Moi? Oh, how cute! Is she your girlfriend?
**[14:49] ---**
Huh? Big Bro has no girlfriend!
**[14:52] ---**
In fact he only has very few friends...
**[14:56] ---**
Grr...
**[14:57] ---**
Oh! Tamotsu is a loner!
**[14:59] ---**
Shut up!
**[15:02] ---**
Miss Ahokainen, I need to ask you a favor.
**[15:05] ---**
Just call me Arisa.
**[15:08] ---**
Take care of my sister.
**[15:10] ---**
Take her someplace safe...
**[15:12] ---**
Moi?
**[15:13] ---**
We fought over the same figurine.
**[15:15] ---**
I can trust you,
as we both share the same soul.
**[15:18] ---**
Tamotsu, what are you going to do?
**[15:21] ---**
I have to go after her.
**[15:24] ---**
She bugs me. I can't
leave these things unexplored.
**[15:27] ---**
But isn't it dangerous?
You are quite below average in physique.
**[15:33] ---**
But I can't just leave it alone!
**[15:34] ---**
If it looks interesting, no ocean, mountain,
or galaxy should separate me from it!
**[15:39] ---**
"Curiosity must take
precedence over everything!"
**[15:42] ---**
Remember that line from
episode 34 of Anatomy Rangers?!
**[15:46] ---**
N-Now that you mention it, that might
have been a line from that episode...
**[15:49] ---**
Tamotsu, you are so cool!
You can get any girl now!
**[15:53] ---**
Right! You take care of Niwaka, Arisa!
**[15:55] ---**
Moi! You can count on me!
**[15:59] ---**
Actually, it's a line
from my original novel...
**[16:13] ---**
What's wrong? What happened
to your earlier bravado?
**[16:16] ---**
Still so many...
**[16:19] ---**
Akihabara belongs to us!
All of humanity must kneel to us!
**[16:24] ---**
Kneel to us, the Metrotica!
**[16:33] ---**
Oh no!
**[16:38] ---**
Hahaha! Death to the traitor!
**[16:45] ---**
You end here!
**[16:46] ---**
I'm done for...
**[16:50] ---**
What?!
**[16:53] ---**
It's him!
**[16:58] ---**
Have another!
**[17:00] ---**
Oh, oops--
**[17:02] ---**
Ugh!
**[17:04] ---**
Why did you come?!
**[17:05] ---**
Pay attention!
**[17:12] ---**
Hmph, traitor... This is the end for you!
**[17:28] ---**
What?! It can't be!
**[17:30] ---**
Why... Why would you...
**[17:33] ---**
Dammit! Get out of my way!
**[17:42] ---**
Dammit... Let's go!
**[17:52] ---**
Why...?
**[17:53] ---**
My previous self... Told me to
follow anything that looks interesting...
**[17:57] ---**
What does that even mean?!
**[17:59] ---**
If you see my little sister, tell her...
**[18:02] ---**
...her brother Tamotsu was--
**[18:04] ---**
Blargh!
**[18:06] ---**
Hey! Can't you even finish your final words?!
**[18:09] ---**
I mean, no! You can't die! You can't die...
**[18:15] ---**
Not for someone like me...
**[18:23] ---**
It's okay. You will not die.
**[18:49] ---**
Huh?! Where am I?!
**[18:52] ---**
I just saw Grandma across a river, and--
**[18:56] ---**
I'm glad you're okay.
**[18:57] ---**
I just performed an operation on you
called Transcend Providence.
**[19:00] ---**
It has a few side effects...
**[19:06] ---**
You nuisance...
**[19:25] ---**
Oh no!
**[19:29] ---**
You?! How?!
**[19:31] ---**
It felt like I would be able
to do that for some reason.
**[19:35] ---**
I just have to undress them, right?
**[19:37] ---**
Yes! The Bugged Ones
are extremely sensitive to the air!
**[19:40] ---**
Take their clothes off to defeat them!
**[19:42] ---**
Roger!
**[19:48] ---**
Enough!
**[19:55] ---**
Are you okay?
**[19:56] ---**
Here they come!
**[20:11] ---**
Tamotsu! Above you!
**[20:19] ---**
Ultra Super Miracle God Hand!
**[20:26] ---**
No! I can't... How... No!
**[20:33] ---**
What's that? A movie set?
**[20:35] ---**
Lots of naked babes!
**[20:37] ---**
Good... I got an excellent shot.
**[20:41] ---**
Oh, hmm... F...
**[20:43] ---**
No, I must respect this lady,
even if she is evil.
**[20:46] ---**
I must not stare at her in a lewd way.
**[20:48] ---**
But you totally did stare, right?
**[20:49] ---**
No, um, this is a thing that
Akiba comrades do with the thing, and...
**[20:53] ---**
But I'm impressed that you did so well...
**[20:57] ---**
I do tend to grasp things quickly.
**[21:00] ---**
Mister... Tamotsu, right?
**[21:04] ---**
I'm Matome. Matome Mayonaka.
**[21:08] ---**
That sounds like the name
of a mayonnaise review blog!
**[21:11] ---**
Can I call you Mayo?
**[21:12] ---**
Wait, that's the part
you're going to abbreviate?
**[21:15] ---**
But... I'm sorry.
**[21:17] ---**
You can't live a normal life anymore.
**[21:19] ---**
Huh?
**[21:20] ---**
You have now seen the paranormal Akihabara.
**[21:23] ---**
You are now destined to continue
fighting alongside me,
**[21:26] ---**
in a never-ending nightmare...
**[21:29] ---**
Put your phone away and listen!
**[21:35] ---**
You can't go home dressed like that, right?
**[21:38] ---**
I was looking up the closest
clothes store and it's still open.
**[21:40] ---**
Let's get changed there.
**[21:41] ---**
H-Huh?
**[21:44] ---**
Hey, I'm not finished--
**[21:46] ---**
I get the gist.
**[21:47] ---**
Our battle has only just begun, right?!
**[23:25] ---**
Swords, guns... All boys love weapons.
**[23:28] ---**
Do you know a lot about them?
**[23:29] ---**
To be honest, no. But I do have
a bit of sentiment towards them!
**[23:32] ---**
I don't get it.
**[23:33] ---**
Akiba's Trip The Animation, next episode!
**[23:35] ---**
"We Formed a Team - Call Us Electric Mayo!"
**[23:35] ---**
"TRIP 2 - We Formed a Team
- Call Us Electric Mayo!"
**[23:36] ---**
Electric Mayo? Is that a type of weapon, too?
**[23:40] ---**
**[23:42] ---**
# 2 - We Formed a Team - Call Us Electric Mayo!"

**[00:02] ---**
Hey! Pay attention!
**[00:04] ---**
Huh? No, I am listening, really.
**[00:08] ---**
Those freaks that you fought,
they are the Bugged Ones...
**[00:12] ---**
The bloodthirsty monsters who
disturb the peace in Akiba.
**[00:15] ---**
The rumors were true...
**[00:18] ---**
The ones we fought were cosplayers
**[00:20] ---**
who became violent by becoming Bugged Ones.
**[00:23] ---**
Most of the Bugged Ones are low-class types,
taken over by demons called Kurobugs.
**[00:29] ---**
But there are those called the Hazoku, who can
create stronger, high-class Bugged Ones...
**[00:34] ---**
Are you listening?!
**[00:36] ---**
Oh! Yeah, um... I'm hungry, and...
Can I go and grab a katsu sandwich?
**[00:40] ---**
I said!
**[00:41] ---**
I know, I'm listening!
Something about the Hazoku?
**[00:45] ---**
The Hazoku are non-humans who have
the power to create Bugged Ones...
**[00:50] ---**
And I am one of them.
**[00:52] ---**
Some Hazoku seek to coexist with humans.
**[00:56] ---**
I am one of them,
and I fight to protect this land.
**[01:02] ---**
Recently, they have become active
for some reason.
**[01:07] ---**
I have to keep fighting...
**[01:10] ---**
My clan has been defending Akihabara
for over 300 years now.
**[01:16] ---**
Now that you have the power,
you can no longer leave Akiba.
**[01:20] ---**
So you must join me and--
**[01:21] ---**
See ya.
**[01:23] ---**
Hey?! Aren't you listening?!
**[01:25] ---**
I don't want to do that!
That sounds so bothersome!
**[01:28] ---**
Can't you ask the police
or the vigilantes or something?
**[01:31] ---**
I don't need to take part!
**[01:32] ---**
Bye!
**[01:33] ---**
--Hey--
--Wait for me, katsu sandwich!
**[01:35] ---**
Ow! W-What the...?
**[01:38] ---**
Like I said, you cannot exit Akiba.
**[01:41] ---**
The whole city is surrounded by a powerful
force field to keep the Bugged Ones in.
**[01:47] ---**
After receiving my "Transcend Providence,"
you have become my underling...
**[01:52] ---**
In other words, a Bugged One.
**[01:54] ---**
That hair color is the proof.
**[01:57] ---**
In combat, your hair shines,
unlocking your powers.
**[02:01] ---**
It can't be...
**[02:05] ---**
Big Bro!
**[02:07] ---**
You're okay!
**[03:43] ---**
"TRIP 2 - We Formed a Team -
Call Us Electric Mayo!"
**[03:47] ---**
Wow, great!
**[03:48] ---**
There's a bunch of old video games
that I've heard of but never played!
**[03:52] ---**
Big Bro, sit down!
**[03:54] ---**
This is important, probably.
**[03:57] ---**
"Probably"?
**[03:58] ---**
This used to be a warehouse for a hobby shop.
**[04:01] ---**
I understand why Tamotsu is excited.
**[04:03] ---**
Miss Arisa, you should sit, too.
**[04:05] ---**
Don't mind me! And do just call me Arisa!
**[04:10] ---**
Hmm...?
**[04:12] ---**
--Moi!
**[04:13] ---**
--Wow!
--Moi!
**[04:15] ---**
This is the world's first
home video game machine, the Ottossei!
**[04:18] ---**
Great! Super!
**[04:20] ---**
Is there anything else?
**[04:21] ---**
Um, so... My brother is no longer human?
**[04:26] ---**
Yes... Your brother Tamotsu is...
**[04:29] ---**
Ahem, allow me to explain.
**[04:33] ---**
Professor...
**[04:34] ---**
Professor? This little girl?
**[04:37] ---**
Nice to meet you.
I am Professor Tejasvi Latu.
**[04:40] ---**
My full name is Tejasvi Najawardene Bangalbengal
Rajarajamaharaja Virendravarendra...
**[04:45] ---**
How about just Professor?
**[04:46] ---**
Totally fine!
**[04:47] ---**
Tamotsu, you almost...
Or rather, totally died.
**[04:51] ---**
When Matome performed the
"Transcend Providence" on you,
**[04:54] ---**
you became a Hazoku underling...
a high-class Bugged One.
**[04:58] ---**
That is the power that allowed you to
defeat the Bugged One with a single blow.
**[05:02] ---**
The Hazoku are superior to the Bugged Ones,
**[05:04] ---**
so high-class Bugged Ones
empowered by the Hazoku are stronger.
**[05:08] ---**
By the way, Matome, how did you
convince yourself to perform the ceremony?
**[05:13] ---**
You really hated it.
**[05:15] ---**
Okay, I understood none of that,
but I guess you're really not human anymore...
**[05:21] ---**
Daddy always did say
you fail as a human being.
**[05:25] ---**
No need to be pessimistic.
**[05:27] ---**
You should feel lucky that
you have become a higher being.
**[05:32] ---**
But to grow stronger without even trying...
**[05:35] ---**
That type of opportunism feels unacceptable...
**[05:38] ---**
Wait, so if I'm also a Bugged One...
**[05:42] ---**
What happens if my clothes get ripped off?
**[05:44] ---**
The other ones returned to
normal humans when they got disrobed.
**[05:48] ---**
Would that happen to me, too?
**[05:50] ---**
We'll get to that later.
**[05:52] ---**
Huh? What?
**[05:54] ---**
Besides, how am I supposed to bathe without taking my clothes off?
**[05:57] ---**
I'm going to stink.
**[05:58] ---**
Fear not! This secret base is equipped
with a special shower room, built by me.
**[06:03] ---**
I prefer bathtubs...
**[06:05] ---**
Tamotsu, you pervert!
**[06:07] ---**
Why are you in here?!
**[06:08] ---**
Don't look!
**[06:11] ---**
Enough about the bath.
**[06:14] ---**
Since you are my underling now,
**[06:16] ---**
the Bugged Ones will
definitely meddle with you.
**[06:19] ---**
You have to fight to defend yourself.
**[06:21] ---**
You will join my vigilante group.
**[06:24] ---**
Huh?
**[06:25] ---**
Vigilante? Like those other people
who hang out in groups around Akiba?
**[06:29] ---**
Yes. The vigilantes are volunteers
who stood up in defense of Akiba.
**[06:34] ---**
Most are just regular people
cleaning the streets and stuff,
**[06:36] ---**
but some are dedicated
Bugged One hunters, like me.
**[06:41] ---**
Moi! This is so cool,
like a shadow warrior hitman!
**[06:45] ---**
Wear something!
**[06:46] ---**
Ah, well.
**[06:48] ---**
There's no getting out of this, right?
**[06:50] ---**
If I'm stuck in Akiba,
I guess I have to live here.
**[06:54] ---**
Live?
**[06:55] ---**
Huh? Big Bro, you're going to stay here?
**[06:58] ---**
What else can I do? I can't go home.
**[07:00] ---**
Mayo, you live here, too, right?
**[07:02] ---**
Well, yes, but...
**[07:04] ---**
So I can, too, right?
**[07:06] ---**
Well, I mean...
**[07:07] ---**
But Mom and Dad will be worried!
**[07:10] ---**
Tell the folks I started working
at a live-in job or something.
**[07:14] ---**
Seriously? Mom might buy it, but Dad...
**[07:19] ---**
--Hey, I demand to be heard...
--What about prep school?
**[07:20] ---**
--Hey, I demand to be heard...
--I never go anyway, whatever.
**[07:21] ---**
Moi! It's like summer camp!
--I never go anyway, whatever.
**[07:23] ---**
Sounds fun!
**[07:24] ---**
Hey!
**[07:25] ---**
Oh, don't worry.
**[07:27] ---**
If we clear out that closet space there,
we can fit one more person.
**[07:33] ---**
--But...
--It's okay.
**[07:35] ---**
He seems like an idiot but not a bad person.
**[07:38] ---**
Besides, he's your underling,
which is like your pet, right?
**[07:43] ---**
So...
**[07:43] ---**
Tamotsu!
**[07:45] ---**
You will begin working for me, immediately!
**[07:47] ---**
Seriously? Already?
**[07:50] ---**
As a member of the vigilante group,
you will obey my instructions. Understood?
**[07:55] ---**
If you disobey, or I find you useless,
I will kick you out immediately!
**[08:01] ---**
Fine, fine.
**[08:03] ---**
The correct response is, "Yes!"
**[08:04] ---**
Yesh!
**[08:05] ---**
Okay, first off, clean out that room.
**[08:07] ---**
Y-Yes!
**[08:08] ---**
Tomorrow morning, we start patrolling at 7 a.m.
**[08:11] ---**
Oh no, I want to sleep in until 10...
**[08:13] ---**
Is Big Bro going to be okay?
**[08:21] ---**
Why are you here, too?
**[08:22] ---**
I am a member of this vigilante group, Ma!
**[08:25] ---**
"Ma"?
**[08:26] ---**
Me.
**[08:27] ---**
Ma!
**[08:28] ---**
Me?! I mean, who said you could join?
**[08:32] ---**
Oh, no, no. Don't be so stubborn!
**[08:36] ---**
The figurines on the shelf...
**[08:38] ---**
Those were the ones you broke yesterday.
**[08:41] ---**
Ma, you purchased them, and fixed them.
**[08:46] ---**
I like that about you, Ma!
**[08:50] ---**
W-Well, I felt bad for the shop, and... Well...
**[08:54] ---**
I'm sorry about yesterday.
**[08:57] ---**
Moi?
**[08:58] ---**
I thought you were a Bugged One, so I...
**[09:03] ---**
Moi!
**[09:04] ---**
Ma is so cute!
**[09:07] ---**
From today, you and I are teammates,
soulmates, schoolmates!
**[09:12] ---**
Okay! I've decided!
**[09:14] ---**
What's up, Tamotsu?
**[09:16] ---**
I've decided what
our team name is going to be!
**[09:20] ---**
Huh? Is that what you've been pondering
so hard for so long?
**[09:24] ---**
Actually I've been pondering
since yesterday. And the name is...
**[09:29] ---**
What?! That's terrible! It sucks!
**[09:32] ---**
It's based on my name and Mayo's!
There is nothing better!
**[09:36] ---**
No!
**[09:37] ---**
Excuse me?
**[09:39] ---**
Vigilantes?
**[09:40] ---**
I need to ask you something
about the many violent events
**[09:43] ---**
that happened in Akihabara yesterday...
**[09:46] ---**
We have intel suggesting
you were involved in all of them.
**[09:50] ---**
You seem to be hanging around with him.
Are you a vigilante, too?
**[09:54] ---**
If so?
**[09:55] ---**
Indeed, we are a new team, composed of
Tamotsu Denkigai and Matome Mayonaka...
**[09:59] ---**
Named "Electric Mayonnaise!"
**[10:00] ---**
"Electric Mayonnaise"
**[10:05] ---**
Moi? But where is my name, then?
**[10:08] ---**
Oh! Um, in that case...
**[10:11] ---**
How about "Electric Mayonnaise and Friends?"
**[10:14] ---**
That's great!
**[10:16] ---**
I said I hate that!
**[10:19] ---**
I do not want such a stupid name!
**[10:21] ---**
Come on, it's cool!
**[10:23] ---**
I don't know if you're Electric Mayo
or Shock Tokyo or whatever,
**[10:25] ---**
but are you saying you, a vigilante,
caused those incidents?
**[10:28] ---**
How dare you mess around in our turf!
**[10:31] ---**
Turf? What's that?
**[10:33] ---**
The unspoken laws of Akiba vigilantes,
designed to maintain order!
**[10:37] ---**
Silly. Let's go, Tamotsu.
**[10:40] ---**
Hey, you guys!
**[10:41] ---**
You'd better respect
the Electric Mayonnaise and Friends!
**[10:44] ---**
--I said I don't want that name!
**[10:45] ---**
--Hey, wait!
--I said I don't want that name!
**[10:45] ---**
--Hey, wait!
--Come on, I decided already!
**[10:46] ---**
--Moi!
--Come on, I decided already!
**[10:47] ---**
Moi, moi! Don't mind us!
**[10:51] ---**
Moi!
**[10:52] ---**
See you Ahokainen! Moimoi!
**[10:57] ---**
Hey! Wait!
**[10:59] ---**
Uh, Boss?
**[11:00] ---**
She's... cute!
**[11:02] ---**
Huh?!
**[11:03] ---**
Electric Mayonnaise...
We need to keep an eye on them.
**[11:09] ---**
Welcome home, Master!
**[11:11] ---**
Welcome to your dream!
**[11:15] ---**
The Bugged Ones... What do they want?
**[11:19] ---**
The fighting from yesterday...
**[11:20] ---**
"Cosplayers gone wild!"
**[11:21] ---**
The online news called it
"Cosplayers gone wild."
**[11:25] ---**
What's going on?
**[11:26] ---**
They use the Kurobugs to create more allies,
**[11:29] ---**
and are trying to take over Akiba for sure.
**[11:33] ---**
The name of the organization is Metrotica.
**[11:35] ---**
Kneel to us, the Metrotica!
**[11:38] ---**
Their headquarters must be
somewhere in Akihabara.
**[11:42] ---**
But if we don't even know what they are,
**[11:44] ---**
isn't it kind of pointless to just fight blindly?
**[11:47] ---**
I... just want to protect this place...
**[11:50] ---**
I understand! This town is full
of splendid somethings.
**[11:55] ---**
I want to protect it, too!
**[11:57] ---**
A splendid something...
**[11:59] ---**
I want some, too.
**[12:00] ---**
I'm in Akiba of all places,
but on patrol from the morning...
**[12:04] ---**
I want to go shopping and stuff...
**[12:05] ---**
Tamotsu...
**[12:06] ---**
Wait, vigilantes are unpaid, right?
**[12:10] ---**
How do you make a living, let alone shop?
**[12:12] ---**
The research institute that the professor
belongs to does give us some funds.
**[12:18] ---**
But it barely covers more
than the rent at our base.
**[12:21] ---**
Then how am I supposed to live?!
**[12:23] ---**
You can do some part-time work,
I'll give you enough free time for that.
**[12:26] ---**
Hmm... But with no way out
of Akiba, how can I...
**[12:31] ---**
Master?
**[12:34] ---**
Are you looking for work?
**[12:37] ---**
Whoa!
**[12:38] ---**
Oh, please stay quiet here!
**[12:40] ---**
Oh, Momo, you're working here today.
**[12:43] ---**
Yes, meow!
**[12:44] ---**
Momo?! Tsukumo Momo,
the popular free agent maid,
**[12:48] ---**
known for various legendary acts?!
**[12:52] ---**
Moi! Nice to meet you,
good evening! I am Arisa!
**[12:56] ---**
Thank you! Meow-chu! Please buy
a handshake ticket at my next concert!
**[13:00] ---**
Mo... Momo-momo...?!
**[13:02] ---**
Master.
**[13:03] ---**
If you are looking for work,
I know of a great place!
**[13:08] ---**
"Mashiro's 'Anything' Agency"
**[13:10] ---**
Hello! Welcome to
the anything goes agency!
**[13:14] ---**
I heard from Momo.
**[13:16] ---**
You're the guy looking for work, right?
**[13:19] ---**
Yeah, something really easy
that pays really well, please.
**[13:23] ---**
That sounds too good to be true...
**[13:25] ---**
And is right here!
**[13:26] ---**
Wow, really good pay!
**[13:28] ---**
That sounds shady.
**[13:30] ---**
You probably won't get so much.
**[13:32] ---**
We don't take any responsibility
for information.
**[13:35] ---**
That's how we do things!
**[13:37] ---**
Wait, I remember getting
a weird reading around there.
**[13:41] ---**
What's that?
**[13:42] ---**
The Bugged One sensor,
made by the Professor.
**[13:44] ---**
It's mostly useless, since they have to reveal their true nature
**[13:46] ---**
for the sensor to work, but...
**[13:48] ---**
Just what we needed! Let's check it out!
**[13:50] ---**
"Gun & Military ECHIGOYA Tokyo"
"Akihabara Shop"
"Staff wanted" "Gun enthusiasts welcome!!"
**[13:57] ---**
Is this the place?
**[13:59] ---**
It's pretty crowded.
**[14:00] ---**
I guess the military theme
is popular nowadays.
**[14:02] ---**
Maybe the pay is real.
**[14:04] ---**
Thanks to Admiral Connection and Tank Girls,
**[14:08] ---**
the popularity of military-themed things
is at an all-time high.
**[14:10] ---**
I see.
**[14:11] ---**
It's just a bunch of shallow fans
chasing the latest fad.
**[14:15] ---**
Oh? Is Tamotsu a bona fide
hardcore military otaku?
**[14:19] ---**
Actually, I don't know much.
**[14:21] ---**
Unexpected! Do you think all
Japanese fighter planes are Type Zero?
**[14:26] ---**
It's not?
**[14:27] ---**
Die, casual users! Die!
**[14:30] ---**
Are you listening to me, maggots?!
**[14:32] ---**
I have nothing of value
to sell to you putrid scum!
**[14:39] ---**
What's going on?!
**[14:50] ---**
Bugged Ones?!
**[14:51] ---**
Look!
**[14:52] ---**
It's off the charts.
**[14:53] ---**
Is he the boss?!
**[14:55] ---**
...only serious maggots
in the know are welcome!
**[14:57] ---**
He's the owner of this store!
**[14:57] ---**
"Manager Hardman"
**[14:59] ---**
That's a high-class! Let's go, Tamotsu!
**[15:01] ---**
Huh? Go? What?
**[15:03] ---**
Just do what you did yesterday!
**[15:06] ---**
I go, too! Whee!
**[15:08] ---**
Dammit!
**[15:15] ---**
What are you, vigilantes?!
**[15:17] ---**
Fine, this is war!
**[15:28] ---**
Ow!
**[15:29] ---**
Dodge them all!
**[15:30] ---**
Don't be silly...
**[15:32] ---**
Okay! I dodge!
**[15:36] ---**
Moi!
**[15:40] ---**
Counterattack time!
**[15:41] ---**
How is she doing that?!
**[15:43] ---**
Not the time for that!
**[15:45] ---**
How?!
**[15:49] ---**
Those moves, are they one of us?!
In that case--
**[15:52] ---**
Sir! The enemy is approaching!
**[15:54] ---**
I can see that, you idiot!
**[15:55] ---**
Maggots! Prepare special ammunition!
**[15:58] ---**
Sir! yes, manger sir!
**[16:02] ---**
Ma? Tamotsu?
**[16:05] ---**
My body, it's burning up!
**[16:08] ---**
What a weapon...
**[16:10] ---**
Ha, ha, ha! Witness the power
of the disrobing rounds!
**[16:13] ---**
It's hot...
**[16:15] ---**
We can't lose any more clothing... Retreat!
**[16:18] ---**
Dammit, tactical retreat!
**[16:21] ---**
Sir, the enemy has retreated.
**[16:23] ---**
I can see that, you idiot!
**[16:29] ---**
I thought I was going to die.
**[16:32] ---**
Hey! Are you causing trouble again?!
**[16:37] ---**
We don't have time for...
**[16:38] ---**
Huh? Are you having a naked good time?
**[16:41] ---**
That's none of your business.
**[16:43] ---**
Of course it is! We can't let some
random interlopers do as they please!
**[16:46] ---**
It'll ruin the good name
of the Chuo Dori Vigilantes!
**[16:49] ---**
Oh, you're the random interloper.
**[16:51] ---**
Huh?! You wanna fight?
**[16:54] ---**
Look! Above you!
**[16:57] ---**
Oh no!
**[16:59] ---**
Run!
**[17:02] ---**
What... What are those?!
**[17:05] ---**
Bugged Ones. You must have heard of them.
**[17:09] ---**
Bugged Ones...?
**[17:10] ---**
But that's an urban legend, right?
**[17:12] ---**
It's up to you, whether you
want to believe it or not.
**[17:15] ---**
But the truth is, Akiba is in danger.
**[17:18] ---**
And you've tasked yourselves
with defending it.
**[17:21] ---**
We are the same!
**[17:23] ---**
Ma and Tamotsu are fighting
to protect Akiba, too!
**[17:26] ---**
The feeling is the same with you!
**[17:30] ---**
B-But...
**[17:31] ---**
Feel! Be friendly! We are all vigilantes!
**[17:37] ---**
Let's leave these guys,
we need to think of something.
**[17:41] ---**
Yes.
**[17:42] ---**
Let's go, Arisa!
**[17:43] ---**
Wait!
**[17:45] ---**
Let us help.
**[17:49] ---**
--Help?
--But we were...
**[17:51] ---**
I call for a truce.
**[17:52] ---**
I don't believe this Bugged Ones nonsense,
but keeping the peace at Akiba is our job.
**[17:58] ---**
Let me remind you, I'm not doing this for you.
**[18:00] ---**
Oh! A yandere!
**[18:01] ---**
Close, but no.
**[18:03] ---**
But...
**[18:04] ---**
Why not? The more the merrier.
**[18:07] ---**
Besides, I have a plan.
**[18:09] ---**
Even if we fail, you can just
revive me again, like last time.
**[18:13] ---**
Huh? But...
**[18:14] ---**
Move, move! We must protect Akiba!
**[18:25] ---**
I'll handle the outside!
**[18:27] ---**
Let's go!
**[18:29] ---**
I always fought alone...
**[18:33] ---**
I thought that was enough...
**[18:38] ---**
It's them!
**[18:39] ---**
I can see that!
**[18:40] ---**
Go!
**[18:48] ---**
I'll handle the Kurobugs,
you get the manager!
**[18:51] ---**
Got it!
**[18:54] ---**
Manager, why do this?!
**[18:57] ---**
I have no need for unfaithful cockroaches
who are driven by trends!
**[19:01] ---**
My shop is only for knowledgeable elites,
who truly deserve to have hobbies!
**[19:07] ---**
The most this casual scum deserves
is to become pawns in my army,
**[19:11] ---**
to conquer all of Akiba!
**[19:14] ---**
Hah! You have to treat newcomers well.
That's the only way any content can survive.
**[19:18] ---**
Everyone started off as a casual user.
**[19:20] ---**
I'm sure you used to think all
Japanese warplanes were called Type Zero!
**[19:25] ---**
Huh?! Um... No! Of course not!
**[19:29] ---**
I knew about Hayate and Kikka
from the day I was born!
**[19:35] ---**
There! That should be
enough disrobing rounds to...
**[19:44] ---**
Dammit!
**[19:48] ---**
Royal Ultra Super Miracle God Hand!
**[19:54] ---**
Sir! It's a suicide attack!
**[19:57] ---**
I... I can see... that!
**[20:00] ---**
Mission complete.
**[20:03] ---**
--Great!
--Wow!
**[20:04] ---**
He did it!
**[20:07] ---**
Thanks, leader!
**[20:10] ---**
I demand you take responsibility for this...
**[20:12] ---**
Right, now the manager should
return to a normal human...
**[20:18] ---**
Huh?!
**[20:19] ---**
You're the same...
**[20:22] ---**
Lesser Bugged Ones, who are just
being possessed by a Kurobug,
**[20:24] ---**
will return to being a normal human
after being disrobed.
**[20:28] ---**
High-class Bugged Ones and us Hazoku...
We will evaporate, if we are disrobed.
**[20:35] ---**
There's no going back
to being a human for us.
**[20:38] ---**
Tamotsu, you are the same.
**[20:40] ---**
I'm sorry... I should have told you sooner...
**[20:46] ---**
So... I...
**[20:48] ---**
Tamotsu...
**[20:48] ---**
...should have a good time while I can?!
**[20:50] ---**
Huh?!
**[20:51] ---**
If I don't know how long I have to live,
**[20:53] ---**
I should see and buy all sorts of things,
so I don't have any regrets, right?!
**[20:57] ---**
Uh, um...
**[20:58] ---**
All right! Time for play!
**[21:00] ---**
For that, I need to find a job
and make tons of cash!
**[21:03] ---**
Let's go to that agency again!
**[21:05] ---**
Hey! Wait!
**[21:07] ---**
Is he... just a real idiot?
**[21:11] ---**
Phew, that's about all of them.
**[21:15] ---**
A brawl in the back streets of Akiba!
**[21:17] ---**
Sources say it's a military otaku infight!
**[21:20] ---**
Come on, otaku, let's all get along, am I right?
**[21:23] ---**
And that's it for the news for this afternoon,
**[21:26] ---**
brought to you by GonTuber, Masuto Niikura.
**[21:32] ---**
This is looking really forced,
no matter how we spin it.
**[21:35] ---**
Information control is
really getting out of hand--
**[21:36] ---**
And it's your job to figure out how!
**[21:39] ---**
Yes...
**[21:40] ---**
I did not expect the high-class Metrotica
member to be taken down so easily...
**[21:49] ---**
I may need to play my next move.
**[23:24] ---**
Niwaka, ever heard of the Earphones?
**[23:25] ---**
O-Of course I have! Why are you
being such a direct salesman?!
**[23:27] ---**
I'm just trying to recommend things
to you that have true value...
**[23:30] ---**
You're sounding just like those people
who sell art on the street!

**[00:03] ---**
"Amazing Singer Idols--
Great Assembly"
**[00:09] ---**
Niwaka, what are you watching?
**[00:12] ---**
It's Io Shiota's concert.
**[00:14] ---**
Shiota... Io?
**[00:16] ---**
*Moi*! Tamotsu, you must not know?!
**[00:19] ---**
She is an Akiba idol, who used to
be the center singer for GNZ34.
**[00:21] ---**
She is gaining popularity
through her cute looks,
**[00:26] ---**
and her contrasting cold attitude
at hand-shaking events!
**[00:29] ---**
Idols, huh...
**[00:49] ---**
No, it can't be...
**[02:22] ---**
"TRIP 3 - What Happens When You Mindlessly
Follow Someone Who Offers You an Idol Debut"
**[02:31] ---**
"I love Shiota"
**[02:43] ---**
I'm home.
**[02:49] ---**
*Moi*! It's Upgraded Tamotsu,
Concert Full Armor Combat Mode!
**[02:53] ---**
Where have you been, Tamotsu?
**[02:55] ---**
Huh? Io-*chan*'s concert, of course.
**[02:58] ---**
We promised to go on patrol
together today, remember?
**[03:02] ---**
Did we? Sorry.
**[03:06] ---**
Oh, well. It's a bit late,
but we can still go on patrol...
**[03:10] ---**
Ah, no, no. I have to watch
Io-*chan*'s concert review broadcast.
**[03:15] ---**
Can't you watch a recording later?!
**[03:18] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[03:20] ---**
You have to watch live,
and make comments. That's the whole point.
**[03:24] ---**
Boy, that concert today was great.
**[03:27] ---**
The classic "5 Seconds Till You
Get Pulled Off" was great as usual,
**[03:32] ---**
but that new song
"Keep Your Slimy Hands Off..."
**[03:35] ---**
She must not have been able
to practice that one enough,
**[03:38] ---**
because she couldn't hit
the high notes, and that was really...
**[03:40] ---**
Enough!
**[03:46] ---**
Why is she so mad?
**[03:48] ---**
Hi! Welcome to Carl's!
**[03:52] ---**
As we stand idle, they could be
pushing forward with their conspiracies.
**[03:58] ---**
This is not the time to
start fixating on idols...
**[04:02] ---**
I shouldn't have done all of that
to save that guy...
**[04:14] ---**
Hello-meow! Master,
Teddy in the Pool Curry Rice,
**[04:19] ---**
and OMG So Cute Bunny Parfait, understood.
**[04:23] ---**
One strawberry picked!
**[04:28] ---**
Hey.
**[04:30] ---**
Hey, Kage-*san*.
**[04:31] ---**
What are you listening to?
**[04:33] ---**
It's Io-*chan*'s new song.
It's a web-only remix that...
**[04:38] ---**
Oh, so now you're into idols?
**[04:42] ---**
If you're going to listen to music,
why don't you go for higher quality?
**[04:46] ---**
You don't need to go so far as to
get a portable headphone amplifier,
**[04:49] ---**
but just using different in-ear speakers
can be a big difference.
**[04:52] ---**
Here, try my in-ear speakers.
**[04:55] ---**
It's a canal-type, it might feel
a bit awkward at first...
**[05:01] ---**
Anal-type...?
**[05:02] ---**
No. Just stick it in your ears.
**[05:12] ---**
"G-Earphones"
**[05:14] ---**
"First Place" "Second Place" "Third Place"
"EOT87 Recommended"
"STEX GON55-1 Great balance!!"
**[05:15] ---**
Hmm... The good ones do cost quite a bit...
**[05:20] ---**
If I'm going to spend this kind of money,
**[05:22] ---**
I might as well get
something that looks cool.
**[05:25] ---**
"High quality"
**[05:27] ---**
A high-quality model
emphasizing sound quality...
**[05:33] ---**
Ugh!
**[05:34] ---**
May I help you, sir?
**[05:37] ---**
No, uh... Why are
these headphones so expensive?
**[05:41] ---**
Not "headphones." They are "ear speakers."
**[05:50] ---**
Hey, Big Bro, did you get new headphones?
**[05:53] ---**
Not "headphones." They are "ear speakers."
**[06:00] ---**
Yes, I know of him.
**[06:02] ---**
I see, he went with ear speakers...
**[06:08] ---**
He's going to have a hard time.
**[06:11] ---**
Yes. They say the road to hell is paved
with pure audio enthusiasts...
**[06:19] ---**
Sporting the latest core parts,
**[06:21] ---**
like the newly developed
high-quality digital-analog converter,
**[06:25] ---**
with this 192KHz 24bit player, even the
short lifespan of the pickup is a loveable quirk!
**[06:34] ---**
Tradition is the cutting edge!
**[06:36] ---**
A power amp that purposefully
connects a 5-pin tube as a 3-pin!
**[06:41] ---**
I don't really understand, but if it was done
on purpose, it must be awesome somehow!
**[06:46] ---**
What is this?!
The ultimate evolution in speakers!
**[06:50] ---**
Perfect playback of sounds
outside the range of the human ear!
**[06:54] ---**
Limited edition, 180g heavy-weight
half speed mastered disc!
**[06:59] ---**
Mastered by the legendary
Ted Grandman himself!
**[07:02] ---**
Easily tens of thousands
of yen at an auction!
**[07:05] ---**
Now that I have vinyl, I gotta get a player!
**[07:07] ---**
As a young man, I can't resist
the visual appeal of this gadget!
**[07:11] ---**
Does money really make the world go around?
**[07:13] ---**
Pure gold audio cable whose value
only true believers can feel!
**[07:18] ---**
Is it non-science? No, it's true!
**[07:21] ---**
A mysterious stone that improves
sound quality by placing it on your player!
**[07:25] ---**
"Hydrogen water ion generator"
**[07:26] ---**
It distributes a special particle
into the air to shape sound waves!
**[07:30] ---**
Achieves astounding audio quality!
**[07:33] ---**
I had to give up building my own
electric pole due to budget reasons...
**[07:37] ---**
But after pursuing the art of audio this far,
I have finally reached the truth...
**[07:44] ---**
Idol songs are best heard live!
**[07:53] ---**
Yes, the passion in the venue,
**[07:56] ---**
this feeling of unity, focusing our
feverish attention on just one person...
**[08:00] ---**
This is true idol fandom.
**[08:06] ---**
Wow, that was great...
**[08:09] ---**
Hmm?
**[08:10] ---**
"To: Mr. Tamotsu Denkigai"
**[08:10] ---**
A credit card bill, here?
**[08:17] ---**
"Amount due:"
**[08:21] ---**
I guess I have no choice but to...
**[08:23] ---**
"Mashiro's Anything Goes Agency"
**[08:24] ---**
...find some part-time work!
**[08:26] ---**
Hello, welcome to the Anything Goes Agency!
What can I do for you today?
**[08:31] ---**
I need a job.
**[08:34] ---**
Another part-time job? What kind?
**[08:38] ---**
Something that pays well
and pays quick. It can be tough.
**[08:42] ---**
Did you just say you'll do anything?
**[08:47] ---**
Um, no, not exactly...
**[08:50] ---**
If you need the cash...
**[08:53] ---**
...I have a good job for you!
**[08:57] ---**
First idols, then work?
**[09:00] ---**
Will he ever take
Electric Mayonnaise seriously?
**[09:03] ---**
Big Bro can get really fixated on something
and lose sight of everything else...
**[09:09] ---**
I'm sorry to make you cover for your brother.
**[09:13] ---**
It's fine.
**[09:15] ---**
But I understand why
Tamotsu can get into idols.
**[09:20] ---**
Idols are dreams! Everyone adores them!
**[09:23] ---**
I'd like to get discovered on the street
and pursue the art of idols myself.
**[09:29] ---**
You there!
**[09:32] ---**
Yes, this is how that would happen...
**[09:37] ---**
Do you want to become idols?
**[09:42] ---**
What?!
**[09:50] ---**
"Great Emperor Records"
"Super Ultra Hyper Media Producer"
"Representative Chibusa Benikage"
**[09:51] ---**
Chibusa Benikage...?
**[09:53] ---**
Who's that?
**[09:54] ---**
Don't you know?!
**[09:56] ---**
Chibusa Benikage dominated the idol scene
**[09:57] ---**
with her voluptuous body and performance!
**[10:00] ---**
She then produced a play
based on her own experience
**[10:02] ---**
with the shadowy secrets of the industry,
**[10:04] ---**
"Why They Don't Pay,"
which succeeded tremendously!
**[10:06] ---**
She's a super ultra hyper media producer!
**[10:10] ---**
I'm honored that you know.
**[10:13] ---**
And I am Naisu Muramura,
dedicated photographer.
**[10:15] ---**
"Freelance photographer"
"Naisu Muramura"
**[10:17] ---**
I see within the three of you
the glimmer of an uncut gem...
**[10:22] ---**
A trio of idols, preparing to
take flight into the future!
**[10:26] ---**
What do you think? Would you
be interested in making a debut as idols?
**[10:30] ---**
Well, that's quite sudden...
**[10:33] ---**
Yes. I have a very important mission.
I can't be wasting my time with--
**[10:38] ---**
Oh, yes, I do!
**[10:40] ---**
The three of us will become idols
and become the shining star of Akiba!
**[10:45] ---**
It's settled then!
**[10:47] ---**
*Kylla*!
**[10:48] ---**
"Lesson Room"
**[10:50] ---**
"Ma" for Matome!
**[10:51] ---**
"Ni" for Niwaka!
**[10:52] ---**
"A" for Arisa!
**[10:54] ---**
From today, you three are...
**[10:57] ---**
"Manias"
**[10:57] ---**
The Manias!
**[11:00] ---**
No idol can succeed without a good body!
Work up your stamina!
**[11:18] ---**
Now train for the hand-shaking event!
**[11:22] ---**
Thank you!
**[11:24] ---**
Nice to meet you!
**[11:27] ---**
Thanks for your support!
**[11:30] ---**
Keep you smiles!
**[11:44] ---**
Is this all part of being an idol?
**[11:47] ---**
Not sure, but this is standard nowadays!
**[11:51] ---**
Spirit, spirit, spirit all the way!
**[11:53] ---**
"Gonzo Transportation"
**[11:53] ---**
Here is your delivery!
**[11:55] ---**
Thank you!
**[12:08] ---**
Oh no!
**[12:22] ---**
Oh, real good...
**[12:30] ---**
Oh, yeah! Oh, so good...
**[12:37] ---**
Oh, yeah, yeah! Oh, so good...
**[12:41] ---**
Um... What is this for?
**[12:44] ---**
It's material, for your "image video."
**[12:51] ---**
Another job?
**[12:53] ---**
Yes. Is there anything that pays better?
**[12:56] ---**
How about cleaning at this building?
**[13:00] ---**
Wait, isn't this the...
**[13:02] ---**
Maybe while you're on the job,
you can see something special...
**[13:08] ---**
Oh, really...
**[13:12] ---**
Hmm... I can't choose...
**[13:16] ---**
I can't wear swimsuits...
**[13:18] ---**
What? You've come this far, go all the way!
**[13:22] ---**
No, I...
**[13:24] ---**
Oh, right. Mayo dies if
she reveals herself too much.
**[13:28] ---**
Oh... That could be a problem.
**[13:31] ---**
Y-Yes! So I can't do swimsuits...
**[13:36] ---**
*Moi*!
**[13:37] ---**
I have a plan!
**[13:56] ---**
Oh, that's good... Let's start shooting then.
**[14:01] ---**
Um, that's fine,
**[14:04] ---**
but who are those people? I'm a bit worried.
**[14:06] ---**
Don't worry, they're the shower squad.
**[14:10] ---**
Shower squad...?
**[14:13] ---**
Here we go!
**[14:15] ---**
Oh, that feels good!
**[14:23] ---**
Oh, yes, that's nice...
**[14:27] ---**
Mayo, a little more smile, please...
**[14:30] ---**
That's good! Oh, yeah...
**[14:33] ---**
--Oh, yeah, yeah! Oh, yeah!
**[14:34] ---**
--I got this!
--Oh, yeah, yeah! Oh, yeah!
**[14:36] ---**
Okay, let's get on all fours.
**[14:41] ---**
Oh, that's good...
**[14:45] ---**
Pose, pose!
**[14:46] ---**
Oh, that's nice...
**[14:51] ---**
Feel the sexy...
**[14:53] ---**
Oh, that's great! I'm getting excited...
**[14:57] ---**
Okay, let's take just your top off.
**[15:01] ---**
Okay!
**[15:03] ---**
Wait! That's totally not acceptable!
**[15:05] ---**
You might be dumb,
but take care of yourself a bit!
**[15:09] ---**
R-Right...
**[15:10] ---**
If I show too much now, I
have nothing to fall back
**[15:13] ---**
to when my career goes south...
**[15:15] ---**
Come on, you. Don't spoil this.
**[15:19] ---**
I told you, no idol can succeed
without a good body.
**[15:25] ---**
You never said we'd have to do this, though!
**[15:27] ---**
Wait, this is just a typical scam
to get people to film pornography!
**[15:32] ---**
I can't put up with this!
Let's get out of here!
**[15:34] ---**
Hmm, that's not nice.
**[15:38] ---**
If you must resist, we may
have to use force, do you understand?
**[15:44] ---**
What?
**[15:48] ---**
You all are Bugged Ones!
**[15:50] ---**
Hmm, we were planning to control Akiba
**[15:54] ---**
through an extremely
revealing idol as a figurehead,
**[15:56] ---**
but this is bad!
**[15:59] ---**
No wonder! I knew something
was wrong from the start!
**[16:02] ---**
I wanted you to dream
of becoming idols until the end,
**[16:07] ---**
but I guess that's out of the picture now.
**[16:11] ---**
Attack!
**[16:20] ---**
Run, Niwaka!
**[16:22] ---**
Y-Yes!
**[16:28] ---**
Ouch...
**[16:32] ---**
Shower Squad!
**[16:34] ---**
We will protect you.
**[16:37] ---**
You must run.
**[16:40] ---**
Oh no! So weak!
**[16:47] ---**
Big Bro!
**[16:54] ---**
Can it be...?
**[16:56] ---**
He really came!
**[16:57] ---**
Are you okay, Niwaka?
**[16:59] ---**
Who are you?!
**[17:01] ---**
I'm your part-time janitor!
**[17:03] ---**
But, just to be clear...
**[17:04] ---**
I'm cleaning you up, you villains!
**[17:11] ---**
Hey! Stop showing off and help!
**[17:15] ---**
Come on, let me enjoy this for just a bit!
**[17:20] ---**
He's the commander!
If we can take him out...!
**[17:26] ---**
Got it!
**[17:26] ---**
Not on my watch!
**[17:53] ---**
Arisa!
**[17:55] ---**
This one is high-class!
**[18:02] ---**
Mayo!
**[18:14] ---**
I've pushed through many
idol concert mosh pits...
**[18:17] ---**
I had no problem running past
that small group!
**[18:20] ---**
Hmm, impressive!
**[18:24] ---**
Your conspiracies will be laid bare!
**[18:27] ---**
Hmm, laughable!
Nobody wants to see a man naked!
**[18:41] ---**
Super Ultra Mega Spin
Tornado Disrobing Hurricane!
**[18:47] ---**
Fly away!
**[18:49] ---**
What a bad ending!
**[18:56] ---**
You did it!
**[19:03] ---**
What have I been doing...?
**[19:10] ---**
I see...
**[19:12] ---**
I'm sorry I caused you so much trouble.
**[19:16] ---**
It's not your fault.
It's the Bugged Ones controlling you.
**[19:21] ---**
I don't have a clear memory of what
I was doing while under their control.
**[19:26] ---**
But it is true that I saw
potential in you three as idols.
**[19:31] ---**
As a token of my apology,
may I work for you as your producer?
**[19:38] ---**
Seriously?!
**[21:32] ---**
Our first concert and this
is all the attention we get?
**[21:37] ---**
There was nothing we could do,
**[21:38] ---**
it was all too sudden and we
didn't have time to publicize.
**[21:41] ---**
I actually don't mind...
**[21:45] ---**
Encore, encore!
**[21:46] ---**
Yay, yay!
**[23:26] ---**
And thus, we built a tower reaching out
to the skies and named it Babel...
**[23:30] ---**
Oh, Tamotsu! So cool,
like a complex anime show!
**[23:32] ---**
Next episode is about the Akiba Tree!
**[23:33] ---**
Not the red tower, or the one in the sky?

"Akihabara"
**[00:04] ---**
Akihabara, the city of dreams,
**[00:06] ---**
is now under threat from mysterious
monstrosities, known as the Bugged Ones.
**[00:11] ---**
The people of the city formed
vigilante organizations to resist them,
**[00:14] ---**
but the invasion of the Bugged Ones
only grew worse each day.
**[00:18] ---**
This is a story of Tamotsu Denkigai,
**[00:21] ---**
a young man who gained
the power of the Bugged Ones,
**[00:24] ---**
and his merry friends, who stood up
to defend the peace in Akihabara.
**[00:26] ---**
"Electric Mayonnaise"
**[00:38] ---**
Got it! Now I have
clear reception in the VHF range,
**[00:41] ---**
so I can catch everything
from Hokkaido and Okinawa!
**[00:44] ---**
Of course, the beam antenna
allows much better reach!
**[00:47] ---**
After getting Amateur Fourth 10 years ago,
**[00:49] ---**
I've finally climbed to Amateur First,
so I should be spending at least this much...
**[00:52] ---**
What's that...?
**[00:53] ---**
It's an antenna, for amateur radio.
**[00:55] ---**
Amateur radio?
**[00:57] ---**
He's had an antenna in the house
since elementary school.
**[01:01] ---**
After spending time in
the radio shops in Akihabara,
**[01:04] ---**
I think the passion is back.
**[01:05] ---**
Is he tired of idols already...?
**[01:08] ---**
Does he have to have such a giant antenna...?
**[01:10] ---**
Oh, looking good!
**[01:12] ---**
Conditions are good today,
**[01:14] ---**
--maybe we can get a sporadic E...
--A typhoon is approaching Yonaguni Island...
**[01:17] ---**
Gotcha! Area 6! Woo-hoo!
**[01:20] ---**
Radio-o!
**[01:22] ---**
Tamotsu!
**[01:26] ---**
Hey, professor! Watch it!
**[01:28] ---**
Sorry, sorry.
**[01:31] ---**
But don't you see? It's the
perfect day for radios today!
**[03:06] ---**
"TRIP 4 - Ham Radio Fighters"
**[03:09] ---**
This is Tamotsu, calling Arisa.
What's your status?
**[03:12] ---**
This is Arisa. Target in sight.
Awaiting orders, over!
**[03:16] ---**
This is Niwaka. You found
the target? Great! Over.
**[03:20] ---**
Tamotsu to Arisa:
hold position, we will confirm.
**[03:25] ---**
This is Arisa. We have to hurry,
or else we'll lose it!
**[03:28] ---**
Tamotsu to Arisa: stay put! Patience!
**[03:31] ---**
I can't wait any longer!
**[03:33] ---**
Arisa, going in!
**[03:36] ---**
Beat you to it!
**[03:37] ---**
We are number one!
Rare item grabbed at bargain price!
**[03:41] ---**
Arisa, you idiot! That other shop
had it for 120 yen cheaper!
**[03:45] ---**
I told you to stay put, over!
**[03:47] ---**
Niwaka to Big Bro: stop being
so cheap so loud! Over!
**[03:52] ---**
Tamotsu to Niwaka...
**[03:53] ---**
Why do you have to transmit
so close to each other?
**[03:56] ---**
I can't help it, I can only use this
within a 30-meter radius in cities...
**[04:01] ---**
"Fuji Radios and Electronics"
**[04:01] ---**
So...
**[04:05] ---**
Time to improve our
communication infrastructure!
**[04:08] ---**
Fuji Radio Electronics store,
you truly have everything!
**[04:13] ---**
Oh, wow! The legendary Truo TO830!
**[04:16] ---**
Oh, wow! The Yagesu GT101-Z!
**[04:20] ---**
This is the FGDX9000, and DS990!
Oh, the rare Kenrod M2400!
**[04:27] ---**
It even has the UT-1200 and UT430S
add-ons for triple-band support!
**[04:33] ---**
Vacuum tube amp, Yagesu SL-2100!
**[04:37] ---**
A 572B at the final step... Hmm...
**[04:41] ---**
Even with automatic tuning
and clear digital signals,
**[04:45] ---**
this feeling of warmth can never be beat!
**[04:50] ---**
Cleared for flight...
Radar guidance for landing...
**[04:54] ---**
Hey! That sounds kind of top secret!
**[04:57] ---**
Are we allowed to listen to this?!
**[04:58] ---**
*Moi*, listening in as a hobby is no problem.
**[05:02] ---**
W-Wow! A new product!
**[05:04] ---**
This can send pictures digitally,
and connect via VoIP...
**[05:08] ---**
Why bother with transceivers?
Why not just use a smartphone?
**[05:12] ---**
"Calling hand-held two-way radios
a 'transceiver' is a commonly made mistake."
**[05:12] ---**
Hand-held! This is called a hand-held!
**[05:13] ---**
"The term 'transceiver' is a general term
that is used for all two-way radios."
**[05:14] ---**
"Meanwhile, hand-held types
are called handies or hand-helds."
**[05:15] ---**
Huh?
**[05:16] ---**
Radio waves travel differently every day.
**[05:19] ---**
We have to hone our skills, tech,
and creativity to capture the waves accurately.
**[05:24] ---**
Amateur radio includes a sense
of adventure and curiosity
**[05:27] ---**
that modern humans have forgotten.
**[05:30] ---**
It also allows people from around the world
to communicate anywhere, anytime...
**[05:35] ---**
These simple radio waves create
a ton of fun, similar to treasure hunting!
**[05:39] ---**
I see.
**[05:40] ---**
Smartphones are indeed useful.
**[05:42] ---**
But in the end, it is just a console
for accessing an environment
**[05:45] ---**
built by some corporation.
**[05:47] ---**
If we only relied on that,
we are like unthinking androids.
**[05:51] ---**
We must build our own connections
with other humans.
**[05:55] ---**
Okay...
**[05:56] ---**
This is why I have a hand-held shell
covering my smartphone.
**[06:01] ---**
Yeah, sure...
**[06:02] ---**
We must now--
**[06:07] ---**
What's this?!
**[06:08] ---**
It's tearing my ear drums up!
**[06:10] ---**
What the... Whoa!
**[06:17] ---**
There!
**[06:30] ---**
When did this get here?!
**[06:32] ---**
It's like Tokyo Tower!
**[06:34] ---**
What in the...
**[06:36] ---**
It looks like the legendary
Akihabara Tower...
**[06:39] ---**
Indeed!
**[06:40] ---**
This is the Akihabara Tower...
Also known as Tokyo Tower 2...
**[06:46] ---**
We shall retake our dream,
robbed from us by the Sumida Ward!
**[06:49] ---**
Hey! A Bugged One!
**[06:51] ---**
My special Bugged One Waves
emitted from this tower
**[06:55] ---**
destroy all communications devices...
**[06:58] ---**
Its power is far stronger
than ordinary radio towers!
**[07:02] ---**
This tower will become
the strongest radio tower in Japan!
**[07:07] ---**
What?! I won't let you have your way!
**[07:11] ---**
Hmph! Prepare microwave attack!
**[07:20] ---**
Our clothes?!
**[07:21] ---**
No!
**[07:26] ---**
How do you like my
special microwave attack?
**[07:30] ---**
It's fantastic...
**[07:31] ---**
It's like being thrown inside
a microwave oven...
**[07:37] ---**
Enjoy the power of
the Bugged One radio wave!
**[07:48] ---**
Ow!
**[07:50] ---**
Hmm, I see.
**[07:51] ---**
An enemy that fights with
radio waves. This is troublesome.
**[07:54] ---**
Akiba is in chaos!
**[07:56] ---**
Computers and smartphones
are blowing up all over the place.
**[07:59] ---**
I guess the only way to stop those
radio waves is to destroy that tower...
**[08:02] ---**
But we can't even get close to it.
**[08:05] ---**
The Tokyo Tower 2 dream is a nightmare!
**[08:09] ---**
Tokyo Tower 2?!
**[08:10] ---**
Yes, that's what the owner
of the tower said.
**[08:13] ---**
"Retaking the dream," or something.
**[08:16] ---**
Hmm... I see...
**[08:19] ---**
That Bugged One is probably someone I know.
**[08:22] ---**
What?!
**[08:23] ---**
What do you mean?
**[08:24] ---**
I must get help from my teacher,
from back in my Tsukuba days.
**[08:29] ---**
Tsukuba days?
**[08:30] ---**
Professor Latu used to be a researcher
**[08:32] ---**
at the Cutting-Edge Science Center in Tsukuba.
**[08:35] ---**
Cutting-edge science?
**[08:37] ---**
*Moi*! A chosen elite!
**[08:39] ---**
How did you end up learning
about Bugged Ones in Akiba...?
**[08:42] ---**
Yes... It was an ambiguous
number of years ago...
**[08:47] ---**
"Tsukuba City (X years ago)"
**[08:47] ---**
Back then, the Tsukuba Express
was not yet in operation.
**[08:51] ---**
"Japan Cutting-Edge Science Center"
**[08:51] ---**
The Science Center in Tsukuba was home
to researchers from all over the world.
**[08:56] ---**
Although the Bugged Ones
weren't as active then,
**[08:58] ---**
we knew they worked
behind the scenes in Akihabara.
**[09:02] ---**
I worked with Denko Busujima,
the owner of the tower, to study them.
**[09:07] ---**
We were instructed and aided
by our teacher, Professor Yagyuda,
**[09:11] ---**
a leading researcher of all sciences,
including paranormal phenomena.
**[09:16] ---**
He was the one that
recommended us to study
**[09:19] ---**
the Bugged Ones in their
natural habitat--Akihabara.
**[09:24] ---**
I didn't know you had such a past...
**[09:27] ---**
Which part of that was sad?
**[09:28] ---**
And how does the
Tokyo Tower 2 thing come in?
**[09:32] ---**
Through research, we found
that the Bugged Ones emit
**[09:35] ---**
a weak but very distinct radio wave.
**[09:38] ---**
Because of this, we set our eyes
on a certain project.
**[09:41] ---**
Have you heard of the plans to build
a replacement for the Tokyo Tower,
**[09:46] ---**
a Tokyo Tower 2, in Akihabara?
**[09:48] ---**
Sounds vaguely familiar...?
**[09:49] ---**
It was over ten years ago.
**[09:52] ---**
If we had that huge antenna,
**[09:54] ---**
we would have easily been able to
detect and study the faint radio waves.
**[09:56] ---**
Denko and Professor Yagyuda
spent all of their personal wealth
**[09:59] ---**
to try to invite the tower to Akihabara.
**[10:01] ---**
They tried, and tried, and tried,
and tried, and tried, and tried, and tried,
**[10:05] ---**
and tried, and tried,
and tried, and tried! And--
**[10:13] ---**
That's hilarious!
**[10:14] ---**
So that's why she fixates on the tower...
**[10:16] ---**
Professor Yagyuda is also very
knowledgeable about radio waves.
**[10:19] ---**
He should have a solution
for this case, too!
**[10:23] ---**
However, there is one problem...
**[10:25] ---**
Problem?
**[10:26] ---**
After losing all of his personal wealth,
Professor Yagyuda traveled to Brazil.
**[10:31] ---**
He works there as a *garimpeiro*
to generate funds for research.
**[10:34] ---**
Gary Pale?
**[10:35] ---**
Got'em Pay Low?
**[10:36] ---**
A prospector in the Amazons, right?
**[10:39] ---**
So Professor Yagyuda is out
in the wilderness in Brazil,
**[10:42] ---**
but thanks to that tower, we can't
use the phone or send an email.
**[10:47] ---**
He wouldn't be able
to receive them anyway.
**[10:49] ---**
Therefore, we need an alternate
method of communication.
**[10:52] ---**
Alternate...
**[10:54] ---**
Hey!
**[10:55] ---**
Radio!
**[10:56] ---**
We can contact
Professor Garimpeiro with the radio!
**[11:01] ---**
Radios can't be hacked, it's invincible!
**[11:04] ---**
Really?!
**[11:05] ---**
Y-Yes! That is precisely why I asked
Tamotsu to set up that antenna!
**[11:10] ---**
Really?
**[11:11] ---**
But... Isn't Brazil on
the other side of the planet?
**[11:14] ---**
Can you really reach them with a radio?
**[11:18] ---**
Well, about that...
**[11:19] ---**
Yes! We can!
**[11:21] ---**
You all will hear the waltz
in the stratosphere!
**[11:28] ---**
"What Are Radio Waves?"
"Connecting Via Short-Wave"
**[11:29] ---**
"Amateur Radio handbook"
"Introduction to Radio Engineering
**[11:33] ---**
Let me explain.
Communicating with Brazil is not easy!
**[11:38] ---**
We mostly have all the equipment we need,
**[11:41] ---**
but the weather and ionosphere
conditions we can't control.
**[11:44] ---**
If we could control the sun by praying,
I would pray all day long...
**[11:49] ---**
Then I will pray!
**[11:51] ---**
Oh, Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi!
**[11:55] ---**
Will Japanese gods listen to you?
**[11:59] ---**
Oh, Ukko! Ilrmarinen!
**[12:02] ---**
Now we have to be patient!
We have to wait for the "wind!"
**[12:06] ---**
Yeah!
**[12:11] ---**
Good, it seems like we are ready...
**[12:14] ---**
First of all, how do we deliver
radio waves to Brazil?
**[12:18] ---**
Radio waves normally only
travel in a straight line.
**[12:21] ---**
There is no way to reach
the other side of the Earth.
**[12:23] ---**
This is where we use something called
the ionosphere, up in the sky.
**[12:24] ---**
"Ionosphere"
**[12:27] ---**
This is a layer of atmosphere
that got ionized
**[12:30] ---**
by the sun's ultraviolet rays
and other things.
**[12:32] ---**
It reflects radio waves,
similar to how mirrors reflect light.
**[12:36] ---**
Weather, time of day, and other aspects
can make this mirror thicker.
**[12:42] ---**
Then, you can create
a chain of reflections to
**[12:45] ---**
deliver radio waves to
the other side of the world.
**[12:47] ---**
However, even then,
South America is very far away.
**[12:50] ---**
Communication by voice
would not be realistic.
**[12:53] ---**
We should use Morse code, which can be
used under less than optimal conditions.
**[12:57] ---**
We cannot have a conversation in Morse
code unless Professor Yagyuda answers.
**[13:01] ---**
First, we start by sending out a call sign,
**[13:03] ---**
and try to determine if
the radio waves reach him.
**[13:06] ---**
Hmm, let's try switching to the other antenna.
**[13:09] ---**
Niwaka, unplug that coaxial cable
and plug number three in instead.
**[13:13] ---**
Yes!
**[13:15] ---**
We may want to replace the rig, too...
**[13:17] ---**
Matome! Grab that box
from under the staircase!
**[13:20] ---**
Y-Yes!
**[13:20] ---**
The rotator is acting up! Arisa, check it out!
**[13:23] ---**
Yes!
**[13:29] ---**
Oh, Mr. Ionosphere,
please help us to save Akiba...
**[13:55] ---**
Hello! This is maid
pizza delivery, Pizza Pop!
**[13:59] ---**
Here is your extra ham pizza
and complimentary garlic chicken!
**[14:05] ---**
Wow! A *ham* pizza while
operating a radio! Good pun!
**[14:09] ---**
Niwaka placed the order
before going to school!
**[14:12] ---**
She is such a great sister-hero!
**[14:15] ---**
Working at the pizza place today?
**[14:16] ---**
Yes, there was a maid draft meeting
this month and I got this job.
**[14:21] ---**
You guys look serious!
**[14:24] ---**
We are undertaking an extremely
complex communication mission!
**[14:28] ---**
Communication?
**[14:29] ---**
Oh, the poison waves from that new antenna
sure did throw Akiba into chaos!
**[14:33] ---**
Isn't any of the gear down here affected?
**[14:37] ---**
We're underground,
which weakens the effect.
**[14:39] ---**
Also, I do have some protection
built into the walls.
**[14:42] ---**
But who knows how long that would last...
**[14:45] ---**
Wow, you're in a bit of a pickle.
**[14:46] ---**
Listen!
**[14:47] ---**
Wow! This is great, like a sci-fi movie.
**[14:50] ---**
What's this?
**[14:51] ---**
Don't touch too much!
**[15:02] ---**
Here it comes!
**[15:08] ---**
Professor! It's an "A!"
**[15:29] ---**
It's a "K!"
**[15:32] ---**
End message... "Thank you, doctor..."
**[15:37] ---**
Professor! Did you write it down?
**[15:38] ---**
Yes!
**[15:40] ---**
A, L, M, H, K...
**[15:43] ---**
Is this some kind of code?
**[15:46] ---**
Tamotsu, do you get it?
**[15:48] ---**
Hmm... It could be an acronym.
**[15:51] ---**
"Thank... You... All...
Hahaha... Kluk kluk kluk..."
**[15:56] ---**
That makes no sense whatsoever!
**[15:58] ---**
Maybe it's not alphabetical,
maybe it's the order of the letters.
**[16:02] ---**
Or it could require some sort of
mathematical reasoning...
**[16:05] ---**
I don't understand at all.
**[16:10] ---**
That's it! Arisa!
**[16:11] ---**
--Huh?
--That! That right there!
**[16:14] ---**
Hmm? There's no more chicken left!
**[16:17] ---**
No, that's not it!
**[16:18] ---**
A, L, M, H, K!
**[16:21] ---**
This is what he meant!
**[16:27] ---**
We need more material!
**[16:28] ---**
Momo! Early morning special discount
garlic chicken, one hundred orders!
**[16:33] ---**
W-What?!
**[16:40] ---**
All of the radio waves
in Akiba are mine now!
**[16:44] ---**
It has been too long...
**[16:46] ---**
For several years, I watched as they
built the tower in Narihirabashi,
**[16:49] ---**
and felt my will to live fade away...
**[16:52] ---**
But now, thanks to Metrotica,
Akihabara finally has its own tower!
**[17:00] ---**
What is it? "Old-school alien life forms"?
**[17:04] ---**
Let me see...
**[17:07] ---**
What is that?!
**[17:09] ---**
Denko Busujima!
Your radio waves are useless now!
**[17:12] ---**
I'll pull that tower down right away!
**[17:15] ---**
You can't bluff me, fool!
**[17:17] ---**
Microwave gun, fire!
**[17:24] ---**
Useless! Useless!
**[17:25] ---**
What?!
**[17:27] ---**
This outfit completely
shuts out your radio waves...
**[17:30] ---**
It's the Aluminum Foil Armor!
**[17:32] ---**
What?!
**[17:35] ---**
Let's go, Aluminum Blue, Aluminum Pink!
**[17:38] ---**
Is that us?
**[17:39] ---**
Yes, Aluminum Red!
I, Aluminum Blue, am at your side!
**[17:43] ---**
So that makes me pink?
**[17:50] ---**
Thank you, Professor Yagyuda.
**[17:54] ---**
Alumi Haku!
**[17:55] ---**
Alumi?
**[17:56] ---**
Haku?
**[17:57] ---**
Yes. You young folk call it aluminum foil.
**[18:02] ---**
Aluminum completely shuts out radio waves!
Not a single milligauss gets through!
**[18:07] ---**
With enough aluminum,
no radio waves can hurt you!
**[18:10] ---**
But I don't think a single sheet
can stop that powerful attack.
**[18:15] ---**
True, if it was just one sheet...
**[18:20] ---**
Yes, just one sheet would not be enough.
**[18:23] ---**
However, that suit totals 300
millimeters in layered aluminum!
**[18:27] ---**
With their physique, they are able
to fight in that thick metal suit!
**[18:31] ---**
We ended up eating a mountain of chicken
to get the aluminum, but...
**[18:36] ---**
Go forth, heroes!
You are more or less invincible!
**[18:40] ---**
Make up for the rest with willpower!
**[18:42] ---**
*Moi*! Willpower it is!
**[18:44] ---**
Kind of brawny, for a scientist.
**[18:46] ---**
Got it!
**[18:48] ---**
Grr... I must do something...
**[18:53] ---**
Ah! The eyes! Concentrate fire on
their eyes, there is no armor there!
**[18:59] ---**
Impossible!
**[19:08] ---**
Oh no!
**[19:15] ---**
The tower explodes in a flurry of fireworks!
**[19:18] ---**
It seems like this was all an overzealous
ad campaign from an antenna shop!
**[19:24] ---**
I hope everyone's gear gets repaired quickly,
**[19:26] ---**
so that you can see this broadcast!
**[19:34] ---**
Oh! L-La-*chan*!
**[19:36] ---**
Hey, Den-den, long time no see.
**[19:38] ---**
I guess last time I saw you was when
we saw Professor Yagyuda off to Brazil.
**[19:42] ---**
Why did you do those things?
**[19:45] ---**
It was... three days ago.
**[19:49] ---**
When my tower dreams were
shattered, I became desperate.
**[19:54] ---**
I wandered the country,
and finally ended up here to end my life.
**[20:00] ---**
But then, a woman
with a weird hat stopped me.
**[20:04] ---**
Weird hat lady said, "Don't die.
Your dreams will come true,"
**[20:09] ---**
and reached out to me.
**[20:11] ---**
When I took that hand...
**[20:20] ---**
Next thing I knew, I was
spreading waves on that tower.
**[20:24] ---**
I... I did such horrible things...
**[20:28] ---**
Don't cry. I'll make some calls
to clear your name. Don't worry.
**[20:34] ---**
If you can just stay alive, maybe someone
will build a tower in Akihabara.
**[20:40] ---**
La-*chan*...
**[20:48] ---**
Come on, let's have some drinks
and talk about old times.
**[20:52] ---**
By the way, I got a hold
of professor Yagyuda.
**[20:55] ---**
Really?
**[20:58] ---**
Hello, everyone. This is 89.3 MHz,
Mini-FM broadcast by Electro Mayo Studio.
**[20:59] ---**
"Electric- Mayo Studio"
**[21:04] ---**
As usual, we're live from Akihabara!
**[21:07] ---**
I'm your DJ, Tamotsu Denkigai.
And today's guests are...
**[21:12] ---**
...the super popular
local idol trio, the Manias!
**[21:16] ---**
Hello!
**[21:17] ---**
I hear you're doing really well!
**[21:19] ---**
The number of downloads of your new song
reached three digits, right?
**[21:22] ---**
That's right! Everyone, have you heard our
new song, "Match for Three Thousand?"
**[21:26] ---**
All right then--
**[21:27] ---**
FM radio? Why all of a sudden?
**[21:30] ---**
Hey, I'm doing free advertisement for you.
**[21:32] ---**
Who even listens to this stuff?
**[21:34] ---**
Hey, it reaches all the way to Brazil!
**[21:37] ---**
Speaking of Brazil, I like coffee.
**[21:39] ---**
Doesn't coffee sometimes smell like *natto*?
**[21:41] ---**
What does everyone put in their *natto*?
**[21:44] ---**
I'm very standard, I stick with sugar...
**[21:46] ---**
That's not standard! It's just you!
**[21:50] ---**
Without further ado, here's
"Match for Three Thousand" by Manias!
**[23:25] ---**
Street Fighter V! SF5 is coming to our show!
**[23:28] ---**
Big Bro! Aren't you supposed
to say, like, Straight Hunter, Strip Fire?
**[23:30] ---**
You know, make up a fake title?
**[23:31] ---**
Don't worry, Niwaka.
Who would have thought...
**[23:33] ---**
It's officially supported!
**[23:34] ---**
What?! Awesome!
**[23:34] ---**

"Ron"
"Mangan"
**[00:14] ---**
What are you doing to me?
I'm just a college student!
**[00:16] ---**
Big Bro! Why do you keep
playing these games?
**[00:20] ---**
This is how I'm training
to defeat the Bugged Ones!
**[00:23] ---**
I might have to face them
with mahjong at some point.
**[00:26] ---**
Oh, I see! Then I understand.
**[00:29] ---**
You're horny.
**[00:31] ---**
Not for kids!
**[00:33] ---**
Why?
**[00:34] ---**
Go play with the UFO catcher.
There was a prize you wanted, right? Here.
**[00:39] ---**
Yay!
**[00:40] ---**
Thanks, Big Bro!
**[00:43] ---**
Yay!
**[00:45] ---**
All right...
**[00:46] ---**
As ace fighter of vigilante
group Electric Mayonnaise,
**[00:49] ---**
I vow to not leave a single
layer of clothing remain!

You're pathetic! You can be my slave!
**[02:28] ---**
"TRIP 5 - No Reason I'd Lose!"
**[02:32] ---**
Well, mahjong really isn't my strong suit.
**[02:35] ---**
But seriously, this place has
a ton of interesting retro games.
**[02:39] ---**
They're all from before my time.
**[02:41] ---**
That's the legendary TV Sugoroku,
Pario the Tonchiki!
**[02:44] ---**
Hey, that's...
**[02:46] ---**
Street Fighter 2!
**[02:49] ---**
I remember I used to play this
at the candy store nearby.
**[02:53] ---**
I used to suck at fighting games,
but now I should be able to pull it off!
**[03:13] ---**
Wow, the game is a lot faster
than I remember it...
**[03:15] ---**
I don't remember the special moves either.
**[03:20] ---**
I'm starting to remember!
**[03:23] ---**
Yes! Finish!
**[03:28] ---**
A kid?
**[03:30] ---**
Playing this old game?
**[03:32] ---**
No matter. Whoever my
opponent is, I will crush them all!
**[03:50] ---**
This kid is... good!
**[04:03] ---**
It can't be! How can I get
cheesed so unilaterally?
**[04:07] ---**
There must be something wrong
with the machine!
**[04:12] ---**
Nobody who complains about the machine
has ever been good or gotten better.
**[04:19] ---**
Hey, wait!
There's one more round! Hey!
**[04:24] ---**
Have I seen that kid somewhere...?
**[04:31] ---**
Yay! I caught Shira-taro!
**[04:36] ---**
Now I have the entire Louse Quintuplet set!
**[04:39] ---**
Hey! Big Bro!
**[04:41] ---**
Hey, Niwaka.
**[04:43] ---**
I got a whole ton!
**[04:45] ---**
Oh, good job.
**[04:50] ---**
What the... What's this?!
**[04:52] ---**
Big Bro!
**[04:53] ---**
Niwaka!
**[04:56] ---**
Niwaka!
**[04:57] ---**
Big Bro, help!
**[04:59] ---**
I'm coming to help!
**[05:01] ---**
"If you hit machine,
you will be banned. And die!"
**[05:03] ---**
No! If I break the glass,
people would get mad!
**[05:06] ---**
Big Bro! Help!
**[05:10] ---**
Niwaka!
**[05:12] ---**
Dammit! Should I have risked getting banned
from this place and just broke the glass?!
**[05:15] ---**
You've improved.
**[05:17] ---**
Huh?!
**[05:18] ---**
Wha--?!
**[05:20] ---**
This time, you didn't hit the machine.
**[05:23] ---**
You improved in such a short time.
**[05:26] ---**
What's your point? Hey... Are you--?
**[05:38] ---**
"We have your sister"
**[05:40] ---**
You...!
**[05:52] ---**
Hello?
**[05:53] ---**
Niwaka's in trouble!
**[05:56] ---**
I know...
**[06:00] ---**
"Threatening letter"
"If you want your sister back,
**[06:00] ---**
"If you want your sister back,
**[06:01] ---**
join the tournament for the super popular
fighting game Street Fighter V,
**[06:02] ---**
join tomorrow's tournament for the
super popular fighting game Street Fighter V,
**[06:04] ---**
taking place tomorrow, and win.
I have registered you already.
**[06:05] ---**
We will take good care of your sister
until the results come out.
**[06:06] ---**
However, if you resist, you put
her life at risk. I'll see you at the finals."
**[06:08] ---**
and win.
**[06:09] ---**
I have registered you already.
**[06:12] ---**
We will take good care of your sister
until the results come out."
**[06:16] ---**
Hmm...
**[06:17] ---**
Now they've resorted to taking hostages.
**[06:20] ---**
But still, to win at
a fighting game tournament...
**[06:24] ---**
There is a SF5 tournament tomorrow.
**[06:29] ---**
This one.
**[06:30] ---**
"Starts this summer!!"
**[06:31] ---**
Way Way Cup Evolution Fight
in Akihabara. It's a very big event.
**[06:36] ---**
Hmm, I see...
**[06:39] ---**
Many famous gamers competing.
**[06:42] ---**
"...fight Matsuko!"
**[06:42] ---**
Oh, the winner gets to fight
against the famous Matsuko!
**[06:46] ---**
Matsuko?
**[06:47] ---**
Ma, you are Japanese and you don't know?
**[06:50] ---**
It's this girl.
**[06:52] ---**
She is the prettiest and strongest
gamer girl of this millenium.
**[06:55] ---**
She's a total genius, and has
won tournaments all over the world.
**[07:00] ---**
It's that kid!
**[07:02] ---**
What?
**[07:03] ---**
This is the kid that took Niwaka!
**[07:06] ---**
This girl?
**[07:07] ---**
Yeah! I saw her at the arcade!
**[07:09] ---**
Hmm? Moi! This is a legendary video
of Matsuko's gameplay!
**[07:22] ---**
What is this? This is beyond human...
**[07:25] ---**
She has to be a Bugged One!
**[07:27] ---**
Hmph. So the so-called
genius gamer just turned out to be
**[07:30] ---**
a Bugged One abusing her power.
**[07:32] ---**
What a turn-off.
**[07:34] ---**
So you know what you're facing,
but can you beat her?
**[07:37] ---**
She's not the only one.
**[07:39] ---**
There are many other professional
gamers at this tournament,
**[07:42] ---**
and you'd have to beat them all.
**[07:44] ---**
But I'm not very good at fighting games...
**[07:47] ---**
Training!
**[07:49] ---**
Confucius says,
"You don't know until you try!"
**[07:51] ---**
Individually deploy forces to try everything!
**[07:55] ---**
Yeah... If I get scared before I even try,
what kind of big brother would I be?
**[08:00] ---**
Let's do it! Let's train!
I will save Niwaka, no matter what!
**[08:03] ---**
I was waiting for you to utter those words!
**[08:05] ---**
Oh?
**[08:06] ---**
Doctor!
**[08:07] ---**
What's up?
**[08:08] ---**
I expected this would happen,
**[08:09] ---**
and I happened to create a
fighting game training machine.
**[08:14] ---**
You want to train, right?
**[08:23] ---**
What is this?!
**[08:24] ---**
It's the Training Machine Number One!
**[08:27] ---**
How does this help with fighting games?
**[08:29] ---**
According to my theories, immensely!
**[08:31] ---**
Hey, hey, hey! Slow down the--
**[08:36] ---**
Good!
**[08:39] ---**
Now train your reflexes with this!
**[08:43] ---**
Moi!
**[08:44] ---**
Strike!
**[08:47] ---**
Wait! Shouldn't I be at bat--
**[08:53] ---**
I swear, I'll get the next one!
**[08:59] ---**
Strike!
**[09:00] ---**
Good! Next!
**[09:02] ---**
Next, we train your toughness!
**[09:06] ---**
You have to be kidding--
**[09:11] ---**
--Help! No! Argh!
**[09:11] ---**
--Next is quick button pressing training!
--Help! No! Argh!
**[09:15] ---**
"Akiba Quiz"
**[09:16] ---**
Yes, Tamotsu! What is the answer?
**[09:18] ---**
Um... Shiki Masaoka?
**[09:23] ---**
Next! Training to withstand pressure!
**[09:26] ---**
Next! Training limbs to withstand
long hours of fighting!
**[09:31] ---**
Next! Um, for whatever reason,
burning at the stake!
**[09:36] ---**
I'm dying... Am I dying...?
**[09:40] ---**
No! I refuse to die! I must save
my sister and defeat Matsuko!
**[10:01] ---**
You did it! You mastered
the legendary 16-hits-per-second!
**[10:07] ---**
I search for someone stronger than me...
**[10:10] ---**
Just you wait, Matsuko!
**[10:18] ---**
The very first
Akiba Way Way Cup! Evolution fight!
**[10:22] ---**
Everyone, are you way-way out there?!
**[10:25] ---**
Way!
**[10:28] ---**
I will be your caster, Mashiro Kuga.
**[10:30] ---**
Our commentator is this man,
who you all know!
**[10:33] ---**
Hello.
**[10:34] ---**
Have you all read Tsurezuregusa?
**[10:37] ---**
There is a passage in there by a
master of Sugoroku...
**[10:42] ---**
I can't believe I am so calm.
I feel like I can even win a round robin.
**[10:47] ---**
But all the opponents look so formidable!
**[10:50] ---**
After all the training he went through,
**[10:53] ---**
there is no way a human gamer
can beat Tamotsu.
**[10:56] ---**
Yeah...
**[10:57] ---**
"Matsuko" "P" "Mashiro"
**[10:57] ---**
Besides, I have to get to the
final match to fight her...
**[11:02] ---**
First round, representing the United States
is Frog oZma, facing the new blood, Tamo-II!
**[11:11] ---**
Tamotsu! Good luck!
**[11:13] ---**
Stay sharp! Don't let your guard down!
**[11:23] ---**
First match, game one! Ready... Go!
**[11:30] ---**
Now the first round begins!
**[11:35] ---**
I have no time to waste on this loser!
**[11:37] ---**
My only target is Matsuko!
**[11:44] ---**
And it's over!
**[11:45] ---**
He did it! Frog oZma wins!
**[11:50] ---**
Huh...?
**[11:52] ---**
Who would have expected
a perfect straight victory?
**[11:56] ---**
Going on to the next match...
**[12:00] ---**
"Defeat"
**[12:03] ---**
In order to rescue
his abducted sister Niwaka,
**[12:06] ---**
Tamotsu pulls an all-nighter to train up for
the Way Way Cup fighting game tournament.
**[12:11] ---**
Though he was defeated in the first round,
**[12:14] ---**
he went undefeated in
the consolation match and loser's round
**[12:17] ---**
to get to the final match...
**[12:22] ---**
Incredible! Tamotsu defeats Inferno,
the one everyone expected to be the finalist,
**[12:26] ---**
to climb to the top of the tournament!
**[12:30] ---**
Now Tamotsu has earned the right
to challenge Matsuko, the gaming genius!
**[12:35] ---**
How will the fight between
these two play out?
**[12:39] ---**
I will defeat you and get my sister back!
**[12:43] ---**
Sister? I don't know what
you're talking about.
**[12:46] ---**
But anyway, I've been waiting for you.
**[12:48] ---**
The moment I saw you, I could feel
there was something special about you.
**[12:52] ---**
Something that would finally
let me play a little seriously!
**[12:57] ---**
And it's time for the showdown!
**[13:00] ---**
Final match! Ready... Go!
**[13:04] ---**
Victory to the quickest!
**[13:10] ---**
Tamotsu is unstoppable!
**[13:13] ---**
There is a Spanish saying
that the best defense is offense...
**[13:15] ---**
Is this it? Well, I do have
the advantage... I have to press on!
**[13:23] ---**
He maintains his pressure,
connects to an air combo...
**[13:28] ---**
Critical art! He nails it!
**[13:31] ---**
Yes!
**[13:32] ---**
Tamotsu lands the first blow!
**[13:36] ---**
There is a Chinese proverb:
"The early bird gets the worm..."
**[13:39] ---**
Moi! Tamotsu is victorious!
**[13:42] ---**
Yes!
**[13:43] ---**
No, that's not it.
That's how Matsuko does things.
**[13:46] ---**
Who are you?
**[13:47] ---**
Yeah... Matsuko always spends
the first round on studying the opponent.
**[13:51] ---**
Seriously, who are you guys?!
**[13:53] ---**
If you look at Matsuko's records,
**[13:54] ---**
she loses many of the first
rounds in best-of-three matches.
**[13:57] ---**
She starts by letting
the opponent do as they like,
**[13:59] ---**
to analyze their fighting style!
**[14:01] ---**
Then, she installs
the enemy's data into her brain
**[14:04] ---**
to churn out the formula to victory...
**[14:06] ---**
She evolves into a perfect game-brain!
**[14:10] ---**
What?!
**[14:11] ---**
You threw the first round?
**[14:14] ---**
I am a professional gamer...
**[14:16] ---**
Everything I do is a step
towards victory, I throw nothing.
**[14:19] ---**
Strong words! Matsuko shows
unparalleled dignity!
**[14:24] ---**
Well, I think the same way every day.
**[14:27] ---**
But this isn't all you've got, is it?
**[14:31] ---**
I can tell...
**[14:34] ---**
Round 2... Fight!
**[14:43] ---**
Matsuko reveals her true skills!
**[14:45] ---**
Can Tamotsu do anything?!
**[14:50] ---**
I have to at least block!
**[14:54] ---**
And she wins!
**[14:57] ---**
Matsuko reveals her true skills! She defeats
Tamotsu without using special moves!
**[15:01] ---**
Is this proof that the difference
in skill is impossible to overturn?!
**[15:04] ---**
The bigger the gap,
the greater the chance of an upset.
**[15:09] ---**
She's strong... Strongest in the world...
**[15:11] ---**
They don't call her strongest
in the millennium for nothing...
**[15:14] ---**
No, you're strong, too.
**[15:17] ---**
You can do much better.
**[15:20] ---**
You haven't been pushed hard enough.
**[15:25] ---**
I'll show you!
**[15:29] ---**
Is it coming? Is it coming?!
**[15:32] ---**
There it is!
**[15:35] ---**
Wha--?!
**[15:36] ---**
And Matsuko disrobes! This is Matsuko time!
**[15:41] ---**
Keep your eyes peeled, everyone!
**[15:45] ---**
What?! Why her clothes?!
**[15:47] ---**
That... is the ancient
Chinese martial art, Fists of Shame!
**[15:51] ---**
Huh?!
**[15:52] ---**
Masters of that art can disrobe
to press themselves into a corner,
**[15:58] ---**
awakening all of their potentials.
**[16:00] ---**
In the history of gaming,
**[16:02] ---**
the legendary mahjong master Jan Ki
of the 16 kingdoms period...
**[16:06] ---**
In Japan, the Edo-era shogi master
Mataro the Viper used this.
**[16:11] ---**
It is rumored that the system is built
into the computer go program
**[16:16] ---**
that defeated the human
champion Yi Daeheol.
**[16:19] ---**
It is supposed to take 30 years
of training to master that art.
**[16:23] ---**
Matsuko truly must be a genius.
**[16:25] ---**
But... A Bugged One, disrobing?
**[16:29] ---**
The pressure is incredible...!
Does she have no shame?!
**[16:32] ---**
I have no shame.
**[16:35] ---**
What I do have...
**[16:38] ---**
...is the will to keep winning!
**[16:40] ---**
She pushes harder!
**[16:42] ---**
Matsuko! Matsuko!
**[16:44] ---**
Now, show me yours!
**[16:47] ---**
Dammit!
**[16:48] ---**
Round 3... Fight!
**[16:53] ---**
I can't react fast enough!
**[16:55] ---**
Unstoppable! Matsuko's onslaught
is unstoppable!
**[16:59] ---**
Does Tamotsu even have a chance?!
**[17:03] ---**
That was too close! Tamotsu
escapes skillfully!
**[17:06] ---**
That could have ended the match
right there. If I were him...
**[17:09] ---**
Dammit... Is there nothing I can do?
**[17:16] ---**
This is it!
**[17:17] ---**
I'm undressing, too!
**[17:21] ---**
Huh?! No! Tamotsu, you'll die
if you take off your clothes!
**[17:24] ---**
No matter! I gave my life to
gaming... Now I set it ablaze!
**[17:29] ---**
What? Is he crazy? Tamotsu,
you going naked won't please anyone!
**[17:36] ---**
No, there is a niche but
very solid fan base for that!
**[17:42] ---**
Incredible! Tamotsu catches up to Matsuko!
**[17:47] ---**
Good... This is what I've been waiting for!
**[17:49] ---**
Oh, yes! Thank you!
**[17:52] ---**
Wow! Matsuko! Matsuko!
**[17:55] ---**
The battle is intense!
**[18:00] ---**
This is quite an intense battle!
**[18:04] ---**
Their concentration is
unbelievable, and totally equal!
**[18:07] ---**
But they haven't peaked yet!
**[18:11] ---**
Uh-oh... One more hit will end this!
**[18:15] ---**
That was fun... I'm glad I was able
to face someone as strong as you...
**[18:21] ---**
But this ends here, now!
**[18:24] ---**
End? No!
**[18:26] ---**
This is the beginning of my legend!
**[18:29] ---**
What?!
**[18:30] ---**
Tamotsu stands on his hands!
Has he gone mad?!
**[18:38] ---**
Wha--?
**[18:43] ---**
This is dangerous on so many levels!
**[18:45] ---**
As long as it's not visible, we're okay!
**[18:47] ---**
Moi! This is what that training was for!
**[18:51] ---**
So that's what it was for!
**[18:52] ---**
Huh? Um... Ugh!
**[19:19] ---**
It's... It's over...?
**[19:24] ---**
The winner of this astonishing
match is Tamotsu!
**[19:27] ---**
He defeated the champion Matsuko!
**[19:30] ---**
He did it!
**[19:31] ---**
Just as I calculated.
**[19:34] ---**
Oh! Tamotsu!
**[19:35] ---**
I did it!
**[19:39] ---**
I'm dying! I'm dying!
**[19:41] ---**
I'm going to die!
**[19:50] ---**
Your passion defeated mine at the very end.
I have been thoroughly defeated.
**[19:54] ---**
No... It was close. I was on the verge, too.
**[19:59] ---**
So now that I've won, give me
my sister back, as promised.
**[20:04] ---**
Like I said before,
what are you talking about?
**[20:06] ---**
No, stop playing dumb.
**[20:10] ---**
Huh? N... No...
**[20:13] ---**
No!
**[20:15] ---**
Don't stare at my standing hair!
**[20:17] ---**
What's going on?
**[20:18] ---**
I knew it. She's not a Bugged One.
**[20:21] ---**
Huh...?
**[20:22] ---**
She doesn't seem to take any damage
from disrobing, and her hair color is normal.
**[20:26] ---**
Then who is behind all of this?!
**[20:32] ---**
First, thank you for the great game!
**[20:35] ---**
Could it be?!
**[20:36] ---**
I thought I could take you all out and remove
the obstacle to our control of Akiba...
**[20:41] ---**
But I suppose nothing is ever that easy.
**[20:44] ---**
It was you!
**[20:46] ---**
Oh, it's him again, with his little show.
**[20:48] ---**
It's always so dull.
**[20:50] ---**
However! Now that your stamina is spent--
**[20:53] ---**
Shut up! Die!
**[20:56] ---**
Please don't hate SF5 even if you hate me!
**[21:06] ---**
And that's it for the Akiba
Way Way Cup The Evolution Fight!
**[21:11] ---**
"The End"
**[21:13] ---**
The skit at the end was pretty funny today.
**[21:15] ---**
Yeah, that was pretty intense.
**[21:17] ---**
Where's Niwaka?!
**[21:18] ---**
"The Hostage Room"
**[21:19] ---**
Niwaka!
**[21:20] ---**
Hey, Big Bro!
**[21:22] ---**
I can't beat this game...
**[21:27] ---**
She's taking it easy.
**[21:29] ---**
After all we've been through...
**[21:31] ---**
I'm trying really hard
to beat this game, too!
**[21:34] ---**
Okay, your big bro will help you.
**[21:36] ---**
Really?! But why are you totally naked below?
**[21:41] ---**
Oh. Oops, I totally forgot.
**[21:44] ---**
Oh, you're so sloppy.
**[21:46] ---**
Hey! You died, too!
**[21:49] ---**
Yeah, I'm not good at action games.
**[21:52] ---**
Okay, what should we play next?!
**[23:25] ---**
Let's go to a world of bright lights,
turning on the switch in your heart!
**[23:28] ---**
What are you saying all of a sudden?
**[23:29] ---**
Well, I was raising my spirits for building
my new PC, and the words just came out.
**[23:32] ---**
What does that even mean?
I thought the phrase was kind of cool...

**[00:09] ---**
BSOD again!
**[00:12] ---**
Tenth time after that
WinMadOS auto-update...
**[00:18] ---**
Maybe it's time for a new computer...
**[01:52] ---**
"Business special: The Rise of Earth"
**[01:54] ---**
With the trend favoring smartphones,
PCs have become less popular among youths.
**[01:58] ---**
In these uncertain times, a special deal for
residents of Akihabara only is announced.
**[02:03] ---**
MofMap promises shop-built PCs
at low prices but with high specs.
**[02:08] ---**
What is the strategy behind this?
**[02:10] ---**
"CEO of MofMap
Lawrie Barbara"
**[02:13] ---**
Akiba is a great source of information!
**[02:16] ---**
Here, MofMap will provide store-built PCs
at a loss in order to establish a brand...
**[02:19] ---**
"Surprising price - 29,800 Yen!"
**[02:22] ---**
...that will soon be recognized all over Japan!
**[02:24] ---**
That's the plan!
**[02:27] ---**
If you live in Akiba and have interest in PCs,
**[02:31] ---**
please stop by at MofMap!
**[02:35] ---**
"TRIP 6 – Your Memory is Full"
**[02:36] ---**
And so I've stopped by...
**[02:39] ---**
"Sorry if sold out"
"Comes with Nice Office"
**[02:39] ---**
The prices for these specs
certainly is attractive, but...
**[02:40] ---**
"Shown on Television Sale!"
"Now only!"
"Super cheap!"
**[02:44] ---**
...getting the same as
everyone else is... kind of...
**[02:47] ---**
Why don't you try building your own, then?
**[02:50] ---**
Kage-*san*!
**[02:52] ---**
If you build your own PC,
it will be a one-of-a-kind.
**[02:56] ---**
You'll grow attached to it, too.
**[02:59] ---**
Self-built!
**[03:01] ---**
But I've never done that before...
**[03:04] ---**
Really? You're so good with analog machines.
**[03:07] ---**
Anyway, in that case, let me help you.
**[03:15] ---**
This should do for CPU and motherboard.
**[03:19] ---**
Next is...
**[03:24] ---**
That's...
**[03:40] ---**
Tamotsu, let's go!
**[03:42] ---**
Huh?
**[03:45] ---**
So this is it...
**[03:47] ---**
This size and specification for this price...
**[03:49] ---**
This is truly a great find.
**[03:51] ---**
Um, what is this...?
**[03:53] ---**
The guy you just saw,
he's called Jackal the Parts Hunter.
**[03:57] ---**
Parts Hunter?
**[03:59] ---**
He goes from shop to shop
looking for great parts.
**[04:02] ---**
When he finds one,
he hides it under a pile of other parts.
**[04:04] ---**
Then, after going through every store,
he buys it at the cheapest store.
**[04:09] ---**
So by following him around,
we get great parts at the best price.
**[04:15] ---**
But, is that okay? I feel like
I'm snatching from him.
**[04:20] ---**
Self-built PCs are "Build, or be built!"
**[04:22] ---**
The law of the jungle applies here.
**[04:28] ---**
Many, many meat! Delicious!
**[04:30] ---**
Miss, here is your mackerel sandwich,
with extra cheese.
**[04:37] ---**
Excuse me, one extra hot please.
**[04:39] ---**
Gotcha.
**[04:41] ---**
Thank you, Kage-*san*. I was able
to keep it under budget, too.
**[04:45] ---**
Now we just assemble.
**[04:47] ---**
Yes!
**[04:55] ---**
I did it! My very own PC!
**[04:58] ---**
And... Boot!
**[05:09] ---**
Huh?!
**[05:10] ---**
Oh... I forgot to buy an operating system...
**[05:15] ---**
But I don't want to use WinMadOS anymore...
**[05:18] ---**
Whoa!
**[05:19] ---**
In that case, why don't you try
the OS that I developed?
**[05:23] ---**
Where did you just come out of?
**[05:25] ---**
"LAtux"
**[05:27] ---**
This is the AI-driven autonomous OS, LAtux!
**[05:32] ---**
AI-driven? How does that work?
**[05:36] ---**
Curious? Then install to find out!
**[05:44] ---**
"LAtux"
"Installing"
"Relax please♥"
**[05:53] ---**
Oh?
**[05:55] ---**
Nice to meet you, administrator.
**[05:58] ---**
It speaks!
**[05:59] ---**
Impressed? That's LAtux's voice navigation.
**[06:03] ---**
You can issue commands with voice, too.
**[06:05] ---**
Seriously?
**[06:05] ---**
Seriously!
**[06:07] ---**
The world doesn't stand a chance
against Latu science!
**[06:14] ---**
Okay, well...
**[06:18] ---**
Um...
**[06:20] ---**
Now that I have to talk to it,
it kind of feels uncomfortable.
**[06:23] ---**
Why don't you start by giving it a name?
**[06:25] ---**
That should make it easier to talk to.
**[06:29] ---**
Right! Name!
**[06:32] ---**
Hmm... Let's see...
**[06:35] ---**
My own self-built PC... That's a girl...
**[06:40] ---**
Pyuko!
**[06:43] ---**
Name is Pyuko... I learned.
**[06:46] ---**
Pyuko's name is Pyuko.
**[06:48] ---**
Straight out of the 80s...
**[06:49] ---**
That's right! And my name is Tamotsu!
**[06:54] ---**
Pyuko learned.
**[06:56] ---**
Administrator's name is Tamotsu.
**[06:58] ---**
That's right, Tamotsu. Pyuko!
**[07:01] ---**
Yes, Tamotsu.
**[07:03] ---**
Whoa! That's good!
**[07:06] ---**
Yes, Tamotsu.
**[07:16] ---**
Good, Pyuko!
**[07:17] ---**
Pyuko, what is your CPU usage state now?
**[07:20] ---**
CPU usage state is 7%.
**[07:24] ---**
Pyuko, how much space
do I have on my hard disk?
**[07:26] ---**
Hard disk space is 721GB.
**[07:31] ---**
Pyuko, what's the weather today?
**[07:33] ---**
Sunny with a hint of clouds.
**[07:35] ---**
Well... Um, Pyuko...
**[07:37] ---**
Big Bro is really enjoying Pyuko.
**[07:41] ---**
He asks her things he doesn't even need to,
**[07:44] ---**
as if he can't stop talking to her.
**[07:47] ---**
How stupid, wasting time with a machine.
**[07:49] ---**
Oh?
**[07:51] ---**
Ma, are you jealous-ing?
**[07:53] ---**
D... Don't be stupid!
**[07:57] ---**
I, uh, I don't...
**[07:59] ---**
I mean, Akiba is in danger,
he doesn't have time to waste on...
**[08:08] ---**
T-Tamotsu! Time to go on patrol!
**[08:12] ---**
Seriously?
**[08:13] ---**
Why are you sounding so reluctant?
**[08:15] ---**
I want to spend more time with Pyuko...
**[08:20] ---**
Fine, fine. I'll go, stop looking so scary.
**[08:25] ---**
Pyuko, I'm gonna go out for
a bit. Stay put, okay?
**[08:29] ---**
Tamotsu going out. Pyuko understands.
**[08:33] ---**
I wish I could take you with me...
**[08:38] ---**
Tamotsu! Hurry!
**[08:40] ---**
Yeah, yeah. I'm coming.
**[09:01] ---**
Huh?
**[09:03] ---**
Hey! Pay attention!
**[09:06] ---**
Oh, sorry!
**[09:18] ---**
Pyuko!
**[09:19] ---**
I'm... home?
**[09:27] ---**
Welcome home, Tamotsu.
**[09:31] ---**
What in the...
**[09:33] ---**
Behold, the new and improved
Pyuko Second Upgrade!
**[09:39] ---**
Pyuko, now able to walk.
Now can follow Tamotsu outside.
**[09:43] ---**
Wow!
**[09:45] ---**
Congrats, Big Bro!
**[09:47] ---**
Not just walking!
**[09:49] ---**
By replacing her arm attachments,
she can perform all sorts of acts!
**[09:53] ---**
Magic hands.
**[09:55] ---**
Additionally, what is the most
important thing for otaku?
**[09:58] ---**
Data storage, of course. Her behavior routine
prioritizes that over everything.
**[10:02] ---**
She also has a great battery
that allows long periods of activity.
**[10:06] ---**
I don't get it, but great job, Pyuko!
**[10:09] ---**
*Moi*!
**[10:11] ---**
A hug right away! How aggressive!
**[10:13] ---**
This is a hug... Pyuko learned.
**[10:23] ---**
Tamotsu! Time to go on patrol!
**[10:27] ---**
Huh? Where's Tamotsu?
**[10:28] ---**
Tamotsu took Pyuko with him to go on patrol.
**[10:31] ---**
What?!
**[10:34] ---**
Pyuko, this is Manseibashi Bridge.
**[10:37] ---**
Pyuko learned. This is Manseibashi Bridge.
**[10:44] ---**
This used to be a vehicle museum.
**[10:47] ---**
I remember those days...
**[10:50] ---**
This is a famous place!
It's extremely important to people like me.
**[10:54] ---**
It would not be an exaggeration to say that
many phantoms of my youth are packed here.
**[10:59] ---**
Pyuko learned. This place is
a phantom of Tamotsu's youth.
**[11:11] ---**
This place is also one of my--
**[11:16] ---**
T-This place, uh,
Pyuko is too young for this.
**[11:19] ---**
Pyuko learned.
Pyuko is too young for this place.
**[11:36] ---**
Blended coffee please.
**[11:37] ---**
Understood, Master.
**[11:41] ---**
Also, can I use a power outlet?
**[11:44] ---**
Yes, meow.
**[11:54] ---**
Pyuko detects many eyes on Pyuko.
**[11:58] ---**
Hmm, really?
**[12:01] ---**
I guess it's no surprise...
**[12:02] ---**
You're my pretty personal computer!
**[12:06] ---**
Pyuko learned.
**[12:08] ---**
Pyuko is...
**[12:10] ---**
...p-pretty!
**[12:13] ---**
W-What's wrong? Overheating?
**[12:18] ---**
Why won't we go patrolling with Tamotsu?
**[12:21] ---**
If we split up, it's more efficient, of course.
**[12:26] ---**
Let's go. We'll cover that area.
**[12:29] ---**
Hey, wait up!
**[12:38] ---**
Akiba is precious to Tamotsu...
**[12:42] ---**
Pyuko learned.
**[12:50] ---**
Pyuko wins.
**[12:53] ---**
This is the 108th consecutive win.
**[12:57] ---**
The days of humans ruling the board are over...
**[13:04] ---**
Guys! Akiba is in serious trouble!
**[13:07] ---**
Robots are PCs, and *mo*-*mo*-*moi*!
**[13:11] ---**
Mo-mo-mo?
**[13:12] ---**
Pyuko, access "Clamas TV."
**[13:15] ---**
Pyuko understands.
**[13:17] ---**
"Clamas TV"
**[13:18] ---**
Guys, another incident in Akiba.
**[13:21] ---**
It seems like MofMap PCs are
turning into robots and causing trouble!
**[13:26] ---**
Check out this footage
exclusive to us, Clamas TV!
**[13:33] ---**
Look!
**[13:36] ---**
How is this happening?
**[13:38] ---**
Some say a virus triggered
a secret feature in the MofMap PC, but...
**[13:43] ---**
What is the truth?!
**[13:45] ---**
Could this be those guys...?
**[13:47] ---**
Tamotsu, Arisa, let's go.
**[13:50] ---**
Go? Go where?
**[13:52] ---**
Of course, to the person
who's selling these PCs!
**[13:58] ---**
"Special holiday!"
**[14:00] ---**
Did they run off already?
**[14:02] ---**
No. Let's check inside.
**[14:04] ---**
Arisa!
**[14:05] ---**
Gotcha!
**[14:09] ---**
Not even Arisa can get through...
**[14:11] ---**
Very tough.
**[14:12] ---**
Pyuko will do this.
**[14:19] ---**
Analyzing pattern...
**[14:23] ---**
Hacking complete.
**[14:25] ---**
Hacking or picking?
**[14:34] ---**
I guess they--
**[14:39] ---**
Who are you? Are you breaking in?
**[14:44] ---**
Then Laurie is scared!
**[14:47] ---**
Wow, give me a break.
**[14:48] ---**
Yeah, she's pushing it too hard.
**[14:50] ---**
I don't want to cling to false youth like that.
**[14:55] ---**
I never wanted to either!
**[15:00] ---**
I knew it! You're...
**[15:02] ---**
I tried to control Akiba using
robots disguised as cheap PCs,
**[15:06] ---**
but if you've found out, I guess it's over!
**[15:09] ---**
Time to silence you all!
**[15:13] ---**
Pyuko, you hide.
**[15:15] ---**
Understood. Pyuko will hide.
**[15:18] ---**
All of you, go get them!
**[15:34] ---**
Enough, brat!
**[15:42] ---**
How... The figure correction
protector was so hard to put on!
**[15:47] ---**
It can't end like this!
**[15:55] ---**
What are you doing?!
**[15:56] ---**
Behold the curse of the sheep!
**[16:01] ---**
"Curse you all"
**[16:04] ---**
Is this?!
**[16:05] ---**
Pyuko received transmission
from Professor Latu.
**[16:10] ---**
I don't know what's going on,
but the robots are gathering at Chuo Dori.
**[16:16] ---**
Maybe you should check it out?
**[16:18] ---**
Got it!
**[16:20] ---**
What's that?
**[16:22] ---**
Computers flying?
**[16:27] ---**
*Moi*-*moi*! They are all over the place!
**[16:30] ---**
What are they doing, gathering up like that?
**[16:32] ---**
Fusion!
**[16:35] ---**
What?! Fusion?!
**[16:44] ---**
No difference!
**[16:47] ---**
Hey, that's her!
**[16:49] ---**
Her wrinkles are more obvious
on the large screen.
**[16:52] ---**
By the time you see this,
I should already be dead.
**[16:57] ---**
Now that my dream of ruling Akiba is in ruins,
**[17:00] ---**
I will destroy the city itself!
**[17:03] ---**
What?!
**[17:13] ---**
*Moi*! We must fight!
**[17:22] ---**
*M*-*Moi*... No!
**[17:33] ---**
It-It's too strong...
**[17:36] ---**
*Moi*!
**[17:38] ---**
Arisa!
**[17:59] ---**
Mayo!
**[18:01] ---**
Oh... I'm in trouble, too?!
**[18:06] ---**
Can it be?!
**[18:07] ---**
Die!
**[18:10] ---**
Justice prevails!
**[18:14] ---**
I did it!
**[18:15] ---**
Abnormal shutdown detected.
**[18:17] ---**
Huh?!
**[18:19] ---**

"Begin countdown!"
**[18:33] ---**
100, 99, 98, 97, 96...

Wha-Wha-What do we do?! What do we do?
**[18:41] ---**
What do we do?!
**[18:43] ---**
W-W-W-W-What do we do?!
**[18:44] ---**
If that thing goes off,
all of Akiba will vaporize!
**[18:48] ---**
Dammit! Akiba...
**[18:51] ---**
Our Akiba is going to get destroyed!
**[18:59] ---**
Hey, Pyuko!
**[19:01] ---**
Maximum charge.
**[19:03] ---**
Pyuko, what are you doing?!
**[19:05] ---**
Pyuko maximum output!
**[19:14] ---**
No! Stop! Come back!
**[19:24] ---**
This is Akiba... Pyuko learned.
**[19:39] ---**
Pyuko!
**[19:55] ---**
There you are.
**[19:59] ---**
They're all worried about you.
Why don't you come back?
**[20:03] ---**
Professor... I thought Pyuko prioritized
long-term data storage above all else.
**[20:09] ---**
Yes.
**[20:11] ---**
Then why did she do that?!
**[20:14] ---**
Exactly because of that.
**[20:16] ---**
Huh?
**[20:17] ---**
Akiba has taken on many forms in its history.
**[20:23] ---**
A black market in the burned-out city...
**[20:25] ---**
A city of electronics...
**[20:26] ---**
A city for otaku.
**[20:29] ---**
The memories and emotions of
countless people have accumulated here,
**[20:32] ---**
turning the city into something like a database.
**[20:35] ---**
Of course, that includes you, Tamotsu,
a person who loves Akiba very much.
**[20:42] ---**
Maybe Pyuko tried to protect that...
**[20:45] ---**
The data that is most important to you.
**[20:49] ---**
Tamotsu, as long as you remember Pyuko,
she will live inside your memory.
**[20:56] ---**
Take good care of that data.
**[21:01] ---**
Pyuko...
**[23:06] ---**
Tamotsu, let's go on patrol.
**[23:08] ---**
"Must-read for all pros"
"Tsumego Wizard"
"-Approaching the Divine Move-"
**[23:08] ---**
Hmm...
**[23:11] ---**
Okay.
**[23:24] ---**
Do we work to get food,
or get food to work?
**[23:26] ---**
*Moi*! Is this philosophy time, Tamotsu?
**[23:27] ---**
I don't think labor is defat,
but to be honest,
**[23:29] ---**
I feel like I lose a little
something every time!
**[23:30] ---**
You must have had a hard time
finding good work...

**[00:02] ---**
Hmm... It's a bit off...
**[00:05] ---**
The pose needs to be a bit more energetic...
**[00:08] ---**
Maybe I need to skew the angle a little.
**[00:13] ---**
Hmm... Just a bit more...
**[00:16] ---**
Really angle it further... Kanada perspective...
**[00:19] ---**
Or rather, Obari style...
**[00:23] ---**
Oops!
**[00:25] ---**
Oh man...
**[00:28] ---**
Big Bro...
**[00:31] ---**
That figurine, it's mine...
**[00:33] ---**
Oh, this is, um...
**[02:09] ---**
"TRIP 7 - Only a Liar Says Something Is Too Hard"
**[02:10] ---**
This was so important to me...
**[02:13] ---**
It was a prize for the final purchaser.
**[02:15] ---**
Hey, sorry.
**[02:16] ---**
There's no way to get it anymore!
**[02:18] ---**
That's impossible. You just
have to search the auctions.
**[02:24] ---**
It's not about whether or not it's easy to get.
**[02:27] ---**
You'd get mad, too, if someone
broke something you cared about!
**[02:31] ---**
Besides, this was your...
**[02:34] ---**
Ooh, that's a good shot.
**[02:37] ---**
Big Bro! Are you listening?!
**[02:39] ---**
You see, Niwaka.
**[02:40] ---**
This shot from this angle
is called the Kanada Perspective.
**[02:43] ---**
It's named after a legendary
person in the anime industry...
**[02:46] ---**
Whatever!
**[02:49] ---**
Does she have to get so mad?
**[02:51] ---**
I think that was reason enough...
**[02:54] ---**
It's terrible that you didn't even apologize.
**[02:58] ---**
She seemed really mad.
**[03:01] ---**
That figurine... It seemed
like she really cared about it.
**[03:05] ---**
I feel bad, too! That's why, see?
**[03:09] ---**
I was looking for the same one on the auction!
**[03:11] ---**
I'm trying to give her the same item...
**[03:14] ---**
Will she forgive you?
**[03:17] ---**
Paying for damages is a good start.
**[03:19] ---**
Let's see...
**[03:21] ---**
I'm running out of part-time work money,
so I should try to keep the cost low...
**[03:25] ---**
And push.
**[03:33] ---**
Oh! Fujiyama! Ninja! Hikikomori!
**[03:38] ---**
What?! What is this bid?!
**[03:41] ---**
Oh! Crazy price!
**[03:43] ---**
Sorry, Niwaka...
**[03:44] ---**
Your brother lost, without even fighting.
**[03:47] ---**
What are you going to do?
**[03:49] ---**
Other auctions are similar, too...
**[03:53] ---**
Oh... This is suddenly starting to look bad.
**[03:57] ---**
I should compensate for damages properly...

Hello there!
**[04:06] ---**
Any good short-term jobs?
**[04:07] ---**
Part-time again? You must really like work.
**[04:11] ---**
One second, please.
**[04:13] ---**
Short-term work, short-term...
**[04:16] ---**
How's this one?
**[04:18] ---**
Good hourly rate, and raises
depending on performance.

**[04:35] ---**
So, why did you apply?
**[04:37] ---**
Well, um...
**[04:39] ---**
I've always been interested in the operation
of bars that include maids and butlers...
**[04:46] ---**
I see. Do you live close?
**[04:49] ---**
Yes, yes. Very close.
**[04:51] ---**
You noticed our pay is high, right?
**[04:55] ---**
Yes, it's very lucrative.
**[04:57] ---**
That's right. And that's more
important than maids and stuff.
**[05:02] ---**
Oh, um...
**[05:04] ---**
So, wanting to get paid, that's not good, is it?
**[05:07] ---**
Don't worry! We basically hire anyone
unless they are completely unfit.
**[05:07] ---**
"Those who come are welcomed,

**[05:13] ---**
O-Oh, really?
**[05:14] ---**
There were many before you
who joined for the money.
**[05:18] ---**
I thought so!
**[05:20] ---**
But then...
**[05:21] ---**
...as they work here, they learn that
some things are more valuable than money.
**[05:27] ---**
I wish that you, too, will learn about
what is truly important by working here.
**[05:33] ---**
Pleased to have you on board, Tamotsu.
**[05:36] ---**
T-Thank you, sir...

Wow, so huge...

And this is...
**[05:50] ---**
...kind of embarrassing.
**[05:53] ---**
Don't worry.
**[05:55] ---**
You look good, Tamotsu!
**[05:57] ---**
Um...
**[05:58] ---**
I'm Jiro Nishi, the lead butler here.
**[06:00] ---**
"Lead Butler"

And the hearts on the name tag...

**[06:09] ---**
The hearts are like training marks.

I see, so that's what that means...
**[06:31] ---**
Tamotsu, I hope you can catch up to us soon!
**[06:36] ---**
Y-Yes...
**[06:39] ---**
Okay, line up, everyone!
**[06:48] ---**
Let's all say the five phrases
of customer service together!
**[06:54] ---**
Welcome home! Master!
**[06:57] ---**
Welcome home! Master!
**[06:59] ---**
My apologies, Master!
**[07:02] ---**
My apologies, Master!
**[07:05] ---**
One moment please, Master!
**[07:08] ---**
One moment please, Master!
**[07:11] ---**
Thank you for waiting, Master!
**[07:13] ---**
Thank you for waiting, Master!
**[07:16] ---**
Have a safe trip, Master!
**[07:19] ---**
Have a safe trip, Master!
**[07:23] ---**
Tamotsu!
**[07:25] ---**
Let your voice out, or your master
won't be able to hear you!
**[07:28] ---**
I'm sorry... This is my first time,
so I got nervous.
**[07:31] ---**
Don't worry. He can get used to it gradually.
**[07:38] ---**
Okay, let's go.
**[07:43] ---**
Our goal of the day!
**[07:45] ---**
Yes, please!
**[07:47] ---**
To me, please!
**[07:48] ---**
No, I will!
**[07:49] ---**
No, for me!
**[07:52] ---**
Please let me do it!
**[07:54] ---**
Okay, I will task you.
**[07:58] ---**
--Thank you, sir!
**[07:59] ---**
--What is going on here...?
--Thank you, sir!
**[08:04] ---**
You were out pretty late.
**[08:07] ---**
Did you find a job?
**[08:08] ---**
Yeah, I started working at an Izakaya.
[Japanese-style bar]
**[08:11] ---**
I might have made a bad choice though.
**[08:15] ---**
Try not to let it affect our patrols.
**[08:17] ---**
I can't for a while.
Let me concentrate on work.
**[08:20] ---**
You always have a reason to get out of it!
**[08:23] ---**
I can't help it! I have to get up early.
Let me go to sleep.
**[08:28] ---**
What kind of attitude is that?
**[08:30] ---**
Fine, whatever... But, hey--
**[08:33] ---**
You'd better make it up to Niwaka!
**[08:47] ---**
"To Niwaka. Take good care of this,
it's a present. Tamotsu"
**[08:48] ---**
Big Bro, you idiot.
**[08:53] ---**
Welcome, Master!
**[08:56] ---**
One moment please, Master!
**[09:02] ---**
T-Thank you for waiting, Master.
**[09:05] ---**
Thanks, man.
**[09:07] ---**
Oh, you're welcome...
**[09:10] ---**
Plates, please.
**[09:11] ---**
Gotcha.
**[09:14] ---**
I saw that.
**[09:16] ---**
Saw what?!
**[09:18] ---**
Great job, getting your
first thank you from a master.
**[09:22] ---**
Isn't it normal? You get it all the time.
**[09:26] ---**
It took me a while before anyone thanked me.
**[09:30] ---**
Tamotsu, you might be well-suited for this job.
**[09:33] ---**
Oh, you think so?
**[09:36] ---**
Need some help back here!
**[09:39] ---**
On my way!
**[09:41] ---**
Tamotsu, this young lady
is having her birthday today.
**[09:46] ---**
Oh, I am truly happy for you.
**[09:49] ---**
I need you to take a photo of us.
**[09:52] ---**
Yes.
**[09:53] ---**
Oh, wait one moment, please.
**[09:58] ---**
Say "cheese."
**[10:01] ---**
Wow, I haven't seen one of those in a while.
**[10:04] ---**
Yes, I thought since it's a special occasion,
I should do something special.
**[10:09] ---**
Impressive, Tamotsu. From this moment,
you are this bar's special photographer!
**[10:14] ---**
Really? A photographer?
**[10:18] ---**
Wow, great!
**[10:22] ---**
Thank you, Mr. Photographer!
**[10:26] ---**
Using special talents to impress a master...
**[10:30] ---**
You are a great new butler!
**[10:33] ---**
Oh, no... You're exaggerating.
**[10:37] ---**
Let's both work hard together.
**[10:39] ---**
Um... Yes sir!
**[10:42] ---**
Travel safely, Master!
**[10:49] ---**
Tamotsu.
**[10:51] ---**
Manager!
**[10:53] ---**
You are working hard.
**[10:55] ---**
Oh, no...
**[10:57] ---**
I just realized that when the master
has a good time, I have a good time, too.
**[11:02] ---**
Great! You're already able to see things
from the master's point of view!
**[11:08] ---**
Manager.
**[11:12] ---**
You deserve this.
**[11:15] ---**
T-This, to me?!
**[11:17] ---**
Yes, you are more than ready!
**[11:20] ---**
Please continue to work hard.
**[11:23] ---**
Congratulations, Tamotsu!
**[11:25] ---**
Congratulations, Tamotsu!
**[11:26] ---**
Congratulations, Tamotsu!
**[11:27] ---**
--Huh? What's this?
--Congratulations, Tamotsu!
**[11:31] ---**
Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!
**[11:34] ---**
--Oh, thank you!
--Huzzah! Huzzah!
**[11:36] ---**
Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah
**[11:42] ---**
Huzzah!
**[11:50] ---**
So late in the night...
**[12:01] ---**
I wonder how I'll do this week...
**[12:02] ---**
You tried hard, so you should be fine.
**[12:04] ---**
Of course! We tried so hard!
**[12:06] ---**
Hmm? What's going on?
**[12:08] ---**
Oh, is this your first?
It's the weekly Thanks Pay Day.
**[12:13] ---**
"Thanks Pay"?
**[12:14] ---**
We get "thanks pay" for the number of thanks
we collect from our masters.
**[12:19] ---**
Thanks...?
**[12:21] ---**
In "Thank you," of course!
**[12:24] ---**
--Good work.
**[12:25] ---**
--They did mention a unique payment scheme...
--Good work.
**[12:26] ---**
--They did mention a unique payment scheme...
--Thank you, sir!
**[12:28] ---**
--They did mention a unique payment scheme...
--Next, Mr. Nishi!
**[12:29] ---**
--I wonder how much I'll get?
--Next, Mr. Nishi!
**[12:30] ---**
--I wonder how much I'll get?
--Yes!
**[12:31] ---**
Yes! I got 40!
**[12:34] ---**
W-Wow, so much?!
**[12:37] ---**
Tamotsu!
**[12:38] ---**
Yes!
**[12:39] ---**
You did very well. It is uncommon
for a new person to do so well.
**[12:43] ---**
Please continue like this.
**[12:45] ---**
Thank you, sir!
**[12:47] ---**
How much is in here?
**[12:48] ---**
"Thank you"
**[12:50] ---**
What... is this?
**[12:53] ---**
Wow! I've never seen someone get so many
Thank Yous on the first Thanks Pay!
**[12:57] ---**
I knew you had great potential!
**[12:59] ---**
Um... What is this, "Thank You"?
**[13:02] ---**
The thanks that you collected
from the masters, of course.
**[13:06] ---**
To set a new record on this day...
We have to thank Tamotsu again!
**[13:11] ---**
Yes. Thank you, Tamotsu!
**[13:13] ---**
Thank you, Tamotsu!
**[13:14] ---**
Thank you, Tamotsu!
**[13:16] ---**
--Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!
**[13:17] ---**
--Um, y-you're welcome...?
--Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!
**[13:23] ---**
Welcome, Niwaka.
**[13:25] ---**
Where's Big Bro?
**[13:29] ---**
Are you here for that thing the other day...?
**[13:31] ---**
Yes... I thought I might
have been too harsh, too.
**[13:35] ---**
I want to make up with Big Bro.
**[13:39] ---**
How can that idiot leave such a
loving sister all alone like this?
**[13:46] ---**
Big Bro!
**[13:48] ---**
What are you reading?
**[13:50] ---**
The way to turn my life around in one swoop.
**[13:52] ---**
Swoop?
**[13:54] ---**
Good!
**[13:55] ---**
"Unearned income"
**[13:56] ---**
Big Bro! You're so good!
**[14:01] ---**
Big Bro...
**[14:08] ---**
"Takes good care of his little sister,
who is very dear to him"
**[14:13] ---**
Really... there's no reasoning with him!
**[14:16] ---**
Oh, um, y-yeah...
**[14:21] ---**
I-I'm so sorry!
**[14:26] ---**
What's wrong? You aren't your usual self.
**[14:30] ---**
I'm sorry...
**[14:31] ---**
You won't be able to collect
Thank Yous like this.
**[14:34] ---**
Are you trying hard, Tamotsu?
**[14:38] ---**
I am.
**[14:39] ---**
Lies. You're afraid, from just one mistake.
**[14:42] ---**
I'm sorry...
**[14:44] ---**
You can't just keep apologizing.
I know you're capable of much more.
**[14:50] ---**
When you got your first Thank You,
you had such a great expression.
**[14:55] ---**
But I'm not like everyone else;
I don't have a goal to drive me to work...
**[15:00] ---**
Nobody started with a clear goal like that.
**[15:03] ---**
I didn't have a goal either.
**[15:05] ---**
But, Tamotsu, you found yours here.
**[15:07] ---**
Huh?
**[15:09] ---**
To collect smiles and thanks
from your masters.
**[15:13] ---**
Don't worry. Work with us,
and let's gather the Thank Yous.
**[15:19] ---**
Yes!
**[15:22] ---**
Tamotsu, you are not alone! We are a family.
**[15:27] ---**
Don't give up, Tamotsu.
**[15:29] ---**
Stand up, Tamotsu!
**[15:32] ---**
Yes! Sorry. I will never give up,
and do my best!
**[15:38] ---**
Do your best, Tamotsu!
Do your best, Tamotsu!
**[15:42] ---**
Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!
**[15:45] ---**
Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!
**[15:53] ---**
The Butler and Maid Bar Gon-chan
is awaiting our masters' return.
**[15:58] ---**
Hey, soliciting in the streets is banned--
**[16:00] ---**
Miss Mashiro! Thank you
for introducing me to a great job!
**[16:03] ---**
Here you go!
**[16:05] ---**
See you!
**[16:06] ---**

Oh... Whatever.
**[16:12] ---**

**[16:14] ---**
--Yes! Yes! Yes!
**[16:15] ---**
--Manager! To me, please!
--Yes! Yes! Yes!
**[16:18] ---**
Please, to me!
**[16:22] ---**
One more glass, please.
**[16:23] ---**
Thank you for waiting, Master!
**[16:27] ---**
Fifty orders of sliced cabbage!
**[16:30] ---**
What?!
**[16:31] ---**
On it!
**[16:34] ---**
Tamotsu, your schedule for next week--
**[16:36] ---**
I want to work every day!
**[16:38] ---**
You're looking good these days.
**[16:40] ---**
Yes!
**[16:40] ---**
I truly feel that I came to Akiba
just to work here!
**[16:48] ---**
Where did Tamotsu go...?
**[16:51] ---**
It's been one week already...
**[16:53] ---**
Trouble, trouble! Big trouble!
**[16:56] ---**
What's wrong?
**[16:57] ---**
Tamotsu is in trouble!
**[17:00] ---**
Big Bro?!
**[17:05] ---**
Big Bro!
**[17:08] ---**
Welcome home, Master.
**[17:11] ---**
Big Bro?! Why do you look like that?!
**[17:14] ---**
Tamotsu! You have to quit now!
**[17:16] ---**
You're too close to the point of no return!
**[17:19] ---**
What are you talking about?
This is the best workplace ever.
**[17:22] ---**
To collect Thank Yous here,
that is my dream.
**[17:26] ---**
Dream...?
**[17:27] ---**
"Collect Thank Yous"? What are you saying?
**[17:30] ---**
This is bad...
**[17:33] ---**
Oh, Niwaka, you understand.
**[17:36] ---**
I knew it, my beloved sister.
**[17:38] ---**
Let's work together
to collect many Thank Yous!
**[17:40] ---**
Big Bro...
**[17:42] ---**
What is it?
**[17:46] ---**
Wake up!
**[17:49] ---**
Niwaka...?
**[17:51] ---**
Niwa--
**[17:52] ---**
I said wake up!
**[17:58] ---**
Big Bro!
**[18:00] ---**
Big Bro, snap out of it!
**[18:03] ---**
I already know.
**[18:05] ---**
Your dream isn't to work in this place.
**[18:09] ---**
You want to write your own novel
that becomes a best seller.
**[18:12] ---**
It gets turned into a live-action movie,
**[18:14] ---**
which is a total flop,
but then becomes a huge anime hit.
**[18:18] ---**
Then you live a happy-go-lucky
based on unearned income...
**[18:23] ---**
Have you given up on
that dream that you told me?!
**[18:28] ---**
Unearned income...?
**[18:29] ---**
Yes!
**[18:31] ---**
It was totally unlike me, to become
a sweaty cog in the machine that is society.
**[18:36] ---**
There he is, Tamotsu as usual!
**[18:38] ---**
Only terrible brothers
make their little sisters cry.
**[18:41] ---**
I know, right?
**[18:43] ---**
Sorry, sorry.
**[18:45] ---**
What's going on? What was that noise...?
**[18:50] ---**
Hmm, he was such a good candidate.
**[18:54] ---**
Seventeen days in a row...
The record ends there.
**[18:57] ---**
To make someone work
in such inhumane environments...
**[18:59] ---**
You must not be human!
**[19:03] ---**
Who would have thought
that I would be revealed here?
**[19:08] ---**
Bugged One!
**[19:09] ---**
My plan was to cut labor costs, provide
cheap food, and rule Akiba from its stomach!
**[19:15] ---**
But now that you have realized
my scheme, I cannot let you live.
**[19:18] ---**
Go, part-time warriors!
**[19:21] ---**
Welcome home!
**[19:23] ---**
I got this!
**[19:32] ---**
These are just brainwashed
part-time workers!
**[19:35] ---**
Disrobing them won't do anything!
**[19:37] ---**
Oh no! What can we do?!
**[19:44] ---**
Then attack directly!
**[19:49] ---**
There we go!
**[19:51] ---**
But they weren't Bugged Ones...
**[19:55] ---**
Hmm, that was easy.
**[19:57] ---**
Enough!
**[19:58] ---**
What?!
**[19:59] ---**
Don't move a muscle.
**[20:01] ---**
Big Bro...
**[20:02] ---**
Niwaka!
**[20:03] ---**
Niwaka!
**[20:05] ---**
Now you are powerless...
**[20:07] ---**
Now, if I do this, you are
completely out of options!
**[20:13] ---**
If you attack me, it will reveal her body!
**[20:17] ---**
You scoundrel!
**[20:18] ---**
Worst ever!
**[20:19] ---**
Go!
**[20:21] ---**
Dammit!
**[20:26] ---**
But if we attack him, Niwaka will--
**[20:32] ---**
Niwaka...
**[20:35] ---**
Help me, Big Bro!
**[20:37] ---**
Niwaka!
**[20:39] ---**
Tamotsu?!
**[20:40] ---**
What are you doing?!
**[20:42] ---**
Niwaka! Trust me!
**[20:45] ---**
You! Don't you care about your sister?!
**[20:48] ---**
Then fine! Skewer...
**[21:03] ---**
It's so great to be able to
go home while the sun is up!
**[21:06] ---**
Big Bro...
**[21:08] ---**
I'm sorry I said those things the other day.
**[21:11] ---**
No, I have to apologize, too.
It was important for you.
**[21:15] ---**
I want to try to make up for it with this...
**[21:19] ---**
This is...
**[21:20] ---**
I did go a little crazy during work,
but I never forgot about you.
***SIGN*** "To Niwaka. Sorry. This time I will take good care of this, too. Tamotsu"
**[21:28] ---**
Big Bro! This will be
my most important treasure!
**[21:33] ---**
Thank you, Big Bro!
**[21:37] ---**
What's wrong, Big Bro?
**[21:39] ---**
Wh-What did you just say...?
**[21:41] ---**
I said, "Thank you..."
**[21:43] ---**
P-Please, no more!
**[21:45] ---**
What?! You're supposed
to say "You're welcome!"
**[21:48] ---**
No more Thank Yous! Please!
**[23:23] ---**
What?! Unbelievable!
Arisa mastered "the art?!"
**[23:25] ---**
That is the ancient art "Atozuke," used to
explain important plot points nonchalantly!
**[23:28] ---**
Where did you learn that?

**[00:02] ---**
Akihabara, the city of dreams,
**[00:02] ---**
"Akihabara"
**[00:04] ---**
is now under threat from mysterious
monstrosities known as the Bugged Ones.
**[00:10] ---**
The people of the city formed
vigilante organizations to resist them,
**[00:14] ---**
but the invasion of the Bugged Ones
only grew worse each day.
**[00:18] ---**
This is a story of Tamotsu Denkigai,
**[00:21] ---**
a young man who gained
the power of the Bugged Ones,
**[00:23] ---**
and his merry friends, who stood up
to defend the peace in Akihabara.
**[00:27] ---**
"Electric Mayonnaise"
**[00:37] ---**
Jeez. I'm glad my parents
sent me food, but...
**[00:42] ---**
Big Bro! Mom sent rice!
**[00:44] ---**
Th-This is first-class
"Koshihikari" brand rice!
**[00:49] ---**
Who would have thought the hideout
wouldn't even have a rice cooker?
**[00:53] ---**
Ma doesn't cook at all, it seems.
**[00:56] ---**
Surprising, because she eats
five times more than others.
**[00:57] ---**
I know, right?
**[00:59] ---**
Shut up! I specialize in eating!
**[01:02] ---**
It's not like Tamotsu cooks either.
**[01:04] ---**
I don't cook doesn't mean I can't.
**[01:07] ---**
Don't make Big Bro cook!
**[01:09] ---**
Seems like the kind of thing Tamotsu
would spend way too much money on.
**[01:12] ---**
Yeah. One time, he said he would make curry.
**[01:17] ---**
He started by hand-picking and mixing spices,
**[01:20] ---**
stewed the soup for three
days and three nights,
**[01:22] ---**
and separated rice grain by grain.
**[01:25] ---**
It took him a week to finish cooking!
**[01:27] ---**
Hey! I spent time on the pickles, too!
**[01:29] ---**
Don't worry, I can make curry.
**[01:33] ---**
Arisa, you can make curry?
**[01:34] ---**
I'm great at it!
**[01:36] ---**
I see. Hmm?
**[01:38] ---**
Moi?
**[01:41] ---**
What's that? Some kind of special event?
**[01:44] ---**
What's that...?
**[01:46] ---**
Cardboard boxes.
**[01:52] ---**
Wow, how is that possible?
**[01:55] ---**
Isn't it heavy?
**[01:56] ---**
I'm afraid his neck might break.
**[01:58] ---**
That's...
**[02:00] ---**
M-Master?!
**[03:38] ---**
"TRIP 8 - Akihabara Grand Tournament"
"Duty Free Electronics"
**[03:38] ---**
You really knew him?
**[03:40] ---**
He didn't react at all.
**[03:40] ---**
"TRIP 8 - Akihabara Grand Tournament"
**[03:42] ---**
It was definitely my kung-fu master
from my training days in China!
**[03:47] ---**
Training in China?
**[03:49] ---**
So that's how you became so strong.
**[03:51] ---**
Moi, it was a very tough training.
**[03:55] ---**
But it was a great experience for me,
because until then, all I ever did was study.
**[03:59] ---**
Ten years ago, I graduated
the Ultimate University in the US.
**[04:04] ---**
I then went on a trip to discover
what I really want to do.
**[04:09] ---**
What? You're a college graduate?
**[04:11] ---**
So you're actually smart...
**[04:13] ---**
I thought I could find that
special something if I expanded my views.
**[04:17] ---**
So, I traveled all over
the world to see things.
**[04:25] ---**
I perfected curry in India,
learned about British humor in England,
**[04:29] ---**
and harnessed my wild side in Africa.
**[04:32] ---**
Wow, you've been everywhere!
**[04:34] ---**
Too greedy.
**[04:36] ---**
In other words, I've been to many countries
and have done many things.
**[04:41] ---**
One of them was my meeting my master.
**[04:44] ---**
"Master"
**[04:46] ---**
I only trained under him for about a year.
**[04:49] ---**
He trained not just my body,
but my heart as well.
**[04:53] ---**
When things were tough,
or when I encountered difficulties,
**[04:57] ---**
and also when I was having fun,
he was always with me.
**[05:00] ---**
After that, I mastered the martial arts,
**[05:03] ---**
then came to Japan to
master the way of the otaku.
**[05:07] ---**
So that's what you did
before coming to Japan.
**[05:10] ---**
I guess you're not just a weird foreigner.
**[05:12] ---**
Moi!
**[05:13] ---**
But why is this master guy here?
**[05:16] ---**
I don't know.
**[05:18] ---**
He did say he wanted to take his family
on a trip to Japan one day...
**[05:22] ---**
Anyway, let's buy that rice cooker!
**[05:25] ---**
"Rice Cooker Section"
**[05:27] ---**
"This item is sold out"
**[05:31] ---**
Why is it all gone?
**[05:33] ---**
It's all sold out...
**[05:34] ---**
Not even the display models?
**[05:36] ---**
I'm sorry, all rice cookers
are sold out today...
**[05:40] ---**
Huh? How can we cook rice, then?
**[05:43] ---**
Is it normal for just rice cookers
to fly off the shelves like this?
**[05:45] ---**
What a shopping spree...
**[05:47] ---**
Tamotsu, look.
**[05:51] ---**
Moving tower of cardboard again...
**[05:53] ---**
Can it be...?
**[05:56] ---**
That customer has purchased them all today.
**[06:01] ---**
Wait a sec!
**[06:03] ---**
Hey! At least listen!
**[06:07] ---**
Long time no see, Master!
**[06:11] ---**
Moi! You could have told me
you're coming here!
**[06:20] ---**
Oh, someone you know? Interesting.
**[06:24] ---**
Her attack power is off the charts...
**[06:29] ---**
Who are you? Do you know my master?
**[06:32] ---**
Me? I am in charge of managing this man...
**[06:36] ---**
Diva Risa McWhite.
**[06:39] ---**
Risa McWhite? The Risa McWhite?
**[06:43] ---**
Do you know her?
**[06:44] ---**
She's a mysterious promoter who suddenly
appeared in the world of martial arts!
**[06:48] ---**
She acquired other organizations rapidly,
**[06:50] ---**
and supports her fighters
not just from behind the scenes,
**[06:54] ---**
but also forcefully, sometimes going up
on the ring and becoming champion herself!
**[06:58] ---**
Promoter? What does she
want with your master?
**[07:02] ---**
It's simple... He's now
my tool to conquer Akiba!
**[07:08] ---**
What?!
**[07:09] ---**
Is that what the shopping spree is for?
**[07:12] ---**
That's right. We will buy cheap
duty-free goods as a foreigner,
**[07:18] ---**
then resell them to Japanese people
at full price to confuse the retail market.
**[07:20] ---**
We will conquer Akiba amidst the chaos!
**[07:24] ---**
How crazy...
**[07:26] ---**
What an unscrupulous reseller...
**[07:29] ---**
You must be a Bugged One!
**[07:32] ---**
Oh, good guess.
**[07:35] ---**
You've found me!
**[07:37] ---**
Wow! It's the usual sequence!
**[07:39] ---**
What about my master?!
**[07:45] ---**
It can't be...
**[07:46] ---**
He is my loyal servant,
purchasing rice cookers for me.
**[07:52] ---**
How dishonorable...
Or rather, who would bother?
**[07:55] ---**
I don't believe my master
would be controlled so easily.
**[07:57] ---**
But he is; it's not up to debate!
**[08:02] ---**
It's a bit hard to go sell to retailers
with flies like you buzzing around...
**[08:10] ---**
Master?!
**[08:12] ---**
Unless you enjoy pain, you should leave.
**[08:21] ---**
This pressure... He's strong!
**[08:24] ---**
Everyone, stand back!
**[08:26] ---**
Master! Snap out of it!
You weren't like this!
**[08:32] ---**
Arisa!
**[08:35] ---**
If you're going to get in our way...
**[08:37] ---**
Do it!
**[08:39] ---**
Here he comes!
**[08:53] ---**
Big Bro!
**[08:58] ---**
I will face you.
**[09:16] ---**
Beloved customers!
**[09:18] ---**
Grappling in our store is strictly forbidden.
**[09:21] ---**
You are bothering our
other customers as well...
**[09:26] ---**
If you continue...
**[09:28] ---**
...we must take appropriate action.
**[09:32] ---**
Quiet, please.
**[09:34] ---**
S-So sorry!
**[09:37] ---**
"Duty Free Electronics"
**[09:41] ---**
Wow, that shopkeeper was something.
**[09:43] ---**
We can't cause trouble to people
just because we want to protect Akiba.
**[09:47] ---**
But we also can't just
let our fight fizzle out.
**[09:51] ---**
I will provide the battleground.
**[09:54] ---**
What?!
**[09:55] ---**
A great venue, fitting
for two kung-fu elites!
**[09:59] ---**
Yes... The Great Akiba
Tournament is now open!
**[10:03] ---**
What?!
**[10:06] ---**
Great Tournament...
**[10:12] ---**
"Great Tournament"
**[10:25] ---**
The Akiba special arena
is super full, Kage-san!
**[10:28] ---**
Yes, I can't tell how many people there are.
**[10:31] ---**
Who would've thought someone would
organize this in the middle of Akiba?
**[10:34] ---**
It is unexpected.
**[10:56] ---**
Ladies and gentlemen!
**[10:59] ---**
Introducing the first fighter!
From Hunan, China, weighing 154 pounds...
**[11:06] ---**
...he is the kung-fu champion
of the world, Ma Ster!
**[11:12] ---**
Here comes Ma Ster! He appears
quite ready, with the Devil Panda style!
**[11:18] ---**
He has the coolest entry.
**[11:20] ---**
Given how suddenly this event
was organized and announced,
**[11:25] ---**
who would've thought so many people
would view this fight in Akiba?
**[11:29] ---**
Yes, he's, like, a sudden charismatic leader
of the ring or something.
**[11:35] ---**
Indeed!
**[11:46] ---**
Look! It's Ma Ster's Extreme Akiba Pose!
**[11:50] ---**
The audience is warmed up, too!
**[11:54] ---**
And look, Diva Risa is outside
the ring with the mic!
**[11:59] ---**
Listen up, boys of Akiba!
**[12:03] ---**
Today, I brought the strongest man alive
so that I can rule Akiba.
**[12:08] ---**
What?! Risa will rule Akiba?!
**[12:12] ---**
First, those so-called vigilantes
who pretend to defend this town.
**[12:17] ---**
Nobody asked them,
but they claim to be so righteous.
**[12:24] ---**
It's true, the vigilantes have no legal grounds,
just an unwritten code!
**[12:28] ---**
--But their intentions are true.
--Risa sucks! Risa sucks! Risa sucks! Risa sucks!
**[12:33] ---**
In order for me to do as I like,
**[12:36] ---**
I assure I will squash you one by one.
**[12:42] ---**
Wait, this song, could it be?!
**[12:50] ---**
Moi!
**[12:54] ---**
And his opponent! From Helsinki, Finland,
weighing 112 pounds...
**[13:01] ---**
...Arisa Ahokainen!
**[13:07] ---**
Look! It's Arisa Ahokainen, from the vigilante
group Electric Mayonnaise and Friends!
**[13:13] ---**
Today, she represents all vigilantes
to defeat Diva Risa and her ambitions,
**[13:17] ---**
and will take on Ma Ster!
**[13:19] ---**
Arisa and Ma Ster are both
great kung-fu martial artists!
**[13:22] ---**
Let's look forward to this great fight!
**[13:29] ---**
Master, please wake up!
**[13:32] ---**
You can't listen to that person!
**[13:35] ---**
It looks like these two have some history!
**[13:39] ---**
Yes. Arisa is actually Ma Ster's apprentice!
**[13:44] ---**
The master vs. apprentice fight
of the century is about to begin!
**[13:50] ---**
The battle for the peace of Akiba has begun.
**[13:54] ---**
In this Grand Tournament,
the rules are very hard core!
**[13:56] ---**
Yes. Not only is he a kung-fu master,
**[13:59] ---**
given that there are no rules,
we have no idea what Risa has up her sleeve.
**[14:05] ---**
So Arisa must pay attention
to both her opponent and her back.
**[14:09] ---**
It seems like Arisa has the edge
in terms of raw power!
**[14:14] ---**
He swings her towards the ropes!
**[14:16] ---**
His technique is astounding!
**[14:19] ---**
Ooh! A devastating blow!
**[14:21] ---**
That really hurts when
you don't see it coming.
**[14:23] ---**
Hey! No fair!
**[14:24] ---**
No rules means everything goes!
**[14:28] ---**
Oh no! The referee is down!
**[14:31] ---**
Now! Do it!
**[14:36] ---**
O-Okay, then...
**[14:38] ---**
Ma Ster, don't you care about
what would happen to your family?
**[14:42] ---**
Oh no! Ma Ster's family is being
held hostage and in forced labor!
**[14:47] ---**
It seems like they are growing lettuce
in a mountainous village!
**[14:52] ---**
Do it!
**[14:55] ---**
No, master!
**[15:00] ---**
My god!
**[15:01] ---**
Arisa!
**[15:02] ---**
This is dangerous!
**[15:07] ---**
Is he jumping from there?!
**[15:11] ---**
It's the Master Tombstone Bomb!
**[15:13] ---**
My goodness!
**[15:14] ---**
Oh no, our Spanish language casters!
**[15:17] ---**
Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!
**[15:20] ---**
Wow, wow, great! Are they okay?!
**[15:23] ---**
Look, Ma Ster is pulling
out... a kendo stick!
**[15:36] ---**
Weapon attack fails!
**[15:41] ---**
Rapid-fire chops! Arisa is on fire!
**[15:46] ---**
One! Two! Three! Four! Five! Six!
**[15:51] ---**
Hmm? What's this?
**[15:53] ---**
It looks like the waiting room.
**[15:58] ---**
Sorry, Arisa, Tamotsu... I let my guard down.
**[16:01] ---**
Help, Big Bro!
**[16:03] ---**
Those are Electric Mayonnaise members!
**[16:05] ---**
Oh no! They've been taken hostage, too!
**[16:09] ---**
What?!
**[16:12] ---**
Very dirty.
**[16:14] ---**
Let's end this nonsense.
Do you care about what happens to them?!
**[16:19] ---**
Dammit, I was wondering where they went!
**[16:22] ---**
Ma, Niwaka...
**[16:26] ---**
Ma Ster begins his counterattack!
**[16:30] ---**
No! No!
**[16:32] ---**
Just give up already!
**[16:34] ---**
Even with no rules, this is bad!
**[16:39] ---**
There it is! It's Ma Ster's Shaming Spread!
**[16:43] ---**
He's cornering her,
both physically and psychologically!
**[16:48] ---**
But if I retaliate, the two of them would...
**[16:52] ---**
I have to do something... I know!
**[16:55] ---**
Ma Ster releases her!
What is he doing? What's this?!
**[17:02] ---**
It's a bunch of tables!
**[17:04] ---**
This is the setup for Ma Ster's signature
high-altitude move, the Last Emperor Press!
**[17:10] ---**
Ma Ster begins climbing the giant ladder!
**[17:13] ---**
He's careful.
**[17:14] ---**
If he succeeds, this match
would be over, right, Kage-san?!
**[17:17] ---**
This was his finisher in
the Chinese tournament as well.
**[17:25] ---**
What?!
**[17:25] ---**
Tamotsu!
**[17:26] ---**
TM2! TM2! TM2! TM2!
**[17:37] ---**
Are you okay?!
**[17:38] ---**
Tamotsu!
**[17:39] ---**
Thank you, Big Bro!
**[17:41] ---**
He did it! Now Arisa is
free to counterattack!
**[17:45] ---**
Dammit!
**[17:50] ---**
Wow, this is intense!
**[17:54] ---**
Both fighters are down!
**[17:57] ---**
It's your chance, Ma Ster! She is still down!
**[18:00] ---**
Finish her with this!
**[18:07] ---**
Don't you care about your family?!
**[18:11] ---**
Huh? Don't you care?!
**[18:20] ---**
Ow! What are you doing?! I'm not the enemy!
**[18:24] ---**
My wushu is not for doing
such dastardly deeds.
**[18:29] ---**
Ma Ster suddenly betrays!
**[18:31] ---**
What is going on?!
**[18:33] ---**
Something could have happened
from the impact of the landing.
**[18:37] ---**
Or perhaps Risa's slap.
**[18:45] ---**
Risa is down!
**[18:48] ---**
Master.
**[18:50] ---**
The fight is not yet over.
**[19:12] ---**
There it is, the signature
Clothesline from Mapo Tofu!
**[19:18] ---**
A sweet tune is played on the master's groin!
**[19:22] ---**
Brace yourself, Master!
**[19:26] ---**
Could it be?!
**[19:31] ---**
Here it comes! Arisa's signature finisher...
Lovely Final the End of Attack!
**[19:46] ---**
One! Two!
**[19:48] ---**
Three!
**[19:51] ---**
The master-apprentice fight of the
century has been won by the apprentice!
**[19:58] ---**
Oh no! This is bad!
**[20:00] ---**
Attacked after such fatigue, not good.
**[20:03] ---**
Because of you, my plans to sell
cheaply-bought rice cookers at retail price
**[20:08] ---**
is ruined beyond repair!
**[20:10] ---**
What now?!
**[20:12] ---**
That's Tamotsu!
**[20:14] ---**
Akiba belongs to everyone!
**[20:17] ---**
I can't allow a stingy idiot
like you to run amok!
**[20:25] ---**
Taste the peculiar techniques of Tamotsu!
**[20:34] ---**
Even if you defeat me,
another reseller will rise to take my--
**[20:39] ---**
Enough already!
**[20:40] ---**
Time to give up already!
**[20:44] ---**
It's the legendary two-platoon move,
the World of Gonzo!
**[20:48] ---**
They did it!
**[20:59] ---**
I'm sorry to ruin your town like this.
**[21:03] ---**
Don't worry. I'm strong, you know?
**[21:07] ---**
Yes... I know.
**[21:09] ---**
But it's good to see both you
and your family are safe.
**[21:15] ---**
I am obviously in need of more training,
to be manipulated by someone like her.
**[21:19] ---**
I will restart my training from scratch.
**[21:21] ---**
Remember, everyone! Our town, Akiba,
will be defended by us, the vigilantes!
**[21:28] ---**
Moi, moi! We will continue
to defend the peace in Akiba!
**[21:33] ---**
Please help us Electric Mayonnaise help you!
**[21:36] ---**
Ready, everyone!
**[21:38] ---**
Electric Mayonnaise!
**[21:42] ---**
ELM! ELM! ELM! ELM! ELM!
**[21:52] ---**
"The End"
**[23:26] ---**
Stop! Tamotsu! Your life points
dropped to zero a long time ago!
**[23:29] ---**
If you continue the card battle...
**[23:30] ---**
I'm sorry, Mayo. It seems like
this is the end of the line for me.
**[23:32] ---**
No!
**[23:33] ---**
Akiba's Trip The Animation!
Next episode, "Tamotsu Falls."
**[23:34] ---**
No! Akiba's Trip The Animation! Next episode,
**[23:35] ---**
"TRIP 9 - Whoa, I Battled with Game Cards!"
**[23:37] ---**
"Whoa, I Battled with Game Cards!"

From here on, it's eternally my turn!

**[00:02] ---**
Cards...
**[00:03] ---**
Cards have existed since
the Big Bang created the universe.
**[00:08] ---**
It is said that, from ancient times,
**[00:11] ---**
humans have assembled 40 cards into a deck
to face their enemies in extreme combat.
**[00:18] ---**
That long history of competition reaches
its pinnacle in the ultimate card game:
**[00:25] ---**
"Battle Creatures."
**[00:28] ---**
The American presidential election,
the disbanding of an idol group,
**[00:30] ---**
"GNZ34 Graduation Event"
**[00:31] ---**
and the initial shipment of anime disks,
are all determined with this game.
**[00:37] ---**
In other words, the master of
Battle Creatures is the master of the world!
**[00:43] ---**
Now, players of the world,
**[00:46] ---**
pick up you decks and stand!
**[00:48] ---**
Throw yourselves into
the tumultuous seas of card battles!
**[01:03] ---**
This seems good!
**[01:10] ---**
Ahem.
**[01:12] ---**
I will begin the pack opening ceremony
for the latest Battle Creatures
**[01:18] ---**
expansion pack, "Evolution of Nerd"!
**[01:22] ---**
And now...
**[01:24] ---**
The glorious first pack!
**[01:28] ---**
Umm, no rare cards...
**[01:30] ---**
Vanilla creatures only...
**[01:33] ---**
But we are just testing the waters!
**[01:35] ---**
Next up...
**[01:37] ---**
Are there rare cards...?
**[01:41] ---**
And... no.
**[01:43] ---**
Well, they are called rare
because they're hard to get!
**[01:52] ---**
None, none, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no...
**[02:04] ---**
Th... This is the final one!
**[02:18] ---**
I'm home!
**[02:20] ---**
I never thought I'd get to see
the censored episode of that anime.
**[02:27] ---**
I guess you can't underestimate revival runs.
**[02:31] ---**
Dead?!
**[02:33] ---**
Oh, so that's it, huh?
**[02:37] ---**
I didn't expect to bomb so hard...
**[02:40] ---**
The Goddess of Cards must have forsaken me...
**[02:43] ---**
Is that much drama really necessary?
**[02:45] ---**
Hmm? Hey, this one hasn't been opened yet.
**[02:53] ---**
Th-This is the magic card, "Thirty-Year Hermit!"
**[02:57] ---**
"Three-Meter Radius Lifestyle"
**[02:57] ---**
As its name suggests, it is almost never seen!
**[03:00] ---**
It's a legendary-class ultra-rare card!
**[03:03] ---**
"Thirty-Year Hermit"
**[03:03] ---**
Huh? Seriously?!
**[03:04] ---**
Great, Tamotsu!
**[03:06] ---**
You have the Destiny Power to become
a Battle Creatures player!
**[03:11] ---**
I have a hidden power...?
**[03:26] ---**
Tamotsu!
**[03:28] ---**
This story--
**[05:00] ---**
Hmm, I do want to put one more
of these in the deck,
**[05:01] ---**
"TRIP 9 - Whoa, I Battled with Game Cards!"
**[05:04] ---**
but then I would have to remove this...
**[05:07] ---**
But currently the deck's balance is...
**[05:10] ---**
You seem very passionate.
**[05:11] ---**
Oh, Kage-san.
**[05:13] ---**
So you're playing
Battle Creatures now, Tamotsu?
**[05:16] ---**
Yes. I quit once, when the meta
changed heavily a few years ago, but...
**[05:22] ---**
Oh, yes, that was terrible.
**[05:25] ---**
Oh, did you also--
**[05:27] ---**
Yes! I used to make decks
purely out of banned cards.
**[05:32] ---**
You wouldn't be able to play
in any official tournaments.
**[05:34] ---**
Yes, but I defeated all of the
grade-school kids in the neighborhood.
**[05:39] ---**
What in the--
**[05:40] ---**
I can't believe this!
**[05:42] ---**
Hey! Cut it out already!
**[05:44] ---**
What are you so worked up about?
**[05:47] ---**
Oh no!
**[05:48] ---**
The small one picks on me!
**[05:51] ---**
Yeah, don't make a big deal out of that.
**[05:55] ---**
What? You side with this fluffy pig?
**[06:01] ---**
That's terrible...
**[06:03] ---**
I didn't do anything wrong...
**[06:05] ---**
Why do you say those things?
**[06:08] ---**
Peek!
**[06:09] ---**
Y-Yeah! You crossed a line!
**[06:12] ---**
Apologize to Miumiu!
**[06:14] ---**
Ugh, men...
**[06:15] ---**
What do you mean?!
**[06:17] ---**
Yeah! Just because I have one,
don't group me with the likes of him!
**[06:21] ---**
Huh?!
**[06:22] ---**
Chuo Dori Vigilantes seem
to have some sort of problem.
**[06:26] ---**
Yeah, youth can cause those types of things.
**[06:30] ---**
Koni-tan, you'll come with me to the
Heavy Low End film show tomorrow, right?!
**[06:35] ---**
N-N-No, you're coming with me, right?!
**[06:38] ---**
Oh, I don't know...
**[06:42] ---**
I'm so torn!
**[06:45] ---**
So cute!
**[06:47] ---**
Look, Miss Tetsuko, I took this photo.
**[06:50] ---**
Wow, great. I want to take
pictures like this, too.
**[06:55] ---**
Oh, then you can have this lens,
I'm not using it anymore.
**[06:58] ---**
Are you sure?
**[07:00] ---**
We can finally go alone on our
abolished railroads trip in Hokkaido...
**[07:03] ---**
Better yet, I just got two tickets to the Sleeping
Express that is going out of business soon.
**[07:07] ---**
If you want to go on a trip,
come with me instead!
**[07:09] ---**
Hey, you!
**[07:10] ---**
Is it true that you jerked off to
Miss Sacred Angel at the idol event?!
**[07:11] ---**
"Seikimatsu: Um, excuse me"
"Sacred Angel: Yes, what is it?"
**[07:12] ---**
"Seikimatsu: Can I have a few minutes?"
"Sacred Angel: Sure thing!"
**[07:14] ---**
"Seikimatsu: Can you stay still for 10 minutes?"
"Sacred Angel: Huh?"
**[07:15] ---**
"Seikimatsu: I'll be very quick."
"Seikimatsu: Really quick."
**[07:16] ---**
Well, didn't you ask her to have chat-sex
with you in exchange for a rare item?!
**[07:17] ---**
"Lucky Punch: Hi, Lady Sacred!"
"Sacred Angel: Good evening!"
**[07:18] ---**
"Lucky Punch: Lady Sacred, do you want
an EX Get Energy Drink by any chance?"
"Lucky Punch: I ended up with too many"
**[07:20] ---**
"Sacred Angel: Are you sure?"
"Sacred Angel: It's a rare item..."
**[07:20] ---**
"Lucky Punch: Sure!"
"Lucky Punch: But I want to ask
for a favor in return..."
**[07:22] ---**
Hey, stop it...
**[07:25] ---**
Please! Don't fight over me!
**[07:29] ---**
Oh, Miss Sacred Angel!
**[07:36] ---**
I've had it with you!
**[07:39] ---**
We're done!
**[07:45] ---**
And that's what happened.
**[07:46] ---**
Stupid. What a petty reason to fight over.
**[07:49] ---**
Maybe they weren't committed
to the vigilante cause.
**[07:52] ---**
Oh, I know what this is! It's a circrusher!
**[07:56] ---**
Sakura...?
**[07:57] ---**
Not sakura, circrusher.
Short for circle crusher.
**[08:02] ---**
It's what people call the girls who join
an existing circle of friends and mess it up.
**[08:07] ---**
Niwaka, where did you pick up
such unnecessary information?
**[08:11] ---**
Speaking of circles,
on this morning's Clamas TV...
**[08:16] ---**
Guys, another anomaly at Akiba!
**[08:19] ---**
The various vigilantes that were
protecting the peace in Akiba
**[08:22] ---**
are disbanding, one after the other!
**[08:24] ---**
It seems like they are all breaking up
because of girls that joined recently.
**[08:29] ---**
Circle crushing is coming up faster than the
cherry blossom season, and the storm is here!
**[08:34] ---**
We at Clamas TV will continue to investigate.
**[08:38] ---**
Are you curious?
Check out our next broadcast, too!
**[08:43] ---**
Boys who aren't used to girls
can get super excited
**[08:45] ---**
just by getting a bit of attention.
**[08:49] ---**
Maybe they can't handle the stimulus.
**[08:52] ---**
But why so many at the same time...?
**[08:55] ---**
It could be because of this.
**[08:57] ---**
"Princess Company"
**[08:59] ---**
Princess Company...
**[09:01] ---**
"Introducing 'Princesses' to your circles.
**[09:04] ---**
Akiba vigilantes, how about adding
a pretty flower to your activities?
**[09:10] ---**
For a girl to idolize,
contact the following address..."
**[09:15] ---**
Wow, I just peered into the dark
side of the otaku industry...
**[09:18] ---**
Suspicious...
**[09:20] ---**
Of course this is suspicious.
**[09:22] ---**
No, I mean...
**[09:23] ---**
They could expand further
with this type of business.
**[09:28] ---**
Why limit it to just the vigilantes of Akiba?
**[09:30] ---**
That is kind of weird.
**[09:33] ---**
So... could it be?
**[09:35] ---**
All right! Time to bust in!
**[09:39] ---**
Hey, wasn't this where "Izakaya Gon-chan" was?
**[09:42] ---**
Even more suspicious.
**[09:44] ---**
Let's go!
**[09:50] ---**
Welcome to the Princess Company!
**[09:53] ---**
What type of Princess
are you looking for today?
**[09:56] ---**
We aren't here to play along
with your stupid business!
**[09:59] ---**
That's right! We have a one-man harem setup
with Tamotsu; no need for girls!
**[10:04] ---**
That's not the point!
**[10:09] ---**
A harem? I'm jealous.
**[10:17] ---**
I am... CEO of Princess Company...
**[10:21] ---**
Iketeru Masada!
**[10:23] ---**
CEO?!
**[10:24] ---**
Weird hairstyle!
**[10:26] ---**
A good-looking, young CEO? How overloaded!
**[10:31] ---**
Focus! This is no time for that!
**[10:33] ---**
But he must make at least
30 million yen per year! He's great!
**[10:38] ---**
The hairstyle is weird, though.
**[10:40] ---**
A man's value is not determined
by his annual income!
**[10:42] ---**
It's all about what percentage of that income
he's willing to spend on hobbies!
**[10:45] ---**
Wow!
**[10:46] ---**
Enough stupidity!
**[10:48] ---**
He must be a Bugged One!
**[10:53] ---**
Well, you have found out already...
**[10:56] ---**
I tried to disband all of the annoying
vigilantes in Akiba using these girls.
**[11:03] ---**
I did not expect you to find out so fast...
**[11:08] ---**
If the conditions seem to good,
there's a trap hidden inside...
**[11:11] ---**
Just like my grandma used to say.
**[11:14] ---**
Since you came all the way out here,
please do enjoy...
**[11:20] ---**
...the welcoming of my beloved Princesses!
**[11:23] ---**
Here we come!
**[11:35] ---**
Easy!
**[11:36] ---**
You're the only one left, CEO Masada!
**[11:43] ---**
Impressive! Electric Mayonnaise,
the slayer of many of my comrades.
**[11:47] ---**
I suppose it is only natural that
my Princesses are not enough to stop you.
**[11:50] ---**
I suppose the time has come
for me to show my powers.
**[11:52] ---**
Enough talk! Come on!
**[11:56] ---**
Weak!
**[12:05] ---**
Do you see?
**[12:07] ---**
If I show my true powers,
you stand no chance in simple combat.
**[12:12] ---**
But where is the beauty in such a fight?
**[12:16] ---**
We shall fight with this!
**[12:18] ---**
Wait, what--?
**[12:19] ---**
I accept!
**[12:28] ---**
Bring it on!
**[12:35] ---**
Akihabara, holy land of the otaku...
**[12:38] ---**
The vigilantes who maintained
the peace in this land
**[12:41] ---**
were suddenly disturbed
by circle crusher Princesses.
**[12:44] ---**
With their bonds in disarray,
many vigilante groups disbanded.
**[12:49] ---**
Electric Mayonnaise find this suspicious,
**[12:53] ---**
and trace the suspicion back
to the Princess Company.
**[12:59] ---**
When they infiltrated the company,
**[13:01] ---**
CEO Iketeru Masada,
a Bugged One as expected,
**[13:06] ---**
challenged Tamotsu to a card battle.
**[13:10] ---**
Can Tamotsu defeat CEO Iketeru
and stop his evil conspiracy?!
**[13:19] ---**
"Battle Creatures"
**[13:25] ---**
Let's play with 2000 starting Life,
Animated Rules.
**[13:29] ---**
Yeah, at 4000 Life,
we would take two weeks or more.
**[13:35] ---**
I have the starting turn!
**[13:36] ---**
My turn, I draw--
**[13:37] ---**
Wait. In the current rules,
the first player doesn't draw.
**[13:41] ---**
Right...
**[13:43] ---**
I summon Happy Nerd from my hand!
**[13:48] ---**
I also play Long Blade Glow Stick,
and equip it to Happy Nerd!
**[13:53] ---**
"ATK"
**[13:54] ---**
By equipping this card,
his ATK rises by 300!
**[13:59] ---**
An Otaku deck,
based on Pure Boy-type creatures.
**[14:03] ---**
You are no match for my Promenade deck.
**[14:06] ---**
What?! We haven't even started yet;
how can you tell?!
**[14:10] ---**
You will see.
**[14:12] ---**
Soon...
**[14:14] ---**
My turn! Draw!
**[14:16] ---**
I summon from my hand
Bright Eyes Hot Guy!
**[14:20] ---**
"ATK"
**[14:23] ---**
When Bright Eyes is summoned, I can summon
as many Groupie Girls from my deck as I like.
**[14:30] ---**
Three copies of the same card...
**[14:32] ---**
I knew it, he's a hardcore player.
**[14:37] ---**
Umm...
**[14:39] ---**
Please hurry.
**[14:40] ---**
Sorry, um, I can't decide.
**[14:43] ---**
Should I do this...?
**[14:45] ---**
What's going on?
**[14:47] ---**
It's obvious!
**[14:49] ---**
Since he dedicated his life to Battle Creatures,
**[14:52] ---**
he cannot escape any battle
he has been challenged to!
**[14:56] ---**
No, I mean, there's more of us.
**[14:59] ---**
Can't we just gang up on him
and beat him up?
**[15:01] ---**
What are you saying?! Real violence
is only the final alternative!
**[15:05] ---**
"Follow the rules for a fun and exciting battle!"
**[15:08] ---**
Magic card! Otaku Dance Squad!
**[15:11] ---**
I can Special Summon up to
three Happy Nerds from my deck,
**[15:15] ---**
and deal that number times 300
damage to the enemy player!
**[15:19] ---**
Activate trap! Drinking Party Game!
**[15:21] ---**
"Drinking Party Game"
"Who's the King?"
**[15:23] ---**
This card forces two creature cards
to do battle with each other!
**[15:28] ---**
Activate Convention Staff effect!
**[15:30] ---**
Sample Booklet Inspection!
**[15:31] ---**
"Sample Booklet Inspection"
"Stars of the Back Stage"
**[15:32] ---**
Reveal all face-down cards
in the opponent's playing field!
**[15:37] ---**
Activate Busts ability on Hidden Breasts Girl!
**[15:42] ---**
You can do it, discover your self-esteem!
**[15:45] ---**
Oh no!
**[15:48] ---**
During this turn, Pure Boy-type creatures
can only attack Hidden Breasts Girl!
**[15:53] ---**
I activate Exploitative Gatcha from my hand!
**[15:56] ---**
This card allows me to draw
three cards from my deck!
**[16:00] ---**
Mo-mo-moi! What a strong card!
**[16:03] ---**
Is it really that strong?
**[16:05] ---**
It would normally be banned instantly!
**[16:08] ---**
Flash magic! But Only If You're Hot!
**[16:09] ---**
"But Only If You're Hot"
"Note: But Only If You're Hot"
**[16:10] ---**
"ATK"
**[16:11] ---**
All Promenade type creatures gain 500 attack!
**[16:22] ---**
I disable the effect that disables
the effect that disables the effect!
**[16:25] ---**
I disable that effect that disables the effect
that disables the effect that disables the effect!
**[16:32] ---**
Oh, this is such a tense battle!
**[16:34] ---**
I don't know, it looks pretty low-key to me...
**[16:37] ---**
Ma, can't you see the blood, sweat, and
visual effects between those clashing souls?!
**[16:38] ---**
"Seriously?"
**[16:43] ---**
You don't have the imaging skills!
Train your imagination!
**[16:48] ---**
I don't know...
**[16:49] ---**
I activate the second effect on
Take Home From Party!
**[16:54] ---**
What?!
**[16:56] ---**
Wait, that "second effect"
is printed on the card text, right?
**[17:02] ---**
Uhh...
**[17:03] ---**
You can just read that
and know what the card does.
**[17:07] ---**
Why act so surprised?
**[17:09] ---**
Don't question the tropes!
**[17:11] ---**
Why did you just blow up?!
**[17:13] ---**
Please, quiet during the game!
**[17:16] ---**
I activate Virgin-Killing Clothes from my hand!
**[17:20] ---**
All Pure Boy-type creatures
are sent to the graveyard!
**[17:29] ---**
Oh no!
**[17:30] ---**
Now your playing field is wide open!
**[17:33] ---**
I attack the enemy player directly
with Bright Eyes Hot Guy!
**[17:47] ---**
Don't die, Tamotsu!
**[17:49] ---**
If the enemy utters that one word,
you can still stand!
**[17:54] ---**
Did I do it?
**[17:59] ---**
What...?
**[18:01] ---**
When I was attacked,
I activated Express Option
**[18:05] ---**
which negates all attacks
but sets my Life to 100.
**[18:10] ---**
You paid 400 Life to extend your death deadline.
**[18:14] ---**
But now you have only 100 Life left.
**[18:18] ---**
You don't have a means
of overcoming this situation.
**[18:21] ---**
Why don't you surrender, like a man?
**[18:23] ---**
Unfortunately for you, my flavor text
has no mention of surrendering!
**[18:30] ---**
Why?!
**[18:31] ---**
How can you continue fighting
in the face of absolute despair?!
**[18:37] ---**
That's because...
**[18:39] ---**
...I'm a Battle Creatures player!
**[18:44] ---**
True, I don't have a card in my hand
that can overturn this situation.
**[18:49] ---**
But I believe in my deck.
**[18:53] ---**
This deck, that has survived
many battles with worthy opponents...
**[18:59] ---**
I place my life on this draw!
**[19:01] ---**
My turn! Draw!
**[19:04] ---**
I can tell.
**[19:11] ---**
This card is...!
**[19:14] ---**
I summon Silent Unemployed Guy
from my hand!
**[19:17] ---**
"ATK"
**[19:19] ---**
A creature with zero attack and
zero income? What help would that do?
**[19:24] ---**
I play magic card
Thirty-Year Hermit from my hand!
**[19:29] ---**
When this card is activated,
all Pure Boy-type creatures on the playing field
**[19:33] ---**
are set to defensive stance!
**[19:35] ---**
Also, the enemy player cannot
attack affected creatures!
**[19:41] ---**
So you're going to shut
yourself in and defend?
**[19:43] ---**
How fitting for a reclusive otaku!
**[19:45] ---**
Pure Boys creatures, after 30 years...
**[19:50] ---**
...become wizards.
**[19:51] ---**
Huh?
**[19:52] ---**
When Thirty-Year Hermit is on the field,
Silent Unemployed Guy evolves!
**[19:58] ---**
Shatter the flow of
wasted milky fluids and arise!
**[20:07] ---**
Wizard of purity, Pureness Wizard!
**[20:11] ---**
"ATK"
**[20:13] ---**
Three thousand ATK?!
**[20:15] ---**
But Bright Eyes has 2,500 ATK.
**[20:19] ---**
Even if you destroy him,
I will only lose 500 Life.
**[20:23] ---**
Not nearly enough to kill me.
**[20:26] ---**
Don't be so sure!
**[20:27] ---**
What?
**[20:29] ---**
Pureness Wizard, when summoned,
**[20:31] ---**
disables all effects of all cards in the field,
and can attack the enemy player directly!
**[20:36] ---**
Also, while this creature is in the field,
the enemy player cannot activate
**[20:40] ---**
any magic, trap, or creature effect!
**[20:44] ---**
That sounds pretty unfair.
**[20:47] ---**
I attack the enemy player directly!
**[20:50] ---**
Descend, mighty force of justice!
**[20:53] ---**
Justice Judge Kill!
**[20:58] ---**
"Life"
**[21:05] ---**
He did it!
**[21:10] ---**
Huh?!
**[21:11] ---**
H-How did losing in a card game
tear off his clothes?!
**[21:15] ---**
Because I'm a Battle Creatures player...
**[21:20] ---**
"Battle Creatures"
**[21:23] ---**
I don't understand at all...
**[21:27] ---**
Guys, I'm so sorry I was tricked by that girl!
**[21:31] ---**
No, I should apologize for being so impatient...
**[21:36] ---**
It's okay. We're still the Chuo Dori
Vigilantes, friends that protect Akiba.
**[21:41] ---**
Right! Right!
**[21:46] ---**
Looks like they were able
to patch things up.
**[21:49] ---**
Youth can cause those types of things.
**[23:25] ---**
Akiba's Trip The Animation! Next episode,
**[23:27] ---**
"TRIP 10 - My Pyloric Canal Just Opened?!"
**[23:27] ---**
"My Pyloric Canal Just Opened?!"
**[23:28] ---**
Tamotsu, what is this pyloric canal?
**[23:30] ---**
The pyloric canal connects
the stomach and intestines.
**[23:32] ---**
By opening it, humans can
surpass the limits of eating!
**[23:34] ---**
Moi! This could be a giant-killing,
the upset of the century!
**[23:38] ---**
Let's go, "I'm done eating"
is only the beginning!
**[23:41] ---**

**[00:03] ---**
Wake up, time to go on patrol--
**[00:05] ---**
Hmm?
**[00:07] ---**
He's usually asleep at this hour...
**[00:09] ---**
Moi! Tamotsu went out.
**[00:11] ---**
I, a cowgirl, will cover for him!
**[00:14] ---**
Huh?
**[00:15] ---**
Tamotsu said he's meeting up with
an old friend whom he hasn't seen in a while.
**[00:20] ---**
Did you brush up on fashion?
**[00:22] ---**
You used to just wear all black.
**[00:25] ---**
Same to you. You seem different, too.
**[00:28] ---**
Hmm?
**[00:29] ---**
You seem more mature, or something...
**[00:31] ---**
Yeah... Well... A lot has happened
after I started living here...
**[00:36] ---**
Well... No matter how different we look,
**[00:38] ---**
our friendship from middle school is eternal--
**[00:41] ---**
Hmm?
**[00:44] ---**
Wh-What is that...?
**[00:47] ---**
Is that a Bugged One trick, too?
**[00:50] ---**
Hey, you're sitting next to...
**[00:54] ---**
Hey, hey, I just told you.
**[00:56] ---**
This is my girlfriend I met at work.
**[00:59] ---**
Her name is Ubume.
**[01:02] ---**
"The fact that a friend now has a girlfriend"
**[01:04] ---**
Wait, you're sitting next to...
**[01:07] ---**
Like I said, my girlfriend!
**[01:08] ---**
Girl... Girl... Girlfriend?!
**[02:45] ---**
"TRIP 10 - Did You Open Your Pyloric Canal?!"
**[02:47] ---**
This is insane... He was
worse with people than I was...
**[02:52] ---**
--Did he start a new life in college?
**[02:53] ---**
--Tamotsu's eyes... They are fermented...
--Did he start a new life in college?
**[02:55] ---**
Like a surströmming...
[Swedish fermented herring]
**[02:57] ---**
He seemed to be
looking forward to seeing his friend.
**[03:01] ---**
I wonder what happened?
**[03:02] ---**
Probably something stupid, as usual.
**[03:07] ---**
It most certainly is not stupid!
**[03:09] ---**
Huh?! Girlfriend?!
**[03:11] ---**
Big Bro, you wanted a girlfriend?
**[03:13] ---**
Yeah. I can't forgive him
for finding love before me!
**[03:17] ---**
I trusted him!
**[03:18] ---**
I thought Tamotsu was not
interested in romance.
**[03:22] ---**
I think it really hurt him that
his friend found a girlfriend first.
**[03:26] ---**
It's too bad that we can't be your girlfriend.
**[03:29] ---**
Yeah.
**[03:31] ---**
Oh, I hope a girl would just
fall out of the sky...
**[03:35] ---**
Preferably along with
a robot exclusive to me!
**[03:37] ---**
Too bad. No girls fall from the sky.
**[03:41] ---**
Neither do robots, of course!
**[03:43] ---**
Stop being an idiot and let's go on patrol!
**[03:45] ---**
No! I don't want to go on patrol
if I don't have a girlfriend!
**[03:49] ---**
How are dating and patrolling related?
**[03:51] ---**
On so many levels!
**[03:53] ---**
I mean... My friend finds love
and is enjoying the prime of his life!
**[03:58] ---**
Meanwhile, I'm stuck living out
my short and undramatic life
**[04:03] ---**
dealing with Bugged Ones
from a warehouse in Akiba.
**[04:05] ---**
Is it so terrible that I desire
a pretty flower to accompany that sad life?
**[04:12] ---**
Oh, just once in my life I want to
go on a date with a cute, honest girl...
**[04:18] ---**
I feel sorry for Big Bro...
**[04:20] ---**
Hmm?
**[04:25] ---**
Big Bro?
**[04:27] ---**
I don't mind being your
girlfriend and going on a date!
**[04:30] ---**
Um... That's wrong on so many levels...
**[04:32] ---**
Then how about me?
**[04:34] ---**
Huh?!
**[04:35] ---**
With Arisa...
**[04:37] ---**
Yeah, do that! Go out with her!
**[04:40] ---**
It's not like Mayo would ever
go on a date with you!
**[04:44] ---**
I'm sure Mayo has no idea about where to go.
**[04:47] ---**
She doesn't even like you at all.
**[04:49] ---**
So you should jump on this opportunity and--
**[04:50] ---**
Ahem! That's not true!
**[04:53] ---**
Tamotsu! We're going out on a date!
**[04:55] ---**
Huh? Why?!
**[04:56] ---**
It's just practice! For when
you get a real girlfriend!
**[05:00] ---**
A real fake date!
**[05:03] ---**
Practice?
**[05:05] ---**
I guess if it's just for practice,
I don't mind going out with Mayo.
**[05:08] ---**
It's not for real!
**[05:09] ---**
I wouldn't care if it was for real, of course,
since I don't want to be your girlfriend!
**[05:14] ---**
Yeah, I know.
**[05:15] ---**
I don't care if you know!
**[05:17] ---**
Come on! We're going on
our fake date and patrol!
**[05:20] ---**
Wait, now? Already? Hey!
**[05:32] ---**
Hey.
**[05:34] ---**
So this is a date,
but what are we specifically doing?
**[05:36] ---**
Well, of course, that's... Um...
***SIGN*** "Niwaka" "Sorry to make you cover for your brother all the time" "Mayo, I'm at the patrol spot for today!"
**[05:42] ---**
Just do the things that make you happy!
***SIGN*** "Okay, I'm taking Tamotsu" there right now!" "I'll be waiting!" "Just do the things that make you happy!"
**[05:44] ---**
Good luck!
**[05:46] ---**
The things that make me happy...
**[05:48] ---**
Hmm?
**[05:49] ---**
Yes, all dates must start with a meal!
**[05:52] ---**
Let's eat something nice!
**[05:55] ---**
Good, good. Start with the basics.
**[05:57] ---**
Yeah, we eat the kebabs and
burgers from upstairs too often.
**[06:01] ---**
I know, right? So I'll show you
my favorite Akiba gourmet spots!
**[06:07] ---**
"Pure Indian-Style Curry"
**[06:08] ---**
The famous curry specialty restaurant
Bengal, founded in 1973.
**[06:14] ---**
I've never been here before.
**[06:16] ---**
If you haven't had this curry,
you haven't even started to learn about Akiba.
**[06:19] ---**
But it takes so much courage
to enter a place for the first time...
**[06:22] ---**
Really?
**[06:23] ---**
Like, won't they treat me badly
because I'm not a regular?
**[06:26] ---**
Not in this place.
**[06:28] ---**
What if they pretend to be Indian
but are actually Pakistani?
**[06:31] ---**
Why would you care?
**[06:33] ---**
Hey, two beef square curries and two lassis.
**[06:36] ---**
I see, a smooth Indian curry.
**[06:40] ---**
No, no.
**[06:41] ---**
Huh?
**[06:42] ---**
The curry at Bengal is "Indian-style".
It's not exactly Indian or European.
**[06:48] ---**
It's a unique, original style.
**[06:50] ---**
I see...
**[06:55] ---**
Delicious!
**[06:56] ---**
It has the fragrance and spice of Indian curry,
**[06:58] ---**
as well as the classy feel of European curry...
**[07:01] ---**
A true East-Meets-West,
the Gandhara of delicacies!
**[07:05] ---**
The meat, boiled to perfect softness...
Words cannot describe it!
**[07:09] ---**
It's a filling serving, too.
**[07:12] ---**
I know, right? You can get double meat, too.
**[07:16] ---**
Delicious!
**[07:18] ---**
They're eating and getting along!
**[07:20] ---**
The next step is key!
**[07:25] ---**
You're right, nobody should discuss
curry in Akiba without experiencing this.
**[07:29] ---**
The cinnamon in the lassi
is an interesting twist, too.
**[07:32] ---**
Okay, let's go to the next place.
**[07:34] ---**
Huh? Next?
**[07:35] ---**
Next is this place!
**[07:38] ---**
"Chinese Retaurant Gansen"
"This building, B1 floor"
**[07:38] ---**
"Kari... kawa"?
**[07:39] ---**
"Gansen!" This is Akiba's
most famous Chinese place.
**[07:42] ---**
"Recommended dinner dish"
"Meat lovers, assemble~"
**[07:42] ---**
Wow, huge menu diversity, too.
**[07:45] ---**
If you follow the owner Gan-chan online,
**[07:48] ---**
you can hear about the weekly fried
rice specials and limited dishes.
**[07:53] ---**
This is the weekend-only
beef tendon starchy sauce fried rice!
**[07:56] ---**
Wow, looks great.
**[07:58] ---**
Mix up the soft boiled egg on top...
**[08:02] ---**
Here I come!
**[08:06] ---**
Oh, delicious!
**[08:08] ---**
That looks great!
**[08:10] ---**
Why are they eating again?
**[08:11] ---**
Delicious... The fried rice is both
dry and smooth, a perfect balance...
**[08:15] ---**
The combination of that and
the boiled beef tendons in sauce...
**[08:20] ---**
It's like Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang...
**[08:27] ---**
So good!
**[08:30] ---**
"Kitchen Jiro"
**[08:31] ---**
Here's our next stop.
**[08:34] ---**
Eating again?!
**[08:35] ---**
Kitchen Jiro. I've heard of the place,
but have never tried it.
**[08:40] ---**
This is the most famous set meal place!
**[08:42] ---**
We just had curry,
**[08:44] ---**
so let's try minced meat cutlet
and fried chicken, large rice!
**[08:47] ---**
Wait... You're still eating?
**[08:49] ---**
Of course I am!
We have to eat when we can.
**[08:52] ---**
You don't eat much, do you?
**[08:55] ---**
I disagree...
**[08:56] ---**
The meals here are big, yet reasonably priced.
**[09:00] ---**
It tastes good, of course,
and the miso soup addition is great!
**[09:04] ---**
Look how juicy the minced meat cutlet is!
The onions are so sweet!
**[09:10] ---**
Not to mention how great it goes with rice!
**[09:14] ---**
I see...
**[09:16] ---**
Well then.
**[09:17] ---**
Hey, Tamotsu!
**[09:19] ---**
Wow, the breading is so crispy!
I can eat this even when I'm full.
**[09:25] ---**
Wait... is this an indirect...?
**[09:27] ---**
What is it?
**[09:29] ---**
Nothing! Delicious!
**[09:32] ---**
You eat everything like you really enjoy it.
**[09:34] ---**
Huh?
**[09:35] ---**
Just watching you makes me hungry.
**[09:39] ---**
I guess that's a compliment?
**[09:40] ---**
Thanks, I guess...
**[09:42] ---**
Okay, next.
**[09:44] ---**
What do you want to eat?
**[09:50] ---**
This is less of a date
and more of an eating tour.
**[09:53] ---**
Four more places after that...
**[09:56] ---**
I'm sorry, did I make you eat too much?
**[09:59] ---**
Hmm? No, it's fine.
**[10:01] ---**
I did think you eat a lot though.
**[10:07] ---**
I... I've lived here a long time.
**[10:11] ---**
A lot of things have happened.
**[10:13] ---**
There was a time where there was
almost nothing to eat.
**[10:16] ---**
I was so hungry, and it was so painful...
**[10:19] ---**
So I try to eat a lot when I can.
**[10:24] ---**
I see.
**[10:25] ---**
Well, eating when possible is part of
staying happy as a human being, I guess.
**[10:29] ---**
It also means that we're in a peaceful time.
**[10:34] ---**
Tamotsu...
**[10:36] ---**
Okay, next, let's go to my favorite place!
**[10:39] ---**
"Ramen Kagemusha"
**[10:41] ---**
"Ramen Kagemusha"?
**[10:43] ---**
It's one of those heavy-hitting types
that's popular these days.
**[10:45] ---**
I thought you'd like it.
**[10:47] ---**
Tamotsu, can you still eat?
**[10:49] ---**
I'll just have one ramen with you.
**[10:52] ---**
Excuse me?
**[10:55] ---**
Ouch... What's going on...?
**[10:58] ---**
Hey, you're a vigilante!
**[11:00] ---**
What's wrong?!
**[11:01] ---**
It's like... a black hole...
**[11:04] ---**
Please, enough already!
**[11:11] ---**
One more bowl!
Now the bounty is up to 240,000 yen!
**[11:15] ---**
Stop, please!
You're running me out of business!
**[11:19] ---**
I'm running out of noodles and soup, too!
**[11:22] ---**
Huh?! You're the one that offered the bounty!
**[11:26] ---**
Hurry up and make another bowl
with extra toppings!
**[11:30] ---**
Who's that guy?
**[11:31] ---**
Unforgivable!
**[11:33] ---**
Huh? Professor?
**[11:34] ---**
That guy's preventing
other people from eating ramen!
**[11:38] ---**
We're all hungry out here!
**[11:39] ---**
I've seen that guy on TV before...
**[11:45] ---**
I remember! He's the world champion
in corndog eating,
**[11:48] ---**
the food soldier, Black Hole Kurota!
**[11:51] ---**
I heard he lost to his rival
Minimum Tashiro, and went missing...
**[11:55] ---**
Whatever! Just stop him!
**[11:58] ---**
Hey! Can't you see
the other customers are waiting?!
**[12:01] ---**
Huh?! Are you saying I'm not a customer?
**[12:04] ---**
This place isn't for you to monopolize.
**[12:07] ---**
Hey, I have the right to eat whatever I want!
**[12:10] ---**
Do you want to challenge me
to a food fight like that girl just now?
**[12:15] ---**
If you beat me, I'll listen to you.
**[12:18] ---**
So that's what happened...
**[12:20] ---**
Accepted!
**[12:21] ---**
I accept that challenge...
**[12:23] ---**
As a member of the vigilantes
that protect Akiba,
**[12:26] ---**
I challenge you to a duel!
**[12:30] ---**
"Food Fight"

Hey, everyone! Another incident is here!
**[12:37] ---**
A ramen food fight has suddenly begun
right here in Horin Park!
**[12:41] ---**
The reckless challenger
taking on Black Hole Kurota
**[12:45] ---**
is the leader of Electric Mayonnaise,
Vacuum Mayonaka!
**[12:48] ---**
Does she stand a chance
with such a frail figure?!
**[12:51] ---**
Additionally, the two have vowed
that the loser pays for all food costs
**[12:55] ---**
in Akihbara from today on!
**[12:58] ---**
Things are getting out of hand!
**[13:01] ---**
Don't worry. Mayo can beat him!
**[13:03] ---**
But if she loses, who pays the money?
**[13:06] ---**
Not me.
**[13:07] ---**
Or me!
**[13:08] ---**
Do you really think a little girl like you
can beat me, a food soldier?
**[13:13] ---**
Of course.
**[13:14] ---**
You express no thanks to the food you eat.
**[13:17] ---**
You have no right to overeat.
**[13:19] ---**
Hah! All food is the same
when it ends up in your stomach.
**[13:23] ---**
The time limit is one hour!
**[13:25] ---**
The one to eat the most ramen
in that time wins!
**[13:29] ---**
We're about to begin!
**[13:31] ---**
Ready...
**[13:34] ---**
Go!
**[13:35] ---**
Now, the battle to decide
the fate of Akiba dining has begun!
**[13:40] ---**
They've both hit the ground running!
**[13:43] ---**
Eat, Mayo. Eat for the future of Akiba.
**[13:46] ---**
Good luck!
**[13:48] ---**
One hour...
**[13:49] ---**
Pacing will become a key element.
**[13:51] ---**
This is delicious... I can keep eating this all day!
**[13:54] ---**
That girl is good! Her water timing is perfect!
**[13:58] ---**
Yeah, if you drink too much water,
the noodles bloat up in your stomach!
**[14:03] ---**
Next bowl!
**[14:04] ---**
Next bowl, please!
**[14:05] ---**
Wow! They've both finished
the first bowl almost at the same time!
**[14:08] ---**
So fast!
**[14:09] ---**
I get full just watching them!
**[14:12] ---**
Go, go, Ma!
**[14:13] ---**
Next bowl!
**[14:14] ---**
Next bowl, please!
**[14:16] ---**
The two eaters are completely even!
**[14:18] ---**
Next bowl, please!
**[14:19] ---**
Next bowl!
**[14:20] ---**
They've both finished their tenth bowls!
**[14:22] ---**
The competition is intense!
**[14:24] ---**
They're totally even!
**[14:26] ---**
She needs to pull ahead somehow...
**[14:27] ---**
This has to end somehow...
**[14:30] ---**
I know!
**[14:32] ---**
--Huh?
--What?!
**[14:34] ---**
Wow! Vacuum Mayonaka throws her ramen!
Is she throwing the fight?!
**[14:39] ---**
Wow! She's catching the noodles
she flung with left-handed chopsticks!
**[14:44] ---**
And she eats!
**[14:46] ---**
She's throwing the noodles
in the air, cooling them!
**[14:50] ---**
She's saving the time she needs
to cool it with her breath!
**[14:54] ---**
Mayo! So cool!
**[14:55] ---**
She's speeding up!
**[14:57] ---**
Wow, Vacuum Mayonaka has started
a solo eating loop! Such speed!
**[15:03] ---**
Black Hole Kurota is left in the dust!
Can she keep this up?!
**[15:07] ---**
Dammit... Hey! Bring a pitcher of water!
**[15:12] ---**
Water? Now?
**[15:13] ---**
He's just going to fill himself up.
**[15:16] ---**
I am world-famous Black Hole Kurota...
**[15:19] ---**
I cannot lose!
**[15:21] ---**
Wow, Kurota dumps water into his ramen!
**[15:25] ---**
What?!
**[15:26] ---**
What is that?!
**[15:28] ---**
A defilement to the food!
**[15:30] ---**
That's the forbidden taste-ruining
technique, Darkness Engulfing!
**[15:33] ---**
The soup is totally ruined!
**[15:35] ---**
Hey! People worked hard
to make that! How dare you--
**[15:39] ---**
Hah! Who cares?! Taste is meaningless!
**[15:42] ---**
This contest is about who eats the most!
**[15:45] ---**
For that, I do anything it takes to eat more!
**[15:48] ---**
Food turns to crap once it's in
your stomach; it's all the same!
**[15:53] ---**
Wow! Kurota literally washes the food down!
**[15:57] ---**
That is what a food soldier
who fell to the dark side looks like...
**[16:00] ---**
It's almost like a drink!
**[16:03] ---**
That's the technique
Kurota developed in Akiba,
**[16:09] ---**
Akiba Super-High Building Eating Style!
**[16:14] ---**
It's extremely messy, but very fast!
**[16:17] ---**
He takes back the lead!
**[16:21] ---**
Dammit! She's...
**[16:22] ---**
I'm not paying!
**[16:24] ---**
Professor, I need...
**[16:27] ---**
Huh? Why do you think I would
conveniently happen to have a...
**[16:30] ---**
In fact, I coincidentally do have that.
**[16:32] ---**
I knew it! Let me borrow it!
**[16:36] ---**
Mayo!
**[16:37] ---**
Use this!
**[16:40] ---**
This is... ice?
**[16:42] ---**
Yeah! I used the instant ice making machine
that the professor happened to have!
**[16:46] ---**
Drop that in the ramen!
**[16:49] ---**
Huh? But...
**[16:51] ---**
Oh! I get it! Understood!
**[16:54] ---**
Wow! Vacuum Mayonaka
drops ice in her ramen!
**[16:58] ---**
She begins rapidly eating the cooled ramen!
**[17:03] ---**
I knew it! After all that talk
about taste, you're the same!
**[17:07] ---**
You're a dark side food soldier just like me,
eating for the sake of eating!
**[17:13] ---**
Oh no! Mayo fell to the dark side...
**[17:17] ---**
Is she engulfed by rage and hate?
**[17:20] ---**
No. She hasn't fallen to the dark side.
**[17:24] ---**
Huh?
**[17:25] ---**
Hey! Look at the ice she put in her ramen!
**[17:29] ---**
That's frozen ramen soup!
**[17:32] ---**
I get it! That would just cool the soup
a little without ruining the taste!
**[17:36] ---**
It's not Darkness Engulfing!
**[17:37] ---**
What?!
**[17:39] ---**
Vacuum Mayonaka is not on the dark side!
**[17:43] ---**
She's the food soldier's new hope!
**[17:46] ---**
Wow, Mayo is great!
**[17:48] ---**
Time to take back the lead!
**[17:50] ---**
Dammit! But I still have
a one-bowl lead! If I keep this up--
**[17:56] ---**
What's wrong? Kurota stopped!
**[17:59] ---**
Kurota drank too much water!
**[18:01] ---**
Yeah, with that much water, the noodles
must be clogging up his stomach!
**[18:06] ---**
One minute remaining!
**[18:08] ---**
Next bowl, please!
**[18:10] ---**
They are tied!
**[18:12] ---**
I have to force it...
**[18:18] ---**
Kurota reaches his limit!
He can't eat anymore!
**[18:22] ---**
But Vacuum has stopped, too!
**[18:26] ---**
I... I'm at my limit, too... But!
**[18:32] ---**
Time's up!
**[18:34] ---**
Black Hole Kurota, 30 bowls!
**[18:36] ---**
Vacuum Mayonaka, 30 bowls!
**[18:39] ---**
And one bite!
**[18:40] ---**
And thus...
**[18:42] ---**
Vacuum Mayonaka wins the match!
**[18:45] ---**
Great! Wow!
**[18:49] ---**
Dammit... I lost to a little girl...
**[18:51] ---**
So...
**[18:53] ---**
About our agreement...
**[18:56] ---**
I won't make you pay.
**[18:58] ---**
Huh?
**[18:59] ---**
Just promise to stop eating like that
and enjoy the taste of food.
**[19:03] ---**
Then you're fine.
**[19:05] ---**
That's all it takes... to forgive me?
**[19:09] ---**
Yes...
**[19:10] ---**
I decline!
**[19:12] ---**
Huh?!
**[19:13] ---**
I can't let this...
**[19:15] ---**
I can't let this stop my plan to starve
and conquer Akiba by eating all of its food!
**[19:24] ---**
A Bugged One!
**[19:25] ---**
I will eat all of Akiba!
**[19:28] ---**
For that, I have pledged
allegiance to Metrotica!
**[19:32] ---**
If it comes down to this, I will eat you, too!
**[19:39] ---**
He really is a black hole!
**[19:43] ---**
Eat, eat, eat everything!
**[19:46] ---**
It's a out-of-season gust of wind!
This concludes our--
**[19:57] ---**
Oh no!
**[20:00] ---**
Me, too?!
**[20:07] ---**
Nobody can stop me
now that my pyloric canal is open!
**[20:12] ---**
We have to do something...
**[20:14] ---**
Isn't there anything...
**[20:16] ---**
Hmm?
**[20:17] ---**
This is it!
**[20:18] ---**
Mayo!
**[20:19] ---**
When I give the signal, jump towards Kurota!
**[20:21] ---**
What nonsense are you talking about?!
**[20:23] ---**
It's okay! Trust me!
**[20:29] ---**
Wh-What the...?
**[20:31] ---**
Now!
**[20:33] ---**
Got it!
**[20:36] ---**
Impossible!
**[20:40] ---**
Hey, what was that about?
**[20:42] ---**
Hey, look!
**[20:44] ---**
Ramen wearing underwear!
**[20:51] ---**
What a date, huh?
**[20:53] ---**
I'm sorry... I guess that was terrible practice.
**[20:57] ---**
Well, that wasn't like a regular date.
**[21:01] ---**
But if it's for you and me,
this isn't too bad, right?
**[21:04] ---**
Huh?
**[21:06] ---**
Come on, nobody else
can go on a date like this...
**[21:09] ---**
Enjoying and saving Akiba at the same time!
**[21:12] ---**
Um... I guess?
**[21:15] ---**
Huh? Hungry already?!
**[21:18] ---**
I got relaxed and my stomach did, too.
**[21:20] ---**
A-And they say, there's always
room for dessert, right?
**[21:24] ---**
Why don't we go to a convenience
store for some ice cream or...?
**[21:28] ---**
Hey, there's a sweets store
that I've been curious about.
**[21:31] ---**
It's kind of hard for a guy to go in alone.
**[21:34] ---**
You want me to go with you? Are you sure?
**[21:36] ---**
Yeah. Okay, let's go. I wanna eat mamekan.
**[23:26] ---**
Big Bro, come with me!
**[23:27] ---**
I have to go get the
limited edition event ticket!
**[23:29] ---**
Event ticket, huh? Those are such
nice ways to save space.
**[23:31] ---**
Before, limited edition meant
figurines and storage boxes...
**[23:33] ---**
Live shows are the way to go!
Live shows and festivals!

**[00:01] ---**
Akihabara, the city of dreams,
**[00:04] ---**
is now under threat from mysterious
monstrosities, known as the Bugged Ones.
**[00:09] ---**
The people of the city formed
vigilante organizations to resist them,
**[00:13] ---**
but the invasion of the Bugged Ones
only grows worse each day.
**[00:17] ---**
This is a story of Tamotsu Denkigai,
**[00:20] ---**
a young man who gained
the power of the Bugged Ones,
**[00:23] ---**
and his merry friends who stood up
to defend the peace in Akihabara.
**[02:00] ---**
Okay, lights and mics
are all ready. Going to break.
**[02:05] ---**
Yep, yep.
**[02:06] ---**
Hey, Tamotsu!
**[02:08] ---**
Stop procrastinating so openly!
**[02:10] ---**
Sorry, sorry.
**[02:11] ---**
As producer of Manias,
I thought I need to see the rehearsal.
**[02:16] ---**
Whoa!
**[02:17] ---**
You're the errand boy!
**[02:19] ---**
Stop playing producer
and go put up posters!
**[02:24] ---**
Fine, whatever! I'll do it!
**[02:26] ---**
Don't come back
until you put them all up!
**[02:31] ---**
Marvelous.
**[02:32] ---**
Things are looking good.
**[02:35] ---**
Keep this up, and you would surely
shine as the number one star
**[02:38] ---**
of the Akiba Festival stage.
**[02:40] ---**
This is all thanks to Ms. Benikage, our
Super Ultra Miracle Hyper Media Producer!
**[02:48] ---**
I appreciate the kind words, but you
did this through your own hard work.
**[02:55] ---**
We did a lot of small-scale jobs
outside the spotlight.
**[02:58] ---**
Yeah.
**[02:59] ---**
Yes... If I close my eyes,
I can still see all of the trouble we had
**[03:05] ---**
from your debut to where we are now.
**[03:07] ---**
"Manias"
**[03:08] ---**
Yay! We're the Manias!
**[03:12] ---**
Like this...
**[03:14] ---**
Here you are!
**[03:14] ---**
Please try the Tohoku region
specialty, Hizu Namasu!
**[03:14] ---**
"Hizu Namasu"
**[03:18] ---**
It's crunchy delicious!
**[03:20] ---**
And that...
**[03:23] ---**
And the other thing...
**[03:25] ---**
Congratulations!
**[03:26] ---**
Extra spin for the occasion!
**[03:29] ---**
I didn't understand
some of the stuff we did...
**[03:33] ---**
And after all of the hardship,
you are facing the big day.
**[03:38] ---**
The day that you will take off
into the star-filled skies.
**[03:43] ---**
Especially you, Miss Mayo.
**[03:45] ---**
When you sing, you wear
the expression of a girl in love.
**[03:49] ---**
Perhaps someone important is in your life?
**[03:52] ---**
What?!
**[03:54] ---**
Double peace!
**[03:56] ---**
No! No such person!
**[03:58] ---**
There really is no such person!
**[04:00] ---**
Fine, just move your face please!
**[04:02] ---**
I said there is nobody!
**[04:04] ---**
There's no need to be so mad...

Akiba Festival Begins!"
**[05:48] ---**
Here we go.

Good, good.
**[05:54] ---**
Working hard, it seems.
**[05:55] ---**
Oh, Kage-san.
**[05:57] ---**
Why don't you take
a quick break? I'll buy.
**[06:00] ---**
Hi, welcome to Carl's Jr!
**[06:03] ---**
It's quite impressive how you order
the most expensive item without hesitation.
**[06:08] ---**
But anyway, the Akiba Festival...
**[06:11] ---**
I hear they're doing
a lot of really flashy things.
**[06:13] ---**
"Idol Event featuring
Earphones, Manias and more!!"
**[06:14] ---**
Some sort of "Nice Japan" initiative
with government backing.

**[06:18] ---**

**[06:21] ---**
"Nice Japan," huh.
**[06:22] ---**
"Ministry of Science and Education
Special Press Conference"
**[06:23] ---**
We will declare Akihabara
a special subculture zone,
**[06:26] ---**
and invite tourists from overseas who
have an interest in Japanese culture.
**[06:31] ---**
At the same time,
**[06:33] ---**
we seek to improve the overall image
of Japan as a source of information.
**[06:35] ---**
This is the core of the Nice Japan policies
that we have been pushing forward.
**[06:39] ---**
This great event, Akiba Festival,
is designed to push this even further.
**[06:43] ---**
"The Akiba Festival"
**[06:43] ---**
Akihabara is the holy land for
many enthusiasts of many genres.
**[06:50] ---**
These enthusiasts will enjoy this summer
festival as an event of their own creation!
**[06:57] ---**
That is the Akiba Festival!
**[06:59] ---**
A summer festival
driven by enthusiasts, eh?
**[07:02] ---**
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
**[07:05] ---**
If I don't go all-in now,
it would bring shame to my name!
**[07:09] ---**
Also, being a staff member
gives me early access
**[07:12] ---**
to limited-edition festival merchandise!
**[07:15] ---**
I like your motivations.
**[07:19] ---**
Yeah. So, Kage-san, can you help?
**[07:24] ---**
I think I'll pass.
**[07:25] ---**
Oh, come on, please?
**[07:36] ---**
Okay, time to drive some trains!
**[07:39] ---**
Hmm? What's that crowd...?

As you wish!
**[09:16] ---**
Producer Tamotsu, I'm hungry.
The usual please.
**[09:19] ---**
Yes, here you are.
**[09:22] ---**
Wait, you call me producer,
but I'm working like an errand boy!
**[09:27] ---**
What are you talking about?
That's standard practice in the otaku world.
**[09:32] ---**
Well, I guess, but...
**[09:38] ---**
What's going on, guys?
I handed the fliers out like you asked--

Special...
**[10:16] ---**
...court?
**[10:17] ---**
Hey, what did we do?!
**[10:19] ---**
Protecting Akiba with our own hands.
**[10:21] ---**
That is the duty of us vigilantes.
**[10:24] ---**
But you disturbed the peace in Akiba!
**[10:27] ---**
Especially at this important time,
right before the Festival!
**[10:31] ---**
When did we disturb
the peace in Akihabara?
**[10:33] ---**
What are you talking about?
The charges are false!
**[10:36] ---**
Stop playing innocent! We have proof!
**[10:39] ---**
Proof?!
**[10:40] ---**
Enough talk! Look at this footage.

**[11:05] ---**
Other cases include fan fiction books
purchased in Tora no Ana
**[11:08] ---**
being replaced by blanks,
**[11:10] ---**
figurines replaced with
suggestively designed konnyaku,
**[11:12] ---**
trading cards attached
to potato chips removed...
**[11:15] ---**
So much evidence of nefarious deeds!
**[11:20] ---**
Wait a second! Why would we do
all of these crazy things?!
**[11:25] ---**
So... you want to go down fighting, huh?
**[11:29] ---**
Well, here's the irrefutable proof!
**[11:32] ---**
Graffiti on the Myojinzaka Bridge wall!
**[11:32] ---**
"Denki Mayoneizu"
**[11:35] ---**
Look, the security camera has
a clear shot of you!
**[11:39] ---**
Idiots!
**[11:40] ---**
--Huh...?
--How is this me?!
**[11:42] ---**
This is nowhere near similar!
It's like the dark god statue!
**[11:47] ---**
When you put it that way, I guess...
**[11:49] ---**
The eyes are a little off...
**[11:51] ---**
B-But, the outfit is the same!
**[11:53] ---**
It's not about the eyes!
Nothing is remotely similar!
**[11:59] ---**
Bu-But! Isn't this you, Matome Mayonaka?!
**[12:04] ---**
Hmm... It does look like her backside...
But there's no way to tell.
**[12:10] ---**
So it's possible that this is really you--
**[12:12] ---**
No!
**[12:14] ---**
Huh...?
**[12:15] ---**
Absolutely not!
**[12:16] ---**
Tamotsu...
**[12:17] ---**
It's impossible! There is no way that's Mayo!
**[12:20] ---**
W-What?! Do you have proof?!
**[12:25] ---**
Mayo always does everything with us.
**[12:27] ---**
She can't do this!
**[12:29] ---**
Besides... I believe her!
**[12:35] ---**
So what if you believe her?!
**[12:38] ---**
Unless you prove that you're innocent,
this court will continue to press charges!
**[12:42] ---**
Fine, fine. We'll catch these fakes
and bring them to you.
**[12:47] ---**
Then you should have no problem!
**[12:53] ---**
"Then you should have no problem!"
**[12:56] ---**
That was pretty cool,
but what are we going to do?
**[12:59] ---**
Well, we'll find the fakes and grab them.
**[13:01] ---**
So how do we find them?
**[13:04] ---**
We have to think!
**[13:06] ---**
Professor, what should we do?
**[13:08] ---**
Huh? Um... From what I've heard,
**[13:12] ---**
the fake guys do things
that are unspeakably evil
**[13:15] ---**
from an otaku's point of view, to soil
the good name of Electric Mayonnaise.
**[13:19] ---**
Oh! Then how about we do a stakeout
where they might do bad things next?
**[13:24] ---**
Wouldn't we be able to catch them then?
**[13:25] ---**
Yes, but where would that be?
**[13:27] ---**
Oh, well, I don't know...
**[13:31] ---**
Ma, any ideas?
**[13:34] ---**
You mean the person on this photo?
**[13:36] ---**
No, the next bad deed they might do.
**[13:39] ---**
U-Um... I don't know...
Lots of things are bad.
**[13:43] ---**
Right...
**[13:50] ---**
I know!
**[13:52] ---**
What?
**[13:53] ---**
Did you think of something?
**[14:10] ---**
I knew you'd come here.
**[14:13] ---**
Like a moth flying into the flame!
**[14:15] ---**
I knew you'd come to obstruct
the fans lining up all night
**[14:18] ---**
to buy the limited-edition goods
to be released tomorrow!
**[14:22] ---**
We see right through your plans to soil
our good name as the guardians of Akiba,
**[14:26] ---**
and get us kicked out so that
you can conquer Akiba more easily!
**[14:29] ---**
Planning something so evil...
You must not be human,
**[14:33] ---**
you must be Bugged Ones--
**[14:35] ---**
Hey! Hold steady!
**[14:37] ---**
You can't just change poses like that!
**[14:48] ---**
You're about a million light-years away
from accurately portraying me!
**[14:59] ---**
What?!
**[15:06] ---**
Dammit...!
**[15:11] ---**
Tamotsu!
**[15:12] ---**
Moi!
**[15:22] ---**
Not bad for a bunch of fakes!
**[15:24] ---**
But they won't beat me!
**[16:07] ---**
How's that?!
**[16:08] ---**
Now you know what the real deal can do!
**[16:11] ---**
Case solved!
**[16:14] ---**
Hey, where's the other one?
**[16:22] ---**
You can't be...
**[16:28] ---**
Tamotsu!
**[16:28] ---**
Are you okay, Mayo?!
**[16:32] ---**
Time to pay your dues, Miss Fake!
**[16:35] ---**
I'll question you good!
**[16:40] ---**
What?!
**[16:45] ---**
She got away...
**[16:47] ---**
Hmm, like a ninja.
**[16:50] ---**
How did we fall for such a classic move?!
**[16:54] ---**
But what should we do?
We can't clear Ma's name.
**[16:57] ---**
Hmm... What to do...
**[16:59] ---**
No worries!
**[17:01] ---**
Professor?!
**[17:02] ---**
Where did you come out of!
**[17:03] ---**
Not now.
**[17:04] ---**
More importantly, I have taken photos
of the scene with my invention,
**[17:08] ---**
the super ultra-crispy clean
night vision camera.
**[17:13] ---**
You did it!
**[17:14] ---**
Hey! Don't make me drop the camera!
**[17:23] ---**
So very sorry! Honestly!
**[17:26] ---**
It's okay if you understand.
**[17:29] ---**
Right, Mayo?
**[17:31] ---**
Oh, yeah...
**[17:33] ---**
Now that the misunderstanding
has been cleared.
**[17:36] ---**
Let's shake hands and make up.
**[17:40] ---**
You're going to forgive me...?
**[17:42] ---**
After all the terrible things that I said...?
**[17:45] ---**
Thank you, Tamotsu...
**[17:50] ---**
Let's work together to make
the Akiba Festival a success!
**[18:07] ---**
"Great Akiba Festival Begins"
**[18:14] ---**
The Akiba Festival is now on!
**[18:17] ---**
The opening event, Idol Festa,
will start off with a performance from
**[18:20] ---**
the rapidly-rising newcomers, Manias!
**[18:41] ---**
Hmm? What's wrong?
**[18:43] ---**
A technical problem?
**[18:47] ---**
Guys, listen! It's a huge incident!
**[18:51] ---**
"Akiba Festival Cancellation Press Release"
"Clamas TV"
**[18:52] ---**
This is super serious! The entire
Akiba Festival has been cancelled!
**[19:00] ---**
"Akiba Festival Cancellation Press Release"
"Clamas TV"
**[19:00] ---**
What's going on? I'm switching to a live feed
from the minister's press conference
**[19:03] ---**
that started just moments ago.
**[19:06] ---**
Minister Kiyoi! Please explain this
sudden cancellation of the Akiba Festival!
**[19:10] ---**
After we reviewed
the planned content of this festival,
**[19:14] ---**
we determined that this event is
wholly unfit as a government project.
**[19:18] ---**
But we were told that the government
has been supporting Akiba culture
**[19:22] ---**
as part of the Nice Japan initiative.
**[19:24] ---**
We support globally-facing
healthy subculture, like movies and music.
**[19:31] ---**
We believe we must completely
eradicate this otaku culture,
**[19:34] ---**
which has only become
a harmful pornography industry!
**[19:38] ---**
You just said "completely eradicate."
**[19:41] ---**
Do you have a specific policy in mind?
**[19:45] ---**
Yes. We will be enforcing...
**[19:48] ---**
...the Akiba Ban!
**[19:50] ---**
"Akihabara Ban passes Diet,
will come into effect tomorrow"
**[19:55] ---**
It can't be...
**[19:58] ---**
"On Air"
"End Broadcast"
**[20:00] ---**
Not just cancelling the festival,
but a law banning Akiba...
**[20:05] ---**
Isn't this going a bit too far?
**[20:09] ---**
This is only the beginning.
**[20:12] ---**
The real battle starts now.
**[20:35] ---**
Um, hello?
**[20:36] ---**
Tamotsu... It's her...
**[20:38] ---**
It's my imposter again...
**[20:41] ---**
What's wrong, Mayo? Did she attack you?
**[20:43] ---**
Come to Manseibashi, quickly... Or else, I--
**[20:48] ---**
Oh! Hey!
**[21:01] ---**
Mayo!
**[21:03] ---**
Dammit!
**[21:06] ---**
Come on! Did she do this?! Hey!
**[21:29] ---**
"Stop procrastinating! Where are you?!"
"I’m eating vegetable foods"
"I'm on my way to Manseibashi now! Hold on!"
**[21:32] ---**
What's going on?
**[21:38] ---**
This can't be true...
**[21:42] ---**
Tamotsu!
**[21:45] ---**
Tamotsu!
**[23:25] ---**
Akihabara is a city of dreams.
I have been dreaming a long, long dream...
**[23:29] ---**
Who on earth are you?!
**[23:30] ---**
Tamotsu! It seems we must part ways!
Please don't forget me!
**[23:33] ---**
Arisa! What do you mean, "part ways"?!
**[23:34] ---**

**[00:02] ---**
Akihabara, the city of dreams,
**[00:02] ---**
"Akihabara"
**[00:04] ---**
is now under threat from mysterious
monstrosities, known as the Bugged Ones.
**[00:09] ---**
The people of the city formed
vigilante organizations to resist them,
**[00:13] ---**
but the invasion of the
Bugged Ones only grow worse each day.
**[00:17] ---**
This is a story of Tamotsu Denkigai,
**[00:20] ---**
a young man who gained
the power of the Bugged Ones,
**[00:23] ---**
and his merry friends, who stood up
to defend the peace in Akihabara.
**[00:30] ---**
The Akiba Festival...
**[00:31] ---**
I hear they're doing a lot
of really flashy things.
**[00:33] ---**
We are enforcing the Akiba Ban!
**[00:36] ---**
We can't clear Ma's name.
**[00:38] ---**
You can't be...
**[00:40] ---**
Are you okay, Mayo?
**[00:42] ---**
The real battle starts now.
**[00:44] ---**
It's her... It's my imposter again...
**[00:47] ---**
Mayo!
**[00:48] ---**
Come on! Did she do this?! Hey!
**[00:54] ---**
Tamotsu!
**[01:01] ---**
"Akiba Ban Headquarters"
**[01:03] ---**
"Minister's Special Office"
**[01:09] ---**
Making deals with prominent people to let me
become the Minister of Special Discipline,
**[01:13] ---**
providing huge funds for bribing
opponents of the Akiba Ban...
**[01:18] ---**
I can't thank Metrotica
enough for all the help!
**[01:22] ---**
Now we can finally get rid of those
stinky disgusting otaku from Akihabara!
**[01:27] ---**
Anime, manga, games... Those silly things
should be removed from all of Japan,
**[01:30] ---**
not just Akihabara!
**[01:33] ---**
Besides, those otaku are always
criticizing others online,
**[01:36] ---**
but suddenly start yapping about
individual freedom or otaku discrimination
**[01:40] ---**
the moment they become
the target of criticism.
**[01:42] ---**
Allowing such self-centered fools
to have significance in Japan is horrible!
**[01:46] ---**
We must make this world
much more disciplined and moral...
**[01:50] ---**
We have no interest in your beliefs.
**[01:52] ---**
Just do as we say.
**[01:55] ---**
O-Oh, of course!
**[01:59] ---**
Smooch! Oh, lovely money!
**[02:05] ---**
So...
**[02:06] ---**
Do you have a photo of the money transfer?
**[02:09] ---**
Oh, yes, um...
**[02:12] ---**
It's always safe to have multiple leashes,
even for a disposable pawn.
**[02:18] ---**
Anwyay, we should make
the best use out of this ban.
**[02:24] ---**
We need to push more humans out.
**[02:29] ---**
I'll leave you to deal with the traitor.
**[02:32] ---**
I'm counting on you, Urame.
**[02:38] ---**
Playtime is over. Time to
wake up from the messy dream.
**[02:47] ---**
He's awake!
**[02:48] ---**
Oh! Yes! He's alive!
**[02:51] ---**
Welcome back, Big Bro!
**[02:55] ---**
Huh...? I...
**[02:57] ---**
Tamotsu! I'm so glad...
**[03:00] ---**
I thought you were going to die again!
**[03:02] ---**
Huh?
**[03:05] ---**
Oh? Tamotsu...
**[03:06] ---**
Your hair, it's...
**[03:09] ---**
Huh? Hair?
**[04:42] ---**
"TRIP 12 - Electric Mayo's Falling Apart!"
**[04:44] ---**
Eat, eat!
**[04:45] ---**
Wait a sec! I'm full already!
**[04:48] ---**
No! You have to eat more and heal yourself!
**[04:51] ---**
Here you are.
**[04:53] ---**
The best for recovering stamina,
Chinese pit viper garlic juice!
**[04:58] ---**
Oh, Momo!
**[05:00] ---**
Hey, thanks...
**[05:03] ---**
By the way...
**[05:05] ---**
It's gotten pretty quiet, huh?
**[05:08] ---**
It's all because of that Akiba Ban.
**[05:10] ---**
Our place and all of the others
got "administrative guidance."
**[05:13] ---**
We lost a ton of customers,
and look at this horrible apron!
**[05:18] ---**
The Akiba Ban, huh...
**[05:20] ---**
Isn't this another Bugged One plot?
**[05:23] ---**
Well, the law is a law,
so it's a national-level issue.
**[05:26] ---**
A single Bugged One
certainly shouldn't be able to...
**[05:29] ---**
Maybe a bigger force is at play!
**[05:32] ---**
We can't let them do as they like with Akiba!
**[05:35] ---**
No matter how big they are,
I'll strip them and clobber them!
**[05:39] ---**
You can't, not anymore.
**[05:41] ---**
What do you mean?!
**[05:43] ---**
Like I said...
**[05:44] ---**
If your hair color is back to normal,
that means you're a regular human now.
**[05:49] ---**
You've lost all of your superhuman powers.
**[05:53] ---**
What? Seriously?
**[05:54] ---**
Huh? Why?
**[05:56] ---**
Why is his power gone all of a sudden?
**[05:58] ---**
Tamotsu received a Transcend Providence
from my polar opposite.
**[06:03] ---**
It's like multiplying two
negative numbers. So...
**[06:11] ---**
What does that mean?
**[06:13] ---**
It's like the hard disk drive
got forcefully formatted.
**[06:16] ---**
You don't have super powers anymore,
but now you can undress without dying.
**[06:21] ---**
You can leave Akiba whenever you like, too.
**[06:24] ---**
Huh? I can go home?
**[06:26] ---**
There's no reason for you
to stay here anymore.
**[06:29] ---**
No, no, no. I can't leave Akiba like this!
**[06:33] ---**
Who knows when that
fake Mayo would attack again?!
**[06:35] ---**
I'll handle that.
**[06:37] ---**
To be honest, in your current state,
you'll weigh me down.
**[06:40] ---**
Then give me your power again!
**[06:43] ---**
If I got re-formatted,
I can just overwrite the data, right?!
**[06:46] ---**
You should consider it very fortunate
that you were able to return to being human.
**[06:50] ---**
There's no reason to go back...
**[06:52] ---**
But why not?! Just do it again!
**[06:55] ---**
I thought we were friends!
**[06:58] ---**
Moi-moi, Electric Mayonnaise has me as well!
**[07:02] ---**
I understand your worry,
Tamotsu, but for the time being,
**[07:04] ---**
leave this to me and enjoy
a relaxing home defense job!
**[07:09] ---**
That might be a good, refreshing rest!
**[07:13] ---**
Oh...
**[07:24] ---**
Miss Arisa! Please come back!
**[07:28] ---**
"Miss Arisa"?
**[07:30] ---**
What's going on?
**[07:34] ---**
We are under direct orders
from Goldrich Diamond the 13th,
**[07:36] ---**
CEO of Shangrila Trophy,
to bring you back, Miss Arisa!
**[07:43] ---**
Shangrila Trophy?
**[07:45] ---**
It's one of the largest
conglomerates in the US.
**[07:48] ---**
They say Diamond, the chairperson,
is a god of business management,
**[07:51] ---**
and anything he does, like plucking
his nose hair, can affect stock prices.
**[07:55] ---**
What does he want with Arisa...?
**[07:57] ---**
Moi... I met Mr. Diamond
when I was in the US...
**[08:03] ---**
After getting my MBA,
I was travelling freely in the US
**[08:06] ---**
to wait out my graduation day.
**[08:09] ---**
I happened to join a party full
of finance-industry types,
**[08:12] ---**
and Mr. Diamond liked the taste
of my beetles boiled with avocados.
**[08:18] ---**
He first hired me as his grandson Turquoise's
personal plastic model building tutor,
**[08:23] ---**
but before I knew it, I climbed the ranks
all the way to first external vice president.
**[08:27] ---**
None of the individual story points connect!
**[08:30] ---**
Our chairman speaks very highly
of Miss Arisa's abilities.
**[08:35] ---**
He has always said that Miss Arisa
is the best candidate for the next CEO.
**[08:39] ---**
CEO?
**[08:40] ---**
Moi, but I already told him I am not ready
to do that until I become 20 years old.
**[08:45] ---**
We sent you an email the other
day about the illness, but...
**[08:49] ---**
It's actually very serious.
**[08:51] ---**
What?!
**[08:53] ---**
The company is in chaos now
to fill the replacement position.
**[08:57] ---**
Our company, and the entire US--
no, global economy--is in peril!
**[09:02] ---**
Please save us, save the world,
by returning to the company!
**[09:08] ---**
We beg you, please!
**[09:14] ---**
I owe a huge debt to Mr. Diamond.
**[09:18] ---**
I can't turn away from a serious illness.
**[09:21] ---**
Don't worry, just leave it to me--
**[09:24] ---**
Oh...
**[09:25] ---**
I'll be fine. Not only do I still have
the professor, I used to do this all by myself.
**[09:31] ---**
Ma...
**[09:33] ---**
I will never forget you!
**[09:35] ---**
Never, never, never!
**[09:38] ---**
Arisa... Take this.
**[09:41] ---**
What...?
**[09:42] ---**
Is this...?
**[09:49] ---**
I have been all over the world,
but Akiba was the best!
**[10:09] ---**
Well, Akiba is pretty desolate now.
**[10:11] ---**
All of the interesting things are gone now.
**[10:16] ---**
I thought we were protecting
the city from the Bugged Ones.
**[10:19] ---**
I never expected this outcome.
**[10:22] ---**
We couldn't even protect
the one thing we love.
**[10:24] ---**
What was the point of everything we did?
**[10:29] ---**
Tamotsu, you battle ends here.
**[10:32] ---**
Still on that discussion?
**[10:34] ---**
Why are you so eager to get rid of me?!
**[10:37] ---**
With Arisa gone, you're all alone now!
**[10:41] ---**
You can't do this!
**[10:42] ---**
I'll be fine; I can do this alone.
**[10:45] ---**
Thanks for everything, Tamotsu.
**[10:47] ---**
You--
**[10:48] ---**
Wait! You lost your powers, what can you do?
**[10:51] ---**
Shut up! I know!
**[10:53] ---**
I know I can't do anything to help anymore!
**[10:58] ---**
I know that... But... still...
**[11:03] ---**
Now that I'm just human,
she wants to throw me out?
**[11:06] ---**
Big Bro...
**[11:07] ---**
There you are, we've been looking for you!
**[11:12] ---**
We're staging a protest!
We're protesting the Akiba Ban!
**[11:16] ---**
We've got the other vigilantes to join,
and many others, too!
**[11:20] ---**
We got Kage-san, Lord of Akiba, to help, too.
**[11:23] ---**
He had some incredible connections and
was able to bring the government officials
**[11:27] ---**
out to a town hall discussion.
**[11:30] ---**
"Akiba Ban Protest Committee Member List"

Let's all fight to get Akiba back!
**[11:43] ---**
Hmm? What's wrong?
**[11:46] ---**
Right now, I'm just a failed student otaku.
**[11:49] ---**
I can't do anything. I have no powers.

I can't help you.

**[12:03] ---**
Later...
**[12:04] ---**
Wait... Wait! I didn't know you were so cold!
**[12:08] ---**
Hey! Tamotsu! Hey!
**[12:11] ---**
What's his problem?
**[12:12] ---**
Oh, u-um, Big Bro is a bit
seriously sick right now!
**[12:15] ---**
What?
**[12:16] ---**
H-He simultaneous contracted, uh,
influenza, Zica, and powdery mildew!
**[12:41] ---**

**[13:01] ---**
Big Bro, Kage-san is calling.
Don't you want to get this?
**[13:06] ---**
Hey, Big Bro!
**[13:08] ---**
Next item on the news.
**[13:10] ---**
The Akiba Ban has been received
with mixed reactions so far.
**[13:13] ---**
A discussion was held today with
the citizens who oppose this law.
**[13:17] ---**
"Akiba Ban Opinion Exchange Meeting"
**[13:18] ---**
The citizen groups proclaimed that they cannot
accept the law without proper explanations.
**[13:23] ---**
The government side brought
the minister to the meeting.
**[13:27] ---**
The minister asked for the citizens'
understanding, but no agreement was reached.
**[13:30] ---**
Opponents of the law say that
this law is much too aggressive,
**[13:33] ---**
but given how most juvenile crimes
are committed by figurine lovers--
**[13:39] ---**
Big Bro, what's going to happen to Akiba?
**[13:53] ---**
"Akihabara Purification"
**[14:01] ---**
No, stop!
**[14:15] ---**
Isn't this taking it too far?
**[14:22] ---**
There is no time to waste.
**[14:25] ---**
Everything related to Akiba
is being cast out of the cities.
**[14:29] ---**
Why won't the public
protest this abuse of power?
**[14:33] ---**
It seems like none of the TV
or online news sources are covering this.
**[14:37] ---**
It's as if they are trying to pretend
none of this is happening...
**[14:39] ---**
Is there nothing we can do...?
**[14:44] ---**
T-This is why we must work together and--
**[14:47] ---**
A little too late, don't you think?
**[14:49] ---**
When the bill was proposed,
who stood up to support us seriously?
**[14:54] ---**
It took the Festival shutdown and the
destruction of Akiba to get you on your feet.
**[15:00] ---**
Mr. Taiyo, why say those things now?
You volunteered to be on the vanguard.
**[15:05] ---**
I mean, just because we are late,
doesn't mean we have to give up.
**[15:09] ---**
It's always the ones that
persist that win in the end!
**[15:15] ---**
Yes. There must be something we can still do.
**[15:18] ---**
By the way, who are you?
**[15:20] ---**
Oh, sorry.
**[15:22] ---**
We're from Studio G3. I'm Tenkawa.--
**[15:29] ---**
We must let our leader escape...
**[15:31] ---**
Kage-san! Run!
**[15:35] ---**
He's getting away! After him!
**[15:45] ---**
There you are.
**[15:47] ---**
Here I am.

**[15:54] ---**
I can't connect to any

**[15:58] ---**
Big Bro, are you sure
you just want to stay in bed?
**[16:01] ---**
Shut up.
**[16:03] ---**
Bah! How long are you going to
be like that, you incompetent?!
**[16:07] ---**
Shut up! I'm just a piece of trash now!
**[16:09] ---**
Aren't you worried about Mayo?!
**[16:16] ---**
Fine! If you're not going, I am!
**[16:20] ---**
What?! Hey! Wait!
**[16:22] ---**
Don't be reckless--
**[16:24] ---**
Hey! Pervert!
**[16:27] ---**
How is it looking in Akihabara now?
**[16:30] ---**
"Akihabara Lively Cleanup Activity"
**[16:31] ---**
Yes, the area is completely sealed off now,
**[16:35] ---**
and volunteer workers are
working hard to beautify the area.
**[16:39] ---**
I'm looking forward to
a clean and pretty Akihabara...
**[16:47] ---**
I... I...
**[16:54] ---**
Traitor!
**[16:56] ---**
Why did you leave Grandma?!
**[17:00] ---**
Grandma...
**[17:03] ---**
We have enslaved the humans,
created Bugged Ones,
**[17:08] ---**
and governed Akihabara for hundreds of years.
**[17:11] ---**
Using the Metrotica facade,
we have controlled human decision-makers
**[17:17] ---**
to maintain peace and order.
**[17:20] ---**
But you! You have betrayed
our people, and escaped!
**[17:24] ---**
I...
**[17:25] ---**
I will never forgive you!
**[17:34] ---**
Why? Why?
**[17:36] ---**
Why did you betray Grandma?!
**[17:39] ---**
Akihabara isn't just for the Hazoku!
**[17:41] ---**
It belongs to everyone... That's why!
**[17:43] ---**
Why can't you see that this "everyone"
is breaking Grandma's heart?!
**[18:06] ---**
Big Sis, do you even think about how
I felt when you left the clan?
**[18:12] ---**
How I felt about being forced to
stay in the clan, to protect Grandma?!
**[18:21] ---**
Tamotsu?!
**[18:23] ---**
Tamotsu!
**[18:25] ---**
I would have died, were
it not for my helmet...
**[18:27] ---**
What are you doing here?!
**[18:28] ---**
Why did you think I wouldn't come?!
**[18:30] ---**
I'm not running anymore!
**[18:32] ---**
I'm fighting by your side, no matter what!
**[18:35] ---**
No!
**[18:37] ---**
No...
**[18:39] ---**
Akihabara is... It's not
like it used to be...
**[18:43] ---**
Grand-- I mean, Metrotica is seriously trying
to eliminate us using the government...
**[18:49] ---**
You're going to get killed!
This is not like the others that we fought!
**[18:54] ---**
No matter what power we have,
there's nothing we can do...
**[18:56] ---**
I can't let you die again--
**[19:05] ---**
Dammit! I don't believe...
**[19:08] ---**
What?! It can't be!
**[19:17] ---**
Stay out of this!
**[19:21] ---**
What?!
**[19:25] ---**
This is the way it's meant to be!
**[19:27] ---**
Leave this to me!
**[19:32] ---**
Bring it on, fake Mayo! Let's end this.
**[19:36] ---**
You... Get away...
**[19:39] ---**
Stay out of my family!
**[19:47] ---**
He's more powerful than before...
**[19:50] ---**
Dammit!
**[20:03] ---**
No!
**[20:10] ---**
Tamotsu!
**[20:13] ---**
Mayo...
**[20:15] ---**
Tamotsu...
**[20:18] ---**
H-Hey...
**[20:20] ---**
Thank you, Tamotsu...
**[20:31] ---**
Unforgivable... I will never...
**[20:36] ---**
Huh?
**[20:37] ---**
Tamotsu!
**[20:39] ---**
Huh? Arisa?
**[20:41] ---**
I'm home!
**[20:43] ---**
Hey, weren't you going to become CEO?
**[20:45] ---**
Oh, no, I turned that down, as usual.
**[20:48] ---**
What about the chairman's illness?
**[20:51] ---**
No, no.
**[20:52] ---**
It wasn't him, but his overweight pet
giant panda, Billi Billi, who was sick.
**[20:58] ---**
There was a huge battle over
who would replace him as the pet.
**[21:01] ---**
I concocted a special ultra-medical
Chinese medicine, and he's fine now.
**[21:06] ---**
They're both on a trip to Antarctica now.
**[21:09] ---**
What does that even mean?!
**[21:12] ---**
Arisa Ahokainen, returning for duty!
**[21:16] ---**
Thank you for coming back, Arisa.
**[21:18] ---**
Great! Electric Mayonnaise

to get rid of Matome...

Loud colors everywhere,
and fans of all persuasions
**[22:15] ---**
A town bewitched and blazing
with dreams and desires: AKIBA!

Push our way through the maids,
and dash up the Kanda Shrine stairway

gulp down a beef bowl, with curry as a snack

Let's go around to junk shops,
searching for future gadgets

Are the Artliens all gone?

Be featured on an AKIBA billboard!
**[22:44] ---**
Alight with 100,000,000 penlights
**[22:46] ---**
Okay, here we go!
**[22:48] ---**
Make a name for yourself
on this crowded battlefield
**[22:51] ---**
Sometimes the carrot, sometimes the stick
**[22:53] ---**
Come ye groupies, newbies,
vets, and all-around Wotas
**[22:56] ---**
Worship your idols with the Kecak pose!
**[22:59] ---**
Hear this voice, and even if there's no
scientific basis let your soul shout at 192kHz
**[23:04] ---**
Even if you attend alone, give us the Romance
pose and we three can stand against a thousand!
**[23:26] ---**
I have an important
announcement for our fans.
**[23:27] ---**
No, stop. That's the worst line
to see on an idol's blog!

Electric Mayonnaise to the rescue, moi!

Hey, where are Tamotsu and Mayo?
**[00:52] ---**
Tamotsu and Ma are
searching for the final boss!
**[00:57] ---**
Hey, you!
**[01:02] ---**
No! Help--
**[01:07] ---**
H-How horrible...
**[01:09] ---**
Hey, you're Masuto Niikura
of Clamas TV, right?
**[01:12] ---**
I need to ask you something.
**[01:13] ---**
Do you have to beat people up
before asking them a question--
**[01:15] ---**
What?!
**[01:16] ---**
No!
**[01:17] ---**
Sorry! Sorry!
**[01:19] ---**
I didn't expect the Metrotica
guys to be this crazy!
**[01:24] ---**
I was scared, I had to run away!
**[01:27] ---**
So you were connected to them,
as we thought.
**[01:29] ---**
It was suspicious how you were always
the first to arrive at the scene.
**[01:34] ---**
I didn't think much about it at first...
**[01:36] ---**
"Number of views: 118"
**[01:36] ---**
I was a tiny GonTuber
with only a few hundred views.
**[01:39] ---**
They tricked me by saying they
would provide news to make me more popular.
**[01:44] ---**
So all of this commotion after the
festival cancellation was Metrotica's doing...
**[01:50] ---**
They contacted the government
to create the Akiba Ban
**[01:54] ---**
and, as you know, used
a special squad to clean Akiba!
**[01:57] ---**
They want to conquer the vacant Akihabara,
then later rebel against the government
**[02:02] ---**
to create an independent nation
of Bugged ones!
**[02:06] ---**
That is the master plan, drawn up by
the leader of Metrotica, Fukame Mayonaka!
**[02:11] ---**
Mayonaka...?
**[02:14] ---**
"Metrotica" is the name of the Bugged One
hit squad used by the Hazoku.
**[02:19] ---**
Its leader is the leader of the Hazoku,
and my grandmother,
**[02:23] ---**
Fukame Mayonaka.
**[02:26] ---**
Mayo's... grandma?
**[02:28] ---**
That's...
**[02:30] ---**
Why did you keep such
an important plot point secret?!
**[02:33] ---**
If I told you, it'd create
all sorts of awkwardness!
**[02:35] ---**
--Awkward?! Is that your excuse?!
--Um...
**[02:37] ---**
But anyway...
**[02:39] ---**
Just tell me how to get inside
Grandma's hiding place.
**[02:46] ---**
"Manseibashi"
**[02:54] ---**
He was right, this is the key
to the Metrotica headquarters.
**[02:59] ---**
Let's try the instructions on the memo.
**[03:02] ---**
First, on controller 1, input "up, up, down, down,
**[03:07] ---**
hold right, and press A and B at the same time."
**[03:11] ---**
Then, on controller 2,
do a full circle clockwise on the D-pad.
**[03:15] ---**
Controller one, hit Select four times,
press and hold A and B on controller 2.
**[03:20] ---**
Hold those buttons and Start on controller 1,
**[03:21] ---**
then D-pad left, then D-pad right on controller 2--
**[03:23] ---**
You help, too!
**[03:26] ---**
Metrotica.
**[03:37] ---**
Hey, can I ask you something?
**[03:38] ---**
What is it?
**[03:39] ---**
Why do we have to fight your grandmother?
**[03:43] ---**
The Hazoku have maintained
the peace in Akihabara.
**[03:46] ---**
But Grandma says Akihabara is
tainted by the greed of humans.
**[03:52] ---**
Hey, that's what that minister said...
**[03:54] ---**
It's a little different.
**[03:56] ---**
According to Grandma,
tainted greed corrupts the flow of Ki,
**[04:00] ---**
which adversely affects the
source of Hazoku power.
**[04:01] ---**
"Bedroom Lollipop"
"Super Erotic"
**[04:04] ---**
If we don't remove the corruption,
the Hazoku will die off as well.
**[04:09] ---**
That's what I used to think as well.
**[04:11] ---**
Until that day I left the underground
for the first time in 50 years
**[04:14] ---**
and came in touch with the
atmosphere in Akihabara...
**[04:16] ---**
Huh? Mayo, how old are you?
**[04:17] ---**
78.
**[04:18] ---**
Whoa!
**[04:19] ---**
I'm pretty young for a Hazoku.
**[04:22] ---**
Anyway, from my point of view,
Akihabara wasn't "tainted" at all.
**[04:28] ---**
In fact, I thought it was full of passion.
**[04:28] ---**
"Great price plasma TV"
**[04:29] ---**
"Game Otaku Cafe"
"'Come, or I arrest you!'"
**[04:30] ---**
I didn't understand much of it,
but nevertheless I was drawn to the things,
**[04:34] ---**
the people, and all of the other
shiny things all over the town.
**[04:39] ---**
Before I knew it, Grandma's order
to purify Akihabara flew out of my mind.
**[04:45] ---**
I fell in love with Akihabara.
**[04:48] ---**
That's when I left the
underground Hazoku dwelling
**[04:53] ---**
and became opposed to Grandma's way
of forcefully changing Akihabara.
**[04:57] ---**
Couldn't you talk to her?
**[05:00] ---**
I tried many times to convince her
that Akihabara wasn't tainted,
**[05:03] ---**
but she wouldn't listen.
**[05:05] ---**
They also moved the entrance to
the dwelling without telling me.
**[05:10] ---**
I couldn't meet Grandma in person anymore.
**[05:14] ---**
Hmm... I guess it's tough when
family issues get complicated like that.
**[05:17] ---**
I wish my dad was
more accepting of my hobbies...
**[05:21] ---**
Hey.
**[05:21] ---**
Oh? Doors...
**[05:24] ---**
Watch out, one of them must be a trap.
**[05:27] ---**
Hmm... In this case...
**[05:31] ---**
Right!
**[05:32] ---**
I might as well choose this door!
**[05:36] ---**
Nothing's happening...
**[05:37] ---**
Good!
**[05:38] ---**
I actually thought it would be the other one.
**[05:40] ---**
It's a common trap!
**[05:45] ---**
I can handle traps easily.
**[05:48] ---**
Don't get cocky.
**[05:49] ---**
I'm fine, I'm fine.
**[05:54] ---**
Hey! What did I just say?!
**[05:57] ---**
Sorry, sorry...
**[05:59] ---**
Hey, this is a rare Amami Shika Beetle!
**[06:07] ---**
"Very Fun Button to Push"
"Safe" | "No Problem"
**[06:07] ---**
What is this button?!
**[06:09] ---**
Why are you going
out of your way to trigger traps?!
**[06:12] ---**
Sorry!
**[06:16] ---**
Seriously, don't touch anything!
**[06:18] ---**
Yes...
**[06:18] ---**
At this rate, we'll never make it
to Grandma in one piece...
**[06:22] ---**
You will never reach the leader!
**[06:26] ---**
You will go no further!
**[06:28] ---**
We are the elite bodyguards of our leader...
**[06:30] ---**
Ototoi Friday!
**[06:33] ---**
What's up with them?
**[06:34] ---**
Watch out!
**[06:35] ---**
They're powerful high-rankers who've
received powers directly from Grandma!
**[06:38] ---**
But it's only two. I can handle them!
**[06:41] ---**
"Two," you say?
**[06:42] ---**
No, no!
**[06:46] ---**
These are...
**[06:47] ---**
We defeated them and they vaporized!
**[06:50] ---**
This is another power that our leader has!
**[06:52] ---**
Get them!
**[07:01] ---**
It can't be!
**[07:02] ---**
The reconstituted Bugged Ones are
ten times more powerful than the original!
**[07:06] ---**
You!
**[07:08] ---**
I don't know if you're
Ototoi Friday or Oshio Heihachiro,
**[07:11] ---**
but I'll rip your flimsy outfits off instantly!
**[07:20] ---**
Save us, leader!
**[07:22] ---**
A secret passage!
**[07:24] ---**
The fact that you only
partially undressed them so that
**[07:27] ---**
you can see them naked for a bit longer
before they vaporized paid off!
**[07:30] ---**
Silence!
**[07:33] ---**
The building is getting more elaborate!
**[07:35] ---**
This is it, the underground palace!
**[07:46] ---**
What is this place? It's gorgeous!
The floors are shining, too!
**[07:51] ---**
The light comes from
the source of Hazoku power.
**[07:54] ---**
Kurobugs are generated here as well. Look!
**[08:01] ---**
Help us!
**[08:06] ---**
That's... Mayo's grandma?
**[08:10] ---**
Welcome home, Matome.
**[08:13] ---**
It has been a little over 20 years
since you left this place.
**[08:16] ---**
Did you enjoy playing with the corrupt humans?
**[08:20] ---**
Grandma... Stop!
**[08:23] ---**
I love Akihabara. Don't destroy it!
**[08:25] ---**
Yeah! I won't let you have your way!
**[08:28] ---**
I, Tamotsu, will not allow--
**[08:32] ---**
Tamotsu!
**[08:40] ---**
Why are you so stubborn?
**[08:43] ---**
You used to be such a nice girl,
always doing as I asked.
**[08:49] ---**
You, too, wanted to purify the corruption
that was slowly tainting Akihabara.
**[08:56] ---**
When we first moved to this land,
it was full of good Ki,
**[09:02] ---**
and it helped nurture
the source of our power well.
**[09:08] ---**
But...
**[09:09] ---**
We got caught in the middle of
a petty conflict between humans,
**[09:12] ---**
and were forced to escape underground.
**[09:14] ---**
"Radio Center"
**[09:15] ---**
Then, Akihabara began to change...
**[09:19] ---**
The land was overwhelmed by greedy humans,
**[09:23] ---**
followed by those with strange sexual desires.
**[09:27] ---**
If their filthy greed covers this city,
**[09:31] ---**
not only would we lose our powers,
**[09:33] ---**
we may be engulfed by the corrupted Ki
and vanish, like 70 years ago.
**[09:38] ---**
Grandma, that's...
**[09:40] ---**
For the Hazoku... we must purify Akihabara.
Why won't you understand?
**[09:46] ---**
Why don't you understand that the filthy,
corrupt humans are mere pests?!
**[09:53] ---**
Shut up! Don't underestimate humans!
**[09:57] ---**
Corrupt? Tainted? Who are you to decide?!
**[10:01] ---**
It's all just your biased judgement!
**[10:03] ---**
Persistent pest...
**[10:05] ---**
Wait!
**[10:07] ---**
Grandma! Tamotsu is right!
**[10:09] ---**
Nobody has the right to decide
whether or not Akihabara is corrupted!
**[10:13] ---**
Matome...
**[10:14] ---**
Besides, I don't feel any bad Ki!
**[10:18] ---**
Akihabara is nothing like
how it was 70 years ago...
**[10:21] ---**
...when Mom and Dad died!
**[10:25] ---**
Matome!
**[10:32] ---**
Filthy traitor! I will have no more of this!
**[10:37] ---**
You shall join me in my
cleansing of Akihabara!
**[10:41] ---**
What's this?!
**[10:45] ---**
What the...
**[10:47] ---**
Destroy!
**[10:56] ---**
That's...
**[11:03] ---**
Great! We have electricity!
**[11:05] ---**
Are we good now?
**[11:07] ---**
Yes, and I'm going to mass produce these now!
**[11:10] ---**
What's this?
**[11:11] ---**
A drug?
**[11:21] ---**
Is this... me?
**[11:23] ---**
Hey, she woke up!
**[11:25] ---**
It seems her memory isn't back yet.
**[11:30] ---**
Look!
**[11:38] ---**
--Ma!
--Mayo!
--Matome!
**[11:39] ---**
I will now begin the forced
purification of this land!
**[11:58] ---**
Wh-What is that?!
**[11:59] ---**
It's an outrageous weapon!
**[12:01] ---**
It's finally here!
**[12:05] ---**
Humans! I will exterminate you!
**[12:12] ---**
Mayo...
**[12:20] ---**
Save me, precious money!
**[12:23] ---**
Enough of this roundabout
Akiba Ban nonsense!
**[12:26] ---**
I will destroy everything
and flatten this whole area!
**[12:29] ---**
Hold on, granny!
**[12:32] ---**
You won't have your way!
**[12:40] ---**
You parasite!
**[12:44] ---**
Big Bro is on the body!
**[12:46] ---**
Go, go, Tamotsu!
**[12:47] ---**
Hey!
**[12:50] ---**
We're ready!
**[12:52] ---**
Good work.
**[12:53] ---**
What are all of these test tubes anyway?
**[12:57] ---**
I told you, it's a secret weapon!
**[12:59] ---**
But there is just one issue...
**[13:01] ---**
For this to work completely,
all three members of Manias need to be here.
**[13:05] ---**
Worst case scenario, I will take her place...
**[13:08] ---**
You should avoid that!
**[13:10] ---**
You're a little too old for that...
**[13:11] ---**
Silence!
**[13:13] ---**
Who can possibly replace Mayo?
**[13:18] ---**
"Manias"
**[13:18] ---**
I'm Matome Mayonaka, AKA Matomeru
of Manias! Nice to meet you!
**[13:29] ---**
Die.
**[13:36] ---**
Mayo... Wake up, Mayo!
**[13:40] ---**
We promised to defend Akiba together!
**[13:43] ---**
You love Akiba, don't you?!
**[13:47] ---**
Aki...ba...
**[13:49] ---**
Ma--
**[13:57] ---**
Pyuko!
**[13:58] ---**
I have heard that you were in trouble
and have returned from outer space.
**[14:02] ---**
I'm so glad you're alive!
**[14:05] ---**
Nice timing. Give me a hand!
**[14:07] ---**
Yes!
**[14:11] ---**
Mayo!
**[14:13] ---**
Tamotsu!
**[14:14] ---**
Mayo!
**[14:20] ---**
Mayo! Are you okay?!
**[14:21] ---**
I'm fine, but...
**[14:25] ---**
How are we supposed to defeat that?
**[14:27] ---**
Don't give up! There's still
overtime even if you do!
**[14:30] ---**
But...
**[14:34] ---**
Is that...?
**[14:50] ---**
Wow, Urame?!
**[15:32] ---**
Everyone, raise your voices, moi!
**[15:35] ---**
Put your hearts together!
**[15:37] ---**
I don't understand, but try!
**[15:40] ---**
We Manias support Tamotsu Denkigai and
Matome Mayonaka together with you all!
**[15:52] ---**
Support? That is meaningless!
**[16:04] ---**
What?!
**[16:07] ---**
Behold the Power Supply Glowstick!
**[16:09] ---**
It converts the people's support
of Akiba into physical energy!
**[16:14] ---**
It's the ultimate deus ex machina tool!
**[16:17] ---**
Go, Tamotsu! You're the only one
that can defeat her!
**[16:21] ---**
Gotcha!
**[16:29] ---**
You won't...!
**[16:33] ---**
Go fight!
**[16:35] ---**
Fight on!
**[16:39] ---**
Everyone...
**[16:40] ---**
There's still so many people?
**[16:43] ---**
More corruption!
**[16:46] ---**
Guys! Thanks for responding to
the call from Clamas TV!
**[16:50] ---**
Those of you who couldn't make it,
send your love towards Akihabara this way!
**[16:54] ---**
We love what we love
and nobody can stand in our way!
**[16:57] ---**
Just hold that thought in your heart!
**[16:59] ---**
Yes! The people's support
of Akiba will save this town!
**[17:03] ---**
Tamotsu! Tamotsu! Tamotsu!
**[17:10] ---**
Nonsense... I will eliminate you
along with this city!
**[17:16] ---**
Home run!
**[17:19] ---**
Impossible!
**[17:21] ---**
Grandma!
**[17:22] ---**
Can't you see?! Look!
**[17:25] ---**
The people who you said were corrupt,
the light coming out of them!
**[17:28] ---**
Sure, it's driven by greed,
and could sometimes go rampant.
**[17:32] ---**
But that's all just a form of
overflowing, unstoppable love!
**[17:36] ---**
We all love this town! This light is proof!
**[17:43] ---**
This... light...
**[17:46] ---**
So beautiful...
**[17:49] ---**
No... No!
**[17:53] ---**
Grandma!
**[17:54] ---**
Time to do this the hard way!
**[17:56] ---**
Everyone, let's gather our strength!
**[18:07] ---**
The love... of Akiba...
**[18:47] ---**
Grandma, I'm sorry... I...
**[18:52] ---**
Matome... Perhaps you were right...
**[18:58] ---**
The people's love of this city...
**[19:01] ---**
I didn't realize how strong and beautiful it is...
**[19:06] ---**
I should have spent more time
with the people of this town...
**[19:11] ---**
Grandma...
**[19:13] ---**
Matome...
**[19:14] ---**
You must continue to protect Akihabara...
**[19:18] ---**
...and the beautiful hearts of its people...
**[19:21] ---**
And... Mr. Tamotsu...
**[19:24] ---**
Please take care of Matome...
**[19:29] ---**
Yes!
**[19:31] ---**
So... Matome... goodbye...
**[19:36] ---**
Grandma!
**[20:04] ---**
What?! What is this...?
**[20:07] ---**
There is much more I need you to confess.
**[20:11] ---**
Ugh... This must be karma.
**[20:14] ---**
Let's leave Akihabara to the young couple.
**[20:24] ---**
Oh dear, oh dear...
I'm getting out of this terrible town.
**[20:28] ---**
Ouch! What is this?!
**[20:31] ---**
You... the giant maid from Akihabara!
**[20:34] ---**
What do you want with me, you dirty maid?!
**[20:38] ---**
"Warrant for Arrest"
**[20:38] ---**
I may be Momo Tsukumo
the popular maid by day...
**[20:43] ---**
But my true identity is
**[20:44] ---**
Tokyo Police Department
District Public Prosecutor Undercover Agent
**[20:47] ---**
Moukomomo Tsukumomomochi.
**[20:50] ---**
Minister Shigusa Kiyoi...
**[20:52] ---**
You are under arrest for bribery,
**[20:56] ---**
and assisting in fraudulent accounting!
**[20:59] ---**
No! I'll give you a hundred million! Let me go!
***SIGN*** "Minister Kiyoi Arrested" "Inspection of Funding Underway" "Akiba Ban Scrapped, Akiba Festival Restarting"
**[21:04] ---**

**[21:13] ---**
Hello, I am Santa Omokage,
specially appointed minister of Akiba.
**[21:17] ---**
I hereby declare the restart
of the Akiba Festival!
**[21:20] ---**
"Great Akiba Festival Restarting"
**[22:17] ---**
So we still can't get out of Akiba.
**[22:19] ---**
I guess even with Grandma gone,
the barrier is still intact.
**[22:23] ---**
It's okay, I guess.
**[22:25] ---**
This town is full of fun stuff!
**[22:30] ---**
Right.
**[22:36] ---**
I'm okay, too... since you're here with me.
**[22:49] ---**
What's going on?!
**[22:52] ---**
What is that...?
**[22:53] ---**
A Bugged One?!
**[22:56] ---**
--Niwaka?!
--Arisa?
**[22:57] ---**
Why are you dressed so weirdly? A new show?
**[23:01] ---**
Big Bro, come! Hurry!
**[23:02] ---**
Huh?
**[23:03] ---**
You too, Ma!
**[23:04] ---**
Huh?!
**[23:05] ---**
Just wait a sec. What's going on?
**[23:07] ---**
What's going on is future Akiba
100 years later is in trouble!
**[23:10] ---**
One hundred years later?
**[23:12] ---**
Yes! It's all your fault, Tamotsu and Ma!
**[23:15] ---**
What are you talking about?!
**[23:17] ---**
Enough talk! Get in!
**[23:18] ---**
Can you explain just a little bit?!
**[23:23] ---**
To the Akiba Empire, 100 years in the future!
**[23:25] ---**
Let's go!
