    "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] ---

[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

    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!

    "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!

    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...

    "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

[06:02] ---
    join tomorrow's tournament for the
    super popular fighting game Street Fighter V,

    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...
[23:34] ---
    Akiba's Trip The Animation! Next
    episode: "Your Memory Is Full"
[23:35] ---
    "TRIP 6 - Your Memory Is Full"

    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] ---
    In order to protect private
    information and delete porn,
[18:23] ---
    this machine will now enter
    self-destruct mode.
[18:25] ---
    Anything within a five km radius
    will be blown to bits.
[18:30] ---
    "Self-destruct"
[18:33] ---
    "Begin countdown!"
[18:33] ---
    100, 99, 98, 97, 96...
[18:39] ---
    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...

[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.
SIGN    "Worker wanted!" "A warm and fun workplace. Feel like you're at home while working!"
[04:21] ---
    "Hourly rate: 1500 yen."
[04:22] ---

SIGN    "Resume" "Tamotsu Denkigai Birthday: October 10th, 1998 (18 years old)"
[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 leave are regretted"
[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.

    ...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.

    And the hearts on the name tag...

    "New Butler"
    "Tamotsu Denkigai"
[06:09] ---
    The hearts are like training marks.

    Everyone starts at one heart,
    to mark our thanks for joining us.

    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] ---
    "thank you thank you thank you thank you"
[16:07] ---
    What's this...?
[16:09] ---
    Oh... Whatever.
[16:12] ---
    Goal of the day!
[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!"
[23:40] ---
    From here on, it's eternally my turn!
[23:42] ---

[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"
[12:33] ---
    "Clamas TV"
[12:34] ---
    "Akihabara Food Fight"
[12:35] ---
    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...
[05:45] ---
    "TRIP 11 - The Midsummer
    Akiba Festival Begins!"
[05:48] ---
    Here we go.
[05:52] ---
    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.
SIGN    "I came to face a strong enemy!! Final Feint II Tournament!!" "Iketeru Masada of Battle Creatures fame joins Alpha TCG!!!"
SIGN    "Akiba Festival 2017" "AK1 Tournament begins!!" "Super Ultra Hyper Media Producer Chibusa Benikage produces!!"
[06:18] ---
    Everyone's putting a lot of effort into this.
[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...?
[07:42] ---
    Is everything okay--
[07:44] ---
    What?!
[07:47] ---
    "Akihabara Gachapon Kaikan"
[07:55] ---
    Oh, did the part-timer slack off again...?
[08:03] ---
    What's this?
[08:05] ---
    Who did this?
[08:11] ---
    Wh... What... What on earth is this?!
[08:15] ---
    "You're welcome for our patronage.
    Electric Mayonnaise and Friends."
[08:18] ---
    "Tora no Ana"
[08:25] ---
    "Stripping With You"
[08:26] ---
    I found it!
[08:27] ---
    It's the new book by famous
    fan fiction author Type Question!
[08:34] ---
    I'm so going to read this right now!
[08:42] ---
    I-It's all blank!
[08:44] ---
    "Electric Mayonnaise"
[08:47] ---
    Gonzo Transportation.
[08:49] ---
    Coming.
[08:50] ---
    Yes! The limited-edition
    Earphones figurine is finally here!
[08:56] ---
    It was so popular that
    the first shipping sold out instantly!
[08:59] ---
    "Electric Mayonnaise"
[08:59] ---
    Open!
[09:01] ---
    Wha... What?!
[09:06] ---
    "Idol Festa"
[09:06] ---
    Producer Tamotsu, I'm thirsty.
[09:09] ---
    Here you go.
[09:10] ---
    Producer Tamotsu, I need a massage.
[09:14] ---
    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--
[09:41] ---
    Tamotsu Denkigai!
[09:44] ---
    Matome Mayonaka!
[09:46] ---
    Arisa Ahokainen!
[09:50] ---
    You three are under arrest!
[09:53] ---
    What?!
[10:03] ---
    Order! Order!
[10:06] ---
    The special Akiba
    Vigilante Court presided by
[10:09] ---
    Chuo Dori Vigilantes is now
    in session, here in Akiba Guild.
[10:14] ---
    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.
[10:45] ---
    "Record of crimes by Electric Mayonnaise"
[10:46] ---
    Someone cut down the tree
    near the Showa Dori exit.
[10:51] ---
    This card was placed nearby...
SIGN    "Hey, train photo enthusiast friends, we cut this tree down for you. You should get a better shot now. You're welcome. Electric Mayonnaise and Friends."
[10:55] ---
    What?!
[10:56] ---
    Next! All of the capsule toys
    were stolen from this store!
[11:00] ---
    Empty capsules were left behind
[11:02] ---
    and another card was found at the scene.
[11:02] ---
    "You're welcome for our patronage.
    Electric Mayonnaise and Friends."
[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] ---

[11:40] ---
    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.
[11:52] ---
    I can't help you.

    This isn't like you.
[11:58] ---
    Good luck, guys. I'm counting on you.
[12:01] ---
    Wh-What...
[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] ---
    I got through...
[12:57] ---
    "Big Bro's Room"
[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.
[15:51] ---
    "Akiba Festival 2017"

    "The URL you specified could not be found."
[15:54] ---
    I can't connect to any
    Akiba-related web site.
[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
    is back in business!
[21:20] ---
    Don't forget me!
[21:22] ---
    --Niwaka!
    --I'm here, too.
[21:23] ---
    Professor?!
[21:24] ---
    Okay, once again...
[21:27] ---
    ...Electric Mayonnaise is back in business!
[21:29] ---
    Yay!
[21:34] ---
    Where...? Who?
[21:38] ---
    I didn't expect Urame to fail
    to get rid of Matome...
[21:41] ---
    Is that man the root of the problem?
[21:45] ---
    Akihabara is ours...
[21:48] ---
    None shall have it!
[21:52] ---
    "Next, final episode!!"

[22:13] ---
    Loud colors everywhere,
    and fans of all persuasions

    A town bewitched and blazing
    with dreams and desires: AKIBA!

    gulp down a beef bowl, with curry as a snack

    Are the Artliens all gone?

    I clench my fist and vow
[22:41] ---
    The one thing I dream of doing:
[22:42] ---
    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!

[00:32] ---

    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.

    First, on controller 1, input "up, up, down, down,
[03:07] ---
    hold right, and press A and B at the same time."

    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?!

[20:52] ---
    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!

    I hereby declare the restart
    of the Akiba Festival!

    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?!

    To the Akiba Empire, 100 years in the future!
