**[00:02] Yukiatsu**
Guess you aren't the only one.
**[00:05] Jinta**
Huh? What do you mean?
**[00:08] Yukiatsu**
The only one who can see Menma...
**[00:12] Poppo**
Let's go, Jintan!
**[00:16] Poppo**
Hey!
**[00:34] [SONG] ---**
nanpehji mo tsuiyashite
tsuzurareta bokura no kibun
**[00:34] ---**
All our feelings that we've written
lie across so many pages.
**[00:41] [SONG] ---**
doushiteka ichigyou no
kuuhaku wo umerarenai
**[00:41] ---**
Still, for some reason that's lost to me,
there's an empty line that I can't fill in.
**[00:48] [SONG] ---**
oshibana no shiori hasande
kimi to korogasu tsukaisute no jitensha
**[00:48] ---**
I mark it with a pressed flower bookmark,
and ride on a throwaway bicycle with you.
**[00:57] [SONG] ---**
wasurekake no renga wo
tsumiageta basho ni yukou
**[00:57] ---**
Let's go to the place we know, with all those
bricks, nearly forgot, stacked so high.
**[01:05] [SONG] ---**
umi wo miwatasu saka wo kakenobotte
**[01:05] ---**
And then we can climb the
hill that overlooks the sea.
**[01:10] [SONG] ---**
kowaikurai ni aoi sora to
**[01:10] ---**
Under a sky so blue it's almost scary,
**[01:14] [SONG] ---**
migite ni saidaa hidarite wa
zutto kimi wo sagashiteiru
**[01:14] ---**
my right hand holds cider, my left
hand extends, searching for you.
**[01:22] [SONG] ---**
souyatte ima wa boku no hou e
toitsumeru koto mo nakute
**[01:22] ---**
Just like that, the now that lives all around
us never comes to me asking questions.
**[01:29] [SONG] ---**
mada futari wa sugusoko ni irunoni
**[01:29] ---**
The two of us are standing
right here, still together.
**[01:36] [SONG] ---**
douka mata aemasuyouni nante
**[01:36] ---**
But then, to say, "I hope we meet again..."
**[01:44] [SONG] ---**
douka shiteru mitai
**[01:44] ---**
Something must be wrong with me.
**[01:58] Poppo**
Heeey!
**[01:59] Menma**
Heeeeey!
**[02:01] Poppo**
Heeey! Hey, Menma!
**[02:06] Menma**
Where aaare youuu?
**[02:08] Poppo**
Say something! Hey, say something!
**[02:12] Anaru**
Yadomi? What's wrong?
**[02:17] Menma**
Heeeeey!
**[02:19] Menma**
Jintan?
**[02:21] Jinta**
We don't need more than one Menma...
**[02:23] Anaru**
Huh? Hey, hold on—
**[02:28] Anaru**
H-Hey, listen!
**[02:31] Anaru**
Um...so, you tried to come to
school the other day, right?
**[02:39] Anaru**
Y'know, those girls didn't mean any harm...
**[02:43] Anaru**
So why don't you come one mo—
**[02:44] Jinta**
It didn't bother me.
**[02:46] Anaru**
R-Really?
**[02:48] Jinta**
Yup. You and...and those friends of
yours can say whatever you want.
**[02:53] Jinta**
It won't have the slightest effect on my life.
**[02:56] Anaru**
What the heck!? *So* not cute!
**[02:59] Jinta**
I don't want to be "cute." I'm not my dad.
**[03:03] Anaru**
Yadomi, hold on—
**[03:12] Anaru**
Th-Thanks...
**[03:15] Anaru**
- Sor—
- Wake up.
**[03:17] Jinta**
Are you a total idiot...?
**[03:26] Anaru**
Yadomi...
**[03:28] Jinta**
This—this stupid...
**[03:31] Jinta**
You...just like Menma...
**[03:35] Anaru**
Hey...
**[03:36] Anaru**
Menma...she just appeared to you, right?
**[03:41] Anaru**
You...really did like Menma, huh?
**[03:45] Jinta**
Wh-Why are you—
**[03:47] Anaru**
You...you like her so much that...
**[03:51] Anaru**
You started seeing things that
weren't really there...right?
**[03:56] Jinta**
You—didn't you *just* say
how you could believe...?
**[04:00] Anaru**
I can't say for sure, but...
**[04:04] Anaru**
If you really can see Menma,
make sure you're nice to her.
**[04:08] Anaru**
I won't pretend to
understand, but...please...
**[04:12] Poppo**
Hey, Jintan! Did you find her over there?
**[04:16] Anaru**
- We should get going.
- S-Sure...
**[04:21] Poppo**
This sucks. No sign of her at all...
**[04:24] Menma**
Jeez, how boring! I wanted
to see Menma, too...
**[04:32] Yukiatsu**
Welcome back. Food's ready.
**[04:34] Poppo**
Yukiatsu! What are you doing just
chilling out here by yourself!?
**[04:38] Menma**
The food looks so yummy!
**[04:39] Yukiatsu**
Menma asked me to.
**[04:43] Yukiatsu**
When Menma appeared before
me, she gave me a message.
**[04:47] Yukiatsu**
She said not to fuss over her anymore.
**[04:50] Poppo**
What? Menma said that...?
**[04:52] Yukiatsu**
I admit, I couldn't hear her clearly...
**[04:55] Yukiatsu**
But I think she's annoyed that you're
making such a big deal out of her "wish."
**[05:01] Menma**
That's not true at all! I...
**[05:05] Menma**
I'm so happy that you all got together
again and you're thinking about me!
**[05:11] Menma**
This is all making me really, really happy!
**[05:15] Menma**
Even though I died...I still want
everyone to stay friends!
**[05:21] Menma**
So I...I...
**[05:24] Poppo**
Well...if that's what Menma really wants...
Maybe it's best if we lay off.
**[05:29] Anaru**
Yeah...maybe...
**[05:34] Menma**
It's not...
**[05:39] Jinta**
O-Oh, hey! Everyone, look!
**[05:44] Tsuruko**
Steamed bread?
**[05:45] Poppo**
Whoa! Now that takes me back...
**[05:48] Poppo**
Your mom used to make this
for us all the time!
**[05:51] ANaru**
Oh yeah, I remember that!
**[05:53] Jinta**
These are...
**[05:56] Jinta**
Menma made them.
**[05:58] Poppo**
Ohh...so...
**[06:02] Menma**
Jintan?
**[06:06] Yukiatsu**
What, so a ghost made us some bread?
**[06:09] Yukiatsu**
I think you've taken this whole thing a little
too far. Wouldn't you say, Hisakawa?
**[06:15] Poppo**
Huh? Oh, well...I'd say it's pretty unique.
**[06:20] Menma**
Jintan...
**[06:21] Jinta**
I don't care if you all think I'm
weird or crazy or whatever.
**[06:26] Jinta**
Menma says...that she's happy
we all got together like this.
**[06:31] Jinta**
That she doesn't want us
to forget about her!
**[06:37] Menma**
Jintan...
**[06:39] Yukiatsu**
That's enough.
**[06:41] Yukiatsu**
You just can't forget her, can you? You're
trapped in those memories of Menma.
**[06:47] Yukiatsu**
You're pitiful.
**[06:49] Yukiatsu**
Man, talk about a buzzkill. You guys
enjoy the rest of the food.
**[06:54] Poppo**
Hey, Yukiatsu!
**[06:58] Jinta**
Sorry...
**[07:00] Jinta**
I'm gonna take off, too.
**[07:02] Jinta**
Enjoy the steamed bread, everyone.
**[07:04] Poppo**
- Everyone—hey!
- Yadomi...
**[07:08] Poppo**
Well...
**[07:12] Poppo**
This has certainly turned
into a juicy situation.
**[07:15] Tsuruko**
Hey...
**[07:17] Tsuruko**
What did the Menma that you
saw look like, Hisakawa?
**[07:20] Poppo**
Huh? Well, she was wearing
a white dress, and...
**[07:24] Tsuruko**
Did it have a small ribbon,
right around here?
**[07:28] Poppo**
I'm not totally sure, but
thinking about it...huh?
**[07:34] Poppo**
How'd you know? Oh!
Did you see her, too!?
**[07:37] Tsuruko**
Could be.
**[07:39] Poppo**
You're such a mysterious girl, Tsuruko...
**[07:58] Menma**
H-Hey Jintan...I wonder what the
Menma that Yukiatsu saw is like...
**[08:05] Menma**
I-If I'm Menmario, then that would
make her Menluigi, right?
**[08:09] Menma**
Wouldn't it be funny if she
had second-player colors?
**[08:12] Jinta**
Sure would...
**[08:33] Jinta**
Friggin' Yukiatsu...I just don't get him.
**[08:36] Jinta**
Menma said not to fuss over her?
Man, screw that delusional—
**[08:42] Jinta**
Okay, well, I guess *I'm* the
really delusional one here...
**[08:52] Jinta**
*But still...I couldn't let him...*
**[08:57] Jinta**
*I couldn't let him distort
Menma's feelings like that.*
**[09:01] Jinta**
*I...*
**[09:03] Anaru**
You...really did like Menma, huh?
**[09:10] Jinta**
Shut up.
**[09:14] Menma**
Jinta-kun!
**[09:16] Menma**
We heard there was a very good boy here
named Jinta-kun and came to see him!
**[09:21] Menma**
Uh-oh! Our good-boy radar
found something!
**[09:25] Jinta**
Hey, Menma...
**[09:27] Menma**
There's no Menma here! Just a
stuffed lion and a kokeshi spirit!
**[09:32] Menma**
Ahh, just kidding! The correct
answer was...me! Menma!
**[09:37] Jinta**
Correct answer...?
**[09:44] Jinta**
You really haven't changed.
**[09:47] Jinta**
Nothing!
**[09:49] Menma**
Jintan! Knock it off...!
**[09:56] Anaru**
Hey, Jintan...umm... Do you...like...Menma?
**[10:04] Jinta**
Hey, Menma...
**[10:09] Jinta**
Never mind. Time for bed!
**[10:13] Jinta**
Lights are goin' off!
**[10:14] Menma**
Okay!
**[10:34] Jinta**
*So...back then...*
**[10:39] Jinta**
*What did you...really think of me?*
**[10:48] Jinta**
This is stupid.
**[10:59] Tsuruko**
A dress with a ribbon on the chest...
***SIGN*** Episode 4: A White Dress, A Blue Ribbon
**[11:13] Atsushi**
I have to get going now, Toko-san...
**[11:18] Atsushi**
Hey Jinta-kun, a bill collector
should be coming by today.
**[11:21] Atsushi**
The money's in the top drawer of my
dresser. Could you give it to him?
**[11:25] Jinta**
- Sure.
- Have a nice day!
**[11:27] Jinta**
Have a nice—
**[11:32] Atsushi**
Okay, see ya later!
**[11:36] Jinta**
What?
**[11:39] TV**
This Indian summer shows
no signs of slowing...
**[11:41] Menma**
Whoa! This guy's head is
really funny-looking!
**[11:45] Jinta**
*You know...*
**[11:46] Jinta**
*I haven't gone to school since that day...*
**[11:48] Jinta**
*But she's completely stopped
pestering me about it.*
**[11:54] Menma**
- Visitors?
- The bill guy?
**[11:56] Jinta**
Yeah, I'm—
**[11:58] Jinta**
- Tsu-Tsuruko!
- Morning.
**[12:01] Jinta**
Why aren't you at school?
**[12:03] Tsuruko**
Oh, we're getting ready
for the culture festival.
**[12:06] Tsuruko**
Our class is doing an a capella karaoke café.
**[12:09] Tsuruko**
- Isn't that silly?
- Huh...
**[12:12] Tsuruko**
- Can I come in?
- Oh, sure.
**[12:14] Tsuruko**
- Thank you.
- Hey, so why are...?
**[12:18] Tsuruko**
Nothing's changed here, I see.
Exactly how I remember it...
**[12:22] Tsuruko**
Hey, so why does your house have
a kotatsu with this wood flooring?
**[12:26] Jinta**
- How should I know?
- Jintan, snacks!
**[12:28] Menma**
You have to serve your guests snacks!
**[12:34] Jinta**
So all I have is Country Ma'am cookies...
**[12:38] Tsuruko**
That steamed bread...
**[12:40] Tsuruko**
It wasn't as soft as what your
mother used to make.
**[12:45] Menma**
Oh, really?
**[12:47] Tsuruko**
I think the flour needed more sifting.
**[12:50] Tsuruko**
And baking powder would have
helped it fluff up a lot better.
**[12:53] Menma**
Wow! So it wasn't the missing raisins
that made it turn out bad!
**[12:58] Jinta**
You know how to cook?
**[13:00] Tsuruko**
Anyone can cook as long as
there's a recipe to follow.
**[13:05] Menma**
Not me!
**[13:07] Tsuruko**
And as long as your amount and
time measurements are correct.
**[13:10] Tsuruko**
In other words, as long as you don't
get caught in a weird position.
**[13:17] Jinta**
So what are you doing here? I'm getting
a bad feeling about this visit...
**[13:22] Menma**
Hey, Jintan!
**[13:23] Tsuruko**
Let me just say, I still can't accept that
Menma made that steamed bread.
**[13:32] Jinta**
Well yeah, of course. What
normal person would—
**[13:36] Tsuruko**
But that's also exactly why I have
to ask you to do a favor for me.
**[13:47] Aki**
And then guess what he said!
**[13:49] Aki**
"You smell so good, but I bet your
armpits smell even better"!
**[13:54] Aki**
- What kind of pick-up line is that, right?
- That's so nasty!
**[13:57] Aki**
I was like, "What, you have
some kind of armpit fetish!?"
**[14:00] Aki**
- What's up?
- Naruko, what's wrong?
**[14:03] Anaru**
S-Sorry... I just remembered something!
**[14:06] Haruna**
Jeez...is it just me, or has
Naruko been super flaky lately?
**[14:10] Aki**
I know, right? It's really
getting on my nerves.
**[14:18] Anaru**
That's Yadomi, right?
**[14:23] Tsuruko**
What, you can't tell by
that frizzy mop of his?
**[14:28] Anaru**
So what are you doing here—?
**[14:30] Tsuruko**
Official Super Peace Busters business.
**[14:33] Tsuruko**
We're going to bust apart this fake peace.
**[14:37] Menma**
Hey, Jintan...are you really
gonna do this? How come?
**[14:44] Jinta**
Honestly, I have no idea. But—
**[14:53] Jinta**
H-Hey...
**[14:56] Jinta**
Hey, hold on!
**[15:01] Jinta**
Listen—
**[15:02] Yukiatsu**
The second trimester's started. Should you
really be wandering around like this?
**[15:09] Jinta**
Menma keeps bugging
me not to stay indoors.
**[15:15] Jinta**
So, Yukiatsu...what'd the
Menma you saw look like?
**[15:25] Jinta**
My Menma said—
**[15:28] Jinta**
Er, no—I mean, the Menma at my place said
that the Menma you saw was a fake.
**[15:38] Jinta**
We're all heading to the
secret base right now.
**[15:41] Jinta**
Why don't you go get your
Menma and come with...us?
**[15:46] Yukiatsu**
Who do you think you are?
**[15:50] Yukiatsu**
You're not our "leader" anymore, okay?
**[15:53] Yukiatsu**
Not that I accepted you as *my*
leader back then, anyway.
**[16:00] Yukiatsu**
Don't talk to me like you know
me, you loser chicken.
**[16:11] Anaru**
Wh-What was that about...?
**[16:13] Tsuruko**
Well done, Yadomi-kun.
**[16:26] Yukiatsu**
Dammit...
**[16:28] Yukiatsu**
Menma...time to come out.
**[16:32] Yukiatsu**
It's time...for him to see.
**[16:36] Yukiatsu**
Let's show him.
**[16:43] Tsuruko**
You didn't have to come too, you know.
**[16:45] Anaru**
I-I was just bored!
**[16:47] Anaru**
Who cares, anyway?
**[16:50] Anaru**
Want some? I've been itching all
over ever since the barbecue.
**[16:54] Tsuruko**
I'm fine. Maybe if you showed less skin...
**[16:57] Menma**
- Jintan...you're not a loser chicken.
- My skin's just fine!
**[16:59] Menma**
- You're a winner chicken.
- It's cute!
**[17:01] Jinta**
Either way, I'm still a chicken.
**[17:04] Menma**
You know, the Menma that Yukiatsu saw...
**[17:06] Menma**
It might not be a fake.
**[17:08] Menma**
It wouldn't be *that* weird for there
to be another me, would it?
**[17:14] Menma**
I mean, I don't even know what *I'm*
doing here, or how I got here...
**[17:25] Poppo**
Huh? What're you guys doing
here? Is it party night?
**[17:30] Anaru**
C'mon, kill the lights already!
You're blinding us!
**[17:32] Poppo**
Oh! Sorry, sorry...
**[17:36] Poppo**
Mmm, delish! So much better
than coffee from a can!
**[17:42] Poppo**
Fantastique!
**[17:43] Tsuruko**
My parents bought a new one at the bazaar.
**[17:46] Tsuruko**
This one's pretty old, but it's
all yours if you want it.
**[17:49] Poppo**
Man, you're just the greatest!
**[17:52] Anaru**
Oh yeah?
**[17:53] Poppo**
And not only that, but you brought cups!
**[17:56] Menma**
I like being here with everyone so much...
**[18:01] Menma**
It's so much fun spending
time with everyone.
**[18:05] Menma**
But... But...
**[18:09] Poppo**
- Men—
- I know! Let's let Menma have a taste, too.
**[18:13] Poppo**
Whaddya say, Jintan? Is Menma here?
**[18:16] Poppo**
Maybe here? Or over there? Please!
**[18:19] Anaru**
What are you doing?
**[18:20] Jinta**
Hey, Poppo...
**[18:21] Poppo**
You know, after the barbecue,
I started thinking...
**[18:25] Poppo**
She said she'd be happy if
everyone got together, right?
**[18:31] Poppo**
And I was just like, "That is so totally
something Menma would say!"
**[18:38] Jinta**
Poppo...
**[18:39] Poppo**
She doesn't want to be forgotten?
There's no way we could ever forget her!
**[18:43] Poppo**
Menma just worries sooo much!
**[18:49] Menma**
- Poppo!
- Wh-What's happening?
**[18:50] Anaru**
- I love you!
- What's wrong?
**[18:52] Poppo**
Just lost my balance...
**[18:55] Poppo**
Now I'm getting goose bumps...!
**[18:57] Poppo**
I must've drank too much coffee...
Time to release the pee!
**[19:00] Menma**
- Ah, Men—
- Me too! I'm gonna go pee with you!
**[19:03] Tsuruko**
You could never forget Menma...
**[19:06] Tsuruko**
You're trapped in those memories
of Menma. You're pitiful.
**[19:12] Anaru**
Lay off, Tsuruko!
**[19:14] Tsuruko**
Everything Yukiatsu said...
He was saying it about himself.
**[19:24] Anaru**
- Wh-What is this!? Oh, curtains!
- What's your deal?
**[19:26] Popppo**
- Your fly's completely open.
- Who cares about that!? I just saw her!
**[19:30] Poppo&Menma**
Menma!
**[19:37] Poppo**
Over here! C'mon, hurry up!
**[19:41] Jinta**
Hey, are you sure you saw her?
**[19:44] Poppo**
I'm sure! I made totally sure.
You remember what Tsuruko said?
**[19:50] Poppo**
She had a dress, right? And it had
a ribbon right around here!
**[19:57] Jinta**
A dress with a ribbon...
**[20:00] Poppo**
Hey, let's go already!
**[20:02] Menma**
Oh! Jintan, over there!
**[20:08] Anaru**
Whoa! That's—!
**[20:10] Poppo**
It's her! It's Menma!
**[20:12] Tsuruko**
It's...
**[20:14] Menma**
Jintan!
**[20:15] Poppo**
Hey, Jintan! Don't go off by yourself!
**[20:24] Poppo**
Hey! Menma! Heeey!
**[20:31] Anaru**
I...I have to stop...
**[20:35] Poppo**
Are you okay?
**[20:36] Anaru**
Just...let me rest.
**[20:38] Popppo**
Jintan, see her!?
**[20:39] Jinta**
She was here just a second ago...
**[20:45] Poppo**
It's no use...let's head back.
**[20:47] Tsuruko**
Oh come on!
**[20:48] Tsuruko**
You're way too big, you know!
Go ahead, shave your legs!
**[20:52] Tsuruko**
It's still completely obvious!
**[20:55] Tsuruko**
Yukiatsu!
**[20:58] Menma**
Jintan!
**[21:00] Jinta**
Over there!
**[21:03] Jinta**
Let's go!
**[21:04] Anaru**
Ah! H-Hey, wait!
**[21:23] Poppo**
Jintan!
**[21:26] Poppo**
You find—?
**[21:27] Jinta**
Um...yeah.
**[21:35] Jinta**
Yukiatsu...
**[21:43] [SONG] ---**
aah hanabi ga yozora
kirei ni saite chotto setsunaku
**[21:43] ---**
Ahh, fireworks bloom in the sky, they grow
lovely and full, and yet a bit sad.
**[21:50] [SONG] ---**
aah kaze ga jikan to tomo ni nagareru
**[21:50] ---**
Ahh, just like a summer breeze,
our time is passing by.
**[21:56] [SONG] ---**
ureshikutte tanoshikutte
bouken mo iroiro shitane
**[21:56] ---**
You gave me happiness, and excitement too.
We went on many, many adventures...
**[22:04] [SONG] ---**
futari no himitsu no kichi no naka
**[22:04] ---**
In the secret base that belonged
just to you and me.
**[22:11] [SONG] ---**
kimi to natsu no owari shourai no yume
**[22:11] ---**
And I will not forget the summer
days we spent together,
**[22:15] [SONG] ---**
ohkina kibou wasurenai
**[22:15] ---**
sharing all the dreams
and hopes in our lives.
**[22:18] [SONG] ---**
juunengo no hachigatsu mata
deaeruno wo shinjite
**[22:18] ---**
And in another August ten years from now,
I trust I'll get to see you one more time.
**[22:25] [SONG] ---**
kimi ga saigomade kokoro kara
**[22:25] ---**
And till the very, very end
I was sure, I knew
**[22:28] [SONG] ---**
arigatou sakendetakoto shittetayo
**[22:28] ---**
that you were crying out "thank you"
from the bottom of your heart.
**[22:32] [SONG] ---**
namida wo koraete egao
de sayonara setsunai yone
**[22:32] ---**
So now we're smiling and holding back tears;
it's just too sad to have to say goodbye.
**[22:39] [SONG] ---**
saikou no omoide wo
**[22:39] ---**
To our memories...our fondest memories.
