[00:05] Poppo
    Hey!
[00:06] Poppo
    Over here! Sorry for calling
    you guys up out of the blue.
[00:12] Anaru
    I can't believe Menma's dad
    is against what we're doing...
[00:15] Poppo
    That's why we gotta attack now!
[00:17] Poppo
    We can talk to her mom
    while her dad's not around!
[00:20] Poppo
    I'm sure Menma's mom
    will want to help us out.
[00:23] Anaru
    For sure.
[00:25] Anaru
    She let us borrow Menma's diary.
    So I'm sure she'll help.
[00:30] Jinta
    Menma... If she finds out we went
    over to her house again...

[00:36] Jinta
    she'll be furious.
[00:45] [SONG] ---
    nanpehji mo tsuiyashite
    tsuzurareta bokura no kibun
[00:45] ---
    All our feelings that we've written
    lie across so many pages.
[00:52] [SONG] ---
    doushiteka ichigyou no
    kuuhaku wo umerarenai
[00:52] ---
    Still, for some reason that's lost to me,
    there's an empty line that I can't fill in.
[00:59] [SONG] ---
    oshibana no shiori hasande
    kimi to korogasu tsukaisute no jitensha
[00:59] ---
    I mark it with a pressed flower bookmark,
    and ride on a throwaway bicycle with you.
[01:08] [SONG] ---
    wasurekake no renga wo
    tsumiageta basho ni yukou
[01:08] ---
    Let's go to the place we know, with all those
    bricks, nearly forgot, stacked so high.
[01:16] [SONG] ---
    umi wo miwatasu saka wo kakenobotte
[01:16] ---
    And then we can climb the
    hill that overlooks the sea.
[01:21] [SONG] ---
    kowaikurai ni aoi sora to
[01:21] ---
    Under a sky so blue it's almost scary,
[01:25] [SONG] ---
    migite ni saidaa hidarite wa
    zutto kimi wo sagashiteiru
[01:25] ---
    my right hand holds cider, my left
    hand extends, searching for you.
[01:33] [SONG] ---
    souyatte ima wa boku no hou e
    toitsumeru koto mo nakute
[01:33] ---
    Just like that, the now that lives all around
    us never comes to me asking questions.
[01:40] [SONG] ---
    mada futari wa sugusoko ni irunoni
[01:40] ---
    The two of us are standing
    right here, still together.
[01:48] [SONG] ---
    douka mata aemasuyouni nante
[01:48] ---
    But then, to say, "I hope we meet again..."
[01:55] [SONG] ---
    douka shiteru mitai
[01:55] ---
    Something must be wrong with me.
[02:09] MenmaMom
    Hello—
[02:10] MenmaMom
    Oh, you brought Atsumu-kun and
    Chiriko-chan along with you? How nice!
[02:16] MenmaMom
    Come on in.
[02:18] Anaru
    Th-Thank you.
[02:19] Poppo
    So far so good...!
[02:21] Jinta
    Yeah.
[02:23] MenmaMom
    So...a rocket, was it?
[02:27] Jinta
    Um, yeah. See, we...
[02:29] MenmaMom
    I was so surprised when her
    father told me about it.
[02:32] MenmaMom
    But I think it's just wonderful
    you're all together again.
[02:37] MenmaMom
    It sounds like such a fun idea. Just like
    when all of you were younger...
[02:41] Poppo
    Yeah, true! When we were kids, we all
    talked about making fireworks with Menma.
[02:48] MenmaMom
    I see. Meiko was...
[02:50] Jinta
    Umm...we just thought if we could do this,
    it would make Men—I mean, Meiko-san...
[02:56] Jinta
    It would make her really happy.
    Which is why we asked—
[02:59] MenmaMom
    You all are very close then, aren't you?
[03:03] Jinta
    Huh? Well, to be honest...
[03:06] MenmaMom
    Meiko must be very jealous.
[03:11] MenmaMom
    She's been left out...
[03:14] MenmaMom
    You talk about how it's
    going to make her happy...
[03:18] MenmaMom
    But you're just using my daughter as
    an excuse to have fun for yourselves.
[03:23] Anaru
    Um, Mrs.—
[03:24] Poppo
    No, we're just—
[03:25] MenmaMom
    Meiko...my daughter's not here anymore.
    But here you are, exactly the same as before.
[03:35] Jinta
    L-Listen—
[03:37] MenmaMom
    Why...?
[03:39] MenmaMom
    You were all playing with her on
    the day it happened, right?
[03:45] Yukiatsu
    - Tsurumi!
    - You read her diary, didn't you?
[03:48] MenmaMom
    Her time is frozen!
[03:50] MenmaMom
    Only her! She's still stuck
    in that moment, but—
[03:55] MenmaMom
    You've all had the chance to grow up!
[03:59] MenmaMom
    Why Meiko? Why only her...?
[04:04] Menma
    Only her...
[04:08] Satoshi
    I'm home—
[04:11] Satoshi
    What's going on?
[04:13] Yukiatsu
    We should get going.
[04:16] Tsuruko
    Y-Yeah...
[04:20] Anaru
    Tsurumi-san...is your wrist okay?
[04:23] Tsuruko
    It's fine.
[04:24] Poppo
    Jeez. Menma's mom was really scary...
[04:27] Tsuruko
    You're right. I wonder if
    she hated us all along.
[04:34] Anaru
    I think that's the most anyone's
    ever hated me in my entire life.
[04:39] Jinta
    She's just a parent.
[04:41] Anaru
    Yeah. True.
[04:44] Yukiatsu
    We need to stop.
[04:46] Yukiatsu
    We need give up on this stupid
    "Menma's wish" thing.
[04:50] Jinta
    H-Hold on. If we stop now,
    what will happen to Men—
[04:52] Yukiatsu
    Don't you get it!?
[04:55] Yukiatsu
    We've just been going along with you
    because we all felt sorry for you.
[04:59] Tsuruko
    Yukiatsu!
[05:00] Yukiatsu
    I did something stupid too,
    so I'm not much better.
[05:05] Yukiatsu
    But not once did I force my
    wounds onto anyone else.
[05:11] Jinta
    My...wounds?
[05:13] Yukiatsu
    That's right. You're trapped in the past,
[05:17] Yukiatsu
    and you've wounded Menma's parents
    and everyone else because of it.
[05:22] Anaru
    He was probably talking
    about himself, right?
[05:27] Anaru
    Wounding people...
[05:29] Anaru
    Yukiatsu...
[05:32] Poppo
    I-I still believe you, Jintan!
    I believe Menma's with you!
[05:38] Anaru
    - Jintan—
    - It's okay.
[05:40] Jinta
    I'll handle it by myself.
[05:42] Poppo
    Jintan!
[05:43] Anaru
    But you said we needed every—
[05:45] Jinta
    You know...
[05:47] Jinta
    I always thought everyone had changed.
[05:50] Jinta
    But once I got to know you all again,
[05:53] Jinta
    you hadn't changed one bit. I was surprised.
[05:56] Jinta
    But even though nobody's really changed...
[06:00] Jinta
    "Everyone" just doesn't exist anymore.
[06:04] Jinta
    Even from the start it didn't exist.
[06:07] Jinta
    Because Menma was always missing.
[06:10] Poppo
    Jintan...
[06:11] Jinta
    So if "everyone" doesn't exist, what's the
    difference if I grant the wish by myself?
[06:17] Poppo
    Hold up, Jintan!
[06:19] Poppo
    I'm still gonna help you!
    Just like I have been! So—
[06:24] Menma
    Welcome home!
[06:27] Jinta
    Be careful! I'm trying to take my shoes off...
[06:35] Jinta
    I can do it...by myself.
[06:45] Jinta
    By myself...
[06:48] Anaru
    Really? You took even more shifts?
[06:51] Jinta
    Yup. Manual labor's good money.
[06:54] Anaru
    Listen, you don't look so great.
[06:56] Jinta
    Yeah, I haven't been sleeping...
[06:58] Anaru
    Wh—? Hey...
[07:00] Jinta
    For the longest time, all
    I did was sleep and eat.
[07:03] Jinta
    I have plenty saved up in my sleep bank.
[07:06] Anaru
    How...?
[07:09] Anaru
    How can you work so hard?
[07:13] Anaru
    Did Menma mean that much...?
[07:18] Anaru
    Hey! J-Jintan!
[07:25] Anaru
    Drink some water.
[07:28] Anaru
    And take these vitamins, too.
[07:35] Jinta
    I feel way better.
[07:37] Anaru
    Good.
[07:39] Anaru
    Jintan...
[07:41] Anaru
    Maybe it's time to stop.
[07:45] Anaru
    Jintan, listen...this whole
    situation has broken you.
[07:48] Anaru
    - This thing has to stop! Please!
    - What do you mean, "this thing"?
[07:53] Jinta
    Well anyway, I'm still on the clock.
[08:03] Anaru
    I don't want you to go!
[08:05] Anaru
    Don't go! I didn't want you
    to go then, either...
[08:11] Jinta
    Then...?
[08:13] Anaru
    I...I'm about to say something
    that'll make me look really awful.
[08:20] Anaru
    That day...I...I was actually really happy.
[08:25] Anaru
    The day you said...that
    you didn't like Menma.
[08:30] Anaru
    I know I'm horrible for saying
    it, but...it did make me happy.
[08:35] Anaru
    But then...
[08:43] Anaru
    The way you ran off like that...
[08:46] Anaru
    You may as well have just told
    everyone you loved her.
[08:52] Anaru
    I've lived with that pain ever since.
[08:55] Anaru
    I could never forgive myself for
    being happy at that moment.
[08:59] Anaru
    It hurt Menma...and then it happened.
[09:04] Anaru
    I...I couldn't forgive myself
    for liking you the way I did.
[09:12] Anaru
    But still...but...I...
[09:24] Anaru
    You're really gonna leave like this...?
[09:29] Anaru
    What's wrong with you!?
[09:33] Anaru
    If Menma's really at your place, isn't she just
    gonna disappear when you grant her wish!?
[09:41] Anaru
    So it's okay for her to disappear?
    Even though you love her!?
[09:49] Jinta
    Welcome!
[09:52] Anaru
    Jintan...you idiot!
[09:59] Anaru
    Naruko, you idiot...
[10:07] Jinta
    I'm home...
[10:12] Jinta
    Menma...were you waiting for me?
[10:27] Menma
    Your nails are all dirty!
[10:28] Menma
    I'll get a toothpick and clean 'em!
[10:30] Jinta
    Huh? I'm fine!
[10:31] Menma
    Let me clean them!
[10:34] Jinta
    I know... Once her wish
    is granted, Menma will...

[10:39] Jinta
    Ow!
[10:40] Menma
    Sorry! I'm almost done...
[10:47] Jinta
    But that...that's what Menma wants.
[10:54] Jinta
    In which case...I...
[11:01] Menma
    Jintan?
[11:05] Menma
    Are you okay? Did it hurt that bad!?
[11:07] Jinta
    N-No, I...
[11:11] Jinta
    I was just thinking about...
    A Dog of Flanders.
[11:17] Jintan
    About...Patrasche.
[11:19] Menma
    Patrasche?
[11:21] Jintan
    From the TV show. I caught
    a rerun of it a while ago...
[11:27] Jinta
    What the hell? God I suck at lying!
[11:31] Jinta
    But...
[11:32] Menma
    Jintan... Jintan!
[11:35] Menma
    I'm sure Patrasche was really, really happy!
[11:39] Jinta
    Yeah...
[11:41] Menma
    Because...because Nello was
    super duper nice to him!
[11:46] Menma
    They were best friends! So it's fine, see!?
[12:01] Touko
    Menma-chan...
SIGN    Episode 8: I wonder
[12:21] Jinta
    By losing Menma...
[12:25] Jinta
    Menma's mom grew to hate all of us.
[12:29] Jinta
    Anaru could never forgive herself.
[12:32] Jinta
    Yukiatsu, too. And probably
    Tsuruko. Even Poppo...

[12:38] Jinta
    Everyone's filled with guilt,
    with no hope of being saved.

[12:43] Jinta
    But I...I can see Menma.
[12:47] Jinta
    I'm the only one she's able to save. Why...?
[12:55] Jinta
    This is so unfair...
[12:58] Atsushi
    Good Mornin'!
[13:02] Jinta
    Crap, what time is it!? I have to
    get to wor—I mean, school!
[13:06] Atsushi
    Oh, you're going to school?
[13:08] Atsushi
    Today is Toko-san's...
[13:14] Jinta
    I'll go. Can you give me a sec?
[13:16] Atsushi
    Sure. I'll be downstairs.
[13:23] Jinta
    If I'm the only one who can see Menma...
[13:28] Jinta
    Then...it's my responsibility
    to grant her wish.

[13:38] Atsushi
    Darn thing's all rusted...!
[13:43] Atushi
    Oh, there we go!
[13:47] Atushi
    Good morning!
[13:53] Atsushi
    Shall we?
[13:57] Jinta
    Dad...
[14:05] Jinta
    When I stopped going to school,
    he never yelled at me. Not once.

[14:12] Jinta
    I thought he had just given up on me.
[14:17] Jinta
    But...
[14:20] Jinta
    But parents are...
[14:23] Jinta
    Hey, um...
[14:27] Jinta
    Sorry.
[14:28] Atsushi
    Huh? For what?
[14:31] Atsushi
    Oh, about your job? Don't worry about it!
[14:33] Jinta
    Huh? You knew about that!?
[14:35] Atsushi
    Oh! I-I was just kidding. I meant to say,
    about going over to the Honmas?
[14:39] Atsushi
    Okay, wait...which one
    are you talking about?
[14:41] Jinta
    You know about all of it, huh?
[14:44] Atsushi
    I don't know a thing...
[14:47] Atsushi
    I didn't have any idea what you
    wanted to apologize about, did I?
[14:55] Atsushi
    So, what is it?
[14:57] Jinta
    Huh? Oh, no, never mind.
[14:59] Atsushi
    Oh. Could you bring me those incense?
[15:01] Jinta
    Sure.
[15:05] Jinta
    I just can't compete with a parent.
[15:10] Menma
    Jintan took off without even
    telling me good morning...
[15:15] Menma
    Huh...? It's Poppo!
[15:18] Menma
    Hellooo!
[15:20] Poppo
    We can't let Jintan do everything just
    because of how Menma's mom was, can we?
[15:27] Poppo
    Just when I thought the Super Peace Busters
    were getting back to their old roots...
[15:32] Menma
    Are they breaking up again!?
[15:33] Menma
    - Poppo! How come!?
    - So I believe everything about Menma!
[15:37] Poppo
    Even if only Jintan can see her, and even
    if nobody else believes him, I—
[15:51] Yukiatsu
    What's up?
[15:54] Yukiatsu
    Huh? A silent call?
[15:56] Tsuruko
    Yeah. Hey, Yadomi's at
    work right now, right?
[16:00] Yukiatsu
    Yeah, I guess so.
[16:03] Tsuruko
    The number that showed up
    was his house phone...
[16:07] Yukiatsu
    Yadomi did that...?
[16:10] Tsuruko
    I thought I did hear some static, though.
[16:14] Tsuruko
    I don't want to sound like an idiot,
    but maybe it wasn't Yadomi...

[16:23] Tsuruko
    Yukiatsu?
[16:25] Boss
    Dammit...
[16:27] Boss
    I wish she would have at least called if
    she knew she wasn't gonna come in.
[16:33] Boss
    Have you heard anything from her?
[16:35] Jinta
    No, sorry.
[16:37] Boss
    Gotcha. Shoot...
[16:39] Boss
    I was supposed to hit up a muscle
    party with all my gym friends!
[16:44] Jinta
    I wonder how I should act around
    Anaru...next time I see her.

[16:50] Satoshi
    Umm...
[16:51] Jinta
    W-Welcom—
[16:56] Satoshi
    Sorry about what happened...
[16:58] Jinta
    Don't be. We're the ones
    that came barging in—
[17:02] Satoshi
    My parents are kinda weird.
[17:06] Satoshi
    The woman never even leaves the house.
[17:09] Satoshi
    She doesn't wanna see anyone.
[17:12] Satoshi
    I mean, I know it hurts that
    we lost my sister and all...
[17:16] Satoshi
    But she sorta creeps me out. I'm...kind of
    embarrassed that she's even my mom.
[17:23] Jinta
    I have no idea what goes
    through a parent's mind...
[17:28] Jinta
    But I think it must hit
    the parents the hardest.
[17:32] Jinta
    They're probably just... Well, I don't think
    I'm really qualified to have an opinion...
[17:42] Satoshi
    She still has one left, you know.
    She has another kid.
[17:47] Satoshi
    I was really young, so I barely even
    remember my older sister.
[17:53] Satoshi
    But...there are still a few
    things I remember about her.
[17:58] Menma
    I'm gonna get going!
[17:59] Satoshi
    Me too!
[18:02] Satoshi
    I'm going, too!
[18:04] Menma
    You can't go, Sa-kun.
[18:08] Satoshi
    I'm going!
[18:09] Menma
    Know what? I'm...a Super Peace Buster!
[18:16] Menma
    I'm going to go protect everyone's peace!
[18:19] Menma
    So you hafta stay home and protect
    the peace of the house! Okay?
[18:24] Satoshi
    Okay!
[18:26] Satoshi
    Protect the peace of the
    house... What a joke.
[18:30] Satoshi
    Man...screw that house.
[18:36] JInta
    Hey...
[18:53] Jinta
    A-Anjo...
[18:56] Poppo
    Oh! You decided to show up too, Jintan?
[18:58] Tsuruko
    Yadomi...
[19:00] Jinta
    Huh? What's everyone doing—
[19:01] Yukiatsu
    What were you doing today?
[19:04] Jinta
    What...? I was working.
[19:06] Yukiatsu
    So you weren't at home, calling all of us?
[19:10] Jinta
    Huh? Calling you?
[19:12] Tsuruko
    Around 5 o'clock today,
    I got a silent phone call.
[19:16] Jinta
    Silent...?
[19:17] Yukiatsu
    Are you gonna try to hide behind
    the whole "Menma" thing again?
[19:21] Jinta
    Menma...?
[19:22] Jinta
    But...I wasn't home then,
    and neither was my dad.
[19:26] Jinta
    Maybe it was Menma.
[19:29] Yukiatsu
    What the hell is wrong with you?
[19:31] Yukiatsu
    Menma this, Menma that...
[19:34] Anaru
    - Huh!?
    - Hey!
[19:37] Poppo
    H-Hold on!
[19:38] Tsuruko
    Yukiatsu!
[19:40] Yukiatsu
    If she's really here...why don't you let me
    see her, too? Menma is here, right?
[19:44] Yukiatsu
    THEN WHY DON'T YOU
    LET ME SEE HER, TOO!?
[19:47] Poppo
    That's enough, Yukiatsu!
[19:51] Anaru
    A-Are you okay?
[19:53] Tsuruko
    You need to calm down...
[19:54] Poppo
    Yeah, just chill out, okay?
[20:06] Jinta
    Menma...?
[20:08] Yukiatsu
    Are you still—!?
[20:10] Anaru
    Come on, let it go already!
[20:12] Tsuruko
    You're pitiful, Yadomi. Still playing
    that Menma game, even now!?
[20:16] Jinta
    No...!
[20:20] Menma
    Everyone...I'm sorry.
[20:23] Jinta
    Why...?
[20:24] Jinta
    Why are you apologizing?
[20:25] Yukiatsu
    Yadomi!
[20:27] Poppo
    Is she here, Jintan? Is Menma—
[20:28] Anaru
    You too!? Just stop!
[20:29] Tusuruko
    - Give me one second, okay Jintan?
    - Yukiatsu, relax!
[20:32] Jinta
    Ah, Men—
[20:40] Yukiatsu
    I'm begging you...I'm begging!
    Please, just stop it...
[20:49] Yukiatsu
    What we did to Menma...
    It can never be erased.
[20:54] Yukiatsu
    Menma can't be apologizing. It's a lie.
[20:57] Yukiatsu
    Menma... She could never forgive us. Never!
[21:01] Jinta
    Yukiatsu...
[21:05] Poppo
    Her diary...
[21:07] Anaru
    H-How...? There isn't any wind...
[21:09] Tsuruko
    Come on, don't...
[21:13] Poppo
    Seriously, though. How...?
[21:19] Anaru
    - What is it, Poppo?
    - Look...
[21:22] Anaru
    "Today I went and played with my friends at
    the secret base. They're all grown up now..."
[21:32] Anaru
    "Fighting is bad. The Super Peace
    Busters will be friends forever."
[21:42] Yukiatsu
    L-Let me see it!
[21:45] Yukiatsu
    This is...definitely Menma's handwriting.
[21:48] Tsuruko
    Are you sure?
[21:50] Menma
    Correct!
[21:52] Jinta
    Menma...why?
[21:54] Poppo
    H-Hey, Jintan...
[21:57] Poppo
    Is it...is it really Menma?
[22:01] Jinta
    Y...yeah.

    In the secret base that belonged
    just to you and me.

    And in another August ten years from now,
    I trust I'll get to see you one more time.
[22:28] ---
    And till the very, very end
    I was sure, I knew

    from the bottom of your heart.

    So now we're smiling and holding back tears;
    it's just too sad to have to say goodbye.
[22:42] [SONG] ---

[22:42] ---
    To our memories...our fondest memories.
