**[00:08] [SONG] ---**
nanpehji mo tsuiyashite
tsuzurareta bokura no kibun
**[00:08] ---**
All our feelings that we've written
lie across so many pages.
**[00:15] [SONG] ---**
doushiteka ichigyou no
kuuhaku wo umerarenai
**[00:15] ---**
Still, for some reason that's lost to me,
there's an empty line that I can't fill in.
**[00:22] [SONG] ---**
oshibana no shiori hasande
kimi to korogasu tsukaisute no jitensha
**[00:22] ---**
I mark it with a pressed flower bookmark,
and ride on a throwaway bicycle with you.
**[00:31] [SONG] ---**
wasurekake no renga wo
tsumiageta basho ni yukou
**[00:31] ---**
Let's go to the place we know, with all those
bricks, nearly forgot, stacked so high.
**[00:39] [SONG] ---**
umi wo miwatasu saka wo kakenobotte
**[00:39] ---**
And then we can climb the
hill that overlooks the sea.
**[00:44] [SONG] ---**
kowaikurai ni aoi sora to
**[00:44] ---**
Under a sky so blue it's almost scary,
**[00:48] [SONG] ---**
migite ni saidaa hidarite wa
zutto kimi wo sagashiteiru
**[00:48] ---**
my right hand holds cider, my left
hand extends, searching for you.
**[00:56] [SONG] ---**
souyatte ima wa boku no hou e
toitsumeru koto mo nakute
**[00:56] ---**
Just like that, the now that lives all around
us never comes to me asking questions.
**[01:03] [SONG] ---**
mada futari wa sugusoko ni irunoni
**[01:03] ---**
The two of us are standing
right here, still together.
**[01:11] [SONG] ---**
douka mata aemasuyouni nante
**[01:11] ---**
But then, to say, "I hope we meet again..."
**[01:18] [SONG] ---**
douka shiteru mitai
**[01:18] ---**
Something must be wrong with me.
**[01:40] Menma**
Hot! Hot hot hot!
**[01:43] Jinta**
Calm down, Menma!
**[01:50] Menma**
Thanks for waiting!
**[01:59] Menma**
Here you go. Enjoy!
**[02:03] Jinta**
She said enjoy...with a
smug look on her face.
**[02:07] Anaru**
S-Sorry. I just...got a chill.
**[02:10] Tsuruko**
Stop...you're creeping me out.
**[02:12] Menma**
Dig in! Oh, Poppo...since you're so big,
you get to have the biggest one!
**[02:17] Menma**
Here!
**[02:19] Jinta**
She said that since Poppo's the biggest...
**[02:23] Poppo**
That...that's right, Menma.
I...I got really big!
**[02:31] Poppo**
It's good... It's so good, Menma!
**[02:33] Menma**
I'm so glad!
**[02:34] Yukiatsu**
And me?
**[02:36] Yukiatsu**
What kind of "-est" do I get?
**[02:39] Jinta**
Umm, you get the one
with the most raisins...
**[02:43] Menma**
I didn't say that!
**[02:45] Yukiatsu**
Menma...I'd like you to tell me yourself.
**[02:50] Yukiatsu**
Tell me, Menma.
**[02:52] Tsuruko**
Yukiatsu...
**[02:55] Anaru**
I-I know! Paper...paper...pen!
**[02:58] Anaru**
Okay Menma, just write
what you're thinking!
**[03:02] Menma**
Okay, umm... Huh? Jintan,
I can't write anything.
**[03:07] Jinta**
How come? You wrote in
your diary just fine.
**[03:10] Jinta**
Let me see.
**[03:12] Jinta**
The heck? It's got plenty of ink...
**[03:15] Menma**
Again! Lemme try again!
**[03:17] Jinta**
J-Just hold on!
**[03:20] Anaru**
Tsu-Tsuruko, you're choking me—
**[03:22] ---**
Tsu-Tsuruko...
**[03:28] Poppo**
Ah, man...I'm friggin'
exhausted for some reason.
**[03:31] Tsuruko**
I know what you mean. I feel so...listless.
**[03:36] Poppo**
What's wrong?
**[03:37] Anaru**
Menma... She wasn't mad at
us. She's forgiven us...
**[03:44] Tsuruko**
How can you be so sure
that's really the case?
**[03:48] Anaru**
But if she was mad at us, she wouldn't
have made us steamed bread.
**[03:53] Tsuruko**
She may just have shown up to punish us...
Because she never actually forgave us.
**[04:00] Poppo**
W-Well, anyway! If she could write like that,
I wish she would've done it from the start!
**[04:07] Tsuruko**
True. If she'd done that, we could have
talked to her and believed in her way sooner.
**[04:13] Poppo**
Well, those two have always
been a little scatterbrained.
**[04:16] Yukiatsu**
Wrong.
**[04:18] Jinta**
He said to believe in Menma. But all he
wanted was to keep her all to himself.
**[04:24] Yukiatsu**
Hisakawa, Anjo—make sure you
save as much money as you can.
**[04:28] Poppo**
Y-Yeah...
**[04:29] Yukiatsu**
We're going to make that
rocket, no matter what.
**[04:32] Yukiatsu**
We are absolutely sending
Menma to heaven.
**[04:35] Tsuruko**
Yukiatsu...
**[04:44] Jinta**
You *would* be worn out, running
around all night like that...
**[04:50] Jinta**
We're trying to make fireworks for you...
**[04:53] Jinta**
So that you can...go to heaven.
**[05:02] Jinta**
Will that make you happy?
**[05:14] Jinta**
Y-You were awake—?
**[05:15] Menma**
Thanks, Jintan.
**[05:20] Menma**
Thank you.
**[05:27] Jinta**
*This is the right thing...*
**[05:40] Jinta**
*The...right thing...*
**[05:44] Jinta**
I'm begging you!
**[05:51] Poppo**
I guess it's impossible...
**[05:53] Menma**
Twirly twirly!
**[05:54] Jinta**
Menma, be careful! Stop running around!
**[05:57] Poppo**
Huh? Menma's running
around? Then I will, too!
**[06:01] Poppo**
Wait for me, Menma!
**[06:03] Anaru**
So weird...
**[06:09] Anaru**
I...I couldn't forgive myself
for liking you the way I did.
**[06:17] Anaru**
*I-I...*
**[06:19] Jinta**
Just...can't give up, huh?
**[06:26] Jinta**
I'm sorry!
**[06:28] Jinta**
Do you think you could cover
my shift next week?
**[06:32] Anaru**
Cover you...?
**[06:33] Jinta**
They're doing construction
on the bridge on Thursday,
**[06:36] Jinta**
and the pay for stuff like that is
a lot better, so I wanted to go...
**[06:39] Anaru**
Jintan!
**[06:41] Jinta**
Finally get bored?
**[06:42] Menma**
Hey, hey, guess what! Guess what I saw!
**[06:51] Yukiatsu**
Hello.
**[06:53] MenmaDad**
You two are...?
**[06:57] MenmaDad**
Ah, it must have been her—Meiko's mother.
She probably got in touch with Yama-san.
**[07:02] Tsuruko**
So it was Mrs. Honma...
**[07:04] Yukiatsu**
So...does that mean you're not
opposed to the fireworks yourself?
**[07:15] MenmaDad**
She's still living in the past.
**[07:19] MenmaDad**
Ever since Meiko passed away, her time
hasn't moved forward one second.
**[07:26] MenmaDad**
I'd like to bring her back to the present.
**[07:28] MenmaDad**
To do that, I don't want her seeing
anything that reminds her of Meiko.
**[07:38] Yukiatsu**
Please!
**[07:39] Tsuruko**
- Yukiatsu!?
- Matsuyuki-kun...
**[07:41] Yukiatsu**
This may sound presumptuous, but I think
I understand a little of what she's feeling.
**[07:45] Yukiatsu**
I-I loved your daughter...
I loved Meiko-san!
**[07:50] Yukiatsu**
I want to do something for her! I'm stuck
living in the past, too. That's why I...
**[08:07] Tsuruko**
I'm honestly surprised you would
embarrass yourself like that.
**[08:10] Yukiatsu**
I'm surprised myself.
**[08:12] Tsuruko**
You really haven't changed, Yukiatsu...
**[08:16] Tsuruko**
You'd do anything for Menma.
**[08:18] Yukiatsu**
Tsuruko?
**[08:21] Tsuruko**
Is it okay?
**[08:22] Tsuruko**
If you're convinced...are you really okay
with this? Are you okay with her leaving?
**[08:28] Tsuruko**
You were always so obsessed with Menma.
**[08:30] Tsuruko**
And now you can talk to her
through Yadomi! But you...
**[08:34] Yukiatsu**
Only through Yadomi...
**[08:37] Jinta**
Hey!
**[08:39] Menma**
Hey!
**[08:42] Jinta**
Yo. What's up?
**[08:43] Tsuruko**
Yadomi... Are you on your way to work?
**[08:46] Jinta**
Yup. I'm working late tonight, so I
figured I could walk Menma home.
**[08:52] Yukiatsu**
Menma... Is she there?
**[08:55] Jinta**
She was like, "I don't wanna be stuck inside."
She's been following me everywhere.
**[09:00] Menma**
That's right! I wanna help out, too!
**[09:04] Jinta**
Yeah, yeah. She wants to be with everyone...
**[09:10] Yukiatsu**
Menma...do you still have long hair?
**[09:14] Tsuruko**
Yukiatsu...
**[09:15] Jinta**
Huh? Oh, yeah. She's all
grown up, just like us.
**[09:22] Tsuruko**
Grown up...?
**[09:23] Menma**
Yup! I dunno why...
**[09:28] Yukiatsu**
Is she beautiful?
**[09:29] Jinta**
Wh-What kind of question is that!?
**[09:32] Jinta**
Wh-Who would like an ugly girl like—
**[09:40] Jinta**
I-I mean, sure...I guess she's b-beautiful.
Or more like cute, maybe?
**[09:46] Menma**
What!? What do you mean you guess!?
**[09:49] Jinta**
Sh-Shut up!
**[09:50] Menma**
Jintan, you big dumb jerk!
**[09:51] Jinta**
Shut up, stupid! You're decent at best!
**[09:58] Tsuruko**
I feel like I'm watching a one-man show.
**[10:03] Tsuruko**
But...I guess it can't be, right? Because—
**[10:10] Tsuruko**
Yukiatsu's snapped...
***SIGN*** Episode 9: Menma and the Rest
**[10:24] Jinta**
Really!?
**[10:25] OldDude**
Yeah, I'll do it.
**[10:27] PoppoMenma**
All right!
**[10:29] Menma**
Fireworks! Fireworks!
**[10:31] Poppo**
Booya booya booya!
**[10:34] OldDude**
I can't let you handle the gunpowder, but...
Wanna help with the simple stuff?
**[10:39] Poppo**
Yes!
**[10:40] Menma**
Jintan, we did it! Yaaay!
**[10:48] Jinta**
Thank you so much for everything, sir!
**[10:51] OldDUde**
Sure!
**[10:52] Menma**
Thank you!
**[10:57] Poppo**
There!
**[10:58] Jinta**
Dude, be careful!
**[11:00] Poppo**
My bad.
**[11:01] ANaru**
So this is gonna shoot out of
the bamboo pipe, right?
**[11:05] Tsuruko**
I think it'd be cuter if it had a lot of red.
**[11:09] Anaru**
Cuter? You keep finding new
ways to surprise me...
**[11:15] OldDude**
And then we light this part here...
**[11:18] Yukiatsu**
I see. What about over here?
**[11:20] OldDude**
Oh, that's for decoration. Plus, it makes
it easier to get it up the launch tower.
**[11:26] OldDude**
- Holy cow holy cow!
- And this part, too.
**[11:28] Menma**
Holy cooooow!
**[11:30] Menma**
Jintan, guess what—
**[11:32] Jinta**
Hey, Menma! Be careful!
**[11:35] Poppo**
Jeez! Don't let go, Jintan!
**[11:37] Yukiatsu**
Menma...
**[11:40] Menma**
All done, Poppo?
**[11:43] Jinta**
She just jumped on your back...
**[11:45] Poppo**
Seriously? Menma, give
me a break, would ya?
**[11:49] Menma**
Po-po-po-poooo, Poppo!
**[11:55] Anaru**
*Menma... I can't see her, but...I can.*
**[12:01] Anaru**
*I can see...*
**[12:04] Anaru**
*I can't beat her. I couldn't
then, and I can't now.*
**[12:14] Tsuruko**
What's wrong?
**[12:15] Anaru**
Ah! Oh, umm...I-I'm gonna
go get something to drink!
**[12:36] Yukiatsu**
Yo.
**[12:39] Yukiatsu**
Thanks for saving me...
**[12:42] Yukiatsu**
By running away. I was about
ready to scream myself.
**[12:46] Anaru**
Yukiatsu...
**[12:48] Yukiatsu**
Menma's right in front
of us. I can accept that.
**[12:52] Yukiatsu**
But we can't see her, or talk to her.
**[12:59] Yukiatsu**
I wanted a chance to see her one more
time. Why is Yadomi the only one...?
**[13:04] Anaru**
It has to be Yadomi.
**[13:07] Anaru**
And for Yadomi...it has to be Menma.
Nothing's any different from back then.
**[13:13] Yukiatsu**
So you've given up?
**[13:15] Yukiatsu**
You were calling him Jintan,
but now you're back to Yadomi.
**[13:20] Anaru**
What's with you!? You always talk like
you know everything about everyone!
**[13:24] Yukiatsu**
I only know about you. Call it sympathy
for someone in the same boat.
**[13:28] Anaru**
Don't lump me in with
someone as cruel as you!
**[13:32] Yukiatsu**
Hey, relax...
**[13:43] Yukiatsu**
Sorry...
**[13:52] Tsuruko**
Yukiatsu...?
**[13:54] Yukiatsu**
That was my fault.
**[14:07] Yukiatsu**
Remember what I said before?
I was serious about that.
**[14:12] Anaru**
Huh? Before?
**[14:15] Yukiatsu**
About us going out.
**[14:21] Yukiatsu**
You really aren't used to being
around guys, are you?
**[14:24] Anaru**
S-Screw you!
**[14:26] Yukiatsu**
Nice mid kick.
**[14:28] Anaru**
What the hell?
**[14:29] Anaru**
Nice mid kick!?
**[14:31] Anaru**
What are you laughing at!?
You really freaked me out!
**[14:35] Yukiatsu**
Was it really such a surprise?
**[14:39] Jinta**
This is the day!
**[14:42] Popp**
I feel like I'm on fire!
**[14:45] Jinta**
Yeah.
**[14:45] Menma**
Hey, Jintan...
**[14:47] Menma**
Anaru's stuffed animal isn't here...
**[14:50] Jinta**
Did Anaru go home?
**[14:52] Poppo**
Yeah, it came outta nowhere!
She's one fickle kitty, I'm tellin' ya.
**[14:58] Anaru**
If Menma's really at your place, isn't she just
gonna disappear when you grant her wish!?
**[15:07] Menma**
What's wrong, Jintan?
**[15:09] Jinta**
Oh, nothing.
**[15:11] Jinta**
Okay, time for work.
**[15:13] Poppo**
Leaving already?
**[15:14] Jinta**
Yup. Whaddya wanna do, Menma?
**[15:16] Menma**
Stay with Poppo!
**[15:18] Jinta**
She wants to stay here. Do you mind?
**[15:20] Poppo**
Oh, really...?
**[15:24] Poppo**
Of course you can stay! Stay
here as long as you want!
**[15:28] Menma**
Yaaay!
**[15:29] Jinta**
Just calm down a little, okay?
**[15:31] Menma**
But I'm so happy!
**[15:35] Jinta**
*I guess she really is happy.*
**[15:39] Jinta**
*Right? Right...?*
**[15:44] Boy**
So I saw that movie...
**[15:45] Jinta**
*Winter uniforms...*
**[15:49] Jinta**
*At first, I thought she
was just a summer beast...*
**[15:57] Jinta**
*But now they're already wearing
their winter uniforms...*
**[16:10] Menma**
Ah, I did it!
**[16:12] Poppo**
You here, Menma?
**[16:13] Menma**
Yup, right here!
***SIGN*** "Hello."
**[16:21] Poppo**
Wh—holy crap!
**[16:23] Poppo**
That's awesome, Menma!
**[16:25] Menma**
Hmm...I wonder why I can't write like
this on the notebook at home...
**[16:29] Poppo**
Keep writing! I wanna talk about everything!
***SIGN*** "Okay. What do you want to talk about?"
**[16:35] Poppo**
Oh, good question! Let's see...
**[16:41] Poppo**
That day... Did you...
**[16:45] Poppo**
When you... Did you see me...?
**[16:55] Poppo**
Oh, I know! Let's play a picture game!
**[16:58] Menma**
Sounds fun!
**[17:00] Poppo**
Okay!
**[17:03] Menma**
Ooh, what's that? It looks like a cookie...!
**[17:07] Menma**
Backpacker... Ruby... Yam...
Mario... Openhanded...
**[17:16] ---**
Hands all pretty play in nine empty
small steeples, and...happiness!
**[17:28] Menma**
Binoculars, go!
**[17:30] Menma**
Officer Menma beginning her investigation!
**[17:33] Menma**
Zooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom...
**[17:50] Jinta**
I'm home!
**[18:01] Jinta**
Menma...
***SIGN*** *The number you have dialed is—*
**[18:07] Jinta**
Dammit!
**[18:08] Jinta**
He's not picking up... Is he at work?
***SIGN*** Hisakawa Tetsudo
**[18:12] Jinta**
*Why am I in such a hurry?*
**[18:19] Jinta**
*Why am I running?*
**[18:23] Jinta**
*She's probably just at the secret base.*
**[18:29] Jinta**
*So why...why am I...?*
**[18:34] Menma**
Jintan!
**[18:38] Menma**
Hey, over here!
**[18:41] Menma**
Heeey!
**[18:45] Atsushi**
Jinta...
**[18:48] Atsushi**
Menma-chan has...
**[18:58] Jinta**
*No!*
**[18:59] Jinta**
*I don't want her to go... Absolutely not!*
**[19:08] Menma**
Jintan?
**[19:25] Menma**
Jintan!
**[19:27] Jinta**
Ouch...!
**[19:28] Menma**
I don't want you to...
**[19:31] Menma**
I don't ever want you to die,
Jintan! Never ever ever!
**[19:38] Jinta**
What are you talking about?
**[19:40] Jinta**
You do remember you're dead, right?
**[19:43] Menma**
Oh... That's true.
**[19:49] Jinta**
Crazy Menma...
**[19:51] Menma**
Takes one to know one!
**[19:53] Jinta**
Sure, sure. Let's get going.
**[19:56] Menma**
Wait.
**[19:57] Menma**
Carp...
**[19:58] Menma**
Huh? Carp?
**[19:59] Menma**
I saw a really big carp in the river!
**[20:03] Menma**
I wanted to get a better look
at it. There! Over there!
**[20:08] Menma**
It's over by those tree trunks! Look!
**[20:15] Jinta**
Stop!
**[20:29] Menma**
Jintan...?
**[20:32] Menma**
That hurts, Jintan.
**[20:35] Menma**
Jintan, are you being a little baby?
**[20:38] Jinta**
Stay here. Stay here...forever.
**[20:44] Menma**
Jintan?
**[20:45] Jinta**
S-Stay right here! I'll go
get that carp for you!
**[20:50] Menma**
Jintan! You're gonna get all wet!
**[20:54] Menma**
Jintan!
**[20:58] Menma**
Stupid Jintan! You're gonna catch a cold!
**[21:15] Menma**
Come back, Jintan!

ohkina kibou wasurenai
**[22:17] ---**
sharing all the dreams
and hopes in our lives.
**[22:20] [SONG] ---**
juunengo no hachigatsu mata
deaeruno wo shinjite
**[22:20] ---**
And in another August ten years from now,
I trust I'll get to see you one more time.
**[22:27] [SONG] ---**
kimi ga saigomade kokoro kara
**[22:27] ---**
And till the very, very end
I was sure, I knew
**[22:31] [SONG] ---**
arigatou sakendetakoto shittetayo
**[22:31] ---**
that you were crying out "thank you"
from the bottom of your heart.
**[22:34] [SONG] ---**
namida wo koraete egao
de sayonara setsunai yone
**[22:34] ---**
So now we're smiling and holding back tears;
it's just too sad to have to say goodbye.
**[22:42] [SONG] ---**
saikou no omoide wo
**[22:42] ---**
To our memories...our fondest memories.
