    Atsushi... you know...
[00:16] en
    There's something I've been
    thinking about lately.
[00:19] at
    What is it, En-chan?
[00:20] at
    The Ol*mpics?
[00:21] at
    The constitution?
[00:22] at
    Chikuwabu?
[00:23] en
    No, time.
[00:25] at
    Time?
[00:26] en
    We only just got promoted to 3rd years,
[00:29] en
    and it was autumn before we knew it.
[00:31] en
    We missed all our chances for summer fun.
[00:34] en
    You know?
[00:35] io
    Not true, Yufuin-senpai.
[00:38] io
    We went to both
[00:39] io
    Danran Beach and Mt. Binan.
[00:42] ryu
    Is your memory getting fuzzy already?
    That's an aging danger sign!
[00:46] ats
    En-chan, your kouhai are worried about you.
[00:49] en
    Yeah,
[00:50] en
    but it didn't feel like we were going
    to the mountains or the beach for fun.
[00:53] en
    It's too late now,
[00:55] en
    but it's always been my dream to
    make lots of fun summer memories.
[00:59] io
    You know the saying.
[01:01] io
    "Time doesn't betray dreams," and vice versa.
[01:04] en
    Does anyone even know what that means?
[01:06] at
    In my opinion, it means that
    the time you spend working
[01:09] at
    puts you that much closer to your dreams...
[01:11] en
    Atsushi. You don't actually
    have to analyze it.
[01:14] ryu
    Hey, you know sand clocks?
[01:17] at
    That's pretty out of the blue.
[01:18] ryu
    Well, talking about clocks
    in the bath reminded me.
[01:21] ryu
    Sand clocks.
[01:22] io
    Saunas have them a lot, don't they?
[01:24] en
    Io, have you been to a sauna?
[01:27] io
    A friend of mine has one at home.
[01:29] io
    A Finnish sauna.
[01:30] io
    It's basically a steam bath.
[01:32] en
    They slap their backs with
    birch branches, don't they?
[01:36] io
    What? Do they?
[01:37] en
    You didn't know?
[01:38] at
    Anyway, Ryuu, what were
    you saying about sand clocks?
[01:41] ryu
    With a sand clock, you know?
[01:42] ryu
    It's a clock, but it doesn't
    tell you what time it is.
[01:46] ryu
    It claims to be a time-telling device,
[01:47] ryu
    but it won't actually tell you the time.
[01:50] ryu
    So how is it a clock?
[01:51] io
    But isn't that true of a stopwatch, as well?
[01:55] ryu
    Oh, right.
[01:56] ryu
    But somehow that just doesn't sit right.
[01:59] at
    A sand clock is known as
    an "hourglass" in English.
[02:01] at
    It's not a watch or a clock.
[02:03] ryu
    Sand and glass? They're the same thing!
[02:05] en
    I can't believe you guys
[02:07] en
    kept this stupid conversation up this long.
[02:10] at
    En-chan, are you really one to talk?
[02:13] en
    What do you mean?
[02:17] yu
    You use a sand clock when
    you get an enema, right?
[02:20] both
    Enema?!
[02:21] yu
    Because after it goes in,
[02:22] yu
    you need to hold it in for a while.
[02:25] en
    Really?
[02:26] en
    I never knew sand clocks
    bore such a noble mission.
[02:29] ryu
    But Yumoto,
[02:30] ryu
    why do you know something so hardcore?
[02:33] yu
    Well, when I was little, my big brother would always make me...
[02:35] io
    We don't need to hear this.
[02:37] at
    They never change.
[02:39] at
    That Earth Defense Club!
[02:41] en
    You know, you're a member of it, too...
[02:47] gero
    I knew it!
[02:48] gero
    You're all here, eh?
[02:50] ari
    Hey there.
[02:51] yu
    Come on in!
[02:53] ryu
    What do you mean, you knew it?
[02:57] gero
    The Earth Defense Club
[02:59] gero
    can always be found marinating
    at Kurotama Bath.
[03:02] io
    Excellent observation.
[03:08] ari
    I initially turned up my nose at
    the thought of public bathing.
[03:11] ari
    But it's quite nice when you get used to it.
[03:14] en
    Right?
[03:15] en
    You can't stretch out in the bath at home.
[03:18] yu
    Go on!
[03:18] yu
    Sink right in down to your shoulders!
[03:21] yu
    Our hot water comes right from a hot spring!
[03:24] at
    Hey.
[03:32] at
    It's been a while.
[03:34] kusa
    We see each other in school every day.
[03:36] at
    Oh.
[03:37] at
    That's right.
[03:39] at
    I guess it's been hard, huh?
[03:42] kusa
    What has?
[03:44] at
    Well... you know...
[03:46] at
    stuff?
[03:48] kusa
    "Stuff"?
[03:49] kusa
    That's incredibly vague.
[03:51] at
    True...
[03:54] yu
    That reminds me.
[03:55] yu
    Aren't you student council
    guys gonna study abroad?
[03:58] ryu
    Hey!
[03:58] io
    Hush!
[04:00] kusa
    Yeah.
[04:01] kusa
    We head out tomorrow.
[04:02] yu
    Lucky!
[04:03] yu
    You know, I've never ever been on a plane!
[04:07] yu
    What does it feel like?
[04:09] kusa
    You just fly, like normal.
[04:12] yu
    Come on!
[04:13] yu
    But what's normal? That's I want to know!
[04:16] yu
    Is it exciting?
[04:18] yu
    Is it invigorating?!
[04:19] kusa
    It's not...
[04:21] kusa
    especially exciting.
[04:22] kusa
    Nor is it invigorating, I suppose.
[04:25] kusa
    I don't really know.
[04:28] en
    Yumoto! Yumoto!
[04:29] yu
    What?
[04:30] en
    Just get over here!
[04:32] yu
    Okay...
[04:34] en
    Leave the two of them alone.
[04:36] yu
    What?
[04:37] yu
    Here, you mean?
[04:39] io
    Yes, here!
[04:40] yu
    Why?
[04:41] en
    Because!
[04:43] gero
    Arima-san, have you finished
    your preparations?
[04:45] ari
    More or less.
[04:47] gero
    It doesn't feel real to me yet.
[04:51] ari
    Same here.
[04:53] ari
    But it's even worse for Kinshiro, I believe.
[04:57] kusa
    You seem rather busy.
[05:00] at
    No, things are pretty normal here.
[05:13] kusa
    Tomorrow—
[05:13] at
    How about—
[05:14] at
    What?
[05:15] kusa
    Nothing.
[05:17] at
    Tomorrow what?
[05:18] kusa
    Tomorrow...
[05:20] kusa
    I was wondering if anything was going on.
[05:23] at
    With me?
[05:24] at
    Well, you're flying out, right, Kin-chan?
[05:26] kusa
    No, not that.
[05:28] kusa
    I mean overall.
[05:29] at
    Overall?
[05:31] at
    I don't know.
[05:35] ryu
    Look at this!
[05:36] ryu
    It's hell! Sweet and sour pastry hell!
[05:39] en
    Just say it!
[05:40] en
    Say "I'll go see you off!"
[05:41] en
    Say "Come and see me off!"
[05:42] io
    Hey, back off.
[05:44] io
    The ice just started melting after so long.
[05:47] io
    Our job is just to watch and hope for the best.
[05:49] ari
    Something that's been balled up
     for so many years
[05:51] ari
    won't untangle that easily.
[05:53] io
    You said it, Arima-san.
[05:55] yu
    Huh? What do you mean?
[05:56] yu
    What won't untangle?
[05:58] all
    Never mind! You just sit!
[06:03] yu
    But President Kusatsu
[06:04] yu
    looks a lot like Mr. Tawarayama right now!
[06:07] ryu
    You mean the blank expression?
    That's typical for him.
[06:09] en
    Yeah...
[06:11] yu
    No!
[06:12] yu
    I mean he's floating, with Atsushi-senpai!
[06:17] en
    Did they pass out from the heat?
[06:19] gero
    President!
SIGN    Love, Once More!
[06:30] en
    Knowing Atsushi,
[06:32] en
    he felt awkward pushing to come see him off
[06:34] en
    when he wasn't invited.
[06:36] ari
    And Kinshiro probably thought
[06:37] ari
    asking him to come see him off
[06:39] ari
    would be a shameless request.
[06:42] yu
    They could have just said it.
[06:44] yu
    Why didn't they say it?
[06:46] io
    Things are complicated
    when you're a grown-up.
[06:51] ari
    Are you awake, Kinshiro?
[06:55] yu
    Are you okay?
[06:57] kusa
    I seem to have fainted.
[06:59] kusa
    I'm sorry for the trouble.
[07:05] yu
    Atsushi-senpai's not awake yet!
[07:08] kusa
    Well,
[07:09] kusa
    I have to get home soon
[07:11] kusa
    to get ready for tomorrow.
[07:12] ari
    Here!
[07:13] kusa
    Thank you.
[07:15] kusa
    Now, Earth Defense Club.
[07:17] kusa
    Please try not to cause any
    trouble while we're abroad.
[07:20] yu
    Oh, yeah!
[07:21] yu
    Could we come to see you off tomorrow?
[07:26] yu
    I want to see a plane!
[07:27] yu
    Can we?
[07:30] gero
    What should we do, President?
[07:32] kusa
    If you want to come, do so.
[07:34] kusa
    We have no authority to stop you.
[07:36] gero
    Well, I guess that's that.
[07:39] ari
    See you.
[07:40] yu
    Yes!
[07:42] en
    Atsushi, you okay?
[07:44] ryu
    The student council just left.
[07:46] atsu
    I know.
[07:49] atsu
    Yumoto...
[07:51] atsu
    Thanks.
[07:52] yu
    For what?
[07:53] atsu
    Well... nothing.
[07:56] yu
    Atsushi-senpai, are you cold?
[07:58] en
    Should we go back in?
[08:00] ryu
    Sure.
[08:01] ryu
    I don't have any dates to go on today.
[08:03] io
    And the Tokyo markets are already closed.
[08:11] en
    Atsushi, you're way too dere.
[08:13] atsu
    Me?
[08:14] atsu
    Really?
[08:17] atsu
    I was thinking, in hindsight,
[08:19] atsu
    the Battle Lovers wasn't bad at all.
[08:23] en
    You think?
[08:24] en
    These things are the root of all evil.
[08:26] atsu
    I know, that's why I said "in hindsight."
[08:29] atsu
    All's well that ends well, you know?
[08:31] ryu
    Kinugawa-senpai, you're really generous.
[08:34] io
    Very far-sighted thinking.
[08:36] yu
    I had fun with our Battle
    Lover club activity, too!
[08:39] four
    Don't call it a club activity!
[08:41] yu
    We just need Wom-san
    and Mr. Tawarayama to show up,
[08:44] yu
    and we'll have the whole gang!
[08:46] en
    Speak of the devil.
[08:48] both
    Wom-san?
[08:51] mon
    I am...
[08:51] yu
    An hourglass!
[08:52] mon
    Don't call me by such a cheap name!
[08:54] mon

    Hourglass Monster!
[08:56] mon
    Silence!
[08:57] mon
    I mean, stop time!
[09:00] mon
    I am wonderful!
[09:04] mon
    Evolution, change,
    and growth are unnecessary!

    I live now only for this moment!
[09:10] mon
    Live! For! The present!
[09:11] mon
    Life Now!
[09:14] mon
    Did you behold my power?
[09:16] mon
    Time Stopper!
[09:19] yu
    Wow, he startled me!
[09:21] yu
    He startled me so much I forgot to breathe!
[09:23] ryu
    He's sounding kind of cool, though...
[09:25] io
    You think that's cool? Really?
[09:28] io
    I mean, I know "Show Stopper"...
[09:30] en
    But why a monster?
[09:32] en
    I thought we beat Zundar and Hireashi.
[09:34] atsu
    He should have been demoted to assistant director.
[09:37] yu
    You intend to stand against us, do you?
[09:39] yu
    Senpais!
[09:40] yu
    Let's Love Making into the Battle Lovers!
[09:43] yu

    Attention, Battle Lovers!
[10:15] mon
    Your time ends now.
[10:17] mon
    For, you see...
[10:18] mon
    I will end you all!
[10:21] en
    Wait!
[10:23] en
    How did you know we're the Battle Lovers?
[10:29] mon
    That's not all I know!

    Your faces and voices are blur-free

    Why, you...

    We won't let you...

    I can't move!

    En-chan!
[10:57] yu
    Darn it.
[10:58] yu
    This weirdo wouldn't be able
[11:00] yu

    Sorry, but that's not in your futures!
[11:05] mon
    Sleep in the hour of repose known as death!

    Is someone horsing around in the bath?!
[11:18] goro
    Who are you?!
[11:19] yu
    Big bro!
[11:21] goro
    And he's kicking sand around, too!
[11:23] goro
    What the hell made you think that was okay?!
[11:26] mon
    Well...
[11:29] mon
    Oh, there's a very important galaxy-spanning reason...
[11:32] goro
    Someone who can't wash off
[11:34] goro
    before getting in the bath,
    talking about the galaxy?!
[11:36] goro
    What kind of crap is that?!
[11:39] mon
    I'm sorry!
[11:40] mon
    I'll come back later!
[11:42] goro

    Choose better friends.
[11:50] ryu
    What?
[11:51] ryu
    Don't tell the student council?
[11:53] io
    Why not?
[11:54] en
    They're about to go study abroad.
[11:57] en
    I don't want to worry them.
[11:59] ryu
    But what if Zundar's
    pulling the strings again?
[12:03] atsu
    No way.
[12:04] atsu
    Kin-chan wouldn't do anything so cowardly.
[12:07] ryu
    Sorry.
[12:10] en
    You have nothing to apologize for, Ryuu.
[12:12] en
    But if they're not behind it,
[12:15] en
    we have to figure out what
    the hell happened yesterday.
[12:19] atsu
    En-chan, what's wrong?

    That's an insult...
[13:30] tsu
    to the turtles.
[13:31] hi
    That's right. They're less than turtles.
[13:34] tsu
    Yes,
[13:35] tsu
    they're pathetic water fleas.

    They'll be pulverized, at this rate.

[07:39] (Flashback) yu
    Yeah, got it!
[07:40] yu
    So I started for the Jizo statues,
    just like my bro told me...
[07:46] yu
    But I ran into a trap!
[07:48] en
    A trap?
[07:49] (Flashback) man
    Hey, boy.
[07:51] (Flashback) man
    You've got some nice-looking hats there.
[07:53] (Flashback) yu
    I'm selling steamed buns here.
[07:55] (Flashback) yu
    Wanna trade?
[07:57] (Flashback) yu
    They look delicious!
[07:58] (Flashback) man
    Well? Want to trade?
[08:00] (Flashback) yu
    Yeah!
[08:02] (Flashback) yu
    Yes! Let's eat...
[08:06] (Flashback) go
    Listen, Yumoto.
[08:08] (Flashback) go
    Don't stray from the path no matter what.
[08:11] (Flashback) yu
    No, I shouldn't.
[08:13] (Flashback) yu
    I can't accept this.
[08:15] (Flashback) yu
    But I'll still give you the hat.
[08:17] (Flashback) yu
    I'm sorry.
[08:18] ryu
    Wait, you gave him the hat?
[08:21] yu
    Yeah.
[08:22] yu
    But I didn't take the steamed bun.
[08:24] io
    So what about the four other hats?
[08:27] yu
    I gave them to the Jizo statues.
[08:30] yu
    But...
[08:32] yu
    There were five Jizo statues,
    and I was missing one hat.
[08:35] yu
    I didn't realize until then that
    that's why Bro gave me five.
SIGN    Oh no! I don't have enough!
[08:41] yu
    So I had to take off my own scarf
    and put it on the Jizo statue.
[08:45] at
    Just like in the story, right?
[08:47] (Flashback) yu
    I'm sorry I don't have a hat for you...

[09:02] yu
    Yeah.

    Because the snow was falling
    so hard, and he got worried.

    Though I expelled it from my mind, as
    there was no profit to be gained from it.
[04:06] yu
    That's right!
[04:07] yu
    Wom-san is hairy, too!
[04:09] yu
    I guess that's why you're so compassionate!
[04:11] wom
    Please, desist!
[04:13] wom
    I don't itch anywhere!
[04:14] yu
    No, I bet you're itchy right here!
[04:22] haru
    I'm extremely unamused.
[04:24] haru
    I want Hakone Yumoto extremely gone.
[04:27] aki
    Haru, I know what you're thinking.
SIGN    Monster
[04:31] aki
    You want to create a monster
    to stamp him out, right?
[04:34] haru
    Yes, yes! That, that!
[04:37] dada
    In that case...
[04:39] dada
    Let's make one.
[04:45] yu
    Today's a minced chicken and egg lunch! Yeah!
[04:48] tsu
    Gora-san's handmade lunches always
    look delicious, don't they?
[04:51] yu
    They're the best!
[04:52] yu
    I usually eat rice balls, so once in a while,
[04:54] yu
    he goes out of his way
    to pack a lunch for me.
[04:58] yu
    Let's eat!
[05:00] yu
    Huh? There's no spoon...
[05:05] yu
    You want a bite of my chicken and egg lunch?
[05:10] haru
    I want it...
[05:12] haru
    I want it so bad!
[05:16] aki
    No, thank you.
[05:17] haru
    That lunch wasn't made for us.
[05:24] aki
    This is why I didn't want to
    have lunch at the cafeteria.
[05:28] haru
    But going out of my way to avoid
    him gets under my skin, too.
[05:32] aki
    I can't say I don't sympathise...
[05:35] haru
    Right?
[05:36] haru
    I hate them!
[05:38] ber
    Loves me...
[05:39] ber
    hates me...
[05:40] ber
    loves me...
[05:40] dada
    It appears someone's here.
[05:42] ber
    hates me...
[05:43] ber
    loves me...
[05:45] ber
    hates me...
[05:48] haru
    You. What are you doing?
[05:52] ber
    I do beg your pardon!
[05:54] ber
    I was performing, how do you say,
    the Japanese flower fortunetelling!
[05:58] aki
    Picking flowers in a greenhouse
    seems rather tasteless...
[06:01] ber
    I beg your utmost pardon!
[06:04] ber
    I was worried about whether my twin
    younger brother loves or hates me.
[06:09] ber
    And before I could think twice, I
    began plucking the flower's petals.
[06:11] aki
    Your twin younger brother?
[06:13] haru
    You're twins, too?
[06:15] ber
    Yes!
[06:16] ber
    My name is Bernardo.
[06:18] ber
    My little brother is Alan.
[06:20] ber
    We are the pretty-boy Italian twins,
[06:22] ber
    acknowledged by both ourselves and others!
[06:28] aki
    If you're twins,
[06:30] aki
    can't you just tell what he's thinking?
[06:32] haru
    We never run into that problem.
[06:36] ber
    I am so full of envy!
[06:38] ber
    We were not always this way!
[06:41] haru
    What a waste.
[06:43] haru
    Twins, of all people,
    should always get along.
[06:45] ber
    Indeed!
[06:46] ber
    Twins must always get along!
[06:50] ber
    And yet I cannot understand
    anything my brother is thinking!
[06:55] haru
    How did that happen?
[06:58] aki
    You did something to make
    him hate you, right?
[07:00] ber
    It cannot be!
[07:02] ber
    How can my brother hate me,
    when I love him so?
[07:05] aki
    But your brother must have some reason.
[07:08] haru
    That's right.
[07:10] haru
    Because without a reason...
[07:11] both
    Twins would never, ever hate each other!
[07:14] aki
    Even if the world turned upside-down...
[07:17] haru
    We'd still be of one mind in all things.
[07:20] ber
    What lovely twinly love!
[07:22] ber
    That is what I would like to have!
[07:25] ber
    And yet Alan...
[07:27] ber
    he will not even meet my gaze!
[07:34] dada
    And so, Bernardo told his story.
[07:38] dada
    They actually used to be the best of friends.
[07:43] dada
    But when they hit puberty,
[07:46] dada
    the little brother changed.
[07:49] (Flashback) alan
    Brother, I will no longer
    take baths with you!
[07:52] (Flashback) ber
    Why not, Alan?
[07:54] (Flashback) ber
    Brother...
[07:55] (Flashback) ber
    you cannot understand how I feel!
[07:58] ber
    Since then,
[08:00] ber
    we have never once bathed together.
[08:04] haru
    I wonder why not.
[08:05] ber
    I cannot understand!
[08:07] haru
    It's a mystery, then?
[08:09] aki
    Yeah.
[08:10] aki
    It's hard for perfect twins
    like us to understand.
[08:13] dada
    But these estranged twins could be useful.
[08:16] aki
    Good point.
[08:18] ber
    I beg of you to help me!
[08:21] dada
    And so we quickly began trailing
    the younger brother, Alan.
[08:26] dada
    There's Alan!
[08:28] haru
    He does look a lot like Bernardo.
SIGN    Alan Salvatore
[08:30] aki
    They're as identical as we are.
[08:33] yu
    Alan!
[08:35] yu
    I heard they have hot springs in Italy, too!
[08:40] yu
    My brother says they're called thermae!
[08:44] alan
    And what of it?
[08:46] yu
    The truth is, we run a thermae too!
[08:49] yu
    You can come by with your
    twin brother some time!
[08:52] yu
    Here, a coupon!
[08:55] alan
    The answer is no!
[08:57] alan
    I will never go to a thermae with my brother!
[08:59] alan
    Never!
[09:00] yu
    What's wrong?
[09:03] dada
    Hakone Yumoto appears to
    have stepped on a landmine.
[09:07] aki
    Yes.
[09:08] aki
    It appears that what Bernardo said was true.
[09:14] [Messenger] sign

[09:19] aki
    Could we have a word?
[09:22] alan
    What is it?
[09:24] haru
    We are the Beppu siblings.
[09:26] aki
    We're twins, like you.
[09:28] alan
    So what?
[09:30] haru
    Why do you hate your brother?
[09:32] alan
    H-How did you know...
[09:34] haru
    Bernardo told us.
[09:37] aki
    He's worried about you.
[09:39] alan
    My brother could never
    understand my feelings.
[09:42] alan
    And neither would perfect
    twins such as yourselves!
[09:45] aki
    Well, I agree that we're perfect...
[09:48] alan
    But we are entirely different!
[09:51] alan
    There is a wall between my brother and I
[09:53] alan
    that none could ever surmount!
[09:57] aki
    We're sorry to pry,
[09:59] aki
    but could you tell us why it
    is that you hate your brother?
[10:04] haru
    As fellow twins, perhaps we could help.
[10:07] alan
    I do not wish to say it.
[10:08] alan
    It is too shameful a
    thing for an Italian boy!
[10:13] haru
    For an Italian boy?
[10:15] aki
    What does that mean?
[10:17] alan
    Do not poke at my inferiority complex!
[10:20] haru
    Oh?
[10:21] haru
    But I'm sure we'd be able to help.
[10:24] aki
    We're very helpful to people with complexes.
[10:27] haru
    Yes, we always side with people
    going through hard times.
[10:31] haru
    In other words...
[10:33] both
    We're on your side!
[10:36] alan
    You are the first people who
    have ever said such a thing.
[10:41] alan
    My brother is a good man,
    and very considerate.
[10:44] alan
    But my brother has something which I lack.
[10:48] aki
    I see.
[10:49] haru
    That would cause an inferiority complex.
[10:51] aki
    Then why don't you just take it from him?
[10:56] alan
    But such a thing cannot be stolen...
[10:58] haru
    It can.
[10:59] aki
    If you let us help you, at least.
[11:01] alan
    Truly?
[11:03] aki
    Truly!
[11:04] haru
    So, what is it...
[11:05] aki
    ...that you want?

    Chest hair.
[11:10] haru
    Huh?
[11:11] aki
    Chest hair?
[11:13] aki
    But yes, we'll find a way to help you.
[11:16] alan
    Truly?
[11:17] aki
    Yes.
[11:18] aki
    If you hate your brother, from the bottom
    of your heart, for his chest hair.
[11:23] alan
    Yes, I hate it.
[11:25] alan
    He has such a fine chest full of hair!
[11:27] alan
    I envy him, and at the same time, hate him!

[00:29] at
    Those are a few fairly advanced
    words you know, Yumoto.
[00:32] yu
    Because they make me uncomfortable,
    I can remember them even better.

    It's like they're burned
    into my brain, I guess.

    They have a sexual organ on

[02:53] yu
    Um, well,
[02:54] yu
    sea slugs have both male
    and female sexual organs,
[02:57] yu
    so apparently, they can line up in a block,
[02:59] yu
    innie to outie and innie to outie...
[03:02] yu
    But instead of forming a train

[03:41] ryu
    You think?
[03:42] yu
    Io-senpai, what are your
    thoughts on hermaphroditism?
[03:45] yu
    Like "Doubling up must improve
    their cost performance!"
[03:47] yu
    "What economic efficiency!" Or something.
[03:49] ryu
    Yeah, that's true.
[03:51] ryu
    You could run a calculation like
    that in a split second, right?
[03:55] io
    What is that supposed to mean?
[03:56] ryu
    Nothing.
[03:58] ryu
    I'm not saying
[03:59] ryu
    "For someone so good at calculations,
    your bank balance has been slipping lately;
[04:01] ryu
    I hope you're okay," or anything like that.
[04:04] io
    Yes, because a little
    ebb and flow is natural.
[04:06] io
    But yeah, sea slugs are impressive.
[04:09] io
    They could have a date or a fling with
    anyone they meet anywhere, like someone else I know.
[04:12] ryu
    Are you saying I'm a sea slug?
[04:15] io
    Sea slugs are cute.
[04:18] yu
    Cows are cute, too!
[04:20] yu
    I like brown cows!
[04:22] yu
    A lot more than the black and white kind.
[04:24] yu
    For some reason, I just like brown better!
[04:29] yu
    Although I like pandas because
    they're black and white...
[04:32] yu
    I guess I'd be disappointed if
    they were just brown all over.
[04:35] yu
    I wonder why that is?
[04:37] at
    Because then they'd be ordinary bears.

    Wom-chan, want some candy?
[05:17] wom

[05:21] io
    Wom-san prefers spinach, I believe.
[05:24] io
    I thought he hated sweets.
[05:28] ryu
    That's not why he took it.
[05:31] ryu
    Wom-san won't turn down anybody
    who's trying to be nice.
[05:36] io
    Because he never lets anyone turn him down
    when he's trying to be nice?
[05:41] ryu
    I guess you can't get rich
    unless you assume the worst of everybody.
[05:48] yu
    That's probably what's going on,
    and Wom-san's having a hard time,
[05:50] yu
    being left in the middle like that.
[05:53] at
    He could have just come with us.
[05:55] en
    Wom-san's the kind of guy
    who would stay, though.
[05:57] at
    Yeah, since leaving them alone together
[05:59] at
    feels like it would bring things to a head.
[06:02] yu
    What do you mean, "bring them to a head"?
[06:04] yu
    That's not what I want!

    Women's lib, man.
[06:28] (Flashback) ryu
    That gender theory stuff
    doesn't matter on a date.
[06:31] (Flashback) ryu
    How do you let a girl know you like her?
[06:34] (Flashback) ryu
    With words?
[06:35] (Flashback) ryu
    With actions?
[06:36] (Flashback) ryu
    Or with telepathy?
[06:38] (Flashback) ryu
    That one's nice if you can
    do it, but most people can't.
[06:42] (Flashback) ryu
    So the simplest way is to just
    say "I'll pay for the date."
[06:48] (Flashback) ryu
    There's no girl who won't like
    having you pick up her cup of tea,
[06:52] (Flashback) ryu

[06:57] (Flashback) ryu
    Well, my girlfriend never lets me pay, though.

[07:05] (Flashback) io
    Sorry.
[07:07] (Flashback) ryu
    Is something I said amusing to you?
[07:11] (Flashback) io
    Not really.
[07:12] (Flashback) io
    It was just funny to hear someone talk
[07:15] (Flashback) io
    about benefit-cost ratios over
    something as silly as dating.
[07:18] (Flashback) ryu
    If you ask me, obsessing
    over money is much sillier.

    We've ignored them for a month and a half.

[01:34] at
    Yeah, that's true.

[03:34] yu
    They're getting that much chocolate?
[03:37] haru
    Another year, another
    enormous pile of chocolate.
[03:40] aki
    Eating it all would be fatal.
[03:43] aki
    Finding ways to dispose of it all
    every year is not an easy task.

    Galaxy Idols The VEPPer sure are a cut above!

[03:59] gora
    I made chocolate breakfast gruel.

    Wow! Great!

    Looks delicious!
[04:07] gora
    You should eat it while it's still hot.

    It's got barley and rice.
[04:10] yu
    Thanks, Bro!
[04:15] aki
    That's the Gora we know.
[04:17] aki
    Barley chocolate is delicious.
[04:19] aki
    That means chocolate barley rice
    gruel must be delicious, too.
[04:23] haru

[04:25] haru
    If not for Hakone Yumoto...

    Yeah!
[04:40] dada
    Let's beat 'em!

    Valentine's Day will be the
    day Hakone Yumoto dies.
[04:51] ryu
    Io, did you bring any paper bags?
[04:53] ryu
    I'll probably get more by
    the time school's over.
[04:55] ryu
    I can't carry it all.
[04:57] io
    I thought this might happen, so I
    arranged for a truck to come by.
[05:01] io
    I'll send you the bill later, of course.
[05:03] ryu
    That's the Io I know!

    Just find a way to get
    me out of the bill, okay?
[05:07] ryu
    I'll give you chocolate!
SIGN    Io
[05:10] io
    I'm getting plenty of chocolate from
    the candy companies I own stock in.
[05:15] io
    But I'll take it, if you're offering.
[05:18] ryu
    I wonder if you'll be the one ending
    up with the most chocolate.
[05:24] en
    This is delicious!
[05:25] at
    Right?
[05:26] at
    I tried to cut back on
    the sweetness this year.
SIGN    Earth Defense Club (lol)
[05:35] yu
    You mean it just showed up?
[05:38] at
    It looks like very expensive wrapping.
[05:40] ryu
    Yeah...
[05:42] io
    The message is handwritten, too.
[05:44] en
    Who's it addressed to?
[05:46] wom
    Anyway, why don't we open it?
[05:48] wom
    There might be a letter or something inside!
[05:51] en
    Are you sure we should be doing this?
[05:52] yu
    I'm sure!
[05:54] yu
    I wanna eat chocolate!
[06:01] en
    What?
[06:02] en
    So it's to all of us?
[06:04] io
    The cards are hand-written, and
    the bouquets are all different...
[06:08] ryu
    But there's none for Wom-san.
[06:10] wom
    Yes, that is certainly a shame.
[06:13] en
    So what do we do with them?
[06:15] at
    Not eat them, that's for sure.
[06:16] at
    We don't even know who it's from.
[06:19] ryu
    That's right!
[06:21] ryu
    We've got plenty of other
    stuff to eat anyway.
[06:23] io
    And nothing is more terrifying than "free."
[06:26] yu
    But that would be rude to the
    person who gave it to us!
[06:28] yu
    I'm gonna try it!
[06:30] ryu
    Idiot! Don't do that!
[06:33] yu
    Delicious!
[06:34] yu
    This chocolate is really delicious!
[06:37] yu
    But...
[06:38] ryu
    What's wrong, Yumoto?
[06:42] haru
    I bet they're crying about now.
[06:45] aki
    They need to learn that life
    isn't all wine and roses.
[06:49] haru
    You do have a good idea
    from time to time, Dadacha.
[06:51] dada
    I'm honored by your compliment!
SIGN    Dark chocolate
SIGN    Endorphins
[06:54] dada
    Dark chocolate causes the brain to release
    neuropeptides known as endorphins,
SIGN    Brain
[07:00] dada
    which produce feelings of happiness
    and stimulate the mind.
[07:02] dada
    At the same time, it also
    raises the heart rate.
[07:06] dada
    I've fused that with capsicum extract using
    my highly advanced scientific technology...
[07:12] dada
    If they eat it, they'll end up
    so stimulated and high on joy,
[07:16] dada
    their combat prowess will be diminshed!
[07:20] dada
    And that's how it works!
[07:22] aki
    Well, we don't really care about that...
[07:24] haru
    But this time, we'll crush the Defense Club!
[07:27] haru
    And in the process, rid
    ourselves of Hakone Yumoto!
[07:29] aki
    That super-spicy chocolate will
    be but a minor entertainment
[07:32] aki
    before we crush Hakone Yumoto.
[07:34] aki
    And we'll drive the rest of the Battle
    Lovers to destruction in the process.
[07:37] haru
    Yes.
[07:38] haru
    We've found a lot of good
    monster candidates this time.
[07:47] yu
    But I feel kind of excited and good!

    weird in that chocolate...

    or is Ryuu enjoying this?

    in after you'd done your business.

    I didn't think I was so
    dependent on my smartphone,

    but now I know how Yumoto feels.
[07:23] at
    You don't realize how important
    someone is until you lose them.
[07:29] en
    You're equating Gora-san with a smartphone?
[07:31] io
    Kinugawa-senpai's so traumatized,
[07:33] io
    he's lost all his usual social graces.
[07:35] ryu
    Yumoto forgot his cluelessness, too!
[07:37] yu
    What was that?
[07:42] dada
    Maximum Gorar is about to leave
    the Earth, never to return!
[07:48] dada
    Gorar is a space legend.
[07:50] dada
    For the sake of his fans and
    supporters who respect that legend,
[07:53] dada
    he's going to connect in
    friendship all over the cosmos
[07:56] dada
    as an eternal member of VEPPer!
[07:59] dada
    Heaven!
[08:00] en
    Yeah, I lost the thread there.
[08:01] en
    All the English threw me off.
[08:04] wom
    In other words, they're taking Hakone Gora!
[08:10] dada
    See you! Thank you! Bye!
[08:30] dada
    What are you doing?
[08:31] dada
    My office won't stand for this!
[08:34] ryu
    They're surprisingly flimsy.
[08:35] io
    Yeah.
[08:36] io
    They must get holes in them all the time.
[08:41] ryu
    Just one poke from any slightly
    pointy household utensil...
[08:44] ryu
    Chopsticks, for example...
[08:51] dada
    I-I-I'm sorry!
[08:54] at
    No need to apologize.
[08:56] en
    So? Is Gora-san with them?
[09:00] io
    And they're going back
    into space with Gora-san?
[09:05] ryu
    So what about the fight they
    were trying to pick with us?
[09:08] dada
    The original purpose of the fights
[09:09] dada
    was to make it clear who
    was more worthy of Gora-san!
[09:14] at
    Really?
[09:16] dada
    But they don't care anymore,
[09:19] dada

    Yeah, Gora really should
    be in the center, right?
[09:33] aki
    Yeah.
[09:34] aki
    Speaking of which, it'll
    usually be the three of us,
[09:38] aki
    but I was thinking of forming a new unit,
    just me and Gora, called "Go Lucky!"
[09:43] aki
    Gora + Aki = Go Lucky! Get it?
[09:45] haru
    What the heck?
[09:46] haru
    That's not fair! I want a unit, too!
[09:48] aki
    No!
[09:49] aki
    If we try to sell another unit
    with the same name scheme,
[09:52] aki
    it'll just dilute Gorar's value.

[09:55] haru

    Gorar is a hero!

    VEPPer are idols!
[10:54] both
    It's a natural fit!
[10:56] ryu
    No, no. They're different.

    it "beyond-thrilling" himself.

    Well, that's TV people for you.

    his chickens before they hatch.

    In games, usually going second

    I make thoughtless mistakes.
[02:35] voices
    I let chances slip away.
[02:38] voices
    But whenever that happens...
[02:41] voices
    I hear a voice!
[02:43] haru
    They're getting likes?!
[02:46] aki
    They have no sense of pitch or tempo...
[02:48] aki
    You have to be kidding!
[02:51] aki
    Gorar-san is...
[02:52] aki
    waking up?
[02:55] haru
    He didn't show any reaction to our singing...
[02:58] aki
    Yet this pitiful performance...
[03:00] aki
    Is it impossible for us to beat a bond
    between brothers, no matter what we do?
[03:26] hashi
    Hey, you.
[03:28] hashi
    Did you have pasta with meat sauce for lunch?
[03:31] gora
    Eh? Lunch?
[03:32] gora
    No, mabo tofu.
[03:35] gora
    From a pouch.
[03:36] hashi
    Oh, I see.
[03:38] hashi
    There's a stain on your shirt,
    so I assumed it was meat sauce.
[03:43] gora
    Do you enjoy meat sauce?
[03:46] hashi
    It's fine.
[03:47] hashi
    Actually, I dislike it.
[03:49] hashi
    It's all crumbly, so it's
    hard for me to eat it all.
[03:52] goro
    I... can imagine.
[04:00] hashi
    Do you enjoy chopping wood?
[04:03] gora
    Oh, yes.
[04:04] gora
    I do enjoy it quite a lot.
[04:12] hashi
    Would you like to fight?
[04:16] hashi
    I'm looking for someone who will fight.
[04:21] hashi
    Well, would you give it a try, at least?
[04:36] gor
    H-Hang on here!
[04:48] gor
    Wh-Why...?
[04:49] hashi
    You're cut out to be a hero, you know?
[04:53] hashi
    What?
[04:54] hashi
    You're cut out to be a hero.
[04:59] gora
    Am I, really?
[05:01] hashi
    I've found my villain!
[05:04] gora
    Huh?!
[05:05] hashi
    You are my villain!
[05:09] gora
    Ha, thought so!
[05:11] gora
    Medicine to make Earthlings smarter?
[05:15] gora
    I'll never let you add
    that to the water supply!
[05:17] gora
    Earthlings gotta be dumb! Dumbasses for life!
[05:21] gora
    An educational radio broadcast? On Earth?
[05:24] gora
    Get that crap outta here!
[05:27] gora
    I'll put a stop to all your good deeds!
[05:35] gora
    Earthlings don't need to go to school!
[05:39] gora
    Keep 'em stuck on Earth forever, dickcheese!
[05:42] both
    Wait!
[05:43] haru
    What's with this recording?
[05:45] haru
    The dialogue and the images
    don't match up at all!
[05:48] aki
    Dumbass? Dickcheese?
[05:49] aki
    Gorar would never use such filthy language!
[05:52] haru
    This isn't anything like the
    broadcast version, either!
[05:55] aki
    This reedit is completely lacking in taste!
[05:57] en
    Excuse me. Question.
[05:59] en
    You VEPPer guys are Earthlings, right?
[06:02] both
    We're Earthlings just like Gorar!
[06:04] en
    Wasn't CIDE broadcast on TV Universe?
[06:07] zun
    Indeed it was!
[06:09] en
    If CIDE 1 wasn't broadcast on Earth,
[06:12] en
    how do you know what happened in it?
[06:14] both
    We saw it in space.
[06:16] atsu
    How?
[06:17] haru
    Like anyone does.
[06:18] aki
    On TV.
[06:19] io
    But it's the TV that we're wondering about...
[06:22] ryu
    What's the story?
[06:27] (Flashback) haru
    Gorar!
[06:28] (Flashback) aki
    Don't worry, Haru.
[06:29] (Flashback) aki
    Gorar never loses!
[06:30] (Flashback) haru
    Y-Yeah.
[06:32] (Flashback) haru
    You're right!
[06:34] (Flashback) both
    Fight, Maximum Gorar!
[06:37] (Flashback) gora
    Wood-Chopping Beam!
[06:39] (Flashback) both
    Yeah!
[06:42] en
    Hang on.
[06:43] en
    There are so many things I have
    to question. Too many things.
[06:48] atsu
    What was your father's job, exactly?
[06:49] en
    Yes! That was my question!
[06:51] aki
    That is not the issue here!
[06:53] haru
    We decided to support Gorar.
[06:56] haru
    To keep on supporting him no matter what!
[07:01] gor
    Send whatever you want.
[07:03] gor
    I shall protect the Earth!
SIGN    Can I Destroy Earth? will be airing
    its final episode next week.
[07:06] both
    Cancelled?!
[07:08] ari
    That's right.
[07:08] ari
    I believe we've heard this
    story before, haven't we?
[07:12] gero
    As I recall, no matter how many times
    they attacked, they couldn't beat Gorar.
[07:16] gero
    And then...
[07:17] zun
    Something unanticipated happened.
[07:23] (Flashback) ali
    Haruhiko. Akihito.
[07:26] (Flashback) ali
    I heard CIDE's ending.
[07:28] (Flashback) haru
    What, and now you're glad you don't have
    to watch such a dumb show anymore, right?
[07:32] (Flashback) aki
    Thank you for your worthless opinion.
[07:35] (Flashback) ali
    Nah, it's not that.
[07:37] (Flashback) ali
    I think I'm gonna miss it.
[07:40] (Flashback) ali
    I was just starting to think...
[07:42] (Flashback) ali
    Gorar was pretty stubborn, and
    really strong, and kinda cool.
[07:47] (Flashback) ali
    That's all.
[07:48] (Flashback) ali
    Later.
[07:50] zun
    Although Gorar was meant to be a villain,
[07:52] zun
    he amassed surprising popularity.
[07:55] zun
    The higher-ups saw their
    plans going off the rails,
[07:57] zun
    and decided to cancel the show.
[08:00] (Flashback) haru
    Your stay's being extended?!
[08:01] (Flashback) aki
    You said we'd be going back right away!
[08:05] (Flashback) haru
    Our dad's a liar.
[08:08] (Flashback) aki
    I wonder how Gorar's doing...
[08:10] (Flashback) haru
    Did they really stop sending monsters?
[08:13] (Flashback) haru
    I hope the Earth's really okay...
[08:15] (Flashback) aki
    The show's been canceled,
[08:17] (Flashback) aki
    and TV Universe probably doesn't
    have the budget to keep it up.
[08:20] (Flashback) haru
    I wonder why they canceled it...
[08:22] (Flashback) aki
    But if it's canceled, that means
    Gorar won't have to fight anymore.
[08:27] (Flashback) haru
    I know that!
[08:28] (Flashback) haru
    It's not that I like
    watching Gorar get hurt...
[08:32] (Flashback) aki
    Really?
[08:34] (Flashback) aki
    You can be pretty selfish sometimes, Haru.
[08:36] (Flashback) haru
    And you can say some pretty
    nasty things sometimes, Aki.
[08:43] (Flashback) both
    Let's stop it.
[08:44] (Flashback) aki
    We're just lonely.
[08:47] (Flashback) aki
    Because we miss Gorar.
[08:49] (Flashback) haru
    We can't cheer him on anymore.
[08:51] (Flashback) aki
    And we never got to thank him for
    that first time at Binan Land.
[08:55] (Flashback) haru
    "Make mischief if you must.
[08:56] (Flashback) haru
    Just grow up big and strong," he said.
[08:58] (Flashback) haru
    I wonder if we're doing a good job?
[09:00] (Flashback) aki
    We are.
[09:02] (Flashback) aki
    I'm sure if Gorar saw us, he'd be proud.
[09:05] (Flashback) haru
    I hope you're right.
[09:09] (Flashback) haru
    Yeah.
[09:10] (Flashback) haru
    I wish Gorar could see us now...
[09:14] (Flashback) dada
    No problem!
[09:16] (Flashback) haru
    Yuck!
[09:19] (Flashback) dada
    Yes! I just knew you had talent!
[09:23] (Flashback) dada
    You Beppu Brothers are the only ones who
    could ever swat the great Dadacha out of the air!
[09:27] (Flashback) aki
    A flying squirrel?!
[09:28] (Flashback) dada
    A dwarf flying squirrel!
[09:30] (Flashback) dada
    More precisely,
[09:31] (Flashback) dada
    I am a dwarf flying squirrel-like alien
[09:33] (Flashback) dada
    who closely resembles one of your
    Earth dwarf flying squirrels.
[09:35] (Flashback) haru
    You're calling yourself a dwarf
    flying squirrel-like alien?
[09:38] (Flashback) aki
    I think he flew into our house by accident.
[09:40] (Flashback) aki
    Let's let him out, like a rhinoceros beetle.
[09:44] (Flashback) dada
    Wait! Listen to me!
[09:46] (Flashback) dada
    You want to meet Gorar, don't you?
[09:49] (Flashback) aki
    Did you say Gorar?
[09:50] (Flashback) dada
    I did, I did!
[09:51] (Flashback) dada
    Yes, I did!
[09:52] (Flashback) haru
    I don't care what kind of
    flying squirrel you are,
[09:55] (Flashback) haru
    if you're using Gorar's name to jerk
    us around, we'll tear out your fur.
[09:59] (Flashback) dada
    Cut it out!
[10:00] (Flashback) dada
    I've got a good deal for you!
[10:01] (Flashback) dada
    With Maximum Gorar retired,
[10:04] (Flashback) dada
    the only option is for you to go on TV!
[10:07] (Flashback) haru
    What?
[10:08] (Flashback) haru
    I don't understand.
[10:09] (Flashback) dada
    Just as you saw Gorar on TV,
[10:13] (Flashback) dada
    if you went on TV, Gorar
    would be the one to see you!
[10:17] (Flashback) aki
    But CIDE was canceled...
[10:19] (Flashback) dada
    So we need a new angle.
[10:21] (Flashback) dada
    Idols!
[10:22] (Flashback) both
    Idols?!
[10:24] (Flashback) dada
    Idols can be on music shows, of course,
    but also variety shows and dramas!
[10:27] (Flashback) dada
    Idols can do anything!
[10:29] (Flashback) dada
    This time, you'll be the ones to reach him!
[10:32] dada
    And on that day, VEPPer was born!
[10:37] haru
    Bimbos like you wouldn't understand the
    rigors of show business, of course.
[10:42] aki
    We had to go on tour.
[10:43] aki
    And sell ourselves.
[10:44] haru
    We had to humble ourselves to
    some deeply unpleasant people.
[10:46] haru
    Because it was the only way to get to Gorar.
[10:50] aki
    And at last, we broke through.
[10:51] aki
    And just when we thought
    we might get our own show,
[10:54] aki
    a certain TV program started.
[10:56] aki
    What do you think it was?
[10:58] gero
    Was it, oh, the one we were on? CIDE 2?
[11:02] aki
    Yes. The pathetic Conquest Club.
[11:05] aki
    The idiotic Earth Defense Club.
[11:08] haru
    And what annoyed us even more was
    that CIDE 2 was popular in the end!
[11:12] en
    Okay, but it's not like we
    knew we were on a TV show.
[11:16] en
    It was just Atsushi and Kusatsu's
    little lovers' quarrel anyway.
[11:19] both
    Don't call it a lovers' quarrel!
[11:20] en
    Then what should I call it?
[11:22] io
    A miscommunication?
[11:24] ryu
    A misunderstanding?
[11:25] gero
    A misapprehension?
[11:26] ari
    Could we have a little less
    talk from the second-year trio?
[11:29] ari
    Kinshiro's about to die
    of humiliation over here.
[11:32] kusa
    Am not!
[11:33] haru
    Dammit!
[11:34] haru
    These idiots beat us...
[11:35] haru
    Are the general public stupid?
[11:36] haru
    Are they just stupid?!
[11:37] aki
    We were supposed to return home
     as Earth's first top space idols.
[11:42] aki
    And we would have, if not for you!
[11:44] wom
    And that's why you challenged
    the Battle Lovers to a fight,
[11:46] wom
    even though they're Earthlings like you?
[11:50] haru
    That's right!
[11:51] haru
    We will crush you!
[11:52] aki
    We won't even allow you
    the dignity of existing!

[12:05] wom
    Is it time for the smackdown?!
[12:06] dada
    Wait!
[12:07] dada
    Galaxy Idols aren't allowed to get in fights!
[12:11] haru
    Idols aren't so limited!
[12:13] haru
    Everyone expects us to have
    a scuffle or two nowadays!
[12:17] aki
    Have you ever been forced to do a show
[12:19] aki
    where the writing was absolute crap!?
[12:23] haru
    Fans who seem devoted,
[12:25] haru
    then turn on you when you
    don't match your image...
[12:28] aki
    Incompetent producers who think only of
    protecting and promoting themselves...
[12:32] haru
    Those are the realities
    we weathered to get here!
[12:34] aki
    You think you can compare with us?!
[12:37] kusa
    At-chan!
[12:38] yu
    Stay back, Kin-chan-senpai!
[12:41] yu
    You student council guys just watch!

    This battle is between the
    Earth Defense Club and VEPPer!
[12:47] kusa
    But...
[12:48] atsu
    Yumoto's right.
[12:49] atsu
    I think we actually need to fight this one.
[12:52] en
    Rising to the challenge and all that.
[12:55] io
    Just as investment requires
    ethics and vision,
[12:57] io
    a life requires style.
[13:00] ryu
    In other words, this is
    where we show our stuff.
[13:04] haru
    After you avoided us and looked
    down on us so many times?
[13:08] haru
    So you really do sing a different
    tune when Gora-san's involved!
[13:10] aki
    I knew it, but it's still irritating.
[13:12] aki
    As people who worked our fingers
    to the bone to become idols...
[13:15] yu
    Is being an idol really that hard?
[13:19] haru
    You bet it is!
[13:21] yu
    If the fun parts don't outweigh the
    hard parts, I think that's wrong!
[13:25] aki
    Are you stupid?
[13:26] aki
    That's mere idealism!
[13:28] aki
    Look at reality!
[13:30] yu
    I'm having fun in the Defense Club.
[13:32] yu
    And in the Battle Lovers, too!
[13:34] yu
    I think it's amazing to
    knuckle down and work hard,
[13:37] yu
    but won't that eventually
    lead you to a dead end?
[13:39] yu
    It's wonderful to do stuff for
    some person or some goal, too...
[13:44] yu
    But in the end, doesn't it come
    down to whether you like it or not?
[13:48] haru
    You make me sick!
[13:50] haru
    Losers, stand aside!
[13:52] aki
    We aim for the top!
[13:54] ryu
    Who are you calling losers?

    Ryuu!
[14:03] atsu
    Io!

    Doing something to be better than
    others is the dumbest thing there is!
[14:08] yu
    I'd rather have people say
    "he sucks, but I like him"
[14:10] yu
    or "he's awkward, but I like him."
[14:13] yu
    If someone told me they liked
    me because I'm the best...
[14:15] yu
    I'd hate that!
[14:16] aki
    Stop dreaming!
[14:17] haru
    Being an idol is a business!
[14:19] haru
    The business of giving dreams to others!
[14:21] yu
    But is there love there?!
[14:24] both
    No!
[14:25] all
    What?!
[14:28] wom
    A complete repudiation of love?!
[14:30] kusa
    They're still capable of
    pushing back against Hakone Yumoto?
[14:33] haru
    What idols need aren't dreams, but lies!
[14:36] aki
    You trick people, deceive them, entice them.
[14:39] aki
    That's what it means...
[14:41] both
    ...to be an idol!
[14:45] haru
    Everything we've done has been for Gorar-san!
[14:48] aki
    All of it for this day!

    We belong to Gorar-san...

    And Gorar-san belongs to us!

    What do you mean?

    If it's a contest of feelings,

    Yumoto's are going to be
    stronger than VEPPer's.

    Overwhelmingly so.

    No! Bro! Come back to me!

    What we're seeing...
