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**
I am...
**[08:55] yu**
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!
**[09:07] mon**
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**
Love Making!
**[09:45] mon**
I don't think so!
**[09:54] yu**
The Lovracelets... disappeared?

**[10:08] ryu**
Wow, you can really see the tan line!
**[10:10] atsu**
Focus on the real issue!
**[10:12] mon**
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!
**[10:31] mon**
Your faces and voices are blur-free
**[10:34] mon**
and exposed!
**[10:36] en**
No way!
**[10:37] mon**
Yes way!
**[10:41] atsu**
En-chan!
**[10:42] at**
I don't know who you're working for,
**[10:45] at**
but this is a violation of privacy laws!
**[10:49] mon**
You won't need privacy when you're dead!
**[10:51] ryu**
Why, you...
**[10:53] io**
We won't let you...
**[10:55] ryu**
I can't move!
**[10:56] at**
En-chan!
**[10:57] yu**
Darn it.
**[10:58] yu**
This weirdo wouldn't be able
**[11:00] yu**
to push us around if we could Love Making!
**[11:03] mon**
Sorry, but that's not in your futures!
**[11:05] mon**
Sleep in the hour of repose known as death!
**[11:14] goro**
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**
Hold on!
**[11:43] goro**
Clean this up first!
**[11:45] goro**
Yumoto.
**[11:46] yu**
Yes?
**[11:47] 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?
***SIGN*** Monthly

**[12:23] ryu**
Hey! That's my GUNP!
**[12:27] mon**
You snuck up on me! You cowards!
**[12:28] en**
No, you just weren't paying attention.
**[12:31] ryu**
Give it back!
**[12:37] io**
Ryuu!

Time Stopping Monster-san!
**[12:40] atsu**
We'd like a word with you.
**[12:42] mon**
Oh? I'll hear you out.
**[12:44] en**
What, he's okay being called *that*?
**[12:46] atsu**
We need to go and see off
some friends at the airport.
**[12:50] atsu**
You can read that if you want,
**[12:51] atsu**
so can we meet you back here?
**[12:53] ryu**
Huh? That's my GUNP!
**[12:54] mon**
I see!
**[12:55] mon**
Stop the time on the fight, then?
**[12:58] atsu**
That's right!
**[12:58] atsu**
Exactly!
**[12:59] mon**
It won't be that easy!
**[13:02] ryu**
Hey! My GUNP!
**[13:04] io**
That's property damage!
**[13:05] ryu**
Now you'll pay!
**[13:06] io**
Although we always intended to make you pay!
**[13:10] yu**
Hey, quit getting sand
all over the club room!
**[13:14] en**
Wait!
**[13:15] mon**
Without your Love Power,
**[13:17] mon**
you are no match for me!
**[13:23] hi**
Look at that.
**[13:25] hi**
They're as pathetic as turtles
turned over onto their backs.
**[13:27] tsu**
Stop it.
**[13:29] tsu**
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.
**[13:37] dada**
They'll be pulverized, at this rate.
**[13:45] mon**
Now... It's time to end this!
**[13:50] wom**
Hey! Hold on a minute!
**[13:54] yu**

**[14:13] atsu**
What?
**[14:14] atsu**
You used to say you weren't a wombat.
**[14:17] wom**
Now that I am here, there's no need to fear!
**[14:21] wom**
You who are without love...
**[14:23] wom**
At last, love is... love will...
**[14:29] yu**
Wom-san, you're so wriggly!
**[14:31] wom**
Anyway, put these on already!
**[14:39] wom**
I thought something like this might happen,
**[14:41] wom**
so here are your new True Lovracelets!
**[14:44] ryu**
He thought something
like this might happen?
**[14:47] io**
We have to transform again?

a question for you.
**[00:21] haru**
What is an idol?
**[00:23] aki**
One with overwhelming power,
who cannot be replaced.
**[00:27] aki**
Haru, blazing deceiver wreathed in light,
**[00:31] aki**
a question for you.
**[00:33] aki**
What is an idol?
**[00:34] haru**
One who guides and commands the world.
**[00:39] haru**
The object of worship for all things
in creation. That is what we will be.
**[00:44] aki**
No... what we must be.
**[00:47] both**
This is the vow we have made to the universe!
**[00:55] aki**
And if anyone...
**[00:57] haru**
...opposes us...
**[00:59] both**
We'll destroy them.

Envy?
**[02:50] ai**
Wrath?
**[02:51] ai**
No.
**[02:52] ai**
There is a sin that causes
even more suffering.
**[02:55] ai**
That sin is...
**[02:59] ai**
Beauty!
***SIGN*** Ouso Tsukuro

Truly, beauty is the greatest sin!
**[03:11] stu**
That guy's such a creep.
**[03:12] stu**
He says he has twenty TVs...
**[03:14] stu**
And that he's best friends
with celebrities and stuff.
**[03:16] stu**
Not even little kids try to pull
those kinds of lies nowadays.
**[03:19] stu**
This one time, I lost it and said "Oh,
yeah? Then let's see your ten pet lions!"
**[03:24] stu**
and started walking to his house.
**[03:26] stu**
What happened?
**[03:27] stu**
On the way there, he
started writhing in pain.
**[03:30] stu**
How come?
**[03:31] stu**
He said a long time ago, an alien placed
a curse on his right hand and his heart,
**[03:34] stu**
and it had just started acting up.
**[03:37] stu**
Oh, please. What a geek.
**[03:38] stu**
I couldn't believe it. I started
feeling kind of sorry for him.
**[03:41] ai**
They're not lies!
**[03:42] stu**
So I just went home.
**[03:43] ai**
They're not lies!
**[03:46] ai**
Why won't anyone believe me?!
**[03:50] stu**
What the hell?
**[03:51] ai**
In my mind, I can see the 4K TVs,
**[03:54] ai**
the lions, and the aliens clear as day!
**[04:03] ai**
Is it that they're too beguiled by my beauty?
**[04:07] ai**
I confuse them so badly,
**[04:09] ai**
they refuse to believe the things I say?
**[04:11] ai**
Is it this sorrow that makes me beautiful?
**[04:16] ai**
That's it!
**[04:17] ai**
Beauty is sorrow.
**[04:20] haru**
*Fool.*
**[04:21] haru**
*Beauty is strength.*
**[04:24] aki**
*Wrong.*
**[04:25] aki**
*Beauty is wit.*

Who's there?
**[04:28] ai**
Aliens?
**[04:29] ai**
My real mommy?
**[04:31] ai**
Or some charming,
**[04:33] ai**

**[04:35] haru**
Wrong and wrong, stupid.
**[04:37] aki**
Although "devil" was closest, I suppose.
**[04:43] haru**
You see, we want...
**[04:46] both**
To corrupt you.
**[04:47] aki**
That's why we're here.

Already time for the pretty

I wonder who'll win this time.

You're so ignorant.
**[05:02] ai**
To stand atop something so small
**[05:05] ai**
is a miniscule concern.
**[05:08] ai**
I've met the people who stand
**[05:11] ai**

**[05:14] ai**
One like the sun who makes my blood run hot,

chills my soul to the core!

Look, we've had enough.

You're...

We're supposed to be joining

**[05:50] haru**
Are our faces that weird to you?
**[05:52] aki**
Haru.
**[05:53] aki**
You mustn't be so confrontational.
**[05:55] aki**
I'm sure they've rarely seen our like before.
**[05:57] aki**
They've never seen exchange students, either.
**[06:00] haru**
Oh, I see.
**[06:02] haru**
Anyway, pleased to meet you.

No, it is *we* who are pleased!

Arriving like a bolt out of the blue,

Beppu Haruhiko-san and Akihiko-san.
**[06:19] kino**
What are your hobbies?
**[06:21] haru**
Bonsai, gardening, and
horseback riding, I suppose.
**[06:24] haru**
Although I don't think I'll
be able to do that here.
**[06:27] aki**
I enjoy calligraphy.
**[06:29] aki**
And I love to play Hungarian
Pastoral Fantasy on the flute.
**[06:33] kino**
Yes, yes, yes!
**[06:34] kino**
How celebrity and executive of you!
**[06:37] kino**
So, any intention to participate
in the Pretty Boy Contest?
**[06:40] haru**
What's that?
**[06:41] aki**
We only just moved here,
**[06:43] aki**
so we're still getting our bearings.
**[06:47] ai**
All questions must go through me!
**[06:50] kino**
And who are you, exactly?
**[06:52] ai**
I'm their number one worshipper and caretaker!
**[06:56] sm**
Isn't that nice?
**[06:57] bu**
Interesting!
**[07:00] bu**
I can feel my biceps humming.
**[07:03] sm**
I invite you to a duel of neurons!
**[07:05] en**
I've been thinking...
**[07:08] atsu**
What?
***SIGN*** Earth Defense Club (lol)
**[07:08] io**
About what?
**[07:10] en**
What are the conditions for
being a main character?
**[07:13] atsu**
You've lost me.
**[07:15] en**
In the TV show known as life,
**[07:18] en**
there's a clear difference between main
characters and a side character, right?
**[07:21] atsu**
True.
**[07:23] en**
So what separates a main
character and a side character?
**[07:25] atsu**
Good question.
**[07:28] en**
The kinds of people
**[07:29] en**
who don't appear until 8 minutes
and 30 seconds into the episode
**[07:32] en**
can't be the main characters, right?
**[07:33] en**
No, they can't.
**[07:34] atsu**
I think it's okay, as long as they
get a lot to do in the second half.
**[07:38] en**
Oh, really?
**[07:39] atsu**
Of course, I'm a side-character type,
**[07:41] atsu**
so I don't know a lot about main characters.
**[07:44] io**
Oh, no.
**[07:45] io**
You're definitely a leading
man, Kinugawa-senpai.
**[07:47] io**
Like tofu in broth.
**[07:49] atsu**
Does that count as a leading man?
**[07:52] ryu**
I love tofu!
**[07:54] ryu**
You can kill a man with it!
**[07:56] en**
It's a deadly weapon?
**[07:57] en**
But I suppose Atsushi can be frightening
in the right circumstances.
**[08:00] tsu**
What are you talking about?
**[08:02] tsu**
I'm hesitant in everything,
**[08:04] tsu**
even when fighting as the Battle Lovers.
**[08:06] en**
The fact that you can say that without batting
an eye just makes you more frightening.
**[08:09] io**
Actually, yeah.
**[08:10] ryu**
Good point.
**[08:12] wom**
Please, please, please, please stop!
**[08:13] yu**
Speaking of which,
**[08:14] yu**
there's something I've been
thinking about for a while.
**[08:16] yu**
Could that monster we fought
be a leftover from last time?
**[08:19] en**
No way.
**[08:22] en**
There's no way you've been thinking
about that for a while, Yumoto.
**[08:25] io**
That's the part you're denying?
**[08:26] ryu**
He probably just thought of it.
**[08:28] atsu**
Now, now.
**[08:29] atsu**
Let's hear him out.
**[08:31] atsu**
So?
**[08:32] yu**
The student council didn't send him out,
**[08:35] yu**
and Wom-san probably didn't, either.
**[08:36] yu**
So what could it be?
**[08:38] wom**
W-Wait a moment!
**[08:39] wom**
What's all this "Wom-san *probably* didn't" stuff?!
**[08:43] yu**
Don't you worry!
**[08:45] yu**
No matter what happens,
**[08:46] yu**
I believe you, Wom-san!
**[08:49] wom**
You do not!
**[08:50] wom**
You clearly do not!
**[08:50] en**
Well, we saw what you did to Mr. Tawarayama.
**[08:55] wom**
The life I brought slipped out!

Huh?

Hey, what's that supposed to mean?
**[10:12] yu**
Speaking of which. In front of my house...
**[10:14] en**
Yumoto's defaulting to "speaking
of which" a lot today.
**[10:17] atsu**
In the real world,
who actually says, "speaking of which"?
**[10:22] en**
Same with "The aforementioned"

**[10:24] en**
or "Such-and-such"...

See?
**[11:56] yu**
It's there, like I said!
**[11:58] atsu**
When did they put up a building like this?
**[12:00] ryu**
It looks like a castle.
**[12:02] en**
Looks like a love hotel.
**[12:04] io**
Nah, love hotels are cheaper than that.
**[12:06] io**
This thing's at least two million yen per square meter.
**[12:09] en**
How do you know that?
**[12:11] en**
Instinct?
**[12:12] io**
I do have my real estate
broker license, you know.
**[12:15] yu**
Do you think it's a house?
**[12:18] atsu**
If it's not a love hotel, it must be.
**[12:21] en**
I could have done without hearing
Atsushi say "love hotel."
**[12:25] ryu**
Same here.
**[12:26] io**
I agree.
**[12:27] atsu**
Why?!
**[12:28] yu**
What's a love hotel?
**[12:33] en**
What is this feeling? Motherly instinct?
**[12:35] atsu**
The smell of innocence.
**[12:37] atsu**
It's so soothing!
**[12:38] io**
Never change, Yumoto.
**[12:40] ryu**
Yes, remain ignorant!
**[12:42] yu**
Hey! What was that?!

A true heir to the throne of love!

Darn it!

Oh, are you customers?

Come on in! The bath's open right now!

Did you hear that? "Customers," he says.
**[12:57] aki**
Let it go, Haru. That's the class
of person we're dealing with.
**[13:01] aki**
We've moved into the house across the way.
**[13:04] yu**
Oh, really?
**[13:06] yu**
We were saying, it looks like
a love hotel! Just amazi—
**[13:11] en**
We apologize on his behalf.
**[13:13] atsu**
He just meant that it was very impressive.
**[13:16] haru**
We won't forget your face, Hakone Yumoto.
**[13:19] aki**
I'm sure we'll be speaking again, very soon.

Tofu is made from soybeans, you know!

Tofu doesn't judge!

Stop wasting food!

Hey, he's from C class...
**[19:45] io**
Oh, I remember him.
**[19:47] atsu**
Someone definitely made him a monster, then.
**[19:50] yu**
Speaking of which, we forgot to
ask about the monsters' boss!
**[19:54] en**
That's a proper use of "speaking
of which," at least.
**[20:05] yu**
Senpai!
**[20:06] yu**
What's that there?
**[20:10] haru**
Five of them, and not a
decent-looking one in the bunch.
**[20:12] haru**
Just trash from start to finish.
**[20:14] aki**
Really?
**[20:15] aki**
I suppose there might be one
or two eccentrics out there
**[20:18] aki**
who they might appeal to.
**[20:21] yu**
What was that, you guys?!
**[20:23] ryu**
If they're blurring their faces like that...
**[20:26] io**
They must be using advanced
technology like ours.
**[20:30] en**
And they seem to be naturally rude.
**[20:32] atsu**
Not pleasant at all.
**[20:35] haru**
I see no reason to be
considerate of your feelings.
**[20:39] aki**
We're inconsiderately
**[20:41] aki**
going to be wiping you out soon, after all.
**[20:45] ryu**
The hell do you mean "wiping us out"?
**[20:48] haru**
We, the VEPPer,
**[20:49] haru**
cannot allow your continued existence.
**[20:53] haru**
Understand, loser nerds?
**[20:55] io**
Are you trying to pick a fight with us?
**[20:58] aki**
Did you finally catch on?
**[21:01] aki**
You're awfully slow on the
uptake. It worries me.
**[21:10] dada**
That's enough for today.
**[21:13] dada**
We don't want you catching
their nerd lameness.
**[21:16] aki**
You're so right, Dadacha.
**[21:19] haru**
Well, you're not going to have
a comfortable night from now on.
**[21:22] haru**
Keep that in mind, loser nerds.
**[21:24] en**
Wait, you...
**[21:29] yu**
Just who were those guys?
**[21:39] go**
What's all this?
**[21:40] haru**
You're horribly in our way, apes.
**[21:42] aki**
Come on, you're making trouble.
**[21:45] aki**
Make way.
**[21:52] haru**
Chopping wood?
**[21:53] aki**
That must be hard work.
**[21:54] go**
Oh, thank you.
**[21:57] both**
Excuse us.
**[22:10] go**
What was that all about?
**[22:20] guard**
We, the Beppu Apes
**[22:21] guard**

Big bro...
**[00:23] (Flashback) go**
Were you in a fight?
**[00:24] (Flashback) yu**
I didn't hit them...
**[00:26] (Flashback) yu**
because you always tell me...

it's not good to hit friends...
**[00:31] (Flashback) go**
They hit you, but you didn't fight back?
**[00:37] (Flashback) go**
Good job, Yumoto.
**[00:39] (Flashback) yu**
Big bro!
**[00:41] (Flashback) go**
Listen, Yumoto. The moon is
there, even during the day.
**[00:47] (Flashback) go**
Morning and night, it stands
watch over you from the sky.
**[00:51] (Flashback) go**
And me, too.
**[00:52] (Flashback) go**
When you're suffering, when
you're sad, look up at the sky.

So, Yumoto. What was that about
reading to kindergarteners?
**[03:36] yu**
You'll do it, En-chan-senpai?!
**[03:39] en**
No, I don't think I could
handle reading to little kids.
**[03:43] at**
It sounds like a nice idea, but...
**[03:45] ryu**
It would be one thing if it were a

I never volunteer my services

Yes.

I am Katari Tagaru.
***SIGN*** Katari Tagaru
**[04:22] kat**
Representative of the Binan High School
association, the Speaking Poets Society.
**[04:25] kat**
Because! To enjoy something is to speak

**[04:30] kat**
Humans are speaking mammals.
**[04:31] kat**
I am the world's mouthpiece!
**[04:34] ryu**
Yeah, he's a crazy.

He called himself a representative,

Yeah, I feel my soul crying out to

**[04:45] at**
Well, Katari-kun. See you later.
**[04:47] yu**
What are you guys doing?
**[04:48] yu**
What about reading to the kindergartners?
**[04:50] kat**
Nothing!
**[04:52] kat**
The art of recitation is beyond them!
**[04:54] kat**
Nonsense!
**[04:55] kat**
Only I can handle it!
**[04:58] haru**
What are you trembling for?
**[05:00] haru**
Are you mad?
**[05:02] aki**
Stop it, Haru.
**[05:04] aki**
I know that angry people are funny,
**[05:06] aki**
but if you tease them, they
might take it out on you.
**[05:09] kat**
You two...
**[05:10] kat**
You're the Beppu siblings
everyone's talking about.
**[05:12] haru**
Yes.
**[05:13] haru**
I am Haruhiko, the younger.

Together, we are...

Now, why are you...
**[05:24] haru**
...mad at the Defense Club?
**[05:26] ka**
Because!
**[05:27] ka**
I say "no thank you" to any
out-loud reading done by them!
**[05:30] ka**
Such an act requires expressiveness!
**[05:32] ka**
That's something only I can do!
**[05:35] haru**
I don't quite get it...
**[05:36] aki**
...but you *are* very funny!
**[05:40] dada**
He seems usable.
**[05:42] dada**
This is our chance to crush
the Defense Club into bit parts.
**[05:45] aki**
Crush them into bit parts?
**[05:47] both**
Nice one.
**[05:49] en**
Seriously, it's not happening.
**[05:53] en**
I'm not reciting any folktales
to kindergartners.
**[05:56] ryu**
Yeah, same.
**[05:57] ryu**
Reciting pillow talk to
high school girls, maybe.
**[06:00] io**
Sorry to repeat myself,
but I don't work for free.
**[06:03] at**
We've been through this over and over again.
**[06:05] yu**
But I really want to do it!
**[06:08] wom**
Everyone, the volunteer spirit
is the very foundation of love!
**[06:11] wom**
To give is, itself, love!
Why won't you do it?!
**[06:15] en**
'Cause it's a pain in the neck?
**[06:17] at**
But folktales are surprisingly
trendy, aren't they?
**[06:20] at**
I always used to watch that anime,
**[06:22] at**
*"Folktales From Japan".*
**[06:25] en**
Well, *The Crane's Gift* and
*Momotaro* and such aside,
**[06:29] en**
there's The *Crying Red Ogre* and
other obscure classics, I suppose.
**[06:33] io**
And the story of *The Gold
Axe and the Silver Axe*
**[06:36] io**
contains good advice for those
entering the world of investment.
**[06:39] io**
"When a deal sounds too good,
there's always a catch."
**[06:42] ryu**
I think *Urashima Taro* is my favorite.
**[06:45] ryu**
That Otohime, you know?
**[06:47] ryu**
I'd go a summer-long romance with her!
**[06:50] yu**
I always liked *Jizo and the Hats*!
**[06:53] yu**
My brother and I used to
play Jizo and the Hats!
**[06:55] at**
"Play"?
**[06:56] yu**
It's a game we'd play on snowy
days. We'd weave hats out of sedge.
***SIGN*** Candy
***SIGN*** Sweet Dumplings
**[06:59] yu**
Then I had to give them to the Jizo statues
without trading them for snacks in town.
**[07:03] en**
That's a game? Really?
**[07:05] yu**
My brother used fun games to
teach me all kinds of things.
**[07:10] en**
Really?
**[07:11] at**
Gora-san is truly an inscrutible person.
**[07:13] yu**
The Jizo and the Hats game...
**[07:15] yu**
that really takes me back...
**[07:17] yu**
One day when it snowed, I
was five years old, I think.
**[07:21] (Flashback) go**
Listen, Yumoto.
**[07:23] (Flashback) go**
I'm heading out for work.
**[07:26] (Flashback) go**
I want you to do something
nice while I'm gone.
**[07:30] (Flashback) go**
That's right.
**[07:30] (Flashback) go**
Take these hats to the Jizo
statues outside of town.
**[07:35] (Flashback) go**
Don't stray from the path no matter what.
**[07:38] (Flashback) go**
Got it?
**[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...
**[08:54] (Flashback) go**
Yumoto...
**[08:55] (Flashback) go**
You did a very good thing.
**[08:57] (Flashback) yu**
Bro...
**[09:00] at**
Gora-san came to watch, huh?
**[09:02] yu**
Yeah.
**[09:03] yu**
Because the snow was falling
so hard, and he got worried.
**[09:07] ryu**
Your brother sounds like a real worrywart.
**[09:10] at**
Like a parent watching over a
kid running their first errand.
**[09:12] wom**
Gora-san's brotherly love for
Yumoto-san is higher than the sky
**[09:16] wom**
and deeper than the sea!
**[09:19] yu**
Anyway, I want to tell
little kids those folktales
**[09:22] yu**
just like my brother did for me.
**[09:25] gora**
Yumoto...
**[09:27] at**
So, what should we do?
**[09:28] ryu**
If Yumoto wants to do it that badly...
**[09:31] io**
It's hard to refuse out of hand.
**[09:32] io**
Even if I must work for free.
**[09:34] en**
Are you guys seriously leaning
towards reading to the kids?
**[09:41] yu**
Big bro, what's wrong?
**[09:42] go**
Yumoto, reading to others *is* love!
**[09:45] go**
Do it right.
**[09:52] yu**
Yeah! Bro, I'll do my best!
**[09:55] en**
Yeah, we're definitely gonna end
up reading to the kids, aren't we?
**[09:59] at**
Looks like it.

Just what are they planning to
read to those kindergartners?
**[10:53] kat**
When...
**[10:54] kat**
The moment any one of
them flubs even slightly,
**[10:56] kat**
I shall mercilessly hijack their performance!
**[11:00] yu**
I really think I want to do the story
of *Jizo and the Hats* for the kids.
**[11:05] yu**
What do you think?
**[11:07] ryu**
It doesn't really matter to me.
**[11:09] io**
I also have no objection, aside
from the lack of compensation.
**[11:13] yu**
This reminded me.
**[11:15] yu**
It's because my brother read
folktales to me every night
**[11:18] yu**
that I never felt lonely as a child.
**[11:22] at**
Your parents have been gone that long?
**[11:25] yu**
Yeah! Bro says they're busy
with their hot springs tour.
**[11:31] en**
That seems a bit suspect.
**[11:32] at**
Well, I guess everyone
has their circumstances.
**[11:35] io**
Does that mean Gora-san's been
your caretaker in every respect?
**[11:40] yu**
Yeah!
**[11:41] yu**
From feeding me to brushing my
teeth, my brother did it all!
**[11:45] yu**
My brother's lap was so warm...
**[11:50] yu**
What is this feeling?
**[11:52] at**
It tugs at the heart strings, huh?
**[11:54] wom**
Because Gora-san looked after him even
when he was still in high school himself!
**[11:59] io**
I brushed my own teeth, at least.
**[12:02] io**
Even as a child.
**[12:03] en**
Hey, didn't we forbid you from
talking about tooth-brushing?

Thanks, Bro!

But we're reading to kids.
We're not waging war.

Life is an ongoing battle to

Got it, Bro!

Look at him!
**[13:00] haru**
Does he really think he's
worthy to eat those riceballs?

Look at him, stuffing his face
without a care in the world...
**[13:06] aki**
It's unforgivable.

Flames of jealousy allow

**[13:18] kat**
*Jizo and the Hats* is about a
poor yet kind elderly couple
**[13:22] kat**
who find Jizo statues on the
roadside covered in snow,
**[13:25] kat**
and give them the sedge hats they made to
sell for money to them, expecting no reward.
**[13:29] kat**
Then, later,
**[13:30] kat**
the Jizo statues come to return
the favor in heartwarming fashion.
**[13:34] kat**
Difficult!
**[13:36] kat**
There's no way the Defense

Shh! He's probably a crazy!

Hey, it's starting!

So why are we the Jizo statues?
**[13:48] at**
Is now the time?
**[13:49] io**
We ended up doing it as a performance.
**[13:53] io**
I don't like to admit it,
**[13:55] io**
but I invested a lot of my
personal funds into this set.
**[13:59] yu**
Wow!
**[14:00] yu**
Cool!
**[14:01] yu**
It really looks just like
the world of a folktale!
**[14:06] gora**
Yumoto...
**[14:08] both**
I don't like it.
**[14:12] yu**
Oh! I have failed to sell
my hats once again today!
**[14:14] kat**
Not great!

What a stiff reading!
**[14:18] gora**
Excellent job, Yumoto.
**[14:19] gora**
You're doing perfectly.
**[14:21] yu**
How awful!
**[14:23] yu**
These Jizo statues are covered in snow!
**[14:26] yu**
I have got to help them!
**[14:32] yu**
I am lacking one hat!
**[14:34] yu**
What am I to do?

I know!

So cold!

**[02:28] yu**
Oh yeah, senpai!
**[02:30] yu**
You hear this a lot at barbers
and beauty shops and stuff.
**[02:33] yu**
"Do you feel itchy anywhere?"
**[02:36] en**
I guess you still do hear that.
**[02:38] atsu**
Yeah, that's a line you only
hear at places like that.
**[02:43] yu**
But I hear twins know that
kind of thing without asking!
**[02:47] yu**
If their twin is feeling itchy or something.
**[02:49] ryu**
Seriously?
**[02:50] yu**
Seriously!
**[02:51] ryu**
Which means they can seriously
scratch anywhere they feel itchy?
**[02:53] yu**
They seriously can!
**[02:54] yu**
Twins are amazing, huh?
**[02:56] yu**
They know just where the other feels itchy!
**[02:59] en**
Hey Atsushi, why are we talking about twins?
**[03:04] atsu**
It's probably because of those Italian twins
**[03:07] atsu**
transferring here right on the
heels of the Beppu Siblings.
**[03:10] en**
Another set of twins?
**[03:12] en**
And why are they Italian?
**[03:14] atsu**
That's a very good question.
**[03:17] yu**
They're the Salvatores,
and they're really rugged.
**[03:20] io**
When you say "rugged," you
mean their facial features?
**[03:22] ryu**
What else could he mean?
**[03:24] io**
Well, lots of other things...
**[03:27] en**
Like sideburns or chest hair, or something.
**[03:29] ai**
Yeah, I bet they've got that.
**[03:32] en**
They say someone rich in
hair is also rich in spirit.
**[03:35] en**
Is that true?
**[03:37] atsu**
I don't know.
**[03:38] atsu**
I think it's an old wives tale?
**[03:40] yu**
Rich in hair means rich in spirit?
**[03:43] yu**
I guess that's why Gora is like that!
**[03:46] en**
Gora is hairy?
**[03:48] atsu**
He doesn't give off that vibe...
**[03:51] yu**
Well, he's hairier than me!
**[03:52] ryu**
That's just because you're smooth all over.
**[03:56] ryu**
But yeah, I've heard that, too.
**[03:58] ryu**
The rich in hair and spirit thing.
**[04:00] io**
I've heard that, too.
**[04:02] io**
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!

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**
The Piercing Prince

Finishing Move: Epinard Love Hurricane
**[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?
**[11:08] alan**
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!
**[11:30] aki**
Then...
**[11:30] haru**
...we'll grant your wish.

You are the ones who will feel the power!
**[14:58] en**
He said his real name.
**[15:00] atsu**
Yes, he did.
**[15:01] en**
But what did he say?
**[15:03] en**
That's chest hair?
**[15:04] atsu**
If he says it is, I guess it is.
**[15:07] en**
Overdoing it, isn't he?
**[15:08] ryu**
Over-overdoing it.
**[15:10] io**
Overdoing it so badly, you couldn't pay me ten
million yen to look straight at it.
**[15:14] yu**
You! How did you become a monster?
**[15:17] yu**
Who did this to you?
**[15:18] mon**
That does not matter!
**[15:20] mon**
I will defeat you to vent my complex
**[15:24] mon**
over my brother's chest hair!
**[15:26] en**
He just stated his motivation
in the clearest terms possible.
**[15:29] atsu**
Though it's still incomprehensible.
**[15:31] en**
I don't even care if someone
has chest hair or not.
**[15:36] ryu**
Clean-shaven is more the fashion
nowadays anyway, right?
**[15:39] io**
Yeah. I can't understand it.
**[15:41] alan**
You could never understand!
**[15:45] yu**
I kind of do!
**[15:47] alan**
What?!
**[15:48] en**
Seriously?
**[15:49] atsu**
He understands?
**[15:50] yu**
Yeah!
**[15:51] yu**
Because my brother Gora is hairy and manly,
**[15:55] yu**
and I'm a little jealous of that!
**[15:58] haru**
Is Gora-san hairier than he looks?
**[16:02] haru**
He is very manly, after all.
**[16:04] aki**
I never knew!
**[16:06] haru**
I really can't stand Hakone Yumoto.
**[16:09] haru**
How dare he know everything about Gora-san!
**[16:11] aki**
Get him, Chest Hair Monster!
**[16:13] dada**
Attack!
**[16:15] alan**
Take this! Hairball Beam!

What?!

Oh, boy... are you kidding me?
**[16:23] atsu**
This is really something...
**[16:24] ryu**
What's going on?!
**[16:25] io**
Please don't look!
**[16:27] yu**
This is all extremely embarrassing!
**[16:30] mon**
Behold, the power of the Hairball Beam!
**[16:34] haru**
How funny!
**[16:35] aki**
A plan to weaken the enemy
through embarrassment?
**[16:40] mon**
Next, I will give you fantastic chest hair!
**[16:45] mon**
Chained Chest Hair Beam!
**[16:48] atsu**
Chained? What?
**[16:50] atsu**
I don't understand.
**[16:57] en**
Oh, is that what "chained" means?
**[17:00] atsu**
I don't think this is the
best time to be impressed.
**[17:03] mon**
Are you not happy to have
such wonderful chest hair?
**[17:06] ryu**
No, not at all!
**[17:08] atsu**
What do we do about this, anyway?
**[17:10] yu**
Is doing this really making you happy?
**[17:12] mon**
What?!
**[17:14] yu**
I'm asking!
**[17:16] yu**
Is having that fake chest hair,
giving us fake chest hair...
**[17:18] yu**
Does that really make you happy?
**[17:22] mon**
Of course it does!
**[17:23] mon**
Chest hair is everything!
**[17:24] mon**
Chest hair is what makes you an Italian boy!
**[17:26] mon**
Bravo, chest hair!
**[17:29] mon**
So, what do we do about this?
**[17:31] atsu**
This monster's a real pain.
**[17:33] ryu**
When they start getting annoying,
don't we usually just purge them?
**[17:36] io**
We wave our little sticks and end it!
**[17:39] wom**
You guys are really raring to go for once!
**[17:42] yu**
No!
**[17:44] en**
Um... why not, exactly?
**[17:46] yu**
Even if we beat him,
**[17:48] yu**
it won't cure him of his
complex about his big brother!
**[17:51] yu**
We need to get them to make up!
**[17:54] en**
I can't entirely deny the logic there...
**[17:56] atsu**
In other words...
**[17:58] yu**
Wom-san, find his big brother!
**[18:01] wom**
Roger that!
**[18:03] ryu**
So do we just stay like this until then?
**[18:05] io**
It appears that we do.
**[18:09] mon**
You make a grand sight
with all that chest hair!
**[18:15] wom**
Everyone!
**[18:16] wom**
Here is the monster's brother, Bernardo-san!
**[18:19] en**
That was fast.
**[18:20] ryu**
*Too* fast!
**[18:22] yu**
That's our Wom-san!
**[18:24] ber**
Alan... is that you, Alan?!
**[18:26] al**
Yes it is, brother!
**[18:28] al**
But I am no longer the Alan you once knew!
**[18:31] al**
Look at this magnificent
chest hair that I have now!
**[18:35] ryu**
I cannot even comprehend why he wants that.
**[18:38] io**
I'm even more baffled than when
one of my investments failed.
**[18:42] yu**
Bernardo!
**[18:43] yu**
You're the only one who can save him!
**[18:46] yu**
You're his big brother!
**[18:48] ber**
Alan...
**[18:50] ber**
I had no idea that my chest hair
was causing you so much pain!
**[18:54] mon**
It is just as I said!
**[18:55] mon**
You could not understand how I feel!
**[18:58] mon**
We were twins, with the
same face, the same body,
**[19:01] mon**
always with the same thoughts
and the same dreams!
**[19:05] mon**
So why am I the only one
deprived of chest hair?!
**[19:10] ber**
Is that why you
**[19:11] ber**
would no longer go to the thermae with me?
**[19:14] mon**
That is right!
**[19:16] mon**
Your chest hair was so
dazzling and so enviable,
**[19:18] mon**
I could no longer stand to see it!
**[19:22] ber**
Then...
**[19:23] ber**
I no longer need chest hair!
**[19:25] mon**
What?!
**[19:26] ber**
I say that if I must lose one of you...
**[19:28] ber**
I would rather lose the chest hair!
**[19:31] mon**
You lie!
**[19:32] mon**
I know that you secretly take
great pride in your chest hair!
**[19:34] ber**
It is no lie!
**[19:36] ber**
I shall prove it to you now!
**[19:41] ber**
This pain is nothing!
**[19:45] en**
This took a turn for the amazing.
**[19:47] at**
That's got to sting a little.
**[19:49] ryu**
No, it's probably extremely painful.
**[19:52] yu**
But he's enduring it!
**[19:54] yu**
Because he wants to make up with his
little brother, even if it hurts!
**[19:58] en**
*This* is bringing tears to your eyes?
**[20:00] haru**
Damn that Hakone Yumoto.
**[20:02] haru**
He got in our way!
**[20:04] aki**
That wolf in sheep's clothing...
**[20:06] yu**
You!
**[20:07] yu**
Do you see the pain your brother's in?
**[20:10] yu**
But he's enduring it
**[20:12] yu**
because he loves you so much!
**[20:15] yu**
He wants to make amends
**[20:17] yu**
and restore your loving sibling relationship!
**[20:20] ber**
That is right!
**[20:21] ber**
To get that back,
**[20:22] ber**
I would sacrifice many
hundreds of chest hairs!
**[20:25] mon**
Please, stop it!
**[20:27] mon**
I... It is my fault!
**[20:30] mon**
Please stop, my brother!
**[20:33] en**
They made up?
**[20:34] at**
But we're still stuck here?
**[20:37] io**
I guess we actually have to purge him.

**[00:22] shi**
What's wrong, Shuzo?!
**[00:24] shi**
Don't shy away from my balls!
**[00:27] shu**
President Munakata...
**[00:28] shu**
I can't take anymore.
**[00:30] shi**
How many times must I tell you?
**[00:32] shi**
The moment you give up
is the moment it's over!
**[00:35] shu**
Then...
**[00:36] shu**
I think it might be over.
**[00:38] shi**
I see.
**[00:40] shi**
It's over, is it?
**[00:42] shi**
Then... *we* are over, too.
**[00:49] shu**
Y-You're horrible!
**[00:52] shi**
Can't anyone handle my balls at full power?
**[00:59] shi**
Attack!
**[01:04] en**
A falling leaf, huh?
**[01:06] atsu**
More accurately, a dead leaf.
**[01:07] ryu**
Huh?
**[01:08] ryu**
Aren't they called autumn leaves?
**[01:09] io**
No, it's fall foliage.
**[01:11] yu**
I guess a lot of things come
falling in autumn, huh?
**[01:15] yu**
For instance...
**[01:15] shi**
Attack!
**[01:21] yu**
Wow!
**[01:23] yu**
It really did come falling!
**[01:26] shi**
He received my ball...
**[01:29] shi**
That's him!
**[01:31] shi**
He's the one I've been looking for...
**[01:33] shi**
the diamond in the rough!

**[03:24] yu**
Excuse me,
**[03:26] yu**
but you're in my way.
**[03:27] yu**
I'm heading for the bathroom...
**[03:29] shi**
It doesn't look like it.
**[03:30] yu**
Huh? I'm at my limit, actually.
**[03:33] shi**
A man who can keep his cool when
his bladder's at the brink.
**[03:37] shi**
Exceptional mental discipline.
**[03:38] shi**
No wonder you could receive my balls.
**[03:42] yu**
"My balls"?
**[03:44] shi**
I am Muna! Kata!
**[03:46] shi**
Shigoki!
**[03:47] yu**
Munakata Shigoki?
**[03:49] shi**
President of the Binan High
School volleyball club!
**[03:52] yu**
Oh...
**[03:52] yu**
Oh, you got a ballet dancer
as your club advisor by mistake!
**[03:56] shi**
We've been working without
an advisor since then.
**[03:59] yu**
Really?
**[04:00] yu**
I'm glad to hear it!
**[04:01] yu**
Well, I'm off to the bathroom...
**[04:03] shi**
First, you must decide.
**[04:05] shi**
Will you join my volleyball club, or not?
**[04:08] yu**
Me?
**[04:09] shi**
If you join, I will let you pass.
**[04:12] yu**
Fine.
**[04:13] yu**
Since I'm really gonna wet myself...
**[04:15] shi**
You mean it?
**[04:15] yu**
I mean it!
**[04:17] yu**
So please, hurry...
**[04:17] shi**
I see!
**[04:18] shi**
Then...
**[04:19] shi**
I need four more!
**[04:20] yu**
I've got it handled!
**[04:22] shi**
Good. Go!
**[04:25] shi**
I have my team.
**[04:26] shi**
It's about to begin...
**[04:28] shi**
my burning youth of sweat and tears!
***SIGN*** Earth Defense Club (lol)
**[04:34] en**
Hey, can you spell it?
**[04:37] atsu**
Huh? Spell what?
**[04:38] en**
Volleyball.
**[04:40] atsu**
Yeah, I can spell that.
**[04:41] io**
That's middle-school level vocabulary.
**[04:44] ryu**
That spelling always tripped me up.
**[04:48] en**
What about you, Yumoto?
**[04:50] yu**
Huh? What grade do you think I'm in?
**[04:53] en**
Then what's the first letter?
**[04:55] yu**
It's "bareiball", so B, of course!
**[04:58] en**
I knew it.
**[04:59] yu**
Huh?
**[05:00] yu**
Was I wrong?
**[05:01] io**
It's not B. It's V.
**[05:03] io**
Incidentally, the proper
pronunciation is "volleyball."
**[05:06] yu**
Huh?
**[05:07] yu**
But thinking it started with
a B hasn't hurt me so far.
**[05:11] en**
Well, true enough.
**[05:13] ryu**
Oh, I know!
**[05:15] ryu**
Is that why it's a V-sign?
**[05:20] shi**
What are you all doing here?!
**[05:23] shi**
Time for training!
**[05:24] shi**
Everyone get together!
**[05:25] atsu**
Training?
**[05:26] en**
Who are you again?
**[05:28] shi**
I'm the president of the volleyball club!
**[05:30] shi**
Muna! Kata! Shigoki!
**[05:32] yu**
Oh, that's right!
**[05:34] yu**
As of today, the Defense Club
is joining the volleyball club!
**[05:37] all**
Huh?
**[05:38] yu**
That's weird.
**[05:39] yu**
Here we were, talking about volleyball,
**[05:41] yu**
and I completely forgot to mention it!
**[05:43] en**
You are so...
**[05:46] shi**
Anyway, get changed immediately!
**[05:48] shi**
Meet me in the gym in thirty seconds!
**[05:51] all**
S-Seriously?
**[05:57] shi**
Great job, Yumoto!
**[05:59] shi**
Receive all my balls!
**[06:02] en**
How did we end up in the
volleyball club again?
**[06:05] at**
How did Yumoto needing to
pee get us into this mess?
**[06:09] io**
Darn it...
**[06:10] io**
This is an entirely unprofitable venture.
**[06:14] ryu**
If only there were some
girls watching, at least...
**[06:16] shi**
Hey, you four!
**[06:17] shi**
What are you doing?
**[06:19] shi**
You need to receive my balls, too!
**[06:21] en**
His balls?
**[06:22] io**
I really wish he'd stop saying it
that way. I'm getting the shivers.
**[06:25] at**
The shivers? I wish.
**[06:26] at**
He's so on fire he's giving me heatstroke.
**[06:29] ryu**
His balls, huh?
**[06:31] ryu**
Okay,
**[06:32] ryu**
I'm gonna hit the hell out of them!
**[06:35] ryu**
Bring it!
**[06:37] shi**
Let's go!
**[06:38] shi**
See if you can even touch my balls!
**[06:44] shi**
What are you doing?
**[06:45] shi**
Don't take your eyes off my balls!
**[06:47] at**
He wants us to look at his balls.
**[06:49] en**
I'd really rather not.
**[06:50] io**
Um... can we just go?
**[06:53] en**
Yeah...
**[06:55] shi**
Quit chatting and get on the court!
**[06:58] shi**
All of you, receive my balls together!
**[07:07] shi**
Why are you evading?
**[07:09] shi**
This isn't dodgeball!
**[07:10] shi**
All of you, receive my balls!
**[07:12] yu**
Leave this to me!
**[07:16] en**
Why is he enjoying this so much?
**[07:19] ryu**
Maybe he likes playing with balls?
**[07:21] io**
At least say "he likes ball games."
**[07:26] yu**
Fight!
**[07:27] yu**
Fight!
**[07:29] shi**
Gaze at the setting sun!
**[07:31] shi**
All of you, race for the setting sun!
**[07:33] en**
Sunset on an embankment?
**[07:35] at**
The situation's so cliche I can't
even bring myself to protest.
**[07:47] shi**
A bath is the best after a
steamy day of club activities!
**[07:51] yu**
I agree!
**[07:53] en**
I can't take any more.
**[08:10] haru**
The sound of splitting wood...
**[08:12] aki**
Yes, as always...
**[08:16] haru**
What's wrong?
**[08:17] aki**
Someone's hanging around out there.
**[08:20] haru**
Who is that?
**[08:22] dada**
Dinner's ready.
**[08:25] dada**
Come eat, you two.
**[08:28] shi**
Listen up, you guys!
**[08:30] shi**
If you can recieve my balls, you'll
all be the best in the world...
**[08:32] shi**
no, the best on Earth!
**[08:35] yu**
*President!*
**[08:36] yu**
* How is the "best in the world"*
* different from the "best on Earth"?*
**[08:38] shu**
The president is taking a bath with them.
**[08:41] shu**
And I've never had a bath
with him, even once...
**[08:46] go**
Who are you?
**[08:48] go**
A peeping Tom?
**[08:49] shu**
N-No!
**[08:52] go**
Hey!
**[08:53] go**
Get back here!
**[08:55] go**
He's a quick one.
**[09:00] dada**
Today is toasted dumpling hot pot.
**[09:03] dada**
Go on, eat!
**[09:05] haru**
Why did you decide...
**[09:07] aki**
...to make toasted dumpling hot pot?
**[09:09] dada**
Atmosphere, perhaps? Or for the sound of it?
**[09:12] dada**
The "toast" part sounds
like "warm and toasty!"
**[09:15] haru**
"Toast" doesn't necessarily imply that.
**[09:18] aki**
It can also mean "doomed."
**[09:19] dada**
That's not what it's for!
**[09:22] dada**
I was hoping to warm up your
worn-out bodies and souls,
**[09:25] dada**
after an exhausting day of being idols.
**[09:30] dada**
Eat it and be grateful!
**[09:32] haru**
Warm us up...
**[09:33] aki**
...body and...
**[09:35] both**
...soul?
**[09:37] aki**
Go!
**[09:38] haru**
He's so strong! Go!
**[09:40] (Flashback) haru**
That man always warmed us up...
**[09:43] (Flashback) aki**
...so gently, body and...
**[09:46] (Flashback) both**
...soul...
**[09:51] dada**
Okay!
**[09:52] dada**
It's turned out great!
**[09:55] dada**
Now, eat, you two!
**[09:58] dada**
What's wrong?
**[10:01] haru**
Oh...
**[10:01] aki**
...it's nothing.
**[10:02] both**
Nothing at all!
**[10:05] haru**
By the way, there are no carrots—
**[10:07] aki**
—green peppers in there, right?
**[10:10] dada**
Dammit...
**[10:13] shi**
In the end, you're the only one left.
**[10:16] yu**
Huh?
**[10:17] yu**
You're right.
**[10:19] yu**
That's weird.
**[10:21] yu**
Where'd the others go?
**[10:24] en**
I wonder...
**[10:26] atsu**
Huh? Wonder what?
**[10:28] en**
In Japanese, volleyball is called haikyu.
**[10:32] at**
Yeah, and tennis is called teikyu, right?
**[10:36] at**
And soccer is called shukyu.
**[10:39] ryu**
But how do you write haikyu?
**[10:41] io**
It's the "hai" from "excrement"
with the character for ball.
**[10:44] io**
Excrement ball.
**[10:46] ryu**
The hai from excrement?!
**[10:48] ryu**
Then volleyball is crapping out a ball?
**[10:51] en**
Tennis is played on a court with a ball,
**[10:53] en**
so I can understand why it's
written as "court ball."
**[10:56] en**
And soccer is about kicking a ball,
**[10:58] en**
so I can see why it's written as "kick ball."
**[11:02] at**
But why is volleyball
**[11:04] at**
written with the hai from 'excrement'?
**[11:13] aki**
Here.
**[11:13] boys**
Thank you!
**[11:15] boy**
The Apes will worship you for life!
**[11:17] haru**
No problem.
**[11:18] aki**
Come back any time.
**[11:22] dada**
What kind of hot pot do you want today?
**[11:25] dada**
It's the season for crab,
so how about crab hot pot?
**[11:27] dada**
Or what about oysters?
**[11:30] aki**
Huh? He's...
**[11:33] har**
The one from yesterday...
**[11:38] shi**
Practice is over for today!
**[11:40] shi**
Yumoto, I can't believe
you received all my balls!
**[11:44] shi**
You are truly the diamond in the
rough I've been searching for!
**[11:48] shi**
I'll never let you go!
**[11:50] yu**
President! Thank you!
**[11:53] shu**
*"I'll never let you go"?*
**[11:55] shu**
*President...*
**[11:56] shu**
*I thought those words were only for me.*
**[12:00] shu**
*H-He'll pay.*
**[12:07] haru**
The aroma of jealousy.
**[12:09] aki**
I smell it.

**[12:21] shu**
You'll pay.
**[12:23] shu**
President Munakata...
**[12:25] shu**
You said I was the only one...
**[12:28] shu**
You said you wouldn't ever let me go...
**[12:31] shu**
That time, too...
**[12:33] shu**
That time, too...
**[12:35] shu**
I really thought you'd try to stop me..
**[12:39] shu**
But that little...
**[12:47] haru**
So you really...
**[12:48] aki**
...can't stand it, eh?
**[12:50] shu**
Huh?
**[12:51] shu**
Who are you?
**[12:52] haru**
We're...
**[12:53] aki**
...on your side.
**[12:55] shu**
My side?
**[12:57] haru**
You should make him see your true worth...
**[12:59] aki**
...and regret what he's lost.
**[13:02] aki**
That you are a diamond in the rough.
**[13:04] aki**
A little polish would
make you shine even more.
**[13:06] both**
Why not show him that?
**[13:15] gora**
Yumoto, how's the water?
**[13:17] yu**
It's perfect, Gora!
**[13:20] shi**
Yes, thank you as always!
**[13:23] shi**
Why not join us?
**[13:26] gora**
No.
**[13:27] gora**
I'm not worthy to be there.
**[13:31] shi**
It's wonderful that your
brother is so humble.
**[13:36] shi**
This is a hot water that only
such humility can produce.
**[13:38] shi**
But Yumoto, you must be more aggressive
with my balls.
**[13:42] shi**
Come at them thinking,
"I'll never let you fall."
**[13:44] shi**
That's how you win a tournament.
**[13:47] yu**
But President,
**[13:48] yu**
we can't participate in a tournament
if we don't have enough people.
**[13:52] shi**
Yes, I know.
**[13:54] shi**
The truth is,
**[13:56] shi**
I had only one other long-term
club member besides you,
**[13:59] shi**
but he quit recently.
**[14:01] yu**
Wow, you had someone like that?
**[14:04] shi**
And so in the eleven years
I have been in this club,
**[14:07] shi**
I have never once participated
in a tournament.
**[14:10] yu**
Eleven years?!
**[14:11] yu**
How old are you now, President?
**[14:14] shi**
Twenty-six.
**[14:15] yu**
Twenty-six?!
**[14:18] shi**
There are things you can only do
during your high school years!
**[14:22] shi**
I will not quit Binan High School volleyball
**[14:24] shi**
until I take part in a tournament!
**[14:26] yu**
President!
**[14:27] yu**
You're dedicating your life to it, huh?
**[14:29] yu**
That's amazing!
**[14:30] yu**
I'm a little bit moved!
**[14:32] en**
I can't believe he's 26.
**[14:34] at**
Talk about peaking in high school.
**[14:36] ryu**
Even Neverland would be shocked.
**[14:39] ryu**
I'm surprised the school lets him stay.
**[14:42] io**
The school's probably fine with
it as long as he pays tuition.
**[14:50] shu**
President Munakata...
**[14:51] shu**
you'll regret this!
**[14:53] shu**
I'm a diamond in the rough.
**[14:55] shu**
The more you polish me, the more
I will outshine Hakone Yumoto!

Looked like Munakata-san.

Yumoto's right.

Lots of things really do come flying
and falling down in autumn.

Yeah...

Everyone, I think it's your turn!

**[18:58] five**
Of love!
**[19:01] mon**
Black is the color that
absorbs all other colors!
**[19:04] mon**
My black ball will suck
up all of your love power!
**[19:09] yu**
Scarlet Love Lumiere!
**[19:12] en**
Cerulean Love Aqua!
**[19:16] at**
Epinard Love Hurricane!
**[19:19] io**
Sulfur Love Gaia!
**[19:21] ryu**
Vesta Love Ignit!
**[19:27] yu**
What? He sucked in all of our attacks!
**[19:32] mon**
I'm the invincible Black Boba-yan!
**[19:34] mon**
Boing! Boing!
**[19:36] en**
He's bouncing around a lot.
**[19:38] at**
Yeah, I think he's having fun.
**[19:41] mon**
Look!
**[19:42] mon**
Inside this black sphere
shines the greatest of gems,
**[19:45] mon**
even harder than diamond, brighter
than the first star of evening!
**[19:50] yu**
Then why do you hide it?
**[19:55] mon**
Because...
**[19:56] mon**
he wouldn't polish me,
**[19:59] mon**
so I gave up on shining.
**[20:01] yu**
So you can't shine unless
someone else polishes you?
**[20:07] yu**
Instead of relying on someone else,
**[20:09] yu**
you have to make yourself shine!
**[20:10] yu**
Because you're a really
beautiful diamond, right?
**[20:14] mon**
W-Well...
**[20:17] yu**
Don't worry!
**[20:18] yu**
I know you can do it!
**[20:19] yu**
You can shine!
**[20:21] mon**
Even... I can?
**[20:23] yu**
Yeah!
**[20:24] yu**
Now, take this!
**[20:40] yu**
True Love Attack!
**[20:54] yu**
True Love Fountain!
**[21:08] yu**
Love is over!
**[21:19] yu**
Boy, am I glad!
**[21:22] yu**
Shuzo-san is back with the volleyball club!
**[21:25] yu**
"Shuzo! I was waiting for
you to pull yourself up!"
**[21:29] yu**
That's what the president
said. He's as on-fire as ever!
**[21:32] en**
In the end, their little lovers'
quarrel was the cause of it all.
**[21:37] at**
Yeah.
**[21:38] at**
It really put us through a lot.
**[21:39] ryu**
But what are you going to do about
the volleyball club, Yumoto?
**[21:42] yu**
I quit!
**[21:44] yu**
After all, I'm in the Earth Defense Club!
**[21:47] wom**
Yes! That's right!
**[21:49] io**
But with Oka Shuzo back, the
club only has two members...
**[21:54] ryu**
Does that mean Munakata won't
graduate this year, either?
**[21:57] yu**
That's right!
**[21:59] yu**
The president and Shuzo-san said
**[22:00] yu**
they would continue their fiery training
until they get into a tournament!
**[22:03] yu**
They're totally fired up!
**[22:05] at**
Never going to graduate, huh?
**[22:09] en**
Two for Neverland, huh?
**[22:14] dada**
Chicken was on sale today,
so I made chicken hot pot.
**[22:18] dada**
Come on, eat up, you two.
**[22:21] dada**
It will warm up your cold hearts.
**[22:24] haru**
Hakone...
**[22:26] aki**
...Yumoto...
**[22:27] both**
We will make you pay!

Man, I give up.
**[00:14] at**
That was kind of surprising.
**[00:16] yu**
Hey. I'm trembling a little right now.
**[00:19] en**
How come?
**[00:20] yu**
Fighting and conflict and
dissidence and animosity...
**[00:23] yu**
It makes me so uncomfortable...
**[00:25] yu**
When I see it, I don't know how to handle it.
**[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.
**[00:35] yu**
It's like they're burned
into my brain, I guess.
**[00:38] yu**
It just makes me so uncomfortable.
**[00:40] at**
Well, I'm the same way.
**[00:43] at**
I want to live a life without conflict,
**[00:45] at**
and I want that for the
people around me, too.
**[00:48] en**
You said it.
**[00:49] yu**
Why did this have to happen, huh?
***SIGN*** Everyone Loves Someone!
**[02:31] yu**
It's over! It's over!
**[02:33] yu**
Class is over!
**[02:35] yu**
Senpais, I just learned something!
**[02:38] yu**
Sea slug mating... it's incredible!
**[02:42] yu**
They're hermaphrodites, see...
**[02:45] yu**
They have a sexual organ on
each end of their body...
**[02:49] en**
Tell us more about sea slug mating!
**[02:51] at**
I'd love to hear all about it!
**[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
like you might be thinking,
**[03:06] yu**
they can actually join up in a big ring...
**[03:09] en**
Wow, that's amazing!
**[03:11] at**
How do you know that?
**[03:13] yu**
Well, I was talking with everyone...
**[03:16] wom**
It's love, of course!
**[03:18] wom**
Love connects people in a giant chain
that goes all the way into space!
**[03:22] yu**
Wow!
**[03:23] yu**
That's huge!
**[03:26] yu**
Um... Io-senpai?
**[03:28] io**
Can I help you?
**[03:30] yu**
And Ryuu-senpai...
**[03:31] ryu**
What do you want?
**[03:33] yu**
What's wrong?
**[03:34] both**
Why do you ask?
**[03:36] yu**
Well... you're acting...
a little different...
**[03:39] io**
Are we?
**[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.
**[04:39] en**
It's a little early, but I'm going
to head for the Kurotama Bath.
**[04:44] en**
Atsushi, you come with me.
**[04:46] en**
You too, Yumoto.
**[04:47] yu**
O-Okay.
**[04:49] en**
Anyone else in?
**[04:51] en**
No?
**[04:53] en**
If not, let's head out.
**[05:01] wom**
Excuse me!
**[05:02] wom**
* This is a threat to the continued*
* existence of the Battle Lovers!*
**[05:06] wom**
*I must do something to break the deadlock!*
**[05:09] wom**
*I call it Operation: Restoration of Love!*
**[05:13] ryu**
Oh, right.
**[05:14] ryu**
Wom-chan, want some candy?
**[05:17] wom**
Thank you very much!
**[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!
**[06:06] at**
But it's not like those two had
anything in common to begin with.
**[06:10] en**
Yeah.
**[06:11] en**
They're a miraculous pair.
**[06:14] en**
It's a miracle they can be in the same room.
**[06:16] at**
Apparently they both had an awful
first impression of each other, too.
***SIGN*** Class 1-A
**[06:20] (Flashback) ryu**
Going Dutch?
**[06:22] (Flashback) ryu**
No way.
**[06:23] (Flashback) ryu**
The guy should pay.
**[06:24] (Flashback) A**
How come?
**[06:26] (Flashback) A**
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**
and it's a small price to pay to
let her know you like her, right?
**[06:55] (Flashback) kids**
Y-Yeah!
**[06:57] (Flashback) ryu**
Well, my girlfriend never lets me pay, though.
**[07:01] (Flashback) ryu**
See, this is what we call
a benefit-cost ratio.
**[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.
**[07:22] (Flashback) io**
Oh, you've taken the time to learn who I am?
**[07:25] (Flashback) io**
I'm not an investment, you know.
There are better uses of your time.
**[07:28] (Flashback) ryu**
No, I just know you because you're so annoying.
**[07:32] yu**
So why did they both join the Defense Club?
**[07:36] en**
Well...
***SIGN*** Earth Defense Club (lol)
**[07:43] (Flashback) both**
Yes?
**[07:45] (Flashback) io**
Is this the Earth Defense Club?
**[07:45] (Flashback) ryu**
*Is this Earth Defense Club thing for real?*
**[07:48] (Flashback) en**
Y-Yeah...
**[07:49] (Flashback) at**
Yes...
**[07:55] at**
I was just happy to have a new member...
**[07:58] yu**
So you accepted them both?
**[08:00] yu**
Separately?
**[08:01] en**
Well, we didn't know they hated each other.
**[08:07] (Flashback) io**
Well, well.
**[08:11] (Flashback) io**
Would you please stop getting in my face?
**[08:14] (Flashback) ryu**
You're the one getting in my face!
**[08:17] (Flashback) io**
I heard overly persistent
men never get dates!
**[08:20] (Flashback) ryu**
That's right, it's important
to know when to quit!
**[08:23] (Flashback) ryu**
The Defense Club is perfect for
skipping class and napping.
**[08:25] (Flashback) ryu**
Don't get in my way!
**[08:27] (Flashback) io**
Sometimes I want to look at the
markets in peace and quiet, too!
**[08:30] (Flashback) io**
Why don't *you* quit instead?
**[08:32] (Flashback) both**
I want to join the club!
**[08:35] yu**
So what happened then?
**[08:37] en**
Well, we couldn't not let them join the club.
**[08:40] at**
Although the club itself hadn't
been registered at that point...
**[08:45] (Flashback) ryu**
This new series is so funny!
**[08:47] (Flashback) io**
As I thought, biotech
stocks are on the rise.
**[08:50] (Flashback) io**
I'll have to check the price
movements in the future.
**[08:55] (Flashback) en**
Hey, Atsushi...
**[08:57] (Flashback) at**
En-chan...
**[08:59] (Flashback) ryu**
You heading home?
**[09:01] (Flashback) io**
I'll accompany you.
**[09:02] (Flashback) ryu**
How come?
**[09:04] (Flashback) io**
What do you mean, how come?
**[09:06] (Flashback) ryu**
What do you mean, what do I mean, how come?
**[09:08] (Flashback) io**
What do you mean, what do I mean,
what do you mean, how come?
**[09:12] (Flashback) en**
It's okay. You don't have
to go out of your way.
**[09:14] (Flashback) at**
You two just do what you want.
**[09:16] (Flashback) io**
No, I was thinking of going myself...
**[09:19] (Flashback) ryu**
It seems like it would be fun to go together.
**[09:22] (Flashback) ryu**
Well, together, minus one.
**[09:25] (Flashback) en**
Look, you guys both hate each other, right?
**[09:29] (Flashback) ryu**
Yes, we do.
**[09:30] (Flashback) io**
Even worse than hate, I would say.
**[09:33] (Flashback) ryu**
There he goes, nitpicking.
**[09:34] (Flashback) io**
And you just want to agree
with everything he says.
**[09:38] (Flashback) at**
Are you sure it doesn't wrap back
around to you liking each other?
**[09:42] (Flashback) both**
No!
**[09:44] (Flashback) both**
I mean—
**[09:45] (Flashback) en**
See, you're a perfect match.
**[09:47] (Flashback) ryu**
Yeah, right!
**[09:47] (Flashback) io**
*You're mistaken!*

It's no use, Senpai!
**[14:52] yu**
He's that annoying type that will
**[14:56] yu**
interpret anything you say as jealousy!
**[14:59] pan**
You're the annoying ones here!
**[15:02] pan**
Take this!
**[15:03] pan**
Bamboo Storm!
**[15:19] pan**
Did you know that pandas
**[15:21] pan**
sometimes eat mice and other small mammals?
**[15:25] pan**
You three are like mice to me!
**[15:29] pan**
Do you understand what I'm getting at?
**[15:32] ryu**
Like hell!
**[15:37] ryu**
Stop saying stuff we need
to figure out, poo-face!
**[15:40] io**
There's no need to understand, anyway!
**[15:42] ryu**
Vesta Love Ignit!
**[15:46] io**
Sulfur Love Gaia!
**[15:52] pan**
Wh-What is this?
**[15:54] pan**
This isn't jealousy or resentment!
**[15:56] ryu**
We just don't give a damn about you!
**[15:59] io**
Although you do need to pay for having the
nerve to stand against the Battle Lovers.
**[16:03] ryu**
Io, you're more aggressive than I thought.
**[16:06] io**
You're one to talk, Ryuu.
**[16:08] en**
Did you two make up?
**[16:11] ryu**
Huh?
**[16:12] io**
Certainly not!
**[16:16] at**
Then what are you doing here?
**[16:19] both**
They're unrelated incidents!
**[16:24] pan**
To hit a cute panda...
**[16:27] pan**
you call yourselves human?!
**[16:29] ryu**
You're not even a panda.
**[16:31] ryu**
You're a panda monster, y'know?
**[16:33] io**
Just being cute isn't enough!
**[16:35] io**
Running a business means
solving your own problems,
**[16:38] io**
and you must always strive for
innovation and change!
**[16:41] ryu**
The road to popularity is a thorny
path that requires constant hard work!
**[16:44] ryu**
Are you prepared to walk that road?!
**[16:47] yu**
Senpais, it's time!
**[16:49] yu**
Sparkle, Lumiere of Love!
**[16:54] en**
Flash, Purifying Aqua!
**[16:57] atsu**
Pierce, Gallant Hurricane!
**[17:01] io**
Roar, Raging Gaia!
**[17:04] ryu**
Thrill, Blazing Ignit!
**[17:11] yu**
Io-Ryuu-senpai, it's up to you!
**[17:15] ryu**
Shall we?
**[17:16] io**
Yeah!
**[17:17] both**
Don't wallow in love!
**[17:19] both**
True Love Attack!
**[17:32] both**
True Love Fountain!
**[17:49] both**
Love is over!
**[17:50] aki**
Don't wallow in love, eh?
**[17:54] haru**
You're one to talk.
**[17:55] yu**
You two!
**[17:56] all**
VEPPer!
**[17:58] haru**
The likes of you
**[18:00] haru**
could never understand the thought
process of someone who is loved.
**[18:02] aki**
You lack any qualification
to speak on the matter.
**[18:06] aki**
In short, you're insufficient.
**[18:08] yu**
Huh?
**[18:09] yu**
What do you mean?
**[18:10] haru**
It's not you, the Battle Lovers,
**[18:12] haru**
who are worthy of the love of thousands.
**[18:14] aki**
You'll see that that love is
reserved for us, VEPPer.
**[18:18] aki**
Little by little.
**[18:21] yu**
What was all that, about
being worthy of love?
**[18:24] en**
I'm getting the feeling they
don't like us very much.
**[18:29] en**
Can't put my finger on it.
***SIGN*** Earth Defense Club (lol)
**[18:39] at**
Yumoto's engaged in repetitive behavior.
**[18:42] at**
Like a stressed wolf at the zoo.
**[18:47] en**
Come on, Ryuu, Io.
**[18:48] en**
Get a grip already.
**[18:50] io**
I'm sorry, Yufuin-senpai.
**[18:52] io**
I'm a very petty person.
**[18:54] ryu**
I know I'm worse than Io.
**[18:58] ryu**
I'm an idiot who only thinks
about getting with girls.
**[19:00] io**
What are you talking about?
**[19:02] io**
Your dating habits stimulate the economy.
**[19:05] io**
It's worthy of praise.
**[19:08] ryu**
Your investments are way more amazing.
**[19:10] ryu**
You're committed to the
development of your business.
**[19:13] ryu**
My little dates are nothing compared to that.
**[19:17] io**
No, in the end, the economy
comes down to people.
**[19:20] io**
The economy can't function if
people don't go about their lives.
**[19:23] io**
That's what you're doing.
**[19:27] ryu**
You're much more amazing!
**[19:28] ryu**
Acknowledge it already!
**[19:29] io**
I will not!
**[19:30] io**
Ryuu, you should have confidence instead!
**[19:33] ryu**
Shut up, you genius!
**[19:35] io**
Give it a rest already, you icon!
**[19:37] wom**
Wait a minute!
**[19:39] en**
What?
**[19:40] en**
Are those backhanded compliments?
**[19:42] en**
Or do you actually both think
the world of each other?
**[19:44] both**
Yes, I do!
**[19:46] ryu**
It's just that he...
**[19:47] io**
You...
**[19:48] both**
...won't admit it!
**[19:51] yu**
Oh, I have a question!
**[19:53] yu**
How did this start?
**[19:55] both**
Because the other boys in
class were making fun of him!
**[19:59] ryu**
That's why I was explaining
how amazing Io was!
**[20:02] io**
I explained it to them, kindly and concisely!
**[20:06] ryu**
But Io overheard it and denied it!
**[20:08] io**
Because I lack even 1/10th of your value!
**[20:11] ryu**
But I told you!
**[20:13] ryu**
You're amazing!
**[20:14] ryu**
Why won't you acknowledge it?
**[20:15] io**
I'm not amazing!
**[20:17] (Flashback) ryu**
Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!
**[20:17] io**
What's so amazing about me?!
**[20:19] en**
This is freaking dumb!!!
**[20:23] at**
I just remembered.
**[20:24] at**
When you came to the Kurotama
Bath for the first time,
**[20:27] at**
it was just like this.
**[20:29] (Flashback) ryu**
Yeah, right!
**[20:29] (Flashback) io**
You're mistaken!
**[20:33] (Flashback) io**
This is the worst.
**[20:33] (Flashback) ryu**
This stinks.
**[20:35] (Flashback) gora**
Excuse me, sirs.
**[20:37] (Flashback) gora**
We can dry your uniforms quickly.
**[20:39] (Flashback) gora**
In the meantime, please, get in the bath.
**[20:46] (Flashback) io**
What on Earth?
**[20:48] (Flashback) ryu**
How pushy can you get?
**[20:54] (Flashback) io**
Not bad at all, huh?
**[20:56] (Flashback) ryu**
Yeah, pretty good.
**[20:57] (Flashback) io**
I guess we can agree on some things.
**[21:00] (Flashback) ryu**
I'm pretty shocked, too.
**[21:02] (Flashback) en**
Well, I guess they're both in the club.
**[21:06] (Flashback) at**
Are you okay with that?
**[21:07] (Flashback) both**
Yeah!
**[21:09] en**
In retrospect, I'm grateful
for that splash of water.
**[21:12] at**
Without that, they might have
never spoken to each other again.
**[21:17] wom**
What's wrong?
**[21:19] yu**
I'm sorry!
**[21:20] yu**
The one who splashed you was probably me!
**[21:28] (Flashback) yu**
The ridge tiles on a bathhouse are
guardian spirits against fire!
**[21:31] (Flashback) yu**
Thanks for all your help!
**[21:34] (Flashback) yu**
But we're a natural hot spring,
so there's no danger of fire!
**[21:38] (Flashback) yu**
Oh well!
**[21:40] (Flashback) gora**
Yumoto.
**[21:43] (Flashback) gora**
I need you to wash these
and iron them quickly.
**[21:48] (Flashback) yu**
Big bro, are these from Binan High School?
**[21:52] yu**
That's the time you were
talking about, right?
**[21:55] yu**
I think I need to apologize to you both.
**[21:59] ryu**
Huh? What?
**[22:00] io**
We're the ones who should apologize.
**[22:02] io**
For bringing down the mood in the club room.
**[22:04] yu**
Not that!
**[22:06] yu**
Because I was hasty with
the iron, the lining...
**[22:14] yu**
I'm sorry!
**[22:15] ryu**
That was you?!
**[22:16] io**
I always wondered...
**[22:18] wom**
Now, now.
**[22:19] wom**
It means you match me! It's premiere!
**[22:22] both**
I'm not happy about that at all!
**[22:25] wom**
What did you say?!
**[22:27] wom**
Love shock!

Here's your ramen!
**[00:27] all**
Wow!
**[00:29] ryu**
Looks delicious!
**[00:30] yu**
Let's eat!
**[00:37] wom**
Yes!
**[00:40] en**
Hey, I've been thinking...
**[00:43] at**
Yes?
**[00:44] en**
Christmas Eve is coming.
**[00:46] en**
How about we hold a Chri-pa?
**[00:49] all**
A Chri-pa?!
**[00:51] at**
What's going on?
**[00:52] at**
En-chan, you're usually the one
that hates that stuff the most...
**[00:54] en**
Well, I was thinking it's important
to engage with the 'mas.
**[00:59] yu**
Oh, I get it!
**[01:00] yu**
En-chan-senpai is bursting
with Christmas spirit!
**[01:03] yu**
I'm so in!
**[01:05] yu**
And we'll have the party at
Kurotama Bath, of course!
**[01:07] en**
A Chri-pa with a hot bath, huh?
**[01:09] en**
Okay, let's do it.
**[01:11] yu**
Yeah!
**[01:12] yu**
I'm looking forward to it *so much*!
**[01:15] en**
Now, we just have to figure out the food...
**[01:19] man**
We've got you!
**[01:22] yu**
Ole! Christmas Ramen?
**[01:25] ryu**
Wow...
**[01:26] ryu**
This shop's finally gone down
the Christmas hole too, huh?
**[01:28] io**
Opportunism is a fundamental
part of doing business.
**[01:32] en**
This sounds good to me.
**[01:34] yu**
Got it!
**[01:35] yu**
Mister, we want a Christmas
ramen delivery on Christmas Eve!
**[01:40] yu**
Send it to the Kurotama Bath!
**[01:42] man**
Okay!
**[01:45] sei**
Ole! I'm back.
**[01:47] yu**
Huh? Hijiriya-kun?
**[01:49] hij**
Hey...
**[01:50] yu**
I see!
**[01:51] yu**
Is this where you live?
**[01:53] at**
You know him?
**[01:54] yu**
He's my classmate, Hijiriya-kun!
**[01:57] yu**
Bro Gora!
**[02:00] go**
Oh, welcome back, Yumoto.
**[02:02] yu**
Hey, can we have a Chri-pa
here on Christmas Eve?
**[02:06] go**
A Chri-pa?
**[02:07] yu**
It means "Christmas party"!
**[02:09] yu**
We're going to gather at Kurotama Bath
**[02:11] yu**
and have cake
**[02:12] yu**
and get ramen delivered
**[02:14] yu**
and exchange presents!
**[02:16] yu**
Of course, you're invited too!
**[02:18] yu**
So can we reserve the bath for Christmas Eve?
**[02:21] go**
Me and Christmas cake...
**[02:23] go**
Me and ramen delivery...

Me and exchanging presents...

Today's Christmas Eve!

You think Santa Claus
will bring us a present?
**[04:29] (Flashback) haru**
I doubt it. He never does.
**[04:33] (Flashback) aki**
But don't worry!

He's our true Santa!

Wow, lame.

Hey, keep it down.

Hey there, Red-Nosed Reindeer.
**[05:14] aki**
The day you fear and hate most
in the whole year has arrived.
**[05:19] both**
Christmas Eve!
**[05:20] hij**
Wh-Who are you two?
**[05:22] haru**
16 years without a girlfriend.
**[05:25] aki**
And no friends who like to throw parties.
**[05:27] haru**
So you spend every Christmas Eve
**[05:29] haru**
doing nothing but delivering
ramen for your father.
**[05:35] haru**
And every year hence, forever and ever...
**[05:38] aki**
Stewing in hatred and resentment
of people happier than you...
**[05:41] both**
That's how you'll spend this day.
**[05:46] aki**
Wouldn't you just love...
**[05:47] haru**
...to get rid of this day?
**[05:50] hij**
I hate Christmas...
**[05:52] hij**
I hate Christmas...
**[05:54] hij**
I wish it would just go away!
**[05:56] haru**
Then why don't we grant...
**[05:58] aki**
...that wish of yours?
**[05:59] hij**
Huh? How?
**[06:08] haru**
Now we just wait for him to do the rest.
**[06:11] aki**
We just have to wait...
**[06:13] both**
...for the moment Christmas dies.

G-Gora-san!

Hello there, neighbors.

Sorry to surprise you from the rooftop.

Wait!

What about the monster?
**[07:22] both**
That's right!
**[07:24] both**
What do we do?!
**[07:25] haru**
After we finally got invited...
**[07:27] aki**
After we finally get to join the ranks
of people satisfied living in reality...
**[07:30] haru**
At this rate, Christmas...
**[07:32] aki**
And all people living in
reality across the world...
**[07:34] both**
...are going to be destroyed!
**[07:36] dada**
That's right! So—
**[07:38] haru**
Hey, Dadacha!
**[07:40] haru**
Where's that monster right now?
**[07:42] aki**
Find him!

And tell him!

The plot...
**[07:45] aki**
...to destroy Christmas
all across the world...

Well, I think everything's in order.

By the way, today we're having
"Having a Christmas Toast With You
**[08:00] wom**
Love Shower Drink."
**[08:03] ryu**
What's with that oh-so-conspicuous
introduction?
**[08:06] wom**
This is what we always
toast with at celebrations
**[08:09] wom**
on *#^$, where I was born.''
**[08:12] both**
Excuse us!
**[08:14] ryu**
Huh?
**[08:15] ryu**
Who could that be?
**[08:16] at**
Were you selling tickets to the party?
**[08:18] io**
No!
**[08:20] both**
Hello there!
**[08:21] en**
Oh, you two.
**[08:23] io**
The Beppu Brothers?
**[08:24] yu**
It is!
**[08:25] yu**
It's Brothers-senpai!
**[08:27] ryu**
What are you doing here?
**[08:28] go**
Oh, well, I...
**[08:30] haru**
Oh, Gora-san!
**[08:31] haru**
Thank you very much...
**[08:33] both**
...for inviting us!
**[08:35] en**
What are super idols doing
here on Christmas Eve?
**[08:38] io**
It is curious.
**[08:40] io**
You'd think they would have had other plans.
**[08:43] ryu**
You can't invite the Beppus just like that.
**[08:46] ryu**
They're serious idols at our school.
**[08:49] ryu**
For now.
**[08:50] both**
For now?!
**[08:51] gora**
I'm sorry, I didn't realize...
**[08:54] haru**
Oh, don't worry about it!
**[08:56] aki**
We did have plans, but...
**[08:58] both**
We canceled them!
**[09:01] en**
So you say. But I bet you really
had nothing better to do.
**[09:05] yu**
So, Brothers-senpai!
**[09:07] yu**
Why don't you join us in a toast
with our Love Shower Drink?
**[09:11] go**
Here!
**[09:12] both**
Yes! Thank you!
**[09:14] yu**
Well, Brothers-senpai!
**[09:16] yu**
Please sit here!
**[09:19] go**
Have a seat here.
**[09:20] both**
Thank you!
**[09:24] en**
Good thing I printed a
few extra just in case.
**[09:27] en**
Here, you can have some.

Cheers!

Gora-san! Cheers!
**[09:47] gora**
Yeah, cheers!
**[09:49] yu**
Huh?
**[09:55] yu**
The cake and the Love Shower
Drink are both super delicious!
**[09:58] gora**
Oh, Yumoto.
**[10:00] gora**
You got some cream on you.
**[10:02] yu**
Oh, bro!
**[10:03] yu**
Thank you!
**[10:10] ryu**
Hey, Beppu-kuns.
**[10:12] ryu**
You got cream on you.
**[10:15] ryu**
What?
**[10:16] ryu**
Did I do something wrong?
**[10:17] yu**
Brothers-senpai, feel
free to eat all you like!
**[10:21] go**
Here you are.
**[10:23] both**
Yes!
**[10:24] both**
Thank you!
**[10:27] en**
Speaking of eating, where's
the Christmas ramen?
**[10:29] io**
We ordered it for 7:00...
**[10:33] haru**
I hope Dadacha's handling it...
**[10:36] aki**
Don't worry.
**[10:37] aki**
Nothing will happen.
**[10:38] haru**
We can't let it happen...
**[10:40] both**
At least, not until we get his present!

**[10:49] yu**
Senpai, if the ramen's not coming,
we should exchange presents first!
**[10:54] yu**
I can't wait!
**[10:56] aki**
What a great idea!
**[10:58] haru**
Let's do it!
**[11:00] en**
Guess we'll have to.
**[11:02] en**
Swapping ramen smile time and
present exchange time, huh?
**[11:07] ryu**
But exchanging presents
**[11:10] ryu**
is the highlight of the Chri-pa.
**[11:12] ryu**
You gotta save the best
part for the end, right?
**[11:16] en**
He's right.
**[11:18] en**
Well, let's swap it with the
Christmas song sing-a-long instead.
**[11:22] ryu**
Yeah! Good idea!
**[11:24] yu**
Okay...
**[11:35] haru**
No good?
**[11:37] haru**
Monster...
**[11:39] haru**
is coming to town?
**[11:44] go**
Is something wrong?
**[11:47] haru**
R-Rather than the sing-a-long...
**[11:49] aki**
I think Yumoto-kun's right...
**[11:51] both**
We should exchange presents first!
**[11:55] both**
Now, quickly!
**[11:56] both**
Before he comes!
**[11:58] at**
Who?
**[11:59] both**
Oh... nothing...
**[12:01] en**
We don't have a choice.
**[12:03] en**
If they want it that badly, maybe
doing that first will calm them down.
**[12:06] yu**
All right!
**[12:07] both**
Yes!
**[12:09] at**
There's something strange about those two.
**[12:12] io**
I wonder if Christmas
makes them a little crazy.
**[12:18] en**
Okay, let's get started.
**[12:20] yu**
I'm so excited!
**[12:22] both**
*The only present we want...*
**[12:24] both**
*is that one!*
**[12:26] tawa**
Well, then. Christmas present exchange.
**[12:29] tawa**
Let's start the music.
**[12:33] yu**
Th-That sound...
**[12:36] all**
Now?!
**[12:38] rein**
Even on Christmas Eve, we labor and toil.
**[12:41] rein**
I come on behalf of all those
forced to work without rest...
**[12:44] rein**
Ole!
**[12:45] rein**
I am Red-Nosed Reindeer Monster!
**[12:49] yu**
Reindeer Monster?
**[12:50] ryu**
What's he doing here now?
**[12:56] en**
Hey, what do we do?
**[12:58] ryu**
We definitely can't transform here...
**[13:01] at**
I wish these monsters could
time their appearances better.
**[13:04] yu**
Seriously!
**[13:05] io**
What do we do?
**[13:07] wom**
Since there are people here right now,
**[13:09] wom**
you'll just have to transform outside.
**[13:12] rein**
Hey!
**[13:14] rein**
Are you guys ignoring me?
**[13:17] go**
It really is a reindeer!
**[13:22] rein**
Huh?
**[13:24] go**
Here, have some.
**[13:27] rein**
Oh...
**[13:28] rein**
Thanks?
**[13:29] haru**
Oh, dear...
**[13:30] haru**
What do we do?
**[13:31] aki**
There's only one thing *to* do.
**[13:34] both**
We'll have to let them beat him!
**[13:37] at**
But how do we get out of here?
**[13:40] yu**
We could all say we gotta pee!
**[13:42] en**
It would seem unnatural for us
all to do that at the same time.
**[13:45] ryu**
What about brushing our teeth, then?
**[13:47] io**
Even more unnatural!
**[13:48] haru**
That's it!
**[13:50] haru**
You all just had cake...
**[13:53] aki**
So why don't you go over there...
**[13:54] both**
...and brush your teeth?
**[13:56] yu**
Huh?
**[13:57] yu**
That might let us all brush our
teeth in the most natural way!
**[14:00] wom**
Then take the invitation
and get going already!
**[14:03] mon**
Hold on a minute!
**[14:05] mon**
You want to shove all the work
on me and run off, do you?
**[14:10] mon**
I won't let you have all the fun
on Christmas Eve without me!
**[14:15] yu**
No, it's not like that!
**[14:16] mon**
Oh, yes it is!
**[14:19] mon**
Stupid Christmas Eve!
**[14:21] mon**
Stupid Christmas parties!
**[14:23] mon**
You get to have fun toasts and
eat cake and exchange presents...
**[14:27] mon**
and gaze at each other
in a nice restaurant
**[14:29] mon**
with a beautiful night view and
a champagne glass in one hand...
**[14:32] mon**
Then you flash the girl your hotel room keys
**[14:35] mon**
and say "I got us a room"
**[14:37] mon**
and then go up in the elevator together
**[14:40] mon**
and then... and then...
**[14:42] mon**
So lucky!!
**[14:44] en**
What is that reindeer talking about?
**[14:47] at**
No idea.
**[14:48] io**
Well, it's a reindeer-eat-reindeer
world out there.
**[14:51] io**
He probably has a lot of troubles.
**[14:53] at**
Wait, are reindeer carnivores or herbivores?
**[14:56] mon**
We're omnivores with a
strong herbivorous bent!
**[14:59] mon**
But that's not the point!
**[15:00] mon**
I'm trying to tell you that
**[15:02] mon**
while you're happily
enjoying yourselves here,
**[15:04] mon**
there are people out there working
their antlers off! You hear me?
**[15:07] mon**
On Christmas, all the
reindeer in the world...
**[15:11] go**
Yes!
**[15:12] go**
The reindeer bring presents
to people all over the world!
**[15:15] go**
You truly do magnificent work.
**[15:18] go**
Want another drink?
**[15:21] go**
I'll bring it to you.
**[15:23] mon**
Well, don't trouble yourself...
**[15:30] haru**
I know!
**[15:31] haru**
Why don't we close our eyes for no reason?
**[15:35] aki**
What a good idea!
**[15:38] en**
Huh?
**[15:39] en**
Those guys just started
meditating or something...
**[15:43] at**
That's weird.
**[15:44] yu**
But that gives us our chance to transform!

We managed to create our
most annoying monster yet.

But unless the Defense Club beats him...
**[16:20] both**
We won't be able to exchange presents!

Oh, what's with this feeling

I wanna exchange presents already!

Then we need to defeat the monster first!

Let's brainstorm ideas for how
you can leave and transform!

I know.

What if one of us pretends
to have stomach pain,
**[16:38] ryu**
and the others take him to the hospital?
**[16:41] yu**
Great idea! I'll play the sick one.
**[16:44] en**
But I doubt the twins will buy it...

We'll just have to try it!

What is this?

Yumoto-kun, your stomach hurts, you say?
**[17:06] aki**
That is truly awful!
**[17:08] both**
You must take him to the
hospital immediately!
**[17:10] en**
They bought it?
**[17:12] at**
Are you kidding me?
**[17:12] both**
Come on, everyone!
**[17:14] both**
This way!
**[17:15] go**
Wait, Yumoto!
**[17:17] go**
I made your big brother's
special tummy tonic.

I know, but I need to go to the hospital...

Yumoto.

Ah!

Ah...
**[17:30] en**
I wish he'd butt out.
**[17:32] io**
No kidding.
**[17:34] mon**
Hey, you guys!
**[17:36] mon**
What kind of stupid fake
performance was that?
**[17:40] yu**
Well, it's all your fault, Mr. Reindeer!
**[17:44] yu**
You're ruining our Chri-pa!
**[17:46] both**
That's right!
**[17:48] haru**
After so long, we got invited to a Chri-pa...
**[17:50] aki**
With that man...
**[17:52] both**
...we've always admired!
**[17:54] aki**
Um, the point is...
**[17:56] haru**
Because of you, a dream we've
held since childhood...
**[17:59] both**
Is down the drain!
**[18:01] mon**
H-How could you...
**[18:03] mon**
You're telling me all you care about
is whether *you* get to have fun?
**[18:08] mon**
Isn't it that selfish attitude
**[18:10] mon**
that has turned Christmas
Eve into the circus it is?
**[18:14] mon**
Listen.
**[18:15] mon**
Your happiness always comes
on the back of someone else.
**[18:15] ryu**
Oh boy, they got him going again.
**[18:19] mon**
Behind all the fun you're having,
**[18:21] mon**
there's always someone working their
fingers to the bone and crying!
**[18:24] mon**
You could never understand the
suffering and sorrow we go through!
**[18:28] all**
Huh?
**[18:29] mon**
And yet no one ever stops to thank you.
**[18:32] mon**
They just complain that you're
late, that the food is cold...
**[18:35] mon**
What do I even do it for?
**[18:38] mon**
You know, I... I...
**[18:41] mon**
I want a Chri-pa, too!
**[18:43] yu**
Then have one!
**[18:45] yu**
You can join us, Mr. Reindeer.
**[18:48] yu**
When things get bad, you
should try to join in the fun!
**[18:52] mon**
I can... join in the fun?
**[18:54] yu**
Yeah.
**[18:55] yu**
You can have a fun Chri-pa with us!
**[18:59] mon**
Me, at a Chri-pa?
**[19:01] mon**
Me, having fun?
**[19:04] gora**
Come along.
**[19:06] both**
So nice!

Thank you so much!

It's time for the Chri-pa highlight
you've all been waiting for,

Yeah!

Now, everyone.

Fetch your presents.

Right!

Now, let us begin.
**[19:38] taw**
Start the music!
**[19:52] taw**
Stop.

**[19:58] mon**
My first ever present...
**[20:02] at**
I see.
**[20:04] at**
I get it.
**[20:05] at**
That's why he did it...
**[20:11] en**
That was some Chri-pa.
**[20:14] ryu**
Yeah, it was something.
**[20:16] io**
"Something" may be the
only way to describe it.
**[20:20] yu**
I really had a ton of fun!
**[20:23] yu**
My brother was really happy, too!
**[20:26] en**
By the way, what presents did you get?
**[20:29] io**
I got this from Yumoto.
**[20:31] yu**
Yeah, that's a Wom-san,
made from Wom-san's fur!
**[20:36] ryu**
This is the Christmas ramen that
Reindeer Monster had with him.
**[20:40] ryu**
Though the noodles have gotten soggy
and soaked up all the broth...
**[20:43] en**
I got that.
**[20:45] ryu**
Oh, that's from me!
**[20:47] ryu**
It's a blizzard rose that never wilts!
**[20:49] en**
Hey, anybody want this?
**[20:53] io**
What about you, Kinugawa-senpai?
**[20:56] at**
I got this!
**[20:58] yu**
It's from the student council!
**[20:59] en**
Yeah, they sent it to the
Defense Club yesterday.
**[21:02] io**
Seeing the three of them
dressed up like Santa...
**[21:04] ryu**
They must be having a good time over there.
**[21:08] at**
Looks like it!
**[21:10] io**
By the way, what about the Beppu Brothers?
**[21:13] haru**
This happiness, we must...
**[21:16] aki**
...share it between us.
**[21:18] both**
Because that's what Christmas is all about!
**[21:21] haru**
Yes.
**[21:21] haru**
This is...
**[21:22] aki**
What we've longed for for so long...
**[21:25] both**
Gora-san's warmth!
**[21:27] yu**
I got this!
**[21:29] yu**
It's a hand-knitted sweater
from the Brothers!
**[21:32] yu**
It's nice and warm!
**[21:34] en**
Hand-knitted? That's kind of stalker-ish.
**[21:36] at**
And there's a heart on it...
**[21:38] wom**
By the way, I was so busy playing the music,
**[21:42] wom**
I forgot to join the game!
**[21:45] en**
That's right. What happened to that monster?
**[21:47] ryu**
He got the candy-filled Christmas
stocking from Kinugawa-senpai
**[21:51] ryu**
and left looking really happy.
**[21:53] io**
I don't think we've ever let a monster
get away without turning him back before.
**[21:58] yu**
But I just couldn't bring myself
to attack him like that!
**[22:02] yu**
He was having so much fun!
**[22:04] en**
Well, that's all right.
**[22:06] en**
Everyone's happy.
**[22:08] en**
And it's Christmas Eve.
**[22:09] at**
Yeah.
**[22:11] io**
I guess Christmas really
does make people crazy.
**[22:14] wom**
Yes!
**[22:15] wom**
It's a Christmas Eve miracle!

I never knew Yumoto's brother made soba.
**[00:13] at**
So he can do more than just chop wood.
**[00:15] yu**
Yeah!
**[00:17] yu**
Today we'll eat Gora's
hand-made New Year's soba,
**[00:20] yu**
then listen to the New Year's bell
**[00:21] yu**
and make our first shrine visit
of the new year together!
**[00:23] yu**
Then we'll watch the first sunrise
**[00:26] yu**
and eat our New Year's feast together...
**[00:29] yu**
I'm looking forward to it so much!
**[00:32] en**
What are you talking about?
**[00:33] en**
Once I'm out of this bath, I'm
eating soba and heading home.
**[00:36] at**
Same here.
**[00:37] yu**
Huh? Senpais, you're just going home?
**[00:40] io**
I'm going, too.
**[00:41] io**
For the New Year, I always visit a shrine
to Benzaiten to pray for my stocks to go up.
**[00:45] ryu**
I'm going to the daruma fair with some girls.
**[00:48] at**
The daruma fair?
**[00:49] ryu**
We were supposed to go snowboarding,
**[00:52] ryu**
but it's so cold it got to be
more trouble than it was worth.
**[00:54] en**
Speaking of which, didn't we have plans
to go skiing during winter break?
**[00:59] io**
Yes.
**[01:00] io**
Though sadly we had to cancel because Yumoto
**[01:03] io**
couldn't save up enough allowance.
**[01:05] yu**
I tried really hard,
**[01:08] yu**
but I just couldn't seem to save it up!
**[01:10] at**
What is your allowance, anyway?
**[01:12] yu**
500 yen per month!
**[01:13] all**
Are you a child?!
***SIGN*** Love is Like the Snow
**[02:57] yu**

**[02:59] yu**
it's gonna be a lonely New Year...
**[03:01] en**
What's the big deal?
**[03:03] en**
Go on your first shrine visit with Gora.
**[03:05] at**
That's right.
**[03:06] at**
Make it a brother thing.
**[03:07] ryu**
Yeah!
**[03:09] ryu**
Wouldn't that be a nice way
to kick off the year, Yumoto?
**[03:12] yu**
Just me and Gora?
**[03:16] yu**
Yeah, good idea!
**[03:17] yu**
Okay!
**[03:18] yu**
Then after we eat the soba,
**[03:20] yu**
me and my bro will go for
our first shrine visit...
**[03:22] yu**
and watch the first sunrise
of the New Year together!
**[03:24] haru**
What?
**[03:26] haru**
Yumoto doesn't just get to eat
Gora-san's New Year's soba...
**[03:29] aki**
...he gets to spend the first shrine visit
and first sunrise of the New Year alone with him?
**[03:32] haru**

This spring, we'll be in art school!
**[05:21] kid**
We just have to buckle down
for New Year's, that's all.
**[05:23] kid**
We've gotta get into college
on our first try, right?
**[05:32] aki**
Haru.
**[05:33] aki**
I see a good one.
**[05:34] haru**
Yeah.
**[05:40] haru**
Hey, Senpai.
**[05:42] kid**
Senpai?
**[05:43] haru**
Yes, we're students at Binan
High School, just like you.
**[05:48] kid**
Oh... r-really?
**[05:51] aki**
Although we have very little in
common with a 23-year-old senpai
**[05:55] aki**
who's spent five years failing
to get accepted into college.
**[05:59] kid**
H-How did you know that?
**[06:01] haru**
Senpai, really.
**[06:03] haru**
You think "I'm actually a genius
who will change the world"
**[06:08] haru**
or something, don't you?
**[06:10] haru**
Yet they won't acknowledge your
genius, so you just continue failing.
**[06:17] haru**
Even your parents are fed up with you.
**[06:18] haru**
You borrow money to go to cram schools with
no hope of ever paying back your debts.
**[06:23] aki**
And yet you think it's all the fault of the
people refusing to accept you into college.
**[06:29] kid**
Yeah, that's right!
**[06:31] kid**
It's not my fault I've been
rejected for five years!
**[06:34] kid**
The university people just don't
appreciate my shining art talent!
**[06:38] kid**
If I keep failing, my debts
will just keep snowballing...
**[06:42] kid**
I'm never going to escape this winter.
**[06:47] haru**
So, why not show them that shining talent?
**[06:50] aki**
You want to draw
**[06:52] aki**
an incredible picture that will
change the whole world, don't you?
**[07:02] ryu**
We gotta watch Classic Japanese
Melodies for New Year's, huh?
**[07:04] io**
We decided with rock paper
scissors. What can you do?
**[07:07] en**
His vibrato is *the best*.
**[07:12] ryu**
After we eat, I'm going home.
**[07:14] ryu**
Yumoto, when's the soba coming?
**[07:15] yu**
Bro Gora just put it in the
water, so it'll be done soon!
**[07:18] yu**
Is this kotatsu a little cold?
**[07:21] at**
I'm gonna get a chill from the bath.
**[07:22] wom**
Then let's set it to maximum!
**[07:26] io**
The heater doesn't seem to
be working well, either.
**[07:29] ryu**
Here's what I do at times like this!
**[07:31] ryu**
Toasty!
**[07:32] yu**
Hey, that's ours!
**[07:34] yu**
Bro Gora's gonna be so mad!
***SIGN*** Do Not Remove

**[07:42] all**
Toasty!
**[07:44] gora**
Yumoto, it's done.
**[07:46] yu**
Yeah!
**[07:47] gora**
I'll bring the stew by later.
**[07:49] gora**
Eat them before they get soggy, everyone.
**[07:51] all**
Let's eat!
**[07:54] haru**
Here's your first mission...
**[07:56] both**
Snowman Monster!
**[08:11] yu**
What happened?
**[08:12] io**
It seems to be a power outage.
**[08:15] haru**
Hey, the power went out
before we even did anything.
**[08:18] en**
Yumoto, where's the flashlight?
**[08:20] yu**
I'm looking for it!
**[08:22] ryu**
That's my leg!
**[08:24] at**
That's my head!
**[08:25] io**
Really.
**[08:26] io**
This is why you should have a disaster
readiness kit, just in case.
**[08:34] yu**
Hey, it's back on!
**[08:36] yu**
Great!
**[08:37] en**
Not great.
**[08:39] en**
The song is over.
**[08:41] at**
Too bad, huh, En-chan?
**[08:43] io**
Anyway, let's eat our soba before the
power goes out again, then get going.
**[08:49] io**
They're soggy...
**[08:52] aki**
They used that power outage to
take the wind out of our sails!
**[08:55] haru**
Even more unforgivable!
**[08:57] both**
Go, Snowman Monster!
**[09:03] mon**
The land is my canvas!
**[09:05] mon**
I'll paint it in my image!

Okay,
**[09:21] en**
I'd better get going.
**[09:23] en**
Thanks for the meal, Yumoto.
**[09:25] at**
I think I'll head home, too.
**[09:27] yu**
Huh?
**[09:27] yu**
You're really leaving?
**[09:29] io**
It's about time for me, too.
**[09:31] ryu**
And me.
**[09:33] all**
Well, see you!
**[09:35] all**
Have a happy New Year!
**[09:37] en**
Huh?
**[09:39] en**
It won't open!
**[09:42] ryu**
Yumoto.
**[09:43] ryu**
Did you lock the door so we couldn't leave?
**[09:45] yu**
Of course not!
**[09:51] en**
What's with all this snow?
**[09:52] at**
It wasn't coming down at all before...
**[09:55] io**
And the weather forecast said it would
be clear skies all over the country...
**[10:01] aki**
They won't be able to get out.
**[10:03] haru**
Now we'll send them the present
we've been holding onto.
**[10:06] haru**
Snowman Monster, third mission!
**[10:13] io**
Looks like we'll be having
New Year's at Yumoto's house.
**[10:16] at**
Yeah, there's just too much snow.
**[10:20] yu**
Ten seconds to the new year!

I'm Snowman Monster!
**[10:43] mon**
To celebrate the new year,
I'll paint you in my image!
**[10:46] en**
Close the freaking window,
it's cold out there!
**[10:48] ryu**
Yeah, c'mon.
**[10:49] ryu**
It's cold.
**[10:51] mon**
Hey!
**[10:52] mon**
A monster just showed up!
**[10:54] mon**
Come on!
**[10:54] mon**
Stand up and fight!
**[10:56] en**
Can't you give us New Year's off?
**[10:57] at**
There's no way we can fight
in this cold. No way.
**[11:00] ryu**
I can't leave the kotatsu.
**[11:01] ryu**
I *will* not.
**[11:02] yu**
Wom-san's all curled up
under the kotatsu, too!
**[11:05] io**
Working the New Year's
holiday demands a pay bump.
**[11:08] io**
And it's currently midnight,
**[11:09] io**
so we'd need a late night bonus, too...
**[11:12] mon**
Oh no!
**[11:13] wom**
Don't go to any trouble.
**[11:15] en**
Then it's settled.
**[11:16] en**
We're taking the holiday off.
**[11:18] at**
It's decided.
**[11:21] all**
Cheers!
**[11:24] aki**
I bet they've all been
turned into snowmen by now.
**[11:29] haru**
Take that, Yumoto!
**[11:31] haru**
Take that, Defense Club!
**[11:33] dada**
Go on, eat your New Year's stew!
**[11:36] mon**
I can't tell them I went
home without getting them to fight me...

What do I do?!

En-chan, you still only have three?
**[12:26] en**
So what if I do?
**[12:27] yu**
I've got three, too!
**[12:29] ryu**
I haven't gotten a single card yet.
**[12:32] ryu**
I'm a shoo-in for the punishment.

As am I.

It's the short arms that do it.

Hey.

Yeah?

What's the deal with dominos?
**[13:15] en**
They make no sense.
**[13:17] ryu**
In the end, you just knock them all over.
**[13:19] ryu**
I don't get the motivation behind it.
**[13:22] wom**
The enjoyment comes
**[13:23] wom**
from the thrill of accomplishment at
seeing something through together—
**[13:27] en**
Yeah, there's none.
**[13:29] ryu**
Speaking of, I don't get the motivation for
being on those male cheer squads, either.
**[13:33] ryu**
They're supposed to be encouraging people!
**[13:34] en**
Yeah, guys in big jackets clapping on a
3-3-7 beat doesn't really do it for me.
**[13:39] wom**
It's a tradition overflowing
with manly spirit,
**[13:41] wom**
the bonds of male friendship,
**[13:43] wom**
and other such wonderful...
**[13:45] mon**
If they won't fight me, I'll
bring the fight to them!

Speaking of things I don't understand,
what's with the way girls go shopping?
**[14:04] yu**
One, and... two!
**[14:07] yu**
I win!
**[14:09] at**
I'm so sick of this.
**[14:11] io**
We've done karuta, fukuwarai,
and top-spinning.
**[14:14] io**
This is the game we're stuck with.
**[14:16] en**
Skipping makes no sense to me, either.
**[14:18] ryu**
Yeah, I hear you!
**[14:20] ryu**
You just bounce up and down,
barely moving forward at all!
**[14:24] en**
It also makes you more
likely to trip and fall.
**[14:26] wom**
I think it's a full-body expression of that

whoop-de-doo, pitter-patter,
zing-zing feeling in your heart!

Whoop-de-doo, pitter-patter, zing-zing...

I haven't had a lot of that lately.
**[14:38] ryu**
Same.
**[14:39] ryu**
It's all been hurgh and brrr for me lately.

If you want whoop-de-doo,
pitter-patter, zing-zing that bad,

Snow, snow, snow, blizzard!

Senpai!

Skipping is great, huh?
**[14:56] ryu**
Even though it's a blizzard,
I'm having tons of fun!
**[14:58] en**
Yeah!
**[14:59] en**
Why did I reject it for so long?
**[15:02] en**
It's a crime that only kids do it!
**[15:04] wom**
I feel utterly whoop-de-doo,
pitter-patter, zing-zing!
**[15:08] mon**
The attack's not working at all!

In that case, time for the "Slip and Fall in the Snow

It's slippery here.

Be careful.

I haven't had a pitter-patter zing-zing
feeling like this in a while.
**[15:48] en**
Yeah,

We're the ones who have been
sending monsters after you!
**[00:22] (Flashback) aki**
Don't you get it yet?
**[00:23] (Flashback) aki**
We, the brothers, are...
**[00:26] (Flashback) both**
Galaxy Idols: The VEPPer!
**[00:33] haru**
They've ignored us since New Year...
**[00:36] haru**
that's a month and a half!
**[00:38] aki**
Unforgivable.
**[00:39] aki**
We revealed our secret...
**[00:41] aki**
we gave them the shock
of a lifetime, and yet...
**[00:45] haru**
We identified ourselves explicitly,
***SIGN*** Grr grr grr grr
**[00:47] haru**
yet they didn't say a
single word in response...
**[00:49] haru**
Are they mocking us?!
**[00:51] aki**
What they're doing isn't even mocking us.
**[00:54] aki**
I think they don't even care about us at all.
**[00:57] haru**
Unforgivable!
***SIGN*** Earth Defense Club (lol)
**[01:00] yu**
Oh yeah!
**[01:01] yu**
Did you know?
**[01:03] yu**
Tomorrow's Valentine's Day!
**[01:05] en**
Oh, I totally forgot.
***SIGN*** Oden
Warm and Fluffy!
**[01:07] en**
But I'm sure Atsushi will
be giving me something.
**[01:09] at**
Something? You mean chocolate, right?
**[01:12] at**
Speaking of forgetting things,
**[01:15] at**
are you sure we shouldn't be doing
something about the Beppu Brothers?
**[01:18] ryu**
Yeah, they were all...
**[01:20] ryu**
"Galaxy Idol the VEPPer,"
or something, right?
**[01:25] io**
We've ignored them for a month and a half.
**[01:27] io**
It's a little late to comment on it now.
**[01:29] yu**
I'm just glad we know where
the monsters are coming from!
**[01:34] at**
Yeah, that's true.
**[01:36] wom**
That the Beppu Brothers are creating monsters
**[01:39] wom**
is an alarming problem in itself!
**[01:41] en**
Yeah, those two don't really seem
like the type to just drop it...
***SIGN*** The Chemical Substance of Love
**[03:29] yu**
What's with those helicopters?
**[03:31] gora**
They seem to be carrying chocolate.
**[03:33] yu**
Wow!
**[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.
**[03:45] yu**
Galaxy Idols The VEPPer sure are a cut above!
**[03:49] gora**
Galaxy Idols?
**[03:50] yu**
Yeah, that's what they called themselves!
**[03:55] yu**
Bro?
**[03:57] gora**
Oh, Yumoto.
**[03:59] gora**
I made chocolate breakfast gruel.
**[04:03] yu**
Wow! Great!
**[04:05] yu**
Looks delicious!
**[04:07] gora**
You should eat it while it's still hot.
**[04:09] gora**
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**
Dammit!
**[04:23] haru**
I want it!
**[04:25] haru**
If not for Hakone Yumoto...
**[04:29] aki**
Why don't we get rid of him?
**[04:31] aki**
They've ignored us for a month and a half...
**[04:35] haru**
This time, at last, we'll
settle things with them.
**[04:39] dada**
Yeah!
**[04:40] dada**
Let's beat 'em!
**[04:41] both**
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!
**[05:05] ryu**
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!
**[07:51] yu**
Time for a cuddlefest!
**[07:57] yu**
And...
**[07:59] yu**
I want to cuddle you senpai, too!
**[08:02] yu**
Senpai...
**[08:03] yu**
I love you!
**[08:05] ryu**
No way!
**[08:06] at**
There's something definitely
weird in that chocolate...
**[08:09] en**
Anyway, we'd better run.
**[08:10] io**
Good idea!
***SIGN*** Earth Defense Club (lol)
**[08:11] yu**
Senpai!
**[08:15] yu**
Senpai! Where are you?
**[08:18] yu**
En-chan-senpai?
**[08:19] at**
Hey, he singled you out.
**[08:21] yu**
Found you!
**[08:23] yu**
You always act so indifferent,
**[08:25] yu**
but I know you really care
about us, En-chan-senpai!
**[08:28] yu**
I love you for it!
**[08:30] at**
He confessed his love while cuddling him...
**[08:32] io**
Just hearing it is embarrassing.
**[08:35] ryu**
Yumoto's got passion.
**[08:36] en**
Yumoto! Atsushi's right there! There!
**[08:38] at**
En-chan!
**[08:39] io**
Selling out his friend?
**[08:40] yu**
Yeah! Atsushi-senpai!
**[08:40] at**
Hey, Yumoto, calm down!
**[08:43] yu**
Atsushi-senpai, I think you're the
reason the Defense Club exists!
**[08:47] yu**
You're like a mom, but I think you
secretly have a dark side, too!
**[08:52] yu**
I love that about you!
**[08:53] at**
Stop it!
**[08:54] en**
Well, that sucked.
**[08:56] ryu**
You know, Senpai, you sold
out your best friend.
**[08:59] en**
Atsushi would have done the same thing.
**[09:01] io**
I can't deny it.
**[09:02] at**
Yumoto, that's enough.
**[09:04] at**
Look. Ryuu's right there!
**[09:05] ryu**
Are you kidding me?!
**[09:06] yu**
Ryuu-senpai...
**[09:06] ryu**
I'm outta here!
**[09:09] yu**
You say you love girls,
**[09:12] yu**
but I know you treasure us most of all.
**[09:17] yu**
And I love you too, Ryuu-senpai!
**[09:20] ryu**
Cut it out!
**[09:21] en**
Is it just my imagination,
or is Ryuu enjoying this?
**[09:24] io**
I can't look directly at it.
**[09:26] at**
But you're up next, Io.
**[09:27] yu**
Io-senpai!
**[09:28] io**
No, I believe I'll pass!
**[09:31] yu**
Io-senpai, I know you value money,
**[09:34] yu**
but you value the love we
share the most! I love you!
**[09:39] io**
I-I get it! So please, stop it!
**[09:41] ryu**
Io's not used to that kind of thing.
**[09:44] at**
Yeah, he's red as a beet.
**[09:46] en**
What are we gonna do about this?
**[09:48] wom**
I just investigated,
**[09:49] wom**
and those chocolates
**[09:50] wom**
have the chemical substance
capsicum inside them!
**[09:55] wom**
We just have to wait for
his excitement to wear off!
**[09:57] en**
So when will it wear off?
**[10:00] wom**
I'm afraid I don't know...
**[10:03] yu**
Come on, let's have another cuddle party!
**[10:08] yu**
Senpai, wait for me!
**[10:13] haru**
It's all going as planned, I see.
**[10:15] aki**
How are you feeling, Hakone Yumoto?
**[10:17] aki**
Amazing, right?
**[10:19] yu**
Yeah, just amazing!
**[10:21] haru**
He's stupid.
**[10:22] haru**
He's far too stupid.
**[10:23] aki**
How could someone like him
get Gora-san all to himself?
**[10:27] ryu**
Does that mean you're the guys who
sent us those weird chocolates?
**[10:32] haru**
Yeah, that's right!
**[10:33] haru**
Because you're in our way, to be honest!
**[10:35] aki**
How dare you ignore our declaration
of war for a month and a half!
**[10:40] aki**
Today, at last, we're going to eliminate you!

From the universe itself!

In other words, we hate your guts!

In particular...

What was that?

Huh? Idols like you?

Hakone Yumoto.

You must disappear from this

That goes for all of you!

Let's go, Battle Lovers!

It's time for an idol showdown!

Hey, they're talking about idols again.
**[12:07] at**
What does that even mean?
**[12:08] ryu**
Well, I'm an idol, at least...
**[12:11] io**
I can say with confidence
that I am *not* an idol.
**[12:15] wom**
But what we do know
**[12:17] wom**
is that the VEPPer are the
ones sending the monsters!
**[12:20] wom**
We should probably fight...
**[12:22] en**
Sure, but it doesn't seem like
they're trying to destroy Earth
**[12:24] en**
or humanity like the
Conquest Club from before.
**[12:28] en**
I say we ignore them.
**[12:29] at**
Yeah, ignore them.
**[12:31] ryu**
Agreed.
**[12:31] io**
We're not making any money off it, so...
**[12:33] en**
Well, so long!

S-Stop it!

What are you thinking?
**[12:39] haru**
Dammit!
**[12:40] haru**
Stop that! It feels so good!
**[12:42] dada**
I think we'd better send a monster!

First, get us out of here!
**[12:46] dada**
Okay! Fluffhugger!

**[18:11] yu**
My wellspring of love never stops gushing!
**[18:15] en**
Is it okay to let this happen?
**[18:17] at**
There are quite a lot of monsters...
**[18:19] ryu**
Looks like trouble.
**[18:20] io**
It would be hard to take them all alone...
**[18:24] yu**
Okay, let's get going!
**[18:26] yu**
A drop of love for each of you!
**[18:29] en**
A new technique?
**[18:30] at**
Yumoto's got a real flair for the dramatic.
**[18:32] ryu**
I can't watch.
**[18:34] io**
I wonder where he learned that.
**[18:36] yu**
Go flying, Love Sprinkle!
**[18:41] en**
Yep, it's a new technique.
**[18:43] wom**
Even I never expected a technique like this!
**[18:51] mon**
What is this feeling?
**[18:52] mon**
Strange but enjoyable!
**[18:54] mon**
I don't know what it is,
but it makes me happy!
**[18:59] haru**
What the hell is that?
**[19:00] aki**
Those love-starved monsters...
**[19:03] aki**
It's like feeling love for the
first time has addled their minds.
**[19:06] dada**
This is a very bad development!
**[19:06] yu**
Love is good!
**[19:08] yu**
It feels so good!
**[19:10] yu**
Now everyone, wallow in the love!
**[19:15] mon**
Let's support him!
**[19:15] mon**
Let's all support that red angel!
***SIGN*** LOVE

Red angel?
**[19:23] ryu**
I think they mean Yumoto...
**[19:25] at**
They seem to really love him.
**[19:27] io**
It's a bit creepy, but I can feel it.
**[19:29] haru**
What are they doing?
**[19:31] aki**
Their chants make no sense.
**[19:34] aki**
They're idiots, start to finish.
**[19:36] en**
That's enough, Yumoto.
**[19:36] yu**
Thanks, everyone!
**[19:37] en**
You're too pleased with yourself.
**[19:39] at**
Yumoto!
**[19:41] at**
Use the True Love Fountain already!
**[19:44] yu**
Okay!
**[19:45] yu**
Everyone, accept my love!
**[19:48] yu**
True Love Fountain!
**[20:03] yu**
Love is over!
**[20:08] boy**
That kid's pretty cute!
**[20:10] boy**
He looks like an idol!
**[20:14] dada**
Haru-chan, Aki-chan!
**[20:15] dada**
I think it's time you stepped in!
**[20:18] aki**
Yes.
**[20:20] aki**
I can't stand to look at this
disgusting sight anymore.
**[20:23] haru**
Hakone Yumoto really is unforgivable!
**[20:26] haru**
Hey!
**[20:26] haru**
It's not over yet!
**[20:28] aki**
We're going to fight you!
**[20:31] yu**
But I don't wanna fight!
**[20:33] yu**
I wanna cuddle with you again, VEPPer-san!
**[20:36] both**
Silence!
**[20:37] haru**
Unlucky you!
**[20:39] aki**
Unhappy you!
**[20:41] haru**
Take our resentment...
**[20:43] aki**
...and be grateful to get it!
**[20:45] both**
Deadly...
**[20:48] yu**
Cuddle!
**[20:51] aki**
This is so humiliating!
**[20:52] haru**
Shut up! Stop it!
**[20:55] aki**
I can't take it, Haru!
**[20:56] aki**
Let's pull back for now!
**[20:57] haru**
Yeah, I can't take it!
**[20:59] yu**
But wait!
**[21:02] yu**
They left.
**[21:04] yu**
Okay, Senpai!
**[21:06] yu**
Please let me cuddle you!
**[21:14] en**
It's no use.
**[21:15] at**
Isn't there any way to snap him out of it?
**[21:18] ryu**
Let's take him to the bath! The bath!
**[21:19] io**
That's a fine idea!
**[21:23] en**
Come on, Yumoto!
**[21:24] yu**
What's going on!?
**[21:30] yu**
I wanna cuddle more...
**[21:33] go**
What's wrong, Yumoto?!
**[21:35] en**
Sir, Yumoto's been acting strangely
**[21:36] en**
since he ate some chocolate
the Beppu Brothers gave him.
**[21:40] go**
What?!
**[21:47] go**
Be strong, Yumoto!
**[21:49] go**
Snap out of it!
**[21:51] yu**
Huh?
**[21:52] yu**
Why am I in the bath with you, bro?
**[21:55] go**
You're all right now.
**[21:56] go**
I'm so glad you're safe.
**[21:57] yu**
Huh?
**[21:58] en**
As always, Gora-san brings
the serious brotherly love.
**[22:02] ryu**
But what's up with those Beppu Brothers?
**[22:04] at**
They were firing off some kind
of move or something, right?
**[22:09] io**
They gave themselves that weird name, too.
**[22:11] io**
I guess there's more to
them that meets the eye.
**[22:13] wom**
Galaxy Idols, the VEPPer...
**[22:17] wom**
We cannot ignore them!

**[00:08] yu**
Mornin'...
**[00:09] all**
Heya.
**[00:09] io**
Good day.
**[00:15] en**
There's something you don't see every day...
**[00:17] at**
What is it?
**[00:18] en**
Yumoto just sighed!
**[00:20] all**
What?
**[00:20] all**
No way!
**[00:21] yu**
What?
**[00:23] yu**
I can sigh sometimes, too...
**[00:25] en**
Can not.
**[00:26] at**
Yeah, you can't.
**[00:27] ryu**
Can't.
**[00:28] io**
You cannot.
**[00:29] wom**
What happened?
**[00:31] wom**
Does it have anything to do with VEPPer?
**[00:33] yu**
No, I don't care about that.
**[00:36] en**
Wombat's been getting more careless with
how he treats Mr. Tawarayama lately.
**[00:40] io**
I believe he's always been that way.
**[00:42] ryu**
So rude to a dead person.
**[00:44] wom**
He is not dead!
**[00:46] wom**
He's just in sleep mode!
**[00:47] ryu**
What is he, a computer?
**[00:49] at**
So why are you sighing, Yumoto?
**[00:54] yu**
Something important to me is going away.
**[00:56] io**
Something important to you?
**[00:58] en**
Not Wombat?
**[01:00] at**
I'm curious.
**[01:01] at**
What is it?
**[01:02] ryu**
This isn't a sex thing, is it?
**[01:04] io**
Why are you asking so nervously?
**[01:07] yu**
It's not a sex thing!
**[01:08] yu**
It's Binan Land!
**[01:10] yu**
They're tearing it down!
**[01:13] all**
Oh.
**[01:16] yu**
What kind of hum-drum reaction is that?!
**[01:18] at**
I just haven't heard that name in so long.
**[01:22] io**
He's right.
***SIGN*** Notice About Closing of Binan Land
***SIGN*** To all our regular patrons, we must regrettably cease operations. We thank you for your loyal devotion all these years. Binan Land Staff
**[01:24] io**
It says Binan Land is closing
at the end of the month.
***SIGN*** Binan Land
Bringing You Tons of Fun!
**[01:28] ryu**
Well, go figure.
**[01:30] ryu**
I don't know a single couple who went
there that didn't break up afterwards.
**[01:33] en**
That's your standard?
**[01:35] ryu**
Well, if you're going on a date, it's
gotta be that You-Know-What-land or Sea.
**[01:39] at**
That's their brand. Young or old,
boy or girl, anyone can enjoy it.
**[01:43] en**
But Binan's just got the
sad old ferris wheel,
**[01:46] en**
the sad kid's coaster, and that's about it.
**[01:49] ryu**
And that other thing!
**[01:50] ryu**
The sad little merry-go-round!
**[01:52] io**
Wait a minute.
**[01:54] io**
It says they did a hero show at one point, too.
**[01:57] en**
Seriously?
**[01:58] io**
But "they were so scary, they stopped
after one performance," it says.
**[02:03] ryu**
What's there to be scared of in a hero show?
**[02:05] en**
And they only held one?
**[02:09] at**
So you have a choice between sad or scary?
**[02:11] at**
What a meeting of extremes!
**[02:12] yu**
You're all so mean, Senpai!
**[02:14] yu**
Stop calling it sad!
**[02:16] wom**
Binan Land...
**[02:18] wom**
There's something familiar about that name...
**[02:21] ryu**
You don't have to humor him.
**[02:23] io**
This is how the world works.
**[02:25] io**
Consider it an education.
**[02:27] yu**
You stupid-dupid numbat senpai!
**[02:34] io**
Were we too hard on him?
**[02:35] ryu**
He did say it was important to him...
**[02:38] en**
Just what is a numbat, anyway?
**[02:40] at**
Maybe he meant dingbat?
**[02:42] ryu**
Is a dingbat even a real thing?
**[02:45] io**
He could have also meant
nimrod or numbskull, too.
**[02:48] at**
I see.
**[02:50] at**
Yumoto quality.
**[02:51] en**
Either way, we were probably too hard on him.
**[02:54] all**
Yeah...
**[02:57] wom**
Binan Land...
**[03:00] wom**
I'm just sure I've heard that name...
**[03:01] ryu**
I told you, forget it!
***SIGN*** Days of Love and Acclaim
**[04:40] haru**
Stupidity might be the
strongest thing there is.
**[04:43] aki**
What I really can't stand is
***SIGN*** Foolish
**[04:45] aki**
how astronomically lame they
are compared to Gora-san.
**[04:49] haru**
You're so right.
**[04:50] haru**
I'd like them to disappear
without a single particle remaining.
**[04:53] jun**
I hate lame things, too.
***SIGN*** Junya Entaro
**[04:59] jun**
It's an honor to be here.
**[05:00] jun**
That reminds me.
**[05:01] jun**
Binan Land is finally closing, you know?
**[05:05] jun**
That place was just the lamest, right?
**[05:08] jun**
It never changed or improved,
just gathered rust.
**[05:11] jun**
I'm so glad it's going away!
**[05:21] haru**
Did you just call Binan Land lame?
**[05:23] aki**
You're the one who doesn't understand!
**[05:26] haru**
We're going to teach you...
**[05:28] aki**
...the wonders of Binan Land.
**[05:34] yu**
Those senpai of mine are just the worst!
**[05:37] gora**
Binan Land?
**[05:38] gora**
I had a rough time there...
**[05:41] yu**
Huh?
**[05:41] yu**
Bro, you're down on it, too?
**[05:44] gora**
Goodness, I nearly burned to death.
**[05:47] yu**
At Binan Land?
**[05:49] gora**
Though, looking back,
it's become a good memory.
**[05:56] all**
Yumoto-kun!
**[05:58] all**
We're very sorry!
**[06:00] all**
Let's go play!
**[06:03] yu**
We're here! We're here!
***SIGN*** Last Day
**[06:04] yu**
It's Binan Land! Yay!
**[06:06] en**
He sure is excited.
**[06:07] at**
You're not excited enough, En-chan.
**[06:10] yu**
But are you sure you want
to pay my entry fee?
**[06:13] at**
We're splitting your ticket,
so it's only 480 yen each.
**[06:17] yu**
480 yen?!
**[06:19] yu**
That's a lot of money!
**[06:20] en**
Just take it.
**[06:21] yu**
Thanks!
**[06:23] yu**
I thought this might happen,
**[06:25] yu**
so Bro made me some Bomb Rice Balls!
**[06:29] yu**
When you go to an amusement park,
you need ones with pickled plums,
**[06:31] yu**
tuna mayo, bonito flakes, hard-boiled egg,
**[06:33] yu**
fried chicken and vinegar-miso onions!
**[06:35] en**
I thought I heard one in there I
should really be objecting to...
**[06:40] yu**
It's good!
**[06:41] en**
Well, forget it.
**[06:44] en**
There's something pretty depressing
about a trip to the amusement park
**[06:47] en**
with a bunch of guys.
**[06:49] ryu**
Oh, really?
**[06:50] ryu**
I find it refreshing.
**[06:52] io**
It would be for you, Ryuu.
**[06:56] at**
It's the last day,
but there aren't many people...
**[06:59] en**
Really?
**[07:00] en**
Isn't this standard?
**[07:02] io**
What ride should we start with?
**[07:04] at**
That's right.
**[07:05] at**
We want rides, not attractions.
**[07:07] yu**
Oh! This one!
**[07:08] yu**
The Mad Mouse!
**[07:09] yu**
I rode this one seven times, then barfed!
**[07:12] yu**
I recommend it!
**[07:13] en**
You're sure it wasn't
the vinegar-miso onions?
**[07:15] at**
Why would you ride it until you barf?
**[07:17] yu**
The Mad Mouse is more hard core
than your standard roller coaster!
**[07:28] yu**
See? Hard core, right?
**[07:30] io**
Once was enough for me.
**[07:32] io**
You did it seven times?
**[07:33] ryu**
I can't believe you survived it.
**[07:35] yu**
Well, after I barfed,
**[07:38] yu**
Bro laid me down on a bench, and...
**[07:41] yu**
And what happened after that?
**[07:44] en**
What's wrong, Yumoto?
**[07:49] (Flashback) gora**
I'm sorry, Yumoto.
**[07:52] (Flashback) gora**
I should have stopped you
before it got so bad.
**[07:54] (Flashback) yu**
It's okay.
**[07:56] (Flashback) yu**
I just got too excited.
**[08:02] (Flashback) gora**
Yumoto, I'm sorry.
**[08:07] (Flashback) yu**
What's wrong, big bro?
**[08:10] (Flashback) yu**
Can you wait here a while by yourself?
**[08:12] (Flashback) yu**
Y-Yeah.
**[08:13] (Flashback) gora**
You're sure you'll be okay?
**[08:15] (Flashback) yu**
Yeah.
**[08:17] (Flashback) yu**
I'll be okay!
**[08:18] (Flashback) gora**
Okay.
**[08:19] (Flashback) gora**
I'll be back soon!
**[08:26] yu**
Huh?
**[08:27] yu**
When did he come back?
**[08:29] yu**
I don't remember him coming back...
**[08:31] ryu**
But if he didn't come back,
he wouldn't be here now, right?
**[08:34] yu**
That's true...
**[08:37] yu**
All I have is the memory of feeling
kind of anxious and lonely...
**[08:41] io**
Well, that axe was clearly
cause for concern, wasn't it?
**[08:46] at**
Hey.
**[08:46] at**
Do you think that CIDE
thing Gora-san mentioned...
**[08:50] wom**
Everyone!
**[08:54] wom**
Everyone!
**[08:56] wom**
You must Love Making into the Battle Lovers!
**[09:01] io**
Hey, the Doppler effect.
**[09:03] en**
You used to see that in tokusatsu and stuff.
**[09:06] en**
Scenes where they're screaming and you're like
"where are you even supposed to be yelling from?"
**[09:09] at**
We don't have a choice.
**[09:10] at**
Let's go, too!
**[09:12] all**
Yeah!
**[09:17] mon**
I'm tired of spinning around
and around in the same place!
**[09:24] mon**
The limited track.
**[09:25] mon**
The pre-designated movements.
**[09:26] mon**
The days of oppression.
**[09:28] mon**
I've had enough of it!
**[09:32] en**
Well, he has a point.
**[09:33] at**
I know how he feels.
**[09:35] mon**
Don't act like you understand!
**[09:38] yu**
Love Making!
**[09:42] yu**
Love!
**[09:43] yu**
We are, forever, the heirs
to the throne of love...
**[09:46] five**
Battle Lovers!
**[09:48] yu**
Feel the power...
**[09:50] five**
...of love!
**[09:52] yu**
Let's go!
**[09:54] yu**
Scarlet Love Lumiere!
**[09:58] mon**
W-Wait a minute!
**[10:00] mon**
I have over 32 pages of detailed backstory!
**[10:04] mon**
Are you sure you want to
end this that quickly?
**[10:08] yu**
Backstory is only effective when
it's intertwined with the drama!
**[10:11] yu**
All you're doing is padding the narrative!
**[10:15] mon**
Th-That's cold...
**[10:17] yu**
If you've got a problem,
**[10:18] yu**
try changing yourself before
resenting everything else!
**[10:20] yu**
We can change the world!
**[10:27] yu**
True Love Attack!
**[10:39] yu**
True Love Fountain!
**[10:56] yu**
Love is over!
**[10:58] yu**
Okay!
**[10:59] yu**
Let's Love Out and ride the Mad Mouse again!
**[11:03] aki**
"We can change the world?"
**[11:05] haru**
Stop stealing lines!
**[11:08] en**
You two...
**[11:11] both**
Galaxy Idols...
**[11:13] both**
The VEPPer!
**[11:17] aki**
You five are so uncooperative.
**[11:20] haru**
Earth upbringing breeds poor taste.
**[11:22] haru**
Or rather, no taste at all.
**[11:24] aki**
That's right, I forgot.
**[11:27] aki**
We must apologize.
**[11:28] yu**
Um, VEPP-san...
**[11:30] both**
It's VEPPer!
**[11:33] yu**
VEPPer-san.
**[11:35] yu**
VEPPer-san, you say you're really big idols,
**[11:38] yu**
and I don't really understand, but okay.
**[11:42] yu**
I also get that we're not
even close to your level.
**[11:47] haru**
What are you talking about?
**[11:49] yu**
We're not trying to compete with you.
**[11:52] yu**
So could you stop fighting us?
**[11:54] yu**
I feel kind of bad for the people
you turn into monsters, don't you?
**[12:00] yu**
So if it might be possible...
**[12:03] yu**
Couldn't we just get along from now on?
**[12:09] en**
Yumoto, really...
**[12:10] at**
Sorry to be harsh, but that's awful.
**[12:12] yu**
Huh? How come?
**[12:15] ryu**
Would you be happy hearing,
"I won't date you, but can't we be friends"?
**[12:18] io**
It's like saying, "the investment failed,
so pay me back half the money."
**[12:24] yu**
Huh?
**[12:25] haru**
Hakone Yumoto...
**[12:29] aki**
And the Defense Club...
**[12:32] both**
We won't forget how you humiliated VEPPer!
**[12:36] haru**
You want to get along?
**[12:38] aki**
Isn't that funny?
**[12:40] aki**
Haru, it is truly funny!
**[12:42] haru**
We really want you to disappear!
**[12:45] aki**
Without a trace or a memory left behind!
**[12:50] at**
Wait a minute.
**[12:52] at**
There's really just one
question I want to ask you.
**[12:56] at**
Why do you hate us in the first place?
**[13:00] en**
You can't really hate someone
**[13:01] en**
unless they're at least on your own level...
**[13:09] both**
Maximum Gorar was a person who may
have become a big brother to us!

*This is the end, Maximum Gorar!*
**[13:29] haru**
Gorar!
**[13:30] aki**
Don't worry, Haru!
**[13:32] aki**
Maximum Gorar never loses!
**[13:34] haru**
Y-Yeah...
**[13:35] haru**
Maximum Gorar is invincible!
**[13:41] io**
Huh? M-Maxi...?
**[13:44] ryu**
Who's that?
**[13:45] yu**
That's Gora's hero name.
**[13:47] ryu**
Huh?
**[13:48] ryu**
The Beppu Brothers know Gora-san?
**[13:50] io**
I'm not sure whether to object
**[13:52] io**
first to the "may have become
a big brother" line, or...
**[13:55] wom**
Everyone!
**[13:57] wom**
I feel I should explain!
**[14:00] wom**
Until a while back, Earth played host
to a battle of love and justice!
**[14:06] wom**
The people watched this
battle and called it...
**[14:10] wom**
"Can I Destroy the Earth? 2"
***SIGN*** Can I Destroy the Earth? 2
**[14:14] wom**
"2" of course means there was a "1"!

That's my big bro!
**[14:19] wom**
That's right!
**[14:20] wom**
The man protecting the Earth
was the ultimate warrior,

Are you not afraid of me?
**[15:00] (Flashback) aki**
Well, there's a guy inside the suit, right?
**[15:03] (Flashback) haru**
It's hard playing the villain
in hero shows, huh, Mister?
**[15:10] (Flashback) haru**
What is it?
**[15:12] (Flashback) mon**
I like you!
**[15:13] (Flashback) mon**
That sarcasm and cool-headedness.
**[15:15] (Flashback) mon**
You would make fine henchmen for me!
**[15:20] (Flashback) haru**
Stranger danger!
**[15:21] (Flashback) aki**
Police!
**[15:22] (Flashback) mon**
Too bad, Earthlings.
**[15:24] (Flashback) mon**
I did my research, and found
out that amusement parks
**[15:26] (Flashback) mon**
are places where the existence
of aliens is tolerated.
**[15:31] (Flashback) haru**
Monsters aren't supposed to be that smart,
you big brute!
**[15:35] (Flashback) mon**
I'll teach you one more thing.
**[15:37] (Flashback) mon**
Do you know why monsters always
attack kindergarten buses?
**[15:39] (Flashback) aki**
Because they're on TV shows for kids, right?
**[15:42] (Flashback) aki**
Let us go!
**[15:43] (Flashback) mon**
No.
**[15:45] (Flashback) mon**
It's because young humans are
the easiest to brainwash.
**[15:48] (Flashback) mon**
Soon, I will make you worship me.
**[15:51] (Flashback) haru**
Will not!
**[15:53] (Flashback) aki**
Someone!

This guy's not acting!

Your screams are useless!

No one can hear you!
**[16:06] (Flashback) gora**
I'm disappointed in you!
**[16:09] (Flashback) gora**
Seeing you attack young children!
**[16:13] (Flashback) mon**
Maximum Gorar!
**[16:19] (Flashback) gora**
Let those children go!
**[16:22] (Flashback) mon**
Never!
**[16:23] (Flashback) mon**
You're a mere thief,
attempting to steal my prey!
**[16:27] (Flashback) mon**
I will punish you!

Wood-Chopping Beam!
**[16:35] (Flashback) mon**
My, my.
**[16:36] (Flashback) mon**
Are you sure you want to do that?
**[16:37] (Flashback) mon**
Don't you care what happens
to these little Earthlings?
**[16:42] (Flashback) mon**
It seems you can't touch me
as long as I have hostages.
**[16:47] (Flashback) mon**
Today you die, Maximum Gorar!
**[16:50] (Flashback) mon**
Take this!
**[17:00] (Flashback) haru**
It's hot!
**[17:01] (Flashback) haru**
Don't tell me...
**[17:02] (Flashback) aki**
This is all real?
**[17:13] (Flashback) mon**
Rest in peace, Maximum Gorar!
**[17:17] (Flashback) both**
Gorar!
**[17:18] (Flashback) both**
Wake up! You have to wake up!
**[17:21] (Flashback) both**
Gorar, wake up!
**[17:23] (Flashback) both**
Maximum Gorar!
**[17:26] (Flashback) haru**
It can't be...

I don't like this plot twist.

It's no use.

Your fate has been decided.

You cannot change the world.

Thank you so much!
**[18:21] (Flashback) gora**
Thank you for cheering me on.
**[18:23] (Flashback) gora**
Take care, you two.
**[18:25] (Flashback) haru**
Huh? You're leaving already?
**[18:27] (Flashback) gora**
I'm sorry, I have Yumoto...
**[18:29] (Flashback) gora**
I mean, I have a child waiting for me.
**[18:32] (Flashback) gora**
Take this.
**[18:33] (Flashback) gora**
It's a Bomb Rice Ball.
**[18:38] (Flashback) gora**
There's pickled plums, tuna mayo,
**[18:39] (Flashback) gora**
bonito flakes, hard-boiled egg, fried chicken
**[18:41] (Flashback) gora**
and vinegar-miso onions inside.
**[18:45] (Flashback) gora**
Make mischief if you must.
**[18:46] (Flashback) gora**
Just grow up big and strong!
**[18:51] (Flashback) aki**
I wish he could stay with us forever...
**[18:55] (Flashback) haru**
Yeah...
**[19:01] yu**
Big bro...
**[19:02] at**
Which means that long ago, Gora-san...
**[19:04] ryu**
As Maximum Gorar...

...saved the Beppu Brothers?
**[19:11] en**
Wh-What did you say?!
**[19:16] at**
Tradition, tradition!
**[19:18] io**
We can't have a major plot twist
**[19:20] io**
without Yufuin-senpai shouting
"What did you say?!"
**[19:24] ryu**
That was a great "What did you say?!", too!
**[19:26] en**
Thank you tremendously for your praise.
**[19:28] haru**
Ruining our great story with
their snide comments...
**[19:32] aki**
They were unworthy both to hear
**[19:36] aki**
and know about our bond with Gora-san...
**[19:39] yu**
Hey, VEPP Brothers-san.
**[19:41] both**
It's VEPPer!
**[19:43] yu**
VEPPer-san, I'm glad you
like my brother so much,
**[19:47] yu**
but you shouldn't hate my
senpai because of that.
**[19:51] ryu**
Wrong, Yumoto.
**[19:54] ryu**
This is like a complicated
in-law relationship.
**[19:57] ryu**
"I like my husband, but
I hate my mother-in-law,
**[19:59] ryu**
and I hate my sister-in-law too."
**[20:02] io**
The whole "may have been a big brother to us"
**[20:04] io**
indicates a certain unhealthy attachment.
**[20:07] io**
Ryuu, you're surprisingly
proficient in psychology.
**[20:10] ryu**
Hey, don't say "surprisingly."
**[20:12] ryu**
Anyway, it's viscerally impossible
for them to get along with us.
**[20:16] ryu**
It defies logic.
**[20:18] aki**
Could you please stop psychoanalyzing us?
**[20:20] haru**
It's extremely aggravating, and creepy, too.
**[20:23] en**
No, no.
**[20:24] en**
I understand how you feel,
**[20:26] en**
but that's no reason to pester us.
**[20:29] at**
Yumoto and Gora-san are brothers.
**[20:31] at**
That's a fact that can't be changed.
**[20:33] en**
We may be the Battle Lovers,
**[20:35] en**
but if you don't stop stalking us, we're
willing to bring the authorities into this.
**[20:39] at**
What do you mean?
**[20:40] en**
Take them for arbitration or court,
or get a restraining order, perhaps.
**[20:45] wom**
Such graphic language from an
heir to the throne of love!
**[20:49] en**
If we can take this to a
higher authority, we should.
**[20:52] en**
All these battles are tiring me out.
**[20:53] at**
And bringing in a third party
should cut down on squabbling.
**[20:59] at**
Okay, we'll do that.

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,

he's lost all his usual social graces.

So what about the fight they

**[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.
**[09:54] haru**
Then...
**[09:55] haru**
Then I want Gorar to live in my room with me!
**[09:58] aki**
Huh? We have a guest room!
**[10:01] haru**
No!
**[10:02] haru**
Gorar will need a roommate to help him adjust
**[10:04] haru**
to his new life and take care of him!
**[10:07] aki**
Haru, you toss and turn in your sleep!
**[10:09] aki**
You'll keep Gorar up all night!
**[10:11] haru**
You *talk in your sleep*, Aki!
**[10:18] en**
Ew.
**[10:25] yu**
Give back my brother Gora!
**[10:27] yu**
Hakone Gora is Hakone Gora!
**[10:30] yu**
He's no more and no less!
**[10:32] yu**
My brother Gora should be my brother Gora!
**[10:35] both**
We refuse.
**[10:36] aki**
Hakone Gora's true form is Maximum Gorar.
**[10:40] haru**
His deserves a position appropriate
to his unparalleled charisma!
**[10:44] en**
And what makes VEPPer so appropriate?
**[10:48] both**
Let us tell you!
**[10:50] haru**
Gorar is a hero!
**[10:52] aki**
VEPPer are idols!
**[10:54] both**
It's a natural fit!
**[10:56] ryu**
No, no. They're different.
**[10:58] ryu**
As different as gender-swap and BL.
**[11:00] io**
As different as compound and
fixed interest over six months.
**[11:04] dada**
Haru! Aki!
**[11:05] atu**
Hey, he peed—
**[11:07] dada**
We should leave this backwater planet
behind and take off right now!
**[11:12] haru**
Are you... moist?
**[11:15] dada**
I need to talk to the promoters
about the space concert tour!
**[11:18] dada**
Better get going!
**[11:21] at**
What's that? An earthquake?
**[11:23] wom**
No! This is...
**[11:25] wom**
The sound of space engines firing up!
**[11:29] all**
Space engines?!
**[11:30] wom**
Yes, the rocket engines of a ship
**[11:32] wom**
that flies through space using highly
advanced scientific technology!
**[11:39] yu**
I won't let Bro Gora go!
**[11:44] all**
Yumoto!
**[11:45] yu**
Scarlet Love Lumiere!
**[11:48] en**
Wait!
**[11:53] yu**
En-chan-senpai, why did you stop me?!
**[11:56] en**
Calm down, Yumoto!
**[11:57] en**
We have a right to fight for Gora-san, too.
**[12:01] at**
He's always been a good host
to us at the Kurotama Bath.
**[12:04] ryu**
That's important.
**[12:05] io**
We're here with you, Yumoto.
**[12:08] wom**
Everyone, for the sake of Gora-san,
transform into the Battle Lovers!
**[12:14] en**
This love-filled planet
**[12:16] en**
will not abide those who lack love!
**[12:18] ryu**
Those who wield loveless power
**[12:20] ryu**
must kneel before love!
**[12:22] io**
Love is power!
**[12:23] io**
Love is hope!
**[12:25] atsu**
Be born for love!
**[12:27] atsu**
Give your life for love!
**[12:29] yu**
Love!
**[12:29] yu**
We are, forever, the heirs
to the throne of love...
**[12:32] five**
Battle Lovers!
**[12:34] yu**
Feel the power...
**[12:36] five**
...of love!
**[12:39] haru**
Too late.
**[12:40] haru**
You're the ones who said
you didn't want to fight.
**[12:43] aki**
You missed your chance.
**[12:44] aki**
Dadacha, take us home.
**[12:46] dada**
Well, you heard them.
**[12:48] dada**
You'd better get going.
**[12:50] dada**
If you don't,
**[12:51] dada**
I'll cast you into the vacuum of space!
**[12:55] en**
I'm really mad about how right they are.
**[12:57] at**
Though, agitating someone as much as you can
**[12:59] at**
then sweeping the rug out from under
them is a pretty common tactic.
**[13:02] io**
The effectiveness of that tactic...
**[13:04] ryu**
...is really getting under my skin.
**[13:08] yu**
Please!
**[13:10] yu**
Fight us!
**[13:12] dada**
This is...
**[13:13] dada**
That legendary tactic, total forthrightness?!
**[13:17] wom**
To refuse such an honest plea
**[13:20] wom**
would disgrace you both as idols and heroes!
**[13:23] wom**
What will you do?
**[13:24] haru**
A heartfelt gesture?
**[13:25] aki**
Cunning...
**[13:26] zun**
You must accept their offer!
**[13:29] io**
That voice came from Gora-san...
**[13:32] ryu**
Did he wake up?
**[13:33] ryu**
And he wants them to accept?
**[13:36] all**
You're...
**[13:37] zun**
Formerly head of TV Universe's programming
production department, section 2,
**[13:41] zun**
currently assistant head clerk-in-training
**[13:43] zun**
at TV Universe's historical
compilation office, copy division!
**[13:45] all**
Zundar!
**[13:47] dada**
Big bro!
**[13:48] all**
Big bro?!
**[13:50] zun**
Dear little brother, Dadacha!
**[13:51] zun**
I'm glad you're doing well!
**[13:54] dada**
You too, big bro!
**[13:55] dada**
I wasn't expecting you to
show up at a time like this!
**[13:59] zun**
Fortunately, given my current
position in the company,
**[14:01] zun**
it was easy to get vacation.
**[14:04] dada**
I got the box of detergents your
ex-wife's family sent during Bon!
**[14:09] zun**
Did you?
**[14:11] zun**
I haven't heard anything
from her lately at all...
**[14:14] dada**
I bet my nephews have all gotten big, too!
**[14:17] zun**
Yeah, the child support's
getting pretty rough.
**[14:20] ryu**
Huh?
**[14:21] ryu**
Didn't Zundar get demoted?
**[14:23] io**
And... they're brothers?
**[14:25] io**
They're not even the same species!
**[14:28] en**
"Copy clerk" sounds like a demotion to me.
**[14:30] at**
No, my biggest concern is
those serious family issues.
**[14:35] at**
Forget everything else!
**[14:37] wom**
That's right!
**[14:38] wom**
Forget everything else!
**[14:41] wom**
What happens here could
decide the fate of Earth!
**[14:46] zun**
My beloved little brother and
beloved Galaxy Idols, the VEPPer!
**[14:50] zun**
Now is the time for you to show
your glory to the universe!
**[14:54] haru**
Dadacha.
**[14:55] haru**
Who is this guy?
**[14:57] aki**
A porcupine?
**[14:58] zun**
On one side, the ones who ruined my TV show,
CIDE 2, and consigned it to the cancellation bin...
**[15:02] zun**
the Earth Defense Club!
**[15:04] zun**
The ones who had Chief Hireashi
sent to the DVD pressing factory,
**[15:07] zun**
and I, Zundar, to a do-nothing
job... the Battle Lovers!
**[15:12] zun**
And on the other side, the space idols
with an album currently on sale,
**[15:15] zun**
the VEPPer!
**[15:16] zun**
What brings them together?
**[15:18] zun**
Maximum Gorar of CIDE 1!
**[15:20] zun**
It's a beyond-thrilling development!
**[15:23] dada**
Big bro!
**[15:23] dada**
You're wonderful! Huggles!
**[15:26] ryu**
It's a little weird for him to label
it "beyond-thrilling" himself.
**[15:29] at**
Well, that's TV people for you.
**[15:32] zun**
This will bring big ratings for sure!
**[15:34] zun**
And this project will return me
to the programming department!
**[15:38] en**
Atsushi, tell him he's really counting
his chickens before they hatch.
**[15:42] at**
No, he's really psyched himself up.
**[15:44] at**
I would feel bad letting him
know the real story now.
**[15:47] yu**
I don't care about reasons or projects...
**[15:51] yu**
As long as you wake Bro Gora up safely!
**[15:55] haru**
This guy really does get under my skin.
**[15:57] aki**
I'd love to see him cry.
**[15:59] dada**
Good!
**[16:00] dada**
Now's the time!
**[16:02] zun**
Three, two, one, cue!
**[16:15] dada**
*Ladies and gentlemen!*
**[16:18] dada**
*Welcome to the amazing show!*
**[16:21] dada**
This is Idol Battle!
**[16:24] dada**
We're about to witness a
fierce and beautiful battle
**[16:27] dada**
for the title of #1 idols on Earth!
**[16:33] dada**
Will it be VEPPer or the Battle Lovers?
**[16:36] dada**
You're the ones who will decide!
**[16:38] dada**
Please use the "Like" button
on your remote control at home!
**[16:47] dada**
If the coin comes up Dadacha,
VEPPer will go first!
**[16:49] dada**
If it comes up Wombat, the
Battle Lovers will go first!
**[16:57] dada**
VEPPer goes first!
**[17:00] en**
Don't you think it's strange, Atsushi?
**[17:03] at**
How so?
**[17:04] en**
In games, usually going second
gives you the advantage, right?
**[17:07] at**
You're right!
**[17:08] at**
Especially at music recitals
and figure skating
**[17:10] at**
and other performance-based competitions.
**[17:14] en**
But when they learned they were
going first, they grinned.
**[17:26] dada**
Welcome to the VEPP theater!
**[17:29] dada**
I'm proud to introduce
**[17:31] dada**
that marvelous duo, the VEPPer!
**[17:36] dada**
Now's the time!
**[17:37] dada**
Enjoy the show!
**[17:43] dada**
*VEPPer, the twin stars
racing through the galaxy!*
**[17:50] dada**
*Let's illuminate the mysteries
of the universe...*
**[17:53] dada**
*On the name of the stars!*
**[18:03] dada**
*VEPPer, bringing a thrill
to this blue planet!*
**[18:10] dada**
*Let's illuminate the entire world!*
**[18:12] both**
The twin stars shining in the heavens!
**[18:13] dada**
*On the name of the stars!*
**[18:14] haru**
Salty Sol!
**[18:16] aki**
Melty Luna!
**[18:18] both**
Galaxy Idols, the VEPPer!
**[18:24] both**
*There's a shining light*
**[18:27] both**
*I won't let anyone else have*
**[18:30] both**
*A pure, great revolution*
**[18:33] both**
*Destiny! Fantasy! Galaxy!*
**[18:36] all**
Like! Like! Like!
**[18:40] voice**
Like!
**[18:47] io**
What's going on here?!
**[18:49] zun**
The audience's "Likes" become
attacks against their opponent!
**[18:52] wom**
A truly formidable advanced
scientific technology...
**[18:56] at**
There's too many!
**[18:58] en**
Don't shave down our HP
with these piddling things!
**[19:00] aki**
Maximum Gorar!
**[19:02] aki**
You were our light of hope!
**[19:04] haru**
We don't care if the Earth goes away!
**[19:06] haru**
As long as we have you, that's all we need!
**[19:08] aki**
Rather, we wish it *would* go away!
**[19:11] aki**
Because then, we could be together forever!
**[19:17] ryu**
A thrilling twist...
**[19:19] ryu**
or rather, a stalkery one!
**[19:20] io**
I can't move!
**[19:22] en**
I didn't think they'd have a
system like this in place...
**[19:24] at**
It's wearing me down both
emotionally and physically!
**[19:27] yu**
My brother...
**[19:28] yu**
I know he's Earth's hero!
**[19:31] yu**
And I know that sometimes he would prioritize
**[19:33] yu**
being a hero over being my brother...
**[19:36] yu**
But... But...
**[19:38] yu**
I don't want to lose him
to something like this!
**[19:42] aki**
The three of us will make
a new world together!
**[19:45] aki**
And you can join us there!
**[20:07] dada**
VEPPer received a surge of likes!
**[20:10] dada**
Oh?
**[20:11] dada**
Have the Battle Lovers
lost their will to fight?
**[20:13] dada**
If they don't stand up
before the count of five,
**[20:15] dada**
they'll forfeit the competition,
**[20:17] dada**
and the VEPPer will win by default!
**[20:21] dada**
Five!
**[20:22] dada**
Four!
**[20:23] dada**
Three!
**[20:24] three**
Hold it!
**[20:30] at**
Kin-chan?!
**[20:31] en**
They surprised me.
**[20:32] en**
What are they doing here?
**[20:33] at**
That's right. What about your study abroad?
**[20:35] kusa**
When you didn't respond to the email I sent,
**[20:38] kusa**
I knew something was wrong.
**[20:39] ari**
I've never had a faster trip home.
**[20:43] gero**
You certainly are magnets
for trouble, aren't you?
**[20:46] ryu**
What was that?
**[20:53] gero**
Well, well.
**[20:54] gero**
So you're not completely down!
**[20:55] io**
And you three appear to
have nothing better to do!
**[20:58] ari**
So?
**[20:59] ari**
What's the show this time?
**[21:01] zun**
It's been some time, Caerula Adamas!
**[21:04] trio**
Zundar!
**[21:05] zun**
That's *Lord* Zundar, to you!
**[21:09] kusa**
We are no longer
**[21:11] kusa**
the kind of men who will follow you blindly.
**[21:14] zun**
Oh? You intend to defy me?
**[21:17] kusa**
If following the path we have chosen
**[21:19] kusa**
in a way you don't like
is the same as defiance,
**[21:22] kusa**
then let it be so!
**[21:24] zun**
Then prove to me that willingness
with your own blood!
**[21:28] dada**
That's my big bro! Everything
he says is so cool!
**[21:32] en**
Yeah.
**[21:33] en**
That *is* a more profound statement
**[21:34] en**
than I'd expect from a papa
porcupine with child support woes.
**[21:38] zun**
D-D-Do not speak of my children!
**[21:43] at**
En-chan!
**[21:48] kusa**
Conquest!
**[21:53] kusa**
The Golden Chevalier, shining in radiance!
**[21:56] kusa**
Aurite!
**[22:00] ari**
The Silver Chevalier, rustling young leaves!
**[22:03] ari**
Argent!
**[22:07] gero**
The Pearl Chevalier, making flowers bloom!
**[22:10] gero**
Perlite!
**[22:12] trio**
We are the rulers of this blue world...

Caerula Adamas!

we will not hesitate to fight you!

If the president and vice president say so...

We're okay now!
**[01:35] yu**
We can do it ourselves.
**[01:37] ari**
Really?
**[01:38] yu**
While you guys and our
Senpai were buying time,
**[01:41] yu**
our HP recovered!
**[01:43] wom**
The Battle Lover suits' highly
advanced scientific technology
**[01:47] wom**

powered by the placebo effect!

Wait, that means it's all in our heads, right?
**[01:55] yu**
Which means it's our turn to sing!
**[01:57] en**
You're kidding.
**[01:58] atsu**
It's either that or a smackdown.
**[02:01] ryu**
I'd rather sing.
**[02:02] io**
Same.
**[02:03] yu**
Then let's do it!
**[02:05] yu**
Our Earth Defense Club song!
**[02:11] all**
*No matter how times we fall,
we'll just get back up!*
**[02:16] all**
*Just as the sun rises from the ground!*
**[02:27] voices**
Like! Like! Like!
**[02:33] voices**
*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!
**[11:59] [Messenger] sign**
Wood-Chopping Warrior
Maximum Gorar
Finishing Move: Wood-Chopping Beam
Super Wood-Chopping Axe
**[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!
**[12:43] yu**
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?
**[13:55] io**
I'd like you to amend that statement!
**[13:57] haru**
I don't think so!
**[13:58] both**
Sure-Kill Thundering Comet!
**[14:02] en**
Ryuu!
**[14:03] atsu**
Io!
**[14:04] yu**
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!
**[14:50] haru**
We belong to Gorar-san...
**[14:53] aki**
And Gorar-san belongs to us!
**[14:58] yu**
Bro!
**[14:59] yu**
Bro!
**[15:01] aki**
You, who speak only in platitudes...
**[15:03] haru**
...are weaker than us, who
act in pure self-interest!
**[15:06] aki**
Feeling always triumphs...
**[15:08] haru**
...over reason!
**[15:11] yu**
Bro!
**[15:25] (Flashback) yu**
Big bro?
**[15:28] yu**
Big bro!
**[15:36] yu**
Yumoto?
**[15:38] aki**
Haru! Don't falter!
**[15:40] haru**
I'm not faltering!
**[15:44] atsu**
What were you thinking, VEPPer?
**[15:46] io**
What do you mean?
**[15:48] atsu**
If it's a contest of feelings,
**[15:49] atsu**
Yumoto's are going to be
stronger than VEPPer's.
**[15:51] en**
Overwhelmingly so.
**[15:53] en**
Talk about a miscalculation...
**[15:56] yu**
No! Bro! Come back to me!
**[16:04] kusa**
What we're seeing...
**[16:05] kusa**
The souls of the Hakone Yumoto of the present
**[16:06] kusa**
and the Hakone Yumoto of the past are
resonating with each other across space-time?
**[16:10] en**
Yumoto!
**[16:11] en**
Calm down!
**[16:12] atsu**
He's losing himself to his fear!
**[16:14] io**
You mean he's out of control?
**[16:15] ryu**
Dammit, what are you doing, you idiot?!
**[16:19] wom**
Y-Y-Yumoto-san!
**[16:22] yu**
Big bro! Where are you?!
**[16:25] haru**
H-He's...
**[16:26] ari**
Unbelievable!
**[16:30] yu**
I'm taking back my brother!
**[16:35] yu**
Ultimate...
**[16:36] yu**
Love...
**[16:38] yu**
Attack!
**[16:39] en**
Yumoto!
**[16:39] atsu**
Yumoto!
**[16:39] both**
Yumoto!
**[16:44] ryu**
Stop it, Yumoto!
**[16:45] io**
You mustn't!
**[16:46] en**
Don't forget the true nature of love!
**[16:48] atsu**
Yumoto!
**[16:48] atsu**
What is love?
**[16:51] en**
Answer us, Yumoto!
**[16:56] yu**
I...
**[16:57] ryu**
Stupid Yumoto!
**[16:58] io**
Really.
**[16:59] io**
We have such a troublesome kouhai among us.
**[17:02] atsu**
Get a grip. I mean it.
**[17:04] en**
Don't forget, your brother Gora
isn't the only one in your life.
**[17:06] en**
You have all of us, too.
**[17:08] yu**
I'm sorry, Senpai.
**[17:11] yu**
I was alone in the dark,
with the cold wind blowing,
**[17:16] yu**
when I heard your voices...
**[17:18] yu**
I understand now.
**[17:20] yu**
The "Ai" in "Idol"
**[17:22] yu**
is the "Ai" of Love!
**[17:26] gero**
Is he going berserk again?
**[17:27] ari**
No, it's something else!
**[17:39] kusa**
Th-This is...
**[17:41] wom**
This is the Ultra More-Better Version!
**[17:44] zun**
Not again!
**[17:46] yu**
To me, idols are people I feel
better just having around!
**[17:52] yu**
Just knowing they're there
makes me feel stronger.
**[17:55] yu**
Just like En-chan-senpai and Atsushi-senpai
**[17:58] yu**
and Io-senpai and Ryuu-senpai!
**[18:02] yu**
That's what my brother was to
you, right, Brothers-senpai?
**[18:06] yu**
And if you're an idol yourself,
**[18:08] yu**
I think you should want to make
the people around you happy!
**[18:12] yu**
As many people as possible!
**[18:13] en**
The spiral of love...
**[18:15] atsu**
Of loving and being loved...
**[18:16] io**
It continues onward...
**[18:18] ryu**
For eternity!
**[18:19] yu**
That is the "ai" of idols!
**[18:24] all**
Ultra True Love Attack!
**[18:53] gora**
Yumoto?
**[18:54] gora**
Is something the matter?
**[18:56] gora**
Are you sick to your stomach again?
**[18:58] yu**
No, I'm okay.
**[19:00] gora**
I see.
**[19:02] gora**
I was having a dream.
**[19:05] yu**
What was it?
**[19:06] yu**
Tell me, big bro.
**[19:08] gora**
It was a dream about many
people I met long ago,
**[19:11] gora**
when I did many things.
**[19:16] gora**
Oh?
**[19:17] gora**
You two...
**[19:19] gora**
Are you the children from Binan Land?
**[19:22] haru**
Gorar?
**[19:23] aki**
How could you tell?
**[19:26] gora**
How?
**[19:27] gora**
You were in my dream, too.
**[19:33] haru**
Why?
**[19:34] aki**
Why do you have to address us
when we're at our most pathetic?
**[19:39] gora**
Pathetic?
**[19:40] gora**
How?
**[19:41] gora**
You've grown so big and strong.
**[19:46] gora**
You kept your promise to Gorar, didn't you?
**[19:49] gora**
I'm happy.
**[19:54] gora**
What's all this?
**[19:56] gora**
What's wrong, you two?
**[20:01] gora**
*VEPPer, the twin stars
racing through the galaxy!*
**[20:08] gora**
*Let's illuminate the mysteries
of the universe...*
**[20:11] gora**
*On the name of the stars!*
**[20:15] haru**
Thanks for listening to us
all the way to the end!
**[20:17] aki**
We're so happy to know that
our songs can help you!
**[20:22] haru**
To be honest, VEPPer has been through a lot,
and we've had a lot of setbacks lately.
**[20:26] haru**
But now we understand what it is
that we really love to do!
**[20:30] aki**
We're grateful to the
people who taught us that.
**[20:33] aki**
And we love you, Beppu Apes!
**[20:43] en**
So?
**[20:43] kusa**
So what?
**[20:45] en**
Well, any stories?
**[20:47] kusa**
No.
**[20:48] en**
Oh, come on.
**[20:49] en**
You had fun, right?
**[20:52] kusa**
Did we?
**[20:53] ari**
It was pretty standard.
**[20:54] gero**

Jellied eels.
