SIGN Kurotama Bath
[00:14] atsushi
Ah, it's great being first in the bath.
[00:16] en
Atsushi, you know, there's something
I've been thinking about lately.
[00:21] atsushi
What is it, En-chan?
The tax increase? The Olympics?
[00:24] en
No, chikuwabu.
[00:26] atsushi
Chikuwabu?
[00:27] en
He's a real mystery, you know?
[00:30] atsushi
It's just chikuwabu...
[00:33] en
Not quite chikuwa, not quite fu.
[00:35] en
He doesn't exist outside of oden.
[00:37] en
Why is he even alive?
[00:39] atsu
Well, it's not alive...
[00:40] en
He's excluded from both the paste products
group and the wheat gluten group.
[00:45] en
When I think about how he must feel,
it's kind of depressing.
[00:48] atsu
But there are people who like chikuwabu.
[00:51] en
Oh? You like chikuwabu?
[00:53] en
Gonna start a club? A chikuwabu-bu?
[00:55] atsu
What? Chikuwabu-bu is too hard to say.
[00:58] en
It's the wabu-bu who plot
to dominate via chikuwabu.
[01:01] atsu
You're abbreviating it...
[01:03] en
Daikon radish and tofu fritters
contribute to the diversity that is oden
[01:08] en
by creating a savory flavor.
[01:11] en
Yet chikuwabu only absorbs that savoriness,
[01:14] en
offering nothing of its own.
[01:15] atsu
Couldn't you say the same of konjac?
[01:17] en
No, konjac is at least flexible.
[01:21] en
It's broad-minded enough to absorb that
savoriness into its deepest parts.
[01:25] en
Yet, with chikuwabu, you can
boil it for hours and hours,
[01:28] en
and most of it will remain nothing
but wheat flour mixed with water.
[01:33] en
It gives off the superficial appearance
of melting and integrating itself while,
[01:38] en
deep down, it rejects others and
denies its wheat-based origins.
[01:41] atsu
Uh, En-chan, do you hate chikuwabu?
[01:44] en
I don't know if I hate it.
[01:45] en
I just feel like I'm looking at an unknown lifeform.
[01:48] atsu
But it's not a lifeform...
[01:55] wombat
Where might this be?
[01:59] atsu
A public bath... Why do you ask?
[02:01] wombat
What is a pub-lic-bath?
[02:03] atsu
It's a place where you pay money
to sit in heated water,
[02:06] atsu
to maintain bodily hygiene and relax the mind.
[02:10] wombat
Relax the mind!
[02:12] wombat
The people of this planet have an even
more refined civilization than I thought!
[02:19] wombat
How I should like to protect this planet...
[02:22] ---
R-Right...
[02:23] wombat
Would you mind helping me?
[02:27] wombat
Please!
[02:30] wombat
Um... I'd just like...
[02:32] wombat
to talk...
[02:36] en
H-Hey! It stinks! It hurts!
The fur's pricking me!
[02:39] atsu
What is this thing? A bear? A dog? A pig?
[02:41] yumoto
Sirs! Please, no wrestling in the bath!
[02:46] yumoto
A wombat!
[02:51] yumoto
Diprotodontia Macropodidae!
[02:52] yumoto
Cousin to the koala!
[02:54] yumoto
They get sick if they get lonely
and have flat noses!
[02:57] ---
There, there! Don't struggle!
[03:00] wombat
Help me!
[03:05] en
That kid is something else.
[03:07] en
Most people would run at the
sight of a creature like that.
[03:09] en
And a pink one, no less.
[03:11] atsu
He's a first year at our school.
Hakone Yumoto, I think.
[03:21] atsu
Heading home now?
[03:24] en
The student council must have it rough.
[03:27] yuuma
And you must have it easy.
[03:30] en
In oden terms, they're daikon radish,
egg, and mochi-stuffed tofu.
[03:35] atsu
Is that a compliment?
[03:36] en
A serious compliment.
That's the golden trio, you know?
[03:39] atsu
No konjac, huh?
[03:42] yumoto
Wait for me!
[03:45] atsu
So what is he? In oden terms.
[03:48] en
The pot, maybe?
[03:49] atsu
That's not food...
[03:51] wombat
Help!
[03:53] yumoto
Wait, I said!

SIGN Chiku Kazutake
[04:13] chiku
I'm a student at Binan High School.
[04:16] chiku
I have no strong subjects.
No weak subjects, either.
[04:19] chiku
I'm a member of the Biology Club,
but I never actually attend.
[04:23] chiku
My theory is that humans can be
divided into three categories... I think.
[04:28] man
The beautiful Nozomi invited us to a mixer.
[04:31] man
Sorry, my schedule's full already.
[04:33] chiku
The beautiful, the ugly...
and those who are neither.
[04:38] man
I'm going to be participating
in the Math Olympics.
[04:41] man
I'm in the New Year's poetry reading!
[04:43] chiku
The smart, the stupid...
and those who are neither.
[04:48] man
Ten more laps!
[04:49] man
Okay! C'mon!
[04:51] chiku
The athletic, the frail...
and those who are neither.
[04:57] man
What?
[04:58] man
I bumped into something.
[05:01] chiku
I'm... the third kind.
SIGN Class 3-C
[05:19] atsu
Stand!
[05:23] student
Is that a pet?
[05:23] student
A stuffed animal?
[05:24] student
Isn't it huge?
[05:25] student
It's giant!
[05:25] student
Why'd he bring an animal here?
[05:27] student
Hey, you think Tawarayama's
finally... you know?
[05:29] student
That, huh?
[05:31] student
Finally losing his marbles?
[05:34] atsu
Bow.
[05:36] atsu
Take your seats.
[05:38] wombat
You boys are...
[05:41] student
Did that voice come from the animal?
[05:43] student
That wasn't Tawarayama's voice.
[05:45] tamura
No. It is nothing.
[05:47] tamura
We shall begin class now.
[05:51] student
"Shall"?
[05:52] student
"Shall"?
[05:54] atsu
En-chan...
[05:55] en
I've got a bad feeling about this.
[06:00] tamura
Ah, begging your pardon, you two.
[06:03] tamura
No, please, wait for me!
[06:06] wombat
Won't you please hear me out?
[06:09] atsu
Yeah, he's talking.
[06:10] wombat
Oh, forgive me.
[06:11] wombat
Circumstances demand that
I draw attention away from myself,
[06:15] wombat
so I would appreciate it if you would act
as if you're speaking to this individual.
[06:19] atsu
Little late for that!
[06:20] wombat
But to meet you two again
like this must be destiny!
[06:24] en
No, destiny has nothing to do with it.
[06:25] wombat
Please come with me!
[06:26] en
Pass.
[06:27] wombat
Do you mean "pass" as in "approved"?
[06:29] atsu
Is that some old con man trick?
[06:31] en
On Earth, it means "I refuse."
[06:33] wombat
Wonderful!
[06:35] wombat
Please, teach me everything there is
to know about Earth culture and customs!
[06:39] atsu
Too much responsibility!
[06:40] en
Why don't you ask Mr. Tawarayama?
[06:42] wombat
Oh, no, you see, this individual has some
difficulties with mobility and endurance...
[06:46] en
That seemed vaguely insulting.
[06:47] atsu
Wasn't he turning 77 this year?
[06:49] en
No, that's not what I'm talking about.
[06:50] wombat
Setting that aside, I want us to protect this
lovable Earth with the power of love together!
[06:56] wombat
Why, you ask? I do it all for love!
[06:59] en
No, we didn't ask.
[07:00] atsu
Sorry, but we have other things to do.
[07:01] en
That's right! I need to meditate
on the matter of chikuwabu!
[07:05] wombat
Chikuwabu? What's that?
[07:07] en
It's a thing that exists, yet does not exist!
Like a symbol of uncertainty!
[07:11] en
I'm trying to figure out the purpose
of chikuwabu's existence!
[07:17] chiku
Chikuwabu's... purpose?
[07:22] yumoto
So this is where you were!
[07:24] yumoto
What, are you trying to be
Mr. Tawarayama's pet?
[07:27] yumoto
Using him as your hands?
Going undercover? Want a rice ball?
[07:30] wombat
Pardon me, but would you mind
saving me from that threat?
[07:34] en
Why?
[07:35] wombat
I realize that he presents no hatred
or malice, but instincts dictate...
[07:39] yumoto
I won't let you run again!
[07:41] wombat
I'll die if he gets near me!
[07:43] yumoto
Why? Why? I read on the net
that wombats love rice balls!
[07:47] yumoto
I wanna cuddle you!
[07:48] wombat
Pass!
[07:50] yumoto
That means "approved," right?
[07:53] atsu
Are you okay?
[07:55] chiku
Yes...
[07:57] atsu
I don't know whether to call it
a question or an opinion, but...
[08:00] atsu
Those two really aren't on the
same wavelength, are they?
[08:03] en
Not a bit.

[08:07] ryuu
Yo.
[08:08] io
Good day, Senpai.
[08:10] atsu
Io. How are you doing today?
[08:12] io
Feeling like I just dropped a
lump of butter into boiling oil.
[08:15] atsu
And you, Ryuu?
[08:16] ryuu
Just perfect, by certain standards.
[08:18] io
I melted off twenty million in twenty minutes.
[08:21] ryuu
I ended up triple-booked.
I'm really in trouble.
[08:24] en
You guys amaze me.

Money is...

Women are...

Oh, speaking of which,
[08:31] io
I found this on the door.
SIGN Urgent Please register your club officially. -Student Council
[08:34] en
A student council request for club registration?
[08:37] atsu
In other words, if we want to use the room,
we need to officially register as a club.
[08:42] en
What a pain.
[08:43] ryuu
That's why I keep telling you
[08:45] ryuu
we should be the Innocent Co-Ed Mingle Club!
[08:47] atsu
That violates public decency!
[08:49] io
Then what about the
Economics in Practice Club?
[08:52] atsu
It's lacking in high school student character!
[08:54] atsu
...is what the student council
president would say, I expect.
[08:57] en
Good point.
[08:58] en
Why not just make it the Earth Defense Club?
[09:01] atsu
Oh, that thing hanging on the door...
SIGN Earth Defense Club (lol)
[09:03] io
The mystery sign that's been hanging
there since who knows when, right?
[09:07] en
Why not? This is a pain.
[09:08] atsu
We can't do that.
[09:10] atsu
We've been buying time by
saying we'll submit it soon,
[09:13] atsu
but this might be the limit.
[09:14] io
Clubs need at least five members.
[09:16] ryuu
We need an advisor, too.
[09:21] atsu
Mr. Tawarayama?!
[09:23] ryuu
Is he... dead?

[09:53] chiku
The purpose of chikuwabu...
[09:56] chiku
It has no purpose.
[09:57] chiku
Chikuwabu could disappear
and no one would care.
[10:00] white
That's right. And you could disappear, too...
[10:13] yumoto
This is bliss.
[10:14] yumoto
Cuddling really is great!

Are you Hakone Yumoto?

Don't say it.
[10:36] en
He came back to life?!
[10:38] wombat
After all this, I won't
ask any more of you boys!
[10:40] wombat
On the contrary, I'm going to
make you take responsibility!
[10:44] atsu
Responsibility?
[10:45] ryuu
For what?
[10:46] yumoto
He's saying we can cuddle
for the rest of our lives!

It'll take too long to explain,
so I'll make it quick!
[10:52] wombat
Lovracelet!
[10:58] yumoto
What's this?
[10:59] yumoto
You're giving them to us?
"The Wombat Returns"?
[11:02] wombat
The Lovracelets are your love, given form!
[11:05] yumoto
Wombat's love given form?
[11:08] en
Wait, what the hell is "love given form"?
[11:11] yumoto
It buzzed!
[11:12] ryu
Are these defective?
[11:14] io
That's a problem. Should I contact the
manufacturer and earn us a quick buck?
[11:17] atsu
You're surprisingly unscrupulous.
[11:20] wombat
They are not defective!
[11:23] wombat
That's the Lovracelet's Love Alert!
[11:25] wombat
Let's go!
[11:28] wombat
It kindly lets you know immediately
[11:30] wombat
when the loveless are thinking loveless
thoughts and taking loveless actions!
[11:35] atsu
"Kindly" lets us know?
[11:37] yumoto
You're pretty smart for
someone so fuzzy, Wombat.
[11:39] wombat
Incidentally, I am not one of your
Earth mammals known as the wombat.
[11:44] yumoto
What?!
[11:46] ryuu
No, I think it's weirder that
you're surprised by that.
[11:48] yumoto
But he can speak our language!
[11:50] io
No, I think that just makes it weirder.
[11:52] atsu
And he's pink, at that.
[11:54] wombat
Don't worry about conversing.
[11:56] wombat
I have a high-performance
automatic translator.
[11:59] io
That's an amazing thing to just blurt out.
[12:01] wombat
My name is $%@ and I come from &!@$.

What? Say that again?
[12:06] wombat
I am ^%@# and I come from $!@#.

You just casually named it.
[12:32] en
Aren't you going to cuddle it?
[12:34] yumoto
Nah, that's a little out of my range.
[12:36] atsu
You have a range?
[12:38] yumoto
What are you saying? Of course I do.
[12:41] yumoto
Doesn't it look a little sticky?
[12:43] atsu
Its surface does seem to be melting...
[12:45] en
It's a little gross for me, too.
[12:47] ryuu
Is it?

Uh, I think the monster part is a bigger
problem than the chikuwabu part...

[15:41] yumoto
I don't think it's quite right
for me to call myself a prince.
[15:44] atsu
You seem overly self-conscious.
[15:46] wombat
No matter.
[15:47] wombat
You are the heirs to the throne of love,

[15:53] en
It's not about having the right...
[15:55] atsu
First of all, we don't
want to be heirs to that.

What was that?!

I don't even know what
the "throne of love" is.

I hope it's romantic love.

It's not.

Go, and love even your enemies!

Huh? Is this love or discipline?

Well, we may as well treat a farce as a farce...

[18:25] monster
Five against one is cheating!
[18:27] atsu
Yeah, right. You were the one
saying all humans should die.
[18:31] atsu
You can't let five of them scare you.
[18:33] yumoto
Okay, let's go! Something-or-Other—
[18:35] wombat
Pardon me.
[18:36] wombat
Could you all please stop calling
out random attack names?
[18:42] yumoto
In that case, our powers unite to...
[18:56] yumoto
Love Attack!
[19:12] atsu
Hey, Yumoto, that was overkill.
[19:15] monster
I don't need your pity.
[19:17] monster
Charity and comfort are useless to me.
[19:22] en
That's convenient for an enemy to say.
[19:24] atsu
Stop this! If you say any more,
you'll raise a defeat flag!
[19:28] monster
We chikuwabu have a chikuwabu sort of pride!
[19:32] monster
Even if you won't acknowledge its existence,
[19:34] monster
I will continue to live on, as chikuwabu!
[19:37] atsu
It's not that we don't acknowledge it...
[19:40] ryuu
If I have to choose one way or
the other, I like chikuwabu.
[19:43] en
Yeah.
[19:44] en
Some people have strange tastes.
Good things will come your way someday.
[19:47] io
That's not very convincing support.
[19:50] monster
Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
[19:52] monster
I don't need your support!
[19:54] monster
Inconspicuousness is still a flavor!
[19:56] monster
It beats ending up with a dubious status like
burdock tempura or squid tentacle tempura!
[20:00] monster
Lay off, jerk!
[20:05] en
Physical force?
[20:06] atsu
What was the point of that
finishing move earlier?
[20:08] yumoto
Listen, you need to wake up!
[20:11] yumoto
Oden isn't complete with only one ingredient.
[20:14] yumoto
The popular trio of daikon radish,
egg, and mochi-stuffed tofu,
[20:18] yumoto
the low-profile burdock tempura,
[20:19] yumoto
the amiable thick-fried tofu,
the non-conforming cabbage rolls...
[20:23] yumoto
And chikuwabu!
[20:24] yumoto
When they all come together,
that's what you call oden!
[20:27] yumoto
The world, the Earth... It's all oden, too!
[20:30] yumoto
Oden is the Earth! You get it?
[20:34] ---
Uh-huh.
[20:36] io
He kind of forced it all to fit together, huh?
[20:38] ryuu
I can't tell if that's too big or too small.
[20:42] yumoto
Love Shower!
[20:52] monster
What is this mysterious sensation?
[20:55] monster
Comfort... Healing...
[20:57] monster
I feel the universe soaking
into me like a golden broth...
[21:00] monster
I see... So this is love...
[21:07] yumoto
Love is over!
[21:09] four
No, it's not!
[21:11] en
Huh? What was that guy's name?
[21:13] en
From the class next to ours...
[21:15] atsu
I remember. He's kinda low-profile, but...
[21:18] en
He looks clean and refreshed,
like he just had a bath.
[21:20] ---
Yeah.
[21:21] io
While we're the ones who are a total mess.
[21:25] ryuu
I reek of broth!
[21:26] yumoto
When that happens,
just hit up the Kurotama Bath!
[21:29] yumoto
I have coupons!
[21:31] yumoto
Oh, yeah!
[21:32] yumoto
One for you, too!
[21:34] en
Yeah, let's do that.
A hot bath after a bloodbath.
[21:37] atsu
Ugh, that pissed me off.
[21:39] io
Me, too.
[21:39] ryuu
Totally.
[21:40] wombat
I'll join you!
[21:42] yumoto
Come on over!
[21:43] atsu
Say, why is Mr. Tawarayama
carrying you everywhere?
[21:46] wombat
If I get too far away from him...
[21:50] white
Just who are they?
[21:53] light
Has someone appeared to try to defy us?
[21:57] white
No matter. This is well within our expectations.
[22:01] white
Next time, the real battle will begin.
[22:05] hedgehog
Prepare yourselves, Earth Conquest Club.
[22:08] white
Yes, sir.
[23:40] yumoto
Before we even realized what was happening,
[23:42] yumoto
we ended up protecting the Earth!
[23:45] yumoto
But I don't mind joining the Battle Lovers
if it means I get to cuddle Wombat!
[23:50] yumoto
Next time: Love Means Never Feeling Regret.
SIGN Next Time
SIGN Love Means Never Feeling Regret
[23:53] yumoto
Love Making!
