**[00:21] yu**
By the way... About Mr. Tawarayama...
**[00:25] yu**
What do you think?
**[00:26] atsu**
About what?
**[00:27] yu**
He came back to life.
**[00:28] ryu**
Right, he did. This is
the second time, right?
**[00:32] naru**
Actually, I believe he revived
during our summer vacation, too...
**[00:35] yu**
Until our Love Attack—
**[00:37] atsu**
Don't say it!
**[00:39] atsu**
So, what were you saying
about Mr. Tawarayama?
**[00:43] yu**
That alien... What was it again?
**[00:45] ryu**
Wom-san's weird friend...
**[00:48] naru**
The mulberry-colored naked
mole rat-looking thing?
**[00:50] yu**
Yeah, that naked mall rat thing...
**[00:53] naru**
Naked mole rat.
**[00:54] yu**
Moley-san, for short!
**[00:56] yu**
Moley-san said he brought two "lives" with him,
and brought him back to life with that...
**[01:01] atsu**
Yeah, he just sprang back
to life, just like that.
**[01:05] yu**
The Mr. Tawarayama brought back
to life with the "life" he brought...
**[01:09] yu**
Can we really say he's the same
Mr. Tawarayama we knew before?
**[01:17] naru**
G-Good point...
**[01:19] atsu**
I n-never thought of that...
**[01:20] yu**
What are you saying? Mr. Tawarayama
is Mr. Tawarayama!
**[01:25] yu**
Even if he's different on the inside.
**[01:26] atsu**
You think he's different, though?!
**[01:28] naru**
Please, don't unnerve us like this.
**[01:29] ryu**
Yeah! How are we supposed to
interact with him from now on?
**[01:33] yu**
Well, we're graduating,
so *we* don't have to care...
**[03:49] yu**
Atsushi... You know...
**[03:51] yu**
There's something I've been
thinking about lately.
**[03:54] atsu**
What is it, En-chan?
**[03:56] atsu**
The Olympics?
**[03:57] atsu**
Toyosu?
**[03:58] atsu**
Trump?
**[03:59] yu**
No. Flower-viewing.
**[04:01] atsu**
Flower-viewing?
**[04:03] yu**
The cherry blossoms are pretty and all,
**[04:05] yu**
but seasonally speaking,
it's still cold out there.
**[04:08] yu**
Yet people still go at night, and they sit on
the ground outside and have picnics and stuff.
**[04:12] yu**
Pretty rigorous stuff, don't you think?
**[04:14] atsu**
That's true.
**[04:16] atsu**
I bet the salarymen catch colds when they
get drunk and strip down and stuff...
**[04:20] yu**
Also, aren't cherry blossoms iconic
of the first day of school?
**[04:24] atsu**
Yeah, makes you think of first graders
with their big leather backpacks...
**[04:27] yu**
But lately, the cherry blossoms have been
blooming closer to late March, right?
**[04:32] atsu**
Global warming, I guess...
**[04:34] yu**
By early April, all the trees
might even be blossom-free.
**[04:37] atsu**
They do fall awfully quickly.
**[04:40] yu**
You think cherry blossoms might stop
being a first-day-of-school icon
**[04:43] yu**
and become a graduation day icon instead?
**[04:45] atsu**
That sounds pretty nice.
**[04:46] atsu**
Graduating in a storm of cherry blossoms...
**[04:49] yu**
You think? I find the idea
a little lonely, myself.
**[04:55] wom**
I always love coming to the Kurotama Bath!
**[04:58] ari**
Hey!
**[05:00] yu**
Here's an unusual group.
**[05:02] wom**
I met them outside and invited them in!
**[05:06] ari**
That's right! "Come take a bath," he said.
**[05:12] atsu**
What's wrong, Kin-chan?
**[05:14] ari**
He's worried about the graduation ceremony.
**[05:16] yu**
Wondering how long the cherry
blossoms will stay in bloom?
**[05:19] ari**
Cherry blossoms? No, the speech.
**[05:21] kusa**
It's the student council
president's final duty.
**[05:23] atsu**
Oh, Kin-chan, you're giving the speech?
**[05:25] yu**
What's he worried about?
**[05:27] ari**
The text of it.
He can't figure out what to say.
**[05:30] yu**
Why not just string a bunch
of platitudes together?
**[05:33] ari**
When Kinshiro tries to think some up,
it ends after three lines.
**[05:37] kusa**
I struggle with poetic turns of phrase.
**[05:39] atsu**
You shouldn't pressure yourself so much.
**[05:41] yu**
Yeah. It's not like anyone
listens to those things.
**[05:44] kusa**
I dislike such lazy thinking.
**[05:47] atsu**
Yeah, you always have been earnest.
**[05:49] wom**
When you have troubles,
that's when you take a hot bath!
**[05:52] wom**
Such magnificent Earth culture!
**[05:55] ari**
Thinking about it,
**[05:56] ari**
I bet it's that earnestness that
made Zundar seek you out.
**[06:00] kusa**
Clarify.
**[06:02] ari**
Well, I could explain what I think
might have started it all...
**[06:06] ari**
It concerns you, though. Do you mind?
**[06:08] yu**
Huh? Me?
**[06:09] wom**
Say it! Say it!
**[06:11] wom**
All things are permitted,
**[06:13] wom**
as long as they are said with love!
**[06:15] yu**
Actually, I've got the
mental fortitude of tofu.
**[06:18] yu**
In fact, it might be closer to soy milk.
**[06:21] ari**
See, Yufuin-san... you're smart,
but you don't work hard,
**[06:25] ari**
and you tend to leave most
things to luck. Right?
**[06:28] yu**
That's a hell of a question to ask a person...
**[06:30] atsu**
I think he's right, though.
**[06:33] atsu**
Sometimes that's a good thing...
***SIGN*** Finals Test Order Ranking (3rd Years) Rank Name 1st Yufuin En 2nd Kusatsu Kinshiro 3rd Itsumo Nisan 4th Kinugawa Atsushi
**[06:35] ari**
...and sometimes, it's very bad.
**[06:45] ari**
Well, knowing our earnest,
hard-working president,
**[06:48] ari**
I'm sure that stoked his anxieties.
**[06:52] wom**
How can Zundar be so cute?!
**[06:55] wom**
So cute!
**[06:57] atsu**
Wait, is that how you met Zundar?
**[07:00] ari**
Certainly not.
**[07:02] ari**
He fell from the sky.
**[07:03] (Flashback) zun**
Zundar commands you!
**[07:05] (Flashback) zun**
Convert the student council
into the Earth Conquest Club,
**[07:08] (Flashback) zun**
and purge the world of sloth and negligence.
**[07:12] yu**
Um... You're kidding.
**[07:15] ari**
Our president just can't refuse a hard sell.
**[07:18] atsu**
I know.
**[07:19] kusa**
What is that supposed to mean, At-chan?!
**[07:20] atsu**
That you can't say no when
someone asks you for a favor.
**[07:24] kusa**
I can't, can I? Then what about
you guys in the Defense Club?
**[07:27] yu**
How we started, you mean?
How'd that go, again?
**[07:29] atsu**
I don't actually remember.
**[07:30] wom**
This is pathetic!
We met here, just like this!
**[07:42] wombat**
Where might this be?
**[07:46] atsu**
A public bath... Why do you ask?
**[07:48] wombat**
What is a pub-lic-bath?
**[07:49] atsu**
It's a place where you pay money
to sit in heated water,
**[07:54] atsu**
to maintain bodily hygiene and relax the mind.
**[07:57] wombat**
Relax the mind!
**[07:58] wombat**
The people of this planet have an even
more refined civilization than I thought!
**[08:05] wombat**
How I should like to protect this planet.
**[08:08] wombat**
R-Right...
**[08:10] wombat**
Would you mind helping me?
**[08:14] wombat**
Please!
**[08:17] wombat**
Um... I'd just like...
**[08:19] wombat**
to talk...
**[08:22] en**
H-Hey! It stinks! It hurts!
The fur's pricking me!
**[08:25] atsu**
What is this thing? A bear? A dog? A pig?
**[08:28] yumoto**
Sirs! Please, no wrestling in the bath!
**[08:32] yumoto**
A wombat!
**[08:37] yumoto**
Diprotodontia Macropodidae!
**[08:39] yumoto**
Cousin to the koala!
**[08:41] yumoto**
They get sick if they get lonely
and have flat noses!
**[08:44] yumoto**
There, there! Don't struggle!
**[08:46] wombat**
Help me!
**[08:52] en**
He came back to life?!
**[08:54] wombat**
After all this, I won't
ask any more of you boys!
**[08:57] wombat**
On the contrary, I'm going to
make you take responsibility!
**[09:01] atsu**
Responsibility?
**[09:02] ryuu**
For what?
**[09:03] yumoto**
He's saying we can cuddle
for the rest of our lives!
**[09:05] wombat**
It'll take too long to explain,
so I'll make it quick!
**[09:08] wombat**
Lovracelet!
**[09:14] yumoto**
What's this?
**[09:16] yumoto**
You're giving them to us?
"The Wombat Returns"?
**[09:18] wombat**
The Lovracelets are your love, given form!
**[09:22] yumoto**
Wombat's love given form?
**[09:24] en**
Wait, what the hell is "love given form"?
**[09:27] yumoto**
It buzzed!
**[09:29] ryu**
Are these defective?
**[09:31] io**
That's a problem. Should I contact the
manufacturer and earn us a quick buck?
**[09:34] atsu**
You're surprisingly unscrupulous.
**[09:36] wombat**
They are not defective!
**[09:39] wombat**
That's the Lovracelet's Love Alert!
**[09:42] wombat**
Let's go!
**[09:44] wombat**
Now, you must "Love Making"
into the Battle Lovers!
**[09:48] en**
Huh? Love Ma—
**[09:50] en**
You, who befoul our beloved Earth!
**[09:53] io**
What are you saying, Yufuin-senpai?
**[09:56] ryuu**
"Beloved Earth"?
**[09:58] ryuu**
No justice can come from loveless power!
**[10:01] io**
You, too?
**[10:03] io**
Love is all!
**[10:05] atsu**
Are you... being forced to say this?
**[10:08] atsu**
Live for love! Die for love!
**[10:10] yumoto**
I get it!
**[10:11] yumoto**
Making us pose and say embarrassing lines
is part of your mysterious power, right?
**[10:15] wom**
No, it is the power of love!
**[10:18] yumoto**
We are the heirs to the throne of love!
**[10:21] five**
Battle Lovers!
**[10:25] yumoto**
Love Making!
**[10:52] yumoto**
The Sparkling Prince!
**[10:53] yumoto**
Battle Lover Scarlet!
**[10:56] en**
Love Making.
**[11:06] en**
The Flashing Prince!
**[11:08] en**
Battle Lover Cerulean!
**[11:11] atsu**
Love Making!
**[11:21] atsu**
The Piercing Prince!
**[11:22] atsu**
Battle Lover Epinard!
**[11:25] io**
Love Making.
**[11:35] io**
The Roaring Prince!
**[11:37] io**
Battle Lover Sulfur!
**[11:40] ryuu**
Love Making!
**[11:50] ryuu**
The Thrilling Prince!
**[11:51] ryuu**
Battle Lover Vesta!
**[11:54] yumoto**
Feel the power...
**[11:56] five**
Of love!
**[12:00] yumoto**
Our powers unite to...
**[12:15] yumoto**
Love Attack!
**[12:31] kusa**
That took forever! It was lazy, too!
**[12:34] ari**
Not like you can cure the Defense
Club's laziness at this point.
**[12:37] kusa**
Whose side are you on, Arima?
**[12:39] ari**
Yours, of course, Kinshiro!
**[12:42] haru**
You fools!
**[12:44] haru**
It's just this behavior that lets
others take advantage of you!
**[12:48] aki**
I agree with Haru completely.
**[12:49] gero**
Goodness. This whole business
has made you both so touchy.
**[12:52] haru**
You're the one who's touchy.
**[12:55] gero**
I told you from the start,
I don't care either way.
**[12:59] aki**
Wait. The most unforgivable ones here are...
**[13:03] aki**
Those two in the Defense Club!
**[13:06] gero**
For once, I actually agree
with you, Beppu Brothers.
**[13:09] ryu**
What the heck?
**[13:09] naru**
What on earth?
**[13:10] atsu**
What's going on?
**[13:11] atsu**
Some sort of trouble?
**[13:13] naru**
No, I wouldn't say trouble, exactly...
**[13:16] ryu**
They dragged us into it.
**[13:17] both**
What do you mean, dragged you into it?!
**[13:19] wom**
H-Have our second-years
caused you some trouble?
**[13:22] yu**
Wom-san's become a fussy old lady.
**[13:24] haru**
We can't make a decision because
they won't take it seriously.
**[13:28] gero**
It would be nice to have
things cleared up soon.
**[13:30] haru**
Not that I'm personally invested in the result...
**[13:33] ryu**
I told you, whoever wants
to do it should do it!
**[13:37] naru**
It doesn't even matter who reads the address.
**[13:40] yu**
Address?
**[13:41] atsu**
The speech by an underclassman
representative to the graduating students.
**[13:44] yu**
Oh, *that* kind of address.
**[13:47] ryu**
You hear that, guys?
**[13:48] ryu**
It matters so little, he doesn't even
know what you're talking about.
**[13:51] gero**
Of course, I personally don't
care one way or the other.
**[13:54] gero**
But for public events like this,
rules and conventions should be respected.
**[14:00] aki**
Of course.
**[14:01] aki**
But isn't that all the more reason it shouldn't be
another student council member who reads it,
**[14:04] aki**
but the best representative
of the school as a whole?
**[14:08] haru**
Although, if you really *want* to read it,
that's another matter entirely...
**[14:12] gero**
If I was asked to, I'd be willing.
**[14:14] gero**
I *do* feel I'd be more appropriate than
**[14:18] gero**
some students who only just transferred here.
**[14:20] ryu**
This is getting on my nerves!
**[14:22] ryu**
Do you want to do it or not?!
Make up your mind!
**[14:25] gero**
Why don't you say that to these two?
**[14:27] gero**
If you want to do it, just say so.
**[14:29] gero**
I'm fully prepared to step down.
**[14:32] haru**
It's clear to me that *you're*
the one who wants to do it.
**[14:34] aki**
Self-conscious, are you? How sad.
**[14:37] naru**
If you ask me, it's all
pots calling kettles black.
**[14:40] all**
What did you say?!
**[14:42] aki**
I can't let that one slide.
**[14:43] haru**
Neither can I!
**[14:45] gero**
Setting the address aside for a moment,
**[14:47] gero**
is there another person in the world so
dedicated to their personal beauty as I?
**[14:53] gero**
Even just drinking tea,
**[14:55] ---**
or even when I sigh, I'm beautiful.
**[14:58] gero**
See? Like this.

You see now? I'm the true "good-looking boy."
**[16:32] gero**
Rather, the "precious human being."
**[16:34] both**
Wow. Amazing.
**[16:36] gero**
Spare me your insincere praise.
**[16:38] gero**
You really are insensitive, aren't you?
**[16:40] ryu**
No, I *genuinely* find this incredible.
**[16:43] nari**
Same, same.
**[16:45] aki**
I'm sure I don't need to say it,
but we carry the title of eternal pretty boys,
**[16:50] aki**
and our Beppu Apes comprise
98% of the whole school.
**[16:53] aki**
And we're close to the
graduation ceremony guest,
**[16:56] aki**
representative of the Binan Ginza
Young Men's Association, Hakone Gora!

appropriate representatives

Our school's second-years
certainly are aggressive.

Now, what were we talking about again?
**[28:37] naru**
We were talking about our character
gimmicks being far inferior to theirs.
**[28:41] ryu**
We're basically extras.
**[28:43] naru**
So anyway, you should
work this out without us.
**[28:46] naru**
Maybe you could ask the senpais to decide.
**[28:48] gero**
No!
**[28:48] gero**
There are four third-years, an even number!

What if it ends up as a tie?
**[28:51] ryu**
But we're an even number, too!

Yumoto! There's only one of him.
He'll be our odd number.
**[28:55] ryu**
That's right!

The underclassman representative needs
the support of the first-years, too.

Huh?

Yumoto?

If something is troubling you,
you can tell us about it.

There's nothing.

Tell us!

I think I know what this is.
**[30:05] kinu**
What?
**[30:06] ryu**
Relationship burn-out.
**[30:07] naru**
The result of an overextended spring.

Enthusiasm's fall?

It is spring, though.

Fall?

but far distant past...

Yumoto just raised one hell
of a set of death flags.

Maybe he's getting sentimental
because it's spring.

Let's give him some time to himself.

From what I've been told,
**[37:05] zun**
a "graduation ceremony" is a
ritual wherein the conclusion
**[37:09] zun**
of one's course of study is acknowledged,
and maturation and achievements are praised.

Talk about conceited!

what's important to you,

You say everyday hard work and obeying the
rules every day are the most important things!

having a special ceremony?

Isn't the real meaning to be found

**[43:17] bot**
graduation ceremonies are
absolutely meaningless!
**[43:26] all**
Yumoto!
**[43:28] zun**
We did it!
**[43:28] dada**
We did it! We did it!
**[43:32] yu**
Scarlet Love Lumiere!
**[43:37] atsu**
Why?
**[43:37] wom**
Yumoto-san's power comes from
his declarations of love!
**[43:42] wom**
Now he's lost that,
**[43:44] wom**
he's lost his power as
Battle Lover Scarlet, too!
**[43:47] all**
Wh-What did you say?!
**[43:49] bot**
What's wrong, Battle Lover Scarlet?
**[43:55] all**
Yumoto!
**[43:56] wom**
Why, after loving down so
many monsters in the past,
**[44:00] wom**
is he failing now?
**[44:02] gora**
I know how Yumoto feels.
**[44:05] wom**
What did you say?
**[44:06] gora**
Yumoto empathizes with the monster.
***SIGN*** Guest
**[44:09] gora**
That's why he can't bring
himself to attack it.
**[44:12] wom**
Empathizes?
**[44:13] wom**
How could he feel the same
way the monster does?
**[44:16] gora**
Because...
**[44:18] gora**
He doesn't want the graduation
ceremony to happen, either!
**[44:23] yu**
I... I don't want the graduation
ceremony to happen.
**[44:35] naru**
Yumoto loved out?
**[44:37] ryu**
What are you doing? Get a grip!
**[44:39] yu**
Not being able to be happy for
En-chan-senpai and Atsushi-senpai's graduation...
**[44:43] yu**
Taking the side of a monster...
**[44:46] yu**
I'm a failure as a Battle Lover.
**[44:49] yu**
To be honest, I don't care
about the graduation ceremony.
**[44:54] yu**
To be even more honest,
I wish they'd call it off.
**[45:04] all**
Love Out.
**[45:10] yu**
Senpais?
**[45:11] yu**
Brothers-san?
**[45:14] en**
You're right. I was feeling the same way.
**[45:16] atsu**
Yeah.
**[45:19] haru**
He got us.
**[45:20] aki**
Hit the nail on the head.
**[45:23] yu**
No! It's not for reasons like you guys,
**[45:26] yu**
because it's annoying or
I don't want to bother...
**[45:29] yu**
My reason... My reason is much more selfish!
**[45:32] yu**
Because I want to stay in the
Defense Club with you guys forever!
**[45:37] yu**
That's why!
**[45:38] yu**
I'm sorry!
**[45:40] bot**
The team's broken up, and now
you've lost your will to fight?
**[45:43] bot**
Now, die!
**[45:47] all**
Yumoto!
**[45:49] yu**
Senpais!
**[45:50] gora**
Yumoto! The others!
**[45:52] wom**
Go no further!
**[45:54] gora**
Why?
**[45:55] wom**
This matter must be resolved
by the Battle Lovers!
**[45:59] wom**
What is real love?
**[46:00] wom**
If they cannot discover that for themselves,
**[46:03] wom**
then no matter how you aid them,
they will never defeat that monster!
**[46:08] wom**
And, Maximum Gora...
**[46:12] wom**
Your love is in letting things go.
**[46:15] gora**
I see.
**[46:17] gora**
Yumoto...
**[46:18] dada**
They appear to be utterly helpless.
**[46:20] both**
Dadacha!
**[46:21] both**
Zundar!
**[46:23] dada**
Now we can go home with heads held high!
**[46:25] zun**
VEPPer, do you see which
side is stronger now?
**[46:28] dada**
Now, come rejoin TV Universe
and we'll start over again!
**[46:34] haru**
No way! We refuse!
**[46:35] aki**
We'll never do as you say ever again!
**[46:38] dada**
What?!
**[46:40] haru**
Dadacha, we're grateful to you.
**[46:42] haru**
But we need to go even further than before.
**[46:46] aki**
We can't move forward if
we're trapped in the past.
**[46:49] haru**
That's why we...
**[46:50] aki**
...are saying goodbye to you!
**[47:00] bot**
Finished already, are you?
**[47:04] yu**
The fun times in the club room.
**[47:08] yu**
The kindness of my senpais!
**[47:12] yu**
The struggles of the Battle Lovers!
**[47:16] atsu**
Yumoto?
**[47:18] yu**
The love we inspired in each other!
**[47:21] all**
The love we inspired in each other!
**[47:28] yu**
The spirits that would never be broken!
**[47:31] all**
The spirits that would never be broken!
**[47:38] yu**
Defense Club forever!
**[47:41] all**
Forever!
**[47:43] yu**
Congratulation on your graduation, senpais.
**[47:46] yu**
Thanks for everything.
**[47:47] yu**
It's sad to say goodbye,
**[47:50] yu**
but in exchange,
**[47:51] yu**
we'll be gaining a new future
that spreads out wide before us.
**[47:57] yu**
Love Congratulation!
**[48:05] bot**
Such optimistic words!
**[48:08] bot**
I was so focused on the graduation ceremony,
**[48:10] bot**
I forgot what lay beyond!
**[48:12] bot**
So this is... love!
**[48:22] wom**
They purged the monster without even
transforming into the Battle Lovers?
**[48:26] wom**
What a miracle!
**[48:28] wom**
This is the true power of love!
**[48:30] yu**
Love Graduation!
**[48:33] atsu**
Yumoto! Ryu! Io!
**[48:35] en**
Thanks for everything.
**[48:37] atsu**
We'll work hard, so you
keep up the hard work, too.
**[48:40] all**
Right!
**[48:45] kusa**
Today, we experience the
ritual of graduation.
**[48:49] kusa**
To be perfectly honest,
**[48:51] kusa**
we will not see tremendous changes in
ourselves when this ceremony concludes.
**[48:56] ---**
But there is one thing I know for certain:
**[49:00] ---**
I will remember this day
for the rest of my life.
**[49:05] ---**
And whenever I'm feeling frustrated or sad,
**[49:10] ---**
I'll remember my friends' faces
**[49:12] ---**
and feel empowered once again.

Well, that's over.
I hate sitting still for so long.
**[49:30] ari**
Defense Club, have you seen Zundar around?
**[49:33] aki**
Has anyone seen Dadacha?
**[49:35] yumo**
Actually, Wom-san's not here, either...

H-Here! Your favorite, spinach curry!

You'll come again, won't you?
