    It's hard to relax without
    Gora-san's regular 'cha-chop'!
[06:44] wom
    Truly, we're missing the finishing touch!
[06:46] io
    I wonder when he'll be back.
[06:49] io
    If he's gotten mixed up
    with the Beppu Brothers...
[06:51] io
    I mean, VEPPer...
[06:53] ryu
    Yeah.
[06:54] ryu
    Maybe we should ask them directly?
[06:56] io
    That's tricky...
[07:00] en
    How'd it go?
[07:01] at
    No use.
[07:02] at
    Not a single sign of life.
[07:04] ryu
    I told you not to turn it
    on until it dried fully.
[07:08] at
    I thought it was! I used a hair dryer on it!
[07:12] io
    On the bright side, it didn't fall
    in after you'd done your business.
[07:17] at
    I didn't think I was so
    dependent on my smartphone,
[07:20] at
    but now I know how Yumoto feels.
[07:23] at
    You don't realize how important
    someone is until you lose them.
[07:29] en
    You're equating Gora-san with a smartphone?
[07:31] io
    Kinugawa-senpai's so traumatized,
[07:33] io
    he's lost all his usual social graces.
[07:35] ryu
    Yumoto forgot his cluelessness, too!
[07:37] yu
    What was that?
[07:42] dada
    Maximum Gorar is about to leave
    the Earth, never to return!
[07:48] dada
    Gorar is a space legend.
[07:50] dada
    For the sake of his fans and
    supporters who respect that legend,
[07:53] dada
    he's going to connect in
    friendship all over the cosmos
[07:56] dada
    as an eternal member of VEPPer!
[07:59] dada
    Heaven!
[08:00] en
    Yeah, I lost the thread there.
[08:01] en
    All the English threw me off.
[08:04] wom
    In other words, they're taking Hakone Gora!
[08:10] dada
    See you! Thank you! Bye!
[08:30] dada
    What are you doing?
[08:31] dada
    My office won't stand for this!
[08:34] ryu
    They're surprisingly flimsy.
[08:35] io
    Yeah.
[08:36] io
    They must get holes in them all the time.
[08:41] ryu
    Just one poke from any slightly
    pointy household utensil...
[08:44] ryu
    Chopsticks, for example...
[08:51] dada
    I-I-I'm sorry!
[08:54] at
    No need to apologize.
[08:56] en
    So? Is Gora-san with them?
[09:00] io
    And they're going back
    into space with Gora-san?
[09:05] ryu
    So what about the fight they
    were trying to pick with us?
[09:08] dada
    The original purpose of the fights
[09:09] dada
    was to make it clear who
    was more worthy of Gora-san!
[09:14] at
    Really?
[09:16] dada
    But they don't care anymore,
[09:19] dada

[09:30] haru
    Yeah, Gora really should
    be in the center, right?
[09:33] aki
    Yeah.
[09:34] aki
    Speaking of which, it'll
    usually be the three of us,
[09:38] aki
    but I was thinking of forming a new unit,
    just me and Gora, called "Go Lucky!"
[09:43] aki
    Gora + Aki = Go Lucky! Get it?
[09:45] haru
    What the heck?
[09:46] haru
    That's not fair! I want a unit, too!
[09:48] aki
    No!
[09:49] aki
    If we try to sell another unit
    with the same name scheme,
[09:52] aki
    it'll just dilute Gorar's value.
[09:54] 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!

    And what makes VEPPer so appropriate?

    VEPPer are idols!
[10:54] both

    No, no. They're different.

[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.

[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!

[19:17] ryu
    A thrilling twist...

    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!

[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!

    They surprised me.

    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.

    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

    porcupine with child support woes.
