[00:04] Taro
    I figure for next month's featured article,
    we can just do "Kappa Autopsies."
[00:10] Goro
    We just did a story about kappas.
[00:13] Taro
    I guess UFOs or prophecies, then.
[00:15] Goro
    Those were stories from the end of last year.
[00:18] Taro
    Why don't we put them together
    for the great prophesied UFO warrior?
[00:21] Goro
    Why rehash old stories
[00:24] Goro
    when we could investigate
    and put together something new?
[00:27] Taro
    Yeah? Like what?
[00:32] Goro
    What about an expose on the truth behind
    the mysterious White Pegasus Company?
[00:37] Taro
    White Pegasus?
[00:39] Goro
    That duo that's been lurking
    around us so much lately...
[00:42] Goro
    I believe they have some kind of
     connection to the company.
[00:45] Goro
    We could learn who they are
[00:47] Goro
    and come up with something
    for the magazine at the same time!
[00:49] Catherine
    It's not very Monthly Moso
    Science, though, is it?
[00:54] Rock
    Oh, welcome.
[00:57] Goro
    So that's a no, chief?
[01:00] Catherine
    Leave that sort of thing
    for the business magazines.
SIGN    Now's your chance!
    It's a little weird-looking,
    but it can make you happy?
    Get your own stuffed kitty
[01:03] Catherine
    We need a feature for next month's issue
    that will satisfy our new advertiser.
[01:08] Goro
    Oh, it's the stuffed kitty
    that brings happiness!
[01:10] Jiro
    We're getting that ad, too?
[01:13] Taro
    It's supposed to raise your
    chances of getting married?!
[01:16] Jiro
    Maybe you should give it a try.
[01:17] Taro
    Maybe...
SIGN    Lucky Color: Red
    What you're
    pursuing will
    evade you.
    If you go to
    bed and rise
    early, then
    you'll never
    be sick.
[01:28] Catherine
    "What you're pursuing will evade you.
[01:30] Catherine
    If you go to bed and rise early,
    then you'll never be sick."
[01:33] Catherine
    Well, try and boost our sales enough
    that our sponsor will be satisfied.
[01:42] Taro
    And how are we supposed to do
    that without some kinda scoop?
[01:47] Jiro
    What if we did a story about
    the mysterious beastman?!
[01:51] Taro
    What beastman? Where?
[01:53] Jiro
    Right here.
[01:54] Goro
    Oh, that is an idea!
[01:56] Taro
    No, it isn't! How am I a beastman?!
[01:59] Goro
    Because you transform into a weretiger.
[02:01] Taro
    Except I don't remember that happening!
[02:04] Taro
    And to make it worse, I wake up
    with a bunch of muscle strain,
[02:08] Taro
    and I have no idea why.
[02:09] Taro
    I say no!
[02:10] Jiro
    Then what do we do for our feature?
[02:13] Taro
    "Great Prophecies of the Kappa" will be fine.
[02:16] Jiro
    Maybe if that'd actually boost our sales.
[02:19] Goro
    We really should investigate a proper story!
[02:23] Taro
    But White Pegasus is a no-go.
[02:26] Goro
    Then we'll go with Plan B: Loch Nuss!
[02:28] Jiro/Taro
    Loch Nuss?
[02:29] Goro
    We're going to search for Nussie,
    the Loch Nuss Monster!

[04:09] Goro
    The groundskeeper of the
    Loch Nuss Campgrounds
[04:12] Goro
    claims that Nussie really does exist!
[04:14] Taro
    No way.
[04:16] Goro
    I looked into the data, and it seems
    that the loch is remarkably deep,
[04:21] Goro
    with enough space for a dinosaur
    from ancient times to hide.
[04:24] Jiro
    You read magazines like this, Goro?
[04:26] Goro
    I was curious about the article
    on space pyramid tents
[04:29] Goro
    that are said to gather cosmic power.
[04:32] Taro
    Is this the part where the
    groundskeeper talks about it?
[04:35] Taro
    "Many people have come hoping
    for a glimpse of Nussie,
[04:38] Taro
    turning Loch Nuss into a hot
    meeting spot for young couples!"
[04:42] Taro
    For real?!
[04:44] Goro
    There is something exciting
    about camping trips, after all!
[04:49] Taro
    We're going!
[04:54] Perch
    Hey!
[04:58] Jiro
    Taro, get your license already.
[05:00] Taro
    Why bother? I'm gonna have
    a private driver eventually.
[05:04] Goro
    Let's be on our way.
[05:10] Noin
    Do you think they're going after MOParts?
[05:12] Perch
    Hopefully.
[05:14] Noin
    How do you think they know
    where to find them?
[05:17] Noin
    Some power of the Motarian's?
[05:19] Perch
    Whatever it is, if they find MOParts,
    we'll be there to take them.
[05:30] Goro
    Let's buy our supplies up ahead.

    I guess this is an unidentified
    station for a reason...
SIGN    Hot

[05:42] Jiro
    Hey, look at this!
[05:45] Jiro
    I wonder how you eat it.
[05:47] Goro
    Should we have a barbecue?
[05:49] Taro
    Are you serious?
[05:51] Goro
    That's standard when it comes
    to camping, isn't it?
[05:54] Taro
    You barbecue with a beer in one hand
     while you're watching sports!
[05:57] Taro
    It's not how you show off your cooking skill!
[06:00] Taro
    If we're camping, we've gotta make curry!
[06:02] Goro
    Does curry... provide that much
    of a chance to show off cooking skill?
[06:06] Taro
    You have no idea!
[06:08] Goro
    I suppose so.
[06:19] Taro
    Those are some weird carrots they have here.
[06:22] Jiro
    Curry's great and all, but
    don't forget the marshmallows!
[06:27] Noin
    This should do it, right?
[06:29] Perch
    Probably.

[06:41] Taro
    There's nothing around these parts, huh?
[06:43] Goro
    The whole appeal of camping is to
    get away from the bustle of the city!
[06:48] Taro
    Even accounting for that...
    there's, like, nobody.
[06:56] Taro
    Th-This is a little too rugged!
[06:58] Goro
    And it bodes well!
SIGN    Loch Nuss Campgrounds
[07:04] Scott
    Welcome to the Loch Nuss Campgrounds!
[07:09] Taro
    My butt hurts...
[07:10] Jiro
    I'm stiff all over.
[07:14] Taro
    Kinda noticing a lack of campers...
[07:18] Scott
    Well, this is the norm.
[07:22] Scott
    But you'll have your pick
    of any site you want!
[07:24] Scott
    Which is nice, right?
[07:26] Taro
    Then... when you talked about
    a bunch of people coming for Nussie
[07:30] Taro
    and Loch Nuss turning into
    a meeting spot for young couples...
[07:33] Taro
    What's with the article?!
[07:35] Scott
    Oh, that! That was wishful
    thinking on my part.
[07:41] Taro
    So it's fake news?!
[07:42] Scott
    It's not fake. It's hopeful!
[07:44] Goro
    Excuse me...
[07:46] Goro
    Then is Nussie fake—er,
    hopeful thinking, too?
[07:50] Scott
    No. There was a witness
    who said they saw her.
[07:54] Goro
    What a relief!
[07:56] Goro
    We're from a magazine called Monthly Moso
    Science, and we're here to cover Nussie.
[08:01] Goro
    We'd love to hear all about her.
[08:03] Scott
    Sure, as soon as I wrap up my work.
[08:06] Goro
    We'll set up our tent and be waiting!
[08:12] Goro
    Oh, it's so over-scientific!
[08:17] Goro
    The space pyramid tent
    that gathers cosmic power!
[08:21] Jiro
    You actually bought it...?
[08:24] Goro
    Down this goes.
[08:26] Goro
    I bought some additional
    camping implements, too.
[08:29] Goro
    We should have everything we need.
[08:31] Taro
    Man, what a drag...
[08:34] Taro
    All I could find was a dude
    by himself and two families.
[08:37] Taro
    Which means there's no chances
    for me to meet anybody.
[08:40] Goro
    Taro, I'll leave the curry to you!
[08:43] Taro
    You do it.
[08:46] Goro
    What's wrong?
[08:48] Taro
    I've got no one to show off my cooking to.
[08:51] Taro
    I'll see if I can fish up Nussie.
[08:58] Jiro
    How large do you think Nussie is?
[09:00] Goro
    I'd say considerably since she's a dinosaur.
[09:04] Jiro
    I'm gonna look for her too, then!
[09:09] Goro
    Curry, eh?
[09:15] Perch
    It looks like they've started a search.
[09:18] Noin
    It's gotta be for MOParts!
[09:22] Noin
    I hope they find one fast!
[09:37] Taro
    This is getting creepy...
[09:39] Taro
    I really shouldn't have come.
[09:52] Taro
    Hey there.
[09:54] Yasuko
    Are you here to look for Nussie?
[09:57] Taro
    Oh, yeah!
[09:59] Taro
    By the way, are you on your own?
[10:03] Yasuko
    Nussie really does exist.
[10:07] Yasuko
    But no one believes me.
[10:10] Taro
    I could believe you...
[10:12] Yasuko
    Really?! That's great!
[10:19] Jiro
    Nussie of Loch Nuss...
[10:24] Jiro
    I guess it couldn't be that easy.
[10:27] Jiro
    Huh?
[10:32] Jiro
    What's he doing all by himself?
[10:37] Yasuko
    The oldest sightings of Nussie
    date back a thousand years.
[10:43] Yasuko
    And they've been consistent ever since.
[10:46] Taro
    Have you seen her yourself, Yasuko?
[10:48] Yasuko
    Yes, I have.
[10:57] Scott
    That's a fancy tent you've got there.
[10:59] Goro
    If you'd like, you can absorb
    the cosmic power on the inside.
[11:02] Scott
    Nah, I'll pass. I've got enough
    weird stuff going on with Nussie.
[11:08] Goro
    You've seen her yourself, then, groundskeeper?
[11:11] Scott
    I actually haven't.
[11:13] Scott
    Yasuko is the one who did.
[11:17] Goro
    Yasuko?
[11:20] Goro
    And who's that?
[11:22] Scott
    It happened ten years ago...
[11:24] Scott
    Yasuko said she saw a giant
    creature out in the lake.
[11:30] Scott
    And that it was Nussie.
[11:32] Scott
    But nobody believed her.
[11:35] Scott
    So, Yasuko set out on her own
    to try and catch Nussie...
[11:42] (Flashback) Yasuko
    I know Nussie exists.
[11:54] Scott
    The next morning, I found her washed up
    on the edge of the water.
[12:00] (Flashback) Scott
    Yasuko!
[12:05] (Flashback) Yasuko
    I saw... Nussie...
[12:08] (Flashback) Yasuko
    She really does live in Loch Nuss.
[12:16] (Flashback) Yasuko
    Nussie...
[12:22] Yasuko
    She died from the injuries I found her with.
[12:27] Yasuko
    Nobody has seen or heard Nussie ever since.
[12:34] Yasuko
    Your curry's gonna burn.
[12:35] Goro
    Whoa!
[12:38] Scott
    If you folks manage to find Nussie,
    maybe Yasuko can rest in peace.
[12:49] Yasuko
    This way.
[12:49] Yasuko
    Right this way, Taro.
[12:52] Taro
    Where are we going, Yasuko?
[12:58] Jiro
    Where do you think Taro's headed?
[13:08] Taro
    And what are we looking at here?
[13:10] Yasuko
    Look into the water.
[13:12] Taro
    In here?
[13:13] Taro
    I just see rocks...
[13:16] Yasuko
    It's not a rock.
[13:23] Jiro
    What the heck is he doing?
[13:25] Goro
    Jiro!
[13:27] Goro
    What is Taro doing over there?
[13:31] Jiro
    I have no clue.
[13:36] Taro
    Huh? There's something down here...
[13:41] Taro
    What is this thing?
[13:45] Taro
    Yasuko, did you mean this?
[13:46] Yasuko
    That's it!
[13:48] Taro
    But what is it?
[13:50] Yasuko
    Something very important.
[13:52] Yasuko
    With this, you can—
[13:53] Goro
    Taro!
[13:54] Goro
    Is that a MOPart?
[13:58] Taro
    This thing?
[13:59] Goro
    If I can just take a look...
[14:03] Jiro
    Kinda weird for Taro to not
    be made sick by a MOPart.
[14:06] Goro
    Perhaps it's already been purified?
[14:10] Taro
    Hey, Yasuko, is this thing a MOPart?
[14:14] Jiro
    Who are you talking to, Taro?
[14:17] Goro
    Yasuko? But that would be...
[14:19] Noin
    Hey, you dorks!
[14:23] Noin
    Hand the MOPart over!
[14:25] Goro
    It's that duo again!
[14:27] Perch
    Hand it over if you know
    what's good for you.
[14:31] Taro
    This thing is important to Yasuko!
[14:33] Taro
    I'm not letting you clowns touch it!
[14:36] Noin
    Then I'll just have to show you...
[14:39] Noin
    who you're dealing with!
[14:41] Goro
    That's the MOPart from before!
[14:43] Jiro
    Then they really did steal it!
[14:47] Noin
    Transform!
[15:03] Jiro
    He can transform, too?!
[15:07] Noin
    Well? Shocked, aren't you?!
[15:09] Jiro
    And he's actually rational, unlike Taro!
[15:11] Taro
    Don't make it sound like I'm at fault!
[15:14] Noin
    Now, hand the MOPart over!
[15:17] Taro
    Like I told you, this belongs to Yasuko!
[15:22] Taro
    Transform...!
[15:35] Taro
    Hey, how am I supposed to transform?!
[15:37] Taro
    Come on, come on, come on!
[15:39] Jiro
    Goro! We need the MOPart!
[15:41] Goro
    Oh, right!
[15:43] Jiro
    This is how we do it!
[15:48] Goro
    Oh, is that how?
[16:08] Noin
    Bring it!
[16:13] Goro
    A battle between beastmen!
[16:16] Jiro
    I know! I should get some pics!
[16:26] Perch
    Noin!
[16:27] Noin
    This stupid furball...
[16:38] Perch
    Noin!
[16:43] Noin
    Dammit...
[16:47] Jiro
    They're too fast!
[16:51] Jiro
    This is no good.
[16:55] Jiro
    And now I'm out of film! Shoot.
[16:59] Perch
    This is bad... I didn't think the Motarian
    would be stronger than Noin.
[17:03] Goro
    That's it, Taro!
[17:07] Perch
    Noin!
[17:08] Noin
    I... know!
[17:13] Noin
    Don't mess with me!
[17:33] Goro
    He won!
[17:35] Perch
    Got it!
[17:39] Perch
    We're getting out of here, Noin!
[17:41] Goro
    Hold it!
[17:56] Noin
    Back off! Go away!
[17:59] Perch
    Get in!
[18:11] Goro
    They stole another MOPart from us...
[18:19] Jiro
    You put in some good work today,
    which makes it a shame—
[18:36] Goro
    Are you awake, Taro?
[18:36] Taro
    Ow, ow, ow...
[18:38] Taro
    How'd it turn out, anyway?
[18:40] Goro
    I'm afraid they took the MOPart.
[18:43] Taro
    Then I lost...?
[18:46] Goro
    You were winning, but they
    managed to snatch it from me.
[18:50] Goro
    I'm sorry!
[18:51] Taro
    What the heck?
[18:52] Jiro
    You collapsed after running
    out of steam, anyway,
[18:55] Jiro
    so you can't blame him, Taro.
[18:59] Jiro
    "The mysterious beastmen on film!"
[19:01] Jiro
    ...Is not going to be an article we
    can do with these blurry shots.
[19:05] Taro
    This one's me?
[19:06] Jiro
    Yep.
[19:07] Taro
    What about this, then?
[19:09] Jiro
    Huh... what is that?
[19:15] Goro
    I believe it's Nussie!
[19:17] Goro
    Nussie of Loch Nuss!
[19:20] Jiro
    Then Nussie is real!
[19:22] Goro
    This is fantastic! What a scoop!
[19:24] Goro
    I'm sure the chief will be thrilled!
[19:25] Taro
    Seriously...?
[19:28] Jiro
    And so will the sponsor!
[19:30] Goro
    Let's use this to get a closer look...
[19:33] Jiro
    I'm gonna get a credit for the photo!
[19:37] Goro
    What's this...?
[19:39] Scott
    I recognize it...!
[19:41] Scott
    That's Yasuko's harpoon!
[19:46] Taro
    Sorry, Yasuko.
[19:49] Taro
    It was important to you,
    but they got away with it.
[19:51] Yasuko
    It's okay.
[19:53] Yasuko
    Since you were able to find Nussie...
[19:55] Taro
    That really was Nussie, then?
[19:58] Taro
    We're gonna do a whole feature on her
    in next month's Monthly Moso Science.
[20:02] Yasuko
    Thank you, Taro.
[20:09] Taro
    Wait, Yasuko!
[20:11] Yasuko
    Thank you...
[20:14] Taro
    Wait!
[20:16] Taro
    Ow! Ow, ow, ow...
[20:18] Yasuko
    Goodbye!
[20:23] Scott
    He's able to see Yasuko...?
[20:27] Jiro
    It's a condition he has.
[20:29] Goro
    You mean to say that Taro
    has been talking with a ghost?
[20:33] Jiro
    I doubt he even thinks she was one.
[20:37] Taro
    Yasuko!
[20:41] Taro
    She looked like a real go-getter, too...
[20:49] Edward
    This isn't a MOPart.
[20:52] Perch
    It's not?!
[20:54] Edward
    It appears to be a bone
    from some sort of creature.
[20:56] Noin
    A bone...!
[20:58] Noin
    And after we worked so hard for it!

[21:22] Goro
    We should do another run!
    Where's the chief, anyway?
[21:26] Taro
    Catherine's always coming and going,
    come to think of it.
[21:30] Goro
    You're not able to contact her?
[21:31] Jiro
    We don't know a thing about
    her private life, honestly.
[21:41] Edward
    It's still only one MOPart,
[21:44] Edward
    but we have more Motarians to work with...
[21:48] Edward
    Which will ensure we obtain all the MOParts.
