[00:10] Taro
    What is this place?
[00:19] Goro
    These patterns... I've seen them before...
[00:25] Goro
    Could it be?
[00:30] Goro
    That's it! If we gather them all here...
[00:34] Taro
    Something wrong?
[00:36] Jiro
    No, it's... It's nothing.
[00:46] Jiro
    What did I just see?
[00:52] Edward
    I didn't anticipate them
    discovering the chamber.
[01:01] Edward
    It seems I'll have to
    intervene directly, after all.

[02:48] Goro
    Oh... looking more closely,
    these are indentations.
[02:51] Goro
    Let's see.
[02:55] Goro
    There's six!
[03:01] Jiro
    What in the world was that?
[03:04] Goro
    I see! So there are six MOParts in total.
[03:07] Goro
    And we currently have two!
[03:10] Goro
    If we can gather the remaining four...
[03:12] Goro
    Are you listening?
[03:14] JIro
    Huh? Wh-What?
[03:19] Goro
    It's likely that the MOParts
    were originally a single item.
[03:24] Goro
    That would match what I read in the
    writings of the philosopher Peleton.
[03:28] Goro
    "When the scattered pieces of the slate
    are gathered from around the world,
[03:31] Goro
    the path to the golden
    continent will reveal itself."
[03:35] Jiro
    What golden continent?
[03:37] Goro
    I believe it refers to the Mo Continent.
[03:41] Goro
    Perhaps there was
    a large amount of gold there,
[03:45] Goro
    or maybe its advanced technology
    was described as "golden."
[03:50] Goro
    Regardless, once we've gathered
    the remaining MOParts,
[03:54] Goro
    I believe it will give us a lead
    on how to raise the continent of Mo.
[03:58] Goro
    Putting that aside, I should really ask
    the owner about that room—
[04:01] Jiro
    Old Rock's out shopping right now.
[04:04] Jiro
    I managed to ask about it
    before he left, though.
[04:06] Goro
    What did he say?
[04:09] (Flashback) Rock
    No clue what you're talking about.
[04:12] Jiro
    And that was it.
[04:13] Goro
    Oh... I see.
[04:17] Goro
    Come to think of it, where's Taro?
[04:19] Jiro
    Not sure.
[04:21] Johnny
    A matchmaking party, huh?
[04:23] Taro
    Yeah! I was hoping I could get some advice.
[04:28] Johnny
    Well, I'd say it all boils down to looks.
[04:31] Taro
    Looks? Not income?
[04:35] Johnny
    I've got an exclusive contract
    to model for White Pegasus,
[04:39] Johnny
    but between you and me, I'm not
    making squat. They're real cheapskates.
[04:45] Johnny
    And yet...
[04:48] Johnny
    Ladies love me!
[04:54] Johnny
    See what I mean?
[04:55] Taro
    Then it really is all about looks.
[04:57] Taro
    Thanks for the tip, Johnny!
[04:59] Johnny
    Good luck!
[05:00] Taro
    Aw, come on! Why not?!
[05:03] Nancy
    Because you don't meet
    the income requirement, obviously.
[05:08] Taro
    Johnny said looks are
    more important than money!
[05:11] Nancy
    And you're saying that? With how you look?
[05:15] Nancy
    I'm saying you don't meet
    that standard either. Bye now.
[05:20] Taro
    Damn it all! I wanted in on that
    VIP-only matchmaking party!
[05:25] Jiro
    Well, that sucks for you.
[05:27] Goro
    I'd say finding the remaining MOParts
    takes priority over your marriage search!
[05:31] Goro
    After all, you're no longer alone
    now that Jiro can transform, too!
[05:36] Goro
    Once we set our minds to it, it'll be simple!
[05:39] Goro
    And on that note, I'd like you
    to each hold on to one of these.
[05:44] Jiro
    Why?
[05:45] Goro
    So you'll be able to transform
    should the need arise!
[05:47] Taro
    I don't wanna transform! I wanna fill out
    a form! A marriage license, namely!
[05:51] Goro
    Stop that!
[05:52] Goro
    You should have it on you! Here,
    let me just put it in your pocket...
[05:56] Taro
    Don't wanna!
[05:57] Goro
    Stop struggling!
[05:57] Taro
    This junk takes up
    more space than you'd think!
[05:59] Goro
    Coming!
[06:01] Jiro
    Well, mine can go in here.
[06:02] Taro
    What a pain.
[06:03] Goro
    Yes, this is Rock's Cafe.
[06:06] Goro
    Oh, right. I've heard all about you.
[06:12] Goro
    Just one moment.
    It's Nancy from Moment Marriage!
[06:17] Taro
    How's she want to insult me now?
[06:21] Taro
    Yeah, I'm here.
[06:25] Taro
    Wait, seriously?!
[06:27] Taro
    You bet! How could I say no?!
[06:29] Taro
    What?!
[06:31] Taro
    Oh. Okay, got it.
[06:34] Goro
    What happened?
[06:37] Taro
    She says I can go to the VIP party now!
[06:40] Jiro
    Wait, why?
[06:41] Taro
    And you have to come too, Goro.
[06:44] Goro
    I do?!
[06:46] Goro
    But I'm not at all looking to get married!
[06:51] Taro
    Turns out the party's sponsor
[06:53] Taro
    is real interested in having the author of
    the "Nussie from Loch Nuss" article as a guest.
[06:59] Goro
    What an opulent vessel!
[07:01] Taro
    Right?! Perfect for meeting someone special!
SIGN    Mr. Taro J. Suzuki and Mr. Goro Sato, yes?
[07:07] Both
    Yes!
[07:16] Goro
    Should I really be here...?
[07:19] Taro
    It's fine! You never know
    when you're gonna fall in love.
[07:23] Goro
    What's this "2-S time" on the schedule?
[07:27] Taro
    It's two-shot time.
[07:29] Taro
    The time set aside for one-on-one romancing.
[07:34] Perch
    Wait... he doesn't have his bag on him!
[07:37] Noin
    What?!
[07:39] Taro
    Man, these people really
    are very important-looking!
[07:42] Goro
    More importantly, Taro, you do have
    the you-know-what on you, yes?
[07:46] Taro
    Yeah...
[07:47] Taro
    This, right?
[07:49] Both
    There it is!
[07:51] Perch
    We've confirmed it, sir.
[07:53] Edward
    I see.
[07:56] Edward
    Understood.
[08:01] Taro
    "Hobbies: Over-scientific.
    Special Skills: Over-scientific.
[08:06] Taro
    What I'm looking for in a relationship:
    Someone to be over-scientific with"?
[08:10] Taro
    What is wrong with you?
[08:12] Edward
    I've never seen you two around before.
[08:15] Taro
    Yeah, we're new!
[08:18] Edward
    Would you like some advice?
[08:20] Taro
    Would you mind?
[08:22] Edward
    Well, at the start of the party, there's
    going to be time for making introductions.
[08:26] Taro
    Introduction time...
[08:29] Edward
    Each person will only have a brief moment,
[08:32] Edward
    so it's important to make a good impression.
[08:35] Taro
    Make a good impression... Any specifics?
[08:38] Edward
    Smile. Choose your words carefully. And...
[08:40] Edward
    Be mindful of eye contact.
[08:43] Taro
    I get you! You cach all that, Goro?
[08:46] Goro
    Uh, y-yes, sure.
[08:48] Edward
    Also, I recommend questions that
    can't be answered with a yes or no,
[08:52] Edward
    to maintain conversational momentum.
[08:56] Taro
    So, avoid yes or no questions...
[08:59] Edward
    An example would be,
    "How do you spend your days off?"
[09:03] Taro
    Makes sense! Write all this down, Goro!
[09:06] Goro
    Oh, s-sure.
[09:07] Noin
    The boss is really having a lot of trouble.
[09:10] Perch
    Why'd he think he could pickpocket
    people? He grew up with money.
[09:13] Goro
    You certainly seem well-informed...
[09:16] Edward
    I'm actually something of a veteran.
[09:18] Edward
    This is my fiftieth time attending
    one of these matchmaking parties...
[09:21] Taro
    Fiftieth?!
[09:22] Goro
    Remarkable.
[09:23] Taro
    You're like some kinda matchmaking legend!
[09:26] Jiro
    Doesn't that mean he never
    gets into a relationship?
[09:33] Nancy
    Ladies and gentlemen,
[09:34] Nancy
    I'd like to thank you for joining our
    VIP-only matchmaking cruise tonight!
SIGN    Matchmaking
    Party In Progress
[09:40] Nancy
    Our first segment tonight will be
    a fast-paced merry-go-round of introductions!
[09:48] Nancy
    You'll get three minutes per person.
[09:51] Nancy
    Ready and... go!
[09:55] Taro
    It's a pleasure.
[09:57] Woman 1
    H-Hi...
[09:59] Taro
    You can leave all the housework to me!
[10:01] Taro
    I will dedicate everything
    to supporting you and your career!
[10:04] Woman 1
    But what do you do for a living?
[10:07] Taro
    I'm in publishing! I intend to quit
    once I get married, though.
[10:12] Woman 1
    I see.
[10:14] Taro
    I'm actually an editor for a magazine.
    It's called Monthly Moso Science...
[10:18] Taro
    I guess you could say we take a scientific
    approach to all kinds of paranormal stuff?
[10:22] Taro
    I work on a magazine called
    Monthly Moso Science—
[10:26] Taro
    Our last issue sold out, actually!
[10:29] Taro
    It was a special feature on Nussie!
[10:32] Taro
    I'm actually an astronaut!
[10:34] Woman 6
    Wow!
[10:36] Taro
    I'm the world bantamweight champion!
[10:38] Woman 7
    Really?!
[10:40] Taro
    I'm a hero!
[10:41] Taro
    I'm an oil baron.
[10:43] Noin
    That dude is lying through his teeth.
[10:45] Perch
    Does he not realize they'll find out?
[10:47] Goro
    W-Well... I was a researcher
    at Science Laboratory previously.
[10:54] Woman 8
    Wow! And what do you do now?
[10:56] Goro
    Right now... I've been using that experience
    to help with my job in publishing
[10:59] Goro
    as I continue independent research...
[11:02] Woman 8
    It's amazing how dedicated
    you are to research!
[11:04] Woman 8
    So, what do you do on your days off?
[11:07] Woman 8
    Any hobbies? What's your annual income?
[11:11] Nancy
    And now it's time to
     check your first impressions!
[11:14] Nancy
    I'd like you to write a message card for
    whoever gave you the best first impression!
[11:19] Nancy
    Our staff will then give that card
    to the person in question!
[11:21] Goro
    Taro, I'm really not comfortable with this.
[11:23] Nancy
    Make sure it's a memorable message!
[11:23] Taro
    Let's see... Which was it...?
[11:27] Goro
    Is something wrong?
[11:28] Taro
    Just... trying to remember which
    job I said I had, and to who.
[11:32] Goro
    Were you lying?!
[11:34] Taro
    What do you want from me? You should've
    seen the looks I got when I was honest.
[11:38] Goro
    That's no excuse...
[11:41] Taro
    I know...
[11:42] Taro
    Man, what am I gonna do?
[11:45] Edward
    It'll be all right!
[11:46] Edward
    It's less what job you have,
[11:48] Edward
    and more what kind of life you live,
    as well as what your values are!
[11:53] Edward
    I'm certain there's a lovely woman who
    you're destined to be with here tonight, Taro!
[11:59] Taro
    You really are a legend!
    You know just what to say!
[12:01] Edward
    Just have some faith and
    write out your message card!
[12:04] Taro
    Got it!
[12:08] Noin
    The boss signaled us for Phase 2 of the plan!
[12:11] Perch
    Okay. It's on you now, Anri.
[12:14] Anri
    Of course. Leave it to me.
[12:20] Goro
    I never did finish my message card...
[12:24] Taro
    Yeah. I mean, how can you
    pick just one person?
[12:28] Staff
    I have something for you.
[12:32] Edward
    Thank you.
[12:34] Goro
    I got one?!
[12:36] Taro
    What about me? Any for me?
[12:38] Staff
    Pardon me.
[12:41] Taro
    Wait, what about mine?
[12:48] Taro
    Why only me...?
[12:49] Jiro
    Maybe it's obvious how desperate you are.
[12:52] Taro
    What...?
[12:56] Taro
    Why are you even here?
[12:58] Jiro
    It's not just me. Check it out.
[13:03] Taro
    Great. Even Saburo has a girl.
[13:07] Taro
    A dog's got me beat.
[13:10] Anri
    Excuse me...
[13:11] Anri
    Do you have a minute?
[13:14] Taro
    Who? Me?
[13:16] Anri
    Of course.
[13:20] Taro
    Y-Yes! Certainly!
[13:22] Anri
    Let's step outside, then.
[13:24] Taro
    Of course. Shall we?
[13:34] Anri
    The breeze feels so nice...
[13:36] Anri
    I had wanted to get some fresh air.
[13:40] Anri
    And spend some time with you.
[13:42] Taro
    J-Just the two of us?!
[13:45] Taro
    Uh, I didn't see you around earlier...
[13:48] Anri
    Well, I had my heart
    set on you to begin with.
[13:51] Anri
    So I sat out the introduction time.
[13:56] Anri
    I'm actually the one who asked
    that you be invited.
[14:03] Anri
    I was touched by that article about Nussie
    from Loch Nuss two months ago!
[14:07] Taro
    You know what kind of
    job I have, but still...?
[14:11] Anri
    Of course.
[14:12] Anri
    I care more about what kind of life you live,
    and what your values are, than your job.
[14:22] Anri
    I'm sure you've had a lot
    of interesting experiences.
[14:25] Taro
    Y-Yeah! I guess...
[14:28] Anri
    Do you have any strange mementos?
[14:32] Anri
    A mysterious stone, maybe?
[14:35] Taro
    O-Oh yeah! Actually...
[14:38] Taro
    Wait, not this. This one, I mean.
[14:42] Anri
    Wow!
[14:45] Taro
    It's honestly not that interesting, though.
[14:48] Taro
    I know...
[14:49] Taro
    Get a load of this!
[14:51] Taro
    It was a fortune I got.
[14:53] Taro
    I'm positive this heart is
    what led us to each other!
[14:57] Taro
    Oh, it's so over-scientific!
[15:00] Anri
    Would it be okay if I got
    a better look at the other thing?
[15:03] Taro
    Oh, this?
[15:05] Anri
    Not that!
[15:08] Anri
    Oh, forgive me!
[15:10] Anri
    I just get so excited over gemstones...
    I lost my composure!
[15:15] Taro
    Look, I'm glad that you're
    interested in my job...
[15:19] Taro
    But I actually intend on quitting
    once I get married.
[15:23] Anri
    Oh, that is just so perfect!
[15:26] Anri
    I had always intended on continuing
    to work once I got married,
[15:30] Anri
    and was looking for a partner
    who would support me!
[15:33] Taro
    Really?!
[15:36] Taro
    What kind of work do you do?!
[15:37] Anri
    I'm a singer! With a side of modeling.
[15:40] Taro
    You can rest assured! I will dedicate
    everything I have to supporting you!
[15:46] Jiro
    Does he even have anything
    to dedicate? Sheesh.
[15:50] Jiro
    And where have I seen her before?
[15:55] Nancy
    And that concludes our free time!
[16:00] Nancy
    Now it's time for a break.
[16:02] Nancy
    We'll be doing a second round
    of message cards next...
[16:04] Goro
    This is extremely exhausting
    for some reason.
[16:05] Nancy
    This will be your final chance!
[16:08] Taro
    At long last, it's time
    I say goodbye to this grind!
[16:11] Taro
    As I sail off on the journey
    known as marriage!
[16:16] Goro
    I see.
[16:18] Goro
    I'm thinking of excusing myself.
[16:21] Taro
    Come on, man, that'd be rude
    to the ladies in attendance.
[16:24] Taro
    You've gotta have an even
    number on both sides.
[16:26] Jiro
    There were more guys all along, so it's fine.
[16:31] Goro
    Jiro?!
[16:32] Taro
    Whoa, you're still down there?
[16:35] JIro
    We're on a boat. Where am I gonna go?
[16:38] Edward
    Hello, gentlemen. How's it going?
[16:41] Taro
    Your advice helped me seal the deal!
[16:43] Edward
    I'm glad to hear it.
[16:45] Edward
    I think things are shaping up
    nicely for me, as well.
[16:47] Edward
    Perhaps if we both end up in couples,
    we could go on a double date.
[16:52] Taro
    A double date with the legend?!
    I'd be honored!
[17:00] Jiro
    The final matching time is about to start.
[17:03] Goro
    I'm feeling a bit guilty, to be honest.
[17:05] Goro
    Everyone's so serious
    about getting married...
[17:08] Goro
    I really shouldn't have
    joined in the first place.
[17:12] Jiro
    I mean, considering you don't
    care about marriage, yeah.
[17:14] Goro
    I know. I really am sorry...
[17:21] Goro
    I have to say, though...
[17:24] Goro
    The legend of the matchmaking party...
[17:27] Goro
    I can't shake the feeling that
    I recognize him from somewhere.
[17:30] Jiro
    I know what you mean!
[17:32] Jiro
    That Anri lady...
    I think I've seen her before.
[17:46] Nancy
    It's confession time!
[17:51] Taro
    It's from Anri!
[17:53] Taro
    Now I can get married and quit,
    like I've always dreamed of!
[17:56] Edward
    It seems we're just about
    guaranteed to find someone.
[18:00] Edward
    Taro, let's make sure to arrange
    for that double date.
[18:03] Taro
    Yeah! Of course!
[18:06] Goro
    I just remembered! It's him!
[18:09] Goro
    The president of the White
    Pegasus Company, Edward Chi!
[18:13] Jiro
    Right! And the woman!
[18:15] Jiro
    She was in that poster
    they had at White Pegasus!
[18:19] Goro
    Why would their president
    be attending this party?
[18:24] Both
    It's a trap!
[18:31] Goro
    It won't open!
[18:32] Jiro
    What do we do?!
[18:33] Goro
    Taro! It's a trap!
[18:35] Jiro
    Taro! You gotta notice, Taro!
[18:39] Nancy
    Congratulations! We have our couples!
[18:43] Nancy
    And now, for number five...
[18:46] Taro
    I'm finally next.
[18:48] Taro
    I get to leave the rat race
    and become a househusband!
[18:53] Taro
    It's been quite the journey.
[18:55] Taro
    So much has happened...
[18:58] Taro
    Unbelievable stuff.
[19:00] Taro
    Looking back now... the time
    I spent with those guys...
[19:06] Taro
    It was actually kinda fun.
[19:09] Taro
    Wait, what am I crying for?
[19:14] Taro
    My dream's about to come true...
[19:18] Taro
    I guess these might be the marriage blues?
[19:26] Goro
    It's no good! You'd need inhuman strength!
[19:29] Jiro
    Inhuman... That's it!
[19:32] Goro
    Do you mean—
[19:47] Nancy
    And now, number six, step forward!
[19:54] Taro
    Well... um... I've... uh...
[20:04] Jiro
    Belay that confession.
[20:14] Nancy
    And... you are?

    It should be obvious, you miscreant!
[20:23] Jiro
    Come along, you lowborn worm.
[20:32] Taro
    Wh-Whoa!
[20:33] Jiro
    I bid you all good night.
[20:40] BG Woman
    What the hell was that?!
[20:45] Goro
    And that concludes our special
    "Wouldn't that be wild?!" sketch!
[20:53] Taro
    Damn it all...
[20:55] Taro
    My shot at marriage is ruined,
    thanks to a certain someone.
[20:59] Jiro
    I don't really remember, so...
[21:03] Taro
    To be honest... I had a case of
    the marriage blues for a while there.
[21:09] Taro
    I think maybe I like working
    here more than I realized.
[21:14] Goro
    Well, this means we can all keep working
    together like before! Isn't that great?
[21:20] Goro
    Oh, it's so over-scientific!
[21:24] Jiro
    Hey, listen. When I was
    carrying you away, Taro...
[21:29] Taro
    Wait, you mean you do remember?
[21:31] Jiro
    It's more like I remembered just now.
[21:34] Goro
    Remembered what?
[21:36] Jiro
    About the Continent of Mo.
[21:43] Edward
    This was within my expectations.
[21:46] Edward
    And now... I'll have to
    enlist their aid in my plan.
