**[00:02] Na**
An intermingling of repeated wishes...
**[00:05] Na**
Two destinies intertwining...
**[00:09] Na**
Long, long ago, in the
land of the rising sun,
**[00:13] Na**
the gods held a festival to
choose twelve divine messengers
**[00:18] Na**
to protect the newborn land.
**[00:20] Na**
However, due to the Rat's trickery,
**[00:23] Na**
the Cat was not able to
participate in the festival
**[00:26] Na**
and could not become part of the zodiac.
**[00:29] Na**
This is a story that still continues today,
**[00:32] Na**
of a pure-hearted cat and
the twelve "Eto-musume."

Please list the Chinese zodiac in order.
**[03:23] Takeru**
Chinese zodiac?
***SIGN*** Hiruichi
***SIGN*** Q. List the Chinese zodiac in order
**[03:24] Takeru**
Um...
**[03:27] Inu**
Hear that? He said "Eto."
**[03:29] Key**
'Cause that "um" noise sounds like "Eto!"
**[03:30] Shima**
That was pretty bad.
**[03:32] Takeru**
It wasn't on purpose.
**[03:33] Mo**
Don't worry about that.
Just list the Chinese zodiac.
**[03:38] Takeru**
Rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake...
**[03:41] Takeru**
Snake, snake... What was after that?
**[03:44] Usa**

**[03:53] Key**

**[03:53] Takeru**
Um, hello?
***SIGN*** Losers
**[03:55] Mei**
This hurts...
**[03:56] Uma**
It stopped at me again...
***SIGN*** Winners
**[03:59] Takeru**
Okay, I'm going now.
***SIGN*** House For Rent
***SIGN*** -Single house with yard
-Rent: 30,000 per month
-Lots of sunlight
-Faces south -Two stories
-Comes with furniture -Just one imperfection
**[04:04] Takeru**
* A single house with a yard*
* for 30,000 yen per month...*
**[04:08] Takeru**
*It looks normal from the outside,*
**[04:11] Takeru**
*but what's this "Just one imperfection:
part of the living room is* fukafuka*"?*
***SIGN*** Part of the living room is *fukafuka*
**[04:22] Takeru**
*That's the* fukafuka *part?*
**[04:24] Takeru**
Wow, it really is puffy (fukafuka).
**[04:27] Takeru**
What is this hole?!
**[04:29] Takeru**
It's deep (fuka)! That's a deep hole!
**[04:31] Takeru**
Wait, that's not what it
meant by *fukafuka*, is it?
**[04:36] Takeru**
I need to calm down.
**[04:41] Takeru**
I guess it shouldn't be a
problem if I'm careful.
**[04:45] Takeru**
Huh? That meow...
***SIGN*** Meow~
**[04:49] Takeru**
From there?
***SIGN*** Meow~
**[04:58] Nya**
Meow.
**[05:02] Nya**
Did that excite you?
**[05:04] Takeru**
I'm Amato Takeru. Who are you?
**[05:15] Nya**
I'm Nya-tan, meow!
**[05:18] Takeru**
Nya-tan Meow-san?
**[05:20] Nya**
No! I'm Nya-tan, meow!
**[05:22] Takeru**
Noim Nya-tan Meow-san?
**[05:24] Nya**
What language is that?!
**[05:26] Nya**
I'm Nya-tan! Meow!
**[05:27] Takeru**
Oh, okay. Nya-tan, then.
**[05:29] Nya**
Why are you tired of it
now?! Wait a second!
**[05:32] Nya**
Did that lick excite you?
**[05:39] Takeru**
Yeah. It did.
**[05:40] Nya**
Be honest! I want to hear
the truth, not a lie.
***SIGN*** Fidget
**[05:45] Nya**
Even if it hurts...
**[05:46] Takeru**
Sorry. I lied.
**[05:47] Nya**
That hurt!
**[05:48] Nya**
Why?!
**[05:49] Nya**
How are you not excited after a run-in
with a lucky licking situation like that?!
***SIGN*** Hmm...
**[05:53] Takeru**
I see... So this is a lucky situation, huh?
**[05:56] Nya**
Seriously?
**[05:57] Takeru**
I don't really get it, but sorry
I didn't meet your expectations.
**[06:00] Nya**
Depressing!
**[06:01] Nya**
I'm not enough for you?
**[06:03] Takeru**
No, that's not what I meant...
**[06:06] Takeru**
I guess it's neither good nor bad.
**[06:07] Nya**
Depressing!
**[06:08] Nya**
Meow!
**[06:11] Takeru**
You know, if you're leaving,
you should use the front door...
**[06:17] Uma**
This is a survey!
**[06:18] Guy**
Wh-What?
**[06:20] Key**
List the Chinese zodiac in order!
**[06:21] Guy**
Huh?
**[06:22] Piyo**
Just do it.
**[06:23] Guy**
Um...
**[06:25] Guy**
Rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake...
**[06:28] Guy**
Snake... Snake...
***SIGN*** Losers
**[06:31] Uma**
It's the sound of it!
"Horse" just doesn't roll off the tongue!
**[06:34] Guy**
Can I go now?
**[06:43] Takeru**
Well, it's a little early,
but I guess I'll take a bath.
**[06:48] Nya**
Meow?
**[06:51] Nya**
Meow! Onii-chan, you pervert!
**[06:56] Nya**
Onii-chan, were you hoping
to take a bath with me?
**[07:00] Nya**
B-But...
**[07:01] Nya**
I'd be embarrassed, though...
**[07:05] Nya**
To bathe with you...
**[07:06] Takeru**
I'm thinking of taking you to the police
for unlawful entry and assault.
***SIGN*** Rumble
**[07:10] Nya**
You mean civil or criminal?
**[07:11] Takeru**
If you want, I can appeal for both.
**[07:20] Uma**
It's hopeless.
**[07:22] Mei**
Nobody remembers us at all.
**[07:25] Usa**
Honestly, you all look pathetic.
**[07:28] Key**
Shut up!
**[07:30] Usa**
Don't get so upset.
**[07:32] Usa**
We'll just have to come
up with a way to list the
**[07:35] Usa**
Chinese zodiac that's easier to remember.
**[07:37] Mo**
Oh! That's a good, nice idea!
**[07:40] Mei**
What sort of way?
**[07:42] Shar**
Chinese.
**[07:45] Shima**
Oh, Chinese, huh? That would be...
**[07:50] Shima**
Zi, chou, yin, mao, chen, si,
wu, wei, shen, you, xu, hai.
**[07:55] Key**
That's pretty rhythmic!
**[07:57] Inu**
I like it!
**[07:57] Shima**
Right?
**[07:59] All**
Zi, chou, yin, mao, chen,
si, wu, wei, shen, you, xu,
**[08:02] All**
hai!
**[08:03] Uma**
Wu!
**[08:03] Mei**
Wei!
**[08:04] Key**
Shen!
**[08:04] Piyo**
You!
**[08:04] Inu**
Xu!
**[08:05] All**
Hai!
**[08:05] All**
Wu, wei, shen, you, xu, hai!
**[08:07] All**
You, xu, hai! You, xu, hai!
**[08:10] All**
Hai! Hai!
**[08:11] All**
Hai! Hai! Hai! Hai!
**[08:12] All**
Hai! Hai!
**[08:14] All**
Hai! Hai! Hai! Hai!
**[08:21] Nya**
Oh, Takeru-han! Do you feel better?
**[08:24] Nya**
Here. It's just something simple I
whipped up from what was in the fridge.
***SIGN*** Milk
**[08:31] Nya**
* How's this?! I'm a Kyoto woman who can*
* put together a snack from leftovers!*
**[08:35] Nya**
* This character is also*
* divorced with one child!*
**[08:38] Takeru**
I'm going out for a bit.
**[08:39] Nya**
Where are you going?
**[08:41] Takeru**
To buy food...
**[08:43] Takeru**
and scout around.
**[08:45] Lady**
Thank you very much.
**[08:50] Takeru**
A delivery?
**[08:57] Nya**
Meow!
**[08:58] Nya**
Sorry it took so long!
I finally made up my mind!
**[09:01] Nya**
Your present is...
**[09:03] Nya**
Me!
**[09:05] Nya**
That's my character now!
**[09:05] Takeru**
Add indecent exposure to the charges.
**[09:09] Takeru**
Don't sharpen your claws on the pillar.
**[09:11] Takeru**
So what is it you want to do, exactly?
**[09:15] Nya**
I can't...
**[09:16] Nya**
I can't settle on a character type.
**[09:19] Nya**
Meowie? Meowow?
**[09:20] Nya**
Mea? Mew?
**[09:21] Nya**
Meoo?
**[09:22] Takeru**
So you're trying to find yourself?
**[09:25] Nya**
When you put it that way,
it sounds really embarrassing.
***SIGN*** Fidget
**[09:28] Nya**
I wish I could jump into a hole!
**[09:30] Takeru**
Here.
***SIGN*** Hole
**[09:31] Nya**
Seriously?!
**[09:37] Takeru**
You really did go in.
**[09:40] Takeru**
That's what you get for dressing like that.
**[09:42] Nya**
But, but...
***SIGN*** Bath Automatic
***SIGN*** More Hot Water
**[09:49] Takeru**
The bath won't take long to fill.
**[09:52] Takeru**
They say if your body is cold,
your heart will stay cold, too.
**[09:55] Takeru**
I heard that from someone a long time ago.
**[10:07] Nya**
Huh? Something smells nice...
**[10:16] Nya**
I'm all warmed up!
**[10:17] Nya**
Takeru, get me a beer!
**[10:19] Takeru**
Huh?!
**[10:20] Takeru**
How old are you?
**[10:22] Nya**
I'm a divine messenger.
**[10:24] Nya**
I'm not human, so age means nothing to me.
**[10:27] Takeru**
I have no idea what you're talking about,
**[10:29] Takeru**
and I'm a minor, so I have no beer.
**[10:31] Nya**
Aww... Okay, black vinegar!
**[10:32] Takeru**
I don't have that, either.
**[10:33] Nya**
Then olive oil!
**[10:34] Takeru**
I don't— Wait, you drink that?
**[10:35] Uri**
Then sesame oil.
**[10:36] Takeru**
None of that, either.
**[10:37] Takeru**
Wh-Who was that?!
**[10:39] Uri**
Pleased to meet you. I'm Uri-tan.
**[10:43] Takeru**
Uri-tan?
**[10:44] Uri**
Yes. I'm an Eto-musume, like Nya-tan.
**[10:48] Takeru**
Eto-musume?
**[10:50] Uri**
Yes.
**[10:51] Uri**
Oh, but I'm ranked higher than Nya-tan.
***SIGN*** Zodiac Girl
**[10:55] Uri**
I'm the boar, Eto-shin.
***SIGN*** Boar
***SIGN*** Zodiac God
**[10:57] Takeru**
Right.
**[10:57] Takeru**
So I might as well ask...
Where'd you come from?
**[11:00] Uri**
From this hole.
***SIGN*** Hole
**[11:02] Takeru**
I should've known...
**[11:03] Takeru**
Where does that hole lead to?
**[11:05] Uri**
The world of the gods.
**[11:07] Takeru**
Gods?!
**[11:07] Uri**
Sometimes.
**[11:08] Takeru**
What do you mean, sometimes?
**[11:09] Uri**
By the way, is Nya-tan working hard at
her training to join the Chinese zodiac?
**[11:16] Takeru**
Are you trying to speed up the story?
***SIGN*** ack
**[11:20] Takeru**
This feels like a exposition
character just showed up
**[11:22] Takeru**
because Nya-tan was dragging things out.
**[11:26] Uri**
Well, the A part is going to be over soon...
**[11:29] Takeru**
A part?
**[11:30] Uri**
You really haven't been told anything?!
**[11:33] Uri**
Nya-tan, what have you
been doing all this time?
**[11:38] Nya**
What?
**[11:41] Takeru**
And?
**[11:43] Nya**
Okay... I'm a cat Eto-musume,
**[11:46] Nya**
and I really want to become
part of the Chinese zodiac.
**[11:49] Takeru**
A cat in the Chinese zodiac?
**[11:51] Nya**
Yes.
**[11:52] Takeru**
Why?
**[11:56] Nya**
Come to think of it, I'm not really sur—
**[11:58] Uri**
Well, you see, that's...
**[12:05] Takeru**
What was that?
**[12:09] Dora**
I've been looking for you,
**[12:12] Dora**
Nya-tan.
***SIGN*** Animals possessing "Etotama," the spirits of the Chinese zodiac, who can transform into even purer maiden forms via Sol/Lull. The highest Eto-musume are called Eto-shin, and the rest are simply called Eto-musume.
***SIGN*** A power given from gods to people, and from people to Eto-musume. It is also what gives the Eto-musume their life force through the "proper emotions" of humans, such as joy and gratitude, and is the energy that comprises all things in nature.
**[12:31] Nya**
D-Dora-tan?
**[12:39] Takeru**
A dragon aura... The dragon Eto-musume?
**[12:43] Uri**
Yes. More specifically, she's an Eto-shin.
**[12:46] Takeru**
So if she's a god, Nya-tan,
she's higher than y—
**[12:48] Nya**
Why are you here?!
**[12:49] Dora**
You shouldn't have to ask why.
**[12:51] Nya**
I can't believe it!
**[12:53] Takeru**
Is she shocked because this dragon girl
**[12:55] Takeru**
she thought was a friend
ended up being a traitor?
**[12:58] Nya**
Why?
**[13:01] Dora**
A human...
**[13:07] Uri**
Look out!
**[13:10] Nya**
Takeru!
**[13:21] Uri**
What is this about?
**[13:28] Dora**
I'll come at you for real
this time, Nya-tan.
***SIGN*** Dragon
**[13:32] Dora**
Prepare yourself.
**[13:34] Nya**
Oh no!
**[13:34] Nya**
Takeru!
**[13:35] Takeru**
Huh? What?
**[13:36] Nya**
Give me Sol/Lull!
**[13:39] Takeru**
Huh? Sol/Lull?
**[13:41] Takeru**
What is that? I've never
heard that word before.
**[13:44] Nya**
There's no time to explain!
**[13:46] Nya**
You know! The stuff you
sparkled out in the A part!
**[13:49] Takeru**
Uh-huh...
**[13:49] Nya**
Come on! Cough it up!
**[13:51] Nya**
You just have to squeeze some out!
**[13:53] Takeru**
Yeah, but what *is* Sol/Lull?
**[13:55] Uri**
It is a sacred power given from gods to
people, and from people to Eto-musume.
***SIGN*** Sol/Lull (Moe Power) Is:
**[13:59] Uri**
Human emotions such as joy and gratitude—
**[14:02] Nya**
Takeru! Takeru!
**[14:04] Nya**
You were out of body soap
earlier, so I refilled it!
**[14:08] Takeru**
Oh, really? Well...
***SIGN*** Thank You
**[14:09] Takeru**
Thank you.
**[14:21] Nya**
Takeru, this is enough Sol/Lull for now!
**[14:24] Takeru**
Huh?
**[14:28] Nya**
Etotama! Sol/Lull Charge!
***SIGN*** Cat
***SIGN*** Cat
**[15:02] Nya**
Cat Eto-musume, Nya-tan!
**[15:06] Voice**
*Get ready for the match.*
**[15:32] Takeru**
Um, they're both a lot
smaller all of a sudden.
**[15:35] Uri**
This is ETM12.
**[15:37] Takeru**
Huh?
**[15:38] Uri**
Oh, but this is not an official match...
**[15:41] Uri**
It wasn't Nya-tan who proposed
the battle, so in this case...
**[15:45] Uri**
Oh, I'll explain it to
you properly next time.
**[15:47] Takeru**
S-Seriously? You're allowed
to drag it out like that?
**[15:49] Uri**
For starters, let's see what happens.
**[15:52] Nya**
Why did you betray me?!
**[15:56] Dora**
You wouldn't understand.
**[16:25] Nya**
I trusted you...
**[16:28] Nya**
Why?!
**[16:37] Dora**
You wouldn't understand even if I told you!
**[16:45] Nya**
Was it all...
**[16:47] Nya**
Was it all a lie?
**[16:50] Nya**
The smiles...
**[16:51] Nya**
The tears...
**[16:53] Nya**
That promise...
**[16:55] Nya**
And the future we were
reaching for together?!
**[17:05] Dora**
That's right.
**[17:10] Dora**
Is this all there is to the power
of the soul in your fist?!
**[17:17] Dora**
You're weak!
**[17:18] Dora**
You're too weak, Nya-tan!
**[17:23] Dora**
I think it's time I ended this.
**[17:53] Dora**
Come, Ryuusen Bashou!
**[17:59] Dora**
This is the end!
**[18:11] Dora**
Looks like you're out of Sol/Lull.
**[18:15] Nya**
I-I'm not done yet!
**[18:20] Dora**
The idea of you becoming an Eto-shin
**[18:25] Dora**
is laughable!
**[18:31] Takeru**
It disappeared...
**[18:32] Uri**
The battle is over.
**[18:34] Voice**
Battle terminated.
**[18:40] Takeru**
She's really bawling.
**[18:42] Nya**
I lost!
**[18:45] Dora**
Stop crying. You're embarrassing yourself.
**[18:48] Takeru**
I'm not sure what's going on,
but don't worry about it, Nya-tan.
**[18:51] Nya**
Your kindness hurts!
**[18:54] Uri**
That's...
**[18:55] Dora**
Goodness... That's some first-rate Sol/Lull.
**[18:59] Takeru**
What do you mean, first-rate?
**[19:01] Dora**
Now, there's no need to be so wary.
**[19:04] Uri**
Dora-tan is Nya-tan's spirit master.
**[19:07] Takeru**
Huh?
**[19:08] Nya**
I thought, if my character was a
tragic heroine who's shocked because
**[19:12] Nya**
the dragon Eto-musume she thought was
a friend ended up being a traitor,
**[19:16] Nya**
it might touch Takeru's heart.
**[19:19] Takeru**
Nothing's going to touch me if you
use such a convoluted method.
**[19:22] Nya**
Of course not.
**[19:24] Dora**
That's why I played the enemy role
and fired a little attack at you.
**[19:29] Dora**
I never intended to hit you.
**[19:33] Takeru**
Actually, that came pretty close...
**[19:36] Takeru**
Wh-What?
**[19:37] Dora**
Did you wash yourself with shampoo?
**[19:40] Takeru**
Huh?
**[19:41] Nya**
I might have refilled the soap
bottle with shampoo by mistake.
**[19:45] Nya**
Tee-hee!
**[19:46] Takeru**
Grr...
***SIGN*** Grrr
**[19:48] Uri**
But, Dora-tan, what did you
mean by "first-rate Sol/Lull"?
**[19:52] Dora**
Oh, yes. It's extremely rare Sol/Lull.
**[19:55] Dora**
It's of the finest quality to us
in both quality and quantity.
**[19:58] Nya**
Really?
**[19:59] Dora**
Yes.
**[20:01] Dora**
You should have felt it when you used
your Sol/Lull Charge in that battle.
**[20:05] Dora**
Even that small amount gave
you enough power to fight me.
**[20:12] Nya**
I see, I see!
**[20:14] Takeru**
You don't get it at all, do you?
**[20:16] Uri**
Nya-tan falls a little short
in the brains department.
**[20:19] Takeru**
I see...
**[20:21] Nya**
In other words...
**[20:22] Nya**
I got an invincibility star?!
***SIGN*** Right On!
**[20:26] Dora**
Yes. That's exactly what it means.
**[20:29] Nya**
With Takeru, I'm invincible!
**[20:31] Dora**
Good for you, Nya-tan.
**[20:33] Uri**
Though that's only if you can
get Sol/Lull from him...
**[20:36] Nya**
That's easy! I just have
to poke him a little!
**[20:40] Uri**
Poking doesn't make Sol/Lull come out.
**[20:42] Takeru**
It's like a cosplay skit...
**[20:42] Nya**
Then I'll just play the little
sister or present character again!
**[20:45] Takeru**
Well, I'm hungry,
so I guess I'll fix dinner.
**[20:48] Nya**
I want some!
**[20:49] Dora**
I don't like hot foods,
so keep it room temperature.
**[20:52] Uri**
I'll have anything but pork.
**[20:52] Nya**
Meat! Meat! Meat! Eat! Meat! Fish!
**[20:55] Takeru**
Where do I even start pointing
out what's wrong here?
**[20:57] Takeru**
Oh, well. I'm tired.
**[21:01] Takeru**
I won't think too much about it...
***SIGN*** Oh, Right
**[21:06] Takeru**
My house was completely destroyed!
**[21:10] Takeru**
What do I do about this?!
**[21:12] Dora**
You're denser than I thought.
**[21:14] Nya**
Don't worry, Takeru!
I'll strip down and help!
**[21:16] Takeru**
You mean buckle down and help!
That didn't even make sense!
**[22:59] Uma**
All because... All because my

***SIGN*** Oden

You all seem to be in high spirits.
**[23:19] Shima**

**[23:21] Shima**
You're in pretty high spirits yourself.
**[23:24] Dora**
I met a rather interesting human.

If you were born in the year of
the cat, you have to worship me!
**[23:40] Takeru**
Year of the cat?
**[23:41] Nya**
People born in the year of the cat are a
miracle seen once every million years!
**[23:44] Takeru**
So none exist in the human race yet.
**[23:46] Nya**

Morning, Takeru!
**[02:47] Takeru**
M-Morning.
**[02:48] Nya**
Breakfast will be ready soon!
**[02:50] Uri**
Yep, yep!
**[02:51] Takeru**
O-Okay.
**[02:52] Mo**
Oh, yes!
**[02:53] Piyo**
Ow! Hot! Hot!
**[02:56] Takeru**
What are those dying screams?
**[02:58] Nya**
I guess the heat's too low!
**[03:00] Nya**
Chinese food is all about
the strength of the flame!
**[03:02] Takeru**
Chinese food for breakfast?!
***SIGN*** Puff Puff
**[03:05] Takeru**
That's not Chinese food!
**[03:07] Nya**
A feast like this right in front of you,
and that's your initial reaction?
**[03:10] Nya**
Only you, Takeru.
**[03:11] Takeru**
Wait, put out the fire! Water! Water!
**[03:14] Uri**
Here you go.
**[03:16] Takeru**
Whoa, that smells really good!
**[03:18] Uri**
It's sesame oil.
**[03:20] Takeru**
Why'd you give me that?!
**[03:22] Takeru**
We have to put out the fire!
**[03:24] All**
Fire!
**[03:32] Takeru**
I might as well ask...
**[03:34] Takeru**
You know all these people, right?
**[03:36] Uri**
Yep, yep.
**[03:37] Key**
That smells awesome!
**[03:39] Inu**
Smells like a yakiniku place, huh?
**[03:41] Shima**
That flame was really goin' strong.
**[03:43] Dora**
I just love the aroma of sesame oil.
**[03:45] Shar**
Sesame oil and salt are the best.
**[03:47] Ura**
Salt and sesame oil go together perfectly.
**[03:50] Takeru**
Why are you plugging sesame oil so much?
**[03:53] Inu**
I'm hungry!
**[03:55] Key**
Yeah!
**[03:56] Takeru**
Okay, okay. I get it.
***SIGN*** Kitchen
**[04:00] King**

**[04:11] King**
Give it a try.
***SIGN*** Sesame Oil
**[04:13] All**
Let's eat!
**[04:21] Nya**
What's the matter, Takeru?
**[04:23] Takeru**
Oh, I thought if you were the Eto-shin,
**[04:25] Takeru**
there should be twelve of you...
**[04:28] Key**
How come you're acting like
you've never seen us before?
**[04:31] Takeru**
Huh?
**[04:31] Mo**
What? You and me have already met!
**[04:35] Inu**
You don't remember us?

***SIGN*** Losers

**[04:50] Takeru**
Rat, ox, tiger,

rabbit, dragon, snake...
**[04:54] Takeru**
Snake... Oh...
**[04:55] Mo**
He remembers now!
**[04:57] Mei**
And he stopped at the same place.
**[05:00] Uma**
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
It's because my name sounds bad!
**[05:04] Takeru**
This is some kind of trauma
for her, isn't it?
**[05:06] Uri**
Well, she's a horse (uma).
**[05:08] Takeru**
Uri-tan, you're on the team I
couldn't remember. You don't mind?
**[05:10] Uri**
Should I mind?
**[05:12] Nya**
He ignored it...
**[05:13] Takeru**
I see. You're the one who comes
up with the clever (umai) lines.
**[05:16] Uri**
Well, she's a horse!
**[05:18] Takeru**
Why do you keep pushing the horse thing?
**[05:20] Nya**
Just admit defeat.
**[05:23] Takeru**
So, by the way...
**[05:25] Takeru**
Why won't that Eto-shin come over here?
**[05:29] Uri**
Piyo-tan has the brain of a bird.
**[05:30] Uri**
She loses her memories after
walking three steps.
**[05:33] Uri**
When there's something she
doesn't want to forget,
**[05:35] Uri**
she tries not to move.
**[05:37] Takeru**
Um...
**[05:39] Takeru**
What doesn't she want to forget?
**[05:41] Mo**
Of course!
**[05:43] Mo**
It's her revenge on Nya-tan for
what she did to us earlier!
**[05:49] Piyo**
I'll never forgive that stupid cat!
**[05:51] Takeru**
That's a pretty nasty personality...
**[05:53] Uri**
Well, she's a bird!
**[05:56] Shima**
Chicken bones (torigara) and personality
(gara)! She got us good (ippon torareta)!
**[05:59] Shima**
Uh, aren't you gonna point out
that I'm a tiger (tora)?
**[06:03] Uri**
M-My ribs are broken...
**[06:06] Takeru**
Just from that?!
**[06:09] Nya**
I'm stuffed.
**[06:11] Nya**
Piyo-tan, you're still over there?
**[06:14] Nya**
Come in here already.
**[06:15] Piyo**
Shut up! You think I want to eat with you?!
**[06:18] Nya**
Don't say that.
There's enough for you, too.
**[06:22] Piyo**
Shut up, stupid cat!
**[06:23] Piyo**
Stupid, stupid!
**[06:25] Piyo**
Hey!
**[06:26] Piyo**
You shouldn't... throw... food...

Nya-tan's always teasing Piyo-tan...
**[06:58] Uri**
That is, freeing her from her hatred.
**[07:01] Takeru**
Wow.
**[07:02] Takeru**
So Uri-tan, are your ribs okay now?
**[07:04] Uri**
I'm just fine.
**[07:05] Uri**
But fragments of Piyo-tan's memories of
**[07:08] Uri**
being freed from hatred still
remain in her soul...
**[07:12] Uri**
So even if she forgets why,
**[07:15] Uri**
she always retains the feeling that she
just hates Nya-tan for some reason.
***SIGN*** Hiss~
**[07:18] Takeru**
That personality must be
pretty rough on her.
**[07:21] Uri**
It's not her personality.
**[07:22] Uri**
The roosters are one of the clans that
tend to hold on to negative emotions.
**[07:27] Takeru**
One of them? So there are
other clans like that?
**[07:30] Dora**
You ask quite shrewd questions.
**[07:33] Shima**
Well, you'll learn all that in time.
**[07:36] Piyo**
Hey! Stop it!
**[07:37] Piyo**
I'll turn you into yakitori!
**[07:40] Takeru**
Are the cats a clan that tend to be stupid?
**[07:43] Dora**
Not at all.
**[07:44] Dora**
Eto-musume of the cat clan are
gentle and quite strong.
***SIGN*** Teriyaki
**[07:48] Dora**
They're benevolent peace lovers

**[07:52] Uri**
Their combat ability far

**[07:54] Uri**
They're known as the strongest
of the Eto-musume.
**[08:00] Piyo**
Next time you tease me,
I won't let you off so easily.
**[08:03] Piyo**
Remember that!
**[08:05] Nya**
You don't even remember anything yourself.
You're in no position to say that.
**[08:09] Takeru**
She doesn't look like the
strongest of the Eto-musume.
**[08:12] Shima**
Nya-tan can't help that. She's got amnesia.
**[08:15] Usa**
What? Is that true?
**[08:18] Mo**
Oh.
**[08:19] Inu**
She does?
**[08:20] Key**
I never knew.
**[08:23] Takeru**
Amnesia?
**[08:25] Takeru**
Is that why she's trying to find herself
and decide on a character type?
**[08:27] Mei**
She's forgotten a lot of important things.
**[08:31] Mei**
Poor girl...
**[08:33] Uma**
I should be pitied far more, though!
**[08:37] Mei**
Yes, of course.
**[08:38] Mo**
Oh, no! I never knew she'd been
through something so tragic!
**[08:42] Mo**
If you want to cry,
**[08:43] Mo**
you should cry on my chest!
**[08:48] Uri**
Mo-tan sees Nya-tan simply as a female.
**[08:52] Takeru**
I see...
**[08:55] Nya**
**[08:58] Mo**
Oh! Please don't stimulate
my breasts so much!
**[09:02] Mo**
My milk... My milk...
**[09:05] Usa**
As a fellow Eto-shin,
**[09:07] Usa**
I feel a strong need to apologize for her.
**[09:09] Shar**
She never changes.
**[09:13] Dora**
Here.
**[09:15] Dora**
This is all more than
human logic can process.
**[09:18] Dora**
You must be tired.
**[09:20] Dora**
Rest your mind a bit.
**[09:22] Shima**
Where'd that come from?
**[09:23] Takeru**
Th-Thank you...
**[09:30] Takeru**
Isn't that...
**[09:31] Dora**
The source of the Eto-musume's
life force, Sol/Lull.
**[09:35] Dora**
The ultimate Sol/Lull, at that.
**[09:36] ?**
My, what fine Sol/Lull that is!
**[09:42] Dora**
You see?
**[09:43] Dora**
There aren't many humans who
possess Sol/Lull like this.
**[09:47] Shar**
No, there aren't.
**[09:49] Dora**
That makes him...
**[09:51] Dora**
Today's special offer!
**[09:52] Dora**
We'll start this Ultimate

Okay, I'll bid 152 yen!
**[10:02] Takeru**
They're starting a bidding war over me!
**[10:04] Uma**
Then I'll bid 153 yen!
**[10:05] Takeru**
And that's cheap!
**[10:06] InuKey**
155 yen!
**[10:09] Key**
I'm bidding 155 yen!
**[10:11] Inu**
No, I am!
**[10:13] Usa**
Then I'll bid 100 million.
**[10:15] Takeru**
Now it's incredibly high!
**[10:17] Mei**
Then I'll go with 200 million.
**[10:19] Usa**
250 million!
**[10:20] Shar**
700 million if a secondary prize is included.
**[10:22] Takeru**
Hang on! What kind of bidding war is this?!
**[10:25] Nya**
Stop!
**[10:27] Nya**
Takeru is not an object!
**[10:29] Nya**
You're all cruel!
**[10:32] Takeru**
Nya-tan...
**[10:38] Nya**
Got it.
**[10:39] Takeru**
She tricked me!
**[10:41] Takeru**
What exactly is Sol/Lull, anyway?
**[10:43] Dora**
Didn't I just tell you?
**[10:45] Dora**
It's the source of an
Eto-musume's life force.
**[10:47] Takeru**
But why does it come out of me?
**[10:50] Uri**
Sol/Lull is the embodiment
of proper human emotions.
**[10:51] [SONG] Text**
Proper Emotions
**[10:53] Uri**
It's a type of energy only humans possess.
**[10:55] Takeru**
"Proper" emotions?
**[10:58] Dora**
You know, every time you've felt grateful,
***SIGN*** Thank You
**[11:01] Dora**
Sol/Lull has appeared.
***SIGN*** Cat
**[11:06] Uri**
And when Sol/Lull collects in an
Eto-musume's soul, their Etotama,
**[11:10] Uri**
they transform from Adult Mode, the form
that allows them to exist in the human world,
**[11:14] Uri**
to the form that allows them to
**[11:16] Uri**
fight in the Eto world, Pretty Mode.
**[11:20] Takeru**
I see.
**[11:23] Nya**
Takeru, give me more!
**[11:26] Nya**
Give me more of yours!
**[11:29] Takeru**
Let go of me.
**[11:31] Mo**
If you're going to cling to a body,
**[11:34] Mo**
cling to mine!
**[11:35] Nya**
No!
**[11:37] Mo**
Oh, listen to you!
You're such a meaniehead!
**[11:40] Nya**
No! Takeru!
**[11:42] Uri**
That was a pretty
old-fashioned expression...
**[11:44] Takeru**
But why does Nya-tan want
that stuff so badly?
**[11:48] Shima**
Because...
**[11:49] Shima**
She's not an Eto-shin.
**[11:52] Shima**
The twelve of us Eto-shin
are divine messengers,
**[11:56] Shima**
so we obtain Sol/Lull through humans'
devotion without even doing anything.
**[12:00] Dora**
But the girls who haven't been
selected to be in the twelve
**[12:03] Dora**
have to gather Sol/Lull on their
own in order to transform.
**[12:33] Chu**
What low-quality Eto-musume
we have this time around.
***SIGN*** Eto-musume can take three forms.
Adult Mode is how they appear under normal circumstances,
Pretty Mode allows them to use Sol/Lull more easily,
and Natural Mode is their animal form.
***SIGN*** A divine ritual. It was once called the
Eto-shin Selection Festival, but is now called "ETM12"
as a shortened form of "Eto-musume 12."
**[13:02] Takeru**
Why are you making curry?
**[13:05] Shar**
To thank you for breakfast.
It's almost lunch time.
**[13:08] Shar**
But first...
**[13:13] Nya**
Takeru, give me Sol/Lull!
**[13:16] Nya**
I want yours, Takeru!
**[13:19] Takeru**
Grr.
**[13:20] Mo**
Oh!
**[13:21] Mo**
It's jealousy!
**[13:25] Mo**
If only my love could produce Sol/Lull...
**[13:28] Mo**
But all I can produce is milk!
**[13:30] Nya**
You've never produced milk!
**[13:32] Nya**
And if you did, I wouldn't want it!
**[13:34] Mo**
Oh...
**[13:35] Mo**
What could I give you to
**[13:38] Mo**
make you accept my love?
**[13:40] Nya**
There's nothing I'd take from you!
**[13:43] Nya**
Yes, there is!
***SIGN*** Ox
**[13:45] Nya**
Give me your Sol/Lull Seal, Mo-tan!
**[13:48] Mo**
Of course!
**[13:49] Mo**
If you can collect twelve Sol/Lull Seals,
**[13:52] Mo**
you'll become an Eto-shin.
**[13:54] Nya**
That's right! So hand it over!
**[13:56] Mo**
Okay!
**[13:58] Mo**
This tough, bossy Nya-tan is good, too!
**[14:01] Mo**
But...
**[14:02] Mo**
I can't just give it to you for free.
**[14:04] Nya**
The rules say there's no problem
with you giving it away for free.
**[14:07] Mo**
No, no.
**[14:09] Mo**
I want to grapple it out
**[14:11] Mo**
with you in a real battle!
**[14:14] Nya**
All right!
**[14:15] Nya**
Then we'll fight for your Sol/Lull Seal!
**[14:18] Mo**
Okay, Nya-tan!
**[14:21] Mo**
Then...
**[14:23] ---**
**[14:23] Mo**
Let the battle begin!

Give me your Sol/Lull too, Takeru!
**[15:08] Takeru**
I can't do it just like that...
**[15:10] Nya**
Just close your eyes, think of me,
**[15:12] Nya**
let the pleasant feeling
take over, and it'll come out!
**[15:14] Takeru**
No, it won't.
**[15:16] Nya**
It will! It will! It will!
**[15:17] Nya**
Come on! Let's do this thing!
**[15:20] Takeru**
You know, if you asked me whether I think the
**[15:22] Takeru**
way you're acting will inspire
any "proper" emotions...
**[15:24] Takeru**
It won't.
**[15:27] Uri**
It's okay, Nya-tan.
**[15:30] Uri**
Take this.
**[15:31] Nya**
What's that?
**[15:32] Uri**
This morning,
**[15:34] Uri**
when Takeru-san found out
you were making breakfast,
***SIGN*** Leave breakfast to me! Meow!
**[15:37] Uri**
his shy, happy gratitude
produced this Sol/Lull.
**[15:44] Nya**
All right!
**[15:46] Nya**
With this and the Sol/Lull I
got before, I've got enough!
**[15:49] Nya**
Thanks, Takeru!
**[15:53] Nya**
Etotama! Sol/Lull Charge!
**[15:55] Takeru**
S-Sure...
**[16:12] Nya**
Cat Eto-musume, Nya-tan!
**[16:21] Uri**
It looks like the time has come
when I must give an explanation.
**[16:24] Takeru**
What now?
**[16:25] Uri**
The Eto-shin Selection Festival,
held once every sixty years,
**[16:29] Uri**
where Eto-musume can attain the rank
of Eto-shin with their own fists...
***SIGN*** Eto-shin Selection Festival
**[16:31] Uri**
That's the ETM12!
**[16:34] Takeru**
ETM12 is the name of a festival, then?
**[16:37] Uri**
For Nya-tan to become an Eto-shin,
**[16:39] Uri**
she must defeat all twelve Eto-shin in
battle while the ETM12 is in progress
**[16:42] Uri**
and obtain all of their Sol/Lull Seals.
**[16:49] Nya**
That line was too long.
**[16:50] Takeru**
You were waiting for her?
**[16:51] Nya**
Okay, let's decide the battle rules!
**[16:54] Mo**
We'll play a game of tag.
**[16:55] Mo**
If you can protect a certain item
for three minutes, you win,
**[16:59] Mo**
and I'll give you my Sol/Lull Seal.
**[17:01] Nya**
Yay! Huh?
**[17:03] Nya**
A certain item?
**[17:04] Mo**
That would be...
**[17:06] Mo**
Your socks!
**[17:08] Nya**
Wh-Wh-What kind of gross rule is that?!
**[17:10] Nya**
No, no, no!
**[17:11] Nya**
I've been wearing these for three days!
**[17:14] Mo**
Used socks are
**[17:16] Mo**
the best!
**[17:19] Nya**
I was kidding! I was kidding!
I change them every day!
**[17:25] Nya**
It hurt you that much?
**[17:27] Mo**
But that's no problem.
**[17:29] Mo**
As long as they're socks you've worn,
**[17:32] Mo**
that's good enough!
**[17:34] Mo**
I'm gonna throw all I've got
into taking your socks!
**[17:38] Mo**
Let's start!
**[17:48] Nya**
If that's how it is, I'll show you!
**[17:52] Mo**
Where'd you go?
**[17:54] Nya**
All I have to do is run away and I win!
**[18:01] Uri**
You can do it, Nya-tan!
**[18:02] Uri**
Go for twelve wins and no losses!
**[18:05] Takeru**
No losses? Didn't she lose
to Dora-tan the other day?
**[18:08] Dora**
Oh, that battle...
**[18:10] Uri**
That was just a skit.
**[18:12] Takeru**
What happens if Nya-tan loses
in an official battle?
**[18:15] Uri**
In that case, she'd lose her Sol/Lull Seal
**[18:18] Uri**
and lose the ability to
transform into Pretty Mode.
**[18:20] Shima**
And she'd lose the right
to participate in ETM12.
**[18:24] Uri**
By the way, we Eto-shin can accept
challenges from Eto-musume
***SIGN*** Eto-shin
**[18:28] Uri**
and fight as many times as we want.
**[18:31] Dora**
How will she fight Mo-tan?
**[18:34] Takeru**
Is she strong?
**[18:36] Uri**
Her personality's a little weird,
**[18:37] Uri**
but she's one of the five
strongest Eto-shin.
**[18:41] Mo**
Nya-tan! Where are you?
**[18:44] ---**
Sneak, sneak, sneak...
**[18:46] Nya**
I'm clever, so I'll just
stay here and hide.
**[18:51] Mo**
I found you!
**[18:57] Nya**
H-How did you find me?!
**[18:59] Mo**
No matter where you are,
**[19:00] Mo**
I can find you by your smell!
**[19:03] Mo**
Now give me those nice,
warm socks, please!
**[19:06] Nya**
I refuse!
**[19:10] Mo**
Oh! Wait for me!
**[19:13] Mo**
Nya-tan!
**[19:15] Nya**
*This is bad...*
**[19:18] Nya**
*I'm gonna lose!*
**[19:28] Mo**
Nya-tan, you should give up.
**[19:31] Nya**
Mo-tan...
**[19:32] Nya**
I have no choice.
**[19:34] Nya**
I'll accept your love.
**[19:36] Mo**
There's the dere!
**[19:39] Mo**
Here we go!
**[19:44] Nya**
I will join the Chinese zodiac!

The battle is over.
**[20:39] Nya**
I won!
**[20:40] Nya**
I really won!
**[20:42] Shar**
I never expected...
**[20:44] Usa**
Who knew she was that strong?
**[20:46] Mei**
Amazing...
**[20:47] Nya**
That's right!
**[20:49] Nya**
I'm a cat who can do it when she tries!
**[20:52] Nya**
Be more surprised!
**[20:54] Nya**
Shower me with praise!
**[20:56] Inu**
Mo-tan's not waking up.
**[20:58] Mei**
Looks like she's used up all her Sol/Lull.
**[21:02] Inu**
Isn't that a really big deal?
**[21:03] Nya**
Not as big a deal as me!
**[21:05] Dora**
She beat Mo-tan with just
that amount of Sol/Lull?
**[21:08] Nya**
Yes, *I* did!
**[21:10] Takeru**
Wh-What?
**[21:11] Shima**
I don't know why,
**[21:13] Shima**
but you seem to be a battery
loaded with Sol/Lull.
**[21:17] Mai**
A battery... I see.
**[21:18] InuKey**
Battery! Battery!
**[21:20] Shar**
A battery.
**[21:21] Takeru**
Don't make a face as if that makes sense!
**[21:23] Nya**
Forget about that!
**[21:25] Nya**
Praise me!
**[21:26] Takeru**
Okay, I get it! Stop thrashing around!
**[21:29] Nya**
By the way, it stinks like curry!
**[21:30] Shar**
The curry is not to blame.
**[21:32] Uri**
That's right. The curry did nothing wrong.
**[21:34] Uma**
Lively around here, isn't it?
**[21:36] Piyo**
I'd say it's just noisy.
**[21:40] Piyo**
By the way, is it true that Chu-tan
**[21:42] Piyo**
defeated all of the other
**[21:45] Piyo**
107 Eto-musume?
**[21:48] Uma**
Yes, it seems so.

What a nice morning!

Oh, Takeru! Good morning!

**[02:39] Nya**
I had Dora-tan build it while
**[02:41] Nya**
she was fixing your house
between episodes 1 and 2.
**[02:44] Dora**
It's my apology for destroying
your house with my Sol/Lull.
**[02:48] Takeru**
That doesn't work as an apology at all.
**[02:50] Uri**
By the way, this is where I'm living now.
**[02:53] Takeru**
The basement?!
**[02:54] Dora**
It's a bonus apology.
**[02:55] Takeru**
I didn't need a bonus.
**[02:57] Dora**
They aren't taking away
from your living space.
**[03:00] Dora**
What's the problem?
**[03:01] Takeru**
That's true, but...
**[03:03] Dora**
You didn't say anything
about it in episode 2,
**[03:06] Dora**
so I thought it was okay...
**[03:08] Nya**
Right, right.
**[03:09] Takeru**
Wait, you keep saying
"episode 1" and "episode 2."
**[03:11] Takeru**
What are you talking about?
**[03:12] Dora**
Oh, don't worry about that.
**[03:14] Nya**
Right, right.
***SIGN*** Leave breakfast

**[03:16] Nya**
Come to think of it, you haven't

gone out to the yard since
the house was fixed.

You're right, I haven't...
**[03:30] Takeru**
Well, all right.
**[03:32] Nya**
Meow yeah!

Now that I have your approval, Takeru,

I'm ready to buy furniture for my new home!

Fidget, fidget...
**[03:43] Takeru**
Can't you have Dora-tan
make that for you, too?
**[03:46] Nya**
Fidget, fidget...
**[03:47] Dora**
Wouldn't it be more of a fun event if
**[03:48] Dora**
the two of you shopped together?
**[03:49] Nya**
Fidget, fidget...

It's an activity for IRL happiness.

I don't think that would be fun for me.

Aww!

I want to shop with you, Takeru!

Not on the spur of the moment like this...

Th-That's an emergency!

Hurry! Quickly! We have to
go buy some right now!
**[04:17] Takeru**
You're really psyched up for this...
**[04:19] Uri**
Sesame oil is the treasure of humankind.
**[04:22] Takeru**
You're not a human.
**[04:25] Uri**
In the face of sesame oil,
**[04:26] Uri**
such details are no more
significant than a sesame seed!

You've got nothing but

You're not listening...

I like this one! I'll take it!
**[04:57] Takeru**
It's pretty expensive. Is that okay?
**[05:00] Nya**
That's no problem!

Despite appearances,
I love keeping things clean.

I'm totally confident that I can

No, I mean, can you afford it?

Yep, yep, yep, yep.

**[12:02] Takeru**
Chu-tan?
**[12:02] Uri**
She's the rat Eto-shin.
**[12:05] Chu**
I never dreamed you'd be reincarnated, cat.
**[12:14] Dora**
Nya-tan, are you all right?
**[12:15] Shima**
What's the big idea, Chu-tan?
**[12:17] Chu**
The ETM12 is in progress.
**[12:20] Chu**
Which Eto-musume I battle
with is my choice.
**[12:24] Dora**
But it's meaningless for an
Eto-shin to extend a challenge!
**[12:27] Dora**
You know that!
**[12:34] Chu**
Step aside.
**[12:35] Chu**
I cannot allow the cat clan to exist.
**[12:40] Chu**
I will destroy her.
**[12:42] Nya**
Why are you so hostile toward me?
**[12:46] Chu**
Wh-Why?
**[12:51] Chu**
You don't remember?
**[12:52] Nya**
No! But I bet it's a stupid reason!
**[12:55] Nya**
Like I ate your pudding or something!
**[12:58] Uri**
No, I'm quite sure that's not the reason.
**[13:01] Nya**
Really?!
**[13:06] Shima**
You haven't forgotten the
Zodiac Precept that says
**[13:10] Shima**
we must not harm human beings, have you?!
**[13:16] Chu**
I won't kill him.
**[13:18] Chu**
I will only destroy the cat clan.
**[13:22] Chu**
I'll mutilate you...
**[13:23] Chu**
Mutilate you...
**[13:24] Chu**
Mutilate you...

Mutilate you...

Mutilate you...

Mutilate you!

Muscle-ate you!

Are you that oblivious?!
***SIGN*** Menacing
**[13:33] Takeru**
That one was Nya-tan's fault.
**[13:35] Shima**
Listen to me! You can't fight
with Chu-tan, no matter what!
**[13:39] Dora**
It appears you don't remember,
but she's a dangerous Eto-shin.
**[13:43] Shima**
Let's back off this time.
Run while we hold her off—
**[13:47] Chu**
Hear me, cat.
**[13:49] Chu**
If you can defeat me,
**[13:51] Chu**
I'll make you an Eto-shin immediately.
**[13:53] Nya**
Really?!
**[13:54] Chu**
I'll give you my place.
**[13:57] Shima**
Wait!
**[13:57] Nya**
It's my lucky day!
**[13:58] Dora**
Nya-tan!
**[13:59] Nya**
Chu-tan, battle me right now!
**[14:04] Chu**
Zodiac Precept No. 40...
**[14:06] Chu**
When an Eto-musume invokes her
right to challenge an Eto-shin,
**[14:10] Chu**
at the moment she accepts the
terms presented by the Eto-shin,
**[14:13] Chu**
the battle for the Sol/Lull Seal
will automatically begin.
**[14:17] Dora**
Oh, no!
**[14:19] Chu**
The battle is on!

Thanks.
**[14:50] Nya**
But I always want to do everything
in my power to achieve my dream!
**[14:54] Nya**
So, since I'm going to battle,
**[14:56] Nya**
give me some of your awesome
Sol/Lull, Takeru!
**[14:58] Takeru**
Nya-tan, there's something you
need to do, isn't there?
**[15:02] Nya**
Meow?
**[15:03] Takeru**
You haven't apologized
to them yet, have you?
**[15:12] Nya**
I said a lot of selfish things today.
**[15:14] Nya**
I'm sorry!
**[15:17] Takeru**
Also...
**[15:19] Takeru**
I had fun shopping today.

***SIGN*** Cat

Cat Eto-musume, Nya-tan!
**[16:03] Nya**
What are your rules?
**[16:06] Chu**
We fight until
**[16:07] Chu**
one of us is destroyed.
**[16:09] Dora**
What?!
**[16:10] Takeru**
Does she mean until one dies?
**[16:12] Shima**
That's a hell of a rule she set.
**[16:15] Uri**
Nya-tan...
**[16:21] Chu**
I will wipe you out!
**[17:07] Takeru**
She's ruthless...
**[17:09] Takeru**
Why does Chu-tan hate Nya-tan so much?
**[17:12] Uri**
We don't know, either.
**[17:15] Uri**
It's a fate that has bound rats
and cats for thousands of years.
**[17:19] Takeru**
Fate? You mean that story about
the rat tricking the cat
**[17:22] Takeru**
so it couldn't participate in the
gods' race to join the zodiac?
**[17:25] Dora**
It's true that the ETM12 of
**[17:28] Dora**
2,000 years ago was a footrace.
**[17:31] Shima**
And the twelve Zodiac gods chosen
then were the current twelve.
**[17:35] Takeru**
But that means the cat should hate the rat.
**[17:38] Takeru**
Why does Chu-tan hate Nya-tan?
**[17:42] Takeru**
And why did the rat trick the
cat in the first place?
**[17:48] Chu**
Do you remember now, cat Eto-musume?
**[17:51] Nya**
I told you, I don't know
what you're talking about!
**[18:03] Chu**
I will destroy you! Destroy you!
**[18:04] Chu**
Destroy you! Destroy you!
Destroy you! Destroy you!
**[18:07] Chu**
I will destroy you!
**[18:11] Takeru**
Is she going to be okay?
**[18:13] Uri**
Nya-tan...
**[18:16] Chu**
Tell me! How were you reincarnated?
**[18:20] Nya**
Meow?
**[18:21] Chu**
I asked you how!
**[18:33] Nya**
This is bad...
**[18:36] Nya**
If that's how it is, I'll settle this
**[18:39] Nya**
in one blow!

**[19:21] Takeru**
Uri-tan?
**[19:24] Dora**
What are you trying to do?
**[19:27] Uri**
I'm going to intervene in the battle.
**[19:29] Dora**
Intervene?!
**[19:30] Shima**
Even if you're an Eto-shin, doin'
somethin' that crazy will mess you up!
**[19:33] Uri**
Still!
**[19:35] Uri**
Nya-tan is my friend.
**[19:37] Uri**
I can't just keep watching this!

That's the first time an Eto-shin's

ever intervened in a battle.

We're retreating!

A cow fully ripened by her love
for her honey is called "beef!"

Shut up, pervert!

What do you mean?
**[04:15] Mo**
Yes! This isn't so bad at all!
**[04:19] Takeru**
You turned into light and died!
**[04:21] Takeru**
Was your defeat by Chu-tan a lie?!
**[04:23] Nya**
It wasn't a lie.
**[04:24] Uri**
It's true that I died.
**[04:26] Nya**
But she was reincarnated.
**[04:28] Takeru**
Reincarnated?
**[04:29] Uri**
Yes. Even if we die,
**[04:32] Uri**
we reincarnate after a
certain amount of time.
**[04:35] Takeru**
What kind of system is that?
**[04:37] Nya**
Exactly that kind of system, apparently.

"Apparently"? Did you forget
that too, Nya-tan?
**[04:44] Piyo**
Stupid cat...

Uri-tan, you reincarnated
three days ago, right?
**[04:47] Usa**
You didn't go straight
to Takeru-san's house?
**[04:51] Uri**
I got a lecture from the
**[04:53] Uri**
ETM12 Executive Committee about
intervening in a battle first.
**[04:57] Uri**
I'm sorry I worried you, Takeru-san.
**[05:01] Takeru**
W-Well, as long as you're alive...
**[05:03] Takeru**
But you!
**[05:04] Takeru**
If you knew, you should've
told me, Nya-tan!
**[05:07] Nya**
I only found out yesterday myself.
**[05:09] Nya**
I just forgot to tell you.
**[05:10] Takeru**
Th-Then is that why you
were nicer than usual today
**[05:14] Takeru**
and kept trying to cheer me up?
**[05:15] Mo**
Oh! Nya-tan, give your kindness to me, too!
**[05:19] Nya**
Good thing I tied that pervert up first.
**[05:22] Uri**
So Nya-tan was a soothing type
of character while I was gone?
**[05:26] Nya**
Was I?

You're right. Nya-tan is lost on

That's depressing!

A character that cannot be explained
might as well not exist!

With such an unstable character,

even if you join the zodiac,
no one will remember you.

initiating a battle with a Sol/Lull Seal at stake.
***SIGN***
The Eto-shin Selection Festival (ETM12)
is held for a sixty day period every sixty years
in accordance with the sexagenary cycle,
with the goal of revitalizing Sol/Lull in the
gods' realm, the Eto realm, and the human realm.

And so...
***SIGN*** Usa-tan Productions
The Nya-tan Improvement
Project Proposal
**[10:56] Usa**
I've prepared a proposal for the
improvement of Nya-tan's character!
**[11:00] Nya**
Uh... Who do you think you are?
**[11:03] Usa**
Forgive my delayed introduction.
***SIGN*** Usa-tan Company, CEO
Usa-tan Productions, Producer
Usa-tan Moving Center, Inc., Representative
Usa-tan Visual Effects, Inc., Managing Director
Usa-tan Books, Inc., Managing Director
UTC Electronics, President
UTC Foods, Inc., Representative Director
**[11:05] Usa**
I'm the CEO of Usa-tan Company,
**[11:08] Usa**
producer of Usa-tan Productions,
and much more.
**[11:12] Nya**
O-Oh... Well, thank you.
**[11:14] Nya**
Wait, what does that mean?!
**[11:16] Usa**
I am a professional producer,
or Usa P.P. for short!
**[11:20] Nya**
Seriously?
**[11:21] Usa**
Any living creature, in my hands,
**[11:24] Usa**
is freed from lack of personality!
**[11:25] Usa**
I'll produce you perfectly!
***SIGN*** UTC will continue to respond to its customers' voices.
***SIGN*** No 1. In Customer Satisfaction
**[11:28] InuKey**
Wow!
**[11:29] Inu**
I didn't know Usa-tan was so amazing!
**[11:32] Key**
So that's how she was able to point
out our weaknesses so accurately!
**[11:35] Takeru**
Wow, those two are so pure...
**[11:35] Inu**
So that's why! Usa P.P. is so cool!
**[11:38] Nya**
This all smells way too fishy.
**[11:38] Key**
Yeah! Usa P.P. is so cool!
**[11:39] Uri**
I wonder if she realizes that
abbreviation sounds like
**[11:40] Inu**
Too cool!
**[11:41] Inu**
Too awesome!
**[11:42] Key**
I wanna be like P.P.!
**[11:42] Uri**
it's meant to censor a word
we can't say on air...
**[11:43] Inu**
Me, too!
**[11:44] Mo**
But I detect an erotic sensibility to this
**[11:46] Key**
So cool!
**[11:46] Mo**
frequent use of "P."
**[11:47] Inu**
So cool!
**[11:48] Takeru**
Anyway, is that helicopter okay?
**[11:51] Usa**
Oh, you didn't notice? It was CG.
**[11:54] All**
Seriously?!
**[11:55] Takeru**
But it seemed so real!
**[11:57] Usa**
We used a 4D hologram system
**[11:59] Usa**
along with our mastery
of stereophonic sound.
**[12:01] Usa**
And to achieve further realism,
**[12:03] Usa**
we generated three-dimensional
vibration using a giant air blower
**[12:06] Usa**
to perfectly recreate a crash scene.
**[12:08] Takeru**
My house was modified without my knowledge?!
**[12:11] Usa**
Now, that's enough idle chatter.
***SIGN*** Investigating the Possibility of a Cat Joining the Chinese Zodiac Through ETM12
**[12:17] Usa**
Firstly, I've investigated the
possibility of a cat joining
**[12:21] Usa**
the Chinese zodiac through ETM12.
**[12:25] Nya**
What?!
**[12:26] Takeru**
Oh, she's interested.
**[12:28] Nya**
What was the result?
***SIGN*** Wants a Cat
**[12:31] Usa**
These three want a cat
in the Chinese zodiac.
**[12:34] [SONG] Text**
Master of Spiritual Power, Dora-tan
**[12:34] Usa**
These are the three masters
**[12:35] [SONG] Text**
Master of Strength and
Techniques, Shima-tan
**[12:35] Usa**
who build Nya-tan's spiritual power,
teach her strength and techniques,
**[12:37] [SONG] Text**
Master of Wisdom, Uri-tan
**[12:38] Usa**
and impart wisdom to her.
**[12:41] Takeru**
Uri-tan, you're Nya-tan's master, too?
**[12:43] Uri**
Yep, yep.
**[12:44] Usa**
And Chu-tan, who resents Nya-tan,
**[12:44] [SONG] Text**
The Rat (Zi Shu), Chu-tan
***SIGN*** Doesn't Want a Cat
**[12:47] Usa**
is one of the four members who
don't want a cat in the zodiac.
**[12:50] Usa**
And these are the ones who don't
care whether a cat joins or not.
***SIGN*** Don't Care Either Way
**[12:53] Usa**
They don't count.
**[12:54] Key**
That's true...
**[12:56] Inu**
When you put it that way, I guess we don't.
**[12:57] [SONG] Text**
The Ox (Chou Niu), Mo-tan
**[12:58] Usa**
This one is too perverted to be counted.
**[13:00] Mo**
Oh, my God!
**[13:02] Usa**
So, with a count of three against four,
**[13:04] Usa**
Nya-tan cannot join the
Chinese zodiac. The end.
**[13:08] Nya**
What kind of half-baked
investigation is that?!
**[13:10] Usa**
Therefore,
**[13:11] Usa**
I have drawn up a plan to produce
you so that your character
**[13:15] Usa**
will stand out even if
you're not in the zodiac.
**[13:18] Nya**
Oh, really? You did?
**[13:20] Takeru**
She's being toyed with.
**[13:23] Usa**
With this plan, you'll become Neo Nya-tan.
**[13:27] Nya**
Neo... Nya-tan...
**[13:29] Usa**
Don't be proud.
**[13:30] Usa**
Leave everything to Usa P.P.
**[13:35] Usa**
Usa P P P P P P P...
**[13:39] Takeru**
She's obviously using mind control!
**[13:41] Mo**
No!
**[13:42] Mo**
Wake up, Nya-tan!
**[13:46] Nya**
What was I just...
**[13:49] Usa**
I almost had her...
**[13:50] Mo**
Nya-tan... Nya-tan...
**[13:50] Key**
Usa P.P., us next!
**[13:52] Inu**
Produce us!
**[13:54] Usa**
What?
**[13:55] Inu**
Show us what a pro can do!
**[13:56] Key**
I'll work hard!
**[14:02] Usa**
My producer's soul is trembling!
**[14:05] Usa**
P.P. Beam!
**[14:17] Usa**
Production complete.
**[14:19] Usa**
I've given you two the characters
of long-lost twin boys.
**[14:24] Uri**
She used the dog and monkey's overlapping
personalities to make them twins! Yep, yep!
**[14:29] Key**
So it's okay...
**[14:31] Inu**
...that we overlap!
**[14:35] Usa**
I turn your weaknesses into strengths.
**[14:37] Usa**
That's the true value of Usa P.P.!
**[14:41] Mo**
Bravo!
**[14:44] Nya**
I'm in!
**[14:45] Nya**
I'll take that proposal of yours!
**[14:48] Usa**
Let's see... In that case...
**[14:51] Usa**
I'll need you to pay the 100
million yen fee in advance.
**[14:53] Nya**
Why 100 million?!
***SIGN*** Solo Debut Initial Costs
**[14:54] Usa**
We start with the initial costs for your
solo debut after determining your character,

***SIGN*** Yacht Rental Cost First Tuna Auction Overhead Costs

**[15:06] Usa**
Production by Usa P.P. requires
the appropriate funding.
**[15:10] Nya**
That's brutal! And after
you got me all motivated!
**[15:13] Nya**
You worked Key-tan and Inu-tan over
completely and didn't charge a thing!
**[15:17] Usa**
They are fellow Zodiac members.
You're only an Eto-musume.
***SIGN*** Eto-shin
***SIGN*** Eto-musume
**[15:21] Usa**
A difference in treatment
is only to be expected.
**[15:26] Nya**
Then I challenge you to a battle!
**[15:28] Nya**
If I win, you'll produce me for free!
**[15:31] Nya**
And you'll give me your Sol/Lull Seal, too!
**[15:34] Usa**
That sounds interesting.
**[15:37] Usa**
Then...
**[15:38] Usa**
Let us begin the battle!
**[15:39] [SONG] Text**
Approved
**[15:41] Usa**
Eto-tama! Sol/Lull Charge!
***SIGN*** Rabbit
**[15:59] Usa**
Rabbit Eto-shin, Usa-tan!
**[16:07] Nya**
What the heck?!
**[16:08] Usa**
You look disgraceful.
**[16:19] Nya**
Choose your rules!
**[16:20] Usa**
Now, now. Would you like some tea?
**[16:22] Nya**
Thanks.
**[16:25] Nya**
Wait, no!
**[16:28] Nya**
Fight me!
**[16:31] Usa**
"Look that way."
**[16:33] Usa**
We will play three times.
**[16:35] Nya**
Okay.
**[16:36] Usa**
If you beat me even once,
**[16:38] Usa**
I'll give you my Sol/Lull Seal...
**[16:43] Usa**
And I'll produce you...
**[16:46] Usa**
For free!
**[16:53] Uri**
She may have a bit of a disadvantage
against that rule.
**[16:56] Takeru**
She's been following
**[16:58] Takeru**
Usa-tan's finger this whole time...
**[17:00] Usa**
Time for round one!
**[17:04] Nya**
B-Bring it on!
**[17:05] Usa**
Rock, paper, scissors!
**[17:12] Usa**
Look...
**[17:15] Takeru**
She shut her eyes!
**[17:16] Uri**
That's impressive, for Nya-tan!
**[17:18] Usa**
...that way!
**[17:20] Nya**
It worked!
**[17:21] Usa**
Time Stop!
**[17:28] Nya**
What did you do?!
**[17:30] Usa**
Looks like I've won the first round.
**[17:33] Takeru**
Didn't Usa-tan say something
really clearly just now?
**[17:36] Uri**
Yep, yep.
**[17:37] Mo**
Oh! Fantastic!
**[17:38] Usa**
Time for the second round.
**[17:40] Usa**
Rock, paper, scissors!
**[17:44] Usa**
Look...
**[17:46] Nya**
That thing's totally suspicious!
**[17:50] Nya**
Time Stop!
**[17:55] Usa**
Silly. Did you think time would stop?
**[18:00] Usa**
This is your last chance, Nya-tan.
**[18:04] Uri**
She lost the second round, too.
**[18:06] Takeru**
That clock doesn't stop time?
**[18:08] Uri**
It's very curious...
**[18:10] Uri**
I know! Let's find out!
**[18:12] Takeru**
How?
**[18:13] Uri**
We'll rewind it and watch
it frame-by-frame.
**[18:15] Uri**
You can do that?
**[18:17] Uri**
This is the first round.
**[18:19] Usa**
*Rock...*
**[18:22] Usa**
*Paper...*
**[18:25] Usa**
*Scissors!*
**[18:29] Uri**
She saw how Nya-tan's fingers
were going to move!
**[18:31] Uri**
The ultimate delayed-play foul!
**[18:33] Takeru**
Wow...
**[18:34] Uri**
That's Usa-tan's super high speed power.
**[18:36] Takeru**
You knew about it?
**[18:37] Uri**
No, this is my first time learning of it.
**[18:41] Uri**
And next is the "look that way" moment.
**[18:45] Usa**
Time...
**[18:47] Usa**
Stop!
**[18:51] Usa**
That was forceful!
**[18:53] Uri**
It appeared she had plenty
of time to do it.
**[18:55] Takeru**
She got a lot done in that time!
**[18:59] Uri**
Incredible.
**[19:01] Uri**
This is something only Usa-tan,
**[19:03] Uri**
with her super high speed power, could do.
**[19:05] Takeru**
Nya-tan's at a serious disadvantage now.
**[19:07] Takeru**
What can she do?
**[19:08] Uri**
Yes...
**[19:10] Uri**
Her only hope is to have
fortune on her side.
**[19:12] Takeru**
No way...
**[19:14] Usa**
All right, for better or worse,
**[19:16] Usa**
it's time for the last round!
**[19:20] Usa**
Rock...
**[19:23] Usa**
Paper...
**[19:23] Nya**
I'm taking hold of my fortune!
**[19:30] Nya**
Me-ow!
**[19:33] Nya**
And then...
**[19:36] Nya**
Look...
**[19:38] Nya**
That way!
**[19:39] Nya**
That way!
**[19:41] Nya**
That way!
***SIGN*** Rabbit
**[19:58] Nya**
Usa-tan's Sol/Lull Seal...
**[20:02] Nya**
...is mine!
**[20:05] Voice**
*Battle is over.*
**[20:05] Uri**
That was amazing, Nya-tan!
**[20:07] Voice**
*Please shut down and start again.*
**[20:07] Mo**
How exciting!
**[20:10] Nya**
I did it!
**[20:13] Nya**
I took hold of my fortune!
**[20:16] Takeru**
But why'd you grab Usa-tan's
foot like that?
**[20:19] Nya**
It's a rabbit's foot.
**[20:20] Takeru**
Rabbit's foot? Like this?
**[20:22] Uri**
It's an accessory that humans have
**[20:24] Uri**
carried for good luck since ancient times.
**[20:28] Usa**
I was careless...
**[20:30] Mo**
So your feet are your erogenous
zone, eh, Usa-tan?
**[20:33] Usa**
Wh-What are you saying?!
**[20:35] Mo**
It just hit me.
**[20:38] Mo**
That was erotic ecstasy in
**[20:40] Mo**
your face and voice!
**[20:45] Uri**
I get it. Usa-tan was
squirming as she lost.
**[20:48] Takeru**
I don't know if you'd call
that good fortune or not...
**[20:50] Nya**
Anyway, I'm one more step
closer to the zodiac!
**[20:53] Nya**
Now, go ahead and produce me for free!
**[20:56] Nya**
For free!
**[20:58] Usa**
I suppose I'll have to.
**[21:00] Usa**
Here you go, then.

Since you're not an Eto-shin,
**[21:14] Usa**
this is just a part of what you must do
before you can solidify your character.
**[21:18] Nya**
What the heck?!
**[21:19] Usa**
Only after you complete basic strength
training and lifestyle improvement
**[21:22] Usa**
will you be ready to begin
production by Usa P.P.
**[21:26] Nya**
That's impossible.
**[21:28] Mo**
Yes!
***SIGN*** Ah!

I won't let you escape.

Smells great!
**[02:32] Someone**
It looks so good!
**[02:41] Key**
Shar-tan's special curry is almost ready!
**[02:44] Inu**
Yeah!
**[02:45] Uri**
By the way, Key-tan, Inu-tan,
**[02:47] Uri**
how do you like living at Takeru-san's place?
**[02:50] Key**
It's super nice!
**[02:51] Key**
I mean, it comes with meals,
baths, and even Sol/Lull!
**[02:54] Inu**
I think my shoulders even feel less stiff!
**[02:56] Uri**
Takeru-san's Sol/Lull
**[02:58] Uri**
permeates through the floor and walls.
**[03:01] Uri**
It's like far-infrared light therapy.
**[03:03] Inu**
Takeru's amazing!
**[03:05] Mei**
It really is the ultimate Sol/Lull.
**[03:08] Nya**
Nyummy!
**[03:10] Nya**
Curry really piques my appetite!
**[03:13] Nya**
I feel like it's missing something, though.
**[03:15] Uri**
Really?
***SIGN*** Sesame Oil
**[03:17] Uri**
Then I'll add this.
**[03:18] Usa**
Stop!
**[03:19] Uma**
Don't put in sesame oil!
**[03:21] Piyo**
You know it'll clash with the curry spices!
**[03:25] Uri**
Then what should I put in?
**[03:27] Mei**
It just so happens I have a secret
ingredient that should match curry well.
**[03:31] Mo**
What?
**[03:32] Nya**
A mysterious liquid?
**[03:34] Mei**
It's not mysterious.
**[03:35] Mei**
It's a spice I made by
mixing Sol/Lull extracts.
**[03:39] Nya**
Sol/Lull extract?! Give it
to me! Give it all to me!
**[03:41] Mei**
Oh, I can't do that.
**[03:43] Mei**
I made it just for this curry.
**[03:47] Nya**
Just a tiny bit, then!
***SIGN*** Meow
**[03:48] Nya**
Give me some Sol/Lull!
***SIGN*** Meow
***SIGN*** Grr...
***SIGN*** Grr...
**[03:52] Mei**
Nope. Making that face won't change my mind.
**[03:55] Key**
How are you not annoyed, Mei-tan?
**[03:57] Mei**
Huh?
**[03:58] Uri**
"Angel in white" certainly
is a fitting nickname.
**[04:01] Uri**
Though she's a god, not an angel.
**[04:02] Nya**
Found an opening!
**[04:07] Mo**
Oh, no! The curry's turning
a fantastic color!
**[04:09] Uma**
It doesn't look like we can eat that.
**[04:12] Mei**
It's all right.
**[04:13] Mei**
All she added is a spice that's essential
for us gods to maintain good health.
**[04:18] Mei**
It's health-fortification curry.
**[04:21] Nya**
It's the Sol/Lull that matters here!
**[04:23] Nya**
All that precious Sol/Lull is gone now!
**[04:26] Mei**
Sol/Lull?
**[04:27] Mei**
I can get more of that right now.
**[04:31] Nya**
You didn't even do anything,
and look at all that Sol/Lull!
**[04:35] Uri**
That's what the zodiac gods can do.
**[04:37] Nya**
Lucky! I wish I could just go "hee-hee"
**[04:39] Nya**
and automatically soak up
all the Sol/Lull I want!
**[04:42] Key**
If you want Sol/Lull,
can't you just get it from Takeru?
**[04:47] Nya**
Takeru hasn't put out much Sol/Lull since
**[04:50] Nya**
Uri-tan's reincarnation incident.
**[04:51] Uri**
He's at a highly mistrustful age.
**[04:53] Piyo**
You got what you deserved, stupid cat.
**[04:57] Nya**
I wonder if Takeru's still sleeping.
**[04:59] Uri**
Now that you mention it,
he hasn't come down yet.
**[05:02] Nya**
All right! I'll wake him up and squeeze
out his first Sol/Lull of the morning!
**[05:05] Nya**
Meow, meow, meow!
**[05:07] Uma**
And that's why she can't
get any Sol/Lull from him.
**[05:13] Nya**
Takeru!
**[05:15] Nya**
Good morning!
**[05:16] Nya**
Wake up, Takeru!
**[05:19] Nya**
This is...
**[05:20] Nya**
*Takeru is finally becoming*
**[05:22] Nya**
*aware of me as a woman!*
**[05:25] Nya**
*It's okay, Takeru.*
**[05:27] Nya**
*Give me all the Sol/Lull you like...*
**[05:32] ---**
Smooch.
**[05:35] Nya**
Ow, hot!
**[05:38] Nya**
Takeru?
**[05:50] Nya**
Well? What's wrong with Takeru?
**[05:53] Mei**
He has a cold.
**[05:54] Nya**
A cold? But he looks really miserable.
**[05:57] Nya**
It's only a cold?
**[05:58] Mei**
I'll figure out the exact
cause and make some medicine.
**[06:09] Nya**
What's that?
**[06:15] All**
Wha— Wha—
**[06:17] All**
What is this?!
**[06:22] Nya**
Everyone's in swimsuits for some reason!
**[06:24] Nya**
We're suddenly heading
into a swimsuit episode!
**[06:26] Mei**
Oh, my...
**[06:29] Nya**
Again?!
**[06:31] All**
Wha— Wha—
**[06:33] All**
What is this?!
**[06:39] Nya**
There's no bath,
but they're all in bath towels!
**[06:41] Nya**
It's going from a swimsuit episode
to a hot spring episode now!
**[06:45] Mei**
His Sol/Lull isn't in very good shape.
**[06:49] Dora**
I understand.
**[06:50] Dora**
The Sol/Lull of the young man down with a cold
**[06:52] Dora**
is being emitted regardless of his will.
**[06:56] Mei**
Yes... And the Sol/Lull
being emitted is unstable,
**[06:59] Mei**
varying between weak and strong.
**[07:01] Mei**
It's very unique Sol/Lull.
**[07:03] Shima**
So that's why we look like this.
**[07:05] Shima**
Our clothes are made from
Sol/Lull, after all.
**[07:08] Inu**
Bath towels are "clothes"?
**[07:09] Uma**
I'm sorry! I'm sorry for
exposing myself like this!
**[07:13] Nya**
But why haven't I changed at all?
**[07:15] Nya**
Am I totally ruled out when
it comes to sex appeal?!
**[07:18] Uri**
Calm down, Nya-tan. Mei-tan
hasn't changed, either.
**[07:22] Usa**
Which means it must have
nothing to do with sex appeal.
**[07:26] Mei**
I don't often get sick in the first place.
**[07:30] Nya**
Then I must be fine because
I live well every day!
**[07:33] Nya**
Yay!
**[07:33] InuKey**
*It's because she's an idiot.*
**[07:34] UsUmPi**
*Because she's an idiot.*
**[07:35] DoShi**
*Idiots don't get sick.*
**[07:37] Mo**
Fantastic!
**[07:38] Uri**
She's impressive, all right.
**[07:40] Nya**
Now that we've had swimsuits
and bath towels...
**[07:43] Nya**
Next is nakedness! Everyone's gonna be naked!
***SIGN*** NAKED
**[07:48] Nya**
It's coming! We'll be
in DVD and Blu-ray mode!
**[07:52] Nya**
And no light beams, please!
**[08:01] Nya**
Wha— Wha—
**[08:03] Nya**
What is that?!
**[08:06] Usa**
Why are you acting so disappointed?
**[08:09] Nya**
I'm speaking for the viewers!
I represent all of them!
**[08:13] Nya**
Oh, that's right!
We can't show it on the air,
**[08:16] Nya**
but in the disc versions,
the light will be gone!
**[08:18] Uri**
These are drawn on the cels.
They won't come off.
**[08:22] Mo**
Nya-tan, my sweetheart!
**[08:25] Mo**
Don't cry!
**[08:27] Mo**
If my nude body will do,
I'll be as nude as you want!
**[08:30] Key**
What? Is she trying to take off the light?
**[08:32] Nya**
That's stupid! She's stupid!
**[08:40] Inu**
Inu!
**[08:50] Nya**
What is this chaos?!
**[08:52] Nya**
How much energy are they trying
to expend on the animation?!
**[08:56] Nya**
Why are they actually starting
to test each other's strength?!
**[08:59] Dora**
**[09:00] Nya**
My master suddenly made a run for it?!
**[09:05] Nya**
And she looks like she's in serious agony!
**[09:08] Uri**
It looks like the out-of-control
Sol/Lull made not just her feet,
**[09:10] Uri**
but her entire body an erogenous zone.
**[09:14] Nya**
She's a total 18-and-up-only Eto-shin now...
**[09:18] Nya**
What's wrong?
**[09:19] Key**
Kee-kee-kee-kee!
**[09:20] Inu**
Inu! Inu! Inu! Inu!
**[09:22] Nya**
Right, uh-huh, uh-huh...
**[09:24] Nya**
Like I understand that!
**[09:25] Nya**
Also, dogs say "woof"!
**[09:30] Nya**
You're back to normal?
**[09:33] Nya**
What's going on?
**[09:36] Mei**
When you smack them in retort,
**[09:38] Mei**
the out-of-control Sol/Lull seems
to be ejected from their bodies.
**[09:42] Nya**
So if I smack all of them with retorts,
**[09:44] Nya**
they'll all go back to normal?
**[09:46] Mei**
Well, yes, but it's only temporar—
**[09:49] Nya**
Here I go!
**[09:51] Uma**
Forgive me! I'm sorry!
**[09:53] Uma**
I'm sorry I'm dressed like this!
**[09:55] Uma**
Ah, how I envy Mo-tan...
**[09:58] Uma**
I envy people with nice bodies...
**[10:01] Uma**
Envy!
**[10:03] Nya**
You sound more like a bound
spirit than an Eto-shin!
**[10:07] Nya**
All right! Next!
**[10:12] Nya**
If I go anywhere near this one,
it's gonna get annoying.
**[10:15] Nya**
An explosion?!
**[10:16] Mei**
Oh, dear. They've all started to rampage.
**[10:19] Mei**
We need to find a way to
deal with this, quickly.
**[10:25] Nya**
My house is destroyed!
**[10:30] Nya**
My house is rebuilt!
**[10:32] Nya**
What kind of self-fulfilled work is that?!
**[10:39] Nya**
Destroyed again?! What are you doing?!
**[10:41] Dora**
Don't feel.
**[10:43] Dora**
Think!
**[10:44] Nya**
I am thinking, and I don't
get it! That's why I asked!
**[10:47] Shima**
Nya-tan...
**[10:48] Shima**
You've got some nice skin, don't ya?
**[10:51] Nya**
She's pretending this is casual skinship,
but she already has me in a lock!
**[10:55] Nya**
I can't move a single finger!
**[10:57] Nya**
Even if she does something dumb,
I can't smack her now!
**[11:00] Shima**
Rub, rubbity-rub...
**[11:05] Nya**
You're a leopard, not a tiger?
**[11:07] Nya**
Wait, a leopardess?!
**[11:09] Nya**
I... I can't smack her...
**[11:11] Shima**
I never let my prey escape.
**[11:14] Nya**
An erotic development?
Or is she really trying to eat me?!
**[11:17] Nya**
I don't know which it is,
but I don't like either one!
**[11:23] Mo**
Stop! Can't you see she doesn't like that?
**[11:26] Nya**
This feels so wrong,
my hair's standing on end!
**[11:29] Mo**
My lovely princess, please don't cry.
**[11:36] Mo**
I will fight for my beloved lady!
**[11:39] Shima**
I'm gonna gobble her up!
**[11:41] Nya**
You're both nothing but perverts!
**[11:46] Nya**
You're one tough master!
**[11:47] Shima**
Nya-tan, as fellow felines,
let us caterwaul together!
**[11:51] Nya**
What are you, an old man?!
**[11:52] Mo**
I will protect her chastity or die trying!
**[11:55] Nya**
Then go ahead and die!
**[11:57] Nya**
Also, you're the one putting
my chastity in danger!
**[12:01] Nya**
You're back already?!
**[12:02] Shima**
Nya-tan, let's make out! Unify! Become one!
**[12:06] Nya**
No more, old man!
**[12:07] Mo**
I will—
**[12:08] Nya**
Shut up, pervert!
**[12:11] Nya**
I'm in trouble...
**[12:12] Nya**
I keep smacking them,
but they keep coming back.
**[12:15] Nya**
I actually would appreciate
even a cat's help right now...
**[12:19] Mei**
Nya-tan, I've got it!
**[12:21] Nya**
What, I have to take a sheep's help?!
**[12:24] Mei**
The out-of-control Sol/Lull is being
caused by the "divine cold virus."
**[12:28] Nya**
Divine cold virus?
***SIGN*** The Conference
of Gods selects 108 Eto-musume and 12 Eto-shin to
participate in the Eto-shin Selection Festival (ETM12),
granting them Sol/Lull Seals as proof of their qualification.
***SIGN*** Immediately after
an Eto-musume invokes her right to issue an inescapable
challenge to an Eto-shin, and accepts the Eto-shin's stated
conditions for victory, the battle for the Sol/Lull Seal begins.
**[12:45] Nya**
So what is this divine cold virus, anyway?
**[12:49] Mei**
It's an illness brought on by a virus
that only occurs in the Eto realm.
**[12:52] Mei**
It multiplies within Sol/Lull.
**[12:55] Mei**
No human has ever been known to catch it...
**[12:59] Uri**
Takeru-san's Sol/Lull is special.
**[13:01] Uri**
Maybe that has something to do with it?
**[13:03] Nya**
Uri-tan, you're awfully
calm amidst all this chaos.
***SIGN*** All There Is to Know About Sesame Oil

**[13:08] Uri**
Well, panicking won't do any good.
**[13:10] Uri**
It seems like I just keep getting smaller.
**[13:13] Uri**
I'm not going to die or anything,
so I can just wait unti—
**[13:22] Nya**
She died.
**[13:25] Nya**
Takeru?!
**[13:28] Mei**
The divine cold virus is spreading
at a terrifying rate...
**[13:32] Mei**
If it keeps up, all of Takeru-san's
**[13:34] Mei**
Sol/Lull will be devoured!
**[13:36] Nya**
What'll happen if it gets devoured?
**[13:39] Mei**
Takeru-san won't wake up. Ever.
**[13:42] Nya**
No way! Wh-What do we do?
**[13:45] Mei**
The only way is to enter his Sol/Lull
directly and treat it there.
**[13:49] Mei**
Enter his Sol/Lull? Is that possible?
**[13:52] Mei**
With my ability, it is.
**[13:55] Mei**
But Takeru-san will be utterly
defenseless while he's being treated.
**[13:59] Mei**
If he takes even the smallest blow,
his condition will become critical.
**[14:03] Nya**
So what do we do?
**[14:05] Mei**
Protect Takeru-san's body.
**[14:08] Mei**
You're the only one I can count on, Nya-tan.
**[14:11] Nya**
Y-You're counting on... me?
**[14:13] Mei**
Yes.
**[14:15] Mei**
Nya-tan!
**[14:16] Nya**
I got it!
**[14:18] Nya**
We haven't had much to do
**[14:20] Nya**
with each other before, but...
**[14:23] Nya**
Right now,
**[14:24] Nya**
we share the same desire
to make Takeru better!
**[14:27] Mei**
Yes!
**[14:30] DoShiMo**
Derp...
**[14:32] DoShiMo**
Derp...
**[14:32] Nya**
Mei-tan, leave these idiots
to me and go inside him!
**[14:37] DoShiMo**
Derp...
**[14:40] Nya**
Mei-tan, hurry!
**[14:40] DoShiMo**
Derp...
**[14:45] Mei**
Made in Sol/Lull!
**[14:52] Mei**
Off I go!
**[15:10] Mei**
There!
**[15:21] Takeru**
Huh? Mei-tan?
**[15:23] Mei**
Hang in there just a bit longer, Takeru-san.
**[15:26] Mei**
I'll fix you up in no time.
**[15:42] Mei**
That completes the treatment.
**[15:45] Mei**
It's okay now, Takeru-san!
**[15:48] Takeru**
Th-Thanks...
**[15:50] Mei**
It's all right.
**[15:51] Mei**
My job is to look after the health of humans.
**[15:55] Mei**
As long as humans are healthy,
the world will be at peace!
**[15:59] Takeru**
Those are really nice words.
**[16:06] Mei**
You think so, too?
**[16:10] Mei**
I'm glad.
**[16:11] Mei**
You know, 2,000 years ago,
**[16:14] Mei**
when I was given a position as an Eto-shin,
**[16:16] Mei**
those were the words of the person
who gave my life a purpose.
**[16:20] Mei**
You're a fascinating person, Takeru-san.
**[16:22] Mei**
I've never told anyone this before.
**[16:27] Mei**
Oh, you fell asleep?
**[16:32] Mei**
The divine cold virus!
**[16:37] Mei**
A new variation?!
**[16:44] Mei**
It's trying to get outside?

**[17:02] Virus**
I reign over all realms,
**[17:05] Virus**
godly and mortal,
and put even gods to sleep.
**[17:07] Nya**
Eh? What? All in one? All realms?
**[17:10] Virus**
Foolish creature who hears not my voice...
**[17:14] Nya**
Huh? Goulash?
**[17:16] Virus**
I am the true divine cold virus!
**[17:19] Nya**
Oh, right! You're the one I've heard of!
**[17:22] Nya**
The one causing havoc everywhere right now,
**[17:25] Nya**
the divine cold virus!
**[17:27] Nya**
Wait! So this was
**[17:29] Nya**
all your doing?!
**[17:31] Mei**
*D-Delayed retort?*
**[17:36] Nya**
Cut it out already!
**[17:38] Virus**
I'm sorry!
**[17:40] Mei**
*It's gone...*
**[17:41] Nya**
Sheesh, what a trouble-making virus.
**[17:46] Nya**
When did I end up naked?!
**[17:50] Mei**
You used all your Sol/Lull,
including your clothes,
**[17:52] Mei**
for that last retort.
**[17:54] Nya**
No way!
**[17:56] Mei**
That's just how much of your
heart you put into that whack.
**[17:59] Mei**
That was amazing, Nya-tan.
**[18:00] Nya**
Huh? R-Really?
**[18:07] Nya**
Oh, Takeru looks peaceful now!
**[18:10] Mei**
Now his treatment really is complete.
**[18:14] Nya**
Ow! My hand hurts!
**[18:16] Mei**
Oh, my. You've done too much smacking.
**[18:19] Mei**
Wait just a moment.
**[18:21] Mei**
There.
**[18:22] Nya**
Wow! The pain is going away by the second!
**[18:27] Nya**
A Sol/Lull Seal?
**[18:28] Mei**
My Sol/Lull Seal works
well for bruises, sprains,
**[18:32] Mei**
cuts, and fractures.
**[18:35] Nya**
I can have this?
**[18:36] Mei**
Yes.
**[18:38] Nya**
All right!
**[18:39] Nya**
Mei-tan's Sol/Lull Seal is mine!
***SIGN*** Sheep

You're so funny, Nya-tan.

If an Eto-musume like you joined the zodiac,
**[18:51] Mei**
perhaps something would change.
**[18:54] Mei**
And then, maybe she would...
**[19:02] Mo**
What happened?
**[19:03] Uma**
What on Earth...
**[19:05] Piyo**
...were we just doing?
**[19:12] Shima**
What're you laughin' at?
**[19:14] Shima**
Get some clothes on.
**[19:16] Shima**
Ya may be an idiot,
but you're gonna catch a cold.
**[19:18] Dora**
That's right.
**[19:20] Dora**
You had a terribly runny nose earlier.
**[19:23] Shima**
Are ya over that cold?
**[19:25] Nya**
I had a cold?
***SIGN*** Oden

Oh, now that you mention it...
**[19:36] Nya**
I'm back!
**[19:39] Nya**
Brr...
**[19:41] Nya**
It's cold in here.
**[19:45] ---**
Achoo!
**[19:48] Nya**
Ah, nice and warm.
**[19:51] Takeru**
C-Cold...
**[19:58] Nya**
Maybe it happened then.
**[20:00] Uri**
You clearly gave your
**[20:02] Uri**
divine cold to Takeru-san.
**[20:04] Nya**
Oh, no, no, no! It couldn't be!
**[20:16] Mei**
Nya-tan...
**[20:18] Mei**
You let the divine cold virus beat you,
**[20:20] Mei**
and even brought about a new variation.
**[20:24] Mei**
You are far too unhealthy.
**[20:26] Nya**
Meow?!
**[20:28] Mei**
You'll need a vaccination to
prevent this from happening again.
**[20:32] Mei**
Of course, I'll need all
**[20:34] Mei**
the rest of you to line up, too.
**[20:39] Nya**
I-I-I...
**[20:41] Nya**
I refuse!
**[20:44] Mei**
For goodness' sake...
**[20:45] Mei**
I'll make sure you all get a shot later.
**[20:48] Takeru**
Mei-tan?
**[20:50] Mei**
Takeru-san! You're awake?
**[20:55] Mei**
Yes, you're all better.
**[20:58] Mei**
You'll be fine now. You did very well.
**[21:02] Takeru**
You're the one who did well, aren't you?
**[21:07] Takeru**
Thanks.
**[21:13] Takeru**
Mei-tan?
**[21:14] Mei**
Ah... U-Um...
**[21:17] Mei**
I... I...
**[21:20] Mei**
I don't get sick, but...
**[21:22] Mei**
I think I've just come
down with lovesickness.
**[21:26] Mei**
Oh, dear... What a problem...
**[21:29] Takeru**
Are you... okay?
**[21:30] Mei**
To think you would worry
for my sake, Takeru-san!
**[21:34] Takeru**
Er, um... I mean...
What happened to you?
**[21:34] Mei**
I'm so happy!
**[21:47] Shar**
Looks like she's obtained
Mei-tan's Sol/Lull Seal.

That's bad?

My brains are made different
from other Eto-musume's!
**[00:41] Inu**
Yeah, they're made dumber, right?
**[00:43] Key**
They're the perfect model of stupidity!
**[00:45] Nya**
What?! Well, you guys are
just made of rudeness!
**[00:50] Shima**
Nya-tan, look here...
**[00:52] Shima**
Just so ya know,
**[00:54] Shima**
gettin' Sol/Lull Seals that way
won't get ya into the zodiac.
**[00:58] Nya**
Yep! I know!
**[01:00] Shima**
Is that how ya show remorse?!
**[01:04] Nya**
Yes, Master. I understand.
**[01:07] Shima**
You'd better.
**[01:09] Shima**
Honestly...
**[01:11] Inu**
Ha, ha! Scaredy-cat!
**[01:14] Nya**
I can't help it.

Yeah, she is your master in

of the Tiger's Scheme
**[03:19] Shima**
Thanks. Sorry to put ya to the trouble.
**[03:23] Takeru**
It's okay.
**[03:24] Takeru**
So what did you want to talk about?
**[03:28] Shima**
It's about Nya-tan.
**[03:30] Takeru**
Okay...
**[03:31] Shima**
You might... not...
**[03:33] Shima**
have noticed, but...
**[03:37] Takeru**
It's okay. You can spit out the squid.
**[03:40] Shima**
No, I can't do that.
**[03:43] Shima**
You... grilled this... for me...
**[03:48] Shima**
I must finish it... gratefully.
**[03:50] Takeru**
You're very serious about
these things, huh?
**[03:57] Shima**
Anyway, you might not have noticed, but...
**[04:00] Takeru**
Yeah?
**[04:01] Shima**
Nya-tan will never join the
Chinese zodiac at this rate.
**[04:04] Takeru**
Probably not.
**[04:05] Shima**
What? When did ya realize it?
**[04:07] Takeru**
Quite a while ago.
**[04:09] Shima**
L-Looks like I underestimated ya a bit.
**[04:12] Shima**
That'll make this quick.
**[04:14] Shima**
Eto-musume earn gratitude from
humans through good conduct
**[04:17] Shima**
and grow by collecting their Sol/Lull.
**[04:20] Shima**
But...
**[04:21] Takeru**
I've never seen Nya-tan do anything
I'd call "good conduct."
**[04:26] Shima**
That's because the quality of
your Sol/Lull is too high...
**[04:29] Shima**
I think.
**[04:30] Takeru**
Huh?
**[04:32] Shima**
Just a tiny bit makes her crazy strong.
**[04:34] Shima**
Since she feels at ease knowin' such
convenient Sol/Lull is nearby...
**[04:37] Shima**
No, since she knows she can just
steal some if she needs to,
**[04:41] Shima**
she's not makin' any effort anymore.
**[04:44] Takeru**
That's true... I've never seen
her make any effort, either.
**[04:49] Shima**
At this rate, not only will she
**[04:51] Shima**
never join the zodiac,
but Chu-tan will destroy her.
**[04:54] Takeru**
Chu-tan...
**[04:58] Shima**
You may be poison to Nya-tan.
**[05:02] Takeru**
Poison?
**[05:05] Shima**
Despite how she is,
Nya-tan's my precious student.
**[05:08] Shima**
I can't just sit by and do nothin'.
**[05:12] Shima**
So...
**[05:13] Shima**
Tomorrow, I'm gonna challenge
Nya-tan to a battle.
**[05:18] Shima**
Depending on the outcome,
**[05:19] Shima**
I'll take Nya-tan away from
here on a training journey.
**[05:23] Shima**
Is that all right?
**[05:24] Takeru**
You don't have to ask me.
**[05:26] Takeru**
Nya-tan made her own decision to live here.
**[05:28] Shima**
Oh, right... Having her here is
a nuisance to you, isn't it?
**[05:32] Takeru**
I wouldn't say a nuisance...
Well, sometimes it is...
**[05:35] Takeru**
Wait, what are you doing?!
**[05:36] Shima**
Oh, sorry. I thought you'd
feel bad if I left any.
**[05:40] Takeru**
No, please, take it with you.
**[05:42] Shima**
Okay. Thanks.
***SIGN*** Fun Wrap

* Having her here is a nuisance*
* to you, isn't it?*
**[05:54] Takeru**
*I wouldn't say a nuisance...*
**[05:58] Takeru**
Uri-tan, have you been here the whole time?
**[06:00] Uri**
I sure have. I heard every word.
**[06:03] Takeru**
I see.
**[06:05] Uri**
How do you really feel, Takeru-san?
**[06:07] Takeru**
Huh? About what?
**[06:08] Uri**
About Nya-tan.
**[06:11] Takeru**
How do I feel? I'm not sure.
**[06:13] Uri**
Maybe it's not that you don't know,
but that you're trying not to think about it?
**[06:17] Takeru**
What's this about, Uri-tan?
You're digging pretty deep here.
**[06:20] Uri**
It's something I've always wondered.
**[06:22] Uri**
Why do you tend to hide how you feel?
**[06:26] Takeru**
I hate it when feelings I gave a lot
of thought to turn out to be wrong.
**[06:31] Takeru**
Anyway, goodnight.
**[06:35] Uri**
Feelings aren't something you
have by thinking, Takeru-san.
**[06:42] Shima**
Nya-tan, wake up!
**[06:44] Shima**
Nya-tan!
**[06:46] Shima**
She's not in?
**[06:48] Shima**
Damn it, where'd she wander
off to this early?
**[06:52] Shima**
Nya-tan?
**[06:53] Shima**
Where are ya?
**[06:54] Shima**
Nya-tan!
**[06:55] Shima**
Nya-ta—
**[06:57] Nya**
She won't find us this time!

You're tryin' to pull this again?
**[07:28] Nya**
Well, I haven't been able
to get any Sol/Lull Seals!
**[07:31] Key**
Nya-tan's under pressure!
**[07:33] Inu**
Yeah!
**[07:33] Shima**
And I told you that gettin'
Seals that way won't work!
**[07:37] Nya**
The rules say if I get twelve
Seals, I can join the zodiac!
**[07:41] Nya**
So I'll do whatever it takes
to become one of them!
**[07:44] Shima**
Just gettin' your hands on
'em isn't all that matters.
**[07:46] Nya**
You're too serious, Master!
**[07:48] Shima**
What?
**[07:49] Nya**
Shouldn't you try to live more
candidly, like you did before?
**[07:52] Shima**
What're ya talkin' about?

***SIGN*** Episode 5

You acted a lot more freely when
you were a leopardess, Master!
**[08:05] Shima**
Why do you have pictures of that?
**[08:08] Nya**
Between you and me,
**[08:10] Nya**
they sell quite high to
customers at the café.
**[08:13] Nya**
The personality contrast turns them on!
**[08:15] Inu**
Ooh! Let me see!
**[08:17] Key**
Wow, sexy!
**[08:18] Nya**
I've got more.
**[08:19] Inu**
No way! That one's incredible!

What is this?! It's crazy!
**[08:26] Inu**
That's way too sexy!

Sexy!
**[08:29] Inu**
Sexy!
**[08:30] Nya**
It is, isn't it?
**[08:33] Shima**
What a disgrace! What despair!
**[08:36] Shima**
The shame of knowing I brought up a student
**[08:38] Shima**
who'd blackmail her master like this!

Uh, she's acting weird...

What are you trying to do?!
**[08:51] Shima**
Seppuku!

What?!
**[08:53] Shima**
I'll atone for all these
disgraces with my life.
**[08:56] Shima**
But I'll be takin' y'all with me!

What?!

Stop! Stop!

**[09:10] Nya**
Stop it!
**[09:13] Nya**
Huh?
**[09:14] Shima**
Even if you have lost your memories,
**[09:16] Shima**
that kick was pathetic!
**[09:24] Nya**
Ow!
**[09:27] Shima**
I thought that if you could
**[09:29] Shima**
truly join the zodiac by your own strength,
**[09:32] Shima**
I wouldn't mind retiring.
**[09:35] Shima**
But what was that kick?
**[09:38] Shima**
I won't have it.
**[09:39] Shima**
We start trainin' right now!
I'll start you over from scratch!
**[09:42] Nya**
Training?!
**[09:43] Key**
Good luck, Nya-tan.
**[09:44] Inu**
Give our best to the sexy big-boobs master.
**[09:46] Shima**
That goes for you slackers, too!
**[09:47] InuKey**
Huh?!
**[09:49] Nya**
So, what training are we doing?
**[09:51] Shima**
We'll have a real battle
for Sol/Lull Seals.
**[09:54] Shima**
Key-tan, Inu-tan,
you're fine with that, yes?
**[09:56] InuKey**
Y-Yes. We understand.
**[09:59] Nya**
Hmm... So that means...
**[10:01] Nya**
If I win, I get three Seals at once, right?
**[10:05] Shima**
That's right.
**[10:06] Nya**
All right! In that case...
**[10:08] Nya**
I'll need this!
**[10:09] Inu**
What's that?

What are your rules?
**[11:34] Shima**
The rule is...
**[11:42] Shima**
A kick-the-can battle.

Kick-the-can?

I'm "it."

No problem here.
**[11:55] Shima**
That's just fine.
**[12:06] Nya**
Gather!
**[12:11] Inu**
Hey, Nya-tan, why'd you make us gather?
**[12:14] Key**
If we don't take this seriously,
we're gonna lose!
**[12:16] Nya**
I-It's a strategy meeting!
**[12:18] Nya**
We'll all work together to win!
**[12:21] Inu**
I-Isn't that unfair?
**[12:22] Nya**
If you can't win with strength,
you fight with this!
**[12:27] Nya**
It's a perfect strategy!
**[12:28] Nya**
She may be a master, but even she'll
have trouble taking us all at once.
**[12:32] Key**
You're right. Let's go with that.
**[12:34] Inu**
Okay. I want to get this scary
training battle over with quick.
**[12:38] Nya**
The important point is our teamwork.
**[12:40] Nya**
We've gotta be separate, but united.
**[12:43] Shima**
Done with your strategy meeting?
**[12:50] ---**
**[12:52] Shima**
Y'all are rarin' to go, huh?

**[12:55] Shima**
Let's start the battle!
**[13:00] Nya**
* While Master's distracted by*
* the other two attacking,*
**[13:03] Nya**
*I'll kick the can and win!*
**[13:09] Inu**
Take this!
**[13:20] Shima**
Sneaky little tricks won't
get you into the zodiac.
**[13:24] Shima**
Didn't I tell you that?
**[13:32] Key**
Sheesh...
**[13:33] Nya**
*Try harder, you zodiac brats!*
**[13:35] InuKey**
No way. No way.
**[13:36] Uri**
That's what I call an underdog.
**[13:38] Inu**
Shut up!
**[13:40] Uri**
But there's still plenty of
time left in the episode.
**[13:43] Takeru**
You're saying stuff I don't
understand again, but...
**[13:45] Takeru**
Is Shima-tan really that strong?
**[13:47] Inu**
"Strong" doesn't even cover it.
**[13:49] Key**
There's a reason she's the master
of strength and techniques.
**[13:52] Uri**
Shima-tan is one of the
**[13:54] Uri**
four strongest Eto-shin.
**[13:57] Takeru**
Why four? That's kinda vague.
**[14:01] Shima**
What, they both surrendered already?
**[14:05] Shima**
They really are slackin' as zodiac gods.
**[14:08] Shima**
That saves ya some trouble.
**[14:10] Shima**
If you can kick this can, you get 'em both.
**[14:14] Nya**
Here I come!
**[14:18] Nya**
I hit it!
**[14:22] Nya**
This won't work! I need to
throw her off-balance!
**[14:34] Shima**
You haven't gotten any of
your strength back at all.
**[14:38] Shima**
In fact, you've gotten weaker.
**[14:40] Nya**
Master...
**[14:42] Shima**
At this rate, Chu-tan really will beat you!
**[14:59] Dora**
Chu-tan...
**[15:01] Dora**
Are you going to Nya-tan?
**[15:04] Dora**
Can't you just leave her alone now?
**[15:08] Dora**
You saw it in your battle
with her, didn't you?
**[15:12] Dora**
Nya-tan was eliminated 60 years ago,
**[15:16] Dora**
and she reincarnated...
**[15:18] Dora**
But she's lost all her memories and powers.
**[15:23] Chu**
My soul cries out,
**[15:26] Chu**
"Destroy the cat clan."
**[15:29] Dora**
Nya-tan is not the same
Nya-tan she was then!
**[15:32] Dora**
If you insist on fighting her,
I'll stop you as many times as it takes!
**[15:36] Chu**
What do you people think
**[15:38] Chu**
the strictly impartial ETM12 is?
**[15:41] Chu**
You can't stop me any longer.
**[15:44] Chu**
I have submitted a thirteenth
article to the Zodiac Precepts.
**[15:48] Dora**
What?!
**[15:50] Dora**
You've added a new article
to the Zodiac Precepts,
**[15:53] Dora**
the rules of the ETM12?
**[15:54] Chu**
Intervention in a battle
**[15:56] Chu**
by a third party will never again be permitted.
**[16:07] Chu**
You won't interfere.
**[16:08] Dora**
Chu-tan!
**[16:11] Dora**
What is that sinister Sol/Lull?
**[16:15] Dora**
Still...
**[16:16] Dora**
The Zodiac Precepts that have been upheld,
**[16:19] Dora**
unchanged, for 2,000 years...
**[16:21] Dora**
But there's still time before
**[16:23] Dora**
her new precept is enforced.
**[16:26] Dora**
Until then, Chu-tan shouldn't be
able to do anything, either.
**[16:29] Dora**
I must do something...
**[16:37] Shima**
*No good...*
**[16:43] Shima**
I'm going to end this now, Nya-tan.
**[16:46] Shima**
And then you're going to
leave Takeru's house!
**[16:49] Nya**
Why does it have to come to that?!
**[16:51] Shima**
Leaving you with Takeru will only
make you weaker and weaker.
**[16:55] Shima**
You just rely on him and
think frivolous thoughts...
**[16:57] Nya**
That's not true!
**[16:58] Nya**
Since I met Takeru, I've had all kinds of
**[17:00] Nya**
experiences and learned lots of things!
**[17:03] Shima**
Experiences? Learned?
**[17:05] Shima**
Like what?!
**[17:06] Nya**
Like what? A lot!
**[17:09] Nya**
I've made lots of memories with Takeru...
**[17:14] Nya**
Memories that make me...
**[17:18] Nya**
So many memories...
**[17:30] Nya**
L-Lots of memories...
**[17:35] Nya**
I don't have that many memories!
**[17:38] Takeru**
That's only natural.
We're not that deeply connected.
**[17:42] Uri**
Takeru-san, wouldn't you be
sad if Nya-tan went away?
**[17:46] Takeru**
Sad? I don't know...
**[17:49] Takeru**
I don't think I would.
**[17:53] Shima**
Hurry up and surrender, Nya-tan.
**[17:55] Shima**
Come with me to train and
start over from scratch!
**[17:59] Nya**
No!
**[18:00] Shima**
Why are ya so against the idea?
**[18:02] Shima**
You don't have any memories here!
**[18:04] Nya**
I don't now,
**[18:06] Nya**
but I'm going to make lots
**[18:08] Nya**
and lots of them!
**[18:15] Shima**
Is that only because ya want Sol/Lull?
**[18:18] Shima**
Because ya wanna use the human
**[18:20] Shima**
who happens to be here
to achieve your goal?
**[18:23] Shima**
Well, that is certainly a
clever way of thinking.
**[18:27] Shima**
In that case, you'll have
to use him to the fullest
**[18:29] Shima**
and take as much Sol/Lull as you can.
**[18:32] Shima**
Treat him not as a human,
but as a battery full of Sol/Lull!
**[18:36] Nya**
No!
**[18:38] Nya**
I don't want that!
**[18:39] Nya**
Takeru's Sol/Lull comes from
**[18:41] Nya**
his own kind heart.
**[18:44] Nya**
Takeru produces such amazing
**[18:46] Nya**
Sol/Lull because he is who he is!
**[18:50] Nya**
I've forgotten a lot of things.
**[18:52] Nya**
I don't even remember why I wanted to
**[18:55] Nya**
join the zodiac in the first place, but—
**[19:00] Nya**
Wh-When I'm with Takeru,
**[19:03] Nya**
sesame oil tastes better,
**[19:05] Nya**
hot baths feel nicer,
**[19:07] Nya**
and breakfast and trips out of the
house and everything else is fun!
**[19:11] Nya**
It's because Takeru is with me
**[19:13] Nya**
that I can give all I've got to making my
dream of joining the zodiac come true!
**[19:17] Nya**
He's not a battery!
**[19:19] Nya**
I can believe that because he's Takeru!
**[19:28] Takeru**
What makes you think
**[19:30] Takeru**
you can say I'm nice and all
that other weird stuff?
**[19:33] Takeru**
You really are a nuisance.
**[19:36] Uri**
Takeru-san...
**[19:37] Takeru**
But...
**[19:38] Takeru**
You're a nuisance, but... I guess it's fun.
**[19:43] Shima**
You say some real admirable things.
**[19:45] Shima**
But if you can't beat me,
**[19:48] Shima**
you won't get anywhere, let alone
become one of the zodiac.
**[19:54] Shima**
This is over.
**[19:56] Nya**
That's why I...
**[19:58] Nya**
Don't want to lose.
**[20:01] Nya**
I will win!
**[20:04] Takeru**
Look what a mess you are...
**[20:07] Takeru**
You're making me want to cheer you on.
**[20:12] Takeru**
*Nya-tan, hang in there!*
**[20:18] Shima**
This is...
**[20:22] Nya**
Here I come,
**[20:23] Nya**
Master!
***SIGN*** Cat

**[20:49] Takeru**
*Nya-tan...*
**[20:50] Takeru**
*Go!*
**[21:16] Voice**
*The battle is over.*
**[21:21] Shima**
I see.
**[21:23] Shima**
So Takeru did that... Now it makes sense.
**[21:26] Uri**
Yep, yep.
**[21:27] Uri**
An Eto-musume ignites a human's
affections, and receives Sol/Lull.
**[21:30] Uri**
There's no problem with
that relationship at all.
**[21:33] Shima**
That's true.
**[21:35] Shima**
I never expected her to let loose
**[21:37] Shima**
a new move there, though.
**[21:43] Nya**
I got three more
**[21:45] Nya**
Sol/Lull Seals...
**[21:47] Takeru**
You were great. Good job.
**[21:55] Uri**
Everything's looking good.
**[21:57] Shima**
Hey, don't keep watchin' like that.
**[22:00] Uri**
Yep, yep, okay.
***SIGN*** Next Time

**[23:42] Inu**
And those born in the year of the
dog should eat lots and lots, too!
**[23:45] Nya**
I agree!

Next time: A Long, Serpentine Fate.

**[00:11] Shar**
I hear you've submitted a thirteenth
article to the Zodiac Precepts.
**[00:16] Chu**
Yes.
**[00:19] Chu**
Soon...
**[00:20] Chu**
Soon, I will be able to destroy the cat.
**[00:25] Chu**
I'm almost there...
**[00:31] Shar**
Cat and rat...
**[00:33] Shar**
The connection they share
is one that nobody can undo.
**[00:37] Shar**
But...
**[00:58] [SONG] Title**
ETOTAMA
***SIGN*** A Long, Serpentine Fate
**[02:28] Nya**
Where should we go next?
What should we buy?
**[02:31] Nya**
If we drag our feet, the day will
be over before we know it!
**[02:35] Takeru**
You're in an awfully good mood.
**[02:37] Nya**
Well, yeah! I learned a
lethal new technique!
**[02:41] Nya**
I'm getting so much stronger,
my own potential frightens me!
***SIGN*** Neko Masshiguran
**[02:47] Shar**
Oh?
**[02:48] Nya**
Hey, Shar-tan! What are you up to?
**[02:52] Takeru**
What was that? I don't get it.
**[02:56] Takeru**
You're into gardening, Shar-tan?
**[02:59] Shar**
No. It's food for this little one.
**[03:02] Both**
"Little one"?
**[03:03] Shar**
Yes, this little one.
**[03:04] Shar**
I have to feed it poison regularly.
**[03:07] Takeru**
But that's just a hair ornament, isn't it?
**[03:09] Nya**
Wait! So is this a poisonous plant?!
**[03:11] Takeru**
No, that's a bay laure—
**[03:14] Nya**
It's bitter! I'm dying! I'm dying!
**[03:16] Shar**
That was a joke.
**[03:17] Nya**
Which part was the joke?!
**[03:20] Shar**
This isn't poisonous. It's a bay
laurel to use for cooking.
**[03:23] Nya**
Oh!
**[03:25] Nya**
So this snake is just a fake, too, right?
***SIGN*** Chomp
**[03:30] Nya**
Ow!
**[03:31] Shar**
Be careful.
**[03:32] Nya**
Too late for that!
***SIGN*** Hiss
**[03:34] Shar**
This really is a venomous snake.
**[03:36] Nya**
Seriously?!
**[03:38] Nya**
What?
**[03:41] Nya**
Hey! Why am I turning to stone?!
**[03:43] Nya**
W-Wait! Takeru, do somethi—
**[03:46] Shar**
Oh, dear.
**[03:47] Takeru**
Nya-tan! Nya-tan!
**[03:48] Takeru**
What do we do?!
**[03:50] Shar**
She needs the antidote,
or she'll be like that forever.
**[03:53] Takeru**
No way...
**[03:54] Takeru**
Where is the antidote?
**[03:56] Shar**
Let us embark on a journey, then.
**[03:58] Takeru**
Pardon?
**[03:59] Shar**
A journey to obtain the antidote.
**[04:02] Takeru**
Wh-What is...
**[04:14] Shar**
It's the snake train.
**[04:15] Takeru**
Snake... It's exactly what it looks like.
**[04:17] Shar**
Now, let's go.
**[04:21] Takeru**
A-All right.
**[04:31] Takeru**
What is this place?
**[04:32] Shar**
You're better off not knowing the details.
**[04:35] Shar**
For a human like you,
it's quite serpentine logic.
**[04:40] Shar**
That was a pun using "serpent,"
as in a snake—
**[04:42] Takeru**
Yeah, you don't have to explain. I got it.
**[04:45] Shar**
I see.
**[04:46] Takeru**
So this goes to a place where we can find
**[04:48] Takeru**
the antidote to return Nya-tan to normal?
**[04:51] Shar**
It might be there, and it might not be.
**[04:53] Takeru**
It might not?!
**[04:54] Shar**
Just kidding.
**[04:55] Takeru**
Which is it?!
**[04:57] Shar**
Look there.
**[04:59] Shar**
That's the Shrine of the Characters.
**[05:02] Takeru**
Huh?
***SIGN*** Shrine of the
Characters
**[05:11] Shar**
We've arrived.
**[05:12] Takeru**
And the antidote is here?
**[05:13] Shar**
Since we're here,
let's do some sightseeing.
**[05:18] Shar**
Look. There's something over there.
**[05:21] Takeru**
What's that?
**[05:29] Shar**
Now, I'll explain.
**[05:31] Takeru**
What?
**[05:33] Shar**
Chu-tan.
**[05:36] Shar**
She is a very scrupulous Eto-shin who
addresses all things with sincerity.
**[05:40] Shar**
Her favorite food is a product
stumbled upon around 4,000 BC
**[05:44] Shar**
when cow milk stored in a bag made from
**[05:45] Shar**
a sheep's stomach hardened due
to the work of enzymes—
**[05:47] Takeru**
Cheese, right?
**[05:51] Shar**
She protects the southern Kanto region.
***SIGN*** Rat
**[05:55] Shar**
Next is
***SIGN*** Ox
**[05:56] Shar**
Mo-tan.
**[05:57] Shar**
She is a pervert.
**[06:01] Shar**
She's actually a vegetarian.
**[06:03] Takeru**
No way! Never expected that!
**[06:05] Shar**
She protects the Tokai region.
***SIGN*** Ox
**[06:09] Shar**
Shima-tan has muscles ideal
for hand-to-hand combat,
***SIGN*** Tiger
**[06:12] Shar**
so she's on the heavy side.
**[06:14] Shar**
Uh, is it okay to say that?
**[06:15] Shar**
Her favorite things are liquor, snacks,
**[06:18] Shar**
and the plate the snacks were on.
**[06:19] Takeru**
She likes the plate?!
**[06:21] Takeru**
So that's why she took my—
**[06:22] Shar**
She protects the Kinki region.
***SIGN*** Tiger
**[06:27] Shar**
Usa-tan is ten kilograms
lighter than Shima-tan.
**[06:30] Takeru**
Again, you shouldn't say that...
**[06:33] Shar**
She protects Hokuriku.
***SIGN*** Rabbit
**[06:37] Shar**
Dora-tan is an adequate C-cup.
**[06:39] Takeru**
Hey!
**[06:41] Shar**
She protects the Tosan region.
***SIGN*** Dragon
**[06:43] Shar**
And when I say C-cup, I mean
**[06:46] Shar**
the difference between the top and under—
**[06:47] Takeru**
Next, please!
**[06:50] Shar**
I protect the Chugoku region.
**[06:52] Takeru**
That's it?
**[06:53] Shar**
You should learn many things
about me on this journey.
***SIGN*** Snake
**[06:59] Shar**
Uma-tan is haunted by the
unpleasant sound of her name.
**[07:02] Shar**
Rat, ox, tiger, rabbit,
**[07:04] Shar**
dragon, snake... snake...
**[07:06] Takeru**
Oh, come on. Remember her.
***SIGN*** Horse
**[07:09] Shar**
She protects the Kyushu region.
**[07:11] Shar**
Mei-tan's greatest concern
is her yearly shearing.
**[07:14] Takeru**
Shearing?
**[07:15] Shar**
Every hair on her body is shaved off.
**[07:17] Takeru**
Please don't lie.
***SIGN*** Sheep
**[07:20] Shar**
She protects Hokkaido.
**[07:22] Takeru**
Can we get to searching for
Nya-tan's antidote soon?
**[07:26] Shar**
Key-tan protects northern Kanto,
Piyo-tan protects Tohoku,
**[07:29] Shar**
Inu-tan protects Shikoku,
and Uri-tan protects Okinawa.
**[07:32] Takeru**
Thanks for consolidating those.
**[07:34] Shar**
You're welcome.
**[07:35] Takeru**
When I see it this way,
**[07:37] Takeru**
I can tell the zodiac really
does protect all of Japan.
**[07:40] Shar**
Exactly.
**[07:41] Shar**
That's why we can't lose
even one of the twelve.
**[07:45] Shar**
It looks like the antidote isn't here.
**[07:48] Takeru**
We haven't even looked for it...
**[07:51] Shar**
Oh, dear. We need to hurry back,
or the curator will appoint us.
**[07:55] Takeru**
Okay, okay. Let's get going.
**[08:01] Shar**
That was a close one.
**[08:03] Takeru**
Um, this *is* a journey to
**[08:06] Takeru**
get the antidote to fix Nya-tan, right?
**[08:09] Shar**
Yes. It's not a recap
episode, by any means.
**[08:12] Takeru**
Recap... episode?
**[08:14] Voice**
The next stop is the Shrine
of the ETM12 Setting.
**[08:18] Voice**
Shrine of the ETM12 Setting.
**[08:29] Shar**
Don't touch this reflective water.
**[08:31] Takeru**
Why not?
**[08:33] Shar**
The water is difficult to animate.
**[08:35] Shar**
They can't use as many
cels in a recap episode.
**[08:37] Takeru**
I'm sorry. I have no idea
what you're talking about.
**[08:41] Shar**
I'm going to give you a review
of what the ETM12 is.
***SIGN*** Zodiac Precepts
**[08:45] Shar**
The ETM12 is carried out
**[08:47] Shar**
according to the Zodiac Precepts.
**[08:50] Takeru**
Zodiac Precepts?
**[08:52] Shar**
Twelve rules established by the gods.
***SIGN*** Dragon
**[08:58] Uri**
The Eto-shin Selection Festival,
held once every sixty years,
**[09:01] Uri**
where Eto-musume can attain the rank
of Eto-shin with their own fists...
**[09:04] Uri**
That's the ETM12!
**[09:07] Uri**
For Nya-tan to become an Eto-shin,
**[09:08] Uri**
she must defeat all twelve Eto-shin in
battle while the ETM12 is in progress
**[09:11] Uri**
and obtain all of their Sol/Lull Seals.
**[09:20] Takeru**
If she loses her Sol/Lull Seal,
***SIGN*** Cat
**[09:22] Takeru**
she can't participate in the ETM12, right?
**[09:25] Shar**
Correct. Nor can she transform
into Pretty Mode anymore.
**[09:29] Nya**
Etotama! Sol/Lull Charge!
***SIGN*** Cat
**[09:32] Takeru**
With stuff like this,
**[09:33] Takeru**
they're usually larger and tougher-looking
after they transform, right?
**[09:37] Takeru**
So why do they get smaller?
**[09:39] Shar**
It's a result of them being condensed.
**[09:41] Takeru**
Condensed?
**[09:42] Shar**
Sol/Lull from humans collects in
**[09:45] Shar**
our Etotama, our souls,
**[09:48] Shar**
and converted into our battle power.
**[09:50] Shar**
It's when we're the most
tightly-packed with power.
**[09:53] Takeru**
Sounds kinda like 100%
juice from concentrate.
**[09:57] Takeru**
By the way, there are
**[09:59] Takeru**
108 Eto-musume participating
in the ETM12, right?
**[10:02] Shar**
That's right.
**[10:03] Takeru**
I've never met any other than Nya-tan.
**[10:07] Shar**
All the other Eto-musume
**[10:09] Shar**
were defeated by Chu-tan.
**[10:13] Takeru**
Chu-tan is that strong?
**[10:16] Shar**
Since the ETM12 of 2,000 years ago,
**[10:19] Shar**
Chu-tan has been the most powerful,
and the leader of the Eto-shin.
**[10:23] Takeru**
Wasn't the ETM12 of 2,000 years ago...
**[10:26] (Flashback) Dora**
It's true that the ETM12 of
**[10:29] (Flashback) Dora**
2,000 years ago was a footrace.
**[10:31] (Flashback) Shima**
And the twelve Zodiac gods chosen
then were the current twelve.
**[10:35] (Flashback) Takeru**
But that means the cat should hate the rat.
**[10:39] (Flashback) Takeru**
Why does Chu-tan hate Nya-tan?
**[10:43] Shar**
The connection between the cat and rat is
**[10:46] Shar**
a complex, elaborate tangle.
**[10:48] Shar**
If we tried to undo it by force,
they would surely be torn apart and die.
**[10:51] Takeru**
Is there something you know, Shar-tan?
**[10:54] Shar**
Well,
**[10:55] Shar**
I might know, or I might not know.
**[11:00] Shar**
Oh, it's that time already?
**[11:02] Shar**
Time to head for the next shrine.
***SIGN***
If an Eto-shin loses a Sol/Lull Seal battle,
her Sol/Lull Seal will be transferred to the
Eto-musume who defeated her.
The Eto-shin may continue to participate
in the ETM12 with a new Sol/Lull Seal.
***SIGN***
An Eto-musume who loses a Sol/Lull Seal battle
against an Eto-shin will lose her own Sol/Lull Seal,
and her right to participate in the current ETM12 will be revoked.
**[11:19] Shar**
Incidentally, how do you...
**[11:22] Shar**
How do you feel about Nya-tan?
**[11:25] Takeru**
Huh?
**[11:26] Takeru**
Actually,
**[11:28] Takeru**
Shima-tan and Uri-tan both asked
me the same thing recently.
**[11:33] Takeru**
When I first met her,
I had no idea what to do, but...
**[11:35] Shar**
It seems...
**[11:38] Shar**
That you are not so opposed
to a recap episode anymore.
**[11:41] Takeru**
What do you mean?
**[11:43] Shar**
You just gave me a line that will
**[11:45] Shar**
let us transition smoothly
into a flashback scene.
**[11:48] Shar**
Though, we already threw in a
few flashback scenes earlier.
**[11:52] Takeru**
You're kidding!
**[11:53] Shar**
You understand well how this should flow.
**[11:55] Shar**
You're very clever.
**[11:57] Voice**
*The next stop is the Shrine of
Reviewing the Story Thus Far.*
**[12:01] Shar**
We can stay on the train
from this point on.
**[12:01] Voice**
*Shrine of Reviewing the Story Thus Far.*
**[12:04] Takeru**
Huh?
**[12:05] Shar**
The snake train is about to molt.
**[12:07] Takeru**
Molt?!
**[12:08] Shar**
Just kidding.
**[12:09] Takeru**
This is tiring...
***SIGN*** Shrine of Reviewing the Story Thus Far
**[12:20] (Flashback) Nya**
Meow.
**[12:23] (Flashback) Nya**
Did that excite you?
**[12:26] (Flashback) Nya**
Did that lick excite you?
**[12:29] (Flashback) Nya**
Why?!
**[12:30] (Flashback) Nya**
How are you not excited after a run-in
with a lucky licking situation like that?!
***SIGN*** Hmm...
**[12:35] (Flashback) Takeru**
I see... So this is a lucky situation, huh?
**[12:38] (Flashback) Nya**
Seriously?
**[12:38] (Flashback) Takeru**
I don't really get it, but sorry
I didn't meet your expectations.
**[12:41] (Flashback) Nya**
Depressing!
**[12:44] (Flashback) Nya**
Meow?
**[12:45] (Flashback) Nya**
Meow! Onii-chan, you pervert!
**[12:50] (Flashback) Nya**
Oh, Takeru-han! Do you feel better?
**[12:54] (Flashback) Nya**
Where are you going?
**[12:56] (Flashback) Takeru**
To buy food...
**[12:57] (Flashback) Takeru**
and scout around.
**[13:01] (Flashback) ---**
**[13:02] (Flashback) Takeru**
Add indecent exposure to the charges.
***SIGN*** Fidget
**[13:06] (Flashback) Nya**
I wish I could jump into a hole!
**[13:08] (Flashback) Takeru**
Here.
***SIGN*** Hole
**[13:09] (Flashback) Nya**
Seriously?!
**[13:11] (Flashback) Uri**
Pleased to meet you. I'm Uri-tan.
**[13:14] (Flashback) Takeru**
So I might as well ask...
Where'd you come from?
**[13:17] (Flashback) ---**
From this hole.
***SIGN*** Hole
**[13:19] (Flashback) Takeru**
I should've known...
**[13:20] (Flashback) Takeru**
Where does that hole lead to?
**[13:22] (Flashback) Uri**
The world of the gods.
**[13:23] (Flashback) Takeru**
Gods?!
**[13:24] (Flashback) Uri**
Sometimes.
**[13:25] (Flashback) Takeru**
What do you mean, sometimes?
**[13:26] (Flashback) All**
Fire!
**[13:31] (Flashback) Takeru**
I might as well ask...
**[13:32] (Flashback) Takeru**
You know all these people, right?
**[13:35] (Flashback) Uri**
Yep, yep.
**[13:36] (Flashback) Shima**
Nya-tan can't help that. She's got amnesia.
**[13:39] (Flashback) Mei**
She's forgotten a lot of important things.
**[13:43] (Flashback) Mei**
Poor girl...
**[13:46] (Flashback) Nya**
Everyone working hard?
**[13:48] (Flashback) Takeru**
Huh? What are the Eto-shin doing here?
**[13:52] (Flashback) Nya**
They all work at this café.
**[13:54] (Flashback) Takeru**
They work?
**[13:55] (Flashback) Takeru**
Isn't Sol/Lull all they need?
**[13:58] (Flashback) Usa**
Sol/Lull and money are
two different things.
**[14:01] (Flashback) Shima**
The more money you have, the better.
**[14:03] (Flashback) Shima**
It never gets in the way.
**[14:04] (Flashback) Shima**
Right, Shar-tan?
**[14:06] (Flashback) Shar**
Yes.
**[14:07] (Flashback) Takeru**
She's playing the stock market!
**[14:09] (Flashback) Shar**
For me, it's a piece of cake.
**[14:13] Takeru**
You're still dealing in stocks?
**[14:15] Shar**
Yes.
**[14:16] Takeru**
That seems difficult.
**[14:17] Shar**
Even without doing anything extraordinary,
**[14:19] Shar**
it's possible to gain
extraordinary results.
**[14:23] Shar**
As long as you follow the basic rules.
**[14:25] Takeru**
Huh...
**[14:28] (Flashback) Chu**
So this is where you are.
**[14:33] (Flashback) Uri**
Chu-tan!
**[14:34] (Flashback) Takeru**
Chu-tan?
**[14:35] (Flashback) Uri**
She's the rat Eto-shin.
**[14:38] (Flashback) Chu**
I will only destroy the cat clan.
**[14:40] (Flashback) Dora**
If it gets dangerous, surrender right away.
**[14:44] (Flashback) Shima**
Got that, idiot student?
**[14:47] (Flashback) Dora**
What are you trying to do?
**[14:49] (Flashback) Uri**
I'm going to intervene in the battle.
**[14:51] (Flashback) Dora**
Intervene?!
**[14:52] (Flashback) Shima**
Even if you're an Eto-shin, doin'
somethin' that crazy will mess you up!
**[14:55] (Flashback) Uri**
Still!
**[14:57] (Flashback) Uri**
Nya-tan is my friend.
**[14:58] (Flashback) Uri**
I can't just keep watching this!
**[15:08] (Flashback) Chu**
You will exist no more!
**[15:12] (Flashback) Nya**
Uri-tan!
**[15:15] (Flashback) Uri**
Thank you for waiting.
**[15:17] (Flashback) Uri**
Here's the cake you ordered, yep, yep.
**[15:19] (Flashback) Takeru**
"Yep, yep"?
**[15:24] (Flashback) Takeru**
Reincarnated?
**[15:25] (Flashback) Uri**
Yes. Even if we die,
**[15:27] (Flashback) Uri**
we reincarnate after a
certain amount of time.
**[15:31] (Flashback) Takeru**
What kind of system is that?
**[15:32] (Flashback) Nya**
Exactly that kind of system, apparently.
**[15:34] (Flashback) Usa**
It's the UTC,
**[15:36] (Flashback) Usa**
Usa-tan Company's helicopter!
**[15:39] (Flashback) Takeru**
Usa-tan Company?
**[15:42] (Flashback) Usa**
Forgive my delayed introduction.

**[15:51] Takeru**
Is Usa-tan Company really that amazing?

Oh, didn't you notice?

Notice what?

All of these belong to the Usa-tan Group.

But as long as I follow the basic rules,

it may be a good time to sell.
**[16:09] Takeru**

I just sold it.

I reign over all realms, godly and mortal.

Eh? What? All in one? All realms?

I am the true divine cold virus!

Oh, right! You're the one I've heard of!

Wait! Cut it out already!

I'm sorry!

A kick-the-can battle.
**[17:17] (Flashback) Shima**
At this rate, Chu-tan really will beat you!
**[17:21] (Flashback) Shima**
Hurry up and surrender, Nya-tan.
**[17:24] (Flashback) Shima**
Come with me to train and
start over from scratch!
**[17:27] (Flashback) Nya**
No!
**[17:33] (Flashback) Nya**
Takeru produces such amazing
**[17:37] (Flashback) Nya**
Sol/Lull because he is who he is!
**[17:39] (Flashback) Nya**
I've forgotten a lot of things.
**[17:41] (Flashback) Nya**
I don't even remember why I wanted to
**[17:44] (Flashback) Nya**
join the zodiac in the first place, but—
**[17:49] (Flashback) Nya**
Wh-When I'm with Takeru,
**[17:52] (Flashback) Nya**
sesame oil tastes better,
**[17:54] (Flashback) Nya**
hot baths feel nicer,
**[17:56] (Flashback) Nya**
and breakfast and trips out of the
house and everything else is fun!
**[18:00] (Flashback) Nya**
It's because Takeru is with me
**[18:02] (Flashback) Nya**
that I can give all I've got to making my
dream of joining the zodiac come true!
**[18:06] (Flashback) Nya**
He's not a battery!
**[18:08] (Flashback) Nya**
I can believe that because he's Takeru!
***SIGN*** Cat
**[18:50] Takeru**
Nya-tan's gotten stronger, huh?
**[18:53] Shar**
You've been watching her, I see.
**[18:54] Shar**
I believe Nya-tan trusts you.
**[18:56] Takeru**
Trusts me? You think so?
**[18:59] Shar**
By becoming involved with a human like you,
**[19:02] Shar**
Nya-tan changed.
**[19:04] Shar**
You changed, as well.
**[19:07] Shar**
Lives change by becoming
involved with other lives.
**[19:11] Shar**
But those changes
**[19:13] Shar**
may not always be for the better.
**[19:18] Takeru**
Looks like we're done with the review.
**[19:20] Shar**
Yes.
**[19:21] Takeru**
Um... And the antidote...?
**[19:23] Shar**
It wasn't here, it seems.
**[19:25] Takeru**
You didn't even look for it, did you?
**[19:28] Shar**
Let's search there next.
**[19:38] Takeru**
What is this?
**[19:40] Shar**
This is Nya-tan's shrine.
**[19:42] Takeru**
What? This place?
**[19:44] Shar**
It must be because her soul
hasn't completely regenerated.
**[19:49] Shar**
Oh?
**[19:50] Takeru**
Sol/Lull? No, it's not...
**[19:53] Takeru**
Nya-tan's... memories?
**[19:56] Takeru**
What does this mean?
**[19:58] Takeru**
If we take these back to Nya-tan,
**[20:01] Takeru**
will she remember more?
**[20:03] Shar**
Why would you make her remember?
**[20:06] Shar**
Something sad may have happened.
**[20:08] Shar**
Do you want to have a part in
the things she's sealed away?
**[20:13] Takeru**
I'm not a god or an Eto-musume,
**[20:15] Takeru**
so maybe it's strange for me to say...
**[20:18] Takeru**
But I'm the one able to support
Nya-tan the most right now,
**[20:21] Takeru**
aren't I?
**[20:23] Shar**
When on a journey, everyone
experiences meetings,
**[20:26] Shar**
partings, and lessons.
**[20:29] Shar**
And they halt the train at the stop
they've found just for themselves.
**[20:32] Shar**
I only wanted to see what stop
you would find, Takeru.
**[20:37] Takeru**
I want to see all of Nya-tan's
memories here before I go back.
**[20:41] Shar**
That's not possible.
**[20:42] Shar**
This place will soon disappear.
**[20:45] Takeru**
What?
**[20:49] Voice**
Shar-tan's special curry is done.
**[20:53] Shar**
It's finally finished.
**[20:55] ---**
**[20:58] Takeru**
Wow. Looks tasty.
**[21:00] Shar**
This curry is the antidote.
**[21:02] Takeru**
You're kidding me!
**[21:03] Shar**
It needs plenty of time to cook
in order to undo petrification.
**[21:07] Shar**
Oh... The bay leaves you
grew are in it, too.
**[21:10] Shar**
They should actually be removed
before the roux goes in.
**[21:13] Takeru**
Wait, you're not saying this whole journey
**[21:15] Takeru**
was to kill time while the
curry cooked, are you?
**[21:19] Shar**
That may be, or it may not be.

Eat up.

Hot! That's hot!
**[21:49] Nya**
It burned my tongue...
**[21:50] Takeru**
Oh, good... You're back.
**[21:52] Nya**
What happened?
**[21:53] Takeru**
Look, Shar-tan gave me her Sol/Lull Seal.
**[21:54] Shar**
*Takeru...*

*If anyone can touch the*

Hang on. I'll take mine off.

**[02:46] Uma**
Be sure you're ready!
**[02:48] Shima**
Oh, the Manager's Cup?
It's that time already?
**[02:52] Uma**
Please don't shorten it to "Manager's Cup"!
**[02:55] Uma**
It's the Takamagahara Commemorative
Maid Café Eto Manager's Cup.
**[02:58] Uma**
The Takamagahara Commemorative
Maid Café Eto Manager's Cup!
**[03:02] Dora**
You sound awfully haughty.
**[03:04] Uma**
Of course I do!
**[03:06] Uma**
We must make this year's
Takamagahara Commemorative
**[03:09] Uma**
Maid Café Eto Manager's Cup exciting!
**[03:12] Takeru**
U-Um...
**[03:14] Takeru**
Sorry. What is this "Manager's Cup"?
**[03:18] Uma**
*I knew it!*
**[03:22] Takeru**
Huh? Wh-What's wrong?
**[03:25] Uma**
It's all right, Takeru-san.
**[03:27] Uma**
This is my own fault.
***SIGN*** Takamagahara Commemorative Maid Café Eto Manager's Cup
**[03:30] Uma**
The Takamagahara Commemorative
Maid Café Eto Manager's Cup
**[03:33] Uma**
is a historical ritual in the Eto realm,
**[03:35] Uma**
and I'm the Eto-shin in charge
of this very important event.
***SIGN*** stick
**[03:39] Uma**
Yet...
***SIGN*** Takamagahara Commemorative Maid Café Eto Manager's Cup God Viewership Ratings
**[03:40] Uma**
As you can see, the viewers
among the gods have plummeted.
**[03:44] Uma**
The previous Takamagahara
Commemorative Maid Café Eto
**[03:48] Uma**
Manager's Cup only earned a rating of 1.8%.
**[03:50] Uma**
If it drops below 1%, it will be canceled!
**[03:54] Takeru**
God viewership rating?
**[03:56] Uri**
It's what it sounds like:
the number of gods who watch it.
**[03:59] Uri**
All divine rituals are
overseen by the many gods.
**[04:02] Uri**
The more important or noteworthy the ritual,
**[04:05] Uri**
the higher the god ratings.
**[04:08] Takeru**
Oh...
**[04:09] Shar**
You are included in the god
viewership rating, as well.
**[04:11] Takeru**
Huh?
**[04:12] Shar**
You watch the ETM12 on the
Sol/Lull TV, do you not?
**[04:16] Shar**
That registers as god viewership.
**[04:20] Takeru**
Really? I'm not a god, though...
**[04:22] Mei**
You're a unique situation, Takeru-san.
**[04:25] Shima**
Yeah. Normally the Sol/Lull TV is
**[04:27] Shima**
only summoned in front of gods.
**[04:29] Shima**
So if there's a boring ritual
or dull program on,
**[04:32] Shima**
the gods turn the Sol/Lull TV off.
**[04:35] Uma**
The process isn't that simple!
***SIGN*** Takamagahara Commemorative Maid Café Eto Manager's Cup
**[04:38] Uma**
Now, instead of watching in
real time, many gods record it,
**[04:41] Uma**
or watch via methods that
**[04:43] Uma**
aren't reflected in the ratings...
**[04:45] Uri**
Incidentally, I prefer to record things
and watch them at my leisure.
**[04:49] InuKey**
Ditto!
**[04:50] Uma**
And that's why our god
ratings are dropping!
**[04:53] Key**
Shows just keep piling up before
I can watch them, though.
**[04:56] Inu**
Yeah, and then I can't be bothered
to watch and just delete them.
**[04:59] Usa**
Oh, if you buy the Blu-rays,
that won't happen.
**[05:02] Key**
I'm not buying those.
I don't have the money.
**[05:05] Inu**
And I don't have anywhere to put them.
**[05:06] Usa**
People like you are the reason
there's so much insecurity in this industry!
**[05:10] Usa**
Buy the discs!
**[05:11] Usa**
Show proper gratitude to
the staff who sweat blood
**[05:14] Usa**
and wipe their tears with more
tears producing these things!
**[05:17] Usa**
Don't just watch with a dumb look on
your face! If you watch it, buy it!
**[05:20] Usa**
Money needs to be put into
circulation in this world!
**[05:22] InuKey**
U-Uh... Right...
**[05:25] Usa**
I'm saying—
**[05:27] Uma**
Save that discussion for next time.
**[05:30] Uma**
I'm talking about something much
more important right now.
**[05:34] Takeru**
Wow. She doesn't just freak out,
**[05:37] Takeru**
but actually takes charge
when she needs to.
**[05:40] Uri**
Of all the Chinese zodiac,
**[05:42] Uri**
Uma-tan is among the one
or two most serious.
**[05:45] Uri**
In other words, she's the type
that's a pain to deal with.
**[05:48] Takeru**
You didn't have to add that last part...
**[05:50] Uma**
I'm a pain to deal with?!
**[05:52] Uri**
See?
**[05:53] Takeru**
Don't say that!
**[05:55] Takeru**
It's because you said
something so venomous!
**[05:57] Takeru**
Er, I wasn't talking about you, Shar-tan.
**[06:00] Mei**
Ah, that's my Takeru-san!
**[06:03] Mei**
What a thoughtful follow-up!
You're so wonderful!
**[06:05] Takeru**
Uh, it's nothing to swoon about...
**[06:08] Takeru**
Come on, stop crying!
**[06:10] Takeru**
Jeez, comebacks are a full-time job when
**[06:12] Takeru**
the entire cast is here for once...
**[06:15] Uma**
A-Anyway, the average god
rating for this year's
**[06:18] Uma**
Takamagahara Commemorative
Maid Café Eto Manager's Cup
**[06:19] Uma**
will determine the fate of the
**[06:23] Uma**
Takamagahara Commemorative Maid
Café Eto Manager's Cup!
**[06:27] Uma**
If it does end up being canceled...
**[06:29] Uma**
As it is, people say the zodiac animals from
"horse" onward have an unpleasant sound...
**[06:34] Uma**
but I'll be unable to do
my job as an Eto-shin,
***SIGN*** Takamagahara Commemorative Maid Café Eto Manager's Cup
**[06:36] Uma**
and there'll be no meaning to my existence!
**[06:40] Nya**
No meaning? You're exaggerating!
**[06:43] Nya**
If you want god ratings, just strip!
**[06:45] Mo**
Take it off!
**[06:47] Mo**
I wanna see Nya-tan fully nude! Come on!
**[06:52] Mo**
I'll take 'em off for you!
**[06:55] Mo**
I got a treasure!
**[06:57] Nya**
Not happening!
**[06:58] Mo**
Ouch!
**[06:59] Mo**
But that was pretty nice, too...
**[07:02] Nya**
Get lost, pervert!
**[07:05] Uma**
A vulgar idea such as nudity
is out of the question.
**[07:09] Uma**
We must make this a thrilling race that
**[07:11] Uma**
will resonate directly
in the god ratings.
**[07:14] Uma**
I can't say this too loud,
**[07:16] Uma**
but this is a raging battle
against the gods!
**[07:20] Uma**
Now, everyone, until the start
of the race, let us discuss—
**[07:25] Uma**
E-Everyone?
**[07:27] Inu**
I just can't get fired up about this.
**[07:29] Key**
It's kinda tiring.
**[07:31] Nya**
Instead of humiliating yourself fighting
for it, you should just call it off.
**[07:34] Piyo**
You're not even one of the zodiac,
stupid cat! This isn't your business!
**[07:38] Piyo**
Stay out of it!
**[07:39] Nya**
Huh? But even if you bust your butt to win,
**[07:42] Nya**
there's no prize or anything.
**[07:44] Uma**
Of course there isn't.
**[07:46] Uma**
There's meaning in seeing the
race through to the end!
**[07:50] Nya**
What a boring race!
**[07:52] Uma**
It's not an issue of whether
it's boring or not!
**[07:56] Manager**
Enough insolent talk!
**[08:02] Uma**
Manager!
**[08:04] Manager**
However, the cat does have a point.
**[08:06] Manager**
If they are unmotivated,
we just need to motivate them!
**[08:10] Manager**
For this year's Takamagahara Commemorative
**[08:12] Manager**
Maid Café Eto Manager's Cup,
**[08:16] Manager**
I will...
**[08:19] Manager**
grant...
**[08:22] Manager**
the winner's wish!
**[08:25] Key**
For real?!
**[08:25] Inu**
What brought that reward on?!
**[08:27] Takeru**
Grant their wish? You're
talking like you're a god...
**[08:31] Manager**
If you doubt me, I will show you
**[08:34] Manager**
my true form!
**[08:46] Manager**
I am the manager.
**[08:49] Takeru**
Wh-What is this?
**[08:51] Nya**
Meow! That's the coffee cup
I broke and then hid!
**[08:57] Nya**
It's fixed!
**[08:59] Manager**
May there be light for all.
**[09:03] Nya**
Meow, meow! That's the dying
bird I've been caring for!
**[09:07] Manager**
Live alongside me, little one.
**[09:13] Nya**
It's fixed!
**[09:15] Nya**
Meow! That's yesterday's leftover
meat and potato stew!
**[09:18] Manager**
Become delicious.
**[09:23] Shar**
It's been remade into curry.
**[09:26] All**
Super tasty!
**[09:31] Shar**
Impressive as always, Manager.
**[09:33] Takeru**
She's right. You really are
amazing, Mr. Manager.
**[09:36] Manager**
Well, I did create Japan, after all.
**[09:39] Nya**
Anyway, now I know you
can perform any miracle,
**[09:43] Nya**
from bringing back the dead to
reusing meat and potato stew!
**[09:45] Key**
That means...
**[09:46] Mo**
Granting our wishes will be easy!

Well, Chu-tan didn't show up!

Be quiet.

You're still only an Eto-musume.
**[12:37] Usa**
This race is a sacred divine ritual.

Someone who isn't an Eto-shin can't just—

The Raw-Barley-Raw-Rice-Raw-Gods Curve is
**[14:06] Uri**
the toughest part of the course.
**[14:08] Mei**
Takeru-san, no... You can't do that...
**[14:09] Uri**
I can't believe she took it from
the outside without stopping her

secondary turbine by caramelizing
it with a split twist lift!
**[14:13] Mei**
But... If it's you, Takeru-san...
**[14:15] Takeru**
You just made that more aromatic
at the end by boiling sugar...

Oh, no!

We can't take our eyes off this race.

*Hey, there!*

*So what are both of your wishes?*

That's obvious! To join the zodiac!

Ah, no...

**[20:05] Uma**
Thank you.
**[20:07] Uma**
Because of you, I realized something.
**[20:11] Uma**
A divine ritual should be carried
out for the gods and the people,
**[20:14] Uma**
with all of your heart,
and with the greatest joy.
**[20:18] Uma**
I was so fixated on god viewership ratings
**[20:20] Uma**
that I forgot the true
meaning of the ritual...
**[20:24] Uma**
There was no way such a ritual
could be successful.
**[20:28] Uma**
I'm so ashamed.
**[20:30] Nya**
I don't think you need to be so sad.
**[20:33] Nya**
You did your best.
**[20:35] Nya**
I probably couldn't have
worked so hard on my own.
**[20:39] Nya**
You were amazing, Uma-tan!
**[20:41] Nya**
I was totally frantic!
**[20:43] Nya**
So, um, I mean...
**[20:45] Nya**
You don't have to worry!

And anyway, it was fun!

Thanks, Uma-tan!

Nya-tan...
**[20:58] Nya**
What is it?
**[20:59] Takeru**
Uh... Your clothes..
**[21:01] Nya**
My clothes?
**[21:02] Uri**
She used up so much Sol/Lull,
**[21:04] Uri**
she can't even keep clothes on.

Oh, yes!

Come on, baby!

Whoa, wait!

to the guts Nya-tan showed
crossing the finish line,

sent the god viewership
ratings through the roof.

You think you can beat Chu-tan?

The strongest of the Eto-shin?
**[03:03] Piyo**
How? Do you have a plan?
**[03:05] Piyo**
Do you have the confidence?
Do you have any basis to back that up?

Don't underestimate shogi.

Shogi is the universe.

Okay, anyway, the Sol/Lull Seal battle—
**[03:43] Takeru**
I'm saying...
**[03:44] Takeru**
Wait, Nya-tan.
**[03:47] Nya**
Why?
**[03:49] Takeru**
You don't know anything about shogi yet.

You should first play a casual game

with Piyo-tan, unbound by rules.
***SIGN*** King

What?

Why? How did I lose?
**[04:47] Takeru**
When your king is cornered, you lose.
**[04:50] Piyo**
This is not worth my time.
**[04:52] Piyo**
You can never defeat me with
that childish mentality.
**[04:56] Nya**
Don't lecture me like some bigshot
over a dumb game like shogi!
**[05:01] Takeru**
Nya-tan, shogi is not a "dumb game."
**[05:04] Takeru**
Shogi is the universe.
**[05:06] Nya**
Sorry, Takeru, you keep saying that,
**[05:09] Nya**
but I have no idea what it means.
**[05:11] Piyo**
Indeed...
**[05:12] Piyo**
Shogi is the universe.

Shogi is numbers, flow, and logic.

Within that framework,
energy streams outward,

never breaking, always upholding the rules.

Shogi is body, mind, and existence itself.
**[05:36] Piyo**
It is all living things in
this world materialized.
**[05:40] Piyo**
It is born and grows within us,
**[05:43] Piyo**
sometimes changing as we
battle with ourselves.
**[05:46] Piyo**
It is eternal.
**[05:48] Piyo**
It only makes sense to liken such a thing to
**[05:51] Piyo**
the universe that gave our
world its beginning.
**[05:53] Nya**
Um, um...
**[05:55] Nya**
Okay, just take three steps
and forget everythi—
**[05:58] Takeru**
You can't pretend it never happened
**[06:00] Takeru**
just because it's turned into a pain.
**[06:03] Nya**
I'll make you see that no matter
what cool things you say,
**[06:05] Nya**
you'll forget it instantly anyway!
**[06:08] Piyo**
I know that!
**[06:10] Piyo**
Once I take three steps, I forget.
**[06:13] Piyo**
I forget almost everything.
**[06:15] Piyo**
But as is the nature of the rooster clan,
**[06:17] Piyo**
only negative emotions remain in me forever,
**[06:20] Piyo**
piling higher and higher.

When I was about to be engulfed

only shogi could save me.
**[06:27] Piyo**
While playing shogi, I can become empty.
**[06:30] Piyo**
By playing shogi, I can be myself.

Takeru! Train me in how to play shogi!
***SIGN*** Menacing
**[06:54] Nya**
I won't lose to that chicken who
falls flat off the starting line!
**[06:57] Piyo**
Interesting.
**[06:58] Piyo**
Then, when your training is
complete, I'll play you again.
**[07:01] Piyo**
With our Sol/Lull Seals
on the line this time.
**[07:04] Nya**
All right! I'll be waiting!
**[07:11] Nya**
Takeru, train me!
**[07:16] Takeru**
Nya-tan, you already know how
each piece moves, right?
**[07:21] Nya**
Of course I do! Perfectly!
**[07:23] Inu**
That's a huge shogi board!
**[07:25] Dora**
I made it with my Sol/Lull.
**[07:27] Dora**
It's my special Shogi
Master Training Board.
**[07:31] Takeru**
Okay, start with the pawn!
**[07:32] [SONG] Text**
Pawn
**[07:32] Nya**
Pawn!
**[07:33] Nya**
Pawn, pawn...
**[07:38] Takeru**
The pawn can only move forward
one space at a time!
**[07:41] Key**
Scary...
**[07:42] Shima**
Making her learn shogi physically, huh?
**[07:44] Uri**
That shogi board is the
materialization of what happens
**[07:46] Uri**
when Takeru-san gets serious,
expressed through the power of Eto-shin.
***SIGN*** Rook
**[07:50] Takeru**
Next, the rook!
**[07:52] Nya**
Hi-meow!
**[07:55] Takeru**
The rook can only move up,
down, left, or right!
***SIGN*** Bishop
**[07:58] Nya**
Hot!
**[07:59] Takeru**
The bishop can move any number
of spaces diagonally!
***SIGN*** Silver General
**[08:02] Nya**
Hot again!
**[08:04] Takeru**
Silver can only move one space
forward or diagonally!
***SIGN*** Gold General
**[08:07] Nya**
Uri!
**[08:09] Takeru**
Gold can move one space in any
direction but diagonally backwards!
***SIGN*** Knight
**[08:12] Nya**
Horse!
**[08:13] Takeru**
The knight moves two spaces forward,
then one space to either left or right!
***SIGN*** Lance
***SIGN*** Eek!
**[08:17] Nya**
Cow!
**[08:18] Takeru**
The lance moves straight ahead!
***SIGN*** Eek!
**[08:21] Takeru**
By the way, kings can move
one space in any direction!
***SIGN*** Pant Pant
**[08:27] Nya**
Shogi... is terrifying...
***SIGN*** Pant Pant
**[08:30] Takeru**
Have you learned how the pieces move now?
**[08:33] Inu**
She's totally learned it.
**[08:34] Key**
In the form of trauma.
**[08:36] Dora**
So this training is to make
her learn it physically
**[08:38] Dora**
as well as to train her mentally, then?
**[08:41] Shima**
Get a little stronger now
while ya can, Nya-tan.
**[08:45] Takeru**
That's it for today!
**[08:47] Takeru**
All right, let's begin today's training.
**[08:50] Nya**
Okay!
**[08:54] Takeru**
Today, we'll use Dora-tan's special
**[08:56] Takeru**
Shogi Master Training Screen Door Board
**[08:59] Takeru**
to play blindfolded shogi.
**[09:01] Nya**
Blindfolded shogi?
**[09:03] Takeru**
You play shogi in your head.
**[09:06] Takeru**
Picture the shogi board, imagine your hand,
**[09:09] Takeru**
and predict the opponent's moves.
**[09:10] Nya**
I can't do that!
**[09:12] Takeru**
If you can't do this,
you can never beat Piyo-tan.
**[09:17] Nya**
Okay, fine! I'll do it!
**[09:19] Nya**
7-6, pawn!
**[09:22] Takeru**
Then I'll...
**[09:23] Nya**
Where? Where?!
**[09:27] Nya**
That's dangerous!
**[09:28] Takeru**
That was 8-4, pawn.
**[09:30] Takeru**
You need to predict where I'll move
and dodge it, or you'll be stabbed.
**[09:34] Uri**
Yep, yep!
**[09:35] Nya**
Are you serious?
**[09:36] Nya**
In that case...
**[09:37] Nya**
6-8, silver!
**[09:40] Takeru**
6-2, silver!
**[09:42] Takreu**
That one might have been easy to predict.
**[09:45] Nya**
5-6, pawn!
**[09:49] Takeru**
That was 5-4, pawn!
**[09:55] Nya**
Hey, you boar!
**[09:56] Uri**
I just added a little spice to it.
**[09:58] Nya**
Don't spice it up without warning!
**[10:00] Nya**
And you know, I can't
think calmly like this!
**[10:03] Takeru**
You won't always be in situations
where you can think calmly!
**[10:07] Takeru**
Come on! We're not stopping
until the sun goes down!
**[10:09] Mo**
Nya-tan, you can do it!

Introduction to Basic Shogi Moves
**[10:15] Takeru**
The quickest way to learn how to play shogi
**[10:18] Takeru**
is to memorize all the shogi proverbs.
***SIGN*** Certain Victory
***SIGN*** Book of Shogi Proverbs
**[10:21] Nya**
There are so many complicated words...
**[10:24] Takeru**
The strategies themselves are often
expressed in these proverbs.
**[10:28] Takeru**
So you should...
**[10:36] Takeru**
I think that's all for today.
***SIGN***
If an Eto-musume collects Sol/Lull Seals from all of the Eto-shin,
she will be promoted to Eto-shin. The newly-promoted Eto-shin
earns the right to demote one Eto-shin to Eto-musume.
***SIGN***
The Zodiac Precepts protect the chaste souls of the Eto
and govern the Eto-shin Selection Festival (ETM12).
Any Eto-musume who violates these Precepts
will be judged by the Conference of Gods.
**[10:51] Nya**
Here I come!
**[10:55] Takeru**
Don't give up!
**[10:56] Takeru**
Hold on to the powerful
desire to play shogi!
**[11:05] Takeru**
Nya-tan! With a half-hearted attitude,
**[11:07] Takeru**
you can't even touch a shogi board!
**[11:10] Nya**
One more time! Here I come!
**[11:15] Takeru**
You're not feeling it enough!
**[11:17] Nya**
I won't lose...
**[11:20] Nya**
I won't lose!
**[11:23] Takeru**
3-4, pawn!
**[11:25] Nya**

**[12:47] Nya**
7-6, pawn!
**[12:48] Takeru**
*The fight's on!*
**[12:56] Nya**
Your move is 2-2, silver.
**[13:00] Takeru**
Well done, Nya-tan!
**[13:02] Takeru**
You read my moves perfectly!
**[13:06] Nya**
Shogi is all about getting
into your opponent's head.
**[13:10] Nya**
Knowing what your opponent is thinking,
**[13:12] Nya**
and how you should fight them...
**[13:15] Nya**
To always have an eye on the future.
**[13:17] Takeru**
That's how you read their moves.
**[13:20] Takeru**
Let's play a game tonight.
**[13:22] Nya**
Okay.
**[13:24] Inu**
We've been totally left behind, haven't we?
**[13:27] Key**
Yeah.
**[14:00] Nya**
This is...
**[14:12] Takeru**
You've done well to come this far.
**[14:13] Nya**
Takeru, shogi is really fun.
**[14:17] Takeru**

**[14:19] Nya**
I was playing
**[14:20] Nya**
against myself just now.
**[14:23] Takeru**
Yes... That's why shogi is the universe.

The battle begins with a pawn's sacrifice.
**[16:01] Key**
Um...
**[16:02] Inu**
What are they talking about?
**[16:04] Takeru**
Nya-tan said, "If you get careless because
**[16:07] Takeru**
you think I'm a lower rank, you'll lose."
**[16:10] Takeru**
And Piyo-tan said,
"That confidence just because
**[16:13] Takeru**
you can play shogi a little now
**[16:15] Takeru**
is what will bring about your defeat."

No, the nekodamashi isn't
a tricky move at all.
**[16:41] Takeru**
The patterns of moves that could
begin here are infinite.
**[16:44] Nya**
A moment ago, you said your
moves are motionless.
**[16:49] Nya**
My moves are nomadic.
**[16:51] Nya**
I allow them to dance as
freely as they wish.
**[16:55] Takeru**
*Nya-tan, your moves are building up a flow!*
**[17:06] Takeru**
This is good! Nya-tan has the advantage!
**[17:18] Piyo**

***SIGN*** Torisashi
**[17:28] Key**
What happened?
**[17:30] Inu**
I have no idea!

turned the tide of this game.
**[17:35] InuKey**
What?!
**[17:36] Shima**
How? What's going on?
**[18:01] Piyo**
You were drifting about within
**[18:03] Piyo**
the flow that I created.
**[18:07] Piyo**
You thought you had arrived
on the other side,
**[18:10] Piyo**
but you were still adrift in the
midst of this great river.
**[18:14] Key**
Is Nya-tan gonna lose?
**[18:17] Takeru**
It'll be really difficult to get
out of her current position.
**[18:21] Takeru**
Honestly, in the same position,
I'd have no plan.
**[18:23] All**
What?!
**[18:24] Shima**
Well, I dunno what's goin' on,
**[18:26] Shima**
but this is turnin' into
one intense battle.
**[18:30] Dora**
Yes, this isn't like Nya-tan at all.

*I might have been suppressing what's*
**[18:36] Takeru**
*great about Nya-tan...*
**[18:39] Takeru**
* Nya-tan! There's a saying*
* I haven't taught you yet!*
**[18:43] Takeru**
If you learn this proverb too soon,
**[18:45] Takeru**
you can never learn to play shogi properly.
**[18:48] Takeru**
That's why I didn't tell you.

**[19:05] Takeru**
That's what the proverb means.

A master needs no patterns...
**[19:11] Nya**
That's right!
**[19:17] Nya**
* To walk the magnificent path of the*

**[05:00] Nya**
Because you shampoo your hair
on rainy days, of course.
**[05:03] Mo**
That's right!
**[05:04] Takeru**
None of this actually tells
me what happened...
**[05:07] Mo**
Nya-tan proposed to me!
**[05:10] Takeru**
Huh?
**[05:11] Nya**
I don't remember at all.
**[05:12] Mo**
It was a proposal! For sure!
**[05:16] Nya**
The way perverts can fill in mental blanks
exceeds the comprehension of normal people.
**[05:20] Takeru**
I don't know what really happened,
**[05:22] Takeru**
but I think not remembering you proposed
**[05:24] Takeru**
to someone is pretty cruel.
**[05:26] Mo**
It's all right.
**[05:29] Mo**
The fact she could say it
naturally enough to forget about it
**[05:32] Mo**
makes me so happy.
**[05:35] Mo**
Also...
***SIGN*** Tape Player
**[05:37] Mo**
I recorded it with this tape player,
so there's no problem!
**[05:40] Nya**
What?!
**[05:42] Takeru**
Wow, she has physical evidence...
**[05:44] Nya**
Give me that!
**[05:45] Mo**
Okay,
**[05:47] Mo**
but only if you'll trade your socks for it.
**[05:51] Mo**
What'll it be?
**[05:52] Nya**
Grr...
**[05:54] Nya**
O-Okay, fine...
***SIGN*** th Sock
**[06:05] Mo**
I got my 67th sock from Nya-tan!
**[06:08] Takeru**
You've gotten a lot...
**[06:10] Nya**
Now to destroy the evidence!
**[06:12] Mo**
By the way...
**[06:13] Mo**
I have infinite copies.
**[06:15] Nya**
What?!
**[06:16] Takeru**
Well, that's what most people would do.
**[06:20] Mo**
Tonight I'll have a drink
with this on the side!
**[06:23] Nya**
Wait!
**[06:25] Mo**
I'm through waiting.
**[06:27] Mo**
This is my dream...
**[06:29] Mo**
My dream is to make a bed
cover from Nya-tan's socks!
**[06:33] Mo**
Then I can smell Nya-tan all the time!
**[06:36] Nya**
Don't talk about dreams
no one asked to hear!
**[06:38] Mo**
See you!
**[06:41] Nya**
She's the ultimate pervert.
***SIGN*** Making Preparations

***SIGN*** Today's Original Menu: Our Special Curry
**[06:45] Shima**
Did ya see that urgent news?
**[06:48] Shima**
I never thought it would
actually be implemented.
**[06:51] Dora**
The thirteenth Zodiac Precept...
**[06:54] Dora**
Third parties will no longer be permitted
to intervene in Sol/Lull battles.
**[06:59] Shima**
Chu-tan's about to make her move.
**[07:02] Uri**
This happened because I butted in...
**[07:04] Dora**
You weren't butting in.
**[07:07] Dora**
If you hadn't rushed in to save her,
**[07:09] Dora**
Nya-tan would've been destroyed.
**[07:11] Shima**
But no one can rush in to help her now.
**[07:14] Dora**
Indeed.
**[07:15] Dora**
At this point, all we can do is
count on Nya-tan's own strength.
**[07:21] Shima**
What? Ya don't look convinced.
**[07:24] Uri**
Nya-tan's strength now doesn't
even compare to her strength
**[07:27] Uri**
when she fought you at
Takeru-san's house.
**[07:30] Shima**
That's right. She's stronger now.
**[07:33] Dora**
Yes, Nya-tan has grown stronger.
**[07:36] Dora**
Almost strong enough that I wouldn't
mind giving her my Sol/Lull Seal.
**[07:39] Shima**
Then—
**[07:39] Dora**
However...
**[07:41] Dora**
What has me a little concerned
**[07:43] Dora**
is Nya-tan's amnesia.
**[07:46] Dora**
I have a feeling that somewhere
in her lost memories
**[07:49] Dora**
lies the key to determining the future.
**[07:52] Dora**
And there's Chu-tan's strength, as well.
**[07:55] Dora**
It already surpasses
anything we can imagine.
**[08:01] Uri**
She's that strong?
**[08:02] Dora**
To make absolutely certain,
I want to get Nya-tan's memories back.
**[08:08] Shima**
All right.
**[08:16] Mo**
There's really no place like home.
**[08:21] Mo**
As thanks for this,
**[08:22] Mo**
I'll make my honey a grand dinner
**[08:24] Mo**
using produce from my homeland.
**[08:32] Nya**
What'd you do that for?!
**[08:33] Dora**
There was a mosquito.
**[08:35] Nya**
Oh! Thank you, Master!
**[08:37] Dora**
I guess that isn't enough
to get her memories back.
**[08:41] Takeru**
Um, what are you doing?
**[08:43] Shima**
We're gonna be living here from now on.
**[08:46] Takeru**
What?
**[08:47] Shima**
Oh, don't mind us.
**[08:49] Shima**
We'll build our own rooms
with Dora-tan's Sol/Lull.
**[08:52] Takeru**
Uh, no, the problem isn't
anything physical like that...
**[08:56] Takeru**
Ah, the mysteries of feminine appeal.
**[08:58] Key**
Dora-tan and Shima-tan are gonna live here?
**[09:01] Dora**
Yes.
**[09:05] InuKey**
What just happened?!
**[09:10] Nya**
I guess there was a mosquito...
**[09:12] Key**
Seriously?
**[09:13] Inu**
No way.
**[09:14] Dora**
Even my Ryuusen Bashou didn't work?
**[09:17] Uri**
Then...
***SIGN*** Sesame Oil
**[09:18] Uri**
Try this five-gallon can

**[09:20] Uri**
I'm sure the god of sesame
oil will work a miracle...
**[09:22] Takeru**
Are you guys...
**[09:24] Takeru**
trying to get Nya-tan's memories back?
**[09:27] Takeru**
And with such classic methods...
**[09:30] Takeru**
Why all of a sudden?
**[09:32] Dora**
Chu-tan is on the move again.
**[09:36] Uri**
To avoid the worst case scenario,
**[09:38] Uri**
we thought it would be best to get
**[09:41] Uri**
Nya-tan her memories back
as we protect her.
**[09:45] Takeru**
*Nya-tan's memories...*
**[09:48] Takeru**
*Something important might*
**[09:50] Takeru**
*really be hidden in her memories.*
**[09:53] Nya**
Meow...
**[09:55] Nya**
Meow?
**[09:57] Nya**
It's raining!
***SIGN***

Garlic, mountain yams,

Oh, yes!
**[10:38] Mo**
I'll catch all of Nya-tan's overflowing libido!
**[10:44] Mo**
Whoops.
**[10:45] Mo**
Here I am writhing around by
myself again, and in this rain.
**[11:01] Mo**
What gentle lights...
**[11:06] Nya**
It's raining pretty hard now.
**[11:07] Key**
We can't play outside.
**[11:09] Inu**
Yeah.
**[11:22] Takeru**
I should've known... There's nothing on it.
**[11:41] Nya**
Whose graves are those?
**[11:44] Mo**
Nya-tan! When did you get back
from your nomadic journey?
**[11:48] Nya**
Just now.
**[11:50] Nya**
Water is precious, you know.
**[11:52] Nya**
Since it's raining,
I decided to have a bath.
**[11:55] Nya**
So, whose graves are those?
**[11:59] Mo**
My family's.
**[12:01] Nya**
Oh, I heard about that from Chu-tan.
**[12:04] Nya**
You join human families and live with them.
**[12:08] Mo**
But everyone in my family dies before me.
**[12:12] Nya**
Well, human life is limited.
**[12:15] Nya**
They can't stay with you forever.
**[12:17] Mo**
Understand...
**[12:19] Mo**
But... I'm sad.
**[12:21] Mo**
I have many happy experiences
living with them,
**[12:25] Mo**
but it's sad when I have to say goodbye.
**[12:29] Nya**
But you won't stop living
with human families?
**[12:32] Mo**
I just hope I can make
**[12:34] Mo**
a few more humans smile by
joining their families.
**[12:41] Nya**
If you want to make people smile,
**[12:44] Nya**
I think you need to smile more yourself.
**[12:50] Mo**
What?!
**[12:51] Mo**
What are you doing?
**[12:54] Nya**
I'm gonna wash away your tears
and put a smile on your face!
**[12:57] Mo**
You don't have to do that!
**[12:59] Mo**
I'll just get sad again...
**[13:01] Nya**
Then I'll be your family, too!
**[13:04] Nya**
I won't die, so you don't have to worry.
**[13:07] Nya**
I'll always smile with you!
**[13:09] Nya**
What do you think? It's a great idea!
**[13:11] Mo**
Nya-tan...
**[13:16] Mo**
Thank you.
**[13:22] Mo**
Nya-tan...
**[13:24] Mo**
I pray that I can be
**[13:26] Mo**
with Nya-tan forever, and...
**[13:29] Mo**
That we can be more lovey-dovey and
have a more medium-rare relationship!
**[13:40] Mo**
Where are you planning to go with
such a mean look on your face?
**[13:44] Chu**
I have only one goal.
**[13:46] Chu**
To destroy the cat clan.
**[13:55] Chu**
Out of my way.
**[13:56] Mo**
That's not going to happen.
**[13:58] Chu**
Then I will destroy you, as well.
**[14:00] Mo**
That's not going to happen, either.
**[14:03] Chu**
You were defeated by the cat.
**[14:05] Chu**
I don't have to listen to
your frivolous chatter.
**[14:07] Mo**
That's right. I lost to Nya-tan.
**[14:11] Mo**
But...
**[14:13] Mo**
I won't lose to anyone else.
**[14:17] Chu**
Very well.
**[14:19] Chu**
There's something I want to test, anyway.
**[14:23] Mo**
Start the battle!
**[14:25] Chu**
Etotama! Sol/Lull Charge!

**[14:56] Dora**
Why is she fighting Mo-tan?
**[15:00] Mo**
Sorry, but...
**[15:02] Mo**
I'll be running in top gear
from the very start, okay?
**[15:08] Mo**
You'd better take this seriously,
or you can't blame me for what happens!
**[15:27] Chu**
I am always serious!
**[15:29] Mo**
What?!
**[15:33] Mo**
*Was that...*
**[15:41] Mo**
Chu-tan...
**[15:42] Mo**
What... What are you trying to do?
**[15:47] Chu**
I told you.
**[15:48] Chu**
I'm testing it on you.
**[15:51] Mo**
What?
**[15:52] Chu**
Secret technique:
**[15:53] Chu**
Etotama Kagura Senguu!
**[15:58] Dora**
Etotama Kagura Senguu?!
**[16:00] Shima**
She can use that technique?
**[16:02] Nya**
What is that?
***SIGN*** Kagura Senguu
**[16:03] Dora**
Kagura Senguu is a forbidden ritual that
**[16:06] Dora**
only the gods can perform.
***SIGN*** Cat
**[16:09] Shima**
You could call it our origin,
the creator and destroyer of Etotama.
**[16:13] Shima**
It's the work of the gods.
**[16:15] Takeru**
The gods?
**[16:16] Uri**
It looks like Chu-tan has sublimated a
**[16:19] Uri**
godly technique into an Eto-shin technique.
**[16:23] Mo**
When did you learn that technique?
**[16:25] Chu**
I don't remember.
**[16:27] Chu**
But it may have been sixty years ago.
**[16:31] Mo**
Sixty years ago?
**[16:32] Mo**
You don't mean...
In your battle with Nya-tan?!
**[16:36] Chu**
I had that cat's
**[16:38] Chu**
Etotama in my hand...
***SIGN*** Cat
**[16:41] Chu**
But...
**[16:43] Mo**
I see...
**[16:44] Mo**
So that's what happened.
**[16:46] Mo**
Nya-tan's Etotama was injured
**[16:50] Mo**
by Etotama Kagura Senguu...
**[16:54] Uri**
So that's why she only retained
parts of her memories,
**[16:57] Uri**
and ended up with amnesia.
**[17:00] Chu**
Why didn't the cat's Etotama break?
**[17:04] Mo**
Because of love!
**[17:05] Mo**
It was love! Love!
**[17:08] Chu**
Are you joking around?!
**[17:11] Mo**
I am not joking!
**[17:13] Mo**
You just haven't figured it out!
**[17:15] Chu**
Me?
**[17:17] Mo**
That's right!
**[17:18] Mo**
You loved Nya-tan, and that's why—
**[17:22] Chu**
Don't be ridiculous!
**[17:25] Mo**
Love is not ridiculous...
**[17:29] Mo**
At all!
**[17:35] Mo**
I feel the same way,
**[17:39] Mo**
so I understand!
**[17:41] Chu**
Shut up!
**[17:42] Chu**
Shut up! Shut up!
**[17:47] Mo**
A heart that wants to protect your...
**[17:50] Mo**
Beloved Nya-tan!
**[17:53] Chu**
Shut up!

***SIGN*** Kokushi Tenchuusatsu
**[18:47] Chu**
Kokushi Tenchuusatsu!
**[19:21] Chu**
Mo-tan...
**[19:23] Chu**
I will destroy you!
**[19:26] Dora**
Stop, Chu-tan!
**[19:28] Dora**
If you destroy Mo-tan, the balance
of all creation will fall apart!
**[19:32] Dor**
*If you do that, terrible things will happen*
**[19:34] Dor**
*to this country you're trying to protect!*
**[19:37] Chu**
I don't care about that.
**[19:41] Mo**
Chu-tan...
**[19:43] Mo**
Why did you become
**[19:45] Mo**
one of the zodiac?
**[19:49] Chu**
Destroy all cats.
**[19:52] Chu**
Crush them!
**[20:02] Chu**

**[00:02] Chu**
You can't!
**[00:03] Chu**
This ritual is a gathering called
by the gods themselves.
**[00:06] Chu**
If you do that, there's no telling
how you'll be punished!
**[00:10] Nya**
Well, it'll all work out.
**[00:13] Chu**
This is all right with you?
**[00:19] Chu**
I see...
**[00:21] Nya**
Good luck with the footrace
tomorrow, Chu-tan.
**[00:24] Chu**
Yeah. Thanks...
**[00:28] Chu**
Nya-tan.
**[00:41] Uma**
J-Just what I'd expect of the first
**[00:44] Uma**
Eto-shin Selection Festival...
**[00:46] Usa**
Yes. With 108 Eto-musume here,
**[00:49] Usa**
it's certainly quite the crowd.
**[00:51] Shima**
Well, the twelve guardians
who'll protect this country
**[00:53] Shima**
are gonna be chosen from all these girls.
**[00:56] Dora**
It's the birth of the first
generation of Eto-shin.
**[00:59] Piyo**
But why is it a footrace?
**[01:01] Mo**
Very exciting!
**[01:03] Mo**
I'm super confident in how fast I can run!
**[01:06] Mei**
Hmm?
**[01:07] Dora**
What is it?
**[01:09] Mei**
I don't see Nya-tan,
the cat clan's Eto-musume.
**[01:12] Key**
You're right. She's not here.
**[01:15] Inu**
She seems like she'd be all
excited to race, too...
**[01:18] Uri**
Judging by her skill,
Nya-tan is sure to place high.
**[01:21] Uri**
She's a top candidate to become
an Eto-shin, along with Chu-tan.
**[01:24] ---**
Yeah.
**[01:27] Shar**
You know something, don't you?
**[01:30] Chu**
I tricked her.
**[01:32] Shar**
What?
**[01:33] Chu**
Nya-tan won't be coming.
**[01:36] Shar**
Why would you tell such a lie?

What on Earth is going on?
**[03:41] Nya**
Um, um... It was...
**[03:45] Nya**
Mo-tan? Where are you, Mo-tan?
**[03:48] Dora**
I'll try tracking Mo-tan's Sol/Lull.
**[03:56] Shima**
Well?
**[03:57] Dora**
It's no use. I can't sense her Sol/Lull.
**[04:01] Shim**
You don't mean... She was really...
**[04:04] Inu**
...destroyed?
**[04:05] Key**
No way...
**[04:06] Takeru**
Hey...
**[04:08] Takeru**
Mo-tan will reincarnate, right?
**[04:10] Nya**
Huh?
**[04:11] Nya**
Of course she will! Right?
**[04:13] Nya**
Just like Uri-tan! She'll be back tomorrow!

Then the day after!

Or maybe she'll wait a month!
**[04:25] Nya**

**[04:27] Shima**
No. She won't.
**[04:30] Uri**
Chu-tan destroyed Mo-tan's Etotama.

Etotama is our source.

**[04:44] Takeru**
Then...
**[04:46] Nya**
I'll never see Mo-tan again?
**[05:00] Mo**
Moo!
**[05:02] Nya**
Mo-tan!
**[05:04] Mo**
Yes, my sweet honey.
**[05:08] Nya**
I saw you again right away!
**[05:11] Nya**
Who was the meanie who said
she couldn't reincarnate?
**[05:15] Mo**
I'm sorry, Nya-tan.
**[05:17] Nya**
Meow?
**[05:19] Shima**
Th-This is...
**[05:24] Mo**
I made a mistake.
**[05:26] Nya**
Huh?
**[05:27] Mo**
I got destroyed.
**[05:30] Nya**
What? But you're here!
You're right in front of me!
**[05:33] Nya**
Even if you're see-through...
**[05:35] Dora**
Residual Sol/Lull thoughts?
**[05:40] Mo**
Nya-tan, you saw my battle
with Chu-tan, didn't you?
**[05:44] Nya**
Yeah, I saw it.
**[05:46] Mo**
Good.
**[05:47] Mo**
Then you understand, right?
**[05:49] Mo**
Chu-tan's special attack,
**[05:51] Mo**
the secret technique Etotama Kagura Senguu,
**[05:53] Mo**
is a dreadful technique.
**[05:56] Mo**
If you can't defeat that technique,
**[05:59] Mo**
you'll never claim victory over Chu-tan.
**[06:01] Nya**
Th-That's right...
**[06:03] Mo**
That's why, before I gave up,
**[06:06] Mo**
I sent some of my own Sol/Lull into
Chu-tan to stop her rampage.
**[06:10] Mo**
I don't know how long my exhausted Sol/Lull
**[06:13] Mo**
can keep Chu-tan at bay,
**[06:15] Mo**
but from here...
**[06:17] Nya**
Meow?
**[06:17] Mo**
As long as you have your love
for Chu-tan, it'll be okay!
**[06:21] Nya**
Why should I?! I don't need
any love for that jerk!
**[06:26] Mo**
Not everybody can tell,
**[06:28] Mo**
but what's in here is a very
deep, powerful emotion.
**[06:32] Mo**
I know love will open the
path for you, Nya-tan.
***SIGN*** Cat
**[06:42] Mo**
Now...
**[06:44] Mo**
Goodbye, Nya-tan.
**[06:48] Shima**
Goodbye, Mo-tan...
**[06:55] Inu**
She just fell asleep!
**[06:57] Key**
What's going on?!
**[06:58] Usa**
I don't understand.
**[06:59] Piyo**
Don't just fall asleep, idiot!
**[07:02] Dora**
This is...
**[07:03] Dora**
The repair of Nya-tan's
**[07:05] Dora**
damaged Etotama has begun.
**[07:07] Shima**
Is it Mo-tan's power?
**[07:09] Dora**
Most likely.
**[07:11] Uri**
If Nya-tan's Etotama is repaired after being
**[07:13] Uri**
damaged by Etotama Kagura Senguu...
**[07:16] Uri**
That means her memories
might return, if all goes well.
**[07:20] Usa**
Will having her memories back be useful?
**[07:23] Dora**
Nya-tan possesses a knack for fighting
that even I willingly acknowledge.
**[07:27] Dora**
If her memories return, she may be
able to curb Chu-tan's rampage.
**[07:31] Inu**
You mean it? That's great!
**[07:32] Key**
With the strongest Eto-shin back,
all of this will be solved!
**[07:35] Shima**
Yep!
**[07:36] Takeru**
You all...
**[07:38] Takeru**
You all want Nya-tan to go back
to the way she was, right?
**[07:44] Uri**
If we had to say whether we do or not...
**[07:47] Uri**
We do.
**[07:49] Uri**
Nya-tan was an Eto-musume we could
**[07:51] Uri**
always count on when we needed her.
**[07:53] Uma**
It's just that she was
a bit too carefree...
**[07:56] Uma**
She always hated to be tied down.
**[08:00] Piyo**
That's probably why the stupid
cat always blew off everything
**[08:04] Piyo**
and took off on her own solo journeys.
**[08:07] Shima**
We did all we could to utilize
Nya-tan's immense power
**[08:09] Shima**
for the protection of this country...
**[08:14] Dora**
But our efforts failed.
**[08:16] Key**
I couldn't believe it when Chu-tan said
she lied and stopped Nya-tan
**[08:20] Key**
from running in the footrace.
**[08:22] Usa**
Had Nya-tan become an Eto-shin,
**[08:25] Usa**
it's unlikely she could have
done the job properly.
**[08:28] Piyo**
Which just means Chu-tan's
judgment was correct.
**[08:31] Shima**
Well, yeah, but still...
**[08:34] Takeru**
The Nya-tan from before, huh?
**[08:40] Nya**
Hey!
**[08:42] Nya**
I'm back!
**[08:43] Nya**
Everything went perfectly again this time!
**[08:47] Chu**
It did, huh?
**[08:48] Mo**
Nya-tan,
**[08:49] Mo**
we're in the middle of an
important Eto-shin meeting.
**[08:52] Nya**
Well, then! This will make the
perfect snack for your meeting!
**[08:56] Nya**
A souvenir! Here!
**[08:58] Nya**
Your souvenir is...
***SIGN*** squirm wriggle
**[09:01] Nya**
An eel!
**[09:03] Usa**
How is this an eel?!
**[09:05] Uma**
That's the tail of the
Eight-Branched Serpent!
**[09:07] Nya**
Huh?
**[09:09] Piyo**
What are you doing?!
**[09:12] Piyo**
Damn it, Nya-tan!
**[09:14] Nya**
Tee-hee!
**[09:15] Mei**
Oh, dear...
**[09:17] Key**
Chu-tan, do something.
**[09:19] Chu**
For goodness' sake...
**[09:21] Nya**
Whoopsie, whoopsie!
**[09:29] Mei**
Amazing!
**[09:30] Shar**
I expected no less.
**[09:34] Piyo**
Ow...
**[09:36] Piyo**
Hey, Nya-tan! What do you think you're—
**[09:39] Uri**
She's not here anymore.
***SIGN*** Tch
**[09:42] Inu**
What the heck was that?
**[09:43] Key**
Beats me.
**[09:44] Chu**
Always so quick to run away...
**[10:03] Mei**
She's calmed down.
**[10:06] Shar**
Yes.
**[10:07] Mei**
I'm sorry, Chu-tan.
**[10:09] Mei**
I should have examined you sooner.
**[10:13] Shar**
You couldn't help it.
**[10:15] Shar**
We all made light of the
changes she was undergoing.
**[10:20] Shar**
Is her condition critical?
**[10:21] Mei**
For the moment,
**[10:23] Mei**
Mo-tan's Sol/Lull is keeping it in check,
**[10:26] Mei**
but Chu-tan's Sol/Lull is
still out of control.
**[10:30] Shar**
What can we do?
**[10:32] Mei**
I don't know yet.
**[10:34] Mei**
But our only choice is to
delay her Sol/Lull's rampage
**[10:36] Mei**
while we find a way to treat her.
**[10:39] Shar**
Delay it?
**[10:40] Mei**
If we can get
**[10:42] Mei**
Sol/Lull from all of the
others in the zodiac...
**[10:46] Shar**
I understand.
**[10:47] Shar**
I want to...
**[10:53] Shar**
Stop crying now, Chu-tan.
**[10:57] Chu**
B-But, Master...
**[11:00] Chu**
As weak as I am, there's no way
I can protect this country.
**[11:04] Shar**
Your best feature is your honest heart,
**[11:08] Shar**
and that honest heart is also your weakness.
**[11:14] Shar**
Don't forget that.
**[11:20] Shar**
I want to save her.
***SIGN*** An Eto-musume's core;
a crystallization of the feelings and imaginations of humans.
Provided her Etotama is intact, an Eto-musume may be reincarnated.
***SIGN*** Eto-musume cannot create their own Sol/Lull.
Eto-shin may transfer the Sol/Lull they receive through
the devotion of humans among one another.
**[11:38] Chu**
What's wrong?
**[11:39] Mei**
I-I'm sorry.
**[11:41] Mei**
I'm so powerless, I still can't believe I was
**[11:44] Mei**
able to become an Eto-shin.
**[11:47] Chu**
That's not true.
**[11:49] Chu**
Your duty is to protect the
health of humans, correct?
**[11:54] Mei**
Can I really do that?
**[11:57] Chu**
You can.
**[11:58] Chu**
If everyone is healthy,
the world will be at peace.
**[12:11] Mei**
Everyone!
**[12:13] Mei**
I have a favor to ask of you!
**[12:15] Uri**
A favor? What is it?
**[12:17] Mei**
I just went to see Chu-tan...
**[12:21] Shima**
Why'd ya do that?!
**[12:23] Mei**
Looking after everyone's
health is part of my job.
**[12:26] Mei**
Of course I would examine Chu-tan.
**[12:29] Shima**
Yeah, but she destroyed Mo-tan!
**[12:31] Shima**
Ya know how bad that is, right?!
**[12:34] Shima**
Bring 'er here right now!
**[12:35] Shima**
I'll beat some sense into her!
**[12:37] Shar**
If you want to beat Chu-tan,
then save her first.
**[12:40] Shima**
Huh?
**[12:41] Mei**
Right now, Mo-tan's power is keeping
**[12:44] Mei**
Chu-tan's rampaging Sol/Lull in check.
**[12:46] Uri**
We heard that from Mo-tan.
**[12:48] Mei**
But it's approaching its limit.
**[12:51] Mei**
It's only a matter of time before
its efficacy wears off.
**[12:55] Mei**
That's why...
**[12:56] Mei**
I want us all to give Chu-tan our Sol/Lull!
**[13:01] [SONG] Mei**
Rat
**[13:02] Mei**
I think Chu-tan's Etotama
is currently turning all
**[13:05] Mei**
the Sol/Lull it receives
into negative energy.
**[13:09] Mei**
So, if we fill Chu-tan's Etotama
with all of our Sol/Lull
**[13:13] Mei**
before it has a chance to turn
it into negative energy...
**[13:18] Mei**
It might stop her rampage,
like flipping a switch.
**[13:22] Dora**
So the only way is to suppress it by force?
**[13:25] Mei**
This is the best idea I can
come up with to handle it.
**[13:29] Shar**
Please, help Chu-tan.
**[13:33] Shar**
She's fighting her own battle.
**[13:37] Shima**
No need to ask us that. Of course we'll go.
**[13:41] Dora**
Mo-tan gave it her all, too.
**[13:43] Dora**
Chu-tan is suffering.
**[13:45] Dora**
We must do whatever we can.
**[13:48] Shima**
Yeah, fine.
**[13:50] Shima**
I'll have to hold off on beating
Chu-tan until this is all over.
**[13:53] Inu**
Hey, Takeru, come with us!
**[13:55] Key**
Yeah! You've got great Sol/Lull!
**[13:58] Takeru**
I'll stay here,
**[14:00] Takeru**
next to Nya-tan.
**[14:04] Takeru**
Nya-tan is the one I want
to support right now.
**[14:07] Takeru**
All of you should support Chu-tan.
**[14:10] Takeru**
Like Dora-tan said,
let's all do what we can.
**[14:14] Mei**
Takeru-san.
**[14:16] Takeru**
I think the thing I can do is right here.
**[14:19] Shima**
All right! Let's go!
**[14:21] Key**
We'll catch Usa-tan and the
other two on the way!
**[14:24] Inu**
Yeah!
**[14:25] Takeru**
Is something wrong?
**[14:27] Uri**
When Nya-tan wakes up,
***SIGN*** Sesame Oil
**[14:29] Uri**
give her this.
**[14:30] Takeru**
Uh, right.
**[14:31] Uri**
It's best to drink at 43 degrees Celsius.
**[14:34] Uri**
If she wants a different flavor,
add some yuzu and pepper paste.
**[14:35] Takeru**
Okay, I get it. Just go.
**[14:38] Uri**
Keep a close eye on her, okay?
**[14:40] Takeru**
Yeah, sure.
**[14:45] Takeru**
Hey...
**[14:46] Takeru**
If your memories come back,
**[14:48] Takeru**
I wonder what'll happen to
your memories of me.
**[14:53] Takeru**
I'm sure I'd be sad if you woke up as
**[14:56] Takeru**
a Nya-tan I don't know.
**[14:58] Takeru**
But my own sadness
**[15:02] Takeru**
wouldn't bother me nearly as
much as if you never woke up.
**[15:05] Takeru**
So come on and wake up, Nya-tan.
**[15:16] Shar**
People's prayers,
**[15:18] Shar**
hopes, dreams...
**[15:20] Shar**
They always look so beautiful.
**[15:23] Chu**
But there will always be just as much sorrow,
**[15:27] Chu**
hatred, and loneliness.
**[15:31] Shar**
Chu-ta—
**[15:32] Inu**
Chu-tan!
**[15:33] Inu**
I need your help with something!
**[15:36] Piyo**
Wait! Save your silly whining
for after I give my report!
**[15:40] Uma**
I-I'm sorry!
**[15:42] Uma**
I've had some trouble come up, too!
**[15:46] Shar**
If you like, I can help—
**[15:48] Chu**
No, it's okay.
**[15:49] Chu**
I'll hear them out.
**[15:51] Chu**
What's wrong?
**[15:52] Inu**
Well, there's trouble in the
region I'm protecting!
**[15:56] Piyo**
It's probably nothing big.
**[15:58] Inu**
It is, too!
**[15:59] Piyo**
Oh, shut up!
**[15:59] Uma**
U-Um, please listen to what
I have to say, too...
**[16:01] Inu**
How dare you tell me to shut up?!
**[16:05] Nya**
I'm back!
**[16:07] Chu**
Nya-tan.
**[16:12] Nya**
What's going on? You look all gloomy.
**[16:15] Chu**
Not at all.
**[16:17] Chu**
I can't afford to be gloomy until
this world is in perfect balance.
**[16:21] Nya**
True.
**[16:23] Chu**
Is there still strife in the outside world?
**[16:26] Nya**
Here and there.
**[16:26] Chu**
I see.
**[16:28] Inu**
Hey, Chu-tan!
**[16:30] Chu**
Oh, sorry.
**[16:32] Nya**
Yeah, we can all really rest easy with a
**[16:34] Nya**
reliable leader like you, Chu-tan.
**[16:37] Chu**
I'm sure.
**[16:40] Chu**
You won't find many as dependable as me.
**[16:42] Nya**
Very impressive!
**[16:45] Chu**
Listen, maybe now and then—
**[16:47] Nya**
Hey, Inu and Piyo! How've you two been?
**[16:50] Piyo**
Shut up, stupid cat!
**[16:51] Inu**
We don't have anything to say to you!
**[16:53] Nya**
Aww, don't say that! I brought a souvenir!
**[16:56] Nya**
It's top-quality, all-natural conger eel!
**[16:58] Nya**
Try it with some refreshing plums,
and you can keep eating it forever!
**[17:02] Piyo**
Liar! There's no way this is a conger eel!
**[17:04] Nya**
Now, now, don't sweat the little details!
***SIGN*** squirm wriggle

**[17:13] Nya**
Chimera?
**[17:15] Piyo**
You stupid cat! This time I'll really...
**[17:17] Piyo**
Get this thing off me!
**[17:20] Nya**
Tee-hee!
**[17:22] Uma**
Terrifying...
**[17:23] Inu**
Chu-tan, do something.
**[17:26] Chu**
For goodness' sake...
**[17:33] Uma**
Amazing!
**[17:34] Inu**
That's our Chu-tan!
**[17:38] Chu**
Nya-tan, please don't scare
everyone like that.
**[17:45] Nya**
Well, time to go.
**[17:46] Chu**
Already?
**[17:47] Nya**
Keep it up!
**[17:50] Chu**
Nya-tan...
**[17:55] Mei**
Okay, is everyone ready?
**[17:58] Mei**
Let's begin.
**[18:05] Mei**
Made on Sol/Lull!
**[18:22] Shima**
How's this, Mei-tan?
**[18:24] Mei**
This is fine. Keep it going.
**[18:35] Mei**
*That's it...*
**[18:37] Mei**
*Chu-tan...*
**[18:39] Chu**
*I'm in your way?*

*You don't need me?*

*You are now my...*

What's happening?
**[19:01] Inu**
I... can't move...
**[19:04] Uma**
My strength... is leaving me...
**[19:08] Mei**
Chu-tan's negative energy seems
**[19:10] Mei**
to be swallowing our Sol/Lull!
**[19:13] Shima**
What?
**[19:19] Piyo**
Is she trying to take every
last bit of our Sol/Lull?
**[19:24] Shar**
S-Stop...

Saury! Urchin! Gotcha!
**[20:07] Takeru**
You're the same old Nya-tan.
**[20:09] Nya**
Meow?
**[20:10] Takeru**
Nothing. How do you feel?
**[20:14] Nya**
I'm not sure what happened...
**[20:16] Nya**
But I remember everything!
**[20:19] Nya**
I remember why I absolutely have
to become part of the zodiac!
**[20:24] Takeru**
Nya-tan...
**[20:26] Nya**
Now then.
**[20:32] Nya**
Come with me, Takeru.
**[20:34] Nya**
Everyone's waiting.
**[20:38] Takeru**
Sure.
**[20:49] Takeru**
What in the world...

What happened here?
**[20:54] Nya**
Master!

N-Nya-tan...
**[21:02] Takaru**
Incredible! Their clothes are back!
**[21:06] Dora**
Is this...
**[21:07] Dora**
Are your memories...
**[21:12] Dora**
I see.
**[21:13] Dora**
It seems there's no longer
any reason to stop you.
**[21:20] Nya**
Your Sol/Lull Seal!
**[21:21] Takeru**
Good for you, Nya-tan.
**[21:23] Nya**
Thanks, Master!
**[21:26] Shima**
Now the only seal
**[21:28] Shima**
you need is Chu-tan's.
**[21:30] Uri**
Yep, yep.
**[21:31] Chu**
Your memories returned,
**[21:34] Chu**
cat?
**[21:40] Nya**
Chu-tan...
**[21:43] Nya**
That night, you told me
**[21:46] Nya**
that there was no telling
how I'd be punished.
**[21:49] Nya**
Maybe we're being
**[21:50] Nya**
punished by the gods right now.
**[21:54] Nya**
But I'll do something about it!

An intermingling of repeated wishes...
**[00:04] Na**
Two destinies intertwining...
**[00:06] Na**
Long, long ago, in the
land of the rising sun,
**[00:10] Na**
the gods held a festival to
**[00:12] Na**
choose twelve divine messengers
to protect the newborn land.
**[00:17] Na**
However, due to the Rat's trickery,
**[00:19] Na**
the Cat was not able to
participate in the festival
**[00:22] Na**
and could not become part of the zodiac.
**[00:26] Na**
Now, two thousand years later,
**[00:28] Na**
the Cat and Rat are
about to begin their final battle,

each for her own reasons and feelings.

***SIGN*** Episode 12: Eto in Full Bloom
**[02:29] Uri**
Are Nya-tan's memories...?
**[02:31] Takeru**
She said she remembered everything.
**[02:34] Takeru**
*Nya-tan...*
**[02:49] Nya**
Chu-tan!
**[03:25] Chu**
You call this getting serious?!
**[03:34] Nya**
Here we go!
**[03:51] Chu**
This time,
**[03:53] Chu**
I will destroy your Etotama completely!
**[03:58] Chu**
What?
**[04:02] Takeru**
That's...
**[04:03] Shar**
The same Kagura Senguu that Chu-tan used.
**[04:06] Dora**
Why is Nya-tan...?
**[04:15] Chu**
I never dreamed
**[04:17] Chu**
that you would learn this technique, too.
**[04:19] Nya**
I didn't!
**[04:22] Nya**
The first one to ever use
Etotama Kagura Senguu...
**[04:25] Nya**
Was me!
***SIGN*** Rat
**[04:28] Chu**
What are...
**[04:30] Chu**
...you saying?
**[04:32] Nya**
Chu-tan.
**[04:34] Nya**
You're more direct and
up-front than anyone.
**[04:37] Nya**
You won't even throw away
the negative emotions
**[04:40] Nya**
that keep piling up in you.
You accept them fully.
**[04:44] Nya**
So by the time I realized it...
**[04:48] Nya**
The Sol/Lull in you had
already started rampaging.
**[04:53] Nya**
I had no other choice!
**[04:58] Dora**
There were already signs
of her rampage even then?
**[05:01] Mei**
For the sake of humanity,
and for this land,
**[05:05] Mei**
and...
**[05:07] Mei**
To serve as an example for us,
**[05:09] Mei**
Chu-tan always remained a
strong, unyielding leader.
**[05:13] Shar**
She was genuine to a fault.
**[05:18] Shar**
That's why she was unable to escape
the evil stirring within her,
**[05:20] Shar**
and the contortion of her reason.
**[05:22] Shar**
She was trapped, no longer able to move.
**[05:26] Usa**
I-If she was so troubled,
she could have told us.
**[05:30] Key**
Yeah! If she'd talked to us—
**[05:32] Shima**
She couldn't do that!
**[05:34] Shima**
No. We just wouldn't let her.
**[05:41] Inu**
I dumped all kinds of trouble on her.
**[05:44] Inu**
I just made her listen to my whining...
**[05:46] Inu**
I never actually listened to her.
**[05:48] Uma**
I feel terrible.
**[05:51] Uri**
Only Nya-tan realized it.
**[05:54] Piyo**
I thought she was the most
selfish one of us all,
**[05:56] Piyo**
thinking of no one but herself...
**[05:58] Nya**
That's why...
**[06:00] Nya**
That's why I went through so much training
**[06:03] Nya**
and mastered Kagura Senguu!
**[06:06] Nya**
For you, Chu-tan!
**[06:07] Chu**
What nonsense are you spouting?!
**[06:22] Shima**
Then the reason Nya-tan wanted
to train under us...
**[06:26] Uri**
She wanted to master the
**[06:28] Uri**
secret technique, Etotama Kagura Senguu.
**[06:30] Dora**
Truly?
**[06:32] Dora**
But why?
**[06:33] Chu**
You mastered Kagura Senguu for me?
***SIGN*** Rat
**[06:37] Chu**
What? What is she talking about?
**[06:52] Nya**
Secret technique: Etotama Kagura Senguu!
**[07:01] Chu**
Wh-What is this technique?
**[07:04] Nya**
That's enough, Chu-tan.
**[07:07] Nya**
That's enough.
**[07:09] Nya**
You can rest now.
**[07:14] Chu**
Rest, you say?
**[07:18] Chu**
I'm in your way?
**[07:21] Chu**
You don't need me?
**[07:23] Nya**
This is the only way I can save you!
**[07:26] Chu**
Who asked you to save me?
**[07:28] Chu**
You promised me
**[07:31] Chu**
that you'd protect this land!
**[07:34] Chu**
Yet you...
**[07:35] Nya**
Don't, Chu-tan!
**[07:37] Nya**
If you do this, you'll—
**[07:38] Chu**
Quiet, cat clan Eto-musume!
**[07:40] Chu**
You are now...
**[07:42] Chu**
My enemy!
**[07:49] Nya**
No—
**[07:51] Nya**
That's...
**[07:57] Nya**
J-Just by seeing it... you
learned Kagura Senguu?
**[08:01] Nya**
Ch-Chu-tan...
**[08:22] Dora**
Nya-tan was also capable
of using Kagura Senguu?
**[08:25] Manager**
It appears you are all doing
whatever you please.
**[08:32] Takeru**
Everyone! What happened?
**[08:35] Manager**
Human boy...
**[08:37] Manager**
I ask of you:
**[08:40] Manager**
Do you need these zodiac spirits?
**[08:43] Manager**
Well, human boy?
**[08:45] Takeru**
Manager?
**[08:53] Nya**
I finally remembered...
**[08:55] Nya**
Everything!
**[09:00] Chu**
That doesn't change anything.
**[09:03] Chu**
I will destroy you, and that is all!
**[09:06] Chu**
Kokushi...

Cat clan secret technique:
**[09:26] Nya**
Neko Masshiguran!
***SIGN*** Neko Masshiguran
**[09:35] Chu**
I see.
**[09:37] Chu**
So you've regained your power
along with your memories?
**[09:43] Nya**
Not my power!
**[09:45] Nya**
What... What came back to me is...
**[09:49] Nya**
My love for you, Chu-tan!
**[10:18] Nya**
Secret technique:
**[10:19] Nya**
Etotama Kagura Senguu!
***SIGN*** A divine act that transforms the Etotama,
an Eto-musume's soul, into the vessel for a new soul.
It requires special Sol/Lull and cleanses the Etotama of impurities
without the loss of the target's memories or abilities.
***SIGN*** All divine
precepts are established by the Conference of Gods,
held by the ETM12 Executive Committee of members chosen
by the many gods, and must be obeyed by all Eto-musume.
**[10:43] Manager**
Answer me, human boy.
**[10:47] Manager**
Do humans need the zodiac spirits?
**[10:50] Takeru**
If I say we don't, what then?
**[10:54] Manager**
I will invoke Article 0
of the Zodiac Precepts.
**[10:58] Takeru**
What is Article 0 of the Zodiac Precepts?
**[11:01] Manager**
The current Eto-shin will disappear,
**[11:04] Manager**
and all will be recomposed from scratch.
**[11:06] Takeru**
They'll disappear?
**[11:07] Manager**
As they are now,
**[11:09] Manager**
the zodiac spirits cannot protect
either the people or the land.
**[11:12] Manager**
They are essentially too imperfect to
**[11:15] Manager**
exist as messengers of the gods.
**[11:18] Takeru**
You're asking whether humans need
**[11:21] Takeru**
the zodiac spirits or not?
**[11:29] Chu**
Let go! Let go!
**[11:32] Nya**
I thought destroying it
**[11:34] Nya**
would be for your own good.
**[11:37] Nya**
I thought it was the only way to save you!
**[11:40] Chu**
Let go!
**[11:44] Nya**
But I was wrong!
**[11:48] Nya**
I just didn't know.
**[11:53] Nya**
There were so many other things
**[11:56] Nya**
I could do for the people I cared about.
**[12:05] Nya**
I'm sorry, Chu-tan.
**[12:13] Chu**
Let go!
**[12:14] Chu**
Don't touch me!
**[12:16] Chu**
Don't come near me!
**[12:18] Chu**
You are an enemy I must destroy!
**[12:20] Nya**
I won't let go!
**[12:21] Nya**
I'm not letting go this time!
**[12:24] Nya**
No matter what you become,
**[12:26] Nya**
or what happens to me!
**[12:29] Nya**
I'll save you as many times as I have to!
**[12:34] Nya**
As many times as I have to!
***SIGN*** Rat
**[13:03] Nya**
Chu-tan?
**[13:10] Chu**
I hate you.
**[13:12] Chu**
I really hate you, Nya-tan!
**[13:22] Chu**
Why?
**[13:23] Chu**
Why did you betray me?!
**[13:26] Nya**
I told you, I'm sorry!
**[13:28] Chu**
I... I wanted...
**[13:30] Chu**
to be
**[13:32] Chu**
with you!
**[13:38] Chu**
I thought you'd be by my
side, supporting me.
**[13:41] Chu**
That's why I was able to tout
my ideals and beliefs...
**[13:44] Chu**
Yet you just went wandering off,
**[13:46] Chu**
this way and that!
**[13:50] Nya**
The agreement was that I'd
support you from the shadows!
**[13:54] Nya**
That's why I visited different worlds,
nipping their problems in the bud!
**[13:58] Nya**
I thought that would make
things better overall!
**[14:00] Chu**
Yeah, things were definitely balanced!
**[14:02] Nya**
Then it's fine!
**[14:03] Chu**
It's not fine!
**[14:04] Nya**
Why not?!
**[14:07] Chu**
The nation was balanced,
**[14:10] Chu**
but I was lonely!
**[14:13] Chu**
Because you weren't there!
**[14:18] Nya**
Wha...
**[14:21] Nya**
What're you acting all loving for?
**[14:23] Nya**
You can't say that now!
**[14:25] Nya**
It's throwing your character off!
**[14:27] Chu**
I-I know that!
**[14:28] Chu**
I know I'm way off...
**[14:32] Chu**
But... But...
**[14:34] Chu**
I couldn't say it for two thousand years!
**[14:37] Chu**
So why can't I say it now?!
**[14:41] Uri**
Both of their most precious secrets
**[14:43] Uri**
just came tumbling out.
**[14:46] Chu**
*I don't like who I am now, either!*
**[14:48] Chu**
* I'm pathetic, screaming*
* and throwing tantrums...*
**[14:51] Chu**
*I don't know what to do anymore!*
**[14:54] Takeru**
Um...
**[14:55] Manager**
Do you have your answer, human boy?
**[14:58] Takeru**
I'm sorry, but could you move over?
**[15:00] Manager**
Huh?
**[15:01] Takeru**
You're blocking the TV.
**[15:02] Manager**
Oh, right...
**[15:08] Takeru**
I don't think you need to do anything.
**[15:10] Manager**
What?!
**[15:11] Takeru**
You can be as out of character
as you want, Chu-tan.
**[15:15] Takeru**
That's what gives rise to
all kinds of feelings.
**[15:17] Manager**
U-Um...
**[15:18] Takeru**
You got too serious and
went out of control,
**[15:21] Takeru**
and you were finally able
to say how you truly felt,
**[15:22] Manager**
Hello?
**[15:24] Takeru**
all because you went out of character.
**[15:26] Manager**
What the...
**[15:28] Usa**
He's totally ignoring the manager.
**[15:30] Uma**
Th-That's amazing...
**[15:33] Piyo**
Not bad.
**[15:35] Takeru**
Being with Nya-tan made me understand.
**[15:38] Takeru**
Because she screams, throws tantrums,
**[15:41] Takeru**
and acts out of character,
every day is more fun!
**[15:46] Takeru**
I decided to support Nya-tan
because that's who she is.
**[15:49] Takeru**
And...
**[15:51] Takeru**
I'll support you too, Chu-tan,
**[15:53] Takeru**
because Nya-tan does!
**[16:07] Takeru**
Both of you, go for it!
***SIGN*** Rat
**[16:41] Chu**
My chest... feels lighter...
**[16:45] Nya**
Takeru's Sol/Lull is really kind!
**[16:51] Chu**
I...
**[16:54] Chu**
I...
**[16:57] Chu**
I am Chu-tan of the rat clan,
**[17:00] Chu**
strongest of the Eto-shin!
**[17:06] Nya**
Okay, then once again...
**[17:08] Nya**
I'll defeat you and
**[17:11] Nya**
join the zodiac!
**[17:14] Chu**
Bring it on, Nya-tan!
**[17:21] Chu**
Shin...
**[17:22] Nya**
Super...
**[17:22] Chu**
...Tenchuu...
**[17:23] Nya**

..Satsu!
**[17:24] Nya**

**[17:32] [SONG] Text**
Over
**[17:37] Takeru**
Manager.
**[17:38] Manager**
Huh? Oh... Yes!
**[17:40] Manager**
What is it, human boy?
**[17:43] Takeru**
Rat, Ox,
**[17:44] Takeru**
Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon,
**[17:47] Takeru**
Snake, Horse, Sheep,
**[17:49] Takeru**
Monkey, Rooster, Dog,
**[17:52] Takeru**
and Boar.
**[17:54] Takeru**
You said they were all imperfect.
**[17:58] Takeru**
They're great *because*
**[18:00] Takeru**
they're imperfect, screaming, crying,
out-of-character zodiac spirits.
**[18:03] Takeru**
I do need the zodiac spirits.
**[18:08] Manager**
Human boy, I accept
**[18:11] Manager**
your words as complete truth.
**[18:14] Manager**
And thus...
**[18:18] Manager**
Article 0 of the Zodiac Precepts
will not be invoked!
**[18:22] Takeru**
Thank you!
**[18:24] Manager**
Whew, thank goodness!
**[18:26] Manager**
If the current zodiac spirits disappeared,
**[18:27] Manager**
I'd have to conduct job
interviews all over again!
**[18:30] Takeru**
Huh?
**[18:31] Manager**
Everyone! Tomorrow is a fun, fun payday!
**[18:34] Manager**
Make sure you come to work!
**[18:36] Manager**
Now... Adios!
**[18:41] Voice**
*The battle is over.*
**[18:44] Nya**
Hi again! I'm back!
**[18:47] Dora**
Welcome back, Nya-tan.
**[18:48] Nya**
Yay!
**[18:49] Chu**
Hey, that was just a fluke, you know.
**[18:51] Nya**
What?! It was not!
**[18:52] Chu**
Yeah, it was.
**[18:53] Nya**
Was not!
**[19:00] Mei**
Your Sol/Lull is calm now.
**[19:02] Mei**
But rest for a while just in case, okay?
**[19:05] Chu**
Th-Thanks.
**[19:08] Shar**
We were worried about you.
**[19:08] Dora**
So Nya-tan's Kagura Senguu
**[19:09] Chu**
Sorry...
**[19:11] Dora**
didn't destroy Chu-tan's Etotama.
**[19:13] Dora**
It's a technique to repair and purify it.
**[19:17] Shima**
A secret technique that can be
either poison or medicine...
**[19:19] Shima**
Talk about an amazing ability.
**[19:22] Nya**
Wait! Wait, wait!
**[19:24] Chu**
What's wrong, Nya-tan?
**[19:26] Nya**
Don't give me that!
**[19:27] Nya**
Hand it over!
**[19:29] Chu**
Hand what over?
***SIGN*** Seal
**[19:32] Nya**
Your Sol/Lull Seal!
**[19:34] Nya**
Give me your Sol/Lull Seal!
**[19:35] Nya**
I won our Sol/Lull battle!
**[19:38] Chu**
Oh, right.
**[19:39] Uri**
That victory was a bit up in the air.
**[19:41] Key**
Right on the edge.
**[19:42] Inu**
Like, if I had to say, I guess you won?
**[19:45] Nya**
A win is a win!
**[19:46] Nya**
Just hand it over already!
**[19:49] Nya**
I'm gonna join the zodiac
and release Chu-tan from
**[19:51] Nya**
the pressure of being one of them!
**[19:54] Nya**
That's my ultimate goal!
**[19:58] Chu**
You can't have my Seal.
**[19:59] Nya**
Why the heck not?!
**[20:01] Chu**
I did something I can't undo.
***SIGN*** Ox
**[20:08] Chu**
But still...
**[20:10] Chu**
No, that's why...
**[20:12] Chu**
I want to fulfill my duty as a
**[20:15] Chu**
zodiac spirit and protect this land!
**[20:17] Mei**
That's wonderful!
**[20:19] Shar**
We'll help you.
**[20:20] Nya**
Wait a minute!
**[20:22] Piyo**
Why don't we change the ETM12
rules while we're at it?
**[20:25] Chu**
You're right.
**[20:27] Chu**
Shall we submit an amendment
to the Zodiac Precepts?
**[20:31] Chu**
On that note,
**[20:32] Chu**
would you continue to help me, everyone?
**[20:36] Nya**
*Wh-What is this mood?!*
**[20:38] Nya**
*Does this mean I can't join the zodiac?!*
**[20:41] Nya**
*My one cour worth of effort...*
**[20:44] Chu**
Don't push yourself.
**[20:45] Chu**
You can live as you please,
unbound by anything.
**[20:49] Nya**
I wasn't pushing myself...
**[20:50] Chu**
I'll do things my way,
**[20:52] Chu**
and you do things your way.
**[20:54] Chu**
And we'll protect this land together.
**[20:57] Chu**
Promise.
**[21:01] Nya**
No!
**[21:02] Nya**
This means I'm past my prime!
**[21:05] Nya**
I have no place here now!
**[21:06] Nya**
Demand my help more!
**[21:07] Mo**
I want you!
**[21:10] Mo**
My sweet Nya-tan!
**[21:11] Nya**
Huh?! Mo-tan?!
**[21:13] Mo**
Yes, it's me!
**[21:16] Nya**
How? How?!
**[21:17] Mo**
Before I knew it...
**[21:19] Mo**
I lived inside Chu-tan!
**[21:21] Chu**
You've been inside me all this time?
**[21:23] Mo**
In that moment...
**[21:25] Mo**
My Etotama touched Chu-tan,
**[21:27] Mo**
and we were connected a tiny bit.
**[21:30] Mo**
But, of course, that wasn't
enough to change anything...
**[21:34] Mo**
But Chu-tan and Nya-tan, your love
**[21:37] Mo**
aided my reincarnation!
**[21:41] Takeru**
That's great.
**[21:44] Chu**
I see...
**[21:45] Chu**
You've all been beside me this whole time.
**[21:50] Chu**
I'm sorry I didn't notice.
**[21:54] Chu**
Thank you.
**[21:57] Nya**
What just happened here?
**[21:59] Nya**
Is this the end? Seriously?!
**[22:02] Dora**
Nya-tan, now there's
nothing tying you down.
**[22:05] Dora**
You're free.
**[22:07] Shima**
Ya can wander off on journeys again now.
**[22:09] Uri**
Yep, yep.
**[22:11] Takeru**
Well, anyway, that's great, huh?
**[22:13] Nya**
I—
**[22:14] Nya**
It is not!
**[23:40] Mo**
Nya-tan, let's go!
**[23:42] Nya**
All right!
**[23:45] Nya**
Have a battle with me!
