***SIGN*** Rat
**[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?
**[01:39] Chu**
The first Eto-shin Selection
Festival is about to start.

***SIGN*** Episode 11: Cat/Rat Shuffle
**[03:33] Usa**
Did you see that battle?!
**[03:35] Uma**
S-Something very bad happened!
**[03:38] Piyo**
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!
**[04:15] Nya**
Glance.
**[04:16] Nya**
Then the day after!
**[04:17] Nya**
Meow?
**[04:19] Nya**
Okay, okay, the day after that?
**[04:21] Nya**
Nah, maybe she'll make us wait a week?
**[04:22] Nya**
Or maybe she'll wait a month!
**[04:25] Nya**
Meow?
**[04:27] Shima**
No. She won't.
**[04:30] Uri**
Chu-tan destroyed Mo-tan's Etotama.
**[04:34] Nya**
Her Etotama?
**[04:36] Uri**
Etotama is our source.
***SIGN*** Ox
**[04:38] Shima**
One whose Etotama is destroyed...
**[04:42] Shima**
Most likely can't reincarnate.
**[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
**[17:07] ---**
I knew it!
**[17:09] Inu**
Is this what conger eels look like?!
**[17:11] Uma**
That's the tail of the Chimera!
**[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?*
**[18:42] Chu**
*You don't need me?*
**[18:44] Chu**
*You are now my...*
**[18:49] Chu**
*enemy!*
**[18:59] Dora**
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...
**[19:26] Shar**
No more...

**[19:33] Chu**
*I...*
**[19:35] Chu**
*I have...*
**[19:37] Chu**
*I have no one!*
**[19:54] Nya**
Did that excite you?
***SIGN*** Grr
**[19:57] Nya**
Sorry. I got carried away.
**[19:59] Nya**
Wow! Takeru's Sol/Lull
is all over the place!
**[20:06] Nya**
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...
**[20:51] Nya**
What happened here?
**[20:54] Nya**
Master!
**[20:56] Dora**
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!
***SIGN*** Cat
**[21:59] Nya**
Etotama!
**[22:01] Nya**
Sol/Lull Charge!
***SIGN*** Next Time
**[23:36] Chu**
I will destroy all who stand in my way!
**[23:40] Nya**
I won't lose! It's for
someone I care about!
**[23:43] Chu**
None can match me!
**[23:44] Nya**
I...
**[23:46] Both**
