Everyone, let's...
***SIGN*** Final Episode: The Tolympics
**[00:04] Deme**
Let's run a marathon!
**[00:05] Eleian**
What? A marathon?
**[00:07] Spartan**
The hell is that?
**[00:08] Deme**
Ninety years ago, the Battle
of Marathon took place.
**[00:12] Spartan**
Yeah, we went to reinforce them, but by
the time we arrived, it was already over.
**[00:16] Deme**
At the Battle of Marathon...
**[00:18] (Flashback) Iwatani**
In order to invade Greece,
**[00:20] (Flashback) ---**
Persia sent an army of 100,000
soldiers to the land of Marathon.
**[00:24] (Flashback) Iwatani**
The Athenians engaged the
Persians with 10,000 hoplites.
**[00:28] (Flashback) Iwatani**
At the end of a fierce battle,
the Athenians achieved victory.
**[00:31] (Flashback) Iwatani**
The Athenians sent a single messenger
**[00:34] (Flashback) ---**
from the battlefield at
Marathon all the way to Athens.
**[00:36] (Flashback) Iwatani**
His name was Pheidippides.
**[00:38] (Flashback) Iwatani**
The distance from Athens to
Marathon is seven parasanges.
***SIGN*** °7 parasanges = Approx. 42km
**[00:42] (Flashback) Iwatani**
When Pheidippides finally arrived in
Athens, his body had reached its limits.
**[00:47] (Flashback) Iwatani**
It's said that after declaring,
"We won," he passed way.
**[00:52] Deme**
He couldn't have done that without a
strong sense of responsibility and will.
**[00:56] Spartan**
That's a nice story, but what's
it got to do with this?
**[00:59] Deme**
More than Greeks killing Greeks in a war,
**[01:03] ---**
the soldier who gave his life running
to bring peace to all of Greece...
**[01:08] Deme**
Don't you think he is truly honorable?
**[01:11] Deme**
Out of respect for him, why don't
we all run the same distance?
**[01:16] Eleian**
What kind of forced logic is that?
**[01:23] Bandit**
I don't know about this Pheidippides guy,
**[01:26] ---**
but he ran more than seven
parasanges to get here.
**[01:33] Spartan**
I'm not really feeling this anymore.
**[01:36] ---**
We're leaving.
**[01:37] Eleian**
What? Isn't it a little late for that?
**[01:39] Mayor**
Demetrius!
**[01:40] Mayor**
Eleians and Spartans, it's all my fault!
**[01:44] Mayor**
I offer you my head in exchange
for an end to hostilities!
**[01:48] Mayor**
I drowned in my own lust for honor
and had forgot that townsfolk
**[01:53] ---**
like him are my true source of honor.
**[01:56] Eleian**
Well.
**[01:58] Eleian**
Receiving the head of this greedy old man
would only tarnish the city of Eleia.
**[02:04] Eleian**
Such nonsense. We're leaving, as well.
**[02:07] Mayor**
You did good, Demetrius.
**[02:14] Villager**
Thanks to Demetrius, we were able to
avoid war and resume the Tolympics.
**[02:20] Villager**
Demetrius truly was amazing.
**[02:23] Villager**
They're coming.
**[02:26] Villager**
You're one tough dude!
**[02:28] Villager**
We thought you were dead!
**[02:30] Deme**
Thanks for your support!
**[02:32] Villager**
The bandit guards ensure
that they can run safely.
**[02:35] ---**
What a good idea.
**[02:36] Apo**
You can do it, Demetrius!
**[02:41] Spartan**
Man, I'm beat.
**[02:43] Spartan**
Sports that aren't useful in
war aren't too bad after all.
**[02:46] Eleian**
The Olympics... shall adopt
this marathon... as a game...
**[02:50] Mayor**
Well done, Demetrius!
**[02:52] Mayor**
You're truly this town's hero!
**[02:55] Mayor**
You're not Demetri-useless.
**[02:57] ---**
I'll call you Not Demetri-useless.
**[02:58] Mayor**
No, you're better than not useless.
You're Demetri-mazing!
**[03:02] Deme**
Please just call me by my name!
**[03:03] Mayor**
Anyway, Demetri-mazing, I'd like you
to marry my daughter Apollonia.
**[03:10] Deme**
What?!
**[03:11] Deme**
Are you okay with this, Apollonia?
**[03:13] Apo**
Of course, Mr. Hero.
**[03:15] Villager**
Nice work, Demetrius!
**[03:17] Spartan**
Come on, kiss! Kiss! Kiss!
**[03:20] All**
Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!
**[03:24] Voice**
Time travel...
**[03:29] Iwatani**
I'm surprised myself, you creep.
**[03:31] Deme**
I'm sorry. I was so close, too...
**[03:34] Iwatani**
Don't scare me like that.
**[03:36] Deme**
The city seems lively.
**[03:39] Iwatani**
Of course it is.
**[03:40] Iwatani**
The sports event that takes place once
**[03:42] ---**
every four years that attracts people from
all over the world is about to start.
**[03:45] Woman**
This year it's being held here in Tokyo.
**[03:48] Boy**
The tradition has continued
since ancient Greece.
**[03:50] Boy**
You've never heard of it?
**[03:51] Deme**
I see. The Olympics are still
being held in the modern era.
**[03:55] Iwatani**
Look. The stadium's right over there.
**[03:59] ---**
Tokyo Tolympics
**[03:59] Deme**
What—Tolympics?!
**[04:04] Iwatani**
What? You don't know about the Tolympics?

History of the Tolympics
**[04:15] [SONG] ---**
The flags I looked up at in ancient Greece
**[04:16] ---**
The Tolympics were founded in ancient Greece
in the 4th Century BCE (Tolympiad 1)
**[04:19] [SONG] ---**
Are the streets of Tokyo fluttering in the sky
**[04:21] ---**
It is a sports event born from the
suggestion of King Theophilos I of Tortonia.
**[04:22] [SONG] ---**
Men, women, and children, too
**[04:26] [SONG] ---**
Let's all do athletics together
**[04:27] ---**
Through the hard work and ideas of the dedicated king,
the Tolympics gained the support of the people
**[04:31] [SONG] ---**
We endure difficulties and joy for this day
**[04:32] ---**
It absorbed other sports events and
became a worldwide sports festival
**[04:35] ---**
In the modern era,
the tournament is held around the world
**[04:36] [SONG] ---**
Let us swear to meet again in four years
**[04:40] ---**
A variety of Tolympic symbols have been
created based on the first symbol
**[04:42] [SONG] ---**
Run! Jump! Throw!
**[04:45] ---**
This is the symbol of the 1964 Tokyo Tolympics.
**[04:46] [SONG] ---**
Ha~
**[04:50] [SONG] ---**
Oh joy, oh joy, oh joy-joy
**[04:50] ---**
A variety of popular official merchandise
