[01:36] Narrator
    Long, long ago...
[01:38] Narrator
    In a "long, long ago" recent enough that
    it could very well seem like tomorrow...
[01:43] Narrator
    In a universe over there, in an Earth
    over there, in a city over there,
[01:47] Narrator
    there lived a girl.
[01:50] Narrator
    She looked like a completely normal
    girl of the kind you'd find anywhere.
[01:53] Narrator
    The one difference was...
[01:56] Narrator
    The girl could use magic to
    transform into a grown-up!
[02:00] Narrator
    They called her Minky Momo.
SIGN    The Hero Disappeared?!
[02:07] Momo
    "The Hero Disappeared?!"
[02:29] Momo
    Morning, Mama...
[02:30] Papa
    Morning, Momo!
[02:32] Momo
    Papa?!
[02:33] Papa
    Hey! Breakfast'll be ready soon!
[02:37] Momo
    Where's Mama?
[02:38] Papa
    Well...
[02:39] Momo
    What is it?
[02:42] Mama
    Fiend! Have a taste of my Kapow spell!
[02:48] Mama
    Yes, go!
[02:50] Mama
    Now it's time for my Haroom spell!
[02:52] Momo
    A video game?
[02:53] Papa
    Yeah. She's been at it since last night.
[02:56] Papa
    She won't listen to a word I say.
[02:59] Papa
    Talk to her, would you, Momo?
[03:02] Momo
    Okay! I'll give her a piece of my mind.
[03:06] Mama
    Yes! That's it!
[03:07] Mama
    Sure-kill Max Bomber!
[03:09] Momo
    Hey, Mama...
[03:10] Mama
    No, stay out of my way!
[03:12] Mama
    I'm just about to level up!
[03:13] Mama
    Magic! Sword! Sword! Magic!
[03:16] Mama
    Go, get him! Don't lose, Hero!
[03:19] Momo
    This is going nowhere.
[03:25] Momo
    Mama kicked us out for being a nuisance.
[03:28] Lupi
    But she also gave us spending money!
[03:32] Momo
    True!
[03:33] Chamo
    Hey, what should we buy?
[03:34] Chamo
    Toys? Candy? Or...
[03:37] Cook
    Investing it would be the wise decision.
[03:39] Chamo
    No! That's too boring!
[03:41] Momo
    Anyway, let's hit the town!
[03:43] All
    Yeah!
[03:45] Momo
    Yahoo!
[03:50] Man
    Seriously, I can't...
[03:52] Man
    Everyone, please...
[03:53] Kids
    Tell us what's going on!
[03:56] Man
    I mean, I really don't...
[03:59] Momo
    What's going on?
[04:00] Man
    I mean it, please...
[04:01] Man
    Hey, what's going on?
[04:03] Boy
    The hero in the game just disappeared!
[04:07] Momo
    Huh?
[04:08] Momo
    This game... it's the one Mama's playing!
[04:14] Mama
    My hero disappeared!
[04:20] Momo
    Yeah, knew it.
[04:21] Mama
    Why? Why did he disappear?
[04:24] Mama
    A dozen years as a mystery novelist,
[04:27] Mama
    and I've never encountered
    such a baffling mystery!
[04:30] Mama
    I can't solve it!
[04:33] Papa
    What's the big deal?
[04:34] Papa
    It's just a character in a game.
[04:36] Papa
    I know, I'll buy you a new game tomorrow!
[04:39] Papa
    Okay?
[04:40] Mama
    No! I need my hero!
[04:42] Mama
    I put my heart into raising that character!
[04:46] Mama
    He's an extension of me!
[04:49] Mama
    Come back to me!
[04:50] Mama
    Lito!
[04:55] Queen
    The main character of a
    video game has gone missing?
[04:59] Queen
    Is such a thing possible?
[05:02] King
    It's a real squid in the ointment.
[05:04] Queen
    And it seems the lady of the
    house has collapsed from the shock!
[05:11] Papa
    Get it together, dear!
[05:12] Mama
    My hero... where is my hero?
[05:16] Papa
    Dear...
SIGN    We gotta do something.
[05:21] Chamo
    Yeah, we gotta!
[05:22] Lupi
    Yes, you're right!
[05:24] Lupi
    But what do we do?
[05:25] Momo
    Good question.
[05:26] Momo
    I know. Let's get searching!
[05:28] Lupi
    For who?
[05:29] Momo
    The hero!
[05:30] Chamo
    Where?
[05:31] Momo
    In the game!
SIGN    How?
[05:33] Momo
    With magic!
[05:34] Lupi
    Is that even possible?
[05:36] Momo
    We won't know until we try!
[05:38] Momo
    But games are a dreamland for children.
[05:41] Momo
    I'm sure we can do it!
[05:46] Momo
    Magic, magic!
[05:47] Momo
    Take me into the game!
[06:14] Momo
    Where are we?
[06:16] Lupi
    Inside the game, maybe.
[06:17] Momo
    Then the magic worked!
[06:19] Chamo
    Hooray!
[06:20] Lupi
    But what do we do now?
SIGN    Let's find a castle or a town and ask around.
SIGN    That's how roleplaying games work.
[06:28] Momo
    Then let's get looking for a town!
[06:30] Momo
    Eh?
[06:35] Momo
    What's wrong? I can't move!
[06:37] Lupi
    Gotta move!
[06:39] Chamo
    Let's move!
SIGN    Moving...
[06:41] Momo
    I can't move!
SIGN    That's right, we're characters in a game now.
SIGN    We can't move unless someone on the outside moves us.
[06:50] Chamo
    Oh, no!
[07:07] Papa
    Oh? There's characters...
[07:10] Papa
    Hey, dear! I think your hero's back!
[07:14] Mama
    Say what?!
[07:23] Papa
    Are you all right?
[07:24] Mama
    Hero... My hero...
[07:26] Mama
    Yes!
[07:28] Mama
    Oh, but he looks different.
[07:30] Mama
    And he didn't always have
    those allies with him...
[07:35] Mama
    I'm pretty sure my hero was a boy!
[07:38] Mama
    And this character looks kind of familiar...
[07:43] Mama
    It can't be, can it?
[07:45] Momo
    Stay away!
SIGN    Ow, ow, ow!
[07:49] Chamo
    That hurts!
[07:50] Lupi
    H-Help me!
[07:54] Papa
    Dear, she needs help!
[07:57] Mama
    I guess so.
[07:58] Mama
    I don't really know what's going on,
[08:00] Mama
    but I guess I'll give it a try!
[08:06] Momo
    Hey, I moved!
[08:07] Chamo
    So did I!
SIGN    Let's run!
[08:09] Lupi
    Which way?
[08:10] Momo
    To the left!
[08:14] Chamo
    My body won't listen to me!
SIGN    I bet your mother's at the controls!
[08:19] Mama
    This way, not that way! That way!
[08:21] Mama
    That way! Yes, that way! No, this way!
[08:25] Momo
    That way, that way... that way, that way...
[08:28] Chamo
    This way, this way!
SIGN    What's going on here?!
[08:32] Lupi
    Your mother's so bad at this!
[08:37] Queen
    Look out!
[08:38] King
    La-dee-da! What's her mother doing?
[08:41] King
    Momo's almost out of hit points!
[08:43] King
    If she runs out of hit points
    in the game, she dies!
[08:47] Queen
    Will that happen to the real Momo, too?
[08:49] King
    Yes! It'll be curtains!
[08:51] Queen
    Run, Momo!
[08:55] Kids
    Please! Help!
[08:59] Kids
    Hey, there's some weird characters in there!
[09:02] Kids
    They're almost out of hit points!
[09:05] Kids
    Yeah! But they don't have any herbs, either.
[09:07] Kids
    And they can't use healing spells!
[09:09] Kids
    They've gotta get to a castle or a town,
[09:12] Kids
    or they're gonna die!
[09:13] Kids
    Hang in there! You're almost to a castle!
[09:16] All
    Go! Go! Go!
[09:20] Papa
    Dear, you'd better hurry or the
    hero will be eaten by a monster!
[09:23] Mama
    You're not helping!
[09:25] Mama
    They're not following my controls!
[09:33] Momo
    Oh, oh, oh!
[09:34] Momo
    When did so many enemies show up?!
[09:36] Chamo
    We're done for! They're gonna eat us!
[09:39] Momo
    Quit crying and run!
[09:41] Momo
    Wait, huh?
[09:43] Lupi
    I can move myself again!
[09:46] Chamo
    Yeah! I wonder what happened!
SIGN    We'll investigate later!
SIGN    For now, run!
[09:50] Momo
    Yeah! Run!
[10:00] Lupi
    A castle!
SIGN    Lucky us!
SIGN    If we make it inside, we'll be inside a barrier,
SIGN    and the monsters won't be able to follow us!
[10:07] Momo
    Great!
[10:22] Mama
    Well, that's a relief.
[10:24] Papa
    I got so fired up, it was like I was
    rooting for a member of my own family!
[10:28] Mama
    Agreed!
[10:29] Mama
    And it looks like the characters
    are moving on their own now, so...
[10:33] Sign
    Fairy Princess
[10:33] Sign
    Minky Momo
[10:38] Sign
    Fairy Princess
[10:38] Sign
    Minky Momo
SIGN    I'm exhausted!
[10:58] Momo
    Oh, my!
[11:00] Momo
    It's posters asking about the hero!
[11:03] Lupi
    Forget that for now! Where
    in the world are we?!
[11:06] Woman
    Welcome to Laconia, the castle town.
[11:09] Momo
    It's a pleasure to meet you.
[11:11] Momo
    We're looking for the hero there.
[11:13] Momo
    Have you seen him?
[11:14] Woman
    Welcome to Laconia, the castle town.
[11:17] Momo
    Um, thanks.
[11:19] Momo
    Um, so... do you know where the hero—
SIGN    It won't work, Momo.
SIGN    We're inside a game.
SIGN    The characters can only say what they were programmed to say.
[11:28] Momo
    I see. That's inconvenient.
[11:30] Woman
    Oh, no, it's our job to do
    exactly as we were told.
[11:34] Woman
    It's only natural.
[11:36] Momo
    Is that the line you always say?
[11:39] Woman
    Well, saying the same line
    every time gets so boring.
[11:43] Woman
    Sometimes you just want
    to say something new!
[11:47] Lupi
    Are you sure it's okay for you
    to make up your own lines?
[11:50] Woman
    Actually, yeah, I am saying
    the wrong lines now...
[11:54] Woman
    Is this okay?
SIGN    I get it now!
SIGN    The disappearance of the main character
SIGN    and us entering the game world
SIGN    is throwing the programming out of whack!
[12:05] Momo
    Is that also why we went between being
    controlled and moving on our own before?
SIGN    I'm okay about the part where we can move freely,
SIGN    but everyone else moving freely might throw the world into chaos.
SIGN    We've got to find the hero and restore things to normal
SIGN    before something awful happens!
[12:22] Momo
    What do we do?!
SIGN    For now, let's go see the king.
SIGN    He might know something.
[12:27] Momo
    Yeah.
[12:38] King
    Are you the ones who asked to see me?
[12:40] Momo
    Yes!
[12:41] King
    And how can I help you?
[12:43] Momo
    We're looking for the missing hero, Lito!
[12:45] King
    Oh, that's good to hear.
[12:47] King
    The loss of the hero means none of
    our scheduled events are happening.
[12:54] Momo
    Do you know where he might be, Your Majesty?
[12:57] King
    Yes, I do!
[12:59] King
    The truth is, since I gained the ability
    to move on my own, I snuck out for a walk.
[13:05] King
    And I saw the hero entering a cave!
[13:08] Lupi
    Then why didn't you call him back?!
[13:11] King
    Never! I am a king.
[13:13] King
    My job is to wait for the hero here.
[13:17] King
    None of the rest of it is my business.
[13:19] Lupi
    Oh, what a selfish old king!
[13:22] King
    A king has a right to be selfish.
[13:24] King
    Oh, I know!
[13:26] King
    If you want to go save the hero,
[13:29] King
    I can lend you the royal
    sword and a suit of armor.
[13:33] Momo
    That sounds great!
SIGN    Would that sword happen to be the sacred sword bestowed to heroes?
[13:38] King
    That's right!
[13:39] King
    Once I bestow it on someone,
    that means my job is over.
[13:44] King
    Then I can just nap and daydream
    and do whatever I want!
[13:47] Chamo
    So selfish!
[13:53] Mama
    This game isn't much like the
    magazines described it...
[13:57] Mama
    The characters are all
    moving on their own, too.
[14:00] Papa
    Well, that's okay, isn't it?
[14:01] Papa
    We even learned where the hero is!
[14:03] Mama
    No, no! It's boring if I
    can't control it myself!
[14:12] Lupi
    Get back here, you!
[14:17] King
    Yes, keep it up! La-dee-da!
[14:19] Queen
    It's a dungeon!
[14:20] Queen
    Be careful, Momo!
[14:26] Chamo
    It's dark and creepy in here!
[14:29] Momo
    Let's muster our courage and venture forth!
SIGN    Is that...
[14:39] Momo
    Hooray! A treasure chest!
[14:42] Lupi
    Oh, what sort of wonderful
    treasure could be inside?
[14:47] Both
    Heave-ho!
[14:49] Momo
    Huh?
[14:50] Lupi
    Is this a treasure?
[14:52] Lito
    I'm not a dang treasure.
[14:54] Lito
    I'm a person and my name is Lito!
[14:56] Momo
    Lito? Then you're the hero?
[14:59] Lito
    Nah. I've quit the hero biz.
[15:01] Lito
    I'm hiding in here until
    people forget about me.
[15:05] Lito
    Leave me be, would you?
[15:07] Momo
    Wait a minute! What's going on?
[15:08] Momo
    Why are you quitting heroing?
[15:10] Lito
    Having made it this far, you should know.
[15:13] Lito
    A hero has to fight scary monsters every day,
[15:17] Lito
    scraping together money to save some
    princess you've barely met seen.
[15:22] Lito
    Why do I have to suffer like that?
[15:28] Zone
    So that's where you were hiding, Hero Lito.
[15:31] Lito
    You're Demon King Zone!
[15:33] Lito
    How did you get here?
[15:35] Zone
    Thanks to your newly-found cowardice,
[15:38] Zone
    I've been released from the
    bounds of my programming,
[15:40] Zone
    and now I'm free!
[15:45] Momo
    This isn't funny!
[15:47] Lupi
    Yeah!
[15:48] Lupi
    Go on! Defeat that bad guy already!
[15:52] Zone
    If you think you can face
    me, then try your best!
[16:00] Momo
    We're falling!
[16:08] Rubisa
    Help me, Lito!
[16:10] Zone
    Princess Rubisa!
[16:14] Lupi
    Saving the princess is your job, isn't it?
[16:16] Lupi
    Do something!
[16:18] Lito
    I can't!
[16:19] Momo
    Why not?
[16:20] Lito
    I'm not a high enough level
    to beat the Demon King!
[16:23] Momo
    How will you know unless you try?
[16:26] Momo
    It's gross to give up
    before you've even tried!
[16:28] Lito
    No, I'm scared!
[16:30] Lito
    Please, just leave me alone!
[16:34] Zone
    You see that? That's who your hero really is!
[16:37] Zone
    Now, I'll start by crushing this girl!
[16:44] Momo
    This is awful!
[16:46] Momo
    You've made me mad!
[16:52] Momo
    Parariru Parariru Doririnpa!
[16:55] Momo
    Tiaran Tianan Maririnpa!
[16:58] Momo
    Become a hero with a Minky touch!
[17:28] Kid
    Hey, there's two heroes now!
[17:30] Kid
    Yeah!
[17:31] Kid
    And the new hero is already level 60!
[17:35] Momo
    Try me, Demon King Zone!
[17:37] Momo
    I'll face you!
[17:38] Zone
    And who might you be?
[17:39] Momo
    Warrior of Justice, Momo the Hero!
[17:42] Momo
    Now, give the princess back!
[17:44] Zone
    A nobody hero like you challenges me?
[17:48] Zone
    You don't stand a chance!
[17:50] Momo
    You've said it now.
[17:51] Momo
    Face my fire magic!
[17:53] Momo
    Blazer!
[17:56] Momo
    Eh?
[17:57] Momo
    Then... lightning magic!
[17:59] Momo
    Kapow!
[18:01] Momo
    Eh?
[18:02] Momo
    Ice magic, Shiver!
[18:04] Momo
    Air blades, Whoosh!
[18:06] Momo
    Froom! Babam! Kerpow!
[18:08] Momo
    What's going on?
[18:10] Chamo
    What went wrong?
SIGN    Momo wasn't programmed into the game's system,
SIGN    so even at a high level, she can't use magic.
[18:19] Zone
    What's the matter, child?
[18:21] Zone
    I'll take my turn now.
[18:23] Zone
    Fire magic!
[18:27] Chamo
    Momo's in trouble!
[18:30] Momo
    Cookbook! Chamo! Lupipi!
[18:35] Momo
    Open your eyes, Lito the Hero!
[18:37] Momo
    You're the only one who can save this world!
[18:41] Zone
    Nothing you say will change anything.
[18:43] Zone
    He's a mere marionette, forced to dance
    for the audience in the role of a hero.
[18:48] Zone
    Take this! Lightning magic!
[18:53] Trio
    Momo!
[18:54] Lito
    Momo the Hero!
[18:55] Kid
    The hero lost!
[18:58] Kid
    That's okay! She's not dead!
[18:59] Kid
    And Lito the Hero is still there!
[19:02] Kid
    He'll beat Demon King Zone for sure!
[19:04] Kid
    Yeah! Get him!
[19:07] Mama
    Go, Lito!
[19:08] Papa
    Go for it! We're with you!
[19:10] Momo
    Stand up, Lito the Hero!
[19:13] Momo
    If you don't stand up now,
    you'll regret it all your life!
[19:24] Kids
    Lito! Lito! Lito! Lito! Lito!
[19:30] Lito
    I'm the legendary hero, born
    to bring peace to this world!
[19:35] Lito
    Who will protect this world if I don't?!
[19:39] Lito
    Let's go, Demon King Zone!
[19:41] Zone
    Feeling up to it, child?
[19:43] Zone
    But your bravery is pointless.
[19:45] Zone
    You cannot defeat me at your current level!
[19:51] Momo
    Lito! Use this!
[19:55] Lito
    This is... the legendary sword, Peach Blade!
[19:59] Lito
    What is this... the power
    welling up from inside me?
[20:03] Momo
    The power of the children's hopes
    and dreams are empowering you!
[20:08] Zone
    Wretched fool!
[20:10] Zone
    Feel the most powerful spell, Gigantos!
[20:15] All
    Go, Lito the Hero!
[20:18] Lito
    I won't give up!
[20:22] Zone
    I-Impossible! He can't break through
    Gigantos at his current level!
[20:30] Lito
    Die, Demon King!
[20:40] Lito
    Princess Rubisa!
[20:43] Rubisa
    Lito, thank you!
[20:44] Momo
    Well done, Lito the Hero!
[20:46] Kids
    Nice one, Lito the Hero!
[20:47] Kids
    You did it!
[20:48] Kids
    Hooray!
[20:49] Mama
    What a romantic story!
[20:52] Papa
    Yes, a truly moving event!
[20:55] Papa
    I'm sure it was fully planned from the start.
[21:04] Mama
    Oh, Momo! What are you dressed like that for?
[21:06] Momo
    Oh, whoops!
[21:08] Momo
    I forgot to give it back.
[21:17] Lito
    Your Highness, our world
    will now be happy forever.
[21:21] Rubisa
    Lito...
[21:23] Lito
    Princess...
[21:29] King
    And so the game reached its happy ending!
[21:32] King
    La-dee-da?
[21:34] Rubisa
    But...
[21:35] Rubisa
    The other...
[21:37] Rubisa
    The one who appeared out of nowhere,
    and disappeared just as suddenly...
[21:41] Lito
    Momo the Hero.
[21:42] Lito
    I'll never forget the
    friendship you showed me.
[21:45] Rubisa
    Momo the Hero... she was so wonderful!
[21:49] Rubisa
    I love you, Momo!
[21:51] King
    Oh, dear. What's all this, now?
[21:53] Queen
    What's the matter?
[21:55] King
    It looks like it's not over.
[21:57] Queen
    Oh?
[21:58] King
    The princess, unable to
    forget the other hero,
[22:02] King
    abandoned Lito the Hero and left the
    castle to find the Momo the Hero.
[22:08] King
    But that will all be explored
    another time in another game!
[22:14] Lito
    Princess! Please, come back!
[22:18] Momo
    Oh, dear.
SIGN    I guess you can't program a girl's feelings.
[22:23] Momo
    But if video games are this much
    fun, I might have to play again!
[22:29] Momo
    Next time as the main character!

[24:11] Momo
    Piano, piano.
[24:12] Momo
    The piano cries, seeking memories.
[24:14] Momo
    The snow falls, summoned by the piano.
[24:16] Momo
    Piano, piano. Tell me, piano...
[24:19] Momo
    Let frozen fingers free days
    of love buried by the snow.
[24:22] Momo
    Next time on Fairy Princess Minky Momo:
[24:24] Momo
    "A Concert in the Snow."
[24:26] Momo
    You can say that kind of late-autumn
    reflective tone doesn't suit me,
[24:29] Momo
    but I'm still gonna do it!

[24:31] Momo
    La-dee-da-dee-da!
