SIGN    Summary of previous episodes
[00:02] ---
    Last time on Frankenstein Family*:
[00:07] ---
    It's hard to be a family of kids all alone.
[00:11] ---
    So we need the help of an adult...
[00:15] ---
    But how do you find out if*
    you can trust someone or not?
[00:22] ---
    The landlord took us out
    to get new furniture.
[00:28] ---
    He showed us the island
    and it was really fun,
[00:31] ---
    but apparently, the furniture
    had already been sold...
[00:36] ---
    When I saw how upset he looked about it,
[00:39] ---
    I felt a little silly for doubting him.
[00:45] ---
    But we can just pick up new
    furniture at the junk heap!
[00:49] ---
    That's what we've always done, after all.

[02:59] dr
    I just ran out of the medicine he'd need.
[03:01] dr
    I'd need to go to the mainland to get more,
[03:04] dr
    but I'm a bit busy.
[03:06] land
    I'll go, then.
[03:08] dr
    What about your job?
[03:11] land
    I'll figure it out somehow.
[03:15] dr
    You're hopeless.
[03:17] dr
    Well, come along to the clinic with me.
[03:20] land
    All right.
[03:23] land
    Everyone, do exactly as
    I'm about to tell you.
[03:27] ashi
    What?
[03:43] ashi
    How's Snow?
[03:44] ai
    How'd it go?
[03:46] tan
    It's not that bad, it's just...
[03:49] ashi
    The landlord's getting medicine, so I'm
    sure Snow will be better very soon!
[03:53] ashi
    Right? Right? Right?
[03:58] tan
    The medicine won't get
    here until the weekend.
[04:02] ai
    What is it?
[04:05] tan
    I think there might be someone here on
    the island with medicine for this illness.
[04:10] ai
    You're heading out again? If you go
    alone, you'll get lost, you know.
[04:17] ai
    Once Snow's better, he'll have to buy
    me lot of treats to make it up to me.
[04:23] ashi
    Then I'll go, too!
[04:25] ashi
    An outing is better with more people!
[04:27] tan
    Ashisu-neesan!
[04:30] tan
    You're awesome! Yeah!
[04:32] ai
    Hey! Praise me, too!

    I said I'd go first!

    Aisuri-neesan is pretty great, too!

    Darn it...
[04:44] ashi
    Well, watch the house, Suishi-chan!
[04:46] ai
    Don't worry.
[04:48] ai
    She'd never leave the house anyway.
[04:51] tan
    We'll be back as soon as we can. Let's go.
[04:53] tan
    Sure.
[05:09] land
    I'm off!

    Huh? You want to use my computer?
[05:20] land
    If you want to, I suppose...
[05:22] land
    Do you know how to use it, Suishi-chan?
[05:26] sui
    Don't worry.
[05:28] sui
    I won't touch the folder marked
    "Study Materials" on Drive E.
[05:33] land
    How did she know?!
[05:35] land
    I get it. Use it as much as you like.
[05:38] land
    If you want to use it for studying,
    I'm obviously in favor!
[05:42] land
    Work hard!
[05:42] sui
    Certainly not.
[05:45] sui
    I don't care about that.

    Tadao
    Tomo-chan and I found a great place earlier.
SIGN    TOMO
    So what restaurant did Yuki-chan and Akira-chan go to?
    Yu

    You should let Suishi play, too.

    Wanna play with me, Suishi-chan?

    Shut up...
[10:52] (Flashback) sui
    Why won't Papa and Mama let us go outside?
[10:56] (Flashback) snow
    I don't know either, but it's probably
    because the outside world is dangerous.
[11:05] (Flashback) snow
    You wanna go outside?
[11:08] (Flashback) snow
    No. It's safer inside. I like it this way.
[11:38] owner
    Oh?
[11:43] owner
    Welcome. What can I get you?
[11:53] owner
    What can I get you, dear?
[11:56] sui
    I'm not well off enough to be coming here
    and drinking instant coffee at triple markup.
[12:02] owner
    Wh-What did you say? We only
    use hand-ground beans...
[12:07] teach
    Two instant mochas.
[12:17] teach
    I knew it would be her.
[12:23] sui
    Who are you?
[12:25] sui
    What are you looking for?
[12:28] sui
    How do you know about me?
[12:29] teach
    A fine question.
[12:32] teach
    Excuse me, where's our coffee?
[12:34] teach
    Hurry it up, please.
[12:35] own
    Sure thing! Coming right up!
[12:46] teach
    If she guesses it right, I'll tell her.
[12:51] sui
    Where's the medicine?
[12:54] teach
    If you guess right, I'll tell you right away.
[13:09] teach
    Why won't you speak?
[13:12] sui
    Give me the medicine.
[13:14] teach
    Is that how you ask someone for a favor?
[13:18] teach
    You're so impatient. Honestly...
[13:23] sui
    I'm leaving.
[13:25] sui
    I don't like to waste time.
[13:29] teach
    Are you sure?
[13:37] teach
    Someone needs you, don't they?
[13:44] sui
    I'll find it.
[13:49] teach
    Congratulations.
[13:58] teach
    You found me.
[14:05] owner
    Enjoy!
[14:06] teach
    Tanisu and the others
    came by my shop earlier.
[14:12] teach
    You really don't remember me, do you?
[14:21] sui
    The woman from back then.
[14:23] teach
    You only just remembered?
[14:25] teach
    I've seen a lot of children in my time,
    but I've never met a family like yours.
[14:31] sui
    You came to meet me because
    you knew it was me?
[14:33] teach
    Tanisu came to see me and Yu Kaito
    asked me to look after you.
[14:38] teach
    You were logged in with his ID, you know?
[14:42] teach
    I never thought this would happen.
[14:45] teach
    The reason I wouldn't give it to anyone else
[14:47] teach
    is because the ingredients are very precious.
[14:49] teach
    Even endemic diseases can be cured.
[14:54] sui
    Why did you give them to me?
[14:56] teach
    Because you came to get it yourself.
[15:00] teach
    You hate going outside, don't you?
[15:03] teach
    But here you are anyway.
[15:06] teach
    You were beside yourself,
    racing against time, right?
[15:13] teach
    Well, go ahead and relax.
[15:15] teach
    If he takes this, he'll get
    better within a few days.
[15:18] teach
    But never do this again, okay?
[15:22] teach
    It's dangerous for girls to go out
    to meet people they don't know.
[15:26] teach
    Don't do it.
[15:28] sui
    I wasn't in a hurry because Snow was sick.
[15:34] sui
    We need our brother.
[15:39] sui
    Because we're family.

    Thank you very much.
[17:39] sign
    "If you were going to be modified,
    what power would you want?"
[17:45] land
    I've been thinking... you all seem a
    bit naive about how the world works...
SIGN    Yu Kaito Voice: Horie Kazuma 32 years old, the landlord who takes in the five siblings and is a perpetual research student.
[17:49] land
    But Tanisu-kun, you seem less so.
[17:52] tan
    Well... I am a genius, after all.
[17:56] land
    A genius?
[17:58] land
    I don't need anything too over-the-top.
SIGN    If you were going to be modified, what power would you want?
SIGN    Yu Kaito
    Horie Kazuma
[18:01] land
    But I do love cats.
[18:03] land
    So the ability to know what other animals
    are thinking, not necessarily just cats.
[18:09] land
    To be able to know what they're
    thinking and saying.
[18:14] land
    To understand them. That kind of power.
[18:18] land
    For instance, you see a cat on the roadside,
[18:22] land
    and you say "hello" to it,
[18:24] land
    and it says, "Hey, Kazuma-kun!
[18:26] land
    It might rain today! Don't
    forget an umbrella!"
[18:29] land
    Something like that would be fine.
[18:31] land
    The ability to talk to and
     communicate with animals.
[18:35] land
    Especially cats.
[18:38] land
    That'd be really nice.
[18:39] land
    It would be exciting.
[18:40] land
    It's not possible, but if I could be
    modified, that's what I'd ask for.
[18:46] land
    Please help me!
[18:47] land
    Yes?
[18:48] land
    Do you have a second choice?
[18:50] land
    A second choice?
[18:51] land
    Let's see... having wings, or
    an engine that would let me fly.
[18:55] land
    I'd prefer something that looked stylish.
[18:58] land
    What do you think? Some doctor
    out there, make it happen!
[19:03] [SONG] sign
    We also asked Kubo Yurika, who was backstage at
    the Anime Japan 2018 Frankenstein Family booth...
[19:06] sign
    This says, "If you were going to be modified,
    what power would you want?"
SIGN    Sumire Voice: Kubo Yurika 10 years old, she ends up getting to know Tanisu after a chance meeting on the island.
[19:16] sign
    Of course it is!
[19:20] sign
    Here.
[19:26] sign
    Bye-bye!
SIGN    If you were going to be modified, what power would you want?
[19:27] sign
    There's one that I definitely want.
SIGN    Sumire
    Kubo Yurika
[19:32] sign
    It's... the ability to drink and
    drink and never have a hangover!
[19:37] sign
    That's an adult thing.
[19:39] sign
    As I get older, I become more
    and more prone to hangovers.
[19:43] sign
    I'd like to be able to drink all I want
    and not have it linger the next day.
[19:48] sign
    I'd like a body that can
    disperse that stress.
[19:52] sign
    That's my mature point of
    view on being modified.
[19:56] sign
    That would be great to have, I think.
[19:58] sign
    I'd drink all night, every night.
[19:59] ---
    Yes.
[20:00] ---
    I come from Nara Prefecture,
SIGN    What's your second choice for power?
[20:03] sign
    and I really love Nara,
[20:05] sign
    so the ability to go back to Nara
    in a second whenever I want.
[20:09] sign
    Teleportation, right?
[20:11] sign
    That's an ability I'd really like to have.
[20:13] sign
    Until they invent linear motors,
    it's just really far away.
[20:16] sign
    So I want the ability to go home quick.
[20:19] sign
    And that was Kubo Yurika,
    voice actress for Sumire!
[20:25] [SONG] sign
    We also asked the staff at Anime Japan
     2018's Frankenstein Family booth
[20:32] sign
    What? The ability to point somewhere,
    and make grass grow there.
SIGN    If you were going to be modified, what power would you want?
[20:42] sign
    And flowers and stuff.
[20:46] sign
    I want a beautiful power.
[20:49] sign
    Anything else?
[20:50] sign
    Besides that?
[20:51] sign
    The power to fly. I'd like the power to fly.
[20:56] sign
    I'd stand on the top of Tokyo Tower.
[20:59] sign
    I'd like to look down on Tokyo from there.
[21:03] sign
    Although I am acrophobic.
[21:06] sign
    I sing, so the power to save the
    world with my song would be great.
[21:14] sign
    The power to fly!
[21:17] sign
    I want to go on a trip by flying.
[21:21] sign
    Otherwise...
[21:23] sign
    The ability to eat what I want forever.
[21:28] sign
    I want to eat all kinds of things.
SIGN    Frankenstein Extras Extra
[21:33] [SONG] sign
    We asked Namikawa-san!
    "What's the second power you'd want?"
[21:36] sign
    Everyone. Good evening.
SIGN    Snow
    Namikawa Daisuke
[21:38] sign
    And good day. I'm Namikawa Daisuke.
[21:42] snow
    Well... to them, the way they
    are now is the real them.
SIGN    Snow 17 years old, the oldest of the five siblings He was fused with a white dog and can maintain human, canine, and half-dog forms.
[21:47] snow
    If I couldn't become a dog, if you weren't
    a genius... you'd hate it, wouldn't you?
[21:52] snow
    It would be like something's missing.
[21:54] tan
    Is that it?
[21:56] tan
    The ability to endure anything if I can
     just hold out for five seconds.
SIGN    If you were going to be modified, what power would you want?
[22:02] tan
    That's a power I want.
[22:04] tan
    For instance, if I think I really
    want to eat some ramen,
[22:09] tan
    and can hold it off five seconds,
[22:11] tan
    then I'm like, "Oh? Did I want to eat that?"
[22:13] tan
    The ability to do something like that.
[22:16] tan
    If I think, "Oh, I'm so sleepy!"
[22:18] tan
    then I restrain myself,
[22:19] tan
    and suddenly I'm like, "Oh? I'm not sleepy."
[22:22] tan
    That's a power I want.
[22:24] tan
    I think the viewers at home
    are probably thinking this,
[22:28] tan
    "You can do that anyway!"
    You probably think that.
[22:32] tan
    But what do you think of this?
[22:34] tan
    If there was a 10,000 yen
    bill in front of you,
[22:38] tan
    you turn it in, right?
[22:40] tan
    That's the right answer.
    You take it to the police.
[22:42] tan
    I'd do that, too.
[22:43] tan
    But you can do that, so why can't you
    hold back on buying 800 yen ramen?
SIGN    Seriously!
[22:52] sign
    Don't you agree?
[22:54] sign
    The power to resist your urges.
    I'd really like a power like that.
[23:00] sign
    If anyone can make that
    happen, please contact me.
SIGN    Please do not contact him.
[23:07] sign
    Make it happen with a button.
