**[00:46] ---**
Greetings.
**[00:51] ---**
I welcome you...
**[00:55] ---**
...to the house of evil waves.
**[01:01] ---**
Motoko! What are you screaming about
this early in the morning?!
**[01:07] ---**
Get up or you'll be late for school!
**[01:11] ---**
She's a Demon Queen.
**[01:19] ---**
"Fruits Basket"
**[02:51] ---**
Hey, look, Tohru.
**[02:53] ---**
Huh?
**[02:54] ---**
Hanajima's chatting
with Kinoshita and Yamagishi.
**[02:56] ---**
Oh, she is!
**[02:58] ---**
Perhaps they've become friends?
**[03:00] ---**
Not a chance. Doesn't she hate their kind?
**[03:05] ---**
Hey, Hanajima.
**[03:08] ---**
Oh, you were watching?
**[03:10] ---**
What happened?
They have a problem with you?
**[03:13] ---**
They're writing a special article
on waves for the next school paper
**[03:17] ---**
and asked if they could
come to my house for it.
**[03:22] ---**
What? Why'd they wanna do an article on that?
**[03:25] ---**
I'm not sure.
**[03:27] ---**
Though, I certainly felt unpleasant waves.
**[03:32] ---**
And you said okay?
**[03:34] ---**
Of course I did.
**[03:36] ---**
I never back down from a wave fight.
**[03:38] ---**
Now that's what I'm talking about!
**[03:41] ---**
They sound so shady, I've
gotta get in on this.
**[03:44] ---**
Can I come, too?
**[03:46] ---**
Yes, of course.
**[03:48] ---**
Tohru-*kun*, are you coming, too?
**[03:49] ---**
Oh, sorry. Um, I have work again today.
**[03:54] ---**
And Kisa-*san* and Hiro-*san*
are coming over later.
**[03:57] ---**
I see. Oh, well.
**[04:02] ---**
Let's go to class.
**[04:04] ---**
Man, I'm excited.
**[04:18] ---**
Oh,
**[04:21] ---**
why?
**[04:23] ---**
Yuki is shining more
brightly than usual today.
**[04:28] ---**
Why is it?
**[04:29] ---**
Is the dignity of being the
next president exuding from him?
**[04:33] ---**
No... No, it's something else.
**[04:37] ---**
It's the brilliance of a prince.
Yuki's natural brilliance!
**[04:43] ---**
Motoko-*sempai*! We got
the invite to Wave Girl's house!
**[04:47] ---**
You did it. You actually did it, Minami-*san*!
**[04:50] ---**
Did Wave Girl suspect anything?
**[04:53] ---**
Not a thing! She was okay
with it right away.
**[04:57] ---**
Wonderful! Now we just
need to stick to the plan.
**[05:02] ---**
Prince Yuki's first-year
representative, Mio Yamagishi!
**[05:05] ---**
Yes!
**[05:06] ---**
Second-year representative,
Minami Kinoshita!
**[05:09] ---**
Yes!
**[05:10] ---**
And me, third-year representative,
Motoko Minagawa.
**[05:14] ---**
The three of us will definitely
succeed in our plan...
**[05:20] ---**
...to get rid of Tohru Honda!
**[05:22] ---**
Yes, ma'am!
**[05:33] ---**
"Prince Yuki" is Yuki Soma's
fan club at Kaibara High School.
**[05:41] ---**
Its membership includes over
half of the female students.
**[05:46] ---**
They are dedicated to praising,
loving, and protecting the prince
**[05:49] ---**
who has graced their school
with his presence.
**[05:52] ---**
In other words, "Don't secretly
get close to him, tramp!"
***SIGN*** "1. Never steal the prince's personal effects. 2. Never invade the prince's home. 3. Never speak to the prince without someone else present.
**[05:57] ---**
The club's core principles
are strictly enforced.
***SIGN*** 4. Always address the prince by the following: Third Years = Yuki Second Years = Yuki-kun, First years = Soma-kun. 5. etc..."
**[06:01] ---**
Those who go against
the principles, even non-members,
**[06:04] ---**
may be painfully punished. Or not.
**[06:08] ---**
I cannot allow this.
**[06:10] ---**
After our unpredictable *sempai* graduated,
**[06:12] ---**
I thought our club would finally
be able to function properly.
**[06:16] ---**
But then Tohru Honda comes along
and makes countless grievous offenses.
**[06:20] ---**
What right does she have
to smile by Yuki's side,
**[06:23] ---**
or accompany him to and from school?
**[06:26] ---**
She even seems close to Yuki's relative!
**[06:30] ---**
Tohru Honda is a witch!
**[06:37] ---**
If as a result of that witch's deception,
our magnificent Yuki falls in... l-l-love,
**[06:42] ---**
what shall I do?!
**[06:44] ---**
Please, stop!
**[06:46] ---**
We must protect him from that witch!
**[06:49] ---**
Yes, you're absolutely right, Minami-*san*!
**[06:53] ---**
However... However, the witch is under
the protection of a powerful Demon Queen.
**[07:00] ---**
Yes, that Demon Queen
who controls evil waves.
**[07:04] ---**
Right... those were some strong evil waves.
**[07:08] ---**
--That's all right, then.
--It's *her*!
**[07:10] ---**
I stayed in bed for a week straight.
I could hear voices in my head.
**[07:15] ---**
They were forever making
a racket as I laid on my pillow.
**[07:18] ---**
Who's "they"?
**[07:20] ---**
I understand what
you went through, Minami-*san*!
**[07:23] ---**
Arisa Uotani is a delinquent,
but still human.
**[07:26] ---**
We still stand a chance against her.
**[07:29] ---**
But that Hanajima!
**[07:31] ---**
She's not even human!
**[07:33] ---**
Her powers are way stronger
than a normal human's!
**[07:36] ---**
Yes, that's absolutely true.
**[07:40] ---**
However, to get rid of the witch,
**[07:43] ---**
we must drive away the Demon Queen first.
**[07:47] ---**
Which is why our plan to infiltrate
Wave Girl's home must succeed!
**[07:53] ---**
We must find the Demon Queen's
weakness at all costs,
**[07:56] ---**
and use that to seal away the evil waves!
**[08:00] ---**
This is also to protect
our innocent Yuki's heart.
**[08:05] ---**
Let's give it our all! In
the name of Prince Yuki!
**[08:10] ---**
Yeah!
**[08:12] ---**
Yes, Prince Yuki! Go, go!
**[08:24] ---**
We turn here.
**[08:26] ---**
Huh? Oh, okay!
**[08:29] ---**
S-So you go to school by train, Hanajima-*san*?
**[08:41] ---**
We mustn't be afraid. Stand strong.
**[08:45] ---**
We must stand strong
against this Demon Queen.
**[08:48] ---**
Okay.
**[08:49] ---**
But I wonder what
Hanajima-*sempai*'s house is like.
**[08:55] ---**
I-I mean, I imagine it to be...
**[09:01] ---**
...an old European building
with graves surrounding it,
**[09:05] ---**
under a constantly dark sky,
**[09:08] ---**
with overgrown vines all over.
**[09:11] ---**
In her room, there'd be a mysterious
magic circle or fallen statues.
**[09:15] ---**
And she might even perform rituals there.
**[09:22] ---**
Sempai, what should we do?
What if it's actually like that?
**[09:27] ---**
We'll run away at the speed of light.
**[09:30] ---**
We're here.
**[09:32] ---**
Right here.
**[09:33] ---**
Huh? That was fast.
**[09:38] ---**
It's a normal house!
**[09:40] ---**
O-Oh, Mio-*san*, you really scared us there.
**[09:44] ---**
The real battle starts now!
**[09:47] ---**
Yeah!
**[09:48] ---**
Let's enter.
**[10:00] ---**
Th-Thanks for having us.
**[10:06] ---**
It's quite a spacious home.
**[10:10] ---**
I'll go make some tea.
**[10:12] ---**
My room is down the hall on the second floor.
**[10:16] ---**
Oh, and...
**[10:18] ---**
For your own sakes, it's better
not to say your names in this house.
**[10:25] ---**
Why not?
**[10:32] ---**
Her room's normal, too. What a relief.
**[10:35] ---**
There's a lot of black, though.
**[10:38] ---**
Motoko-*sempai*, I don't want to drink...
**[10:42] ---**
...tea made by Wave Girl!
**[10:45] ---**
Minami-*san*, Mio-*san*! Stay strong!
**[10:47] ---**
Stay strong and drink it!
**[10:50] ---**
More importantly, now's our chance,
while the Demon Queen isn't here!
**[10:54] ---**
Oh, right!
**[10:55] ---**
We must find the Demon Queen's weakness.
**[10:58] ---**
Th-They're all black.
**[11:01] ---**
Find a weakness...
**[11:03] ---**
Whoa, i-it's all black.
**[11:07] ---**
Find a weakness...
**[11:09] ---**
Huh?
**[11:11] ---**
She likes *shojo* manga? I didn't expect that.
**[11:15] ---**
It doesn't really scream "weakness," though.
**[11:19] ---**
Oh, I have this series, too.
**[11:22] ---**
We need to find something!
A diary, a picture, or even a poem!
**[11:26] ---**
A poem?!
**[11:27] ---**
Those are embarrassing!
**[11:29] ---**
"Apparently, they have personal experience."
**[11:30] ---**
Yes, that's right.
**[11:32] ---**
When it comes down to it, anything--
even underwear--will work.
**[11:35] ---**
We'll use any...
**[11:38] ---**
...thing.
**[11:40] ---**
--Thanks for waiting--
--Hanajima-*san*!
**[11:42] ---**
There's something behind that door!
**[11:45] ---**
Oh, is it Megumi?
**[11:47] ---**
Me-Me-Me...?
**[11:48] ---**
My younger brother.
**[11:50] ---**
I saw his shoes, so I knew
he was home from school.
**[11:54] ---**
A little brother?
**[11:56] ---**
She has a little brother?!
**[11:58] ---**
Megumi? Stop hiding
and come introduce yourself.
**[12:05] ---**
Hello.
**[12:06] ---**
Come all the way out!
**[12:09] ---**
You're not Tohru-*san* and Arisa-*san*.
**[12:12] ---**
Are you Saki's new friends?
**[12:15] ---**
No. They're strangers that happen
to go to the same school
**[12:18] ---**
and be the same gender as me.
**[12:21] ---**
Is that sarcasm?!
**[12:30] ---**
Y-You look a lot like your sister.
**[12:33] ---**
That's not true.
**[12:35] ---**
--You look the same!
--Like two peas in a pod!
**[12:38] ---**
Um, Megumi-*kun*? Can you use waves, too?
**[12:46] ---**
I don't have that power.
**[12:49] ---**
The only power I have...
**[12:52] ---**
...is to curse people.
**[12:55] ---**
My specialty is to counter a countered curse.
**[12:58] ---**
Pretty cool, huh?
**[13:01] ---**
He's a strange kid.
**[13:02] ---**
--You're not one to talk!
--You're not one to talk!
**[13:04] ---**
You're not one to talk!
**[13:06] ---**
H-How do you curse people?
**[13:10] ---**
Their names.
**[13:12] ---**
As long as I know a person's name,
I can easily put any curse on them.
**[13:20] ---**
Oh, yeah. You haven't told me
what your names are yet--
**[13:24] ---**
Come, now! It's rude to overstay our welcome.
**[13:26] ---**
Let's finish our business here,
**[13:28] ---**
and we'll be here and gone
like a sudden downpour.
**[13:33] ---**
--But your names...
--Yes, how right you are!
**[13:35] ---**
We'll ask and leave, just like that!
**[13:37] ---**
Yeah, we really will!
**[13:40] ---**
Sempai! I want to leave now!
**[13:42] ---**
You mustn't. Remember why we came here!
**[13:47] ---**
Yeah! We have to at least find out
what we came here to ask!
**[13:50] ---**
But...
**[13:51] ---**
Not yet!
**[13:52] ---**
Not until we ask what her weakness is,
even if we get c-c-cursed!
**[13:57] ---**
Hanajima-*sempai*, do you have a weakness?
**[13:59] ---**
That's too blunt, dummy!
**[14:02] ---**
Yes, I do.
**[14:05] ---**
What?! What is it?!
**[14:07] ---**
I see.
**[14:10] ---**
You girls must dislike that Yuki Soma
has become close to Tohru-*kun* recently.
**[14:18] ---**
And you want Tohru out of the picture?
**[14:21] ---**
But I'm in your way.
**[14:25] ---**
Are you afraid?
**[14:29] ---**
Trying to figure out my weakness is
a childish way to go about it.
**[14:33] ---**
Th-That's cheating! You're using
your waves to read our minds!
**[14:38] ---**
I'm not reading your minds.
**[14:40] ---**
You're so obvious, there's no need to.
**[14:41] ---**
L-Liar!
**[14:43] ---**
Stop, it's no use.
**[14:46] ---**
If she knows, we can get
straight to the point.
**[14:50] ---**
Yes. We utterly despise that witch--
I mean, Tohru Honda.
**[14:57] ---**
Well? Will you tell her for us?
**[15:01] ---**
Tell her to keep her distance from Yuki.
**[15:05] ---**
They can do what they want.
**[15:08] ---**
Actions brought on by
jealously are simply ugly.
**[15:12] ---**
We're not jealous! We're just mad!
**[15:14] ---**
Yeah, who does she think she is?
**[15:17] ---**
What does she know
about Yuki-*kun*? Pisses me off!
**[15:20] ---**
That's what people call "jealousy."
**[15:23] ---**
And what do you know about Tohru-*kun*?
**[15:27] ---**
You disparage her so much,
I feel sorry for her.
**[15:31] ---**
And over someone as trivial as Yuki Soma.
**[15:33] ---**
T-Trivial?! You dare say he's trivial?!
**[15:37] ---**
Did you hear? Did you hear that, you two?
**[15:39] ---**
Yes, I heard very clearly!
**[15:42] ---**
It's because you disparage Tohru-*kun*.
**[15:44] ---**
*You're* disparaging Yuki--and us!
**[15:48] ---**
Your sleepy looking eyes
prove you're mocking us!
**[15:51] ---**
My eyes are always like this.
**[15:53] ---**
I-- We truly like Yuki. We love him.
**[16:00] ---**
Do you understand how much Tohru Honda's
actions trample over our feelings?
**[16:07] ---**
She acts as if she's the
only one Yuki likes...
**[16:14] ---**
You mustn't assume...
**[16:16] ---**
...that liking him gives you license
to say whatever you want.
**[16:22] ---**
You should think again if you believe
that you can do whatever you want
**[16:26] ---**
just because you like him.
**[16:30] ---**
Don't forget that forcing
your intense love on someone
**[16:36] ---**
can burden them or hurt them.
**[16:43] ---**
Don't forget to respect their feelings
and be considerate of them.
**[16:50] ---**
Or else they might end up hating you.
**[16:55] ---**
Minami-*san*...
**[16:57] ---**
Mio-*san*...
**[17:00] ---**
Motoko-*san*...
**[17:05] ---**
♪ Today, just like any other day, ♪
**[17:09] ---**
♪ Art goes out walking with Mogeta. ♪
**[17:22] ---**
Did I overstep?
**[17:25] ---**
No.
**[17:27] ---**
How did you learn their names, though?
**[17:32] ---**
It was easy.
**[17:34] ---**
--Motoko-*sempai*, I don't want to drink...
**[17:35] ---**
--They said each other's names
when you were making tea.
--Motoko-*sempai*, I don't want to drink...
**[17:38] ---**
--They said each other's names
when you were making tea.
--...tea made by Wave Girl!
**[17:40] ---**
Minami-*san*, Mio-*san*! Stay strong!
**[17:43] ---**
Stay strong and drink it!
**[17:45] ---**
I was actually a little jealous myself.
**[17:52] ---**
And Kisa-*san* and Hiro-*san*
are coming over later.
**[17:56] ---**
I felt like Tohru-*kun* was being taken
by the Somas, and I felt a little lonely.
**[18:04] ---**
But...
**[18:06] ---**
...and be considerate of them.
**[18:11] ---**
You're right.
**[18:14] ---**
I mustn't let that make me selfish.
**[18:19] ---**
I shouldn't be like those three, right?
**[18:22] ---**
A good example of what not to do.
**[18:28] ---**
Hello.
**[18:29] ---**
Hey.
**[18:30] ---**
Hana-*chan*!
**[18:31] ---**
Tohru-*kun*?
**[18:33] ---**
Ran into her at the station.
**[18:34] ---**
Hana-*chan*, u-um, where are
Kinoshita-*san* and the others?
**[18:39] ---**
It's been a while, Tohru-*san*, Arisa-*san*.
**[18:43] ---**
--Hey.
--Oh, yes!
**[18:45] ---**
It has been a while, Megumi-*san*.
**[18:48] ---**
She got permission to go in later for work.
**[18:51] ---**
Sounds like she was worried about you.
**[18:55] ---**
Everybody left already.
**[18:57] ---**
Oh! U-Um, was there any trouble?
**[19:01] ---**
No, it was fine.
**[19:03] ---**
Aw, they left already?
**[19:07] ---**
--When you cherish someone,
there may be times when it gets hard,
**[19:10] ---**
--Megumi, did they pick a fight with you?
--When you cherish someone,
there may be times when it gets hard,
**[19:13] ---**
--No, it was okay.
--or when you get lonely.
**[19:16] ---**
But it brings joy as well.
**[19:23] ---**
My weakness will always be...
**[19:28] ---**
...Tohru-*kun*.
**[19:32] ---**
Tohru-*kun* needs to go to work.
**[19:35] ---**
Want to escort her with us, Megumi?
**[19:38] ---**
Yeah.
**[19:39] ---**
We'll all go together!
**[19:41] ---**
My heart pounds as
I'm surrounded by older women.
**[19:44] ---**
You act nothing like a middle schooler.
**[20:01] ---**
Wh-What's happening? My body won't move!
**[20:08] ---**
Wh-What do you two think you're doing?!
**[20:12] ---**
Hey, are you listening?!
**[20:14] ---**
Answer me! Hey!
**[20:16] ---**
Hey! Hey, are you listening to me?
**[20:20] ---**
--Docus patzul. Docus patzul.
--What? What are you doing?
**[20:23] ---**
--Docus patzul. Docus patzul.
--What are you doing to me?
**[20:24] ---**
--Docus patzul. Docus patzul.
--Stop it! Hey, stop this right now!
**[20:28] ---**
--Yoljo mare. Yoljo mare.
--I said stop, you two!
**[20:31] ---**
--Yoljo mare. Yoljo mare.
--Stop right now!
**[20:33] ---**
--Docus patzul. Docus patzul.
--Stop right now!
**[20:33] ---**
--Docus patzul. Docus patzul.
--Please, stop this!
**[20:34] ---**
--Docus patzul. Docus patzul.
--Stop, please!
**[20:36] ---**
--Docus patzul. Docus patzul.
--Please, I b-beg you!
**[20:37] ---**
--Yoljo mare. Yoljo mare.
--Please, I b-beg you!
**[20:40] ---**
--Yoljo mare. Yoljo mare.
--No!
**[20:41] ---**
--Docus patzul.
--No!
**[20:44] ---**
Motoko! Stop screaming in the morning!
**[20:49] ---**
Get up or you'll be late for school!
**[20:59] ---**
Last night was terrible.
**[21:02] ---**
Yeah...
**[21:03] ---**
I woke up scared stiff
this morning from a nightmare.
**[21:07] ---**
What? You, too, Kinoshita-*san*?
**[21:10] ---**
I-I did, too!
**[21:12] ---**
Were we actually c-c-curs--
**[21:17] ---**
Ah.
**[21:22] ---**
Hello.
**[21:24] ---**
Hello!
**[21:25] ---**
H-Hello.
**[21:27] ---**
We may have blundered and run off yesterday,
**[21:30] ---**
but Prince Yuki will never
yield to your group!
**[21:34] ---**
Huh?
**[21:35] ---**
Do as you like.
**[21:38] ---**
Oh, the curse takes effect after three days.
**[21:43] ---**
H-H-Hanajima-*san*!
**[21:46] ---**
