    There's no time to think up a new bit.
[00:19] ---
    I've always dreamed of this day.
[00:23] ---
    With that bit I could even win...

    The world you see isn't all there is.

    CHAPTER 40
[02:28] ---
    THE FINAL BALLAD
    SARA-KOZO
[02:32] ---
    Hi! It's Poor Isamu's poor joke!
[02:37] ---
    They've stopped
    my gas and power and water.
[02:40] ---
    Only my heart is left!
[02:42] ---
    Yes! I'm poor, I'm poor!
[02:49] ---
    Now for my poor joke part two!
[02:52] ---
    They've built a huge house next door
    so I tell my daughter that's ours too!
[02:58] ---
    Yes! I'm poor, I'm poor!
[03:04] ---
    Oh Sawa-chan! What a funny face!
[03:09] ---
    So ugly, it's cute!
[03:11] ---
    It's no good. I'm bombing.
[03:14] ---
    Me too.
[03:16] ---
    Feels like it's been a lifetime's
    worth of bombing.
[03:19] ---
    You're lucky.
    You were actually a hit once.
[03:23] ---
    "Poor Isamu's Poor Comedy Skit."
[03:26] ---
    That was long ago.
[03:28] ---
    Nobody remembers me now...
[03:32] ---
    Hey, you!
[03:34] ---
    I've seen that face before!
    You were on TV once!
[03:39] ---
    Oh! Are you Poor Isamu-san?
[03:43] ---
    Uh... Yes.
[03:45] ---
    Talk about nostalgic!
[03:57] ---
    ALL JAPAN COMEDY GRAND PRIX
    SECOND PLACE
[03:57] ---
    Poor Isamu-san,
    congratulations on second place!
[04:01] ---
    Thank you very much!
[04:05] ---
    It's been 12 years...
[04:09] ---
    That was the peak of my career.
[04:15] ---
    ...Pettakko

    A yokai?!
[04:45] ---
    But...
[04:46] ---
    that's a pretty catchy phrase.
[04:53] ---
    Get that down...

[05:10] ---
    Yay!
[05:11] ---
    I went to all the food sample counters!
    That's my free lunch today!

    POOR ISAMU'S BIG COMEBACK!
[05:24] ---
    What is this?
[05:26] ---
    Mana said it's funny so I checked it out,
[05:30] ---
    but it's totally boring.
[05:32] ---
    Dad, this song...
[05:34] ---
    I've heard it before.
[05:36] ---
    Well, this is the Sara-Kozo's song.
[05:40] ---
    The Sara-Kozo?
[05:41] ---
    It's the song the Sara-Kozo
    has always loved to sing.
[05:46] ---
    This man must have heard it somewhere.
[05:50] ---
    This is bad!
[05:53] ---
    If this man is
    singing without permission...
[05:57] ---
    We have to do something, Kitaro.
[05:59] ---
    Go tell him to
    stop singing this song right away!
[06:05] ---
    Pettala petalako pettakko
[06:07] ---
    -Pettala petalako pettakko
    -Stop singing my song.
[06:14] ---
    You stole my song!
[06:17] ---
    Pettala petalako pettakko
[06:23] ---
    It seems that recently...
[06:25] ---
    the humans are singing my song a lot.
[06:29] ---
    This is...
[06:34] ---
    my song!
[06:36] ---
    SARA-KOZO
[06:39] ---
    I-I didn't know!
[06:41] ---
    I was just imitating Poor Isamu's song!
[06:47] ---
    Pettala petalako pettakko
[06:50] ---
    Pettala petalako pettakko
[06:53] ---
    Pettakko
[06:55] ---
    You've been on fire recently, Isamu-chan!
[06:58] ---
    Yes! Thank you very much, Producer Date!
[07:02] ---
    This might even be better than
    your Poor Comedy Skit.
[07:05] ---
    Yes! Thank you very much, Producer Date!
[07:09] ---
    Isamu-chan, keep on climbing to the top.
[07:13] ---
    Yes! Thank you very much, Producer Date!
[07:19] ---
    I don't want to end as a one-hit wonder!
[07:23] ---
    Poor Isamu-san.
[07:26] ---
    You've stolen a yokai's song.
[07:30] ---
    That song is the yokai Sara-Kozo's.
[07:34] ---
    You've stolen it.
[07:36] ---
    What...?
[07:38] ---
    What are you talking about?
[07:40] ---
    If you keep singing that song...
[07:46] ---
    something terrible is bound to happen.
[07:50] ---
    I-If you keep making wild accusations...
[07:55] ---
    I'll call the cops!
[07:57] ---
    Don't say I didn't warn you.
[08:05] ---
    Something terrible is bound to happen.
[08:09] ---
    That's impossible.
[08:11] ---
    You're Poor Isamu!
[08:27] ---
    You stole my song, didn't you?!
[08:31] ---
    Th-That's not it!
[08:32] ---
    What's not it?! Tell me!
[08:35] ---
    I-I happened to hear this beautiful song
    near the river one day.
[08:39] ---
    I-I was so taken by the beautiful voice
    I couldn't help singing it.
[08:39] ---
    SECOND PLACE
    MR. POOR ISAMU
[08:43] ---
    I'm so sorry for
    singing without permission!
[08:46] ---
    I swear I'll never sing it again!
    Please forgive me!
[08:49] ---
    You mean that?!
[08:50] ---
    I mean it!
[08:52] ---
    All right! You're off the hook this time.
[08:56] ---
    Th-Thank you very much.
[08:59] ---
    But that's my song!
    Next time you sing it, you're a dead man!
[09:04] ---
    O-Okay!
[09:11] ---
    It's gone...
[09:15] ---
    Honey, what's wrong?
[09:17] ---
    Papa?
[09:19] ---
    Uh... I-It's nothing.
[09:22] ---
    What do I do?
[09:24] ---
    I...
[09:26] ---
    I've stolen...
[09:29] ---
    a yokai's song.
[09:32] ---
    A yokai?!
[09:35] ---
    What?! What do you mean, Isamu-chan?
[09:39] ---
    You don't want to do the Pettalako bit?
[09:42] ---
    What'll you do now if not that?!
[09:45] ---
    Actually I've brought a new bit...
[09:48] ---
    I don't want that.
[09:50] ---
    If you won't do that bit,
    I can't put you on TV, Isamu-chan.
[09:54] ---
    What?!
[09:58] ---
    What can I do?
[10:00] ---
    You seem to be troubled, sir.
[10:03] ---
    YOKAI CONSULTANT
    BIBIBI NO RAT MAN
[10:03] ---
    Allow me to introduce myself.
[10:05] ---
    I hear you stole the Sara-Kozo's song.
[10:10] ---
    How did you know?!
[10:12] ---
    The Sara-Kozo and I go way back.
[10:15] ---
    I thought I could convince him
    to let you use that song.
[10:20] ---
    Y-Y-You can really do that?!
[10:22] ---
    Of course!
[10:24] ---
    Well then...
[10:25] ---
    The job will cost you this much.
[10:32] ---
    I-I'll pay it!
[10:35] ---
    All I do is sweet talk the Sara-Kozo
    and it's a job well done.
[10:44] ---
    Who are you?
[10:45] ---
    Well, well, Sara-Kozo-san.
[10:47] ---
    Actually, I have
    a bit of a proposal for you.
[10:52] ---
    Pettala petalako pettakko
[10:54] ---
    He's still singing this song.
[10:57] ---
    I warned him.
[10:59] ---
    If he gets in trouble it's his own fault.
[11:03] ---
    It's not that simple, Kitaro.
[11:06] ---
    The Sara-Kozo can be quite difficult.
[11:11] ---
    -No!
    -Huh?!
[11:13] ---
    I'm not making any deals.
    That song is mine alone.
[11:18] ---
    Jeez, what a stubborn grouch!
[11:21] ---
    What's so great about that lame song?
[11:23] ---
    Hey!
[11:25] ---
    Did you just say, "that lame song"?
[11:32] ---
    The Sara-Kozo may seem docile at first.
[11:35] ---
    But it's actually quite hostile
    and hard to control once angered.
[11:41] ---
    That Isamu bastard!
    He thinks he can lie to me?!
[11:47] ---
    I swear... I won't forgive him!
[11:53] ---
    SARA-KOZO
[11:56] ---
    GANGI-KOZO
[11:58] ---
    -"I was sleeping."
    -"Sorry."
[11:59] ---
    "Smack!"
[12:01] ---
    NEW MESSAGE
[12:03] ---
    "Congratulations, Poor Isamu-sama."
[12:08] ---
    "You're in the finals
    of the All Japan Comedy Grand Prix..."
[12:11] ---
    Hooray!
[12:12] ---
    It's been 12 years
    since I was on that stage!
[12:16] ---
    This time I'll win for sure!
[12:20] ---
    Um... Mister Isamu?
[12:24] ---
    Wh-What happened to you?
[12:27] ---
    About that job we discussed...
[12:30] ---
    We managed to reach an agreement.
[12:32] ---
    Really?
[12:33] ---
    Thank goodness!
[12:35] ---
    Right. I agreed that
    I wouldn't forgive you.
[12:43] ---
    Help me!
[12:47] ---
    That comedian...
[12:48] ---
    He's suddenly disappeared.
[12:51] ---
    "I'm worried sick."
[12:51] ---
    His wife left a letter in
    the Yokai Mailbox.
[12:55] ---
    My husband told me...
[12:58] ---
    he'd stolen a yokai's song.
[13:03] ---
    I'm guessing Isamu-san was...
[13:06] ---
    kidnapped by the Sara-Kozo.
[13:12] ---
    How could this happen?!
[13:13] ---
    Shut up. Just wash!
[13:16] ---
    This is because you lied to me!
[13:19] ---
    It's the Grand Prix finals today!
[13:22] ---
    Like I care.
[13:23] ---
    You're the one who stole a yokai's song
    in the first place.
[13:26] ---
    It was to feed my family.
[13:30] ---
    I had no choice.
[13:32] ---
    Get real.
[13:33] ---
    If you really cared for your family, you
    would've quit being a comedian long ago.
[13:39] ---
    All you really care about is yourself.
[13:42] ---
    It doesn't matter
    if your wife and kid are poor.
[13:45] ---
    You wanted to bathe in the spotlight
    no matter what.
[13:50] ---
    That's the real you.
[13:55] ---
    Save my husband...
[13:58] ---
    Please.
[14:00] ---
    Very well.
[14:02] ---
    But...
[14:03] ---
    He already ignored our warning.
[14:08] ---
    If it's too late...
[14:14] ---
    there's nothing we can do.
[14:17] ---
    We're done.
[14:20] ---
    Sara-Kozo sensei, we've finished
    our 10,000-plate quota.
[14:25] ---
    I see. You're a real help.
[14:28] ---
    Now then...
[14:31] ---
    H-Hey! Hold it!
[14:32] ---
    What's going on?!
[14:34] ---
    I told you to wash 10,000 plates,
[14:37] ---
    but I never said I'd forgive you
    if you did.
[14:40] ---
    B-But...!
[14:42] ---
    Dammit! You lied to us!
[14:43] ---
    Shut up! You think I'd forgive you
    for making a fool of me?!
[14:54] ---
    It's mud!
[14:55] ---
    It's a bottomless marsh!
[14:58] ---
    You can regret angering me
    on your way to hell!
[15:02] ---
    But...!
[15:06] ---
    Don't you think that's enough?
[15:10] ---
    Who are you?
[15:11] ---
    Oh! Kitaro!
[15:14] ---
    Stay out of my way!
[15:21] ---
    I'll show no mercy to
    anyone who resists me!
[15:32] ---
    R-Remote Controlled Geta!
[15:39] ---
    Spirit Hair Chanchanko!
[15:44] ---
    Nice going, Kitaro!
[15:48] ---
    H-H-H-Help us!
[15:53] ---
    Man, you really saved us, Kitaro-san.
[15:56] ---
    Isamu-san.
[15:57] ---
    Yes?
[15:59] ---
    Don't get the wrong idea.
[16:02] ---
    I only rescued you because
    your wife asked me to.
[16:07] ---
    This doesn't change your guilt
    for stealing the Sara-Kozo's song.
[16:17] ---
    Swear you'll never sing
    the Pettalako song again right now.
[16:32] ---
    Um...
[16:34] ---
    Could I use that bit
    just for today's Grand Prix?
[16:40] ---
    There's no time to think up a new bit.
[16:45] ---
    I've always...
[16:47] ---
    dreamed of this day.
[16:51] ---
    -With that bit I could even win...
    -No.
[17:02] ---
    I... I understand.
[17:05] ---
    Are you happy, Sara-Kozo?
[17:07] ---
    Fine! Fine already!
    Just get this thing off of me!
[17:17] ---
    Papa!
[17:19] ---
    Thank goodness you're safe!
[17:21] ---
    A new bit...
[17:23] ---
    I've got to think up... a new bit.
[17:29] ---
    It's not good!
[17:31] ---
    I can't think of anything!
[17:33] ---
    They're about to start!
    Can't you reuse an old bit?
[17:37] ---
    I can't use bits that bombed everywhere!
[17:41] ---
    Now we begin
    The All Japan Comedy Grand Prix!
[17:46] ---
    Who will rise to the top
    out of 5,000 contestants?!
[17:49] ---
    Let's begin right away!
[17:52] ---
    First off is the rookie team from Ebisu...
[17:54] ---
    Sawa and Yashiro!
[18:03] ---
    What the hell?!
[18:08] ---
    Short skit, "Poverty god."
[18:13] ---
    I'm the Poverty god!
    I'll take five percent of your wealth!
[18:17] ---
    Oh, thank goodness!
[18:19] ---
    That's less than the sales tax!
[18:21] ---
    That's no good!
[18:24] ---
    I'll just have to do the Pettalako bit!
[18:27] ---
    Anything but that, honey!
[18:29] ---
    I'll never win at this rate...
[18:34] ---
    Papa, I like the Poverty god!
[18:44] ---
    Miku...
[18:47] ---
    We don't need you to win.
[18:51] ---
    We want you safe by our side.
[18:56] ---
    That's all we want.
[18:58] ---
    Megumi...
[19:01] ---
    I regret nothing.
[19:03] ---
    That's right.
    I've got Megumi and Miku with me.

[19:11] ---
    Right now...
[19:12] ---
    I'm gonna shoot the held hands of
    any couple that crosses my path!
[19:19] ---
    Satoshi...
[19:21] ---
    He's really coming together.
[19:24] ---
    -Today might be his big break.
    -Take that, happy couple!
[19:26] ---
    Do your best to win, Isamu-chan...
[19:30] ---
    with your usual bit.
[19:36] ---
    Next up is a man who's had
    his second wind this year!
[19:39] ---
    The comedian
    taking the country by storm...
[19:42] ---
    It's Poor Isamu-san!
[19:48] ---
    Hello!
[20:02] ---
    And now, a short skit, "Poverty god."
[20:06] ---
    I'm the Poverty god!
    I'll take five percent of your wealth!
[20:10] ---
    Oh, thank goodness!
[20:11] ---
    That's less than the sales tax!
[20:47] ---
    Okay!

    Hooray!
[21:11] ---
    "You're in the finals."
[21:12] ---
    It's been 12 years
    since I was on that stage!
[21:17] ---
    This time I'll win for sure!
[21:35] ---
    Miku...
[21:36] ---
    Mama?
[21:37] ---
    -Bravo!
    -You're number one!
