    TOFU-KOZO'S MOLD PANDEMIC
[02:45] ---
    Hey, Tofu-Kozo, stop staring and help.
[02:48] ---
    I'm a yokai that only carries tofu.
[02:53] ---
    That you are...
[02:58] ---
    It keeps coming down day after day.
[03:00] ---
    We're full into the rainy season.
[03:00] ---
    SOKAI LIVELY APARTMENT
[03:04] ---
    But with all this humidity,
    we'll get mold in the apartment.
[03:08] ---
    Oh! There!
[03:13] ---
    We've got to do something.
[03:15] ---
    Don't worry.
[03:18] ---
    It may be time to bring him out...
[03:29] ---
    I'm Alkaline Yuriko!
[03:32] ---
    I'm Manganese Ayana!
[03:34] ---
    I'm Nickel Kana!
[03:35] ---
    Together we are The Batteries!
[03:37] ---
    We'll recharge your heart!
[03:40] ---
    It's a pleasure to be here!
[03:44] ---
    HANDSHAKE EVENT
[03:45] ---
    Th-Thank you...
[03:48] ---
    You came today, too?! I'm so glad!
[03:53] ---
    Thank you!
[03:56] ---
    So cute.
[03:57] ---
    Yuriko's not bad either.
[04:00] ---
    I'm a Yuriko follower.
[04:03] ---
    Kana's standoffish attitude
    isn't bad either.
[04:13] ---
    Standoffish attitude...
[04:20] ---
    Hey, Kana, could I copy that homework
    that's due soon?
[04:28] ---
    Ignoring us?
[04:32] ---
    She's got such a standoffish attitude.
    Or rather, a gloomy one.
[04:36] ---
    For real.
[04:37] ---
    THE COLLECTED WORKS OF RAINER MARIA RILKE
[05:10] ---
    You surprised me!
[05:11] ---
    You just popped out,
    I thought you were a yokai or something.
[05:22] ---
    Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow...
[05:24] ---
    Huh?!
[05:26] ---
    Oh...
[05:30] ---
    Are you really a yokai?
[05:34] ---
    But a tofu yokai seems more like...
[05:38] ---
    Tofu!
[05:42] ---
    I'm not a tofu yokai.
    I'm a yokai that only carries tofu.
[05:47] ---
    That's all?
[05:48] ---
    Yup.
[05:49] ---
    Really?
[05:51] ---
    Really.
[05:52] ---
    Huh.
[05:54] ---
    Why... do you do that?
[05:57] ---
    Because I'm just
    a yokai that carries tofu.
[06:03] ---
    Oh.
[06:04] ---
    Are you a human who walks at night?
[06:07] ---
    What is that?
[06:09] ---
    I'm an idol.
[06:11] ---
    I sing and dance before everyone.
[06:14] ---
    Huh.
[06:15] ---
    Why do you do that?
[06:18] ---
    Why...?
[06:20] ---
    I was always on the bottom of
    the school pyramid.
[06:24] ---
    School pyramid?
[06:33] ---
    I wanted to prove myself
    to the people above.
[06:35] ---
    So I worked hard doing things
    to become an idol.
[06:42] ---
    "Things"?
[06:43] ---
    My eyesight's actually 20/10...
[06:46] ---
    NICKEL KANA CHARACTER CONCEPT : NONE
[06:46] ---
    but I wear glasses to stand out more.
[06:50] ---
    I actually love liquor...
[06:55] ---
    but my profile says I love strawberries...
[06:59] ---
    And...
[07:02] ---
    I'm actually a germophobe
    and I hate touching people,
[07:07] ---
    but I do handshake events.
[07:10] ---
    But...
[07:11] ---
    IDOL FESTIVAL
    THE BATTERIES : IDOL RANK B
[07:12] ---
    The Batteries are around the middle of
    the idol pyramid.
[07:16] ---
    AUTOGRAPHED PHOTO REQUEST RESULTS
    1. AYANA 2. YURIKO 3. KANA
[07:16] ---
    And I'm always at the bottom
    of our group pyramid.
[07:28] ---
    I have to make it to the top!
[07:31] ---
    Otherwise, why did I bother
    becoming an idol?!
[07:36] ---
    And you're asleep!
[07:39] ---
    I'm a yokai that carries...
[07:40] ---
    You said that already!
[07:43] ---
    I need to try a lot harder.
[07:46] ---
    It's not like I can just
    carry around tofu like you.
[07:54] ---
    I'm not sure, but...
[07:56] ---
    that girl seemed... kind of sad.
[08:04] ---
    Thank you!
[08:15] ---
    Y-You! How did...
[08:18] ---
    Here. Have this.
[08:20] ---
    Huh?
[08:21] ---
    You seemed a little down.
[08:23] ---
    You're talking silly again.
[08:25] ---
    Eat some tofu and feel better.
[08:32] ---
    Hey, yokai or not,
    unsolicited gifts are against the rules!
[08:36] ---
    And unwrapped tofu, no less!
[08:39] ---
    Now get away from her.
[08:51] ---
    Kitaro!
[08:52] ---
    Are you okay, Tofu-Kozo?
[08:55] ---
    We always tell you to be careful
    when dealing with humans.
[08:59] ---
    I-I'm sorry.
[09:01] ---
    You two shouldn't be so mean.
[09:05] ---
    S-So cute...
[09:08] ---
    Gross...
[09:11] ---
    You're pretty weak for a yokai.
[09:14] ---
    I'm just a yokai that carries tofu.
[09:23] ---
    I get it. You're at the bottom of
    the yokai pyramid too.
[09:27] ---
    What's "pyramid"?
[09:29] ---
    It's a status or rank.
[09:31] ---
    Young lady.
[09:33] ---
    I know human society likes to
    divide everything into hierarchies,
[09:37] ---
    but yokai don't have any status or ranks.
[09:41] ---
    But, don't you want to change?
[09:44] ---
    I'm fine.
[09:46] ---
    So long as I carry tofu.
[09:49] ---
    I...
[09:52] ---
    Seriously?
[09:53] ---
    Totally!
[09:54] ---
    PLEASE WAIT
[10:00] ---
    That person I admired long ago...
[10:03] ---
    I want to be like her.
[10:08] ---
    Don't you have anyone like that?
[10:10] ---
    Kitaro!
[10:12] ---
    He's strong and cool!
[10:14] ---
    Then don't you ever wish
    you could be like...
[10:17] ---
    I don't.
[10:19] ---
    Huh?
[10:20] ---
    I'm sure Kitaro has his purpose
    and I have mine.
[10:26] ---
    Do you think... I have such a purpose?
[10:30] ---
    I'm sure you do.
[10:32] ---
    You think so?
[10:34] ---
    Eat this and feel better.
[10:42] ---
    D-Delicious!
[10:44] ---
    I'll help you find your purpose.
[10:48] ---
    It's thanks for saying
    my tofu is delicious.
[10:53] ---
    But what will you do?
[10:55] ---
    Be her manager?
[10:57] ---
    That's a good idea!
[11:00] ---
    I'd like it if you would.
[11:02] ---
    What?!
[11:02] ---
    Are you sure?
[11:04] ---
    I'll do my best!
[11:06] ---
    Well, he seems motivated.
[11:09] ---
    I guess so...
[11:12] ---
    Encore!
[11:14] ---
    Manager, water!
[11:16] ---
    Here you go.
[11:18] ---
    This is soy milk!
[11:22] ---
    Manager, a handkerchief!
[11:24] ---
    This is cotton tofu!
[11:27] ---
    Who hears "handkerchief"
    and thinks "cotton tofu"?!
[11:31] ---
    Manager, my makeup tools.
[11:33] ---
    Here you go!
[11:35] ---
    Good, you brought the right stuff.
[11:37] ---
    My sponge...
[11:39] ---
    This is freeze-dried tofu!
[11:42] ---
    And it's soaked in broth!
[11:45] ---
    It's The Batteries! Please check them out!
[11:49] ---
    LINE END
[11:49] ---
    The line for Nickel Kana is this way!
[11:53] ---
    Th-Thank you.
[11:56] ---
    Is everyone ready to cheer?!

[12:16] ---
    Is Tofu-Kozo doing well?
[12:19] ---
    No need to worry.
[12:20] ---
    I sure hope so.
[12:23] ---
    Kitaro.
[12:25] ---
    The ceiling is so clean.
[12:27] ---
    It's thanks to him.

[12:41] ---
    Bye, Tofu-chan.
[12:42] ---
    See you tomorrow.
[12:47] ---
    So you're involved with The Batteries?
[12:51] ---
    Hey, could I get in on a cut of that tofu?
[12:57] ---
    TOFU-KOZO
[13:00] ---
    KASA-CHAN
[13:02] ---
    -"Ge."
    -"What?"
[13:08] ---
    At our next concert,
    we're selling merchandise that we produce.
[13:13] ---
    And they're going to be ranked.
[13:16] ---
    I-I don't want to be last again.
[13:19] ---
    But...
[13:21] ---
    T-Tofu-chan.
[13:23] ---
    I heard about the merchandise
    from your management.
[13:27] ---
    Wh-What do I do?
[13:31] ---
    Who are you?
[13:32] ---
    I'm like Tofu-Kozo's big brother.
[13:36] ---
    Actually, I just had a sure-fire idea
    to get the top sales using tofu.
[13:43] ---
    Using tofu?
[13:44] ---
    Leave it to us!

    Would you like a hug pillow of me?
[13:55] ---
    Step right up!
[13:57] ---
    Nickel Kana's handmade tofu
    with molasses and soybean flour!
[14:01] ---
    Plus, as a special bonus,
    she'll even feed it to you herself!
[14:05] ---
    I hate this stuff,
    but if it's to get out from the bottom...

[14:09] ---
    Directly from Kana-chi?! I should line up!
[14:13] ---
    Hey! Weren't you a Yuriko follower?!
[14:16] ---
    Hooray!
[14:18] ---
    Look at that!
[14:21] ---
    We came to check up on him, but...
[14:24] ---
    Rat Man again!
[14:26] ---
    But the fans and Tofu-Kozo seem happy.
[14:31] ---
    I guess we can go home.
[14:33] ---
    I'm worried.
[14:36] ---
    Even without any initial cost,
    it's this profitable.
[14:39] ---
    Hey, keep it coming!
[14:42] ---
    This is the last batch.
[14:44] ---
    What?!
[14:45] ---
    I didn't bring any more tofu.
[14:50] ---
    You've got more here.
[14:51] ---
    This is no good!
[14:53] ---
    This is tofu that's got
    yokai mold growing on it.
[14:56] ---
    Yokai mold?
[14:58] ---
    It'll be bad if anyone eats it.
[15:01] ---
    Tofu-chan, where's the next batch?
[15:04] ---
    C-Coming right up!
[15:09] ---
    Yup. It's fine.
[15:11] ---
    Back to cooking!
[15:15] ---
    Huh? I'm... the top?

[15:23] ---
    Oh, sure.
[15:25] ---
    Congratulations, Kana-chi!
[15:29] ---
    Aren't you happy?
[15:30] ---
    S-Sure I am.
[15:33] ---
    But.. is this right?
[15:37] ---
    Emergency!
[15:39] ---
    The concert stadium is...!
[15:45] ---
    Wh-What is this?!
[15:47] ---
    Rat Man, did you use the tofu
    with yokai mold on it?!
[15:52] ---
    W-Well... No, I mean...
[16:10] ---
    This is my fault...
[16:14] ---
    Don't touch that mold!
[16:19] ---
    Are you okay, Tofu-Kozo?
[16:21] ---
    Kitaro!
[16:23] ---
    Don't blame yourself.
    Leave the rest to me.
[16:26] ---
    I see.
[16:28] ---
    We'll have to remove the mold spores.
[16:32] ---
    I understand.
[16:34] ---
    Spirit Hair Chanchanko!
[16:44] ---
    It's working!
[16:50] ---
    Oh no!
[17:08] ---
    Run...
[17:10] ---
    Hurry!
[17:12] ---
    Hold on! We'll go get help!
[17:16] ---
    Kana-chi, let's go!
[17:18] ---
    R-Right!
[17:40] ---
    What do we do?
[17:43] ---
    Kana-chi...
[17:49] ---
    I-I'm sorry! This is my fault!
[17:53] ---
    Don't make that kind of face.
[17:56] ---
    You're always bringing me happiness.
[18:03] ---
    Happiness...?
[18:05] ---
    Because I'm just
    a yokai that carries tofu.
[18:09] ---
    Eat this and feel better.
[18:14] ---
    Tofu-chan, I remember now.
[18:19] ---
    Why I'm an idol.
[18:22] ---
    I wanted to bring everyone happiness.
[18:25] ---
    Happiness?
[18:28] ---
    It wasn't about escaping
    from the bottom of some pyramid...
[18:34] ---
    I wanted to carry the happiness
    I was given, and make everyone smile.
[18:44] ---
    K-Kana-chi! If you do that,
    you'll be covered in mold!
[18:49] ---
    I'd rather die than have that happen.
[18:51] ---
    But, not helping everyone is worse!
[18:54] ---
    Kana-chi...
[19:07] ---
    Kana-chi, are you okay?
[19:10] ---
    To make... everyone smile.
[19:13] ---
    That's why I...
[19:15] ---
    NEW IDOL UNIT AUDITION
[19:21] ---
    ...became an idol!
[19:43] ---
    Kitaro-san.
[19:44] ---
    You're awake.
[19:47] ---
    Tofu-chan, how...?
[19:49] ---
    It's thanks to Tenjo-Name-san.
[19:52] ---
    Sand Witch told him there was lots of
    his favorite food and brought him.
[19:57] ---
    TENJO-NAME
[19:58] ---
    Well? How do you like Tenjo-Name's
    diluted gastric juices?
[20:02] ---
    G-Gastric juices?!
[20:05] ---
    Okay! Let's clean this all off!
[20:12] ---
    Yeah!
[20:27] ---
    What happened to me?
[20:28] ---
    Kana-chi and the yokai saved us.
[20:31] ---
    Tenjo-Name!
[20:33] ---
    Give us more gastric juices!
[20:35] ---
    Sure thing.
[20:42] ---
    What?!
[20:44] ---
    We are in awe of the yokai's power!
[20:59] ---
    I've never eaten so much mold before!
[21:03] ---
    This was your fault again!
[21:05] ---
    C-Cut me some slack!
[21:08] ---
    Thank goodness everyone's okay.
[21:11] ---
    Tofu-chan, I've made up my mind.
[21:14] ---
    What about?
[21:16] ---
    There are people who like me as I am.
[21:21] ---
    It made me realize that there's happiness
    that only I can bring.
[21:27] ---
    I'm going to become
    the one-and-only idol who can do that!
[21:34] ---
    Okay! Good luck!
[21:44] ---
    Are you carrying again today, Tofu-Kozo?
[21:47] ---
    It's my purpose to carry tofu!
