[02:15] ---
    A-whoosh.
[02:17] ---
    Alkaline Yuriko-san!
[02:19] ---
    What?
[02:20] ---
    I've been attracted to ya forever.
[02:23] ---
    Please go out with me.
[02:26] ---
    I'm sorry. I don't like yokai.
[02:29] ---
    Shock!
[02:31] ---
    Besides, I don't like flimsy men either.
[02:35] ---
    Double shock!
[02:38] ---
    Oh my cotton...

    CHAPTER 88
[02:42] ---
    ROLLO CLOTH'S ROMANCE
[02:48] ---
    Comfort me, Kitaro-san, Daddy Eyeball-san!
[02:51] ---
    She called me flimsy!
[02:55] ---
    Catchick?
[02:57] ---
    Hey, Kitaro, want to go out for a bit?
[02:59] ---
    I found a delicious cake shop.
[03:02] ---
    I don't like sweet foods.
[03:04] ---
    O-Oh come on! I'm always buying you ramen!
    Indulge me once in a while!
[03:09] ---
    That's right, Kitaro.
[03:11] ---
    Hmm. All right.
[03:14] ---
    Huh? Really?
[03:15] ---
    Let's go then.
[03:17] ---
    Havin' cake together...
[03:19] ---
    I'm so jealous!
[03:28] ---
    I wanna find happiness.
[03:32] ---
    Well, if it isn't Rollo Cloth.
[03:36] ---
    LIQUID HAPPINESS
[03:38] ---
    I see. You want happiness.
[03:42] ---
    Say, Rat Man,
    why are ya dressed like that?
[03:46] ---
    Actually, I'm doing this right now.
[03:50] ---
    For young people
    growing distant from love.
[03:53] ---
    Yokai and human boys and girls
    living together.
[03:55] ---
    Is love possible between yokai and humans?
[03:55] ---
    YOKAI AND HUMAN ROMANCE
[03:57] ---
    LIVE TOGETHER WITH HOT YOKAI
[03:59] ---
    It's called...
[04:01] ---
    BiBiBi House!
[04:03] ---
    B-Boys and girls living together?!
[04:06] ---
    How about it? Do you--
[04:08] ---
    -I'll go!
    -That was fast!
[04:10] ---
    -I'll go now! Right now! Take me now!
    -Whoa, h-hold on.
[04:13] ---
    Then the participation fee is...
[04:15] ---
    Let's see...
[04:18] ---
    This much.
[04:19] ---
    Expensive!
[04:22] ---
    But it's an investment in love!
[04:32] ---
    I can't wait to see what kind of
    hot yokai there are.
[04:36] ---
    Huh? Weren't you going on about
    Shun-kun the other day?
[04:40] ---
    I didn't know he had a girlfriend.
    Human boys suck.
[04:45] ---
    You're excited for
    hot yokai too, right, Ma-chan?
[04:48] ---
    Huh? I-I'm just here to accompany.
[04:52] ---
    Oh come on.
    I mean, you're crazy about yokai.
[04:55] ---
    You're a yokai geek, aren't you?
[04:59] ---
    Oh! Isn't that it?!
[05:01] ---
    "Romance with hot yokai!"
    The BiBiBi House!
[05:07] ---
    Oh, hot yokai!
[05:12] ---
    A-whoosh!
[05:14] ---
    Hello!
[05:16] ---
    Huh?
[05:20] ---
    Wait. Where are the hotties?
[05:21] ---
    All I see are a kid, a critter, and a rag.
[05:24] ---
    Look, Rikako, Mikki!
[05:26] ---
    It's the real Tofu-Kozo-kun,
    Kawauso-kun and Rollo Cloth-san!
[05:30] ---
    What's wrong y'all?
    It's time to introduce ourselves!
[05:36] ---
    I'm Tofu-Kozo.
[05:38] ---
    I'm just a yokai that carries tofu.
[05:42] ---
    You just... carry tofu?
[05:44] ---
    That's right.
[05:45] ---
    I-It's really true!
[05:49] ---
    I'm Kawauso. My specialty is
    disguising myself as a human.
[05:53] ---
    Can you become a hot guy?!
[05:54] ---
    Sure.
[05:59] ---
    See?
[06:02] ---
    He's basically the same.
[06:04] ---
    He's really disguised! Amazing!
[06:06] ---
    Well, I just brought those two
    to fill out the numbers.
[06:12] ---
    I'm Rollo Cloth!
[06:14] ---
    Go out with me, and ya can
    fly through the sky on my back!
[06:19] ---
    Amazing!
[06:20] ---
    It sure is!
[06:22] ---
    I'd be afraid of falling.
[06:24] ---
    He seems flimsy and dangerous.
[06:25] ---
    Oh my cotton!
[06:29] ---
    That Rat Man guy totally tricked us!
[06:33] ---
    But we already paid. What should we do?
[06:38] ---
    Wasn't there some yokai who solves
    problems when you send him a letter?
[06:43] ---
    Um...
[06:46] ---
    You mean Kitaro-san?
[06:47] ---
    That's it!
[06:49] ---
    B-But to summon Kitaro-san
    for something like this?
[06:52] ---
    It's fine, it's fine!
[06:59] ---
    Honestly! What is with you?!
[07:01] ---
    Ow, ow, ow, ow!
[07:09] ---
    Oh, did you send the letter?
[07:12] ---
    Huh? Are you Kitaro?!
[07:14] ---
    Yes.
[07:15] ---
    So cute!
[07:16] ---
    Cute!
[07:17] ---
    What?
[07:19] ---
    Join us, Kitaro-san!
[07:21] ---
    If you do, we'll stay!
[07:24] ---
    We'll stay!
[07:25] ---
    Who are these vultures?
[07:28] ---
    Um, I don't do that sort of...
[07:30] ---
    Aw!
[07:32] ---
    Don't be like that!
[07:34] ---
    That's right, Kitaro.
[07:35] ---
    This is a good opportunity.
    You can learn about romance.
[07:39] ---
    Huh? But...
[07:41] ---
    Everything is a learning experience.
[07:45] ---
    Okay.
[07:47] ---
    Hooray!
[07:48] ---
    W-Wait, Kitaro!
[07:50] ---
    Now, now, now.
[07:53] ---
    A powerful rival's here!
[07:56] ---
    Okay, let's make a hot pot together!
[08:00] ---
    Good luck, Kitaro!
[08:02] ---
    Hey, why aren't you leaving?
[08:04] ---
    I-I'm making sure
    you don't do anything fishy!
[08:10] ---
    Amazing, Kitaro-kun!
[08:12] ---
    No, not really.
[08:15] ---
    I gotta impress them, too!
[08:21] ---
    Whoops! Look out!
[08:24] ---
    Kawauso-kun, amazing!
[08:28] ---
    Dammit! My best chance is to make
    the best hot pot ever!
[08:42] ---
    Show a little spine!
[08:44] ---
    But, I don't like fire!
[08:47] ---
    Everybody, Rollo Cloth's
    Rollo Rice Cake Shabu-Shabu's ready!
[08:51] ---
    Oh wow!
[08:55] ---
    It's all Rollo Cloths.
[08:57] ---
    I went all out for this!
[08:59] ---
    Here you go!
[09:02] ---
    Tofu-Kozo's special boiled tofu.
[09:05] ---
    Young girls won't eat somethin' bland
    like boiled tofu.

[09:08] ---
    Delicious!
[09:11] ---
    And healthier than rice cakes.
[09:13] ---
    Why, cotton?!
[09:16] ---
    What the heck is he doing?
[09:18] ---
    He's completely whiffing.
[09:37] ---
    Why'd ya come to BiBiBi House, Ma-chan?
[09:42] ---
    My friends invited me.
[09:44] ---
    Ya ain't here for a boyfriend?
[09:47] ---
    Oh no. I could never.
[09:51] ---
    I'm not cute like those two.
[09:54] ---
    Besides...
[09:57] ---
    Never mind.
[09:59] ---
    If ya need to talk, I'm listenin'.
[10:02] ---
    Even if I liked someone,
    I could never tell them.
[10:07] ---
    But, it's fine that way.
[10:09] ---
    If I don't do anything,
    I don't have to get hurt.
[10:15] ---
    Dislike!
[10:16] ---
    Huh?
[10:16] ---
    Ya can't be afraid of gettin' hurt!
[10:20] ---
    B-But...
[10:21] ---
    Love that ya fought for and won
    brings the greatest happiness!
[10:26] ---
    You fought for...
[10:28] ---
    Oh! Sorry for actin' like a know-it-all.
[10:32] ---
    It's okay.
    I appreciate your sincere answer.
[10:36] ---
    Thank you!
[10:38] ---
    Huh?
[10:40] ---
    She's... kinda cute.
[10:49] ---
    Here, Ma-chan!
[10:52] ---
    Whoa, we touched hands!
[10:55] ---
    Thank you, Rollo-chan!
[11:03] ---
    Rollo-chan, are we too heavy?
[11:04] ---
    Nah! This is nothin'!
[11:07] ---
    A-swoop, swoop!
[11:12] ---
    For tonight's dinner, we're cookin' fish!
[11:14] ---
    Good luck!
[11:16] ---
    Cotton copies!
[11:19] ---
    It's big! It's big!
[11:21] ---
    Are you okay, Rollo-chan?!
[11:24] ---
    I'm fine! Cotton Splash!
[11:26] ---
    Hey! Rollo-chan, stop that!
[11:30] ---
    It looks like those two
    are hitting it off.
[11:32] ---
    Not bad, Rollo Cloth.
[11:35] ---
    What?!
[11:38] ---
    Y-You're telling her?!
[11:39] ---
    I'm seriously attracted to Ma-chan.
[11:43] ---
    What do you like about her?
[11:46] ---
    How she's spunky and kind!
[11:49] ---
    Well, good luck to you!
    I'm rooting for you!
[11:53] ---
    Thanks! I'm gonna go find happiness!
[12:02] ---
    Rikako, how are things with Kitaro?
[12:04] ---
    He's totally inconsiderate.
[12:07] ---
    Earlier...
[12:09] ---
    Hey, Kita-chan.
[12:11] ---
    "Kita-chan"?
[12:12] ---
    I hear there's
    a really pretty waterfall that way.
[12:17] ---
    Oh really.
[12:18] ---
    Why don't you go check it out?
[12:24] ---
    Idiot! She wanted to be invited!
    He doesn't understand women at all!
[12:30] ---
    Kitaro...
[12:36] ---
    Wow, he's inconsiderate.
[12:37] ---
    Right?
[12:38] ---
    I can't believe this!
[12:43] ---
    I-I can't believe this!
[12:44] ---
    Oh crap! Let's go, Rikako.
[12:46] ---
    R-Right.
[12:56] ---
    ROLLO CLOTH
[12:59] ---
    KORO-BI
[13:01] ---
    -"Zzz, zzz."
    -"Huh, that much?"
[13:02] ---
    "Zzz, zzz."
[13:08] ---
    What's wrong, Rollo-chan?
    Why'd you bring me here?
[13:12] ---
    M-M-M-Ma-chan... I-I...
[13:16] ---
    He's pretty stiff for cotton.
[13:20] ---
    I-I... M-M-M-M-Ma-chan, I...
[13:24] ---
    L... L...
[13:28] ---
    L.. L-L...
[13:31] ---
    L... L...
[13:34] ---
    L...
[13:35] ---
    Li...
[13:39] ---
    Rikako?!
[13:41] ---
    This is...!
[13:42] ---
    Let's go, Kitaro!
[13:44] ---
    Right, Dad!
[13:48] ---
    Dammit! Talk about killin' the mood!
[13:52] ---
    Huh? Rollo-chan?
[13:58] ---
    Toro!
[14:01] ---
    KORO-BI
[14:05] ---
    Stop it!
[14:07] ---
    Kitaro!
[14:08] ---
    Toro!
[14:12] ---
    Spirit Hair Chanchanko!
[14:17] ---
    To... ro!
[14:19] ---
    Toro!
[14:23] ---
    Hey, what was that?!
[14:25] ---
    A yokai that inhabits
    stone toro garden lanterns, the Koro-Bi.
[14:29] ---
    Stone garden lanterns?
[14:36] ---
    I see.
[14:37] ---
    That's why he got mad and attacked.
[14:42] ---
    We should go after him.
[14:44] ---
    Huh? Where's Ma-chan?
[14:49] ---
    What was that screaming about?
[14:53] ---
    I wonder if Rikako's okay.
[15:07] ---
    Toro!
[15:13] ---
    Toro!
[15:19] ---
    Toro!
[15:20] ---
    No!
[15:22] ---
    A-whoosh!
[15:25] ---
    R-Rollo-chan!
[15:27] ---
    Leave this to me!
[15:30] ---
    Toro!
[15:35] ---
    Ya better hide!
[15:37] ---
    Okay!
[15:38] ---
    Toro!
[15:42] ---
    Toro!
[15:45] ---
    Direct hit!
[15:47] ---
    I really don't like fire!
[15:52] ---
    Rollo-chan, run!
[15:54] ---
    Ya can't come out!
[15:56] ---
    Rollo Cloth, leave the rest to me!
[15:59] ---
    Kitaro-san, wait a sec!
[16:04] ---
    I'm gonna protect Ma-chan!
[16:07] ---
    But that's a fire yokai!
    You're at an absolute disadvantage!
[16:12] ---
    Hah! When there's obstacles to love,
    it just gets me burnin'!
[16:18] ---
    Toro!
[16:21] ---
    I'm burnin'!
[16:25] ---
    No! At this rate Rollo-chan will...!
[16:28] ---
    Rollo Cloth!
[16:34] ---
    This is my fight!
[16:37] ---
    But you're...
[16:39] ---
    Why go that far?
    Just leave it to Kitaro-san!
[16:42] ---
    I have to show ya, Ma-chan!
[16:45] ---
    Ya can't just do nothin'!
    It's important to stand up and fight!
[16:51] ---
    If I don't do anything,
    I don't have to get hurt.
[16:57] ---
    Rollo-chan... For me...?
[17:00] ---
    The beauty of love
    that ya fight for and win...
[17:03] ---
    I wanna show you, Ma-chan!
[17:06] ---
    Toro!
[17:08] ---
    Oh no!
[17:19] ---
    Rollo-chan...
[17:25] ---
    Rollo-chan!
[17:27] ---
    Right here!
[17:29] ---
    Rollo-chan!
[17:31] ---
    Toro?!
[17:33] ---
    Rollo Cloth regenerates
    when soaked in water!
[17:37] ---
    The flame of my love is
    stronger than your fire!
[17:41] ---
    Cotton Splash!
[17:44] ---
    Toro!
[17:51] ---
    Rollo-chan, are you okay?!
[17:53] ---
    Hey!
[17:55] ---
    A-Are you okay?!
[18:00] ---
    Love conquers.
[18:02] ---
    Thank goodness!
[18:05] ---
    Ma-chan.
[18:09] ---
    I need to tell ya somethin'.
[18:11] ---
    Rollo-chan...
[18:12] ---
    You can do it, Rollo Cloth!
[18:16] ---
    I really like ya, Ma-chan.
[18:19] ---
    I wanna continue to protect ya.
[18:22] ---
    So, will ya go out with me?
[18:27] ---
    Rollo-chan...
[18:33] ---
    Love that you
    fight for and win is beautiful.
[18:36] ---
    Seeing you fight made me
    realize that, Rollo-chan.
[18:40] ---
    I'm through standing back
    and just watching people I like.
[18:44] ---
    M-Ma-chan...
[18:47] ---
    I want to properly express my feelings!
[18:57] ---
    I...
[18:59] ---
    Y-Yeah?
[19:05] ---
    I like you...
[19:07] ---
    Kawauso-kun!
[19:12] ---
    Huh?
[19:13] ---
    What?!
[19:15] ---
    Huh? M-Me?
[19:19] ---
    I've been a fan of yours
    since before I came to BiBiBi House!
[19:27] ---
    C-C-C-Come to think of it...
[19:32] ---
    Ma-chan was always hangin' around Kawauso.
[19:37] ---
    I'm sorry.
[19:40] ---
    And thank you, Rollo-chan.
    For giving me the courage!
[19:45] ---
    Wh-What do you like about Kawauso?
[19:48] ---
    I'm into hairy guys!
[19:51] ---
    H-H-Hairy?
[19:53] ---
    I'm... silky smooth!
[19:56] ---
    I'm cotton after all.
[19:59] ---
    That's why, Kawauso-kun,
    will you go out with me?!
[20:03] ---
    Huh?!
[20:04] ---
    I-I appreciate that, but...
[20:07] ---
    I can't deal with that!
[20:09] ---
    Wait! No one can extinguish
    the flame of my love!
[20:15] ---
    H-How do I say it...
    Y-You were impressive, Rollo Cloth.
[20:19] ---
    That's right! You were a shining beacon!
[20:29] ---
    He's unconscious.
[20:32] ---
    Maybe we should
    revive him with water again...
[20:34] ---
    Nah, this time
    some expensive booze should do.
[20:38] ---
    Um...
[20:40] ---
    Excuse me.
[20:43] ---
    What should I do?
[20:47] ---
    Oh.
[20:53] ---
    You're all set now.
[20:55] ---
    Hooray! Thank you!
[21:00] ---
    Everything's settled then.
[21:03] ---
    Not yet...
[21:14] ---
    He's been like that ever since
    Ma-chan followed Kawauso and left.
[21:19] ---
    He really did like her.
[21:22] ---
    I'm through with love.
[21:26] ---
    Hey, I brought the new members!
[21:40] ---
    I'm the warrior of love, Rollo Cloth!
    Nice to meet ya!
[21:45] ---
    What about Ma-chan?!
[21:46] ---
    He never learns.
[21:49] ---
    But at least he's feeling better.
[21:53] ---
    This time I'm findin' happiness for sure!
[22:06] ---
    Bound by restrictive lines
    This overly sensitive, ominous town

[22:06] ---
    harimegurasareta kiseisen
    binkan ni narisugita bukimi na machi wa

[22:12] ---
    A lawless place born of illusion
    People turn back and look away

[22:12] ---
    gensou ga unda muhouchitai
    me wo sorashiteru hito bakari

[22:17] ---
    Get on your feet and try it out
    Know the truth without romanticizing it

[22:17] ---
    sono ki ni natte tameshiteminatte
    bika shitenaide genjitsu wo shitte

[22:22] ---
    Sometimes you just can't be so serious
    Sometimes you just have to pray

[22:22] ---
    kuso majime ni yatterannai hi mo aruyo
    toki ni kamidanomi

[22:27] ---
    Amidakuji of fate
[22:27] ---
    unmei no amidakuji
[22:30] ---
    It's either all or nothing
[22:30] ---
    noruka soruka no hanashi
[22:33] ---
    Amidakuji of fate
[22:33] ---
    unmei no amidakuji
[22:35] ---
    yubi de nazotte
[22:35] ---
    Trace it with your finger
[22:37] ---
    saa motto fukaku made
[22:37] ---
    There, ever deeper
[22:43] ---
    sono me de mite furete
[22:43] ---
    See it yourself and touch it
[22:48] ---
    wagamonogao ga habikoru
    kono sekai ni iyake ga sasuyo

[22:48] ---
    I'm sick of this world
    Where everyone acts so selfish

[22:54] ---
    shinjitsu wa mushoku toumei de
[22:54] ---
    The truth is colorless and transparent
[22:57] ---
    sukoshi dake tsumetai
[22:57] ---
    And just a little cold
[23:01] ---
    Every night a woman chokes herself
    with her own hands.

[23:05] ---
    Dad, this is...
[23:07] ---
    Next time on GeGeGe no Kitaro
[23:10] ---
    "The Curse of Te-no-Me"
[23:12] ---
    The door to the unseen world opens...
[23:14] ---
    
[23:16] ---
