[01:33] Sachi
    Oh, sorry.
[01:35] Yamazaki
    No, I wasn't paying attention either.
[01:36] Sachi
    Your bag...
[01:38] Sachi
    I'm so sorry.
[01:39] Sachi
    Were there any eggs inside?
[01:41] Yamazaki
    It's okay.
[01:42] Yamazaki
    There wasn't anything important inside.
[01:44] Yamazaki
    Really, don't worry about it.
[01:46] Yamazaki
    Bye.
[01:46] Sachi
    Ah, please wait!
[01:49] Sachi
    You forgot this.
[01:50] Yamazaki
    Oh, thank you.
[01:53] Sachi
    So...
[01:55] Sachi
    Do you like anpan?
SIGN    Meals Should Be Balanced
[02:06] Yamazaki
    I don't.
[02:08] Yamazaki
    Anpan and milk.
[02:10] Yamazaki
    This is how I run a stakeout.
[02:12] Yamazaki
    I don't eat anything else until it's over.
[02:16] Yamazaki
    Basically, it's an offering to the gods.
[02:19] Yamazaki
    I personally can't stand it, but the god of stakeouts is a big fan, so that's that.
[02:22] Yamazaki
    A truth that has been shown in police dramas around the world.
[02:26] Yamazaki
    For the success of this stakeout,
[02:28] Yamazaki
    I must suppress my desire to eat curry, katsudon, and yakiniku,
[02:32] Yamazaki
    and munch on anpan instead.
[02:34] Hijikata
    You're not supposed to come into contact with the target.
[02:38] Hijikata
    And you're supposed to be an inspector?
[02:40] Yamazaki
    Do you realize how weird it is to stake out a stakeout?
[02:44] Yamazaki
    You should have volunteered if you have nothing better to do.
[02:47] Hijikata
    Don't get so upset.
[02:49] Hijikata
    I see that you're only eating anpan again.
[02:51] Hijikata
    You can be superstitious if you want,
[02:54] Hijikata
    but you won't last long if you aren't eating right.
[02:56] Ramen
    Sorry about the wait.
[02:58] Hijikata
    Oh, thanks.
[03:00] Yamazaki
    Don't even bother, Vice Chief.
[03:02] Yamazaki
    I don't need ramen!
[03:04] Yamazaki
    Well, if you insist, I suppose I don't have a choice.
[03:08] Yamazaki
    An order from you is absolute.
[03:11] Hijikata
    Huh? What'd you say?
[03:13] Yamazaki
    Nothing.
[03:15] Hijikata
    So how would you describe this Sachi Narasaki?
[03:19] Yamazaki
    She seems to be a nice person,
[03:21] Yamazaki
    going by the five days I've been watching her.
[03:24] Yamazaki
    I find it hard to believe that she's the older sister of a brutal Joi terrorist.
[03:28] Hijikata
    Oh?
[03:29] Hijikata
    If you look at Sogo,
[03:30] Hijikata
    one sibling tends to be more responsible when the other is anything but.
[03:34] Yamazaki
    Vice Chief, you're a little too close...
[03:37] Yamazaki
    And what about Donbei?
[03:39] Hijikata
    He's been running around like crazy.
[03:43] Hijikata
    Apparently, he stole money from his fellow terrorists.
[03:45] Hijikata
    They're trying to chase him down.
[03:48] Hijikata
    His only option is to run to his sister.
[03:50] Yamazaki
    I can't say that I like the idea of using his sister as bait.
[03:55] Hijikata
    Do you like the idea of letting her brother run wild?
[04:00] Hijikata
    Besides, what if the Joi who are chasing Donbei decide to use her as bait...
[04:09] Hijikata
    We'll use his sister as bait to wipe them all out.
[04:13] Hijikata
    Leave the dirty work to us.
[04:15] Hijikata
    Yamazaki, I'm giving you a different mission.
[04:18] Hijikata
    Protect the girl.
[04:21] Yamazaki
    Sagaru Yamazaki's Observation Report:
SIGN    Week 1 of Living on Anpan
[04:23] Yamazaki
    I've been living on anpan for an entire week now.
[04:26] Yamazaki
    What I'd give for a bowl of miso soup.
[04:29] Yamazaki
    The girl hasn't made a move yet.
[04:32] Yamazaki
    Sachi Narasaki.
[04:33] Yamazaki
    Owner of the bar Nonbei.
[04:35] Yamazaki
    The story is that she's a dutiful daughter
[04:38] Yamazaki
    who's been running her father's business by herself since he died four years ago.
[04:41] Yamazaki
    On the other hand, her brother Donbei is notorious for being a nasty villain.
[04:47] Yamazaki
    He regularly came to his sister for money after she took over the bar.
[04:52] Yamazaki
    A dutiful daughter under duress,
[04:54] Yamazaki
    the younger brother who continues to put her in danger,
[04:57] Yamazaki
    and the terrorists who are after them.
[05:00] Yamazaki
    My mission is to monitor the Joi terrorists,
[05:04] Yamazaki
    while protecting the girl.
[05:05] Yamazaki
    I, Sagaru Yamazaki, Shinsengumi inspector, vow to protect her!
[05:09] Yamazaki
    And with my newfound determination, I once again munch on anpan.
[05:14] Yamazaki
    Day 8 of living on anpan.
[05:17] Yamazaki
    When I went to the supermarket yesterday,
[05:19] Yamazaki
    I could hear people whispering, "Anpanman is here! No kidding!" in the back,
SIGN    Nonbei
[05:22] Yamazaki
    but the girl hasn't made a move yet.
[05:24] Yamazaki
    Her customers are all regulars.
[05:27] Yamazaki
    Every day is the same.
[05:29] Yamazaki
    I can only hope that her peaceful life lasts forever.
[05:33] Yamazaki
    As I begin to forget my purpose here,
[05:36] Yamazaki
    I once again munch on anpan.
[05:39] Yamazaki
    Day 12 of living on anpan.
[05:42] Yamazaki
    I've just realized that it's been days since I've talked to anyone.
[05:44] Yamazaki
    The last words I spoke were, "No, put it in one bag," three days ago,
[05:49] Yamazaki
    but the girl hasn't made a move yet.
[05:52] Yamazaki
    For a moment, I almost thought that she was looking at me,
SIGN    Nonbei
[05:55] Yamazaki
    but it must have been my imagination.
[05:56] Yamazaki
    As I try to pull myself together,
[05:58] Yamazaki
    I once again munch on anpan.
[06:00] Yamazaki
    But I could only finish half of it.
[06:02] Yamazaki
    Day 15 of living on anpan.
[06:05] Yamazaki
    When I went to the convenience store,
[06:06] Yamazaki
    people started whispering, "The in-one-bag guy is here!"
[06:08] Yamazaki
    "He's gonna buy anpan and milk!"
[06:10] Yamazaki
    "In one bag!" and stuff,
SIGN    Nonbei
[06:12] Yamazaki
    but the girl hasn't made a move yet.
[06:15] Yamazaki
    What do I do if nothing happens?
[06:18] Yamazaki
    As I attempt to ignore those doubts,
[06:20] Yamazaki
    I once again munch on anpan.
[06:22] Yamazaki
    And then I throw it all up.
[06:25] Yamazaki
    Day 20 of living on anpan.
[06:27] Yamazaki
    It's been so long since I last spoke that I was wondering if my voice still worked,
[06:31] Yamazaki
    so I screamed at the top of my lungs and the guy next door replied,
[06:33] Guy
    "Shut up!"
[06:34] Yamazaki
    while banging on the wall, which had me jumping up and down with joy
[06:36] Yamazaki
    over the fact that I actually held a conversation,
[06:38] Yamazaki
    but the girl still hasn't made a move yet.
[06:40] Yamazaki
    She just smiles day after day.
[06:44] Yamazaki
    There are more exciting ways to live.
[06:48] Yamazaki
    Such as harboring a fugitive younger brother.
[06:52] Yamazaki
    And with that thought, I once again...
[06:56] Yamazaki
    ...smash anpan against the wall.
[06:58] Yamazaki
    Day 22 of living on anpan.
[07:00] Yamazaki
    Give me a break already.
[07:02] Yamazaki
    When is her younger brother going to show up?
[07:04] Yamazaki
    When will I be released from this anpan curse?
[07:06] Guy
    Shut up!
[07:07] Yamazaki
    Hurry, younger brother!
[07:10] Yamazaki
    Save me from the endless anpan!
[07:13] Yamazaki
    As I make that wish from the bottom of my heart,
[07:16] Yamazaki
    I sparking the anpan into the sky!
[07:19] Yamazaki
    Day 23 of living on anpan.
[07:21] Yamazaki
    I sparking the anpan into the supermarket clerk!
[07:23] Yamazaki
    Day 24 of living on anpan.
[07:25] Yamazaki
    I sparking the anpan into the convenience store clerk!
[07:27] Yamazaki
    Day 25 of living on anpan.
[07:28] Yamazaki
    I sparking the anpan into the vice chief!
[07:31] Yamazaki
    Day 28 of living on anpan.
[07:34] Yamazaki
    I wake up and discover that I have no memory of the past few days.
[07:37] Yamazaki
    However, despite all the change I've gone through,
[07:39] Yamazaki
    the girl hasn't made a move yet.
[07:41] Yamazaki
    Like always, she scatters anpan on the road,
SIGN    Anpan
[07:44] Yamazaki
    and puts the anpan above the entrance.
[07:45] Yamazaki
    And then at anpan-night,
[07:47] Yamazaki
    she anpans the anpan and anpans.
[07:49] Yamazaki
    Anpanning the anpan to anpan the anpan and anpanny anpan, anpan, anpan...
SIGN    Day 30 of Living on Anpan
SIGN    ANPAN
[08:05] Yamazaki
    Day 31 of living on anpan.
[08:08] Yamazaki
    When I woke up, I was standing in an unfamiliar place, covered in anko.
[08:13] Yamazaki
    Who gives a damn about the mission or the girl?!
[08:16] Yamazaki
    I refuse to take another bite of anpan!
[08:21] Yamazaki
    I couldn't take it anymore.
[08:23] Yamazaki
    I no longer cared.
[08:24] Yamazaki
    I headed back to the room to pack up and leave.
[08:29] Yamazaki
    But there I found...
[08:32] Sachi
    I didn't realize we were neighbors.
[08:35] Sachi
    You'll ruin your health if you only eat anpan.
[08:37] Sachi
    Here are some leftover meat and potatoes if you don't mind.
[08:40] Sachi
    Thank you for watching over me.
[08:43] Sachi
    From Nonbei.
[08:46] Yamazaki
    The tears wouldn't stop...
[08:49] Yamazaki
    I don't know when she realized I was watching her.
[08:52] Yamazaki
    I don't know how much she actually knew.
[08:55] Yamazaki
    One thing was clear...
[08:57] Yamazaki
    I wasn't worthy of her gratitude.
[09:00] Yamazaki
    Since I was ready to abandon her because of my stupid superstition...
[09:08] Yamazaki
    That day, I turned against the god of stakeouts.
SIGN    Greater Edo Hospital
[09:14] Yamazaki
    Day 3 of meat and potatoes.
[09:16] Yamazaki
    I woke up...
[09:18] Yamazaki
    ...to find myself staring at an unfamiliar ceiling.
[09:21] Yamazaki
    And the vice chief with a disgusted look on his face.
[09:24] Yamazaki
    Vice Chief, where am I?
[09:26] Hijikata
    The hospital.
[09:27] Yamazaki
    Huh?
[09:28] Yamazaki
    What happened to me?
[09:29] Yamazaki
    What about Sachi-san? Her brother?
[09:31] Yamazaki
    What happened to them?
[09:32] Hijikata
    They got away.
[09:34] Yamazaki
    What?
[09:35] Hijikata
    They took the money and ran.
[09:37] Hijikata
    Yamazaki...
[09:39] Hijikata
    We were tricked by the girl.
[09:42] Yamazaki
    The siblings were working together to steal money from the Joi.
[09:46] Yamazaki
    The sister noticed my presence immediately,
[09:49] Yamazaki
    so she spent an entire month acting to fool me.
[09:52] Yamazaki
    And once I fell apart,
[09:55] Yamazaki
    she used the pretense of kindness to poison me.
[09:58] Hijikata
    Women are damn scary.
[10:01] Hijikata
    Hiding under layer after layer of makeup.
[10:04] Hijikata
    Do we ever get a chance to see their real faces?
[10:07] Hijikata
    Well, she still served as the perfect bait.
[10:10] Hijikata
    We rounded up all the ruffians who were trailing her.
[10:14] Hijikata
    That more than makes up for the two who got away.
[10:18] Hijikata
    We were able to freely move around because you were there.
[10:22] Ramen
    Sorry about the wait.
[10:27] Hijikata
    Yamazaki, you did a good job.
[10:31] Yamazaki
    Vice Chief, this isn't like you.
[10:35] Yamazaki
    Are you trying to make me feel better?
[10:38] Yamazaki
    It's not like I'm depressed or anything.
[10:40] Yamazaki
    I'm used to being fooled by women and failing missions.
[10:45] Yamazaki
    But I was hoping that...
[10:48] Yamazaki
    ...I could at least lose on my own terms.
[10:51] Hijikata
    I guess that you aren't in the mood for ramen.
[10:56] Yamazaki
    Can I ask for a favor?
[10:59] Donbei
    It really worked, Sis.
[11:02] Donbei
    We have enough money to fool around for a while.
[11:06] Donbei
    What are you going to spend it on?
[11:07] Sachi
    You're such an idiot.
[11:08] Sachi
    Money isn't meant for fooling around.
[11:10] Sachi
    Money is used to earn more money.
[11:13] Donbei
    Come on...
[11:14] Donbei
    What's wrong, Sis?
[11:15] Sachi
    Well, I had a feeling that someone was watching us...
[11:19] Donbei
    Please...
[11:19] Donbei
    Are your senses shot after spending all that time with that Shinsengumi failure?
[11:25] Yamazaki
    Oh, sorry.
[11:27] Donbei
    Watch where you're going, fool!
[11:29] Donbei
    Are you okay, Sis?
[11:30] Yamazaki
    I'm so sorry.
[11:31] Yamazaki
    I'm in a hurry to get to the festival.
SIGN    Anpan
[11:33] Donbei
    Festival?
[11:33] Donbei
    Where is this festival, eh?
[11:37] Yamazaki
    Right here. The Yamazaki Spring Bread Festival.
[11:48] Yamazaki
    Day 63 of the Yamazaki Bread Festival.
[11:51] Sachi
    Y-You really like anpan, huh...
[11:57] Yamazaki
    I don't.
[11:59] Yamazaki
    And so, I once again munch on anpan.
[12:04] Otae
    Sure.
[12:06] Otae
    I happen to be a fan of baseball.
[12:09] Otae
    I'd be happy to accompany you.
[12:11] Kondo
    I knew it...
[12:13] Kondo
    You don't want to come with me.
[12:14] Otae
    Um, I said that I'd be happy to accompany you.
[12:17] Kondo
    Of course...
[12:18] Kondo
    Happy to accompany me...
[12:21] Kondo
    Happy?
[12:22] Kondo
    Huh? What'd you just say?
[12:23] Otae
    I said that I'd be happy to watch the baseball game with you.
[12:26] Kondo
    Ho... Ho...
[12:28] Kondo
    Home run!
[12:31] Otae
    Um, you destroyed the tickets.

    A true man isn't measured by high education, high income, or height.

    The three Hs mean nothing.
[12:45] Kondo
    The only H you need is the H for the hair on your ass.
[12:48] Kondo
    One ass hair and constant persistence is all it takes to penetrate that giant wall.
[12:54] Kondo
    Well, you girly men probably wouldn't understand.
[12:58] Okita
    He's not really girly, he just eats shit.
[13:01] Hijikata
    Shut your trap, you sick bastard.
[13:02] Okita
    This must be a trap.

    As a fellow sadist, I can guess what's in her mind.

    My relentless rain of love has finally spread open her tightly shut legs!
[13:22] Hijikata
    Your metaphors are too obscene.
[13:25] Kondo
    Did she say anything else?
[13:28] Kondo
    No.
[13:28] Kondo
    She'll be waiting in front of the station at one on Sunday.
[13:32] Kondo
    And she told me to stop following her around after this.
[13:35] Kondo
    And to never visit her business again.
[13:37] Kondo
    Well, we'll be in a relationship now.
[13:39] Kondo
    So that won't be needed anymore.
[13:41] Okita
    Isn't she telling you to completely forget about her after indulging you one last time?
[13:46] Kondo
    Shut up! 'Kay, Hayashiya?
[13:48] Okita
    His name is Pei Hayashiya.
[13:50] Kondo
    If this is the last time, I won't get another chance!
[13:53] Kondo
    I will make her mine!
[13:55] Kondo
    I'll hit a walk-off home run and lead Otae-san back to the bench!
[14:03] Hijikata
    We're right in the path of the typhoon.
[14:05] Hijikata
    She's not gonna show.
[14:07] Okita
    Guess you're out of luck.
[14:09] Kondo
    It's a little early,
[14:11] Kondo
    but a gentleman is supposed to arrive early and wait for the lady.

    Kondo-san...
[14:17] Kondo
    Don't worry.

    The weather will improve.

    Oh.

    Don't worry about it.
[14:37] Hijikata
    It's gonna drop right here.
[14:40] Kondo
    It really is raining spears!

    How bad is my luck?!

    Uh, you're bleeding.

    I haven't even made it fifty meters,

    and I've already experienced fifty years worth of bad luck.

    Damn it, I'm going on this date!
[15:08] Kondo
    First, I need the tickets...
[15:10] Yo
    Check it out.
[15:11] Yo
    Aren't these tickets for the game today?
[15:13] A
    Awesome!

    We don't have enough to play baseball because of the typhoon.
[15:16] A
    Let's go watch the game!

    Excuse me, kids.
[15:19] Kondo
    Could you let me see those tickets?

    What do you want, old timer?
[15:22] Yo
    Huh?
[15:23] Yo
    Whoa, you're covered in blood!
[15:25] Kondo
    Actually, I just dropped my tickets.
[15:28] Kondo
    They're probably the ones you're holding.
[15:30] Kondo
    Could you return them?
[15:32] Yo
    What?
[15:33] A
    You got any proof?
[15:34] Kondo
    Okay.
[15:35] Kondo
    Then I'll give you something better in return.
[15:38] Kondo
    Is there anything you want?
[15:40] Yo
    Hm, we have nothing to do because of the typhoon.
[15:43] Yo
    Play baseball with us in the gym!
[15:45] Kondo
    S-Sure thing.

    Some invisible, evil force is actively interfering with my love!
[16:36] Kagura
    Oh, you found something nice there.
[16:39] Kagura
    You should go with your brother.
[16:41] Kagura
    Doesn't he like baseball?
[16:42] Sachiko
    I don't know if he'll come.
[16:45] Sachiko
    He hasn't left his room ever since...
[16:47] Kondo
    Wait!
[16:48] Kondo
    Where did you find those tickets, China girl?!
[16:49] Kagura
    I didn't find them.
[16:50] Kagura
    Sachiko-chan did.
[16:51] Kondo
    Sachiko-chan!
[16:52] Kondo
    Those belong to me!
[16:53] Kondo
    I'll be in a lot of trouble without them!
[16:56] Sachiko
    Really?
[16:58] Sachiko
    I thought they were a gift from God.
[17:02] Sachiko
    It's too bad.
[17:03] Sachiko
    Make sure you don't drop them again.
[17:06] Kondo
    Th-Thank you...
[17:07] Kagura
    Are you sure?
[17:08] Kagura
    This could be a chance to get your brother to go outside!
[17:11] Sachiko
    Ah, it's okay.
[17:13] Sachiko
    Anything baseball would be like salt on an old wound.
[17:17] Sachiko
    My brother used to love baseball so much.
[17:21] Sachiko
    He would always play catch with our father by the river.
[17:24] Sachiko
    I loved to watch them.
[17:27] Sachiko
    But one day, my brother threw the ball too high,
[17:32] Sachiko
    and our father went after it.
[17:35] Sachiko
    He hasn't...
[17:37] Sachiko
    ...come home since.
[17:41] Sachiko
    How far did our father go chasing after it?
[17:47] Sachiko
    My brother's been waiting for him to come back with the ball.
[17:52] Kagura
    Sachiko-chan!
[17:55] Kagura
    Are you sure?
[17:57] Kagura
    Are you really sure about this?
[18:00] Brother
    What would you know?!
[18:03] Sachiko
    Brother!
[18:05] Kondo
    Y-Yes...
[18:06] Kondo
    That's right...
[18:08] Kondo
    Stop throwing balls into the past.
[18:11] Kondo
    Baseballs are meant to be thrown forward!
[18:14] Kondo
    I could feel your ball touch my heart!
[18:18] Kondo
    I'm sure your old man felt the same way!
[18:21] Sachiko
    Thank you for helping my brother come outside!
[18:24] Kagura
    Nice job, gorilla!
[18:25] Brother
    I'm going to use my full strength!
[18:27] Kondo
    Huh?
[18:27] Brother
    I want you to feel my true strength!
[18:30] Kondo
    Wait, wait, wait...
[18:31] Brother
    Here I go!
[18:32] Kondo
    Wait a second!
[18:36] Both
    Thank you very much!
[18:38] Kondo
    Why is everyone interfering with my love?
[18:41] Kondo
    It's like the heavens are trying to keep me away from Otae-san!
[18:46] Kondo
    But I refuse to give up!
[18:48] Kondo
    I can still hit a walk-off home run!
[18:50] Brother
    You found our father?!
[18:51] Brother
    Wasn't he dead?
[18:53] Brother
    He's lost his memory?!
[18:54] Brother
    Is there anything you can do?!
[18:56] Brother
    Something to help him remember?
[18:58] Brother
    There isn't anything to...
[19:02] Father
    What is this burning passion in my chest?!
[19:05] Brother
    Father!
[19:06] Brother
    Your memory's back!
[19:08] Father
    Yeah.
[19:09] Father
    I remembered everything by playing catch.
[19:12] Sachiko
    Father!
[19:14] Father
    I don't know who you are, but thank you very much.
[19:17] Father
    Is there any way to thank you?
[19:18] Kondo
    No, it's okay.
[19:20] Kondo
    Anyway, you've finally been reunited.
[19:23] Kondo
    The three of you should go enjoy the game.
[19:27] Sachiko
    Those are...
[19:29] Kondo
    It's okay.
[19:30] Kondo
    Have fun in my place.
[19:32] Brother
    Thank you very much!
[19:34] Brother
    We'll return the favor one day!
[19:36] Kagura
    Are you sure?
[19:37] Kondo
    Yeah, I'm already late.
[19:41] Kondo
    I guess that Otae-san and I aren't meant to be together in this lifetime.
[19:45] Kondo
    Fate has chosen to stand in our way, and there's nothing I can do about it.
[19:51] Kondo
    As I watched the skies clear the moment I relinquished the tickets,
[19:55] Kondo
    that was the conclusion I reached.
[19:58] Kondo
    I wonder if Otae-san is waiting for me.
[20:00] Kondo
    Of course not.
[20:05] Hijikata
    Kondo-san.
[20:06] Kondo
    Toshi?
[20:07] Hijikata
    Sorry it's not your girl.
[20:09] Kondo
    Heh, the girl doesn't matter anymore.
[20:11] Kondo
    I'm devoting myself to the sword.
[20:14] Hijikata
    I see.
[20:15] Hijikata
    Sorry to bother you while you're down,
[20:17] Hijikata
    but we have a problem on our hands.
[20:19] Hijikata
    A meteorite is approaching Edo.
[20:21] Kondo
    Huh?
[20:21] Hijikata
    It's nothing serious.
[20:23] Hijikata
    The meteorite's the size of a baseball.
[20:25] Hijikata
    It's so small that they couldn't detect it until now,
[20:28] Hijikata
    but at this rate, it's going to hit your date spot in 15 minutes.
[20:31] Kondo
    What?!
[20:32] Hijikata
    We'll have to issue an evacuation order.
[20:35] Hijikata
    Well, there probably won't be much damage,
[20:38] Hijikata
    but you better stay away from the dome.
[20:41] Hijikata
    Huh?
[20:42] Hijikata
    Kondo-san?
[20:43] Hijikata
    Kondo-san?!
[20:44] Kondo
    I just know it!
[20:46] Kondo
    The meteorite is headed right for Otae-san!
[20:49] Kondo
    Because I was trying to defy fate and make Otae-san mine,
[20:54] Kondo
    fate is going after Otae-san now!
[21:00] A
    Hey!
[21:01] A
    Here it comes!
[21:02] B
    It's coming this way!
[21:04] Otae
    Huh?
[21:05] Otae
    Is it coming...
[21:07] Otae
    ...for me?
[21:09] Kondo
    No.
[21:11] Kondo
    Kondo will pinch hit for you.
[21:14] Otae
    Kondo-san...
[21:16] Sachiko
    Mister!
[21:17] Sachiko
    We've got you covered!
[21:19] Father
    I'll catch it if you miss!
[21:24] Kondo
    It's over, fate.
[21:26] Kondo
    I'm not interested in going to heaven.
[21:29] Kondo
    I live for love...
[21:32] Kondo
    To protect my loved ones...
[21:35] Kondo
    I live as a samurai!
[21:40] Kondo
    Here's a walk-off home run!
[21:55] Otae
    I'm walking off.
