***SIGN*** From Thorny
**[01:49] Toshi**
Sasaki Tetsunosuke?
**[01:52] Kondo**
Yeah, he's a member of
the famous Sasaki family
**[01:54] Kondo**
that produces all those
elite members of society.
**[01:57] Kondo**
But for some reason,
**[01:59] ---**
he's the only failure who screws around
**[02:01] ---**
and doesn't have a job.
**[02:02] Kondo**
He was becoming a problem,
so we took him in.
**[02:07] Okita**
So basically,
**[02:08] ---**
he's a spoiled brat who was
forsaken by his parents
**[02:10] Okita**
because they didn't want to look bad.
**[02:12] Toshi**
Kondo-san, this isn't a juvie.
**[02:15] Toshi**
You should turn him over to those
other cops, the Mimawarigumi.
**[02:18] Tetsu**
Yeah, it's me.
**[02:20] Toshi**
They're a bunch of elite
cops from famous families.
**[02:20] Tetsu**
I'm in a dojo or something right now.
**[02:23] Tetsu**
This is lame.
**[02:23] Toshi**
Isn't their leader a Sasaki?
**[02:25] Tetsu**
Can I go home?
**[02:27] Okita**
They probably kept shuffling him
**[02:29] ---**
around until he ended up here.
**[02:31] Okita**
Fine, let him in my first squad.
**[02:34] Okita**
I'll send him straight into a
battle and straight to his grave.
**[02:38] Kondo**
No, the higher-ups won't be happy
if something happens to him.
**[02:41] Toshi**
Then we can give him
some menial tasks to do.
**[02:43] Kondo**
No, he'll start whining.
**[02:45] Kondo**
Right, Toshi!
**[02:47] Kondo**
You mentioned that you
had a bunch of busy work
**[02:48] Kondo**
that you wanted to
delegate to an assistant.
***SIGN*** Check It Out!!
**[02:58] Tetsu**
Yo, I'm Tetsu.
**[03:01] Tetsu**
Uh, your name is Toshikata?
**[03:04] Tetsu**
No idea what an assistant does,
**[03:07] Tetsu**
but I guess I just have to lay
the smackdown on that Joi gang?
**[03:10] Tetsu**
Nobody beats me in a fight, fo' shizzle.
**[03:15] Tetsu**
It's not my policy to listen
to anyone weaker than me.
**[03:20] Tetsu**
I don't follow anyone else's rules.
**[03:22] Tetsu**
We're all born equal and free.
**[03:25] Tetsu**
Then you got your friends
and your enemies.
**[03:28] Tetsu**
So if you try to boss me around,
I'll go beast on your ass.
**[03:32] Tetsu**
Watch yourself, 'kay?
**[03:33] Tetsu**
I might lose control.
**[03:35] Tetsu**
Be fair, be square.
**[03:37] Tetsu**
We cool, Toshi?
**[03:39] Tetsu**
Yeah!
**[03:44] Toshi**
Hey, you little prick.
**[03:45] Toshi**
Don't chew when you're
introducing yourself.
**[03:47] Toshi**
I got enough of your type in
the 17th volume of Oishinbo!
**[03:52] Toshi**
And why is one pant leg rolled up?
**[03:55] Toshi**
I think one leg is
shorter than the other?
**[03:59] Toshi**
There, now they're the
same length! Oh, boy.
**[04:02] Toshi**
Listen up.
**[04:03] Toshi**
You're on our turf, so
you follow our rules.
**[04:06] Toshi**
For dumb boys like you,
one slip and it's seppuku time!
**[04:11] Toshi**
Doesn't matter who your dad is!
**[04:13] Toshi**
I'll send your head flying
all the way to your dad!
**[04:17] Toshi**
Yeah! We cool, Tetsu.
**[04:20] Tetsu**
We BFFs now, yeah!
**[04:23] Toshi**
Yeah.
**[04:24] Tetsu**
Well, let me know when
there's a fight going down.
**[04:27] Tetsu**
I'll bring all my buddies.
**[04:29] Toshi**
Appreciate it.
**[04:38] Kondo**
If we kick him out, he
won't have anywhere to go.
**[04:41] Kondo**
Just go easy on him.
**[04:43] Kondo**
It'll take time to work him in.
**[04:46] Toshi**
It'll take time? How much time?
**[04:49] Toshi**
How am I supposed to stop myself
from killing him before then?
**[04:58] Yama**
Vice chief, I heard
you got an assistant?
**[05:01] Toshi**
Y-Yeah...
**[05:02] Yama**
That's great.
**[05:04] Yama**
You've mentioned how
busy you always are.
**[05:06] Yama**
So where is he?
**[05:08] Toshi**
I have him running errands.
**[05:11] A**
Sweet curry?
**[05:13] A**
Spicy curry?
**[05:14] Tetsu**
Yeah!
**[05:16] Yama**
Uh, that corner of the
room is oozing New York.
**[05:17] Tetsu**
I'll do sweet curry. You do spicy curry.
**[05:20] Tetsu**
Good stuff.
**[05:21] Yama**
Excuse me.
**[05:21] Yama**
Could you give me my curry?
**[05:24] Yama**
Uh, what? What are you doing?
**[05:27] A**
Hey, hey, hey!!
**[05:28] Yama**
What?!
**[05:29] Yama**
I don't have any money on me!
**[05:30] Yama**
All I have is a plate of rice!
**[05:32] A**
Hey!
**[05:37] Yama**
Why are they acting like this
is some kind of drug deal?!
**[05:40] Tetsu**
Cherry boy!
**[05:42] Yama**
Don't call me a cherry boy!
**[05:43] Yama**
How can you even tell?!
***SIGN*** Mayonnaise five days a week! -Hijikata
**[05:48] Yama**
Hey! What did you slip in my pocket?!
**[05:50] Yama**
No, thanks!
**[05:51] Yama**
I don't need your goods!
**[05:52] Yama**
Hey! Stop it!
**[05:54] Yama**
Wait! It's curry?!
**[05:55] Yama**
Effin'!
**[05:58] Kondo**
No, no, no, no!
**[06:00] Kondo**
You're not supposed to
swing with your wrist!
**[06:03] Kondo**
Use your entire body to swing!
**[06:05] Kondo**
The sword requires concentration!
**[06:06] Kondo**
Hold your breath!
**[06:07] Kondo**
Then swing for everything you're worth!
**[06:09] Kondo**
This isn't some wimpy sport!
**[06:11] Kondo**
Fancy tricks won't get you anywhere!
**[06:18] A**
Hey, hey! Pass!
**[06:20] B**
Gorilla, come on!
**[06:24] Kondo**
I'll repeat myself!
**[06:26] Kondo**
Fancy tricks...
**[06:27] A**
Hey, hey! Gorilla!
**[06:28] B**
Gorilla, pass!
**[06:32] Kondo**
Listen up!
**[06:33] Kondo**
I'll repeat myself one last time!
**[06:35] Kondo**
Your left hand is only
there for support!
**[06:37] All**
Nice shot!
**[06:42] Toshi**
Hey, Tetsu.
**[06:44] Toshi**
Can you turn it down a bit?
**[06:46] Tetsu**
What? I can't hear you.
**[06:49] Toshi**
Can you turn it down?!
**[06:51] Tetsu**
Okay, okay!
**[06:53] Tetsu**
So you're also a fan
of these crazy lyrics.
**[06:56] Toshi**
No, Toshi hates hip-hop.
**[06:59] Tetsu**
Shit! What are you doing, Toshi?
**[07:02] Toshi**
Hey, Tetsu.
**[07:03] Toshi**
You can't keep doing this forever.
**[07:12] Toshi**
This is your last chance.
**[07:15] Toshi**
I'm sure you've realized
that you'll never get
**[07:18] ---**
anywhere in society like this.
**[07:20] Tetsu**
Shit, I don't need another lecture.
**[07:23] Tetsu**
You can't boss me around.
**[07:26] Tetsu**
This is how I choose to live.
**[07:29] Toshi**
If you run into a wall and pretend
**[07:31] ---**
it doesn't exist, you'll
never make any progress.
**[07:36] Toshi**
The wall will never change.
**[07:38] Toshi**
So you're the one who has to change.
**[07:41] Toshi**
Right now, you're just rattling
off excuses at the wall.
**[07:47] Toshi**
You're nothing more than a kid.
**[07:49] Toshi**
Before, you might have
gotten away with that.
**[07:52] Toshi**
But in our line of work,
one wrong move and you die.
**[07:58] Toshi**
If you're going to drag
down the Shinsengumi,
**[08:00] ---**
I'll have to cut you down.
**[08:03] Toshi**
When a warrior fails his
duty, he commits seppuku.
**[08:05] Toshi**
We used to be as dumb as you,
**[08:08] Toshi**
but we were able to make it this far.
**[08:13] Tetsu**
Then cut me down.
**[08:16] Tetsu**
I can never be like my brother.
**[08:18] Tetsu**
I don't belong with the Sasaki family,
**[08:20] ---**
and I don't belong here.
**[08:22] Tetsu**
I was born a failure.
**[08:25] Tetsu**
So I'll live as I please
and die as I please!
**[08:29] Tetsu**
Nobody can stop me! Yeah!
**[08:31] Toshi**
Cut it out!
**[08:33] Toshi**
Stop! Stop the car!
**[08:37] Tetsu**
Yo, big guy!
**[08:38] Tetsu**
Whatcha looking at?!
**[08:40] Tetsu**
Got a problem?!
**[08:42] Toshi**
Hey, stop it!
**[08:43] Tetsu**
I got news for you!
**[08:44] Tetsu**
Imma cop! You'a flop!
**[08:47] Tetsu**
Into the slammer you drop!
**[08:48] Tetsu**
Yeah!
**[08:49] Gin**
Huh? What?
**[08:51] Gin**
What was that?
**[08:56] Toshi**
Bad idea, Tetsu!
**[08:57] Toshi**
You don't want to mess with him!
**[08:58] Toshi**
He ain't nothing like the flimsy
walls you've been running into to!
**[09:00] Toshi**
He's rotten to the core!
**[09:01] Tetsu**
Listen up, yo!
**[09:02] Tetsu**
Imma cop! You'a flop!
**[09:05] Tetsu**
Into the slammer you drop!
**[09:06] Gin**
No, I heard that part.
**[09:08] Gin**
What did you say after that?
**[09:09] Tetsu**
Yeah!
**[09:10] Gin**
Huh? Yes?
**[09:12] Tetsu**
I said yeah!
**[09:13] Toshi**
Uh, that was the least important part!
**[09:15] Gin**
I can't hear a thing over this racket.
**[09:17] Tetsu**
No!
**[09:18] Tetsu**
Fuck!
**[09:19] Gin**
Eh? Did you say fuck?!
**[09:21] Gin**
Did you just call me a fuck, bitch?!
**[09:23] A**
Fucking jump!
**[09:24] B**
Fucking crazy monkey!
**[09:26] Gin**
Don't call me a Fashion Leader!
**[09:28] Gin**
I know what you're trying
to pull, frickin' Dankan!
**[09:31] Toshi**
Nobody has any idea what
you're talking about!
**[09:32] Toshi**
Nobody said anything about fashion!
**[09:34] Toshi**
Hey! Stop messing around
in the middle of the street!
**[09:37] Tetsu**
Shut up!
**[09:38] Tetsu**
I'm gonna make fuckin' Curly here pay!
**[09:41] Gin**
Don't make fun of my curls!
**[09:42] Gin**
Though I can understand
why you're jealous.
**[09:44] Tetsu**
I challenge you to a dissin' rap battle.
**[09:47] Tetsu**
I'll embarrass you so you can never
show your face in this town again!
**[09:52] Toshi**
Hey, they're doing something over there!
**[09:54] Toshi**
Why are they dancing in
the middle of the street?
**[09:56] Tetsu**
Yo, yo. Tell me where your momma's from.
**[10:00] Tetsu**
Shimane? Akabane?
Shirogane? Kingdom come?
**[10:03] Tetsu**
Wait, have you seen my underwear, bum?
**[10:10] Toshi**
Why are you joining in?!
**[10:12] Toshi**
You're gonna punch him?!
**[10:13] Toshi**
Is that how this battle works?!
**[10:14] Gin**
Yo, yo. You tell me
where your momma's from?
**[10:18] Gin**
Chris? Fifi? Mori? Kawai?
**[10:21] Toshi**
Who are you trying to diss?!
**[10:22] Toshi**
Is this a not-so-subtle jab
at their horsey faces?!
**[10:25] Gin**
Wait, your underwear was
in the pool, Fakina!
**[10:29] Toshi**
You had his underwear?!
**[10:30] Tetsu**
Effin'!
**[10:33] Man**
What was that for?!
**[10:36] Toshi**
Why are you celebrating?!
**[10:38] Toshi**
Aren't you supposed to be friends?!
**[10:40] Toshi**
A total stranger has joined in!
**[10:43] Tetsu**
I lose, bro.
**[10:44] Toshi**
To who? You're all losers in my mind.
**[10:47] Tetsu**
Will you do another collaboration
with me one day?
**[10:51] Gin**
Huh? What? What was that?
**[10:54] Tetsu**
B–
**[10:54] Tetsu**
Bro!
**[11:04] A**
Suspect arrested at 3:40 PM
**[11:07] A**
for interfering with an investigation.
**[11:08] Toshi**
What?
**[11:10] Toshi**
You guys are...
**[11:11] Isabu**
Were we not needed?
**[11:14] Isabu**
Forgive me.
**[11:16] Isabu**
I didn't mean to trespass on
the Shinsengumi's territory,
**[11:19] Isabu**
but I couldn't allow that
villain to sully your name,
**[11:24] Isabu**
for I am a fan of the Shinsengumi.
**[11:28] Toshi**
That uniform...
**[11:30] Toshi**
You guys are...
**[11:31] Isabu**
I am honored, as a
fellow defender of Edo,
**[11:35] ---**
that the infamous vice
chief recognizes us.
**[11:39] Isabu**
I am the chief of the
Mimawarigumi, Isaburo Sasaki.
**[11:44] Toshi**
The Mimawarigumi...
**[11:45] Isabu**
Our uniform was based off of yours.
**[11:50] Isabu**
You can see that I am a rabid fan.
**[11:55] Isabu**
I've added my number to your
address book under Sabu-chan.
**[11:58] Isabu**
Feel free to message me when you want.
**[12:00] Toshi**
My phone!
**[12:01] Isabu**
I'll add you as Toshi-chan.
**[12:04] Toshi**
B-Bastard!
**[12:05] Isabu**
Oh, forgive me.
**[12:07] Isabu**
I don't have many friends, so
I lost myself for a moment.
**[12:11] Isabu**
Please don't get the wrong idea.
**[12:13] Isabu**
Like I've been saying, I am
a fan of the Shinsengumi.
**[12:17] Isabu**
Your organization is
a miracle in itself.
**[12:21] Isabu**
Penniless beggars with no
pedigree or training to speak of
**[12:25] Isabu**
banded together to keep
Edo safe. A touching tale.
**[12:31] Isabu**
I thought you might be able to
**[12:35] ---**
do something with the
Sasaki family's failure,
**[12:38] Isabu**
but it appears that he didn't
belong with you either.
**[12:43] Isabu**
I believe that the Shinsengumi require
**[12:45] Isabu**
any member who breaks their
code to commit seppuku.
**[12:50] Isabu**
You don't need to fear
the Sasaki family.
**[12:52] Isabu**
Feel free to cut him
down whenever you want.
**[12:55] Isabu**
We don't need this stain on
the Sasaki family's honor.
**[13:00] Isabu**
Worry not.
**[13:02] Isabu**
I've already deleted the mistress's son
**[13:04] ---**
from my address book.
**[13:11] Toshi**
Sorry.
**[13:12] Toshi**
I deleted my address too.
**[13:15] Toshi**
Along with the address of
my excellent pupil here.
**[13:18] Tetsu**
Toshi...
**[13:20] Toshi**
You see, I only have
room in my address book
**[13:23] ---**
for Thorny boys.
**[13:38] A**
Hey, have you heard?
**[13:39] A**
The vice chief had a run-in
with the Mimawarigumi.
**[13:42] B**
I've been hearing a lot
about them recently.
**[13:45] A**
Yeah, they're a new force,
**[13:48] A**
but they've already accomplished more
**[13:50] A**
than a lot of other
police organizations.
**[13:52] A**
And I've heard that their chief,
Isaburo Sasaki, is incredible.
**[13:57] A**
He's the heir to the Sasaki family.
**[14:00] A**
He can fight with two swords.
**[14:01] A**
And his skill with the pen is no less.
**[14:02] A**
A master of three weapons.
**[14:04] A**
They say the Bakufu
relies heavily on him.
**[14:07] B**
Speaking of which, the vice chief's
new assistant is a Sasaki.
**[14:11] A**
Yeah, they're half brothers.
**[14:15] A**
I heard that the vice
chief was defending him.
**[14:18] B**
Seriously?
**[14:19] B**
I figured the vice chief
would have gutted him
**[14:21] ---**
already for his behavior.
**[14:23] A**
Got that right.
**[14:43] Tetsu**
Excuse me, senpai!
**[14:45] Tetsu**
If it wouldn't trouble you too much,
**[14:47] Tetsu**
could you allow me to use
**[14:48] ---**
the vending machine behind you?!
**[14:50] Both**
Huh?
**[14:51] Tetsu**
My apologies.
**[14:53] Tetsu**
I've been entrusted by the vice
chief with an urgent mission.
**[14:58] Tetsu**
Uh, I think he wanted Mayoston Lights.
**[15:00] Tetsu**
Huh? Did he want menthols?
**[15:02] Tetsu**
No, wait. There's an urban myth
**[15:04] ---**
that menthols can cause impotence.
**[15:06] Tetsu**
I can't let the vice
chief become impotent!
**[15:08] Tetsu**
No, wait!
**[15:09] Tetsu**
Smoking is bad for the lungs,
**[15:12] Tetsu**
and the smoke is harmful
to other people,
**[15:14] ---**
especially infants, children, and the elderly.
**[15:17] Tetsu**
I can't let the vice chief become
an impotent cancer-ridden murderer!
**[15:20] Tetsu**
Damn! What do I do?!
**[15:22] Tetsu**
I know!
**[15:23] Tetsu**
If I buy him one of those instead,
**[15:24] ---**
he won't become impotent!
He'll become happy!
**[15:27] Tetsu**
But wait! This is bad for kids!
**[15:29] Toshi**
Just buy my damn cigarettes!
**[15:32] Toshi**
And I didn't ask for
Mayoston or menthols.
**[15:34] Toshi**
I wanted Mayoboros, got it?
**[15:35] Tetsu**
Yes, vice chief sir!
**[15:37] B**
Uh, Vice Chief?
**[15:39] Toshi**
Why are you standing around?
I'll make you commit seppuku.
**[15:41] A**
Yeah, we can do that later,
**[15:44] A**
but who is that?
**[15:46] Toshi**
Are you asleep?
**[15:47] ---**
I already introduced him.
**[15:48] Toshi**
He's my new assistant.
**[15:50] Tetsu**
Tetsunosuke Sasaki!
**[15:53] B**
Wait, I've never met this guy before!
**[15:55] Tetsu**
I apologize.
**[15:57] Tetsu**
I was embarrassed by my baby
face, so I wore sunglasses.
**[16:01] A**
Wait, sunglasses have nothing
to do with facial hair!
**[16:05] Tetsu**
After doing some thinking,
**[16:07] Tetsu**
I've said goodbye to my
old self and started anew!
**[16:13] Tetsu**
I've given up on being a bad boy.
**[16:15] Tetsu**
I'm moving forward from B to C.
**[16:17] Tetsu**
I have matured into a cherry boy!
**[16:20] B**
Uh, you're going backwards?!
**[16:24] Tetsu**
From now on, I will serve the vice chief
**[16:28] ---**
and help the Shinsengumi protect Edo!
**[16:31] Tetsu**
Hey, show your manners.
**[16:33] A**
Hey, his buddies went in the
other direction, from B to A!
**[16:36] A**
They're Akiba boys now!
**[16:37] A**
You're all regressing!
**[16:40] Cat**
Wait, Tetsu. Why do you keep bowing?
**[16:44] Tetsu**
What? I'm trying to be sincere here.
**[16:46] Band**
Are you hard?
**[16:49] Tetsu**
I'm not hard!
**[16:50] Tetsu**
Are you hard?!
**[16:51] B**
They sound so cherry!
Those were the days!
**[16:54] Cat**
Then stand up straight.
**[16:56] Tetsu**
You go first!
**[16:58] Band**
Stop trying to buy time.
**[17:00] Toshi**
Out of the way.
**[17:04] Tetsu**
Please wait, Vice Chief!
**[17:07] Tetsu**
I'm not hard!
**[17:12] Kondo**
I see. Toshi did it again.
**[17:16] Kondo**
Well, I could never tell if he was
doing his job or just picking fights.
**[17:21] Kondo**
He's a real troublemaker.
**[17:23] Kondo**
Hey! What are you doing?!
**[17:24] Kondo**
Run!
**[17:25] Kondo**
If you give up, the game's over!
**[17:27] Tetsu**
You don't understand.
**[17:29] Tetsu**
If you and Toshi make
an enemy of my brother,
**[17:33] Tetsu**
he'll crush me and all
of you in the process.
**[17:38] Tetsu**
You should have listened to him
**[17:40] ---**
and tossed my useless
ass out on the street.
**[17:43] Tetsu**
I'm sure you're all sick of me.
**[17:47] Tetsu**
You wish I would go away.
**[17:50] Tetsu**
I know how you feel.
**[17:53] Tetsu**
That's how I've always been treated,
**[17:55] Tetsu**
ever since my mother died and
**[17:57] ---**
I was brought to the Sasaki home.
**[18:00] Tetsu**
I've gotten used to it.
**[18:03] Kondo**
You ever heard the name Thorny?
**[18:06] Kondo**
It's for nasty kids that prick
you if you get too close.
**[18:11] Kondo**
That's what we called the
bad boys where I come from.
**[18:17] Kondo**
Including him.
**[18:18] ---**
Thorny Toshi.
**[18:20] Kondo**
He was bad enough to make
you guys look like babies.
**[18:27] Kondo**
He spent every day fighting
thugs from the local dojos.
**[18:33] Kondo**
A foolish boy who chose to live
inside the thorny thicket.
**[18:42] Kondo**
That Thorny boy must be
possessed by a devil.
**[18:45] Kondo**
That's what they all used to say.
**[18:48] Kondo**
But it wasn't like that.
**[18:50] Kondo**
He was no different from you.
**[18:53] Kondo**
That was the only place
he had to belong.
**[18:55] Kondo**
Toshi was also the son of a mistress.
**[19:02] Kondo**
His father was a rich
farmer where we came from.
**[19:06] Kondo**
Toshi was the secret son who
didn't pop until his father died.
**[19:13] Kondo**
But the oldest son,
Tamegoro, was a good man.
**[19:17] Kondo**
After Toshi lost his
mother and his home,
**[19:19] Kondo**
Tamegoro took him in
and looked after him.
**[19:22] Kondo**
Toshi was very fond of him.
**[19:27] Kondo**
But it didn't end well.
**[19:30] Kondo**
When he was eleven, there was
a large fire in the village.
**[19:34] Kondo**
Some brigands used this chance to break
**[19:36] ---**
into their home and attack Toshi,
**[19:41] Kondo**
but Tamegoro protected
him and lost his eyes.
**[19:46] Kondo**
The next thing he knew,
**[19:47] ---**
the brigands were strewn
across the floor.
**[19:50] Kondo**
His siblings stared at him with fear,
**[19:53] Kondo**
and the dried eyeballs on the
floor stared at him in silence.
**[20:02] Kondo**
That was when they started
calling him Thorny.
**[20:06] Kondo**
And he could no longer be
with his beloved brother.
**[20:12] Kondo**
He defended you because
he knows how you feel.
**[20:18] Kondo**
Having to endure the
hate of your family.
**[20:20] Kondo**
Being indebted to your brother.
**[20:22] Kondo**
Not having a place to belong.
**[20:24] Kondo**
Being an outsider.
**[20:26] Kondo**
But Tetsu, even after he went astray,
**[20:29] Kondo**
after he threw himself
into the thorny bramble,
**[20:33] Kondo**
he never stopped moving forward.
**[20:36] Toshi**
Stronger! Become stronger!
**[20:39] Toshi**
Stronger than everyone else!
**[20:42] Kondo**
He couldn't get over the fact that
**[20:43] ---**
he wasn't able to protect
the people he loved.
**[20:46] Yama**
Hey, hey, hey!
**[20:47] Yama**
Hey, pass!
**[20:47] Kondo**
We're all the same, Tetsu.
**[20:49] Kondo**
We're all outsiders and failures here.
**[20:53] Yama**
Hey, pass!
**[20:53] Kondo**
But we never gave up on
becoming respectable men
**[20:57] Kondo**
and eventually, we made it here.
**[21:01] Kondo**
That's how men find a place to belong.
**[21:03] Yama**
Stop hogging the ball!
**[21:05] Kondo**
You keep advancing,
**[21:07] ---**
cutting your way through
the thorny brambles,
**[21:10] Kondo**
leaving a trail.
**[21:11] Yama**
I'm here.
**[21:12] Kondo**
Eventually, you're joined
by others and the
**[21:15] ---**
trail becomes a wide path.
**[21:19] Kondo**
I can't tell you what to do now
that your family doesn't want you.
**[21:23] Kondo**
You have to choose your own path.
**[21:27] Kondo**
But if you want a place to belong,
**[21:29] ---**
if you want respect,
**[21:31] Kondo**
you can never stop moving.
**[21:40] Kondo**
Never stop walking through the thorns.
