[03:49] Nomi
    Our first contestant lives
[03:51] ---
    on a bench next to the Kabuki District, Hasegawa Taizo-san.
[03:56] Nomi
    38 years old. Unemployed.
[04:00] Madao
    Ow!
[04:03] Nomi
    It's a pleasure, Hasegawa-san.
[04:06] Madao
    Why am I here?
[04:09] Madao
    That's what I want to know.
[04:11] Madao
    When I woke up, I was lying in the middle
[04:13] ---
    of a dump like a worn-out rag.
[04:16] Madao
    All I could remember was that I had lost everything,
[04:19] ---
    that I was trash...
[04:21] Madao
    But I held something in my clenched fist!

    Golden Ticket
    A dream come true for Madaos around the country.
[04:26] Madao
    A single ray of light in this filthy dump.
[04:30] Madao
    Where did it come from?
[04:32] Madao
    I couldn't remember, but I followed the light here.
[04:38] Madao
    There's one thing I could remember clearly.
[04:42] Madao
    My thirst for the ten million.
[04:46] Madao
    I'm going to take advantage of this last chance I've been given
[04:51] Madao
    and climb out of the garbage heap!
[04:55] Nomi
    And so, our contestant was a respectable public servant,
[04:58] Nomi
    but then he lost his job, lost his wife, and now he's a Madao!
[05:02] Nomi
    Will he be able to claim the ten million and start anew?
[05:07] Nomi
    His fate rests upon this game show!
[05:11] Nomi
    His quest for the ten million begins with the first question for one hundred thousand!
[05:16] Nomi
    First question!

    Where have I heard this before?!
[05:38] Madao
    Search my memories!

[05:49] A
    After introducing these reforms, Yoshimune became known as...

    Oh, that's it!
[05:54] Madao
    I learned about this in class at temple school!
[05:56] A
    Hm, Hasegawa, answer this question.
[05:58] A
    What was Yoshimune known as?
[06:00] Madao
    He called on me!

[06:04] Boy
    U-Uh...
[06:06] Madao

[06:11] Madao
    Damn, how am I supposed to know the answer?
[06:13] Boy
    Uh...
[06:18] Madao
    Huh?
[06:19] Madao
    Who's this cute girl?
[06:21] Madao
    I don't remember her sitting next to me.
[06:25] A
    You have rice on your face.
[06:28] A
    Correct.
[06:29] A
    He was known as the Rice Shogun, just like you.
[06:33] Madao
    Yeah, he's the Rice Shogun!
[06:36] Madao
    And I don't recall experiencing this bittersweet episode?
[06:40] Madao
    I sat next to this cute girl?
[06:43] Madao
    Who is she?
[06:45] Madao
    I can't remember.
[06:46] Madao
    Can't remember her name or anything...

    Teacher, there's an old man struggling outside!
[06:53] A
    Stop him!
SIGN    C: Rice Shogun.
[06:56] Madao
    I'm over there?!
[06:58] Nomi
    Correct!
[06:59] Nomi
    The answer is C: Rice Shogun!
[07:01] Nomi
    Hasegawa-san gets his hundred thousand!
[07:05] Nomi
    Oh, Hasegawa-san?
[07:06] Nomi
    Are you unhappy about answering correctly?
[07:09] Madao
    No wonder I couldn't remember her name.
[07:11] Madao
    I was watching the scene from a completely different place.
[07:14] Madao
    That brought back some bad memories...
[07:16] Nomi
    Next, we'll move on to the question for five hundred thousand!
[07:22] Madao
    The battle's just begun!

    Where?!
[07:47] Madao
    Where did I hear it?!
[07:48] Madao
    Try to remember!
[07:51] Madao
    It was when...
[07:54] A
    I see. Then we'll take a vote.
SIGN    Life Lessons
[07:57] Madao
    Yes! This was definitely something I learned at temple school!
[08:00] Madao
    I'm sure of it!
[08:01] A
    Will you eat the piggy yourselves,
[08:03] ---
    or will you feed it to the lion?
[08:06] A
    As you were the ones who raised him, you must decide yourselves.
[08:09] Madao
    That's a pretty brutal life lesson!
[08:11] B
    Teacher! We can't do it!
[08:13] Madao
    Of course!
[08:14] B
    We like steak more than pork chops!
[08:17] Madao
    That's why you're crying?!
[08:19] C
    Yeah! I'm sure lions like beef more than pork!
[08:23] Madao
    What are they supposed to be learning here?
[08:26] Madao
    Oh, I remember raising various animals at temple school.
[08:31] Madao
    I learned many difficult life lessons that
[08:34] ---
    I've completely forgotten.
[08:36] B
    At the moment, the vote is evenly split.
[08:38] B
    Oh, Hasegawa.
[08:40] B
    What's your vote?
[08:42] Madao
    Hm? Me?
[08:44] Madao
    Which side did I choose?
[08:46] Madao
    Please spare me!
[08:49] Madao
    That's my final answer!
[08:51] A
    How can you betray us at the last second?!
[08:54] B
    Are you supposed to be Kobayakawa Hideaki?!

    Hasegawa-san is advancing towards the prize!
[09:08] Nomi
    Yet he looks to be upset every time he gives a correct answer.
[09:13] Madao
    I-I was going to do some hanging around,
[09:17] Madao
    when someone stopped me and made me a pet.
SIGN    Chicken Pig Rabbit
[09:20] Madao
    But I never expected to be used in a lesson for kids.
[09:24] Madao
    Well, I was doomed to die either way.
[09:28] Madao
    B-But every time I reflect upon my memories,
[09:31] ---
    I uncover another hidden trauma.
[09:34] Madao
    I climb towards the light in the future,
[09:37] Madao
    but the darkness in my past drags me down.
[09:40] Madao
    Don't try to stop me!
[09:43] Madao
    The ten million yen will be mine!
[09:49] Nomi
    That brings us to the third question, for one million yen!

    They're so mean.

    Something's wrong with them.
[10:23] Chi
    I-It's her.
[10:25] Chi
    The Rice Shogun girl!
[10:27] Chi
    She freed me from the school execution?!
[10:32] Madao
    This is the second time you've saved me.
[10:36] Madao
    Why are you helping me?
[10:40] Chi
    You remind me of my dad.
[10:43] Chi
    My dad used to do a lot of hanging around, the way you do.
[10:47] Chi
    But I would always stop him.
[10:51] Chi
    He ran off, leaving behind his debts.
[10:54] Chi
    Mom and I have no money, but it's okay.
[11:00] Chi
    As long as we know he's still alive,

    we can keep on going.
[11:05] Chi
    My dream is to become a massive-asset dat-ass object, or Madao,

[11:11] Chi
    and participate in this.

    I'll be able to pay off our debts,

    and Dad might come back after he sees me on TV.
SIGN    A: Dat ass
[11:19] Chi
    So I have to study hard at temple school!
[11:23] Chi
    But if I run into a question I don't know,
[11:29] Chi
    it'll be your turn to save me.
[11:33] Chi
    I'll use a lifeline to call you.
[11:36] Chi
    So please tell me the answer.
[11:42] Madao
    Yes, I made a promise to her.
[11:47] Madao
    But before she had a chance to become a massive-asset
[11:51] Madao
    dat-ass object, or Madao, the phone rang.

    Hey, it's for you, Hasegawa-san.
[12:02] A
    Someone keeps asking for Piggy.
[12:05] A
    If she knows this number, she must be an acquaintance of yours.

    Huh?
[12:10] A
    I can't understand you if you keep crying.
[12:14] Madao
    Hello?

    Hey, what's wrong? What happened?

    I keep shaking her, but she won't wake up!
[12:30] Chi
    What should I do?
[12:32] Chi
    Tell me, Piggy... Piggy...
[12:35] Madao
    I failed as her lifeline.
[12:39] Madao
    All I could do was stare at the stickers on the phone.
SIGN    Little Fatty
[12:46] Nomi
    Hasegawa-san chooses A: Little Fatty.
[12:50] Nomi
    Is that your final answer?

    We'll tell you if he's right after the break!
[13:18] Nomi
    Correct!
[13:20] Nomi
    A: Little Fatty!

    Hasegawa-san has answered three questions correctly!
[13:23] Nomi
    He's made it to one million yen!
[13:26] Nomi
    Oh! He's fainted!
[13:28] Nomi
    Hasegawa-san has looked pale after every correct answer,
[13:30] ---
    and now he's collapsed!

    H-How could that have happened?
[13:35] Madao
    How could I have forgotten?
[13:39] Madao
    I'm such a Madao.
[13:43] Madao
    No more...

    Please give me the next question.

    He stood up!
[14:09] Nomi
    After fainting and coughing up blood, he continues on!

    I'm okay!
[14:14] Nomi
    He wants the ten million really bad!
[14:17] Madao
    I want the ten million...

    You bet.

    I may have lost my will to live,
[14:22] ---
    but my desire for the ten million remains.

    This guy's pretty tough.

    or was she actually enjoying herself?

[19:31] Nomi
    This is a tough one!
[19:33] Nomi
    Can Hasegawa-san answer the question and win ten million yen?!
[19:38] Madao
    Excuse me, can I use a lifeline?
[19:41] Madao
    I'd like to call someone.
[19:42] Nomi
    Hasegawa-san immediately uses a lifeline!
[19:45] Nomi
    But do any of his friends know the answer to this question?!
[20:06] Nomi
    Nobody's picking up.
[20:10] Nomi
    Too bad!
[20:15] Madao
    Yeah, hello?
[20:19] Madao
    Yeah, it's me.
[20:22] Madao
    Sorry about taking so long to call.

    Our contestant was acquainted with the girl in the final question!
[21:00] Nomi
    A miracle phone call!
[21:01] Nomi
    Endless cheers for our Madao!
[21:02] Nomi
    No, he is no longer a Madao!
[21:05] Nomi
    He is a Miracle Madao who's made it to the top!
[21:12] A
    Damn, I'm impressed.
[21:14] A
    Then we'll be taking the prize money, big guy.
[21:18] Madao
    You can call me Madao.
[21:21] Madao
    I still have much to learn
[21:25] A
    Don't be so modest.
[21:26] A
    There aren't many people who can pay off ten million so easily.
[21:31] A
    I hope you can be as quick on the rest of the debt.
[21:35] Madao
    Huh?
SIGN    Taizo Hasegawa is one question away from becoming a Madaonaire. Why did he choose to continue?
SIGN    A: Because he wear sunglasses.
    C: Because this show is rigged.
SIGN    B: Because he has no job.
    D: Because he is Madao.
[21:37] A
    The rest of the debt. Twenty million.
[21:41] A
    I'm counting on you.
[21:43] Madao
    What?!
SIGN    D: Because he is a Madao.
SIGN    D: Because he is a Madao.

    Huh? Why are you so mad?
[23:25] Both

    Presents are meant to be given early.
SIGN    Shinpachi and Kagura haven't said a word since the Chageath Note episode.
SIGN    What is the definition of a regular cast member? Nobody even cares anymore.
