I'd better be careful, believe it. SIGN    [Note: On the back cover of JUMP is a Shippuden the movie Ad with the promotional line: "Naruto is dead"] SIGN    [Konpeito, the old dango shop is losing customers to a new store.] SIGN    [Sweets is the owner of the new sweets shop, Andromeda. He sells all kinds of sweets from every planet across the galaxy.] [01:49] Gintoki     Your shop still looks pretty shabby, gramps. SIGN    [KONPEITO] [01:52] Master     Your face still looks pretty shabby, Mister. [01:55] Gintoki     Japanese sweets shops nowadays have cakes and sundaes and whatnot. [01:59] Gintoki     Your shop has only dango, you know... It's delicious, but still... [02:03] Master     I'm a dango man. That's all I know. SIGN    [Lake Toya] [02:08] Master     You're still carrying that thing around your waist? [02:12] Master     Samurai these days... [02:14] Gintoki     It's like a pacifier. [02:16] Gintoki     I just don't feel right without something hanging on my waist. [02:19] Gintoki     This is a tough time for people sticking with analog. [02:22] Gintoki     The mainstream world is all digital now. Digital. [02:25] Gintoki     And TV will go terrestrial digital broadcasting in a few years. [02:28] Gintoki     You won't be able to watch anything on your old TV. [02:31] Master     Eh? Really? [02:33] Gintoki     Be aware! To watch shows with terrestrial digital broadcasting on your current TV... [02:36] ---     ...you'll need a special turner. [02:38] Master     I didn't know that. [02:39] Master     I thought [02:40] Master     terrestrial digital broadcasting would be the same as watching color broadcasting on a black-and-white TV. [02:44] Gintoki     All told, it's not easy for analog people. [02:48] Master     That's so true. [02:52] Gintoki     What's that? [02:53] Master     That's the new sweets shop, called "Andromeda." [02:56] Master     Supposedly you can taste sweets from every planet there, [02:59] Master     so it's quickly become very popular. [03:01] Master     Took away what few customers I had. [03:05] Gintoki     I think you should have a poster girl. [03:09] Master     I do have a poster girl. [03:11] Gintoki     That's not a poster girl. [03:15] Gintoki     That's a positively ugly girl. [03:18] Master     Don't judge women by their looks, Mister. [03:20] Master     Look how wide her hips are. She'll bear healthy kids. [03:23] Gintoki     By monogenetic reproduction? SIGN    [Note: Monogenetic reproduction = asexual reproduction. Meaning she's so ugly she looks asexual.] [03:25] Master     No, no. The basics of evolution is sexual reproduction. [03:29] Master     You need to mix two sets of genes. [03:31] Gintoki     We don't mix! It says to never mix them for safety reasons. SIGN    [Note: Parody of the warning label on cleaning detergents. Mixing detergents can create a poisonous gas.] [03:34] Gintoki     You should read the instructions carefully! [03:36] Daughter     Gin-san. [03:37] Daughter     Here you go. They're on me. [03:41] Gintoki     Gramps, I need to go home. [03:43] Master     Wait! [03:44] Master     My future son-in-law and heir. [03:45] Gintoki     Well, really now... SIGN    ["Dango Over Flowers"] SIGN    [ANDROMEDA] [03:56] Waitress     Welcome to Andromeda. SIGN    [MENU] [Note: This spelling of Menu uses the Japanese characters for female + milk meaning breasts] [04:00] Waitress     Here's the menu. [04:02] Gintoki     Thank you. [04:04] Gintoki     Wow! [04:05] ---     I'll take the Sundae Special. Big magnum size, please. [04:09] Master     I'll order Pudding Astro Galaxy à la mode and Winner Max coffee. [04:14] Gintoki     Hey, were you following me, old man?! [04:16] Master     It's spying. You have to know your enemy, right? [04:20] Gintoki     Oh. That's an excellent reason. [04:22] Gintoki     I didn't know you had such sneaky business tactics. [04:25] ---     Ah, I saw her undies. [04:28] Master     This is your treat, Gin-san. [04:29] Gintoki     You're sponging off me rather than spying. [04:32] Gintoki     Ah, I saw her undies. [04:33] Master     You can eat dango alone, but you can't eat sweets alone. [04:36] Master     So it's a reasonable price if you think of it as a complementary fee. [04:39] ---     Ah, I saw her undies. [04:40] Gintoki     Forget complementary. [04:42] Gintoki     Eating sweets with you is no complement. [04:44] Gintoki     Sweets aren't for old men. [04:47] Gintoki     That's why they call it "sweets" and not "senile." That'd be false advertising. [04:50] ---     Ah, I saw her undies. [04:52] Waitress     Enjoy! [04:54] Master     By the way... Compared to the couples that go to Korean BBQs together, [04:59] Master     couples that come to places like this seem more affectionate. [05:02] ---     Ah, I saw her undies. [05:03] Gintoki     I think it's because the couples at a Korean BBQ have that "we've done it already" look, SIGN    [Note: In Japan it is said that couples who dine at a BBQ have already slept together because they are comfortable enough around each other to eat a messy meal.] [05:06] Gintoki     so we can watch them without getting excited. [05:09] Gintoki     But the couples here have that "in-the-future" look. [05:13] ---     Ah, I saw her undies. [05:15] Master     That is, "Men eat mitarashi-dango quietly." Ken-san said so. SIGN    [Note: Spoof of TV Ad catch phrase. "Men drink Sapporo Beer Quietly." Mitarashi-dango is dumplings with soy sauce paste. Ken Takakura is a Japanese actor.] [05:20] Gintoki     No, he didn't. Ken-san doesn't eat dango. [05:24] Gintoki/Master     Ah, I saw her undies. [05:29] Master     For an old man like me, that kind of animal fat is too much. [05:32] Gintoki     Ah? You mean whipped cream? [05:34] Master     Speaking of sweetness, our generation grew up on bee honey and sweet potatoes. [05:39] Gintoki     Well, I think it's all right that each family has its own rules. [05:42] Gintoki     Sweets and dango are as different as the north and south poles, anyway. [05:46] Master     I wish it were that simple. [05:51] Daughter     Welcome! [05:52] Gintoki     Oh, there's a customer! Good for you. [05:55] Master     Well... [05:57] Daughter     What would you like to order? [05:59] Sweets     Dango... [06:01] ---     That's all you have, right? [06:04] Master     He's Sweets from Andromeda... The owner of the shop. [06:08] ---     Oh, my... [06:09] Master     ...Hello, you must be the owner of Andromeda. [06:11] Master     Thank you for coming to our shabby shop during your busy day. [06:17] Sweets     Sometimes I like to eat at simple shops like this. How's business? [06:22] Master     As you can see, very poor. Please send me some of your customers. [06:28] Sweets     That's why I told you that you should sell this store to me and retire. [06:34] Gintoki     Sell the store? [06:35] Master     Well... [06:37] Sweets     Dango is already out of fashion. [06:39] Sweets     There's no way a simple store like this can attract customers. [06:43] Sweets     There're already too many crude and flavorless sweets on this planet. [06:47] Sweets     So, it is my dream to turn this area into a sweets shops district, led by my Andromeda. [06:53] Sweets     Then, to get things rolling, I'll expand throughout the nation. [06:57] Sweets     The recipes will be digitized so that every shop can have the same tasty sweets. [07:02] Sweets     I'll spread true sweetness throughout the country. [07:06] Master     Well, even though my dango shop looks shabby, it has been in my family for 400 years. [07:12] Master     I know I'm a completely analog person, but we've kept the same taste. [07:16] Master     It can't come to an end so easily in my generation. [07:20] Master     And we still have some customers who like the dango at our shop. [07:26] ---     Is that the taste of old tradition? [07:28] ---     It sounds like you're a really archaic analog person. [07:31] ---     But as for which taste will remain, don't you think the customer should decide? [07:36] Sweets     Well, how about competing against me? [07:39] Sweets     If you're just running your dango shop by mere force of habit, [07:42] Sweets     it's obvious you'll eventually go out of business. [07:44] Sweets     But if you beat me, your shop's reputation will grow and you'll probably bring customers back. [07:48] Master     Well... [07:50] Sweets     I'll set up a dango competition. SIGN     SIGN     [07:52] Sweets     We'll compete for how much we can sell in one hour. SIGN    Of course, if I win, I'll take over this shop. SIGN    Your great "400-year-old" recipe can't lose, right? [08:01] Master     Well... [08:03] Sweets     Well, I'm not going to push you. [08:05] Daughter     Excuse me, here's your dango. [08:07] Sweets     I don't want any of that small-town stuff. [08:16] Daughter     ...Dad... [08:19] Master     Maybe it's about time to call it quits. [08:22] Gintoki     Does that mean... [08:26] Gintoki     ...free, all-you-can-eat dango? SIGN    [TV CHAMPION DANGO KING COMPETITION] [Note: This is a spoof of the show TV CHAMPION, where they try to find the "King" of whatever the episode is about.] [08:37] Host     Please come and see! And taste! [08:42] Host     This time, we have man versus man, craftsman against craftsman, [08:45] Host     sweets against sweets competition! [08:47] Host     It's the "TV Champion Dango King Competition." The participants are... [08:52] Host     The old established dango shop that has kept its traditional recipe in the family for 400 years... [08:57] Host     Konpeito! [09:02] Host     And coming from another galaxy to spread its unknown sweets... [09:08] Host     Andromeda! [09:13] Host     Since we're short on ideas and time, let's begin the final match! [09:17] Host     Everyone, please line up in front of your favorite dango. [09:20] Host     And eat as much as you like. [09:22] Host     But there's only one hour! [09:24] Host     The shop that clears out all its dango first will win... [09:30] ---     What?! [09:31] Host     There's already a long line in front of Andromeda, even before the start of the competition! [09:35] Host     That means it's the most popular sweets shop in Edo. [09:38] Host     And how about Konpeito? [09:41] Host     There're no costumers yet. [09:43] Daughter     Dad... [09:46] Chikuro     You're not very nice, Sweets-sama. This looks like a fixed race. [09:50] Sweets     I just offered him a competition and he accepted. [09:54] Chikuro     It's true. We don't have anything shady going on here, right? [09:58] Sweets     When this competition is over, that property will be mine. [10:01] Sweets     And our shop's reputation will be boosted by word of mouth from customers [10:03] Sweets     who've come here to taste our new Japanese sweets. [10:06] Sweets     This is to our advantage. [10:07] Host     It looks like the winner will be decided before the competition even begins! [10:12] Host     Yes, for example, it's like the chain death match between Tomoko Matsushima and the lion! SIGN    [Note: Tomoko Matsushima is an actress who was attacked by a lion in Kenya while visiting for a documentary.] [10:21] Host     Ah, what's that?! [10:35] Host     Oh! Three people... Only three people... [10:36] Host     ...are walking towards Konpeito. [10:42] Chikuro     Only three people. [10:43] Sweets     What traditional taste. [10:51] Master     Mister... [10:53] Gintoki     Is all this really free? [10:55] Master     Yes. And this is probably the last chance to eat my dango. [11:00] Master     Please have help yourselves. [11:05] Host     Let the TV Champion Dango King Competition, the final round, [11:09] Host     one-hour dango sell-out match! Begin! [11:24] Host     Let the TV Champion Dango King Competition, the final round [11:28] Host     one-hour dango sell-out match! Begin! [11:37] Host     The Andromeda booth has been flooded with customers! [11:39] Host     Plates are being emptied, one after another! [11:43] Host     These people are like ants! SIGN    [Note: Famous phrase by Musuka from "Castle in the Sky". Host's eyes on the mask also look like Musuka's.] [11:45] Host     And this man is the commentator and judge, Musashi-san. [11:48] Host     He's known as the most famous gourmet in Kabukicho. [11:51] Musashi     You'd better eat while you can. [11:53] Host     Thanks for coming to our show. [11:55] Host     By the way, today's match seems like a clash between the old and the new way. [11:59] Host     How do you see it? [12:01] Musashi     You'd better eat while you can. [12:03] Host     Hmm... I see. [12:06] Host     It looks like Andromeda has already cleared 100 plates. [12:09] Sweets     Hurry, refill more dango plates. [12:12] Host     On the other hand, Konpeito...! [12:15] Host     They're so fast! [12:16] Host     Although there's only three of them, they're competing against Andromeda. [12:21] Gintoki     You guys, eat as much as you can so you won't need to eat for three days! [12:25] Master     Mister... [12:28] Host     It's the hunger! [12:30] Host     They're not here for tasty sweets! [12:33] Host     They just came to fill their stomachs! [12:35] Musashi     You'd better eat while you can. [12:37] Host     The emptied plates are piling up at a furious pace. [12:41] Host     Is this a symbol of something greater, perhaps the Tower of Babel in Edo?! [12:45] Host     How about Andromeda? [12:46] Host     This is...! [12:47] Host     It's at the mercy of its flood of customers, so they're having a hard time selling dango. [12:51] Host     It's like that saying: "Happy events tend to be accompanied by problems." [12:53] Sweets     It's out of control! [12:55] ---     There are more customers than we expected. [12:57] Host     Now it's getting hard to predict a winner! It's really hard to believe, [13:01] Host     but only three people are running a death match against those crowds! Konpeito! [13:06] Master     Thanks... You're supporting my shop by doing this... [13:13] Father     Well... It doesn't look like we'll get any dango soon. [13:16] Child A     Dad, I'm hungry. [13:17] Child B     I want dango. [13:24] Father     Well, is it all right if we have that shop's dango? [13:26] Children     No way. I want the kind from Andromeda! [13:30] Father     Stop being selfish! [13:31] Father     We should consider ourselves lucky to even have dango. Be patient. [13:35] Children     All right. [13:36] Father     Let's go! [13:37] Children     Yeah. [13:39] Host     Oh! It's a big family. [13:41] Host     A big family has approached Konpeito! Will they spur on Konpeito? [13:45] Host     They're 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, plus their father. [13:52] Gintoki     Who said you could join the... [13:55] Gintoki     Sakata family dining table? [13:57] Father     Whoa! [14:00] Master     Hey, what are you doing, Mister? [14:03] Host     Oh! What's going on?! [14:05] Host     He knocked out the first customer to come to the booth! [14:08] Gintoki     This is my dining table. I won't let anyone near it. [14:12] Master     What?! [14:13] Host     A Dinner Table Declaration! [14:15] Host     It's Our Dinner Table Declaration. [14:17] Host     It doesn't look like he's thinking about the competition. [14:19] Musashi     You'd better eat while you can. [14:22] Hoat Host     I see... That's a very deep thing to say. [14:27] Gintoki     Take this for now. [14:28] Host     How devilish! How self-centered! But wait. [14:32] Host     Ah! What is that?! [14:34] Host     Originally, there were only four dango on a stick, but now they're five! [14:39] Father     Th-This is... [14:41] Gintoki     It's...one stick of dango. SIGN    [Note: Spoof of the moving story, "One Bowl of Hot Soba".] [14:44] ---     Dad. That's good. [14:52] Father     Now we'll still be alive tomorrow. [14:55] Host     It's so moving! How impressive! [14:59] Musashi     You'd better eat while you can. [15:02] Gintoki     Grow up well. SIGN    [Note: Phrase from a hamburger TV spot.] [15:05] Master     Mister! This is not the time to say something like that! [15:07] Master     This is a competition! Stop messing around...just hurry and eat more dango! [15:10] Kagura     Gin-chan, this goes with rice, too! [15:13] Master     What are you doing?! [15:15] Master     Why are you eating dango with rice? It'll make you full sooner! [15:19] Kagura     No, the main dish is clearly dango. [15:21] Kagura     The rice is a side dish, you know. [15:23] Master     I don't care. I really don't, from the bottom of my heart! [15:26] Master     Stop eating it with rice! [15:27] Gintoki     There! [15:29] Kagura     I'm not satisfied if I have a meal without rice! [15:32] Kagura     I don't give a damn about Western eating! [15:34] Master     Whatever, I'm telling you this competition isn't for your stomach! [15:38] Chikuro     Objection. [15:39] Chikuro     Isn't it against the rules to bring other foods to a dango competition? [15:43] Host     Now Andromeda has made a public protest against a customer at Konpeito. [15:48] ---     Musashi-san, as the judge, what do you think about eating dango with white rice? [15:52] Musashi     You'd better eat while you can. [15:54] Host     Does that mean it isn't against the rules? [15:57] Musashi     Ya! [15:58] Host     Their objection was dismissed! [16:00] Host     Whether you eat dango with white rice as a set, [16:02] Host     boost your appetite with sugar water, compress it to fit more in your stomach, [16:06] Host     have it with mayonnaise, Tabasco or any other seasonings...it's all permitted. [16:11] Kagura     More rice. [16:13] ---     Gin-chan, I'm innovating. [16:15] ---     If you put dango on top of rice, it's dango-don. [16:17] ---     If you pour dango on top of rice, it's dango-rice. [16:20] Shinpachi     Kagura-chan, I told you not to eat two carbohydrates at the same time. [16:25] Master     What are you doing? Takeout? [16:27] Shinpachi     If I put them in the freezer, [16:30] Shinpachi     and then warm them up in the microwave later, I can eat them whenever I'm hungry! [16:32] Master     Eat them now! It means nothing if you eat them later. [16:34] Master     And what a shabby idea! [16:37] Chikuro     Objection! Takeout is against the ethics of competition. [16:40] Host     Again, Andromeda is raising an objection. [16:45] ---     Musashi-san, what do you think? Is takeout against the rules? [16:48] Musashi     You'd better eat while you can. [16:51] Host     Does that mean it's against the rules? [16:53] Musashi     Ya. [16:54] Host     Their objection has been sustained. [16:56] Host     Takeout is against the rules. Tupperware is prohibited. [16:59] Shinpachi     Tsk! [16:59] Master     Don't "tsk" me! [17:01] Host     Now we've passed 30 minutes! There are 30 minutes remaining. [17:04] Host     Both teams are struggling to figure out how many plates they should prepare. [17:07] Host     Who could have predicted such a close match? [17:09] Host     Whichever side brings things under control first will have the advantage. [17:12] Chikuro     Sweets-sama! [17:13] Sweets     Don't worry. I have a backup plan. [17:17] Wrestler     Hey! Move, move. [17:20] Host     Ah, that is... [17:22] Host     They're sumo wrestlers! Sumo wrestlers! [17:24] Host     All of a sudden, a group of sumo wrestlers appeared [17:26] Host     and pushed everyone else away, taking over the table. [17:30] Host     They're eating at an amazing speed. [17:32] Host     The dango look like malt balls. They're monsters. Real monsters! [17:37] Host     Andromeda, 500 plates! Konpeito, 450 plates! [17:39] Host     In very little time, the difference has been cut to 50 plates. [17:41] Host     What do you think, Musashi-san? [17:43] Musashi     Well... You'd better eat while you can. [17:46] Host     So true. [17:47] Master     Mister! [17:49] Gintoki     Don't worry. [17:52] Shinpachi     We just finished our snack.. [17:54] Master     You're full already? This is bad. Really bad. [17:57] Gintoki     No... [18:00] Gintoki     Now, it's time to get to work. [18:04] Kagura     Come on, appetizer time is over. [18:09] Gintoki     Shinpachi! [18:11] Shinpachi     Yes! [18:16] Host     Whoaaa! What's this?! [18:19] Host     One person is taking the dango off the skewers to make it easier to eat. [18:22] Host     And one person is throwing them into the girl's mouth with perfect control, without breaking a single one. [18:27] Host     Combination! The key to something like that is having the perfect combination. [18:30] Sweets     Hey! That's not eating! That's feeding! [18:34] Host     An objection has been raised! [18:36] Musashi     You'd better eat while you can. [18:38] Host     It means there's no problem. [18:41] Host     So fast! It's unbelievably fast! [18:44] Host     The sumo wrestlers aren't to be outdone. It's even. It's even! [18:48] Host     Both teams are holding their own and not budging one inch. [18:50] Host     They're engaged in a fierce battle. [18:51] Host     But the fiercest thing is the stomach of that China girl. [18:54] Host     Is it bottomless? [18:55] Host     She's staying even against five sumo wrestlers. Her stomach may even be bigger... [18:59] Host     She's eating rice! She's eating rice between the dango! [19:04] Gintoki     Are you crazy? I said no more rice. [19:07] Kagura     I don't give a damn about Western food! [19:12] Kagura     My eyes! My eyes! [19:15] Gintoki     Kagura! [19:16] Host     Oh no! She's got dango sauce in her eyes. It must hurt. [19:20] Host     It doesn't look like she'll be able to get up for a while! [19:22] Host     This could be a great chance for Andromeda! [19:24] Sweets     They really made us worry. But this is a nice surprise for the competition. [19:30] Chikuro     Now we just have to hope they widen the gap...then... [19:33] Host     Oh! But these guys seem to be nearing their limit. [19:37] Chikuro     We'll most likely grab a win. [19:39] Sweets     Right. [19:40] Gintoki     I wonder if that'll happen. [19:41] Sweets     What? [19:45] Gintoki     Shinpachi. [19:47] Gintoki     Take Kagura away now. SIGN    [Mind Your Sugar Levels] [19:52] Gintoki     Leave the rest to the Sugar King. SIGN    Gin-san, that doesn't sound very realistic with your stomach like that. [19:58] Shinpachi     And your doctor told you to stop eating sweets, right? [20:02] Shinpachi     If you eat more... [20:05] Gintoki     It's not good for young people nowadays to give up so easily. [20:10] Gintoki     Right, old man? [20:14] Master     Ah, that's true. [20:23] Host     Oh, he just keeps going. He keeps on going! [20:26] Sweets     After eating that much dango, his stomach must be at its limit. [20:31] Sweets     So why is he still eating? He loves sweets that much? [20:34] Master     Sorry, but we're... [20:36] Master     ...analog people. We are stubborn and don't know when to give up. [20:43] Host     Both teams are beyond their limit. [20:45] Host     They're shoving dango down their throats by sheer force of will! [20:48] Host     One minute left! The number of plates is even. [20:51] Musashi     You'd better eat while you can. [20:57] Host     Oh! Now both teams have stopped eating. [21:01] ---     What made them stop at the end? [21:04] Sweets     What happened?! Why have you stopped eating?! [21:06] Sweets     If you eat one more dango, we'll win. [21:09] Wrestler A     I feel like throwing up just looking at dango. Gochandesu. SIGN    [Note: Gochandesu is a word Sumo wrestlers use a lot.] [21:13] Sweets     What?! [21:15] Master     They're getting tired of it. [21:17] Master     It's normal for a person whose eaten hundreds of the same kind of dango to get sick of it. [21:21] Sweets     Getting tired of it? Are you kidding?! [21:23] Sweets     I've tasted all kinds of sweets and used the experience to create even more kinds of sweets. [21:27] Sweets     And you say they're sick of my dango?! [21:29] Chikuro     Sweets-sama, please calm down. [21:31] Sweets     This can't be happening. [21:32] Sweets     It can't be happening. Not with my dango! [21:35] Sweets     My dango is so much better than your shabby small-town dango! [21:38] Sweets     And your people stopped eating, too! [21:42] Master     You've created a thousand kinds of tastes for the world. [21:45] Master     But all I know is dango. [21:48] Master     So I have to create a thousand worlds with dango. [21:52] Master     Mister... [21:54] Master     Have you come to my shop a thousand times? Have you ever gotten tired of it? [21:57] Gintoki     Don't say such a stupid thing. I'm not tired of it. [22:00] Gintoki     I'm not tired of it at all, but my stomach is so full, there's no more space left. [22:08] Master     Then put it in your ball sack! [22:13] Host     Time's up! [22:16] Daughter     Gin-san! [22:21] Master     Some things you learn by trying many things, [22:25] Master     and some things you learn by stubbornly doing only one thing over and over. [22:33] Master     Right? [22:34] Master     Mister... [22:38] Gintoki     Yeah... It's a tough time for analog people. SIGN    Hello, everybody!
