    "Hello, Gunma-chan!"
[01:34] Narrator
    Hello, everyone.
[01:36] Narrator
    This is the land of Gunma.
[01:38] Narrator
    Ah, not the Gunma written in kanji, but in hiragana.
[01:43] Narrator
    It may be a bit different
    from the Gunma you all know.
[01:47] Narrator
    That there is Gunma-chan,
[01:49] Narrator
    the protagonist of our story.
[01:52] Narrator
    Many things are about to happen here,
[01:56] Narrator
    but I hope you enjoy our journey.
[02:00] Gunma-chan
    Nice to meet you.
[02:02] Aoma
    Why?! I don't get it!
[02:05] Aoma
    Why don't you ever listen to me, Meemi?
[02:08] Meemi
    Have you ever stopped
    to think that you may be wrong, Aoma?
[02:14] Gunma-chan
    Aoma! Meemi! What's wrong?
[02:18] Meemi
    Gunma-chan! Perfect timing.
[02:21] Aoma
    Gunma-chan, what do you think?
[02:25] Aoma
    Meemi here says yaki-manju
    should have some kind of filling!
[02:29] Meemi
    Aoma says he doesn't fill
    his yaki-manju with anything!
[02:34] Narrator
    Allow me to explain.
[02:36] Narrator
    "Yaki-manju" is the soul food of Gunma.
[02:39] Narrator
    They are steamed buns skewered
    with bamboo sticks,
[02:41] Narrator
    glazed in a sweet miso sauce
    and roasted above a fire.
[02:43] Narrator
    The charred bits are especially delicious.
[02:46] Narrator
    Apparently, some are filled with
    a paste and others aren't.
SIGN    With filling
SIGN    Without filling
[02:49] Aoma
    Gunma-chan, can you imagine
    eating a yaki-manju with filling?
[02:54] Meemi
    Gunma-chan, can you imagine
    eating a yaki-manju without filling?
[03:01] Aoma
    There's no way fillings
    should be in yaki-manju!
[03:04] Meemi
    It's not yaki-manju without filling!
[03:06] Aoma
    No way it needs fillings!
[03:07] Meemi
    Absolutely must have fillings!
[03:09] Aoma
    Don't! Need! Them!
[03:11] Meemi
    Yes! They! Do!
[03:12] Aoma
    Don't need them!
[03:13] Meemi
    Yes they do!
[03:14] Aoma
    Don't need them!
[03:15] Meemi
    Yes they do!
[03:16] Meemi+Aoma
    Gunma-chan, which side are you on?!
[03:21] Aoma
    You like yaki-manju. Is that right, Gunma-chan?
[03:26] Meemi
    Imagine a perfectly charred yaki-manju.
[03:31] Aoma
    Now take a big bite!
[03:35] Meemi
    Isn't it delicious?
[03:43] Gunma-chan
    It's super yummy!
[03:44] Meemi
    It had filling, right?
[03:47] Aoma
    It didn't have any filling, right?
[03:51] Meemi+Aoma
    Which is it?!
[03:53] Narrator
    Gunma-chan likes yaki-manju
    with and without filling.
[03:59] Narrator
    Choosing one over the other is impossible.
[04:04] Meemi
    There's only three of us here,
[04:06] Meemi
    so you have to decide
     and be the tiebreaker!
[04:10] Aoma
    That's right!
[04:11] Aoma
    Go ahead and say what you really think!
[04:16] Meemi
    Which is it?
[04:17] Aoma
    Which do you like?
[04:21] Meemi
    Hurry up and answer, Gunma-chan!
[04:24] Aoma
    Why aren't you saying anything, Gunma-chan?
[04:32] Narrator
    Gunma-chan didn't feel troubled initially,
[04:35] Narrator
    but the more he thought,
    the more confused he became.
[04:39] Narrator
    Now he's really in a pickle.
[04:42] Aoma
    Why do you have to be so headstrong, Meemi?!
[04:45] Meemi
    What are you talking about?
[04:46] Meemi
    We're only in this mess
    because you're so stubborn!
[04:50] Aoma
    What did you say?!
[04:51] Meemi
    You heard me!
[04:52] Aoma
    You're the one who's wrong, Meemi!
[04:54] Meemi
    You're wrong, Aoma!
[04:55] Aoma
    You're wrong, Meemi!
[04:56] Meemi
    You're wrong, Aoma!
[05:10] Narrator
    That was when something
    awakened inside Gunma-chan...
[05:14] Narrator
    A power for times of great trouble!
[05:28] Gunma-chan
    Gunma Power!
[05:31] Narrator
    Gunma-chan's unlocked power, that was...
[05:36] Narrator
    The power to comfort people
    who are angry and sooth their hearts.
[05:46] Meemi
    Hey, I may have been a bit too harsh.
[05:51] Aoma
    I was just gonna say the same thing about me.
[05:54] Meemi
    Yaki-manju are good even without filling.
[05:58] Aoma
    Yaki-manju are good with filling, too.
[06:03] Meemi
    No, they don't need them.
[06:05] Aoma
    Yes, they do need them!
[06:07] Meemi
    No they don't!
[06:08] Aoma
    Yes they do!
[06:09] Meemi
    No they don't!
[06:10] Aoma
    Yes they do!
[06:11] Meemi
    No they don't!
[06:13] Meemi+Aoma
    Gunma-chan, which side are you on?!
[06:26] Gunma-chan's Mom
    Gunma-chan, welcome home!
[06:28] Gunma-chan's Mom
    You came at just the right time.
[06:29] Gunma-chan's Mom
    I made some yaki-manju!
[06:31] Gunma-chan's Mom
    Aoma-chan, Meemi-chan,
    would you like some, too?
[06:34] Gunma-chan+Meemi+Aoma
    Yay!
[06:39] Gunma-chan's Mom
    Go ahead and dig in!
[06:41] Gunma-chan+Meemi+Aoma
    Let's eat!
[06:54] Aoma
    This yaki-manju has natto inside it.
[06:58] Meemi
    This one has curry inside it!
[07:00] Gunma-chan
    Mine has pickled daikon radish inside it.
[07:01] Gunma-chan's Mom
    Yaki-manju can either be plain
    or have a paste filling,
[07:05] Gunma-chan's Mom
    but I thought I'd be adventurous today!
[07:07] Gunma-chan's Mom
    How is it?
[07:10] Narrator
    The adventurous yaki-manju
    made by Gunma-chan's mom
[07:14] Narrator
    can sometimes lead to awkward results.
[07:18] Gunma-chan
    It's a little...
[07:20] Aoma
    Really weird!
[07:22] Meemi
    I think they're yummy!
[07:24] Gunma-chan
    I guess yaki-manju can come in all forms.
[07:28] Aoma
    Yeah, you're right.
[07:30] Meemi
    I think so, too!
[07:38] Gunma-chan
    I'm all out of energy...
[07:41] Narrator
    My, my...
[07:42] Narrator
    Gunma-chan seems to have worked too
    hard and lost his energy power.
[07:47] Narrator
    But there's no need to worry.
[07:51] Narrator
    Gunma-chan can regain his lost
    power by soaking in a hot spring.
[08:00] Gunma-chan
    I love hot springs!
[08:03] Gunma-chan
    Hot Springs Power... 100%!

    The hill they climbed
    is called a "kofun".

[09:35] Narrator

    Simply put, they are very, very old tombs,

[09:42] Aoma
    So refreshing!
[09:52] Gunma-chan
    Oh, hello there Haniwa-san.
[09:55] Haniwa (All)
    Hello!
[09:57] Gunma-chan
    Was this hill your land, Haniwa-san?

[10:21] Haniwa A
    We Haniwa are very accepting, after all.

    Adventurous kids are always welcome!

[10:32] Haniwa D
    It will help to spread Haniwa around the world!

    That's why we were following the two of you!

    They seem to be having fun.
[10:43] Haniwa D
    Not really, although we do
    want to get to know you better.
[10:51] Haniwa A
    So you are invited to visit our village.
[10:55] Aoma

    You... think so?
[12:23] Kofun-sama
    I mean, of course it was!
[12:25] Kofun-sama
    Who could possibly think I'm not punny?
[12:34] Aoma
    What's wrong with everyone?
[12:36] Aoma
    It wasn't that funny.

    You've really done it now...
[12:46] Kofun-sama
    What's that now?
[12:48] Kofun-sama
    You think my puns aren't funny?!

    Oh well, whatever.
[13:35] Aoma
    You didn't solve the actual problem!

    Watch out!

    He sacrificed himself to save us...

    is to crack and get repaired.
[14:05] Aoma
    Wow, he's back to normal!
[14:07] Gunma-chan
    I had no idea.
[14:09] Kofun-sama
    Really, how could you not laugh
    at my puns, Aoma?
[14:13] Kofun-sama
    Ah! Oh, mah-y!

    Here's a Yayoihime strawberry!
[16:25] Meemi
    Mom says I shouldn't take
    anything from strangers.
[16:32] Yayoihime
    I suppose, but I did introduce myself.
[16:36] Yayoihime
    I wouldn't call that a stranger, would you?
[16:40] Gunma-chan
    That's true! We're acquaintances now.

    That's delicious!

    They're known for their

[17:03] Yayoihime
    They have a perfect

[17:06] Yayoihime
    as well a great shelf life!

    Here's another one.
[17:16] Yayoihime
    Why don't you have one, too?
[17:24] Meemi
    It's so good!
[17:26] Yayoihime
    I told you they were good!

    but they pair really well with cakes,
    parfaits, and smoothies, too!
[17:53] Yayoihime
    Anyway, they're just
    the very best strawberries.
[17:56] Gunma-chan
    Wow, Yayoihime are amazing!
[17:59] Meemi
    I bet there's a catch.
[18:01] Yayoihime
    Aren't you being a bit too skeptical?
[18:05] Yayoihime
    People are meant to trust each other
    and live in a great kingdom.
[18:10] Meemi
    Kingdom?
[18:11] Yayoihime
    I'm actually a princess
    of the Strawberry Tribe.
[18:13] Meemi
    I don't believe you.
[18:15] Yayoihime
    You're really headstrong, aren't you?
[18:18] Meemi
    My name is Meemi.
[18:21] Gunma-chan
    And I'm Gunma-chan.
[18:25] Yayoihime
    You two are a funny pair!
[18:27] Yayoihime
    I won't forget meeting you two today.
[18:31] Gunma-chan
    Why's that?
[18:32] Yayoihime
    Because in the presence
    of a real princess...
[18:36] Yayoihime
    I don't care for this girl Meemi's attitude.
[18:40] Gunma-chan
    Oh, wow, really?
[18:42] Meemi
    Now's not the time to be impressed.
[18:44] Gunma-chan
    It isn't?
[18:45] Meemi
    Why would a princess be
    handing out strawberries anyway?
[18:49] Yayoihime
    W-Well, that's to...
[18:51] Yayoihime
    Spread the deliciousness
    of Yayoihime, of course!
[18:54] Yayoihime
    Everyone feels happy after eating Yayoihime.
[18:57] Yayoihime
    And who wouldn't be glad
    to get delicious strawberries
[19:00] Yayoihime
    from a kind, beautiful person like me?
[19:04] Gunma-chan
    You're awesome!
[19:05] Meemi
    I still think she's hiding something.
[19:09] Yayoihime
    What is it with you, Meemi?
[19:12] Meemi
    I'd like to ask you
    the same thing, Yayoihime!
[19:16] Servants
    Princess!
[19:17] Servants
    It's time to go back to the palace!
[19:20] Meemi
    Well that's a surprise!
[19:22] Meemi
    She really was a princess.
[19:27] Yayoihime
    I was just disrespected by
    some random kid and I'm furious!
[19:31] Gunma-chan
    What is she saying?
[19:33] Yayoihime
    Nothing at all!
[19:35] Meemi
    She's hiding something...
[19:37] Yayoihime
    Today is by far the worst,
    most awful day of my life!
[19:41] Servants
    We're sorry, truly sorry, princess!
[19:48] Narrator
    That was when something
    awakened inside Gunma-chan...
[19:51] Narrator
    A power for times of great trouble!
[20:06] Gunma-chan
    Gunma Power!
[20:12] Yayoihime
    Now that I think of it,
    it was a wonderful day!
[20:14] Yayoihime
    I got to meet Gunma-chan and Meemi!
[20:17] Servants
    We have prepared your special
    Yayoihime parfait at the palace!
[20:22] Yayoihime
    How wonderful!
[20:23] Yayoihime
    Then we better get going.
[20:25] Yayoihime
    So long!
[20:29] Meemi
    I really thought there was
    something shady going on,
[20:31] Meemi
    but I guess I was just overthinking.
[20:37] Gunma-chan+Meemi
    So good!
[20:40] Meemi
    But something still feels off.
[20:46] Yayoihime
    Mirror, mirror, answer me
    if you hear my call.
[20:52] Mirror
    Yayoihime-sama, what would you like to know?
[20:55] Yayoihime
    Tell me, mirror.
[20:56] Yayoihime
    Which strawberry is
    the most delicious of them all?
[21:00] Mirror
    Of course, that would be Tochi—me.
[21:04] Yayoihime
    You wanna get smashed into bits, huh?
[21:06] Yayoihime
    Stupid mirror...
[21:08] Mirror
    What? No, wait!
[21:12] Mirror 2
    That would be Yayoihime.
[21:17] Yayoihime
    See! Yayoihime really are
    the best strawberries!
[21:20] Yayoihime
    See you all again someday!
[21:23] Gunma-chan
    Yayoihime Power... 100%!

    There are still many exciting
    places in Hiragana Gunma!

    Oh, it seems as though Gunma-chan is bored.
[23:16] Narrator
    It looks like he can't leave
    because of the rain.

    Let's hope he can find
