[02:03] Gunma-chan
    Huh?
[02:11] Gunma-chan
    What?
[02:12] Tom
    We're in trouble, please help us!

    Wait, who are you?
[02:37] Tom
    Oh! Pardon me.
[02:40] Tom
    My name is Tom Shisaku.
[02:44] Gunma-chan
    I'm Gunma-chan.
[02:45] Tom
    Yes, I know.
[02:46] Tom
    In my world, you are quite famous.
[02:50] Gunma-chan
    Your world...?
[02:52] Tom
    Yes, I came from space.
[02:55] Tom
    I came from another planet to here,
    in Gunma, to come get you.
[02:59] Gunma-chan
    Oh, okay.
[03:01] Gunma-chan
    Then let's go.
[03:02] Tom
    Well, that was quick.
[03:05] Tom
    Please, call me Tom.
[03:09] Gunma-chan
    Okay, Tom-san.
[03:10] Tom
    Yes.
[03:11] Tom
    I look forward to
    accompanying you, Gunma-chan.
[03:13] Gunma-chan
    Me, too, Tom-san!
[03:16] Gunma-chan
    Oh?

    It's here.

[03:38] Tom
    This is our ride, the D51.
[03:41] Gunma-chan
    Whoa! So cool!
[03:43] Tom
    We'll leave on this train.
[03:45] Gunma-chan
    Nice!
[03:47] Tom
    Gunma-chan...
[03:48] Tom
    I actually have a favor to ask of you.
[03:52] Tom
    There is a planet I'd like for you to save.
[03:55] Gunma-chan
    Planet? Okay!
[03:58] Tom
    How wonderful! Thank you.
[04:00] Tom
    I appreciate your help, Gunma-chan.
[04:04] Gunma-chan
    So, all aboard!
[04:08] Tom
    Maybe you should change
    out of your pajamas...
[04:53] Tom
    Gunma-chan, thank you again
    for accepting my request.
[05:01] Gunma-chan
    I dunno if I can do it,
[05:03] Gunma-chan
    but I won't know until I try.
[05:07] Tom
    Just as I expected from you.
[05:10] Gunma-chan
    Aww, shucks. I'm not all that.
[05:14] Gunma-chan
    Oh?
[05:15] Tom
    We're about to head toward the stars.
[05:17] Gunma-chan
    Stars?
[05:18] Tom
    Yes.
[05:32] Tom
    We'll be facing upright to go to space.
[05:35] Gunma-chan
    Uhhh...
[05:38] Tom
    We're about to leave
    Earth's gravitational field.
[05:56] Gunma-chan
    Whoa...
[05:59] Gunma-chan
    Hey, it's Mr. Moon!
[06:03] Tom
    We'll encounter many planets on our journey.
[06:19] Gunma-chan
    Wow...
[06:21] Gunma-chan
    We're going pretty fast.
[06:23] Tom
    Yes, this is the extra supersonic express.
[06:25] Gunma-chan

    Hey, it's a red Haniwa-san.

    Not quite, Gunma-chan.
[07:18] Train conductor
    I'm a Space Haniwa.
[07:20] Train conductor
    While I may look like the Haniwa you know,
[07:22] Train conductor
    I'm a completely different species.
[07:24] Gunma-chan

[07:40] Gunma-chan

    What's this?!
[07:44] Gunma-chan
    What's going on, Tom-san?

    What?

    No worries!

    Waaaaah!
[08:17] Tom
    We have the upper hand
    as far as mobility goes.

    Whoa...

    Wahhh...
[08:37] Gunma-chan

[08:41] Tom
    There's no other option...
[08:42] Tom
    Do what you need.
[08:44] Train conductor
    Aye aye, sir!
[08:58] Gunma-chan
    Hey, they're going away.
[09:00] Tom
    We're safe now.
[09:03] Tom
    I came prepared for times
    like these and equipped the
[09:06] Tom
    D51 with missiles
    to fight off space pirates.
[09:09] Gunma-chan
    Wow, good job, Tom-san.
[09:11] Gunma-chan
    So they won't come after us?
[09:13] Tom
    That missile leaves its targets
    with numb legs for 48 hours,
[09:17] Tom
    like when your legs fall asleep
    after you sit on your knees.
[09:20] Tom
    They won't be able to move for a good while.
[09:22] Tom
    Although, I suppose it's
    much too kind considering
[09:26] Tom
    what would have happened
    to us had we been caught.
[09:30] Gunma-chan
    It is?
[09:31] Tom
    I guess you could say it
    was... for our dignity.
[09:36] Gunma-chan
    Dignity?
SIGN    Dignity
[09:38] Narrator
    Dignity is the pride we
    each have as individuals.
[09:42] Narrator
    This doesn't necessarily come from rules,
    but from our own sense of self.
[09:45] Gunma-chan
    Cool.
[09:47] Tom
    Each person has their own set of morals.
[09:52] Gunma-chan
    That sounds like it'd be hard.
[09:54] Tom
    No, not hard at all.
[09:56] Tom
    You just do as your heart says.
[10:00] Gunma-chan
    Oh... Hmm, okay...
[10:06] Gunma-chan
    I'm getting hungry.
[10:09] Tom
    Regardless of the circumstances,
    it's only natural that we get hungry.
[10:13] Tom
    No problem, it's almost time to eat.

    Yay!

    Thanks, come again!
[10:57] Gunma-chan
    Wow!
[10:59] Gunma-chan
    Looks so good!
[11:01] Tom
    They're famous in space.
[11:03] Tom
    Our hearts fill abundantly
    when we eat good food.
[11:07] Gunma-chan
    Yeah, it's super good!
[11:09] Tom
    We're almost at our destination
    on Planet Unknown.
[11:29] Gunma-chan
    Wow!
[11:39] Gunma-chan
    Huh? There's tons of Wise Ones.
[11:42] Unknown-ian A
    No, no, that's incorrect.
[11:45] Unknown-ian A
    We're Unknown-ians.
[11:49] Gunma-chan
    Oh, okay.
[11:50] Gunma-chan
    I'm Gunma-chan.
[11:52] Unknown-ian A
    Yes, nice to meet you, Gunma-chan-san.
[11:54] Unknown-ian A
    We've been looking forward to your arrival.
[11:56] Tom
    They were the ones
    who asked me to come get you.
[12:01] Gunma-chan
    Really?
[12:02] Unknown-ian A
    Gunma-chan-san!
[12:03] Gunma-chan
    Y-Yes...
[12:05] Unknown-ian A
    Right now, our Planet
    Unknown is facing a crisis.
[12:10] Unknown-ian A
    After tens of thousands
    of years of development,
[12:12] Unknown-ian A
    our civilization has lost its spirit...
[12:14] Unknown-ian A
    The population has declined,
[12:16] Unknown-ian A
    and our stipends and savings
    are steadily decreasing.
[12:19] Unknown-ian A
    Global warming has advanced
    without an end in sight,
[12:22] Unknown-ian A
    with average temperatures
    increasing 2° F in just 100 years.
[12:26] Unknown-ian A
    Abnormal weather has
    become increasingly common,
[12:28] Unknown-ian A
    and conflicts among various
    regions are on the rise.
[12:35] Unknown-ian A
    And that's why!
[12:36] Gunma-chan
    Err...
[12:37] Unknown-ian A
    We hoped you could spread
    your Gunma Power to our planet.
[12:42] Unknown-ian A
    So we approached the space
    merchant, Mr. Tom Shisaku,
[12:44] Unknown-ian A
    with the request to bring you here.
[12:46] Gunma-chan
    You're a space merchant?
[12:48] Tom
    That's right.
[12:49] Tom
    I'm a mediator of all things space,
    a handyman of sorts.
[12:53] Gunma-chan
    Oh.
[12:54] Unknown-ian A
    Gunma-chan-san!
[12:55] Gunma-chan
    Right.
[12:56] Unknown-ian A
    I hate to burden you so soon
    after your arrival,
[12:58] Unknown-ian A
    but could you please spread
    your Gunma Power for us?
[13:01] Gunma-chan
    Okay.
[13:02] Unknown-ian A
    Oh! Thank you so much, Gunma-chan-san!
[13:06] Unknown-ians
    Ooohhhhh!
[13:10] Unknown-ians
    Gunma-chan-san! Gunma-chan-san!
[13:13] Unknown-ians
    Gunma-chan-san! Gunma-chan-san!
[13:15] Unknown-ian A
    Then, Gunma-chan-san...
[13:17] Unknown-ian A
    Please, go ahead.
[13:18] Gunma-chan
    Mkay!
[13:21] Gunma-chan
    Gunma Power!
[13:32] Unknown-ians
    Huh? What? Nothing's happening.
[13:33] Gunma-chan
    Whaaaaa?
[13:35] Narrator
    It looks like Gunma-chan's
    Gunma Power only works
[13:38] Narrator
    within the borders of hiragana Gunma.
[13:40] Unknown-ian A
    How could this be...
[13:41] Unknown-ian A
    Tom! Explain what's going on!
[13:44] Tom
    Oh, my. What a strange question.
[13:48] Tom
    I'm merely a middleman.
[13:50] Tom
    I brought Gunma-chan
    from hiragana Gunma like you asked.
[13:55] Tom
    What happens beyond
    that is purely unrelated to me.
[14:00] Unknown-ian D
    Do you know how much we spent
    to bring Gunma-chan-san here?!
[14:05] Unknown-ian E
    We only did this because our government
    administration isn't working...
[14:10] Unknown-ian B
    You were the one who said we needed reform!
[14:14] Unknown-ian F
    Hey! Stop!
[14:16] Unknown-ians
    Why, you!
[14:17] Unknown-ians
    Let me at him!
[14:18] Unknown-ians
    Ow, ow!
[14:18] Gunma-chan
    Wawawawa... Huh?!
[14:22] Tom
    This is our chance.
[14:25] Tom
    Let's get out of here.
[14:33] Narrator
    Oh, no. Gunma-chan came all the way here,
[14:37] Narrator
    but it looks like he wasn't very welcome.
[14:40] Narrator
    What will happen now?

[14:54] Tom
    You see, my home planet perished
    hundreds of years ago.
[15:00] Tom
    My people are drifters by birth.
[15:04] Tom
    I happened to pass by Gunma during work,
[15:08] Tom
    when I came across your
    Gunma Power, Gunma-chan.
[15:11] Tom
    When the Unknown-ians came to me for help,
[15:14] Tom
    I decided to bring you out here, but...
[15:17] Tom
    I guess sometimes, things don't go
    as well as we'd hoped.
[15:23] Gunma-chan
    So that's how that happened...
[15:24] Tom
    There's only so much one person
    can do, in the first place.
[15:28] Tom
    But the Unknown-ians held too
    high of expectations on you.
[15:32] Tom
    That was their own fault.
[15:35] Tom
    It's impossible
    for such terrible problems...
[15:38] Tom
    To be fixed like magic.
[15:43] Gunma-chan
    Tom-san, are you...
[15:45] Gunma-chan
    kind of a bad person?
[15:50] Tom
    Say that I were a bad person...
[15:53] Tom
    Do you think I'd respond,
[15:55] Tom
    "Yes! I am a bad person" to your question?
[16:00] Gunma-chan
    That's true.
[16:01] Tom
    Stories tend to have...
[16:03] Tom
    "Justice" versus "injustice",
[16:06] Tom
    but it's all a matter
    of which perspective you take.
[16:10] Gunma-chan
    Really?
[16:12] Tom
    Yes, really.
[16:13] Tom
    Everyone is doing what would
    best serve their own interests.
[16:17] Tom
    Wise creatures are all the same,
    even when you look across the universe.
[16:22] Gunma-chan
    Ohh, okay...
[16:23] Tom
    So you understand?
[16:28] Gunma-chan
    Got it.
[16:30] Gunma-chan
    But...
[16:32] Tom
    But...?
[16:36] Gunma-chan
    I don't understand.
[16:38] Tom
    What?
[16:38] Gunma-chan
    Gunma-chan likes to... have fun.
[16:43] Tom
    I can understand that.
[16:44] Gunma-chan
    And Gunma-chan likes everybody.
[16:48] Tom
    I see. I get that, as well.
[16:53] Gunma-chan
    I hope everyone that Gunma-chan
    likes, likes everyone.
[16:57] Tom
    Huh, wait a second...
[17:00] Tom
    Everyone that you like, likes everyone?
[17:12] Tom
    You think that's even possible in the world?
[17:17] Gunma-chan
    I thought hard about it, too.
[17:21] Tom
    Even if you've thought hard about it,
[17:23] Tom
    it's a child's way of thinking,
    which means very little.
[17:28] Gunma-chan
    I'm a kid, but I thought about it.
[17:30] Tom
    Very well.
[17:31] Tom
    Let's hear what you think.
[17:38] Tom
    So what is your answer?
[17:40] Gunma-chan
    Gunma-chan thought...

[19:20] Narrator
    that he unleashed his Space Gunma Power!

    Space Gunma Power!

    This may look similar
    to the usual Gunma Power,
[19:31] Narrator
    but this is Space Gunma Power.
[19:34] Narrator
    People that are pure of heart can see
    the difference, I'm sure.
[19:39] Gunma-chan
    There doesn't need to be only one answer.

    Why... You really did think hard
    about this, Gunma-chan.

    It seems there's even more
    fun things awaiting us.
[20:03] Gunma-chan
    I hope so.
[20:07] Unknown-ian E
    Instead of blaming others,
    I must act to bring change!
[20:12] Unknown-ian B
    It's meaningless rejecting our culture.
