SIGN    Who's the Culprit
[01:30] Gunma-chan
    "Who's the Culprit?"
[01:34] Meemi's Dad
    Gather around, everyone.
[01:36] Meemi's Dad
    We've witnessed a terrible crime.
[01:40] Meemi's Dad
    No need to be scared...
[01:42] Meemi's Dad
    This is merely a type of visual production
    common in anime called "imaginary scenery".
[01:46] Meemi's Dad
    Ma'am, allow me to ask once more...
[01:50] Meemi's Dad
    The items were in the fridge,
    to be eaten after dinner.
SIGN    Pudding
[01:55] Meemi's Dad
    Six hot spring
    puddings... have gone missing.
[01:58] Meemi's Dad
    Is that correct?
[02:00] Mom
    That's right...
[02:03] Mom
    Before Meemi-chan and
    Meemi-chan's father came to visit,
SIGN    Pudding
[02:06] Mom
    I had bought six puddings
    for everyone including our family.
[02:10] Mom
    And they were chilling in the fridge.
[02:13] Meemi's Dad
    I see. Now, please stay calm.
[02:17] Meemi's Dad
    Leave this case... to me,
    the mystery novel author!
[02:23] All
    Case...?
[02:25] Meemi's Dad
    That's right...
[02:26] Meemi's Dad
    Stealing six puddings shows just
    how strong the culprit's will was...
[02:32] Meemi's Dad
    It's likely those puddings
    are no longer with us.
[02:37] Meemi's Dad
    Yes, they're already... in
    the culprit's stomach.
[02:42] Dad
    What?!
[02:43] Dad
    I... I didn't do it!
[02:46] Meemi's Dad
    Now, now, there's nothing to worry about.
[02:49] Meemi's Dad
    As an author of mystery novels,
    I'm also a detective!
[02:55] Meemi
    Go, Daddy!
[02:56] Meemi's Dad
    Thank you, Meemi.
[02:58] Meemi's Dad
    By the way, ma'am...
[02:59] Mom
    Yes!
[03:01] Meemi's Dad
    May I have a sip of hot coffee
    to stimulate my brain cells?
[03:06] Mom
    Uh... sure.
[03:08] Mom
    Here you go.
[03:09] Meemi's Dad
    Thank you.
[03:11] Meemi's Dad
    Excuse me while I take a sip...
[03:16] Meemi's Dad
    Apologies! I don't do well with hot liquids!
[03:19] Dad
    Then why did you ask for hot coffee...?
[03:22] Meemi's Dad
    It's in our nature to
    make mistakes sometimes...
[03:27] Meemi's Dad
    Don't you think, sir?
[03:30] Dad
    Sure?
[03:31] Meemi
    Go, Daddy!
[03:32] Meemi's Dad
    Thank you, Meemi.
[03:35] Meemi's Dad
    Now... ma'am?
[03:38] Mom
    Y-Yes...
[03:40] Meemi's Dad
    Say the culprit were to come forward...
[03:42] Mom
    Y-Yes...?
[03:43] Meemi's Dad
    You would hate the sin
    and not the sinner, right?
[03:51] Mom
    I confess. I ate it.
[03:53] Meemi's Dad
    Sure, you—what?!
[03:56] Mom
    I ate the first one.
[04:04] Mom
    I was the one who bought
    the pudding to begin with.
[04:08] Mom
    They were supposed to chill in the fridge
    until after dinner, but...
[04:12] Mom
    They just looked so good,
    I couldn't help myself.
[04:17] Mom
    I thought if I served the rest and
    said I didn't want one, no one would notice.
[04:24] Meemi's Dad
    I see! So that's what
    happened... but it's no problem!
[04:29] Meemi's Dad
    I expected there to be more than
    one culprit from the beginning...
[04:35] Meemi's Dad
    Why? Because...
[04:36] Meemi's Dad
    Six hot spring puddings
    is far too many for one person!
[04:42] Dad
    R-Right...
[04:43] Meemi
    Go, Daddy!
[04:45] Meemi's Dad
    Thank you, Meemi.
[04:47] Meemi's Dad
    Now, the question is...
[04:49] Meemi's Dad
    ...how did the rest disappear?
[04:54] Dad
    I told you I didn't do it!
[04:56] Meemi's Dad
    In moments like these, culprits
    can't act like their usual selves.
[05:02] Meemi's Dad
    They might sweat... tremble ever so
    slightly... or their eyes may wander...
[05:09] Meemi's Dad
    Gunma-chan?
[05:12] Gunma-chan
    I'm sorry! I ate one!
[05:14] Gunma-chan
    With Meemi and Yuumi!
[05:16] Gunma-chan
    The hot spring puddings
    were in the fridge
[05:18] Gunma-chan
    and they said, "We'll eat
    them sooner or later anyways"!
[05:20] Gunma-chan
    Meemi and Yuumi said so!
[05:21] Yuumi+Meemi
    Hey!
[05:22] Meemi
    How could you say that, Gunma-chan?
[05:24] Yuumi
    Let's have a little chat...
[05:27] Meemi
    Don't make it sound like we made you eat it!
[05:30] Yuumi
    You were the one who said let's eat it!
[05:34] Gunma-chan
    Meemi and Yuumi said so first...
[05:36] Yuumi+Meemi
    Shh!
[05:37] Meemi
    That's not important!
[05:37] Meemi's Dad
    I see... some might call Gunma-chan
    a victim in this case...
[05:40] Yuumi
    It's a matter of honor!
[05:43] Dad
    Really?
[05:44] Meemi's Dad
    Now...
SIGN    Pudding
[05:45] Meemi's Dad
    There were six hot spring puddings...
[05:48] Meemi's Dad
    One eaten by Mom...
[05:50] Meemi's Dad
    and one each by Gunma-chan,
    Yuumi-chan, and Meemi.
[05:55] Meemi's Dad
    So two hot spring puddings left...
[05:59] Meemi's Dad
    How could the remaining
    two puddings disappear?
[06:06] Dad
    I-It wasn't me.
[06:08] Meemi's Dad
    It must have been hard
    to keep such a big secret.
[06:13] Meemi's Dad
    But... you can tell us the truth.
[06:17] Dad
    I told you I didn't do it!
[06:19] Dad
    I'm being falsely accused!
[06:20] Dad
    I really didn't do it!
[06:23] Meemi's Dad
    Every culprit says that!
[06:29] Meemi's Dad
    Sir... this is checkmate!
[06:33] Narrator
    Since this is an educational show,
    allow me to explain.
[06:36] Narrator
    "Checkmate" is a term used
    in the game of chess.
[06:39] Narrator
    Players say it when they've
    cornered their opponent's king.
[06:43] Narrator
    Similarly, detectives who've cornered
    the culprit also enjoy saying "checkmate".
[06:49] Meemi's Dad
    I'll say it again... it's checkmate!
[06:53] Meemi's Dad
    You're the culprit.
[07:07] Mom
    Oh, my. Ninja Cat and Ninja Mouse.
[07:10] Yuumi
    Hot spring puddings...
[07:14] Ninja Cat
    My sincere apologies.
[07:16] Ninja Cat
    I saw everyone eating them,
    so I acted on a sudden impulse.
[07:19] Ninja Mouse
    As an apology, I'll graze my stomach...
[07:21] All
    No!
[07:23] Mom
    No need to open your stomach
    over some silly hot spring puddings.
[07:27] Mom
    It's my fault for forgetting about the two
    of you and not buying eight to begin with.
[07:32] Ninja Cat
    Then allow us to present...
[07:36] Ninja Cat
    These are more flips than usual.
[07:39] All
    Wow! Awesome!
[07:42] Meemi's Dad
    Sir...
[07:44] Meemi's Dad
    We've been through a lot...
[07:47] Meemi's Dad
    But I'm glad we got a happy ending
    with no culprits or victims!
[07:51] Dad
    Huh?
[07:52] Meemi's Dad
    This case is closed!
[07:55] Meemi
    Go, Daddy!
[07:56] Meemi's Dad
    Thank you, Meemi!
[07:59] Dad
    Huhhhh?
[08:01] Narrator
    Tough luck!
[08:03] Gunma-chan
    Meemi's Dad Power... 100%!
SIGN    Was It Better Back Then?
SIGN    Was It Better Back Then?
[08:10] Gunma-chan
    "Was It Better Back Then?"
[08:14] Narrator
    It's another sunny day in Gunma.
[08:17] Narrator
    What's this?
[08:19] Narrator
    It's rather rare to see them together.
[08:22] Kofun-sama
    Time certainly flies
    faster as you get older.
[08:28] Daruma King
    It certainly does.
[08:30] Kofun-sama
    Feels like only yesterday that we
    were building keyhole-shaped kofuns...
[08:36] Kofun-sama
    But it turns out, that was 1,700 years ago.
[08:40] Daruma King
    I'm a bit younger, but nowadays,
    I'm the oldest wherever I go.
[08:46] Daruma King
    The kids don't like
    to have me around that much.
[08:51] Kofun-sama
    Age is one thing out of our control.
[08:54] King Daruma
    I catch myself saying,
[08:56] King Daruma
    "Things used to be so good" or...
[08:59] King Daruma
    "Kids these days!" but...
[09:03] King Daruma
    I'd like to get rid of that habit.
[09:05] Gunma-chan
    Yeah, totally. Things
    were great back in the day!
[09:11] Kofun-sama
    Why, hello, Gunma-chan.
[09:13] King Daruma
    When did you...
[09:14] Gunma-chan
    Hello!
[09:15] Kofun-sama+King Daruma
    Hello.
[09:17] Gunma-chan
    Kids these days are rough!
[09:22] King Daruma
    Ah, so you feel that way, too?
[09:24] Gunma-chan
    Of course!
[09:28] Gunma-chan
    Things used to be so great...
[09:31] Kofun-sama
    Back when, exactly?
[09:35] Gunma-chan
    ...like two years ago?
[09:40] Kofun-sama
    Two years! Back then!
[09:42] King Daruma
    Must be real tough!
[09:45] Gunma-chan
    Kids always treat Gunma-chan like I'm really old.
[09:54] Gunma-chan
    ...Why are you laughing?
[09:56] Kofun-sama
    Well, we were so busy thinking that we were old.
[10:00] Kofun-sama
    Who knew you were the same as us!
[10:03] Gunma-chan
    I really do feel like I've gotten old.
[10:06] Gunma-chan
    I'm already a grown-up!
[10:09] King Daruma
    Sure, if you think so, then you are.
[10:14] Kofun-sama
    So then it's true. We're all
    a bunch of grandpas.
[10:19] King Daruma
    It used to be so great.
[10:22] Kofun-sama
    Those were the golden days.
[10:25] Gunma-chan
    Yeah, I liked being a kid.
[10:29] King Daruma+Kofun-sama
    Wouldn't it be nice to go back...
[10:33] Gunma-chan
    Then let's do it!
[10:46] Gunma-chan
    Gunma Power!
[10:59] Narrator
    I had no idea that Gunma Power
    had the ability to do this!
[11:04] Narrator
    But I suppose we know
    very little about the world.
[11:08] Gunma-chan
    Oh, hey! You guys became smaller!
[11:12] Kofun-sama
    To me, it looks like
    Gunma-chan became bigger.
[11:15] King Daruma
    I think so, too.
[11:17] Narrator
    Things look differently depending
    on whose perspective it is.
[11:22] Gunma-chan
    Wait a second... Gunma-chan hasn't changed.
[11:27] Kofun-sama
    Perhaps you really aren't a grown-up yet.
[11:31] Gunma-chan
    Aww, so I'm still a kid?
[11:36] King Daruma
    Let's go play while we're still kids!
[11:40] Gunma-chan+Kofun-sama
    Let's go!
[11:51] Daruma
    Remaining!
[11:59] Gunma-chan
    This is so much fun!
[12:01] King Daruma
    It's a jolly time.
[12:04] Kofun-sama
    This kofun's having fun!
    Kofun fun! Kofun fun!
[12:07] Kofun-sama
    It's a delight, that's right!
[12:09] Gunma-chan+King Daruma
    A dad joke...
[12:12] Kofun-sama
    Dad jokes are a play on words.
[12:14] Kofun-sama
    A very technical one at that!
[12:18] King Daruma
    It's nice to be a kid.
[12:20] King Daruma
    No work... every day's a Sunday.
[12:25] Gunma-chan
    I don't think so.
[12:27] Gunma-chan
    I get told that I have to study
    or clean my room or eat my veggies.
[12:32] Gunma-chan
    It's not that easy.
[12:37] Gunma-chan
    Hey, what's funny?
[12:43] King Daruma
    We'd totally forgotten...
[12:46] Kofun-sama
    About all the troubles
    we had in our childhood...
[12:51] King Daruma
    There were both good
    and bad even as a child.
[12:56] Kofun-sama+Daruma
    We remember now.
[13:00] Gunma-chan
    That's good.
[13:03] Kofun-sama
    Time sure does fly right by...
[13:07] Kofun-sama
    Before you know it,
    you're older than everyone.
[13:10] King Daruma
    And no one comes up to you
    if you're sitting in silence.
[13:14] Gunma-chan
    Cause you're scary.
[13:25] Kofun-sama
    How strange is the flow of time...
[13:28] King Daruma
    Feels like an eternity but is also fleeting...
[13:33] Gunma-chan
    That's so true.
[13:35] Kofun-sama
    I've experienced many things living
    with the Haniwas, and now,
[13:39] Kofun-sama
    I'm happy to have time to sit
    and talk with you, Gunma-chan.
[13:44] King Daruma
    I, too, have lived with my tribe
    and performed my duties as King.
[13:50] King Daruma
    But after meeting Kofun-sama
    and speaking with Gunma-chan,
[13:54] King Daruma
    I feel like my world
    is still vastly expanding.
[14:05] Gunma-chan
    What's funny now?
[14:07] Kofun-sama
    Nothing at all.
[14:09] Kofun-sama
    How silly of me to have thought I knew
[14:13] Kofun-sama
    more than others simply
    because I've lived longer than them.
[14:15] King Daruma
    You helped us to see that, Gunma-chan.
[14:19] Gunma-chan
    Really? I did?
[14:22] Narrator
    There's a theory that claims people experience
    their lives to be the exact same length,
[14:26] Narrator
    whether that's 200 years or one year.
[14:30] Narrator
    Perhaps what's most important is
    the experiences we have in our lives.
[14:34] Kofun-sama
    Today was a wonderful day.
[14:37] King Daruma
    It was perfect to just sit in peace.
[14:40] Gunma-chan
    That's nice.
