[00:03] ---
    When watching "Hayate the Combat Butler",
[00:04] ---
    make sure you keep the room bright
    and sit well away from the TV.
[00:10] ---
    One morning, the boy found
    himself in the Twilight Zone.

[00:16] ---
    What?
[00:17] ---
    WHAT?!
[00:26] ---
    That's...
[00:27] ---
    It can't be!
[00:29] ---
    Panning vertically!
[00:31] ---
    A close-up horizontal pan!
[00:34] ---
    I-It's Isumi!
[00:36] ---
    But what's with her outfit?
[00:41] ---
    Kid, you're digging it, aren't you?
[00:48] ---
    What?! She's getting on
    a bus with no hesitation!
[00:55] ---
    Th-This can't be...
[00:56] ---
    I'm getting on!
[00:56] ---
    Go return the utility pole.
[00:58] ---
    Oh, whoops!
[00:59] ---
    Or Tokyo Electric Power Company
    is going to yell at you.

[01:02] ---
    You're right.
[01:03] ---
    Ta-da!
[01:05] ---
    I'm getting on...
[01:08] ---
    I didn't make it on!
[01:10] ---
    You brought that on yourself.
[01:14] ---
    Isumi...
[01:17] ---
    What the heck is going on here?! Tell me!
[01:20] ---
    You don't come over often, but when you do,
[01:22] ---
    you ask the most nonsensical
    questions, you know that?
[01:24] ---
    But I mean, a blazer!
[01:25] ---
    The answer to that is simple.
[01:27] ---
    You haven't seen Isumi lately, have you?
[01:30] ---
    Oh, well, I've been busy
    with finals and stuff.
[01:34] ---
    What you saw was a hallucination!
[01:37] ---
    A hallu...cination?
[01:39] ---
    It's got to be a hallucination!
[01:41] ---
    Right now, everyone in town
    looks like Isumi to you!
[01:44] ---
    There's no way that's true!
    That was definitely Isumi!
[01:48] ---
    Then how about this?!
[01:50] ---
    She's probably fallen for
    a guy at another school,
[01:52] ---
    so she's sneaking in by
    wearing their uniform.
[01:55] ---
    Who the heck goes to such lengths?
[01:57] ---
    Well, we like in a "Hana-Kimi" sort of world,
[02:00] ---
    where girls disguise themselves as
    guys to get into all-boys' schools
[02:02] ---
    just to see a good-looking guy she adores.
[02:04] ---
    But you're putting on an awfully nuanced
    performance at a time like this.
[02:07] ---
    I guess...
[02:08] ---
    But I had no idea the world
    had progressed that far.
[02:12] ---
    That's right.
[02:12] ---
    Technical High School
[02:13] ---
    Whether there's a school gate there!
[02:15] ---
    No vandalizing!!
[02:15] ---
    Or a wall!
[02:16] ---
    Or nurikabe wall monsters!
[02:18] ---
    Climbing over them all is
    what it means to be a girl!
[02:20] ---
    Could it be...?
[02:22] ---
    Could it be...
[02:23] ---
    ...that Isumi is...
[02:24] ---
    Do Not Climb
[02:24] ---
    ...trying to climb over?!
[02:26] ---
    Up we go.
[02:30] ---
    Pardon me, we could not
    help overhearing that.
[02:33] ---
    No worries.
[02:34] ---
    I wouldn't say it's entirely impossible,
[02:36] ---
    but don't cases like the one you
    outlined tend to be exceptional?
[02:38] ---
    I don't see the need to be
    so hard on a boy in distress.
[02:41] ---
    It's fun to mess with him.
[02:43] ---
    I mean, Isumi in a blazer getting on a bus!
[02:45] ---
    Well, it's too bad it's not a
    sailor suit and a machine gun.
[02:48] ---
    That's way old.
[02:49] ---
    It sounds interesting, so go
    investigate it for me, Hayate.
[02:51] ---
    I'll be counting on you.
[02:52] ---
    Miss, just because it sounds interesting...
[02:55] ---
    Do you know, ladies and gentlemen?
[02:57] ---
    That a humongous mansion like
    this exists somewhere in Tokyo?

[03:02] ---
    The Miss's name is Nagi Sanzenin. And...
[03:06] ---
    Her butler's name is Hayate Ayasaki.
[03:09] ---
    They are both a bit clueless
[03:11] ---
    and both have a bit of the
    wrong idea about each other,

[03:13] ---
    but they share the immensely strong,
    loving bond between servant and mistress.

[03:18] ---
    Isumi's found some guy she
    likes?! Say it isn't so!
[03:21] ---
    Young Sir, what is the matter?
[03:24] ---
    Zettai nante shinjinai!
     I don't believe in absolutes!
[03:26] ---
    Fukanou nante nai!
    No such thing as impossible!
[03:29] ---
    Mirai wa hiraku te no naka ni aru
     The future is in the open palm of my hands
[03:35] ---
    Honne o misecha make datoka
    Stuff like, showing your true feelings means defeat
[03:40] ---
    Dentaku hajiku jinsei datoka
     Or a life tapping away at a calculator
[03:45] ---
    Kokoro o itsuwaru kurai nara
     Rather than be false to myself like that
[03:51] ---
    Shichiten-battou baka-shoujiki mo kuuzen-zetsugo!
    I'll struggle to be uniquely naïve and honest!
[03:57] ---
    Komatta kao o mireba ki-ni-naru shi
     If I see a troubled look, I'll be concerned
[04:02] ---
    Jinsei isogu riyuu mo betsuni nai shi
    And it's not like I've got a reason to hurry through life
[04:07] ---
    Takara no chizu wa kimi ni azukeyou
    I'll entrust you with the treasure map
[04:13] ---
    Juuou-mujin yori-michi datte tsukiau yo!
    I'll even keep you company on your free-ranging detours
[04:18] ---
    Rakkii-sugiru tenkai
    A development that's way too lucky
[04:21] ---
    Kotae wa mayowanai
    I won't hesitate to give my answer
[04:24] ---
    Kantan sa! Subete wa kimi no tame ni
    It's easy! It's all for you
[04:29] ---
    Fuuhyou wa ki-ni-shinai
    I won't worry about the rumors
[04:32] ---
    Rettou-kan ni doujinai!
     I won't let a sense of inferiority get to me!
[04:35] ---
    Kakedasu shunkan wa ima koko ni aru
    The moment to start running is right here, right now

[05:08] ---
    Young Sir, I found "Ryukendo"
    mixed in on the Toei sentai shelf!
[05:12] ---
    Oh, yeah?
[05:14] ---
    I'll put it away.
[05:16] ---
    Go! Goodman
[05:16] ---
    Young Sir, that is the shelf
    for Toho's superhero SFX films.
[05:17] ---
    Toho Superhero SFX
[05:20] ---
    Right...
[05:23] ---
    More Shochiku films other than "The
    X" and "Goke, Body Snatcher"...
[05:27] ---
    Superhero SFX is a genre you know well.
    How could you make a mistake like that?
[05:30] ---
    Did something happen?
[05:31] ---
    Nah, not really.
[05:33] ---
    But when you're so blatantly depressed...
[05:38] ---
    What happened to the Young Sir?!
[05:40] ---
    As his maid, I cannot just let this go!
[05:46] ---
    A-Are you all right?
[05:48] ---
    H-Hayate...
[05:51] ---
    I was afraid he might be like that...
[05:53] ---
    The Miss was feeding his
    fears quite a bit, after all.
[05:58] ---
    So that was the reason.
[05:59] ---
    Huh? Is something wrong?
[06:01] ---
    No, it's just that he won't come
    to me for advice, and yet...
[06:05] ---
    No, it's probably because
[06:06] ---
    it's easier for him to talk
    to Miss Nagi, who is his age,
[06:09] ---
    or some other equally trivial reason.
[06:12] ---
    So, as I suspected, being older is no good.
[06:14] ---
    No, no, no, no!
[06:16] ---
    I am past 20 already, so perhaps it
    means I am past my expiration date.
[06:21] ---
    Th-That is not the issue!
[06:24] ---
    You're still at a luscious age! I
    mean, even if you were married...
[06:27] ---
    Wait. That's...!
[06:28] ---
    Young Sir!
[06:31] ---
    Is it all right to be doing this?
[06:33] ---
    Ta-da!
[06:34] ---
    No, it ain't.
[06:36] ---
    Young Sir!
[06:42] ---
    As I recall...
[06:44] ---
    Okay, pan. Keep panning.
[06:46] ---
    That uniform is...!
[06:48] ---
    Shio
[06:49] ---
    Even if what Nagi said was right...
[06:52] ---
    Darn it! Thinking about it
    isn't going to get me anywhere!

[07:04] ---
    I did not imagine such
    a turn of events, so...
[07:07] ---
    This outfit stands out, doesn't it?
[07:09] ---
    You always stand out...
[07:11] ---
    But under normal circumstances, I
    think he would've noticed us long ago.
[07:16] ---
    Next stop, Shiomi Municipal
    High School Main Gate.

[07:20] ---
    Shiomi?!
[07:21] ---
    I am burning to get off
    at the next stoooooop!!
[07:32] ---
    It has been a long time since I've
    found myself coming to this school...
[07:36] ---
    Isumi's... here...
[07:39] ---
    Damn it! You can't keep Isumi and
    me apart with something like this!
[07:43] ---
    Young Sir...
[07:44] ---
    Isumi must have been wearing their uniform.
[07:48] ---
    Why does he have to go to
    such lengths for Isumi?
[07:51] ---
    But if only I could do something
    for the Young Sir...
[07:55] ---
    Um, if you'd like, shall I tell you
    how to get inside the school grounds?
[08:01] ---
    Is it normal for butlers to
    know things like that, too?
[08:04] ---
    Uh...
[08:06] ---
    Rider Kick!
[08:09] ---
    Darn it! Why won't the gate open?!
[08:11] ---
    Since it's come to this,
    I'll do a vertical suplex...
[08:13] ---
    Young Sir.
[08:14] ---
    Wh-What are you doing here?!
[08:17] ---
    What about you?
[08:20] ---
    That's none of your business, right?
[08:22] ---
    That is part of my business.
[08:25] ---
    I have heard what is going on from Hayate.
[08:28] ---
    Did you think I could just
    leave you to your own devices?!
[08:32] ---
    Y-Yes, ma'am! Please do as you see fit!
[08:37] ---
    Now, get into the school grounds
    through the tear in this fence.
[08:40] ---
    There's no tear.
[08:41] ---
    What?!
[08:43] ---
    This cannot be! According to
    the map Hayate drew for me...
[08:46] ---
    But there isn't.
[08:48] ---
    Goodness! It has been completely repaired!
[08:51] ---
    Wow, Wataru, what are you doing here?
[08:54] ---
    Y-You...?!
[08:55] ---
    Never mind. Could you just let us in?
[08:58] ---
    Okay, sure.
[08:59] ---
    Makariku Maharita! There!
[09:02] ---
    Oh...
[09:03] ---
    I'm always barely on time,
    so don't underestimate me!
[09:06] ---
    Are you bragging?
[09:07] ---
    So, what are you doing here?
[09:09] ---
    Yeah...
[09:10] ---
    There are times when a man
    just has to get going.
[09:14] ---
    Young Sir, you can act
    cool like Captain Okita,
[09:16] ---
    but it is lame when you are
    caught on the chain link fence.
[09:18] ---
    Shut up!
[09:20] ---
    At any rate, might we ask you
    to show us around the school?
[09:23] ---
    Sure, I don't mind, but it's
    a really normal school.
[09:26] ---
    I see...
[09:27] ---
    Wait, whoa!
[09:32] ---
    Wh-Wh-What is th-th-that?
[09:34] ---
    Uh, uh, um...
[09:36] ---
    They're delinquents.
[09:37] ---
    You know, we're a normal high school,
    so we have people like that, too.
[09:41] ---
    What a good boy you are!
[09:43] ---
    Puppies are so awesome! They're
    so soothing for the soul!
[09:51] ---
    What fortune is this?!
[09:51] ---
    Shio
[09:52] ---
    What about that?
[09:53] ---
    No idea...
[09:54] ---
    You've never seen a female gang leader?
[09:55] ---
    You know, because we're a normal high school.
[09:58] ---
    No, no, you don't see those these days.
[09:59] ---
    That's so cool!
[10:03] ---
    Th-That smelled nice.
[10:05] ---
    This is the fragrance of lavender.
[10:07] ---
    You know, because we're a normal high school,
[10:09] ---
    we sometimes get a girl leaping through time.
[10:11] ---
    That's not the anime version.
[10:13] ---
    That is the Tomoyo Harada version.
[10:15] ---
    You should be able to handle the rest, right?
[10:17] ---
    I have to hurry back to the co-op,
    or they'll be sold out. Later!
[10:21] ---
    Having said that, the
    girl cheerfully ran off.

[10:26] ---
    Y-Yes.
[10:27] ---
    My heart is pounding.
[10:31] ---
    Spin, spin.
[10:32] ---
    Oh, dear, oh, dear.
[10:34] ---
    This does not seem... to be the place...
[10:38] ---
    Isumi...
[10:39] ---
    Is Isumi not here?
[10:41] ---
    Here we go!
[10:42] ---
    Y-Yes.
[10:45] ---
    This also does not seem... to be the place.
[10:59] ---
    This also does not seem... Ptewy.
[11:01] ---
    Naturally, this is not a fan service episode
[11:01] ---
    Swimming, swimming, swimming along...
[11:04] ---
    made specially for the Isumi fans.
[11:07] ---
    Isumi is searching for something here.
[11:12] ---
    Where in the world could Isumi be?
[11:15] ---
    Young Sir?
[11:17] ---
    Why are you straining like that?
[11:20] ---
    What?
[11:26] ---
    Why is Isumi dressed like that?!
[11:27] ---
    Young Sir? Whoa, whoa.
[11:29] ---
    Not only that, but at the
    end of her intent gaze is...
[11:39] ---
    Senpai
[11:41] ---
    What's with that guy with the face
    that makes you want to touch it
[11:43] ---
    and "senpai" written on his back?!
[11:46] ---
    I imagine you do not watch
    DVDs along those lines, but...
[11:50] ---
    Wha?!
[11:51] ---
    That is a standard move in youth dramas.
[11:53] ---
    The "Senpai, please wipe your
    sweat with this" attack!
[11:56] ---
    What?!
[11:59] ---
    So this is the move that's
    considered an endangered species
[12:02] ---
    in anime and TV shows,
    and even in girls' manga.
[12:04] ---
    The "Senpai, please wipe
    your sweat with this"!
[12:05] ---
    You fools!
[12:08] ---
    For you young'uns out there,
[12:09] ---
    try asking your Showa
    Era mothers and fathers.

[12:13] ---
    I may not look it, but I am
    still just a bit past 20, so...
[12:17] ---
    The white towel is an essential
    item for a girl in love.
[12:20] ---
    It is a symbol that says,
[12:22] ---
    "I will be there for your sweat
    and tears of youth, senpai."
[12:25] ---
    I am well aware of that.
[12:26] ---
    SHOCK!
[12:28] ---
    Maybe I didn't really know who Isumi was.
[12:32] ---
    That Isumi wanted that blue
    set square sort of season

[12:34] ---
    that the sun could give or withhold...
[12:36] ---
    That she was looking for
    that experience of youth...

[12:39] ---
    It's true, the ardent passion of
    youth isn't flowing in my veins.
[12:43] ---
    Flowing in me is the murky blood of an otaku!
[12:45] ---
    Will the Heavens forsake me?!
[12:50] ---
    The sun... is blinding!
[12:52] ---
    Young Sir, the sun is that way.
[12:54] ---
    Right, right.
[12:55] ---
    The sun...
[12:57] ---
    Ruru-ruru-ru ru-ta-wa. What is it in reverse?
    (Ruru-ruru-ru ru-ta-wa. Hantai kara yomu to?)
[13:02] ---
    Tonto-ton-ton, favorite part? Roasted jowl butt.
    (Toto-ton-ton, suki na bui wa? Tontoro rousu.)
[13:05] ---
    This place brings back memories.
[13:06] ---
    But I feel shy about seeing
    my old friends again.
[13:09] ---
    I need to be careful, so no one spots me.
[13:12] ---
    Hayate!
[13:13] ---
    It's only been 7 seconds and 3 frames!
[13:16] ---
    Miss Nishizawa... Looks like you found me.
[13:20] ---
    Why is Hayate here? Could it be
    that maybe he's come to see me?

[13:25] ---
    Since it's come to this, it
    might be faster just to ask her.

[13:32] ---
    Um...
[13:32] ---
    Um...
[13:34] ---
    Has anything strange happened today...
[13:34] ---
    Want some bread? It's half-eaten, but...
[13:36] ---
    What?
[13:36] ---
    What?
[13:37] ---
    No, it's nothing.
[13:40] ---
    Oh, really! What am I saying
    at a time like this?!

[13:44] ---
    Um...
[13:45] ---
    Y-Yes?
[13:46] ---
    Oh! I saw you!
[13:48] ---
    No, I mean, other than me.
[13:51] ---
    Not much else has happened.
[13:52] ---
    We're a normal high school here,
[13:54] ---
    so there aren't any celebrities
    or IT industry CEOs here.
[13:56] ---
    That's true.
[13:58] ---
    Pardon me for interrupting your meal!
[14:00] ---
    Oh, wait a minute!
[14:02] ---
    If it's like the Seven Mysteries of
    Shiomi High School, I could tell you.
[14:04] ---
    Huh?
[14:06] ---
    Ever since the manager of a certain
    club suddenly passed away,
[14:11] ---
    all kinds of strange things have
    been happening after school.
[14:19] ---
    Because of that, no one
    wants to stay after school,
[14:22] ---
    and all the managers quit.
[14:25] ---
    Everyone says it's the
    dead manager's curse now.
[14:28] ---
    I feel like those are all horror
    stories I've heard somewhere before.
[14:32] ---
    Well, it's just a rumor, though.
[14:35] ---
    Could it be...
[14:36] ---
    ...that Isumi was asked to banish
    a spirit in relation to this?

[14:42] ---
    Thank you very much!
[14:43] ---
    See you around!
[14:44] ---
    See you!
[14:48] ---
    What the heck? So Hayate
    wasn't here to see me...

[14:54] ---
    This yakisoba sandwich is making me tear up!
[15:11] ---
    Young Sir...
[15:13] ---
    It's true, I don't have impressive pecs...
[15:16] ---
    And sweat and tears aren't for me!
[15:20] ---
    Young Sir!
[15:33] ---
    So... this was the place...
[15:41] ---
    No one... Not anyone else...
[15:44] ---
    No one will be allowed to
    wipe my senpai's sweat!
[15:50] ---
    Um...
[15:51] ---
    Go ahead.
[15:53] ---
    You can use my body.
[15:55] ---
    What?
[15:56] ---
    Y-You can see me?
[15:58] ---
    Yes, you could say that.
[15:59] ---
    A hit! There's a hit!
[16:02] ---
    All that aside, what did you
    mean? Go ahead with what?
[16:05] ---
    You may use my body as a medium
    to make your wish come true.
[16:10] ---
    What? C-Can I really?
[16:14] ---
    Yes.
[16:21] ---
    So I'm a loser!
[16:21] ---
    Loser
[16:24] ---
    Young Sir!
[16:26] ---
    What?!
[16:27] ---
    I don't care anymore!
[16:29] ---
    It's just too blindingly brilliant!
[16:30] ---
    I don't have a chance in...
[16:35] ---
    You hit me! I've never
    even been hit by my dad!
[16:38] ---
    Please do not say that line!
[16:40] ---
    Because this is not a
    parody! This is your life!
[16:44] ---
    Young Sir, are you really fine with this?
[16:47] ---
    You even said it yourself earlier, remember?
[16:49] ---
    That there are times when a
    man just has to get going.
[16:52] ---
    There are times when a man
    has to face things head-on,
[16:55] ---
    no matter how great an
    obstacle stands in your way.
[17:03] ---
    I understand.
[17:05] ---
    Young Sir!
[17:05] ---
    But how am I supposed to
    face that great obstacle?
[17:09] ---
    I may not look it, but I have more
    life experience than you, so...
[17:13] ---
    Once upon a time, when it
    came to a man-to-man fight...
[17:15] ---
    Soul
[17:16] ---
    ...it was always a baseball match,
    putting heart and soul into one pitch!
[17:20] ---
    Hitting and hitting, and
    pitching and pitching!

[17:24] ---
    Truly, fair and square!
    No regrets in your youth!
[17:27] ---
    All right, I understand.
[17:30] ---
    Saki
[17:32] ---
    Thank you.
[17:37] ---
    Someday, the Young Sir may sprout wings...
[17:40] ---
    And maybe leap out of a window...
[17:42] ---
    And because I'm kind of sort of the
    Bible that teaches him about freedom,
[17:47] ---
    so it's fine. This is how it should be.
[17:50] ---
    Even she doesn't really
    know what she's saying,

[17:53] ---
    so even if there were a song that
    had similar-sounding lyrics,

[17:55] ---
    it would merely be a coincidence.
    Ah, a thesis, a thesis.

[17:58] ---
    Saki, where did Wataru go?
[18:00] ---
    The Young Sir...
[18:02] ---
    ...has gone to fight a man's battle!
[18:04] ---
    Huh?
[18:06] ---
    Senpai.
[18:13] ---
    Here you are.
[18:14] ---
    Hold it right there!
[18:18] ---
    Who are you?
[18:19] ---
    Yeah! What do you want?!
[18:21] ---
    Soul
[18:21] ---
    A baseball match!
[18:23] ---
    Putting heart and soul into
    one pitch for her white towel.
[18:25] ---
    I request that you engage me
    in an earnest duel between men.
[18:28] ---
    The winner will get his sweat wiped
    by the manager with her white towel!
[18:32] ---
    Hey, you can't just do that!
[18:33] ---
    Interesting. I accept!
[18:49] ---
    Young Sir...
[18:51] ---
    Watch me, Isumi!
[18:53] ---
    I'm going to put everything I've experienced
    in my life thus far into this one pitch!
[18:59] ---
    How dare he get all fired up on his own?
[19:12] ---
    Reach for me! My...!
[19:16] ---
    Young Sir!
[19:21] ---
    My...!
[19:34] ---
    I'm completely burnt out.
[19:41] ---
    Young Sir!
[19:42] ---
    Saki, I've been defeated...
    and I have no regrets.
[19:47] ---
    Yes, sir.
[19:48] ---
    I worked up a good sweat.
[19:50] ---
    Here you are.
[19:53] ---
    Thank you.
[19:59] ---
    Now, you have no more
    regrets holding you back.
[20:07] ---
    Isumi!
[20:09] ---
    That must have been tough for you.
[20:11] ---
    A job well done.
[20:13] ---
    I will escort you back to your residence.
[20:15] ---
    I-I appreciate it, but...
[20:21] ---
    I-Isumi, I... I mean, I myself...
[20:26] ---
    Wataru, you helped me, didn't you?
[20:31] ---
    Thank you for letting him
    work up a good sweat.
[20:37] ---
    I guess...
[20:39] ---
    ...Isumi appreciated what I did.
[20:42] ---
    I don't quite understand,
[20:43] ---
    but it seems to have gone well.
[20:50] ---
    So in the end, it looks like I
    was making a fuss over nothing...
[20:54] ---
    Lame, huh?
[20:57] ---
    You were a fine young man today, Young Sir.
[21:00] ---
    What? Really?
[21:01] ---
    Yes. You were cooler than
    I have ever seen you.
[21:06] ---
    I see.
[21:09] ---
    Let's go home.
[21:11] ---
    We left the shop unattended.
[21:15] ---
    Yes, Young Sir.
[21:20] ---
    What the heck?
[21:21] ---
    So Isumi was just working
    part-time as a manager?
[21:24] ---
    Yes, apparently so.
[21:26] ---
    After all, I can't tell her
    that Isumi was working...

[21:30] ---
    ...to banish the spirit of a dead manager.
[21:31] ---
    They say that reality is
    stranger than fiction,
[21:34] ---
    but nothing that strange ever happens.
[21:37] ---
    True.
[21:38] ---
    This doesn't leave anything
    for Tamori to comment on.
[21:41] ---
    Indeed, I agree, Miss Nagi.
[21:44] ---
    No, no, what happened was
    actually plenty strange.

[21:48] ---
    Next time, it looks like a rival
    will be appearing for Hayate.

SIGN    Butler Report
[23:29] ---
    Morning, it's Izumi Segawa.
[23:31] ---
    I'm Risa Asakaze.
[23:32] ---
    Explosion! I'm Miki Hanabishi.
[23:34] ---
    Today will be the last of the
    Student Council Girl Trio specials.
[23:36] ---
    These 3 weeks have flown by.
[23:38] ---
    But no matter how many times I listen to
    this song, I still think it's a masterpiece.
[23:40] ---
    Yes, a masterpiece!
[23:40] ---
    It could even be featured on
    that New Year's music show!
[23:42] ---
    It might even be as good
    as our national anthem!
[23:43] ---
    No, it should be turned
    into the show's theme song!
[23:46] ---
    Okay, time for the fan service shot.
[23:47] ---
    Actually, if you paste the 3 fan service
    shots together, you get one single picture.
[23:51] ---
    That's amazing!
[23:51] ---
    Which means we have no choice but to
    use it to create original merchandise!
[23:54] ---
    Adios, amigo!

    No, no, that's not it.
[24:03] ---
    It means you can take a break
