In the beginning, God created
the heavens and the earth.
[00:10] Nar
He followed them
[00:15] Nar
with light, waters, and the land.
[00:20] Nar
Then he created the many animals
that would inhabit it.
[00:26] Nar
Or... that was the plan.
[00:28] Nar
It got too tedious, so he outsourced it.

[02:30] Miz
How did you like my snake fist?
[02:33] Kmi
When did you even learn that?
[02:35] Kmi
But I've got something up my sleeve, too!
[02:38] Miz
What?!
[02:39] Kim
Hidden Technique: Bone Hug!
[02:43] Miz
That's dangerous! What's with those bones?!
[02:47] Kim
They're ribs!
[02:49] Shi
What are they doing?
[02:51] Mei
No idea.
[02:53] Hig
Yeah, that's a nope.
[02:56] Hig
It's impossible to make bones
grow that fast on Earth.
[03:00] Kim
Aw, man, and I just got the
order for "bones as weapons."
[03:03] Kim
I guess this won't do. Oh, well,
this hurts like heck, anyway.
[03:07] Shi
Why is Jupiter-san modifying himself?
[03:09] Miz
He was saying that it's easier to
make something if he's felt it,
[03:13] Miz
but I think he just wants to play around.
[03:15] Kim
If rapid growth is impossible,
how about having folded ones unfurl?
[03:19] Hig
Could work.
[03:21] Mei
But you'd get hurt every
time the bones come out.
[03:23] Mei
If you're wounded often, I think
you'd wind up dead, even if you didn't fight.
[03:28] Hig
I suppose it could work as an
"emergency sacrificial defense"
[03:31] Hig
for amphibian species that
can regenerate skin quickly.
[03:34] Kim
I see! I'll jot that down.
[03:38] Shi
Are you all right?
[03:40] Kim
Yes, probably.
[03:42] Hig
I know you want them to
shoot out like before...
[03:45] Kim
This is what would be ideal.
[03:48] Hig
But if you actually did that,
the exit wounds would be too big,
SIGN Just a little bit
[03:53] Hig
so you can only extend them a little bit.
SIGN Just a little bit
[03:55] Kim
These aren't what I envisioned.
[03:57] Shi
They're not very impressive,
and they seem painful.
[04:00] Miz
Having a weapon snikt out from
your body is indeed awesome.
[04:03] Hig
Yup, yup.
[04:05] Kim
If storing them won't work,
I at least want them to be flashy!
[04:08] Kim
Got it! Let's put the
bones outside the body!
[04:11] Kim
I've put the spine and the
ribs outside! How about that?
[04:17] Hig
Wait, wait! How are you moving those arms?!
[04:22] Shi
What's the issue?
[04:23] Hig
He's not a snake! The shoulder
blades behind his ribs are missing.
[04:28] Hig
And his arms are supposed
to be attached to those!
[04:31] Kim
I've flipped the position of the bones.
[04:34] Kim
I went all-out and put the shoulder
blades inside. Can you see?
SIGN Shoulder Blade
SIGN Rib
[04:38] Miz
You can move your arms...
so is this arrangement okay?
[04:41] Mei
What does Mars-san think?
[04:43] Shi
She doesn't seem satisfied,
but she's not saying no.
[04:47] Shi
Maybe this is viable?
[04:49] Kim
So that means this direction is okay!
[04:52] Miz
You should check the durability, too.
[04:54] Mie
I brought a lion.
[04:58] Mie
All right, go get those bones!
[05:01] Kim
Why did you start with an end boss?!
[05:07] Miz
He's eating them like
they're bone crackers.
[05:09] Kim
Man, he snapped a bunch
off right at the base.
[05:15] Mei
The part where they join up is the weakest.
[05:18] Shi
I-Is he okay?
[05:21] Kim
You can't use them as
weapons if they've been eaten.
[05:23] Kim
Mars-san, is there a way to
make the joints stronger?
[05:27] Hig
Let's see.
[05:28] Hig
If you're fine with the bones not moving,
SIGN Bone
SIGN Joint
SIGN Bone
[05:31] Hig
you could offset and double them up.
SIGN Double Them Up
SIGN Offset Them
[05:35] Shi
Oh, that's brittle.
[05:38] Shi
So tough!
[05:39] Shi
I see!
[05:41] Hig
But there's a different downside.
[05:43] Kim
Let's implement that right away!
SIGN Doubled-Up Bones
[05:46] Kim
Bring it on!
[05:51] Miz
His teeth are no match for
the reinforced bones!
[05:55] Mei
But won't that...
[05:58] Shi
Is that our usual trope again?!
[06:02] Hig
I knew it.
[06:05] Hig
Difficulty breathing.
[06:06] Shi
Difficulty breathing?
[06:07] Shi
It's not osteoporosis this time?
[06:09] Hig
It's hard to breathe without ribs.
SIGN Inhale
[06:13] Hig
When you breathe, your chest
moves up and down, right?
SIGN Exhale
SIGN Inhale
SIGN Exhale
[06:16] Hig
That's proof that your ribs are moving.

[06:22] Shi
I see. They're like bellows.
[06:25] Kim
Someone... help...
[06:27] Miz
Pluto-chan, didn't you make an animal
that can breathe without ribs?
[06:32] Mei
You mean the frog!
[06:34] Shi
Frogs don't have ribs?!
[06:36] Mei
When I made the leg bones tougher
to withstand big jumps,
[06:40] Shi
the ribs got in the way, so I removed them!
[06:42] Shi
Then how do they breathe?
[06:44] Mei
With determination!
SIGN Bam
[06:46] Shi
Determination?
[06:47] Mei
It's just using determination
and its throat to breathe.
[06:49] Shi
So that state means it's
super-full of determination.
[06:53] Miz
You hear that, Jupiter?
Just use your determination.
[06:57] Hig
He's been breathing hard this whole time,
but he's still oxygen deprived.
[07:00] Mei
If you breathe without ribs and just
your throat, you get less oxygen,
[07:05] Mei
so frogs use cutaneous
respiration in addition.
[07:08] Miz
Want to turn into an amphibian
and make your skin slimy?
[07:12] Kmi
That's not what I envisioned.
[07:14] Mei
What about not using the
ribs to move the lungs?
[07:17] Kim
That's it!
SIGN Exhale
[07:19] Kim
How about using the shoulder blades
I moved inside to move the lungs?
SIGN Inhale
SIGN Exhale
SIGN Inhale
SIGN Exhale
SIGN Exhale
[07:23] Hig
That should be possible.

around every time you breathe, though.
SIGN Inhale

[07:29] Kim
Applying that allowed me to breathe.
[07:32] Shi
Then why are you crawling like that?
[07:34] Kim
Well, it's really hard to move.
[07:37] Hig
Of course, fast animals
[07:39] Hig
bend their spines to attain a longer stride.
[07:43] Shi
Having an immobile back is
a bigger issue than I thought.
[07:46] Miz
But the organs are protected,
so it's fine, isn't it?
[07:49] Kim
All right, I'll make the ribs even longer!
[07:53] Shi
Oh, no, Jupiter-san! Is this...
[07:57] Hig
Yup, osteoporosis.
[07:59] Shi
I thought so.
[08:01] Miz
You need to reduce your calcium usage.
[08:03] Kim
I don't want to! The ribs are so cool now!
[08:08] Kim
I'd rather save somewhere else.
[08:10] Kim
Oh, yeah, the teeth!
They're veritable chunks of calcium!
[08:14] Kim
Let's lose the teeth and redistribute
that calcium to the ribs.
[08:17] Hig
How will you eat?
[08:19] Miz
How about Venus's bird system?
Grind it up in your stomach.
[08:23] Mei
Sounds good. Bird beaks are hardened skin,
so you barely need any calcium.
[08:28] Kim
Okay, let's go with that.
[08:30] Mei
I have a foundation now,
so I just need to sketch this.
[08:33] Mei
Aw, my hand moves when I breathe.
I can't draw like this.
[08:37] Miz
Just go back to normal!
[08:38] Kim
Oh, right.
[08:41] Kim
A beak instead of teeth!
[08:43] Kim
Reroute the extra calcium to the bones!
[08:45] Kim
Move the spine and ribs outside the body!
[08:49] Kim
Reinforce the bones by doubling them up!
[08:51] Kim
It'll be hard to move and get food,
[08:53] Kim
but we'll compensate for that
with an energy-saving body!
[08:55] Kim
Swap the position of the ribs
and the shoulder blades,
[08:58] Kim
and have the shoulder blades aid breathing!
SIGN Turtle

[09:08] Miz
So its shell is made from ribs?
[09:11] Hig
But isn't the head exposed?
[09:13] Mei
The shell's pointless if the head gets eaten.
[09:15] Kim
I'll think about that now. Any good ideas?
[09:18] Mei
Turn the neck and stow the head away!
[09:20] Kim
I like that!
[09:22] Shi
God has spoken!

[09:39] Hig
Then how about adding hinges to the
belly that make it completely shut?

[09:53] Shi

[09:55] Kim
The client said that,
while the turtle's fine,
[09:57] Kim
after some thought, it became clear
[09:59] Kim
that the bones aren't much like weapons.
[10:02] Kim
So then this plain guy I was
sketching got accepted.

This is the newt that fights by
poking its ribs out of the body!
[10:16] Kim
See, the ribs open up like this,
and go through the skin.
[10:21] Hig
The bones having a pointy tip is good design.
[10:24] Hig
It makes it easier for them to pierce the skin.
[10:26] Hig
But does this actually
have any defensive merit?
[10:30] Kim
What you didn't know is that
they are also poisonous!
[10:34] Kim
After they create a wound
with their bone spikes,
[10:36] Kim
applying that poison works really well!
[10:39] Kim
An' it hoits when y'try to eat 'em...
[10:42] Kim
Ow, ow, ow...
[10:43] Hig
Jupiter-san, you totally tried
to eat that newt, didn't you?
[10:55] Shi
Huh? Huh?

What's wrong, Shimoda-kun?
[11:01] Una
It's dangerous to stand
in the door like that.
[11:04] Shi
I'm sorry! I just came here to see
how the project is progressing,
[11:07] Shi
but nobody is here.
[11:09] Shi
How is that "courting that
causes a throb" request going?
[11:12] Tsu
I think everybody is busy
behind those doors.
[11:15] Ued
I'm excited.
[11:16] Una
Tugging on the heart strings is
my forte, so I'm basically done.
[11:20] Shi
Is that yours?
[11:23] Shi
Just its looks alone are adorable!
[11:27] Tsu
But the others aren't coming out.
Maybe they're stuck?
[11:31] Una
Shimoda-kun, if you're
going to make the rounds,
[11:33] Una
I can come with you, if you want.
[11:34] Shi
Thank you, Neptune-san. That'll be helpful!

[12:15] Shi
She's enjoying singing that weird song.
[12:18] Kan
A...ny...way!
[12:21] Kan
Anyway, it's not free!
[12:22] Kan

such beauty, my ability is superior!

[12:57] Kan
What is it? Can't you see I'm
working so hard on courtship here?
[13:01] Shi
Uh, well, I just wanted to confirm that
this is indeed your work in progress
[13:04] Shi
for the "courting that
causes a throb" request.
[13:06] Kan
Didn't that cause a heart to throb?!
[13:08] Kan
When birdies' feathers are beautiful,
they're saying they're healthy.
[13:11] Kan
When they sing well,
they're saying they're smart.
[13:13] Kan
Their sweet chirp-chirp lyrics
all basically mean this.
[13:16] Shi
I... I see. The only lyric I didn't quite
get was the "elongating flesh" one?
[13:21] Kan
That's about the birdies that grow
flesh to transform for love.

[13:37] Una
Uh, well, it was really wonderful, but...
[13:40] Ven
But?
[13:41] Una
When it's just you, Ven-chan,
there's no frame of reference
[13:44] Una
for me to tell whether you're
better or worse than any other?
[13:49] Kna
Of course! How could I be so blind?
[13:54] Kna
Shimoda-kun, dance with me!
[13:56] Kna

Here we go.

[14:06] Kan
And now? I'm better, right?!
[14:09] Una
Y-Yes.
[14:11] Una
Intense courting is more
embarrassing than adorable.
[14:16] Kan
That's it!
[14:17] Kan
I'll make my bad student come with
me to show off how good I am.
[14:21] Kan
That's a foolproof courting method.
[14:23] Shi
So as your bad student, I'm just
there to make you look better?
[14:27] Kan
For now!
[14:29] Kan
But the days you spend dancing with me
will surely pay off at some point.
[14:33] Kan
Shimoda-kun, I want you
to surpass me one day.
[14:39] Kan
And then, if I take on a student...
[14:43] Kan
You are the one to shine next!
[14:46] Una
I see! This is the love
between teacher and student.
[14:49] Una
That's a nice story.
[14:51] Una
That really did get to my heart.

Let's go and talk to who's next.
[15:20] Una
Huh?
[15:21] Shi
It sounds like someone's having a fight.
[15:24] Shi
Is that Pluto-san, Mercury-san,
and Jupiter-san?
[15:28] Una
Wait, are the two of them
fighting over Pluto-chan?!
[15:31] Shi
Oh, no!
[15:33] Shi
Actually, no! It's not a fight,
more of a... duel?

Yo! Should we start this,
and exit the friend zone?
[15:38] Miz
Yo! Should we settle this,
the principles of our hormones?
[15:41] Kim
Survival of the fittest is what I represent!
[15:43] Miz
Sadly for you, it's my vocation to present.
[15:45] Shi
It's a rap battle!
[15:47] Shi
They're trying to judge who's the
best with a flurry of rhymes!
[15:50] Una
You seem oddly familiar
with this sort of thing, Shimoda-kun.
[15:53] Kim
Strength is appetite, gluttony emotion,
[15:55] Kim
always with a smile, ready to dig in!
[15:57] Miz
My strength is innovation,

step to me, I'll make you feast on poison.
[16:01] Miz
I'm the only one, that's my style.
[16:03] Kim
You're the lonely one,
just a jeering smile.
[16:05] Miz
This has no end.
[16:06] Kim
But we must defend!

Who will win? That girl
decides who gets in!
[16:09] Miz

You there, do some beatboxing!
[16:14] Una
What's "beatboxing"?
[16:21] Miz
I am noble, you are trouble!
[16:22] Kim
You are cynical, but I am lyrical!
[16:25] Miz
Always hungry, what's your issue?
[16:27] Kim
Always forcin' it, you're stuck in glue.
[16:29] Both
I'll be the one accepted, you're at a dead end!
[16:32] Miz
Neptune-san, be the judge please.
[16:35] Una
I can't! I don't know what's
good or bad in rapping.
[16:38] Una
Besides, isn't that what
Pluto-chan is here for?
[16:41] Mei
I'm sorry, the waterfall was too
loud for me to hear anything.
[16:47] Shi
Does that mean MC Mercury and
MC Jupiter's efforts were in vain?!
[16:52] Miz
No, not in vain. There's something
we can learn from this!
[16:56] Kim
We were trying to see if Pluto-chan's
heart would react if we sang her
[16:59] Kim
a love song in the same
environment as frogs do.
[17:02] Shi
Frogs? Oh, that's why we're by the water.
[17:06] Kim
No matter how hard you try,
if she can't hear, she can't hear!
[17:09] Miz
Neptune-san's "I don't get it"
was also helpful.
[17:13] Kim
No matter how sick our rhymes are,
[17:15] Kim
if the listener doesn't understand,
what's the point?
[17:17] Una
I'm s-sorry...
[17:19] Shi
So why is it rap for frogs?
[17:22] Mei
Frog songs are closer to a rap battle
than a singing contest.

to be struck by love as a female frog,
[17:35] Mei
so I asked these two for help.
[17:37] Shi
That means a rice paddy in the summer
as the stage for a freestyle rap battle!
[17:41] Miz
If we can't settle this by singing,
we'll have to resort to physical combat.
[17:46] Kim
The stronger one will be chosen!
[17:49] Both
Bring it on!
[17:52] Una
They don't have to really fight.

You need to show off your power
to make her heart respond!

I'll show you, Mercury!

Jeez, that'll happen when you get so rowdy.

[19:30] Una
Yes, I am glad I was able to help.
[19:34] Una
Right, about your courting methods...
[19:40] Una
As a show of love, I do want you
to battle to show off your vigor,
[19:44] Una
but you saw that it's dangerous
to fight for real, right?
[19:48] Una
What should we do?
[19:49] Una
Since you guys dive in the ocean,
how about a lung capacity battle?
[19:54] Una
But I did like Ven-chan's transformation.
[19:58] Una
Lung capacity and transformation...
[20:01] Una
Maybe I'll try making them
inflate when they breathe in?
[20:04] Shi
Sounds good! Would they be like balloons?
[20:07] Una
Hm, they have ribs around their lungs,
so they can't inflate their entire body.
[20:15] Una
What is that?!
[20:17] Shi
Something got inflated there.
[20:19] Una
What? Where? What is that?
[20:22] Shi
Could that be its nose?
[20:29] Shi
He also inflated it!
[20:34] Shi
What did he inflate now?!
[20:37] Una
Uh, that should be...
[20:40] Shi
The one who shot out that
red nose lantern won!
[20:45] Una
The red lantern is the wall of the membrane
[20:47] Una
that separates the left and right
sides of the nose.
[20:50] Shi
Th-That's what that is?
[20:53] Una
I did write that their body inflates,
but I never imagined it would be that part.
[20:57] Shi
That definitely made something throb...
[20:59] Shi
Yeah, just hearing that made
me feel a throb... in my nose.
[21:03] Shi
God has spoken!
[21:05] God
Accepted!

Wait, that kind of throb is fine?

The Illustrated Guide to Creatures
That Really Exist!
[21:18] Shi
They're so cute! From here they
look like a normal seal family.
[21:22] Kim
They are the fastest mammal to wean their young.
[21:25] Kim
Seals breastfeed for a whopping four days!
[21:27] Shi
So short!
[21:28] Kim
The males look normal at first glance, too,
[21:30] Kim
but when they want to appear stronger,
they do this!
[21:33] Shi
It's black!
[21:34] Shi
What part of the nose is inflating
to become this black balloon?
[21:39] Kim
That's the skin above the nose.
[21:41] Kim
They battle with its size and
the sound of inflating it.
[21:43] Kim
If the opponent doesn't back
down with this... they do this!
[21:47] Shi
It's red! Doesn't that hurt?
[21:50] Kim
It doesn't hurt! "This redness
is my determination."
[21:54] Kim
"Do you have what it takes to do this?"
[21:57] Kim
"If you can't, I'll let
you off easy. Get out of here."
[22:00] Kim
All that is what it means!
[22:02] Shi
Where does that red balloon come from?
[22:05] Shi
Oh, it's from the nostril, right?
[22:07] Kim
Yeah, because that's a nasal membrane.
[22:10] Shi
By the way, where is your voice coming from?
