[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. SIGN    Heaven's Design Team [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. SIGN    Inhale SIGN    Exhale [06:18] Hig     The lungs move as they are pulled     by the ribs and the diaphragm. SIGN    Inhale SIGN    Exhale SIGN    Diaphragm SIGN    Diaphragm SIGN    Inhale SIGN    Diaphragm SIGN    Exhale [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. SIGN    Inhale SIGN    Inhale SIGN    Exhale [07:24] Hig     I think it'll make your arms move     around every time you breathe, though. SIGN    Inhale SIGN    Exhale SIGN    Inhale SIGN    Exhale [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 [09:00] Kim     It's done! An animal with amazing ribs! [09:03] Shi     God has spoken! [09:05] God     Accepted! SIGN    Accepted [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! SIGN    Chelidae [09:23] God     Accepted! SIGN    Accepted [09:25] Miz     What about one where it folds     up and retracts the head? [09:27] Kim     I like that, too. [09:28] Shi     God has spoken! SIGN    Chinese      Pond Turtle [09:30] God     Accepted! SIGN    Accepted [09:32] Kim     It's not quite hidden, though.     The soft parts are still visible. [09:36] Hig     You want it to fully hide? [09:38] Kim     If possible. [09:39] Hig     Then how about adding hinges to the     belly that make it completely shut? SIGN    Hinge SIGN    Hinge [09:44] Shi     G-God has spoken! [09:46] God     Accepted! SIGN    Asian Box Turtle SIGN    Accepted [09:48] Kim     Yay, an acceptance frenzy! SIGN    A Few Days Later... [09:53] Shi     Jupiter-san, what's that? [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. SIGN    Iberian      Ribbed Newt SIGN    Accepted [10:05] Shi     Th-That's good for you. SIGN    The Illustrated Guide to Creatures That Really Exist [10:09] Ken     The Illustrated Guide to Creatures     That Really Exist! [10:13] Kim     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? [10:59] Una     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! [11:39] Shi     Let's start with this door. [11:44] Shi     Excuse me— [11:46] Kan     Lu la la... [11:48] Kan     Extending feathers... [11:50] Kan     Elongating flesh...

[12:03] Kan     I am pretty! [12:05] Kan     My beauty... [12:06] Kan     It's a skill. [12:09] Kan     It's hard to stay pretty. [12:11] Kan     Yes, so hard to stay pretty! [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     Not free! [12:24] Shi     She transformed! [12:25] Kan     Since I can afford to maintain     such beauty, my ability is superior! [12:34] Kan     Lu la la... [12:36] Kan     I am pretty! [12:41] Kan     I am... [12:42] Una     Huh? Pretty? [12:45] Kan     Lu la la... [12:46] Kan     I am pretty! [12:51] Una     You are pretty... [12:55] Shi     M-May I have a word? [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. SIGN    Temminck's     Tragopan [13:26] Kan     You know how roosters have flesh that     hangs from their chin, called a wattle? [13:31] Kan     That part can get elongated. SIGN    Love Mode SIGN    Wattle [13:33] Shi     I see. [13:34] Kan     How was that? That made your     heart skip a beat, right? [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     Copy my moves! [14:01] Kna     Here we go. [14:02] Kna     Lu la la... [14:03] Shi     Lu la la... [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. [14:53] Kan     It's done! A bird that forms a     dance team with its bad student! [14:58] Shi     God has spoken! [14:59] God     Accepted! Bravo! SIGN    Long-Tailed      Manakin SIGN    Accepted [15:03] Shi     We also got Neptune-san's heart to throb! [15:05] Kan     I did it! I'm the first one done! [15:08] Una     Were we able to help? [15:11] Shi     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? [15:36] Kim     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, [15:58] Miz     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! [16:07] Both     Who will win? That girl     decides who gets in! [16:09] Miz     Interlude... [16:11] Kim     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. SIGN    Not Popular SIGN    Popular [17:26] Mei     The frogs' ribbit battle is about who     can make these low sounds faster. [17:32] Mei     I wanted to see what it feels like     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. [17:55] Miz     You need to show off your power     to make her heart respond! [18:00] Kim     I'll show you, Mercury! [18:12] Shi     Watch out! [18:26] Una     Jeez, that'll happen when you get so rowdy. [18:28] Una     Is anybody hurt? [18:30] Kim     Neptune-san? [18:32] Miz     Did he protect us? [18:34] Kim     He's so kind...

[18:51] Mei     A gentle battle where you can     see strength without fighting. [18:54] Mei     By comparing your muscles! [18:57] Mei     It's not a verbal or physical fight, [18:59] Mei     it's a battle where you just     show off your leg muscles. [19:02] Mei     A frog that touches your heart with his     peaceful but macho way of courting! [19:05] Mei     What do you think? [19:07] Shi     God has spoken! [19:09] God     Accepted! SIGN    Accepted SIGN    Staurois [19:12] Mei     Thank you, Neptune-san! [19:14] Mei     See you, Shimoda-kun! [19:17] Miz     It's fun to do the simulation yourself. [19:20] Kim     I like how easy it is to understand. [19:26] Shi     It looks like your approach was accepted.      Well, for the frog, I mean. [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!
