[00:05] ---
Who would do something like this?
[00:07] ---
From what I heard, Teppei kicked it over,
[00:10] ---
then relieved himself
on the torii shrine gate...
[00:13] ---
The gall of that man!
[00:15] ---
You know what everyone's saying
about this year's curse, right...?
[00:20] ---
Yeah.
[00:21] ---
It'll hit the Hojos, no doubt about it.
[00:25] ---
"Friday, June 17th, 1983"
[00:36] ---
Keiichi-kun!
[00:38] ---
Quite the crowd you've got here.
[00:40] ---
Tomitake-san! Takano-san!
[00:42] ---
Hi there. I can't believe so many
have come out. Great job.
[00:49] ---
Why are you two here?
[00:51] ---
Maebara-kun here told us
everything last night.
[00:59] ---
Sorry to keep you waiting.
[01:00] ---
"Rescue Satoko Hojo!!"
[01:01] ---
"CWS, Act Immediately!"
[01:03] ---
"Protect Her Now!"
You know, I really hate
how cheesy you are, Coach,
[01:07] ---
but I'll admit, this is changing my mind.
[01:09] ---
"Save Her ASAP!"
Wearing the same stuff helps
to bolster that sense of solidarity.
[01:11] ---
Wearing the same stuff helps
to bolster that sense of solidarity.
[01:13] ---
Feels just like the dam war did.
[01:16] ---
Here you go, Rika-chan.
[01:18] ---
Thanks.
[01:20] ---
I'll do everything I can to help Satoko-chan.
[01:25] ---
Coach...
[01:26] ---
All right, let's go!
[01:29] ---
What can we help you with today?
[01:31] ---
The same thing as yesterday!
[01:32] ---
We're here to demand immediate action
be taken on Satoko Hojo's case!
[01:37] ---
Unfortunately, all of our
meeting rooms are in use today.
[01:40] ---
What?
[01:41] ---
The center director is
willing to meet with you,
[01:44] ---
but only three people will be able
to fit in the small meeting space.
[01:48] ---
That's totally unaccepta--
[01:50] ---
I think that's fine.
[01:53] ---
"Child Welfare Services Center"
[02:01] ---
How'd it go, Kei-chan?
[02:02] ---
Felt like a repeat of yesterday.
[02:05] ---
So they're just gonna keep "monitoring" her?
[02:08] ---
Yes, and they'll make a decision
in a month's time.
[02:12] ---
A month?! Who knows how much permanent
damage Satoko will suffer in a month!
[02:17] ---
At the very least, they did seem
to take us seriously...
[02:21] ---
We told everyone we'd be back at this tomorrow,
[02:24] ---
but we might lose a few people.
[02:27] ---
This is so frustrating.
[02:29] ---
Even if nobody shows,
I'm not going to back down!
[02:33] ---
Neither will I.
[02:35] ---
If we don't work together,
we can't make miracles happen.
[02:40] ---
That's right.
[02:41] ---
Yeah!
[02:42] ---
It's getting dark.
[02:44] ---
Probably time to tell everyone to go home.
[02:48] ---
We've got the festival planning
meeting tonight, too.
[02:50] ---
Oh, shoot, I have to go to that, too!
[02:53] ---
To the planning meeting?
[02:54] ---
Oh! Why don't you come too, Kei-chan?
[03:01] ---
"Watanagashi Festival Planning Meeting"
You sure it's okay for me to be here?
[03:04] ---
"Watanagashi Festival Planning Meeting"
Everyone's been hearing
good things about you, Kei-chan,
[03:06] ---
so people've been asking me to
bring you to one of these for a while.
[03:08] ---
I hope I won't be intruding, I hope!
[03:12] ---
You won't.
[03:13] ---
Everyone'll probably be thrilled
to see so many passionate young'ins.
[03:18] ---
Hello! You're all here early.
[03:21] ---
Why, if it ain't Mion-chan!
Brought quite a group with you.
[03:25] ---
Not like we got anything better to do.
[03:27] ---
"DON'T BUILD THE DAM!!"
[03:29] ---
"Onigafuchi Defensive Alliance Creed"
[03:30] ---
"Onigafuchi Defensive Alliance"
[03:31] ---
"Onigafuchi Defensive Alliance"
Well, well, I thought I saw a bunch
of fashionable shoes near the door!
[03:33] ---
Well, well, I thought I saw a bunch
of fashionable shoes near the door!
[03:37] ---
What's the occasion?
[03:38] ---
Why, Kimiyoshi! It's been too long.
[03:42] ---
We were just hanging out together,
so I figured I'd invite them along.
[03:45] ---
Is that so? How nice.
[03:48] ---
Uh, I'm Keiichi Maebara.
[03:52] ---
My, thanks for coming.
[03:54] ---
Now Shion-chan, you should come down
to the Watanagashi festival this year!
[03:59] ---
I'd be honored to attend.
[04:00] ---
Ah, right, there was something I wanted
to talk to you about, Mion-chan.
[04:05] ---
--There was?
--Could I borrow you for a moment?
[04:09] ---
Of course, what is it?
[04:13] ---
My, my...
[04:18] ---
Kei-chan, can I borrow you for a sec?
[04:25] ---
Chie-sensei?
[04:26] ---
I need to talk to you, Maebara-kun.
[04:29] ---
Not about anything good, I'm guessing.
[04:32] ---
You're going with everyone to
the CWS center tomorrow, yes?
[04:35] ---
Yeah. Right, Mion?
[04:40] ---
Maebara-kun, could you stop
after tomorrow and just see what happens?
[04:45] ---
Is this some kind of warning?
[04:48] ---
The mayor said something
to you just now, didn't he?
[04:51] ---
That's why you're telling me to be careful.
[04:53] ---
Maebara-kun, I think you're doing
the right thing, I do, but...
[05:00] ---
Kei-chan, Chie-sensei is doing everything
she can to support us.
[05:04] ---
It's just, well...
[05:06] ---
Someone's putting pressure on her?
[05:09] ---
Back when the Board of Education hadn't
officially recognized our school here,
[05:14] ---
Chie-sensei went against their orders
and came to teach us here anyway.
[05:19] ---
You see, if my future was the only thing
at stake, I'd gladly risk it.
[05:23] ---
But I can't threaten the future of our school.
[05:29] ---
Mion, Chie-sensei,
you're the strongest people I know.
[05:34] ---
One's a good friend I look up to
and one's a teacher I respect.
[05:37] ---
I can't imagine what kind
of pressure you must be under
[05:43] ---
if it's making you fold beneath it.
[05:45] ---
Maebara-kun...
[05:47] ---
Tell me, why do the older members
of the village hate the Hojos?
[05:52] ---
The dam war is over. Satoko hasn't
done anything to deserve this!
[05:57] ---
So why do they hate her
and her family this much?!
[05:59] ---
Who hates them? Whose fault is it?!
[06:02] ---
Because I need to talk to those people!
[06:06] ---
I don't think anyone in the village
actually hates the Hojo family.
[06:11] ---
Wait, really?
[06:14] ---
During the dam war, the Hojo family
was the village's arch-nemesis.
[06:17] ---
At least, that's how everyone viewed them.
[06:21] ---
But once her dam-supporting
parents passed away,
[06:23] ---
everyone knew that Satoko
was totally innocent.
[06:27] ---
Still, no one's ever come forward
to publicly forgive the Hojos.
[06:32] ---
Everyone's afraid to associate with the Hojos,
[06:36] ---
because defending them paints
a big target on your back.
[06:41] ---
That can't be true!
[06:43] ---
We're all friends with Satoko-chan at school!
[06:46] ---
This is just amongst
the older people in the village
[06:50] ---
who just happen to make up
the core of the Hinamizawa.
[06:53] ---
They think that's what the old Sonozaki
hag believes, so they go along with it.
[06:58] ---
But that's not how it is at all.
[07:00] ---
Even my old gran's afraid
to openly support the Hojos
[07:03] ---
'cause she thinks people will lose trust in her.
[07:06] ---
So what's all this boil down to?
[07:09] ---
Who do I gotta punch in the face? Just tell me!
[07:12] ---
Nobody actually hates Satoko!
[07:15] ---
Everyone thinks we should
forgive her family,
[07:19] ---
they just can't say it out loud!
[07:26] ---
That's so sad...
[07:29] ---
And so, so stupid.
[07:33] ---
Everyone's forgiven Satoko, but they
don't think it's okay to get involved.
[07:38] ---
Yeah. And that line of thinking
has spread like mold on tatami floors.
[07:44] ---
The only way to get rid of rotten tatami
is to rip it up and replace it.
[07:48] ---
So the village elders feel
pressured to stay out of it...
[07:52] ---
because they think some mystery person
or people will turn on them?
[07:57] ---
I say that mystery person
is Oyashiro-sama's Curse.
[08:04] ---
Sounds like we'll have to rip up
all the rotten tatami then, huh?
[08:10] ---
And all that rotten tatami just happens
to be very close by right now.
[08:16] ---
--Maebara-kun!
--Not you too, Rena!
[08:18] ---
I'm in. Let's get rid of these
crusty old bastards, huh?
[08:22] ---
Yeah! I might look weak,
but I won't show them mercy!
[08:27] ---
Wouldn't wanna get on your bad side,
or you mine, huh?
[08:30] ---
Okay, let's do this!
[08:31] ---
Got it. I'm in, too.
[08:34] ---
I'll also help.
[08:36] ---
That's what I'm talking about!
[08:39] ---
I understand where
you're coming from, Chie-sensei.
[08:42] ---
But please let us try this today.
[08:46] ---
Very well.
[08:50] ---
I entrust you with this message!
[08:52] ---
Keiichi can break this terrible fate.
[08:56] ---
I know this myself!
[09:02] ---
Okay, let's go!
[09:09] ---
Excuse me, can I say something?
[09:11] ---
Oh, Keiichi-kun, could you save
personal matters for the end?
[09:15] ---
I don't want to beat around the bush,
so I'll get straight to the point.
[09:20] ---
I want to talk to you about
Satoko Hojo's current horrific situation.
[09:24] ---
Yeah, we know all about it.
[09:27] ---
I'm just saying you've already made
our case to CWS! You've done enough!
[09:32] ---
Do you have a problem with us
continuing to protest?
[09:34] ---
Of course we've got a problem with it!
[09:36] ---
Okay, then explain why
so someone my age can understand.
[09:40] ---
Look, the dam war ended ages ago!
[09:44] ---
It's done and over, as are the days
of bandin' together and protesting!
[09:48] ---
I'm not talking about "those days"
or the dam war or anything!
[09:52] ---
I'm talking about the war
I'm fighting right now!
[09:56] ---
You should watch your tongue!
[09:58] ---
Young people these days!
[10:02] ---
All right. Let's see what you've got.
[10:05] ---
Umm, excuse me, can I ask you something?
[10:10] ---
I don't understand why the dam war
being over means we can't protest CWS.
[10:16] ---
The dam war's over, so we've got
no need to fight against the government!
[10:20] ---
Now's the time to work together with 'em!
[10:23] ---
Okay. I think it's important for us
to get along with them, too.
[10:28] ---
Yeah. That's why Hinamizawa tries
to work with them nowadays.
[10:32] ---
The village council and the local
government are such great pals.
[10:35] ---
They put aside a huge chunk of money
for Watanagashi and a few other perks.
[10:40] ---
Isn't that right, my dear Kimiyoshi?
[10:42] ---
Sh-Shion-chan...
[10:44] ---
What's that supposed to mean?
[10:47] ---
They're in the government's pocket,
so they don't want to make them mad.
[10:52] ---
You know nothing!
[10:53] ---
Damn youngin's think they can--
[10:55] ---
Quiet! Quiet, everyone!
[10:58] ---
Huh, so the Hinamizawa village council
is the government's little lapdog, huh?
[11:02] ---
You'd better watch your tongue, young man!
[11:04] ---
No, you'd better watch
your tongue, old man!
[11:07] ---
Are you seriously refusing to help
Satoko just because she's a Hojo?!
[11:12] ---
This has nothing to do with Satoko-chan!
[11:16] ---
We're advising you, as your elders,
to stop pushing your protest too far!
[11:22] ---
Oh, wow, Keiichi-kun, look at this cool
thing framed on the wall!
[11:26] ---
"We attempted to negotiate peacefully,
but the government refused.
[11:31] ---
They showed the utmost
disrespect to our people
[11:34] ---
and violently crushed our spirit
of democracy beneath their heel."
[11:38] ---
The heck is that? Sounds more like
what the village council is doing to us.
[11:43] ---
So true. Those are words
better fit for our own cause.
[11:48] ---
You've got a point there.
[11:50] ---
Kimiyoshi wrote that to commemorate
the war we fought over the dam.
[11:57] ---
Since I moved here,
[11:59] ---
all my friends have told me stories
about your bravery during the dam war.
[12:03] ---
That spirit of togetherness
is a Hinamizawa tradition!
[12:06] ---
I have the utmost respect for
the villagers who fostered that spirit!
[12:12] ---
But above all, I revere the courage
of the Onigafuchi Defensive Alliance!
[12:17] ---
They thwarted the government's
dirty tricks at every turn!
[12:19] ---
They're the reason our beautiful valley
and spirit of unity still exist today!
[12:24] ---
I want to be proud of the fact
that I live here in Hinamizawa!
[12:28] ---
He's right...
[12:29] ---
Could have some truth to it...
[12:32] ---
If one attacks us, two strike back.
[12:35] ---
If two attack, then four. If four,
then eight. If eight, then sixteen!
[12:40] ---
If a thousand come to attack,
then the whole village rises up against them!
[12:44] ---
If one of us is in trouble,
everyone bands together to help!
[12:47] ---
That is the mantra that unifies
the Onigafuchi Guardians!
[12:51] ---
Satoko Hojo is one of us!
[12:53] ---
That is why I want to resurrect
the spirit of the Onigafuchi Alliance
[12:57] ---
and come together as one again!
[13:08] ---
Keiichi-kun's right. Hinamizawa's
never been one to cowtow to the state!
[13:13] ---
But they've given us so much support...
[13:18] ---
Mr. Mayor, we might not be able
to support Maebara-kun here,
[13:21] ---
but I don't think we have the right
to put a stop to what he's doing.
[13:31] ---
I'm with Maebara-kun!
[13:33] ---
Same here! He's a rude little punk,
but his heart's in the right place!
[13:38] ---
Don't you worry about a thing, Keiichi-kun!
Don't let 'em bully you!
[13:42] ---
All right, I'm with him, too!
[13:44] ---
Unfortunately,
[13:46] ---
even if we do go to CWS again tomorrow,
they may not hear us out again.
[13:51] ---
Likely because they think
the village council is on their side.
[13:55] ---
We need you to publicly express
your support for Keiichi's cause.
[14:00] ---
Why the hell not, Mr. Mayor?!
Let's tell 'em loud and clear!
[14:03] ---
Yes, well...
[14:05] ---
Personally, I have no problem
with what you're doing, Keiichi,
[14:09] ---
but as part of the village council...
[14:12] ---
Let's just be honest here.
[14:14] ---
You're afraid there are people here
who are against helping out the Hojos,
[14:18] ---
isn't that right?
[14:19] ---
Everyone thinks people will turn
against you if you associate with them!
[14:24] ---
Which, by the way, nobody
in this village would do!
[14:29] ---
No, someone would.
[14:32] ---
Who is it? Tell us!
[14:38] ---
Kimiyoshi.
[14:41] ---
Do you want that someone
to give you permission?
[14:45] ---
Boy, you're right on the money
with that one, little miss Rika.
[14:50] ---
Wait, does he mean our old gran?
[14:52] ---
The Kimiyoshis believe the Hojos'
past actions are water under the bridge.
[14:57] ---
The Furudes are in agreement, yes?
[15:00] ---
Mr. Mayor, promise me this.
[15:03] ---
If we can get the Sonozakis and
Mion's grandma to agree with our plan,
[15:07] ---
will the village council give us
their full public support?
[15:09] ---
Well, of course! If Oryo-san gives
the go-ahead, then I'll man up and do it!
[15:15] ---
You'll have my full support!
[15:18] ---
--The rest of you all right with that?
--You're not half bad, Maebara-san.
[15:20] ---
--Yeah!
--You're not half bad, Maebara-san.
[15:25] ---
It sounds like CWS is doing
their job correctly. That's not an issue.
[15:30] ---
So why does the village council
have a problem with them?
[15:33] ---
CWS will take months to help Satoko.
We can't wait that long!
[15:39] ---
She ain't gonna die between now and then.
[15:42] ---
The hell are you makin'
a big racket about it for?
[15:46] ---
S-Sure, she might not die, but--
[15:48] ---
Then shut the hell up, you imbeciles!
[15:50] ---
Can't believe you're willin' to
risk your lives over something like this!
[15:55] ---
Grow a pair of balls, the lot of you!
[15:59] ---
Oryo, Satoko is my friend.
[16:03] ---
I just want you to help her.
[16:05] ---
Little Rika, I'm always telling you,
you gotta choose your friends right.
[16:10] ---
That means choosin' not to pal around
with that cursed Hojo brat!
[16:14] ---
I can't believe you're here, too, Dr. Irie.
Thought you were a grown-ass man!
[16:19] ---
Satoko-chan is a Hojo in name, that's all.
[16:24] ---
She never petitioned for the dam to be built--
[16:26] ---
Shut your damn mouth!
[16:27] ---
Who the hell do you think
you're talking to, you little shit?!
[16:34] ---
You look like you have
something to say, Keiichi-san.
[16:36] ---
Go on, spit it out.
[16:39] ---
Are you sure?
[16:43] ---
My name is Keiichi Maebara.
[16:45] ---
Skip the pleasantries;
I know who you are.
[16:49] ---
Satoko Hojo isn't the problem here.
[16:52] ---
Our problem is that one of our
fellow villagers is in trouble.
[16:55] ---
Did you hear a word I said?
[16:57] ---
Nobody's ignoring her suffering,
and CWS is already on her case.
[17:02] ---
Yet you still want us to rush to her aid?
Isn't that just being selfish?
[17:07] ---
The one time she came to school,
she looked absolutely miserable!
[17:11] ---
Who knows how she'll look after
a whole month of that?!
[17:14] ---
Are you saying you don't care how much
trauma she needs to suffer through?!
[17:18] ---
Fine then, what do you want us to do?
[17:21] ---
Help her, right away!
[17:23] ---
Then okay, you can keep on helping her.
[17:26] ---
The Sonozakis don't need to get involved.
[17:29] ---
That's where you're wrong!
[17:31] ---
We won't make any progress if we
don't get the village council to back us.
[17:37] ---
And the village council wants to back us.
They just need your approval.
[17:44] ---
Who the hell decided that
without askin' me?!
[17:47] ---
All you need to do is nod your head, ma'am.
[17:52] ---
You don't need to say a word, just nod.
[17:56] ---
And what if she doesn't?
[17:57] ---
Then I'll bash open her head
right here and now,
[18:00] ---
and let Mion become the new head of family!
[18:03] ---
What the fuck did you just
say to me, you little brat?!
[18:06] ---
One of you, stab 'im to death
and throw 'im in the old well!
[18:10] ---
You wanna go head-to-head, old lady?!
[18:13] ---
Hope you enjoyed dinner,
'cause that was your last meal!
[18:16] ---
Shut your goddamn mouth, brat!
Do you know who the hell you're talking to?!
[18:22] ---
I'll keep it simple. Satoko's my friend,
and I fight for my friends!
[18:27] ---
Wouldn't you do the same?
[18:29] ---
You sure know your shit for an outsider.
[18:32] ---
I'm no outsider, you old hag!
[18:35] ---
I'm Keiichi Maebara of Hinamizawa Village!
[18:37] ---
And if one of my Hinamizawa friends
is in trouble, I'll fight for them!
[18:40] ---
Oryo-san, Maebara-san may have
only just moved here,
[18:46] ---
but he's a promising young man
who'll bring good change to our village.
[18:50] ---
When'd you start thinking rude little shits
like him are "promising," huh?
[18:56] ---
If you think I'm being disrespectful,
then let me try being respectful.
[18:59] ---
We would like the Sonozaki Family
to support us in rescuing Satoko.
[19:03] ---
Please, ma'am, I beg of you!
[19:07] ---
Sit up, Keiichi-kun.
[19:10] ---
What do you think, Mother?
[19:12] ---
I don't give a damn!
[19:14] ---
All Hojos are the same:
conniving, evil bastards!
[19:19] ---
Not to mention this little brat
just threatened to kill me just now!
[19:24] ---
I've always respected you for
your willingness to fight for your friends!
[19:29] ---
That's why I want to fight for mine, too,
just like you, Grandma!
[19:33] ---
Satoko is family to me.
Please, Grandmother. Help us.
[19:43] ---
I've already bowed once.
I won't bow to you again.
[19:46] ---
But I will ask once more: Please, help us!
[19:51] ---
So if I do nod for you, what then?
[19:54] ---
Then the village council will support us
and CWS will have to hear us out.
[19:58] ---
Oryo-san, I'll be honest.
I pity poor Satoko-chan.
[20:03] ---
I think it's high time we tell everyone
to bring her back into the fold.
[20:08] ---
That ain't happening!
[20:10] ---
That demon Hojo child ain't off the hook!
[20:14] ---
That settles it, then! You're her enemy,
which makes you my enemy!
[20:19] ---
I'll strangle you to death right here and now!
[20:22] ---
You really wanna piss me off, don'tcha?!
[20:24] ---
How dare you speak to me like that?!
I ain't takin' this no more!
[20:28] ---
Oryo, you're going to burst a blood vessel.
[20:32] ---
I'm sorry, but I must ask you
to leave things here for the night.
[20:35] ---
But we haven't even heard
an answer from her yet!
[20:38] ---
Keiichi-kun, you need to learn
the rules and know when to stop.
[20:44] ---
Kei-chan, that's enough for today.
[20:48] ---
Dammit, we were so close!
[20:51] ---
You said everything that needed
to be said, Keiichi-kun.
[20:53] ---
All that's left is to trust Oryo
will make the right decision.
[20:56] ---
Man, I really hate waiting.
[21:00] ---
Oh, Uncle! How'd it go? Is Grandma still mad?
[21:06] ---
She gave the okay.
[21:09] ---
The old demon said she'd allow
the village council to support you.
[21:14] ---
That means you've got the backing
of the Onigafuchi Defensive Alliance.
[21:19] ---
You can't lose this fight of yours now.
[21:21] ---
Are you prepared to give it your all?
[21:23] ---
Absolutely!
[21:25] ---
You don't hesitate.
I like a man who's got guts!
[21:29] ---
Uh, thank you very much!
[21:32] ---
No need to thank me.
[21:33] ---
The old demon thought
the only way to fix the Hojo problem
[21:37] ---
was to take her so-called grudge
with her to the grave.
[21:41] ---
Deep down, she's grateful to see it
resolved while she's still alive.
[21:46] ---
O-Oh, I'm the one who should be grateful!
[21:49] ---
I've also taken quite a liking to you
after that display today, Keiichi-kun.
[21:54] ---
Satoko-chan's lucky to have your affections.
[21:57] ---
Look, Kei-chan and Satoko
aren't like that, okay?!
[21:59] ---
Oh, is that right?
[22:01] ---
Well, you two better work harder, then!
[22:04] ---
--Huh?! Hey!
--Huh?! Hey!
[22:10] ---
Keiichi?
[22:12] ---
We can save Satoko from her fate with this.
[22:16] ---
Yeah, you're right.
[22:18] ---
But Rika-chan, please stop using the word f--
[22:21] ---
I know.
[22:23] ---
I'm not going to toss that word
around lightly anymore.
[22:27] ---
You taught me that destroying fate
was as easy as tearing through wet paper.
[22:32] ---
Wait, when?
[22:33] ---
It's a secret!
