SIGN    Have You Seen My Tama?
SIGN    Black Lightning
[01:31] everyone
    "Black Lightning!"
SIGN    Shop of Memories
[02:29] Grampy
    The dragon is coming.
[02:43] Melo
    You.
[02:48] Melo
    Are you the grandson of Black Lightning?
[03:37] Grampy
    The grandson of Black Lightning
    alone would have been enough, but
[03:40] Grampy
    I see everyone joined you.
[03:43] Kuro
    I asked them to come.
[03:46] Kuro
    Grampy, "Black Lightning"
    is my grandpa, right?
[03:50] Grampy
    Yes. It was a long time ago.
[03:54] Grampy
    When Melo and I, and your
    grandfather were young.
[04:02] (Flashback) Grampy
    Do you think he'll come?
[04:04] (Flashback) Melo
    He will.
[04:05] (Flashback) Melo
    He's the man known as Fleet-footed
    Kuro-chan around here.
[04:09] (Flashback) Melo
    He won't turn tail at the thought
    of competing with the dragon.
[04:12] (Flashback) Melo
    Even in the one in a million chance
    he doesn't come, I'll do it.
[04:23] (Flashback) Melo
    He's here.
[04:37] (Flashback) Melo
    Against the dragon,
[04:38] (Flashback) Melo
    you're going to have to show what you
    can really do, Fleet-footed Kuro-chan.
[04:46] (Flashback) Melo
    Here it comes... the dragon.
[05:17] Grampy
    A sign that the dragon is coming.
[05:20] Melo
    Seems big this time.
[05:22] Koma
    Hey...
[05:26] Koma
    What's a dragon?
SIGN    Shop of Memories
[05:32] Tora
    Kuro's grandpa picked a fight with this guy?
[05:36] Grampy
    No. It wasn't a fight.
[05:39] Melo
    It was a competition.
[05:40] Tora
    A competition?
[05:41] Melo
    That's right.
[05:42] Melo
    This guy runs at tremendous speed.
[05:45] Melo
    That's where we come in. Black Lightning
    and I were confident in our speed,
[05:50] Melo
    though he was called Fleet-footed
    Kuro-chan back then.
[05:54] Tama
    So, did you win?
[05:55] Melo
    Yes. Fleet-footed Kuro-chan won.
[06:00] Melo
    I didn't come anywhere even close.
[06:03] Kuro
    My grandpa... He beat this guy, right?
[06:06] Melo
    That's right!
[06:08] Melo
    He was... In that moment,
    he was like lightning.
[06:12] Melo
    No. He was lightning itself.
[06:20] Melo
    And he beat the dragon.
[06:22] Melo
    After that, he was known as Black Lightning.
[06:26] Koma
    That's so cool!
[06:27] Koma
    Kuro, your grandpa is super cool!
[06:30] Tama
    So, your speed is just like your grandpa's.
[06:33] Kuro
    Yeah. That's true.
[06:35] Melo
    What do you say, Kuro?
[06:36] Kuro
    What?
[06:37] Melo
    Want to try racing this guy?
[06:39] Kuro
    What? Race the dragon?
[06:41] Melo
    That's right.
[06:42] Koma
    Kuro, do it!
[06:44] Kuro
    But...
[06:45] Melo
    I don't think you can run
    like Black Lightning did.
[06:50] Melo
    But I'll teach you.
[06:52] Melo
    I remember exactly how Black
    Lightning ran back then.
[06:58] Grampy
    Kuro.
[07:00] Grampy
    Your grandpa once told me something.
[07:06] (Flashback) Kuro's grandpa
    When I passed the dragon, I
    experienced something incredible.
[07:10] (Flashback) Kuro's grandpa
    Everything went white.
[07:13] (Flashback) Kuro's grandpa
    In that pure white world with no sound,
[07:16] (Flashback) Kuro's grandpa
    I raced forward.
[07:19] (Flashback) Kuro's grandpa
    My feet pushed against the ground, but
[07:21] (Flashback) Kuro's grandpa
    it was like I was speeding through the sky.
[07:23] Kuro
    A pure white world?
[07:25] Grampy
    That's right.
[07:26] Grampy
    It's a world that only a chosen few can see.
[07:30] Grampy
    Only those who accomplish something
    incredible can reach it...
[07:33] Grampy
    a realm where everything is
    one, and "self" does not exist.
[07:35] Melo
    What do you think, Kuro?
    Want to give it a try?
[07:39] Koma
    You should do it, Kuro!
[07:41] Tora
    Yeah.
[07:42] Tora
    I don't really get all of it, but
    it's something amazing, right?
[07:46] Momo
    I just know you'll be able to do it, Kuro!
[07:48] Tama
    I'm sure you can do it!
[07:51] Kuro
    All right. I'll try.
[07:53] Melo
    Now that's decided, we
    head straight to training.
[07:56] Melo
    There isn't much time
    before the dragon comes.
[08:37] Tama
    He passed him!
[08:40] Melo
    Well done.
[08:42] Melo
    That was just the way Black Lightning ran.
[08:45] Melo
    With the way you ran just now...
    you can beat the dragon!
[08:49] Kuro
    Grampy...
[08:54] Grampy
    Tomorrow... the dragon will come.
[09:29] Grampy
    He's here!
[09:57] Grampy
    When his feet touch the
    ground, that's the start.
[10:35] Kuro
    Grandpa!
[10:49] Melo
    He passed the dragon!
[10:53] Kuro
    How's that, dragon? I beat you!
[10:59] Kuro
    Th-This is...
[11:01] Kuro
    the pure white world?
[11:11] Tama
    Kuro disappeared!
[11:23] everyone
    Kuro!
[11:24] Grampy
    He did it...
[11:28] Kuro
    Grandpa...
[11:29] Kuro
    I did it.
[11:40] Takeshi
    When Tama's ears twitch and he
    quietly looks out the window...
[11:45] Takeshi
    the window always rattles afterwards.
[11:49] Takeshi
    I wonder if Tama can talk with the wind.
SIGN    Chasing the Outing

    Looks good, right, Tama?
[12:49] Takeshi
    They're snacks for my outing tomorrow.
[12:52] Takeshi

    If you come on the outing tomorrow,
    Tama, I'll give you some.

[13:28] Tora
    Okay! Time for snacks!
[13:30] Pochi
    Yeah! Snacks!
[13:31] Tama

    place, he'd share with us.
[13:34] Tora
    Outing? Where is that?
[13:36] Pochi
    You think it's far?
[13:38] Tama
    I don't know.
[13:39] Tama
    I guess all we can do is follow
    Takeshi-kun and the others.
[13:42] Pochi
    I don't wanna go far.
[13:45] Tora
    It's for the snacks, right?
[13:50] Pochi

    What? No!
[15:11] Tama; Tora
    Pochi!
[15:21] Pochi
    That was close...
[15:23] Tora
    It's because you kept
    dragging your heels, Pochi!
[15:31] everyone
    You're kidding!
[15:38] Pochi
    I told you it was dangerous...
[15:44] Pochi
    What's wrong?
[15:45] Tora
    We lost sight of the snacks.
[15:47] Tama
    They must be really far ahead of us.

    Oh!

[16:14] Pochi
    I don't want to after all...
[16:15] Tora
    Come on, we're getting off.
[16:17] Pochi
    It's dangerous!
[16:18] Tama
    Huh?
[16:20] Tama
    If we don't hurry, we'll
    lose sight of them again!
[16:23] Pochi
    But, I'm scared.

    On the way back,
[21:59] Takeshi
    everyone's backpacks were lighter,
    with empty lunchboxes and snack packs.
[22:04] Takeshi
    I was the only one with a backpack
    many times heavier than when I came.
[22:08] Takeshi
    I felt like I was going to fall over.
[22:11] Takeshi
    But I could feel the warmth of
    Tama, Tora, and Pochi's bodies,
[22:16] Takeshi
    and, for some reason, it gave me strength.
