[00:03] Master Frog
    The Teppen Grand Prix final
    qualifier has ended.
[00:06] Master Frog
    It seems one team from
    Takako-so was eliminated.
[00:09] Master Phone
    Even more should have been washed out.
[00:12] Master Phone
    Why did you go so easy on them?
[00:14] Master Kokeshi
    What's wrong, code name:
    Muscle? Do you dare defy us?
[00:18] Master Frog
    The comedy world is a battleground,
[00:20] Master Frog
    a path of blood and carnage
    where the weak fail
[00:23] Master Frog
    and only the funny reach the top!
[00:27] Master Barber
    Either way, if they have true skills, it
    should be possible to crawl their way up.
[00:33] Master Moai
    Only if they have the skills.
[00:35] Master Frog
    Enough talking.
[00:37] Master Frog
    This concludes the Teppen
    Grand Prix Committee meeting.

[00:55] Yayoi
    It's all over.
[00:57] Yomogi
    Yeah.
[00:58] Yuzu
    That's true.
[00:59] Yayoi
    We were kicked out of Takako-so.
[01:02] Yomogi
    Yeah.
[01:02] Yuzu
    That's true.
[01:04] Yayoi
    And our dreams for the Teppen Grand Prix...
[01:07] Yayoi
    I'm sorry, Yomogi, Yuzu.
[01:09] Yayoi
    If only I hadn't saved the world!
[01:13] Yayoi
    If only I hadn't claimed a hero's glory!
[01:15] Yuzu
    It wasn't your fault, Yayoi!
[01:17] Yomogi
    She's right! We were up there with you too.
[01:20] Yomogi
    If only I had stopped you then...
[01:24] Yomogi
    As Young Wai-Wai's tsukkomi,
    I'm an embarrassment.
[01:27] Yayoi
    Yuzu. Yomogi.
[01:33] Yayoi
    Let's forget it.
[01:35] Yayoi
    This isn't like us at all. Let's cheer up.
[01:38] Yayoi
    Oh, yeah! Since everyone at Takako-so
    is going to the main event,
[01:41] Yayoi
    why don't we form a cheer squad for them?
[01:44] Yomogi
    That sounds great!
[01:46] Yomogi
    We'll be so happy if they do well.
[01:48] Yuzu
    Think of how exciting it'll be if they win!
[01:51] Yayoi
    Then we'll have to thank them!
[01:53] Yayoi
    Like, "thanks for the excitement!"
[01:55] Yomogi
    Yeah, "thanks for the excitement."
[01:57] Yuzu
    Sure. "Thanks for the excitement."
[01:59] Yayoi
    Yeah, yeah! Thanks for the...
[02:03] Yomogi
    I don't know. I just...
[02:05] Yuzu
    I'm happy to see them succeed, but...
[02:13] Yomogi
    I just... can't.
[02:15] Yomogi
    I can't shift gears that fast.
[02:17] Yomogi
    I really wanted it.
[02:19] Yomogi
    I really wanted to make people laugh.
[02:21] Yomogi
    I really wanted to make it to the top.
[02:25] Yayoi
    It isn't fair! It isn't fair! It isn't fair!
[02:27] Yayoi
    I wanna be in the main event!
[02:28] Yayoi
    There's so much more we can do!
[02:30] Yayoi
    We were gonna be so hilarious!
[02:32] Yuzu
    I really don't want things to end like this.
[02:35] Steward
    Is that right, Mistress?
[02:37] Yuzu
    Steward?
[02:39] Yayoi
    How'd you get in?
[02:40] Yayoi
    Wait. How long were you there?
[02:41] Steward
    From the part when Yayoi-sama said,
[02:43] Steward
    "It's all over."
[02:45] Yomogi
    Since the start of the scene?!
[02:46] Yuzu
    You should have said something.
[02:48] Steward
    Please accept my apologies.
[02:49] Steward
    I have a bad habit of blending
    into the background.
[02:52] Steward
    I have watched over
    Mistress Yuzu her entire life,
[02:57] Steward
    so her time away felt
    like an eternity to me.
[03:01] Yuzu
    I had to ask him not to
    follow me to Takako-so.
[03:05] Yomogi
    Is that right?
[03:06] Yayoi
    But why did you show up now?
[03:09] Steward
    The Teppen Grand Prix office asked
    me to deliver something to you.
[03:14] Yuzu
    Oh? What is it?
[03:16] Steward
    It's this.
[03:17] Yomogi
    A dumbbell?!
[03:18] Yayoi
    Something's written on it.
[03:21] Yayoi
    "To the members of Young Wai-Wai.
[03:23] Yayoi
    You have been entered to compete
    in the comeback round."
[03:27] Yayoi; Yomogi; Yuzu
    The comeback round?!
[03:28] Seiji
    It's true that you failed
    the final qualifier.
[03:32] Seiji
    But that doesn't mean you've
    completely run out of options.
[03:36] Seiji
    Final qualifiers were held all over the
    country, with the same rules as Takako-so.
[03:40] Seiji
    All of the disqualified trios are given the
    right to participate in the comeback round
[03:44] Seiji
    to compete for the last
    spot in the main event.
[03:47] Seiji
    The comeback round will be held on a special
    stage in two days, right before the main event.
SIGN    Teppen Grand Prix
[03:53] Seiji
    This will be your final chance.
[03:57] Seiji
    If you want to reach the top,
    grab that one last ticket
[04:00] Seiji
    like your life depends on it!
[04:03] Steward
    So only one team will advance.
[04:06] Steward
    That does sound quite strict.
[04:08] Yomogi
    Oh, yes!
[04:09] Yomogi
    We still had a chance!
[04:11] Yuzu
    We aren't finished with the
    Teppen Grand Prix yet!
[04:15] Yayoi
    We get another chance to perform together!
[04:18] Yuzu
    We can do more gags together!
    The three of us!
[04:21] Yayoi
    Hurray!
[04:22] Yomogi
    Praise the gods of comedy!
[04:25] Yayoi
    A comedy carnival?
[04:27] Steward
    Yes.
[04:28] Steward
    It's a small event held on the
    roof of a department store.
[04:31] Steward
    Several of the trios participating in the
    comeback round will be appearing there.
[04:37] Steward
    I suppose they're using it as a final
    practice run before the real thing.
[04:40] Yomogi
    If they're signed up for the comeback round,
     that means they're all our rivals.
[04:44] Yayoi
    I wonder what they're like.
SIGN    Comedy Carnival!!!
[04:45] Yuzu
    So do I.

    Oh, well. The deadline for
    registering was yesterday.

    Oh, nice! You guys are Young Wai-Wai, right?
[05:03] Yomogi
    Huh? Yeah, we are.
[05:05] Hitoe
    I heard all about how you got
    disqualified in the last round.
[05:09] Hitoe
    You went on TV, and it went
    straight to your head.
[05:11] Hitoe
    That's, like, super lame!
[05:13] Yomogi
    Don't talk to us like that. It's so rude!
[05:15] Yuzu
    But who are you?

    Oh, us?

    Yeah, and we're the ones who're gonna win!

    We ain't losing to some fancy-pants

    These are the trios going

    Oh, jeez! That fake globalization!

    We won't let you just brush
    Chochune off and declare a win!

    Our jokes are better and our farms
    are bigger than anything you got!

    We'll show you how thick our
    skin is. Thicker than udon!
[07:30] Yayoi
    They were crazy.
[07:32] Yomogi
    Yeah, literally.
[07:33] Yuzu
    Their intros had such impact that
    I don't even remember the jokes.
[07:38] Yomogi
    I guess that sort of thing is comedy too,
[07:40] Yomogi
    but I want us to compete on
    the strength of our gags.
[07:43] Yayoi
    Then let's start writing new ones!
[07:45] Yayoi
    Let's hit 'em with the best we got!
[07:48] Kana
    I heard about what's going on.
[07:50] Yayoi
    Kana-chan?!

    Kana. You're inside. Take off your shoes.

    Excuse us! We just dropped by.

    Why are you guys here?

    Come on, we aren't strangers.
[08:01] Kana
    We were your housemates at Takako-so!
[08:03] Kana
    If you're having trouble with
    your routine, we can help!
[08:07] Miyu
    That settles it! The theme
    is Ibaraki versus Gunma!
[08:10] Misao
    Yeah, that's perfect.
[08:12] Yomogi
    No, it isn't!
[08:13] Yomogi
    But where the heck did you come from?
[08:15] Hina
    Kids in Ibaraki learn to camouflage
    themselves three months after birth.
[08:19] Hina
    They must, to survive.
[08:20] Yomogi
    Is their life really that harsh?
[08:22] Saeka
    We got worried and decided to visit.
    We thought things might turn out like this.
[08:27] Hikari
    If we can't give Young
    Wai-Wai practical advice,
[08:30] Hikari
    it'll just be a distraction for them.
[08:33] Mako
    People who are really stingy with their
    advice never actually help, do they?
[08:37] Miyu
    Oh, stuff it!
[08:39] Miyu
    You think you can give
    them good advice, then?
[08:42] Saeka
    Yes, of course.
[08:43] Saeka
    First of all, we'll have them
    wear this when they go on stage.
SIGN    We'll pay you 100,000 yen each
     if you help us win
[08:49] Yomogi
    It's a bribe!

    The horoscope says the stars will be
    aligned for Young Wai-Wai that day.
[08:55] Yomogi
    Invaders!
[08:58] Yomogi
    Why'd you come in that way?
[08:59] Yuina
    And your lucky charm is
    a space alien's head!
[09:02] Chihori
    What? Seriously?!
[09:03] Mone
    Want me to teach you my beam saber bit?
[09:06] Yomogi
    This room is too small for all of you!
[09:09] Kana
    But we're all worried about you!
[09:12] Yuina
    We want you at the main event! Definitely!
[09:14] Mako
    Then why don't we all take turns
    writing parts of the routine?
[09:18] Miyu
    We'll start it with "Ibaraki banzai!"
[09:21] Yomogi
    That makes the topic too small!
[09:23] Mone
    How about "space banzai"?
[09:25] Yomogi
    That makes it too big!
[09:26] Saeka
    Why don't we drop cash
    from a helicopter, then?
[09:30] Yomogi
    Another bribe?
[09:31] Yomogi
    You only see that at the
    end of heist movies!
[09:34] Miyu
    Then we'll drop natto instead.
[09:36] Yomogi
    That's harassment!
[09:37] Mone
    I always use the beam saber
    to heat up the onsen.
[09:40] Yomogi
    Enough of the beam saber jokes!
[09:42] Kana
    How about everything from the birth
    of the planet to the present?
[09:42] Yayoi
    Did you think of something?
[09:45] Yuzu
    Yeah. Why don't we go with this theme?

[14:19] All three
    Hello! We're Hyakumangoku Manju!
[14:20] Chitose
    Oh, come on. Aren't they here yet?
[14:36] Yomogi
    That's it. We'll never make it now.
[14:39] Yuzu
    We let everyone at Takako-so down.
[14:42] Yuzu
    After they did so much to encourage us...
[14:44] Yomogi
    Unbelievable. Disqualified for being late...
[14:48] Yuzu
    Yayoi?
[14:50] Yayoi
    That was so fun!
[14:51] Yuzu; Yomogi
    Huh?
[14:52] Yayoi
    Oh, sorry.
[14:53] Yayoi
    I'm really sad and frustrated, too.
[14:56] Yayoi
    But when I realized it was over and
    thought about everything we did...
[15:01] Yayoi
    "It was so much fun!"
[15:03] Yayoi
    That was all I could think about.
[15:06] Yomogi
    How can you say that at a time like this?
[15:08] Yayoi
    Yeah, I know. I'm sorry!
[15:10] Yomogi
    It really was a lot of fun, though.
[15:13] Yomogi
    Especially when we were in Takako-so.
[15:15] Yomogi
    I felt like we were laughing the whole time.
[15:17] Yuzu
    That's right. I had fun, too.
[15:20] Yuzu
    Everyone at Takako-so was such a character.
[15:22] Yuzu
    At first, I didn't think we'd get along.
[15:25] Yayoi
    You were worried about that?
[15:27] Yuzu
    Well, yeah.
[15:28] Yuzu
    When I met Miyu-chan,
    she handed me a natto bean,
[15:31] Yuzu
    and said, "Here, a sign of friendship."
[15:33] Yomogi
    "A clean vote for Ibaraki!"
    Sayin' stuff like that.
[15:36] Yomogi
    But my vote's worth more
    than one slimy natto bean!
[15:40] Yomogi
    It ain't even close to a fair trade.
[15:42] Yuzu
    When she got in a fight with Kana-chan,
    she whipped out the natto and yelled, "eat it!"
[15:47] Yomogi
    I get that a lot of Kansai
    folks don't like natto,
[15:50] Yomogi
    but she used it like a
    crucifix against Dracula!
[15:53] Yomogi
    Is that what she thinks
    of her local cuisine?
[15:55] Yayoi
    And then Kana-chan almost turned to dust.
[15:57] Yomogi
    No, she didn't!
SIGN    Peach Robot
SIGN    These three girls on the train are so funny
[15:58] Yomogi
    If natto made Kansai folks evaporate,
    there'd be tragedies all over Osaka!
SIGN    Miyapi #9/25 Fukuoka
SIGN    I've seen them somewhere before
[16:03] Yomogi
    You gonna make us all go extinct?!
SIGN    Yukki
SIGN    They're right in front of me!!
[16:05] Yayoi
    Extinction would suck!
    I love Osaka and Kansai!
[16:09] Yomogi
    Well, I'm glad to hear that.
[16:10] Yayoi
    People in Kansai are all
    funny, warm, bipedal,
[16:15] Yayoi
    omnivorous, and don't have tails!
[16:18] Yomogi
    Are you comparing us to dinosaurs?
[16:20] Yomogi
    Who the heck jokes about the Reiwa Era
     and the Cretaceous Period together?
[16:23] Yuzu
    We were talking about extinction, so
    your mind went to dinosaurs, right?
[16:26] Yuzu
    But don't worry. Even if a giant asteroid
    fell, the people of Kansai would repel it!
SIGN    Ohapi
    Laughing so hard
    my stomach hurts!
SIGN    Nobuyasu

SIGN    Kuma Bear
    
     A normal conversation turns into manzai
     They must really love comedy!
SIGN    ...on the show??
[16:33] Yomogi

    Young Wai-Wai is raking in the votes!
[17:08] Hina
    How?

    I don't need all that, but would
    you mind giving me a halo?
[17:33] Yomogi
    You trying to look holy?
[17:36] Yomogi
    That's even more egotistical!
[17:37] Ahn Mika
    It seems like the live stream is going viral,
    and the people watching are casting votes.
SIGN    Comeback Round
[17:44] Ahn Mika
    But is this allowed?
[17:47] Yayoi
    Doesn't it seem like Chitose-chan likes
    tsukkomi too much and gets carried away?
[17:52] Yuzu
    When she came back with, "What
    kind of sun rises like that?"
[17:54] Yuzu
    I thought she'd peaked.
[17:56] Iroha
    Young Wai-Wai is still gaining points!
[17:59] Kana
    Go! Go!
[18:00] Yayoi
    When I called Ibaraki "Ibaragi" once,
     Hina-chan in Akudare Kingdom
[18:04] Yayoi
    blinked a death threat at me in Morse code.
[18:08] Miyu
    Go for it!
[18:10] Yuzu
    Around Takako-so,
[18:11] Yuzu
    there are so many UFOs
    appearing all the time,
[18:13] Yuzu
    it's practically a sci-fi pilgrimage site.
[18:16] Yayoi
    I heard Saeka-san in Celebri-Tea
    paid for those UFOs.
[18:20] Yomogi
    Has she paid off the entire galaxy?

    Train operation will now resume.
[18:52] Master Frog
    Invalid! They aren't even at the venue!
[18:56] Master Kokeshi
    And those aren't real gags!
[18:57] Master Frog
    No matter how many votes they received,
    we cannot endorse this result!
[19:01] Seiji
    I hate to disagree, but...
[19:02] Master Moai
    What is it, code name: Muscle?
[19:05] Seiji
    Our predecessors were once told the
    same thing by their superiors.
[19:09] Seiji
    "You're just punks making small talk."
     "This isn't even comedy."
[19:13] Seiji
    But afterward, those same people went on
    to shine as legends in the world of comedy.
[19:19] Master Frog
    What are you trying to say?
[19:22] Seiji
    The old shouldn't limit the
    possibilities of the young.
[19:24] Seiji
    If it's funny, isn't that enough?
[19:29] Yomogi
    Aw, we didn't make it after all.
[19:32] Yayoi
    Yeah.

    and let people watch our gags online.

    Just get mannequins for that!

    we should be joking and making

    Right? When the audience laughs,

    Yeah! Yeah!
