[02:12] Kana
    Oh yeah!
[02:13] Yayoi
    We lost.
[02:14] Miyu
    Check it out! Ibaraki wins!
[02:16] Hina
    Oh boy. What right do people from
     Ibaraki have to win anything?
[02:20] Misao
    They have every right!
[02:22] Seiji
    Hmm. It's settled, then.
[02:24] Seiji
    The teams appearing on the variety show
    are Akudare Kingdom and Bullet Kunoichi.
[02:28] Yayoi
    TV? That's so cool. I wish we could go, too.
[02:32] Seiji
    That's just how it is.
[02:33] Seiji
    The program said they
    can only use two teams.
[02:37] Seiji
    You haven't even qualified for
    the Teppen Grand Prix yet,
[02:40] Seiji
    so just be grateful you even
    had a chance to get on TV.
[02:44] Yomogi
    Don't worry about it.
[02:44] Yuzu
    I'm sure we'll get another chance.
[02:47] Hikari
    We have a visitor.
[02:48] Hikari
    It's for Chitose-chan
    from Bullet Kunoichi.
[02:50] Chitose
    For me?
[02:52] Chitose
    Oh...
[02:55] Reporter
    We're from Monthly Comedy Road.
    Are you Amano Chitose-san?
[02:58] Chitose
    Yeah...
[03:00] Iroha
    Huh?
[03:02] Iroha
    I'm home.
[03:04] Kana
    Welcome back.
[03:06] Kana
    Do you know who came to see Chitose-senpai?
[03:08] Iroha
    No, I don't.
[03:10] Iroha
    What the heck are you doing?
[03:12] Kana
    Well you know, I just realized that
    going on TV could be really risky.
[03:17] Iroha
    What do you mean?
[03:18] Kana
    They say there are three people in the
    world who look just like you, right?
[03:22] Kana
    What if, just what if, one of the people
    who looks like me is a mafia don?
[03:26] Kana
    If that person gets assassinated,
[03:29] Kana
    and the organization starts looking
    for a new boss to replace them...
[03:33] Kana
    Hello there!
[03:34] Mafia
    She is the boss!
[03:36] Kana
    They'll rope me into being
    an organized crime boss!
[03:39] Iroha
    That makes sense.
[03:40] Kana
    But I don't wanna!
[03:41] Kana
    So yeah, I think I gotta
    learn to protect myself.
[03:45] Iroha
    Hmm. I like your resolve.
[03:48] Iroha
    If that's what you're doing,
    I think I can help.
[03:50] Kana
    Really? Thanks, Iroha-senpai!
[03:52] Iroha
    Strength comes from the hips and legs!
[03:54] Iroha
    Start off with some Bulgarian squats!
[03:58] Chitose
    I'm home.
[03:59] Kana
    Eek! My legs are wobbling!

[04:05] Hina
    Girls, Girls, Girls.
[04:07] Hina
    The girls' variety program that
    features all the latest girls.
[04:10] Misao
    And this time they're featuring
    the girls of comedy.
[04:14] Misao
    That's why they reached out to us.
[04:16] Hina
    I've never heard of this show.
[04:17] Misao
    Sounds like it only airs late
    night in the Kansai region.
[04:20] Misao
    It ain't for folks from Ibaraki.
[04:22] Hina
    It says the girls compete
    in different mini-games,
[04:25] Hina
    and whoever's funniest gets to sing a song.
[04:29] Hina
    Why a song?
[04:30] Misao
    No clue. But going on a variety show?
[04:33] Misao
    I get nervous just thinking about it.
[04:36] Misao
    Don't you, Miyu?
[04:37] Misao
    Miyu? What's wrong?
[04:41] Miyu
    It says the evening reruns of
    Mito Komon Neo are ending this week!
[04:46] Misao
    Seriously?!
[04:47] Misao
    Ibaraki is famous for Mito Komon Neo!
[04:48] Misao
    It's a show with more than
    fifty years of history!
[04:51] Miyu
    Those nincompoops!
[04:53] Miyu
    It was always my dream
    to become a big producer
[04:56] Miyu
    and make a Hollywood version
    of Mito Komon Neo!
[04:59] Misao
    I don't think there's much Mito to that!
[05:02] Miyu
    If the reruns stop, Komon-sama's
    popularity will drop.
[05:06] Miyu
    And then the Hollywood version
     goes from greenlit to yellowlit.
[05:09] Hina
    I don't think it was ever
    on the traffic light at all.
[05:11] Misao
    Hmph. But I never expected
    Mito Komon Neo to end.
[05:16] Misao
    Why, all of a sudden?
[05:17] Hina
    Oh. Maybe this explains it.
[05:19] Miyu
    Show me!
[05:20] Miyu
    "The popular Kansai-region
    show Girls, Girls, Girls
[05:24] Miyu
    will be aired in an evening time
    slot on national network TV."
[05:27] Miyu
    "In some regions, the program will
    replace Mito Komon Neo..." What!?
[05:31] Misao
    And that program is...
[05:33] Hina
    The variety show we're appearing in.
[05:35] Mizao
    Miyu?
[05:37] Mizao
    Hey!
[05:38] Miyu
    That settles it.
[05:39] Hina
    Settles what?
[05:40] Miyu
    Komon-sama doesn't deserve to be wiped out!
[05:43] Miyu
    I'll save Mito Komon Neo myself! Just watch!
[05:46] Misao
    Save it? How are you gonna do that?
[05:48] Miyu
    In the show we're going on, if we
    do well we get to sing, right?
[05:52] Miyu
    Then we'll get picked and
    sing our hearts out.
[05:56] Miyu
    We'll sing the Mito Komon Neo theme song!
[05:59] Miyu
    Everyone will remember how
    awesome Mito Komon Neo is,
SIGN    Let us watch
    Mito Komon Neo!
SIGN    Cancel the finale!
SIGN    Komon-sama is
     invincible!
SIGN    Crush 'em!
[06:03] Miyu
    and then there's no way the show will end!
[06:05] Hina
    I don't think that's how anything works.
[06:07] Miyu
    This is Ibaraki Prefecture's first
    step toward conquering Japan!
[06:12] Miyu
    Save the Komon-sama!
    There ain't no other way!
[06:16] Misao
    She's on fire.
[06:21] Chitose
    What the heck? You gotta be kidding!

    Goodwill ambassador or treadmill capacitor?

    You can't win a sword duel with lip balm!
[06:29] Iroha
    Tearin' it up as always.
[06:31] Iroha
    Not sure when you'd use some
    of that wordplay, though.
[06:34] Chitose
    Iroha... What are you doing here?
[06:36] Iroha
    I wanted to ask you something.
[06:38] Iroha
    Those people were from a
    comedy magazine, right?
[06:40] Iroha
    I overheard some of it.
[06:44] Chitose
    Oh.
[06:45] Iroha
    Was it for an article or something?
[06:47] Iroha
    But then why'd they only talk to you?
[06:49] Chitose
    Who knows? Maybe they thought I look funny.
[06:52] Chitose
    It's getting chilly. I'm going back.
[06:58] Iroha
    Her lies are as bad as those jokes.
[07:02] Iroha
    The filming location was
    supposed to be around here.

    Hmm? What's going on?

    What?!

    Oh no! It's the mafia guys!
    I don't wanna be the boss!
[07:15] Kana
    Huh?
[07:16] Man
    Wha!
[07:17] Man
    L-Let me go! I didn't do anything!

    Aren't you that producer...?

    I'm Akudai Kan.
[07:31] Akudai
    Welcome to the Girls, Girls, Girls shoot.

    who's Komon-sama's arch enemy?
SIGN    Akudai Kan
[07:39] Akudai
    It's Akudai Kan. Make no mistake, cuties.
[07:44] Chitose
    But what's this about manhunting?
[07:46] Chitose
    That isn't a word you hear every day.
[07:48] Akudai
    Well, I'm aiming for a show
    that's nothing but cute girls
[07:52] Akudai
    giggling and chattering away.
     It'll be paradise!
[07:55] Akudai
    It'll be like an amusement
    park full of girls!
[07:58] Akudai
    A zoo full of girls!
[08:00] Akudai
    All the viewers want to see
    are cute girls, you know.
[08:04] Akudai
    So I pull all the men from the
    streets whenever we're shooting.
[08:09] Akudai
    If there's even one man on screen,
    we'll get flamed online!
[08:11] Kana
    But you don't count?
[08:13] Akudai
    The viewers project themselves onto me.
[08:15] Akudai
    That's how they can imagine themselves
    as being a part of this girls' world.
[08:19] Akudai
    So I'm fine.
[08:20] Chitose
    I don't get it.
[08:22] Akudai
    All right! Now that the distractions
    are gone, we can start the shoot!
[08:28] Akudai
    Let's make something special, my girls!
[08:31] Akudai
    Okay then, the first challenge is...
[08:34] Akudai
    "Quiz, Dash, Splash"!
[08:36] Kana
    We got this!
[08:37] Miyu
    We ain't losing!
[08:38] Akudai
    The rules are simple.
SIGN    Girls!!
    Girls!!!
[08:40] Akudai
    If you think the statement
    is true, run to the O.
[08:44] Akudai
    If you think it's false, run to
    the X. And dive right through!
[08:47] Akudai
    If you run through the wrong wall,
[08:49] Akudai
    there will be a penalty waiting
    for you, so do be careful!
[08:52] Kana
    We're going first.
[08:54] Akudai
    First problem!
[08:55] Akudai
    Grade schooler Mayumi-chan
    started running to a junk shop
SIGN    Grade schooler Mayumi-chan started running to a junk shop
     20 kilometers away at a speed of 4 kph.
     An hour and a half after Mayumi-chan started,
     an RS400 android took off in pursuit at a speed of 90 kph.
     Mayumi-chan went straight to the junk shop,
     not knowing that if the RS400 caught up,
     it'd tear poor Mayumi-chan to pieces.
[08:58] Akudai
    20 kilometers away at a speed of 4 kph.
[09:00] Akudai
    An hour and a half after Mayumi-chan started,
[09:01] Akudai
    an RS400 android took off in
     pursuit at a speed of 90 kph.
[09:03] Akudai
    Mayumi-chan went straight to the junk shop,
[09:06] Akudai
    not knowing that if the RS400 caught up,
[09:09] Akudai
    it'd tear poor Mayumi-chan to pieces.
[09:09] Kana
    Isn't this a little long?
[09:10] Akudai
    Here's the question: Mayumi-chan
    is a girl. True or false?
[09:16] Kana
    Considering the producer and the
    runner's name, the answer has to be "true."
[09:21] Kana
    But this is a variety show. The whole point
    is making someone get the penalty.
[09:25] Kana
    So the one I gotta choose is...
[09:29] Kana
    Mud? Or super-hot water? This is
    my chance to show what I got!
[09:33] Akudai
    The correct answer is "true"!
    "False" is incorrect!
[09:34] Kana
    Come on!
[09:37] Akudai
    The penalty waiting on the other side is...
[09:40] Akudai
    A very high-quality mattress!
[09:42] Kana
    Huh?
[09:43] Akudai
    The cover of the mattress is
    made from delicate 100% silk.
SIGN    Delicate 100% Silk
SIGN    Hungarian Down
[09:47] Akudai
    The luxurious fabric will
    envelop your body in comfort.
[09:49] Akudai
    Additionally, the mattress padding
    is made of Hungarian down,
[09:53] Akudai
    giving the mattress warmth and support
[09:55] Akudai
    that will keep you comfortable even in winter.
[09:58] Kana
    Um...
[10:00] Misao
    The penalty is way too easy!
[10:03] Chitose
    What the heck? It's usually a mud pit!
[10:05] Chitose
    Or super-hot water! Or a bed of nails!
[10:07] Iroha
    Wouldn't a bed of nails be fatal?
[10:09] Akudai
    They're so strict about regulations
    and compliance these days.
[10:12] Akudai
    And personally, I don't want any
    scenes of girls getting dirty.
[10:16] Chitose
    We don't need that type of kindness!
[10:18] Chitose
    Besides, look at Kana!
[10:19] Chitose
    She froze up because she doesn't
    know how to have a funny reaction!
[10:22] Chitose
    Her body might be totally relaxed,
    but as a comedian, she's dying!
[10:26] Akudai
    Ugh, fine. In that case, I'll make
    it just a little bit painful.
[10:30] Akudai
    Next problem!

    Akari-chan is a cyborg.
SIGN    Akari-chan is a cyborg.
    While Akari-chan is defeating
    7 monsters and 47 combatants,

    While Akari-chan is defeating
    7 monsters and 47 combatants,
[10:37] Akudai
    the evil organization manufactures
    another 5 monsters and 70 combatants.
[10:40] Akudai
    Akari-chan is a girl. True or false?
[10:42] Chitose
    Seriously, that's way too much
     info for the question!
[10:45] Kana
    The answer is "true." But I gotta
    dive again for the laughs!
[10:50] Akudai
    The correct answer is "true"!
    "False" is incorrect!
[10:52] Kana
    Let me have it this time!
[10:54] Akudai
    The penalty waiting on the other side is...
[10:57] Akudai
    A very high-quality mattress
    with black feathers!
[11:00] Kana
    Huh?
[11:02] Akudai
    Jet-black feathers that suggest
    the frolicking of fallen angels.
[11:05] Akudai

[11:08] Akudai
    For people who enjoy a goth atmosphere,
[11:11] Akudai
    we recommend this lovely mattress
    covered in black feathers.
[11:14] Akudai
    Black feathers, that cringy
    symbol of adolescent angst!
[11:17] Akudai
    Doesn't that bring back painful memories?
[11:18] Chitose
    That isn't the right kind of pain!
[11:21] Kana
    I don't know how to have a
    funny reaction to this.
[11:25] Akudai
    All right! The next challenge is...
[11:28] Akudai
    "Smash-and-Helmet Rock-Paper-Scissors"!
[11:31] Akudai
    Ready? Smash-and-helmet! Rock, paper, scissors!
[11:35] Iroha
    Take that!
[11:35] Hina
    Ow!
[11:36] Miyu
    Hina! You gotta defend!
[11:38] Hina
    Easy for you to say.
[11:40] Akudai
    The loser's penalty is to
    get her face scribbled on!
[11:43] Hina
    Eh?!
[11:46] Akudai
    A deep, luscious lipstick for the fall.
[11:49] Hina
    Is this really me?
[11:51] Misao
    That's not scribbling!
[11:52] Misao
    You just gave her a makeover!
[11:54] Miyu
    Yeah! You gotta scribble "meat" or
    "poop" or something on her forehead!
[11:58] Akudai
    How could we write anything
    so crude on our girls?
[12:01] Akudai
    Compliance!
[12:03] ---
    All right, round two!
[12:05] Akudai
    Smash-and-helmet! Rock, paper, scissors!
[12:07] Iroha
    Take that!
[12:08] Hina
    Aaah!
[12:09] Akudai
    Penalty!
[12:11] Akudai
    A subtly alluring eye shadow.
[12:14] Hina
    Is this the true me?
[12:15] Miyu
    Each time she loses,
    Hina becomes more of a babe.
[12:19] Misao
    This is about as far from
    a penalty as you can get.
[12:25] Kana
    Reporters? A-Are they photographing me?
[12:28] Kana
    Oh, I gotta look pretty!
[12:30] Chitose
    No. They're only after me.
[12:33] Kana
    Huh? After you, Chitose-senpai?
    That's great!
[12:36] Chitose
    Not really. It isn't great at all.

    That was the highlight of the show!
[13:27] (Flashback) Reporter B
    Anything to say to your parents?
[13:29] Reporter A
    I guess the genius comedy duo
    DNA isn't just for show.
[13:30] Chitose
    Those people didn't come to see my routine.
[13:32] Chitose
    They came for the story about
    my ma and pa supporting me.
[13:38] Chitose
    "A real thoroughbred.
[13:39] Chitose
    Did your parents teach you comedy?
    Did they write your skits for you?"
[13:43] Chitose
    The same questions over
    and over. So annoying.
[13:46] Chitose
    Even though it's my own
    work that got me there.
[13:52] Chitose
    My old partners hated that
    and kept quitting on me.
[13:56] Chitose
    I feel pretty bad about that.
[13:57] Iroha
    So the reporters earlier...?
[14:00] Chitose
    They said they were following the miracle
    story of the "thoroughbred" high schooler
[14:03] Chitose
    who was about to dominate
    the Teppen Grand Prix.
[14:05] Chitose
    Even though there's no guarantee I'll win.
[14:08] Chitose
    It's so stupid.
[14:13] Iroha
    Why didn't you tell anyone until now?
[14:15] Chitose
    Well, it's a nuisance, right?
[14:17] Chitose
    Because of me, they might start
    spreading rumors about you, too.
[14:21] Chitose
    And if we win, they probably won't
    give us any real credit for it.
[14:25] Chitose
    I kept refusing their interview requests...
     but they're so persistent.
[14:29] Iroha
    Hmm. So you thought we'd turn
    out like your other partners?
[14:33] Iroha
    Both Kana and me?
[14:37] Chitose
    I guess so. I think I was just scared.
[14:40] Chitose
    I thought I'd end up alone
    again if you found out.
[14:44] Chitose
    That's why I just couldn't tell you.
[14:50] Chitose
    I'm sorry. I know it looks
    like I was lying to you.
[14:54] Chitose
    If you want to quit, I've got
     no right to stop you.
[14:57] Chitose
    You don't have to stay for my sake.
[15:05] Kana
    I won?
[15:06] Akudai
    Yeah. I decided to pick
    you to sing at the end.
[15:10] Kana
    But shouldn't that go to the
    girl who was funniest?
[15:14] Akudai
    Nah, it's fine, it's fine.
[15:16] Akudai
    Nobody watches girl variety
    shows to see them be funny.
[15:20] Kana
    Huh?
[15:21] Akudai
    To be honest, I don't
    really care about comedy.
[15:24] Akudai
    Girls just need to be cute.
[15:26] Akudai
    And that's what I thought
    the first time I saw you.
[15:29] Akudai
    You've got a thing about you, girl!
[15:31] Akudai
    This is our chance! With me producing,
     we'll make you an idol!

    Oh? Are you going out?

    Yeah. My folks' takoyaki restaurant
    got a huge take-out order.

    Should I go, too?
[15:51] Yomogi
    Sure, but you won't get paid for it.

    Never mind, then.

    All right, we're off.

    If it ends like this, we won't get our
    chance to sing Komon-sama's song.
[16:14] (Flashback) Misao
    No kidding. We didn't stand out at all.
[16:18] (Flashback) Miyu
    Our only chance is to do it subliminally!
[16:20] (Flashback) Hina
    What do you mean?
[16:22] (Flashback) Miyu
    We'll instill the producer's mind
     with good thoughts about Ibaraki.
[16:25] (Flashback) Miyu
    If it works, a last-minute reversal
    isn't out of the question!
[16:27] (Flashback) Misao
    But how are we gonna do it?
[16:39] Miyu
    The best way to impress him
    is with a taste of Ibaraki.
[16:42] Miyu
    Nothing beats monkfish stew for that!

    but I've suddenly developed
    an irrational hatred for Ibaraki.
[17:21] Miyu
    I-It's all in your head!
    Don't pay attention to that!
[17:24] Hina
    Looks like you just instilled hatred.

    Sure does.

    The final challenge is

[17:47] Kana
    Gotcha!
[18:13] Akudai
    Stop!
[18:14] Akudai
    What's with the primitive battle tactics?!
[18:17] Akudai
    This isn't the survival game I wanted!
[18:19] Akudai
    I mean, it isn't cute at all!
[18:22] Kana
    I don't care.
[18:23] Akudai
    Don't you wanna sing?
[18:25] Kana
    I think it would feel great.
[18:28] Kana
    But once I started singing, the big
    management companies would come knocking.
[18:31] Kana
    I'd get my idol debut, crush a coliseum tour,
     and then make it big in North America.
[18:37] Kana
    But I don't wanna be an idol!
[18:41] Kana
    I wanna do comedy!
[18:42] Akudai
    Huh?
[18:43] Kana
    When I was still living in my
    own world and creeping everyone out,
[18:47] Kana
    Chitose-senpai told me I was funny.
[18:49] Kana
    She invited me to do comedy with her!
[18:52] Kana
    She gave me a purpose.
[18:55] Chitose
    Kana...
[18:56] Kana
    I don't care about being cute.
[18:57] Kana
    I wanna stick with my awesome senpais
    and make the entire world laugh!
[19:02] Akudai
    Why am I the target?!

    Do you remember, Chitose, back when
    we started Kunoichi as a duo?

    Stop it! No, no, no!
[19:10] ---
    Get back here, you villain!
[19:10] Iroha
    We did all right, but after a while,
     it felt like we hit a wall.
[19:13] ---
    Leave me alone!
[19:14] Iroha
    That's when we found Kana.
[19:17] Iroha
    She kept acting crazy and
    screwing up our rhythm,
[19:21] Iroha
    like a bullet ricocheting all around!
[19:24] Iroha
    I thought we could go
    even further with her.
[19:27] Iroha
    That's why we teamed up, remember?
     As Bullet Kunoichi.
[19:30] Iroha
    This thing you've pulled together
[19:32] Iroha
    won't be torn apart that easily.
[19:35] Chitose
    That's right.

    We can do it. The three of us.
[19:39] Iroha
    Bust through all the adults' tiny
    imaginations and narrow boundaries,
[19:43] Iroha
    and reach even higher!

    If you guys are gonna get so
    serious about it, then so are we!

    Yeah!

    Give it all you got!
[20:01] Akudai
    I don't get it! This isn't cute at all!
[20:06] Kana
    Carrying on the family business.
[20:08] Kana
    means you're always
    compared to your parents!
[20:10] Kana
    My parents sold table fans,
[20:12] Kana
    and people always told me I didn't
    get around as much as they did.
[20:15] Iroha
    Am I doing stand-up with appliances?
[20:18] Chitose
    I get your point, but does it really
    matter who your parents are?
[20:21] Chitose
    You gotta shatter everyone's expectations
[20:23] Chitose
    and reach higher than anyone
    ever imagined you could.
[20:26] Chitose
    That's been my bright idea.
[20:27] Kana
    You're so positive, it's blinding me!
[20:29] Kana
    Did your parents do work with light bulbs?
[20:31] Chitose
    What are you on about?
[20:32] Chitose
    Time to switch you off.
