    [Mikoto and His Little Brothers]
[01:53] ---
    Yuzuki family's second son,
    Kaisei Junior High first year,
[01:57] ---
    Mikoto Yuzuki.
[01:59] ---
    A cool, calm, and collected young man...
[02:02] ---
    who has excellent grades and a
    demeanor well beyond his years.
[02:05] ---
    Indeed, as his name implies,
    he is often regarded as a sacred being.
[02:07] Sign
    [Sacred]
[02:11] ---
    He is the object of admiration
     of almost all the girls in school.
[02:19] ---
    Guys, on the other hand, think
     he's unapproachable and mysterious.
[02:23] ---
    Must be nice to be hot...
[02:25] ---
    Maybe in another life...
[02:27] ---
    That same young man has a little brother.
[02:33] ---
    Minato.
[02:37] ---
    Yuzuki family's third son,
    Kaisei Junior High first year,
[02:42] ---
    Minato Yuzuki.
[02:44] ---
    Minato and Mikoto look almost identical,
[02:47] ---
    and are both first years,
    but they aren't twins.
[02:51] ---
    As opposed to Mikoto,
[02:53] ---
    Minato is as childish and impulsive
    as a 12-year-old boy can be.
[03:00] ---
    Mikoto.
[03:02] ---
    What's wrong Minato, are you lost?
[03:04] ---
    Or did you come here to see me?
[03:05] ---
    D-don't be stupid!
[03:07] ---
    Who the heck would get lost at school?
[03:10] ---
    And as if I'd come all the way here
     to see you, what're you talking about?
[03:15] ---
    As a note, even though Minato
     and Mikoto look almost identical
[03:19] ---
    Minato does not have a flock of admirers,
     he's just a normal kid.
[03:23] ---
    I just was tryin' to go to the bathroom.
[03:26] ---
    But the much-admired superstar
    of Kaisei Junior High
[03:29] ---
    dotes heavily on his ordinary little brother.
[03:35] ---
    He has what you would call a
     severe brother complex.
[03:37] ---
    So cute.
[03:38] Sign
    [What is a brother complex?]
[03:40] ---
    Considering the general audience,
[03:43] ---
    through a short animation,
    please allow me to explain.
[03:47] ---
    Saying someone has a "brocon"
    means they have a brother complex.
[03:51] ---
    Means having a deep love or
    attachment for one's brother.
[03:55] ---
    Or, an emotional state that mixes these two.
[04:01] ---
    What is it for Mikoto Yuzuki, then?
[04:05] ---
    It's dangerous to stand there.
    I'll walk you back to class.
[04:07] ---
    What the heck do you mean "dangerous"?
[04:09] ---
    You don't understand, Minato.
     This world is full of danger.
[04:13] ---
    It's you who doesn't understand
    that you're the most dangerous!
[04:16] ---
    Even though these days Mikoto dotes on Minato
[04:20] ---
    he used to be quite annoyed with
     his little brother's fussiness.
[04:31] ---
    But one day, he understood.
[04:35] ---
    Everything his little brother did was
     because he admired his older brother
[04:39] ---
    in a slightly warped kind of affection.
[04:43] ---
    And in that moment...
[04:50] Sign
    [Fuss fuss fuss]
[04:57] ---
    He achieved Nirvana.
[04:59] ---
    Nirvana: When all worries disappear.
    A peaceful state of liberation from confusion and troubles.
[05:00] ---
    Everything in the world is so cute.
[05:04] ---
    From then on, every one of Minato's actions
     became nourishment for Mikoto.
[05:18] ---
    But there is one powerful being
    who can bring him back to earth.
[05:18] ---
    --Someone help meee!
    But there is one powerful being
    who can bring him back to earth.
[05:21] ---
    But there is one powerful being
    who can bring him back to earth.
[05:24] ---
    I'm home.
[05:26] ---
    I'm home...
[05:28] ---
    And there he is.
[05:30] ---
    Welcome home, Mikoto, Minato.
[05:34] ---
    Yuzuki family's fourth son,
     Hikariga Elementary School first grader.
[05:39] ---
    Gakuto Yuzuki
[05:43] ---
    I'm back, Gakuto!
[05:45] ---
    How are you?! It's been ages!!
[05:50] ---
    Minato, isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?
[05:53] ---
    We just said goodbye before
    school this morning.
[05:56] ---
    To me, when I don't see you,
    one minute feels like a hundred years!
[06:01] ---
    Is...is that so? That sounds rough, then.
[06:05] ---
    Minato also has a severe brother complex.
[06:08] ---
    Gakuto! Gakuto!
[06:11] ---
    
[06:25] ---
    Gakuto! Gakuto!
[06:33] ---
    Let's go back a bit, about 7 years ago.
[06:34] Sign
    [About 7 years ago]
[06:40] ---
    Where's Mama?
[06:42] ---
    Didn’t I tell you? Mom
    is going to have a baby,
[06:44] ---
    so she has to stay at the
    hospital a little while.
[06:48] ---
    No, I want Mommy!
[06:51] ---
    Don't be too loud!
[06:54] ---
    When Mom is away, Dad is
    working from home, remember?
[06:57] Sign
    (Do not enter)
[06:59] Sign
    (Father: Novelist)
[07:02] Sign
    (Father: Novelist)
     (Close to the deadline)
[07:06] ---
    Mom will come back after the baby's born.
[07:09] ---
    You're going to have a younger brother.
     Minato, you're going to be a big brother!
[07:14] ---
    I don't want a little brother! I want Mommy!!
[07:20] ---
    Mommy!!!
[07:24] ---
    Are all 6-year-olds really like this?
[07:27] ---
    Minato.
[07:32] ---
    I'll draw your favorite Power Ranger for you.
[07:35] ---
    Let's go to your room.
[07:48] ---
    T-that was amazing...
[07:54] ---
    Here, it's done.
[08:05] ---
    I... I can draw too!
[08:07] ---
    I'll draw better than you, Mikoto!
[08:14] ---
    It's done!
[08:15] ---
    Wow! So good, so good!
[08:20] ---
    Say, how about we exchange drawings?
[08:28] ---
    W-why?
[08:30] ---
    Because your drawing is better,
    I want to trade with you.
[08:34] ---
    R-really? Well if it's
    because I draw better...
[08:43] ---
    Minato calmed down a little,
    wondering if it was really true,
[08:47] ---
    I guess... let's trade, then!
[08:50] ---
    Thank you.
[08:51] ---
    After being praised, Minato felt
    so happy that he forgot why he was upset.
[09:00] ---
    Alright, let’s add this
    to my Minato collection.
[09:03] ---
    Mikoto has been unwavering ever since.
[09:08] ---
    Thus, this collection became a treasure
     trove of Minato's cringiest moments.
[09:15] ---
    Hey, Mikoto...?
[09:18] ---
    When's Mom coming back?
[09:22] ---
    He remembered again?
[09:25] ---
    Hayato said it, didn't he?
    After the baby is born.
[09:30] ---
    Then... when will the baby be born?
[09:32] ---
    Dad said in about a week.
[09:41] ---
    Hey, Mikoto...
[09:46] ---
    W...what's a little brother like?
[09:55] ---
    Hmm. Well, I think they're the
    cutest thing in the world.
[10:00] ---
    And it might be an exaggeration,
     but they're like miracles.
[10:03] ---
    No, they are nothing short of a miracle.
[10:08] ---
    Even if you're bothered by them,
    you can still forgive them.
[10:11] ---
    No, you have no choice but to forgive
    them because they're irreplaceable.
[10:18] ---
    You want to remember
    everything they do and say.
[10:21] ---
    And in order to not forget, you need to
    keep replaying all of those things in your head.
[10:27] ---
    And your body will just
    automatically do stuff like that.
[10:30] ---
    So in a way, little brothers
    are a little scary.
[10:34] ---
    No, out of everything in life,
[10:37] ---
    having a little brother brings me joy
     every second, every moment, and every day.
[10:42] ---
    Little brothers are the symbol of happiness!
[10:44] ---
    So for example...
[10:45] ---
    No, I can't give an example.
[10:47] ---
    W-what are you talking about?
[10:48] ---
    Simplify it a bit!
[10:52] ---
    Sorry. Well if I were to
    put it in one sentence....
[10:56] ---
    In my case, you were that for me, Minato.
[10:58] ---
    Our home will have a new kid like Minato.
[11:01] ---
    S-someone like me? Really?
[11:18] ---
    No... never mind.
[11:20] ---
    I don't want a little brother after all.
[11:23] ---
    Minato is more or less a little self-aware.
[11:26] ---
    He knows he hasn't been the best to Mikoto.
[11:31] ---
    Before long...
[11:38] ---
    The youngest, Gakuto, arrived at home.
[11:43] ---
    He...he's moving!
[11:45] ---
    What are you talking about? Why wouldn't he?
[11:54] ---
    His eyes are open too...
    He's looking right at me!
[11:58] ---
    He didn't move at all at the hospital!
[12:00] ---
    His face was all mushy, too!
    It was full of wrinkles!
[12:03] ---
    All mushy, huh. Well, when you saw
     him at the hospital, he was fast asleep.
[12:07] ---
    Newborns always have a bunch of wrinkles.
[12:10] ---
    You two were like this
    when you were born, too.
[12:12] ---
    No way, you're lying!
[12:15] ---
    I'm not lying!
[12:19] ---
    Are they really that tiny?
[12:21] ---
    I was still so little when Minato was born.
[12:24] ---
    So of course I don't remember anything.
[12:32] ---
    So soft...
[12:34] ---
    Come, Minato, there's
    nothing to be scared of.
[12:37] ---
    I-I'm not scared!
[12:38] ---
    Stop sayin' stuff like that!
[12:42] ---
    Look, see?
[12:44] ---
    S...stop!
[12:44] ---
    Stop! Lemme go!
[12:47] ---
    It's going to be okay.
[12:48] ---
    It's scary!
[13:09] ---
    Minato?
[13:30] ---
    A little brother!
[13:35] ---
    This kid, Gakuto, is my little brother!
[13:40] ---
    Gakuto, I'm your big brother!
[13:45] ---
    Gakuto, aren't you so cute?
[13:53] ---
    From that day on, Mikoto and
    Minato's day-to-day lives changed.
[13:59] ---
    Mom, is that Gakuto's milk?
[14:02] ---
    I can feed him, I can feed him!
[14:03] ---
    Oh, are you sure?
[14:04] ---
    Yes!
[14:06] ---
    He can't move his head yet,
    so remember to hold it still.
[14:14] ---
    Gakuto, is it good?
[14:16] ---
    Drink more and grow up quicker!
[14:19] ---
    Then we can go outside and play tons!
[14:22] ---
    Oh my gosh, this is so cute!
[14:24] ---
    Littlies taking care of littlies!
[14:27] ---
    Hayato, take some pictures!
[14:30] ---
    I'm already recording a video.
[14:32] ---
    Gakuto is drinking milk so calmly!
[14:36] ---
    Minato, let's go play ball in the park.
[14:41] ---
    I'm busy right now.
[14:45] ---
    Then let's go after you're done.
[14:47] ---
    After I'm done I gotta sing him
    a lullaby, so I can't go outside.
[14:52] ---
    How about we draw together, then?
[14:53] ---
    No, I wanna take a nap with Gakuto.
[14:58] ---
    Minato, aren't you being
    such a good big brother?
[15:03] ---
    Mikoto, how about going to the park with me?
[15:06] ---
    Let's go play soccer!
[15:08] ---
    No thanks. I'm heading out myself.
[15:19] ---
    Wait for me!
[15:23] ---
    Everything had changed, Mikoto realized.
[15:28] ---
    --Mikoto, where are you going?
[15:28] ---
    For the longest time, Minato had
    always been stuck to Mikoto.
[15:30] ---
    --Mine's better than Mikoto's!
[15:32] ---
    --Mikoto!
[15:33] ---
    Even though he acted mean,
    he still would always follow Mikoto.
[15:34] ---
    --Mikoto!
[15:36] ---
    --Mikoto!
[15:39] ---
    Mikoto even thought sometimes about
     wanting to be alone for a little bit.
[15:44] ---
    But now Minato has turned his
    attention to his new little brother.
[15:49] ---
    And there seemed to be no room for
    Mikoto in Minato's eyes anymore.
[15:55] ---
    I miss how things used to be...
[16:05] ---
    But still, I'm sure...
    it'll probably be fine.
[16:19] ---
    Minato, you'll catch a cold if
    you sleep with your hair wet.
[16:28] ---
    He must have spent all his
    energy taking care of Gakuto.
[16:34] ---
    Mikoto...
[16:37] ---
    Mikoto's a liar.
[16:40] ---
    What do you mean?
[16:42] ---
    You said that the new little
     brother would be a kid like me.
[16:48] ---
    But Gakuto's not like me
    at all. He's just so cute.
[16:56] ---
    No matter what Gakuto does,
    I'll never get mad at him.
[17:02] ---
    I'll be happy as long as I'm with him.
[17:08] ---
    Little brothers are so nice, Mikoto...
[17:24] ---
    You don't understand at all, do you?
[17:28] ---
    To me, however cute you think Gakuto is,
     I think you're just as cute.
[17:36] ---
    With how Minato usually is,
    I thought after he got used
[17:40] ---
    to our new brother, he
    would lose interest in him.
[17:50] ---
    But if he feels the same way I do,
     maybe it won't be like that.
[18:23] ---
    Just as Mikoto thought...
[18:25] Sign
    [Present Day]
[18:26] ---
    Even after 7 years...
[18:28] ---
    Gakuto, Gakuto, Gakutooo!
[18:32] ---
    Minato's love for Gakuto never
    changed, it only grew deeper.
[18:37] ---
    And standing behind him,
    Mikoto is troubled by negative thoughts.
[18:41] Sign
    [Jealousy]
[18:46] ---
    M-Minato, thank you!
[18:49] ---
    I understand how you feel now.
[18:51] ---
    Please go get changed. Hayato said we
    are having fried pork chops tonight.
[18:56] ---
    He'll definitely need help
    with breading the pork.
[18:59] ---
    What a kind and considerate
    little brother you are!
[19:02] ---
    I expect nothing less from my little brother!
     I'll go get changed right away!
[19:09] ---
    I always think about how
    Minato must love you a ton.
[19:14] ---
    I know, right? I didn’t expect
    him to dote on me so much.
[19:17] ---
    I feel very fortunate.
[19:20] ---
    But no matter how much Minato likes
     you, I have spent more time with him.
[19:31] ---
    But of course. No matter how much time
     passes, that is an unshakable fact.
[19:37] ---
    It's not my place to get in between
    two people so close in age.
[19:43] ---
    Indeed, your relationship is really enviable.
[19:46] ---
    Mikoto saw before him the heavens
    opening up behind Gakuto.
[19:52] ---
    Gakuto Lao Tzu...
[20:00] ---
    Mikoto, what are you doing in my room?
[20:03] ---
    Nothing, I just feel like my
    discipline has been lacking.
[20:07] ---
    D-discipline?
[20:10] ---
    I continue to grapple with this to no avail.
[20:15] ---
    Well, Gakuto is also my cute little brother.
[20:20] ---
    So I should feel happy that my two cute
     little brothers are getting along so well.
[20:28] ---
    Taking it as a win no matter what happens,
[20:31] ---
    this is the Nirvana of one
    with a brother complex.
[20:35] ---
    I don't really get it, but...
    Can you help me bread the pork?

    Incidental Knowledge Corner
[22:24] ---
    Hi everyone, I'm Ladybug!
[22:25] ---
    I'm Stag Beetle!
[22:26] ---
    Long time no see!
[22:27] ---
    Let's begin today's Incidental
    Knowledge Corner!
[22:30] ---
    Where we tell everyone very valuable
    information about the four Yuzuki brothers.
[22:34] ---
    Hey, hey...
[22:36] ---
    What?
[22:38] ---
    I think I figured out something!
[22:40] ---
    What's with you all of a sudden?
[22:43] ---
    Isn’t this Corner only held sometimes?
[22:46] ---
    Yeah?
[22:47] ---
    Could it be cuz those episodes
    are not long enough?
[22:50] ---
    Anyway! We will tell everyone
    much valuable information
[22:53] ---
    about the four Yuzuki brothers!!
[22:55] ---
    Today we have very valuable intel!
[22:57] ---
    Let's talk about the personalities
    of the Kirishima family members!
[23:00] ---
    Grandpa Kojiro is quiet and reserved.
[23:03] ---
    I already knew that, though.
[23:04] ---
    Saki is an innocent and trustworthy auntie!
[23:07] ---
    I think so too!
[23:09] ---
    Uta is a muscle-brained idiot who
    doesn't sweat the small stuff!
[23:11] ---
    Does she have nothing
    else to her personality??
[23:14] ---
    Hey...this isn't really valuable
    intel at all, though...
[23:19] ---
    Waka is very calm. He's more
    mature than everyone thinks.
[23:21] ---
    Huh, really??
[23:23] ---
    This valuable corner lets
    you learn all sorts of
[23:25] ---
    unexpected sides to the characters
     that we couldn't see much in the episode!
[23:31] ---
    Guess that's pretty much it!
[23:32] ---
    We're totally not here to fill time!!
[23:35] ---
    Bye bye!
