[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?
**[22:20] ---**
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!
