* This remote tropical island*
* is known only to a select few*
**[01:42] Mitsugu**
* and completely unknown to*
* those unfamiliar with it.*
**[01:46] Mitsugu**
* The last paradise on earth,*
* not found on any map.*
**[01:49] Mitsugu**
*Unbaba Island.*
**[01:59] Mitsugu**
* This heavenly sight would*
* excite anyone, not just men.*
**[02:05] Mitsugu**
* Unbaba Island is the site of the*
* Blood Donation Club's training camp.*
**[02:11] Mitsugu**
*The midsummer sun, blue seas, white beaches,*
**[02:15] Mitsugu**
* and beautiful young women clad in swimwear*
* essential to any summer seaside.*
**[02:24] Mitsugu**
*Though there are some oddballs present, too.*
**[02:27] Mitsugu**
*And some we could've done without.*
**[02:31] Mitsugu**
*And creepy ones.*
**[02:34] Mitsugu**
* However, either way, the Blood Donation Club*
* has this marvelous beach all to itself.*
**[02:43] Mitsugu**
* Our path to this intoxicating world*
* started with a certain website...*

Blood Donation Club (Temp)
**[02:51] Chihiro**
A training camp?
**[02:54] All**
Yes, ma'am.
**[02:55] Chihiro**
A Blood Donation Club's training camp?
**[02:59] Chihiro**
Are you going to train with syringes?
**[03:01] Chihiro**
You need government
certification to use these.
**[03:06] Chihiro**
Find the vein beneath the skin,
take aim, and plunge it in.
**[03:11] Chihiro**
Stimpak!
**[03:13] Chihiro**
Rather, gently slide the needle in.
**[03:18] Chihiro**
Words can't describe that moment of bliss.
**[03:21] Chihiro**
Did you think a bunch of high school
students would get to do that, you fools?
**[03:25] Mitsugu**
That's not what I had in mind.
**[03:27] Kanbara**
Doctor, a club training camp...
**[03:29] Horita**
Takes place on a summer beach in Okinawa.
**[03:31] Okada**
Club members dress in swimwear...
**[03:33] All**
...and enjoy good clean fun
with the opposite sex.
**[03:37] Jinko**
I'll kick you brutes out of the club!
**[03:39] Mitsugu**
Again, that's not what I had in mind.
**[03:41] Kanbara**
Once night falls...
**[03:43] Horita**
We'll party and drink beer.
**[03:44] Okada**
And have fun horsing around.
**[03:46] Nami**
Not that.
**[03:48] Maki**
We'll enjoy discussing our youth.
**[03:50] Kaoru**
And deepen our friendship through
cheerful club activities.
**[03:53] Chihiro**
In other words, you want to
go on a trip and cut loose.
**[03:59] All**
Exactly.
**[04:00] Chihiro**
Fools!
**[04:03] Chihiro**
We don't have the budget for that.
**[04:06] Chihiro**
We were just barely able to
establish a night school.
**[04:08] Chihiro**
Not only that, but the school
hasn't given a single cent
**[04:12] Chihiro**
to this educationally useless
Blood Donation Club.
**[04:22] Chihiro**
You're not listening!

First come, first served.
Limited to first 12 customers.
**[05:06] Jinko**
Campaign running now.
**[05:08] Chihiro**
That's cheap. Or rather, super cheap.
No, insanely cheap.
**[05:13] Mitsugu**
Right?
**[05:13] Mai**
I'm definitely going.
**[05:16] Kaoru**
I'm going.
**[05:17] Nami**
I'd be willing to visit a tropical island.
**[05:19] Maki**
I'll be coming along for the Cinema Club's
first overseas on-location shoot.
**[05:24] Jinko**
Men and women camping together on a
tropical island is a potential minefield.
**[05:27] Jinko**
I'll keep close watch over everyone.
***SIGN*** Tongue

**[05:34] All**
Monsters can't come.
**[05:36] All**
Don't discriminate.
**[05:37] Chihiro**
Shut up, all of you.
**[05:39] Chihiro**
It goes without saying that the club advisor
**[05:41] Chihiro**
is required to participate
in any training camps.
**[05:43] Chihiro**
I'll have to join you, as well.
**[05:46] All**
Yeah!
**[05:48] Mitsugu**
* And that's how we wasted no time*
* planning our training camp.*
**[05:52] Mitsugu**
* Perhaps we should've noticed at this point*
* that there was reason it was so cheap,*
**[05:57] Mitsugu**
* and that Heaven and Hell were just*
* one step away from each other.*
**[06:11] Maki**
Since it was such a cheap package,
I wasn't expecting a direct flight...
**[06:16] Nami**
But we've been traveling in reverse in the hold
of a less than 50-ton converted fishing vessel.
**[06:21] Jinko**
It takes three days and
two nights to get there.
**[06:24] Kaoru**
Which means it'll also take three
days and two nights to get back.
**[06:27] Chihiro**
Then our stay on the island will
only two days and one night.
**[06:32] Katsuno**
The only thing to do is puke.
**[06:42] Mitsugu**
However, once we arrived, it was
undoubtedly a blissful paradise.
**[06:55] Maki**
Nice. Very nice.
**[06:58] Maki**
I'm impressed by this 4K 240FPS HS camera.
**[07:02] Mitsugu**
Mai, we're heading back.
**[07:06] Mitsugu**
No matter how well we protect you from
UV rays, they're still not good for you.
**[07:11] Mai**
Okay.
**[07:14] Nami**
I'm going for another swim.
**[07:18] Mitsugu**
* Leaving the Okinawan fisherman's*
* daughter Nami behind,*
**[07:21] Mitsugu**
*we headed back to our lodgings.*
**[07:24] Mitsugu**
* We had no idea that this would*
* lead to that tragedy later.*
**[07:31] Sign**
Fishman
**[07:34] Mitsugu**
* However, there wasn't a shred of fantasy*

**[07:38] Mitsugu**
*that dragged us back to reality.*
**[07:42] Old Woman**
Welcome.
**[07:49] Old Woman**
Please make yourselves at home.
**[07:55] Kanbara**
Um, what about the crowds of
beautiful women you advertised?
**[08:00] Old Woman**
That's next month's campaign.
**[08:03] Okada**
Which means...
**[08:05] Horita**
This inn...
**[08:07] Old Woman**
Indeed. I barely manage
to run this place myself.
**[08:11] Old Woman**
There's a long sad history.
**[08:15] Kanbara**
Okay, okay. Spare us the history lesson.
**[08:18] Okada**
It's almost refreshing
to be this disappointed.
**[08:21] Okada**
Right, guys?
**[08:22] Katsuno**
How is this refreshing?
**[08:24] Katsuno**
Who's going to take responsibility for this?
**[08:26] Kaoru**
You guys were so excited earlier.
**[08:28] Maki**
I knew it sounded too good to be true.
**[08:31] Kanbara**
It only cost 10,000 yen. Just give it up.
**[08:33] Okada**
No way. I paid an entire
10,000 yen for this.
**[08:35] Horita**
In this day and age, living without a shower,
refrigerator, or TV is a valuable experience.
**[08:40] Jinko**
Are you crying?
**[08:41] Maki**
Now that I get a closer look, this place
does have a certain rare charm to it.
**[08:45] Chihiro**
Exactly. As long as we're here,
let's enjoy ourselves to the fullest extent.
**[08:50] Chihiro**
By the way, you minors will be
drinking Pepchi and castor oil.
**[08:54] Chihiro**
We follow the broadcast code on this show.
***SIGN*** Self-censored
**[09:04] Mitsugu**
Anyway, why are we the only guests here
when you've got that marvelous beach?
**[09:10] Old Woman**
There's a lot of reasons for that.
**[09:15] Old Woman**
Anyway, I'll let you know
once dinner is ready.
**[09:23] Old Woman**
My tongue!
**[09:27] Sign**
Charging
**[09:34] Chihiro**
Anyway...
**[09:36] Maki**
Nami's still not here.
**[09:38] Kaoru**
I doubt Nami of all people drowned.
**[09:42] Kanbara**
We didn't see anyone on the beach.
**[09:45] Jinko**
But we did find this.
**[09:50] Okada**
She went skinny dipping in the sea at night?
**[09:52] Kaoru**
It's the sea at night that
makes skinny dipping possible.
**[09:54] Horita**
So bold.
**[09:56] Katsuno**
Let's go look for her.
**[09:59] Jinko**
It's obvious what your ulterior motive is!
**[10:01] Chihiro**
This might be a serious situation.
**[10:05] Chihiro**
She may be a fisherman's daughter,
**[10:06] Chihiro**
but it's hard to imagine Nami
would do something so dangerous.
**[10:10] Mitsugu**
Did a shark get her?
**[10:11] Maki**
Jaws? No, Jason?
**[10:16] Old Woman**
Could it be?!
**[10:21] Mitsugu**
Please don't suddenly show up like that!
**[10:25] Old Woman**
I hate to think that's what happened, but...
**[10:27] Chihiro**
Ma'am, is there something on that beach?
**[10:31] Old Woman**
He shows up once every
decade during hot summers.
**[10:35] Old Woman**
It could be him.
**[10:38] Maki**
Could it be?
**[10:39] Kaoru**
The Predator.
**[10:41] Chihiro**
Stop making jokes that
will get us in trouble.
**[10:45] Old Woman**
It happened about 500 years ago.
**[10:50] Old Woman**
In an impoverished fishing
village on the island,
**[10:54] Old Woman**
there was an astonishingly beautiful girl.
**[11:03] Old Woman**
She refused to listen to any of the
numerous marriage proposals made to her.
**[11:08] Old Woman**
Day after day, she dove into
the sea to support her family.
**[11:14] Old Woman**
And one day, at the bottom of the sea...
**[11:19] Old Woman**
...something grabbed her!
**[11:22] Katsuno**
Grabbed her? She was eaten?
**[11:25] Old Woman**
Grabbed...
**[11:27] Old Woman**
...her heart! Falling in love!
**[11:33] Old Woman**
He was a strapping young man, but he was
neither a villager nor a fisherman.
**[11:40] Old Woman**
Not only that, but...
**[11:42] Old Woman**
...he wasn't even human!
**[11:47] Katsuno**
Could we stop with the sudden close-ups?
**[11:50] Chihiro**
Ma'am, please continue.
**[11:53] Old Woman**
They spent what little time they had
together while the girl's breath lasted,
**[11:58] Old Woman**
but alas, she was only human.
**[12:01] Old Woman**
On top of that, the seaweed wrapped around
them blocked the young man from view.
**[12:06] Old Woman**
Overcome with grief,
the girl said the following.
**[12:09] Old Woman**
"Meet me on the beach at night.
I want to get a good look at you."
**[12:15] Old Woman**
"Won't you please come see me?"
**[12:20] Old Woman**
The creature that came to meet the
girl waiting on the deserted beach
**[12:27] Old Woman**
was horrifying in appearance.
***SIGN*** He Was a Fishman
**[12:44] Old Woman**
Since then, on hot summer nights,
**[12:48] Old Woman**
a horrifying fishman appears
to kidnap beautiful girls
**[12:52] Old Woman**
and drag them to the bottom of the sea.
**[12:55] Mitsugu**
Hot summers? When's the
last time he appeared?
**[13:00] Old Woman**
It was hot last year, as well.
**[13:02] Old Woman**
And the year before that,
and the year before that.
**[13:05] Kaoru**
That's every year.
**[13:06] Old Woman**
Indeed. He comes every year.
**[13:08] Mitsugu**
Didn't you say earlier that
he comes once every decade?
**[13:11] Old Woman**
I'm old. I'm not very good
with numbers anymore.
**[13:14] Kanbara**
Come on, you're not Daijiro Morohoshi.
**[13:16] Horita**
And this isn't a Hollywood
B-movie horror film.
**[13:19] Maki**
What are you talking about,
bunnies with bright red eyes?
**[13:22] Maki**
*Creature from the Black Lagoon* is a masterpiece.
**[13:25] Maki**
Its sequel *Revenge of the Creature* aside,
**[13:28] Maki**
the underwater scenes and creature
costume are incredible.
**[13:32] Okata**
She's doing it again.
**[13:33] Kaoru**
The fishmen in *The Terror Beneath
the Sea* were good, too.
**[13:36] Maki**
You can't discuss *The Terror Beneath the Sea*
**[13:39] Maki**
without mentioning blonde
tokusatsu actress Peggy Neal.
**[13:42] Horita**
We've gone from fishmen to blondes.
**[13:44] Kanbara**
Someone stop her.
**[13:44] Okada**
Just leave her be.
**[13:45] Maki**
Oh, Miss Peggy Neal.
**[13:47] Maki**
You were beautiful in
*The X from Outer Space*, as well.
**[13:51] Maki**
By the way, director Hajime Sato
**[13:53] Maki**
also produced the masterpiece
*Goke, Body Snatcher from Hell*.
**[13:55] Chihiro**
Body snatcher, huh?
**[13:57] Chihiro**
Then perhaps it wouldn't be so strange
if Nami were kidnapped by a fishman.
**[14:02] Mitsugu**
What do you mean?
**[14:03] Chihiro**
Think about it.
**[14:05] Chihiro**
We're already involved
with a vampire named Mai.
**[14:09] Chihiro**
This is fate.
**[14:11] Chihiro**
Perhaps these two non-human creatures
seek to meet each other.
**[14:14] Chihiro**
What is this if not fate?
**[14:17] Mitsugu**
That's ridiculous.
**[14:18] Chihiro**
Call it whatever you want.
**[14:20] Chihiro**
This story has been
ridiculous from the start.
**[14:23] Jinko**
Regardless of the reason,
we need to save Nami.
**[14:26] Okata**
She's got a foul mouth,
but she's still beautiful.
**[14:29] Horita**
And she's definitely a woman.
**[14:31] Kanbara**
We'll have to recapture her.
**[14:34] Katsuno**
It's the only thing to do.
**[14:36] All**
Yeah!
**[14:43] Kaoru**
Fishman, fishman, fishman!
**[14:49] Maki**
This 4K camera is impressive.
**[14:52] Maki**
The image remains smooth even
while using the digital zoom.
**[14:54] Chihiro**
Anyway, he still hasn't shown up.
**[14:57] Kanbara**
Maybe our bait isn't attractive enough.
**[14:59] Okada**
Fishmen love beautiful women.
**[15:02] Horita**
Which means a fishman wouldn't
kidnap another fishman.
**[15:05] Chihiro**
We'll have to use...
**[15:07] Maki**
Unfortunately, I'm obligated
to document this event.
**[15:11] Horita**
Nobody asked you.
**[15:12] Katsuno**
I doubt the fishman would get turned
on by Jinko in her school swimsuit.
**[15:16] Chihiro**
I may be beautiful,
but I'm not a young girl.
**[15:19] Maki**
In Hollywood movies, they like blondes.
**[15:22] Chihiro**
Which means...
**[15:26] Mitsugu**
No! Absolutely not Mai!
**[15:29] Mai**
Not a problem. No problemo.
**[15:32] Mitsugu**
Mai.
**[15:33] Mai**
This is for Nami.
**[15:35] Mai**
And besides, the fishman is half human.
**[15:39] Mai**
A vampire and a fishman.
**[15:41] Mai**
If we speak to each other
as humanoid minorities,
**[15:44] Mai**
I'm sure we can come to an understanding.
**[15:46] Mitsugu**
That doesn't make any sense.
**[15:47] Chihiro**
Well spoken. Come on, let's do
this before she changes her mind.
**[15:52] All**
Yeah!
**[16:02] Kanbara**
Good! So good!
**[16:04] Okada**
It's too much!
**[16:05] Horita**
My nose won't stop bleeding!
**[16:06] Katsuno**
Looks like I'm needed.
**[16:09] Katsuno**
I, Perseus Katsuno, shall protect Mai.
**[16:13] Kaoru**
Mai's Andromeda is captivating,
but her cosplay isn't revealing enough.
**[16:17] Chihiro**
We had to self-censor ourselves
due to rating issues.
**[16:22] Mitsugu**
How can you guys be this
laid-back during an emergency?
**[16:26] Chihiro**
He's coming.
**[16:26] Mitsugu**
What? He's already here?
**[16:30] Kanbara**
He came immediately.
**[16:31] Okada**
He's on his way.
**[16:32] Horita**
He came in the blink of an eye.
**[16:35] Mitsugu**
As expected, he couldn't
resist Mai's charms.
**[16:38] Chihiro**
Fishmen are so easy to read.
**[16:41] Kaoru**
This kind of stings.
**[16:43] Mitsugu**
Huh?
**[16:50] Kanbara**
It's not that he's not scary-looking.
**[16:53] Horita**
He just looks stupid, too.
**[16:55] Kaoru**
And creepy.
**[16:56] Chihiro**
Well, he certainly is half-man.
**[16:59] Jinko**
This is awful.
**[17:00] Maki**
Regardless, he's definitely a monster.
**[17:03] Katsuno**
Out of the way!
**[17:05] Katsuno**
I'll kill you, you fish bastard!
**[17:21] Kaoru**
I knew that would happen.
**[17:23] Chihiro**
It didn't work.
**[17:30] Mitsugu**
Mai is in danger!
**[17:31] Kanbara**
Wait. If the captain can't beat him,
there's no way an ordinary human can.
**[17:35] Horita**
We'll have to unleash Franken!
**[17:37] Horita**
But he's still charging!
**[17:44] Kaoru**
He's 80% charged.
**[17:46] Mitsugu**
This is an emergency.
**[17:48] Mitsugu**
Franken, activate!
**[17:50] Mitsugu**
Save Mai!
**[17:51] Maki**
If he's not fully charged,
he might start decomposing.
**[17:55] Maki**
And that would be a really rotten time.

**[20:32] Jinko**
Don't act like you did anything to help.
**[20:35] Chihiro**
But ma'am, why do you sacrifice
young girls to him?
**[20:38] Old Woman**
Lately, Fishy hasn't been showing
up, no matter how much I call him.
**[20:43] Chihiro**
Lately?
**[20:45] Old Woman**
Since about 480 years ago.
**[20:49] Koaru**
Makes sense to me.
**[20:50] Jinko**
Men are the worst.
**[20:52] Mitsugu**
Regardless, I'm glad Mai is all right.
**[20:55] Maki**
What are you talking about?
**[20:56] Maki**
Nami is still missing.
**[20:58] Mitsugu**
Oh, I forgot.
**[21:00] Kaoru**
Did he eat her?
**[21:03] Old Woman**
How dare you?!
**[21:04] Old Woman**
Fishy isn't a savage fishman!
**[21:08] Jinko**
Then where's Nami?

Boy, that was tough.
**[21:19] Nami**
This guy's stomach stinks.
**[21:22] Nami**
I wonder if he's got gastroxynsis.

Nami, you're alive.
**[21:26] All**
Naked! Naked! Naked!
**[21:27] Nami**
Yeah. I'm back.
**[21:29] Chihiro**
Truly a fisherman's daughter.
**[21:32] Jinko**
I can't believe she made it
back from a fishman's stomach.
**[21:34] Kaoru**
She's got guts.

In order to minimize information leaks,
**[23:49] Mitsugu**
on the condition that even our blood
brothers and sisters would be excluded,
**[23:53] Mitsugu**
I agreed to help Maki make her movie.
