**[00:04] Masaki**
* We've been waiting and waiting*
* for this summer vacation!*
**[00:07] Masaki**
*It's the beginning of Shonan's top season,*
**[00:09] Masaki**
* and, of course, I'm going to be immersed*
* in surfing all day every day.*
**[00:13] Masaki**
Wow! It's crowded again today!
**[00:19] Naoya**
Come, o Azure Wolf!
**[00:21] Naoya**
Passionate Sapphire!
**[00:27] Masaki**
Naoya!
**[00:29] Masaki**
Your board really stands out,
so I knew it was you right away, Naoya.
**[00:32] Masaki**
And your tricks are as cool as ever!
**[00:35] Masaki**
So what brought you here all of a sudden?
**[00:38] Naoya**
Fanmeet.
**[00:39] Masaki**
Fanmeet?
**[00:40] Naoya**
A fan meeting.
**[00:42] Naoya**
A fanmeet for Miruru.
**[00:44] Masaki**
Really?
**[00:45] Masaki**
So, that's why you made the trip
to the big city all the way from Oita?
**[00:48] Naoya**
Yeah. Also, to watch this
season's anime in real time.
**[00:51] Naoya**
I really hate getting
spoiled on social media.
**[00:54] Masaki**
I see you love anime as much as ever.
**[00:57] Naoya**
I have to get going soon.
**[00:59] Masaki**
Later!

**[02:41] Yuta**
So, this is Oita's famous
candied pomelo peel, is it?
**[02:47] Yuta**
It's good!
**[02:48] Masaki**
Yeah! It'd run a pretty close race
with dried sweet potatoes!
**[02:51] Kosuke**
You really bought a lot there.
**[02:58] Tadao**
So cute!
**[03:03] Masaki**
The one that's on now is
*Miruru Chronicle*, right?
**[03:06] Naoya**
Yeah.
**[03:07] Masaki**
When Sakura was little,
she really loved Miruru, too.
**[03:11] Masaki**
I started watching recently
because of Naoya. It's pretty fun.
**[03:16] Naoya**
*Magical Maid Miruru* appeals
to everyone from children to adults!
**[03:19] Naoya**
It's a super popular
magical girl anime series!
**[03:22] Naoya**
Every year, the worldview
and buddies may change,
**[03:24] Naoya**
but having Miruru as the lead
is consistent and never changes.
**[03:27] Naoya**
Miruru is an eternal and immortal existence!
**[03:31] Naoya**
And it's an ambitious project that defies
the conventional wisdom of the industry.
**[03:35] Naoya**
I really do want you to watch it
properly from the first season.
**[03:38] Naoya**
The season I recommend
the most is the second, but...
**[03:40] Kosuke**
I-I see.
**[03:41] Yuta**
Naoya-san, it seems that Miruru lies
at the center of your world.
**[03:45] Masaki**
At the center of my world is...
**[03:49] Masaki**
Right now, it's this!
**[03:50] Masaki**
Forest Cup in Tsurigasaki!
**[03:53] Masaki**
I'm going to win this no matter what!
**[03:55] Naoya**
Really? Win? Well, do your best then.
**[03:57] Masaki**
Naoya! You're my rival too, understand?
**[04:00] Masaki**
I haven't forgotten
that I lost to you in Oarai!
**[04:03] Masaki**
Next time, I will beat you!
**[04:06] Naoya**
There's no way we'll lose, is there, Miruru?
**[04:10] Naoya**
After all, Miruru is my guardian spirit.
**[04:12] Naoya**
Dreams and hope... Miruru is the one
who taught me about all of that.
**[04:17] Masaki**
So I have to beat
the two of you together, huh?
**[04:19] Masaki**
You really are a tough opponent.
**[04:23] Naoya**
We're going to start the viewing party soon.
**[04:25] Naoya**
Starting with season one.
**[04:27] ---**
Let's see...
***SIGN*** Magical Maid

***SIGN*** Magical Maid

**[04:39] Miruru**
Possibilities...
**[04:40] MaiMai**
...are infinite!
**[04:41] both**
MiruMiru! MaiMai!
**[04:44] both**
Revolution Change!
**[04:58] Miruru**
This is our final battle!
**[05:00] MaiMai**
We will not be defeated
by any twists of fate!
**[05:03] Miruru**
Together, we will overcome any pain!
**[05:46] Yuta**
Naoya-san?
**[05:48] Masaki**
What's wrong?
**[05:51] Naoya**
Two things I thought would always
be there... waves and my fave...
**[05:57] Masaki**
Naoya?
**[05:59] Naoya**
Miruru... might end this year.
**[06:02] everyone**
What?
**[06:02] Naoya**
Last night, I was texting some people
I met at the fanmeet, and it came up.
**[06:09] Naoya**
And now that they mention it,
**[06:10] Naoya**
the "chronicle" in the title does seem
to have some hidden significance,
**[06:13] Naoya**
and there are episodes
that seem to foreshadow it,
**[06:15] Naoya**
and it's the fifth year,
so it's a good place to stop.
**[06:18] Masaki**
I don't really understand, but...
**[06:20] Masaki**
There hasn't been
an announcement yet, right?
**[06:23] Yuta**
Theories are just theories in the end.
**[06:25] Yuta**
Until there's an official announcement,
it's better not to think too much about it.
**[06:28] Kosuke**
For now, you should pour
everything you've got into practice.
**[06:32] Masaki**
All right!
**[06:36] Yuta**
Hup!
**[06:38] Kosuke**
Yeah!
**[06:53] Naoya**
Miruru!
**[07:03] Naoya**
I'm heading in.
**[07:04] Masaki**
I wonder if Naoya's okay...
**[07:09] Masaki**
How cute!
**[07:10] Masaki**
Just like Isokichi...
**[07:11] Masaki**
Huh? Isokichi?
**[07:18] Masaki**
Whoa...
**[07:20] Masaki**
How did you get here?
**[07:21] Sakura**
Big Brother!
**[07:27] Masaki**
Huh? Sakura?
**[07:31] Masaki**
Take that!
**[07:32] Masaki's mom**
He's amazing!
**[07:38] Tadao**
Welcome, ladies!
**[07:42] Sakura**
Yay!
**[07:43] Tadao**
Yay! Hug me! Hug me!
**[07:47] Kosuke**
It's been a while.
**[07:49] Yuta**
We haven't seen you since the party
after the competition in Oarai, right?
**[07:53] Masaki's mom**
I'm happy to see you again.
**[07:54] Sakura**
I'm so sorry for all the trouble
my brother always causes you.
**[07:57] Masaki**
What? Why is that the first thing
you're saying to them?
**[07:59] Masaki**
Honestly. If you're coming,
you should tell me you're coming!
**[08:01] Masaki's mom**
Tadao-san and I talked
and decided to make it a surprise.
**[08:05] Masaki's mom**
Right?
**[08:06] Tadao**
Yes!
**[08:07] Tadao**
No surprise, no life!
**[08:10] Sakura**
You've gotten better
at surfing, Big Brother!
**[08:12] Masaki**
Of course I have!
**[08:14] Masaki**
I'm aiming for the world, after all!
**[08:16] Masaki's mom**
Oh, that's right!
**[08:17] Masaki's mom**
I was given a message to pass on to you.
**[08:23] Masaki**
Huh?
**[08:24] Shoko**
Masaki-kun! You doing okay?
**[08:27] manager**
Have you gotten used to Shonan?
**[08:29] Shoko**
We're planning to go see
the competition in Chiba.
**[08:31] Shoko**
Make sure you practice hard, okay?
**[08:33] manager**
You're Oarai's rising star! Aim for the top!
**[08:37] Masaki**
He said I'm a "rising star"!
**[08:39] Masaki**
Shoko-san! Manager!
**[08:41] Masaki**
I'm going to bring
the winner's cup home to Oarai!
**[09:02] Sakura**
There he goes,
acting all cocky again. Right?
**[09:04] Masaki**
Just...
**[09:08] Sakura**
Is my big brother's board
just like my big brother?
**[09:10] Tadao**
Yeah!
**[09:11] Tadao**
Even when he's way out in the ocean,
you know it's him right away.
**[09:14] Yuta**
Your personality tends to show through.
**[09:15] Sakura**
Oh, right!
**[09:16] Sakura**
Naoya-san, your board is really cute!
**[09:19] Sakura**
When I was little, I really loved Miruru!
**[09:25] Naoya**
I'll be going now.
**[09:49] Masaki**
Really... So, you noticed, too, huh?
**[09:52] Sakura**
Yeah.
**[09:53] Masaki**
Naoya is really depressed.
**[09:57] Masaki**
He said the *Miruru* anime might end.
**[09:59] Sakura**
What? That's a shocker.
**[10:01] Masaki**
I want to help brighten
his mood somehow, but...
**[10:06] Masaki**
I know!
**[10:07] Masaki**
Tomorrow, you and mom
are going sightseeing in Shonan, right?
**[10:10] Sakura**
Yeah.
**[10:11] Masaki**
Then let's take Naoya and all
go on a "country bumpkins" tour.
**[10:15] Masaki**
If we run around shouting and having fun,
it should be a good change of pace.
**[10:18] Masaki**
Right!
**[10:23] Naoya**
I'm not really interested in sightseeing.
**[10:25] Masaki**
Come on. Since you're here, why not?
**[10:29] Kosuke**
I didn't know there was a path like this.
**[10:30] Masaki**
Huh? This is your hometown,
but you didn't know?
**[10:33] Masaki**
Yuta either?
**[10:34] Yuta**
You wouldn't think it, but it's true.
**[10:36] Sakura**
The Enoshima Iwaya Caves are a cave
system created by wave erosion.
**[10:40] Sakura**
They're one of the things
people must see in Enoshima!
**[10:42] Yuta**
You're very well-versed in this.
**[10:46] Sakura**
I've checked everything in detail!
**[10:53] Masaki**
The walkways in Shonan sure
are fancy, aren't they?
**[10:56] Masaki**
Not like Oarai or Oita.
**[10:58] Masaki**
Right?
**[10:59] Naoya**
Could you not lump them together, please?
**[11:02] Masaki**
Oh, right!
**[11:03] Masaki**
They say that if you pray to the stone
statues inside for things, it really works.
**[11:08] Sakura**
Wow! How fun!
**[11:20] Sakura**
The ocean in Shonan really
is different from Oarai, isn't it?
**[11:23] Masaki's mom**
Yes, it is.
**[11:26] Masaki**
Mount Fuji in Enoshima!
**[11:27] Masaki's mom**
How wonderful! What a view!
**[11:29] Sakura**
It's very rare to see it
this clearly in the summer!
**[11:32] Sakura**
This evening, we might even be
able to see Mt. Fuji in silhouette!
**[11:35] Sakura**
Mom, we're really lucky!
**[11:37] Masaki's mom**
Really?
**[11:39] Masaki**
I was just going to say all that.
**[11:42] Kosuke**
I think Sakura-chan might know more
about Shonan than you.
**[11:45] Masaki**
No, she doesn't!
**[11:53] Yuta**
Huh?
**[11:54] Masaki**
What? Again?

I recommend the shirasu-don.
**[12:05] Masaki's mom**
It all looks delicious!
**[12:07] Masaki's mom**
Oh! Sweet-soy-brined shirasu. How unusual.
**[12:12] Naoya**
Order a shirasu-don for me.
**[12:18] Masaki**
Hey, why is Miruru all over the place?
**[12:21] Masaki**
At this rate, it's not gonna
help change Naoya's mood!
**[12:24] Sakura**
The first season of Miruru
was set around here!
**[12:27] Sakura**
It's a place of pilgrimage for fans!
**[12:29] Masaki**
A place of pilgrimage...
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
**[12:32] Sakura**
Well, I didn't know they'd have
collaborations all over the place like this!
**[12:36] Masaki**
Okay! Let's head to Kamakura!
**[12:38] Masaki**
I'm sure Miruru won't be in Kamakura!
**[12:46] Masaki**
She's in Kamakura, too!
**[12:51] Kosuke**
I haven't been here in forever.
**[12:55] Yuta**
I haven't been since elementary school.
**[12:57] Sakura**
This statue kind of reminds me of Dad.
**[13:00] Masaki's mom**
Oh! It does look like him!
**[13:04] Masaki**
Do you want to go inside?
**[13:05] Masaki**
Oh! Want to eat ice cream?
**[13:07] girl 1**
It's Miruru! How cute!
**[13:12] girl 1**
Who is this girl? I don't know her.
**[13:14] girl 2**
It's not Periri. Who is she?
**[13:17] girl 1**
It must be Miruru's big sister!
**[13:20] girl 2**
No, it's Miruru's little sister.
**[13:22] girl 1**
Big sister!
**[13:23] girl 2**
Little sister!
**[13:26] Naoya**
That's Miruru's buddy MaiMai!
**[13:29] Naoya**
They're in the same grade
and grew up together!
**[13:31] Naoya**
She's not her big sister
or her little sister!
**[13:33] Naoya**
*Miruru First* came out five years ago,
and it was set in Shonan!
**[13:37] Naoya**
And Kamakura was used
as a location just once.
**[13:41] Naoya**
What you're holding is collaboration
merchandise recreating that scene!
**[13:44] Naoya**
What I'm saying is, you really
should check out *Miruru* from *First*!
**[13:48] Naoya**
You can understand the story
if you watch from the second season,
**[13:50] Naoya**
but there are so many characters
that only appear in the first season!
**[13:59] Masaki**
Naoya!
**[14:01] Masaki**
You're actually really...
**[14:04] ---**
Ow!
**[14:08] Masaki**
Mom?
**[14:13] Kosuke**
Are you all right?
**[14:14] Masaki's mom**
I'm such a klutz to twist my
ankle in a place like this.
**[14:18] Yuta**
There don't seem to be any taxis coming.
**[14:21] Masaki's mom**
What a bother. I'm really so sorry.
**[14:34] Tadao**
Hey, guys and ladies!
**[14:38] Yuta**
Tadao-san?
**[14:39] Kosuke**
Huh? A motorcycle?
**[14:40] Masaki**
Perfect timing!
**[14:42] Masaki**
Tadao-san! Would you let my mom ride?
**[14:45] Tadao**
Yeah! Of course!
**[14:50] Yuta**
No one called him or anything, right?
**[14:53] Kosuke**
So it was just coincidence?
But that was just way too cool.
**[14:56] Sakura**
Shonan's greatest must-see!
**[14:59] Masaki's mom**
I really am sorry about this!
**[15:01] Tadao**
No problem! Now, we'll become the wind.
**[15:06] Tadao**
Are you ready?
**[15:08] Masaki's mom**
Yay!
**[15:10] Tadao**
Oh, yes! Come together! Yeah!
**[15:14] Kosuke**
Should we head back to the beach?
**[15:16] Yuta**
Yes, let's.
**[15:18] Masaki**
Naoya, I'm sorry.
**[15:20] Masaki**
It was wrong of me to try
to force you to have fun.
**[15:24] Masaki**
But you're wrong, too!
**[15:29] Masaki**
You can't run from Miruru!
**[15:32] Masaki**
When I saw you earlier,
that's what I thought.
**[15:35] Masaki**
You really love Miruru.
**[15:38] Masaki**
You won't be able to lock that feeling away!
**[15:41] Naoya**
What about it?
**[15:44] Masaki**
I can't really explain it, but...
**[15:46] Masaki**
At this rate, your surfing
won't be any good.
**[15:49] Masaki**
Like... no Miruru, no surfing.
**[15:53] Naoya**
What's that supposed to mean? I can surf.
**[16:21] Naoya**
Rend the darkness!
**[16:25] Naoya**
Meteor Fan—
**[16:31] Naoya**
Okay!
**[16:32] Naoya**
Raven-Dark Blue Angel—
**[16:43] Naoya**
It's just as Hinaoka says.
**[16:45] Noaya**
I'm no good.
**[16:48] Naoya**
I am powerless.
**[16:54] Masaki**
As you are now, maybe.
**[16:57] Masaki**
But there's still something
you can do, Naoya.
**[17:01] Masaki**
Win at the Forest Cup in Tsurigasaki!
**[17:03] Masaki**
With that board!
**[17:18] Masaki**
You told us, right? About Miruru.
**[17:26] Naoya**
Dreams and hope... Miruru is the one
who taught me about all of that.
**[17:30] Masaki**
Then, this time, you can be the one
giving dreams and hope to Miruru, right?
**[17:34] Masaki**
Through surfing!
**[17:36] Naoya**
Through surfing?
**[17:38] Masaki**
Yeah!
**[17:38] Masaki**
Even if the anime ends, you can keep
going through surfing, right?
**[17:42] Masaki**
It all depends on you, Naoya!
**[17:45] Masaki**
If you keep surfing, and keep delivering
amazing tricks over and over,
**[17:49] Masaki**
you'll be able to make Miruru shine, right?
**[17:53] Naoya**
Depending on me... Miruru can shine?
**[17:59] Masaki**
"We will not be defeated
by any twists of fate!" Right?
**[18:05] MaiMai**
We will not be defeated
by any twists of fate!
**[18:08] Miruru**
Together, we will overcome any pain!
**[18:28] Masaki**
Right? The show must go on.
**[18:34] Sakura**
Now is the time! Revolution Change!
**[18:38] Naoya**
Possibilities are infinite!
**[18:41] Sakura; Naoya**
MiruMiru! MaiMai! Revolution Change!
**[18:52] Naoya**
Miruru...
**[18:55] Naoya**
Let's go!
**[18:59] Kosuke**
Okay. Time for practice!
**[19:01] Yuta**
Yes, it is.
**[19:02] Masaki**
All right!
**[19:11] Masaki**
* Last time, at the competition in Oarai,*
* I lost to Naoya in round 2.*
**[19:16] Masaki**
*I need to practice more and more!*
**[19:20] Masaki**
*I need to get better and better!*
**[19:24] Masaki**
*I've been practicing non-stop since then.*
**[19:26] Masaki**
*I won't be beat by Naoya!*
**[19:28] Masaki**
*And I won't lose to Fuke-san, either!*
**[19:33] Masaki**
All right!
**[19:35] Naoya**
* Up until now, Miruru*
* has been my guardian spirit.*
**[19:40] Naoya**
*Now, I'll become her guardian spirit!*
**[19:44] Naoya**
Come, o Wings!
**[19:45] Naoya**
Innocent Exciter Miruru Forever!
**[19:48] Naoya**
8 fps Multiplane!
**[19:52] Kosuke**
Amazing!
**[19:53] Kosuke**
But what did he shout just now?
**[19:55] Yuta**
I'm not sure, but it was
a solid air reverse.
**[19:59] Kosuke**
Masaki and Naoya are really
giving it everything they've got.
**[20:02] Kosuke**
Guess I'd better get serious, too!
**[20:05] Yuta**
Aren't you always serious about it?
**[20:07] Kosuke**
Did you say something?
**[20:09] Yuta**
Just talking to myself.
**[20:12] Kosuke**
*I can't afford to stand still.*
**[20:14] Kosuke**
*The Forest Cup is just a waypoint.*
**[20:17] Kosuke**
*What I'm aiming for is far, far beyond that!*
**[20:21] Yuta**
* According to the data,*
* everyone's an even match.*
**[20:24] Yuta**
* All that's left is to see who can catch*
* that big wave of emotions!*
**[20:35] Masaki**
* Just like that, in aiming*
* for the next competition,*
**[20:38] Masaki**
*out hearts were one again.*
**[20:42] Masaki's mom**
Good work out there!
**[20:44] Tadao**
Yeah! You're all in top condition!
**[20:53] Masaki**
There, there.
**[20:55] Masaki**
That's right! It's tonight!
The fireworks festival.
**[20:59] Yuta**
I'd completely forgotten.
**[21:01] Sakura**
I've been looking forward to it!
**[21:03] Kosuke**
You get to see it up close,
so it's pretty impressive.
**[21:07] Tadao**
Let's go!
**[21:23] Masaki**
Tama-ya!
**[21:25] Masaki's mom**
