[quirky music playing]

[Okarun gasps]

[thinks] Calm down.

You're just saying hi. No big deal.

Mornin'!

- You practiced all night, so you're ready. - 'Sup, girl?

You got this!

You've never done anything like this before, but she can't know that.

[gasps]

Is she waiting for me?

I mean, we've been through a lot together, so...

- No, I bet she's waiting for someone else. - Hey!

[Okarun] I'll just stay out of your way.

[Momo grunts and chuckles]

You're late. Come on.

Uh...

[gasps]

[yelps]

- Get outta my way, you moron. - [Okarun groans]

[girl] Enjoyin' the view down there, ya perv? Get lost!

- Aaaah! - Uh...

[buzz of voices]

[whimpers]

[groans]

Oof!

Um, 'scuse me.

Is there a Miss Ayase here?

Huh? I can barely hear ya.

[boy] It's lunch, so he's probably in the caff.

Okarun wouldn't be in the caff. It's a zoo!

I'll try the school store.

[thinks] The store?

Well, if she's not in the cafeteria, I'll check there.

Oh, she's not here.

I-- I'll try the school store.

[thinks] Guess I'll try the cafeteria.

[both think] Not here either.

[boy] Not here either.

[thinks] She's avoiding me.

After this morning, she must have decided I was boring,

and probably thinks I'm a pest, too.

Jeez, our lunch break is almost over.

Where the hell is he hiding?

[Okarun] I hate my life!

He did seem kind of mopey this morning.

Maybe he thinks I'm pushy. I kinda am.

I shoulda asked him what was wrong, instead of blabbing away like a dork.

Ah, she's super popular.

What does she need a friend like me for?

Maybe I'm just a backup friend.

[birdsong]

Maybe I don't even count as a backup friend.

[inhales]

[gentle music continues]

[birdsong]

What was I thinking?

I feel like such a butthole.

Man, why am I always like this?

Why do I have to be such a wimp?

[birdsong]

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Okarun.

EPISODE 22: THE SECRET ART OF BEING ATTRACTIVE

[jaunty electronic music playing]

[seething]

Ahem!

[Okarun] Hmm?

[boy spluttering]

SUPERALLOY COMBINER ROBO 2

Hmm?

Huh?

[boy straining]

[silence]

[thinks] I have no choice but to use brute force and cunning.

That's the only way... I'll win!

[boy singing in Japanese]

Huh?

I see you. Yeah, I see you, my enemy.

Hmm.

[boy] Hello? I'm talking to you!

What? Wh... what do you want?

You never spoke to me before. Why now?

I'm not interested in guys, but you're an exception.

Uh...

I wanna know how you get along so well with Momo Ayase.

- [Okarun] Huh? - It boggles the mind.

You aren't good-looking at all. You're short and straight-up boring.

So how are you so chummy with the Momo Ayase?

- Oh... - It's the same with Miss Shiratori, too.

Tell me how you managed to do this! Why are you so popular with the ladies?

[Okarun] No, you're wrong. I'm not popular.

- [Momo] Okarun! - Hah!

You're gonna be so stoked.

I think I found your other nut!

- Shh! - What the...

Uh... Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to butt in like that.

No, you weren't butting in at all, really.

We weren't talking about anything important,

Are you a new friend of Okarun's?

Oh... I mean, everyone has a different opinion on friendship.

So one might consider us friends, maybe.

Oh, cool! You guys look like you totally get along.

[both] Uh...

Anyway, pretty sure I found your golden nut!

Great adventure!

[Okarun] Maybe we should talk about this outside of class!

That's it! The secret to being popular with pretty girls is...

spicy talk?

[girl] Um, excuse me!

You're in Class B, aren't you?

We've seen you go in and out of other students' classes.

But you need to stop doing that.

Some of us use our breaks to study,

but we can't, because you keep distracting us.

[whimpers]

I'm sorry. It won't happen again.

[Okarun] Uh...

- [Momo] Come on. Let's talk outside. - [Okarun] Uh, okay.

Takakura, you don't have to go if you don't want to!

[Momo] Huh?

If you can't bring yourself to tell her no, I'm happy to.

Yo, is that the truth?

- No, it's not true at all. - [boy gasping]

I don't know why she said that.

- Well, he says it ain't true. What's up? - [Okarun] Huh?

Obviously, with you here, he's too scared to say anything.

- [Okarun gasping] - Takakura.

I'm sorry I didn't intervene till now.

I'm the rep for our class, so you can tell me anything.

I... I don't need to...

Go on, Okarun. Tell her what a big fat dumbass she is.

- Actually, I was going to say... - Don't you dare bully him!

- What? - Shut your face and let him talk.

You better watch your tongue when you speak to me.

Can I say something?

[thinks] Damn! He's so popular!

I need to cut in! But I need to time it right.

- If you've got a problem... - [boy] Now? She's cute!

Now? So cute. Now!

[Momo] ...voice!

Ten-gallon wiener.

That's right. I got this.

[jaunty music playing]

Wiener?

[Momo] Sounds like you wanna die.

[Momo] Man, that skank totally pissed me off!

What's her deal, anyway? Why's she all worried about you?

[Okarun] I don't know! And with all the commotion around and about me,

I couldn't react properly.

Before today, no one in my class had ever made any attempt to speak to me,

and I'm kind of happy they did.

[Momo] Well, they did, 'cause you're cool now.

Huh? I'm cool?

[Momo] Yep.

APARTMENT BLOCK B

[Okarun whispers] I did it!

[Momo giggles]

What are you laughing at?

What you said! "I did it!" Are you kidding me?

What was I supposed to say, then?

[Momo laughing]

Nothin'. That was great. It was totally you.

Anyway, back to your ball. You saw Miko's picture, right?

Yes, I... I saw it.

[quirky music playing]

[Okarun] The air around it, it seemed like it was... warped.

[Momo] Yeah. It was floatin' there like a little fireball.

[Okarun] Maybe a ghost was carrying my ball

back to wherever it keeps its valuables.

[Momo] Turbo Granny did say other spirits would be coming for it.

They're definitely talkin' about somethin' spicy.

How unfair. Why is it okay for Takakura to talk spicy with her,

but when I do it, I get death threats?

I want to know! I must acquire that skill!

I wanna learn how to wield spicy talk naturally and effectively!

And trade smooches with pretty girls like Momo Ayase, maybe.

- No, I will! - [Momo] You wanna check over there?

[boy thinks] What are they doing at this apartment complex, though?

[Okarun] ...it was taken?

[boy thinks] They seem lost. So they don't live here.

- [clang] - [boy] Uh...

[both] Uh...

Uh... What a coincidence, huh?

Who would have thought we all walked home the same...

- [eerie whirring] - [boy] Huh?

- [both gasp] - Uh...

[power zapping]

[whimpers]

- [boy thinks] No! - [boy wails]

[thinks] At this rate I'm currently travelling,

Miss Ayase's lips and mine will connect in approximately...

Dom!

I don't understand how I got here.

Yo, Okarun. It's that pervy dude from your class.

Maybe he's the ghost that's got your ball!

- Momo. Check it. - Oh.

[eerie music playing]

- Let's get your other ball back! - Yay.

[eerie, high-pitched whirring]

[Momo] It's too fast!

What the...

[buzzing]

[yelps]

- [Momo] Okarun! - Ah, I'm good.

- But that ain't no ghost. - Uh...

I can feel a body.

Someone or something's there. I know it.

[faint humming]

Stay sharp, Momo. Can't see it, but it's there.

[whooshing]

[Momo] Wait. It ran away!

- [Okarun] Hurry, hop on. - [Momo] What the hell's carrying it?

- [boy grunts] - [Momo] It turned left up there!

Oh, now he gets to give you a piggyback ride?

Shut up, ya perv!

And keep an eye on our bags! Lose 'em and I murder ya.

Bra! Do that.

Okay, that was gross. When I get back, you're gettin' murdered!

What is it about my spicy talk that you find so offensive?

[Momo] The spicy talk, dumbass!

- [whirring] - Get that testicle!

[boy] Oh! You just did it! You spoke spicily!

[whooshing]

Which way? Right or left?

[growls]

[gasps]

[Okarun] Momo!

[Momo groans]

- [thumping] - [Okarun grunting]

- Aah! - [Momo] Gotcha!

Huh? What is that thing? It's faster than hell!

[eerie whirring]

[yells]

[Momo panting]

[yells]

[grunts]

Take that!

[yells]

[yelps]

- [groans] - Okarun!

[Okarun] Ah, crap. It jumped.

Come on, get up. And hold on to me tight!

- [Okarun] For real? - [Momo] Trust me!

[wind gusting]

[Momo gasps]

[straining]

There it is!

[gasps]

[both groan]

- Are you okay? Did I squish ya? - [wheezing]

Give me a second, please.

Uh, I'm trying to... catch my breath... [groans]

- [Momo groans] - [Okarun gasps]

- Sorry. It was a bad idea. - [gasping]

[coughs]

No need... to apologize...

[both panting]

It is so... [gasps]

...crazy how totally powerless I am against a thing I can't see.

- [panting] - [Momo] Right there with ya.

How is it fair if we can't even see the thing we're tryin' to fight?

- [wailing] - [Okarun] Who are you complaining to?

[boy screams]

[rattling]

That sounded like the perv.

- Was he dumb enough to follow us? - We better find him!

[Okarun] All right. Got a plan?

[Momo] Nope! But our priority's savin' that perv!

[boy groans]

- [Momo] Uh... oh, no, you don't! - [boy screaming]

[whimpering]

That was amazing! Thank you for saving me. I could hug you now!

Quit followin' us, you ass!

Watch our bags like I told ya!

[Okarun] Here it comes.

- [boy gulps] - [eerie whirring]

You'll have to tell me what you two really are some other time.

Let me handle this!

Get lost already. You're in the way!

[heroic music playing]

Here goes!

Jet Stream Attack!

[whimpers]

- [Momo] Dude, you didn't do jack. - [Okarun] What a drag.

Now we can see it from three angles!

And I bet it's using retro-reflective projection tech!

- [both gasp] - [whirs]

[yells]

[clattering]

[whirring]

[yelling]

[bell rings]

[yelps]

[gasps]

[panting]

I see it!

[yells]

I got it! Okarun, aim for here!

Goin' all out.

[both yelp]

[boy gasping]

Nice, Okarun.

You too, Miss Ayase.

- [Momo] Way to go, perv. - [boy giggles]

[Momo] How'd you know about its weakness, anyway?

If it's invisible, it must be using optical camouflage.

OPTICAL CAMOUFLAGE

[boy] It's a basic element in sci-fi.

Take your enemy's line of sight,

then project the image onto an electro-luminescent suit you're wearing.

You are there, but to your enemies' eyes, you are not.

But since we were looking at it from different angles,

it could not accurately project our multiple lines of sight.

Thus making it visible.

- [Momo] Are you seeing this? - [Okarun] No way!

What?

- [Okarun] Uh... - [Momo] Wh...

[Okarun gasps]

[buzzing]

- What is that? It ain't a ghost! - [wails]

- It's a kaiju! - Where the hell'd it come from?

I have no idea!

Are you speaking about the rogue testicle I helped you handle?

Oh, that does it! I've had it with your pervy jokes!

- Tone it down! - I'm sorry!

But I do appreciate the physical contact.

[giggles]

[Momo] When that thing was invisible, we could see your ball.

- I can't see it now, can you? - [Okarun] Uh-uh.

[boy] Why can you guys talk about testes and I can't? Huh? Why?

Looks like it's out cold for now. Let's go down there and check it out.

[energy zapping]

[boy] Please, Takakura!

Teach me how to use spicy talk successfully with the ladies.

[Okarun] It's better if you don't.

- Huh. You and your spicy talk. - [boy yelps]

- Shut up about it, will ya? - [boy wails] How thrilling!

- Oh! Whoa! - Miss Ayase!

[dramatic music playing]

[all gasping]

- [roaring] - [energy zapping]

[roaring]

DAN DA DAN

[song in Japanese playing]

THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH NAMES OF PEOPLE

(INCLUDING THE ACTOR KEN TAKAKURA) AND ORGANIZATIONS.

[boy] It's so unfair. They can talk spicy all they want.

But when I do it, they call me disgusting!

Wait! Could the problem be that my spicy talk is outdated?

Next time, "Hey, it's a Kaiju."

Are you telling me there's a state-of-the-art tool?

It's more advanced than current technology? Impo--
