Original subtitles

Right? Right?

Everyone's talking about it!

No matter how you look at it...

You're telling me?

It's small, isn't it?

Humanoid Monster Bem A landmark release of the bizarre anime that swept away a generation!

I mean, it's still winter!

I don't know what I'll be doing in August! Talk later.

Nitta.

We got the design for the complete box.

- It looks go— - Isn't it lame?

Gotta do it over.

Hey.

Hey, Nitta! Shinohara.

Hey, Kashizaki!

Did you see the tie-up list for the festival?

I did, yeah! It's tough, isn't it?

They're not letting the media in, right?

I got the D-Mobile account!

Whoa, for real?

- Yeah! Thank you! - Great job!

A festival. A new beer going on sale.

Idol commercials.

Why are we stuck with Bern?

Why do we have to work on this lame-ass DVD set for a 50 year-old anime?

- You should take it up to the manag— - There's no way Bern merch will sell!

Shinohara!

Are you free now?

- Completely. - All right then, come here!

Thank you for riding with us.

We will shortly arrive at Moriya-Chuo. Moriya-Chuo.

Good afternoon.

Afternoon.

The cyclamen bloomed beautifully, didn't they?

- It's true. They're beautiful. - Yeah.

- Excuse me. - Oh, take care.

Youta!

No need to lock up.

Welcome home, dad!

I'm home.

- Soccer practice? - Yeah!

I'm off!

Take care.

Youta!

Think they'll have you play?

They might not.

I'm off.

- Ayumi Nitta: I'm thinking of making the curry Youta likes! - Looking forward to it! - I'm gonna have to work late, I'm sorry! Eat together with Youta!

- You're smoking in the garden again, aren't you?

Youta.

You can't leave rice on your plate.

Okay.

You'll be a big brother soon.

Okay, I got it.

It's okay. Drink your juice.

Okay.

I'm home!

Welcome back.

I'm home.

Is Youta asleep?

Yeah. He was watching soccer with me just now.

I'm sorry I'm so late!

They want to work me to the bone before my maternity leave.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

I was lucky they went home early today.

Yusuke's dad even works on Sundays.

But Youta can see his dad every day.

You're a lucky boy!

Maybe I need to work harder.

Let's put him in bed.

Yeah.

Thanks.

Here we go!

Bern had a different last episode?

That's right.

It seems...

the finale one of the writers created...

was halfway completed.

But...

It was changed because of a sponsor's request.

It was changed? Why?

Who knows?

And what happened to the episode?

Wanna look for it?

Of course we will!

If we find it, there's our selling point! The elusive alternative finale!

- Will people talk about it? - Of course! Otaku and old people will love it.

It'll be big news on the internet!

That's true.

Mr. Shibuki.

You work in production, right?

Production?

I'll go too.

- So noisy! - I found it.

We found it!

Is this it?

It's on film.

It's 50 years old, after all.

Want to watch it?

You think this will be the end of me?

What...

What did she say?

Humanoid Monster Bela

You're late.

The photoshoot yesterday ended at 3 AM.

That's rough.

And against the rules.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

We have a transfer student coming in today.

A transfer student?

Please come in.

Can you introduce yourself?

Her handwriting is pretty!

Yuri...

ga...

saki.

- Yurigasaki. - Her name's Yurigasaki!

- Bela. - Pretty name.

Bela?

I wonder if she's mixed.

Well, then...

You can sit...

in that seat over there.

She's pretty.

That's great, Ayase! You're at the top!

- Last lap, everyone! - Ayase's so fast!

Same as always, huh?

- Bela? - So fast!

Wasn't that super fast?

- So fast! - Do your best!

Huh?

Bela is super fast!

- Do your best! - She's gonna overtake Ayase? No way!

Go, Bela!

- Awesome! - Incredible!

She really passed Ayase!

That was amazing, Yurigasaki.

Wow!

Hey, Yurigasaki!

Yurigasaki!

Yurigasaki!

She's that pretty, and good at sports too?

Right? I've never seen Ayase lose before.

Speaking of which...

Hasn't Ayase gained weight lately?

She really did!

- I didn't know fatties could be models. - You're too loud!

It's okay, she can't hear me.

Damn it.

She's not even tired!

Huh?

That's awful!

- Bela? - What is that?

What happened?

Yurigasaki!

Wait a minute!

Wait!

Come with me!

I borrowed these.

You can't go home like that.

This is the club room for the photography club.

My name is Makino.

Nice to meet you.

Huh? Wait, Yurigasaki! Go inside!

Change in there, okay?

Where did you live before, Yurigasaki?

And your family?

Do you have siblings?

Next stop: Yurigasaki 2-Chome.

Yurigasaki 2-Chome.

We will stop at the next stop.

Yurigasaki 2-Chome. Thank you for riding with us.

She's quiet.

Good morning!

Who did this?

She's here.

Die, Death, Uggo, Pig, Trash Everyone hates you

You're kidding!

She didn't even flinch!

Huh? Milk?

Let's eat.

Thanks for the food!

Ew!

Will you cut it out?!

Isn't the bullying against Bela out of hand?

Who's doing it?

- It's gotta be Ayase. - She's nasty.

- Right? - Just because she's cuter than her!

I feel sorry for Yurigasaki.

Ayase's horrible.

She's always been bad, though.

- She cut up her skirt. - I heard that too.

And the worms were her, too!

Ayase is awful.

So disgusting!

We live while hiding...

in the shadows.

Yurigasaki!

Give me a smile!

Huh?

It's almost done.

Ah, I'll get us some drinks! Wait for me.

You like milk, right?

Hey, Yurigasaki!

Do you know...

what happens to people when they get locked somewhere without light or sound?

They say most people start hallucinating!

When they feel like their connection to the world has vanished...

they're attacked by loneliness? Or was it anxiety?

Or maybe terror? That makes them go crazy!

Isn't that scary?!

What are you going to do now?!

Uggo!

You're disgusting, you uggo!

Die! Die! Die! Die!

Eat up and grow big and strong!

She's pretty.

Ayase is the only pretty one.

You thought I'd take pictures of an uggo like you?!

Go crazy and die, Bela!

Have a nice weekend!

You're so pretty...

Ayase.

Huh?

Bela?

How?

Huh?

Do you like her?

Huh?!

If you do, why hide it? Why not take her for yourself?

No! No! No!

How?

No!

No, no, no!

No! No!

No! Please, let me out!

Somebody!

What?

Who's there?

No! No! No!

No! No!

No, please! No, go away! Go away!

Go away! Go away! Stay away from me!

No!

No!

Hey! A-Are you okay?

Hey!

What happened? Are you okay?

- No! - Hey! Hey! What happened? Are you okay?

Were you locked in here all weekend?

Hey!

What day is it? What day? What day?

I-It's Monday! It's Monday morning.

It can't be.

It can't be! It can't!

It can't be!

Move, move, move!

Go back to your classrooms!

Get inside!

Get a cab! A cab, now!

- I-It's okay now. - Wait a minute, I'll be right back.

Bela!

Hey! What's wrong?

What are you talking about?

No! I can't take any more!

Ayase...

I got your text.

What is it?

You want to take pictures?

Stop!

What?

Look at me!

We're friends, aren't we?

You are not my friend!

You were the one bullying Bela, weren't you?

Unbelievable.

Here, for you!

Ah, sorry. You're in the way.

No!

No! No!

See?

Bela is gone now!

No.

No.

Ayase.

The rain stopped!

No... Stay away.

Ayase!

You're so beautiful!

Ayase!

I don't want...

to become human.

What...

What did she say?

Woah, that was bad.

Of course they went a different way.

Right, Nitta?

Mr. Shibuki! Mr. Shibuki!

I'm Shinohara! Shinohara!

Mr. Shibuki!

What... What... What did she say?!

Huh? I don—

There has to be a script, right?!

Where is it?

Ah, well, I... Let's look for it! Let's look.

- In the storage room? - Maybe.

- Let's look there! Let's go back there! - Y-Yeah.

I'm home.

Welcome home.

You just got back?

Yeah.

The bath is ready, just reheat it.

Thanks.

I think it's gonna go well.

What will?

Everything.

Good night.

Good night.

Is this still Japan?

Couldn't we just ask old man Shibuki to do this?

We get to meet the writer. Let's go.

It's not that expensive.

Three...

Four...

Five...

Pops!

These two are here to talk about Bern!

They came all the way from Tokyo!

This is Mr. Nitta,

and this is Mr. Shinohara!

Mr. Mochizuki!

We saw it.

The film with the alternate finale.

But just from the film, it's not clear what's happening.

That's why...

I wanted to ask you what the story was.

What was Bela saying in that film?!

Hasuike...

Huh?

Oh, I got a hotel.

Thank you.

I'm going back home, alright?

Are you really going to that geezer's home?

That's not good at all!

You're missing work,

you haven't told the boss,

you're not replying to texts...

and we're cutting it close with the deadline!

The deadline's close!

But if we find the script it'll be great!

I'll take you to the station.

They're... not human.

They're strong, and don't get hurt.

They don't feel... pain either.

I saw...

I saw them.

"I saw them".

Nitta.

Shinohara.

Excuse me.

You came back, huh?

Yeah.

It's a pity...

Yeah.

I couldn't even look the president in the eye.

Oh, and also, Nitta...

You need to come to the office soon.

I'll go tomorrow.

Please, man.

She won't move again.

You're not even sad...

so why are you here?

Ayase!

Ayase!

Why do people cry?

Because they're weak.

If they were strong...

they wouldn't cry.

I don't want...

to become human.

I don't want...

to become human.

Take care!

I'm off!

We're off!

If we don't hurry, we'll be late!

Let's hurry! Let's go!

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

Afternoon!

- Good afternoon. - Hey, you!

- Hold up! - Good afternoon.

Who might you be?

I'm one of your students' guardians.

Yeah? And what's her name?

Okay, come with me.

- Let go of me! - Huh?

Hey!

They're...

not human.

They're strong,

and don't get hurt.

They don't feel pain either.

You're...

Bela.

No one understands you.

You are...

a strong human.

Nitta?!

Nitta!

What's going on with you?!

What are you thinking?

Explain yourself!

You haven't been coming in. You haven't even called!

And the DVD set is on hold!

What the hell's going on?!

Why don't you say anything, Nitta?

Wanna write a resignation letter?

Kashizaki!

Pull it out!

Pull it out!

Pull it out!

Good work today.

Nitta?

Slowly! Slowly, slowly!

Welcome home, dad!

Hey, Youta!

I'm home!

Lift me up!

- Not so fast! - Welcome home!

I'm home!

Huh? Funeral clothes?

Yeah. I needed them for work, so I bought a cheap set.

I see. Was it rough at work?

Not really, everything is fine!

Really?

See you in a bit, Youta! You're going out, right?

- No, you are, dad! - Youta's going out!

- No, dad is! - Dad is going out?

The pastures are green, and the grass is growing thick and strong!

The pastures are green, and the grass is growing thick and strong!

57,

58,

59,

60!

How long was that?

60 seconds!

- One minute! - Yeah!

Alright, now's your turn!

Are you ready?

Let's go!

Ready, set...

One,

two,

thre—

Youta.

You're a man, aren't you?

Ready?

Ready, set...

One,

two,

three...

Jeez, that hurt!

I'm sorry.

How many seconds?

I'm coming.

Hello there.

Is this the Nitta residence?

Yes!

This is Miyamoto, from Asahi Daiichi Advertising.

Oh, thank you for looking after us!

Did Mr. Nitta get back home?

My husband? Wait a second!

Oh, wait.

Did he tell you about what happened today?

"About today"?

So he didn't...

Actually, Mr. Nitta...

Hurt his supervisor's hand today.

He hurt him?

He jabbed a pencil in his hand.

Huh?

I dried it!

His supervisor might have crossed a line.

But...

You didn't!

This is not something we, as a company, can simply ignore.

He's suspended until we decide what to do.

Ma'am.

Can you hand the phone to Mr. Nitta for a moment?

Kosuke.

Kosuke.

Yeah?

It's your division chief.

Okay.

- You didn't! - Did too!

Die, you piece of shit!

Thanks.

Are you okay?

Your wife told me...

You stabbed your superior's hand with a pencil?

Why?

Because I want to be strong.

You want to be strong.

Humans are frail little creatures.

That's why we die.

That's just being human.

But...

But y'know, Doc...

There are people who don't die.

They don't get hurt.

They don't feel pain either.

They're strong creatures.

I might have a chance to be reborn like that.

Did you...

meet someone?

Incredible.

How did you know?

Bela told me...

"You are a strong human".

She did.

Bela?

Yeah.

I want to see her.

No one understands you.

He needs to take the medicine and rest for a while.

Let's observe, for now.

If anything happens,

call me immediately.

Ah!

Ah, you're Youta's dad!

- Thank you for looking after my son. - Don't mention it!

His mom's not coming today?

- No, today it's just me. - I see!

Youta!

Alright, go in. Go!

Oh!

It seems like Youta is going in!

Oh!

Go, Youta! Do your best, come on!

Go, Youta!

Come on, Youta! Not like that, no!

What are you doing? Go get it back!

Shut him down!

You have to feel it! Feel them on your back!

- Get number 8! Shut him down! - Youta's dad is pretty fired up, huh?

I'm home!

Youta?

Kosuke?

Kosuke Nitta

Hello?

Just listen.

Huh?

Can you do it?

No, not there.

Kosuke?

We live while...

Understood?

Oh, what a relief!

Block it!

You gotta block it!

You could have stopped that one!

Youta.

That's why you never get to play. See?

Move forward!

Here I go!

- Block the ball! - Kosuke!

- Youta! - Kosuke!

What are you doing?

What are you doing?!

Practice was about to go somewhere, too...

Huh?

I was too late.

Shinohara (Asahi Daiichi Advertising)

Shinohara?

Hello?

It's bad, Ayumi!

Huh?

Nitta sent a weird e-mail to everyone in the company,

including the president and the top brass!

Kosuke Nitta Humanoid Monsters are real

Humanoid monsters are real

Don't touch me!

Youta.

What?

Can you get me my medicine?

Open it.

I hate pills so much.

Dad.

Yeah?

Are you sick?

Youta?

Youta!

Huh?

Morning!

You're all dirty, Youta.

You should eat the cucumber.

Kosuke.

I'm off to work.

Something's been wrong with me.

I have to apologize properly.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

My meds.

Eat everything, okay, Youta?

Okay.

I'm off!

Take care!

Good morning!

The marigolds bloomed beautifully, didn't they?

Shut up, you hag!

Who fucking cares about Marigolds? I sure don't.

Please don't ask me out to places like this.

Just send me an e-mail!

So, what can you tell me?

I found that name Mr. Mochizuki said, Hasuike,

written on an old army memo.

Kinosuke Hasuike.

The guy is quite the elite.

The army recruited him while he was in college.

He served in the Epidemic Prevention and Water Purification Department,

Unit 731, researching and developing biological weapons.

He was in the so-called "bacteria division".

With a generous military grant, he set up a lab.

The photo you sent was taken there.

A resort company started redeveloping the place, but the project was halted.

No idea if it's still there, though.

This is pretty detailed!

Thanks.

Why?

What do you mean, "why"? You tol—

Who did you ask?

A researcher.

A researcher? What do they research?

- Eh? Like I sai— - What's their address?

- Address? - Tell me the researcher's address.

What?

- You can't, can you? - Huh?

You met her, didn't you?

Did you?

Who?

Bela, of course.

I see her every day.

Every day?

I took over your work.

I see Bern, Bela, and Belo every day!

Every day?

Welcome.

I'm leaving.

My apologies.

Sorry, but please don't call me again.

That's Belo.

Experiments for Development of an All-Purpose Humanoid Weapon by Dr. Kinosuke Hasuike

Bela.

Huh?

Experiments for Development of an All-Purpose Humanoid Weapon by Dr. Kinosuke Hasuike

Ok, everyone, stand still for a second!

Bem, Bela, and Belo are...

our last hope.

Help! Help me!

Kill Bela!

Stop!

- Stop! - Move!

Go get Belo! He's in the quarantine ward!

Kill Belo!

Stop! Stop it!

I saw...

- I saw... - I saw them.

Bela escaped!

She's in the forest!

Kill Bela!

- Kill her! - Wait...

Bela!

Stop! Stop it!

Stop! Please!

Stop it!

S-Stop!

Stop it! Stop!

Bela!

Bela...

Stop it...

Bela...

Stop it!

Wanna go for a picnic?

What are you talking about?

Youta, you're going to be a big brother, so you need to be strong.

Take your medicine properly!

Youta. Hurry up and eat.

Let's go!

He's not going!

Stop it!

Cut it out already!

Take your medicine properly!

You...

haven't gone to work to apologize!

What are you doing?

Let's go, Youta!

- I don't wanna! - Stop it!

Jeez, just stop it!

Ouch.

Youta.

We're going to Grandma's.

It's okay.

I'll go alone.

I'm sorry.

Hurry up, c'mon!

C'mon, Youta!

- Bye, Youta! - Bye-bye!

See ya!

Mom.

Yeah?

Are we going to live alone now?

Yeah...

Let's go.

We're home.

Welcome back!

Woah, you scared me!

Why are you here?

Let's go, Youta!

Get out!

Yes.

That's right.

Yeah.

Listen, I know it's a bit selfish of me to ask...

but I need to take my son and pick him up all the time, so...

Yes.

He's already in elementary school.

Yes.

I know.

Yeah.

Ah, I'm sorry.

I have to go right now.

Yeah.

Yes.

Sure.

I'm sorry.

Yamano Transportation!

I'm sorry, I need to go out right now.

Oh, but we have your package!

I'm so sorry!

Sorry.

Ah, excuse us!

- Thank you, we're coming in. - No, listen!

- I'm in a hurry! - Excuse me.

Go on in, ma'am.

- It's quite heavy. Excuse me. - I don't have time now.

I need to leave right now.

- Is it okay if we carry it inside for you? - Just leave it here.

But it's heavy!

- It really is okay. - You sure?

I really am in a hurry. I have to go now!

Ah, sorry. Can you please sign here?

Sender: Kosuke Nitta Receiver: Ayumi Nita

Here, please.

Beautiful house you have.

- Here. - Thank you very much!

- Excuse us. - Excuse us!

Kosuke Nitta

Hello?

Did you call?

Huh?

Can we talk later? I'm in a hurry here!

I have another trip, and I thought I could take Youta.

What are you talking about?

He's perfect for it.

Where's your "I'm going out", Youta?

Mom...

Eh? Youta?!

Youta?!

Youta!

Ah.

The package is mine, so don't open it.

The pastures are green,

and the wind blows through the sea of grass!

The pastures are green,

and the grass is growing thick and strong!

Youta.

Where's the “hey"?

Aren't you gonna do it?

The snow has melted down and become a river...

Take it.

Take it.

Take it!

I could drink it myself...

but it's perfect for you!

I just want you to get stronger!

Drink it.

You'll get good at soccer.

Your grades will get better.

You'll grow big.

That's not all.

You'll be able to do many other things, too!

Youta.

Drink it.

Youta, Youta, Youta!

You're a bad boy.

Now I'm angry, Youta!

Youta!

Come back, Youta!

Youta, wait!

Youta!

Youta!

Where did that damn brat go?

You wanna play hide-and-seek?!

Okay then.

Are you ready?

Are you ready?

Youta, it's Mom!

Oh, Ayumi! What is it?

Dinner's ready. Hurry up and get Youta!

What are we having?

Curry?!

With sausages and boiled eggs?!

That's great! It's the best!

Right? So, hurry up and get Youta, dear! He's gonna love it!

Okay, got it! Ah, Ayumi.

What, dear? Stop it!

Ayumi!

Dear!

Ayumi!

Dear!

Ayumi!

Youta!

Youta!

Wait!

Youta!

Boo!

No! No! No!

Hey, Belo!

No, I mean, Youta!

Youta!

Fooled ya!

Your old man's gotten stronger!

It doesn't hurt at all!

Ouch!

Youta!

Mom!

Youta!

Go that way.

Let's go.

Don't tell me you are...

You got too close to the Humanoid Monsters.

You...

You...

You are Bern!

Bela.

Friend.

But not anymore.

Stop it already.

You ran away...

by yourself.

No.

I didn't run!

You haven't...

suffered.

That's right.

Bela and Belo...

were burned.

Bem.

You can use this, Bela!

Bela, it works!

Go through!

Go on ahead!

Youta!

Youta.

I am Bern!

Ayumi!

Youta!

I got strong, didn't I?!

Now I can protect you two!

I don't want...

to become human.

But...

I don't want to be a Humanoid Monster like that, either.

We live while hiding in the shadows.

We are Humanoid Monsters.

I don't know Heaven. Where is it? Hear our prayers.

You don't know Heaven. The future in which it breaks down is far away.

I don't know Heaven. I'm looking for it, even though it might make me go crazy.

You don't know the World. It is falling down into the abyss.

You don't know the World. It is falling down into the abyss.

I don't know Heaven. I heard whispers of your feelings.

You don't know Heaven. You encouraged a frightened someone.

I don't know Heaven. I'm staring at a red splash.

You don't know the World. Play the prelude to its collapse.

The colors of your heart...

are squirming around,

shining a light on all that's around!

In a pitch-black, scary dream that you hate...

you shed many tears, and wake up alone...

feeling lost, hurt, and looking for the end.

Carrying a strong wish,

you try to dispel your dark fate.

Live in the shadows, and be scattered into pieces!

Why are people so frail and fleeting?

They crumble down if you touch them just a little.

The tragedy of your past is told in a deceitful way.

The world erases the truth!

In the bright red flames that hurt...

the madness of egotists burns your body.

They're hateful, weak, and foolish beasts!

In the white, cold forest...

you mix in with the shadows, and keep walking.

Live in the shadows, and be scattered into pieces!

I don't want...

to become Human.

You yearn for people, and love them.

You vowed to live alongside them.

But all they did in those days was betray you.

In a pitch-black, scary dream that you hate...

you shed many tears, and wake up alone...

then you scream into the endless night.

Carrying a strong wish,

you try to dispel your dark fate.

Live in the shadows, and be scattered into pieces!

Hide in the shadows, and be scattered into pieces!
