Kasahari Apartments

Otaru! Wanna rest on my lap while I clean your ears?

Oh, I would be glad to do that for you.

How dare you, Ms. Ironing Board!

What did you say?!

My legs are a lot more comfortable than your bony legs!

No way! My legs are most suitable for Master Otaru!

Correction!

My slender, beautiful legs are in fact the most suitable for Otaru!

Here, my honey, I am your harbor.

Shut your face!

Must I start an episode this way?!

Daddy Is Coming! Daddy Is Coming!

Hana

One-two, one-two, one-two, one-two...

It's just a dream.

No!

Hey.

What are you so frightened about, Hanagata?

More rice please!

What is it this time? Bitten by a dog again?

Bullied by the school kids again?

Oh, I know!

You dropped your slipper in the toilet again!

More please!

Tell us. We promise not to get mad.

More please!

Don't be a wimp.

An extra large helping please!

Lime, you've had enough. Learn to control yourself.

Hey, Hana! You could at least answer me!

Why you...!

I'm losing my patience with you!

There! There! There...!

There!

There!

He's gone!

Just leave him alone!

Come on!

Otaru!

He's c oming!

A really scary guy is coming!

A really scary guy?

He's here!

One-two, one-two one-two, one-two...

What's that?!

Cool!

It stinks of men...

I've come to see you!

Pleased to meet you.

He's saying that with his body language.

Thanks for watching out for my sons.

Sons? Who?

Kamataro Hanagata...

He's our daddy!

Why, that's the logo of Hanagata Trust.

Hanagata Trust?

What's that?

Hanagata Trust...

A company founded from the ashes of the Joshuya fire

Fully recovering operations after three months.

Rapidly expanding ever since...

...Into computers, heavy industry, food, medicine, and clothing...

...and numerous other diversified interests.

A major corporation well-established across Terra 2.

That pasty-faced weirdo is the heir of a major corporation"?

He sure doesn't look the part.

By the way, where is Hanagata?

Yes, sir!

One-two, one-two one-two, one-two...

Let me go! Let me go!

Daddy...

What are they doing?

A father-son talk.

Come home, Mitsurugi!

Why, all of a sudden?!

It's about time you work by my side and learn the business.

You'll be in charge of a fast food restaurant we're opening in Xian.

Get ready to leave soon.

But, no...!

It's all for your...

Hey, you can speak.

Pardon. I must apologize for an unsightly moment.

Well, that's all I have to say. Mitsurugi, you know what to do!

But... Daddy...

Are you objecting?

No.

I'll come to get you.

Make sure you thank those who've helped you while you were here.

One-two!

One-two, one-two one-two, one-two...

Hana...

Congratulations! Farewell Party for Hanagata!

Bring on the booze! Bring me some booze!

Hey big brother, get a hold of yourself.

Shut up! You've got no idea how an eldest son feels!

No, but...

Hana, have a cracker. [tl cheer you up!

Did you say "cheers"?!

This one's good.

Did you say "good-bye"?!

I also have curry flavor.

"Curry"?! Damn you all!

I don't wanna go...!

I really don't wanna go!

I don't wanna be apart from Otaru!

Hanagata...

Your father sees you as a grown man now.

You should be happy about that.

It's a great chance to prove yourself as a man!

I'm happy being a good-for-nothing boy!

Come on!

I don't wanna! I don't wanna

You...!

Stop bickering already!

I'm sick and tired of all your whining.

If you don't like it, go tell your father! OK?

There's no way I can tell Daddy.

You're pathetic!

Don't you have the guts to fight for what you want?!

You guys don't know how terrifying Daddy is.

The Life and Times of Kamataro Look!

I didn't know your father was the Japoness sumo champion.

And that's not all.

Sports.

Games.

Sewing.

Picture books.

There's nothing Daddy can't do.

I can't even beat my father in paper, rock, scissors.

Paper, rock, scissors? That's hard to believe.

Let's try, Hana.

Let's play paper, rock, scissors!

Paper, rock, scissors!

All right. I'm going to play scissors next!

Paper, rock, scissors!

I'm so pathetic!

Don't be so hard on yourself, Hanagata!

Everyone's got some special ability!

I'm sure there's something you can beat your father at...

...well, maybe...

My special ability?

You think so? I don't think there's anything.

I'm so pathetic!

He's right. On the bright side, pathetic can mean good-natured.

So, I really am pathetic!

Sorry, my mistake!

I'm just trying to make the best of it!

Let's think positively.

Hey, we can sing a song!

Asong...?

Yes! I can sing!

I've got no brains, no strength, no courage, and no luck!

But I can face Daddy by pouring my burning soul into song.

This morning, a lily blossomed on my verandah.

It gave me a warm, refreshing feeling in my heart.

I'm sure this is what Truth' is to me.

So listen, as I perform for you, "lyokan".

lyokan Composed by: Mitsurugi Hanagata.

A lonely heart in Japoness

Oh love, what is love?

Hmm, the vinyl house

Belonging to you and I

Sweet yet...

More please!

There's none left!

That was delicious, Cherry! Thanks!

Oh, don't mention it.

Hey, Otaru. You're off today, aren't you?

Huh? Yeah.

It looks like a great day today. Let's all go somewhere!

Let's go fishing in the river!

Yeah, fishing.

We could even have a picnic.

Not a bad idea.

We'll pack some lunch and...

How strange. There's no sign of him.

Still, we mustn't take any chances.

Oh, well...

I guess he's not coming if he doesn't show up.

This scrumptious food I'm making...

...will get Master Otaru straight in the heart.

Don't you dare interfere!

It smells great...

Oh my, Master Otarul! It's you...!

Okay, let's get going!

All right!

Hana Hey, aren't we inviting Hana?

We're all going, right?

Never mind him.

He's not one of us.

And that's his cue...

What do you mean by that, you warped marionette"?!

Just as I said.

Huh?

Mr. Otaru Mamiya

Mr. Otaru Mamiya...

I apologize for giving you this notice in writing.

Due to a change in business circumstances...

...we have had to leave immediately for Xian.

My son and I will be leaving Japoness on tonight's train.

I hereby express my gratitude to you for watching over my son.

Kamataro Hanagata.

So...

He's already left.

Hey, Otaru.

Don't you care?

About what?

Hana's leaving.

What are you getting so down about?

It's for his own good, isn't it?

It's much better for him than sitting around in that apartment.

Well, yeah, but I'll be sad without Hana.

It's probably too late now, but...

...you think he's happy just going along...

...with everything his father says?

Sure, he's a clumsy fool, a dimwit, and a total nuisance...

...but I kinda feel sorry for him...

...having seen how he didn't want to go.

Let's go, Otaru.

Let's go and get Hana!

Right?

In this direction, right?

Hey, are you sure this will do it?

Given the time the train left Japoness Station...

...and given the speed of the train...

...you should reach it if we launch you at exactly this angle and speed.

Any questions?

You really can't draw, can you?

Meatballs on a skewer! Meatballs!

Would you be quiet?!

Here we go!

Launch!

Here we go!

Angle and speed are perfect!

We're right on!

Confirmed

Target is in sight!

Is it Otaru?

What do they want?

You've come to take me back!

Right, Otaru?!

Don't get me wrong!

Huh?

I just came to check on your feelings!

Feelings?

Do you want to go to Xian?!

I can't say...

Idiot!

It's not up to me or your father!

It's up to you!

Me?

Well, which is it, Mitsurugi?

Which is it?

Well... I...

Come and catch me, Otaru!

Otaru!

I wish I was a dog, too.

Daddy!

I don't want to! I'm not going to Xian!

I won't go!

But you're the eldest son of the Hanagata family.

You'll eventually take over the Hanagata Trust.

I still don't want to go! No matter what, I don't want to go!

Do you really think that society...

...or I could accept such selfish thinking?

Then, how about a contest, Daddy? If I win, I'l do as I wish!

A contest?

And I'm not kidding!

It can even be something you're good at, like sumo wrestling!

Very well then.

I'm gonna win. I've gotta win!

Take your positions.

I'm making my own life decisions!

Ready... set... go!

Not even close.

I'm not done!

I never said it was a one-shot deal!

Hanagata!

I've gotta win.

No matter what.

Ready... set...

Go!

A fly would put up a better fight.

I'm gonna win!

Hanako!

Leave him alone.

Otaru?!

Don't get in his way.

This is his...

This is his fight.

I'm gonna win.

I'l win and I'l go home!

Kasahari Apartments

Ready... set... go!

Are you awake?

Huh? I'm...

Where am I?

Did I win the contest?

Ordid I...

Of course, you lost pretty miserably.

Then why am I here?

Read this.

To my foolish son...

I never realized just how hopeless you were.

It would take a thousand years before you could take over.

Have the people at the apartments play with you for now!

Mitsurugi...

Daddy...

Hana.

Welcome home.

You were pretty cool, Hana.

You did great.

Otaru!

This morning, a rafflesia bloomed on my verandah.

Listen...

Picking Chestnuts Composed by: Mitsurugi Hanagata "Picking Chestnuts".

Japoness recreation...

Today, I'm picking chestnuts

Cute chestnuts have thorns

I whisper to you

Yoohoo! This is Lime!

For some reason, the saberdolls are acting pretty strange lately.

Is something bothering them?

We were enemies before, but we're very good friends now.

I'm worried about them.

Huh? What's in this letter?

Could this be from you-know-who?!

Saber Marionette J to X. Next episode...

I love you, Otaru!
