Good day! - Hello!

Oh, good day! - Good Afternoon.

Glorious weather, is it not?

Excuse me!

Okay, thanks!

Let's go! - Hey! What are you doing?!

This way! This way!

Stop this right now you little imps! - C'mon, let's go!

What do you think I am?! - Over here! - Go for it!

Your parents will hear about this! - Let's go! Let's do it!

Stop this, I say!

And here's the finish!

And here's the finish! - OK!

Stop this at once! I mean it! - Look at that!

Wow! Look at that head fly! That's so awesome!

It's so high up it'll never come down!

This soup is delicious...

Its warmth is like a sin.

Papa, I'm off to school now. Good luck at work today.

My wife is what you might call a "career woman".

Sometimes though... I'm a bit jealous of her.

She's takes initiative, is always active...

...and works much harder than most men.

Hey, stop it!

How much longer are you going to do this?!

My associates call me a feminist.

I've admitted it to myself, but not them.

Don't surprise me like that!

Lunch break is now over. Return to your workplace.

Yes, Yes... I'm going, I'm going.

I have a secret.

Of course, my family has no idea.

I've never known a mother's love...

Because of this, I had a stronger desire to marry than most men.

But I had always envisioned being married to a more feminine woman.

What's wrong?

Oh, you go on ahead.

Please hurry!

I'll be there as soon as I can.

What is my name?

Meeeeoooow!

I want... ...to experience love.

What are you saying?

I never programmed that phrase into you!

Are you lonely?

What is going wrong here?

I can feel it...

...that your heart is like that of a little boy's.

I'm surprised that you've developed a consciousness.

Don't say strange things!

You shouldn't try to pry into my personal matters.

What is the purpose of my existence?

I want to be with you...

Can a machine feel pain?

Can a robot become sick?

Can a robot possess a personality?

But... I know myself very well.

I want to experience love... and know it's of my own will.

Hmm... the smile and expression you're wearing is so cynical.

You're leaving already?

Yes, father. Next time we'll bring everyone along.

Be nice to mother for me.

Now, say goodbye to your grandfather.

See you later, grandpa.

Next time make me a toy, okay?

Alright, just be careful going home.

Bye bye!

I am... ...still waiting for my prince.

I'm sorry... that I couldn't be your prince on a white horse.

Grandpa...

Grandpa, the wind is starting to pick up.

Grandpa, you're not a kid anymore, so you're going to have to listen to...

Grandpa...?

That jerk!

That jerk! Alright! I'll show you!

Yayoi, all ready?

Yeah, but are we allowed to move it without permission?

Won't all those people in the neighborhood get mad at us?

Idiot! This is a national crisis!

Daimaru, shove a lot of coals in the furnace!

Yeah!

Genjirou, straighten up!

Yes.

Forward!

Come on, come on, come on!

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! You big slob, stop right there!

You are a villain disturbing the peace...

in this time after opening our country to the Westerners!

For the upcoming festival, the people of this town built this machine!

Even though you aren't enough of a challenge...

...to be the target for the first showing of its powers...

I, Sankichi Komagata, won't let you advance one more step from that spot!

I'm going to destroy you, so get ready!

Let's go! Move forward!

Genjirou! Raise the right leg!

Yes, Yes.

Idiot! Watch what you're doing!

Sankichi-kun, someone came out of it!

What? Hey, Genjirou! Stop!

Um... let's see... ah...

A foreigner!

I-it's a foreigner!

Hey Fukusuke, it's a foreigner! What should we do?

Please calm down!

Hey! What's he saying?

Ummm... If it were English I'd understand, but my "American" is a little rusty...

Daimaru! He's firing the big cannon! Get upstairs!

All right!

Damn, he hit us!

Hey what's going on?

Just shut up and be patient!

What did you say?!

Sankichiiiiii! I'm here!

Uh? Isn't that the pipe for the fireworks?

Yeah, but I made some modifications to it!

Here I go!

Okay! - Here we go!

Oooh, pretty!

Huh? What is that under the boards?

It's lined with red bricks!

Such chaos... such chaos...

What are we going to do, Sankichi!?

Okay Daimaru, shoot at that person standing on the shoulder!

What? B-but if we hit him he'd die!

It's okay, just shoot! - Okay!

Ready?

Fire!

We did it!

Were you aiming for that from the beginning?

Huh? Umm, no we weren't...

Okay, now we're going to tear down that machine!

That's enough, stop it!

Huh?

If we keep fighting, we'll destroy the entire neighborhood!

Shut up, this is an important moment!

What did you say, pinhead?!

Pinhead?

Sankichi-kun!

Shut up!

If you don't like being called a pinhead, how about pea-brain, dunce, moron...?

W-What you ugly pig!

Since the last hit we took. something's not working right!

You're too loud, shut up for a moment!

Whaaaat, an ugly pig?

At least I'm not a hot-headed stubborn idiot like you!

Why you...!

Don't try to act so brave either. being as dumb as you are...

Why don't you learn how to read or write?!

Even monkeys are smarter than you!

You... You have a really horrible personality!

You...!

Oh gosh...

Sankichi-kun!

Stupid! - Oh, I'm so sorry!

Hey Sankichi, we've run out of coal!

That's okay, take off some of those boards and burn them!

Here he comes...

Fukusuke, lift up the right arm!

Okay Yayoi, lift the left arm forward and grab his arm!

What are you going to do?

I'm going to throw him into the sea!

Got him!

Keep a good grip on him! Fukusuke, are you ready?

I'm ready!

Daimaru, hold on to something!

Genjirou, are you ready?!

Yeah, I'm ready...

Alright! Raise the left leg and twist!

GOOOOO!

Eh?

Eh? Eh?

Oh my town!

My neighborhood!

We won.

I'm not so sure about that...

That was amazing, huh?

I think we did well!

Everyone, look! It's the rising sun of Japan!

No, that's the sunset!

Oh... ah...

S-Sorry!

W-Well, either way the battle is over!

We defeated the enemy with our own hands!

And, since I restored the peace and saved this town maybe we... ahh...
