Original subtitles

You've arrived, Matilda!

I must settle things with you, Mingmei.

That's all.

You're too naive, Matilda.

Huh

Matilda

Through some strange coincidences, I met three middle-aged men.

The skeletons I found at the construction site

It seems to be their middle school teacher

It's in that area.

Yes, that skull belongs to Matilda.

Matilda was killed

It was our fault.

So you think this is Ms. Miyashita's ballpoint pen?

Therefore, that skeleton must be the remains of the palace's surviving inhabitants.

She was murdered and then sunk into the swamp.

The statute of limitations no longer applies to murder cases.

So even if it's a murder case from 37 years ago

You should investigate too, right?

Even if that skeleton is Lady Miyashita

What makes you say she was murdered?

I also checked.

But no matter how far back I go...

No missing person notices were found that had not been posted in the palace.

That should also be investigated to see if any crime was involved.

For example, doing a DNA test.

That's right...

If the application is submitted by a family member, we will certainly process it.

But what do you all think?

They're complete strangers.

And this is something you found after illegally breaking into the scene.

There are also big problems.

That's enough.

Go call your superiors over here.

There's no way to communicate with a good-for-nothing like you.

I am Inspector Tsurumi

No, you're a gluttonous inspector.

Hey A-Yuan, say something too!

Sorry to bother you so late.

Hello

Feed A Yuan later

Don't count on the police.

This is what we should do.

Let us solve this.

Matilda is calling us

We met once and surprisingly got along quite well.

I accidentally drank too much

I'm sorry to have worried you.

I've finished eating.

Is that enough?

Okay, I'm leaving.

There's news about the president.

Regarding the transfer

You don't need to worry about this.

I'm mentally prepared that I won't be able to transfer to headquarters.

I will continue to work hard in my current department.

This is just...

Temporary measures to allow you to focus on preparing for the trial

Excuse me... are there only the two of you?

One outsourced worker and one casual laborer are enough.

Found

Aren't they all here?

1 5 6 Okay…

1 2 3 4 5

strangeness

Excuse me

Is there an apartment building called Green Village nearby?

Mr. Acheng showed the videotape of Miss Matilda.

After digitizing it, they showed it to us.

This thing is pretty good in itself.

I really miss Betamax videos.

I still can't accept that they lost to VHS.

In terms of performance, the Beta version is better.

So why did VHS successfully increase sales?

That's because

By the way, you don't know VHS or Beta, right?

It's not that I don't know.

Yeah

right

I went to the apartment where Matilda used to live, based on my memory.

The area nearby

It's completely changed and I can't find it at all.

Danbian Middle School also ceased to exist due to school mergers.

All the clues suddenly went cold.

No one has submitted a missing person notice.

So, does that mean she has no family?

Do you still have any classmates you're in touch with?

friend

After all, we were isolated back then.

That was a dark age when otaku were persecuted.

Why not just find the graduation yearbook?

Contact them one by one

It should have been thrown away already.

I've already buried my dark past.

I moved and changed schools a long time ago.

I didn't receive the graduation yearbook at all.

Matilda's time there was also very short.

I wonder if anyone else remembers her.

It feels like a dream.

Where did all the people who were here go?

For example, the grandmother known as the witch and her granddaughter.

Hell's Gatekeeper: Violent Teacher Eto

There was also a smug little hooligan

There were also delinquent teenagers from the neighboring town with whom they had argued several times.

Mr. Trendsetter, who is very sensitive to fashion trends

That terrifying old man named Rambo

And the guy at this video store

Sometimes it's hard to tell if they really existed.

They might think that all of that is just the delusion of a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) otaku.

What I care about a lot

That was the meaning behind Mr. A Yuan's words at that time.

It was our fault.

That's exactly what I thought at the time.

But I can't remember why I thought that way.

December 31, 1988

Even if I want to recall exactly what happened...

I can't tell if it's a dream or a delusion anymore.

I guess I'll just have to start remembering from the beginning.

From the beginning of each of your stories

I didn't have a very good relationship with either of them to begin with.

All I can think about is baseball

Influenced by his older brother from Koshien.

Go Yuta!

Ah Yuan is very popular with girls because he's athletic.

As a result, he injured his elbow and could no longer shoot.

He got into a fight with students from outside the school because he was upset.

In the end, he was forced to leave the department.

This guy is easily captivated.

That's why I joined the Film Studies Department.

He initially declined our invitation.

He said he wasn't a homebody.

This guy is the one who discriminates against otaku the most.

There was nothing we could do; everyone thought we were disgusting back then.

To be honest, I also think we were pretty disgusted back then.

At that time, I felt like I was being pitied by the two of you.

I'm so unwilling to accept this.

and

very good

Don't you dare join any film studies club!

I can't stand otaku.

What terrible ballet!

And what about it?

No...not that, and...

Think about it, your parents must have had arguments back then, right?

That's true.

My parents and Acheng's parents

They all participated in the activities against reconstruction.

Because my dad is the president of the store association.

My father worked for the municipal government.

They are the ones who drive reconstruction.

But now that I think about it...

The arguments between parents have nothing to do with the children, right?

But deep down you really want to join Miss Matilda's group.

Actually, she's quite naive and also has a very easygoing side.

Matilda was both an artist and a first-generation girl.

Maybe she was isolated at school.

We will gather as much information as possible.

Give it a try!

Please let me join too.

After all, I was the one who discovered the skeleton.

social media accounts

Seeking information related to the undispersed members of the Imperial Palace.

We are currently recruiting former art teachers from Danbian Middle School.

Information related to the palace not yet dispersed

Not bad!

But let's change the title to something more compelling.

What does it mean?

Matilda in 1988

How about it

Is that okay?

Isn't it great?

I'm back

What's wrong

The children who were close to her are now avoiding her.

It must have been their parents who told them.

Tell them to stay away from their daughter

Um... I think we should let her calm down first.

Are you alright?

This has sparked strong dissatisfaction on Instagram.

The number of students attending classes has also decreased dramatically.

The future of the two books that were originally scheduled for publication is also uncertain.

That's about it.

Sorry for the wait

I am Yoshii

My wife has always been grateful for your care.

I am the one who has received your kindness.

Please come inside.

I hate it, let's go.

Take a good look

Training scenes between Yuen Biao and Jackie Chan

It must be included.

What amazing moves!

If it were Yoshii and Fujimaki, they could definitely do it.

These are gifts.

Thanks

Come on, cheer me on!

good

Aren't you going to drink?

Carbonated drinks are forbidden in our family.

Haven't you tried it?

They say the bones will dissolve.

Of course it's a lie.

Okay, let's try it.

What's so good about those middle-aged women?

That's so rude!

You know nothing about that person's true nature.

Everyone looks very energetic!

Yoshii is very popular with girls.

I'm sorry, I like Koji Shibata.

Fujimaki, a lot of people must hate you, right?

Always saying things that make people uncomfortable

Kikuhara may not have much of a presence, but she's very cute.

I hate it, I miss it so much!

I really miss it.

Who is she?

That's so unfair, can't you remember?

I am Yoko Ishii from the brass band.

Oh, short hair

The one with short hair

I can't recognize her at all

Ishii...

We used to call her Matilda

Do you still remember Miyashita-sensei?

I remember that person was amazing!

That's incredible!

How could it be so incredible?

Her appearance in adult films exposed her...

What?

Didn't they used to have those matchmaking agencies?

She did this when she was in school.

Who are you talking about?

Miyashita Misa, who teaches art

It was the cause of various problems in the past.

Miyashita Misanba, who was dismissed from school

Were you fired?

Did it disappear like this?

Seriously, that's why you boys are so out of touch.

All the girls know that.

She targeted male students at her previous school.

That's outrageous! She looks so innocent.

She's a super gossipy person by nature.

Even so, I still miss it so much.

I said, let's get together again next time!

I still keep in touch with Mari Ueda.

Hey... are you guys listening?

Don't you know?

She was kicked out.

I don't know if it just didn't reach our ears.

Or should we pretend we didn't hear?

I don't believe it.

Who exactly is that person?

One person kept chattering away.

Something was jingling around her neck.

Was she there to show off?

It doesn't make sense to dig up bones and a ballpoint pen from a swamp.

If someone reveals your past disappointment in life

It would make sense for him to throw himself into the swamp.

No need to force rationality

Acheng Jinbao

What?

Do you still remember the big leaf lamp?

Your girlfriend is inside the large lamp.

That's not how it is.

She is also our Mingmei

Akemi

The female lead in our movie

The name was changed from a certain anime.

Lin Mingmei is so cute!

Oh, so cute! But compared to this...

The scene of fighting against the robots designed by the Valkyrie

The robot's light movements

The emergence of missiles was truly epoch-making.

Let Itano Ichiro

That is, the Itano Circus is known to the world.

Macross

Nothing

Thank goodness you stopped.

He didn't stop.

In short, she is very beautiful and intelligent.

She's like Madonna at school.

What happened to Miss Akemi?

I have a strange memory

Matilda and Minmei duel by the swamp

I ran for my life to stop them.

But I missed it.

Matilda was murdered by Minmei and her companions.

He was thrown into the swamp

Do you have this memory?

No

Do we have scenes like that in our movies?

No, it's just your imagination.

But I remember it very clearly.

He's just a teenager, how could he have such fantasies?

You think the mental age of a chuunibyou boy is...

Similar to fourth grade of elementary school

Even fantasy

Why did A-Yuan have such fantasies back then?

I think it's worth discussing.

Is it possible to contact her?

We've had absolutely no contact since graduating from high school.

Let's ask that person in the green shirt for help.

Is it Ms. Ito?

Ms. Ueda

Ms. Abe

Ms. Ishii

Oh, Akemi?

She will definitely become a good woman.

Hmm, is it possible that you two might rekindle your old flame?

No way

You are clearly very happy.

Paradise Lost...

Loss of pleasure…

Never mind

Matilda

My advisor when I joined the Film Studies Club in my second year of middle school

Now that you mention it, it's true.

What moment in your life was you a homebody?

I don't remember much about the teacher.

Yeah

What happened to her?

No

Don't hesitate!

I know you don't like your new workplace.

I know you have a lot of free time.

But it's precisely at times like these that self-discipline is needed.

If you do something that others can use against you.

It would make one an enemy of the world.

Recent trials will also be influenced by public sentiment.

I haven't done anything wrong.

I'm telling you to behave yourself.

What are the prospects?

We are currently working with lawyers to develop a strategy, but the situation remains unclear.

Be prepared to go to the Supreme Court.

How many more years do I have to watch over the warehouse?

I am fifty-one years old

Just bear with it.

I come back

Don't act on your own.

You went to the school and the publishing house, right?

I think it's best to explain this properly.

have a finger in the pie

Don't you understand?

The more you get involved, the more counterproductive it will be.

What should I do?

You don't need to do anything.

How can I do nothing?

I need to prioritize your and Aya's matter.

So I didn't complain about following the company's arrangements.

I mean you don't need to think about these things.

Is it possible for the company to let you resign whenever you want?

How can I resign?

I want to protect the company and you.

You're not protecting us.

Whatever you're trying to do, you're not protecting us.

Mind your own business

Akari

I said, "Would you like to act in our movie?"

The female lead only has a small amount of screen time.

The character's name is Akemi

She's a town girl who's very good at dancing.

By evil forces…

How could I possibly play someone who's too stupid?

Why pretend to be so arrogant?

She thinks she's Brooke Shields.

Okay, then let Matilda play the role.

Matilda should have come from the beginning.

Akari

Get on the bus!

Can you accept this, Yuan?

You've completely turned into a delinquent!

You are no longer Akemi, you are Saki Asamiya.

This place is now full of tennis balls.

There's a football game this afternoon.

I'll probably send about 20.

Hello... are you Akemi?

Come with us.

Let me go, you rude bastard!

Hello

Take your hand off that person

What are you doing?

Invest a little more emotion

Take your hand off that person

Take your hand off that person

Take your hand off that person

Take your hand off that person

What are you looking at?

That's so stupid, it's hilarious.

I won't give the role of Akemi to anyone else.

Unless you can act more charmingly than me

Do you want me to act in this?

I don't particularly want you to act, just be quiet.

Um

The location for the climax is a problem.

We need to find a suitable location for the final duel.

How about the swamp?

I'll head back now.

Is the teacher not coming today?

I was called out by Mingmei.

You mean inside the lamp?

She said she had something important to talk to me about.

I'm going to settle things once and for all.

This is Matilda versus Akemi!

So, how do you film a swamp scene?

I guess I still have to make kung fu movies.

marvelous

OK

What's wrong, Yuan?

You guys go first.

Get on the bus!

Thank you for your patronage, and welcome to visit again.

Is this the place?

Right?

Have we been here before?

have no idea

Meet

Welcome!

Feel free to sit anywhere if there are empty seats.

Is it that person?

Big...maybe

Have you decided what to call it?

Do you have any recommendations for okonomiyaki?

Pork and Egg Mixed Flavor

Give me four then.

Okay, four right?

Yes

There's no mistake

yes

Boss lady, we're here!

Welcome! Are you already drunk?

Huh, didn't that girl who works today come?

Yu-chan is resting today.

What? I thought only young girls came here.

Only the auntie was there.

Sorry, it's just me, an old lady.

I'm sitting here

Please have a seat…

That's just how reality is.

What are you disappointed about?

You've been very rude since just now.

Isn't she pretty?

Everyone gets old.

Mr. A Yuan, why don't you go and say something to her?

yes

Um

It's so delicious!

Thanks

It's really delicious, isn't it, Mr. Yuan?

yes

Go Yuta!

Let's head back now.

Since we've already come all this way...

She definitely doesn't remember me.

If you explain it to her carefully, she will remember.

yes…

Let's regroup and try again. I'm going to pay the bill.

etc…

I want to check out

OK

Let me check, the total is 3,960 yen.

I'm relieved to see you look so energetic.

I saw the news and I was very worried about you.

You've been unable to withstand setbacks since childhood.

You look great, that's wonderful.

I've completely turned into an old lady, have I disappointed you?

Come again anytime you want to eat.

Another beer, ma'am!

Here

Do you still remember Matilda?

Why did she disappear?

Because some strange past was exposed

They were kicked out or something.

Some people are spreading rumors and gossip for no reason.

They said she filmed adult videos at a dating agency or something similar.

Is that true?

She was probably the older sister you all admired back then.

But the girls actually really disliked her.

Why bring up something from so long ago now?

Because...because bones were dug up in the swamp.

I remember you asked Matilda to go out once.

Matilda said she wanted to settle things with you.

Maybe I remembered it wrong.

Do you mean I killed Matilda?

Has the beer not arrived yet?

I'll be right there.

Why would I do that?

Don't you hate Matilda?

Because she stole A Yuan

You took on the role of Akemi.

Wasn't it also because they wanted to fight against Matilda?

Moreover, girls' jealousy can sometimes get out of control.

That's also possible...

We were middle school students back then!

Didn't you have a high school student you were dating at the time?

Electric bicycle

Even if you didn't lay a hand on your boyfriend...

The proprietress brought the beer.

If the older woman doesn't even have a warm attitude

What's left?

We treat older women as women.

We really like the sagging flesh of older women.

You need to watch your manners, that's very rude.

What did you say?

Don't get in my way.

You have no right to say such things to me.

Get out

Stop arguing.

Stop

Apologize

Yes, apologize to her.

You're the one who should apologize.

Apologize to my important regular customer

terribly sorry

sorry…

sorry

Are you alright? You don't need to pay today.

Welcome back next time, sorry.

Welcome to visit again next time

sorry

I can't stand you being mocked like that.

The economy was really good back then.

The decadent lifestyle of adults during the bubble era

We were very satisfied with what we saw.

When we enter society

The bubble has long since burst completely.

I originally wanted to enter the clothing industry, but I didn't succeed.

But finally, I got a job at a car-related company.

Because I'm pretty good-looking.

My job involves serving tea and water, and entertaining guests with drinks.

Sexually harassed and forced to smile

Those men aren't as smart as me, and their work skills are worse.

Some people even bluntly said it was a job for lovers.

But even that kind of work

After I turned thirty, I was replaced by a younger girl.

So I opened my own shop.

While helping her scumbag ex-husband pay off his debts, she also raised her daughter.

Selling okonomiyaki every day to earn some living expenses

Being said those things is nothing.

Everyone is struggling to survive every day.

Willing to give up dignity and live a humble life

The same goes for those drunkards.

My boyfriend, who rides an electric bike, is also working hard in the transportation industry.

There are countless children whose middle school years are the peak of their lives.

Dress up carefully for the class reunion

They chatted about memories from back then.

That's their only fun.

They knew the future would only become more painful.

But they still moved forward steadily without complaint.

I feel sorry for you, an elite who takes the winner's path.

Most infuriating

Don't be so self-righteous.

What a busybody!

I'm finished.

I was almost sent to the frontier by the company.

I was ordered not to do anything.

My wife and daughter also told me not to do anything unnecessary.

I have no value anymore.

Even if it takes several years

I won the case by luck

How old was I then?

I have already…

I can't go back to my old workplace or my old life.

I'm finished too.

I called Matilda out.

It's because I want to apologize to her.

I spread those rumors.

What kind of adult movie lover agency?

Both real and fake

Yes

I'm so jealous that she stole you away.

I confessed and apologized to her.

You've arrived, Matilda!

We must settle this once and for all, Mingmei.

She knew everything.

Nothing

Isn't a slightly unpleasant past more stylish?

How did things go after that incident in the office?

Just laugh it off.

I actually hope they can believe a little more.

Honestly

Actually, someone like me is simply not cut out to be a teacher.

Speaking of which, your scenes will be filmed tomorrow, right?

But simply being kidnapped by the villain is too cliché.

I think it would be better if you resisted.

Like Shiho Mieko

Let's give it a try!

Prepare this as a sword

The two swords missed each other and struck the wrist.

She said she was simply incapable of being a teacher?

Although I don't quite understand

But she's been through a lot in the past, hasn't she?

One more thing

I accepted the role of Mingmei

It wasn't just because of jealousy of Matilda

It's because I think you guys are great.

Even though I'm still acting like a teenager, I'm still fascinated by those stupid things.

Yuta was extremely serious.

Over-practicing injured his heel, making it impossible for him to play baseball.

I thought you would become depressed.

He then turned around and went into the Film Studies Department.

He then spent the entire night studying the film.

In the blink of an eye, he became a formidable otaku.

Make a weird movie with a group of weirdos

I think men...

Being a little silly is good too.

You just stood up for me

I'm a little happy

Yuta is still Yuta after all.

Stubborn and obstinate

Extremely serious and always working hard

The same applies now.

so

You'll definitely be fine.

Don't give up

Those who run in the lead must take responsibility.

Because there are also people who have been working hard until now, watching your back as you walk away.

Don't just say it's over and it's over.

Give me that attitude to the very end.

That's great, Mingmei-nee!

Who are you, and whose daughter are you?

No, that's not how it is.

Our relationship is hard to explain.

Don't misunderstand, he's not the father.

Because Mr. Acheng mentioned something like "Paradise Lost".

I don't feel comfortable letting the older men go on their own.

I did say that.

So I was in charge of leading the way.

I've thought about it several times too.

If only we could have consulted with Matilda back then

Will life be different?

Find the guy who killed Matilda!

This is what Acheng got for us.

Akari

Stop calling yourself an old auntie or an old lady.

For us

Whether now or in the past, you have always been Akemi.

You must be Akemi.

She really is the legendary beauty, come with us!

Let go of the rude person

Don't struggle, come with us.

Hey... take your hand off that person.

Huh

it hurts…

Cut and script are different

Isn't that interesting?

Now it's an era where even the female protagonist has to fight.

Clarice's evolved form is Nausicaä.

But this is different from the script I wrote.

Okay... let's continue.

Good, very good

It's easy to defeat them.

Keep going, don't lose!

I really want to meet Matilda too!

that

I miss Ah Yuan so much. I was so happy to see you there.

Did you know there's this on the back too?

It's Xiao Dun.

What little pause

Matilda's original character

Stand tall, chest out, and cheer up!

I remember

Why I joined the Film Studies Club

Don't you want to be called a homebody?

That's what's outdated.

Even if I'm laughed at and embarrassed

Injured and covered in mud

To be able to live on with an unflinching expression

Isn't that the kind of person who's stylish?

Memory is just memory, not fact.

Everyone veils their memories in their own way.

Turning memories into stories

Hello

I…

I remember now.

I saw it.

When that veil is lifted

Do we really have the courage to face it?

I apologize for doing something unnecessary.

But I still can't bring myself to ignore your affairs.

When you encounter difficulties in the future

I will do my best.

Although mistakes may still be made

But I will do my best.

I also want to apologize to you.

I'm so sorry, but...

Let's get a divorce.

Is there hope ahead...?

I realized I'm already fifty! What am I going to do?

Do you still think you're a genius after making a mistake?

It's really not easy to survive.

Creating content means facing criticism.

We're only fifty years old.

You bastard, don't look down on people.
