Original subtitles

Allow me to say a few words first.

This is a work of fiction.

It's not about real people.

And definitely not about real places.

Let's get started!

Long long ago

The lands of Tokyo, Saitama, and the eastern part of Kanagawa were one province.

Its name was Musashi.

In 1871 the feudal system was abolished

and Tokyo City, the most important part of Musashi, became its own prefecture.

Yokohama, which became an important city after the

opening of the port in the last year of the shogunate

merged with the country south of Musashi, Sagami.

It is now Kanagawa Prefecture

In short, all the good parts were taken.

Only one part was left, without access to the sea.

This is the current Saitama Prefecture.

Known for the highest temperatures in Japan

Kumagaya City, Saitama Prefecture, today expects temperatures to exceed 40 degrees

It will be a very hot day.

Asako's egg is late today.

Time is running out.

We should go.

Wait, let me dry the laundry first.

Why are you hanging your clothes out now?

Dad, please dress up.

You are not going to wear this.

I will get a jacket.

Please put on something else.

Why do you want to get engaged in Tokyo?

Is there any way to go to work in Tokyo?

Your boyfriend is also from Saitama.

Why are you not staying here?

Saitama and Gunma are basically the same.

He's from Urawa!

But that's in Saitama city?

I'm going to be a Tokyo native soon anyway.

Where are you going to live?

I'm not sure, maybe Sangenjaya or Nakameguro.

You said from an early age

you dreamed of getting married one day and moving to Tokyo.

Why don't you like Saitama?

Because it's lame.

Lame?

It's so shameful to go to Tokyo with these license plates.

So wack.

Don't you have a sense of pride in your home prefecture?

No.

The capital of Saitama is actually written in hiragana.

So stupid.

I want to go back.

What about my engagement?

As a special broadcast, let's talk about an urban legend about Saitama.

Listen.

This sound like something you'll like.

A long time ago, the Saitama people were discriminated by the Tokyo people.

They had to sneak into the city.

Awesome!

Nobody move!

Freeze!

(Saitama)

There he is! The Saitamese!

Are you okay? Wake up!

You're under arrest!

Please help.

Show your visa.

I'm sorry, I don't have one.

Take him out.

Please, no.

Help me.

That's how it was.

Without a visa, you couldn't even enter Tokyo.

Saitama Pass

If you were found, you were thrown out immediately.

Take him back.

He has to leave.

What the hell?

How did they know?

Special surveillance cameras were installed in the streets

They monitor the presence of stowaways without a visa.

Send him back to Chichibu

The people of Saitama were eager to get rid of this inhumane practice.

And have freedom of travel.

What is this?

This is Saitama's favorite radio channel.

They're insulting Saitama.

They pray that one day there will be a savior

to save Saitama.

This urban legend tells the story of Saitama's liberation.

And the story of a group of people who worked tirelessly.

Change it to Tokyo Radio.

This is a story about the revolution.

Wait, revolution.

Turn the sound up.

What's this song.

No one knows

Here is Saitama

As far as you can see

Everywhere is Saitama

Fly Me To The Saitama

Hakuhodo Academy, Tokyo

Asami is the son of a wealthy entrepreneur from Marunouchi.

He's coming back from the United States.

He's totally elite.

Please introduce yourself.

I am Asami Rei.

So handsome

He has that American scent.

Asami, you are sitting in the last row.

Ok.

Nice to meet you! I'm the class leader.

I will take you to the school president later.

President?

The son of the governor of Tokyo.

He excels at academics and sports.

Although only a 2nd grade student he was elected as student president.

He's the top student.

You're too close.

They expect him to become governor.

He's so cool.

- Right? - Right?

Asami, you must win the president’s goodwill.

Why?

Why, for a long time no boys have transferred to this school.

- Right? - Right?

Asami, do you want to become governor of Tokyo?

You could be.

This school is known as a politician breeding ground.

The shortcut to becoming a governor is

graduating from Hakuhodo Academy.

I've heard of it.

After all, he's in Class A.

Asami’s urban index is quite high.

Urban index?

It's how used one is to urban life.

Most of the students in Class A live in Akasaka and Aoyama.

What about class B?

Class B to Class D are from the upper class of the city.

They live in the Central District, Shinjuku City, Yokohama.

The E class is very bad.

Technically they are from Tokyo. But they live in Tanashi and Hachioji.

Urban index is zero.

What's over there?

Don't look at that!

The people in that class used to live in Saitama.

They're only allowed here because their parents work in Tokyo.

Aren't they also from Tokyo then?

Don't put us together with those people!

I can't stop shaking.

Even though they have a visa they still can't walk freely on the street.

It’s terrible to be from Saitama.

Saying Saitama so much...

...my mouth is becoming Saitamese!

Ok, let's go to the student president.

Let's go

President, we brought the transfer student.

Come here.

excuse me

Student Association

So you are Asami Rei.

I have read your information.

I am the student president

Momomi?

That's a woman's name

You're one to talk.

Please go.

Let's go and resume the campus tour

Leave us!

Yes, I'm sorry.

Let's go.

I saw your transfer application.

You have been in the United States for many years, that means nothing here.

Now you are here...

...you respond to me

follow me

I will show you around campus.

Not only do you look the part...

Your urban index is also quite high.

I'll allow you to be my entourage.

Are you OK

Masako, it’s okay.

Just a little more

You are from Z class.

What are you doing on the Tokyo campus?

President

Sorry

She is suddenly sick. We need to take her to the infirmary.

Only Tokyo people who can use the infirmary

But she is in much pain.

Can you allow us to see the doctor?

I beg you.

Simple weeds are enough for you Saitamese!

If you are from Saitama, you will recover.

Sorry

Masoko, let's go back.

okay.

Can you stand up?

Then let's find you some weeds

Ok, let's go.

President!

Are you OK?

What are you doing?

When people abuse their powers,

my foot gets a mind of its own.

Asshole!

Are you choosing the side of the Saitamese?

Not at all.

I will get you for this!

Just you wait!

Masako

Try this now.

Eating those weeds won't cure you

Take this

Eat it

Thank you

Why help us, you are in class A

Can I look inside?

Wait!

What a dump this is

You can't stay here

Will be stained with the smell of Saitama

I don't care

You are really studying in this dump?

Correct

The people studying here All rely on parents to donate to the school

We can barely stay here So we are not in a position to complain

Then why come to this school?

If you can graduate from here

I will be qualified to live Tokyo in the future.

It’s much better than staying in the countryside of Saitama.

Why do you belittle yourself?

Is Saitama not your home

Aren't people from Saitama proud of their heritage?

Taro fell into the pit toilet!

Again?

I'll come straight away

Apologies, I need to leave

Father, tell the chairman

to immediately expel that rude transfer student!

Aoyama

That guy, he is the son of

the president's of the largest security firm in Tokyo Marunouchi

He is a force to be reckoned within the financial world.

We can't treat him lightly.

But father, he chose the side of the Z class!

Are you going to disobey me?

No...

Husband, is there any other way?

If Momomi doesn't like someone, why don't you expel him?

I said so, no.

Rumor is, his father

donated 1 billion yen to the school

One billion?

When Momomi wants to run for governor of Tokyo

He may be very helpful.

If you don’t understand something, don’t meddle with it.

Do you understand?

Master

It is time for the banquet.

Your car has arrived.

What just happened?

Why doesn't he care for us?

I understand your frustration as his wife.

This is for the sake of his son, Momomi.

Yes

I feel that Momomi is treated unfairly.

But madam...

You have to be careful about this man.

Mr. Asami's son?

I have seen those eyes before.

I will be careful.

Giant footprints are found in the savage Gunma prefecture.

Judging from their size they may be from an unknown creature.

Tokyo has dispatched a professional investigation team.

Image of giant creature Unknown amphibious organism

Keeping a close eye on the investigation...

the government announced a state of emergency in the surrounding area

It is very dangerous.

This is such nonsense.

Please do not approach Gunma Prefecture.

It all belongs to the Kanto area.

How was your first day at school?

Disappointing

Hakuhodo Academy is full of arrogant people

and grovelers who depreciate themselves.

Is that so?

Your father has sent a message.

I hope your journey to Japan went smoothly.

There is much work to be done.

It goes without saying but,

Don't forget your mission.

We adopted you into our family.

In order to improve your urban index.

I sent you to the United States.

This is all for you to become the future governor of Tokyo

After becoming the governor of Tokyo, you must abolish the visa system.

And free Saitama.

The future of Saitama is in your hands.

This video will self destruct in five seconds.

This transfer student is the hero who saved Saitama.

So that's how it went.

Dad, it's just an urban legend.

Automatically destroyed after five seconds?

That is such a Mission Impossible rip-off.

What did you say?

This is not an urban legend.

Now those in Tokyo are still looking down on Saitama.

Isn't that for a good reason?

Why are we being looked down upon by them?

Of all the prime ministers this country had

not even one came from Saitama.

And...

we have she smallest average cup size of Japan!

Talking about yourself now are you?

Did you see this?

Only Saitama has an A cup.

Average cup size of women by prefecture. Saitama=A

There is nothing in Saitama.

It’s too bad.

People didn't find out about Asami Rei

or his goals yet.

Student council notice

We will introduce you to the transfer student. All students please quickly gather in the auditorium.

The president is holding a public execution!

Let's watch how Asami fares

Sure enough, not even a boy from Class A Can stand a chance against the president

True

The boy's bright future will be cut short by our president

What a waste

Asami's campus career is coming to an end today.

I will introduce you to the following.

Rei Asami, who just transferred to the third grade A class

Asami

Please introduce yourself

And discuss solutions to the heat island problem in Tokyo

In English of course

What happened?

I heard that you are proficient in various languages.

Maybe I got it wrong.

Hello everyone, I am Rei Asami.

Solutions to the heat island issue include artificial reduction of heat

generated in urban areas.

(French) Other measures to reduce heat

like wind roads, tree planting, and surface paving

will also produce effects

(Spanish) If you build a wind road in the suburbs

This will promote the circulation of air

(Mandarin) Then the circulation of the air will cool down the city...

Enough!

Your introduction is too long.

- This was your idea... - Shut up

The game is on.

Next you will be judged by me.

Are you suitable for class A?

The subject of the judgment is

"Tokyo Tasting"

This is unfair!

He just returned from the United States!

What does Tokyo Tasting mean?

It's very simple.

You smell the air in the bottle.

Then judge where in Tokyo it came from.

If your Urban Index is so high.

You will easily pass this test.

I accept your test.

Do your best Rei!

By the way, this took me 3 minutes and 12 seconds.

I like to see how long it takes you.

Then...

Let's start.

This is from a place with many people.

But the smell is still young.

This comes from the Scramble Crossing

Shibuya

That's correct.

So quickly.

That one was easy.

Next.

It smells like high-end perfume.

Filtered through the air ducts of hotels.

There's an aroma of high class.

An elegant atmosphere.

Ginza?

No.

There is also the smell of small children

And the taste of early lunch at noon.

This one…

It's from a neighborhood where high-class ladies gather.

Shirogane.

Correct.

Next question.

One minute 45 seconds.

He is faster than the president.

What's wrong?

What is this smell?

2 minutes and 12 seconds.

There is still one minute left to beat the president’s record.

You don't know it?

Can't smell it?

This is a very pungent spicy taste.

It feels like it’s from abroad.

It makes me think of India.

But

But there is a hint of sea breeze.

This one…

It's from the area of Tokyo where the most Indians live.

It's also very close to the sea.

Nishi-Kasai.

That's correct.

Is Nishi-Kasai not in Chiba Prefecture?

I don't believe it.

I thought it was in Chiba Prefecture too.

What is my time?

3 minutes…

10 seconds

You won.

Nishi-Kasais urban index is very low.

I didn't think you would guess it.

Let me go.

Let me down.

I will take you to the nurse.

You must feel good about yourself.

Making me look like a fool.

- Isn't this all your idea? - Shut up!

You are smart.

Excellent leadership skills.

If you were a bit nicer

you would be very cute.

Cute?

What are you saying?

Sorry.

It's a habit I developed in the United States.

Be more honest with yourself.

This...

What is this feeling..

Like my heart was tightly held.

President

Are you alright?

I am fine.

I'm glad you are ok.

Please pay more attention to your body.

Thanks for caring.

President, your driver will pick you up.

Please rest well.

I am fine now. Thank you.

What happened to everyone suddenly?

You never showed your weakness before.

You always work hard to stay at the top.

But now

They know that you also have a weak side.

That makes them closer to you.

Asami...

Are you still dizzy?

No...

what are you doing

It's nothing

You're such a weird guy.

That...

You will accompany me to the mall this weekend.

the mall?

I'm knitting a sweater for you.

I need you to choose the yarn.

So you are Asami.

I've heard a lot about you from my son.

I heard you are a great young man.

Thank you so much.

Please get along with my son.

Ok

Father, what are you talking about?

What do mean get along with...

I need to finish up my work

I'll take my leave

Father, have a safe trip.

Rei

I am going to prepare, let me wait for me.

Can I please use the restroom?

Of course you can, its in the hall

That is the Governor of Tokyo's office.

Apologies

I am looking for a bathroom

I smell a Saitamite

Thirty years ago, I heard about someone who looks a lot like you.

He was Saitamese

But he didn't look like it

He could walk the streets of Tokyo without causing anyone’s doubts.

Some people even mistook him for the wealthy who live in Yamate.

People called him

"Duke of Saitama"

Duke of Saitama?

He summoned a group of Saitama people who were smuggled into Tokyo.

Formed an underground organization

And sent people to sneak into government agencies and police departments

There they waited for an opportunity to launch a military coup

But

One day his true identity was exposed.

He desperately escaped

And was wounded in a sword fight

That would have left a scar on his face till this day

If he is still alive

Who are you?

What are we going to do next?

Did something happen?

It's nothing

Are we not going to the mall?

sure

But before going there, I wanted to have some fun

I reserved it just for you. Only urban people allowed.

You need to loosen up a little

Yes, let's go eat ice cream.

You can feed me

Eat it yourself.

That's no fun! You need to play along

Say...

Where is your butler from?

Are you talking about Akutsu?

I never asked him.

But since he is a housekeeper He should be from Komae or Machida

Do you want to eat your ice cream?

This sound

Is a Saitama alarm

Kayo

Mr. Rei

Mr. Rei

Kayo, come here.

Hurry up

Mr. Rei, I am really sorry.

My son insisted that I bring him here. I just had to...

- OK, hide first. - Rei

Is this lady an acquaintance?

They are here

Hurry up

Stop

Wait a minute

They are not Saitamese

She is my maid

Maid?

Don't lie

Commence scan

Are covering for a Saitamite?

Grab them

Don't touch my maid

I know

You're from Saitama yourself!

What are you talking about?

Rei came from the United States and lives in the port area.

Then please prove that you are not a Saitamite.

Step on this

A rice wafer?

It has the collared dove on it.

This is the symbol of Saitama.

Since you said that you are not from Saitama

It should be easy to step on it.

Step on it

what's wrong?

Can't you step on it?

Step on it!

Rei! What are you doing?

Step on it, quickly.

Rei

Rei! Quickly.

Step on it!

what happened?

Can't you do it?

What are you doing?

Why don't you step on it?

You really are from Saitama!

What if I am?

Saitama pose

catch him!

do not move

Saitamese?

Don't shoot

Rei, please hurry.

Stop

Grab them

Kayo

Rei, hurry, get out of here!

Kayo, sorry.

what on earth is going on

It’s all a lie!

How can you be Saitamese?

it is true

You don't have to run with me anymore.

From here I will go by myself.

Wait

Even if you are from Saitama, it doesn't matter.

I want to be with you

Then do you want to go with me?

To Tokorozawa

To... to...

Rei

To...

No!

Move!

Run legs!

Rei

Emergency broadcast

We discovered that Asami Rei from Class A

It’s actually a hidden Saitamese

It’s unbelievable that Rei is from Saitama.

I actually thought someone from Saitama was cute.

Rei Asami is actually Saitamese.

He said when he came here...

we should be proud of Saitama

Even so

We can't be associated with Rei anymore.

Else we may be punished more severely,

Let's go back

Gunma County, known for its mystery

The investigation team is missing

From the damage done to the camp

They may have been attacked by monsters.

Momomi is with him?

how is this possible?

Dear...

What happened?

Rei Asami

Is actually a hidden Saitamese

He is now fleeing with Momomi

What's all this?

Master Momomi is in love.

how is this possible

shameless

Bring him back to me immediately

Rei

Momomi

Where are you going to hide?

Ikebukuro is a famous place for Saitama people.

Many Saitamese live in this place

It is also safer than anywhere else.

- but you can't stay here all the time - I know

I will return to Saitama to regain strength.

You said you have to go back

But the road back to Saitama from here is blocked.

I am going through Ibaraki Prefecture.

I... I...

Is that the place where they eat rotting soybeans?

How about taking the train?

From Ueno by the Toki Line to the border station in Chiba Prefecture

From there to Toride.

Then I will walk to the border of Saitama Prefecture.

Are you crazy.

There is no other way.

Please don't do this.

I beg you

You don't have to force yourself

After this

I can go alone

So Momomi and Rei are together now

Despite their differences

Wait for me

I am from Saitama

I really feel helpless sometimes.

what?

Do you remember?

When we were on honeymoon in Saipan

A local lady asked where we came from.

I replied

"We are from Tokyo"

I still remember.

The lady looked very good.

You are such a hypocrite

You are asking others to love Saitama.

I'm a terrible person.

Deep inside, I feel that Saitama is a shameful place.

Can you believe it.

I faked my birthplace

After seeing how Rei lived

I reflected upon myself

from now on

I also want to live for Saitama.

The wind tells us

good to eat

too delicious

Regardless of that

What's up with your pose?

you don't know?

These are the gray wings

Circle the index finger and thumb

It is the ball (tama) of Saitama

It’s amazing.

Say this urban legend

Isn't it about liberating Saitama?

This is just a boys love story

Tokorozawa

Have you found Rei?

Yes

very sorry

Where is Asama Rei?

It's the Saitama Attack Team!

They even found this place?

Saruhashi!

I have something to ask of you.

Tokiwa line

The next stop is Kashiwa City.

Wait a minute, we don't have to go to slimy Ibaraki.

We can go to Matsudo

After crossing the Katsushika Bridge, we enter Saitama

No

why

Since a long time ago, Saitama and Chiba have been at each others throat.

Fighting whose visa requirement gets canceled first

And that bridge is on the front line

Of the Saitama and the Chiba liberation front

Liberation front?

If we were caught by the Chiba liberation front

We may suffocate and die

They will stuff your body holes with peanuts

And then put you to work on the beach

Pulling fish nets all day

- While stuffed with peanuts? - Yes.

Never allow a peanut to fall out

What if one falls out?

is that a lie?

I know

Let's follow the route you said.

I don't want to die yet

Doesn't Ibaraki repulse you?

I will try my best to endure

and so

Let me kiss you again.

Passengers please pay attention

Because a group of wildebeest is crossing the railway

We were forced to make a temporary stop

Wildebeest?

Is this the African savanna?

We expect to resume tomorrow morning

Hey

Wait a minute, no.

We are still in Chiba

If you get off here,

no way

Please don't!

Is it really okay?

I do not know

But we must go on

It reeks of rotting soy sauce here

Find them!

What's going on there?

Look

They are the Chiba liberation front.

What are they doing

Here is where the Saitamites dig tunnels.

Saitama's lifelong wish

Is access to the sea

The sea?

They wanted to dig to the coast in Ibaraki

Beginning of Meiji-era

to transfer the sea water.

Three generations long they were digging this tunnel.

To get some seafood.

I hope one day Saitama will make it.

But

Sea water! It's the sea!

What is this?

This is an eel!

Fresh water???

They dug to Lake Hinuma.

Their plan was ruined.

Wait a minute.

Build a tunnel to the sea?

Are all people from Saitama stupid?

Sorry

Since then

the Chiba liberation front has blocked this area

To make sure they don't dig a new tunnel?

Correct.

Are they all stupid?

You are very knowledgeable.

Everyone knows about this.

But to be honest, I came from Tochigi

To To.. Tochigi

Oh, I'm not so shocked.

I guess Tochigi is not that bad anymore.

Hey

Where are we going?

This is the wrong road.

It's not the wrong road...

...for us.

Get off.

Get off, hurry!

It's the Chiba Liberation Front.

Welcome to Chiba Prefecture!

Kujukuri

Akutsu, it's you?

Master Momomi does not know?

I'm from Chiba.

Please be a good boy and wait here.

Someone will take you back to Tokyo soon.

Wait, don't hurt Rei.

Please, don’t fill his holes with peanuts.

Rei

Don't

Rei's holes.

Rei's holes.

First of all.

Let's start with your nostrils.

Stop

Rei

I have warned you.

To stop with this nonsense.

What were you doing at the governor's house?

My goal is the same as yours.

To abolish the need for visas.

That's it

But unlike the former Duke of Saitama.

I know it's stupid to fight Tokyo by force.

I became the butler of the governor.

And bribed him.

Even pleasured his wife.

So I can take advantage of him.

Thanks to me

Many things in Chiba are now called Tokyo.

Tokyo German Village

LaLaport Tokyo Bay

Ito Ham Tokyo Factory

Tokyo Bay City Traffic

Because they are called Tokyo

Chiba is becoming more urbanized every year.

You are just assimilated by Tokyo.

Have you got no pride for your hometown?

With pride for your home... Can you abolish the need for visas?

After that.

I will hand you and Momomi over to the governor.

In exchange for removing the visa requirement

After Akutsu finished his plan.

All were laughing

Akutsu, you nasty Chibanese.

Dad, we are in Chiba.

What?

Really

Isn't this the way to my hometown?

It's a force of habit.

Unbelievable, we are going to be late.

I can turn around there, it's fine.

Be careful you Chibaraki idiot!

What did you say?

Are you comparing my beloved Chiba to Ibaraki?

- Oh no. - They are both in the Kanto region.

Chiba and Ibaraki are very different!

Anyway, you're from Saitama.

You're from the middle of nowhere.

Middle of nowhere?

- Can we just go? - It’s the sticks!

I can tell you

You claim to be from Saitama, but you have a Gunma dialect.

Kumagai is Gunma.

Gu-n-ma.

The wind is blowing from Akagi Mountain.

You know that.

Kumagai is in Saitama!

- I'm leaving the car - Dad

- You do that. - Mom.

Then I have to make it clear.

Chiba is nothing but the little brother of Tokyo.

Saitama is bigger and has a larger population.

We have high schools affiliated with Wasedo-Keio.

Our public high schools have the highest rate of progression to the University of Tokyo.

We even have Urawa High School!

So what?

Does Saitama have a sea?

I ask if you have a sea?

Chiba is different from your filthy Saitama.

We have famous sightseeing spots.

And Tokyo Disneyland.

Saitama has Tobu Zoo.

Chiba has Narita Airport.

Tokyo Air Traffic Control Department in Tokorozawa

Thanks to Saitama, planes can fly.

I'm getting engaged today!

Hurry up!

The governor is very angry.

He let me take care of you for the time being.

Please be mentally prepared.

Get in the car.

Hurry up.

- Rei! - Momomi!

- Get in the car - Let me go. Akutsu

Leave Momomi alone!

Shut up you Saitamese.

- Momomi! - Shut up, be quiet.

Let me go!

- Listen to the sound of the sea. - Let me go.

Listen.

Rei, come with me!

Where are we?

Kasukabe.

Ka..ka..ka..kasuka

I thought you weren't shocked anymore?

Sorry

Apparently it depends on the place.

But I will endure it.

These photos...

You wanted seafood so bad that three generations dug a tunnel?

Are Saitemese really that stupid?

Momomi, are you okay?

It’s safe here.

This is our secret base.

Who are you?

Sure enough, the Duke of Saitama.

Duke of Saitama?

The leader of the Saitama Liberation Front.

A legendary Saitamese.

I heard that you launched a coup in Tokyo.

But

Our plan was found out by someone from Chiba: The first leader of the Chiba liberation front.

Akutsu

Is that Akutsu?

The father of the Akutsu who is your butler.

He passed away.

This person was called

Emperor Chiba

He was rewarded because he prevented our coup.

After that, Emperor Chiba served as the butler for the governor's family.

His son took over from him.

To work in your home.

That's how it is.

Why are you saving us?

Although our headquarters were destroyed

The revolution is still going on

We got an important message

The governor has been selling visas...

...on the black market for a lot of money.

He used the money he earned

To buy gold, which he stored somewhere.

My father?

Is this why they don't abolish the need for visas?

The governor has a secret place to store his gold.

If we find where he hides the gold...

...we can expose the governor's corruption.

We can abolish the visa system

It’s okay.

Rei.

I have always respected my father.

He is very strict, I'm afraid of him.

But as governor,

he worked hard for the people of Tokyo.

But,

I didn’t know until you left Tokyo.

How hard life in other prefectures is.

Why do you fight for Saitama?

Look at the stars above.

The night sky is dazzling, isn't it?

Even though there are bright and dim stars

They complement each other, contributing to the whole

People shouldn't fight to be the brightest star.

We must appreciate each other

Every star?

All of them are beautiful.

Rei

I will find this gold for you.

Then

We will abolish the visa system.

Momomi?

And then.

When I have found it.

Can you kiss me again...

Momomi.

So hot.

What happened?

He suddenly has a fever.

what

this is…

"Saitamalaria"

what is that

This is a unique infectious disease of Saitama carried by mosquitoes in the spring.

I won’t be able to come back later.

Call a doctor!

Doctors from the city can't come here

Aren't there doctors in Saitama?

We have a shaman.

Shaman

If you go to Tokyo, you should be able to find a cure.

Then I will take him there.

Wait a minute

I'll take him there.

I'm more familiar With the road from here to Tokyo.

No time to hesitate.

I know

Momomi needs you.

If anything comes up, Rei is in charge.

Yes

Tokyo Government Office

I am really sorry.

Really sorry, Akutsu

I didn't expect you to fail this time.

Even though you have been bribing me

I need to let you go

How can it be like this?

But depending on the situation, I can

abolish the Chiba Visa requirement

and acknowledge Chiba as part of the Tokyo metropolis

With a high urban index

Really? Governor

What do you want me to do?

The Duke of Saitama is still alive

The embers of the liberation front still glow

Yes

Don't leave even one standing

You may kill anyone who stands in your way.

Soka

Really sorry

If you are willing to surrender your body to me

You can keep your life

Such a good boy

Akutsu stop!

It's all right

Rei can't be caught

And he could never kiss other people

Mister Asami!

We received news from the capital.

Is there news of Momomi?

Is he fine?

Yes, he is fine, he is sick at home.

I'm glad

But

The duke was assassinated

What did you say?!

And we just received this intelligence:

Chiba is attacking us.

Our underground organization in Ikebukuro

Has been defeated by the secret weapon of the Chiba liberation front

Ikebukuro

sea ​​breeze?

Is that a wave?

There!

It's the sea!

So close

Come over, let’s go to the sea.

Let's go to the sea!

damn

Run away

Saitama trap

They were caught by the Saitama trap?

The Duke is probably assassinated by the Chiba liberation front.

Why would they want to do this?

They said that as long as they win this battle

Chiba’s Visa requirement will be abolished

This is an agreement with the Tokyo Government.

The Saitama liberation front only existed because of the Duke.

Now the duke is gone we will fall apart

We have no chance to win

who's there?

Saruhashi

He is my subordinate

Saruhashi

Saruhashi!

Mr. Rei

I have a message for you

You actually found us here?

I searched everywhere for the base of the liberation front.

I finally found you here

Rei, I have to tell you something.

I am not your biological father.

Your biological father is called Saitama Duke

You are the duke's son..

The duke is my brother

When he decided to engage in the liberation of Saitama

He gave me his son to raise as my own

--Where is Ma Shili?

The duke must still be alive

I hope that you will fight together for Saitama.

Time is running out

You have your orders.

Asshole, come with

This video will self destruct in five seconds.

My biological father...

The Duke knew your identity and saved you.

Father and son have just been reunited and now he already died...

Rei

It’s only you who can lead the people of Saitama now.

Let's fight together

Revenge the Duke against Chiba

But

I don't think we can get the visa revoked.

Momomi is in Tokyo

He will do it

He will find the bribe gold for us.

Now all we can do

Is defend Saitama

Then Rei

Onwards to Chiba

Akagi Mountain?

Gunma?

Why is it there?

The day after tomorrow, the Chiba liberation front will advance into Saitama

We must do our best to fight

I hope that you can call for strength by fighting together.

What's with that attitude?

If we lose this battle

It will be impossible to abolish the Saitama Visa.

But they say

that Chiba has the support of Tokyo.

We don’t want to join forces with Urawa.

We don't want to.

Just because you are big you think you're the heart of Saitama.

So annoying

Please don't argue

Shut up!

Sorry

Ok, this opportunity

Let's decide who is the center of Saitama.

That’s good

Let everyone speak

Geographically speaking, the center of Saitama is us.

Geography means nothing.

It looks like this is true.

Shut up!

Sorry

The specialty of Saitama is Kusama

So the center is us

No, the specialty of Saitama is leeks

Grass and scallops

Is there any other special product?

Nobody? Speak up please!

We have nothing else?

No

This is stupid, I’m going back.

We only joined the Saitama liberation front

because of the vouchers you gave us

You want us to fight

But we haven't received any training

The liberation front has become

Weak and lagging behind the times

How can we even hope to win?

Let me finish!

Is it really ok to go back like this?

Do you have no love for defending Saitama?

Love for Saitama?

What is that even?

Just because you are like this

The world does not recognize Saitama for what's good.

Do you know what they say about us?

Dumb Saitama

Shite-tama

Fishy-tama

Shut-up-tama

Grassy-tama

Culchie-tama

Antique-tama

Foolish-tama

Stupid-tama

Stingy-tama

Smelly-tama

Clumsy-tama

Poverty-tama

Trouble-tama

Annoying-tama

Tedious-tama

Piss-tama

Senile-tama

- Mob... - Enough!

I can't take it any longer

you are…

Because there is nothing in Saitama to be proud of.

We were always "dumb Saitama".

We were always looked down upon.

I pretended not to care.

I distanced myself from Saitama to escape condemnation

I actually felt ashamed for Saitama

I regret it.

Although we have nothing here

Saitama is a good place to live.

Is it not?

That's right.

That's right

We can't let others look down on us anymore

We are not culchies!

we are not

Our enemies are Tokyo and Chiba

Now is not the time to fight among each other.

That's right, that's right.

Defeat Chiba, prove our love for Saitama

I promise you

You will definitely win this battle.

Rei

Rei

Chiba has been spotted on our border!

They will attack after passing the Nagareyama Bridge.

We are there to give them a head start

The enemy is at Nagareyama Bridge.

Everyone, it’s time to fight.

(Warning: you are entering Gunma Prefecture. The government cannot guarantee your safety beyond this point)

No, no

Certainly not

Momomi, you can do it for Rei

I want to go home

what is that

There is something down there

Rei!!!!!

Don't eat me

Save me

Father...

Tomorrow will be the liberation day of the people of Chiba.

I will fight to the death

Mr. Akutsu!

Why

Nagareyama

How many people has the enemy?

90.000

My side?

Seventy thousand

Then we are losing!

it will be ok

- Unveil our weapon. - Yes.

Bring it out!

It is Yoshiki

From the world famous X-Japan band

Is this birthplace duel?

Then he can have it

lift it up

Who is that

Most prolific singer in Japan

Toshihiko Takamizawa of ALFEE

not bad

Next card

next

Maki Yoko from Inzai

Chiba's Goddess Mirei Kiritani

A seasoned actress and an upcoming popular actress

Wonderful match

not bad

next

(Urawa) Takashi Sorimachi

(Tokorozawa) Takenouchi Yutaka

That combination of two superstars

We can't hope to match that

Take the next card out

Next

Yuko Ogura (actress, singer)

So weak

Next

Yoshio Kojima (comedian)

This is even worse

It’s over.

Have we nothing better?

Next

Etsuko Ichihara (actor, voice actor)

"I am Mita, Your Housekeeper"

Etsuko Ichihara

Good one

What are they doing?

Just let them be

I brought your favorite things

Kiyoken dumplings from Yokohama.

Governor Yokohama, you spoil me

I didn't expect you to help me remove the duke.

I think you will be happy.

The enemies are buried under the Red Brick Warehouse.

You are such a terrible man.

But governor,

If Chiba wins,

Are you really going to abolish the visa?

I am just using Akutsu.

I knew it!

Take this opportunity

You can lure all the dangerous people who threaten Tokyo

Bring them together in one spot to annihilate them

It’s all right to grab victory.

This is a golden mascot for the 60th anniversary of Kiyoken

Thank you

You made me really happy

With the visa, I would be happiest

Because if the Saitama culchies came to Shonan...

I will be very upset

Governor! The camps are in motion.

Annihilate them immediately.

It’s time.

Funassyi!

listen

We have nothing to fear

We have the sea

Are you saying that there is nothing in Saitama?

wrong

We have dignity

Are you ready?

Wash them like a wave

Attack

The war between the two sides began

Their battle of dignity was fierce

Many people have fallen

Wait a minute, did they just say Funassyi?

That is not even the official mascot of Funabashi City.

They also mentioned Fukkachan, with the onions.

I don't care who wins and loses.

Please end soon

At this time

Sorry, I have to be late. Really...

Someone appeared in front of the governor

who is it

Momomi

I found it

Your hidden stash of bribery gold

Don't eat me.

Save me

It's five o'clock now

Thank you for your hard work today.

- Good work. - See you tomorrow.

- It’s so cold. - Yeah.

Time to go home

You can't go back, the work is not over yet.

-work? - It’s already five o’clock.

Go home, go home

Wait a minute, what is going on?

Who would think the legendary governor’s son would pay us a visit?

Are the gold nuggets here?

That's right

You can't let other people know

For ages Tokyo governors bribed the Governor of Gunma.

Does the media also claim that Gunma is a dangerous place?

That's right

Just behind the wall

excuse me

Please open the door

The gold is hidden in the caves of the Mount Akagi.

Father, do you admit your crime?

So what

Even if you tell the world, no-one would listen

Governor

We are under attack by the alliance between Saitama and Chiba.

What did you say?

Kameari

Onwards!

go ahead!

what's going on

I anticipated this

If I would face you alone

You would definitely use your power to silence me

It was you...

If Saitama and Chiba joined forces in Tokyo

That will receive a lot of media attention

And I will be there to make the truth public.

The governor of Tokyo uses the visa system to earn high profits.

Momomi

You will go against me?

Even though you are my father

I will not sit back and watch this corruption.

I have always enjoyed the grandeur of the city.

I thought of Tokyo as the center and apex of Japan.

But all this is just fake.

Onwards!

Go to the governor's tower

Line up

Use the water cannon

Let's go

Fire!

Are you okay.

Rei

Rei

Rei

Do it for Saitama!

Rei

you guys…

Rei

Release the water

Asami, let’s go first

Come up

Come up

Now I look at the Saitama and Chiba folk who protect their home

I admire them a little.

So I decided to join them.

Fighting Tokyo's oppression

Momomi, stop!

please

do not go

do not go

I beg you

Father...

Spending all that time pulling fishnets

It seems that Chiba’s waist and legs are really strong

What are you talking about?

Your endless tunneling for the sea gave you admirable determination

It's true

Push!

Attack

Asami!

Akutsu

Hey, leave them to me, go ahead.

What are you waiting for?

I'm Sorry

Momomi, please.

I beg you

I

I always looked up to you, father

a person who is extremely powerful at all times

Let me go, let me go.

Momomi

Momomi

I'm sorry

Father

Momomi's heart must be breaking

to reveal his father's crimes

- It's just an urban legend... - Shut up.

Do you only care about your own happiness?

Really

Selfishness like that causes wars

Wasn't Chiba secretly bribing Tokyo?

Shouldn’t this be condemned?

Don't say bad things about Chiba

They are Saitama's allies!

Dear...

My love...

What the hell is happening...

Um, the climax is coming

You deceived me

But thanks to that man, I woke up.

Mr. Akutsu!

He's still alive?

You wanted to take my life

The assassin came from Tokyo, an man from Kanagawa Prefecture.

this is…

The mascot of Kiyoken

Tokyo and Kanagawa must be colluding

I immediately understood

You never wanted to abolish Chiba's visa

Your purpose was to arrest and destroy all of us.

So I joined with the Duke

And rode to the Saitama liberation front

There we reached a truce

Then Momomi came back from Gunma

The gold is in Gunma Prefecture

Gunma prefecture?

I have the evidence, I'm going to see my father.

You will die

I am prepared to face that risk

I too agree with Momomi.

If we release our Saitamese prisoners who we indentured on our beeches

we would enough combat power

Gunma said they would convince Tochigi and Ibaraki

to join us for support

But do you have a plan?

Of course, I will explain my battle plan.

Finally, it was your son who took you down

Rei

Thank you, Momomi

It's because of you we have won the battle

No need to thank me

Because of you I have realized what's most important.

So please, kiss me

A collared dove?

Wonderful, Rei

Like Romeo and Juliet

Great, Momomi

I told you guys, this is a boy love story

Akutsu is also a good young man.

Yeah, he is the pride of Chiba.

It’s OK.

We're late, let's go.

Haruto?

what happened to you

Haruka

This is how Momomi's father fell

People celebrated for days

The visa for Saitama and Chiba was finally abolished

Is this...

Have you been listening to this all the time?

Haruka

I was wrong

I don't want to live in Tokyo.

I want to dedicate my life to Saitama.

Let's build a house there

In Kasukabe city

Kasukabe?

Bravo Haruto!

She marries a good person

Ka...Ka...Kasukabe?

Haruka, are you okay?

You did great Haruka!

what happened

Are you OK

While the antagonist of the story was arrested

So were the 2 rebel leaders for instigating a riot.

Thank you, Akutsu

The battle is not over yet

Hey Chiba

How much peanuts will fit in my ear?

You want to find out eh?

Even though we were fighting side by side

The gap between them has not been eliminated.

We will remain the best of rivals

Rei

But behind this curtain of war

Another plan is about to start

The corruption has been made public, but the abolition of visa

is just the beginning of our plan

I leave this in your hands

You are

Savior

this is...

Today, Saitama is widely known as a shopping paradise.

Although people think that there is nothing in Saitama Prefecture.

In fact, people just don't know about us

But people are beginning to realize Everything here just meets your needs.

This livable city model

Is now used all over the country.

(The quality of Saitama covers all of Japan)

Several stores originating from Saitama

Are now found throughout the country

(Crisp King Ice)

Among them are convenience store companies that started in Saitama.

Family Mart

Now has 17,000 stores across the country.

(The Ikebukuro is completely Saitamese)

In recent years, Ikebukuro, formerly known as the "Saitamese Colony"

Great changes have also taken place

In the "the most desirable place to live in the country"

Ikebukuro was placed third

SUUMO's most desirable place to live in the country 2014 (Kanto version)

From here

Because of the direct rail to Saitama

SUUMO's most desirable place to live in the country 2018 (Kanto version)

Puhe and Omiya also successfully entered the list

There is also a railway connecting Tokyo and Kanagawa Saitama.

Rapid development

Day after day, not only the people from Saitama walk into Tokyo

The feel of Saitama has become common in Tokyo and Kanagawa.

Now wherever Japanese citizens go

They make contact with Saitama

Both north, south and west are surrounded by Saitama

(Saitama gesture popularized by celebrities)

However, people haven't linked this to

the activities of the Saitama liberation front

They live a normal life

And continue to implement this plan

They walk among you

This is the revolutionary story that became the legend of Saitama.

And the story is still going on

Ok, OK.

Don't be so depressed.

But

I thought we could finally live in Tokyo.

He actually said that he would build a house in Kasukabe

Kasukabe is a good place.

Crayon Shinchan lives there

I don't like him anymore.

And there is only one celebrity there.

Anyway, the engagement ceremony has ended smoothly.

Let's have a good night's sleep when we get home

We live in Saitama

Right in front, and in the back,

Everywhere is Saitama

Please don't sing

Stupid urban legend

It made my life a mess

North, South

All is Saitama

You

We have achieved a real victory in Saitama

But

We can't just be satisfied with today's achievements

Can't let the past humiliation reappear

We need to expand our efforts,

Extend Saitama's influence

Hereby we announce the next plan
