Right now, there are talks about holding a Japan-China joint training camp.

Notice for Japan-China Joint Training Camp You're one of the potential gymnasts to participate in it.

The objective is to sharpen each other's techniques with our top gymnasts.

China's super-ace, Liu Longxiang will be there, too.

I'm sure it'll be helpful for you right now.

When does it start?!

It's from July 1st to the 6th.

July...

You busy then?

It's Rei's birthday...

I see.

A lost cicada,

a sad straw hat,

and the sound of...

If you're not here for my birthday, then we're not family...

"The Gymnastics Samurai"

Come to think of it, Leochi isn't back yet?

No, why?

Being a one-man army's tiring me out.

I'm sure he'll be back soon.

He came to us unexpectedly...

It wouldn't be strange for him to leave us like this.

But he probably doesn't have anywhere to go, and he's a fugitive ninja.

We accept those who come

and do not chase those who leave.

And we do not pry at all.

See you tomorrow, Ayu!

Laters!

Rei, be careful.

I will!

Ms. Mari, that was harsh.

It'll be even sadder for her if we give her false hope

and then he doesn't come back.

Episode 6 Samurai Father and Daughter

I'm home!

Welcome back.

He's still not back?

I wonder what he's doing.

Police 24-Hrs Ikebukuro Edition

The young people who cause unrest

wandering the streets of Ikebukuro with nowhere to go.

Street gangs! Gal circles! Closing in on Ikebukuro nights! What is going on with them right now?

It's crazy out there. Street gangs and gal circles...

Dad, you should be careful when you have practice late.

Yeah.

Actually, I wanted to talk to you about that.

What?! About street gangs, or gal circles?!

Neither. About practice.

Whew. I thought you'd already gotten involved with them.

Today, Amakusa asked me if I wanted to participate in a training camp.

Training camp?

Yeah.

A joint training camp between China and Japan.

Top gymnasts from China will be coming.

That's amazing!

Yeah.

But...

There's one problem.

Hm?

The training camp is from July 1st to the 6th.

Huh?

Of course, I haven't forgotten about your birthday!

But Chinese gymnasts are said to be the best in the world.

It's a valuable opportunity to watch them practice up close.

If possible, I...

...think I want to participate.

I guess it can't be helped.

It's fine. You can't skip such an important training camp.

I'll definitely celebrate your birthday!

I'm really sorry!

It's fine.

You should just smile.

You should jus--

Aragaki, Aragaki!

I saw online that our gymnasts are doing a joint training camp with China!

It sounds pretty amazing!

I hope the Samurai can participate!

China Samura--

H... Huh?

Sh-Should I do this?

Oh! Sorry...

Mom, Dad won't be around for my birthday this year.

I don't know if Leo's coming back, either.

But it's a really important time for Dad.

I need to bear it, huh?

"Aragaki Family Grave"

I wish I could be like you…

Bigbird, let's play movie pretend!

Me?

Just kidding.

Domestic Beef Kalbi (4 servings)

Here I go!

Rei, are you feeling sick?

Huh? No, I'm totally fine.

Maybe you should drink some milk--

I don't need any right now.

I see. Don't push yourself.

I won't. Same to you, Dad.

Right...

The training camp this time will be the first time gymnasts from Japan and China

will practice together.

How do the Chinese gymnasts, called the best in the world, practice?

And how do they feel as they face gymnastics?

I hope you will take that all in.

Moreover, please think individually about how we can win agai--

I-I'm sorry...!

Oh, hello?

You're just going to answer normally?

It's me, Rei. Can you talk now?

U-Um, uh, what is it?

I was just wondering what time you'd be home tonight.

I'll be late, so I'll eat dinner with Amakusa.

Oh, really?

I forgot to tell you... I'm very sorry about this.

I'm glad you told me before I bought ingredients.

I'll eat by myself then.

Sorry.

It's fine. Do your best, Dad.

Yeah, I will.

Bye-bye.

I'm very sorry...

I'll turn off my phone...

Whatever. If no one's going to be home, then I'll just take it easy today.

Beat the ghosts!

I'm not going to clean up today.

I'll watch one of Mom's movies.

Ow...!

Jeez!

Yum!

No good!

Hm? Bigbird?

Bigbird?!

The number you have dialed is currently unavailable.

Please hang up and try again.

♪ Why don't we fall in love? (wow wow wow wow) ♪

Kamematsu Animal Hospital

You have to eat a little.

Rei.

What's with that bird?

I got him from a friend of mine from South America.

This bird's supposed to bring good luck.

South America...?

He's got a big beak...

You can name him whatever you want.

Bigbird...

You should just smile.

That's a large bird you've got there.

How's Bigbird?

Looks like acute stress disorder.

You can't feed bird meat to a bird.

We'll keep him here and see what happens.

Please fix him!

It was my fault...

I'm home!

Rei?

She's at the bar?

Joe! I have returned, indubitably!

What have you been doing this whole time?

Huh? I wrote that I was going to go train, indeed.

Rachel! I'm home!

She's not here.

Did she go out with BB?

Missed Call Rei

Rei...

Joe, where did Rachel and BB go?

Hello?

Who's this?

It's me, Jotaro.

Where's Rei? It's so loud, I didn't hear the phone when she called.

She wasn't home when I got back. Neither was BB.

Did she say anything to you?

No. If she's not home or at the bar at this time of night,

then maybe something happened.

Anyway, I'll go look for her.

What happened? You don't know where Rachel is?

Oh, I'll go, too, indeed!

Leo, you go look near the supermarket.

Roger!

Sorry to cause you trouble.

I'm counting on you.

Yeah, yeah, "Operation 'Bukuroad."

KK, thanks!

Rei!

Rachel, where are you?

Leo's here for you!

Ms. Mari, found her.

Ayu? "Operation 'Bukuroad" complete.

Rei.

Grandma.

You delinquent girl.

I'm sorry... I didn't want to be at home...

Up until now, there were times when Dad had competitions and wasn't home,

but just having BB around made it fine...

Ever since Leo came, even when Dad wasn't around,

he'd always play with me and make things fun...

And he'd listen when I needed someone to talk to.

But then Leo left,

and things that had been fine suddenly weren't fine...

I said things I regretted and got mad,

and even did something terrible to BB...

I wanted to be like Mom,

but I'm just getting further and further away from her...

I don't know what to do anymore...

Is that what it was?

You've got a hard road ahead if you want to be like her.

In the first place, Tomoyo is a little different from what you think.

Huh?

It's true that normally, she was very refined,

but when she was sloppy, she was really sloppy.

And when she was mad, she'd yell really loud,

and there were times when just yelling wasn't enough.

Mom was like that?

Everyone needs to relax and vent sometimes, or it's too draining.

Especially with your dad.

If you don't make it obvious, he won't understand anything.

He's beyond the level of just clueless.

But--

She never acted like that in front of you?

No. She was always kind, always smiling, and always supporting Dad...

She wanted to always show her best side in front of her dear daughter.

What was your mom's job?

Oh! A famous actress!

Which means, you always got to see her act from the best seat in the house.

That's why there's no reason for you grin and bear it.

You should say whatever you want to say.

Rei!

Oh, good...

Rei, I was so worried!

I was so, so worried!

You can't do this... wandering...

Wandering is bad... dangerous...

It's really dangerous...!

Sorry, I know I promised to take you to the park...

It's okay. Do your best at practice!

The competition's coming up, so I won't be able to play with you for a while.

I'm watching a bunch of movies, so I'm fine!

Sorry, Rei.

It's fine!

Rei, I'm sorry.

I know.

I'm really sorry!

Don't worry about it.

Happy birthday! Here's your present for this year!

Thanks!

Don't go too far on it.

I...

I...

...can't actually ride a bike!

Huh?!

I was really... really happy that you bought me a bike...

But, it was right before a competition,

so I couldn't ask you to teach me how to ride it...!

Rei!

I'm...! I-I'm sorry!

I'm so sorry! Rei, I'm sorry!

Sorry... Sorry... Sorry!

All you do is cause problems for your wife and your daughter.

How did I give birth to something like that?

Sorry... Sorry...!

I'm glad! I'm glad, indeed!

Wha--?!

Hm?

Leo?!

Rachel, where did you go?

I was worried about you, indeed!

That's my line!

Huh?!

R-Rachel...?

Just going off like that!

Where have you been this whole time?

T-Training--

Write how long you'll be gone!

I thought I would never see you again!

You stupid ninja!

N-Ninja Technique: Dogeza!

Kamematsu Animal Hospital

Good mornin'!

Bigbird!

You don't have to worry anymore.

I'm sorry!

You should just smile.

Don't rush. You can just go slowly.

Okay.

Where there's a will, there's a way, Rachel!

I'll hold on, so just go slowly. Slowly.

You're doing great! Rachel! Good job, indeed!

Oh?

Hey, wait up!

Wait, don't go so fast...!

Oh?

Huh?

Dad! I'm doing it!

It was easy!

She has an amazing sense of balance, indeed...

That's my daughter for you...

BB, come here!

Me?

Hang on!

BB...!

We're flying!

Rachel looks like she'll be fine now.

You know what?

I definitely don't want you to use me as an excuse to give up gymnastics.

Go work hard at the training camp!

I'll do my best.

Yeah, do your best, Samurai!
