She felt as if she was being
bounded by chains and rope.

He...

That's wrong.

You don't seem to understand
this ballad at all.

- Do you have a liebe*?
- It would've been nice if I had one.

*lover in German

Listen here.

The assault of the pure maiden
by the devil disguised as a young man

is a sad and yet alluring depiction,
you see.

It's not "he stole her lips with his".

You should translate it as
"he stole a kiss from her".

While covered in tears...

... the maiden thought:
"Ah, I can't let this happen"

but she couldn't fight back.

Seeing her like that,
the devil got even more aroused.

He then forcibly pushed her onto
the bed and teared off her blouse.

Poor her, she didn't even try to hide
her beautiful pure white breasts.

[Recites in German.]

I was in love.

I was thinking of her, the girl
who's name I didn't even know,

just as if I was admiring
a beautiful flower from afar.

Shima-kun.

Shima-kun.

Yes.

Are you hungry or something?

Fight on!

Quiet!

Directed by Yoji Yamada

Those who remain in the dorm over the
weekend must secure their own meals.

That's all.

- Thanks for the meal.
- Sure.

That's how you end up
with only 3 potatoes.

- He's become so thin.
- Poor thing.

If you could at least lay an egg.

Amen.

Thanks for the food.

Sheesh... What's there to be grateful
about this meal?

On the contrary, you should be angry.

The question is whether the food is tastier
when you're angry or when you're grateful.

Hey guys, if I make it big,
I'll feed you all the potatoes you want.

Danke*.

*thanks in German

Goethe said:
"Hope is the bread of the hungry."

Message from the Health Committee.

According to information
from the Municipal Hospital

about the ringworm infection,

there's a contagion risk if you put
your buttocks onto the bath's edges,

so be careful.

When the morning mist
filled daybreak...

That day, I met her again.

Uh? A freshman?

Damn it.

I'll tie it for you.

Give it here.

Thank you very much.

You have 10 minutes.

Because the denominator is common,
it's 3 multiplied with 2, right Teacher?

Yeah, that's right.

That's 6.
The numerator is 2 multiplied with 2... 4.

"Only one familiar with yearning
knows what I suffer."- W. Goethe

This is so good.

Hey, doesn't it sort of feels like
you're turning into

a caterpillar when you're filling
your stomach with cabbage?

There was something like that
in one of Kafka's novels.

One morning when he woke up,

he found himself turned
into a disgusting bug.

Ah, I know that one.

- Or was it a scorpion?
- Wasn't it a centipede?

That's a scary story.

Hey Kosuke, are you going to eat?

Yeah.

Hey Onkel, we'll eat it all up
if you don't hurry.

Okay.

Oh, there they go again.

Ah, they're heading this way.

I can't take another storm in.

Pipe down!

Oh?

It's the guys from the West Dorm.

Fight on!

Yo-oi, yo-oi, dekansho!

It hurts, stop it!

Yoi, yoi!

I'm going to sleep
for the rest of the semester.

Yo-oi, yo-oi, dekansho!

Dekansho, dekansho,
I'm going to dance until I die.

Yoi, yoi!

And if I die,
the children are going to dance.

Yo-oi, yo-oi, dekansho!

When the morning mist filled daybreak

I want to take your picture.

Opens its golden door
- I'm scared!
- Come on, smile.

Opens its golden door
- Hurry up and take it.
- Smile, say "cheese". Smile.

Opens its golden door

Scott, are they beggars?

The old castle glows with morning sunlight...

The old castle glows with morning sunlight...
No, high school boys.

The old castle glows with morning sunlight...

Hey! Cut your hair!

No! This hairstyle is our tradition!

- Yes!
- Yes!

What a dirty tradition!

That year, there was
a terrible inflation.

Prices for daily necessities
increased by 2-3 times in a single year.

[White Rice smuggled in a locomotive]

The food situation was worsening.

[Drastic price raise for new rice]

Both pupils and teachers,
they were all starving.

[Fish prices increased nine times]
Both pupils and teachers,
they were all starving.

[Alcohol and tobacco prices rise]

[A direct hit on common people's lives]
The people's lives are being driven
to the verge of ruin!

[The rise of the Inflation doesn't stop]
[The national economy in a catastrophic state]
The people's lives are being driven
to the verge of ruin!

[The rise of the Inflation doesn't stop]
[The national economy in a catastrophic state]
- That's right!
- Yeah!

[The rise of the Inflation doesn't stop]
[The national economy in a catastrophic state]
Do you think our lives, the students' lives
will be an exception?

- I agree!
- I agree!

These lives of ours are furthermore
being shaken from their roots.

For the rise of the
tuition fee by 3 times,

with the rage from within our hearts...

Fight on!

... and our burning pathos,...

Fight on!

... we must stand up and fight!

Seneca said: "The good of
the people is the greatest law."

Well said!

Sa-chan was a prostitute
in the red light district

of the ancient Dogo Hot Spring.

She fell in love with a patron
who named himself

as a Matsuyama
High School student.

They even made a promise
to elope together.

But on the promised day,
he didn't show up.

Shall we go?

Young man, are you
a Matsuyama HS student?

Yeah.

Please, help me.

[Movie advertisement for
Here's to the Young Lady (1949)]

Noboru, the film's ending.

Noboru, check inside.

Stop right there!

What do you want?

Hey!

And thus, we ended up
taking Sa-chan into our room.

That looks delicious.

[Sign: "Assembly room"]

A runaway prostitute
is a serious matter.

What does the East Dorm intend to do
with that mädchen*?

*girl in German
Let me see...

We'll have to shelter her until
we find that fake student called Omure.

But sheltering a mädchen is a problem.
That's against the rules.

If respecting the rules is everything,
what's the use of having liberal autonomy?

You just don't get it.

To protect our liberal
autonomy heritage

we can't just break the rules without
an explanation for the school.

But last year, a nurse stayed here
when Ken Yama committed suicide.

What was that?

That was an emergency.

If Ken Yama's suicide was an emergency,
then this is an extreme emergency.

Running from the red light district
means her life's at risk.

Do you know what will happen
to that mädchen if we chase her out now?

I'm beaten.

The Dorm Council is too conservative.

What happened?

"I can't study here, so I'm going
to stay at a friend's." he says.

But doing that might hurt her feelings.

You're saying that because you're good
at studying, but I'm not like you guys.

What a dull guy he is.

Why did he even bother coming here?

- Is she sleeping?
- Yes.

[Written on the wall:
"Many are impotent in time of need!!"]

Yeah, she's sleeping well.

She must be exhausted.

She was walking all day long
without eating, after all.

Yeah.

She's not wearing anything under.

Shall we run up to the castle?

- Yes.
- Yes.

Aah, On a dreamy spring
somewhere in the Southern Sea

Gathered for a joyful banquet...

Psychology is basically

the study of the unknown.

And that's why you gentlemen study
the unknown, in order to understand it.

You should memorize that.

So, the mind, you see...

... can't be measured
in either volume or weight.

The mind... instead...

When you're depressed...

When you're happy...

Oh my! What's this?

Was there such a student in this class?

You better pay your tuition fee.

As long as you pay,
there's a free desk for you right there...

Those who listen for the monkeys:

What of this child in the autumn wind?

Why did this happen?
Were you hated by your father?

Were you neglected by your mother?

Your father did not hate you.

Your mother did not neglect you.

This simply is from heaven,

and you can only grieve over your fate.

And you can only grieve over your fate!

Mornin'.

Uh?

[Sign: "Exclusive for Sakiko-san"]

Good morning.

[Singing a Psalm]

You're good at singing.

I see you've cleaned the room.
It's looking all clean now.

You must be bored
since you can't go outside, right?

Oh, that's right...

Say, have you read this before?

It's "Botchan" written
by Natsume Soseki.

It's an interesting novel set
in Matsuyama.

I can't really read characters.

I'm sorry.

Excuse me...

As I've told you this morning...

Could you please wear something over
when you go out on the corridor?

I forgot.

Well, I need to go to class.

Arles-san.

Yes.

About Omure-san...

Uh...

Have you heard anything about him yet?

Umm...
It seems that he went back to his hometown.

Because he got sick.

Does that mean he's in Uwajima?

Uh-huh. We're currently trying
to get in contact with him.

Thank you.

So, don't worry and stay here with us.

In any case, this dorm,
except for the dirty part,

it's the safest place for you.

Oh Lord, I've told a lie.

It's not like he's an incapable child.

It's more like he lacks caution
or composure, right Teacher?

Yes.

Listen here, if you don't enter
Matsuyama Middle School

you'll have to go to Osaka
and become an apprentice.

That'll bring shame upon our family.

Even your dad, uncle Shinji
and Yukio-san,

they all went to Matsuyama MS, HS
and Kyoto University.

If you don't get in,
I won't be able to bear that.

- Fusako-chan.
- Yes?

- Bring the sweets box here.
- Yes.

Oh, that's right...

Are the rumors about abolishing
the senior high school true?

Yes.

With a 6-3-3 system,

the occupying forces are trying to impose the
American Educational System upon Japan.

However, we're currently opposing it.

That's a very serious matter.

Teacher, I'm done.

Right.

This is a relative's daughter.
A repatriate from Manchuria.

She's having a hard time because
her father is in Siberia,

so I have her do some work sometimes.

I am Fusako Nakahara.

I am Kosuke Shima.

He's a student at the Matsuyama HS
that you admire.

Oh right, you should
clean the entry hall.

Tonight we're having guests
for the haiku reading.

Yes.

"I'll do anything to at least graduate
from the Girls' School" she says.

So she's attending the Prefectural Girls'
School while also working.

And unlike this child, she's always first
at studying and everything else.

It looks like it's not good
to spoil children.

The hill on which
I came together with you

The hill from which
you can see the harbor

Sa-chan.

Come upstairs for a moment.

I wonder what for?

We all put some money together
and bought you a gift.

What could it be?

Can I open it?

- Yes.
- Yeah.

Wow...

For me?

You should take off this kimono which
is the symbol of your abominable past

- and wear this to become a "New Woman".
- Thank you.

The people's fundamental human rights
are guaranteed by the Constitution.

- Well said.
- That's right.

Then, I'll try them on right now.

Fire.

I'm done.

You look so pretty.

Do I look like a "New Woman" now?

- Yes, you do.
- You do.

Thank you very much.

Gan-san, could you help me
button this up?

Ah... Yes.

- Want to switch?
- No.

- What's wrong?
- Everything is fine.

I just caught a cold.

Gan-san, Holtan-san and the others
from upstairs bought me these clothes.

Really?
They're pretty.

They're such good people.

They also gave me this.

"Wear them" they said.

I'm glad for you.

Today, we have rice gruel again.

Hot...

You're enduring it well.

What do you mean?

Everyone shares their food with me.

So you must be hungry, right?

I'm fine.

Come now, eat while it's warm.

Thank you for everything, Arles-san.

Not at all.

I'd like to express my gratitude...

But I don't have any money.

I... wouldn't mind sleeping with you.

As long as you won't mind.

How...

How can you think
of such an absurd thing?

You already promised yourself
to someone, right?

That's not what I wanted to say.

You should...

You should value your life more.

I'm sorry.

I'll never say that again.

Don't be angry.

Okay?

You don't have to apologize.

It's not your fault.

You did nothing wrong.

And days passed without any trace
of Sa-chan's lover.

- Yamaguchi High School is here!
- Yamaguchi HS is here!...

Fight on!

Daybreak's fragrance spreads
on the mountain

Doves fly up in the sky

The waves of the turbid
Kuroshio Current are surging back...

The boiling blood that fills the hearts
of hot-blooded young men

Hardens the crimson blazing flags...

1-3

Hey, what are you doing?

They're not allowed to do that.

2-3

Look up to the shining stars
and praise the glory of truth!

If you look around...

Sa-chan heard the dire news in the night
of the Inter-High Competition.

You see, this Omure man got arrested
by the police for fraud.

That's someone else, mine went
to his hometown to treat his illness.

I... have lied to you.

We knew from the start
that he was a fake student.

Sa-chan, pull yourself together.

That man, you see,
he seems to have done bad deeds

here and there by posing as
a Matsuyama HS student.

So I was deceived again?

I'm so stupid, aren't I?

*One... Two... Three!
Eins... Zwei... Drei!*

Aah, On a dreamy spring
somewhere in the Southern Sea

Gathered for a joyful banquet

Tonight, hot-blooded young men
Dance around in delight

Those exhausted sleeping
throughout the night...

To be honest,
I have another bitter news.

Because that man got arrested,
the fact that you're here got exposed.

So you should leave this place tonight.

Tonight?

Yeah. I went this evening to probe
the red light district.

And it was a huge commotion.

Sa-chan, this is unfortunate,
but you should get ready right away.

Here, I fixed your button.

I'm going to wash my face.

Don't worry about anything.

We'll protect you.

Thank you.

How will you get her out?

Don't worry, I got the Dorm Council's
collaboration.

I shouldn't have lied to her.

That means she was betrayed twofold.

You're still fixed on that?

- But you know...
- Just let it go.

In any case, we'll try to heat up tonight's
fire storm as much as possible

and during that time...

What is it?

Sa-chan!

Sa-chan, are you all right?

Sa-chan, what's wrong?

- Are you okay?
- Are you all right?

Are you okay?

Thank heavens,
I'm glad I made it in time.

Please, let me die!

The debt would be erased
if I were to die.

Mister, danke, danke.

My aunt's home is nearby.

Her husband works at the tribunal
so it's safe there.

She'll spend the night there
and take the train tomorrow morning.

How is it?

It's looking good.

Sa-chan,

since Arles is a Christian
he won't try anything funny.

So don't worry,
he'll escort you safely.

Arles, do you have money?

The Dorm Council gave me some.

Take these too.

Chopinski.

Yeah.

Hey, the three-wheeler from
the charcoal shop is ready outside.

Taro, let's go.

Come now, let's go.

Sa-chan, let's go.

Excuse me...

I know I can't bid farewell
to the others...

I get it, I'll tell them everything.

This week, which I spent here,
was the happiest time in my life.

Tell them that.

Uh-huh.

Come now, let's go.

I love you man.

Stop it.

Onkel...

There, there!

As expected, some guys from the Kawashima
gang turned up the next morning.

- Out of the way!
- Move!

Hey, who are you?

Wait, stop right there!

Who the heck are you?

Hey, hand over the girl!

There's no such thing here.
Be gone!

Where is she, you bastard?

Gan, leave them to me!

I'm Matsuyama HS Judo Club's
Shingo Kusunoki!

- How dare you?
- Bring it on!

Die!

Everybody come out!

Assemble at the entrance!

Come out!

Hurry up already!

Everybody come out!

Assemble at the entrance!

Pipe down!

The chief of the police station
rushed in astonished.

The chief was the uncle of
the East Dorm's prodigy, Inoue.

At any rate, could you at least let us do
an on-the-site inspection?

I mean, it is a
shooting incident after all.

We said that we can't let you do that.

The dorm's heritage
since its foundation is that

our autonomy can't be desecrated
by any authority.

- That's right!
- Well said!

Isn't there something you can do
about this, Mr. Principal?

However, hiding a prostitute
in a place of learning is an issue.

- She's a human being before a prostitute.
- That's right.

The issue here is the sense of discrimination
noticed in your remark just now.

- I agree!
- That's right!

At any rate, we must at least
prevent a tragic bloodshed.

Uncle, I think it's best
for you to back down here.

Mitsuo, don't call me uncle
in this situation, you fool.

- Fight on!
- Fight on!

The chief arrested three guys
of the Kawashima gang.

Their boss was enraged.
He came storming in.

Hey! Show yourselves, you brats!

To hell with Matsuyama HS!

You guys are kept here
on the people's taxes.

Don't act all mighty when
you haven't even grown pubic hair yet!

I'll take you all down, one-on-one.

It's easy as pie for me
to kill 10-20 of you!

Boss, please come in.

Who the heck are you?

Don't "please come in" me
in this dirty pigsty.

You shithead!

Sa-chan, hanged herself.

She said her debt would
be crossed off if she died.

Sa-chan, why did you have to die?

This has nothing to do with me,
it's not my fault.

Of course it's your fault!

That's right!

Please pray for her.

I hope she turns into a ghost
to haunt you. Prepare yourself.

Don't say such an absurd thing
before Buddha. Don't be ridiculous...

Tell him something, tell him.

It's your fault, you shithead!

That went well.

Gan, your acting was amazing.

Satake, you can stop now.

It's so hot...

Hyodo, you look so pretty.

Let me grope you a little.

Just once.

Just once!

Come on!

Sa-chan's hometown

was deep in the mountains on the prefectural
border between Ehime and Kochi.

Hey!

Sa-chan, flowers from the East Dorm.

Thank you!

Sa-chan, hang in there!

Arles, take care of her.

Sa-chan!

- Fight on!
- Thank you!

Hang in there!

Farewell!

Thank you!

Farewell!

Fight on!

When the morning mist filled daybreak

Opens its golden door...

Big sis, he's back.

Mom, big brother is back.

Ah, he's back?

Dear, get up!
Kosuke is back.

Mother, mother,
big brother brought a friend.

A friend? That's unexpected,
I have to clean things up.

Oh my... Welcome.

Come now, don't hesitate,
please come in.

I'm sorry to trouble you.

Dad, this is Takai-kun,
he's a roommate.

Hi. Welcome.

Sorry for the sudden intrusion.

Thank you for taking care of Kosuke.

You must be hot.

Why don't you take off your clothes
and take a bath?

Later.
Hey Arles, come with me.

If you'll excuse me.

You could have
at least sent a postcard.

I'm so thirsty.

It's so hot.

You smell of sweat, change quickly.

What's with this hat?

Look at this sandal!

It stinks!

- Granny, come in.
- Uh?

- Here you go.
- One time...

... there was a frog's eyeball
in the soup.

- What?
- What?!

- Kosuke-kun ate it.
- Yeah.

Uh?

You ate it?

It was delicious.

Brother, help!

They sure are loud.

Arles-san, how many siblings
do you have?

I used to have 3 younger ones.

Uh?

I already told you.

Arles's family was killed by
the atomic bomb in Hiroshima.

Ah... That's right.

You're enduring it well.
I'm sorry for asking you that.

That's okay.

For how long are you going
to stay up? Go to sleep.

- You fool!
- You pig!

You piglet!

Good night.

Did you drain the water
out of the bath?

Lately, it's become longer...

... your prayer before bed.

Really?

The guys were gossiping.

"Maybe Arles fell in liebe
with Sa-chan", they were saying.

You were there when we talked about
escorting Sa-chan home, right?

Yeah.

After the train we took the bus,
and got off at the last stop.

Then we walked along the river for
about an hour deep into the mountains.

"That's my house" she said,
and when I looked up

I saw several tiny houses
on a tall, steep mountain.

She must have been very happy
to see her family after so long.

After saying "Farewell"

she started running up the hill path while
her worn sandals made click-clack sounds.

Thank you.

Watching her retreating figure
made me think...

Mom!

How much have I done
for the sake of her happiness?

Well, I didn't do anything.

I only sympathized with her a little.

That may be right,

but you sold your precious dictionary
for her and even shared your food with her.

I'm ashamed that I flattered myself
only just for that much.

It would be absurd
to say that I love her.

I don't have the right to say that.

No right whatsoever.

What exactly is the right to love?

An unreciprocated love
can only be classified as nonsense?

Brother!

If that's the case, what could I possibly do
for Fusako Nakahara's sake?

And so, the summer vacation ended
with me unable to concentrate on studying.

[Movie advertisement for
The Blue Mountains (1949)]

Oh, it's so crowded.

Hi, Arles.

I see you got a suntan.

Oh...

Oh, so you're back?

Have you watched it?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Ah, it's so hot...

It's so hot.

The cherry tree covered
blue mountain range

Lifts our dreams
to end of the sky even today

This is so delicious.

Yeah, it's delicious.

What are you doing?

Onkel, it's finished.

Oh, you finished it? Danke.

The summer vacation is over now.

"Barber Zitterlein, A Tragedy" huh?

Did you have any troubles?

Sort of.

I tried to avoid long lines
since amateurs are going to play it...

Well, just read it first.

- What's that?
- You moron!

It's our dorm's play
for the drama contest.

Ah, that's right...

- Are you an idiot?
- Sorry.

Gan!

Yeah!

Zitterlein's role is yours!

Okay!

Eins, zwei, drei.

[Let's make the 29th Anniversary a success!]

[Let's make the 29th Anniversary a success!]
This last Anniversary of ours

This last Anniversary of ours

will not be just a mere festivity!

It will also be a
funeral march for the old

and the prelude of a new
democratic age without a doubt!

Jean-Jacques Rousseau said:

"The purpose of education is not
to make machines, but to make humans."

Friedrich von Schiller,
as you already know,

was a idealism-centered writer
according to the German literary history.

Hebbel, the author of "Barber Zitterlein"
that you've read in the first semester,

with Grabbe as a precursor, he tried to
close the gap between realism and idealism.

Well, ideologically he can be compared
with Hegel and Schopenhauer's...

Ah... Wait a minute.

Umm, the East Dorm is supposed
to perform "Zitterlein", am I right?

Yes sir.

Well, I can't wait to see it.

- Who's going to play Zitterlein?
- Ah, Gan-san from Literature 2A.

That guy with the frightening face?

I see, that makes sense.
And who will play Leonhard?

I will.

Fight on!

No, no, he's not a bad choice.

The problem is Agathe.

Who will play her?
Have you decided?

Well, the only one
who is willing to play her

is Mari-chan from the charcoal shop
behind the school.

Mari-chan, huh?

Well, she is a good girl,
cheerful and healthy...

However, Agathe,
in order to charm the spectators

she must be the embodiment
of beauty and kindness.

For her father, Zitterlein,
she is his very life and soul.

When his daughter fell in love
with his young apprentice, Leonhard,

the jealousy drove him completely mad.

So, in order to convey that to the audience,
you will have to use a beautiful mädchen.

But, you see, there's a systematic problem
with Mari-chan from the charcoal shop.

She rather looks like a sumo wrestler.

Mr. Komura,
I will tell on you to Mari-chan!

Yeah, you should definitely tell her!

No, please don't tell her.

That's Fusako Nakahara.

I am Fusako Nakahara
from the drama club.

Umm... As you've probably
heard from your teacher

we're looking for someone
to put on the stage...

I made a mistake.

... to perform in the play we're putting on
the stage during our next anniversary.

What play would that be?

Uh?

It's a famous German work
called "Barber Zitterlein".

Here's the script.

We need someone
to play the role of Agathe.

I understand.
I'll discuss it with my colleagues.

Excuse me, but I would like you
to be the one to play it.

Don't be so impudent.

I apologize for that.

To whom should I give
the answer afterwards?

To me.

And your name is?

I'm Onkel from the East Dorm.

Onkel-san?

I look forward to your answer.

- What's wrong with you guys?
- Uh?

You look as if something important
was sucked out of you.

- Ma'am.
- Uh?

I've made up my mind.

No other mädchen than Fusako Nakahara
is fitted to play Agathe.

- You moron!
- Are you sane?

She's the Girls' School's Madonna.

Didn't he say
"A schoolgirl lacks sex appeal."?

Then why did you stop me?
"I apologize for that."

- "To me."
- That's just like him.

I want to make this clear.

Count me out if she's not playing.

Good-bye Ma'am.

What's wrong with him?

Auntie, will this do?

Yeah. Tell him to
"Please wait a little longer".

Yes.

Good afternoon.

Ah, good afternoon.

Jun-chan went to the dentist, so Auntie
said to please wait a little longer.

Okay.

"Barber Zitterlein"?

Ah... It's the script of a play.

It's the play with which our dorm
will enter the drama contest.

Will you be playing in it?

I couldn't refuse them since
everyone decided it.

What is your role?

It's someone named Leonhard,

and he's the man who marries
the heroine of this play.

To tell you the truth, people from
your dorm came to my school for that.

You met with them?

I did, as a representative
of the drama club.

I see.

There was someone named Onkel-san.

Ah... him?

He's funny.

He's a little peculiar,
but he's a good guy.

My friends told me to do it.

Maybe I should give it a try
if you're going to play in it.

Do you think I'll be up to the task?

I think everyone will be delighted...
if you agree to play.

Really?

Yeah.

I'm home.

He's back.

Then, I'll think about it.

It hurts a lot.

Don't be a wimp.

Good afternoon.

Yeah.

Ah... They pulled out my tooth.
It really hurts.

Onkel, for how long
will you be fixed on that?

The fact that we didn't get a response
from the Girls' School so far

it means that they refused our offer.

Onkel-san, let's look
for other options.

Hey, is Onkel-san from the East Dorm
over there?

Yeah, he's here.

He's got a telephone call.

I usually ask them to leave a message,
but since it's a girl, I came for him.

Move...

Who is it? What's her name?

Well, what was her name again...

Ah, it's Nakahara, uh-huh.

Uh, Nakahara what was it...

It's Fusako Nakahara!

What are you doing, Onkel-san?

Hello, Onkel speaking.

Excuse me for calling you out.

No problem.

Well, this is about the role of Agathe.

Yes.

Umm, if you're all right with me,

I would like to play it.

Hello?!

Yes.

Will that be all right?

Danke. Danke!

A few days later, Fusako-san turned up
at the appointed time.

How do you know her?

Don't tell the others.

Agathe's here!
Come quickly, hurry!

Wenn i komm', wenn i komm',
When I come, when I come,

wenn i wiedrum komm', wiedrum komm',
when I finally come back, finally come back,

Kehr' i ein, mein Schatz, bei dir.
I will return to you, my dear.

Kann i glei net allweil bei dir sein,
Though I can't always be by your side,

Han i doch mein Freud' an dir!
You are my only joy!

Wenn i komm', wenn i komm',
When I come, when I come,

wenn i wiedrum komm', wiedrum komm',
when I finally come back, finally come back,

Kehr' i ein, mein Schatz, bei dir.
I will return to you, my dear.

Hey, East Dorm guys, she's here!

Oh, she's here?

Haru-san, do you really
have to do that right now?

Agathe's coming now, so do that later.

- What's an "agathe"?
- This stinks.

Hey, East Dorm guys,
come out, Agathe's here!

Whoa, that was close!
This stinks...

Hey, Agathe's here!

Your Madonna has finally arrived.

Oh Agathe, you are my treasure!

As you all already know,
this is Fusako Nakahara.

Good afternoon.

Nice to meet you.

We're very happy that you're here.

- Is this the dorm?
- Yes.

Our dorm is over there.

Arles.

Excuse me.

I was told to sharpen the razor,

but your father forgot to give me
the whetstone.

Oh, my father is sometimes
absent-minded.

Don't mind him,
he's actually a good man.

Woo-hoo!

Shh!

Gan.

Thank you.

You must be a master at sharpening razors
since you have the leisure to chat.

Okay, nice tone.

I just wanted to get the whetstone
which you forgot to give me.

Then, just take it already and go, go!

Father, why are you
talking to him like that?

When I hired that journeyman,

I promised to offer him a 20 Groschen wage,
food and a bedroom.

Mister, you're distracting me.

Don't look this way.

The audience is that way, right?

What the heck are you doing?

That's because Fusako-san
is facing this way.

You moron, it's common sense to speak
facing the audience in a play.

- Fusako-san, come here.
- Yes.

A bit more forward.
That's it.

But, I did not promise to treat him
with kindness.

I beg you, Agathe, could you
be more frugal with your kindness?

You're asking the impossible of me,
Father.

Agathe, you are my treasure.

Will you promise me?

Promise what?

That you will never give
yourself to a man?

Yes, Father, I promise.

Good night.

You're such a good child.

Lord, please forgive me!

Silent blackout.

Right on the mark!

Father, here's a poor old gypsy lady

almost frozen like a stone that doesn't
seem to have a place to stay for the night.

Humph... A gypsy hag?

Just give her some money
and drive her out.

Father.

Err... Master.

Please don't drive me out
into that dreadful cold.

Err... I'll leave as soon as
the dawn breaks.

Oh dear.

Can you read fortune with cards?

Yes, I can... That's not it... Let me read
your fortune as a gratitude for the shelter.

You know, you don't seem like
a gypsy hag at all.

Hey, isn't there anyone else
that can play this role?

Good grief.

- Excuse me.
- Uh?

- Is he supposed to play an old lady?
- Yeah, that's right.

If so, he should just imitate
the hag from the charcoal shop.

That would be funny.

Something like this, and mumbling
just like she does all the time.

Today is Grampa's death anniversary...

- That's just like her.
- You think so? I see.

She's supposed to be lost here, right?
Lend me that a bit.

Oh, I'm exhausted.

Oh my! This is terrible.
It seems that I got lost.

Ah! There's a light over there.

Knock-knock. Knock-knock.

Hallo! Could you please
let me spend the night here?

Say something, Gan-san.

A gypsy hag?

Just give her some money
and drive her out.

Master, I'm just a poor old lady.

Allow me to stay a while
near that warm fireplace.

I'll leave as soon as the dawn breaks.

That's hot...

Thank you, thank you.
It's so warm. Thank you, thank you.

You were so good!

It's settled! Haru-san,
you should play this role.

Uh? No, I can't do that, I can't.

If someone old like me takes part
in your play it will only ruin it.

That's not true.
You'll only repeat what you just did now.

But I'm not a high school student.

Haru-san, please.

No. I can't, I can't!

In any case, I have to prepare
the food for tomorrow.

Haru-san!

What's the matter?

So 10 days left, huh?

Of what?

Until the Anniversary is over.

And the fire storm ends.

And then, I guess we'll have
to say good-bye to Agathe.

Hey, let's do this!

I hear a baby's cries.

It's our child.

What? Yours'?

Yes, it's your grandchild.

Wah-wah!

Father.

How adorable he is.
He's a gift from God.

Calling this child's father a devil...
Have I gone mad?

That's right, I've gone mad!

I'm the one possessed by the Devil.

Oh Lord! Punish me....

Agathe, rush to Zitterlein!

Embrace Zitterlein.

"Father!"

Father!

The curtain falls silently.

What was that just now?

"Agathe turns her gaze away from
her father and embraces Leonhard",

that's what I wrote.

"Father!"
That was just like in a country play.

What's wrong with depicting
Agathe's deep love for her father?

That's right.

It's a matter of motif. Listen here.

Isn't the original work supposed
to depict the dreadful human condition?

So won't the fact that Agathe rushes
to her father bring him salvation?

I agree.

We don't need such a cheap salvation.

How is that cheap?

We're not doing a melodrama here,
you know.

It's a tragedy because there's no salvation.
Am I wrong?

Fine. Let's take a break.

Shall we clean up?

We'll think better
with a full stomach!

Which one would be easier for you?

What exactly?

I mean... Staying beside Leonhard
and staring at her father...

... or rushing to him
crying out "Father"?

I'm not really sure about it.

But when Gan-san fell...
it suddenly crossed my mind.

What exactly?

Falling in love with someone
is a terrifying thing.

Fusako-san.

Yes.

It's about these.

Everybody, serve yourselves.

- Wow!
- Wow!

- Good night.
- Good night.

- Let's go.
- Uh-huh.

Driven by the thought of being our last
Matsuyama City's major annual event

as well as the
Matsuyama HS Anniversary,

we worked all night for 3-4 days
on play rehearsals, costume parade practice

and arranging the dorm decorations.

And then,
the day had finally arrived.

Hey, Gan! What are you eating?

[Dormitory Exhibition]

[The Gobi Desert]

Come on... This is not the Gobi Desert
it's a garbage desert.

[Written on the dog: "Camel"]

- No way!

Ah-ah, he's naked.

How embarrassing.

[The 29th Anniversary's
Drama Contest Venue]

Mom...

Hey, hey. The front row is filled
by the Girls' School.

Hey, the curtain is rising.

- Hey Ino, have you seen Onkel-san?
- Nope.

What the heck is he doing?
It's almost time.

You human-mask wearing devil...

Lord, please forgive me...

... for I have lied.

Onkel-san.

What are you doing here?

You look so pretty.

We're finally about to begin.

Last night, I was so anxious
that I couldn't sleep.

Me too.

I wonder if the audience
will understand this play?

But... The cafeteria mister said that
it's going to be fine, didn't he?

He did saw all the other dorm's plays,
you know.

I see. So everything
is going to be fine, right?

I'm sure it will.

That's right... You can have this.
I got it from my aunt.

Danke.

Come now, it's time.

Fight on!

And now,
the East Dorm's contest entry,

an adaptation by Choichiro Saeki based on
the original work of Friedrich Hebbel,

the "Barber Zitterlein" will now begin.

- Fight on!
- East Dorm, do your best!

- We were waiting for you!
- Fusako-san!

Father, are you not going to eat?

Tonight will be the last time we are going
to eat dinner like this, just the two of us.

Tonight will be the last time?

The young journeyman
is coming tomorrow.

And that will be the end of this.

I do not understand what
you are saying, Father.

When the journeyman arrives,
it will be easier for you,

and you'll also have someone to talk to.

Even I...

You'll be less bored, will you not?

Very well, Agathe, just torment me!

What are you saying?
I love you very much, Father.

Forgive me, dear daughter.

Because you are my only treasure.

It's going well.

Father, I'm sure you're just tired.

Ma'am, I'm really sorry.

It looks like it's going to take
another 40 minutes.

Could you please wait a little longer?
Thank you.

There, there, there.
Aren't you cute?

Peek-a-boo!

- Haru-san!
- Yes, yes. Yes?

Come on, you're peeing again?
It's your turn.

Just a minute, I'm finishing now.

I'll be right there.

How much will that take?
Hurry up, please!

- Hurry up.
- Ah, I wet myself.

Why did I take this difficult job?

Say, what are my lines again?

What are my lines?

Make the dog bark already.

Father, here's a poor old gypsy lady

almost frozen like a stone that doesn't
seem to have a place to stay for the night.

A gypsy hag?

Just give her some money
and drive her out.

But she's so pitiful.

Haru-san.

Haru-san, hurry.

I need to pee.

Haru-san!

Don't look this way...

- Haru-san, we were waiting for you!
- Haru-san!

Hi!

Umm... Master...

Master...

Please, don't drive me out
into that dreadful blizzard.

Please, take me to that warm fireplace.

It's me who should go there.

Ah, it's so warm, so warm...

The cold is not good for your back
when you're old.

Ouch, that's hot... Hot!

Hey, are you all right?

Haru-san! Your lines, your lines!

Mister.

Yes.

- Granny.
- Yes, yes, yes.

Can you read fortune with cards?

Cards?
No, I always play Oicho-Kabu*.

*a traditional Japanese card game
that is similar to Baccarat.
Cards?
No, I always play Oicho-Kabu*.

*a traditional Japanese card game
that is similar to Baccarat.
Oicho-Kabu is what I always play.

But, Granny,
you're a gypsy, aren't you?

Gypsy?

Yeah, that's right.

Well, I completely forgot my lines
with everyone looking at me.

My bad! I completely forgot...

Hey! East Dorm!

Come watch the play!
It's a big hit!

Forget about the dorm exhibition
and come with me.

Hey, Tasshi!

- Yeah!
- Come quickly!

Well then, Agathe.

As according
to the journeyman's custom,

I will be leaving.

The other day,
I asked you not to leave.

But, I will not ask you anymore.

May you have... the strength I lack.

Farewell...

... Agathe.

Farewell.

What are you doing to my daughter?

You devil!

Father, stop!

How dare you do that to my Agathe?

- "My"?!
- That's right. She's my Agathe!

Agathe, is your injury serious?

No.

I'm fine.

Nakahara!

Well done!

Hey, chorus, chorus.

Oh Agathe!
Oh my precious Agathe!

Why have things turned out this way?

What am I supposed to do?

- Gan!
- Fight on!

Ma'am, thanks for waiting.

I'll borrow him for a bit.

So what about the last scene?
Make up your mind already.

I think it would be better for Agathe
to rush to Leonhard's side.

Abandoning her father?
Is Agathe such a cold-hearted woman?

She didn't abandon her father,
she just chose Leonhard's love.

Then, wouldn't that make her father
too miserable?

This is like flogging a dead horse.

Hey, it's time to open the curtains.
Agathe, hurry, hurry.

Hey, Hyodo, I'm counting on you.

Father?

Is it really you Father?

You were alive?

We looked for you everywhere.

Who are you?

It is me.

I'm your apprentice, Leonhard.

I won't fall for your deception.

You human-mask wearing devil!

Lord, please shine upon
my father's corrupted soul!

Cry!

Forgive me, boy.

I hear a baby's cries.

It's our child.

"Our child" you say?

Father, stop!

It's your grandchild.

How adorable he is.
He's a gift from God.

Calling this child's father a devil...
Have I gone mad?

That's right, I've gone mad!

I'm the one possessed by the Devil.

Oh Lord! Punish me!

Gan, well done!

Bravo!

Bravo!

The audience is moved to tears.

Onkel-san, was that fine?

That was just fine.
Danke.

- It was so touching.
- I'm glad, I'm glad.

Thanks to you.

Haru-san, Haru-san, come up here.

Haru-san!

Haru-san!

Thank you very much.
I'm sorry, boy.

She's a girl!

Thus, our play, "Barber Zitterlein",
splendidly secured the contest's first place.

Rainy days followed
after the Anniversary ended.

Feeling all wretched
after the festival

we started working hard to catch-up
with our overdue lessons.

Onkel-san, were you up all night?

Yeah.

- Ask Holtan to answer in my place.
- Okay.

- Howdy!
- Hi.

Howdy.

- Nishida-kun.
- Here.

- Noze-kun.
- Here.

- Harada-kun.
- Here.

Hinoki-kun.

Here.

- Are you Onkel Hinoki's friend?
- Yes sir.

Tell him that if he's absent one more time
he'll fail for lack of attendance.

Yes sir.

There are only a few classes left, after all.

Yes sir.

- Iwata-kun.
- Here.

Fujita-kun.

I warmed you some miso soup.

Haru-san.

What is it?

- Haru-san...
- Uh?

Have you ever told a woman
"I love you"?

What's up with you so early in the morning?
You say such amusing things.

Well, I can't say that I didn't...

In that case...

If there's another man in love
with that mädchen, should I hate him?

In other words, the love for your loved one
stirs your hatred towards someone else.

Can that kind of egoistic love
be called true love?

How to solve such a contradiction,
Haru-san?

I have no idea.

I'm busy.

Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt,
Weiß, was ich leide!

"Only one familiar with yearning
knows what I suffer!"

"Alone and sundered
from all joy,"

"I look up at the sky
seeking the world beyond."

Onkel! Have you gone mad?

Yeah!

Danke, danke!

Danke, danke, danke!

Over here.

Are you all right?
You have a fever, don't you?

You better go see a doctor.

Say, Kosuke...

What is it?

What if...

If I were to tell her "I love you"...

... will she get angry at me?

Or, will she laugh at me?

Her?

Agathe.

She... is not a person who'll laugh
at someone's true feelings.

You think so?

Yes.

Danke.

At this rate, I feel like
I'm going to suffocate to death.

Ever since the day the Anniversary ended,
she's the only thing I can think of.

I love her...
more than anyone in the world.

I can't express
these feelings verbally,

so I wrote a letter instead.

Kosuke.

I beg you.

Could you deliver this to Agathe?

She only has to read it.

I'll be satisfied with just the fact
that she knows how I feel.

Danke.

Good afternoon.

Excuse me,
is Fusako Nakahara-san here?

I come from Matsuyama
High School's dormitory.

Could you please call her out?

Sister, you have a visitor.

Who?

No idea.
It's someone from Matsuyama HS.

Oh.

Good afternoon.

I was wondering who it was.

I'm sorry for holding you till late
at the Anniversary's evening party.

That probably got you scolded.

Not at all. I enjoyed it very much.

Really?

Is there something you want with me?

Yeah.

Do you have a minute?

Then, although I'm embarrassed
by the mess, let's go inside.

We are so lucky since until now it kept
raining ever since the Anniversary ended.

I hear it's called a long autumn rain.

You know I'm a repatriate
from Manchuria, right?

So I'm very surprised by how much
it rains in Japan.

I'll make some tea right away.

Come inside.

Yes.

Agathe... I mean... Fusako-san.

Yes.

I want you to just listen to me.

Hmm...

"Ever since the day
the Anniversary ended,"

"you're the only thing
I can think of."

"At this rate, I feel
I might suffocate to death."

"I love you with all my heart."

Ah... I'm not talking about myself.

Onkel-san asked me to tell you that.

"She only has to know."

I think you might be able to understand
Onkel-san's feelings.

This is Onkel-san's letter.
Please, read it.

Well then, I'm going now.

Good-bye.

[To my beloved one,
From Keigo Hinoki]

Kosuke-san!

I'm sorry to make his effort
go to waste, but...

Please return this to Onkel-san.

Can't you just read it?

I can't get myself
to like the Onkel-san

who entrusts such an
important task to someone else.

And besides...

No matter how much he begged you to...

I really hate the Kosuke-san
who came here to deliver that!

Isn't that Kosuke?

Are you drunk?

Did you deliver it?

"I don't want to read it" she said.

Is that what Agathe said?

She said it loud and clear.

"I don't like Onkel-san at all."

Did she really say such a thing?

That's exactly what she said.

Kosuke.

You...

... are in love with Agathe.

Am I right?

You didn't give her the letter, did you?

You just threw it into a ditch

and spent some nice time
together with Agathe, right?

Oh no...

Do you even know
how I felt like going there for you?

If you love her,
why don't you just say so?

What did you say?

Hey, somebody come quick!

Onkel, stop it!

It's only natural that you got rejected!
With such a love letter...

When the morning mist filled...

When we woke up the next day,
Onkel-san had disappeared.

And he never returned
to the dorm or to the school.

Worried that he might commit suicide,

we searched for him here and there,
but we couldn't find him.

In December, we received
a postcard from Onkel-san.

"If I were to state a reason,"

"it would be that I felt I was denied
of a privileged high school life."

"Living as a member of the people
rather than locked inside a ivory tower"

"is how I want to search for
the meaning of life."

"I've already sent
my drop out letter separately."

"You gentlemen should walk
on your own paths."

"Goethe said: 'Overcoming agony
is what leads to true joy.'"

"PS: Someone will soon come to get
my things, I'm counting on your help."

At any rate, he is alive.

Uh-huh.

Hot...

On the 4th year after losing the war,
the society started taking big steps again.

We welcomed the 3rd semester
in a sort of tumultuous atmosphere.

Gentlemen, you will soon
bid farewell to the senior high school.

I know your senior high school days
lasted only for a year, but...

What do you all remember
most about them right now?

Well, if I were to mention a shared
experience that includes myself,

that would be the starvation.

I mean, we sure
were hungry, weren't we?

Hyodo-kun was it, right? The one
who fainted from hunger during class.

I'm sorry about that.

Well, by the time you all graduate from
university and become part of the society...

Due to America's control,

I think Japan's productivity will improve
and the food shortage will be solved.

However, I want you to think
of something at that moment.

Will just a full stomach bring
happiness to the Japanese people?

"Watch out when you're getting
all you want."

"Fattening hogs ain't in luck",
so goes a famous saying.

The great power that
controls the current Japan

is trying to strip us of
our strong aspiration for liberty

and turn the Japanese people
into a spineless flock of obedient sheep.

That is what I worry about.

The most important things
you've learned in senior high school

are autonomy and liberty.

Not as in "Freedom".

But as in a "Liberty" acquired
through one's personal struggle.

I want you to never forget
the idea of liberty...

no matter how old you are.

Well then, my last lesson ends here.

Young gentlemen,
I wish you good luck.

No less than your weight.

Danke!

Danke!

University admission exams
are held at the end of May.

And I decided to go for
Kyushu University's Law School.

What are you going to do if you don't
get in Osaka University's Medical School?

I'll work part-time and
I'm going to try again next year.

For the Medical School?

Uh-huh.

Why do you want to become
a doctor so much?

Don't you think you're more suited
to become a school teacher?

That's how I thought when
I entered high school, but...

Do you remember when I took Sakiko-san
back home last year in May?

Yeah.

On the way back...

... I've made up my mind...

... to become a doctor for people
who live in such doctorless villages.

I think that's the path God
has set for me.

On the day my entrance exam ended,

I went to town thinking of buying
souvenirs for my young sisters.

[The Great German Writer - Hebbel's Original Work]
[Hairdresser Takichi's Tragic Tale]

The masterpiece written by
Germany's great writer Hebbel...

Welcome, please come in.

The relationship between a hairdresser
and his daughter. Please, come in.

So this child...

That's right, Pa,
he's your grandchild.

What?

How adorable he is.

Calling this child's father a demon...

Have I gone mad?

That's right, I've gone mad.

Almighty Buddha!
Please, send me to hell!

- Director!
- Yeah, what is it?

You have a visitor.

He says he's a friend
from your school days.

Make this look real.

Got that?

Real.

Kosuke! I'm glad you're here!

I'm glad you're here!

In the beginning,

we tried doing it just
like at the Anniversary,

with Agathe embracing
Leonhard at the end.

But the audience of this troupe
couldn't comprehend it.

For them, the play wasn't over yet.

As I thought, Agathe has to rush
to her father crying.

The audience understands that
and then the clapping starts.

Although Chopinski said that
there's no need for redemption...

But the audience here seeks salvation.

To comfort their miserable lives.

For that they are willing
to pay several yens.

Don't you agree?

It was very good.

Danke.

Hey, you should eat something.
The hamburger here is delicious.

I'm so glad that you're doing fine.

Everyone was so worried,
afraid that you have commited suicide.

I see.

Sorry.

I only have this now, is it okay?

- Is he here?
- Yeah, come in.

Director, someone from the Fujita gang
came by and a quarrel started.

Looks like I have no choice.
I'll go take a look.

You take your time.

Hey, you keep him some company.

She's my liebe.

Is Agathe doing well?

Probably...
I haven't seen her since though.

I see.

So you haven't seen her?

Thank you very much!

Come again!

Welcome!

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

You bastard!
Watch where you're going!

With the Kyushu University
matriculation approaching,

on a early summer day,
I visited the city of Matsuyama.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

Fusako-san, you're also an adult now.

Stop it.

Senior high school
will soon be abolished.

I know.

Kosuke-san, you're going to
Kyushu University, right?

Yeah, that's right.
I recently met Onkel-san in Hakata.

How was he?

He was doing really well.

I'm glad.

I was worried about him.

I'm glad I met you.

So do I.

I wasn't intending
to tell you this, but...

I loved you from the first moment
I saw you.

Even now I still love you.

Farewell... Agathe.

Wait.

Why are you leaving
without hearing my answer?

Do you not understand how I feel?

I've loved you
all this time, Kosuke-san.

Lots of things happened, but,
we didn't end up together in the end.

And so, long months
and years have passed.

3 years after that,

Onkel-san was stabbed to death
by a gangster over something trivial.

Sticking to his faith,

Arles carries his medical activities
in a doctorless village in Nepal.

Hyodo retired last year
from the Ehime Bank.

As for I, to inherit Onkel-san's will
in some form, I became a scenario writer.

[Only one familiar with yearning
knows what I suffer]
