Original subtitles

I woke up to the jingle-jingle of my alarm clock Jiri-jiri to narihibiku mezamashi de okosareta

The dazzling sun is in perfect form again today Gira-gira to taiyou ga kyou mo mata zekkouchou

I followed your back, rubbing my sleepy eyes Nemutai me kosutte wa kimi no senaka oikakete

I ran, stumbled and fell, and then got depressed Kakeashi de tsumazuite koronde wa ochikonda

During class, I look up to the sky Jugyouchuu sora wo mite

With my mouth open wide, and suddenly Bokari kuchi wo akeru atama ni

A paper plane hits me in the head, with a message: Meichuushita kamihikouki no MESSEJI

"Please, keep on smiling forever" "itsumo itsumo warattete"

Now, I'm by your side every day Ima kimi no sugusoba de wakachiaeru mainichi

I feel like I can overcome any hardship Donna konnan datte tobikoerareru

Together, we'll keep heading toward tomorrow Ashita wo futari de mukaerareru you ni ne

Even when it's cloudy, we'll smile in happy colors, Kumorizora no hi datte shiawase iro de warau kara

Just like the sparkling sun Pika-pika no taiyou no you ni

"Dear Grandpa,"

"Right now, I'm facing my first trial since coming to Alice Academy."

"I have to make it through the frightening Northern Woods using my Alice."

"That's the challenge he forced upon me."

"But... what is my Alice, anyway?"

And...

The Northern Woods... What is this place?

The... the stuffed animal is moving!

All on its own!

This is My Alice * All on its own!

This is My Alice *

This is My Alice * This is My Alice!

This is My Alice *

What is this?

Where's the signal receiver for the remote control?

Wow! It moves as though it's alive!

You're so cute!

Teddy! What are you doing in a place like this?

M... Mikan!

Y-Y-Y-You b-b-better m-m-move a-a-away f-f-from th-th-that s-s-stuffed b-b-bear!

Huh?

M... Mikan!

M... Mikan! Are you all right?!

Th... That bear is...

...Mr. Bear, the Forest Keeper. It's the most powerful bear ever!

S... Say what?

Right, left, right, right, left, body blow, chin, uppercut, and a kick to boot!

Ahh, Mikan!

Faculty Room

Are you sure you don't want to help her?

I'm certain my judgment of her is correct, but...

Hey, do you think that transfer student will really get through the Northern Woods?

No way! There's no way she can beat Bear.

Yeah. I'll bet ten rabbits that Bear makes her give up!

I'll bet fifty rabbits!

But what if she's hiding some kind of incredible ability?

There's no way. I'm sure her lies have been unraveled by now.

Right, Natsume?

You all know that this isn't the type of place...

...where just anyone can stroll in and make themselves comfortable.

Right, right, right! You're so right! Really!

I was just thinking that myself, Natsume!

Back then...

...I could have sworn I used my Alice.

Who is she, exactly?

M-M-M-M-M-Mikan!

Hotaru! We have to save Mi...

This sleeping bag shelter is called " Caterpillar I."

It's cold resistant, heat resistant, sound proof and can withstand shock.

What are you talking about?!

Mikan's going to die!

Mikan!

Class Rep, put her in my car before Bear springs back to life.

A long time ago, there was a student whose Alice let him breathe life into the dolls he made.

Apparently Bear is the first doll he ever made.

According to one story, it became violent because he put its eyes on crooked.

But it's made from fabric and wood chips, so it's weak against water.

Come and get me, you stupid bear! But it's made from fabric and wood chips, so it's weak against water.

If you knew that, why didn't you douse it in the first place?!

Without bait to distract Bear, how could I have dumped water on it?

So I'm bait, now?! A sacrifice?! Hotaru!!

Do you really think you're in any position to complain?

You can't even protect yourself, but you agreed to such a dangerous game.

Think about the trouble you're causing by dragging us into this mess.

This academy isn't a place where your thoughtless actions can get you by.

If you plan to continue this game, you'd better do something...

...about that spoiled attitude of yours before you get us into real trouble.

D... Don't worry about it. Hotaru's just really worried about you, Mikan...

Hotaru's right...

I talked big, but...

So, you can use your Alice!

But you don't know how to live a fulfilling life because you don't know how to work for it!

Go get those moronic brains replaced somewhere!

If Hotaru didn't come, who knows what would have happened to me?

Everyone at this academy has their own Alice, and can stand tall on their own two feet.

Useless Why'd you even come here?! Moron! Everyone at this academy has their own Alice, and can stand tall on their own two feet.

Draggingusdown Useless Why'd you even come here?! Moron! Idiot Everyone at this academy has their own Alice, and can stand tall on their own two feet.

You'reall talk Draggingusdown Goodfor nothing! Useless Why'd you even come here?! Moron! Idiot Everyone at this academy has their own Alice, and can stand tall on their own two feet.

You'reall talk Draggingusdown Goodfor nothing! Useless Why'd you even come here?! Moron! Idiot Leave!! You're worthless

You'reall talk Draggingusdown Goodfor nothing! Useless Why'd you even come here?! Moron! Idiot Leave!! You're worthless But as for me, since I don't have an Alice...

...I had to be stronger than everyone else, but...

Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!

I...

As an apology, I'll go find us some food!

Mikan!

It's okay.

If you have to play this game, and you want to win, then we want you to win, too.

Just keep yourself together next time, okay?

Yeah!

I'm sorry!

By the way, what's the deal with that cocky boy Natsume something-or-other? Is he the boss?

Talk about quick subject change. Talk about quick subject change.

Natsume is, well...

You'd probably better stay away from him, Mikan.

Huh? You'd probably better stay away from him, Mikan.

Huh?

Huh? We don't know much about him.

We don't know much about him.

What we do know is that he has the Fire Alice...

He has such incredible power, even the adults have trouble handling him.

Also, he despises this academy.

Despises it?

There are a lot of bad rumors about him, too.

Natsume is a habitual troublemaker and escapee.

He's the youngest of our top tier geniuses. Natsume is a habitual troublemaker and escapee.

He's the youngest of our top tier geniuses.

He's the youngest of our top tier geniuses. ...there was a possibility that he might hurt someone...

...there was a possibility that he might hurt someone...

The only person who can get close to Natsume is Ruka Nogi, his childhood friend.

At any rate, he possesses the most dangerous Alice in the academy.

Did I...

Did I...

...make an enemy out of someone really dangerous?

He had eyes like fire...

But then his eyes turn so cold, it chills you to the bone.

No... way...

Run!

Middle School Division Breeding Club

Hey! Does anyone know where Giant Piyo went?

Eh? It's probably in its pen in the Northern Woods.

No, it wasn't there.

That's bad... It must be really hungry right about now.

When it's hungry...

Come to think of it, I remember hearing the middle school division is raising a mutated chick.

That thing is beyond mutated!

On top of that, it's really fast!

Nooo!

Owww!

Mikan! Owww!

Hurry. Owww!

Hurry.

Trip! Skid! Jump!

We're in trouble, aren't we?

At this rate, we can't move.

Bear behind us. A chick in front of us...

The only one who can do something about this is Ruka. Bear behind us. A chick in front of us...

Bear behind us. A chick in front of us...

Ruka has the Animal Pheromone Alice.

You mean, animals love him because he has animal pheromones?

Yeah.

But Ruka is Natsume's friend, right? There's no way he'd help us...

Ah! But Ruka is Natsume's friend, right? There's no way he'd help us...

Ah!

Hotaru? Did you think of something?

Class Rep, your Alice. It's about time you used it, don't you think?

Class Rep's Alice?

Ah, it's Ruka! He's so handsome!

They way he gives us the cold shoulder is so dreamy!

Ah, it's Ruka.

Ruka!

We'll take care of the animals, so don't worry about them.

Ruka! Help us!

Something terrible is happening in the Northern Woods!

Save us!

Come to the Northern Woods! Come to the Northern Woods!

Help!

This way!

Over here!

Over here, over here! Over here, over here!

Yep, right there! Yep, right there!

Yep, right there! Yep, right there!

Who would have thought he'd actually fall for it...

S... Sorry for showing you illusions, Ruka.

Illusions?

We were hoping you could do something about that, so...

...thanks for your cooperation!

Don't touch me!

Don't touch me, you ugly loser.

Say that one more time!

If you're not going to help, then Hotaru has to knock it out with a blowgun!

Don't you feel bad for it?

If you don't want to, that's fine by me.

I like fried chicken.

Fine.

Fine, I'll do it! Just don't watch, okay?

I wonder why he doesn't want us to watch?

Dunno...

Only a few people in our class have seen him use his Alice.

I've never even seen him speak to anyone but Natsume.

He's kind of mysterious...

Is he... hiding his true self?

Such wonderful fuzz...

Let's ...

Let's ...

Let's ...

Let's ...

...play!

That's ...

...the real...

...Ruka?

Natsume!

Someone used clairvoyance to look in the Northern Woods.

Looks like Ruka is being held captive by that new student!

Seems he was tricked into it, too.

That girl must have taken Ruka hostage because she knew she couldn't win!

She's horrible!

Hey, Natsume's expression just changed! She's horrible!

Hey, Natsume's expression just changed!

This can't be good!

Sorry about the fiasco. Come on, Piyo!

Sorry about the fiasco. We brought you food, so come this way!

We brought you food, so come this way!

Je t'aime! (I love you)

Mon amour! (My love)

Ca va? (How are you?)

You promised... you wouldn't look!

Sorry! It was just too funny! I can see why you'd wanna hide that!

Ruka. Take a look at this.

"Good company makes the journey shorter," right?

Ruka-pyon!

Hey, could you do that one more time?

Tweet-tweet.

Hop-hop.

Bear-bear.

W... Why you...!

If you have time to fool around, then get going already!

Yeah! He's showing his true colors!

You're gullible, and an idiot. You don't seem like a bad guy at all!

Stop making your own assumptions!

Yeah! Stop making your own assumptions!

Yeah!

There's no need to force yourself to be a bad boy!

Your forest friends see right through you!

You're a lovely animal boy!

So why do you act like that on purpose?

Is there a reason you can't smile?

I... won't smile...

...because Natsume won't smile.

I don't want to have fun all by myself, while Natsume is suffering.

Why do you always have to shoulder it all?

I want to grow up fast, and become powerful.

I want to be stronger.

In exchange for power, he was burdened with a sadness that he can't escape. I want to be stronger.

In exchange for power, he was burdened with a sadness that he can't escape.

How long will that sadness continue to build up in Natsume's heart?

I get it!

You're just copying Natsume, aren't you?

But why would you copy that rotten-hearted-

You have no right to say that. You don't know anything!

You don't know what it means to have an Alice that you never wanted, like Natsume...

There's no way you could ever understand how Natsume feels!

An Alice... he never wanted?

I...

I'm sorry!

Just drop it.

Actually, Mikan...

Instead of worrying about other people, have you figured out anything about your own Alice?

If you don't figure out what your Alice is soon, the other kids in our class won't accept you.

That's right... What am I going to do?

I was only concentrating on doing my best and getting through this forest, but...

...if I don't figure out what my Alice is,

I won't be able to stay at this school.

A mysterious power that lets me join a special circle...

If I don't figure it out...

I was finally reunited with Hotaru, but...

...we'll get separated again.

I don't want that!

Na...

Natsume!

Ruka, we're going back.

The game's over.

She's disqualified.

Hurry and get the hell out of here!

How dare you take advantage of Ruka with your dirty tricks!

Those eyes...

I've had enough of your damn nonsense!

I'm scared!

Natsume, stop!

I'm all right!

Remember what you said? You're using this game to see what her Alice is, right?

I don't have the patience to figure out how to expose her anymore.

Mikan!

Mikan!

Class Rep!

Didn't I just say I've run out of patience to expose you?

Say it. What is your Alice?

Th... This is...!

Put out the flame!

Hotaru! Use a fire extinguisher or something!

That won't work against his fire.

Natsume, stop!

All she has to do is show me her Alice.

Hurry up...

...or he's going to die.

If I could show you, I would have already! I don't have that kind of power!

Please, stop already!

It's my fault!

Because I don't have an Alice, this is happening to Class Rep!

Hotaru!

If you don't reveal who you really are, she'll be a goner too.

They have nothing to do with this!

If I have an Alice, please come out! Put out the flames!

Please come out and stop him!

Fine, if that's not enough, then...!

Stop! You idiot!

Why you...!

Watch ou-...!

Natsume... weren't you just about to use a powerful burst of your Alice?

Hey now...

It went out.

Are you all right, Mikan?

That was kind of scary, wasn't it?

T... Teacher...

Mikan!

Hotaru! Class Rep!

I'm so glad you guys are all right!

Well then, I guess that concludes your exam. I'm so glad you guys are all right!

Well then, I guess that concludes your exam.

I saw everything that happened.

Even after all the trouble I put Hotaru and Class Rep through, I wasn't able to figure out my Alice...

I...

Congratulations on passing your entrance exam.

Huh?

You have a wonderful Alice.

Natsume's Alice had no effect on you, right?

That's your Alice.

My... Alice...

You're able to protect yourself by nullifying any hostile Alice.

Your Alice has no distinctive characteristics, but it's a brilliant ability with a lot of potential.

It's still unstable because you're unskilled, but that'll change.

Does that mean...

Does that mean I can stay at this academy?

Eh?

Does that mean I won't be separated from Hotaru again?

That's right!

Hotaru!

From now on, we'll always be together...

Hotaru!

So basically, Mikan's Alice only protects herself?

What a self-centered Alice, just like its owner.

Ouch! What a self-centered Alice, just like its owner.

Ouch!

Teacher, does that mean my Alice can't help other people, like Hotaru and the other kids' Alices?

Any Alice can turn into a poison or a cure, depending on the owner's heart.

Even though your Alice might seem useless right now,

it could show some unexpected results, depending on your training.

Perhaps, even as we speak...

...there might be someone in need of your power.

Well then, why don't we go complete your enrollment process?

Once again...

...welcome to Alice Academy!

We're happy to have you, new student Mikan Sakura!

Yes!

You laughed out in a loud, loud voice Kimi ga ookkina ookkina koe de warattara

Then I copied you, and we laughed together Sugu ni manekko issho ni waratta ne

We walk along this road hand in hand Te wo tsunaide aruita michi

Let's run a race today, you and me Kyou wa futari de kakekkoshiyou

The world shines brightly when we're together Kimi to iru to donna sekai mo akaruku kagayaku yo

As I stand here close to you, Sonna kimi no tonari ni iru

I gather all the tiny moments of happiness Konna chiccha na shiawase wo

And as I embrace them, one by one... Hitotsu hitotsu dakishime nagara

...they turn into smiles Egao ni kaeru yo

Like the rainbow we passed while riding our bikes, Jitensha de kugurinuketa ano niji no you ni

Let's keep these happy colors forever HAPPII na iro de iyou itsumademo

I thought I'd have fun here at the academy, but boy, was I naive!

The academy has a Star Ranking evaluation system that determines how you're treated!

So, what's my Star Rank?

W... What did you say?!
