Original subtitles

The news that Manpei-san and the employees of Tachibana Salt Company got arrested

spread rapidly after it was reported by the newspaper.

And the fact that even Sera-san was taken away.

But Fuku-chan believed that

Manpei-san and others would surely get released.

How could they not? They haven't done anything wrong.

This is a grave situation, Chairman Mitamura.

People doing business with Sera-san are all trembling with fear that

they might be marked by Occupation Forces too.

We should have Sera Trading Company withdraw from the Osaka Chamber of Commerce.

Tachibana Salt Company too.

Tachibana Salt Company was the cause to begin with.

Even if we don't do anything, that company will fold on its own.

Soon, they'll be banned from the Monopoly Bureau.

That's how things were going.

It was the day before yesterday when they got the bad news.

That's not it.

The Occupation Forces people are misunderstanding.

But the fact remains that they were arrested...

Being that we're a government office, we can't be dealing with problematic companies.

That's why I'm telling you that the misunderstanding will be resolved soon!

What did the Monopoly Bureau say?

- That they may stop doing business with us. - Stop?!

I'm just saying that may happen so you may want to be prepared.

Wait a minute please!

- What is this out of the blue! - Don't back off, Fuku-chan.

- He hung up on me. - What the...

We'll be fine. Yes.

What is this thing called Daneihon?

Tell us!

It's nutritious food that we're making.

Daneihon means nutrition in German.

German?

It's actually pronounced die ernährung, but

that wasn't good for a product name so...

What's in it?

Why did you...

What kind of a product is it?

The ingredients of Daneihon include animal protein,

vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, and vitamin K,

made into paste form like butter

so that it can be spread on bread.

Why did you make that?

Like I said, I wanted to help people all over Osaka suffering from malnutrition.

But at first, it was because my wife had a baby

but had a hard time recovering from childbirth.

Recovering from childbirth?

The unborn child takes the nutrition from the mother.

Uh...

And so...she becomes dizzy.

I see.

Did Daneihon sell?

Unfortunately, it didn't sell to the general public.

But hospitals are buying them for their hospitalized patients.

That's not very profitable.

That's okay. I didn't make it to make money.

Why are you asking him that?

Come in.

Sergeant May, Sera would like to talk to you.

Just ignore him.

He just would like to talk to you.

Just go now.

Try throwing the hand grenade one more time.

Fishes have daily routine too.

The reason no fish came floating up is because there were no fish there at that time.

They should all start gathering around sunset.

So try throwing the hand grenade just one more time.

If fishes come floating up then,

that will mean they weren't lying. I'll be released.

Is that all you have to say?

There's more.

That Charlie Tanaka is a wiseass.

Guard!

- Put him back in the cell. - Yes. Come on.

You should hear what I have to say!

♫ What a waste of time

Sergeant May.

More men have just come to testify about Manpei Tachibana.

Who is it?

I'm Maki Zennosuke.

I am the board director of Osaka Dentists' Association.

Since I am in a respectable position,

I hope you can consider me to be trustworthy. Translate please.

Uh~ He is...

What do you wish to say?

So what's your testimony?

Tachibana Manpei is a good man.

He is definitely not the kind of man who would plan a rebellion against Occupation Forces

like it says in the newspaper.

Do you know Tachibana well?

The woman I used to like was Fuku-chan's older sister.

Fuku-chan?

- She's Manpei-san's wife. - Ah.

And my current wife

was a colleague of Fuku-chan when they were working at a hotel.

Of course, I know Manpei-san quite well too.

The most memorable time is when he was arrested by the Japanese military police.

We made an all out effort to save Manpei-san.

- He was arrested by the military police? - Yes.

For what crime?

For selling military supplies on the black market.

Wow!

But that was a false accusation.

A bad guy framed Manpei-san.

Eventually, he was deemed innocent, and Manpei-san was released.

It's the same thing this time too!

He's innocent.

What is that guy?

- Sergeant May. - Yes?

Another man is here to testify.

What?

My name is Kajitani Keisuke.

Kajitani?

I have a close connection with Tachibana Manpei-kun,

- and, as such, I know him very well. - You're saying he's a good man?

A good man doesn't even begin to describe who he is!

I did a terrible thing to him in the past.

But he...Tachibana-kun forgave me.

What kind of terrible thing?

I was selling military supplies on the black market

and was putting the blame for the crime on him.

So that was you...

Tachibana-kun was tortured mercilessly by the military police.

He was deemed innocent and was released, but

a normal person would have hated me.

It would be natural for him to beat me up. But he didn't do that.

What do you think Tachibana-kun said to me?

I forgive you. Thanks to you, Kajitani-san,

I was able to marry Fukuko. That's what he said!

Thanks to Tachibana-kun, I was able to start my life all over,

and I am now working as a chindonya .

Chindonya?

This is not an advertisement today.

There's something I'd like all of you to know.

This is not an advertisement today.

There's something I'd like all of you to know.

"Tachibana Manpei-kun did no wrong"?

Tachibana Manpei-kun

did no wrong~!

Advocates of Tachibana?

They're all idiots.

This should be enough.

Why don't we put them all on trial?

They haven't been released?

There hasn't been any word from Occupation Forces...

I apologize for my lack of ability.

Not at all. I appreciate your thoughts.

There's nothing I can do anymore.

But I'm sure Manpei-kun will come back to you, Fuku-chan!

I believe that!

Thank you very much.

Yes. You take care too, Kajitani-san.

Looks like there was someone else besides me who wanted to help Manpei-san.

I only feel appreciation to you too, Maki-san.

Thank you so much.

I can be reckless because I'm an outsider.

Even if you ventured into Occupation Forces' territory, they probably won't pay any attention to family members.

But in the end, I think you're the only one, Fuku-chan,

who can save Manpei-san.

But it was difficult for Fuku-chan to even protect the company right now.

- How's it going? Is it ready? - One box is done.

It's heavy.

We're almost out of Daneihon too.

We're all out of ingredients.

What do we do...

How can such an unfair thing be allowed.

It doesn't make any sense.

I wonder how Taka-chan's doing.

Fukuko... Gen...

Manpei Tachibana and his employees are innocent.
