01x08 - "Dekigokoro" no kai

Post by bunniefuu »

Hello, I am Jumptei Jump.

My favorite suit is a jump suit.

There is a phrase called "Without thinking,"

but those are precisely the
people who should be thinking.

An evil slips into the cr*ck of
the heart, "taken by the devil."

I know that I need to work harder, but

Ginjiro,

- do you know why they say,
"needs to work harder?"
- Huh?

Because they aren't working hard.

Those who say, "I need to work harder,"
are those who are not working hard.

They are telling themselves that.
Those who actually are working hard,

don't say on every occasion,
"I need to work harder."

They just work harder.

- Why did you turn it off?
- We were watching.

Ginjiro, are you working hard?

Um, I'm

not

- working hard.
- Why the f*ck are you not working hard!

These days we call young people who
don't go to school nor go to work, NEET.

Supposedly they are ill in their hearts.

Maybe I'm a NEET
[Not in Employment, Education, or Training].

What?

To be honest, I don't feel like doing anything.

Watching those who are searching for jobs,
I feel like I shouldn't just go on and be a yakuza.

But I don't have anything that I want to do in
particular. Maybe I shouldn't do anything.

Now, now.

When you graduate, we need you
to concentrate fully as yakuza

and become a boss that would leave his
mark in the history of the Ryuseikai.

But should I leave a mark as a yakuza?

And I have no interest in golf,

and I know I'll just be a lazy bum.

But doing part time work is not me either.

I don't need to earn money after all.

I don't know what I should

You pampered piece of sh*t!

Tora! Tora!

Who the f*ck are you!

You got nothing you want to do?

Those are just excuses

for lazy assholes!

Stop this lazy ass sh*t,

and if you're yakuza,

become one f*cking sharp yakuza.

Go find something that even Pops will be
amazed by! Go piss on the Parliament!

- Hyuga-san, am I wrong?!
- Um, You're not wrong. Wait something is wrong.

- I'll fix the f*cking NEET. Here, here.
- Ouch, ow.

Hey, hey. Even if you hit him,
you won't fix the NEET.

Actually what's NEET?

Well, this bastard is not gonna understand

even if you spend years explaining it to him,

but today's story is one such
story of troubled youth.

And so let us begin.

Tiger and

Dragon.

Episode 08: Dekigokoro [Without thinking]

Are you going to do it or not?

I don't know myself, if I want to do it or not.

Are you NEET as well?

But what would happen if you
became a Rakugo-ka, owner?

- That's not a problem,
you can take care of this place.
- What? Me alone?

Oh we should run it like a celebrity shop,

like Umemiya Tatsuo's pickles shop.
Once your popularity rises, then bang,

Wait the order is messed up.
Besides I'm not famous.

Or rather we should split our duties with me.

Day and Night.

I do Rakugo only during the day,
and you do Rakugo only at night.

Then you can take care
of this shop during the day.

Wait, if, if right, I become dad's apprentice,
what am I? An introductory? [Zenza]

What is he kidding? He's not
gonna start from an introductory.

I guess that's right, he was almost a main act.

That's right, before the introductory,
there's the apprenticeship.

- What?
- We don't give preferential treatment

just because you are related by blood.

That's right. And those who quit once,
will run away again.

He's not going to be
an introductory that easily.

That means

he'll be

Waaay below you.

That's the story.

Impossible!

- Then why don't you just surpass me?
- I will, I will surpass you!

But you'll be my elder apprentice (anideshi),

I'll have to call you Ani-san
the rest of my life.

Wait a sec, you always
say that I'm sh*t boring,

but you've never seen my acts have you?!

- I have.
- How was it?

Mmm, I laughed because everyone
else did, but I might not like it.

It's a bit old, or rather it's grimy.

Besides, you're basically
the jock type that I hate.

Like, arg, here's my muscle!

Oh and the face is scary.
I think the kids will cry.

What the? Earthquake?

Oh sh*t!

Tora-chan's all red, his face is like a d*ck!

If you gonna say that much, you better come.

If you don't come to the act,
I'm gonna f*cking destroy this shop!

[Parking Offence]

Hey wait a sec!
I just parked this a second ago.

What're you talking about?
It's been parked for two hours now.

I've been keeping an eye
on it while patrolling, moron.

Oh give me a break, I don't want a ticket!

- Who cares, idiot.
- It's my Aniki's car!

- You're Kaneko?
- Nakatani?

Long time man! What've you been up to?

Pachinko

- So can you take that off?
- Can't. I'm a patrol officer.

You're sure driving a nice car,
now that you're yakuza.

It was so cool, I call the traffic cops.

I don't have a choice, it's my job.

Aren't you graduating college this year?

Next year.

I see. So what're you gonna do?
Gonna be a yakuza?

Well, that's the only choice.

But I had no idea that you became a cop.

- Our classes were different
in high school after all.
- Wanna go for a drink?

- That's?
- Yeah, I bought it at Harajuku.

Ain't it cool?

Being a patrol officer is really boring.

If one person comes by to ask
for direction, that's a good day.

And I have to constantly deal with drunks.

- And dropped wallets never reappear anyway.
- Mine did.
- Eh?

I'm going out with the woman who picked it up.

She's working at Dragonsoda.

- See!
- Hmm.

Huh?

I don't even have a hint of a girl.

A Pink Lady (singing duo from the 70s) came
by as a one day Police Chief. That's about it.

Pink Lady, eh?

Cuz of the song "Inspector Pepper."

If it were between do able and not doable?

Not doable, not doable, no freaking way.

I mean we weren't even born yet!

I was imagining that it would be
more dramatic like Shibata Kyohei.

But reality is cruel.

I can now understand why
my superiors get corrupt.

- Oh damn I better go.
- Sit down! We haven't seen
each other in a while.

Do you guys deal with dr*gs or g*ns?

Hey!

Don't worry,

if you have a connection with the cops,
you can sell them without being caught.

You guys have those?

Nah, dad doesn't like them. We got none.

Really?

That's useless!

If you're yakuza,
become one f*cking sharp yakuza.

Go find something that even
Pops will be amazed by!

- So you have information regarding this?
- Oh you took the bait!

Well, I'm getting tired of
collecting debts day after day.

Most people do pay without a fuss.
So I'm also looking for a V-Cinema like story.

- If you're Shinjuku, then do you
know of the Jinbo group?
- Yeah I know of them.

Their average age is around 30 or so,
they're bloodthirsty and will do anything.

Like a bunch of Piranhas.

And their members keep increasing,
they're over thirty now.

- So what of them?
- Nothing.

Quality over quantity!

Though we are getting fewer and fewer.
But what the f*ck is that?

I'm sorry, I'll go pay the fine today.

Alright. Hey what happened to that.

Knit.

- You mean NEET?
- I know! I did it on purpose!

Are you over it?

"Over it," well, it looks like
I found something I want to do.

I see.

- Take care!
- Yeah.

- Hey make sure to get that round thing off.
- Yessir.
- Bye.

We've been waiting for you!

As usual we gauge your mood
through your laughter.

Robbers today

are getting ever more cunning.

This one is Dekigokoro, eh?

Called picking,

they can easily open double and triple locks.

It's an amazing skill.

Well, amazing skill might
not be the right words.

The robbers that appear in our stories,

they'll never be robbers
that'll make a mark in history.

Robbers that will make a mark in history,
might also not be the right choice of words.

I think I heard that somewhere.

"Hey how's it going? Are you doing this?"

"Yessir, I starting anew
and giving my best at evil."

"Good. That's my boy!"

- "So do you want to try breaking and entering?"
- "Breaking and entering?"

"You know, sneak in when no
one is home and steal something."

- "But isn't that kinda not upstanding?"
- "Idiot!

What robber is upstanding?

Just find an empty house.

The husband is out at work,

the wife is out shopping for dinner.

You enter then.

First say from the outside: "Excuse me.'"

"What if they are not out?"

"What if they are not out?" "Then just
play dumb and ask something else."

"Umm, 'What do you think of
the current Edo shogunate?'"

"You don't need to ask
anything complicated like that.

Just ask 'Is there a such and
such person around here?'

Whether they know or not, just say your
thanks and go to another house."

"What if they come back while I'm inside?"

"If they see you stealing,
there's no use running away.

- In those cases you have to give them a sob story."
- "A sob story."

"Show them everything you stole,
and tell them this while crying."

"I'm an artisan from a single parent home.

But my mother has been sick for the past
three years. I can't even go to work.

As I stayed at home to care for my mother,

we became poorer and poorer. I no longer have
the money to pay for my mother's medicine.

When I had no idea what I should do,
I just happened to pass by your house
and saw that the doors were open.

Without thinking, I"

And so he would give this
sob story while crying.

"Well if you did it without realizing it,
then what can we do.

Here's some cash for your
mom's medicine." That's the plan.

So I call from the outside.

If there's an answer, I ask if there's a so and
so. If there's no answer then I go to work.

And if they come back in the middle of it,

I say it's without thinking.

Oh this is easy.

Excuse me! Excuse me!

Excuse me!

[Door says Loincloth pub]

What is it?

Um, when will you be empty?

We're on a roll,

so I'm guessing we'll be drinking till morning!

I'll come back later.

- Get back here!
- Wait a sec!

- Thanks, but no.
- What did you say, you little punk!

Um, is there a so and so around here?

What did you say?

It's ok, I get it.

What did you get?

You make no sense!

- Boss what should we do?
- Let's do him!

I remember! I remember! I remember!

What is it?

Saigobei! Do you know of Saigobei-san?

Saigobei?

He's not here right, with a name like a weasel.

- He's here.
- Whaat?

Hey Saigobei! You got a guest!

You're Saigobei-san?

Yeap, I'm Saigobei.

- Need something?
- Um

- he told me to give you his regards.
- Who?

- Me.
- Huh?

Do him!

Without thinking! Without thinking!

Without thinking! Without thinking!

I'm terribly sorry!

Oh jeez I made a mistake.

Jinbo group has a room in the Second block

and they've kept some things stashed there.

If you know this much,
then why don't you just arrest them?

Moron, what good is that?

I can see it already, the higher
up would take all the credit.

Then what do you want to do?

Extort the Jinbo group once
we know what they're up to.

Between you and I.

- Between you and I?
- Kaneko and Ginjiro
[golden child and silver second son].

Gold and Silver?

Kin-san Gin-san!

- Golden Pavilion and the Silver Pavilion!
- Enough!

So what do you think?

I think it's the perfect opportunity for the
Ryuseikai to get rid of a rival organization.

If it were between doable and not doable,

theeeeen, doable.

Whaaat?!

- You actually went? Are you stupid?
- The f*ck!

Sorry, man, just kidding.

- So? Did you find the stuff?
- None you f*ck.

I mean the map was wrong!

What can you see?

A sushi restaurant.

If you go into the side street,
you'll find an apartment.

It's on the ground level, 101.
If you don't hurry, they might come back.

If it's wrong again, I'm going to k*ll you!

"Excuuuse me. Whoa!

This is one dirty apartment I stumbled into.

Damn there's nothing worthwhile here.

Oh man, why is there a loin
cloth hanging there?"

- Well, take it for now.
- Are you serious about this?

- Anything else?
- No, man.

Hmm?

What is this porridge?

No wonder they got nothing,
they're eating porridge.

Damn! This is great!

I know I'm hungry,
but this is too freaking good.

Wow this is good!

Damn, he eats like it really tastes great.

Crap, I'm getting hungry.

Oh no, they came back! What should I do?

Hello! Hellooo!

Hey isn't something wrong?

Where is my underwear?

Someone ate my food!

Moron! You idiot!
That's why I said to lock the door!

My food! Where is my food?!

Shh!

God forbid

Is something wrong?

Oh nothing sir!

- We just received a call
- Nice job!

- that someone strange was around
the neighbourhood.
- I haven't seen anyone.

- Have you?
- Not me.

Shall we talk about this outside?

Of course.

- We've been getting these calls a lot.
- Really?

- Has anything gone missing from your apartment?
- Oh absolutely nothing!

Huh? DVD?

What is this? I can't see jack.

What is this "Oh yes?"

What is "Oh yes?"

Oh yes.

Oh the censoring went away.

This is,

dangerous!

What!

This is the first time I see that!

What is this?

Whaat!

It's f*cking p*rn vids!

p*rn DVDs.

Who cares! It ain't dr*gs and it ain't g*ns!

I never said that they were those.

You didn't say it,

but in that conversation,
it had to be dr*gs or g*ns!

Idiot, you're shouting

Sorry.

So basically they are importing foreign p*rn,

dubbing them en masse and then selling them.

Wasn't this censored for
the first 2 minutes or so?

Yeah it was. I wasn't paying attention,
and then the genitals jumped into my eyes.

That's how they're trying to fool the police.

Anyway, we got the goods.

Now it's time for you and
me to extort the Jinbo group.

You and me?

- Gold and Silver?
- That's right, Kin-san, Gin-sin.

Enough!

I can't be bothered with minor sh*t like this.

It's not here! My loin cloth
that was here is not here!

What kind of a lame robber came
to b*at down a place like mine?

Wait a sec.

The proprietor has been asking for the charge.

This is a great excuse. I'll just tell him that
my charge was stolen. Then he can't ask for it.

Alright, time to get the proprietor.

Wait, wait a sec.

What's a proprietor?

- A landlord.
- Oh a landlord.

- Then the charge is?
- Rent.

Fucker, then just say so from the beginning!

- Pretending to be smart!
- I don't know!

- But what is this? What is this about?
- Alright fine, just continue!

Um, I'm supposed to be in the middle of a date.

Dates that I know of aren't
done in shitty places like this.

What the f*ck is this place?

I've never seen a place like this,
even on Zenigata Kintaro
[TV show about people living as cheaply as they can]

And they live here with three people!
Isn't that hilarious?

Is that for real?

And as we're warmed up, go ahead, Ryu-chan!

Why do I have to do Rakugo in front of
my girlfriend and her ex-boyfriend?

Ex-boyfriend!

I've never went out with Tora-chan.

- Yeah, we only just did it twice.
- May I continue!?

Oh yeah, go ahead, I just didn't get the
proprietor and the charge, so I couldn't

"Proprietor! Proprietor! I've been robbed!
Robber! Proprietor!

Robber proprietor!"

What is it Hachi?
Shouting "robber proprietor?"

It's terrible! I've been robbed!

- What? Did he leave something behind?
- I've been robbed!

Of the charge!

Huh?

Not just the charge!

Everything was stolen!

I see.

- Well then, tell me each one.
- What?

You've been robbed of everything right?

We need to report this to the government.

- Well, um, don't worry about that.
- No, no, you can't leave it at that.

If you report this to the government,
you might get reimbursement.

And some of your goods might come back.

- They'll give them to me?
- They might give them to you.

I see.

That's great.

Then one loin cloth please.

"I can't report that to the government!"

"How about a futon then?"

"He robbed a big thing then."

"What kind of a futon?"

"Umm, what kind of futon do
you have, Mr. Proprietor?"

"Ours is a quality futon,
it's got a Chinese floral pattern."

"Then mine was a quality futon,
it had a Chinese floral pattern!"

"You don't have to copy me!"

"Then what about the other side?"

- "It's a dead end?"
- "Not the other side of this alley!

The other side of the futon."

"How about yours?"

"Ours is a strong and warm, so it's good to
sleep in, flower colored [indigo] cotton."

"Then mine was also a strong and warm, so it's
good to sleep in, flower colored [indigo] cotton."

"I see. What else?"

- "And a bare belt."
- "What the heck is a bare belt?

What you mean

a Hakata belt?

That's a good belt.

What kind was it?"

"The front had a Chinese floral pattern and
the reverse was a flower colored cotton."

"Hey, there is no reverse to a belt."

"It's strong and warm, so you never get cold."

"Ok, what else was stolen?"

- "One sword."
- "A sword?"

"That's right, the reverse was
a flower colored cotton."

Ok that's enough. That's good.

What happened Kotora?

You're doing well this time.

Don't you think so Donta?

Whoa! It was so good, I fell asleep a bit.

- Kotora, you've gotten better!
- Hehehe, thank you very much.

So who did you learn this from?

Huh?

Well that was "Without thinking"

but, it's slightly different from mine.

Stealing a story about robbers.

You can't say you did this "without thinking!"

Robbing people blind, Belinda, Carlyle, Robert.

Tell me honestly.

Who did you learn it from?

- Um, Ryu, Ryu, Ryuji.
- You, what are you

No, no it's not his fault.

I asked him to teach me this one.

Kotora,

in Rakugo you can't learn
from people left and right.

Do you know why?

Depending on who tells the story, there are
quirks and emphases that's different.

Sometimes, it's not just the introduction,
even the punch line can be different.

Don-chan?

Father, where are you going?

Kotora,

come with me.

- Hey Ryu-chan.
- Yes?

Do you think Tora-chan did well?

I dunno.

Don't worry.

I'm sure Tora-chan did well.

- Liu-san,
- What is it Ryu-chan?

did you come from China just
to prevent me from having sex?

Oh stop please!

- Hey Master?
- Hmm?

Are you angry Master?

I told you I won't get mad.

- I see.
- Mm.

I couldn't say this in front of my apprentices,

but it's a good thing to want to get better.

We'll ignore Ryuji's abilities for now.

- So why are we at a stripping joint?
- Think of it as an after class lesson.

To tell you the truth,

"Without thinking" has
two different punch lines.

What?

Yeah. In one the robber that was hiding
under the house gets out and says:

"Hey, what are you talking about.
I've been listening to your lies,
what is this flower colored cotton!

This house doesn't even house a rotten jacket,

let alone a Chinese floral pattern!"

- "Hey! You must be the robber."
- "Oh crap! That's right, that's right,
I'm the robber.

But my mother has been sick
for three years now,

so I entered without thinking.

And I need to cry here, whoops"

"I see that you're an amateur robber, eh?

I guess it can't be helped
if you did it without thinking.

And Hachi,

you're also to blame too.

Why did you make me write such lies?"

"Oh, um, um, I did it without thinking myself"

So that's pattern A.

Here's pattern B.

"so I entered without thinking.

And I need to cry here, whoops"

"I see that you're an amateur robber, eh?"

So it's the same up till here.

- "Where did you enter from?"
- "Um,

- I entered from the reverse."
- "The reverse?

What reverse?"

"The reverse, from the flower colored cotton."

- Oh so you like this one more?
- Well that's not it.

I see,

well I actually

like this punch line more.

- But I don't put it on stage.
- Why not?

Because it's the punch line
that Ken-chan used to do.

- Ken-chan?
- Your organization's boss,

Nakatani Ken-chan.

We were even

oh 30 years ago.

on this stage once, together,

What?

Yup, I complained that only
doing classics wasn't good,

and convinced Ken-chan to come here
to do a skit. As a part-time job.

- What do you mean you haven't?
- I haven't.
- Here we go, [sings]

Hey! What are you doing?
I'm trying to do my job here.

Can you do that please?

- Do what?
- You know, walk straight.

Oh I need to walk straight.
I'm a yakuza, you know,

- I've never walked straight in my life.
- Just go!

- Go!
- Fine!

See!

Wait!

[voice over narration] we were pretty popular
back then. Our duo name was Nakayanaka.

That sounds like Ogiyahagi
[a current comic duo].

Oh I'm sorry.

And if I hadn't gotten carried away
and done something stupid,

Ken-chan might still be a comedian.

- Something stupid? What did you do?
- Yes...

Ken-chan doesn't look like it,
but he hates to lose.

While we were a duo,
I kept getting the laughter.

He probably didn't like that.

So he suddenly started to do
some things that weren't in the skit.

If you insist on not walking straight,
then I have an idea as well.

What?

- If you do impersonations, I'll let you go.
- Ken-chan?

A panda. An impersonation
of a panda at the Ueno zoo.

He probably wanted to see me in a bind,

but instead,

I got on a roll and everything
I did brought laughter.

I think that was one of the reasons
why Ken-chan gave up on comedy.

Next time I saw him, he'd already
made a name for himself in Shinjuku.

I think I did something terrible.

It was such a waste, Ken-chan.

He probably just convinced
himself that he had no talent.

But then without that,
Ken-chan wouldn't have become yakuza.

Then I wouldn't be able to meet you.

That might be.

Kotora, that's why

you can never forget the feelings of gratitude
when you quit the yakuza. Ok? Right.

What you have here is thanks to Ken-chan, ok?

So when you get on stage,
think that you're on stage

on behalf of Ken-chan. Ok?

- Yeah.
- Mm.

Sorry about that.
It ended being a sad story, eh?

While I was listening to "Without thinking"
I just happened to remember all this.

I guess I just did this "without thinking."

- Are you stupid?
- What did you say!

So both Pops and Master,

you were like Tiger and Dragon, right?

Nothing that good.

More like Flea and Louse.

- I'm telling you, I can't go today.
- What the f*ck? You don't
have a single customer!

- I'll go tomorrow, tomorrow!
- It has to be today!

Donkichi is going on a honeymoon trip

so I'm going to be appear
as the second to last act.

- And that's not all.
- What?

A TV crew is coming.

Listen up!

Just because the TV crew is coming,

- don't get too, too nervous.
- Yes.

- Be like your usual self. Your usual self ok?
- Yes.

- Want me to draw your eyebrows, father?
- Please!

Me too!

Apparently there's a Rakugo fad, and the cameras
are coming for the first time in ten years or so.
So everyone is trying to do their best.

- Heh. I can't be bothered by this.
- What is it?

Hey it's today at 3pm you better f*cking come!

What is it? What? Ow, let me go.

Have you seen Gingin lately?

Not for the past few days,
what's up with Ginjiro?

What should I do?

Should I tell him?

What?

What's this crap?!
I can't believe you're watching this!

- Calm down!
- You have me! You have me!
And why do you have to watch p*rn?!

That's not it! That's not it!
You got it wrong!

This is an important, ow, wait a sec

It's important evidence!
It's important evidence!

It's important evidence!

- Evidence!
- There's an organization called
the Jinbo group, ok?

And they're selling dr*gs and g*ns and

this is probably

some sort of camouflage.

There probably selling dr*gs in these cases.

Are you serious?

That's why you can't tell this to anyone.

Not to dad or to Aniki.

This is a secret between the two of us.

Man that was painful, you!

According to Gingin, he already has most
of the evidence necessary to corner them.

And all he needs to do is to extort
the Jinbo group to get hush money.

That moron, what is he thinking?

That's exactly it. Gingin's not the type
to do something big like that.

He's stupid, and his hair style is odd,

- so I got scared and called the cops.
- Whaat?!

- Did something happen?
- We're searching the apartment.

There's been an anonymous tip. The Jinbo group
is supposed to be stashing away speed and g*ns.

Seriously?

What the f*ck is going on?

Hey?

How did they find out?

I'm sorry!

To tell you the truth,
a few days ago a cop came by.

- And he said that a suspicious man
was lurking in the...
- A suspicious man?

- Um, we didn't see him but,
- Shh!

Hello?

Oh hi.

You bastard, forget "hi."
I heard everything from Lisa.

Oh that story. It's a lie.

It's over too.

Lisa almost caught me w*nk*ng so I had to lie.

Huh? Right now?

I'm at lunch!

Oh!

Hey Ginjiro!

Ginjiro!

Yo! We've been waiting for you!

Hello! I'm Jumptei Jump,

my favorites in track and field
are jumping competitions.

It's only Shonen Jump
[the manga magazine].

Heeey! Where is Kotora?!

How are you educating your younguns?

Send someone over who can
settle things right now.

Ginjiro! What are they doing to him?

- Let's go Yamazaki.
- Yessir.

Wait, I'm coming with you.

They're only thugs, you don't need to go Pops.

Shut the f*ck up!
What parent doesn't care for his son!

He's my apprentice.

Tora.

- This is Yamazaki.
- Not "this is Yamazaki!"

- What about your performance?
Your performance!
- I'm sorry.

- I'll be a bit late.
- Why are you using that voice?

Kotora, no one can replace you!

Kotora, where are you?
What are you doing?

Hurry and come over here!
Everyone is waiting!

- Sayuri-chan
- Kotora what are you doing?
Hello! Hello! Hello!

- What is it?
- Hello!?

The punch line seems to be good.

[Donbei motioning: Stretch it out, stretch it out]
Then one last song.
Of course being Van Halen's "Jump!"

I've had enough of Jump.

Kotatsu!

That's rare, I haven't seen you here in ages!

- Your voice is too loud!
- Tacchan, where is Tora-chan?

He hasn't shown up yet.

You ready for this Tora?

Yessir.

He's going to be done.
Jumptei is going to be done.

I guess there's no choice, I'll go.

- Hey Dunburi,
- Yes!

go buy some clippers and some piping hot Oden.

- I better go.
- Dooon.

No, you can't go. If you go
then Kotora will be the final act.

- Who said that I'll do Rakugo.
- Huh?

I'm not giving him the final act,
no matter what.

Dad?

Whaaat?

Wow, he's singing!

Don-chan.

I guess I have no choice.

I sang. I sang to my fullest.

The audience is dead quiet.

That felt good.
Tsuru-chan you should sing too.

Oh no, I couldn't possibly.

- Where is Kotora?
- He's not here yet.

The hell is he doing?

He's excommunicated! Excommunicated!

Where are the clippers and the oden?
Did you get them?

- I didn't go buy them.
- Dooon.

- Uum.
- What is it?

Someone's talking on stage.

What?!

Stewardesses must be bored with their work
saying the same thing over and over.

"Here is your hand towel."
"Here is your hand towel."
"Here is your hand towel."

Then she must have seen my face,

"Here is your wash cloth."

"I'll do a wash down."

Ken-chan!

Who is that?

He's a genius from western Japan.

Listen carefully and learn from him.

And because I look like this,
even just passing by, people think:

"Oh he must be from that world."

So when I walk by,

I can sense that they're doing
something behind my back.

So I look back. And one of them
was doing this [a yakuza scar].

And since I saw that moment when
he was doing this, he did this next.

He's funny, but he's not for television.

Kotora!

I'm sorry. I'm terribly sorry for being late.

Kotora! What happened?
Who did this to you?

- Someone, get me my kimono.
- Get his kimono.

- You're going to get on stage with that face?
- Yeah,

though sitting properly might be hard.

It's TV, TV.

Shut the f*ck up!

Someone take my belt off.

- Ah ok, here.
- Shoes, shoes.

And last time when I was on the b*llet train.

When you get on the b*llet train,

Oh today, this is it for me. I'll tell
this story when I am up here again.

I'm sorry for being late.

Idiot,

I've only spoke the introduction.

Ken-chan,

thank you.

Thank you very much.

Filling in for his men is the duty of a boss.

Hurry up and come out!

Tora-chan!

What the? A boxer after a match?

I'm sorry, I fell back there.

Young people today don't know words.

If you ask something, they respond
with "doable or not doable."
I don't get these sleepy comments.

Tiger, Tiger, Nemutiger .

I guess that was a miss.

A son of a yakuza that wants
to make a name for himself.

Oh by the way, this is the main story.

So this son, decided to work with this devious
runt from the magistrate's office,

and went into an apartment
of an enemy organization.

This act without thinking,
was the beginning of the tragedy.

This is going to be "Without thinking."

They thought they might find
some really dangerous treasure,

- but what they found was a whole
bunch of silver discs.
- What is this?

But he did break in,
so he decided to steal one.

It turns out that this disc had
housed naked blonde bombshells.

What they used to call
"erotic prints" [shunga].

Well this too was forbidden by the shogunate,

but that alone wasn't interesting.

So he spread rumors of dr*gs and g*ns.

Unfortunately his enemies
heard of this and caught him.

Let's cut your pinky off.

The standard way to take
responsibility, 2nd [boss].

The f*ck is that face?

You started this one!

Ra, raise your hands!

I, I'm from the the Shin,
Shinjuku police department.

Out of my way.

Who the f*ck are you?!

Two men who can settle things.

Aniki.

- Hand over bocchan to us.
- Huh?

I said to f*cking hand him over!

Wh, whoa, it's like the V-Cinemas!

There were twenty of them,
and we had only two.

You might think that there's no chance.
But these two had gone through hell and back,

it was as if they relieved all of
their stress in that one fight.

Oh, it wasn't me.

Mostly by the work of
the lieutenant [wakagashira]

they rescued the 2nd [boss] and the group that
was selling the erotic prints was arrested.

- Are you ok?
- I ain't ok, you moron!

I have an important performance after this.

Man the real thing is amazing.

- I was just scared.
- Hey what's your name?

- It's Kaneko, sir!
- Hey Kaneko,

Yessir,

if you want to make a name for yourself,
don't rely on other people.

Why did you get our important
2nd [boss] involved in this?

- How should I say this?
- Stop that "how should I say this?" sh*t!

Sorry sir!

I did it without thinking.

Or rather I thought it was doable.

Hey Ginjiro!

Yessir.

If you don't know what you want to do,
just follow me for now.

Don't try to act cool and do something that
doesn't suit you like, dr*gs or g*ns.
Alright, moron?

Sorry sir.

I did it without thinking.

Or rather, I thought it was doable too.

Anyway, is this legit or
do I have to watch its reverse?

"The reverse, in flower colored cotton."

Yo! Go to the hospital!

Here we go, the pizza toast.

So you used it, eh?
The flower colored cotton.

- Well, yes.
- Ryuji came to see you right?

- Did he say anything?
- I haven't talked to him yet.

- Oh, this is this month's tuition.
- Thank you.

There it is, there it is.

What the f*ck is this?

Oh it's nothing.

- Hey!
- I already gave it to you!

- The f*ck!
- Oh so you can spot a lie!

- Of course I can!
- I'm sorry! Here you go, this month's payment.

Oh and by the way,
that French is also a lie.

What! Is everything a lie?!

It was fun.

There was singing, yakuza, v*olence,
it was like a circus.

- Fucker, are you praising me or not?
- I'm praising you.

The stage has changed a lot
in the time that I wasn't there.

- Or maybe you changed it.
- Huh?

Dad would have never sang in the past.

If it's that kind of a stage,

I felt like maybe I should get up there.

Though I really don't want to be
your younger apprentice sibling.

What is it?

That's...

Yasuo...
