GUDETAMA: AN EGGCELLENT ADVENTURE

I wonder where Mommy's QR code went.

All right!

Homestretch. Let's hammer out
the project details.

What? We've been working all night.

Nighty-night.

I feel you.

Drink this once you wake up.

I'm going home.

Hey, wait, hold on!

You can't leave!
The presentation's tomorrow!

Did you trick me
by giving me some random egg

just so you can get this over with?

Oh, please. This is Gude, for sure.

Then, tell me.

How will I be able to see Gude as Gude?

In the end,

you can only live in the world you see.

Gude is saying
you'll never be able to see them.

I don't think Gude likes you.

Gude said that?

Without a doubt.

Master Gude!

Please. I'll massage your shoulders.

That's the butt.

Pardon me. Then...

How about here?

Still the butt.

Oops. Then, here?

Again, the butt.

So it's all butt?
Where are the shoulders?

Sheesh! What do I have to do to see Gude?!

How about you give up and just rest?

Why don't you give up and get some rest?

"Give up and rest"?

If I do that, I'll be on the fast track
to becoming a failure.

I see.

I can't see Gude...

because I'm not trying hard enough.

How's this?

Or this?

How about this?

Well?

Please!

I'm tired from just watching you.

I get it now.

Oh yeah?

This is just a raw egg.

I was imagining things the other day.

How could I mistake
a raw egg for a living creature?

My mind must be getting soft-boiled.

You just dissed me.

Hello. How's work coming along?

Mr. Shimada! Good to see you.

Suzuki's been calling this raw egg "Gude."

Gude!

What?

You got some soy sauce? How nice.

Mr. Shimada, you can see Gude?

Huh? I can always see them.

So Mr. Shimada's mind is also soft...

What are you doing here, Gude?

Searching for my mother?

Really?

That's perfect for a TV show!

What?

Such courage in a small body!

-How brave!
-What? What did Gude say?

They're looking for their mother.

That does sound perfect for TV.

Does that mean Gude is really real?

Gude, if I may!

Please answer my question.

Where exactly did you come from?

I want another one.

It seems Gude wants another.

"Another"? As in "another planet"?

So you're an alien?

Why did you come to Earth?

My fate in life is to be eaten.

To be eaten, it seems.

So, to have humans ingest them
and enter the body.

What happens to a human who ingests them?

Become nutrients maybe?

They said, "Become nutrients."

So they use people as nutrients
to grow inside the human body?

You said you're searching for your mother.

What did you mean?

Huh?

I got sucked into it
by someone troublesome.

They were sucked into trouble.

Trouble?

A conflict between aliens?

This is incredible!

Thank you for coming today.
We understand you're busy.

PRODUCED BY
TV WORKS/DIRECTOR INOUE

This is a project that will undeniably
take Japan... no, the world by storm...

Sorry, but I have a conference
in half an hour.

Can you get on with it?

Yes! I'll begin the presentation now.

This is Gude, a visitor from space.

-Gude, gude...
-Gude, gude...

When people ingest them,

they use the human body as a host
and a source of nutrients.

They eventually gain control over
the hosts, turning them into Gude-humans.

Gude.

Their Earth invasion plan was flawless.

However!

A conflict with other aliens
separated them from their mother!

Will there be an emotional reunion?

Will they fulfill
their dream of invading Earth?!

And this is Gude!

First of all, take that egg away.

So he's one of them.

I wonder if Mr. Inoue is okay.

What are you going to do now, Gude?

What a drag.

Gudetama!

Huh?

I knew you'd be here!

Thank goodness!

Sorry I couldn't come right away.

I wanted to come earlier, but...

I lost Mommy's QR code.

It's fine.

We don't know
if we came from a chicken egg anyway.

You keep saying that.

There it is!

Chalazas are so handy.

Um, what's wrong?

Hey, can you read this?

Whoa.

OUR EGG'S BACKSTORY

Traceability, huh?

Trace?

We can find where your mother is.

Does it say anything about Mommy?

Her name is Julia.

Do you want me to call the farm and ask?

Yes!

Julia, huh? What a pretty name!

What? Seriously?

They said your mom was already sent
to the chicken farm's restaurant.

-What?
-So she's been eaten.

But there's still a chance.

I worked so hard.

In the end,
there was no such thing as a moving egg.

Mr. Inoue.

Yo!

A lazy... moving egg!

So you finally see me.

Right now, we need to get to that farm.

You found Gude's mother?

Yes.

Then, I'll go.

Now that I can see Gude.

What a strange turn of events.

Please make sure
you get them there by morning.

Got it! I'll get them there,
no matter what!

Don't put too much effort into it.

Then, please take this.

What?

We're here.
