05x07 - Rage Mission

[bunniefuu]

Come on, pull yourself together.

At least eat a banana.

Don't worry about what Jiro said.

No.

He's right.

When he offered the money,
a voice inside me said,

"This money would make my life easier."

"Now I can focus on my studies."

I'm such a loser!

A loser!

A total loser!

I'm a hopeless loser!

I already know that.

Let's just hold on
to your father's money for now.

We'll return it some other day.

Okay?

Yeah.

Well then, I'm off to work.

Make sure you eat, okay?

Yeah.

Do the laundry and shopping, okay?

Yeah.

Alright, see you later.

I'm home.

Did you just sit there all day?

Yeah.

You never fail to disappoint.

Loser.

RAGE

AGGRETSUKO

Ugh, what a drag.

I could've bought a TV dinner
if I were eating alone.

RETSUKO

Hello?

Why didn't you pick up right away?!

Well, my mouth was full of banana.

I'm on my way home from the store.

The usual route.

I think someone's following me.

Once I turn that corner,

I'll run for it!

Bring it!

Huh?!

Now wait a second!

Take this!

And this!

I said wait a second!

Aggretsuko!

That's you, right?

Take that!

Ouch!

That hurts, you little brat!

Oh, no, I'm not mad.

Not mad at all.

Now where are my manners?

Allow me to introduce myself.

I am…

Hold it right there,

you filthy stalker!

"Leader of the Party of Rage

and House of Representatives member,
Masuo Ikari."

House of Representatives?

It's true, so don't look at me like that.

You've seen me on TV, right?

I don't watch TV.

What about politics?

Not interested.

I'm frankly disappointed
you've never heard of me.

On the other hand, I know all about you.

Aggretsuko!

A symbol of rage
that has taken the internet by storm!

What is rage?!

It's the sparks that fly when a soul
clashes with the world around it!

A flash of light in the darkness.

The sparks light a fire,
illuminating the way to a better future.

The Party of Rage
represents the anger of the people!

Our party used to hold 30 seats
in the lower and upper houses.

But our popularity has declined,

and now we only have one seat.

RAGE

But I refuse to give up!

We must not let the fire of rage die out!

We need you!

Only you can help rebuild our party!

I'd like you to join our party

and run in the next election.

Together, we can do it.

We'll change the future of this country!

Prime Minister!

Are you listening?!

I asked you a question, damn it!

Please refrain from swearing.

"Damn" isn't a swear word!

I'm just asking a question--

Been a while since I lost it.

You've lost it for a while now.

He really is a member
of the National Diet.

Yeah.

He did look familiar to me.

And look, he's pretty famous online.

He's a total meme though.

BEEN A WHILE SINCE I LOST IT

What are you doing?

Please!

Run in the election with us!

No, thank you.

Retsuko!

Please!

Run in the election!

With us!

What's your problem?!

Can I keep my current job
if I run in the election?

You can't.

So I'm out of a job if I lose, right?

That's correct.

Why would I take that risk?!

Progress is all about taking risks!

Why are you trying to ruin my life?

What gives you the right?

I will

never run in the election!

Oh wow, so he really wasn't a stalker?

Now I feel bad for him.

So? You gonna run?

Of course not.

He wouldn't take a hint,
so I had to shut him down.

It'll never work.

Besides, I'm not old enough.

How so?

Minimum age is 25 years old.

What, are you trying to make me run?

Well, you know,

you said you'd never be the lead singer
of OTM, but you did it anyway.

You're like a magnet, you know.

A magnet for what?

Attention.

I think you mean "trouble."

That too.

-Haidee!
-Haidee!

Huh? Are you talking to me?

So we decided…

…to call you…

"…Haidee" from now on.

-Aw, Haidee, you blushing?
-Aw, Haidee, you blushing?

Uh, sure…

How'd it go with the persimmons?

-Huh?
-Did your girlfriend like them?

Oh.

She was over the moon.

She couldn't stop eating them.

Really? That's great.

-Good for you.
-Nice.

-I'm so happy to hear that.
-Yeah.

You should take some more.

-Right?
-Right?

-How about it, Haidee?
-How about it, Haidee?

Huh?

They're in my car.

Listen…

I know. I'm sorry, okay?

It's fine.

I'll make sure you can't tell
there's persimmon in the curry.

Well, now I know!

During the plenary session this afternoon,

the Speaker announced the dissolution
of the House of Representatives.

Per Article Seven
of the Constitution of Japan,

the House of Representatives
is now dissolved.

Hooray!

-Hooray!
-Hooray!

Hooray!

-Hooray!
-Hooray!

Hooray!

-Hooray!
-Hooray!

All those people cheering
just lost their jobs, right?

What are they cheering for?

You know, if you'd become
your dad's secretary like Jiro,

you might've been
sitting there among them.

What? No way.

And we probably wouldn't be here
eating curry together.

I guess so.

So Ikari didn't ambush you today?

Nope.

I think he's finally given up.

I see.

I don't need a life full of drama.

All I want
is a simple, quiet life with you.

Per Article Seven
of the Constitution of Japan,

the House of Representatives
is now dissolved.

-Hooray!
-Hooray!

Hooray!

-Hooray!
-Hooray!

Hooray!

BOSS att*ck

Ugh, the bag's digging into my fingers.

Yeah, the rice is heavy.

Would be nice to have a car for this.

Yeah, that would be nice.

We could move to a place
with parking once you find a job.

Uh…

It's gonna be expensive.

And it's not like we need a car every day.

Still, a car sounds nice.

Toss the heavy bags in,

and vroom, off we go!

Huh?

Heya, Retsuko.

Manaka?!

What's this?

What's going on?

A friend called in a favor.

A…

A friend?

What is rage?!

It's the sparks that fly
when we clash with the world!

-Yeah!
-Yeah!

A flash of light in the darkness!

-Yeah!
-Yeah!

The Queen of Rage
will show us the way to the future!

Here's our candidate, Aggretsuko!

-Yeah!
-Yeah!

It's really her!

Thank you for coming today,
all you fearless warriors!

-Yeah!
-Yeah!

Want to know why we're here tonight?

-Yeah!
-Yeah!

Want to know our next target?

-Yeah!
-Yeah!

This is Aggretsuko's next target.

Behold!

Huh?

The government?!

For real?

What's she gonna do there?

And here's the campaign poster!

AGGRETSUKO

-Retsuko!
-Retsuko!

Driver.

Make a right.

Then keep straight.

You got it.

-Retsuko!
-Retsuko!

-Retsuko!
-Retsuko!

Accept your destiny.

We only announced this rally two days ago,
but look at the size of the crowd.

Can you see them?

Can you see all the people

who couldn't make it here tonight?

The voiceless voters suffering in silence,

eagerly waiting for you
to express their anger for them?

They're all counting on you.

Let your anger serve a greater purpose.

Rage not for yourself,
but for all those who need you!

Retsuko!

Behold!

Aggretsuko has agreed to help us!

-Retsuko!
-Retsuko!

-Our candidate!
-Our candidate!

-Retsuko!
-Retsuko!

CANDIDATE

If you want her to do something,
get everyone in on it.

She'll cave eventually.

A goody-two-shoes like her
always tries to please everyone.

AGGRETSUKO

We shall fight under her banner!

You are all witnesses

to the birth of a new legend!

AGGRETSUKO
