01x01 - Grandpa and Grandma and the Sports Festival

[bunniefuu]

Say, Grandma.

Anything you wanna do

if you turned young again?

That's so out of the blue, Grandpa.

We were poor as a young couple,

couldn't even get us a honeymoon trip

Sorry about that.

That's fine, Grandpa.

Just us talking nonchalantly like this

is more than enough for me.

By the way, the apple tree we planted

after we got married should be here somewhere.

We planted it to celebrate our wedding.

It's been over 60 years now, eh

The one who once split during a typhoon.

Eh, which one, again?

Oh, 'tis the one.

It snapped in the middle

during Typhoon Mireille.

I thought it was done for.

Such is the power of nature.

What's wrong, Grandma?

Grandpa, look at that.

A golden apple

We were so poor and busy,

as we got older

Yet, Grandma still remained by my side.

I'm sure she must have

a lot she wanted to do

She must want to wear her favourite

clothes and stroll around town

I'm sorry

G-G-Grandma!

Ine, wake up!

I'm turning young again!

G-Grandpa

Grandpa?

We're going on a honeymoon trip, Grandma!

A STORY ABOUT A GRANDPA AND GRANDMA

WHO RETURNED BACK TO THEIR YOUTH

EPISODE 1: GRANDPA AND GRANDMA

AND SPORTS FESTIVAL

Grandpa and Grandma and Sports Festival.

Grandpa, Grandma, you there?

There you are.

Oh, Mino.

What's up?

Been a while.

Have you been well?

It's me, Grandpa Shozo.

And Grandma Ine.

No, no, no!

You look good in that hair,

so don't cut it, Grandpa!

My bangs are in the way, though

But I guess I should do

what my granddaughter told me.

Grandma, she's never

been this spoiled before.

Is that so?

Hey, Grandma.

Yes?

Can I take Grandpa for me?

No can do.

Dad.

Grandpa and Grandma

turned young again.

Huh?

What are you even saying, MIno?

DO THE HANDSOME GRAVURE IDOL POSE!

DO THE HANDSOME GRAVURE IDOL POSE!

Do the handsome gravure idol pose!

DO THE HANDSOME GRAVURE IDOL POSE!

Shozo and Ine have been

absent these days

Ine just hurt her body, after all.

I guess it's just age.

It's kinda lonely to not be able to see

the mandarin luck couple again

in this park

Just as I was thinking of that

Perfect shot! All in one hit!

What's up with that appearance?

LOVE SHOZO

LOVE SHOZO

W-Will this do?

First time I seen blud lookin' like that.

Must be what they call a "stan".

Never thought those two

would turn young again.

Well, we sure can't expect young girls

flocking 'round us anymore.

Not with our faces.

Mr. Kokichi, Mr. Matsunosuke.

Care for a cuppa?

Mrs. Ine Thank you

My bad, Mrs. Ine!

It's fine.

Let me wipe it for you.

Gosh, how careless of ya.

I'll get a towel, so stay there.

SYSTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURE 300

I think I'm havin' a heart attack

SYSTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURE 300

Me too

SYSTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURE 300

SHOZO

I can't afford to leave this house.

Pops, listen to me.

It can't hurt to stay with

my family in my house!

Even if my son asks me,

I still won't budge.

But both your bodies are

at their limits!

I'm just worried of you two

Our ancestors have protected

this land for hundreds of years.

I get where you're coming from,

but I can't just abandon this legacy.

Sorry about this, Kaede.

Don't worry about me.

How about you?

Oh, me? I'm fine.

As long as I can stay by his side,

anything will do.

THE NEXT DAY

THE NEXT DAY

Mom.

I brought the ingredients

you asked the other day.

Mom sure is super experienced.

Nothing can disturb

the love between the couple

Oh, welcome, Kaede.

Grandma's at a community centre

meeting right now.

Well, sorry about this.

I thought you already knew

Me too.

I'm a little distraught

Let me wash my hands.

Sure.

Never expected Dad to be

that handsome

Wh-Wh-What do I do?!

Calm down, Kaede!

I need to tell Yoshiaki about this!

What's wrong, Mrs. Ine?

You look pale.

No

HUNCH EX

I just have a bad feeling

HUNCH EX

LIKE MOTHER LIKE DAUGHTER

FELLOW HANDSOME IDOL OTAKUS

I still can't believe it even now

I suppose you can't.

So that's what you meant by playing

boyfriend and girlfriend with Grandpa.

I mean, unlike you, he's so kind

He got the vibe, too.

It was truly heaven on earth, so

Kaede!

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

I wanted to have you see them first

since you'd get confused.

See, I just told you now, didn't I?

Secret Technique: Grandpa Barrier!

Now, now, Mino.

You're gettin' too clingy.

Hey, Mino! Granddaughter x Grandpa

is forbidden even in fiction!

Whatcha on about, Kaede?

Oh, this much won't hurt, come on!

No, you can't!

Dad's here too!

My heart's yours and yours only, Grandma!

Let's talk later, Grandpa.

We'll go home for now.

I'll tell Takahiro and the others.

I see. Come again soon.

Yoshiaki, are you doing okay at work?

I'm fine, really.

Don't worry about me.

No one would praise you

once you've grown up.

You've done well.

I'll come visit again.

Grandma, pat me too.

Sure, sure.

Yer a good kid, Mino.

Hey, we're going home.

We have a full house of pretty girls.

YOU'LL DO ENOUGH JUST BY SEEING ME

YOU'LL DO ENOUGH JUST BY SEEING ME

You'll do enough just by seeing me.

INTER-TOWN SPORTS FESTIVAL DAY

SOUTH TOWN

NEIGHBOURHOOD ASSOCIATION

This year

I heard the South Town could barely participate

with all the members above 50

This surely

is gonna be a total win for us North Town.

NORTH TOWN COUNCIL PRESIDENT HEISUKE IGARASHI

is gonna be a total win for us North Town.

NORTH TOWN HIGH SECOND YEAR,

SOCCER CLUB ACE SHOTA IGARASHI

You're not asking me to get serious

against old geezers, are you?

NORTH TOWN HIGH THIRD YEAR,

NORTH TOWN HIGH THIRD YEAR,

If you run at top speed,

BASEBALL CLUB CAPTAIN DAIKI IGARASHI

it'll be more than a lap gap, so don't.

And, well, here's how it goes.

My grandsons will be up against you.

Well, I never think this will be

a proper game, either.

Let's just have fun.

SOUTH TOWN COUNCIL PRESIDENT SANO

SOUTH TOWN COUNCIL PRESIDENT SANO

Actually, we have a trump card this year.

Oh, who's that?

They are Mr. and Mrs. Saito,

the apple farmers!

The Saitos? You mean Shozo?

You sure say bad jokes sometimes.

Oh, if it isn't Mr. Igarashi from up north!

RUMBLE

Hello! We're Saito!

Are you Mr. Saito's grandkids?

No, it's me, Saito.

BUFFED UP

BUFFED UP

Buffed up.

BUFFED UP

SOUTH VS NORTH TUG OF w*r

Now, for the tug of w*r game!

Who will win the game?!

No way I can't believe

Even though we and the supposedly

strong Grandpa are all here

The South are holding up,

but they're getting dragged little by little!

We'll lose at this rate!

That's too embarrassing!

We can just support them like normal.

Just for once, Ine.

They can win if you do this.

G-Grandpa and the g*ng

Do your best!

The South wins!

SOUTH TOWN NEIGHBOURHOOD ASSOCIATION

SOUTH TOWN NEIGHBOURHOOD ASSOCIATION

The guys in this town sure are simpletons.

Such humiliation

SO GRANDPA LIKES STUFF LIKE THIS

SO GRANDPA LIKES STUFF LIKE THIS

So Grandpa likes stuff like this

Go for it, Daiki, Shota!

Let's make up for the tug of w*r, Shota!

You don't have to tell me!

That's the Igarashi brothers for ya!

Even if they falter a bit, they cover it up

with their brotherhood and athleticism!

Good, just keep running like that.

They're brothers who have been working

out together for over a decade.

They know each other's

body habits and rhythms!

Sorry, we're late by half a lap

Don't let us down, anchor!

All right, we've come so far!

Now for the winning run!

BRRRRR

What?!

What the heeeeell?!

The South's anchor runners, the Saitos,

aren't yelling at all!

It's hard to believe

their legs are tied together!

We've been together

for about 70 years now.

I can tell her movements

like the back of my hand.

Grandpa is matchin' his pace with mine.

Feels good.

I wanna keep runnin' like this!

THOOM

THREE-LEGGED RACE OF LIFE

SOUTH TOWN NEIGHBOURHOOD ASSOCIATION

Amazing!

SOUTH TOWN NEIGHBOURHOOD ASSOCIATION

She's not even looking at the basket!

The Saitos are the MVPs!

The South wins tremendously!

GLOOM

GLOOM

So

GLOOM

I guess we're just too ignorant of the world

GLOOM

If I can't even win this

countryside competition,

going to Koshien is but a distant dream

Darn

You made a mockery

of my adorable grandsons

Shozo You not only

stole Ine 70 years ago,

but also my grandsons' smiles!

Don't dwell on it!

We still have next year!

Mr. Heisuke.

Sorry about earlier

Oh, it's you, Ine.

You sure you don't want to be near Shozo?

Well, he's beyond my reach now.

He's gettin' too famous.

He's about to explode his belly.

YAY YAY

He's about to explode his belly.

How dare he

I made this for everyone to eat, though.

If you'd like, you can have it.

I see It's been 3 years

since Misako's passing, eh.

How time flies.

She was so selfish, leaving me

with our adorable grandsons.

She had to stick with me

Yer grandsons look just like young you.

Reminds me of when you confessed to me.

That's too much, Ine!

So that's why you'd been

picking fights with them.

Don't dwell on it too much, boys.

Come back next year better men.

Be seein' ya!

She's just too strong

No wonder Gramps couldn't win.

Say what?!

IN THE PAS

A WEEK AFTER THE SPORTS FESTIVAL

A WEEK AFTER THE SPORTS FESTIVAL

Geez Why do I have to do this?

Geez Why do I have to do this?

Shota, give this to the Saitos.

A token of gratitude for the other day.

Coming!

Oh, Igarashi?

Saito!

Wait, so

This is from my gramps

You came all the way to give this?

Thanks!

Anyway, come on in.

Grandma and Mom

are out shopping now.

Pardon the intrusion.

I came inside on a spur

Oh, so that's what happened

during the festival.

I never thought my classmate was

the granddaughter of the Saito couple

Right? It's a small world,

don't you think?

The popular girl in class

with both the boys and girls

The idol who'd even talk to me so brightly

to an introvert like me

I never thought I would be alone

with the person I admire like this!

I'll just fiddle with my smartphone

Hey, what games are you playing?

Uh, the one popular with the boys

Wow, what kind?

This one?

It's pretty fun, you know?

What do we do, Mom?

Mino has a boyfriend?! A husband?!

Calm down, Kaede.

Let alone getting married,

I'm sure they're still friends.

Give me a great-grandchild already!

I see. So that's why you

came all the way here.

Thank you.

No, you've been so helpful

to us during the festival.

The grandpa seems

pretty friendly and kind.

But

RUMBLE

RUMBLE

The other two are pressuring me so hard!

RUMBLE

It's like a parent and child meeting

Mino, so yer classmates with Igarashi?

Yeah, that's right.

He's pretty good at sports and study!

He's the soccer club's promising ace!

You're overpraising me, Saito!

I mean, it's the truth.

WHISPER

WHISPER

This might be good, right?

WHISPER

What do you think, Mom?

WHISPER

Even if he's good at sports or study,

WHISPER

it's his personality that counts!

So yer Shota?

Y-Yes, what is it?

Got anyone you like

What's wrong?

It's nothin'.

There was a fly on his cheek.

I'll excuse myself, then.

Come visit us again anytime.

Saito, huh

He's still kinda distant,

but so cute.

Feels like they've just become friends.

Uh, he left already.

I wish we could talk some more

What's wrong, Grandpa?

No

THE SECRET ONLY GRANDPA KNOWS

THE SECRET ONLY GRANDPA KNOWS

Forget it.

THE SECRET ONLY GRANDPA KNOWS

GRAMPS, SEND ME ON ANOTHER ERRAND NEXT TIME

GRAMPS, SEND ME ON ANOTHER ERRAND NEXT TIME

Gramps, send me on another errand next time.

HUH? SURE

HUH? SURE

Huh? Sure

No way!

So Grandma proposed first?!

It was a rare love marriage

in the old days.

So, how did you reply, Grandpa?

I always adored Grandma too.

So I answered, "Gladly."

Even though the era didn't allow it.

My father, your great-grandfather,

was old-fashioned.

He was going to match me up with

the daughter of one of his own friends.

No way

So you couldn't be in love

with your own crush?

No.

Unlike today,

there were things to consider,

like family background.

So what did you do?

Well

I traded blows with my father.

Huh?

One time, I even considered eloping

But I managed to pull through

with Grandma's support.

She was so cool back then.

No kidding! What was she like?

Grandpa, that's

She called the daughter

that Father introduced to me

And said, "I won't let you have my lover!"

Wow, so cool!

Well, she had another person she liked.

So she obediently backed down.

So, Grandma

Imagine I'm your love rival.

Can you reenact

what you said back then?

Huh? I can't do that nowadays.

Please! Just the gist of it!

Grandpa's lookin' at me

with hopeful eyes

Oh, well.

This is for my grandchild.

Gotta suck it up!

SQUISH

Mino, don't ya lay hands on my lover!

I love Grandpa,

but I love you too!

Grandpa, please stop Mino!

HUG

JEALOUS

I'm glad I married her

JEALOUS

NEXT TIME: GRANDPA AND GRANDMA'S CHILDREN

Whatcha hidin'?

I ain't!

It's just gettin' chilly

Oh, you changed the topic.
