"From eternity, many have vanished and been spirited away."
"Few returned, with recollection of their journey,
...as was the way of the spirits."
I want meatballs.
You said you didn't.
"- I did't. - You did!"
Wake me when you turn off the alarm.
"Uh, Tomoya? Did you forget something?''
Poo!
Mind your step!
Let's run.
Watch out! Whoops!
"If you're late for the excursion, I'll have to take you!"
Tomoya?
What? Do you need to poo?
An old warrior.
It's a supermarket promotion.
Gotta go!
Let's cross here.
=.= A boy and his Samurai =.=

Click the panda for the sales analytics...
Does the panda walk and talk?
Uh...you want the panda to walk and talk...?''
He will talk! Okay?
Pandas don't talk!
The client wants it to...
You mean all that work I did won't be used?
And who created this mess?
I'm going to need some convincing before I do it.
I have to go now.
You came in late and you leave on time.
See you guys tomorrow.
Hi, Mom!
Did you have fun?
Oh, no...the price of gas has gone up again.
Tomoya?
You can't look yet!
I'm not playing now!
Come and find me!
OK, OK.
Where can you be?
Hello...
Is this a movie shoot...or something?
Where...
...am I?
This place?
Cherry Court Sugamo apartments.
Sugamo?
Are you certain I'm in Sugamo?
Most certainly.
Are you lost? There's a police post down that way.
Woman.
Identify yourself.
Identify...? I'm just a woman.
What upheaval is this? Put things back to how they were!
Boo!
Don't!
Take me to your place.
Sit.
When did Sugamo change so...?
You're not making any sense...
Show some respect!
Don't yell, please.
Maybe you're right.
I might be the one who's gone mad.
Let me get this straight.
This is not the, Sugamo you're familiar with.
What were you doing before this change took place?''
Arrogance, Woman.
Do not probe, I owe you no explanation.
Woman...!
I happen to have a name.
Tell me it.
I'm Hiroko Yusa.
You have a surname!
You're a samurai's daughter!
I'm just a company employee.
Maybe you can tell me your name?
I told you mine.
As you're of, samurai lineage, I'm obliged.
I'm Yasube Kijima. Officer to the Shogun.
The Shogun...
You're some kind of samurai?
Indeed.
I'm a samurai officer.
From Edo period?
Edo...
...period?
OK, Mr. Kijima, do you know where you live?
In Azabu.
Oh, so you use the Mita subway?
Subway...?
The silver train.
Nothing makes sense.
If you'd kindly fix me something for this...
You can go when you're finished.
I intend to.
Mom, what's the time?
It's 7:40 pm. Dinner's late today.
You don't have to eat it.
My lord...!
It's defrosted, I didn't have time to shop.
Tomoya! What's wrong?
I'll do nothing unlawful.
See, he says he, won't do anything scary.
I missed Pokemon on T.V.
A poky man...
Sorry, honey, I forgot.
What could we do? There's been lots to deal with.
Stop crying! So much has happened today.
Play the Pokemon game with me then!
No! Things are a little irregular tonight.
If I may be of any assistance to the young master...
So I attack you with the method described on the card...
No!
You don't have enough energy yet so you can't do that yet.
I must forfeit my turn...
Razor leaf! Ka-boom! Ka-boom!
100,000 volts...!
You can't use that! You don't have enough energy yet!
Pardon me...
Uncle Kijima, do you want one?
Maybe he won't...
Would you care for custard?
Custard...?
''Caramel custard''
Sweet Heavens!
Its melting texture and sweetness...
This is not or this Earth...!
Mr. Kijima, do you know what year it is now?''
Why do you even ask?
It's the ninth year of Bunsei, year of fire dog.
The ninth year of Bunsei 9...
I believe that's 1826 A.D.
A.D....?
Well, besides the Japane,se eras like Cenroku and Bunsei
there's the Western calendar.
It's 2D09 A.D. now.
180 years have passe,d since the ninth year of Bunsei.
Mr. Kijima, you came from 180 years ago.
It's called time travel.
Did you come lrom the past?
That's absurd!
That's what I think, too.
Then what are you implying...?
Mr. Kijima, listen carefully.
You're not really a samurai from Edo.
I think it's best that you go to the police.
Maybe your family is looking for you.
Police? My mother wouldn't go there...
You think what I hold as true
is in fact, false...
Sorry.
I'm forever indebted to your kindness.
Now I shall be orl.
It's late. let's have a bath.
Can you do this?
Put it there please.
And where's yesterday's one...?
If I do them at the same time, it's quicker.
Can you please deal with them as they come in?
I concentrate better at night, so I'll do them then.
You leave early so you don't know how it goes.
Excuse me?
What?
I'd stay at work if i could!
You only stay because this is all you have!
I have a life too, you know!
Hey, Tomoya!
Come on.
Act your age! You go to elementary school next year!
See how your friends are helping the younger ones?
Tomoya!
Oh, God! Get off the road!
I compensate by bringing work home!
Yes...I know you do.
Hello?
Tomoya!
Oh...
I thought he...
...got run over...
He almost did but
the man over there saved him.
Mr. Kijima!
He was amazing! He stood in front of the truck.
I've never seen such bravery.
He's a relative, right?
He's Uncle Yasube.
Uh...right.
He's my cousin.
He does some acting...
He's in a period piece right now.
So you decided not to go to the police?
It seems unlikely that I've gone mad...
So you say...
He's from the past!
You keep quiet.
You've got to stop bumbling around!
What's wrong with you?
My God, you stink!
"Benny-Supermarket"
Mom, we have a river imp!
A what?
Oh, my God, it's not a wig.
You have my utmost gratitude for your kindness time and again.
I...
I've been looking all over the place
for a way back to where I'm from.
I'm unable to understand a thing in this world.
I'm too afraid to speak to anybody.
I have no idea where to go.
Nobody can help me
except you, Ms. Hiroko.
Ummm...
OK...
I'll help you find your house next weekend, Mr. Kijima.
You can stay with us until then.
You can figure out a way back to Edo!
Uh...well...maybe.
I'm depending on you.
"Azabu Station"
This looks like the Nakahama Mansion.
That must be the lord Suzuki's estate over there...
That's got to be it.
It must be.
Do you know where your house is?
It's over there.
Oh, my God! What floor do you live on?
You don't seem to understand.
You don't understand, Mom.
OK, whatever.
How old are you, Uncle Yasube?
I'm 25.
So young!
How about you, Mom?
Mr. Tomoya.
Age and rank are irrelevant in a relationship.
You're 33 years old!
Oh, keep it down!
By the way, what line ol duty is Mr. Yusa engaged in?
I divorced him 2 years ago.
I'm sorry.I intended no offence.
None taken. I was the one who wanted to end it.
You wanted a divorce!
He was nice at first. He said, "Of course you can work!"
But he refused to help with the baby!
You see, he didn't really want me to work!
So I told him, I'm better off without you.
You confuse me...
It's appropriate for you to perform the house duties.
Why?
If the wife works, who tends the house and child?
That's why I wanted him to help me!
That's absurd.
Men go out and earn and women keep the house.
Maybe so in Edo.
But this is Tokyo.
Tokyo women can go out and work.
With skills, they can do anything.
What an insatiable world...
What?
We should all know our boundaries.
You're saying that I don't?
Uncle Yasube, that's where you were the other day.
The Sugamo I know is all rice paddies and crop fields.
There is a little Buddha statue by the path.
I was praying to it like this...
What did you pray for?
For good health and that kind of thing.
But unbeknown to me a sgring began welling at my feet.
A spring?
I tried to get out but i couldn't. I began sinking.
The next thing I knew, I was standing here.
It could be that by doing the exact same thing...
It will reverse what's happened.
The exact same...
To the statue, I mean.
Mom, I'm hungry.
You just ate!
I want a hamburger.
As long as you don't order the the Whoopie combo.
But that comes with a toy!
Can you eat toys?
Tomoya!
Good morning.
This is my cousin.
Hello.
Pleased to make your acquaintance.
The Whoopie combo!
The Whoopie combo?
The Whoopie combo!
We always end up eating their hamburgers!
Where's your husband?
Playing golf, like he does every weekend.
Is it too much for him to be with his own son?
But don't you work?
Yes! I wish I could have a break too.
Oh, men are so useless!
Oh, don't I know that.
Tomoya, what are you doing? Get down.
Take your shoes off!
Tomoya, sit down.
I'm very sorry.
I told you to stop that!
No, you told me to sit down.
It's the same thing.
No, it isn't the same at all.
Anyway sit down or I'll take that thing away.
No!
Behave yourself!
Subtitle by Aldi Arman
That's no way to speak fo your mother. You owe her an apology.
I'm sorry.
Also to the lady you hit with the toy.
I'm sorry, lady.
I'm sorry.
Lady.
Who...me?
I find your dealings rather rude.
It would be appropriate to return the courtesy.
Mr. Kijima, that's enough.
A real man never cries.
But...
You ought to be reprimanded for your mischief.
Let's leave it at that.
This is a dining hall.
Eat what your mother ordered for you.
Thank you very much.
Don't mention it.
You kind of sound like a samurai.
I am a samurai.
It's natural to correct a misbehaving child.
You're right but...
Getting mad requires effort. It's tiring.
It takes lots of energy.
If you don't have energy, you can't even make a move.
Ah, like in Pokemon.
This is Edo and yet it is not.
To live in modern Edo must require a lot of energy.
I guess you're right.
I must find the Buddha statue in order to return.
In which case...
you'll have to provide my shelter, Ms. Hiroko.
Are you sure about that...?
But in the meantime I shall not be idle.
i've given it some thought today.
I shall attend to all the domestic alfairs from now on.
What?
I hope you don't find my intentions objectionable.
But you said, housekeeping was for women.
And you said that this is Tokyo, where things are different.
I did, but...
That way I can return your favor and help you with your life.
Uncle Yasube is going to cook us food?
Indeed, I shall try my best to surpass your mother's cooking.
The way of the supermarket, one takes a basket
in which he carries the items to be purchased.
Items on sale are best bought in bulk.
Consider the reasons they were marked down.
Note the expiration date on fresh produce.
As items on sale are usually close to expiring.
How to maximise fridge space.
Ptace items away from the center so it is clear.
This provides an unobstructed view of the contents.
The way of the laundry: leave soiled clothes
in a bucket of water and "attack" overnight.
Delicate garments should be placed in a net before being washed.
If an errand requires you to leave home, use the timer.
It allows you to accomplish a chore
without you having to be there.
Excuse me.
Excuse me!
I told you, Tomoya...
When you turn off the alarm, wake mommy up...
It is time for you to get up.
Uh, thank you.
I'd appreciate it if you gave me work one at a time.
What's going on? Can I sit at my desk?
What do you think of this?
What now?
There's something funny with the data.
I'll correct it now.
Are you finished yet?
The client gave us some incorrect data.
I see.
Don't you have to go home?
It'll take a little longer.
Okay.
Why did you do that?
What?
Keep my mistake from the boss.
Shouldn't I have?
No, it's fine by me.
Okay, let's get down to it?
It's bouillabaisse for 4.
We'll use ptenty of seafood. A variety of fish and shellfish...
I can't come to the phone now.
Press START to send a fax.
If you wish to leave a message, do so after the tone.
Hello! Yasube?
Are you there?
Are you out?
I am here.
Ms. Hiroko, where are you?
Pick it up if yu're there.
Pick up the thing on the left...
The thing that looks like a top knot.
Can I ask you to pick up Tomoya from daycare?
You want to give them gifts? No, you don't need to!
What's wrong, Mr. Tomoya?
He's a little feverish.
I don't want to eat.
You must. Just have a spoonful.
Thank you.
I finished it.
That's great.
Um...
I'm sorry about how I treated you.
Yes, I did it!
Accomplishing your duty must feel good.
Nothing beats it!
Where's Tomoya? In the bath?
You could have called me.
You had your duties to perform.
This is more important.
37.4 degrees. You have a fever.
Uncle Yasube cooked me gruel.
Nice...sorry I was late.
What do you have?
Caramel custard.
I know what it is...
Did you make it?
I put more,, eggs in to make it nutritious.
Awesome!
Awesome, is it?
It's so yummy!
Are you sure? Is it yummy?
"Promoted to Project F Team Leader"
No...
You always wanted to go into consulting.
You can turn it down.
I'll do it.
Anything new with you?
Excuse me?
Is someone dropping off and picking your son up from daycare?
Did you find a man who works from home...?
Is there someone in your life?
Sorry, I'm going to be tate again.
Don't concern,, yourself, do your duty.
Mr. Tomoya, it is your mother.
I have my hands full!
Don't tire yourself.
For strawberry shortcake,. whip cream stiff for the cream layers
and whip it soft for the topping.
Insert the skewer and if it comes out ctean from the cake
you'll know that it is baked optimally.
Keep the frosting spatuta still and rotate on Lazy Susan.
Doing so wiIl stop the cream from becoming uneven.
Puree chestnuts and whip cream thoroughly for a perfeEt mont blanc.
This is imperative when it's decorated.
Mille-feuille consists of layers of puff pastry.
Roll out the pastry and rest it frequentty
for optimal smoothness.
A quality meringue is the basis of gateau au chocolat.
In principal it's soft and moist inside with a crisp exterior.
Come on in.
My husband's at golf again!
Hey, what's that good smell?
Yes, it smells heavenly.
You might be a little surprised.
Yummy!
Oh, my God!
My gratitude to you for coming.
I'm not sure if my efforts meet with your taste but please try them.
This is yummy!
Let me try some.
- This is great! - Let me taste some.
Delicious chocolate!
Mr. Yasube, you could start a business.
It'd be a waste if you didn't.
This is great!
Ready!
Mr. Tomoya.
Mind your hips and waist!
Stride more vigorously!
Mr. Tomoya is a hopeful.
i suggest you let him have a real sword.
Oh, please!
I'm jesting.
I mean it. Just holding a real sword will get you arrested.
But sometimes the situation might call for it.
I wouldn't like it!
If Mr. Yasube got arrested, I wouldn't like it!
Me neither!
Point taken.
I won't use a sword in Tokyo.
You have to promise me!
Only death will break the vow.
How morbid!
Hey!
Somebody might see us...
Let them see us.
But if we're supposed to be cousins...
I'm tired of secrets! Forget it.
Who cares if you're my cousin or a Samurai.
You're a fresh, young knave.
Pardon me, madam!
A man shouldn't leave a woman embarrassed.
"Happy New Year!"
"Mr. Yasube Kijima"
A card for Yasube?
"Congratulations, you've been selected for the...
Dad's Cake-Baking Contest?"
He got accepted!
You entered him without telling us.
I did it for him! His talent deserves recognition.
Hi...Check this out!
Such an event is out of the question.
Why won't you go in it?
The reason is clear.
This event is like a duel.
My cake baking is a domestic affair.
It is not something to flaunt in public.
I want you to enter it too.
Have you lost your reason!?
You only heard of cakes a few months ago.
Now you bake cakes like some kind of a pro!
You're a cake genius.
This is a chance for you to see how good you are.
You might actually end up winning...
That'll mean that Edo outdid Tokyo!
This is the Dad's Cake-Baking Contest!
We'll begin the preliminaries.
Ready!
How was it? How did it go?
It went as it should have.
Excuse me, coming through!
Oh, my God...you're a finalist!
