The end.
Your yukata's a cute pink, Chiri.
Your light blue one's also beautiful.
That's right...
Today is Tanabata...
Teacher.
Tanabata
Your cell phone strap is quite cute, Miss Kitsu.
Here
Tanabata
Your hair ornament is also pretty.
Here
Tanabata
Shouldn't you comment on my yukata instead of a cell phone strap in this kind of situation?
Golden Ginza Shopping District
I understand what you mean.
However...
It can't be helped!
For some reason humans are creatures who are drawn away from the main point!
They focus on the sponsor name on his chest, instead of the actual match!
Binbo...?
The position of Takuya Ki****'s 'stache instead of the actual movie!
It's high...
Places really high...
Suspect
Ooki Sorata (36)
The suspect's unusual name instead of the crime committed!
Sorata...?
Tanabata
Once your attention's been drawn, that's all you can think about and you completely forget about the main point!
Consequently, "Takuya Ki****'s 'stache was high,"
was all I got out of the movie.
What's with that?
For DTV
Cybernetic TV
I'm currently reporting live from the scene of the crime.
It looks like something happened in our area.
The suspect is believed to have used this escape route.
Currently available information indicates...
What's?!
Delicious!!
Beer
Gloom
With?
Absolutely Positive Concert
That weird...
Shirt?
You focus on the weird shirt in the gallery instead of the actual crime!
Tanabata
What was all the fuss about?
There was a sighting of a young man wearing a weird shirt.
Well...
I'm ashamed to say that it's also happened to me.
You, Miss Kitsu?

"What is this?"
"It's bread."
You don't know what that is?!
Shouldn't it be obvious?!
It's bread!
The fact that he doesn't know what bread is is a bigger problem than the problem itself.
Yeah, one of those, huh...
Yes!
People tend to be drawn away from the main point!
I'm in despair!
Our people's tendency to be drawn away from the main point has left me in despair!
Hello
Hello.
It's true that I also once found myself drawn away from the main point.
Miss Kobushi.
There was a tragedy in the neighborhood recently.
At the funeral the mourner's anime voice was all I could think about...
All I could think about...
Even when I knew it was rude, it was all I could think about...
I suppose that could happen.
People are prone to letting their attention be drawn away from the main point!
The suspect's wig instead of the crime itself
Anime opening song's Oricon ranking instead of the anime itself
The mascot character rather than the tragedy it's used during
The astronaut's mustached husband instead of the astronaut herself
The handkerchief instead of baseball
Be**ham's oddly high-pitched voice instead of his face
The price of gasoline at the station Yagi** **ya worked at instead instead of movie's actual story
E**zo's Kabuki escapades in real life instead of his Kabuki acting skills
The newspaper wrapping around the box lunch she made for you instead of the lunch itself...
J*h*ny's instead of volleyball
The woman in the audience glaring at the groom instead of the actual wedding ceremony
The country that cares more about beating Japan than its global image
Shy instead of golf
That always happens.
Where your attention's drawn away from the main point.
It's also happened to you?
I can remember it happening.
I was in line at a crêpe shop a while back.
That's normal.

An Artist by the Roadside
From Chapter 100
Originally Published July 4th, Showa 82
Greetings, Earthlings.
We are the backbone of this universe...
The El Ninonians.
We will now commence our invasion of Earth.
Aliens?!
Invade Earth?!
N-No way!
Incredible Turn of Events!!!
Isn't this a rather sudden turn of events?!
Who are you complaining to?
It's hopeless.
I'm in despair.
Humanity going down without a fight has left me in despair.
A reason to be in despair that other people can agree with for once.
Shouldn't we run away?
There's nowhere to run.
Humanity will be annihilated!
U-Uh...
You're my old friend...
Yes!
Your old friend...
Ancient Japanese Legends
Actually, a few days ago I found this ancient document in a super ancient Jomon ruin.
Wh-What's wrong with you?!
We're busy right now!
Omitted
I-I see...
This ancient document contains the location of an ultimate weapon from a super ancient civilization.
If we find this ultimate weapon, won't we be able to drive the aliens away?
So?
Where is this ultimate weapon?
According to the ancient text...
El Ninonians!
A-ha!
It's right underneath us!
Terribly convenient!
In any case, let's dig!
Adjutant.
Perhaps using the giant robot for the invasion of this planet was overkill?
There is a saying on this planet that even lions use all their strength when trying to catch rabbits.
Shall we observe the terrified rabbits?
As you wish.
You're pretty impressive...
Wanna join our team?
No.
I just came to collect data for a baseball manga.
Stop! Stop!
It's awfully noisy.
I wonder if there's a fire.
It appears that terror has struck many people.
What a carefree bunch!
Sorry.
Did I hurt your feelings?
Hey, Majiru.
Wanna see my swimsuit?
Though I can't replace Manabe.
General!
This isn't the time to be watching!
You're right. I can't.
How could I make such a mistake?
Launch all combat units!
Let's finish them off in one fell swoop!
It's hopeless...
We can't find the ultimate weapon and the enemy's sending more robots...
We have no chance...
We have no chance!
You're so annoying!
You could stop whining and give us a hand.
I found it!
A stone mask?
Is this really the ultimate weapon?
Why don't you try putting it on?
You're right.
Evaporate!
Th-This is it...
This seems pretty crazy...
Either way, I'll just wipe out the enemies!
Erster!
Zweiter!
Proper Sword!
Dritter!
Sh-She's strong!
But why German?
Fart
Fart?
Underwear in a Japanese outfit.
How crass.
Bell peppers?!
Why bell peppers?
You wanted to see my swimsuit?
What are you talking about?
Of course not!
Really?
General!
Our robot army...
What?!
Erupting Gold Finger!
Over 1000 Kills
How about it?
I'm the true Dynasty Warrior!
I shouldn't have let my attention be drawn away from the main point!
Man...
This episode had an excellent story.
It ruled, Teacher!
A battle that will leave its mark on the history of Earth!
B-By the way...
What is it?
I was so bothered by the "fart" written on the alien robot that I don't remember the main point.
And all I can remember are the peppers on her underwear.
I'm in despair.
In the year 1976
we moved to Sannomiya Center City.
I suggested a number of store names to my father
but he didn't like any of them.
Then I tried flipping my father's name around
and he decided to go with that.

The Heartless King
Kudo Jun
Long ago, there was a kingdom with a king who wanted everything.
He would buy everything he wanted around the world with money.
The king would say...
"There is nothing I do not possess."
One day a travelling merchant appeared and said...
"Forgive me but there is something Your Majesty does not possess."
"That would be a human heart."
Omitted
The king used his body to protect the child from the demon kidnapper.
"Thank you!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
That was when the king finally attained a human heart.
In exchange for his life...
It was only for a brief moment in his long life, but the king attained a heart and was happy.

The Restaurant with Many Condolence Calls.
Restaurant Puffer Fish House.
"This restaurant has many condolence calls so please keep that in mind."
So the deceased chef had many friends while he was alive?
No, we're selling puffer fish without a license, so it's not that we receive many condolence calls.
Rather, we have to make condolence calls to all the customers who've died.
"Wah!"
Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.
The two began to cry.
"Bury yourself in the sand to counter the poison."
"We can't wait 15 minutes for the ambulance."
