And so, people...
...it's almost the school trip!
You're all too damn noisy!
Incidentally, we're going on a ski trip to Niigata.
Why a ski trip?
And not to, like, Kyoto or Osaka...
More importantly, aren't you forgetting something?
There's an important event you have to get through before the trip.
Important event?
Sorry. I guess I didn't tell you.
But even so, do it.
First, you gotta...
...tell us what it is!
Episode 62: Skip!
And so...
...we need to decide how to split up the rooms.
Didn't you know about the school's tradition
of using a certain form of recreation to decide...
...how the rooms are split?
J-son-sensei...
Did he have another omiai that didn't work out?
Sensei! I'll explain it!
Takahashi-san! Thank you...
A rank - 1 class B rank - 2 classes C rank - 4 classes D rank - 1 class
Ready, everyone?! The rooms have ranks!
A rank is super luxurious! If you get D rank, it's super pathetic!
And the way to decide which each class gets before the trip...
Of course, that's through a giant rope skipping competition!
Why?!
I dunno. But anyway, the ranking is decided by the number of consecutive skips.
What kind of school is this?!
The contest is the day after tomorrow! Let's aim for victory!
I'd expect no less from the athletic class B!
What are we excited about?!
Okay, let's decide who's going to turn the rope. Any volunteers?
Me!
Wha... Saaya, are you serious?!
Yeah, I'm serious. I wanna turn the rope.
Agata-san...
Do you understand what kind of person it takes to turn the rope?
Girls Volleyball Team Member Horii Kanako
When it comes to group rope skipping,
turning the rope is the most important role. We need a tall boy.
You don't cut it.
Y-You don't know until I try it!
No, I already know without you trying it.
Saaya versus Horii!
It's a tsun-showdown!
Agata-san, you just want to turn the rope to avoid skipping, don't you?
I see... Saaya is really bad at sports...
Alright! Let's do it one more time!
Ready... Go!
One...
Jeez! Who was that?!
Sorry... It was me...
Come on, Saaya again?! Since we started, it's been "One... smack!"
Um... I-I'm really sorry...
A Saaya without tsun is also...
In a way, this is...
W-Well, we've still got time...
Yeah!
Let's all work hard together!
Unbelievable!
Why are all of you being so easy on her?!
Horii...
Group rope skipping is about team play!
If even one person can't keep up, the whole thing is ruined!
I-I feel bad about it, but...
In the first place, Agata-san, can you even ski?
N-No, not at all...
With your lack of coordination, I doubt you could learn, even with practice.
I wonder if there's even a point to you going on the school trip.
To be blunt, you're a nuisance to us.
Hey! That's going too far!
What?! It's just the truth!
Horii, you're not making things any better.
Don't let it get to you, Saaya.
Okay! Let's keep on practicing!
Wait!
Who cares about skipping rope?! I'm not a little kid. I'm done with it!
That's not making things any better either!
I'm in bad shape when it comes to competitions, so I'll just watch.
Without me, you guys can knock yourselves out practicing. Bye-bye!
There she goes again, sayin' that stuff...
We know her too well, though. But I bet she's going off to practice in secret.
Come to think of it, don't you think Saaya has been more cheerful recently?
It's like she's easier to talk to.
It was harder to approach her before.
I guess it's been kind of effective.
I think I know where she's going...
I spoke sharply and stormed off, so I wanna practice in secret...
What the hell are you doin'?!
After all...
There'd be no point in you practicin' with us!
You've got to do it with your class.
But they can't get any practicing done with me around.
And I don't wanna cause them any more trouble...
First of all, I need to learn how to skip rope on my own.
That's the level you're at?!
I didn't realize you sucked at sports that badly, Saaya.
What was your grade for P.E.? Like, the 1-5 scale on your report card...
It said, "Try harder."
Try harder.
What the hell is that?! I never heard of that before!
My grade was below 1, so it's a special thing...
Just how bad are you?!
It's hard to start with a big rope, so first we'll practice with the two of us.
Jump into my rope.
Okay!
Young lady, jump into the rope! Come on in!
Young lady, get in here! Come on now!
Young lady, jump into the rope, come on, let's go...
Just jump in already! He's lookin' more and more like a pervert...
S-Sorry. I can't get the timing...
What the hell?! This is just Bossun skipping rope and singing by himself!
Young lady, jump into the rope!
That was close...
Just a little more...
Yeah...
Why...?
Why are you giving it your all to help me?
Because you're giving it your all.
I'll do my best tomorrow.
Alright, six classes have already diminished!
Finished!
Finished! Right now, the top team is class F, led by Tsubaki Sasuke-kun, with 78 skips!
Can this record be broken?!
The only teams left are the sports-loving class B and class C,
which is confident in its esprit de corps!
She didn't make any mistakes!
Are you okay, Saaya?
You're sweatin' bullets!
I-It's not like I'm nervous or anything!
Alright, let's begin!
Ready... Go!
They're in harmony!
That's class B for you!
Attagirl, Saaya!
You're doin' great, Saaya!
When'd you get so good?!
D-Don't talk to me now!
My legs are gonna give out...
Saaya! Hang in there!
And stop right there! They got 77 skips, just one short of class F's record!
Sorry! My foot got caught on it.
What are you talkin' about?!
You were great, Agata!
Very impressive.
I'm surprised how good you got at skipping, Saaya!
Nice job, Saaya!
And now, our last class! Class C, please get ready.
Why did you lie?
It was my foot that got caught on the rope.
Oh, who cares? It doesn't matter.
It does matter! After everything I said, I'm the one that screwed up!
How lame is that?! But you covered up for me...
Shut up, already! Is it really that embarrassing?
I mean, I do understand... You and I are a lot alike.
But everybody trips up once in a while. So it doesn't matter whose fault it was.
I'm sorry, Saaya.
Oh, that's right, Horii. I have a favor to ask...
What?
Teach me how to ski, okay?
Alright! Let's go, class C!
Let's show 'em what teamwork's really about! We're not gunnin' for 79 times!
Our aim is 100 times! Even if your legs fall off, keep skippin'!
Ready... go!
One!
Who did that?!
What the hell's wrong with you?!
Sket Dance!
As you know, we have eight classes, 2-A to 2-H.
However, due to our numbers, there are only seven buses.
Therefore, we'll draw lots to decide which two classes will ride together on the seventh bus.
Quiet!
Will the representative from each class please draw a lot?
There's a karaoke machine in here. Who wants to sing?!
I don't know, maybe I will... Maybe I will sing...
I brought along some Pockin. Chuu-san, you want?
But it's too embarrassing to sing by myself.
Yeah, I'll take two.
Will somebody sing with me?
I never imagined that I would draw the losing lot.
Bossun, give me two, too!
Switch, you want some Pockin, too?
Two, s'il vous plait.
Huh? Did you just click your tongue?
Did you want a Pockin, too?
N-No, I don't want any!
Which is it?! I could've sworn you looked like you wanted it just now!
I'm not a child... Anyway, I have kuki!
Cookies... You're like a kid yourself!
kukiwakame = a seaweed snack
Kukiwakame?! You meant "kuki", as in "kukiwakame"?! Seriously?
Don't mock kukiwakame. It's got plenty of dietary fiber and is surprisingly tasty.
You have to eat that now?! And don't go callin' kukiwakame just "kuki"!
Is this what's called a spare seat?
It's too bad class F has gotten separated like this. Want a snack?
You're lucky. I wish I had a boyfriend, too!
Sacchin, there's someone that you like, right? Tell him how you feel!
I've heard that a lot of couples are formed on school trips.
Bossun...
What?!
Want to eat some?
Eat some?
Monsoons are good...
Oh, duh. Monsoons...
What are Monsoons?! What kind of snack are they?!
Why are you spaced out?
I-I'm not spaced out!
Really? Your face is red and you seem restless.
Just like the package of Young Girl in Love Chips.
Young Girl in Love? That's a snack, too?
Look...
Uh-huh?
Oh, my!
Captain, you're friends with the Sket-dan, right?
Yeah. And so are you lately, right?
Yeah. Um...
Bossun...
Oh, never mind.
What's wrong, Saaya? I thought you wanted to ask me something.
Do you want some Young Girl in Love Chips?
No!
I'll take some.
We're just stopping here for 20 hours, so don't be late!
That's 20 minutes! 20 minutes!
Maybe I'll get some takoyaki... And a frankfurter!
How much are you gonna eat?! You're gettin' carried away! I'll get some katsu curry!
How much are you gonna eat?! You're gettin' carried away!
Is something wrong, Saaya?
W-What?! Th-There's nothing wrong here! You should go somewhere else, you pervert!
I would expect nothing less from a tsundere. That's the spirit!
Bossun and Himeko-chan went to get something to eat. Aren't you gonna go?
I'm not particularly hungry, so no.
Why not? Aren't you three always together? So you should catch up...
Oh. No, I often go out on my own.
Once in a while, there will be an episode in which I don't even have a line.
For instance, take part A this time around...
Part A?
H-Hey, Switch...
I wonder how Bossun feels about Himeko-chan.
What do you mean?
I mean... Bossun and Himeko-chan are so close, so...
Well, I would say they don't have a romantic relationship...
...though I don't really know how they feel about each other.
But if you really want to know, why not try asking Bossun directly?
W-What are you, stupid?! It's not like I care either way!
Is that right?
That's right! Besides, it's not like I'd even be able to ask him that! You must be stupid!
Really? I would think two friends of the opposite sex
could have a normal conversation about that.
That's true...
Right?
And even if there's something that would normally be too embarrassing to ask,
it's easier to ask about here on the trip.
Yeah. You're right...
Th-Then maybe I'll ask him when I get the chance...
Thanks, Switch! Bye!
What's wrong, Switch? Just standin' there all alone...
Nothing's wrong.
What's wrong? Did you eat too much?
No. I'm carsick... I'm especially weak when it comes to buses.
Wait, I don't mean that in a fighting kind of way! If I fought a bus, I would probably win!
No, if you fought a bus, you'd definitely lose! What's with that pride of yours?!
Alright, I get it. You can take some medicine that I've got for carsickness.
Thanks, Chuu-san.
No problem. I made it myself, so it should work like a charm.
N-Never mind!
Why? You don't feel good, right?
No, really, I'm fine. I feel better already!
Liar! Here, just take it already.
No! I can't take this stuff!
What's that sinister aura?!
What's this pill case, Chuuma-sensei?
It's filled with various suspicious medicines that I've developed.
You just admitted that they're suspicious!
Look at this medicine in the puple and green capsules.
And why is there a skull on the lid of the case?! Think before you do stuff!
Sensei, what's this medicine?
Oh, that? If you swallow that, you'll lose all motivation.
What the hell are you makin'?!
I don't see how that could be useful at all.
Well, I created it by accident.
For a time, I lost all motivation and was in despair over the whole world.
What the hell are you doin'?!
W-What are these other kinds of medicine?
That one turns you into a child. That one makes you invisible.
That makes your hair grow long. This mixes up your facial expressions and emotions.
Bossun has fallen victim to all of these drugs.
The question is why are you walkin' around with all this stuff in pill form?!
You explained it in such a nonchalant way, but this case alone must be worth a fortune.
What are the other three? I'm curious, so explain all the damn things!
Dying of curiosity, are you?
Um, this black pill is called "Hypno", because if you swallow it,
you'll do the first thing that anyone says.
You keep makin' these dangerous drugs!
And this is the motion sickness medicine.
That's for motion sickness?!
Don't put it with the weird drugs!
This last one is called "Exchange", because if two people take it, their personalities are exchanged.
Why?!
And those are the contents of my portable pill case. Now, Himeko, take the one for motion sickness.
Wait-wait-wait-wait!
That last one you rattled off sounds incredible!
What is that "Exchange"?!
I see! It's perfect, having you twins here...
Okay, Bossun and Tsubaki. I'm gonna explain how this drug works, so listen up.
First, two people have to swallow Exchange at the same time.
Then they'll feel as if they've been struck by lightning and will pass out.
During this time, what you might call the soul
will float outside of each person's body, putting them into a state of instability.
Float...?
And he talks like he's reading a shopping list...
The unstable souls will be drawn to each other
and in the end will enter the other person's body.
What do you think happens then?
When they awaken, their personalities are swapped! Like this... Try it, you guys.
Forget it! No way!
What are you sellin' here?! Why are you tryin' to get us to take that drug on the bus?!
Listen, you two, this experiment
will have a much higher rate of success
if the subjects are two people with the same type of body, like twins!
Experiment?! Rate of success?! Have you ever even tested this drug before?!
Yes, and the mice trials went very well.
Mice?!
How would you know it if two mice switched personalities?!
I can tell! Micky and Algernon absolutely traded personalities! So, take it.
As if! I refuse!
Shut up, all of ya's! I told you I wasn't feelin' well, so frickin' keep it down!
If you're just gonna keep bitchin' about it, hurry up and take the damn pill already!
Sure is lively in the back...
Maybe I'll sing this...
A-Alright!
I-I can't take this anymore. Chuu-san, I'm gonna take the one for motion sickness...
Sure, here...
Chuuma-sensei, what's wrong?
It's nothing. We're fine. Sorry it's been so noisy back here... but don't mind us.
Okay. Take it.
W-Well?!
It looks like you've been struck by lightning! That's good! And then... Excellent! They passed out!
Something incredible is happening at the back of the bus!
Tsubaki is waking up...
Alright! Now you should be Bossun!
Chuu-san, did it work?
Bossun!
I-I'm sleeping next to me!
I did it! Success! Then Bossun should have become Tsubaki...
Hey, this feels weird! Come on, wake up, already, Tsubaki!
What kind of school trip is this going to be?
What the hell is this?!
"What the hell is this?!"
There I am!
I don't understand it, but I've become Bossun!
W-Wait a second! This is getting complicated.
Then... who's in there?!
I'm Bossun...
H-Hold on, let's straighten this out! What the hell happened to you?!
That's what I wanna ask!
You tell me what this is!
I'm Bossun!
This isn't funny, Chuu-san, you bastard!
Switch, it has nothing to do with you! Don't make things worse!
So, it seems like this is what happened...
You took what you thought was for motion sickness, but was really Exchange.
I'm Himeko.
You swallowed the Exchange that I gave you.
Bossun.
And I gave you what I mistakenly thought was Exchange, but was really Hypno.
I'm Tsubaki Sasuke!
So to sum up, Bossun and Himeko switched,
while Tsubaki is just convinced that he's Bossun because of the effect from Hypno.
Right. Dammit... This one's just annoying.
What kind of way to talk is that?! It's your fault for givin' me the wrong pill!
Anybody could've made that mistake! Exchange and Hypno look a lot alike!
You're the one who made 'em!
Anyway, now I know they all work, so I'll return you to normal right away.
Getting you back is easy.
Tsubaki will take Hypno once more and then I'll order him to become Tsubaki again.
As for Bossun and Himeko...
They just need to take Exchange one more time.
That's it!
Then let's just do it already!
Okay, first I'll give these two the Exchange...
Huh?
Did you just say, "Ah"?!
What? What's wrong?!
Now that I've looked closely, the remaining Exchanges are actually all Hypnos.
See... They look alike...
So, um... you may not be able to go back to normal for a while...
Uh, in fact, I hate to be the bearer of bad news...
...but you'll have to be like this for the next three days.
Let's go! Next time on...
...Sket Dance!
And so... Forget it. Explaining is a pain.
Explain, dammit!
Whose fault is it that we're like this?!
After all, look what's inside and it's obvious. Go ahead and explode, TV. Boom...
Hey!
At last, the school trip itself!
Changing clothes! The washrooms! Taking a bath! Can these two get out of these various pinches?!
Switch, you're awesome!
Next time:
School Trip Rhapsody, Part One, it says...
We're the ones that wanna sigh!
I can't take this anymore!
