Remember, when you watch TV...
When you watch Zettai Karen Children, turn on the lights and sit back from the TV. Turn on the lights and sit back from the TV!

I'm home!
Jeez, neither of them are home.
Even after I said I was coming home for the weekend.
Are they back?
Wh-Who the heck are you?!
It's pretty awesome, invincible power!
Boy, does it feel great
Absolutely lovely! So we never lose!
Come on, let's head for tomorrow!
Zettai Karen Children
Yeah!
Zettai Karen Children Absolutely!
Zettai Karen Children
Daring!
It just takes a touch for me to know
The limiter on my heart
Has been released, and then you see
Yes! Change the world!
Trying again and again through hot battle!
Reaching through what's real
Absolutely lovely! So we never lose!
The thrills just can't be beat!
Courage begins to light the darkness of the world
It overflows with the miracles you gave
If you can take pride in a smile
That suits no one else
Then let's go beyond the future now
We can try over the future world!
Yeah!
Ultimate!
Daring!
Site, secured. Looks like a couple
of overzealous fans of Akie and Yoshimi Akashi tried to force their way in.
13th sense. "Family Breakdown! Operation Paradise!!" of overzealous fans of Akie and Yoshimi Akashi tried to force their way in.
Kaoru!
Minamoto.
What the hell happened?!
Well, you know that essay we were assigned to write?
The one on "family"...
Here's your homework assignment!
Please write an essay. The theme will be "family."
You'll be reading them in class next week at this time.
Bye-bye! Bye-bye!
Say, Tono, would you like to work on our essays together?
Um, s-sure. That'd be okay.
Perhaps you two will be a family in the future!
Wh-Wh-What are you saying?!
Wh-Wh-Why would I have a family with her?!
Finished!
Me, too!
Lemme see! Lemme copy it!
Why would you want to copy it?
It's meaningless unless you write it yourself, right?
What did you write about?
Just about what my family's like.
Well, with a few dramatic touches.
We can't really write the whole truth, can we?
A little lie to get by.
A lie to get by...
A lie...
Eureka! I have it!
When I grow up, I shall marry you, big brother!
Oh, little sister!
I await the day you are grown!
"And Minamoto waited for her, licking his lips in anticipation!"
Ow!
What are you writing?!
An essay about "family."
How is that an essay?! You want to make me a social outcast?!
I'm sorry, big brother.
Who are you calling big brother?!
Dear brother? Who are you calling big brother?!
That's not the problem here! You have a family, don't you?!
This is the legendary Star of the Nile.
Popular actress Akie Akashi,
taking time out from a dress rehearsal of her new show "The Crimson Lizard"
and a busy schedule of press events and drama series.
Money's everything in this world.
Meanwhile, Akie's eldest daughter Yoshimi
is quickly becoming a popular gravure idol.
She now tries her hand at her first commercial!
Fight!! KING COBRA ENERGY DRINK
Deliciousness to bring you back to life!
Relax! You can live, even when you're dead!
They're huge...
They both have such nice figures.
Mom... Sis...
Why not go home on the weekend? You haven't been back for a while, have you?
My home is here!
Kaoru...
Okay, fine! I just have to go home, right?
So, after I'm forced to go home, neither of them was there
and some fanboys tried to force their way in!
You went a little overboard keeping them out, didn't you?
There are some real jerks who sell the home addresses of actresses!
Then call the police or us before you try to take them out!
This way.
Thank you.
YOSHIMI AKASHI
Yoshimi! What are you doing here, dressed like that?!
Huh?
I ran straight over here from a gravure shoot at the studio!
Thanks for always putting up with my little sister, Mr. Minamoto!
Um, actually... How do I put this?
Calm down.
Oh!
Actually, it was the other people at fault this time.
Don't worry about it!
Anyway, just go back to the studio and get back to work, okay?
It's all right. I came because I was done with the shoot.
Then get changed!
Sis, you used me as an excuse to come and meet Minamoto, didn't you?!
What's wrong with a girl who's ready to marry trying to get a guy?!
Minamoto's one of the elite!
You can't find a guy like him on group dates!
And what "group dates" would those be?!
AKIE AKASHI
Mom!
It's because you only do things like that
you can't move up from just doing gravure!
Mom, what on Earth are you wearing?
I ran straight over from the stage of "The Crimson Lizard", I was so worried!
You didn't come here because you were worried about me at all.
Thanks for always putting up with my daughter, Mr. Minamoto.
Yes. I have stolen away your precious gem.
But in my heart, you are the thief and I am the detective.
Oh, hello, Chief...
Because it is you who have stolen my heart!
The chief is still doing the postprocessing on this case!
No! But, it's the actress, Akie Akashi!
Chief!
Please! I'm a fan! Chief!
Please, Young Mr. Kobayashi!
Who are you talking about?!
Young Mr. Oboro! Who are you talking about?!
You're not making sense!
Excuse us.
You stayed in costume, but you went natural with the makeup, huh, Mom?
What about it?
Not only do you go after every young male actor out there, but Minamoto, too?!
It's been 5 years since your father left! I need a husband, too!
Um, excuse me? Let me go. Don't you want a new daddy, Kaoru?
Um, excuse me? Let me go. No, you want a brother, right?
Minamoto's being defiled.
Sorry I'm late!
This is a secret mission.
We're helping the Akashi family to move!
Do it secretly, so that nobody finds out about it!
We will be helpful to Ms. Akie!
AKAI MOVING CENTER
That's what's got you so grumpy, Kaoru?
Even Mr. Minamoto isn't made of stone.
If those two tempt him, he's going to fold.
What's that mean?
Shut up! Enough, already!
I think they're both pretty hot, though.
Sis is 21 and lively,
and Mom's a devilish woman who doesn't look like she's ever had any kids.
On days we took baths together,
everywhere I'd look, I was thinking "Wow!"
Like I should be paying for it!
So, why are you criticizing me?
I dunno. Maybe it bugs me that you reacted so normally to it.
Oh, now we know something.
Apparently, even he's just a normal man.
Quit making stuff up!
Quit worrying. They were just teasing me!
What I'd expect from Kaoru's family!
I wonder.
Anyway, don't do what you did again!
But, that was-
I know you had a reason.
But using your powers to solve every problem is going too far.
Still, you have a nice family.
They didn't blame you or scold you for what you did.
He just doesn't get it.
Not scolding me means they just...
Wow, it's a mansion!
How many rooms does it have?
Be careful moving those.
Yes, Master.
Leave this to us, Master.
Good girls. You're such a help!
Yes, Master!
It's such a help to have you all helping out.
This is easy for us.
Oh? This box doesn't have anything written on it.
Lemme see. I've got this.
Stringy... Sheer... Shells?
Wow, this is all amazing! Is it the older sister's?
Or maybe it's Kaoru's collection!
Oh, put that box in my room, please.
Right. Right.
The chest goes upstairs, right?
For Pete's sake, helping them move...
This goes in the older sister's room, right?
Where's your room?
My room isn't here! It's at Minamoto's place!
I see. Sorry.
People with psychic powers have it tough.
But don't let it get you down.
One day, someone will appear who will understand you completely.
Completely?
Indeed! Like the deep love that binds Naomi and I together
harder, stronger, and hotter than even the bonds of family!
Heavy!
Excuse me, Supervisor Tanizaki. My hand must have slipped.
Heavy... Excuse me, Supervisor Tanizaki. My hand must have slipped.
It's okay...
Found you.
No matter where you go, you can't escape me.
I have my reasons. Problem?
I'll have it all.
Whew! The move's all done.
We getting some post-move soba to eat?
Yeah, why don't we go out for something good to eat?
Leave it to the big star!
Mom, Sis, since we're all together
as a family for once, why don't we three-
What do you like, Mr. Minamoto?
Um, anything's fine with me...
You can eat me up, if you want. Um, anything's fine with me...
You can eat me up, if you want.
Say-
Why don't we get a hotel suite now and all stay there?
A suite?
We can have room service bring us dinner!
Why don't we get a room with a jacuzzi and have a bath?
A bath?
Um, if you're gonna do that, I'd better go.
Mr. Minamoto could join us if we wear swim suits, right?
It'll be so much fun!
PSYCHIC DOMESTIC VIOLENCE!
Kaoru!
Mom, Sis... Cut it out!
Kaoru...
Why don't you stop using Minamoto as an excuse and just tell the truth?!
You wanting to go out to eat and stay at a hotel with everyone...
You keep saying that, but all it really means...
is that you don't want to be in this house with me!
You always do this! Even when I come home occasionally,
you're busy with work or a group date and the house is empty!
If you hate being with me that much,
just come out and say it already!
Kaoru... Kaoru...
You're so scared of my powers
that you can't scold me, no matter what I do, can you?!
That's not family!
That's over the line, you idiot.
Minamoto... You're an idiot, too.
Kaoru! Kaoru!
Aoi, Shiho, we have to go after her!
Mr. Minamoto...
Take good care of her, please.
Ma'am?
You see, don't you? We may be family,
but we can't handle a real fight with her.
You can't!
I understand, but it isn't that simple.
Let's go!
Faster! Faster!
We already received word that the move's finished, sir.
It's not that. If we show her that we're sincerely coming to help,
that'll get me in Ms. Akie's good graces, won't it?
By the way, why is Sakaki coming along with us?
Deliciousness that brings you back to life! You can live, even when you're dead!
You, too?!
Kaoru, your powers are just too strong.
For the other childrens' safety, you can't go.
Other children..? But, what about me?
Don't I matter?
Stupid.
Nice view, isn't it?
Mr. Hyobu?!
We're very much alike, you and I.
No place where we really belong.
Only an esper can understand what it's like to be an esper.
Not even parents and siblings can.
I'm always watching over you.
'Cuz he's a lolicon.
R-Really?
Don't say stuff that she'll misinterpret!
What's to misinterpret? You're a total perv!
OW! Leggo!
Kaoru! Get away from him!
Minamoto!
Kaoru!
Hello, my dear Minamoto. You're looking well.
Shut up, criminal!
With that, I think I'll take my leave for today.
However, if you should find yourself with no place to go...
We can treat you like a little sister.
Don't listen to him, Kaoru!
A water pistol, again?!
You are so unoriginal!
Don't forget, I'm always ready to welcome you.
And I'm more fun to live with than the kid down there.
Let's go back, Kaoru. Everyone's...
Your mom and sister are worried, too.
Who'd want to go back to their house?
Kaoru...
Yes? Huh?!
We can't find Akie or Yoshimi anywhere!
Dammit, where's my Yoshimi?!
Where's my real, in-the-flesh Yoshimi gone?!
According to Dr. Sakaki's psychometry,
they were definitely taken by several men.
Young Mr. Kobayashi, move out!
Mom and Sis?!
Let's go, Kaoru!
Black minivan... Coast... Warehouse...
Check for any warehouses on the coast!
Satellite imagery, coming up.
Found it. Sending coordinates.
The Children have arrived in the airspace over the site.
Send them in!
The Children, released!
<> The Children, released!
LET'S GO!
Going after my family is a little over the line!
Beautiful, sexy, and absolutely lovely! That's us!
We'll send you to paradise!
Special espers, The Children, have arrived!
Kaoru? Kaoru?
Mom? Sis?
You, in the glasses! Look over here!
Who, me?
I like that quiet-looking one!
Me?
What? It's a photo shoot?
Hey pops, move! What? It's a photo shoot?
Pops?
The lively-looking one isn't bad, either.
Wait! What are you doing?!
Even if they did take us against our will...
...you have to value the fans!
You're nuts!
Miss!
Please shake my hand! Please shake my hand!
An esper with tracking powers.
He finds out where celebrities live, sells that to the fans
and then they force them to do photo shoots!
I get it. So, the big man's here, too?
Where is he now?
There!
Gulp!
You're the ringleader?!
If you want to catch me, just try it!
How dare you do this to my family!
I'll make you regret it with all your might!
Kaoru, wait!
Kaoru!
Kaoru, cut it out!
I... I'm sorry...
SHUDDER
Is Ms. Akie all right?! Is Yoshimi all right?!
Secure everyone! Confiscate all film!
Wipe all data!
I want binding confidentiality agreements read, signed, and sealed!
Read them the riot act!
Everyone!
We'd really appreciate it if you helped us out with this.
We like to cherish our family time. You understand, right?
Okay!
OKAY! Okay!
Thank you, Kaoru.
We were saved, thanks to you.
You're amazing, like you always are.
Look... I'm sorry about what I said before.
No, it's all right.
I'm sorry that you can't live with us usually.
And what happened before, I thought I'd be home sooner, but...
No, I'm fine. It's all right. Don't worry about it.
Minamoto! Let's all go home.
Kaoru... Kaoru...
Kaoru.
You have psychic powers.
And they're the most powerful in the world.
Anybody would be scared of them. Even me.
Minamoto...
But do you think I hate you?
Uh-uh.
That's all there is to it.
When you're a little more grown-up, that'll all pass, won't it?
Try to understand the weaknesses of regular people.
The weaknesses of regular people...
Minamoto... I'm spending the night with them.
Kaoru...
Family relationships... The special bond you have with your mother and sister...
can't be broken by any psychic power.
Hey, let's all take a bath together when we go home.
Sure. Of course.
Wow, I feel like I should be paying money for that.
"My mom and sister and I have all kinds of problems,
THEME: "FAMILY" "My mom and sister and I have all kinds of problems,
THEME: "FAMILY" "but I think we'll be able to overcome them."
THEME: "FAMILY" "Because they're my family, and they're important to me."
"I also have another family."
"We fight sometimes, but they're important to me, too."
"We also have a 20-year-old guy named Minamoto."
"As for Minamoto..."
When you're a little more grown-up, that'll all pass, won't it?
"As for Minamoto, he licks his lips and eagerly awaits the day...
"when I'm grown up and as lively and big-boobed as my mom and sister!"
I hope somebody somewhere reports this Minamoto guy.
Is somebody spreading rumors about me?
There's no point in hiding it
I know everything
It's no mystery, because
I love you
Go on, look at me
Truly, the bond of love we share
Is absolute!
An eternal, unchanging
Absolute declaration to the world I'll shout from Everest!
I've accepted it
The bond of love we share
Is absolute!
My wish, when fortune smiles on me
In San Pietro, I'll swear it to you
An absolute declaration of love!
NEXT EPISODE
Next time, on Zettai Karen Children!
You're making Shiho do this?!
If they have the power to solve this case,
then it is their duty as a citizen and as an esper!
Isn't that right, Shiho?
Yes, Daddy.
D-Daddy?!
Zettai Karen Children!
