Yutaka! We're gonna get going pretty soon!
There.
Now, my dear younger sister!
Your new life starts today!
Let's go with some enthusiasm!
Under One Roof
I'm here to report Yutaka's acceptance, and to say hi!
Oh, welcome!
Now, Yutaka...
I'm sure I will be causing many problems from now on,
but I give my best regards!
Just think of this as your own home.
Okay!
First of all, congratulations on getting accepted!
Thanks!
Really, I'm so glad she got in!
Now you can be reunited with that handkerchief girl!
My life is just that of a winner's! Now you can be reunited with that handkerchief girl!
My life is just that of a winner's! Yeah!
Going back in time
The day of Yutaka's entrance exams
Um, are you all right?
Do you want me to go to the nurse's office with you?
Immediately after that entrance exam
So she called out to me, and even lent me her handkerchief.
I'm happy because I think I'll have a very good friend now!
But, Yutaka, she might not get in.
That's not true! People like that are sure to get in!
I understand how you feel, but...
I'm sure that she's smart too!
Thanks for the completely baseless counter-argument.
But you know, Yu-chan...
What are you going to do if you don't get in, Yu-chan?
It's true that there is that possibility...
Well, I'm sure that if it's you, Yu-chan, you'd be all right.
That's right! Maybe I'll get to see her one way or the other,
on the day they announce who got in!
I see...
I have to return the handkerchief to her.
Acceptances and rejections will both be notified by mail.
And...
Orientation and Uniform Fitting Day
Um...
Here...
I'm so glad to see you.
I've been wanting to return this to you all this time.
You came to deliver this?
Yes.
I guess I troubled you instead.
I didn't think I would see you again,
so I had intended to give it to you.
You thought that I wouldn't get accepted?
No...
Oh, I see.
The fact that you're here now means we're in the same grade.
I'm sorry.
Oh... you had thought that I was a family member
of someone taking the entrance exams...
My family is picking me up today.
Oh, okay.
Then I'll say goodbye here.
Um...
I give you my best regards for the next three years!
I'm so glad.
Making such a wonderful friend in high school already!
I forgot to ask her name...
Turning back time
When you see her again, make sure to ask for her name.
Present
Yeah.
Yu-chan, are you feeling sick, by chance?
Yeah... I think I got a bit carsick.
Even though I took medication...
I'm sorry to worry you.
Yutaka really is a frail girl!
No, while that's indeed the case,
I'll rub your back.
but Sis, recognize that it's also partly your driving!
Thank you!
It even gets to me a little.
But I'm the only one going to Ryouou from my junior high.
I get sick really easily like today, too,
so I'm worried on whether or not I'll get to know my classmates.
Yutaka, you're a good girl, so it'll be all right!
You're treating me like a little child!
Weak from illnesses
Little sister element
Conversion in my head.
Pure
Cute
walking moe factor
Yu-chan, if you teamed up with our Miyuki-san,
I'm sure it would be something amazing.
That's right... I'm already at Konata-oneechan's house now...
Sis, good morning.
- You're up so early, even on a holiday.
- Oh, morning. - You're up so early, even on a holiday.
- Oh, morning.
Or rather, I'm about to go to sleep now.
I was up all night playing net-games...
My living conditions really did change!
We're finally going to be facing college entrance exams next year.
All the cram schools and textbook salespeople are calling lately.
It's a real pain.
I hear that you can tell it's those calls if you get Caller ID.
Those types of calls usually have their numbers as "restricted".
I'm home!
Caller ID, huh...
I have returned home!
Oh, is that so?
That must have been some trouble!
No, no, we're like that ourselves.
Yes, yes...
Now, since my daughter is back... Yes, then on another occasion.
Please excuse me.
Who was it?
It seemed like you were having a lively conversation.
It was a salesperson.
Um, didn't you mention that you could recognize
those types of calls right away?
Yes, but you see,
I was a bit bored, so I wanted to have a conversation.
I ended up talking for over an hour.
For both items together, the total is...
What was that about winning the national championship?!
What's wrong, Kona-chan? What was that about winning the national championship?!
What's wrong, Kona-chan?
Tsukasa, the world is always at war. There's no mercy!
The other day, there was a point- reward item that I kinda wanted...
Should I redeem it here...
I thought about playing offense or defense,
No, no, there's other things that I want.
All right!
I'll play offense!
and in the end redeemed it...
But now, there's an new item out that I want right away!
See, that one over there!
I don't have enough points left! What should I do?!
You really enjoy life, don't you...
Um, your total...
Which would you like, smoking, or non-smoking?
Um, since we're underage, we'd like the non-smoking seats.
Then, this way.
Oh, I'm going to go to the bathroom first.
Sure.
Hey, Tsukasa, over here!
Welcome back.
I'm back!
Um, I always think about this,
but why are bathrooms in places like this
often located on the same side as the smoking seats?
That's true...
We're going out of our way to pick the non-smoking seats, too.
But seriously, I wonder why that is?
Of course, it's because it's better to be closer to water
in case someone causes a fire or something.
They have buckets and hoses and stuff.
Oh, they have hoses too?
They do. Of course they do.
This is why people who never contribute any labor to society
are so troublesome. Oh, brother.
Shut up!
It's like putting a lid on a bad odor?
Or rather, let's stop this conversation during a meal.
Bad smells and toilets and all.
Today, in the metropolitan area, there has been a series of incidents
where elementary school girls were called over from behind
by a stranger while on their way to school.
Criminal cases that target children have been on the rise lately.
The academic committee informed all elementary schools to be on guard. Criminal cases that target children have been on the rise lately.
The academic committee informed all elementary schools to be on guard. You should be careful too, Yu-chan.
The police, acting upon reports that... You should be careful too, Yu-chan.
The police, acting upon reports that... You're right.
The police, acting upon reports that... Unforgivable!
Though, I have to say I can understand how he feels...
You understand?
They're making such a big deal of it every day like this!
It's sad to think that there is someone
who would still call over children they don't know!
I would like to say one thing to them!
"Aren't you jealous of me?"
I don't know what you're thinking about,
but please don't do anything that would get Sis Yui to arrest you.
Lucky Star!
Excuse me!
Yes!
Yoohoo! I'm here!
Welcome!
By the way, where's Kagami today?
She's out with friends from her class.
I see...
It's... somehow... frustrating, or rather, a bit lacking...
You're lonely, aren't you?
It's gotten really warm lately.
It has.
There's no homework during spring break, so it's so peaceful.
It is.
A line like that is reserved for someone who always does their best
to finish her homework by herself, I think.
Don't hit somewhere strange!
Impossible?!
You know, when you play robot games like this,
do you know who all the characters are and stuff?
Yeah, to a certain extent.
I see...
You said that your tastes in manga and anime
He completely burnt out, and turned into white ash. You said that your tastes in manga and anime
He completely burnt out, and turned into white ash. have been affected by your dad, come to think of it.
Okay! have been affected by your dad, come to think of it.
Okay! Yup, yup.
Then, when you were young,
you weren't able to keep up with all the conversations that girls had?
Why? I had more chances to see that kind of stuff,
so I could totally keep up, you know?
Eh? Uh... Is that so? Wait...
Is that your final answer?
It's my final answer!
What a pause... It really gets to me.
His face is scary, and it's so huge!
Oh... looking at the time,
I'm sure she got this question wrong. It's the end of the show.
Wait a minute, Tsukasa!
Quit using the time left until the commercial
to guess whether they got the right answer!
But I can't bear all the suspense!
They drag it on for so long, too!
The show is all about enjoying that!
But that's so like Tsukasa.
S'up.
Yoohoo!
Let me introduce you. This is my cousin, Yu-chan.
Pleased to meet you. My name is Yutaka Kobayakawa.
My friends, Tsukasa and Kagami.
Oh, these two are the ones that Sis is always talking about.
Oh? I wonder what she says about us?
What kind of stuff have you been telling her?
Though I can tell from her reaction...
See? Isn't it just like I told you?
Yutaka-chan, are you done with your graduation ceremony already?
Oh, yes, it was the other day.
Graduation! That really takes me back.
I don't remember my graduation.
Yutaka-chan, did you get the second button from the top from any guys?
No, no, nothing like that.
Our junior high uniform tops were blazers.
Come to think of it, lots of schools are like that these days.
Or maybe they don't do all the
"receive something from the person you're interested in" stuff anymore?
You think so? That's a bit lonely...
Though I didn't do any of that, either.
When I look at blogs on the 'net,
there's still some of it going on, more or less.
I see.
But that's all about getting something from the guy you like, right?
Well, I think that's how it is.
Then, at the point that you go to get it,
you're basically confessing your love to him,
so why don't you ask him out properly,
and get the actual person, and not just a button?
Gotcha! and get the actual person, and not just a button?
Well, that's the ideal, if you talk about ideals...
That's right! Yutaka-chan, weren't you interested in someone or anything?
Oh, no, no.
I used to stay home from school sick a lot,
and even when I attended, I would get sick really soon...
I really dragged down the atmosphere around me.
Besides, I'm really short, too,
and my physique is so childish...
People always used to make fun of me.
Nothing like falling in love with someone, or someone falling for me.
It's all right! Yu-chan, as long as you don't choose your partner,
there's a big need for you!
Need?!
Po-cky.
Yu-chan, let me see your yearbook.
Oh, I wanna see the yearbook.
It's kind of embarrassing.
I'm not in that many pictures, either.
What class were you in, Yu-chan?
You looked at the round circles they use for
people who were absent on picture day before you asked, didn't you?
Oh, you figured that out after all?
The difference between junior high and high school?
Yeah.
Like, where you're not forced to join an extracurricular club?
Doesn't that depend on your school?
We're a prep school,
so the curriculum may be wider and more fast-paced than in junior high.
And it takes time to commute to school,
so it will take a bit of stamina, maybe?
One definite difference would be that the farther you move up,
from elementary to junior high to high school,
is that you spend more time sleeping in class.
Especially on the subjects you're not good at!
Oh, that might be right!
The teacher starts sounding like they're talking a different language,
and when that happens your consciousness starts to drift away! Just make sure that you don't end up like that, no matter what you do.
and when that happens your consciousness starts to drift away! Right...
Oh, Yu-chan, you brought your junior high uniform?
Yeah. Our uniform was pretty plain,
so I thought I'd be able to wear it as street clothes,
since this isn't my home area.
I see...
Kagami, what did you guys do with your uniforms and stuff?
We gave them to younger girls in our neighborhood.
What about you?
Mine?
Though I'm sure you couldn't find anyone to give yours to.
Shut up! How rude!
Me, I'm like Yu-chan, and took the effort to keep it for cosplay purposes!
Cos?!
When you put it that way, it sounds really bad. Cos?!
When you put it that way, it sounds really bad.
I mean, it's cosplay.
But in any case, our alma mater...
When we talk about stuff like this,
it makes me want to drop by my elementary or junior high and say hi.
But there have been a lot of run-ins and strange campus visitation cases,
so it would be bad to be misunderstood and get weird looks...
Well, in your case, you won't have to worry about that at all.
Am I right in assuming that wasn't a compliment?
But vacation sure passes by quickly.
You're right. Before you know it, school's about to start again.
Spring has those physical exams and fitness tests of all sorts...
They're a pain.
But Kona-chan, you have good motor nerves. I'm jealous.
Hey, Tsukasa...
Which nerves are the motor nerves, anyway?
Hello, everyone!
Sorry I'm late, but Yutaka, congratulations on graduating!
Oh, Sis, welcome.
Since we're celebrating a graduation today,
let's all go drinking together!
We'll invite Uncle, too! It'll be my treat!
Sis... No, that's not good, Sis! We'll invite Uncle, too! It'll be my treat!
Sis... No, that's not good, Sis! Oh!
Sis... No, that's not good, Sis!
You mean juice, right?
Officer, we're still underage...
You shouldn't do that, Sis! Officer, we're still underage...
Sis, I don't think we can go in places like that yet!
They won't catch on if you go in with your head held up high!
I used to do it all the time back when I was a student,
but I was never caught once!
- All right!
So you did it, huh?
- No, no, no, we can't possibly do that, Sis! - All right!
No, I'm sure they'll catch on, mostly thanks to your two relatives. - No, no, no, we can't possibly do that, Sis! - All right!
No, I'm sure they'll catch on, mostly thanks to your two relatives. - No, no, no, we can't possibly do that, Sis!
I see...
Don't sweat it.
Now that Yu-chan is with us,
wanna go to Land for once?
It's spring vacation, after all.
Oh!
Um... I'm very happy about that,
but since I'm imposing on you by staying here,
I don't need you to worry about me so much...
And actually, I went there the other day as a school field trip.
Oh, come to think of it, I had a field trip like that too.
But, Yu-chan, were you all right?
Yeah. My health kept up with me, and it was fun.
I was with my friends, too.
No... More like the height restrictions on the rides...
Of all things! I was fine! I'm in high school now, okay?
And so... I was thinking as I was watching those school drama series,
junior high and high school are different in all sorts of ways, right?
Well, yeah.
You don't have class meals in high school, right?
Oh, that's right.
It's mostly your own lunches, or meals at the school cafeteria.
That, and buying boxed lunches.
Do you make lunch every day, Sis?
Well, yeah.
Wow, amazing!
It looks like things will be tough from now on...
She's really good at games and stuff.
She has a very wide range of communication.
She can cook and do household chores!
Lately, I'm starting to understand the pressure you feel as an older sister.
When she looks at me like that, I've got to give it my best.
Right, Kagami?
Huh?
Sis Yui driving the car recklessly.
Heya! You doin' good?
Sis Yui getting drunk and coming back to her family home.
Homework? It's fine as long as you write something vague!
Sis Yui being rather irresponsible for all sorts of things.
But... I wonder if it all depends on the person?
For starters, talk so I can understand you.
Lucky Star!
It's my final answer!
Oh, dammit...
I seriously can't put up with all of this.
I thought I finally got around to showing up,
She's irritated today... I thought I finally got around to showing up,
but when I checked the recording, I'm not on screen at all!
Do it... Should I do it? but when I checked the recording, I'm not on screen at all!
Do it... Should I do it? What are they thinking when they make the show...
Why do I have to fall behind all those idiots who have no sense or talent...
Akira-sama, call the title! Call the title! Why do I have to fall behind all those idiots who have no sense or talent...
Huh?
Uh... Please call the title...
Her eyes are so tiny!
Morning luckies.
I don't have time for stuff like that.
It's impossible! I'm disgusted!
Just my voice, just my voice! There's no point in that!
Um, I wasn't on screen, either.
I couldn't care less about you!
What wind!
You know, did I ask about you right now? Huh?
Did I bring you up even this much in the conversation right now?
Uh... No, not one word about me.
Then why do you stick your face in there?
Why do you come sauntering out?
Are you stupid?
You always, always butt in with your me-me-me thing...
That's what you call self-centered!
You should just stay back! Someone as lowly as you, Shiraishi!
Oh, my mouth is going to rot!
Look here, okay? The problem at hand is that I, Akira Kogami,
was not shown on screen in the main segment.
That's right... was not shown on screen in the main segment.
That's right... I ask you, what am I? I'm an idol, right?
When you mention an idol, your face is your life!
It's all about showing up on screen... What do you think?
Yes. You are absolutely right.
I can't hear you.
What the staff for this episode did is completely inexcusable!
Oh? What are you writing?
Akira Kogami
Revenge
Plan for a perfect appearance in the main segment!!!
So, Akira is asking of you!
So that Akira can show up in the main segment,
The world is SAMURAl-ing for Akira! Please send lots of support through the homepage or by letters!
everyone's help is necessary!
So, putting it straight, I'd like your support!
Putting it straight... So, putting it straight, I'd like your support!
Putting it straight... Any method is okay! In any case, just keep pushing harder and harder!
I really want you to see Akira's fine acting
as a top-rate actress in the main segment!
A "want" call... as a top-rate actress in the main segment!
A "want" call... Well, speaking just between you and me,
comparing the other cast members to the charm of me, Akira,
there is a giant wall as big as that between
an Oscar-winning Hollywood actress and a kindergarten class skit!
Desperate... Now she's desperate... an Oscar-winning Hollywood actress and a kindergarten class skit!
You there, that wants to see lots of that pretty, gorgeous acting!
The chance is right in front of you!
Don't overlook it! Your one letter! Your one homepage comment!
They'll all come true with Akira in the main segment of Lucky Star!
Eh? Is something wrong? They'll all come true with Akira in the main segment of Lucky Star!
So when this broadcast is over,
What? Stop her? So when this broadcast is over,
Akira-sama, um... you should get a postcard ready, or your computer...
Shut up! Why are you chit-chatting with me now?!
This is the good part!
How many times do I have to tell you to not get in my way...
Oh? Already? Oh, I wanted all of you to know
so much more about how fabulous Akira is...
I'll show you all lots of my true charm next week in the main segment!
Just kidding!
Well... Please look forward to the next episode...
Bye-nee!
Oh, it's over. It's so painful.
Hey you, get the producer over here.
Eh? Who, me?
In the first place, this week's corrected script is wrong.
What is the title of this segment?
Well, um, it's Lucky Channel.
The script said "Lucky Paradise."
Well, um... What is it?
Furthermore! They have some nerve to treat me that way!
Just because the previous show he worked on was a hit!
No... I think you shouldn't be saying something like that... Isn't the producer getting full of it? Like, full of it!
Mr. Miyagi!
Hello! This is Minoru Shiraishi!
Now, then, I'd like you to listen up!
I was spending my days wishing for excitement
Who was it that granted my wish?
A future that you seemingly (can predict) but can't
Even then, I know one thing
To the end of time, BOOOON!
This feeling that is a warp and a loop
With an imagination that engulfs anything and everything, let's play
Something on one sunny day, more fun than any magic possible
Endlessly pours down, it's not impossible
When we see each other tomorrow, we're all humming as we smile
Let's gather happiness, such a thing is so easy
Chase after me, try to catch it
A big dream... You like dreams, right?
The End
Next Episode Preview
Now, what's up with the next episode of Lucky Star?
I am Minami Iwasaki.
I am Yutaka Kobayakawa.
Iwasaki-san, apparently the two of us
are supposed to introduce the next episode.
Do you know what it's about?
I don't know. I'm sorry.
Eh? Really? That's rather troublesome...
I don't know anything about it either.
Then I guess I'll wrap it up now.
I Can't Suddenly Change
Next episode: I Can't Suddenly Change
We haven't said anything. I wonder if it's all right?
Please look forward to it.
