What do we do?
To be able to protect everyone?
Wait a minute! We're gonna talk it over
Grownups are so busy
So busy
We can't count on them
That's right
This town
We'll help it with Colors Power!
Pin-pin-pinches come suddenly
And so!
And so?
You know!
Gear up?
We have to stay on guard every day
It looks like our chance
Which is it?
I'm not sure!
Go on, think
But you know!
Basically
You don't know until you try
Peace of mind is far away
Is what I hear my heart say
Now be sneaky and bold
And do your best!
What times, what times, are the most fun?
We'll have to investigate more and more
Do grownups have the energy? They don't have energy
Kids have energy!
So leave it all to us!
We'll do our part with Colors Power!
Three-Stars Jump!
It made an emergency landing!
They don't fly very far.
I'll go next.
Because whoever's flies farthest gets to pick their favorite.
Hiya!
Whoa, that one really flew!
No! I lost!
I'm next!
It's all about the wind.
Oh, the wind.
No, Koto-chan! Don't give her hints!
Yah!
Go! You can do it!
Fall!
FALL!
Why did you take it?!
Yui's last place!
Stupid Saito-san!
What do you kids think you're doing?
Okay, I was first. Let me choose.
I don't know what any of this stuff is.
This could be good!
It looks cool!
Nice! I like that one!
Leave something good for me, too!
Rah!
Hey. Don't hit anybody with that.
Is there anything else good in here?
What's this?
A card game?
That's Menko.
Menko?
You lay the cards out on the ground, then you throw one down at them.
And whoever flips over the most cards wins.
I think that's how it's played.
Let's try it!
These cards don't flip over at all!
Okay, my turn.
Did you get all this from Pops?
He said it's all the stuff he played with when he was a kid.
It's so retro.
I knew they wouldn't flip over!
Yeah!
What's so fun about this, anyway?
Dangit, kendama!
This is pretty good.
That's not how kendama works.
Ugh.
Let's pick something else.
Yeah.
I like it.
That's not how kendama works.
What's this?
I know that one!
You have to blow.
Not like that.
You blow into this thing.
I see!
Here goes!
Oh, wait, wait!
Let's see here.
Go!
Oh, are these those supercar erasers?
It won't fly!
Oh, I think this is...
You're doing it AGAIN?!
Come on, let’s stop this already.
Well, whatever. Come on, let’s stop this already.
Well, whatever.
Oh, no!
How do you spin a top again?
What's-so-fun-about-this attack!
"How to spin a top"...
One more time!
I see.
What's-so-fun-about-this return!
Okay.
Kendama!
I told you that's not how kendama works!
Here goes!
You busted it.
Sorry. Reflex.
That's okay! We didn't really get it anyway.
We don't really get any of this stuff.
Did you find anything fun?
Nope!
I wonder if Pops was trying to tell us that he didn't have fun as a kid.
Poor Pops.
I guess we'll have to go play with him sometime!
Is that kendama fun?
Yeah, this one was good.
Koto-chan, let me try!
Here.
Oh, yay!
Oh. Not bad. Oh, yay!
Oh. Not bad.
Th-that's just too sad!
The Poor Elephants
Did you guys know about this book?
This elephant story...
It's just zoo sad!
Huh? Is that a joke?
And she likes it.
What happens in it?
There was a war, so they decided to kill the elephants by poisoning their food.
But they have really long noses,
so they smell really well and knew it was poisoned, so they didn't eat it.
And they died of mal-peanut-rition.
Ugh! Stop putting gags in the sad stories!
That didn't make sense.
I'll just read it myself.
It happened during the war.
The people were afraid of what would happen if the cages at the Ueno Zoo broke open in an air raid.
So they had to kill the animals.
Lions, tigers, bears were all given poison and died.
Then it was the elephants' turn.
But the clever elephants smelled the poison in the food and refused to eat it.
The zookeepers had no choice but to stop giving them food and water altogether.
The elephants quickly grew thinner and thinner.
Nevertheless, whenever someone passed by their cage,
they would gather up all their strength to raise their trunks,
performing the tricks that used to earn them food.
Eventually, the elephants starved to death.
They died with their trunks stretched out, still trying to perform their old tricks.
Poor... poor elephants!
It's just too sad!
Let me see.
O-okay...
I know!
Let's go to the zoo right now!
Yeah! I want to go, too!
You want to go, too, right, Kotoha?
The Poor Elephants
I do.
Are you crying?
I'm not crying.
Okay! First we'll stop at my house!
Ameyoko
Kise Fruits
I'm home!
Hello!
Oh, welcome back! And hello, girls.
Be back later!
Goodbye!
Uh, o-okay.
See you later!
What were they even doing here?
Ueno Zoo
Kids through sixth grade get in free?
I knew it would be cheaper because we're kids, but I didn't expect THIS.
When I came here on that field trip, I didn't realize it was free.
This must mean...
The animals aren't getting any food! I just know it!
That's terrible!
We are the peacekeepers of this town!
Colors!
Our mission is to make sure the animals are alive and well!
Right!
Do we really get in free?
Three children, please!
Yes, go right on in.
Okay, we're on our way, pitiful elephants!
Piti-phants for short!
Don't shorten it!
They have pandas!
What?!
It's a panda! A real panda!
A pandy in full view! A full panty!
She thinks it's funny!
And there's a flash panty!
Sat-chan, settle down!
Huh?
Hey, that panda is eating.
Yeah.
Come on, don't be such a slacker!
Get off your grass and start eating that bamboo!
'Cause it's a grass.
Was that funny?
It says symmetry tiger!
Sumatran Tiger
It's the same backwards and forwards!
That's not what it says.
It's so cool.
It's a bone!
See? This is what happens when you don't feed the animals.
What? You don't mean that that bone is from a person?
That bone is pretty big.
If I know one person in this town who's pretty big...
You don't mean...!
Pops!
I have no choice.
What?
I will defeat that tiger.
What?!
She's right! We are the peacekeepers of this town!
Colors!
We will avenge Pops's death!
What?!
Sat-chan, you go around. I'll take it from behind.
You got it! Just you wait, Pops!
We're on our way!
Today, I will defeat a tiger!
But I think we're already too late.
Wait, Kotoha!
Take that!
See? That's how it's done!
Um, can I go now?
So you couldn't get in.
Aww.
Dammit, we couldn't save Pops.
Nocturnal house?
This looks interesting!
What? No, let's go somewhere else.
Let's go in.
Going in!
Wait!
Wait for me!
No! NO!
Something's flying!
They're under me, too!
You see anything?
No, it was too dark in there.
There were things! Lots of things!
Over there!
Yeah, I see it.
Wow.
It looked this way!
Come over here!
Monorail Platform
It's free to get in the zoo, but not to use the monorail?
It's about the same as taking the subway. But there's only one station.
Extortion.
Sorry about that.
The zoo doesn't own the monorail.
And by the way, this was the first monorail in Japan.
We have to.
If it will help the animals to get even a little more food.
Yeah. It's for the animals.
So that Pops will no longer have to be sacrificed.
No, I told you, the zoo doesn't make any money from...
Oh. It's a human.
It is! There are humans at this zoo, too?
That's just a normal walkway, right?
Monorail West Park Station
Penguins!
Kangaroos!
Flamingos!
What IS this one?
It's a weird bird.
With a weird face.
How to identify a Shoebill
Showy... bill...
Shoob... ill?
Shoe bill?
Hey, look over here!
Hey!
Come on, are you free right now?
Excuse me!
It won't react!
Woh-pah!
Huh?
Hyaa!
HYAAAH!
It's not working.
Nope.
Not working.
Oh, look! What's that?
Right this way for your guided tour!
Guided tour?
Animal Eating Habits
Today our theme is animal eating habits.
You know there was a tiger eating a guy over there.
What?!
Oh, you mean that bone?
Guided Tour Meeting Point
Don't worry. That was a cow bone.
It's eating a cow, and you're telling us NOT to worry?!
Huh?
Mm-hm, yeah!
That didn't make it better?
Well cows are animals, too!
I thought this was a zoo!
Mm-hm, yeah!
Uh, well...
Well what about pandas?
All they eat is bamboo, but it costs more than ten thousand yen a day.
Isn't that amazing?
Ten thousand yen?
Incidentally, my daily eating expenses are five hundred yen.
Are the pandas making you poor?
No, I wouldn't say...
We have to check on all the other animals!
You're right, Leader! Let's go!
Yeah! What? Don't you want a tour?
It's a sheep!
It's a goat.
It's a Genghis Khan!
How do you know the difference?
Flavor.
It stinks! It's a Genghis Khan!
Come now and you can hold a house mouse!
Would anyone like to try it?
What?
We can hold them?
It's so little! So cute!
House mice are fully grown and can have babies at two months old.
They multiply very quickly.
I thought so.
Huh? What is it, Kotoha?
They multiply quickly, but there are only a few here.
I bet they're using these house mice as food for the other animals.
What?!
That's how they can afford to let people in for free!
Is that true?
Free, huh?
Excuse me, everyone. We don't do that. Free, huh?
Excuse me, everyone. We don't do that.
He looks a little like Saito.
That's the face of a liar.
Yeah.
You may be right.
What?
Look over here.
Is that Pops?
Note: A character in a folktale who rescues a turtle that then in turn takes him to an ocean palace.
I'm gonna be Urashima!
It looks good, Kotoha!
It's so tall!
Oh! Did it just poop?
Jeez, you don't have to say that, Sat-chan.
Come to think of it, that's the first time I said poop all day!
You're right! That's unusual.
The zoo sure is a lot of fun!
Yeah!
Next time, I'll beat that tiger.
The tiger and all the other animals were getting enough to eat.
Yup! And they were pooping, too!
But that ain't the point!
What's wrong, Sat-chan?
It's not relephant...
It's elephant!
Huh?
The elephants!
We haven't seen the elephants!
Oh yeah, elephants! I forgot!
As we stand here talking...
the piti-phants might be starving to death!
Says the girl who raced off to see the pandas.
Let's see, the elephants are...
By the entrance!
Elephants!
We're stampeding your way!
We're coming, elephants!
Just you weight!
We're coming!
Keep your trunks on!
Elephants...
Sat-chan!
I finally found you!
My piti-phants!
They look healthy!
What a relief. They're getting enough to eat.
Yeah!
But their skin's so dry and leathery.
They should see the pachy-dermatologist.
Am I right?
Huh?
They're huge. They must be strong.
But I guess that's a wasted apple. I brought it in case they weren't doing so good.
Is that why we stopped by your house?
But you shouldn't feed them without permission.
I know that! There's only one thing to do.
Food coming your way!
Announcing it doesn't make it better!
It ate it!
That's so cool!
In one bite!
Did you like my family's apple?
I'll bring more, so wait with your nose outstretched!
'Cause you're an elephant!
That's ARMS outstretched!
It's waving its trunk!
It's a happy-derm.
Am I right?
Huh?
Caution Please do not feed the animals.
Our sparkling signal is the first star
Oops, time to go home
Later, Colors!
The peace is kept another day
We did it!
Total victory for us!
A chu-chu-cabrilla out on a walk
Take that! Extra virgin oil!
We're really busy every day
Cases from level one to how high?
We'll solve any mystery!
I've beat this game!
There it is!
Call us again when you're in a pinch!
For the peace of this town!
Saying, "Ready, go!" with the orange sky
Let's go home together
Tomorrow we can probably have even more excitement
We all dash to meet at the hideout
Goodbye, sun. Goodnight, town
I can't wait for tomorrow
My heart won't stop skipping in excitement
Another day and all's well!
See you tomorrow!
One more time!
See you tomorrow!
Well, we took a break last week, but this week, we're having our Colors Evaluation Meeting!
We'll start with you, Kotoha!
You know what my biggest regret for today was.
I couldn't save Pops from the tiger at the zoo.
Now he's just bones!
Huh? But on the way home, we saw him in front of his shop, didn't we?
I believe that when he gave me the kendama earlier, he wanted me to use it to save him.
It was an SOS.
Oh, is THAT what it was?!
But we saw Pops, didn't we?
What a shame. We lost our dear, dear Pops.
Maybe I was the only one who saw him.
Don't tell me that was Pops's ghost?!
Um, Sat-chan, what do you have to say?
I got to feed the piti-phants, so it was a good day!
But you're not really supposed to feed them.
And I got to see a lot of animals poop, so it was a good day!
Poop again...
Don't you have anything to say, Yui?
Um, well, I...
I was really happy to get to go to the zoo with-
