I'll be the one
I guess you were lost when I met you
Still there were tears in your eyes
So out of trust and I knew
No more than mysteries and lies
There you were, wild and free
Reachin' out like you needed me
A helping hand to make it right
I am holding you all through the night
I'll be the one. I'll be the one
Who will make all your sorrows undone
I'll be the light. I'll be the light
When you feel like there's nowhere to run
I'll be the one
I'll be the light
Where you can run
To make it alright
OLD MAN WILLY
There it is, I-chan!
Over there!
Look.
Thank goodness.
Mom would've killed me if I had lost that.
Say I-chan, did you know?
Apparently a dozaemon was found here last week.
Dozaemon? Who's that?
It means a drowned body.
And it seems he was attacked by a water demon.
Water demon?
Apparently, it stuck its hand up his ass,
and then removed everything out from inside him.
Wh-Why would it do something like that?
How should I know?!
But it seems like his intestines were hanging out of his ass
and he died with an extremely painful expression on his face.
No way! That's scary!
You can see ghosts, right, I-chan?
Could it be that there's a ghost with its intestines hanging out of its ass...
I really don't want to see something like that! Stop it!
Wh-What s wrong?
Don't scare me.
Who's there?
I-I thought there was a ghost or something...
Boo!
Don't come near me, Dozaemon!
Coming back so late at night! Geez!
That hurts!
You left both Jiro and the fishing equipment behind?
That's because...
Ouch!
You're such a useless moron.
Shut up, Fugly!
Poor little Jiro.
All this just because he got attached to someone like you.
Tokuko, go over there.
I'll go look for him.
What time do you think it is?
Dad and Gran'pa are looking for him right now.
So you stay home.
Dammit, it's all that ghost's fault.
Jiro!
Jiro.
Hey!
Man, it's too dark.
Let's come back tomorrow morning.
Jiro!
Jiiirooooo!
Hey!
Jiro!
Thank goodness!
Where have you been?!
Hi.
Who are you?
Are you Dozaemon?
No, I'm not all that special, really.
I'm just a jovial old man.
Like hell a jovial old man would become a scary ghost!
Sorry about that.
It's just that Gran'ma Yoshikawa told me you'd listen to me if I used this method.
Damn that hag Yoshikawa.
Sorry, sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Shut up and disappear!
Please don't be so cold...
And why are you naked anyway?
Put something on already!
But I really like being naked and free.
More importantly, there's something I want to ask of you, Ichiro-chan.
No way.
I got into a lot of trouble today because of you.
I'm really sorry about that.
See, there are these letters that need to be destroyed immediately,
or else something really bad will happen.
You have no idea what'll happen to me if the old lady finds them
The old lady I'm referring to is Yanagihara Tatsu, my wife.
And my wife, you see, is very, very scary.
If she finds those letters, she just might kill me.
But you're already dead.
The old lady is scheduled to come into this world very soon.
Before that, something needs to be done about those letters.
The old lady is gonna... die?
Yeah, well, it's more like a foreboding...
Lately, she seems to be meeting up with all her friends and cleaning up all the stuff around her.
Though she doesn't know about this at all.
At this rate, It's just a matter of time before she finds them!
And if that happens, I don't know what'll become of me!
I don't care.
If she gets mad at you, then just apologize.
Idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot!
If she were the kind of woman who'd forgive me with
just an apology, I wouldn't be asking this of you!
They're these steamy love letters that I got from the girls who loved me.
I took great care of them, but ended up coming to this side before I could destroy them.
Hey, please!
Please!
I don't quite get it,
but if you've done something bad, then you have to get scolded for it, Old Man Willy!
So then... you don't care about what happens to me?
Nope.
You re really going to ignore me?
Yep.
I'll curse you, Ichiro-chan...
I'll curse you.
I get it! I get it! I get it! I get it! I get it already!
I'll do anything.
So please stop doing that.
Spread your arms out wide. Hand and leg exercises!
One, two, three, four.
I-chan...
Jiro was absent from radio calisthenics today,
so he can't get the perfect attendance award, right?
I guess not...
How can you be yawning? Aren't you worried?
Can't be helped. I didn't get much sleep.
Jiro is still so little.
It's completely different from when you leave me behind by myself.
Shut up!
You ran away and deserted him too, right?
Don't place all the blame on me!
Boy, you stink!
What's the matter?
Jiro!
Thank goodness you made it home!
You stink!
- You stink! - I'm home!
Jiro!
You're back!
Your face is all black!
Damn, you stink.
What are you doing?!
I can't let him into the house without washing him.
I'll wash him!
You just go eat your breakfast quickly.
Jiro, let's go play after we eat!
I'm off!
Ichiro! Don't leave Jiro behind this time!
Hi.
Ouch.
Hey, Old Man Willy!
How dare you mess with my sleep time last night.
Don't ever do it again.
What's that, Ichiro-chan?
After I came all the way to get you...
Remember about the letters?
If you don't keep your promise,
this old man just might show up in your dreams every night.
I get it, dammit.
Let's go then!
Doesn't she look scary?
She's every bit as scary as she looks.
Can't be helped. It's do or die.
That's right. That's just what a man should be like.
All right, let's go, Jiro.
Whoa, wait! Wait!
If you take her head on, you really will die.
You have to do this in such a way that she doesn't find out.
Huh?
I've explained it so many times and you still don't get it. Geez!
Oh!
What?!
Don't tell me you want me to steal them?!
There's no way I can steal those letters if things are like that.
It's all right.
Once she's done with the cleaning, she'll go out.
It's that interval that we're gonna aim for.
But...
I really don't think I can steal-
I'll do my best.
All right, looks like she's going out.
See? It was there, right?
I made a spare key just in case she locked me out one day.
Though I had no idea it'd still come in handy even after I died.
I've kinda come to understand what kind of old man you were.
The right! Turn It to the right!
You idiot! Which way is right?!
Which hand do you hold your chopsticks in?
That's your left hand. The other way!
This is so irritating!
It's open!
Good.
Sorry for the intrusion.
Come on! Hurry up, Ichiro-chan!
Hey, quit dawdling!
Is this you. Old Man Willy?
Yep, aren't I a hottie?
Not surprising that women were all over me, right?
Well, you look better in the picture 'cause you're wearing clothes there.
Idiot. It's what's inside that counts.
This is your home, so there should be something lying around that you can wear.
Here.
Well I'd love to wear it, but that can't reach me where I am now.
We're in different worlds after all.
Please send this over to the old geezer's world.
This is the old lady's underwear.
Hurry, hurry!
This way, this way!
Hurry up!
There.
Yeah, under that.
There, there.
It's that drawer.
Look carefully, will ya?!
Shut up, old man.
I'm looking, but they're all empty.
There's nothing interesting in here.
It's a box, about this big.
Ichiro-chan, look here!
Oh no!
Why do I have to go through this...?
Oh, there it is!
What?
That one right there.
That's the one.
The one digging into your head.
This one?
P-Pick 'em up. Pick 'em up!
You can't leave a single one behind.
Oh, that one!
That pink envelope!
That's from Tama-chan.
That's so nostalgic.
See, Tama-chan had these big tits...
Even now, when I remember them...
Oh no, the old lady's back.
Hurry, hurry.
Hurry up!
What are you doing there, you damn kid?!
You little...
Stop right there!
It's true!
I can see ghosts.
I can talk to them too.
So, you're saying he made you steal these aggravating letters
so that I wouldn't find them?
This old geezer has been haunting you?!
That's right. Though you probably won't believe me.
It's all right even if you don't believe me.
But... But it's the truth.
No...
I believe you.
It's the sort of thing Toshizou would do.
But...
If that story is true, it means I'm gonna be going to the other side pretty soon.
Th-That's true, but...
But don't let it get you down old hag.
Who you callin' an old hag?!
My name is Tatsu.
Well, Toshizou is dead and it's not like anyone needs me anymore.
And if this is what my life span is to be, then so be it.
But he never fails to amaze me.
To be cherishing silly things like this, even in his afterlife...
and to threaten a child and make him commit burglary for it...
How pathetic.
He really knew how to talk smooth back when we first met
Ta-chan, I'm going to do my very best!
So, please marry me.
Yes.
Thank goodness.
But once we were married,
he'd be fooling around with women all year round, never coming home.
I wonder exactly what I was to Toshizou...
Ta...
Tatsu, you've always been number one to me.
But after being together for a while...
you became like the air I breathed.
And I stopped being able to see you as a woman.
And before I knew it, I was with other women...
It was a sickness.
Ichiro-chan, please tell her what I just said.
Hey, Tatsu...
The old man's saying he had a sickness where he couldn't possibly see you as a woman.
So he's saying that I'm a man?!
Toshizou! How dare you say something like that?!
Whose fault do you think it is that you can't even tell if I'm a geezer or a hag?!
What should I do?!
Ichiro-chan, please get it right this time.
That no matter how much of an old crone she is, I will always love her.
And that I'll be waiting for her on the other side.
He says he likes you best 'cause you're an old crone.
And he'll be waiting for you on the other side.
No!
Well said, Toshizou.
Now I can go to the other side without any regrets.
Far from regretting it, I'm actually looking forward to it.
Thank you, kid.
Actually, I was going to just forget about the contents of the box.
Thank you for finding them.
I'll be sure to read them carefully and store up power before crossing over to the other side.
So, Toshizou...
Where are you, Toshizou?
Here...
Toshizou!
I'll be sure to collect on all debts you owe me, past and future.
So look forward to seeing me on the other side.
No way!
Welcome back.
Sorry. Sorry.
Let's go, shall we?
Sure.
You really did something remarkable back then.
I'll be sure to return the favor.
Take care, Tatsu.
I've been waiting for this, Toshizou!
Are you prepared?
I'm going to take such good care of you.
Y... Yeah...
Don't pretend you're sorry
I know you're not
You know you got the power
To make me weak inside
Girl you leave me breathless
But it's okay
'Cause you are my survival
Now hear me say
I can't imagine
Life without your love
Even forever don't seem like long enough
'Cause everytime I breathe I take you in
And my heart beats again
Baby I can't help it
You keep me drowning in your love
Everytime I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
Baby I can't help it
You keep me drowning in your love
It looks like Souta's mother is gonna meet someone for an arranged marriage interview.
But oh my god, the guy seems to be the father of Ichimura Kei from Class 3.
Kei is a terrible girl, a combination of the three evils of rudeness, violence and arrogance.
I've been at the receiving end of her blows many a time.
It's good that Souta will be getting a new dad...
but can he really live together with someone like Kei?
I won't forgive you if you speak badly of Kei-chan!
KEI-CHAN
