That's right.
I'm Ittaku.
Yes!
"Ittaku"
"Hana"
Thing is, I know we shouldn't rush her.
Yes.
But I wonder what she'll remember next.
That's right.
That's amazing. Amazing, amazing. Right?
Yes.
Eh?
Huh? That's not it, Umi. That's Ittaku.
I'm Hana.
Maybe she's still confused.
Eh?
Let's do it slowly. Slowly.
Okay.
Yes.
Whoa
Eh?
No, just for a second, I thought you're actually reliable, it surprised me.
Eh? Why are you surprised?
Because we're talking about you ...
No, no, no. I'm your husband now, right?
We're not married.
Then why do you look happy?
Not at all. I just thought you're beyond saving. Such a shame.
No, no. You were obviously relieved, weren't you?
Right, Umi?
This is a "slide".
A "slide".
I wonder what she understands by that.
Let's be patient, Hana-san.
Ah! Did I just sound reliable again?
No. That smugness gets on my nerves.
Ehh?
Want me to kick you? No, no...
Though there wasn't any sudden change in Umi's condition...
...it still brought happiness upon everyone.
Indeed, Ittaku seems slightly reliable...
...but it still gets on the nerves because it's Ittaku.
"Fuuko"
"Hachi" (eight)
"Fukuro"
That feels nice.
'Fukushi"
Actually it's Fukuchi.
Well, never mind.
Your name's a bit difficult so we do it like this.
"Kayou"
What's that?
Seems like it means "painter".
A painter huh?
That's kinda unfair.
I'm looking forward to it.
If Umi-chan suddenly signs "Kayou" or something, I'd probably cry.
We'll do it slowly.
I also thought her door has opened that time...
but maybe she's still at the stage of knowing the presence of a door.
Next time, she'll surely open the door and move forward.
It will take time.
People do mature, don't they?
Nah...
Well in your case, there's no more room to grow.
That's right, huh. Yes, yes.
I've always been like this for 40 years.
So...
Um...I have something to discuss, Hana-san.
Hm?
Would you let Umi-chan attend school?
Eh?
It's different from what happened before.
You're not alone now.
I'm here.
Everybody in this apartment will help. Right?
That's true.
I think it's better for Umi-chan to attend school than be with me all the time.
Because Umi-chan's world will widen, right?
Don't you think so?
When her world widens
the chances or hints for her door to open will increase. Right?
Things like making friends...
There will surely be lots of fun stuffs!
Definitely!
The person who wants her to go to school most is Hana-chan, right?
Right.
Sorry.
For speaking as if I know everything.
Um...
Please take care of us.
Yes~!
But um...
I mean...
What you said was correct but
for you to say that, makes me annoyed.
That's understandable.
Can I kick him?
Ah...no problem.
Huh?! Eh?
Thanks.
No, no, wait...wait
Watch out, watch out.
Thank you!
This is weird! Ow!
Ow...Ow...Ow...Ow!
Ah!
She meant "One more time."
Yes.
That's not it!
That's not it, right?
What are you talking about? That's not it!
What's wrong, Hana-chan?
That's fun.
I'm glad to be here.
You're adorable, Hana-chan.
There, there.
You're a good girl, truly.
There, there.
Hana-san~!
Let's go!
Ha?
Let's go~!
It's scary when it's pitch black, isn't it?
You know the sea's there when you hear the waves
but Umi-chan won't know that.
But the sea's here.
It's here.
Always.
"Sea"
Yes.
"Sea"
Let's come again, Hana-san.
Eh?
Let's come again.
Until Umi-chan understands her own name.
Even after she gets it, let's come again and again.
Alright!
We'll come again~!
Wait for us~!
The 3 of us, we're gonna smile here~!
What's that for?
It's annoying when you act cool.
Eh? Cool?
Wait for us~! We'll definitely come again~!

Miracle Man
Final episode
So then I got mad and kicked my husband's butt.
Ehh really? Hiro-kun Mama, you're amazing. You're Rock, aren't you?
What Rock? You would do the same, wouldn't you? Ow...ow
No, I wouldn't.
This sudden development may be surprising.
Yes, 2 years have passed.
Umi is attending school now.
Though it has been 2 years
Umi hasn't changed much.
"Fun", "Fun". It's fun, right?
Let's walk...
Nothing big happened but...
there were various things.
The unexpected one is Fukushi-kun.
For 2 years in a row, he failed in the national exam.
As for Kayou-chan
for 2 years in a row, she was rejected in her dream competition.
Ah...I can't take this anymore.
These two have promised to get married
once their dreams come true.
As for this man, there's nothing in particular.
But rumor has it that he seems to be saving quite a bit of money.
Observing the different attitudes of bank employees,
or always hiding his bankbook tied to the stomach and walk around with it.
Well that's no big deal.
Well then, I'll go to work.
Okay, have a safe trip. Do your best.
Yes.
I'm going.
See you.
That's right, Hana-san...
Hm?
Here.
What is it?
It seems there's a weird guy around the school recently.
A weird guy?
Yes.
A suspicious man wandering around, the mothers told me.
What?
I'm not sure but recently, at a school somewhere
there was a case where a girl was taken, right?
Um...
Like Umi...
Kids who can't see or hear
they're easier to be taken.
"Please be careful" the teachers told me.
That gets on my nerves. What kind of guy?
A man around his 40s, dressed in filthy clothes...
...with some kind of Rock-ish air, that's the rumor.
Isn't that you?
No, no, no...spare me please.
So that's how it is. Please watch out.
Umi
"Ittaku", "Ittaku". I'm going, 'kay?
Well then, I'm going! Have a safe trip.
Aren't flowers great?
Pretty flowers make you happy, don't they?
I still can't accept the fact that Hana-chan chose you.
(person in charge)
Now, now. Shunin, you should find your own happiness quick.
Shut up! I'm happy enough myself. Get back to work, will ya?
So what happened to both Ittaku and Hana in these 2 years...
First of all, they're happily married.
I'll take care of this. What did you say?
I'll take care of this. Yes~!
Hey! It's embarrassing.
But Hana-san, isn't this a miracle? A miracle.
Right? Right? See, we just got married.
Ah...really? Congratulations.
We just got married. Isn't that great? Yay~ Yay~!
You rock, ward office!
Yes, this happened too.
Ittaku, wake up.
Grandma...
Grandma!
Why?
Ittaku.
Yes.
When you went off to Tokyo, I was strict, right?
Yeah.
Do you know why?
Maybe you felt some possibility or hopeful for something?
If I just leave you be, you will eventually rot to death.
That?
There's no answer to how one should live his life.
There's no choice but to live.
How to live a good life is up to you next. You understand?
Yes.
Hana-chan
Umi-chan
Yes.
Thank you.
I'm happy to have such cute granddaughter and great-grandchild.
Do you remember me?
It's Grandma.
How do you do that hand thingy?
Sign language?
"Grandma" "Grandma"
Yeah.
"Grand.....ma"
See that?
She remembers me. Right?
Grandma, what's your name again?
Iwa (rock). Iwa?
Kamemochi Iwa.
My parents wanted me to become a strong person. Hence, the name.
And I became a strong person.
That's right, it's Iwa.
You're Rock, aren't you, Grandma?
Ohh~ that's true!
Hm? What is that 'Rock' thing?
It's like a strong person.
There's no 'Rock' listed.
Alright.
"Rock!"
Let's use this!
What is that?
Rock~!
Rock!
If he didn't meet you, he would have died.
Thank you.
It couldn't be that bad...but it may happen, right?
He would certainly have died.
Grandma, you use the word 'die' too much.
How about a sightseeing in Tokyo?
Let's go all out.
Ah...yes, all out!
Ittaku, are you coming?
No, thanks. It's scary.
Oh my...
Nice, isn't it? So this is 'sleeping like a river'.
(river = kawa written as 川)
It's fun.
It can't be helped since it's small.
But wouldn't it be boring if it's wide?
Is that so?
"Fun"
But it's gonna be tough during summer with you around.
Eh? Why is that?
Why...you ask.
Good night.
Umi, good night.
The three of them started living together.
So it's been 2 years since Umi-chan went to school.
Though nothing much have changed.
You wouldn't know, right?
You don't know what's going on inside her head, right?
Yes, that's true.
How's the Rock doing?
Rock? Yes.
In fact, recently I've been thinking...
Rock is something like crying out loud from a weak heart.
Yes.
So?
So I think protecting the weak properly is also Rock.
The protagonist from my favorite book said this at the end.
"I watched the girls playing in the farm."
"But beyond the farm, there's a dangerous cliff."
"To make sure the girls don't go over there, I'm watching them."
"I can live with that."
That's cool. That's Rock.
What about you, Baba-chan?
Ah...yes.
Actually, something's been bothering me.
What is it?
See, I've been working part-time while aiming to become a poet/lyricist since I came to Tokyo.
At the part-time's place, there's always people asking me.
"Won't you be a manager?" or "Won't you be an employee?"
They would always ask me. Even now.
Why are you worrying about that?
It's like slowly assembling something,
and working diligently, it doesn't feel Rock-ish...
Why is that? Why...you ask...
Why...I wonder?
Because I won't become a poet/lyricist...?
If you're a manager, then you can't become poet/lyricist?
You can't write poems/lyrics? That's true.
Why don't you just write a manager's song?
Eh? Ah...is that so?
That's kinda cool.
Really?
Then I'll accept the promotion.
Then you should just write a song about your promotion.
Seriously?
Eh...should I? Should I be a shop manager?
Then I'll increase my sales.
If you do that, then just write a song about the sales.
Ehh?
Isn't that so, Fuuko-san?
That's right.
Is that so?
Anyway, do your best, Mosaku.
Yes!
But Fuuko-san...
Hm?
You haven't been to the apartment recently.
What are you doing at home?
Well...
What are you doing?
Preparation.
For what?
Not telling.
Eh?? Tell us.
Yes, I'm preparing for something.
I said preparing but I'm actually waiting for that day to come.
That day will come soon.
When I witness the most beautiful moment, I would do it.
My fine instinct tells me.
Bye bye sensei. Goodbye.
Ittaku
Hey, Umi-chan papa
Eh?
There's a suspicious man.
Eh?! That 40 something man with Rock-ish feel?
Yes, yes, yes...
Next time tell me immediately when you see him.
I'll definitely catch him.
Okay.
Oh, Umi-chan, Umi-chan...
Ah...Umi!
It's okay. Yes, Ittaku.
Tasty?
Umi
Ah...
Umi, wait here for a while.
Wait, Masashi!
Why are you running away?
Ah...was it you? The suspicious man with Rock-ish feel.
Ha?! I'm nothing like Rock.
There's quite a lot of skinheads in rock bands.
Who cares?
Don't lump me with them.
Never mind that, but what are you doing?
You wanted to see Umi...
That's not it!
You watched the news, right?
What about?
That...around here
a kid was taken away and the culprit is still at large.
That's why...
I see...you want to protect Umi?
Because you're weak.
Ha?!
Umi!
What are you doing?!
Hey you! Wait!
Wait!
Why did you do that? Why?!
That's wrong, isn't it?!
It's not right to see the weak suffer!
I hate that kind of world! I hate it!
Apologize to Umi! Apologize!
Ah...Ittaku!
Ittaku? Ittaku? Hey...are you okay?
Hey! Hang in there! Hey!
Ittaku! Hey, Ittaku!
Don't worry. He's not going to die.
Eh?
He's just sleeping now because of the medicine.
I see.
This fool said he'd still be Rock even when he becomes an old man.
I seriously can't get along with him.
You were watching Umi?
You can just tell me if you wanna see her...
I can't...
I'm like Daddy-Long-Legs...
(based on a 1912 novel by Jean Webster)
Ha?
I don't understand.
If you're Daddy-Long-Legs, then send us money.
There are poor Daddy-Long-Legs too.
See you.
Thanks, poor Daddy-Long-Legs.
Shut up.
Do your best.
Live a good life.
Yeah.
I'll send you lots of money when I get them. So just wait.
How are you gonna get them?
Eh?
Somehow.
I'll think of something.
You're still a fool.
You're a fool too, that's why only fools come to you.
Shut up, baldy.
You don't have to say the obvious.
Hana-san...
Umi...
He stinks of blood again...
Smells like blood.
Idiot.
Hit and Run An unemployed man arrested
Welcome back.
Thank goodness he's fine.
Yes. Apparently that idiot has a tough body.
That idiot is strong huh...
Seems he'll be back soon.
That's good.
When we first heard, we thought he died.
Ah...sorry.
Hm? What is it?
"Hana"
I'm Hana.
"Fuuko"
Um..."Kayou"
Umi-chan...wait...
"Fukushi"
What's wrong, Umi-chan?
Eh?
Really?
She's been signing this since yesterday and this morning too.
Really?
We're back.
Welcome back.
Umi...it's true.
It's Ittaku. I'm back.
That's amazing. That's somehow amazing, Umi.
That's it, isn't it?
Like when I'm beat up like this, Umi-chan will experience some kind of awakening moments.
That's kinda Rock.
That's foolish, seriously.
Hey...
Eh?
Something seems to be moving inside of her.
Huh?
It's the first time I see her face like this.
Umi...
You understand.
That everyone...
...has names.
What happened to Umi?
Her door has opened!
It has finally opened!
That very moment, we all became witnesses to the miracle.
It's awesome!
That's Rock!
Umi...Umi.
Rock~!
Umi!
Ah...
This is...
"Chair"
That's right!
Since that moment, Umi-chan experienced a tremendous change.
Perhaps, she has come to realize the existence
of people and things around her.
She probably realized that everything has names.
She becomes curious about everything.
She wants to know every single thing.
"Hachifukuro"-san...
Eh?
Isn't that amazing? Her door has opened!
I'm "Futoshi".
That's great!
Right?
Ah but Umi's not in love, okay?
Don't be mistaken.
Ehh?
This is Baba-chan. "Baba"
Po~
What's that? That would be Giant Baba, right?
But that's how you do it.
Eh, really?
That is really cute though.
Like this?
Po~
The change in Umi-chan is amazing.
But at the entrance of the door that has opened...
...there are names.
Before anything, she needs to understand the very meaning of the words.
"Bicycle"
But it won't be long.
Because she's already walking outside the door.
I've decided!
What is it?
I'm going on a trip.
I've already prepared.
A trip?
Until which part?
I've not decided where to go or how long.
1 year, 5 years or 10 years.
Ha?!
See, at this age...
Somehow I've come to know things.
About this world? It's like I've understood everything about it.
I've prided myself with that hallucination.
But after watching Umi-chan...
...somehow, it makes me even more curious.
About various things. So, I thought of exploring the world a bit.
Eh?
(Her name, Fuuko has a wind character)
After all, I'm a child of the wind, right?
So I need to go outside.
So that's what I've decided. Make hay while the sun shines.
Hana-chan
Yes.
Please take care of this.
Okay? Until I return.
Ah...yes.
Eh?
Be strict to them. It's okay to kick out anyone who misbehaves.
Ah...
Yes.
Please take care of us. Please take care of us.
You too. Be careful or I'll kick you out.
Well then, take care.
Dear tenants.
That's freedom...
A child of the wind huh...as expected.
Ah...sorry.
That is...
"Flower" "Flower"
And...
I am...
Hana too.
That's right.
It's hard, isn't it?
But she'll understand one day.
Whoa! It's white!
Ah...it landed on her.
That is also "nose..."
(hanage = nose hair)
How do you sign "nose hair" again?
How would I know?!
Ow! Ow! Sorry.
Hana-san!
What?
Geez why are there so many things in this world?
That's right. Well, for me, Hana-san and Umi are enough for me.
Shut up!
"Sea"
Oh, here it comes! Here it comes!
"Sea"
It's the sea. It's here.
That sea is your name, Umi.
That's cute, Umi.
What an awesome smile!
Hana-san and Umi too!
I'm glad to be alive!
I'm gonna go on living!
Love and Peace and Rock and Smile!
Whoo!
Yay!
Wait! Stop that!
The 3 of us are here~!
"Fun"
"Umi"
"Hana"
"Ittaku"
"Fun"
Umi, thank you!
Umi
Rock?
Rock! Rock!
Umi! Umi!
Live on with the awesome Rock!
Rock!!!
I wanna hug you
I wanna hug you lovingly
If my dream comes true
I don't mind losing my life
I wanna love you I wanna love you
Oh baby~!
It's not disgusting...
...is it?
To suck till the bone
From the top of Tokyo Tower
I'll jump till Sangenjaya
Baby~!
