Ah, no!
Ah!
Yah!
Nakamura-sensei...
Yes.
Don't give us "yes"! What are you doing?
Well...
I wanted to come see our two princesses.
Huh?
Maruyama-sensei, what are you doing with that?
Ah... Nothing. I'm sorry.
Were you thinking of hitting me with it?
Ah...
Brave as ever, aren't you?
What did you want, Nakamura-sensei?
It's nice being at school, isn't it?
Yeah... It's nice here at school.
If it wasn't for these times, I wanted to be a teacher.
Well, it's only because of these times that someone like me could be one.
Nakamura-sensei?
I wanted to become a teacher from a common elementary school days.
Well, I wasn't any good at all in the studying department, though.
My PE teacher was named Maeda-sensei and was the teacher I liked best.
I thought I'd like to become a teacher just like him.
The one who taught me baseball was Maeda-sensei.
I wanted to teach baseball to children, too.
I would have been very happy teaching that.
The biggest reason I went to school at all was to see that Sensei every day.
He was always praising me...
"Oh, Nakamura's early. First again today."
"Shall we do this?" he'd ask me.
That was the biggest reason I even went to school.
I was no good at all when it came to studying...
But I enjoyed school.
Ahh... There was one other person.
My First Love was a teacher, too.
Her name was Maida Hideko-sensei.
She was a beautiful and kind teacher.
Nakamura-sensei...
Yes?
Has something happened?
Wouldn't it be strange to say such things when nothing had happened?
Ah, no, such a thing is...
My draft papers came.
Eh...
I enlist tomorrow.
Thank you for your efforts.
Thank you very much.
Ah... I give up.
I didn't think they'd come all the way out here for me.
Drafting someone like me now...
And for the front lines.
You can depend that I won't be returning alive.
I was the one telling the children...
"Japanese men must resolve themselves..."
"...to dying at any time."
"Dying for the sake of one's country..."
"...is the high point of our happiness and our pride..."
...is what I told them.
"Infantry" (Pawn)
So that's why I can't run away from this...
I can't even cry about it.
I have to smile and throw out my chest.
I can't make apologizes to the children.
Even though I just appeared as a teacher this once...
...I can't let that become a lie to the children.
So by doing this...
I, Nakamura...
...can die happy.
By doing that...
...I can die as a teacher.
Nakamura-sensei...
"I was speechless."
"I could barely say a word."
"The next morning..."
"...Nakamura-sensei set off for the front."
Nakamura-sensei!
What? What is it?
Let's play baseball! Baseball!
Sensei, let's play!
Yeah! I see! That's right.
Then how 'bout we play baseball outside today?!
Let's play baseball! Let's play baseball!
Okay! Then let's see who can hit Sensei's baseball.
Let's go!
"Nakamura-sensei did not return."
"Until the end I will think of him as a teacher."
"He fulfilled the duties he had taught to the children..."
I'm back, Keiko-san.
Welcome back. Thanks for your hard work.
I'm back, Sho-san.
Welcome back. Thanks for your hard work.
You're a good boy, aren't you?
You'll be coming to the National School before long.
You'll be a good Onii-chan to the others.
Well? Feeling okay?
Ah... I'm fine.
Yeah.
Did you get a letter?
No.
I wonder if they'll come anymore?
Eh...
I...
...wonder what my son and I are living for?
I'm unconfident.
I wish I was dead already.
Keiko-san...
Keiko-san!
Ah... I'm sorry...
I'm sorry.
Mom!
It'll be okay. I'll protect you, Mom.
Eh?
So don't worry!
Thank you!
I'm sorry...
I'm sorry!
"I felt a little envious of Keiko-san."
Be careful that any light doesn't leak out!
"That day, Dad would be at work in the factory all night."
Mom!
Mom! What are you doing?
Because your father isn't here! He's not here yet!
Didn't we discuss and decide about that?
He said he'd take refuge over there. Trust in Dad!
Okay! Hurry!
Yeah, all right. All right.
Come, everyone, hurry to the room.
Is everyone okay? Are they okay?
Hurry inside! Hurry! Yes, over there. Hurry inside!
Excuse me.
Ah, Yoko-chan.
"That was the first day Matsumoto had been attacked by air strikes."
"It was absolutely terrifying."
The factory...
Will it be okay?
"I'm not like people on the battlefield."
"I should put up more of a fight against the danger to our lives."
"I don't want to lose..."
"I don't want to lose to the enemy's air raids..."
"...is what I thought."
Oi! It's all clear!
Ah, Dad!
It's okay, it's okay. It's over already.
Thank goodness. Ah... thank goodness.
What's up? Huh?
Why...
...did you have to have training at this time!
Really, at such a time!
Ah, sorry, sorry.
Geez, you idiot!
Sorry, sorry. Ah, you were worried about me.
I'm fine. It's okay now.
I was worried about you!
Ah, it's my fault.
"I felt just a little lonely."
"I wanted to see Kazunari-san..."
"Then, several days later."
Everyone.
Ah... Please just listen from where you are.
There seems to have been a huge attack before dawn yesterday...
...by American forces on Tokyo.
Eh...
At any rate, it was an air raid on a terrible scale...
"March 10th, a huge air raid on Tokyo."
"I heard the scale of the bombing was hundreds or thousands of times greater..."
"...than I had ever experienced and the air never stopped quivering."
"In Tokyo there were Ikuko and my grandmother..."
"...and Kyoko-chan's parents as well."
