It wasn't supposed to be like this.
How did it get to this?
I can't even remember now what I was feeling at the time.
However, the sunset seen through the window then was just beautiful.
I guess the world keeps turning just like it always did.
Don't know why, but this one particular memory still stays in my mind.
June 2006
All of this started on that one fateful day...
Get up! Izumi...
Izumi...
you will be late if you don't get up soon.
Good morning Mom.
30 minutes before the school gates close.
No way!
Ouch!
I will be leaving for Singapore today.
When are you back?
Hot!
This weekend. Izumi...
What?
Didn't I tell you not to touch my undergarments?
You even folded them up nicely, goodness...
Ouch!
Izumi.
What?
When I get back this weekend, want to go catch a movie?
What?
Haven't been for a while and I would like to go to Asakusa
Do you remember when you were 3,
you went to the festival there with Mom?
Yeah...
Here.
The high school entrance exams are next year, I have to study hard.
Why don't you ask someone else?
What's wrong with asking my own daughter?
You are still young, you should think about remarriage.
Can I...?
The question is, is there anyone else like Mom who will fall for you?
I'm going...
Thinking back now...
You're such a forgetful girl, you definitely got that from your mother.
Bye.
If only I can see Dad again even for just a moment.
This is a matter of life or death!
I want you to speed to 180 now!
Takeda Hideki. Number 4 of the Medaka clan.
But...the speed limit is only 60...and...
If we don't get there on time, will you take the responsibility?
Sakai Kenji. Number 5 of Medaka Clan.
Hello...
What the hell are you doing,
Sakai Kinzo. Number 2 of Medaka Clan.
hurry and get your asses over here!
Boss!
Nishino Takeshi. Number 3 of the Medaka Clan.
Just hang in there,
Hideki and Kenji will be here with the doctor soon.
Sakuma Makoto. Successor of the Medaka Clan.
The light's still red.
Are you blind?
Yeah!
The light had already changed.
Medaka Clan.
How is he?
He has pneumonia.
And is running a high fever.
And his heart is also very weak.
To have held on until now is already a miracle.
What's so comforting about that!
Calm down!
What are you talking about?
I'm your elder...
Doctor, is there anything you can do?
I will try.
That's huge!
Unfortunately, I don't have anything for humans.
What?
Because I am...
A Veterinarian.
Ningen banji saiou ga uma
Literally: Humans everything `Saiou' horse Meaning: One's luck is unpredictable and changeable
A pretty good idiom isn't it?
What do you all think of tang dynasty? How do you feel about its history. It is my personal favorite.
Izumi, how did you do on the mock exam?
From her appearance, she looks like she would be the smartest in the class.
Shut up!
You are only good at taking notes right Izumi?
Do you all think I'm an idiot?
The meaning of this part is...
Hoshi-kun?
Yes!
Well...
the horse...
Wrong!
Throughout a person's lifetime, it is inevitable that both good and bad things will continually occur.
What this means is that no one knows what their future holds.
Sorry.
I've lived a long full life.
I will leave the affairs of the Clan in your capable hands.
Sakuma...
Please stop talking like that.
The clan still needs you to lead them.
2nd Leader...
You've taken such good care of us over the years Kinzo.
I'm the one who has been in your care.
Hide...
Boss...
Kenbo...
Yes...
And the one that sweats a lot...
My name is Takeshi.
I joined the Clan even earlier than Hideki, at least try to remember my name.
I want to thank all of you for following me all these years.
Please grant me just one final request.
What is it? Tell us.
We can't just allow the Medaka Clan to crumble.
But of course,
I will definitely take on the full responsibility of...
My position...
Will be passed on to my nephew.
You have a nephew?
If it is not possible, at least find someone with b-blood relation to me.
Boss!
Please Sakuma.
Promise me.
Alright,
I promise you.
Hoshi Izumi-san...!
Yes?
Your father...
From that moment on, my life did a complete 180.

Thanks to ALL of the D-Fansubs Team!
Thank you to all Raw Providers and Uploaders
Thank you for watching with us! ^_^
Kin-san, Kin-san...
Here's the payment.
Thank you for all you've done for us, we greatly appreciate it.
- Takeshi... -Yes,
it's Aomori–san, you sell the candied apples right? -Yes.
Sakuma-san is the successor now right?
The Big Boss has passed on, someone has to take over.
Yes, that's right.
Uncle, Uncle!
Idiot! You should call me Kin-san at work.
Hamaguchi...it's Hamaguchi...
Thank you for your hard work.
Long time no see. It's should almost be time for the festival to start.
Festivals like this can be seen all year round here at Asakusa.
That's right, I do apologize.
I've been out of the country for business for quite some time and was unable to make it for your Leader's funeral.
You were probably busy smuggling...
What did you just say punk?
Forget it, stop acting “Yakuza”
Isn't he Yakuza himself?
That reminds me, has Sakuma's Successor Ceremony been performed yet?
My my, I guess it hasn't yet?
We will notify everyone soon.
It happened so suddenly, we weren't prepared for it.
If you need any helpers, just let us know.
Giving the Medaka Clan the responsibility of taking on the whole entire festival alone seems like too large of a task for you.
You wanna fight?
Kin-san, about the successor...
This matter will be handled by Sakuma.
(Hoshi Takashi's name and address)
Excuse me,
I'm looking for Hoshi Takashi-san.
If you are looking for Hoshi...he passed away yesterday.
Heh?
Wasn't he going to Singapore?
I heard that at the airport, he was hit by a truck when crossing the street.
She will have to come live at our place. -Really...?
I heard that the compensation
the insurance company is providing is 500,000 dollars.
Even so, but...
Auntie, Uncle,
I appreciate your worrying about me,
but I will be fine on my own.
Accident?
Did the Leader's nephew die as well?
Yes.
On the same day.
Passing on the title to a relative wasn't right to begin with.
We are gangsters,
Sakuma-san should be succeeding in that position.
This was the Boss' last request.
Do you not plan to take over the Clan?
No matter what, we must abide by the Boss' last request.
Even at the expense of getting clobbered by Hamaguchi's gang?
They came by the temple today and
asked if you were going to be the new Leader.
They must be interested in taking over our territory!
All that's left in Tokyo to oppose them is weak little us!
Why not use this opportunity to trade them that piece of territory in return for their support?
No way.
There's no way we will do that!
Why are you looking at me, weren't you the one who suggested it?
No matter what, we must follow the Boss' request!
2nd Leader...
Actually, the Boss' nephew does have one more blood related heir.
Who is it?
Well...
It's a high-sch..
You mean a lady boss?
No...
joshijuunigakubou (=chinese 12 girls band)
What the heck is that?
Don't tell me it's a high school girl?
Serious?
Regardless, let's just find the girl first.
I'm home.
My forgetfulness is not from Mom, it was inherited from you.
When I get back this weekend, want to go catch a movie?
I would like to go to Asakusa.
Do you remember when you were 3,
you went to the festival there with Mom?
Here.
- Excuse me. -Yes.
I'd like a student and an adult ticket please.
That will be 20 dollars.
My position...
Will be passed on to my nephew
If it is not possible, at least find someone with b-blood relation to me. Promise Me...
Do you not plan to take over the clan?
Let a high school girl become the Boss?
Even if it was a last request, this is too ridiculous!
Normally, the other party may not agree to such circumstances.
Hey!
Wait a minute.
Don't jump!
What do you want?
Don't do it!
Let me go!
If you died, there will be someone who will be very upset.
Those that you leave behind will be heart broken. Think about it!
I understand better than anyone.
Then why do you still want to commit suicide?
What are you talking about?
I'm not looking to die,
it fell down!
What?
My glasses.
What?
I apologize for being so rough.
Do I look like a candidate for suicide?
I'm sorry.
Although I am indeed quite depressed.
Here,
this cookie is the best around here.
Why is there 2?
The other is for your deceased father.
- Thank you. -Your welcome.
Are you from Asakusa?
I've been here for 25 years.
You've been fired as a result of re-organization within your company right?
What?
Watching a gangster movie in the afternoon,
finding a job must be hard.
I didn't get fired at all.
Actually, I also have recently lost the head of my family.
- Really? -Yes.
I always thought that I was going to take over the role and carry on the job.
But the Boss' wish was to pass it on to someone else.
I guess I was wrong.
But I think you were overly anxious.
Although I understood, but my stubbornness just won't accept it.
But there is nothing you can do about it.
A promise is a promise.
Just stay by that person's side and support and guide them well.
I, support them?
Your deceased father will rest in peace that way.
Thank you so much.
What you said just now has finally erased all my hesitations.
I'm sorry, I was only talking nonsense.
Not at all.
Well, goodbye.
Are you a student?
This was my first time skipping school.
Bye.
Do you mind if I discuss another matter with you as well?
Actually, there is a situation about a girl.
I'm worried that she won't be used to the type of world shown in that movie just now.
It's red.
Females mostly hate living in those types of worlds.
- But you seem to really like it don't you Mister? -Mister?
Yes.
It all depends on how much effort you put into it.
As long as you show sincerity when you speak with her,
she should be able to understand how much you love it Mister.
I believe she will understand.
Good luck.
Sakuma-san...
Did you find her?
Do you seriously plan on meeting that blood relative?
Yes.
Are you sure you are alright?
Well I can't continue spiraling into a state of depression.
You go girl!
What's going on?
Let's go take a closer look.
Check that out over there.
What? It's too crowded, I can't see a thing!
Who are you people?
This is a Catholic school!
It's too dangerous here, get back!
Is Hoshi Izumi-san here?
I am she.
Wait Izumi!
He's calling me.
Even if he is calling you...
Hey,
aren't you the one from yesterday...
Thank you for yesterday.
What happened?
You are Hoshi Izumi-san right?
I am here to pick you up.
Please do not be frightened.
I want to tell you some things about your father.
- About Dad? -Please.
B-But...
Congratulations to
Hoshi Izumi,
8th Generation Leader of Medaka Clan
Leader?
- You mean me? -Yes.
Please don't joke around with me.
I am not joking.
Just as I said yesterday,
the last request of the Boss was for his nephew to inherit his position.
Who by the way is your father.
You were referring to my father yesterday?
Sorry,
I didn't realize at the time.
When I found your father, he had already passed away.
But…
When he is unable to succeed the role,
it must be passed on to his heir.
If that is so, then I have an Aunt.
If she is already married, then...
Please let me introduce you
to the 5 people you see here make up the full members of Medaka Clan.
Weren't there many others just now...
They were borrowed from
another clan for show.
This is Kinzo-san.
In Asakusa, he is known as Buddha-faced Kin.
Ichigo ichie
Meaning: Every encouter is important, because there may not be a second time
I am Number 3 Takeshi.
My specialty is computers.
So please take good care of me
This is Hideki.
I am Hide.
This is Kenji. He is Kinzo-san's nephew.
Yo.
This is your first meeting, how can you say “yo?”
Do you not even know how to properly greet someone?
- Kinzo-san. - Yes.
You are showing too much of your temper.
I am Sakuma, 2nd in charge here.
You are really Yakuza gangsters?
As for the 8th Generation Leader...
Wait just a moment!
This is way too unbelievable.
I'm only a high school student.
I'm only 17!
Please do not worry.
The Leader does not have any age or gender limitations.
I wasn't thinking about that.
Although I am not proud of it,
but I have never even been the leader of my class before.
What? Don't be comparing our Leader role to some measly class leader.
Please understand,
Medaka Clan's torch has to be passed on and cannot be put out.
Medaka Clan's history can be traced all the way back to the Sagano Era.
From the 1st Generation firefighters till now,
there have been a total of 7 Generations.
Your name has been written here.
Don't just judge by what you see now.
The Medaka Clan of the past was one that held over a hundred members.
Those were the glory days. At least that's what I've been told.
Do you know what this is?
I've seen it in Abarenbou Shogun (=period drama).
Correct. Firefighters climbing to rooftops was the symbol of our Clan.
Like you told me yesterday Miss, if you say it with sincerity, the other party will understand.
You also said a promise is a promise.
- Well, that... - You also wished me luck.
But, Yakuza gang members are scary...
you kill people...
We don't participate in ruthless killings.
and sell illegal drugs...
That is only for the low-lifes.
and you have a hand in loan sharking...
Our Clan is very poor.
You collect “protection fees” from people...
We have been decreasing our fees lately.
We take care of the streets of Asakusan.
We maintain order and handle disputes that
prefer not to have any police involvement.
We are not terrorists,
we are the bodyguards of the streets.
We will be holding a festival in Asakusa soon,
if you are willing to come watch us work at that time...
I will not go,
I have to study.
Study?
I have University entrance exams coming up next year.
I have a lot on my plate already.
Plus, my father just passed away, a festival...
I'm very sorry,
but I have to decline to be the Leader of this Clan.
Please forgive me.
Is there no way that you are willing to consider it?
I understand.
That's it then.
I am sorry that I am unable to help.
Sorry to have bothered you.
As for what happened yesterday...
Well,
those people yesterday were my father's acquaintances.
I will write a full report as to...
They are your father's acquaintances through volunteer work?
Yes...
heh?!
VOLUNTEER!?
A gentleman by the name of Sakuma has already contacted us.
He said that there was an event that everyone had to attend causing them to miss the funeral. Which is why they came to see you.
My apologies, I even took them for Yakuza gang members!
I'm sorry to have called you out on such short notice.
Seems like you are making quite a bit of money.
Ranmaru.
We are not the same as Medaka School, we are an actual conglomerate.
What is it that you would like to discuss?
Here is 100 thousand.
Our territory cannot be bought with money.
This is the price I am paying for you.
I want you to leave Madaka Clan... and work for me.
For you, you can jump right into a high leveled role.
You want me to get involved in heroine?
In comparison to the High School Clan you're in, our Clan offers a better future for you.
I'd rather die than betray my loyalties.
We'll just have to see what happens…
Our political topic today
is saving the poor and democracy.
Welcome home!
We will respect any decisions you make.
What?
This will be the first and last festival celebrated without the old Leader.
Let's make this a good one.
Yes.
Izawa-kun which room number is the break-in?
Oh no, which one?
I've forgotten, I'll go find out right away.
What is your name?
Hoshi Izumi.
This is horrible!
Hi,
I am Detective Kuroki.
Oh yeah, me too...
Izumi Hoshi-san right?
It's Hoshi Izumi.
Oh, I got it backwards,
Sorry.
It is not just a simple break-in.
- I say a break-in is a break-in. - What?
Izawa-kun, I think you should go learn some proper Japanese.
Although this is treated like a break-in case,
nothing was taken.
The criminal didn't find what he was looking for.
You father passed not too long ago,
you didn't find anything in his belongings?
What do you mean by that?
Honestly, by the looks of the location where his accident took place,
there is a possibility that it was no accident at all.
According to a statement a witness provided,
your father was pushed like this.
My dad was murdered?
Who is the murderer?
Do you know much about your father's family background?
He may have gotten caught up in a Yakuza gang dispute.
Yakuza?
The details are still under investigation, so I am unable to tell you more about it.
However, there is a possibility that your father was murdered by the Yakuza.
Right before his passing, the old Leader requested that his nephew take over his position.
If you know or think of anything, please contact me anytime.
As for the details of our ways, you must all remember them well.
Yes.
I have something else I want to tell all of you.
Since the Leader's choice of successor is unwilling to Head the Clan,
Medaka Clan will officially disband today.
Disband?
Please accept my deepest apologies.
You're all still young.
You must find proper jobs and follow a law abiding path.
But...
To live up to our Clan's name,
we must make this last festival a good one!
Liven up!
Alright!
Let's go!
I need to speak with you.
Young Miss.
What did you do to my Father?
He was murdered?
It's you guys isn't it?
You people killed my father!
You're mistaken
there is no way it is our Clan.
Quit acting dumb!
What's happened?
When I got home from school, the house looked like a tornado had blown through it.
The Detectives said that my father got involved in some Yakuza gang disputes and was murdered.
Please calm down
and think carefully.
We hoped that your father would Lead our Clan.
We would never do such things.
I'm sorry.
It's alright.
If that's the case, I have to find my dad's murderer.
Can you help me?
The closest to the murderer is the Yakuza and all of you!
I'm sorry,
I no longer have the ability to protect you.
As of today, the Medaka Clan will disband.
Disband?
This has nothing to do with you.
Come take a look at the festival, it's a rare opportunity to see it.
Kinzo-san may look like this now, but he used to be a Police Officer.
Police Officer?
Because he needed to earn some money to pay for his wife's cancer treatment bills,
he leaked some information to the Yakuza just one time for the cash.
From that,
he was shunned by the Police Headquarters and considered a part of the Yakuza gangs. His wife also left him for it,
and when he hit his lowest point was when the old Boss found him.
Before Takeshi joined us, he was a computer engineer.
He was enticed by a co-worker to do some
hacking and was caught.He is prohibited from working in that industry anymore.
Not sure why he joined us though.
I will fix it for you.
It's alright,I will definitely fix it for you.
Hideki was a head member of a Clan.
When he was 20, he owed a huge gambling debt,
that fell into the hands of the old Boss.
So he decided to join?
He has a special relationship with the old Boss.
Listen up, do not give the Boss any problems.
You hear?
Kenji used to be picked on a lot in high school. Hid out at home for a very long time.
One time Kinzo-san brought him to this festival.
He was so happy and said he wanted to join.
He even approached the old Boss and myself directly about it.
Just like Kinzo-san, we all love him very much.
Why do you look all depressed?
Although all of them come from the proper lawful side of the world,
but they all love the Clan very deeply.
For me, the Medaka Clan gives me pride,
it's a priceless treasure.
I appreciate everyone from the bottom of my heart.
Unfortunately I will not be able to help you with your father's case.
Please accept my deepest apologies.
There is something I need to give to you.
Hoshi Izumi, age 3
Do you remember when you were 3,
you went to the Asakusan Festival with Mom?
The old Boss was there at the time...
Looks like one big happy family.
Sakuma-san?
What plans do you have for the future?
No need for you to worry about that,
I have my own path to walk.
Young Miss,
meeting you has been an honor.
Please take care.
I'm sorry.
Great job all.
So lonely now that the festival is over.
Yeah...
Especially today.
I don't want it to be like this.
I don't want the Clan to break-up like this.
Where are you going?
I'm going to have a talk with Sakuma.
If you died, there will be someone who will be very upset.
Unfortunately I will not be able to help you with your father's case.
Please accept my deepest apologies.
As of today, the Medaka Clan will disband.
Is there no other way?
I'm sorry Boss.
Excuse me, the photo...
What are you doing?
Calm down,
let's talk it over first.
I don't have anything to say.
I went against the Boss and disbanded the Clan.
This is something I must do.
When you said “I have my own path to walk”,
this is what you meant?
When alive, there are many rules and honors that one must abide by.
I don't know anything about that.
Even though I was appointed Leader under these circumstances. But Sakuma-san,
you are too narrow-minded and old-fashioned or better yet, inflexible.
I don't want you to say such things about me.
Will living on be a complete embarrassment to you?
Even so, isn't everyone working so hard?
Why won't you just allow yourself to walk another path?
Once you enter this dark world,
you will never be able to look back and live in the normal world again.
The mess on my back
cannot be easily washed away.
No matter what,
I was unable to keep my promise to the Boss.
Young Miss.
2nd Leader!
I'm not sure whether this is just a matter of a man and his pride...
But to me, you look like someone who is just running away.
If you died, there will be someone who will be very upset!
The ones you leave behind will be so heartbroken, think about that!
Aren't these the words you told me Sakuma-san?
If you died, what will happen to Kinzo-san?
2nd Leader.
Takeshi-san as well.
Sakuma-san.
Hideki-san
and Kenji-san, what do you think will happen to them?
Sakuma-san...
They are all your treasures,
your pride,
your mates!
Don't let them suffer the pains of losing someone important like I had to.
I won't let you do it.
If you have to,
then give your life to me.
I...
will become the Leader of Medaka Clan.
Since...
I am the new Leader,
I want everyone to help me find my father's murderer.
No,
I order you all to help me!
Young Miss...
I am no young Miss,
I am the Medaka Clan's 8th Generation Leader
Hoshi Izumi.
Are you sure?
Yes.
My life is now dedicated to protecting and serving you!
8th Generation Leader!
Get up!
Go! Take a look!
You Assholes!
Are you hurt?
No...
that just now was...
Don't know who ordered that attack.
Your arm...
I promised you, I will protect you with my life!
Can we ask you a few questions Senator?
Regarding your proposal for tighter laws against drug trafficking...
I will work at it.
Hello?
Not yet?
I guess we have to demand it.
I...
guess I should bid farewell...
No way.
Let's disband.
No disbanding.
