Good morning, Ikariya.
Goo-- Goo-- G-G-G-G-oo-d...
GOOD... morn-ING!
Project Squid-Bot isn't going exactly as planned, is it?
Could you call it Project Doraemon, please?
And its name is Ikariya, not "Squid-Bot."
Not that it makes a difference, but still...
Oh, cheer up! Cheer up!
You've only had 38 failures so far, right?
It's only 37, okay?!
Kazuya, Doraemon's all well and good...
...but isn't it time you made Shizuka-chan?
R-Right...
I know! The most efficient plan is to make me Shizuka-chan.
Oh... Would you pay attention?!
Oh! Sorry! Um, what did you say?
Um, well... The most efficient plan is, uh...
Rent! That's right.
Kasumi House keeps running thanks to everyone's rent money.
It needs regular payments, you know.
Believe me, I know.
- And also... - What, there's more?
Your neighbor, Shikishima.
He hasn't paid his rent in about 6 months now.
"SHIKISHIMA"
If you see him, let me know. See you.
Oh, yeah!
Whoa, whoa! What's with you, Ikariya?!
Why do you always do that?!
Kazuya, if you don't forget your squid and get to school...
...your Introductory Photonics exam will start without you.
"Introductory Photonics Final Exam Begins 7 /26 at 1 0:00 AM"
"EXAM OVER!"
C'mon, don't let it get you down.
Cheer up, Saotome. It's just one exam.
Exactly! It's almost summer vacation.
What are you doing, Saotome? Going home?
Home... WHERE IS KAZUYA SAOTOME?!
Where is that idiot who broke the holy dignity of the exam...
...and whose snoring interfered with the exam of I...
...the great Kotaro Nanbara, KAZUYA SAOTOME???!!!!
Uh-oh!
It's Nanbara!
Over here, Nanbara.
Shut up...!
Oh... There you are.
At...the...donut's...center...
...you find a HOLE!
So, here you are, Saotome.
My snoring blew your concentration during the exam?
I'm really sorry about that.
Just what are you talking about...
...my dearest friend?!
Haven't we been best friends for the last 19 years?
Why, when I think back, back in kindergarten...
...I, with my riches, assembled an original super deluxe...
...super-alloy robot to impress everyone with...
...while you, the poor kid, put together...
...a crappy-looking robot out of old tin cans.
But, for some reason... Some bizarre reason...
...your junk-pile robot was the more popular one!
Expensive plastic model built for Nanbara
Kazuya's paper craft
In elementary school, too! AND in middle school!
Expensive R/C racer built for Nanbara
Toy R/C Car
AND in high school!
Game made by Kazuya
Game Nanbara had made for him
Was that really how it was?
Don't you realize how annoying...
...that absent-mindedness of yours is?!
Did you say something?
Oh, no! Nothing important.
By the way...
...I hear you're working hard on Project Doraemon.
Any luck on it?
Well, it hasn't been very successful so far.
Really? Really?
Nothing but failures, day after day, huh?
Tough luck, old man. Tough luck.
Dearest friend, don't worry! I'm here for you, am I not?
"KASUMI HOUSE"
"SHIKISHIMA"
I'm...home.
We-l-co-me ho-me, Ka-zu-ya.
Oh, that's right.
Nanbara Special Deluxe, huh? I wonder what's on it?
I'm so glad you asked!
What's on that disc will make your life come up roses!
Yes! Your PC's performance...
Chance! Romance! Clearance!
Without paying anything, you can upgrade them all!
Recorded on it is an access password to a secret web site...
...made just for a poor guy like you!
Wow... A secret site? Can I really have this?
Of course! Feel free, O dearest friend of mine!
Thank you, Nanbara.
Well, let's give it a try.
"Accessing"
"Nanbara's Room"
Welcome to Nanbara's Room
By now, the Nanbara virus in that program has infected Saotome's PC.
Oh...! Disaster! Calamity! His ultimate comeuppance! I hope...
To enter the Nice Science Chance secret site...
...please click on the address indicated.
Go on! Click-click! Click-click! Click-click!
I will speak the password to you. It must be entered EXACTLY!
Otherwise very bad things will happen to you!
The topic is "Emperor Nanbara's Rapid Hits!"
Hit them all if you can! Can you do it?
Here we go...
Three...
Two...
One...
Zero!
...is what I'll say, and then we'll start.
Scare you? Anyway, here we go for real. Three...
...twoonezero! Number one! I have more money than anyone!
- Agh! No fair! No fair! - My name is Kotaro Nanbara!
I live to exterminate Kazuya Saotome...
...the cause of my misfortune!
The great Nanbara is just nice little Kotaro!
A rich nice guy!
Kazuya Saotome doesn't have any money!
From here to eternity, he'll always be poor!
Nanbara is the greatest! Saotome is a disgrace!
Nanbara is distinguished! Saotome will be extinguished!
I am big! I am the king! I am rich!
Big! Hot! Successful!
How much longer? How much longer?
Since I was born, my dream has been...
...to head a huge company that runs the world!
But the shallow dream of my rival Saotome has been--
...to build Doraemon!
Oh, no...
So long, sucker!
What the...?
...has been to head a huge company that runs the world!
But the shallow dream of my rival Saotome has been--
To build Doraemon! To build Doraemon!
Build! Build! Build! Build!
What the hell...?
Don't watch TV dressed like that.
Ri-i-i-ight!
"KASUMI'S ROOM"
I guess this is failure number 38.
That's it! Now suffer, Saotome!
But what's with that ladder up there?
I have to know! Alien mind control rays drive me to look!
Damn you, Saotome! This is all your fault!
To build Doraemon! To build Doraemon!
It's no use! I can't stop it!
It finally stopped.
Coming!
The delivery you ordered, sir. Please take it.
Oh, sure...
Your name stamp, please?
Hm? Oh, right.
The stamp, the stamp... Here--
That's strange... Excuse me, I have my stamp, so...
"To: Kazuya Saotome, 1-28-8 Momijidori Momijiyama City, Kanagawa From: The Cyberdyne Corporation"
Who was that? Newspaper bill collection?
Or maybe a surprise visit from a girlfriend to break up with you?
It was just a delivery.
Well, that was my first guess.
Um, Kasumi? Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Oh. I'm glad you're okay...
Shikishima's back!
Shikishima? Your rent's six months overdue!
I'm coming over to get it, so don't move from there, okay?
Uh, Kasumi? Just go out into the hallway.
I can't go dressed like this. I'll come back after I change.
Kasumi! I think Shikishima's making a break for it!
He what?!
Why, that dirty... Damn him! He won't get away this time!
Oh, and Kazuya?
Yeah?
Thanks for saving me.
It's too small in here! It's dark in here!
I can't see anything!
What the hell...?
Excuse me? Can you let me out now?
- Uh, sure! - Get me out of here
Hang on a second! I'll open it right now.
Okay? I'm opening it.
Thank you.
Huh?
Are you okay?
Yes. Thank you.
I was just a little surprised, that's all.

My name is May. Cyber Doll May.
Oh, right. I'm a 2nd year electrical engineering student...
...at Ochanomizu Industrial University.
Student number E5 523-99. Kazuya Saotome.
You're a 99, like me!
Like you?
Yeah! One moment, please...
Look! This is my production number. Type G-99!
See? I'm a 99, like you are, Master Kazuya!
Master Kazuya, your face is getting red.
Um, can I ask you something else?
Sure, Master Kazuya! What can I do for you?
Um, first of all, could you not call me master?
I'm not that important.
Sir Kazuya?
Monsieur Kazuya?
Pass.
Mr. Kazuya?
Look, could you just call me Kazuya?
Okay!
Kazuya.
Kazuya?
Oh, sorry! Uh...?
It's May.
Right. Ms. May...
You don't need to say "Ms." with my name.
Oh, sorry. Miss May?
You don't need "Miss," either. Just call me May.
Okay... Um, M-May...
Yes?!
May,just what are you? Where do you come from?
I'm a maid robot created by the Cyberdyne Corporation.
I'm small, but I have many talents.
For example...!
For example...?
And let's turn to tomorrow's weather in the Kanagawa region.
Coming in from the south is...
I can do things like that.
It's not very useful, is it?
Oh, no! I was so impressed I couldn't say anything!
- Really? - Really! Really!
I'm so glad! I didn't know what I'd do if you didn't want me.
He got away! Well, I'll get him tomorrow!
Mm... Delicious!
Incredible! Incredible, May!
You really think so? You really think so?
Okay, now I'll change both the channel and the volume at once!
May!
What's wrong? May! May! May!
Kazuya, cyber dolls like me...
...only have a low battery charge when they first arrive.
Wh-What should I do? May?
Plug in the battery charge backpack that was in the box I came in...
Let's give it a try!
You're gonna be dead on your feet again tomorrow, Kazuya.
Good night.
All right, this looks like it'll work. All that's left...
Nothing there. If the power plug isn't there, then it must be...
It-It-It's not there! Or there! Or there!
Not there, either. Which just leaves...
Masanori...
Kazuya...!
Oh, sorry. Sorry. You all right, May?
Yes! I'm fine, thank you!
Thank goodness. I was really worried there for a while.
But the way, Kazuya, what's this cord?
Oh? Well, about that...
I know it's in here... Got it!
May, could you turn around for a sec?
Huh? Sure...
Hold still.
Right.
There we go.
So, do you like it?
Yes! Very much!
I'm glad.
I'm sorry, but your charger broke when it fell.
I had to hack your USB port. I wasn't sure if you'd mind, but...
Yo!
Kazuya, you stayed up all night working on Ikariya again, didn't you?
C'mon, can't it at least give me a "yo" in return by now--
Yo...
Who did this?! Who did this to my beloved car?! WHO DID THIS?!
My name is May. Just call me May, please.
Could you just charge her the child's price for rent, please?
Could you, please?
My master, Kazuya, always blushes when he looks at me.
He must be very shy.
I'm very small, so I have to be careful not to fall again.
I wonder if our neighbor, Kasumi, will agree to a child's rate for me.
Ikariya doesn't say much, but I hope we can be friends.
I'm glad I seem to be living in such a fun place.
Although Kazuya's room seems a little dusty.
I'll clean it all up as thanks for this wonderful ribbon he gave me!
All right! I'm going to give this job my best!

Oh, forgive me. My name is Samba-- Rumba-- NANBARA!
