What exactly is 'fourth generation'?

How can you do nothing?

People don't understand

my position.

Your position?

People just want a little

peace and quiet.

I work hard.

In this business, the sponsors

keep us going,

from this month to the next.

I want to stay in my job.

I am not saying it like that.

You missunderstand me.

Please try and help me.

We've been here before,

it's just like the last time.

Believe me, I know.

You sure about what you are saying?

The sponsors will drop out.

Can you promise me they won't?

I said that I am sure.

Somehow, you need to do something.

I'm not doing anything!

I told you.

Don't get angry with me.

There is nothing to do!

That is my policy.

Just ignore what other people say.

I trust you to do the same.

Remember this you'll be

a good manager.

Look at the monster.

Look at the enemy

What monster was that?

I don't know

When will you fight again?

The ratings were very good.

Yes.

An increase of 7%

Yes.

Great,

I enjoyed it very much.

Good Morning.

- Good Morning.

Can we talk?

- Yes.

What a beautiful car.

Yes, I like it.

Did you buy it?

- Yes.

Is it a new car?

- Yes.

How much?

100,000. Excellent!

It was a hire purchase.

I've paid in full.

Your dog is very big,

what is his name?

He's called 'Sympathy'.

Behind him is 'Delicacy'.

'Delicacy' ?

Are you working now?

With your dogs?

Yes.

Delicacy.

Isn't he lovely.

Who is your favourite?

I like them both.

No favourite?

Which one is Delicacy?

Did you see the ratings

for last night?

Yes, I saw them,

Very good

Thank You.

-Still worried?

Yes.

We need to keep our audience.

Did you see the 'King of Pain'

last night?

Yeah, I saw it.

And?

- He wasn't so tough.

He was weak then?

Yes, I saw the fight!

Compared to the other monster,

he was right to run.

He would have been beaten.

I agree.

He still needs to grow up

a little.

He should be more serious.

I was dissappointed.

The 'King of Pain' needs

cheering up...

Yes, sounds right...

Certainly. He could be happier.

Have you bought a new car?

I haven't bought one yet.

Why the delay?

You should get one.

Well...

I want you to recommend one for me.

I'll have a look for you.

What do you think of last night...

Our ratings went up like a shot.

Running away wasn't good though?

You are my Manager,

Do you think that I ran away?

You escaped from a bad situation.

You had no choice,

no doubt about it.

I am not a coward,

In that moment...

it was all I could do.

You saw it as well.

You don't have to be like

everyone else,

I hate nationalism.

I know.

Our great nation, Japan

By order of the General...

will punish all big Japanese

You know...

You know...

it's very difficult...

to buy my daughter a present.

It's for her.

I don't know what kids want...

so I bought her a hat.

A hat.

It's a present for her.

The things she likes,

I don't know where to get them from.

You seem very happy?

I guess so!

It's nice in the quiet times.

I am just thinking of...

seeing my daughter again.

How long has it been?

About a month.

Do you always come to this place?

Yes.

My wife lives near here.

I can get here very easily.

Please don't think this is a

big man's doctrine.

This is all down to fate.

You are much happier.

Please don't!

It doesn't happen often.

Right.

I just want to see my daughter,

January is only once a year.

Usually, I have to work.

I can't always get here.

Do you think about her often?

I know she thinks a lot of me.

It's very difficult.

Hey.

She's at the bar.

Is that her?

I didn't tell her I was with you

and the crew.

It doesn't matter

Okay...

She's probably worried about...

whether she is made up or not.

Let's see...

Your work isn't normal is it?

Pardon?

Tell them...

just explain who you are, okay.

Sorry.

I will bring his daughter...

but please promise me you

won't film her face.

I didn't know what he had

planned for today.

Muffle the words and use a mosaic.

They don't need to use the mosaic!

If people know who she is

she will be humiliated!

She will not be humiliated

by anyone!

Please lower your voice.

Why, don't be ashamed of me.

If they muffle the words and

use a big mosaic?

I disagree there's nothing to

hide from here.

If you agree to my terms you

can proceed. If not...

We don't need the mosaic!

I....................

Do you like your father?

I don't know.

What do you think of

your father's work?

I don't know

Do you want to be with your father?

Always.

How long have you been seperated?

About six months.

Six months?

-Yes.

Has this been a sad year?

No, it hasn't been too bad...

He comes to see her once a month,

that is the limit.

Will you get divorced soon?

I have been thinking about it...

I...

I do want to divorce.

I don't really know what he

thinks about it, though.

He loves our daughter very much,

He is very close to her you know.

Very close.

Yes.

She may also share her fathers'

special ability?

No, this is simply not true,

It would not be good for her.

To live like that...

I would be upset.

Where do you work now?

I work in a friends' shop.

Yes...

the manager there

is my friend.

The work there is quite vigorous.

So, that's why.

Yes.

This recording is

something I can give to the

'King of Pain' to see.

Yes, that's fine...

What kind of person is

your husband?

He is a very common Japanese man.

Summer

It's really hot.

Yes.

It shouldn't rain today.

My insurance has gone up!

It's very hot!

Yes.

Very hot.

A new monster has appeared!

Strange Flavour Monster

...His body will send out

a strange flavour!

This is the secret skill

of the strange flavour monster.

What's up?

You gone crazy?

What?

Because of you...

a lot of people round here can't

get home.

I am the strange flavour

monster...

don't talk to me like that!

You're causing trouble...

get back to the suburbs!

Who do you think you are?

...With that pathetic stick!

What is that! Such a terrible

facial expression.

Watch what you say!

Idiot!

Think you can say what you like,

because you are bigger than me?

Who is bigger?

-You.

What?

Look, I don't know who you are...

But you just stand here...

blocking my traffic!

Just ignore them, like I do.

Don't do that.

What trouble has that car done to you?

Don't... C'mon, stop it now...

Stop breaking the glass. Leave it now...

Die!

It's my duty to protect this nation!

Shut up!

Where do you come from?

The West!

Return!

I've just arrived!

What do you want?

I won't tell you!

Speak up!

Look there...

He arrived soon after me.

Who is that?

Does he think this is a contest?

Maybe he wants to fight you?

Looks like he takes after me...

No...

this isn't right.

He's totally undisciplined.

Have a good look at him.

He is still a kid,

Just 10 years old.

No understanding of what he is.

Hey...

Don't do that.

Get him to stop.

I can't.

Who can control him?

He is is just a child.

He has too much energy.
