Expected levels reached,

but there's an anomaly!

The numbers are too high!

What about the singularity?

Don't stop!

Keep going-

We need more negative energy.

Powerful negative energy!

What's going on?

I wasn't notified of this.

It was my idea.

And now there's

a F.R.I.E.N.D. on the loose.

Was that your idea too?

It must feel great to leave

the Evacuation Center.

Yes.

Thanks again, Mr. Sasaki.

Don't mention it.

I like driving.

I'd take

more long drives if I could,

but my wife

and daughter complain

that gasoline costs too much.

Right, you have a daughter.

Living with two women,

I hardly have any space to myself.

I'll bet it's tough raising a daughter.

Do you get along?

Mom, did you see that?

She's in ninth grade already?

I guess she's got

entrance exams, then.

The hardest part

is choosing a new school.

- Shall I set these here?

- Yes, please.

Ah, sorry.

Look at him go!

Thanks.

Where should I put these?

Masashi, take this in back.

- Careful.

- I've got it.

Wow, boys are tough.

My daughter

would be lying around.

We can handle the rest.

Masashi!

Mr. Sasaki's leaving!

Coming!

Thank you for everything.

Your husband did so much more for me.

This is the least I could do.

Sorry there's not more for dinner.

It's okay. I love this stuff.

There' s Chee-Kama cheese too.

Chee-Kama!

You like Chee-kama, right?

Tastes good, doesn't it?

Chee-kama?

Is someone there?

Look, they're growing rice.

Think they'll give us some?

I don't know about that.

It's a very nice campus.

In our school

we have strict rules,

and our motto is "safety first.

Head the rules before you come.

Yes, sir.

For phys ed...

and swimming.

Go to the Miyata Clothing Shop

to get measured for your uniform.

All right.

We'll be expecting you

tomorrow, then.

I'll bet you're excited, right?

Please take good care of him.

Seems like a pretty strict school.

I hope you make lots of friends.

I'll go get your uniform

and the other things you need.

You go inside.

Bye.

Chee-kama!

What are you?

I'm back.

What happened in here?

The place is a mess!

Keep still.

Sorry!

What is all this?

Where are you going?

Hey! Take your shoes off inside!

You look like...

a Jellyfish!

Are you hungry?

You like Chee-kama.

Come on!

Over here!

Just try and catch me,

Kurage-bo!

Follow me now, Kurage-bo!

Are you okay?

Dad!

You like the Chee-kama I made?

Yeah, I love it.

Yeah?

I'm glad my work makes you smile.

- Hello?

- This is Soma Shoten.

Dad!

Keep still in there.

And so...

Masashi is new here,

so I'm sure he's nervous.

Help him to fit in, everyone.

Thank you.

There's a desk over there.

We'll continue from yesterday.

Open your books.

A local train crosses a bridge

800 feet long.

Keep still.

An express train crosses

the same bridge in 16 seconds.

The express train is 65 feet longer

than the local train.

It travels twice as fast.

Find the length and speed

of the local train.

First we let X stand for...

the speed of the local train

in feet per second.

Since time equals distance

divided by velocity -

Who's this guy?

Yupi, get him!

Quiet down.

That's all for today.

Review your notes.

Tatsuya!

So you have a F.R.I.E.N.D. too?

F.R.I.E.N.D.'?

Don't let it interrupt class, okay?

Chee-kama!

I don't have any more.

You ate it all, remember?

Uncle Naoto's here!

You don't want us here?

That's not what I meant!

I'm happy you're close by,

but this town is dangerous!

You're afraid we'll take time away

from your experiments.

You never change!

Sis!

I didn't move here

to depend on you.

Masashi and I will be fine.

Don't bother worrying.

Tell Masashi -

Hey.

WOW!

Huge lab, right?

That's where I work.

We're researching how to eliminate

all the bad things in the world...

and make everyone happy.

Researching how?

Careful!

One wrong word

and you disappear.

Just kidding.

If you have any trouble

or anything weird happens...

just talk to me.

Okay. I'll be fine.

You sure?

Here. Thanks.

Can I give you a ride home?

No, I'm okay.

I'll get back to work.

Okay. Bye.

Masashi.

See you around.

We now see the mechanism

of natural disasters

from a new perspective.

We know that convection stress

on the Earth's crust

is the cause of earthquakes.

We're now learning to control

the source of that convection.

Surmising that the universe began

from a single life form,

we've discovered the fife force

that is its prime mover.

By accumulating that force,

we can prevent natural disasters.

We've established that on Earth,

this force is strongest

in human children.

They generate this force

from negative energy...

anger or sorrow.

To collect this energy,

we've devised a formula

using eight ancient rites...

that draw on spiritual

and out-of-body techniques.

The magic circle" converts

their emotions into particles,

which are sublimated into energy.

To our surprise,

the energy from the circle

took on the form of creatures

that resonated with the children.

We have named these creatures

Life form"...

Resonance"...

Inner energy...

'Negative emotion...

and Disaster prevention.

F.R.I.E.N.D.

Why are you watching

such an old video?

No reason.

Is there a problem?

You look pale.

I'm home.

Hi, Masashi.

You sure are cute.

Kurage-bo!

Go! Go!

Yeah! Yeah!

Juran, now!

Not yet!

I'm waiting for the right moment!

Get him, Yupi!

Wipe him out!

Go, Shimon!

What are you doing here?

Who are you?

You know this kid?

He's the new transfer student.

A new kid?

Yeah.

He's got a F.R.I.E.N.D. too.

It beat Yupi.

Shut your mouth!

So it's strong, huh?

Show it to us.

Show us your F.R.l.E.N.D now!

- Where's your device?

- Device?

What's with this kid'?

Show him.

Kurage-bo?

You call your F.R.I.E.N.D.

Jellyfish-boy"?

Looks like it ran away!

Masashi!

What the heck is that?

Yupi!

Get in there and fight!

Kurage-bo, go!

WOW!

Whoa!

What is that thing?

I hate fighting.

Uh... thanks.

Thank Luxor.

He takes his daily walk

through here.

He's weird.

Where's your device?

I don't have one.

I never met an owner without one.

You all have them?

I got mine last summer.

Today our nation finds itself

in an unprecedented state of crisis.

Corrupt authority

has laid waste to our very souls...

and our environment...

and left us with all but permanent

radioactive contamination.

We, the chosen people

of the Earth Salvation Society,

make it our mission

to cleanse this land!

Saki?

Where are you going?

Just to the bathroom.

Hurry back.

Cleanse your hearts!

Rise up and save

all of God's children!

One bad thing after another, huh?

You may have potential.

Take this.

F.R.I.E.N.D.

-

a friend who will never betray you.

The black-cloaked {our

gave a device

to every kid in town.

Everyone learned

to use them very quickly.

But the big F.R.I.E.N.D.s started

beating up the little ones.

The kids with powerful ones

fanned groups and started battles.

I hate fighting.

Hide him! They'll see!
