Ichinose:
Kentaro! Kentaro! Did Kentaro come this way?!
Godai:
No.
Ichinose:
Hold on to him if you find him, will you?
Godai:
Obasan, what happened? Wonder what she's mad about.
Ikuko:
What did Kentaro-kun do?
Godai:
I don't know.
Ichinose:
Kentaro!

Maison Ikkoku Episode 44
Even Kentaro Turns White?! Yotsuya's Frightening True Identity
Godai:
I'm pretty sure I can go to your home next week.
Ikuko:
Don't push it.
Godai:
Don't worry.
Ikuko:
It's a little boring though.
Kyoko:
Take care of Father for me. Be careful.
Ikuko:
Sure! Bye bye!
Kyoko:
Would you like dinner? I cooked some for Ikuko-chan.
Godai:
Sure! Let's eat!
Ikuko:
What's wrong?
Kentaro:
I'm sorry.
Ikuko:
It's okay. I know. Your mom's mad.
Kentaro:
She found the test I hid.
She said she's not mad about the grade...
...but about the fact that I hid it.
Ikuko:
I guess that's that. You shouldn't cry just over that.
Kentaro:
That's not it! That's not why!
Will you promise me you won't tell anybody else?
Ikuko:
What is it?
Kentaro:
Will you promise to keep it a secret?
Ikuko:
I promise.
Kentaro:
This is why. Ready?
Sign:
Tokyo Olympics
Ikuko:
This?
Kentaro:
Yotsuya-san of room 4.
Ikuko:
He hasn't changed a bit, has he?
What year was the Tokyo Olympics?
Do you know?
Kentaro:
There's more. Look at this.
Ikuko:
Wow! Soldiers!
Kentaro:
Look carefully.
Ikuko:
No way.
Kentaro:
The next one's even scarier. Look at this.
Ikuko:
Upon topping-out the ceremony of Ikkoku-kan.
I saw this picture.
The boy behind the clock tower is Grandfather.
Kentaro:
Look here!
Ikuko:
It can't be.
Kentaro:
I found it in the attic.
Nobody could do this, even if it was a joke, could they?
Ikuko:
But that means Yotsuya-san is...
Kentaro:
Is what?
Ikuko:
Forget it.
Kentaro:
Tell me!
Kentaro:
I bet she'll be mad again.
It's so far away.
No. I can't hold it anymore.
Ikuko:
He could be a vampire...
...a time traveller...
...or an immortal sage.
Yotsuya:
You saw it, didn't you?
Is that a ``Specium Beam''?
Kentaro:
What's that?! That's a cross!
Yotsuya:
Such things won't work on me!
Kyoko:
Would you like some tea?
Ichinose:
No thanks.
Ichinose:
Kentaro was...
Forget it. I don't want to bother with it.
Kyoko:
Godai-san said Kentaro-kun was acting funny.
What happened?
Ichinose:
Godai-kun did?
I sermoned him a bit and he's been acting nervous ever since.
I don't remember raising him to be that kind of kid.
[ring ring! ring ring ring! ring ring!]
Kyoko:
Yes, this is Otonashi.
Oh, Ikuko-chan.
A picture? What about a picture?
Godai:
I never knew there were such photos.
I admit Yotsuya-san is a bit out of the ordinary...
...but that's impossible.
Do you know Yotsuya-san's first name?
Isn't it written ``Kamekichi'' and pronounced ``Tsuruji''?
Kyoko:
He told me to write it ``Fuji'' and pronounce it ``Kawada-cho''.
Godai:
Both of them are lies.
Kyoko:
Now that I think about it...
...we know nothing about Yotsuya-san, do we?
Godai:
True. Except for his peeping hobby.
Ichinose:
What're you two doing here?
Godai:
What do you mean?
Ichinose:
Come on, let's go.
The Coach wants to talk with us.
Kyoko:
The Coach?
Mitaka:
That's right! How come such a dubious man lives there?
I've always wondered about it.
Otonashi-san, we must reveal his true identity.
Kyoko:
B..But that's a bit...
Mitaka:
We must act now. Is that okay?
Godai:
What's Mitaka-san doing here?
Ichinose:
I don't know.
Mitaka:
Hey over there!
You're too soft! Listen to what I have to say!
Godai:
Is it really necessary to go that far?
Mitaka:
Then you seriously think he'd tell you the truth if you asked him?
That if you asked Yotsuya-san a question, that he would answer it truthfully?
Godai:
Of course not.
Mitaka:
Exactly. You're exactly right.
Godai:
But shouldn't we be more subtle?!
Mitaka:
So, we'll follow him quietly...
...and find out about his private life. That's what I'm trying to say.
Don't you agree, Otonashi-san?
Kyoko:Yes.
Akemi:
I'm out. I'm not good at this kind of thing.
Mitaka:
Feel free. I can't help it.
But make sure you don't...
Akemi:
I know.
I wouldn't tell.
Mitaka:
Please don't. Now for the details of the plan.
Yotsuya:
Quiet, quiet. ``Quietly silent. It is like a forest.''
It's too quiet around here.
Ichinose:
Hey. I hope Godai-kun's up already.
Kyoko:
I don't know.
Ichinose:
What time do you think Yotsuya-san is leaving?
Kyoko:
Well...
Ichinose:
I hope he didn't decide to stay home today.
Kyoko:
Why don't you calm down a bit?
Ichinose:
Me? I am calm.
Kyoko:
I better go wake Godai-kun.
Yotsuya:
Good morning.
Ichinose:
G..Good morning.
Yotsuya:
I'll be leaving.
Kyoko:
What should we do?
Ichinose:
We'll lose him.
Kyoko:
Why don't we not try today?
Ichinose:
Oh no, we can't.
Mitaka-san is all set to go.
Kyoko:
Then we better go get Godai-san.
Ichinose:
Sure. You go.
Kyoko:
Right.
Ichinose:
I'll go get Godai-kun.
Kyoko:
I don't like this.
Yotsuya:
I have forgotten something.
Ichinose:
Hurry up! Hurry up!
Godai:
W..Wait a second! Obasan!
Ichinose:
Kanrinin-san! Kanrinin-san!
Akemi:
There they go.
Godai:
Now this is weird.
Yotsuya-san's illegitimate child?
Godai:
N..No way.
Child:
Good-bye, Sensei.
Godai:
Sensei?!
Kyoko:
Yes? Godai-san?
Yes. The Tokeizaka bus stop.
I'll phone Mitaka-san right away.
Yotsuya:
Oh, Godai-kun?
I have started to acquire the taste for pachinko.
I'd feel rather lonely playing by myself. It's fate that we met here.
Would you care to join me?
Godai:
S..Sure.
Yotsuya:
Buy me the balls, please.
Ichinose:
Godai-kun blew it.
Ichinose:
Mitaka-san lost him. Your turn now.
Kyoko:
Uh... Well...
Do I really have to be dressed up like this?
Ichinose:
What's wrong? You look great.
Just like when I was young.
Kyoko:
The International Refugee Assistance Group -- Far East Branch?
Ichinose:
Hello? Is that you, Mitaka-san?
I already heard. Get with Kanrinin-san, will you?
She's at...
Kyoko:
How embarrassing.
Mitaka:
You look marvelous.
Kyoko:
Come on.
Mitaka:
Stay down!
Kyoko:
I wonder where he's going.
Mitaka:
I'll follow him this time.
Will you ask about Yotsuya-san in that building?
Kyoko:
Good luck.
Mitaka:
You're exaggerating.
Yotsuya:
Fancy meeting you here.
What are you doing in this neighborhood?
Mitaka:
I was taking a walk.
And what are you doing here?
Yotsuya:
Me? I'm just coming back from work.
Mitaka:
Work? What kind of work?
Yotsuya:
Let's see...
Mitaka:
A rubber-band salesman?
Yotsuya:
For instance, those who are called ``sensei'' aren't necessarily in the teaching profession.
Nor are people who visit associates of that organization.
Emperor Shi of Ch'in built the Great Wall of China...
...but he was by no means a carpenter.
Those who carry around rubber bands could work at the resident registry of a ward office.
A matter of a job is very intriguing, is it not? I must go.
Oh yes... Seven letters.
``A police or detective following a suspect as surveillance.''
Yotsuya:
What do you call that?
Mitaka:
Yotsuya-san, you knew everything, didn't you?
Yotsuya:
Just being cute.
Ichinose:
So your plan backfired completely.
But isn't there any photo that could be used as a clue?
Mitaka:
They could be fake pictures.
He could very well have done that.
Ikuko:
But we have the picture of the topping ceremony at my home too.
Grandfather doesn't know anything about Yotsuya-san.
Godai:
At the Asakusa International Theatre.
Upon completion of the subway.
To commemorate the joining of the Axis.
Norakuro's visit? His family?
Kentaro:
Yeah. It's his family album he thought he lost.
His uncle. His dad. And this is... His grandfather? Yeah.
He said Ikkoku-kan's history is also Yotsuya's family's history.
See ya.
Yotsuya:
Otemoya!
Trailer:
Godai-kun's got finals. It's no use trying to cram now.
Why do we have to prohibit partying?
Next episode on MAISON IKKOKU : "Big Announcement!'' ``Kyoko Tells of Her Love to Godai!"
Huh? No way. You're right.
