I wished upon a star when I was in trouble.
I wished for a dad who wouldn't leave.
I wished for a tasty school lunch.
I wished for a fun school without bullies.
But...
What was it I truly wanted?
Takopi's Original Sin
So like I said, I returned to Earth to make Marina-chan happy.
Not Shizuka Kuze-pi.
I have no idea what you're talking about!
You're not making any sense, you know.
I'm saying we should go find Shizuka-chan-pi.
She was gone when I woke up. And then you came along, Azuma-kun.
I can't help you look for her.
Huh?
I just can't.
I can't see Kuze-san anymore.
This is the last time I'll see you, too.
Pi?
Azuma Clinic
My family's going through a lot right now.
Azuma Clinic Sorry, we are closed today.
My mother's bedridden due to stress.
My father's back, but who knows what's going to happen to the clinic?
So I can't cause any more trouble for my family.
I gotta go back soon. But I wanted to give you—
Azuma-kun.
Why would you say something like that-pi?
Nuh-uh-pi. I don't want you to go anywhere-pi.
Not seeing each other anymore would make me sad-pi.
Didn't you have fun when you played with me-pi, Azuma-kun?
Of course I did.
So why are you saying goodbye-pi?
Is it because I'm stupid and bad?
I don't understand-pi. I don't understand at all-pi.
I told you...
Why do I still want to see Shizuka-chan smile-pi?
I don't get it-pi.
Shizuka-chan is a bad girl, and she hurt me.
She's the reason Marina-chan is sad.
But she's also nice and shared her bread with me.
And it was so much fun when we played together.
So I don't understand-pi.
How can she be a good girl when she's also so bad?
Duh. That's how it is.
Huh?
People can be good and bad at the same time.
You're only realizing that now, you stupid octopus?
Pi?
You sure are stupid.
Huh?
Kuze-san is too. She doesn't do her homework.
And as for me...
I'm the stupidest.
Then, um, why are you—
Even so...
It was fun when the three of us hung out.
For the first time in my life, I actually looked forward to going to school.
And that was because we were friends.
Even though you're a dumb airhead who's no better than a piece of trash, you're kind.
You called me amazing even though I'm just a useless, hopeless idiot.
And I know you meant it because you're too stupid to lie.
So I came to say thank you.
This is your gadget, isn't it?
I'm sorry for taking it without asking. You can have it back.
I had lots of fun hanging out with you two.
But I guess I wasn't enough for her.
I tried saving Kuze-san just to impress myself,
but in the end, I couldn't do anything.
I bet trying to save her was a mistake in the first place.
Although I gave it my best shot.
Azuma-kun.
I gotta go now. I only meant to sneak out for a little bit tonight.
Um, please wait a second-pi.
U-Um, so like...
Those things around your eyes look different than before-pi.
When humans grow, do their eye things change shape?
He bought them for me with his final paycheck from work.
Because he got fired.
Junya might not get to go to college.
Azuma-kun?
Hey, octopus. Do me a favor.
There's a gadget that can rewind time on Planet Happy, right?
Pi?
If... If you bump into me again, tell that version of me:
"Don't be afraid to have fights with your big bro."
Bye-bye, Takopi.
Bye-bye, Azuma-kun.
Trying to help her wasn't enough.
Tokyo Two Young Girls Missing
\hA cry of grief: "Give us our daughters back!"
The Truth Behind the Kidnapping Case?!
The Mysterious Disappearance of the Yamashita Family
Voices of Relief as the Two Missing Girls Found Safe
A Girl Behind the Incident? Was it Done by a Mother and Daughter After Being Abandoned?
I finally found you-pi.
Shizuka-chan!
Shizuka-chan, there's something I want to tell—
Move. I'm going to the animal shelter to find Chappy.
I gotta look inside the stomachs of the staff, too.
I'm not moving-pi!
You'll make the people at the animal shelter sad if you do that-pi.
You shouldn't do things that will hurt other people-pi.
Worthless crap
I don't want you to hurt people-pi, Shizuka-chan.
Because it'll make me sad, too-pi.
I know you'll be sad, too-pi, Shizuka-chan.
I know you've gone through a lot and been by yourself for a long time-pi.
So Shizuka—
Huh? So what was I supposed to do?
My dad looked at me like he didn't know me.
So what should I have done?
Shizu...
If Dad's not just my dad anymore, what was I supposed to do?
When I was told I couldn't get on the ferry by myself, what else could I have done?
Shizuka-chan, that hurts.
I don't have a grown-up who will look after me.
When Mom stopped coming home...
what should I have done then?!
And what about when my notebook went missing?!
Pi!
They all say I stink, but where do I stink?
Pi!
Mom never told me!
Well?!
Pi! Pi!
What was I supposed to do when I couldn't see Dad whenever I wanted?
What should I have done when nobody turned up to school on parents' day?
Pi! Pi!
What was I supposed to do when everyone got mad at me about Chappy barking too loudly?
Pi! Pi!
What should I have done when an adult asked, "Are your parents home?" but no one was?
What was I supposed to do?
Tell me, who should I have talked to about these things?
Nobody ever cared about me, remember?
So answer. All of it.
All of it. All of it!
What are you saying I should've done?!
I don't know-pi.
Huh?
I'm sorry, Shizuka-chan.
It's too hard for me to understand-pi.
Fuck you. That's no excuse.
Ow!
You're useless, then.
Let go of my hand.
It's a Happy Handshake-pi.
The heck?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Shizuka-chan.
I'm sorry I'm not able to do anything for you-pi.
And I'm sorry for always trying to do something for you
when I had no idea how you felt, Shizuka-chan.
I'm...
I'm sorry for not listening to what you had to say-pi.
I'm sorry for not trying to understand you-pi.
Shizuka-chan, I'm sorry for leaving you all by yourself-pi.
Shut up.
Just shut up.
Shizuka-chan.
My dad won't come back no matter how much you apologize.
Pi.
My mom doesn't love me, either.
Shizuka-chan.
Chappy won't come back, either.
It's too late for everything.
I know, Shizuka-chan.
I'm sorry, Shizuka-chan.
Use only when we're in serious trouble!
Shizuka-chan, I'm so happy-pi.
It's just you and me.
And...
Yeah.
And well...
I actually have a special gadget I want to show you-pi.
A Happy Camera!
When you take a photo with this and feed it back into the camera,
you can go back in time to when that photo was taken-pi.
It's broken, so it won't do anything-pi.
Huh.
But...
But you know what, Shizuka-chan?
I actually got my memories back-pi.
There's one last thing only I can do for you.
Wait.
My Happy Powers.
Stop.
By using them...
No.
...the camera will function again one last time.
Wait!
Hold on!
Wai—
If I also lose you...
Shizuka-chan.
I'll bring out the biggest smile you've ever had-pi!
Spending time with you made me so happy-pi.
But I need you to smile-pi, Shizuka-chan.
I can smile. I can smile just fine.
To you, my dearest, I hope you find what you truly want.
Thank you, Shizuka-chan, for playing with me.
Thank you for being friends with me.
And for sharing your bread with me back then...
Thank you, Shizuka-chan.
Goodbye.
I'm sure you'll—
No, wait! Takopi!
Huh?
Takopi's Original Sin
What was I doing here?
Episode 6
To All of You in 2016
Shizuka-chan. Shizuka-chan!
It's time to wake up.
You should hurry, or you'll be late for school.
Shizuka-chan.
Fine.
Good morning, Shizuka-chan.
It's such a nice day today. The perfect day for school-pi.
Oh, "school" is that place you go to every day, right-pi, Shizuka-chan?
Die!
There's no way I'll forget that-pi.
Because you're the one who took me there.
And...
Good morning, parasite.
This girl is Marina-chan.
Hey, you worthless trash. Freeloader.
She loves talking to Shizuka-chan-pi.
Don't you feel any shame for being a drain on the welfare system?
She can be mean, but deep down...
And you're not wearing that chameleon plant today, huh?
Good. Even a sewer rat like you finally realized how filthy you...
Huh? Did I just say "today"?
A chameleon plant?
Uh...
Marina-chan?
You gross me out, you piece of trash!
Oh, that's right. We have to talk about you, too-pi...
Azuma-kun.
So I got into a fight with my big bro yesterday.
Huh? You have an older brother?
He sucks at playing games but he won't share.
I wanna play PS4, too.
Huh?
You have a PS4, Azuma-kun?!
Well, yeah...
That's so cool!
Lucky you!
Let's play together someday.
Sure.
We gotta move classrooms.
Right, yeah.
Let's go.
I didn't know you were into games, though.
I want the latest one, too.
I only have a controller.
To do what with?
My pops just bought it.
Um...
C'mon, Naoki.
Okay.
That's right. You were always alone.
And the same was true for you, too.
Enough is enough, you damn parasite.
Because of you, my mommy cries and my daddy yells every day.
It's all your fault.
All of it! All of it! All of it!
Give me back my mommy and daddy how they used to be.
Give me back my family!
I'm sorry.
Marina-cha—
What's that?
I don't know. Just a doodle I drew.
Gross.
It looks like garbage. Yuck.
It looks catastrophically stupid.
I bet it's useless, too.
Garbage. Just total garbage.
But I bet it does something.
And it follows you around wherever you go.
And it talks to you endlessly.
It won't leave you even though it's stupid to the core.
It won't save you. It just talks instead.
Because...
Happiness is born through talking-pi.
Yup, exactly. That's the most important thing.
What are you crying about? So gross.
You are too, Marina-chan.
What the... What is this?
I don't know.
The most important promise that I'd forgotten about...
I'm sorry, Mama. For not talking with you before I left.
Sol Planet 3: Earth.
To all of you in 2016.
There were so many things I couldn't do for you all.
Family members that left you, and feelings you can't ever get back.
Your mama won't acknowledge you.
And your papa isn't just your papa anymore.
There's nothing I can do, but I hope that you...
and you...
None of you are alone anymore,
so I hope you all reach adulthood together.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
What are you lookin' at?
Nothing.
So, like, it's gonna be rough for my mommy today, so I'll buy her some cakes.
Your mom has it rough every day, Marina-chan.
And whose fault is that?
Better than your parents.
Oh, I want some eye shadow.
You're not even listenin'.
Hey, hold up. Doesn't this thing remind you of something?
Huh? What was it again?
It's...
A ballpoint pen of a rabbit from Saturn!
Wait, what's that?
How should I know?
You're the one who said it.
