In 1543, guns were introduced to Tanegashima from Portugal.
- Does it matter what year it is? - It will be on the test.
- You need to memorize it properly. - Seriously?
Why don't we just ask Siri to tell us that?
What if your iPhone breaks?
- Then I'll have it repaired immediately. I'll die without my phone.
The guns were a revolutionary invention.
The way we fought in the warring states changed all at once.
Hmmm, I think the iPhone is more revolutionary.
At the Battle of Nagashino, Takeda's cavalry,
which was said to be the strongest at the time, was defeated by Oda Nobunaga's gunmen.
- Nobu? - Yes, that Nobunaga.
I wonder how's Nobu doing now?
Well, that was 500 years ago, so he's not exactly alive today.
Ah, that's right, it feels weird.
- We just met him not long ago. - Tanida-san.
- Hmm? - Are you gonna study?
- Nope. - Huh? Then why am I suddenly
teaching you history? - For the live stream.
Ah, a comment came in saying "Ebata is cute."
Stop it, you can't just go around streaming without asking!
Come on!
Ah... You ended it.
I thought that Tanida-san was finally thinking
about the future and was going to face the exams... I'm disappointed.
Don't be disappointed, my future has already been decided.
Eh?
I, Tanida Jun, will be an influencer!
I don't know about that kind of unstable work.
You don't want to live a life of roller coasters with mountains and valleys, do you?
Sounds super fun to me, the screaming machine life?
I've studied history.
I don't know what the future holds.
So I'll just do something fun right now.
Ah! I wanna ride on the Fujiyama!
Fujiyama (Roller coaster ride)
Hey, let's go to Fuji-Q next time, Ebatacchi.
Fuji-Q Highland (Amusement Park)
- Huh? Eh? - Ah! I want to ride the Do-dodonpa!
- I'd like to go. - Yes, it's fine. I don't mind.
Really? YES!
Whoa!
He's here!
You need to learn a little.
Don't stand in front of the locker, it's dangerous.
No, no, no, no. Then why
do you need to use the locker? Old man, I had no idea
that you were coming back!
Would you stop saying "old man"? I'm your descendent 500 years from now.
To me, you're...
Great, great, great, great grandmother.
But I don't like being treated like an old lady.
Fujita-san, is it possible that something else
has happened in the future in 2520? - Yes.
A new bug was found in the space-time management system program
that was attacked by hackers.
So history is changing again and the future is in jeopardy?
Super extremely.
It's bad.
Am I using it correctly? I learned it in the ancient texts.
- So, it's ancient text. - And if it goes on like this,
what does the future look like?
- Ah, Starbucks is burning... - That's not the point.
It's Tokyo in three years. One country's dictator
accidentally hits the launch button for a nuclear missile.
Accidentally...
- So, what history is going to change now? - Yeah, about that...
Well, we'll just go back in time and solve the bug or whatever it is,
and that should fix the program, right?
Wait a minute, Tanida-san. Are you planning on going back?
Because three years from now is we become adults.
I want to be able to drink and be merry with everyone else.
We have to go back in time!
Last time it just happened to work out.
Ah... or rather, Tanida-san didn't do anything.
- Chances are it'll work out again - You're too optimistic.
I'm in your debt. You are the future saviors of the world.
Savior? That sounds super inspirational!
And? Who is the eminent person with the bug this time?
- Yeah, about that... - Then let's go save the future.
Hey, it's not like we're going to convenient store. We still don't know anything
- Until the very end of history... ItteQ! - It's not a Q!
A play on word for Ittekimasu. Instead of "ki" she used "Q"

Escape from the Historical Labyrinth
Hmm... Edo air, so good!
Ah, Ebatacchi, let's look up some of the recommended gourmet restaurant in Edo.
When the mission is complete.
We went back in time to 1830. Which means that we are looking
for an eminent person from the late Edo period, right?
Yes, that's right.
What's this?
It's quite...
Fujita-san, old man? Do you hear us?
Eminent person!
Yes.
The eminent person with the bug is
Katsushika Hokusai.
Is he a Kabuki artist?
- Ah, was he in Hanzawa Naoki? - No!
He's a famous painter. Have you not heard of the 36 Views of Mount Fuji?
Ah! I know!
He's the one who did that.
I worry for the future.
Katsushika Hokusai is not his real name. It's like his pen name.
His real name is Kawamura Tetsuzo.
Apparently, Hokusai was quite an oddball.
He moved from places to places 90 times in his lifetime and change his pen name 30 times.
Mori Hinami...
Hmm? Is that a pseudonym?
No, no, it's not.
Anyway, just find Katsushika Hokusai.
A, let's go over there. Ebatacchi.
Ah? Ah, Mori Hinami...
I don't have anything that looks good.
That is a very buzzworthy.
I thought you were going to be the savior of the future?
That's right. We're the saviors.
Ah, I'll go on ahead a little.
I'm going to look for Hokusai while I'm taking pictures.
It should be the opposite!
Ah, she's too selfish.
Ah! Ah, that's right. Fujita-san?
How will the history of Katsushika Hokusai be changed?
Fujita-san, can you hear me?
Ah, if we didn't restore the history,
Hokusai would be beheaded for putting graffiti
on the gate of Edo Castle. Prevent that.
Hey! What the hell are you doing?
You can't put paintings on here!
I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Please forgive me.
If you're going to apologize, do it to the people at the temple!
They would definitely be angry at this.
Whoa!
It's so Banksy-ish!
The level of graffiti is seriously amazing.
What are you doing, Tanida-san?
- Who's that? - Eh!?
Grandpa, are you
Katsushika Hokusai?
Yes.
I called myself that a long time ago.
Katsushika Hokusai
- I got(get) Hokusai! - Yes!
- Ge? Ge... - Get! Get! Get!
Whoa, what a dump.
Ah...
I can't find the teapot.
Hokusai-san, don't worry about us.
You really like painting, don't you, Hoku-ji.
Hoku-ji. Hokusai and jiisan(grandpa)
What's with that name? That's harsh, you're not that close.
Hoku-ji? Right? Hoku-ji.
Everything else is a bother except for painting.
I'd like to paint when I have the time.
Let's paint and live.
I want to paint a new picture!
That painting has ambitions to change the world!
- Let's just paint on everything we can! - Yay!
♪ Come on, let's do it, let's do it. Let's paint. ♪
Wow! Eh? No way. He's rapping?
Yes, it's a complete bug.
Hoku-ji, you are so funky!
♪ - Funky, funky, funky, let's keep painting! - Funky, funky, fun- What's that? ♪
- Hey, Hoku-ji! - Ah, Funky!
- Yay! Yay! - Yay! Fun-fun-funky!
Hey, Ebata-kun! Hurry up and send me the mystery.
I'm sorry. I haven't found the mystery yet.
The house is too cluttered.
Eh? That's strange. Then how did the countdown begin?
Eh? It's already counting down?
The mystery is definitely in the house. We need to find it.
If we don't solve the mystery and enter the code within the time limit,
history will be settled incorrectly.
Yeah, I'm aware of that.
I'll protect your future, too, I promise.
Hey!
- What are you doing here? - Eh? Ah. Well...
I have nothing.
Wasn't Ebata the only one in History club? So who are you from?
Ah... I'd say from Class year 2520...
What are you talking about? You dressed like that... Is it for the drama club?
Ah... yes, right there.
- Then what are you doing here? - I am preparing for a role.
What did you say? There's been a lot of thefts in the club room lately.
- Eh? - What do you think you're doing in another club room...
- Hey, what is that? - Eh? Ah, well, it's nothing.
- No... don't look. - Huh?
- No, no, Not this one. - Not that one?
No, just this one, really.
Where is it? The mystery.
So... Hoku-ji, you're in a slump.
- Sla... What's that? - Ah, it means
you're at an end and you can't come up with any ideas.
- Ide... what's that? - The past is seriously annoying.
So, Hoku-ji, what's bothering you?
I can't tell you that.
Never mind. We all have things we want to keep to ourselves, don't we?
Anyway, you've been struggling with something,
and you've come up with this strange(Kiteretsu) painting.
- Kitere... What's that? - No, you know it.
Strange... Ah... That's right. Right.
You are very energetic even though you are a girl.
Even though I'm a girl... That's a bit of a sexist topic, Hoku-ji.
That's right. Would you let me paint you?
Eh?
Really?
That's super hot!
You're lying! Ebata is the brightest kid in this school.
He would never have put such an erotic poster on the club room.
What is your purpose being here?
I don't have time to argue with you. No, sorry for today.
Oh, oh, oh... You're really good at drawing.
- And you're in a theater club. - Ebata-kun, what the hell are you doing...
What is this?
You're really good at hiding things. You're a master pervert!
Lit: Pythagorean pervert.
Hey, hey, hey, Stop that.
Peek-a-boo!
Lit: Beron - stick one's tongue out.
- Ah, stop that. - Master pervert...
Stop that.
- Please stop getting into a rhythm. - One, two! - No, Hey.
- One, two! - Wow!
- What do you mean "Wow"? - Let's just hide it.
You can exaggerate it, Hoku-ji.
I will paint you as I feel you should be painted
You don't have to do that. Tanida-san, look for the mystery too.
I thought you were supposed to be the savior of the future!
I am. If Hoku-ji pulls out of the slump, history will go back to the way it was.
- Hold still! - Sorry. Sorry.
What the... The mystery is missing, Fujita-san.
Fujita-san?
What's up with these people? I'm so pissed off!
- What the hell is this? - Eh, what's going on?
- You dirty old man! - I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
I let my imagination run wild!
I'm suing you for sexual harassment!
- You! Hey! - I didn't see it!
You're lying! I'm sure you saw that!
- Ouch! I didn't see it! - You!
- What's going on here!? - Oei.
Who?
She is my daughter.
Daughter?
Hello.
- Peek-a-boo. - Please stop that.
Lit: Piron
Peek-a-boo!
I told you that we need to hide it!
Then you shouldn't have drawn it! Damn...
Don't get in the way of those who can! Study up!
Sorry, that was embarrassing.
I'm sorry I couldn't protect you. Sor...
That's not the problem. It's the mystery.
It's my fault that my father can't paint anymore.
What do you mean? Why is it Oei-chan's fault?
I told my father I wanted to paint too.
I asked him that I wanted to be a painter.
Isn't that right? Dad.
Eh? Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
I'm sorry, I just don't understand...
But if Oei-chan said she wanted to be a painter
then why Hoku-ji are you troubled by it? Are you against it?
Of course I do! She's a woman and she wanted to be a painter.
Painting is a man's world, of course!
Huh? Are you an idiot?
- HEY! - Who are you calling an idiot?
That's not the way a woman should talk to a man!
Because stupidity has no man or woman in it. Because an idiot is still an idiot!
- I don't want to hear this! - What's that?
She's a woman and she can't do it because she's a woman?
Why can't women have dreams if they're born a woman?
Wait... this era, Tanida-san... I don't care what time it is!
Seriously, that's so obvious and natural, it's a load of crap.
Is that why you paint? To crush their painting like that,
that's not you, right? Hoku-ji, you're not that, right?
Just because she's a woman.
There's no way that an old-fashioned guy who can't even paint new things,
would say something like to a woman!
If you want to paint, Oei-chan,
why don't you do it? No matter what anyone says,
Just do what you want to do!
Giving up on your dreams just because you're a woman is so uncool.
Stop, you're so history-changing and righteous!
Hey... Hey!
Don't run away! She can paint on her own!
You will paint, right?
Hey, Ebata-kun, did you find the mystery?
No, not yet.
What are you doing? There's no time left.
Hurry up and find that mystery!
I'm looking for it! But it's not here!
Is it possible that a mystery has already emerged?
Huh? Has a mystery already emerged?
Encrypted bugs don't always appear
on a single piece of paper like they did before this one.
Search the house carefully.
I understand.
Anyway, you need to hurry up!
Where is that mystery?
Here.
What is that?
Dad.
Paint as much as you want.
Do what this girl says
and do what you want.
You only live once.
Yes.
It came... You did it, Oei-chan!
It's all thanks to you, Jun-san.
I don't know how to thank you.
Sincerely...
you have made me rethink the meaning of painting.
I will continue to paint what I want to paint as long as I live.
Good. Good. Good luck!
Hoku-ji!
Ebatacchi, I've successfully got rid of his slump.
Now we have to find the mystery and solve it!
- AH! - Ah... did you find it?
I'll have to upload the photos on my Instagram.
Come on!
No!
Ebata-kun.
We're running out of time...
It's the end... the end of the world...
As Fujita-san said...
Encrypted bugs don't always appear
on a single piece of paper like they did before this one.
Search the house carefully.
This time the mystery has already appeared.
It's a hidden mystery and how do we find it,
and how can we solve it?
Now, we're running out of time! Everyone, hurry up!
Tanida-san. Find the answer to the code with Ebata-kun.
One second, one second! I'll do it after I'm done with this. Right?
Ah, come on... Do it after we solve the mystery!!
Ah... It's no use... time's up.
The answer to the mystery
Ah! Where is that damn mystery!?
Good... Hoku-ji, Oei-chan, are you ready?
For both of your future. Yay!
- Yay! - Yay!
Huh?
Huh? Ah! The mystery. The answer to it!
Huh?
Come on, Ebatacchi, come over here too and say "Yay" together. Hurry.
Hurry. Hurry. Hurry. Hurry!
Hey, is everyone in line? Are you ready? One, two...
Yay!
Ah! The characters came out when we hid them.
Right?
Fu

The answer is Fuji-san!
Fujita-san, the answer is... Fuji-san.
Fuji-san?
Correction successful
Thank goodness...
It worked. Thank you.
Correct Answer: Fuji-san
Fuji-san...
Okay, that's not so bad.
Huh? I suppose you found a motif you'd like to paint?
- Moti? What's that? - Ah, no...
But, well, it looks like it's all going to work out.
No, I don't think it's going to work out that way.
I don't know if I can paint it all now...
Ah, don't worry about that because...
- Whoa! - Don't tell them about their future.
It's a good idea, isn't it?
You really don't know what the future holds.
That's why it's interesting.
Life is.
That's right!
Ah, okay, let's all take a picture together.
Right? Come on.
Okay, okay, okay, okay. Are you ready? Okay.
Yay!
I knew it. You guys could be the savior of the world.
Right? Because I said it, Ebatacchi.
In the language of this age, "The talented hawk hides its claws"... was that it?
- What's that? - You are from this time period, aren't you?
Ebata-kun, you need to make sure
you keep important things well hidden.
What's that? Eh? What's in here?
Ah, wait... No! Give it back!
Ah... this is... different...
Ero-bata...
Ero-bata: Erotic + Ebata
No, no, no, no. I was at an impasse, I was just doodling on my pasttime
I was down in the dump even the eminent person do it.
- Hey.... - I can't.
I can't wrap my head around your words anymore...
Damn... how did this happen...
That's right, Fujita-san! Please return before the notebook is found.
You are not allowed to change the past for personal reasons.
No... please...
Hey... don't look!
- Give it back! - Ero-bata! Ero-bata! Ero-bata!
Ero-bata: Erotic + Ebata
The mystery this time.
