"Kodomo no Omocha"
The rumor that I love you is true. Yes it is.
Whether you're awake or asleep…
You can't avoid it,
…so don't worry about it.
If I sneak into your heart by ridding you of that other love…
…is that a sin?
At sunset, when the children go home,
today's incident is burning love!
You can be sure of it!
7 O'Clock News!
Please, our relationship…
Ah, don't condemn me for a true kiss…
This town without fire…
Let's ignite it with our love!
Ah, don't live carelessly!
That's asking for too much!
I'm Kurata Sana,
a 6th grader and TV personality affiliated with Gekidan Komawari!
Although, you know…
Ups-a-daisy…
It can be really tough being the lead character, ma'am.
Hey! What are you doing!? The show is starting…
What I'm saying is, let us do some stories that are a little different once in a while.
For example, something like this.
Look, could you not proceed with things all on your own?
Good morning!
Kurata Sana is sorry that today, once again, she is so cheerfully late for school!
Oh, that hurt, that hurt!
So, Sana-chan, it looks like nothing happened to you, huh?
W-what do you mean?
Good morning.
What is this!?
"100 Haya-moths and the Scales of Fury"
"Kuraataland"
What's the deal with this ostentatious setting?
We've had it. We've all been afflicted by Haya-moth.
We've been turned into moths!
Haya-moth!? That jerk!
Then again, this could be…
…quite nice, maybe.
Could you stop fluttering around like that? You're dragging me down.
"Haya-moth would be…"
…this unpleasant vermin, who has been troubling Kuraataland of late.
Well, excuse me!
I'm so embarrassed by this, I can't go walking outside!
Aya-moth…
No!!
W-we all look like this now, so don't worry about it.
I suppose that's true, Hisae-moth.
"Hisae-moth" Hey, I don't like the way that sounds.
Okay, okay, everyone, we're starting class.
When it gets dark out, you may want to fly near light bulbs and fluorescent lights,
but resist that urge as much as you can! Getting too close is dangerous, okay?
Even Mitsuya-sensei has been turned into Mitsuya-moth.
Now, Gomi-moth and Itami-moth,
—I'm the only one in the whole class who is unaffected. —you stay in your seats!
We can't stand that! We have to fly!
Sana-chan…
I haven't seen Tsuyoshi-kun anywhere. Do you know where he is?
Oh, now that you mention it…
What do I do? If Tsuyoshi-kun sees me like this, I'll… I'll…
Then again, if Tsutoshi-kun looks like this too, we'll be Aya-moth and Tsuyoshi-moth.
What is it with you?
Princess Sana! Terrible news!
I-it's the queen!
What? What? What's the matter, Rei-kun?
Queen Misako is not around!
Mama is probably just on one of her usual jungle expeditions.
Well, actually… In any case, to the palace!
Hey, hold on, now! Hey!
Sana-chan is leaving early again today, huh?
—Must be tough, being a 6th grade TV personality and princess and all, huh? —Hey! How can you carry me like this! Is this any way to treat a princess!?
—Then again, whoo! Yeah! This is perfectly thrilling! —Yeah.
Ah, Tsuyoshi-kun… but then, if he becomes Tsuyo-moth…
"And so, the princess goes to the palace"
Babbit-moth!
Mama's protective suit?
Yes, it is still there in her room.
"Kuraataland Palace" The queen went into the jungle without her protective suit!
Here! This is where Maro-chan goes.
"Safe!!" Here! This is where Maro-chan goes.
Without her protective suit, she won't be able to escape Haya-moth's scales.
Now that all of her subjects are rapidly turning into moths,
if it should happen to the queen, too, it would be an outrage of…
…mammoth proportions!
"Man moth" proportions…
"Mam moth" I've gone and made another ridiculously cool play on words!
"Mam moth" I wonder if Princess Sana will laugh at it.
I'm going to go save Mama!
She didn't laugh.
Bring me my protective suit!
You mean… that?
I'm completely protected!
Where's the protection? That's a lot different from this one, isn't it?
Princess, dressed like that, you really shouldn't…
No, I'm going! I'm wearing this to go save Mama!
I'm home.
M-Mama…
Were you going out somewhere?
No, I was just trying it on.
But I'm so glad you're unaffected, Mama!
I wasn't unaffected.
—M-my queen, what an unfortunate form you've turned into… —I got done in! I got done in! I got done in!
Even Maro-chan, the chipmunk…
Now, even Mama has been snared by these scales…
You'll pay for this, Haya-moth!
Then again, this body is nice, too.
Mama…
That's pretty chic, Misa-moth and Maro-moth.
What's with this thing!?
—Princess Sana… —What's going on!? Which one's the steering wheel!?
The fate of Kuraataland now rests upon your shoulders. Please… please…
So, you're not going with her?
Well, I've got Asako, and all…
If anything were to happen to me, Asako would be…
Rei!
Y-you look lovely, Asako.
Hmph. That's love for you.
I should just about be at the forest where Mama got done in.
Just you watch, Haya-moth! I will defeat you…
…no matter what!
What are you doing here, Tsuyoshi-kun!? What's more, you're unaffected!
I caught a cold, and was lying down at home, so I wasn't set upon by Haya-moth.
I heard that Aya-chan had been afflicted, too.
For Aya-chan's sake, I will… I will defeat Haya-moth!
Just because you defeat Haya-moth
doesn't necessarily mean it will return Aya-chan and the others to normal.
This isn't a fairy tale, after all.
No… I couldn't take that!
Apparently, it was around here that Mama was sprinkled with Haya-moth's scales.
Oh, a giraffe-moth…
A lion-moth…
And a zebra-moth…
A monkey-moth!
So humans aren't Haya-moth's only victims.
What are those?
There you are, Haya-moths!
—How dare you do that to Mama! —How dare you do that to Aya-chan!
Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
Come on! Come on! Take this!
Amazing, Sana-chan! You got the whole flock at once!
—But Sana-chan, you're scaring me… —You've had this coming a long time!
This is for kissing me twice, and feeling up my chest!
That was unexpectedly easy, huh?
Easy-win samba! Victory mambo! We're having steak tonight! We're so glad!
Hey…
Don't sell us short! Don't sell us short!
—They're immortal! —Hey, wait!
We're getting out of here!
Sana-chan, we're weak!
Hey, wait! Hey, wait!
These are just the grubs, Tsuyoshi-kun. We have to find the head guy!
Grubs, are we?
Tsuyoshi, why you…
—I'm scared! —You've got some nerve!
Their lack of expression is creepy!
Tsuyoshi-kun, hold on tight!
What? What?
You did it! Incredible! Incredible!
But Sana-chan, aren't you getting dizzy?
My eyes are spinning round and round!
You guys are morons!
W-we're lucky we survived, huh?
T-that's because we had on airbags.
No time to sit here talking! What's that!?
Is that the head Haya-moth?
We found him fairly easily, huh?
We only have 15 minutes today.
The second half will be great, too!
Hey!
Occupied.
Look at that, he's got better manners than I expected.
We might find him to be refreshing, enemy though he is.
What are you doing in something like this?
I just played a little prank on the god of the forest.
As punishment, I've been turned into a moth, and locked up inside here.
You poor thing.
I became lonely,
so I sent out copies of myself to try to make friends with everyone.
However, people appear to dislike me now, because of my scales.
—What kind of prank did you play on that god? —That's awful! It's making me cry!
I put a small landmine on the forest god's chair.
I heard it split his butt.
How could he turn you into a moth over something like that!? That god sure is petty!
I-I think it was a rather terrible thing to do…
Sana… I mean, Princess!
If you will behave yourself,
and not make any more copies of yourself, I'll let you out of there.
How about it?
Okay, I'll be a good boy.
I'm not so sure! I'm not so sure about this!
There now, Haya-moth.
You completely fell for it!
I'm finally out of there! Thank you, you stupid Princess Sana.
I'm free!
Y-you tricked me!
They're sticking to me! The scales are sticking to me!
Hi there, I'm Sana-moth.
I'm Tsuyo-moth.
Freedom is great! And here I am, supposed to be afraid of heights.
Hey, you!
Wait the hell up, you dirty Haya-moth! How dare you trick me!
—I'll kick your ass! I'll kill you! —Those are pretty vulgar words for a princess.
You're lousy at flying.
I can't help it, you know! I've only been a moth for 25 seconds!
Like this. Left and right sides balanced and at the same time.
L-like this?
When you get good at it, you can even do stuff like this.
It will just make you dizzy, though.
You're pretty boneheaded there, Haya-moth.
Still, flying is fun, huh?
Isn't it? It's fun.
This is a strange development…
Just a minute!
Don't we give off scales?
It's only me and my copies that release scales.
Here is the thing about boys and girls:
Students should act like students.
Any vulgar speech, love-love on school grounds, dueling,
and dancing other than limbo dancing is inexcusable!
This has been Andoh-moth's lecture.
Hey!
Come down here! I'm going to spank you until you can't scatter any more scales!
Shut up, you wrinkled hag.
You're scattering scales from off your face yourself, aren't you?
By the way, Kurata-san…
Yes?
You are the princess of Kuraataland, right?
Oh, that's right.
You have a responsibility to defend its people!
As princess, you know what to do, don't you?
Haya-moth…
"Haya-moth keel-over spray"
Haya-moth, I am the princess of Kuraataland.
I really do have to put you down.
I didn't want to take on this form, either.
If you're going to kill me, then kill me.
I had fun flying together with you. Thank you.
If I… If I wasn't the princess…
…we would have been able to fly around forever.
When I'm reincarnated, I'll teach you other ways of flying.
I'm sorry, Haya-moth!
Sana… Princess!
Haya-moth!
I'm sorry! I'm sorry, Haya-moth! You were a really nice guy!
W-w-wha-!?
I'm immortal, remember?
I forgot!
"I forgot!"
Those who are put under spells by gods become immortal.
Bye-bee!
Let's give it up. This land is done for.
He won't get away with this!
Hey, wait the hell up!
Are you mocking me!?
Ooh, that was refreshing.
My queen! H-how did you return to normal?
I just took a bath.
It looks like you return to normal right away
once you wash the scales off your body.
What?
Everyone is in a panic because they've turned into moths,
when all they have to do is take baths. Isn't that dumb?
Well, ordinarily, you don't take baths when you're a moth.
Why don't you go tell everyone in the kingdom?
—D-does Princess Sana know about that? —Didn't you hear me when I told you to wait up!?
Don't you speak Japanese!?
I'll get you back for what you did to Mama and Tsuyoshi-kun and the others!
You can even do stuff like this.
L-like this?
Hey, I said wait up!
Aya-moth…
Tsuyo-moth…
Even as moths, we're in love-love!
Don't sell me short!
I'm going to put you down, no matter what!
"Back against the wall."
That's what you say about times like these.
Wait, don't end yet!
Next up is a Sana-chan drawing song.
"Sana-chan's drawing song" I know this is sudden,
"Sana-chan's drawing song" but here's a Sana-chan drawing song. Get your paper and crayon ready!
♪ First there comes a mountain, and then, ♪
♪ water comes splashing down from it. ♪
♪ Get two cups ready, ♪

♪ This is the Sana-chan drawing song! ♪
Um, excuse me a moment! Stop! Stop!
You suddenly started hearing "oo-ga boo-ga," and thought your TV was broken, huh?
Not so, ma'am. This episode takes place in a primitive age.
You won't understand most of the dialogue, so watch out!
Babin-ga-bibin-ga-bonba-bibo
What kind of subtitle is that?
"School! I'm gonna be late!"
"I'm late for school! Rei-kun, take me there!"
Wow, they sure had some grand cars back in primitive ages, huh?
This is a prehistoric school!
Pretty wild, isn't it?
"See here, boss monkey Hayama! Stop acting wild at school! Make them stop!"
"Where's the harm in doing bad stuff? Schools in prehistoric times are such a drag."
Did he really say all that just now?
"The school has been smashed"
"I'm calling you out, Hayama!!"
"Sana, in a fight, winning is all that matters. Winning."
"Hayama, this time, you're going to fight my dinosaur!" "That's fighting dirty."
Hayama might be right about that. "Hayama, this time, you're going to fight my dinosaur!" "That's fighting dirty."
"Come on! Apologize, Hayama!"
"Kill me."
"There's no reason for me to go on living."
"I hate myself. I wish I had never been born."
"There's no such thing as a person who'd be better off never having been born!
"How can you ask me to kill you!?
No matter how hard it is for you, you have to go on living!"
He fell down.
You're under arrest for the crime of pera-rimbo!
"He was a bad guy, but you have to feel bad that he's been pera-rimbo-ed, huh?"
"The magician manga artist, Obaba" Who is this "Obaba"?
"Sana-chan in jail"
"Bottom of feet"
—I'm through with this. —Elsewhere, at that same time…
Tax collector! Tax collector! Tax collector! Tax collector!
That's right! This is no time to be putting on this sort of screwy anime!
What is it? What is it? It's so early in the morning…
"Seized"
What is this!? What's going on!?
The Kurata household… has gone bankrupt.
Bankrupt!?
"Seized"
"Back against the wall."
That's what you say about times like these.
In dire straits,
I've been waiting for an answer.
My confessions are worked out long in advance,
to always go along with the scenario.
My heart may be settled, but my mind is in a…
…panic!!
When my friends invite me by, suddenly,
he's there.
And our usual classroom…
…quick-changes into a merry-go-round…
…for two.
Although I've said nothing but wisecracks…
…up to now, just for today,
I'm going to be honest and sincere,
so BOY, take a look my way!
When my friends invite me by, suddenly,
he's there.
And our usual classroom…
…quick-changes into a merry-go-round…
…for two.
Hoy! In Sana-chan's next adventures…
H-h-how can we suddenly be bankrupt!? What happened to the Kurata household!?
I won't stand for being treated like this, sir!
Those are the same kind of comments I made last time too, huh?
That's okay, that's okay, next time, we really will continue the story!
Next time on Kodomo no Omocha, Episode 40, a tale of farewell in the rain,
Suddenly, One Day, I'm a Homeless Girl
The ending song is going to change!
