Original subtitles

Our plan to seize the DTO planning data and appeal to the Chairman ended in failure,

and we ended up just waiting to be expelled.

At this point we no longer felt any drive to fight back,

no anger, or even any sorrow.

All of our spirits had been utterly broken.

Kiyoshi-dono, as long as we are cleaning the lavatory,

we may as well kill two birds with one stone and answer nature's call first!

With one exception.

Kill two birds with one stone, how?

Don't mind him.

Leave it to you, Gakuto.

Great idea.

Come, gentlemen! Let us relieve ourselves!

Yours truly's idea is free of charge this time,

and you are free to use it!

His spirit wasn't so much broken as it was demolished...

It appears that they have completely accepted their expulsions, haven't they?

They're so submissive, it's almost anticlimactic.

In just a few more days, we will finally purge the school of that scum.

Won't that be refreshing?

Yes.

The boys' food.

Thank you.

The day after next...

The chairman will approve it,

and your expulsion will be formally concluded.

They say that in America, in the state of Texas,

condemned prisoners were once allowed to choose their last meal.

If you think about it,

the day after next will be like your execution day.

So, tell me what you'd like to eat.

Uh, well, I'd like hamburger.

Steak.

I'll take katsudon.

I'll stick with my regular menu.

Dirty Four-eyes, what about you?

Yours truly would like deep-fried grasshoppers over rice!

The fancy variety, it goes without saying.

Very well. Approved.

Approved?!

Um, is it okay if I change my order?

To what?

As an appetizer, I'd like the vice president's crop,

and for the main dish, I'd like a storm of toe-kicks and stomping,

then finally, for dessert, I'd like the vice president to spit on me.

Denied, those are not food items. That is all.

The day after next is our last day, huh?

"It's Chiyo. How are you? I know, there's no way you're okay.

If you can write a reply, leave a little bit of bread,

and please place your message inside it."

Chiyo-chan... What a great girl.

Damn it, I can't believe we have to part ways, too.

I saw that.

Gentlemen!

Kiyoshi-dono has received a note from a girl!

So? What's the harm?

Mm-hmm.

It's all over anyways...

Over? That certainly is true.

If we use this, we can nullify our expulsion, after all.

Huh?

I see it, our means of escape!

Gakuto, don't tell me you were pretending you'd gone nuts!

Like Oishi Kuranosuke, right?

That's cool.

Hurry up and tell us the plan!

We will get out by hiding ourselves within the leftover food, too!

I'll go in the soup!

You hide within the bread crumbs!

Come, gentlemen!

Let us escape this world of oppression with haste!

That's Gakuto for you.

Incredible.

A brilliant idea.

Two more days, huh?

"Chiyo-chan, thank you.

And, farewell."

Are Kiyoshi-kun and the others really getting expelled tomorrow?

Here is your last supper.

Eat with gratitude.

Awesome!

This looks delicious.

Yours truly's looks the most scrumptious of them all!

Gakuto, are you seriously planning to eat that?

Come back to your senses! Those are grasshoppers!

You really shouldn't eat that.

Won't you upset your stomach?

Shaddup!

Don't touch my grasshoppers!

I get it!

You're all out to purloin yours truly's delicious dinner!

If that's your game...

Come at me with the intent to kill!

Knock it off!

Shut up and eat!

Wow, I've never had meat this tender before.

Ah, this is good.

It's great to get to eat whatever you want.

Huh?

Another missive without any future?

I declare, Kiyoshi-dono, what a horny toad of a prisoner you are!

Hey, are you okay?

Just how devastating was that?

I just had... a flash...!

A means of escape just came to me in a flash!

What, are we going to ride your grasshoppers out of here?

This is no time for your asinine jokes!

Hurry up and finish your meals.

What manner of foul cuisine is this?!

What? It's grasshoppers over rice, right?

Grasshoppers?! Why is there such a thing in my food?!

Terrible! This is someone's idea of a dirty trick!

What are you talking about? You asked for it yourself, didn't you?

I do not recall asking for such a thing!

You don't mean, you're...

You're back in your right mind?!

Right mind, nothing. Why is yours truly the only one with such eccentric fare?

Never mind that!

Gakuto, you thought of something, didn't you?!

Mm-hmm.

Kiyoshi-dono, when I saw Chiyo-chan's missive, I thought of something.

One last means of escape.

Are you working on something, Chairman?

Mm-hmm.

I had some miscellaneous business left over... here.

Miscellaneous business, you say?

Miscellaneous business...

Yes!

Very well, then.

Tomorrow is the day I tell that schoolyard scum that they are expelled.

Please do not delay in the processing of your duties.

Yes, I will make sure of...

it.

Also, could I ask you to no longer do your "miscellaneous business" at school?

It's disgusting.

Please excuse me.

I need some blinds...

don't I?

...and that is the plan.

We begin moving tomorrow, gentlemen!

Hm-hm, it appears that yours truly's brilliant plan has astonished you all into speechlessness.

No, it's not that.

Hmm?

Any way you cut it, it's impossible.

We do it with full knowledge that it may be so!

I mean, we're getting expelled tomorrow!

Huh?

What?

Have so many days truly already elapsed?!

What do we do?!

However you look at it, this plan needs two more days!

"What do we do?" That's what we'd like to know!

If we are to be expelled tomorrow morning,

then this plan is indeed impossible.

Suppertime is over.

There's something I want you all to fill out now.

Your withdrawal requests.

You know, once you guys are gone, this school will be quiet again.

Don't tell me... she's going to miss us?

Well, it will be a relief—

She is quivering.

Does this mean she will miss our presence?

Vice President, wipe away those tears.

We, too, will never forget the days that we spent

with you, Vice President.

Why, you...

Do not waste food!

Fill out your withdrawal requests, you scum!

I thought we were about to have a tender moment,

but I was completely wrong.

Is your head okay, Gakuto?

Of course it is not okay.

There's no time for rest.

Let's put your plan into action!

It is impossible.

Yours truly's plan requires more time.

We'll manage somehow.

Manage how?

We're all out of options.

We'll write an appeal to the chairman.

To the chairman?

Yeah.

We'll send an appeal along with our withdrawal forms.

If we plead that the Underground Student Council set this "DTO" trap for us...

Yes... it might buy us a few days while he investigates.

If we're given a reprieve...

...then we can use that time to find the DTO evidence with Gakuto-kun's plan.

But isn't this a little thin to pin our hopes on?

Remember, Shingo!

We can't afford to leave this school just yet!

At least not until summer...

and the wet T-shirt contest!

We can't give up!

Or don't you want to see nipples through wet T-shirts?!

I do.

Of course I do!

I can't hear you!

What do you want to see?!

Nipples!

Pointy nipples through wet T-shirts!

I wanna see them so bad!

Then, don't give up hope until the very end!

I feel like I've forgotten something.

In the nurse's office, that one day...

What was it?

It feels like it was something that can't be undone...

Have you finished, you scum?

Yes.

What is this?

It's an appeal.

An appeal?

We know it won't do any good,

but we want the chairman to know how sorry we are.

Please! It has our final feelings written on it!

Hmph, how pitiful, when you know it won't do any good.

Very well, I'll allow it.

Thank you very much!

It's late.

Never mind our breakfast, no one is coming.

Are we really going to be expelled today?

It depends on whether or not the chairman reads our appeal and comes down here.

Maybe it really is hopeless.

It's all right. I'm sure he read it.

Then why isn't the chairman coming down here?!

Well...

The vice president! Which means...

As scheduled, you are to be expelled today.

All of you, out of the prison.

I order you to go collect all of your belongings still in the dorms.

This is your last task.

I don't want any trace, not so much as a single hair, to remain here.

I-Is this...?

How cruel, Vice President!

How could you tear up our appeal?!

This is beyond cruel!

I thought you agreed!

No talking.

Keep quiet and walk.

Those boys are being expelled today.

I guess I won't get to pay that idiot Kiyoshi back after all.

Well, when I see him for the last time, I'll make do with punching him in the stomach—

What was that?

I came close to remembering something yesterday, too.

But why...?

Almost there...

It all ends now.

These are truly your "thirteen steps."

Do you have any last words?

Why don't you let me be the one...

to hear their last...

words?!

Chairman!

What is the chairman doing here?

I know I tore up their appeal.

What did you do?

Now, let's return to the prison.

I need to have a word with you all.

Can I get a cup of...

tea?!

Oh, yes.

Why did the chairman come down here?

I am unaware.

The vice president tore up our appeal.

Why those rotten...

Just how did they do it?

A dummy.

A dummy?

Yeah.

The appeal that we wrote was a dummy.

I put the real bait in my withdrawal request.

I figured that after the vice president threw our appeal out, she'd let her guard down,

and she wouldn't look at the withdrawal requests closely.

You are a genius!

That's just like the ploy used by the famous strategist Pang Tong at the Battle of Red Cliffs!

I'm not sure what that was, but you're probably right.

So, what did you write as bait on your withdrawal request?

Well...

I received your message.

But let me come right out and say this—

As an educator,

blackmail is something I do not give in... to!

Blackmail?!

Surely enough, it's something that the chairman wants to hide.

I had no choice but to use what I saw that day to call the chairman out.

It's my trump card to get the chairman to postpone our expulsions.

Damn it, I can't hear them from here!

Hana...?

Where is he?

That bastard, Kiyoshi!

Where is he?!

You misunderstand.

I didn't think you would hear us out unless I mentioned that.

We really were set up by the Underground Student Council.

I already heard about that.

You have no credible evidence for it...

do you?

No, not yet. But...

One more week!

No, even given three more days, we can obtain proof!

I see.

You want more time to gather your evidence.

Which is to say, you seek to have your expulsions postponed... right?

Which is to say, you seek to have your expulsions postponed... right?

All right, then...

Butts or breasts...

Which do you...

prefer?

Butts... or breasts, you ask?

Butts or breasts...

Yes!

If forced to choose, yours truly would say boob—

Gakuto, guys, would you let me field this one?

Kiyoshi-dono...

Right now, the chairman is testing us.

Remember! It has to be...

Yeah! It was...

Butts are what we like best!

Hmph, we are of the same...

mind.

Allow me to share with you one of my life's mottos.

"No ass man can be...

bad!"

I was right!

Then, you will postpone our expulsions, right?

Butts are definitely better!

Asshole!

Butts forever!

No, I cannot approve it... yet.

I do not yet know if you are true ass men... you see.

Why did you choose...

butts?

A true ass man would be able to answer.

Why would you not say breasts, but instead...

butts?

Will this one answer determine our whole lives?

This is almost like...

the riddle of the Sphinx!

What has four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening?

That one?

Yes.

And legend says that those who did not answer correctly...

were killed and eaten by the Sphinx!

Our answer will also determine...

...whether or not we're expelled!

But, on the other hand,

if we overcome this question, we get to live!

Oh...

Kiyoshi, you're exactly right!

I was just thinking the same thing.

If we all put our heads together, we might pull this off!

No, you... can't.

There will be no discussion.

When speaking of one's tastes, common-denominator answers mean nothing.

The reason why the desires within you spring forth,

that is what I wish to hear...

from you.

Kiyoshi-kun, you're the one who said you liked them.

You be the one to answer...

me!

Calm down, Hana!

Move!

That idiot Kiyoshi is in there, right?!

Hold on!

Get rid of that dangerous knife!

What on earth happened?!

What happened?!

What happened was, you see...

His... and my... you know... he...

I'll kill him!

I'll kill him, then take my own life!

This is bad!

If I leave Hana alone like this,

the Underground Student Council's position will be in jeopardy!

Forgive me, Hana.

Now then...

It's no use!

I can't think of anything!

I mean,

I actually like boobs over butts, after all!

I can say any number of good things about boobs.

They have nipples!

They make milk!

They're far softer than butts!

It's no use!

No matter how much I think, I can't find any reasons why butts are better than boobs!

The answer that the hero Oedipus gave to the Sphinx's riddle...

was "man."

Right after they are born, they are babies crawling on 4 legs,

when they grow up, they stand alone on two legs,

and when they get old, they use a cane, giving them three legs.

Kiyoshi-dono, you must become our hero, Oedipus—

Gakuto, I hate to ask, but could you keep quiet for a minute?

I can't afford to listen to your vast knowledge right now.

Ah! I'm sorry!

Hold on.

Am I wrong to be overthinking it?

Right! There's no real reason why you like something!

Just like when the mountain climber was asked why he climbed the mountain,

and he answered, "Because the mountain is there," I can just say "Because the butt is there," can't I?!

Would it be okay if I offered you a slight... hint?

I've asked this question in many places in the past,

and I have been disappointed by many people.

By the answer that "There is no basis for why someone likes...

something."

"No reason." "Mei you li you."

Not to mention the George Mallory-inspired "Because the butt is there."

But the moment you say you like butts out loud

without a reason, it is nothing more than a lie, a desperate answer.

I have given you plenty of time.

I think I should hear your answer now, don't you...

think?

It's no use...

I can't... come up with anything...

A butt...?

Why is there a butt in the window?

No, wait! I'm wrong!

Those are...

Boobs!

The vice president's ass-like boobs!

What in the world are they talking about in there?

They're so similar...

Human development, and the evolution of mankind...

They're so similar... Boobs and butts...

That's it!

Boobs...

Boobs...!

Mankind...

Back when we still walked on all fours, the thing we always had in front of us was...

butts.

Then, when mankind started walking on two legs,

we stopped having butts stuck in our faces all the time,

and in their place,

what appeared in front of our faces were...

boobs!

Women grew larger breasts, to take the place of butts.

The original source of life is butts!

Boobs are just a substitute!

Boobs are nothing more than a pale imitation of the noble buttocks!

If asked what I'd rather have, a copy or the original,

naturally, I would choose the original!

Boobs jut out forward due to the processes of evolution,

keeping butts further back and to the rear, hidden!

However, that is where the grace of the Eros of butts—

That's enough.

You have more than conveyed to me that you are a true ass man.

That was a great answer, kindred spirit of...

mine.

Then, does that mean...

Like I said, no ass man can be bad.

Your expulsion will be... postponed.

What was that?

However, the maximum reprieve that I can give you is one... day.

However, the maximum reprieve that I can give you is one... day.

That is much too short a time! If we could at least have three days!

If a man is earnest, it is possible for him to accomplish such a thing in one...

day.

What is the meaning of postponing their expulsion, Chairman?

I have decided that there is room to question whether their expulsion is justified... or not.

I have decided that there is room to question whether their expulsion is justified... or not.

Their expulsion is a matter of course! What are you trying to do?!

President, that is not for you, a student, to determine, but for me.

Unless a one-day extension somehow creates a problem... for you?

Unless a one-day extension somehow creates a problem... for you?

Now, if you'll excuse...

me.

Um, thank you very much.

You were a tremendous help to us, Vice President.

Wha—?

We managed to make it through that, but only a single day?

This is no time to get depressed.

Up until now, we were moments away from execution.

But from out of the darkness, small though it may be, there is a light shining forth.

It may be tiny like an incredibly fine spider's thread,

but we now have our foot in the door of a way out of this.

Kiyoshi-dono...

You're absolutely right.

All right.

What lies beyond that light...

is our future.

As well as...

...the wet T-shirt contest!

This is no time to get depressed!

Mm-hmm!

Now, gentlemen, let us put the plan that yours truly thought up into effect tonight,

and see to its success!

Yeah!

How did they get a reprieve?!

Why did the prisoners offer you their thanks?!

I do not know.

You don't know?

You overheard their conversation in the prison, didn't you?

Well...

The chairman and the boys' conversation was mostly... that is...

mostly about posteriors.

In any case, it is just one day.

We will not let them do anything.

Would you please allow me to handle their final day?

I won't let that scum pull anything.

Next time on Prison School:

"Eryngii Brockovich."
