NO Brains Championships

Its standard middle school level school subjects

plus show business common knowledge which makes 6 subjects

The academic skills of the members are being checked

The member with the lowest overall test score

will be named the 4th ever NO Brains Queen

Tonight we'll start with wrong answers from the science category

[ Connect the batteries below to create the max electric shock ]

This question asks them to connect the batteries which is the same as last time

The girl in the electric chair

connect the batteries in a way that will produce the max current

Let's see Ikeda's answer for the correct answer

Ikeda-san...that's how its done

Connected in series

Isn't that right Ikeda?

Connecting the batteries in series creates the largest current

That's right

That's the correct answer

So Yumiki-sensei

There she is

Let's go to Yumiki-sensei's answer

They're all standing

[ witchcraft? ]

They look like candles

She arranged the batteries in a happy heart shape formation

She made them into candles

Is it this girl's birthday or something?

[ Plus she drew 1 too many batteries ]

How does a standing battery work?

I only know how to replace batteries

Everybody mainly just replaces batteries

And lots of times the batteries stand up

No they do not

[ How does this work? ]

She's done it again

You thought current would flow with this

Standing batteries are funny

Its pretty funny

They look like candles

The next question is social studies

You had to write the full name of the Prime Minister which makes it hard

The answer is right here

Kishida Fumio

Its Kishida Fumio-san

Ioki

Let's see Ioki's answer

hai

She wrote "I know the face"

Its Kishida-san

Kishida Norio?

[ Wrote out her entire thought process ]

She only knew his last name

There's a reason

At first I could only think of Kishida-san

I wanted people to know that I did know who he was

1 minute before the test ended

the answer came to me

[ Came up with Norio ]

Its hard...that question was hard

Endo...let's go to Endo

ah that's so close! What is this?

At a glance this looks correct

[ Looks like the right answer ]

That makes his name Daiyu

Its not Fumio

I did think of it though

You thought of the correct kanji at one point

Now Inoue

Kishi Daisuke

Kishi Daisuke

Could we show this picture real quick?

This is a character that Daian's Yusuke does

eh is that so

His backstory is that he's a big celebrity actor from Uzumasa and that's his name

I've seen that name before!

Inoue is that why you wrote this?

No its not

But I have seen him before

This is Japan's Prime Minister

[ sugoi Prime Minister ]

How did this happen?

Japan's Prime Minister wears a samurai topknot hairstyle

That's really funny though

Let's see the next question....here it is

[ Write the name and the corresponding paper money amount below ]

This year new paper money will be put in circulation

eh?!

Its true

You didn't know that either?

They're changing our money!?

[ Did you not read the question? ]

Your paper money is changing this year

I thought those were historical people

yes those people are historical people

[ What are you saying? ]

The question even says our paper bills are changing this year

Using the kanji hints provided

should have led them to the answer however

there were several wrong answers about these people

Kubo's answer

This is gonna be bad

What did she write instead of Shibusawa Eiichi-san?

Sawamura Ikki

[ The current actor ]

Sawamura Ikki-san is not on the 10,000 yen bill

What kind of mistake is that?

It could still happen though

[ Predicting the future? ]

Let's take a look at Ogawa's answer

ahh Tsuda Umeko-san

Ume Yoshimasa

Ogawa....Ogawa

This is a woman

[ Not an ojisan ]

kawaii~

Why Yoshimasa?

I often hear the name Yoshimasa when it comes to historical figures

You thought it sounded right

Plus I like Yoshimasa

[ Ogawa's oshimen ]

You like the name

Now Mukai

Misawa Mitsuharu

Mitsuharu-san!

[ A pro wrestler appears ]

Misawa Mitsuharu is a pro wrestler

The 2nd generation Tiger Mask

Why did you write his name with the correct kanji?

I only recognized Tsuda Umeko-san

With [梅] gone all I had left was [三] and [沢]

[ Misawa born from a miracle ]

Misawa was what was left

Why did you use both on 1 name?

But you still recognized Misawa Mitsuharu

I used to like pro wrestling

This was all I could think of

I'm amazed Misawa the pro wrestler was an answer

This next one is kind of amazing

Tamura

Tamura!

hai

eh sugoi

ah! She got them all right

That's right

She wrote the full names of everyone using the correct kanji

now hold on one second

Let's look at Tamura's answer for the previous Kishida Prime Minister question

Kishida Toshimitsu

How does this same person write all 3 full names accurately...

[ Way too much genius and then stupidity ]

Tamura because of this

We wondered if you cheated

[ You did didn't you? ]

Stop right there

Please let me say one thing

There's one reason that I had no way of cheating

When I took this test

I was alone with OkaHina

[ They took the test on a separate day ]

So you couldn't peek at her answers

I could not

How do you know so much about money? You love money that much?

[ paper money expert? ]

How do you know so much about cash?

I just had a conversation with family about this

Just happened to talk about it

So I simply remembered

That's fantastic

Is that what happened

The next question is right here

We've heard the word inbound on the news a lot lately

Use the word inbound correctly in a sentence

Do you know the word Himura-san?

yes I know what it means

It basically refers to foreigners visiting Japan

Inbound

such as inbound spending

The question asked them to use the word inbound in a sentence

hai...Riria-chan's answer

Riria-chan

Its like the ball went inbounds so I guess we lost

[ sports tournament? ]

Is this a sport or something?

ah inbound

You mean an irregular bounce?

When I heard bound I thought it must be a ball

You know how there's rebounds in basketball

so kind of like that

The ball bounced to our side so we lost

inbound to your side?

That's right

Much like an own goal

Ioki's answer

hey!

I told you inbounding is illegal

[ Yet another sports connection ]

Who are you talking to?

hey

I told you inbounding is illegal

That means your team has been called for that before?

Like I can't believe you did that

Another inbounding foul

That's funny

funny

Let's see Yumiki-sensei's answer

Lots from sensei today

Who me?

Its yet another inbound....

[ lazy answer ]

Why does it sound like such a bad thing?

Why? Its yet another inbound

[ Failed to reduce tourism? ]

Here's the answer from Nakamura-sensei

Yakiniku inbounded with rice tastes twice as good

[ The bbq sauce and rice combo is complete ]

Is that called a one bounce?

I've heard of one bounce but inbound?

Doing this with your rice is an inbound

So that's an inbound

Nakamura-sensei has done it again

I wish I could give her a passing score for that

Kuromi's answer

eh what did I write?

According to the inbound system

you have to receive 2 receipts

That's not true

Actually several answers were just like this

People confused it with the word invoice

That would happen

I was mega sure I got it right

[ Pressure to file taxes correctly? ]

There were several wrong answers for this one

Next its this

Its a social studies question

Explain only the relevant words from the list below

This one has lots of dummy words included

makes sense

So only explain the words that are relevant to the Perry Expedition​

ahh that makes sense

The Going Merry that Luffy rode on is one of the dummy words

[ Only used for the Grand Line ]

eh we'll start with Kaki's answer

She answered correctly

Is that so?

Perry wanted the isolated country of Japan to globalize

so he rode a black frigate to Japan

This amount of detail is considered correct

ah thank goodness

So among all those words only the word Perry was relevant

What about the word guns?

Suddenly everybody is worried

[ The worry filled Perry Expedition ]

Let's see Tsutsui's answer

Perry got onboard the Going Merry and came to Japan

[ Invasion by a gang of pirates ]

We just explained that part Tsutsui

The Going Merry is the ship from One Piece

Perry didn't ride on that ship

What kind of reaction is this right now?

[ Tsutsui has given up ]

I've never read a manga my entire life

Is that so

I thought he rode that ship

Why would you use that word?

[ sinking ship ]

Ume's answer

MacArthur

got his guns and got onboard the Going Merry

[ Just wrong ]

Ume

Ume what is this? This is out of control

I tried to include all the important sounding parts

So you didn't know at all...it was all nonsense to you

no I've heard of the Perry Expedition

[ She is the ship captain of this group ]

Ogawa's answer

Why does everybody perk up when they get called out?

[ The group that assumes they got every question right ]

Xavier

left from Peru aboard the Perry

and using the sword hunt system

the foreigners obtained a license to use guns in Japan

[ Made sure to use every word in that sentence ]

You used a lot of those dummy words there

First of all Xavier left from Peru aboard the Perry

[ The Going Perry ]

Did you think Perry was the name of a ship?

I thought I better use most of those words

Those words were put in there to confuse you

But I did know that the Going Merry was a dummy word

[ Ogawa pride ]

That's funny

next question

[ 1st: Hokkaido 2nd: Iwate 3rd: Fukushima ]

Himura-san what do you think this ranking is of?

eh?!

prefecture size?

correct answer

Its a ranking by land size

Hokkaido being #1 is a pretty big hint

hai

Endo's answer

Rankings of delicious seafood by prefecture

[ Endo investigates ]

Indeed...that's not wrong

Hokkaido is probably #1 in seafood?

That ranking is based on personal taste

When I hear Hokkaido all I can think of is seafood

Hokkaido does have really good seafood

If that were true then Aomori should be in this list

Akita and Miyagi too

That's a funny answer

Okamoto's answer

Delicious food by prefecture rankings

Delicious fresh fish by prefecture rankings

You can get there but it'll take a long time rankings

That is a valid point

Where are you travelling from!?

[ From what starting point? ]

Maybe from Tokyo

You can get there but it will take a long time

But then Okinawa is far away and would rank in

There's no starting point

Shall we look at Iwamoto's answer?

tons of snow

[ Has her own unique way of reading it ]

She wrote the kanji backwards

She wanted to write snowfall but it came out as tons of snow

She translated it to gyaru speak

tons of snow

The moment she arrives in Hokkaido or Iwate or Fukushima

tons of snow

no that's fine

Coming up its english

Look at the picture and write a fitting english sentence

Acceptable answers..."The phone is ringing"

or "Whose phone is this?"

Basically fill in the conversation the 2 people are having

Seimiya

Of course since Seimiya speaks english

let's look at her answer first

Would you read this for us Seimiya?

But Seimiya...this sentence

Please translate that for us

Can I see your phone to check if you're having an affair with another woman?

[ Smiling through a bad breakup ]

Why did you look at this picture and take it to that dark place?

Don't go there

Its just to be sure

[ Only checking because she trusts him ]

Can I check to see if you're having an affair with another woman?

Obviously that counts as correct but

its so scary

To think of that when you see this picture is scary

There were more picture questions

As long as its something a store staff member would say

it'll count as correct however

Tamura's answer

[ Suddenly says bay ]

goodbye would have been right

B-Y-E

bay is a water inlet or cove

What a nice bay!

[ The store clerk is mental ]

How do you say "to buy"

buy

buy would be wrong too

That's b-u-y

She's struggling

You're still wrong

[ This baka never gives up ]

Sakaguchi's answer

[ Suddenly she's a tomato ]

tomato? Did she write I'm a tomato

She thought the speech bubble was pointed at the box of tomatoes

[ The tomato introduces itself ]

Isn't that a correct answer?

Its incorrect

Its incorrect because tomatoes don't talk

[ What kind of question is this? ]

Its not that kind of fantasy world

I'm a tomato is no good

I was wondering why the speech bubble was pointing there

It does make it look like the tomatoes are talking

That is incredible

Next its translating english to japanese

The question involves Himura and Sato Kaede and the answer is...

Himura is angry and that's because Kaede

dropped scissors at his feet

scissors translates to hasami in japanese

because she dropped scissors near his feet

That's dangerous

It is dangerous...you'd be angry

That indeed would make me angry

I would never do that

no that's what you do

If you're not careful you're gonna kill somebody one day

[ uncoordinated person ]

She'll drop something on somebody

Now Iwamoto's answer

Himura-san has an empty stomach

And because of that....he eats candy

[ dropped does not equal candy ]

She translated dropped to candy

For some reason I thought angry was hungry

That's because its Himura

[ Himura equals empty stomach ]

I thought it meant maple flavored candy

Kaede does mean maple

[ Kaede got translated to maple flavored ]

So I thought he wanted maple candy

ehhh Riria-chan

Himura is angry

And that's because Kaede spilled sushi on his lap

[ Now she's spilling food at a sushi restaurant ]

Why sushi?

Where did sushi come from?

I saw a word that starts with [s]

scissors

You thought that said sushi?

Den is known for spilling so I thought she must have spilled food

When I looked for food...

ah the word sushi is right there

[ pair translated to 2 sushi? ]

And now for Sato Kaede herself

Himura-san was angry

And that's because Kaede dropped a Shisa lion dog statue on his lap

[ Was this a souvenir from Riria? ]

A Shisa would really hurt

One of those huge Shisa

Drop one of those on your lap

That would hurt

Don't drop that on me Kaede

Huge Shisa

How about Yoda's answer?

Himura is angry

And that's because Kaede can't do anything right

[ plot summary ]

well that's kind of cheating

We can't call that a correct answer

That can't count

That's cheating

But I'm not wrong

Kaede can't do anything right however...

That answer is cheating

It means the same thing

no good

Tomisato's answer

Himura's stomach is empty

He got mad at Kaede who was leaving for vacation

the fight got heated

[ Himura versus Kaede ]

What kind of perspective is this?

Are they dating?

[ In the middle of a lovers quarrel ]

I'm hungry and yelling "Why is Kaede taking a vacation?"

Coming up is common knowledge show business questions

[ What is MC short for? ]

As tv personalities we'd hope they answer this question correctly

Kubo...well Kubo has her radio show

hai...I'm the MC

You do a lot of MC work

hai...I do

Kubo's answer is right here

Main Character

[ That is true in a way ]

That is MC

Isn't that an MC?

Ikeda's answer

Main Commentator

ahh she thought it was commentator

It kind of fits but once I looked up the answer it was totally wrong

She looked it up

She checks the answers

[ That's why she's the Intellect Queen ]

That is incorrect

Yoda's answer

Michael Jackson

[ MC is no longer with us ]

How did you get Jackson from that?

Michael's nickname is MJ

He's MJ

I thought really hard about it though

Michael jaCkson

[ MichaelJa equals ckson? ]

You took the C out of Jackson?

That's a strange place to pull a letter from

You know how famous people become part of the language

They wouldn't steal the C from Jackson

It wouldn't be Jackson

Next we have this question

[ What is CD short for? ]

I feel like everybody would get this right

compact disc

compact?

compact

CD is an acronym for compact disc

compact

Ume

hai

You're the captain of a group that sells tons of CDs

What do you think CD means? Here it is

carnival disk

[ Festival songs? ]

nice one...she says carnival disc

That's right...you sell a bunch of carnival discs

hai

We bring carnivals to the people

[ A samba group? ]

That's incorrect

Okuda has the worst answer ever

There's a worst answer ever?

Let's see Okuda's answer

copy~

disc

It cannot be copy disc

If you sold those...it would be illegal

[ That's against the law ]

You can't do that!

Are these pirated discs?

Are you selling pirated copies?

You don't sell any copied discs

copy~

[ Using copy~ to hide the crime ]

next its Tsutsui's answer

cassette DVD

DVD was her actual answer

Why did you mix new and old media formats?

[ Cassette to CD to DVD ]

But you can listen to music on cassette

This is totally wrong yet you never act like anything's wrong

[ Way too mellow ]

Why are you like "In my mind this is the right answer"

Last one

ah its the last one?

hai

[ Draw in a picture to make this a standard cactus group gymnastics pose ]

Fill in the picture to show a cactus group pose

For an example let's see Kaki and Ikeda's drawings

ah hai hai...that's what it looks like

You have to draw her holding on to the knees to be right

Let's take a look at Inoue's answer

oh!

How is she standing there!?

This is amazing

She's holding her by the ankles

So about this.....Inoue

Its a fine drawing but...

its physically impossible

[ superhero athletics festival ]

Inoue-san this is physically impossible

She's holding her by the ankles

Only people that can do this are capable

[ Limited to giants ]

Its impossible to support a human just by their ankles

That girl looks so comfortable though

[ Go to heaven? ]

That girl's soul is leaving her body

Finally let's see Sakaguchi's cactus pose

uwah!

That is frightening

stop right there

It didn't say to draw cactus man

[ Draw a group gymnastics pose ]

She drew cactus man

Whatever cactus man does can be called a cactus pose though

kowai

If you saw this guy at an athletics festival it would be on the news

[ Close Encounters of the Third Kind ]

She drew cactus man

Now its finally time to announce the worst rankings

Who will become the 4th ever NO Brains Queen?

I'll announce the worst 5

Total score of 21 points

worst 5 is...

Okamoto

eh?!

I thought you'd be the winner!

I was sure you'd win

Good for you

I heard a lot of 5th members going "eh?!"

You got 6 points in english and math

You can do this!

I can totally do this!

You've done nothing

You got 4 points in common knowledge

hai

This was great

Well she's 5th worst

Worst 4 was Tomisato

That was when Sugawara who scored 1 point less ranked in

These 5th members

there's smart girls and dumb girls

But overall its a good balance

I think we maintain a nice balance

[ Shokichi remains positive ]

Shall I announce 1st? I'll announce 1st place first

Its finally that time

So who will the NO Brains Queen be?

1st place worst

total score....eh

6 points

yabai

6 points?

She scored 0 points in common knowledge and language

common knowledge and language....zero

I will now announce 1st worst

the NO Brains Queen is...

Yumiki!

omedetou!

Back to back champ!

That makes 2 in a row

sugoi

2nd place was Nakamura

Nakamura was a past champion

Got it

The point differential between Ikeda and Yumiki is crazy

77 point differential

Its nice to have a group with this much range

My grandma watched the episode the last time we did this and told me

Nao-chan...a lot of things happened to you when you were little

I guess you forgot everything you learned around that time

[ Bizarre way of making her feel better ]

What do you mean things happened to you?

I won't be able to look her in the face

But still...1st place in anything is something

You think so?

[ Already over it ]

You got over it way too fast

The jacket art for [Chance wa Byoudou] is complete

Priority ticketing for mobile club members for Yamashita's graduation concert has started
