I love them!

They're cute!

Commerson's Dolphin

They're so cool!

Southern Right Whale Dolphin

Dreamy!

No way!

Muromi-san on the Shore

Episode 3 "Muromi-san and Old Memories"

A wonderful big jump!

Thank you for coming to our dolphin show today!

Come and watch us again!

Gimme fin!

That was a pretty good jump you had there.

Nah, your jump was just plain amazing.

You jump and wave your tail around, get fish...

Pretty nice life there.

Hey, Muromi-san, did you come to watch our show?

Of course not!

Anyone can do what you're doing!

You...

You hit me?

I don't even know whether or not I'll have food tomorrow,

and you guys with those lungs

get to sit around in these nice warm vats of water!

Yeah, but we've been training here

as long as we can remember.

Don't fight with her.

Muromi-san just hates aquatic mammals like us.

Really? Why?

She doesn't like that our ancestors developed lungs

and decided to return to life in the sea.

What? That's pathetic.

You guys have always been so spiteful without realizing it!

I'm pissed now!

Hey! What are you doing?!

Don't go in there without permission!

Dolphins are very sensitive creatures!

Cosplay?

Sensitive?!

They're nothing but profit-driven mammals.

How are they sensitive?!

It pisses me off that they get their food

That's pretty mean.

What?

Food?

We're working pretty hard here, you know.

by sucking up to humans!

You've been like that since forever!

I don't understand how you guys work at all.

And that one guy wasn't any different.

Two hundred million years ago

You can do it!

Just a little further to the life on land

you've been dreaming of!

I'm tired. I can't do this anymore.

I think I'm fine in the water.

But you're able to breath air now.

Just no. I was born in the sea, raised in the sea,

and most of my friends swim.

You can't give up now.

Damn it, shut up!

Just leave me alone.

You're so annoying.

Stop being so needy.

I'm tired. Really tired.

Hey there, fly guy.

What'cha up to?

Huh? Oh, shit!

No way! You're freaking hot!

So who's that girl?

I don't know. One of my stalkers or something?

I'm disappointed that I ever fell for a guy like him,

even if it was just for a second!

And just thinking about how easy you guys, his descendants, have it,

What does that have to do with us?

Yeah...

pisses me off so much!

Calm down, please!

I'll have to call the police!

Shut up!

So her ex-boyfriend is our ancestor?

I'm not coming back here again!

She's still thinking about him after that many years?

Damn you, toothed whale!

Seriously...

She really is pathetic.

Damn toothed whales!!

Muromi-san!

All of you gather around!

I want to introduce you to someone today.

Who is it?

Who? Who?

It's Hii-chan's sister, Muromi-oneetan!

I don't remember becoming your sister at any point.

Oneetan is oneetan.

I came because you told me you had

friends to introduce me to,

and here you are with these cursed toothed whales!

Dolphins are cute!

What don't you like about them, Oneetan?

Everything!

She said everything!

Come on, how long are you going to dwell in the past?!

What's wrong? What's wrong?

Shut up!

What's up? What's up?

I guess you're just not adult enough to understand!

Muromi-san, Muromi-san!

Let's play!

Ow! Ow!

Dolphin-san!

You guys are so loud.

This is bad! All of your bones from your lumbar vertebrae

None of you should even be calling me sister.

to your tail fin have been destroyed!

Why? Why?

Did we do something to make you hate us?

Well, it's not like you guys directly did anything wrong.

I know in my head, but my heart just won't let this happen.

This is a good chance!

I want you to start liking dolphins!

And why am I so pathetic that I need some sort of rehabilitation?

Once you can handle dolphins, you can move on to whales!

See, he likes you too, Oneetan.

Hi! Hi!

I like you, Muromi-san!

Come on, come on!

Come on! Come on!

Cute, huh?

Come on! Come on!

Try petting him.

I'm going to take over the land next.

The sea's like my backyard, ya know?

I'll become a creature where having lungs won't even matter.

That sounds like fun.

This is not happening!

She slugged me...

She slugged me.

We're dolphins, not slugs, though.

The whole Delphinidae family should die out!

The whole Delphinidae family should die out!

This might be worse than I thought.

In this case...

So you see, I want you to help me cure Oneetan's hatred of dolphins.

You're the human who knows her the best, right?

What's going on here?

First of all, who are you?

Hii-chan's name is Hii-chan.

I'm Muromi-oneetan's little sister.

I didn't know Muromi-san had a sister—

Houndfish attack!

Houndfish

Yikes!

That was mean...

She's your sister, isn't she?

She's not my sister.

She just grew up in the same neighborhood as me.

Really?

Hii-chan, could you mind your own business?

Just leave me alone!

But I want you to like aquatic mammals!

It's not going to happen!

It's already become a physiological issue for me!

You're just throwing away all of your hard work!

Are you really going to keep running away like this?

What is even going on here?

Muromi-san!

Hii-chan!

Do you like swimming with the whales, Hii-chan?

Yeah, it's fun swimming with my other friends in the sea,

but swimming with whales and dolphins is the funnest!

Yeah, being with the people you like is the most fun of all.

I like Oneetan as well, so I want to swim with Oneetan too,

but she doesn't come even if I invite her.

Muromi doesn't like aquatic mammals, right?

She says that they're little devils when they speak,

and that they're cocky for having lungs.

Her broken heart from the Mesozoic period, huh?

It's almost like the salt water's gotten into her wounds and made it worse.

In that case...

I know what we're doing tonight!

We're getting Muromi to cross the line!

Yay!

What's all this noise about?

Hey, it's Sumida. We're having a mixer with some pretty cool dudes near the Caribbean. Wanna come? You'd better be there.

I'm here because Sumida-san said she wanted me

to help even out the numbers for a mixer, but...

This is a chance for you to overcome the past

and broaden your horizons.

Hey, hey!

So we have a bunch of questions for you, Muromi!

What do you think about lungfish?

Lungfish: Protopterus

It's a fish, but it breathes with lungs.

Traitors.

This might go deeper than I thought.

They're not even related to whales at all.

Anyone who gives up on evolving to live on land

and doesn't return to breathing with gills should die.

Don't say bad things about the whales!

I'm pretty sure that toothed whales

See you.

returned to the sea from being complete land mammals.

Bye bye!

Huh? No way!

It's true.

Actually, I thought they were pretty smart for so quickly

Fifty million years passed during this time.

Basilosaurus

Cetotherium Squalodon

determining that they didn't have any means of surviving on land.

Then what about the guy who stopped his evolution towards living on land?

He either evolved into something else, or died out a long time ago.

I've never heard of anything evolving from a fish into a mammal.

That's why I always tell you, if you judge a guy

on just his looks, it's not going to go well.

Anyway, your hatred of whales and dolphins is misplaced.

Yeah, Oneetan.

They're all really nice.

They wouldn't do anything to hurt you.

Oneetan!

What's wrong?!

She realized all the hate she's been carrying

all these years was just a big misunderstanding.

And her heart couldn't take it, I bet.

Maybe Oneetan won't hate aquatic mammals anymore.

We'll see.

Given her personality, I don't think she'll be able to switch right away.

Well, in any event, Muromi's still a kid.

I'm sorry...

Just let me stay like this for a while, and don't ask me anything.

After that, Muromi-san's hatred of aquatic mammals...

That hurt!

Watch where you're swimming!

You're a waste of space and eat too much!

What's with this girl?

And you, whitey over there,

She's a punk

I bet you're full of mercury!

...ended up with her just yelling at them for no reason.

It's Hii-chan.

Did you know? The difference between dolphins and whales is just their size!

Sumida here!

I know. Everyone knows that.

Then how about this?

Did you know that dolphins can communicate via telepathy?

Yeah, I knew that!

Next time: "Muromi-san and the Food Chain"

They can fly in the sky, too!

I knew that!

They can fire beams from their eyes, too!

Already knew that!
