Bonobono

How fun!

Chipmunk

Raccoon

Bonobono's Dad

Fishing Cat

I wonder if Chipmunk's home.

We promised each other that we're going to play.

So he's gotta be home.

That's right. Today is Going-over-to-play-with-Chipmunk-day.

Day for going over to play with a friend.

That's right! It's Going-over-to-play-with-a-friend day!

Right! And I even came up with a new game today!

I wonder what Chipmunk will say! What will he say about my new game?

Right. I have to think what Chipmunk will say.

Am I not having fun anymore?

Why does fun end?

Wolverine

So, you're pooping here again.

Mr. Fishing Cat, stop it!

I want you to stop.

Alright. I'll stop so you stop!

And yet, you're still doing it!

Stop it, Mr. Fishing Cat! I have news!

Something trivial again, I bet. I'm not that interested anyway.

It's not like that! Stop it!

So fun always ends.

Why does fun end?

Normally, I'm normal. I'm walking normally.

When I'm having fun, I run.

It's fun while I run.

But then I always tire out.

And so I guess fun must also end.

And then there's Mr. Fishing Cat.

I guess Mr. Fishing Cat is able to run really fast, really far.

Even Raccoon can probably run faster and further than me.

Lucky him.

I bet even Chipmunk's faster than me.

You gonna bully me? I bet even Chipmunk's faster than me.

I bet even Chipmunk's faster than me.

Lucky him.

You gonna bully me?

I guess fun ends for me quicker than for everybody else. You gonna bully me?

I guess fun ends for me quicker than for everybody else.

It does. It must be so.

I'm so pathetic!

Man, I'm bored.

I'm gonna bully the first thing I meet on this path.

Oh, yeah! Perfect!

Yo, Wolverine!

Let me go, Raccoon!

Wolverine, don't say such things.

Raccoon, you've got a booger on your face.

Wolverine, I'm not falling for that.

That hurts, Raccoon!

Hurts, huh? How much?

A lot!

Oh yeah? A lot, you say?

Wolverine, you're the best bullying victim ever.

You're making me very happy, Wolverine!

Raccoon, I'll tell you some news if you let me go!

News? What kind of news? I don't want you to spoil my fun.

It's something super shocking!

Really? Then hurry up and tell me!

Chipmunk! It's me, Bonobono!

I came to play!

Bonobono, sorry. I couldn't help myself.

You gonna bully me?

I'm not gonna bully you.

You gonna bully me?

I'm not gonna bully you.

Mister, do you like fish?

Wasn't that fun, Chipmunk?

Really?

It's really fun, Bonobono! Now you blink while Chipmunk's walking by.

Chipmunk! My eyes are tired.

Are you okay, Bonobono?

If Bonobono's eyes hurt, then let's not play the new game anymore.

So, Chipmunk, fun has to end, doesn't it?

Chipmunk, why does fun end?

Raccoon's Dad

So what?

Well... something huge is coming! Wolverine told me!

Didn't you hear me, so what?

Do you like big animals?

No...

If I hate big animals then I also hate small animals.

And not only do I hate medium sized animals even more, but I can't stand animals of all sizes.

But what I hate most of all...

is being told stuff I don't give a darn about!

That jerk! That didn't hurt. Why are you getting upset over stuff you don't give a darn about?

Oh, if it isn't Chinchilla!

Chinchilla! Beware! Something big is coming! Get outta here before it eats you!

Look at him just running in circles.

Not that that dummy would do otherwise if I said anything different.

This is kinda fun.

Oh, Dormouse!

Listen! Something big is coming to eat everybody in the forest!

Ran away before I even finished.

Well, that guy does run away from anything.

But that's okay. Maybe this is what I was looking for all morning.

All right...

Just a little more, Dad!

Over here, Dad!

You can easily catch fish here, Mister.

It's better than the sea.

Where are you from?

Have you been here for long?

That is a secret.

Mister, can I come visit you?

Why don't we ask Mr. Fishing Cat why fun ends?

Mr. Fishing Cat is sure to know. Let's go!

Yo! So the gang's all here.

Raccoon fell down!

That wasn't funny, you little...

Raccoon, you've got something here.

Yes! It's a booger! You've got a booger!

You're still not funny!

Where were you guys going? Looking for me? Say, did you hear?

There's a giant creature that no one has seen before coming toward this forest as we speak.

Be scared at least a little, you knucklehead!

You too, you little...

Wait, I'm not strangling you, you little...

Why are you not scared?

Is it gonna eat us?

Yes, I think it's gonna eat everyone. I'm sorry to say, but the whole forest might be destroyed.

And you two knuckleheads would like to play?

Raccoon, is anyone eaten yet?

Who knows? But it's only a matter of time.

It could eat somebody if it gets hungry. Including myself, of course.

And since that thing is so big, we can only wonder who would it eat.

The trouble is that since that thing is so huge, it must mean that it eats a lot.

Therefore, there is going to be a lot of those who're gonna get eaten...

Do something if you see me coming...

Raccoon, how big is that thing?

It's super big!

Big like Mr. Brown Bear?

You knucklehead, it's way bigger than Brown Bear!

How bigger?!

There. That's how big it is.

Say something already you little...

But Raccoon, I have never seen something that big.

You haven't? So what if you haven't?

Is there really anything that big?

Just because you haven't seen it it doesn't mean it doesn't exist!

I guess you're right. It could exist even if I haven't seen it.

Exactly!

What? You've got something to say?

So how about if...

Could we...?

To show you I'm not lying...

...here's what we'll do.

Let's go see that giant thing!

Boy, how did Fishing Cat react?

He said he wasn't interested.

Is that so?

Boy, you didn't tell anybody else, did you?

I won't tell!

Good.

Wolverine's Dad

You especially won't tell the Raccoons, right?

I won't tell!

Good.

Baby Brown Bear Mrs.Brown Bear

Oh! Welcome!

Mi'ter!

Hey, kid!

Wolverine, honey, come here!

You sure grew big, kid.

Are you all right?

We told Fishing Cat.

We don't have to tell everybody, do we?

So we don't cause panic.

My boy's already been talking around.

So there will be panic?!

Well, animals are bound to panic so we can't help it.

No. It would be better without panic.

Yes, but there's bound to be panic no matter how much we keep it secret.

Baby, come here!

Does my husband know?

Of course he does.

The Boss was the one who told me.

It figures.

Will it be alright?

Don't you worry. The Boss would never get near that thing.

I was referring to everybody.

The animals will only panic. They won't do anything.

Yes, that's good, but...

Yes, he was born the last time it passed through the forest.

In the cave that Fishing Cat lives in now.

Well? Will it be soon?

Soon. Don't worry.

Your work here is done. You can go if you want to.

Is that so?

Excuse me.

My, my. How have we lived this long under this low ceiling?

I'm going out.

Yes, the kid was born on that day.

Boss, that thing doesn't seem like it can be stopped.

I know.

I've also heard about it from my father.

When that thing passes by, something changes.

Listen, Pops. That thing is passing by. But act in front of forest folks like nothing's happening.

I'll make sure no one gets near that thing.

You do that. I have some other business to attend to.

You mean, attend to your missus?

Looks like that thing is not the only one who came to the forest today.

Who do you mean?

They're being quite busy, coming from both the mountain and the river.

If there's any trouble, call me. I'll be by the river.

But Boss, what are you going to do if there is trouble?

Wouldn't you be putting your life at risk if you go there?

And isn't your missus giving birth to a baby today?

Boss, even if something's going on, it's crazy to...

Pops! Do I look to you like someone who would do something life-risking?

That's the last thing I would do.

Don't worry.

Say...

Was everyone in the forest told not to go there?

Not this time.

The Boss seems to have done his work. Maybe he is certain that there won't be any trouble.

He knows that it's unlikely that that thing will do anything to forest folks.

The Boss is probably planning to say something when we gather to see it.

Since it is passing by, it seems like something's going to change.

Something will change? What is he planning to change?

That's just my guess.

In any case, we should go see it as well, shouldn't we?

Well, let's go.

Something's bothering me.

Something's bothering you?

No, it's not bothering me, but...

If nothing's bothering you, why did you come here?

I just hate when a kid knows something his father doesn't.

So what you want to say is...

"Why didn't I tell him?"

And the answer to that is...

"He would only cause panic."

Boss Brown Bear "He would only cause panic."

Boss Brown Bear

Then let me ask you - when he told you, what did you do?

Well? What did you do?

I couldn't help it so I hit him.

And what would you have done if he didn't tell you?

I'd hit him.

So you would have hit your son whether he told you or not.

So what do you do when you catch a cold?

I hit my son.

And what do you do if it rains?

I hit everyone.

So there are still those who can live like that.

I envy you.

If you envy me, why do you still live like this?

Why do I...?

I'll never get used to low ceilings.

Oh.

Get up!

You're not from around these parts.

Why are you lying there all bruised up?

Where did you come from?

Who are you?

Why have you come to this forest?

If you wanna live here, you better answer my questions.

I've never seen anyone with such eyes.

You can talk, can't you?

Or you just don't like me?

And you? Do you like me?

Unfortunately, no.

You failed to make a good first impression on me.

Pops! Remember the day when Fishing Cat first came to this forest?

Yeah. I was the one who told you about him when I discovered him.

That's right.

What else happened that day?

Oh, right! It passed by that day too!

That's right.

That ox passed by on the same day Fishing Cat arrived.

And since that day, neither me or my family or this whole forest were ever the same.

It had to happen sooner or later, but it appeared again.

Do you get it now? So what do you think I should do now?

Today you're coming with me!

To bear witness to what I'm about to do.

If it goes well, I too will give a lot of thought about your way of life.

Fennec Fox

What is this feeling?

I'm happy, but it's not happiness.

What is this feeling?

I'm sad but...

This dance is not good enough.

What is this feeling?

I'm happy, but it's not happiness.

What is this feeling?

I'm sad but...

Still needs a little more oomph.

Wrong side!

There's another walnut, Sis!

Indeed. That's fortunate.

Over there, Sis!

Is it falling? Dropping?

Sis!

Then feel free to pick it.

Why are you neglecting your work like that? Are you lazy?

Chipmunk's Dad

Observe, Sho! We are making Father pick them up again.

Big Sister Sho Big Sister Dai

How about if you carry another one? If you were more diligent?

It's okay. Dad can carry them.

'Gonna fall.

Go ahead, Sho, pick it up!

'Gonna fall.

Sho, take diligence in handling the fallen one.

Alright!

What is the meaning of that cry? It's what's expected.

Dad, we got enough, so let's go home.

How many have we gathered?

We've already got 8, Dad!

Four more...

You want more?!

Sho, stop complaining and come along!

'Gonna fall.

Are you sure about this, Raccoon?

It's not like we're gonna fight that giant thing or something.

We're just gonna go see it.

But, what if it comes after us?

We'll run.

But what if it still keeps chasing us?

We'll run more.

But, if it still keeps chasing us?

We'll still keep running.

But I don't know if I can keep running so much.

So stop running then.

But then it will get me!

Then run if you don't wanna be caught!

But what if it gets me if I'm too tired to run?

Then get caught, you dummy...

It's because you kept babbling, that I got the path wrong, you knucklehead!

I'm sorry, Raccoon.

Where's Chipmunk?

Oh, no! Chipmunk is drowning!

Nah, look! He's totally swimming!

But he's floating away!

I said he's not! Hey, Chipmunk! Come on, get over here!

Jeez, the things you two knuckleheads make me suffer through...

If it chases us, we run, okay? That's the only option. So shut up about it! Got it?

Stop bothering me with stuff like that. Don't you have anything else to talk about?

I lost my shell.

And Chipmunk lost his walnut.

Boo-hoo! "I lost my shell!"

"And I lost my walnut!"

So what, you...

Don't you have anything better to talk about, you knuckleheads?

Raccoon...

Why does fun end?

You're still thinking about those stupid things?

Time makes it end. Isn't it obvious?

But why is it ended by time?

What does time have to do with fun?

Why can't fun and time get along?

Can you bend over?

Like this?

ENOUGH WITH THE STUPID QUESTIONS!

Stop that! Cease that, Sho!

You should not treat your food in such a manner!

Just carry it! Carry it in your hands!

What's the problem?

Are you all right, Father? Do you need assistance?

'Gonna fall.

Father!

What is this feeling?

I'm happy, but it's not happiness.

What is this feeling?

I'm sad, but...

I'm sad, b...

You and your "Why does fun end!"

Why do you always have to ponder such useless stuff?

The forest is facing a disaster, and you're like...

"why does fun end?"

You dummy!

Don't you still get how dangerous this huge thing is?

It's no big deal for the big things, but so many small things are gonna die.

For instance, see these ants?

If I wanted to step on them, I could do so very easily.

If I raise my leg like this, and I put it down, how many of them would I kill?

You get it now? I only have to put it down.

Raccoon... you wouldn't really step on ants, would you?

You want me to? Here! I can do it whenever I want.

Wanna try?

Why did you run away before us?

Raccoon...

Small things can be scary too.

You idiot!

When small things get together, they become big.

So they then become scary.

Right.

You get it now?

What?

That huge thing is coming from there.

How do you know that?

Look at those ants running.

They're running from over there.

Raccoon... what do we do now?

It's obvious. We're going that way.

Mom! Come quickly! Dad collapsed!

Chipmunk's Mom

Sho, can you go find Chipmunk?

Raccoon, why are there big things and small things?

I keep telling you. It would be boring if we're all the same size.

I think it's because small things are eaten by big things.

Chipmunk, then small things must have it pretty hard.

But, small things eat smaller things.

Right. Then those smaller things really have it hard.

Then let me ask you something...

What about big things? What eats big things?

Bigger things.

And what eats those bigger things?

Even bigger things!

And what eats those even bigger things?

Even bigger bigger things!

Stupid!

Chipmunk!

Darn it... where could he be?

What's going on?

Could there be some fire going off somewhere?

This can't be good. I gotta find Chipmunk fast!

Jeez, where is he?

ANTS!

You're still willing to go at it?

If it comes to risking my life, I yield.

I can do with just one eye. And you'll die if you keep getting wounds.

I know. You must have pulled back punches on purpose.

Then why don't you yield? You wanna die?

As long as I endure, I'll live.

I get to deal with problems with endurance.

No, it's not endurance.

You're one of those who think you can deal with problems by staking your life in something.

I won't stand for such people.

Why do you refuse to risk your life?

To living beings, living is everything.

It's because they live that it doesn't matter if they're big or small.

So then what if someone starts risking their own life for some goal?

We would then turn into foolish creatures unable to live without a goal.

Yes. You are right.

Then why are you risking your life?

I'm not risking my life.

I'm just taking more pride in enduring than you.

You lie! If you didn't have some goal, you'd be dead by now!

Those who live for the sake of goals, become very strong, whether they want to or not.

If any one of those appear in this forest,

others will become subjected to them no matter how much they try to resist.

Because they don't admit defeat until they die.

But what before that?

Everybody in this forest, to protect themselves and their families, will start risking their lives like you.

Then what will become of this world? Do you have any idea?

Do you...

come from such a world?

All the more reason for me not to be anything like you.

What would you do if you ever had to risk your life?

What?

I would never do such a thing!

So you wouldn't. But what if you ever have to?

Nothing is worth risking your life! I'll prove it to you!

If you need a place to live, there's a cave uphill. I live there now, but I don't need it anymore.

That place was meant for the strongest in the forest since long time ago.

I am letting you have it until we meet again.

Well, well, Cat...

Are you going to patrol the woods in my place?

Raccoon... where could that huge thing be?

I dunno.

Raccoon... how about if we go ask Mr. Fishing Cat about it?

You dummy, you always run to him for everything.

We've got something a lot more useful than Fishing Cat.

What's that?

This.

My nose. With my nose alone, I'll know as soon as that big thing gets close.

You can recognize its smell?

No.

Then how are you going to recognize its smell?

If it's a smell I've never smelled before, then it's gotta be that big thing, right?

Right.

You sure are clever, Raccoon.

Say something, you little...

Raccoon... so you still don't smell it?

Not yet.

Looks like the panic has begun.

Cat, only the strongest in the forest can climb to this place.

Now it's a place for children to play.

Is that so?

So you don't care about guarding the forest?

Instead you've settled down in the place intended for me, ignoring your duties as the winner.

We never agreed that I won. Only that you lost.

You speak about the past.

But I care about the consequences of it.

I do remember that I lost. And if there was a loser, there was a winner as well.

That's how duels go.

But that's not what I care about. It's where you and I ended up afterward.

Where we are now.

Neither of us do what we should be doing.

What the winner should be doing, as well as what the loser should be doing.

What's this feeling...

Why can't I come up with a dance?

Raccoon, are you still not smelling anything you haven't smelled before?

Nah.

Hold it!

Nothing to worry about.

Really?

It's nothing.

It's just a smell I've never smelled before.

Quiet, you knucklehead! It's coming from the bush behind that rock. Let's go.

Raccoon, you're hurting me!

Shut up, you...

Why, those are mushrooms!

I've never seen such mushrooms.

I've never smelled them before.

What, you've got something to say?

This is bad. The wind's started blowing in the opposite way.

So if that thing comes close, I won't be able to smell it.

What to do?

You're not fulfilling your duties as the winner because you're lazy.

But no matter how lazy you are, I suppose you've still heard about the great ox.

Yes, and if something happens somebody will be nice enough to let me know through someone else.

Cat, do you know why that ox came to this forest?

No, I don't.

I don't know either.

No one does.

What we do know is that the ox passes through this forest once every several years.

No one can stand in its way. It just walks through. And so, Cat...

whenever that ox passes by, as if by some miracle, something changes.

And the day you, Cat, came here was the same one that ox passed through, wasn't it?

Right.

And that's when we had our first fight. And on that day, your life and mine changed.

That ox has come again. Do you get it now?

That is why I climbed on this mountain searching for you.

Shall we change the way things are once again?

Now... COME AT ME!

Raccoon... how long do we have to stay hidden here?

Until the wind changes.

If that thing comes by now, I'll only be able to smell it if it comes so close that we can't run away.

We'll stay here until the wind changes direction again.

Stay inside!

Can't you sit still for five seconds you little...

But then the problem is... if that big thing...

I said stay in! Are you listening to me, you little...

Can't you stay still, you idiot? Sit down! Stop running around!

Raccoon... what was that problem you were talking about?

It's this - what if that big thing happens to come closer than I expected?

That's a problem. Since I don't have any ideas yet.

What? You've got something to say?

But if we see it, can't we run?

Even if we run, it can still catch us.

What if you run into a dead end? Besides, we don't know how fast it can run.

If we run into the valley, it should be easy for it.

Raccoon, Raccoon!

What is it?

Something's coming!

It's close.

Behind us!

Chipmunk!

Sis!

Chipmunk, I've finally found you! You gotta come with me.

Don't scare us like that! What the heck did you come here for, anyway?

Shut up, Dungweasel!

Shut up!

Now, listen to me! Our dad collapsed!

Dad? Is that true, Sis?

No time to lose! Let's go, Chipmunk!

Just a minute, little squirrel.

What? Outta the way, Dungweasel!

Little squirrel, I'm not a weasel. I'm a raccoon.

Fine, just get outta the way, Dungrack!

D-Dungrack?

That's right. Now you can rack up dung!

Who're ya callin' a dungrack, li'll squirrel?

Gotcha.

Sis, it hurts!

Keep pulling like that, little squirrel, and Chipmunk's gonna lose his tail.

What's the matter, little squirrel, you're giving up?

I'm not letting go.

Darn it...

What's wrong, little squirrel?

Ran out of rocks?

Hey you, Bonobono! You're Chipmunk's friend, right? Get me some more rocks! Big ones!

Stay out of this, Bonobono!

You understand, Bonobono, don't you? His father is ill!

Bonobono, stay right where you are!

Chipmunk must go to his dad!

Bonobono, you're aware that she's going to use those rocks you bring her to throw at me!

So what? That's the only thing a punk like you is good for.

It's gotta be it this time.

Son of a...

Bonobono! It's coming!

Hey, Fenny!

What's the matter?

Dad, I've lost my confidence in dancing.

I had the same problem.

So what did you do then?

Fennec Fox's Dad

I did nothing.

Nothing?

But if you feel like doing something or going anywhere fun, go ahead!

But I don't really think I would have fun going anywhere right now.

Maybe you wouldn't but...

But even if you don't feel like having fun, never mind that and let's just go somewhere.

But I don't know where we could go.

Fenny, you seem quite blue today.

Actually Fenny, there's a thing bigger than anything you've ever seen coming here. Let's go see it!

A thing bigger than anything I've ever seen?

That's right, Fenny. Can you hear it?

Dad, what is that sound?

It's the steps of that big thing.

Then that must be something really big, Dad!

What kind of a thing is that?

An ox.

Ox?

Right, an ox.

Why are you blue again, Fenny?

I don't think seeing an ox would be fun no matter how big it is.

This is no ordinary ox, Fenny.

There are no such oxen around here. It passed by here once, some years ago.

So what is it doing here?

Maybe nothing.

Nothing?

That's right. Nothing.

So let's go see it. Maybe something will happen.

No one will know.

What could happen?

What indeed?

What if something really bad happens?

It will be really bad, won't it?

What if something really sad happens?

We'll probably be really sad.

What if something really painful happens?

We'll probably be in pain.

You're weird, Dad, you know that?

So I am.

Even if something bad happens, you act like it won't.

If it's bad, it's bad.

So why do you act like nothing bad will happen?

Because I know how bad it could be.

But maybe there will be something so bad that we don't know how bad it could be!

Fenny...

That won't happen.

Really?

Really.

Is that so?

It's so.

So, shall we go see the ox?

Shall we go?

Let's go!

Wait up, Raccoon...

Hurry!

My, my, children are always in such a hurry.

Are you alright?

Mrs. Brown Bear?

Mrs. Bear! We're in danger!

There's a huge thing coming from there!

You must all run!

It's all right.

Bonobono, honey, we all came here to see it.

Everything will be all right, so you children can come see it with us.

To see it?

It's alright. Let us all go together!

I remember, Bonobono, that you like touching paw soles. Here, touch my paw.

So we can all go together.

Paw!

Go ahead, Bonobono. Touch my paw. It will calm you down.

Have you calmed down, Bonobono?

Stop that, you stupid!

Look here, hag!

Huh? Hag?

Why they heck have you brought him here?

Please forgive him. He's in a mimicking phase.

I have three reasons why I want you to come along.

First, it's safer if you go with us.

Second, I think you are big enough that you should see it.

And third,

there comes a time when you have to encounter living beings you may not like or they frighten you.

So it's born.

Are you all right?

Is it a boy or a girl?

It's a boy.

Yes...

The things that he's going to see...

And it had to be today. You must leave this cave.

Also, I will have to leave you for some time.

Alright?

Why?

Because my work here is done.

Watch carefully, whenever that time comes.

Alright? Now shall we go?

No it's not alright!

Come on, Raccoon, let's go see it!

We were going to see the big thing anyway, so let's go!

What are you talkin' about? Who was the one against it this whole time?

You're only like that cuz you got to touch paws and stuff.

You're right. I guess I should apologize.

I'm sorry, Raccoon. You can hit me.

So let's all go together!

All right then! Let's get goin' already!

Come along, Bonobono!

Don't chicken out now!

That big thing will pass along this path any time now.

Let's all sit down and look at it.

Jeez, how can I look at anything like this?

Come on, get on with it!

Is it coming, Bonobono?

Come on! See anything?

Fennec Fox's here too.

I wish it would come already!

You didn't see anything?

Looks like it's coming!

Darn it, I can't see a thing!

I see it!

Oh, no!

Baby Bear!

Baby, NO!

You stupid lug, I can't stand your kind.

My boy...

Daddy...

Was that... my blood?

My boy...

You've got such luck.

There ain't a lot of those able to survive doing foolish things.

How your father envies you.

Daddy... that's Mommy!

That's right. That's your Mommy.

Mrs. Bear, where is that big thing going?

Even I don't know that.

That big thing is called the muskox.

It only came here a couple of times before. It might just be passing through this forest.

Just passing?

That's right. Just passing by.

No one knows where it is going.

But when the muskox passes by, something changes.

What changes?

Nothing has changed.

Bonobono! Bonobono!

Chipmunk!

Chipmunk, is your father feeling better?

Dad is getting old, so he got injured.

Chipmunk...

Did you see that big thing too?

Everybody listen to me!

Has anything changed for anyone after that ox passed by?

Is there anything different about anybody?

Fennecs, how about you?

How about it, Fenny? Has anything changed?

Until just now, I was feeling down because of my dancing.

Really down.

I'm not sure why, but now I feel my mood is back up again!

Right, now you're much better.

Right.

Bonobono, and how about you?

Has anything changed for you?

I'm not quite sure, but I don't think anything changed.

I still don't know why fun ends.

What about you, Chipmunk? Has anything changed for you?

My dad got sick, but he got better.

That's good, Chipmunk.

Boss, nothing big has changed.

Has anything changed about you?

Nothing's changed.

Everything's still as it was.

Nevertheless, you can still come back.

Your defeat has nothing to do with your family.

Why don't you come back?

Cat, if you want to preach, you're gonna listen to the loser preaching back.

You understand nothing. You say it's fine to live the way you do.

I don't do things that way.

I do what I do because it's the right thing to do.

So you do it because you're doing what's right.

But can all living beings do what's right by doing things like you?

We can all only do what we're capable of.

What?

Then who can do the right thing that way?

Perhaps no one.

No one has the right answer.

That is why living beings will keep dealing with the same problems.

So you say we'll be troubled by the same problems until we die?

I don't know that either. But there is another thing.

What?

Maybe it was the ox that changed when it passed by.

Are you all right?

No, I'm not.

Well, let's go home.

Pop? Is that you?

Did you see it? So you did come to see it with us!

Pop, wait up! Pop! Hey, Pop!

Bonobono, you wanted to ask something?

Go ahead!

Mr. Fishing Cat...

Why does fun end?

So that suffering can end as well.

You saw it, Pop, right?

So what if I did, you little pest?

Why didn't the Boss save Baby Bear back then?

You don't know?

Nuh-uh.

Then wait until you find out. It wouldn't be fun to just tell you.

And enjoy in the meantime.

So is that why you don't like people, because you know...?

That's enough.

So, Pop, when I grow up...

I said enough!

P-Pop, I..

If I hate adults I hate kids as well.

And not only do I hate old folks, but I hate young ones even more!

But do you know what I hate most of all?

Discussing life with my son!

So fun must end so suffering can end as well.

So Bonobono, is fun over?

So are you upset?

No, but I still don't like it.

I used to be upset, long time ago.

You were?

So what did you do?

Don't ask.

But I am still alive.

Bonobono, come closer!

Closer.

There. Now, take a good look at my face.

Well? Is it fun?

I have never seen your face from this close.

Really? Then look a little more.

So you've got tired of it already, Bonobono?

But it was becoming a little less fun.

Is that so? That's fine.

Bonobono, not only fun, but suffering must also end.

Everything on this world ends. Why do you think that is?

It could be a proof that living beings are not born to do anything particular.

It's not to do anything particular?

Then why are we born?

Who knows?

Maybe to watch.

To watch?

That's right. To watch.

To watch what?

You're watched, aren't you?

Just watch?

That's right. We can just watch closely.

But isn't it boring to just watch things?

Indeed, maybe it can get dull.

But that's where things ending come in.

If you get bored, you can do anything else you want.

I see.

Then... we have actually have it really simple.

That's right. Quite simple.

So it's wrong that we have don't have it simple?

Yes. It's really simple.

Is it really simple?

Quite simple.

So it's simple!

It's simple.

Bonobono...

Could it be that you were the one who was changed by the ox's passing after all?

Bonobono...

Will you come visit me tomorrow?

I can visit you?

Tomorrow...

I will greet you like this.

Kimi no hitomi akaku somete This night colored red like your eyes

Kotoba nakusu yuugure is leaving me speechless.

Koyubi dake de sasae atte As we're walking down this path

Futari aruku kono michi holding each other's pinkies.

Boku wa ima wo dakishime As long as I hold onto eternity

Kimi wo itsumo kanjiteru and I will always feel you.

Kyou mo asu mo kawaru keredo Today and tomorrow will change

Hanarenai de kokoro but our hearts will stay together.

Tegami naraba ieru koto mo Whether I'm writing letters, or talking,

Kimi no mae de tamerau I lose my nerves when facing you

Hashi no shita ni omoi ukabe I remember how under a bridge

Jitto bokura mitsumeta we stared at each other motionlessly.

Namida nante sayonara Saying goodbye to tears,

Koi wa tsuzuku doko made mo our love keeps on going.

Toki no nagare kawa no nagare Flowing through time, flowing through rivers,

Tsugi no haru e yukou let's keep it going into the next spring.

Kono mama kono mama doko e Somewhere we keep being pulled together.

Futari hikareru mama ni Somewhere we keep being pulled together.

Bokura no bokura no umi ga Could our sea be somewhere out there?

Moshimo aru no nara Could our sea be somewhere out there?

Namida nante sayonara Saying goodbye to tears,

Koi wa tsuzuku doko made mo our love keeps on going.

Toki no nagare kawa no nagare Flowing through time, flowing through rivers,

Tsugi no haru e yukou let's keep it going into the next spring.

Kyou mo asu mo kawaru keredo Today and tomorrow will change,

Wasurenaide kokoro but our hearts will stay together.
