48 Second Sentai Echiranger!
Episode Two - White Conspiracy! Capture Five Warriors!
Tokyo, Akihabara.
Just below this building where the AKB48 Theater is located, there was an Echiranger's secret base.
Huh?
You're so cute! Your red is so sexy!
Don't say it! You always say it and I'm worried about it!
It's fine! People often say I'm blue-eyed!
Mene! What do people say about Yellow?
Huh?
Colourful man!
Episode Two - White Conspiracy!
White Satan!
Here you go!
Hey! What are you doing?!
Who are you?!
White Satan, a white devil!
He is an evil spirit who turns the earth full of beautiful colours into pure white ashes!
Hey, what are you doing?!
Shut up, you colourful woman!
Colourful?!
Come here!
Stop it! No! Help me!
There you are, White Satan!
As usual, you're acting like you don't know anything!
Tell me what you're up to!
Alright! Here I go!
A!
If you're an idol, dream!
B!
Run up to the entertainment world's pyramid!
C!

Bad Boys have already surpassed you!

Let me explain!
An Echiranger can transform using the laughter energy of an AKB song.

Echiranger!
White Satan!
Tell me about that old lady you always stare at!
At 21 years old, she's a fine old lady!
As usual, her eyes are sparkling and she's a colorful person!
The five of them love other people's mistakes!
If you want me to tell you the points, try clearing this game this time as well!
Hey, white Satan!
This time's battle game is this!
Today, 48 Seconds Echiranger!
The rule is simple!
The five of you line up side by side, grab a red bean with chopsticks and put it in the person next to you!
If you can move it to the end in 48 seconds, you clear!
If you fail, the hostage will turn white!
Now, will you give up white Satan without fighting?
Don't mess with me!
I'll definitely clear it!
You're getting more and more lazy!
I'll show you what I can do!

Don't rush!
If you fail once, you'll get very addicted!

Will Blue be able to do it?!

Rescue success!
Now, White Satan has become a piece of wood in space!
Thank you, Echelon!
You saved me!
Welcome back!
Thank you!
But you know, I think it would have been better if you put flour on me.
See? That's why...
Just drop it there!
That's right!
You're amazing, Echelon!
Don't lose again next time, Echelon!
I'm sorry!
It's nothing! It's nothing!
It all started with this one word.
Minegishi, isn't "freshness" not enough for you?
I always do quick fixes in my songs, but I was wondering if I should change it to backfixes.
Minegishi is worried about whether she lacks "freshness" compared to her recent new members.
The unit that will participate in AKB's first backfix is...
They want to challenge themselves at an event to reveal their new song.
About two weeks before the actual event, practice finally started.
Their coach is...
This person!
Ms. Yukio Iketani, who has participated in the Olympics twice.
Currently, she runs her own gymnastics club in Kodaira City and encourages the development of her club.
I'm confident!
Yes!
That's what Minegishi said, but...
How was it, coach?
It wasn't good.
Oh, it wasn't good?
Not yet!
Minegishi learned dancing for four years at AKB48 and was confident in her athleticism,
but the backfixing wall was too thick.
It's not good, is it?
Her own lack of "freshness" caused her to shed tears.
Then, as long as she could afford it, she brought her feet to the practice room and worked hard again.
And...
The day of fate has come.
Hey, Minegishi!
Minegishi!
Oh, you did it, Minegishi!
How's it going?
I wonder...
What's with the atmosphere? It's amazing!
I didn't expect it to be like this.
I practiced a lot, like bungee jumping and other things.
But I haven't been able to do it yet.
I haven't been able to do it yet.
It's not like I'm excited about it or anything like that, but I really haven't been able to do it yet.
No matter how much she practices for two weeks, she still hasn't been able to do it without help.
Wait a minute! The number of customers is increasing a lot.
Even though there is a four-hour delay until the start, there are already overflowing customers at the venue.
It's hard for the media too, isn't it?
If you leave it like this, you'll end up in the newspaper.
It's like this.
What is that?!
Minigishi Minami, a woman with only words.
You're embarrassing me!
In the first place, it's winter, but you're wearing no-tee...
That's irrelevant!
What do you two think?
I can only say, "Do your best."
But it's really like that. We can't do anything.
Minigishi can only say "do your best."
That's right, but...
There is only one way to success. There is only practice.
One, two, three...
It's dangerous.
It's dangerous, but for now, I haven't touched it much in the beginning.
I haven't held it, right? That means I've been doing it myself up to now.
You're alive!
I'm alive, right?
Minigishi...
I haven't touched it much, right?
You're alive!
With the results of two weeks of intense training,
he can now show the beautiful transcendence of what assistance is needed.
You're alive, you're alive.
I didn't think I'd be able to do it.
You can do it, right?
You seem like you can do it, right?
Yeah, I seem like I can do it.
It's something that everyone can think of and feel at ease with,
so I'm confident in myself.
I don't want to say I can do it.
I'm confident, seriously.
You can do it, you can do it.
You can do it, Minigishi.
You can do it!
Minigishi!
The rest is up to him.
Satagura's harsh and warm performance pushes Minigishi's back.
What did you do just now?
I couldn't say what I did just now, but if I could do it myself, I would be 100% fine even if I didn't do it.
On the actual stage, Minigishi rehearses his song.
Minigishi is impatient because there is little time left.
Even after rehearsal, Minigishi spends time practicing.
How is your physical condition now?
Are you tired?
No, I'm fine.
Minigishi refuses to take a break and keeps practicing.
Minigishi wants to succeed in the band practice.
That thought alone pushed Minigishi forward.
However...
My legs hurt.
Your legs hurt? Where does it hurt?
Sit down.
Suddenly, Minigishi complains of pain in his ankle.
The air on the stage freezes in an instant.
Bring me some ice. I'll prepare some ice.
Yes, sir.
Two weeks of intense practice.
Minigishi's ankle, which had been in a bad condition for two hours that day, was already approaching its limit.
In some cases, it could even be the worst retirement ever.
Takahashi and Kojima, who know about Minegishi's efforts so far, could not properly see her face.
"Bad boys" can't even find words to call them.
Fortunately, it wasn't a concussion, but the pain didn't go away.
Then...
Okay, let's take a break.
Okay.
Come here, you two.
Iketani left Minegishi and said he wanted to talk to "bad boys".
Then he said something shocking.
It's hard. It's hard to make a decision.
I want you to do it.
Because if you don't do it, you'll get hurt.
You'd better quit.
Yeah.
Because it's dangerous.
That's right.
Iketani decided to resign.
However, as a professional instructor, it is very difficult for him to make a concussion in his current state.
And that decision is also told to Minegishi.
I'll make a decision.
You can't do it now.
I won't let you do it.
Because if it's that dangerous, I won't let you do it.
I won't let you get hurt.
But I have the courage to quit.
When I quit and I'm really confident,
I'll do it with confidence.
Because this is not the goal.
That's why everyone who has worked so hard so far acknowledges Minami's efforts, so I don't say anything.
Minagishi Minami. Retirement with no regrets.
Suddenly, he changed the choreography to a non- backlit version and decided to rehearse again on stage.
Members and staff can't be bothered.
Even if it doesn't work today, there will be another opportunity.
So today I have no choice but to give up.
In his heart, Minagishi told himself many times.
At that time...
It hasn't changed since his debut.
When he was about to give up...
When he was in pain...
He always helped himself.
His fans' support.
I don't care about tomorrow. I want the fans who came today to be happy.
You know what you want to do, don't you?
Minegishi, there's no reason for you to quit.
That's why you're doing this.
You're doing this to get back in.
That's right, that's right.
Take responsibility for yourself.
That's smart of you.
You know that, don't you?
You can make it happen on the street, don't you?
Don't you?
You can do it, don't you?
Don't you?
You can do it, don't you?
Minegishi never bowed his head to the persuasion of the desperate people around him.
When he debuted, every day was a challenge.
He did his best for the fans who came that day.
That feeling may have faded away at some point.
That's why I want to fly.
And...
I'm going in like I did in rehearsal, so let's do it.
You want to do it, don't you?
If I don't go in like I did in rehearsal, you can't make me do it.
Because it's dangerous.
Right?
But you want to do it, don't you?
Minegishi's feelings moved Iketani's heart.
Thank you for waiting. Let's call them in!
North Reeves is here!
Welcome!
The stage of fate opened the curtain.
Hello!
The fans who rushed to Minegishi's backstage challenge are 4,000 people.
Thank you for waiting. Let's call them in!
North Reeves is here!
And finally, the curtain of Minegishi's challenge stage will open!
A momentary coincidence of love that ended in a blink of an eye
Minegishi's turning point is her impression after the chorus.
Could it be...
You and friends, baby, what's wrong with you?
Don't take away my kindness
Your hands that spoke softly
Don't make me feel lonely
It's so beautiful, I can't help but remember it
This dazzling love and passion
Once again today
In this sky
Even the falling stars
Once you find them
Embrace them right away
Let's go, continue
The sky
Minagishi Minami's backflip was a great success!
That backflip may not have been beautiful.
But that was all Minagishi could do now.
When she debuted, she couldn't do anything yet.
It was like she was dancing with all her might.
A round of applause!
Here, Iketani-san also appears on stage.
Good evening, everyone!
I'm Iketani Yukio.
Minami-chan, even though you only had 2 weeks, you still wanted to do backflip.
We tried our best to teach you and Minami-chan also tried her best.
However, today, I stopped her from doing it alone.
Because even if you got hurt, you wouldn't be able to do it alone.
Actually, Minami-chan said she wanted to do it alone, but I stopped her.
If she was going to do it, I would have gone in and told her she could do it.
But even so, she still did it.
It seems like Minami-chan really wanted to show you her backflip until she died.
A round of applause for Minami-chan!
How did you like it, Takahashi?
Why are you crying?!
Cut it out!
Cut it out, you!
Huh?! Kojima's a little...
Huh?! You're crying?!
Good job!
It's over, though.
I've been running towards that one thing with all my heart, thinking about it as hard as I could in my normal life.
I've been doing that for years and forgetting about it.
I've been thinking about it in a new way.
Rather than doing what you can do tomorrow, do what you can do today with all your heart.
You're the one who taught me how to do that.
