AISubs v3.5
Osaka. What is the origin of the name and the hidden mystery behind it?
There was a line about only this area.
Wow!
Was that place here in the past?
An unexpected origin of the name Nandokuchi.
It's a little scary, that place.
Let's go.
Around here...
Stand up!
Watch out!
Mei!
Good morning!
This special lecture is by Professor Akihide Tanikawa of Tsukuba University.
He is a specialist in Chilean names, and has written many articles about names.
Thank you for having me.
Tanian's shirt doesn't look like yours.
I'm not wearing Tanian's shirt all of a sudden.
I'm a teacher.
Even though you are not from Kansai, you are studying the names of Kansai, right?
About 6 or 7 years ago, a publisher asked me to publish a book about Osaka.
I went there for about a year.
To Osaka!
And I fell in love with Osaka.
Thank you very much!
And I fell in love with Osaka's charm.
In one word, what is Osaka's charm?
No matter what you eat, it's delicious.
What was the most delicious?
I went to an udon restaurant near Umeda.
Their udon was delicious.
So I won three times.
Udon was delicious?
There is no udon restaurant like that in Tokyo.
Many people use the name "Osaka" and "Umeda" for their names.
Everyone has heard of "Umeda" since birth.
But why is it called "Umeda"?
First of all, why is it called "Umeda"?
Does anyone know?
Saipi?
It's like the best part of Shochiku Bay.
But it's the lowest part of Umeda, right?
No, it's the opposite!
It's Shochiku Bay, right?
Oh, it's the opposite.
It's the opposite, but it's still Umeda.
Nagisa?
Many people use the name "Umeda".
Ah, it's where you live, right?
Yes.
Is there a place where it's decided like that?
Well, sometimes people use different names, but...
There is, right?
In this case, it's different.
It's different.
Akari?
It's filled with plums and rice paddies.
Nishimori-san?
Um... I'll work for you.
I say it every time, but you'll get fired if you say things like that.
Please work for me.
There were many roadshops at the time.
Umeda!
Please work for me!
This is also Umeda!
That's Umeda!
Umeda!
Please make it longer.
It's hard to say "Umeda!" every time.
That's not it!
Let's see the correct answer!
The origin of "Umeda" is here.
It was originally filled with vast landfills.
It was filled, right?
If you look at it now...
There are huge buildings lined up.
I don't know why, but...
That area is low.
As land?
As land, it's low.
In the past, there was always a lowland like this.
They filled it up and made a rice field.
That's where "Umeda" came from.
But there were many wonderful opinions.
They hardly met.
But wonderful ideas came up.
It's great.
That's right.
While they were saying "Umeda, Umeda, Umeda, Umeda,"
"Umeda, Umeda, Umeda," people started calling it like that.
But "Umeda," "Umeru" means "land" and "sato," right?
"Umeru" means "land."
But now, "Umeru" has changed, right?
That's right.
"Umeru" of "land" doesn't have a good image in terms of kanji.
That's why "Umeru" doesn't have a good image in terms of kanji.
There are a lot of "Umeru"s all over the country.
But any area has "Umeru"s that change bad kanji into good kanji.
This is originally "Umeda," "Umeda" rice field.
But now, "Umeda," has been changed into "Umeda," which means "plum."
That's why it's such a beautiful name, right?
That's right.
By the way, you said you wanted to know about it.
It's like this, right?
"Umeda" used to be like this.
You're overdoing it with this picture.
But it's really like this, right?
I'm a little overdoing it.
You're overdoing it.
Maybe, but...
You're overdoing it.
It was a land that had a lot of water, so it was close to this area.
It was wet all the time.
Yes, it was wet all the time.
That's why you couldn't even farm.
But if the Yodowa River, which was a low area, decided to flood...
That's right. In the past, if the Yodowa River decided to flood like that, all of it would be flooded.
I've heard of it, but it's said that the water level is dangerous.
It's dangerous because there used to be water.
But you may be reading my book, right?
You may be reading my book, right?
Actually, I'm reading it.
You're lying!
You may be reading it!
If you were reading it...
Why are you assuming that you're not reading my book?
It's selling well, isn't it?
I know, I know.
It's selling really well.
No, what we're talking about now is...
When "sanzi" comes up, it's related to water.
As you say, it's dangerous to make "sanzi".
Let's compare it with the old map of Osaka where the wetland used to be.
This is the current Osaka, isn't it?
Yes, it is.
Is this the current Osaka station?
Yes, it is.
This is Osaka.
If you look at the map from thousands of years ago...
This is Osaka station.
It's totally different.
It's totally different, isn't it?
This is Osaka's situation thousands of years ago.
To put it simply...
"Naniwa-no-mia" is the current Osaka station.
Osaka station.
- Is that Osaka station? - Yes, it is.
- It's straight ahead from here, isn't it? - Yes, it is.
It goes south from here all the way to Sumire- shitai-sha.
In the past, there was only land around here.
- What about the sea? - The rest of the area was filled with land.
In fact, up to the 7 prefectures border, the sea was connected.
- What?! - Really?
- This is Ikomoyama? - Yes, Ikomoyama.
- You stayed in Ikomoyama, didn't you? - Yes, I did.
Especially in Hideo Ishii's era, they built cities.
Then, the city was filled with cities.
In 1907, a railroad was built here.
For the first time, a railroad was built in Kansai.
There was a line that connected with Kobe.
At that time, even if it was a railroad, since it was a locomotive, it ran while blowing fire, didn't it?
In many areas of Japan, they opposed it.
Because it would cause a fire.
- They opposed the railroad running. - They opposed it.
So, like Dojima, they built a station not in the center of the city, but a little away from it.
Moreover, even if fire flew, they built it in a place where it wouldn't be dangerous.
- They built it in a place with water and fields. - I see.
Besides Osaka Station, which was born in Meiji Era, the city of Osaka developed more and more.
From steam locomotives to electric railroads, instead of worrying about fire, new stations such as roadside trains and underground trains were born one after another.
Next, Osaka. What was Osaka's origin?
Ah, Miyuki, you're fast.
Osaka's "saka" was originally "saka" of "saka".
An underground room, right?
That's why there was a big "saka".
I see. Locally.
Nishimori-san.
Since there are a lot of "saka", it's like "hurry up and go".
If you walk slowly in an underground room like that, you'll turn around and say "sakao".
If you say "sakao", you'll say "sakao".
If you say "sakao", one of you will say "osaka".
One of you will say "sakao".
Can you make such a funny joke?
Let's see the correct answer.
What was Osaka's origin?
This one!
Originally, it was a small "saka" and it was called "osaka".
However, it became "osaka" because of the salt industry.
Wow, I didn't know that.
Around 1500 B.C., it is said that an old man called Osaka "osaka" today.
But, why did it become such a big "saka"?
Nowadays, there are a lot of "saka" around Osaka Castle, right?
But, I don't think it was a big "saka".
I think it was a small "saka".
There might have been a few of them.
But, rather than calling it "osaka" with this small "saka",
as Osaka people's pride, we have a desire to make it as big as possible.
For example, like Hideyoshi, we want to make a big city or a big castle.
We have a desire for bigger things.
That's why we call it "osaka" or "osaka" instead of "osaka".
This is a historical fact.
Why is the kanji for "saka" different from now?
That's a good question.
You are a wonderful student.
He is a good student.
Why did it change from "osaka" to "saka" now?
That's a very good question.
There is one main answer.
One of them is this kanji for "saka" in Osaka.
Just like the kanji for "umeru", it's "tsuchihen", right?
We also call it "tsuchi ni kaeru".
What does "tsuchi ni kaeru" mean?
Recycling?
No, it's not like that.
It's positive.
It's positive. It's not recycling.
"Tsuchi ni kaeru" is...
It's a big old-fashioned word.
Recycling?
It's "tsuchi ni kaeru".
What does "kaeru" mean?
"Tsuchi ni kaeru" is...
It's "haka", "haka".
It's dying, right?
So, it's not good for the environment.
It came out in the second half of the Edo period.
If I die and get buried and become wood waste,
is it okay for me to recycle myself?
I want to talk about it.
It's okay, but it's not okay.
If I become earth waste...
Please become earth waste.
So, it leads to death.
People didn't like it.
Also, after I became a wise man,
when I became a wise man and became a new government,
actually, if you change "tsuchi" from "tsuchihen" to "tsuchi ni kaeru",
"bushi no shi" means "servant of death" and "han" means "rebellion"
In order to connect with this image,
Meiji Shinsei government hated this word.
So they decided to change "kosato hen" to "tsuchi ni kaeru"
And even after entering Meiji,
this and "kosato hen" are still used today.
It's a little difficult to say "shisei chosonsei",
but to put it simply,
until then, there was only "mura" (village)
After Meiji, they made "shi" and "machi" (town)
That was in Meiji 22.
At that time, "osaka shi" was first created.
It was officially introduced in "kosato hen".
So in the end, they changed the image of "kosato hen".
It's the same in case of "osaka".
From "osaka" to "o-o-zaka" and "osaka" to "osaka" now.
That kind of history is in "osaka".
"osaka" is a familiar word.
"osaka" of "tsuchi hen" can still be seen in "sekihi" and other places.
Now, let's move on to the next topic.
Here it is!
Read the origin of "osaka"'s unique name and name place!
"osaka" is cute.
It suits you.
"osaka", right?
There are places you can't read even if you live in "osaka", right?
Let's take a look.
"osaka"'s unique name and name place.
How many of you can read it?
Even if you can't read it...
I can read it! I can read it!
You can read all of it.
First, is it on the top left corner?
Hirakata.
That's correct.
Juso.
I don't know.
Ah!
Shiguru-chan got on the wrong train and ended up there.
How did you get on the wrong train?
Where did you plan to go on the train?
We were going to a festival and when we got home...
I wanted to go home so I was heading towards No. Home.
But we ended up here.
How did you get on the wrong train?
You got on the wrong train.
It was a really cool train so I was like "is it okay?"
How can you say that?
That's true.
You got on the wrong train.
Can you read it?
Ah!
Itachibori.
That's amazing. Itachibori.
That's correct.
What's on the top right corner?
Nakamatsu.
That's correct.
Ah! Nakamatsu!
What about this one?
Do you know it?
Kumata.
That's amazing!
Isn't it in Osaka?
It's in Kumata but I studied there because I like energy drinks.
You studied there?
There's a really good udon restaurant across the street.
Yes, yes, yes.
Kumata crossing.
Seisei also likes udon so he went there.
There's a really good katsu udon restaurant.
Ah! Kumata crossing.
The one with rice mixed in.
I don't know it.
It's really good.
Let's go eat it.
No, let's not go eat it.
What's under that?
Hanaten.
Ah, hanaten.
Do you know what's under that?
We don't know.
But you really don't know if you come from outside of Osaka, right?
We don't know.
Hmm...
Can you read it if you come from outside of Osaka?
We can't read it.
Osaka's unique name.
Can you all read it?
We're going to introduce some of the origins of the name.
Let's start with Juso.
What do you think of Juso's name?
There were 13 strong warriors.
Ah, I see.
It's fashionable.
Fashionable?
Uka!
When we were thinking of the name, there were 13 of us.
Hmm...
That's good.
Saika!
The one who came up with the name were the 13 brothers.
Most of them.
Megi!
In Awase Kagami...
The 13th one...
That's scary!
In Awase Kagami...
That's scary!
What do you think of Juso's origin, Sensei?
There are various theories about it, but...
There's Yodogawa, right?
Yodogawa, yes.
It was like that in the Edo period, but...
There was a policy of not letting bridges cross rivers.
Not letting them cross?
Not letting them cross!
The reason for that is...
If you cross a big river like this...
The enemy will attack you.
Ah, I see.
And what they did instead of that...
They created a system called "watashi".
What is "watashi"?
It's not "watashi".
That...
You're completely off topic!
I'm not off topic!
Did you all see that? He's completely off topic!
I'm not off topic!
Everyone was so surprised, so they said it's not "watashi".
When you said that, I crushed you!
I'm sorry!
I'm not like that!
Everyone was so surprised, so they said it's not "watashi".
Then explain it!
What is "watashi" exactly?
If you cross from one river to the other...
There's no bridge, so you can use a small "watashi" ship.
That's what people say.
From the upstream, there are 13 "watashi" ships.
I think that's the most correct way of looking at it.
Next, "kirei uriwari".
What is the origin of this name?
"kirei uriwari".
Ayashin!
This area's... how do you say it? People who ride bikes...
People who are excited...
Their team name.
It's like a group name.
Team name or something like that...
Like "motto".
"motto"?
Like "yoroshiku".
Like "kanji".
Like "materasku".
"memuriwari" (salesman)
It's true, but...
Like "yoroshiku".
Like "techi".
When we're happy together, we're happy when we're done selling.
It's like a weird village party.
What a waste!
Kirei Uriwari used to have two names in the north and south,
but one of them came together for one reason.
- You know Tanimashisen, right? - Yes.
- I was trying to build a new station there. - Yes.
At the time, as a first company, I chose Kirei Station.
But the opposite side said, "Why did you build it between Kirei and Uriwari,
instead of Kirei and Uriwari?"
- As a result, Kirei Uriwari became a station name. - I see.
- So it wasn't Kirei Uriwari, but Kirei and Uriwari came together and became this. - Yes.
- It's like Harry and Davidson, isn't it? - Oh, is that so?
- Harry and Davidson. - Harry and Davidson are the names of two people.
- In Osaka, you leave it like that. - I see.
- In Tokyo, you put two things together and say, for example, "Ki" and "Kiuri" come together. - I see.
- This is the most shallow culture. - If you say it like that, it's true.
- But why Osaka is amazing is because it has a history of thousands of years. - I see.
- Tokyo has a history of only 400 years. - I see.
- Osaka has a history of about four times that of Tokyo. - I see.
- You guys have inherited that history. - I see.
- That's why I love Osaka. - I see.
- That's nice. - Yes.
- Let's move on. Next is Hanaten. - Hanaten.
- What is the origin of this name? - When there was a war in the past...
- I said "Let me go!" and they did it. - A great man said, "Let me go!"
- I see. - Ishima-san.
- It was cold around there. - Around here, yes.
- It was wet and my feet were cold. - Yes.
- So I said, "Let me go!"
- "Hanaten" - "Hanaten"
- Who said that stupid thing? - It's stupid, but "Hanaten" is the word.
- "Hanaten" - What is the reason for this name?
- If you go to Hanaten, you will know it. - Yes.
- It's really low, right? - The location is low.
- In the past, it was the sea here. - We're crossing the sea now.
So, in short, there are a lot of rivers flowing in and places where water accumulates.
And if you don't release the water, water accumulates and people can't live.
Originally, it was said "hanachide"
As I said "hanachide" and so on, it became "hanate" and became "hanate".
This is common in the world of names.
General names are not conveyed in kanji, but are conveyed from mouth to ear.
As you hear it, it changes more and more.
But from here to here, it's the same as "hanate" and "tenten".
It's changed a lot.
"hanate" and "tenten" are closer.
"hanate" and "tenten"
The first, second, and third "hanate" are known, but after "hanate", who says "um"?
It's like "hanate" and "tenten".
I don't know much about Osaka dialect, but don't Osaka people say "hanaten" rather than "hanate"?
"um" is certainly one by one.
"um" is familiar in Osaka, isn't it?
It's like "shimashten".
It's like "hanate".
I see.
You don't need "um" of "shimashten".
That's right.
You don't need it at all.
This is the market I just explained for the first time.
Why is "um" so expensive?
Looking at the reaction, it's pretty good.
"hanaten" is cooler than "hanate", isn't it?
It's in good condition.
"shimashten"?
That's right.
"hanaten"?
"hanatetende"!
It's a good way of saying it.
"hanatende" is a good way of saying it.
And this name "itachibori" written as "tachiuri" spread as it was because people called "date" "itachi" instead of "tachi".
It seems that "tachiuri" and "chi" were coined because woodworkers were doing business while "tachi".
Now, in Osaka city, there are many famous names like "yodoyabashi" and "tenmabashi".
So, the next topic is "suito osaka happyakuyabashi".
I'd like you to think about the time when Hideyoshi created it.
In Osaka city, there are many places in the south- east and north-west.
Many of them are rivers or lakes.
And there are many bridges.
In Edo period, there were three big cities.
Edo is "happyakuyacho" which means "happyakuyo city".
Kyoto is "happyakuyadera" which means "temple".
And Naniwa is "happyakuyabashi" which means "osaka".
And "happyakuhachi" doesn't mean that there were "happyakuhachi" in reality.
"happyakuhachi" doesn't mean that there were "happyakuhachi" in reality.
This is Osaka's amazing part.
I see.
Among you, Yodoyabashi is the most popular, isn't it?
Yodoyabashi was also built by Yodoyasan who sold his property and built this bridge.
That is Yodoyabashi.
Yes, Yodoyabashi.
Therefore, Osaka had a strong merchant's power.
It is said that "Osaka is a big country".
This is Osaka's land, isn't it?
Yes, yes.
There are a lot of bridges here.
Like Dotonbori River.
This is Nagahori Street.
Nagahori Street.
Yes, yes.
And this is Shinmachi Bridge.
And this is Naniwasu Bridge.
Yes, yes.
So, this is Yamauchi's house.
Don't say it!
What?
You said it in an easy-to-understand way.
Are you crazy?
What did you say?
Mini-stop?
What did you say?
Mini-stop!
You can't say it.
The first floor is a big kitchen for grilling.
Don't say it!
Even if someone comes or not, you'll be sad.
Even if you don't react...
At that time, until the middle of the Meiji era,
they carried rivers and forests and bushes.
They carried everything by boat.
That's why they built bridges like this.
Let's pay attention to this bridge first.
Yotsubashi Bridge.
Now, not a single bridge is built.
Yes, there is.
And what was Yotsubashi like in the Edo period?
It's still there.
It's an old Yotsubashi.
It's like this.
I see.
They built four bridges.
This is Nagahori River.
That's Nagahori River.
This is Naga...
It's west.
Yes, yes, yes.
This is east.
The river that runs south-north is Nishiyokobori River.
This river.
I've never heard of it.
It's Nishiyokobori River.
There was also Higashiyokobori River.
And they built bridges where this river intersects.
Isn't it amazing?
Osaka is amazing, isn't it?
Because usually, two rivers meet like this.
Yes, yes, yes.
Right?
And here, they intersected two rivers at a right angle.
Wow.
This.
That doesn't happen.
Right?
That's true.
There is no river that intersects at a right angle.
Because it flows.
Right?
It flows.
This part of the river.
Where?
Sensei.
Sensei, you're like a friend all of a sudden.
Hello.
In other words, rivers that are close to the sea don't flow, but stay still.
Ah.
Most of them.
Rivers that stay still?
Yes, rivers that stay still.
I see.
So, when this becomes a road sign, water moves this way.
Yes, yes.
When it's a road sign, water flows this way.
And most of them stay still.
I see.
Does that answer your question?
Yes, it does answer my question.
Next, take a look at this.
Actually, until the 3rd century BC...
Wow.
This bridge stood until the 3rd century BC.
Normally, this is just a fishing pole.
No, it's not.
It's like a lucky case.
But this bridge stood until the 3rd century BC.
By the way, on the wall of Yotsubashi Station's home subway station,
an old bridge's name is designed.
Can you read it?
Sumiya Bridge.
It's drawn diagonally in hiragana.
Now that we have chopsticks, we got some interesting old chopstick photos.
Here it is.
Do you know where this is?
The chopstick at the place where big ducks are.
Where is it?
The chopstick at the place where big ducks are. Where was it?
Nakano Island.
Ah, that's right. Is it wrong?
It's not at Nakano Island.
Huh?
What is it?
Tenmabashi?
It's not Tenmabashi. What is it?
It's at Nanba's Glico.
Hikkakebashi.
That's correct.
Hikkakebashi.
Ebisubashi, right?
Ebisubashi.
It's different.
But if you look at the earlier video and look at the facts, it's kind of like...
It's similar, isn't it?
It's true.
Ah, it's the place where they used to pick up girls in the back of the old days.
No, it's not.
I was called Hikkakebashi from there.
That area is H & M.
I see, I see.
But it's similar, isn't it?
The atmosphere is similar.
The feeling of people coming and going.
That's right.
If you look at it like this, you can see the flow of history.
It's interesting.
By the way, the origin of the name "Doutonbori" comes from the name of a man named Yasui Douton, who excavated the forest.
A merchant who lived in the Sengoku and Edo periods completed his fortune in 1615 under Toyotomi Hiyoshi.
His achievements will be remembered as "Doutonbori".
Now, it's a well-known name representing Osaka.
Now, let's move on to the next theme.
The next theme is this.
The mysterious place buried in history.
Let's find out the mysterious place buried in history and look around Osaka.
First of all, here it is.
Sennichimae.
It's famous and everyone is based in this place.
Sennichimae.
First of all, Sensei, why do you call it Sennichimae?
It doesn't mean going back a thousand years.
You all know about Hozenji, right?
Yes.
Hozenji Yokocho and so on.
It's small now, but it used to be bigger in the past.
In Jodo Prefecture, raw waste has been caught for about a thousand days or three years.
Isn't it?
No, it's not.
If you say it's not, how can I say it?
I'm sorry.
It seems that they have been doing business to catch a thousand days of raw waste here.
It is also said that it is a "thousand days old temple".
On the south side, "thousand days" means in front of the temple.
I see.
There is a theory that "thousand days old temple" is a "thousand days worth of worship" and that it was also a "temple for the salvation of sinners".
This "thousand days old temple" is also said to be a "temple for the salvation of sinners", but...
A thousand days ago, there was actually a execution ground near here.
Let's take a look at the old map of the area a thousand years ago.
Please look carefully.
This is Dotonbori.
And this is Ebisu Bridge.
This is Nippon Bridge.
You know what I'm talking about, right?
Where is the word "thousand years ago" located?
Down there.
"Thousand years ago" means...
Turn around and look.
It's like this because it's south.
By the way, everyone...
Have you seen "NMB Theater"?
Just the entrance.
It's right in front of "No. Grand Canis".
It's around there, right?
"Thousand years ago"...
There were a lot of coffins.
And the reason why there were coffins is...
Osaka Castle...
Well...
They lost against Ieyasu.
And after that...
They collected the graves...
Around here.
They collected them.
And...
Look again!
Everyone, look carefully!
Here, it says "execution ground"
It says "execution ground"
What does "execution ground" mean?
It's where you cut off your head
Yes, it's where you execute
This area is either the execution ground or where you cut off your head
It's also where human bones were lying around
It's amazing
The school where we had our base is also underground
There are horses and small animals
Isn't it amazing?
You go down the spiral staircase and open it
Yes, yes
And from the lesson room...
You go down the elevator...
You go down and go past the vending machine and there's a small staircase
There's something you can remove from under the acorn
In the past, Nishimori-san used to pee under the acorn
I didn't do it!
You did it, didn't you?
I did it!
Around 5 in the morning, I went to the cleaning lady with a mop and BAM!
I was sleeping like this
I was drunk and BAM!
You're a criminal, aren't you?
You're scary
Next is this
A little scary Oogi Town
It's here!
It's Oogi Town
It's Oogi Town where Kansai TV is recording this program
There's a place like this right next to Oogi Town Park
VTR, please
We discovered a surprising place in Oogi Town Park
At the south end of Oogi Town Park, right next to the entrance of Hanshin Expressway, there's a small shop
It's over there.
Let's go through it.
Yes, let's go through it.
Yes.
It is said that people around this fence are called "the famous people of Yaegaki", but now they are surrounded by fences and cannot visit.
Did you know that there is a place surrounded by fences like that in Oogi Town Park?
Have you ever seen such a place?
It's a small shop, but now you can't go in or visit, but in fact, there is a sad story in this shop.
Oh, it's cute.
I like it.
In the early Edo period, there were a man and a woman who were lovers, but another man, who was one-sided with the woman, killed them both, and the man died and the woman was also seriously injured.
At that time, there was a execution ground in Oogi Town, and the man who was killed was executed, but the woman committed suicide out of sadness.
At that time, she said she would become an evil spirit who could not die at this rate.
A few decades later, the curse came true, and a princess named Yaegaki died and this shop was built.
It was a execution ground in the first place.
Yes, but it's in Oogi Town.
What did you say?
I haven't talked about it anymore.
I've only been to execution grounds.
Rika-chan just talked about it.
I've only been to execution grounds.
Why?
Yamauchi, go and check it out.
Could you turn it over for me?
It's the scariest story.
I thought it would be okay.
I was worried.
And this is not the only scary story in Oogi Town.
There's more?
Yes, there's more.
On May 15th, 1882, the Horikawa Prison Department was established.
It was a place where political prisoners and criminals were imprisoned.
There was a place that was so scary that you could cry and shut up.
As Umeda development progressed, Oogi Town Park was built.
In World War II, an air raid shelter was built in Oogi Town Park.
More than 200 people were sacrificed in the air raid.
According to one theory, people are still buried in Oogi Town Park.
I'm scared.
I heard something.
What did you hear?
I heard a man's voice.
What?
I heard it, too.
Was it me?
You said you heard something.
I didn't say anything.
Didn't you?
I heard it.
Really?
Since earlier.
Since earlier?
Onsen-san, are you in there?
Stop it.
Onsen-san?
Stop it.
I'm scared.
What?
Onsen-san?
Onsen-san can't be in there.
Onsen-san?
What are you doing?
I'm scared.
I'm here for you.
How are you two doing?
Recently, I got promoted and became a second-year high school student.
Congratulations!
Thank you!
Are you still a junior high school student?
I'm a junior high school student.
I will do my best.
And this order is...
Ta-dah!
From all dangers, learn how to protect yourself!
Dangerous!
This order is...
From all dangers, learn how to protect yourself!
From all dangers you may encounter in your daily life,
you will be given various missions to protect yourself.
The first mission is...
Dog Walking on Every Island.
The first mission here is... Escaping.
We'll have you escape from the police station.
This is what Konomi was doing before, right?
I was so scared!
Everyone was so scared that they were crouching.
Are you okay?
Didn't you get bitten a lot?
And the police station that will chase us again is... Kiba.
By the way, how fast is Kiba's feet?
100 meters in 10 seconds.
100 meters in 10 seconds?!
That's amazing!
Twice! Twice!
First, we'll have you show us how you'll be bitten.
If you fall...
You might end up in the police station.
It's fast! It's fast!
It's really fast!
And with that speed, you'll definitely fall.
I can't get away.
Even if you fall, we won't let you go.
No matter how much you move, we won't let you go.
Where is Kyushu?
Is it Omata?
It's Nodo.
Oh, it's Nodo!
It's Omata.
It's not Omata. It's Omata.
You look like you're about to die as an idol.
Aren't you showing off too much?
The first one is Luka's Challenge.
The mission here is...
If you can escape through the door about 50 meters ahead of you, you pass.
If you catch up to the police officer's fangs, you'll start in 3 seconds.
Please do your best!
We'll be waiting for you!
Ready...
Start!
Oh, I'm scared! I'm scared!
I'm scared! I'm scared!
Ruka's mission failed.
This is the most delicious one.
It was a little like flying.
What happened?
I did flying for the first time in my life.
Next up is Ruri.
What's up? What's up? What's up?
It was a funny way of running.
Ah! What should I do?!
It's dangerous! It's dangerous!
It's dangerous!
Gacha!
It hurts!
Yuri's mission failed just before the goal.
At this rate, I'll probably be able to escape.
Ririka can clear it.
It's not dangerous at all.
What will you do, then?
One second?
One second?!
And with that, the last two Riripons are one second apart from the police.
Riripons are one second apart from the police.
Their second mission is to escape.
They've come to Batting Center Rainbow Stadium.
Here, they'll perform a mission requiring dynamic vision to escape.
They'll stand in a batter box and try to see what's written on the flying balls.
The fastest ball here is the slowest one, at 70 km/h.
The first one is Riripon.
Luka and Yuuri will draw the picture of the ball they'll throw.
It's a star.
There are three balls in total.
Can they see it?
First ball.
I can't see it at all.
And the second ball is...
It's a bit far.
It's hot!
Yay! It's hot!
It rolled down.
I can see it now.
The last three balls.
Batting?
I see. You can't see it.
With a red pen, I could see a messy line.
It's a picture of Luka-senpai's second face.
What?! Stars?!
Stars!
It's a straight line of stars.
Next, Luka will also try, but...
Yuri and Dilipon wrote...
I hope we don't know each other's faces and fail.
And the last one is Yuri.
By the way, the answer is "soccer ball."
First ball and second ball don't look like anything at all.
Look!
It doesn't look like anything at all!
Look!
And the last three balls...
Just tell me what you're confused about.
Heart...
Spade...
Soccer ball...
Diamond?
Diamond?!
Is there anything else?
Nope!
Why did you choose that out of the four?
Was there an answer?
It's definitely a diamond.
It is a diamond.
Safety. Protecting yourself from danger is a high crime.
Slippery. Self-destructing in high speed.
Can you master how to protect yourself?
I'm really slow.
But thanks to the police, I was able to run a lot faster than usual.
I'm glad about that.
Kashiko, who was excellent this week as well, is no good at all.
It's either a punishment or a reward.
Then, I'll announce it.
This week's Kashiko is...
Konomi!
She asked a good question and was reading a teacher's book.
She was highly praised for that.
She was great. She was reading.
She was reading wonderfully.
And this week's stupid girl is...
Milky!
She said "no" while explaining it to the teacher.
That's a big problem.
It can't be wrong.
There's no way it's wrong.
She's a specialist in that field.
She's a honorary professor at Tsukuba University.
She said "no" while explaining it to the teacher.
She's a honorary professor at Tsukuba University.
Yes.
After Milky said "no" to the teacher in a low voice...
She said "no" but I didn't know what to do.
Please be careful.
I'm sorry.
Yes, please!
Here's the question.
Where is Umeda from?
Umeda...
Here's the next question.
What is Osaka's independent name called?
Five...
Four...
Three...
Two...
One...
Here's the last question.
What is enshrined in a small shrine on the south end of Ogimachi Park?
A princess?
A princess.
She said "no" while explaining it to the teacher in a low voice...
Ouch!
Um...
I don't feel like doing it!
