Fishing Enthusiast Sanpei (1980–1982): Season 1, Episode 7 - Karudera no ao funa 1 aoi numa no misuteri - full transcript
Yuri and I both came to the
Mikazukiko.
The water quality is clear
and the air is fresh.
Yuri's grandma stays nearby
this lake.
It's a very beautiful place.
San-chan.
Ah...
I met a skillful fisher at
this place.
He is Kyoshin-san.
While fishing, he's on his
vacation on the Japan's islands.
And he looks very smart.
I was deeply attracted by
his amazing skills.
That Kyoshin-san said that he
was here to fish the Kappa.
When he talked about it, I
have heard that too.
Aiko-nesan's brother,
was dragged drown to death by
the Kappa in the lake.
How could it be possible to
have such thing in this world?
To find out the truth,
I've came to Mikazuki together
with Aiko-nesan.
At that moment, I've got to
see that fish.
It was a shadow of a giant
Koi swimming care freely under
the lake.
Is that the true identity of
that Kappa?
I've decided to fish it up
to reveal it's true identity!
At the same time, Kyoshin-san
also had confirmed that it's
a wild Koi.
Never mind, I won't lose to
Kyoshin-san.
Chapter 7 - Wild Koi of Mikazukiko (3)
'The Competition with Kyoshin-san'
Aiko-nesan.
Cab you please don't make any
noise?
Ah, yes! Senpei-chan.
Will this be all right?
Yes. This is the way... Just
like this...
Oh! Let's take that!
Senpei-chan, have you see the
wild Koi yet?
No. I'm searching a passageway.
A passageway?
Yes.
According to my understandings,
Koi is a king of fish which has
a certain habitual behavior.
Everyday, it uses a certain
passageway to patrol its
territory.
Oh...
So, as long as we could find
out its passageway, there will
be the fishing spot.
And it's the best fishing spot.
Oh, I see...
This doesn seem easy at all.
Aiko-nesan
When the water is muddy, we
won't be able to see it clearly.
Can you please paddle it
slightly higher?
Ah... have you found the
passageway?
Yes.
Aiko-nesan, do you want to
have a look?
Yes, I do.
You don't have to be nervous.
Although we're at the passageway
but we're not the fish.
Don't have to worry about
things that might happen.
Just watch closely.
Ah! It's true! Just like the
boat owner has changed.
How was it?
Can you see it, Aiko-nesan?
The bottom became very clean...
There's no mucilage and rubbish.
Senpei-chan, where is the
passageway?
Huh? Can't you see it?
Because it will come back a
few times each day,
that's why there's no waterweeds
and mud.
This place is very smooth. It
has formed into a straight line.
And yet it will lead all the
way towards the front.
From what you've said, looks
like it's true.
I'm sorry. I have no experience
in fishing at all.
So... I don't quite know about
thing like this.
It's all right. I'll teach you
slowly during free time.
Now, Aiko-nesan.
Now please let the boat move
forward slowly.
Oh! Okay!
I still think being a boat
owner feel more relaxed.
Ha... ha...
Aiko-nesan, that's right.
That's right.
Ha... ha... ha...
Damn it! That stupid San-chan!
Since when he started to be
so close to her?
Aiko-nesan.
Can you please make a right
turn?
How is it? Is it all right
like this?
Okay. Okay.
Senpei-chan, you're so friendly
and easy going.
That's because Aiko-nesan and I
have good tacit of understanding.
Ha... ha... ha... You mouth can
really sweet talk well.
What do you mean by good
implication?!
I really can't stand it!
Ah!
Yes?
What's wrong, Senpei-chan?
This area suddenly became deep.
We can't see the passageway
by using this.
It's giving me a headache.
We have came so far...
Huh?! Don't tell me that you
want to go into the water and
search for it?!
Don't worry.
But please don't move the boat!
Hey, Senpei-chan!
Just like what we have thought.
The passageway of the wild Koi
is very beautiful.
Oh! The favorite for the wild
Koi is these field snail!
In this case, it wouldn't have
to worry about food.
Huh? What is this?
Ah! It's a piece of scale!
What a big piece of scale!
This big scale...
Guess it must belongs to that
fish.
Umm... It sure belongs to that
fish!
Yet this is the passageway...
Huh? A forest?!
A place like this is best for
the fish to rest itself.
Looks like it was some kind of
white mulberry garden or
something long time ago.
Because of the flood or some
reason, it sank under the bottom
and formed this.
There're small fish swimming
around that area.
Now, I have found myself a
good fishing spot.
Huh? What is that?
Wouldn't that be...
that kappa?
If it's really that Kappa,
Then, I wouldn't let it alone.
Huh?! It's trying to escape?
Okay!
I must get you and reveal your
true identity!
Damn it! How can it can swim
so fast?
Oh, no! I'm out of air!
Even though I wouldn't believe
that such thing called Kappa,
But by looking at those bubbles,
it definitely is a tough guy.
But how should I tell Aiko-
nesan?
If I tell her that I saw
something like that Kappa,
I bet she will be very sad.
She thought that her brother
was killed by that Kappa.
Yet, if there're really a Kappa,
she'll say it's dangerous.
Then, she will refuse to help
me anymore.
Huh?
Isn't that striking voice
belongs to Yuri?
It's appearing! It's appearing!
San-chan, I saw the Kappa!
Huh, Yuri?
Where?! Where is that Kappa?
Where is it actually?
Aiko-nesan, you're so beautiful...
Eh! This stupid San-chan...
how could he...
Hey, San-chan, wake up now!
Oh ya! Yuri, where's that Kappa?
Over there!
Okay!
Here it is. San-chan, look.
There it is.
Isn't that a floating branch
with leaves on it?
It's just underneath that!
There's a black shadow swam
fast in a flash.
Huh?!
Just exactly like the bubbles
I saw just now.
San-chan, stop searching.
Let's go back.
Huh?! What's going on?
It's that fish!
San-chan, it's a wild Koi.
That's too horrifying!
It's much bigger than what I
saw from the boat!
Over there! Over there!
Look, San-chan...
K... Kappa...
That is...
what I saw when I was in the
bottom of the water!
Huh? Are those footprints
belong to that Kappa?
Is it trying to swim to the
opposite?
Okay! I'll definitely get you
this time!
T-That's the true identity of
that Kappa?
Don't hide over there like a
thief!
Just show yourself! Huh?! That
voice is...
Looks like you've finally knew
it, Senpei-kun.
Huh... Kyoshin-san?!
So, it's you, Kyoshin-san?
I was really too shock!
I never thought that the true
identity of that Kappa is
actually Kyoshin-san.
I should be the one who feel
surprise, Senpei-kun.
Huh?
Never realized that you've
found out about that wild Koi!
Yet you have found its passageway!
Kyoshin-san, you're so cunning.
Told me that there's a Kappa.
Yet you're using this kind of
apparatus to get ready for
catching that Koi.
No. I didn't mean to lie at
purpose.
My purpose to Mikazukiko is to
survey about the quality and
the flow of the water.
And also what type of living
things are there in this water.
Types of fish and waterweeds.
What is the way to breed such
giant wild Koi?
Ah! I don't want to listen to
your explanation!
A crazy fisher must have the
right attitude to show it.
You must compete just and
honorable.
Don't play any sneaky tricks
behind!
Ha... Senpei-kun, you're so
funny.
I accept your challenge!
Just like a fisher, I'll
compete with you just and
honorable!
Of course!
Then, to be fair,
let's decide the rules for
the fishing competition!
No problem!
According to what I have found
out earlier,
about the fishing spot, this
side and the opposite have
almost the same conditions.
And that giant Koi, 2 times
each day...
it surely will patrol at this
lake.
So, we'll use both these fishing
spot to decide the victory!
What do you think?
Okay! This is fair to both of
us.
Okay!
Then, I'll choose the opposite
shore.
No problem.
Then. It's decided, Kyoshin-san.
You have to keep the promise
between us.
Of course I will, Senpei-kun.
All right. So, we'll decide
it this way.
Kyoshin-san!
Anything else?
About the time for competition,
because I might need some
preparation,
so, we can't start immediately.
We'll begin tomorrow morning.
What do you think?
All right! No problem.
I can begin at any time.
Then, Kyoshin-san...
Tomorrow will be the day to
decide victory.
Ah... what an interesting kid!
However, his eyes are full of
wildness.
It's the sight of a skillful
fisher.
Even though he's just a kid,
I still have to be serious.
Where could that San-chan been?
Don't tell me that he's dragged
down into the lake by that Kappa...
Huh? San-chan, so, you're here.
What are you doing here?
Where did the Kappa gone to?
It's not actually a Kappa.
It was Kyoshin-san.
Kyoshin-san? Who is he?
He's a skillful fisher who
rounds all over Japan.
He came to survey about the
condition of Mikazukiko.
That's why he wore his diving
suit and dived into the bottom
of the lake to do some research.
Huh? Why did he need to trouble
himself like that?
Didn't you see him just now?
Just because he also wanted to
get that giant Koi.
Oh, I see.
Now only you start to realize.
That Koi is also my target.
So, I had a deal with Kyoshin-san
to have a competition.
No matter who your opponent is,
San-chan, you'll still surely
win!
He's not simple like you think.
He's a fisher who is to be
readily solved.
Huh? That is?
W-Wait a minute, Kyoshin-san!
How can you be so unreasonable?
Didn't we make a deal to begin
at tomorrow's morning?
Yes. We did had a deal like this.
Didn't you promise to compete
with just and honorable?
But now you're acting so mean!
San-chan!
A mean person like him,
I think you better not compete
with him.
Y-Yuri...
Ha... ha... ha...
I'll definitely not break the
promise between us.
Senpei-kun,
You just calm down and watch
carefully, Senpei-kun.
The fishing spot which I have
chosen,
isn't that far enough from the
passageway of the Koi?
After listening to what you've
said, now I realized.
What we're going to fish is
a 2 meters long giant Koi!
We have to challenge it!
I guess, ordinary settings for
fishing rod is surely unable
to overcome that problem.
That's why you're now testing
the fishing rod and its settings,
am I right?
You're completely correct!
Oh, I see... Ha... ha...
I have never seen this,
but this settings look quite
strong.
I want to try it too.
Wow, a very thick fishing line!
Where did you get those?
It's the type which I used to
fish in the sea.
Oh... So, this is used to roll
the fishing line?
It's called the reel.
So, this is the reel...
That's amazing!
By using that, any fish about
30 catty can be easily hooked
up.
Oh, I can now see that you
have so many secret weapons.
Senpei-kun.
You have your Aiko-nesan's
boat as your secret weapon.
You're right too.
Something got hooked.
Looks like it has a strong
pulling force.
Do you have any problem,
Kyoshin-san?
Ha... ha... ha... At this rate,
my fishing line won't get break
that easy.
Would it be that fish?
Don't worry, Senpei-kun.
No matter how is it, it will
definitely not be that fish.
That's amazing! It's a Koi
about 50 catty!
And you've hooked it up easily.
These tools are great!
Only to talk about the fishing
line,
Even though the pulling force
is so strong,
it didn't effect at all.
Ah! It's up!
Everything is so easy without
too much effort.
No matter it's either the
fishing rod which operate or
the contend with the fish are
If I want to fish that Koi, I
might really need these tools.
That's quite unbelievable...
If it's at other places,
that is already consider as
a very big fish.
But this Mikazukiko doesn't
seem so big,
maybe it's because of that
giant Koi...
Oh ya, Senpei-kun.
Even though this is what I
have in balance,
but do you want to have some
to try?
The length should be about
20 meters and above.
Ah? Is this the one you're now
using?
Okay! My preparation is all
done by now.
All I have to do is to wait
for the sun to rise tomorrow.
Just now Ie heard that you'd
said something about "Dawn'.
What does that mean?
That is the time before the
sun rises...
In the other way round, from
sun set to the night,
we called it 'Dust'.
That is the best time to fish.
Wow... What an abstruse type
of language!
Then, Kyoshin-san.
So, the competition is decided!
Never be regret about it!
That is of course!
Ha... ha... ha...
The sight of professional fisher
is back again!
Of course!
To have seen such incredible
fishing skills,
which idiot wouldn't feel
excited about it?
Ha... ha... ha...
Ha... ha... ha...
San-chan, where are you?
Yippei-Ojisan is here!
Huh? Grandpa is here?
San-chan, you're here.
What are you doing?
Grandpa said that he was some
where near, so, he decided to
drop by.
But...
I can't go back immediately!
Yuri told me everything.
Heard that you would compete
with an amazing fisher!
Because the target it's a
devilish giant wild Koi!
Yet the opponent is not only
an incredible fisher,
he also has very good tools.
Oh, really?
Oh, I see.
When I was young,
There's a bad attitude
skillful fisher called Genpei.
His fishing skills were unique.
Everybody called him the 'Thief
of Koi'.
'Thief of Koi'?
Genpei set his target.
In a rich man house, there
was a pond of Koi.
In that pond, there were many
Koi worth more than a few
hundred thousand.
But Genpei wanted to fish the
biggest one in the pond.
It's called the Golden Koi.
Genpei was very confident with
his own skill.
He didn't intend to fish it
for sale or whatever.
He just wanted to fish it
very much.
But...
Because of the struggle that
made the noise of water splashing,
Genpei also became helpless
at that moment.
Yet, he still went there a
few times.
And had changed all kinds of
tools he used.
Lastly, he finally got it
hooked successfully.
What did he use to fish it?
To fish from other's pond,
so, shouldn't he being called
a 'Thief'?
What I'm asking here the way
he'd used to get it hooked!
At that time, Genpei used the
skin of a tree,
and made it into a tube which
looked like a loud speaker,
he carried that near to the
pond.
When that Koi came by to eat
the bait,
Immediately he inserted the
tube into the water.
And pulled the Koi near him
slowly.
To let it got into that tube,
without any sound.
After the news was spread,
everybody said that's Genpei
'Method of a Thief'.
Oh, I see.
If the Koi get into that tube
which is inserted into the water,
no matter how strong it is,
it will never be able to escape.
Although that way is not
proper at all,
But Genpei's will was persist
and never to be despair.
And his method was really
admirable.
My target is that giant
Koi.
I don't think the similar
settings would work on it!
All right! This can sure work
out!
This can definitely get that
fish on my hooked!
Grandpa, I have convinced about
it.
Yahoo! That's great!
Ha... ha... ha... that Sanpei.
Wonder what kind of method
came through his mind again?!
Kyoshin-san, you just watch
and see.
Tomorrow's competition at dawn.
I'll sure win!
That fish is surely belongs
to me, Sanpei!
(To be continue)
(I'm the talented fisher, Sanpei.)
I'm the talented fisher, Sanpei.
I'm No. 1 in fishing.
I can get the big ones with
my skills and endurance.
Storm wind is nothing to me.
Lonely is nothing to me.
I want to challenge the fish
on earth.
With my wisdom and courage,
I won't lose.
Don't give up, man.
Don't give up, Sanpei.
Let the universe and nature
hug each other.
Just fish the happiness of
tomorrow.
Mikazukiko.
The water quality is clear
and the air is fresh.
Yuri's grandma stays nearby

It's a very beautiful place.

Never mind, I won't lose to
Kyoshin-san.

Aiko-nesan.
Cab you please don't make any
noise?
Ah, yes! Senpei-chan.
Will this be all right?
Yes. This is the way... Just
like this...
Oh! Let's take that!

A passageway?

Don't have to worry about

Okay. Okay.

Hey, San-chan, wake up now!
Oh ya! Yuri, where's that Kappa?
Over there!
Okay!
Here it is. San-chan, look.
There it is.
Isn't that a floating branch
with leaves on it?
It's just underneath that!
There's a black shadow swam

Huh?!
Just exactly like the bubbles
I saw just now.
San-chan, stop searching.
Let's go back.
Huh?! What's going on?
It's that fish!
San-chan, it's a wild Koi.
That's too horrifying!
It's much bigger than what I
saw from the boat!
Over there! Over there!
Look, San-chan...
K... Kappa...
That is...
what I saw when I was in the
bottom of the water!
Huh? Are those footprints
belong to that Kappa?
Is it trying to swim to the
opposite?
Okay! I'll definitely get you
this time!
T-That's the true identity of
that Kappa?
Don't hide over there like a
thief!
Just show yourself! Huh?! That
voice is...
Looks like you've finally knew
it, Senpei-kun.
Huh... Kyoshin-san?!
So, it's you, Kyoshin-san?
I was really too shock!
I never thought that the true
identity of that Kappa is
actually Kyoshin-san.
I should be the one who feel
surprise, Senpei-kun.
Huh?
Never realized that you've

Yet you have found its passageway!
Kyoshin-san, you're so cunning.

Huh? San-chan, so, you're here.
What are you doing here?
Where did the Kappa gone to?
It's not actually a Kappa.
It was Kyoshin-san.
Kyoshin-san? Who is he?
He's a skillful fisher who
rounds all over Japan.
He came to survey about the
condition of Mikazukiko.
That's why he wore his diving
suit and dived into the bottom
of the lake to do some research.
Huh? Why did he need to trouble
himself like that?
Didn't you see him just now?
Just because he also wanted to
get that giant Koi.
Oh, I see.
Now only you start to realize.
That Koi is also my target.
So, I had a deal with Kyoshin-san
to have a competition.
No matter who your opponent is,
San-chan, you'll still surely
win!
He's not simple like you think.
He's a fisher who is to be
readily solved.
Huh? That is?
W-Wait a minute, Kyoshin-san!
How can you be so unreasonable?
Didn't we make a deal to begin
at tomorrow's morning?
Yes. We did had a deal like this.
Didn't you promise to compete
with just and honorable?
But now you're acting so mean!
San-chan!
A mean person like him,
I think you better not compete
with him.
Y-Yuri...
Ha... ha... ha...
I'll definitely not break the
promise between us.
Senpei-kun,
You just calm down and watch
carefully, Senpei-kun.
The fishing spot which I have
chosen,
isn't that far enough from the
passageway of the Koi?
After listening to what you've
said, now I realized.
What we're going to fish is
a 2 meters long giant Koi!
We have to challenge it!
I guess, ordinary settings for
fishing rod is surely unable
to overcome that problem.
That's why you're now testing
the fishing rod and its settings,
am I right?
You're completely correct!
Oh, I see... Ha... ha...
I have never seen this,
but this settings look quite
strong.
I want to try it too.
Wow, a very thick fishing line!
Where did you get those?
It's the type which I used to
fish in the sea.
Oh... So, this is used to roll
the fishing line?
It's called the reel.
So, this is the reel...
That's amazing!
By using that, any fish about
30 catty can be easily hooked
up.
Oh, I can now see that you
have so many secret weapons.
Senpei-kun.
You have your Aiko-nesan's
boat as your secret weapon.
You're right too.
Something got hooked.
Looks like it has a strong
pulling force.
Do you have any problem,
Kyoshin-san?
Ha... ha... ha... At this rate,
my fishing line won't get break
that easy.
Would it be that fish?
Don't worry, Senpei-kun.
No matter how is it, it will
definitely not be that fish.
That's amazing! It's a Koi
about 50 catty!
And you've hooked it up easily.
These tools are great!
Only to talk about the fishing
line,
Even though the pulling force
is so strong,
it didn't effect at all.
Ah! It's up!
Everything is so easy without
too much effort.
No matter it's either the
fishing rod which operate or
the contend with the fish are
If I want to fish that Koi, I
might really need these tools.
That's quite unbelievable...
If it's at other places,
that is already consider as
a very big fish.
But this Mikazukiko doesn't
seem so big,
maybe it's because of that
giant Koi...
Oh ya, Senpei-kun.
Even though this is what I
have in balance,
but do you want to have some
to try?
The length should be about
20 meters and above.
Ah? Is this the one you're now
using?
Okay! My preparation is all
done by now.
All I have to do is to wait
for the sun to rise tomorrow.
Just now Ie heard that you'd
said something about "Dawn'.
What does that mean?
That is the time before the
sun rises...
In the other way round, from
sun set to the night,
we called it 'Dust'.
That is the best time to fish.
Wow... What an abstruse type
of language!
Then, Kyoshin-san.
So, the competition is decided!
Never be regret about it!
That is of course!
Ha... ha... ha...
The sight of professional fisher
is back again!
Of course!
To have seen such incredible
fishing skills,
which idiot wouldn't feel
excited about it?
Ha... ha... ha...
Ha... ha... ha...
San-chan, where are you?
Yippei-Ojisan is here!
Huh? Grandpa is here?
San-chan, you're here.
What are you doing?
Grandpa said that he was some
where near, so, he decided to
drop by.
But...
I can't go back immediately!
Yuri told me everything.
Heard that you would compete
with an amazing fisher!
Because the target it's a
devilish giant wild Koi!
Yet the opponent is not only
an incredible fisher,
he also has very good tools.
Oh, really?
Oh, I see.
When I was young,
There's a bad attitude
skillful fisher called Genpei.
His fishing skills were unique.
Everybody called him the 'Thief
of Koi'.
'Thief of Koi'?
Genpei set his target.
In a rich man house, there
was a pond of Koi.
In that pond, there were many
Koi worth more than a few
hundred thousand.
But Genpei wanted to fish the
biggest one in the pond.
It's called the Golden Koi.
Genpei was very confident with
his own skill.
He didn't intend to fish it
for sale or whatever.
He just wanted to fish it
very much.
But...
Because of the struggle that
made the noise of water splashing,
Genpei also became helpless
at that moment.
Yet, he still went there a
few times.
And had changed all kinds of
tools he used.
Lastly, he finally got it
hooked successfully.
What did he use to fish it?
To fish from other's pond,
so, shouldn't he being called
a 'Thief'?
What I'm asking here the way
he'd used to get it hooked!
At that time, Genpei used the
skin of a tree,
and made it into a tube which
looked like a loud speaker,
he carried that near to the
pond.
When that Koi came by to eat
the bait,
Immediately he inserted the
tube into the water.
And pulled the Koi near him
slowly.
To let it got into that tube,
without any sound.
After the news was spread,
everybody said that's Genpei
'Method of a Thief'.
Oh, I see.
If the Koi get into that tube
which is inserted into the water,
no matter how strong it is,
it will never be able to escape.
Although that way is not
proper at all,
But Genpei's will was persist
and never to be despair.
And his method was really
admirable.
My target is that giant
Koi.
I don't think the similar
settings would work on it!
All right! This can sure work
out!
This can definitely get that
fish on my hooked!
Grandpa, I have convinced about
it.
Yahoo! That's great!
Ha... ha... ha... that Sanpei.
Wonder what kind of method
came through his mind again?!
Kyoshin-san, you just watch
and see.
Tomorrow's competition at dawn.
I'll sure win!
That fish is surely belongs
to me, Sanpei!
(To be continue)
(I'm the talented fisher, Sanpei.)
I'm the talented fisher, Sanpei.
I'm No. 1 in fishing.
I can get the big ones with
my skills and endurance.
Storm wind is nothing to me.
Lonely is nothing to me.
I want to challenge the fish
on earth.
With my wisdom and courage,
I won't lose.
Don't give up, man.
Don't give up, Sanpei.
Let the universe and nature
hug each other.
Just fish the happiness of
tomorrow.
