His and Her Circumstances (1998–1999): Season 1, Episode 10 - ACT 10.0 Subete wa kore kara - full transcript

Since I was little, I was always the center of attention in class.
I was good at studying and sports.
I was confident.

I was usually first at everything.

Amazing, Miyazawa!
You're the best in the class!

You're really something!

And you're so good at studying too...

Miyazawa Yukino, whom I met
in high school, easily surpassed me...

...and immediately captured the other girls' attention.

The girls in class hate me...

Shibahime hates me...

The Ostracization Index has really taken off lately.

But I stuck it out.



Iwata... Ishida... Ezumi...

What? You can't even solve this problem?

Come on now.

Splendid, as always.

Try to learn from Miyazawa's example, everyone.

Luckily, my past daily efforts have made
me strong enough to stand on my own...

...instead of having to become
servile for need of their friendship.

Miyazawa...

Yes?

Well...there's something that's been bothering me.

It felt like the atmosphere in the classroom
just now was somehow strange.

If it's not just my imagination,
is something going on?

Has my calling you to the Student Guidance Room...

...somehow made things uncomfortable for you?



I'm fine.

Things actually aren't going as smoothly
with the other girls as they could be...

...but it's not because of that.

But isn't that rather difficult for you? I could...

I'll be all right. If I can't deal
with something like this myself...

...I won't be able to succeed out in the real world.

I'm fine.

She's strong.

Although it saddens me as a teacher
that I'm not depended upon...

To be sure...

...I don't plan on resigning myself
to the present state of things.

First of all, I don't like the idea of hurting
people through ignoring them as a group.

I don't like it at all.

If I don't like it, I would never give in...
...and that's why I don't want to ask anyone for help.

Oh, Arima, you surprised me. What's up?

Something seemed wrong, just now.

Miyazawa, are you having a
problem with the other girls?

What? Um, well...

Well, maybe the girls
are ignoring me a little.

What?! What's this all about?

Well...
you know...

Why didn't you tell me?!

I haven't heard a thing about it!

Where are you going ?

I'm going to have a word with
the girls and make them stop.

Hey, that's none of your business!

None of my business?!

There's no point in that.

One of the reasons they don't
like me is because we're friends.

You would only make things worse.

What?

This is my problem.

Butt out.

That's ridiculous.

It's not ridiculous!
Anyways, you don't have to do anything.

Just stay out of it.

This is unusual.

You guys fighting or something?

He's seriously pissed.

He's hopeless.

Of course, I probably shouldn't
have put it that way either...

Oh, I know! Miyazawa,
I'll show you something cool.

It's my treasure!

What?

This is SO cute!
Check it out.

Hey, you moron!

Ooohh...

Cute, isn't it?

Hideaki!

I gave it to you because you said
you'd treasure it and never show anyone!

I'm never trusting you again!

Men...

I want this.

No, you can't!

No no no no! That's MY treasure! Gross!

That's disgusting!

How can you use a dirty trick like that?

My treasure...

Hey, what's wrong with that?

She put it there...

Where any guy dumb enough to reach for
it would get kicked out of school.

In return, I'll give you an adorable
picture of me when I was little.

Oh yeah?

Well, I've got one, too!

Say, are you still mad about that?

It's not that I don't count on you.

I just want to solve this one myself.

I think it's something I have to do myself.

No, I was wrong.

I shouldn't have gotten mad.

After all, you're the one who's having trouble.

Do whatever you feel is right.

I'll always be on your side.

And I'm not going anywhere, no matter what.

Thanks. By the way, are you doing okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

The captain of the kendo club looks after me...

...and he has a lot of pull with
the other sports club captains.

So with a backbone like that,

none of the other guys would do anything to me.

Guys are weird...

Hiiyyyyaa!

Nice kick.

But you can't take me down yet.

Shut up!

Mind your own business!

Their street fight just keeps going and going.

Yeah. Tsubasa's moves are getting
more sophisticated every day.

But Miyazawa must also have some hidden
talent if she can consistently dodge like that.

Hey, you two, we're thirsty!

Let's go get some juice at the cafeteria!

Miyazawa, come with us.

What? Me?

Sure, come on.

Hey, what do you think you're doing ?

I hope you haven't forgotten why we're fighting!

You're street fighting, right?

To see who comes out on top.

Right?

I thought you'd be harder to approach, Miyazawa.

But once I actually started talking
to you, I felt more at ease.

Yeah.

This is how I really am.

I was making myself up that way.

I wanted to make myself look good...

Or maybe to be seen as being good.

Do you know... I get a thrill when someone praises me.

R...really ?

So I was just making myself up the whole time.

But a lifestyle where you worry about
what other people think of you is pretty stupid.

In fact, I didn't have a single friend.

I realized that when I met Arima.

So I decided to stop that kind of thing.

No friends...?

I've noticed that you're always alone lately,

but could it be...

Yeah, stuff happened.

That must be pretty tough.

It can't be helped. I'm reaping what I sowed.

The least I can do is take responsibility.

Augh! I hate that kind of thing!

Group harassment gets on my nerves!

There goes the straightforward
mentality stereotypical of athletic types.

I gotcha. From now on you're "Yukinon."

Huh ?

As of today, you're our friend,
part of our group. Okay, Yukinon?

Well um..."Yukinon..."

I'm Sakura Tsubaki,

the hope of the girls' volleyball club.

This is Sena Rika. She's really dexterous

and very feminine.

And this is Sawada Aya. She's very artsy and

can dispassionately hit people's weak spots.

Nice to meet you.

Thanks. But...um...

Do whatever you want.

I'll fight by myself.

So she'll act on her own.

Now we've got a powerful ally
when it comes to test-time!

Hooray!

Hey, Yukinon.

Come on, can't it just be "Yukino."

Was Miyazawa friends with girls from 1-D?

Isn't that Sakura Tsubaki?

Their class is in a different building,
so I don't know her too well...

...but she's pretty popular
among the girls over there.

Miyazawa really does stand out...

I told you that's how she does it!

Don't you get it yet?!

Every time...
It's always Miyazawa who gets it all.

Why?! She's such a lying ...

But there's something...

What is it, Sawada?

They're making such a unified front
you can't do a single thing about it, right?

To be that organized, there's got to be a ringleader.

Someone smart, who's good at manipulating the class.

A ringleader...

What? Now that this class has
nothing to do with you...

...you're hanging out with girls from other classes?

You're always so good at it.

It's easy for you to deceive people, isn't it?

I'd like to know how you did it this time.

The ringleader.

I haven't done anything, really.

Really? That's a switch. You're
not going to play innocent anymore?

This is the ringleader. If I lose here,

nothing's ever going to get solved.

What a waste!

You were so good at deceiving people.

You were having a great time, weren't you?

You don't have to hold back just because we all know.

You should keep it up.

M...Maho...

Come on.

I can see why you don't like me.

It's true that I'd been cheating like that.

It was inexcusable.

I can't blame you.

But then,

why do you try to become superior
by getting people on your side?

I may have used a dirty trick, but so are you.

If you don't like me,
you should just say it to my face.

Can't you even express your opinions face to face?

I was at fault,

but I'm not a big enough sucker
to let things go this far.

You feel confident, don't you?
With the whole class on your side,
I bet you think you've won.

Well, good for you. Happy now ?

You should have done that in the first place.

Maho!

I couldn't win either with academics or running...

Maho, you're all subdued these days.

It's not like you.

Yeah, you gotta do things with style.

No. It's no use anymore.

No matter what I do, I can't win.

This hopeless feeling of defeat...

I'm the only one allowed

to pick on Miyazawa.

Stay out of my way.

I can't be totally ruthless if I feel I have to hold back.

No one could understand.

Nobody can understand a thing!

It's so boring these days.

I never thought I'd be using the
ignoring treatment in high school.

Yeah...

After seeing that faceoff between
Miyazawa and Maho yesterday...

It makes me not want to be
caught up in this mess anymore.

It's all just because

Maho doesn't like Miyazawa.

Say, don't you think something's weird?

What?

I mean, with that faceoff yesterday.

It's true that Miyazawa

had been playing innocent and fooling us...

...but I can't see her as someone
making herself look elegant...

...just to hit on guys, Like Maho said.

What?

But her attitude changed...

...after she got to know Arima and Asaba.

That's true. But think about it...

...Maho said that we started seeing cracks
because she hooked up with a hunk.

But I wonder,

would someone as smart as

she is really make such a careless mistake?

Now that you mention it...

That may be true.

Miyazawa WAS smart;

she was really thorough in her act.

Losing it just because of a guy...

Doesn't make much sense.

Come to think of it...

...didn't she admit that she had been
playing innocent in yesterday's argument?

Could it be that she had quit the acting on her own?

Then what was that "hitting on guys" about, then?

Why would Maho lie like that?

You could think of it this way.

Maho wanted to crush Miyazawa.

There's only one way to trap her
and exclude her from class.

All the girls in class are jealous
of how Miyazawa is friends
with Arima and Asaba.

If she used that...

Ah...

Maho, we don't know why you

want to crush Miyazawa so badly...

...but we can't forgive how you used us.

We can't trust you anymore.

We don't want things to get any more stupid,
so we're not going to ignore you or anything.

But

nobody's going to do what you say anymore.

If you want it that badly, do it yourself.

That's our opinion.

M...Maho!

You three better get going, too.

This is it for me. Nothing good
will come of being with me anymore.

Um, well then...

Sorry.

I never thought any of it would work.

I knew this would happen from the start.

There was a time when I was the center of attention...

...and I could believe

I was better than others.

But that was nothing but
the conceited thoughts of someone

Living in a small world.

I found out for the first time that there
are any number of people better than me...

...after I met Miyazawa.

There's nothing more miserable
than having someone better than you occupy
the position where you used to stand.

I didn't even want to look at her.

But my mind was always occupied
with thoughts of Miyazawa...

My eyes would unconsciously
follow wherever she went.

My obsession with Miyazawa

was almost like intense love.

That's why I think I was the only one who noticed it.

It was all an act!

How could any of them
understand my mortification?

She took everything from me.

She even obtains love, and now
she tries to become honest?

I'll crush you, too
just like I'm being crushed!

But that's all over now.

I have to stop being
so foolishly obstinate.

Ah, what nice weather.

The summer sun sure is bright.

Yesterday was a big mistake.

I let my full fighting instincts take control.

Oh well, it made me feel better.

He's so cute!

Besides, I've got this now.

As long as I've got this,

my heart will be as clear as the blue skies of May.

Where'd you come from ?!

*Stare.*

No, you can't have this.

Besides, I put it in my mouth
and in my bra once already.

.

What's with her?

Well, I don't hate her.

I hope we can be friends.

Hey, Shibahime.

Arima.

You doing okay?

You haven't done anything mean to
Miyazawa since then, have you?

Try to get along with her.

She's the girl I love.

Huh?

What's wrong?

My train pass holder's gone. It's not in my bag.

Did I leave it in class ?

Maybe you dropped it?

WHAT'LL I DO?!

W...what?

So what's the matter?

I have your picture in there.

Man, I was determined never to lose
it because it would be so embarassing.

I don't have time to be doing this.

I'll go look for it.

This is weird, I just had it. Maybe in the hall...?

Maybe when I was talking to Shibahime...

It couldn't be...

Over there is...

...the incinerator.

She wouldn't, even if she hates me.

Got it? When we see Miyazawa,

we're all going to say we're sorry as a group.

She'll forgive us if we apologize, won't she?

Oh, Miyazawa.

HOLD IT!

Ow!

You made me mad!

You really pissed me off!

I'll show you just how scary
it can be when I'm mad!

Even if I don't have friends anymore,

I feel all the more free.

Quit scurrying around!
YELL! SCREAM! CRY OUT IN TERROR!

Tsubaki! Rika, Aya, s...save me!

Save you ? From what ?

I don't want to be involved...

You did something stupid again, didn't you?

Maybe it'll be good for you
to seriously get it for once.

You traitors!

There's no help for the wicked.

How foolish.
Think you can get away?

That doesn't make it alright!

What's all the racket down there?

My train pass isn't here...

Hey, isn't that Miyazawa?

That was a pretty vicious thing to do.

You always picked a fight with me one on one.

I thought you were different from the others.

But I guess I was wrong. You're the worst.

Miyazawa...

I know you like Arima,

so I thought you couldn't help hating me.

Huh?

But if you would go this far,

why don't you just tell him already?!

You can't even do that!

You're just a coward!

I did try to tell him!

But he never even noticed!

The first time was in seventh
grade on Valentine's Day. Arima!

Oh, Shibahime.

Shibahime, you like sweet stuff.

I don't like chocolate, so you can have it all.

In eighth grade, at the Athletics Festival...

*I'll be waiting at the front gate. Tsubasa.*

Shibahime, great timing! Come with me!

Thanks goodness.

The beanbags from the beanbag toss got scattered...

...and I needed extra hands to clean up.

So, what did you want?

So insensitive...

I really had no idea about those things...

On our ninth grade field trip, too.

Arima...

Shibahime, get the barf bag quick!

Get some newspaper!

But even so, he never accepted anyone's love,
so I thought he just didn't want to date!

So I didn't mind not being noticed
as long as I could be special,
even if I were treated as a little sister!

I studied 13 hours a day to get into this school
so I could be with him as much as possible!

So why?!

Why'd he have to get a girlfriend
right after starting high school?!

It was so frustrating!

I can't help hating you

I wanted to be you.

To be noticed, to be cared about,
to be the most important person
in the world to him!

I envied you!

I couldn't help being jealous!

He never notices me...

I'm sorry.

From that day onward,
things took a turn for the better.

We're sorry.

For some reason the girls in class all apologized,
*Don't make such a big deal, I'm fine...*

and I was accepted back into the class.

But I wonder why they seemed kind of afraid of me.

She's scary when she snaps.

Thank God she didn't get mad at us.

Better yet, I made my first real friends.

Hey, Tsubasa...

Yes!

You...
You actually like Miyazawa a lot, don't you?

Not a chance!

What, are you going to pity me?

If you don't mind your own business,
I'll punch you out.

Well, I was going to pity you.

Your tactics need some work.

You couldn't hide the fact
that you were the ringleader.

When you entrap someone,
you have to be more devious about it.

I'm sure I could do a much better job.

You're a REAL pain!

Before we knew it,

summer vacation was almost upon us.

That long first semester

was about to be over.

What'll happen next!

The girls stopped ignoring Sis and

she made up with everyone in class.

And the really long,

Roller-coaster first semester was finally coming to a close

The time for her debut
into the world of friends has come at last!

Next time on KareKano:

"At the Beginning of Summer Vacation."
