Urutora Q (1965–1967): Season 1, Episode 7 - SOS Fuji-san - full transcript

In the world of Ultra Q; the very fabric of nature is warped into a state of unbalance; and all manner of strange phenomenon and unearthly creatures threaten the very future of mankind!

ULTRA Q

I can't believe it, Yuri-chan.

It's unbelievable to me.

That Mt. Fuji is going to erupt.

But the temperature of Lake Kawaguchi
and Lake Motosu's water suddenly rose.

Plus, if the ice deep
inside Yazawa Cave is melting,

it's proof the terrestrial heat rose.

But look, there isn't
any smoke coming out of Mt. Fuji.

Hayakawa-san of the
volcano lab we're about to visit

knows Mt. Fuji better than his own body.

However, it's not like the official alarms
went off at the volcano lab and--



Yuriko Edogawa of the Mainichi Shimpo is
known for having great instinct too.

But it's unbelievable
that Mt. Fuji would erupt.

S.0.S. MOUNT FUJI

I he Hoer era eruption being its last,

Mt. Fuji has been an inactive volcano
asleep for over 250 years.

Two hundred fifty years.

Two hundred fifty years.

Two hundred fifty years...

Wait a minute.

If you look at Mt. Fuji's
millennial history,

wouldn't a mere 250 years
be a short nap?

In addition, this year...

The terrestrial heat near the crater is
higher than usual, so we're a bit worried.

But you can see Mt. Fuji
is covered in snow,



so wouldn't the peak be a world of ice?

Oh, what I'm talking about is
inside of Mt. Fuji.

Please look at this.

This is the Fuji volcanic belt.

It's been very active lately and
explosive eruptions are moving north.

The mass eruption of Suijin-sho
two months ago

led to the eruption of a submarine
volcano 20 km off the Hachijo shores.

And this Mt. Mihara of Oshima.

As you know, it has been
erupting repeatedly.

If the volcanic activity continues to
move north, Mt. Fuji will be next.

Mt. Fuji's gone!

Darn it!

Tsk!

-This ticks me off!
-There goes all my allowance.

-We gotta make it lighter.
-This wasn't what I imagined.

What broke?

It failed again.

Hey!

I told you not to play with fire!
What if you all get hurt!

-What is he doing?
-What's he saying?

-Oh, run!
-It's the policeman!

Bring the base!

Hup!

Gosh, I'm out of luck,
Hayakawa-san.

Those Yoshino villagers don't
take me seriously.

Well, that's my fault,
because of my usual lies.

As soon as I said that Mt. Fuji
might erupt, they started laughing.

Well, I hope it's only
a laughing matter.

Yoshino's pond, which was known
for its ice cold water until now

is as warm as a hot spring.

About that, there was a similar
incident 80 years ago too.

But nothing unusual happened.

The grandpa with the
persimmon tree said so.

There's no records of that,
Yokoyama-san.

But still.

It's what the elderly says,
so it could be...

And what did you do with Takeru?

Oh, that Tarzan?

As you know already,
that guy is extremely fast.

On top of it, the forest is
his home ground.

Yokoyama-san, so the warning hasn't
gotten across to the village or Takeru?

Yes... it's because I'm not
usually trusted by everyone.

Huh?

I'm no good.

-Yuri-chan, come, come.
-Hm?

My nose known for great instinct
smells a story.

What's that about?

The Tarzan of the forest.
Who is this Takeru?

I think this story is better than some
phony Mt. Fuji eruption theory.

Yeah.

I don't have any evidence that man
is my younger brother, Takeru.

But I can't help thinking it's true.

And that's why I started
working here near the forest.

I heard it was an incident
about 15 years ago.

Yes.

That was when my father was still well,

we went hiking towards the inner garden.

Takeru who liked insects went missing
while chasing after a butterfly.

We had the police
and firemen search,

but inside a forest with no roads,
they never found him.

He was only four.

My, he was that young?

The first time Takeru appeared before us

was when some hunters hunted down
a large bear called the King.

When the hunters were about to return with
the bear, a young man stood in their way.

Awesome!

He took down five men
as if they were children.

He carried King's body.

Then disappeared into the forest in tears.

Oh! He's here!

Takeru! Wait!

Wait a second!

Takeru's so fast.

If Takeru and Abebe raced,
I wonder who'll win?

Of course Takeru will win!

See, we should've had him
enter the Olympics.

Hey! Wait!

Wait up!

Takeru! Wait!

Whoa!

Mt. Fuji has become active.

Recently, Technical Officer Hayakawa's

Mt. Fuji eruption theory
has been gaining attention.

And today around 2 p.m., from the
pond of Yoshino near Mt. Fuji,

an enormous stone suddenly
shot out along with hot water...

Even that stubborn Ippei-kun's staying to
watch Mt. Fuji after yesterday's incident.

But I still can't believe it.

How the bottom of that beautiful
snow-masked Mt. Fuji is boiling up.

As long as you're here, we've got this.

We have mobility, so we won't
lose to other companies.

Oh, is that it? The huge stone that
sprung from the pond of Yoshino?

Um, this area?
Oh, it's fine. It's fine.

Hurry, go.

Hey, 30 seconds 'til!

Okay, 30 seconds 'til!

Okay, 20 seconds 'til!

Okay, 20 seconds 'til!

You moron! Who said to do it! You!

Ow, ow, ow!

That was close.
I was about to get hit.

Watch it!

Crap!

-I'm sorry for the wait.
-No, thank you.

I'll try going to the forest.

If I talk to him,
I'm sure Takeru will understand.

Yes, that would help very much.

At any case, even a small eruption

can melt the snow and cause
an avalanche down to the bottom.

Well, Takeru isn't your young brother
for sure yet, but...

No, even if he's not my real brother,
that's not the problem anymore.

I can't help believing in it.

That's right.
We'll do our best to help too!

Right, Yuri-chan?

Right, Senpai?

Takeru!

Oh, what's that?

Takeru.

Takeru!

I'll let you out right now!

Hup!

Hup!

Hup!

Just a little more.
Hang in there, Officer Yokoyama!

Run!

Hurry! Hurry!

Hurry! Hurry!

Takeru, you okay?

Thank you.

What?

You don't need to thank me.

This is the first time
you spoke to me, huh?

Let's find another way.
That's impossible. Hey.

Yeah, this is where you stay calm.

The first step is to check
all your belongings.

This is where a brilliant idea like a
hairpin saving a falling airplane pops up.

Agh, I'm never any good.

Hey Jun-chan, this is scary.

What if Mt. Fuji erupts
while we're here like this?

Yeah.

But if he's not budging from there...

Can't we get out another way?

A compass won't even work in this forest.
If we get lost we're doomed.

It opened!

Hurry! Hurry!

Out we go!

Takeru-kun.

The forest is dangerous right now.

Mt. Fuji go boom!

So come with me. Please?

Hey, Takeru-kun!

I'm no good.

Run!

Hurry! Hurry and run!

Oh! Takeru!

Hurry! Hurry!

Takeru-kun, run!

Hey, Takeru!

Takeru!

-Takeru!
-It's dangerous!

Don't worry, Takeru's the king
of this forest. He'll win.

The cold eruptions have started.

Takeru!

-Watch out!
-Watch out!

It's unsafe here! Hurry!

If it were Takeru, he'd know a shortcut.

Well, let's stay calm.

This is where you stay calm
and check all your belongings.

And...

Oh! It's an avalanche!

Hey!

Takeru!

Sis...

Takeru...

This way!

C'mon.

Wow...

Hey, I'm sorry, but make way.

-Excuse me, please move.
-Hey, hey. Get back!

Look this way! Here!

Please stop.

Don't push, c'mon!

No, no!
A hero needs to look more bold!

Okay.

Hey, it flew! It flew!

It flew!

THE END
