Hinokio: Inter Galactic Love (Hinokio)

Family's too late!

- Flatline. - Tried how long?

55 minutes.

Pronounced dead at 05:27 A.M.

All rise!

Bow.

Good morning!

Good morning.

Be seated!

Today, I'll introduce you all to a new friend.

This class has been 24 members, but from now we'll be 25.

"Grade 6 Class 2"

Come in.

This is Iwamoto, Satoru.

Probably you're all aware that recently,

when for some reason a student is unable to attend class,

robot substitutes are being tried.

This school has agreed to accept...

Iwamoto as the first case.

Iwamoto,

say hello to everyone.

PLEASED TO MEET YOU.

Pleased to meet you.

I'm Iwamoto.

- He talked! - Amazing!

Teacher...

Yes, Onodera.

Does this robot move of its own free will?

No. Iwamoto the boy controls it.

Fuel supply?

Electricity.

What's your body made of?

Titanium alloy, plastic,

and also, to reduce weight,

wood of the hinoki cypress.

Hinoki?!

So, you're "Hinokio"!

What?

Not "Pinocchio," but "Hinokio."

"Hinokio"?

Ah, Hinokio!

He's Hinokio!

Okay, quiet please! No more time for questions.

And Iwamoto's seat will be...

Teacher! It's empty beside Jun.

Okay, you can sit in that seat.

Everyone please make him welcome.

First class is in the music room, don't be late.

Yes.

Hey, why take the trouble to have a robot attend school?

Why do you attend school?

Who knows?!

I don't know why, either.

Where were you made?

Overlord Electronics.

What's that?!

They make personal care and nurse robots.

Obey the Three Laws of Robotics?

- Can you fly? - You ' rocket-punch'?

That's enough. You shouldn't all ask at once.

Time to change rooms.

Knows the music room?

No way, he just transferred.

He's going himself.

He's programmed.

We're late!

We got him!

I'm Kudo, Jun. Don't forget it!

I'm Joichi.

I'm Kenta.

What happened?

Hurry, class will be starting!

Hinokio, if you can't play the flute, try that.

Do it!

Hey, any interesting new games?

Well, you heard about "Purgatory"?

The Net role-play game that starts suddenly while gaming?

Right!

Seems there's an entrance to it in the game "Cybercity," but I can't find one.

Sounds great! Maybe I'll look for it too.

Shh! Be quiet!

Ouch! That hurts!

Hey, that's no fun.

What? What happened?

No one is home at the moment. Please leave a message.

Satoru, how was school? Nervous after being away so long?

How's the 603 doing?

You're brilliant with that stuff, so I'm not worried.

Let me know if there's any problem.

Satoru...

Anyway, just keep on trying!

Don't give up, even if things happen that you don't like.

Seems there's an entrance to it in the game "Cybercity,"but I can't find one.

Satoru April 13, 1998 Father

Welcome to Purgatory.

You have died.

Now, your soul has left your body,

and you are approaching Purgatory.

I'm home.

Get my phone message?

I got sweets. Eat them with me?

Satoru?

I'll be waiting in the kitchen. Come out.

Found 'Spirit Flute.'

Took 'Spirit Flute.'

Satoru played 'Spirit Flute.'

Thank you, Satoru. I am Eri.

Your flute playing has lifted the curse.

Satoru, how was school? Nervous after being away...

- Wow! - Amazing!

All are correct!

Thanks, Iwamoto.

Okay, who'll solve the next one?

- Here! - Right, Kosaka.

Correct. Return to your seat.

And who'll solve the next?

- Here! - Here.

Yes, Onodera.

Come to the shrine after school!

- We got him! - Yeah!

Oh! Smoke's coming out!

Not even waterproof! Hah!

Don't be so stuck-up from now on.

Let's go!

Didn't think it'd be so easy.

Really!

If we tighten this, it should work...

- Kenta, plug it in. - Okay.

Here goes.

It's working, we did it.

Picture's no good.

Dr. Nonomura, inventor of earthquake prediction, resigned...

Maybe here for revenge?

He said a large-scale earthquake will occur very soon...

but the Earthquake Prediction Association firmly rejects this...

Thank you, Hinokio.

Your flute playing lifted the curse!

Hinokio, from today you're one of us!

What are you doing?

Hey... this belongs to Jun.

Did you steal it?

That's terrible.

Ahh!

What should we do?

Find something!

Nothing...

Empty!

Guess it's broken.

Your request won't be answered. You're going to Hell!

Your endless cycle of life has been broken.

You will suffer here forever.

That is your fate.

"Running out of jelly, frozen foods!"

Satoru, if you want to say something, can't you talk to me directly?

It's tough, but you have to keep trying to recover.

Satoru, I know that you can hear me.

Let's start homeroom.

- Here! - Yes, Kosaka.

Yesterday Hirai's group bullied Hinokio, I mean Iwamoto.

That is a problem!

Iwamoto, is that true?

Hirai, please stand.

Hosono and Jun were also involved.

Hosono, Kudo, please stand.

Why did you do that?

I don't know...

Stop lying!

I saw it happen.

I don't know what we did that can be called "bullying."

I see. Iwamoto, did these three do something bad to you?

Tell everything.

Iwamoto?

Not really...

Told you so! See!

Even you lie?! After I told about it for your sake!

Hey, Sumire, you got a crush on Hinokio?

Be quiet!

Be quiet!

All right, all four of you sit down.

Everyone, Iwamoto's making a real effort to attend class,

so don't do anything that discourages him.

Iwamoto, if you have any trouble,

no matter how small, tell me about it.

You understand?

Yes.

All of you understand?

Yes.

Fine. On Monday of the week after next,

we'll have a retest in Japanese and math.

What!

You still have time, so make sure you study.

Those with low marks will have detention.

What?!

Come with us.

Why didn't you tell about yesterday?

You don't think you were bullied?

Ah, tacks are still in!

Doesn't it hurt?

I have no such sensation.
