Mitsuboshi Colors

What do we do?

What do we do?

To be able to protect everyone?

Wait a minute! We're gonna talk it over

Grownups are so busy

So busy

We can't count on them

That's right

This town

We'll help it with Colors Power!

Pin-pin-pinches come suddenly

And so!

And so?

You know!

Gear up?

We have to stay on guard every day

It looks like our chance

Which is it?

I'm not sure!

Go on, think

But you know!

Basically

You don't know until you try

Peace of mind is far away

Is what I hear my heart say

Now be sneaky and bold

And do your best!

What times, what times, are the most fun?

We'll have to investigate more and more

Do grownups have the energy? They don't have energy

Kids have energy!

So leave it all to us!

We'll do our part with Colors Power!

Three-Stars Jump!

It made an emergency landing!

They don't fly very far.

I'll go next.

Because whoever's flies farthest gets to pick their favorite.

Hiya!

Whoa, that one really flew!

No! I lost!

I'm next!

It's all about the wind.

Oh, the wind.

No, Koto-chan! Don't give her hints!

Yah!

Go! You can do it!

Fall!

FALL!

Why did you take it?!

Yui's last place!

Stupid Saito-san!

What do you kids think you're doing?

Okay, I was first. Let me choose.

I don't know what any of this stuff is.

This could be good!

It looks cool!

Nice! I like that one!

Leave something good for me, too!

Rah!

Hey. Don't hit anybody with that.

Is there anything else good in here?

What's this?

A card game?

That's Menko.

Menko?

You lay the cards out on the ground, then you throw one down at them.

And whoever flips over the most cards wins.

I think that's how it's played.

Let's try it!

These cards don't flip over at all!

Okay, my turn.

Did you get all this from Pops?

He said it's all the stuff he played with when he was a kid.

It's so retro.

I knew they wouldn't flip over!

Yeah!

What's so fun about this, anyway?

Dangit, kendama!

This is pretty good.

That's not how kendama works.

Ugh.

Let's pick something else.

Yeah.

I like it.

That's not how kendama works.

What's this?

I know that one!

You have to blow.

Not like that.

You blow into this thing.

I see!

Here goes!

Oh, wait, wait!

Let's see here.

Go!

Oh, are these those supercar erasers?

It won't fly!

Oh, I think this is...

You're doing it AGAIN?!

Come on, let’s stop this already.

Well, whatever. Come on, let’s stop this already.

Well, whatever.

Oh, no!

How do you spin a top again?

What's-so-fun-about-this attack!

"How to spin a top"...

One more time!

I see.

What's-so-fun-about-this return!

Okay.

Kendama!

I told you that's not how kendama works!

Here goes!

You busted it.

Sorry. Reflex.

That's okay! We didn't really get it anyway.

We don't really get any of this stuff.

Did you find anything fun?

Nope!

Nope!

I wonder if Pops was trying to tell us that he didn't have fun as a kid.

Poor Pops.

I guess we'll have to go play with him sometime!

Is that kendama fun?

Yeah, this one was good.

Koto-chan, let me try!

Here.

Oh, yay!

Oh. Not bad. Oh, yay!

Oh. Not bad.

Th-that's just too sad!

The Poor Elephants

Did you guys know about this book?

This elephant story...

It's just zoo sad!

Huh? Is that a joke?

And she likes it.

What happens in it?

There was a war, so they decided to kill the elephants by poisoning their food.

But they have really long noses,

so they smell really well and knew it was poisoned, so they didn't eat it.

And they died of mal-peanut-rition.

Ugh! Stop putting gags in the sad stories!

That didn't make sense.

I'll just read it myself.

It happened during the war.

The people were afraid of what would happen if the cages at the Ueno Zoo broke open in an air raid.

So they had to kill the animals.

Lions, tigers, bears were all given poison and died.

Then it was the elephants' turn.

But the clever elephants smelled the poison in the food and refused to eat it.

The zookeepers had no choice but to stop giving them food and water altogether.

The elephants quickly grew thinner and thinner.

Nevertheless, whenever someone passed by their cage,

they would gather up all their strength to raise their trunks,

performing the tricks that used to earn them food.

Eventually, the elephants starved to death.

They died with their trunks stretched out, still trying to perform their old tricks.

Poor... poor elephants!

It's just too sad!

Let me see.

O-okay...

I know!

Let's go to the zoo right now!

Yeah! I want to go, too!

You want to go, too, right, Kotoha?

The Poor Elephants

I do.

Are you crying?

I'm not crying.

Okay! First we'll stop at my house!

Ameyoko

Kise Fruits

I'm home!

Hello!

Oh, welcome back! And hello, girls.

Be back later!

Goodbye!

Uh, o-okay.

See you later!

What were they even doing here?

Ueno Zoo

Kids through sixth grade get in free?

I knew it would be cheaper because we're kids, but I didn't expect THIS.

When I came here on that field trip, I didn't realize it was free.

This must mean...

The animals aren't getting any food! I just know it!

That's terrible!

We are the peacekeepers of this town!

Colors!

Our mission is to make sure the animals are alive and well!

Right!

Do we really get in free?

Three children, please!

Yes, go right on in.

Okay, we're on our way, pitiful elephants!

Piti-phants for short!

Don't shorten it!

They have pandas!
