Mr.Mikami's Classroom (2025) s01e03 Episode Script
Episode 3
1
《（Shibuya）Ah, I'm sorry.》
(Mikami) That day,
you used a homemade bomb
and were planning a suicide bombing
involving everyone around you.
However, the bomb failed to detonate.
So you switched your plan
and the moment Shibuya Yusuke stood up,
whom you had been targeting,
you approached him from behind
《Ugh》
and stabbed him in the back.
《Uwaah! Uwaah!》
The knife you prepared slipped past the ribs and reached his heart,
The knife you prepared slipped past the ribs and reached his heart,
and he died a few minutes later.
I won't say what you did has no meaning.
But it's also true that "society," as it's called, hasn't changed by even a millimeter.
Or perhaps it has changed a little.
Because you are a young and beautiful woman,
you have a fan club on the outside.
It's humiliating, I understand. But it's the truth.
And that's society, isn't it?
The shallow and thoughtless society you wanted to change.
(Yuzuru) Shut up.
Even if you stick an umbrella
into a plastic bag on the subway,
or crash a plane into a building and thousands of people die,
the world doesn't change by a millimeter.
the world doesn't change by a millimeter.
So why did you think you could change society
by just killing one person?
Don't lump me in with those people.
Even they
had their own sense of justice.
Beyond that,
they believed there was a wonderful world. How are you different?
Can you explain it logically?
I
(Guard) Time's up.
Don't misunderstand.
I didn't come here to judge you.
I know that your battle was lonely.
I know that your battle was lonely.
Maybe I know.
Go home.
You'll never be able to forget it.
The face of the person you killed.
I'll come again.
Uwaah!
What's wrong?
(Yuzuru) Uwaah! Uwaah!
(Koreeda) Good morning!
(Students) Good morning!
(Koreeda) Good morning!
(Students) Good morning!
Mikami-sensei is taking a half-day today, so I'll be in charge of homeroom.
Eh?
(Fuyuki) Sensei, Kanzaki, what did you do?
I haven't heard the story from him yet, so today here
(Sakurai) Why is the school leaving this situation unaddressed?
Regarding the reporters, we are strongly protesting.
That's not it. It's about Mikami-sensei.
I can't accept this.
I can't accept this.
We're being messed with, and we're supposed to concentrate?
(Oguri) It's okay, Sakurai.
But
Everyone is saying things behind your back,
pushing all the thankless tasks
onto Sakurai.
Isn't that unfair?
Sakurai, sit down.
I want to go to art college, you know.
I want to go to art college, you know.
Before I play the violin, I shut out all the noise.
I need pure, high-quality concentration.
I think all of us are in that moment right now.
Well
It's true that when you go out into the world,
it's full of noise,
but to tell us to do that now
is violent, I think.
I think you're right.
Yes.
I'll tell Mikami-sensei.
So please wait.
(Kanzaki) Sensei.
(Yuko) I told you not to come anymore.
The media found out about the relationship between Yuzuru-san and Sensei.
Eh?
Eh?
And that Sensei taught at Rintoku, too.
Maybe that place too.
I'm going to tell you an address now.
Come there in an hour.
Is that okay?
Or should we talk at a family restaurant?
That's impossible, right?
That's impossible, right?
(Mizobata) What happened, Mikami-sensei?
Kanzaki-kun confronted the chairman
about why the person who quit was a female teacher.
On top of that, he's disappeared.
No contact either?
No.
(Mizobata) You didn't instigate him, did you, Mikami-sensei?
I have no memory of doing so.
I don't need any Kasumigaseki literature.
Anyway, if you come to school, please talk to me properly.
Anyway, if you come to school, please talk to me properly.
Understood.
Is it true that you refused the assignment to Rintoku Seminar?
I didn't think I had the qualifications to teach, even if it was a cram school.
But Tsutsui-sensei was teaching normally.
But Tsutsui-sensei was teaching normally.
If someone can do that, they should do it.
But Sensei couldn't do that.
I thought I should cut ties
with the name "Rintoku."
So something happened that made you think that way, right?
So something happened that made you think that way, right?
Listen, Kanzaki-kun,
you should really stop.
I can't do that.
You still have a long life ahead of you.
That's why.
Precisely because it's long,
you need to think about it properly now.
you need to think about it properly now.
The meaning of what you did.
If you don't know,
Was the affair
something you wanted to do?
Wasn't there some reason?
My husband was violent, and I had nowhere else to go.
That's all there is to it.
That's a lie.
Go home.
Please answer me.
Go home.
Please answer me.
If you published a wrong article, you have an obligation to correct it.
It's not wrong. That's why there's no need to correct it.
I understand Oguri-san's opinion.
However, it's irresponsible to promise students such concentration right now.
But it's more dangerous
to pretend that incident didn't happen.
Especially for Kanzaki-kun.
You know why, don't you?
Because it's a matter of life and death.
Are you afraid that Kanzaki-kun will be the next victim?
Are you afraid that Kanzaki-kun will be the next victim?
I'm ashamed of my lack of imagination.
Even I'm like this,
I can only imagine how Kanzaki-kun must feel.
Of course, he must be deeply hurt.
But the more we postpone it,
the deeper the wound will become.
That's why it's necessary to find it out for himself.
What he's struggling with.
Both the question and the answer
are only inside of him.
(Makino) A gossip magazine reporter sent this -
It seems the students in Mikami's class
are sniffing around that female teacher -
and asked if it was okay to publish it -
and asked if it was okay to publish it -
His father is a political reporter for the Toto Shimbun, you know.
(Tsukada) That's right. That guy is hard to deal with if you make him an enemy.
Should we stop it?
Yes, we should.
Okay.
(Classroom goes silent)
Kanzaki, don't you have anything to say?
I'll answer if you have anything you want to ask.
What's with that condescending attitude?
(Jigen) Come on, come on, Fuyuki -
Kanzaki said that if you have anything you want to ask,
Kanzaki said that if you have anything you want to ask,
he'll answer anything, so just ask normally.
(Jigen) Right? Kanzaki?
(Kurayoshi) I want to ask.
Ah
It's okay. Go on.
Then, Kurayoshi.
Kanzaki,
Kanzaki
You said you'd figure out the identity of the vulture,
Does that mean you're directly confronting the chairman?
Yeah.
Hey, um
Fuyuki, it's my turn now.
What did Kanzaki ask, and how did the chairman answer?
I asked why Saejima-sensei
I asked why Saejima-sensei was forced to quit.
He said she quit on her own.
And Kanzaki thought that sounded like a lie.
That's right.
Hey, um I said it's my turn now, right?
What's the basis?
(Kanzaki) Under investigation.
(Kurayoshi) I see.
(Kurayoshi) I understand.
(Kurayoshi) I understand.
I've always been concerned
about why only Saejima-sensei was forced to quit.
So, I'll keep thinking about it myself,
and I'll trust Kanzaki and wait.
Ah, um
Turn end.
Is there anyone else who has an opinion?
Then, shall we start class?
Um, today is page 67.
Okay, here's the translation of the provided Japanese text into English:
This is the kind of problem where you'll get burned if you go in with a predetermined answer.
That's the kind of problem it is
(Chime)
Well then, class is dismissed.
(Students) Thank you very much.
Sensei, why don't you stop us from going off on tangents during class?
Tangents?
Because Kurayoshi
(Tominaga) Hey, why don't you ask Kurayoshi that?
I'm not saying Kurayoshi is bad, so Kurayoshi has nothing to do with it.
I'm a returnee from overseas, you know.
Eh? What does that have to do with it?
In America, you're often forced to express your opinion in class and everything else.
High school students
High school students also have debate classes.
That's not what I'm talking about,
First listen to me.
You're taught that it's important to listen to the end properly in a discussion.
I kept saying things like that even after returning to Japan.
But that's no good, is it?
You have to keep what you want to say inside,
or you'll be hated for being someone who can't read the air.
or you'll be hated for being someone who can't read the air.
I've realized that this country is a country of true feelings and official stances.
I've been made aware of it.
And I've become very scared.
(Shinonome) Kurayoshi was thinking like that?
I didn't know.
That's why,
the more important something is to me,
the more I've developed a habit of swallowing it down -
I hate that about myself.
I hate that about myself.
But
I wanted to hear
what Kanzaki had to say.
It's fine.
Do what you want.
Sakurai
(Speaking in English)
(Tominaga) What's with that exchange?
So cute.
So cute.
(Kagawa) Kurayoshi, I've wanted to try that debate
for a while, so teach me.
(Kanamori) You divide into opposing and agreeing sides and talk, right? I think.
Yeah, that's right.
(Enomoto) How is the winner of a debate decided?
(Kurayoshi)
The judge who's listening decides who wins or loses.
Heeh.
Are you okay? Sakurai.
Everyone is probably thinking, right?
Sakurai, what are you talking so high and mighty about with those grades?
Eh? Is that so?
Because in the end, grades are everything at this school, aren't they?
Yeah, everyone's desperately working hard, aren't they?
Even if they don't show it on the outside.
I feel like an idiot somehow.
Why do you say that?
Sakurai is working harder than anyone else, so you can be confident.
Ugh, ugh ugh!
Ah, ah, ah
Sorry for making you wait.
Wait a little.
I'm going to beat this guy.
Ugh instant kill.
Eh, amazing
Okay, let's go.
(Chime)
(Chime)
Sorry, let's go home.
Wait a little.
Eh? What?
It's open.
Excuse me.
Are you okay?
Father
Father
Eh? Why?
Shinonome-san
consulted with me that she wanted to meet and talk with her divorced father,
so I accompanied her.
I told you you didn't have to call me.
I told you you didn't have to call me.
Because On's mother isn't coming, right?
So, I called you on my own judgment.
That was a good judgment. Thank you.
(Tominaga) On has various complexities.
Because the class is starting to move, it seems she has a strong desire to work hard,
but
she's adamantly rejecting Okami.
So that's why you left Shinonome-san there?
So that's why you left Shinonome-san there?
(Tominaga) I thought I should talk to Okami properly.
Want to eat some bread?
I don't need any.
Koreeda-sensei insisted on buying it no matter what,
and I thought, "What are you saying at a time like this?"
but he said, "You must be hungry."
If you're at loose ends, shouldn't Sensei eat it?
Or
go home.
(Eiji) Takuto, can I talk to you for a minute?
(Eiji)
If you get involved with this matter any further,
they said they'd release it.
I don't really care.
(Eiji) Do you understand how the person being photographed feels?
(Eiji) Is it fun?
Playing newspaper reporter?
Okay, here's the translation of the provided Japanese text into English:
Playing newspaper reporter?
(Vibrating notification)
So, starting next week, we will conduct three-way interviews remotely.
Please enter your availability into the system.
If there are no further questions, we will end homeroom here.
Do you know what this is?
It's the textbook that Shinonome-san's father made, right?
You knew,
You knew, and you were pretending not to know, weren't you?
I wasn't really pretending not to know.
Mikami-sensei also has responsibility,
doesn't she?
Why?
Yesterday,
my father collapsed.
(Murmuring) Eh?
(Murmuring) Eh?
Tominaga, who was with him, helped him,
and if the discovery had been delayed even a little longer, he wouldn't have survived.
My father
was a middle school teacher.
The reason I'm speaking in the past tense is because he's not a teacher anymore.
It was discovered that he was conducting classes using his own unique teaching materials,
and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology
questioned him about violating the mandatory Course of Study. That's right.
(Jigen) Eh?
Unique teaching materials are no good?
Koreeda-sensei, aren't you using them?
Eh? Ah
It's okay to use them as supplementary materials.
But during compulsory education in Japanese schools,
you have to use textbooks that have passed the textbook screening.
you have to use textbooks that have passed the textbook screening.
Well, there are many private schools that don't follow that.
Eh? What's textbook screening?
(Wakui) You can't use textbooks unless they pass the screening.
Private textbooks are Eh? Ah, is that so?
And yet, Shinonome-san's father didn't use textbooks at all,
and was using his own unique teaching materials.
(Jigen) Whoa, not at all?
That might be no good.
So, even so, to force a teacher to quit because of that
So, even so, to force a teacher to quit because of that
The problem was discovered,
guidance was given,
but no matter how many times they told him, he wouldn't stop,
so he wasn't allowed to teach classes anymore.
So, in the end, he voluntarily resigned.
(Miyazawa) Eh? Isn't that the Ministry of Education's fault?
Eh? Why?
That's why my father and mother
got divorced because of that.
Shinonome-san, let's calm down for a moment.
Mikami-sensei.
Shinonome-san, let's calm down for a moment.
Mikami-sensei.
Have you ever thought about that?
Because of the rules that the Ministry of Education decided,
families are being ruined.
Hmm I don't think so.
Such
The Course of Study isn't there
to protect the peace of families, you know.
(Tominaga) Um, can I say something?
Of course.
Yesterday was the first time
Yesterday was the first time
I heard about On's family situation in detail.
So, I thought I couldn't say anything
without knowing about it from the root.
So, I tried reading the junior high school Course of Study.
Eh? So what if you read it?
If you don't know what something is, you can't deny it or affirm it, right?
Please.
First of all, this "zest for living" is
the theme of this Course of Study.
And if you read it carefully on top of that,
"Ingenuity and inventiveness"
"Cultivating thinking skills, judgment, expressive ability, etc."
"Education that makes the most of individuality"
"Education that makes the most of individuality"
I completely don't understand why On-papa is wrong.
On-papa's teaching materials also
are content that is always conscious of "zest for living,"
and if I had studied with textbooks like this, it would have been fun, like -
They're really good teaching materials.
So, the problem with On-papa
is that he didn't fulfill his obligation to use textbooks that have passed textbook screening.
That's all I think.
That's all I think.
(Anzai) Hmm.
Even so, this writing -
I don't understand it at all.
Especially the junior high school Course of Study is unpopular because it's hard to understand.
Even among bureaucrats,
it's often a topic of discussion that they have to do something about it.
Well, so while it's a delightful explanation,
it doesn't make what Shinonome-san's father
did okay.
I understand that much.
Then, what should we do?
Eh?
Because you want to change it,
didn't you raise the issue with everyone?
Or did you just want me to apologize?
Think.
Please give me some time.
That's right.
Okay, here's the translation of the provided Japanese text into English:
(Chime)
Everyone, let's think about it a little bit.
Tominaga, thank you for the easy-to-understand explanation.
Tominaga, thank you for the easy-to-understand explanation.
Shinonome-san.
Shinonome-san, your name is "On," from 温故知新 (onkochishin), right?
温故知新 (onkochishin): "Learn the new by investigating the old."
So, "On."
Yes.
My father gave it to me.
It's entrusted to you, huh?
That's right.
(Shinonome) And yet, I
was upset by my father collapsing
and just got angry
That's not true.
I think it was a good issue to raise.
Somehow,
I'm frustrated.
Yeah.
(In a small voice) It's okay.
(Jigen) Kanzaki.
Why don't you come to my place today?
Huh? Why?
Why don't you come to my place today?
Huh? Why?
Just come!
I got some information.
Heheh-
Kanzaki's going to be so surprised.
Ken-chan, welcome home.
(Jigen) I'm home.
Hello.
Hello.
Come in, come in.
Hello.
(Kanzaki) Excuse me.
Eh? Amazing!
Huh?
Eh? What is this? Amazing!
Why is Tominaga here?
Why is Tominaga here?
(Tominaga) Did Jigen assemble all of this?
Yeah.
Heeh. Your parents are giving you money, huh?
Well, our school has a lot of kids from families with high "combat power," to begin with, right?
In our case, academically speaking, a genius was born
as if from a sudden mutation in a family with zero "combat power."
So the purse strings are also quite looooose.
Hey Lupin, PC on!
(Artificial Intelligence Lupin's voice) Yes, sir.
(Tominaga) Eh? What did you do just now?
(Tominaga) Eh? What did you do just now?
I made my own original version of artificial intelligence that can recognize speech.
I'm Jigen, and my nickname is naturally "Jigen."
(Tominaga) Ah, so that's why "Lupin"?
Yes, I am Lupin.
Hey Lupin, Yuzuru.
OK.
(Tominaga) Eh? Who is this kid?
(Jigen) Mayama Yuzuru.
Ah.
(Jigen) By the way, this photo that's circulating is from her junior high school yearbook -
Hey Lupin,
Hey Lupin, generate this photo to show Yuzuru at 22 years old.
Roger that.
(Tominaga) Ooh
(Jigen) Lupin, summarize Mayama Yuzuru's information.
Click!
(Jigen) Of course, the cause of her being a shut-in is bullying -
Her father is Mayama Takafumi -
He was a high-ranking official in the prefectural board of education -
A daughter raised in such a family became a shut-in of all things.
A daughter raised in such a family became a shut-in of all things.
If you read the news articles properly,
it's all just things that are written there, right?
That's true, but
this is surprisingly convenient -
For example
Hey Lupin, show the data for Yuzuru's case.
Loading
(Tominaga) Eh? What is this? Amazing
Hello, this is Mikami.
I'm thinking of doing that thing tomorrow.
Yes.
Understood.
I want to become a public prosecutor.
Eh? Really?
You can study this case
practically, can't you? I started investigating thinking it was a chaaaaaance.
Heeh.
If this is going to be a long story, I'm going home.
Come on now.
My selling points are
first of all, this.
And this room.
You can use it anytime.
You can use it anytime.
I don't need it.
Then, how about this option?
I'm way too super excellent,
so I discovered an unbelievable image!
Eh? Show me.
If you make me your assistant, I'll show you.
Do it, do it. Kanzaki, make Jigen your assistant.
Ah, geez, Tominaga, just go home.
Unfortunately, I can't go home until I see it~
So, the contract is established.
So, the contract is established.
Is that alright?
I guess there's no choice.
Yay~!
(Jigen) Then, here's a quiz -
What year was a camera function first added to mobile phones?
(Tominaga) Eh~ It probably existed when I was born, but
Okay, here's the translation of the provided Japanese text into English:
(Jigen) The correct answer is 1999.
And with the addition of the function to attach photos to emails,
2001 was when it exploded in popularity.
2001 was when it exploded in popularity.
Is this "option" a lecture tracing the history of mobile devices?
Well, please wait a moment.
And then came 2002.
Do you not remember anything from this year?
The year after 9/11, huh?
Was there anything?
Ugh
If you dive deep into the internet,
you can find photos of crime scenes like this, you know~
Nakaoka-san.
(Nakaoka) Ah, Makino-san.
What's wrong? At this hour.
I have a date with Fujioka-sensei.
I have a date with Fujioka-sensei.
He calls me out whenever he wants to see me.
How about you? Are you preparing for the Diet tomorrow?
Yes, the regular Diet session is reaching its climax.
A bicycle, huh?
This is the fastest way to connect Kasumigaseki and Nagata-cho.
I'm mainly doing delivery work
for documents related to the nation with this. It's analog, isn't it?
Nagata-cho is still doing everything face-to-face.
Um, Nakaoka-san.
What?
Could you spare some time sometime?
Of course.
Could you spare some time sometime?
Of course.
If possible, just the two of us.
Oh? A date?
I'd be delighted.
I hope we can have a long
and lasting relationship.
(Jigen) Ah, ah, ah~!-
I lost again.
(Tamayo) Ah.
I lost again.
(Tamayo) Ah.
Ah, excuse me.
(Tamayo) Wasn't there another person?
There was, but they went home.
(Tamayo)
If you want, why don't you eat dinner before you go?
Ah I'm just about to go home.
Oh my, are you
Tominaga-san's daughter?
Eh?
Ah!
I was at the parents' association with your mother in your first year.
Is that so?
The parents there,
you know, there are a lot of pretentious people, right?
So I was helped because
your mother was there.
Mom, please don't say unnecessary things.
Mom, please don't say unnecessary things.
Please come again sometime.
Please do.
Well then, thank you for having me.
Yes.
(Jigen, Tominaga) Bye.
(Tamayo) Wait a second -
Make sure you walk her home properly.
Who is this?
You know, right?
I want to hear it from your mouth.
22 years ago,
after broadcasting a statement to the entire school from the school broadcasting room,
there was a boy who chose to take his own life.
At the time, that extremely shocking death
At the time, that extremely shocking death
caused such a commotion that there were even copycats.
That boy's name was Mikami Kota.
He's my real older brother.
You, as a junior high school student, witnessed this firsthand.
Ah.
Ah.
(Kanzaki) You-
What did you come to this school for?
Revenge? Or?
I can't talk about it yet.
(Operating sound)
Good morning.
Good morning.
Excuse me, are you
Mikami Takashi?
Do you have a moment?
In this school newspaper that this student wrote
In this school newspaper that this student wrote
(Manager) Really, we're open for business, so could you all please leave?
If the manager talks to us, we'll leave.
(Manager)
You're disturbing the people around you.
When are you going to come to apologize to me?
I can't do my job like this
(Mizobata) From the beginning of the new school year, we're already having reporters come -
The students are feeling unsettled.
Please be careful not to give them any unnecessary stimulation.
Please be careful not to give them any unnecessary stimulation.
That's all. Thank you.
Thank you.
(Yamazoe) Were you alright?
What are you talking about?
Eh? Well, a little while ago something
Did something happen?
Well, so
Mikami-sensei was being spoken to by a reporter.
Mikami-sensei, is that true?
Yes.
It seems they said that Kanzaki-kun's latest newspaper had been sent.
It seems they said that Kanzaki-kun's latest newspaper had been sent.
If you don't report it immediately, I was just about to talk about it.
Anyway, please go through the school for things like that.
I received a business card, so if necessary,
the school will formally protest.
What is it with this one thing after another?
Okay, dismissed.
Dismissed?
Why are we dismissed?
There are only teachers here, right?
There are only teachers here, right?
Is there any teacher here who is not related to this problem?
Please stop that.
I've been thinking it for a while now.
The staff has to set an example for the students first,
but you're just looking at each other and trying to get through the time, aren't you?
The slogan of this school is, "Discipline oneself," written as
"Autonomy," right?
Is that a slogan that teachers don't have to abide by?
Stop it.
Is there anyone here who can honestly say that they are not related to this?
Stop it.
Is there anyone here who can honestly say that they are not related to this?
Is there anyone who can say that in all seriousness?
I'm telling you to stop!
You can't have education where you close your ears to other people's opinions.
What did you say?
Mizobata-shunin, a little
(Kodai) Is something the matter?
(Kodai) Is something the matter?
Ah, was something the matter?
No.
(Mizobata) No, um
(Kodai) You haven't done anything rude to Mikami-sensei, have you?
Of course, I wouldn't do anything like that.
Actually, this morning, a weekly magazine reporter
came to Mikami-sensei.
(Operating sound)
We were talking about how to respond to that.
That's right, isn't it?
Yes.
This
(Yoshikawa) What's this?
What's wrong?
"Rintoku is the land of Japan."
"Many people have entered this land from the Hirakawa Gate."
"Many people have entered this land from the Hirakawa Gate."
"I am watching your corruption."
"Yamato Takeru no Mikoto"
Hmph.
There are people who like to play elaborate pranks, aren't there?
(Kodai) Alright, everyone.
(Kodai claps hands)
(Kodai)
Please get back to work quickly.
I won't let Mikami do as she pleases.
Good, isn't it?
《（Shibuya）Ah, I'm sorry.》
(Mikami) That day,
you used a homemade bomb
and were planning a suicide bombing
involving everyone around you.
However, the bomb failed to detonate.
So you switched your plan
and the moment Shibuya Yusuke stood up,
whom you had been targeting,
you approached him from behind
《Ugh》
and stabbed him in the back.
《Uwaah! Uwaah!》
The knife you prepared slipped past the ribs and reached his heart,
The knife you prepared slipped past the ribs and reached his heart,
and he died a few minutes later.
I won't say what you did has no meaning.
But it's also true that "society," as it's called, hasn't changed by even a millimeter.
Or perhaps it has changed a little.
Because you are a young and beautiful woman,
you have a fan club on the outside.
It's humiliating, I understand. But it's the truth.
And that's society, isn't it?
The shallow and thoughtless society you wanted to change.
(Yuzuru) Shut up.
Even if you stick an umbrella
into a plastic bag on the subway,
or crash a plane into a building and thousands of people die,
the world doesn't change by a millimeter.
the world doesn't change by a millimeter.
So why did you think you could change society
by just killing one person?
Don't lump me in with those people.
Even they
had their own sense of justice.
Beyond that,
they believed there was a wonderful world. How are you different?
Can you explain it logically?
I
(Guard) Time's up.
Don't misunderstand.
I didn't come here to judge you.
I know that your battle was lonely.
I know that your battle was lonely.
Maybe I know.
Go home.
You'll never be able to forget it.
The face of the person you killed.
I'll come again.
Uwaah!
What's wrong?
(Yuzuru) Uwaah! Uwaah!
(Koreeda) Good morning!
(Students) Good morning!
(Koreeda) Good morning!
(Students) Good morning!
Mikami-sensei is taking a half-day today, so I'll be in charge of homeroom.
Eh?
(Fuyuki) Sensei, Kanzaki, what did you do?
I haven't heard the story from him yet, so today here
(Sakurai) Why is the school leaving this situation unaddressed?
Regarding the reporters, we are strongly protesting.
That's not it. It's about Mikami-sensei.
I can't accept this.
I can't accept this.
We're being messed with, and we're supposed to concentrate?
(Oguri) It's okay, Sakurai.
But
Everyone is saying things behind your back,
pushing all the thankless tasks
onto Sakurai.
Isn't that unfair?
Sakurai, sit down.
I want to go to art college, you know.
I want to go to art college, you know.
Before I play the violin, I shut out all the noise.
I need pure, high-quality concentration.
I think all of us are in that moment right now.
Well
It's true that when you go out into the world,
it's full of noise,
but to tell us to do that now
is violent, I think.
I think you're right.
Yes.
I'll tell Mikami-sensei.
So please wait.
(Kanzaki) Sensei.
(Yuko) I told you not to come anymore.
The media found out about the relationship between Yuzuru-san and Sensei.
Eh?
Eh?
And that Sensei taught at Rintoku, too.
Maybe that place too.
I'm going to tell you an address now.
Come there in an hour.
Is that okay?
Or should we talk at a family restaurant?
That's impossible, right?
That's impossible, right?
(Mizobata) What happened, Mikami-sensei?
Kanzaki-kun confronted the chairman
about why the person who quit was a female teacher.
On top of that, he's disappeared.
No contact either?
No.
(Mizobata) You didn't instigate him, did you, Mikami-sensei?
I have no memory of doing so.
I don't need any Kasumigaseki literature.
Anyway, if you come to school, please talk to me properly.
Anyway, if you come to school, please talk to me properly.
Understood.
Is it true that you refused the assignment to Rintoku Seminar?
I didn't think I had the qualifications to teach, even if it was a cram school.
But Tsutsui-sensei was teaching normally.
But Tsutsui-sensei was teaching normally.
If someone can do that, they should do it.
But Sensei couldn't do that.
I thought I should cut ties
with the name "Rintoku."
So something happened that made you think that way, right?
So something happened that made you think that way, right?
Listen, Kanzaki-kun,
you should really stop.
I can't do that.
You still have a long life ahead of you.
That's why.
Precisely because it's long,
you need to think about it properly now.
you need to think about it properly now.
The meaning of what you did.
If you don't know,
Was the affair
something you wanted to do?
Wasn't there some reason?
My husband was violent, and I had nowhere else to go.
That's all there is to it.
That's a lie.
Go home.
Please answer me.
Go home.
Please answer me.
If you published a wrong article, you have an obligation to correct it.
It's not wrong. That's why there's no need to correct it.
I understand Oguri-san's opinion.
However, it's irresponsible to promise students such concentration right now.
But it's more dangerous
to pretend that incident didn't happen.
Especially for Kanzaki-kun.
You know why, don't you?
Because it's a matter of life and death.
Are you afraid that Kanzaki-kun will be the next victim?
Are you afraid that Kanzaki-kun will be the next victim?
I'm ashamed of my lack of imagination.
Even I'm like this,
I can only imagine how Kanzaki-kun must feel.
Of course, he must be deeply hurt.
But the more we postpone it,
the deeper the wound will become.
That's why it's necessary to find it out for himself.
What he's struggling with.
Both the question and the answer
are only inside of him.
(Makino) A gossip magazine reporter sent this -
It seems the students in Mikami's class
are sniffing around that female teacher -
and asked if it was okay to publish it -
and asked if it was okay to publish it -
His father is a political reporter for the Toto Shimbun, you know.
(Tsukada) That's right. That guy is hard to deal with if you make him an enemy.
Should we stop it?
Yes, we should.
Okay.
(Classroom goes silent)
Kanzaki, don't you have anything to say?
I'll answer if you have anything you want to ask.
What's with that condescending attitude?
(Jigen) Come on, come on, Fuyuki -
Kanzaki said that if you have anything you want to ask,
Kanzaki said that if you have anything you want to ask,
he'll answer anything, so just ask normally.
(Jigen) Right? Kanzaki?
(Kurayoshi) I want to ask.
Ah
It's okay. Go on.
Then, Kurayoshi.
Kanzaki,
Kanzaki
You said you'd figure out the identity of the vulture,
Does that mean you're directly confronting the chairman?
Yeah.
Hey, um
Fuyuki, it's my turn now.
What did Kanzaki ask, and how did the chairman answer?
I asked why Saejima-sensei
I asked why Saejima-sensei was forced to quit.
He said she quit on her own.
And Kanzaki thought that sounded like a lie.
That's right.
Hey, um I said it's my turn now, right?
What's the basis?
(Kanzaki) Under investigation.
(Kurayoshi) I see.
(Kurayoshi) I understand.
(Kurayoshi) I understand.
I've always been concerned
about why only Saejima-sensei was forced to quit.
So, I'll keep thinking about it myself,
and I'll trust Kanzaki and wait.
Ah, um
Turn end.
Is there anyone else who has an opinion?
Then, shall we start class?
Um, today is page 67.
Okay, here's the translation of the provided Japanese text into English:
This is the kind of problem where you'll get burned if you go in with a predetermined answer.
That's the kind of problem it is
(Chime)
Well then, class is dismissed.
(Students) Thank you very much.
Sensei, why don't you stop us from going off on tangents during class?
Tangents?
Because Kurayoshi
(Tominaga) Hey, why don't you ask Kurayoshi that?
I'm not saying Kurayoshi is bad, so Kurayoshi has nothing to do with it.
I'm a returnee from overseas, you know.
Eh? What does that have to do with it?
In America, you're often forced to express your opinion in class and everything else.
High school students
High school students also have debate classes.
That's not what I'm talking about,
First listen to me.
You're taught that it's important to listen to the end properly in a discussion.
I kept saying things like that even after returning to Japan.
But that's no good, is it?
You have to keep what you want to say inside,
or you'll be hated for being someone who can't read the air.
or you'll be hated for being someone who can't read the air.
I've realized that this country is a country of true feelings and official stances.
I've been made aware of it.
And I've become very scared.
(Shinonome) Kurayoshi was thinking like that?
I didn't know.
That's why,
the more important something is to me,
the more I've developed a habit of swallowing it down -
I hate that about myself.
I hate that about myself.
But
I wanted to hear
what Kanzaki had to say.
It's fine.
Do what you want.
Sakurai
(Speaking in English)
(Tominaga) What's with that exchange?
So cute.
So cute.
(Kagawa) Kurayoshi, I've wanted to try that debate
for a while, so teach me.
(Kanamori) You divide into opposing and agreeing sides and talk, right? I think.
Yeah, that's right.
(Enomoto) How is the winner of a debate decided?
(Kurayoshi)
The judge who's listening decides who wins or loses.
Heeh.
Are you okay? Sakurai.
Everyone is probably thinking, right?
Sakurai, what are you talking so high and mighty about with those grades?
Eh? Is that so?
Because in the end, grades are everything at this school, aren't they?
Yeah, everyone's desperately working hard, aren't they?
Even if they don't show it on the outside.
I feel like an idiot somehow.
Why do you say that?
Sakurai is working harder than anyone else, so you can be confident.
Ugh, ugh ugh!
Ah, ah, ah
Sorry for making you wait.
Wait a little.
I'm going to beat this guy.
Ugh instant kill.
Eh, amazing
Okay, let's go.
(Chime)
(Chime)
Sorry, let's go home.
Wait a little.
Eh? What?
It's open.
Excuse me.
Are you okay?
Father
Father
Eh? Why?
Shinonome-san
consulted with me that she wanted to meet and talk with her divorced father,
so I accompanied her.
I told you you didn't have to call me.
I told you you didn't have to call me.
Because On's mother isn't coming, right?
So, I called you on my own judgment.
That was a good judgment. Thank you.
(Tominaga) On has various complexities.
Because the class is starting to move, it seems she has a strong desire to work hard,
but
she's adamantly rejecting Okami.
So that's why you left Shinonome-san there?
So that's why you left Shinonome-san there?
(Tominaga) I thought I should talk to Okami properly.
Want to eat some bread?
I don't need any.
Koreeda-sensei insisted on buying it no matter what,
and I thought, "What are you saying at a time like this?"
but he said, "You must be hungry."
If you're at loose ends, shouldn't Sensei eat it?
Or
go home.
(Eiji) Takuto, can I talk to you for a minute?
(Eiji)
If you get involved with this matter any further,
they said they'd release it.
I don't really care.
(Eiji) Do you understand how the person being photographed feels?
(Eiji) Is it fun?
Playing newspaper reporter?
Okay, here's the translation of the provided Japanese text into English:
Playing newspaper reporter?
(Vibrating notification)
So, starting next week, we will conduct three-way interviews remotely.
Please enter your availability into the system.
If there are no further questions, we will end homeroom here.
Do you know what this is?
It's the textbook that Shinonome-san's father made, right?
You knew,
You knew, and you were pretending not to know, weren't you?
I wasn't really pretending not to know.
Mikami-sensei also has responsibility,
doesn't she?
Why?
Yesterday,
my father collapsed.
(Murmuring) Eh?
(Murmuring) Eh?
Tominaga, who was with him, helped him,
and if the discovery had been delayed even a little longer, he wouldn't have survived.
My father
was a middle school teacher.
The reason I'm speaking in the past tense is because he's not a teacher anymore.
It was discovered that he was conducting classes using his own unique teaching materials,
and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology
questioned him about violating the mandatory Course of Study. That's right.
(Jigen) Eh?
Unique teaching materials are no good?
Koreeda-sensei, aren't you using them?
Eh? Ah
It's okay to use them as supplementary materials.
But during compulsory education in Japanese schools,
you have to use textbooks that have passed the textbook screening.
you have to use textbooks that have passed the textbook screening.
Well, there are many private schools that don't follow that.
Eh? What's textbook screening?
(Wakui) You can't use textbooks unless they pass the screening.
Private textbooks are Eh? Ah, is that so?
And yet, Shinonome-san's father didn't use textbooks at all,
and was using his own unique teaching materials.
(Jigen) Whoa, not at all?
That might be no good.
So, even so, to force a teacher to quit because of that
So, even so, to force a teacher to quit because of that
The problem was discovered,
guidance was given,
but no matter how many times they told him, he wouldn't stop,
so he wasn't allowed to teach classes anymore.
So, in the end, he voluntarily resigned.
(Miyazawa) Eh? Isn't that the Ministry of Education's fault?
Eh? Why?
That's why my father and mother
got divorced because of that.
Shinonome-san, let's calm down for a moment.
Mikami-sensei.
Shinonome-san, let's calm down for a moment.
Mikami-sensei.
Have you ever thought about that?
Because of the rules that the Ministry of Education decided,
families are being ruined.
Hmm I don't think so.
Such
The Course of Study isn't there
to protect the peace of families, you know.
(Tominaga) Um, can I say something?
Of course.
Yesterday was the first time
Yesterday was the first time
I heard about On's family situation in detail.
So, I thought I couldn't say anything
without knowing about it from the root.
So, I tried reading the junior high school Course of Study.
Eh? So what if you read it?
If you don't know what something is, you can't deny it or affirm it, right?
Please.
First of all, this "zest for living" is
the theme of this Course of Study.
And if you read it carefully on top of that,
"Ingenuity and inventiveness"
"Cultivating thinking skills, judgment, expressive ability, etc."
"Education that makes the most of individuality"
"Education that makes the most of individuality"
I completely don't understand why On-papa is wrong.
On-papa's teaching materials also
are content that is always conscious of "zest for living,"
and if I had studied with textbooks like this, it would have been fun, like -
They're really good teaching materials.
So, the problem with On-papa
is that he didn't fulfill his obligation to use textbooks that have passed textbook screening.
That's all I think.
That's all I think.
(Anzai) Hmm.
Even so, this writing -
I don't understand it at all.
Especially the junior high school Course of Study is unpopular because it's hard to understand.
Even among bureaucrats,
it's often a topic of discussion that they have to do something about it.
Well, so while it's a delightful explanation,
it doesn't make what Shinonome-san's father
did okay.
I understand that much.
Then, what should we do?
Eh?
Because you want to change it,
didn't you raise the issue with everyone?
Or did you just want me to apologize?
Think.
Please give me some time.
That's right.
Okay, here's the translation of the provided Japanese text into English:
(Chime)
Everyone, let's think about it a little bit.
Tominaga, thank you for the easy-to-understand explanation.
Tominaga, thank you for the easy-to-understand explanation.
Shinonome-san.
Shinonome-san, your name is "On," from 温故知新 (onkochishin), right?
温故知新 (onkochishin): "Learn the new by investigating the old."
So, "On."
Yes.
My father gave it to me.
It's entrusted to you, huh?
That's right.
(Shinonome) And yet, I
was upset by my father collapsing
and just got angry
That's not true.
I think it was a good issue to raise.
Somehow,
I'm frustrated.
Yeah.
(In a small voice) It's okay.
(Jigen) Kanzaki.
Why don't you come to my place today?
Huh? Why?
Why don't you come to my place today?
Huh? Why?
Just come!
I got some information.
Heheh-
Kanzaki's going to be so surprised.
Ken-chan, welcome home.
(Jigen) I'm home.
Hello.
Hello.
Come in, come in.
Hello.
(Kanzaki) Excuse me.
Eh? Amazing!
Huh?
Eh? What is this? Amazing!
Why is Tominaga here?
Why is Tominaga here?
(Tominaga) Did Jigen assemble all of this?
Yeah.
Heeh. Your parents are giving you money, huh?
Well, our school has a lot of kids from families with high "combat power," to begin with, right?
In our case, academically speaking, a genius was born
as if from a sudden mutation in a family with zero "combat power."
So the purse strings are also quite looooose.
Hey Lupin, PC on!
(Artificial Intelligence Lupin's voice) Yes, sir.
(Tominaga) Eh? What did you do just now?
(Tominaga) Eh? What did you do just now?
I made my own original version of artificial intelligence that can recognize speech.
I'm Jigen, and my nickname is naturally "Jigen."
(Tominaga) Ah, so that's why "Lupin"?
Yes, I am Lupin.
Hey Lupin, Yuzuru.
OK.
(Tominaga) Eh? Who is this kid?
(Jigen) Mayama Yuzuru.
Ah.
(Jigen) By the way, this photo that's circulating is from her junior high school yearbook -
Hey Lupin,
Hey Lupin, generate this photo to show Yuzuru at 22 years old.
Roger that.
(Tominaga) Ooh
(Jigen) Lupin, summarize Mayama Yuzuru's information.
Click!
(Jigen) Of course, the cause of her being a shut-in is bullying -
Her father is Mayama Takafumi -
He was a high-ranking official in the prefectural board of education -
A daughter raised in such a family became a shut-in of all things.
A daughter raised in such a family became a shut-in of all things.
If you read the news articles properly,
it's all just things that are written there, right?
That's true, but
this is surprisingly convenient -
For example
Hey Lupin, show the data for Yuzuru's case.
Loading
(Tominaga) Eh? What is this? Amazing
Hello, this is Mikami.
I'm thinking of doing that thing tomorrow.
Yes.
Understood.
I want to become a public prosecutor.
Eh? Really?
You can study this case
practically, can't you? I started investigating thinking it was a chaaaaaance.
Heeh.
If this is going to be a long story, I'm going home.
Come on now.
My selling points are
first of all, this.
And this room.
You can use it anytime.
You can use it anytime.
I don't need it.
Then, how about this option?
I'm way too super excellent,
so I discovered an unbelievable image!
Eh? Show me.
If you make me your assistant, I'll show you.
Do it, do it. Kanzaki, make Jigen your assistant.
Ah, geez, Tominaga, just go home.
Unfortunately, I can't go home until I see it~
So, the contract is established.
So, the contract is established.
Is that alright?
I guess there's no choice.
Yay~!
(Jigen) Then, here's a quiz -
What year was a camera function first added to mobile phones?
(Tominaga) Eh~ It probably existed when I was born, but
Okay, here's the translation of the provided Japanese text into English:
(Jigen) The correct answer is 1999.
And with the addition of the function to attach photos to emails,
2001 was when it exploded in popularity.
2001 was when it exploded in popularity.
Is this "option" a lecture tracing the history of mobile devices?
Well, please wait a moment.
And then came 2002.
Do you not remember anything from this year?
The year after 9/11, huh?
Was there anything?
Ugh
If you dive deep into the internet,
you can find photos of crime scenes like this, you know~
Nakaoka-san.
(Nakaoka) Ah, Makino-san.
What's wrong? At this hour.
I have a date with Fujioka-sensei.
I have a date with Fujioka-sensei.
He calls me out whenever he wants to see me.
How about you? Are you preparing for the Diet tomorrow?
Yes, the regular Diet session is reaching its climax.
A bicycle, huh?
This is the fastest way to connect Kasumigaseki and Nagata-cho.
I'm mainly doing delivery work
for documents related to the nation with this. It's analog, isn't it?
Nagata-cho is still doing everything face-to-face.
Um, Nakaoka-san.
What?
Could you spare some time sometime?
Of course.
Could you spare some time sometime?
Of course.
If possible, just the two of us.
Oh? A date?
I'd be delighted.
I hope we can have a long
and lasting relationship.
(Jigen) Ah, ah, ah~!-
I lost again.
(Tamayo) Ah.
I lost again.
(Tamayo) Ah.
Ah, excuse me.
(Tamayo) Wasn't there another person?
There was, but they went home.
(Tamayo)
If you want, why don't you eat dinner before you go?
Ah I'm just about to go home.
Oh my, are you
Tominaga-san's daughter?
Eh?
Ah!
I was at the parents' association with your mother in your first year.
Is that so?
The parents there,
you know, there are a lot of pretentious people, right?
So I was helped because
your mother was there.
Mom, please don't say unnecessary things.
Mom, please don't say unnecessary things.
Please come again sometime.
Please do.
Well then, thank you for having me.
Yes.
(Jigen, Tominaga) Bye.
(Tamayo) Wait a second -
Make sure you walk her home properly.
Who is this?
You know, right?
I want to hear it from your mouth.
22 years ago,
after broadcasting a statement to the entire school from the school broadcasting room,
there was a boy who chose to take his own life.
At the time, that extremely shocking death
At the time, that extremely shocking death
caused such a commotion that there were even copycats.
That boy's name was Mikami Kota.
He's my real older brother.
You, as a junior high school student, witnessed this firsthand.
Ah.
Ah.
(Kanzaki) You-
What did you come to this school for?
Revenge? Or?
I can't talk about it yet.
(Operating sound)
Good morning.
Good morning.
Excuse me, are you
Mikami Takashi?
Do you have a moment?
In this school newspaper that this student wrote
In this school newspaper that this student wrote
(Manager) Really, we're open for business, so could you all please leave?
If the manager talks to us, we'll leave.
(Manager)
You're disturbing the people around you.
When are you going to come to apologize to me?
I can't do my job like this
(Mizobata) From the beginning of the new school year, we're already having reporters come -
The students are feeling unsettled.
Please be careful not to give them any unnecessary stimulation.
Please be careful not to give them any unnecessary stimulation.
That's all. Thank you.
Thank you.
(Yamazoe) Were you alright?
What are you talking about?
Eh? Well, a little while ago something
Did something happen?
Well, so
Mikami-sensei was being spoken to by a reporter.
Mikami-sensei, is that true?
Yes.
It seems they said that Kanzaki-kun's latest newspaper had been sent.
It seems they said that Kanzaki-kun's latest newspaper had been sent.
If you don't report it immediately, I was just about to talk about it.
Anyway, please go through the school for things like that.
I received a business card, so if necessary,
the school will formally protest.
What is it with this one thing after another?
Okay, dismissed.
Dismissed?
Why are we dismissed?
There are only teachers here, right?
There are only teachers here, right?
Is there any teacher here who is not related to this problem?
Please stop that.
I've been thinking it for a while now.
The staff has to set an example for the students first,
but you're just looking at each other and trying to get through the time, aren't you?
The slogan of this school is, "Discipline oneself," written as
"Autonomy," right?
Is that a slogan that teachers don't have to abide by?
Stop it.
Is there anyone here who can honestly say that they are not related to this?
Stop it.
Is there anyone here who can honestly say that they are not related to this?
Is there anyone who can say that in all seriousness?
I'm telling you to stop!
You can't have education where you close your ears to other people's opinions.
What did you say?
Mizobata-shunin, a little
(Kodai) Is something the matter?
(Kodai) Is something the matter?
Ah, was something the matter?
No.
(Mizobata) No, um
(Kodai) You haven't done anything rude to Mikami-sensei, have you?
Of course, I wouldn't do anything like that.
Actually, this morning, a weekly magazine reporter
came to Mikami-sensei.
(Operating sound)
We were talking about how to respond to that.
That's right, isn't it?
Yes.
This
(Yoshikawa) What's this?
What's wrong?
"Rintoku is the land of Japan."
"Many people have entered this land from the Hirakawa Gate."
"Many people have entered this land from the Hirakawa Gate."
"I am watching your corruption."
"Yamato Takeru no Mikoto"
Hmph.
There are people who like to play elaborate pranks, aren't there?
(Kodai) Alright, everyone.
(Kodai claps hands)
(Kodai)
Please get back to work quickly.
I won't let Mikami do as she pleases.
Good, isn't it?
