Episode 11

"Since coming to Tokyo
"10 springs had passed."
- Hey! Ma-kun, welcome back!
- Welcome back!
Work hard?
Yeah.
"Okan was completely worn out, but
"now that the chemotherapy
had ended,
"and the pain and nausea had subsided,
"compared to before,
"her condition was much better."
It's like having a meal
in Sasazuka, isn't it?
It is
Ala!
It's
already spring, isn't it
All the Sakura trees along the streets
of Sasazuka are in full bloom.
When you feel better, we'll do some Hanami.
(Hanami - cherry blossom viewing)
Yeah, all of us!
We should
"In the 3 months since being hospitalized,
"Okan had not gone out.
"So, with Oba-chan,
she went for a trip."
Okan
Enjoy yourself.
Well then
I'll be going for awhile.
Take care.
I will.
Bye.
You must be happy for her.
Making happy memories,
is the best medicine, isn't it
Hello?
Oba-chan?
Ma-kun?
Terrific news!
What's happened?
Sis she ate sashimi!
(Sashimi - sliced, raw fish)
Make sure she eats lots.
I'll switch to her.
Hello.
So you're eating sashimi.
It looked so delicious
I couldn't help but eat it.
I see.
That's great!
After this, the two of us
We're gonna set up our pillows,
and have a talking convention.
Make sure you don't stay
up all night!
Okay, okay.
See you later.
Well?
How's my Soba Vermicelli?
Umm.
It's great!
It's the taste of home, after all.
Next, I'm making stir-fry
Moyashi.
Here you go.
Rice.
Thanks!
I'll get it.
Thanks.
Hello.
Nakagawa residence.
Ah hello.
Yes.
Eh?!
Senpai
"Nakagawa
"your mother collapsed, and she was
rushed to the hospital by ambulance."
Okan
I'm sorry
Excuse me, Hashimoto-sensei?!
Ah, Nakagawa-san.
Where's Okan
When she was brought in,
she was in considerable pain.
Right now she's settled down
with the use of morphine.
Where is she!?
We have moved her to
a private room.
Oba-chan!
Ma-kun!
I'm sorry
"Tokyo Tower"
(Okan and Me and, Sometimes, Oton)
Okan?
Are you awake?
When
did you get here?
Me?
I've been here
for a long while now.
I guess
home would've been better.
With
you.
In the refrigerator
there's tai sashimi
Okan?
What's the matter?
In the saucepan
there's Nasubi miso soup.
(Nasubi - eggplant)
Warm it up and eat it.
Have the Nasubi
miso soup
Yeah.
There is a significant decrease in her
physical strength,
and her condition will not stabilize.
Please think these next few days
will be her last.
Final Episode: "Namida no Saigo"
"Final Tear"
Senpai
She's settled down for a bit.
Come see her.
Okan
Everyone's come.
Oh you came.
Oba-chan.
I don't have anyone to play PuyoPuyo with.
(PuyoPuyo - video game similar to Tetris)
Hurry and get cured,
it's a bother.
That's right.
There's no limit to how my stomach
is growling anymore.
You have to come home.
You're my Japanese Mama, after all.
That's right
I've brought next month's issue.
Like always, Nakagawa's illustrations
have a good reputation.
You're so kind
That
is Narusawa-kun's
best point.
From now on, Ma-kun's
his work
please watch over him.
Leave him to me!
We're Kusaren, after all.
(Kusaren - an undesirable but inseparable friendship)
What's with all of you?
Don't look like that
My troublesome sons
Mother
My cherished daughter
my one and only.
Sorry about this.
Coming especially all this way.
No
I'll be here for a little while.
What about your work
at home?
Don't push yourself too much.
It's okay.
The most important thing to me
is Mother, after all.
Ma-kun will be okay, Ma'am.
Even though he stumbles
every now and then,
well, he is a clumsy fellow, after all
Still
though he takes the long way around,
one by one
somehow, he's a man
who grabs the things he wants.
Up until now.
And, I'm sure,
from now on, as well.
Tezuka-san.
Yes.
From now on
please
watch over him.
Okan
I promised you
we'd go up Tokyo Tower.
Doesn't look like
we will, does it?
Okan do you remember?
The time I first came out
to Tokyo?
I gave you a look,
told you I could raise myself alone
then rushed away.
Like usual
I couldn't get up in the mornings
and my room was a mess, too.
I didn't eat meals, either.
At the time
I didn't change at all.
I
I still didn't know anything
Even after coming to Tokyo
I still don't know anything.
That's why, Okan
You can't
You can't go yet!
Don't leave me alone!
Okan!
Oton!
So she's sleeping.
"Sleeping that time
"I had never experienced a sleep
like that before.
"It was a deep, gentle sleep.
"Okan's final request
"was for the three of us
"to sleep together
in the same place."
Okan?
Okan!?
Okan!
Oton! Oton!!
Okan!
Okan!
Okan!
Okan!!
What are you saying?
Okan!
What are you saying?
Okan
I don't understand
what you're trying to say.
Don't worry
Don't worry about me anymore,
Okan!
Okan!
Okan!!
Okan, please hang in there,
okay?!
Excuse us for a moment.
Okan!
Don't go, Okan!!
- Full speed!
- Yes.
Bastard!
Hurry and save her!
Please leave.
Okan, hang in there, Okan!
Okan! Okan! Okan!!
Okan, please don't go!
EIKO!!
I want to eat your Nukazuki again
Okan
I want to eat breakfast
with you again
Okan Okan
Okan!
At 7:30 AM
she passed away.
"She was the most important
person to me.
"My one and only family.
"For my sake
"she had lived her life.
"My Okan.
"Okan
"was dead."
Okan
Okan
OKKAAAN!!
"That day
"fine weather pierced through to Tokyo,
"and blue skies spread out everywhere.
"From the crossing at Akabanebashi,
"a deep crimson Tokyo Tower
"was a ladder to the sky."
Please come up.
Sis loved having fun with
her favorite people,
so don't be gloomy.
Have fun, please!
Excuse me.
Oba-chan!
Maeno-kun!
Go encourage him.
Hey! Over here, over here!
Baka-bon.
Ah, Senpai!
Is that Chikuzen cooking?
It's called Kyushu cooking.
It's good.
Just what you'd expect
from Eiko-san's number one pupil.
Dad!
We borrowed one for you!
Does this look okay?
Well, it'll do
- Light!
- Yes sir!
Fool!
You're so irresolute!
It's Oba-chan's treasure!
Baka-bon!
You should be the one
to inherit it.
You can be a 3 days Bonze healer.
(Bonze - Buddhist priest)
Eh?!
That's impossible for me.
Well then,
maybe we should inherit it together!
What?
Yo! The next generation
you've been waiting for!
Tezuka-san.
Huh?
Thank you very much
for everything you've done.
It may not be a huge mansion,
but that's okay.
Eh?
A good home
there may be such a thing
after all
Lastly,
a greeting from the chief mourner.
That will be
my father.
Will the father
If you would, please.
Oton.
Eiko and I were
Eiko and
"Please open when Okan dies"
"International Volunteer Savings Book"
"Life Insurance Certificate"
"Old money"
"To Ma-kun"
"Dear Ma-kun.
"Blessed with a tender-hearted son,
"I can accept
my final moments in happiness.
"Being able to live with Ma-kun
and meeting many people,
"made living in Tokyo
very enjoyable."
I'm in your care.
It matches you well!
- I bought it in Sugamo.
- Enough of Sugamo already!
No matter how ill-tempered you get,
I'm not going back.
"When you were little,
you were a crybaby,
"with a sickly constitution.
"I prayed to the gods and Buddha,
'First, let him be healthy.'
"And then
you grew up to be a gentle child.
"When you got bigger I prayed,
'Of course, his health is number one.'
"Lately I've gotten greedy,
"and I've prayed for the good health
of both you and your girlfriend.
"From now on,
"please get along well
with Manami-chan.
"She's like a real daughter to me.
"I
"I was very happy I got to know her
at the end.
"Treasure your friends
and the people you work for.
"Your teacher in junior high said:
"'Nakagawa-kun
"'is liked by both
the boys and the girls.
"I'm happy to say that.
"'A child who can study,
"'will become a good human being.'
"At the end, I was happy,
"and I don't regret anything.
"Ma-kun
"Thank you very much.
"So now
"I'll be going for a little while.
"Okan."
"Ma-kun
"Thank you so very much."
"Nakagawa Family Grave"
Shijyuukunichi, huh
(49th day after a person's death)
It came quick.
When we got married,
we would go out drinking every day.
You did?
At the time, I had started
working for a company.
Okan would come deliver
a bento every day.
She would make me eat it.
That sounds like Okan.
I didn't like it
She said she would
always come.
You couldn't tell that woman
what to do.
She would say just the right words.
She was an obstinate woman.
That's why I couldn't handle it.
That she didn't recover.
Thank you.
I'm sure Okan appreciates it, too.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Um
Um
Okan's ring
I want you to keep it
from now on.
Whaagh!!
Itadakimasu!
Morning.
"Today again in Tokyo,
"people are gathering,
to the point of overflowing."
You're late again!
Sorry about that.
I'm sorry. I'll make him get here
1 hour earlier from now on.
I'm sorry.
Next time you're late,
I'll fine you!
You're a devil manager, huh?
Someone has to beat you
into excellence!
After this,
let's go out to eat.
Ah
I have a promise to keep today.
I see.
Hula-hoops are back in with
today's youth.
Ah, I don't think so
"Each of us
"is born alone
"and faces their life alone.
"However, as a natural course,
"one by one,
we come together as family.
"It's the most important thing
we do.
"And then there is a mother.
"At some future time
"or maybe already
"all these people will experience
the same sorrow I did.
"Up until now
"that just one person alone
could make up the scenery of a town,
"looked so large.
"Everyone is awesome
"We're doing our best
"Okan.
"Although a number of years
have passed since then
"Even now I'm still unbearably lonely.
"Things like this
"always bring back memories
of you.
"All the talks we had
I'm glad we had them.
"All the things we ate
I'm glad we did.
"That we didn't make all the
trips we should have,
"I will always regret that.
"It makes me cry.
"We could have been able to do that,
"but I don't know why we didn't.
"Okan, I enjoyed
every day with you.
"I go on as ever.
"I've gotten a bit better
at work, but
"there's no telling what
may happen.
"I'm not married, either.
"As usual, I live a life Okan
would worry about.
"Still, Okan.
"I'm still
"little by little
"I'm hanging in there.
"You're watching, right?
"Sorry for everything
until now.
"And
"thank you.
"I feel proud
"to have been raised
by Okan."
Okan
It's awesome, isn't it?
Okan.
It's a beautiful day, today.
That's great, isn't it?
