53. Well, they certainly are tengu,Copy !req
54. but they're all hen tengu! Amazonesses!Copy !req
55. You're making this too complicated!Copy !req
56. No. They have to be guys, this has to be Saitama, and they aren't even really tengu.Copy !req
57. This is exactly why I hate men!Copy !req
58. Just because I'm a little tougher than some people,Copy !req
59. they act like I'm butch or a tranny or from a B-movie or some mannequin!Copy !req
60. They say I don't even blink!Copy !req

94. What do we do?Copy !req
95. I'm not sure. This should be fine though.Copy !req
96. You're sure?Copy !req
97. Sure, as long as you bring a photo ID or a piece of mail addressed to you next time.Copy !req
98. Yeah, that's good.Copy !req
99. Looks like you're saved this time, boy.Copy !req
100. That's such a letdown!Copy !req
101. Wait, where are you even going so soon!?Copy !req
102. We're done. Sorry to bother you.Copy !req
103. How does that even do you any good!?Copy !req

106. You're the ones who popped up and started interrogating me!Copy !req
107. Who the hell are you!?Copy !req
108. What's with him?Copy !req
109. How rude!Copy !req
110. Very well. I accept responsibility for showing him the treasure of the Amazon.Copy !req

117. Don't just turn around and give me that BS!Copy !req
118. And doesn't this makeup make me look like Avril?Copy !req
119. So why did you go and surround me!?Copy !req
120. 'Cuz you're lame?Copy !req
121. You don't look anything like a schoolgirl, either!Copy !req
122. Your skirt isn't the problem!Copy !req
123. This guy really ticks me off.Copy !req
124. Dammit!Copy !req
125. We were already arguing, and now you want to make it even worse!?Copy !req
126. Hear this!Copy !req
127. These things you call "treasures"Copy !req
128. are good for nothing but this!Copy !req
129. Curse you!Copy !req
130. So, what are you gonna do, schoolgi—Copy !req
131. Wait, Amazoness!Copy !req
132. Sorry... This should cloud your memories.Copy !req
133. Am I going to die in Saitama, in a city of the Amazons?Copy !req
134. No...Copy !req
135. That wasn't a blowgun...Copy !req
136. You'd better not be telling me that was a Cheeto!Copy !req
137. Wait, where am I?Copy !req
138. What were you doing, lying here dreaming of famous old junk food from Saitama?Copy !req
139. Dreaming!?Copy !req
140. Wonder if they'll ever put out a cucumber flavor.Copy !req

143. Hey, wait!Copy !req
144. Where did they go!?Copy !req
145. They?Copy !req
146. That's right, it wasn't a dream!Copy !req
147. I met an Amazoness and some tengu in Saitama!Copy !req
148. Well, they were tengu, but they were hen tengu...Copy !req
149. Sorry I made you go looking alone, Ric.Copy !req
150. We've been putting too much responsibility on you.Copy !req
151. Forgive us!Copy !req
152. That's not the ending I'm looking for!Copy !req
153. Please, be calm!Copy !req
154. Why don't you have some mustard greens?Copy !req
155. You're wrong! There really was an Amazoness!Copy !req
156. There, there. I like Amazonesses too.Copy !req
157. Don't worry, I like them just as much as you two.Copy !req
158. They look so cool.Copy !req
159. That's not what I mean!Copy !req
160. That man... I'm amazed he was able to take that Master Softee in one blow...Copy !req
161. At least we tricked him with fake Master Softee.Copy !req
162. He's unlikely to get any closer to the real Master Softee.Copy !req
163. Oh, boss?Copy !req
164. Yeah, it went great!Copy !req
165. And didn't you see him? Didn't he look so lame?Copy !req
166. All right, time to start the patrol!Copy !req

173. There's a person!Copy !req
174. So you found him slung over a pillar?Copy !req
175. He's so pale! He must have been there all night.Copy !req
176. You're awake now?Copy !req
177. Where am I?Copy !req
178. Last night, I—Copy !req
179. A group of eccentric youths hung me over a pillar!Copy !req
180. What!?Copy !req
181. The same kids who stole my pants and hung them up there!?Copy !req
182. I... I see!Copy !req
183. Meaning...Copy !req
184. He's wearing some pretty odd clothes.Copy !req
185. Did they stuff him into them?Copy !req
186. I'll never forgive them for hanging people out to dry like that!Copy !req
187. What could you possibly be talking about?Copy !req
188. Not coming down was a miscalculation,Copy !req
189. but I climbed up there of my own free will.Copy !req
190. Without this special suit, I might have ended up nothing more than a few sun-charred bits...Copy !req
191. Yo.Copy !req
192. I heard we have a guest.Copy !req
193. You two stay away for now.Copy !req
194. In fact, don't show your face in the daylight at all.Copy !req
195. You're—!Copy !req
196. So you know them!?Copy !req
197. I don't, but I most certainly do!Copy !req
198. A kappa, and a star!Copy !req
199. No, wait, perhaps a flower?Copy !req
200. A flower? No way!Copy !req
201. I'm a star, no matter how you look at it!Copy !req
202. At first glance, he is a little bit rounded.Copy !req
203. Sure is.Copy !req
204. Oh, well, right. If you mean it that way, you're mostly right, but—Copy !req
205. You're aliens! And Venusians, at that!Copy !req
206. It was just as I thought!Copy !req
207. And now that I know...Copy !req
208. I, as the captain of the Earth Defence Force, cannot remain silent!Copy !req
209. I will protect this blue and pure world!Copy !req
210. Ric thought it would have been better to have left him there for the crows to pick at.Copy !req
211. Episode 119 "Feeling"Copy !req
212. Come on, calm down.Copy !req
213. I know there are some scientists who think we kappa are descendants of aliens, but...Copy !req
214. What!?Copy !req
215. So, long ago—!?Copy !req
216. Is this birds of a feather flocking together?Copy !req
217. Come on, even if I'm a star, I'm not an alien.Copy !req
218. I guess if you insist, I'm a "music-ian"?Copy !req
219. Oh, so that's what planet you're from!?Copy !req
220. They're going straight over each other's heads, but the feeling is definitely the same.Copy !req
221. Leech, leech leech leech leech!Copy !req
222. — Oh, so this is the sound of the planet Musicia!Copy !req
223. — It seems like he already fits in better here than I do.Copy !req
224. Wait, is this one of those moments where the population under the bridge increases!?Copy !req
225. I won't just stay quiet while the level of insanity here gets cranked even higher!Copy !req
226. But he's too nuts to go home even if I tell him to...Copy !req
227. Very well! An eye for an eye, a nut for a nut!Copy !req
228. I know perfectly well that you're aliens! Come along—Copy !req
229. You're wrong.Copy !req
230. I'm the alien.Copy !req
231. I'm a Venusian!Copy !req
232. What!?Copy !req
233. Really!?Copy !req
234. Huh, you never told me.Copy !req
235. Great, I figured his ears would perk up at SF references.Copy !req
236. I'm kinda worried that the other two are interested too, though.Copy !req
237. Oh well.Copy !req
238. Now all I have to do is play the evil alien and scare him off!Copy !req
239. I see...Copy !req
240. So you're the same kind of alien as that girl!?Copy !req
241. That girl?Copy !req
242. Don't play dumb!Copy !req

260. Come on, snot bubble, don't be so loud!Copy !req
261. If someone hears us, our plans will be ruined!Copy !req
262. Fine, fine, Antenna. You're still just as much of a worrywart as you were on Venus.Copy !req
263. Only because of how easily you get carried away!Copy !req
264. You've got a lot of nerve!Copy !req
265. Hey, listen!Copy !req
266. Like that!Copy !req
267. Gah! You got me!Copy !req
268. Keep going, keep going...Copy !req
269. I knew it...Copy !req
270. That's right. The girl you saw is one of my comrades.Copy !req
271. But her power is on a whole different level.Copy !req
272. A whole different level?Copy !req
273. Foolish earthlings!Copy !req
274. You created weapons for us Venusians without even realizing you were being used!Copy !req
275. Come forth!Copy !req

282. Such fearsome aliens...Copy !req
283. They're even more powerful than nukes!Copy !req
284. But don't worry.Copy !req
285. We rather like this planet right about now.Copy !req
286. Then again, maybe she'll destroy it on a whim.Copy !req
287. If you care for the fate of Earth,Copy !req
288. leave here as soon as possible!Copy !req
289. That did it!Copy !req
290. He believed the whole thing!Copy !req
291. Must... Must I flee?Copy !req
292. Even though I know what evils we face, must I do nothing but ignore them?Copy !req
293. Well, you don't need to blame yourself.Copy !req
294. Just leave!Copy !req
295. I want to fight!Copy !req
296. But, alone...Copy !req
297. I can't do anything against a foe like this alone...Copy !req
298. Who's alone?Copy !req
