1. A Netflix Series
Copy !req
2. It was the fall of 2017.
Copy !req
3. My uncle was hit by a truck
when he was only 17.
Copy !req
4. And since then,
had been in a coma for 17 years.
Copy !req
5. Until he woke up.
Copy !req
6. Irellars Granbahamal tona galtoeba rilex.
Copy !req
7. And he lost his mind.
Copy !req
8. Yeah. I don't understand.
Copy !req
9. Japanese?
Copy !req
10. Oh, my bad!
Copy !req
11. I was in Granbahamal,
Copy !req
12. a fantasy world where they speak
a whole different language.
Copy !req
13. Good morning.
Copy !req
14. Zalbe madira kolstonam kolstonam.
Copy !req
15. Let's take your temperature.
Copy !req
16. Del storba tona rabelt gal.
Copy !req
17. All right. I'll check on you later.
Copy !req
18. You're Takafumi, my sister's kid.
Copy !req
19. But where is… everyone else?
Copy !req
20. Well, our family had a huge falling out
because of you.
Copy !req
21. What to do with you
while you were in a coma…
Copy !req
22. And let me tell you, it wasn't cheap.
Copy !req
23. My mom said she didn't want to see you.
Copy !req
24. Icuras cuora.
Copy !req
25. - Okay.
- Huh?
Copy !req
26. I'll prove Granbahamal is real.
Copy !req
27. Uh, you really don't—
Copy !req
28. War-grent seld.
Copy !req
29. Okay.
Copy !req
30. War-grent magna!
Copy !req
31. War-grent rald!
Copy !req
32. - This is just sad.
- War-grent neld!
Copy !req
33. War-grent gad! War-grent pad!
Copy !req
34. - Hey, Uncle?
- War-grent larch!
Copy !req
35. Money has been a little tight lately.
Copy !req
36. So I brought some documents
for you to sign.
Copy !req
37. And after that, they're going
to send you somewhere
Copy !req
38. - to help you get back on your feet.
- Wind, carry!
Copy !req
39. - What the hell?
- Wind, return it.
Copy !req
40. Of course, it's Japanese here.
Copy !req
41. It's all real.
Copy !req
42. Hold on, now. Did you just say
you were sending me away somewhere?
Copy !req
43. - Nope, I didn't.
- You sure?
Copy !req
44. - Yeah, yeah. So, what was that?
- Mmm. It's magic.
Copy !req
45. Fire.
Copy !req
46. Whoa. Awesome. Wait.
How are you doing that?
Copy !req
47. Ah, it's nothing.
Copy !req
48. I wanna know if SEGA won the Console Wars.
Copy !req
49. Huh?
Copy !req
50. SEGA? Now?
Copy !req
51. Well, these days, Sony and Nintendo
are the biggest console makers.
Copy !req
52. Huh? No SEGA?
Copy !req
53. - Is this important?
- SEGA.
Copy !req
54. Well, they, uh, stopped making consoles.
Copy !req
55. Icuras cuora.
Copy !req
56. Hey, Uncle. What does "icuras cuora" mean?
Copy !req
57. Oh. It's a memory erasing spell.
Copy !req
58. So I can forget sad things.
Copy !req
59. SEGA was that important?
Copy !req
60. There were a lot of sad times
in Granbahamal.
Copy !req
61. Wanna see?
Copy !req
62. Uh, yeah.
Copy !req
63. Oh, God, no.
Copy !req
64. Make me forget.
Copy !req
65. It's sad, right?
Copy !req
66. Spirits of memory,
deliver unto oblivion.
Copy !req
67. I guess SEGA meant a lot to him.
Copy !req
68. A week later,
Copy !req
69. my uncle was discharged.
Copy !req
70. So we decided to find a way
to make some money off his powers.
Copy !req
71. We started by uploading videos to YouTube.
Copy !req
72. But we only earned
about 60,000 yen in ad revenue.
Copy !req
73. YOU'RE FINE THE WAY YOU ARE
Copy !req
74. I've been meaning to ask you,
why do you have such a big place?
Copy !req
75. Uh, I was living with someone,
but it got complicated.
Copy !req
76. Like, with a lover?
Copy !req
77. - Not like that.
- Okay.
Copy !req
78. Listen, they were just a roommate. Get it?
Copy !req
79. - Nah.
- Huh?
Copy !req
80. Roommates
weren't a thing back then?
Copy !req
81. Whoa. You looked that up really fast.
Copy !req
82. What a tiny computer.
Copy !req
83. Yeah. Huh?
Copy !req
84. That is so weird.
Copy !req
85. You finding a friend
to live with you here.
Copy !req
86. Uncle? So, tell me, what were people like
in the other world?
Copy !req
87. What about your friends?
Copy !req
88. Uh. I flew solo pretty much
the entire time I was there.
Copy !req
89. Ugh.
Copy !req
90. I see.
Copy !req
91. All the people
in the other world were really hot.
Copy !req
92. You'd trip over beautiful people.
Copy !req
93. Oh, really?
Copy !req
94. I must have been hideous.
Copy !req
95. They hunted me down like I was an orc.
Copy !req
96. Uncle, hold on.
Copy !req
97. - And they would—
- Stop!
Copy !req
98. I'm just trying to wash the dishes
right now, man.
Copy !req
99. Ah, it wasn't like that every day.
Copy !req
100. But there was one girl
who was really aggressive—
Copy !req
101. Tell me this later!
Copy !req
102. She would show up every day
to harass me to my face.
Copy !req
103. No matter what I did to prove myself,
she would treat me like garbage.
Copy !req
104. That's awful.
Copy !req
105. Even in a fantasy world,
that stuff happens.
Copy !req
106. When we first met, I saved her from
a monster and she didn't even thank me.
Copy !req
107. Oh, what was her problem?
Copy !req
108. Right?
Copy !req
109. She was like,
Copy !req
110. "Nobody asked
for your help. Don't touch me!"
Copy !req
111. Then I said, "I didn't save you just
to hit on you.
Copy !req
112. How stuck up are you?"
Then she's all like,
Copy !req
113. "I'm the only one
who can even stand
Copy !req
114. to be around your orc face
without puking, you four-eyed jerk!"
Copy !req
115. She was just
really mean to me every day, all right?
Copy !req
116. I ditched her in a city and then ran off.
Copy !req
117. Don't touch me!
Copy !req
118. I don't need your help.
Copy !req
119. I'm the only one who can stand your
orc face without puking, four-eyed jerk.
Copy !req
120. The tsundere archetype
wasn't established until 2004.
Copy !req
121. Four years after my uncle was in a coma.
Copy !req
122. What happened to her?
Copy !req
123. Huh? I don't know.
Copy !req
124. If I'm being honest, things weren't
that great for me in the other world.
Copy !req
125. But, coming back here,
Copy !req
126. the Internet, fiber lines, "wii-fii"…
Copy !req
127. It's all great!
Copy !req
128. And people around the world love my—
Videos?
Copy !req
129. Huh?
Copy !req
130. EVEN A 5TH GRADER LIKE ME
CAN TELL HOW FAKE THIS IS.
Copy !req
131. SUCH AMATEUR EDITING.
IS IT A BAD JOKE?
Copy !req
132. Hmm?
Copy !req
133. It was then that my uncle fell…
Copy !req
134. into a new fantasy world,
known as the Internet.
Copy !req
135. Huh? How does he know my face is red?
Copy !req
136. - Am I on camera?
- It's Internet slang.
Copy !req
137. And I'm never writing my own comments!
Copy !req
138. Hey, don't worry. It's just a joke.
Copy !req
139. Hey, why are they writing a bunch of W's?
Huh?
Copy !req
140. He still needs to learn about trolls.
Copy !req
141. I want this phone.
Copy !req
142. It doesn't flip, it spins!
Copy !req
143. But it's 2G.
Copy !req
144. Huh? So I buy it
through this online auction, right?
Copy !req
145. The problem is, it uses an old network,
Copy !req
146. so I don't think
you could even make calls.
Copy !req
147. But it spins.
Copy !req
148. Yeah, but how would you get in touch
with your old friends?
Copy !req
149. Takafumi, do you think a man
Copy !req
150. who committed himself to SEGA
truly deserves to live a full life?
Copy !req
151. Why is he letting a game system
dictate his life so much?
Copy !req
152. Well, this one
looks like the cheapest price.
Copy !req
153. You already looked it up?
Copy !req
154. Man, those little smartphones
are really fast.
Copy !req
155. You could always learn to use one.
Copy !req
156. Touching, swiping, pinching…
Copy !req
157. I'd prefer to have
a bunch of buttons to push.
Copy !req
158. - I guess.
- They don't make new versions
Copy !req
159. of the cool phones that slide open
or spin anymore, do they?
Copy !req
160. It's innovation.
Everything is touch screens.
Copy !req
161. A lot happens in 17 years.
Copy !req
162. You know, I did some technical innovations
of my own in the other world.
Copy !req
163. Oh, yeah?
Copy !req
164. Hmm. I made a pot that overflowed
with water to stop a village's drought.
Copy !req
165. Whoa! How?
Copy !req
166. I used two spells—
Copy !req
167. It'll just be easier
to show you how I did it.
Copy !req
168. Icuras elran.
Copy !req
169. Oh. Whoa.
Copy !req
170. Is this one of your memories?
Copy !req
171. There are these spell-cards,
charged with magic.
Copy !req
172. With a lot of work, I managed to reverse
the electrolysis process to create water.
Copy !req
173. You beat modern science!
Copy !req
174. Wow. You must have blown all their minds!
Copy !req
175. I mean, I bet all those villagers
were cheering your name.
Copy !req
176. Nah.
Copy !req
177. They tried to hang me.
Copy !req
178. They destroyed the pot.
Copy !req
179. I guess what I did was sacrilegious.
Copy !req
180. Stop!
Copy !req
181. Someone rescued you.
Copy !req
182. It was that awful woman.
Copy !req
183. What? That's her?
Copy !req
184. Yes, I know he has an evil face.
Copy !req
185. It's like an orc's.
Copy !req
186. I understand why you wouldn't trust him,
but I promise—
Copy !req
187. War-grent grakka.
Copy !req
188. Ugh. Good grief.
Copy !req
189. And that's pretty much it.
Copy !req
190. I get it.
Copy !req
191. First-person view
is hard to follow.
Copy !req
192. Hey, what's that?
Copy !req
193. Hmm. I can swipe here
to rotate the camera around.
Copy !req
194. - Yep, there we are.
- You can do that?
Copy !req
195. - Pinch in to zoom out.
- Whoa.
Copy !req
196. You weren't kidding.
You were being hunted.
Copy !req
197. Oh. Can we see, uh,
what happened to that girl?
Copy !req
198. Yeah. I'll pinch out to zoom in.
Copy !req
199. That coward…
Copy !req
200. He ran away?
Copy !req
201. Loser.
Copy !req
202. She saved you and she's hot?
Copy !req
203. - Yeah, I know. I'm a coward.
- What?
Copy !req
204. My auction!
Copy !req
205. There's no time!
Copy !req
206. No, no, no!
Copy !req
207. I'm bidding!
Copy !req
208. Wait! How much is delivery?
Copy !req
209. CONGRATULATIONS! YOU WON!
Copy !req
210. BID WON - 1,600 YEN,
SHIPMENT FEE - 2,000 YEN
Copy !req
211. My God. 2,000.
Copy !req
212. Their address is on some remote island.
Copy !req
213. There's no fee if you meet them
to get the phone in person.
Copy !req
214. Huh?
Copy !req
215. Uncle!
Copy !req
216. I'll be back.
Copy !req
217. Oh.
Copy !req
218. 30 MINUTES LATER
Copy !req
219. I'm home.
Copy !req
220. Question.
Copy !req
221. Could you pick up these headphones for me?
Copy !req
222. - Where are they?
- Kumamoto.
Copy !req
223. Five minutes.
Copy !req
224. And this sofa?
Copy !req
225. Uh, that looks really heavy.
Copy !req
226. I will give you a shoulder massage.
Copy !req
227. Oh. Yeah, okay.
Copy !req
228. That's how Uncle learned to bid online
without paying shipping fees.
Copy !req
229. Thanks!
Copy !req
230. Hey, I would have gone
to pick that up for ya.
Copy !req
231. It was free. I have Amazon Prime.
Copy !req
232. Is there a box cutter?
Copy !req
233. - Here.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
234. Where did this come from?
Copy !req
235. My storage spell.
Copy !req
236. By the way, that thing can kill dragons,
so be careful.
Copy !req
237. That's so cool.
Copy !req
238. Did you bring anything else back with you?
Copy !req
239. Well, a lot.
Copy !req
240. Like a magic sword.
Copy !req
241. - Argh!
- My deposit…
Copy !req
242. - I also have precious metals.
- What?
Copy !req
243. This stone is a mermaid tear,
crystallized by magic.
Copy !req
244. And the band was carved
from rainbow coral.
Copy !req
245. In the other world,
you could buy a castle with this.
Copy !req
246. Sell them! Sell them all!
Copy !req
247. - Fifty yen.
- Huh?
Copy !req
248. I took them to a pawn shop.
Copy !req
249. And they told me 50 yen.
Copy !req
250. It's too rare.
Copy !req
251. Hmm. We're not getting
as many views as I thought.
Copy !req
252. I need a new idea.
Copy !req
253. - Uncle?
- Huh?
Copy !req
254. So, I'm guessing you had this because
you were going to give it to someone?
Copy !req
255. No. It's just a commemorative trophy.
Copy !req
256. You have to beat a pretty hard dungeon
to get one of them though.
Copy !req
257. I see.
Copy !req
258. You want to talk about love?
Copy !req
259. No. I doubt you ever had a romance
in the other world. No, thanks.
Copy !req
260. Yes, I did.
But I've been alive over 30 years.
Copy !req
261. I've gotten plenty of action.
Copy !req
262. My first love was in elementary school.
Copy !req
263. Who was she?
Copy !req
264. Sonic and Tails.
Copy !req
265. What?
Copy !req
266. I'd go to the toy store
every afternoon
Copy !req
267. to watch the video demo play.
Copy !req
268. That title screen was so cute,
I never got tired of it.
Copy !req
269. Do you have people stories?
Copy !req
270. Hmm? Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
271. There was this girl, named Kaede Nanase.
Copy !req
272. She was killed by war.
Copy !req
273. Then her brain was transferred
into an evil cyborg body.
Copy !req
274. She attacked me
after I hunted down the Seven Force.
Copy !req
275. She's the boss of level three,
and takes on five…
Copy !req
276. This man had no life outside of games.
Copy !req
277. Were— Were there any nice girls
in the other world?
Copy !req
278. - Oh, sure.
- Really?
Copy !req
279. Icuras elran.
Copy !req
280. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
281. I managed to save her
from that awful monster.
Copy !req
282. It looks more like she's sacrificing
herself to protect her brothers.
Copy !req
283. Pretty cool, right?
Copy !req
284. I think we got ambushed by goblins
or something soon after this.
Copy !req
285. - What?
- I fell off a cliff. Never saw her again.
Copy !req
286. That must have been terrible.
Copy !req
287. Huh? Those, uh— Those kids are
looking a little suspicious back there.
Copy !req
288. I should look at what attacked me.
Copy !req
289. I'm sure it was a goblin.
Copy !req
290. - Yeah?
- Oh, yeah. Definitely.
Copy !req
291. Well, whatever it was almost killed me.
And that awful woman showed up.
Copy !req
292. - Really?
- I hate to admit it, but she saved me.
Copy !req
293. But why?
Copy !req
294. Why save me?
Copy !req
295. I did you a favor.
Copy !req
296. You're in my debt.
Copy !req
297. Now you'll spend the rest of your life
trying to repay me.
Copy !req
298. The rest of my life?
Copy !req
299. Huh?
Copy !req
300. I— I didn't mean it like that.
Copy !req
301. It's not like we're going
to be together forever.
Copy !req
302. Stop it! Stay right there.
Copy !req
303. I don't have much to pay you with.
Copy !req
304. - What about this?
- Huh?
Copy !req
305. It's a cosmite ring,
one of only seven in the whole world.
Copy !req
306. Hey, stop! What are you doing?
Copy !req
307. It should fit.
Copy !req
308. Uh. Uh, w-w-wait a second.
Copy !req
309. - This is too fast.
- You don't want it?
Copy !req
310. What? Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
311. I do.
Copy !req
312. Did he just propose to her?
Is that allowed?
Copy !req
313. From her reaction, it looks like they have
the same marriage customs as us
Copy !req
314. in the other world.
Copy !req
315. At least it seems so.
Copy !req
316. Of course I did.
Copy !req
317. I even got the ring appraised for her
in the next town.
Copy !req
318. Oh, come on, Uncle!
Copy !req
319. Oh, no. Is this the town you said
you managed to lose her in?
Copy !req
320. Nah, she hung around after this.
Copy !req
321. You know, I think she wanted my money.
Copy !req
322. I put it all in the bank.
Where are you going next, huh?
Copy !req
323. What? You're resting here?
What a coincidence. So am I!
Copy !req
324. She's persistent.
Copy !req
325. Anyway, these rare items
are all shockingly easy to use.
Copy !req
326. And you could put that dagger in here too.
Copy !req
327. Uh, sure.
Copy !req
328. UNCLE!
Copy !req
329. Uncle's brand new video
broke over 2,000,000 views.
Copy !req
330. I'M ALIVE
Copy !req
331. Fall, 2017.
Copy !req
332. My life with my uncle just got
a whole lot more interesting.
Copy !req
