Grandpa's dead! He's really dead!
An Interesting and Serious Ninja Appears!
I have returned...
This is the place where Saizou-sama and I first met...
Saizou-sama is on the other side of that mountain.
Sign: Iga Ueno
Old man Saizou sure is a pain in the ***.
You said it. Feels like he's still alive because he left us with his idiot of a grandson!
Idiot! If you say that, he'll wake up right here and now.
Scary! I wouldn't put it past old Saizou though.
D-Don't tell me... Saizou-sama...
Um, p-perhaps...
Is something wrong? You look a little pale.
This funeral is Igano Saizou-sama's?
Well, he got a rice cake stuck in his throat and died like an idiot.
Saizou-sama!
So, he's really dead...
Did you know old man Saizou?
He was my first love—No, I mean we were very good friends.
Fantastic! Could you do a eulogy for us?
A eulogy?
But Saizou-sama has a grandson—
Kabamaru? Not a chance! He's a moron.
A moron? Kabamaru?

The letter I received from you after fifty years of waiting...
My body was weak, so I left Tokyo and came out here to recuperate.
I met you, a descendant of the Iga ninjas,
when I was seventeen and you were twenty.
It was a short-lived but beautiful love.
H-Hey! What are you doing?!
Why, you!
That idiot! At his grandfather's funeral...
Let's grab him and beat him to a pulp!
TL Note: Kagemaru means "shadow man," Kabamaru means "hippo man." That was Kagemaru-kun?
No, Kabamaru! TL Note: Kagemaru means "shadow man," Kabamaru means "hippo man."
These rice cakes are delicious!
Hey, Kabamaru!
Hurry up and show yourself!
What are you doing?
Crap!
There's no way you can catch Kagemaru-kun like this!
Nope, this is enough to catch him.
See, he's coming.
W-Wait! Let me out!
What are you doing?!
What are you saying?
You don't even attend your own grandfather's funeral,
and then when you do turn up, you pilfer the rice cakes, you blockhead!
Shut up! Hurry and let me out!
S-Saizou-sama!
Wh-What? Who's this old lady?!
Y-You... You're...
I'm Igano Kabamaru!
You look exactly like Saizou-sama.
What should I do? I'm feeling faint...
Forget about that! Just hurry up and save me!
Okay.
Wh-What are you doing?
That's made of iron! You can't lift it!
No, if it's for Saizou-sama's grandson, then I can!
Thanks, Granny!
What's this old lady doing?!
Shut up!
Not attending your grandfather's funeral and then behaving like this...
Don't you have any pride as an Iga ninja?
An Iga ninja's pride, huh?
Grandpa always used to say that too.
See, I couldn't believe my ears when I heard he'd died. I thought they were all lying.
But once the funeral began,
every moment I have ever shared with my grandpa flashed in front of my eyes.
How sad...
You were so stricken with grief that you couldn't even come to his funeral.
Wh-What? Let me go!
No, I won't let go!
Now, cry your heart out and come with me to Tokyo!
That's not it! The reason I'm crying is...
You're crying because...?
I'm happy that Grandpa died!
That's why I'm fine. I've always longed to be on my own.
Why do I have to go to Tokyo?
What are you saying?
I have a letter from your grandpa telling me to take care of you.
I-I don't know anything about that!
Kabamaru, she came all the way out here, so go with her to Tokyo!
No!
There are lots of delicious foods in Tokyo.
Delicious foods?
There are also lots of cute girls!
Girls?
Tokyo is huge!
Unlike this small village, you can rampage to your heart's content in Tokyo!
Is that true, Granny?
Well, I guess...
Okay! Let's go to Tokyo.
Wait! I have to visit Saizou-sama's grave first!
Not a chance! What if he gets angry?
As if I'd care about that!
Saizou-san! Saizou-san!
They just ran on out of here, huh?
Yeah. Let's go home.
Finally, the village will be peaceful.
Yeah, and our chickens will stop disappearing.
And our food!
My name is Ookubo Ran.
I am an old friend of your grandfather.
Your grandfather was a fine man.
Even though he knew how I felt about him,
he ignored my advances and focused on his training.
He ate the rice cakes that I made in such a refined manner.
That's a lie.
After I stole the village chief's son's lunch box,
and was about to eat fried shrimp for the first time...
W-Wow! Yay, yay, yay!
You fool! Feel the pain of the Iga ninja!
You're making me cry!
Cry all you want!
Crap, just thinking about it hurts my stomach...
Sorry, I didn't mean to bring up any painful memories for you...
N-No, that's not it. I'm... hungry.
That's true. You've been drowning in sorrow, so you can't help it.
We should arrive at the next train station soon.
Let's buy a station lunch there.
A station lunch?
What's that?
A lunch box that they sell at stations.
A-A lunch box?
Lunch boxes! Lunch boxes!
Wh-What?!
Kabamaru!
Wait! Give those back!
He's a strong kid.
He's gorging himself to overcome his sadness.
Just what you'd expect from someone raised by Saizou-sama.
Delicious! I can eat as much as I want now without Grandpa interfering.
This is the first time I've been allowed to eat as much as I like!
Serves you right, Gramps!
What a huge station! Just what you'd expect in Tokyo.
A car should be here to pick us up soon.
Let's hurry.
That's weird. I sense malice in the air...
What's wrong?
Um, nothing.
Well, let's go.
Not surprisingly, he almost detected me.
Wow! Tokyo is ginormous.
I can't see any mountains; it's all buildings.
Are you sad that you can't see the mountains?
Nope, I'm not sad.
How was your trip, Mistress? You look a little weary.
No, it was very fun.
If only Saizou-sama was still alive...
It's like a huge amusement park!
But like this, Kabamaru-kun, the spitting image of Saizou-sama, will stay near me.
Look, Kabamaru-kun, that's the school you'll be attending.
No one said I was going anywhere!{FD: shouldn't this be "I never said I was going anywhere!" TC}
TL Note: Kintama means testicles. K-Kintama Academy?
Please proceed to the back entrance.
Yes.
What?
Sign: All You Can Eat
Yakisoba!
Sign: Yakisoba - All you can eat for 300 yen.
I've had that before, with my little bro, Hayate. Sign: Yakisoba - All you can eat for 300 yen.
I've had that before, with my little bro, Hayate.
Did you say something, Kabamaru-kun?
No.
I wonder if Hayate is in Tokyo.
It'd be nice to see him again.
Welcome home, Director.
Oh, so you came, Vice Principal...
Thanks for your hard work.
Thank you.
Director! Your face...
I'm just weary from the journey.
But never mind that. I have a student to enroll, so please handle the proceedings.
Yes, Ma'am. And who might this student be?
This young man here...
What? Where did he go?
Kabamaru-kun? Kabamaru-kun?
Kabamaru?!
That's not his real name. It's actually Igano Kagemaru.
He'll be staying with us for a year.
Hey, Granny!
Don't decide things on your own!
I never said I would go to school.
So graceful...
Those legs are just like Saizou-sama's!
Director, that kid was...
That's Igano-kun.
I'll leave him in your care.
R-Right...
B-But...
Young lady! The mistress is home!
Okay! I'm coming!
Did something happen?
Th-There was someone weird in the tree.
Ouch...
There's nobody there.
How strange. But I'm sure I saw someone just now...
Who's that girl?
M-My face is getting hot.
My heart's beating so fast!
Why? Why?
Something's strange. Someone's here.
Kabamaru-kun, it's time for dinner!
Okay!
Mai, this is my friend's grandson, Igano Kagemaru-kun.
They said there was gonna be food but my plate's empty and there's nothing here.
Kabamaru-kun, this is my only granddaughter, Mai.
I'm Ookubo Mai, pleased to meet you.
Wh-What? What's happening?
My head is getting hot again.
M-My heart too!
What a dirty kid. What was my grandmother thinking?
What's wrong, Kabamaru-kun? You're steaming.
N-Nothing, it's nothing.
Mai goes to the same academy as you do. She's a freshman like you.
You go to Kintama Academy too?
K-Kintama?!
G-Grandmother!
Calm down, Mai.
TL Note: Kintama (testicles) and Kingyoku (Gold and Jewels) are written using the same two kanji. Kabamaru-kun, it's read as Kingyoku Academy.
It was established by my great-grandfather.
He really valued rules and regulations.
The name of the academy is taken from the term: "The Golden Rule."
Okay, grub's up!
Sorry to make you wait.
Wh-What's all this?
Why is there so much, G-Granny?
Is there some sort of festival?
There's so much delicious food!
A festival? This is our normal dinner.
Eat as much as you like.
I'll eat all of it!
How savage. He's like a barbarian or a monkey...
No, I'd be insulting monkeys if I compared them to him.
Seconds!
Why doesn't my grandmother scold him?
Even if he is her good friend's grandson, I don't like him!
Mai, Kabamaru-kun...
From today on, you'll be siblings, so please get along.
Okay.
Siblings, Grandmother?!
Do you both understand?
Yes.
From today on, you'll be siblings, so please get along.
It was a dream, huh?
It would be great if it was a dream!
Saizou-sama, I'll raise Kabamaru-kun to be a great man in your stead.
I can't eat any more, Granny.
Sign: Ougyoku Academy
Wh-What? Saizou-sama's grandson is staying with that old hag?
His name is Igano Kagemaru. His nickname is Kabamaru.
He looks just like Saizou-sama, and the director seems very pleased.
What? Just like Saizou-sama?!
This is mortifying!
I am Kabamaru!
Thanks to Granny, I've enrolled in Kintama—
Wait, wait... I mean Kingyoku Academy.
But the school's pretty weird, and so are the students!
Next time on Igano Kabamaru:
The Unexpected Star?!
Come and watch!
I can't believe how deeply I'm into you. akirechau honto anata ni muchuu
I never imagined this would happen! konna koto arienaiwa!!
I'm sure I got you with my elbow smash... elbow smash wo anata ni kimeta
so how did I still lose?! hazu nanoni watashi no make!?
The bells in my chest shamelessly... mune no beru ga hashitanaihodo

Wait! Pretty boy, if you look like a bad boy, chotto! Pretty boy mikake wa N.G. boy
my bittersweet heart might just fall in love... Sweet-ma-sen heart dake fall in love
I love you, pretty boy. It seems I've fallen for you... I love you pretty boy koishitamitai
