:27:00
We can't take care of everyone.
:27:02
Besides, for a species to survive,
only the fittest must prosper.
:27:08
In our case, regrettably, we had to
abandon those who couldn't transform.
:27:12
So they... all died?
:27:14
That's right.
:27:16
It was unavoidable.
:27:22
How tragic!
:27:24
It may be little comfort,
but unlike us, the tanuki are omnivorous.
:27:30
So they may be able to survive.
:27:33
Meanwhile, with Kincho the Sixth
absent, the tanuki at Tama...
:27:38
...met to try to find a solution
to this grave situation.
:27:42
Only the regulars were present.
:27:45
Bah! They said they had
more than one plan. What a joke!
:27:50
It was a mistake from the start
to listen to those old farts!
:27:54
I just remembered the old saying, ``Don't
count your chickens before they hatch.''
:27:59
No, not even Oshaka-sama
could have anticipated this!
:28:04
You should not criticize the Elders.
:28:07
They called that president
a ``clever tanuki.''
:28:13
Humans are so odd.
:28:14
You make this sound like
someone else's problem, Shoukichi!
:28:18
No, I'm just saying we haven't
studied the humans enough.
:28:21
Shut up!
:28:23
Our only chance is
to fight the humans directly.
:28:25
Don't be so rash, Gonta.
:28:28
I think, instead,
we should tell the humans...
:28:34
...that we were responsible
for Operation Poltergeist.
:28:38
Have you lost your mind, abbot?
:28:40
That's the one law we must not break!
:28:44
That's right. Once they know that we're
responsible, they'll never leave us alone.
:28:50
But I'm so frustrated!
:28:53
To have someone steal our
masterpiece and have to remain silent?!
:28:58
No, no! I just can't!
