:06:04
This was done to foster a natural, restful
environment for the housing project.
:06:08
Truly an unprecedented building project.
:06:14
Really, those humans are incredible.
:06:18
Up to now we thought
they were animals like us.
:06:22
With what's happening, we now realize
that they have the power of the gods.
:06:34
In response to the situation, the tanuki
clans of the Tamakyuro area gathered...
:06:38
...that night in the abandoned Manpuku
Shrine deep within Botamochi Mountain.
:06:45
By unanimous consent, a 105 year-old
Tsurugame abbot was elected chairman.
:06:53
So, that is the current situation.
:06:55
From now on, we cannot
afford to work only at night.
:07:00
We must act as situations
warrant, even during the day, but...
:07:05
Even with all the confusion, they decided
to sabotage the construction project.
:07:10
So we are all agreed.
:07:15
The tanuki quickly disbanded
because it was dangerous.
:07:18
Now that they had a plan, the clan
chiefs gathered to work out the details.
:07:23
First, the clan chiefs
decided on a five-year plan...
:07:27
... to revive their craft
and to study the humans.
:07:32
To instruct the troops, they decided
to invite the ``Transforming Tanuki''...
:07:35
...of Shikoku and Sado where
the old craft was still in practice.
:07:40
Next, they debated on who
to send as their representative.
:07:44
No one wanted to volunteer
for the hazardous journey,...
:07:47
...so they all pretended to be asleep.
:07:51
Well, we'll just have to wait until
the younger tanuki grow up then.
:07:57
No objection there!
