:16:04
It was done like driver's training.
:16:06
Instructors who had mastered
transformation accompanied them.
:16:10
They made sure the students wouldn't
be discovered and prevented accidents.
:16:45
Of all the possible transformations,...
:16:47
...maintaining human form required
the most concentration and energy.
:16:53
The strain and physical exhaustion...
:16:56
...manifested itself as distinctive
dark spots under the eyes.
:17:01
Even veteran transforming tanuki
have to carry ``energy boosters''...
:17:06
...to replenish
their strength in an emergency.
:17:10
Or else, they start losing human shape
or revert completely to tanuki form.
:17:16
Recently, they started using
the humans' booster drinks...
:17:20
...because they're fast-acting.
:17:24
The final part of the field test...
:17:27
...required each tanuki earn 1,000 yen
on their own using peaceful means.
:17:34
Help me...!
:17:36
Some tanuki decided to work
in teams and mimic a single human.
:17:39
You okay?
:17:40
One tanuki disguised himself as a priest
asking for donations at the train station.
:17:44
Another worked at a snack bar but
spent more than she earned on drinks.
:17:49
Then there was the tanuki who hit
the jackpot at the pachinko parlor.
:17:53
One lazy tanuki stole donation money,
but couldn't get enough.
:17:58
So he transformed leaves into money
but Old Fireball quickly saw through it.
