:02:01
I'll go tell them you're here!
:02:15
Tamasaburo!
:02:16
I've brought the Elders from Shikoku!
:02:22
Well done, Tamasaburo!
:02:33
Comrades!
:02:35
We noted the definite changes
in your mountain on our way here.
:02:39
Your plight moves us!
:02:41
Call everyone immediately.
I want to hold a big meeting tonight.
:02:47
Autumn, the 33rd Year of Ponpoko.
:02:50
Now that the Elders from Shikoku had
arrived, the meeting of the rebels began.
:02:56
'Tis a fine, fine moon out tonight.
:03:01
All ye gathered,
my name is Yashimano Hage.
:03:06
As of this year, I shall be nine
hundred and ninety-nine years of age.
:03:12
Comrades!
:03:14
Why have the humans encroached
more here in Honshuu than in Shikoku?
:03:19
It is because...
:03:20
...we tanuki have protected
our mountains so completely.
:03:25
In Shikoku, if they anger the tanuki,
the humans know the price they will pay.
:03:35
The proof is that I,
and these other two here,...
:03:41
...are enshrined in the temples
where the humans worship us.
:03:48
Allow me to introduce myself.
:03:50
I am Inugami Gyobu, leader of eight
hundred and eight tanuki in Matsuyama.
