There's only one way for us
to continue to live and remain united...
:31:06
...while utilizing the power we
demonstrated in Operation Poltergeist.
:31:12
Our operation has overwhelmed
the humans and won their admiration.
:31:17
But unfortunately, a human who claimed
to do the impossible took the credit.
:31:23
So what can we do about it?
:31:30
How would you make this stand on end?
:31:34
As you know,
this is how Columbus did it.
:31:41
Well done!
:31:44
Do you have a solution
as brilliant as this?
:31:48
From now on, we must live as humans
who perform these impossible tricks.
:31:54
You gotta be kidding!
:31:57
Oh no, this is not a joke!
:32:00
But what about those
who can't transform?
:32:02
Chairman!

808 Tanuki Appeal
:32:11
Abbot Tsurugame stole out of the room...
:32:13
...so the meeting adjourned
without discussing Kincho's proposal.
:32:18
The unity of the tanuki
began to collapse.
:32:22
While some concentrated on gathering food and caring for family,...
:32:26
...the hawkish Gonta searched the
mountain for those who would follow him.
:32:32
The Eldest tanuki, apparently senile,
gathered the non-transforming tanuki,...
:32:36
...and became the dancing,
chanting founder of a new religion.
:32:41
``This is the world of darkness,
the Ship of Mud.''
:32:44
``Chant and dance, dance.''
:32:47
``I believe in Amitabha, but he's dead.''
:32:52
Having a hale and hearty
Elder reduced to that...
:32:56
Tokyo really is a frightening place.
:32:59
If we did that in Shikoku, people
would know we tanuki were responsible.
