Is that Kuboyasu over there?
What's he doing standing in a place like that?
Well, it matters not.
Organizational Chart in Kaidou's Head He's quite the promising young man.
If he so wishes, I can turn him into a first-class soldier.
When the time comes to do battle with Dark Reunion,
he may very well be a valuable asset.
He—
Don't * with us, punk.
Hey, you think "Sorry" is enough to let you off the hook?
Ow! You broke my arm! I bet it'll cost a million yen to fix it!
Did you hear that?!
A million yen!
What's going on?! They're totally shaking him down!
But now that I've seen this, I can't just let it be.
Just wait.
I'll go get a man who can help!
Please forgive us!
Hey, wait, I'm a man! I gotta go help him!
I sincerely apologize.
Stop it. He's gonna die!
Eek! Forgiv—
Wh-What's going on? Witness
Kuboyasu is...!
Oh boy... Witness of the Witness
Did what I saw this morning really happen?
To think that Kuboyasu was hiding such great fighting power...
No, thinking back, lots of things were weird about him.
wuz here gimme the lowdown, homies! When he first transferred here,
he scribbled "wuz here" and "gimme the lowdown, homies!" on the blackboard.
During the school festival, he said he spilled ketchup on himself,
but it smelled pretty funky for ketchup.
And there's that "!?" thing that sometimes shows up above his head.
You can see that?
Something on your mind, runt?
Don't startle me like that, you *!
Oh? You know, you can talk to me for advice.
I can't think of a worse person to get advice from.
Well, the thing is...
You're listening to him?
Do you think Kuboyasu—
Oh? What about me?
Kuboyasu!
Oh, hey, transfer student.
What're you talking about?
Kuboyasu Through Kaidou's Eyes Let me in on it.
Was he always this scary?
Um, it was nothing important, sir.
"Sir"? Hey, what's with the formal talk?
You're acting strange today.
Did something happen?
Like, you saw something scary?
What's wrong? Are you stupid?
You're one to talk! I just felt a little dizzy!
Hey, isn't he acting weird?
- Hey! Don't lean on him! That's rude! Give him some space, idiot! - I-I guess.
Huh? I have no idea what you're talking about.
You—
Oh, sorry.
Hey! Stop it!
A-Are you okay?
It was no big deal. I'm fine.
Hey, apologize to him, Nendou!
Well, my nose was itching.
Oh, it got on your face.
You blew your nose in that!
Oh, it's fine.
Kuboyasu... He's not getting mad after all of that.
Could someone so restrained really be a delinquent?
Don't worry about it.
He's on the edge, though.
Forget it. We have PE class next. Let's get ready for it.
Yeah. I must be mistaken.
Kuboyasu isn't that kind of guy.
There's no way a guy who changes like a girl would be a delinquent.
It must've been someone else I saw.
Hey, Kuboyasu! Why're you changing like a girl?
Hey, wait!
Hey, give that back to me!
He's totally different from the neck down!
We're playing baseball in PE today.
Yeah?
He... he must like to lift weights.
Yeah, someone so good-natured can't be a delinquent.
Why is he looking at the bat like it was his old partner?!
It's like he's thinking "I never thought I'd use you to actually play baseball"!
- Next batter is Kuboyasu! - Kuboyasu...
Are you a delinquent after all?!
You look just like one when you squat like that,
but you're not, are you?
Kuboyasu! Are you okay?!
This is bad! If he really is a delinquent, there's gonna be a huge fight!
Hey, were you trying to hit him?!
You wanna rumble?
We aren't here to fight each other,
but to play baseball, right?
No outs, runner on first base. Let's continue the game.
Why is he talking like a delinquent who found baseball and went straight?!
It's raining! Everyone, inside the building!
Tch. We could've won.
Please take me in
You're alone too, huh?
That sounds like a delinquent too!
And an abandoned dog right when it suddenly rains?!
There's no other conclusion. Kuboyasu is a delinquent!
I can't believe he pretended to be a regular person and hid his dark side. What a guy!
Isn't that the background you give yourself?
I'll keep my distance from Kuboyasu from now on.
Besides, he is just an ordinary human, after all.
If I unleash that power, he'd instantly become nothing but ashes.
Show it to me then.
Hey, Saiki. Do you wanna go eat—
Hello, guys!
Hey, I know we just met, but can we borrow some money?
Hold it, man.
Okay, no running from you, either.
What? Oh no...
Crap. We're getting shaken down by delinquents!
We said we want money!
Hand it over already!
We've stepped into some trouble.
This is bad!
They go to that big delinquent school!
Saiki's scared...
Well, of course he is.
Should I use it? No, this power is too dangerous.
Don't just stand there, dumb*!
Shun!
Get him!
Take this!
Shun!
What's the deal?
We've hit him at least a hundred times.
How the hell is he still standing?
Is he immortal?
What're you guys doing?
Hyakkimaru?!
Looks like quite the party here.
I think my pal wants in too.
Wait! If you hit him with that, he'll die! Hyakkimaru!
Actually, I'll go for this guy!
H-Huh? M-My arm...
Hyakkimaru!
I've had it.
Sorry, but it's too late now. You only have yourselves to blame.
As a parting gift for your netherworld trip,
I'll show you my power, Black Beat's—
Hey! Hey, are you listening?!
It's too late... you idiots.
Weak... Humans are too feeble.
Hey! Hand over your money already!
It's time to leave la-la land, Shun.
Huh? I thought I took you guys d...
Huh?! Are you making fun of us?!
Where's Hyakkimaru?
What the hell are you talking about, dumbass?
There's always a Hyakkimaru type in delinquent manga,
but he was never here.
I get it now! That was all just in my head!
Are you trying to mock us?!
No, calm down. If I was just fantasizing, there's no Hyakkimaru.
These small fry are nothing!
Stop *ing around, bastard.
What?! You're gonna use that thing?!
Hey, where's your wallet?
Th-They're too dangerous!
And this had to happen when I was with Saiki!
If he weren't here, I'd just hand over my money!
Seriously?
But I can't look lame in front of him!
I'll take them on!
I'm actually tired of seeing how lame you are.
I don't have it!
I-I don't have any idea of who wouldn't have a wallet.
Yup. Tired of it.
Whoa! There's quite a bit in here.
- You a rich kid, huh? - Yeesh. I wonder how much coffee jelly that could've bought.
Give us yours too already.
Hey! Wasn't mine enough for you?!
You shut your trap!
Your friend gave us his wallet. You'll do the same, right?
Huh? Wh-What'd you do that f—
Oh... Now you've got the idea.
Well, it's all yours.
I cursed you to have blood seep out of every pore in your body three months from now.
Take this as an apology.
Okay, thank you v—
We're getting outta here, Saiki!
Hold it!
Let go of me!
What's with this guy?! He's super slow!
He's a slow runner. Is he trying to get caught?
But sorry, Kaidou. I'm gonna keep running.
Hold it, you bastard!
This is a good chance to stop playing friends.
You're gonna run off and leave your friend behind?!
Saiki... Good, at least Saiki was able to get away.
Good grief. I guess this won't work.
He stopped!
He cares about his friend, huh?
I'm tired of hiding it. I'll show him... my true self.
...Or so I thought, but I think I'll just leave things to this guy.
Hey, what're you guys doing?
Th-This is...
Kuboyasu! Good timing!
He may not look it, but he's super strong! If I ask him...
Oh? Are you a friend of theirs?
Kuboyasu! Don't just stand there!
What?
Run already!
There's no way that I can ask him!
I'm just playing a little with these guys.
How can I ask him for help
after I thought I needed to stay away from him?
Hurry up and run with Saiki!
I can knock down these guys in an instant!
Hey, don't get *y!
- You bastard! - Sorry, Kaidou.
Hey, hey. You think we'd let you go?
The truth is, I used to be a delinquent too.
I thought I was wasting my life,
so I decided to go straight when I changed schools.
Y-You bastard!
But regular folks have it even tougher than delinquents, don't they?
I can't hold myself back when someone picks a fight with me.
Or when, like now...
Wh-What?!
...someone's hurting my friends!
K-Kuboyasu...
This would've been a touching story if not for his growing body count.
What? You knew?!
Of course I did. You thought you could deceive my Divine Magic Eyes?
Really? I thought I blended in completely.
That means... he told me to run when he knew?
I don't care about your past.
What's important is right now... and the future, right?
Yeah!
What a wimp.
Use your X-ray vision! Which card has Yumehara on it?
X-ray vision!
Find out later in the episode!
As the manager is ill with hay fever, we are closed for today. We apologize for the inconvenience. What? They're closed today?
Hey, you made us walk thirty minutes to get here! What's the deal?!
Huh?! Hey listen, the manager has hay fever.
Hay fever can be pretty nasty. They had to close the place!
I'm blaming you, not the manager!
Well then, I'm going home now.
Then let's go somewhere else.
Hey! There's an arcade! Let's go there.
How is an arcade a replacement for ramen?!
Like I said, what can we do?! The manager has hay fever!
Do you have any idea how terrible hay fever is?!
Not the point!
If you can't have ramen, you'd pick somewhere else to eat, right?!
That's it. I think it's about time we throw down!
This peaceful everyday life was boring me anyway. Let's settle this!
At the arcade!
You two sure get along.
The arcade, huh? I wonder how long it's been.
- I enjoyed the place as a kid, so my mom would often take me there. - Hey! Don't run!
My favorite game was whack-a-mole.
It's a simple game where you just hit the moles that pop up.
Though once I hit one, it never came out from its hole again.
Aw yeah! I'm leaving everyone in the dust!
What? Huh? It's not going to the right.
Put some money in.
What's the deal?! Is it broken?!
It's your head that's broken.
What's the matter?! Is that all you can do, you damn zombies?!
They called me Double Bullet on the battlefield! I'll show you my—
What?! I ran out of bullets!
Hey! I'm reloading!
Hey, I just hit you! I know I hit you!
This is stupid.
This game is totally unrealistic.
Well, it is a game.
You totally * at that.
What?! Do you want a fight?
Bring it on! I'll beat the crap out of you!
So? What game are we playing?
There's no way I'd lose against you in any game.
But well, let's play this quiz game since it's right here.
You really want to win, don't you?
Well, if you want a game nearby, why not the one you're leaning on?
Great going there.
W-Well, maybe we should just have Saiki decide?
What? I thought you said any game!
Don't drag me into this. Good grief.
Air hockey. The one who gets nine points first wins.
All right! Let's do it!
I've played air hockey a few times, but today,
I'm up against Nendou, the ultimate jock.
If I don't take him seriously, I'll lose. Now, how should I proceed?
Game start!
Hitting the puck straight is the fastest,
but he's likely to block with his wild reflexes.
Just hit it already.
I'll confuse him using the outer wall!
That's standard play.
Tall Hammer Shot!
Wh-What?!
It was so fast that I couldn't react at all!
Haha! What's the matter?
I picked it at random, but Nendou might have too big of an advantage.
Kaidou can't beat Nendou when it comes to athletics.
Dammit! At this point...
Ha! The same attack?!
It's too slow! Take—
Hey, you have two hitting things!
Behold my impregnable Double Mallets!
That's against the rules.
And Nendou broke through easily.
What?!
What's the deal? That was nothing.
Dammit!
What's wrong?
Well, I can't find the puck. Is it on your side by any chance?
Meteor Smash!
That was dirty.
Looks like the puck was on your side after all!
Hate to interrupt your celebration, but that was cheating.
Eh, whatever. I guess I'll overlook it, otherwise this'll be a one-sided game.
After that, Kaidou kept confusing Nendou with his smart (lol) plays.
Ah! Teruhashi!
The puck got cracked. Maybe we should call an attendant.
Hey, Manager!
Triple Mallets!
Triple Mallets featuring a Bag!
He continued to score despite the difference in their abilities.
- There! There! There! There! - However, Nendou fought back.
After a fierce back-and-forth, it came down to match point.
The fight has reached its climax.
Not too bad. But it's all over now.
Take this! Zigzag Attack!
What?! Th-This is...!
It's too fast!
The momentum is gone! I got—
Ha! I got it!
He fell for it!
Go! Mallet Bullet!
He played dirty to the end!
Game set.
All right! I won!
How do you like that?!
And don't say I cheated.
A win is a win, no matter what!
I lost, dammit!
What?
I lost completely.
I never thought of blocking with those hitting things.
Why am I feeling guilty?!
Nendou wins.
Huh, I didn't use my powers at all this time.
No matter. It's unscrupulous to meddle in a match between two men.
All right, then! Let's do that thing!
Now, come on, Saiki!
Why do I have to?
These guys are hopeless.
Where's that idiot?
Huh, I guess I haven't seen him today.
Oh, I haven't bought this week's Jump. Can we stop by the store?
Welcome!
Nendou?!
Oh, hey, guys.
Are you... working here?!
Oh, I didn't tell you? Well, I just started yesterday, though.
Nendou's working? This can't go well.
Is he gonna be okay?
No.
Agreed.
Well, it's just a convenience store, so maybe he can hack it?
Hey, a convenience store job is hard work.
Displaying and replenishing products, cleaning...
handling packages and utility payments, frying chicken...
There are a ton of things to remember!
You know a lot. Have you worked at one before?
Yeah, for a bit, after I wrecked my motorcycle.
Welcome!
He got a customer.
How about we say 500 yen in total?
What?! You're guessing the cost?!
He can't even use the register!
Hey! Use the register!
Well, I want to,
but when I tried using it earlier, it broke on me.
Then use the one next to it! I'll do it!
Sir, I'll ring you up over here.
That'll be 777 yen, please.
Hey, three sevens! You're lucky!
As a prize, I'll give you this fried chicken.
Don't do that!
Your change is 333 yen. Thanks for coming!
Hey, did you just give him 333 yen back for 1,000 yen?
Here, I'm buying Jump.
Why are you asking for my age?! This is Shounen Jump!
Hey, Nendou. Are they your friends?
Oh, Manager.
I apologize for using the register.
You're Nendou's friend, right? I trust you.
I owe my life to him.
He helped me when I collapsed after having a heart attack a week ago.
I asked him if I could do anything in return, and he said
he was looking for a part-time job.
I see. So that's why.
Nendou, I'm really grateful to you. Thank you.
You're fired.
You broke the register three times and the copier twice.
Your register is short 32,858 yen.
We've received 27 complaints.
I'm sorry, but as it stands, I'll end up having to forfeit the life you saved.
Too bad. That was a super fast track that only exists in fiction.
Oh well... That's okay, since I've got another job.
What?
Another job?
Hey, Riki! You're early!
- You're pretty fired up, huh? - A ramen shop?
It's a ramen shop.
I just came in early because I got fired from my other job.
Well, it was my bad since I made lots of mistakes.
And I look like this too.
You idiot! Stop mumbling and get ready already!
We're gonna open shop!
Listen good, Riki.
Everyone makes mistakes at first.
Your looks don't matter, either!
What's important is your spirit!
As long as you've got spirit, I'll stand by you!
Spirit... huh...?
You're fired!
Here.
This is what you worked to save up for, right?
I know you like them.
That's not what I wanted!
My mom's birthday is coming up next week. That's why I need money.
Your mom's birthday?
Yeah. Since I don't have a dad, Mom supports the both of us.
She works all the time, and yet still makes meals for me too.
You get how much I appreciate it, right?
So to show my thanks, I thought I'd get her a present.
Oh? Why are you guys crying?
They're idiots.
I-I'm not crying!
S-Speaking of which, the restaurant in front of the train station is hiring.
Why don't we all go apply?!
Oh? Yeah!
I'm going home.
I'll introduce three new staff members to you.
Kaidou,
Kuboyasu,
and Rikii.
Nendou didn't get hired!
Hey, this is bad! We only applied to help Nendou out!
I totally forgot! Of course no restaurant would hire someone with his looks!
Hey! Let's work hard together!
Who the heck are you?!
It's fine.
There's no way that Nendou would pass the interview as he is,
so I intervened.
Oh, hey, I didn't notice you were here, pal.
Right, Rikii Nendou?
I made it so that he appears totally different to people.
Of course Nendou himself doesn't know it.
Hey, Rikii!
Don't suddenly start using my first name, geez...
I changed his name to Rikii on his resume too.
Rikii!
The water! You're pouring water on that guy!
I'll leave the rest to you guys.
We are really sorry!
Why do we have to fix a total stranger's mess—
I-I'm so sorry!
Why'd you have to * up too?
Hey you, part-timer! These fries didn't come with ketchup!
Fix it already, idiot!
You're useless, seriously.
Okay, I'll go get some... from your nose!
Don't mess with me, you bastard!
Manager! It's the new employees!
Even with my help, they're still hopeless.
Use your X-ray vision! So Saiki likes me after all!
Yeah, no.
It usually takes place during winter.
A school event that makes you want to kill teachers wearing a bench jacket...
Everyone, gather around! We're holding a marathon today!
This is the worst!
- That's right. I mean a marathon. - Seriously?!
School used to be easier!
- For me, this is the easiest event since all I need to do is run. - Hey, can I hold you?
I can use my pyrokinesis to keep warm too.
Once we start running, we'll be warm in no time!
Hairo! Where's your track suit?
Aren't you cold in that?!
I'm fine! I've even got sleeves today too!
Does that matter?
He's right. It gets a little cold and you all start whining.
Kaidou! Are you okay in that?!
I'm sure the fleece bandages help.
- I'm sleepy. - Let's just ignore this idiot over here.
Nendou! Would you like to run with me today?
Oh? Sure.
Nendou... It's finally time to settle this once and for all!
This will be my revenge for the physical fitness test!
It's warm over here.
It's like there's a furnace.
You'll run ten kilometers!
There are checkpoints with teachers every two kilometers.
If you cheat or slack off, we'll know immediately!
Sorry, Saiki, I'm going on ahead.
I'm gonna let out my true power a bit. You can meet me at the goal!
Ready... Start!
Follow me, you mere mortals!
Hey...! Wait...! What?
Fools... Running so fast from the start will just... drain all your... stamina...
You can meet me at the goal. There's something I need to do.
Okay, I'm in 45th place.
I'm right in the middle of all 90 students running.
All I have to do now is maintain this place to the finish line.
1-km Point Currently 1st Place
Good, I don't see him.
If I keep this pace up, I'll beat Nen—
Hey, slow down.
What?!
I went to buy a drink and you were gone.
A drink?! He left to buy a drink and still caught up with me?!
It's important to rehydrate when you exercise.
Corn potage?!
This warms me right up!
Dang it!
2-km Point: Hairo passes through the checkpoint. All right! Eight kilometers left!
Already the first checkpoint?
I should make myself sweat a little.
Saiki... Aren't you going too fast?
I'm impressed he's kept up despite having zero athletic ability.
Just get in!
Isn't taking a taxi a little extreme?
- Don't worry about it! We'll just get off right before the checkpoint. - Oh, it's the Three Stooges...
Where to?
2 kilometers towards—
The school.
What?!
You can meet me at the goal.
So there is a "go back to start" in real life too, huh?
Thus, Saiki uneventfully passes the 4-km point.
After that, he stayed in 45th place and reached the 6-km point.
Good work! Four more kilometers! 6-km Check- point
I feel like he's at every checkpoint.
Strange... There are suddenly more dropouts.
What's going on?
See, Saiki?! I told you they'd get tired, didn't I?
Not as much as you though.
My pace got messed up.
I'm out of stamina because I tried to keep up with Hairo and Nendou!
Good grief.
Looks like the front runners tried to match Hairo and Nendou's reckless pace and got exhausted.
Saiki... Look how many people are worn out. We should rest too.
As it stands, I'll end up placing pretty high.
I guess I have no choice.
What's happening? My exhaustion is completely gone!
Saiki, I've awakened! I'm gonna keep running!
- First place is mine! - I just turned back time on your body.
Oh why?! My body suddenly feels light!
- Don't underestimate the power of a sports nation! - When time is reset, naturally so is exhaustion.
You guys too. Break time's over.
Now, return to life, zombies!
The first place student is coming!
It's Hairo! No... What's that?
- What'd you eat yesterday? I had stew. - What's the deal?!
- He's running backwards, and I still can't catch up! - Oh? Are we already at the goal? All right! Let's go!
Is he really human?!
I can't keep up! I can't run anymore! I lose... I...
...won't lose!
Whoa! Over there! It's popular manga author Shuuichi Asou!
Oh? Where?
Goal! First place, Hairo!
Hey, where is he? Actually, who's Asou?
Second place, Nendou!
I won...
Are you satisfied with that, Hairo?
Huh? Saiki?
Weird... I thought there was a bigger gap between us.
The gap would've been much larger if I hadn't fully restored everyone.
Well, the real amazing one here is Matsuzaki.
Okay, guys! Good job!
Tell that to yourself.
Well, I did get 45th place as planned, so no matter.
44th place, Saiki!
Strange... I thought there were 44 people ahead of me.
Did I pass someone?
Y-You're going too fast.
Incidentally, the girls' marathon was held on a different day.
They'll have food at the checkpoints, right?
I haven't been jogging at all lately.
For a perfect beautiful girl like me, a marathon is a piece of cake!
I'm Kokomi Teruhashi.
Thank you very much for watching The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.
What? "Kusuo"? It's not "Kunio"?
Well, I guess it doesn't matter.
Next time, you can see me visit Saiki's house and go to karaoke with my class, huh?
Now, the "Oh..." Festival is about to start!
