WEBVTT 00:01:20.835 --> 00:01:22.212 This cat is super cute! 00:01:22.212 --> 00:01:26.925 - Come here, you pretty-whitty kitty! - People often ask if you're a cat person or a dog person. 00:01:26.925 --> 00:01:29.219 But for me, I couldn't care less. 00:01:29.219 --> 00:01:31.304 No matter how "pretty-whitty" the cat or dog is... 00:01:31.805 --> 00:01:33.515 ...all I can see is this or this. 00:01:33.515 --> 00:01:35.809 Now, let me ask. Do you like the bones on the left? 00:01:35.809 --> 00:01:37.185 Or the bones on the right? 00:01:37.185 --> 00:01:39.062 You couldn't care less, right? 00:01:39.062 --> 00:01:41.981 - Look how happy it is! - Some people might pick based on general personality traits. 00:01:41.981 --> 00:01:45.819 - Super cutie-patootie voltage to the max! - Like dogs being smarter or cats being friendlier. 00:01:45.819 --> 00:01:47.654 But those are just baseless preconceptions. 00:01:48.154 --> 00:01:50.949 Don't touch me so casually, female Homo sapiens. 00:01:50.949 --> 00:01:52.033 Those are his real thoughts. 00:01:52.033 --> 00:01:54.369 - Maybe it's hungry. Let's give it a snack! - Since I can read animals' minds with telepathy, 00:01:54.369 --> 00:01:55.829 I wonder if I have anything... they don't have any general personalities to me. 00:01:56.579 --> 00:01:58.039 Summer or winter, I prefer winter. 00:01:58.039 --> 00:01:59.666 Mushrooms or bamboo shoots, I'd say mushrooms. 00:01:59.666 --> 00:02:02.836 But with cats and dogs, the question is too broad to answer. 00:02:02.836 --> 00:02:05.505 It's like being asked if you prefer the name Satou or Suzuki. 00:02:10.635 --> 00:02:12.011 Hey, wait! Don't leave! 00:02:12.011 --> 00:02:13.805 - Human over there! Stop! - Good grief. 00:02:14.556 --> 00:02:16.099 That's one cold human. 00:02:16.099 --> 00:02:18.935 He sees a cute animal like me in a bind and totally ignores him. 00:02:18.935 --> 00:02:20.520 Now, get me out already. 00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:23.022 If you're lucky, I could even take a liking to you. 00:02:24.941 --> 00:02:27.819 - Hey, wait! Wait! - Good grief. What a pain. 00:02:27.819 --> 00:02:29.612 What's with him? 00:02:29.612 --> 00:02:31.114 Don't tell me he's a dog person! 00:02:31.114 --> 00:02:33.700 I was neither, but now I'm leaning towards dogs. 00:02:33.700 --> 00:02:36.744 And do you want me to help you or not? Which is it? 00:02:37.412 --> 00:02:38.580 What's with this guy? 00:02:38.580 --> 00:02:40.665 He hasn't said a word but I can still hear his voice. 00:02:40.665 --> 00:02:43.084 I know you can. I've been talking directly into your mind. 00:02:43.084 --> 00:02:44.252 It's not like I can speak cat. 00:02:44.252 --> 00:02:45.336 Maybe he's actually a cat? 00:02:46.296 --> 00:02:46.880 He's not. 00:02:46.880 --> 00:02:48.965 What? But this makes it easy. 00:02:48.965 --> 00:02:51.801 That's right. All you need to do is ask for help. 00:02:51.801 --> 00:02:53.136 Now, help me! 00:02:53.136 --> 00:02:55.221 If you're lucky, I could even take a liking to you! 00:02:55.847 --> 00:02:57.182 Wh-What? 00:02:57.182 --> 00:02:58.725 Wait! I get it! Let's make a deal! 00:02:58.725 --> 00:03:02.187 If you get me out of here, I'll let you pet me all you like for three minutes! 00:03:02.187 --> 00:03:03.146 You can even touch my p— 00:03:03.146 --> 00:03:04.105 And he's gone again! 00:03:04.105 --> 00:03:05.148 Wait, wait!

Just listen to me! 00:03:07.483 --> 00:03:10.111 Why are you acting so stuck-up? 00:03:10.111 --> 00:03:13.114 Is it so hard for you to ask for help? 00:03:13.114 --> 00:03:14.866 Ask for help? 00:03:14.866 --> 00:03:16.993 Don't make me laugh! Do you know what I am? 00:03:17.493 --> 00:03:20.914 I am a cat! A proud, elite creature! 00:03:20.914 --> 00:03:23.791 Why should I have to beg to a lower life form like humans? 00:03:23.791 --> 00:03:25.084 What is he going on about? 00:03:25.084 --> 00:03:28.504 You humans may think you're above us, but face the facts! 00:03:28.504 --> 00:03:32.508 Humans will serve us food while we do nothing but lie around! 00:03:32.508 --> 00:03:33.635 That's not all! 00:03:33.635 --> 00:03:35.762 - Even when we knock over a trash can... - Oh, you... 00:03:35.762 --> 00:03:36.471 We're forgiven! 00:03:36.471 --> 00:03:38.723 - Even when we hit the reset button on a game console... - Oh, you! 00:03:38.723 --> 00:03:39.349 We're forgiven! 00:03:39.349 --> 00:03:43.019 - Even when we spill ink all over work that's so close to the deadline... - Oh... you... 00:03:43.019 --> 00:03:43.937 We're just barely forgiven! 00:03:44.312 --> 00:03:46.356 The world revolves around us cats! 00:03:46.356 --> 00:03:48.775 The world is ruled by us cats! 00:03:48.775 --> 00:03:50.276 Hey!

If only I could stay home and have some peace and quiet. 00:09:42.003 --> 00:09:44.839 I hope I can live happily with my wife again this year. 00:09:44.839 --> 00:09:47.341 What? Why are you praying to me? 00:09:47.341 --> 00:09:49.176 Hey, what are you talking about? 00:09:49.176 --> 00:09:50.803 You're my goddess. 00:09:50.803 --> 00:09:53.431 - Oh, stop that, honey! - The new year greets me with the smug face of a middle-aged man. 00:09:54.890 --> 00:09:56.267 Prayers, huh? 00:09:56.267 --> 00:09:59.145 I can get anything I want by myself, so nothing comes to mind. 00:09:59.145 --> 00:10:01.981 I don't even believe in God or Buddha or the like in the first place. 00:10:02.648 --> 00:10:05.151 Please let me win something like 200 million yen in the lottery! 00:10:05.151 --> 00:10:06.861 That's not what you prayed for earlier. 00:10:06.861 --> 00:10:09.071 Please, Lord God! Lord Kusuo! 00:10:09.071 --> 00:10:11.240 You're actually asking me, aren't you? 00:10:11.782 --> 00:10:12.950 Oh well. 00:10:12.950 --> 00:10:15.119 I guess I can spare a second to pray too. 00:10:15.119 --> 00:10:18.039 Please let me have a quiet New Year's. 00:10:18.497 --> 00:10:20.291 Okay.

Make up your mind. 00:10:59.580 --> 00:11:01.290 - It's such a surprise! - Okay, first off, Nendou isn't my friend. 00:11:01.290 --> 00:11:04.960 Yeah. Who would've thought someone like Kusuo would make two friends! 00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:06.420 No, that's not what I meant. 00:11:06.420 --> 00:11:11.008 I prayed that Kuu will make lots of friends! 00:11:11.008 --> 00:11:12.927 My prayer has already been answered! 00:11:12.927 --> 00:11:14.679 Tell them to answer my prayer too. 00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:17.348 Oh!

Indubitably! 00:11:58.556 --> 00:12:01.851 So you decided to compromise on your act by going half way. 00:12:01.851 --> 00:12:02.810 You sound dumb, you know. 00:12:02.810 --> 00:12:04.061 Oh?

Do you want to play tennis?! 00:13:20.095 --> 00:13:22.932 Oh? I've never played before, but I bet I'd be pretty good at it. 00:13:22.932 --> 00:13:25.768 Everyone's prayers keep getting answered, one after another. 00:13:25.768 --> 00:13:28.979 Well, it's probably all just a coincidence. After all... 00:13:29.772 --> 00:13:32.316 ...my prayer hasn't been answered at all. 00:13:38.906 --> 00:13:41.200 By the way, Nendou, have you gone to pray yet? 00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:43.202 Oh, you mean the bell ringing and stuff? 00:13:43.869 --> 00:13:45.871 Okay then, I'll go do it. 00:13:45.871 --> 00:13:46.747 You're going too? 00:13:47.248 --> 00:13:49.250 I doubt I'll run into anyone else today, but... 00:13:49.250 --> 00:13:50.751 Don't ask for anything weird, okay? 00:13:51.168 --> 00:13:52.586 All right! 00:13:57.132 --> 00:13:59.301 Okay! Let's go get some ramen! 00:13:59.301 --> 00:14:00.302 What ritual was that? 00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:04.098 You just rang the bell. 00:14:04.098 --> 00:14:05.891 Here, I'll show you how to do it. 00:14:06.225 --> 00:14:09.061 Now first you throw money in here, 00:14:09.061 --> 00:14:11.188 and then you ring the bell. 00:14:11.188 --> 00:14:14.191 After ringing the bell, you bow twice. 00:14:14.191 --> 00:14:17.111 Then you clap your hands twice and say a prayer. 00:14:17.111 --> 00:14:19.697 I hope Kusuo finds a nice girlfriend! 00:14:19.697 --> 00:14:22.408 - Wait, what did you just pray for? - You bow one more time and you're done! 00:14:22.408 --> 00:14:24.952 - No, it can't be. All of this has just been coincidence. - Oh! Can you show me that again? 00:14:24.952 --> 00:14:27.162 - What? Um, sure thing. - Besides, Dad already made a wish. There's no way it'll happen. 00:14:27.162 --> 00:14:28.581 First, you throw money in here. 00:14:28.581 --> 00:14:29.707 - Oh, could it be? - Then you ring the bell. 00:14:29.707 --> 00:14:31.959 - Cut it out. I don't need to look to know who said that. - After that, bow twice, and... 00:14:31.959 --> 00:14:33.961 Oh, Saiki, what a coincidence! 00:14:33.961 --> 00:14:35.963 To think I ran into him at a place like this. How lucky! 00:14:35.963 --> 00:14:37.464 I mean, lucky you, Saiki. 00:14:37.464 --> 00:14:39.592 The year's just started and the whole cast is here? 00:14:39.592 --> 00:14:41.802 What?

I'll just come back some other time. 00:15:18.380 --> 00:15:20.466 I don't have anything to pray for. 00:15:20.466 --> 00:15:25.137 I just came here to bring happiness to those who came to the shrine. 00:15:25.137 --> 00:15:25.971 Is she playing a god? 00:15:25.971 --> 00:15:28.140 The first dream, laugh, and "Oh..." of the year, right? 00:15:28.140 --> 00:15:29.141 What is a first "Oh..."? 00:15:29.141 --> 00:15:32.061 Okay, then!

Thank you very much! - What an awful dream to start off the year. 00:15:49.870 --> 00:15:53.040 Everyone, thank you for being such good friends with Kuu. 00:15:53.040 --> 00:15:55.501 No need for thanks!

Finally some quiet. 00:16:12.851 --> 00:16:15.854 Honey, you probably shouldn't have said that. 00:16:15.854 --> 00:16:18.315 So, what are you going to do about this, God? 00:16:18.315 --> 00:16:20.401 What do you mean, "psychic powers"? 00:16:21.568 --> 00:16:23.278 Honey, you should say something. 00:16:23.988 --> 00:16:26.782 Calm down. This is nothing to panic over. 00:16:26.782 --> 00:16:28.826 For example, if your friend's mom were to say, 00:16:28.826 --> 00:16:31.036 My son Ken is a psychic! 00:16:31.036 --> 00:16:33.789 ...how do you think you'd normally react? 00:16:33.789 --> 00:16:34.331 The answer is... 00:16:35.374 --> 00:16:38.419 ...written right on their faces. No one would take it seriously. 00:16:38.419 --> 00:16:41.255 - Not to mention, it's coming from my mom here. - You know what? I saw a UFO with a floral pattern yesterday! 00:16:41.255 --> 00:16:44.091 Panicking would just make them more suspicious. 00:16:44.091 --> 00:16:46.969 All we need to do is keep calm and change the subject. 00:16:46.969 --> 00:16:47.845 Right... 00:16:48.345 --> 00:16:51.849 Are you guys familiar with the Shounen Jump logo? 00:16:51.849 --> 00:16:54.101 You know, that pirate symbol. 00:16:54.101 --> 00:16:55.769 Yeah, I know it. 00:16:55.769 --> 00:17:01.316 If you turn it 90 degrees, it looks like the profile of a girl. 00:17:01.316 --> 00:17:02.818 Just wanted to point that out. 00:17:03.736 --> 00:17:05.821 How are you going to fix this mood? 00:17:05.821 --> 00:17:08.365 You just made everyone feel more awkward. 00:17:09.116 --> 00:17:10.909 Whoa! Cool! It really does! 00:17:10.909 --> 00:17:12.327 Here, look at this! 00:17:12.327 --> 00:17:13.662 - You're right! It does! - Nendou... 00:17:13.662 --> 00:17:15.539 - Good grief. Looks like he saved me. - She's wearing a skull hair clip. 00:17:15.539 --> 00:17:17.791 - I can't unsee it now no matter how many times I look! - He managed to move the conversation on. 00:17:17.791 --> 00:17:18.917 True, true. 00:17:18.917 --> 00:17:20.419 So, what was that psychic stuff about? 00:17:20.419 --> 00:17:20.961 Get out. 00:17:20.961 --> 00:17:25.049 - Did you know that a female sunfish lays about 300 million eggs at a time? - You get out too! 00:17:25.049 --> 00:17:26.050 I guess it's up to me. 00:17:27.342 --> 00:17:29.136 Oh no! I'm so sorry! 00:17:29.136 --> 00:17:29.678 Are you okay?! 00:17:29.678 --> 00:17:34.141 - Oh no! I'll bring a dishcloth right away! - You could say I literally "washed away" the problem. 00:17:34.141 --> 00:17:35.059 But... 00:17:35.059 --> 00:17:36.935 ...it might have been a little too late. 00:17:48.739 --> 00:17:50.657 Thank you for dinner! 00:17:50.657 --> 00:17:52.910 We're forever in your—thank you. 00:17:52.910 --> 00:17:55.120 Come by again any time, okay? 00:17:55.120 --> 00:17:57.664 I didn't expect Saiki's parents to be so cheerful. 00:17:57.664 --> 00:17:58.540 Yeah. 00:17:58.540 --> 00:18:01.126 Still, have you no manners?! 00:18:01.126 --> 00:18:02.628 You sure made yourself at home! 00:18:02.628 --> 00:18:06.215 What?! You were the one talking all funny. What was that about?! 00:18:06.215 --> 00:18:08.550 Now, now. It's New Year's. Let's not ruin it by fighting. 00:18:08.550 --> 00:18:15.307 Anyway, I wonder what Saiki's mom meant by him having psychic powers. 00:18:15.307 --> 00:18:17.684 Oh, that. Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. 00:18:17.684 --> 00:18:19.686 - Good grief. We couldn't undo the damage after all. - That made things kinda awkward, didn't it? 00:18:19.686 --> 00:18:21.438 She was probably joking, 00:18:21.438 --> 00:18:23.398 but they suddenly changed the subject. 00:18:23.398 --> 00:18:25.526 - Dad shouldn't have done that. Sheesh. - Yeah, it was definitely odd. 00:18:25.526 --> 00:18:28.278 Well, Saiki's mom is a little weird. 00:18:28.278 --> 00:18:30.280 But since they tried so hard to change the subject, 00:18:30.280 --> 00:18:33.325 - My mom is weird, but I don't want to hear it from you. - I thought it might be true for a second. 00:18:33.617 --> 00:18:34.493 Don't be silly. 00:18:34.493 --> 00:18:35.619 You read too much manga. 00:18:35.619 --> 00:18:36.453 Look who's talking. 00:18:36.453 --> 00:18:37.371 I was just kidding. 00:18:37.371 --> 00:18:39.832 Well, I'm going this way, so we'll part here. 00:18:39.832 --> 00:18:41.542 Oh, I'm headed that way. 00:18:41.542 --> 00:18:44.086 I'm going this way. So I'll bid you farewell here. 00:18:44.086 --> 00:18:46.004 Oh? Which way is my place again? 00:18:46.004 --> 00:18:46.880 How should we know? 00:18:46.880 --> 00:18:48.757 Okay, I'll see you guys at school! 00:18:49.800 --> 00:18:52.177 Now, what should I do? 00:18:52.177 --> 00:18:56.098 At this point, no one really believes I'm a psychic. 00:18:56.098 --> 00:18:58.350 But it's definitely embedded in their memories. 00:18:58.684 --> 00:19:00.060 Happy New Year! 00:19:00.060 --> 00:19:00.769 Same to you! 00:19:01.436 --> 00:19:02.646 Hey, Saiki! 00:19:02.646 --> 00:19:05.691 We're back to our boring school life again... 00:19:07.526 --> 00:19:09.570 I guess I can't blame him, 00:19:09.570 --> 00:19:11.738 considering what happened on New Year's. 00:19:11.738 --> 00:19:13.198 I never would have thought Saiki... 00:19:13.198 --> 00:19:16.827 Kuu's had very few friends because of his eighth-grader syndrome. 00:19:17.661 --> 00:19:21.623 The ignorant masses often mistakenly accuse me of the same thing. 00:19:21.623 --> 00:19:24.001 So I understand exactly how you feel. 00:19:24.001 --> 00:19:27.296 Rest easy. From now on, I'll support you as a kindred spirit. 00:19:27.296 --> 00:19:28.630 Saiki! 00:19:30.048 --> 00:19:33.010 This is a sign of our sworn friendship! Don't forget it! 00:19:33.010 --> 00:19:35.137 Good news. I can't forget what I have no memory of. 00:19:35.137 --> 00:19:38.056 This is the other drawback: memory replacement. 00:19:38.056 --> 00:19:39.641 - When I erase a memory, it leaves behind an empty space. - Kuu's had very few friends because of his psychic powers. 00:19:40.934 --> 00:19:44.188 When that happens, the human brain's repair mechanism 00:19:44.188 --> 00:19:46.481 - automatically fills that space with a different memory. - Kuu's had very few friends because of his eighth-grader syndrome. 00:19:46.565 --> 00:19:49.985 How the memory is replaced varies from person to person, so I can't predict the result. 00:19:49.985 --> 00:19:51.528 Oh, Saiki... 00:19:51.528 --> 00:19:53.864 I haven't seen him since New Year's. 00:19:53.864 --> 00:19:57.409 But I was surprised to learn that Saiki... 00:19:57.409 --> 00:20:01.121 Kuu's had very few friends because of his trust issues. 00:20:01.121 --> 00:20:03.040 ...has trouble trusting people! 00:20:03.040 --> 00:20:06.168 It depends on the person, so naturally, each remembers something different. 00:20:06.168 --> 00:20:09.421 I bet he had his heart broken by a girl he liked. 00:20:09.421 --> 00:20:13.383 But now I know why he's "No-Oh" around me. 00:20:13.383 --> 00:20:18.680 Don't you worry. This goddess will melt your fro-zen-heart! 00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:21.016 When a memory is replaced, it can be for the better 00:20:21.016 --> 00:20:23.936 or the worse, like in this instance. 00:20:24.728 --> 00:20:26.980 Hey, Saiki! About New Year's... 00:20:28.815 --> 00:20:30.359 Well, you can't blame him. 00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:33.278 I never knew he had something that like that in his past... 00:20:33.278 --> 00:20:36.031 Kuu used to be the captain of the tennis club, but he was obsessed with winning, 00:20:36.031 --> 00:20:38.951 and the other club members felt the gap in their enthusiasm levels, so they all quit. 00:20:38.951 --> 00:20:40.577 So that's why he's had very few friends. 00:20:40.577 --> 00:20:41.870 Your memory sure is long. 00:20:43.121 --> 00:20:44.748 Nendou... 00:20:44.748 --> 00:20:48.252 I don't know what he remembers, but it's clearly not anything good. 00:20:48.252 --> 00:20:51.338 By erasing his memory, I somehow made him more attached to me than before. 00:20:51.338 --> 00:20:53.382 Why don't you come watch tennis practice some time? 00:20:53.382 --> 00:20:55.968 Saiki, don't you sense a distortion in this world? 00:20:55.968 --> 00:20:58.345 Kuu... I spoke like his mom. 00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:02.099 I guess I can't beat God. 00:22:34.149 --> 00:22:37.652 Good grief. Hairo was the only one who said "Happy New Year," 00:22:37.652 --> 00:22:41.156 even though it's the phrase you should hear in every New Year's show. 00:22:41.156 --> 00:22:43.909 Next time on The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. the anime... 00:22:43.909 --> 00:22:46.495 Coming up after the New Year's episodes, it's a special event, 00:22:46.495 --> 00:22:48.622 and a new character debut.
