00:00A girl's butt is a lot colder than I thought it'd be.
00:04But right now, that's not important.
00:12Foyamura!
00:13What's your problem? Chill out!
00:16You're freaking me out!
00:18Kazushige Sanda.
00:20What? Why are you doing this?
00:22Seriously, what's the deal? We were cool a second ago?
00:25At least I thought we were.
00:27We both came to school early, like we said we would.
00:30Then we cleaned the gunk from the window track because it always sticks.
00:33Just co-class reps happily unsticking a window.
00:39Or not.
00:45Are you mad because I did a half-ass job?
00:49I dreamed of being straddled by a girl or being passionately chased around by one, but this is nuts!
00:54She's trying to kill me and I don't know why!
00:57What did I ever do to Fuyamura?
01:13So friggin' cold!
01:18Morning!
01:19Morning.
01:20Good morning!
01:21You class reps are here early.
01:23Sex to be you!
01:24Later!
01:29You should watch your back today.
01:31At some point, I will kill you.
01:34Hmm.
01:35I'm gonna kill you.
01:361
01:372
01:382
01:393
01:404
01:415
01:425
01:435
01:445
01:455
03:18And in all that time, I've never seen her smile. Not even once.
03:22Maybe puberty's the same for guys and girls. One day you're awkward, the next you're surly. That's gotta be it.
03:29You should watch your back today, because I will kill you.
03:34Translated into puberty's, that means...
03:37Before the day's over, I'll confess my true feelings.
03:40Look! I'm onto her now! She wants to make me her boyfriend!
03:44Friend! This might be the greatest day of my 14 years on Earth!
03:48Sanda, you're so dumb you'll be dead by the end of the day.
03:54Huh?
03:54If Fuyamura's got a big knife and tries to stab you with it, that means she wants to kill you!
03:59We should go tell the teacher about this.
04:01Wait! Hang on! She's shy and I don't want to spoil this for her!
04:05Look, man. Do you have any idea what kind of mental state she's gotta be in right now?
04:10She's probably a total mess ever since Ono died.
04:13Oh, yeah. It's been a week since she was declared dead. I had no idea they were that close.
04:20Yeah, well, they were. Those two were pretty much joined at the hip.
04:24Aw, man. If that's the deal, all the more reason for me to be there for her.
04:29Yeah, whatever. Take my word for it or don't, but you should avoid being alone with her today.
04:35Thanks for being so worried about me!
04:43I mean, August is one thing, but for it to be this cold in late December? That's crazy.
04:49I heard this was pretty normal back in the day. No wonder Christmas isn't a thing anymore.
04:55Christmas?
04:56Yeah, today, the 25th of December. From what I've been told, it was a day little kids got presents from a guy whose name was Santa.
05:04Some big old dude with a white beard.
05:06Wow. I never heard that one.
05:09Sounds creepy to me.
05:10Anyway, it's so cold. Put your jacket on.
05:14Nah, cold weather doesn't bother me at all.
05:23It's snowy. I can't believe it.
05:26It's real snow. No wonder it's freezing today.
05:30Santa! Yo! What's wrong?
05:33I don't know. It just feels like...
05:36It's probably because you're frozen. Here, put this on.
05:39No, I'm fine!
05:40Where's this pain coming from?
05:42Feels like my heart's swelling.
05:51My heart's pounding so fast, it feels like I'm gonna die!
05:55Does...
05:56Does this...
05:58Does this mean Fuyumura's the girl I'm destined to be with?
06:04Okay, let's go. Bring it on.
06:06I'm ready for whatever fate wants.
06:10Sanda.
06:11What is it?
06:13Give me your eraser.
06:15Eraser?
06:16Oh, you forgot yours.
06:18Sure.
06:19I know you're feeling sick, but thanks for attending the class rep meeting.
06:24Uh, it's no big deal.
06:25I'm not the kind of guy who would chicken out at this point.
06:28Why are you being so nice to me after I threatened you like that, hm?
06:32Huh?
06:37Is it cause you're a descendant of Santa Claus?
06:41You always refuse to put on our academy's red tracksuit.
06:45Bet it's cause you're scared.
06:47Others will find out.
06:48What?
06:49I'm descended from Santa Claus?
06:51Are you kidding?
06:52Come on.
06:53Give me that eraser already.
06:55Okay.
06:58You met most of the conditions to break the curse.
07:02Ignoring danger to yourself, you show affection and kindness to a child on a snowy December 25th.
07:09And you gave a child something they asked for.
07:13Performing those two acts was just the start, Sanda.
07:17It worked.
07:20And what do you know?
07:21I still count as a child.
07:23Hang on!
07:24Sure, sometimes people just get sick out of nowhere and have heart palpitations.
07:29But sometimes that's a sign their latent abilities are about to appear.
07:33There's so many conditions that have to be met for it to happen.
07:36Most people just write it off as poor health and never reach their potential.
07:41To break your curse, there's one more condition to be met.
07:46You have to wear something that's red.
07:49What?
07:49I have no idea what you're talking about.
07:52For real.
07:53A gift?
07:54A child?
07:55All this is is you blowing whatever I did out of proportion.
07:58And that's it!
07:59I don't know a thing about Santa Claus.
08:01It's just a stupid legend.
08:03A fairy tale.
08:04Want to know why I did what I did for you?
08:06It's because I have a crush on you.
08:08I was waiting for the perfect moment to tell you how I felt.
08:11But thanks to you, the whole thing's been ruined, you jerk!
08:14Give me back my heart!
08:16You don't know what you're talking about.
08:18Everything you do, you do because of your instincts.
08:22As Santa Claus!
08:23Hold it!
08:24Would you listen to what I'm shouting?
08:27How about you put on this red jacket first?
08:29Then we can have a talk.
08:30No way!
08:31I hate the color red and besides...
08:33Come on!
08:35Bayamura!
08:36Why are you so freaking obsessed with this Santa Claus guy?
08:40All right.
08:41We can do this the other way.
08:43You will wear something red, Santa.
08:53I can't believe you stabbed me.
08:57Oh, God.
09:03Oh, wow!
09:05So pretty!
09:06Dying alone without anybody knowing is a scary thought, Santa.
09:13But Ono didn't die.
09:15One day she just vanished, and six months later, when they couldn't find her, they wrote her off as dead.
09:21She always stayed inside with her nose in a book.
09:24She couldn't have been killed outside.
09:26Chiori Fuyumura.
09:29That's such an amazing name.
09:31Yeah?
09:32Way before we were born, Japan had the spring, summer, fall, and winter.
09:37And they say the scenery used to change along with every season.
09:40As someone so quiet with skin that's white as snow, your last name, meaning winter village, fits you perfectly.
09:46But deep down, you have expressions that are as different as those seasons were.
09:50You're colorful.
09:53And when we hang out together, I get to enjoy all the seasons.
09:57So here, Merry Christmas!
10:00You're the only one I ever met who's still hung up on this old tradition.
10:05But I didn't get you anything.
10:07Next year, let's spend December 25th together again and wish each other a Merry Christmas!
10:12And give presents to each other!
10:14Either someone from this school is holding Ono prisoner, or she really is.
10:22Santa?
10:23Hey!
10:24Turn into Santa!
10:25If you don't, you'll die!
10:27To do what he does for kids, Santa's capable of awesome things!
10:30That kind of power is just what I need right now!
10:33I can find Ono with that kind of power!
10:36I don't want you to die!
10:38If you do, I'm screwed!
10:40You are my only hope to get her back, Santa!
10:42If I give up, that means Ono really is dead!
10:47So I can't!
10:49I promised her!
10:51I told her we'd spend Christmas together this year!
10:54I know how much she would have loved to see the snow fall on Christmas Day!
10:59I wanted to give her a present!
11:02I miss you, Ono, so much!
11:09Merry Christmas!
11:12Merry Christmas!
11:13Merry Christmas!
11:14Merry Christmas!
11:15Merry Christmas!
11:16Merry Christmas!
11:17Merry Christmas!
11:18Merry Christmas!
11:19Merry Christmas!
11:20Merry Christmas!
11:21Merry Christmas!
11:22Merry Christmas!
11:23Merry Christmas!
11:24Merry Christmas!
11:25Merry Christmas!
11:26Merry Christmas!
11:27Merry Christmas!
11:28Merry Christmas!
11:29Merry Christmas!
11:30Merry Christmas!
11:31Merry Christmas!
11:32Merry Christmas!
11:33Merry Christmas!
11:34Merry Christmas!
11:35Merry Christmas!
11:36Merry Christmas!
11:37Merry Christmas!
11:38Merry Christmas!
11:39Merry Christmas!
11:40Merry Christmas!
11:41Ho-ho! Ho-ho-ho!
11:55Sander...
11:58Awww!
12:00I thought the Sander Family curse would be locked away with me!
12:03I can't believe this.
12:05How'd you know what it took to break the curse for you, Mora?
12:08You stuck me good.
12:11It'll heal. The bond between Santa and a child who believes in him is unbreakable.
12:18A little wound like that'll heal fast.
12:20And who's this child? Is it you? Don't make yourself out to be so innocent.
12:25Come on. Who are you? And how the hell did you know who I am?
12:29You're really him? Santa Claus?
12:35Even though she's 14, she's got to be at least 5'11".
12:40But now, looking down at her, she seems younger.
12:44The Fuyumura standing in front of me is just a little girl.
12:47Help me, Santa! I beg you! I gotta find Ono!
12:52Am I feeling plain old kindness? Or Santa's instincts?
12:57All I want to do is put a smile on this child's face.
13:01All children should be smiling. I promise.
13:06I will find her.
13:10And just like that, a snow-white curse crash-landed on my childhood.
13:14Is this that presbyopia thing I read about?
13:25Dang it.
13:26It's clear far away, but blurry up close.
13:30My voice hadn't changed yet and was so cute.
13:33I was so cute, my nickname was Happy Cheeks.
13:36How long are you going to stay locked in there, Santa?
13:41You trashed the building and now everyone's outside freaking out.
13:45So chaotic, no one's going to notice a half-naked old dude wandering the halls.
13:50This is bad.
13:57What is?
13:58My whole deal was having a smooth, cute face.
14:01But now I'm rugged and not cute! Who am I anymore?
14:04You don't even know how messed up those words sound coming out of that face.
14:08I'm still 14! What if I can't change back?
14:11If I'm stuck as a big, burly Santa forever, my life will be hell!
14:14You'll change back soon enough.
14:16The important thing is you hurry up and keep your damn promise.
14:19I want my looks back first!
14:20Looking for a classmate who's gone missing takes priority!
14:25Crap.
14:26What's that?
14:28They're called bratty beans and they help calm me down and I really need them right now.
14:33Whenever I get angry, please always do the trick.
14:36It's like when adults smoke a cigarette.
14:40Wait.
14:42Suddenly I can see things up close again.
14:45I've been eating bratty beans forever, so it's become kind of a habit.
14:49Thanks to this junk food that's full of additives and no nutritional value, I changed back to myself!
14:55Well, class, yesterday was scary, huh?
14:59They blame the explosion on the building being so old.
15:02So we're going to have class here in the science lab for a while.
15:06Anyway, we'll be picking up right where we left off last time.
15:09Let's talk with the person next to us about what we'd wish for, okay?
15:14Fuyumura, I've been thinking about something.
15:17I know I did promise you and all.
15:19But I'm not sure how much use I'll be helping you look for Ono.
15:24Only thing I do know is I'm a descendant of Santa Claus, but I have no idea what I'm capable of.
15:30Besides, it's anyone's guess when or if I'll ever change again.
15:34Honestly, I'm freaking out!
15:36You don't need to worry about any of that, because I've already got a plan in place.
15:41Plan?
15:42I planted a bomb somewhere in this room.
15:45And it's set to go off in one hour.
15:48You could use your powers to find it, or you could get everybody out of the room.
15:52You could even force me to tell you exactly where I put it.
15:56Or you could just sit right back and wait for it to explode.
15:59Why would you plant a bomb?
16:00I'm gonna find out what Santa Claus is capable of.
16:03Consider it a test to see what abilities you have.
16:06The lives of 22 of our classmates should motivate you.
16:10I know she's not bluffing.
16:13I speak from experience!
16:16Listen!
16:17I just heard there's a bomb somewhere in this room.
16:23So, um, we should hurry and get out of here?
16:26We're having our lesson now.
16:28Please don't interrupt the class.
16:29Santa, I didn't study for the quiz either, so don't sweat it.
16:33Might as well blow up together.
16:37Yeah, I'm not surprised.
16:39I shouldn't have opened with that.
16:41Now, don't lie.
16:43There's no bomb in this room.
16:45Is there?
16:45Keep telling yourself that if you want.
16:48Guess it's better to look for it than sit here worrying for the next hour.
16:52Guess I'll find it.
16:54Teacher, the truth is, I spilled a whole box of thumbtacks in this room earlier.
16:59Would you mind if I check the floor?
17:01No, you can do that later.
17:03But I'm so worried if I don't pick them up, someone would get hurt and I just couldn't bear that.
17:09Please let me look for them now.
17:10Okay, since you want to keep a sharp eye out and keep your classmates safe.
17:15And I want you all keeping a sharp eye on the paragraphs and line break rules.
17:20What the hell am I doing?
17:23It's not going to be sitting out on the floor.
17:25Use your head.
17:27I can't believe today's lesson is writing an essay with that theme.
17:31Being the descendant of Santa Claus in a situation like this makes the assignment feel like a sick joke.
17:36Look, the truth is, the pressure's really getting to me.
17:42Everyone's so focused on their wishes, thinking about them, writing them down.
17:47And the real Santa Claus is right here, but he's totally useless.
17:51I wish I could be like everyone else, working on the assignment.
17:55But there's no going back to being a regular student anymore.
17:59I hate that my secret identity is some fat old geezer who can't even keep his promise to Foyimura.
18:05What's the point in having a Santa Claus curse?
18:09Santa Claus?
18:11How would the real one handle a situation like this?
18:15Come on, think!
18:18I know exactly how he'd handle it!
18:21Okay, time's almost up.
18:23Is everyone finished or do you need...
18:24Make a scene and I'll snap this girl's neck!
18:29Let her go!
18:30Who are you?
18:31Teach!
18:32I told you not to make a scene!
18:34I'm a thief!
18:35No, wait!
18:36I'm a terrorist!
18:37That's it!
18:38Everyone out!
18:39And I want 10 billion yen, too!
18:40Oh, you...
18:41For the kid dies!
18:42Got that?
18:43Now get...
18:44Baita!
18:46Teacher!
18:47Is he gonna kill her?
18:49No, it's going to be okay.
18:51And judging by that outrageous demand, he doesn't seem too bright.
18:55Now I want you all to go downstairs and hide.
18:57I'll go get some help.
18:58I'm surprised.
18:59I'm surprised.
19:04You're ballsier than I thought.
19:06If I can turn into this just by wearing a red jacket, then this body does have its perks.
19:11Hmph.
19:12I'm impressed.
19:14You figured it out.
19:18The bomb.
19:19You weren't kidding.
19:21I'm as serious as a heart attack.
19:23This test wasn't a joke.
19:25A Santa who can't save a room full of kids from a little bomb wouldn't be much use to me.
19:30And I would have looked for Ono myself.
19:33Yeah, but if he went through with this and set the bomb off, it would have killed the whole class along with you!
19:38I can't stand people who always bitch and moan about things that never even happen.
19:43Adults do that a lot.
19:44In the end, no one died.
19:46You should be happy about that.
19:48What the hell?!
19:49Deep down, she's nothing but a rotten little brat!
19:52I'm curious.
19:53How'd you know I had the bomb?
19:55I could hear everyone writing down their wishes, except you.
20:05I don't know if it's how the real Santa's supposed to feel, but if there's a kid who can't think of a wish, I bet he'd be worried sick about him.
20:14Especially now, because you have it so rough worrying about Ono.
20:18That's gotta be hard for you.
20:20It's why I did what I did.
20:22I was going to ask you questions to find the bomb, but I never thought you'd have it on...
20:27Hey, you listening?
20:30I can't write what I want.
20:33I know the fear of losing someone is way bigger than the happiness you feel when you're, you know, like, with them.
20:41But the happiness you'll feel when you finally see her again will be even bigger.
20:48The time you spent with Ono was the most precious in the world, wasn't it?
20:53So what we're gonna do is get that back.
20:56Hang on!
20:57Did you deactivate the bomb?!
20:59Santa's more like Santa than I ever hoped he'd be.
21:17Now I know three abilities Santa Claus has.
21:21One.
21:23He can change after putting on something red.
21:25Santa!
21:31Damn you, Fuyumura!
21:32I meant what I said!
21:34Every word!
21:36Two.
21:36Eating bratty beans turns him back into a kid.
21:39I caught your crazy!
21:41Now let's go and find Ono!
21:43I'll come down the chimney with your presents!
21:45Because I can shrug off the fire in the fireplace like it's nothing!
21:49That's a promise from Santa Claus!
21:51Free.
21:55Fire can't hurt him.
21:59Although, this does go a little beyond your average fire in a fireplace.
22:04You're not going to...
22:08Stop that.
22:10I'm going to see the lightningenas.
22:12At the time, I'm so excited,
22:14I'm so excited.
22:15I'm so excited.
22:18I'm so excited,
22:21I was the one who's got to show.
22:22I'm so excited about the feeling.
22:24I'm so excited,
22:25I'm so excited,
22:26I'm too excited,
22:27and I'm so excited.
22:29I can't know.
22:30I'm so excited.
22:31I want to see the burnings on the leaves.
22:32Oh
23:32How do I know every day?
23:35How do I know every day?
24:02How do I know every day?
