00:00Hello. Thank you for watching today. Today's topic is Sarutobie-chan.
00:21The story of this film is Sarutobie-chan, a petite girl who transfers to a new school in a certain town and surprises her friends with her superhuman strength, monk-like powers, and special abilities that are contrary to her appearance, but her abilities also turn her into a troublemaker and she ends up playing out a slapstick comedy.
00:43Now, let's take a look at this work.
00:46Sarutobie-chan was originally written by Shotaro Ishinomori and aired for a total of 26 episodes between 1971 and 1972.
01:02The story begins one morning when Hirooka Miekon, or Shrine Maiden, is walking to school with her friends.
01:11Suddenly, the bully, Mr. Takeshi Oyama, appears and tells them that they have to pay a toll to use the school route. They refuse to pay and the exchange of glares continues, when their classmate, Tenka Taihei, shows up.
01:27He manages to drive them away with sheer force, but then Takeshi appears with a tamed ferocious dog, and the situation turns around, with him being chased by the ferocious dog.
01:38Then, out of nowhere, a girl appears and starts talking to the dog, and the ferocious dog gradually becomes gentler, wags its tail and becomes friends with the girl. After that, she points at Takeshi, making the ferocious dog disappear, and the girl disappears somewhere.
01:56The students are then left wondering what is going on, but when they arrive at school, they are all surprised to find that the girl, or Sarutobi Koshiko, also known as Ecchan, has arrived as a transfer student.
02:10After introducing themselves, E-chan ends up sitting next to the shrine maiden, and during the break, they are chatting away by the pool when Takeshi and the others, who had been hurt by E-chan, show up to get revenge.
02:24Takeshi and his friends then try to threaten Etchan, but Etchan is able to fight back using a special magic-like technique, as she is completely synchronous.
02:37However, when the students from the sports clubs heard the commotion, they one after another challenged Etchan to test their skills, but they were no match for her and were forced to give up.
02:50In the midst of all this, Etchan has no home to return to, but he takes a liking to the shrine maiden, so he moves into her house with his dog, who has come all the way to Tokyo in search of Etchan.
03:04Etchan is a mysterious character, but after this, he finds himself thrown into a slapstick comedy that involves his friends and others, along with his special abilities.
03:14Now, let me introduce the characters who will be training.
03:23Sarutobietsuko, nicknamed Etchan, is a petite girl who speaks the Tohoku dialect and possesses superhuman abilities such as the ability to run like a ninja, the strength of a bear, and telekinesis, which allows her to move objects, as well as the ability to talk to animals.
03:38He suddenly transfers to Mitsuba Elementary School from the countryside, but for some reason he has no home to return to, so he ends up staying with his classmate, Hirooka Mieko, and becoming a boarder.
03:51In the original story, the parents are scientists and appear to be conducting research somewhere in space.
03:58I was Ecchan's pet dog, and for some reason, I could speak human language, especially Osaka dialect, but for some reason, I couldn't speak dog language and I behaved strangely like an old man, making me a very unusual character.
04:15When he finds out that Etchan has moved to the city, he follows her, but is initially confused by the fact that people run away when he speaks their language.
04:29Hirooka Mieko, nicknamed Miko, is a beautiful classmate of Ecchan, who is a bit of a tomboy.She is assertive and acts as a leader in her group of girls.
04:41In the first episode, E-chan, a new transfer student at the school, takes a liking to him, and after a few troubling moments, they end up living together.
04:49As a result, Etchan often found herself embroiled in some kind of trouble that started with her.
04:55Tenka Taihei is Ecchan's classmate, and although he is not good at fighting, he is also a judo boy who resigns to be on the side of the organizers, and in the play he often clashes with the bully Oyama Takeshi.
05:10His parents run a barber shop, so he is constantly striving to acquire hairdressing skills in order to take over the business in the future.
05:18Tenka Kurihei is Daihei's younger brother, and like his older brother, he always carries clippers with him, perhaps with the goal of taking over the family barber shop, and will try to cut long hair without permission whenever he feels like it.
05:34In the play, there is an episode where the main character gets into an argument with his brother and runs away from home, and another episode where Yoshiko, who comes from a private family, is scouted to become a future barber.
05:45Oyama Takeshi is a big, horny bully who is the boss of a group of kids. He never learns his lesson and keeps playing pranks and being mean to his classmates, including Miko, but he is always beaten to a pulp by Etchan.
06:03As a result, there are many scenes where Etchan is teased about his short height, which is what he is most concerned about, or about being short.
06:15Ms. Shirayuki is Ecchan's homeroom teacher and a kind female teacher who is loved by her students.
06:23He comes from a small island, and when his mother comes home, he can't go home because there is no transportation.
06:29With the help of Etchan and the students, there was an episode where they were able to return home by taking the Onborosesnaki and qualifying rounds.
06:37Hirooka Mieko, or Shrine Maiden, had two parents: a businessman father and a housewife mother.
06:47He has taken in two of his daughter's classmates, Etchan and Buku, who he has no connection with, and they are living with him.
06:54At first, they were surprised by Etchan's special abilities and Bukku's ability to speak human language, but before long they began to treat each other normally.
07:03As an aside, this work was serialized in the girls' manga magazine Margaret before being made into an anime.
07:14As the series was repeatedly rescued and explained, the title at the start of the series was,
07:18It was originally "That Weird, Weird, Weird Girl," but was later changed to "That Weird Girl," and finally became Sarutobie-chan.
07:27Also in 1983, Esper Ecchan was released, a story about a psychic Shajo from the future.
07:40In addition, the program structure of this work is such that each episode is not just a self-contained story, but depending on the episode, two episodes, i.e., Part A and Part B, are broadcast, which is an unusual structure.
07:54Furthermore, the 14th episode was the most unusual episode of the series, in which all the characters were introduced in terms of Iroha Garuta.
08:08In addition to these, the first episode even aired a parody episode featuring popular characters from Star of the Giants and Attack Number One, which were hugely popular at the time.
08:21Now, it's finally the final episode.
08:28A worried mother hires a detective to help her find her daughter, an American girl named Aiko, who went missing on Mt. Fuji's Mikasa mountain along with her dog, Muku. She gives the detective a photo of her daughter and her dog, but...
08:43The photo showed a girl and a dog who looked just like Etchan and Buku.
08:50At that time, the shrine maiden tries to take a Polaroid photo of Etchan, who hates having his picture taken, but he runs away, so she chases after him and finds that Etchan, who was supposed to have run away, is somehow keeping a roasted sweet potato as a pet.
09:03Then, when I asked him again if I could take his photo, he readily agreed.
09:13The shrine maiden is puzzled, but after a while the photo is finished, so she calls out to Etchan to show it to her. When Etchan sees the photo, he becomes angry at her for taking the photo without permission.
09:26Later, Taihei finds Etchan and returns the 100 yen he borrowed, but when he meets Etchan again soon after returning it, he is asked to return the 100 yen that he thought he had already returned, which makes Taihei angry and ignores him and leaves.
09:46So, in his frustration, Taihei meets Takeshi by chance and makes a promise to duel with him that evening.
09:53Meanwhile, Etchan is returning home with the shrine maiden, but when he smells the smell of pickled vegetables, he runs out of the house.
10:05So, when the shrine maiden's mother was searching for Etchan, she found him with a sweet potato seller, but when she learned that he had bought eight sweet potatoes in one day, she became worried that he was overeating, so when she questioned Etchan, he denied having bought only two.
10:24However, Ecchan is warned by the shrine maiden's mother, who does not believe the story, and as he sits in the vacant lot in confusion, detectives looking for A-ko suddenly appear and try to take her away, but Ecchan, thinking they are kidnappers, beats them to a pulp.
10:42Meanwhile, while A-ko is disappointed that she cannot see Mount Fuji, she receives a call from Takeshi at Taihei's house, urging her to come to the bloodline as promised, so Kurihei takes his brother's place, taking the clippers with him, and heads to the bloodline location.
11:00On the way, he meets Etchan, and the two of them head to the place of their lineage, but after arriving, Etchan starts crying, for some reason fearing a fight.
11:13Meanwhile, while the detectives are searching for A-chan with her mother, they nearly get into a traffic accident, but are saved by Etchan. At the same time, when the mother and the detectives see this, they realize that they had mistaken Etchan for A-chan.
11:32Afterwards, Etchan and his friends also start looking for A-ko, and as they head to the pedigree location, Takeshi and his friends make A-ko cry, which causes A-ko's dog Muku to attack Takeshi and his friends and kill them.
11:46In the midst of all this, Etchan and A-chan finally meet and are surprised to see each other's faces, but when Etchan learns of A-chan's wish, he goes out with her and the program ends with the two of them seeing Mount Fuji bathed in the sunset from the top of Tokyo Tower, which was A-chan's wish.
12:08Now, let's take a look at Etchan's daily life.

14:24What did you think?
14:30When I watched the final episode at the time of broadcast, it didn't seem like a final episode, or like it was being canceled.
14:37The episode ended without any information about what happened to Etchan after that, which left me feeling unsettled.
14:44What did you all think?
14:47Well, that's all for this time.
14:50See you again.
14:52Goodbye.
14:54Thank you for watching.
