00:02In class 1-2 at Gakubun Prefectural High School, there was one student who attracted a great deal of attention
00:10immediately upon his arrival.
00:12When it came to classroom duties, he was stylish. At lunchtime, he was stylish. Even when the teacher made him
00:20stand out in the hallway, he was stylish. In everything he did, he was cool. Cooler, coolest.
00:28His life at school was overwhelmingly cool and stylish. That student's name, haven't you heard?
00:36I am Sakamoto.
00:58This is an egressful night.
01:00Live, two, and four are no time.
01:03Heart of a cake.
01:04Out of a cake.

01:45Out of a cake.
01:46Out of a cake.
01:47Out of a cake.
01:48Out of a cake.
01:51Out of a cake.
02:13One day, a snowstorm came through, and the snow piled up in our town for the first time in years.
02:20Grr, it's cold!
02:22I just want to turn right back around in my warm, cozy home and drink some hot herbal tea.
02:27What do you think, Sakamoto? You want to go back?
02:30Not really. This is my first time seeing such accumulations of snow. I'm kind of enjoying it.
02:36Wait, what? Are you serious?
02:38Makes me wonder. Maybe he was actually raised on a tropical island somewhere.
02:43Come to think of it, I don't really know all that much about Sakamoto.
02:46Where he's from, what his family's like, or even his blood type.
02:52Well, I can always just bug him to find out about that stuff later.
02:58As for now, I will just walk this new path right along with Sakamoto.
03:05Which of course, that'll be a lot easier said than done, I'm sure.
03:14What's going on? Why is Mr. Rabbit tugging at my heartstrings like this?
03:18I know, right? Who made this thing?
03:21Huh?
03:23Listen to be amazed. It was I who made it!
03:25I lived in the mountains of Hokkaido until my fourth year of elementary school.
03:30Hey there, Sakamoto!
03:32I heard this is your first time to see a real snowfall like this.
03:35Today, I'm gonna straight up give you a lesson on how to play in the snow like a boss!
03:41I eagerly await your instruction.
03:45Listen up! When you've got a good layer of snow on the ground, the first thing you gotta do is
03:49this!
03:50Ha!
03:53Okay, students, now it's your turn to try.
04:00Okay, so, what is the objective of this action?
04:03Oh, it's more than just an imprint in the snow.
04:05It creates a lasting memory for anyone who happens to pass by it.
04:10Alright, Sakamoto, how about you go next?
04:14Sure, as you command, sir.
04:16Hey! Don't do it right there! You'll cover up the one notch on our red...
04:21D...
04:22Dead...
04:22No way!
04:29Hey, I've seen that before!
04:32Huh? Where?
04:33Hey, Ken-Ken, you remember that time we were doodling in our history textbooks?
04:38Yeah, this was that picture drawn by Leonardo DiCaprio.
04:41It's like a medical symbol or something.
04:42I think it has to do with the digestive system?
04:45That's right!
04:46Right?
04:46It's a representation of the human form.
04:49You know, I feel like I actually just studied.
04:52Now I'll remember it on the test!
04:54Uh, yeah.
04:56Well, I'm so glad I could help you out.
04:58Or something.
05:04Okay, Sakamoto, for our next lesson, I'll teach you how to build a snowman.
05:09Yeah, that's it. Roll it up. Really big.
05:13You want to get it nice and round.
05:15Good. Now you want to try and stack it up very carefully.
05:18The most important thing here is balance.
05:22And that just about does it.
05:24Well, I'd say that's pretty good for your first time.
05:28I think it's still somewhat unbalanced.
05:31It looks all right to me.
05:32Uh, Sakamoto?
05:34Hey! Dude! Sakamoto!
05:37Hey!
05:39I don't know what you're doing, but, uh...
05:47Whoa!
05:49That's awesome!
05:51Nice legs!
05:52Ooh, that's a curvy figure, too.
05:54Bumps in all the right places.
05:56I would totally take her to the school dance.
05:59Hey, Sakamoto!
06:00Would you introduce us to your friend here?
06:02Yeah!
06:11Well, crap. I teach him something, and he does it better.
06:15I thought if I taught him something that he didn't know,
06:19then the two of us would finally be on equal terms.
06:24If it's equal terms you want, then you should challenge him to a fight.
06:30Oh, hey, Fukase!
06:32Uh, good to see you! It's been a while, man!
06:35You want Sakamoto to acknowledge you, right?
06:42Well then, you're going to have to beat him man-to-man.
06:47A one-on-one snowball fight.
06:50Okay.
06:51That's right. This is the number one best way of playing in the snow.
06:56The rules are simple.
06:58If you get even one hit on the other guy's body, then you win.
07:01And if you're able to beat me at this, I'll have nothing left to teach you.
07:07All right, you guys.
07:09It's freaking cold, so get this settled really fast, okay?
07:11Oh, I'm sure we will.
07:14I'm not gonna lose this time.
07:16I'm not gonna lose this time.
07:23Ready?
07:25Fight!
07:39Holy crap, this guy's like a damn Gatling gun.
07:43If I come out now, I'm gonna get hit for sure.
07:46Alright then, I'll just have to wait here until he runs out of snowballs, and then I'll take him down.
08:05Looks like we have a stalemate on our hands here.
08:07They're each waiting on the other person to make a move.
08:10I sure hope they're gonna be okay.
08:12This isn't really the kind of weather to be sitting still, you know?
08:18It's so cold. My stomach hurts.
08:21But if I come out first, he's just gonna pop me.
08:25Dang it! Not only has he stopped throwing snowballs, he hasn't even moved an inch!
08:29Come on! Don't you get cold!
08:32What's he doing?
08:34He's stuffing something into the snow.
08:43What the hell?
08:47Oh my god, what did he put in there?
08:51What if it's gunpowder?
08:54That bastard! He's gone too far.
08:56He's taking explosives and making his own bombs!
08:58What the hell do you think you're doing, sending something like that my way?
09:04I'm screwed.
09:05Both me and my shelter are gonna get blown to bits!
09:08Do I stay here and die like a dog, or do I roll the dice, jump out and go after
09:13him?
09:13There is only one choice!
09:26A sneak attack!
09:45That's it.
09:49It's over.
10:02Honestly, you're going to get yourself sick if you just lay around.
10:07It was obvious that you were getting rather cold out here.
10:11So I chose to share some of my reserve with you.
10:14Huh?
10:16So then what he rolled over toward me, it wasn't a bomb.
10:19It was a hand warmer.
10:21Okay, so are you guys finished or what?
10:24So, uh, can we go now?
10:28I'm just gonna walk home alone, okay?
10:30Ah-chan?
10:39Damn it.
10:40Stupid snowballs.
10:46I'm such an idiot.
10:48We were never on equal terms.
10:50Right from the start, it was clear I was no match for him.
10:56Oh, how sad.
11:02You know that there would be no need for you to suffer like this.
11:07Well, if Sakamoto wasn't around.
11:19I know.
11:21But please, don't rush me.
11:23The remodeling project will be completed very soon.
11:32I can't believe the school year is almost over already.
11:36I know, right?
11:37Well, the school year's over.
11:39Huh?
11:40It's so confusing.
11:41Like, it went by so fast.
11:42If there's one you want to have, I'll make some more copies.
11:46What's going on?
11:47What are you looking at over here?
11:48Well, I've been taking a lot of photos of the class over the past year.
11:52I thought it'd be nice to share them with everyone.
11:55Oh, this was so long ago!
11:57Oh my gosh.
11:58I forgot about this.
12:00I can't believe we almost got killed by a giant monkey.
12:03Oh, Sakamoto.
12:04I know you're in here.
12:06Ah!
12:07So vibrant, brimming with glorious color.
12:10A composition designed to make one feel a grand sense of grace and humility.
12:16This is the pure essence of beauty.
12:19The heart of aesthetics.
12:21Megumi, what is this masterpiece?
12:24Oh, that's a good story.
12:27It was a wet morning, during the rainy season.
12:34Huh?
12:36I can't fit my umbrella in there.
12:38I know it rains every day and people are in a hurry, but they could at least be considerate of
12:43the next person.
12:44Come on.
12:49Hey there, Sakamoto.
12:51Good morning.
12:52I'm trying to make some space in here.
12:55Oh, Sakamoto.
12:56Hey, hold on!
12:58Oh, wait.
12:59If you put them in that way, then I...
13:11Like my very heart, it's being purified.
13:15Thanks to his magnificent umbrella display, people stop just shoving their umbrellas in and walking off.
13:22Instead, they thoughtfully and gently place them, as if adding to a lovely flower arrangement.
13:27Hey, I want a copy of this one.
13:29Yeah, me too.
13:30Totally, me too.
13:31Whoa, what is this?
13:33It's like acrobatic and sexy.
13:35Hey, Megumi, where did you take this?
13:37Were you in Las Vegas or something?
13:39Yeah, well, about that.
13:42I took that one while watching the marathon.
13:46I was behind the crowd, and there were so many people that I couldn't get a good shot.
13:51And plus, it's already hard enough to take a picture of someone when they're moving so quickly.
13:56I've got it.
14:02I captured this on his way back.
14:07Absolutely brilliant!
14:09He used the pine tree as an axis, and executed the turn like a classically trained dancer.
14:15I want a copy of that one!
14:17Yeah, me too!
14:18Yeah, me too!
14:20Yeah, me too!
14:23Hey, look, there he is!
14:25Ahchan, we need you.
14:26Dude, we're having a major emergency meeting.
14:29Everyone's getting together at the usual place.
14:35Huh?
14:36Ahchan.
14:39Sorry, could you guys just leave me alone for a while?
14:46Okay, man.
14:50So it looks like Fukasi won't be graduating again this year, either.
14:54Are you sure about that?
14:55I am.
14:56He had too many unexcused absences.
14:58As of this summer, we will all be in the same grade as Fukasi.
15:03That could become a challenge.
15:05Hey, um, Hayabusa?
15:08I heard from a reliable source that Fukasi has lived and died a billion times and keeps coming back.
15:13Is that true?
15:14How the hell would I know?
15:16That just reminded me of another rumor I heard recently.
15:21Fukasi has an IQ of 180.
15:24He was considered a child prodigy all the way through middle school.
15:27I don't know for sure, but that could be true.
15:30I can tell you this.
15:32Over the years, I've never once been able to beat him at tic-tac-toe.
15:36So why then, sir?
15:37If he's supposed to be so smart, then why doesn't he freaking graduate already?
15:43Well, maybe there's something out there he doesn't have yet.
15:46Huh?
15:47All right, listen up, guys.
15:49It's about one thing.
15:51It doesn't matter if it's big or small or even right or wrong, but you just need to find that
15:56one thing that's all yours.
15:59Otherwise, one day, Fukasi is going to show up and take everything away.
16:06Hey, what's the deal?
16:08Why isn't Achan with you two today?
16:11Uh...
16:11Um, well, uh, he...
16:15Actually, he's been acting kind of weird lately.
16:21Hey, Fujita, do you have any more pictures of Sakamoto in there?
16:24I'm afraid these are all the ones I have that are really focused on him.
16:28But there might be a few more hidden at home.
16:30Oh, is that a picture of our field trip to the beach?
16:33Oh, man, look at that.
16:35Look at my belly.
16:36Ha!
16:37It was out of control back then.
16:39I mean, seriously.
16:41Ha!
16:42Ha!
16:43Ha!
16:43Ha!
16:43Ha!
16:43I don't know.
16:44It looks about the same on me.
16:46I wonder if there are any photos of me in there.
16:48It's the first time in my life I was popular with the ladies.
16:54What?
16:55That's you?
16:56I thought it was some local diving instructor lady.
16:59Huh?
17:00How embarrassing.
17:02Why was this picture taken?
17:03I mean, I'm in my bathing suit.
17:05Whoa, whoa, whoa.
17:05I gotta get a copy of this.
17:06Me too.
17:07I'll take five.
17:08You got that right.
17:09Why are boys only interested in one thing?
17:12Okay now, Fujita.
17:14Please tell me you have a picture of Sakamoto in his swimsuit showing off his muscles.
17:18Hmm, well, actually.
17:25I was looking for a chance to snap a photo of exactly that, but once he dove in, he never
17:32came back up again.
17:36Yeah, maybe I should have gotten an underwater camera, huh?
17:40How tragic.
17:42The fish that got away.
17:44Why are girls only interested in one thing?
17:48I'm really in love with all of these pictures, especially this one over here.
17:52And I like this one, huh?
17:54Oh, how pretty.
17:55I like these seashells.
17:57You like it?
17:58There were a lot of amazing shells while we were out on the beach that day.
18:01It felt kind of wrong to take them back with me, so I had to make do with the photo.
18:05Hmm?
18:10Oh my god!
18:12Do you see that?
18:13Huh?
18:13What?
18:16It's Venus!
18:17It's the birth of Venus!
18:20Oh!
18:21Oh, wow.
18:22He put himself into the shot and he used perfect perspective?
18:25I didn't even notice.
18:26You have got to make me a copy of this.
18:28A really big one.
18:29Huh?
18:29You did it!
18:31You did it!
18:31You did it!
18:32Yes!
18:32Yes!
18:34Yes!
18:39This is fun.
18:41I like looking back at a year's worth of memories.
18:43We really had a good time, didn't we?
18:45I guess so.
18:46We've been through a lot too, haven't we?
18:48A lot like what?
18:50You running around the school without any clothes on comes to mind.
18:53Don't be jealous.
18:54Uh-uh-uh.
18:58But I will tell you this.
19:00When I really think about it, I'm glad I was in this class.
19:05Yeah, me too.
19:07Yeah.
19:08I'll tell you this.
19:09I'm glad I was in the same class as Sakamoto.
19:14The only thing I can hope for is to be in Sakamoto's class next year, too.
19:31It's too dangerous, Acheron!
19:33You were raised in the land!
19:34You can't swim through something like that!
19:36If Sakamoto can get out into the deep water, then I can't do, damn it!
19:45Dwelling on the past never did anybody any good.
19:49You know that, right?
19:55It does nothing.
19:57Just clings to what's already gone.
20:03Um, Fukase, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do anymore.
20:09I can't help but wonder if things would have been better without Sakamoto.
20:14Well, from where I'm sitting, just looking at you in this picture here, it seems to me as though you
20:21have lost yourself.
20:24If I recall, you're the type of guy who participates in school events, right?
20:29Um, well, yeah, I guess.
20:31You want one?
20:33Uh, sure, yeah.
20:36Uh, I mean, yeah, these are my favorite.
20:42Yeah.
20:46If you ask me, Sakamoto reminds me of the moon glittering in the night sky.
20:52With everyone chasing after him like insects, blindly flying towards him, drawn to his shimmering glow.
20:59But it never occurs to them that no matter how far they fly, no matter how hard they try, they'll
21:05never reach him.
21:05They just keep beating their wings until they die.
21:09Huh.
21:09But let me tell you something.
21:12There is a way to save yourself, you know, while extinguishing this deceitful moon that has everyone going so crazy.
21:36Tell me what to do.
21:52How do you think?
22:06I'll see you next time.
23:33This is it, Sakamoto.
23:36Time to disappear.
24:11This is it, Sakamoto.
24:12This is it, Sakamoto.
24:12This is it, Sakamoto.
