Heihachi

“Stop right there!”

2

Heihachi

“Grr...!
Chusuke's too quick! And slippery!”

3

Ginnosuke

“I'll give him that he's faster than us...
No wonder he's called the swift-footed thief.”

4

Ginnosuke

“So, let's set up a trap!”

5

Heihachi

“A trap?
What do you mean...?”

6

Ginnosuke

“You've been practicing that one technique in the evenings, right, Heihachi?”

7

Heihachi

“...!
You knew, Mr. Ginnosuke?”

8

Ginnosuke

“Of course I knew.
How many years do you think we've been working together now?”

9

Ginnosuke

“Use it against him, Heihachi!
That should allow us to catch Chusuke!”

10

Heihachi

“Got it!”

Chusuke

“Hah!
If you want to catch me, then you'll have to come up here!”

12

Chusuke

“But I'm guessing that you tortoises will never be able to. Not even in a million years!”

13

Ginnosuke

“Oh?
We'll see about that.”

Chusuke

“What...?!”

“What...?!
He can climb up here?!”

17

Children

Wow, that was amazing...!!!
You're the coolest, Heihachi!

18

Guests

He just glided up that wall!

19

Heihachi

“This is what you get for underestimating me! I am Heihachi, Mr. Ginnosuke's right-hand man!”

20

Heihachi

“We can't let you keep running amok forever! Prepare yourself!”

Chusuke

“Wh-What?!”

22

Children

Oh no! Chusuke's gonna fall!

Ginnosuke

“Gotcha!!!”

24

Guests

Whoa...!!!
He caught him! That was awesome!!!

25

Guests

He caught a grown man all by himself! He must be really strong...!!!

26

Chusuke

“Grr...!
But I can't get caught! I'm THE Chusuke...”

27

Ginnosuke

“Too bad for you, Chusuke.
Your legs were no match for me and Heihachi.”

28

Ginnosuke

“Now, Chusuke, it's time for us to tie you up!”

Tsukasa

Phew...

30

Tsukasa

That concludes our final showing...
Our time here really flew by.

31

Rui

Nice work, Tsukasa.
You wowed us all again with your wall jumping today.

32

Emu

Yeah!
And the audience got so excited!

33

Tsukasa

Hah hah hah! How spectacular was I?!
My portrayal of Heihachi was spot-on, was it not?!

34

Nene

Alright, settle down.

35

Nene

But I'm glad that you got a chance to wall jump during the actual show...

36

Tsukasa

Me too! We need to thank Mr. Kijima and the others again for being so accommodating.

37

Tsukasa

Oh, speaking of which...

38

Tsukasa

Hello, Mr. Kijima!

39

Kijima

Oh, nice work, all of you!

40

Kijima

Your performance today was excellent!
All that sword fighting practice you did really paid off!

41

Tsukasa

...!
Thank you very much!!!

42

Emu

That's because you and your troupe were such great teachers, Mr. Kijima! Thank you so much for everything!!!

43

Kijima

Hah hah hah!
I appreciate you saying that!

44

Kijima

Also, did you hear?
They found out that thief's identity.

45

Tsukasa

What...?!
Who was he?!

46

Kijima

A former cast member.
During his first visit back in a very long time, something came over him which caused him to steal a person's belongings he saw on the ground. Unfortunately, he succeeded in getting away with it.

47

Kijima

He soon realized that he could continue stealing things undetected if he masqueraded as a cast member playing a ninja.

48

Tsukasa

I see...
So that's why he seemed like a real ninja...

49

Kijima

It's such a shame.
Despite being so athletic, he decided to use his abilities for unwholesome purposes.

50

Tsukasa

Right...

51

Kijima

But I'm hoping that you'll all use your fitness for what you consider good.

52

Tsukasa

We will!

53

Kijima

Still, this is a sad moment.

54

Kijima

The end of this show means you're just about finished training with us.

55

Nene

Oh...

56

Tsukasa

Thank you again for everything you've done for us, Mr. Kijima.

57

Tsukasa

We all learned quite a lot while training with Mikazukigumi.

58

Tsukasa

Most importantly, that an actor's physical fitness is their best asset. I think we all have a firm understanding of that now.

59

Kijima

I see...
I'm glad that we were able to help you all.

60

Kijima

But I also need to thank you.

61

Tsukasa

Huh?

62

Kijima

Seeing you and Wonderlands×Showtime at work reminded me of how...

63

Kijima

You need heart in order to make your dreams and ideals a reality.

64

Tsukasa

...!

65

Kijima

Good fitness and technique.
Those are both things you need to make that happen.

66

Kijima

But there are times when just those aren't enough. You experienced that firsthand this time around, Tenma.

67

Kijima

Regardless...

68

Kijima

We want to move others and make them smile.

69

Kijima

That spirit motivates us.
It helps us keep moving forward even during the toughest of times.

70

Tsukasa

Mr. Kijima...

71

Tsukasa

(Heart...
Right...)

72

Tsukasa

(Heart, technique and fitness.
Only when we've attained all three of those things can we start properly moving forward.)

73

Kijima

Seeing all of you reminded me of how I need to remain passionate. To keep that fire in my heart going.

74

Kijima

So, thank you.

75

Kijima

Let's all keep doing our best!
To make our dreams come true!

76

Tsukasa

Right...!

77

Kijima

Now then!
Let's say goodbye to each other with a nice, big group hug!!!!

78

Tsukasa

Huh? Whoa!!!

79

Emu

Nooo!
Too tight! Too tight!

80

Kijima

I couldn't have asked for better students!!!

81

Kijima

I hope we get to perform together again someday! And keep those beautiful fires in your hearts going! Do your best with the next troupe you visit! Hah hah hah hah!!!

82

Kijima

Anyway, I'll see you later!
The other troupe members and I are getting a big farewell party ready for all of you!

84

Tsukasa

What a wonderful troupe.

85

Nene

Yeah. Each day was pretty grueling, but I really learned a lot about my body and how to become more fit...

86

Rui

Hehe. We always seem to learn so much whenever we visit someplace new.

87

Rui

Let's keep doing the same when we start training with the next troupe we visit.

88

Tsukasa

Yes, let's!

89

Tsukasa

And the next one is going to be our last.

90

Emu

Right!
The Morinomiya Revue!

91

Rui

The largest musical theatre troupe in Japan. It's hard to believe that we get to train with them...

92

Nene

Yeah...

93

Nene

We need to keep doing our best when we start training with them...!

94

Tsukasa

Yes, we do!

95

Tsukasa

(As sad as it is that we have to say goodbye to everybody from Mikazukigumi...)

96

Tsukasa

(I want to see how I can apply what I learned with them in another environment.)

97

Tsukasa

(So, we'll be parting ways for now.)

98

Tsukasa

(And I'll keep moving forward.)

99

Tsukasa

(If the trail ends, I'll blaze a new one.
And I will achieve my goal...)

Tsukasa

(I'm going to become a star who makes the whole world smile...!!!)
