Bocchi the Rock! (2022) s01e11 Episode Script

1
31ST SHUKA FES - DAY ONE
How about a frankfurter?
Please visit Class 2-2's haunted house!
Wow.
Look at how stoked everyone is
on the first day.
What a contrast to ours.
Where should we start?
Let's see…
I want to check out
Class 2's haunted house!
Nice idea! Let's do that.
The place is swarming with Ikuyos.
We can start with Bocchi-chan's
class since it's nearby.
This looks like it.
Hey there, is Bocchi-chan around?
Bocchi, where's our service?
Oh, you're here.
Are you here to see maid Bocchi-chan too?
Where's Bocchi the maid?
About that…
What!
Bocchi-chan's missing?
She excused herself to the bathroom after
wearing the uniform and never came back.
She could've told us
if she didn't want to do it.
Running around school dressed
like that sounds more embarrassing.
Let's look for her!
Yeah!
Must we?
No complaining from you!
NO ENTRY BEYOND THIS POIN
She's not here.
Where'd she go?
I suppose we could try
all the girl's bathrooms.
What, all of them?
No.
Gotoh-san would never be in a place
that's frequently visited by others.
So where should we look?
Tell us, Professor Kita!
Very well. Let the lecture begin.
Firstly, there must be no people around.
The environment must be clammy.
We must look for places that slugs
would seek refuge under!
She could be found sticking to places
like the underside of rocks!
You're being so flippantly rude to her.
I couldn't help but lie and run away.
I must be giving them trouble.
I have to go back.
But I can't bear the thought of
the band seeing me like this.
If only I had my ripe mango box…
Welcome back.
RIPE MANGOES
I yearn for that cardboard warmth.
This is bad. I'll go nuts at this rate.
Time to escape reality
into the online world.
Lately, I've been too busy
with band practice to check.
I can always count on my video
comments for comfort.
There's nothing but kind wor--
Did she vanish?
Time to unsub I guess…
Guitar Hero is…
Oh shit!
I have to upload a new video or else…
I'll lose my place online!
I liked dark, cramped spaces
So I'd bury my face deep in my hood
My eyes resented the heartless world
But yearned for love
I liked being soaked by the rain
Because my face looked better clouded over
I pretended to be afraid of the storm
While waiting for the sky to burst
Strum through the light's distortion
I want to make thunder roar
Drum beyond the pain
What can I do?
This fierce pounding is out of control
Strum in a harmonizing quartet
I want to cause a revolution
Drum in a lamenting forte
What can I do?
My savage nature is beyond wild
Come to think of it,
when did I post my last video?
I've been so occupied
that it slipped my mind.
I must put something out
after the festival!
See? There she is.
Bocchi-chan,
your class is worried about you.
She really was hiding
somewhere slugs would go.
It was worth looking inside
dustbins and tanks!
I didn't feel like we were searching
for a person though.
Come on, let's head back.
Yes…
Oh, look!
Right here.
It's our name!
Silly thing to be excited over, I know.
It's a funny feeling to see
our band name all over school.
Uh, yeah.
Feeling the pressure now
isn't going to do us any favors.
Good point!
We should just focus
on enjoying the festival today!
Right, Gotoh-san?
Unlike her, I've never found
any joy in these school events.
End of the line
for Class 2-2's haunted house!
One customer, coming in!
This has been catching my attention.
I've been wanting to check it out.
Me too! I've been hearing
good things about it!
Can we make another stop?
Here's your chocolate crepe.
-How about a chocolate banana?
-Thanks!
Something salty would be nice too.
Buy both and let me have a bite of each.
Sure thing.
Could you not casually
try to mooch off her?
Huh?
Isn't that Bocchi-chan!?
This is…
Here I go.
There.
JUMBO PACK
Congratulations!
Yay!
-You did it!
-Going around the festival with the girls
-Thank you for the gift.
-isn't so bad.
I never said it's for you.
Not to mention…
Where should we go next?
Now we're talking!
Let's go through
everything there is to see!
Everything is a bit much!
And Gotoh-san,
"The more we goof around, the less time
there is to go back to the cafe"
is written all over your face!
Busted!
MAID CAFE
Welcome to Class 1-2's maid cafe!
Good to have you back!
Please come this way.
MAID CAFE MENU
Gotoh-san's class is really into it.
They all look cute.
She's standing tall and proud
while manning the front door.
Could all her work
at Starry be paying off?
Not quite.
Huh?
She's just passed out while standing up.
You're right!
Oh, shoot.
It's a pair of Mad Max rejects.
Who let them in?
Hey missy.
How about you drop that signboard
and have a little fun with us?
She's not budging from our fearsome glare!
Not only that, she's even
making a funny face at us!
This is no ordinary lass!
Forgive us!
Gotoh-san's amazing!
She's going above and beyond her role!
I guess so?
Bocchi-chan, we're ready to order!
What would you like?
Let's see…
Gotta say though,
you look almost too good in that maid
getup.
Cutesy clothes like these
suit her very well.
I get you. She should wear
other things besides her sweats!
That's a little too much…
I see…
Is there something on me?
Marketing ourselves
with visual appeal is a valid tactic.
I never knew you were a diamond
in the rough.
Ryo-san?
Let's have Bocchi wear
a swimsuit in our MV.
PERFORMING IN A SWIMSUI
Video views are everything
to bands these days.
Sacrifices must be made
to reel in those sweet, sweet clicks.
Perhaps we could wrap her in duct tape
and have her rock on the sea!
Stop trying to monetize Bocchi-chan!
May I please have your orders!
Oh, right.
Can someone pay for me?
This looks yummy!
Look at this!
What's this Fluffly Pure
Melty Magic Omelet Rice like?
A regular omelet rice.
How about the Unicorn Dreamy
Cutie Twinkle Omelet Rice?
Also a regular omelet rice.
IDGAF Darkly Cute Omelet Rice.
That too, is just an omelet rice.
So everything on the menu
is the same dish with a different name?
Seems all our budget went to the uniforms.
Here's your, uhh, Fluffy Pure
Melty Magic Omelet Rice.
Excuse me.
This yummyfication spell here…
I'd like to have one please!
Err, well, that's…
The customers are your overlords.
-Smirky smirk.
-Pretty please, miss maid?
-Smirky smirk.
-You're enjoying this, aren't you?
Fluffy wuffy pure pure miracle
badump omelet rice…
Be tasty.
It's a little dry.
That's because it's a frozen meal.
Gotoh-san! You need to put
more love into it!
I'll show you how it's done!
Fluffy wuffy!
Pure pure!
Miracle… badump!
Mr. Omelet Rice.
Be as tasty as can be!
Kita shinin' atcha!
Shine!
I now feel the mild acidity of the ketchup
and the sweet sauce melding together,
forming the taste of a warm family meal!
So smooth.
Kita-chan, would you like
to help our class out?
Seriously?
I've been itching to try that uniform on.
How do I look?
Like a million yen!
It definitely looks good on you.
I know! How about you both
join in for the occasion?
Can we?
Of course you can!
Omigosh! They're adorable!
Stop right there!
You have to go for the mature
older maid look instead!
Crossdressing works just as well!
I'm such a fashionista!
Sensing some major bias in reception here.
The three of them are drop-dead gorgeous!
Would you mind lending us a hand?
No problem!
I work in hospitality, so I know
what to do!
You can count on me!
Thank you so much!
Welcome back!
Which band are you here for today?
-This is a maid cafe!
-Incredible.
-Whoops, force of habit.
-Their powers of adaptability
and hospitality are unparalleled.
'Scuse me!
Can we get more water over here?
Could you please handle that table?
Get your own drinks.
Pardon us!
We're not at a music venue!
But I'm still swooned!
Ryo-san's amazing in her own way.
Whatever it is.
Hey!
I brought over a big group.
What? No way!
Welcome back. Please come this way.
Gotoh-san, you can take a break now.
Oh, sure.
I'm being treated so differently.
I can see it happening again
during tomorrow's gig.
BUTLER CAFE TOMORROW
Unbelievable!
All our omelet rice is sold out.
The top-selling class is bound to be ours!
This was all thanks to
Kita-chan and her bandmates!
Thank you!
Don't sweat it.
We had fun helping out. Thanks.
We'll be sure to watch you play tomorrow!
I'm happy to hear that!
Now, let's talk about our fees.
Surely you didn't think
that we were doing this for free?
Come here, you.
We're off to practice.
Can we make a stop before that?
Huh?
I wanted us to have a look at
where we'll be playing tomorrow.
That's a good-looking gymnasium.
Looks like
it could hold 1000 people at most?
I doubt we'll have that many watching us.
But it would be great
if we had a large audience.
Yes.
I'm sure we will. We have
Kita-chan power on our side.
Yeah.
31ST SHUKA FES
Tomorrow we'll be standing up there.
On stage as Kessoku Band.
It's been on my mind for a while,
but your guitar is
pretty worn out, isn't it?
I've thought about it too.
The fretboard has rust and cracks.
It must be a well-used vintage guitar.
-Stop making this about money.
-I'm sure it'll fetch a handsome price.
Well, you see.
It was my dad's from when
he was young, so it's pretty old.
Your family will be here tomorrow, right?
Yes. They couldn't make it last time
because of the typhoon,
so they're very excited for this.
They even bought a camcorder.
I can picture it.
My friends texted me about
how they're looking forward to it.
We'll have to meet
those expectations then!
Yeah.
By the way, what are we doing
for the emcee part?
Introduce ourselves, our songs
and briefly address the audience?
Sounds right.
There's nothing wrong
with our usual routine.
I thought about what
famous band concerts do,
and if there's something extra
we could do to raise the excitement.
There's no such thing as bands
having amusing emceeing.
Fans just take a hint and force a laugh.
That's scathing!
Relax, once we make it, even your shitty
emceeing becomes the funniest of jokes.
Is that your idea of a consolation
or are you dissing me?
Incoming disbandment!
Enough.
No fighting!
Let's make the most of this last practice.
Sorry about that. Let's get to it!
Here we go!
-Sounds good.
-Huh?
Yup.
-I'm so glad.
-Kita-san seems…
Is something wrong, Gotoh-san?
Oh, umm.
I hope that some of the audience
will find us entertaining.
They definitely will.
Said with conviction. I like it.
We're counting on you, Bocchi-chan!
We have to be confident.
Everyone will be surprised
by what you can do!
Oh, but that's…
It'll happen! After all, you're so…
Nevermind. Forget I said anything!
Let's do our best!
Yeah!
That's all for today!
Be sure to get plenty of sleep
so you'll be ready for tomorrow!
Got it!
Thanks for today.
It sure feels like autumn.
If things went my way,
we'd already be recording an EP by now!
Isn't it good enough that we're
making slight but steady progress?
Our festival gig is tomorrow.
It'll be my first time
performing before the school.
I won't speak with certainty
like Kita-san.
But I'd like for them to have
even the tiniest enjoyment out of it.
31ST SHUKA FES - DAY TWO
My sister will be coming.
Is that so?
I have to believe.
I'm sure everything will turn out fine.
Maybe, just maybe.
Someone from a record
company will be in the audience.
Fantastic! Youse are up for a debut, ASAP!
It'll be a high school band success story.
We may even be picked up
by the news and have our legend cemented.
She's gone off to
her own little world again.
Let's go, Bocchi-chan.
Oh, right!
The band before us
really has the crowd going.
That song was a hit this year, after all.
The audience is even waving glowsticks.
Darn, I'm feeling nervous now!
Deep breaths, Kita-chan!
You okay, Bocchi-chan?
Yes!
Half a year ago she was in a mango box,
but look at how confident she is now.
THUMP, THUMP, THUMP!
This band's drummer is unusually loud.
Gotoh-san, deep breaths.
Breathe in…
Kessoku Band, your turn's coming up.
Okay.
Alright, who wants to huddle up?
How about we put our hands
together and shout instead?
Good idea! Let's do that!
It's annoying.
Everyone, left hand out!
Here!
Really?
Come on!
You too, Gotoh-san.
Sure.
Okay, let's give it our all and have fun!
Ready…
Yeah!
Coming up next is Kessoku Band!
Kita-chan!
Hello.
I saw this coming.
Sis!
You can do it!
Hitori-chan!
-We're rooting for you!
-My fans are here!
My classmates too.
I didn't quite see this coming.
Heyo!
Break a leg, Bocchi-chan!
Lookie here,
I brought sake for the occasion.
JAPANESE SAKE
You better bring the house down!
She reeks of alcohol.
We've got a real nutcase here.
Hey, why are you ignoring me?
It's your girl, Kikuri!
I shouldn't have invited her.
Pull yourself together.
No more! I give up!
So…
We, The Kessoku Band usually
perform outside of school.
We hope to make today a memorable day
for ourselves and everyone here.
If you ever wish to see more of us,
be sure to drop by the music venue!
Do your best!
Time to kick things off
with our first song!
We're Kessoku Band performing…
What's wrong with
Not letting my sound die down?
What's wrong with being young?
Hey, why doesn't it stop?
The rhythm that I can't stop
Keeps reverberating through my body
The melody playing in my earphones
Is the only thing
That lets me be who I am
The sky is tinged in red
But what color is my soul?
Tell me
Where should I go?
I've always been searching
For something precious
Hey!
If everything's going to be lost some day
Let's engrave it as deep as we can
Now!
My most pathetic nights
And cackling laughter
And days when I couldn't say
More than "You know…"
I'm alive now, yeah
Springtime of life
What's wrong with not letting
My sound die down?
What's wrong with being young?
Tune in next week!
