tenseikunpuu summary -- SPOILERS (you have been warned)
When life slaps you one in the face... grab it by the shoulders and knee it in the crotch. Alternatively, you could also watch TK enough times to be able to recite it in your sleep. XDDD
So without further ado!
I know this isn't a full-fledged translation but DO NOT TAKE THIS OUT OF MY VOX (or LJ). I WILL BE PISSED OFF IF I SEE THIS RE-POSTED ELSEWHERE.
Reasons to watch:
1) OHNO. Enough said right? But seriously, OHNO IS AMAZING IN THIS PLAY. He acts, dances, fights; there's the sleepy!face, serious/kick-ass!mode, even slightly romantic, HOTDAMN!ohno.
2) THE STORY. It's good, I dont' think my summaries, detailed or not, do it justice. You see Ohno's character grow from this guy who's basically nobody with no family/friends to one who's remembered down four hundred years. Not only that, there's the theme of revenge, living for the future vs. the past, romance, friendship, hope and despair.
3) Arashi-related moments: I've tried to list all the one I could recognize, but it's just awesome to have them in this. I think Ohno had a real had in directing this butai (if I can remember from SCP correctly >.>), so you can see his love for Arashi/Ohmiya SK by the fact that these little snippets make it into the production. Sadly no singing.
4) Stageplays are interesting. At least I think so. They still manage to convey everything a full-fledged movie might be in a much more limited space, time (like for costume/set changes), and there aren't really outtakes. You see the real deal the whole time... including sweatdripping!ohno. *fans self*

My notes:
1) The 'trans' in the detailed summary aren't really trans. I watched a scene, paused it, typed up what I could remember of the convo and MOVED ON (aka didn't go back and check), but the most impt. parts of the dialogue are there.
2) Some people have more than one name (you'll find out why, esp. for Minami's character--I use Saizo and Otoki interchangably) and some sort of title attached to them, I picked one that I remember or used a 'name' that hopefully you can follow.
3) Caps are there to help orient people, but I think this is a good enough break down of the butai that you should be able to follow it fairly well. *shrugs* You can ask me if you're still confused about something.
Short and sweet version:
The play revolves around the character named Kasamine Kaoru, basically a nobody, who is involved with a power-hungry scientist who has developed a time machine. The time machine is basically in the form of the white jacket or 'coat-o' he wears throughout the butai, the wristband/watch displays the year he is in and the coat can enable its wearer different types of skills. Kaoru is sent back in time to a period of about 400 hundred years ago and gets involved in some sort of conflict. What happens to him there and the events that he becomes involve in will change the course of history of itself.

Longer version:
Part I:
1864:
The scene starts off the Kaoru (played by Ohno) running away from a group of swordsmen who are out to get him.
Kaoru (played by Ohno, reading his wristband which says 1864): Enough already! I have no idea what the hell is going on!
Swordsmen: Finally found you!
Kaoru: I think you have me mistaken for someone else!
Swordmen: Mistaken?! If you think that will allow you to escape, you're taking us for fools! Eh?! Are you awake, Souji!
Kaoru: I told you, I'm Kaoru! Kasamine Kaoru!
Swordsmen: There's no way that can be the case! Only Souji would have that kind of sleepy looking face!
(tayuri: *points up* The 'sleepy' face they were talking about. XDDD OH OHNO YOU UTTERLY LOVABLE DORK.)
Fight scene. Kaoru gets saved by two guys dressed in red and black from his Bakamatsu play who introduce themselves as part of the Shinsengumi (?).
Guy 1: Huh Souji? What the heck are you doing with these guys?
Guy 2: Running away? That's not like you!
Kaoru: I have no clue what's going on, but now, while I have the chance!
Guy 2: What's going on with him?
Guy 1: That's not like him!
Kaoru falls back into the time slip. Enter Souji!
(Awesome fight scene where Ohno kicks ass! DAMN! Really makes you wish you had Bakamatsu too, huh? Dear Johnny-san, I think you ought to release Bakamatsu-banpu on DVD as well, I don't need my left kidney, really!)
Guys: Souji?!
Souji: Are you two alright? What is it?
Guys: What's that you just now?
Souji: Sorry I meant to come earlier but I was asleep.
Guys: So who was that guy just now?
Opening credits (You know, I could really do wo/the chicks in white flitting about >.>):
Back in 2006:
Enter evil man (Himuro) and lady minion (Miki) and the two sidekicks. After Kaoru comes back from the time slip, Miki and the two sidekicks check him over to see if he's all right.
Sidekicks: Ready, set!
Sidekicks + Kaoru: "A no Arashi!" (XDDD)
Kaoru: Cut that out!
Ohno yells at evil man for what the heck happened to him, describing the fact that he was being chased by guys with swords and if it wasn't for the two allies that showed up, he'd be dead. Miki says that Kaoru had gone back to 1864, the time called 'Bakamatsu' during Meiji era. Evil man laughs and tells Kaoru about the greatness of the possibility of time slip. Also, that the main gadget for time travel is the coat. Kaoru says this wasn't what he signed up for and takes out the flyer that he'd seen/responded to. More arguments. Kaoru complains he could have died and evil man replies that he should have put the suit in 'active' mode. There are four options--swordsmanship, kung fu, dance and 'love' mode. Kaoru yells the last isn't necessary and they take it out (BOO OHNO BOO, I WANT TO SEE YOU GET IT ON... XDDD). More arguments regarding Kaoru not wanting to go on with the experiments and the evil man replies he has no dreams and that Kaoru has no family/friends that would be sad if he died. (NOTE: This is IMPORTANT!) Kaoru gets angry and goes after evil man and ends up fighting the two sidekicks (given orders to kill Kaoru). They end up activating the time machine again.
Kaoru: I can't die yet!
1623:
Set change covered up by having a member of the acting troupe say some (apparently?) funny lines. He does it in accented Japanese so it's hard to understand, but he does say "Kansha Kangeki Ame Arashi" somewhere. It's a butai in a butai. <-- This might make more sense in a bit. I'm pretty sure they're enacting Sengokupu which was Ohno's first butai in the Puu series in 2003.
The play basically revolves around two groups in conflict with Otoki (or Saizo) (aka Minami) acting as Fusuke, the middleman. The green banners going across the stage is representative of wind (it's a means to introduce new characters during the play).
Enter Kaoru who disrupts the play and then collapses wo/saying his name just, "I'm..."
Kaoru wakes up, surrounded by the 1623 version of evil man and the two sidekicks, and freaks out.
Evil man look-a-like: Yo!
Kaoru: Oh, Himuro!
Sidekicks: You're awake!
Kaoru: You guys too?!
Sidekicks: We'll go get everyone, let's go, go!
Evil man look-a-like: Isn't this great? You're awake!
Kaoru: Just what are you planning to do with me?!
Ohno yells at the evil man look-a-lie, excusing him of using people for bad ends and such.
Enter the other actors from the butai, one of which HANGS ONTO Kaoru.
Hanger: Where have you been until now?
Kaoru: Let go of me!
Hanger: No, I'll never let you go again! Never let you go! (O.o)
They start yelling at Ohno for interrupting the play which caused Otoki (Minami's character) to hurt herself and tell him to apologize to her. The one who hangs onto Kaoru starts calling him Sasuke and says it wasn't in Sasuke's intention for her to get hurt. Kaoru yells at them that he's not joking (when the 'gaijin' (in the butai) accuses him of joking) and his real name is Kaoru. More talking.
He realizes its 1623 from looking at the wristband and that the look-a-likes aren't the evil man and sidekicks. He does some calculations and realize that he's in a time with samurais still (figures he's still in the Bakamatsu era). He thinks they're still going to kill him and figures this is the time to activate his suit, but doesn't quite get how to start it. (Someone also accuses him of sniffing/eating some sort of funny mushroom. LOL)
Another someone presses a button and Kaoru starts dancing, then fights with a 'sword', then fights with kung fu (HIS FACE IS HILARIOUS DURING THIS PART XDDD). Eventually his body can't keep him and Kaoru collapses again.
Kaoru: It's done. But my body can't keep up...
The four actors left discuss whether this is really Sasuke. The hanger thinks it's him, but Saizo argues it can't be, Sasuke's dead. More arguments with Minami yelling at the leader (Daisuke) to not badmouth Sasuke and they end up deciding to have Kaoru take Saizo's part in the play tomorrow. Right before that the 'gaijin' says something along the lines of "Don't forget our real motive!" (What could that be? :x) The hanger on carries Kaoru away and says, "Let's go, Sasuke. It's been a while since we've made clay figurines." (XDDD)
Back in 2006:
Sidekicks don't realize evil man is behind them and end up saying, "Let's go to Saitama" when asked what the situation was. Evil man and sidekicks talk about the situation. Miki is off researching the earlier incident and the two sidekicks are sent off as well.
1623:
Butai scene with the two groups fighting again. Fusuke (Kaoru's/Otoki's butai character) apparently replaced one of the dude's sword with flowers. Enter villagers and the 'bad' guy states he's going to deal with all of them.
Kaoru: That's what I've been waiting for!
Swordsmen: Where is that coming from?
Curtains open. Enter Kaoru as Fusuke.
Everyone: Fusuke-san!
(tayuri: LOL Ohno looks so uncomfortable and stiff here, his face is great XD)
'Gaijin' character: What are you doing? It's your line!
Kaoru: It's too long, I don't remember it!
'Gaijin' character: Fusuke-san! You're suppose to be making things better between the villagers and the samurai!
Raizou (played by Daisuke) says Sengokupuu isn't just Fusuke and to leave it to him and Kaoru replies that they should do that. The 'gaijin' tells him this is his job and grabs his jacket and forces him down onto the stage.
'Bad' guy: What do you plan on doing Fusuke?
Kaoru: No, I...
Villagers: Save us, Fusuke-san!
Kaoru: Everyone... let's get along! Later!
Butai people fall over and tell him this is the important part, that he should do such and such as they want.
Kaoru: For now, let's focus on peace! Instead of killing people, let's use our energy on more fun things! Isn't that good?
More arguments and they end up pissing Kaoru off.
Kaoru: Give me a break! Everyone's always hitting and resorting to violence, let's focus on fun things! Everyone, follow me!
Kaoru starts dancing, rocking it out with a 'guitar'. XDDD
tayuri: There's also a close-up of them rolling hips (think TOP SECRET <333) and even a hip thrust (think Rain). (PAUSE, REPLAY, PAUSE... and replay again x10 XDDD)
Everyone starts dancing as well. Kaoru runs through the audience (tayuri: DAMN YOU LUCKY FANGIRLS. I WANT TO TOUCH SWEATY OHNO TOO.). Kaoru ends by doing the solo dance sequence (or part of it) from Rain (tayuri: ;D TK is awesome just for trying to spot all these little Arashi-related moments!). Butai ends.
Evil lady minion, Miki (...maybe) makes a quick appearance.
Kaoru: What the hell am I doing? This isn't the time for such things. Why isn't it 2006 even thought it's set as such? Why aren't I Satoshi? (tayuri: Oi, don't you mean Kaoru??) What do I have to do to have that "Bang" so I can go back?
(tayuri: Man on left is the 'hanger' and man on the right is the 'gaijin' sorry if it's been confusing, that's how I remember things >.>)
Hanger: Wa~!!!! Those were some awesome moves, Sasuke! Even if you're an idiot, at least your body remembers!
Kaoru: I'm not an idiot!
Everyone: Good work!
Cheering ensues. Apparently the butai was a huge success. Evil man look-a-like thanks Kaoru for taking part in the play and remarks that he really thought about his dance part. Otoki asks if that means they don't need her anymore. Everyone replies that's not it and then the hanger guy compliments Kaoru on his dance moves. Kaoru states he used to 'dansu' and Otoki is confused. Kaoru realizes that 'dansu' hasn't been invented yet. 'Gaijin' asks if Kaoru is the type that only says incomprehensible things. Hanger basically squees, saying that's just like Sasuke and the 'gaijin' replies that he's being disgusting.
Evil man look-a-like brings the 'leader' (Daisuke) onto the set, who is apparently upset. Hanger says it's because Sasuke became popular and so Daisuke is jealous, esp. since the woman he loves (Otoki) is now in love with Sasuke. Everyone but Kaoru and evil man look-a-like run off.
Kaoru says it's unexpected, that everyone in the samurai/ninja time (Edo period) acts in such a 'fun' manner. He thought they'd be all serious and killing each other and stuff. Evil man look-a-like says that's not the case, there's no way everyone can dance and have fun like Sasuke wanted during the butai. Kaoru replies that in the future, it is possible for men and women to have fun and dance together. Evil man look-a-like says in saying that Sasuke has remembered the past and that it's time! (What past??? ;x)
Enter Miki look-a-like who comes in saying that they've finally been discovered and there's no need for Sasuke to remember such things as they will all die here. Enter more ninja warriors. Kaoru originally thought the Miki look-a-like is after him.
Enter Hatori Hanzo, who compliments the Miki look-a-like and calls her Miyuki. Apparently Hatori Hanzo and the actors are in some sort of conflict. Fighting ensues. Some members of the acting troupe get killed. Kaoru stops Hatori from killing Otoki.
During their struggle, Hatori activates the 'kung fu' mode of the coat.
Kaoru ends up pulling Hatori's wig, revealing his bald head. (LOL, XDDD)
Set change with Hatori and Miyuki talking about Sasuke (they thought he died in Osaka). This part is hilarious as Miyuki keeps trying to fix Hatori's wig. (XDDD)
Hatori: No one found out right?
Miyuki: Yes.
Hatori: No one saw right?
Miyuki: Yes.
Hatori: No one found out, right?! Tell me, Miyuki~!!!
Cave scene:
The remaining actors grieve over the deaths of the other members. Kaoru asks what the heck just happened, which pisses off the 'gaijin' who replies by saying he still can't remember in such situation. Evil man look-a-like states they weren't just waiting upon Sasuke's memory to come back. He goes on explain that Hatori is part of the Tokugawa regime that is out to get the Sanada clan (which the five remaining actors are a part of). They argue over who Sasuke's done (XDDD). 'Gaijin' claims Sasuke's done Otoki, which causes Otoki, Daisuke and the hanger to be all indignant. Otoki is apparently also a shinobi. Evil man look-a-like goes on to talk about how they've all hidden and lived to see the day that they can get either revenge or take back what they've lost.
Kaoru tells them he wants no part in it. 'Gaijin' character goes nuts and Kaoru is defended by the hanger, saying Sasuke's just not feeling well. Daisuke and Otoki leave as well. Evil man look-a-like asks Kaoru to stay with them, saying that Sasuke's presence has a good influence on everyone.
Night scene:
The two brothers (aka the 'gaijin' and 'hanger') meet up during... guard shifts, I think. Hanger sees a hair comb on the 'gaijin' and says it smells like Hatori's woman and goes off saying he hates women.
'Gaijin': She was beautiful. But if I remember correctly, her name was Miyuki.
Hanger: You... you can't be... in love right?
'Gaijin': What are you saying? There's no way! Even if we're brothers, you can't say something like that!
Hanger: Sorry, sorry. Yeah, you're right. What's wrong?
'Gaijin': Can we win this fight?
Hanger: Of course, Sasuke's back!
More talking and they run off.
Enter Kaoru who talks to himself and then 'hides'. (tayuri: XDDD Great spot, Ohno, really.) Enter Otoki whose arm is now better. She starts mimicking Kaoru's earlier performance as Fusuke.
Otoki: Whoa! It's you!
Kaoru: Yo!
Otoki: What are you doing?
Kaoru: I just saw you doing that dance. Did you like it, that dance?
Otoki: Thanks.
Kaoru: Eh?
Otoki: You saved me back then, thanks.
Kaoru: Ah, ah. Oh. What?
Otoki: You... you're Sasuke aren't you? A different Sasuke, dressed somewhat foolishly, but somehow you came here for us.
Otoki goes on to telling Kaoru about Sasuke, how he wanted to live (to make people smile via dance and other 'fun' things)--that even though he met a shinobi, he didn't want to fight. Otoki wants to be like Sasuke.
Kaoru: Were you in love with him?
Otoki: Eh?
Kaoru: Ah, I mean that Sasuke guy.
Otoki: Dunno... but living like Sasuke is good I think. Creating a huge ship and setting out into the larger world was what Sasuke's dream was.
More talk about Sasuke and Otoki says she wants to see people's smile using her shinobi. Kaoru thinks that's awesome that something like that transferred to Saizo.
Kaoru: That's why I was happy, earlier when you mimicked my 'dansu' or dance I should say. Because I've never made anyone happy with anything I did until now. "You're not needed" is something I'm told often. I don't know either my father's or mother's face.
Kaoru does the "Arashi, Arashi for dream" dance continuing along the lines of what he was talking about.
Otoki says they're companions now and continues talking about Sasuke and his dream. Kaoru thinks it'll will be good for the world definitely if she continues that dream with 'fun' dance and butai.
Otoki: Definitely?
Kaoru: Because that's where I'm from. You might not believe it but I'm from the far future of this country.
Otoki: Far future of this country?
Kaoru: This, when I wear this, it allows me to jump through time, to live in the past and the future.
Otoki: No way.
Kaoru: Well, I don't really know how to do the time thing right now, but really everything from before is due to this 'kid' (he means the coat).
Kaoru has Otoki try the coat and activates the 'kung fu' mode. He gets smacked in the face when he gets too close. XDDD Then he activates the 'dance' mode.
Otoki: Are? Are: My body is doing this on its own.
Kaoru: See, isn't that cool?
Otoki: Shinobi arts?
Kaoru: Didn't I say, it's all due to that coat?
They start dancing. (Why so pretty Ohno? Now I have a sudden urge to see Ohno do ballet... maybe just for the tights >.>)
Otoki: That far-off country seems like a lot of fun. You, you don't need to wear this?
Kaoru: I said it didn't I? That I can dance.
Mysterious figure follows the two off stage. (Who could that be?)
Next morning:
Otoki: Morning! What's wrong?
Kaoru: It's not here! Not here, my coat!
Otoki: Coat?
Kaoru: Ah, you know the long, white thing I'm always wearing?
Otoki: Ah, this thing? *dances*
Kaoru: That, that!
Otoki: I gave it back to you last night, didn't I?
Kaoru: You did, but it went somewhere while I was asleep.
Otoki: Eh?
Kaoru: Where could it be?
Otoki: Maybe the wind blew it somewhere. Oh! Maybe it walked out on its own, using that power from the future.
Kaoru: There's no way that would happen!
Otoki: Well, how would I know that?!
Kaoru: That's fine, just help me look for it!
Someone comes onto the scene and knocks Kaoru out.
Enter ninjas and Hatori Hanzo. Kaoru wakes up and they argue. Kaoru accuses him of stealing his coat, but Hatori doesn't know what he's talking about. Right when Kaoru gets in trouble, the 'wind' blows in and the Sanada clan appears. They start fighting and Miyuki appears. Kaoru doesn't understand why they came for him and Otoki says it's b/c they're friends. The 'gaijin' betrays them, seems he liked Miyuki that much. Kaoru thinks it's the 'gaijin' that stole his coat. The 'gaijin' says he's been waiting for seven years and even w/Sasuke, he's just a failure/fake. Hatori says this is the end of the line for them. The 'gaijin' protests that Hatori promised to save them if he helped them out, but Hatori just slices him. More fighting, Gaijin (Ishita) sacrifices himself for the others to get out, saying he didn't mean to betray them. Gaijin falls saying, "Daisuke-sama!"
While fleeing, fighting continues. Otoki gets hurts by either a flying dagger or ninja star of Miyuki. Enter four more ninjas and dramatic music. Hanger saves Kaoru from four dudes wielding staffs and dies while making sure Kaoru doesn't get squished by collapsing walls. Kaoru still doesn't understand why they're sacrificing themselves for him. Hanger says it's because he'll never forget even if Sasuke has forgotten.
Now the evil man look-a-like appears to save Kaoru who tells him what happen to Hanger.
Evil man look-a-like: Let's go!
Kaoru: Stop it, I'm not Sasuke!
Evil man look-a-like: That's why! That's why I'm telling you to flee!
Kaoru: Eh?
Evil man look-a-like: I know you're not Sasuke! Even so, for a while you gave everyone a nice dream!
Enter Hatori. Evil man look-a-like and Hatori fight. Miyuki appears and stabs evil man look-a-like in the back. Before he dies, evil man look-a-like takes out dynamite and sacrifices himself while taking Hatori and Miyuki along with him.
Kaoru: Please, please stop this!
Enter Daisuke-sama who fights same remaining ninjas. He calls out for Otoki.
Daisuke (to Kaoru): Are you alright? Then, here.
He hands Kaoru the coat.
Daisuke: I thought I could borrow its time power and save everyone, but I don't know how to use this kimono's power. Otoki, please save Otoki!
He dies and Otoki appears. She dies saving Kaoru as well. Slow motion where all the acting troupe gets slaughter while Kaoru looks on in horror.
Otoki: Take our thoughts/hearts with you, all the way to that future! I wanted to see it, that country with you!
Kaoru puts on the coat and picks up a sword. He activates the 'swordsmanship' mode of the coat and kills all the remaining bad guys. (DAMN, pissed off Ohno in a seriously killing mode shouldn't be so hot, but he is. O.o)
Afterwards, Kaoru is in shock at what he's done. The time machine music comes back on and Kaoru shouts, "Wait! Not like this!"
End first half.
1864:
The scene starts off the Kaoru (played by Ohno) running away from a group of swordsmen who are out to get him.
Kaoru (played by Ohno, reading his wristband which says 1864): Enough already! I have no idea what the hell is going on!
Swordsmen: Finally found you!
Kaoru: I think you have me mistaken for someone else!
Swordmen: Mistaken?! If you think that will allow you to escape, you're taking us for fools! Eh?! Are you awake, Souji!
Kaoru: I told you, I'm Kaoru! Kasamine Kaoru!
Swordsmen: There's no way that can be the case! Only Souji would have that kind of sleepy looking face!
(tayuri: *points up* The 'sleepy' face they were talking about. XDDD OH OHNO YOU UTTERLY LOVABLE DORK.)
Fight scene. Kaoru gets saved by two guys dressed in red and black from his Bakamatsu play who introduce themselves as part of the Shinsengumi (?).
Guy 1: Huh Souji? What the heck are you doing with these guys?
Guy 2: Running away? That's not like you!
Kaoru: I have no clue what's going on, but now, while I have the chance!
Guy 2: What's going on with him?
Guy 1: That's not like him!
Kaoru falls back into the time slip. Enter Souji!
(Awesome fight scene where Ohno kicks ass! DAMN! Really makes you wish you had Bakamatsu too, huh? Dear Johnny-san, I think you ought to release Bakamatsu-banpu on DVD as well, I don't need my left kidney, really!)
Guys: Souji?!
Souji: Are you two alright? What is it?
Guys: What's that you just now?
Souji: Sorry I meant to come earlier but I was asleep.
Guys: So who was that guy just now?
Opening credits (You know, I could really do wo/the chicks in white flitting about >.>):
Back in 2006:
Enter evil man (Himuro) and lady minion (Miki) and the two sidekicks. After Kaoru comes back from the time slip, Miki and the two sidekicks check him over to see if he's all right.
Sidekicks: Ready, set!
Sidekicks + Kaoru: "A no Arashi!" (XDDD)
Kaoru: Cut that out!
Ohno yells at evil man for what the heck happened to him, describing the fact that he was being chased by guys with swords and if it wasn't for the two allies that showed up, he'd be dead. Miki says that Kaoru had gone back to 1864, the time called 'Bakamatsu' during Meiji era. Evil man laughs and tells Kaoru about the greatness of the possibility of time slip. Also, that the main gadget for time travel is the coat. Kaoru says this wasn't what he signed up for and takes out the flyer that he'd seen/responded to. More arguments. Kaoru complains he could have died and evil man replies that he should have put the suit in 'active' mode. There are four options--swordsmanship, kung fu, dance and 'love' mode. Kaoru yells the last isn't necessary and they take it out (BOO OHNO BOO, I WANT TO SEE YOU GET IT ON... XDDD). More arguments regarding Kaoru not wanting to go on with the experiments and the evil man replies he has no dreams and that Kaoru has no family/friends that would be sad if he died. (NOTE: This is IMPORTANT!) Kaoru gets angry and goes after evil man and ends up fighting the two sidekicks (given orders to kill Kaoru). They end up activating the time machine again.
Kaoru: I can't die yet!
1623:
Set change covered up by having a member of the acting troupe say some (apparently?) funny lines. He does it in accented Japanese so it's hard to understand, but he does say "Kansha Kangeki Ame Arashi" somewhere. It's a butai in a butai. <-- This might make more sense in a bit. I'm pretty sure they're enacting Sengokupu which was Ohno's first butai in the Puu series in 2003.

Enter Kaoru who disrupts the play and then collapses wo/saying his name just, "I'm..."
Kaoru wakes up, surrounded by the 1623 version of evil man and the two sidekicks, and freaks out.
Evil man look-a-like: Yo!
Kaoru: Oh, Himuro!
Sidekicks: You're awake!
Kaoru: You guys too?!
Sidekicks: We'll go get everyone, let's go, go!
Evil man look-a-like: Isn't this great? You're awake!
Kaoru: Just what are you planning to do with me?!
Ohno yells at the evil man look-a-lie, excusing him of using people for bad ends and such.
Enter the other actors from the butai, one of which HANGS ONTO Kaoru.
Hanger: Where have you been until now?
Kaoru: Let go of me!
Hanger: No, I'll never let you go again! Never let you go! (O.o)
They start yelling at Ohno for interrupting the play which caused Otoki (Minami's character) to hurt herself and tell him to apologize to her. The one who hangs onto Kaoru starts calling him Sasuke and says it wasn't in Sasuke's intention for her to get hurt. Kaoru yells at them that he's not joking (when the 'gaijin' (in the butai) accuses him of joking) and his real name is Kaoru. More talking.
He realizes its 1623 from looking at the wristband and that the look-a-likes aren't the evil man and sidekicks. He does some calculations and realize that he's in a time with samurais still (figures he's still in the Bakamatsu era). He thinks they're still going to kill him and figures this is the time to activate his suit, but doesn't quite get how to start it. (Someone also accuses him of sniffing/eating some sort of funny mushroom. LOL)
Another someone presses a button and Kaoru starts dancing, then fights with a 'sword', then fights with kung fu (HIS FACE IS HILARIOUS DURING THIS PART XDDD). Eventually his body can't keep him and Kaoru collapses again.
Kaoru: It's done. But my body can't keep up...
The four actors left discuss whether this is really Sasuke. The hanger thinks it's him, but Saizo argues it can't be, Sasuke's dead. More arguments with Minami yelling at the leader (Daisuke) to not badmouth Sasuke and they end up deciding to have Kaoru take Saizo's part in the play tomorrow. Right before that the 'gaijin' says something along the lines of "Don't forget our real motive!" (What could that be? :x) The hanger on carries Kaoru away and says, "Let's go, Sasuke. It's been a while since we've made clay figurines." (XDDD)
Back in 2006:
Sidekicks don't realize evil man is behind them and end up saying, "Let's go to Saitama" when asked what the situation was. Evil man and sidekicks talk about the situation. Miki is off researching the earlier incident and the two sidekicks are sent off as well.
1623:
Butai scene with the two groups fighting again. Fusuke (Kaoru's/Otoki's butai character) apparently replaced one of the dude's sword with flowers. Enter villagers and the 'bad' guy states he's going to deal with all of them.
Kaoru: That's what I've been waiting for!
Swordsmen: Where is that coming from?
Curtains open. Enter Kaoru as Fusuke.
Everyone: Fusuke-san!
(tayuri: LOL Ohno looks so uncomfortable and stiff here, his face is great XD)
'Gaijin' character: What are you doing? It's your line!
Kaoru: It's too long, I don't remember it!
'Gaijin' character: Fusuke-san! You're suppose to be making things better between the villagers and the samurai!
Raizou (played by Daisuke) says Sengokupuu isn't just Fusuke and to leave it to him and Kaoru replies that they should do that. The 'gaijin' tells him this is his job and grabs his jacket and forces him down onto the stage.
'Bad' guy: What do you plan on doing Fusuke?
Kaoru: No, I...
Villagers: Save us, Fusuke-san!
Kaoru: Everyone... let's get along! Later!
Butai people fall over and tell him this is the important part, that he should do such and such as they want.
Kaoru: For now, let's focus on peace! Instead of killing people, let's use our energy on more fun things! Isn't that good?
More arguments and they end up pissing Kaoru off.
Kaoru: Give me a break! Everyone's always hitting and resorting to violence, let's focus on fun things! Everyone, follow me!
Kaoru starts dancing, rocking it out with a 'guitar'. XDDD
tayuri: There's also a close-up of them rolling hips (think TOP SECRET <333) and even a hip thrust (think Rain). (PAUSE, REPLAY, PAUSE... and replay again x10 XDDD)
Everyone starts dancing as well. Kaoru runs through the audience (tayuri: DAMN YOU LUCKY FANGIRLS. I WANT TO TOUCH SWEATY OHNO TOO.). Kaoru ends by doing the solo dance sequence (or part of it) from Rain (tayuri: ;D TK is awesome just for trying to spot all these little Arashi-related moments!). Butai ends.
Evil lady minion, Miki (...maybe) makes a quick appearance.
Kaoru: What the hell am I doing? This isn't the time for such things. Why isn't it 2006 even thought it's set as such? Why aren't I Satoshi? (tayuri: Oi, don't you mean Kaoru??) What do I have to do to have that "Bang" so I can go back?
(tayuri: Man on left is the 'hanger' and man on the right is the 'gaijin' sorry if it's been confusing, that's how I remember things >.>)
Hanger: Wa~!!!! Those were some awesome moves, Sasuke! Even if you're an idiot, at least your body remembers!
Kaoru: I'm not an idiot!
Everyone: Good work!
Cheering ensues. Apparently the butai was a huge success. Evil man look-a-like thanks Kaoru for taking part in the play and remarks that he really thought about his dance part. Otoki asks if that means they don't need her anymore. Everyone replies that's not it and then the hanger guy compliments Kaoru on his dance moves. Kaoru states he used to 'dansu' and Otoki is confused. Kaoru realizes that 'dansu' hasn't been invented yet. 'Gaijin' asks if Kaoru is the type that only says incomprehensible things. Hanger basically squees, saying that's just like Sasuke and the 'gaijin' replies that he's being disgusting.
Evil man look-a-like brings the 'leader' (Daisuke) onto the set, who is apparently upset. Hanger says it's because Sasuke became popular and so Daisuke is jealous, esp. since the woman he loves (Otoki) is now in love with Sasuke. Everyone but Kaoru and evil man look-a-like run off.
Kaoru says it's unexpected, that everyone in the samurai/ninja time (Edo period) acts in such a 'fun' manner. He thought they'd be all serious and killing each other and stuff. Evil man look-a-like says that's not the case, there's no way everyone can dance and have fun like Sasuke wanted during the butai. Kaoru replies that in the future, it is possible for men and women to have fun and dance together. Evil man look-a-like says in saying that Sasuke has remembered the past and that it's time! (What past??? ;x)
Enter Miki look-a-like who comes in saying that they've finally been discovered and there's no need for Sasuke to remember such things as they will all die here. Enter more ninja warriors. Kaoru originally thought the Miki look-a-like is after him.
Enter Hatori Hanzo, who compliments the Miki look-a-like and calls her Miyuki. Apparently Hatori Hanzo and the actors are in some sort of conflict. Fighting ensues. Some members of the acting troupe get killed. Kaoru stops Hatori from killing Otoki.
During their struggle, Hatori activates the 'kung fu' mode of the coat.
Kaoru ends up pulling Hatori's wig, revealing his bald head. (LOL, XDDD)
Set change with Hatori and Miyuki talking about Sasuke (they thought he died in Osaka). This part is hilarious as Miyuki keeps trying to fix Hatori's wig. (XDDD)
Hatori: No one found out right?
Miyuki: Yes.
Hatori: No one saw right?
Miyuki: Yes.
Hatori: No one found out, right?! Tell me, Miyuki~!!!
Cave scene:
The remaining actors grieve over the deaths of the other members. Kaoru asks what the heck just happened, which pisses off the 'gaijin' who replies by saying he still can't remember in such situation. Evil man look-a-like states they weren't just waiting upon Sasuke's memory to come back. He goes on explain that Hatori is part of the Tokugawa regime that is out to get the Sanada clan (which the five remaining actors are a part of). They argue over who Sasuke's done (XDDD). 'Gaijin' claims Sasuke's done Otoki, which causes Otoki, Daisuke and the hanger to be all indignant. Otoki is apparently also a shinobi. Evil man look-a-like goes on to talk about how they've all hidden and lived to see the day that they can get either revenge or take back what they've lost.
Kaoru tells them he wants no part in it. 'Gaijin' character goes nuts and Kaoru is defended by the hanger, saying Sasuke's just not feeling well. Daisuke and Otoki leave as well. Evil man look-a-like asks Kaoru to stay with them, saying that Sasuke's presence has a good influence on everyone.
Night scene:
The two brothers (aka the 'gaijin' and 'hanger') meet up during... guard shifts, I think. Hanger sees a hair comb on the 'gaijin' and says it smells like Hatori's woman and goes off saying he hates women.
'Gaijin': She was beautiful. But if I remember correctly, her name was Miyuki.
Hanger: You... you can't be... in love right?
'Gaijin': What are you saying? There's no way! Even if we're brothers, you can't say something like that!
Hanger: Sorry, sorry. Yeah, you're right. What's wrong?
'Gaijin': Can we win this fight?
Hanger: Of course, Sasuke's back!
More talking and they run off.
Enter Kaoru who talks to himself and then 'hides'. (tayuri: XDDD Great spot, Ohno, really.) Enter Otoki whose arm is now better. She starts mimicking Kaoru's earlier performance as Fusuke.
Otoki: Whoa! It's you!
Kaoru: Yo!
Otoki: What are you doing?
Kaoru: I just saw you doing that dance. Did you like it, that dance?
Otoki: Thanks.
Kaoru: Eh?
Otoki: You saved me back then, thanks.
Kaoru: Ah, ah. Oh. What?
Otoki: You... you're Sasuke aren't you? A different Sasuke, dressed somewhat foolishly, but somehow you came here for us.
Otoki goes on to telling Kaoru about Sasuke, how he wanted to live (to make people smile via dance and other 'fun' things)--that even though he met a shinobi, he didn't want to fight. Otoki wants to be like Sasuke.
Kaoru: Were you in love with him?
Otoki: Eh?
Kaoru: Ah, I mean that Sasuke guy.
Otoki: Dunno... but living like Sasuke is good I think. Creating a huge ship and setting out into the larger world was what Sasuke's dream was.
More talk about Sasuke and Otoki says she wants to see people's smile using her shinobi. Kaoru thinks that's awesome that something like that transferred to Saizo.
Kaoru: That's why I was happy, earlier when you mimicked my 'dansu' or dance I should say. Because I've never made anyone happy with anything I did until now. "You're not needed" is something I'm told often. I don't know either my father's or mother's face.
Kaoru does the "Arashi, Arashi for dream" dance continuing along the lines of what he was talking about.
Otoki says they're companions now and continues talking about Sasuke and his dream. Kaoru thinks it'll will be good for the world definitely if she continues that dream with 'fun' dance and butai.
Otoki: Definitely?
Kaoru: Because that's where I'm from. You might not believe it but I'm from the far future of this country.
Otoki: Far future of this country?
Kaoru: This, when I wear this, it allows me to jump through time, to live in the past and the future.
Otoki: No way.
Kaoru: Well, I don't really know how to do the time thing right now, but really everything from before is due to this 'kid' (he means the coat).
Kaoru has Otoki try the coat and activates the 'kung fu' mode. He gets smacked in the face when he gets too close. XDDD Then he activates the 'dance' mode.
Otoki: Are? Are: My body is doing this on its own.
Kaoru: See, isn't that cool?
Otoki: Shinobi arts?
Kaoru: Didn't I say, it's all due to that coat?
They start dancing. (Why so pretty Ohno? Now I have a sudden urge to see Ohno do ballet... maybe just for the tights >.>)
Otoki: That far-off country seems like a lot of fun. You, you don't need to wear this?
Kaoru: I said it didn't I? That I can dance.
Mysterious figure follows the two off stage. (Who could that be?)
Next morning:
Otoki: Morning! What's wrong?
Kaoru: It's not here! Not here, my coat!
Otoki: Coat?
Kaoru: Ah, you know the long, white thing I'm always wearing?
Otoki: Ah, this thing? *dances*
Kaoru: That, that!
Otoki: I gave it back to you last night, didn't I?
Kaoru: You did, but it went somewhere while I was asleep.
Otoki: Eh?
Kaoru: Where could it be?
Otoki: Maybe the wind blew it somewhere. Oh! Maybe it walked out on its own, using that power from the future.
Kaoru: There's no way that would happen!
Otoki: Well, how would I know that?!
Kaoru: That's fine, just help me look for it!
Someone comes onto the scene and knocks Kaoru out.
Enter ninjas and Hatori Hanzo. Kaoru wakes up and they argue. Kaoru accuses him of stealing his coat, but Hatori doesn't know what he's talking about. Right when Kaoru gets in trouble, the 'wind' blows in and the Sanada clan appears. They start fighting and Miyuki appears. Kaoru doesn't understand why they came for him and Otoki says it's b/c they're friends. The 'gaijin' betrays them, seems he liked Miyuki that much. Kaoru thinks it's the 'gaijin' that stole his coat. The 'gaijin' says he's been waiting for seven years and even w/Sasuke, he's just a failure/fake. Hatori says this is the end of the line for them. The 'gaijin' protests that Hatori promised to save them if he helped them out, but Hatori just slices him. More fighting, Gaijin (Ishita) sacrifices himself for the others to get out, saying he didn't mean to betray them. Gaijin falls saying, "Daisuke-sama!"
While fleeing, fighting continues. Otoki gets hurts by either a flying dagger or ninja star of Miyuki. Enter four more ninjas and dramatic music. Hanger saves Kaoru from four dudes wielding staffs and dies while making sure Kaoru doesn't get squished by collapsing walls. Kaoru still doesn't understand why they're sacrificing themselves for him. Hanger says it's because he'll never forget even if Sasuke has forgotten.
Now the evil man look-a-like appears to save Kaoru who tells him what happen to Hanger.
Evil man look-a-like: Let's go!
Kaoru: Stop it, I'm not Sasuke!
Evil man look-a-like: That's why! That's why I'm telling you to flee!
Kaoru: Eh?
Evil man look-a-like: I know you're not Sasuke! Even so, for a while you gave everyone a nice dream!
Enter Hatori. Evil man look-a-like and Hatori fight. Miyuki appears and stabs evil man look-a-like in the back. Before he dies, evil man look-a-like takes out dynamite and sacrifices himself while taking Hatori and Miyuki along with him.
Kaoru: Please, please stop this!
Enter Daisuke-sama who fights same remaining ninjas. He calls out for Otoki.
Daisuke (to Kaoru): Are you alright? Then, here.
He hands Kaoru the coat.
Daisuke: I thought I could borrow its time power and save everyone, but I don't know how to use this kimono's power. Otoki, please save Otoki!
He dies and Otoki appears. She dies saving Kaoru as well. Slow motion where all the acting troupe gets slaughter while Kaoru looks on in horror.
Otoki: Take our thoughts/hearts with you, all the way to that future! I wanted to see it, that country with you!
Kaoru puts on the coat and picks up a sword. He activates the 'swordsmanship' mode of the coat and kills all the remaining bad guys. (DAMN, pissed off Ohno in a seriously killing mode shouldn't be so hot, but he is. O.o)
Afterwards, Kaoru is in shock at what he's done. The time machine music comes back on and Kaoru shouts, "Wait! Not like this!"
End first half.
Second half start.
Back in 2006:
Kaoru wakes up on the floor in front of the time machine. He checks the wristband.
Kaoru: 2006? Have I returned?
Man: Who's there?
Kaoru: Who are you?
Man: Kasamine-kun?
Kaoru: Kasamine-kun?
Man: It's me. (It's Hatori's equivalent in 2006).
Kaoru: Oh Hatori Hanzo!
Hatori look-a-like: Why did you come back? Didn't you say you wanted to run away from this time period?
Kaoru: What about you?
Hatori 2: After I sent you off, I became curious about other places and the time machine.
Kaoru starts gripping his head in pain. Hatori 2 checks him over and tells him it's better for him not to jump in time, that doing so is exhausting his life energy. Enter Miki 3, who's now dressed as some sort of general. She names the two guys as this 2006's Kasamine and Himoru people. They start chatting and it seems that since 400 years ago, acting and dancing has been basically wiped out of the country. Kaoru realizes that history has changed since they died in the past he was in. He asks Hatori 2 to let him go back no matter the consequences. Fighting ensues. Miki 3 shoots Hatori 2 and threatens to do the same to Kaoru. Kaoru says that no matter where he goes, she's always trouble. Before the two random henchmen can take him off, the time machine is activated again.
Miki 3: Don't run away!
Kaoru: I'm not running away! I will return things back to the way they were!
Time slip where Kaoru meets Kaoru.
1623 again (right after the butai ends in the first half):
Things repeat again as the brothers and acting troupe greet Kaoru with happiness from the success of their play.
Kaoru: Everyone's alive! You're all alive! YES!!! Alive, alive, alive! Yes!
Gaijin wonders what Kaoru's doing. Hanger replies he's probably re-enacting that dance scene and everyone agrees again. Hanger goes up to Kaoru and mimicks his movements from earlier, making Kaoru realize that perhaps things haven't changed yet.
Kaoru: Wai-, wait a minute! When is it?
Everyone: When is it?
Kaoru: I mean, what was I just doing?
Gaijin: What do you mean, you were just on stage!
Kaoru realizes that he's come back in time to just before all the bad things. Other things repeat including the 'kimochi warui' to the hanger from the 'gaijin'.
Kaoru: Which means... the terrible things are going to happen from now on!
Evil man look-a-like: What's wrong?
Kaoru: It's dangerous, let's get away!
Otoki: What?
Kaoru: Have you forgotten what's goign to happen here?
Gaijin: The one who's forgotten past things is you!
Kaoru: Ah, that's it! Everything's going to happen from now on!
Kaoru gets nuts realizing that everyone has no idea what's going to happen. He starts going off on the evil man look-a-like's line and he's like, how did you know that?
Enter Miyuki with her "There's no need to remember things" line.
Evil man look-a-like: Who's there?
Kaoru: That's Hatori Hanzo's ninja woman, Miyuki!
Miyuki (nearly slips): How did you know that?!
Kaoru (to the 'gaijin'): It's trouble if you talk to her!
Gaijin: Eh?!
Miyuki: Go!
Enter ninjas.
Kaoru: That's why I said let's get out of here!
Hatori: Good job! Miyuki.
Kaoru: Ah, he's here!
Hatori starts going off on his little speech and is pissed that the Sanada people are ignoring him. Kaoru tells Hatori to leave them alone. As Hatori continues talking, Kaoru gets pissed off and pulls the wig off Hatori's head. The ninjas go after the wig and Kaoru turns on the 'kung fu' mode of the coat and fights, allowing the others to escape.
Scene change again with Hatori talking and Miyuki trying to fix his wig. This time she leaves it on sloppily on the third try saying "I think it'll be more interesting this way." (XDDD I love how she can't even keep from cracking up, LOL.)
Back at the cave:
Everyone's alive! The 1623 version of the two sidekicks are impressed with Kaoru's earlier 'kung fu' and asks him to take them with him. One of the acting girls ask the evil man look-a-like what their earlier meeting was about. The Sanada five try to make up something but Kaoru ruins it for them, spilling the beans about everyone.
Hanger: Wait a minute! Sasuke, does this mean you remember the past?
Kaoru: Remember? You guys told me earlier!
Hanger: Is that it? That's awesome!
The Sanada five decides that since their cover has been blown, they ought to go after Hatori Hanzo. Kaoru tells them to not go, to stay there and live. He also reveals that the 'gaijin' will betray them. More talking ensues and the evil man look-a-like says it doesn't matter if they die. Kaoru says they cannot die, no matter what! That in order to make a world where men and women can dance freely, they absolutely cannot die!
More arguments and they basically ignore what Kaoru says. They disperse and evil man look-a-like comments that Kaoru hasn't changed at ll (from Sasuke). He goes on to say they will fight on.
The two sidekicks pop up again and tell Kaoru that they'll follow him. "Captain!" (XDDD)
The two brother scene again only in reverse this time with the hanger having the haircomb rather than the gaijin, who accuses him of planning to betray them. The hanger protests that it can't be his, he has no interest in women. They argue over who should take it and the gaijin says "I don't think I should hold onto this, I don't really know why." They leave.
Enter Saizo/Otoki who dances again. Kaoru pops up behind her saying, "As I thought, you liked that dance huh?" She states there's no way he can be Sasuke and Kaoru replies that he told them how many times that he's Kaoru. He tries to convince her to tell everyone to get out of here and to not go after Hatori, that she wanted to live like Sasuke, that making people smile was what made her happy. When she asks how he knows all that, he replies that they had a conversation about it but Otoki doesn't remember that. He tries to explain about their 'other' night but she doesn't remember the dancing either. Kaoru says that he can prove that he knows what's going on but exposing Daisuke (also called Tesaboro?) who was listening in the conversation. They continue talking/arguing with Saizo almost running off to talk to everyone but Daisuke stopping her. During this time, Kaoru has another attack from the stress of time traveling.
The next morning, unlike before, Kaoru's coat is not missing but something/someone else is. Turns out Saizo has gone ahead to Hatori's but left a note telling everyone to flee. Daisuke blames it on Kaoru, saying Saizo believed in the things he said. The four of them decide to go after Saizo and Daisuke tells Kaoru to stay behind, that he will protect Saizo.
The two sidekicks pop in again.
Sidekicks: Good morning!! Ah, you think he's sleeping?
Kaoru: You two... you said you'd follow me right?
Sidekick 1: Ohmiya?
Sidekick 2: MA?
Kaoru: Not MA! It's SK!! I didn't say such a thing!
Sidekick: Yes!
Scene changes to castle scene with Hatori and Saizo. Hatori bullies her to tell him where the others are. They argue where Saizo threatens to kill him if he kills the others.
The 'wind' brings in the other four and fighting ensues. Miyuki appears as well. Hatori asks where the other is and Daisuke replies that Kaoru isn't coming, but then he shows up. More talking where Kaoru says only he knows about that other time, so he won't allow the same thing to happen twice. Hatori tells his minions to go after them but their swords have turned in flowers. Go sidekicks!
Kaoru tells the other to escape while he activates the 'kung fu' mode of the coat, saying "I won't let anyone die!" Fighting ensues.
Chase scenes again. Kaoru shows up in time to deflect whatever that Miyuki threw that hurt Saizo last time. The four ninjas show up and Miyuki thinks she's got them but it turns out the ninjas are the girls from the acting troupe. The guys with the staffs show up again but Kaoru makes it in time to stop them, yelling for them to not fight. He karate kicks/punches everyone away from the collapsing wall and no one ends up dying.
When they think they're in the clear, Hatori and Miyuki show up again. Kaoru goes, "Crap, I forget they were going to appear again."
Hatori: If you want to save his life, lay down your weapons!
Everyone does what Hatori says. More fighting and Hatori grabs the coat from Kaoru. Kaoru yells at Hatori to leave them alone and yells at the Sanadas to stop fighting, to stop their quest for revenge. More slow motion fighting ensues with Kaoru going berserk in trying to keep everyone from killing each other (he fights bare-handedly wo/the jacket).
Kaoru grabs the dynamite from the evil man look-a-like and yells, "STOP IT!!!" The little minions flee in terror.
Kaoru: I, I won't let anyone die!
Daisuke: Why, why would you go so far to save us?
Kaoru: There's a need for your 'creative' power from now on.
Daisuke: From now on? 'Creative' power?
Kaoru: Your names won't go down into history but if you live, you will be forever connected to our future country. Moreover, in another time, you guys were my friends. Even if you were mistaken, even if you didn't know the real me, you still said you needed me. I wanted to retun that. (tayuri: *bawling* ;_; WHAT, I CRY AT MULAN TOO.)
The gaijin wants to run off and finish things, but then Daisuke reveals a change of heart, saying he doesn't think his father's way is correct and that he would rather live on with everyone. He tells them to stop, that it's a direct order from the Sanada head. The others kneel down and agree. In the end, they decide to let Hatori and Miyuki live.
Daisuke gives Kaoru back his coat. Kaoru puts it on.
Saizo: Kasamine Kaoru-kun you said?
Kaoru has another attack. The two real sidekicks show up and knock both Daisuke and Saizo aside. They shock Daisuke when they try to protect him. Kaoru tells them that they're from his time and to leave it, but still Daisuke and Saizo try to escape with Kaoru. Evil man look-a-like shows up but it's really the evil man!
Kaoru asks him how he's here wo/the coat and he reveals he has another wristband. He knocks out Daisuke and Saizo and goes off on his rant. Kaoru tries to fight him and activates the time change. Kaoru tells Daisuke and Saizo to take the coat, to live on and change the world.
Saizo: Kaoru! How can it be that you saved us but will die?!
Kaoru: It's fine if I die, there's no one to grieve for me!
Saizo: Don't give up! This time we will come to save you! Def-, definitely!
Girls dancing in white again to portray what happens while evil man and Kaoru are in the time slip. Kaoru wonders what's going on and the evil man says it's the effect of time change. Kaoru tells the evil man that they should die here and leave everything alone.
Miki shows up and tells him to hurry, that the time machine is about to end. The two sidekicks try to get evil man to take them back as well but he knocks them out of the way. He also tries to kill Kaoru but Miki pushes him out of the way, yelling "Stop it!"
Evil man is confused by Miki's change of heart but he gets dragged down by the dancing, masked people and the two sidekicks.
Miki: Hang in there!
Kaoru: I'm done for!
Miki: Don't throw yourself away! Live for your own sake! You are necessary! So live, live KASAMINE KAORU!
Kaoru: I will not end, I'll live on!
Kaoru escapes and evil man doesn't.
Miki: Hang in there! Please, open your eyes! Are you all right?
Kaoru: Where is this?
Miki: Himoru-sensei's lab, you've returned to 2006!
Kaoru: 2006.
Miki: I'm sorry that such things with the time machine happened, but I'm glad that we were able to save you this time! Expt. 208, Kasamine Kaoru right? I've been waiting for this day.
Kaoru: Am I that person?
Miki: Eh?
Kaoru: I'm Kasamine? Who am I? Who, who?
Miki: No it can't be! The results of time travel! Remember, please! Remember! Save Kazamine Kaoru, that's what I was told. No, not just me, from four hundred years ago on down down the line. That I could meet you in this time and place, that's why I entered this research. To save Kazamine Kaoru! I was told to save you no matter what!
Flashback:
Everyone living in happiness with Hatori as a servant. Miki reveals that since that time, no matter how tough the times, they have remembered Kaoru and drew courage from the idea that they could meet him again in 2006, never once giving up. The coat was passed down from generation to generation, to now be returned to Kaoru. (If you're not crying or tearing up by now, I'll hit you. :P)
Miki: Even if you have forgotten, we will never forget you.
In the background, everyone is now on a ship, sailing out to "that sea, no, to that sky where Kaoru is in the future!" (Saizo's line)
Kaoru: Tha-, thank you.
Miki: Now, somehow...! (I think she means somehow Kaoru is able to remember and come back to himself after he realizes that he hasn't been forgotten.)
~ owari ~
Back in 2006:
Kaoru wakes up on the floor in front of the time machine. He checks the wristband.
Kaoru: 2006? Have I returned?
Man: Who's there?
Kaoru: Who are you?
Man: Kasamine-kun?
Kaoru: Kasamine-kun?
Man: It's me. (It's Hatori's equivalent in 2006).
Kaoru: Oh Hatori Hanzo!
Hatori look-a-like: Why did you come back? Didn't you say you wanted to run away from this time period?
Kaoru: What about you?
Hatori 2: After I sent you off, I became curious about other places and the time machine.
Kaoru starts gripping his head in pain. Hatori 2 checks him over and tells him it's better for him not to jump in time, that doing so is exhausting his life energy. Enter Miki 3, who's now dressed as some sort of general. She names the two guys as this 2006's Kasamine and Himoru people. They start chatting and it seems that since 400 years ago, acting and dancing has been basically wiped out of the country. Kaoru realizes that history has changed since they died in the past he was in. He asks Hatori 2 to let him go back no matter the consequences. Fighting ensues. Miki 3 shoots Hatori 2 and threatens to do the same to Kaoru. Kaoru says that no matter where he goes, she's always trouble. Before the two random henchmen can take him off, the time machine is activated again.
Miki 3: Don't run away!
Kaoru: I'm not running away! I will return things back to the way they were!
Time slip where Kaoru meets Kaoru.
1623 again (right after the butai ends in the first half):
Things repeat again as the brothers and acting troupe greet Kaoru with happiness from the success of their play.
Kaoru: Everyone's alive! You're all alive! YES!!! Alive, alive, alive! Yes!
Gaijin wonders what Kaoru's doing. Hanger replies he's probably re-enacting that dance scene and everyone agrees again. Hanger goes up to Kaoru and mimicks his movements from earlier, making Kaoru realize that perhaps things haven't changed yet.
Kaoru: Wai-, wait a minute! When is it?
Everyone: When is it?
Kaoru: I mean, what was I just doing?
Gaijin: What do you mean, you were just on stage!
Kaoru realizes that he's come back in time to just before all the bad things. Other things repeat including the 'kimochi warui' to the hanger from the 'gaijin'.
Kaoru: Which means... the terrible things are going to happen from now on!
Evil man look-a-like: What's wrong?
Kaoru: It's dangerous, let's get away!
Otoki: What?
Kaoru: Have you forgotten what's goign to happen here?
Gaijin: The one who's forgotten past things is you!
Kaoru: Ah, that's it! Everything's going to happen from now on!
Kaoru gets nuts realizing that everyone has no idea what's going to happen. He starts going off on the evil man look-a-like's line and he's like, how did you know that?
Enter Miyuki with her "There's no need to remember things" line.
Evil man look-a-like: Who's there?
Kaoru: That's Hatori Hanzo's ninja woman, Miyuki!
Miyuki (nearly slips): How did you know that?!
Kaoru (to the 'gaijin'): It's trouble if you talk to her!
Gaijin: Eh?!
Miyuki: Go!
Enter ninjas.
Kaoru: That's why I said let's get out of here!
Hatori: Good job! Miyuki.
Kaoru: Ah, he's here!
Hatori starts going off on his little speech and is pissed that the Sanada people are ignoring him. Kaoru tells Hatori to leave them alone. As Hatori continues talking, Kaoru gets pissed off and pulls the wig off Hatori's head. The ninjas go after the wig and Kaoru turns on the 'kung fu' mode of the coat and fights, allowing the others to escape.
Scene change again with Hatori talking and Miyuki trying to fix his wig. This time she leaves it on sloppily on the third try saying "I think it'll be more interesting this way." (XDDD I love how she can't even keep from cracking up, LOL.)
Back at the cave:
Everyone's alive! The 1623 version of the two sidekicks are impressed with Kaoru's earlier 'kung fu' and asks him to take them with him. One of the acting girls ask the evil man look-a-like what their earlier meeting was about. The Sanada five try to make up something but Kaoru ruins it for them, spilling the beans about everyone.
Hanger: Wait a minute! Sasuke, does this mean you remember the past?
Kaoru: Remember? You guys told me earlier!
Hanger: Is that it? That's awesome!
The Sanada five decides that since their cover has been blown, they ought to go after Hatori Hanzo. Kaoru tells them to not go, to stay there and live. He also reveals that the 'gaijin' will betray them. More talking ensues and the evil man look-a-like says it doesn't matter if they die. Kaoru says they cannot die, no matter what! That in order to make a world where men and women can dance freely, they absolutely cannot die!
More arguments and they basically ignore what Kaoru says. They disperse and evil man look-a-like comments that Kaoru hasn't changed at ll (from Sasuke). He goes on to say they will fight on.
The two sidekicks pop up again and tell Kaoru that they'll follow him. "Captain!" (XDDD)
The two brother scene again only in reverse this time with the hanger having the haircomb rather than the gaijin, who accuses him of planning to betray them. The hanger protests that it can't be his, he has no interest in women. They argue over who should take it and the gaijin says "I don't think I should hold onto this, I don't really know why." They leave.
Enter Saizo/Otoki who dances again. Kaoru pops up behind her saying, "As I thought, you liked that dance huh?" She states there's no way he can be Sasuke and Kaoru replies that he told them how many times that he's Kaoru. He tries to convince her to tell everyone to get out of here and to not go after Hatori, that she wanted to live like Sasuke, that making people smile was what made her happy. When she asks how he knows all that, he replies that they had a conversation about it but Otoki doesn't remember that. He tries to explain about their 'other' night but she doesn't remember the dancing either. Kaoru says that he can prove that he knows what's going on but exposing Daisuke (also called Tesaboro?) who was listening in the conversation. They continue talking/arguing with Saizo almost running off to talk to everyone but Daisuke stopping her. During this time, Kaoru has another attack from the stress of time traveling.
The next morning, unlike before, Kaoru's coat is not missing but something/someone else is. Turns out Saizo has gone ahead to Hatori's but left a note telling everyone to flee. Daisuke blames it on Kaoru, saying Saizo believed in the things he said. The four of them decide to go after Saizo and Daisuke tells Kaoru to stay behind, that he will protect Saizo.
The two sidekicks pop in again.
Sidekicks: Good morning!! Ah, you think he's sleeping?
Kaoru: You two... you said you'd follow me right?
Sidekick 1: Ohmiya?
Sidekick 2: MA?
Kaoru: Not MA! It's SK!! I didn't say such a thing!
Sidekick: Yes!
Scene changes to castle scene with Hatori and Saizo. Hatori bullies her to tell him where the others are. They argue where Saizo threatens to kill him if he kills the others.
The 'wind' brings in the other four and fighting ensues. Miyuki appears as well. Hatori asks where the other is and Daisuke replies that Kaoru isn't coming, but then he shows up. More talking where Kaoru says only he knows about that other time, so he won't allow the same thing to happen twice. Hatori tells his minions to go after them but their swords have turned in flowers. Go sidekicks!
Kaoru tells the other to escape while he activates the 'kung fu' mode of the coat, saying "I won't let anyone die!" Fighting ensues.
Chase scenes again. Kaoru shows up in time to deflect whatever that Miyuki threw that hurt Saizo last time. The four ninjas show up and Miyuki thinks she's got them but it turns out the ninjas are the girls from the acting troupe. The guys with the staffs show up again but Kaoru makes it in time to stop them, yelling for them to not fight. He karate kicks/punches everyone away from the collapsing wall and no one ends up dying.
When they think they're in the clear, Hatori and Miyuki show up again. Kaoru goes, "Crap, I forget they were going to appear again."
Hatori: If you want to save his life, lay down your weapons!
Everyone does what Hatori says. More fighting and Hatori grabs the coat from Kaoru. Kaoru yells at Hatori to leave them alone and yells at the Sanadas to stop fighting, to stop their quest for revenge. More slow motion fighting ensues with Kaoru going berserk in trying to keep everyone from killing each other (he fights bare-handedly wo/the jacket).
Kaoru grabs the dynamite from the evil man look-a-like and yells, "STOP IT!!!" The little minions flee in terror.
Kaoru: I, I won't let anyone die!
Daisuke: Why, why would you go so far to save us?
Kaoru: There's a need for your 'creative' power from now on.
Daisuke: From now on? 'Creative' power?
Kaoru: Your names won't go down into history but if you live, you will be forever connected to our future country. Moreover, in another time, you guys were my friends. Even if you were mistaken, even if you didn't know the real me, you still said you needed me. I wanted to retun that. (tayuri: *bawling* ;_; WHAT, I CRY AT MULAN TOO.)
The gaijin wants to run off and finish things, but then Daisuke reveals a change of heart, saying he doesn't think his father's way is correct and that he would rather live on with everyone. He tells them to stop, that it's a direct order from the Sanada head. The others kneel down and agree. In the end, they decide to let Hatori and Miyuki live.
Daisuke gives Kaoru back his coat. Kaoru puts it on.
Saizo: Kasamine Kaoru-kun you said?
Kaoru has another attack. The two real sidekicks show up and knock both Daisuke and Saizo aside. They shock Daisuke when they try to protect him. Kaoru tells them that they're from his time and to leave it, but still Daisuke and Saizo try to escape with Kaoru. Evil man look-a-like shows up but it's really the evil man!
Kaoru asks him how he's here wo/the coat and he reveals he has another wristband. He knocks out Daisuke and Saizo and goes off on his rant. Kaoru tries to fight him and activates the time change. Kaoru tells Daisuke and Saizo to take the coat, to live on and change the world.
Saizo: Kaoru! How can it be that you saved us but will die?!
Kaoru: It's fine if I die, there's no one to grieve for me!
Saizo: Don't give up! This time we will come to save you! Def-, definitely!
Girls dancing in white again to portray what happens while evil man and Kaoru are in the time slip. Kaoru wonders what's going on and the evil man says it's the effect of time change. Kaoru tells the evil man that they should die here and leave everything alone.
Miki shows up and tells him to hurry, that the time machine is about to end. The two sidekicks try to get evil man to take them back as well but he knocks them out of the way. He also tries to kill Kaoru but Miki pushes him out of the way, yelling "Stop it!"
Evil man is confused by Miki's change of heart but he gets dragged down by the dancing, masked people and the two sidekicks.
Miki: Hang in there!
Kaoru: I'm done for!
Miki: Don't throw yourself away! Live for your own sake! You are necessary! So live, live KASAMINE KAORU!
Kaoru: I will not end, I'll live on!
Kaoru escapes and evil man doesn't.
Miki: Hang in there! Please, open your eyes! Are you all right?
Kaoru: Where is this?
Miki: Himoru-sensei's lab, you've returned to 2006!
Kaoru: 2006.
Miki: I'm sorry that such things with the time machine happened, but I'm glad that we were able to save you this time! Expt. 208, Kasamine Kaoru right? I've been waiting for this day.
Kaoru: Am I that person?
Miki: Eh?
Kaoru: I'm Kasamine? Who am I? Who, who?
Miki: No it can't be! The results of time travel! Remember, please! Remember! Save Kazamine Kaoru, that's what I was told. No, not just me, from four hundred years ago on down down the line. That I could meet you in this time and place, that's why I entered this research. To save Kazamine Kaoru! I was told to save you no matter what!
Flashback:
Everyone living in happiness with Hatori as a servant. Miki reveals that since that time, no matter how tough the times, they have remembered Kaoru and drew courage from the idea that they could meet him again in 2006, never once giving up. The coat was passed down from generation to generation, to now be returned to Kaoru. (If you're not crying or tearing up by now, I'll hit you. :P)
Miki: Even if you have forgotten, we will never forget you.
In the background, everyone is now on a ship, sailing out to "that sea, no, to that sky where Kaoru is in the future!" (Saizo's line)
Kaoru: Tha-, thank you.
Miki: Now, somehow...! (I think she means somehow Kaoru is able to remember and come back to himself after he realizes that he hasn't been forgotten.)

From the curtain call file: SO CUTE!!! XDDD
Ohno: I love Nino this much! XDDD
Ohno: Pikachu, I chose you!
Ohno: I love Nino this much! XDDD
Ohno: Pikachu, I chose you!
I know it's been hard since we've had all these things come out (and it's only March)--Step N' Go, Freestyle, TIME DVD, and the new album--but I really hope that even if non-Ohno fans don't end up buying the DVD that more recognition will come for Ohno and that his past and future butais get released as well. I'd get the whole Puu series if I could.
Good night everyone! Take care!
