GUDETAMA: AN EGGCELLENT ADVENTURE
[sighs]
Without that secret code, we'll never find Mommy.
[Inoue] Okay.
[sighs]
Let's go over what we've got so far.
[Suzuki] Again? We've been here all night.
[sighs] I need some shuteye.
I feel you.
Here. You can have this when you wake up.
Oh?
I'm going home… to bed.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold it! Hold it! Hold it!
The presentation's tomorrow!
You're not going anywhere.
There's nothing special about this egg, is there?
It's just a normal raw egg!
You're trying to make a fool out of me so you can go home!
Jeez.
You really can't see Gude at all?
No, so show me how, huh?
What do I have to do to see Gude the way you're able to see Gude?
Don't sweat it.
A person sees the world the way they see it.
Nothing you can do.
I think they're saying you'll never be able to see them because
I think
Gude just doesn't like you.
Whoa, Gude really said that?
Yeah, kind of.
What do you say we're friends, Gude, huh?
Would you like a back rub?
[moans]
That's their rear end.
Sorry 'bout that. [chuckles]
And what about here?
[Gudetama giggles]
That's the butt again.
Ooh. [inhales]
Okay, here we go, then.
[Gudetama giggles]
That's the butt again.
How can this thing have so many butts? Where's the shoulder?
[groans]
Why in the world can't I see Gude?
Maybe you should just give it up.
Take a nice rest.
Give it up, why don't ya?
Take a nice rest.
Give up and take a rest?
If I was to do that,
then my whole life has been pointless.
No, I…
I just have to keep on trying.
I have to work harder. That's all.
[upbeat inspirational music playing]
Focus!
No pain, no gain!
Work it!
[grunts] Like this!
Yeah! How's this?
Just watching you is making me tired. [groans]
[panting]
I get it now.
[Suzuki] Oh yeah?
I imagined it all.
This is just a raw egg
and so was the one I saw the other day.
That was just some kind of trick of the mind.
No sane person could believe in talking eggs.
I think I just got dissed.
Hello in here.
How's it all going?
[gasps]
Mr. Shimada, good to see you.
Hm?!
Oh.
Suzuki thinks that raw egg's name is Gude, if you can believe it.
-Hi, Gude! -Huh?
-Oh, so you like soy sauce.
That's nice. [chuckles]
You're able to see Gude, sir?
[Shimada] Well, of course I can.
So I guess Mr. Shimada's off his rocker too, then.
Sh!
So Gude, tell me. What are you doing here, huh?
Oh, I don't know.
Finding Mommy, I guess.
Oh!
-That's a super cool premise for a series! -Huh?
-How fragile and tiny you are! -Swim. Swim.
-Ah! -[chuckles] Brave little egg.
So what exactly did Gude say?
Gude's looking for their lost mother.
Oh yeah. That would make a good show.
[Inoue] So Gude is actually real, for real?
[computer dings]
[Inoue] Well, Gude, if you wouldn't mind,
I have a few questions for you.
To start, where exactly did you come from?
So dark and cold.
I would like another.
Gude says that he would like another.
Another?
Like another world?
That's it!
Gude's an alien!
Why have you come to our world? What's your objective here?
[mysterious music playing]
[Gudetama] My objective?
To be eaten, I guess.
[Shimada] It sounds like the objective is to be eaten.
The objective is to be eaten.
Then once we've ingested you,
what happens to our human bodies?
Maybe they become more nutritious?
They become more nutritious.
[Inoue] They use humans simply as nutrients,
and then they grow inside the bodies!
You said you…
you were looking for your mother.
How'd you lose her?
[Gudetama] I've had nothing but trouble.
Seems like everybody's out to get me, even other eggs.
[Suzuki] Even their own kind are out to get them.
Wait, their own kind?
There's an inter-alien war going on?
[gasps]
War of the worlds! This is amazing!
[Inoue] This project I'm proposing
is going to shake Japan to its very foundations.
Actually, I think it's destined to change the world.
I'm due at a conference in 20 minutes here.
Shall we get on with it, then?
Right!
I've got a…
-I've got a few visual aids. -[beeps]
[beeps]
[upbeat music playing]
[Inoue] They come from outer space, and they're called Gude.
[all] Gude, gude. Gude, gude. Gude, gude.
[Inoue] Their goal is to have humans eat them,
and then they can feed off the nutrients in their hosts' bodies.
Gude. Gude.
[Inoue] The host humans are eventually taken over
and become Gude-humans.
Gude!
[all] Gude, gude.
[Inoue] Their invasion plan was working perfectly,
but then!
They lost their mother in a war with other aliens!
[thunder rumbles]
[Inoue] Will they ever be reunited with their mother?!
Will their plan to invade the Earth succeed?!
And now, we introduce Gude!
Will you get that egg away from me, please?
So he can't see you either.
[door opens]
[door closes]
[Suzuki] Poor Inoue.
I hope he'll be all right.
So, Gude, what are you gonna do now?
Seriously?
[Shakipiyo] Gudetama!
Huh?
[gasps]
[panting]
[grunting]
I found you!
-[groans] -I'm so happy!
-[chuckles] -Ah!
Sorry I didn't come sooner.
I tried,
but something kind of came up.
[sighs]
I lost Mommy's secret code somewhere.
And I don't know where.
Oh, I wouldn't worry about it.
We don't even know if we're from a chicken.
I wish you wouldn't keep on saying that.
[humming]
[gasps] There it is!
I found it!
So that's what was stuck to my chalaza.
Hey, you.
You need a hand?
Yeah. Can you read this?
[camera clicks]
OUR EGG'S BACKSTORY
It's got traceability.
-[Gudetama] Huh? -[Shakipiyo] Trace-a-what?
We can find your mom by tracing where these eggs came from.
[gasps] That thing can find our mommy?
-[Gudetama groans] -[Shakipiyo grunts]
Her name is Julia.
[grunting]
If you want, I could call these guys and find out if your mom's there.
[Shakipiyo] Oh, yes, please!
-Julia, huh? -[Gudetama groans]
Wow, that is such a beautiful name.
Yeah?
Oh man, seriously?
So they said
your mother's already been sent to a restaurant at the chicken farm.
-[Shakipiyo gasps] -So much for Mommy.
Hey, maybe we still have a chance.
And after I worked so hard.
I doubt a talking egg even exists.
[grunts]
[groans]
Uh, Inoue.
Yo.
-[triumphant music playing] -Wait a second now.
Did that egg just move?
So you can finally see me, huh?
[giggles]
We need to hurry up and get to that restaurant.
Don't tell me you found Gude's mother.
Uh-huh.
I'll go, then.
Now that I can see Gude.
Another strange turn of events.
Okay, just make sure you don't get them there too late.
You got it!
I'll do whatever it takes!
There you go, trying too hard again.
Okay, here you go then.
Huh?
-[suspenseful music playing] -[engine whirs]
[tires squeal]
[both grunt]
-[gasps] We've arrived! -[groaning]
[suspenseful music continues]
