[A3!] ★ Main Story | Act 14 - DREAM CATCHER | Episode 1 - To The Next Season
Ibuki: Hmm… Something’s off.
Ibuki: If I angle it like this… Hmm.
Ibuki: (I just can’t decide… I wonder if I can find any good inspo anywhere.)
Ibuki: …
Ibuki: (TikTak’s also been all about theater company promo vids lately.)
Ibuki: Ah, “MANKAI Company Intro Video”?
Ibuki: (MANKAI Company, huh…)

Muku: Haah… I really loved the RomiJuli sequel.
Tenma: It really is moving to think back to the first show, huh?
Kumon: They’re the same roles, but it’s really crazy to see how much they’ve grown!
Yuki: I feel like the growth of the actor is linked to the growth of the role.
Kazunari: For realsies. There’s a real synergistic effect that it gives off, y’know~.
Misumi: I can’t wait for us to perform the “Water me!” sequel~.
Muku: Same here! I wonder what kind of story it’ll be.
Tenma: We’ve gotta show everyone that we’ve grown just as much as Spring Troupe.
Muku: …Huh?
Izumi: What is it?
Muku: This guy in the audience in this video… That’s the one who’s Masumi’s fan, right?
Izumi: Ah, you’re right. That’s Towa-kun.
Tenma: That’s the same fan who came to talk to Tsuzuru-san directly the other day, isn’t it?
Izumi: Yep, that’s the one.
Muku: I see that he was able to get tickets for opening day. I’m glad.
Izumi: He said it was his first time actually seeing a performance in a theater, so he was really moved by it all.
Izumi: (He might’ve been a little TOO moved. I never thought he would’ve ended up saying something like that…)

Towa: …Tsuzuru Minagi-sensei!! Please write a script for my theater troupe!! I’m begging you!!
Tsuzuru: Huh? …WHAT!?
Tsuzuru: A script? Me?
Towa: Yeah!
Sakuya: That’s amazing! Did you start a theater troupe?
Towa: Umm, I’m planning on creating one soon…
Izumi: Do you have any members?
Towa: N-No… I’m planning on gathering some soon.
Masumi: So what you’re saying is it’s just you?
Towa: But… I wanna start a theater troupe that’s like MANKAI Company!
Towa: When I participated in Spring Troupe’s workshop, I was able to get a feel for how theater is done and what it feels like to be on stage…
Towa: I got to know a little bit more and it got me way more interested in theater.
Towa: And then I actually saw Spring Troupe’s performance at the theater, and I was so completely blown away and moved beyond belief.
Towa: The way the play was brought to life up there on stage thanks to so many different people, and the way all the actors were truly sparkling…
Towa: I realized I also want to be on stage. I want to shine like everyone did…
Towa: Maybe I’m being too simple and this is all just wishful thinking, but…
Towa: To come here and discover theater and figure out what I want to do, I feel like it was my destiny!
Tsuzuru: …Gotcha. Destiny, huh?
Towa: Sorry, I probably sound really stupid, huh…
Izumi: Not at all.
Tsuzuru: I know how you feel because I felt the same way.
Sakuya: I felt the same way when I first encountered theater.
Citron: We very much understand your feelings, Towa~!
Izumi: We all have moments like that. I think just the fact that you felt like you were destined for theater means that you’ve already got some kind of knack for it.
Tsuzuru: I get that you’re motivated, and I’d really love to help you, but when you’ve only got one troupe member…
Tsuzuru: It’s quite the challenge to perform a one-man show with no experience, so ideally, you’d probably want at least four total troupe members.
Towa: So I need three more…
Towa: …Got it! I’ll gather them up!
Tsuzuru: Great. I’ll be waiting.
Izumi: Good luck.
Sakuya: You’ve got our support!
Towa: Thank you so much!

Izumi: (I am curious about how things are going with Towa-kun’s troupe, but we need to focus more on Summer Troupe’s next performance.)
Izumi: (And although our rank has improved, it’s still a far cry from the Fleur Award…)
Izumi: (The new troupes are all gaining momentum, so we need to stay on our toes while we start working on the second quarter…)
Someone already TL'd these on Twitter but I figured I'd do my own TL over here for the Tumblr crowd!
These characters will appear in ACT4!, which is being released starting in spring 2024.
Towa Ichinoe (CV: Daigo Kato)
An extremely puppy-like boy who loves all of MANKAI.
Occupation: 1st Year at Hanasaki Academy
A huge ultrahigh-intensity fan of MANKAI Company and and oshi of Spring Troupe's Masumi. He attended middle school in the countryside, but convinced his parents to let him move to Tokyo. He also lives with his aunt and works part-time for her at a flower shop on Veludo Way. He loves rice.
"Hey, hey, hey, could we take a pic together, please!?"
Ibuki Dozono (CV: Shuichiro Umeda)
A high-energy genderless youth.
Occupation: 2nd Year at Tsukushi High School
They like to stand out and have become quiet famous! They started posting videos online that went viral due to their enthusiastic personality and they've become a bit of a celebrity. They're a happy-go-lucky person who lives their life by the mindset of "Life's a win if you enjoy it the way you want to!" They like potatoes.
"Huh~, so there's some people who don't know of THE Ibuki~?"
Keiku Karashina (CV: Hayato Dojima)
A violent boy who's emotionally-lacking.
Occupation: 2nd Year at Ouka High School
A boy who has nothing in his life to be passionate about so he spends his days fighting instead. He's insensitive to both his own emotions and to the emotions of others. His favorite food is shortcake with strawberries on top.
"'It hurts' is easy to understand... ain't it?"
Kureha Nishiki (CV: Yuri Ise)
A narcissistic boy who's 120% confident in himself.
Occupation: 3rd Year at Ouka High School
A super confident guy who thinks he be good at anything at all. He's an idiot who can't make up his mind during critical moments, but he's loved by everyone around him at school because of his natural cheerfulness. He's addicted to tea and works part-time at a cafe. He likes Western-style sweets.
"Just leave it to me and everything will be okay!"
popping back in for a couple seconds, because I am obsessed with these two throwaway characters from the last new year's bit. I need to know more about this fancy overdramatic theater kid and IT nerdling's more-likely-than-you'd-think friendship.
(brb, building an entire mental headcanon around these random characters who will literally never appear again. they have a whole sitcom together...in my heart.)
