"The Final Showdown"
Episode 10 ・ The Keepers' HQ
Get Ready!
Part 1
Last time on
The Rewriters!
The Rewriters arrived at the
bus station, ready to travel to the
Keepers’ headquarters...
Luna
Only to meet Lopi, who ordered her shrubs
to destroy the WIN blocks in every region!
Luna
Using Menti's bus pass,
the Rewriters traveled to each region
and stopped all the shrubs!
Luna
Having protected the WIN blocks,
the team returned to the station. There,
they met Lino, the other Headkeeper!
Luna
With neither side backing down,
the Rewriters and the Keepers decided to
settle things once and for all!
Luna
Our story continues...
We've made it — we're right
outside the Keepers’ HQ!
Menti
Everyone, we’re heading in!!
Sol
Ah, you’re finally here. It’s rude
to keep someone waiting, you know?
Lino
...Though I suppose we should be
grateful you’ve traveled all this way.
Shouldn’t we, Lopi?
Lino
Mwehehe! That’s right, Lino...
they’ve fallen right into our trap!
Lopi
Wh-what do you mean?
Zorro
Did you really think we’d
fight you fair and square?
Lopi
Shrubs! Get them!
Lopi
You may be strong as a team...
but what will you do if we take that away?
Lino
Urk...! I can’t move!
Menti
This is low...even for you two.
Menti
We simply do whatever it takes to WIN.
Lino
Shrubs, take them away.
Lino
Sol!! What do we do??
Olive
Everyone!! We’ll reunite, I promise!
Sol
We’re all Rewriters, after all...!
Sol
Meanwhile,
Zorro...
...Oof! The shrubs trapped us in different rooms...what should I do??
Zorro
...Okay, stay calm.
I can do this – I’m a Rewriter!
Zorro
I’ve seen so many problems by now...
this is just like any other.
Zorro
I should start by understanding the
problem. Good thing I still have the
scroll to help me with that!
Zorro
Problem-Solving Steps
1. Understand the problem
- What do I notice and what could be useful?
- What is the goal?
- What is blocking me from the goal? Why?
Once I’m out of here, maybe I can find
Morel and Enoki, too...!
Zorro
Meanwhile,
Morel and Enoki...
Oh my, we’re stuck again...the Keepers
just won’t back down, will they?
Morel
goo...
Enoki
You’re right, Enoki. We can’t just sit here
and wait for Sol to rescue us.
Morel
There must be something we can do.
Something new we can try.
Morel
g-go...
Enoki
Go for it, Papa!
Enoki
...Enoki?! Th-those were your first words!!
Morel
Ah, I’m so happy...Enoki,
you always surprise me...!
Morel
...Alright, we can do this! Let’s look at
what’s blocking us, then find a way past it.
Morel
...I think I heard Olive’s voice next door — perhaps we can reunite with her soon!
Morel
Meanwhile,
Olive...
So the Keepers prepared rooms for all of
us, huh? Fitting for a grand finale!
Olive
And what an interesting problem
they’ve given me – so many objects I’ve
never seen before!
Olive
I do want to take my time checking
them all out, but...
Olive
...that can come after
I plan my great escape!
Olive
Problem-Solving Steps
2. Plan a solution
- How can I break this problem into smaller steps?
-
What order should I do these steps in?
And once I’m free, I’ll go find Menti!
Now, it’s showtime~
Olive
Meanwhile,
Menti...
Menti
...Ugh. Back here again...alone.
I hope everyone else is okay. I’m sorry
I couldn’t protect you...
Menti
...I just have to trust them.
They’re all strong, in their own way.
Menti
For now, I should try something to get out
of here. And if my plan doesn’t work...
Menti
Menti
Then I’ll reflect on it to figure out a new plan! I’ll make it out of here, no matter
how many times I fail.
Problem-Solving Steps
4. Reflect on the solution
3. Try the solution
- Did the plan work? Why or why not?
-
How should I revise my plan if it didn't work?
Problem-Solving Steps
Sol...I’ll find you soon, for sure!
Menti
Meanwhile,
Sol...
...Everyone got separated.
Was this a mistake...?
Sol
No, it’s okay. I may be alone
right now, but I still remember everything
we’ve done together.
Sol
All the things we’ve tried, all the
problems we’ve solved step-by-step...
I have it right here!
Sol
Sol
Using this scroll we’ve made along the way,
I’ll definitely find a way out!
- Understand the problem
- Plan a solution
- Try the solution
- Reflect on the solution
Which step of the problem-solving process did you find most helpful? Why?
Let's Pair Share!
I know everyone else is trying
their best right now...so I will, too!
Sol
We’ll show the Keepers...
that the Rewriters don’t give up!
Sol
Keep Going!
Part 2
Keep this in mind as you play...
Solve problems independently to show what you’ve learned!
Do your best, Rewriters!
Asking the Guiding Questions
Inspecting rules and objects
Inspecting state blocks
If you get stuck, try:
Check In!
Part 3
Time for a Video!
Let’s make sure volume is turned up and everyone can see before going to the next slide.
Everyone!!! You escaped!
Sol
What a relief...! Now we can
fight the Keepers together!
Zorro
Yes, I’m glad you’re all safe.
Before we head in...shall we make a plan?
Morel
Let's think...what did you all see in the
rooms you were trapped in? Anything useful?
Olive
Oh! I might have some ideas. Here’s what I saw in my room...
Sol
Heh. That plan just might work, Sol.
Menti
We’ll just have to try and see!
Is everyone in?
Sol
Yes!! We've come so far by working together...
Zorro
...and by persevering through difficult problems...
Morel
...and by learning from our mistakes!
Olive
After we stop the Keepers,
we’ll show the whole world that anyone
can become a Rewriter!
Menti
Let's Discuss! (2 mins)
What does it mean to be a Rewriter?
Time for a Video!
Let’s make sure volume is turned up and everyone can see before going to the next slide.
Sounds like we're ready. Let's do this!
Sol
...What?! Lino, look!
Lopi
...The Rewriters! How did you all manage
to escape on your own?!
Lino
Don’t underestimate us, Lino. You two might make others do all your dirty work, but us?
Menti
We solve problems together and learn from each other. That's made us strong as individuals, too!
Sol
There’s nowhere left to run.
If you really want to stop us...
Sol
Then face us yourselves!
Sol
...As you wish.
I hope you don’t regret this, Sol.
Lino
Lopi, let’s move!
Lino
Everyone, to the heart! We’re taking the WIN!
Sol
Not so fast. Sol, I still don’t
understand exactly how you escaped those
caves...
Lopi
But we’ll make sure you’re
trapped for good this time.
Lopi
Everyone, look!! They’re going
after the SOL IS YOU rule!
Zorro
Oh no!! If they break that rule,
Sol will fall into another deep sleep...!
Menti
I can’t let that happen! I’ll go stop them-
Sol
Ha, it’s too late now. With this,
us Keepers shall rule forever–
Lino
Not on my watch.
Luna
...Luna?!
Sol
L-Luna...?! Why...how are you here?!
Lopi
Lopi...Lino...I won’t let you
do this to Sol again!
Luna
Sol, you all had some kind of plan, right? Quickly – do it now, while I can still hold
them back!!
Luna
Right! Well, this didn’t unfold exactly
how we were expecting, so...everyone,
it’s time for Plan C!
Sol
On it! Move out, team!
Olive
I’ve got the block for Lopi!
Zorro
Enoki and I have retrieved the AND block!
Morel
One block for Lino, right here!
Olive
Here’s the IS block. Now all that’s left...
Menti
...is to become a CRAB!!
Sol
Wh-what is this?! How dare you!!
Lino (Crab)
Stay calm, Lino! We can change
ourselves back! We just need to–
Lopi (Crab)
Sol! Say the codeword!
Menti
Oh yeah! “Yeeclaw!”
Sol
...Well, they’ve got us surrounded.
Lino (Crab)
Lopi (Crab)
...Ugh, it seems so.
What exactly do you want from us, Sol?
What do I want? Hmm...you know, I kind of get why you two think rewriting is dangerous.
Sol
Sol
I’ve accidentally turned myself into all
sorts of things. I’ve sunk in water.
I once broke my own SOL IS YOU rule...
Sol
But those moments were just mistakes.
And they might have been scary at the time,
but I’m glad I made them...
Sol
Because that’s how I became
the Sol that I am right now!
Sol
So please...release all of the
Rewriters you trapped, and let this
world move forward again.
...I suppose we have no choice.
We admit defeat.
Lino (Crab)
...Fine. We'll give up our rule,
so can you please turn us back now–
Lopi (Crab)
Lopi (Crab)
–H-hey, wait!!
Where are you taking us?! Graaaahhh!!
Lino (Crab)
YES!!! We did it!!!
Zorro
Huzzah! Our teamwork was excellent,
if I do say so myself!
Morel
Bravo! That was amazing, everyone!
Olive
Menti
We really did it...!
Sol, you were such a great leader!
Sol
I couldn’t have done it without
all of you! And you, Luna!
How are you even here right now?!
Luna
Thanks to you all spreading the knowledge
of rewriting, I gained enough power to appear
in this world again...
Luna
You see, long ago I was known as
the leader of the Rewriters...
Luna
I knew Lopi and Lino back then, too.
I tried to stop them from forming
the Keepers...
Luna
But I failed. I thought I had to handle everything on my own, so...I never asked for help, even when I needed it.
Luna
That's why...I'm so glad you’ve made great friends, Sol.
Luna
Zorro, Morel and Enoki,
Olive, Menti...thank you for helping
Sol all this time.
Luna
And Sol, my child...I’m so proud of you.
Sol
Luna...! I realized it at the bus
station, but...you’re the one who’s been watching over me this whole time, right?
Luna
That’s right. And that’s why I can say
this confidently – Sol, you’ve become the
leader that the Rewriters need.
Sol
...Me?!
Zorro
I agree with Luna!
You’ve led us this whole time, after all!
Morel
Enoki and I trust in you as well, Sol.
Olive
Be proud, Sol – you’re a star!
Menti
Yeah, you’ve got this. And if you need help, you know who to call.
Sol
Everyone...thank you. With you all by
my side, I’ll gladly lead the Rewriters!
Sol
We had a great adventure –
but this is just the beginning.
Sol
Starting now, we’re bringing back
rewriting – for everyone!
Luna
You've all grown so much...
let’s celebrate this moment by creating
a new memory, shall we?
Luna
Everyone, gather in for a photo...
Luna
Now, say “Rewriters!”
Everyone
"Rewriters!"
Thanks for playing!
