## Description

While out shopping in the shopping district the Sumikkos ran into Penguin (Real) who happened to be back in town. They decided to participate in a lottery for a special hotel invitation ticket, which they won! It just so happened that everyone else's schedules were free so they all got to meet at the hotel. Everyone gathered at the slightly retro hotel and took advantage of the hotel's amenities. They played ping pong, karaoke'd, ate at the buffet and played in the arcade. Most importantly, the Sumikkos were able to relax and have a great time.

Five Second Rule

DVD extra of *Inside Out*

"**Five Second Rule**" is one of the clips bundled in the *Inside Out* home media release, acting as a "deleted scene" of sorts, even though it's not an actual deleted scene. Its main character, as stated on the title card, is Disgust.

## Plot

The clip opens with Riley eating grapes at the park. She throws one of them up and attempts to catch it in her mouth, but the grape falls on the ground and starts rolling away. Riley gasps.

Inside her mind, Joy quickly announces the "five second rule": namely, if Riley can catch the grape within five seconds, she can eat it. Then, Fear starts calling out numbers as Riley rushes for the grape, and she succeeds. Joy is about to eat the grape, when she is confronted by Disgust, who will stand by the fact that since the grape touched the ground, it is inedible. Joy and Disgust continue fighting, reflected on the outside with Riley having second thoughts about eating the grape. It is only with some well-placed disgusting imagery that Joy can shoo Disgust away, then make Riley eat the grape.

## In parodies

"Five Second Rule" is yet to be used in any *Inside Out* parody.
Issie

## Isshi

Isshi is a Japanese lake monster that is said to live in Lake Ikeda in Japan.

## Origin

On September 3, 1988, many people witnessed two black objects swimming at great speed in Lake Ikeda. The distance between the two black lump-like objects floating on the water surface was about 5 meters, and it is said that the lake surface shook for several tens of meters at that time. This sighting was widely covered by media such as newspapers and television, and subsequent sightings were reported one after another, and photos and videos were also taken of an object believed to be Issy.

From there, it came to be called ``Issie'' after Nessie, who is said to live in Loch Ness in England.

There are various theories floating around about Issie's true identity, including that they are a dinosaur survivor, a large eel and a giant fish. In order to find out its true identity efforts were made to install personal surveillance cameras and broadcast on television but there are currently no reports. There have been no confirmed sightings and it remains a sight to be seen.
## Mythology

According to mythology, Issie was a white mare who lived with her foal on the shores of Lake Ikeda. However, when the foal was kidnapped by samurai, Issy could not find it and jumped into the lake, transforming into a giant Saurian beast in despair, which has appeared frequently ever since. This creature was reportedly photographed in 1978 by a man who called himself ``Mr. Matsubara. *Reports say that in 1978, 20 other people saw the creature swimming in the lake. They said the creature was black and had two humps, each about 5 meters (16 feet) long.*

Inside Out scenes

A listing of ***Inside Out* scenes** was released by CreativityTheEmotion on January 21, 2018, under the moniker "The Grand Unified *Inside Out* Scenes Database (GUIOSDb)", parodying the name of a project by the Unterganger community to catalogue all of *Downfall*. As five of its scenes match up with four mini-series based on those scenes as seen on CreativityTheEmotion's YouTube channel, they therefore can be taken as a definitive resource of the structure of *Inside Out*.

In addition to tracking scenes, The Grand Unified *Inside Out* Scenes Database also tracks the time of day, as experienced by Riley Andersen's emotions via her sleep schedule, and the number of Islands of Personality that Riley has.

## Scene list

### Appearances of major characters

Explanations:

* D - Dialogue (character speaks at least one line)
* d - Indirect dialogue (e.g. in a memory or a dream)
* P - Physical (character does not have lines, but makes a physical appearance)
* p - Indirect physical (e.g. in a memory or a dream)
* M - Mention (character does not physically appear, but is mentioned)
* m - Indirect mention (not mentioned by name or closest equivalent, but it is implied that they are mentioned)
* \* - Mind (the scene takes place at least partially in their mind)

## Trivia

* The screenplay of *Inside Out* has 299 mentions of "INT." and 81 mentions of "EXT.", for a total of 380 scenes. The disparity between this and the 59 scenes (excluding the credits scene) as listed here is because, according to the formal definition of a scene in film, a new scene starts whenever a new location is entered or a time skip is involved, and Riley's Headquarters and wherever she is in the outside world are considered to be two different locations, creating many scenes that last a few seconds and consist of a single shot.
	+ Those counting "INT." in the screenplay must beware of a line in Anger plans (part 1): "Anyway, it was better, that’s my po**int.**", which inflates the number of occurrences to 300.

The Corner Candy Store is the setting for Episode Eight and it's accompanying Corner Candy Store Theme.

## Corner Candy Store

### Inhabitants

Hazure Bo

**Translation**: The word *dagashi* is derived from the Japanese words *da* ("futile" or "negligible") and *kashi* (snacks). Ya means store or shop. Literally translated to English it means cheap snack shop. See the cultural notes below for more details on the Japanese dagashiya.

## Description

The Corner Candy store has a tin roof and a colorful yellow and red-orange scalloped trim outlining the store entrance. A wooden sign hangs in the middle of the roof, above the scallop trim.

Next to the store is an ice cream freezer with the words Sumikko Ice Cream below a pattern of green and red-orange circle shapes with white sumikko faces.

On the opposite side of the building is a red-orange mailbox with a white Sumikko face. On the building is a poster featuring 3 Tapioca on top of one another in front of a re-orange sunburst pattern. The Tapioca on top is wielding a popsicle of some sort and the word Sumikko lines the top of the poster.

Inside the shop is a prominent shelf holding rice crackers, yogurt-like containers with the Sumikko's face on them and chocolate fortune telling candy among other treats. Lining the top of the shelf are 3 glass jars: 1 containing a Yellow Tapioca in the act of eating a nori senbai (rice cracker with seaweed). 2. Skewers of meat 3. Nori senbai with Sumikko's faces on them.

Toys like water guns and bubbles hang from a line across the top of the shop. Posters line the walls with balloons and other fun things.

## Cultural Notes

The Corner Candy Store is quintessential Japanese dagashiya. A dagashiya in Japan is an old-fashioned Showa (from the 1950s to the early 1980s) era mom and pop candy store that sells a myriad of candy at inexpensive prices. Dagashi, are Japanese snacks and sweets sold at a low price, offered an alternative to the expensive wagashi. The earliest iteration was Ichimon Gashi, or one-coin candy. Made of grains combined with syrup, this snack was affordable and popular with Japanese kids. Dagashi found their way into Dagashi-ya, candy stores aimed at children that offered simple sweets and snacks run locally that kept their price points low so kids with a little extra change could try something new.

For a more intimate look at what is sold at a dagashiya see the Corner Candy Store Themed Characters page.

Sumikko Gurashi

**Sumikkogurashi** (すみっコぐらし), or **Sumikko Gurashi**, are the characters living a quiet and solitary life in the corner. They might be able to settle down when they’re in the corners but they don’t like being in the center of the room. When they’re taken to the center of the room, they always rush back to the corner. It means “life in the corner”.

## History

The characters were created by Yuri Yokomizo, a graphic designer working for San-X, and the first products were released in 2012. Their main inspiration was the feeling of comfort when one is near a corner, and they were based on Yokomizo's notebook doodles when she was a student. A series of products including stationeries, plush toys, clothings, games and books were sold throughout the years. In 2019, the first animated film named Sumikko Gurashi the Movie: The Unexpected Picture Book and the Secret Child was released and its sequel Sumikko Gurashi: Good to be in the Corner was released in 2020.

## Games

There are several games created featuring Sumikko Gurashi, such as:

* Sumikko Gurashi: Atsumare! Sumikko Town
* Sumikko Gurashi School Life Begins
* Sumikko Gurashi Farm
* Sumikko Gurashi: Sumikko Park
* Sumikko Gurashi Puzzling Ways

## Collaborations

Sumikko Gurashi has since collaborated with several companies, such as:

* 2020 Hankyu Collaboration
* 2019 Keikyu Train Collaboration

Nisetsumuri

A slug with a shell on its back

## **Description**

**Nisetsumuri (にせつむり, Ni setsu muri)** is a slug pretending to be a snail.

## Appearance

Is actually just a slug with a shell. It has a light blue shell with pale cream splotches and a cream-colored body. It often wears all sorts of things on its back instead of its shell because it is forgetful and mistakes them for its shell.

In the official comic book, it wore Furoshiki, Zassou's pot, various Minikkos such as the Tapioca, and lots more. It once adopted another purple seashell in Sumikko Gurashi the Movie: The Unexpected Picture Book and the Secret Child but lost it to the magic barrier. It has another dark purple shell dotted with stars in Episode Thirty-Six.

## Personality

It was jealous of the other snails and found a shell of its own, but after pretending to be a snail was constantly sorry for tricking the Sumikkos.  Although in the comic, it is said that the Sumikkos already knew it’s secret..

## History

In the official comic book, Nisetsumuri was admiring the other snails for their beautiful shells and had the strange idea of becoming a snail too. So, it found a shell and stuck it to its back due to its stickiness and tried to befriend the snails. The other snails were in awe of its colourful shell in comparison to their own and complimented it. After a period of time, Nisetsumuri bumped into Tokage in the Forest and its shell accidentally fell off. It was ashamed and curled into a ball, but Tokage said that it was also pretending to be something it wasn't. Nisetsumuri introduced Tokage to the Corner, and befriended the Sumikkos. Later, while showing off its climbing skills, its shell fell off again and it told the Sumikkos the truth (but Zassou called it "fake snail" nontheless). It appeared in almost every Episode and the comic.
Episode One

This episode was Sumikko Gurashi's first video released on San-X's You Tube channel. It was released in 2013, about one years after Sumikko Gurashi was introduced.
