WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
I was categorically taught
いっぷん
にふん
さんぶん
at my university by multiple native Japanese speakers and have used さんぶん for eight years now. If I had my copy of Yookoso, I'd pull it out and refer to it to make sure.

This is news to me that it is pronounced さんぷん. Like, a major freakout is going on at my apartment right now over this.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
