[10:22] Konoha     I've only ever used Photoshop     and a tablet to paint! [10:26] Mamoru     What are those? [10:29] Meiko     We use MaruPaint and a mouse here. [10:34] Konoha     This isn't good!

[12:00] Meiko     Sorry, I'll be done in a moment. [12:03] Konoha     They're both working so fast! [12:07] Konoha     There goes my confidence     as a time traveler... [12:11] Konoha     Is this really only 16 colors? [12:15] Meiko     Yeah. [12:15] Meiko     The system takes up one     color, so actually it's 15. [12:19] Konoha     15 colors?! [12:21] Konoha     It really looks like it     uses a lot more colors... [12:29] Konoha     This spot right here is painted     a little differently! [12:32] Meiko     That's called "dithering". [12:34] Meiko     You place two colors in     a checkerboard pattern, [12:36] Meiko     to create the illusion     of a color in-between. [12:39] Konoha     T-Technology of the ancients! [12:43] Kaori     Mei-chan had the same reaction that you did. [12:46] Meiko     Anyone would be surprised. [12:48] Konoha     I thought pixel art was     only for chibi stuff!

[13:00] Mamoru     Okay, try using what you     just saw to paint this. [13:03] Konoha     Yes. [13:05] Konoha     Um... this color goes here... [13:08] Konoha     And this one... huh? [13:10] Konoha     How do I undo? Huh? [13:13] Meiko     How's it going, Kono-chan? [13:15] Meiko     Think you can handle it? [13:16] Konoha     Meiko-san! [13:19] Meiko     Wh-What's wrong?! [13:21] Konoha     Look at this! [13:22] Konoha     All of my knowledge is     completely useless here! [13:29] Konoha     It's just so frustrating! [13:31] Konoha     I'm mad salty! [13:36] Meiko     Don't cry, Kono-chan! [13:38] Kaori     You can do it! [13:40] Konoha     Wh-Wh-Wha?! [13:42] Konoha     They're so touchy-feely! [13:44] Konoha     Is this what it was like     at old game studios?! [14:41] Konoha     I-I did it! [14:43] Konoha     I finally finished this CG! [14:46] Konoha     I made it with just 16 colors! [14:49] Group     Congratulations! [14:51] Kyonshi     Huh, you really pulled it off. [14:53] Konoha     Thank you very much! [14:58] Mamoru     Does she really have prior experience?

[15:21] Konoha     When will I be able to go back? [15:24] Konoha     And how did this happen to begin with? [15:31] Konoha     If I don't find a way to go back, [15:33] Konoha     I wouldn't mind just staying here! [15:37] Mamoru     Did you finally snap?

[15:50] Mamoru     Aren't you getting sick of it? [15:52] Konoha     Well, I don't have anywhere else to go. [15:56] Konoha     Not to mention... [15:59] Konoha     Making games is fun!

[16:50] Konoha     And it's so messy with all     the stuff lying around! [16:53] Mamoru     You always sound so timid, but you're     incredibly demanding, you know. [16:57] Kaori     I'm turning off the lights! [17:10] Konoha     Mamoru-kun, you're not going home tonight? [17:13] Mamoru     I can do whatever I want. [17:15] Konoha     Are you looking at a bug?

[17:25] Konoha     Oh yeah, why do you work here, Mamoru-kun? [17:29] Konoha     Because you like bishojo games? [17:31] Mamoru     I'm not doing this because I want to. [17:34] Mamoru     I just help out because my dad asked me. [17:37] Mamoru     Well, I've always liked     fiddling with computers. [17:41] Mamoru     But I'm calling it quits. [17:42] Konoha     What?! [17:43] Konoha     You're quitting?! [17:44] Konoha     What a shame! [17:45] Konoha     I think you could become an     amazing game programmer! [17:50] Mamoru     I'd rather join a normal     game company, then. [17:52] Mamoru     Bishojo games are made by people     who can't make regular games. [17:57] Mamoru     These aren't real video games. [18:00] Konoha     That's not true! [18:01] Konoha     Bishojo games are so much fun! [18:04] Mamoru     They may be selling now, while     they're not very common, [18:07] Mamoru     but people will stop buying them in no time. [18:09] Konoha     No, they won't!

[18:24] Konoha     They're all going to be plastered     with bishojo characters! [18:27] Mamoru     Like that'll ever happen. [18:28] Konoha     It really will happen! [18:30] Konoha     I'm telling the real, honest truth here! [18:32] Konoha     Mamoru-kun! [18:33] Konoha     The future is filled with cute 2D     girls because of bishojo games! [18:37] Konoha     Even a cringe otaku like me,     thanks to bishojo games, [18:41] Konoha     can play it off as, "that's just my     character trope, tee-hee", and keep on going! [18:47] Konoha     Maybe you're right that this company     can't make normal video games. [18:52] Konoha     But you know, everyone here is making     the bishojo games of their dreams! [18:58] Konoha     What could be better?! [18:59] Konoha     I love this company, and     everyone who's a part of it! [19:07] Konoha     Mamoru-kun, let's make     bishojo games together! [19:20] Mamoru     You really do have a screw loose. [19:21] Mamoru     Go see a doctor. [19:26] Konoha     After I tried so hard to talk with him!

[21:41] Mamoru     She definitely lied about having     worked at a game company. [21:44] Manager     Well, what can you expect from someone     who says she's from the future? [21:47] Manager     Boy, oh boy... [21:50] Mamoru     But it might not be a bad idea to hire her. [21:54] Manager     Why's that? [21:55] Konoha     "Making games is fun!" [21:58] Konoha     "Mamoru-kun, let's make     bishojo games together!" [22:02] Mamoru     Not a lot of people would get so     passionate about mere bishojo games.

[16:31] Kaori     You're not to blame at all, Mei-chan! [16:34] Kaori     Treating us like your personal wallet! [16:36] Kaori     He won't get away with this! [16:39] Konoha     Um... [16:40] Konoha     Kono-chan. [16:42] Konoha     Does this mean you're not     going to make games anymore? [16:48] Kaori     I'll still make games. [16:51] Kaori     Only... [16:54] Kaori     it may not be at this company. [18:58] Konoha     Mamoru-kun! [19:00] Mamoru     You're still here, huh? [19:02] Konoha     Well, the development room     is where I've been sleeping. [19:06] Mamoru     Dad was hospitalized from     the shock of it all. [19:09] Mamoru     Makes you laugh, doesn't it? [19:11] Mamoru     He's never had an ounce of business sense. [19:13] Manager     One billion yen... [19:19] Mamoru     Opening a computer shop after mass     retailers started carrying them. [19:23] Mamoru     Starting a game company, despite never     really having played a video game. [19:28] Mamoru     I knew all of this, but I let     him be, so maybe I'm no better. [19:33] Konoha     Was there really nothing     more I could have done? [19:37] Mamoru     You did plenty. [19:39] Mamoru     You even tracked him down. [19:41] Konoha     Still! [19:42] Konoha     I came back in time again, but     I was powerless to do anything... [19:45] Konoha     It's just too awful! [19:48] Mamoru     I had a hunch that something was wrong. [19:50] Mamoru     When someone from the future like     you had no idea who Ichigaya was. [19:53] Konoha     Mamoru-kun, who's that? [19:56] Mamoru     I didn't take things seriously. [19:59] Mamoru     I had second thoughts about     believing what you said. [20:02] Mamoru     However... [20:04] Mamoru     I might have been able     to prevent all of this. [20:07] Mamoru     And even if I couldn't, [20:09] Mamoru     I could have at least paid     attention to what Dad was up to. [20:13] Mamoru     If I had done that, maybe I could     have kept everyone's dream alive. [20:17] Konoha     Everyone's dream? [20:19] Konoha     Mamoru-kun, you think this is your fault? [20:22] Mamoru     Maybe it wasn't. [20:24] Mamoru     But I can't deny I was a     little too unsuspecting. [20:27] Konoha     Mamoru-kun, you love Alcohol     Soft deep down, don't you? [20:31] Mamoru     Not really. [20:32] Mamoru     I've been... [20:34] Mamoru     just stuck here the whole time. [20:49] Konoha     Mamoru-kun! [20:51] Konoha     Let's make a game! [20:53] Konoha     I'll do the art, so let's make a game! [20:55] Konoha     We'll use it to save the company! [21:00] Mamoru     Ugh... [21:01] Konoha     Hey! [21:02] Konoha     This is the part where you go     all whammo, then "yeahhhh"! [21:06] Konoha     What's with the "ugh"?! [21:10] Konoha     I've always wanted to make a game     with everyone at Alcohol Soft! [21:14] Konoha     I knew if I was going to make a game,     I wanted it to be with all of you! [21:18] Konoha     But I couldn't say it... [21:20] Konoha     I was too afraid of changing the past. [21:23] Konoha     But still! [21:24] Konoha     If we don't use my powers now, then when?! [21:27] Konoha     The game I've always wanted to make! [21:30] Konoha     I know that I want to make     it right here, right now! [21:34] Mamoru     Ugh... [21:35] Konoha     What?! [21:35] Konoha     "Ugh" again?! [21:37] Mamoru     I can't deny that your drawing was amazing. [21:40] Mamoru     To be honest, it feels     straight out of the future. [21:44] Mamoru     But what can you do with just drawings?! [21:46] Mamoru     We're talking one billion yen! One billion! [21:50] Mamoru     You can't possibly make one     billion yen off an eroge... [21:55] Konoha     Mamoru-kun, you still don't     understand the power of bishojo. [22:00] Konoha     Bishojo has way more power than you think! [22:03] Konoha     As someone from the future, I guarantee it! [22:05] Konoha     Besides, I'm not alone! [22:08] Konoha     Everyone at Alcohol Soft believes     in the power of bishojo! [22:12] Konoha     If we all work together,     nothing's impossible! [22:15] Konoha     The other day, I helped out a boy I met, [22:18] Konoha     because he was in trouble! [22:20] Konoha     It doesn't matter whether     I change the past or future! [22:23] Konoha     I want to do whatever I can, right now! [22:27] Konoha     Mamoru-kun, are you fine     with just giving up?! [22:30] Konoha     Are you fine with losing everything?! [22:32] Konoha     I don't think you are! [22:34] Konoha     I know all too well that your heart     is burning with passion deep down! [22:39] Konoha     So please! [22:40] Konoha     Believe in me!

[05:39] Konoha     I've wanted to show you this     drawing all this time! [05:43] Konoha     Ever since the day we first met! [05:45] Konoha     I want to make my game at this company! [05:48] Konoha     That's why I came back here! [05:50] Konoha     Across time! [05:53] Group     Time? [05:54] Mamoru     Not time! The sea! [05:57] Konoha     Across the sea! [05:59] Konoha     I came all this way! [06:03] Meiko     Looking at it again, it's still amazing! [06:06] Meiko     What program did you use to draw this? [06:09] Konoha     Photoshop! [06:10] Meiko     What? Photoshop?! [06:11] Meiko     You're using the same program?! [06:14] Konoha     You can use other programs, too. [06:15] Konoha     Like Clip Studio. [06:17] Meiko     Clip Studio? [06:18] Kaori     The way you drew these highlights     in her eyes is exceptional. [06:22] Kaori     You split these highlights     up into all these colors. [06:25] Meiko     Kono-chan, how many layers did     you use for this illustration? [06:29] Konoha     Um, around 200 layers in total! [06:31] Meiko     T-Two hundred?! [06:34] Meiko     Kao-san. [06:34] Meiko     Don't you think Kono-chan's     drawing is incredible? [06:36] Meiko     I've never seen anything like     this, even in a console game! [06:39] Meiko     If we made a game with this art,     it really might just sell! [06:46] Kaori     No, it's not going to work. [06:47] Konoha     What?! [06:48] Kaori     We don't have the computers. [06:50] Meiko     Sure we do! [06:51] Kaori     Our computers can't possibly     handle 200 layers. [06:56] Kaori     They'll freeze up for sure. [06:58] Kaori     It's true that this art     is extraordinarily good. [07:01] Kaori     But it's impossible for us to replicate. [07:04] Kaori     We don't have the computers needed for that.

[08:10] Konoha     So that's what was in that hand cart! [08:14] Mamoru     Give it a whirl! [08:15] Konoha     You say that, but... [08:18] Konoha     This isn't Photoshop! [08:20] Mamoru     It's a paint program exclusive     to the Super Octa-Core! [08:23] Mamoru     It's optimized for this machine! [08:28] Konoha     It may look a bit outdated, [08:30] Konoha     but it doesn't freeze when I add layers, [08:32] Konoha     it feels great to draw with,     and it's easy to use!

[06:02] Mamoru     I started working part-time at Echosoft, [06:05] Mamoru     a company I came across when     I traveled back in time.

[06:12] Mamoru     The people at this company know     my name for some reason, [06:16] Mamoru     and had no qualms in     letting me work for them. [06:19] Mamoru     I can't help but worry how     Konoha's game will turn out, [06:23] Mamoru     but if I'm in the year 1985, you could     say that time has basically stopped.

[07:05] Mamoru     Since I've been hired part-time,     I'll put in my wage's worth. [07:09] Mamoru     Game programming is a part of my duties. [07:13] Mamoru     The president, Echo One, gets an     astounding amount of work done, [07:16] Mamoru     and he develops games     at an incredible speed. [07:26] Mamoru     Graphic artist, scenario     writer, sound composer, [07:31] Mamoru     not to mention programmer. [07:32] Mamoru     Echo One has taken on all of those roles. SIGN    Echosoft Bishojo Game vol. [07:36] Mamoru     Well, that wasn't too uncommon in the 80s. SIGN    Echosoft Bishojo Game vol. [07:41] Mamoru     This is an old technique called     "cling wrap scanning". [07:45] Mamoru     You copy the line art, like this... [07:49] Mamoru     and then trace over it in a graphics editor. [07:51] Mamoru     No mouse involved. [07:59] Mamoru     Here, he's actually composing     the background music. [08:02] Mamoru     Music Macro Language, or MML for short, [08:06] Mamoru     is a specialized description language that     he's using to type out the musical score. [08:10] Mamoru     You can also use dedicated     programs to compose music, [08:13] Mamoru     but for some people,     writing MML directly is much faster. [08:17] Mamoru     To draw the characters, he's using a     special tool called a pattern editor. [08:21] Mamoru     As you can see, he can use it to     make pixel art of the characters, [08:24] Mamoru     and it also allows you to     create animations for them. [08:28] Mamoru     Hey, do you have a minute? [08:30] Echo One     Yes, what is it? [08:32] Mamoru     How come you're not using any green? [08:34] Echo One     There are only eight     colors available to use. [08:36] Mamoru     No, I know that much. [08:39] Echo One     This character has blue armor.

[08:49] Echo One     That's right. [08:51] Mamoru     Can you let me try something? [08:54] Echo One     Sure... [08:57] Mamoru     How's that? [08:58] Echo One     Well, well. [09:00] Echo One     It looks just like a commercial game. [09:02] Mamoru     This is what's called dithering. [09:05] Mamoru     Well, I'm just going off what I've seen. [09:08] Echo One     Mamoru-san, could you teach     me some other things as well? [09:12] Mamoru     Yeah. [09:13] Echo One     Thank you very much.

[09:26] Echo One     You're a programmer, but you     can do all sorts of stuff. [09:30] Mamoru     Of course I can. [09:31] Mamoru     Programmers are the kings     of game development.

[15:53] Konoha     This is exactly what I was     hoping to get a taste of! [15:57] Konoha     And if you weren't here, I wouldn't have     been able to make such an amazing game. [16:03] Konoha     Thank you so— [16:04] Mamoru     Ah, you can spare me all of that. [16:07] Mamoru     You're kind of grossing me out. [16:08] Konoha     G-Grossing you out?! [16:11] Konoha     Hey! [16:12] Konoha     I'm trying to thank you honestly here! [16:16] Mamoru     I didn't do any of this for you. [16:19] Mamoru     It just happened to benefit both of us. [16:22] Konoha     Sheesh, I really wish you'd drop the     emotionless act at times like this. [16:27] Konoha     Well, we still don't know for sure. [16:29] Konoha     I may be satisfied, but it still     needs to make one billion yen. [16:33] Mamoru     Don't you worry. [16:35] Mamoru     That game will sell. [16:36] Konoha     Huh? [16:39] Mamoru     It'll be a hit for sure. [16:41] Mamoru     That game has enough energy     to accomplish that much. [16:46] Mamoru     Eroge still holds so much possibility. [16:48] Mamoru     It's a barren world out there. [16:50] Mamoru     And now a game with this     much passion shows up. [16:53] Mamoru     There's no way it wouldn't sell. [16:55] Mamoru     It's exactly what everyone     has been waiting for. [16:59] Konoha     You think?! [17:01] Mamoru     Forget paying back one billion yen. [17:03] Mamoru     I'm more worried that the money will     end up driving Dad crazy again. [17:12] Mamoru     You sure do have energy to spare. [17:13] Konoha     Huh? [17:15] Mamoru     It's people like you who make     their own dreams come true. [17:19] Mamoru     I don't have the power that you do. [17:21] Konoha     That's not true at all! [17:23] Konoha     This game, as well as all the previous     ones, got made because of you! [17:28] Konoha     I know that you can accomplish     way bigger things than I can! [17:32] Mamoru     I'm not so sure. [17:34] Konoha     Don't you have any dreams? [17:36] Mamoru     Not really. [17:38] Mamoru     As long as the PC-98 conquers the     world, I don't need anything else. [17:42] Konoha     I-I'd say that's a pretty     big dream already... [17:45] Mamoru     I just don't want anything to change. [17:50] Mamoru     This town, the PC-98... [17:52] Mamoru     I want them all to stay the same. [17:54] Mamoru     But people and places change     at a terrifying rate. [17:59] Mamoru     And no one can stop it. [18:01] Mamoru     But this time around, Alcohol     Soft will probably survive. [18:08] Mamoru     Thanks to you, that is. [18:13] Konoha     Mamoru-kun! [18:14] Konoha     Look, it's snowing! [18:16] Mamoru     It sure is.

[15:42] Mamoru     There's something I want to show you. [15:51] Mamoru     This way. [15:52] Konoha     Huh? [15:53] Konoha     Wh-What is this place?! [15:59] Konoha     Hey, M-Mamoru-kun! [16:03] Mamoru     You said earlier that it's your     fault that history changed. [16:07] Mamoru     So how are you going to take     responsibility for this? [16:13] Konoha     What?! [16:16] Mamoru     Do you know why I stayed     behind here in Akiba? [16:20] Mamoru     It's all for the PC-98. [16:22] Mamoru     I can't leave the PC-98     behind and go to America. [16:25] Mamoru     And yet! [16:26] Mamoru     No matter what I do, the     PC-98 remains obsolete! [16:30] Mamoru     Campaigning on social media! SIGN    Mamo-9801     The PC-98 really is so nice.     Obviously... great internals, but     the PC-98's design... great, the     sound is great, it smells great...     great, the back ports...     does its best to run programs...     Such a wonderful computer, yet...     In the shadows of human evolution,      the PC-98... In my next life, I want     to be a PC-98 and with my silicon...     and turn Akihabara      into Aki-98-bara... [16:31] Mamoru     Creating doujinshi! [16:33] Mamoru     I've tried everything, but the     PC-98 won't make a comeback! [16:36] Mamoru     And all of it is your fault! [16:39] Konoha     What?! [16:40] Mamoru     Because you created this world, the     PC-98 has completely died out! [16:44] Konoha     Huh? [16:45] Konoha     Wait, no! [16:47] Mamoru     You murdered the PC-98! [16:48] Mamoru     I'm holding you responsible for it! [16:50] Konoha     What?! [16:52] Konoha     Th-That's totally unfair! [16:57] Mamoru     You don't know what to say to that, right? [16:59] Konoha     Huh? [17:01] Mamoru     What I just said requires      some preposterous logic. [17:04] Mamoru     But how do you know it wasn't your     fault that the PC-98 went obsolete? [17:09] Mamoru     It could have been caused     by your game, couldn't it? [17:13] Mamoru     Likewise, no one can say whether you     caused Akihabara and bishojo to decline. [17:20] Mamoru     Listen up. [17:21] Mamoru     You're just conveniently picking     out facts to feel guilty about. [17:25] Konoha     That's not true! [17:27] Mamoru     I'm saying that you don't     have to feel guilt over it. [17:30] Mamoru     Everyone in this era took part in     deciding on this outcome. [17:34] Mamoru     What you're doing now is     being just plain arrogant! [17:39] Mamoru     Look. [17:41] Konoha     Meiko-san. [17:43] Mamoru     Meiko is now considered a living legend. [17:46] Mamoru     And it began with that game of yours. [17:49] Mamoru     Are you saying that was a mistake? [17:51] Mamoru     Were the efforts of everyone     at Alcohol Soft a mistake? [17:57] Mamoru     Or are you saying that you still     prefer your original world? [18:01] Mamoru     Is the world you came from better than this? [18:05] Konoha     It's not good at all. [18:08] Konoha     Akiba is obscene, noisy, and a crowded mess. [18:13] Konoha     In the summer, it's packed     with sweaty people. [18:16] Konoha     It's totally chaotic, and     not a great place at all. [18:20] Konoha     But that's what I liked about it! [18:23] Konoha     It was a place for people     like me to have fun! [18:26] Konoha     This squeaky clean Akiba     isn't the Akiba I know! [18:30] Konoha     But in my short time here, after     wandering around Akiba, I can tell. [18:36] Konoha     There are lots of people who     enjoy Akiba as it is now. [18:40] Konoha     And... [18:42] Konoha     I don't want to erase all of the work     that everyone at Alcohol Soft put in. [18:47] Konoha     I want to go back to my world, but     I can't get rid of this one, either. [18:53] Konoha     What should I do? [18:56] Mamoru     I wasn't done talking. [19:01] Mamoru     We're about to get down to business. [19:03] Mamoru     Pay attention. [19:05] Mamoru     I can't guarantee that what I'm     about to suggest will work out. [19:08] Mamoru     But if it does, you might be     able to go back to your world. [19:12] Konoha     What?! [19:13] Mamoru     You used to carry those games     around with you, right? [19:17] Mamoru     The ones from that used video game store. [19:20] Mamoru     Do you still have them? [19:21] Konoha     Huh? [19:22] Konoha     Y-Yeah. [19:25] Konoha     This is the only one that's left. [19:31] Mamoru     Comic Party. [19:33] Mamoru     A game from 1999. [19:36] Mamoru     Okay! [19:37] Mamoru     You're going to make another game. [19:40] Konoha     Excuse me? [19:41] Mamoru     And not just any ordinary game. [19:42] Mamoru     A game that's fun enough to     stand against The Last Waltz, [19:46] Mamoru     which we made back in '99. [19:47] Mamoru     You'll take that game and go back     to 1999 one more time. [19:52] Mamoru     And immediately after The     Last Waltz is released, [19:55] Mamoru     you'll release this game from a     company other than Alcohol Soft, [19:58] Mamoru     so it can compete as a rival game. [20:00] Mamoru     By doing that, Alcohol Soft's     success will still exist, [20:04] Mamoru     while preserving the course     of video games in Akiba. [20:07] Mamoru     In other words, [20:08] Mamoru     we'll create the course of events that leads     to the 2023 you know, here in this 2023. [20:13] Mamoru     We'll bring both histories into     existence simultaneously! [20:16] Konoha     What?! [20:17] Konoha     I-Is that even possible? [20:19] Mamoru     I don't know. [20:21] Mamoru     Either way, it's impossible to perfectly     bring about the same future, even with this. [20:25] Mamoru     However, we should be able to     preserve bishojo culture in Akiba. [20:30] Mamoru     Now all that's needed is passion. [20:32] Mamoru     As long as the passion is there, bishojo     games can continue to exist in Akiba. [20:36] Mamoru     You're the one who needs     to create that passion. [20:39] Mamoru     Make a game that's capable     of that much, one more time. [20:42] Konoha     O-One more time... [20:45] Konoha     There's only one of me! [20:46] Konoha     You want to me to make a game     all by myself this time? [20:49] Mamoru     I never said you had to do it alone. [20:51] Mamoru     I'll be there to help you out. [20:54] Mamoru     And that's not all. [20:57] Mamoru     You have these to help you, too! [20:59] Konoha     Huh? Ah... [21:03] Mamoru     They can do anything     that you ask of them! [21:06] Mamoru     These PC-98s, that is! [21:08] Mamoru     Well? [21:10] Mamoru     They're the most reliable     partners you could ask for! [21:18] Konoha     You're amazing, Mamoru-kun! [21:20] Mamoru     Huh? [21:21] Konoha     You haven't changed a bit! [21:24] Konoha     You may be an old man, but you     haven't changed, even a little! [21:28] Mamoru     Of course not. [21:30] Mamoru     Listen. [21:31] Mamoru     The world hasn't changed     as much as you think. [21:33] Mamoru     It just looks a little     different on the surface. [21:36] Mamoru     And your job is to change     it just a little again. [21:38] Mamoru     You can pull off that much, can't you? [21:40] Konoha     Yeah. [21:42] Mamoru     Now it's a matter of motivation. [21:44] Mamoru     Do you still have some     motivation left in you? [21:47] Konoha     Yeah! [21:51] Mamoru     You're facing off against your past self. [21:54] Mamoru     Can you beat her? [21:57] Konoha     Okay, Mamoru-kun. [22:00] Konoha     I'll give it all I've got!

[01:04] Mamoru     Game development has evolved. [01:06] Mamoru     Now, if you really want to, you     can make a game all by yourself, [01:10] Mamoru     with the help of AI. [01:12] Konoha     AI?! SIGN    16bit Sensation:     Another Layer SIGN    16bit Sensation:     Another Layer SIGN    "Original Cuu" [02:48] Mamoru     AI is responsible for creating the bulk     of illustrations in video games today. [02:53] Konoha     Wait, these are... [02:54] Mamoru     That's right. [02:55] Mamoru     These are your drawings from the past. [02:57] Mamoru     As a test, I'm going to train     the AI on this data. [02:59] Konoha     Mamoru-kun! [03:02] Mamoru     Don't worry. [03:03] Mamoru     This is a private AI that I created. [03:06] Mamoru     It hasn't been released to the public. [03:09] Mamoru     If we load in these images... [03:12] Mamoru     The AI will analyze them and     create similar-looking pictures. [03:16] Konoha     Whoa, that's amazing! [03:19] Mamoru     You can easily change the     coloring style as well. [03:21] Mamoru     From standard illustration coloring, [03:24] Mamoru     to anime-style coloring... [03:25] Mamoru     You can even make it look     like watercolor art. [03:28] Mamoru     It can automatically correct     issues with proportions as well. [03:31] Konoha     What?! [03:32] Konoha     That's super handy! [03:34] Mamoru     And it's not just art. [03:35] Mamoru     AI can assist you with the story and     music, both indispensable for a game. [03:41] Mamoru     This method of utilizing AI is now     mainstream for game development. [03:46] Mamoru     With this, you can make a     game by yourself, right? [03:49] Konoha     If AI is so advanced, can't it just make     games without humans doing anything? [03:55] Mamoru     It's true that, as a whole, that's where     game development is headed right now. [04:00] Mamoru     But even as AI evolves, there's     one thing that it can't create. [04:05] Mamoru     Do you know what that is? [04:07] Konoha     Huh? [04:08] Konoha     What could it be? [04:10] Mamoru     Passion. [04:12] Mamoru     AI can create games quickly, cheaply,     and at a high level of quality. [04:17] Mamoru     But there's no passion in them. [04:20] Mamoru     An AI doesn't have a reason to create games, [04:23] Mamoru     and it can't feel conflicted or     afraid about what it's made. [04:26] Mamoru     It simply carries out the instructions     that it's been given. [04:30] Mamoru     As a result, the games it spits out end     up lacking the passion of a creator. [04:34] Mamoru     That said... [04:35] Mamoru     Games without passion sell just fine. [04:38] Mamoru     Since they still appear to be well-made.

[04:56] Mamoru     It's a game that can change history. [04:58] Mamoru     You can't make a game     like that with just AI. [05:00] Mamoru     You need human hands for that. [05:03] Mamoru     Which means it's up to you to create it. [05:09] Konoha     So much pressure... [05:11] Mamoru     No need to look so grim. [05:14] Mamoru     We also have plenty of items     to combat fatigue now. [05:17] Mamoru     For example... [05:19] Mamoru     Office chairs with massaging built in!

[12:42] Construction Worker     I suppose you're right... [12:44] Construction Worker     Well then, Rokuta-san. [12:45] Construction Worker     I'll be leaving now. [12:46] Mamoru     Thanks for your hard work. [12:51] Mamoru     That goes for you, too. [13:01] Mamoru     Even if Konoha manages to finish her     game, what should we do after that? [13:07] Mamoru     Just taking the game and going back to 1999     doesn't mean she can get it released. [13:13] Mamoru     She needs to get copies made in the past, [13:15] Mamoru     so that the data can become     a part of history. [13:18] Mamoru     So who can she entrust with that task? [13:21] Mamoru     Someone who will believe     Konoha's bizarre tale, [13:24] Mamoru     and turn her game into a success... [13:31] Barista     Thank you for waiting! [13:48] Mamoru     Another coffee, please. [13:50] Barista     Right away! [13:55] Konoha     When's Toya-chan gonna get here? [14:31] Glenn     What do you think of your new office? [14:34] Glenn     We think it's perfect for someone     as beautiful and talented as you, [14:42] Glenn     Ms. Toya. [14:44] Toya     Yes. [14:44] Toya     It's quite a splendid office. [14:47] Toya     There's one thing, though. [14:49] Toya     Why won't you let me meet     your founder, Mr. Glenn? [14:54] Glenn     My deepest apologies. [14:55] Glenn     Our founder is currently dealing     with a very important matter. [15:00] Glenn     I have word that you'll be the first     priority as soon as it's settled, Ms. Toya. [15:05] Toya     Is there something that takes     priority over our meeting? [15:09] Toya     I thought we were supposed to     be equal business partners. [15:12] Glenn     Why, of course it's an equal partnership. [15:14] Glenn     That's exactly the reason you're     sitting at that desk, Ms. Toya. [15:18] Glenn     You saw our cuu game development know-how, [15:21] Glenn     struck a deal, and agreed to the terms. [15:24] Toya     I was... [15:24] Glenn     Ah, yes, I know. [15:27] Glenn     I understand how you must feel. [15:29] Glenn     That said, you're speaking with     the CEO of Planet Games Japan. [15:33] Glenn     My authority is nothing to make light of... [15:35] Glenn     Oh? [15:37] Glenn     My word. [15:39] Glenn     Yes, excellent! [15:41] Glenn     Rejoice, Ms. Toya! [15:43] Glenn     Konoha Akisato-sama is headed your way. [15:47] Toya     Onee-sama?! [15:48] Glenn     You've been dying to meet her, haven't you? [15:51] Toya     Headed my way? [15:52] Toya     Mr. Glenn! [15:53] Toya     Why is Onee— Konoha Akisato-san coming here?! [15:57] Glenn     Why, it's simple. [15:59] Glenn     All I did was call her up. [16:00] Glenn     A single phone call. [16:02] Glenn     Ring, ring! [16:03] Glenn     Ah, and I just happened to     enlist your help in the matter. [16:08] Toya     What? [16:09] Toya's Voice     Onee-sama, where are you right now? [16:12] Toya     You used my voice... [16:14] Toya's Voice     In order to get Onee-sama's phone     number, I hacked into your cell phone! [16:20] Toya's Voice     I'd do anything to meet Onee-sama again. [16:24] Toya     But I couldn't reach her, no     matter how many times I tried... [16:27] Toya     So how? [16:28] Glenn     Now we've achieved what we set     out to do with this merger. [16:33] Glenn     It was truly a long process getting here. [16:36] Glenn     But now it's finally in our hands: [16:39] Glenn     Original Cuu. [16:41] Glenn     The genius creator     behind The Last Waltz. [16:45] Glenn     The mysterious figure sought out by all, [16:48] Glenn     so that they might learn     the source of her ideas. [16:51] Glenn     Konoha Akisato. [16:53] Glenn     Even as her name became known around the     world, no one knew of her whereabouts. [16:59] Glenn     There was nobody who had met     her, or spoken with her. [17:02] Glenn     With a limited number     of exceptions, that is. [17:05] Glenn     And you were one of those     lucky few, Ms. Toya. [17:09] Toya     What are you planning on     doing with Onee-sama?! [17:13] Toya     Don't tell me... [17:14] Toya     You're going to subject her to that?! [17:16] Toya     Is that... [17:17] Toya     Is that why you acquired my company?! [17:20] Glenn     Ms. Toya, have you heard the saying,      "A flower cannot bloom without secrecy"? [17:26] Glenn     Now, we can become the masters     of global entertainment. [17:31] Glenn     The fame, fortune, and admiration you     so desired is practically guaranteed. [17:36] Toya     Why are you telling me all of this? [17:39] Toya     If I report this to the police... [17:45] Glenn     You'll do no such thing. [17:47] Glenn     We did our research on you going     into this merger, Ms. Toya. [17:53] Glenn     You're cut from the same cloth as us. [17:57] Glenn     Therefore, you won't go to the police. [18:01] Glenn     Or rather, you can't! [18:02] Glenn     Am I wrong, Ms. Toya? [18:06] Glenn     Let's settle this peacefully, Ms. Toya. [18:09] Glenn     I promise we'll make it worth it for you. [18:12] Glenn     So long. [18:13] Toya     Wait! [18:18] Toya     Onee-sama... [18:27] Konoha     The hospital? [18:30] Konoha     Why am I... [18:35] Konoha     That's right. [18:37] Konoha     I was waiting to meet up with Toya-chan,     when I was dragged into that van... [18:41] Konoha     After that... [18:43] Konoha     What is this?! [18:46] Konoha     They put me into a plugsuit-looking thing! [18:50] Konoha     My clothes? They're gone! [18:52] Konoha     My phone? Gone! [18:53] Konoha     My backpack? Gone! [18:56] Konoha     But seriously, what is this place? [19:00] Konoha     Am I going to be sold off     to some super rich guy? [19:04] Konoha     Like in one of those games... [19:06] Konoha     Huh? [19:07] Konoha     The door's not locked! [19:12] Konoha     In situations like these,     when the door is unlocked, [19:15] Konoha     in most games, that means there's     something waiting outside. [19:25] Konoha     E-Excuse me... [19:31] Konoha     Anyway, let's look for a way out. [19:40] Konoha     Wait. [19:41] Konoha     Is this a life-size figure? [19:53] Konoha     Is that the exit? [20:00] Konoha     What?! [20:04] Konoha     Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh... [20:06] Konoha     What is this place?! [20:13] Konoha     Wait, more figures? [20:15] Konoha     It's really creeping me out... [20:19] Konoha     N-No... [20:21] Konoha     This isn't a figure! [20:23] Konoha     These are people... [20:25] Konoha     There are humans trapped inside! [20:28] Konoha     In all of these tanks?! [22:26] Mamoru     When I saw her... [22:28] Mamoru     It looked like she was waiting for someone. [22:32] Mamoru     But in the brief moment that I took my eyes     off her, she vanished into thin air. [22:38] Mamoru     Her words immediately     before she disappeared, [22:40] Mamoru     as well as the vehicle     that I saw drive off... [22:50] Matsubara     Yes, Matsubara speaking.

[06:19] Mamoru     It was supposed to be a railway line to     connect to Tokyo, from Tsukuba to Akihabara.

[06:31] Mamoru     Construction of the train     station was halted, [06:33] Mamoru     and in its place, they built the radio     tower that is Akihabara Sky Tower.

[08:18] Glenn     Oh, what a surprise. [08:20] Glenn     Just how old are you, Original Cuu? [08:24] Glenn     The genius creator behind The Last Waltz! [08:27] Glenn     You should be close to 50 years old,     but you look like a young girl! [08:31] Glenn     I see, I see... [08:36] Glenn     You truly are an extraordinary being! [08:39] Glenn     The perfect fit for this place! [08:41] Konoha     Wh-Who in the world are you?! [08:43] Konoha     Take me back to Akiba! [08:45] Konoha     And what's the deal with this place?! [08:48] Glenn     Oh, I do apologize, Ms. Konoha. [08:52] Glenn     My name is Glenn Faulkner. [08:54] Glenn     I'm the CEO of Planet Games Japan. [08:58] Glenn     And Ms. Konoha, you happen to find     yourself in our development room. [09:03] Konoha     D-Development room? [09:05] Konoha     You mean for developing video games? [09:08] Konoha     B-But... [09:11] Konoha     I don't see any desks, or even a computer! [09:15] Konoha     S-So what are these people doing, then?! [09:18] Konoha     They're trapped in these weird tanks! [09:22] Glenn     Why, they're working for us, of course. [09:26] Glenn     You could say that they're something     like sustenance for our CI. [09:31] Konoha     C-CI? Sustenance?! [09:33] Glenn     Cybernetic intelligence. [09:36] Glenn     Our company's glorious integrated     entertainment development system. [09:41] Glenn     Ms. Konoha. [09:42] Glenn     I'll be open with you and     tell you everything. [09:47] Glenn     As you know, AI has surpassed     humanity in the past few years, [09:52] Glenn     and all creative matters     have been left to AI. [09:56] Glenn     At first, there were no problems with that. [09:58] Glenn     A game that would take humans several years     could be finished by AI in a single day! [10:03] Glenn     A bright new future was upon us! [10:06] Glenn     Boo! [10:07] Glenn     However, it wasn't long     before we reached a limit. [10:11] Glenn     The things AI create end up     pretty much all being the same. [10:14] Glenn     AI are completely lacking in anything     like imagination or spontaneity. [10:20] Glenn     And so, the quality of a game ends up     depending yet again on time and money spent. [10:25] Glenn     Game development goes right back     to becoming a numbers game. [10:29] Glenn     But then we came up with an idea. [10:31] Glenn     It was time once again for     humans to be put to work. [10:35] Glenn     This CI is hooked up to 200 people. [10:40] Glenn     All of them were originally     creative professionals. [10:43] Konoha     What?! [10:44] Glenn     By connecting their brains and     neural networks to computers, [10:49] Glenn     the CI becomes able to consult     human sensibilities, [10:52] Glenn     to create completely original games, [10:55] Glenn     the likes of which no one has seen before. [10:58] Glenn     24 hours a day, 365 days a year. [11:01] Glenn     These people do a great     deal of work for the CI. [11:04] Glenn     With compensation, of course. [11:07] Glenn     AI used to assist human beings. [11:10] Glenn     Now it's the other way around. [11:12] Glenn     That's all there is to it. [11:13] Glenn     It's not a bad deal for these folks, either. [11:17] Glenn     The CI get to make use of their talent, [11:20] Glenn     without any of it going to waste. [11:22] Konoha     S-Still! [11:23] Konoha     Say what you will, but     this is way too cruel! [11:26] Glenn     Ms. Konoha. [11:28] Glenn     That talent of yours... [11:29] Glenn     We're the ones who can utilize it 100%. [11:34] Glenn     I promise we won't put those     phenomenal gifts of yours to waste. [11:39] Glenn     Okay, let us proceed, Ms. Toya! [11:43] Toya     Onee-sama. [11:44] Toya     Please enter this CI. [11:49] Toya     Starting today, you'll be... [11:51] Toya     hooked up to this system! [12:03] Mamoru     It feels different here than it did earlier. [12:05] Mamoru     Where could Konoha be? [12:15] Zombie Debugger A     Cuu... Cuu... [12:24] Mamoru     What's the deal with him? [12:26] Mamoru     Doesn't look like he's dead. [12:27] Zombie Debugger A     Cuu... Cuu... [12:36] Group     Cuu... Cuu... [12:38] Group     Cuu... Cuu... [12:43] Mamoru     Wait, is this a debug room? [12:47] Mamoru     But look at them... [12:49] Mamoru     They're practically zombies! [13:10] Mamoru     Based on the personnel     upstairs and down here, [13:13] Mamoru     we're not dealing with     anyone ordinary here. [13:16] Mamoru     Konoha... Is she all right? [13:19] Konoha     I don't wanna! [13:22] Toya     Onee-sama. [13:23] Toya     You won't be in any pain     when you enter the CI. [13:26] Toya     You'll just be spending time     in a tank for a while. [13:30] Toya     That's all. [13:31] Konoha     N-No! [13:33] Konoha     No, I don't wanna! [13:34] Konoha     Toya-chan, you've completely changed! [13:37] Konoha     What's gotten into you?! [13:40] Toya     It's been over twenty years since then. [13:44] Toya     To save my company, to survive... [13:48] Toya     I needed to accept this merger. [13:50] Toya     If I didn't, my company     would have gone under! [13:53] Toya     But as a result, I ended     up getting you involved. [13:58] Konoha     Toya-chan... [14:01] Toya     You've... [14:02] Toya     You've always been my idol. [14:04] Toya     I still look up to you to this day! [14:06] Toya     Creating such an incredible     game and changing the world! [14:09] Toya     I wanted to be just like you! [14:15] Toya     But I couldn't do it. [14:21] Konoha     Th-That's not true! [14:23] Konoha     Toya-chan, you're amazing! [14:24] Konoha     You started your own company! [14:26] Konoha     Y-You're way, way more     incredible than I ever was! [14:30] Konoha     Really... Really! [14:32] Toya     I'm not... [14:34] Toya     I'm not a genius like you are. [14:37] Toya     But I have my employees, [14:39] Toya     and fans with expectations, [14:41] Toya     so I need to keep on creating games! [14:45] Toya     So... Onee-sama... [14:48] Toya     I'm sorry. [14:50] Toya     I'm sorry... [14:53] Konoha     Toya-chan... [14:55] Konoha     P-Please don't cry. [14:57] Konoha     I'm... I'm not... [15:08] Toya     Onee-sama? [15:09] Konoha     I'm sorry! [15:10] Konoha     I'm sorry, I'm sorry! [15:12] Konoha     The truth is that I'm no genius! [15:16] Konoha     I'm nothing but ordinary! [15:18] Konoha     And yet... And yet... [15:21] Konoha     It's my fault that the Akiba I love is gone! [15:24] Konoha     That the games I love are gone! [15:26] Konoha     Even the bishojo I love are gone! [15:29] Konoha     And worst of all, I was     causing you so much pain... [15:32] Konoha     I hate this world, and     this way of making games! [15:37] Toya     Onee-sama... [15:40] Konoha     I have a lot to thank computers for! [15:44] Konoha     I mean, it's thanks to my computer     that I became a good artist! [15:50] Konoha     It may not be that impressive     to anyone else, [15:54] Konoha     but I learned to make art     that I thought was amazing [15:57] Konoha     because of computers and     the programs on there! [16:01] Konoha     But if this is where that leads us,     then to Hell with computers! [16:06] Konoha     There's no joy to be had making     games in a world like this! [16:10] Konoha     I'll make sure I rewrite it! [16:12] Konoha     I'll make sure I completely     overwrite such a world! [16:16] Konoha     I'll... I'll... [16:20] Konoha     create a game to make everyone happy! [16:25] Toya     O-Onee-sama... [16:28] Glenn     Goodness gracious. [16:29] Glenn     I have places to be, you know. [16:32] Glenn     I think that's enough catching up. [16:34] Glenn     Please make up your mind, Ms. Toya. [16:37] Glenn     If you refuse, then I'll take     matters into my own hands. [16:41] Glenn     I'll give you three seconds. [16:45] Glenn     Three. [16:46] Glenn     Two. [16:48] Glenn     One. [16:55] Mamoru     Konoha! [16:57] Konoha     That voice...

[18:00] Konoha     The robots from before! [18:02] Mamoru     Don't worry about them. [18:03] Konoha     What? [18:04] Konoha     Huh? [18:05] Mamoru     They're on our side now. [18:08] Konoha     Our side? [18:09] Mamoru     Yeah. [18:10] Konoha     I've hacked them to link them up     to the PC-98s in the warehouse. [18:14] Konoha     What?! [18:16] Mamoru     I've said it countless times: [18:18] Mamoru     nothing can beat the PC-98! [18:22] Guard A     I see them! There! [18:24] Guard A     Geez, wasting our time like that...

[19:26] Guard F     Trying to create a smokescreen? [19:28] Guard F     That's cute. [19:29] Alert     Extinguishing fire. [19:35] Konoha     Mamoru-kun, what was that back there? [19:37] Mamoru     I used a flare to set off the     fire extinguisher system. [19:41] Mamoru     It should buy us some time. [19:44] Glenn     What are all of you idiots doing?! [19:47] Glenn     How much time are you going to     waste capturing two people?! [19:51] Glenn     Damn it! [19:53] Guard H     Mr. Glenn! [19:54] Glenn     What now?!

[20:14] Toya     I'll take Onee-sama's place! [20:18] Glenn     And here I was wondering what you'd say. [20:21] Glenn     You, take her place? [20:25] Glenn     You'll never be fit to take her place. [20:32] Glenn     Beat it. [20:33] Glenn     Go and get out of my sight. [20:41] Konoha     Yes! [20:42] Konoha     We're almost there! [20:43] Mamoru     Yeah, we are. [20:55] Guard C     It stopped... [20:57] Konoha     M-Mamoru-kun! [20:59] Konoha     The lift stopped moving! [21:02] Glenn     You sure have given us a     hard time, Original Cuu. [21:08] Glenn     But our game of cat and mouse ends here. [21:15] Glenn     You have nowhere to run.

[01:28] Konoha     Where are we? [01:30] Mamoru     Dunno. [01:31] Mamoru     Don't ask me. [01:33] Mamoru     At the very least, it's not     where we were a moment ago. [01:38] Konoha     Mamoru-kun, you're     pretty calm about all this. [01:42] Mamoru     It beats being chased around     by those weird thugs. [01:45] Echo One     Have you come to? [01:49] Mamoru     You're... [01:50] Echo One     Oh, if it isn't Mamoru-san. [01:54] Echo One     Did you try out the game that we made? [01:58] Konoha     Mamoru-kun, do you know him? [02:01] Mamoru     It's a long story. [02:07] Echo One     I'm glad we made it in time. [02:09] Echo One     If something had happened to you here, [02:11] Echo One     we would have had to make another long trip. [02:15] Echo One     But now we finally get to meet. [02:17] Konoha     U-Um... [02:19] Konoha     Who exactly might you be? [02:21] Echo One     You could call us many things. [02:24] Echo One     I'm afraid I don't have a concise answer. [02:30] Mamoru     You... [02:34] Echo One     I have embarked on a long journey     to come face to face with you. [02:39] Echo One     And to tell you these words. [02:43] Echo One     May I have your autograph? [02:46] Konoha     Huh? [02:47] Echo One     I'm a fan of yours. [02:50] Konoha     Fan? [02:51] Echo One     Yes, a big one! [02:54] Konoha     U-Um, well, what do you want     me to autograph? [02:59] Echo One     Right here. [03:02] Konoha     Autograph this? [03:04] Konoha     This box? [03:05] Echo One     Yes, please! [03:12] Konoha     H-Here you go. [03:18] Echo One     Thank you so much. [03:20] Konoha     N-No, it's my pleasure. [03:25] Echo One     This is a video game. [03:27] Echo One     The game that you'll complete in the future. [03:30] Konoha     What? [03:31] Echo One     I believe you should be in the     middle of development now. [03:35] Echo One     This game is a masterpiece. [03:39] Konoha     Thanks for the kind words, but we're     in the middle of making it... [03:45] Echo One     That's true. Let me think... [03:48] Echo One     Would you like to see     what kind of game it is? [03:51] Konoha     What? [03:53] Echo One     This is what the game you're     about to create is like. [04:02] Echo One     This is how your game appears to us. [04:06] Echo One     Konoha-san, do you know what this light is? [04:09] Konoha     Not really... [04:11] Konoha     But there's something mysterious about it... [04:15] Echo One     This is human imagination. [04:18] Konoha     Imagination? [04:20] Echo One     Isn't it fascinating? [04:22] Echo One     Even as it takes on new form     with the passage of time, [04:24] Echo One     it continues to live on, as you can see. [04:29] Echo One     And it's not just you. [04:31] Echo One     Every human being possesses     the same faculty. [04:35] Echo One     Why, take a look. [04:40] Echo One     For humans, it's not any     sort of special power. [04:52] Toya     Wh-What's this light?! [04:54] Echo One     Children, adults, and the elderly alike. [04:57] Echo One     No matter where they may live, it's     an ability that they all possess. [05:02] Echo One     And depending on how it's used, [05:04] Echo One     it can produce enormous power,     and make anything possible. [05:08] Echo One     Yes, like this game. [05:11] Echo One     When I first came across this game,      I couldn't understand this sensation. [05:17] Echo One     In search of the truth     behind this sensation, [05:19] Echo One     I've gone on a long, long journey,     and finally arrived here. [05:24] Echo One     It ended up taking far longer     than I had originally planned, [05:28] Echo One     but even so... [05:31] Echo One     I'm glad I was able to meet you. [05:36] Echo One     Right then. [05:37] Echo One     I eagerly await the completion of your game. [05:41] Echo Two     Mamoru-kun! [05:43] Echo Two     Bye-bye! [05:45] Konoha     U-Um... [05:47] Konoha     Who in the world are you?! [05:49] Konoha     Have I met you somewhere before? [06:13] Mamoru     So I passed out? [06:18] Konoha     Huh? [06:19] Konoha     Where's the UFO? [06:23] Toya     It disappeared? [06:25] Pedestrian A     That wasn't a dream... was it? [06:27] Pedestrian B     It wasn't. [06:28] Pedestrian D     No way!

[07:40] Meiko     He didn't tell you, Kono-chan? [07:43] Meiko     Mamoru-kun reached out to all of us. [07:47] Meiko     He told us you were in trouble, and asked     us to help you make your game. [07:52] Kaori     Hey, Mamocchi, what's the big idea? [07:56] Manager     Mamoru! [07:57] Manager     That side of you still hasn't changed, huh? [08:00] Kyonshi     Ah, my back's killing me...

[08:20] Kaori     Kono-chan sure is full of mysteries. [08:24] Kaori     How is she the same? [08:25] Meiko     Why, isn't it obvious? [08:29] Meiko     It's because Kono-chan is an angel! [08:35] Meiko     Kono-chan. [08:36] Meiko     Can we help out with the game you're making? [08:41] Meiko     We want to make a game with you! [08:45] Konoha     Yes! [08:47] Manager     All right!

[09:12] Toya     I'll be staying behind. [09:15] Toya     Besides, after getting you     involved in all of this, [09:19] Toya     I have no right to make a game with you... [09:21] Konoha     Sure you do! [09:23] Konoha     Didn't we promise each other? [09:26] Konoha     We said we'd make a game together! [09:28] Toya     You remembered our promise? [09:32] Konoha     Of course! [09:33] Konoha     I'd never forget my promise to you! [09:37] Konoha     So come with us! [09:41] Toya     I'm sorry, Onee-sama. [09:43] Toya     I can't go with you right now. [09:47] Toya     That said... [09:50] Toya     I'll call you once     everything's settled down.

[20:05] President     After their game became a hit,     they all moved over to the US. [20:09] President     After Alcohol Soft moved out, a different     game studio bought out the entire building. [20:15] President     They must have a lot of     money to throw around. [20:17] President     I should have gone into making games. [20:21] President     Damn shame... [20:24] Konoha     I see.
