[00:04] ---
    So hot...
[00:06] ---
    I can't breathe... suffocating...
[00:11] ---
    Soft... so--soft?!
[00:16] ---
    Tor... no touching there...
[00:19] ---
    Lilith?!
[00:20] ---
    What's she doing here?
[00:25] ---
    J-Julie?!
[00:27] ---
    Your hands are so big...
[00:34] ---
    Good morning, Tor.
[00:36] ---
    Hey--no peeking, Tor!
[00:40] ---
    Why are you both naked?!
[00:45] ---
    I can't sleep in clothes.
[00:48] ---
    Last night... was just so hot...
[00:51] ---
    Look, just get dressed... please!
[00:54] ---
    Morning!
[00:56] ---
    Get up already, Kokonoe, Julie.
    Training's about to...
[01:03] ---
    Kokonoe...
[01:05] ---
    ...you dog!
[01:20] ---
    We lived in a closed-up past
[01:26] ---
    With an ever-distant future and time unmoving
[01:31] ---
    Finding in our battle now
    what we were searching for
[01:36] ---
    The power to believe in each other,
    beyond even destiny
[01:41] ---
    We'll get stronger,
    you and me: a pair to the end
[01:46] ---
    This light reflects a bond
    even deeper than our wounds
[01:52] ---
    I want to protect you...
    and so my soul runs out to you now
[02:01] ---
    Just hand it over to me
    (all of it)--even your pain
[02:06] ---
    We're together (together) that's why
    (that's why) we can make it our strength
[02:11] ---
    I'll be your shield, and yours alone
[02:17] ---
    My back to yours,
    I believe in miracles (in meetings)
[02:21] ---
    No one can intrude on that (can't stop it)
[02:27] ---
    Looking down on our limits
    from far above: Absolute Soul
[02:38] ---
    "#8 Selection"
[02:44] ---
    Man, what a way to start the day.
[02:47] ---
    Kokonoe!
[02:51] ---
    Tachibana!
[02:56] ---
    I'm so sorry, Kokonoe!
    Julie and Lilith explained everything.
[03:00] ---
    It was rude of me to
    jump to conclusions like that!
[03:02] ---
    I-I'm just glad you understand. So, uh...
[03:06] ---
    Please... stop bowing.
[03:08] ---
    That won't do! The blame all lies on me!
[03:12] ---
    I see you're wasting no
    time getting up to your old tricks.
[03:16] ---
    What on earth did you do, Tor?
[03:18] ---
    Nej, Imari. It was me and--
[03:22] ---
    Stop right there!
[03:23] ---
    Hey, uh, we'd better circle
    up before Miss Tsukimi gets mad.
[03:30] ---
    We don't want that.
[03:32] ---
    Like I want that black-hearted
    bunny lecturing me.
[03:35] ---
    You don't like Professor Bunbun?
    But she's so cute!
[03:42] ---
    Ignorance really is bliss.
[03:46] ---
    Hey, Hotaka--thanks for bailing me out.
[03:53] ---
    Uh-huh!
[04:07] ---
    I had no idea.
[04:10] ---
    I never knew that just
    falling in love with someone
[04:14] ---
    could give you such a thrill...
[04:21] ---
    ...could make you feel so warm inside...
[04:26] ---
    ...could fill you with such strength...
[04:31] ---
    ...could make the whole world sparkle.
[04:39] ---
    Aaand that concludes
    our schedule for training camp!
[04:42] ---
    Our last day tomorrow will be
    nothing but long-awaited free time!
[04:47] ---
    But don't get too crazy,
    or you'll make me a very bothered bunny!
[04:51] ---
    Yes, miss!
[04:53] ---
    Tor!
[04:54] ---
    I'm about to polish up my radiant skin
    just for you--care to join me?
[05:01] ---
    Ja, I'll come with you.
[05:03] ---
    Tor, I'm off to take a bath.
[05:06] ---
    No, wait, not you--hey, stop pushing!
[05:10] ---
    Are they hitting it off, or is it just me?
[05:13] ---
    Like I know. I'm off for a little soak myself.
[05:17] ---
    Kokonoe!
[05:19] ---
    Nice work today, Hotaka.
    You really gave it your all at camp this week.
[05:23] ---
    Oh, um... Thanks to you, though.
[05:27] ---
    Hmm?
[05:28] ---
    N-Nothing! Do you
    have plans for tomorrow yet?
[05:33] ---
    No, nothing special.
[05:36] ---
    Do you want to come with us?
    Me and Tomoe and Imari? I mean...
[05:44] ---
    ...if you want to, that is...
[05:47] ---
    Yeah, sure!
[05:49] ---
    But where? There's not exactly
    anywhere fun on this island.
[05:54] ---
    The, uh... the beach.
[05:59] ---
    Of course--the beach is definitely
    somewhere fun. I'd totally forgotten.
[06:09] ---
    Hey, what's so funny?
[06:10] ---
    It's just... you're so...
[06:17] ---
    Yow! Hot!
[06:20] ---
    I'm the only guy here.
[06:22] ---
    Tora's asleep,
[06:24] ---
    and Tatsu is offering up
    training to the god of muscle.
[06:27] ---
    What is the god of muscle, anyway?
[06:30] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting, Tor.
[06:35] ---
    What do you think?
[06:37] ---
    What do I--
[06:39] ---
    You look great. Really cute.
[06:42] ---
    Ja.
[06:44] ---
    Over here, Tor!
[06:46] ---
    Hi!
[06:49] ---
    I understand you're dazzled
    by the veritable feast before you.
[06:53] ---
    Care to weigh in?
[06:56] ---
    Er, well...
[06:59] ---
    Lilith, uh, the word "gorgeous,"
    I think, suits you to a tee.
[07:05] ---
    And Imari...
[07:07] ---
    I think your figure's really attractive.
[07:10] ---
    No! Like... in an athletic way.
[07:14] ---
    Tachibana... well, you're beautiful.
[07:18] ---
    Hey, your face is red. Don't get sunstroke, now.
[07:21] ---
    Hotaka?
[07:22] ---
    C'mon, Miyabi! Take that
    frumpy old thing off already!
[07:27] ---
    But it doesn't look as
    good on me, and I'm too shy...
[07:32] ---
    No use arguing. Hai-yah!
[07:38] ---
    Hi there, K-Kokonoe...!
[07:44] ---
    I, uh, I think that looks
    great on you. Like... really great!
[07:51] ---
    Oh! Th-Thanks.
[07:56] ---
    You hold a pretty good beauty contest, Tor!
[07:59] ---
    Yep. Now let's get going.
[08:01] ---
    Right--the ocean awaits!
[08:06] ---
    Yahoo!
[08:09] ---
    I'll just take a dip, too.
[08:13] ---
    What's the big idea?!
[08:14] ---
    Ooh! You shouldn't neglect
    me like that, you big sadist, you!
[08:20] ---
    How do you like me in beach mode?
    Go on, tell me what you think!
[08:25] ---
    Okay, then: You're always in bitch mode.
[08:29] ---
    Thank you! I'm so happy,
    I'd like to kill you just a little bit,
[08:32] ---
    you rotten brat!
[08:34] ---
    Go on and try for your
    revenge any old time at all.
[08:38] ---
    Those two sure are close.
[08:42] ---
    Must be nice.
[08:47] ---
    Miyabi?
[09:33] ---
    Yep, the beach was definitely
    a good place to have fun.
[09:39] ---
    K-Kokonoe... d-do you want to... swim with me?
[09:47] ---
    Julie!
[09:48] ---
    I told you not to go alone!
[09:54] ---
    Look at this, Tor. I can swim
    forward all by myself now.
[09:59] ---
    Uh-huh. Great jo--
[10:05] ---
    You okay?
[10:07] ---
    Ja. I'm fine.
[10:09] ---
    J-J-Julie! Up top! Up top!
[10:14] ---
    It looks nice and sunny to me.
[10:15] ---
    Not that--your swimsuit!
[10:19] ---
    Did you see anything?
[10:20] ---
    I didn't--but only barely.
[10:23] ---
    "Barely" is good enough.
[10:26] ---
    Now let's get my top.
[10:31] ---
    Wait! Julie! Let go!
[10:33] ---
    Nej. I can't, Tor.
    If I let go, you'll get a peek.
[10:38] ---
    My suit is over there.
[10:41] ---
    My back--my back!
[10:44] ---
    Help me! I'm drowning!
[10:47] ---
    Lilith? You can swim!
[10:49] ---
    I'm drowning in your love!
[10:51] ---
    Oh, you are not either!
    Stop that! Don't glom onto me!
[10:57] ---
    Getting cold feet, Irregular?
    Put more backbone into it!
[11:01] ---
    Are they always like this?
[11:03] ---
    Unfortunately, yes.
[11:07] ---
    By the way,
[11:08] ---
    have you noticed anything about Miyabi?
[11:12] ---
    Of course.
[11:13] ---
    She'd been really down on herself,
    but she seems to have recovered.
[11:18] ---
    That's my chosen Duo, all right.
[11:23] ---
    We'll be saying goodbye tomorrow;
[11:25] ---
    a little meddling can't hurt.
[11:34] ---
    Mmm... nice.
[11:35] ---
    The branch school sure is lucky
    to have this hidden gem nearby.
[11:41] ---
    S-Stop, miss, please! Ow! Don't rub so hard!
[11:47] ---
    Wow! One touch is all it takes!
    My fingers sink right in!
[11:52] ---
    Nooo!
[11:54] ---
    On second look, they really are amazing...
[11:58] ---
    To think I would be the one to taste defeat!
[12:01] ---
    Say, what's your bra size?
[12:04] ---
    I-I can't tell you that!
[12:07] ---
    No pinching!
[12:08] ---
    "Pinching"?!
[12:09] ---
    This is what happens
    if you won't tell! Take that!
[12:14] ---
    I'll tell, I'll tell! Just, please--
[12:18] ---
    F! An F-cup!
[12:21] ---
    Hotaka's an F--F for "fantasy"!
[12:27] ---
    This overwhelming air of intimidation...
[12:29] ---
    I have no choice but
    to recognize her as my rival!
[12:32] ---
    Huh! That's strange! So soft,
    yet these bits here got all hard!
[12:42] ---
    No... please... stop!
[12:43] ---
    That's enough!
[12:45] ---
    If you mean to assault someone,
    let it be me instead!
[12:49] ---
    So you're volunteering
    for a little squeeze, are you?
[12:55] ---
    Miss Tsukimi!
[12:56] ---
    Ooh! These are worthy, too!
[12:58] ---
    Worthy how?!
[12:59] ---
    About the same size, I'd say.
[13:01] ---
    N-No... stop...!
[13:04] ---
    Save me, Julie!
[13:06] ---
    I'd like to touch them, too.
[13:09] ---
    Not you, too!
[13:12] ---
    Hey! Julie!
[13:12] ---
    It reminds me of Mama.
[13:14] ---
    You okay?
[13:16] ---
    I... I think so...
[13:19] ---
    Listen, Miyabi...
[13:22] ---
    You like Tor, don't you?
[13:23] ---
    Uh-huh.
[13:26] ---
    I-Imari, I, uh... you could tell?
[13:31] ---
    Well, yeah. You're always watching him.
[13:37] ---
    You've got some real competition, though.
[13:40] ---
    Yeah.
[13:42] ---
    The passionate Lilith, the friendly Tomoe,
[13:46] ---
    the no-filter-at-all Professor Bunbun.
[13:50] ---
    Then there's Tor's Duo and roommate,
    your biggest foe of all: Julie.
[13:56] ---
    She's genuine, cute, and strong.
    I don't stand a chance.
[14:03] ---
    Honestly, I can only see
    those two as a parent and a child.
[14:09] ---
    Or maybe a dog and its master.
[14:11] ---
    C'mon... But maybe you're right.
    And you look at Kokonoe plenty yourself.
[14:20] ---
    Imari?
[14:23] ---
    He and I clicked right away
    when we first met. It was uncanny.
[14:27] ---
    I figured we'd wind up
    getting along well together.
[14:30] ---
    If I were at the main school...
[14:34] ---
    But...
[14:35] ---
    ...all we have now is the
    affection of friends, I suppose.
[14:38] ---
    And that's why I want you to
    go for it--so you'll have no regrets.
[14:44] ---
    Imari...
[14:46] ---
    Go for it!
[14:49] ---
    Yeah!
[14:59] ---
    But how exactly
[15:01] ---
    do I go for it?
[15:06] ---
    Ow ow ow...
[15:08] ---
    Are you all right, Miyabi?
[15:10] ---
    Yeah, just twisted it a little.
[15:12] ---
    Don't be so sure, Miyabi! Better
    not move until you get it checked out.
[15:18] ---
    Go on, Tor--you carry her.
[15:20] ---
    Imari!
[15:22] ---
    She's right. C'mon, Hotaka.
[15:26] ---
    O-Okay. Thanks.
[15:32] ---
    Wow, will you look at the time!
    We're on chow duty today.
[15:38] ---
    Are we?
[15:39] ---
    Yes, ma'am! I totally
    forgot they asked us to help.
[15:42] ---
    Then we really should hurry back.
[15:47] ---
    Tor, Miyabi, we're going on ahead.
[15:50] ---
    Lilith, Professor Bunbun--get a move on!
[15:56] ---
    Seeing these brats all buddy-buddy
    really chafes my cheeks!
[16:00] ---
    What about you, princess?
[16:04] ---
    Everybody gets a chance.
    Not that anyone else will win.
[16:11] ---
    What was that about?
[16:22] ---
    Hey, uh...
[16:25] ---
    We did this once before, right?
[16:27] ---
    I couldn't believe it when
    you just collapsed like that.
[16:31] ---
    That's right, we did.
[16:32] ---
    But your words of encouragement
    back then really made me happy.
[16:40] ---
    If that's all it takes to cheer
    you up, I'll say anything you like!
[16:44] ---
    Then... could you... do something
    that would make me even happier?
[16:52] ---
    C-Call me by my first name!
    Like Julie and Lilith...
[17:00] ---
    Call me Miyabi!
[17:03] ---
    Got it. And you can call me Tor.
[17:07] ---
    Okay... T-Tor.
[17:13] ---
    Sure, M-Miyabi.
[17:21] ---
    Beautiful.
[17:23] ---
    It's breathtaking...
[17:27] ---
    Could you put me down, Tor?
[17:29] ---
    Is your foot okay?
[17:31] ---
    It seems to be fine now.
[17:34] ---
    All right. Just don't overdo it.
[17:52] ---
    Say, Tor?
[17:55] ---
    What's up?
[17:56] ---
    Thank you so, so much. For everything.
[18:00] ---
    If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here now.
[18:06] ---
    Miyabi?
[18:07] ---
    Um... I... I...
[18:14] ---
    The thing is, I--
[18:23] ---
    I like you.
[18:24] ---
    A lot.
[18:30] ---
    Those outdoor baths aren't bad at all.
[18:33] ---
    And what strange turn of events
    has you now enjoying student life?
[18:38] ---
    If my journey ends with Absolute Duo,
    why not enjoy the ride?
[18:44] ---
    Right?
[18:47] ---
    Seven people brought together
    with Absolute Duo at their core...
[18:50] ---
    But the Blaze Diabolica
    doesn't need me explaining Reign.
[18:55] ---
    Don't bandy that name about.
[19:00] ---
    You're rather cold to
    a friend in Reign's sights.
[19:04] ---
    That older gentleman must be in a bind.
[19:07] ---
    I'm sure. They'll probably
    try something tonight.
[19:12] ---
    If not, I'll have come here for nothing.
[19:18] ---
    So you're bait?
[19:20] ---
    Yes, just like these branch-school
    students prepared as sacrifices.
[19:26] ---
    In fact, Tor Kokonoe bowed to
    me without knowing anything about it.
[19:38] ---
    Miyabi...
[19:40] ---
    I like you, Tor.
[19:42] ---
    We haven't known each other for long,
    but you're always cheering me on...
[19:48] ---
    Your kind words give
    me so much support, and I...
[19:54] ---
    I love you!
[19:55] ---
    So, please...
[19:59] ---
    ...will you go out with me?
[20:04] ---
    Miyabi--in love with me?
[20:09] ---
    But...
[20:11] ---
    ...these hands of mine...
[20:31] ---
    Another one dead.
[20:33] ---
    Tor... you're weak, that's why.
[20:41] ---
    I'm sorry. I can't love you back.
[20:45] ---
    I'm... I'm weak.
[20:48] ---
    So you and I...
[20:57] ---
    Oh, o-of course. Of course... you can't.
[21:07] ---
    I-I'm such a weirdo... Sorry!
[21:12] ---
    Miya--
[21:29] ---
    I just meant to look at you,
    not knowing a thing
[21:40] ---
    Wanting only to give shape to my feelings
[21:51] ---
    We pass each other: I first notice the size of it all
[22:01] ---
    And feel it so deeply it hurts
[22:07] ---
    Together we can overcome,
    even if lost in countless nights
[22:17] ---
    Someday we'll be strong for real
[22:27] ---
    Alone, our hearts are immature;
    together, they are one
[22:38] ---
    Trusting in the ties that bind us, we walk on
[23:00] ---
    What the--?
[23:08] ---
    Now, then, shall we begin?
[23:10] ---
    The Rebels, our god-slaying corps,
[23:13] ---
    and the Exceeds--
[23:15] ---
    time to judge and be judged in the Selection!
[23:25] ---
    It's those guys who butted in on our Survive.
[23:28] ---
    I never thought they'd be back.
[23:30] ---
    Tomoe, they seem tougher than before.
[23:32] ---
    Well, so are we! Let's do this!
[23:35] ---
    "Next time: Rebels"
[23:35] ---
    Next time: "Rebels."
[23:37] ---
    Miyabi, please be all right!
