SIGN Episode 7
"Keep the Secret a Secret"
[01:21] Bellnoa
This says this superhuman can
achieve a power level of 10,000,000!
[01:24] Nona
This says my attack level is 530,000!
[01:26] Haruto
What? You're already nearby?
[01:28] Haruto
You could have warned me, Kanmuri Seijirou!
[01:31] Haruto
Nona, Bellnoa! Stop looking
at the manga and hide!
[01:34] Seijirou
Hey.
[01:39] Haruto
K-Kanmuri!
[01:40] Haruto
How did you...
[01:43] Kanmuri
How, you ask?
[01:49] Kusabi
Like this! That's how!
[01:51] Haruto
I-It can't be.
[01:52] Haruto
The third moving figurine, Kusabi-chan,
belongs to you, Kanmuri?
[01:57] Seijirou
Bouida.
[01:58] Seijirou
We live in a country that's top class
in its otaku culture and hobbies,
[02:02] Seijirou
where we can enjoy ourselves to the fullest.
[02:04] Seijirou
We might even be happier
than any civilization or culture
[02:08] Seijirou
to have lived on this Earth.
[02:11] Haruto
You might be right.
[02:13] Seijirou
It's time to pay it forward!
[02:15] Seijirou
To leave this place even more wonderful
for future generations of otaku
[02:18] Seijirou
we must unravel the mystery
of the moving figurines!
[02:21] Seijirou
Don't you agree?
[02:23] Haruto
I have never been prouder than I am
today to call a man like you my friend!
[02:28] Seijirou
Bouida! Then you will...
[02:29] Haruto
Though I won't be helping you! You can do it!
[02:32] Seijirou
You bastard!
[02:34] Seijirou
As I thought, it's on the move...
[02:37] Seijirou
I've brought you a little present, Bouida.
[02:39] Seijirou
Whether you help me or not,
the experiment has already begun.
[02:44] Seijirou
This mysterious phenomenon
where figurines of beautiful girls
[02:46] Seijirou
begin to move on their own...
[02:48] Seijirou
Super Mobile Girls!
[02:50] Seijirou
That is what I have decided to call them!
[02:53] Haruto
You what? That's so embarrassing!
[02:55] Nona
A fourth moving figurine.
[02:57] Ozma
Data analysis complete!
[03:00] Ozma
Her name is Amanohara Subaru.
[03:02] Ozma
She's a character from Striking Fist 3,
a one-on-one fighting game.
[03:06] Bellnoa
Fighting...
[03:08] Bellnoa
Is she strong?
[03:09] Ozma
Yeah. Apparently, she was super strong.
[03:11] Ozma
Because her performance
stats were so overpowered,
[03:14] Ozma
there were some places that banned her use.
[03:16] Bellnoa
Hey! Apparently, you're really strong!
[03:18] Nona
Bellnoa's so fast!
[03:20] Subaru
Could this be... a competition?
[03:23] Bellnoa
That's right. A competition.
[03:24] Bellnoa
You look like a martial arts type.
[03:26] Bellnoa
I'll do this without my sword or magic!
[03:29] Nona
Wait, Bellnoa! You're moving too fast!
[03:31] Bellnoa
Fear not. We're fighting so that
we can better understand each other.
[03:35] Bellnoa
That's the how the power of friendship begins!
[03:38] Ozma
And there it is!
[03:39] Ozma
The influence of the manga
she was just reading!
[03:41] Bellnoa
Let's go!
[03:42] Bellnoa
Leg Laria—
[03:47] Nona
Huh? What's happening...
[03:48] Haruto
Ate-mi-Nage!
[03:49] Haruto
She redirects her opponent's attack
and uses it to throw them.
[03:52] Haruto
It's one of Subaru's signature moves!
[03:53] Bellnoa
Not bad. Now, it's my turn!
[03:57] Nona
What's that?
[03:58] Haruto
An Average Punch!
[03:59] Bellnoa
You...
[04:00] Bellnoa
Ow!
[04:01] Kusabi
And that?
[04:02] Haruto
An Average Kick!
[04:03] Nona
Those punches and kicks don't
seem very powerful, so why...
[04:06] Ozma
Well...
[04:06] Haruto
It's because she's strong on the zones!
[04:09] Haruto
In fighting games, the moves
of each of the characters
SIGN Attack Zone
SIGN Vulnerable Zone
[04:11] Haruto
have attack zones and vulnerable zones, but...
[04:13] Haruto
Subaru's attack zone is
much bigger than it looks.
[04:16] Haruto
And, for some reason, her hands
and fingers have no vulnerable zone.
[04:19] Haruto
All of which is why she can completely
evade her opponent's attacks!
[04:22] Nona
I see!
[04:24] Bellnoa
I won't hold back anymore!
[04:26] Bellnoa
Take this!
[04:27] Haruto
That's enough, Bellnoa!
[04:30] Haruto
If you fight with the combined power
of your sword and magic, as a hero,
[04:32] Haruto
there is no one who can beat you!
[04:35] Haruto
It won't be a competition anymore.
[04:37] Bellnoa
Y-You're right, Haruto. Sorry.
[04:40] Kusabi
Oh, and there goes Haruto!
[04:42] Kusabi
He may not know a girl's heart, but
he's good at appealing to a hero's heart!
[04:46] Haruto
A new moving figurine.
[04:47] Haruto
Amanohara Subaru. Seriously?
[04:49] Seijirou
What do you think, Bouida?
Has it served to rouse your curiosity?
[04:54] Haruto
Oh, that's right. You were here.
[04:55] Seijirou
Yes, I was!
[04:56] Seijirou
And I'm not the type that can just jump in
[04:58] Seijirou
when everyone is saying, "Wow!"
and having a good time!
[05:00] Seijirou
That aside, what do you think?
Don't you want to see what comes next?
[05:04] Seijirou
If you'll help, I'm sure we can unravel
the mystery of the Super Mobile Girls.
[05:10] Haruto
Kanmuri.
[05:11] Haruto
There's only one thing
I can say to you right now.
[05:14] Haruto
I wanted this figurine, but they
didn't make many, so I gave up.
[05:19] Haruto
Are you really giving it to me?
[05:20] Seijirou
I never said I'd give her to you!
[05:22] Nona
You wanted her?
[05:23] Haruto
Gulp!
[05:24] Nona
Haruto-san, you weren't planning
to cheat on me with her, too, right?
[05:27] Haruto
U-Um...
[05:28] Bellnoa
Hey. She's gone.
[05:30] Ozma
You're right! When did that happen?
[05:32] Haruto
Where is she? Come out, my Subaru-san!
[05:34] Nona
Hey! What did you just say?
[05:36] Kusabi
She's small, so if she hides,
it'll be super hard to find her.
[05:39] Haruto
Then it's time for Operation Tempt Her
from the Celestial Cave.
[05:43] Haruto
Amanohara Subaru is a master
of ancient Japanese martial arts,
[05:45] Haruto
but she's basically just a regular
human high school girl.
[05:48] Haruto
She must still be somewhere in this apartment.
[05:50] Ozma
Even if she is, why are we
playing a board game?
[05:53] Haruto
If we look like we're having fun playing
this game, I'm sure she'll come out.
[05:57] Haruto
Why? Because Amanohara Subaru...
[05:59] Haruto
is an otaku!
[06:01] Subaru
He just said my name.
[06:03] Subaru
Now that I think about it, what is
this place? Who are those giants?
[06:07] Subaru
If things were going to turn out this way,
[06:08] Subaru
I should've immersed myself in my
otaku hobbies instead of fighting.
[06:11] Subaru
I could have read all the hidden treasures
from the back of my bookshelf...
[06:14] Subaru
If only I'd binge watched anime
from first thing in the morning,
[06:16] Subaru
spent the whole night playing
through games over and over,
[06:18] Subaru
and lived the wonderful
life of the socially crippled!
[06:20] Kusabi
Nona, aren't you going to play the game?
[06:22] Nona
I am not.
[06:25] Subaru
The steam! I'm getting all damp!
[06:29] Subaru
Hey, stop it!
[06:30] Subaru
What's with this machine? It's like a trap
built to produce fan service scenes!
[06:33] Subaru
In this situation, if I'd been wearing a skirt,
a pantie-flash would have been inevitable!
[06:36] Subaru
I'm sorry I'm wearing a hakama
[06:37] Subaru
so the only fan service you'll get
is the zone right above my knees!
[06:39] Subaru
But I understand. I understand that
burning feeling that comes from a glimpse!
[06:42] Subaru
A glimpse of navel, the outline of a nipple,
[06:44] Subaru
can be precursors to love
that transcends gender!
[06:45] Subaru
I understand! I do!
[06:47] Subaru
I understand, so please turn it off!
[06:53] Subaru
Thinking about it calmly,
[06:55] Subaru
maybe it isn't that everything around me
is big. Maybe it's that I'm small?
[06:59] Nona
That's a very good guess.
[07:01] Nona
You're right. It's that we're small.
That much is correct.
[07:08] Nona
What should I do?
[07:09] Nona
Should I just tell her?
[07:11] Nona
Tell her that she's just a moving
1/6 scale figurine of a pretty girl,
[07:14] Nona
that she's a fictional character?
[07:17] Subaru
Um... Could it be that I'm a 1/6 scale figurine?
[07:21] Nona
Yes. Though I'm sure
it's difficult to believe.
[07:26] Nona
What?!
[07:27] Subaru
I thought so!
[07:29] Subaru
This is just about the right size for that.
[07:31] Subaru
And I feel like I was in that
kind of box to start with.
[07:34] Subaru
At the time, there was something crackly
that had the feel of a blister pack...
[07:37] Subaru
Then there's the faint smell of plasticizer
and paint coming from my whole body.
[07:41] Subaru
And the decisive evidence is...
[07:43] Subaru
See? I knew it!
[07:45] Subaru
Earlier when this flew up, I caught a glimpse.
[07:48] Nona
What? What? Where...
[07:49] Subaru
You're probably fine.
[07:51] Subaru
They don't usually do that
to the main body of a figurine.
[07:54] Subaru
It's usually on the stand.
[07:55] Subaru
Which means my hakama was made as a
separate piece that's meant to be removable.
[08:00] Subaru
That's so sexy.
[08:02] Subaru
Now that I think about it, what kind of
underwear am I supposed to be wearing?
[08:04] Subaru
Since I'm a figurine, I hope they
put effort into getting that right.
[08:07] Subaru
The standard is white,
[08:08] Subaru
but since I'm a fighter, maybe
sporty types or something?
[08:10] Subaru
Oh! And I can't rule out the
possibility of gym shorts.
[08:13] Subaru
In the spirit of discovering the
truth, I shall take everything off!
[08:15] Subaru
But that should really be done in private!
[08:18] Nona
Uh... Um...
[08:19] Subaru
Are you an android?
[08:21] Nona
Well... Yes.
[08:22] Subaru
That's awesome! So sexy! And seriously cool!
[08:24] Subaru
How much of that can you take off?
[08:26] Subaru
Showing mech-girls in any kind of
indecent situation is super rare, but...
[08:29] Subaru
could it be that you're set up to
make that dream come true?
[08:32] Nona
What? Um...
[08:33] Nona
Stop it!
[08:36] Subaru
I'd like to formally introduce myself to you.
[08:38] Subaru
I am the inheritor of the Shinkuu
Amanohara-style Jujitsu, Amanohara Subaru.
[08:44] Subaru
That is the back story of my
character in a fighting game...
[08:46] Subaru
And I'm a 1/6 scale figurine of her... I think.
[08:50] Ozma
It's amazing she realizes
all that right from the start.
[08:52] Haruto
There isn't much left to say!
[08:54] Haruto
It makes everything easier!
[08:55] Haruto
Um... I'm Bouida Haruto.
[08:57] Haruto
I'm a big fan of yours, and of your game!
[09:00] Haruto
Please feel free to relax and treat
this place as if it was your home.
[09:03] Haruto
We have tons of manga, games, and anime!
[09:06] Haruto
I'll pick out some I'm sure you'll like!
[09:08] Ozma
I've been wondering...
[09:10] Ozma
All of us moving figurines seem
to be made by Takasago-ya.
[09:14] Nona
Takasago-ya?
[09:16] Ozma
A minor model making company
[09:17] Ozma
that's been creating one super
niche figurine after another.
[09:23] Nona
Subaru-san, you're amazing!
[09:24] Nona
Or rather, what's this all of a sudden?
[09:26] Subaru
This person is a fan of mine
and of my game. Which means...
[09:31] Subaru
He knows all of my character
back story and stats
[09:34] Subaru
including my super private secrets?
[09:36] Haruto
It's true. I know everything.
[09:38] Haruto
Starting with Subaru-san's
individual character stats...
[09:41] Haruto
Height, 154 cm. Weight, 46 kg.
[09:44] Haruto
Sizes from the top, 78, 56, 82.
[09:48] Haruto
And I know the depths of the otaku interests
you never want anyone to find out about.
[09:52] Subaru
I knew it!
[09:54] Subaru
All of my full-on otaku
interests exposed! In detail!
[09:57] Subaru
And, of all things, to a man!
[09:59] Subaru
I could die.
[10:00] Subaru
My life meter has dropped
way beyond zero! It's overkill!
[10:03] Subaru
If God exists, he must be a super sadist!
[10:05] Nona
Wha— What?
[10:06] Haruto
Wait!
[10:09] Haruto
Please read that.
[10:11] Haruto
Don't let Nona or the others see it.
[10:14] Subaru
What is it? A letter?
[10:17] Subaru
What is this? Really? There's
something seriously wrong with you!
[10:20] Subaru
This is ridiculous. In a way, I respect you.
[10:22] Subaru
Are you sure you want me knowing all this?
[10:26] Subaru
You're the only one I'm telling
the depths of my otaku interests.
[10:31] Haruto
If other people found out, I might die.
[10:34] Haruto
So...
[10:38] Subaru
I understand.
[10:38] Subaru
We won't tell anyone. Either of us. Right?
[10:42] Ozma
I see. An exchange of secrets.
[10:44] Nona
How wonderful!
[10:46] Nona
By the way, Haruto-san,
[10:48] Nona
as your wife, I feel I have the right
to know those depths, as well!
[10:55] Kusabi
We've arrived at the office!
[10:57] Kusabi
I'm really handy to have around, right?
[11:00] Kusabi
You should be grateful, Seijirou!
[11:01] Kusabi
Or rather, Mr. Company President.
