SIGN    Episode 12: True Heart
[01:47] Fake Hajime
    As expected, you keep your cool.
[01:50] Fake Hajime
    Did you anticipate this, me?
[01:53] Hajime
    Of course. I have a pretty good grasp
    of the concept of this labyrinth.
[01:59] Hajime
    Add Amanogawa's testimony on top of that,
[02:02] Hajime
    and it was only a matter of time
    before this type of thing came up.
[02:05] Fake Hajime
    So, what is this "concept," may I ask?
[02:09] Hajime
    You're me, right?
[02:11] Hajime
    Then you don't need to ask.
[02:13] Fake Hajime
    Oh no, I am you, but not all of you.
[02:18] Fake Hajime
    You knew that too, right?
[02:20] Hajime
    The concept of this labyrinth
    is to overcome oneself.
[02:25] Hajime
    The negative side of yourself,
    an ugly side you tried to look away from,
[02:29] Hajime
    reality that you want to deny
    or escape from, conflicting emotions.
[02:34] Hajime
    Being able to overcome those things.
[02:37] Hajime
    The greatest powers are worthless
    if the heart is weak.
[02:41] Hajime
    I guess it's a test to see if you can
    avoid getting taken advantage of by the god.
[02:47] Fake Hajime
    Good job, me. You're completely correct.
[03:25] Fake Hajime
    So, Hajime Nagumo.
    Can you overcome yourself?
[03:33] Hajime & Fake Hajime
    Die.
[03:53] Fake Hajime
    You're strong. Really strong.
[03:56] Fake Hajime
    Not a power humans could
    realistically achieve.
[04:05] Fake Hajime
    Freakish strength, blood-stained hands,
[04:09] Fake Hajime
    and a heart that doesn't
    hesitate to take lives.
[04:12] Hajime
    What's your point?
[04:13] Fake Hajime
    Do you honestly believe you have
    any place in your home world?
[04:18] Fake Hajime
    That world has no love for murderers.
[04:21] Fake Hajime
    Who would ever accept a freak?
[04:35] Fake Hajime
    You're really afraid, aren't you?
[04:37] Fake Hajime
    You're afraid that you no longer
    have a home to go back to!
[04:43] Fake Hajime
    You're afraid that your world,
    your family, would reject you!
[04:49] Hajime
    You talk too much.
[04:52] Fake Hajime
    That's why you couldn't
    ignore Aiko Hatayama's words.
[04:56] Fake Hajime
    When she pointed out how your
    life would be after you went back,
[04:58] Fake Hajime
    it really shook you to your core.
[05:02] Fake Hajime
    You view Aiko Hatayama as your mentor
[05:05] Fake Hajime
    because she offered an answer, albeit small,
[05:07] Fake Hajime
    to a real question burning in your heart.
[05:14] Fake Hajime
    But leaving behind your lonely lifestyle
[05:16] Fake Hajime
    doesn't change the fact
    that you're a blood-drenched freak.
[05:20] Fake Hajime
    Your family, your world,
    would never accept you!
[05:25] Fake Hajime
    The first time you killed someone,
    you said you felt nothing.
[05:30] Fake Hajime
    But I know that was a lie.
[05:35] Fake Hajime
    You might not have felt guilt,
    but you certainly felt something.
[05:39] Fake Hajime
    Fear!
[05:43] Fake Hajime
    You're so glad Yue is here.
[05:46] Fake Hajime
    As long as Yue's there...
[05:47] Fake Hajime
    As long as you keep
    saying she's all you need.
[05:50] Fake Hajime
    You can cling to her,
    no matter who else denies you.
[05:54] Fake Hajime
    You love Yue? From the bottom
    of your heart, no exaggeration?
[05:59] Fake Hajime
    No, you don't.
[06:04] Fake Hajime
    It's just dependence.
[06:08] Fake Hajime
    When you're rejected by something,
    you need someone to protect your heart.
[06:13] Fake Hajime
    The emotion you mistake for love
    is mostly just comfort.
[06:19] Fake Hajime
    Yes. Yue, to you, is just a backup.
[06:41] Hajime
    I guess you can't help it,
    due to the nature of the test,
[06:45] Hajime
    but you really do talk too much.
[06:48] Fake Hajime
    My words come from your heart.
[06:51] Fake Hajime
    You must know I'm not just making stuff up.
[06:56] Fake Hajime
    How are you so calm?
[06:58] Fake Hajime
    Humans, by nature, are unable
    to face their ugly, dirty side.
[07:03] Hajime
    If that's the strict definition
    of what makes a human,
[07:07] Hajime
    then I guess I'm really no longer human.
[07:10] Hajime
    A true, complete freak, born in the abyss.
[07:14] Fake Hajime
    But...?
[07:17] Hajime
    I guess I could get rejected.
[07:20] Hajime
    Maybe there really is no place
    for me back home.
[07:23] Hajime
    But still... I still push forward.
[07:28] Fake Hajime
    You'll just lie to yourself, then?
[07:31] Hajime
    Was the journey up to here that easy? Easy
    enough to get through just by lying to myself?
[07:37] Hajime
    It was true back in the abyss as well.
[07:40] Hajime
    No matter what concerns or fears I had,
[07:43] Hajime
    I pushed through,
    with determination as my weapon.
[07:47] Hajime
    Besides, it's the labyrinth
    that made me a freak.
[07:51] Hajime
    For you to turn around and try to size me up
    with words doesn't make any sense.
[07:55] Fake Hajime
    I don't think a freak like you could live
    a decent life from now on.
[08:00] Hajime
    Actually, there are several
    weirdos who prefer this freak.
[08:05] Hajime
    Oh... And let me correct one thing.
[08:09] Hajime
    I wouldn't say "most." Probably around 0.1%.
[08:13] Fake Hajime
    What?
[08:14] Hajime
    My feeling for Yue
    as a backup is probably 0.1%.
[08:18] Hajime
    The remaining 99.9% is love.
[08:25] Fake Hajime
    Couldn't you have kept it
    at 10% or something?
[08:36] Fake Hajime
    How is he overwhelming me?
[08:39] Fake Hajime
    It's impossible. It's not
    like I'm weakening either.
[08:44] Hajime
    Weakening?
[08:46] Fake Hajime
    This test is designed
    to make you overcome yourself.
[08:49] Fake Hajime
    The more you're able to face
    and overcome your dark emotions,
[08:52] Fake Hajime
    I, as a representation of
    that negativity, grow weaker.
[08:55] Fake Hajime
    Conversely, if you look away
    and deny the truth, I grow stronger.
[09:00] Hajime
    Ah, so that's how it works.
[09:10] Fake Hajime
    But you haven't overcome anything.
[09:14] Fake Hajime
    You're just tabling it for the future.
[09:19] Fake Hajime
    To prove that, I haven't gotten any weaker.
[09:22] Fake Hajime
    Our combat capabilities
    should be at least equal!
[09:25] Fake Hajime
    Yet you're overwhelming me,
    even though I'm you!
[09:30] Hajime
    To be accurate, you're me,
    before we faced each other, right?
[09:36] Fake Hajime
    W-What do you mean?!
[09:44] Hajime
    Don't you get it?
[09:45] Hajime
    You're created out of
    information you gathered about me.
[09:50] Hajime
    That's probably the
    information starting from
[09:52] Hajime
    when I entered this
    labyrinth up to this ice tree.
[09:57] Hajime
    In other words, you're me,
    from a bit less than an hour ago.
[10:01] Hajime
    In that case, all I have to do is
    become stronger than me from back then.
[10:08] Fake Hajime
    Impossible. That's...
[10:12] Hajime
    I have to thank you.
[10:14] Hajime
    I was able to review my moves
    from a new perspective.
[10:17] Hajime
    I didn't know I had so many quirks
    and wasteful motions in my fighting.
[10:22] Fake Hajime
    You fixed them while fighting?!
[10:26] Fake Hajime
    Impossible.
[10:28] Fake Hajime
    Who would have thought that
    someone would surpass this test,
[10:31] Fake Hajime
    without overcoming their weakness,
    purely by force.
[10:35] Fake Hajime
    If you at least got unsettled by this,
    I had a fighting chance.
[10:40] Hajime
    Don't be stupid. You never had a chance.
[10:44] Hajime
    A fake is a fake, after all.
[10:46] Hajime
    I'll crush you and your annoying face.
[10:51] Fake Hajime
    You're saying that
    to yourself, you know that?
[11:33] Hajime
    No matter what the path, I'll cling to it.
[11:48] Shizuku
    Kaori?
[11:53] Shizuku
    Nagumo-kun.
[12:00] Shizuku
    I'm... I'm fine.
[12:15] Shizuku
    Is... Is someone there?
[12:20] Fake Shizuku
    Welcome, me.
[12:24] Shizuku
    W-What... Why are you here? You're my...
[12:29] Fake Shizuku
    Your dream, perhaps?
[12:42] Fake Shizuku
    Ready yourself, me.
[12:45] Fake Shizuku
    Otherwise, this would be
    over really quickly.
[12:50] Shizuku
    So, that's how it is.
[12:52] Shizuku
    You're a test, a test for me to overcome!
[12:57] Fake Shizuku
    Too slow.
[13:03] Fake Shizuku
    Shock Slugger.
[13:08] Fake Shizuku
    That's it for the greetings.
    Your dreamy phase ends here.
[13:16] Fake Shizuku
    This is real. My reality.
[13:20] Fake Shizuku
    Resist me, if you can.
[13:22] Fake Shizuku
    Slice through me, with that
    sharpened blade of yours.
[13:26] Fake Shizuku
    Otherwise, perish here.
[13:45] Fake Shizuku
    Flash Blitz!
[13:47] Shizuku
    Flash Blitz!
[13:49] Fake Shizuku
    So, are you going to
    keep looking away like that?
[13:53] Shizuku
    What...
[13:58] Fake Shizuku
    How shameful!
[14:03] Fake Shizuku
    Your moves are becoming less precise.
[14:11] Shizuku
    Shock Slugger!
[14:22] Fake Shizuku
    You should thank him for his gift.
[14:25] Fake Shizuku
    Without it, you would have
    died like seven times by now.
[14:30] Fake Shizuku
    Does it hurt? Are you suffering?
    Scared? Want to cry?
[14:35] Fake Shizuku
    There's no need to hide it.
[14:38] Fake Shizuku
    I'm you, so I already know
    everything. Yes, everything.
[14:41] Fake Shizuku
    I didn't really want to learn swordsmanship.
[14:46] Fake Shizuku
    I wanted to wear pretty dresses
    with frills and stuff,
[14:51] Fake Shizuku
    not traditional Japanese dresses
    or martial arts uniforms.
[14:55] Fake Shizuku
    I didn't want a new bamboo sword.
[14:57] Fake Shizuku
    I wanted cute dolls and accessories.
[15:02] Shizuku
    Shut up.
[15:05] Fake Shizuku
    When Kouki joined the dojo,
    I thought a prince had come to save me.
[15:11] Fake Shizuku
    He can turn me into a girl,
    protect me, spoil me.
[15:18] Fake Shizuku
    That's what I believed. But... right?
[15:21] Shizuku
    Shut up.
[15:23] Fake Shizuku
    The only thing Kouki brought
    was jealousy of me.
[15:28] Fake Shizuku
    I guess the girls couldn't
    accept me being around Kouki.
[15:33] Fake Shizuku
    I do remember that one
    phrase quite clearly.
[15:38] Fake Shizuku
    The thing that girl who liked Kouki said.
[15:44] Fake Shizuku
    Oh, you were a girl?
[15:49] Fake Shizuku
    That was a shocker, wasn't it?
[15:51] Shizuku
    Silence!
[16:07] Fake Shizuku
    There's no need to stand up anymore.
[16:10] Fake Shizuku
    If you give up now, I won't take your life.
[16:14] Fake Shizuku
    Even if you quit here, I'm sure
    someone will take care of everything.
[16:19] Fake Shizuku
    Now sleep.
[16:22] Shizuku
    What are you...
[16:25] Fake Shizuku
    Just offering choices.
    Give up and sleep, or...
[16:29] Fake Shizuku
    Keep fighting, suffer, and die.
[16:40] Fake Shizuku
    Yeah.
[16:41] Fake Shizuku
    That's right. You would
    get up, wouldn't you?
[16:47] Shizuku
    Fly, Severance!
[16:53] Shizuku
    Blah, blah! Enough already!
[16:56] Shizuku
    I won't play along with your mind games!
[16:58] Fake Shizuku
    Mind games, huh?
[17:00] Fake Shizuku
    So, you absolutely refuse
    to accept your emotions.
[17:03] Fake Shizuku
    You're going to keep being stubborn,
    silencing those around you with force,
[17:07] Fake Shizuku
    always looking after someone else.
[17:10] Fake Shizuku
    Not even aware that you're the one
    that wants someone to lean on.
[17:15] Shizuku
    I said shut up! Don't you understand?!
[17:23] Fake Shizuku
    You were the same
    when you came to this world.
[17:26] Fake Shizuku
    You were actually full of anxiety.
[17:30] Fake Shizuku
    When Nagumo-kun fell into the abyss,
    when you felt that real sense of death.
[17:36] Fake Shizuku
    Ever since that moment, you've been
    afraid of death, terrified of killing.
[18:03] Fake Shizuku
    You were so happy that time, weren't you?
[18:08] Fake Shizuku
    That time in the Great Orcus Labyrinth,
    when Nagumo-kun came to save you.
[18:13] Fake Shizuku
    You remember.
[18:15] Fake Shizuku
    It was the most dramatic
    moment of your life,
[18:18] Fake Shizuku
    of course you can't forget.
[18:20] Shizuku
    What are you talking about?
[18:22] Fake Shizuku
    In that moment, you truly gave up.
[18:26] Fake Shizuku
    You honestly accepted your untimely demise.
[18:28] Fake Shizuku
    That's why that crimson spark,
    the large silhouette,
[18:32] Fake Shizuku
    and the awesome power mesmerized you.
[18:36] Shizuku
    N-No...
[18:38] Fake Shizuku
    The same thing happened
    when Kaori got killed.
[18:40] Fake Shizuku
    When you grabbed hold of Nagumo-kun,
    he told you to trust him and wait.
[18:47] Fake Shizuku
    And he really delivered.
[18:50] Fake Shizuku
    Just like you believed,
[18:52] Fake Shizuku
    he saved your best friend,
    your childhood friend, and your own heart.
[18:57] Fake Shizuku
    You tried to look away, and never admit it.
[19:00] Fake Shizuku
    But there's no way to hide it now.
[19:05] Shizuku
    No, that's not true. I'm—
[19:08] Fake Shizuku
    I'm...
[19:17] Fake Shizuku
    I'm in love with Nagumo-kun.
[19:22] Fake Shizuku
    You fell in love with your best
    friend's most beloved person.
[19:31] Fake Shizuku
    You traitor.
[19:43] Fake Shizuku
    And you attacked Shea, didn't you?
[19:46] Fake Shizuku
    Why was that?
[19:48] Fake Shizuku
    Why not Yue, not Kaori, but Shea?
[19:53] Shizuku
    I'm...
[19:56] Fake Shizuku
    It's simple.
[19:58] Fake Shizuku
    You know you can't beat Yue.
[20:01] Fake Shizuku
    You don't want to point
    your jealousy toward Kaori.
[20:05] Fake Shizuku
    That's why you chose Shea to target,
[20:08] Fake Shizuku
    the one who only most
    recently became his lover,
[20:10] Fake Shizuku
    the one easiest to be jealous of.
[20:14] Fake Shizuku
    What a coward.
[20:30] Fake Shizuku
    Your silly life where you keep
    drawing the short straw is now over.
[20:36] Fake Shizuku
    You ended up this way
    because you kept killing yourself.
[20:40] Fake Shizuku
    I'm such an idiot.
[20:44] Fake Shizuku
    Any last words to leave behind?
[20:58] Shizuku
    I...
[21:00] Shizuku
    I don't want to die.
[21:09] Shizuku
    Help...
[21:12] Shizuku
    Help me, someone.
[21:18] Fake Shizuku
    Too bad. Too late.
[21:21] Fake Shizuku
    Those words should have come sooner.
[21:34] Fake Shizuku
    That's impossible.
[21:42] Hajime
    What kind of timing is this?
[21:44] Hajime
    I hope the labyrinth
    didn't do this on purpose.
[21:53] Hajime
    Damn, you're all beat up.
[21:57] Shizuku
    N-Nagumo-kun?
