**[00:10] ---**
I can only see a few of\nthe students from this angle.\n
**[00:16] ---**
Gotta love the face of a\njunior-high student in pain...\n
**[00:21] ---**
Once I get that ten billion yen,\n
**[00:25] ---**
I might just buy a bunch of 'em and\nforce-feed 'em that virus every day.\n
**[00:49] ---**
Fourteen--no, fifteen of them.\n
**[00:54] ---**
Judging by their breathing,\nthey're young, most in their mid-teens.\n
**[00:57] ---**
Who'da thunk it?\n
**[00:59] ---**
Everyone who could still\nmove actually made it here.\n
**[01:04] ---**
Just so you know,\n
**[01:06] ---**
this hall is completely soundproof.\n
**[01:08] ---**
I'll have shot you all dead\nbefore anyone comes to save you.\n
**[01:12] ---**
You know you're not prepared to kill anyone!\n
**[01:15] ---**
Now come on out like good little children\n
**[01:17] ---**
and bow before the boss--\n
**[01:19] ---**
Missed! And I was aiming for the gun!\n
**[01:22] ---**
Live ammo? And from the sounds of it...\n
**[01:25] ---**
Did they take our goons' Model 60s?!\n
**[01:29] ---**
Junior-high kids trained for assassination...\n
**[01:32] ---**
Excellent.\n
**[01:38] ---**
Finally, a job I can sink my teeth into!\n
**[01:43] ---**
*Stand up, bow, lock on! *
**[01:45] ---**
*Stand up, bow, lock on! Oh, yeah *
**[01:51] ---**
*Sensei! Target on *
**[01:54] ---**
*The more the potential, the bigger the hassle *
**[01:59] ---**
*Our dropout mentality goes beyond the extraordinary *
**[02:04] ---**
*We looked like we were nodding off, hidden knives in hand *
**[02:12] ---**
*Stand up, bow, lock on! *
**[02:14] ---**
*Let it go and someone's sure to take care of it *
**[02:20] ---**
*We thought it was someone else's problem... and yet *
**[02:28] ---**
*Mr. Teacher, tell us *
**[02:30] ---**
*Will we, still incomplete *
**[02:33] ---**
*Be able to shoot through *
**[02:36] ---**
*The invincible target that's you? *
**[02:39] ---**
*As long as we keep trying, the odds are 50/50 *
**[02:44] ---**
*Mr. Teacher, look at us *
**[02:46] ---**
*Lost in so many ways *
**[02:49] ---**
*For you more than anyone else *
**[02:52] ---**
*Studying like a house on fire *
**[02:54] ---**
*Our bloodlust alone is our message to you *
**[02:59] ---**
*A self- (let's go) reliant (all out) *
**[03:02] ---**
*Revolution *
**[03:05] ---**
*Oh, yeah! Sensei! Target on *
**[03:12] ---**
"Episode 21: XX Time"\n
**[03:18] ---**
So bright!\n
**[03:20] ---**
Can't see the stage with that backlight!\n
**[03:22] ---**
Feelin' fine again today,\nwith my tasty, tasty gun!\n
**[03:26] ---**
H-He fired through that tiny gap?\n
**[03:29] ---**
I never forget the position of\nan enemy once they've fired.\n
**[03:32] ---**
Used to be an army man.\n
**[03:34] ---**
All that experience taught me\nhow to pinpoint my enemy's location\n
**[03:38] ---**
and the sensation of\nchecking my guns by taste.\n
**[03:42] ---**
Now, then... there should be\none more stolen gun out there.\n
**[03:48] ---**
Hayami! Remain standing by!\n
**[03:51] ---**
You were wise not to fire just now, Chiba!\n
**[03:54] ---**
The enemy still doesn't know where you are!\n
**[03:56] ---**
I'll keep an eye on him and tell you when,\n
**[03:58] ---**
so hang tight until it's go time!\n
**[04:02] ---**
Where's that coming from?\n
**[04:05] ---**
Hey! Quit starin' at me from the front row!\n
**[04:11] ---**
An expert gunman versus\njunior-high students?\n
**[04:14] ---**
This much of a sight advantage\nshould be all right.\n
**[04:17] ---**
Okay, Kimura, run five seats left!\n
**[04:20] ---**
Terasaka and Yoshida,\nmove three seats to either side!\n
**[04:23] ---**
We've made a blind spot!\n
**[04:24] ---**
Kayano, move two rows forward into this gap!\n
**[04:26] ---**
Karma and Fuwa, move eight seats right!\n
**[04:29] ---**
Isogai! Five seats left!\n
**[04:30] ---**
He's shuffling them around?\nBastard's making it complicated!\n
**[04:34] ---**
And yet,\n
**[04:35] ---**
he's telling me their names and\npositions with every command.\n
**[04:39] ---**
I'll have 'em memorized in no time.\n
**[04:42] ---**
Student number 12!\n
**[04:44] ---**
Move right and continue preparations!\n
**[04:45] ---**
Numbers 4 and 5, film the target\nfrom between the seats!\n
**[04:48] ---**
Use Ritsu to tell Chiba\nwhat's going on onstage!\n
**[04:52] ---**
Ponytail, move to the front-left!\n
**[04:54] ---**
Motorcycle Fan, you too--\ntwo seats to the front-left.\n
**[04:57] ---**
The person who out of curiosity\nwent to Takebayashi's top maid café\n
**[04:59] ---**
and was alarmed to find he liked it,\n
**[05:01] ---**
make a big racket to confuse the enemy!\n
**[05:03] ---**
Shaddup! How the hell did you know I went?!\n
**[05:07] ---**
Now I have no idea where anyone is!\n
**[05:09] ---**
Okay, Chiba, it's time.\n
**[05:13] ---**
After I give this next command, fire at will.\n
**[05:16] ---**
Argh! Where are you, dammit?!\n
**[05:18] ---**
Hayami, you're on follow-up\nas the situation requires.\n
**[05:21] ---**
You're looking to block off\nthe enemy's movements.\n
**[05:23] ---**
But before that, a word of advice for the two\n
**[05:27] ---**
who don't let their feelings show:\n
**[05:31] ---**
When you failed at shooting me earlier today,\n
**[05:35] ---**
you began to doubt your own skill.\n
**[05:38] ---**
You don't whine or make excuses,\n
**[05:41] ---**
and your classmates forced\ntheir confidence onto you,\n
**[05:43] ---**
thinking, "Surely *they* can handle it."
**[05:46] ---**
No one would notice your anguish.\n
**[05:49] ---**
For someone with these grades,\nyou're pretty nonchalant!\n
**[05:52] ---**
I was a fool to believe in you!\n
**[05:56] ---**
He won't even make any excuses.\nI have no idea what he's thinking!\n
**[06:02] ---**
But it's all right.\n
**[06:04] ---**
You don't have to bear all that pressure alone.\n
**[06:08] ---**
If you two miss, we'll switch over to a strategy\n
**[06:10] ---**
of shuffling people and guns around\n
**[06:12] ---**
so no one can tell who's pulling the trigger.\n
**[06:16] ---**
We can use that strategy\nbecause everyone here\n
**[06:19] ---**
has gone through training and tasted failure.\n
**[06:21] ---**
You have allies at your side\nwho share your experience.\n
**[06:26] ---**
So with that peace of mind, go ahead and fire.\n
**[06:31] ---**
Heh. Thanks for that.\n
**[06:34] ---**
That little speech gave me\nenough time to figure this out.\n
**[06:38] ---**
Student number 12 is the\nonly one who hasn't moved.\n
**[06:43] ---**
And yet they're breathing heavily,\nlike they're planning something.\n
**[06:47] ---**
The second someone pops up\nin that area, I'll shoot to kill.\n
**[06:52] ---**
All right: here we go!\n
**[06:55] ---**
It tastes divine!\n
**[06:56] ---**
Right now I'm one with my gun...\nand I don't plan on missing!\n
**[07:00] ---**
Student number 12! Stand and fire!\n
**[07:03] ---**
Bingo!\n
**[07:08] ---**
A dummy?!\n
**[07:09] ---**
That's where you'll want to aim!\n
**[07:11] ---**
Okay.\n
**[07:22] ---**
You missed. Now I know\nwhere the second one--\n
**[07:28] ---**
Th-They aimed for the brackets...\n
**[07:30] ---**
on the stage lights...?\n
**[07:34] ---**
Damn it all!\n
**[07:41] ---**
Phew. Finally hit the mark.\n
**[07:46] ---**
All right, tape 'im up!\n
**[07:48] ---**
Making this in complete silence\ntakes a lot out of you!\n
**[07:51] ---**
That was a real white-knuckle moment.\n
**[07:53] ---**
Great job handling that dangerous fight.\n
**[07:56] ---**
Every human being has\na number of opportunities\n
**[07:58] ---**
to break out of their shell and grow.\n
**[08:02] ---**
But they can't make the most of\nthose opportunities on their own.\n
**[08:06] ---**
They need tough foes who call on\ntheir powers of concentration\n
**[08:08] ---**
and allies with whom to\nshare their experiences.\n
**[08:12] ---**
And so, I want to be a teacher\nwho can provide these things.\n
**[08:15] ---**
To give my students\nhigh walls and good friends\n
**[08:18] ---**
without losing sight of\ntheir moments of growth.\n
**[08:22] ---**
What an education.\n
**[08:24] ---**
They've just had a shoot-out\nwith their lives on the line...\n
**[08:29] ---**
...yet their expressions look more\nlike junior-high students' now.\n
**[08:43] ---**
I seem to be mostly moving again.\n
**[08:46] ---**
Figure I'm at about half strength.\n
**[08:49] ---**
That's still twice as strong as us.\n
**[08:52] ---**
He should have just gone in alone.\n
**[08:57] ---**
So that leads to the top floor.\n
**[09:00] ---**
Yeah...\n
**[09:01] ---**
We're out of time.\n
**[09:02] ---**
Students!\n
**[09:04] ---**
I've come to realize something\nabout our mastermind waiting above:\n
**[09:09] ---**
He's using assassins all wrong.\n
**[09:12] ---**
What?\n
**[09:13] ---**
Lookouts and guards--\nthose aren't jobs for assassins.\n
**[09:17] ---**
If their potential had been used to the fullest,\n
**[09:20] ---**
they'd have been fearsome indeed.\n
**[09:21] ---**
It's true he wasn't even a single\ncentimeter off the mark...\n
**[09:26] ---**
And Karma--if that fellow had\nsneaked up on you from behind\n
**[09:28] ---**
on any other day,\n
**[09:30] ---**
his grip strength would\nhave killed you instantly.\n
**[09:33] ---**
I suppose so.\n
**[09:34] ---**
So it's true...\n
**[09:35] ---**
Our mastermind isn't an assassin after all.\n
**[09:39] ---**
Time to assign roles to each of you.\n
**[09:41] ---**
First off...\n
**[09:42] ---**
--Isogai, Terasaka, Yoshida:\n--Nagisa?\n
**[09:45] ---**
--I'd like you three to...\n--You're burning up, Terasaka. Are you...\n
**[09:48] ---**
infec--\n
**[09:49] ---**
Keep it down! I got stamina to spare here--\n
**[09:53] ---**
this'll go away by itself in no time!\n
**[09:56] ---**
That's crazy talk!\n
**[09:57] ---**
That damn Karasuma only got gassed\n
**[10:00] ---**
'cause I had to go and run ahead when I did.\n
**[10:03] ---**
And that's not the first time my actions\nalmost got everyone killed.\n
**[10:09] ---**
I ain't about to drop out now and\ndrag everyone down even more!\n
**[10:14] ---**
--Terasaka...\n--Commence operation!\n
**[10:15] ---**
C'mon!\n
**[10:33] ---**
Ooh, *Namba*!
**[10:35] ---**
Supposedly ninjas used this walking style.\n
**[10:38] ---**
No wonder there've been so\nmany more silent assassinations\n
**[10:41] ---**
in our classroom lately!\n
**[10:43] ---**
Despite the time crunch,\nthey refuse to panic or get pessimistic.\n
**[10:48] ---**
I'm so proud of these students of mine.\n
**[10:51] ---**
All the more reason we must not\ngive in to the enemy before us.\n
**[10:56] ---**
I'm betting that's the virus remedy.\nAnd those wires...\n
**[11:01] ---**
They lead to a plastic explosive.\n
**[11:04] ---**
We're right on time.\n
**[11:06] ---**
Ideally we'll be able to subdue him.\n
**[11:09] ---**
If he sees us, I'll take\nresponsibility and shoot his arm.\n
**[11:13] ---**
He won't be able to push that detonator...\n
**[11:15] ---**
and that's when we all rush in and grab him!\n
**[11:25] ---**
--Now!\n--Itchy.\n
**[11:29] ---**
The very memory makes me itch.\n
**[11:32] ---**
But maybe that's why my senses\nhave grown so much keener:\n
**[11:36] ---**
because my wounds are\nalways exposed to the air.\n
**[11:42] ---**
I told you--I'd come prepared\nto kill a Mach-20 monster.\n
**[11:48] ---**
I have spare detonator remotes\nin case one is snatched away\n
**[11:51] ---**
at high speed.\n
**[11:53] ---**
Enough to press any one of them\nif I happen to collapse.\n
**[11:57] ---**
We'd heard that voice before...\nbut this time, it was far more sinister.\n
**[12:03] ---**
Of the people I couldn't reach,\nthere were three assassins\n
**[12:07] ---**
and one other.\n
**[12:08] ---**
An insider who vanished with\nMinistry of Defense secret-service funds\n
**[12:12] ---**
and the assassination budget.\n
**[12:15] ---**
What do you think you're doing,\n
**[12:17] ---**
Takaoka?\n
**[12:20] ---**
"Episode 21: Takaoka Time"\n
**[12:26] ---**
What naughty children.\n
**[12:28] ---**
Coming in the back door\nto see your dear teacher?\n
**[12:31] ---**
That's not how your good old dad raised you.\n
**[12:35] ---**
Ah, well. I'll have to give you\nsome summertime tutoring.\n
**[12:41] ---**
Mr. Taka... oka...\n
**[12:45] ---**
Shall we go to the roof?\n
**[12:47] ---**
I've got everything ready to\nwelcome my beloved students.\n
**[12:52] ---**
You'll follow me up there, right?\n
**[12:54] ---**
After all, your class is only alive\nthanks to my benevolence.\n
**[13:06] ---**
Hiring assassins, threatening students\nwith a virus--such atrocities...\n
**[13:11] ---**
Have you gone mad?\n
**[13:12] ---**
Now, now--I am exceedingly sane!\nThis plan will save the world!\n
**[13:20] ---**
If only you'd sent those two littl'uns along\n
**[13:22] ---**
to bring me the one with the bounty,\n
**[13:24] ---**
my assassination plan would've\ngone off without a hitch.\n
**[13:29] ---**
See, my plan would've used\nWhatsername, Kayano? The girl.\n
**[13:36] ---**
The bathtub in my room here\nis filled with anti-Sensei BB's.\n
**[13:41] ---**
I'd have her go in there holding the target.\n
**[13:45] ---**
Then I'd bury them alive in cement.\n
**[13:48] ---**
For him to return to his usual form\nwithout touching those BB's,\n
**[13:52] ---**
he would have to blow everything up--\nincluding his student.\n
**[13:57] ---**
But he cares too much for his students\nto do anything so heartless!\n
**[14:01] ---**
So I figure he'd just do\nme a favor and melt away.\n
**[14:07] ---**
He's...\n
**[14:08] ---**
He's a demon!\n
**[14:11] ---**
It gave me a fright when I learned\nyou all came here together,\n
**[14:15] ---**
but it doesn't much change what I have to do.\n
**[14:18] ---**
My mood will determine how\nmany of you leave here alive.\n
**[14:24] ---**
Do you think you can get away with this?\n
**[14:28] ---**
It's the more humane route...\n
**[14:31] ---**
compared to the inhumane\nway you've treated me!\n
**[14:37] ---**
Takaoka lost to a bunch of junior-high kids\n
**[14:40] ---**
and totally blew his mission!\n
**[14:42] ---**
Whoa! And after he was bragging\nabout his teaching chops?\n
**[14:48] ---**
His bosses won't think much of him now!\n
**[14:51] ---**
Their humiliating glances and\nthe knife you tricked me with...\n
**[14:56] ---**
Whenever they cross my mind,\nmy face gets so itchy\n
**[15:00] ---**
I can't even sleep at night!\n
**[15:03] ---**
I'll pay back my bad evaluations with results.\n
**[15:05] ---**
I'll take the humiliation I suffered\nand give it back in spades!\n
**[15:08] ---**
You in particular, Nagisa Shiota.\n
**[15:11] ---**
I will *never* forgive you for spoiling my future!
**[15:15] ---**
So in asking for the shortest students,\nhe was going after Nagisa.\n
**[15:19] ---**
A completely unjustified grudge!\n
**[15:21] ---**
Huh! You wanted Nagisa here\nso you could settle the score?\n
**[15:26] ---**
Would that make you happy, beating him?\nGiven the size difference?\n
**[15:30] ---**
I could show you a much better time.\n
**[15:33] ---**
You're nuts. You only lost to\nNagisa by your own damn rules!\n
**[15:39] ---**
Listen, whether you'd won or lost back then,\n
**[15:43] ---**
we'd still hate your guts!\n
**[15:46] ---**
I don't remember asking for\nyou blockheads' opinions!\n
**[15:49] ---**
Don't forget that I can get rid of\nhalf of you with just one finger!\n
**[15:56] ---**
You. Shrimp.\n
**[15:58] ---**
Come upstairs alone. To the heliport.\n
**[16:02] ---**
Nagisa, you can't!\n
**[16:07] ---**
I don't want to... but I will.\n
**[16:10] ---**
Get a move on! Now!\n
**[16:11] ---**
He's so agitated, who knows what he'll do.\n
**[16:14] ---**
I'll hear him out, talk him down,\n
**[16:17] ---**
and get him to hand over\nthe remedy in one piece.\n
**[16:21] ---**
Nagisa...\n
**[16:23] ---**
Nagisa...\n
**[16:55] ---**
Takaoka!\n
**[16:55] ---**
Oh--don't take this the wrong way.\n
**[16:58] ---**
I don't want you interrupting my\nprecious time with Nagisa Shiota.\n
**[17:20] ---**
Now no one else can come up here.\n
**[17:23] ---**
Do you understand what I'm trying to do?\n
**[17:26] ---**
This is revenge for our earlier fight.\n
**[17:30] ---**
Wait, Mr. Takaoka.\nI didn't come here to fight.\n
**[17:33] ---**
I'm sure.\n
**[17:35] ---**
Those dirty tricks won't work anymore.\n
**[17:38] ---**
I can see myself doing you in, just like that.\n
**[17:43] ---**
But it'll be over too quickly\nto make me feel better.\n
**[17:48] ---**
So before we fight, there's\nsomething I need you to do.\n
**[17:55] ---**
Apologize. On your hands and knees.\n
**[17:59] ---**
Atone wholeheartedly for having\npulled a dirty sneak attack\n
**[18:02] ---**
because you lack any real skill.\n
**[18:13] ---**
I--\n
**[18:14] ---**
You call that on your hands\nand knees, you rotten brat?!\n
**[18:18] ---**
Head on the ground, boy!\n
**[18:31] ---**
I have no real skill, so I pulled\na dirty sneak attack. I'm sorry.\n
**[18:40] ---**
Oh, and after that you talked\nback to me, told me to get out.\n
**[18:47] ---**
Is that any way for a brat\nlike you to talk to an adult?\n
**[18:50] ---**
Is that any way for a student\nto talk to his teacher?!\n
**[18:54] ---**
I'm just a brat and a student,\n
**[18:56] ---**
and it was wrong for me to\ntalk back to an adult, a teacher.\n
**[19:02] ---**
I'm very sorry.\n
**[19:07] ---**
*Now* you're speaking from the heart. Your dear old dad is so pleased!
**[19:12] ---**
As a reward, I'll let you\nin on a little something.\n
**[19:16] ---**
I asked Smog what happens to\nthe people who die from that virus.\n
**[19:19] ---**
He showed me some pictures. What a laugh!\n
**[19:22] ---**
Their bodies, covered in boils!\nFaces like bunches of grapes!\n
**[19:28] ---**
Wouldn't you like to see that, Nagisa?\n
**[19:32] ---**
No!\n
**[20:07] ---**
Yes!\n
**[20:08] ---**
*That's* the face I wanted to see!
**[20:11] ---**
You ought to put it in your summer diary--\n
**[20:13] ---**
your friends' faces,\nbubbling up like so many grapes!\n
**[21:06] ---**
I'll... kill you...\n
**[21:14] ---**
That's right... that's the way...\n
**[21:19] ---**
Oh, dear...\n
**[21:21] ---**
I--I'll kill you!\n
**[21:42] ---**
*The sun shines, leaving a red afterimage *
**[21:49] ---**
*On the backs of closed eyelids *
**[21:55] ---**
*With notebook and pen in my leather bag *
**[22:01] ---**
*C'mon, let's go walking *
**[22:06] ---**
*I draw and I draw *
**[22:10] ---**
