**[00:10] Aki**
Looking good.
**[00:11] Aki**
Almost got him...
***SIGN*** Opponent has lost connection.
Please remain on this screen until result is determined.
**[00:16] Aki**
Damn it!
**[00:17] Aki**
They always disconnect the
minute I start dominating.
**[00:20] Aki**
I'll never move up the
leaderboard like this.
**[00:22] Aki**
It might be time to stop playing this game.
***SIGN*** Konpeito
**[00:36] Aki**
Time for school, I guess.

**[00:59] Aki**
"Key"—perfect name for a latchkey kid.
**[01:01] Aki**
Right?
**[01:07] Aki**
*I want to play a game.*
**[01:09] Aki**
*A game to get immersed in, for however long.*
**[01:12] Aki**
*A game to escape this reality of mine.*
**[01:15] A**
Say, isn't that Akira?
**[01:17] A**
Wow. He's even gaming on the walk to school.
**[01:20] A**
He's at it all day *at* school, too.
**[01:23] A**
He never stops during classes or breaks.
**[01:25] B**
But he's always top of the class
on the standardized tests, right?
**[01:29] Aki**
*Getting good grades is easy.*
**[01:31] Aki**
*Formulas, grammar, vocabulary...*
**[01:33] Aki**
* They're just testing how*
* much you can memorize.*
**[01:38] A**
Point is, he's a total weirdo!
**[01:40] B**
Hush! He'll hear you!
**[01:42] Aki**
*I agree with her, honestly.*
**[01:45] Aki**
* They say exams are a battlefield,*
* but they're barely even a competition for me.*
**[01:49] Aki**
*I can't engage with them at all.*
**[01:51] Aki**
*Receive a variety of objectives,*
**[01:54] Aki**
* then beat the enemies*
* or clear the obstacles.*
**[01:56] Aki**
* Games like that are the only*
* things I can really engage with.*
**[02:01] Aki**
* That's why I find my current*
* reality so very bor—*
**[02:10] Driver**
What's your problem, asshole?!
**[02:38] Aki**
*He's only after me?*
**[02:41] Aki**
*What's this guy's problem?*
**[02:42] Aki**
*Should I call the police?*
**[02:44] Aki**
*But I can't do that while I'm fleeing.*
**[02:45] Aki**
*He'll catch me before I shake him off.*
**[02:48] Aki**
*What do I do?*
**[02:49] Aki**
*I need a counter-strategy.*
**[02:52] Aki**
*A counter-strategy... almost like a game.*
**[02:56] Aki**
*That's right.*
**[02:57] Aki**
*The loss condition is, "He catches me."*
**[03:00] Aki**
*And the win condition...*
**[03:02] Aki**
*That's it.*
**[03:03] Aki**
* If I treat it like a game,*
* I'll know just what to do!*
**[03:07] Aki**
* That building would give*
* me the terrain advantage.*
**[03:19] Aki**
* This building was abandoned*
* in the middle of demolition.*
**[03:22] Aki**
*It's been left to the elements, crumbling.*
**[03:24] Aki**
*For a big brute like him...*
**[03:27] Aki**
*It'll take time to make his way up.*
**[03:38] Aki**
*He just jumped it?!*
**[03:39] Aki**
*What a freak.*
**[03:41] Aki**
* I'd better treat this*
* scenario like survival horror.*
**[03:43] Aki**
*I have to anticipate his next move.*
**[03:55] Aki**
Hey! Freak!
**[04:14] Aki**
I did it!
**[04:21] Aki**
He's still not down?!
**[04:26] Aki**
He's coming?
**[04:28] Aki**
With jumping power like his, he'll definitely—
**[04:36] Aki**
*attempt* to jump his way up.
**[04:44] Aki**
With sufficient planning and preparation,
**[04:47] Aki**
any game can be beaten.
**[04:49] Mion**
Congratulations to you, Akira Shiroyanagi!
**[04:52] Mion**
Who'd have believed you'd beat
my little pet and survive?
**[04:59] Aki**
*Who is this woman?*
**[05:01] Aki**
*How long has she—*
**[05:03] Mion**
But I'm sorry to say...
**[05:05] Mion**
Even though you worked so hard...
**[05:08] Mion**
This is what they call...
**[05:09] Mion**
An unwinnable fight.
**[05:20] Aki**
I couldn't... anticipate...
**[05:24] Mion**
What's that?
**[05:25] Aki**
If it's an unwinnable fight...
**[05:27] Aki**
That means... it's not over?
**[05:31] Mion**
Yes.
**[05:32] Mion**
The fun's just getting started,
my sweet prince.
**[05:37] Aki**
*If the game's not over... then...*
**[05:40] Aki**
*That's okay.*
**[05:41] Aki**
*I'll win next time.*
**[05:45] Aki**
*I want to play a game.*
**[05:47] Aki**
*A game to escape this boring reality.*

**[07:41] Aki**
*Where am I?*
**[07:43] Aki**
Handcuffs?
**[07:45] Aki**
Wait, she shot m—
**[07:47] Aki**
I'm fine?
**[07:53] Mion**
Ladies and gentlemen!
**[07:57] Mion**
Hi there!
**[07:58] Mion**
It's a pleasure to meet you all!
**[08:00] Mion**
I'll be serving as your navigator!
**[08:03] Mion**
The beautiful magician, Mion!
**[08:07] Aki**
It's her!
**[08:08] Mion**
Let me start with my congratulations.
**[08:11] Mion**
You've been chosen to serve as our
project's esteemed focus group.
**[08:15] Mion**
I will now explain how it works, with a
few marvelous illusions along the way!
**[08:19] Mion**
First!
**[08:21] Mion**
Everyone here has already been
removed from the national registry.
**[08:26] Mion**
That's right! You're dead
in the eyes of society!
**[08:29] Yuu**
Dead?!
**[08:30] Mion**
So it goes without saying that you
have no rights and no freedom,
**[08:34] Mion**
except what you're allowed
by our rules and directives!
**[08:39] Mion**
Second!
**[08:40] Man**
Hey!
**[08:42] Man**
Let's cut the bullshit already!
**[08:45] Mion**
I *do* appreciate your kind assistance.
**[08:58] Mion**
Behold!
**[08:59] Mion**
That's my bullet-catching trick!
**[09:03] Aki**
So she really can...
**[09:06] Mion**
As you can see, I have the
"turn your hand into a cannon" ability!
**[09:10] Mion**
And if fact, you've all been
gifted similar abilities!
**[09:15] Mion**
In other words, you're our
ability testing focus group!
**[09:22] Mion**
We've taken everything from you
**[09:24] Mion**
and given you a unique ability in exchange!
**[09:27] Mion**
Please use it to its fullest to run the
program we've arranged to completion!
**[09:30] Mion**
But if we determine you useless
for providing product feedback,
**[09:33] Mion**
we'll have to ask you to leave!
**[09:35] Mion**
So *do* take this seriously!
**[09:38] Mion**
Now I'll explain the program's rules.
**[09:41] Mion**
First, those cuffs you're wearing...
**[09:43] Mion**
They both restrict your movement and
prevent the use of your abilities.
**[09:47] Mion**
When the red lights turn green,
**[09:49] Mion**
it means they'll unlock in five seconds,
**[09:51] Mion**
and you can use your abilities then.
**[09:54] Mion**
You won't be penalized
for any harm or death
**[09:58] Mion**
your abilities inflict on
other focus group members.
**[10:01] Mion**
This concludes the program's rules.
**[10:03] Mion**
Any questions? Anyone?
**[10:06] Mion**
I'm under the impression
you enjoy games like this.
**[10:12] Mion**
Any questions from you?
**[10:14] Mion**
Class Representative Ringo Tatara?
**[10:17] Mion**
Won't you be the first with your hand up,
the way you always are at school?
**[10:22] Mion**
Madoka Kirisaki...
**[10:24] Mion**
You're such a delinquent,
**[10:25] Mion**
and this is a lot like a school lecture,
so I guess you might be struggling.
**[10:29] Mion**
I know absolutely everything,
so don't be shy!
**[10:33] Kuma**
I have a question, then.
**[10:35] Mion**
Shin Kumagiri?
**[10:37] Mion**
Ask away!
**[10:38] Kuma**
Who are you people?
**[10:40] Kuma**
What is this place?
**[10:41] Kuma**
Why are you doing this?
**[10:43] Mion**
I'm *so* happy you asked, but unfortunately...
**[10:46] Mion**
None of those are questions I can answer!
**[10:50] Kuma**
Then I'll ask one more.
**[10:52] Kuma**
Why did you kill that man?
**[10:54] Kuma**
With power like yours,
**[10:55] Kuma**
you could have easily
stopped him non-fatally.
**[10:58] Mion**
I know all about you, too,
**[11:01] Mion**
so I know that you're a really good person.
**[11:04] Mion**
But I killed that man because
I'm a really *bad* person.
**[11:07] Mion**
Does that answer your question?
**[11:08] Kuma**
You—
**[11:10] Rin**
It's thoroughly understandable.
**[11:12] Rin**
We're all dead already anyway.
**[11:15] Rin**
I'd bet you had that little magic
show planned from the start...
**[11:18] Rin**
To make a point.
**[11:20] Mion**
My, you're a clever one.
**[11:24] Mion**
Okay! Any other questions?
**[11:28] Yuu**
Um... I have a question.
**[11:30] Mion**
Yuuri Amagake!
**[11:32] Mion**
Go right ahead!
**[11:33] Yuu**
No one else is asking,
so I guess I should...
**[11:37] Yuu**
Why did you choose us?
**[11:40] Yuu**
You seem to have learned all about us.
**[11:43] Yuu**
What were the criteria?
**[11:45] Mion**
What a great question!
**[11:47] Mion**
But you'll find the answer
*pretty* disappointing...
**[11:50] Mion**
We chose you...
**[11:52] Mion**
entirely at random.
**[11:55] Mion**
That should take a weight
off your mind, right?
**[11:57] Mion**
You basically won the lottery!
**[11:58] Mion**
Think of it like a freak
traffic accident that—
**[12:01] Yang**
Miss Mion!
**[12:02] Yang**
I think it's about time.
**[12:04] Mion**
Oh, Yang...
**[12:05] Mion**
Is it time already?
**[12:07] Mion**
The Q&A is over, then.
**[12:09] Yang**
The first program will be one-on-one.
**[12:12] Yang**
A series of simple duels.
**[12:14] Yang**
I'll lead you all to your rooms now.
**[12:17] Yang**
You can take that time to learn
and practice your abilities.
**[12:23] Mion**
And one last reminder...
**[12:27] Mion**
Consider how you should
approach this very carefully.

Oh, Akira...

That same boy again?
**[13:16] Mion**
Oh, yes...
**[13:18] Mion**
He's my personal favorite.
**[13:20] Aki**
*What in the world is this ability?*
**[13:24] Aki**
*How am I supposed to use it?*
***SIGN*** Konpeito
**[13:30] Aki**
Konpeito!
**[13:38] Aki**
The sweetness! It stimulates the brain!
**[13:41] Aki**
I guess they really do know me inside and out.
**[13:47] Aki**
So much about this feels off...
**[13:50] Aki**
That woman's actions, most of all.
**[13:52] Aki**
Yes, it's almost like she...
***SIGN*** Time Until One-on-One 18:41:37
**[13:56] Aki**
Wh-What was that?!
**[13:58] Aki**
*Someone testing their ability?*
**[14:02] Aki**
*That vibration and sound...*
**[14:05] Aki**
* What if someone with a powerful*
* ability tries to kill me?*
**[14:09] Aki**
*How could I use my ability to counter?*
**[14:12] Aki**

* The things she said...*
* The rules laid out...*
**[14:16] Aki**
*From the start...*
**[14:19] Aki**
*She's been baiting us into killing each other.*
**[14:24] Aki**
*An ability focus group? That's absurd.*
**[14:28] Aki**
*But interesting.*
**[14:30] Aki**
*Maybe I'll give it my best shot.*
**[14:34] Mion**
It's really coming together, Yang.
**[14:36] Mion**
Such an excellent group.
**[14:38] Mion**
They'll realize it soon, too...
**[14:41] Mion**
How they should behave, when all
they have is their ability.
**[14:46] Mion**
Now, let's begin!
**[14:49] Mion**
First program!
**[14:50] Mion**
One-on-one!
**[14:58] Kiri**
Heya.
**[14:59] Kiri**
Surprised you too, huh?
**[15:02] Kiri**
I just don't get it.
**[15:04] Aki**
*Is he my opponent?*
**[15:06] Kiri**
I always hated school.
**[15:10] Aki**
It's him... the one who
struggles with school stuff.
**[15:12] Kiri**
But it is what it is.
**[15:14] Kiri**
Just surrender the second
the battle starts, kid.
**[15:18] Kiri**
Got it?
**[15:19] Kiri**
I'm gonna win anyway.
**[15:21] Kiri**
That'll save me time and
you a world of pain.
**[15:25] Kiri**
My ability's just a little nasty, see.
**[15:29] Aki**
I'd prefer to see it through, personally.
**[15:32] Kiri**
You've got some backbone, at least.
**[15:34] Ann**
*The first program will now begin.*
**[15:37] Ann**
* Matches can only be resolved*
* through admission of defeat,*
**[15:40] Ann**
*loss of consciousness, or death!*
**[15:42] Ann**
*Please begin!*
**[15:45] Aki**
*The cuffs are about to unlock.*
**[15:47] Aki**
*Once they do, we can use our abilities.*
**[15:49] Aki**
*Which means...*
**[15:51] Aki**
*In five seconds, the battle begins.*
**[15:53] Kiri**
Well, don't say I didn't warn you.
**[16:01] Kiri**
Let's go, freshman!
**[16:03] Aki**
*He turned the stick into a sword!*
**[16:46] Kiri**
What the—
**[16:48] Kiri**
Sorry, kid! Can't fool me!
**[16:52] Kiri**
Just knock it off already!
**[16:55] Kiri**
You've got a nice bag of tricks,
**[16:58] Kiri**
but it's all over now.
**[17:02] Yang**
I wonder why he won't use his ability.
**[17:06] Mion**
It's not time yet.
**[17:08] Kiri**
What is that, a barricade?
**[17:11] Kiri**
Maybe you didn't get a
good fighting ability.
**[17:15] Kiri**
None of us knows what
happens when you lose.
**[17:18] Kiri**
So I get how you feel,
but just surrender already!
**[17:25] Aki**
*That's what I was waiting for.*
**[17:28] Kiri**
You're messing with me.
**[17:30] Kiri**
It's over, kid.
**[17:31] Kiri**
You've run out of tricks.
**[17:34] Kiri**
Look, you got dragged into this, same as I did.
**[17:37] Kiri**
I don't wanna make mincemeat
out of you if I can help it.
**[17:41] Aki**
That's not the reason I'm
not using my ability.
**[17:44] Aki**
It's the opposite, actually.
**[17:47] Mion**
Looks like it's showtime!
**[17:51] Kiri**
The opposite?
**[17:52] Aki**
Yes.
**[17:54] Aki**
I'm hesitant to use my ability
because it's so dangerous.
**[17:58] Kiri**
Hesitant because it's dangerous?
**[18:00] Kiri**
Quit bluffing, man.
**[18:02] Aki**
I'm not bluffing.
**[18:04] Aki**
I think you remember it.
**[18:06] Kiri**
*Remember... what?*
**[18:10] Kiri**
If you won't surrender,
**[18:12] Kiri**
I'll kill you before you can kill me!
**[18:17] Aki**
The illusion...
**[18:20] Aki**
My ability...
**[18:25] Aki**
The "turn your hand into a cannon" ability!
**[18:33] Aki**
*Yes... I think you saw it, too.*
**[18:59] Kiri**
* The "turn your hand into*
* a cannon" ability...*
**[19:02] Kiri**
*That* is *a nasty ability.*
**[19:07] Aki**
*This is how my...*
**[19:10] Aki**
* So the sword reverts to a stick*
* when it leaves his hand?*
**[19:15] Aki**
I guess it's my turn now.
**[19:17] Aki**
You've lost your weapon. You can't win.
**[19:21] Aki**
Surrender.
**[19:23] Aki**
I'll be forced to shoot you otherwise.
**[19:25] Aki**
Well?
**[19:31] Kiri**
You little brat...
**[19:35] Kiri**
Fine.
**[19:37] Kiri**
I lose.
**[19:39] Ann**
*The winner, Akira Shiroyanagi!*
**[19:47] Mion**
Like I said, he's worth watching!
**[19:49] Yang**
Yes... he was impressive.
**[19:52] Mion**
Did you see?
**[19:53] Mion**
He used his ability so well!
**[19:56] Yang**
But why did he wait so long to use it?
**[20:00] Yang**
He could have used that cannon at the start.
**[20:03] Mion**
Did he manage to convince you
the cannon was his ability?
**[20:08] Mion**
He created such an interesting illusion.
**[20:10] Mion**
Akira said the cannon was his ability.
**[20:14] Mion**
But it's not!
**[20:15] Yang**
What? But I saw him use the cannon!
**[20:19] Mion**
That was the illusion.
**[20:21] Mion**
Akira made use...
**[20:26] Mion**
of *me*.

Your ability is

Sophist. "Whatever the other person
thinks your ability is."
**[20:43] Mion**
He needs to arrange the right timing
to voice the ability to his opponent,
**[20:46] Mion**
and create an environment
where they'll believe it.
**[20:51] Mion**
"My ability is 'cannon.'"

He arranged the conditions

Will Mion's training break her?!
**[23:30] Yang**
Please ignore that!
**[23:31] Yang**
What kind of training is that, anyway?

*I made it through that one.*

*The game's just getting started.*
**[00:25] Mion**
That's the sophist I know.
**[00:29] Mion**
It all went just as he planned it.

Isn't that right, Akira?

Mr. Akira Shiroyanagi
Your ability is
"whatever the other person thinks your ability is."
**[00:44] Mion**
Whatever the other person
thinks your ability is.
**[00:49] Mion**
In order to use an ability, you had
to make your opponent picture it.
**[00:55] Aki**
* But if I just describe*
* an ability off the bat,*
**[00:59] Aki**
* an opponent is unlikely*
* to really believe me.*
**[01:01] Mion**
So he had to create circumstances where
the opponent would ask about it.
**[01:06] Aki**
*If I leave any room for doubt, I'm finished.*
**[01:08] Aki**
*I have only one chance to convince him.*
**[01:12] Mion**
He convinced him it might
be a dangerous ability.
**[01:15] Aki**
*And the moment he attacked...*
**[01:17] Mion**
...he spoke the words.
**[01:18] Aki**
*With no time to wonder...*
**[01:19] Mion**
...the image entered his mind.
**[01:21] Aki**
*To concisely...*
**[01:21] Mion**
...effortlessly...

Don't you have work today, Yuuri?
**[03:35] (Flashback) Yuu**
No shifts today.
**[03:37] (Flashback) B**
Wanna hang out, then?
**[03:39] (Flashback) Yuu**
No money.
**[03:40] (Flashback) B**
Huh? You're working so hard you're
even skipping school sometimes!
**[03:43] (Flashback) Yuu**
I'm saving up.

Cheer up, Yuuri!
**[04:07] (Flashback) B**
It just happened to bark, is all.
**[04:08] (Flashback) A**
Just random chance!
**[04:10] (Flashback) Yuu**
Don't talk to me about "it just
happened" and "random chance."
**[04:14] Yuu**
*I hate "random chance."*
**[04:17] Yuu**
*Back then, too...*
**[04:20] Yuu**
* Watching everyone else walk*

**[04:23] Yuu**
*It just really pissed me off.*

*But he turned out to be a stalker perv,*
**[04:34] Yuu**

There's someone I want you to meet.
**[05:00] (Flashback) Man**
Is this the famous daughter?
**[05:04] (Flashback) Mi**
Isn't he wonderful?
**[05:06] (Flashback) Mi**
We just happened to meet at a bar.
**[05:08] (Flashback) Man**
It felt like destiny, though.
**[05:10] Yuu**
*Not again.*
**[05:10] Man**
I never see women as hot as her there.
**[05:12] Yuu**
* The men mom "just happens" to bring*
* home from bars are all the same.*
**[05:17] Yuu**
*I despise them.*
**[05:18] (Flashback) Man**
How can you have such a
grown-up daughter, Minako?
**[05:21] (Flashback) Man**
You've got to be way too young.
**[05:24] (Flashback) Mi**
Oh, you sweet-talker!
**[05:26] (Flashback) Mi**
Oh, Yuuri?
**[05:28] (Flashback) Mi**
He's got a kid, too.
**[05:30] (Flashback) Mi**
She's a girl, like you.
**[05:32] (Flashback) Mi**
You'll look after her now
and again, won't you?
**[05:35] Man**
Hey, what a great idea!
**[05:36] Yuu**
* Because her boyfriend*

We really are connected by

Stop being stupid and get over

**[06:20] (Flashback) Yuu**
I don't give a crap if you kill yourself,

but have the decency to do it
somewhere I won't have to care!
**[06:24] (Flashback) Pri**

You can't really abandon me!

It's like that first time we just
happened to meet, and you saved me.

We chose you...

entirely at random.
**[07:45] Yuu**
"Just happened" to choose me, huh?
**[07:47] Yuu**
How funny.
**[07:49] Yuu**
Actually, it's not funny at all!
**[07:53] Yuu**
Give me a break!
**[07:54] Yuu**
You can't lock me up based on random chance!
**[07:58] Yuu**
Let me out! Let me out!
**[08:00] Yuu**
Let me go home!
**[08:06] Yuu**
I really have to... get home.
**[08:13] Mion**
Isn't she interesting?
**[08:14] Mion**
A very strong candidate!
**[08:16] Mion**
What's her ability?
**[08:18] Yang**
Well, her name is Yuuri Amagake.
**[08:21] Yang**
Her ability is...
**[08:24] Mion**
This ability with that personality?
**[08:28] Mion**
This might be *quite* interesting indeed.
**[08:33] Yuu**
* That's right... I've got one of*
* those ability things too, right?*
**[08:45] Yuu**
What in the world?
**[08:47] Yuu**
What does that mean?
**[08:48] Yuu**
How am I supposed to test it?
**[09:06] Yuu**
No freaking way.
**[09:08] Yuu**
Wow...
**[09:11] Yuu**
I wonder...
**[09:13] Mion**
How very predictable!
**[09:18] Yuu**
Oh, come on!
**[09:19] Yuu**
This stupid ability is totally useless!
**[09:23] Yang**
I hope she didn't think we'd give her
an ability that would let her escape.
**[09:32] Yuu**
*This is always how it is for me.*
**[09:34] Yuu**
*Nothing ever goes my way.*
**[09:38] (Flashback) Yuu**
I'm back!
**[09:42] Yuu**
* My secret stash is almost to*

**[09:47] Yuu**
* Almost enough to ditch this place*
* and make a life on my own.*
**[09:53] (Flashback) Yuu**
Who's there?
**[09:58] (Flashback) Rir**
Riria...
**[10:00] Yuu**
*Oh, Mom's new boyfriend's kid.*
**[10:04] (Flashback) Rir**
Um... they told me to stay here with you.
**[10:08] (Flashback) Yuu**
Oh, yeah?
**[10:09] (Flashback) Yuu**
When'd they go out?
**[10:11] (Flashback) Rir**
Dunno. This morning.
**[10:13] (Flashback) Yuu**
This morning?
**[10:15] (Flashback) Yuu**
What did you have for breakfast?
**[10:28] (Flashback) Yuu**
Hey, c'mon. Take it easy there!
**[10:41] (Flashback) Rir**
Th-Thank you very much.
**[10:43] (Flashback) Yuu**
You've got good manners
for such a little kid.
**[10:46] (Flashback) Rir**
And you're a really good cook.
**[10:48] (Flashback) Yuu**
You think so?
**[10:49] (Flashback) Yuu**
I've been cooking since
I was little and all.

I dunno when the old m—

*I ended up looking after her after all.*

*What's wrong with me?*
**[11:14] Yuu**
*Well, they'll break up soon enough.*
**[11:17] Yuu**
*I can tolerate it until then.*

I'm... sorry.

Mama! Mama!

Don't cry!
**[12:01] (Flashback) Yuu**
You still have me!
**[12:04] (Flashback) Mi**
Of course I do, Yuuri.
**[12:06] (Flashback) Mi**
I have you.
**[12:10] (Flashback) Mi**
And because I had you...
**[12:12] (Flashback) Mi**
Because I *just happened* to
have you with that man...
**[12:16] (Flashback) Mi**
My entire life was ruined!
**[12:23] Nar**

*But now...*
**[12:56] Kir**
It was Yuuri, wasn't it?
**[13:01] Kir**
At first, I cursed my fate, thinking
I'd been cast into hell.
**[13:05] Kir**
But you've given me reason to hope.
**[13:13] Kir**
I can smell you from here.
**[13:16] Kir**
That smell tells me...

You're a virgin, aren't you, Yuuri?

Wh-Who the hell is this guy?

*Five-on-five team battles!*

Team battles?
**[00:08] Ann**
*We'll escort you to the venue in two hours.*
**[00:13] Yuu**
Huh? Is that all?
**[00:15] Kuma**
Briefer than the explanation
we got for the one-on-ones.
**[00:18] Yuu**
What am I supposed to do with
these weirdos for two hours?
**[00:22] Aki**
*I wasn't expecting this so soon.*
**[00:25] Aki**
*Two hours...*
**[00:27] Aki**
* I had guessed that if their goal*
* was to make us kill each other,*
**[00:29] Aki**
*group battles would be inevitable.*
**[00:33] Aki**
* If we want to coordinate, we'll have*
* to reveal our abilities to each other.*

**[02:24] Saw**
Guess we're in this one together, eh?
**[02:28] Saw**
I say we use this time to get to know
each other and cook up a plan!
**[02:31] Yuu**
Sure.
**[02:32] Saw**
So let's start with introductions!
**[02:35] Saw**
The name's Sawatari.
**[02:37] Saw**
The ability is...
**[02:40] Kiri**
A button?
**[02:49] Saw**
Behold!
**[02:50] Saw**
"The ability to turn a button into a rope"!
**[02:55] Yuu**
The hell?
**[02:56] Saw**
I said, "The ability to turn—"
**[02:58] Yuu**
Is that for-real your ability?
**[03:00] Yuu**
That blows! It's a freakin' parlor trick!
**[03:02] Saw**
Oh, shut up!
**[03:04] Saw**
Tell me somethin' I don't already know!
**[03:06] Yuu**
This guy acts like he's hot stuff,
but he's total dead weight.
**[03:09] Saw**
Then how's about you, lady?
**[03:12] Yuu**
Don't call me "lady."
**[03:14] Yuu**
I'm Yuuri Amagake.
**[03:16] Yuu**
My ability is "the ability to
quintuple your physical abilities."
**[03:20] Saw**
That's awesome!
**[03:21] Saw**
How's about you, bud?
**[03:23] Kiri**
Madoka Kirisaki.
**[03:25] Kiri**
"The ability to turn a stick into a sword."
**[03:27] Saw**
Boy, lucky you! You both hit the jackpot!
**[03:31] Saw**
And you, sir?
**[03:33] Kuma**
Kumagiri.
**[03:34] Kuma**
My ability is apparently to become
invincible for two seconds.
**[03:37] Kiri**
Apparently?
**[03:38] Kuma**
That's what the paper said.
**[03:41] Kuma**
But I have no intention of using something
those people planted in me without my consent!
**[03:45] Saw**
Are you a professional
fighter of some kind, sir?
**[03:48] Kuma**
A professional wrestler...
on the outside, at least.
**[03:51] Kiri**
Well, good to have ya.
**[03:53] Saw**
And last but not least...
**[03:56] Aki**
I'm Akira Shiroyanagi.
**[03:57] Aki**
My ability is...
**[03:59] Aki**
*Should I tell my team my real ability?*
**[04:02] Aki**
*The answer: of course not.*
**[04:06] Aki**
The ability to turn my hand into a cannon.
**[04:08] Saw**
The same one as Cannon Lady?!
**[04:10] Saw**
Oh, come on!
**[04:12] Saw**
Why'm I the only one with an iffy ability?
**[04:14] Yuu**
"Iffy"? More like useless.
**[04:16] Yuu**
How'd your one-on-one turn out?
**[04:18] Saw**
How do you think?
With an ability like mine...
**[04:22] Aki**
*If I don't tell them my real ability,*
**[04:24] Aki**
* I'm locked into whatever*
* ability I tell them first.*
**[04:28] Aki**
* It's true that if I revealed*
* my real ability to my team,*
**[04:31] Aki**
* they might be able to help me*
* explore its possibilities.*
**[04:35] Aki**
* But anyone who knows my ability*
* can easily nullify it later.*
**[04:41] Aki**
* In other words, revealing my*
* ability to the wrong person*
**[04:45] Aki**
*could be the death of me.*
**[04:48] Aki**
*It's far too risky.*
**[04:50] Aki**
* If I am going to tell someone,*
* I'll have to choose wisely.*
**[04:55] Saw**
Well, that's introductions out of the way.
**[04:59] Saw**
How's about we show each
other what we can d—
**[05:01] Aki**
Kirisaki.
**[05:02] Aki**
That reminds me. How's your injury?
**[05:04] Yuu**
What're you talking about?
**[05:06] Saw**
Hey, that's right!
**[05:07] Saw**
You two acted like you knew each other.
**[05:10] Kiri**
We fought each other in the one-on-ones.
**[05:12] Saw**
Oh? The old "enemies one day,
allies the next"?
**[05:17] Saw**
And if he's worried about your injuries...
**[05:20] Saw**
I guess you lost, huh, Kirisaki?
**[05:23] Saw**
Don't take it too hard!
**[05:23] Kiri**
Shut your mouth 'fore I murder you!
**[05:25] Kiri**
An' anyway, you lost, too!
**[05:28] Kiri**
They gave me treatment right after.
**[05:31] Kiri**
All just bandages and painkillers, though.
**[05:34] Saw**
Sounds like pretty lousy health care
for such a tight ship.
**[05:38] Kuma**
An indication that they
consider us expendable.
**[05:41] Yuu**
Who *are* these guys, anyway?
**[05:44] Aki**
*Good. I managed to change the subject.*
**[05:44] Sawa**
I'm less worried about the
"who" than the "how"...
**[05:46] Aki**
* I really didn't want to have*
* to demonstrate my ability.*
**[05:48] Sawa**
My last memory before I woke up here was—
**[05:49] Aki**
* There was a chance that it might*
* not actually activate here.*
**[05:54] Aki**
* The biggest question about my "whatever*
* the other person thinks it is" ability...*
**[05:59] Aki**
*What does "the other person" indicate?*
**[06:02] Aki**
* If it can only mean one's*
* obvious enemy in battle,*
**[06:06] Aki**
* it wouldn't activate here,*
* against my teammates.*
**[06:09] Aki**
*A team battle will be my chance to test it,*
**[06:12] Aki**
* but the conditions here aren't*
* right for experimenting.*
**[06:16] Aki**
*In that respect, I'm glad that man's here.*
**[06:19] Aki**
* Frivolous enough to reveal*
* his ability off the bat,*
**[06:22] Aki**
* while naturally falling into*
* a "group host" role.*
**[06:24] Aki**
*He's taking the attention off of me.*
**[06:28] Aki**
*It's almost time.*
**[06:30] Aki**
* I'd like to get a grasp of the others'*
* abilities and concoct a plan.*
**[06:35] Aki**
Excuse me, Amagake.
**[06:37] Yuu**
"Yuuri."
**[06:38] Yuu**
Amagake's an ugly name, and I hate it.
**[06:41] Yuu**
Just call me Yuuri.
**[06:43] Aki**
O-Okay.
**[06:44] Aki**
Well, Yuuri...
**[06:45] Aki**
I expect you'll be the key
to the upcoming battle.
**[06:49] Aki**
How high can you jump with your ability?
**[06:52] Yuu**
Jump?
**[06:53] Aki**
Could you show us?
**[06:54] Yuu**
Well, okay...
**[06:56] Aki**
Just a little one.
**[06:57] Yuu**
A little one, huh?
**[07:00] Kiri**
*Hang on. If she jumps here—*
**[07:07] Kiri**
*Yeah, called it.*
**[07:10] Aki**
* She reached the ceiling effortlessly?*
* Her ability is—*
**[07:15] Yuu**
Y-You tricked me, you stupid perverts!
**[07:18] Aki**
What the—
**[07:19] Kiri**
I looked away, man.
**[07:21] Yuu**
But *you* looked, you monkeyman freak!
**[07:23] Yuu**
Hey, big guy! Hold him down!
**[07:25] Saw**
H-Hey, cut it out! We're on the same team!
**[07:27] Yuu**
Shut up, you monkey freak!
**[07:29] Saw**
Cut it out!
**[07:31] Kiri**
Sheesh. Way to waste your
energy before the big match.
**[07:36] Yuu**
Oh, shut up!
**[07:37] Aki**
Look, all I wanted to know was what
"physical abilities" indicated.
**[07:43] Aki**
Does it quintuple muscle strength
without changing your weight?
**[07:46] Aki**
How does that affect your movements?
**[07:48] Aki**
A jump seemed like the
easiest way to test it.
**[07:50] Yuu**
But you looked at my undies.
**[07:52] Aki**
I was looking at the *jump*!
**[07:56] Kiri**
What is it, Pops?
**[07:58] Saw**
In the upcoming team battle...
**[08:00] Saw**
If you get your chance, kill your opponent,
no matter who they are.
**[08:04] Yuu**
Where'd that come from?
**[08:07] Saw**
Remember what Cannon Lady said at the start?
**[08:11] Saw**
There's one rule that all
the programs share...
**[08:14] Saw**
We're not penalized for killing
fellow focus group members.
**[08:19] Saw**
Even the most normal-looking person,
under the right circumstances, can kill.
**[08:25] Saw**
I've seen it time and again.
**[08:28] Saw**
Well, you can write my advice
off as a joke if you want...
**[08:30] Saw**
But at least keep your guard up
if you don't wanna die.
**[08:34] Saw**
Here we go!
**[08:41] Yuu**
Wow, it's so big!
**[08:42] Aki**
It's awfully small...
**[08:44] Kuma**
Is that a ring?
**[08:46] Kiri**
Think I see our opponents.
**[08:49] Aki**
Four of them?
**[08:50] Kuma**
They're one man short.
**[08:52] Yuu**
Look! Someone's hiding in the shadows!
**[08:55] Kiri**
What's his problem?
**[08:58] Aki**
*If that's the ring, does that mean—*
**[09:01] Ann**
*The second program will now begin!*
**[09:05] Ann**
* The named member from each team will enter*
* the ring and fight a one-on-one match.*
**[09:09] Ann**
* The results of those matches will*
* determine which team is the winner.*
**[09:14] Ann**
* Matches can only be resolved*
* through expulsion from the ring,*
**[09:17] Ann**
* loss of consciousness, admission*
* of defeat, or death.*
**[09:21] Ann**
*Satoru Sawatari!*
**[09:23] Ann**
*Rin Kashii!*
**[09:25] Ann**
*Please enter the ring!*
**[09:27] Saw**
Wait, what?!
**[09:28] Saw**
The "team matches" ain't
us fightin' as a team,
**[09:31] Saw**
but judo-style individual bouts?
**[09:34] Aki**
*They played us for fools.*
**[09:36] Aki**
*After the one-on-one matches,*
**[09:38] Aki**
* hearing that the next program*
* was five-on-five team battles,*
**[09:40] Aki**
*and having time to prepare as a group,*
**[09:42] Aki**
* encouraged us to reveal our abilities,*
* to prepare for the battle ahead.*
**[09:46] Aki**
* But a "team battle" that's a*
* series of one-on-one bouts*
**[09:49] Aki**
*doesn't require us to share our abilities.*
**[09:52] Aki**
* We've revealed crucial*
* information unnecessarily*
**[09:55] Aki**
* to people we might have*
* to fight in the future.*
**[09:58] Aki**
*Whoever cooked up this second program*
**[10:02] Aki**
*is utterly vicious.*
**[10:05] Ann**
*Please begin!*
**[10:08] Aki**
* I'm betting there's more*
* to this program, too.*
**[10:14] Sar**
*She's lookin' pretty low-key...*
**[10:16] Sar**
*But I don't trust her one bit!*
**[10:23] Rin**
Excuse me... Mr. Sawatari, was it?
**[10:26] Rin**
I have a little favor to ask.
**[10:29] Rin**
Won't you please forfeit?
**[10:33] Saw**
What?!
**[10:38] Rin**
Excuse me... Won't you please forfeit?
**[10:42] Rin**
I really can't fight another person.
**[10:46] Rin**
But I'm *so* afraid of what
will happen if I lose.
**[10:51] Rin**
So I was hoping you'd just forfeit.
**[10:54] Rin**
Would you, please?
**[10:56] Saw**
Nice offer, lady.
**[10:58] Saw**
But I'm betting you got
somethin' under that sheet.
**[11:01] Saw**
Or maybe you got an ability
that uses the cloth somehow.
**[11:05] Saw**
I know your type.
**[11:07] Saw**
You get a person's guard down,
and then *whammo!*
**[11:10] Rin**
Oh, you've got it all wrong.
**[11:13] Rin**
I'm wearing this sheet...
**[11:17] Rin**
Because this is what I came here in.
**[11:22] Rin**
Of course, I won't ask you
to forfeit for nothing.
**[11:25] Rin**
I'd be happy to give you a
thank-you present after.
**[11:28] Rin**
Well?
**[11:29] Yuu**
Wh-Wh-What is she talking about?!
**[11:31] Aki**
*I see... you can negotiate like that, too.*
**[11:36] Saw**
You don't think much of me, do ya?
**[11:38] Saw**
But I gotta say...
**[11:40] Saw**
It ain't a bad offer!
**[11:42] Yuu**
I knew it! Monkey Man is a frickin' perv!
**[11:44] Kiri**
You suck, dude! I'm gonna kill you!
**[11:46] Saw**
Don't be stupid!
**[11:47] Saw**
I meant the part where
we don't have to fight!
**[11:52] Saw**
I admit, I'm anything but
eager to engage in battle.
**[11:55] Saw**
My ability's a bit on the dangerous side.
**[11:58] Saw**
If I'm not careful,
I could end up killing her.
**[12:03] Saw**
I ain't in the business of harmin' women.
**[12:06] Saw**
But I also can't just forfeit.
**[12:09] Saw**
So how's about we gamble on it?
**[12:12] Saw**
Whoever loses the flip forfeits on the spot!
**[12:14] Saw**
Fair and simple, right?
**[12:17] Aki**
* It's true that his ability isn't*
* a great one for fighting.*
**[12:21] Kuma**
* The battle could prove dangerous for him,*
* depending on the woman's ability.*
**[12:25] Kiri**
* So he's bettin' it on a fifty-fifty*
* gamble instead, huh?*
**[12:29] Yuu**
*He's not taking advantage of her?*
**[12:31] Yuu**
*Monkey Man's a decent guy after all!*
**[12:33] Aki**
*Wait a minute.*
**[12:34] Aki**
*But this strategy...*
**[12:36] Rin**
Very well. I agree.
**[12:38] Rin**
I call heads.
**[12:41] Saw**
Then I'm tails.
**[12:44] Saw**
*This is how it's always been for me.*
**[12:46] Saw**
*No matter the situation,*
**[12:47] Saw**
*no matter what I have to resort to,*
**[12:49] Saw**
*I always survive!*
**[12:59] Rin**
So sorry!
**[13:01] Rin**
I'm just *too* afraid to forfeit.
**[13:04] Rin**
So I need you to lose!
**[13:08] Aki**
*There was one flaw in Sawatari's strategy.*
**[13:12] Aki**
* It won't work against someone who*
* planned to kill you from the start.*
**[13:17] Aki**
*He moved his eyes to the coin,*
**[13:19] Aki**
*and that's when she struck.*
**[13:21] Yuu**
H-Hey...
**[13:21] Yuu**
Hang on.
**[13:23] Yuu**
Monkey Man?
**[13:24] Aki**
*Calm down.*
**[13:25] Aki**
*Don't stop looking. Don't stop thinking.*
**[13:27] Aki**
*What in the hell was her ability?!*
**[13:31] Kiri**
Hey, Akira, did you catch it?
**[13:34] Aki**
I watched the whole thing,
but I still didn't catch it.
**[13:37] Aki**
That woman, Rin, barely moved at all.
**[13:41] Aki**
But those blades appeared out
of thin air in an instant.
**[13:47] A**
How's he look?
**[13:48] B**
Nothing we can do.
**[13:50] A**
All right. Dispose of him.
**[13:52] Yuu**
No way!
**[13:53] Yuu**
Hang on!
**[13:53] Aki**
Yuuri, keep away from the ring!
**[13:56] Yuu**
But... dispose of him?
**[13:58] Yuu**
They can't...
**[14:00] Yuu**
Monkey Man was... just a minute ago...
**[14:12] Kiri**
What a dumbass.
**[14:14] Kiri**
He acted all cautious, but let his
guard down when it really mattered.
**[14:19] Kiri**
If he'd kept his guard up against her,
**[14:21] Kiri**
we could've figured out
her ability, at least.
**[14:24] Kiri**
Useless asshole.
**[14:25] Yuu**
H-How can you say that?
**[14:27] Yuu**
How can you say that about
someone who just died?!
**[14:30] Kuma**
I won't take that lying down, either.
**[14:32] Kuma**
You don't talk that way about a
comrade who died in the ring.
**[14:35] Kuma**
Take it back.
**[14:37] Kiri**
Say that again?
**[14:39] Aki**
*This isn't good.*
**[14:41] Aki**
* Sawatari's death is affecting*
* them more than I expected.*
**[14:45] Rin**
Looks like a little team
quarrel over there.
**[14:47] Rin**
We should really try to keep
a united front, though!
**[14:51] Rin**
Does it bother you that I killed someone?
**[14:56] Kita**
W-Well...
**[14:58] Rin**
But don't you remember what we discussed?
**[15:00] Rin**
He said he had an ability that
could kill me, remember?
**[15:05] Rin**
That was the only way I
could protect myself.
**[15:09] Rin**
Right?
**[15:11] Kiri**
You got a problem, old man?
**[15:13] Aki**
*I can't afford a team falling-out right now!*
**[15:17] Aki**
They're right.
**[15:19] Aki**
We're a team, remember?
**[15:21] Aki**
And while it's certainly important
that we speak our minds,
**[15:25] Aki**
I don't think now's the time.
**[15:27] Aki**
I really think we should
pick this up... later.
**[15:33] Kiri**
I get you...
**[15:35] Kiri**
Later, huh?
**[15:39] Ann**
*Match two:*
**[15:41] Ann**
*Shin Kumagiri!*
**[15:43] Ann**
*Ringo Tatara!*
**[15:44] Ann**
*Please enter the ring!*
**[15:47] Kuma**
Sorry. You're right.
**[15:51] Kuma**
*Later, eh?*
**[15:53] Kuma**
* Indeed, any discussion can wait*
* until we've survived this.*
**[15:56] Kiri**
I might be preachin' to
the choir, old man.
**[15:59] Kiri**
But she seems pretty damn chill about
the idea of fightin' a hulk like you.
**[16:05] Kiri**
Don't give us a repeat of Monkey Man.
**[16:08] Kuma**
I'm aware.
**[16:10] Kuma**
*She really does seem extremely calm.*
**[16:12] Kuma**
*Is that an indication of a powerful ability?*
**[16:16] Kuma**
*But I can't afford to lose!*
**[16:19] Kuma**
* Someone needs to put a*
* stop this absurd game!*
**[16:23] Ann**
*Please begin, then!*
**[16:25] Kuma**
*I'm going to learn from Sawatari's example.*
**[16:27] Kuma**
* I'll get close, while maintaining*
* enough distance to react.*
**[16:32] Kuma**
* If I throw her out of the ring,*
* I can win without harming her!*
**[16:38] Kuma**
*Here it comes!*
**[16:41] Ring**
I forfeit.
**[16:42] Ring**
I admit defeat in this match.
**[16:48] Kuma**
What in the...
**[16:50] Ann**
*One fighter has admitted defeat.*
**[16:53] Ann**
*Shin Kumagiri wins.*
**[16:56] Kiri**
What the heck?
**[16:58] Yuu**
Maybe her ability's no good in a fight?
**[17:01] Aki**
I don't know.
**[17:02] Aki**
There wasn't enough there to even speculate.
**[17:05] Aki**
A bad matchup, maybe?
**[17:07] Ring**
I'm sorry.
**[17:08] Rin**
What happened there, dear?
**[17:11] Ring**
There was no way I could beat him.
**[17:14] Ring**
I copied his ability, but nothing happened.
**[17:20] Kita**
Nothing happened?
**[17:21] Ring**
Yes.
**[17:22] Ring**
It must have some kind
of condition attached.
**[17:25] Ring**
If I copy an ability and can't
identify it immediately,
**[17:29] Ring**
I'm effectively helpless.
**[17:32] Ring**
There was no way that I could
beat a man with his build.
**[17:35] Rin**
I see.
**[17:36] Rin**
Well, you tried your best...
**[17:38] Rin**
Is that what you expected to hear?
**[17:41] Rin**
You had your opponent on guard for a moment.
**[17:43] Rin**
Couldn't you have gotten him
to show off his ability? Well?
**[17:47] Rin**
I think maybe you just weren't trying!
**[17:49] Sae**
R-Rin, please!
**[17:51] Rin**
You *do* realize this is a
team match, don't you?
**[17:54] Rin**
If we lose because of you,
we might all get penalized.
**[17:58] Rin**
Why should I suffer, when I won my match?
**[18:01] Rin**
Why? Why? Why?!
**[18:04] Sae**
D-Don't worry, Rin!
**[18:06] Sae**
My ability gives me a real
advantage in these fights!
**[18:09] Sae**
We'll definitely win the next round!
**[18:12] Rin**
Oh, right! Good point!
**[18:14] Rin**
Sorry I lost my head, you guys!
**[18:19] Ring**
Thank you for that, Zokumyoin.
**[18:22] Sae**
It's nothing! We're a team, right?
**[18:24] Sae**
*I'm glad I managed to talk her down.*
**[18:27] Sae**
*But Tatara is also very impressive.*
**[18:30] Sae**
* She didn't show a hint of fear*
* while Rin was threatening her.*
**[18:35] Ring**
I was so scared!
**[18:37] Ring**
What's *with* that lady?!
**[18:38] Ring**
Her ability and her personality
are both terrifying!
**[18:40] Ring**
People like that shouldn't be
allowed to possess deadly weapons!
**[18:43] Ring**
*Still,*
**[18:44] Ring**
* I definitely couldn't have*

A slingshot?
**[19:48] Sae**
If I can strike first, I win!
**[20:00] Kiri**
An ability that turns marbles into
big ol' wrecking balls, huh?
**[20:05] Kiri**
Good thing I swiped it away just in case...

*Marbles?*

* He's got some serious kinetic*

**[20:18] Sae**
I didn't expect to fight
someone so competent.
**[20:22] Kiri**
Woulda turned out pretty bad
if that'd hit me head-on.
**[20:26] Kiri**
But if you wanna play rough...
**[20:28] Kiri**
I'm free to play rough, too!
**[20:32] Sae**
*He turned his stick into a sword!*
**[20:34] Kiri**
Now it's my turn, girlie!

* I'll need to enlarge it*

**[20:43] Sae**
H-He's so fast!
**[20:45] Kiri**
You think I couldn't see
what you were thinkin'?
**[20:47] Sae**
Then I'll try three at once!
**[20:54] Sae**
And one more!
**[20:57] Kuma**
Kirisaki!
**[21:04] Kuma**
Not bad at all.
**[21:06] Kuma**
You had a pretty good idea there.
**[21:08] Yuu**
Incredible. He cut it in half.

Hey, girlie. You get it, don't ya?
**[02:00] Kirisaki**
Ain't no way you can beat
me with your ability.
**[02:04] Kirisaki**
Why not forfeit already?
**[02:07] Saeko**
* If I forfeit now... there's no*
* telling what Rin might do to me.*
**[02:17] Saeko**
I'm sorry...
**[02:19] Saeko**
But I can't afford to lose!
**[02:22] Kirisaki**
No forfeit, then?
**[02:24] Akira**
Kirisaki! Finish this now!
**[02:29] Saeko**
*It's time to bet big...*
**[02:38] Kirisaki**
You sure you wanna go all-out like that?
**[02:41] Kirisaki**
You gotta run out of
those things sooner or—
**[02:47] Akira**
*She cut off his escape route?*
**[02:49] Kirisaki**
Tryin' to hold me in one spot, huh?
**[02:53] Kirisaki**
But you know I can just cut
through the things, right?
**[02:56] Kirisaki**
*Though... I'm not totally surrounded anyway.*
**[03:00] Saeko**
I'll give you my last one, too!
**[03:07] Kirisaki**
Told you it wouldn't work on—
**[03:11] Saeko**
Sorry... I had one more left over!
**[03:14] Saeko**
* I'm close enough to hit him before*
* he can dodge or slice through it!*
**[03:28] Saeko**
He had a hidden knife?
**[03:30] Kirisaki**
Nothin' hidden about it.
**[03:36] Kirisaki**
My ability lets me turn
a stick into a sword.
**[03:41] Kirisaki**
Stands to reason that if I got two sticks...
**[03:44] Kirisaki**
I can turn 'em both into swords.
**[03:47] Saeko**
Two sticks?
**[03:49] Saeko**
*In that moment he was out of sight...*
**[03:57] Kirisaki**
I told you to forfeit already.
**[04:00] Kirisaki**
I'm givin' you one more chance.
**[04:03] Kirisaki**
Out with it.
**[04:06] Saeko**
Thank you.
**[04:10] Saeko**
The arrogance afforded you
by your skill and confidence
**[04:13] Saeko**
is what's given me this opportunity.
**[04:20] Kirisaki**
A marble? How'd it get there?
**[04:24] Saeko**
It bounced back this way!

Hey. How'd you lose that one?

I'm starting to think
you're kind of an idiot.

Hey, if you lose...
**[05:29] Akira**
Yeah, they haven't told us what
happens to the team that loses.
**[05:33] Akira**
It would be fair to assume the worst.
**[05:36] Akira**
Looks like *someone's* put me in a
position where I can't afford to lose.
**[05:40] Kumagiri**
Be careful.
**[05:42] Akira**
I'll do my best.
**[05:46] Akira**
*Just kidding.*
**[05:48] Akira**
* There's actually no reason*
* to assume the worst.*
**[05:51] Akira**
* If their goal is to get*
* us to kill each other,*
**[05:55] Akira**
* it would make no sense for*
* them to kill the losers.*
**[05:58] Akira**
* They're even willing to give us medical*
* treatment to make sure we can keep fighting.*
**[06:02] Akira**
* If we do receive punishment, at least*
* it won't involve killing or disabling us.*
**[06:07] Akira**
*Which means my priority here isn't victory.*

*Now, please begin!*
***SIGN*** <>
Mr. Akira Shiroyanagi
Your ability is
"whatever the other person thinks your ability is."
**[06:16] Akira**
* What does the phrase "the*

***SIGN*** The Other Person
**[06:19] Akira**
* Who of the eight people here can*

*First off...*
**[06:53] Akira**
*Experiment phase one over.*
**[06:56] Akira**
*It didn't activate, as expected.*
**[06:58] Akira**
* I'm lucky that he didn't*

*Time to move on to phase two, then.*

*He moved!*
**[07:09] Kitajima**
*But... not toward me?*
**[07:12] Akira**
Kirisaki...
**[07:14] Akira**
You still don't get it.
**[07:17] Akira**
You've almost died twice after
underestimating your opponent.
**[07:20] Akira**
You're an incorrigible fool
who endangered our team.
**[07:23] Akira**
At a time when I'm the only one
capable of using an ability,
**[07:25] Akira**
did you really think I'd let you live?
**[07:31] Akira**
*It activated!*
**[07:32] Yuuri**
Wait!
**[07:41] Kitajima**
What the...
**[07:48] Kirisaki**
Damn you!
**[07:51] Akira**
I wasn't serious, of course.
**[07:53] Akira**
But let that be a lesson to you.
**[07:56] Kirisaki**
You... You actually frickin' shot at me!
**[07:59] Akira**
Please. It was a joke!
**[08:01] Kirisaki**
It wasn't goddamn funny!
**[08:03] Kitajima**
*He shot at his own teammate? Why?*
**[08:06] Akira**
*Sorry, Kirisaki.*
**[08:07] Akira**
* You've helped to clarify*
* my ability's nature.*
**[08:11] Akira**
* Good. Now it's time to*
* enter the final stage.*
**[08:14] Kitajima**
*This kid's a monster!*
**[08:17] Kitajima**
*He's got the cannon ability?*
**[08:20] Kitajima**
*I've been left behind all my life.*
**[08:23] Kitajima**
*Always the sad side character.*
**[08:25] Kitajima**
* Never a protagonist.*
* I feared I never would be...*
**[08:30] (Flashback) Kitajima**
I want to be reborn.
**[08:36] Kitajima**
*It's coming... the cannon!*
**[08:39] Kitajima**
*I have to dodge it!*
**[08:43] Akira**
* They should all think the*
* cannon's my ability now.*
**[08:47] Akira**
*I'll try them in order.*
**[08:49] Akira**
*Nothing?*
**[08:50] Akira**
*But what about now?*
**[08:55] Akira**
*I see.*
**[08:56] Akira**
*So it activates under these conditions only.*
**[08:59] Akira**
*Experiment complete.*
**[09:00] Akira**
*Now to clip him non-lethally.*
**[09:07] Akira**
*The blast disappeared?*
**[09:10] Kitajima**
*Damn it! I showed my ability!*
**[09:23] Kitajima**
*I'm dead!*
**[09:27] Kitajima**
*It's over.*
**[09:28] Kitajima**
* I'll always be a side character,*
* always left behind!*
**[09:31] Both**
Keep fighting!
**[09:33] Saeko**
Keep fighting!
**[09:34] Ringo**
You can still do this!
**[09:36] Kitajima**
*They're cheering... for me?*
**[09:40] Kitajima**
* I've never had a girl cheer*
* for me in my entire life.*
**[09:44] Kitajima**
*What is this I'm feeling?*
**[09:46] Rin**
Don't be silly.
**[09:48] Rin**
I'll show you how you encourage a man.
**[09:50] Rin**
Kitajima dear!
**[09:52] Rin**
If you win, these girls will do
**[09:54] Rin**
*absolutely*
**[09:55] Rin**
anything you ask!
**[09:57] Saeko**
Hey, don't tell him that!
**[10:06] Kitajima**
*You mean it?!*
**[10:11] Kitajima**
*I've been reborn!*
**[10:12] Kitajima**
*I'm leaving behind my pathetic beginnings...*
**[10:15] Kitajima**
*to become a protagonist!*
**[10:24] Kitajima**
*A shoe?*
**[10:26] Akira**
Hands up high, and hold them there.
**[10:29] Akira**
Make a move to lower them, and I shoot.
**[10:32] Akira**
At this range, I'll definitely hit first.
**[10:36] Akira**
When the blast disappeared, the cannon
on my hand disappeared, too.
**[10:41] Akira**
The shoe didn't disappear, though.
**[10:43] Akira**
This proved to me that your ability...
**[10:46] Akira**
It's the ability to nullify
other abilities.
**[10:49] Akira**
But only while you have a hand
touching the ground, right?
**[10:54] Kitajima**
I... I forfeit.
**[10:58] Mion Announcer**
*The winner, Akira Shiroyanagi!*
**[11:04] Akira**
*That was a fruitful experiment.*
**[11:10] Akira**
* I started by using my ability on the people*
* who thought my ability was the cannon,*
**[11:15] Akira**
*but the cannon didn't appear.*
**[11:19] Akira**
* It doesn't work if I unilaterally declare*
* someone else "the other person."*
**[11:23] Akira**
* Next, I declared I was*
* going to shoot Kirisaki,*
**[11:25] Akira**
* which established a mutual*
* engagement between us.*
**[11:28] Akira**
*The cannon activated then.*
**[11:30] Akira**
* Once the enemy team*
* had seen my ability,*
**[11:32] Akira**
* I tried to use it, treating each of*
* them as "the other person" in turn.*
**[11:36] Akira**
*They're all my enemies,*
**[11:38] Akira**
* but the cannon only activated against*
* the person I was facing in the ring.*
**[11:42] Akira**
* This tells me there's a condition for who my*
* ability will consider "the other person."*
***SIGN*** <>

What was all that crap about?!
**[12:06] Akira**
*Oh, right. This.*
**[12:07] Akira**
It was for your own good!
**[12:12] Akira**
I didn't even hit you. No big deal.
**[12:14] Kirisaki**
It's a *big* freakin' deal!
**[12:15] Yuuri**
That cannon ability is pretty darn powerful.
**[12:18] Kumagiri**
Yeah.
**[12:19] Kumagiri**
The other man's ability seemed
rather poor by comparison.
**[12:23] Akira**
I wouldn't say that.
**[12:25] Akira**
In the hands of an experienced
fighter like you, Kumagiri,
**[12:30] Akira**
the ability would nullify my cannon,
**[12:31] Akira**
and I wouldn't have stood a chance.
**[12:33] Kumagiri**
I see.
**[12:35] Akira**
An ability's usefulness comes
down to who uses it, and how.
**[12:41] Mion Announcer**

Calm down, Yuuri!

Come on up.

**[13:57] Ouji**
Anywhere you ask!
**[14:01] Mion Announcer**
*Now, please begin!*
**[14:04] Kumagiri**
I have my doubts about this.
**[14:06] Kumagiri**
Do you think Yuuri's ability
gives her a chance?
**[14:10] Kumagiri**
Even if it does quintuple
her physical abilities,
**[14:12] Kumagiri**
she still has the untrained
arms of a teenage girl.
**[14:15] Kumagiri**
Even quintupled, her punching power
is unlikely to prove a threat.
**[14:20] Akira**
I don't think you have to worry.
**[14:28] Yuuri**
Stand right there, stalker asshole.
**[14:32] Ouji**
Come to me, Yuuri!
**[14:34] Ouji**
Your anger, your attacks,
**[14:36] Ouji**
your love for me that you won't admit,
even to yourself...
**[14:40] Ouji**
I'll absorb them all...
**[14:42] Ouji**
with my ability to make
my body as hard as iron!
**[14:47] Yuuri**
Oh, yeah?
**[14:48] Yuuri**
Sounds a lot like my first match, then.
**[14:51] Yuuri**
I can beat the shit out
of you without shame.
**[14:55] Ouji**
She's fast!
**[15:11] Mion Announcer**
*The winner, Yuuri Amagake!*
**[15:15] Akira**
If it was just her punching power quintupled,
it might be trivial indeed.
**[15:19] Akira**
But you saw her jump in the
waiting room, didn't you?
**[15:23] Akira**
She has the ability to quintuple
*all* her physical abilities.
**[15:28] Akira**
A punch channels all the
muscles in the body.
**[15:31] Akira**
Her running speed, her muscles' extension,
her physical strength...
**[15:35] Akira**
If all of them are quintupled
simultaneously...
**[15:37] Akira**
The result is amplified far
more than five times.
**[15:41] Akira**
If that's what she can do to
a body as hard as steel...
**[15:45] Akira**
That ability of hers...
it might be unstoppable.
**[15:49] Mion**
The end!
**[15:51] Mion**
Well done, all!
**[15:53] Mion**
The beautiful magician, Mion, returns!
**[15:57] Mion**
That's the end of the second program!
**[15:59] Mion**
We'll be moving on to
the third program soon!
**[16:02] Mion**
But first...
**[16:04] Mion**
I have a few things to say to all of you.
**[16:06] Mion**
That's right! It's about the
losing team's punishment!
**[16:10] Mion**
You know you're getting penalized
for losing this time, right?
**[16:13] Mion**
Will we kill you all for sheer uselessness?
**[16:16] Mion**
Or did we have a clever little
someone who's convinced himself
**[16:20] Mion**
we were all paper tigers
who'd *never* go as far
**[16:24] Mion**
as killing anyone?
**[16:27] Akira**
What?
**[16:28] Mion**
Of course, you really *must* suffer!
**[16:32] Yuuri**
What are they doing?
**[16:33] Mion**
We'll be moving you all to a new room,
where the losing team will be penalized!
**[16:39] Mion**
Just wait and see!
**[16:44] Akira**
* Are they going to torture*
* them while we watch?*
**[16:45] Akira**
*Or even execute them in front of our eyes?*
**[16:48] Akira**
* Damn. I underestimated how*
* vicious she could be.*
**[17:09] Mion**
Welcome, winners!
**[17:11] Mion**
You'll be taking a teeny little break,
**[17:13] Mion**
while the losing team, for their punishment,
**[17:16] Mion**
will be forced to serve you while
wearing humiliating outfits!
**[17:22] Mion**
Don't forget to really show
off how good the food is!
**[17:28] Mion**
What's wrong?
**[17:29] Mion**
Something on my face?
**[17:32] Mion**
Not quite what you expected, was it?
**[17:35] Akira**
*She's utterly...*
**[17:37] Mion**
Those guys will sit in
a corner and get water.
**[17:44] Yuuri**
How can you guys eat at a time like this?
**[17:46] Yuuri**
I can't even scrape together an appetite.
**[17:48] Kumagiri**
Neither can I.
**[17:50] Akira**
Well, who knows when we'll
get another chance to eat?
**[17:53] Rin**
I'm so glad the punishment
was this silly little thing!
**[17:56] Rin**
You're Akira, aren't you?
**[17:59] Rin**
You surprised me, how you attacked
your own teammate during the match...
**[18:03] Rin**
I'd *love* to learn more about you.
**[18:07] Akira**
The feeling's not mutual.
**[18:08] Akira**
I don't care about you, or your ability.
**[18:12] Akira**
Yuuri, can you hand me that plate?
**[18:14] Rin**
What a pity!
**[18:16] Akira**
*That woman is dangerous.*
**[18:18] Akira**
* I don't want to have*
* anything to do with her.*
**[18:19] Yuuriri**
Here... ow.
**[18:22] Akira**
What's wrong?
**[18:22] Yuuri**
My wrist's been hurting for a while now.
**[18:25] Yuuri**
I guess because of how
I slammed it into him.
**[18:28] Akira**
Let me see.
**[18:30] Yuuri**
What the heck? Don't touch it.
**[18:33] Akira**
Just hold still and don't move.
**[18:37] Akira**
There.
**[18:38] Akira**
Sorry it's just a handkerchief,
but it should do for now.
**[18:41] Akira**
Hold it as still as you can.
**[18:43] Yuuri**
Thanks.
**[18:45] Yuuri**
That's a pretty cute hanky, huh?
**[18:48] Akira**
Shut up.
**[18:49] Kirisaki**
Hey, you.
**[18:51] Kirisaki**
Get me some more tea.
**[18:53] Ringo**
R-Right...
**[18:55] Akira**
You're acting awfully high-and-mighty.
**[18:57] Kirisaki**
I'm a winner. I earned it.
**[19:00] Akira**
But *you* didn't win.
**[19:04] Yuuri**
Hey, he's got a point!
**[19:07] Akira**
Perhaps you should be a bunny, too.
**[19:14] Rin**
I could ask if they have a spare!
**[19:17] Kirisaki**
D-Don't you dare, damn it!
**[19:19] Akira**
See? You don't have to let
that fool bother you.
**[19:23] Ringo**
Thanks.
**[19:25] Ringo**
*Akira Shiroyanagi. I'm sure he's...*
**[19:29] Akira**
This must be so hard, though...
**[19:31] Akira**
For a middle schooler like you.
**[19:34] Ringo**
Not at all.
**[19:36] Ringo**
*I'm a third-year in high school!*
**[19:38] Ringo**
* Excuse me for being short*
* and underdeveloped!*
**[19:44] Mion**
Now, it's time to begin the third program!
**[19:48] Mion**
Each team will take a
different path from here!
**[19:58] Mion**
Oh, that's right.
**[19:59] Mion**
Bunny dress-up time was
just a little bit of fun.
**[20:02] Mion**
The losing team's penalty
is still coming up.
**[20:06] Mion**
See you then, okay?
**[20:14] Black**
Each of you will choose a path,
follow it to the end,
**[20:17] Black**
and follow the instructions
you receive there.
**[20:20] Akira**
Does that mean...
**[20:21] Yuuri**
...the team's breaking up?
**[20:23] Kumagiri**
Perhaps.
**[20:25] Kirisaki**
Maybe we'll be enemies
the next time we meet.
**[20:28] Akira**
That would be an easy win
for me, against you.
**[20:30] Kirisaki**
You!
**[20:31] Kirisaki**
I'll get you for that!
**[20:33] Kumagiri**
I don't mind if we meet again as enemies.
**[20:37] Kumagiri**
It just means we'll all
have survived that long.
**[20:40] Kumagiri**
Stay alive, all of you.
**[20:45] Kirisaki**
Well... later, guys.
**[20:48] Kumagiri**
I'm going too.
**[20:52] Yuuri**
Eeny, meeny, miny...
**[20:54] Akira**
Yuuri, that handkerchief means a lot to me.
**[20:59] Akira**
I've had it since I was a kid.
**[21:02] Yuuri**
For real?
**[21:04] Yuuri**
If it's that important, you can take it!
**[21:06] Akira**
What I mean is...
**[21:07] Akira**
Make sure you bring it back to me.
**[21:11] Akira**
Promise you will.
**[21:13] Yuuri**
F-Fine.
**[21:15] Yuuri**
I'll get it back.
**[21:17] Yuuri**
You stay safe, too.
**[21:19] Yuuri**
Promise!
**[21:26] Akira**
There's a seed planted, I hope.

That seems unlikely.

You saved me, but I haven't even
introduced myself, let alone said thanks.
**[08:18] Katsuya**
I'm Katsuya Saitou.
**[08:20] Akira**
You don't need to thank us.
**[08:22] Akira**
You tried to save us first, after all.
**[08:25] Akira**
Those men wanted to drag
us away against our will.
**[08:30] Akira**
It seems clear that they
meant to do us harm.
**[08:34] Akira**
In response, you didn't hesitate to show
your ability and fight to protect us.
**[08:40] Akira**
"Protect anyone—ally or not—from the Reds."
**[08:44] Akira**
Is that your philosophy...

**[08:52] Akira**
We're the ones who should be thanking you.
**[08:54] Akira**
So, thanks.
**[08:56] Katsuya**
*Who is this kid?*
**[08:58] Yuuri**
Say, what's all this "Reds"
and "Greens" stuff, anyway?
**[09:02] Katsuya**
It's a bunch of factions.
**[09:04] Katsuya**
Most people play the third program in teams.
**[09:08] Katsuya**
I'm a Green.
**[09:09] Katsuya**
Those guys were Team Red.
**[09:12] Katsuya**
They're no joke.
**[09:14] Katsuya**
They're led by two guys with
crazy abilities and sharp minds.
**[09:20] Akira**
That reminds me...
**[09:22] Akira**
You said something about
recruiting us earlier.
**[09:25] Akira**
Will you take me to Team Green?
**[09:30] Shima**
Hey, Katsuya!
**[09:31] Shima**
You managed to get some recruits?
**[09:33] Katsuya**
I did, Shima!
**[09:34] Katsuya**
I want to take them to meet the big man.
**[09:36] Shima**
Come on in, then!
**[09:40] Shima**
Welcome back.
**[09:49] Yuuri**
Amazing!

**[09:58] Katsuya**
Hey, Hareka!
**[10:00] Katsuya**
I made it back.
**[10:01] Katsuya**
Being a good boy, Taro?
**[10:03] Yuuri**
A baby?
**[10:05] Yuuri**
How'd they get a baby here?
**[10:07] Akira**
Look.
**[10:09] Akira**
No cuffs.
**[10:11] Katsuya**
Yeah.
**[10:12] Katsuya**
Taro was born here.
**[10:15] Katsuya**
His mother was three months
pregnant when she arrived.
**[10:19] Hareka**
Taro's mother does work with her ability,
**[10:23] Hareka**
so I'm looking after him while she's gone.
**[10:25] Hareka**
Want to hold him?
**[10:26] Yuuri**
You bet I do!
**[10:28] Akira**
Pregnant women, children, old people...
**[10:31] Yuuri**
He's so heavy!
**[10:31] Katsuya**
We don't turn anyone away.
**[10:34] Katsuya**
That's the reason ya wanted
to come here, right?
**[10:39] Akira**
* This program is different*
* from the first two.*
**[10:43] Akira**
*What in the world happened?*
**[10:44] Yuuri**
Be back later!
**[10:45] Hareka**
Sure!
**[10:50] Katsuya**
This is our meeting room.
**[10:54] Katsuya**
It's the core of our base.
**[10:56] Katsuya**
Our leader will explain it all to ya.
**[10:59] Katsuya**
Just wait here.
**[11:10] Yuuri**
I guess we meet again...
**[11:13] Yuuri**
Pretty quick reunion, huh?
**[11:15] Akira**
Indeed.
**[11:23] Yuuri**
After that emotional goodbye!
It's really kinda crappy.
**[11:26] Akira**
Yeah, you said it.
**[11:29] Akira**
But I would have sought you out,
so I'm glad you came to me.
**[11:38] Yuuri**
The people here seem pretty nice.
**[11:42] Yuuri**
That's why you chose to come, right?
**[11:44] Akira**
Not just that, I'm afraid.
**[11:47] Akira**
From what I can tell about
the third program so far,
**[11:52] Akira**
it shouldn't be possible
to take care of the weak.
**[11:55] Akira**
The fact that they can afford to do
that suggests they're very strong.
**[11:59] Akira**
They've created a base this large and kept
up their team while taking on all comers.
**[12:05] Akira**
They must have multiple members
with superlative abilities.
**[12:11] Akira**
*And a leader who can make that happen...*
**[12:13] Akira**
* I think this team is a good*
* fit for me in this program.*
**[12:22] Katsuya**
Come on in.
**[12:25] Shirasagi**
A pleasure to meet you.
**[12:26] Shirasagi**
I'm Shirasagi, this team's leader.
**[12:31] Shirasagi**
I heard that you saved Katsuya's life.
**[12:35] Shirasagi**
Let me thank you for that.
**[12:37] Akira**
Not at all.
**[12:38] Akira**
He's the one who saved us.
**[12:40] Yuuri**
Yeah.
**[12:41] Shirasagi**
I'm sure you've been through
a lot, but you'll be safe here.
**[12:44] Shirasagi**
And... Akira Shiroyanagi, was it?
**[12:47] Shirasagi**
I'm told you're interested
in learning about our team.
**[12:50] Shirasagi**
And your ability is the cannon?
**[12:52] Shirasagi**
We'll be very glad to have you!
**[12:55] Shirasagi**
We've been lacking in powerful
abilities like yours!
**[13:00] Yuuri**
Hey! You said they had lots
of superlative abilities!
**[13:04] Akira**
Buh?
**[13:06] Katsuya**
By the way, Yuuri, what's your ability?
**[13:09] Yuuri**
Me?
**[13:10] Katsuya**
You're joining us too, right?
**[13:13] Katsuya**
I'd love to hear, if ya don't mind.
**[13:15] Yuuri**
It's the "quintuple your
physical abilities" one.
**[13:24] Katsuya**
Wh-What did you say?
**[13:26] Yuuri**
I said, the "quintuple your
physical abilities" one.
**[13:29] Both**
Wh-What?!
**[13:35] Katsuya**
W-Well...
**[13:36] Katsuya**
Abilities like the cannon one are
considered top-notch A-class abilities,
**[13:41] Katsuya**
but the quintuple one is super ultra rare,
ranked even higher at A+ class!
**[13:46] Yuuri**
F-For real?
**[13:48] Akira**
*Well, it is kind of game-breaking.*
**[13:53] Shirasagi**
Katsuya!
**[13:54] Shirasagi**
You brought us a cannon and a quintuple!
**[13:58] Katsuya**
This could change everything!
**[14:00] Katsuya**
It could completely turn the tables!
**[14:02] Shirasagi**
You did such a good job, Katsuya!
**[14:11] Shirasagi**
E-Excuse me.
**[14:12] Shirasagi**
I lost my head for a moment.
**[14:18] Shirasagi**
I'm sure you have a number of questions.
**[14:21] Shirasagi**
I'll start by explaining
the situation we're in.
**[14:27] Shirasagi**
The key to the third program is the
points collected in these interfaces.
**[14:33] Shirasagi**
Points are earned by completing quests
assigned by the organization.
**[14:38] Shirasagi**
The points are like currency.
**[14:41] Shirasagi**
We can pay them to the organization
to buy various things.
***SIGN*** Point Exchange
**[14:45] Yuuri**
What kinds of things?
**[14:47] Katsuya**
Food, medical supplies, refills of
things our abilities use...
**[14:51] Katsuya**
Even valuable information!
**[14:55] Shirasagi**
Live here, complete quests,
and aim for a thousand points.
**[14:59] Shirasagi**
That's the third program's basic concept.
**[15:02] Shirasagi**
When I first got here, everyone was
forming teams of single-digit members.
**[15:08] Shirasagi**
Small groups are highly mobile,
and nobody fights over point distributions.
**[15:12] Shirasagi**
So it just ends up that way.
**[15:15] Shirasagi**
But eventually,
**[15:17] Shirasagi**
I began to hear of a team rapidly expanding
its membership into the dozens.
**[15:23] Shirasagi**
I thought it was strange,
**[15:25] Shirasagi**
but we were busy with our
own problems, so I paid it no mind.
**[15:28] Shirasagi**
But eventually an unsettling
rumor began to spread.
**[15:32] Shirasagi**
The large team was kidnapping people
for reasons outside of quests.
**[15:38] Shirasagi**
Yuuri...
**[15:40] Shirasagi**
I'm talking about Team Red,
the ones that attacked you.
**[15:43] Yuuri**
Those guys...
**[15:44] Yuuri**
But they're not getting
any points for it, right?
**[15:47] Yuuri**
So why...
**[15:49] Shirasagi**
Why do you think, Akira?
**[15:53] Akira**
Team Red has no intention of
moving on to the next program.
**[15:56] Akira**
Is that it?
**[15:59] Shirasagi**
Precisely.
**[16:01] Shirasagi**
This isn't a place anyone
wants to stay for long,
**[16:04] Shirasagi**
but there's no guarantee that the
next program will be any better.
**[16:08] Shirasagi**
At the very least, if you have a
powerful ability and enough points,
**[16:12] Shirasagi**
you can purchase materials.
**[16:15] Shirasagi**
And so Team Red has begun to
use their ability advantage
**[16:18] Shirasagi**
to make this world into their own kingdom.
**[16:21] Shirasagi**
To make a life here as kings,
exploiting those with weak abilities...
**[16:28] Shirasagi**
They decided that was their best scenario.
**[16:31] Mitsuru**
I'm s-so sorry...
**[16:34] Oogami**
I'm told the four of you together
let a new kid get away...
***SIGN*** Team Red Leader: Hajime Oogami
**[16:38] Oogami**
And one with a cannon, at that.
**[16:41] Mitsuru**
Y-Yes... Well...
**[16:44] Mitsuru**
We actually...
**[16:46] Mitsuru**
*What's that chick doin' here?*
**[16:48] Oogami**
That's all right.
**[16:50] Oogami**
We have his face and his name.
**[16:53] Oogami**
It's not as if a cannon or two
will turn the tables now.
**[16:58] Oogami**
Rin...
**[17:00] Oogami**
Let them have a beer, too.
**[17:05] Oogami**
Come and get it.
**[17:07] Mitsuru**
S-Sure...
**[17:10] Mitsuru**
Th-Thanks...
**[17:17] Mitsuru**
I told you that I'd kill you
if you failed to catch them.
**[17:25] Kuroiwa**
That's enough, Ichi.
**[17:29] Kuroiwa**
I told you, I don't mind
***SIGN*** Team Red Sub-Leader: Masaya Kuroiwa
**[17:31] Kuroiwa**
if you discipline the men,
but try not to make such a mess.
**[17:35] Oogami**
Oh, get off my back already.
**[17:37] Oogami**
It's not harming you, Kuro.
**[17:39] Kuroiwa**
Oh, but it is.
**[17:41] Kuroiwa**
If one drop of blood gets
on my clothing or shoes,
**[17:44] Kuroiwa**
I'll kill him on the spot.
**[17:47] Kuroiwa**
Take that garbage out of here.
**[17:50] Kuroiwa**
It's in the way.
**[17:52] Oogami**
So what do we do about the cannon kid?
**[17:56] Kuroiwa**
You're right that the cannon is irrelevant.
**[17:59] Kuroiwa**
But I am curious about how a newcomer kid
managed to escape from our little quartet.
**[18:06] Kuroiwa**
That brat... There's more to
him than just the cannon.
**[18:13] Oogami**
More?
***SIGN*** Akira Shiroyanagi
***SIGN*** 16 Years Old
***SIGN*** Ability: Cannon +α?
**[18:14] Kuroiwa**
There seems to be a large
influx of extras today.
**[18:17] Kuroiwa**
Ichi, if one of them has
a rare ability like yours...
**[18:22] Kuroiwa**
And they were to team up
with someone like me...
**[18:26] Kuroiwa**
That *would* demand our attention.
**[18:33] Shirasagi**
Team Red exploits the weak
and uses them like slaves.
**[18:39] Yuuri**
Exploits the weak...
**[18:47] Shirasagi**
I couldn't abide their tyranny any longer.
**[18:50] Shirasagi**
That's why, in order to protect the weak,
**[18:54] Shirasagi**
we created a force in
opposition to Team Red.
**[18:57] Akira**
Is that Team Green?
**[18:59] Shirasagi**
Yes.
**[19:00] Shirasagi**
And there's one other team...
**[19:03] Shirasagi**
They have their individual
objectives and styles,
**[19:06] Shirasagi**
and declare neutrality in the conflict so
that both Green and Red leave them alone.
**[19:10] Shirasagi**
We call them Team Blue.
**[19:13] Shirasagi**
Team Red, which hunts others,
**[19:15] Shirasagi**
Team Green, which opposes them,
**[19:17] Shirasagi**
and Team Blue, which is neutral...
**[19:20] Shirasagi**
The third program is currently
divided into those three factions.
**[19:27] Shirasagi**
We're going to fight Team Red sooner or later.
**[19:31] Shirasagi**
We need you two.
**[19:34] Shirasagi**
I want you to fight with us.
**[19:38] Yuuri**
I'll do it.
**[19:40] Yuuri**
If these Team Red guys really
are doing that awful stuff...
**[19:44] Yuuri**
I'm gonna crush them!
**[19:48] Shirasagi**
And what about you, Akira?
**[19:51] Shirasagi**
You're already in conflict
with the Red Dragons,
**[19:56] Shirasagi**
and if you were the kind of man to
go Blue, you wouldn't be here right now.
**[20:00] Shirasagi**
I don't think you have a choice.
**[20:03] Yuuri**
You'll join, won't you, Akira?
**[20:06] Akira**
* But I don't want to join because*
* I don't have a choice.*
**[20:11] Akira**
*I want to* choose* this place,
and have a reason to do it.*
**[20:16] Akira**
*But I do have a choice, don't I?*
**[20:25] Yuuri**
Akira!
**[20:26] Shirasagi**
Neither of you move.
**[20:29] Shirasagi**
If you move, he'll shoot.
**[20:32] Shirasagi**
I see...
**[20:34] Shirasagi**
You do have the choice...
to take me hostage.
**[20:39] Shirasagi**
That would open up quite
a few options for you.
**[20:43] Shirasagi**
But is that what you want?
**[20:46] Akira**
*Impossible.*
**[20:47] Akira**
*The cannon's not appearing!*
**[20:51] Akira**
*It should activate under these conditions.*
**[20:54] Akira**
* Does their leader have an ability that*
* prevents abilities from activating?*
**[20:58] Akira**
*Or...*
**[21:00] Akira**
*Is it possible?*
**[21:01] Akira**
* He's not entirely convinced that*
* I have the cannon ability?*
**[21:06] Yuuri**
Put your hand down, Akira!
**[21:08] Yuuri**
Why are you doing this?
**[21:13] Shirasagi**
Oh, it really is the cannon.
**[21:18] Shirasagi**
Ready to see where this takes you?

I'm sorry.
**[00:20] Akira**
It was the best I could

**[00:23] Akira**
I'll definitely be staying, Leader.
**[00:28] Yuuri**
What was that all about?!
**[00:31] Shirasagi**
I suspect he just wanted to know
**[00:34] Shirasagi**
if we stood a chance against
Team Red under my leadership.
**[00:38] Shirasagi**
My ability can even block a cannon.
**[00:41] Shirasagi**
That's why I urged him to try it.
**[00:46] Akira**
*Yeah, right...*
**[00:47] Akira**
*You didn't even believe I had the cannon.*
**[00:50] Akira**
*Our leader's a crafty man.*

So sorry to disturb you, Yuuto...

**[01:04] Shirasagi**

**[01:07] Shirasagi**
They could break us out of our stalemate.

*The room might be monitored.*
**[05:47] Yuuri**

**[05:49] Yuuri**
*Who would be doing that?*
**[05:50] Akira**
*Our leader, of course.*

*No, I expect that because I* do *trust him.*

*It's only natural that they'd monitor us.*
**[06:12] Akira**
*We've agreed to work together.*
**[06:15] Akira**
*And I'll explain about my power later, too.*
**[06:18] Akira**
* In the meantime, feel free*

**[06:20] Akira**
*In exchange, I want to learn more about you.*

*What will your parents think, Akira?*

*I only have my father,*

* Then I can have a rematch*
* with that Mion woman.*

* I really can trust you.*

*I promise that you will make it home.*

*I want you to trust me, too.*
**[07:29] Akira**
*Will you keep my ability a secret?*
**[07:32] Yuuri**
*I will.*
**[07:39] Akira**
* My real ability is neither*
* the cannon nor telepathy.*
**[07:45] Akira**
*It's whatever the other person thinks it is.*
**[07:49] Yuuri**
*What in the world?*
**[07:57] Mion**
*Hey-ho!*
**[07:58] Mion**
* Watch closely, good kids!*
* And bad ones, too.*
**[08:01] Mion**
* Your sweet li'l Mion has*

Is this what our leader was talking about?
**[08:34] Kuroiwa**
We'll dispose of the slaves tomorrow.
**[08:36] Oogami**
Yeah, they're so annoying.
**[08:40] Kuroiwa**
A huge influx of people,
a large-scale quest...
**[08:43] Kuroiwa**
What is Mion thinking?
**[08:49] Shirasagi**
This is one of Mion's quests.
**[08:52] Shirasagi**
We can expect to earn a greater

**[08:59] Shirasagi**
I've organized you into
teams based on your roles.
**[09:02] Shirasagi**
I want you all to listen to
your leaders and avoid risk.
**[09:06] Shirasagi**
Akira and Yuuri, you said you wanted
to be together on missions.
**[09:11] Shirasagi**
For your first go-round, I'd like you
to serve as a two-man flying column.
**[09:16] Shirasagi**
Your abilities will be best
used traveling light.
**[09:18] Both**
Yes, sir!
**[09:21] Kirisaki**
You stayin' in?
**[09:23] Iori**
Those who want to go have gone.
**[09:25] Iori**
You want in on it, too?
**[09:27] Kirisaki**
Nah. That ain't what I'm after anyway.
**[09:31] Makuri**
But didn't you say you were
almost out of points, Leader?
**[09:35] Iori**
Oh... right.
**[09:39] Iori**
I really did not wanna go out today...
**[09:49] Yuuri**
*Hey, about last night...*
**[09:51] Yuuri**
*That weird ability of yours...*
**[09:53] Yuuri**
* You can use any ability*
* I think you can use, right?*
**[09:58] Akira**
*Yes.*
**[09:58] Akira**
* You haven't forgotten our*
* agreement from last night?*
**[10:01] Yuuri**
*I hope I can do it, but...*
**[10:04] Akira**
*I'm counting on you, Yuuri.*
**[10:07] Akira**
* When I heard that you could use the*
* interface to look up information,*
**[10:10] Akira**
* the first thing I tried was*
* information about abilities.*
***SIGN*** Information
**[10:14] Akira**
* But I couldn't get any information*
* about abilities at all.*
***SIGN*** Akira Shiroyanagi
***SIGN*** Age 16
**[10:18] Akira**
* Which means that the ability ranking*
* system that Katsuya brought up*
**[10:22] Akira**
* is something the players have*
* come up with themselves.*
**[10:25] Akira**
* The trouble would come if someone*
* already knows that my ability exists.*
**[10:31] Akira**
*I need to act before someone gets my number,*
**[10:34] Akira**
* and I was going to have to do*
* it sooner or later anyway.*
**[10:38] Akira**
* Yuuri is the ideal "other person"*
* under my ability's parameters...*
**[10:42] Akira**
* Even though telling her is basically*
* putting my life in her hands.*
**[10:50] Akira**
*I had no idea...*
**[10:52] Akira**
*how much harder it is to trust someone else*
**[10:55] Akira**
*than to get them to trust you!*
**[11:01] Shirasagi**
We've arrived.
**[11:02] Shirasagi**
These are the Block D ruins.
**[11:05] Yuuri**
Akira! Look!
**[11:08] Mion**
Welcome, all!
**[11:11] Mion**
This is the Mion Presents
Goo-Goo Ghouls party venue!
**[11:17] Mion**
Enjoy it *to death*, you guys!
**[11:27] Akira**
Aren't those...
**[11:30] Mion**
The quest ends when either all the
ghouls or all the people are dead!
**[11:34] Mion**
Each ghoul kill earns you thirty points!
**[11:38] Mion**
And don't forget!
While participating in the quest,
**[11:41] Mion**
it's forbidden to attack
other quest participants!
**[11:44] Mion**
Goo-Goo Ghouls... start!
**[11:51] Mob**
What are those things?!
**[11:53] Shirasagi**
Stay strong!
**[11:54] Shirasagi**
All team tanks!
***SIGN*** Tank
**[11:56] Shirasagi**
Move forward and ring up!
**[12:09] Shirasagi**
Binders!
**[12:10] Shirasagi**
Hold down the enemies the tanks lured in!
***SIGN*** Binder
**[12:12] Asuka**
Then slayers!
***SIGN*** Slayer
***SIGN*** Slayer
**[12:16] Asuka**
While the tanks and binders keep the enemy
distracted, the slayers do their work!
**[12:21] Tattooed Man**
They might be big and tough,
but they move simplistically.
**[12:24] Tattooed Man**
They're nothing to be afraid of.
**[12:37] Akira**
In other words, with both weapons
and intelligence, we'll beat them every time.
**[12:44] Joushima**
Okay! Let's roll!
**[12:49] Akira**
It's okay, Yuuri.
**[12:50] Akira**
With your quintuple movement,
you can run circles around them.
**[12:53] Akira**
Let's execute the agreement
we made last night!
**[12:55] Yuuri**
Got it!
**[13:01] Eiji**
Purge, finish it off!
***SIGN*** Eiji Ueno
Team D Leader
"The ability to make your body
as hard as iron: <>"
**[13:05] Katsuya**
It's coming!
**[13:06] Katsuya**
Ya sure this is what ya want?
**[13:08] Mari**
Yes.
**[13:09] Mari**
Curse doll...
**[13:18] Mari**
See?
**[13:19] Katsuya**
Scary!
***SIGN*** Tooru Joushima
Team C Leader
"The ability to teleport:
<>"
**[13:26] Akira**
Yuuri! You see Team C's leader's ability?
**[13:29] Yuuri**
Yes!
**[13:30] Yuuri**
Is that teleportation?
**[13:39] Akira**
*Just as I thought!*
**[13:42] Yuuri**
*Agreement?*
**[13:43] Akira**
*Yeah.*
**[13:44] Akira**
* First, I want you to keep thinking*
* that my ability is telepathy.*
**[13:49] Yuuri**
* But then how will you*
* fight with your cannon?*
**[13:52] Akira**
*It's covered.*
**[13:53] Akira**
* Everyone else still thinks*
* my ability is the cannon.*
**[13:57] Akira**
* So when I want to use the cannon,*
* I'll just switch to someone else.*
**[14:02] Akira**
* Whatever the other person*
* thinks my ability is...*
**[14:06] Akira**
* "The other person" can be anyone who*
* sees themselves as engaged with me.*
**[14:13] Akira**
*"The other person about to shoot me."*
**[14:15] Akira**
*"The other person I'm about to fight."*
**[14:17] Akira**
* The question is whether anybody but Yuuri*
* will be engaged with me out there.*
**[14:23] Akira**
*The leader is a cautious person.*
**[14:25] Akira**
* If the people with rare abilities like ours*
* want to fight, he'll make full use of us,*
**[14:31] Akira**
* but he'll task trusted allies to watch*
* over us to make sure we're not lost.*
**[14:37] Akira**
* They'll always be thinking of me as*
* "the other person I'm watching out for"!*
**[14:42] Akira**
*This will work.*
**[14:44] Akira**
* I can switch between abilities by having*
* engagements with multiple people.*
**[14:48] Akira**
* With Yuuri's help, I can move*
* my ability to the next stage!*
**[14:52] Mion**
Akira's really going at it.
**[14:55] Mion**
But I wonder how long he can keep it up...
**[15:19] Akira**
Is that Team Red?
**[15:22] Yuuki**
Hey, it's the cannon kid
we've heard so much about!
**[15:24] Yuuki**
Just like Mr. Masa said!
**[15:26] Kuroiwa**
Lower your voice before I kill you.
**[15:28] Yuuki**
Yeah, right! Sorry!
**[15:29] Yuuki**
Uh, sorry...
**[15:31] Oogami**
But sending out a new recruit like that...
**[15:33] Oogami**
Are the Greens getting desperate?
**[15:35] Kuroiwa**
They prioritize point acquisition,
even if it means we see their abilities.
**[15:40] Kuroiwa**
But knowing Shirasagi, I would expect...
**[15:45] Shirasagi**
*I wasn't expecting Kuroiwa to show.*
**[15:47] Shirasagi**
*I don't want him watching us!*
**[15:49] Akira**
*We should hide our abilities.*
**[15:51] Akira**
*Yuuri! Try to limit—*
**[15:54] Yuuri**
Huh?
**[15:55] Akira**
*So much for that!*
**[15:57] Mion**
I set up this whole event,
and you won't even take part,
**[16:00] Mion**
Ichi-Kuro Brothers?
**[16:02] Oogami**
Our brain's decision, not mine.
**[16:04] Mion**
Boo!
**[16:05] Kuroiwa**
Don't pester us, Mion.
**[16:07] Kuroiwa**
You said you'd stay out.
**[16:09] Mion**
Oh, is someone running away?
**[16:12] Mion**
And they were doing so well.
**[16:13] Mion**
Is it because they saw you?
**[16:15] Kuroiwa**
I knew it.
**[16:17] Kuroiwa**
Shirasagi...
**[16:18] Kuroiwa**
There's something he doesn't want me to see.
**[16:21] Oogami**
We won't let them get away.
**[16:23] Oogami**
That's why we brought all these slaves here.
**[16:26] Slave**
Please don't do this!
**[16:27] Kuroiwa**
"Don't do this"?
**[16:29] Kuroiwa**
You all owe me a debt, remember?
**[16:32] Kuroiwa**
It's time you repaid it.
**[16:39] Shirasagi**
If we leave the ruins now,
**[16:41] Shirasagi**
the ghouls' targets will shift to Team Red.
**[16:43] Shirasagi**
And then—
**[16:51] Eiji**
What are they doing?
**[16:52] Shirasagi**
Something's not right.
**[16:54] Shirasagi**
Can it be...
**[16:55] Shirasagi**
They're being forced to charge in?
**[16:57] Shirasagi**
To slow us down?!
**[16:59] Kuroiwa**
You said quest participants are forbidden
from attacking each other.
**[17:03] Kuroiwa**
But this doesn't violate
the rules, does it, Mion?
**[17:06] Mion**
Nah! I'll give you this one!
**[17:09] Kuroiwa**
Since I ordered them to attack the
ghouls rather than Team Green.
***SIGN*** <>
Mr. Masaya Kuroiwa
Your ability is

What now, Shirasagi?
**[17:16] Kuroiwa**
Will you run off and abandon them? Or...
**[17:23] Yuuri**
That girl!
**[17:24] Akira**
From the second—
**[17:29] Ringo**
*Akira!*
**[17:30] Akira**
Leader!
**[17:31] Katsuya**
Sir?
**[17:32] Shirasagi**
We have no choice!
**[17:33] Shirasagi**
Save them!
**[17:36] Oogami**
They're in the palm of our hand.
**[17:37] Oogami**
Like insects.
**[17:39] Kuroiwa**
Reminds you of old times, eh, Ichi?
**[17:42] Oogami**
Yeah. Some things don't change,
no matter where you are.
**[17:45] Oogami**
What's your plan now, Mion?
**[17:47] Oogami**
I'm sure you've got more up your sleeve.
**[17:49] Mion**
I was *really* hoping you'd participate, too.
**[17:52] Mion**
But this is more interesting,
so I'll allow it.
**[18:08] Mion**
Ta-dah!
**[18:10] Mion**
Check out that surprise reveal!
**[18:11] Mion**
It's Meown, the combined ghoul!
**[18:14] Mion**
How many will survive while
also rescuing the slaves?
**[18:20] Mion**
Time to start the main event!
**[18:25] Kuroiwa**
Get going.
**[18:30] Eiji**
Ironwall!
**[18:42] Yuuri**
Akira!
**[18:46] Akira**
Leader!
**[18:48] Kuroiwa**
Oh?
**[18:49] Kuroiwa**
Now this is getting interesting.
**[18:52] Shirasagi**
Akira, can you move?
**[18:54] Akira**
I think so.
**[18:55] Shirasagi**
I'll distract this thing.
**[18:57] Shirasagi**
When you see an opening, go save Eiji.
**[19:00] Shirasagi**
Katsuya!
**[19:01] Shirasagi**
Bring the others together
and get them out of here!
**[19:03] Shirasagi**
I'll be fine!
**[19:05] Shirasagi**
The trouble is...
**[19:07] Kuroiwa**
* Now show me, Shirasagi...*
* all that your ability encompasses.*
**[19:13] Shirasagi**
Go, Akira!
**[19:18] Shirasagi**
I said, you're facing me now!

**[20:48] Joushima**
He could do that, too?
**[20:50] Asuka**
I had no idea!
**[20:52] Oogami**
He had an ace in the hole like that, eh?
**[20:55] Oogami**
The sly old dog.
**[20:56] Kuroiwa**
It was worth watching for that.
**[20:58] Mion**
Excuse me! It's not over yet!
**[21:01] Katsuya**
Sir!
**[21:02] Asuka**
We need to get you treated!
**[21:04] Shirasagi**
I told them to retreat.
**[21:07] Shirasagi**
Honestly...
**[21:21] Mion**
Such a pity!

It could be a horror-themed summer night

Is that why you're wearing that?

You're mocking me!

What if this preview...

Stay back!

Get out of here, fools!
**[00:08] Yuuri**
But—
**[00:09] Katsuya**
Wait!
**[00:10] Katsuya**
Yuuri, you can't help him!
**[00:12] Yuuri**
But he's injured!
**[00:14] Akira**
He's making the right decision.
**[00:17] Akira**
Yuuri, you need to get through this alive
**[00:19] Akira**
to see Riria, right?
**[00:22] Yuuri**
I know they're all right.
**[00:27] Yuuri**
But since I'm not smart like they are...
**[00:29] Yuuri**
It all just sounds like excuses to me!
**[00:32] Yuuri**
I don't want to make excuses
to abandon someone!
**[00:35] Katsuya**
Yuuri!
**[00:37] Akira**
Yuuri means well.
**[00:39] Akira**
But she has a hard time evaluating
immediate situations.
**[00:43] Akira**
The rest of you should get back to base.
**[00:53] Shirasagi**
Wh-What are you doing, Yuuri?!
**[00:56] Yuuri**
I came to save you, obviously!

Akira! You came!
**[02:51] Akira**
We're partners, like I said.
**[03:01] Akira**
*I'll get through this...*
**[03:03] Akira**
*So that I can fight you again.*
**[03:06] Shirasagi**
Fools! Why did you come back?
**[03:09] Akira**
I've come up with a plan.
**[03:12] Akira**
Just watch.
**[03:16] Akira**
Yuuri, I have an idea.
**[03:18] Akira**
Hear me out.
**[03:19] Akira**
Let's go, Yuuri!
**[03:20] Yuuri**
Right!
**[03:24] Yuuri**
*Akira, what's your idea?*
**[03:26] Akira**
*All or nothing!*
**[03:28] Akira**
*Yuuri, listen as you keep fighting!*
**[03:32] Shirasagi**
Akira!
**[03:38] Yuuri**
*No way! We haven't even practiced!*
**[03:41] Akira**
*We just have to do it!*
**[03:42] Akira**
*If we want to beat this thing...*
**[03:45] Akira**
*The leader's attention is focused on me.*
**[03:48] Akira**
* So I just need to find a*
* place out of their sight...*
**[03:57] Akira**
*Over there, maybe?*
**[03:59] Akira**
*Yuuri! Let's do it!*
**[04:01] Yuuri**
*Akira! Are you serious about this?*
**[04:03] Yuuri**
*If we get this wrong...*
**[04:05] Akira**
*Don't worry! I trust you!*
**[04:09] Akira**
*Let's go!*
**[04:12] Oogami**
Their attacks don't faze it.
**[04:15] Oogami**
Are they stupid or something?
**[04:16] Kuroiwa**
No.
**[04:17] Kuroiwa**
I think they may have a plan.
**[04:23] Akira**
*Not yet...*
**[04:26] Akira**
*Okay!*
**[04:33] Akira**
*Yuuri!*
**[04:41] Akira**
*Now!*
**[04:45] Shirasagi**
Akira!
**[04:57] Akira**
Finally got in close.
**[05:04] Both**
What?!
**[05:05] Yuuri**
Akira!
**[05:10] Yuuri**
You did it, you idiot!
**[05:11] Yuuri**
You really scared me.
**[05:14] Yuuri**
Never do anything so dangerous again!
**[05:16] Akira**
Yuuri?
**[05:25] Shirasagi**
It's not over yet!
**[05:27] Shirasagi**
Yuuri!
**[05:27] Shirasagi**
Akira!
**[05:39] Oogami**
Interesting.
**[05:41] Akira**
The leader of Team Red...
**[05:43] Oogami**
I see.
**[05:45] Oogami**
So the cannon works if you
fire it into its mouth.
**[05:49] Oogami**
Did you dodge that final
blow out of pure dumb luck?
**[05:53] Oogami**
You're an interesting pair.
**[05:55] Oogami**
Very interesting!
**[05:56] Oogami**
I haven't felt this way in a long time!
**[06:01] Yuuri**
What's so funny?
**[06:03] Yuuri**
You're the ones responsible for all of this!
**[06:07] Yuuri**
What are you laughing about?!
**[06:13] Oogami**
That won't work.
**[06:19] Akira**
Yuuri!
**[06:22] Oogami**
The ghouls are finished
and the quest is over.
**[06:25] Oogami**
You want to fight me next?
**[06:28] Oogami**
Two on one...
**[06:30] Oogami**
Or three on one if Old Man
Shirasagi is still up for it.
**[06:34] Oogami**
C'mon. Get up.
**[06:35] Oogami**
Let's do this.
**[06:39] Oogami**
Mion...
**[06:41] Mion**
Those calls aren't for you to make, Ichi.
**[06:44] Mion**
*I* haven't declared the quest over yet.
**[06:48] Oogami**
I don't care! You can't stop me now!
**[06:50] Mion**
Calm down now, Ichi.
**[06:52] Mion**
I didn't tell you not to fight.
**[06:55] ---**
Hup!
**[06:57] Mion**
After all, I do think both
sides crossed the line.
**[07:01] Mion**
You're not about to back
off either, are you?
**[07:03] Yuuri**
You bet we're not!
**[07:05] Akira**
Mion... What are you getting at?
**[07:07] Mion**
How would you feel about an
even more exciting quest?
**[07:11] Mion**
A fight-your-heart-out battle game
between Team Red and Team Green,
**[07:14] Mion**
with survival on the line!
**[07:17] Mion**
I call it "Hunt the King!"
**[07:20] Oogami**
Hunt the King?
**[07:22] Oogami**
What's that supposed to be?
**[07:23] Mion**
A very simple quest.
**[07:25] Mion**
We break you into two teams in the field,
**[07:27] Mion**
and whoever hunts down the
other team's leader wins.
**[07:30] Mion**
It's a fun and exciting war game!
**[07:33] Oogami**
War "game," eh?
**[07:35] Kuroiwa**
Is "hunts" meant literally?
**[07:38] Mion**
"Hunts" in this quest refers not to
the opponent but their interface.
**[07:43] Mion**
Do whatever it takes to
steal their interface,
**[07:46] Mion**
and connect it to yours!
**[07:49] Mion**
When you do, the hunt is complete!
**[07:51] Oogami**
Can a farce like that even have a point?
**[07:54] Mion**
If it didn't, it wouldn't be a quest.
**[07:56] Mion**
It being a quest means that I'll intervene.
**[08:00] Mion**
Hunting an enemy gets you points,
**[08:03] Mion**
and as a little bonus, I'll make
the enemy king easier to hunt!
**[08:08] Mion**
For instance... I could activate
their cuffs and seal their abilities!
**[08:14] Akira**
* In other words, render the*
* enemy team leader powerless...*
**[08:17] Kuroiwa**
*...allowing them to be killed.*
**[08:19] Mion**
You've been in quite a deadlock due
to the other leader's ability.
**[08:25] Mion**
But a merciless engagement in this quest
should bring you to a resolution.
**[08:31] Mion**
Red and Green... one or the other will fall.
**[08:36] Oogami**
So if we play your little game,
**[08:38] Oogami**
we can smash that annoying Team Green
**[08:40] Oogami**
and force old man Shirasagi to his knees?
**[08:44] Oogami**
What do you think, Kuro?
**[08:46] Kuroiwa**
What do you think I think?
**[08:48] Kuroiwa**
I'm tired of going along with this nonsense.
**[08:51] Kuroiwa**
But if we have to do it,
I'll give it my all.
**[08:54] Kuroiwa**
You said this would bring
us to a resolution...
**[08:56] Kuroiwa**
Throw in a guarantee that will be the case.
**[08:59] Mion**
How so?
**[09:00] Kuroiwa**
Capturing the king doesn't
just end the game.
**[09:03] Kuroiwa**
If we win, everyone on Team Green dies!
**[09:07] Kuroiwa**
That would be a proper resolution, wouldn't it?
**[09:10] Mion**
What a good idea!
**[09:11] Shirasagi**
Don't be absurd!
**[09:13] Shirasagi**
We have children and the
elderly on our side!
**[09:15] Shirasagi**
They have nothing to do with this battle!
**[09:17] Mion**
None of that, now!
**[09:19] Mion**
Neither Red nor Green has any
right to speak right now.
**[09:25] Mion**
If you refuse my terms,
**[09:26] Mion**
you'll have to fight the
uninjured Team Red right now.
**[09:30] Mion**
Those two who came to save you will die.
**[09:34] Mion**
It's decided.
**[09:36] Mion**
Team Red versus Team Green...
**[09:38] Mion**
And you have the Mion guarantee that
everyone on the losing team will die!
**[09:42] Mion**
The battle quest "Hunt the King"
will begin in seven days!
**[09:48] People**
Hurry! We've got lots of injured!
**[09:51] Momoko**
Burn all the wood we have to heat up water!
**[09:54] Asuka**
We don't have enough wood.
**[09:56] Asuka**
Anyone free, help out!
**[09:58] Hareka**
I have to help, too!
**[10:03] Shirasagi**
How are the injured doing?
**[10:04] Katsuya**
They're fine!
**[10:06] Katsuya**
I'm more impressed that
you've returned, sir!
**[10:08] Shirasagi**
I owe it to these two.
**[10:10] Shirasagi**
You're a mess, Yuuri.
**[10:12] Shirasagi**
We'll prepare a shower and a hot bath,
so please avail yourself of them.
**[10:16] Yuuri**
For real?
**[10:17] Yuuri**
We can?
**[10:18] Katsuya**
Of course!
**[10:19] Katsuya**
You saved our leader's life!
**[10:22] Shirasagi**
Akira...
**[10:23] Shirasagi**
Once I'm patched up, come by my room.
**[10:26] Shirasagi**
I have to talk to you.
**[10:35] Yuuri**
That bastard...
**[10:41] Akira**
How's your arm?
**[10:43] Akira**
Are you sure you shouldn't rest first?
**[10:45] Shirasagi**
No, I need to tell everyone
about the new quest at once.
**[10:50] Shirasagi**
But first, I have to ask you something.
**[10:54] Shirasagi**
What is your real ability?
**[10:58] Shirasagi**
I saw that ghoul's attack crush you.
**[11:01] Shirasagi**
You couldn't have dodged it out of luck.
**[11:04] Shirasagi**
Just what did you do then?
**[11:10] Akira**
You're right.
**[11:12] Akira**
My real ability isn't the cannon.
**[11:15] Akira**
But that's all I can tell you.
**[11:18] Akira**
Just as you hide things from
even your trusted partners,
**[11:22] Akira**
I have a reason for not
revealing my real ability.
**[11:26] Akira**
But I will use this ability
to crush Team Red.
**[11:30] Akira**
I promise you that.
**[11:35] Tachibana**
Damn you... Don't you
know that I'm Team Red?
**[11:40] Kumagiri**
Red?
**[11:41] Kumagiri**
I know nothing about you,
**[11:43] Kumagiri**
but no decent person would
attack a child in a forest.
**[11:48] Rin**
* I first learned of him in*
* an online debate game.*
**[11:51] Rin**
*I thought I was pretty good at the game,*
**[11:55] Rin**
*but Key completely crushed me.*
**[11:58] Rin**
*Ever since, I was a fan of Key.*
**[12:02] Rin**
* From a foreign magazine,*
* I learned that Key's real name*
**[12:05] Rin**
*was Akira Shiroyanagi.*
**[12:08] Rin**
*Key...*
**[12:09] Rin**
* I always wanted to meet the person*
* on the other side of that game.*
**[12:13] Asuka**
Hareka!
**[12:14] Asuka**
I was so worried!
**[12:15] Asuka**
What were you doing?
**[12:17] Hareka**
I wanted to help,
**[12:19] Hareka**
so I went to gather firewood.
**[12:23] Katsuya**
And who are you?
**[12:25] Hareka**
Um...
**[12:27] Hareka**
He saved me, actually.
**[12:29] Akira**
Kumagiri!
**[12:30] Kumagiri**
Akira?
**[12:31] Yuuri**
Hey, it's Kumagiri!
**[12:35] Kumagiri**
Yuuri! You're safe?
**[12:37] Yuuri**
You bet I am!
**[12:39] Akira**
We found each other after all.
**[12:43] Katsuya**
Ya know him?
**[12:45] Yuuri**
Yeah.
**[12:46] Yuuri**
He was on our team in the second program.
**[12:48] Yuuri**
He might be a meathead, but he's nice.
**[12:50] Katsuya**
I'm so sorry!
**[12:53] Katsuya**
Everyone's kind of on edge right now.
**[12:56] Hareka**
I tried to tell you!
**[12:57] Kumagiri**
It's understandable.
**[12:59] Shirasagi**
Are you a friend of Akira's?
**[13:02] Shirasagi**
You're safe here.
**[13:03] Shirasagi**
You can make yourself at home.
**[13:05] Shirasagi**
Though that'll only be for a week.
**[13:08] Mion**
*Bing-bong-bing-bong!*
**[13:10] Mion**
* Sweet li'l Mion has a wonderful*
* announcement for all of you!*
**[13:13] Mion**
* Seven days from now, the existence of the*
* Red and Green teams will be laid on the line!*
**[13:17] Mion**
* We'll be running a battle*
* game called "Hunt the King"*
**[13:21] Mion**
* in which I personally guarantee that*
* everyone on the losing team will die!*
**[13:24] Mion**
*Last-minute entrants are encouraged!*
**[13:27] Mion**
*Let's make this quest fun, everyone!*
**[13:30] Shirasagi**
You heard her.
**[13:32] Shirasagi**
But this quest is also
an opportunity for us.
**[13:35] Shirasagi**
There's a chance that we'll be able to seal
the ability of Team Red's leader, Oogami,
**[13:39] Shirasagi**
whom we couldn't take out
under ordinary conditions.
**[13:42] Shirasagi**
We have a chance to win.
**[13:44] Shirasagi**
Let's at least restore the natural human order!
**[13:47] Shirasagi**
Everyone, help me!
**[13:51] Akira**
*This is what Mion wanted from the start.*
**[13:54] Akira**
*Force the teams out of their stalemate*
**[13:56] Akira**
*and make them fight.*
**[13:57] Akira**
* And while everyone was*
* playing into Mion's hands,*
**[14:01] Akira**
* their sub-leader had the idea to use*
* her to get rid of everyone in his way.*
**[14:06] Akira**
*He's the most dangerous one here.*
**[14:12] Akira**
*In the next seven days...*
**[14:14] Akira**
*What can I do? What* should *I do?*
**[14:18] Ringo**
Excuse me...
**[14:21] Akira**
You're...
**[14:22] Ringo**
I'm Ringo Tatara.
**[14:24] Ringo**
I wanted to show my gratitude.
**[14:26] Ringo**
Thank you so much.
**[14:28] Akira**
Sure.
**[14:29] Akira**
I see you're safe. I'm glad.
**[14:32] Ringo**
It's the second time.
**[14:33] Ringo**
The first time was that unpleasant man...
**[14:37] Akira**
Kirisaki, you mean?
**[14:38] Akira**
I was just teasing him.
**[14:40] Ringo**
And, um...
**[14:43] Ringo**
What are you doing?
**[14:45] Ringo**
You have to tell him!
**[14:46] Ringo**
You're not just here to thank him!
**[14:47] Akira**
Well, I need to think some things over.
**[14:51] Ringo**
Wait! I have to talk to you!
**[14:54] Ringo**
Go for it, Ringo!
**[14:56] Ringo**
Keep cool, like you always do!
**[14:57] Ringo**
Make it clear what a mature woman you are!
**[15:01] Akira**
About what?
**[15:02] Ringo**
Um... well...
**[15:04] Ringo**
First, use small talk to get his guard down!
**[15:07] Ringo**
Then ask about his ability!
**[15:10] Ringo**
W-Well...
**[15:11] Ringo**
It's about your real ability.
**[15:18] Ringo**
*C-Crap!*
**[15:20] Ringo**
What's wrong with you?!
**[15:22] Ringo**
You can't just go there first thing!
**[15:24] Ringo**
Wh-What I just said...
**[15:27] Akira**
Did you just say... my real ability?
**[15:31] Akira**
What did you mean?
**[15:33] Ringo**
*That's right...*
**[15:34] Ringo**
* For both of us, our lives depend*
* on keeping our ability secret.*
**[15:39] Ringo**
*I knew that, and yet...*
**[15:41] Yuuri**
*That's right, I never thanked Akira.*
**[15:44] Yuuri**
*He's the only one who came to save me.*
**[15:48] Yuuri**
*There he is!*
**[15:50] Ringo**
*Stay calm.*
**[15:51] Ringo**
*You can still fix this.*
**[15:53] Ringo**
*My trump card...*
**[15:55] Ringo**
My ability is the ability to
learn another person's ability.
**[16:00] Ringo**
For instance, Mr. Kumagiri's is to become
invincible for two seconds, right?
**[16:14] Akira**
Why are you saying all this to me?
**[16:16] Ringo**
*H-He's so close!*
**[16:18] Ringo**
T-To be more precise...
**[16:20] Ringo**
My ability is the ability to copy the other
person's ability at one-tenth values.
**[16:24] Ringo**
But in the process of using it,
**[16:25] Ringo**
I can learn what the other
person's ability is.
**[16:28] Akira**
And?
**[16:28] Ringo**
This ability... It's almost
useless to me on my own.
**[16:32] Ringo**
I need a partner.
**[16:35] Ringo**
I think your ability is the same way.
**[16:38] Akira**
*Is she serious?*
**[16:41] Akira**
You...
**[16:42] Ringo**
Please, let me be your partner.
**[16:46] Akira**
You were a prisoner of Team Red.
**[16:49] Akira**
Does that mean you know their abilities, too?
**[17:11] Ringo**
*Key... no, Akira.*
**[17:14] Ringo**
* I'm the person most cut*
* out to be your partner.*
**[17:29] Akira**
Good morning.
**[17:30] Akira**
Sorry to ask, but could we
spend the day together?
**[17:33] Yuuri**
Sure. What are we doing?
**[17:36] Akira**
I want to go see Team Blue.
**[17:39] Akira**
I have to talk with Kumagiri a while,
**[17:42] Akira**
so get ready to head out while I do.
**[17:43] Yuuri**
Wait!
**[17:46] Yuuri**
*I don't get it.*
**[17:50] Yuuri**
* I've got no idea what's*
* going through his head.*
**[17:57] Tachibana**
The boss...
**[17:58] Tachibana**
Where's the boss?
**[18:00] Yuuki**
You're the one from the slave hunt.
**[18:02] Tachibana**
Tachibana...
**[18:03] Tachibana**
I was captured by Green...
and managed to escape.
**[18:07] Tachibana**
There's something I need
to tell the boss at once!
**[18:11] Kuroiwa**
*I can imagine what Shirasagi will do.*
**[18:14] Kuroiwa**
*The quintuple girl is no issue.*
**[18:16] Kuroiwa**
*The real issue is that boy.*
**[18:20] Mitsuru**
Rin! We brought you some water!
**[18:22] Rin**
Oh, thanks so much!
**[18:24] Renka**
Oh, Mitsuru!
**[18:26] Renka**
I wonder what you could be doing...
**[18:28] Mitsuru**
R-Renka!
**[18:31] Mitsuru**
You're back?
**[18:33] Renka**
I was told to participate
in tomorrow's quest.
**[18:36] Renka**
It's like you're all
hopeless without me here!
**[18:40] Mitsuru**
W-We really are!
**[18:42] Renka**
Hey, Mitsuru! Who's this here?
**[18:45] Rin**
My name is Rin Kashii.
**[18:47] Rin**
I arrived a few days ago.
**[18:49] Rin**
It's a pleasu—
**[18:52] Renka**
Who told you to speak?
**[18:55] Renka**
You old whore...
**[18:57] Mitsuru**
*Not good.*
**[18:58] Mitsuru**
*Renka's cattiness reveals itself!*
**[19:00] Renka**
Why aren't you a slave?
**[19:03] Renka**
You moved in while I was out,
huh, ya little minx?
**[19:06] Renka**
Better get outta my sight if
you don't wanna die, ugly.
**[19:11] Rin**
I'm so sorry.
**[19:13] Rin**
I'll be more careful in the future,
**[19:14] Rin**
Renka dear.
**[19:17] Renka**
I'll murder you!
**[19:19] Kuroiwa**
Keep it down, Renka.
**[19:21] Kuroiwa**
Too much noise.
**[19:22] Renka**
Master Masaya!
**[19:24] Renka**
Your darling Renka has returned!
**[19:26] Renka**
Do you have a present for me?
**[19:29] Renka**
I'd love your knife of love!
**[19:31] Kuroiwa**
I said to keep it down.
**[19:32] Toyoda**
If he called Renka here, that means...
**[19:38] Kamui**
Oh, hey, Kuro.
**[19:40] Kuroiwa**
Let me precede by saying,
**[19:42] Kuroiwa**
Kamui, don't make trouble here.
**[19:44] Mitsuru**
M-Mr. Kamui...
**[19:46] Mitsuru**
May I take your skateboard?
**[19:47] Kamui**
No need.
**[19:52] Kamui**
Unnecessary toys are broken
down and disposed of.
**[19:55] Kamui**
That's how I do things.
**[20:01] Yuuki**
Masaya!
**[20:03] Kuroiwa**
Yuuki?
**[20:04] Kuroiwa**
Where's Rindou?
**[20:05] Yuuki**
Um...
**[20:06] Yuuki**
He took a bunch of the surplus hostages...
**[20:13] Yuuki**
To test his sword for the upcoming battle.
**[20:17] Kuroiwa**
Very well.
**[20:19] Kuroiwa**
You'll be my pawns in the
upcoming battle quest.
**[20:23] Kuroiwa**
Just do as I tell you,
and kill anyone you come across.
**[20:28] Kuroiwa**
Kill everyone you meet with your abilities!
**[20:32] Yuuki**
Oh, Masaya!
**[20:34] Yuuki**
This guy was captured by Green and escaped.
**[20:38] Tachibana**
The spy you have in Green helped me escape.
**[20:41] Tachibana**
With a message.
**[20:43] Kuroiwa**
What is it?
**[20:44] Tachibana**
They apparently saw the moment the
cannon-user killed the giant ghoul.
**[20:49] Tachibana**
Though you probably couldn't see it.
**[20:52] Tachibana**
The child should have been
killed in the attack.
**[20:55] Tachibana**
But he was fine for some reason.
**[20:57] Tachibana**
And the next instant, he fired off his cannon.
**[21:00] Tachibana**
That's the message.
**[21:08] Kuroiwa**
Playing with ghouls again, Ichi?
**[21:11] Oogami**
Takes me back to old times.
**[21:14] Kuroiwa**
I'm going to change the
plan for battle slightly.
**[21:17] Kuroiwa**
Do you remember Akira Shiroyanagi?
**[21:21] Kuroiwa**
I mentioned that he probably had
something other than the cannon...
**[21:26] Kuroiwa**
And I was right.
**[21:28] Kuroiwa**
His cannon is a fake out.
**[21:30] Kuroiwa**
His real ability isn't the cannon.

**[00:00] Yuuri**
Why are we going to see Team Blue?
**[00:03] Akira**
To negotiate.
**[00:05] Akira**
I felt we had nothing to lose.
**[00:07] Akira**
And...
**[00:08] Yuuri**
And?
**[00:11] Akira**
I wanted to be alone with you here.
**[00:16] Akira**
Yuuri...
**[00:17] Akira**
I want to feel it.
***SIGN*** Episode 8 "Guardian"
**[01:51] Akira**
I-I give up!
**[01:53] Akira**
I can't use this ability!
**[01:56] Yuuri**
What's wrong?
**[01:57] Yuuri**
It's my ability, so I'm sure
I visualized it properly!
**[02:00] Akira**
Well, I definitely activated
your quintuple ability.
**[02:05] Akira**
But it's hard for me to move right with it.
**[02:09] Akira**
It feels like my body isn't my own anymore.
**[02:11] Akira**
It makes sense, I suppose.
**[02:12] Akira**
It's like an amateur placed
behind the wheel of an F1 car.
**[02:16] Akira**
I suspect that's the ability's weak point.
**[02:18] Yuuri**
Then how come I can use it?
**[02:20] Akira**
You might be an exception.
**[02:22] Akira**
A prodigy, in a way.
**[02:24] Yuuri**
A prodigy?
**[02:25] Yuuri**
Oh... is that it?
**[02:28] Yuuri**
I'm a prodigy?
**[02:30] Akira**
* More like she moves on*
* pure animal instinct.*
**[02:34] Akira**
*It luckily worked out before, but...*
**[02:37] Yuuri**
Let you teleport?
**[02:41] Akira**
We can't afford to do something
that risky in the upcoming battle.
**[02:44] Akira**
We have to research in advance what kinds
of abilities I can reliably activate.
**[02:48] Yuuri**
I'm not the smartest,
**[02:50] Yuuri**
so I doubt I can memorize and visualize
a bunch of abilities on the spot.
**[02:53] Akira**
You're right.
**[02:55] Akira**
We'll have to limit ourselves to one or two
that we can communicate with simple signals.
**[02:59] Akira**
*The first candidate has to be...*
**[03:02] Akira**
Listen.
**[03:03] Akira**
Can you imagine me transforming
into anything?
**[03:07] Yuuri**
Into anything?
**[03:08] Yuuri**
I'm not exactly sure how to visualize that.
**[03:11] Akira**
Good point.
**[03:12] Akira**
It's harder without specificity, isn't it?
**[03:14] Akira**
In that case... I'll walk behind that tree.
**[03:18] Akira**
Then I'll transform into someone
you imagine, and reappear.
**[03:23] Akira**
You can do that, right?
**[03:24] Yuuri**
Someone?
**[03:29] Akira**
If you can imagine a specific someone...
**[03:42] Akira**
Did it work?
**[03:43] Yuuri**
Aki...ra?
**[03:46] Akira**
This confirms it.
**[03:47] Akira**
If you can picture the person clearly,
I can transform into them.
**[03:51] Akira**
But you can't visualize a more
ambiguous condition like "anyone."
**[03:57] Akira**
By the way, who did I become?
**[04:01] Akira**
Why did you choose her?
**[04:03] Yuuri**
Oh... no particular reason.
**[04:05] Akira**
Did you see me with her yesterday?
**[04:10] Akira**
I see.
**[04:11] Akira**
I thought so.
**[04:13] Akira**
I planned to explain it
to you later, of course.
**[04:15] Yuuri**
You don't owe me an explanation.
**[04:18] Akira**
Actually, I do.
**[04:21] Akira**
She figured out my ability.
**[04:24] Akira**
I didn't have any choice but to
take her into my confidence.
**[04:27] Akira**
She came to me with an offer to work
together in exchange for her discretion.
**[04:31] Yuuri**
H-How'd she figure it out?
**[04:33] Akira**
I can't tell you that.
**[04:35] Akira**
But she gave me a set of conditions.
**[04:38] Akira**
One was that I tell you about it.
**[04:41] Yuuri**
How come?
**[04:43] Akira**
If I killed Tatara to silence her,
**[04:46] Akira**
then you, knowing the same things
she does, would stop trusting me.
**[04:49] Akira**
It's a form of insurance for her.
**[04:52] Akira**
The other condition was that
I wouldn't tell you her ability.
**[04:57] Yuuri**
How come? That seems kind of...
**[04:59] Akira**
I appreciate how you feel,
**[05:01] Akira**
but we shouldn't expect
mutual trust off the bat.
**[05:04] Akira**
I don't trust her, either.
**[05:06] Akira**
When we get back,
**[05:07] Akira**
talk to her and give me your impressions.
**[05:11] Akira**
You're the only person I can trust.
**[05:20] Kirisaki**
Hey, they made it through alive!
**[05:23] Yuuri**
Akira, over there!
**[05:32] Iori**
Ah, I'm tired. Huh?
**[05:35] Iori**
Hey, girl. You're cute.
**[05:39] Iori**
Big tits, too.
**[05:40] Aoi**
Leader!
**[05:42] Iori**
Yeah, yeah.
**[05:43] Iori**
You're envoys from Green, right?
**[05:46] Iori**
I'm kind of Blue's leader, Omoto.
**[05:49] Iori**
How can I help you?
**[05:51] Akira**
We're Akira Shiroyanagi and Yuuri Amagake.
**[05:54] Akira**
We want you to pass a
message on to your team.
**[05:57] Iori**
Yes?
**[05:58] Akira**
Green and Red are about to embark
on a massive battle quest.
**[06:03] Akira**
The rules allow anyone to join
Green's side who wants to.
**[06:06] Akira**
I want to recruit from Team Blue.
**[06:10] Iori**
So it's about that announcement yesterday?
**[06:12] Iori**
You're Akira, right?
**[06:15] Iori**
Didn't your leader tell you about us?
**[06:17] Makuri**
Our team is made up of those who don't
want any part of your little war.
**[06:24] Aoi**
Yet you want us to get involved in your fight?
**[06:27] Aoi**
You must be stupid or something.
**[06:28] Yuuri**
Akira...
**[06:29] Akira**
I'll pay 200 points to each participant.
**[06:31] Akira**
As an incentive.
***SIGN*** Point Management & Information
**[06:34] Akira**
And I'll give 500 points to anyone who
steals an interface from Team Red.
***SIGN*** Point Management & Information
**[06:38] Akira**
How about now?
**[06:39] Makuri**
500 points?!
**[06:41] Aoi**
You'd have to complete several major
quests to earn an amount like that!
**[06:45] Akira**
I suspect you're all low on points.
**[06:48] Akira**
We wanted to pool our points
to recruit you as mercenaries.
**[06:54] Akira**
Tell them that.
**[06:55] Iori**
Oh...
**[06:57] Iori**
It certainly is a tempting offer,
**[07:00] Iori**
but I can't pass it on to my team.
**[07:03] Akira**
Why not?
**[07:04] Iori**
I mean, it only pays off
if Team Green wins, right?
**[07:08] Iori**
You expect us to believe you can win
when you're that desperate for aid?
**[07:13] Iori**
It simply doesn't add up.
**[07:14] Akira**
Well—
**[07:15] Iori**
But...
**[07:17] Iori**
If you'll accept my personal offer,
**[07:20] Iori**
I'll tell them about your
mercenary business.
**[07:23] Akira**
What's your offer?
**[07:24] Iori**
Let me have her,
**[07:26] Iori**
and I'll happily convince
our membership to join you.
**[07:31] Aoi**
Omoto!
**[07:32] Yuuri**
Don't be stu—
**[07:33] Akira**
We can't do it. I refuse.
**[07:35] Yuuri**
Akira...
**[07:37] Iori**
Oh?
**[07:38] Iori**
That was fast.
**[07:39] Iori**
She's your girlfriend, then?
**[07:42] Iori**
But is she really worth the ten or twenty
additions I could send to your side?
**[07:47] Akira**
She is.
**[07:50] Akira**
Ten or twenty standard ability users
can't match Yuuri's value.
**[07:55] Akira**
If you want Yuuri,
**[07:56] Akira**
your offer should be that *you* join
the fight and do just as I tell you.
**[08:01] Makuri**
What?!
**[08:02] Makuri**
What's the matter with you?
**[08:03] Akira**
Iori Omoto...
**[08:05] Akira**
I heard that you once racked up incredible
amounts of points in a certain quest.
**[08:10] Akira**
You could theoretically be
an even trade for Yuuri.
**[08:14] Iori**
You're saying she has an
ability on par with mine?
**[08:19] Iori**
Then you might really have
a chance at victory.
**[08:22] Akira**
We're not desperate for aid.
**[08:24] Akira**
I just wanted to let you in on a good offer.
**[08:27] Iori**
Fine.
**[08:29] Iori**
Then I'll pass the word
on to our membership.
**[08:31] Iori**
My way of apologizing for my stupid offer.
**[08:34] Akira**
So you're not going to participate?
**[08:37] Iori**
No.
**[08:38] Iori**
I don't like sticking my neck out.
**[08:40] Iori**
And Akira...
**[08:42] Iori**
No matter what you try to do,
**[08:44] Iori**
it's very clear
**[08:46] Iori**
how that "battle quest" of
yours is going to turn out.
**[08:54] Iori**
Gonna get home to bed.
**[08:58] Yuuri**
What's his problem?
**[09:00] Yuuri**
Are you sure that was the best outcome?
**[09:03] Kirisaki**
Nah, that was a huge failure!
**[09:06] Kirisaki**
After coming this far out...
**[09:10] Kirisaki**
Idiots.
**[09:12] Yuuri**
Hey, it's Kirisaki!
**[09:14] Akira**
How long have you been there?
**[09:15] Kirisaki**
You didn't notice me until now?!
**[09:18] Yuuri**
Sorry!
**[09:18] Akira**
So you joined Team Blue, did you?
**[09:21] Kirisaki**
Akira.
**[09:22] Kirisaki**
I've been waiting for a chance
to get a rematch with you.
**[09:25] Kirisaki**
I'm gonna join Red to fight you.
**[09:28] Kirisaki**
I'm not here to help you, but to
become your ultimate enemy!
**[09:33] Akira**
I see.
**[09:34] Akira**
But I'm not particularly bothered
by the thought of fighting you.
**[09:37] Akira**
Go ahead and join Team Red.
**[09:39] Akira**
See you in the battle!
**[09:42] Kirisaki**
Hey, hang on!
**[09:43] Kirisaki**
I'm serious, okay?!
**[09:45] Yuuri**
You sure about this, Akira?
**[09:46] Akira**
It's fine. Let's get back.
**[09:48] Kirisaki**
Hey! You'll regret this, damn it!
**[09:50] Kirisaki**
Akira!
**[09:59] Akira**
We made it just in time.
**[10:00] Yuuri**
Boy, I'm tired.
**[10:02] Shima**
You're late. We were worried.
**[10:04] Akira**
Sorry, Shima.
**[10:06] Joushima**
What were you doing out there?
**[10:08] Yuuri**
Picked up some things from the trading post.
**[10:10] Yuuri**
See?
**[10:11] Yuuri**
Look at all this beef!
**[10:14] Joushima**
You sure that's all you were doing?
**[10:16] Yuuri**
What are you getting at?
**[10:17] Joushima**
The secret's out.
**[10:19] Joushima**
You two've been heading out every day.
**[10:21] Yuuri**
So what?!
**[10:22] Joushima**
What would a young man and woman
be doing in the woods all alone?
**[10:26] Joushima**
I can think of a few things!
**[10:29] Joushima**
Hey, watch it!
**[10:30] Joushima**
That was a quintuple punch!
**[10:32] Yuuri**
Tch! Teleportation again!
**[10:34] Joushima**
Akira! Leader wants to see you!
**[10:36] Yuuri**
Wait, you!
**[10:37] Akira**
The leader?
**[10:41] Shirasagi**
They want to participate
in the battle quest.
**[10:46] Akira**
You realize it's going
to be dangerous, though.
**[10:49] Momoko**
At least let us support you as medics!
**[10:53] Slave**
We heard the girl with the glasses who
was caught by Red was participating.
**[10:57] Slave**
So we want to do the same.
**[10:58] Slave**
We want the Reds to pay.
**[11:01] Shirasagi**
I understand how they feel.
**[11:04] Shirasagi**
Do you agree that it would
be good to have medics?
**[11:07] Akira**
If you believe so...
**[11:09] Shirasagi**
They won't hold us back.
**[11:12] Shirasagi**
A desire to protect another
makes a person strong.
**[11:15] Shirasagi**
That's the difference
between us and Team Red.
**[11:19] Momoko**
Yuuto!
**[11:20] Momoko**
Thank you so much!
**[11:30] Man**
Here, Yuuri!
**[11:32] Yuuri**
Yes!
**[11:33] Katsuya**
Tomorrow's the day, eh?
**[11:35] Akira**
We'll be fine.
**[11:36] Akira**
We've done all we can.
**[11:38] Yuuri**
That's right!
**[11:39] Yuuri**
We're gonna give 'em some real payback!
**[11:41] Yuuri**
Right, Akira?
**[11:42] Akira**
Yes.
**[11:46] Ringo**
Excuse me, Akira.
**[11:48] Ringo**
Regarding what we discussed...
**[11:49] Akira**
Understood.
**[11:59] Hareka**
You're going to fight for us?
**[12:01] Hareka**
But it's so dangerous...
**[12:03] Kumagiri**
Akira and Yuuri are my partners.
**[12:05] Kumagiri**
Under the circumstances, I have to help.
**[12:08] Kumagiri**
And...
**[12:09] Kumagiri**
You and I are proper friends, aren't we?
**[12:12] Hareka**
Thank you, sir!
**[12:20] Katsuya**
Are ya sure...
**[12:22] Katsuya**
Are ya sure ya should fight, Asuka?
**[12:24] Asuka**
Katsuya...
**[12:26] Asuka**
Of course I'm going to fight.
**[12:29] Asuka**
For my child's sake.
**[12:31] Asuka**
That's being a mother!
**[12:32] Katsuya**
Asuka...
**[12:34] Katsuya**
I h-have to tell ya how I feel—
**[12:37] Joushima**
There you are, Katsuya!
**[12:38] Joushima**
Come drinkin' with us!
**[12:41] Yuuri**
You borrowed more books from our leader?
**[12:43] Akira**
Yes.
**[12:44] Akira**
I've done all I can do for now.
**[12:48] Yuuri**
The stars are pretty amazing out here.
**[12:50] Akira**
They really are.
**[13:04] Man In Black**
The quest area that includes
these five towers
**[13:08] Man In Black**
is the stage for the "Hunt the King" quest.
**[13:10] Shirasagi**
I'm shocked.
**[13:12] Shirasagi**
You were right about this being the venue!
**[13:16] Shirasagi**
You and Yuuri's little
expeditions have paid off.
**[13:21] Akira**
Then we can use the plan we concocted on
the assumption that we'd be fighting here.
**[13:25] Shirasagi**
You've given us another advantage.
**[13:28] Shirasagi**
Well done!
**[13:30] Man In Black**
Additional rules will be
added before we begin.
**[13:32] Man In Black**

**[13:36] Mion**
* This is the instruction manual for*

**[13:40] Mion**
* Complete the quest by*

**[13:43] Mion**
* Each interface you steal*
* gets you one Mion Point!*
**[13:47] Mion**

*and you can't use your abilities anymore!*
**[14:01] Mion**
*Be careful, dead folks!*
**[14:04] Mion**
*And there's one additional rule:*
**[14:06] Mion**
* There's an interface station on*
* each of the area's five towers.*
**[14:10] Mion**
*If you place your interface on the station,*
**[14:11] Mion**

Thank you.
**[14:57] Mion**
*Ladies and gentlemen...*
**[15:00] Mion**
* The large-scale quest,*
* "Hunt the King," will now begin!*
**[15:06] Shirasagi**
Our first goal is to take the towers!
**[15:08] Shirasagi**
Secure at least three towers
and guard them with your life!
**[15:12] Shirasagi**
We need to seal the power of Oogami,
Red's king and wild card!
**[15:17] Shirasagi**
If we predict our opponent's strategy and
create an advantage, we will be victorious!
**[15:22] Shirasagi**
And one other thing...
**[15:23] Shirasagi**
I want to thank you all for
staying with me all this time.
**[15:27] Shirasagi**
Thanks to all of you, I've been able to believe
**[15:31] Shirasagi**
that I'm here for a purpose.
**[15:34] Shirasagi**
Thank you.
**[15:37] Katsuya**
Okay!
**[15:39] Katsuya**
Let's beat down those Red villains!
**[15:41] Katsuya**
Let's go, guys!
**[15:42] All**
Yeah!
**[15:46] Yuuri**
Let's get in there too!
**[15:50] Ringo**
*Akira...*
**[15:52] Akira**
* This is an extension of the first*
* and second battles in a way,*
**[15:56] Akira**
*but there's one clear difference.*
**[15:57] Akira**
* Everyone's participating with*
* separate beliefs and ideals.*
**[16:02] Akira**
*Is this what you wanted to see?*
**[16:05] Akira**
*In that case...*
**[16:06] Akira**
*I'll show it to you.*
**[16:10] Joushima**
*No sign of any Reds.*
**[16:13] Shirasagi**
Understood.
**[16:15] Shirasagi**
Please continue scouting.
**[16:17] Shima**
The towers' ten points...
**[16:19] Shima**
We only have them while our
terminal's connected, right?
**[16:23] Shirasagi**
If we want to use fifty points,
we'll need to control multiple towers at once.
**[16:28] Shirasagi**
Yet I can't actually
participate in the fight...
**[16:31] Shima**
There's no need for us to
put you on the front lines.
**[16:34] Shima**
If our king dies, it's over!
**[16:38] Katsuya**
Team Saitou has secured the first tower!
**[16:42] Shima**
That's Katsuya!
**[16:44] Katsuya**
We'll hold this ground with our lives!
**[16:46] Team**
Yeah!
**[16:47] Katsuya**
* In a territory control game,*
* we have the numbers advantage!*
**[16:51] Katsuya**
* Red's generals all have*
* dangerous abilities...*
**[16:54] Katsuya**
* But their leader, Oogami, is both*
* their most valuable piece,*
**[16:58] Katsuya**
*and also their king.*
**[17:00] Katsuya**
* That's the difference between him*
* and Yuuri, our own wild card.*
**[17:03] Katsuya**
* The difference in when that card gets played*
* will change the course of this battle!*
**[17:08] Asuka**
Katsuya! Well done!
**[17:10] Katsuya**
Asuka!
**[17:11] Asuka**
I think we can secure this tower too!
**[17:13] Asuka**
No sign of Reds!
**[17:18] Asuka**
Secure the tower, quickly!
**[17:21] Asuka**
*Something's coming this way.*
**[17:30] Asuka**
Run, everyone!
**[17:35] Asuka**
*It can't be...*
**[17:37] Asuka**
*I thought he was their king!*
**[17:39] Asuka**
*What's he doing here?*
**[17:41] Katsuya**
Asuka!
**[17:43] Katsuya**
What's going on?!
**[17:44] Oogami**
Did you expect me to stay
in hiding like Shirasagi?
**[17:50] Oogami**
The king hunts and purges *you*.
**[17:53] Oogami**
That's what the game's about!
**[17:56] Asuka**
*Oogami's appeared on his own...*
***SIGN*** Call in Progress
**[17:58] Asuka**
*But my allies know the situation.*
**[18:00] Asuka**
* I'm sure they'll come,*
* bringing Yuuri with them.*
**[18:03] Asuka**
*If I can hold him until then...*
**[18:05] Asuka**
*We win!*
**[18:07] Oogami**
I'm gonna kill you all no matter what,
**[18:09] Oogami**
but if you're gonna insist,
**[18:10] Oogami**
let's have a little fun.
**[18:18] Oogami**
You wield that heavy sword
like it's nothing.
**[18:21] Oogami**
Is that your ability?
**[18:23] Oogami**
But what good will a minor
power like that do you?
**[18:35] Oogami**
What's wrong?
**[18:36] Oogami**
Finished already?
**[18:37] Asuka**
*He's mocking me!*
**[18:42] Oogami**
Oh? What kind of simple attack is that?
**[18:46] Oogami**
At least put a little spin on it.
**[18:48] Asuka**
I *did* put a spin on it.
**[18:50] Asuka**
I thought if I dished out a
simple attack, you'd grab my sword.
**[19:00] Asuka**
My ability is to control
the weight of my sword!
***SIGN*** <>
Ms. Asuka Kiryuu
Your ability is
"To turn a stick into
a sword whose weight
you can control freely."
**[19:03] Asuka**
I can make it as light as a feather,
**[19:05] Asuka**
or so heavy that no one can ever hold it!
**[19:23] Oogami**
So you weren't wielding a
heavy sword effortlessly...
**[19:25] Oogami**
You were controlling the sword's weight?
**[19:29] Oogami**
You really put one over on me.
**[19:31] Oogami**
I like you.
**[19:36] Oogami**
Take it.
**[19:39] Oogami**
Turn it back into a sword and keep fighting.
**[19:41] Oogami**
Your allies will be here soon, won't they?
**[19:44] Oogami**
I'll play with you until then.
***SIGN*** Call in Progress
**[19:47] Shirasagi**
Impossible!
**[19:48] Shima**
Oogami's appeared already?
**[19:50] Shima**
And he's alone?!
**[19:51] Shirasagi**
*This is an obvious trap!*
**[19:53] Shirasagi**
*But even knowing Kuroiwa...*
**[19:56] Shirasagi**
* Would he really use his*
* partner Oogami, their king,*
**[19:58] Shirasagi**
*as a decoy?!*
**[20:00] Pompadour**
Asuka's team is fighting Oogami.
**[20:03] Pompadour**
Let's go join them!
**[20:04] Pompadour**
Kumagiri, watch after Hareka.
**[20:06] Pompadour**
We need her ability to change the flow of
air to erect a barrier around our base here.
**[20:12] Kumagiri**
Take care.
**[20:16] Hareka**
Sir!
**[20:17] Kumagiri**
Don't worry.
**[20:19] Kumagiri**
I'll protect you, I promise.
**[20:21] Hareka**
It's not that...
**[20:22] Hareka**
Someone's coming from that direction!
**[20:25] Kumagiri**
Hareka, stay here.
**[20:28] Katsuya**
Hurry!
**[20:29] Katsuya**
We've got to get to Asuka as fast as we can!
**[20:38] Kamui**
Oh, you survived that?
**[20:46] Kamui**
Today's not your lucky day...
**[20:49] Kamui**
Since you ran into me.
**[20:57] Renka**
Today, Renka the artist is feeling...
**[21:01] Renka**
Like an army battalion mowing down infantry!
**[21:10] Masakado**
Akira Shiroyanagi... Where are you?
**[21:27] Rin**
I've missed you so.
**[21:30] Rin**
Shall we begin?

I've missed you so.
**[00:05] Fb**
Shall we begin?
**[00:08] Akira**
Yes.
**[00:09] Akira**
Let's begin the proposed exchange.
***SIGN*** Episode 9 "Iron Maiden"
**[01:43] Rin**
I accept your terms.
**[01:45] Rin**
Trade complete.
**[01:48] Rin**
Look at you, jumping at shadows!
**[01:51] Rin**
If I wanted to do *that*,
it would already be done.
**[01:53] Akira**
I'm not about to give you an opening.
**[01:56] Akira**
I still don't know how your ability works.
**[01:58] Rin**
Then we're in the same boat.
**[02:01] Rin**
I'm using every resource I have to survive.
**[02:05] Rin**
You're the same way, aren't you?
**[02:07] Rin**
You're using Team Green to
achieve your objectives.
**[02:11] Rin**
You're using me, too.
**[02:14] Rin**
And what about that charming girl, Yuuri?
**[02:16] Rin**
Wasn't she supposed to be with you?
**[02:19] Akira**
It's none of your business.
**[02:20] Rin**
Well, then...
**[02:21] Rin**
If there's an empty spot by your side,
**[02:24] Rin**
why not give me a trial run?
**[02:26] Rin**
I can offer you much more than she can.
**[02:31] Akira**
I only came here to make that exchange.
**[02:33] Rin**
A pity.
**[02:41] Rin**
Hello?
**[02:42] Rin**
I found Akira Shiroyanagi,
the one you're after.
**[02:48] Kumagiri**
*Hareka's right.*
**[02:51] Kumagiri**
*Someone's coming.*
**[02:56] Kumagiri**
No one there?
**[02:57] Yuuki**
Boy, you scared me!
**[03:00] Kumagiri**
*I was sure he was in grappling range...*
**[03:03] Kumagiri**
*Is that his ability?*
**[03:05] Yuuki**
Say, could you tell me where
I might find the rest of your team?
**[03:10] Yuuki**
I asked the last group I encountered,
**[03:12] Yuuki**
but even after all I did,
they just wouldn't tell me!
**[03:19] Kumagiri**
You...
**[03:20] Kumagiri**
What did you do to them?!
**[03:22] Yuuki**
What did I do?
**[03:26] Kumagiri**
The cuff is shrinking?
**[03:31] Yuuki**
I took them out more or less like that.
**[03:34] Kumagiri**
Then your ability...
**[03:36] Yuuki**
Yes!
**[03:37] Yuuki**
My ability is to shrink things.
***SIGN*** <>
Mr. Yuuki Setoguchi
Your ability is
"The ability to shrink things."
**[03:41] Yuuki**
Oh, heck.
**[03:42] Yuuki**
I keep running my mouth, don't I?
**[03:45] Yuuki**
What an awful habit!
**[03:47] Yuuki**
But you're already dead, so it's no big.
**[03:50] Kumagiri**
What?
**[03:53] Kumagiri**
*A string?*
**[03:54] Kumagiri**
*No...*
**[03:55] Yuuki**
Shrink.
**[04:00] Yuuki**
And off goes the hand!
**[04:03] Kumagiri**
Damn you...
**[04:04] Kumagiri**
Is this what you did to them?
**[04:06] Yuuki**
If your teammate was in trouble,
**[04:08] Yuuki**
you'd all go scamper to their aid.
**[04:10] Yuuki**
That's just what we were waiting for!
**[04:12] Yuuki**
Poor stupid babies!
**[04:14] Kumagiri**
You really do run your mouth...
**[04:16] Kumagiri**
You sadist.
**[04:17] Yuuki**
There I go again!
**[04:19] Kumagiri**
If there's one thing I hate,
**[04:21] Kumagiri**
it's people talking like a match is over.
**[04:23] Yuuki**
Oh, but it is!
**[04:25] Kumagiri**
I don't agree.
**[04:27] Kumagiri**
And...
**[04:28] Yuuki**
And?
**[04:29] Kumagiri**
You don't know them.
**[04:32] Yuuki**
Huh?
**[04:35] Oogami**
I baited the trap.
**[04:36] Oogami**
Why haven't the Greens shown?
**[04:38] Oogami**
Did you arrange this, Kuro?
**[04:40] Kuroiwa**
*Yes.*
**[04:41] Oogami**
You said I could have my way!
**[04:42] Oogami**
*You said I could have my way!*
**[04:44] Kuroiwa**
And you're having it.
**[04:46] Kuroiwa**
* But I'm also free to use*
* you to serve my own ends.*
**[04:50] Oogami**
Damn him!
**[04:52] Oogami**
If you're worthless as bait,
I don't need you at all.
**[04:56] Oogami**
Say goodbye.
**[04:57] Asuka**
I'll see you in hell,
**[05:00] Asuka**
you bastard.
**[05:01] Oogami**
Hell?
**[05:02] Oogami**
Yeah, right.
**[05:04] Oogami**
We're already there!
**[05:05] Oogami**
Bye-bye now.
**[05:07] Asuka**
Everyone...
**[05:09] Asuka**
I'm sorry.
**[05:10] Asuka**
Take care
**[05:12] Asuka**
of Taro!
**[05:23] Asuka**
See that, Kuro?
**[05:24] Asuka**
I got what I wanted!
**[05:27] Kumagiri**
You don't know those two.
**[05:32] Kumagiri**
The fight's just getting started, scum.
**[05:35] Yuuri**
Asuka is a mother.
**[05:40] Yuuri**
She's a really good mother.
**[05:42] Yuuri**
She does everything for Taro.
**[05:46] Oogami**
Then after I murder her,
**[05:49] Oogami**
I'll send the kid to join her.
**[06:03] Oogami**
*The way she's moving...*
**[06:06] Yuuri**
*A plan to counter Oogami?*
**[06:08] (Flashback) Akira**
Yes.
**[06:09] (Flashback) Akira**
If you both have quintupled abilities,
**[06:11] (Flashback) Akira**
you won't beat him with force.
**[06:13] (Flashback) Akira**
So we'll counter with agility.
**[06:15] Akira**
*So we'll counter with agility.*
**[06:20] Oogami**
*Making do with hit-and-run tactics?*
**[06:23] Oogami**
*How boring...*
**[06:27] Oogami**
And stupid!
**[06:31] Oogami**
I just have to catch you,
**[06:33] Oogami**
and it's over!
**[06:36] (Flashback) Oogami**
That's what Oogami will
be thinking, at least.
**[06:39] (Flashback) Oogami**
But I've learned that when
a person grabs another,
**[06:43] (Flashback) Oogami**
the first instinct is to pull in.
**[06:45] Oogami**
*Therefore...*
**[06:46] Yuuri**
You're the stupid one here!
**[06:49] Akira**
*Use that moment to land a counterblow.*
**[06:55] Yuuri**
And you deserve way more than that!
**[07:07] Yuuri**
Learned your lesson yet, stupid?!
**[07:12] Oogami**
Hey, Kuro...
**[07:16] Oogami**
This is interesting.
**[07:17] Oogami**
I don't think Kuro understands this,
**[07:20] Oogami**
but I really do want my answer!
**[07:23] Yuuri**
Sounds good to me.
**[07:27] Kuroiwa**
That's right, Ichi.
**[07:29] Kuroiwa**
I want you to find it...
**[07:31] Kuroiwa**
Our kingdom.
**[07:34] Kuroiwa**
It's almost time
**[07:36] Kuroiwa**
for our surprise to pay off.
**[07:40] Shirasagi**
Kuroiwa will think things are
proceeding according to plan.
**[07:44] Shirasagi**
But he won't have realized it yet.
**[07:48] Shirasagi**
We've already caught his spy!
**[07:51] Shirasagi**
I'm told it was your ability
that located them.
**[07:54] Ringo**
Y-Yes...
**[07:55] Ringo**
Akira asked me to find out if any of the
slaves were lying about their abilities.
**[08:02] Shirasagi**
So he suspected it from the start?
**[08:05] Shirasagi**
I want to use their trap against them.
**[08:08] Shima**
It's no use.
**[08:08] Shima**
He's not talking.
**[08:11] Ringo**
E-Excuse me...
**[08:13] Ringo**
I could clean you up and
patch up your wounds.
**[08:16] Spy**
You...
**[08:17] Spy**
Why fight this losing battle
instead of running away?
**[08:20] Ringo**
We don't know it's a losing battle.
**[08:22] Spy**
You know what they're capable of.
**[08:25] Spy**
They'll kill all of you.
**[08:27] Spy**
And me, for screwing up.
**[08:28] Ringo**
Someone I care about deeply is here.
**[08:32] Ringo**
So although I'm afraid,
I'm going to stay here.
**[08:35] Spy**
Are you stupid or something?
**[08:37] Spy**
He'll die, too!
**[08:39] Ringo**
We'll win!
**[08:40] Ringo**
Because he's Key!
**[08:42] Spy**
Key?
**[08:43] Ringo**
Yes!
**[08:44] Ringo**
See, there was this game
called *World Logic Play*.
**[08:47] Ringo**
It was a forum for online debates.
**[08:47] Spy**
*What's with this girl? Why...*
**[08:49] Ringo**
He was really good at it—
**[08:50] Spy**
Enough!
**[08:53] Ringo**
S-Sorry.
**[08:54] Ringo**
I keep talking about myself.
**[08:57] Spy**
Wait.
**[08:59] Spy**
I'll talk, too.
**[09:01] Spy**
Could you bring me a glass of water?
**[09:03] Spy**
I can ask for that much, can't I?
**[09:05] Ringo**
S-Sure!
**[09:08] Shirasagi**
You think you can convince him?
**[09:10] Ringo**
Yes.
**[09:11] Ringo**
Just give me a little time.
**[09:13] Shirasagi**
Okay. I'll leave it to you.
**[09:15] Ringo**
Sure!
**[09:18] Shirasagi**
Hareka?
**[09:25] Ringo**
N-No...
**[09:26] Ringo**
What happened?
**[09:29] Shirasagi**
What?
**[09:30] Shirasagi**
Enemies heading for the camp?
**[09:32] Shirasagi**
*Why?*
**[09:33] Shirasagi**
*We captured the spy before we set up camp.*
**[09:35] Shirasagi**
*There's no way they could—*
**[09:38] Both**
*There's another spy!*
**[09:41] Momoko**
*I'm sorry to have lied for so long.*
**[09:45] Momoko**
*But I didn't have a choice.*
**[09:48] Momoko**
*It's for the boys.*
**[09:52] Kuroiwa**
Don't screw it up, old lady.
**[09:57] Yuuri**
Oogami's after Asuka!
**[10:00] Yuuri**
We've got to help her!
**[10:02] Akira**
No. We can't do that.
**[10:04] Yuuri**
Why the hell not?
**[10:05] Akira**
We need to meet with Rin Kashii first.
**[10:08] Akira**
Our current target is Kuroiwa,
the brains of Red.
**[10:12] Yuuri**
But what about Asuka?
**[10:13] Akira**
The others will be heading her way.
**[10:15] Yuuri**
But—
**[10:16] Akira**
They all knew what they were getting into.
**[10:20] Yuuri**
If anything happens to Asuka...
what happens to Taro?
**[10:23] Akira**
Wait, Yuuri!
**[10:25] Akira**
To defeat him, I need a partner.
**[10:27] Akira**
I need you!
**[10:28] Yuuri**
Then work with Ringo!
**[10:31] Yuuri**
I bet the things you're saying
would make sense to her!
**[10:33] Akira**
I have her playing a different role.
**[10:35] Yuuri**
Role?
**[10:37] Akira**
Bear it for now and come with me.
**[10:39] Akira**
It's so the team can win.
**[10:41] Yuuri**
What do you see me as?
**[10:44] Yuuri**
You talk about trusting me, needing me...
**[10:47] Yuuri**
Is that all about ways you can use me?
**[10:51] Yuuri**
It's not that, is it, Akira?
**[10:53] Yuuri**
If it's not, then you'll have to
understand how I feel right now.
**[10:57] Akira**
Yuuri...
**[10:59] Yuuri**
I'm sorry, Akira.
**[11:01] Akira**
Wait, Yuuri!
**[11:03] Akira**
Damn it!
**[11:08] Akira**
* I prepared a Plan B for if*
* Yuuri and I got separated.*
**[11:12] Akira**
* The others running into trouble*
* was within expectations.*
**[11:16] Akira**
*It's not a major problem for me.*
**[11:22] Akira**
* I'm going to win this game*
* and move to the next stage.*
**[11:26] Akira**
*It's not a problem...*
**[11:27] Akira**
*Is it?*
**[11:32] Akira**
*Right?*
**[11:38] Kirisaki**
I've been waiting for this, Akira.
**[11:41] Akira**
*Damn.*
**[11:43] Akira**
*This isn't the right time...*
**[11:45] Kirisaki**
Let's finish this!
**[11:51] Kirisaki**
Nice aim, genius!
**[11:57] Kirisaki**
Take this!
**[12:01] Kirisaki**
Lots of branches I can use for weapons here.
**[12:05] Kirisaki**
No way your cannon can beat all of these.
**[12:08] Akira**
Are you sure about that?
**[12:09] Akira**
* I don't want to take any*
* more damage than this.*
**[12:12] Akira**
*Can I make it?*
**[12:13] Kirisaki**
Still want to get the last word, eh?
**[12:16] Akira**
After all, I told you before...
**[12:19] Akira**
I'm not bothered by the
idea of fighting you.
**[12:21] Kirisaki**
Keep talkin' like that, Akira.
**[12:24] Kirisaki**
It'll feel all the better when I beat you!
**[12:27] Kirisaki**
A presence?
**[12:29] Kirisaki**
Who's that guy?
**[12:31] Kirisaki**
Jump, Akira!
**[12:36] Rindo**
Remember this in the afterlife...
**[12:38] Rindo**
The man who took your head is named Rindou!
**[12:45] Rindo**
Why stop me?
**[12:46] Kirisaki**
I'm the one who'll kill Akira.
**[12:48] Kirisaki**
Not you, baldy!
**[12:51] Rindo**
I see.
**[12:52] Rindo**
Then after I slay Akira Shiroyanagi,
**[12:54] Rindo**
I just need to slay you next.
**[12:56] Rindo**
Is that right?
**[12:57] Kirisaki**
So I'm an afterthought, huh?
**[12:59] Kirisaki**
Interesting.
**[13:01] Kirisaki**
Hey, Akira, let's call a truce.
**[13:03] Kirisaki**
Nobody gets in the way of our duel.
**[13:06] Akira**
*Just in time after all.*
**[13:09] Rin**
I called him just like Akira asked...
**[13:12] Rin**
I hope it worked out.
**[13:14] (Flashback) Rin**
I found Akira Shiroyanagi,
the one you're after.
**[13:18] Kirisaki**
*Akira?*
**[13:19] (Flashback) Akira**
Kirisaki.
**[13:20] (Flashback) Akira**
If you really want to kill me,
**[13:22] (Flashback) Akira**
let's have a one-on-one duel.
**[13:24] Rin**
*His location is...*
**[13:24] Akira**
My location is...
**[13:27] Akira**
*This was my Plan B.*
**[13:29] Akira**
* You'll be my partner while*
* Yuuri is gone, Kirisaki.*
***SIGN*** <>
Mr. Masakado Rindou
Your ability is
"The ability to turn a stick into a sword
that can cut through anything."
**[13:35] Akira**
Kirisaki, his ability is—
**[13:37] Kirisaki**
Same as mine, right?
**[13:39] Kirisaki**
The bastard blocked my
knives with his sword.
**[13:43] Kirisaki**
The only things my blades can't cut are
blades made with the same ability.
**[13:47] Akira**
That saves us some time.
**[13:49] Akira**
My plan is—
**[13:50] Kirisaki**
Skip it. I know more about
my ability than you.
**[13:53] Kirisaki**
You follow me.
**[13:54] Akira**
You?
**[13:55] Kirisaki**
Duck!
**[13:59] Rindo**
So close!
**[14:01] Akira**
What was that?
**[14:03] Kirisaki**
No idea!
**[14:04] Kirisaki**
Guess it's not the same ability after all?
**[14:06] Rindo**
Let's keep it going!
**[14:11] Akira**
Kirisaki!
**[14:12] Akira**
Let's withdraw for now!
**[14:23] Kirisaki**
What the hell is his ability?!
**[14:25] Akira**
Hush!
**[14:26] Akira**
Keep your voice down!
**[14:27] Akira**
He definitely has the same ability as you.
**[14:30] Akira**
I have a source on that...
**[14:31] Kirisaki**
It's just turnin' a stick into a
sword that can cut through anythin'!
**[14:34] Kirisaki**
Does it do more than that?
**[14:36] Akira**
Most likely.
**[14:37] Akira**
Something only he knows.
**[14:39] Akira**
Your knife pierced my cannon,
**[14:41] Akira**
but his attack didn't.
**[14:44] Akira**
That makes me think
**[14:45] Akira**
it's not us he's cutting through.
**[14:48] Akira**
It's something else.
**[14:49] Kirisaki**
Something else?
**[14:51] Akira**
And whatever it is, that's creating
those invisible slashes.
**[14:54] Kirisaki**
*A sword that can cut through anything...*
**[14:56] Kirisaki**
But his ability's still
the same as mine, right?
**[15:01] Kirisaki**
As long as I know that, I'll be fine.
**[15:03] Akira**
You're sure?
**[15:05] Kirisaki**
Four steps.
**[15:06] Kirisaki**
If you'll help me, I can
nail him in four steps.
**[15:11] Rindo**
Did they run away?
**[15:13] Rindo**
No, they'll be back...
**[15:19] Rindo**
Naïve fool!
**[15:23] Kirisaki**
You can't use that move when I'm this close!
**[15:27] Kirisaki**
*He's damn good!*
**[15:34] Rindo**
Where is Akira Shiroyanagi?
**[15:40] Kirisaki**
Go, Akira!
**[15:48] Rindo**
Four steps after all!
**[15:52] Kirisaki**
Akira!
**[15:53] Rindo**
The ambush, the close combat...
**[15:55] Rindo**
If the distraction was the third move,
**[15:57] Rindo**
the real attack would be the fourth.
**[15:59] Rindo**
A cannon blast from my blind spot...
**[16:01] Rindo**
All just as I predicted it!
**[16:05] Akira**
It was five steps, wasn't it, Kirisaki?
**[16:11] Both**
*The splinters!*
**[16:30] Kirisaki**
* He fired the cannon twice*
* to blast the tree away...*
**[16:35] Kirisaki**
*He predicted everything!*
**[16:37] Akira**
Interesting.
**[16:38] Akira**
We might make a good team after all.
**[16:43] Renka**
Renka's army has purged the cannon fodder!
**[16:51] Mari**
The...
**[16:53] Mari**
The last of my... power...
**[17:07] Mari**
Good luck... everyone.
**[17:25] Renka**
How dare you harm sweet li'l Renka!
**[17:29] Renka**
Killing's too good for you.
**[17:31] Renka**
I'll rip you to shreds and
make an example outta you!
**[17:37] Renka**
You...
**[17:39] Renka**
How long you been there?
**[17:41] Rin**
No "How can I help you"?
**[17:44] Renka**
I don't give a shit about helping you.
**[17:46] Renka**
What did you see?
**[17:47] Rin**
Your neck...
**[17:48] Rin**
Is your ability invincibility?
**[17:50] Rin**
Then the control of the fighters is—
**[17:52] Renka**
Shut up.
**[17:53] Renka**
From the first moment I met you,
**[17:55] Renka**
I really didn't like you.
**[17:58] Renka**
Time to die!
**[17:59] Rin**
But we're on the same side.
**[18:01] Renka**
Like I give a shit!
**[18:03] Renka**
I'll just tell everyone the Greens did it.
**[18:06] Rin**
Was that your plan?
**[18:09] Rin**
I was thinking the same thing myself.
**[18:14] Renka**
*Turning your hand into a blade?*
**[18:16] Renka**
*Never seen an ability like that before.*
**[18:19] Renka**
But you still can't beat me!
**[18:22] Renka**
What?!
**[18:34] Renka**
I thought you were a
slow-witted little bitch,
**[18:36] Renka**
but you're actually pretty speedy!
**[18:38] Rin**
I used to do hot yoga!
**[18:51] Renka**
What's the matter?
**[18:53] Renka**
I was hoping you'd put
up more of a struggle!
**[18:56] Rin**
No, I've had more than enough.
**[18:59] Renka**
Then prepare to—
**[19:00] Rin**
More than enough to finish you off.
**[19:02] Renka**
Huh?
**[19:07] Renka**
What in the world?!
**[19:16] Renka**
The blood...
**[19:18] Renka**
This bitch turns her blood into knives!
**[19:20] Rin**
Isn't that something?
**[19:22] Rin**
Even after all that, you're not dead!
**[19:24] Renka**
You stupid whore!
**[19:34] Renka**
No! Not that way!
**[19:36] Renka**
Stop her!
**[19:48] Rin**
*Found you.*
**[19:49] Renka**
No!
**[19:51] Rin**
You're the one controlling it all!
**[20:02] Renka**
How... dare you...
**[20:06] Rin**
Renka is not an invincible ability user.
**[20:09] Rin**
She's a puppet, just like
the tanks and helicopters.
**[20:13] Rin**
Then the real one must be...
**[20:16] Souta**
How... did you know?
**[20:18] Rin**
Well, it was just too bizarre!
**[20:21] Rin**
Invincibility in a death game?
**[20:24] Rin**
That didn't seem like the kind
of thing Mion would allow.
**[20:27] Rin**
So I thought there must
be someone behind her...
**[20:31] Rin**
Hiding in a safe space
sealed off by the tanks.
**[20:34] Rin**
And what about you?
**[20:35] Chaen**
I-I can make toys become real!
**[20:39] Chaen**
They took me as a slave.
**[20:40] Rin**
I see...
**[20:42] Rin**
And he was using you?
**[20:45] Chaen**
You're on our team, aren't you?
**[20:48] Chaen**
Why?
**[20:49] Rin**
Well, he clearly intended to kill me soon.
**[20:53] Rin**
I'd be in danger even if Red won.
**[20:56] Rin**
So I thought I'd kill him first!
**[20:58] Rin**
I've made a deal with Green, you see.
**[21:01] Rin**
If I killed one Red general,
**[21:03] Rin**
they'd attest to Mion that
I was a spy for Green.
**[21:09] Rin**
Now, whether Red or Green wins, I'll survive.
**[21:14] Rin**
To make it perfect...
**[21:17] Rin**
I just have to tie off one little loose end.

**[01:45] Akira**
A wooden sword...
**[01:47] Akira**
There's a wooden layer inside the sheath?
**[01:49] Kirisaki**
I get it.
**[01:51] Kirisaki**
He turned the sheath's inner layer into
a sword that can cut through anything,
**[01:54] Kirisaki**
and slid the two blades against each other.
**[02:00] Yuuki**
Shrink.
**[02:05] Yuuki**
Oh, you noticed?
**[02:07] Yuuki**
I've scattered them all around...
**[02:09] Yuuki**
Lassos made from high-tech fiber.
**[02:11] Yuuki**
Shrink.
**[02:17] Kumagiri**
The ability to shrink things...
**[02:19] Kumagiri**
I see. You've been shrinking distances.
**[02:23] Yuuki**
Yes, I move close by shrinking
the distance between us.
**[02:27] Kumagiri**
How many people did you kill
to master that ability?!
**[02:31] Yuuki**
Guess you don't have much
of an ability yourself.
**[02:35] Yuuki**
Maybe you don't get how it
feels to have a strong one.
**[02:40] Kumagiri**
Indeed, I can't understand you at all.
**[02:42] Kumagiri**
How can you so freely use an
ability those people gave you?
**[02:47] Yuuki**
I used to be a bartender,
uneducated and broke!
**[02:51] Yuuki**
But here, I'm a winner!
**[02:53] Yuuki**
How can I not be enjoying this?
**[02:55] Kumagiri**
You're disgusting.
**[02:57] Yuuki**
This place is like heaven for me.
**[02:59] Yuuki**
I'm not about to let it end!
**[03:07] Yuuki**
Now I've got your neck in a guillotine.
**[03:11] Yuuki**
Feel like begging for your life?
**[03:13] Kumagiri**
I have only one thing to say.
**[03:15] Kumagiri**
I am going to make you pay!
**[03:18] Yuuki**
Are you, now?

**[05:02] Brother**
*Shin... You are invincible!*
**[05:17] Kumagiri**
I used my ability, but I still

Don't cry.
**[05:30] Kumagiri**
I'll be fine.
**[05:33] Kumagiri**
*I won't hesitate any longer.*
**[05:35] Kumagiri**
* I'm going to make them regret*
* giving me these two seconds.*
**[05:41] Katsuya**
Damn it!
**[05:45] Kamui**
You don't feel any pain or fear, eh?
**[05:49] Kamui**
How does a man get so stubborn?
**[05:52] Katsuya**
*You're mad, old man.*
**[05:55] Katsuya**
*Before I came here,*
**[05:56] Katsuya**
*I was human garbage,*
**[05:58] Katsuya**
*only caring about my own survival,*
**[06:00] Katsuya**
*making trouble for everyone around me.*
**[06:03] Katsuya**
*But since coming here...*
**[06:05] Katsuya**
*I couldn't tell anyone this...*
**[06:08] Katsuya**
* But meeting these people*
* gave me a new lease on life.*
**[06:14] Katsuya**
*Sorry, Asuka.*
**[06:16] Katsuya**
*I don't think I'll be able to save ya.*
**[06:20] Katsuya**
*But...*
**[06:21] Katsuya**
*I'll hold him here for every second I can!*
**[06:26] Katsuya**
Sir! Yuuri! Akira!
**[06:29] Katsuya**
I'm leaving the rest to ya!
**[06:34] Akira**
What nonsense is this, Katsuya?
**[06:38] Katsuya**
Akira!
**[06:40] Katsuya**
What are ya doing here?
**[06:41] Akira**
I knew where you were,
**[06:44] Akira**
and this was the shortest
route from there to Asuka.
**[06:48] Akira**
Glad I made it in time.
**[06:50] Katsuya**
What the...
**[06:51] Katsuya**
Why didn't ya go right to Asuka?
**[06:53] Katsuya**
Ya could've saved Asuka and killed Oogami.
**[06:57] Katsuya**
That's why I...
**[06:59] Akira**
Why you tried to sacrifice yourself?
**[07:02] Akira**
Don't worry. Yuuri's there.
**[07:05] Akira**
But she'll have her hands
full with fighting...
**[07:08] Akira**
So I want you to save Asuka.
**[07:12] Akira**
Because it has to be you.
**[07:15] Akira**
I'll be moving to the
next program after this,
**[07:19] Akira**
but Team Green needs you.
**[07:22] Akira**
That's why
**[07:24] Akira**
I will take over on this one.
**[07:27] Katsuya**
Got it.
**[07:28] Katsuya**
I'll save Asuka, I swear!
**[07:33] Kamui**
Finished your little act?
**[07:35] Akira**
Act?
**[07:37] Akira**
I suppose it was.
**[07:38] Akira**
But it was the only way to
get Katsuya out of here.
**[07:42] Akira**
Since I made it in time,
**[07:44] Akira**
I want to see it through.
**[07:46] Kamui**
Eh? What's this now?
**[07:49] Akira**
You were my target from the start!
**[07:58] Akira**
Is that a chemical reaction?
**[08:01] Akira**
An ability for creating spontaneous
chemical reactions?
**[08:04] Akira**
That explains Katsuya's burns.
**[08:09] Kamui**
I see.
**[08:11] Kamui**
Kuro and Rindou were cautious of you.
**[08:15] Kamui**
I now see why.
**[08:17] Kamui**
But what about you?
**[08:19] Kamui**
You appear to use a cannon...
**[08:22] Kamui**
But your ability isn't really
the cannon, I've heard.
**[08:26] Kamui**
Kuroiwa's figured out your secret.
**[08:31] Kamui**
You appear to have multiple abilities.
**[08:34] Kamui**
But given that you threw a rock
rather than use your cannon,
**[08:37] Kamui**
it suggests to me that you *can't*
use the cannon now.
**[08:39] Kamui**
I'm awfully curious what you think
you can accomplish in your state.
**[08:44] Kamui**
You're my toy to play with!
**[08:49] Kamui**
Eh? Is he running away?
**[08:53] Kamui**
No, is that...
**[08:55] Kamui**
That sword...
**[08:58] ---**
*It's not a cannon ability...*
**[08:58] Kamui**
He killed Rindou?
**[08:59] ---**
*But then...*
**[09:00] Kamui**
He can use multiple abilities...
**[09:00] ---**
*He killed Rindou?!*
**[09:02] Kamui**
Does he copy abilities?!
**[09:02] ---**
*What's he going to do with his sword?!*
**[09:04] Kamui**
Did he copy Rindou's ability?!
**[09:06] Akira**
Correct.
**[09:12] Kamui**
* His formless blades ability is*
* the only one I can't block!*
**[09:20] Kirisaki**
*You're takin' his sword?*
**[09:23] (Flashback) Kirisaki**
It's a regular wood sword if you
don't got an ability like mine.
**[09:27] (Flashback) Akira**
Yes, but...
**[09:28] (Flashback) Akira**
If you didn't know that,
**[09:29] (Flashback) Akira**
you'd assume this was a real sword,
**[09:31] (Flashback) Akira**
and that his ability was
"invisible slashes," wouldn't you?
**[09:35] Akira**
* If the other person thinks that my*
* ability is "invisible slashes,"*
**[09:39] Akira**
*that's what it becomes.*
**[09:41] Akira**
I'm taking your interface.
**[09:48] Kamui**
What in the world... is your ability?
**[09:52] Akira**
Oh, right...
**[09:53] Akira**
You said you'd figured out that
my ability wasn't the cannon...
**[09:58] Akira**
But that's because I *let you know*.
**[10:03] Akira**
From the start of the third program,
**[10:05] Akira**
I let everybody think
I had the cannon ability.
**[10:08] Akira**
And right around the time that
was becoming common knowledge,
**[10:10] Akira**
I let a hint of the truth slip out.
***SIGN*** Akira Shiroyanagi's ability

Ambiguity like that is a breeding
ground for speculation.

You'll find out soon enough.
**[10:30] Ringo**
* There's an assassin here*
* who silenced the spy.*
**[10:34] Ringo**
*They must be here to kill our leader.*

*No, it can't be her.*
**[10:43] Ringo**
* She's been here since before*
* the conflict with Red...*
**[10:48] Ringo**
*That's why I never checked her ability!*

What did you need to speak about?
**[10:57] Shirasagi**
Momoko—
**[11:03] Momoko**
Yuuto... you knew?
**[11:05] Shirasagi**
I did.
**[11:07] Shirasagi**
But I didn't want to believe it.
**[11:10] Ringo**

**[11:11] Shirasagi**
Stay back!
**[11:13] Shirasagi**
She's dangerous.

Your surprise attack failed.
You know you can't beat me now.

Mr. Yuuto Shirasagi
Your ability is "the ability to

**[11:23] Shirasagi**
Why in the world...
**[11:25] Momoko**
I really was on your side at the start.
**[11:29] Momoko**
But then I learned that those
boys were Team Red's leaders...
**[11:34] Momoko**
Hajime Oogami and Masaya
Kuroiwa are my children.
**[11:37] Shirasagi**
Children?!
**[11:39] Momoko**
Surely you understand,
as a father yourself.
**[11:41] Momoko**
A parent would do anything
for their children!
**[11:45] Shirasagi**
Hold still, Momoko!
**[11:47] Shirasagi**
Release your cannon and stand down!
**[11:50] Momoko**
Hold still?
**[11:51] Momoko**
That's my line to you.
**[11:54] Both**
Taro!
**[11:56] Momoko**
Toss your interface aside
and seal your own ability.
**[12:00] Momoko**
Or I'll blow the child away.
**[12:03] Shima**
Have you gone mad?!
**[12:05] Momoko**
If Red wins,
**[12:06] Momoko**
I'll take the child and raise him myself.
**[12:10] Momoko**
I'll count to three.
**[12:11] Momoko**
The boy or Team Green?
**[12:13] Momoko**
Choose, Yuuto.
**[12:15] Momoko**
Three.
**[12:16] Shima**
Leader...
**[12:17] Momoko**
Two.
**[12:18] Ringo**
Don't do this!
**[12:20] Momoko**
One.
**[12:30] Momoko**
I just knew you would.
**[12:34] Momoko**
Farewell, Yuuto.
**[12:39] Kuroiwa**
I see.
**[12:40] Kuroiwa**
You've finished off old man Shirasagi, then?
**[12:45] Momoko**
It's all over now.
**[12:47] Momoko**
Give up.
**[12:49] Ringo**
No... Nothing's over at all.
**[12:52] Momoko**
Isn't it?
**[12:54] Ringo**
For the sake of everyone
risking their lives...

Out of respect for our leader's devotion...

I have a great number

**[13:37] Momoko**
Really, now...

You can't retrieve Taro
if you keep hiding...

*I really can't do this.*

No...
**[14:01] (Flashback) Ringo**
I mean, at one-tenth values,
it's basically pointless.
**[14:04] (Flashback) Akira**
I don't think it's pointless at all.
**[14:07] (Flashback) Akira**
Try it, and you'll see.
**[14:09] (Flashback) Akira**
Have faith in yourself.
**[14:15] Momoko**
Just answer my question and I'll stop.
**[14:19] Momoko**
Who's the king, if not Yuuto?
**[14:23] Ringo**
*If she doesn't hear it from me,*
**[14:27] Ringo**
*she'll go on to attack Akira and the others.*
**[14:30] Ringo**
* I'm supposed to stop the enemy*
* in case something happens.*
**[14:33] Ringo**
*That's the duty Akira left to me!*
**[14:39] Ringo**
I can't tell you that.
**[14:41] Ringo**
Now give back Taro!
**[14:44] Momoko**
Oh, really?
**[14:45] Momoko**
You force my hand, then.
**[14:47] Ringo**
*It's coming.*
**[14:48] Ringo**
*I have to try it!*
**[14:50] Ringo**
*Help me, Akira!*
**[14:58] Ringo**
*This is...*
**[15:02] (Flashback) Fb**
Try it, and you'll see.
**[15:04] Ringo**
* The blast's power is reduced*
* to one-tenth, but...*
**[15:12] Ringo**
* It also needs only one-tenth*
* of the time to attack.*
**[15:15] Ringo**
*So I can fire at ten times the speed!*
**[15:18] (Flashback) Fb**
Have faith in yourself.
**[15:20] Ringo**
It's not a downgrade.
**[15:22] Ringo**
It lets me create new abilities.
**[15:25] Ringo**
That's how my ability works!
**[15:27] Momoko**
I'd assumed it was an inferior copy...
**[15:30] Momoko**
But I see I was wrong.
**[15:32] Momoko**
If you have the power to
threaten those boys...

**[15:35] Momoko**
I must be rid of you!
**[15:37] Ringo**
Momoko... Hide Taro somewhere safe.
**[15:41] Ringo**
I don't think you want him
getting hurt in our battle.
**[15:45] Momoko**
How confident of you.
**[15:51] Momoko**
Now... Let us begin.
**[15:58] Momoko**
In a one-on-one capacity, they're equal.
**[16:01] Momoko**
But...
**[16:05] Ringo**
*Please...*
**[16:06] Ringo**
*Hit just right...*
**[16:12] Ringo**
*Where is she?*
**[16:22] Momoko**
What's wrong?
**[16:24] Momoko**
Go on and shoot.
**[16:28] Momoko**
I thought so.
**[16:34] Momoko**
It seemed too obvious.
**[16:36] Momoko**
Ringo dear...
**[16:38] Momoko**
You need a certain resolve
in order to shoot someone.
**[16:46] Momoko**
Now, tell me.
**[16:47] Momoko**
Who is Green's king?
**[16:49] Momoko**
Where are they?
**[16:51] Momoko**
I suppose this place is like hell to you.
**[16:55] Momoko**
And yet...
**[16:56] Momoko**
There are others who came
from hell to be here.
**[16:59] Momoko**
Those boys and I started in hell.
**[17:04] Momoko**
I failed to save them.
**[17:06] Momoko**
This time, I'll do whatever it takes
to protect those in my care!
**[17:09] Momoko**
I'll save Taro and start from square one.
**[17:13] Momoko**
And this time...
**[17:15] Ringo**
Is that the only reason?
**[17:17] Ringo**
Why you stole Taro from Asuka?
**[17:20] Ringo**
Why you killed that spy... and our leader?
**[17:24] Ringo**
It's awful... It's too awful.
**[17:27] Ringo**
I won't allow it...
**[17:28] Momoko**
And why in the world would
I need your permission?
**[17:38] Ringo**
I found my resolve.
**[17:41] Momoko**
Resolve to do what?
**[17:43] Ringo**
To do what it takes,
instead of letting you have Taro.
**[17:48] Ringo**
Don't you see?
**[17:50] Ringo**
The place I just shot...
**[17:52] Ringo**
What's buried under that landslide...
**[17:56] Momoko**
It can't be...
**[17:59] Momoko**
You'd never do it.
**[18:03] Ringo**
I'm sorry.
**[18:06] Momoko**
No!
**[18:08] Momoko**
Taro!
**[18:10] Momoko**
I swore... I swore I'd
protect you this time!
**[18:15] Momoko**
He's gone?
**[18:17] Ringo**
That's not where he was.
**[18:21] Ringo**
Taro was over here.
**[18:24] Ringo**
I used my bullets to change the terrain,
**[18:26] Ringo**
so you didn't recognize it.
**[18:29] Ringo**
I realized from the start.
**[18:31] Ringo**
You'd only drop your guard
if the child went missing.
**[18:34] Momoko**
From the start?
**[18:35] Momoko**
Then asking me to hide the child,
**[18:37] Momoko**
the reckless fire, and the
explosion were all...
**[18:40] Ringo**
Drop your interface and seal your ability.
**[18:44] Ringo**
This time, I really will shoot!
**[18:47] Ringo**
Through your own actions, you've given me
**[18:50] Ringo**
the resolve to fire!
**[18:58] Momoko**
I admit defeat.
**[19:03] Momoko**
But Taro is mine!
**[19:06] Ringo**
I knew it.
**[19:08] Ringo**
This is who you really are.
**[19:11] Ringo**
You don't want to protect this child.
**[19:13] Ringo**
You just want to take him!
**[19:14] Ringo**
For your own satisfaction!
**[19:23] Momoko**
I just
**[19:25] Momoko**
couldn't protect them,
**[19:28] Momoko**
and I wanted to atone.
**[19:31] Momoko**
This time... at last...
**[19:35] Ringo**
I see.
**[19:38] Ringo**
But you aren't worthy enough to do that.
**[19:43] Kuroiwa**
So you were the king?
**[19:46] Kuroiwa**
Akira Shiroyanagi...
**[19:48] Akira**
Shouldn't you be more worried
about your own king?
**[19:52] Kuroiwa**
What's this now?
**[19:54] Akira**
Just as you were focused on our leader,
**[19:58] Akira**
I was also setting up this situation.
**[20:02] Oo**
What?
**[20:04] Kirisaki**
Havin' some trouble, huh?
**[20:06] Yuu**
Kirisaki!
**[20:07] Oo**
Found yourself a reinforcement, eh?
**[20:10] Kumagiri**
And not just one.
**[20:13] Yuu**
Kumagiri!
**[20:14] Kumagiri**
Yuuri, you've done an impressive job here.
**[20:17] Kumagiri**
I have a message from Akira for you.
**[20:20] Kumagiri**
He wants you to survive this,
so he can apologize to you.
**[20:25] Kumagiri**
Akira's got their strategist,
Kuroiwa, locked down.
**[20:29] Kumagiri**
No one's going to interfere.
**[20:31] Kirisaki**
Which means
**[20:32] Kirisaki**
if we finish this guy off in the meantime,
**[20:35] Kirisaki**
the battle's over.

*Let's begin, Kuroiwa.*
**[00:08] Akira**
*First, with an exchange of greetings.*
**[00:16] Akira**
* The ability to turn marbles*
* into wrecking balls.*
**[00:18] Kuroiwa**
I've heard you can use multiple abilities.
**[00:22] Kuroiwa**
That's not unlike my own ability.
**[00:26] Kuroiwa**
Though I believe mine is superior.
**[00:45] Akira**
*I've got to hold them in place!*

Please, no!
**[00:52] Slave**
Help me! Please!

*It's just as Ringo said...*
**[01:01] (Flashback) Ringo**
Oogami and Kuroiwa of Team Red
**[01:03] (Flashback) Ringo**
combine their powers to create slaves.
**[01:06] (Flashback) Akira**
"Create"?
**[01:08] (Flashback) Ringo**
Yes.
**[01:10] (Flashback) Ringo**
Right after they captured us,
**[01:12] (Flashback) Ringo**
Oogami was about to kill us.
**[01:15] (Flashback) Ringo**
But then Kuroiwa saved us.
**[01:19] (Flashback) Ringo**
More precisely, *he made us think* he did.
**[01:22] (Flashback) Ringo**
That's how he triggers his ability.
***SIGN*** <>
Mr. Masaya Kuroiwa
Your ability is
"the ability to
forcibly collect
debts you're owed."
**[01:26] (Flashback) Ringo**
Masaya Kuroiwa's ability lets him force
others to repay debts they owe him.
**[01:33] (Flashback) Ringo**
When he saves your life,
**[01:35] (Flashback) Ringo**
you become a slave, forced to risk
your life for him in exchange.
**[01:40] Akira**
* He has multiple ability users*
* under his control.*
**[01:43] Akira**
*Kuroiwa is the true king.*
**[01:48] Kuroiwa**
Akira Shiroyanagi...
**[01:50] Kuroiwa**
I know you well enough to know
**[01:51] Kuroiwa**
that you likely came here
with a plan in mind.
**[01:55] Kuroiwa**
But you're completely in my power now.
**[02:00] Kuroiwa**
I said that your appearance
played into my hands.
**[02:04] Kuroiwa**
That's because I'm in complete
control of everything.
**[02:07] Kuroiwa**
I have been...
**[02:08] Kuroiwa**
and will continue to be.
**[02:11] Akira**
Is that what your "kingdom" is all about?
**[02:17] Kuroiwa**
How did you know about that?
**[02:21] Kuroiwa**
Or should I worry more that you
said that to give me pause,
**[02:25] Kuroiwa**
and may be plotting something?
**[02:28] Akira**
Oh? You're not a bit worried
about what I know?
**[02:31] Kuroiwa**
It wouldn't matter.
**[02:33] Akira**
That's your weak point, isn't it?
**[02:35] Akira**
You people know nothing about me.
**[02:39] Akira**
You don't really know what my ability is,
**[02:42] Akira**
or why I can use multiple abilities.
**[02:46] Akira**
It was the same way with
our leader's ability.
**[02:48] Akira**
You only knew that he could
block enemy attacks.
**[02:51] Akira**
But on that day, you saw his real ability...
**[02:54] Akira**
That when he's face-to-face with an enemy,
**[02:57] Akira**
he can turn their power back on them.
**[03:00] Akira**
Even before then, you likely
suspected there was more to it.
**[03:03] Akira**
Had you been so inclined, you could have
done something to expose him far earlier.
**[03:08] Akira**
I think you're too strong,
**[03:10] Akira**
and that led you to look down on us.
**[03:12] Akira**
A natural inclination, from someone arrogant
enough to think of this place as their kingdom.
**[03:16] Akira**
And as further proof of that...
**[03:19] Akira**
You didn't even consider it, did you?
**[03:21] Akira**
That we might have a spy
in your ranks, too.
**[03:26] Kuroiwa**
And?
**[03:28] Kuroiwa**
Even if you had a spy in our ranks,
**[03:31] Kuroiwa**
would that let you change
your current situation?
**[03:33] Akira**
It would.
**[03:35] Akira**
That arrogance of yours is
what will let me beat you.
**[03:38] Kuroiwa**
You're the one who knows nothing about us.
**[03:43] Kuroiwa**
Your purpose here is to buy time
**[03:46] Kuroiwa**
until Quintuple Girl and
her friends defeat Ichi.
**[03:50] Kuroiwa**
But...
**[03:51] Kuroiwa**
Your attempt is utterly pointless.
**[03:53] Akira**
What?
**[03:55] Kuroiwa**
Your companions will be witnessing
quite a spectacle around now.
**[04:00] Kuroiwa**
Not that you have time to
think about them right now.
**[04:06] Kuroiwa**
Did you really think your words were
what convinced me to pause my attacks?
**[04:11] Kuroiwa**
You wanted to buy time,
and I *graciously indulged* you.
**[04:17] Kuroiwa**
If, when I paused, you thought for
even a moment, "Thank goodness..."
**[04:22] Kuroiwa**
That becomes a debt you owe me.
**[04:24] Akira**
What?!
**[04:25] Kuroiwa**
You've fulfilled the conditions
for my ability's activation.
**[04:28] Kuroiwa**
The moment you appeared before me,
**[04:32] Kuroiwa**
the battle was already over,
**[04:34] Kuroiwa**
Akira Shiroyanagi.
***SIGN*** Episode 11 "Loanshark"
**[06:08] Kuroiwa**
I briefly paused my attacks
**[06:10] Kuroiwa**
to let you buy a little time.
**[06:12] Kuroiwa**
That's a thoroughly minor debt.
**[06:14] Kuroiwa**
Just enough to steal a little
time back from you.
**[06:19] Kuroiwa**
But that's more than enough.
**[06:20] Kuroiwa**
Akira Shiroyanagi,
**[06:22] Kuroiwa**
your repayment will be the temporary
loss of the use of your right leg.
**[06:28] Akira**
*Is this how Kuroiwa's ability works?*
**[06:31] Kuroiwa**
I'd say you're doomed now.
**[06:39] Kuroiwa**
Yes...
**[06:40] Kuroiwa**
You have only one option now.
**[06:43] Kuroiwa**
Use *that* ability.
**[06:45] Kuroiwa**
My first inkling that something was off
**[06:47] Kuroiwa**
was the way you repeatedly summoned
and withdrew your cannon.
**[06:51] Kuroiwa**
It was as if you were flipping a switch.
**[06:53] Kuroiwa**
Despite the danger you were in during
the fight with the giant ghoul,
**[06:56] Kuroiwa**
you actively sought out a blind
spot before solving the problem.
**[07:01] Kuroiwa**
And then...
**[07:02] (Flashback) Fb**
The spy you have in Green helped me escape.
**[07:06] (Flashback) Fb**
With a message.
**[07:08] (Flashback) Fb**
The child should have been
killed in the attack.
**[07:11] (Flashback) Fb**
But he was fine for some reason.
**[07:13] (Flashback) Fb**
And the next instant,
he fired off his cannon.
**[07:16] (Flashback) Fb**
They told me to tell you that.
**[07:19] Kuroiwa**
"He uses the cannon,
but that's not his ability."
**[07:22] Kuroiwa**
That was all I needed to know.
**[07:24] Kuroiwa**
Now use it.
**[07:30] Kuroiwa**
Use it!
**[07:35] Akira**
What?!
**[07:37] Kuroiwa**
I knew that when revealing
your secret weapon
**[07:39] Kuroiwa**
you'd want to get close
enough to finish me off.
**[07:42] Kuroiwa**
That's why I placed my slaves there.
**[07:45] Kuroiwa**
I have no interest in
learning your real ability.
**[07:48] Kuroiwa**
You use the cannon,
**[07:50] Kuroiwa**
and some sort of teleportation ability.
**[07:53] Kuroiwa**
Once I knew that, it was just a
matter of driving you to use it...
**[07:58] Kuroiwa**
And then killing you.
**[08:06] Kuroiwa**
Positioning my slaves this way,
**[08:07] Kuroiwa**
letting you talk to buy time,
**[08:10] Kuroiwa**
and stealing the use of your leg...
**[08:13] Kuroiwa**
All actions taken to force you
to use your teleportation,
**[08:15] Kuroiwa**
and bring you right here.
**[08:17] Kuroiwa**
I systematically narrowed your options to one.
**[08:21] Kuroiwa**
Akira Shiroyanagi,
**[08:23] Kuroiwa**
you were completely within
my power from the start.
**[08:29] Akira**
Was I really?
**[08:32] Akira**
What if you only think you
drove me into this situation,
**[08:38] Akira**
because I manipulated you
into thinking you did?
**[08:45] Akira**
After all, I'm right where I want to be...
**[08:50] Akira**
Face-to-face with an enemy!
**[08:56] Kuroiwa**
What?!
**[08:58] Akira**
The things I said earlier
weren't about buying time.
**[09:02] Akira**
I made it look that way,
**[09:04] Akira**
but it was the *content* of
what I said that mattered.

Too late!
**[09:23] Akira**
*He thought I was the king,*
**[09:25] Akira**
* which meant he'd already*

**[09:29] Akira**

*I was sure...*
**[09:47] Akira**
*But...*
**[09:48] Akira**
*What if what's changed is...*
**[09:53] Akira**

**[10:16] Kitajima**
We're free!
**[10:18] Ouji**
We're saved!
**[10:21] Akira**
*Ow...*
**[10:22] Akira**
*It retaliates against me, too.*
**[10:24] Akira**
*But I think I got off easy.*
**[10:29] Akira**
*Good thing I came prepared.*
**[10:32] Akira**
*This is over.*
**[10:34] Akira**
*He's finished.*
**[10:36] Kuroiwa**
You...
**[10:37] Kuroiwa**
You arranged all that?
**[10:40] Akira**
Yes.
**[10:42] Akira**
I needed to stop your knife.
**[10:44] Akira**
And our leader had a large library of books.
**[10:48] Kuroiwa**
You were prepared... for my knife?
**[10:51] Akira**
I told you before...
**[10:52] Akira**
It looked like you were in control
of the battle, but you weren't.
**[10:56] Akira**
I arranged all this myself
**[10:59] Akira**
before the battle began.
**[11:03] (Flashback) Fb**
Good morning.
**[11:04] (Flashback) Fb**
Sorry to ask, but could we
spend the day together?
**[11:07] (Flashback) Fb**
Sure. What are we doing?
**[11:10] (Flashback) Fb**
I have to talk with Kumagiri a while,
**[11:13] (Flashback) Fb**
so get ready to head out while I do.
**[11:15] (Flashback) Kumagiri**
He's apparently one of
Team Red's slave hunters.
**[11:18] (Flashback) Kumagiri**
I captured him,
**[11:20] (Flashback) Kumagiri**
but since it seems like we'll
be fighting Team Red soon,
**[11:23] (Flashback) Kumagiri**
I figured I'd get your thoughts on it.
**[11:27] (Flashback) Akira**
Kumagiri...
**[11:28] (Flashback) Akira**
I think you've found our way through.
**[11:30] (Flashback) Kumagiri**
What?
**[11:32] Akira**
*Maybe I'll try it with Yuuri.*
**[11:35] Akira**
*To see if I can use that ability or not...*
**[11:38] Akira**
*I can transform into anyone Yuuri imagines.*
**[11:43] (Flashback) Akira**
I want your help, Yuuri.
**[11:44] (Flashback) Yuuri**
Who's this guy?
**[11:46] (Flashback) Akira**
One of Team Red's slave hunters.
**[11:48] (Flashback) Akira**
I want to try it with him.
**[11:50] (Flashback) Akira**
Instead of Ringo, I want to turn into him.
**[11:58] (Flashback) Fb**
The spy you have in Green helped me escape.
**[12:02] Akira**
I learned very quickly that there
was a spy in Green's ranks,
**[12:05] Akira**
and I used that to infiltrate
your team as well.
**[12:09] Akira**
Yes...
**[12:09] Akira**
That was me the whole time.
**[12:11] Akira**
And I gave you just a scrap of
information about my ability.
**[12:17] Akira**
I imagined someone like you wouldn't just
use it to predict how the battle would go.
**[12:23] Akira**
You'd want to control us,
and how the fight unfolded.
**[12:27] Akira**
I know that, because I'm the same way.
**[12:29] Akira**
So I gave you that
information intentionally.
**[12:32] Akira**
But I couldn't give you the answer.
**[12:33] Akira**
I gave you just enough to
reach the answer on your own.
**[12:36] Akira**
Enough to let you think you'd
reached it for yourself.
**[12:39] Akira**
But...
**[12:41] Akira**
It had to be the answer
I *wanted* you to reach.
**[12:46] Akira**
Then I tried to figure out how
you'd use the slaves you had,
**[12:49] Akira**
and what traps you'd set for me.
**[12:52] Akira**
Once I figured out what those might be,
**[12:54] Akira**
I set traps of my own around them.
**[13:00] Akira**
I think I've made myself clear, haven't I?
**[13:03] Akira**
You're the one who's been in my power.
**[13:08] Kuroiwa**
I was watching you from the start,
prepared for anything...
**[13:11] Kuroiwa**
Or so I thought.
**[13:13] Kuroiwa**
But it seems I underestimated you.
**[13:17] Kuroiwa**
Very well. You win.
**[13:20] Kuroiwa**
But only this battle.
**[13:26] Akira**
You still think we can't beat Oogami?
**[13:29] Akira**
A pointless bluff.
**[13:31] Akira**
Even with quintupled abilities,
**[13:33] Akira**
he'll be surrounded by ability-users who—
**[13:34] Kuroiwa**
All the more reason.
**[13:37] Kuroiwa**
You've got Ichi's back against the wall.
**[13:40] Kuroiwa**
And that's why you can't beat him.
**[13:45] Kuroiwa**
Because *that* Ichi will show himself.
**[13:48] Kuroiwa**
That girl and her friends are finished.
**[14:06] Kirisaki**
Even with quintupled abilities,
**[14:08] Kirisaki**
you can't beat three of us at once!
**[14:14] Oogami**
Just as I hoped...
**[14:17] Oogami**
With them...
**[14:19] Oogami**
Maybe... I can find my answer.
**[14:26] Kirisaki**
Wh-What's he doin'?
**[14:28] Yuuri**
What in the world?
**[14:29] Oogami**
Just what... exactly...
**[14:33] Oogami**
am I?!
**[14:41] Kirisaki**
Crap!
**[14:45] Both**
Kirisaki!
**[14:47] Oogami**
They told us over and over again...
**[14:50] Oogami**
"You're not human."
**[14:55] Oogami**
Anger... Sorrow... Pain...
**[14:58] Oogami**
When I feel enough of them,
and I get like this...
**[15:02] Oogami**
I always remember that.
**[15:05] Oogami**
But then... what exactly are we?
**[15:10] Oogami**
I wanted to know the answer.
**[15:13] Oogami**
But when I get like this,
and I ask the people around me...
**[15:16] Oogami**
None of them ever survive.
**[15:35] Kuroiwa**
Ichi...
**[15:36] Kuroiwa**
Let's create it.
**[15:39] Kuroiwa**
Create our kingdom right here.
***SIGN*** Orphanage
Shin'ai Academy
**[15:48] (Flashback) Momo**
We have a new friend joining us today.
**[15:54] (Flashback) Momo**
This is Masaya Kuroiwa.
**[16:00] (Flashback) Oogami**
You're always reading that, huh?
**[16:02] (Flashback) Kuroiwa**
My mom bought it for me.
**[16:05] (Flashback) Oogami**
Is it good?
**[16:06] ---**
*A Kingdom for Everyone*
**[16:06] (Flashback) Kuroiwa**
It's about some insects that
create a free country together.
**[16:10] (Flashback) Kuroiwa**
But that's just a fairy tale.
**[16:13] Kuroiwa**
*I really believed that.*
**[16:15] Kuroiwa**
*Because being there taught me*
**[16:16] Kuroiwa**
* that we don't even have*
* the freedoms and rights*
**[16:20] Kuroiwa**
*of a bunch of insects in a book.*
**[16:24] (Flashback) Ann**
Today we'll be interviewing the kind-hearted
headmaster of Shin'ai Academy,
**[16:28] (Flashback) Ann**
which takes care of children
with nowhere else to go.
**[16:32] (Flashback) Head**
These children grow ever
more wonderful in my care!
**[16:36] (Flashback) Head**
They're all treasures to me!
**[16:41] (Flashback) Head**
Get lined up, trash!
**[16:43] (Flashback) Head**
Your parents don't give a shit about you!
**[16:45] (Flashback) Head**
You'd be dead without me!
**[16:47] (Flashback) Head**
You hear me?!
**[16:48] (Flashback) Head**
You're absolute trash!
**[16:50] (Flashback) Head**
If you think you're human,
you got another thing coming!
**[16:52] (Flashback) Head**
I'm only taking care of you
because I make money from it!
**[16:56] (Flashback) Head**
Be grateful I let you live!
**[17:00] (Flashback) Head**
What?
**[17:01] (Flashback) Head**
You again?
**[17:02] (Flashback) Head**
Don't you look at me that way.
**[17:04] (Flashback) Head**
Don't glare at your benefactor!
**[17:07] (Flashback) Head**
Ungrateful trash!
**[17:09] (Flashback) Head**
Show me gratitude!
**[17:10] (Flashback) Head**
Pay back the debt you owe me!
**[17:12] (Flashback) Head**
You're not human!
**[17:13] (Flashback) Head**
You're insects!
**[17:14] (Flashback) Head**
You're sub-insect trash!
**[17:22] Kumagiri**
*He's changing somehow...*
**[17:28] Kumagiri**
Yuuri!
**[17:35] Kumagiri**
*Not good...*
**[17:36] Kumagiri**
*My two seconds have passed.*
**[17:54] Oogami**
Yes, good.
**[17:55] Oogami**
Just as I hoped.
**[17:58] Oogami**
I felt your left arm break back there.
**[18:02] Oogami**
Yet you're still standing...
**[18:05] Oogami**
The first time I got this way...
**[18:08] Oogami**
I was... ten or eleven, I think.
**[18:10] Oogami**
A little kid, anyway.
**[18:13] ---**
*A Kingdom for Everyone*
**[18:13] (Flashback) Head**
What's this crap?
**[18:15] (Flashback) Kuroiwa**
G-Give that back!
**[18:17] (Flashback) Head**
*A Kingdom For Everyone*?
**[18:17] ---**
*A Kingdom for Everyone*
**[18:19] (Flashback) Head**
Still reading this crap at
your age, you little shit?
**[18:22] (Flashback) Head**
Listen up.
**[18:23] (Flashback) Head**
Animals and insects take
care of their young.
**[18:26] (Flashback) Head**
But even your parents threw you away!
**[18:27] (Flashback) Head**
You're only alive because of me!
**[18:30] (Flashback) Head**
That puts you below animals and insects!
**[18:33] ---**
*A Kingdom for Everyone*
**[18:33] (Flashback) Head**
You owe me a huge debt!
**[18:35] (Flashback) Head**
Stop reading this crap,
**[18:37] (Flashback) Head**
and start thinking about how to pay me back!
**[18:39] (Flashback) Head**
Trash!
**[18:40] ---**
*A Kingdom for Everyone*
**[18:44] ---**
*A Kingdom for Everyone*
**[18:51] ---**
*A Kingdom for Everyone*
**[18:56] (Flashback) Head**
I didn't tell you to move!
**[18:58] (Flashback) Momo**
Next time... I swear... I'll protect you.
**[19:02] (Flashback) Pri**
You're all trash!
**[19:04] (Flashback) Pri**
You're only alive because of me!
**[19:06] (Flashback) Pri**
There's nowhere you can go but here!
**[19:09] (Flashback) Pri**
You're trash! You don't
even deserve fairy tales!
**[19:12] (Flashback) Pri**
You'd better think about how to pay me back!
**[19:16] ---**
*A Kingdom for Everyone*
**[19:16] (Flashback) Pri**
You hear me?!
**[19:25] (Flashback) Kuroiwa**
I wish we could make a
kingdom for ourselves,
**[19:28] (Flashback) Kuroiwa**
just like in the book.
**[19:29] (Flashback) Oogami**
Let's do it, then!
**[19:31] (Flashback) Oogami**
We'll make a free kingdom,
where we can do whatever we want!
**[19:35] (Flashback) Oogami**
A place where we belong!
**[19:37] ---**
*A Kingdom for Everyone*
**[19:46] (Flashback) Pri**
Stupid trash...
**[19:49] (Flashback) Pri**
Where's my ashtray?!
**[19:50] (Flashback) Pri**
When I'm smoking, you bring me my ashtray!
**[19:54] (Flashback) Pri**
Trash!
**[20:01] Oogami**
I'm still stuck in that day.
**[20:05] Oogami**
When I feel too much pain,
**[20:07] Oogami**
the way I felt then comes
back, crystal clear,
**[20:10] Oogami**
and I get like this.
**[20:12] Oogami**
When I get like this, I don't feel anything.
**[20:14] Oogami**
No one can stop me.
**[20:17] Oogami**
I think that man might've been right.
**[20:19] Oogami**
I might not be human at all.
**[20:25] Yuuri**
You asked us what you are?
**[20:29] Yuuri**
When I look at your scars,
**[20:31] Yuuri**
I think of two little girls.
**[20:36] Yuuri**
Riria...
**[20:40] Oogami**
And you think those kids'll
turn out like me?
**[20:45] Yuuri**
I really hope they won't.
**[20:48] Yuuri**
But I don't know!
**[20:50] Yuuri**
And yet...
**[20:52] Yuuri**
Even if someone treated
you like you're not...
**[20:55] Yuuri**
You're still human, and so are they!
**[20:58] Yuuri**
That's why I can stop you.
**[21:01] Yuuri**
I *will* stop you, right now!
**[21:03] Fb**
It's like that first time
we just happened to meet...
**[21:04] Yuuri**
I've always hated the idea of random chance.
**[21:05] Fb**
Just random chance!
**[21:07] Fb**
entirely at random!
**[21:08] Fb**
Because I *just happened* to
have you with that man...
**[21:14] Yuuri**
But this isn't random.
**[21:16] Yuuri**
None of this is random!
**[21:18] Yuuri**
I didn't "just happen" to be born,
or to end up here...
**[21:21] Yuuri**
And that's why... I'm going to end it!

**[00:41] Oogami**
*This bitch is hell...*
**[00:44] Oogami**
*Hellishly strong!*
**[00:50] Oogami**
*Sacrificing her left arm to take out my arm.*
**[00:54] Oogami**
*What the hell is she made of?*
**[00:57] Yuuri**
Now we're even!
**[01:00] Yuuri**
What?!
**[01:03] Oogami**
That won't work.
**[01:05] Oogami**
Too bad for you.
**[01:07] Oogami**
I told you...
**[01:09] Oogami**
I don't feel anything right now
but the pain from that day.
**[01:14] Oogami**
Even if my arm is broken...
**[01:17] Oogami**
It won't slow me down!
**[01:20] Oogami**
You're the one finished here!
**[01:24] Oogami**
*What in the world is she?*
**[01:28] Oogami**
*Why won't she drop?*
**[01:30] Oogami**
*Her left arm's in pieces.*
**[01:32] Oogami**
*She's battered head to toe.*
**[01:34] Oogami**
*She shouldn't even be able to stand!*
**[01:39] Oogami**
So, what, you don't feel pain either?
**[01:41] Yuuri**
No, it hurts like hell.
**[01:45] Yuuri**
But... what about you?
**[01:49] Yuuri**
Do you really not feel anything?
**[01:53] Yuuri**
Or are you just using that as
an excuse while running from the pain?
**[01:58] Oogami**
Running? From the pain?
**[02:03] Yuuri**
I won't run away.
**[02:05] Yuuri**
I'll never lose.
**[02:07] Yuuri**
I'll never lose... to someone like you!
**[02:17] Yuuri**
"I don't feel anything."
**[02:19] Yuuri**
The hell you don't!
**[02:22] Yuuri**
You and me both...
**[02:24] Yuuri**
Even if we tell ourselves that...
**[02:26] Yuuri**
Even if we don't want to feel anything...
**[02:29] Yuuri**
We're still human.
**[02:36] Yuuri**
Right?
**[02:42] Yuuri**
I'm sorry.
**[02:44] Yuuri**
It's too late for me to save you.
**[02:48] Yuuri**
But...
**[02:51] Oogami**
That hurts...
**[02:53] Oogami**
It hurts like hell.
**[02:57] Oogami**
What the hell is this?
**[03:00] Yuuri**
This is your answer, Oogami.
**[03:03] Yuuri**
At the very least... I'll end it for you.

I've carried out your last request.

Akira Shiroyanagi...
**[06:23] Kuroiwa**
I won our final mind game.
**[06:27] Kuroiwa**
You win too,
**[06:31] Kuroiwa**
Ichi.
**[06:35] Mion**
I wonder. How will this end up?
**[06:40] Akira**
*Stop, Oogami!*

* Team Green has used one*
* Mion Point to execute a shout action!*
**[06:47] Mion**
* This message is being broadcast*

**[06:51] Oogami**
So you're still out there,
**[06:54] Oogami**
Akira Shiroyanagi?
**[06:57] Ringo**
*What in the world are you doing, Akira?*
**[07:02] Akira**
Don't kill Yuuri and the others.
**[07:04] Akira**
*I have a proposal if you don't.*
**[07:06] Oogami**
A proposal?
**[07:09] Akira**
I'm Green's king.
**[07:11] Akira**
I'm heading your way now.
**[07:12] Akira**
Let's finish things one-on-one.
**[07:16] Akira**
*If you kill Yuuri and the others,*
**[07:18] Akira**
*I'll kill Kuroiwa and disappear.*
**[07:21] Akira**
Kuroiwa's already out of the running.
**[07:23] Akira**
If I hunt his freed slaves, I can earn 15 MP.
**[07:27] Akira**
*That will let me find you at any time.*
**[07:30] Akira**
As long as I hide, you have no way of winning.
**[07:35] Akira**
*But if you don't harm Yuuri and the others,*
**[07:39] Akira**
I'll appear before you right now.
**[07:40] Akira**
*I'll appear before you right now.*
**[07:46] Oogami**
I see...
**[07:50] (Flashback) Fb**
I wish we could make a
kingdom for ourselves,
**[07:53] (Flashback) Fb**
just like in the book.
**[07:54] (Flashback) Fb**
Let's do it, then!
**[07:56] (Flashback) Fb**
We'll make a free kingdom,
where we can do whatever we want!
**[08:06] Akira**
Is that you, Oogami?
**[08:07] Oogami**
*Yeah.*
**[08:09] Akira**
Can I assume this means
you accept my proposal?
**[08:13] Oogami**
Kuro's dead either way, right?
**[08:14] Oogami**
*Kuro's dead either way, right?*
**[08:17] Oogami**
*Forget that bargaining chip.*
**[08:20] Oogami**
Kuro wouldn't try to stop me
from fighting the way I want.
**[08:26] Oogami**
Sealing her ability was
his way of telling me...
**[08:32] Kuroiwa**
Create our kingdom.
**[08:34] Kuroiwa**
Nothing else matters.
**[08:38] Kuroiwa**
*That was all we had.*
**[08:41] Kuroiwa**
*Wasn't it, Ichi?*
**[08:46] Oogami**
*Idiot.*
**[08:48] Oogami**
* What's the point of having*
* our kingdom if you aren't in it?*
**[08:56] Oogami**
Fine.
**[08:59] Oogami**
*I still have to finish you off either way.*
**[09:02] Oogami**
If I do this...
**[09:05] Oogami**
Having you appear before me is to my benefit.
**[09:09] Oogami**
*Kuro'll be so mad at me.*
**[09:13] Oogami**
*I accept your proposal.*
**[09:17] Oogami**
You killed Kuro, so I'll kill you.
**[09:20] Oogami**
And that's the end of it!
**[09:23] Akira**
I want proof that she's alive.
**[09:25] Akira**
*Let me talk to Yuuri.*
**[09:33] ---**
*Akira Shiroyanagi*
**[09:34] Akira**
*Yuuri. Can you hear me, Yuuri?*
**[09:36] Yuuri**
Aki...ra?
**[09:38] Akira**
*You okay?*
**[09:39] Yuuri**
I'm sorry. I...
**[09:41] Akira**
I'm on my way now, Yuuri.
**[09:43] Akira**
You hear me?
**[09:44] Yuuri**
To take my place?
**[09:47] Akira**
Yes. Leave it to me.
**[09:49] ---**
*Akira Shiroyanagi*
**[09:50] Oogami**
Come on quick.
**[09:52] Oogami**
Don't be late or I'll kill them all.
**[09:56] Oogami**
*And don't do anything stupid.*
**[10:00] Shima**
You can't! It's too reckless!
**[10:03] Shirasagi**
He'll be all right.
**[10:07] Shirasagi**
I believe he can do this.
**[10:13] Ringo**
Akira!
**[10:15] Katsuya**
*Yuuri's out. Akira's facing Oogami one-on-one.*
**[10:19] Katsuya**
*Seems pretty hopeless.*
**[10:22] Katsuya**
*But Akira... I know ya can...*
**[10:26] Rin**
We're reaching the finale, it seems.
**[10:28] Rin**
But it doesn't matter who wins.
**[10:30] Rin**
Not to me, anyway.
**[10:35] Mion**
Hitting the climax, huh?
**[10:37] Mion**
Show me a good time.
**[10:52] Oogami**
Thinking back...
**[10:54] Oogami**
Kuro was worried about you from the start.
**[10:59] Oogami**
Guess this was inevitable.
**[11:01] Akira**
Perhaps.
**[11:03] Akira**
*Yes, he's right.*
**[11:05] Akira**
* We've been through a lot,*
* but where I've ended up...*
**[11:08] Akira**
*No, where I've brought myself to...*
**[11:11] Akira**
*is here, where Yuuri is.*
**[11:14] Yuuri**
Akira...
**[11:19] Oogami**
*My kingdom's gone, and I got my answer.*
**[11:24] Oogami**
*Sorry, Kuro,*
**[11:27] Oogami**
*but it seems I've had enough.*
**[11:30] Oogami**
*I want to avenge you.*
**[11:32] Oogami**
*That's all I need...*
**[11:34] Oogami**
*to murder him!*
**[11:37] Oogami**
*That's right... Kuro said it...*
**[11:40] (Flashback) Fb**
His real ability isn't the cannon.
**[11:44] Oogami**
But that doesn't matter to us!
**[11:47] Oogami**
Watch me, Kuro!
**[11:49] Oogami**
I'll smash through anything he brings and win!
**[11:51] Akira**
*Yes, I bet you would.*
**[11:53] Akira**
*That's why I decided on this.*
**[11:55] Akira**
*My final ability of this battle...*
**[11:57] Akira**
Let's go, Yuuri!
**[12:10] Oogami**
What?!
**[12:12] Akira**
We're the winners here!
**[12:19] (Flashback) Yuuri**
You got it wrong, Akira.
**[12:20] (Flashback) Yuuri**
You gotta punch with the hips,
not just the arm.
**[12:25] (Flashback) Yuuri**
But are you sure this will work?
**[12:27] (Flashback) Yuuri**
Basing this ability off what I imagine...
**[12:31] (Flashback) Akira**
Testing your quintuple ability before
**[12:33] (Flashback) Akira**
made it clear I can't fight freely with it.
**[12:37] (Flashback) Akira**
But this should be easy for you to imagine,
**[12:40] (Flashback) Akira**
and if I can just hit him with
one punch in a moment,
**[12:43] (Flashback) Akira**
and spend the rest of my time practicing,
**[12:45] (Flashback) Akira**
it should work out.
**[12:46] (Flashback) Yuuri**
But you won't be able to
hit him if you can't move.
**[12:50] (Flashback) Akira**
In the circumstances under which I'd
use this, I can just land a counter blow.
**[12:54] (Flashback) Akira**
An instant strike will overpower
Oogami's speed and defenses.
**[13:00] (Flashback) Akira**
The ability we use together...
**[13:03] Akira**
Decuple physical ability strike!
**[13:11] Oogami**
*Is this the end?*
**[13:14] Oogami**
*I lived a rotten life.*
**[13:17] Oogami**
*But, Kuro...*
**[13:20] Oogami**
*I gotta say...*
**[13:23] Oogami**
*It wasn't a bad time.*
**[13:26] (Flashback) Fb**
Let's do it, then! A place where we belong!
**[13:32] Oogami**
*Yeah...*
**[13:34] Oogami**
*It was right there all along.*
**[13:37] Oogami**
*Our...*
**[14:06] Oogami**
That hurts.
**[14:08] Oogami**
It really hurts.
**[14:12] Oogami**
Tell that hellishly strong girl...
**[14:17] Oogami**
Those kids that my scars remind her of...
**[14:21] Oogami**
Tell her to help 'em out.
**[14:48] Mion**
* Capture of interface of Team Red's king,*
* Oogami, confirmed.*
**[14:54] Mion**
* Battle quest "Hunt the King"*
* ends with Team Green the victor!*
**[15:06] Shima**
Heck yeah!
**[15:09] Shima**
Leader!
**[15:39] Akira**
Yuuri... I...
**[15:46] Akira**
I'm sorry.
**[15:48] Yuuri**
I know.
**[15:49] Yuuri**
But you still came in the end.
**[15:52] Yuuri**
I believed you would.
**[15:58] Mion**
Congratulations, Akira Shiroyanagi.
**[16:01] Mion**
Sorry to interrupt the fun,
**[16:03] Mion**
but as this quest's king,
**[16:05] Mion**
there's one last job I need you to do.
**[16:08] Akira**
Job?
**[16:10] Mion**
There's a place you need to go to receive
your team's reward and discuss what comes next.
**[16:15] Mion**
You might even learn a little more
about what you want to know!
**[16:21] Yuuri**
What are you doing?
**[16:22] Black**
We're taking you on stretchers.
**[16:24] Black**
Don't struggle.
**[16:27] Mion**
Don't worry.
**[16:28] Mion**
You can see them again once
your role as king is done.
**[16:32] Mion**
There are some preparations to make,
so I'll be waiting in that tower.
**[16:45] Akira**
*If I keep moving through the program,*
**[16:47] Akira**
*I can get closer to their core*
**[16:48] Akira**
*and to Mion.*
**[16:50] Akira**
*Just as I thought.*
**[16:52] Akira**
*I'm not like I was before.*
**[16:54] Akira**
*I'll trace them to their origin.*
**[16:58] Iori**
Congratulations on Team Green's victory.
**[17:02] Iori**
Akira, wasn't it?
**[17:05] Akira**
*Team Blue's leader, Omoto...*
**[17:08] Akira**
*What are you doing here?*
**[17:11] Iori**
You promised me 200 points
if I participated, remember?
**[17:15] Akira**
I don't have them myself.
**[17:18] Akira**
Our team will—
**[17:19] Iori**
Oh?
**[17:20] Iori**
Never mind, then.
**[17:21] Iori**
But I did want to tell you something.
**[17:25] Iori**
I saw everything.
**[17:28] Iori**
Well, not everything...
**[17:29] Iori**
But it was very impressive.
**[17:31] Iori**
Your cute girlfriend, Yuuri, did have
an impressive ability indeed.
**[17:38] Iori**
But I find your ability similarly intriguing.
**[17:42] Akira**
*Did he see me?*
**[17:44] Akira**
*If he did...*
**[17:45] Akira**
*Then the reason he's here...*
**[17:47] Akira**
I didn't notice.
**[17:49] Akira**
Where were you?
**[17:50] Akira**
*Buy time.*
**[17:52] Akira**
*Draw out information.*
**[17:54] Akira**
Your teammate Kirisaki participated too, right?
**[17:56] Akira**
*What did he see?*
**[17:57] ---**
*What did he see?*
**[17:58] Akira**
*And what's his ability?*
**[17:59] ---**
*What did he see?
Unknown Ability*
**[18:00] Akira**
*Is it one I haven't seen?*
**[18:01] ---**
*What did he see?
Unknown Ability
Buy Some Time*
**[18:01] Akira**
*Or...*
**[18:02] Akira**
*I just need a starting point.*
**[18:02] ---**
*What did he see?
Unknown Ability
Buy Some Time
Information*
**[18:03] Akira**
*Then I can intuit it.*
**[18:04] ---**
*What did he see?
Unknown Ability
Buy Some Time
Information
What's His Goal?*
**[18:06] Iori**
Hold on a minute.
**[18:08] Iori**
No need for all that.
**[18:11] Iori**
If you're interested in my ability,
**[18:13] Iori**
I'll show it to you.
**[18:16] Iori**
I think you know it very well.
**[18:19] Iori**
Now, at this distance, how will you dodge it?
**[18:22] Iori**
I don't think you can.
**[18:31] Akira**
*Damn. I can't move!*
**[18:36] Iori**
I'm exhausted.
**[18:38] Iori**
I told you from the start that it
was clear how this would turn out,
**[18:43] Iori**
but you and I can no longer
ignore each other's existence.
**[18:48] Iori**
You owe me 200 points, and your life.
**[18:51] Akira**
What in the world do you want?
**[18:55] Iori**
You're going to see Mion, right?
**[18:57] Iori**
I'm sure she's watching this, too.
**[19:01] Iori**
Let her know that I'm going active.
**[19:05] Iori**
Incidentally, I have no interest in
you people, or in the program.
**[19:10] Iori**
My goal is simply
**[19:12] Iori**
to kill Mion with my own hands.
**[19:16] Iori**
I need you to help me get there.
**[19:19] Iori**
If you don't like it,
I'll take you off the board.
**[19:22] Iori**
That's all I wanted to say.
**[19:23] Akira**
Omoto...
**[19:25] Iori**
Well, see you in the fourth program...
**[19:29] Iori**
Mion's sweet prince.
**[19:33] Akira**
*Damn it.*
**[19:35] Akira**
*Where did I mess up?*
**[19:37] Akira**
*What caused this?*
**[19:39] Akira**
*No... long before I met them...*
**[20:02] Akira**
That dream again?
**[20:06] Akira**
Should I go to school today?
**[20:16] Akira**
*My heart seeks it out.*
**[20:45] Akira**
*Forget school.*
**[20:49] Akira**
*I want to play a game.*
**[20:51] Akira**
*A game to get immersed in, for however long.*
**[20:53] Akira**
*A game to escape this reality of mine.*
**[20:59] Akira**
*Receive a variety of objectives,*
**[21:02] Akira**
* then beat the enemies*
* or clear the obstacles.*
**[21:07] Akira**
* Games like that are the only*
* things I can really engage with.*
**[21:13] Akira**
*The only thing I can really lose myself in...*
**[21:18] Akira**
*My heart seeks it out.*
**[21:23] Akira**
*So let's keep it up.*
**[21:27] Akira**
Hey there, Yuuri.
**[21:33] Yuuri**
Akira!
**[21:34] Akira**
*Let's keep playing this game.*
**[22:49] Akira**
Nothing's over.
**[22:51] Akira**
The game continues.
