Battle Game in 5 Seconds

A new kind of battle of abilities for a new generation is about to begin! It all started on a regular morning like any other. Akira Shiroyanagi is a high school kid who loves nothing more than konpeito candy and games. One day, he ends up in a fight due to a mysterious girl named Mion. Mion then tells the people she had gathered that they no longer officially exist in any records. They were given powers and were about to be test subjects. Akira makes up his mind to use his powers to climb up the ranks and then crush this organization.

    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.

[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, yes...
[13:18] Mion
    He's my personal favorite.
[13:20] Aki
    What in the world is this ability?

    How am I supposed to use it?

[13:30] Aki
    Konpeito!
[13:38] Aki

    I guess they really do know me inside and out.
[13:47] Aki
    So much about this feels off...

    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
    That's right...
SIGN    No penalty for harm or death
[14:14] 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.
SIGN    <<Sophist>>
    
    Mr. Akira Shiroyanagi
    
    Your ability is
    "whatever the other person thinks your ability is."
[20:38] Mion
    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.'"
[20:54] Mion
    He arranged the conditions
    and timed it just right
[20:57] Mion
    to make sure his words were believed.
[21:01] Mion
    You're all that I hoped,
[21:03] Mion
    my sweet prince.
[21:06] Aki
    I made it through that one.
[21:08] Aki
    But there's a lot about this
    ability I still need to test.
[21:13] Aki
    One's ability determines the
    game's content and difficulty.
[21:16] Aki
    That's the part that makes
    this ability interesting.
[21:19] Aki
    I'll start by doing as they wish,
[21:22] Aki
    playing through their
    program using my ability.
[21:25] Aki
    Then I'll make that cat woman
    regret ever giving it to me.
[21:31] Aki
    The game's just getting started.

    The winner, Akira Shiroyanagi!
[00:14] Fb
    I made it through that one.
[00:16] Fb
    But there's a lot about this
    ability I still need to test.
[00:21] Fb
    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.
[00:32] Mion
    Isn't that right, Akira?
[00:35] Mion
    After all, your ability is...
SIGN    Your
SIGN    <<Sophist>>
    
    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...
[01:22] Aki
    ...and precisely...

    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

[05:21] (Flashback) Man

    It's also possible that they can,

    But if they're trying to size me up,

    I'll be happy to show them
    what I'm capable of.

    That ability really is amazing.

    It can track what another person is thinking,

    I don't feel particularly
    tired out by it, either.
[20:17] Aki
    Where does the power for it come from?
[20:19] Mion
    Where do you think?
[20:25] Mion
    From lifespan, of course!
[20:27] Mion
    The power source is someone's life.

[20:50] Aki
    They called that the first program.

    Which means it won't all be one-on-one.

    What's the next program, then?

    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.

    Should I tell my team my real ability?

[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
    won with my real ability.
SIGN    <<Plagiarist>>

[19:10] (Flashback) Fb
    I forfeit!
[19:12] Ring
    I'm so glad that surrender was an option!
[19:14] Ann
    Match three.
[19:16] Ann
    Madoka Kirisaki!
[19:17] Ann
    Saeko Zokumyoin!
[19:19] Ann
    Please enter the ring!
[19:21] Kiri
    Looks pretty scrawny to me.
[19:23] Aki
    Don't let your guard down, Kirisaki.
[19:26] Rin
    Zokumyoin...
[19:28] Rin
    Remember your promise.
[19:32] Ann
    Now, please begin!
[19:34] Kiri
    It'd be hard to dive into sword range
    with my hands bound like this.
[19:39] Kiri
    And I should probably keep
    my distance at first.
[19:45] Aki
    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...
[20:09] Yuu
    Not bad!
[20:10] Aki
    Marbles?
[20:11] Aki
    He was able to see it in that instant?
[20:14] Aki
    He's got some serious kinetic
    vision and reflexes.
[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!
[20:37] Sae
    I'll need to enlarge it
    before he bats it away!
[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.
[21:13] Kiri
    I'll bet Akira's caught on by now.
[21:15] Kiri

[01:47] Akira
    If Kirisaki's sword is a sword*
    that can cut through anything...
[01:51] Akira
    For someone with his kinetic

[01:54] Akira
    That ability's a perfect fit.
[01:57] Kirisaki
    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!
[04:50] Mion Announcer
    Looks like someone's unconscious!
[04:53] Mion Announcer
    Saeko Zokumyoin wins!
[04:56] Saeko
    I did it!
[05:05] Akira
    Hey. How'd you lose that one?
[05:09] Akira
    I'm starting to think
    you're kind of an idiot.
[05:13] Mion Announcer
    The ring is cleared up, so we'll resume now!
[05:17] Mion Announcer
    Akira Shiroyanagi!

    Akira... Shiroyanagi?
[05:25] Ringo
    Could he be...
[05:26] Yuuri
    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.
[06:13] Mion Announcer
    Now, please begin!
SIGN    <<Sophist>>
    
    Mr. Akira Shiroyanagi
    
    Your ability is
    "whatever the other person thinks your ability is."
[06:16] Akira
    What does the phrase "the
    other person" indicate?
SIGN    The Other Person
[06:19] Akira
    Who of the eight people here can
    be considered "the other person"?
[06:24] Akira
    Can it apply to those on the enemy team,
    other than my opponent?
[06:27] Akira
    Kirisaki, my ally?
[06:29] Akira
    Yuuri? Kumagiri?
[06:32] Akira
    If he's the only available "other person,"
[06:35] Akira
    when, precisely, is that status assigned?
[06:37] Akira
    Who, and in what exact moment,
    fulfills the condition of my ability?
[06:41] Akira
    Time to experiment.
[06:48] Akira
    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
    have a fast-attack ability.
[07:02] Akira
    Time to move on to phase two, then.
[07:08] Kitajima
    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    <<Sophist>>
    
    Mr. Akira Shiroyanagi
    
    Your ability is
    "whatever the other person thinks your ability is."

    acknowledgment of mutual engagement
SIGN    The other person
    about to shoot me
SIGN    The other person
    in the ring with me
[11:52] Akira
    between myself and my target.
[11:54] Akira
    His team members outside the
    ring might see me as an enemy,
[11:58] Akira
    but they don't consider
    themselves engaged with me.
[12:00] Akira
    That's why it didn't activate.
[12:02] Kirisaki
    Hey! Akira!
[12:04] Kirisaki
    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
    Match five will now begin!
[12:44] Yuuri
    Guess I'm up, huh?
[12:47] Yuuri
    Why do I seem to get stuck
    fighting all the weirdos?

    That stupid piece of...

    Yuuri?
[13:24] Kirisaki
    You know that guy or somethin'?
[13:27] Yuuri
    You freaking lived through that, too?!

    Calm down, Yuuri!

    It's his fault I'm here!

[13:52] Yuuri
    Come on up.
[13:53] Yuuri
    I'm gonna finish this.
[13:55] Ouji
    I'll go anywhere at all.
[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.

    The cuffs are about to unlock.
[01:41] Announcer
    Please take your interface.
[01:46] Announcer
    I will now explain the third program.
[01:49] Announcer
    You currently have 100 points.
[01:51] Announcer
    Please collect 1,000 points.
[01:53] Announcer

    The time is now 1:18 PM.

    For the next thirty minutes,
[02:16] Announcer
    every person knocked out in
    Block A is worth ten points.
[02:19] Announcer
    Please begin!
[02:22] Akira
    This has to be Block A.
[02:24] Akira
    Do I stay here, or keep moving?
[02:27] Akira
    No question—I run!
[02:31] Akira
    One thousand points is the goal.
[02:33] Akira
    Ten points per person in 30
    minutes is a trivial amount.
[02:36] Akira
    This is likely an ongoing game.
[02:38] Akira
    And I think others have entered the
    third program ahead of us!
[02:47] Akira
    I still don't have a feel
    for how this program works.
[02:51] Akira
    I'm at an immense disadvantage.

    Lucky me!
[02:58] Katsuya
    I'm the first one here.
[03:00] Akira
    They know where we come out?

[03:10] Katsuya
    Hear me out, won't ya?
[03:13] Katsuya
    I'm not here to fight ya.
[03:16] Akira
    You set up an ambush,
    but you don't want to fight?
[03:19] Akira
    That seems unlikely.
[03:20] Katsuya
    But that really isn't why I'm here!

    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.

    Who is this kid?

    Say, what's all this "Reds"
    and "Greens" stuff, anyway?

    Will you take me to Team Green?

[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

    will turn the tables now.

[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.

    him than just the cannon.

[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?

    if we stood a chance against

[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
    amount of points than usual.
[08:56] Shirasagi
    I want everyone with appropriate
    abilities to participate.
[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: <<Ironwall>>"
[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:
     <<Worldwalker>>"
[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    <<Loanshark>>
    
    Mr. Masaya Kuroiwa

    forcibly collect

[17:14] Kuroiwa
    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—

    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!

[19:34] Shirasagi
    I can't afford to make
    the same mistake twice.
[19:39] Shirasagi
    I used to think that my job upholding
    the law was the most important thing...
[19:43] Shirasagi
    Until that day.
[19:46] Shirasagi
    What would you think if
    you saw me now, Ritsuko?
[19:52] Shirasagi
    Using it will compromise our
    ability to dismantle Team Red...
[19:58] Shirasagi
    But I cannot sacrifice the things
    that matter to me again!
[20:08] Shirasagi
    Negotiation breakdown!
[20:33] Yuuri
    H-He did it!
[20:34] Yuuri
    He took out that monster all by himself!
[20:37] Shirasagi
    When I end negotiations,
[20:40] Shirasagi
    I can turn the damage the attacker
    dealt back on them to end things.
[20:45] Shirasagi
    He'll know my ability's secret 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.

    Yuuri, you need to get through this alive

    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...

    It all just sounds like excuses to me!

[03:01] Akira
    I'll get through this...

    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.

[03:42] 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

    Over there, maybe?

    If we get this wrong...

    Don't worry! I trust you!
[04:09] Akira
    Let's go!

    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.

    Not yet...

    Okay!

    Yuuri!
[04:41] Akira
    Now!

[04:57] Akira
    Finally got in close.

    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?

    It's not over yet!

    Yuuri!

    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!

    What's so funny?
[06:03] Yuuri
    You're the ones responsible for all of this!

    What are you laughing about?!

    That won't work.

    and the quest is over.

    You want to fight me next?

    Or three on one if Old Man
    Shirasagi is still up for it.

    I didn't tell you not to fight.

    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!

    How would you feel about an
    even more exciting quest?

[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
    For more information, check your interfaces.
[13:36] Mion
    This is the instruction manual for
    the battle quest "Hunt the King"!
[13:40] Mion
    Complete the quest by
    stealing enemy interfaces!
[13:43] Mion
    Each interface you steal
    gets you one Mion Point!
[13:47] Mion
    Captured interfaces are considered
    "dead" and can't be used!
[13:50] Mion
    The interfaces are linked to your cuffs!
[13:53] Mion
    If they get three meters
    away from you, they die!
[13:56] Mion
    If your interface dies, your cuffs activate,
[13:59] 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
    you get a ten Mion Point
    bonus while it's there!
[14:15] Mion
    You can trade those points you've
    earned to get Mion to do you a favor!

[14:35] Katsuya
    Team Red will try to seal
    our leader's ability, too.
[14:39] Katsuya
    We have to prevent that.
[14:48] Man In Black
    Now, please register your team's king!
[14:51] Katsuya
    Sir...
[14:56] Man In Black
    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    <<Guardian>>
    
    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.

    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    <<Collector>>
    
     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    <<Swordsmith>>
    
    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.

    The sight of you weeping,

    Sir?
SIGN    Episode 10 "Diamondhand"
[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!

    Now I've got your neck in a guillotine.

    Feel like begging for your life?

    I have only one thing to say.

    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
    is not the cannon
[10:15] Akira
    "He uses a cannon, but
    that's not his ability."
[10:18] Akira
    Ambiguity like that is a breeding
    ground for speculation.
[10:23] Akira
    Who's in control of who here?
[10:27] Akira
    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.
[10:37] Ringo
    He was killed with a blade...
[10:41] Ringo
    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!
[10:52] Shirasagi
    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
    Leader!
[11:11] Shirasagi
    Stay back!
[11:13] Shirasagi
    She's dangerous.
[11:15] Shima
    Momoko... What are you doing?
[11:18] Shirasagi
    Your surprise attack failed.
    You know you can't beat me now.
SIGN    <<Mediator>>
    
    Mr. Yuuto Shirasagi
    
    Your ability is "the ability to
    conduct peaceful negotiations
     with the other party."
[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...
[12:57] Ringo
    Out of respect for our leader's devotion...
[12:59] Ringo
    I can't let you have that child!
SIGN    Mion
[13:02] Mion
    So very sorry! You haven't won yet!
[13:06] Kuroiwa
    I was informed that we
    killed Shirasagi, though.
[13:10] Mion
    Oh, did you?
[13:11] Mion
    But you haven't taken Green's king.
[13:16] Kuroiwa
    That's right.
[13:18] Kuroiwa
    We were able to choose our own king.
[13:22] Kuroiwa
    Are you the king, then?
[13:29] Momoko
    I have a great number
    of things to ask you.
[13:37] Momoko
    Really, now...
[13:38] Momoko
    You can't retrieve Taro
    if you keep hiding...
[13:42] Ringo
    I'm afraid.
[13:43] Ringo
    I really can't do this.
[13:48] (Flashback) Akira
    You don't think you can do it?
[13:49] (Flashback) Ringo
    Even if I stay with our
    leader just in case...
[13:52] (Flashback) Ringo
    My ability won't be useful at all.
[13:56] (Flashback) Akira
    Have you ever really tried
    to copy an enemy's ability?
[14:00] (Flashback) Ringo
    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.

    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.

    What?

[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

    So it doesn't really matter what yours is.
[00:07] Akira
    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!
[00:50] Slave
    Please, no!
[00:52] Slave
    Help me! Please!
[00:56] Akira
    This is how Kuroiwa's power works?
[00:58] Akira
    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    <<Loanshark>>
    
    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.

    which meant he'd already
    taken out our leader.
[09:29] Akira
    That's when I decided I'd
    use this ability...

    Our leader's ability, to take him down.
[09:35] Akira

    The chains!
[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

[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.

    Today we'll be interviewing the kind-hearted
    headmaster of Shin'ai Academy,

    Yet you're still standing...

    When I feel too much pain,

    back, crystal clear,

    When I get like this, I don't feel anything.

[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.
