# 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.

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

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.*

*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.

I guess they really do know me inside and out.
**[13:47] Aki**
So much about this feels off...
**[13:50] Aki**
That woman's actions, most of all.
**[13:52] Aki**
Yes, it's almost like she...
***SIGN*** Time Until One-on-One 18:41:37

Wh-What was that?!

*Someone testing their ability?*
**[14:02] Aki**
*That vibration and sound...*
**[14:05] Aki**
* What if someone with a powerful*

*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*.

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**

Don't you have work today, Yuuri?
**[03:35] (Flashback) Yuu**
No shifts today.
**[03:37] (Flashback) B**
Wanna hang out, then?
**[03:39] (Flashback) Yuu**
No money.

Huh? You're working so hard you're

It just happened to bark, is all.
**[04:08] (Flashback) A**
Just random chance!
**[04:10] (Flashback) Yuu**
Don't talk to me about "it just
happened" and "random chance."

*I hate "random chance."*

*Back then, too...*

Is this the famous daughter?

Isn't he wonderful?

We just happened to meet at a bar.
**[05:08] (Flashback) Man**
It felt like destiny, though.
**[05:10] Yuu**
*Not again.*
**[05:10] Man**
I never see women as hot as her there.
**[05:12] Yuu**
* The men mom "just happens" to bring*

*I despise them.*
**[05:18] (Flashback) Man**
How can you have such a
grown-up daughter, Minako?
**[05:21] (Flashback) Man**
You've got to be way too young.
**[05:24] (Flashback) Mi**
Oh, you sweet-talker!
**[05:26] (Flashback) Mi**
Oh, Yuuri?
**[05:28] (Flashback) Mi**
He's got a kid, too.

She's a girl, like you.
**[05:32] (Flashback) Mi**
You'll look after her now
and again, won't you?
**[05:35] Man**
Hey, what a great idea!

"Just happened" to choose me, huh?

How funny.
**[07:49] Yuu**
Actually, it's not funny at all!
**[07:53] Yuu**
Give me a break!

You can't lock me up based on random chance!
**[07:58] Yuu**
Let me out! Let me out!
**[08:00] Yuu**
Let me go home!
**[08:06] Yuu**
I really have to... get home.
**[08:13] Mion**
Isn't she interesting?
**[08:14] Mion**
A very strong candidate!
**[08:16] Mion**
What's her ability?
**[08:18] Yang**
Well, her name is Yuuri Amagake.
**[08:21] Yang**
Her ability is...

This ability with that personality?

This might be *quite* interesting indeed.

**[08:45] Yuu**
What in the world?

What does that mean?

How am I supposed to test it?
**[09:06] Yuu**
No freaking way.
**[09:08] Yuu**
Wow...
**[09:11] Yuu**
I wonder...
**[09:13] Mion**
How very predictable!
**[09:18] Yuu**
Oh, come on!
**[09:19] Yuu**
This stupid ability is totally useless!
**[09:23] Yang**
I hope she didn't think we'd give her
an ability that would let her escape.

*This is always how it is for me.*

*Nothing ever goes my way.*

Riria...
**[10:00] Yuu**
*Oh, Mom's new boyfriend's kid.*

Um... they told me to stay here with you.
**[10:08] (Flashback) Yuu**
Oh, yeah?
**[10:09] (Flashback) Yuu**
When'd they go out?
**[10:11] (Flashback) Rir**
Dunno. This morning.

This morning?
**[10:15] (Flashback) Yuu**
What did you have for breakfast?
**[10:28] (Flashback) Yuu**
Hey, c'mon. Take it easy there!
**[10:41] (Flashback) Rir**
Th-Thank you very much.
**[10:43] (Flashback) Yuu**
You've got good manners
for such a little kid.
**[10:46] (Flashback) Rir**
And you're a really good cook.
**[10:48] (Flashback) Yuu**
You think so?

Of course I do, Yuuri.
**[12:06] (Flashback) Mi**
I have you.
**[12:10] (Flashback) Mi**
And because I had you...
**[12:12] (Flashback) Mi**
Because I *just happened* to
have you with that man...

My entire life was ruined!

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

someone on the other side of Earth dies!

Just kidding!

It's time.
**[20:50] Aki**
*They called that the first program.*
**[20:53] Aki**
*Which means it won't all be one-on-one.*
**[20:56] Aki**
*What's the next program, then?*
**[21:01] Guide**
Go inside.
**[21:21] Aki**
You?

Team battles?

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*

**[00:29] Aki**

**[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**

**[20:00] Kiri**
An ability that turns marbles into

**[20:05] Kiri**
Good thing I swiped it away just in case...

**[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!*

Now it's my turn, girlie!

* I'll need to enlarge it*

**[20:43] Sae**
H-He's so fast!
**[20:45] Kiri**
You think I couldn't see

**[20:47] Sae**
Then I'll try three at once!
**[20:54] Sae**
And one more!
**[20:57] Kuma**
Kirisaki!
**[21:04] Kuma**
Not bad at all.
**[21:06] Kuma**
You had a pretty good idea there.
**[21:08] Yuu**
Incredible. He cut it in half.

Hey, girlie. You get it, don't ya?
**[02:00] Kirisaki**
Ain't no way you can beat
me with your ability.
**[02:04] Kirisaki**
Why not forfeit already?
**[02:07] Saeko**
* If I forfeit now... there's no*

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

Hey. How'd you lose that one?

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

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

Mr. Akira Shiroyanagi
Your ability is

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

*Experiment phase one over.*
**[06:56] Akira**

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

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

Yuuri?
**[13:24] Kirisaki**
You know that guy or somethin'?

**[13:29] Akira**
Calm down, Yuuri!

We'd better make it official with a wedding!
**[13:44] Yuuri**
Last warning, you guys...
**[13:47] Yuuri**
Hands off!
**[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.

You set up an ambush,

**[03:19] Akira**
That seems unlikely.

But that really isn't why I'm here!

I don't wanna fight

**[07:52] Mitsuru**

**[07:54] Mitsuru**
Who's gonna tell the boss about this?
**[08:13] Katsuya**
You saved me, but I haven't even
introduced myself, let alone said thanks.
**[08:18] Katsuya**
I'm Katsuya Saitou.
**[08:20] Akira**
You don't need to thank us.
**[08:22] Akira**
You tried to save us first, after all.
**[08:25] Akira**
Those men wanted to drag
us away against our will.
**[08:30] Akira**
It seems clear that they
meant to do us harm.
**[08:34] Akira**
In response, you didn't hesitate to show
your ability and fight to protect us.
**[08:40] Akira**
"Protect anyone—ally or not—from the Reds."
**[08:44] Akira**
Is that your philosophy...
the Greens' philosophy?
**[08:48] Akira**
Our names are Akira Shiroyanagi

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

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

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

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

**[01:04] Shirasagi**

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

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

*It's only natural that they'd monitor us.*

*We've agreed to work together.*
**[06:15] Akira**
*And I'll explain about my power later, too.*
**[06:18] Akira**
* In the meantime, feel free*

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

* Then I can have a rematch*

*I will.*

*It's whatever the other person thinks it is.*

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: <>"
**[13:05] Katsuya**
It's coming!
**[13:06] Katsuya**
Ya sure this is what ya want?
**[13:08] Mari**
Yes.
**[13:09] Mari**
Curse doll...
**[13:18] Mari**
See?
**[13:19] Katsuya**
Scary!
***SIGN*** Tooru Joushima
Team C Leader
"The ability to teleport:
<>"
**[13:26] Akira**
Yuuri! You see Team C's leader's ability?
**[13:29] Yuuri**
Yes!
**[13:30] Yuuri**
Is that teleportation?
**[13:39] Akira**
*Just as I thought!*
**[13:42] Yuuri**
*Agreement?*
**[13:43] Akira**
*Yeah.*
**[13:44] Akira**
* First, I want you to keep thinking*
* that my ability is telepathy.*
**[13:49] Yuuri**
* But then how will you*
* fight with your cannon?*
**[13:52] Akira**
*It's covered.*
**[13:53] Akira**
* Everyone else still thinks*
* my ability is the cannon.*
**[13:57] Akira**
* So when I want to use the cannon,*
* I'll just switch to someone else.*
**[14:02] Akira**
* Whatever the other person*
* thinks my ability is...*
**[14:06] Akira**
* "The other person" can be anyone who*
* sees themselves as engaged with me.*
**[14:13] Akira**
*"The other person about to shoot me."*
**[14:15] Akira**
*"The other person I'm about to fight."*
**[14:17] Akira**
* The question is whether anybody but Yuuri*
* will be engaged with me out there.*
**[14:23] Akira**
*The leader is a cautious person.*
**[14:25] Akira**
* If the people with rare abilities like ours*
* want to fight, he'll make full use of us,*
**[14:31] Akira**
* but he'll task trusted allies to watch*
* over us to make sure we're not lost.*
**[14:37] Akira**
* They'll always be thinking of me as*
* "the other person I'm watching out for"!*
**[14:42] Akira**
*This will work.*
**[14:44] Akira**
* I can switch between abilities by having*
* engagements with multiple people.*
**[14:48] Akira**
* With Yuuri's help, I can move*
* my ability to the next stage!*
**[14:52] Mion**
Akira's really going at it.
**[14:55] Mion**
But I wonder how long he can keep it up...
**[15:19] Akira**
Is that Team Red?
**[15:22] Yuuki**
Hey, it's the cannon kid
we've heard so much about!
**[15:24] Yuuki**
Just like Mr. Masa said!
**[15:26] Kuroiwa**
Lower your voice before I kill you.
**[15:28] Yuuki**
Yeah, right! Sorry!
**[15:29] Yuuki**
Uh, sorry...
**[15:31] Oogami**
But sending out a new recruit like that...
**[15:33] Oogami**
Are the Greens getting desperate?
**[15:35] Kuroiwa**
They prioritize point acquisition,
even if it means we see their abilities.
**[15:40] Kuroiwa**
But knowing Shirasagi, I would expect...
**[15:45] Shirasagi**
*I wasn't expecting Kuroiwa to show.*
**[15:47] Shirasagi**
*I don't want him watching us!*
**[15:49] Akira**
*We should hide our abilities.*
**[15:51] Akira**
*Yuuri! Try to limit—*
**[15:54] Yuuri**
Huh?
**[15:55] Akira**
*So much for that!*
**[15:57] Mion**
I set up this whole event,
and you won't even take part,
**[16:00] Mion**
Ichi-Kuro Brothers?
**[16:02] Oogami**
Our brain's decision, not mine.
**[16:04] Mion**
Boo!
**[16:05] Kuroiwa**
Don't pester us, Mion.
**[16:07] Kuroiwa**
You said you'd stay out.
**[16:09] Mion**
Oh, is someone running away?
**[16:12] Mion**
And they were doing so well.
**[16:13] Mion**
Is it because they saw you?
**[16:15] Kuroiwa**
I knew it.
**[16:17] Kuroiwa**
Shirasagi...
**[16:18] Kuroiwa**
There's something he doesn't want me to see.
**[16:21] Oogami**
We won't let them get away.
**[16:23] Oogami**
That's why we brought all these slaves here.
**[16:26] Slave**
Please don't do this!
**[16:27] Kuroiwa**
"Don't do this"?
**[16:29] Kuroiwa**
You all owe me a debt, remember?
**[16:32] Kuroiwa**
It's time you repaid it.
**[16:39] Shirasagi**
If we leave the ruins now,
**[16:41] Shirasagi**
the ghouls' targets will shift to Team Red.
**[16:43] Shirasagi**
And then—
**[16:51] Eiji**
What are they doing?
**[16:52] Shirasagi**
Something's not right.
**[16:54] Shirasagi**
Can it be...
**[16:55] Shirasagi**
They're being forced to charge in?
**[16:57] Shirasagi**
To slow us down?!
**[16:59] Kuroiwa**
You said quest participants are forbidden
from attacking each other.
**[17:03] Kuroiwa**
But this doesn't violate
the rules, does it, Mion?
**[17:06] Mion**
Nah! I'll give you this one!
**[17:09] Kuroiwa**
Since I ordered them to attack the
ghouls rather than Team Green.
***SIGN*** <>

Your ability is

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

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

It could be a horror-themed summer night

Is that why you're wearing that?

You're mocking me!

What if this preview...

Stay back!

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

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

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

**[13:40] Mion**

**[14:01] Mion**
*Be careful, dead folks!*
**[14:04] Mion**
*And there's one additional rule:*
**[14:06] Mion**

**[14:10] Mion**
*If you place your interface on the station,*
**[14:11] Mion**

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*** <>
Ms. Asuka Kiryuu
Your ability is
"To turn a stick into
a sword whose weight
you can control freely."
**[19:03] Asuka**
I can make it as light as a feather,
**[19:05] Asuka**
or so heavy that no one can ever hold it!
**[19:23] Oogami**
So you weren't wielding a
heavy sword effortlessly...
**[19:25] Oogami**
You were controlling the sword's weight?
**[19:29] Oogami**
You really put one over on me.
**[19:31] Oogami**
I like you.
**[19:36] Oogami**
Take it.
**[19:39] Oogami**
Turn it back into a sword and keep fighting.
**[19:41] Oogami**
Your allies will be here soon, won't they?
**[19:44] Oogami**
I'll play with you until then.
***SIGN*** Call in Progress
**[19:47] Shirasagi**
Impossible!
**[19:48] Shima**
Oogami's appeared already?
**[19:50] Shima**
And he's alone?!
**[19:51] Shirasagi**
*This is an obvious trap!*
**[19:53] Shirasagi**
*But even knowing Kuroiwa...*
**[19:56] Shirasagi**
* Would he really use his*
* partner Oogami, their king,*
**[19:58] Shirasagi**
*as a decoy?!*
**[20:00] Pompadour**
Asuka's team is fighting Oogami.
**[20:03] Pompadour**
Let's go join them!
**[20:04] Pompadour**
Kumagiri, watch after Hareka.
**[20:06] Pompadour**
We need her ability to change the flow of
air to erect a barrier around our base here.
**[20:12] Kumagiri**
Take care.
**[20:16] Hareka**
Sir!
**[20:17] Kumagiri**
Don't worry.
**[20:19] Kumagiri**
I'll protect you, I promise.
**[20:21] Hareka**
It's not that...
**[20:22] Hareka**
Someone's coming from that direction!
**[20:25] Kumagiri**
Hareka, stay here.
**[20:28] Katsuya**
Hurry!
**[20:29] Katsuya**
We've got to get to Asuka as fast as we can!
**[20:38] Kamui**
Oh, you survived that?
**[20:46] Kamui**
Today's not your lucky day...
**[20:49] Kamui**
Since you ran into me.
**[20:57] Renka**
Today, Renka the artist is feeling...
**[21:01] Renka**
Like an army battalion mowing down infantry!
**[21:10] Masakado**
Akira Shiroyanagi... Where are you?
**[21:27] Rin**
I've missed you so.
**[21:30] Rin**
Shall we begin?

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

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

**[05:02] Brother**

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

Ambiguity like that is a breeding
ground for speculation.
**[10:23] Akira**

You'll find out soon enough.
**[10:30] Ringo**
* There's an assassin here*

**[10:34] Ringo**
*They must be here to kill our leader.*

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

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

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

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

**[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

**[11:45] Shirasagi**
Hold still, Momoko!
**[11:47] Shirasagi**
Release your cannon and stand down!
**[11:50] Momoko**
Hold still?
**[11:51] Momoko**
That's my line to you.
**[11:54] Both**
Taro!
**[11:56] Momoko**
Toss your interface aside
and seal your own ability.
**[12:00] Momoko**
Or I'll blow the child away.
**[12:03] Shima**
Have you gone mad?!
**[12:05] Momoko**
If Red wins,
**[12:06] Momoko**
I'll take the child and raise him myself.
**[12:10] Momoko**
I'll count to three.
**[12:11] Momoko**
The boy or Team Green?
**[12:13] Momoko**
Choose, Yuuto.
**[12:15] Momoko**
Three.
**[12:16] Shima**
Leader...
**[12:17] Momoko**
Two.
**[12:18] Ringo**
Don't do this!
**[12:20] Momoko**
One.
**[12:30] Momoko**
I just knew you would.
**[12:34] Momoko**
Farewell, Yuuto.
**[12:39] Kuroiwa**
I see.
**[12:40] Kuroiwa**
You've finished off old man Shirasagi, then?
**[12:45] Momoko**
It's all over now.
**[12:47] Momoko**
Give up.
**[12:49] Ringo**
No... Nothing's over at all.
**[12:52] Momoko**
Isn't it?
**[12:54] Ringo**
For the sake of everyone
risking their lives...

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

**[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.
**[15:32] Momoko**
If you have the power to
threaten those boys...

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

So it doesn't really matter what yours is.

*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?*

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

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

**[09:29] Akira**

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

Negotiation breakdown!
**[10:15] Saeko**
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**
Ichi...
**[15:36] Kuroiwa**
Let's create it.
**[15:39] Kuroiwa**
Create our kingdom right here.
***SIGN*** Orphanage
Shin'ai Academy
**[15:48] (Flashback) Momo**
We have a new friend joining us today.
**[15:54] (Flashback) Momo**
This is Masaya Kuroiwa.
**[16:00] (Flashback) Oogami**
You're always reading that, huh?
**[16:02] (Flashback) Kuroiwa**
My mom bought it for me.
**[16:05] (Flashback) Oogami**
Is it good?
**[16:06] ---**
*A Kingdom for Everyone*
**[16:06] (Flashback) Kuroiwa**
It's about some insects that
create a free country together.
**[16:10] (Flashback) Kuroiwa**
But that's just a fairy tale.
**[16:13] Kuroiwa**
*I really believed that.*
**[16:15] Kuroiwa**
*Because being there taught me*
**[16:16] Kuroiwa**
* that we don't even have*
* the freedoms and rights*
**[16:20] Kuroiwa**
*of a bunch of insects in a book.*
**[16:24] (Flashback) Ann**
Today we'll be interviewing the kind-hearted
headmaster of Shin'ai Academy,
**[16:28] (Flashback) Ann**
which takes care of children
with nowhere else to go.
**[16:32] (Flashback) Head**
These children grow ever
more wonderful in my care!
**[16:36] (Flashback) Head**
They're all treasures to me!
**[16:41] (Flashback) Head**
Get lined up, trash!
**[16:43] (Flashback) Head**
Your parents don't give a shit about you!
**[16:45] (Flashback) Head**
You'd be dead without me!
**[16:47] (Flashback) Head**
You hear me?!
**[16:48] (Flashback) Head**
You're absolute trash!
**[16:50] (Flashback) Head**
If you think you're human,
you got another thing coming!
**[16:52] (Flashback) Head**
I'm only taking care of you
because I make money from it!
**[16:56] (Flashback) Head**
Be grateful I let you live!
**[17:00] (Flashback) Head**
What?
**[17:01] (Flashback) Head**
You again?
**[17:02] (Flashback) Head**
Don't you look at me that way.
**[17:04] (Flashback) Head**
Don't glare at your benefactor!
**[17:07] (Flashback) Head**
Ungrateful trash!
**[17:09] (Flashback) Head**
Show me gratitude!
**[17:10] (Flashback) Head**
Pay back the debt you owe me!
**[17:12] (Flashback) Head**
You're not human!
**[17:13] (Flashback) Head**
You're insects!
**[17:14] (Flashback) Head**
You're sub-insect trash!
**[17:22] Kumagiri**
*He's changing somehow...*
**[17:28] Kumagiri**
Yuuri!
**[17:35] Kumagiri**
*Not good...*
**[17:36] Kumagiri**
*My two seconds have passed.*
**[17:54] Oogami**
Yes, good.
**[17:55] Oogami**
Just as I hoped.
**[17:58] Oogami**
I felt your left arm break back there.
**[18:02] Oogami**
Yet you're still standing...
**[18:05] Oogami**
The first time I got this way...
**[18:08] Oogami**
I was... ten or eleven, I think.
**[18:10] Oogami**
A little kid, anyway.
**[18:13] ---**
*A Kingdom for Everyone*
**[18:13] (Flashback) Head**
What's this crap?
**[18:15] (Flashback) Kuroiwa**
G-Give that back!
**[18:17] (Flashback) Head**
*A Kingdom For Everyone*?
**[18:17] ---**
*A Kingdom for Everyone*
**[18:19] (Flashback) Head**
Still reading this crap at
your age, you little shit?
**[18:22] (Flashback) Head**
Listen up.
**[18:23] (Flashback) Head**
Animals and insects take
care of their young.
**[18:26] (Flashback) Head**
But even your parents threw you away!
**[18:27] (Flashback) Head**
You're only alive because of me!
**[18:30] (Flashback) Head**
That puts you below animals and insects!
**[18:33] ---**
*A Kingdom for Everyone*
**[18:33] (Flashback) Head**
You owe me a huge debt!
**[18:35] (Flashback) Head**
Stop reading this crap,
**[18:37] (Flashback) Head**
and start thinking about how to pay me back!
**[18:39] (Flashback) Head**
Trash!
**[18:40] ---**
*A Kingdom for Everyone*
**[18:44] ---**
*A Kingdom for Everyone*
**[18:51] ---**
*A Kingdom for Everyone*
**[18:56] (Flashback) Head**
I didn't tell you to move!
**[18:58] (Flashback) Momo**
Next time... I swear... I'll protect you.
**[19:02] (Flashback) Pri**
You're all trash!
**[19:04] (Flashback) Pri**
You're only alive because of me!
**[19:06] (Flashback) Pri**
There's nowhere you can go but here!
**[19:09] (Flashback) Pri**
You're trash! You don't
even deserve fairy tales!
**[19:12] (Flashback) Pri**
You'd better think about how to pay me back!
**[19:16] ---**
*A Kingdom for Everyone*
**[19:16] (Flashback) Pri**
You hear me?!
**[19:25] (Flashback) Kuroiwa**
I wish we could make a
kingdom for ourselves,
**[19:28] (Flashback) Kuroiwa**
just like in the book.
**[19:29] (Flashback) Oogami**
Let's do it, then!
**[19:31] (Flashback) Oogami**
We'll make a free kingdom,
where we can do whatever we want!
**[19:35] (Flashback) Oogami**
A place where we belong!
**[19:37] ---**
*A Kingdom for Everyone*
**[19:46] (Flashback) Pri**
Stupid trash...
**[19:49] (Flashback) Pri**
Where's my ashtray?!
**[19:50] (Flashback) Pri**
When I'm smoking, you bring me my ashtray!
**[19:54] (Flashback) Pri**
Trash!
**[20:01] Oogami**
I'm still stuck in that day.
**[20:05] Oogami**
When I feel too much pain,
**[20:07] Oogami**
the way I felt then comes
back, crystal clear,
**[20:10] Oogami**
and I get like this.
**[20:12] Oogami**
When I get like this, I don't feel anything.
**[20:14] Oogami**
No one can stop me.
**[20:17] Oogami**
I think that man might've been right.
**[20:19] Oogami**
I might not be human at all.
**[20:25] Yuuri**
You asked us what you are?
**[20:29] Yuuri**
When I look at your scars,
**[20:31] Yuuri**
I think of two little girls.
**[20:36] Yuuri**
Riria...
**[20:40] Oogami**
And you think those kids'll
turn out like me?
**[20:45] Yuuri**
I really hope they won't.
**[20:48] Yuuri**
But I don't know!
**[20:50] Yuuri**
And yet...
**[20:52] Yuuri**
Even if someone treated
you like you're not...
**[20:55] Yuuri**
You're still human, and so are they!
**[20:58] Yuuri**
That's why I can stop you.
**[21:01] Yuuri**
I *will* stop you, right now!
**[21:03] Fb**
It's like that first time
we just happened to meet...
**[21:04] Yuuri**
I've always hated the idea of random chance.
**[21:05] Fb**
Just random chance!
**[21:07] Fb**
entirely at random!
**[21:08] Fb**
Because I *just happened* to
have you with that man...
**[21:14] Yuuri**
But this isn't random.
**[21:16] Yuuri**
None of this is random!
**[21:18] Yuuri**
I didn't "just happen" to be born,
or to end up here...
**[21:21] Yuuri**
And that's why... I'm going to end it!

*She's really something.*
**[00:39] Oogami**
* Her left arm's broken,*

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

I've carried out your last request.

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

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

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