[00:00] Fb
    My ability will finish you off.
[00:03] Fb
    So it doesn't really matter what yours is.
[00:07] Akira
    Let's begin, Kuroiwa.
[00:08] Akira
    First, with an exchange of greetings.
[00:16] Akira
    The ability to turn marbles
    into wrecking balls.
[00:18] Kuroiwa
    I've heard you can use multiple abilities.
[00:22] Kuroiwa
    That's not unlike my own ability.
[00:26] Kuroiwa
    Though I believe mine is superior.
[00:45] Akira
    I've got to hold them in place!
[00:50] Slave
    Please, no!
[00:52] Slave
    Help me! Please!
[00:56] Akira
    This is how Kuroiwa's power works?
[00:58] Akira
    It's just as Ringo said...
[01:01] (Flashback) Ringo
    Oogami and Kuroiwa of Team Red
[01:03] (Flashback) Ringo
    combine their powers to create slaves.
[01:06] (Flashback) Akira
    "Create"?
[01:08] (Flashback) Ringo
    Yes.
[01:10] (Flashback) Ringo
    Right after they captured us,
[01:12] (Flashback) Ringo
    Oogami was about to kill us.
[01:15] (Flashback) Ringo
    But then Kuroiwa saved us.
[01:19] (Flashback) Ringo
    More precisely, he made us think he did.
[01:22] (Flashback) Ringo
    That's how he triggers his ability.
SIGN    <<Loanshark>>
    
    Mr. Masaya Kuroiwa
    
    Your ability is
    "the ability to
    forcibly collect
     debts you're owed."
[01:26] (Flashback) Ringo
    Masaya Kuroiwa's ability lets him force
    others to repay debts they owe him.
[01:33] (Flashback) Ringo
    When he saves your life,
[01:35] (Flashback) Ringo
    you become a slave, forced to risk
    your life for him in exchange.
[01:40] Akira
    He has multiple ability users
    under his control.
[01:43] Akira
    Kuroiwa is the true king.
[01:48] Kuroiwa
    Akira Shiroyanagi...
[01:50] Kuroiwa
    I know you well enough to know
[01:51] Kuroiwa
    that you likely came here
    with a plan in mind.
[01:55] Kuroiwa
    But you're completely in my power now.
[02:00] Kuroiwa
    I said that your appearance
    played into my hands.
[02:04] Kuroiwa
    That's because I'm in complete
    control of everything.
[02:07] Kuroiwa
    I have been...
[02:08] Kuroiwa
    and will continue to be.
[02:11] Akira
    Is that what your "kingdom" is all about?
[02:17] Kuroiwa
    How did you know about that?
[02:21] Kuroiwa
    Or should I worry more that you
    said that to give me pause,
[02:25] Kuroiwa
    and may be plotting something?
[02:28] Akira
    Oh? You're not a bit worried
    about what I know?
[02:31] Kuroiwa
    It wouldn't matter.
[02:33] Akira
    That's your weak point, isn't it?
[02:35] Akira
    You people know nothing about me.
[02:39] Akira
    You don't really know what my ability is,
[02:42] Akira
    or why I can use multiple abilities.
[02:46] Akira
    It was the same way with
    our leader's ability.
[02:48] Akira
    You only knew that he could
    block enemy attacks.
[02:51] Akira
    But on that day, you saw his real ability...
[02:54] Akira
    That when he's face-to-face with an enemy,
[02:57] Akira
    he can turn their power back on them.
[03:00] Akira
    Even before then, you likely
    suspected there was more to it.
[03:03] Akira
    Had you been so inclined, you could have
    done something to expose him far earlier.
[03:08] Akira
    I think you're too strong,
[03:10] Akira
    and that led you to look down on us.
[03:12] Akira
    A natural inclination, from someone arrogant
    enough to think of this place as their kingdom.
[03:16] Akira
    And as further proof of that...
[03:19] Akira
    You didn't even consider it, did you?
[03:21] Akira
    That we might have a spy
    in your ranks, too.
[03:26] Kuroiwa
    And?
[03:28] Kuroiwa
    Even if you had a spy in our ranks,
[03:31] Kuroiwa
    would that let you change
    your current situation?
[03:33] Akira
    It would.
[03:35] Akira
    That arrogance of yours is
    what will let me beat you.
[03:38] Kuroiwa
    You're the one who knows nothing about us.
[03:43] Kuroiwa
    Your purpose here is to buy time
[03:46] Kuroiwa
    until Quintuple Girl and
    her friends defeat Ichi.
[03:50] Kuroiwa
    But...
[03:51] Kuroiwa
    Your attempt is utterly pointless.
[03:53] Akira
    What?
[03:55] Kuroiwa
    Your companions will be witnessing
    quite a spectacle around now.
[04:00] Kuroiwa
    Not that you have time to
    think about them right now.
[04:06] Kuroiwa
    Did you really think your words were
    what convinced me to pause my attacks?
[04:11] Kuroiwa
    You wanted to buy time,
    and I graciously indulged you.
[04:17] Kuroiwa
    If, when I paused, you thought for
    even a moment, "Thank goodness..."
[04:22] Kuroiwa
    That becomes a debt you owe me.
[04:24] Akira
    What?!
[04:25] Kuroiwa
    You've fulfilled the conditions
    for my ability's activation.
[04:28] Kuroiwa
    The moment you appeared before me,
[04:32] Kuroiwa
    the battle was already over,
[04:34] Kuroiwa
    Akira Shiroyanagi.
SIGN    Episode 11 "Loanshark"
[06:08] Kuroiwa
    I briefly paused my attacks
[06:10] Kuroiwa
    to let you buy a little time.
[06:12] Kuroiwa
    That's a thoroughly minor debt.
[06:14] Kuroiwa
    Just enough to steal a little
    time back from you.
[06:19] Kuroiwa
    But that's more than enough.
[06:20] Kuroiwa
    Akira Shiroyanagi,
[06:22] Kuroiwa
    your repayment will be the temporary
    loss of the use of your right leg.
[06:28] Akira
    Is this how Kuroiwa's ability works?
[06:31] Kuroiwa
    I'd say you're doomed now.
[06:39] Kuroiwa
    Yes...
[06:40] Kuroiwa
    You have only one option now.
[06:43] Kuroiwa
    Use that ability.
[06:45] Kuroiwa
    My first inkling that something was off
[06:47] Kuroiwa
    was the way you repeatedly summoned
    and withdrew your cannon.
[06:51] Kuroiwa
    It was as if you were flipping a switch.
[06:53] Kuroiwa
    Despite the danger you were in during
    the fight with the giant ghoul,
[06:56] Kuroiwa
    you actively sought out a blind
    spot before solving the problem.
[07:01] Kuroiwa
    And then...
[07:02] (Flashback) Fb
    The spy you have in Green helped me escape.
[07:06] (Flashback) Fb
    With a message.
[07:08] (Flashback) Fb
    The child should have been
    killed in the attack.
[07:11] (Flashback) Fb
    But he was fine for some reason.
[07:13] (Flashback) Fb
    And the next instant,
    he fired off his cannon.
[07:16] (Flashback) Fb
    They told me to tell you that.
[07:19] Kuroiwa
    "He uses the cannon,
    but that's not his ability."
[07:22] Kuroiwa
    That was all I needed to know.
[07:24] Kuroiwa
    Now use it.
[07:30] Kuroiwa
    Use it!
[07:35] Akira
    What?!
[07:37] Kuroiwa
    I knew that when revealing
    your secret weapon
[07:39] Kuroiwa
    you'd want to get close
    enough to finish me off.
[07:42] Kuroiwa
    That's why I placed my slaves there.
[07:45] Kuroiwa
    I have no interest in
    learning your real ability.
[07:48] Kuroiwa
    You use the cannon,
[07:50] Kuroiwa
    and some sort of teleportation ability.
[07:53] Kuroiwa
    Once I knew that, it was just a
    matter of driving you to use it...
[07:58] Kuroiwa
    And then killing you.
[08:06] Kuroiwa
    Positioning my slaves this way,
[08:07] Kuroiwa
    letting you talk to buy time,
[08:10] Kuroiwa
    and stealing the use of your leg...
[08:13] Kuroiwa
    All actions taken to force you
    to use your teleportation,
[08:15] Kuroiwa
    and bring you right here.
[08:17] Kuroiwa
    I systematically narrowed your options to one.
[08:21] Kuroiwa
    Akira Shiroyanagi,
[08:23] Kuroiwa
    you were completely within
    my power from the start.
[08:29] Akira
    Was I really?
[08:32] Akira
    What if you only think you
    drove me into this situation,
[08:38] Akira
    because I manipulated you
    into thinking you did?
[08:45] Akira
    After all, I'm right where I want to be...
[08:50] Akira
    Face-to-face with an enemy!
[08:56] Kuroiwa
    What?!
[08:58] Akira
    The things I said earlier
    weren't about buying time.
[09:02] Akira
    I made it look that way,
[09:04] Akira
    but it was the content of
    what I said that mattered.
[09:06] ---
    True ability
    
    Uses multiple abilities
[09:06] Akira
    I was subtly imprinting
    reminders in your head.
[09:08] ---
    True ability
    
    Uses multiple abilities
[09:10] ---
    Dodges enemy's attack
    
    Fights face-to-face
[09:11] Akira
    The fact that I can use
    multiple abilities...
[09:12] ---
    Dodges enemy's attack
    
    Fights face-to-face
[09:14] Akira
    And the nature of our leader's ability.
[09:15] ---
    True ability
    
    Fights face-to-face
    
    Deflects everything
    
    Multiple abilities
    
    Dodges attack
[09:17] Kuroiwa
    Slaves!
[09:18] Kuroiwa
    Take him and—
[09:19] Akira
    Too late!
[09:23] Akira
    He thought I was the king,
[09:25] Akira
    which meant he'd already
    taken out our leader.
[09:29] Akira
    That's when I decided I'd
    use this ability...
[09:31] Akira
    Our leader's ability, to take him down.
[09:35] Akira
    I've never felt this way before.
[09:39] Akira
    Even with lives on the line,
[09:41] Akira
    this game was still a game.
[09:43] Akira
    I thought everything was the same as ever.
[09:46] Akira
    I was sure...
[09:47] Akira
    But...
[09:48] Akira
    What if what's changed is...
[09:53] Akira
    Negotiation breakdown!
[09:58] 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.

[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

    that we don't even have
    the freedoms and rights

    Yet you're still standing...

[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!

[19:46] (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!
