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

[14:35] Katsuya     Team Red will try to seal     our leader's ability, too. [14:39] Katsuya     We have to prevent that. [14:48] Man In Black     Now, please register your team's king! [14:51] Katsuya     Sir... [14:56] Man In Black     Thank you. [14:57] Mion     Ladies and gentlemen... [15:00] Mion     The large-scale quest,     "Hunt the King," will now begin! [15:06] Shirasagi     Our first goal is to take the towers! [15:08] Shirasagi     Secure at least three towers     and guard them with your life! [15:12] Shirasagi     We need to seal the power of Oogami,      Red's king and wild card! [15:17] Shirasagi     If we predict our opponent's strategy and     create an advantage, we will be victorious! [15:22] Shirasagi     And one other thing... [15:23] Shirasagi     I want to thank you all for     staying with me all this time. [15:27] Shirasagi     Thanks to all of you, I've been able to believe [15:31] Shirasagi     that I'm here for a purpose. [15:34] Shirasagi     Thank you. [15:37] Katsuya     Okay! [15:39] Katsuya     Let's beat down those Red villains! [15:41] Katsuya     Let's go, guys! [15:42] All     Yeah! [15:46] Yuuri     Let's get in there too! [15:50] Ringo     Akira... [15:52] Akira     This is an extension of the first     and second battles in a way, [15:56] Akira     but there's one clear difference. [15:57] Akira     Everyone's participating with     separate beliefs and ideals. [16:02] Akira     Is this what you wanted to see? [16:05] Akira     In that case... [16:06] Akira     I'll show it to you. [16:10] Joushima     No sign of any Reds. [16:13] Shirasagi     Understood. [16:15] Shirasagi     Please continue scouting. [16:17] Shima     The towers' ten points... [16:19] Shima     We only have them while our     terminal's connected, right? [16:23] Shirasagi     If we want to use fifty points,     we'll need to control multiple towers at once. [16:28] Shirasagi     Yet I can't actually     participate in the fight... [16:31] Shima     There's no need for us to     put you on the front lines. [16:34] Shima     If our king dies, it's over! [16:38] Katsuya     Team Saitou has secured the first tower! [16:42] Shima     That's Katsuya! [16:44] Katsuya     We'll hold this ground with our lives! [16:46] Team     Yeah! [16:47] Katsuya     In a territory control game,     we have the numbers advantage! [16:51] Katsuya     Red's generals all have     dangerous abilities... [16:54] Katsuya     But their leader, Oogami, is both     their most valuable piece, [16:58] Katsuya     and also their king. [17:00] Katsuya     That's the difference between him     and Yuuri, our own wild card. [17:03] Katsuya     The difference in when that card gets played     will change the course of this battle! [17:08] Asuka     Katsuya! Well done! [17:10] Katsuya     Asuka! [17:11] Asuka     I think we can secure this tower too! [17:13] Asuka     No sign of Reds! [17:18] Asuka     Secure the tower, quickly! [17:21] Asuka     Something's coming this way. [17:30] Asuka     Run, everyone! [17:35] Asuka     It can't be... [17:37] Asuka     I thought he was their king! [17:39] Asuka     What's he doing here? [17:41] Katsuya     Asuka! [17:43] Katsuya     What's going on?! [17:44] Oogami     Did you expect me to stay     in hiding like Shirasagi? [17:50] Oogami     The king hunts and purges you. [17:53] Oogami     That's what the game's about! [17:56] Asuka     Oogami's appeared on his own... SIGN    Call in Progress [17:58] Asuka     But my allies know the situation. [18:00] Asuka     I'm sure they'll come,     bringing Yuuri with them. [18:03] Asuka     If I can hold him until then... [18:05] Asuka     We win! [18:07] Oogami     I'm gonna kill you all no matter what, [18:09] Oogami     but if you're gonna insist, [18:10] Oogami     let's have a little fun. [18:18] Oogami     You wield that heavy sword     like it's nothing. [18:21] Oogami     Is that your ability? [18:23] Oogami     But what good will a minor     power like that do you? [18:35] Oogami     What's wrong? [18:36] Oogami     Finished already? [18:37] Asuka     He's mocking me! [18:42] Oogami     Oh? What kind of simple attack is that? [18:46] Oogami     At least put a little spin on it. [18:48] Asuka     I did put a spin on it. [18:50] Asuka     I thought if I dished out a     simple attack, you'd grab my sword. [19:00] Asuka     My ability is to control     the weight of my sword! SIGN    <>          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!
