Sorry.

Oh, hey. It's Takeda-senpai.
[02:20] Saotome
What are you up to?
[02:22] Takeda
I'm waiting for someone.
[02:27] Saotome
Remember, no dating allowed, Senpai.
[02:31] Takeda
Look who's talking.
[02:34] Akiko
I wonder if he got dumped.
[02:38] Takeda
Probably.
[03:13] Boogiepop
None of you feel anything
when you see someone crying?
[03:18] Boogiepop
Unbelievable.
[03:21] Boogiepop
So this is what you call a civilized society?
[03:26] Takeda
Miyashita?
[03:53] Naoko
Mornin', Keiji.
[03:54] Naoko
How was your date yesterday?
[03:57] Naoko
Huh?
[03:59] Naoko
Wow, you look down.
[04:03] Naoko
Got it
[04:03] Naoko
I'm here
Where are you?
Did something happen?
Are you okay?
I'm gonna head home
[04:04] Naoko
I mean, people just flake out sometimes.
[04:09] Takeda
I can't even get a hold of Miyashita, though.
[04:11] Naoko
W-Well, girls her age are going
through a lot, y'know?
[04:18] Takeda
Like showing up in town
wearing a really weird outfit?
[04:21] Naoko
Huh?
[04:23] Takeda
Never mind. It's nothing.
[04:29] Kei
Senpai!
[04:30] Kei
You're late.
[04:33] Takeda
Actually, I'd say Kamikishiro's
here earlier than usual.
[04:37] Naoko
I had something to take care of.
[04:39] Kei
Sure, that's fine, but you'd better hurry.
[04:43] Naoko
Yeah, yeah. Thanks, Kei.
[04:48] Kei
Senpai! Remember, we have
a committee meeting today!
[04:57] Naoko
I think she likes you, Keiji.
[04:59] Takeda
Nah.
[05:01] Naoko
"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may."
[05:04] Takeda
You're in a good mood. I take it things are
going well with that first-year, Tanaka?
[05:10] Naoko
But of course!
[05:16] Girl A
Miyashita-san isn't here today.
[05:19] Takeda
I see...
[05:21] Teach
Since the beginning of this school year,
[05:24] Teach
there have now been a total of four female
students who have run away from home.
[05:29] Teach
If you know of any students who might
know something, let us know immediately.
[05:35] Teach
I'm sure these girls have told
their friends where they're going.
[05:39] Teach
Also, that Kirima Nagi girl
didn't show up again today.
[Messenger] [05:43] Teach
Miyashita Touka
[05:43] Teach
I'm here
Where are you?
Did something happen?
Are you okay?
I'm gonna head home
[05:43] Teach
Sorry, I wasn't feeling
well yesterday
[05:44] Teach
Who knows what that delinquent
gets up to when we can't see her?
[05:47] Teach
I know none of you want
to be involved with her...
[05:49] Boogiepop
There's no need to be rough.
(Flashback) [05:53] Boogiepop
Look, he's shaking.
(Flashback) [05:57] Cop A
Who are you?
(Flashback) [06:08] Cop B
Hey! What did you just do?
(Flashback) [06:12] Cop B
H-Hey, wait!
(Flashback) [06:14] Cop B
Hold it!
[06:20] Teach
Next, regarding the use of
smartphones at school...
[06:25] Teach
It appears there are some
students sneaking around
[06:28] Teach
using those "social media"
things on their phones...
[06:38] Kei
Are you worried about Miyashita-san?
[06:43] Takeda
Well, yeah.
[06:46] Takeda
But girls her age are going
through a lot, right?
[06:53] Kei
You're pretty mature, Senpai.
[06:58] Kei
Your eyes are locked on
your future and dreams,
[07:01] Kei
and nothing else matters.
[07:04] Takeda
Not really. I'm just...
[07:17] Takeda
Miyashita?
[07:19] Takeda
Sorry. You go on ahead!
[07:22] Kei
Huh?
[07:38] Takeda
Miyashita...
[07:44] Takeda
Is that you?
[07:48] Boogiepop
You must be...
[07:50] Boogiepop
one of Miyashita Touka's friends.
[07:54] Boogiepop
Well, now I feel bad.
[07:57] Boogiepop
It seems like she ended up
ignoring you yesterday, too.
[08:01] Takeda
What's going on, Miyashita?
[08:03] Takeda
Are you messing with me?
[08:07] Takeda
Say something. Come on!
[08:10] Boogiepop
First of all, I'm not Miyashita Touka.
[08:14] Boogiepop
Right now, I'm Boogiepop.
[08:17] Takeda
Boogie... pop?
[08:19] Boogiepop
I guess the closest I can come to
describing it is "split personalities."
[08:24] Boogiepop
You understand that, right?
[08:26] Takeda
Split personalities?
[08:29] Boogiepop
None of you have realized
it yet, but this school...
[08:36] Boogiepop
No...
[08:37] Boogiepop
Humanity itself is in danger.
[08:43] Boogiepop
And that's why I've appeared.

[09:13] Touka
I'm so sorry. You called me so many times...
[09:17] Takeda
Yeah... How are you feeling?
[09:21] Touka
I'm fine now.
[09:24] Takeda
Say, Miyashita...
[09:26] Takeda
Did you go anywhere yesterday?
[09:29] Touka
Nope. I was asleep at home all day.
[09:32] Takeda
Huh?
[09:33] Touka
I didn't have any plans, so...
[09:36] Takeda
I-I see...
[09:41] Boogiepop
I told you. Miyashita Touka's memories
will be corrected to whatever's convenient.
[09:49] Takeda
Why?
[09:51] Boogiepop
Who knows? Maybe because she
doesn't want to feel any guilt?
[09:57] Boogiepop
She probably doesn't want you to hate her.
[10:00] Takeda
Hey, who or what are you?
[10:03] Takeda
How long have you possessed her?
[10:06] Boogiepop
That's a rude way of putting it.
[10:08] Boogiepop
It's not like I'm here because I want to be.
[10:11] Takeda
Then why are you here?
[10:13] Boogiepop
I am automatic.
[10:17] Boogiepop
When I detect adversity in my
surroundings, I pop up naturally.
[10:22] Boogiepop
That's why I'm called Boogiepop.
[10:28] Boogiepop
I rise to the surface like an eerie bubble.
[10:32] Takeda
What do you mean by "adversity"?
[10:36] Boogiepop
A monster resides within this school.
[10:40] Boogiepop
It's not doing much yet, but once it
makes its move, the world is finished.
[10:47] Takeda
Aren't you the monster here?
[10:49] Boogiepop
I know. That's why I won't be here for long.
[10:56] Boogiepop
Usually, I live quietly as Miyashita Touka,
[11:01] Boogiepop
talking to you about love and such.
[11:04] Takeda
Love? Come on...
[11:13] Takeda
"Multiple personalities are suppressed
possibilities that take on a life of their own.
SIGN The Screams Within: Multiple Personality Disorder
[11:20] Takeda
No matter how pathological it may be,
[11:22] Takeda
or how destructive it may be to
themselves or those around them,
[11:26] Takeda
there is no good or evil
within the possibility itself."
[11:38] Boogiepop
A possibility that was suppressed, eh?
[11:42] Boogiepop
I see. But in my case, I'm not exactly
another possibility for Miyashita Touka.
[11:50] Takeda
Then what are you?
[11:52] Boogiepop
I'm this world's possibility.
[11:56] Boogiepop
I don't have autonomy.
[11:59] Boogiepop
Miyashita Touka may have hidden
desires—or rather, possibilities,
[12:04] Boogiepop
that may have given life to me.
[12:07] Boogiepop
But that has nothing to do
with me personally.
[12:11] Boogiepop
The reason I'm here is because there's
something I have to do... a mission.
[12:18] Takeda
I don't really get it,
[12:20] Takeda
but does this have to do with
the danger humanity is facing?
[12:23] Boogiepop
Yup.
[12:24] Takeda
Why does it have to be you?
[12:28] Boogiepop
Who knows? I'd like to
know myself, to be honest.
[12:33] Boogiepop
But... Could it be that you're trying to "fix" me?
[12:39] Takeda
No... Actually, I don't know.
[12:42] Boogiepop
You're a good person.
[12:46] Boogiepop
I think I can see why
Miyashita Touka likes you.
[12:51] Takeda
Huh?
[12:55] Takeda
Hey, Boogiepop...
[12:58] Takeda
What's this monster like?
[13:03] Boogiepop
You can't tell anyone else, no matter what.
[13:06] Takeda
Yeah, I won't.
[13:09] Boogiepop
It's a man-eater.
[13:14] Boogiepop
Well, my time has reached its end for now.
[13:18] Boogiepop
There isn't much point in
my being here after school.
[13:23] Takeda
Are you saying the monster's
hiding among the students?
[13:29] Boogiepop
Most likely.
[13:40] Girl B
Apparently Kiyoi from Class F
also saw Boogiepop.
[13:43] Girl C
Another girl?
[13:44] Girl D
Well, they only kill girls, right?
[13:47] Girl B
Yeah. When a girl's at
the height of her beauty,
[13:51] Girl B
they'll come kill her
before she can get ugly.
[13:54] Girl B
That's what Boogiepop is.
[13:56] Girl C
Wait, that means I'm in
a lot of danger right now.
[13:58] Girl D
Oh, please.
[13:59] Girl B
I wonder what they look like.
[14:01] Girl C
Aren't they supposed to be wearing
a black hat and a black cape?
[14:04] Girl D
What the heck? That sounds like a witch!
[14:07] Girl B
Hey, what do you think, Suema?
[14:11] Suema
Huh?
[14:12] Girl B
Maybe she really is Boogiepop.
[14:16] Suema
"She"?
[14:17] Girl C
Kirima Nagi.
[14:19] Girl B
Hey, you're an expert. What do you think?
[14:21] Suema
You know, I'm not actually
an expert on urban legends...
[14:26] Girl C
If you know one murderer,
you know 'em all, right?
[14:29] Girl C
That's all Boogiepop is.
[14:31] Suema
Well, it is pretty interesting...
SIGN Where the Killer's Mind Changes
Kirima Seiichi
[14:35] Girl B
I know, right?
[14:37] Kyouko
Hey, Suema... What's a murderer like?
[14:41] Kyouko
Like, in real life.
[14:44] Suema
What are they like?
[14:46] Suema
I mean, there are all different kinds...
[14:48] Kyouko
Well, if we had one in our
class, who would it be?
[14:54] Suema
Well...
[14:56] Suema
They'd probably be weirdly obstinate,
live in their own little world,
[15:00] Suema
and seem a bit stubborn.
[15:03] Girl B
I knew it! Kirima Nagi!
[15:05] Girl C
I can see it.
[15:06] Girl D
Oh, c'mon. I'm telling you,
Boogiepop is a beautiful boy.
[15:13] Kyouko
Hey... Do you really think
Kirima Nagi is a murderer?
[15:21] Suema
You keep asking me questions
like that. Why? What's going on?
[15:28] Kyouko
She threatened someone I know.
[15:31] Kyouko
And ever since then,
they've been totally different.
[15:35] Suema
Threatened? You mean she mugged them?
[15:38] Kyouko
No... It's nothing like that.
[15:45] Kyouko
I think... I might get killed.
[15:49] Suema
What?!
[15:51] Takeda
Kamikishiro?
[15:53] Takeda
You're sure she wasn't just late?
[15:55] Kei
Yes. I heard the teachers talking earlier.
[16:00] Kei
They said that she hasn't been home, either.
[16:03] Takeda
That's...
[16:05] Kei
Have you heard anything, Senpai?
[16:08] Takeda
No, nothing.
[16:11] Kei
I see.
[16:15] Kei
I'm sorry to cut this short.
[16:18] Kei
If you'll excuse me.
[16:21] Takeda
S-Sure.
[16:28] Girl E
I'm sure she's the same.
She probably ran away, too.
[16:31] Takeda
Why, though?
[16:33] Takeda
I don't know about the others,
but why would she run away?
[16:37] Girl F
You're asking why?
[16:38] Takeda
I mean... She always got good grades.
[16:42] Takeda
She could get into her first-choice school, right?
[16:45] Girl G
What's this, Takeda? Did you like Kamikishiro?
[16:48] Takeda
That's not what this is about. But, I mean...
[16:54] Girl E
I guess you just wouldn't understand, Takeda.
[16:57] Girl E
I mean, I'm pretty sure I get it.
[17:00] Girl F
You're not even taking
entrance exams, Takeda.
[17:03] Girl G
I'm pretty sure she's just
trying to escape reality.
[17:07] Girl E
Honestly, I'd love to run away if I could...
[17:11] Girl E
But we're not irresponsible like Kamikishiro.
(Flashback) [17:31] Boogiepop
None of you feel anything
when you see someone crying?
(Flashback) [17:37] Boogiepop
Unbelievable.
[17:54] Takeda
Hey, can I ask you something?
[17:58] Boogiepop
What is it?
[18:00] Takeda
The first time I saw you... What did
you say to that guy who was crying?
[18:05] Boogiepop
Nothing special, really.
[18:07] Boogiepop
I just told him what he needed to hear.
[18:10] Boogiepop
Everyone needs some help
when they're suffering.
[18:15] Takeda
They need help?
[18:17] Takeda
How can you tell when they do?
(Flashback) [18:20] Boogiepop
He was crying. Doesn't that make it obvious?
[18:31] Takeda
It isn't. Not to normal people like us.
[19:01] Boogiepop
Hey.
[19:06] Takeda
This feels weird.
[19:10] Takeda
Is it really you?
[19:12] Boogiepop
Yeah.
[19:14] Takeda
Where's your usual costume?
[19:16] Boogiepop
It's not necessary anymore.
[19:19] Takeda
Huh? What do you mean?
[19:22] Boogiepop
The danger is gone.
[19:24] Takeda
Huh?
[19:26] Boogiepop
This is goodbye, Takeda-kun.
[19:29] Takeda
H-Hey, wait a sec.
[19:32] Takeda
That's really sudden...
[19:34] Boogiepop
It's out of my hands.
[19:36] Boogiepop
Once the danger is gone, I disappear.
[19:38] Boogiepop
That's all there is to my existence.
[19:41] Takeda
Danger?
[19:43] Boogiepop
Thank you, Takeda-kun.
[19:46] Boogiepop
The time I got to spend with you was fun.
[19:50] Boogiepop
Before I met you, all I ever did was fight.
[19:54] Boogiepop
You might be the first person
I can actually call a friend.
[19:58] Takeda
Weren't you going to defeat
the monster in this school?
[20:02] Boogiepop
Yes, but they've already been defeated.
[20:05] Boogiepop
I just wasn't the one who did it.
[20:07] Takeda
Don't lie to me!
[20:09] Boogiepop
It's not a lie.
[20:10] Takeda
It is a lie!
[20:12] Takeda
You're going to protect this
world from danger, right?
[20:15] Takeda
This world hasn't been saved at all!
[20:27] Boogiepop
Takeda-kun,
[20:29] Boogiepop
a world where you can't dream
or think about the future...
[20:33] Boogiepop
A world like that is wrong.
[20:37] Boogiepop
But sadly, I'm not the one
who can fight against that.
[20:42] Boogiepop
That's something you must face yourselves.
[20:45] Boogiepop
This world is filled with
mistakes, Takeda-kun.
[20:53] Takeda
Don't go... We're friends, aren't we?
[20:58] Takeda
Please don't go.
[21:14] Touka
You're late, Takeda-senpai!
[21:19] Takeda
Y-Yeah... Sorry.
[21:23] Touka
Huh, so you were talking to
your friend up on the roof?
[21:27] Takeda
Yeah. He's a bit weird.
[21:35] Takeda
Don't worry, it's fine.
[21:37] Kei
Oh, are you heading home, Senpai?
[21:40] Takeda
Yeah.
[21:41] Kei
Dating is prohibited at school...
but I'll let you off the hook this time.
[21:51] Nagi
So you're Miyashita Touka.
[22:01] Nagi
I'm Kirima Nagi. Nice to meet you.

So what happened with this

[03:32] Suema
I can't help you if you just keep crying.
[03:36] Kyouko
Do you promise not to tell anyone?
[03:39] Suema
Sure.
[03:40] Kyouko
Kusatsu Akiko from 1-D was
my junior in middle school.
[03:46] Suema
You were in the same club?
[03:48] Kyouko
Yes, and Akiko...
[03:50] Kyouko
I think it started around midterms,
so it's been about three months now...
[03:54] Kyouko
She's been handing out this weird drug.
[03:57] Kyouko
She said it'd be fun,
[03:59] Kyouko
and would make our minds feel lighter,
so it'd be a breather from our exams.
[04:03] Suema
Oh... I see.
[04:06] Kyouko
Eventually, some of my friends
ended up running away from home.
[04:11] Kyouko
They all just disappear without
saying a word to anyone.
[04:14] Kyouko
And then Akiko disappeared, too.
[04:18] Kyouko
You think this is really weird, right?
[04:20] Suema
N-Not at all! Please, continue.
[04:23] Suema
Things like that do happen...
[04:25] Kyouko
I see...
[04:27] Kyouko
So everyone started wondering
if it was because of the drug.
[04:32] Kyouko
Kirima Nagi started showing up around us,
[04:34] Kyouko
just like she did with me earlier,
telling us to forget about that drug.
[04:38] Kyouko
I can't help but think Kirima Nagi got herself
suspended on purpose so she could do that.
[04:45] Kyouko
I'm sure Kirima Nagi got to
Akiko and the others and...

Hey, Suema, are you listening?

I'm still using my dad's last name.
[06:04] Suema
Your father?
[06:06] Nagi
Aren't you here because
you know who he is?
[06:08] Nagi
His name is Kirima Seiichi.
He's written a ton of books.
[06:13] Suema
What?! No way!
[06:15] Nagi
Why's that so unbelievable?
[06:17] Suema
You mean... the author, Kirima Seiichi?
[06:20] Nagi
Y-Yeah...

[06:30] Nagi
That's definitely my dad.
[06:33] Nagi
He died when I was ten, though.
[06:38] Suema
So about yesterday,
Kirima-san, why did you...
[06:42] Nagi
Ah... Why, huh?
[06:45] Suema
Yes.
[06:46] Suema
Why did you save Kyouko?
[06:51] Nagi
I'm surprised you could tell
that I actually saved her.
(Flashback) [06:57] Nagi
Should I just break it off? It'd still take
you a while to regenerate, Manticore!
(Flashback) [07:02] Suema
Kirima-san?!
(Flashback) [07:03] Kyouko
Ow, ow, ow! Stop!
(Flashback) [07:05] Nagi
It's not just me. Echoes
is also looking for you!
(Flashback) [07:08] Kyouko
I won't do it again!
I won't use the drug again!
(Flashback) [07:11] Nagi
You've got some nerve saying that
when you killed Kusatsu Akiko!
(Flashback) [07:15] Kyouko
I don't know what you're talking about!
I just got the drugs from her!
(Flashback) [07:19] Nagi
Guess you're just a normal human.
(Flashback) [07:22] Suema
Kyouko! Wh-What the heck is wrong with you?!
(Flashback) [07:26] Nagi
I'm sure you prefer this over making
it a public matter, Kinoshita.
[07:35] Suema
Kyouko told me everything.
[07:39] Suema
You saved those girls from
that weird drug, didn't you?
[07:43] Nagi
Yeah, I dunno about that.
[07:46] Suema
Also, what are the "Manticore" and "Echoes"
that you mentioned to Kyouko?
[07:50] Suema
Do they have something to do
with the kids who ran away?
[07:54] Nagi
That has nothing to do with you.
[07:59] Nagi
I have a messiah complex.
[08:03] Nagi
A lot of stuff happened,
and I quit being normal.
[08:09] Nagi
Besides, someone's gotta do it.
[08:13] Nagi
It's not like you can count on the teachers.
[08:16] Nagi
Now... I'll walk with you a ways
before it gets dark, Suema-san.
[08:29] Suema
This is far enough. Thanks.
[08:32] Nagi
Yeah? Well, see you tomorrow at school.
[08:37] Nagi
Oh, my suspension's over tomorrow.
[08:40] Suema
I see...
[08:42] Nagi
Say, Suema-san...
[08:45] Nagi
You shouldn't let your past
hold you back for too long.
[08:49] Nagi
If you get too obsessed,
it'll end up a curse.
[09:01] Minako
Kirima Nagi's back.
[09:05] Saotome
Looks like it.
[09:08] Saotome
It's fine. I told you, the current

Like I thought, she really
does seems like your type.

Since you're a guy, you'd probably

around her to inhale some drug

that she doesn't even know how she's getting.

A drug that she's subconsciously
synthesizing from her brain cells.
[13:12] Saotome
Yeah, no one's going to be surprised
if some loser who's started

doing drugs suddenly disappears.
[13:19] Minako
You're such a genius, Saotome-kun!

Sorry about that.

Sorry about that!
[13:26] Saotome
Are you afraid of the

Yes... Considering what
they're capable of doing...

I'm sure they have a few

Don't worry. If this slave plan works,
we'll have something to fight with.

You're not a failed creation. You're
going to be the ruler of the new world.
[14:00] Minako
Saotome-kun, you're my prince.
[14:05] Minako
Hey... Wanna make more slaves?
[14:08] Saotome
Yeah. Just a few more.
[14:11] Saotome
Eventually, we'll need
all the help we can get.
[14:20] Minako
Why? Why aren't you waking up?!
[14:25] Saotome
Don't worry. Just eat her to get rid of her.

I'm sorry... I'll do better next time.

There's no need to hurry. We still
have plenty of opportunities.

(Flashback) [15:02] Nagi
Yeah. You two are in the
same class, aren't you?
(Flashback) [15:07] Nagi
Were you guys close?
(Flashback) [15:08] Saotome
Well...
(Flashback) [15:11] Saotome
We went on a date once... But it was just once.
(Flashback) [15:15] Nagi
Did anything about her seem weird?
(Flashback) [15:18] Saotome
No, not really...
(Flashback) [15:21] Saotome
Um, did something happen to Kusatsu?
(Flashback) [15:24] Saotome
If there's anything I can do to help...
(Flashback) [15:27] Saotome
Senpai, those are...
(Flashback) [15:30] Nagi
Yeah, don't worry. It's nothing.
(Flashback) [15:38] Teach
Kirima, what are these?
[15:42] Minako
Kirima Nagi... Why is she...
[15:45] Saotome
I don't know, but she
definitely knows something.
[15:49] Minako
Why, though?! We've been doing so well!
[15:53] Saotome
Yeah, you're exactly right.
[15:55] Saotome
That's why she hasn't tracked us down yet.
[15:59] Saotome
But we should stop doing
things on school grounds.
[16:02] Saotome
It'll be a pain if people get suspicious.
[16:04] Minako
We're not going to kill Kirima Nagi?
[16:07] Saotome
Yeah... Not until we find out
exactly how much she knows.
[16:11] Minako
Let's kill her!
[16:13] Minako
Don't worry! I won't leave any evidence!
[16:15] Minako
Besides, she's a weirdo,
so even if she disappears—
[16:17] Saotome
Don't you know? Her current
parents are extremely wealthy,
[16:21] Saotome
so if she goes missing, she won't be
written off as a runaway delinquent.
[16:26] Minako
Is that really the only reason?
[16:28] Saotome
Huh?
[16:29] Minako
Are you sure it's not because you like her?
[16:34] Saotome
Why would you think that?
[16:36] Minako
Am I wrong? I'm right, aren't I?
[16:39] Naoko
Echoes? Are you here?
[16:51] Minako
No... Not Echoes... He's... He's...
[16:55] Saotome
What's wrong? What's this Echoes thing?
[16:59] Minako
My original... He evolved too much...
[17:05] Naoko
Echoes...
[17:14] Echoes
I wonder which ones the humans are...
(Flashback) [17:30] Boogiepop
You're trying to find something, aren't you?
(Flashback) [17:35] Boogiepop
Then you should probably save your
crying for after you've found it.
(Flashback) [17:57] Naoko
Hey, you're hurt!
(Flashback) [17:58] Naoko
What happened?
(Flashback) [18:04] Naoko
What's your name? Where do you live?
(Flashback) [18:09] Naoko
Well, this isn't getting anywhere.
I guess I'll have to get the police—
(Flashback) [18:16] Naoko
I see. I guess you have
your reasons... Sorry.
(Flashback) [18:23] Naoko
Don't worry. One of
my friends is a weird one.
(Flashback) [18:27] Naoko
I'm sure she'll help us.
(Flashback) [18:30] Naoko
As long as you're not a bad guy.
(Flashback) [18:33] Nagi
What? You're sheltering some guy?
(Flashback) [18:35] Naoko
Shh! Not so loud!
(Flashback) [18:38] Nagi
Don't worry, there's no one here.
(Flashback) [18:41] Nagi
What about that first-year, Tanaka?
(Flashback) [18:44] Naoko
Oh, no. This isn't like that.
(Flashback) [18:48] Naoko
Hey, if I told you that he came
from space, would you believe me?
(Flashback) [18:54] Nagi
Well, I guess. Since you're
the one telling me.
(Flashback) [18:58] Nagi
So why'd he come here all
the way from outer space?
(Flashback) [19:01] Naoko
To test humanity. Apparently there's
a vast will like that in space.
(Flashback) [19:07] Nagi
This all sounds intense.
Not that I really get it.
(Flashback) [19:11] Naoko
Apparently he was supposed
to conduct his investigation
(Flashback) [19:14] Naoko
by blending into society as one of us,
(Flashback) [19:16] Naoko
but I guess he accidentally
evolved too much.
(Flashback) [19:21] Naoko
Then he got captured by the
government or some organization
(Flashback) [19:24] Naoko
that wanted to take
advantage of his powers...
(Flashback) [19:26] Naoko
They gave him the name Echoes
and even made a copy of him.
(Flashback) [19:31] Nagi
Echoes?
(Flashback) [19:32] Naoko
Yeah. He can only repeat what other
people say, so he's called Echoes.
(Flashback) [19:38] Nagi
For someone who's so evolved,
that's pretty unfortunate.
(Flashback) [19:41] Naoko
That's not true.
(Flashback) [19:43] Naoko
Because Echoes just came to Earth to find
out if humans are genuinely kind or not.
(Flashback) [19:48] Naoko
He doesn't need to say anything
just for someone to be kind to him.
(Flashback) [19:54] Naoko
But apparently his clone ended up
becoming a terrifying man-eater.
(Flashback) [20:00] Naoko
They killed everyone in
the lab and ran away.
(Flashback) [20:04] Nagi
So this Echoes feels responsible and
is trying to track down this clone?
(Flashback) [20:09] Nagi
How did you even get all
this information, anyway?
(Flashback) [20:14] Nagi
Echoes can't talk, right?
(Flashback) [20:16] Naoko
I just had this feeling.
(Flashback) [20:18] Naoko
It felt like our minds were linked.
(Flashback) [20:22] Nagi
So you want me to find this clone?
(Flashback) [20:27] Nagi
Okay, where's Echoes right now?
(Flashback) [20:30] Naoko
At school. I thought that might
actually be the safest spot.
(Flashback) [20:34] Naoko
Don't tell anyone, okay?
(Flashback) [20:37] Nagi
Well, then, I'll just have to get
myself suspended soon.
(Flashback) [20:42] Naoko
Thanks, Nagi.
[20:56] Saotome
Don't worry, Manticore.
Everything's still in our favor.
[21:04] Saotome
You disposed of Kamikishiro Naoko's corpse.
[21:08] Saotome
There shouldn't be any problems.
[21:10] Saotome
Everyone will just think she's another
girl who randomly disappeared.
(Flashback) [21:18] Naoko
Hey, Nagi, when Echoes
goes back home to space,
(Flashback) [21:21] Naoko
how do you think he'll present us
humans to the rest of the universe?
(Flashback) [21:26] Naoko
Do you think he'll say, "Don't worry.
They're wonderful creatures"?
(Flashback) [21:31] Nagi
As long as you're nice to him, yeah.
(Flashback) [21:34] Nagi
Otherwise, we're doomed.
(Flashback) [21:37] Naoko
I hope he does.
[21:56] Nagi
Naoko disappeared. I can't find her anywhere.
[22:04] Nagi
Damn it. Say something, Echoes.

Oh, Sensei. I'll leave these notebooks here.

Apparently Naoko-san hasn't been home much.

There's no one at her house right now.

Her parents are going

[03:09] Tanaka
Yeah.
[03:11] Tanaka
That makes me even more worried.
[03:13] Saotome
In that case,
[03:14] Saotome
you should ask Kirima Nagi.

It might be something

She's the one who might know something.

She's been good friends with

I saw Kirima-san today.
[03:37] Saotome
All right, then.
[03:42] Kei
Hey, wait!
[03:45] Suema
Kirima-san should be here somewhere.
[03:49] Tanaka
You mean she's here, but she
hasn't shown up for class?
[03:53] Suema
Yeah, I mean, that's not
exactly rare for her.
[03:57] Saotome
There's definitely something going on here.
[04:14] Tanaka
Hey, Masami...
[04:17] Tanaka
Why do you know so much about Kirima-senpai?

I got rejected by her once.

I'm sorry to cause you two so much trouble.

It's fine. I'm just worried about Naoko-san.
[04:45] Kei
Speaking of, what's your relationship
with Naoko-san like, Tanaka-kun?
[04:49] Tanaka
Um...
[04:51] Saotome
He's...
[04:53] Saotome
apparently dating Kamikishiro-senpai.
[04:55] Kei
What?!
[04:56] Tanaka
Hey, Masami! That's supposed to be a secret!
[04:59] Saotome
President, is there anywhere else on campus
that might not draw much attention?
[05:04] Kei
Huh? Well...

I don't see anyone.
[05:15] Saotome
No signs that anyone's been here, either.

[05:20] Saotome
I've been thinking...
[05:22] Saotome
Why don't we call Kirima
Nagi over the PA system?
[05:26] Kei
We'd get in trouble!
[05:29] Kei
Besides, there'll be a teacher on duty.
[05:31] Tanaka
That might be the only
option we have left, though...
[05:34] Kei
Well, I guess that's probably
also our fastest option...
[05:38] Kei
All right. I'll let the teacher yell at me.

You're the best, President!

with you about Kamikishiro Naoko-san.
[06:02] Kei
Please report to the
broadcast room immediately.
[06:11] Nagi
Echoes, do you sense Manticore at all?
[06:17] Nagi
Why? Because this is a trap?

That's even more reason to go, then.
[06:25] Nagi
If we don't fall for it, she's gonna run.
[06:28] Nagi
Then we won't be able to chase her anymore.
[06:39] Echoes
Which are they?
[06:42] Tanaka
She's not coming.
[06:45] Kei
The teacher didn't show up, either.
[06:47] Kei
I wonder what happened.
[06:50] Tanaka
Maybe Kirima-san's not on
school grounds anymore.
[06:53] Saotome
No, she's definitely here. I'm sure of it.

[07:01] Saotome
Tch. Must be the breakers.

That's nothing you need to know.

She's not one of them, Echoes?
[07:33] Echoes
She's not...
[07:35] Kei
Who's that?

It also doesn't seem like they've
been modified in any way.

Okay... Sorry about this.
[07:42] Nagi
You guys are clean.
[07:44] Nagi

[08:01] Kei
That's my line! What in
the world is going on?!
[08:05] Tanaka
Y-Yeah! We're just looking
for Kamikishiro-san!

That's why I'm asking
you to explain what's—

I'd like you to keep quiet
about seeing us here.

After you did all this to us? Yeah, right!

We can help, too!
[08:45] Nagi
No, you can't.
[08:48] Kei
Why not?!
[08:50] Nagi
This isn't normal.
[08:53] Nagi

has to take care of it.

You're normal, right?

like me will bring you trouble.
(Flashback) [09:12] Nagi
Sorry.
[09:19] Nagi

[09:21] Nagi
You should probably just forget about Naoko.
[09:24] Tanaka
Why?!
[09:27] Kei
Hey, what's your problem, anyway?!
[09:30] Kei
I don't know what your deal is, but quit
acting like you're dealing with this all alone!
[09:35] Saotome
Chill out, Niitoki-san.
[09:37] Kei
But...
[09:39] Saotome
What can we do?
[09:41] Saotome
Kirima-san must have her own reasons.
[09:45] Saotome
Right, Kirima-san?
[09:49] Saotome
I understand.
[09:52] Saotome
Yes...
[09:54] Saotome
We just can't be satisfied
with normal people...
[09:58] Nagi
What are you talking about?
[10:01] Saotome
I'm just thinking
[10:02] Saotome
about how I'm actually glad
you ended up rejecting me.
[10:07] Saotome
I mean, if I'd ended up with you,
[10:11] Saotome
I would've been her enemy if I'd met her.
[10:16] Nagi
Again, what do you mean by that?
[10:19] Saotome
I'm saying...
[10:20] Saotome
For me, you're the one
on the normal side now.
[10:30] Saotome
And now... you're our enemy.
[10:37] Nagi
Mantico—
[11:01] Saotome
After him!
[11:02] Saotome
You can actually defeat him now!
[11:27] Saotome
I was actually hoping to get killed myself...
[11:31] Saotome
But this was pretty
pleasurable in its own way.
[11:46] Saotome
Being the killer myself...
[11:49] Saotome
I think I could get used to it.
[12:02] Echoes
Which are you?
[12:25] Minako
You're not getting away!
[12:46] Saotome
Very nice, Niitoki-san.
[12:49] Saotome
I love your eyes.
[12:51] Saotome
I love powerful, strong-willed eyes like yours.
[12:56] Kei
Who are you people?
[12:58] Kei
Yurihara Minako...
[13:01] Kei
What was that thing?!
[13:03] Saotome
The real Yurihara is already dead.
[13:05] Kei
Huh?
[13:07] Saotome
She's Manticore now.
[13:09] Kei
Manticore?
[13:11] Saotome
A man-eater.
[13:13] Kei
Huh?
[13:14] Kei
Then... all of the people
who've disappeared recently...
[13:19] Saotome
Yeah, most of them.
[13:21] Kei
I see. That's why Kirima-san was searching
for you two this whole time...
[13:28] Saotome
She's a fool.
[13:30] Saotome
She was helping out Echoes,
[13:33] Saotome
but never figured her enemy might
have someone helping her as well.
[13:47] Minako
That's enough, Saotome-kun.
[13:49] Minako
I'll take it from here.
[13:51] Saotome
You sure?
[14:00] Kei
Are you all right?
[14:05] Minako
There's no point in asking him for help.
[14:08] Minako
He's going to die.
[14:10] Saotome
There was poison in that pen
[14:12] Saotome
to prevent him from using
his regenerative powers.
[14:16] Saotome
He sure wasn't much of a threat,
despite being your original.
[14:21] Minako
Yes. He's supposed to be stronger.
[14:24] Saotome
To be honest, Kirima Nagi
caused us more trouble.
[14:29] Minako
That's why I'll be taking her form, right?
[14:31] Minako
She's the perfect disguise.
[14:35] Minako
I'm sure you feel that way
as well, Saotome-kun.
[14:42] Kei
Wh-What are you talking about?
[14:44] Minako
Hm?
[14:45] Minako
I'm going to get rid of this
body and become Kirima Nagi.
[14:49] Kei
Huh?
[14:50] Minako
Don't worry. You won't
officially be dead to society.
[14:55] Minako
You'll be modified and
continue to live as a slave.
[14:59] Kei
A slave?
[15:00] Minako
Yes. You'll be a walking corpse.
[15:04] Minako
Your soul will be gone. You won't even feel
anything when you see the boy you love.
[15:13] Kei
You two are demons!
[15:16] Echoes
De... mons...
[15:21] Echoes
I wonder which ones the humans are...
[15:25] Minako
Demons? That's perfectly fine with me.
[15:28] Minako
I was never human to begin with,
[15:30] Minako
and Saotome-kun is nothing
like you foolish humans.
[15:35] Kei
Humans are foolish?
[15:38] Kei
He and I might die here,
[15:41] Kei
but there will be others who find
you unforgivable, just like me!
[15:46] Kei
No matter where you go,
someone will find you!
[15:54] Echoes
Humans...
[16:04] Minako
What are you planning?
[16:05] Minako
Still trying to do something?
[16:13] Echoes
I shall transform my body
into information
[16:17] Echoes
and transmit myself back to the source.
[16:35] Kei
What? What just happened?
[16:38] Minako
Echoes...
[16:59] Minako
I'll kill you...
[17:01] Minako
I'll kill every last one of you!

I had no problem severing your arm,

but I guess your head
won't be quite so simple.

[17:43] Boogiepop
Right now, I'm Boogiepop.
[17:46] Boogiepop
Manticore, was it?
[17:48] Boogiepop
You seem to be stronger than humans,
[17:53] Boogiepop
but I am free to use the dormant strength
that humans harbor subconsciously.
[18:04] Boogiepop
Now, Shirou-kun!
(Flashback) [18:10] Boogiepop
If you had the opportunity
to shoot through the truth,
(Flashback) [18:15] Boogiepop
do you think you have the resolve to do it?
[18:35] Tanaka
Are you all right?
[18:37] Kei
Y-Yeah... But...
[18:40] Tanaka
Do you know them?
[18:42] Kei
I... I do, but...
[18:48] Boogiepop
I'd like you to help me out just a bit more.
[18:57] Kei
Kirima-san!
[18:58] Boogiepop
Echoes shared some of his life with you...
[19:02] Boogiepop
Looks like you've escaped death again.
[19:06] Boogiepop
Manticore said that Echoes
was too weak, and this is why.
[19:15] Boogiepop
Hey there, Fire Witch.
[19:17] Nagi
You again...
[19:19] Nagi
If you were out, you
should've shown up sooner.
[19:23] Boogiepop
Come now, don't be like that.
[19:28] Nagi
Is it over?
[19:29] Boogiepop
Yes.
[19:31] Boogiepop
Due to the sacrifice that Echoes made
and the bravery those two showed.
[19:40] Nagi
I see...
[19:44] Kei
I'm guessing that in the end,
it'll be like nothing ever happened...
[19:49] Nagi
Yeah.
[19:53] Kei
So you think that Naoko-san...
[19:58] Nagi
Probably.
[20:01] Tanaka
Thank you very much.
[20:04] Tanaka
I'm not sure how to say it,
[20:06] Tanaka
but I think I'm supposed to thank
you in Kamikishiro-san's place.
[20:15] Kei
I wonder who they really were.
[20:18] Nagi
Who knows? Although, Naoko did
say that Echoes was an angel.
[20:23] Kei
An angel?
[20:25] Nagi
He was ordered by God in Heaven to go
down to Earth and pass final judgment on
[20:30] Nagi
whether humanity should be
allowed to live or be destroyed.
[20:34] Nagi
To judge whether humans were good or evil.
[20:41] Nagi
If that's true... It looks like
he let us off the hook this time.
[20:47] Kei
Then the one who saved the world was...
[20:50] Nagi
Yeah.
[20:51] Nagi
And we can't even thank her now...
[20:59] Kei
I wonder what Boogiepop thinks about this.
[21:02] Nagi
Who knows? Why not ask them yourself?
[21:06] Nagi
I doubt they remember anything, though.
[21:21] Takeda
Don't worry, it's fine.
[21:22] Kei
Oh, are you heading home, Senpai?
[21:25] Takeda
Yeah.
[21:26] Kei
Dating is prohibited at school...
but I'll let you off the hook this time.
[21:37] Nagi
So you're Miyashita Touka.
[21:42] Nagi
I'm Kirima Nagi. Nice to meet you.
[21:49] Touka
Nice to meet you!

In the end, you're also stuck in the present.

It's truly a shame.

"Love is like snow that falls in April.

There are times when I suddenly
wake up in the middle of the night.
[03:30] Sawako
There's something sitting on my chest,
and it feels like it's staring into me.
[03:36] Sawako
But when I open my eyes...
[03:39] Jin
Ah... There's nothing there, correct?
[03:42] Sawako
I mean, I know it's probably
just a dream, but...
[03:47] Jin
Whatever this thing is...
Does it try to talk to you?
[03:51] Sawako
Yes! How did you know?
[03:54] Jin
Do you remember what it said?
[03:57] Sawako
No, I don't...
[03:59] Jin
So you can't remember.
[04:03] Jin
She doesn't have any roots.
[04:05] Jin
Barely any leaves, either.
[04:07] Jin
Only the bud is large...
[04:10] Sawako
I'm sorry for talking to you
about something so weird.
[04:12] Jin
And it's almost breaking the stem.
[04:16] Sawako
Um, Asukai-sensei?

I probably shouldn't say this,
[04:21] Jin
but I don't think you should
be taking exams so seriously.
[04:24] Sawako
Huh?
[04:25] Jin
It's not like your problems will be
gone once you get into university.
[04:29] Jin
It doesn't exactly secure your future, either.
[04:32] Jin
I'm sure you probably realize that.
[04:35] Jin
I believe that dream is a sign
[04:37] Jin
your subconscious is sending you, saying
you should reconsider entering university.
[04:45] Sawako
Right...
[04:46] Jin
Wanting to get into college
isn't a bad thing at all.
[04:50] Jin
But you shouldn't stress

Looks like the bud has relaxed a little.
[05:02] Sawako
Thank you very much.

I think you'd make a great therapist

[05:17] Sawako
Oh, sorry. That was probably rude...
[05:21] Jin
I'll think about it. I mean, they call

[05:24] Sawako
Oh, yeah... Sensei, what does the phrase
"Sometimes it snows in April" mean?
[05:30] Jin
Huh? What was that?

Well, that's the one thing
I remember from that dream.
[05:37] Sawako
But I'm sure it's not that important.
[05:40] Sawako
Goodbye!
[05:44] Jin
Sometimes it snows in April, huh?
[05:50] Jin
Ever since I was born,
[05:52] Jin
I've had the power to see what
people are missing in their hearts.
[05:57] Jin
There was a book I read
as a kid with the line,
[06:00] Jin
"The reason this child was beautiful was
because he had a rose within his heart,"
[06:05] Jin
and that's precisely what I see.
[06:12] Jin
However, every plant I see is missing something.
[06:17] Jin
Just like that girl was lacking roots,
[06:19] Jin
everyone is always lacking something.
[06:22] Jin
There's nothing they can do
about what they're missing,
[06:26] Jin
so sometimes I try to
say something helpful.
[06:30] Jin
But in the end, all I know
is what they're missing.
[06:33] Girl A
Hey, it's snowing.
[06:35] Girl B
You're right! It's so pretty!
[06:38] Jin
And I can't see my own
plant within me...

Huh?!
[06:48] Jin
D-Don't!

I'm sure it's no fun
[07:02] Suiko
being able to see what others cannot.
[07:04] Jin
What?!
[07:08] Suiko
I understand how you feel.
[07:12] Suiko
Because I used to be like that, too.
[07:15] Jin
Y-You, too?
[07:16] Suiko
Yes, because I can see people's deaths.
[07:20] Jin
Their deaths?
[07:22] Suiko
To be more precise,
[07:24] Suiko
I can see the energy that living
creatures generate right before
[07:28] Suiko
they burn themselves out.
[07:31] Suiko
I am a possibility in which
people can manipulate death.
[07:35] Suiko
My purpose is to recreate
the world in that way.
[07:41] Suiko
I am an enemy to the current world.
[07:44] Suiko
I bring cold to the world even in
the spring. I make it snow in April.
[07:49] Jin
Huh?!
[07:51] Suiko
Would you be willing to help me
with my work, Asukai-sensei?

You haven't had dinner yet,

[08:18] Jin
Huh? Not yet.
[08:20] Kotoe
Oh, good. I made some stew,
so I'll bring some over later.
[08:23] Jin
Okay, thanks.
[08:26] Kotoe
You look exhausted today.
[08:29] Jin
Yeah, well... It's about to get pretty busy.
[08:33] Kotoe
Must be rough.
[08:36] Jin
You talk as if it's not your problem,
[08:38] Jin
but you'll be going through
the same thing next year.
[08:41] Kotoe
I'm not really sure yet...
[08:44] Kotoe
Maybe I'll go to your prep school.
[08:47] Jin
Since when were you interested
in going to art school?
[08:50] Kotoe
But you're also counseling kids, right?
[08:52] Jin
Yeah. But most of the kids who
come see me are pretty serious.
[08:59] Kotoe
Hey! Are you trying to say I'm not serious?
[09:03] Kotoe
I guess that is how I come off...
[09:07] Jin
I'm kidding. You shouldn't come
to me for counseling, to be honest.
[09:12] Kotoe
Huh?
[09:13] Jin
You should try to figure
out your own problems.
[09:17] Jin
Especially when it comes to exams...
I'm a teacher, so I can't really say much.
[09:23] Jin
There's actually very little I can do.
[09:26] Kotoe
You worry way too much about others.
[09:30] Kotoe
I think you can take it a little easier.
[09:38] Jin
She's very thoughtful, kind,
and overall, a good girl.
[09:43] Jin
If only she had a bud...
[09:47] Jin
Thanks. That makes me feel a lot better.
[09:51] Kotoe
Nothing is ever futile. Everything works out!
[09:54] Kotoe
There's always a way!
[09:56] Jin
I wish I could think like that...
[09:59] Suiko
However, that way...
[10:02] Suiko
can be slightly cruel, and could even
go against what the world sees as just.
[10:06] Suiko
That's the thing.
[10:08] Jin
Y-You're—
[10:10] Jin
That hallucination from earlier!
Were you actually a ghost?
[10:12] Suiko
I wouldn't say that's accurate.
[10:15] Suiko
I'd say I'm more a future that's
taken form in the present.
[10:20] Suiko
Or maybe a hypothetical
possibility given substance.
[10:26] Suiko
Asukai-sensei, don't you
want to do something?
[10:31] Jin
A-About what?
[10:33] Suiko
About what people are
missing in their hearts.
[10:37] Suiko
What do you think you're
missing, Asukai-sensei?
[10:42] Jin
Huh?
[10:43] Suiko
What you're missing... is a calling.
[10:46] Suiko
I'll give you just a tiny
glimpse into the future.
[11:04] Suiko
What'd you think?
[11:05] Jin
What was that?! What did you just show me?
[11:08] Suiko
That is your calling, Asukai-sensei.
[11:11] Jin
I'd never do anything like that!
[11:14] Suiko
And whether you do or
don't is solely up to you.
[11:17] Suiko
But you can... and that truth won't change.
[11:22] Jin
Don't be ridiculous! Who the hell are you?!
[11:24] Jin
Are you a demon? Is that why you're trying to...
[11:26] Suiko
Tempt you?
[11:28] Suiko
No. You have to be the one to decide.
[11:31] Suiko
Sometimes birds fall from the sky,
[11:34] Suiko
and sometimes it even snows
in April, Asukai-sensei.

Can you think of any reason why
she'd have a grudge against you?
[14:11] Jin
There might be.
[14:13] Cop
Although, from what we found out, this
apparently stemmed from family issues.

It's probably because when she asked

(Flashback) [15:25] Suiko
Say, what do you think these
drugs are for, Asukai-sensei?
(Flashback) [15:29] Jin
She was probably forced to sell them.
(Flashback) [15:31] Suiko
Correct.
(Flashback) [15:32] Suiko
These are cheap batches
to get beginners hooked.
(Flashback) [15:35] Suiko
There are so many other ways
to make money quickly.
(Flashback) [15:40] Suiko
But the poor thing... Looking this
tattered, she couldn't even do that.
(Flashback) [15:46] Suiko
All she could do to make money
was obey someone else.
(Flashback) [15:50] Suiko
But she couldn't bring herself to do that.
(Flashback) [15:54] Suiko
It's such a sad story.
(Flashback) [15:56] Suiko
She didn't want to create
more people like herself,
(Flashback) [16:00] Suiko
but there was nothing she could do.
(Flashback) [16:03] Suiko
That's why she relied on you, because she
remembered you were nice to her before.
[16:11] Jin
So you knew, and yet...
[16:13] Cop
There's nothing we can do
[16:15] Cop
once they're that far gone.
(Flashback) [16:20] Suiko
But you see, Asukai-sensei...
(Flashback) [16:22] Suiko
Either way, this girl is finished.
(Flashback) [16:25] Jin
What?!
(Flashback) [16:26] Suiko
The drugs have destroyed her body.
(Flashback) [16:28] Suiko
Even if she hadn't run into you,
she wouldn't last the rest of the month.
(Flashback) [16:32] Suiko
She was going to helplessly die...
Pitiful, miserable, and sad.
(Flashback) [16:40] Suiko
But there might be something that you can do.
[16:50] Cop
I'm sure she had enough
reason to kill herself.
[16:54] Jin
Suicide?
[16:57] Cop
Yeah. You can go home shortly.
[17:00] Cop
Apparently, there's a witness.
[17:02] Jin
Suicide...
(Flashback) [17:07] Shizuko
Damn... it...
(Flashback) [17:09] Shizuko
Damn it...
(Flashback) [17:11] Shizuko
Damn it...
(Flashback) [17:14] Shizuko
Damn...
[17:32] Cop
Say, Asukai-san.
[17:34] Asukai
Yes?
[17:35] Cop
As you saw her dying...
Did you say something to her?
[17:40] Asukai
Why do you ask?
[17:41] Cop
Well, despite the way she died, she had
a very peaceful look upon her face.
[17:48] Cop
Like all the thorns in her heart
had been plucked away.
[17:53] Cop
That's how she looked.
[17:56] Jin
I see. I didn't say anything, though.
[18:06] Jin
I guess I'm going to be busy from now on...
[18:12] Masaki
Stop! She's got nothing to do with this!
[18:15] Boy A
Who the hell do you think you are?
[18:17] Boy B
Get the hell outta here!
[18:19] Boy C
We're here to have some fun with her.
[18:22] Masaki
S-Stop!
[18:24] Jin
Hey, you there.
[18:27] Masaki
Just to make sure I have the right idea...
[18:31] Boy C
Wh-Who the hell are you?
[18:33] Jin
Do you want to save that girl?
[18:36] Masaki
Y-Yes.
[18:37] Jin
I see. In that case, leave this to me, and run.
[18:42] Masaki
Yes, sir. Thank you very much!
[18:45] Boy C
H-Hey, wait!
[18:47] Jin
You're the ones who're going to wait.
[18:49] Boy B
What?
[18:50] Boy C
The hell's your problem, man?
[18:52] Jin
Well... It's not that I have
anything against you boys...
[18:56] Jin
But I will
[18:58] Jin
be using you as guinea pigs.
[19:08] Boy C
What... What the hell did you do to them?
[19:11] Jin
You wouldn't get it even if I told you.
[19:13] Jin
But I haven't hurt them.
[19:16] Jin
I've actually given them happiness.
[19:19] Boy C
Wh-What are you talking about?!
[19:21] Boy C
Who the hell are you?!
[19:23] Jin
Oh, yeah...
[19:26] Jin
Hey, what was that name again?
[19:29] Suiko
Imaginator.
[19:31] Jin
Yeah, let's go with that.
(Flashback) [19:51] Mariko
Wow, that's such a pretty melody.
(Flashback) [19:57] Suiko
If that sounded pretty,
(Flashback) [19:59] Suiko
it's just because you were predisposed
to like the song from the start.
[20:05] Mariko
When she was still alive,
Suiko-san used to always say...
[20:09] Suiko
Komiya-san, nothing is
absolute in this world.
[20:15] Suiko
Sometimes birds fall from the sky,
[20:17] Suiko
and sometimes it even snows in April.
[20:21] Mariko
Suiko-san.
[20:23] Boogiepop
Do you...
[20:25] Boogiepop
want to follow Minahoshi Suiko?
[20:29] Boogiepop
But even if you were to jump off that
ledge, you wouldn't be able to join her.
[20:36] Mariko
Are you... Boogiepop?
[20:38] Boogiepop
Ah... So you've heard of me.
[20:42] Mariko
What do you mean, I won't be able to join her?
[20:46] Boogiepop
Well, that's simple, really.
[20:48] Boogiepop
Unlike Minahoshi Suiko, you're willingly
trying to take your own life.
[20:55] Boogiepop
You know who I am, right? Then you
must know my mission, as well.
[21:01] Mariko
B-But that means...
[21:05] Boogiepop
Yes... I am a reaper.
[21:08] Boogiepop
I'm the one who killed Minahoshi Suiko.
[21:11] Mariko
B-But why?
[21:13] Boogiepop
Because she was an enemy to this world.
[21:17] Boogiepop
I guess I can put it another way...
[21:20] Boogiepop
Minahoshi Suiko has not yet
reached the next world.
[21:26] Mariko
Wh-What do you mean?
[21:28] Boogiepop
It means that I don't know
where she currently is, either.
[21:34] Boogiepop
Do you still feel like dying?
[21:36] Mariko
But... But...
[21:38] Mariko
I mean...
[21:45] Boogiepop
Sorry, but I have no
intention of killing you.
[21:49] Boogiepop
I'm afraid you're not even worth it.
[21:58] Boogiepop
I guess you're not here anymore...
[22:02] Boogiepop
But are you still going
to continue, Imaginator?

Hey.
[01:33] Aya
Why are you so concerned about me, Masaki?
[01:36] Masaki
I'm just trying to get closer to you.
[01:42] Aya
Do you want to do it?
[01:43] Masaki
I'm sorry, what?
[01:44] Aya
Do you want to do me?
[01:47] Aya
Like, have sex.
[01:48] Masaki
Wh-What the heck, Orihata?!
[01:51] Aya
It's fine. If you want to, just say so.
[01:56] Masaki
Her name is Orihata Aya.
[01:59] Masaki
She's fifteen, just like me.
[02:01] Masaki
Apparently, we're boyfriend and girlfriend.
[02:06] Masaki
I say "apparently" because the way
we met is pretty complicated,
[02:11] Masaki
and there are a lot of
mysterious things about her.
(Flashback) [02:15] Aya
That's a rather dumb thing to do.
[02:20] Masaki
In the winter of my third year of middle school,
I returned to Japan from Phnom Penh,
[02:24] Masaki
where I was living with my parents,
in order to attend a Japanese high school.
(Flashback) [02:28] Teacher
This is Taniguchi Masaki-kun.
[02:31] Masaki
I just went to this middle school so
that I could officially graduate...
[02:36] Masaki
But likely because of that attitude,
[02:38] Masaki
I had a hard time fitting
in with everyone in class.

[02:43] Masaki
According to my big sister, Nagi...
(Flashback) [02:45] Nagi
Sadly, that's how it is.
(Flashback) [02:47] Nagi
They're just a bunch of losers who are
afraid of people who do things differently.
[02:52] Masaki
That's why I tried to play the good guy and
tried to avoid bringing attention to myself.
(Flashback) [02:58] Girl A
Wow, it's so easy to understand now!
(Flashback) [03:00] Girl B
You're so smart! Guess I should
expect that from Mr. Study Abroad.
[03:03] Masaki
But apparently, that didn't
sit well with some people.
(Flashback) [03:09] Boy A
Hey, Mr. Study Abroad.
(Flashback) [03:12] Boy B
Don't you think you stand out too much?
(Flashback) [03:14] Masaki
You think so? I'll be more careful, then.
(Flashback) [03:16] Boy C
Be more careful?
(Flashback) [03:18] Masaki
Yeah. I'll try not to stand out as much.
(Flashback) [03:21] Boy A
Who the hell do you think you are?
Come with us for a sec.
[03:28] Masaki
I'd been learning karate for self-defense,
so I knew how to fight,
[03:33] Masaki
but getting into trouble could affect
my odds of getting into high school.
[03:38] Masaki
Guess I'll let 'em hit me four or
five more times and it'll be over.
[03:41] Masaki
And then, right when I thought that...
(Flashback) [03:44] Aya
That's a rather dumb thing to do.
(Flashback) [03:47] Aya
What's the point of this?
(Flashback) [03:50] Aya
What sort of failures does he display
that you'd do that to him?
(Flashback) [03:56] Boy A
Huh? Who the hell are you, a friend of his?
(Flashback) [03:59] Aya
I'm asking you why.
(Flashback) [04:02] Boy A
Because he's a womanizer.
(Flashback) [04:07] Aya
I see.
(Flashback) [04:12] Aya
So in other words,
(Flashback) [04:13] Aya
the reason behind your rage is your
own pent-up sexual frustrations.
(Flashback) [04:18] Masaki
Huh?!
(Flashback) [04:20] Boy A
What? What did you just say?
(Flashback) [04:22] Aya
In that case, take your
frustrations out on me.
(Flashback) [04:28] Boy A

(Flashback) [05:08] Boy A
H-Hey, wait!
(Flashback) [05:10] Jin
You're the ones who're going to wait.

Okay.

(Flashback) [06:03] Aya

Huh? Why would I hate you?
(Flashback) [06:10] Aya
I can't let other people hate me...

But... you glared at me.

(Flashback) [06:24] Masaki
Er... No, that was just...

But you haven't experienced anything

I've had my eye on you, Anou-kun.

Because you can't be saved.

Are you the one who gave me the letter?

Why give me something like that?
[18:48] Anou
I thought it might be some kind of prank.

But seriously, how'd you

Wh-What the heck?!
[19:11] Spooky E
When did you escape my control?
[19:14] Anou
Huh?
[19:14] Spooky E
The only reason you should be here
is because I ordered you to be here.
[19:19] Anou
Wh-What?
[19:21] Spooky E
You should've deleted all the
memories regarding the letter.
[19:24] Spooky E
And yet you found the letter.
[19:27] Spooky E
Whatever.

I guess we're just going
to have to do this again.

But since one of your victims
is right in front of me,
[20:18] Boogiepop
I can hardly ignore what's going on.
[20:26] Boogiepop
I apologize for not giving you top
priority, but I will have to destroy you.
[20:30] Spooky E
Damn it... Just go ahead and try it!
[20:48] Boogiepop
He got away, but you should be fine now.
[20:53] Boogiepop
Because if he ever tries to contact
you again, I'll show up, as well.
[20:58] Boogiepop
Also, I'm rather curious as
to how you escaped his control,
[21:03] Boogiepop
but I'm sure they didn't
leave any clues behind.
[21:10] Boogiepop
This is the real letter.
[21:12] Anou
The real one?
[21:14] Boogiepop
They're asking you out on a date.
[21:17] Boogiepop
The meeting place is here, but the
date is the day after tomorrow.

Make sure you don't get that wrong.

I don't even know my own feelings...
I know I softened the sentiment with a silly
phrase like "I think," but that's how I feel.

So what you're telling me is...

You're not currently pursuing your

You're just meeting with a guy.
[01:42] Spooky
Well, aren't you special, Camille?
[01:46] Spooky
So, are you having sex with him?

No, not yet.

Hurry up and let him do you!
[01:52] Aya
Yes, sir.
[01:53] Spooky
Well, there's really no
need to rush that mission,
[01:56] Spooky
but how's the other one going?
[01:58] Spooky
Have you gotten any clues?
[02:00] Aya
No... Not yet...
[02:03] Spooky
You sure you understand
your situation, failure?
[02:06] Spooky
There are countless others to replace you.
[02:08] Spooky
If you can't prove useful to the Towa

[02:12] Spooky
we can eliminate you immediately.

I-I know... Spooky E...

Hurry up and find them, then.
They should be somewhere nearby.
[02:24] Spooky
For some reason, young girls
keep talking about them.

They must know something.
[02:29] Spooky
It's your job to find out.
Do you understand?!
[02:33] Aya
I... understand...
[02:36] Masaki
Hey, what the hell?!
[02:37] Masaki
Let go of Orihata!
[02:39] Aya
N-No!
[02:45] Spooky
Not bad, pretty boy.
[02:47] Aya
Please don't. Please don't hurt Masaki!
[02:50] Spooky
Shut up. Does this kid do
martial arts or something?
[02:54] Spooky
Or is he an MPLS?
[02:57] Aya
Masaki isn't an enemy to
the Towa Organization!
[02:59] Aya
He's just a normal human!
[03:01] Spooky
I see. If he was actually an MPLS,
I was going to be on my guard...
[03:05] Spooky
But if he's just a normie, I'll let
him see my Spooky Electric powers.
[03:11] Masaki
Wh-What's with this guy?!
[03:13] Aya
Masaki, run!
[03:22] Masaki
How's that? That should teach you a—

Too bad. That might work on a human,

How are you feeling?
[03:49] Masaki
Huh?
[03:51] Masaki
What?
[03:53] Masaki
Why was I asleep here?
[03:56] Aya
You must've gotten heat stroke or something.
[03:59] Masaki
Really? I don't remember anything, though.
[04:02] Aya
I'm sorry. This is my fault.
[04:05] Aya
I...
[04:06] Masaki
That's not true!

More importantly, we're supposed
to be celebrating today.

Is there anything you want me to do?
[04:14] Aya
Something I want you to do?
[04:17] Masaki
Yeah! I'll do anything, so ask away!

It's your job to find out.
Do you understand?!
[04:26] Aya
In that case... Will you do me a favor?

Yeah, sure. What is it?

You're pretty friendly with

[05:17] Touka
It's a weird painting.
[05:19] Suema
Yeah, it's actually a bit
disturbing. To me, at least.
[05:23] Touka
So you don't like it?
[05:25] Suema
It's not that... I feel as though whoever
painted this doesn't like people like me.
[05:32] Suema
Does that make me weird?
[05:33] Touka
I think it's fine. I'm not surprised

you're a friend of Kyouko's.
[06:50] Suema
Asukai Jin? You mean
the artist who painted this?
[06:53] Kotoe
Yeah. He's an instructor here, and my cousin.
[06:57] Kotoe
Our parents aren't that close, though.
[07:01] Suema
So, what's wrong with him?
[07:03] Kotoe
Well, you're an expert on... when
people suddenly act all weird...
[07:11] Kotoe
Stuff like that.
[07:12] Suema
"Stuff like that," huh?
[07:17] Suema
Okay, so what's wrong with
your cousin, Jin-niisan?
[07:20] Kotoe
How do I put this... It's like
nothing bothers him anymore.
[07:24] Suema
Nothing bothers him?
[07:25] Kotoe
Yeah. Deep down, he's a really nice
person, so he was always troubled.
[07:30] Kotoe
I'm not sure if I should
mention this or not,
[07:34] Kotoe
but his dad was his only close family,
and he died in a really weird way.
[07:38] Suema
How did he die?
[07:39] Kotoe
Well...
[07:41] Suema
You don't have to tell me. Is there
anything else concerning you?
[07:44] Kotoe
Other than that, he's been spending
nights away from home lately.
[07:47] Suema
He's gone at night?
[07:48] Kotoe
Yeah... When I ask him why, all he says
is that he's staying at a friend's place.
[07:54] Suema
That's not exactly unusual for a young guy...
[07:57] Kotoe
I thought so, too!
[07:59] Kotoe
But one time, I found some dark stains
[08:01] Kotoe
on his clothes when he came
home in the morning...
[08:03] Suema
Stains?
[08:04] Kotoe
Yeah, like blood...
[08:07] Kotoe
Jin-niisan didn't have
a scratch on him, though.
[08:10] Kotoe
I want to talk to the police, but
that'd probably make things worse...
[08:15] Kotoe
Suema-san?
[08:17] Suema
Right. I'm listening.
[08:19] Suema
Because of my past, I've been
yearning for something.
[08:25] Kotoe
I don't know what to do anymore...
[08:28] Suema
U-Um, Kinukawa-san...
[08:31] Suema
Could you let me handle this?
[08:37] Suema
I've longed to take on the darkness myself.
[08:44] Suema
So a normal guy wandered around all night
and came home with blood on his clothes?
[08:51] Suema
He sounds like some kind of vampire.
[08:57] Suema
I need to find some kind of clue...
[09:07] Suema
Huh?
[09:09] Suema
Isn't this... the girl who committed suicide?
[09:13] Suema
Minahoshi Suiko?
[09:14] Suema
Why did Asukai Jin draw a picture of her?
[09:21] Misaki
But Asukai-sensei, we really are
friends. We don't hate each other.
[09:28] Misaki
Right, Yuriko?
[09:29] Yuriko
Y-Yeah.

I'm not saying it's just
you two specifically.

of grudge against others,

and you two are no exception.
[09:42] Misaki
But... I mean...

What's the matter?
[09:45] Misaki
Um... Are we really going to do this?
[09:48] Jin
Everyone else has.
[09:50] Jin
Do you not want to? I won't force you.
[09:54] Yuriko
No, let's do it.
[09:56] Misaki
Y-Yuriko...
[09:57] Yuriko
Let's let him do this. I don't wanna
end up just some normal examinee.
[10:03] Jin
What will it be? This is all up to you.
[10:06] Misaki
Could you order me to do it? Then I...
[10:10] Jin
No. The Imaginator can't force anyone.
[10:14] Suema
The Imaginator?
[10:16] Jin
You can influence events,
or you can be swept along by them.
[10:20] Jin
It's one or the other.
[10:22] Yuriko
Can it just be me, then, Sensei?
[10:25] Jin
You'd need another partner
besides Kitahara-kun, then.
[10:28] Yuriko
I'll find someone!
[10:30] Misaki
Okay, fine... I'll do it.
Please do this, Sensei.
[10:34] Jin
Very good.
[10:35] Jin
I'll respect your decision.

[15:36] Suema
Dying is useless. That I can say for sure.
[15:40] Aya
It's... useless?
[15:42] Suema
Yes.
[15:43] Aya
But I... want to die.
[15:48] Suema
Are you being serious?
[15:50] Suema
I see. You can't now, though.
[15:54] Suema
Because I found you.
[15:56] Aya
I'm sorry... Suema-san.
[15:59] Suema
Huh? You know who I am?
[16:03] Aya
Yes. Someone I know goes here,
and they told me about you.
[16:08] Suema
I see. Well, I can only imagine
what they told you about me.
[16:12] Aya
I'm sorry.
[16:14] Suema
It's nothing to apologize about.
[16:17] Aya
Um... Suema-senpai.
[16:19] Suema
Yes?
[16:21] Aya
What do you think about Boogiepop?
[16:24] Suema
Huh? What do I think about them?
[16:26] Masaki
Boogiepop?
[16:29] Masaki
I've never heard of them. What is that?
[16:31] Aya
They're called a reaper.
[16:33] Masaki
A reaper...
[16:36] Aya
Yes. Boogiepop kills someone when
they're at the height of their beauty,
[16:41] Aya
before they can become
ugly. That's who they are.
[16:45] Masaki
Huh? So what about them?
[16:49] Suema
Sorry, I hope I don't offend you, but
I'm not really fond of those rumors...
[16:55] Aya
You don't believe them?
[16:57] Suema
No. I'm more interested in
criminal psychology and reality.
[17:03] Suema
So rumors like that aren't my cup of tea.
[17:05] Aya
I see.
[17:07] Suema
But... How do I put this?
[17:10] Suema
Imagery like reapers and stuff
like that is pretty common.
[17:15] Suema
It's typical adolescent imagery.
[17:18] Suema
Everyone's anxious about something,
[17:19] Suema
so sometimes they feel like they want
everything around them to be destroyed.
[17:24] Aya
Masaki, why don't you try becoming Boogiepop?
[17:27] Masaki
Huh? Me?
[17:29] Aya
Yes. I'm sure you can do it.
[17:32] Masaki
Huh?
[17:33] Suema
Adults say irresponsible things like,
[17:35] Suema
those periods of anxiety are just
a phase and we'll all just get over it,
[17:39] Suema
but it's never that easy, of course.
[17:43] Suema
That's why Boogiepop exists.
[17:45] Aya
Huh?
[17:46] Suema
I think that's why they exist. To protect
an unstable heart and to keep it like that.
[17:53] Aya
Do you think they actually protect?
[17:55] Suema
Yeah, I think that's how it is.
[18:01] Masaki
Wait a sec... You want me to become a reaper?
[18:05] Aya
Don't worry. The reaper
thing is just a rumor.
[18:09] Aya
On the contrary, I actually heard
they help people more than anything.
[18:13] Masaki
Help people? What do you want me to do?
[18:17] Aya
Anything.
[18:18] Masaki
Anything?
[18:19] Aya
You're strong, Masaki.
[18:22] Aya
I'm sure you can become Boogiepop.
[18:27] Aya
But... I'm pretty sure they won't protect me.
[18:34] Aya
Senpai, can I talk to you about something?
[18:37] Suema
Sure.
[18:38] Aya
I think... this boy likes me.
[18:42] Aya
But I...
[18:45] Aya
I'm no good. I can't do something like that.
[18:49] Suema
Ah...
[18:50] Aya
I feel bad.
[18:52] Aya
I'd love to do anything for him if
I could, but there's nothing I can do.
[18:59] Aya
Instead, I'm causing all
sorts of trouble for him.
[19:05] Aya
I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me.
[19:08] Aya
I'm in no place to ask you
to do something like that.
[19:13] Aya
I'm sorry, Masaki.
[19:14] Aya
I'm really sorry for asking you
to do something so ridiculous.
[19:19] Masaki
Will it be fun for you if I become
this Boogie-what's-it?
[19:24] Aya
Huh?
[19:25] Masaki
In that case, sure, I'll do it!
[19:27] Masaki
I still don't really understand,
but if it's something I can do...
[19:31] Aya
Really?
[19:32] Masaki
Yeah! We're friends, aren't we?
[19:36] Aya
I'm sorry, Masaki.
[19:39] Aya
What should I do?
[19:41] Aya
If this goes on, he's going to hate me.
[19:44] Suema
Is that why you want to die?
[19:46] Aya
I'm not supposed to let anyone hate me.
[19:48] Aya
That's the only reason
I'm allowed to be alive.
[19:52] Suema
Well, that's impossible.
[19:53] Aya
Huh?
[19:54] Suema
It's impossible to live without
someone hating you.
[19:59] Suema
Because being alive means that you have
to come into contact with other people.
[20:02] Suema
No matter how hard you try, you'll
eventually end up hurting someone.
[20:06] Aya
B-But...
[20:08] Suema
I'm sure someone's already come
to hate you. I'm certain of it.
[20:13] Aya
Wh-What do you mean?
[20:15] Suema
That's just the way things are.
[20:17] Suema
Going through life believing that no one
could possibly hate you is detestable.
[20:23] Suema
There's an author named Kirima Seiichi,
and in one of his books, he said,
[20:29] Suema
"There is definitely something out there.
[20:31] Suema
Something that makes people believe that
they have to know their place in life."
[20:36] Suema
"If there is anything that
gives value to human life,
[20:40] Suema
it is the struggle with that something.
[20:44] Suema
In the battle with the Imaginator that does
your thinking for you, 'Versus Imaginator'...
[20:52] Suema
That's the starting line upon
which all humans must stand."
[20:57] Suema
Basically, humans are all bound by the chains
of common sense far more than we realize,
[21:03] Suema
and that makes us suffer.
[21:06] Aya
Chains?
[21:07] Suema
If we're being bound, we have to break free.
[21:11] Suema
That's what that means.
[21:14] Suema
I'm sure you have some kind
of rules you have to abide by.
[21:19] Aya
Yes...
[21:20] Suema
This might sound harsh,
[21:22] Suema
but I think you're missing the
concept of that struggle.
[21:26] Suema
You have to have that.
[21:29] Aya
Right...
[21:30] Suema
You can die after you fight.
[21:33] Aya
You're right.
[21:36] Aya
I'm not sure if I can do it, but...
[21:40] Aya
I'll give it a try.
[21:46] Aya
Thank you very much.
[21:47] Suema
Sure. Good luck with everything, Orihata-san.
[21:50] Aya
Thank you.
[21:52] Aya
Oh, Senpai...
[21:54] Suema
Yes?
[21:55] Aya
If the one I have to fight is Boogiepop...
[22:00] Aya
Should I still fight?
[22:02] Suema
Fight, no matter what.
[22:05] Aya
Okay.

All of it.

I want everything you have.

My name is Boogiepop...
That's just how it is.

Great job, Masaki.
[01:03] Masaki
This outfit is so stuffy.
[01:06] Aya
But that's how they're dressed,
according to the rumors.
[01:09] Masaki
It's rough trying to fight
in this outfit, honestly.
[01:15] Aya
You're a hero, Masaki.
[01:23] Aya
Thanks to you,
[01:25] Aya
we saved at least a hundred people from

It's quite noble.

Noble, huh?

Oh... Your hand.

this charade of me acting as Boogiepop.
[03:28] Masaki
School's going to start soon.
What should we do?
[03:35] Masaki
I mean, we can't keep doing this forever...
[03:37] Masaki
Right?
(Flashback) [03:40] Masaki
Y-You're asking me to wear that?
(Flashback) [03:42] Aya
You'll wear it when you appear.
(Flashback) [03:49] Masaki
Does this work?
(Flashback) [03:51] Masaki
You think I went too hard on this groper?
(Flashback) [03:53] Aya
You really are amazing, Masaki.
(Flashback) [03:56] Masaki
I don't really like using you as bait, though.
[03:59] Masaki
I still have no idea why
she wants me to do this.
[04:03] Masaki
I'm actually relieved that today was a dud.
[04:05] Masaki
It'd be scary if we got attacked all the time.
[04:10] Masaki
What should we do? Should we keep doing this?
[04:15] Aya
Masaki.
[04:16] Masaki
What's up?

Isn't there anything you

[04:22] Masaki
I'll do anything you say. I'll do
anything you want, Masaki.
[04:29] Aya
I know that's not enough... But...
[04:33] Aya
I'll do everything you desire.
[04:39] Masaki
In that case... Why don't we continue
this Boogiepop thing a little longer?
[04:45] Aya
Are you sure?
[04:46] Masaki
Yeah. I'm actually starting

Whatever.

[07:41] Kotoe
When I get really depressed, I always
come here, to my secret place.
(Flashback) [07:47] Kazuko
Listen.
(Flashback) [07:48] Kazuko
Try not to go near him until
I figure out what's going on.
[08:00] Kotoe
I first met Jin-niisan when I was five.
(Flashback) [08:05] Father
You finally have the nerve to show
your face, and this is what you do?
(Flashback) [08:09] Father
Stop it, Nii-san.
(Flashback) [08:11] Father
It was your decision to leave the
family. I have no money to lend you.
(Flashback) [08:15] Jin
Uncle's right, Father.
(Flashback) [08:17] Jin
There's no way he'd let you
borrow money so carelessly.
(Flashback) [08:20] Jin
Let's go home.
(Flashback) [08:22] Jin's Father
Yeah, you're right...
[08:24] Kotoe
He was my first love, but I had
no idea what to say to him.
[08:30] Kotoe
I thought I'd never see him again.
[08:35] Kotoe
But then, when I was nine,
[08:37] Kotoe
we would end up meeting again in
a way I couldn't have imagined.
(Flashback) [08:40] Father
You don't need any money?
(Flashback) [08:42] Jin's Father
Yeah, I'm sorry about back then.
(Flashback) [08:44] Jin's Father
I don't need money anymore, though.
(Flashback) [08:47] Father
Then what do you want?
(Flashback) [08:49] Jin's Father
Koji, do you have any interest in paintings?
(Flashback) [08:53] Father
Paintings?
(Flashback) [08:53] Jin's Father
Absolute masterpieces.
(Flashback) [08:55] Jin's Father
My current line of work deals with them.
(Flashback) [08:59] Father
You're selling paintings?
But that line of work
(Flashback) [09:02] Father
requires you to have a really careful
eye or you'll mess up someday.
(Flashback) [09:05] Jin's Father
I have nothing to worry about.
I'm letting him handle all of that.
(Flashback) [09:10] Father
You're leaving it to Jin?
(Flashback) [09:11] Jin's Father
He's a genius. He's already gotten
countless awards for his art.
(Flashback) [09:15] Father
I see... Are you planning on becoming
an artist in the future, Jin?
(Flashback) [09:20] Jin
It's my dream.
[09:27] Kotoe
Then, that night...
(Flashback) [09:49] Kotoe
What were you doing?
(Flashback) [09:51] Jin
Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you.
(Flashback) [09:55] Jin
I was just hoping it would snow.
(Flashback) [09:58] Kotoe
Snow?
(Flashback) [09:59] Jin
Yeah... I could've sworn
it looked like it might.
(Flashback) [10:03] Kotoe
Do you like snow?
(Flashback) [10:05] Jin
Yeah. I know it seems a bit childish, but...
[10:10] Kotoe
Shortly afterward, my uncle passed away,
[10:13] Kotoe
and Jin-niisan was all alone.
[10:19] Kotoe
The cause of his death is still unclear.
[10:21] Kotoe
There were no signs of poisoning, so the
cause of death was left undetermined.
(Flashback) [10:26] Lady
He's such a good boy.
They should just adopt him.
(Flashback) [10:29] Lady B
But he declined the offer, didn't he?
[10:33] Kotoe
But I was somewhat relieved that
we could continue as cousins,
[10:37] Kotoe
rather than as brother and sister.
[10:43] Kotoe
And yet...
[10:48] Kotoe
Jin-niisan...
[10:50] Spooky
Ah, so that's the name of your man?

There's something I want to ask you.
[11:30] Bartender
Huh?
[11:31] Kotoe
Have you ever heard of the Imaginator?
[11:39] Big guy
Hey, where did you hear that name?
[11:41] Big guy
Where the hell is that bastard?
[11:43] Kotoe
Ah, so it's one person?
[11:45] Big guy
I'm asking the questions here!
[11:47] Big guy
Listen up. I know guys who got all screwed up
[11:50] Big guy
thanks to that Imaginator bastard!
[11:53] Kotoe
Screwed up? Could you elaborate
a bit more on that?
[11:58] Kotoe
I'll definitely pay you for the intel.
[12:01] Big guy
Who the hell are you?
[12:03] Kotoe
Well, I'm definitely not
a friend of the Imaginator.
[12:11] Big guy
I haven't seen 'em personally.
[12:14] Big guy
I just know a guy who happened to
coincidentally see this freak in action.
[12:18] Kotoe
You're making it sound like they saw
some supernatural phenomenon.
[12:22] Big guy
Well, he did.
[12:23] Big guy
He doesn't know how, but he said this freak
managed to send a bunch of guys flying.
[12:31] Kotoe
Flying?
[12:32] Big guy
Yeah. But he didn't punch or kick 'em.
[12:36] Big guy
And the ones who got sent flying...
[12:41] Big guy
turned on the others.
[12:44] Kotoe
You make it sound like
they're some kind of monster.
[12:46] Big guy
Yeah... I don't know what's going on, either.
[12:50] Kotoe
What happened to the guys
who got sent flying?
[12:53] Big guy
What happened to 'em?
[12:55] Kotoe
You mentioned they were all messed up.
[12:57] Big guy
Right.
[12:58] Big guy
I happened to run into a guy named
Tsuyoshi just once after that.
[13:01] Big guy
We were never close,
but when I called out to him...
[13:08] Big guy
The bastard looked over at me and smiled.
[13:12] Kotoe
And what's so weird about that?
[13:14] Big guy
He's just not the type to do that.
[13:16] Big guy
I didn't know about the Imaginator back then.
[13:20] Big guy
It was just like he was
a totally different person.
[13:24] Kotoe
I see...
[13:25] Kotoe
So what I've gathered is that the
Imaginator does something to these people
[13:30] Kotoe
and draws them to their side.
[13:33] Big guy
Something like that.
[13:35] Kotoe
So what did their voice sound like?
[13:37] Big guy
Voice?
[13:38] Kotoe
Your friend heard them announce themselves.
[13:40] Kotoe
That's how you found out their name, right?
[13:42] Big guy
Yeah, he said it sounded really clear.
[13:45] Big guy
They apparently sounded all high and mighty.
[13:47] Kotoe
He didn't see their face, though?
[13:49] Big guy
Nope.
[13:50] Big guy
Come to think of it...
[13:51] Kotoe
What?
[13:52] Big guy
He did mention something about the color
white... like, he saw a figure in white.
[14:00] Big guy
What's your problem? Did that ring a bell?
[14:02] Kotoe
Damn it! I can't access it!
[14:05] Big guy
Hey...
[14:06] Kotoe
Never mind. It's nothing.
[14:09] Big guy
Hey, who the hell are you?
[14:12] Big guy
What are you gonna do with all this info?
[14:14] Kotoe
You don't want to get
revenge for your friends?
[14:18] Big guy
And how am I supposed to do that?
[14:24] Kotoe
Use this cash to gather up some people.
[14:26] Kotoe
Then we're going to hunt the Imaginator down.
[14:30] Big guy
H-How the hell'd you get all this money?
[14:33] Kotoe
This is nothing... At least, to me.
[14:40] Nagi
Hey, Masaki.
[14:43] Masaki
What's up?
[14:44] Nagi
You've been going out a lot lately.
[14:47] Masaki
You think so?
[14:48] Nagi
And you've been coming home

[14:51] Masaki
It's not a big deal.

[14:59] Masaki
I've just been practicing karate.
[15:01] Masaki
I'd been out of practice

[15:03] Nagi
Didn't Sakakibara-sensei tell you that

[15:09] Masaki
I know. I promise I'm not being cocky.

Is she a friend of yours?
[15:39] Aya
She's... my senpai at school.
[15:42] Kotoe
The name's Kinukawa Kotoe. Nice to meet you.
[15:48] Masaki
Likewise.
[15:49] Kotoe
Wow, you must be used to
girls if you didn't even
[15:52] Kotoe
hesitate to take another girl's hand.
[15:54] Masaki
Seriously, who are you?
[15:56] Kotoe
I'm Orihata-san's friend, just like you...
[16:01] Kotoe
Right, Boogiepop-san?
[16:05] Aya
Kinukawa-san knows about us...
[16:08] Kotoe
Yes, and I'd love to help out.
[16:12] Masaki
And why do you want to help?
[16:13] Kotoe
Do I really need a reason
to do the right thing?
[16:16] Kotoe
You should totally keep
at it, Taniguchi-kun.
[16:19] Kotoe
She came to talk to me about it.
[16:21] Kotoe
You actually don't want to
do it anymore, do you?
[16:34] Masaki
Orihata, come with me for a sec.
[16:36] Kotoe
Oh, don't mind me. I won't get in your way.
[16:40] Masaki
I'll pay your tab. Please take your time.
[16:48] Aya
Masaki, I...
[16:51] Masaki
What did she do to you?
[16:53] Aya
Nothing...
[16:55] Masaki
Who the hell does she think she is?
[16:57] Masaki
Does she have something on you?
[16:59] Aya
It's nothing like that. Really.
[17:02] Masaki
Then what the hell is going on?
[17:04] Masaki
She definitely didn't seem like a friend.
[17:08] Masaki
If you're in some kind of trouble, I can—
[17:09] Aya
She saw the outfit.
[17:11] Masaki
Outfit?
[17:12] Aya
Yes. She's the daughter of the landlord
in my apartment building, so...
[17:19] Masaki
Kinukawa? Like Kinukawa Enterprises?
[17:22] Aya
Yes.
[17:23] Masaki
But why would she...
[17:25] Aya
Well...
(Flashback) [17:31] Kotoe
It's convenient that you just happened to
be living in Kinukawa Kotoe's territory.
(Flashback) [17:35] Kotoe
I'm going to make this my base
for hunting down this Imaginator.
(Flashback) [17:40] Aya
Imaginator?
(Flashback) [17:42] Kotoe
I've got plenty of people
ready to hunt them down.
(Flashback) [17:45] Kotoe
You're going to take care of those men.
(Flashback) [17:47] Aya
B-But then, Masaki will...
(Flashback) [17:50] Kotoe
I told you. We're done with that brat.
(Flashback) [17:56] Kotoe
What?
(Flashback) [17:58] Kotoe
Don't tell me you still don't
want that brat to hate you.
(Flashback) [18:03] Aya
But the Towa Organization told me that
I shouldn't let anyone hate me...
(Flashback) [18:07] Aya
So...
(Flashback) [18:08] Kotoe
What?!
(Flashback) [18:09] Kotoe
You think you've got any right
to get picky about men now?
(Flashback) [18:14] Kotoe
Just so you know, I'm not some terminal.
(Flashback) [18:17] Kotoe
I'm a copy.
(Flashback) [18:19] Kotoe
How many guys have you taken
since you left the facility?
(Flashback) [18:24] Aya
I...
(Flashback) [18:25] Kotoe
All because they wanted
to see if synthetic humans
(Flashback) [18:28] Kotoe
could crossbreed with normal ones...
(Flashback) [18:30] Kotoe
But you didn't get knocked up even once.
(Flashback) [18:32] Aya
Right...
(Flashback) [18:33] Kotoe
I've actually succeeded, and I don't
even have anything down there!
(Flashback) [18:37] Kotoe
So why the hell does a failure
like you get to have all the fun?!
(Flashback) [18:41] Kotoe
God damn it!
(Flashback) [18:43] Kotoe
Listen carefully, Camille.
(Flashback) [18:45] Kotoe
Before we cut that brat loose,
see if you can crossbreed with him.
(Flashback) [18:48] Aya
Then Masaki will be freed
from all of this, right?
(Flashback) [18:52] Kotoe
Huh? Yeah, sure.
[18:55] Aya
Thank goodness.
[18:57] Aya
Masaki won't have to be Boogiepop anymore.
[19:03] Aya
Masaki... I must save Masaki.
[19:08] Aya
I'm sorry. I...
[19:10] Masaki
You can't tell me?
[19:12] Aya
It's all my fault.
[19:15] Aya
Let's stop this Boogiepop thing for a while.
[19:18] Masaki
Okay.
[19:18] Aya
Yes.
[19:19] Masaki
This doesn't concern you anymore.
I'll keep doing it on my own.
[19:22] Aya
Huh?
[19:23] Aya
What do you mean, Masaki?
[19:25] Masaki
As I said... I'm going to
keep going on my own.
[19:30] Aya
But why? You didn't want
to do it in the first place.
[19:33] Masaki
In that case... You didn't want
to do it either, did you?
[19:40] Masaki
You should've just been honest about it!
[19:43] Aya
I...
[19:45] Masaki
I didn't want to keep putting you
in danger as the bait, either.
[19:48] Masaki
But I thought this was
what you wanted, so I...
[19:53] Aya
Why... Why are you...
[20:01] Masaki
I'm going. Bye.
[20:14] Aya
Masaki!

Wait.
[20:16] Aya
Please, let me go!
[20:17] Spooky
Excellent work, Camille.
[20:20] Spooky
Change of orders.
[20:22] Spooky
Apparently, he's going to continue
being Boogiepop on his own.
[20:26] Spooky
You said you wanted it to stop,
[20:28] Spooky
so I came to convince you to reconsider...
[20:29] Spooky
I dunno what's going on,
but apparently he's a moron.
[20:32] Aya
What do you mean?
[20:33] Spooky
Sooner or later, they're going to find
Boogiepop's corpse in some alley.
[20:40] Aya
So by "cutting him loose"...
[20:41] Spooky
Yeah. Then everyone will find out
that the true identity behind
[20:45] Spooky
the legendary Boogiepop is just
some pathetic, heartbroken idiot!
[20:49] Aya
No! You can't!
[20:55] Aya
I'll report back to the Towa

[20:59] Spooky
Do you actually think you still

[21:31] Masaki
I never thought too deeply about why
Orihata would want to do any of this.

No. I'd like to speak to you

Have you heard about Kinukawa-san
changing all of a sudden?
[03:18] Jin
Yeah, I actually just found out about that.
[03:23] Suema
And what do you make of it?
[03:24] Jin
What do you mean?
[03:25] Suema
Kinukawa-san had feelings for you.
[03:29] Jin
Yeah... I had a hunch about that.
[03:32] Suema
But I'm fairly certain that the current
Kinukawa-san doesn't care about you at all.
[03:38] Jin
That's honestly better, for her sake.
[03:41] Suema
Are you sure you don't know?
[03:43] Jin
Know what?
[03:45] Suema
The reason she changed.
[03:49] Jin
What makes you think I do?
[03:51] Suema
It's just a hunch.
[03:53] Suema
Kinukawa-san was very worried about you.
[03:56] Jin
Worried? What do you mean?
[03:59] Suema
I can't tell you that. I promised
her I wouldn't tell anyone.
[04:02] Suema
But now that I've met you, I can sort of
understand why she felt the way she did.

It's true that she's changed, but it
seems she wasn't the only one.

Huh?

not make sense to you.
[04:54] Suema
That's not—
[04:56] Jin
You said you were friends with Kotoe-chan,
but I can't see you two actually getting along.
[05:01] Jin
You just want to feel satisfied.
[05:04] Jin
Am I wrong?
[05:06] Suema
That... That may be true.
[05:10] Suema
But...
[05:11] Jin
What is it?
[05:11] Suema
I want to save her.
[05:13] Suema
It's because we're not close
that I want to help her.
[05:18] Jin
I see.
[05:19] Suema
And in order to do that, I figured
I should learn more about you first.
[05:24] Jin
About me, huh?
[05:26] Jin
Do you want to know what I'm doing?
[05:30] Jin
I'm trying to change the world.
[05:34] Jin
I want to fill in whatever's
missing inside people's hearts.
[05:38] Jin
That's my goal.
[05:39] Jin
And to do so, I'm planting flower
seeds within people's hearts.
[05:46] Jin
The problem was the balance of that seed.
[05:49] Jin
Without a complete shape, and unable
to grant any single desire...
[05:55] Jin
And yet, a balanced seed that
included all the factors.
[06:01] Jin
Fortunately, I managed to find
a girl with that balanced seed.
[06:07] Jin
Now I just need to find that
girl, extract her seed,
[06:11] Jin
and spread it all over the world.
[06:13] Jin
Eventually, the seed will take root,
and before everyone realizes it,
[06:16] Jin
whatever was missing in
their hearts will be filled.
[06:20] Jin
I need that girl to become
a sacrifice for that.
[06:24] Jin
You also have something
missing in your heart.
[06:26] Jin
I'm sure you realize that.
[06:29] Jin
What if I told you...
[06:33] Jin
I'd fill that void for you?
[06:35] Suema
I-I've—
[06:37] Suema
I've already had someone else save me!

Oh? And who's that?

about sacrificing a girl...
[07:06] Jin
Well, people who model for paintings

The girl I was talking about...
happens to be a model.

But you shouldn't feel obligated

I'm very aware of what she was
forced to do and with whom.
[09:16] Kotoe
Hey, did you know? People called her
"Public Toilet" behind her back.
[09:20] Kotoe
To be honest, I feel sorry for you.
You fell for her goody-two-shoes façade.

How about you do some explaining?
What was Orihata forced to do?
[10:11] Kotoe
What? There are things you're

There's nothing you've
found yourself engrossed in,
[13:40] Jin
and that made you sad.
[13:43] Jin
That's why you liked me.
[13:46] Jin
You incorrectly believed that
I possessed that same sadness.
[13:51] Jin
Yes... Unlike your sadness,
mine is just despair.

Speaking of enemies... did you know?
[16:30] Spooky
Know what?
[16:31] Jin
There were a number of
people who died from
[16:33] Jin
the experiments you were conducting.
[16:36] Jin
They had allergic reactions to
the drugs or ended up in shock.
[16:41] Spooky
So what? That's not a big deal.
[16:45] Jin
Correct. It's not a big deal.
[16:48] Jin
You can just compare it to a car
accident and call them unlucky.
[16:53] Jin
He was definitely unlucky.
He never had any luck.
[17:00] Spooky
What are you talking about? What
the hell are you babbling about?!
[17:05] Jin
History.
[17:06] Spooky
What?
[17:07] Jin
Do you know the smartest thing you can
do when confronted with an enemy?
[17:12] Jin
History's proven this.
[17:15] Jin
You make your enemy into your ally.
[17:18] Jin
That's the smartest and
most effective method.
[17:23] Jin
Enemy... No, I'd consider you my sworn enemy.
[17:28] Spooky
What?
[17:29] Jin
You and I have similar powers.
This actually works out perfectly for me.
[17:35] Jin
Meaning if I'm doing something similar,
[17:38] Jin
the Towa Organization will just
think that you're doing it.
[17:43] Spooky
Y-You bastard! Don't tell me you're—
[17:45] Jin
Precisely. I'll use you as a cover and
take over the Towa Organization.
[17:51] Jin
Then eventually, I'll spread the Imaginator
throughout the Towa Organization.
[17:55] Jin
At least, that's my plan.
[17:57] Spooky
L-Like that's even—
[18:00] Jin
It is possible.
[18:01] Jin
And it is necessary.
[18:02] Jin
In order for my plan to come
true all over the world,
[18:06] Jin
I absolutely need backing
from a vast organization.
[18:09] Spooky
Plan?
[18:11] Jin
To put it simply, I plan to
standardize humanity's psyche.
[18:17] Jin
That'll put an end to all the sad disconnections
and misunderstandings in the world.
[18:22] Spooky
You're... You're completely insane!
[18:32] Jin
What's the matter?
[18:34] Spooky
M-My body... My body won't...
[18:37] Jin
It's not your body. It's your mind.
[18:40] Spooky
Wh-What did you do to me?
[18:43] Jin
I stripped away all the
thorns from your flower.
[18:46] Jin
That's all.
[18:49] Jin
It means that I've removed
your capacity for aggression.
[18:54] Spooky
Th-That's impossible...
[18:56] Jin
I told you. I'm on a completely
different level than you.
[19:02] Jin
Listen up. Your power,
[19:04] Jin
the one that allows you to control a
person's brain using electrical shock...
[19:07] Jin
It lacks the concept of a soul.
[19:11] Jin
You don't know anything about the principal
force that drives human beings.
[19:15] Jin
You just jam some information
down into their minds.
[19:22] Jin
That's not enough to really change any person.
[19:27] Jin
First, you have to find out
what's missing in their hearts,
[19:29] Jin
and how you're going to fill that void.
[19:32] Jin
That's the most important thing.
[19:35] Jin
Like grafting.
[19:39] Jin
I can do the same for you as
soon as we find you a partner.
[19:44] Jin
In return, I'll be taking
some of your powerful stem.
[19:48] Jin
It'll cut down your strong
mental fortitude a bit,
[19:51] Jin
but with the overwhelming joy
you'll feel, it won't matter.
[19:55] Spooky
I don't understand.
[19:57] Jin
You won't right now.
[19:59] Jin
But everyone's happy.
They've all become my allies.
[20:05] Spooky
No, what I don't understand is why doing
something like this gives you so much joy.
[20:12] Spooky
Not that it matters anymore.
[20:15] Spooky
I've wanted to try this for quite some time,
[20:18] Spooky
but my hatred was too strong, so I couldn't.
[20:22] Spooky
It might be because these thorns
you mentioned are gone now.
[20:28] Spooky
Imaginator... Boogiepop is after you.
[20:52] Aya
I need to... I need to
get out of here somehow.
[20:59] Aya
Wh-Who's there?
[21:05] Aya
Wh-What are you doing here?
[21:08] Jin
Hello. I guess you do remember me.
[21:11] Aya
P-Please, could you help me?
[21:15] Jin
Unfortunately, I cannot.
[21:17] Aya
Huh?
[21:18] Jin
I need you to become a sacrifice.
[21:20] Aya
Wh-What are you talking about?
[21:23] Jin
There isn't much time.
[21:25] Jin
I didn't plan on Spooky E dying.
[21:29] Aya
He's dead?
[21:31] Jin
I'm sure someone else from the Towa
Organization will come to this city soon.
[21:34] Jin
Before that happens, I need to
make it snow, at least here.
[21:38] Aya
Then he's—

(Flashback) [00:13] Nagi
Hey!

You're strong, Masaki.
[00:17] Masaki
No... I'm not strong at all!
[00:20] Masaki
I can't even tell what's
right or wrong on my own!
[00:25] Masaki
That's why I have to live according

(Flashback) [00:29] Aya
I'm sure you can become Boogiepop.

And... I actually felt like I could...

Yes, I know.
[01:45] Masaki
Are you all right, Orihata?
[01:46] Aya
Yes. Why do you ask?
[01:49] Masaki
I talked with that Kinukawa girl.
[01:52] Aya
I see.
[01:53] Masaki
She said someone brainwashed her.
[01:57] Aya
That's correct. So please, don't hate her.
[02:00] Masaki
Are you in any danger?
[02:03] Aya
No, I'm fine.
[02:05] Masaki
Is someone else there?
[02:08] Masaki
Orihata, I want to help you.
[02:11] Masaki
I want to save you!
[02:14] Masaki
I don't care about the fact

[02:14] Masaki
I don't care about the fact

I really enjoyed the time I spent with you.
[02:20] Masaki

Masaki, that's enough.
[02:24] Masaki
Huh?
[02:25] Aya
Please, just forget about me.

You'll be better off with a normal girl.
[02:30] Masaki
That's not what I'm talking about! I—
[02:32] Aya
You found out, right? What I've been doing.
[02:36] Aya
It's all true. You never would have believed
I'd done all those things, would you?
[02:43] Masaki
That's—
[02:45] Aya
Sorry. That's the kind of person I am.
[02:49] Aya
I was deceiving and betraying
you this whole time.

I-It doesn't matter to you!
[03:14] Aya
Just leave me alone.
[03:16] Masaki
Orihata...
[03:19] Aya

[03:27] Masaki

But if you do anything to Orihata,
I'll make sure you regret it!
[03:39] Masaki
Hey, are you lis—
[03:50] Jin
Were you happy that you
got to hear his voice?
[03:54] Aya
Yes...
[03:55] Jin
I see. Then I guess your life
wasn't a complete waste.
[04:01] Jin
You're better off than me, at least.
[04:06] Suema
How are you feeling?
[04:07] Kotoe
I'm okay.
[04:09] Suema
I see... That's good.
[04:13] Kotoe
Everything that happened
must've surprised you.
[04:16] Suema
Well, a little bit.
[04:19] Suema
The other day surprised me more, though.
[04:22] Kotoe
The other day?
[04:23] Suema
I mean hearing about how your
reputation had suddenly changed.
[04:27] Kotoe
They must be saying all
sorts of things about me.
[04:30] Suema
I'm sure everyone's opinions will change
once they hear about what happened.
[04:35] Suema
Rumors are always like that.
[04:39] Kotoe
Thanks... Did you come to cheer me up?
[04:42] Suema
No. I wanted to ask you
something personally.
[04:46] Kotoe
About what?
[04:47] Suema
Who was the one controlling you?
[04:52] Kotoe
How'd you know?
[04:53] Suema
Because people can't change that easily.
[04:59] Suema
Do you have any idea?
[05:02] Kotoe
I'm not sure... But remember when
you told me not to see Jin-niisan?
[05:07] Kotoe
I remembered that because
it was such a shock...
[05:10] Suema
Sorry! That was just—
[05:12] Kotoe
No, that's not what I'm saying.
[05:15] Kotoe
There's a place I go
whenever I get depressed.
[05:20] Kotoe
I remember going when that happened,
so it might've happened after that...
[05:24] Suema
Where is that place?
SIGN No Trespassing
[05:26] Kotoe
An amusement park that was never
completed, called Paisley Park.
[05:30] Kotoe
Have you heard of it?
[05:31] Suema
Yes, I know it.
[05:32] Kotoe
There's a tower there called
The Ladder. That was where...
[05:38] Kotoe
It's hazy, but I remember...
[05:41] Kotoe
Jin-niisan told me goodbye.
[05:46] Kotoe
And that my feelings for him
were just admiration.
[05:50] Kotoe
I already knew that, though.
[05:53] Kotoe
I'm such a little kid... It's ridiculous.
[05:57] Suema
Kinukawa-san, do you still
have feelings for him?
[06:02] Kotoe
I'm not sure.
[06:03] Kotoe
I don't know, but... But...
[06:08] Kotoe
But... I want to see him again.
[06:13] Kotoe
I want him to tease me and
bicker with me like we used to.
[06:24] Touka
How'd it go?
[06:27] Suema
I'm sorry, Touka,
[06:30] Suema
but could you go home by yourself?
[06:33] Touka
Is something wrong?
[06:34] Suema
I think I have to go.
[06:37] Touka
Go? Go where?
[06:40] Suema
To Paisley Park.
[06:42] Suema
I promised her that I would
do something about this!
[06:45] Touka
W-Wait, Suema!
[06:53] Masaki
Sorry, Nee-san. I promise
I'll return your motorcycle.
[07:03] Suiko
Just a little more...
[07:06] Suiko
Just a little bit more...
[07:08] Suiko
Just a little more, and I'll
be able to get through.
[07:29] Aya
Are you going to kill me here?
[07:31] Jin
No, not yet.
[07:32] Jin
I should have some time
before the Towa Organization
[07:35] Jin
finds out about Spooky E's death.
[07:38] Aya
I see.
[07:39] Jin
And I'm not technically going to kill you.
[07:42] Jin
I will be tearing out your heart, though.
[07:47] Jin
Then you will longer be yourself,
or anything worth calling human.
[07:52] Aya
In that case, I'm already...
[07:56] Aya
No, it's nothing...
[08:00] Jin
We'll begin late at night when
most people will have settled in.
[08:03] Jin
I'd rather not cause a panic.
[08:06] Jin
The seed I'll create from
your heart will probably
[08:09] Jin
only be enough to influence
the people of this city,
[08:13] Jin
but that's more than enough.
[08:15] Aya
Huh?
[08:17] Jin
A new seed should be born within
the people your seed takes root in.
[08:23] Aya
How much will this affect everyone?
[08:26] Jin
Not much, really.
[08:28] Jin
They probably won't even notice.
[08:31] Jin
They'll just notice one day that
they aren't feeling pain anymore.
[08:34] Jin
That's all.
[08:37] Aya
I see. In that case...
[08:41] Jin
What's the matter?
[08:43] Guy
There's someone heading over here.
[08:44] Jin
Who is it?
[08:47] Guy
It's the boy. The boy who was
masquerading as Boogiepop.
[08:52] Jin
I see. Deal with him, just as we discussed.
[08:56] Guy
Understood.
[09:06] Masaki
Orihata!
[09:09] Masaki
Orihata!
[09:18] Masaki
Wh-What the...
[09:35] Masaki
So that's what's going on.
[09:46] Clown
There's nothing to fear, Boogiepop-kun.
[09:50] Clown
There's nothing to be frightened of.
[09:52] Clown
You'll understand soon enough.
[09:55] Clown
There's nothing to fear.
[09:56] Clown
There's nothing to be frightened of.
[09:58] Clown
You'll understand soon enough.
[10:00] Clown
There's nothing to be frightened of.
[10:01] Masaki
Damn it! Let go of me!
[10:04] Clown
Don't worry. Once you awaken,
you'll be one of us.
[10:12] Masaki
S-Stop it!
[10:20] Clown
Wh-Who are you?
[10:23] Boogiepop
You should already know
[10:25] Boogiepop
who I am.
[10:39] Suema
There's definitely something going on.
[10:43] Boogiepop
I had no real intention of showing up,
[10:46] Boogiepop
but if this wasn't taken care of quickly,
[10:48] Boogiepop
a certain little busybody would've
gotten herself mixed up in this.
[10:55] Boogiepop
Three, two, one...
[11:01] Suema
Isn't this Wagner's...
[11:04] Jin
"Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg"?
[11:07] Jin
The electricity in the park
should be shut off.
[11:10] Jin
What's going on?
[11:15] Masaki
It was almost like magic.
[11:20] Masaki
But they aren't a wizard.
[11:23] Masaki
They're a reaper.
[11:26] Boogiepop
Hey, there.
[11:28] Boogiepop
We finally meet.
[11:30] Masaki
This is who I was pretending to be?
[11:34] Boogiepop
Well, you'd been brainwashed.
[11:38] Masaki
Brainwashed? What are you talking about?
[11:40] Boogiepop
Just what it sounds like.
[11:44] Boogiepop
There should have been at least one moment
[11:46] Boogiepop
during your time with Orihata Aya
when your memories became vague.
[11:51] Boogiepop
That's when Spooky E paralyzed your fear.
[11:57] Masaki
But that's—
[12:02] Boogiepop
Looks like that rings a bell.
[12:05] Masaki
But then... I...
[12:08] Masaki
If I was brainwashed, then...
then my feelings for Orihata...
[12:14] Masaki
I was just being controlled,
and my feelings were lies?
[12:18] Boogiepop
You thought everything you've done up to
this point was due to your own free will?
[12:24] Boogiepop
Have you ever done anything that you were
completely sure was of your own free will?
[12:32] Boogiepop
Adapting yourself to society
is essentially being
[12:35] Boogiepop
brainwashed to meet societal expectations.
[12:42] Boogiepop
And you don't even know by whom.
[12:45] Boogiepop
Now the problem is, within your psyche—
[12:49] Boogiepop
which has no freedom—what
do you value the most?
[12:53] Masaki
I... I...
[12:56] Boogiepop
What do you desire, while you are so
tightly bound to this world?
[13:03] Masaki
I...
[13:08] Aya
The music stopped. What was that all about?
[13:11] Jin
Music is highly effective in
stirring people's emotions.
[13:16] Jin
It rattles them and robs them
of their rational judgment.
[13:21] Jin
But to think that boy is...
[13:24] Aya
What's wrong?
[13:25] Jin
It seems we have no more time to waste.
[13:28] Jin
I'm going to have to deal
with you right away.
[13:31] Aya
I see. Then please, get it over with.
[13:34] Jin
I will.
[13:37] Jin
Who's there?!
[13:40] Aya
I-It can't be...
[13:42] Boogiepop
There's no need to be surprised, Camille-kun.
[13:46] Boogiepop
Haven't you been searching
for me this entire time?
[13:50] Jin
Wh-What? Who are you?
[13:53] Boogiepop
You should already know
[13:56] Boogiepop
who I am.
[14:03] Boogiepop
You're being rather violent just because
you can't see a flower within me,
[14:08] Boogiepop
Imaginator.
[14:09] Jin
You know that much?
[14:11] Boogiepop
You're not going to forgive me, then?
[14:16] Boogiepop
Well, whatever. Why don't you go ahead
and do whatever you were going to do?
[14:21] Jin
What?
[14:23] Boogiepop
I'm telling you to go ahead
and do whatever you want.
[14:28] Boogiepop
If you can, that is.
[14:35] Jin
Wh-What? What's going on?!
[14:39] Aya
I thought this might happen.
[14:43] Aya
You wanted to use me to do
something to humans, right?
[14:47] Jin
So what if I did?!
[14:49] Aya
I knew it. I figured this
wouldn't go well, then.
[14:55] Aya
Because...
[14:59] Aya
I'm not human!
[15:03] Boogiepop
I see.
[15:05] Boogiepop
Regardless, it appears
that you had already lost.
[15:09] Jin
Wh-What do you mean?
[15:11] Boogiepop
The moment you met this girl,
[15:14] Boogiepop
your defeat had already been ensured.
[15:19] Boogiepop
I'm not sure how you met, or what kind
of ironic twist of fate it was, though.
[15:25] Jin
B-But...
[15:26] Boogiepop
This is what happens when all you
care about is the future, Imaginator.
[15:33] Boogiepop
You believe yourself to be the only
option, so your feet get swept out
[15:38] Boogiepop
from under you as soon as another
unexpected possibility shows up.
[15:44] Jin
Damn it...
[15:55] Boogiepop
It's not going to work, Imaginator.
[15:57] Boogiepop
He can never break through.
[16:00] Boogiepop
You're just going to keep falling.
[16:05] Boogiepop
There are no possibilities left for you.
[16:08] Boogiepop
Even if it were to snow in April,
[16:13] Boogiepop
it would never accumulate, melting
away because of the spring's warmth.
[16:51] Aya
Did he die? Did you kill him?
[16:57] Boogiepop
Well, he may suffer from
whiplash for a while.
[17:03] Aya
Why did you save him?
[17:05] Boogiepop
Because he wasn't worth killing.
[17:09] Boogiepop
Now that the Imaginator is gone,
he's no enemy of mine.
[17:14] Aya
So if someone was truly your
enemy, you wouldn't hold back.
[17:19] Boogiepop
Correct.
[17:29] Boogiepop
As for those... I guess I can leave them.
[17:32] Boogiepop
I'm sure the Towa Organization will come
and deal with them if we leave them be.
[17:36] Aya
B-But why?
[17:37] Aya
Why are you helping me?
I'm supposed to be your enemy.
[17:42] Boogiepop
And why would you be my enemy?
[17:44] Aya
Because the Towa Organization is—
[17:46] Boogiepop
The Towa Organization itself is not my enemy.
[17:50] Boogiepop
Though I am unsure of what
you all think about me.
[17:55] Boogiepop
Same goes for Asukai Jin.
[17:57] Boogiepop
His powers were never a concern of mine.
[18:02] Boogiepop
Besides, he gravely misunderstood
his own powers.
[18:08] Aya
What do you mean?
[18:10] Boogiepop
You appear to believe that Asukai Jin
couldn't harm you because you aren't human,
[18:17] Boogiepop
but sadly, that doesn't matter.
[18:20] Aya
B-But...
[18:21] Boogiepop
Apparently, he could see people's hearts,
[18:25] Boogiepop
but people's hearts grow through
communication with others.
[18:31] Boogiepop
An unparalleled psyche
that could solve everything
[18:37] Boogiepop
simply doesn't exist.
[18:39] Boogiepop
No matter how much he
tampered with someone's heart,
[18:43] Boogiepop
the results would only be temporary.
[18:47] Boogiepop
Even if he had ripped out your heart,
[18:51] Boogiepop
you would've quickly recovered.
[18:55] Boogiepop
Because you have something protecting
you deep within your heart.
[19:04] Masaki
Damn it... Wait for me, Orihata...
[19:10] Suiko
It appears that Asukai-sensei was
[19:13] Suiko
too obsessed with what was
missing in people's hearts.
[19:16] Suiko
Whatever was missing merely presented
the opportunity to make something new,
[19:22] Suiko
but didn't provide enough
strength to break through.
[19:25] Suiko
You're quite impressive.
[19:29] Suiko
This is as far as I go.
There's no future for me...
[19:33] Suiko
But I know that someday, someone
will be able to break through.
[19:46] Suiko
I'm reminded whenever I see
someone strong like you.
[19:58] Boogiepop
That's the reason why Asukai
Jin couldn't harm you.
[20:04] Boogiepop
He only asked me to help out.
[20:07] Boogiepop
Oh, yes. If you have nowhere to go,
[20:10] Boogiepop
you should go talk to
someone close to that boy.
[20:15] Boogiepop
She's a rather strange one called the Fire
Witch, but I'm sure she'll help you out.
[20:28] Suema
What is this?
[20:31] Suema
What in the world is going on?
[20:40] Suema
Hey, are you okay?
[20:43] Suema
Y-You're Masaki-kun!
[20:45] Masaki
S-Suema-san.
[20:48] Masaki
Perfect timing...
[20:49] Suema
Hey, what's going on?
What in the world happened?
[20:53] Masaki
Suema-san...
[20:55] Masaki
There should be a girl
somewhere around here.
[20:58] Masaki
Could you help her for me?
[21:00] Suema
Huh? A girl?
[21:02] Masaki
Please...
[21:03] Suema
Wh-Who is it, Masaki-kun?
Who are you talking about?
[21:07] Boogiepop
That girl is atop a tall
tower called The Ladder.
[21:12] Suema
N-Now who is it?!
[21:15] Boogiepop
It doesn't really matter who I am.
[21:17] Boogiepop
If you could bring that girl down to
see him, I'd greatly appreciate it.
[21:24] Boogiepop
The Asukai Jin you're looking
for is also up there.
[21:29] Suema
Who are you?
[21:31] Suema
Who in the world are you?
[21:35] Suema
Answer me!
[21:39] Guy
Ow...
[21:41] Suema
Once again, another incident
had passed right by me.
[21:59] Suema
But in the end, whoever that voice
belonged to happened to say...
[22:04] Boogiepop
You should already know
[22:06] Boogiepop
who I am.

[00:29] Boogiepop
Hey, there.
[00:31] Boogiepop
I apologize if my whistling
was bothering you.
[00:34] Echoes
Oh, no. I was just wondering what
you were doing in a place like this.
[00:40] Boogiepop
I'd like to ask you the same thing.
[00:43] Boogiepop
What are you doing in a place like this?
[00:46] Boogiepop
Who might you be?
[00:51] Echoes
My name is Echoes.
[00:53] Boogiepop
Ah, so you're Echoes.
[00:56] Echoes
You know me?
[01:00] Boogiepop
You're Kamikishiro Naoko-san's
friend, are you not?
[01:03] Boogiepop
And you came from somewhere
not of this world.
[01:09] Echoes
Who are you?
[01:14] Boogiepop
My name is Boogiepop.
[01:18] Echoes
That's a rather strange name.
[01:21] Boogiepop
I could say the same about yours, no?
[01:23] Boogiepop
But your name is far more poetic.
[01:28] Echoes
I didn't exactly receive this
name in the best way, though.
[01:33] Echoes
And your name... How did you get your name?
[01:41] Boogiepop
That's a pretty long story.
[01:45] Boogiepop
I suppose I need to start by
telling you about the scarecrow.
[01:50] Echoes
Huh?
[01:54] Boogiepop
A scarecrow. A straw man used
to keep the crows away.

The Towa Organization raised Teratsuki

You mean Teratsuki?

It's his job to make it easier for the

[05:20] Pigeon
I mean, I guess that's fine.

It's definitely good at its work,

though I hear it's just one guy.
[06:44] Kuroda
Currently, Teratsuki's company, MCE,
[06:47] Kuroda
is a very influential
company within this country.
[06:51] Kuroda
I guess being too successful
can be a problem, too.
[06:57] Kuroda
I happened to find an article about
a donation to a certain hospital.
[07:02] Kuroda
Considering he was a philanthropist,
this was nothing out of the ordinary.
[07:05] Kuroda
But something about this
hospital caught my eye.
[07:11] Kuroda
The giant system known
as the Towa Organization
[07:14] Kuroda
continues to observe and conduct
experiments all around the world.
[07:19] Kuroda
It wants to track down whatever it was
that gave humans their intelligence,
[07:23] Kuroda
and it wants to detect whatever is next.
[07:27] Kuroda
Most of its research
centers around evolution.
[07:31] Kuroda
But it doesn't know what exactly comes next.
[07:36] Kuroda
That's why it's trying to
preserve what makes us human.
[07:41] Kuroda
It's basically a struggle for survival.
[07:44] Kuroda
To ensure that humans prevail in
the inevitable evolutionary war.

I see. So you're Kuroda-san.

And what's your name, Little Miss Detective?
[08:53] Nagi
I'm Nagi. Kirima Nagi.
[08:58] Kuroda
Nagi-chan, huh? That's a rather unusual name.
[09:01] Nagi
My dad's such a weirdo.
[09:05] Nagi
"Always remain calm,

[09:08] Nagi
That's the "calm" that "Nagi" comes from.
[09:10] Kuroda
I see.
[09:12] Nagi
Say, Kuroda-san... Your investigation
doesn't have anything to do with me, does it?
[09:19] Kuroda
Do I look bored enough to
actually go along with that joke?
[09:25] Nagi
You sure do! Anyone would think that
when you're just wandering around here.
[09:32] Kuroda
So what sort of condition do you have?
[09:35] Kuroda
You don't exactly look sick...
[09:39] Nagi
To be honest, it's a pain in the ass...
[09:42] Nagi
They're not sure what's causing it.
[09:45] Nagi
My body just starts hurting out of nowhere.
[09:48] Kuroda
It starts hurting? Like how?
[09:53] Nagi
So much that I can't put it into words.
[09:59] Nagi
Well, I can't really explain it, but
the doctors say it's just growing pains.
[10:07] Kuroda
Growing pains?
[10:11] Nagi
Hey, don't look so grim.
[10:15] Kuroda
S-Sorry.

Periodic report regarding my mission.
[11:06] Kuroda
First, regarding the investigation
of Teratsuki Kyouichirou,
[11:10] Kuroda
I could not confirm any acts of disloyalty
against the Towa Organization.
[11:14] Kuroda
The only thing that caught my eye
[11:16] Kuroda
were his investments in
a certain medical facility,
[11:19] Kuroda
but this provided no proof that he would
pose harm to the Towa Organization,
[11:22] Kuroda
so I've concluded that
this was of no concern.
[11:25] Kuroda
Next, regarding my primary mission
to track down any MPLS...

[11:50] Kuroda
I'm a detective that Kirima-san summoned.
[11:54] Nagi
Naoko, I know him.
[11:58] Nagi
Did you find something out, Mr. Detective?
[12:01] Kuroda
Indeed. To think the unfortunate
little girl happened to a billionaire.
[12:07] Naoko
A detective? What?
[12:09] Naoko
You investigated Nagi?
[12:13] Kuroda
She was the one who told me to.
[12:16] Kuroda
Kirima Nagi.
[12:17] Kuroda
The only daughter of the writer who suddenly
died four years ago, Kirima Seiichi,
[12:22] Kuroda
who happened to inherit the
rights to all of his works.
[12:25] Kuroda
Naturally, inheriting those rights
came with never-ending troubles.
[12:31] Nagi
Wow... I'm surprised you found all this out.
[12:35] Kuroda
I thought you might actually be faking
your illness so you could hide.
[12:39] Kuroda
Unfortunately, that doesn't
seem to be the case.
[12:42] Nagi
Why's that unfortunate?
[12:44] Kuroda
Wouldn't you prefer not to be sick?
[12:47] Naoko
Yeah! You need to hurry up and get better.
[12:50] Naoko
I don't wanna end up being another
grade ahead of you in school.
[12:58] Naoko
Well, I'm gonna head home.
[13:01] Kuroda
I guess I should head out, too.
[13:03] Nagi
Could you stay a little
longer, Mr. Detective?
[13:08] Nagi
So... Why'd you do it?
[13:12] Kuroda
What's this about?
[13:13] Nagi
Don't play dumb with me!
[13:15] Nagi
You found out my agent was embezzling money
from me and got him fired, didn't you?
[13:19] Kuroda
Well... I asked him a few questions...
[13:23] Nagi
Were you trying to win me over?
[13:27] Kuroda
What good would that do?
[13:36] Nagi
I don't understand.
[13:38] Kuroda
Understand what?
[13:40] Nagi
Even if I were to be cured one day,
what kind of person should I become?
[13:46] Nagi
Nothing sounds right.
[13:50] Kuroda
I'm not sure if it ever
sounds right to anyone.
[13:54] Nagi
What about you?
[13:55] Kuroda
I dunno... Detective work
is a dirty business.
[14:01] Nagi
I see.
[14:03] Nagi
Hey... Did you ever want to be
anything other than a detective?
[14:09] Kuroda
Let's see...
[14:11] Kuroda
Maybe a superhero.
[14:13] Kuroda
A superhero who gets to solve crimes
without dealing with any other kind of crap.
[14:18] Kuroda
I guess I'd like to be something like that.
[14:22] Nagi
Then you should! I'm sure you could do it!
[14:24] Nagi
I'll even sponsor you!
[14:28] Kuroda
Come on, now. You shouldn't say
things like that so carelessly.
[14:31] Kuroda
Someone will take advantage of you.

I wouldn't mind if it was you, Kuroda-san.

I'm wearing this because I'm a scarecrow.
[18:51] Kuroda

[18:55] Boogiepop
Then why are you so mad?
[19:00] Kuroda
I tried to save a girl...
[19:04] Kuroda
With a drug that I risked my life to obtain.
[19:08] Boogiepop
Did she not make it?
[19:11] Kuroda
I'm not sure, to be honest.
[19:13] Kuroda
But if it did work, she should be able to
go back to being a normal human being.
[19:18] Boogiepop
That's a good thing, then.
[19:21] Kuroda
But you see... in my final moments,
[19:26] Kuroda
I'm having some regrets.
[19:30] Kuroda
I feel like I've done something
incredibly stupid.
[19:33] Kuroda
This is far from being a superhero.
[19:39] Kuroda
Even though she said I could become one...
[19:44] Kuroda
I need to be judged and
punished for what I've done.
[19:50] Kuroda
But I'll die any minute now...
stuck in this half-assed situation...
[19:56] Boogiepop
Would you like me to judge you?
[20:00] Boogiepop
I wonder if you'll be able to
become a superhero if I judge you.
[20:05] Boogiepop
Would you be able to cast your
regret aside and return again?
[20:12] Boogiepop
Return to the moment when your
heart was at its most beautiful?
[20:20] Kuroda
What... are you?
[20:24] Boogiepop
You called me a reaper, didn't you?
[20:28] Kuroda
Actually, you're probably just a delusion.
[20:32] Kuroda
You're like a bubble that will pop
and disappear at any moment...
[20:36] Kuroda

[20:40] Kuroda
You're pretty creepy, though.
[20:43] Boogiepop

[21:03] Boogiepop

[21:13] Kuroda
Through their endless research,
the Towa Organization
[21:17] Kuroda
was able to create countless
synthetic humans.
[21:20] Kuroda
But the basis of the research
remained top secret.
[21:26] Kuroda
Therefore, there will be more
people who will suspect
[21:32] Kuroda
that the source was something
that had out-evolved mankind.
[21:38] Kuroda
But I have my apprehensions.
[21:43] Mo
There it is.
[21:45] Kuroda
If that source was not from the future,
[21:50] Kuroda
and just happened to be an
individual, freak mutation,
[21:53] Kuroda
wouldn't that make what we're
doing a ridiculous farce?
[22:01] Mo
But I wonder...
[22:04] Mo
How was he able to die with
that expression on his face?

I'll kill you... I'll kill you...

[01:55] Makiko
So you can't shake the feeling that everyone
is saying horrible things about you.
[02:00] Makiko
Do you feel like someone's following you?
[02:03] Guy
Do you think I'm lying?
[02:06] Makiko
No, I haven't determined anything yet.
[02:10] Guy
Doctor, will you hear me out?
[02:12] Makiko
Of course.
[02:14] Guy
I've come to realize that there is
a terrifying evil living in our world.
[02:20] Guy
Because they know that
I'm aware of their existence,
[02:24] Guy
they've been spreading horrible things
to those around me so I look like a liar.
[02:30] Guy
It's a terrible thing.
[02:33] Makiko
And how did you come to this realization?
[02:36] Guy
Well, I mean, he tells me
that he's going to harass me
[02:39] Guy
all the time through the TV and radio.
[02:43] Makiko
I see.
[02:44] Makiko
That must be quite the ordeal.
[02:46] Guy
It really is.
[02:54] Makiko
Long time no see.
[02:56] Nagi
Oh, Dr. Kisugi.
[03:02] Makiko
You seem like you're doing better.
[03:04] Nagi
And you haven't changed, Doctor.
[03:06] Makiko
Thank you.
[03:09] Makiko
But, truly...
[03:10] Makiko
I'm going to be frank. I still have
no idea how you were cured.
[03:17] Nagi
You still think it was all in my head, right?
[03:21] Makiko
I do, if I'm being perfectly honest.
[03:24] Nagi
I'm actually starting to think the same now.
[03:29] Makiko
Do you have any idea what may have cured it?
[03:30] Nagi
Oh, well, I met someone.
[03:34] Nagi
After that, I felt like a weight
had been lifted off my shoulders.
[03:38] Nagi
I'm wondering if that's
what actually cured me.
[03:45] Makiko
I-I see. So what are they like?
[03:48] Makiko
Is it a guy?
[03:49] Nagi
He was weird. I never saw
him again after that, though.
[03:54] Nagi
I've been looking for him, but I don't
think I'm going to find him.
[03:58] Nagi
It's just a hunch, but...
[04:00] Makiko
Maybe it was love.
[04:03] Makiko
Am I wrong?
[04:05] Nagi
Who knows? I'm not really sure myself.
[04:08] Nagi
I wonder what my dad would say about this.
[04:11] Makiko
He'd probably tell you that
first love bears no fruit.
[04:13] Makiko
You should forget about him.
[04:16] Nagi
Yeah... You're probably right, but...
[04:21] Nagi
Hey, Dr. Kisugi... Why did you
decide to become a psychiatrist?
[04:25] Makiko
Huh?
[04:27] Nagi
I have no idea what I want
to do with my future.
[04:31] Nagi
Why'd you choose this career?
[04:34] Makiko
Well... Maybe it's because I'm a coward.
[04:39] Nagi
What do you mean by that?
[04:41] Makiko
Analysis of the mind involves
deconstructing indescribable fear.
[04:49] Makiko
I've been a huge coward
ever since I was a child,
[04:53] Makiko
so I always wondered why I felt
like that. Why does fear exist?
[04:59] Makiko
After pursuing that for years,
I eventually ended up here.
[05:05] Nagi
Then, if—
[05:07] Announcer
Kirima Nagi-san, please come to window three.
[05:12] Announcer
Kirima Nagi-san, please come to window three.
[05:12] Nagi
Damn, they're calling me.
[05:14] Nagi
Well, see ya, Doc.
[05:16] Makiko
Right. See you later, Nagi-chan.
[05:22] Makiko
As I figured, she hasn't realized a thing.
[05:37] Makiko
Everything began at that moment.
[05:41] Makiko
Right after that, Kirima Nagi,
who had an incurable illness,
[05:44] Makiko
made a miraculous recovery.
[05:49] Makiko
Since then, in my experiments,
[05:51] Makiko
the rats gained regenerative abilities
that basically made them invincible.
(Flashback) [06:02] Makiko
I knew it. This can only be called evolution.
(Flashback) [06:07] Makiko
I wonder what would happen if I injected
this into one of my patients...
(Flashback) [06:13] Makiko
Yeah, right. That'd never be possible.
[06:18] Makiko
But on the other hand...
[06:43] Guy
We have breaking news regarding
the current string of murders.
SIGN High school girl (16) found dead under suspicious
circumstances at Hinoki Secondary Park
SIGN A man jogging through the park discovered the body of a high school girl (16) from the city
[06:45] Guy
The body of a teenage girl, who is believed
[06:48] Guy
to be another victim,
was discovered last night.
[06:51] Guy
Due to the excessive damage to the body,
such as the mandible being pried open,
[06:55] Guy
the police are investigating this as a part
of the same serial murders where corpses
[06:59] Guy
have been left in random
locations since three months ago.
SIGN Breaking News: A new victim in the string of grisly murders
Another high school girl has fallen victim
[07:02] MC
This is now the fifth victim.
[07:05] MC
Just like the previous victims,
her mandible was pried open,
[07:08] MC
and her brain was sucked out.
[07:11] Guy A
Yes, the killer may hold some
extreme superstitions
[07:14] Guy A
when it comes to the brain.
[07:16] MC
Could you explain further?
[07:17] Guy A
They're taking apart the
skull with extreme care.
[07:21] Guy A
It could be that they're attempting
some ritual, or even a curse.
[07:27] Intern
What is it?
[07:28] Makiko
Oh, nothing. I just thought
he looked good on TV.
[07:33] Intern
I bet they love him for TV spots
because he's attractive.
[07:36] Intern
What do you think about
this case, Dr. Kisugi?
[07:41] Makiko
Specialists shouldn't involve
themselves in such extreme cases.
[07:46] Makiko
That's what the director would say.
SIGN Breaking News: A new victim in the string of grisly murders
Another high school girl has fallen victim
[07:50] Intern
Superstitions involving the human brain...
[07:54] Intern
But if they're able to take apart a skull,
they must be extremely knowledgeable.
[07:59] Intern
Maybe it is some maniac.
[08:02] Intern
Maybe it's the autopsy itself they're after...
[08:04] Intern
Like, they get pleasure from
just taking apart the skull.
[08:08] Intern
What do you think?
[08:10] Makiko
No idea.
[08:11] Intern
But if the killer turns out to
be someone in the medical field,
[08:14] Intern
it'll cause a huge problem.
[08:18] Makiko
It'll be like jumping into a snake's nest.
[08:21] Intern
Wh-What?
[08:25] Intern
You mean "a hornet nest," don't you?
[08:28] Makiko
Was that how that saying went?
[08:29] Intern
Y-Yes. I'm pretty sure it is.
[08:32] Makiko
You must not like snakes.
[08:34] Intern
N-No, that's not it.
[08:38] Makiko
Do you have some trauma involving snakes?
[08:39] Intern
N-No. It's just that they're creepy...
[08:44] Makiko
According to some theories, snakes
are a metaphor for male genitalia.
[08:49] Makiko
Was that Freud?
[08:50] Intern
A-Again, that's not it! It's not like I...
[08:55] Makiko
Are you all right? You look a bit pale.
[08:58] Intern
I-I'm fine.
[09:01] Intern
I think I might be a little tired...
[09:10] Makiko
This sweetness isn't worth it.
[09:13] Makiko
It just won't taste right,
no matter how much I scare him.
[09:16] Makiko
I guess men just lack depth.
(Flashback) [09:20] Girl A
Someone... Someone, please save me!
(Flashback) [09:22] Girl B
Save me!
(Flashback) [09:23] Girl C
This must be a dream! It has to be!
[09:26] Makiko
Well, I can't blame you for being tired.
[09:29] Makiko
A lot's been happening recently... like that
veteran nurse suddenly getting fired.
[09:34] Intern
You mean the stuff with the director?
[09:36] Intern
Yeah, he seems to be a bit crazy lately.
Things have been really chaotic.
[09:40] Makiko
Maybe someone has something on him...
[09:45] Makiko
This isn't enough.
[09:47] Makiko
Not enough, not enough,
not enough, not enough,
[09:51] Makiko
not enough, not enough, not enough,
not enough, not enough...
[10:01] Makiko
Shinokita-san, how are you feeling tonight?
[10:06] Makiko
Did someone come to visit you?
[10:09] Makiko
Oh, just as I thought...
[10:11] Makiko
No one's come to see you at all.
[10:14] Makiko
Apparently that kind nurse who
was taking care of you quit.
[10:24] Makiko
Are you lonely, Shinokita-san?
[10:27] Makiko
You worked yourself to
the bone for your family,
[10:30] Makiko
but your wife divorced you,
and your company demoted you.
[10:33] Makiko
On top of that, all those years of drinking
wrecked your internal organs.
[10:37] Makiko
Your company approved your sick leave for
now, but I wonder how long that'll last.
[10:43] Makiko
How are you going to pay your hospital
bills once your disability runs out?
[10:50] Makiko
You might've been cured
if I'd given you that drug...
[10:55] Makiko
Look at me!
[10:56] Makiko
I've taken it a bit too far lately,
[10:59] Makiko
so for now, I have to settle
for messing with you.
[11:02] Makiko
Yes, more! Fear me more,
from the bottom of your heart!
[11:11] Makiko
Well? Amazing, isn't it?
[11:13] Makiko
I can even do this!
[11:16] Makiko
It's all thanks to that drug.
[11:21] Makiko
I'm just kidding. It's a magic trick.
[11:23] Makiko
A simple little magic trick.
[11:39] Makiko
Oh, dear... Again?
[11:42] Makiko
Watch yourself, Shinokita-san.
[11:45] Makiko
If you go crazy, you'll end up in my ward.
[11:49] Makiko
When that happens, I'm going to
have even more fun with you.
[11:58] Makiko
Not enough. This isn't enough.
[12:01] Makiko
I need more, more, more, more, more, more,
more, more, more, more, more, more, more!
[12:02] Girl
Help me...
[12:03] Girl
Help me... Please...
[12:06] Girl
Please...
[12:10] Makiko
Something much more powerfully destructive.
I need that kind of absolute fear!
[12:20] Makiko
As I thought, women's fear
tastes better than men's.
[12:23] Makiko
And the stronger-willed they are, the better.
[12:26] Girl
But...
[12:27] Suema
But you're both partially
to blame, aren't you?
[12:31] Girl
He's a college student, though...
[12:33] Suema
That doesn't matter.
[12:35] Suema
Let's go talk to him in person.
[12:37] Makiko
And, yes... The younger they are,
the more fearless they are.
[12:46] Makiko
If I could have her...
[12:47] Suema
It'll be fine.

regarding the recent serial murders.
[12:58] Mom
My, how scary. I can't believe
they're just targeting girls...
[12:59] Caster
The DNA from the victim's body that was
found the other day at Hinoki Secondary Park
[13:01] Mom
You need to be careful, too, Makiko-san.
[13:04] Caster
has matched that of a teenager
girl who had gone missing nearby.
[13:05] Makiko
I know.
[13:07] Makiko
But it would seem...
SIGN High School Girl's Body Found in Park
SIGN Very Rare and Macabre Incidents
[13:09] Makiko
I left a very elaborate clue.
[13:12] Makiko
At this rate, they're
definitely going to catch me.
[13:16] Makiko
I need to find someone to frame
before killing that other girl.
[13:22] Makiko
Otherwise, I'll eventually catch the
eye of whoever produced this drug.
[13:27] Makiko
But the fact that they were able to
hide their creation of something
[13:31] Makiko
like this means that they're
a huge organization.
[13:34] Makiko
Right now, I could probably
take advantage of them...
[13:38] Makiko
As long as I can find their weakness.
[13:43] Makiko
Oh? Are you frightened of me?
[13:47] Makiko
Yes... Individuals gather together.
[13:50] Makiko
They become a single community, which
will eventually end up with a weakness.
[13:55] Makiko
And that still applies even at
the level of a whole country.
[14:02] Makiko
I wonder what a whole nation
writhing in fear would taste like...
[14:10] Makiko
Well? Have there been any changes?
[14:13] Guy
You've been kind to me, so I just
wanted to let you know...
[14:17] Guy
The world is going to end soon.
[14:20] Makiko
Oh, dear. That's awful.
[14:22] Guy
Yes, it really is awful.
[14:25] Guy
Remember that terrifying
evil I mentioned before?
[14:28] Guy
They're finally putting
their plan into action.
[14:31] Makiko
I see. That is a problem.
[14:34] Makiko
Can't we ask them to stop?
[14:36] Guy
We cannot.
[14:38] Makiko
Then what should we do?
[14:39] Guy
There's nothing we can do.
[14:41] Guy
All we can do is give up and be wiped out,
[14:45] Guy
while writhing in fear.
[14:48] Makiko
Are you frightened?
[14:53] Guy
It should be very scary.
[14:56] Makiko
That sounds rough.

It really is.

But Miyashita-san, dissociative identity
disorder can't be diagnosed so easily—

But it's true!

I was almost killed by the strange

Mom...

You be quiet!
[15:26] Makiko
I'm not sure what happened, but may
I talk to your daughter in private?
[15:34] Touka
She's been like that for a while.
[15:37] Makiko
Is that because you have DID?
[15:40] Touka
Apparently...
[15:42] Touka
I don't really understand it, though...
[15:45] Makiko
So you aren't aware of this yourself.
[15:47] Touka
Right...
[15:48] Makiko
By the way, do you get along
well with your mom and dad?
[15:52] Touka
N-No... I...
[15:55] Makiko
I don't think that's the only reason,
[15:58] Makiko
but problems like that can
lead to behavior like this.
[16:04] Makiko
Well, I guess there isn't much I can say.
[16:08] Makiko
Why don't we test this out?
[16:11] Touka
What do you mean?
[16:12] Makiko
Try acting out this supposed
other personality.
[16:18] Touka
What?
[16:19] Makiko
Your mother said it was a strange man.
[16:22] Makiko
Try imagining yourself as someone like that.
[16:25] Touka
I-I'm not sure how...
[16:28] Makiko
It's a form of hypnotherapy.
[16:31] Makiko
If you truly have DID,
[16:34] Makiko
the other personality may
emerge while you're acting.
[16:37] Touka
I-Is that how it works?
[16:39] Makiko
Go on, talk like a man.
[16:43] Touka
O-Okay... I mean... Y-You got it.
[16:47] Makiko
Yes, exactly like that.
Relax and keep trying.
[16:51] Touka
Okay...
[16:52] Makiko
So, what kind of man are you?
[16:56] Touka
Um...
[16:58] Makiko
She said you were strange,
so you must be quite the oddball.
[17:03] Touka
A man or a woman... You can think
of me as whichever you prefer.
[17:07] Makiko
Oh, so your gender is
ambiguous? That's different.
[17:12] Makiko
So, why exactly are you inside Touka-chan?
[17:16] Boogiepop
I'm actually not sure yet.
[17:19] Makiko
You're not?
[17:21] Boogiepop
I feel bad for burdening the Miyashita family,
[17:25] Boogiepop
but there isn't much I can do about that.
[17:29] Boogiepop
But I do know my mission.
[17:33] Makiko
Oh? So you have something you have to do?
[17:35] Boogiepop
I have to avert the threats to this world.
[17:40] Makiko
Threats to this world?
[17:42] Boogiepop
An enemy to this world has appeared near me.
[17:45] Boogiepop
If nothing is done,
the world will be destroyed.
[17:48] Makiko
That's quite the scale you're working on.
[17:51] Boogiepop
I wouldn't say that.
[17:53] Boogiepop
Threats to the world can be found anywhere.
[17:58] Makiko
Really? Then I guess they aren't that scary.
[18:02] Boogiepop
Of course they aren't... to you.
[18:07] Makiko
What do you mean by that?
[18:10] Boogiepop
Because you are an enemy to the world.
[18:19] Makiko
Her weakness... is gone?
[18:23] Makiko
An enemy, you say?
[18:26] Boogiepop
Yes, an enemy.
[18:30] Boogiepop
But it's not just you.
[18:33] Boogiepop
Every human has the potential to
become an enemy of this world.
[18:41] Boogiepop
Humans are like fuses. They can
go off at the slightest provocation.
[18:48] Boogiepop
They can shake the world's foundation without
a second thought for the consequences.
[18:54] Boogiepop
I suppose I could be described as a
natural predator to someone like that.
[19:00] Makiko
You said all humans, but I believe
most people are normal.
[19:04] Boogiepop
It's because they're normal
that they turn out like that.
[19:08] Makiko
What do you mean?
[19:10] Boogiepop
Say you were to encounter
something truly unique.
[19:14] Boogiepop
If you have a strong sense of self,
you can deal with it calmly.
[19:19] Boogiepop
But if you're too normal, you'll be
swallowed up by the waves and swept away.
[19:26] Boogiepop
It's that kind of rampage
that's the most dangerous.
[19:30] Makiko
Is that a form of normalcy bias?
[19:34] Boogiepop
Who knows?
[19:35] Boogiepop
It's just that those who are content
with being normal have no resistance.
[19:41] Boogiepop
And the world isn't as stable
as they'd like to think it is.
[19:49] Boogiepop
Disaster could strike at any time.
[19:51] Boogiepop
Yes, people who wish to knock down those
walls have no shortage of chances.
[20:01] Boogiepop
This is a lovely song. It's very beautiful.
[20:04] Makiko
Yes. There's nothing wasted.
[20:08] Makiko
And it contains no trace of fear.
[20:11] Boogiepop
What do you mean?
[20:13] Makiko
There's too much fear in this world.
[20:16] Makiko
Enough to frustrate me.
[20:18] Makiko
How wonderful it would be if all the fear
were to disappear from this world.
[20:22] Boogiepop
I see... So that's your tendency.
[20:26] Makiko
Does that still make me
an enemy to this world?
[20:30] Boogiepop
Everything has multiple sides.
[20:33] Boogiepop
And of course, they all have
different interpretations.
[20:38] Boogiepop
For example, if everything died,
then there would be no more fear.
[20:44] Makiko
I see.
[20:46] Makiko
Then what would you do if you
ever came across this enemy?
[20:51] Boogiepop
I would kill them.
[20:53] Makiko
That's a terrifying thing to say.
[20:55] Boogiepop
What choice do I have?
Apparently, that's what I am.
[20:59] Makiko
So you would show no mercy?
[21:02] Boogiepop
Correct. And those who become my
enemies wouldn't want that from me.
[21:09] Makiko
Like a proper duel, then?
[21:13] Boogiepop
Don't you agree?
[21:16] Makiko
What if... I happened to
kill this girl here and now?
[21:22] Makiko
If I just killed everyone in
the hospital as I desired...
[21:27] Mom
H-How'd it go?
[21:29] Makiko
It's hard to say right now.
[21:32] Makiko
I'll need to reevaluate the situation
once things have calmed down.
[21:36] Mom
I see...
[21:38] Makiko
Yes. Now is not the time.
[21:41] Makiko
Touka-chan.
[21:43] Makiko
You shouldn't dwell on this too much, either.
[21:47] Touka
Yes, ma'am.
[21:49] Makiko
See you later.
[21:50] Touka
Okay.
[21:51] Touka
Thank you very much.
[22:00] Makiko
When I die, I'd like to be sent
off with a song like this.
[22:05] Makiko
Nothing depressing like a requiem.

SIGN Solitude can be your greatest gift
[02:39] Seiichi
"Solitude can be your greatest gift.
[02:43] Seiichi
The more alone you are,
[02:46] Seiichi
the greater your ability to connect
with a large number of people."
[02:51] Kyou
"After that, I thought about
gradually showing the world
[02:54] Kyou
the ability that I had
kept hidden for so long.
[02:58] Kyou
But it appears that the world is going
to dispose of me as an outsider.
[03:05] Kyou
I've started to notice strange
people gathering around me.
[03:08] Kyou
I'm sure they're assassins
sent by my observer.
[03:12] Kyou
I figured this would happen,
[03:14] Kyou
but I had become an enemy
of modern society.
SIGN I had become an enemy of modern society.
[03:19] Kyou
That's why I wanted to thank
you while I still can."
(Flashback) [03:23] Seiichi
An enemy to modern society?
(Flashback) [03:30] Seiichi
Gen, are you free right now?
[03:33] Gen
Sure. What's up? Are you
researching something again?
(Flashback) [03:38] Gen
Actually... This is sort of special.
(Flashback) [03:45] Gen
Seiichi, I'll start by saying
that he is actually dead.
SIGN Kirima Seiichi
(Flashback) [03:51] Gen
He died a month ago. The day
after the stamp on this letter.
(Flashback) [03:56] Seiichi
The next day?
(Flashback) [03:57] Gen
Yeah, and on top of that, he was missing
three days prior to sending out this letter.
(Flashback) [04:02] Seiichi
Missing? So he really was up to something?
(Flashback) [04:07] Gen
About that...
(Flashback) [04:09] Seiichi
What is it?
(Flashback) [04:10] Gen
Well, it might not actually be anything...
SIGN Kirima Seiichi
(Flashback) [04:15] Seiichi
What is it already?
(Flashback) [04:17] Gen
He ended up raising the grades
of those around him.
(Flashback) [04:21] Gen
But it's not like he was
tutoring them, either.
(Flashback) [04:26] Gen
They mentioned that he gave
them a word or two of advice,
(Flashback) [04:29] Gen
or he patted them on the head,
(Flashback) [04:31] Gen
and that's all.
(Flashback) [04:33] Gen
And not just at school.
(Flashback) [04:34] Gen
A guy in a band said he was suddenly
able to write extremely unique songs...
(Flashback) [04:39] Gen
There are a lot of stories along those lines.
(Flashback) [04:42] Seiichi
So in other words... Like, if it were me,
I'd be able to write better novels?
(Flashback) [04:48] Gen
Exactly.
(Flashback) [04:50] Gen
Apparently he had the ability
to... How do I put this?
(Flashback) [04:54] Gen
The ability to break through
whatever was holding them back.
(Flashback) [04:58] Seiichi
That's unbelievable... It's like
he was able to cause miracles, then.
(Flashback) [05:04] Gen
I wouldn't say "like"...
(Flashback) [05:06] Gen
This is just a hunch... but I think
this kid was the real deal.
(Flashback) [05:09] Seiichi
How did he die?
(Flashback) [05:11] Gen
Apparently, he slipped down
some stairs and hit his head.
(Flashback) [05:15] Gen
But there were no witnesses.
(Flashback) [05:16] Seiichi
So after being missing for three days,
he fell down some stairs and died...
(Flashback) [05:21] Seiichi
That's what you're saying?
(Flashback) [05:22] Gen
You'd think that'd cause a huge fuss, right?

(Flashback) [05:27] Gen
His family quickly moved away soon
after and disappeared into thin air.
(Flashback) [05:32] Seiichi
So there aren't any clues?
(Flashback) [05:34] Gen
Yeah, that's the problem.
(Flashback) [05:36] Gen
Look, Seiichi, this is bad news.
(Flashback) [05:40] Gen
If you get mixed up in all of this,
who knows what could happen?
[05:47] Seiichi
A boy who could perform miracles
was an enemy to modern society?
SIGN ...the ability that I had kept hidden...
[05:51] Seiichi
Showing the world the ability
that he had kept hidden...
SIGN You gave me strength. I have the courage to take a step forward now.
SIGN ...I'd been holding back all this time...
SIGN ...because of your books...
(Flashback) [06:06] Seiichi
What's going on?
(Flashback) [06:10] Nagi
Is something wrong, Dad?
(Flashback) [06:12] Seiichi
N-No, everything's fine...
(Flashback) [06:17] Seiichi
What?
(Flashback) [06:18] Nagi
Like I said, Mom wants to see you.
(Flashback) [06:21] Seiichi
But why?
(Flashback) [06:22] Nagi
Who knows?
(Flashback) [06:24] Nagi
She's getting remarried, so she wanted
to see you before that, she said.
(Flashback) [06:27] Seiichi
B-But...
(Flashback) [06:29] Nagi
If you don't want to see her,
I'll just tell her that.
(Flashback) [06:33] Seiichi
A-All right. Tell her I'll see her.
(Flashback) [06:38] Seiichi
What's the matter?
(Flashback) [06:40] Nagi
Nothing.
(Flashback) [06:41] Seiichi
What? Now I'm curious.
(Flashback) [06:44] Nagi
The guy Mom's marrying is super rich.
(Flashback) [06:48] Seiichi
And?
(Flashback) [06:50] Nagi
And apparently it wouldn't be a huge deal
to add another kid or two to the family.
(Flashback) [06:56] Seiichi
So, how do you feel about that?
(Flashback) [07:01] Nagi
Oh, come on. Don't look
like you're about to cry.
(Flashback) [07:04] Nagi
I'll stay with you.
(Flashback) [07:06] Seiichi
Hey... Were you just teasing me?
(Flashback) [07:08] Nagi
Yeah. Big time.
(Flashback) [07:13] Seiichi
Man... You're way more responsible than I am.
(Flashback) [07:18] Seiichi
Thinking back to when I was in grade
school, I wasn't like you at all.
(Flashback) [07:21] Nagi
Well, duh. Of course we kids who are born
after your generation are gonna be smarter.
(Flashback) [07:28] Seiichi
Is that how it works?
(Flashback) [07:29] Nagi
It's called evolution. We evolved.
(Flashback) [07:32] Seiichi
Evolution, huh? Well, aren't
you all high and mighty?

Then again, I guess they say,

SIGN Missing Boy's Body Discovered
[07:59] Seiichi
Modern society is fighting to keep
the future from happening.
[08:04] Seiichi
This is a race for survival.
[08:07] Seiichi
It's probably only a matter of time
before this observer tracks me down.
[08:14] Suiko
You're going to die soon.
SIGN Kiri
[08:17] Seiichi
I know.
[08:19] Suiko
You know, and you're fine with that?
[08:22] Seiichi
There are some things you just can't control.
[08:25] Suiko
What were you looking at?
[08:27] Seiichi
Birds.
[08:28] Suiko
Birds?
[08:30] Seiichi
Do you know why birds fly in the sky?
[08:34] Suiko
Because they have wings, right?
[08:37] Seiichi
Because there aren't many
other things that fly.
[08:41] Seiichi
There's nothing else that can fly
through the skies as freely as birds.
[08:44] Seiichi
That's why they fly.
[08:46] Suiko
What do you mean?
[08:48] Seiichi
If you have nothing competing
with you, you can keep surviving.
[08:51] Seiichi
That's how the birds survived for centuries.
[08:56] Suiko
But even birds fall out of the sky sometimes.
[09:00] Seiichi
And sometimes it snows in April.
[09:04] Seiichi
Danger and the unexpected affect
all living creatures equally.
[09:09] Seiichi
What's important is how
you live through them.
[09:13] Suiko
Humans, too?
[09:16] Seiichi
Humans, and things beyond humans, too.
[09:20] Seiichi
There are those who are just a little bit
different from the humans before them...
[09:24] Seiichi
And they have to face the same struggle, too.
[09:27] Seiichi
Though everyone deals with
that struggle differently.
[09:30] Suiko
Are you someone important, mister?
[09:32] Seiichi
Indeed, I am. I'm a humble writer,
but I happen to be a huge deal.
[09:38] Seiichi
I'm public enemy number one.
[09:41] Suiko
Enemy?
[09:43] Seiichi
People who are too new to this world
and are forced to become the enemy
[09:48] Seiichi
seem to be really moved
after reading my books.
[09:52] Seiichi
You could call me their leader.
[09:56] Seiichi
Then again, all I can do is
give them a bit of a push.
[10:03] Seiichi
I don't believe in the power
of words that much.
[10:07] Seiichi
I can't command or stop them.
[10:14] Suiko
But you're going to die.
[10:18] Seiichi
Apparently.
[10:20] Suiko
So things won't work out.
They'll end unfinished.
[10:26] Seiichi
And who gets to decide if
that's a failure or not?
[10:29] Seiichi
You can see people's deaths, can't you?
[10:32] Suiko
Yes.
[10:33] Seiichi
Do you think that bizarre talent is a curse?
[10:37] Suiko
I'm not sure.
[10:39] Seiichi
Yeah. No one truly understands that.
[10:43] Seiichi
If you were about to start something
and weren't able to finish it,
[10:49] Seiichi
no one gets to decide if
that's a failure or not.
[10:53] Seiichi
Even if it only looks like a bad thing,
[10:56] Seiichi
your will to try to do something,
or even just your earnest feelings...
[11:00] Seiichi
Things like that will always be
left behind within others.
[11:05] Seiichi
Someone after you might do what
you were trying to do even better.
[11:10] Suiko
Who?
[11:11] Seiichi
It might be someone who was your enemy or
someone who just happened to pass you by.
[11:18] Seiichi
No one knows, really.
[11:20] Seiichi
And then that gets transferred
to the next generation,
[11:23] Seiichi
and someone might eventually
make it to the center of the earth.
[11:29] Suiko
What about you, mister?
[11:32] Suiko
Do you believe someone
will continue after you?
[11:36] Seiichi
Who knows?
[11:38] Seiichi
Honestly, I just wanted
someone to read my novels.
[11:44] Suiko
What's your name, mister?
[11:47] Seiichi
Kirima Seiichi.
[11:49] Seiichi
And yours?
[11:51] Suiko
Minahoshi Suiko.
[12:08] Nagi
I'm home.
[12:12] Seiichi
Don't.
[12:14] Seiichi
If you kill my daughter, too,
this is going to become a huge deal...
[12:19] Seiichi
Is that what you want?
[12:23] Mo
Did you know that you
were going to be killed?
[12:29] Nagi
I ended up leaving school early today—
[12:38] Nagi
Dad!
[12:43] Seiichi
Nagi...
[12:44] Seiichi
What do you think "normal" is?
[12:56] Mo
Normal... huh?
[12:59] Pigeon
Did you say something?
[13:00] Mo
No.
[13:03] Mo
I was just thinking how cruel this was.
[13:05] Pigeon
This should be normal for you.
[13:08] Pigeon
I mean, you're a murderer yourself.
(Flashback) [13:15] Kyou
There's a bug inside you.
(Flashback) [13:18] Kyou
That bug will gradually grow bigger...
(Flashback) [13:22] Kyou
As it eats everything
that you try to forget.
(Flashback) [13:27] Kyou
That bug will eventually decide your fate.
[13:33] Kyou
And that will be the reason you die.
[13:38] Pigeon
So, you got any ideas, since
you're both murderers?
[13:43] Mo
No, none.
[13:44] Pigeon
I see. Well, this is your mission this time.
[13:48] Pigeon
Find out why the killer is killing people
this way and if need be, dispose of them.
[13:54] Mo
Understood.
[13:55] Mo
I'll be on my way, then.
[13:56] Pigeon
Where are you going to begin your search?
[13:58] Mo
First, I'll go to the crime scenes.
[14:01] Mo
I'll find out exactly how they were killed
and the murderer's possible motive.
[14:04] Pigeon
The police have already done all that.
[14:07] Mo
There must be a connection that
the police haven't caught on to yet.
[14:11] Mo
It's clear that this killer has a motive.
[14:15] Pigeon
I guess it takes one to know one.
[14:17] Pigeon
Gross.
[14:19] Mo
Pigeon-san, was it?
[14:21] Mo
You may want to reconsider wearing
your heart so visibly on your sleeve.
[14:27] Pigeon
You're the last person I want to
hear that from, you murderer.
[14:41] Mo
There are too many eyes here, and someone
would immediately hear any screams.
[14:47] Mo
Meaning the killer had the ability
[14:50] Mo
to finish off their victims quickly,
before they could even let out a sound.
[14:55] Mo
But the actual killing is too sloppy.
[14:58] Mo
No caution or calculation at all.
[15:04] Mo
I'm sure it was sheer luck
that they weren't found,
[15:07] Mo
but this is basically...
[15:08] Nagi
Some carnivore hunting its prey?
[15:12] Mo
Y-You're...
[15:16] Nagi
Why are you investigating this area, mister?
[15:20] Nagi
You a newspaper reporter?
[15:21] Mo
I'm not investigating...
[15:24] Nagi
If you're not investigating,
then what the hell are you doing?
[15:28] Nagi
Staring at the area like a hawk...
[15:32] Nagi
Checking how visible this spot is
from the buildings nearby...
[15:36] Mo
Were you watching me all this time?
[15:37] Nagi
Is that so bad?
[15:39] Mo
If I am indeed investigating something,
what does that have to do with you?
[15:43] Nagi
Don't get so pissy. I was just curious.
[15:47] Mo
I've seen your face before.
[15:50] Mo
In a tabloid, I believe, stating
you're the only daughter of
[15:53] Mo
a popular author who was killed.

Oh?
SIGN Daiichi Foods

[15:58] Mo
I was indeed investigating.
[16:00] Mo
I'm not sure why, but I felt like I could
understand what happened in this incident.
[16:05] Nagi
A normal salaryman like yourself?
[16:07] Mo
I find it creepy myself,
[16:10] Mo
but I feel like I have something in
common with the suspect in this case.
[16:16] Mo
Why are you interested in this case?
[16:18] Nagi
Because I'm bored.
[16:19] Mo
You're bored?
[16:21] Nagi
Say, Sasaki-san.
[16:23] Nagi
Wanna investigate this case together?
[16:26] Mo
Huh?
[16:26] Nagi
I have money, and you understand
how the killer feels.
[16:31] Mo
I think we'd make a perfect pair.
[16:35] Makiko
I knew that the system was
already on the move...
[16:39] Makiko
But what are you trying to do, Nagi-chan?
[16:43] Makiko
Do you want me to taste you?
[16:47] Makiko
You do look like you'd taste wonderful.
[16:53] Mo
This place is completely different from
the last. It looks ideal for a murder.
[16:57] Nagi
What the hell?
[16:59] Mo
What is it?
[17:01] Nagi
Hey, Sasaki-san, you can imagine
what the killer was thinking, right?
[17:05] Nagi
Do you feel anything?
[17:07] Mo
I can't say it's that easy...
[17:10] Nagi
Why would they do the same thing here
[17:12] Nagi
and at the spot earlier where
everyone could see them?
[17:15] Mo
I believe it's because it didn't matter
to them if anyone saw them or not.
[17:20] Nagi
So they didn't care if they caught
someone's eye, you mean.
[17:25] Nagi
What would you do in this case?
[17:27] Nagi
If you had the motive of
sucking out someone's brain...
[17:31] Nagi
Could you actually do it without
worrying about being seen?
[17:36] Mo
If it were me, I'd do it
after hiding the corpse.
[17:40] Mo
I'd be scared if someone saw me.
[17:42] Nagi
Scared, huh?
[17:44] Nagi
Does that mean the killer wasn't scared?
[17:48] Mo
You seem to lack that as well, Kirima-san.
[17:51] Nagi
Are you telling me I'm insensitive?
[17:53] Mo
I'm saying that you're fearless.
[17:56] Nagi
Fearless, huh?
[17:59] Nagi
Being scared of something? Fearing something?
[18:03] Mo
Looks like this won't work.
[18:05] Mo
We can't get by.
[18:07] Nagi
Have you ever hit on a girl, Sasaki-san?
[18:09] Mo
Huh?
[18:10] Nagi
Have you ever hit on a girl?
You know, picking up women.
[18:12] Mo
No... I haven't.
[18:15] Nagi
Then I guess this is going
to be your first time.
[18:20] Mo
Um... Hey.
[18:22] Rika
Y-Yes?
[18:23] Mo
Well, it's just... I thought you
might have known the victim...
[18:30] Mo
Oh, uh... I promise I'm not
anyone suspicious...
[18:37] Nagi
We're investigating this case.
[18:40] Nagi
Can we ask you some questions?
[18:45] Rika
Insurance investigators?
[18:47] Mo
I know it's hard to believe,
but she's actually 26.
[18:51] Nagi
Say, Rika-san, why did you try to run away?
[18:53] Mo
Well, I'm sure there are paparazzi
[18:55] Mo
looking for anyone who knew the victim.
[18:57] Rika
What were you two investigating?
[19:00] Mo
O-Oh, well, you see...
[19:02] Mo
We're trying to determine if
the victim was killed at random,
[19:05] Mo
or if someone had a deep-seated grudge...
[19:07] Rika
Grudge?! Shizue was—
[19:11] Nagi
What was Shizue-san like?
[19:14] Nagi
So no one would hold a grudge against her?
[19:16] Rika
No.
[19:17] Rika
She never did anything
to make anyone hate her.
[19:20] Rika
That's the truth.
[19:22] Mo
So she was a cheerful person?
[19:24] Rika
Yes. She was cheerful and
really strong deep down.
[19:27] Nagi
Strong deep down?
[19:29] Rika
She was very forward with her feelings...
[19:31] Rika
and determined, plus very outgoing.
[19:34] Rika
She'd never think twice about
walking alone in the dark.
[19:38] Rika
That's why this happened to her...
[19:41] Mo
She sounds a lot like you, Kirima-san.
[19:43] Nagi
Even I have things I'm afraid of.
[19:46] Nagi
But Shizue-san didn't, right?
[19:48] Rika
R-Right... It could just be that
I'm a pretty big coward myself...
[19:54] Nagi
I see.
[19:56] Rika
I've always been a coward,
ever since I was little.
[20:03] Nagi
Why does fear even exist?
[20:06] Rika
Huh?
[20:08] Mo
What's the matter?
[20:09] Rika
The person I met earlier
said something similar.
[20:11] ---
What do you mean?
(Flashback) [20:15] Makiko
It must've been terrifying.
(Flashback) [20:20] Makiko
Why does fear even exist?
(Flashback) [20:23] Makiko
If only fear didn't exist, she'd probably
still be alive and smiling today.
[20:29] Rika
She was really creepy... So when
you two called me over, I was...
[20:36] Nagi
I see... Got it.
[20:39] Mo
Is something wrong?
[20:40] Nagi
Sorry. I'll leave some money for the tab.
[20:45] Mo
Please wait!
[20:47] Mo
What's gotten into you?
[20:49] Nagi
You're no longer a suspect, Sasaki-san.
[20:52] Mo
Huh?
[20:52] Nagi
Sorry. I was suspicious of you, as well.
[20:56] Nagi
But now that's been settled.
[20:58] Nagi
So this is goodbye.
[21:00] Mo
Why do you no longer suspect me?
[21:03] Mo
I—
[21:04] Nagi
What you felt is just an impulse, Sasaki-san.
[21:06] Nagi
The bug inside you was
just squirming around a bit.
[21:10] Nagi
You're actually a kind person.
[21:13] Nagi
You'd never kill anyone on your own accord.
[21:17] Mo
We've only just met. What makes you say that?
[21:20] Nagi
Just a hunch.
[21:21] Nagi
When I told you to go talk to Rika-san
earlier, you were honestly flustered.
[21:27] Nagi
There was no lie there.
[21:30] Nagi
That's enough, isn't it?
[21:32] Nagi
See ya.
[21:36] Mo
Do you... Do you know who the killer is?
[21:43] Makiko
I gave you a hint... Now all
I have to do is wait.
[21:47] Makiko
You'll come, won't you, Nagi-chan?
[21:50] Makiko
With your extraordinary sense
of justice, I'm sure you will.
[21:54] Makiko
And prove to me...
[21:58] Makiko
that you have strength like a flame
[22:02] Makiko
that can burn through everything...

just squirming around a bit.
[00:56] Mo
Damn it!
[00:58] Seiichi
Humans do not possess a single, focused will.
[01:03] Seiichi
They just have countless bugs buzzing around
in all directions inside their hearts.
[01:09] Seiichi
It's fine when all these bugs are
headed toward the same meal as one,
[01:13] Seiichi
but when they split apart...

Oh...
[02:59] Guy
Nagi-chan. What brings you here?
[03:01] Guy
Visiting hours are over for the day.
[03:04] Nagi
Oh, well... I came to see Dr. Kisugi.
[03:08] Nagi
Could you call her for me?
[03:10] Guy
Yeah, sure.
[03:14] Guy
Hello, Dr. Kisugi?
[03:17] Guy
Nagi-chan is here and says
she'd like to see you.
[03:26] Guy
All right, yes. I understand.
[03:29] Guy
Thank you.
[03:31] Guy
Nagi-chan, you can go on in.
[03:33] Nagi
'Kay. Thanks.
SIGN Psychiatric Ward
[03:58] Mo
So that's Dr. Kisugi?
[04:26] Mo
What did she need in the psychiatric ward?
[05:02] Mo
A tranquilizer gun?
[05:13] Mo
So you were the killer?
[05:16] Pigeon
I always knew you were a murderer.
(Flashback) [05:21] Nagi
You're actually a kind person.
[05:25] Mo
Call me whatever you want.
[05:28] Pigeon
This is revenge for Scarecrow!
[05:38] Makiko
It's a pleasure to meet you, Mo Murder-san.
[05:41] Makiko
This is also goodbye.
[05:44] Nagi
Hey, I was told Dr. Kisugi
just went home...
[05:58] Nagi
S-Sasaki-san!
[06:02] Makiko
Hi, there. Sorry to keep
you waiting, Nagi-chan.
[06:11] Makiko
Are you trying to run away?
[06:13] Makiko
That's not what the look
on your face indicated.
[06:22] Kuroda
A scarecrow and a pigeon?
Not the best couple.
[06:25] Pigeon
It's crows that don't like
scarecrows, not pigeons.
(Flashback) [06:35] Makiko
I understand how you feel very well...
(Flashback) [06:40] Makiko
Pigeon-san the synthetic human.
(Flashback) [06:46] Makiko
Your organization's called
the Towa Organization, right?
(Flashback) [06:49] Makiko
I've heard all about you.
(Flashback) [06:52] Makiko
I heard that you were after my head.
My little minions told me so.
(Flashback) [06:57] Makiko
But I'd like to offer you a chance.
(Flashback) [07:02] Makiko
Attaining revenge and following
your love to the grave
(Flashback) [07:05] Makiko
is a very sweet and beautiful
thing, don't you think?
(Flashback) [07:10] Makiko
Don't you...
(Flashback) [07:11] Makiko
want to be human?
(Flashback) [07:15] Makiko
Someone once said that humans were
born for love and revolution.
[07:28] Pigeon
Scarecrow... You came for me...
[07:36] Pigeon
Do you think... I'll be able to go to Heaven?
[07:40] Boogiepop
No.
[07:42] Boogiepop
You'll be going to Hell.
[07:47] Pigeon
You're right... Just like you.
[07:59] Makiko
Nagi-chan.
[08:04] Makiko
Where are you going?
[08:27] Makiko
It's no use trying to go to the police.
[08:30] Makiko
Do you really think
anyone would believe this?
[08:38] Makiko
I knew it! You only left the hospital
because you didn't want to involve others!
[08:44] Makiko
That's wonderful, Nagi-chan!
[08:50] Nagi
As I figured, she's messing around with me.
[08:54] Nagi
What should I do?
[08:56] Nagi
I guess I just have to do this.
[09:03] Makiko
Not bad, Nagi-chan!
[09:05] Makiko
So you're trying to protect the
future of mankind all by yourself.
[09:09] Makiko
But...
[09:28] Makiko
This is terrific, Nagi-chan!
[09:30] Makiko
Keep up this pathetic squirming, please.
[09:40] Makiko
She definitely has an
unyielding fighting spirit...
[09:43] Makiko
But does she really think
that she can get away?
[09:59] Makiko
That little—
[10:00] Makiko
Playtime's over!
[10:08] Makiko
Fear me, damn it.
[10:12] Makiko
I'm telling you to fear me!
[10:14] Makiko
Scream! Pathetically beg for your life!
[10:17] Makiko
Panic, would you?!
[10:20] Nagi
I knew it. I figured that's
what all this was about.
[10:25] Nagi
The fact that the crime scenes
lacked any sort of consistency
[10:28] Nagi
bugged the hell out of me.
[10:30] Nagi
Despite repeatedly committing
these perverse murders,
[10:33] Nagi
the killer lacked any caution.
(Flashback) [10:37] Mo
If it were me, I'd do it
after hiding the corpse.
(Flashback) [10:40] Mo
I'd be scared if someone saw me.
[10:42] Nagi
That's just it. It wasn't the killer
who wasn't worried about being seen.
(Flashback) [10:46] Rika
She'd never think twice about
walking alone in the dark.
[10:50] Nagi
Those who fearlessly charged into places
where no one else was around were the victims,
[10:54] Nagi
and exactly the type of person
the killer was looking for.
(Flashback) [10:58] Makiko
I've been a huge coward
ever since I was a child,
(Flashback) [11:01] Makiko
so I always wondered why I felt
like that. Why does fear exist?
[11:07] Nagi
What the killer wanted was
the strength to be fearless.
[11:12] Nagi
That's your motive, isn't it, Dr. Kisugi?
[11:17] Nagi
Then Sasaki-san and I showed up.
[11:20] Nagi
Anyone who'd bother sticking their noses
into your murders was ideal prey.
[11:28] Makiko
Impressive, Nagi-chan.
But sadly, you fall short.
[11:33] Makiko
Oh, I guess I failed to mention
[11:36] Makiko
something about that Sasaki Masanori person.
[11:40] Makiko
He's not human.
[11:43] Makiko
He's basically like me.
[11:47] Makiko
His real name is Mo Murder.
[11:49] Makiko
He works for a certain system.
[11:52] Nagi
System?
[11:53] Makiko
And the order he received from
this system was to investigate me
[11:59] Makiko
and kill me if necessary.
[12:01] Makiko
Do you understand now?
[12:02] Nagi
What are you talking about?
[12:04] Makiko
To put it simply, that man
was actually an assassin.
[12:09] Makiko
I heard he's actually killed dozens of people.
[12:14] Makiko
I guess you really can't judge
people by their appearances.
[12:16] Makiko
Then again, he's not human to begin with.
[12:19] Makiko
Do you think I'm lying?
But sadly, it's all true.
[12:25] Makiko
It just means that you were
being used by the system.
[12:29] Makiko
And by me, who was taking advantage
of this whole situation.
[12:33] Makiko
Thanks to you getting all nosy,
I was able to take him down.
[12:39] Makiko
Thank you very much for your help.
[12:42] Makiko
I'm going to have Sasaki Masanori-san
take the fall as the killer for me.
[12:48] Nagi
Is that why you killed him?
[12:52] Makiko
I knew it.
[12:53] Makiko
Her weakness is having someone
she loves die before her.
[12:58] Makiko
Correct. I even set up all
kinds of evidence in his house
[13:03] Makiko
while you two were out looking for me.
[13:07] Makiko
But I guess at this point, another
murder or two won't do any harm.
[13:20] Makiko
My sweet little girl... You see yourself
as some kind of superhero, don't you?
[13:25] Makiko
But the truth is, that man was just using you!
[13:29] Makiko
Do you get it?
[13:35] Makiko
Listen to me. The thing you're
trying to protect is just a fantasy.
[13:44] Makiko
Wonderful! Wonderful, Nagi-chan!
[13:49] Makiko
Perfect! That's perfect! Fear me!
[13:53] Makiko
There's no human who is truly fearless!
[13:55] Makiko
There is only one absolute in this world...
[13:58] Makiko
And that's fear!
[14:03] Nagi
It's not that I'm fearless...
[14:05] Makiko
Huh? What was that?
[14:09] Nagi
It's just that I was worried.
[14:13] Makiko
Worried? Worried about what?
[14:16] Nagi
That I finally got this far...
but it'd somehow fail in the end...
[14:22] Makiko
Fail? What will fail?
[14:36] Nagi
This attack!
[14:49] Nagi
This is an insulated suit.
It's just what a superhero needs.
[15:10] Nagi
Hold it!
[15:11] Boogiepop
Well, this is quite the surprise.
[15:15] Boogiepop
I didn't expect you to escape
this danger on your own.
[15:20] Boogiepop
It took me a while to catch up with you,
but everything seems to have turned out okay.
[15:24] Nagi
Wh-Who are you?!
[15:26] Boogiepop
Leave the rest to me.
[15:46] ---
I'm scared...
[15:47] Boogiepop
Your quickly-evolved body lost its
balance due to the electrical shock,
[15:54] Boogiepop
and it's screaming.
[16:01] Makiko
So like a proper duel?
[16:05] Makiko
They're here...
[16:09] Makiko
It's them... I have to fight them.
[16:14] Makiko
I'm ready for you!
[16:16] Makiko
Come at me whenever you'd like!
[16:18] Boogiepop
Well, all right, then...
[16:24] Boogiepop
Fear Ghoul.
[16:27] Makiko
The one who consumes fear...
That must be my name...
(Flashback) [16:37] Kyou
I told you...
[16:40] Nagi
Sasaki-san! Hey!
[16:42] Nagi
Get it together! Sasaki-san!
[16:48] Mo
Thank goodness... You're alive...
[16:51] Nagi
Do you have any final words?
[16:55] Mo
I guess the bug isn't so bad...
[17:04] Nagi
The bug?
[17:05] Nagi
What do you think he meant by that?
[17:07] Boogiepop
Who knows? But he says it's not
so bad, so that's all that matters.
[17:14] Nagi
But...
[17:15] Boogiepop
Just leave him be.
[17:16] Boogiepop
I'm sure someone will
come to take care of him.
[17:21] Boogiepop
There's a powerful force behind all of this.
[17:26] Boogiepop
We're better off letting them handle it.
[17:31] Nagi
So Sasaki-san's going to end up the killer?
[17:34] Boogiepop
That's a better option than the world
finding out that the killer was a doctor.
[17:38] Boogiepop
The patients she treated would be
looked upon with suspicion, too.
[17:45] Boogiepop
I'm sure this Sasaki-san will
be happy to take the blame.
[17:50] Boogiepop
Anything for you.
[17:55] Nagi
What are you, anyway?
[17:57] Nagi
Why did you defeat Dr. Kisugi?
[18:00] Boogiepop
You're the one who defeated her.
[18:03] Nagi
I don't know.
[18:05] Nagi
I feel like I really messed up this case.
[18:10] Nagi
Nothing went the way I'd planned.
[18:14] Nagi
What went wrong?
[18:17] Boogiepop
Must be the bug.
[18:20] Boogiepop
The world is not always
moving in one direction.
[18:24] Boogiepop
Just like a swarm of bugs,
it moves in all directions.
[18:33] Boogiepop
Sometimes, they move in one unified motion,
[18:37] Boogiepop
and other times, like this incident,
it all falls apart and results in nothing.
[18:43] Boogiepop
That's all.
[18:45] Nagi
Then... what should I do from now on?
[18:53] Nagi
How can I stop this from happening again?
[18:57] Boogiepop
Do you plan on trying again?
[19:08] Nagi
You got a problem with that?
[19:11] Boogiepop
No.
[19:13] Boogiepop
But in that case, we'll probably keep
running into each other in the future.
[19:23] Nagi
Say, what do they call you, anyway?
[19:26] Boogiepop
Are you asking for my name?
[19:29] Nagi
What else would I be asking for?
[19:31] Boogiepop
Well, let's see...
[19:37] Boogiepop
Boogiepop... I think that's
what I'll call myself.
[19:44] Nagi
That's a weird name.
[19:46] Boogiepop
I could say the same
about yours, Kirima Nagi.
[19:57] Boogiepop
And that's how it happened.
[19:59] Echoes
I see. I guess nothing is ever simple.
[20:05] Echoes
Everything is complicated.
[20:08] Boogiepop
Indeed. If Kuroda Shinpei hadn't tried
to save Kirima Nagi in the first place,
[20:14] Boogiepop
you and Manticore would've
never happened upon our world.
[20:19] Echoes
How ironic.
[20:24] Boogiepop
This world is about to come to an end.
[20:27] Boogiepop
I'm glad we met, Echoes-kun.
[20:31] Echoes
As am I.
[20:37] Echoes
I don't know what quirk of fate it was,
[20:42] Echoes
but the reason that Kirima
Nagi still continues to fight
[20:46] Echoes
is apparently because she is carrying on
the feelings of those she encounters.
[20:51] Echoes
I am also thankful for what fate has done.
[20:57] Boogiepop
What are you going to do now?
[21:01] Echoes
Watch over the world from far away...
No matter what fate has in store for me.
[21:08] Echoes
In her place.
[21:12] Boogiepop
I see.
[21:15] Echoes
What about you, Boogiepop?
What are you going to do now?
[21:21] Boogiepop
First, I'm going to ponder how to get
back from this distorted world.
[21:27] Echoes
Where did you come from?
[21:30] Boogiepop
Who knows? I actually have no
idea how and when I show up...
[21:36] Boogiepop
Until I go back.
[21:38] Echoes
Once you return to your world,
do you plan to continue fighting?
[21:43] Boogiepop
Well...
[21:53] Boogiepop
Now, then...

Because I didn't need to earlier.
[02:27] Shizuka

I can go by myself. It's fine.

Goodness, were you dragged

Who are you, old man?
[03:13] Teratsuki
"Old man" is a bit harsh. I'm still young.
[03:18] Makoto
But you're older than me, right?
[03:22] Teratsuki
Well, I'm sure I look older to you.
[03:25] Teratsuki
But to tell you the truth... I was just born.
[03:31] Makoto
What are you, stupid?
[03:33] Makoto
No way that's true.
[03:36] Teratsuki
But there are no absolute truths

[04:12] Shirou
You're Habara Kentarou-san, right?
[04:14] Habara
Oh, hey, Shirou!
[04:16] Habara
It's been a while!
Has it been since middle school?
[04:19] Shirou
I think so. How's school going for you?
[04:22] Shirou
You went to a pretty
competitive school, didn't you?
[04:25] Habara
Well, I'm getting by.
[04:28] Habara
I ran into some trouble,
but it all worked out.
[04:31] Habara
So, what's up? Did you come here by yourself?
[04:34] Habara
You're not on a date or whatever?
[04:36] Shirou
No... This was a date.
[04:39] Habara
Huh?
[04:40] Shirou
The girl who was supposed to come
with me can't go anywhere anymore.
[04:44] Shirou
So I came here alone...
[04:46] Habara
You mean... she died?
[04:50] Shirou
I'm not exactly sure... But probably.
[04:55] Shirou
We passed by this building together
while they were still building it.
[04:59] Shirou
She mentioned that she
wanted to visit it someday.
[05:03] Shirou
I suddenly remembered that last night,
[05:07] Shirou
so I decided to come... and treat it like a date.
[05:10] Habara
I see.
[05:12] Shirou
What about you, Habara-san?
[05:14] Habara
Oh, I came here by myself.
I was just a little curious.
[05:18] Shirou
Then would you mind hanging out with me?
[05:21] Habara
Huh? But didn't you say...
[05:24] Shirou
She liked being with big groups of people,
[05:27] Shirou
and you're pretty knowledgeable with
this high-tech stuff, aren't you?
[05:32] Habara
High-tech? I'm not sure if "high-tech"
is the right way to describe this thing.
[05:38] Shirou
That Teratsuki guy who died recently
was the one who had this built, right?
[05:42] Habara
Yeah.
[05:43] Habara
Well, calling this
Teratsuki Kyouichirou's folly
[05:46] Habara
might be the best way to describe it.
[05:51] Habara
He was an entrepreneur who amassed
an enormous fortune all on his own,
[05:55] Habara
and helped advance various
fields through his contributions.
[05:59] Habara
This is the Tower of Babylon that "the Monster"
Teratsuki Kyouichirou left behind:
[06:03] Habara
the Moon Temple.

[06:31] Habara
The Moon Temple that Teratsuki built
on a whim was supposed to act
[06:34] Habara
as a central network that
would connect information
[06:37] Habara
from all around the world,
[06:40] Habara
but no one knows exactly why it was built.
[06:44] Shirou
So they basically built something that
they don't know what to do with?
[06:51] Habara
Yeah, though I imagine
Teratsuki had some ideas for it.
[06:55] Habara
That said, this thing is definitely impressive.
[06:58] Habara
They needed some extra funds to help
resolve the mess Teratsuki left behind,
[07:02] Habara
so they delayed demolition for a month
[07:04] Habara
and opened it up to the public
as some kind of exhibition.
[07:07] Shirou
Wow... I had no idea.
[07:11] Shirou
But a central network? Is there any point
to something like that in this day and age?
[07:17] Habara
Yeah... Despite how long it took to build,
[07:21] Habara
I'm sure Teratsuki was
able to foresee all that.
[07:27] Habara
Uh-oh... Looks like it might rain.
[07:33] Keiji
Oh, right... That thing was opening today.
[07:37] Keiji
Look at all those people...
[07:41] Keiji
I guess I wouldn't mind seeing
it if Miyashita wants to go.

We can, right? I know you
might be busy, but...
(Flashback) [07:49] Keiji
Well...
[07:50] Touka
All I've been doing lately is studying,
so I've been kinda lonely.
(Flashback) [07:54] Keiji
Yeah... true.
(Flashback) [07:57] Keiji
I've been pretty lonely myself,
so why don't we go out?
[08:00] Touka
Really?!
(Flashback) [08:02] Keiji
Yeah, sure.
(Flashback) [08:04] Keiji
So where do you want to meet up?
[08:06] Touka
How about the place we first met?
(Flashback) [08:09] Keiji
Yeah, sure.
[08:12] Keiji
Well, this isn't good.
[08:16] Lady
Aw, it's raining?
[08:18] Guy

[08:20] Shinozaki
We're going to try to get people inside

[08:24] Shinozaki
Please wait for the people in front

[08:31] Keiji
The Moon Temple.
[08:34] Keiji
It's constructed to look like two
structures pulling at each other,
[08:37] Keiji
so the whole building is twisted.
[08:40] Keiji
Everything inside is on a slope,
so there aren't any actual floors inside.
[08:46] Keiji
It's pretty interesting from
an architectural perspective,
[08:49] Keiji
but I wonder if Miyashita
would have any interest in it.
SIGN Morning! I'm excited for today!
SIGN Morning.
SIGN I shouldn't be late today!
[08:54] Keiji
I don't mind if she's a little late...
[08:57] Keiji
As long as it's not like that one time.
[09:01] Keiji
I wouldn't mind seeing them again, though.
[09:04] Distortion
Do you want to see me that badly?
[09:08] Distortion
But you can see me at any time.
[09:13] Distortion
Hello there, Takeda-kun.
[09:17] Distortion
It's rather simple to see me.
[09:20] Distortion
I appear whenever there is
a threat to this world...
[09:25] Distortion
So all you need to do is create
a threat to this world.
[09:30] Distortion
Well, what will you do, Takeda-kun?
[09:35] Keiji
Who are you? They don't smile like that!
[09:41] Keiji
You're not Boogiepop. You're a fake!
[09:46] Distortion
I am the King of Distortion. I was
born to turn this world into gold.

[10:05] Kei
Ugh! Wasn't it supposed to be sunny today?
[10:09] Kei
I just wanted to turn in my
prep school application.
[10:12] Kei
Guess I'm just gonna have to wait it out.
[10:27] Kei
What the heck am I doing?
[10:29] Kei
I'm such an idiot!
[10:36] Kei
Huh?
[10:41] Kei
It can't be...
[10:42] Kei
Boogiepop?
[10:47] Kei
What are they doing here?
[10:54] Kei
Hey... Wait!
[10:57] Kei
Coming through! I work here!
[11:02] Sakiko
Was that Niitoki Kei?
[11:05] Sakiko
She works here? What the heck?
[11:08] Takeshi
Hey, Sakiko,
[11:10] Takeshi
did you see that person who ran past?
[11:12] Sakiko
What?
[11:14] Takeshi
They looked like they were
in some weird cosplay.
[11:16] Sakiko
Did they? I didn't see anything.
[11:19] Takeshi
There so was!
[11:20] Takeshi
They went by super fast,
so I didn't get a good look...
[11:23] Takeshi
But they had on a black cape and
some hat that resembled a... pipe?
[11:27] Sakiko
We're not talking about Boogiepop here.
[11:29] Takeshi
Huh? What's that?
[11:31] Sakiko
Nothing.
[11:33] Guy
The next line can head on in.
[11:35] Takeshi
Ah! We finally get to go in.
[11:39] Sakiko
I almost feel like we shouldn't.
[11:42] Takeshi
Huh? What are you talking about?
[12:12] Takeshi
Sakiko.
[12:14] Takeshi
The elevator's this way.
[12:17] Sakiko
Let's walk up. We might
as well since we're here.
[12:20] Takeshi
No way! It looks the same
no matter where you are in here!
[12:24] Sakiko
Well, we won't know unless we look.
[12:26] Takeshi
"I made it all the way to the top!
Yay!" What are you, a little kid?
[12:32] Sakiko
Suit yourself, then. I'll go up alone.
[12:36] Takeshi
H-Hey, wait!
[12:38] Takeshi
Did I do something to piss you off?
[12:41] Sakiko
No.
[12:42] Takeshi
Why are you so mad, then?!
[12:45] Sakiko
Look, I didn't come here because
I was interested in you.
[12:49] Sakiko
Got it?
[12:53] Takeshi
Whatever!
[12:54] Takeshi
I'll be waiting at the top.
[12:57] Habara
Wow, are you guys fighting?
[12:59] Shirou
Habara-san! You don't
need to say it like that!
[13:02] Sakiko
Can I help you?
[13:05] Habara
Oh, my bad. It's just, his situation looked
similar to mine, so it just came out...
[13:17] Sakiko
It's so mysterious.
[13:19] Sakiko
I wonder what the person who
made this building was li—
[13:26] Sakiko
Boogiepop?
[13:28] Sakiko
It's said that they're a young man
who would kill people when they
[13:33] Sakiko
were at their most beautiful,
before they could grow uglier.
[13:38] Sakiko
Wait!
[13:41] Sakiko
Wait! Boogiepop!
[13:44] Habara
Hey, isn't that the girl from earlier?
[13:46] Shirou
Boogiepop?
[13:48] Habara
What the heck is that?
[13:51] Habara
You know what it is?
[13:53] Shirou
Uh, no... Sorry, it's nothing.
[13:59] Habara
What the hell is that?!
[14:01] Sakiko
What's going on?!
[14:03] Shinozaki
HQ, please, come in!
[14:05] Shinozaki
Can you hear me?
[14:07] Shinozaki
HQ, please come—
[14:10] Shinozaki
What's going on?
[14:26] Guy
Doesn't something seem weird?
[14:27] Girl
We haven't moved at all for a while.
[14:29] Boy
I wanna go home.
[14:31] Lady
Why'd the shutters go down?
[14:33] Guy B
Maybe they reached capacity?
[14:35] Lady B
What? That sucks.
[14:39] Guy A
The emergency system activated?
[14:41] Guy B
Yes. Something caused an error in the system,
and it caused the shutters to come down.
[14:46] Guy A
How are the people inside?
[14:48] Guy B
I'll check right now.
[14:56] Kei
What is this place?
[14:58] Kei
It's so creepy.
[15:02] Kei
Where the heck did you go, Boogiepop?
[15:13] Kei
Where's it coming from?
[15:23] Kei
What's going on?
[15:26] Kei
Why's the song the only
thing I can hear clearly?
[15:31] Kei
Wh-What is this?
[15:34] Kei
What's... going on?!
[15:37] Masami
Niitoki-senpai, what are you hiding?
[15:41] Kei
What?! Who are you?!
[15:44] Kei
Please stop!
[15:45] Masami
Are you just going to hide
that forever, President?
[16:12] Shinozaki
What in the world is going on?
[16:15] Shinozaki
I was working my security gig...
[16:19] Noriko
Now, calm down, Shinozaki-kun.
[16:22] Shinozaki
Noriko? What are you doing here?
[16:25] Shinozaki
Wait, what?! What the heck was I just doing?
[16:29] Noriko
That's what I want to know.
[16:30] Shinozaki
Huh?
[16:31] Noriko
Have you done anything worth talking about?
[16:36] Noriko
You know... these last three years.
[16:44] Masami
I see.
[16:47] Masami
So this is where you end up.
[16:50] Masami
It was at this place and at this moment
[16:52] Masami
that you hid something.
[16:55] Kei
S-Saotome-kun? N-No...
[16:58] Kei
Y-You can't be...
[17:00] Kei
You died!
[17:06] Masami
Correct. I am not Saotome Masami.
[17:10] Kei
What do you mean?
[17:12] Masami
I am the King of Distortion.
[17:14] Kei
Distortion?
[17:16] Masami
I rule over the distortion
within the hearts of men.
[17:20] Masami
I am everywhere,
[17:23] Masami
and I am nowhere.
[17:28] Shinozaki
You're... the King of Distortion?
[17:30] Noriko
Yup. I'm here to help you remember
something that's lingering in your heart.
[17:36] Noriko
And the reason I've taken on this form
[17:39] Noriko
is because you desired it.
[17:43] Masami
There's still something
lingering in your heart.
[17:46] Masami
And in order to do something about that,
you had to see Saotome Masami once more.
[17:53] Kei
What are you talking about?
[17:54] Masami
You should already know what it is.
[18:01] Guy B
This is HQ, come in.
[18:04] Shinozaki
Shinozaki here.
[18:06] Guy B
How's everyone doing inside?
[18:08] Shinozaki
Everything seems to be fine.
[18:11] Shinozaki
Everyone's staying calm.
[18:12] Guy B
Roger. We're looking into
what caused the problem.
[18:16] Guy B
Please stand by.
[18:17] Shinozaki
Roger that.
[18:20] Noriko
So, what were we talking
about, Shinozaki-kun?
[18:27] Noriko
Three years ago,
[18:28] Noriko
didn't you invite me to this place
because you wanted to tell me something?
[18:32] Noriko
Or did we just randomly end
up walking home together?
[18:38] Noriko
This time, I'll wait as long as you need...
[18:41] Noriko
until you can tell me what you need to say.
[18:48] Kei
So you're saying that I'm
here with you right now
[18:51] Kei
because that's what I wanted?
[18:53] Masami
Yes.
[18:54] Kei
But why is it just you? What
happened to your girlfriend?
[19:00] Kei
I'm talking about Manticore!
You two were together!
[19:05] Masami
Yes. If you so desired, I would
have appeared as both of them.
[19:11] Kei
Just so we're clear,
[19:12] Kei
I've never once thought I wanted
to be alone with Saotome-kun.
[19:18] Masami
Yes, I imagine that's the case.
[19:20] Masami
But I'm not here to fulfill your wishes.
[19:24] Masami
What matters right now is whatever
is lingering in your heart.
[19:27] Masami
I'm here to give you a chance
to do something about it.
[19:32] Kei
What are you even talking about?
What are you trying to achieve
[19:36] Kei
by showing me this dream?
[19:38] Masami
I'm not trying to do anything.
[19:40] Masami
You're the one who's going
to do something, President.
[19:44] Kei
Don't call me that.
[19:47] Kei
It's not like I wanted to be—
[19:48] Masami
"But someone has to do it"?
[19:53] Masami
It sure looks good on your
college applications, though.
[19:57] Masami
I'm sure that's part of the reason why.
[20:00] Kei
That's not—
[20:02] Masami
Everyone thinks that.
[20:04] Masami
"Niitoki Kei is a disgusting,
brown-nosing shrimp
[20:06] Masami
who always has to act
like a goody two-shoes."
[20:10] Kei
You're the last person
I want to hear that from!
[20:13] Masami
Then who do you want to hear it from?
[20:17] Masami
What about Takeda Keiji?
[20:20] Masami
Takeda Keiji knew that
you had feelings for him.
[20:25] Masami
And what if, despite that,
[20:28] Masami
the reason he never responded to you was
because that was how he felt about you?
[20:32] Kei
S-Senpai's not like that...
[20:36] Masami
He broke your heart. You have
no reason to defend him.
[20:43] Masami
I'm sure...
[20:44] Masami
that's how you feel deep inside, isn't it?
[20:48] Masami
You should be more honest with
yourself, don't you think?
[20:57] Masami
Now, tell me...
[21:01] Masami
What would you like to do?
[21:05] Kei
I...
[21:07] Boogiepop
That's enough.
[21:14] Kei
Boogiepop!
[21:16] Boogiepop
It's you again, Niitoki Kei?
[21:19] Masami
Oh? I had a feeling you'd come.
[21:22] Boogiepop
You know who I am?
[21:25] Masami
I do.
[21:26] Masami
And that's exactly why I'm not
going to let you get in my way.
[21:31] Masami
I won't allow anyone to stop my experiment
to turn everything into gold.
[21:38] Boogiepop
Tell me your name.
[21:43] Masami
I am the King of Distortion.
[21:49] Kei
Huh? Where are we?!
[21:51] Kei
What's going on?
[21:54] Boogiepop
He called himself the King of Distortion.
[21:58] Boogiepop
This probably won't be simple.
[22:03] Boogiepop
I might not be able to protect you this time.

[01:34] Shizuka
Come to think of it... You actually listen
to rock music, even though you're rich.
[01:40] Shizuka
I never got to listen to it.
[01:44] Teratsuki
I see. So you're the sheltered type.
[01:48] Shizuka
Yeah. Honestly, I hate it.
[01:52] Shizuka
My dad's not even that rich.
[01:53] Shizuka
He just owns a small business, but he
still treats me like a rich daughter.
[01:59] Shizuka
Actually, I'm more like some fancy
French doll than a daughter.
[02:02] Shizuka
As for my mother...
[02:05] Shizuka
This feels weird, King of Distortion.
[02:09] Shizuka
That's your name, right?
[02:13] Teratsuki
You can call me whatever you'd like.
[02:15] Shizuka
Right.
[02:17] Shizuka
Well, my mother—along with
my father, and myself, too—
[02:24] Shizuka
We all hated it when I became a mother.
[02:27] Shizuka
When I got pregnant with
Makoto, I was only twenty.
[02:31] Shizuka
I didn't know whose kid he was,
but out of all the relationships I'd had,
[02:37] Shizuka
you're the only one
I wanted to be his father.
[02:43] Teratsuki
I see. So, how much do you want?
[02:47] Shizuka
Th-That's not why I brought this up!
[02:48] Teratsuki
I'll give you as much as you'd like,
[02:50] Teratsuki
but I refuse to acknowledge
the child as my own or marry you.
[02:55] Teratsuki
I don't have citizenship, so city hall
wouldn't accept it, anyway.
[03:01] Teratsuki
I don't know whose kid it is,
but it also doesn't really matter.
[03:06] Shizuka
What's that supposed to mean?
[03:08] Teratsuki
I can't have children.
[03:12] Shizuka
I'll tell the media about this!
Your reputation will be ruined!
[03:17] Teratsuki
Let me just warn you...
I really wouldn't do that.
[03:21] Teratsuki
That would put your life in danger.
[03:23] Shizuka
As if I'd fall for a bluff like that.
[03:25] Teratsuki
If only I were bluffing...
[03:28] Teratsuki
So, going back to the subject of money...
[03:31] Teratsuki
This is your chance. I really encourage
you to take as much as you can from me.
[03:35] Teratsuki
You can never have enough money
when it comes to raising a child.
[03:41] Teratsuki
You're not going to say you
don't need any money, are you?
[03:45] Shizuka
You're not going to tell me not to have it?
[03:48] Teratsuki
Is that what you want to hear?
[03:51] Teratsuki
If you don't want to
have it, I won't stop you,
[03:54] Teratsuki
but I personally think that'd be a waste.
[03:58] Shizuka
Even though I don't even
know who the father is?
[04:00] Teratsuki
Then just marry anyone you want.
[04:04] Teratsuki
That won't change my mind
about giving you money.
[04:07] Teratsuki
I'd act now if I were you, though.
[04:09] Teratsuki
In a few years... maybe six?
I'll probably be disposed of.
[04:15] Shizuka
Huh?
[04:16] Teratsuki
Then I won't be able to pay you.
[04:18] Teratsuki
Of course, I don't intend
to go without a fight.
[04:23] Teratsuki
I plan to leave one last parting gift.
[04:29] Shizuka
He had such a serious expression
that I couldn't say anything.
[04:35] Shizuka
After that, I took Teratsuki's
money and gave birth to Makoto.
[04:42] Shizuka
I thought the best way to get him back
was to raise Makoto to be a great person.
[04:49] Shizuka
But then Teratsuki died.
[04:53] Shizuka
Not in the six years that he predicted,
[04:56] Shizuka
but in eight.
[04:59] Shizuka
And now, Teratsuki is sitting
next to me, just like before.
[05:06] Teratsuki
You don't like your mother?
[05:07] Shizuka
That's not it. She doesn't like me.
[05:11] Teratsuki
That's not very nice.
[05:15] Shizuka
After I started raising my
son, I started to realize
[05:17] Shizuka
that there were things my
mother never did for me.
[05:23] Teratsuki
But you're giving your child the proper
love and care that he deserves.
[05:29] Teratsuki
That's great.
[05:33] Shizuka
Hey, what's your deal?
What are you trying to do?
[05:38] Shizuka
I mean... This is all your doing, right?
[05:42] Shizuka
You planned all of this,
didn't you, Kyouichirou-san?
[05:45] Teratsuki
I'm not so sure about that.
[05:47] Shizuka
Well, who else is there?
[05:49] Teratsuki
Besides, when did I ever say that
I was actually Teratsuki Kyouichirou?
[05:54] Shizuka
Huh?
[05:55] Teratsuki
You only came to this world
because you wanted to.
[05:59] Teratsuki
Who I am has nothing to do with you.
[06:04] Shizuka
Then you really don't
care what happens to me?
[06:09] Shizuka
Just like my mother...
[06:13] Shizuka
I was in love with you.
[06:16] Shizuka
It's true. I really, really loved you.
[06:20] Shizuka
I couldn't say it back then, but...
[06:23] Teratsuki
Is it just that you couldn't say it?
[06:25] Teratsuki
Maybe that's what you thought you felt
now that you're looking back on it.
[06:29] Shizuka
Why does that matter?
[06:31] Shizuka
I just want to throw everything out.
[06:36] Shizuka
I was such a fool, all this time...
[06:42] Shizuka
Wait a second! Is this really in the past?
[06:46] Shizuka
Where's Makoto? What happened to him?
[06:49] Shizuka
Does this mean he's not going to be born?
[06:52] Teratsuki
Who knows? I'm not sure.
[06:55] Teratsuki
You might actually get your wish.
[07:00] Shizuka
What do you mean by that?
[07:03] Shizuka
You can't mean...
[07:05] Shizuka
that I could possibly make
Makoto your real son?
[07:10] Teratsuki
Who knows? I'm not sure.
[07:18] Sakiko
I feel like it's been a while since
I started looking for Boogiepop.
[07:28] Hinako
Sakiko! I see that you give up
as easily as ever. Here.
[07:34] Sakiko
Well, what am I supposed to do?
[07:37] Sakiko
I'm not as smart as you, Hina-chan.
[07:48] Sakiko
Huh?
[07:49] Hinako
What is it?
[07:50] Sakiko
It's just... Is this where we were?
[07:54] Hinako
What's that supposed to mean?
[07:56] Sakiko
Well, I mean...
[07:58] Hinako
What are you talking about?
[08:00] Sakiko
Never mind, it's nothing.
[08:03] Sakiko
I'm just tired and a little out of it.
[08:05] Hinako
You never change, Sakiko.
[08:08] Sakiko
Neither do you, Hina-chan.
But you're so pretty now.
[08:13] Hinako
Really? Well, thank you.
[08:17] Sakiko
The Hina-chan I knew was a
really lively eleven-year-old girl.
[08:21] Sakiko
She was popular and always cheerful.
[08:25] Hinako
But you're really pretty now, too, Sakiko.
[08:28] Hinako
I bet you're really popular.
[08:30] Sakiko
I'm not.
[08:32] Sakiko
All the guys interested in me are losers.
[08:35] Sakiko
Even the guy I was with today
couldn't figure anything out.
[08:40] Hinako
I think he just wanted to have fun with you.
[08:44] Sakiko
He just doesn't know when to stop, though.
[08:46] Hinako
Oh, come on. You feel something for him, right?
[08:50] Sakiko
No way!
[08:52] Sakiko
I'm sure you'll understand once
you start dating, Hina-cha—
[08:57] Hinako
Well, I've never been on a date, so...
[09:01] Sakiko
Hey, Hina-chan... When did that happen?
[09:04] Hinako
What?
[09:06] Sakiko
You know... That thing...
[09:08] Sakiko
Right before summer break started...
[09:11] Sakiko
I said something awful to you, and...
(Flashback) [09:14] Sakiko
Guys will never like a stupid
beanpole like you!
(Flashback) [09:18] Sakiko
You're just gonna die like that!
[09:26] Sakiko
After that... I wanted to
apologize to you so badly, but...
[09:33] Sakiko
Once summer vacation was over...
Once I saw you at school...
[09:37] Sakiko
I was going to apologize...
[09:39] Sakiko
But you...
[09:42] Hinako
I died along with my
family in a car accident.
[09:46] Hinako
It was a tragic accident.
[09:49] Sakiko
I was jealous of you, Hina-chan.
[09:53] Sakiko
There were rumors saying that the boy
[09:55] Sakiko
I happened to like back
then had feelings for you.
[09:58] Sakiko
So I...
[09:59] Hinako
Maybe she didn't care so much.
[10:02] Sakiko
But I've wanted to apologize this whole time!
[10:06] Sakiko
I'm so sorry! I'm sure you'll be
beautiful when you grow up, Hina-chan!
[10:12] Sakiko
I really think that!
[10:14] Sakiko
So I...
[10:16] Sakiko
I wanted to say I'm sorry...
[10:22] Hinako
That's what's been bothering you?
[10:25] Sakiko
Yeah...
[10:27] Sakiko
That's not Hinako-chan...
[10:30] Sakiko
I know there's no point
in me telling you this...
[10:35] Sakiko
But I'm an awful person
who has no right to live,
[10:39] Sakiko
so... so I...
[10:43] Sakiko
I wanted Boogiepop to kill me!
[10:48] Hinako
Boogiepop...
[10:49] Sakiko
They were right here! I saw them!
[10:52] Hinako
Yes, I know.
[10:55] Sakiko
You do?
[10:56] Hinako
But I wonder if Boogiepop
will actually kill you.
[11:01] Hinako
Do you think they'll save
you from your suffering?
[11:06] Sakiko
Well... Will you kill me, then, Hina-chan?
[11:12] Sakiko
Hey, who are you?
[11:16] Hinako
You were suffering.
[11:18] Hinako
This whole time, you've been suffering
so much that you couldn't even realize it.
[11:24] Hinako
It's impossible to get rid of that pain now,
[11:27] Hinako
because it consumes your whole heart.
[11:32] Hinako
That's why you must take
[11:34] Hinako
the pain you want to erase from your heart,
[11:39] Hinako
and turn it into gold instead.
[11:43] Sakiko
Gold?
[11:44] Hinako
Yes.
[11:46] Hinako
All that glitters.
[11:53] Ken
Back then,
[11:54] Ken
I was using a hacking tool I happened upon
to look into investment companies,
[12:00] Ken
to steal their client data and
sell it onto the black market.
[12:07] Ken
Come on... Come on!
[12:10] Ken
Yes!
[12:13] Ken
Don't blame me. Blame the person who
made this incredibly convenient tool.
[12:21] Ken
I always chose companies
that operated in a gray area,
[12:25] Ken
so it'd be hard to track me down...
[12:28] Ken
Or so I thought.
[12:30] Ken
Wh-What the hell is this?!
[12:32] Ken
Shit!
SIGN Device Not Ejected Properly Eject this device before disconnecting or turning it off.
[12:40] Ken
I had a bad feeling about this.
[12:44] Ken
And sadly, I was right.
[12:53] Ken
Was that a trap?
[12:55] Cop
Are you a high school student?
[12:58] Ken
Yes, I am.
[13:00] Cop
Do you have your student ID card?
[13:02] Ken
Uh, sure, I do... Is something wrong?
[13:07] Cop
Well, that's a great school.
SIGN Identification Card
This card proves that this individual is a student at this school.
Name: Habara Kentarou

[13:11] Cop
Do you come around here often?
This isn't a route to this school.
[13:15] Ken
Well, I guess I come this way sometimes.
[13:18] Ken
Is there a problem?
[13:20] Cop
Could I take a look in your bag?
[13:22] Ken
Um... There's nothing
really important in there.
[13:26] Cop
I'd still prefer to make sure.
[13:29] Ken
I-I see...
[13:31] Nagi
Kentarou.
[13:35] Nagi
Did something happen?
[13:38] Nagi
I'm gonna go on ahead.
[13:41] Cop
Is that your girlfriend?
[13:43] Ken
Uh, yes... We were just meeting up.
[13:46] Cop
Well, there are some unsavory characters
around here, so don't wander around too much.
SIGN Café Tristan
[13:54] Ken
Who the hell are you?
[13:56] Nagi
What's my deal? You're the
problem here, Habara Kentarou.
[14:00] Ken
How do you know about me?
[14:02] Nagi
You should give up on that business of yours.
[14:05] Nagi
You haven't run into too
many problems so far,
[14:08] Nagi
but things are about to change.
[14:11] Nagi
This world isn't as kind as you think.
[14:16] Ken
Don't tell me that warning was...
[14:18] Nagi
Well, thanks to you, I was able to crush
one investment scam group's network.
[14:25] Ken
Hey, what the hell do you mean by that?
[14:28] Nagi
Nothing, really.
[14:29] Ken
Are you the one who made that hacking tool?
[14:33] Nagi
Of course I'm not. I'm sure
someone like the NSA made it.
[14:38] Ken
Which means someone altered
it and spread it onto a site.
[14:42] Nagi
I never thought I'd meet anyone
who could actually use it, though.
[14:48] Ken
I see. So I've been dancing in the
palm of your hand this whole time.
[14:53] Nagi
I don't feel bad about it.
You did a half-assed job, anyway.
[14:57] Ken
No, that's not what I meant.
[15:00] Ken
Why didn't you just tell
me in the first place?
[15:03] Ken
If you'd just explained
everything to begin with,
[15:06] Ken
I would've been happy to help you out.
[15:08] Ken
Why didn't you just ask me?
[15:11] Ken
Well? Kirima Nagi-san from Shinyou Academy.
[15:18] Nagi
How do you know my name?
[15:20] Ken
Guess you're not too careful yourself.
[15:22] Ken
There's nothing weird about some
guys trying to find out more about
[15:26] Ken
someone as hot as you.
[15:29] Ken
This was my memorable
first meeting with Nagi.
[15:35] Ken
And apparently, what's going on
right now is its continuation.
[15:40] Nagi
So what you're saying is that
this is love at first sight?
[15:45] Ken
Pretty much... Though I never
would've been able to say that.
[15:51] Nagi
Why not?
[15:53] Ken
Huh? How the hell am I supposed to tell her?
[15:55] Ken
She's a superhero.
[15:58] Ken
She's got no time for someone like me.
[16:00] Nagi
Well, aren't you admirable.
[16:03] Ken
No matter how you look at
this, this is an illusion.
[16:06] Ken
I'm still inside the Moon Temple.
[16:09] Nagi
Oh? Is that what you think?
[16:11] Ken
I don't know how this trick works, but don't
think you can trap me in here forever.
[16:17] Ken
I'm gonna get the hell outta here for sure.
[16:19] Nagi
That's rather noble of you, Kentarou.
[16:22] Ken
Only because you're looking
at me with that face.
[16:25] Ken
Listen up, King of Distortion.
[16:26] Ken
Everything here is something
I've seen before.
[16:30] Ken
Which means this is my memory,
[16:34] Ken
and this is just going on in my head.
[16:36] Ken
It's basically a dream.
[16:39] Nagi
I see. Well done.
[16:43] Nagi
But haven't you ever considered
[16:47] Nagi
that this world we live in is a nightmare?
[16:53] Nagi
What's the easiest way to escape a nightmare?
[16:58] Ken
What does that mean?
[17:00] Nagi
It's extremely simple.
[17:03] Nagi
A trifle, really.
[17:07] Ken
Wh-What was that?!
[17:09] Saotome
I just told you, didn't I?
[17:12] Saotome
It's extremely simple.
[17:15] Ken
Who the hell are you?!
[17:16] Saotome
You sure I'm not part of your memory?
[17:19] Ken
I asked you who you are!
[17:22] Saotome
Saotome Masami. Just like you, I had
unrequited feelings for Kirima Nagi.
[17:29] Saotome
Now... Will you be able to
make it out of this nightmare?
[17:35] Ken
Damn it!
[17:45] Ken
Don't tell me...
[18:01] Ken
No way! This has to be a dream!
[18:27] Ken
Hey! What the hell are you doing there, kid?
[18:30] Ken
Let's get out of here!
[18:31] Mako
Who are you, mister?
[18:33] Ken
Don't call me that! I'm still in high school!
[18:36] Ken
Shit! Here it comes.
[18:42] Mako
Hey... Are you able to see Zooragi?
[18:46] Ken
Zooragi? Are you talking about that monster?
[18:50] Mako
Yeah.
[18:52] Ken
Hey, aren't you...
(Flashback) [18:57] Mako
My balloon!
(Flashback) [18:59] Shizu
That's what you get for not
holding it properly. Jeez.
(Flashback) [19:04] Mako
Man...
[19:07] Ken
I see. So that's what's going on here.
[19:12] Mako
What are you doing? Weren't
we getting out of here?
[19:15] Ken
Yeah, you're right.
[19:19] Ken
This pretty much solidifies the fact that
this is all taking place in my memories.
[19:25] Ken
Apparently that Saotome guy
showed up just like this kid,
[19:29] Ken
because I must've seen them somewhere.
[19:31] Ken
In that case, to get out of here...
[19:34] Ken
To wake up from this nightmare...
[19:44] Mako
Are we gonna be okay going back in there?
[19:49] Ken
Yeah, don't worry.
[19:51] Ken
Leave this to me.
[19:54] Ken
Hey.
[19:55] Mako
I'm... exhausted.
[19:59] Ken
All right... Fine.
[20:01] Ken
You wait here.
[20:03] Ken
Got it?
[20:15] Ken
Just as I thought.
[20:17] Ken
You dumbass! Hurry and wake the hell up!
[20:26] Ken
Hey, Shirou! Wake up!
[20:35] Shirou
Habara-san... What was I...
[20:38] Ken
It's not just you. Everyone here's
in the same boat, including me.
[20:42] Shirou
Th-This is... What in the world is going on?
[20:58] Ken
I'm not really sure myself,
[21:00] Ken
but apparently everyone fell asleep
at some point, and they're dreaming.
[21:04] Shirou
Dreaming?
[21:05] Ken
You had one too, right?
[21:09] Shirou
Come to think of it...
[21:12] Shirou
I was meeting with her...
[21:14] Ken
Did this girl happen to call
herself the King of Distortion?
[21:19] Shirou
Yes, she did.
[21:21] Ken
I knew it.
[21:23] Shirou
You met them, too?
[21:25] Ken
Yup.
[21:26] Ken
That bastard... What's he trying to do?
[21:31] Shirou
Habara-san, do you have any idea
who the King of Distortion is?
[21:36] Ken
Who the hell else could it be?
[21:39] Ken
It's the one who built this
damn thing to begin with.
[21:42] Shirou
Teratsuki Kyouichirou?
[21:44] Ken
But isn't he dead?
[21:47] Ken
That's the problem here.
[21:49] Ken
Maybe he didn't die and he's
hiding somewhere around here,
[21:53] Ken
or he managed to set something up
here to function even after he died.
[21:59] Ken
Either way, he really thought this out...
[22:03] Ken
We're all dancing in the palm of his hand.

SIGN Dengeki Bunko
[01:39] Kei
Wh-What is this?
[01:42] Kei
What's going on?
[01:43] Boogiepop
I do not know.
[01:45] Kei
But you reappeared because you sensed
another threat to this world, right?
[01:49] Boogiepop
Yes, that is correct, but I don't
know exactly what this threat is.
[01:56] Boogiepop
I appear automatically, after all.
[01:59] Kei
Even in this situation?
[02:02] Kei
Just find this King of Distortion
and take him out already!
[02:06] Boogiepop
If it were actually that simple,
I wouldn't need to appear.
[02:11] Boogiepop
Besides, I'm not entirely
sure if he's my enemy yet.
[02:16] Kei
What's that mean?
[02:17] Boogiepop
It seems the being that calls
itself the King of Distortion
[02:21] Boogiepop
is trying to draw some kind
of reaction out of people.
[02:26] Boogiepop
What I mean is, that
alone isn't destructive.
[02:31] Boogiepop
It's not like last time.
[02:33] Kei
Last time? You mean with Manticore?
[02:37] Boogiepop
It appears the real threat
hasn't appeared yet this time.
[02:51] Boogiepop
Hunger affects your nerves.
[02:54] Boogiepop
You should eat something.
[02:56] Kei
Could this be...
[03:01] Boogiepop
Yes, I believe Miyashita Touka made it
to eat it together with Takeda Keiji.
[03:08] Kei
I-I don't want this!
[03:11] Boogiepop
It's still food, regardless.
[03:13] Kei
I feel bad for Miyashita-san, though.
[03:16] Boogiepop
It's fine. I'm sure she'll deal with it.
[03:20] Kei
Really?
(Flashback) [03:23] Suema
Split personalities?
(Flashback) [03:25] Kei
Yeah... Like someone's
personality suddenly changing.
(Flashback) [03:30] Suema
Niitoki-san, first off, most cases of
dissociative identity disorder are fake.
(Flashback) [03:38] Kei
Huh?
(Flashback) [03:38] Suema
They're just acting. At least,
I think most of them are, anyway.
(Flashback) [03:43] Kei
But... Th-There are all kinds of cases...
(Flashback) [03:48] Suema
Yes, there are, but there's no way to
prove that they're completely true.
(Flashback) [03:53] Suema
Dissociative identity disorder
is nothing more than a theory.
(Flashback) [03:59] Suema
Niitoki-san, even you have some
kind of secret, don't you?
(Flashback) [04:03] Suema
And when you're trying to hide it,
aren't you just acting?
(Flashback) [04:06] Suema
You probably seem rather different
from yourself at times, too.
(Flashback) [04:11] Suema
But if someone said that was
actually another identity,
(Flashback) [04:14] Suema
isn't that a bit too much?
(Flashback) [04:16] Kei
W-Well, yeah...
(Flashback) [04:19] Suema
The human heart has many more sides
than people are willing to admit.
(Flashback) [04:25] Kei
B-But isn't it possible that someone
might not even realize
(Flashback) [04:28] Kei
that they have another identity?
(Flashback) [04:31] Suema
True, but...
(Flashback) [04:33] Suema
How are you supposed to prove that?
(Flashback) [04:37] Kei
Huh? Um...
(Flashback) [04:39] Suema
There's a part of dissociative identity
disorder that's probatio diabolica.
(Flashback) [04:44] Suema
They might be lying, but to prove that...
(Flashback) [04:49] Kei
It might be difficult?
(Flashback) [04:51] Suema
I believe that multiple personalities
come from someone's desires.
(Flashback) [04:56] Suema
At times, it's a way for someone
to deny that they've done something
(Flashback) [05:00] Suema
and blame someone else who's
supposedly inside of them.
(Flashback) [05:04] Kei
I see...
(Flashback) [05:06] Suema
Those feelings, which everyone
has, are what affirm
(Flashback) [05:11] Suema
the existence of dissociative
identity disorder.
(Flashback) [05:13] Suema
That's what I believe.
[05:17] Kei
Feelings that everyone has, huh?
[05:24] Kei
This is good.
[05:32] Kei
You're good at that.
[05:35] Boogiepop
You're the second person to tell me that.
[05:38] Kei
Who was the first?
[05:40] Boogiepop
Takeda-kun.
[05:42] Kei
Senpai knows about you, too?
[05:45] Boogiepop
Yes.
[05:46] Kei
I wonder what he thinks about all this...
[05:48] Kei
Your existence is quite a burden, you know?
[05:51] Boogiepop
Well, he's a good person.
[05:55] Kei
Why does Miyashita-san like Senpai?
[05:59] Boogiepop
Who knows? I'm not certain myself, but
I'd suspect it's for the same reason you do.
[06:07] Boogiepop
Why did you end up liking Takeda-kun?
[06:14] Kei
Probably because he's nice.
[06:17] Kei
I wonder if it's the same for Miyashita-san.
[06:20] Boogiepop
Again, I'm not sure.
[06:23] Kei
What about you, then? What do
you think about Takeda-senpai?
[06:28] Boogiepop
I don't have my own sense of self.
What I'm thinking matters to no one.
[06:37] Kei
That's not fair.
[06:40] Boogiepop
I'm grateful for Takeda-kun.
[06:43] Boogiepop
He's the only one who ever
called me their friend.
[06:48] Boogiepop
Yes...
[06:50] Boogiepop
In that sense, you could even
say that I'm a bit jealous.
[06:56] Kei
Jealous?
[06:58] Boogiepop
Jealous of Miyashita Touka, just like you.
[07:04] Kei
Wh-What? What's going on?
[07:08] Kei
Hey, wait!
[07:29] Kei
Wh—
[07:30] Kei
Why are you here again?
[07:32] Saotome
Looks like they're gone.
[07:35] Saotome
Now, let's continue our conversation.
[07:42] Guy
What do you mean, there's no
blueprint data remaining?
[07:45] Guy B
What can we do? The president deleted them.
[07:49] Keiji
Is Miyashita in there?
[07:52] Guy
Could this be a time-delayed device?
[07:55] Guy B
A time-delayed device?
What are you talking about?
[07:58] Guy
Like, maybe the president planned
for this to happen before he died.
[08:02] Keiji
If she is in there, could
it actually be Boogiepop?
[08:12] Sakiko
Say, Hinako...
[08:15] Sakiko
Will you forgive me?
[08:17] Hinako
I'm not the one who decides that.
[08:20] Sakiko
Yeah... This is an illusion, after all.
[08:23] Sakiko
The truth is that you're already dead,
and you probably hate me, but...
[08:28] King
But what?
[08:30] Sakiko
You're the guy from earlier...
[08:33] King
I appeared this way because
he was in your memories.
[08:36] King
That's probably what he'd say, anyway.
[08:39] Sakiko
Then are you the King of Distortion?
[08:41] King
Who knows? That doesn't really matter.
[08:44] King
What matters is, even if you ask
Hinako-kun for forgiveness,
[08:48] King
you'll never get an answer.
[08:52] Hinako
Hey, did you ever think about me
from time to time before this?
[08:58] Sakiko
Huh?
[08:59] Hinako
You probably completely
forgot about me until today.
[09:03] Sakiko
I'm sorry.
[09:05] Hinako
No... The fact that you had forgotten
shows how great your guilt was.
[09:10] Hinako
It was what was tying you down.
[09:13] Hinako
But at this rate, Hinako's existence
will only continue to harm you.
[09:19] Hinako
Even though it should be fun,
just like we're having now.
[09:27] Sakiko
Is that what you mean by gold?
[09:29] Hinako
No... It's everything that you think glitters.
[09:37] Sakiko
What's that noise?
[09:38] Hinako
You don't need to worry about Zooragi.
[09:42] Sakiko
Zooragi?
[09:43] Hinako
Yes.
[09:45] Sakiko
You don't need to worry about it.
[09:48] Shirou
An illusion?
[09:50] Habara
Yeah. They probably filled
the place with psychotropic gas.
[09:57] Habara
I mean, the guy made a completely
closed-off building.
[10:01] Habara
There's a good chance that Teratsuki
Kyouichirou is behind all of this.
[10:05] Shirou
But even if that's true,
what was he trying to do?
[10:09] Habara
Right. Also, why did he make this
place like one giant staircase?
[10:13] Habara
There are tons of questions.
[10:17] Habara
I can't get through...
[10:19] Shirou
This does seem like some demon
lord's tower from a video game.
[10:23] Habara
That's not even funny...
[10:25] Shirou
Oh, Habara-san! There's a hatch over here.
[10:32] Habara
Looks like someone went through before us.
[10:35] Habara
It might lead to the control room.
[10:37] Habara
Let's go.
[10:41] Shirou
What is this? Talk about horrible taste...
[10:48] Habara
There's nothing here. Looks like
it's just some storage space.
[10:51] Habara
I guess that means the control
room might be on the top floor.
[10:54] Habara
This fells more and more
like a game, huh, Shirou?
[10:58] Habara
What are you looking for?
Think we can get outside?
[11:01] Shirou
No...
[11:02] Shirou
I just thought there might be
signs that they might be here.
[11:06] Habara
They?
[11:08] Shirou
It's nothing.
[11:11] Shirou
I guess we're out of options. We'll just
have to go back the way we came
[11:14] Shirou
and try to find another exit.
[11:24] Shirou
Huh?
[11:25] Habara
Hey, what's wrong?
[11:28] Shirou
There's no one... here.
[11:36] Habara
What the hell's going on?
[11:42] Habara
That roar... I'm pretty sure
I've heard it somewhere before...
[11:44] Guy
H-Help me...
[11:50] Habara
Wh-What the hell is all this?!
[11:53] Habara
What are these things?
[11:55] Habara
Hey, Shirou!
SIGN Kirima Nagi
[12:03] Habara
Is that you, Nagi?
[12:05] Masaki
As I figured, you tried
asking my sister for help.
[12:10] Habara
Masaki?
[12:12] Habara
Where's Nagi? Is Nagi there?
[12:16] Masaki
You're acting pretty lame, Kentarou-san.
[12:20] Habara
Who the hell are you?
[12:22] Masaki
I'm sure you already know the answer.
[12:25] Masaki
I can't have you asking for help right now.
[12:30] Masaki
My experiment isn't over yet.
[12:37] Mob
There's an earthquake happening
just around the Moon Temple!
[12:38] Mob
Hello? Hello?!
[12:40] Mob
I can't get a signal!
[12:40] Keiji
An earthquake? But that means it's really...
[12:42] Mob
Maybe there's some interference...
[12:52] Mob
We're sinking!
[12:53] Mob
The ground below us is caving in!
[12:56] Mob
Over here, too!
[12:59] Keiji
Is this the trap that Teratsuki
Kyouichirou left behind?
[13:04] Keiji
Or... could it be...
[13:08] Mob
Hey, don't tell me...
[13:09] Mob
Is the building actually going to collapse?!
[13:12] Keiji
Is this it?
[13:13] Keiji
Is this the threat to the world, Boogiepop?
[13:17] Keiji
Miyashita!
(Flashback) [13:25] Teacher
What's that, Makoto-kun?
(Flashback) [13:28] Makoto
My dad.
(Flashback) [13:29] Teacher
Your dad? But that's...
(Flashback) [13:32] Makoto
This is the dad that appears in my dreams.
(Flashback) [13:37] Teacher
I-I see... Does he have a name?
(Flashback) [13:41] Makoto
Zooragi.
(Flashback) [13:41] Teacher
Zo...
(Flashback) [13:44] Teacher
Wh-What an interesting name!
SIGN Our Dads
SIGN Hashizaka Makoto
[13:53] Makoto
Hey, is this gonna
take much longer, mister?!
[13:56] Makoto
Where'd you go?!
[14:15] Makoto
H-Help me... Someone help me!
[14:19] Boogiepop
Hey, there. Is something the matter?
[14:23] Makoto
Z-Zooragi is...
[14:25] Boogiepop
Zooragi? What's that?
[14:28] Makoto
It's a monster! It's right in front of us!
[14:32] Boogiepop
I'm afraid I can't see it, sadly.
[14:35] Makoto
Wh-What are you talking about?! It's gonna
eat us if we don't get out of here!
[14:42] Boogiepop
A monster, eh?
[14:44] Boogiepop
So that must be your King of Distortion.
[14:47] Boogiepop
And it's quite destructive at that.
[14:52] Boogiepop
Looks like I'll have my hands full again.
[14:57] Makoto
Huh?
[14:58] Boogiepop
Can I ask you something?
[15:00] Boogiepop
Could it be that this monster was
the one who squished everyone here?
[15:07] Makoto
Y-Yeah...
[15:10] Boogiepop
I see. So that's why everyone
just keeps asking for help.
[15:16] Boogiepop
Good grief. This is going
to be a huge ordeal.
[15:20] Boogiepop
I can safely say that even I've never
fought a monster before.
[15:27] Kei
I'm finally starting to understand.
[15:29] Saotome
Understand what, Niitoki-san?
[15:32] Kei
Who you really are, King of Distortion.
[15:35] Saotome
Oh? And what's that supposed to mean?
[15:38] Kei
At first, I thought I was dragged
into this illusion that you created.
[15:43] Kei
But if that were the case, it'd be
impossible for Boogiepop to come save me.
[15:49] Kei
Which means this isn't some kind of
illusion you created, but it's within me.
[15:54] Saotome
Within you, eh?
[15:56] Kei
To be more specific, you're
my alternate personality.
[16:01] Saotome
Oh?
[16:02] Kei
Suema-san told me that humans have
more sides to them than they know.
[16:09] Kei
And that's what you are.
[16:11] Kei
You're usually within me.
Someone trapped within a box.
[16:16] Kei
And you're an invader that's
borrowed their form.
[16:19] Kei
That's the true identity
of the King of Distortion.
[16:23] Kei
The continuous shaking
that's been going on...
[16:26] Kei
That's been going on since
before I returned here.
[16:30] Kei
Which means you're not creating it.
[16:33] Kei
It's being created by someone
else who's been possessed.
[16:36] Kei
It's the result of their
latent powers going berserk.
[16:43] Kei
And now, that's also scaring you.
[16:47] Kei
Am I wrong?
[16:50] Saotome
Apparently, that thing's called Zooragi.
[16:53] Saotome
It's gotten too big and is almost
completely independent from its creator.
[16:58] Kei
Zooragi...
[16:59] Saotome
It's not attacking anything
really intentionally...
[17:03] Saotome
But if it got serious, it could
flatten this building in an instant.
[17:08] Kei
Then hurry up and stop all of this!
[17:10] Kei
If you stop, all of this will disappear!
[17:14] Saotome
But will that make the Saotome Masami-kun
that's in your heart disappear, President?
[17:21] Kei
Th-That doesn't matter!
[17:23] Saotome
It's true I'm within you.
[17:26] Saotome
That's why I know everything you know.
[17:30] Saotome
Didn't Suema Kazuko say this, as well?
[17:33] Saotome
Split personalities are
a product of one's desires.
[17:37] Saotome
If I am truly a split personality, then
you have to find what desire created me.
[17:44] Saotome
No matter how bitter that may be,
[17:47] Saotome
and how much you'd like to avoid it.
[17:50] Saotome
Until that pain turns into your gold.
[18:05] Boogiepop
I see. It looks like our wavelengths
are finally matching.
[18:10] Boogiepop
I'm almost able to see it now.
[18:13] Makoto
What are you going to do?
[18:14] Boogiepop
Well, it definitely looks like it wants to play,
[18:17] Boogiepop
so I'm just going to have to accept.
[18:20] Makoto
Y-You're going to fight that thing?!
[18:22] Boogiepop
Well, there isn't any other way.
[18:31] Boogiepop
Looks like I missed.
It's much faster than I expected.
[18:35] Makoto
What did you do?
[18:36] Boogiepop
I messed up.
[18:47] Boogiepop
Perhaps I shouldn't have wounded it.
[18:51] Boogiepop
Then again, it's not like I can
cut through its giant body.
[18:55] Makoto
Where are we going, mister?
[18:57] Boogiepop
The name's Boogiepop.
[18:59] Makoto
Boogiepop?
[19:02] Boogiepop
We're going up. There really
isn't any other way we can go.
[19:06] Makoto
Up?! But then—
[19:08] Boogiepop
It might just corner us.
[19:32] Makoto
Wh-What's that?!
[19:34] Boogiepop
I think it's finished with
being troublesome,
[19:36] Boogiepop
and is now just trying to
destroy the whole building.
[19:39] Boogiepop
It's rather intelligent.
[19:41] Makoto
R-Really?!
[19:57] Boogiepop
Do you have any experience?
[19:59] Makoto
Huh?
[20:00] Boogiepop
Do you have any experience?
[20:02] Makoto
I-In what?
[20:05] Boogiepop
Bungee jumping!
[20:32] Makoto
Y-You actually won...
[20:36] Boogiepop
There's nothing you can't do in this world
[20:38] Boogiepop
when you have a bit of
intelligence and courage.
[20:48] Boogiepop
You finally believed in me.
[20:50] Boogiepop
For a moment, I didn't know what I'd do.
[20:54] Boogiepop
There you have it, Zooragi-kun.
[20:57] Boogiepop
Looks like your exit has
been blocked this time.
[21:02] Boogiepop
Even if you were to crush this thing,
you wouldn't be able to leave.
[21:19] Boogiepop
Someday, there'll be someone else
to acknowledge your existence.
[21:25] Boogiepop
Until then...
[21:34] Boogiepop
Good grief.
[21:37] Makoto
You're so awesome, Boogiepop...
[21:40] Boogiepop
Why, thank you.
[21:46] Boogiepop
Is this from when we jumped off?
[21:48] Boogiepop
I wonder if Takeda-kun will be angry that
I accidentally wounded this body.
[21:59] Boogiepop
Apparently a small portion of Zooragi's
power crossed the boundary.
[22:06] Boogiepop
This building's not going
to last much longer.

SIGN Dengeki Bunko
[01:35] Shirou
Are you all right, Habara-san?
[01:38] Ken
Y-Yeah, I'm fine...
[01:42] Shirou
Seems like the earthquake's stopped.
[01:44] Ken
What happened to me?
[01:47] Shirou
You started shouting out of
nowhere, and then collapsed.
[01:52] Ken
I see...
[01:57] Shirou
Is something wrong?
[01:59] Ken
No...
[02:01] Shirou
Well, anyway, Habara-san...
[02:03] Shirou
I found another entrance.
[02:09] Shirou
It's right below here.
[02:15] Ken
Hey, wake up!
[02:18] Shirou
Isn't she the girl from earlier?
The one you laughed at.
[02:29] Ken
Hey, you awake?
[02:31] Sakiko
Who are you guys?
[02:35] Ken
I'm Habara Kentarou. This is Tanaka Shirou.
[02:39] Sakiko
Michimoto Sakiko...
[02:42] Ken
Did you meet the King of
Distortion too, Michimoto-san?
[02:45] Sakiko
The King of Distortion...
[02:48] Sakiko
Were you the ones who woke me up?
[02:51] Ken
Hey, what did he seem like?
[02:53] Ken
Did you happen to see his
true identity or get any hints?
[02:57] Sakiko
Why are you asking me that?
[03:00] Ken
We're gonna defeat him! And to
do that, we need some clues.
[03:05] Sakiko
Defeat him?
[03:06] Sakiko
What did the King of Distortion say to you?
[03:10] Ken
Probably something similar
to what he said to you.
[03:20] Sakiko
And yet...
[03:22] Shirou
Habara-san, this hatch opens. It's not locked.
[03:26] Ken
Great.
[03:28] Ken
Well, you don't have to believe us,
but just wait here for a bit.
[03:39] Ken
How's it look inside?
[03:41] Shirou
It doesn't look like anything
is here, just like earlier.
[03:45] Ken
Let's head back.
[03:47] Shirou
Yes.
[03:50] Sakiko
I won't let you interfere.
[03:52] Sakiko
No matter your reason,
[03:54] Sakiko
I won't let you stop the King of Distortion!
[03:56] Ken
Hold on!
[03:58] Sakiko
I'm... I'm going back over there!
[04:05] Ken
Damn it. It's not opening.
[04:08] Ken
What the hell is her deal?
[04:28] Guy
Hey, you.
[04:29] Guy
You should step back.
It's dangerous over there.
[04:32] Guy
Hey, what is that?
[04:43] Keiji
Wh-What the...
[04:45] Teratsuki
Ladies and gentlemen... Were you
able to figure everything out?
[04:49] Teratsuki
No... If you're hearing this music,
[04:53] Teratsuki
it means you still haven't reached me yet.
[04:58] Teratsuki
I don't know how many are currently
inside the Moon Temple,
[05:04] Teratsuki
but to those who are outside...
[05:07] Teratsuki
There is no way inside the Moon Temple.
[05:10] Teratsuki
Don't try anything futile.
[05:16] Ken
That's Teratsuki Kyouichirou's voice.
[05:18] Ken
I knew it. He must be the King of Distortion.
[05:22] Teratsuki
Next, to those who are inside...
[05:24] Teratsuki
I imagine that you might be concerned
about the noise before the music.
[05:30] Teratsuki
That was the noise of the air
ducts in this building locking.
[05:35] Teratsuki
Yes, this means that your oxygen
supply has been cut off.
[05:41] Teratsuki
I don't know how much time you have,
[05:44] Teratsuki
but if you don't do something soon,
you're going to die of asphyxiation.
[05:48] Ken
What?!
[05:49] Teratsuki
Now, then... I wish you all luck.
[05:53] Teratsuki
Do your best.
[05:55] Ken
Shit! You can't be serious!
[05:57] Ken
Is he trying to kill us all?
[06:00] Shirou
Please calm down, Habara-san.
[06:02] Shirou
It's not as simple as he made it sound.
[06:05] Ken
But—
[06:06] Shirou
Just because he shut off the air ducts
[06:08] Shirou
doesn't mean he can completely
shut off the air supply in here.
[06:12] Shirou
This is just a bluff.
[06:13] Ken
And what's he doing that for?
[06:17] Shirou
Think about what someone who panicked
in this situation would do.
[06:23] Ken
They'd run.
[06:25] Ken
But the exits are...
[06:27] Shirou
Yes, they're blocked off.
[06:30] Ken
Which means... up above!
[06:33] Shirou
Yes.
[06:34] Shirou
Those who want to survive
will naturally head up.
[06:38] Shirou
He's probably doing this
to lead people to him.
[06:43] Ken
This is seriously like some game.
[06:46] Ken
I guess the first thing we
gotta do is get out of here.
[06:50] Shirou
Yes. Let's go.
[06:54] Ken
I guess she had pretty good taste, though.
[06:57] Shirou
What do you mean?
[06:58] Ken
That girl who was in love with you.
[07:01] Ken
She had good taste.
[07:05] Shirou
Oh... You think so?
[07:11] Kei
What's going on?
[07:13] Kei
Is your end goal to kill everyone
in this building? Is that all?
[07:20] Saotome
Who knows? What do you think?
[07:23] Kei
I don't know! That's why I'm asking you!
[07:26] Saotome
It's not like you to worry,
[07:30] ---
Miss President.
[07:34] Saotome
This is how it should be.
You were brave back then, too.
[07:39] Saotome
You were there, Saotome Masami was there...
[07:44] Saotome
Now, if only Tanaka Shirou were
here, it'd be just like back then.
[07:50] Kei
What are you getting at?
[07:52] Saotome
Kirima Nagi might come save you again.
[07:57] Kei
I'm not counting on it.
[08:05] Saotome
Is something the matter, President?
[08:08] Kei
I get it now, Saotome-kun.
[08:12] Saotome
What do you mean?
[08:14] Kei
What I left with you.
[08:18] Kei
The reason why the King of Distortion
appeared as Saotome Masami before me.
[08:25] Kei
I know why now.
[08:33] Keiji
Miyashita...
[08:37] Touka
You called?
[08:40] Keiji
M-Miyashita?
[08:43] Keiji
Wh-What are you doing here?
[08:46] Touka
Senpai, how much time are
you going to waste out here?
[08:50] Touka
Aren't you going to go inside?
[08:53] Keiji
Y-You're... the King of Distortion?
[08:58] Touka
If you want to go in, follow me.
[09:01] Keiji
H-Hey!
[09:05] Keiji
What the hell is going on?
[09:17] Touka
This is a dream world,
with just the two of us.
[09:22] Touka
Everyone else's realities are
being shifted just a bit.
[09:28] Keiji
Shifted?
[09:34] Keiji
Hey, what are you doing?
[09:40] Keiji
What the hell?
[09:41] Touka
It's just a staff entrance.
[09:45] Touka
Say, Senpai.
[09:47] Touka
Come and get me.
[09:50] Keiji
W-Wait!
[09:59] Shirou
Habara-san.
[10:00] Ken
Here?
[10:01] Shirou
Yes. The sound is different
just in this one spot.
[10:05] Ken
Which must mean there's a hatch
somewhere used for inspections...
[10:10] Shirou
Let's hurry.
[10:11] Ken
Yeah.
[10:21] Sakiko
I can't go back...
[10:23] Sakiko
Can't I go back there anymore, Hinako?
[10:31] Sakiko
Everything should just fall apart.
[10:51] Sakiko
Boogiepop...
[10:59] Sakiko
You... saved me?
[11:02] Boogiepop
I'm not sure.
[11:04] Sakiko
U-Um... You're, uh...
[11:10] Boogiepop
Precisely. My name is Boogiepop.
[11:14] Boogiepop
You seem to already know that.
[11:17] Sakiko
Are you the real Boogiepop?
[11:19] Boogiepop
Who knows? Is there anything
that's really real in this world?
[11:26] Sakiko
That's not what I'm saying...
[11:29] Sakiko
What I'm saying is...
Do you actually... um...
[11:33] Boogiepop
Do I actually kill people?
[11:35] Boogiepop
Yes, I do. Isn't that why all
of you call me a reaper?
[11:44] Sakiko
Why do you kill people?
[11:46] Boogiepop
Because that's my job.
[11:49] Boogiepop
The ones I kill tend to be
enemies of this world.
[11:54] Sakiko
How do you choose those people?
[11:57] Boogiepop
I don't actually get to choose.
[12:01] Boogiepop
Much of the time,
[12:02] Boogiepop
the ones who are to be killed
automatically appear in front of me.
[12:07] Sakiko
Does that mean they appear in front
of you, asking you to kill them?
[12:13] Sakiko
I think I get that.
[12:16] Boogiepop
I'm not so sure.
[12:18] Boogiepop
No human actually wants to be killed.
[12:23] Sakiko
That's not true!
[12:24] Sakiko
There have to be people who are sick
of living and truly want to be killed!
[12:30] Boogiepop
That just means they have a choice.
[12:34] Boogiepop
If they live any longer, then what
they've lived for all along will die.
[12:40] Sakiko
What do you mean?
[12:42] Boogiepop
In order to have the right
to ask to be killed,
[12:46] Boogiepop
you have to actually live first.
[12:52] Boogiepop
Do you really...
[12:54] Boogiepop
have that right?
[12:57] Sakiko
But I'm really awful! I'm a really
terrible, horrible human being!
[13:03] Boogiepop
Does being bad make it okay to kill you?
[13:05] Sakiko
Of course it does!
[13:07] Sakiko
The world would be a little better
off with fewer bad people!
[13:11] Boogiepop
So a world where only good people live?
[13:16] Sakiko
Yes... Not someone like me...
[13:20] Sakiko
But where someone like Hina-chan
is living peacefully...
[13:23] Sakiko
She was...
[13:26] Sakiko
She was a much, much better
person than I was...
[13:29] Sakiko
And yet, I'm still here...
[13:34] Boogiepop
Was your King of Distortion nice to you?
[13:39] Sakiko
Yes... She said I had to change
all this pain into gold...
[13:47] Boogiepop
What does that mean?
[13:50] Sakiko
I-I don't really understand, either...
[13:54] Sakiko
But I thought I had to do it.
[13:57] Sakiko
I'd do anything to live
with Hina-chan there...
[14:04] Boogiepop
She is a part of you.
[14:10] Boogiepop
If she was kind, that's
actually your own kindness.
[14:18] Boogiepop
Apparently the King of Distortion
is like me and doesn't have a body.
[14:24] Boogiepop
The distortion within your heart
took form and came outside.
[14:30] Boogiepop
Which means that you've been distorting
your own kindness this whole time.
[14:39] Boogiepop
That's in no way an easy thing.
[14:42] Boogiepop
I'm sure that distortion has been
causing you pain for a very long time.
[14:48] Boogiepop
But at the same time,
the amount of pain you felt
[14:52] Boogiepop
just shows how kind you actually are.
[15:01] Boogiepop
She appeared to show you that.
[15:10] Boogiepop
I believe that you've already achieved it.
[15:17] Boogiepop
If your feelings aren't already gold,
[15:22] Boogiepop
then I'm pretty sure nothing
in this world actually glitters.
[15:30] Boogiepop
Good grief...
[15:38] Boogiepop
It appears that this isn't
going to end easily.
[15:46] Shirou
Was he controlling the
Moon Temple from here?
[15:50] Ken
Nah. If that were the case, there'd be no
reason to make this huge-ass building.
[15:56] Shirou
Which means...
[16:24] Ken
Anyway, I'm gonna see if I can
undo the locks on this building.
[16:36] Teratsuki
Hello. Great job making it this far.
[16:40] Teratsuki
You... Or a few of you... I don't know
if there's only one of you or many,
[16:46] Teratsuki
but I wanted to congratulate
you on making it to this point.
[16:50] Ken
Teratsuki Kyouichirou...
[16:53] Teratsuki
As you may have figured out,
this Moon Temple was built
[16:56] Teratsuki
simply just to lure you here right now.
[17:04] Teratsuki
Ah, yes. I should probably
explain a few things.
[17:08] Teratsuki
Have you ever thought that there was
something like a flow to this world?
[17:17] Teratsuki
Such as fate or a trend.
[17:21] Teratsuki
Have you ever thought about
what that might actually be?
[17:25] Teratsuki
That's a question that humans have
considered since their creation.
[17:33] Teratsuki
And that continues, even now.
[17:37] Teratsuki
Evolution is an idea born from that.
[17:43] Teratsuki
With evolution, there's somewhat
of a directionality or a flow.
[17:52] Teratsuki
So it's only natural to think...
[17:56] Teratsuki
Is that flow still flowing even now?
[18:01] Teratsuki
If that's the case, is there any
way to know what lies ahead,
[18:05] Teratsuki
or at least know the way to get there?
[18:09] Teratsuki
But that's God's territory.
[18:13] Teratsuki
At the same time, there's no point
in time that some person with power
[18:18] Teratsuki
didn't try to enter that territory
in the history of humanity.
[18:21] Teratsuki
But currently, there are no obvious
people with authority or rulers.
[18:24] Ken
What the hell is he talking about?
[18:29] Teratsuki
All that exists is a system.
[18:33] Teratsuki
This system happens to be
called the Towa Organization,
[18:37] Teratsuki
and is where I'm employed. They are
also responsible for my creation.
[18:42] Teratsuki
Yes, I am a synthetic human
created by the Towa Organization
[18:47] Teratsuki
to manipulate the economy however
the Towa Organization wanted it to move.
[18:52] Teratsuki
But my role is about to come to an end.
[18:56] Teratsuki
I became a little too powerful, so
they will probably dispose of me soon.
[19:04] Teratsuki
That's why I thought I'd play with
the Towa Organization a little bit.
[19:09] Teratsuki
That's why I built this Moon Temple.
[19:14] Teratsuki
I am sure that after my death, the Moon
Temple will become some kind of spectacle.
[19:20] Teratsuki
Perhaps you are one of the
people who came to see it.
[19:24] Teratsuki
Or maybe you're one of the event staff.
[19:27] Teratsuki
Regardless, I'm sure you
never dreamed that you'd
[19:31] Teratsuki
get caught up in something like this.
[19:33] Teratsuki
But you are here, and you
were meant to come here.
[19:39] Teratsuki
You were trapped within this building
and put to sleep with sleeping gas.
[19:45] Teratsuki
But what's important is
the fact that you awakened
[19:49] Teratsuki
and came all the way here.
[19:54] Teratsuki
There are those in this world who can
understand things that should not be understood,
[19:58] Teratsuki
those who go to places they
should not be able to go.
[20:02] Teratsuki
Those are the ones the Towa
Organization is wary of.
[20:08] Teratsuki
You understand now, don't you?
[20:10] Teratsuki
You are someone who can become an
enemy to the Towa Organization.
[20:15] Teratsuki
That's what I wanted to tell you.
[20:18] Teratsuki
That's the sole reason that
I built this Moon Temple,
[20:22] Teratsuki
using every last bit of Teratsuki
Kyouichirou's remaining fortune.
[20:27] Teratsuki
Just to tell you to be careful.
[20:33] Teratsuki
To undo the current lockdown
upon the Moon Temple...
[20:41] Teratsuki
Stairway to Heaven.
[20:45] Teratsuki
I'll just leave it at that.
[20:47] Teratsuki
If you type that in, everything will unlock.
[20:52] Teratsuki
At the same time, all these
records will be erased.
[20:57] Teratsuki
Listen carefully. You are a possibility.
[21:01] Teratsuki
I cannot even begin to fathom
to what extent that may be,
[21:03] Teratsuki
and I'm sure you don't
know yourself at this time.
[21:11] Teratsuki
So, what's important is what
you do with that possibility
[21:17] Teratsuki
and how much you grow.
[21:21] Teratsuki
I wish you the best.
[21:27] Teratsuki
Ah, it's you, Eugene.
[21:30] Teratsuki
I'm sure you'll have no
problem making me disappear.
[21:39] Ken
What... the hell is this?
[21:42] Shirou
I see.
[21:44] Shirou
That's what's going on.
[21:46] Ken
Uh, what are you talking about, Shirou?
[21:49] Ken
This is so messed up.
[21:51] Shirou
What do you mean?
[21:52] Ken
What? That didn't explain anything!
[21:56] Ken
The only things that made sense are that
we're trapped in here and were put to sleep.
[22:02] Ken
Why... Why didn't he mention anything
about the King of Distortion?

SIGN Dengeki Bunko
[01:35] Shirou
Are you all right, Habara-san?
[01:38] Ken
Y-Yeah, I'm fine...
[01:42] Shirou
Seems like the earthquake's stopped.
[01:44] Ken
What happened to me?
[01:47] Shirou
You started shouting out of
nowhere, and then collapsed.
[01:52] Ken
I see...
[01:57] Shirou
Is something wrong?
[01:59] Ken
No...
[02:01] Shirou
Well, anyway, Habara-san...
[02:03] Shirou
I found another entrance.
[02:09] Shirou
It's right below here.
[02:15] Ken
Hey, wake up!
[02:18] Shirou
Isn't she the girl from earlier?
The one you laughed at.
[02:29] Ken
Hey, you awake?
[02:31] Sakiko
Who are you guys?
[02:35] Ken
I'm Habara Kentarou. This is Tanaka Shirou.
[02:39] Sakiko
Michimoto Sakiko...
[02:42] Ken
Did you meet the King of
Distortion too, Michimoto-san?
[02:45] Sakiko
The King of Distortion...
[02:48] Sakiko
Were you the ones who woke me up?
[02:51] Ken
Hey, what did he seem like?
[02:53] Ken
Did you happen to see his
true identity or get any hints?
[02:57] Sakiko
Why are you asking me that?
[03:00] Ken
We're gonna defeat him! And to
do that, we need some clues.
[03:05] Sakiko
Defeat him?
[03:06] Sakiko
What did the King of Distortion say to you?
[03:10] Ken
Probably something similar
to what he said to you.
[03:20] Sakiko
And yet...
[03:22] Shirou
Habara-san, this hatch opens. It's not locked.
[03:26] Ken
Great.
[03:28] Ken
Well, you don't have to believe us,
but just wait here for a bit.
[03:39] Ken
How's it look inside?
[03:41] Shirou
It doesn't look like anything
is here, just like earlier.
[03:45] Ken
Let's head back.
[03:47] Shirou
Yes.
[03:50] Sakiko
I won't let you interfere.
[03:52] Sakiko
No matter your reason,
[03:54] Sakiko
I won't let you stop the King of Distortion!
[03:56] Ken
Hold on!
[03:58] Sakiko
I'm... I'm going back over there!
[04:05] Ken
Damn it. It's not opening.
[04:08] Ken
What the hell is her deal?
[04:28] Guy
Hey, you.
[04:29] Guy
You should step back.
It's dangerous over there.
[04:32] Guy
Hey, what is that?
[04:43] Keiji
Wh-What the...
[04:45] Teratsuki
Ladies and gentlemen... Were you
able to figure everything out?
[04:49] Teratsuki
No... If you're hearing this music,
[04:53] Teratsuki
it means you still haven't reached me yet.
[04:58] Teratsuki
I don't know how many are currently
inside the Moon Temple,
[05:04] Teratsuki
but to those who are outside...
[05:07] Teratsuki
There is no way inside the Moon Temple.
[05:10] Teratsuki
Don't try anything futile.
[05:16] Ken
That's Teratsuki Kyouichirou's voice.
[05:18] Ken
I knew it. He must be the King of Distortion.
[05:22] Teratsuki
Next, to those who are inside...
[05:24] Teratsuki
I imagine that you might be concerned
about the noise before the music.
[05:30] Teratsuki
That was the noise of the air
ducts in this building locking.
[05:35] Teratsuki
Yes, this means that your oxygen
supply has been cut off.
[05:41] Teratsuki
I don't know how much time you have,
[05:44] Teratsuki
but if you don't do something soon,
you're going to die of asphyxiation.
[05:48] Ken
What?!
[05:49] Teratsuki
Now, then... I wish you all luck.
[05:53] Teratsuki
Do your best.
[05:55] Ken
Shit! You can't be serious!
[05:57] Ken
Is he trying to kill us all?
[06:00] Shirou
Please calm down, Habara-san.
[06:02] Shirou
It's not as simple as he made it sound.
[06:05] Ken
But—
[06:06] Shirou
Just because he shut off the air ducts
[06:08] Shirou
doesn't mean he can completely
shut off the air supply in here.
[06:12] Shirou
This is just a bluff.
[06:13] Ken
And what's he doing that for?
[06:17] Shirou
Think about what someone who panicked
in this situation would do.
[06:23] Ken
They'd run.
[06:25] Ken
But the exits are...
[06:27] Shirou
Yes, they're blocked off.
[06:30] Ken
Which means... up above!
[06:33] Shirou
Yes.
[06:34] Shirou
Those who want to survive
will naturally head up.
[06:38] Shirou
He's probably doing this
to lead people to him.
[06:43] Ken
This is seriously like some game.
[06:46] Ken
I guess the first thing we
gotta do is get out of here.
[06:50] Shirou
Yes. Let's go.
[06:54] Ken
I guess she had pretty good taste, though.
[06:57] Shirou
What do you mean?
[06:58] Ken
That girl who was in love with you.
[07:01] Ken
She had good taste.
[07:05] Shirou
Oh... You think so?
[07:11] Kei
What's going on?
[07:13] Kei
Is your end goal to kill everyone
in this building? Is that all?
[07:20] Saotome
Who knows? What do you think?
[07:23] Kei
I don't know! That's why I'm asking you!
[07:26] Saotome
It's not like you to worry,
[07:30] ---
Miss President.
[07:34] Saotome
This is how it should be.
You were brave back then, too.
[07:39] Saotome
You were there, Saotome Masami was there...
[07:44] Saotome
Now, if only Tanaka Shirou were
here, it'd be just like back then.
[07:50] Kei
What are you getting at?
[07:52] Saotome
Kirima Nagi might come save you again.
[07:57] Kei
I'm not counting on it.
[08:05] Saotome
Is something the matter, President?
[08:08] Kei
I get it now, Saotome-kun.
[08:12] Saotome
What do you mean?
[08:14] Kei
What I left with you.
[08:18] Kei
The reason why the King of Distortion
appeared as Saotome Masami before me.
[08:25] Kei
I know why now.
[08:33] Keiji
Miyashita...
[08:37] Touka
You called?
[08:40] Keiji
M-Miyashita?
[08:43] Keiji
Wh-What are you doing here?
[08:46] Touka
Senpai, how much time are
you going to waste out here?
[08:50] Touka
Aren't you going to go inside?
[08:53] Keiji
Y-You're... the King of Distortion?
[08:58] Touka
If you want to go in, follow me.
[09:01] Keiji
H-Hey!
[09:05] Keiji
What the hell is going on?
[09:17] Touka
This is a dream world,
with just the two of us.
[09:22] Touka
Everyone else's realities are
being shifted just a bit.
[09:28] Keiji
Shifted?
[09:34] Keiji
Hey, what are you doing?
[09:40] Keiji
What the hell?
[09:41] Touka
It's just a staff entrance.
[09:45] Touka
Say, Senpai.
[09:47] Touka
Come and get me.
[09:50] Keiji
W-Wait!
[09:59] Shirou
Habara-san.
[10:00] Ken
Here?
[10:01] Shirou
Yes. The sound is different
just in this one spot.
[10:05] Ken
Which must mean there's a hatch
somewhere used for inspections...
[10:10] Shirou
Let's hurry.
[10:11] Ken
Yeah.
[10:21] Sakiko
I can't go back...
[10:23] Sakiko
Can't I go back there anymore, Hinako?
[10:31] Sakiko
Everything should just fall apart.
[10:51] Sakiko
Boogiepop...
[10:59] Sakiko
You... saved me?
[11:02] Boogiepop
I'm not sure.
[11:04] Sakiko
U-Um... You're, uh...
[11:10] Boogiepop
Precisely. My name is Boogiepop.
[11:14] Boogiepop
You seem to already know that.
[11:17] Sakiko
Are you the real Boogiepop?
[11:19] Boogiepop
Who knows? Is there anything
that's really real in this world?
[11:26] Sakiko
That's not what I'm saying...
[11:29] Sakiko
What I'm saying is...
Do you actually... um...
[11:33] Boogiepop
Do I actually kill people?
[11:35] Boogiepop
Yes, I do. Isn't that why all
of you call me a reaper?
[11:44] Sakiko
Why do you kill people?
[11:46] Boogiepop
Because that's my job.
[11:49] Boogiepop
The ones I kill tend to be
enemies of this world.
[11:54] Sakiko
How do you choose those people?
[11:57] Boogiepop
I don't actually get to choose.
[12:01] Boogiepop
Much of the time,
[12:02] Boogiepop
the ones who are to be killed
automatically appear in front of me.
[12:07] Sakiko
Does that mean they appear in front
of you, asking you to kill them?
[12:13] Sakiko
I think I get that.
[12:16] Boogiepop
I'm not so sure.
[12:18] Boogiepop
No human actually wants to be killed.
[12:23] Sakiko
That's not true!
[12:24] Sakiko
There have to be people who are sick
of living and truly want to be killed!
[12:30] Boogiepop
That just means they have a choice.
[12:34] Boogiepop
If they live any longer, then what
they've lived for all along will die.
[12:40] Sakiko
What do you mean?
[12:42] Boogiepop
In order to have the right
to ask to be killed,
[12:46] Boogiepop
you have to actually live first.
[12:52] Boogiepop
Do you really...
[12:54] Boogiepop
have that right?
[12:57] Sakiko
But I'm really awful! I'm a really
terrible, horrible human being!
[13:03] Boogiepop
Does being bad make it okay to kill you?
[13:05] Sakiko
Of course it does!
[13:07] Sakiko
The world would be a little better
off with fewer bad people!
[13:11] Boogiepop
So a world where only good people live?
[13:16] Sakiko
Yes... Not someone like me...
[13:20] Sakiko
But where someone like Hina-chan
is living peacefully...
[13:23] Sakiko
She was...
[13:26] Sakiko
She was a much, much better
person than I was...
[13:29] Sakiko
And yet, I'm still here...
[13:34] Boogiepop
Was your King of Distortion nice to you?
[13:39] Sakiko
Yes... She said I had to change
all this pain into gold...
[13:47] Boogiepop
What does that mean?
[13:50] Sakiko
I-I don't really understand, either...
[13:54] Sakiko
But I thought I had to do it.
[13:57] Sakiko
I'd do anything to live
with Hina-chan there...
[14:04] Boogiepop
She is a part of you.
[14:10] Boogiepop
If she was kind, that's
actually your own kindness.
[14:18] Boogiepop
Apparently the King of Distortion
is like me and doesn't have a body.
[14:24] Boogiepop
The distortion within your heart
took form and came outside.
[14:30] Boogiepop
Which means that you've been distorting
your own kindness this whole time.
[14:39] Boogiepop
That's in no way an easy thing.
[14:42] Boogiepop
I'm sure that distortion has been
causing you pain for a very long time.
[14:48] Boogiepop
But at the same time,
the amount of pain you felt
[14:52] Boogiepop
just shows how kind you actually are.
[15:01] Boogiepop
She appeared to show you that.
[15:10] Boogiepop
I believe that you've already achieved it.
[15:17] Boogiepop
If your feelings aren't already gold,
[15:22] Boogiepop
then I'm pretty sure nothing
in this world actually glitters.
[15:30] Boogiepop
Good grief...
[15:38] Boogiepop
It appears that this isn't
going to end easily.
[15:46] Shirou
Was he controlling the
Moon Temple from here?
[15:50] Ken
Nah. If that were the case, there'd be no
reason to make this huge-ass building.
[15:56] Shirou
Which means...
[16:24] Ken
Anyway, I'm gonna see if I can
undo the locks on this building.
[16:36] Teratsuki
Hello. Great job making it this far.
[16:40] Teratsuki
You... Or a few of you... I don't know
if there's only one of you or many,
[16:46] Teratsuki
but I wanted to congratulate
you on making it to this point.
[16:50] Ken
Teratsuki Kyouichirou...
[16:53] Teratsuki
As you may have figured out,
this Moon Temple was built
[16:56] Teratsuki
simply just to lure you here right now.
[17:04] Teratsuki
Ah, yes. I should probably
explain a few things.
[17:08] Teratsuki
Have you ever thought that there was
something like a flow to this world?
[17:17] Teratsuki
Such as fate or a trend.
[17:21] Teratsuki
Have you ever thought about
what that might actually be?
[17:25] Teratsuki
That's a question that humans have
considered since their creation.
[17:33] Teratsuki
And that continues, even now.
[17:37] Teratsuki
Evolution is an idea born from that.
[17:43] Teratsuki
With evolution, there's somewhat
of a directionality or a flow.
[17:52] Teratsuki
So it's only natural to think...
[17:56] Teratsuki
Is that flow still flowing even now?
[18:01] Teratsuki
If that's the case, is there any
way to know what lies ahead,
[18:05] Teratsuki
or at least know the way to get there?
[18:09] Teratsuki
But that's God's territory.
[18:13] Teratsuki
At the same time, there's no point
in time that some person with power
[18:18] Teratsuki
didn't try to enter that territory
in the history of humanity.
[18:21] Teratsuki
But currently, there are no obvious
people with authority or rulers.
[18:24] Ken
What the hell is he talking about?
[18:29] Teratsuki
All that exists is a system.
[18:33] Teratsuki
This system happens to be
called the Towa Organization,
[18:37] Teratsuki
and is where I'm employed. They are
also responsible for my creation.
[18:42] Teratsuki
Yes, I am a synthetic human
created by the Towa Organization
[18:47] Teratsuki
to manipulate the economy however
the Towa Organization wanted it to move.
[18:52] Teratsuki
But my role is about to come to an end.
[18:56] Teratsuki
I became a little too powerful, so
they will probably dispose of me soon.
[19:04] Teratsuki
That's why I thought I'd play with
the Towa Organization a little bit.
[19:09] Teratsuki
That's why I built this Moon Temple.
[19:14] Teratsuki
I am sure that after my death, the Moon
Temple will become some kind of spectacle.
[19:20] Teratsuki
Perhaps you are one of the
people who came to see it.
[19:24] Teratsuki
Or maybe you're one of the event staff.
[19:27] Teratsuki
Regardless, I'm sure you
never dreamed that you'd
[19:31] Teratsuki
get caught up in something like this.
[19:33] Teratsuki
But you are here, and you
were meant to come here.
[19:39] Teratsuki
You were trapped within this building
and put to sleep with sleeping gas.
[19:45] Teratsuki
But what's important is
the fact that you awakened
[19:49] Teratsuki
and came all the way here.
[19:54] Teratsuki
There are those in this world who can
understand things that should not be understood,
[19:58] Teratsuki
those who go to places they
should not be able to go.
[20:02] Teratsuki
Those are the ones the Towa
Organization is wary of.
[20:08] Teratsuki
You understand now, don't you?
[20:10] Teratsuki
You are someone who can become an
enemy to the Towa Organization.
[20:15] Teratsuki
That's what I wanted to tell you.
[20:18] Teratsuki
That's the sole reason that
I built this Moon Temple,
[20:22] Teratsuki

Ah, it's you, Eugene.
[21:30] Teratsuki
I'm sure you'll have no
problem making me disappear.
[21:39] Ken
What... the hell is this?
[21:42] Shirou
I see.
[21:44] Shirou
That's what's going on.
[21:46] Ken
Uh, what are you talking about, Shirou?
[21:49] Ken
This is so messed up.
[21:51] Shirou
What do you mean?
[21:52] Ken
