**[00:36] Denji**
Pochita?
**[00:40] Denji**
Did you take my body, like I said?
**[00:45] Pochita**
I always loved hearing you talk
about your dreams, Denji.
**[00:52] Pochita**
Here's the deal. I'll give you my heart...
**[00:56] Pochita**
And in exchange, I want you
to show me your dream.
**[01:01] Denji**
Pochita?!
**[01:08] Denji**
I'm not hurt?
**[01:16] Denji**
Pochita...?
**[01:25] Zombie Devil**
What is this?
**[01:27] Zombie Devil**
You're alive after being sliced up?
**[01:29] Zombie Devil**
Why? Gross!
**[01:31] Zombie Devil**
I seriously hate devil hunters.
**[01:34] Zombie Devil**
Guys, go ahead and eat him.
**[01:43] Denji**
* These guys had plenty already,*
* so why'd they want even more?*
**[01:49] Denji**
*Am I the same?*
**[01:52] Denji**
* I wasn't satisfied with*
* the happiness I had with Pochita.*
**[01:56] Denji**
*I kept dreaming about a better life.*
**[02:00] Denji**
* I guess we all dream*
* about stuff like that, huh?*
**[02:04] Denji**
*I can't blame you, then.*
**[02:08] Denji**
*And I won't, but...*
**[02:12] Denji**
*If you get in our way?*
**[02:17] Denji**
You'll die!
**[03:52] Toya**
Hello, everyone!
**[03:55] Toya**
They say you're allowed to make noise today.
You know what that means, right?
**[04:00] Toya**
Let me hear the Chainsaw Man call!
**[04:04] Toya**
Ready...
**[04:05] Toya**
Chainsaw Man! Chainsaw Man! Chainsaw Man!
**[04:11] Toya**
Chainsaw Man! Chainsaw Man! Chainsaw Man!
**[04:16] Toya**
Chainsaw Man! Chainsaw Man! Chainsaw Man!
**[04:21] Toya**
Thank you!
**[04:24] Toya**
Now, let the Chainsaw Fes begin!
**[04:45] Mukai**
Hello, everyone! Let me have
a round of applause!
**[04:49] Mukai**
Thank you!
**[04:53] Mukai**
Thank you! Thank you so much for coming
to the Chainsaw Fes today.
**[04:57] Mukai**
I'm your emcee, Mukai from
the comedy duo Tenshin!
**[05:04] Mukai**
Thank you.
**[05:06] Mukai**
Now, we started off
by letting you hear Toya,
**[05:10] Mukai**
who plays the role of Denji, do a live
reading of the first part of the story.
**[05:14] Mukai**
Did you all enjoy that?
**[05:18] Mukai**
Wonderful!
**[05:20] Mukai**
That was a super-cool opening! Thank you!
**[05:24] Mukai**
Today we'll be having
live readings from the cast,
**[05:29] Mukai**
a live concert from the artists
who do the ending themes...
**[05:33] Mukai**
It's going to be a packed day!
**[05:35] Mukai**
And as I said at the start,
it's okay to be loud,
**[05:38] Mukai**
so scream to your heart's content!
**[05:41] Mukai**
Are you ready to scream?
**[05:44] Mukai**
Thank you!

**[07:22] Cast**
Thank you. Wow!
**[07:26] Mukai**
Toya-san, how was it starting off
with that reading?
**[07:31] Toya**
I was pretty tense so
I got more into it than usual.
**[07:37] Toya**
But I could really feel the love
from you all. Thanks.
**[07:41] Mukai**
Thank you.
**[07:42] Mukai**
The rest of the cast will be doing readings
as well, which I'm sure you'll all love,
**[07:47] Mukai**
but let's start with a word
from the cast to everybody.
**[07:52] Mukai**
Let's start with Toya-san!
**[07:54] Toya**
I'm Kikunosuke Toya, and I play Denji.
**[07:57] Toya**
Thank you for all coming today!
Are you ready to get excited!
**[08:03] Toya**
Yay!
**[08:04] Toya**
Wow.
**[08:05] Toya**
And thanks for the Chainsaw Man call, too.
**[08:08] Toya**
It's so wonderful to be able to hear
your voices. Thank you everyone.
**[08:13] Mukai**
Thank you.
**[08:15] Mukai**
Now moving on, Sakata-san.
**[08:18] Sakata**
Yes, I'm Shogo Sakata, I play Aki Hayakawa.
**[08:20] Sakata**
I hope you all have a ton of fun today.
**[08:26] Sakata**
You're allowed to make some noise.
**[08:27] Sakata**
So let's make lots of noise, everyone.

Thank you!
**[08:35] Mukai**

Thank you!
**[08:51] Mukai**
Next, Ise-san.
**[08:53] Ise**
Hello, I'm Mariya Ise. I play Himeno.
**[08:55] Ise**

to today's Chainsaw Fes.
**[08:58] Ise**
Let's all have a lot of fun today, everyone!
**[09:03] Mukai**
Thank you!
**[09:06] Mukai**
Now, Takahashi-san.
**[09:08] Takahashi**
Okay! I'm Karin Takahashi, I play Kobeni.
**[09:10] Takahashi**
Let's all have a lot of fun
together today! Thank you!
**[09:14] Mukai**
Thank you.
**[09:17] Mukai**
Now, Taichi-san.
**[09:19] Taichi**
Hello, I'm Yo Taichi. I play Akane Sawatari.
**[09:21] Taichi**
I'm one of the bad guys, but I still hope
I can have fun everyone else.
**[09:25] Taichi**
Thank you.
**[09:27] Mukai**
Thank you.
**[09:30] Mukai**
Now, Hamano-san, go ahead.
**[09:32] Hamano**
I'm Daiki Hamano, I play Sideburns Man.
**[09:34] Taichi**
Is that right?
**[09:35] Kikunosuke**
You have a cooler name
you can use, you know.
**[09:37] Hamano**
I'm told this is going to be
streamed globally lately, so...
**[09:42] Hamano**
A big shout out to the fans overseas!
**[09:45] Hamano**
I appreciate your love and support.
**[09:47] Hamano**
Let's have some fun today!
**[09:50] Mukai**
Yay!
**[09:52] Mukai**
Thank you.
**[09:53] Unknown**
What did you say?
**[09:55] Mukai**
What did you say?
**[09:56] Unknown**
What did you say?
**[09:57] Hamano**
I said thank you for all the support.
**[10:01] Mukai**
That's wonderful.
**[10:04] Mukai**
This is being seen worldwide! Thank you!
**[10:07] Mukai**
This is our cast for the day.
**[10:10] Mukai**
Tomori Kusunoki, who plays Makima,
can't be with us here today due to illness.
**[10:16] Mukai**
We know this is a sad announcement
**[10:18] Mukai**
for those of you who were
looking forward to seeing her,
**[10:20] Mukai**
but we hope you'll understand.
**[10:22] Mukai**
We also have a comment from her
that I'll read for you.
**[10:30] Mukai**
"I'm really disappointed because I was
looking forward to enjoying this event
**[10:34] Mukai**
with all of you Chainsaw Man fans.
**[10:36] Mukai**
I'm so sorry to those of you
who were looking forward to this.
**[10:40] Mukai**
I'll do my best to get better soon.
**[10:43] Mukai**
Since you're at the event, I assume it's
because you're already a fan of Chainsaw Man,
**[10:47] Mukai**
but I hope you'll look forward to
what else we've got in store for you."
**[10:50] Mukai**
That was her comment!
**[10:52] Mukai**
Thank you!
**[10:53] Toya**
Thank you.
**[10:54] Fairouz**
Get well soon!
**[10:56] Unknown**
I hope she gets better soon.
**[10:58] Mukai**
We all hope she gets better soon so that
we can see her at another event.
**[11:04] Mukai**
But she's with us in spirit, of course,
so let's have a lot of fun today!
**[11:10] Mukai**
Are you guys ready to have some fun!
**[11:13] All**
Yay!
**[11:15] Mukai**
Great, thank you!
**[11:17] Mukai**
Now, let's get started
by showing you a digest version
**[11:22] Mukai**
of the first 12 episodes of Chainsaw Man.
**[11:27] Mukai**
Toya-san, can you kick us off?
**[11:31] Toya**
All right! Roll the tape!
**[29:44] Mukai**
Thank you!
**[29:48] Mukai**
We've just seen a recap
of episodes one through twelve.
**[29:53] Mukai**
The awesome music made these twelve
episodes almost seem like a music video.
**[29:59] Mukai**
You just feel so much emotion watching
this recap, so many memories...
**[30:06] Mukai**
There were so many great scenes,
**[30:08] Mukai**
and I'm sure you all have
your favorites that you like.
**[30:15] Mukai**
For me it would be Himeno...
Himeno-san and Denji's barfy kiss.
**[30:21] Mukai**
We got to see that.
**[30:23] Mukai**
And that cute scene where
Power says she has an IQ of 500.
**[30:28] Mukai**
And Power looking cute with her glasses.
**[30:31] Mukai**
There were a lot of great scenes!
**[30:33] Mukai**
Did you all enjoy the recap, everyone?
**[30:37] Mukai**
Thank you!
**[30:42] Mukai**
Now that everyone's fired up
after seeing the recap,
**[30:46] Mukai**
let's go on to the next part.
**[30:47] Mukai**
Next up is the Chainsaw Man
Concert Stage! A round of applause!
**[30:54] Mukai**
We're going to start this off with TOOBOE-san,
**[30:59] Mukai**
the band behind the episode 4 ending theme!
**[31:04] Mukai**
Thank you!
**[31:06] Mukai**
Episode four features Denji's
battle with the Bat Devil,
**[31:10] Mukai**
and the dream battle with the Leech Devil.
**[31:12] Mukai**
Will Denji's dream of fondling
boobs ever come true?
**[31:15] Mukai**
Episode four was just packed.
**[31:19] Mukai**
And the ending, of course, had that cute
dance with Power I'm sure you all remember.
**[31:25] Mukai**
It was famous for going viral
on TikTok as the "Jozai Dance."
**[31:32] Mukai**
Let's see what they have in store for us.
**[31:37] Mukai**
This is a concert, so you're
all allowed to stand up!
**[31:42] Mukai**
And also, if you've got those penlights,
I'm not sure if they're okay.
**[31:47] Mukai**
Sorry, I've only been to
concerts for anime singers.
**[31:51] Mukai**
I'm not really sure what
the etiquette is here.
**[31:53] Mukai**
But go on and stand up...
There might be people in the back.
**[31:57] Mukai**
But you're allowed to make some noise!
**[32:00] Mukai**
Are you all ready?
**[32:03] Mukai**
Are you all ready?
**[32:07] Mukai**
Thank you!
**[32:11] Mukai**
Now...
**[32:14] Mukai**
Let's hear it!
**[32:17] Mukai**
"Jozai" by TOOBOE!
**[32:28] Singer**
Are all enjoying Chainsaw Fes?
**[32:30] Singer**
Let's keep the energy level up!
**[32:32] Singer**
Clap along!
**[33:08] Singer**
Join in, everyone!
**[33:44] Singer**
Clap along and let's have some fun!
**[34:12] Singer**
You guys on the second floor!
**[34:48] Singer**
Let's all sing together!
**[35:39] Singer**
Thank you, this has been TOOBOE.
**[35:47] Mukai**
Thank you! Thank you, TOOBOE-san!
**[35:52] Mukai**
That was wonderful, wasn't it everyone?
**[35:55] Mukai**
Let's have another big round of applause!
**[35:58] Mukai**
Wonderful. Thank you.
**[36:01] Mukai**
That was so cool. That was amazing.
**[36:05] Mukai**
That was great. Wonderful.
**[36:08] Mukai**
I'm so glad I took this job.
**[36:10] Mukai**
Yes, thank you.
**[36:12] Mukai**
Now, everyone, sit down.
**[36:15] Mukai**
Hearing that made me want to dance
the Jozai Dance along with Power.
**[36:19] Mukai**
She was so cute, right?
**[36:21] Mukai**
That was great... Really great.
**[36:25] Mukai**
And the dance, too.
**[36:27] Mukai**
Can I do it?
**[36:44] Mukai**
Thank you! I did it!
**[36:50] Mukai**
I'm 43 years old and that's the first time
in my life anybody's called me cute.
**[36:53] Mukai**
Thank you.
**[36:55] Mukai**
Now, after that performance...
**[36:58] Mukai**
Since this is the Chainsaw Fes,
**[37:00] Mukai**
we've got a lot of things going on,
but we definitely want you to see this.
**[37:04] Mukai**
Live readings by the cast of the anime!
**[37:07] Mukai**
We'll be going through the best scenes
from the first half of the anime,
**[37:13] Mukai**
so look forward to it!
**[37:15] Mukai**
Let's get to it! A live reading
of the Chainsaw Man anime!
**[37:18] Mukai**
Go ahead!
**[37:27] Sign**
ARRIVAL IN TOKYO
**[37:39] Denji**
Udon?!
**[37:41] Denji**
The udon?
**[37:49] Denji**
Is it cool if I eat my udon?
**[37:52] Makima**
Are you all right?
Can you eat on your own?
**[37:55] Denji**
I can...
**[37:58] Denji**
I can not.
**[37:59] Makima**
Here. Say, "Ahh."
**[38:01] Denji**
Ahh...
**[38:04] Makima**
Is it good?
**[38:05] Denji**
Woof!
**[38:06] Makima**
You are really sweet to be
enjoying soggy udon this much.
**[38:12] Makima**
A lot like a dog, actually.
**[38:17] Denji**
Um... what's your name?
**[38:21] Makima**
Makima.
**[38:23] Denji**
Miss Makima... is there a type
of guy you l-like?
**[38:34] Makima**
I'm into the "Denji" type.
**[38:38] Denji**
Denji?
**[38:43] Denji**
Dude, that's me.
**[38:59] Sign**
MEOWY'S WHEREABOUTS
**[39:10] Makima**
If Public Safety kills
a civilian hunter's devil,
**[39:12] Makima**
we're guilty of obstructing their business.
**[39:15] Makima**
Normally, you'd be arrested
for that kind of thing.
**[39:18] Makima**
Power, you're going to need
to think a bit more before acting.
**[39:23] Makima**
And you'll have to get her
under control, Denji.
**[39:26] Denji**
I'm in trouble, too?
**[39:27] Denji**
Before becoming a Fiend,
Power was the Blood Devil...
**[39:31] Denji**
So she's got a talent
for using blood in battle,
**[39:35] Denji**
but also gets worked up pretty easily.
**[39:38] Denji**
Maybe she's not cut out to be
a Devil Hunter after all.
**[39:40] Power**
It...
**[39:43] Power**
I-It was he who commanded me to kill!
**[39:47] Denji**
I did not! How can you just lie like that?!
**[39:50] Power**
It is no lie! It was him!
**[39:52] Power**
The human ordered me to kill
this devil! That's the truth!
**[39:56] Denji**
What a creep!
**[39:58] Denji**
Miss Makima, this devil's a total liar!
**[40:02] Denji**
You oughta arrest her right now!
**[40:03] Denji**
You're under arrest for the crime
of being a fake-ass liar!
**[40:06] Power**
Not true! It was by his command!
**[40:08] Power**
Devils do not lie! It is only humans who do!
**[40:12] Denji**
No one ever said that!
**[40:14] Denji**
And you're the reason why!
Dumbass! Shitty liar!
**[40:17] Power**
Humans and your filthy lies!
**[40:19] Power**
I only did as I was told!
**[40:22] Denji**
Why the hell do you talk like
that anyway?! It's so creepy!
**[40:26] Makima**
Could you quiet down?
**[40:31] Power**
Y-Yes.
**[40:34] Makima**
Very good, Power.
**[40:37] Makima**
Honestly, I don't really care
who got in whose way.
**[40:41] Makima**
I want to see the two of you
working well together.
**[40:44] Makima**
Can you show me that?
**[40:47] Power**
We... W-We can.
**[41:10] Dialogue**
RESCUE
**[41:18] Denji**
What's for lunch?
**[41:20] Aki**
Curry.
**[41:22] Denji**
Sweet!
**[41:26] Denji**
The hell's this? A devil?
**[41:36] Power**
What a pitiful home this is!
**[41:42] Makima**
I'd like you to put Power up
in one of your rooms, Hayakawa.
**[41:47] Makima**
I think you'll make a good leash
for the two of them.
**[41:52] Aki**
Is there some reason why you're sending
me all these psychos, ma'am?
**[41:53] Power**
Stop right there, Meowy!
**[41:55] Makima**
It's because I trust you
more than anyone else.
**[41:57] Power**
It seems you've got quite a feast!
**[41:59] Denji**
Damn it, who said you could come in?!
**[42:00] Power**
'Tis mine now!
**[42:02] Denji**
Gimme my super toast back!
**[42:04] Aki**
Oh... okay.
**[42:06] Makima**
It'd be a little odd to have her
staying at the office indefinitely.
**[42:13] Makima**
Okay.
**[42:15] Makima**
You don't need to worry.
Power said she would behave.
**[42:20] Makima**
It'll be fine.
**[42:25] Power**
Vegetables are revolting!
**[42:26] Power**
Away!
**[42:27] Denji**
Carrot!
**[42:29] Aki**
Don't fling your vegetables!
**[42:31] Denji**
Damn it...
**[42:32] Denji**
Show some respect to the farmers
who grew the veggies, devil!
**[42:37] Power**
The toilet?
**[42:39] Power**
I prefer to only occasionally flush my feces.
**[42:42] Aki**
Flush it!
**[42:43] Denji**
It stinks.
**[42:44] Power**
I prefer to only occasionally bathe.
**[42:46] Aki**
Get in there!
**[42:48] Denji**
You reek!
**[42:49] Power**
You two are absurd.
**[42:51] Power**
How delicate these humans be.
**[42:54] Power**
Aren't they, Meowy?
**[43:06] Dialogue**
GUN DEVIL
**[43:14] Makima**
I hate making you do all this paperwork.
**[43:16] Makima**
It's almost like killing
the Bat Devil was a bad thing.
**[43:22] Makima**
Is something bothering you, Denji?
**[43:28] Denji**
Y'know, I...
**[43:30] Denji**
There's something I was chasing after,
and I finally managed to get it.
**[43:35] Denji**
But once I did, it wasn't...
**[43:38] Denji**
as big of a deal as I thought.
**[43:42] Denji**
Now I'm wondering, if I go after
something else, and get my hands on it,
**[43:48] Denji**
am I just gonna think
I was happier during the chase?
**[43:56] Denji**
That's, like... total bullshit, isn't it?
**[44:02] Makima**
What exactly are you talking about, Denji?
**[44:05] Denji**
I touched boobs for the first time,
but it wasn't that great.
**[44:20] Makima**
Denji...
**[44:21] Makima**
I believe that, when it comes to sex,
**[44:24] Makima**
the better you understand
the other person, the better it feels.
**[44:32] Makima**
But it's hard to understand
how someone else feels.
**[44:38] Makima**
So, start with observing
the hand, carefully.
**[44:44] Makima**
How long are their fingers?
**[44:50] Makima**
Are their palms cold?
**[44:54] Makima**
Are they warm?
**[44:57] Makima**
What's the shape of their ears?
**[45:04] Makima**
Ever had your finger bitten?
**[45:06] Denji**
B-Bit...?
**[45:07] Makima**
Remember this.
**[45:09] Makima**
So that even if you can't see,
**[45:13] Makima**
you'll be able to tell it's me,
from how hard I'm biting.
**[45:20] Makima**
Memorize it.
**[45:32] Denji**
I... got it.
**[46:05] Makima**
Denji...
**[46:08] Makima**
I'd like to ask you to do something for me.
**[46:11] Makima**
Can I?
**[46:14] Denji**
Yeah.
**[46:21] Makima**
I want you to beat the Gun Devil.
**[46:24] Denji**
Gun Devil?
**[46:36] Mukai**
Thank you! Thank you!
**[46:41] Mukai**
That was a live reading of the best scenes
from the first half of the anime.
**[46:46] Mukai**
Wasn't that amazing?
**[46:48] Mukai**
That was really cool, wasn't it?
**[46:50] Mukai**
That was really something...
**[46:54] Mukai**
What we've just seen is
the work of a real pro.
**[46:56] Mukai**
So again, thank you to all the cast.
**[46:59] Mukai**
While we're waiting for them to
get our next performance ready,
**[47:02] Mukai**
I'd like to talk to the cast
about what we've just seen.
**[47:06] Mukai**
Let's start by having Hamano-san
and Taichi-san come on stage!
**[47:11] Taichi**
Thank you.
**[47:12] Mukai**
Thank you very much.
**[47:13] Mukai**
Just head right over here.
**[47:17] Mukai**
So this was the first half, from before
the two of you appear in the story.
**[47:23] Mukai**
What did you think?
**[47:25] Hamano**
I think Denji needs to suffer.
**[47:29] Hamano**
I mean, he gets all the good stuff
happening to him.
**[47:33] Cast**
Oh, I see.
**[47:34] Mukai**
If this is all you see, yeah.
**[47:35] Hamano**
Yes, if this is all you see.
**[47:36] Mukai**
Lots of bad stuff comes later.
**[47:40] Mukai**
What about you, Taichi-san?
**[47:41] Taichi**
Well, since we weren't in the first half,
we weren't there for the recording.
**[47:47] Taichi**
So seeing them up there it's like,
"Wow, they're real voice actors."
**[47:52] Mukai**
It feels like you're a fan.
**[47:54] Taichi**
"Oh, it's voice acting."
**[47:55] Hamano**
You see it like you would a fan.
**[47:56] Taichi**
Yeah, it's like, "Wow, the voice
actors for Chainsaw Man!"
**[48:00] Taichi**
So it was a lot of fun to see.
**[48:03] Mukai**
So are live readings like this a little
different than an actual recording sessions?
**[48:08] Hamano**
I've never done one before.
**[48:10] Mukai**
- You haven't?
- That's right.
**[48:11] Taichi**
They're not that common, I don't think.
**[48:14] Hamano**
Yeah... I know you've got to be nervous.
**[48:18] Taichi**
I'm sure. You don't actually record
with this many people watching.
**[48:22] Hamano**
It feels like they might get
mad at you for something.
**[48:26] Mukai**
No, I don't think they would.
**[48:30] Mukai**
But later on, you'll be participating as well.
**[48:36] Taichi**
That's right. We need to remember that
we're Chainsaw Man voice actors, too.
**[48:38] Mukai**
Why'd you forget?
**[48:39] Mukai**
You're not here as a fan, are you?
**[48:41] Hamano**
Mukai-san, are you going to participate?
**[48:44] Mukai**
I ain't doing a thing.
**[48:46] Taichi**
Why not? It's a special occasion. A festival.
**[48:50] Taichi**
He could give it a try.
**[48:51] Taichi**
He can join in.
**[48:52] Mukai**
Okay, who would I play?
**[48:54] Taichi**
Who'd be good?
**[48:55] Hamano**
Silhouette-wise, you're closest to Pochita.
**[48:56] Taichi**
True.
**[48:58] Mukai**
Do I look like a guy who could
sound like Shiori Izawa?
**[49:03] Mukai**
It's just the silhouette that's similar.
**[49:05] Mukai**
Just enjoy my shadow.
**[49:06] Hamano**
I am nervous about what's coming up, though.
**[49:09] Mukai**
We'll be doing a bunch
of different segments next.
**[49:12] Mukai**
When the lights go down,
that means a segment is over,
**[49:14] Mukai**
so give a round of applause
for the people on stage.
**[49:19] Mukai**
I think that'd be great.
**[49:21] Mukai**
And now we've got something
a little special planned,
**[49:29] Mukai**
it's the special event version of "Our Music"!
**[49:34] Mukai**
This is a special event version
**[49:36] Mukai**
of the recently concluded
Chainsaw Man special radio program,
**[49:39] Mukai**
where they would bring in guest
artists and talk about the show.
**[49:44] Mukai**
Today we'll be talking to seven members
of the cast and three artists,
**[49:51] Mukai**
so it's quite a lineup.
**[49:52] Mukai**
Let's have our cast come up.
**[49:56] Mukai**
Come onto the stage!
**[49:59] Mukai**
Welcome them with a big round of applause.
**[50:01] Mukai**
Hamano-san and Taichi-san, if you
could take a seat over there.
**[50:03] Hamano**
Thank you.
**[50:05] Cast**
Thank you.
**[50:07] Mukai**
This is an amazing lineup.
**[50:12] Mukai**
You guys were all amazing, really.
**[50:15] Mukai**
So, here's our seven cast members!
**[50:20] Mukai**
Now let's have our artists come in!
**[50:23] Mukai**
First up is TOOBOE-san,
who just put on a performance for us!
**[50:29] Mukai**
Thank you!
**[50:31] Mukai**
Thank you for coming, TOOBOE-san.
**[50:35] Mukai**
Now... thank you.
**[50:38] Mukai**
Like I said, we have three artists.
**[50:42] Mukai**
The other two will be putting
on a performance later,
**[50:45] Mukai**
but let's have them join
in this event for us.
**[50:47] Mukai**
It's Syudou-san and Ano-san! Come on out!
**[50:52] Mukai**
Thank you! Give them
a big round of applause!
**[50:58] Mukai**
Thank you for coming today.
**[51:02] Mukai**
Now, let's get started.
**[51:04] Mukai**
TOOBOE-san, thank you for that performance.
**[51:06] Tooboe**
Thank you. It was a lot of fun.
**[51:08] Unknown**
It was amazing.
**[51:10] Tooboe**
Thank you.
**[51:11] Unknown**
You kicked ass.
**[51:12] Tooboe**
I went, like... gwah-ah,
so my throat hurts now.
**[51:15] Tooboe**
I'm so sorry.
**[51:17] Tooboe**
I'll be careful.
**[51:18] Mukai**
You were wonderful.
**[51:19] Mukai**
And of course, Syudou-san, Ano-san,
we've got questions for both you.
**[51:25] Mukai**
Thank you for coming.
**[51:27] All**
Thank you.
**[51:28] Mukai**
Thank you!
**[51:29] Mukai**
Now, everyone sit down.
**[51:32] Mukai**
This is "Our Music." It's a talk segment.
**[51:36] Mukai**
Now, the artists have
questions for the cast.
**[51:41] Mukai**
Let's start with Ano-san.
**[51:42] ano**
Yes.
**[51:43] Mukai**
I'm told she has a question for Toya-san.
**[51:47] Mukai**
What is it?
**[51:49] ano**
This is a pretty common question,
but what do you like about Denji?
**[51:55] Mukai**
That's a good question.
**[51:57] Mukai**
That's great.
**[51:58] Mukai**
A great question.
**[51:59] Toya**
I think it's a good question.
**[52:01] Toya**
Okay, so what I like about Denji is how...
**[52:04] Toya**
and this is something I saw
in both the manga and the anime,
**[52:09] Toya**
he'll do something really
bizarre all of a sudden.
**[52:12] Toya**
He'll say he wants to do
something and just do it.
**[52:16] Toya**
I really like his... what's
the word? Decisiveness?
**[52:21] Toya**
And the ideas he gets, like the dream battle,
the perpetual motion machine...
**[52:28] Toya**
These really unique ideas that only
he can come up with. I like that.
**[52:34] Mukai**
That's right.
**[52:36] Mukai**
He's the kind of character who can really
be a handful for more normal people.
**[52:42] Toya**
That's right.
**[52:43] Mukai**
Like Aki, Kobeni, they have
a rough time dealing with him.
**[52:49] Mukai**
So Ano-san, he says that's what he likes.
**[52:55] ano**
Thank you.
**[52:57] Toya**
So let me ask you...
**[52:58] Mukai**
Sorry, um... this is really weird.
**[53:02] Toya**
It feels like we've never met.
**[53:03] Toya**
Well, we never have met.
**[53:05] Mukai**
You haven't?
**[53:06] Toya**
Yes, that's part of it.
**[53:08] ano**
Oh, I want to know your favorite
character in Chainsaw Man.
**[53:13] Mukai**
I want to hear that, too!
**[53:14] Toya**
It's a good question.
**[53:15] Mukai**
You say that for everything.
**[53:17] Mukai**
You use the phrase
"good question" too lightly.
**[53:19] Mukai**
So, Toya-san.
**[53:20] Toya**
My favorite character is... I'm not sure.
**[53:24] Toya**
Makima-san.
**[53:25] Mukai**
Oh, it's her?
**[53:27] Toya**
She's the best.
**[53:29] Fairouz**
But during the recording, when
I made my first appearance as Power,
**[53:34] Fairouz**
he said, "I love Power so much!
I love her better than anybody!"
**[53:36] Unknown**
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
**[53:39] Fairouz**
Liar!
**[53:40] Fairouz**
Humans and your filthy lies!
**[53:42] Toya**
No one has ever said that!
**[53:44] Mukai**
You're DDD, Daredemo Daisuki Denji
(Denji's Devotion doesn't Discriminate).
**[53:48] Fairouz**
Daredemo Daisuki Denji.
**[53:50] Mukai**
Don't DDD on us.
**[53:52] Toya**
But I really do think it's Makima-san.
**[53:55] Toya**
She's just a great character...
**[53:57] Toya**
She says all the things you'd
want to hear. I love that.
**[54:02] Mukai**
Makima's kind of a difficult character.
**[54:05] Mukai**
Like from Himeno's perspective
she'd be totally different.
**[54:10] Unknown**
That's right. Different characters
perceive other characters differently.
**[54:14] Unknown**
But Makima's really mysterious.
**[54:19] Unknown**
She has this mysterious power that kind
of puts a spell on everybody's heart.
**[54:24] Unknown**
So I can see why Denji, why
Toya-kun would fall in love with her.
**[54:28] Unknown**
But yeah, when I heard what
Fai-chan said, I remembered...
**[54:32] Unknown**
"Oh yeah, when we were recording..."
**[54:35] Unknown**
When Himeno showed up, I remember him
saying "You're great, Himeno."
**[54:40] Unknown**
I think I remember that!
**[54:42] Toya**
Well, you were great.
**[54:44] Sakata**
Actually, I think I was told the same thing...
**[54:48] Unknown**
Liar!
**[54:50] Sakata**
He really is DDD.
**[54:52] Mukai**
You said it to everybody.
**[54:54] Mukai**
I guess he narrowed it down
to one character for you.
**[54:57] ano**
Well, I'm glad I figured
out that he's a little DD.
**[55:02] Mukai**
Well, you learned something. Good.
**[55:05] Mukai**
It's nice to be able to hear this stuff.
**[55:08] Mukai**
So, Ano-san, do you have
something to ask Sakata-san?
**[55:13] ano**
I want to know what you like about Aki...
**[55:16] ano**
What you like most.
**[55:19] Sakata**
That's a good question.
**[55:22] Sakata**
They're all good questions!
**[55:23] Mukai**
Everybody else, remember to say that, too.
**[55:27] Sakata**
Well, I guess what I like most about Aki
**[55:31] Sakata**
is that in the end he can't
give up on being human.
**[55:35] Sakata**
He's obsessed with revenge,
**[55:38] Sakata**
but there's a part of him that can't
abandon others, that always helps them...
**[55:43] Sakata**
That's something wonderful, I think.
**[55:46] Sakata**
That's all.
**[55:48] Mukai**
That was a pretty good answer,
don't you think, Ano-san?
**[55:51] Ano**
Me too.
**[55:53] Sakata**
Thank you—
**[55:54] Sakata**
You like Aki, too?
**[55:56] Ano**
I like that about Aki.
**[55:58] Sakata**
I see.
**[55:59] Unknown**
He's not your favorite character.
**[56:01] Mukai**
Who is your favorite character?
**[56:03] Unknown**
I want to know.
**[56:04] Ano**
It's Denji.
**[56:08] Mukai**
Look at the gloom on Sakata-san's face.
**[56:12] Ano**
Everybody's a DD.
**[56:16] Ano**
Also, I want to know what scene you
thought was saddest during recording?
**[56:20] Mukai**
That's a good question.
**[56:22] Mukai**
Wait, now I'm saying it.
**[56:25] Mukai**
I want to hear this.
**[56:28] Sakata**
Me? Are you asking me?
**[56:29] Mukai**
Yes. The saddest scene.
**[56:31] Mukai**
That'd be episode eight, obviously.
**[56:35] Mukai**
The end of episode eight.
**[56:38] Mukai**
The one where Himeno offers
up everything she has to save Aki,
**[56:46] Mukai**
up until she goes away.
That was the saddest.
**[56:51] Mukai**
They took a photo of me at
the recording studio looking miserable.
**[56:56] Toya**
It's an amazing photo.
**[56:59] Toya**
Even before the recording began he
just had a look of misery about him.
**[57:02] Toya**
He was down the whole time.
**[57:04] Unknown**
I didn't even realize he was there.
**[57:05] Toya**
Yeah, I didn't even know he was there!
**[57:06] Fairouz**
I said, "Oh, hello there."
**[57:08] Fairouz**
And he was like, "Fai-chan, it's me!"
**[57:11] Toya**
He was so different.
**[57:15] Mukai**
So if you made him feel that depressed,
**[57:17] Mukai**
Taichi-san, Hamano-san,
how do you feel about that?
**[57:19] Taichi**
Yeah, I feel bad.
**[57:22] Unknown**
You're apologizing?
**[57:23] Hamano**
In our first appearance, we saw him
looking as sad as he was going to get.
**[57:28] Hamano**
And it was like, "Oh, we're
going to do something bad today."
**[57:33] Taichi**
We're finishing him off.
**[57:34] Hamano**
It was a little bit awkward, definitely.
**[57:37] Mukai**
Yes, of course.
**[57:38] Mukai**
It was a really sad scene.
**[57:42] Mukai**
Ano-san, are you happy you got to hear that?
**[57:44] Ano**
Yes.
**[57:45] Mukai**
Thank you.
**[57:46] Ano**
Thank you.
**[57:47] Mukai**
You don't get a lot of chances
to ask questions like this.
**[57:49] Mukai**
Now, moving on. TOOBOE-san,
do you have any questions?
**[57:55] Tooboe**
Yes, I've got a question for Fairouz Ai-san.
**[57:59] Tooboe**
It's been a while.
**[58:00] Fairouz**
It's good to see you again. Let's hear it.
**[58:02] Tooboe**
So with the Chainsaw Man anime,
**[58:04] Tooboe**
I think it was you and I who did the most
to make Power an important character.
**[58:12] Tooboe**
Since I did episode four.
**[58:15] Tooboe**
So when you were playing Power,
**[58:17] Tooboe**
was there anything that you
gave special attention to,
**[58:19] Tooboe**
in terms of her personality
or the kind of character she was?
**[58:21] Mukai**
That's great. That's a good...
**[58:23] Fairouz**
That's a good question!
**[58:24] Mukai**
Thank you.
**[58:25] Sakata**
There it is.
**[58:26] Mukai**
Thank you.
**[58:27] Mukai**
So, let's hear your answer.
**[58:29] Fairouz**
So I thought about why readers of the manga,
**[58:32] Fairouz**
why people who liked Power...
what they liked about her.
**[58:38] Fairouz**
She doesn't have this kind
of really cutesy personality.
**[58:43] Fairouz**
She's really reckless.
**[58:45] Fairouz**
She looks like she's not
thinking about anything...
**[58:47] Fairouz**
but maybe she is... wait, no she isn't.
**[58:49] Fairouz**
She gets everybody
caught up in her business,
**[58:50] Fairouz**
she's totally self-centered
and puts herself first.
**[58:53] Fairouz**
These are all things that everybody
has inside them but wants to hide,
**[58:59] Fairouz**
and she just exposes them all.
**[59:01] Fairouz**
And that's what makes her seem cute.
**[59:04] Fairouz**
So I didn't want to make her
seem really weak and girly.
**[59:08] Fairouz**
So I was careful about that.
**[59:10] Fairouz**
I wanted her to sound natural,
but for her selfishness to sound cute.
**[59:15] Fairouz**
Not to come across as somebody you hated.
**[59:17] Fairouz**
I tried to strike a good balance with that.
**[59:20] Fairouz**
I did a great job, didn't I?
**[59:25] Tooboe**
You were great.
**[59:26] Fairouz**
Thank you.
**[59:28] Mukai**
That was wonderful.
**[59:30] Tooboe**
Power-chan really has
nothing going on in her head.
**[59:33] Fairouz**
That's right.
**[59:35] Tooboe**
So when she puts on glasses to fight Kishibe,
**[59:37] Tooboe**
she's really just putting
on the glasses and nothing else.
**[59:40] Fairouz**
That's right.
**[59:41] Tooboe**
She thinks she's smart, but that's all.
**[59:42] Fairouz**
Yes, that's right. It didn't actually do anything.
**[59:43] Tooboe**
That's really cute.
**[59:45] Fairouz**
Yeah.
**[59:46] Tooboe**
Thank you!
**[59:46] Fairouz**
Thank you!
**[59:48] Mukai**
Yeah, characters like Power
who aren't thinking about anything
**[59:51] Mukai**
are kind of the opposite
of characters like Kobeni.
**[59:56] Mukai**
Takahashi-san, what did
you think about Power?
**[59:58] Takahashi**
I love Power! She's so cute!
**[1:00:01] Fairouz**
Is she your favorite?
**[1:00:02] Takahashi**
She's... my favorite!
**[1:00:03] Mukai**
No, no, no...
**[1:00:05] Takahashi**
She's my... favorite.
**[1:00:07] Mukai**
She has her own character, after all.
**[1:00:10] Fairouz**
I'm happy to hear that.
**[1:00:11] Mukai**
So Takahashi-san, you're a big fan of Power?
**[1:00:14] Takahashi**
I am. You know... there was that collab café.
**[1:00:18] Takahashi**
I collected all the Power-chans.
**[1:00:20] Faiz**
Really? Wow!
**[1:00:21] Takahashi**
She's so cute.
**[1:00:21] ---**
**[1:00:22] Faiz**
In the anime she was kinda mean to you.
**[1:00:25] Takahashi**
Yeah, she laughed at me a lot...
**[1:00:27] Takahashi**
But I really agree with what you said,
**[1:00:32] Takahashi**
that she's selfish but
you can't hate her for it.
**[1:00:37] Takahashi**
That's a lot of what makes her cute.
**[1:00:39] Faiz**
That makes me happy. Thank you.
**[1:00:42] MC**
It's a nice happy world we have here,
wonderful. Wonderful. So peaceful.
**[1:00:46] MC**
Now, TOOBOE-san, if you
have other questions.
**[1:00:49] Tooboe**
Yes, one for Hamano-san.
**[1:00:52] Tooboe**
Samurai Sword is one
of my favorite characters.
**[1:00:57] Tooboe**
My favorite's Power-chan. Sorry.
**[1:00:59] Hamano**
That's okay.
**[1:01:00] Tooboe**
She's one of my favorites.
**[1:01:01] Hamano**
One of them.
**[1:01:02] Tooboe**
I really like his design. And I was really
impressed by the voice you did for him.
**[1:01:09] Tooboe**
But Samurai Sword's got
this kind of childlike side,
**[1:01:13] Tooboe**
where he really loves his Granddad.
**[1:01:15] Tooboe**
But he's the villain.
**[1:01:17] Tooboe**
So I want to hear what you did
to balance those two things.
**[1:01:23] Hamano**
Well, this is something you
see in a lot of hero stories,
**[1:01:29] Hamano**
the villain didn't set out to be a villain.
**[1:01:33] Hamano**
He's got his own sense of justice
and what he thinks is right.
**[1:01:37] Hamano**
So I tried to kind of get that
across, tangentially, in my dialogue.
**[1:01:43] Hamano**
Everyone else sounded so
natural as their characters.
**[1:01:51] Hamano**
So I didn't try to get it
across in my intonation,
**[1:01:55] Hamano**
I tried to think about how I would
speak if I really believed what he did.
**[1:02:02] Hamano**
It was actually really challenging.
**[1:02:08] Hamano**
I did a lot of retakes, trying to combine my
vision of Samurai Sword with the director's.
**[1:02:19] Tooboe**
Thank you.
**[1:02:20] Tooboe**
He's really got an amazing voice, huh?
**[1:02:23] Tooboe**
Even just talking he sounds really cool.
**[1:02:26] Hamano**
Samurai Sword's really cool, huh?
**[1:02:29] Tooboe**
Thank you.
**[1:02:31] MC**
That's right. Even doing
an interview his voice is amazing.
**[1:02:36] Tooboe**
It's amazing.
**[1:02:37] MC**
So Toya-san, you play
Denji, who is his opponent.
**[1:02:43] MC**
What did you think about Samurai Sword?
**[1:02:45] Toya**
Samurai Sword's cool, but
the stuff he does is... awful.
**[1:02:51] Hamano**
You killed my Granddad, though!
**[1:02:53] Toya**
No, no, no...
**[1:02:54] Hamano**
You killed my Granddad, you know.
**[1:02:55] Toya**
That's not right.
**[1:02:57] Toya**
I wasn't the one
who turned him into a zombie.
**[1:03:01] Toya**
But he's really cool.
**[1:03:03] MC**
That's right. He's a cool enemy to fight.
**[1:03:10] Tooboe**
One thing I think is amazing
**[1:03:12] Tooboe**
is that you'd expect his voice
to change after he transforms,
**[1:03:16] Tooboe**
but it doesn't, and yet
it somehow still works.
**[1:03:18] Toya**
Right?
**[1:03:19] Tooboe**
He works both transformed and as a human.
**[1:03:22] MC**
He sounds great in both. It's amazing.
**[1:03:27] Hamano**
Thank you.
**[1:03:28] MC**
You did an amazing job. Thank you.
**[1:03:30] MC**
We've had a lot of questions so far.
**[1:03:33] MC**
Now, Syudou-san, if there's
something you want to ask.
**[1:03:37] Syudou**
Yes!
**[1:03:37] Syudou**
Thank you.
**[1:03:38] Syudou**
I'd like to ask Sakata-san... Sakata-kun...
**[1:03:42] Sakata**
That's a good question!
**[1:03:43] Syudou**
Too soon!
**[1:03:44] Unknown**
He hasn't asked the questions yet!
**[1:03:47] Syudou**
I once had the chance to play
a board game with Sakata-kun.
**[1:03:52] Syudou**
It was a lot of fun.
**[1:03:55] Sakata**
It was fun, wasn't it?
**[1:03:56] Syudou**
We'd never met before... and I'm sure it's
different for everybody else here.
**[1:04:03] Syudou**
But for me, when I'm at an event
or something with people I've never met,
**[1:04:06] Syudou**
and I'm supposed to talk to
them or do something with them,
**[1:04:10] Syudou**
how do you break the ice?
**[1:04:14] Syudou**
I'm really curious about that.
**[1:04:17] Sakata**
That is a good question.
**[1:04:18] MC**
It is a good question.
**[1:04:20] MC**
Let's hear your answer.
**[1:04:21] Sakata**
The most important thing is
to greet them with a smile.
**[1:04:27] MC**
Greet them with a smile?
**[1:04:27] Sakata**
Really.
**[1:04:29] Sakata**
Then look them in the eye when you talk.
**[1:04:30] Sakata**
And there's a magic question you can ask.
**[1:04:33] Sakata**
"What do you do on your day off?
**[1:04:36] Sakata**
How do you spend your free time?"
**[1:04:38] Sakata**
You ask that and hope it
leads to a conversation.
**[1:04:41] Toya**
That works for you?
**[1:04:43] Sakata**
I'm not sure.
**[1:04:44] Sakata**
Maybe?
**[1:04:46] Sakata**
Maybe...
**[1:04:47] Sakata**
To tell the truth I'm actually really shy.
**[1:04:53] MC**
You're shy?
**[1:04:54] Sakata**
I was today! You saw at the start!
**[1:04:57] MC**
Yeah, I did.
**[1:04:59] MC**
You were really shy.
**[1:05:01] MC**
Are any of you guys not shy?
**[1:05:05] Toya**
Fai-chan! Fai-chan!
**[1:05:07] Faiz**
Yup!
**[1:05:07] Faiz**
I'm not shy at all!
**[1:05:08] Faiz**
But these two warmed up to
each other really quickly.
**[1:05:11] Unknown**
Yeah.
**[1:05:13] Sakata**
We had a lot in common.
**[1:05:14] Faiz**
The next thing I knew they were like
"We stayed at each other's houses!"
**[1:05:18] Faiz**
It was really cute.
**[1:05:20] Sakata**
No, no. We didn't say that.
**[1:05:23] Faiz**
Actually, the first time we met
was for another recording,
**[1:05:26] Faiz**
but that was a long time before Chainsaw Man
**[1:05:30] Faiz**
so when we met again it was
like meeting for the first time.
**[1:05:32] Faiz**
And so I wanted to get to know you,
**[1:05:35] Faiz**
so I said show me your Kindle.
**[1:05:39] Faiz**
I try to learn about people by looking
at their Kindle purchase history.
**[1:05:42] Unknown**
You did!
**[1:05:43] Unknown**
What's up with that?
**[1:05:44] Sakata**
That was when I came to see
the recording of episode 1.
**[1:05:48] Faiz**
So I looked at his ebook purchase history...
**[1:05:51] Sakata**
Yeah, I was like "Please don't look at this."
**[1:05:54] Faiz**
And that's how I got to know him.
**[1:05:56] Faiz**
That was the fastest way.
**[1:05:58] Unknown**
His kindle, huh?
**[1:06:00] Taichi**
Only you would think of that. Wow.
**[1:06:03] Unknown**
That's terrifying.
**[1:06:04] Toya**
She really did it.
**[1:06:05] Taichi**
I definitely wouldn't want
anybody seeing mine.
**[1:06:07] MC**
Right.
**[1:06:09] MC**
You freaked out everyone in the back row.
**[1:06:11] Faiz**
Why?!
**[1:06:12] Taichi**
I think that's amazing, though.
I've never heard of anything like that.
**[1:06:14] Faiz**
Really?
**[1:06:16] Sakata**
So my answer is to ask to see their Kindle.
**[1:06:21] Taichi**
See what ebooks they have.
**[1:06:23] Unknown**
That may be a bad idea.
**[1:06:24] Unknown Male**
That's a little too much for me.
**[1:06:27] MC**
Syudou-san, how is that for advice.
**[1:06:30] Syudou**
Well, I think I will try the Kindle thing.
**[1:06:33] MC**
Thank you.
**[1:06:35] MC**
Now, I'm told you have another question.
**[1:06:37] Syudou**
Yes, I do.
**[1:06:38] Syudou**
This is for Ise-san.
**[1:06:41] Syudou**
I've always loved anime and
I've listened to a lot of voice actor radio.
**[1:06:45] Syudou**
And I've heard that as a voice actor,
**[1:06:49] Syudou**
when the character you're
playing dies, it's really hard.
**[1:06:59] Syudou**
This is a spoiler, but Himeno-senpai
does die... I guess that's not a spoiler.
**[1:07:05] Ise**
It's fine, yes.
**[1:07:06] Syudou**
So I'm curious how you
felt doing that scene.
**[1:07:12] Ise**
Well, I'd read the story to begin with.
**[1:07:17] Ise**
So, of course, I knew what role
Himeno played in the story.
**[1:07:24] Ise**
And I think it's a really big honor
as an actress to be given a role like that,
**[1:07:30] Ise**
it makes you really happy.
**[1:07:32] Ise**
Of course, you'd make more money
**[1:07:35] Ise**
by playing a character that
survives until the very last episode.
**[1:07:39] Ise**
But well, Himeno was the character
in Chainsaw Man I wanted to do most.
**[1:07:47] Ise**
She dies before the story ends,
**[1:07:51] Ise**
but the way she dies, for the sake
of Aki, for everybody else,
**[1:07:56] Ise**
I think I didn't have any regrets about that.
**[1:08:01] Ise**
I died satisfied.
**[1:08:05] MC**
You died satisfied.
**[1:08:07] MC**
That's quite a phrase.
**[1:08:10] MC**
Sakata-san is getting depressed
listening to you.
**[1:08:17] Sakata**
I keep seeing that scene
in my head again and again.
**[1:08:20] MC**
Yeah.
**[1:08:22] MC**
Well, characters die
in a lot of different ways.
**[1:08:25] MC**
Sawatari for instance.
**[1:08:27] Taichi**
Yes. That's right.
**[1:08:27] MC**
Her death was kind of mysterious, though.
**[1:08:30] Taichi**
Yes.
**[1:08:31] Taichi**
It was just kinda like, "Huh? She's dead"?
**[1:08:37] Taichi**
But, well...
**[1:08:39] Taichi**
It kind of makes you happy to play
a character who dies before the show ends.
**[1:08:43] Unknown**
I know!
**[1:08:44] MC**
Happy?
**[1:08:45] Taichi**
Yes, that's right.
**[1:08:46] Taichi**
It feels like they chose you
for that role for a reason.
**[1:08:54] Taichi**
Especially for us, the bad guys.
**[1:08:57] Taichi**
Since we're part of the show's big finale.
**[1:09:04] Taichi**
It feels like, "Wow, I've gotten to the point
where they'll give me these kinds of roles."
**[1:09:10] MC**
And Kobeni survived.
**[1:09:12] Unknown**
That's right.
**[1:09:13] Unknown**
Of course surviving means you
get to be in more episodes.
**[1:09:16] Unknown**
Yes, that's right.
**[1:09:17] MC**
Yes, it was good for you that she survived.
**[1:09:21] MC**
But I guess everybody's
got their own thoughts
**[1:09:23] MC**
about being in different types
of stories, huh, Syudou-san?
**[1:09:26] Syudou**
Yes, that's right. Thank you.
**[1:09:28] Syudou**
I'm so glad I was able to
hear that directly.
**[1:09:30] MC**
Thank you for all these wonderful questions.
**[1:09:32] ---**
Thank you.
**[1:09:35] MC**
We got some questions from Twitter
**[1:09:37] MC**
but unfortunately, we don't have
enough time to answer them. Sorry.
**[1:09:41] MC**
We did see all you tweeted, though!
**[1:09:43] MC**
All right, we got to hear a lot of things.
**[1:09:46] MC**
Thank you all! This concludes the special
event version of "Our Music!"
**[1:09:53] All**
Thank you!
**[1:09:54] All**
Thank you!
**[1:09:57] MC**
All right, we've got more in store for you.
**[1:10:00] MC**
Send them off with a big round
of applause while we get it set up!
**[1:10:06] MC**
Thank you!
**[1:10:10] MC**
That was an amazing bow.
That was one hell of a bow.
**[1:10:14] MC**
Thank you.
**[1:10:18] MC**
It's rare you get such an amazing
group for a Q&A session.
**[1:10:23] MC**
I hope you all enjoyed that.
**[1:10:26] MC**
The artists all really love Chainsaw Man,
**[1:10:30] MC**
and you could feel that they really wanted
to know the answers to their questions.
**[1:10:37] MC**
Now, we're still getting ready,
**[1:10:40] MC**
and while we do, let's move
on to the next segment,
**[1:10:43] MC**
the Chainsaw Man Concert Stage!
**[1:10:47] MC**
Thank you!
**[1:10:50] MC**
You've already seen one performance, and
we're about halfway through the event,
**[1:10:58] MC**
so let's keep the energy up!
**[1:11:00] MC**
Our second artist is Syudou-san,
who did the episode 5 ending!
**[1:11:06] MC**
Thank you.
**[1:11:10] MC**
Episode 5, as you saw
during that live reading,
**[1:11:14] MC**
was the scene where Denji gets his
finger bitten by Makima. Remember that.
**[1:11:19] MC**
This is an unforgettable scene,
**[1:11:21] MC**
and if I'd seen it when I was a teenager
it would've given me a weird fetish,
**[1:11:27] MC**
that's just how much of an impact it has.
**[1:11:29] MC**
And that's not all.
**[1:11:31] MC**
There's also the scene where Special Division
4 gets locked on the 8th floor of a hotel.
**[1:11:36] MC**
I'm sure you all remember
the tension you felt then.
**[1:11:42] MC**
And the ending that played for that episode,
**[1:11:45] MC**
alongside an eerie video that
symbolized the Endless 8th Floor,
**[1:11:50] MC**
was unforgettable, too.
**[1:11:53] MC**
That's our second artist.
**[1:11:56] MC**
And our third performance is by
Ano-san, who did the episode 7 ending!
**[1:12:05] MC**
Episode 7 is the one with
the party for the new recruits,
**[1:12:10] MC**
and Himeno and Denji's unforgettable kiss.
**[1:12:14] MC**
That was powerful stuff.
**[1:12:16] MC**
When episode 7's ending kicked in, every
single trending topic on Twitter was about it.
**[1:12:22] MC**
That's how much of an impact
episode 7, and the ending song, had.
**[1:12:27] MC**
I hope she can make Chainsaw
Man Festival just as exciting!
**[1:12:32] MC**
Watch the dancing, too!
**[1:12:34] MC**
Let's get started. You can
stand, you can make noise!
**[1:12:40] MC**
Here we go!
**[1:12:42] MC**
Syudou's "In the Back Room"
and Ano's "Chu, Tayousei".
**[1:12:45] MC**
Let's hear both songs!
**[1:12:59] Syudou**
Let's go!
**[1:14:25] Syudou**
Let's go!
**[1:15:18] Syudou**
Chainsaw Fes!
**[1:16:35] ano**
Ano here! Are you guys all enjoying
Chainsaw Man Fes?
**[1:16:39] ano**
I hope you're having a good time!
**[1:19:35] ano**
Thank you! Bye-bye!
**[1:19:54] MC**
Thank you!
**[1:19:58] MC**
Let's have a round of applause
for Syudou-san and Ano-san.
**[1:20:00] MC**
Did you all love that?
**[1:20:03] MC**
That was amazing, wasn't it?
**[1:20:07] MC**
That was so cool.
**[1:20:11] MC**
Syudou-san really brought the house down.
**[1:20:15] MC**
I was jumping like this, too.
**[1:20:18] MC**
How about you guys?
**[1:20:21] MC**
And Ano-chan's song was so cute.
**[1:20:24] MC**
She's cute, her song's cute.
**[1:20:27] MC**
Yes...
**[1:20:29] MC**
Like this, right?
**[1:20:51] MC**
I really think you're all
going to regret calling me cute.
**[1:20:55] MC**
You're going to wonder what
the hell was wrong with you later.
**[1:20:58] MC**
But either way, that was a wonderful
performance! Thank you so much!
**[1:21:10] MC**
And we're ready for our next section,
**[1:21:15] MC**
where the cast do a live reading of the best
scenes from the last half of the anime.
**[1:21:21] MC**
Once the lights go down,
that scene is concluded,
**[1:21:26] MC**
so give the cast a big round of applause.
**[1:21:28] MC**
Now let's see which scenes they've
picked from the second half of the show!
**[1:21:32] MC**
It's time for a live reading
of the Chainsaw Man anime!
**[1:21:35] MC**
Here we go!
**[1:21:40] Sign**
THE TASTE OF A KISS
**[1:21:48] (Flashback) Himeno**
Aki, you wanna join
the private sector with me?
**[1:21:54] (Flashback) Himeno**
I received a pretty generous offer!
**[1:21:57] (Flashback) Himeno**
Instead of chasing the Gun,
**[1:21:59] (Flashback) Himeno**
we could go out for lunch,
see a movie on the way home,
**[1:22:04] (Flashback) Himeno**
and really enjoy ourselves.
**[1:22:07] (Flashback) Aki**
If you wanna go out
for drinks, I'll join you.
**[1:22:10] (Flashback) Aki**
But I have no intention
of ever going private.
**[1:22:14] (Flashback) Aki**
And I'll take your almond tofu.
**[1:22:16] (Flashback) Himeno**
Then hand me a cigarette in exchange.
**[1:22:26] Himeno**
*If Aki fights the Gun Devil, he's gonna die.*
**[1:22:32] Himeno**
*Not because we're too weak,*
**[1:22:35] Himeno**
* or because it's the kind of devil that*
* can kill hundreds of people in seconds.*
**[1:22:39] Himeno**
* It's because Aki's cool,*
* and serious, and kind...*
**[1:22:45] Himeno**
*and normal, like most people.*
**[1:22:48] Himeno**
*But...*
**[1:22:51] Denji**
Take that!
**[1:22:54] Eternity**
Ow, ow!
**[1:23:01] Eternity**
It...
**[1:23:02] Eternity**
It's over.
**[1:23:09] Himeno**
*But him?*
**[1:23:11] Denji**
Eureka, dude.
**[1:23:15] Denji**
I cut you up, and you bleed.
**[1:23:18] Denji**
I drink that blood and heal!
**[1:23:22] Denji**
I'm a fucking perpetual motion machine!
**[1:23:27] Denji**
That Nobel Prize is mine!
**[1:23:33] Himeno**
*I've never seen anyone crazier than him,*
**[1:23:37] Himeno**
*so maybe he can kill the Gun Devil!*
**[1:23:53] Sign**
GUNFIRE
**[1:24:03] Sawatari**
He's still alive, y'know.
**[1:24:05] Sawatari**
Those Devil Hunter suits are pretty sturdy.
**[1:24:08] Sawatari**
Finish him off.
**[1:24:12] Himeno**
Don't worry about me. Help Aki.
**[1:24:15] Power**
I can not. I couldn't even
follow his movements.
**[1:24:20] Himeno**
Ghost!
**[1:24:21] Ghost Devil**
No. That girl is dreadful.
**[1:24:44] Himeno**
I'll give you everything I've got...
**[1:24:47] Himeno**
So give me everything you've got.
**[1:25:01] Himeno**
*Aki can cry.*
**[1:25:12] Himeno**
* Most Devil Hunters see so many*
* people around them die,*
**[1:25:15] Himeno**
*so often, their tears run dry.*
**[1:25:19] Himeno**
*But Aki cries so easily.*
**[1:25:23] Himeno**
* I used to think it was funny*
* how he would cry in private,*
**[1:25:26] Himeno**
*after the rookies he was looking after died.*
**[1:25:35] Himeno**
* Having someone care for you*
* enough to cry like that...*
**[1:25:39] Himeno**
*must be nice.*
**[1:25:49] Samurai Sword**
Hey! Little help here?!
**[1:26:13] Himeno**
Don't die on me, Aki.
**[1:26:19] Himeno**
So that when I die...
**[1:26:26] Himeno**
You can cry for me.
**[1:26:28] Sawatari**
Snake: Swallow it whole.
**[1:26:42] Sawatari**
Leave.
**[1:27:27] Dialogue**
FROM KYOTO
**[1:27:36] Sawatari**
A bullshit power like this
is bound to be Makima.
**[1:27:41] Sawatari**
Let's get out of here while we still can.
**[1:27:43] Sideburns Man**
Damn it! I thought they killed her.
**[1:28:28] Kobeni**
You two...
**[1:28:32] Kobeni**
are with the shooters, aren't you?
**[1:28:37] Sawatari**
Snake.
**[1:28:38] Sawatari**
Tail!
**[1:28:46] Sideburns Man**
What is she, a monkey?!
**[1:29:10] Sawatari**
Shit!
**[1:29:12] Sawatari**
You can die in the van!
**[1:29:56] Kobeni**
I'm sorry I tried to kill you the other day.
**[1:30:09] Kobeni**
Apologizing for attempted murder...
What the heck?
**[1:30:35] Kobeni**
This is bad... I'm freaking out!
**[1:30:54] Kobeni**
He protected me.
**[1:30:56] Kobeni**
It's my... my fault...
**[1:31:01] Kobeni**
I... I'm just...
**[1:31:09] Kobeni**
I can't do this... This job
is going to drive me nuts!
**[1:31:18] Kobeni**
I'll have to tell Himeno
I'm quitting when I see her again.
**[1:31:36] Dialogue**
KATANA VS CHAINSAW
**[1:31:45] Samurai Sword**
You're looking sharper than before...
**[1:31:48] Samurai Sword**
Denji, what are you even fighting for?
**[1:31:52] Denji**
To protect the life I've got now, I guess?
**[1:31:56] Samurai Sword**
Public Safety got you living
the good life, is that it?
**[1:32:02] Denji**
Gotta put up with a nag and a brat...
**[1:32:06] Denji**
But I like it pretty good.
**[1:32:10] Denji**
Which is why I've gotta kick your ass,
so Ms. Makima will praise me.
**[1:32:15] Samurai Sword**
You can't beat me, man.
**[1:32:17] Denji**
What, you think you've got me beat already?
**[1:32:20] Denji**
I ain't dead yet!
**[1:32:22] Samurai Sword**
You trash!
**[1:32:47] Denji**
Where the hell is he?
**[1:32:53] PA**
*Due to an incident in one of the cars,*
**[1:32:54] PA**
* the train will now come*
* to an emergency stop.*
**[1:32:57] PA**
* The doors will open, so please*
* evacuate in an orderly fashion.*
**[1:33:01] PA**
* I repeat, due to an incident*
* in one of the cars...*
**[1:33:12] Denji**
Aw, come on, dude!
**[1:33:29] Denji**
Look... can we ban that move? Seriously.
**[1:33:33] Samurai Sword**
Keep yapping.
**[1:33:43] Samurai Sword**
You're done.
**[1:33:45] Samurai Sword**
Can't even fight anymore.
**[1:33:47] Samurai Sword**
How about it, Denji?
**[1:33:51] Samurai Sword**
Care to apologize for killing
Granddad before you die?
**[1:34:03] Denji**
I can still fight.
**[1:34:08] Denji**
I've still got a chainsaw on my head!
**[1:34:11] Samurai Sword**
Dumbass!
**[1:34:22] Samurai Sword**
Didn't Granddad teach you...
**[1:34:25] Samurai Sword**
About when to know when you're beat?
**[1:34:31] Samurai Sword**
Beg for his forgiveness,
and I'll make it quick.
**[1:34:41] Denji**
You went right after my head...
**[1:34:45] Denji**
Thanks for that, dipshit!
**[1:34:55] Denji**
Didn't the geezer teach you...
**[1:34:58] Denji**
that beasts shouldn't trust
anything a hunter says?!
**[1:35:38] MC**
Thank you!
**[1:35:41] MC**
That was a live recording
of the last half of the anime.
**[1:35:45] MC**
That was amazing.
**[1:35:48] MC**
There are so many good scenes
in the last half of the anime,
**[1:35:50] MC**
so I wasn't sure what they'd do,
**[1:35:52] MC**
but that was incredible.
**[1:35:55] MC**
They're still getting the stage ready,
**[1:35:59] MC**
but I'd like to have the cast come
on stage and hear their thoughts.
**[1:36:06] MC**
Let's have Ise-san and
Takahashi-san come onstage.
**[1:36:08] MC**
Thank you.
**[1:36:09] Girls**
Thank you.
**[1:36:11] MC**
Come on, come on!
**[1:36:13] MC**
I'm like, "Wow, it's
the girls from a moment ago!"
**[1:36:17] Girls**
"Wow! They were just on stage!"
**[1:36:18] ---**
Yup!
**[1:36:20] MC**
That was just amazing.
**[1:36:23] Girls**
Thank you.
**[1:36:25] MC**
Ise-san, how did you enjoy that live reading?
**[1:36:27] Ise**
Well, I haven't done that scene since
I did the actual recording of it.
**[1:36:34] Ise**
And it's my first time doing
it in front of all these people.
**[1:36:38] Ise**
So I was really nervous
about how it would go.
**[1:36:42] Ise**
But you remember that recap we
showed at the start of the event?
**[1:36:47] Ise**
When I saw that, my memories—or I guess
my feelings—of that recording came back.
**[1:36:53] MC**
I see!
**[1:36:54] Ise**
All that emotion came back.
**[1:36:57] Ise**
So I was able to bring her
back for this recording.
**[1:37:03] Ise**
It worked!
**[1:37:05] MC**
It was great, really?
**[1:37:07] MC**
It was amazing.
**[1:37:10] MC**
You did great, thank you.
**[1:37:12] MC**
And Kobeni, too.
Takahashi-san, you did great.
**[1:37:15] Takahashi**
Thank you. That makes me so happy.
**[1:37:17] MC**
You kind of had to set the whole
atmosphere up yourself for that scene.
**[1:37:24] Takahashi**
Arai-san wasn't here, so it was
a little lonely up there.
**[1:37:28] Takahashi**
But I had a great time doing that scene.
**[1:37:30] Takahashi**
I was nervous during the rehearsal.
I wasn't sure we could do it.
**[1:37:36] Takahashi**
But I really do think I did a good job.
**[1:37:39] Takahashi**
It's because you said I did good!
**[1:37:42] Ise**
She did really great.
**[1:37:43] MC**
She did.
**[1:37:45] Ise**
To be honest, a live reading like this is
totally different from a normal recording.
**[1:37:51] Ise**
And the way you feel...
since you're just doing one scene,
**[1:37:54] Ise**
so it's hard to build yourself up
to the emotional state you need.
**[1:37:57] Ise**
But, Karin-chan, you were wonderful.
**[1:38:00] Ise**
Kobeni-chan was great.
**[1:38:01] MC**
It was really wonderful.
**[1:38:06] Ise**
I think so.
**[1:38:07] ---**
Yay.
**[1:38:08] MC**
I mean, looking at it,
**[1:38:09] MC**
I realized how many how lines there were
with no mouth movements.
**[1:38:13] MC**
You've got to get
the timing right, the mood right,
**[1:38:18] MC**
you have to figure how when to say the line.
**[1:38:22] Ise**
That's right.
**[1:38:24] Takahashi**
Himeno had a lot of really
emotional scenes so it was probably hard.
**[1:38:29] Ise**
Yes, it's the climax for her.
**[1:38:34] Ise**
But looking at Aki,
and this is really strange,
**[1:38:37] Ise**
I really remember how Himeno feels.
**[1:38:43] Ise**
It was a big help.
**[1:38:44] MC**
Wonderful. Let's have another
round of applause for them,
**[1:38:48] MC**
and for the rest of the cast!
**[1:38:53] MC**
Now come over here, 'cause it's
time for our next segment.
**[1:38:59] MC**
I call it "How about we have
us a drawing battle, then?!"
**[1:39:02] MC**
Applause!
**[1:39:03] Girls**
Yay!
**[1:39:06] MC**
The "Dream Battle" is one of
the most famous lines in Chainsaw Man.
**[1:39:09] MC**
We'll have the cast and artist
pair off in a drawing battle.
**[1:39:15] MC**
First up is Toya-san's
Denji Team! Come on up!
**[1:39:21] MC**
Come on up. Toya-san,
Hamano-san, Syudou-san...
**[1:39:25] MC**
And Takahashi-san will be
joining their team, too.
**[1:39:31] MC**
Go over there...
**[1:39:33] MC**
This is the Denji Team.
**[1:39:35] MC**
And next up is Sakata-san's
Aki team! Come on up!
**[1:39:41] MC**
Their team is Sakata-san, Taichi-san,
TOOBOE-san, Ano-san, and Ise-san, too.
**[1:39:46] MC**
Go over with them.
**[1:39:48] Ise**
I'm going over to the Aki team.
**[1:39:50] MC**
All right, sit down while I explain the rules.
**[1:39:56] MC**
I'm going to call another MC to help me.
**[1:40:04] MC**
Here she is! Come on out!
**[1:40:09] MC**
Fairouz-san!
**[1:40:10] ---**
Fai-chan!
**[1:40:11] Fairouz**
Yay! Thanks for having me.
**[1:40:13] Unknown**
Fai-sama.
**[1:40:14] Fairouz**
Yes!
**[1:40:15] MC**
This is a drawing battle,
and Fai-san likes to draw.
**[1:40:21] MC**
So this time she's going to help as MC.
**[1:40:26] Fai**
Okay, I'll explain the rules, then.
**[1:40:29] ---**
Yes, thank you!
**[1:40:32] Fai**
You're going to be drawing pictures
of two themes we've got prepared.
**[1:40:39] Fai**
This is a team game, so Mukai-san
and I will decide who gets the points
**[1:40:47] Fai**
based on which we like, and take
into account who you applaud more!
**[1:40:52] Fai**
The winning team is the one
with the most points at the end.
**[1:40:56] Fai**
They'll be given awesome
prizes, so good luck!
**[1:41:00] All**
We'll do our best.
**[1:41:03] Unknown**
What will we get?
**[1:41:04] MC**
So this is a question
for the artists, can you draw?
**[1:41:08] MC**
Syudou-san.
**[1:41:09] Syudou**
I can't at all, but supposedly
TOOBOE-san is great.
**[1:41:12] ---**
Oh, right!
**[1:41:14] Tooboe**
I do draw a lot, yeah.
**[1:41:16] MC**
I see.
**[1:41:17] Tooboe**
I'm good enough that
you probably won't laugh.
**[1:41:22] MC**
That would make for a good corner.
**[1:41:25] MC**
What about Ano-san?
**[1:41:27] ano**
I'm okay...
**[1:41:30] ano**
I actually saw something
Syudou-san drew once, he was good.
**[1:41:37] Syudou**
Yes, we actually both drew
something once on the program.
**[1:41:41] MC**
So you're all good at drawing.
**[1:41:44] MC**
What about the cast?
**[1:41:48] Girl**
Don't look so nervous.
**[1:41:50] Girl**
What about the Denji team?
**[1:41:52] Toya**
During the rehearsal I said to
these two, "I'm a great artist!"
**[1:41:57] Unknown**
Yeah, he just made things
a lot harder for himself.
**[1:41:59] Toya**
That was all a lie.
**[1:42:01] MC**
Why would you lie about that?
**[1:42:03] Unknown**
Who were you trying to impress?
**[1:42:05] Unknown**
I hope he's kidding!
**[1:42:07] MC**
All right, let's get to it!
**[1:42:11] MC**
Here's our first theme!
**[1:42:15] MC**
"How about we have us a drawing battle, then?!"
**[1:42:15] MC**
First Theme
**[1:42:15] MC**
Kobeni
**[1:42:15] All**
Kobeni!
**[1:42:17] Takahashi**
I'll do my best.
**[1:42:18] MC**
She has some unique features,
but it's hard to pin down what.
**[1:42:22] MC**
They'll have to choose what to draw.
**[1:42:25] MC**
Of course, we want
Takahashi-san to do her best.
**[1:42:27] Takahashi**
Yes, I will.
**[1:42:29] MC**
All right, are we all ready?
**[1:42:31] MC**
Begin drawing!
**[1:42:35] Fairouz**
Kobeni-chan...
**[1:42:37] Fairouz**
The thing is, everybody in
Public Safety wears the same uniform.
**[1:42:40] MC**
Right.
**[1:42:41] Fairouz**
It's hard to bring out her
uniqueness with clothes.
**[1:42:44] MC**
Yes.
**[1:42:45] Fairouz**
So what Takahashi-san is wearing is similar
to what Kobeni wore at the drinking party.
**[1:42:52] Fairouz**
With the beret.
**[1:42:52] MC**
Oh, you're right.
**[1:42:54] Fairouz**
It's really cute.
**[1:42:56] Fairouz**
I think you could use that
to draw a good Kobeni-chan.
**[1:43:01] MC**
So you gave them a hint.
**[1:43:03] MC**
And there might be something you
could do with the pose, right?
**[1:43:05] Fai**
Yes.
**[1:43:06] Fai**
Also, where her moles are.
**[1:43:08] Fai**
There's actually a lot of them!
**[1:43:11] Fai**
No more hints!
**[1:43:12] MC**
Syudou-san, erase that! Erase that!
**[1:43:17] Fai**
No looking behind you!
**[1:43:18] MC**
You can't cheat like that!
**[1:43:21] MC**
You can't!
**[1:43:23] MC**
Syudou-san was looking
at her as he draws her.
**[1:43:24] Fai**
Yeah, you can't use the picture as a model.
**[1:43:27] Fai**
But her hairpin is distinctive.
**[1:43:29] Fai**
And the moles might be hard,
**[1:43:32] Fai**
but she has many distinctive poses,
like a double peace sign.
**[1:43:39] MC**
So you have to pick the pose,
the outfit, and the expression.
**[1:43:45] MC**
Let's see how they do.
**[1:43:46] MC**
But I see someone's finished...
**[1:43:50] MC**
Is Ise-san done?
**[1:43:52] MC**
Ise-san's fast!
**[1:43:53] Ise**
I did it!
**[1:43:54] Faiz**
Wow, you're so fast!
**[1:43:56] Faiz**
Mariya-chan, can you draw?
**[1:43:59] Maria**
Well... I don't know.
**[1:44:02] Faiz**
Well, I guess we'll see in a minute!
**[1:44:05] MC**
And Takahashi-san...
**[1:44:07] Takahashi**
I'm done.
**[1:44:09] MC**
Good timing.
**[1:44:12] Faiz**
Wasn't Kobeni amazing
during that live reading,
**[1:44:16] Faiz**
the way she just jumped
around on the snake's tail?
**[1:44:20] MC**
It was amazing.
**[1:44:21] Faiz**
The way she's willing to just
get in a brawl with a devil...
**[1:44:25] Faiz**
She may be the strongest of them all.
**[1:44:25] MC**
I don't know if "brawl" is the right word,
but he did ask if she was a monkey.
**[1:44:29] MC**
Yes, exactly.
**[1:44:30] MC**
It was really cool.
**[1:44:31] MC**
One of the great things about her is
how cool she is during the battles.
**[1:44:35] Faiz**
Yeah, that gap between her two sides
is something that got her a lot of fans.
**[1:44:38] MC**
Until then she looked
kind of sad and helpless.
**[1:44:45] Unknown**
I'm done.
**[1:44:48] MC**
Nice.
**[1:44:49] Faiz**
Wow!
**[1:44:50] Sakata**
I'm done, too.
**[1:44:50] MC**
Sakata-san's done.
**[1:44:52] MC**
Taichi-san's done, too.
**[1:44:53] Taichi**
Yes, I'm done.
**[1:44:54] MC**
TOOBOE-san's done.
**[1:44:56] MC**
And Ano-san's done, too.
**[1:44:58] MC**
And we're done!
**[1:45:01] MC**
Okay, the pictures are done.
**[1:45:04] MC**
Let's start with the Denji team.
**[1:45:10] Unknown**
You ready?
**[1:45:12] Unknown**
Looks good.
**[1:45:13] MC**
You ready?
**[1:45:15] MC**
Okay, let's see what the Denji team's got.
**[1:45:18] MC**
Here we go... show your boards!
**[1:45:24] MC**
Wait. Wait.
**[1:45:24] MC**
Other People's Money...
**[1:45:25] Unknown**
That's good.
**[1:45:28] Unknown**
Wow!
**[1:45:30] Unknown**
Aggressive!
**[1:45:31] MC**
Scissors Peace
Grin Grin
**[1:45:32] MC**
Hang on a second.
**[1:45:33] MC**
Where do we start?
**[1:45:35] MC**
Where do we start...
**[1:45:37] MC**
Takahashi-san first!
**[1:45:38] MC**
Let's start with Takahashi-san!
**[1:45:38] MC**
That's so cute!
**[1:45:39] All**
So cute!
**[1:45:43] MC**
She's totally got it.
**[1:45:44] Unknown**
The moles are all in the right spots!
**[1:45:47] Unknown**
Nice!
**[1:45:48] MC**
We didn't say where the moles were.
**[1:45:50] Takahashi**
I drew the moles, but I
made a mistake at the start.
**[1:45:55] MC**
Wait, wait. When Takahashi-san
mentioned where the moles were
**[1:45:59] MC**
Sakata-san did something with his pen.
**[1:46:01] All**
No fair! No fair!
**[1:46:02] All**
He's cheating!
**[1:46:04] Fai**
I think he loses points for that.
**[1:46:07] Fai**
Sakata-san, stand up.
**[1:46:11] Taichi**
No cheating.
**[1:46:12] MC**
That's not allowed.
**[1:46:14] MC**
But great job, Takahashi-san.
**[1:46:15] Takahashi**
Yay. Thank you!
**[1:46:17] MC**
And Toya-san, you said
you were a great artist.
**[1:46:21] Unknown**
Cute!
**[1:46:22] Toya**
Is it cute?
**[1:46:24] MC**
It looks kind of like a free stamp.
**[1:46:28] MC**
Other People's Money...
**[1:46:29] Toya**
Like freeware.
**[1:46:31] ---**
It is.
**[1:46:33] Girl**
But it does sound like
something Kobeni would say,
**[1:46:37] Girl**
so you get points for that.
**[1:46:38] ---**
Heck yeah.
**[1:46:39] MC**
I see, thank you.
**[1:46:41] MC**
And now Hamano-san.
**[1:46:43] MC**
Your scene is like...
**[1:46:45] ---**
Wow.
**[1:46:46] Girl**
Modern art.
**[1:46:48] MC**
It looks like modern art.
**[1:46:50] Hamano**
This is how she must've looked
from Samurai Sword's perspective.
**[1:46:55] All**
I see!
**[1:46:56] All**
It's from Samurai Sword's perspective.
**[1:46:58] Girl**
It feels alive.
**[1:46:58] MC**
And what does it say below?
**[1:47:00] Girl**
Do the good voice.
**[1:47:02] Hamano**
I didn't use a good voice for this part.
**[1:47:07] Hamano**
Are you monkey?
**[1:47:09] MC**
Thank you. That was for the whole world.
**[1:47:11] Toya**
"Are you monkey"...
**[1:47:12] Hamano**
I don't think it was.
**[1:47:14] MC**
That's cool, though.
Samurai Sword's perspective.
**[1:47:16] Unknown**
Yeah, that's a really cool idea.
**[1:47:19] Girl**
Very avant-garde.
**[1:47:20] MC**
And lastly, Syudou-san.
**[1:47:22] All**
Okay!
**[1:47:23] MC**
I think you overused the thin pen.
**[1:47:24] MC**
Scissors Peace
Grin Grin
**[1:47:27] All**
So cute! So cute!
**[1:47:29] All**
Cute!
**[1:47:30] Unknown**
I think she just didn't use
enough force with the pen.
**[1:47:33] ---**
Cute!
**[1:47:33] Faiz**
But the grin looks like sweat.
**[1:47:37] Faiz**
So it also looks like Kobeni-chan dripping
with sweat while she does a peace sign.
**[1:47:41] MC**
You can see it both ways.
**[1:47:43] Faiz**
What's that in the bottom?
**[1:47:45] Unknown**
That's a character he draws a lot.
**[1:47:48] Unknown**
I thought it was a little Kobeni.
**[1:47:50] MC**
So it's a collab!
**[1:47:52] Unknown**
Yeah, that's great.
**[1:47:54] MC**
Wow, wonderful.
**[1:47:56] All**
Cute! Cute!
**[1:47:57] Unknown**
Thank you! Scissors peace!
**[1:47:58] Unknown**
I think they've got this in the bag!
**[1:48:01] Faiz**
They all drew different types of
art, so all together it's amazing.
**[1:48:06] Faiz**
I think they're really strong.
**[1:48:08] MC**
I think you're in trouble, Team Aki.
**[1:48:11] Sakata**
Nice.
**[1:48:11] Unknown**
One of them's starting with a penalty.
**[1:48:13] Unknown**
Yeah, he is.
**[1:48:14] Unknown**
I guess I am.
**[1:48:17] Unknown**
Let's get to it.
**[1:48:18] Unknown**
What does the Aki Team have in store for us?
**[1:48:22] Unknown**
Show us our art, Aki Team!
**[1:48:25] unknown**
Wow, you're really good!
**[1:48:27] unknown**
Wait.
**[1:48:29] unknown**
Did you draw that just now?
**[1:48:30] unknown**
Seriously? Wow! They're great!
**[1:48:32] unknown**
They're all great!
**[1:48:36] MC**
TOOBOE-san! TOOBOE-san!
**[1:48:39] All**
TOOBOE-san is amazing!
**[1:48:42] Girl**
You drew that in this short time?
**[1:48:44] MC**
Seriously?
**[1:48:47] MC**
Are we sure he didn't draw this ahead of time?
**[1:48:48] Tooboe**
It wasn't. I took this seriously.
**[1:48:51] Faiz**
I bet he traced it!
**[1:48:53] Tooboe**
I did not.
**[1:48:54] All**
Wow!
**[1:48:56] MC**
It's actually so good it's funny.
That doesn't happen often.
**[1:49:01] Tooboe**
The mole by the lips is
in the wrong spot, though.
**[1:49:04] Tooboe**
I bet I lost points for that.
**[1:49:05] Faiz**
No, the basic illustration
is just so good...
**[1:49:09] Tooboe**
The camera's getting in really close.
**[1:49:11] All**
Wow!
**[1:49:13] Tooboe**
Thank you.
**[1:49:14] ---**
Magnificent.
**[1:49:16] Tooboe**
Thank you.
**[1:49:17] MC**
It's really high-level art.
**[1:49:18] Faiz**
The thing I thought was really amazing
is that with a short amount of time,
**[1:49:22] Faiz**
it's hard to color black hair on a
character. There's not enough time.
**[1:49:27] Faiz**
But he's done both
the clothes and hair in black.
**[1:49:31] Faiz**
I think it's amazing.
**[1:49:34] Faiz**
This is a big one!
**[1:49:37] Tooboe**
Thank you.
**[1:49:38] MC**
But the others... like Ano-san.
**[1:49:40] ---**
Yeah! It's so cute!
**[1:49:42] Tooboe**
That's really good.
**[1:49:43] Faiz**
You've captured her character!
**[1:49:45] Faiz**
That's so cute!
**[1:49:48] Faiz**
You can feel the Ano-san world.
**[1:49:51] Faiz**
Wonderful. How cute.
**[1:49:52] MC**
It's really good.
**[1:49:55] MC**
And look at Taichi-san.
**[1:49:57] Taichi**
Yes.
**[1:49:58] ---**
Taichi-san's is really cute, too.
**[1:49:59] Girl**
It's really cute.
**[1:50:01] All**
So cute! She's good!
**[1:50:02] MC**
Waaaaaaaaah...
**[1:50:03] ---**
Wow.
**[1:50:03] All**
She's really good!
**[1:50:06] Girl**
You can tell she's an otaku.
**[1:50:09] Man**
You can tell she fought her.
**[1:50:10] MC**
True.
**[1:50:11] MC**
And Ise-san was fast, too.
**[1:50:14] All**
She's so cute!
**[1:50:16] Guy**
Super-amazing!
**[1:50:17] Girls**
I kind of want this on a purse.
**[1:50:19] Girls**
Yeah, it's so cute.
**[1:50:21] Girls**
I'd like them to make merch out of it.
**[1:50:23] Taichi**
I forgot the moles, but I think this is it.
**[1:50:27] Girl**
You've totally got her character.
**[1:50:29] MC**
And that's everywhere!
**[1:50:31] Sakata**
Hey!
**[1:50:33] Sakata**
Hold it!
**[1:50:35] Someone**
Scary!
**[1:50:36] Sakata**
I was ready to hide it, move it
like this if the camera came.
**[1:50:40] MC**
You were, yeah.
**[1:50:42] Faiz**
I think you're dragging the team down.
**[1:50:46] Man**
He cheated, too.
**[1:50:48] Man**
So how did you cheat?
**[1:50:50] Sakata**
I was going to draw the moles.
**[1:50:52] Man**
And you got stopped.
**[1:50:53] Sakata**
That's right.
**[1:50:54] Faiz**
You didn't get to draw them,
and you lost points.
**[1:50:56] Man**
What's that in the eyes?
**[1:50:57] Sakata**
I see a little universe in her eyes.
**[1:50:59] MC**
She's the only one
who isn't doing a peace sign.
**[1:51:03] All**
True.
**[1:51:05] Sakata**
This is for a head shot.
**[1:51:08] MC**
Why would Kobeni have a head shot?
**[1:51:12] MC**
But it does have its own flavor.
**[1:51:14] Girl**
You said you really liked Kobeni, so
maybe that love showed up in her eyes.
**[1:51:19] Sakata**
That's right.
**[1:51:20] MC**
Wonderful.
**[1:51:22] MC**
Now that we've seen everyone's
work, I'd like to discuss scores.
**[1:51:28] MC**
But first, Fairouz-san has
her own picture she drew...
**[1:51:33] Faiz**
I drew Kobeni-chan!
**[1:51:35] MC**
Let's take a look.
**[1:51:36] MC**
Everyone else's was really good.
**[1:51:38] MC**
But let's see what she's got.
**[1:51:41] MC**
This is her Kobeni!
**[1:51:45] MC**
It's too good!
**[1:51:46] All**
Wow!
**[1:51:47] All**
It's too good!
**[1:51:48] All**
What is this?
**[1:51:49] Faiz**
I looked at her while I drew it.
**[1:51:52] Faiz**
I drew the moles, too.
**[1:51:54] MC**
It's really good!
**[1:51:56] Faiz**
I'm embarrassed.
**[1:51:57] Faiz**
Thank you very much.
**[1:52:00] Faiz**
But she was the first
Chainsaw Man character I drew.
**[1:52:03] MC**
You'd never drawn one before?
**[1:52:04] Faiz**
That's right. Kobeni-chan
was my first character.
**[1:52:08] MC**
You'd have to go to a doujin event
to ask somebody to draw this, right?
**[1:52:12] MC**
It's really amazing.
**[1:52:13] Faiz**
You can have it when this is over.
**[1:52:16] MC**
Now, we've seen all the pictures.
**[1:52:22] MC**
So let the two of us
decide who gets the points.
**[1:52:27] Faiz**
Well, I think in terms
of numbers, it's Team Aki.
**[1:52:32] Faiz**
TOOBOE-san's really trying
to make sure I see it.
**[1:52:35] Faiz**
In the sense that they're all
from different perspectives...
**[1:52:38] Faiz**
Ring girl, cut it out.
**[1:52:41] Faiz**
We've got someone who's being a ring girl.
**[1:52:42] Faiz**
The different viewpoints are something
that Denji's Team really showed us.
**[1:52:47] ---**
Teamwork!
**[1:52:48] Faiz**
I think that art's all about
looking at new things.
**[1:52:52] Faiz**
And Takahashi-san's love
for Kobeni really shines through.
**[1:52:57] Faiz**
So I say one point for Team Denji.
**[1:52:59] MC**
I agree!
**[1:53:01] MC**
Hamano-san's artistic skills and
Takahashi-san's love for Kobeni
**[1:53:05] MC**
mean that Team Denji gets one point!
**[1:53:07] Faiz**
It was really close!
**[1:53:09] MC**
It was a good match.
**[1:53:11] ---**
Thank you.
**[1:53:13] MC**
Now it's time for the audience to vote!
**[1:53:16] MC**
Who was better?
**[1:53:21] MC**
Let's go for it.
**[1:53:23] MC**
Everyone, clap for one team only, please.
**[1:53:27] MC**
Now let's hear from everybody
who liked Team Denji!
**[1:53:33] Unknown**
They're kind. They're really kind.
**[1:53:35] Unknown**
Yeah, there's a lot of clapping.
**[1:53:37] Faiz**
I heard a lot of clapping.
**[1:53:39] Faiz**
Now let's hear from
people who liked Team Aki!
**[1:53:44] Faiz**
Listen to that!
**[1:53:45] ---**
I think...
**[1:53:46] Faiz**
There we have it!
**[1:53:49] Faiz**
I bet they really liked
TOOBOE-san's picture.
**[1:53:53] Faiz**
The audience gives 1 point to Team Aki!
**[1:53:55] ---**
Yay!
**[1:53:57] Faiz**
Congratulations!
**[1:53:59] ---**
That was close.
**[1:54:00] Faiz**
They're tied at one point.
**[1:54:03] MC**
All right, let's move on to our next
round and see if we get a winner!
**[1:54:09] MC**
Let's get to it.
**[1:54:11] MC**
Our next topic is this.
**[1:54:15] MC**
The second topic is...
**[1:54:16] MC**
Topic 2
Future Devil
**[1:54:17] MC**
The Future Devil!
**[1:54:18] Faiz**
That's hard!
**[1:54:19] MC**
That's hard!
**[1:54:21] Faiz**
No turning around!
**[1:54:23] Faiz**
No turning around!
**[1:54:25] MC**
It went away.
**[1:54:26] Faiz**
Yes, you could see it down here, too,
**[1:54:29] Faiz**
but it disappeared to
stop people from cheating.
**[1:54:31] MC**
They'll have to think back harder
than they did with Kobeni, I bet.
**[1:54:36] Faiz**
Yeah.
**[1:54:36] MC**
Okay, let's begin!
**[1:54:40] Faiz**
The Future Devil has
a really distinctive pose.
**[1:54:44] MC**
That's right.
**[1:54:45] Faiz**
From when it appeared,
with both arms spread out.
**[1:54:48] Faiz**
I was asked to draw it ahead of time, but...
**[1:54:53] ---**
One second, please.
**[1:54:54] Faiz**
What is it, Aki-kun?
**[1:54:56] Sakata**
I screwed up.
**[1:54:57] MC**
Stop... Stop trying to be an artist.
**[1:55:03] Sakata**
Sorry, I screwed up.
**[1:55:05] Sakata**
And I just couldn't forgive myself.
**[1:55:06] Faiz**
Hurry up. Time is money.
**[1:55:09] Man**
Hurry up and draw.
**[1:55:11] MC**
Yes, that pose.
**[1:55:13] Faiz**
So as I was drawing it
I looked at the original.
**[1:55:19] Faiz**
But I couldn't remember
what its feet looked like.
**[1:55:21] ---**
True.
**[1:55:22] Faiz**
You remember the hands but not the body.
**[1:55:27] MC**
Maybe.
**[1:55:28] Faiz**
And like... its belly?
**[1:55:29] Faiz**
It's humanoid but its legs aren't human.
**[1:55:34] Faiz**
And it has that really weird split
on its belly, with the eyeball?
**[1:55:38] Faiz**
I think getting that right
is going to be the key.
**[1:55:45] MC**
There's a lot of things to get right.
**[1:55:46] Faiz**
That's right.
**[1:55:49] Faiz**
Also, it has a lot of different expressions.
**[1:55:53] Girl**
Expressions?
**[1:55:54] Faiz**
It sure does!
**[1:55:55] Faiz**
It's got its eyes closed and they look
like wrinkles, it's got a lot of eyes.
**[1:56:01] Faiz**
But after it shows Aki
his future, its eyes open.
**[1:56:06] Faiz**
How many were there?
**[1:56:09] MC**
There's a scene like that.
**[1:56:10] Faiz**
Yes, I think that's
gonna be pretty hard, too.
**[1:56:16] MC**
It's about what you remember
and what you chose to draw.
**[1:56:21] Faiz**
Right? Right?
**[1:56:23] Faiz**
How about it, everyone?
**[1:56:24] MC**
But they're all really good.
**[1:56:28] Taichi**
It's too hard.
**[1:56:29] MC**
It's hard, Taichi-san?
**[1:56:32] Taichi**
Yeah, it is.
**[1:56:33] Girl**
But you were able to draw it.
**[1:56:35] MC**
Ise-san's fast.
**[1:56:37] All**
She's fast! Wow!
**[1:56:38] Taichi**
I decided to just call it day.
**[1:56:40] Ise**
Yeah, I just gave up.
**[1:56:42] MC**
And Takahashi-san...
**[1:56:43] Takahashi**
I'm done!
**[1:56:44] Girl**
That's really fast!
**[1:56:45] Girl**
Well, speed is important, too.
**[1:56:48] Girl**
I see one guy who thinks he's
a real artist struggling over his work.
**[1:56:50] MC**
He thinks he's an artist.
**[1:56:52] Girl**
Hurry up and finish.
**[1:56:54] Girl**
Everybody's waiting.
**[1:56:55] Unknown**
That's right.
**[1:56:56] Girl**
"That's right"?
**[1:56:58] MC**
Hurry up.
**[1:56:59] Sakata**
I hear disappointed
laughter from the front row.
**[1:57:01] MC**
That's pretty rare.
**[1:57:03] MC**
I've heard of people laughing at pictures
**[1:57:05] MC**
but not laughing at
someone who isn't drawing.
**[1:57:07] MC**
Okay, TOOBOE-san and Ano-san are done, too.
**[1:57:11] Fai**
Now, are you ready?
**[1:57:13] Fai**
Are you ready? Are you all set?
**[1:57:16] MC**
Okay!
**[1:57:17] ---**
Okay!
**[1:57:19] MC**
All right, now what do we do?
**[1:57:23] Faiz**
This time let's do Team Aki first.
**[1:57:27] Faiz**
Team Aki, show us what you've got!
**[1:57:32] Faiz**
Let's take a look.
**[1:57:34] Sakata**
Stop showing me first.
**[1:57:36] Faiz**
The Future Rules
**[1:57:37] All**
Okay, okay.
**[1:57:39] All**
Wow!
**[1:57:40] All**
That's great!
**[1:57:42] All**
That's amazing!
**[1:57:45] MC**
Ano-san's good, too.
**[1:57:45] Faiz**
She really got the character down.
**[1:57:47] Faiz**
Let's take them one at a time.
**[1:57:50] MC**
Ano-san first.
**[1:57:51] ---**
Okay.
**[1:57:52] MC**
She drew the top half more.
**[1:57:55] ano**
As best as I remembered.
**[1:57:58] Faiz**
It has a face!
**[1:58:01] Faiz**
He looks nice.
**[1:58:02] ---**
That thing's gonna appear in my dreams.
**[1:58:04] MC**
She drew the eye, too.
**[1:58:06] Faiz**
I bet this Future Devil has a cute voice.
**[1:58:09] Faiz**
Like "The Future rules! The Future rules!"
**[1:58:12] All**
So cute!
**[1:58:13] MC**
It's just like you.
**[1:58:14] ---**
Yes, very cute.
**[1:58:15] MC**
And then, TOOBOE-san.
**[1:58:18] All**
Wait, wait, wait, wait...
**[1:58:20] All**
He's out to win!
**[1:58:21] All**
Wow!
**[1:58:22] All**
Wow!
**[1:58:23] Unknown**
He even got the fur!
**[1:58:24] Unknown**
And the eyeball!
**[1:58:26] MC**
He has eyes and the beard.
**[1:58:30] Tooboe**
I couldn't really remember
how the head looked.
**[1:58:34] Faiz**
But you can definitely tell
it's the future devil.
**[1:58:36] MC**
You can.
**[1:58:38] MC**
This is great.
**[1:58:41] MC**
Now, Taichi-san.
**[1:58:42] Taichi**
I gave up.
**[1:58:45] Taichi**
You can tell I gave up.
**[1:58:48] Taichi**
I just stopped.
**[1:58:49] MC**
You figured if you put
the words in, it would work.
**[1:58:52] Taichi**
I tried to cheat with the writing.
**[1:58:54] Taichi**
He looks naughty, though.
Naughty, but friendly.
**[1:58:57] MC**
I think that's good.
**[1:58:59] MC**
It's a caricature.
**[1:59:01] MC**
And Ise-san, too.
**[1:59:02] ---**
Yup.
**[1:59:03] Faiz**
Yuck!
**[1:59:05] Ise**
Yeah, it looks disgusting.
**[1:59:08] Ise**
I remember when the eyes opened
that there were a lot of them.
**[1:59:15] Ise**
That was the one thing I remembered,
so I decided to draw a lot of eyes,
**[1:59:20] Ise**
and it ended up really yucky-looking.
**[1:59:21] MC**
Yeah, I didn't expect to see so many eyes.
**[1:59:22] Girl**
It sounds like you could see him
on a wall in Egypt somewhere.
**[1:59:24] Girl**
He looks like he's doing the samba.
**[1:59:26] Faiz**
It's very unique.
**[1:59:27] MC**
I like it.
**[1:59:28] MC**
And lastly.
**[1:59:30] Sakata**
Okay!
**[1:59:31] MC**
Oh, but...
**[1:59:32] Faiz**
On to Team Denji!
**[1:59:33] Sakata**
Hey! Hey! Hey!
**[1:59:35] ---**
No comment...
**[1:59:37] MC**
He's doing the ring girl thing again.
**[1:59:39] Sakata**
I drew the eyes, I made him furry.
**[1:59:43] Sakata**
And I've got the eye in the stomach.
**[1:59:45] Man**
You've got a lot of his stuff.
**[1:59:47] Sakata**
Right?
**[1:59:47] Sakata**
You can look at this and
see it's the Future Devil.
**[1:59:50] Man**
The Future Devil?
**[1:59:51] Girl**
It's got ears.
**[1:59:52] Man**
It looks like it's from a Marvel comic.
**[1:59:55] MC**
It's rare to ask for applause
and just not get any like this.
**[2:00:01] Man**
You sure it's not the Future Bear?
**[2:00:05] MC**
The Future Bear?
**[2:00:07] MC**
Is that it?
**[2:00:08] Sakata**
Thank you.
**[2:00:09] Girl**
That's so nice.
**[2:00:10] Girl**
So nice.
**[2:00:11] MC**
You're being really generous there.
**[2:00:16] MC**
Now their opponents, Team Aki...
I mean Team Denji.
**[2:00:20] MC**
Let's take a look.
**[2:00:21] MC**
Team Denji, what've we got?
**[2:00:25] Faiz**
They're all different again.
**[2:00:25] MC**
Grin Grin The Future Rules
**[2:00:28] MC**
They are!
**[2:00:30] MC**
I see Aki!
**[2:00:31] All**
Wow!
**[2:00:33] Faiz**
Wait.
**[2:00:34] Faiz**
Hamano-san is holding his board at just
the right spot to make him the Future Devil.
**[2:00:40] All**
Wow! Amazing!
**[2:00:42] All**
Amazing!
**[2:00:44] MC**
Wow, Hamano-san's got such
an artistic perspective!
**[2:00:50] MC**
That's awesome!
**[2:00:52] MC**
It also looks like Aki from behind.
**[2:00:55] Faiz**
True, true.
**[2:00:55] Hamano**
It's Aki sticking his head in.
**[2:00:59] MC**
It's when he sticks his head in!
**[2:01:00] Girl**
I see!
**[2:01:02] Hamano**
I really like Aki's topknot.
**[2:01:05] Hamano**
So it's overcoming gravity. He can
look down but it'll still point up.
**[2:01:10] Man**
Normally, it'd be like this.
**[2:01:12] Man**
Normally, it'd get squished.
**[2:01:14] Hamano**
But I really wanted to draw that.
**[2:01:15] ---**
Wow.
**[2:01:16] Girl**
Wonderful.
**[2:01:17] ---**
Very nice.
**[2:01:18] Sakata**
Thank you.
**[2:01:19] MC**
But that's not all.
**[2:01:20] MC**
Let's look at Syudou-san's.
**[2:01:22] MC**
That's really cute.
**[2:01:23] Girl**
That's so cute! He's even got Pochita!
**[2:01:25] Syudou**
I learned my lesson and drew thicker lines.
**[2:01:29] ano**
It's easier to see now!
**[2:01:31] Faiz**
I think he got the head
better than everyone else.
**[2:01:34] Syudou**
Was it like this?
**[2:01:35] Faiz**
It was.
**[2:01:36] Syudou**
But since I didn't have any confidence
in the quality I went for quantity.
**[2:01:41] Girl**
It's very cute.
**[2:01:43] Guy**
He's smiling.
**[2:01:44] Girl**
I can feel your Chainsaw Man love.
**[2:01:46] MC**
Maybe he could appear
in his own cute spin-off.
**[2:01:49] Girl**
He's so cute!
**[2:01:50] ---**
Very good.
**[2:01:51] Girl**
Now, Takahashi-san.
**[2:01:53] Takahashi**
Okay!
**[2:01:54] All**
So cute!
**[2:01:56] All**
From the first part?
**[2:01:57] Takahashi**
I drew him dancing.
**[2:02:00] Takahashi**
So cute!
**[2:02:02] Takahashi**
He looks like he's some kind
of Sento-kun knockoff.
**[2:02:05] Unknown**
A Sento-kun knockoff?
**[2:02:07] Man**
Sento-kun doesn't have
an eye on his stomach.
**[2:02:08] MC**
True.
**[2:02:10] MC**
But he's cute. He's dancing.
**[2:02:12] MC**
That's great. You can feel
Takahashi-san's personality in it.
**[2:02:14] Faiz**
Yes, it's wonderful.
**[2:02:17] MC**
And lastly, Toya-san.
**[2:02:23] Guy**
It looks a little similar.
**[2:02:27] Guy**
Don't their pictures look similar?
**[2:02:30] Guy**
Why is that?
**[2:02:31] ---**
So, um...
**[2:02:32] Girl**
They do look a lot alike.
**[2:02:33] Man**
They do!
**[2:02:34] Girl**
They sure do.
**[2:02:36] Sakata**
It's the kind of dream you'd have
if you were having a nightmare.
**[2:02:38] Toya**
Yes, that's what I drew.
**[2:02:40] Girl**
Are you two the only ones who drew the legs?
**[2:02:43] Girl**
They've got two legs?
**[2:02:45] Girl**
No, Mariya-chan drew them, too.
**[2:02:47] ---**
I see.
**[2:02:49] Sakata**
I kind of remember his legs turning inward.
**[2:02:51] All**
Yes, that's right.
**[2:02:53] All**
I see.
**[2:02:54] MC**
All right, that's all of them.
**[2:02:56] MC**
Now, let's look at what
Fairouz-san has for us.
**[2:03:00] Fairouz**
Okay!
**[2:03:03] ---**
Here we go.
**[2:03:04] Fairouz**
This is what I drew!
**[2:03:05] MC**
The Future Rules
**[2:03:06] All**
That's incredible! Wow!
**[2:03:11] Faiz**
I worked really hard!
**[2:03:13] Faiz**
What is this? How is it so good?
**[2:03:15] Faiz**
The detail on the eyeball!
**[2:03:17] Man**
Wait a second!
**[2:03:19] Faiz**
I thought I could show off with the kanji.
**[2:03:21] Girl**
No, you weren't just
showing off with the kanji.
**[2:03:24] Faiz**
Thank you.
**[2:03:26] Man**
I can feel it sending some kind of message.
**[2:03:27] Faiz**
You always think of it
with its arms spread out,
**[2:03:31] Faiz**
but here it's like
"Stick your head in here, Aki."
**[2:03:33] Faiz**
It's kind of provoking him.
**[2:03:36] All**
Wow!
**[2:03:39] All**
Wow!
**[2:03:39] MC**
That's really good.
**[2:03:41] Faiz**
Thank you.
**[2:03:43] Faiz**
Its feet are actually kind of like a tree.
**[2:03:46] Faiz**
I looked at a reference while drawing it.
**[2:03:47] Faiz**
It doesn't have two legs.
**[2:03:49] Faiz**
Its lower half is like the trunk of a tree.
**[2:03:53] Faiz**
I didn't realize until I drew it.
**[2:03:56] Faiz**
That's right. I didn't know.
**[2:03:58] MC**
What do you think about her drawing, Ano-san?
**[2:04:04] ano**
Um...
**[2:04:06] Man**
Were you sleepy?
**[2:04:08] ano**
It was so good I couldn't speak.
**[2:04:11] Faiz**
Thanks.
**[2:04:12] ano**
I had that, too.
**[2:04:13] Faiz**
They're kind of similar.
**[2:04:15] ano**
I tried to get the tree trunk...
**[2:04:17] Faiz**
We were closest in the details.
**[2:04:19] MC**
Oh, of the general shape.
**[2:04:20] MC**
Yeah.
**[2:04:22] Faiz**
I think I've just been bribed.
**[2:04:25] MC**
That was wonderful.
**[2:04:27] MC**
Now, let's decide the points.
**[2:04:31] Faiz**
Well, she did just give me a compliment.
**[2:04:34] MC**
She's so honest! She's so honest!
**[2:04:37] Faiz**
But... well... What did you think?
**[2:04:41] MC**
I really think TOOBOE-san's
drawing is amazing.
**[2:04:48] Faiz**
Yes, in terms of general artistic ability
he really raised their average score.
**[2:04:56] Faiz**
And Ano-san's looks so nice.
**[2:04:58] Faiz**
So I think... Team Aki, maybe?
**[2:05:01] MC**
That's right. If it weren't
for Aki-san they'd definitely have it.
**[2:05:04] Faiz**
That's right. He's dragging them down.
**[2:05:08] Sakata**
Sorry.
**[2:05:09] Sakata**
I'm dragging Team Aki down.
**[2:05:11] Sakata**
So one point for Team Aki!
**[2:05:13] All**
Yay!
**[2:05:15] MC**
Now it's your turn to decide, everyone.
**[2:05:21] MC**
Now if you think Team Aki did better, clap!
**[2:05:30] ---**
Oh?
**[2:05:31] MC**
Now if you think Team Denji
did better, applaud!
**[2:05:37] ---**
Wait, what?
**[2:05:38] Girl**
Yay!
**[2:05:39] ---**
Why?
**[2:05:40] Toya**
Wow!
**[2:05:41] Toya**
A miracle!
**[2:05:43] MC**
The winners are Team Denji, who get one point!
**[2:05:50] Someone**
Thank you!
**[2:05:51] Faiz**
It's really hard to pick!
**[2:05:52] Hamano**
Quantity came in handy.
**[2:05:53] MC**
I think this team had more uniqueness.
**[2:05:55] ---**
That's true.
**[2:05:56] MC**
Hamano-san's was great.
**[2:05:57] Someone**
Quantity over quality.
**[2:06:00] MC**
Now, since it was a tie,
both teams get prizes!
**[2:06:10] MC**
And the prizes will be given by Pochita!
**[2:06:15] All**
Pochita! Pochita!
**[2:06:18] All**
Pochita!
**[2:06:19] MC**
What did Pochita bring?
**[2:06:23] MC**
Thank you!
**[2:06:24] MC**
Inside is a Chainsaw Man original merch pack!
**[2:06:30] Man**
That's great.
**[2:06:31] Girl**
Yay!
**[2:06:32] Man**
I want it.
**[2:06:32] Girl**
Yay! Yay!
**[2:06:33] MC**
It has the T-shirts you're
wearing, a neck towel,
**[2:06:39] MC**
a rubber wristband,
a photo key chain, and badges.
**[2:06:43] Faiz**
Thank you, Pochita!
**[2:06:44] MC**
Thank you, Pochita!
**[2:06:45] All**
He's so cute!
**[2:06:47] MC**
So this is for both teams to take home.
**[2:06:52] All**
Thank you.
**[2:06:52] MC**
This concludes our "How about we
have us a drawing battle, then?!"
**[2:06:56] All**
Thank you!
**[2:06:58] MC**
A big thank you to both
our artists and guests!
**[2:07:01] MC**
And thank you to Fairouz
Ai-san for being MC!
**[2:07:04] All**
Thank you!
**[2:07:06] All**
Thank you!
**[2:07:07] MC**
Now we'll have them leave the stage
so we can get ready for the next part.
**[2:07:11] MC**
Send them off with a round of applause.
**[2:07:13] MC**
Thank you! Thank you!
**[2:07:17] MC**
Yes, that's all.
**[2:07:19] MC**
Thank you! Thank you!
**[2:07:21] MC**
They were all so good.
**[2:07:25] MC**
That were amazing.
**[2:07:29] MC**
Amazing, huh?
**[2:07:31] MC**
I didn't know they were so good.
**[2:07:37] MC**
What is this, even?
**[2:07:40] MC**
What is this?
**[2:07:42] MC**
I know I shouldn't say this,
but it looks like somebody's mascot...
**[2:07:46] MC**
Caught on fire or something.
**[2:07:49] MC**
Doesn't it?
**[2:07:51] MC**
Sorry.
**[2:07:53] MC**
But Fai-san's illustrations were great.
**[2:07:57] MC**
Now, let's keep going.
**[2:08:00] MC**
So now we're on to our
last event of the day,
**[2:08:07] MC**
which is a Chainsaw Man Concert Stage!
**[2:08:13] MC**
Thank you!
**[2:08:15] MC**
For our last artist, we have PEOPLE1,
**[2:08:21] MC**
who did the ending of episode 10!
**[2:08:27] MC**
Episode 10 features
the crew in utter disarray
**[2:08:31] MC**
after the attack
by Samurai Sword and Sawatari,
**[2:08:34] MC**
Aki resolving to fight on after his loss,
**[2:08:37] MC**
and Kishibe, the self-proclaimed
strongest Devil Hunter!
**[2:08:39] MC**
There's a lot of characters that show up
**[2:08:43] MC**
as the show heads for
the ending at a furious pace!
**[2:08:47] MC**
And of course the ending where Denji
shouts and runs through the alley,
**[2:08:51] MC**
I'm sure you remember.
**[2:08:54] MC**
Remember you're allowed to
stand up and make noise!
**[2:08:57] MC**
Let's have some fun!
**[2:08:59] MC**
Our last song for the day
is PEOPLE1's "DOGLAND"!
**[2:09:02] MC**
Go ahead!
**[2:11:19] Singer**
Chainsaw Fes is awesome, huh?
**[2:12:03] Singer**
Thank you!
**[2:12:30] MC**
Thank you!
**[2:12:34] MC**
That was PEOPLE1, everyone!
**[2:12:37] MC**
What a wonderful performance
to close out the show.
**[2:12:44] MC**
Did you all like that?
**[2:12:49] MC**
That was wonderful.
**[2:12:52] MC**
So today we've seen live readings
of the best scenes from Chainsaw Man,
**[2:12:57] MC**
as well as concerts by
an amazing group of artists.
**[2:13:00] MC**
I'm sure you all had a great time, but
I'm afraid we're out of time for the day.
**[2:13:06] MC**
Let's end by having the cast
come back on stage.
**[2:13:12] MC**
Welcome them with a big round of applause!
**[2:13:19] MC**
Thank you!
**[2:13:27] MC**
It's been an amazing event, with
concerts in between the live readings.
**[2:13:35] MC**
How did you all like the performances?
It's not something you get to hear often.
**[2:13:43] Toya**
It was amazing.
**[2:13:45] Toya**
Some of them sang in a different
way than the anime ending.
**[2:13:49] MC**
Yes.
**[2:13:50] Toya**
That's part of what makes
a live performance special.
**[2:13:51] Toya**
Hearing everyone clap and
yell was a lot of fun, too.
**[2:13:57] MC**
It was great.
**[2:13:59] MC**
What about you, Takahashi-san?
**[2:14:02] Takahashi**
It was a lot of fun!
**[2:14:03] Takahashi**
It was great!
**[2:14:04] Takahashi**
You don't usually get to
hear the songs up close,
**[2:14:08] Takahashi**
so I'm glad I got the chance.
**[2:14:10] MC**
Yeah, I think we were all
amazed how cool it sounded live.
**[2:14:16] MC**
How about you, Taichi-san?
**[2:14:17] Taichi**
We were just talking about
that backstage, between us.
**[2:14:22] Taichi**
It sounds really different live.
**[2:14:25] Hamano**
It does.
**[2:14:27] Taichi**
When the band comes
in it's totally different.
**[2:14:30] Taichi**
It was wonderful. A lot of fun.
**[2:14:32] MC**
It was really wonderful.
**[2:14:34] MC**
And you don't get a lot of chances to
interact with the artists like you did today.
**[2:14:40] MC**
Ise-san, you don't get a lot of chances
**[2:14:44] MC**
to hear about your character
directly from the artists, do you?
**[2:14:47] Ise**
It was a really wonderful opportunity.
**[2:14:51] Ise**
I could really feel the connection
we all had because of Chainsaw Man.
**[2:14:58] Ise**
I'm happy I got to share in this
opportunity with you. Thank you.
**[2:15:03] MC**
That's right, really.
**[2:15:05] MC**
I think everyone's really satisfied today.
**[2:15:07] MC**
They all got to see Fai-san's art.
**[2:15:10] All**
Yeah, that's right.
**[2:15:10] All**
Yeah.
**[2:15:11] Faiz**
You can have it.
**[2:15:13] MC**
I can have that?
**[2:15:14] Faiz**
Please take it.
**[2:15:18] MC**
Sorry, I'm just being an old otaku.
**[2:15:23] Faiz**
That makes me happy.
**[2:15:24] Faiz**
I had fun, really.
**[2:15:26] MC**
It was fun.
**[2:15:28] MC**
Sakata-san, too.
**[2:15:30] MC**
It would've been nice if you could
participate in the drawing battle.
**[2:15:34] Sakata**
"If I could have participated?"
**[2:15:35] Girl**
It's such a shame.
**[2:15:36] Sakata**
Was I not there!
**[2:15:38] MC**
You were.
**[2:15:39] MC**
You did an amazing job
with the live reading, too.
**[2:15:42] Sakata**
Thank you.
**[2:15:43] Sakata**
I was really nervous for the live recording.
**[2:15:47] Sakata**
It was nerve-wracking doing it
in front of all you.
**[2:15:52] Sakata**
But I hope you enjoyed it.
**[2:15:56] MC**
There was a moment, though, when
you had the same expression as Aki.
**[2:16:02] MC**
When I saw that I could feel the connection
between you and your character,
**[2:16:07] MC**
and I was glad you were
the one who had the role of Aki.
**[2:16:12] Sakata**
Wow, now you're making me really happy.
**[2:16:14] Sakata**
What's gotten into you?
**[2:16:16] MC**
I really thought it!
**[2:16:18] Sakata**
Thank you!
**[2:16:20] MC**
Wonderful.
**[2:16:21] Toya**
And Toya-san was at the forefront, too.
**[2:16:25] Toya**
You did a lot of the live reading, too.
**[2:16:27] ---**
Right.
**[2:16:29] Toya**
I was just talking with Hamano-san
about how much my throat hurts.
**[2:16:33] MC**
Of course.
**[2:16:34] Hamano**
He's doing all the famous scenes.
**[2:16:36] Toya**
But I think I did a good job.
**[2:16:38] Toya**
I gave it my all. I hope you enjoyed it.
**[2:16:41] MC**
Really, that's right.
**[2:16:43] MC**
Everyone, I bet you're all really
happy with this event? Well?
**[2:16:49] MC**
That's great.
**[2:16:53] MC**
Of course.
**[2:16:54] MC**
They'd keep clapping forever if we let them.
**[2:16:57] Girl**
Thank you.
**[2:16:58] Man**
Thank you, really.
**[2:17:01] MC**
Now, while I hate to let this end,
**[2:17:04] MC**
I'd like a word from each one of you,
we just got your thoughts on the show,
**[2:17:09] MC**
but I'd like a message from all of you
to the fans who are here today.
**[2:17:14] MC**
Let's start with Hamano-san.
**[2:17:16] Hamano**
All right.
**[2:17:17] Hamano**
I'm Daiki Hamano, I play Samurai Sword.
**[2:17:19] Hamano**
Thank you all for coming.
**[2:17:22] Hamano**
The Chainsaw Man anime is over,
**[2:17:27] Hamano**
but I think there's a lot more
in store for the franchise.
**[2:17:31] Hamano**
Toys, cards...
**[2:17:33] Hamano**
I think you'll have lots of chances to
interact with Chainsaw Man in the future.
**[2:17:36] Hamano**
So I hope you all have fun,
**[2:17:39] Hamano**
and join me in waiting for the continuation
which I hope is coming someday.
**[2:17:46] Hamano**
Thank you for coming today!
**[2:17:48] MC**
Thank you!
**[2:17:51] MC**
Now, Taichi-san.
**[2:17:53] Taichi**
Okay. I'm You Taichi, I play Akane Sawatari.
**[2:17:56] Taichi**
Thanks for coming today.
**[2:18:00] Taichi**
Seeing all these Chainsaw Man
fans in front of me
**[2:18:06] Taichi**
made me realize once more just what
an amazing anime I was a part of.
**[2:18:15] Taichi**
It was a lot of fun.
**[2:18:17] Taichi**
I was incredibly nervous
for the live reading, though!
**[2:18:21] Taichi**
I'm glad it went okay.
**[2:18:22] Taichi**
I'm sure some of you will be
coming to the night event, too.
**[2:18:26] Taichi**
I hope you have fun!
**[2:18:28] Taichi**
Thank you so much!
**[2:18:30] MC**
Thank you!
**[2:18:35] MC**
Now, Takahashi-san, go ahead.
**[2:18:37] Takahashi**
Yes, I'm Karin Takahashi, I play Karin.
**[2:18:39] Takahashi**
Thanks for coming today.
**[2:18:40] Takahashi**
We all did our recordings
in separate groups,
**[2:18:44] Takahashi**
so I was so happy to get to see everyone.
**[2:18:49] Takahashi**
And seeing all of you
out here made me realize
**[2:18:52] Takahashi**
that there are so many people who love
the anime, as well as the original manga.
**[2:18:56] Takahashi**
It was a wonderful time.
**[2:18:58] Takahashi**
Thank you so much!
**[2:19:00] MC**
Thank you!
**[2:19:05] MC**
Now your turn, Ise-san.
**[2:19:07] Ise**
All right. Once again,
I'm Mariya Ise, I play Himeno.
**[2:19:10] Ise**
Thank you so much.
**[2:19:12] Ise**
I think it was last summer
we did the recording?
**[2:19:16] Hamano**
About one year ago.
**[2:19:16] Ise**
Yeah, a year ago or so.
**[2:19:18] Ise**
And for those three months of summer,
I gave everything I had to Chainsaw Man.
**[2:19:27] Ise**
I would say I gave Himeno everything
I had, not just part of me...
**[2:19:35] Ise**
So I was a little nervous about how she
would come across to you all in the anime.
**[2:19:45] Ise**
But hearing all of you cheering has
made me feel like I did a good job.
**[2:19:52] Ise**
The manga's continuing and
I'm sure the anime will, too.
**[2:19:57] Ise**
So I hope you continue
to support Chainsaw Man.
**[2:20:01] Ise**
Thank you!
**[2:20:03] MC**
Thank you!
**[2:20:08] MC**
Next up is Fairouz-san.
**[2:20:10] Fairouz**
Once again, I'm Fairouz Ai, and I play Power.
**[2:20:13] Fairouz**
Did you all have fun today?
**[2:20:17] Fairouz**
Yay!
**[2:20:18] Fairouz**
It's thanks to me!
**[2:20:20] Fairouz**
That's a joke.
**[2:20:22] Fairouz**
Being here in this huge hall
with all you Chainsaw Man fans,
**[2:20:27] Fairouz**
as well as the actors, staff
and artists who love it so much,
**[2:20:33] Fairouz**
for this wonderful event, is something
that makes me really happy.
**[2:20:38] Fairouz**
I see a lot of people out there
in what looks like Devil Hunter outfits.
**[2:20:47] Fairouz**
Seeing you guys use your whole body
to express your love of Chainsaw Man,
**[2:20:53] Fairouz**
as someone who stands on stage
that made me really happy.
**[2:20:57] Fairouz**
I feel like I'm sharing
in the excitement with you.
**[2:21:01] Fairouz**
It was a lot of fun and it just flew by.
**[2:21:04] Fairouz**
If any of you are going to the night event,
**[2:21:07] Fairouz**
let's have lots more fun!
**[2:21:10] Fairouz**
Thank you for coming today!
**[2:21:13] MC**
Thank you.
**[2:21:17] MC**
Now, Sakata-san.
**[2:21:19] Sakata**
Once again, I'm Shogo Sakata,
I play Aki Hayakawa.
**[2:21:22] Sakata**
I got a little silly today,
hoping you could all have some fun.
**[2:21:31] Sakata**
Did you have fun?
**[2:21:33] Sakata**
Thank you! Thank you.
**[2:21:36] Sakata**
We'll do our best so that we can

There's a lot of people here.
**[2:22:00] Toya**
There's a lot of you all here.
**[2:22:04] Girl**
Very casual.
**[2:22:06] Sakata**
Nice.
**[2:22:06] Sakata**
It's like he's recording
a video for Twitter.
**[2:22:10] Toya**
I'm really happy to see so many people
enjoying Chainsaw Man and its anime.
**[2:22:19] Toya**
I'm so glad I worked so hard on it.
**[2:22:21] Toya**
And I had a great time today.
**[2:22:25] Toya**
So let's do it again!
**[2:22:28] Toya**
Yes.
**[2:22:29] Toya**
Well, there's the night event.
**[2:22:31] Toya**
Being able to see these artists in
person, and bring you these live readings,
**[2:22:38] Toya**
it was really wonderful.
**[2:22:40] Toya**
We'll try our best to do it again.
**[2:22:43] Toya**
So please keep supporting Chainsaw Man.
**[2:22:46] MC**
Thank you!
**[2:22:51] MC**
Now, that concludes our show,
**[2:22:54] MC**
but since we're all here we'd
like to take a photo with everyone.
**[2:22:59] MC**
Let's bring Pochita out, too.
**[2:23:01] MC**
Pochita.
**[2:23:02] All**
Pochita! Pochita!
**[2:23:05] All**
Pochita!
**[2:23:06] Girl**
He's so cute.
**[2:23:06] Girl**
The way he walks.
**[2:23:08] MC**
Slowly... he's coming slowly.
**[2:23:10] MC**
He's coming slowly...
**[2:23:11] MC**
He got faster! Faster!
**[2:23:14] MC**
You can take your time, Pochita.
**[2:23:16] MC**
Come here.
**[2:23:17] MC**
Now, let's all take a photo.
**[2:23:20] ---**
Oh, how cute.
**[2:23:21] Toya**
He's so fluffy!
**[2:23:23] Sakata**
Wow!

Get in place for the photo.
**[2:23:28] MC**
See how the chainsaw shakes?
**[2:23:31] MC**
Pochita, get beside them.
**[2:23:34] MC**
You guys, too!
**[2:23:35] MC**
Okay.
**[2:23:38] MC**
Can we all fit in?
**[2:23:40] MC**
Do they all stand?
**[2:23:42] MC**
Does everybody stand?
**[2:23:45] MC**
You're taking one kneeling
down and then standing.
**[2:23:48] MC**
We'll get some of you.
**[2:23:50] MC**
Pochita's blocking out a lot of people!
**[2:23:54] MC**
Oh, well! He's cute!
**[2:23:56] MC**
Everybody, are you ready?
**[2:23:59] MC**
Okay, Toya-san, you give the word.
**[2:24:03] Toya**
Are you all ready?
**[2:24:05] All**
Yes!
**[2:24:06] Toya**
Here we go!
**[2:24:09] Toya**
Say cheese!
**[2:24:16] MC**
One more. Oh, can I be in it?
**[2:24:17] MC**
Thank you.
**[2:24:19] MC**
Sorry.
**[2:24:21] Toya**
Here we go!
**[2:24:22] Toya**
Say cheese!
**[2:24:28] MC**
Standing.
**[2:24:29] MC**
Standing without me... no, I can be here.
**[2:24:33] Toya**
It's okay.
**[2:24:34] MC**
It's okay for me to be here.
**[2:24:39] Toya**
Say cheese!
**[2:24:45] MC**
And a version without me.
**[2:24:46] Toya**
We are taking one, then.
**[2:24:48] MC**
I'll make a pose like
I'm in the photo, though!
**[2:24:52] Toya**
Here we go! Say cheese!
**[2:24:53] Faiz**
Asshole!
**[2:24:59] Faiz**
I think I was way too tense.
**[2:25:02] MC**
Want to do another? Did that work?
**[2:25:04] MC**
Want to do that again?
**[2:25:05] Toya**
Yeah, forget that.
**[2:25:06] MC**
No pushing.
**[2:25:08] Toya**
Say cheese!
**[2:25:14] MC**
Okay! Thank you all!
**[2:25:17] MC**

**[00:36] Denji**
Pochita?
**[00:40] Denji**
Did you take my body, like I said?
**[00:44] Pochita**
I always loved hearing you talk
about your dreams, Denji.
**[00:51] Pochita**
Here's the deal. I'll give you my heart...
**[00:55] Pochita**
And in exchange, I want you
to show me your dream.
**[01:00] Denji**
Pochita?!
**[01:08] Denji**
I'm not hurt?
**[01:16] Denji**
Pochita...?
**[01:25] Zombie Devil**
What is this?
**[01:27] Zombie Devil**
You're alive after being sliced up?
**[01:29] Zombie Devil**
Why? Gross!
**[01:31] Zombie Devil**
I seriously hate devil hunters.
**[01:34] Zombie Devil**
Guys, go ahead and eat him.
**[01:43] Denji**
* These guys had plenty already,*
* so why'd they want even more?*
**[01:49] Denji**
*Am I the same?*
**[01:51] Denji**
* I wasn't satisfied with*
* the happiness I had with Pochita.*
**[01:55] Denji**
*I kept dreaming about a better life.*
**[01:59] Denji**
* I guess we all dream*
* about stuff like that, huh?*
**[02:04] Denji**
*I can't blame you, then.*
**[02:07] Denji**
*And I won't, but...*
**[02:11] Denji**
*If you get in our way?*
**[02:17] Denji**
You'll die!
**[03:49] Toya**
Good afternoon, everybody!
**[03:57] Toya**
Make that good evening, actually. Sorry.
**[04:00] Toya**
You're allowed to make
as much noise as you want today,
**[04:04] Toya**
and you know what that means, right?
**[04:07] Toya**
Let's get a Chainsaw Man
call going, then! Ready?
**[04:12] Toya**
And...
**[04:13] Toya**
Chainsaw Man! Chainsaw Man!
**[04:17] Toya**
Chainsaw Man! Chainsaw Man! Chainsaw Man!

The night special is now underway,
**[05:11] Mukai**
and we've already started off
with a live reading from Toya-san,
**[05:15] Mukai**
what did you all think of that?
**[05:20] Mukai**
Thank you so much!
**[05:22] Mukai**
Man, wasn't that cool?
**[05:25] Mukai**
A live reading isn't something
you see every day,
**[05:28] Mukai**
and Toya-san pulled it off himself.
**[05:30] Mukai**
And we've got plenty more
where those came from,
**[05:34] Mukai**
in addition to performances
from the many amazing artists
**[05:37] Mukai**
who performed the ending themes,
**[05:40] Mukai**
so I hope you'll stick with us to the end!
**[05:42] Mukai**
Everybody ready to get hyped?!

I'm so glad you're all here.
**[09:33] Cast**
Glad to be here.
**[09:34] Mukai**
Tomori Kusunoki-san was also
scheduled to be here tonight,
**[09:37] Mukai**
but she's unfortunately not
feeling well, and couldn't join us.
**[09:41] Mukai**
I'd like to apologize to everyone
who was looking forward to seeing her,
**[09:44] Mukai**
and ask for your understanding.
**[09:46] Mukai**
I have a message from her right here,
and would like to read it now.
**[09:53] Mukai**
"I was really looking forward to a chance
to have fun with the Chainsaw Man audience,
**[09:58] Mukai**
and regret not being able to make it."
**[09:59] Mukai**
"I'd like to apologize to everyone
who was looking forward to seeing me."
**[10:03] Mukai**
"I'm going to work on getting
well again as soon as possible."
**[10:06] Mukai**
"The fact that you're
attending an event like this
**[10:07] Mukai**
probably means you already
like Chainsaw Man,"
**[10:11] Mukai**
"but I hope you'll continue to
anticipate what the future may bring."
**[10:16] Mukai**
And there you have it.
**[10:17] Mukai**
Pretty clear she wanted to come...
**[10:19] Mukai**
But we know she's here in spirit.
**[10:21] Toya**
That's right.
**[10:21] Mukai**
And that's good.
**[10:22] Fairouz**
Not only that, but for my birthday,
**[10:25] Fairouz**
Tomori-chan got me eyeshadow that's
the same shade of pink as Power,
**[10:28] Fairouz**
and I'm wearing it today!
**[10:30] Mukai**
That's cute!
**[10:31] Fairouz**
Get better soon, Tomori-chan!
**[10:33] Mukai**
We hope you're doing
well! And get better soon!
**[10:36] Mukai**
Thank you. That's good to know.
**[10:39] Mukai**
And with the eight of you here in spirit,
we're going to continue with the show.
**[10:44] Mukai**
We ran the daytime segment earlier,
and that was quite a show, as well!
**[10:48] Cast**
Sure was!
**[10:51] Mukai**
I was really impressed,
**[10:52] Mukai**
both the live readings and the music
performances were fantastic.
**[10:56] Mukai**
So, what did you think of
the daytime segment, Sakata-san?
**[11:00] Sakata**
I was really impressed
with your emceeing, Mukai-san.
**[11:04] Mukai**
Aw, shucks!
**[11:06] Mukai**
Thanks for that. I'm the Emcee Devil,
nice to meet you.
**[11:11] Cast**
That dance too, that was pretty cute.
**[11:13] Toya**
That dance was something!
**[11:14] Fairouz**
You're going to do it again
for the night segment, right?
**[11:17] Mukai**
And here we have
the Setting-Expectations Devil.
**[11:20] Mukai**
I dunno about that...
**[11:21] Cast**
Scary...
**[11:21] Cast**
Very intimidating!
**[11:22] Mukai**
But it's our intention to
make sure that tonight's show
**[11:25] Mukai**
is every bit as good
as the daytime segment was.
**[11:28] Mukai**
Now, then, to start off,
**[11:30] Mukai**
let's run through a digest montage
of Chainsaw Man episodes 1 through 12.
**[11:38] Mukai**
Toya-san, could you
introduce us to the footage?
**[11:42] Toya**
Right, let's take a look!
**[29:54] Mukai**
Thank you very much!
That was the digest montage!
**[29:59] Mukai**
Well, was that nicely put together or what?
**[30:03] Mukai**
Seriously, looking back on everything,
with associated songs for all 12 episodes...
**[30:11] Mukai**
So, looking back on it now, what
did you think of Chainsaw Man?
**[30:18] Mukai**
Well, that definitely sounds excited to me!
**[30:20] Mukai**
And it makes perfect sense.
**[30:21] Mukai**
Now, we've seen that rundown
of so many lovely scenes,
**[30:24] Mukai**
and now we're moving onto our next segment:
**[30:28] Mukai**
the Chainsaw Man Concert Stage!
**[30:33] Mukai**
Thank you so much!
**[30:35] Mukai**
First up will be the artists for the ending
theme of episode 10 of Chainsaw Man,
**[30:40] Mukai**
PEOPLE1.
**[30:43] Mukai**
Right, thank you for that applause!
**[30:46] Mukai**
And can anyone blame you?
**[30:48] Mukai**
Now, for episode 10, after
being attacked by Samurai Sword,
**[30:50] Mukai**
the Public Safety Devil Extermination
Special Division is on the verge of collapse.
**[30:54] Mukai**
Aki forces through his grief
to harden his resolve,
**[30:57] Mukai**
while Denji and Power receive training
**[30:59] Mukai**
from the self-proclaimed
strongest Devil Hunter, Kishibe.
**[31:01] Mukai**
The ending animation
was also quite impactful,
**[31:03] Mukai**
featuring Denji screaming
and running down an alley.
**[31:07] Mukai**
Now, remember folks, you can
make as much noise as you want,
**[31:09] Mukai**
and are cleared for standing ovations...
**[31:11] Mukai**
Ready to make some noise?
Should we get started?
**[31:16] Mukai**
Sounds like it, so let's
get going at full throttle.
**[31:21] Mukai**
This is "DOGLAND" by PEOPLE1! Enjoy!
**[33:41] PEOPLE1**
Chainsaw Fes, you rock!
**[34:41] PEOPLE1**
Thank you!
**[34:52] Mukai**
Thank you very much, that was PEOPLE1!
**[34:59] Mukai**
How cool was that?
**[35:01] Mukai**
Emerging from the city like that...
**[35:04] Mukai**
This is a pretty sweet set
we've got, right? Really adds to it.
**[35:07] Mukai**
Now that we've had our first
performance from the concert stage,
**[35:11] Mukai**
were you all able to
max out your hype levels?
**[35:15] Mukai**
Thank you very much, I'm sure
the guys from PEOPLE1 love to hear that.
**[35:20] Mukai**
Now, with that performance over,
we've got our next segment to move onto.
**[35:26] Mukai**
The order is gonna be live performance,
then live reading, then special segment,
**[35:30] Mukai**
so I hope you'll stick
with us all the way through.
**[35:35] Mukai**
Now that you're worked
up from a bit of rocking,
**[35:38] Mukai**
we wanna make sure you leave tonight
completely exhausted from having a good time.
**[35:42] Mukai**
Y'know, it's been said before,
but this is really fantastic.
**[35:46] Mukai**
An event being able to happen
in spite of everything,
**[35:49] Mukai**
and for the timing to allow
cheers from the audience,
**[35:51] Mukai**
it really makes Chainsaw Fes feel special.
**[35:55] Mukai**
And it's our hope to make sure
that it lives up to that feeling.
**[36:00] Mukai**
Moving right along, next up we have
a live reading from the cast.
**[36:08] Mukai**
This is going to be a famous scene
from the first half of the anime.
**[36:11] Mukai**
Once the lights go out,
the scene will be over,
**[36:15] Mukai**
and that's your cue to give our
actors a big round of applause.
**[36:18] Mukai**
We're going to have five sections
for this, and we hope you like it.
**[36:21] Mukai**
Here we go, a live
Chainsaw Man reading! Enjoy!

DOG & CHAINSAW
**[36:41] Young Denji**
Too hungry to sleep.
**[36:44] Young Denji**
When I can't sleep,
I start thinking about money,
**[36:46] Young Denji**
and then it's even harder to sleep.
**[36:51] Young Denji**
I know what dream I wanna have when I sleep.
**[36:54] Young Denji**
Gonna put jam on my bread,
and share it with you.
**[36:58] Young Denji**
Then I'm gonna flirt with a girl...
**[37:01] Young Denji**
I'll play video games with her, and then
we'll fall asleep hugging each other.
**[37:06] Young Denji**
Sounds sweet, right?
**[37:22] Young Denji**
Y'know, I heard my mom died from some
heart disease that made her cough up blood.
**[37:31] Yakuza**
Got a devil for you, Denji. Time for work.
**[37:53] Denji**
*Wish they'd at least let me dream...*
**[38:08] Sign**
DOG & CHAINSAW
**[38:31] Makima**
Someone got here before us.
**[38:42] Agent A**
There's still one alive.
**[38:59] Makima**
You've got a strange smell.
**[39:02] Makima**
Not like a human or a devil.
**[39:08] Makima**
I take it you did this?
**[39:14] Denji**
H-Hug me...
**[39:36] Makima**
He's human.
**[39:37] Agent B**
Any chance he's possessed?
**[39:40] Makima**
No.
**[39:41] Makima**
I can tell who's possessed
with a look at their face.
**[39:46] Makima**
I came here to kill the Zombie Devil.
**[39:49] Makima**
I'm a devil hunter with Public Safety.
**[39:56] Makima**
You have two options:
**[39:59] Makima**
I can kill you like a devil,
**[40:03] Makima**
or I can keep you as a human.
**[40:06] Makima**
If I keep you, I'll make sure you're fed.
**[40:19] Denji**
When you say that...
**[40:21] Denji**
Like, what's for breakfast?
**[40:25] Makima**
Bread with butter and jam, salad, coffee...
**[40:30] Makima**
And then maybe something
for dessert, I think?
**[40:42] Denji**
That sounds awesome.
**[41:01] Sign**
ARRIVAL IN TOKYO
**[41:09] Makima**
I'm assigning you a partner
starting today, Denji.
**[41:13] Denji**
Partner?
**[41:14] Makima**
As a precaution, Public Safety executes patrols
**[41:17] Makima**
and smaller missions with two-person teams.
**[41:22] Makima**
This is great timing. She's here.
**[41:26] Makima**
Be careful. She's a Fiend.
**[41:31] Power**
Prostrate yourselves, humans!
**[41:34] Power**
For I am Power!
**[41:36] Power**
Are you to be my so-called partner?!
**[41:38] Denji**
Power?! Your name's Power?!
**[41:41] Denji**
And you're a Fiend?!
**[41:42] Denji**
Are Fiends allowed to be Devil Hunters?!
**[41:48] Denji**
Well, whatever! Nice to meet you!
**[41:52] Makima**
Fiends, like devils,
are targets for extermination.
**[41:55] Makima**
But Power's highly rational,
**[41:58] Makima**
so she's been on Hayakawa's team.
**[42:00] Makima**
I mentioned this before,
**[42:02] Makima**
but Public Safety Devil Extermination
Special Division 4 is an experimental unit.
**[42:06] Makima**
The higher-ups will be looking
to dissolve your team as soon as possible
**[42:09] Makima**
if you can't get results.
**[42:11] Makima**
I don't need to explain what would happen
to you two if that happens, do I?

RESCUE
**[42:39] Leech Devil**
Time to *eat*...
**[42:48] Aki**
Kon.
**[42:54] Leech Devil**
Huh... Huh?
**[42:57] Fox Devil**
Looks like she's the Leech Devil.
May I swallow?
**[43:02] Aki**
Do it.
**[43:20] Aki**
The Leech Devil's extermination is confirmed.
**[43:22] Aki**
I want the rookies handling search
and rescue, plus assisting with the evac.
**[43:25] Arai**
Yes, sir!
**[43:25] Kobeni**
Okay!
**[43:26] Aki**
Himeno, you've got seniority,
so keep watch for more devils.
**[43:30] Himeno**
On it.
**[43:32] Denji**
Dream battle... Gonna... My dream battle...
**[43:37] Aki**
You and the Blood Fiend
need to be debriefed.
**[43:40] Denji**
My dream battle!
**[43:41] Power**
And Meowy?
**[43:47] Aki**
Have the cat sent to a veterinarian
for a thorough checkup.
**[44:01] Sign**
KILL DENJI
**[44:09] Kobeni**
We're all gonna die here.
**[44:13] Kobeni**
We're gonna starve to death.
**[44:15] Arai**
H-Hang in there, Kobeni!
**[44:17] Arai**
Didn't you become a Devil Hunter
to send your brother to college?!
**[44:21] Kobeni**
They basically forced me to do it.
**[44:24] Kobeni**
My parents are set on my
older brother going to college,
**[44:26] Kobeni**
since he's the gifted one.
**[44:28] Kobeni**
So they made me get a job.
**[44:31] Kobeni**
It was become a Devil Hunter
or a sex worker!
**[44:39] Kobeni**
I wanted to go to college, too!
**[44:42] Kobeni**
And now I'm gonna die here!
**[44:51] Power**
Her face...!
**[44:54] Arai**
Enough!
**[44:56] Arai**
Quit laughing!
**[44:59] Himeno**
Kobeni, devils love fear, okay?
**[45:04] Himeno**
If you get scared, you're giving them
what they want, sweetie.
**[45:07] Kobeni**
But I'm so scared!
**[45:11] Himeno**
Something bothering you, too, Aki?
**[45:16] Aki**
The clocks in this room...
**[45:18] Aki**
have been stuck at 8:18 for a while now.
**[45:21] Aki**
In every single room... it's 8:18.
**[45:28] Aki**
There's a chance that time has been
frozen here on the eighth floor.
**[45:33] Aki**
And if that's the case, no one is coming.
**[45:39] Denji**
Oh, shit! Then we can sleep all we want, right?
**[45:43] Arai**
How stupid are you?
**[45:45] Arai**
We might be trapped in here forever.
**[45:50] Denji**
I mean, we might be, but we
might not be, too, y'know?
**[45:54] Denji**
Wake me when you figure it out.
**[45:56] Denji**
This bed is freaking sweet.
It'd be stupid not to sleep in it.
**[46:00] Denji**
I owe the devil for this nap.
**[46:13] Aki**
He's actually asleep...
**[46:18] Himeno**
Denji.
**[46:20] Himeno**
Rise and shine, Denji.
**[46:29] Denji**
We find a way off the eighth floor yet?
**[46:31] Himeno**
Hate to break it to you, but not yet.
**[46:34] Himeno**
We found out the power and electricity
are still working while you were asleep.
**[46:39] Himeno**
There was a little bit of food that some of
the guests who ran must've left behind.
**[46:44] Himeno**
I'll be honest, everyone's really worn out.
**[46:48] Himeno**
Aki's been searching
for the devil nonstop.
**[46:51] Himeno**
I told him to take a break,
but he won't listen.
**[46:55] Himeno**
Arai was helping Aki at first,
**[46:59] Himeno**
but now he's locked himself up in
another room to have a panic attack.
**[47:03] Himeno**
Kobeni freaked out and tried to drink
toilet bowl water, so I knocked her out.
**[47:08] Himeno**
And as for the Fiend...
**[47:11] Denji**
Something happen to Power?
**[47:13] Power**
Given there's nothing else to do,
I've decided to win the Nobel Prize!
**[47:16] Power**
Once I've earned such glorious esteem,
the humans will all kowtow to me!
**[47:20] Power**
And with the Nobel Prize as my foothold,
**[47:23] Power**
I shall ascend to the prime minister's throne!
**[47:25] Power**
What better way to ensure human suffering?
**[47:29] Power**
My first act will be passing a 100% sales tax!
**[47:33] Denji**
She's always like that.
**[47:34] Himeno**
Huh. Okay, then.
**[47:38] Himeno**
Let's take turns watching Kobeni and Arai.
**[47:41] Himeno**
I couldn't even use the bathroom
when it was just me.
**[48:00] Himeno**
Well, this is my last cigarette.
**[48:03] Power**
I'm bored by how little this upsets you.
**[48:05] Himeno**
I can take it easy because
Aki's working hard.
**[48:11] Himeno**
The nicotine also helps!
**[48:13] Himeno**
Gotta have a port in a storm, right?
**[48:17] Himeno**
Life is sweeter with a bit of dependence.
**[48:20] Denji**
Hey, that's the same brand he smokes.
**[48:26] Himeno**
That's because Aki learned all
about the flavor of cigarettes
**[48:29] Himeno**
from yours truly!
**[48:39] Mukai**
Thank you so much!
**[48:44] Mukai**
Thank you for the applause,
that was our live reading!
**[48:46] Mukai**
How did you all like it?
**[48:51] Mukai**
So good!
**[48:53] Mukai**
That was really amazing!
What in the world? Wow!
**[48:57] Mukai**
And at the end there,
with the back and forth,
**[48:59] Mukai**
everyone in such different
emotional places...
**[49:01] Mukai**
And doing it all in one go
like that! Remarkable!
**[49:04] Mukai**
While the shock hasn't worn off yet,
**[49:07] Mukai**
I thought I would invite the rest of the cast
**[49:10] Mukai**
to give their impressions
from the live reading.
**[49:14] Mukai**
First up is Hamano-san and Taichi-san.
Come on over, please!
**[49:18] Hamano**
Coming.
**[49:19] Taichi**
Here.
**[49:21] Hamano**
Wow...
**[49:26] Hamano**
Scenes like that are really nice too, huh?
**[49:28] Mukai**
They really are!
**[49:29] Mukai**
I think it's fair to say
the first half of the show
**[49:33] Mukai**
has more laid-back scenes like that.
**[49:37] Hamano**
Right.
**[49:38] Mukai**
But even among those, there's still
so much variety in what you get.
**[49:42] Mukai**
What did you think, Taichi-san?
**[49:43] Taichi**
This is something I believe
the audience probably got too, but...
**[49:47] Taichi**
Seeing it live, in real time...
**[49:50] Taichi**
The emotions come across
more vividly, I think.
**[49:54] Taichi**
It felt even more realistic, I think.
**[49:57] Hamano**
It did.
**[49:58] Taichi**
I think that made it really interesting for
the people who were watching and listening.
**[50:02] Taichi**
What do you say?
**[50:04] Taichi**
Thank you.
**[50:07] Taichi**
I was impressed.
**[50:09] Hamano**
I dunno about that 100% sales tax, though.
**[50:12] Taichi**
Tell me about it! What the heck?
**[50:14] Mukai**
I really wouldn't take her
that seriously, to be honest.
**[50:16] Mukai**
She already stopped making sense when
she decided to win the Nobel Prize.
**[50:20] Hamano**
I could see her becoming president, though.
**[50:21] Mukai**
You really think she'd get that far?
**[50:23] Mukai**
You have that kind of faith?
**[50:24] Taichi**
I'd say she has a better
than zero percent chance.
**[50:26] Mukai**
I'd want to think it is zero.
**[50:28] Taichi**
I guess so...
**[50:29] Mukai**
But that was an amazing live reading.
**[50:33] Mukai**
And there's more to come!
**[50:34] Mukai**
So I hope you'll all
look forward to that, too.
**[50:38] Taichi**
Right.
**[50:38] Mukai**
Now that we've finished up here,
let's move onto our next segment.
**[50:43] Mukai**
Next is a special segment:
"Our Music" Tour Edition!
**[50:49] Taichi**
Yeah!
**[50:50] Hamano**
Yeah!
**[50:52] Mukai**
"Our Music" was a special Chainsaw Man
radio program that aired until recently.
**[50:56] Mukai**
It featured guest artists who would come
on to discuss the appeal of Chainsaw Man,
**[51:01] Mukai**
so this time, for the
touring edition, the conversation
**[51:04] Mukai**
will be between our seven cast members
and our musical performers!
**[51:08] Mukai**
That is quite a lineup!
**[51:09] Hamano**
It sure is.
**[51:09] Taichi**
Really! You don't see that every day.
**[51:10] Hamano**
I'm looking forward to hearing
what everyone has to say.
**[51:13] Mukai**
Let's start by being joined by the rest
of the cast, if you could all come on stage.
**[51:19] Mukai**
You can go on and join them,
Hamano-san, Taichi-san.
**[51:22] Hamano**
Sure.
**[51:27] Mukai**
Wow...
**[51:31] Mukai**
There's the guy who was yawning earlier.
**[51:36] Mukai**
But it was part of the performance.
It was really convincing!
**[51:37] Toya**
That it was.
**[51:38] Mukai**
Great back and forth with Himeno, too.
**[51:40] Mukai**
And next, let's introduce our musical artists.
**[51:45] Mukai**
They're going to be performing later on,
**[51:48] Mukai**
but first they'll be
joining us for this segment.
**[51:51] Mukai**
Let's have a big round of applause
for Syudou, TOOBOE, and Ano!
**[51:58] Syudou**
Thanks for having us!
**[52:05] Cast**
How cute!
**[52:06] Cast**
Really cute.
**[52:07] Mukai**
These are some wonderful
outfits you all have.
**[52:11] Mukai**
Go ahead and introduce
yourselves, if you would.
**[52:15] Mukai**
You first, Syudou-san.
**[52:16] Syudou**
Hey, I'm Syudou.
**[52:18] Syudou**
I'm really grateful to be up here
for something like this today.
**[52:22] Syudou**
Looking forward to talking,
so thanks for having me.
**[52:24] Mukai**
Thanks for coming.
**[52:28] Mukai**
Next up, TOOBOE-san, go ahead.
**[52:31] Tooboe**
I'm TOOBOE, it's nice to meet you.
**[52:33] Mukai**
Thanks for coming.
**[52:34] Tooboe**
I kinda get the feeling everyone wants
to hurry up and get to Ano-chan...
**[52:38] Ano**
That's not true!
**[52:40] Tooboe**
Don't worry about the guy in black.
**[52:42] Mukai**
That is your whole look, today.
**[52:43] Tooboe**
I'm glad to be here.
**[52:44] Mukai**
Thanks for coming.
**[52:47] Mukai**
And now let's hear from Ano-chan.
**[52:49] Ano**
Hi, I'm Ano, thanks for having me.
**[52:51] Mukai**
Thanks for coming!
**[52:53] Cast**
Are those chainsaws?
**[52:55] Mukai**
They sure are.
**[52:56] Mukai**
They're not quite symmetrical, too.
**[52:58] Ano**
I came today in the outfit
I wore in the music video.
**[53:02] Mukai**
Well, that is nice!
**[53:05] Mukai**
And what a lovely look it is.
She's the Style Devil.
**[53:11] Mukai**
Thanks for coming.
**[53:12] Mukai**
Aw, come on, don't look that disturbed.
**[53:15] Mukai**
That was good, actually. We got
an on-stage reaction of disgust!
**[53:18] Mukai**
Sorry about that.
**[53:20] Mukai**
And these will be our artists for today's
talk section. Thanks for coming, everyone.
**[53:25] Cast**
Thanks for joining us!
**[53:26] Artists**
Thanks!
**[53:28] Mukai**
You can all have a seat now.
**[53:31] Mukai**
This should be interesting.
**[53:34] Mukai**
So during the day, we had
the artists asking the cast questions,
**[53:38] Mukai**
but I think for tonight, we'll have
the cast ask questions for the artists.
**[53:43] Mukai**
First up, Taichi-san, go ahead.
**[53:45] Taichi**
So, what I would like to ask our artists is...
**[53:49] Taichi**
What was your first reaction upon hearing
**[53:53] Taichi**
you'd be working on
a project like Chainsaw Man?
**[53:57] Mukai**
That's a good one!
**[53:58] Mukai**
So, representing the artist's side,
let's hear from Ano-chan.
**[54:03] Mukai**
What did you think?
**[54:04] Ano**
Well, to be honest, the first
thing I felt was surprised.
**[54:10] Mukai**
I see.
**[54:11] Ano**
Like, "They want me?!"
**[54:14] Ano**
And then after that, I was really glad.
**[54:20] Mukai**
You shifted from surprise to happiness?
**[54:21] Ano**
I started getting happy, and excited,
thinking about what kind of song it should be.
**[54:27] Ano**
And how the project would shape up,
with all the different artists involved.
**[54:32] Ano**
It was a real mix of different feelings.
**[54:35] Mukai**
Would you say you felt the same kind
of anticipation that the viewers did?
**[54:41] Ano**
I think so. I was really
looking forward to it.
**[54:44] Mukai**
That's good. You really
had a earnest reaction.
**[54:48] Mukai**
Let's talk to Syudou-san, too.
What did you think at the time?
**[54:52] Syduou**
Well, at first, I couldn't believe it.
I was really overjoyed.
**[54:57] Syduou**
Before the anime was even in production,
this was a story that I really loved
**[55:01] Syduou**
and wanted to be involved in.
**[55:03] Syduou**
So when I first heard that I was gonna
be involved, I was like, "For real?!"
**[55:08] Mukai**
You didn't believe it at first?
**[55:09] Syudou**
Right.
**[55:10] Syudou**
And as the meetings and such started
to happen, I got the chance to visit MAPPA,
**[55:15] Syudou**
and talking with all the different staff,
**[55:17] Syudou**
I realized, "This is probably too
elaborate for a practical joke."
**[55:21] Mukai**
And is that still a possibility, then?
**[55:23] Syudou**
It is?! After all this?
**[55:24] Mukai**
Probably not at this point, no.
**[55:26] Syudou**
Yeah, once the show actually aired,
I figured that theory was dead.
**[55:31] Syudou**
But back in the meetings is when it really
dawned on me that it was actually happening.
**[55:34] Syudou**
It's just been such
a huge surprise, and honor.
**[55:38] Syudou**
This has really been a wonderful gig.
**[55:41] Mukai**
Shock and then excitement seems
to have been the course, then.
**[55:46] Syduou**
I'd say so, that about covers it.
**[55:48] Mukai**
What do you think, Taichi-san?
**[55:50] Taichi**
Honestly, a lot of the cast really
loved the manga beforehand, too.
**[55:58] Taichi**
So when they posted the casting announcements,
you'd see in the comments we gave...
**[56:01] Taichi**
Almost everyone said something like, "I loved
the manga and am thrilled to be involved!"
**[56:07] Taichi**
So I definitely feel sympathy
when it comes to the shock
**[56:11] Taichi**
of getting to work on something like this.
**[56:15] Mukai**
The original manga really
did take the world by storm.
**[56:18] Taichi**
It did.
**[56:19] Mukai**
That is interesting.
**[56:22] Mukai**
Let's keep it going. Takahashi-san,
do you have a question for us?
**[56:26] Takhashi**
Yes! I was wanting to ask,
**[56:28] Takhashi**
the individual songs really
did feel pretty tailored
**[56:31] Takhashi**
to the episodes that they aired with,
**[56:33] Takhashi**
so I was curious if you had any thoughts
to share from the production process.
**[56:35] Takhashi**
And also how did you end up with
the episodes you ended up working on?
**[56:40] Mukai**
That is an interesting question, right.
**[56:42] Mukai**
Let's start with you, TOOBOE-san.
**[56:45] Tooboe**
Right.
**[56:46] Mukai**
If you could take the lead here,
since we've actually got two questions.
**[56:49] Tooboe**
Well, regarding the episode,
**[56:52] Tooboe**
the folks at MAPPA actually told me
I would be working on episode 4.
**[56:57] Tooboe**
And they gave me a look
at the storyboard for it.
**[57:02] Tooboe**
Naturally, I had read the manga,
so I knew the sequence of events involved...
**[57:07] Tooboe**
So, knowing it would end on
the scene with grabbing Power's boob,
**[57:11] Tooboe**
they asked me to do a song about her
that would follow that moment.
**[57:16] Tooboe**
I honestly thought, "Are you
sure you want me for this?"
**[57:19] Mukai**
You felt that, too?
**[57:21] Tooboe**
I wondered if a girl would be better
suited to singing a song about Power.
**[57:27] Tooboe**
But I thought about why they
would have picked me for the job...
**[57:32] Tooboe**
And made the song trying
to represent my perspective,
**[57:38] Tooboe**
or really more Denji's perspective on Power.
**[57:42] Takahashi**
Thank you so much!
**[57:44] Mukai**
Hearing all that, it makes you
think about how it was created.
**[57:47] Mukai**
And considering we saw
the complete version first,
**[57:50] Mukai**
it always seemed like a perfect fit.
**[57:51] Takahashi**
That's true.
**[57:53] Mukai**
That's really interesting.
**[57:54] Mukai**
Let's hear from Ano-chan, too.
**[57:57] Ano**
Well, MAPPA said they
wanted me to do episode 7.
**[58:03] Ano**
And I thought... "Wow, this is a crazy one."
**[58:07] Mukai**
That is true!
Once you find out what it's about.
**[58:10] Ano**
And since I'd read the manga too,
**[58:12] Ano**
and considering the story changes so much
starting with the next episode...
**[58:18] Ano**
It's like the last scene
before that big change.
**[58:22] Ano**
And just like TOOBOE-san, I wondered...
**[58:25] Ano**
"You've got so many
amazing artists. Why me?"
**[58:30] Ano**
But I realized that's why
I should try to do the kind of song
**[58:33] Ano**
only I could create and perform.
**[58:36] Ano**
So, based off having read the manga,
**[58:39] Ano**
I wanted to make the kind
of song that I would like...
**[58:46] Ano**
And from there, it was about combining
the different parts and balancing it.
**[58:50] Ano**
And that's how we ended up
with "Barfy Smooch."
**[58:53] Mukai**
It's honestly pretty impressive,
**[58:55] Mukai**
because in terms of impact, your song
is definitely one of the best in class.
**[58:58] Mukai**
What do you think, Takahashi-san?
**[59:01] Takahashi**
I'm just honestly impressed how you
all created such amazingly unique songs,
**[59:06] Takahashi**
but they fit the episodes perfectly.
**[59:08] Takahashi**
It's impressive that MAPPA knew
who to assign which episode, too.
**[59:11] Mukai**
Right? The fact that they were able to pick
**[59:14] Mukai**
the right artist for the right
episode is really something.
**[59:16] Takahashi**
It is.
**[59:18] Mukai**
And they all were a perfect match.
**[59:20] Takashi**
Thank you so much!
**[59:22] Mukai**
That was really a great question.
Great question and great answers.
**[59:26] Mukai**
Not the kind of thing you can hear every day.
**[59:29] Mukai**
I'd like to hear from everyone,
so let's keep it rolling.
**[59:32] Mukai**
Sakata-san! Let's go.
**[59:34] Sakata**
Sure.
**[59:35] Sakata**
And I came up with a good one.
**[59:38] Mukai**
You're getting our hopes up!
**[59:39] Taichi**
Here we go.
**[59:40] Sakata**
When you were writing the music and lyrics...
**[59:45] Sakata**
And really, during any part of the process,
**[59:48] Sakata**
was there any particular moment where you
thought, "That's it!" in terms of inspiration?
**[59:51] Artists**
Oh, right.
**[59:53] Sakata**
Like, were you in any particular place
at the time, like at home on the sofa maybe.
**[59:57] Sakata**
I was curious about that.
**[59:59] Mukai**
Interesting. What was the moment
that the song really came to you?
**[1:00:02] Mukai**
Let's find out.
**[1:00:04] Mukai**
What do you think? Syudou-san.
**[1:00:05] Syudou**
Well, it tends to change over time,
but recently, I bought a car.
**[1:00:14] Syudou**
And when I'm driving,
I'll sometimes have moments
**[1:00:16] Syudou**
where I'm like, "Wait, what
if I did this? That'd be great!"
**[1:00:21] Syudou**
But because I'm driving,
I can't take a voice memo,
**[1:00:24] Syudou**
so I'll pull over and sing really loud, and
get really weird looks from pedestrians.
**[1:00:29] Syudou**
And then once I'm done it's like,
"Okay, done!" and I head home.
**[1:00:33] Syudou**
It tends to happen while
driving a lot, lately.
**[1:00:35] Mukai**
I see.
**[1:00:36] Mukai**
And the inspiration really does
just come out of the blue like that?
**[1:00:39] Syudou**
Well, it usually only comes after having
thought about it for a good while...
**[1:00:43] Syudou**
But the thing with a car is, you can
get pretty loud while driving.
**[1:00:46] Syudou**
And I think not having to worry about
my volume helps me unlock something.
**[1:00:51] Sakata**
Thank you very much.
**[1:00:53] Mukai**
That is great. Having it
come up at a time like that...
**[1:00:55] Mukai**
In comparison, Ano-chan,
how does it work for you?
**[1:00:58] Ano**
Honestly, a lot of it is
while doing normal things.
**[1:01:02] Ano**
Or sometimes, I'll be
listening to someone talk...
**[1:01:05] Mukai**
That makes it sound like
you're not really listening!
**[1:01:08] Mukai**
If it comes to you in a conversation.
**[1:01:10] Ano**
It's just, at times like that,
**[1:01:12] Ano**
little bits of other songs
will be bouncing around my head,
**[1:01:16] Ano**
and when the idea hits, I'll usually head
to the bathroom and record a voice memo.
**[1:01:21] Mukai**
That seems to be really common.
**[1:01:23] Ano**
Sometimes it'll be at home while showering,
or when I'm in an elevator...
**[1:01:29] Ano**
It can really happen at any time.
**[1:01:33] Mukai**
I guess with melodies and such,
you can think about it non-stop,
**[1:01:35] Mukai**
and then just have
the answer spring up on you.
**[1:01:38] Mukai**
What do you think, Sakata-san?
**[1:01:40] Sakata**
I just have to say thanks.
**[1:01:43] Sakata**
It's like... kinda...
**[1:01:45] Taichi**
He's babbling! And the question was so good!
**[1:01:48] Mukai**
Sakata-san...
**[1:01:48] Hamano**
It's his vocabulary.
His vocabulary vanished.
**[1:01:50] Sakata**
I just wasn't ready to get the mic again!
**[1:01:52] Sakata**
It was so sudden!
**[1:01:54] Mukai**
He's acting like a nerd at a meet-and-greet.
**[1:01:56] Taichi**
He got swept away.
**[1:01:59] Sakata**
That definitely satisfied
my curiosity, so thank you.
**[1:02:02] Mukai**
That it did. Do you find
it's the same, TOOBOE-san,
**[1:02:04] Mukai**
that inspiration comes to you out
of nowhere and you have to take a voice memo?
**[1:02:08] Tooboe**
For me, it's more like it never comes at all.
**[1:02:11] Tooboe**
So I hunker down at my desk, open up
my music production software...
**[1:02:17] Tooboe**
And just sort of build it piece by piece.
**[1:02:20] Tooboe**
I've never even taken a voice memo before.
**[1:02:23] Mukai**
Never?
**[1:02:25] Tooboe**
Never. I can't get started unless
I'm sitting at my desk, I think.
**[1:02:30] Tooboe**
Like I'm never sitting in the bath and
have it descend on me out of nowhere.
**[1:02:33] Mukai**
Really?
**[1:02:34] Mukai**
That really proves how it works
differently for everyone, then.
**[1:02:37] Sakata**
Really.
**[1:02:37] Mukai**
Thank you so much.
**[1:02:39] Sakata**
Thanks.
**[1:02:40] Mukai**
Okay, Fairouz-san, you're up.
**[1:02:42] Fairouz**
Okay, here's my question!
**[1:02:43] Fairouz**
If you were going to form a band with
anyone in Chainsaw Man, who would it be?
**[1:02:47] Mukai**
I see. I wonder who would it be?
**[1:02:50] Mukai**
Let's keep the momentum going...
**[1:02:52] Cast**
I wonder who.
**[1:02:53] Mukai**
Don't try and guess!
Don't put words in their mouths.
**[1:02:56] Mukai**
What do you think, TOOBOE-san?
**[1:02:58] Tooboe**
I mean, it's obviously Power.
**[1:03:01] Mukai**
Makes sense!
**[1:03:02] Tooboe**
Thank you.
**[1:03:03] Cast**
Yeah, of course.
**[1:03:04] Power**
Victory is mine!
**[1:03:06] Mukai**
She asked her question and
got the answer she wanted.
**[1:03:10] Tooboe**
On the radio show, I sang
the song "Jozai" with Fairouz-san...
**[1:03:17] Fairouz**
That's right.
**[1:03:18] Tooboe**
And having a song I wrote about
a character being sung by that character...
**[1:03:26] Tooboe**
That was pretty profound.
**[1:03:29] Mukai**
Makes sense.
**[1:03:29] Tooboe**
I had a nerdy cry over that one.
**[1:03:32] Fairouz**
He really was acting like a nerd
at a meet-and-greet over that one.
**[1:03:36] Mukai**
Another one?
**[1:03:36] Mukai**
Again?
**[1:03:37] Tooboe**
It's true.
**[1:03:39] Fairouz**
But the thing with TOOBOE-san's songs is
they're written for a lower, masculine tone,
**[1:03:45] Fairouz**
but when I tried to sing it using Power's
voice, which is higher, it still worked,
**[1:03:52] Fairouz**
and that was really striking to me.
**[1:03:55] Tooboe**
Thanks for that.
**[1:03:56] Fairouz**
Right, it was awesome.
**[1:03:57] Tooboe**
I'd definitely pick Power.
I'd want her on guitar and vocals.
**[1:04:00] Mukai**
Guitar and vocals! That sounds really good.
**[1:04:04] Mukai**
I can really picture that.
**[1:04:06] Mukai**
What do you think, Syudou-san?
**[1:04:07] Syudou**
Well...
**[1:04:08] Mukai**
Out of the group we have here.
**[1:04:10] Syudou**
Well, I'd like to work with any of them,
**[1:04:13] Syudou**
but I personally think
Aki would be a good choice.
**[1:04:16] Mukai**
That was fast!
**[1:04:18] Taichi**
He's really raring to go.
**[1:04:20] Sakata**
I'll be waiting when season two happens.
**[1:04:22] Syudou**
I think the thing with Aki is
that he's managing to live his life
**[1:04:27] Syudou**
despite being surrounded by a pair of maniacs,
**[1:04:30] Syudou**
and I tend to be pretty lazy
about booking studio time...
**[1:04:33] Syudou**
So I'd appreciate having him around to
look after the details and complex stuff.
**[1:04:36] Taichi**
That sounds like you want
him for your management!
**[1:04:39] Toya**
Is that really part of the band?
**[1:04:40] Sakata**
I'll take care of it.
**[1:04:42] Mukai**
For errands?
**[1:04:44] Mukai**
It'd really make me feel more relaxed
**[1:04:46] Cast**
I'd like to see that.
**[1:04:47] Mukai**
True.
**[1:04:48] Sakata**
I think he'd look good with a bass.
**[1:04:50] Fairouz**
I could see that.
**[1:04:51] Fairouz**
Sort of a power player,
who stays out of the spotlight.
**[1:04:54] Syudou**
He's got that real stable vibe.
**[1:04:56] Mukai**
I see.
**[1:04:57] Mukai**
That sounds like a pretty sincere pick!
**[1:04:59] Fairouz**
Yeah!
**[1:05:01] Mukai**
And yet Toya-san wasn't picked...
**[1:05:04] Toya**
Why, though?!
**[1:05:06] Toya**
To be honest, I think that Syudou-san's music,
**[1:05:09] Toya**
or maybe his state of mind
has a lot in common with Denji.
**[1:05:13] Toya**
And I think Syudou-san mentioned
something about his motivation,
**[1:05:17] Toya**
his motivation for playing music
being to get chicks...
**[1:05:20] Syudou**
That really is it!
**[1:05:21] Mukai**
Really? Wow.
**[1:05:22] Syudou**
Yep.
**[1:05:23] Toya**
Which is why I thought you might pick Denji.
**[1:05:27] Syudou**
I kind of think we'd
end up fighting instead.
**[1:05:29] Fairouz**
Oh, that really, makes sense!
**[1:05:31] Mukai**
I see!
**[1:05:32] Syudou**
It'd turn into "Me! No, me!"
**[1:05:33] Cast**
I could see that.
**[1:05:35] Syudou**
It's fun to imagine, though.
**[1:05:37] Fairouz**
It does paint a funny picture.
**[1:05:39] Mukai**
So the choice was made with balance in mind.
**[1:05:42] Mukai**
Makes sense. Thank you very much.
**[1:05:43] Fairouz**
Thank you!
**[1:05:44] Syudou**
No problem.
**[1:05:45] Mukai**
Let's keep going, Hamano-san?
**[1:05:46] Hamano**
Right!
**[1:05:47] Hamano**
Well, during the show, Sideburns Man
tends to be pretty picky about ramen...
**[1:05:52] Mukai**
Sideburns Man?
**[1:05:53] Hamano**
And I was wondering
if our artists have anything
**[1:05:58] Hamano**
that they are especially particular about.
**[1:06:00] Mukai**
Makes sense.
**[1:06:02] Mukai**
It could be so many things
related to composing, writing lyrics...
**[1:06:06] Mukai**
Or things about the venues for a
performance of musical instruments.
**[1:06:10] Mukai**
Syudou-san, what do you say?
**[1:06:12] Syudou**
Well, there's a few things
I'm particular about,
**[1:06:15] Syudou**
but the first thing that came to mind
when I heard the question
**[1:06:18] Syudou**
was how I'm really particular about ramen.
**[1:06:20] Syudou**
For real.
**[1:06:21] Hamano**
We can talk about ramen.
**[1:06:22] Syudou**
I feel a little bad taking this so literally,
**[1:06:25] Syudou**
but you know how iekei-style ramen is a style?
**[1:06:27] Hamano**
It's so good, too.
**[1:06:28] Syudou**
And there are a few places,
I'm not gonna mention by name,
**[1:06:30] Syudou**
but I'm like, "This is not iekei."
**[1:06:33] Cast**
That makes sense.
**[1:06:34] Syudou**
They're good, too, and maybe it's just me,
but I'm like, "This is not real iekei ramen."
**[1:06:41] Toya**
There's the territorial aspect, too.
**[1:06:42] Syduou**
Right, like, "Where did this come from?"
**[1:06:44] Hamano**
Are we still talking about ramen?
**[1:06:45] Mukai**
I think we are?
**[1:06:47] Mukai**
We are, aren't we?
**[1:06:48] Hamano**
I didn't mean about ramen
in particular, though.
**[1:06:52] Syudou**
I'm glad to hear Toya-kun gets it, though.
**[1:06:54] Mukai**
What about when making music, though?
**[1:06:56] Syudou**
Oh yeah, of course I do with music.
**[1:06:58] Syudou**
Let's see...
**[1:07:00] Syudou**
I tend to revise lyrics a lot, I think.
**[1:07:02] Mukai**
Lyrics? That makes sense.
**[1:07:05] Syudou**
Until I get it sounding right,
**[1:07:07] Syudou**
I really don't let go until
the last second a lot of the time.
**[1:07:12] Mukai**
I get that, when you start thinking,
"There's a better way to put this..."
**[1:07:16] Mukai**
And you want to get 100% instead of 99%.
**[1:07:19] Syudou**
That sounds right. It can
sometimes feel like it'll never end.
**[1:07:24] Mukai**
I see, that makes sense.
**[1:07:26] Mukai**
What about you, TOOBOE-san?
**[1:07:29] Tooboe**
Well, I tend to be
particular about lyrics, too.
**[1:07:32] Tooboe**
I like the grammar sounding a certain way...
**[1:07:35] Tooboe**
I also put a lot of thought into
what the first person pronouns are.
**[1:07:39] Tooboe**
What the singer should be represented as...
**[1:07:42] Tooboe**
It tends to change the character
of the whole song.
**[1:07:47] Tooboe**
So that's something
I pay a lot of attention to.
**[1:07:52] Mukai**
I can see how that'd make a difference.
**[1:07:54] Mukai**
And considering it's something
you've paid a lot of attention to,
**[1:07:58] Mukai**
there's bound to have been times
when you felt it paid off, too, right?
**[1:08:00] Tooboe**
I think so,
**[1:08:01] Tooboe**
I've always felt good about the releases
once they come out, thanks to that.
**[1:08:04] Mukai**
That makes sense.
It's cool how that works out.
**[1:08:08] Hamano**
It really is, and it goes to show how
he got involved in a project like this.
**[1:08:16] Tooboe**
You really have a good voice.
**[1:08:17] Hamano**
Aw, come on!
**[1:08:20] Mukai**
I mean, we do know he does.
**[1:08:22] Mukai**
Thanks for that.
**[1:08:23] Mukai**
Anyway, that covers that.
**[1:08:27] Mukai**
And now we've got a question from Twitter...
**[1:08:32] Mukai**
This is for TOOBOE-san.
**[1:08:35] Tooboe**
Okay.
**[1:08:36] Mukai**
"TOOBOE-san, am I imagining it,
or is there an homage to Chainsaw Man
**[1:08:41] Mukai**
in the lyrics of your song, 'Shinzo'?"
**[1:08:44] Tooboe**
That one's a coincidence.
**[1:08:46] Mukai**
Really?
**[1:08:47] Tooboe**
Definitely, definitely.
**[1:08:49] Tooboe**
I did produce that one around
the same time period as "Jozai," though,
**[1:08:55] Tooboe**
so I can't deny there might've
been some influence there.
**[1:09:02] Mukai**
Is that right?
**[1:09:03] Mukai**
I guess what's in your brain can come out
totally different, depending on intent.
**[1:09:09] Tooboe**
Right, the main difference is timing.
**[1:09:11] Tooboe**
The song that I'm coming out with
now has definitely been influenced
**[1:09:16] Tooboe**
by some of the things
I'm reading at the moment,
**[1:09:19] Tooboe**
so you can probably think of it
as being a similar case to that.
**[1:09:24] Mukai**
It's more the broader result
of something going into your head,
**[1:09:27] Mukai**
and coming out via your unique filter.
**[1:09:29] Tooboe**
That's right.
**[1:09:30] Tooboe**
Although I do see how the lyrics could
be applied to a story like Chainsaw Man,
**[1:09:34] Tooboe**
but that's more sort of seeing
things on a blank canvas.
**[1:09:38] Tooboe**
The exact themes are kind of broad,
like friendship, romance, and humanity.
**[1:09:44] Tooboe**
It's a song about different types of love.
**[1:09:49] Tooboe**
I see.
**[1:09:50] Tooboe**
And if there's a connection there,
I'd say it's because the story of Chainsaw Man
**[1:09:54] Tooboe**
deals with those kinds
of universal themes, too.
**[1:09:58] Mukai**
So it can be taken that way.
**[1:10:00] Tooboe**
I think so.
**[1:10:02] Mukai**
I see...
**[1:10:03] Mukai**
This is pretty remarkable, getting to hear
from musicians with this kind of detail.
**[1:10:08] Mukai**
What do you think, Ise-san?
**[1:10:10] Ise**
It's really impressive.
**[1:10:12] Ise**
I don't often get to speak
with the kind of creatives
**[1:10:16] Ise**
who create something from scratch like this,
**[1:10:21] Ise**
so I'm really struck
by their thought process.
**[1:10:24] Mukai**
Seriously, this segment
has turned out to be great.
**[1:10:29] Mukai**
Right?
**[1:10:30] Mukai**
Ano-chan, what do you...
**[1:10:32] Mukai**
You okay?
**[1:10:34] Ano**
Yes. Yes?
**[1:10:36] Mukai**
You sleepy?
**[1:10:37] Ano**
I'm awake.
**[1:10:38] Mukai**
You sure?
**[1:10:39] Mukai**
You seemed to cover your face
the second I started talking.
**[1:10:43] Mukai**
Am I right? Is my body odor
causing you problems, or...?
**[1:10:47] Tooboe**
I don't think that's it.
**[1:10:49] Tooboe**
Or at least, I'm not getting
any of it, so it's fine.
**[1:10:52] Mukai**
But still, getting to hear this all
has to be interesting for you, too.
**[1:10:57] Ano**
It really is. Even as another artist,
**[1:10:59] Ano**
I don't get to talk in detail
with others like this often,
**[1:11:02] Ano**
so I'm having a good time.
**[1:11:05] Mukai**
That really is nice.
**[1:11:06] Mukai**
Let's keep it going with
the Twitter questions, then.
**[1:11:09] Mukai**
This one is for Syudou-san...
**[1:11:12] Mukai**
"Previously, you had mentioned
your similarity to Denji.
**[1:11:15] Mukai**
If you became a Devil Hunter, what kind
of Devil would you contract with?"
**[1:11:20] Mukai**
This is just what we were
talking about with Toya-kun.
**[1:11:24] Syudou**
Right, since I started music because
I wanted to be popular and respected.
**[1:11:30] Syudou**
Which is something that
I think I have in common with Denji.
**[1:11:35] Syudou**
So if I'm going form a contract, maybe a
Popularity Devil, if there is one?
**[1:11:39] Cast**
The Popularity Devil?!
**[1:11:41] Toya**
What kind of power would that be?
**[1:11:44] Toya**
And you'd have to make some
kind of sacrifice, right?
**[1:11:46] Syudou**
That's right.
**[1:11:47] Toya**
So what would you sacrifice to be popular?
**[1:11:49] Syudou**
That's a really good question.
**[1:11:51] Sakata**
Your scalp? Maybe your scalp.
**[1:11:52] Cast**
Your scalp?
**[1:11:53] Cast**
They take it!
**[1:11:54] Toya**
But you get to be popular.
**[1:11:55] Fairouz**
It could be one of those where
everyone in the world loves you,
**[1:11:57] Fairouz**
except the person you want the most.
**[1:12:00] Fairouz**
No way!
**[1:12:00] Cast**
No way!
**[1:12:02] Sakata**
That's so emo!
**[1:12:03] Fairouz**
It is!
**[1:12:04] Cast**
Why would you be glad about that?
**[1:12:05] Syudou**
Seriously?
**[1:12:07] Syudou**
In the end, I do wanna
love somebody, though.
**[1:12:10] Cast**
That's cool!
**[1:12:12] Mukai**
Really.
**[1:12:14] Syudou**
I think I might have given the wrong answer
for this segment. I'm embarrassed now.
**[1:12:17] Mukai**
No, no, it's fine.
**[1:12:18] Mukai**
I think I'll mutter those words
as I fall to sleep tonight.
**[1:12:23] Mukai**
"In the end, I do wanna love somebody."
**[1:12:27] Mukai**
What a great question. Thank you to
all wonderful questions from Twitter.
**[1:12:32] Mukai**
But now with that answer, we've
gone about as far as we can for now.
**[1:12:38] Mukai**
That concludes "Our Music" Tour Edition!
**[1:12:43] Mukai**
Big thanks to our cast and our
musical artists for joining us.
**[1:12:46] Cast**
Thank you!
**[1:12:47] Syudou**
If you'd be so kind to clear the stage,
so we can get ready for the next corner.
**[1:12:51] Syudou**
Let's give them one last round of applause!
**[1:12:56] Syudou**
Thanks again.
**[1:12:59] Cast**
Thanks!
**[1:13:05] Mukai**
Those were all really good questions.
**[1:13:08] Mukai**
And we had a lot of great ones left.
**[1:13:11] Mukai**
I would've loved to ask some
more if we had more time.
**[1:13:18] Mukai**
I have no idea what Sakata-san
was thinking when he wrote this,
**[1:13:21] Mukai**
but he actually asked, "If you could share a
barfy smooch with someone, who would it be?"
**[1:13:26] Mukai**
What kind of question is that?!
**[1:13:29] Mukai**
But there are all kinds of characters, so...
**[1:13:33] Mukai**
Thanks again for the questions for Twitter.
**[1:13:36] Mukai**
Another good one was, "If you
had to make an ending theme
**[1:13:39] Mukai**
for an episode other
than the ones you handled,
**[1:13:44] Mukai**
which would it be?"
**[1:13:45] Mukai**
I could seriously just keep
asking these, all day long.
**[1:13:51] Mukai**
And as for our next segment,
**[1:13:53] ---**
**[1:13:54] Mukai**
after getting some insight into
the heads of these great artists, is...
**[1:14:02] Mukai**
The Chainsaw Man Concert Stage!
**[1:14:09] Mukai**
This is a bit of a twist, wouldn't you say?
**[1:14:14] Mukai**
For a stage comedian, it would be considered
having expectations raised too high.
**[1:14:21] Mukai**
Like having someone ask,
"What is comedy to you?"
**[1:14:23] Mukai**
and then right afterwards,
you have to do your routine.
**[1:14:26] Mukai**
As hard as that might seem,
**[1:14:28] Mukai**
we know these guests are capable
of easily pulling it off anyway.
**[1:14:38] Mukai**
So, next up on the concert stage,
we've got our second artist...
**[1:14:44] Mukai**
And that's Ano-san, who handled
the ending theme for episode 7.
**[1:14:51] Mukai**
After a battle against the Eternity Devil,
there was a welcome party for the rookies,
**[1:14:55] Mukai**
along with a "barfy smooch," a phrase that
trended all over Twitter at the time!
**[1:15:00] Mukai**
The ending song was remarkable
for its clever lyrical references,
**[1:15:04] Mukai**
and I hope you're all looking for it.
**[1:15:05] Mukai**
And then coming up after that, we've
got out third artist, TOOBOE-san
**[1:15:10] Mukai**
who was responsible
for the ending to episode 4!
**[1:15:16] Mukai**
The dances that accompanied
"Jozai" took over TikTok for a time.
**[1:15:24] Mukai**
Can you imagine what it'll be like live?
**[1:15:28] Mukai**
Just how hyped are you all to see that?!
**[1:15:34] Mukai**
Thank you so much!
**[1:15:35] Mukai**
Now, remember, you're cleared
to cheer and stand all you want,
**[1:15:38] Mukai**
we've got back to back numbers next:
**[1:15:39] Mukai**
Ano-chan's "Chu Tayousei" and
TOOBOE-san's "Jozai." Enjoy!
**[1:16:00] Ano**
Ano here! Is Chainsaw Man Fes fun or what?
**[1:19:01] Ano**
Thanks! That was me, Ano.
**[1:19:05] Ano**
Bye-bye.
**[1:19:23] Toboe**
Chainsaw Fes, we're the middle act.
**[1:19:26] Toboe**
This is the TOOBOE band.
Thanks for having us!
**[1:20:04] Toboe**
Everyone, go ahead and join us for this bit.
**[1:20:41] Toboe**
Let me see you clapping out there,
I know you've got energy left!
**[1:21:43] Toboe**
Let's hear you sing this part.
**[1:22:45] Mukai**
Thank you so much!
**[1:22:48] Mukai**
That was Ano-san and TOOBOE-san
from our concert stage!
**[1:22:53] Mukai**
Man, I really got chills that time.
**[1:22:59] Mukai**
Right? TOOBOE-san was out here
singing barefoot.
**[1:23:03] Mukai**
Come to think of it, he was
barefoot during the Q&A, too.
**[1:23:06] Mukai**
I guess that's true.
**[1:23:09] Mukai**
But man, what a stellar pair of performances!
**[1:23:13] Mukai**
Ano-chan and TOOBOE-san,
and two songs back to back.
**[1:23:15] Mukai**
Something you would only
get here at Chainsaw Fes!
**[1:23:18] Mukai**
Thank you so much!
**[1:23:21] Mukai**
We're on a roll. This is great!
**[1:23:23] Mukai**
Wow...
**[1:23:26] Mukai**
I'm hoping we can pull off the biggest
round of applause this year,
**[1:23:33] Mukai**
but next up after the concert stage...
**[1:23:35] Mukai**
What comes next, you might wonder?
**[1:23:38] Mukai**
Right? Well after that, comes this.
**[1:23:43] Mukai**
Get a load of this...
**[1:23:44] Mukai**
Whoops, almost tore my mic cord.
**[1:23:47] Mukai**
Could've fallen just now.
**[1:23:48] Mukai**
I better calm down some, but next up
is a live reading by our cast!
**[1:23:56] Mukai**
Now... let's move on,
**[1:23:59] Mukai**
and remember, you'll wanna
shower these actors in applause
**[1:24:02] Mukai**
once they finish these scenes.
**[1:24:04] Mukai**
And off we go, to a series of great scenes
from the back end of the anime.
**[1:24:08] Mukai**
It's the second half of our live readings!
**[1:24:11] Mukai**
Come on!
**[1:24:18] Sign**
THE TASTE OF A KISS
**[1:24:28] Makima**
Excuse me. Another beer.
**[1:24:33] Makima**
So, what's this about kisses?
**[1:24:34] Denji**
* I don't want Ms. Makima*
* to see me kiss Himeno.*
**[1:24:39] Himeno**
No smoochies?
**[1:24:41] Denji**
*But I want a kiss with tongue just as bad!*
**[1:24:45] Denji**
*I've gotta try and change the subject!*
**[1:24:48] Denji**
Ms. Makima! Y'know, I got one
of them Gun Devil thingies!
**[1:24:53] Makima**
Yes, I heard. That's very impressive, Denji.
**[1:24:57] Aki**
We've never seen devils appearing with
Gun Devil flesh this frequently before.
**[1:25:02] Aki**
Given how the most recent one
was targeting Denji,
**[1:25:04] Aki**
something must be going on.
**[1:25:07] Aki**
Do you know what Denji's deal is, ma'am?
**[1:25:15] Power**
Relinquish that!
**[1:25:16] Power**
That, too, is mine!
**[1:25:21] Makima**
I'll tell you if you can outdrink me.
**[1:25:26] Aki**
Two more beers, please.
**[1:25:30] Himeno**
I want in on that! Make it three!
**[1:25:33] Power**
Horse sashimi! Fried chicken!
And more horse sashimi!
**[1:25:35] Denji**
Fried chicken!
**[1:25:42] Power**
That's mine, too.
**[1:25:43] Makima**
Another beer, if you would.
**[1:25:46] Lady Agent**
You're pretty impressive, Power.
**[1:25:48] Lady Agent**
There aren't a lot of Fiends
who can control their urge to kill.
**[1:25:52] Power**
A feat of my advanced IQ!
**[1:25:55] Lady Agent**
Is IQ part of it? How high is yours, then?
**[1:26:00] Power**
Um... 100?
**[1:26:01] Lady Agent**
Is that high?
**[1:26:03] Lady Agent**
I think my score was around 100, too.
**[1:26:07] Power**
Then it was 120.
**[1:26:08] Lady Agent**
If I remember right, Fushi's is high.
**[1:26:10] Fumi**
Specifically, 134.
**[1:26:12] Lady Agent**
Wow, must be proud enough
to actually remember it.
**[1:26:16] Power**
If I recall, mine was 500?
**[1:26:19] Power**
Perhaps 1000?
**[1:26:24] Makima**
Oh my.
**[1:26:27] Power**
The kiss is afoot!
**[1:26:31] Denji**
*She's watching!*
**[1:26:32] Denji**
*Ms. Makima's watching.*
**[1:26:34] Denji**
*But what is this?*
**[1:26:35] Denji**
*Is that a tongue I feel?*
**[1:26:37] Denji**
*Feels good... soft! Really soft!*
**[1:26:39] Denji**
*What the hell?! It's her tongue...*
**[1:26:41] Denji**
*But it's melting in my mouth?!*
**[1:26:43] Denji**
*That's... not... a tongue!*
**[1:26:45] Denji**
*It's puke!*
**[1:26:49] Male Agent**
Well, that's traumatic.
**[1:26:51] Makima**
Uh-oh...
**[1:26:53] Makima**
Excuse me, can we get
something to wipe this up?
**[1:26:56] Power**
Oh, this isn't good! Not good at all!
**[1:27:00] Power**
Denji will swallow anything
remotely nutritious!
**[1:27:16] Sign**
GUNFIRE
**[1:27:59] Himeno**
Huh... It's Den-Den-Denji?
**[1:28:04] Himeno**
What are you doing in my place?
**[1:28:09] Himeno**
Did I bring you here?
**[1:28:13] Himeno**
Huh?
**[1:28:15] Denji**
I'm so dizzy... What the hell?
**[1:28:20] Himeno**
Y'know, I noticed you're
head over heels for Makima.
**[1:28:26] Denji**
My head's spinning...
**[1:28:28] Himeno**
You could do better than
that bitch, seriously.
**[1:28:31] Himeno**
You and Aki, fawning all over her!
**[1:28:37] Himeno**
Ugh...
**[1:28:39] Himeno**
Seriously!
**[1:28:40] Himeno**
Moo-ve on!
**[1:29:13] Himeno**
Wanna do it?

FROM KYOTO
**[1:29:55] Samurai Sword**
This time, I'm gonna split him in two.
**[1:29:58] Sawatari**
Don't damage the heart.
**[1:30:02] Denji**
I dunno what the fuck's going on...
**[1:30:05] Denji**
But it's easy enough to tell
you two are bad guys.
**[1:30:12] Denji**
I love bad guys, y'know...
**[1:30:15] Denji**
Nobody gives me any shit
when I carve 'em up!
**[1:30:21] Samurai Sword**
So I get to kill you a second time.
**[1:30:43] Denji**
Die!
**[1:31:00] Sign**
KATANA VS. CHAINSAW
**[1:31:26] Denji**
Guess you're awake.
**[1:31:29] Denji**
You really are like me, huh?
**[1:31:33] Denji**
Pulled that katana out of your arm,
**[1:31:35] Denji**
and the halves of your body
stuck back together.
**[1:31:40] Sideburns Man**
I'll kill you...
**[1:31:41] Sideburns Man**
You're fucking dead!
**[1:31:43] Denji**
Losers sure love to make noise, huh?
**[1:31:47] Denji**
We've got a while until
the cops show up to grab you.
**[1:31:52] Denji**
And to be honest,
I'm not really satisfied yet.
**[1:31:57] Denji**
You killed Himeno.
**[1:32:00] Denji**
That's one less hot lady in the world,
thanks to your stupid ass.
**[1:32:05] Denji**
But you don't seem to care, and you'll
get to spend the rest of your life in jail.
**[1:32:10] Denji**
How am I supposed to deal with that?
**[1:32:13] Sideburns Man**
Not like you can do anything about it.
You're just Public Safety's lapdog!
**[1:32:25] Denji**
We're about to have us a contest.
**[1:32:29] Aki**
Contest?
**[1:32:30] Denji**
Hey, great timing.
**[1:32:36] Aki**
This is Hayakawa from Division 4.
**[1:32:37] Aki**
Target is restrained on the train
tracks in front of the clock tower.
**[1:32:41] Aki**
Requesting backup.
**[1:32:42] Denji**
You wanna get in on this, too, Hayakawa?
**[1:32:45] Denji**
It's gonna be the best contest ever.
**[1:32:47] Aki**
What the hell are you talking about?
**[1:32:52] Denji**
See, he shot at Himeno...
**[1:32:55] Denji**
So I figure we get to take shots at him.
**[1:33:00] Denji**
That's why we'll make it a contest.
**[1:33:03] Denji**
We take turns giving him nut shots,
**[1:33:06] Denji**
and whoever gets him to scream the loudest
before the cops show up is the winner.
**[1:33:10] Sideburns Man**
What are you, psycho?!
**[1:33:19] Denji**
You in or what?
**[1:33:23] Aki**
Our job is to catch this guy.
**[1:33:28] Aki**
Not torture him to make
ourselves feel better.
**[1:33:32] Aki**
It's not like Himeno would've wanted that.
**[1:33:37] Denji**
That right?
**[1:34:04] Aki**
So...
**[1:34:07] Aki**
What do I get if I win?
**[1:34:10] Denji**
His family jewels, of course!
**[1:34:14] Sideburns Man**
Hey...
**[1:34:16] Sideburns Man**
Hang on, hang on!
**[1:34:17] Sideburns Man**
Don't do it, come on—
**[1:34:56] Aki**
*Himeno... Can you hear this up in heaven?*
**[1:35:04] Aki**
*We're playing a requiem for you.*
**[1:35:27] Mukai**
Thank you so much!
**[1:35:33] Mukai**
And those were live readings from
the second half of Chainsaw Man.
**[1:35:37] Mukai**
Thanks so much to our cast.
**[1:35:40] Mukai**
Well, man, that was awesome!
**[1:35:43] Mukai**
I'm so glad I like Chainsaw Man!
**[1:35:45] Mukai**
I'm so glad I like anime!
**[1:35:47] Mukai**
It was so... what did you guys think?
**[1:35:51] Mukai**
That was really amazing!
**[1:35:55] Mukai**
And now, let's get some impressions
about the live reading,
**[1:36:00] Mukai**
Ise-san, Takahashi-san, come on down!
**[1:36:03] Takahashi**
Coming! Thank you!
**[1:36:03] Ise**
Thanks.
**[1:36:04] Mukai**
Thank you so much!
**[1:36:07] Mukai**
That was amazing.
**[1:36:10] Takashi**
Thanks.
**[1:36:11] Mukai**
That was amazing!
**[1:36:12] Ise**
Really amazing!
**[1:36:14] Ise**
Those were really wild scenes.
**[1:36:16] Mukai**
They were! The ones they had you do.
**[1:36:18] Ise**
Boy, I sure didn't anticipate
doing that scene
**[1:36:21] Ise**
in front of a giant audience with Toya-kun.
**[1:36:26] Ise**
I was pretty nervous.
**[1:36:27] Mukai**
Yeah, but I can guarantee everyone
watching was way more nervous!
**[1:36:29] Ise**
Seriously?
**[1:36:30] Mukai**
Sorry if that just makes me
sound like a crazy fan, but...
**[1:36:35] Mukai**
But I can't help it, y'know,
amid the tension of a live reading.
**[1:36:41] Mukai**
And to be able to act so well at
a time like that is remarkable.
**[1:36:47] Mukai**
Takahashi-san, what did you think?
**[1:36:49] Takahashi**
It was really good.
**[1:36:50] Takahashi**
A scene like that,
that's a bit embarrassing...
**[1:36:54] Takahashi**
During the actual recording,
you mostly just see someone from behind.
**[1:36:57] Takahashi**
What does it feel to do it
when everyone can see your face?
**[1:37:00] Ise**
She's right, when you're
doing the actual recording
**[1:37:02] Ise**
no one is really looking at your face...
**[1:37:05] Ise**
So I have no idea what kind
of face I'm making while I act!
**[1:37:09] Mukai**
Makes sense.
**[1:37:10] Ise**
So I got pretty nervous...
**[1:37:13] Takahashi**
Really?
**[1:37:14] Takahashi**
You sounded really good though!
**[1:37:16] Mukai**
I think you did a great job.
**[1:37:18] Ise**
Thank you so much.
**[1:37:20] Ise**
As embarrassing as it was...
**[1:37:21] Ise**
But come to think of it, it was just me and
Toya-kun recording during the session, too.
**[1:37:26] Ise**
And when we were doing the audio test,
Toya-kun was kind of breathing hard...
**[1:37:33] Ise**
And during the scene where
Himeno is fumbling with his belt,
**[1:37:38] Ise**
which comes up next,
**[1:37:40] Ise**
and Toya-kun's ad-libbed
breathing was a little...
**[1:37:45] Ise**
It was too loud.
**[1:37:46] Mukai**
He was breathing too loud?
**[1:37:47] Ise**
And it was pretty funny when
we had to do another take.
**[1:37:50] Mukai**
Got a little too excited!
**[1:37:51] Mukai**
That's a youngster for you.
**[1:37:53] Ise**
I thought it was funny.
**[1:37:55] Mukai**
Fantastic. And if you would all be so kind,
**[1:37:59] Mukai**
let's have another round
of applause for that amazing voiceover.
**[1:38:04] Takahashi**
Thank you!
**[1:38:05] Ise**
Thank you.
**[1:38:08] Mukai**
Next up is a special segment,
The Chainsaw Man Custom Dice Talk!
**[1:38:16] Cast**
Yay!
**[1:38:19] Mukai**
We're going to have you roll a dice and then
talk a bit based on what subject comes up.
**[1:38:24] Mukai**
First up, let's have
the cast come back on stage.
**[1:38:28] Mukai**
And Ise-san, Takahashi-san,
if you'd take your seats...
**[1:38:32] Toya**
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...
**[1:38:34] Toya**
Who wouldn't breathe hard
if they saw Himeno like that?
**[1:38:39] Mukai**
That's fair.
**[1:38:40] Toya**
You all get what I mean, right?
**[1:38:42] Mukai**
I think I get what you mean, then.
**[1:38:44] Toya**
And that's what I was going for out.
**[1:38:45] Mukai**
I also wanna point out...
**[1:38:47] Mukai**
That scream Hamano-san gave
when he was kicked like that.
**[1:38:49] Hamano**
Right.
**[1:38:51] Toya**
That was fantastic.
**[1:38:52] Hamano**
Doing that in front of
a big crowd, too, was a bit...
**[1:38:55] Cast**
I get what you mean!
**[1:38:56] Hamano**
To get kicked in the nuts...
and twice, at that.
**[1:39:00] Hamano**
It's a memorable experience.
**[1:39:02] Mukai**
Well, it was a wonderful reading.
**[1:39:04] Mukai**
And our artist guests are going to
join us for the dice discussion, as well.
**[1:39:10] Mukai**
Let's have them come back on out, please!
**[1:39:17] Mukai**
There we go, Syudou-san,
TOOBOE-san, and Ano-chan.
**[1:39:23] Mukai**
Okay, TOOBOE-san, you're going to
be barefoot for this segment, too?
**[1:39:26] Tooboe**
Yep, I have been the whole time.
**[1:39:28] Mukai**
I just realized that!
**[1:39:29] Mukai**
What are you, an elementary schooler?
**[1:39:32] Tooboe**
Nope, but I am barefoot.
**[1:39:34] Mukai**
Well, it's time for a barefoot discussion.
**[1:39:36] Mukai**
And the three of you will be joining us.
**[1:39:39] Mukai**
So, if you'd have a seat...
**[1:39:41] Mukai**
Now, let's roll the dice and get started.
**[1:39:46] Mukai**
Could you bring the dice out here, staff?
**[1:39:49] Mukai**
As you can see we have this big old dice,
with a number of subjects on it.
**[1:39:52] Front side sign**
Something I feel comfortable
talking about now
**[1:39:55] Mukai**
You'll see some of these are a bit
more directly taken from the manga...
**[1:39:56] Turned side sign**
Win
**[1:40:02] Side**
A subject with a few screws loose
**[1:40:02] Toya**
Really directly!
**[1:40:04] Cast**
Straight from the manga!
**[1:40:05] Mukai**
That's right.
**[1:40:06] Mukai**
And it's got a variety of sides.
**[1:40:08] Mukai**
So, let's start with Hamano-san.
**[1:40:12] Cast**
Good luck.
**[1:40:14] Hamano**
After the kicking I just took...
**[1:40:15] Mukai**
No, that was acting.
**[1:40:18] Hamano**
Okay.
**[1:40:19] Mukai**
Toss that for us.
**[1:40:24] Cast**
What's it gonna be? What's it gonna be?
**[1:40:26] Hamano**
Right.
**[1:40:27] Mukai**
What have we got?
**[1:40:29] Mukai**
If you could show the camera.
**[1:40:31] Hamano**
"Something weird that happened recently."
**[1:40:39] Mukai**
Okay, Hamano-san, if you've had any
weird experiences, I'd love to hear about them.
**[1:40:46] Hamano**
Has anything weird happened?
**[1:40:47] Toya**
Let's all discuss it.
**[1:40:49] Mukai**
It's not that kind of segment...
**[1:40:51] Taichi**
Can you call for aid?
**[1:40:54] Hamano**
Well, lately...
**[1:40:56] Hamano**
I mean, today's been pretty weird, I'd say.
**[1:40:58] Cast**
That's true!
**[1:40:59] Hamano**
Also, during the recording of Chainsaw Man,
**[1:41:03] Hamano**
I had to get kicked a whole lot...
**[1:41:07] Hamano**
For the best contest ever.
**[1:41:10] Hamano**
And then there was the game, where we
were doing all these different scenes.
**[1:41:15] Hamano**
I was doing the recording for that,
**[1:41:18] Hamano**
and I'm pretty sure
I had to do that scene again.
**[1:41:21] Mukai**
It's a pretty famous scene, after all.
**[1:41:24] Hamano**
And then there's today...
**[1:41:26] Hamano**
I'd say between over
the last six months to year,
**[1:41:30] Hamano**
I've gone through about eight
balls' worth of screaming.
**[1:41:35] Hamano**
Seriously.
**[1:41:36] Mukai**
Eight balls...
**[1:41:37] Mukai**
You make them sound like
the ingredients for ramen.
**[1:41:41] Hamano**
I get the feeling that, as vast
as the world of voice acting is,
**[1:41:45] Hamano**
you won't find anyone else caught up
in the best contest ever as much as me.
**[1:41:48] Mukai**
That is true!
**[1:41:50] Hamano**
That's the weirdest thing I can think of.
**[1:41:52] Hamano**
It's kind of a tough one?
**[1:41:54] Mukai**
That is true.
**[1:41:56] Cast**
It's hard to think of.
**[1:41:57] Mukai**
I would say that was pretty weird.
**[1:42:00] Mukai**
Let's ask our artists, too.
**[1:42:03] Hamano**
By all means.
**[1:42:04] Mukai**
Has anything weird
happened to you, Ano-chan?
**[1:42:08] Ano**
Something weird...
**[1:42:12] Ano**
There was something
I thought was kinda weird.
**[1:42:18] Ano**
Well, I'm a huge fan of Maximum the Hormone,
**[1:42:22] Ano**
who did another one
of the Chainsaw Man endings.
**[1:42:26] Ano**
I have been for a long time.
**[1:42:28] Ano**
And to me, being able to do
an ending for the same anime as them
**[1:42:33] Ano**
is honestly a world-changing
experience, for me.
**[1:42:36] Mukai**
That makes sense!
**[1:42:40] Ano**
And lately, Maximum the Hormone's
drummer, Nao-san...
**[1:42:45] Ano**
Her little person...
what do you call them? Her kid?
**[1:42:50] Mukai**
Little person?!
**[1:42:52] Mukai**
Wow!
**[1:42:53] Hamano**
Do kids come in different sizes?
**[1:42:55] Mukai**
Did you really have to beat
around the bush with that one?
**[1:42:57] Ano**
And Nao-chan...
**[1:42:58] Ano**
No, her kid!
**[1:43:00] Mukai**
Nao-san and her kid...
**[1:43:02] Ano**
I went out to eat with the two of them.
**[1:43:05] Mukai**
That sounds awesome!
**[1:43:06] Ano**
And after that, they took me to karaoke.
**[1:43:09] Cast**
Cool!
**[1:43:10] Ano**
And I got the sing Maximum
the Hormone songs with her...
**[1:43:14] Mukai**
Wow!
**[1:43:16] Ano**
That was like a dream for me,
so I'd really say
**[1:43:19] Ano**
my whole world has changed
in the last few years, I think.
**[1:43:23] Mukai**
That definitely is weird!
**[1:43:24] Mukai**
And something that happened
because of Chainsaw Man to boot.
**[1:43:29] Cast**
Wow!
**[1:43:30] Mukai**
That is neat.
**[1:43:32] Mukai**
Especially compared to someone who lost
eight testicles because of Chainsaw Man...
**[1:43:34] Hamano**
The show giveth, and the show taketh away.
**[1:43:39] Mukai**
That is nice.
**[1:43:41] Mukai**
I'd say if those are the weird stories we got,
that was an excellent roll of the dice.
**[1:43:46] Mukai**
Wouldn't you agree?
**[1:43:48] Mukai**
Now, you're up next, TOOBOE-san.
**[1:43:50] Mukai**
Throw the dice.
**[1:43:52] Mukai**
I mean, someone has to.
**[1:43:54] Hamano**
Everyone's gonna have that reaction.
**[1:43:56] Tooboe**
Even though you just got done screaming...
**[1:43:57] Tooboe**
Okay, let's do this.
**[1:43:59] Mukai**
Go ahead and roll.
**[1:44:02] Sakata**
I hope he wins.
**[1:44:03] Hamano**
I wonder what it is?
**[1:44:06] Mukai**
That's a win...
**[1:44:07] Hamano**
Hang on!
**[1:44:09] Toya**
It's like how a coin has to spin
four times for a coin toss to count.
**[1:44:11] Mukai**
You're a grown man, put some muscle into it.
**[1:44:13] Mukai**
One more time please.
**[1:44:16] Cast**
Wow!
**[1:44:18] Cast**
He won!
**[1:44:19] Mukai**
And there we go! He rolled a win!
**[1:44:23] Sakata**
Magnificent.
**[1:44:24] Mukai**
And when someone rolls a win,
and he did it legitimately this time,
**[1:44:29] Mukai**
it's time to do a drawing for a present!
**[1:44:33] Hamano**
That's how it works?!
**[1:44:34] Cast**
Wow!
**[1:44:35] Ano**
Yay!
**[1:44:35] Mukai**
Now, here's Pochita...
**[1:44:37] Guests**
Pochita!
**[1:44:39] Mukai**
And since it was TOOBOE-san
who rolled the win,
**[1:44:43] Mukai**
that means someone here will get
a T-shirt autographed by him today!
**[1:44:48] Mukai**
Now, let's have him autograph the T-shirt.
**[1:44:52] Tooboe**
Right now? Neat.
**[1:44:56] Mukai**
Now, Pochita, did you bring the lots?
**[1:44:59] Mukai**
You did? Oh, wow, that is close.
**[1:45:02] Mukai**
I wasn't expecting that.
**[1:45:04] Hamano**
He might dice you up.
**[1:45:06] Mukai**
Almost too close to comfort.
**[1:45:08] Mukai**
Okay, now he's autographed the shirt,
**[1:45:11] Mukai**
and now...
**[1:45:13] Sakata**
The paper bag Pochita's carrying looks
like it could fall apart at any second.
**[1:45:16] Mukai**
Right? Just rip!
**[1:45:19] Taichi**
It's those short arms...
**[1:45:20] Mukai**
Now, these lots have seat
numbers written on them.
**[1:45:23] Mukai**
And this shirt, which is being autographed
as we speak, will be selected with these.
**[1:45:28] Mukai**
Are we ready to draw?
**[1:45:29] Mukai**
Because here I go.
**[1:45:31] Mukai**
Okay... let's do this.
**[1:45:34] Mukai**
Here we go.
**[1:45:35] Mukai**
What number is it?
**[1:45:39] Mukai**
On the second floor...
**[1:45:43] Mukai**
Block B...
**[1:45:44] Non**
Where's B?
**[1:45:46] Cast**
Where are you, block B?!
**[1:45:50] Mukai**
For the person sitting
in row 9, seat number 15!
**[1:45:55] Mukai**
Row 9, Seat 15!
**[1:45:57] Mukai**
Congratulations!
**[1:45:59] Cast**
Congratulations!
**[1:46:02] Cast**
Congratulations!
**[1:46:03] Mukai**
Now, if the person in row 9, seat 15
**[1:46:06] Mukai**
would later head towards
the door closest to the stage,
**[1:46:10] Mukai**
where the staff is waiting. Do you see?
**[1:46:14] Mukai**
Right there, after the show, after verifying
your ticket or your web purchase,
**[1:46:21] Mukai**
we'll have that gift for you.
**[1:46:24] Mukai**
Now, let's see how that
autograph turned out!
**[1:46:27] Mukai**
There it is!
**[1:46:29] Cast**
Wow!
**[1:46:30] Mukai**
Fantastic!
**[1:46:32] Cast**
Cute!
**[1:46:34] Cast**
Pochita!
**[1:46:34] Mukai**
It is cute!
**[1:46:35] Mukai**
There's a little Pochita!
**[1:46:37] Hamano**
So cute!
**[1:46:38] Mukai**
A cutely-drawn Pochita, too.
**[1:46:38] Tooboe**
I do draw a little.
**[1:46:40] Mukai**
They'll be happy to receive that!
**[1:46:42] Tooboe**
Is this really a good enough?
Just my autograph?
**[1:46:45] Tooboe**
When we've got a murderer's
row of actors up here?
**[1:46:49] Mukai**
Come on, if you start talking that way,
the present is going to get way more fancy.
**[1:46:53] Tooboe**
Really? Well, here you go.
**[1:46:54] Mukai**
Yours is plenty, TOOBOE-san.
**[1:46:56] Mukai**
You'll be able to pick that up later.
**[1:46:59] Tooboe**
Congratulations.
**[1:46:59] Cast**
Congratulations!
**[1:47:02] Mukai**
Now, the fact is, in addition to the prize
drawing the win does include a talk subject.
**[1:47:10] Mukai**
And that is... discussing motivation.
**[1:47:14] Tooboe**
Motivation!
**[1:47:15] Mukai**
So I wanna ask you, TOOBOE-san,
where do you get your motivation from?
**[1:47:19] Mukai**
In the case of Denji,
it'd be grabbing a boob.
**[1:47:22] Mukai**
Hayakawa wants to defeat the Gun Devil,
**[1:47:25] Mukai**
so what would yours be, TOOBOE-san?
**[1:47:27] Tooboe**
Well, a bunch of money would be great.
**[1:47:30] Mukai**
I appreciate the simplicity.
**[1:47:31] Tooboe**
That's right.
**[1:47:32] Tooboe**
Despite working in this kind of field, I do
have a desire for a peaceful, quiet life...
**[1:47:41] Mukai**
Is that right?
**[1:47:42] Tooboe**
So I'd like to make a ton of money while I can,
and then move deep into the mountains.
**[1:47:49] Mukai**
And retire there?
**[1:47:51] Cast**
Maybe open a tiny traditional cafe?
**[1:47:55] Tooboe**
No, I kind of want to just disappear suddenly,
with no one knowing where I went.
**[1:48:01] Tooboe**
Just go off the grid,
into a mountain village.
**[1:48:03] Tooboe**
And they'll be nice enough that
if someone shows up looking for me,
**[1:48:07] Tooboe**
they'll say, "I never heard of no TOOBOE."
**[1:48:10] Mukai**
Pretending not to know.
**[1:48:11] Tooboe**
That's what I want. Yep.
**[1:48:12] Cast**
That's pretty aspirational.
**[1:48:14] Mukai**
Going barefoot might be a nice
prelude to that kind of lifestyle.
**[1:48:20] Cast**
Ah, I see.
**[1:48:21] Tooboe**
Yep. That's exactly right.
**[1:48:22] Mukai**
It can't be, can it?!
**[1:48:25] Mukai**
But that's nice, I like
hearing about motivation.
**[1:48:28] Mukai**
What about you, Taichi-san?
**[1:48:29] Taichi**
Well, lately I'm getting all
of my motivation from food.
**[1:48:33] Mukai**
It's food, then?
**[1:48:35] Taichi**
Until recently I would spend
money on games, and more games,
**[1:48:38] Taichi**
just buying all kinds of nonsense...
**[1:48:39] Cast**
She said it three times!
**[1:48:40] Mukai**
Mostly just games.
**[1:48:41] taichi**
That's mostly what it was before,
**[1:48:43] taichi**
but lately, I've realized that buying
in-game items isn't actually like food,
**[1:48:46] taichi**
and you have to eat food for real.
**[1:48:46] Cast**
That is true.
**[1:48:48] Taichi**
And the kind of enjoyment you
can get from food is really crazy.
**[1:48:52] Taichi**
That's something I've finally realized.
**[1:48:55] Taichi**
So lately it feels like I'm working just
so I can eat the best stuff possible.
**[1:49:00] Mukai**
Do you have a particular
favorite at the moment?
**[1:49:03] Taichi**
I absolutely love this dish called Malatang.
**[1:49:08] Taichi**
It's not ramen, it's more like
thin bean starch noodles...
**[1:49:11] Taichi**
And the thing is, you get to pick
the toppings that go into it.
**[1:49:15] Taichi**
Which makes it great for picky eaters.
**[1:49:17] Taichi**
It's a great little dish. Like a slightly
more spicy bean starch noodle soup...
**[1:49:21] Fairouz**
Sounds good!
**[1:49:22] Mukai**
That does sound delicious.
**[1:49:24] Mukai**
It's great hearing about all these
different motivations. Thank you very much.
**[1:49:28] Mukai**
Okay, let's roll that dice again.
**[1:49:30] Mukai**
Ise-san, if you would.
**[1:49:32] Sakata**
Go for it.
**[1:49:33] Toya**
Go for the win. Come on.
**[1:49:35] Cast**
We might have another win.
**[1:49:37] Cast**
True, it's possible.
**[1:49:39] Mukai**
Okay, Ise-san, give it a whirl.
**[1:49:42] Cast**
Go for it!
**[1:49:43] Cast**
There you go!
**[1:49:44] Cast**
What's it gonna be? What's it gonna be?
**[1:49:48] Cast**
What is it?
**[1:49:49] Mukai**
Now, let's see what it was.
**[1:49:54] Cast**
Oh, forgot her mic.
**[1:49:56] Mukai**
"Something I feel comfortable
talking about now."
**[1:49:59] Mukai**
Thank you very much!
**[1:50:01] Cast**
This feels like it might
be airing dirty laundry...
**[1:50:03] Cast**
Right?
**[1:50:04] Cast**
Kinda scary.
**[1:50:05] Ise**
What should I do?
**[1:50:06] Mukai**
I'm curious to hear what you have to say.
**[1:50:07] Ise**
Well...
**[1:50:08] Mukai**
There may be things about the recording
that you feel comfortable talking about, now.
**[1:50:11] Cast**
True.
**[1:50:12] Ise**
Let's see... Well, when I got cast as Himeno,
**[1:50:19] Ise**
I realized that out of all 13 episodes?
**[1:50:28] Ise**
She would only show up in five.
**[1:50:33] Ise**
So I tried to figure out how to use those
five episodes to really tell her story.
**[1:50:40] Ise**
Her, I guess, history
in Public Safety Division 4?
**[1:50:46] Ise**
The way she felt during her
time with Aki and the others.
**[1:50:53] Ise**
And that was a lot of pressure to really
sum her up entirely in just five episodes.
**[1:51:02] Mukai**
That's how it was?
**[1:51:03] Ise**
And I felt like with the original manga,
you only get a peek at Himeno's backstory.
**[1:51:12] Ise**
So I used that to sort of imagine it,
**[1:51:14] Ise**
coming up with, sort of, profiles
for the six partners she'd lost already.
**[1:51:22] Ise**
Like, what were they like?
How'd they become partners?
**[1:51:25] Ise**
How did she get over their deaths?
**[1:51:28] Ise**
I came up with this whole backbone...
**[1:51:31] Ise**
And it was really just out of panic!
**[1:51:34] Ise**
During summer of last year, she was
really the only thing on my mind, I'd say.
**[1:51:39] Ise**
That's how worried I was about
being able to portray Himeno well,
**[1:51:44] Ise**
and really make sure she was
someone the audience would like.
**[1:51:49] Ise**
And I was pretty anxious about it.
**[1:51:51] Mukai**
And I'm sure you didn't want to
make it obvious how nervous you were,
**[1:51:55] Mukai**
and didn't seem that way to them.
**[1:51:57] Fairouz**
It's funny, because at that time,
**[1:52:00] Fairouz**
we were working together
on another Jump-related project.
**[1:52:03] Fairouz**
And the episode where Himeno died was
one week after the other character died!
**[1:52:08] Fairouz**
And Mariya-chan was like
this the entire time!
**[1:52:12] Ise**
I was.
**[1:52:14] Fairouz**
So I really wanted to
help her where I could.
**[1:52:17] Cast**
That's so nice.
**[1:52:18] Cast**
Cool!
**[1:52:18] Mukai**
What was that, a proposal? Very cool.
**[1:52:21] Mukai**
That's definitely something you'd feel
more comfortable admitting after the fact.
**[1:52:25] Mukai**
How about you, Syudou-san?
**[1:52:27] Syudou**
Well, in terms of stuff I feel
more comfortable about now,
**[1:52:30] Syudou**
like I mentioned when
I got the Chainsaw Man gig,
**[1:52:34] Syudou**
I was so excited I thought it was a prank.
**[1:52:36] Mukai**
You did say that.
**[1:52:37] Syudou**
And it was when I actually
went to MAPPA for a meeting
**[1:52:41] Syudou**
that I was like, "Okay, now
I'll see if this is a prank or not."
**[1:52:47] Syudou**
I thought, even if it is a prank,
**[1:52:49] Syudou**
I can at least make an impression
on the people at MAPPA...
**[1:52:52] Syudou**
So I drew Denji's starter
on my chest with a magic marker.
**[1:52:59] Mukai**
And then?
**[1:53:00] Syudou**
I figured, if it was a prank,
**[1:53:01] Syudou**
I could at least show them how
committed I was to the premise.
**[1:53:04] Mukai**
You set something up!
**[1:53:05] Syudou**
But it wasn't a prank, at all,
**[1:53:09] Syudou**
and I was able to go home
without taking my shirt off.
**[1:53:13] Mukai**
I bet you were in the bath later that night
and realized, "Oh, I forgot about that."
**[1:53:16] Syudou**
I had to scrub really hard! It was tough.
**[1:53:20] Mukai**
I can see why you'd be more
comfortable discussing that now.
**[1:53:23] Syudou**
Right, it's a bit embarrassing.
**[1:53:26] Mukai**
But it's good.
**[1:53:27] Mukai**
Being able to discuss embarrassing
stuff after the fact...
**[1:53:29] Mukai**
That was a nice roll,
so let's keep it going.
**[1:53:34] Mukai**
Since someone might win...
**[1:53:35] Mukai**
Taichi-san, give it a roll.
**[1:53:38] Taichi**
Okay.
**[1:53:40] Mukai**
Here you go.
**[1:53:42] Taichi**
Here I go.
**[1:53:43] Cast**
What's it gonna be?
**[1:53:45] Cast**
Win, win, win...!
**[1:53:47] Mukai**
Win!
**[1:53:48] Ano**
She won!
**[1:53:49] Cast**
Wow!
**[1:53:50] Mukai**
Well done!
**[1:53:52] Mukai**
Looks like Taichi-san won!
**[1:53:56] Cast**
Awesome!
**[1:53:57] Mukai**
That's another T-shirt gift, and if
Pochita could join us out here...
**[1:54:01] Cast**
Pochita!
**[1:54:03] Mukai**
Careful coming onto the stage, now.
**[1:54:04] Cast**
He looks like he chose violence!
**[1:54:06] Mukai**
Did you bump me?
**[1:54:07] Mukai**
Oh, you meant to.
**[1:54:08] Taichi**
It's kind of funny seeing Pochita
waiting just off-stage this entire time.
**[1:54:12] Mukai**
That it is.
**[1:54:13] Mukai**
Now, why don't we have one
of our artists draw this time?
**[1:54:18] Mukai**
Care to do the honors, Ano-chan?
**[1:54:19] Ano**
Okay.
**[1:54:20] Mukai**
What an adorable pair these two make...
**[1:54:24] Mukai**
Careful now!
**[1:54:26] Hamano**
It's like a chainsaw battle.
**[1:54:27] Mukai**
That is. Her chainsaw is really in there!
**[1:54:31] Mukai**
It's hitting Pochita.
**[1:54:33] Hamano**
It looks like he's eating her!
**[1:54:36] Mukai**
Quite the striking picture.
**[1:54:38] Ano**
Here we go.
**[1:54:39] Mukai**
Let's hear it.
**[1:54:41] Mukai**
Let's see...
**[1:54:42] Mukai**
The second floor of the arena.
**[1:54:46] Mukai**
Block D...
**[1:54:47] Cast**
D!
**[1:54:48] Cast**
D... Where'd D?
**[1:54:49] Mukai**
Where are you, D?
**[1:54:50] Ano**
D... A, B, C, D...
**[1:54:52] Cast**
Over there!
**[1:54:53] Mukai**
There they are.
**[1:54:55] Ano**
In block D...
**[1:54:57] Ano**
Row 7, seat 18.
**[1:54:59] Mukai**
Row 7, seat 18!
**[1:55:01] Cast**
Anyone there?
**[1:55:02] Mukai**
Are you there?
**[1:55:03] Cast**
It's someone...
**[1:55:04] Cast**
There!
**[1:55:05] Cast**
Wow!
**[1:55:06] Cast**
Congratulations!
**[1:55:07] Cast**
Ah, over there!
**[1:55:09] Mukai**
There you are, and if you'll head
to where the staff is after the show,
**[1:55:12] Mukai**
we'll get that shirt to you.
**[1:55:14] Mukai**
We'll just need to verify
your ticket or web purchase.
**[1:55:17] Mukai**
Let's see that autograph from Taichi-san!
**[1:55:19] Taichi**
Here it is! My autograph.
**[1:55:20] Cast**
So cute!
**[1:55:20] Mukai**
Thank you!
**[1:55:22] Mukai**
There's your prize.
**[1:55:23] Taichi**
Congratulations! Please,
don't sell it online!
**[1:55:26] Mukai**
Aw, come on, we don't have
time to get into that.
**[1:55:29] Mukai**
And here we have the subject
for this winning roll.
**[1:55:33] Mukai**
We'll be talking about
attention to details.
**[1:55:35] Taichi**
Details?
**[1:55:38] Taichi**
Let's see... details.
**[1:55:40] Taichi**
Whenever I go in for a recording session,
**[1:55:44] Taichi**
if I'm playing a boy,
I'll tend to wear pants.
**[1:55:49] Taichi**
And at some point, I realized when
I was going in for roles as girls,
**[1:55:53] Taichi**
I'd most likely be wearing skirts instead.
**[1:55:56] Taichi**
Can I head back to my seat for this?
**[1:55:58] Cast**
Go ahead.
**[1:55:59] Taichi**
I'll just walk and talk.
**[1:56:00] Cast**
I noticed your wardrobe today
has got a Sawatari style to it.
**[1:56:03] Taichi**
Exactly!
**[1:56:04] Taichi**
I picked this out. It's actually really cute.
**[1:56:08] Taichi**
I wasn't sure whether to go with pants
or a skirt until the last second today.
**[1:56:13] Taichi**
And Sawatari actually wears a parka
that's kinda... on the short side,
**[1:56:17] Taichi**
where you're not sure what else is on there.
**[1:56:21] Taichi**
And I am not quite that
confident in my legs, so.
**[1:56:24] Taichi**
So I went with something longer.
**[1:56:26] Fairouz**
I noticed everyone today has a little
something matching their character's motif.
**[1:56:28] Taichi**
Right!
**[1:56:30] Taichi**
It makes you realize how
much everyone cares, I think.
**[1:56:33] Sakata**
It's nice.
**[1:56:34] Mukai**
It really goes to show how that eye
for detail even goes into your wardrobe.
**[1:56:39] Mukai**
What about our artists? I get
the feeling they're really detail-oriented.
**[1:56:43] Mukai**
How about you, Ano-chan? Anything you
pay particularly close attention to?
**[1:56:47] Ano**
I mean, along those lines, I'm really
detail-oriented when it comes to costumes.
**[1:56:51] Ano**
Whenever I perform, I like to
make sure it's specially made...
**[1:56:55] Mukai**
Wow, really?
**[1:56:56] Ano**
So that's different every time.
**[1:56:58] Ano**
For today, though, I'm wearing
the one from the music video.
**[1:57:02] Ano**
But even for this, I made the request to
have a chainsaw going through my head.
**[1:57:07] Mukai**
You make those kinds of requests?
**[1:57:08] Ano**
That was what I asked for.
**[1:57:10] Mukai**
That is a nice detail.
**[1:57:11] Ano**
I like to get really specific.
**[1:57:13] Ano**
Another thing is, I tend to dress girlier
**[1:57:17] Ano**
when there are a lot
of men working on a shoot...
**[1:57:20] Mukai**
Oh, I see.
**[1:57:21] Ano**
And when the crew has more women
in it, I like to dress boyish.
**[1:57:26] Mukai**
Is that right?
**[1:57:27] Ano**
I also tend to get picky about
what I wear for TV appearances.
**[1:57:32] Mukai**
I see, I see. That is really something.
**[1:57:36] Mukai**
How about you, TOOBOE-san?
**[1:57:38] Tooboe**
Well, in terms of outfits,
I've been pretty picky today.
**[1:57:41] Tooboe**
I'm not actually in all
black today, if you'll see here...
**[1:57:44] Mukai**
What am I looking at here?
**[1:57:45] Tooboe**
I've got a Chainsaw Man item here...
**[1:57:50] Tooboe**
It's from the collaboration with Ground Y.
**[1:57:52] Tooboe**
It's a button cover with Makima's eye.
**[1:57:57] Mukai**
I see it.
**[1:57:58] Cast**
Hey, you're right!
**[1:57:59] Cast**
Scary...
**[1:58:00] Mukai**
Wow!
**[1:58:02] Mukai**
That's a nice detail!
**[1:58:04] Tooboe**
And then this is a Power necklace.
**[1:58:06] Mukai**
Well, look at that!
**[1:58:09] Fairouz**
Doesn't that belong to me?
**[1:58:14] Mukai**
Wow!
**[1:58:15] Mukai**
So, TOOBOE-san, if that question hadn't
come up, would we have never found out?
**[1:58:20] Tooboe**
Nope.
**[1:58:21] Mukai**
Wow!
**[1:58:22] Cast**
Wow!
**[1:58:23] Cast**
Good thing it did.
**[1:58:24] Mukai**
Now that's detail.
**[1:58:27] Mukai**
It goes to show, we're all
particular about something.
**[1:58:31] Mukai**
And as much as I'd like to keep talking,
I think this will be our last roll.
**[1:58:34] Mukai**
For the last one...
you wanna go, Sakata-san?
**[1:58:37] Sakata**
Me, last?
**[1:58:38] Sakata**
If it's the last... shouldn't that be...
**[1:58:40] Toya**
Aw, it's fine, it's fine!
**[1:58:40] Sakata**
You sure?
**[1:58:41] Toya**
It's cool, go for it.
**[1:58:41] Sakata**
Okay. I'll do it.
**[1:58:43] Toya**
Get going.
**[1:58:43] Cast**
They're so considerate.
**[1:58:44] Cast**
Might as well do it together.
**[1:58:45] Cast**
That's a good idea.
**[1:58:47] Mukai**
Roll it together.
**[1:58:48] Cast**
And if they both win, is it
an autograph from both of them?
**[1:58:50] Mukai**
I think so.
**[1:58:51] Cast**
Is that what you're gonna do?
**[1:58:53] Mukai**
Most people don't go straight up, but...
**[1:58:55] Mukai**
Let's try it. Toya-san,
Sakata-san, roll that dice.
**[1:59:01] Cast**
What was that?
**[1:59:02] Cast**
What the heck?
**[1:59:04] Mukai**
Hey, come on!
**[1:59:05] Mukai**
Hey! Hey, that wasn't right!
**[1:59:05] Cast**
No, no, no...
**[1:59:08] Cast**
That's cheating!
**[1:59:09] Cast**
That was kinda...
**[1:59:10] Mukai**
You wanna go again? Can you do it right?
**[1:59:12] Mukai**
Because that one wasn't legit...
**[1:59:14] Taichi**
True. No cheating.
**[1:59:16] Fairouz**
Even Power wouldn't try that!
**[1:59:17] Cast**
Seriously.
**[1:59:19] Mukai**
They are really talking this over...
**[1:59:21] Mukai**
Hey, stop!
**[1:59:26] Cast**
Are we at a boys' school all of a sudden?
**[1:59:28] Cast**
They are really enjoying this.
**[1:59:30] Mukai**
A little too much.
**[1:59:30] Cast**
Do it right!
**[1:59:32] Mukai**
Here we go.
**[1:59:33] Mukai**
And this time...
**[1:59:38] Cast**
Quit trying to force it!
**[1:59:41] Mukai**
Headshot!
**[1:59:45] Mukai**
You win! Yay!
**[1:59:48] Cast**
Wow!
**[1:59:50] Mukai**
They got the winning side! Good for them.
**[1:59:51] Cast**
Awesome.
**[1:59:54] Cast**
Here's Pochita.
**[1:59:55] Cast**
Pochita's coming...
**[1:59:57] Mukai**
Come on, Pochita.
**[1:59:58] Mukai**
Wow, careful now.
**[2:00:00] Mukai**
All right... here we go.
**[2:00:03] Mukai**
Syudou-san, could you draw this?
**[2:00:06] Syudou**
You want me to do it?
**[2:00:07] Syudou**
Sure, right on.
**[2:00:08] Mukai**
He went right in there.
Is he gonna be all right?
**[2:00:10] Syudou**
Wow, Pochita!
**[2:00:11] Syudou**
So cute...
**[2:00:12] Tooboe**
I'm not even on camera now.
**[2:00:15] Syudou**
He's bigger than I am!
**[2:00:17] Mukai**
A lot of the shot is blocked out now.
**[2:00:19] Mukai**
You are basically invisible.
**[2:00:20] Tooboe**
How's this even work?
**[2:00:22] Syudou**
Here we go, I've got the seat.
**[2:00:26] Cast**
Where's it gonna be now?
**[2:00:28] Mukai**
Okay, what have you got?
**[2:00:29] Syudou**
Okay, here it is.
**[2:00:30] Syudou**
On the second floor...
**[2:00:32] Syudou**
Block C.
**[2:00:34] Mukai**
Block C. Where's that?
**[2:00:35] Mukai**
Block C...
**[2:00:37] Mukai**
Over there!
**[2:00:37] Syudou**
Row 7, seat 8 in block C!
**[2:00:40] Mukai**
Row 7, seat 8!
**[2:00:41] Syudou**
The person sitting in Seat 7-8!
**[2:00:43] Syudou**
Congratulations!
**[2:00:47] Cast**
Congratulations!
**[2:00:48] Mukai**
You'll wanna head over there after
the show's over to receive your prize.
**[2:00:54] Mukai**
Thank you so much.
**[2:00:55] Mukai**
Now, as these two write their names...
**[2:01:00] Cast**
That is fancy, getting two autographs.
**[2:01:02] Mukai**
That's true. To wrap the show up.
**[2:01:05] Mukai**
And it was totally legitimate!
**[2:01:08] Hamano**
Miracles really do happen.
**[2:01:11] Cast**
That was a real shock!
**[2:01:12] Mukai**
While they're at it, since we
were just talking about details,
**[2:01:17] Mukai**
let's hear some more about that.
**[2:01:19] Cast**
That's a good one!
**[2:01:20] Cast**
If there was anything
you wanted to mention...
**[2:01:22] Cast**
Something you wanted to bring up.
**[2:01:25] Hamano**
It's not like you need to watch him do it!
**[2:01:27] Mukai**
True.
**[2:01:28] Mukai**
Toya-san, was there anything
you wanted to talk about?
**[2:01:31] Taichi**
He's acting like your manager now...
**[2:01:32] Mukai**
"Stories with a screw loose."
**[2:01:36] Mukai**
What do you mean, Toya-san?
**[2:01:38] Toya**
This isn't actually about me, but...
**[2:01:40] Toya**
Shogo Sakata-kun's approach to doing
voiceovers is absolutely nuts, in a good way.
**[2:01:49] Mukai**
What do you mean by that?
**[2:01:51] Toya**
Well, if he's smoking in a scene,
he always brings cigarettes with him.
**[2:01:56] Toya**
And he has it...
**[2:01:57] Toya**
He doesn't actually smoke
while recording, but...
**[2:01:59] Mukai**
I don't think anyone does!
**[2:02:00] Toya**
It's not that bad.
**[2:02:01] Hamano**
That's a little too method.
**[2:02:02] Mukai**
No one is that much of a bad boy.
**[2:02:06] Toya**
But he does the scene
with the unlit cigarette.
**[2:02:09] Mukai**
So he brings props in with
him when bringing Aki to life?
**[2:02:14] Toya**
Right.
**[2:02:15] Toya**
There's that and...
**[2:02:17] Mukai**
And here we have the autograph...
**[2:02:20] Mukai**
Very cute.
**[2:02:20] Cast**
So cute!
**[2:02:22] Sakata**
Who's getting this?
**[2:02:24] Mukai**
They're right over there.
**[2:02:26] Mukai**
Congratulations!
**[2:02:27] Mukai**
Please don't sell it online.
**[2:02:30] Toya**
Cut it out!
**[2:02:32] Mukai**
That is pretty wild. I like it.
**[2:02:35] Toya**
And there's one other thing.
**[2:02:36] Toya**
His hair for today!
**[2:02:38] Mukai**
Right.
**[2:02:39] Toya**
He's been growing it out ever
since we started recording,
**[2:02:42] Toya**
and now it's finally this long...
**[2:02:43] Sakata**
It took about a year to get this point.
**[2:02:46] Mukai**
All to embody Aki.
**[2:02:49] Toya**
You're the only one
who can do stuff like that.
**[2:02:51] Mukai**
That's a lovely way
of being crazy, Sakata-san.
**[2:02:55] Cast**
Very nice.
**[2:02:56] Sakata**
Thank you so much. Thank you so much.
**[2:02:59] Mukai**
Do you have a crazy story?
**[2:02:59] Sakata**
I guess it's time for a crazy story of mine?
**[2:03:02] Sakata**
Well, there's this guy
I know named Kikunosuke Toya...
**[2:03:07] Mukai**
Kikunosuke-san, you say...
**[2:03:09] Sakata**
And he likes saunas so much.
**[2:03:12] Sakata**
He invited me to one, so I joined him once.
**[2:03:17] Sakata**
Have you guys heard of Aufguss before?
**[2:03:20] Sakata**
They move the heat around...
**[2:03:21] Toya**
With a cloth.
**[2:03:22] Sakata**
They send a hot breeze at you with a cloth.
**[2:03:25] Toya**
It's really hot!
**[2:03:27] Sakata**
It was hot enough inside of
the sauna room, like over 100 degrees!
**[2:03:32] Mukai**
That is hot.
**[2:03:33] Sakata**
And in this kind of heat that makes it
feel like your skin is slowly burning...
**[2:03:36] Sakata**
I was like "I'm done!"
But this guy stayed in there.
**[2:03:41] Sakata**
Until the Aufguss session was finished.
**[2:03:44] Sakata**
As it just kept getting even hotter...
**[2:03:46] Mukai**
Wow.
**[2:03:47] Sakata**
I was sure he was gonna be burned.
**[2:03:48] Sakata**
And then afterward, when I had already
thought he was crazy for staying in there...
**[2:03:54] Cast**
Wow.
**[2:03:54] Sakata**
It's after the sauna, so we go out
for a light bite to eat, and he tells me...
**[2:04:01] Sakata**
"I burnt my nipples."
**[2:04:03] Mukai**
Can that happen?
**[2:04:04] Mukai**
During an Aufguss session?
**[2:04:06] Sakata**
I thought that was crazy.
**[2:04:07] Sakata**
Who does that? Gets a
nipple burn in the sauna?
**[2:04:10] Mukai**
I don't know where to begin.
**[2:04:12] Mukai**
This sounds like the opposite
of an "It's just sauna things!" joke.
**[2:04:15] Mukai**
"Don't you hate it when you
burn your nipples at the sauna?"
**[2:04:18] Cast**
I don't know how many
people get that reference...
**[2:04:20] Mukai**
I'm sure plenty do!
**[2:04:22] Toya**
I noticed when I was putting my
clothes back on. "Hey, I'm burnt."
**[2:04:26] Mukai**
You actually were?
**[2:04:27] Toya**
Yep.
**[2:04:29] Mukai**
Does that happen often?
Anyone else here a sauna person?
**[2:04:33] Mukai**
TOOBOE-san!
**[2:04:35] Tooboe**
I love to hit the sauna.
**[2:04:36] Mukai**
And are nipple burns
a common hazard, or...?
**[2:04:39] Toya**
They are, right?
**[2:04:39] Tooboe**
I do not think so.
**[2:04:43] Tooboe**
But the entire TOOBOE team loves saunas,
**[2:04:47] Tooboe**
so we're always trading information
about the different locations...
**[2:04:51] Tooboe**
And our manager, who went to
a certain big name sauna in Shibuya,
**[2:04:55] Tooboe**
apparently burnt his nipples.
**[2:04:56] Mukai**
Whoa, whoa, whoa...
**[2:04:57] Toya**
See, it does happen!
**[2:04:59] Toya**
I wonder how common it is.
**[2:05:00] Mukai**
Look, even if it did happen, I don't
know how many people would wanna share...
**[2:05:04] Mukai**
But that just proves it's a crazy story.
**[2:05:08] Mukai**
And an entertaining one
to boot, thank you so much!
**[2:05:09] Toya**
Thank you!
**[2:05:13] Mukai**
And there we have it,
we had some lucky winners,
**[2:05:16] Mukai**
and got to listen to some
fascinating discussions.
**[2:05:19] Mukai**
This has been The Chainsaw
Man Custom Dice Talk!
**[2:05:23] Mukai**
Thanks to our artist and cast member guests.
**[2:05:26] Mukai**
If you could all clear
the stage for a minute,
**[2:05:28] Mukai**
while we give you another
big round of applause!
**[2:05:34] Mukai**
Thanks so much bearing
with us, really. Thank you.
**[2:05:39] Mukai**
Those are some really
proper bows. I feel honored.
**[2:05:44] Mukai**
Last thing I want to do is block
our artists as they head out.
**[2:05:47] Mukai**
So down I go...
**[2:05:49] Mukai**
And there we go, we got to
hear some unexpected gifts,
**[2:05:54] Mukai**
and some unexpected conversations.
**[2:05:57] Mukai**
With that corner done,
along with the live reading,
**[2:06:04] Mukai**
what's that make our last corner to be?
**[2:06:07] Mukai**
Well, what better way to
end than on a high note?
**[2:06:11] Mukai**
It's time for the Chainsaw Man
Concert Stage!
**[2:06:17] Mukai**
You all sound nice and excited,
just how I like it.
**[2:06:21] Mukai**
And finishing out the night
for us will be someone...
**[2:06:25] Mukai**
We've heard them have some fun conversations,
**[2:06:29] Mukai**
including being convinced their involvement
in the project may have been a prank...
**[2:06:33] Mukai**
And now it's time to sing the song
that came from that experience.
**[2:06:37] Mukai**
It's the ending for episode 5
by Syudou-san!
**[2:06:42] Mukai**
Now... as for episode 5, it's remarkable
for Makima's finger biting,
**[2:06:48] Mukai**
and the song brings to mind ominous
memories of the endless eighth floor,
**[2:06:55] Mukai**
which it shone a spotlight on wonderfully.
**[2:06:59] Mukai**
It's time for you to hear the final
musical number of the day.
**[2:07:03] Mukai**
"In the Backroom" by Syudou-san!
**[2:07:05] Mukai**
Here we go!
**[2:08:47] Syudou**
Let's keep it going to the end!
**[2:09:41] Syudou**
Chainsaw Fes!
**[2:10:37] Syudou**
Thank you very much!
**[2:10:45] Mukai**
Thank you!
**[2:10:48] Mukai**
Now that was a performance
befitting our last number.
**[2:10:54] Mukai**
Thank you for that, Syudou-san.
**[2:10:57] Mukai**
How wonderful... He really
had the place jumping.
**[2:11:02] Mukai**
Now, that about does it
for Chainsaw Fes tonight.
**[2:11:06] Mukai**
We had lots of live readings
and lots of musical performances.
**[2:11:10] Mukai**
Did you all have a good time?
**[2:11:15] Mukai**
It is great to hear those
cheers from the heart!
**[2:11:19] Mukai**
Now, we're running short on time,
**[2:11:22] Mukai**
so let's have the cast take
the stage one last time.
**[2:11:26] Mukai**
Let's welcome them with big applause!
**[2:11:39] Mukai**
Thank you so much.
**[2:11:43] Mukai**
And before you know it,
here we are at the ending.
**[2:11:46] Mukai**
The time has come
for everyone to wave goodbye.
**[2:11:49] Mukai**
And now as sad as we are to see it end...
**[2:11:54] Hamano**
True.
**[2:11:54] Mukai**
But without endings, there can
never come new beginnings, right?
**[2:11:57] Cast**
Right.
**[2:11:58] Mukai**
So, let's hear each
of your thoughts about today,
**[2:12:04] Mukai**
and get a message for
the audience as we close out.
**[2:12:08] Mukai**
Let's start with Hamano-san. Are you ready?
**[2:12:10] Hamano**
Yep. My name's Daiki Hamano
and I play Samurai Sword.
**[2:12:13] Hamano**
Thank you all so much
for coming out tonight.
**[2:12:20] Hamano**
It has been an absolute honor to be involved
**[2:12:24] Hamano**
in the story of madness, friendship,
and love that is Chainsaw Man.
**[2:12:30] Hamano**
I was able to see how many
people love the project today,
**[2:12:36] Hamano**
and seeing this kind of passion makes me
think there's a lot in store for the future.
**[2:12:42] Hamano**
There were a lot of announcements
today for figures, cards, and such...
**[2:12:48] Hamano**
Plenty of merchandise is on the way,
**[2:12:50] Hamano**
and I hope you'll all continue to support
Chainsaw Man and the Chainsaw Man anime.
**[2:12:56] Hamano**
Thanks for having me today!
**[2:12:58] Mukai**
Thank you!
**[2:13:01] Mukai**
Next up is you, Taichi-san.
**[2:13:03] Taichi**
Thanks, I'm Yo Taichi, and
I play Akane Sawatari,
**[2:13:04] Taichi**
I want to thank you all
again for coming out today!
**[2:13:08] Taichi**
Well, since I didn't get to
tell it during the dice talk,
**[2:13:13] Taichi**
I thought I'd mention a story that
I'm comfortable talking about now.
**[2:13:17] Mukai**
What's that?
**[2:13:19] Taichi**
When the PV for this project came out,
my role still hadn't been cast yet.
**[2:13:26] Taichi**
I was completely obsessed
with the manga at the time,
**[2:13:31] Taichi**
and out of frustration
for not getting a role,
**[2:13:33] Taichi**
I gathered up all of my friends
who were Chainsaw Man fans...
**[2:13:38] Taichi**
And told them, "I hope they don't make
a good anime without me!"
**[2:13:42] Taichi**
I ranted like that for so long...
**[2:13:43] Mukai**
You actually said that?
**[2:13:44] Taichi**
I am not a good drinker at all,
**[2:13:46] Taichi**
but I drank 2-3 times more than
usual and got totally hammered,
**[2:13:50] Taichi**
whining, "Don't do it without me!"
the whole time,
**[2:13:53] Taichi**
and somehow I ended up getting through
the auditions, and here I am now.
**[2:13:59] Taichi**
Which is... really a story
I only feel comfortable telling
**[2:13:59] Mukai**
Wow.
**[2:14:03] Taichi**
because of how it turned out.
**[2:14:05] Taichi**
But I am really quite honored
and grateful to be involved
**[2:14:11] Taichi**
in a project that has so much support,
**[2:14:14] Taichi**
but at the same time,
I want to see even more!
**[2:14:18] Taichi**
And that's the way I'm feeling after today.
**[2:14:21] Taichi**
I hope you'll all continue to be excited too,
and thank you again for joining us!
**[2:14:26] Mukai**
Thank you very much!
**[2:14:30] Mukai**
Next up, Takahashi-san, if you would.
**[2:14:32] Takahashi**
Hello, I'm Karin Takahashi, and I play Kobeni.
Thanks for coming today.
**[2:14:36] Takahashi**
Ever since the audition I...
**[2:14:40] Takahashi**
At first, it wasn't certain I'd get to
try out for the role of Kobeni,
**[2:14:44] Takahashi**
but my manager pulled out all
the stops and got me the opportunity,
**[2:14:48] Takahashi**
and after actually getting the role, and then
getting to be here with so many fans,
**[2:14:53] Takahashi**
and other cast members,
and artists who love Chainsaw Man...
**[2:14:55] Takahashi**
I am thrilled to have
had such an awesome day!
**[2:14:58] Takahashi**
And I hope we'll all be
able to gather up again
**[2:15:01] Takahashi**
for another Chainsaw Man
event like this some day.
**[2:15:04] Takahashi**
I really want the future to be
full of great stuff like this,
**[2:15:07] Takahashi**
so I hope you'll continue
to support Chainsaw Man!
**[2:15:09] Takahashi**
It's been a real pleasure,
thank you so much!
**[2:15:11] Mukai**
Thank you!
**[2:15:15] Mukai**
Next up, let's hear from Ise-san.
**[2:15:18] Ise**
Right, I want to thank everyone
for joining us again tonight.
**[2:15:22] Ise**
Did you all have good time?
**[2:15:26] Ise**
That's good!
**[2:15:27] Ise**
I want you to know that the cast up
here all really do love Chainsaw Man,
**[2:15:34] Ise**
and I think it's a dream come true
for all of us that we got to work on it.
**[2:15:41] Ise**
Working on Chainsaw Man was
honestly a goal I had for myself,
**[2:15:48] Ise**
and I really wanted to play
the character of Himeno so much...
**[2:15:51] Ise**
And once I got the role, it was at
night and I called up Fai-chan...
**[2:15:56] Fairouz**
Right!
**[2:15:57] Ise**
I'm pretty sure I shouted,
"I got Himeno!" while in tears.
**[2:15:59] Fairouz**
She really did!
**[2:16:01] Taichi**
That is adorable!
**[2:16:01] Ise**
Late at night, but I think that shows
how much enthusiasm has for the project,
**[2:16:07] Ise**
and their roles in it, working
hard on their performances.
**[2:16:10] Ise**
All so that we could make sure it's
a work that has meaning for the audience.
**[2:16:19] Ise**
It's hard to put into words,
**[2:16:22] Ise**
but I do think we managed to channel
those sentiments into the anime,
**[2:16:26] Ise**
and everyone, the director and
the staff who worked on the anime,
**[2:16:30] Ise**
were all so professional...
**[2:16:33] Ise**
And it was a real joy to be involved in
a project with no compromises like this one.
**[2:16:40] Ise**
And, well, Himeno... might not be
coming back in the future, either way,
**[2:16:49] Ise**
but when you see her again when watching
the Blu-rays or rereading the manga,
**[2:16:55] Ise**
I hope you'll continue to
love her for a long time.
**[2:16:58] Ise**
I'll be continuing to cheer for the project,
and I hope you all will, too!
**[2:17:03] Ise**
Thank you so much for having me tonight!
**[2:17:05] Mukai**
Thank you, too!
**[2:17:10] Mukai**
Next up is you, Fairouz-san.
**[2:17:12] Fairouz**
Right, I'm Fairouz Ai, and I play Power.
**[2:17:15] Fairouz**
Thank you all for coming tonight!
**[2:17:19] Fairouz**
Thanks so much!
**[2:17:21] Fairouz**
Wow, the fact that we started off with
the whole crowd cheering for Power...
**[2:17:25] Fairouz**
And then at some point, the Event Devil
showed up and there was a bit of trouble,
**[2:17:31] Fairouz**
but then Power was like
*bam*, and saved everyone!
**[2:17:33] Fairouz**
She really is basically
a superhero, isn't she?
**[2:17:37] Sakata**
Sh-She's concocting new memories...
**[2:17:39] Toya**
She is such a liar!
**[2:17:42] Fairouz**
Well, it was a ton of fun!
**[2:17:44] Fairouz**
And if I get the chance to
do it again, I'd love to!
**[2:17:46] Fairouz**
Thank you all so much!
**[2:17:47] Mukai**
Thank you!
**[2:17:49] Mukai**
It feels like... she stuck to
her lie all the way through.
**[2:17:53] Mukai**
Maybe that's just a product of too
much passion? Thank you, either way.
**[2:17:55] Mukai**
Now, Sakata-san, if you would.
**[2:17:57] Sakata**
Hello again, I'm Shogo Sakata,
and I play Aki Hayakawa.
**[2:18:00] Sakata**
And getting to play the role
of Aki is really like a miracle to me,
**[2:18:08] Sakata**
along with getting to stand
in front of you all like this.
**[2:18:12] Sakata**
It honestly doesn't feel real to me.
**[2:18:17] Sakata**
I'm not really sure how to say this, but...
**[2:18:23] Sakata**
I'm going to continue to work hard
**[2:18:25] Sakata**
to make sure you're all glad that Shogo
Sakata is the one portraying Aki Hayakawa,
**[2:18:31] Sakata**
so I hope you'll all continue
to support Chainsaw Man.
**[2:18:35] Sakata**
Thank you so much!
**[2:18:36] Mukai**
Thank you!
**[2:18:41] Mukai**
All right, take us home, Toya-san.
**[2:18:44] Toya**
Sure.
**[2:18:44] Toya**
Well, I feel all of your love
for Chainsaw Man right here.
**[2:18:56] Toya**
Being out here in front of you all...
**[2:18:59] Toya**
I mean, we all love Chainsaw Man, don't we?
**[2:19:01] Toya**
The cast does, too...
**[2:19:02] Toya**
Mukai-san does, the artists do too,
**[2:19:07] Toya**
and for all of us to be able to
talk about it together is so great.
**[2:19:12] Toya**
Having you guys out there is
what makes us work so hard.
**[2:19:16] Toya**
It's a big part of our motivation,
and I'm grateful for that.
**[2:19:20] Toya**
Not to mention to the staff,
who created the opportunity for all this.
**[2:19:26] Toya**
There are just so many people that
I can't express enough thanks to.
**[2:19:31] Toya**
I'll be hoping I get another chance
to see you all again like this!
**[2:19:38] Toya**
Thank you all for coming tonight.
**[2:19:42] Mukai**
And thank you!
**[2:19:48] Mukai**
Well... that about does it.
**[2:19:51] Mukai**
In the end, let's take a commemorative
photo with the crowd to close us out.
**[2:19:55] Mukai**
If you could all gather around,
with the audience behind you.
**[2:19:58] Mukai**
You too, Pochita!
**[2:19:59] Mukai**
Pochita?
**[2:20:01] Cast**
Pochita?
**[2:20:02] Mukai**
Pochita is always so cute.
**[2:20:05] Cast**
When Syudou-san was singing earlier, I could
see him going like this the entire time.
**[2:20:10] Mukai**
He was feeling it!
**[2:20:11] Cast**
He sure was!
**[2:20:13] Mukai**
Come on in.
**[2:20:14] Cast**
Too cute...
**[2:20:16] Mukai**
So cute.
**[2:20:17] Sakata**
He had to have been really jumping.
**[2:20:18] Mukai**
Maybe he's a real party animal.
**[2:20:23] Mukai**
Okay, if you'd all gather around...
**[2:20:25] Mukai**
And now we're gonna bring up
the lights for the shot.
**[2:20:30] Mukai**
There are those lights...
**[2:20:36] Cast**
Should we stand or sit?
**[2:20:37] Mukai**
Which do you wanna do?
**[2:20:38] Cast**
Up or down?
**[2:20:39] Mukai**
Why don't you go ahead and sit. That'll get
more of the crowd in there with you.
**[2:20:45] Mukai**
Maybe cover up the face of a certain liar...
**[2:20:49] Mukai**
Was there anyone like that?
**[2:20:52] Mukai**
Okay, here we go.
**[2:20:53] Mukai**
If you would, Toya-san.
**[2:20:55] Toya**
Say "Chainsaw"!
**[2:21:00] Mukai**
Oh, right. Thank you very much.
**[2:21:02] Mukai**
Here's the Mushroom Devil.
**[2:21:05] Cast**
He's more than one kind of devil.
**[2:21:07] Toya**
I'll go ready and first.
**[2:21:09] Sakata**
On top of everything else?
**[2:21:10] Toya**
Ready and...
**[2:21:12] All**
Say "Chainsaw"!
**[2:21:16] All**
Okay, a standing one, too?
**[2:21:17] Mukai**
Thank you so much.
**[2:21:19] Mukai**
And a standing one.
**[2:21:19] Fairouz**
Let's keep it going.
**[2:21:20] Mukai**
Okay.
**[2:21:28] Toya**
Here we go.
**[2:21:29] Toya**
Ready and...
**[2:21:30] Toya**
Say "Chainsaw"!
**[2:21:36] Mukai**
And one without me.
**[2:21:39] Mukai**
I'll be over here sulking.
**[2:21:44] Toya**
Let's do it.
**[2:21:46] Toya**
Ready and...
**[2:21:47] Toya**
Say Chainsaw!
**[2:21:56] Cast**
All good?
**[2:21:57] Cast**
Thank you so much!
**[2:22:00] Cast**
Thank you!
**[2:22:01] Cast**
Thanks!
**[2:22:02] Mukai**
Thank you all for coming!
**[2:22:04] Mukai**
You too, Pochita!
**[2:22:05] Cast**
Pochita! Pochita!
**[2:22:07] Mukai**
Pochita's really cute when clapping.
**[2:22:09] Cast**
His arms won't reach!
**[2:22:11] Mukai**
They won't, so he's slapping his tummy.
**[2:22:14] Mukai**
So, Pochita is going to stay
on stage with us as we close things out.
**[2:22:22] Mukai**
This has been the night portion of Chainsaw Fes!
**[2:22:25] Mukai**
The series is currently serialized

**[2:22:45] Mukai**

Sakata-san, and Fairouz-san.
**[2:22:49] Mukai**
Tomori Kusunoki-san was
scheduled to be with us tonight,
**[2:22:52] Mukai**
but had to opt out due to not feeling well.
**[2:22:56] Mukai**
We apologize to everyone who was
looking forward to seeing her,
**[2:23:00] Mukai**
but we hope you'll understand.
**[2:23:02] Mukai**
A portion of the event will be

**[2:23:06] Mukai**
so if you weren't able to make it to
the arena, be sure to check it out!
**[2:23:09] Mukai**
And now, that about does it. Are you ready?
**[2:23:14] Mukai**
That about does it, we hope you'll continue
to support Chainsaw Man for a long time.
**[2:23:18] Mukai**
For the ending...
**[2:23:21] Mukai**
What are you shaking for?
What's all this shaking?
**[2:23:25] Mukai**
Okay, then...
**[2:23:27] Cast**
So cute!
**[2:23:27] Mukai**
Aren't they though?
**[2:23:29] Cast**
Cute!
**[2:23:30] Cast**
Lucky!
