[00:15] ---
    From when I was little,
    I had a question in my mind.

[00:19] ---
    Why am I only myself, and not someone else?
[00:23] ---
    I heard that "I think, therefore I am"
    are the words of an ancient philosopher.

[00:29] ---
    But I didn't think.
    I thought about someone else.

[00:33] ---
    That perhaps, the person over there
    is myself as well...

[00:55] ---
    Episode 1
    "I think about others"
[00:56] ---
    "Think about others."
    When I did that, I had turned into someone else.

[01:03] ---
    But no more than five seconds.
    After that, I immediately returned to my own self.

[01:07] ---
    Furthermore, for the duration,
    my body completely loses consciousness.

[01:12] ---
    Often I would find myself
    injured in some way.

[01:15] ---
    Furthermore, I can only possess someone
    that is within my line of sight.

[01:18] ---
    So, I couldn't use it for lewd things.
[01:21] ---
    At most, it was for possessing someone
    that pissed me off,

[01:24] ---
    only to pick a fight with a stranger
    then return to myself.

[01:26] ---
    That kind of retaliation was
    all I could use this for.

[01:38] ---
    You bastard! What do you
    think you just did, huh?
[01:43] ---
    But finally, I came up with an idea
    that can take full advantage of this special ability.

[01:49] ---
    
[01:50] ---
    Five minutes before time.
[01:58] ---
    I could possess one smart guy in class
    after another, memorize the answers,

[02:01] ---
    memorize the answers, and fill in my answers
    after returning... and I repeat that.

[02:10] ---
    Year-End Test Standings
    1 - Yu Otosaka
[02:18] ---
    Of course, I'm planning on attending
    a very prestigious high school.

[02:22] ---
    However, unlike a normal test, I don't know
    who is intelligent during an entrance exam...

[02:28] ---
    Ever since, I've snuck into
    prestigious cram schools one after another,

[02:31] ---
    pretending to be a student
    of that cram school.

[02:36] ---
    Which student facing entrance exams
    apply to which schools?

[02:39] ---
    And which subjects were they best at?
[02:41] ---
    I researched all of that very thoroughly.
[02:43] ---
    High School
    Entrance Exam Venue
[02:44] ---
    And so, I found one student after another that
    was vying to enter the same school as I was.

[02:51] ---
    And successfully got admitted
    to an elite high school.

[02:54] ---
    Entrance Ceremony
[02:54] ---
    Now, a word from the representative
    for the new students.
[02:57] ---
    Yu Otosaka, please go ahead.
[03:00] ---
    Yes!
[03:01] ---
    So that means he's the top of the class!
[03:03] ---
    And he's good-looking to boot...!
[03:04] ---
    Entrance Ceremony
[03:12] ---
    Today, for us new students, you have organized
    a grand ceremony of this sort,
[03:17] ---
    and we are deeply in gratitude for it.
[03:19] ---
    Wrapped in the warm rays
    of the spring sunshine,
[03:21] ---
    we are now able to be a part
    of the well-established ranks of Hinomori High School.
[03:23] ---
    Hey, hey....
[03:25] ---
    Isn't he attractive?
[03:27] ---
    Yeah, he might be your type, Mitchon.
[03:29] ---
    Huh? What? Yumi doesn't seem
    to be against the idea either?
[03:36] ---
    We are very grateful for
    this opportunity today.
[03:43] ---
    Previous Term Class Ranking
    1 - Yu Otosaka
[03:57] [SONG] ---
    Sorry for the sudden email:
    My name is Sugimoto from Class 1-2.
    Will you possibly come to the back
    of the school building after school?
    I will be waiting for you till the night.
[03:59] ---
    This again...
[04:01] ---
    Stuff like this is happening more often.
[04:03] ---
    Not only am I superior
    as the top of the class academically,

[04:05] ---
    I'm one of the more physically attractive.
[04:07] ---
    It's impossible to not be
    popular among girls like this.

[04:10] ---
    Sheesh, I'll hurry them all on home.
[04:13] ---
    I'm sorry for calling you
    over all the way out here!
[04:16] ---
    That's fine. What did you want from me?
[04:20] ---
    Um, I'm fine from starting as just friends...
[04:23] ---
    But can you think about dating me, please?
[04:27] ---
    Well... In order to keep my grades up
    at where they are now,
[04:32] ---
    I have to shave time to
    sleep to keep studying.
[04:34] ---
    I don't have the luxury
    of dealing with other people. So, I'm sorry.
[04:40] ---
    Of course that's a pack of lies.
    I don't study whatsoever.

[04:44] ---
    I see, I understand.
    I'm sorry for calling you out like this so suddenly!
[04:52] ---
    There's no way I would choose
    normal girls like you ilk.

[04:57] ---
    The one I'm after...
[04:59] ---
    So Yumi, you missed
    the special program from yesterday?!
[05:03] ---
    Of course, is the madonna of this school...
[05:07] ---
    Yumi Shirayanagi.
[05:09] ---
    I will...
[05:12] ---
    ...make you mine!
[05:14] ---
    I know I will definitely get a chance.
[05:16] ---
    It all lies in how I use the five seconds,
    which are the limits of my ability!

[05:16] ---
    And so, I was texting until 3 o'clock last night,
    so I overslept... it was so hard for me to get up!
[05:24] ---
    That's it!
[05:25] ---
    So...
[05:28] ---
    Mitchon, what's wrong?
[05:47] ---
    Call the police!
[05:48] ---
    Are you all right?
[05:53] ---
    Oh, it looks like he's okay.
[05:54] ---
    I'm so glad...
[05:57] ---
    That was close, but that
    went according to plan...

[06:00] ---
    Yumi!
[06:01] ---
    Are you all right?
[06:03] ---
    That was a close one.
[06:05] ---
    Yumi, you were about to be run over by a truck
    when Otosaka from class 1 saved you!
[06:11] ---
    Is that true...?
[06:13] ---
    Yeah. Are you hurt anywhere?
[06:17] ---
    Let's go to the nurse's office. Can you walk?
[06:22] ---
    Yes...
[06:27] ---
    Then, I'll go home now.
[06:29] ---
    Please wait!
[06:31] ---
    U-Um...
[06:32] ---
    The two of us were about to go eat
    our favorite pancakes together...
[06:38] ---
    would you like to come with us?
[06:41] ---
    I'll have to pass.
    It's better to keep that among friends, right?
[06:45] ---
    But, you just saved my life!
[06:49] ---
    I'd like to properly repay that,
    and I'd like to chat with you a little while longer...
[06:57] ---
    Whoa, I have a call. Who is it?
[06:59] ---
    Then, I'll go home. Yup, yup, yup.
[07:02] ---
    Mitchon, what's wrong?
[07:04] ---
    My big brother suddenly came back from Kyoto,
[07:06] ---
    and he apparently ordered
    top-end sushi for the entire family!
[07:09] ---
    So, I'm leaving the rest
    to the two of you! Thanks!
[07:12] ---
    That was an obvious farce,
    but a nice assist nonetheless, Mitchon!

[07:21] ---
    Sorry to make you wait.
[07:26] ---
    Um, there's a special way to eat this.
[07:28] ---
    Oh?
[07:29] ---
    Please mimic me.
[07:31] ---
    If you do this, the syrup
    gets across to the entire thing.
[07:35] ---
    Then, stack them up, cut
    them, and try a bite of it.
[07:46] ---
    Amazing! Just by changing how you eat it,
    it gets this delicious? I never knew!
[07:54] ---
    No matter how many times I
    eat this, it's delicious...
[07:59] ---
    Oh, um...
[08:01] ---
    The song they're playing right now
    is Haro-haro, isn't it?
[08:04] ---
    Haro-haro?
[08:05] ---
    You don't know of them?
    I had thought every boy knew of them very well.
[08:10] ---
    So something like them is popular nowadays?
[08:14] ---
    Otosaka, can we go home
    together from school
[08:17] ---
    or have an occasional meal together
    like this again sometime?
[08:21] ---
    Sure, I guess.
[08:24] ---
    I'm so glad...
[08:30] ---
    Shall we go home together today as well?
    I will be waiting for you near the main gate.
[08:41] ---
    Oh, I shouldn't do this out loud.
[08:44] ---
    I guess I'll hurry on over.
[08:45] ---
    Yu Otosaka from class 1-1, please report immediately
    to the student council room. I repeat...

[08:51] ---
    What's this?
[08:51] ---
    Yu Otosaka from class 1-1, please report immediately
    to the student council room.

[08:55] ---
    -Sorry, I will be late.
[08:56] ---
    -Sorry, I will be late.
    -I will be waiting.
[08:58] ---
    I'm Omura, the student council president.
[09:00] ---
    What do you want with me? I'm making someone
    wait, so I'd like you to make it quick.
[09:05] ---
    That is really up to you. This is a copy of your
    answer sheet to the aptitude test from the other day.
[09:11] ---
    A perfect score... so marvelous.
[09:13] ---
    The same exact test has
    been placed right there.
[09:16] ---
    Right here, right now, please try
    to get a perfect score once again.
[09:19] ---
    Huh?
[09:20] ---
    What meaning is there behind that?
[09:22] ---
    There is an accusation
    that you may have cheated on the exam.
[09:26] ---
    If you can get 90% or above, you are innocent.
    You will be deemed guilty if your score is any lower.
[09:30] ---
    This is absurd! I will
    excuse myself right now!
[09:32] ---
    Concerning this case, we have the authorization
    of both the principal and the vice-principal.
[09:37] ---
    If you escape now, you will apparently
    be expelled from the school.
[09:39] ---
    E-Expelled?!
[09:42] ---
    Now, please begin.
[09:51] ---
    Right there lies all of the answers...
[09:54] ---
    I'll possess him and find out!
    That's the only way!

[10:02] ---
    Making such a fool of me!
[10:07] ---
    What in the world has happened?
[10:09] ---
    To me, it only seemed like
    you were tearing that up?
[10:13] ---
    Got him!
[10:17] ---
    Hello there, I'm Tomori, the student
    council president... of another school, though.
[10:22] ---
    So, I was recording you for all this time.
[10:24] ---
    Can you take a look at the
    video I just recorded?
[10:27] ---
    Please take a note of the time.
[10:28] ---
    You were not looking at him
    the moment he ripped the answer sheet.
[10:33] ---
    Yet, you said he ripped it up.
[10:35] ---
    Isn't that a bit strange?
[10:37] ---
    I'll show you others.
[10:39] ---
    You have a special ability
    to possess other people.
[10:44] ---
    Using that, you cheat on every exam.
[10:47] ---
    Isn't that right?
[10:49] ---
    T-That's not true!
    It's a sleeping disease!
[10:52] ---
    I suddenly get tremendously sleepy,
    and can't fight that urge!
[10:55] ---
    You really are a troublesome one.
    I'll show you this now. Here.
[11:00] ---
    A copy of your medical exams.
[11:03] ---
    As far as this goes, such
    a disease doesn't exist.
[11:07] ---
    Now, please solve the problems on the test.
[11:11] ---
    Such a farce! I can't deal with it!
[11:19] ---
    I see... she had foreseen
    that it would even end up this way.
[11:24] ---
    Then, everything from here on is my job.
[11:32] ---
    Run! Right now!
[11:36] ---
    Dammit!
[11:40] ---
    Are you all right?
[11:42] ---
    Y-Yes... I'm fine.
[12:20] ---
    What?
[12:21] ---
    What the hell is going on here?!
[13:20] ---
    You... what the hell did you just do?
[13:23] ---
    Teleportation.
[13:25] ---
    Teleportation?
[13:26] ---
    Yes. Just like it sounds, I teleport instantly
    to move to another location.
[13:30] ---
    But this ability doesn't let me
    conveniently stop exactly where I want.
[13:33] ---
    Thanks to this ability, I don't know
    how many times I've been hospitalized...
[13:37] ---
    What an incomplete ability!
[13:40] ---
    But anyway, what are you
    going to do with me from now on?!
[13:43] ---
    We will have you transfer over to our school.
[13:50] ---
    Transfer?!
[13:51] ---
    Yes. In this world, there are many people
    who possess special powers, not just you.
[13:57] ---
    However, those special skills can be considered
    an illness caught during adolescence,
[14:00] ---
    and will disappear in due time.
[14:02] ---
    Until it goes away, however, please keep commuting
    to our school, the Hoshinoumi Academy.
[14:07] ---
    Huh?!
[14:08] ---
    I already have gotten permission from those
    that have parental authority over you.
[14:12] ---
    Such a story...
[14:13] ---
    ...exists.
[14:14] ---
    However... you seem like you'd be popular
    from just your looks.
[14:18] ---
    Was there also a need to play the role of a genius
    by cheating as much as possible?
[14:22] ---
    That's the real question.
[14:24] ---
    Oh, but thanks to that
    you were able to close the gap
[14:27] ---
    between yourself and the female student
    you were targeting.
[14:29] ---
    Damn you!
[14:42] ---
    What... she disappeared?
[14:45] ---
    That is her ability.
[14:48] ---
    It can't be... an ability
    to become invisible?
[14:52] ---
    No. To me, it only looked
    like her punching you.
[14:57] ---
    Impossible... I was the only one
    that couldn't see her?
[15:00] ---
    Right. Her ability is to hide from
    visual recognition from one target.
[15:05] ---
    Every other human can see her as normal.
[15:09] ---
    Another imperfect ability!
[15:11] ---
    By the way, you will enter
    our student council as well.
[15:15] ---
    Huh?
[15:16] ---
    Your ability is useful,
    so I'd like you to cooperate with us.
[15:20] ---
    For what?
[15:21] ---
    To threaten those that abuse their powers
    for no good, just like you.
[15:26] ---
    That is the kind of existence we are.
[15:32] ---
    I'm home.
[15:34] ---
    Welcome back, Big Brother Yu!
[15:36] ---
    Wait! Wow! What's wrong with your face?
[15:39] ---
    Oh, well, um... it was an
    incident during gym class...
[15:43] ---
    Oh right, there was
    an amazing phone call from our uncle.
[15:47] ---
    Ayu heard that she and Big Brother Yu
[15:49] ---
    will transfer into Hoshinoumi Academy's
    middle- and high-school
[15:51] ---
    as scholarship students!
[15:55] ---
    Is that really true?
[15:57] ---
    Are you serious?
[15:58] ---
    Well... it's true.
[16:00] ---
    The house budget will benefit from this!
[16:03] ---
    Furthermore, the uncle is sending us
    lots of tasty food to celebrate!
[16:07] ---
    But that means
    you have to transfer schools, too.
[16:09] ---
    That means you have to say goodbye
    to your friends - is that all right?
[16:12] ---
    Nowadays we can use smartphones to chat
    while looking at each other's faces,
[16:15] ---
    so it's not going to be all that lonely.
[16:18] ---
    Hoshinoumi Academy
    Executive Office
[16:18] ---
    I see...
[16:22] ---
    Tonight's dinner is... ta-dah!
[16:24] ---
    Congratulations!
[16:25] ---
    Omelet rice, your favorite
    dish, Big Brother Yu!
[16:28] ---
    This again? I said time and again
    that it was only when I was little...

[16:33] ---
    Congrats! Now, let's eat!
[16:38] ---
    So sweet...
[16:40] ---
    Using pizza sauce as the secret ingredient must
    have been fitting for my tongue when I was a child.

[16:46] ---
    How is it? Is it tasty?
[16:48] ---
    Yeah, it's tasty.
[16:50] ---
    Really?
[16:51] ---
    I want to eat Mom's omelet rice
    for the first time in a while...
[16:55] ---
    Mom, huh? Who cares about someone like that.
[17:00] ---
    Are you still upset?
[17:02] ---
    Of course I am... She got divorced,
    and selfishly shoved custody over to our uncle.
[17:07] ---
    Ayu doesn't understand too much of it,
    but would like to see you be forgiving!
[17:11] ---
    We don't have any parents. Our only family
    is you and me, just the two of us.
[17:16] ---
    I see... but Ayu sometimes thinks...
    there was one more family member somewhere...
[17:25] ---
    You and I are the only siblings. Do you see
    someone in your dream or something?
[17:29] ---
    You're right.
[17:31] ---
    It's a weird feeling, as
    if it was really true.
[17:36] ---
    It's totally a dream.
[17:41] ---
    Hey, we're going to be up early tomorrow
    because we're moving, right?
[17:44] ---
    Why don't you get to sleep soon?
[17:46] ---
    Please give me just a tiny
    bit more of your time!
[17:49] ---
    You really love stars, don't you?
[17:52] ---
    You can see way off into the distance
    where people will never reach, you know?
[17:56] ---
    Ayu thinks that is an amazing thing!
[18:00] ---
    You know, if you keep talking only about
    the stars at school, you'll end up getting isolated.
[18:04] ---
    Why is that?
[18:06] ---
    Speaking from experience.
[18:08] ---
    In living my life, a foundation
    is to liven up the conversation
[18:11] ---
    by talking about what was on TV last night
    instead of talk about the stars.
[18:14] ---
    Experience? Foundation?
[18:17] ---
    It's okay if you don't
    understand. Go to sleep soon.
[18:20] ---
    Roger that!
[18:41] ---
    This is an amazingly huge room!
[18:44] ---
    Can Ayu really use it all
    alone with Big Brother Yu?
[18:48] ---
    Yeah...
[18:50] ---
    Thank you for your hard work!
    I may not be much, but allow me to help–
[18:54] ---
    Hey, the moving company guys
    will do it, so you don't have to.
[18:57] ---
    I thought I could be at least
    of some assistance, however...
[19:01] ---
    Don't take their jobs away from them.
[19:03] ---
    Oh! Such a way of thinking
    was something that Ayu didn't have!
[19:09] ---
    Back at that time, what had happened?
[19:12] ---
    That's something I can't say...
[19:15] ---
    Well... I'm going to transfer
    to Hoshinoumi Academy now...
[19:20] ---
    Well, um... I'm sorry
    for all the things that happened.
[19:25] ---
    Until this ability goes away, I can't be authorized
    to travel to an area with no supervision...

[19:31] ---
    Shirayanagi, if you could
    come see me instead, I'd be delighted.
[19:34] ---
    But, that is just too far. At the least,
    can it be once a week, and can we alternate?
[19:40] ---
    Well... I'm sorry about that, too.
    I can't come here anymore on my own.
[19:44] ---
    Why?
[19:46] ---
    I can't say why...
[19:48] ---
    I am forced to not mention anything
    about this case to others.

[19:53] ---
    There's nothing that I can do about it...
[19:56] ---
    I am grateful for what you have done.
    That feeling will never waver.
[20:01] ---
    However, I am not dating you yet.
[20:04] ---
    So for me to chase you
    in a one-sided manner is as if I was a stalker.
[20:09] ---
    Of course, I do feel bad about that.
    However, I can't go see you on my own.
[20:16] ---
    I understand. From now on,
    let us walk our own separate paths.
[20:20] ---
    That means...
[20:21] ---
    I will never forget the feeling I have towards you
    for saving my life as long as I live. That is all.
[20:29] ---
    That can't be...
[20:32] ---
    Thank you very much for saving me.
    I really do appreciate it.
[20:36] ---
    But this is where I bid you farewell.
    I hope you stay well.
[20:44] ---
    I got dumped... me...?
[20:50] ---
    Hello! Excuse me! I've already let myself in!
[20:56] ---
    What is it so suddenly?
[20:58] ---
    It's tough when it's just the two of you, right?
    I came here to help.
[21:02] ---
    Oh, are all of you people
    from the same school as Big Brother Yu?
[21:06] ---
    Yes. We are from the student council.
    I am Takajo, and this is Tomori.
[21:12] ---
    Since it's after school now,
    we thought we should help out a bit.
[21:15] ---
    Unnecessary troubles.
[21:17] ---
    Can we help you out?
[21:19] ---
    Of course, that would help us out a lot!
[21:23] ---
    How cunning...!
[21:25] ---
    Then, we should split up and get things done.
[21:27] ---
    Yes!
[21:30] ---
    Please do!
[21:35] ---
    This must be that delicious thing
[21:37] ---
    that our uncle sent in congratulations
    that Ayumi was talking about!

[21:46] ---
    They're all Kin-san Ramen?!
[21:49] ---
    I'll pretend I never saw this.
[21:52] ---
    Ayumi, can I show you a magic trick?
[21:54] ---
    Oh... that's something I want to see!
[21:57] ---
    Stay there. It will only be an instant.
[22:00] ---
    Yup!
[22:08] ---
    This is amazing!
    This is more amazing than the people on TV!
[22:12] ---
    Were you amused by that?
[22:13] ---
    Yup, yup, yup!
[22:15] ---
    Don't use your ability for play!
    You've knocked Ayumi out of her wits!

[22:19] ---
    If you're going to play,
    I'll have you go home!
[22:21] ---
    Yeah, yeah... your big brother is scary.
[22:24] ---
    And you're helping us, too!
[22:28] ---
    Then, we shall excuse ourselves here.
[22:31] ---
    You're going to go home?
    I'll make dinner so I'd like you to eat that, at least...
[22:35] ---
    We don't have enough dishes for four.
[22:37] ---
    Or so he says.
[22:41] ---
    It's all right. We'll meet again.
[22:45] ---
    Yeah...
[22:52] ---
    Oh, Haro-haro.
[22:55] ---
    So it is a fad after all.
[22:56] ---
    That's right! Yusa Nishimori,
    known as Yusarin. She's so cute!
[23:03] ---
    To think something like this sells...
    that's the sign of the apocalypse.
[23:09] ---
    Ayu's new school is right next to Big Brother Yu's!
    So she wants to go to school together!
[23:15] ---
    They'd think I have a
    sis-com (sister complex).
[23:17] ---
    Sis-com? Is that some kind of a contest?
[23:20] ---
    It isn't.
[23:21] ---
    But still, Hoshinoumi Academy...
    what a wonderful name!
[23:26] ---
    Yeah, it's a name that sounds like one
    that was made just for you...
[23:37] ---
    Hey.
[23:41] ---
    That night, I had a dream. I'm sure it was
    because of Ayumi's farfetched announcement.

[23:52] ---
    But who was that?
