[00:00] ---
    you won't be able to save
    the two in the basement!
[00:08] ---
    Hey, Yu, Ayumi. It's been a while.
[00:16] ---
    Hello.
[00:19] ---
    Um... who are you?
[00:22] ---
    He's our big brother.
[00:25] ---
    There was a reason behind it,
[00:27] ---
    but I had someone delete
    your memories pertaining to me
[00:29] ---
    Really? Why is that?
[00:32] ---
    Yeah.. There was a lot going on.
[00:35] ---
    Seems like it, Big Brother.
[00:40] ---
    Yu, you finally were fully aware of using
    an ability you took via your "plunder".
[00:46] ---
    That's why I had you come
    here with Ayumi.
[00:49] ---
    In either case, I would have ended
    up here... that's convenient.
[00:53] ---
    What do you mean by that?
[00:55] ---
    Big Brother, actually...
[00:58] ---
    So you used my time-leap...
[01:01] ---
    ...that was a job well done.
[01:03] ---
    So, what's going to happen now?
    Can I go back together with you, Big Brother?
[01:07] ---
    More like the reverse. You can
    plunder any ability you want.
[01:11] ---
    You are the strongest
    of all ability wielders.
[01:13] ---
    And, you even have the
    power of time-leap now...
[01:16] ---
    that is too much of a menace
[01:18] ---
    What are you trying to say?
[01:20] ---
    There are syndicates abound
    that would try to use your powers.
[01:24] ---
    I can't let you live life as
    you have been until now.
[01:26] ---
    You have to spend your days here
    until those abilities dissipate.
[01:29] ---
    Here?
[01:30] ---
    Yeah. You may already know,
[01:33] ---
    but this is a research facility
    for the special abilities we created.
[01:37] ---
    In other words,
    this is the safest place in Japan.
[01:43] ---
    Come with me.
[01:50] ---
    Episode 11: Charlotte
[01:59] ---
    My, my, nice of you to come by.
[02:03] ---
    That old man is the leader of the
    research team, Dr. Tsutsumiuchi.
[02:07] ---
    I know...
[02:09] ---
    ...he's the one that saved me back then...
[02:12] ---
    And this is..?
[02:13] ---
    This is a research facility that
    is creating a vaccine to prevent
[02:16] ---
    future outbreaks of special abilities.
[02:18] ---
    Vaccine? Are we all ill?
[02:21] ---
    Exactly.
[02:22] ---
    The special abilities are truly a disease.
[02:25] ---
    So, before particles are spread
    all over Earth again,
[02:28] ---
    we need to vaccinate
    every person in the world.
[02:32] ---
    Particles?
[02:33] ---
    Have you ever heard of a
    long-orbit comet named Charlotte?
[02:37] ---
    A-Ayu knows about it!
[02:39] ---
    Oh, you must really like the stars a lot.
[02:43] ---
    Yes. Star-gazing is my hobby!
[02:46] ---
    I see.
[02:47] ---
    The comet Charlotte approaches
    Earth in 75-year cycles.
[02:52] ---
    And when it does, an unknown
    particle is showered onto Earth.
[02:57] ---
    Those who inhale the particles
[02:59] ---
    generate special powers
[03:01] ---
    when they are most sensitive.
[03:03] ---
    The particles that snuck all the
    way into the cerebral nerves
[03:06] ---
    dig up and awaken a sector that
    is supposed to stay dormant.
[03:10] ---
    And that is the reason behind these powers...
[03:13] ---
    For instance,
[03:14] ---
    roughly 400 years ago we had an
    extremely close encounter,
[03:17] ---
    and many particles showered down.
[03:19] ---
    In Europe, some of those that inhaled the
    particles became witches with special powers.
[03:25] ---
    And, the people who feared the
    abilities conducted a witch hunt,
[03:29] ---
    and tens of thousands of ability
    wielders were slaughtered.
[03:33] ---
    That comet grazed the atmosphere
    again roughly 12 years ago,
[03:37] ---
    and young folk started to wield
    special powers one after another.
[03:42] ---
    Yu, he's talking about us.
[03:45] ---
    So that doesn't happen
    again in the future,
[03:48] ---
    we are making a vaccine.
[03:50] ---
    Production has already begun in Japan.
[03:53] ---
    Then, we can rest assured now.
[03:55] ---
    No, only Japan that I
    control is under protection.
[04:00] ---
    Witch hunts are still happening
    all over the world.
[04:04] ---
    But, that has nothing to do with us...
[04:06] ---
    This story can't possibly be that easy.
[04:10] ---
    The ability-wielders overseas have banded up.
[04:12] ---
    We're in a situation where we don't know
    when they will cause terror in the world.
[04:17] ---
    What about the vaccine?
[04:18] ---
    We can curb the number of infected that way,
[04:20] ---
    but it doesn't do anything for the
    people who already developed their abilities.
[04:23] ---
    Then, all you have to do is
    make a wonder drug to counter it!
[04:26] ---
    Otosaka... you are indeed a sharp one,
    but I guess your little brother isn't so much.
[04:33] ---
    It takes a very long time
    to create a new drug.
[04:37] ---
    We don't know what's going to happen next,
    but I will make sure to protect you both.
[04:45] ---
    All right... but at least I'd like Ayumi to
    regain her memories about you, Big Brother.
[04:51] ---
    It's impossible.
[04:52] ---
    Why? I was able to regain my memories!
[04:55] ---
    We don't know why you were
    the only one that regained memories...
[04:58] ---
    Was there a large factor somewhere that
    caused it, or was it just coincidence?
[05:02] ---
    In either case, as we stand now,
    that's an impossibility.
[05:05] ---
    That can't be...
    That's too sad for Ayumi....
[05:10] ---
    From today, we can make new
    memories as siblings again.
[05:14] ---
    Ayumi.
[05:16] ---
    I'm your oldest brother, Shunsuke.
    I'm blind, but it's nice to meet you.
[05:22] ---
    Then, can I call you Big Brother Shun?
[05:25] ---
    Yeah.
[05:26] ---
    She accepted that real quick!
[05:30] ---
    You won't be able to see your
    school friends for a while,
[05:33] ---
    but these guys are your friends...
[05:35] ---
    as well as ability wielders.
[05:37] ---
    I'm Ayumi Otosaka! Nice to meet you!
[05:40] ---
    Nice to meet you, too.
[05:42] ---
    Nice to meet you. Shichino,
    why don't you walk through a wall for starters?
[05:46] ---
    Sure thing... don't petrify yourself
    from fear by seeing this!
[05:51] ---
    Wow, that's amazing!
[05:54] ---
    The recreation room here is pretty substantial.
    There's lots of fun things here.
[05:59] ---
    What about music? Can I listen to Haro-haro?
[06:02] ---
    Of course.
[06:03] ---
    All right!
[06:05] ---
    I'll be teaching you academics.
[06:07] ---
    Okay!
[06:10] ---
    Thank you very much!
[06:13] ---
    I feel like everyone is keeping
    their distance from just ne...
[06:19] ---
    Wait? Is everyone gone already?
[06:22] ---
    They call the first one the Bunei Invasion,
    and the second one the Koan Invasion.
[06:26] ---
    I see...
[06:29] ---
    Do you have a sister complex?
[06:33] ---
    Well, not... really...
[06:35] ---
    You're fretting.
[06:36] ---
    Your big brother took Ayu away from you.
[06:39] ---
    That's not true...
[06:42] ---
    Then, can you come
    hang out with me a bit?
[06:45] ---
    I want you to play for me.
[06:47] ---
    Play?
[06:58] ---
    All right... got a good hand.
[07:00] ---
    Reach!
[07:01] ---
    Ron.
[07:03] ---
    Double value tiles, little three dragons,
    half-flush, all triplets, three dora tiles.
[07:06] ---
    Sanbaiman as dealer, so 36000 points.
[07:09] ---
    Amazing. This is the first time I've seen
    someone lose all points in the first hand.
[07:12] ---
    You really suck at this.
    Are you really Shunsuke's little brother?
[07:16] ---
    Dammit... let me play one more time!
[07:18] ---
    No!
[07:20] ---
    Found one, so I'm leaving the table...
[07:22] ---
    As always, it's rather sudden.
[07:24] ---
    Well, since I can't choose to go
    look for them it's all too random...
[07:29] ---
    It would be so much easier if I could
    know who wields an ability when...
[07:35] ---
    What did you just find?
[07:37] ---
    I'm talking about an ability
    wielder, of course.
[07:40] ---
    So he didn't have to be
    drenched in water for that!

[07:44] ---
    Which means, you're headed
    to the student council?
[07:46] ---
    Yeah.
[07:46] ---
    Can I come along with you?
[07:48] ---
    Idiot, of course not.
[07:49] ---
    You're the ability wielder that is the least
    able to step outside.
[07:52] ---
    Do you lack self-awareness?
[07:54] ---
    I see... that's how it was...
[07:57] ---
    Tomori... I wonder how she's doing...
[08:00] ---
    Wait, why am I thinking about her?
[08:11] ---
    Please head over to Hoshinoumi Academy.
[08:14] ---
    Furuki, is something the matter?
[08:16] ---
    No... it's fine.
[08:28] ---
    Why didn't you turn the corner?
[08:31] ---
    Furuki?
[08:32] ---
    I'm sorry, Kumagami!
[08:34] ---
    I have to take you to a different location!
[08:38] ---
    My family...
[08:40] ---
    They're threatening my family...
[08:43] ---
    So you had family?
[08:45] ---
    If they found out I had one,
    I have to quit the syndicate!
[08:48] ---
    That is the rule, yes...
[08:50] ---
    I prided myself in being able to help you
    guys as an alum... forgive me.
[08:59] ---
    Sheesh... looks like this is going
    to be a bit troublesome....
[09:07] ---
    Ishihara Mountain Industry
[09:08] ---
    Over here. Follow me.
[09:11] ---
    Sure..
[09:15] ---
    Hey! I brought him here!
[09:18] ---
    Now...
[09:27] ---
    Welcome, mighty one.
[09:28] ---
    "Welcome, mighty one."
[09:30] ---
    A foreigner? Oh, brother.
[09:33] ---
    This is enough, right?
    Give me back my family!
[09:35] ---
    Not yet. There is one more
    thing we need you to do.
[09:38] ---
    We'll contact you later. Now leave.
[09:40] ---
    That's not what you said before!
[09:42] ---
    You do want to meet your family, right?
[09:46] ---
    "You do want to meet your family, right?"
[09:48] ---
    That can't be!
[09:50] ---
    I'm sorry...
[09:52] ---
    It's fine. Furuki, you can
    just think about your family...
[09:56] ---
    I'm sorry!
[09:58] ---
    Make sure he does not die.
[10:23] ---
    Where... is this...?
[10:26] ---
    My head feels woozy...
[10:30] ---
    Looks like they injected
    a truth serum or something...

[10:34] ---
    What are you trying to make me tell you?
[10:36] ---
    Information about every psychic you are
    aware of that you are hiding from us.
[10:41] ---
    Like I'd tell you...
[10:51] ---
    My teeth are gonna be all gone...
    I'm gonna have dentures at this age?
[11:14] ---
    I told them anything and
    everything, didn't I...
[11:24] ---
    I'm sorry, Shunsuke...
[11:40] ---
    Dammit!
[12:02] ---
    Hello?
[12:03] ---
    You are the one who gathered all
    the psychics in this country, yes?

[12:07] ---
    This guy isn't Japanese..?
[12:09] ---
    If so, what?
[12:10] ---
    I had Kumagami tell me who the
    strongest psychic in this country was.

[12:15] ---
    Kumagami did? That means he's
    the victim of an overseas terrorist...

[12:19] ---
    What about Kumagami?
[12:20] ---
    His life is not in danger. However,
    he has no nails nor teeth now.

[12:25] ---
    What the hell...
[12:27] ---
    What do you want?
[12:29] ---
    We would like to have Yu Otosaka.
[12:31] ---
    That'll never happen!
[12:32] ---
    We have kidnapped a psychic
    by the name of Nao Tomori.

[12:35] ---
    We would like him in return
    for both Tomori and Kumagami.

[12:39] ---
    Where at?
[12:40] ---
    Furuki will take you there.
[12:42] ---
    Furuki will?
[12:43] ---
    I would like Yu Otosaka to come by himself.
[12:46] ---
    I have heard about you all
    from Furuki and Kumagami.

[12:49] ---
    This operation has been planned
    from quite a while back.

[12:53] ---
    If the plans diverge,
[12:55] ---
    we will assume you traveled
    to the past to change destinies,

[12:58] ---
    and kill off Furuki's family. See you.
[13:04] ---
    That far...
[13:08] ---
    Phone call, Furuki.
[13:12] ---
    It's you, Otosaka...
[13:14] ---
    Furuki... are you all right?
[13:17] ---
    They threatened me... I'm sorry.
[13:20] ---
    Just as I thought.
[13:22] ---
    How long have they been threatening you?
[13:24] ---
    Back around when we were
    getting ready to build the academy...
[13:28] ---
    This makes it pretty tough...
[13:30] ---
    If I talked, they said
    they would kill my family.

[13:33] ---
    I thought about suicide... but I couldn't
    leave my family behind... so...
[13:39] ---
    That's why all of this happened!
[13:41] ---
    It's an error in my judgment.
[13:43] ---
    There is no need for
    you to torment yourself, Furuki.
[13:46] ---
    I will make sure to rescue your family.
[13:48] ---
    I'm really sorry...
[13:52] ---
    So they've made it out to Japan as well?
[13:54] ---
    However, how did they get Kumagami?
[13:56] ---
    They are threatening Furuki.
[13:59] ---
    It was my mistake. He had a family,
    but I gave tacit consent...
[14:05] ---
    To think the enemy would
    come in from that angle...
[14:07] ---
    Then, what if you had your little
    brother time-leap to before
[14:09] ---
    Furuki started getting threatened?
[14:12] ---
    If he was threatened from before
    the academy was built...
[14:15] ---
    I'm not sure if we can follow
    the same path or not.
[14:18] ---
    Which means, there is a possibility that
    this entire syndicate may not even exist.
[14:22] ---
    The risk is just too big.
[14:24] ---
    Then, how about we have your
    little brother rescue Kumagami first?
[14:27] ---
    If we do that, Furuki's family will be sacrificed...
    they can notice such anomalies.
[14:34] ---
    Then, how about using an ability
    wielder other than your little brother—
[14:37] ---
    They told me Yu needs to go alone.
[14:39] ---
    If we screw up, everyone caught by them
    will fall victim to their hands.
[14:43] ---
    There's nothing we can do, then...
[14:45] ---
    Sounds more like we have a better shot
    if we let the little brother go in by himself.
[14:49] ---
    What?
[14:50] ---
    We're probably against ability wielders,
    so he can plunder their abilities.
[14:53] ---
    Even if he screws up, he can use time-leap
    to redo everything from this point in time.
[14:58] ---
    That way, there won't be any irregularities,
    so they won't notice that he time-leaped!
[15:05] ---
    We have to bet on Yu now, don't we...
[15:13] ---
    So unbecoming... what a sight...
[15:22] ---
    Tomori is held hostage?
[15:24] ---
    Many security guards at
    the dorm were put down.
[15:27] ---
    There is no doubt these are
    pros that came from overseas....
[15:30] ---
    And I'm sure they're armed as well.
[15:31] ---
    You want me to go to a place
    like that... by myself?
[15:34] ---
    You can do it. It's fine!
[15:36] ---
    First off, plunder all the abilities
    of everyone in the area,
[15:39] ---
    and make them drop their weapons.
    You can do that, right?
[15:42] ---
    If it's not a hidden enemy...
[15:44] ---
    The enemy wants you. They
    won't do anything that would kill you.
[15:48] ---
    However, if you get caught, or they put
    Nao or Kumagami in harm's way,
[15:53] ---
    use your time-leap ability to
    come back to this point in time!
[15:57] ---
    We can build a new tactic at that point.
[15:59] ---
    One more thing, make sure
    to never get too excited!
[16:01] ---
    Your collapse power will trigger,
    and your own life will be in danger.
[16:06] ---
    Got that, Yu?
[16:09] ---
    What's with this...
[16:11] ---
    Yu?
[16:12] ---
    What's with all this! There's
    no way I can do something like that!
[16:17] ---
    This isn't a problem that one
    individual can handle on his own!
[16:20] ---
    I was just someone that got
    good grades by unfair means,
[16:22] ---
    nothing more than a fiend of cheating!
[16:23] ---
    I'm a despicable guy that
    has only thought about himself!
[16:27] ---
    I am just a greedy human that wanted
    everyone to see me in a good light!
[16:31] ---
    That's all I am... what can I--
[16:37] ---
    Calm down!
[16:39] ---
    Listen to my heartbeat.
    Concentrate on only that!
[16:48] ---
    Are you calm now?
[16:51] ---
    I'm sorry... I was rushing things too much.
[16:54] ---
    If you feel you're in trouble, time-leap
    back to this point in time.
[16:57] ---
    That's all you need to remember.
[16:59] ---
    We still have a bit of time left.
    Calmly think it over.
[17:07] ---
    However... you seem like you'd be
    popular from just your looks.

[17:10] ---
    Was there also a need to play the role of
    a genius by cheating as much as possible?

[17:13] ---
    *That's the real question.
[17:15] ---
    It really was a horrible start for us...
[17:17] ---
    To do some investigation, of course.
[17:19] ---
    But my dream is to film a ZHIEND music video.
[17:22] ---
    That is why I decided that I'll stick it out with you,
    until you have risen back up to normal.

[17:28] ---
    It was the same thing with Ayumi...
    it's too late to realize something after losing it...
[17:35] ---
    I will make sure to rescue Tomori.
[17:38] ---
    I've made up my mind.
[17:39] ---
    You've accepted your fate?
[17:41] ---
    Yeah.
[17:42] ---
    We'll follow you in a bit. You are not alone.
[17:46] ---
    If something happens, we'll
    rescue you right away.
[17:48] ---
    Yeah...
[17:52] ---
    So are you Furuki?
[17:54] ---
    Yeah.
[17:56] ---
    Get in.
[17:57] ---
    Ishihara Mountain Industry
[18:05] ---
    I brought him here!
[18:07] ---
    People in the field of vision...
[18:09] ---
    Just these two.
[18:11] ---
    But they're adults... and
    not ability wielders.

[18:14] ---
    Then, as promised, I will
    release your family to you.
[18:18] ---
    Hey, take this.
[18:22] ---
    That's the key to the condo.
    The location is written on the tag.
[18:29] ---
    I'm sorry... this was the
    only thing I could do...
[18:36] ---
    Let's do this...
[18:51] ---
    They're not armed..?
[18:52] ---
    Are you satisfied now?
[18:55] ---
    Where's Tomori?
[18:56] ---
    Right below us... both of
    them are in the basement.
[18:59] ---
    Release both of them right away!
[19:17] ---
    Not good... I must time-leap...
[19:23] ---
    It's pointless!
[19:25] ---
    We made you unable to use
    psychic powers to travel to the past.
[19:28] ---
    So it is indeed impossible with one eye.
[19:33] ---
    If you use your psychic powers of collapse,
    you won't be able to save the two in the basement!
[19:38] ---
    Dammit!
[19:55] ---
    - Hurry, hurry, hurry!
[19:55] ---
    - Shit! That wasn't necessary!
[20:07] ---
    This isn't good! There is a
    collapse happening right now!
[20:10] ---
    He's not using his time-leap?
[20:12] ---
    Looks it... what should we do?
[20:22] ---
    Impossible...
[20:24] ---
    Is this time to be just standing around?
[20:25] ---
    We have to go save them!
[20:26] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[20:30] ---
    How does it look?
[20:32] ---
    It looks hopeless...
[20:34] ---
    But we still have to search for them!
[20:38] ---
    Nao!
[20:40] ---
    Kumagami! Yu!
[20:42] ---
    Shunsuke!
[20:44] ---
    Are those the main culprits?
[20:46] ---
    Medoki, please.
[20:48] ---
    Sure.
[20:51] ---
    Found the little brother!
[20:54] ---
    He blocked it in the nick
    of time with telekinesis...
[20:57] ---
    It's all right. He's still alive. However...
[21:00] ---
    They ruined one eye.
[21:02] ---
    So that's why he couldn't leap...
[21:05] ---
    Please take him to somewhere safe!
[21:07] ---
    Sure.
[21:09] ---
    Don't tell me that you alone were all right
[21:11] ---
    because of your ability, but the
    other two are already dead...
[21:15] ---
    Where are you... Kumagami... Nao...
[21:18] ---
    Found them! Both of them are here!
[21:25] ---
    Over here!
[21:28] ---
    Kumagami!
[21:30] ---
    Kumagami, where are you?
    Answer me, Kumagami!
[21:33] ---
    Kuma—
[21:42] ---
    Kumagami?
[21:44] ---
    Is that you... Shunsuke?
[21:49] ---
    This is enough... right?
[21:51] ---
    Kumagami! You can't!
[21:54] ---
    I won't allow it! You have to
    continue to be at my side!
[21:58] ---
    That is asking for the impossible...
[22:02] ---
    You can't! I won't allow it!
[22:04] ---
    Kumagami, don't go off on
    your own! Don't go away!
[22:09] ---
    Shunsuke...
[22:11] ---
    So, the nickname "Pooh"...
    was a lie after all...?
[22:19] ---
    Kumagami?
[22:21] ---
    Kumagami...
[22:24] ---**
    KUMAGAMI!
