    Plastic Surgery
    Yu Otosaka, 15 yr old male
    attending doctor: Dr. Koike
[00:31] ---
    It hurts...
[00:33] ---
    Of course it hurts.
    It's only been two days since the surgery.
[00:37] ---
    Two days?
[00:38] ---
    That's right.
[00:39] ---
    Why can't I move?
[00:41] ---
    Like I know. Ask the doctor.
[02:15] ---
    Episode 12: Promise
[02:18] ---
    Yu, are you all right?
[02:20] ---
    Medoki?
[02:21] ---
    I'm glad.
[02:22] ---
    Just like we planned,
    we were able to prevent a collapse.
[02:25] ---
    You don't call this an operation.
    This is just dealing with it.
[02:28] ---
    You just said dealing with it,
    but after the shot you didn't do anything.
[02:31] ---
    I'm not a doctor.
[02:33] ---
    Um, what happened,
    and how did I end up like this?
[02:39] ---
    Tomori! Is Tomori all right?
[02:42] ---
    She's fine. She's also here in this hospital.
[02:45] ---
    Thanks to Kumagami.
[02:47] ---
    I see.
[02:49] ---
    I'm glad.
[02:51] ---
    And what about Kumagami?
[02:56] ---
    It can't be...
[03:00] ---
    It was all while you were busy saving
    yourself with your own ability!
[03:03] ---
    How much longer
    are you going to complain?
[03:05] ---
    In the first place, you were the one that said
    we should bet on his ability to time-leap!
[03:08] ---
    That can't be. Kumagami...
[03:09] ---
    - Did you forget that?
    - Now, now...
[03:13] ---
    Those guys concluded
    that they didn't need your ability of time-leap.
[03:17] ---
    Even against the ability to collapse,
[03:19] ---
    they tried to hold it back
    using hostages as their shields.
[03:22] ---
    This is the result of miscalculations
    on both ends...
[03:25] ---
    It's my fault.
[03:26] ---
    Don't blame yourself.
[03:30] ---
    Hey...
[03:32] ---
    Are things like this
    going to keep continuing from now on?
[03:35] ---
    At the least, we had Maedomari
    erase the memories of the culpits.
[03:41] ---
    But, we don't know
    when you are going to be targeted next.
[03:45] ---
    All in all, I'm glad
    you woke up safe and sound.
[03:47] ---
    All of us were taking turns
    keeping watch over you.
[03:50] ---
    Um... It's time.
[03:52] ---
    Right.
[03:54] ---
    Wait. I still have something I want to ask.
[03:56] ---
    What is it?
[03:58] ---
    Why isn't my big brother here?
[03:59] ---
    Hey! Let me punch him!
[04:01] ---
    No, no, you need to calm down!
[04:03] ---
    What does all this mean?
[04:05] ---
    It means that for your big brother,
    Kumagami was his best friend.
[04:22] ---
    Yes, come in.
[04:25] ---
    It's Ayu.
[04:26] ---
    Oh, Ayumi! It's been a while!
[04:29] ---
    Is it all right for you...?
[04:31] ---
    Yeah, as long as I stay still.
[04:33] ---
    But they said you won't be able to see
    from your right eye ever again.
[04:36] ---
    Apparently the accident was so big,
    it should have killed me.
[04:40] ---
    I have to be thankful just being alive.
[04:43] ---
    But...
[04:44] ---
    With rehabilitation, they said I could live
    a life that is almost the same as before.
[04:49] ---
    It would be nice if that's the case.
[04:51] ---
    How is life at the facility?
[04:53] ---
    Everyone is nice to me, so it is all right.
[04:56] ---
    But Big Brother Shun
    seems to be very disillusioned,
[05:00] ---
    so it makes me worried.
[05:04] ---
    Big Brother is...?
[05:06] ---
    I have lost Ayumi
    right in front of my eyes once before.

[05:09] ---
    For Big Brother, Kumagami was
    someone similar in standing.

[05:14] ---
    If I had died in this incident,
    what would have happened to Ayumi?

[05:23] ---
    Yes, come in.
[05:26] ---
    It has been a while!
[05:27] ---
    Takajo... It really does feel like
    it's been quite a while.
[05:31] ---
    You look like you're in a lot more pain
    than I had imagined!
[05:35] ---
    What a sight, huh?
[05:36] ---
    For Otosaka in such a condition,
    I have brought this in for you.
[05:41] ---
    What is this?
[05:43] ---
    It's a lunch box with a keep-warm function.
    And the contents are!
[05:53] ---
    This scent. It can't be!
[05:56] ---
    That's right! This is a memory we share,
    the beef tongue curry!
[06:01] ---
    To think I would be reunited
    with it here of all places!
[06:03] ---
    I shall feed it to you!
[06:04] ---
    Please do!
[06:05] ---
    Say aah!
[06:11] ---
    So tasty!
[06:13] ---
    This reminds me of the days back in school.
[06:14] ---
    Indeed! This truly is the taste
    of our adolescence!
[06:18] ---
    Another bite, please!
[06:19] ---
    There still is plenty left,
    so eat up until you are bored of it!
[06:30] ---
    Hey, how is Tomori doing?
[06:32] ---
    Her injuries are a lot less severe than you,
    so she will be discharged soon.
[06:36] ---
    That's good.
[06:39] ---
    It looks like you've had
    all sorts of hardships.
[06:41] ---
    Well, yeah.
[06:44] ---
    Please hurry back to the student
    council together with Tomori.
[06:48] ---
    The current student council where I'm alone
    with Yusarin is wonderful, but still.
[06:55] ---
    Yes, come in.
[06:57] ---
    I came to visit—
[07:00] ---
    It's you, Kurobane. Yo.
[07:03] ---
    Um, I made this for you...
[07:06] ---
    Let's see, can it be some cream stew?
[07:09] ---
    This is amazing. You're correct!
[07:13] ---
    Yusarin's handmade cream stew is cherished
    in the Kurobane house as a source of energy!
[07:20] ---
    It works well for illness and injuries, too!
[07:23] ---
    So that's why she brought me
    handmade cream stew that day.

[07:28] ---
    Thanks.
[07:29] ---
    Yup! Now, say aah.
[07:38] ---
    How is it?
[07:40] ---
    It's tasty! I feel like
    I got a bit more energy now.
[07:44] ---
    I'm so glad!
[07:46] ---
    I can never show Takajo a scene like this...
[07:52] ---
    Misa, you there?
[07:58] ---
    What do you want from a dead person?
[08:00] ---
    Hey, where do people go once they die?
[08:04] ---
    Who knows? I'm still here.
[08:07] ---
    My existence is like a balloon
    that Yusa is holding.
[08:11] ---
    When Yusa's ability is gone,
    the balloon will easily fly off somewhere.
[08:17] ---
    I see.
[08:19] ---
    Then, shouldn't you go visit
    the people you care about while you can?
[08:23] ---
    What's this all of a sudden?
[08:25] ---
    I experienced something
    that put me near death.
[08:29] ---
    You can be gone at any point in time.
[08:32] ---
    You should go visit them while you still can.
[08:34] ---
    That's understandable
    as I have already died once, but...
[08:41] ---
    Come to think, I used to eat that a lot.
[08:44] ---
    It used to be our mom's best dish,
    but Yusa copied her and made it often.
[08:50] ---
    That's just like my family.
[08:52] ---
    Unlike Yusa, I made my parents unhappy.
[08:55] ---
    Though, you could say dying
    was the worst way to be a bad daughter...
[08:59] ---
    Then, go see your parents
    before that ability is gone.
[09:05] ---
    I'll take that suggestion into consideration.
[09:09] ---
    Was I asleep again?
[09:11] ---
    No, it's fine.
[09:13] ---
    I have a question. What do your parents do?
[09:17] ---
    Oh, yes, they make soba noodles
    deep in the mountains in Nagano and serve them.
[09:21] ---
    I see. Then, I suggest you go
    visit them sometime soon.
[09:25] ---
    Huh?
[09:26] ---
    No, you don't have any time left!
    You should go immediately!
[09:29] ---
    S-Sure! I'll talk it out with my manager!
[09:39] ---
    This indeed requires a
    bit of getting used to.

[09:42] ---
    South 503
    Nao Tomori
[09:50] ---
    Fairly Close to Last Supper,
    "Fair Supper" for short!

[09:54] ---
    This is a show where celebrities introduce viewers
    to their favorite gourmet food.

[09:56] ---
    She had a show like this
    that she made regular appearances in?
[09:58] ---
    Which wouldn't be their last supper,
    but a supper fairly close to it!

[10:02] ---
    Today, surprisingly enough,
    I'll be introducing the Fair Supper for me, Yusarin!

[10:08] ---
    The restaurant is over there!
[10:09] ---
    Actually, this is a soba restaurant
    that Yusarin's parents run.

[10:12] ---
    She used her work
    to go see her parents, huh... Pretty good.

[10:14] ---
    This is the first time Yusarin has seen her folks
    in a while, and she seems very happy about it.

[10:20] ---
    This is the hand-made soba
    and wild greens tempura set meal!

[10:24] ---
    First, I'll have some of the soba!
[10:27] ---
    Dunking it into the dipping sauce
    with lots of condiments!

[10:34] ---
    So tasty!
[10:37] ---
    Next up, I'll have some mugwort tempura!
[10:43] ---
    This is tasty too!
[10:45] ---
    With such a lack of vocabulary, I'm surprised
    you managed to become a food show host.

[10:50] ---
    But, to be honest, it tastes very ordinary.
[10:54] ---
    So ordinary that you can buy something similar
    to eat at a convenience store.

[10:58] ---
    Misa?
[10:59] ---
    What are you suddenly saying?
[11:02] ---
    However, the love of my parents.
[11:04] ---
    That is the secret ingredient
    to make this an exquisite meal.
[11:11] ---
    That is why it is this tasty.
    It is very delicious.
[11:21] ---
    Thank you for this meal.
[11:25] ---
    I'm sorry.
[11:26] ---
    You just reminded me
    of Misa just now.
[11:28] ---
    Yeah, she was a delinquent with a bad mouth.
[11:33] ---
    But she truly was a good girl.
[11:35] ---
    That was a good way of repaying your parents.
[11:42] ---
    Yes, come in.
[11:44] ---
    Good morning!
[11:46] ---
    Yeah. Morning.
[11:49] ---
    Ta-dah!
[11:51] ---
    Happy birthday!
[11:52] ---
    16 years congrats <3
[11:55] ---
    Today is your 16th birthday, Big Brother Yu!
[12:00] ---
    Was it?
[12:01] ---
    Ayu here would never forget!
[12:04] ---
    So, I used all of my skills
    for the first time in a while!
[12:08] ---
    Congrats
[12:10] ---
    Good things will come <3
[12:13] ---
    Um... So will you eat it?
[12:16] ---
    Yeah! Of course!
[12:19] ---
    Then, please open your mouth.
[12:21] ---
    I can eat it by myself.
[12:23] ---
    I can't allow someone rehabilitating
    to overexert themself.
[12:35] ---
    It's sweet, but it's tasty.
[12:37] ---
    Here.
[12:39] ---
    It's the same flavor.
[12:43] ---
    Maybe this is because of that secret ingredient
    that Misa was talking about.

[12:47] ---
    How is it?
[12:48] ---
    Tasty!
[12:49] ---
    All right!
[12:50] ---
    Now, next!
[12:51] ---
    Yeah, tasty!
[12:52] ---
    Now, next, next!
[12:53] ---
    To be able to only give an impression like this.
    I'm not one to criticize others.

[12:53] ---
    Tasty, tasty!
[13:04] ---
    Grats on getting all better.
[13:06] ---
    Though I'm not fully well yet.
[13:08] ---
    There is a favor I want to ask you.
[13:16] ---
    Big Brother, I hear you've been
    here for all this time.
[13:21] ---
    Please say something.
[13:24] ---
    This hospital is all right.
    You won't have to deal with the police here.
[13:28] ---
    More than that—
[13:30] ---
    He's just like how I was back then.
[13:34] ---
    The terrorists are all acting up overseas,
[13:37] ---
    and Japan will become involved
    in their activities soon.
[13:40] ---
    Kumagami is no longer here, either.
[13:43] ---
    What will happen to us from now on?
[13:58] ---
    It's been a while.
[14:01] ---
    Tomori?
[14:02] ---
    What? Why are you so surprised?
[14:04] ---
    W-Well... It was rather sudden.
[14:07] ---
    I was able to be discharged
    from the hospital a bit earlier,
[14:10] ---
    so I thought I'd have a chat with you.
[14:13] ---
    Did you hear anything from your big brother?
[14:16] ---
    He said that Japan will soon be involved
    in the activities of overseas terrorists.
[14:19] ---
    I see...
[14:22] ---
    Big Brother has all his life knocked out of him.
    He seems like a different person...
[14:26] ---
    Dangerous people may keep showing up
    in the future, coming after me.
[14:30] ---
    I don't want to lose anyone,
    or make anyone miserable ever again...
[14:35] ---
    If there is something I could do with my powers,
    I'd like to do. But I don't know how.
[14:41] ---
    Tomori... What should I do?
[14:51] ---
    There is one way.
[14:54] ---
    What is it? Tell me!
[14:57] ---
    Your big brother's research facility
    has already ceated a vaccine
[14:59] ---
    to prevent creation of ability-wielders
    the next time the comet swings by, right?
[15:05] ---
    Yeah.
[15:06] ---
    Then, everything will end if you loot
    every ability that exists in this world today.
[15:11] ---
    As well as the abilities
    that will be sprouting from now on.
[15:15] ---
    Of course, this has risks as well.
[15:17] ---
    What will happen to you after gaining thousands,
    even tens of thousands, of special abilities.
[15:22] ---
    What will happen?
[15:23] ---
    You might turn into a monster that can
    potentially annihilate the entire human race.
[15:28] ---
    And even then, will you be able to
    stay sane and hold yourself back?
[15:33] ---
    Bluntly put, it would be a feat of strength.
[15:35] ---
    But, it is something that only you can do.
[15:38] ---
    That is the only method that I can think of
    that can save all of the ability-wielders.
[15:46] ---
    To be honest, I wasn't planning
    on having this talk with you.
[15:50] ---
    However, you came back from the future
    in order to save Ayumi,
[15:55] ---
    and you came to rescue me and Kumagami.
[15:58] ---
    I had thought you were merely
    a fiend of cheating on tests,
[16:01] ---
    but who you are now is
    someone I can believe in.
[16:04] ---
    Your opinion of me has
    changed so drastically.
[16:06] ---
    Well, this is way too reckless for it to be
    one of my tactics. Please forget I said that.
[16:14] ---
    Then, I will leave you with that
    for today. Please take care.
[16:20] ---
    Hold on.
[16:24] ---
    I'll try it.
[16:25] ---
    No, no, it's pretty reckless.
[16:26] ---
    I'm serious. I owe you one.
[16:30] ---
    And if you're saying that this
    is the only way, then I'll do this.
[16:32] ---
    Your motive is a bit weak.
[16:34] ---
    But, something like what happened
    may happen again.
[16:39] ---
    This time, I want to be the one
    that saves you. That's why.
[16:43] ---
    Why?
[16:45] ---
    Because I love you.
[16:47] ---
    What's that? A romance or something?
[16:50] ---
    That's right, romance.
[16:52] ---
    You say that with such a straight face.
[16:54] ---
    I don't think there was ever a time
    for you to think favorably of me.
[16:58] ---
    I've said this before in a different world,
[17:00] ---
    I threw myself into despair
    and kept falling into an abyss.
[17:03] ---
    You were there next to me,
    watching over me the whole time.
[17:05] ---
    This is just a guess, but wasn't that
    my way of taking responsibility?
[17:11] ---
    But that still saved me.
[17:15] ---
    So, how do you trip up from there
    for it to evolve into romance?
[17:19] ---
    I cannot comprehend at all.
[17:20] ---
    Like you need reasoning to fall in love!
[17:22] ---
    What? You're the one that
    used it as a reason!
[17:28] ---
    See, our compatibility
    is absolutely the worst.
[17:31] ---
    But I still love you.
[17:33] ---
    My, what a strange one.
[17:35] ---
    Say whatever you like.
[17:40] ---
    I'll say it. "I'll be waiting."
[17:44] ---
    For what?
[17:45] ---
    For when I'll see you once again,
    after you save every single ability-wielder.
[17:49] ---
    And then, we can become lovers.
[17:54] ---
    Aren't you overestimating
    my abilities just a bit?
[17:56] ---
    That is precisely why.
[17:58] ---
    If you really pull this off, I am sure to
    unconditionally find Yu Otosaka dear to me.
[18:05] ---
    That sounds really good.
[18:06] ---
    Has that increased your motivation?
[18:08] ---
    Yeah. Rather suddenly.
[18:10] ---
    Then promise me that you'll come back.
    We shall meet again. For sure.
[18:18] ---
    Yeah. I'll make sure to come back.
[18:21] ---
    If you lie, cut off the tip
    of a finger! Pinky promise!
[18:27] ---
    That's a scary promise.
[18:29] ---
    I felt it was better than swallowing
    a thousand needles.
[18:31] ---
    Definitely.
[18:32] ---
    Yep.
[18:34] ---
    Then, start with me.
[18:36] ---
    You're going to loot every
    single ability, right?
[18:39] ---
    I see. What I'm about to do...
[18:43] ---
    This is exactly what it entails.
[18:44] ---
    Yes. Go ahead.
[18:46] ---
    I'm sorry.
[18:47] ---
    There's no need to apologize.
    This will return me to a proper human.
[19:06] ---
    Thank you very much.
[19:10] ---
    Big Brother, I want you to listen
    to what I have to say.
[19:13] ---
    I will go plunder the ability of every wielder
    all over the world, and save them.
[19:17] ---
    That's impossible. Don't bother.
[19:20] ---
    But, I'm the strongest
    of all ability-wielders, right?
[19:23] ---
    I don't want to put Kumagami's life to waste!
[19:25] ---
    You can say the same thing for me!
[19:28] ---
    Dammit! Dammit!
[19:31] ---
    How he saved me so much by being at my side!
[19:34] ---
    But I didn't even get
    to say thanks to him in the end!
[19:38] ---
    That's why I'm going to go.
[19:41] ---
    So that people important to me
    will no longer suffer misfortune.
[19:45] ---
    That feeling is the same for you
    after losing Kumagami, right Big Brother?
[19:50] ---
    Are you serious about this?
[19:52] ---
    Of course. I've already
    taken Tomori's ability.
[19:56] ---
    Taken?
[19:58] ---
    It has already begun. I'm not turning back.

[20:02] ---
    That's some determination.
[20:04] ---
    But, how are you going
    to search for ability-wielders?
[20:08] ---
    Someone close to the syndicate's leader
    must have an ability similar to Kumagami's.
[20:13] ---
    Otherwise, they can't possibly gather that many
    ability-wielders in such a short time.
[20:18] ---
    Yu, Fly overseas. Leave Japan to us.
[20:22] ---
    We lost Kumagami, but we are still a big syndicate
    that unifies the ability-wielders.
[20:27] ---
    We'll hold them down
    until their abilities are gone.
[20:30] ---
    If we can't at least do that much,
    we can't possibly look him in the eye again.
[20:34] ---
    Yu, you were 16 right now, right?
[20:38] ---
    You don't have much time left.
[20:39] ---
    I'm counting on you to do this
    before you lose your ability.
[20:42] ---
    Yeah.
[20:47] ---
    Otosaka.
[20:49] ---
    Huh? What's wrong?
[20:51] ---
    I heard the story from Tomori.
[20:53] ---
    Take our powers, too.
    It might be of help to you, even by a little bit.
[20:58] ---
    Take my little sister's too.
[21:00] ---
    That means... In other
    words, you no longer...
[21:02] ---
    Yeah, that's what it means.
    This is a pretty sensible spot for me to fade out.
[21:09] ---
    Come on, what are we to do
    if you're going to hesitate?
[21:12] ---
    That's right, Otosaka. Come on, go ahead.
[21:18] ---
    All right. I'll take the
    abilities from you three.
[21:20] ---
    Okay.
[21:22] ---
    See ya.
[21:26] ---
    Right.
[21:30] ---
    Um, did something happen..?
[21:33] ---
    Yusa... Actually, I have a letter
    your big sister entrusted us with.
[21:40] ---
    To Yusa
[21:40] ---
    Dear Yusa, it's been fun.
[21:43] ---
    It was fun hanging out with
    those guys from the student council.
[21:47] ---
    I felt that I wanted to be with you forever.
[21:50] ---
    But, the one thing that
    was hard for me, Yusa...
[21:54] ---
    ...was the fact that I wanted to be together
    with you all the time,

[21:56] ---
    but we ended up
    missing each other at all times.

[21:58] ---
    I love you more than anything.
[22:01] ---
    And now, a dead person will act
    like a dead person, and bid farewell now.

[22:06] ---
    From Misa
[22:09] ---
    My big sister was always together
    with all of you, wasn't she.
[22:14] ---
    Yeah. We had a lot of fun, too.
[22:17] ---
    Indeed.
[22:17] ---
    To Yusa
[22:19] ---
    If that's the case... I'm glad.
[22:22] ---
    Otosaka, please make sure to come back.
[22:25] ---
    Yeah.
[22:26] ---
    After all, we're friends
    who spent high school life together,
[22:29] ---
    despite all of us suffering
    from a common illness.
[22:35] ---
    Right.
[22:36] ---
    Yup!
[22:52] ---
    I've been waiting for you.
    Please take this with you.
[22:56] ---
    This is about all I can do now.
[22:59] ---
    What is it?
[23:05] ---
    If you speak looking at that,
    you can probably get by, even if minimally.
[23:09] ---
    You made this in one night?
[23:11] ---
    I know what your
    standardized test scores are like.
[23:15] ---
    Yeah, after all,
    I'm just a fiend of cheating on tests.
[23:18] ---
    Then, in return.
    I want you to hold onto this for me.
[23:23] ---
    All right, understood.
    I will hold onto this for a while.
[23:31] ---
    I feel uneasy. Everything is so uncertain.
[23:34] ---
    But, I have to do this.
    Because I am the only one that can do this...

[23:39] ---
    Well, I'll be on my way now.
[23:41] ---
    Yes. Please take care during your trip.
