[00:10] yumoto
    I'm going to stop this
    stupid fight between you!
[00:12] hire
    Oh? It's being drawn out that long?
[00:15] hire
    That's great. Just what I wanted.
[00:25] yumoto
    Student Council President!
    Let's talk about this!
[00:28] kusa
    Don't be absurd!
[00:30] kusa
    I have power!
[00:32] kusa
    Power that you lack.
    Power to cleanse the world!
[00:41] gora
    Don't be deceived!
[00:45] gora
    This has all been prearranged!
[00:47] gora
    It's a set-up!
[00:49] yumoto
    Big bro Gora?
[00:50] atsu
    What was set up?
[00:52] gora
    All of it! This guy set up all of it!
[00:55] hire
    Let me go! Let me go, I say!
[00:57] hire
    Just who do you think I am?
[01:00] kusa
    A talking goldfish? It couldn't be...
[01:02] gora
    Now, Hireashi! Confess everything!
[01:07] hire
    I'll talk! I'll talk!
[01:08] hire
    I'll tell them everything. Just don't crush me!
[01:12] gora
    Now, hurry!
[01:13] hire
    Yes, yes, yes!
[01:14] hire
    This is a reality show targeted
    at the whole universe!
[01:18] hire
    The things you say, the things you do,
    every move you make...
[01:22] hire
    All of it, down to the tiniest detail,
    is being broadcast across the universe!
[01:26] all
    Broadcast across the universe?!
[01:28] hire
    They're watching you Earthlings divided
    into two groups and fighting each other!
[01:33] all
    Wh-What did you say?!
[01:35] en
    I never thought I'd have a moment in
    my life when I'd say "What did you say?!"
[01:40] en
    But this is a real
    "What did you say?!" moment.
[01:42] kusa
    Broadcast... across the universe?
[01:44] zun
    Chief Hireashi!
[01:50] yumoto
    Big bro!
[01:52] zun
    Chief Hireashi! Are you all right?
[01:53] hire
    Of course I'm not all right!
    You took too long getting here!
[01:56] zun
    I am very sorry!
[01:58] hire
    Kinosaki-chan! Continue the broadcast!
[02:01] kino
    Okay! This is Kinosaki on the scene!
[02:04] kino
    Now let's have a talk with the leader
    of the Conquest Club, Kusatsu Kinshiro!
[02:09] kino
    How are you feeling right now?
[02:12] kino
    Say a few words to our viewers.
[02:17] kino
    Okay! That was Dark Aurite,
    A.K.A. Kusatsu Kinshiro,
[02:20] kino
    whose expression suggests
    some lingering shock!
[02:24] kusa
    That means...
[02:26] kusa
    Everything I've said and done
[02:28] kusa
    has all been watched?
[02:30] kino
    Yes, that's right!
[02:32] kino
    In addition to your battles,
    there have been hidden cameras set up
[02:36] kino
    in your student council room
    and personal spaces, as well!
[02:39] kino
    It's all being broadcast
    throughout the whole galaxy!
[02:43] kusa
    Throughout the whole galaxy?
[02:45] kino
    Yes! The faint yearning
    for your childhood friend,
[02:48] kino
    the obstinacy, the angry outbursts,
    the unavoidable failures of understanding...
[02:52] kino
    You're a stand-out character!
[02:54] kino
    You're a conversation topic for thousands
    of millions of people across the universe!
[03:00] kusa
    I-It can't be...
[03:01] kino
    It's the tsundere in you.
[03:04] yumoto
    Big bro! Big bro!
[03:05] yumoto
    Speak to me! Don't die!
[03:08] zun
    What are you doing, Caerula Adamas?
[03:10] zun
    Go and defeat the Battle Lovers!
[03:13] kusa
    What's the point in fighting them now?
[03:16] zun
    What was that?
[03:18] kusa
    Now that everything's been brought to light,
[03:22] kusa
    all my talk of order rings completely hollow.
[03:25] zun
    To whom do you think I gave
[03:28] zun
    the power to rule the world?
[03:32] zun
    Tch.
[03:34] hire
    If it's come to this, go to plan B!
[03:36] hire
    Do it, Zun-chan!
[03:37] zun
    Sir!
[03:38] zun
    Zundar Needles, activate!

    Big bro?
[03:45] atsu
    This is...
[03:52] en
    G-Gora-san!
[04:06] yumoto
    B-Big bro Gora!
[04:08] gora
    My name is Wood-Chopper Monster.
[04:11] gora
    I will chop wood, and the world, in two!
[04:15] all
    Wh-What did you say?!
[04:16] en
    Okay, that's already the second
    "What did you say?" of my life.
[04:21] ari
    He became a monster?
[04:23] gero
    So it wasn't our power doing that?
[04:30] yumoto
    Why... Why is my brother Gora...
[04:35] gora
    Chop!
[04:40] yumoto
    Stop it, big bro!
[04:46] io
    He's so powerful...
[04:47] ryuu
    That's Yumoto's big brother for you.
[04:49] atsu
    All that daily wood chopping
    wasn't just for show.
[04:52] en
    And what's with the hatchet?
    That's a bit obsessive.
[04:55] yumoto
    Why are you so good at this, big bro?
[04:58] hire
    He actually noticed! Well done! Well done!
[05:00] yumoto
    Huh? What?
[05:02] hire
    Now it's time for a nostalgic playback of old times!
SIGN    TV Universe
[05:09] hire
    Universal Calendar 12015.
[05:12] hire
    My employer, TV Universe,
    sent me, the skilled Hireashi,
SIGN    Reality Show
SIGN    Can I Destroy the Earth?
[05:18] hire
    to be the director of a reality show:
    Can I Destroy the Earth?
[05:25] hire
    There was a despicable, wicked Earthling.
[05:27] hire
    His name was Hakone Gora.
[05:31] gora
    Chop!
[05:33] gora
    Chop!
[05:34] gora
    Chop!
[05:43] hire
    That man vanquished all the monsters
    we sent, one after another.
[05:48] hire
    He had no consideration for how badly our viewers
[05:51] hire
    wanted to see the Earth conquered and destroyed,
[05:53] hire
    and no ability to read the mood.
    He made all our plans come to nothing.
[05:57] atsu
    Are you saying Yumoto's big brother was
    the previous generation of Battle Lovers?
[06:02] yumoto
    Oh, now that you mention it...
[06:04] yumoto
    My brother would always sharpen
    his hatchet after I went to bed...
[06:08] yumoto
    I saw him go out somewhere
    after that, lots of times.
[06:12] yumoto
    I was too scared to ask
    where he was going, though.
[06:15] io
    That would be pretty scary.
[06:17] ryuu
    Yeah, on a pants-pissing level.
[06:20] hire
    Once the program lost its
    concept, the ratings dwindled.
[06:24] hire
    In the end, it was tragically canceled.
[06:26] hire
    CIDE is the only show I've ever
    directed that got canceled!
[06:30] atsu
    CIDE?
[06:32] en
    I guess that's short for Can I Destroy the Earth?
[06:34] wom
    It's only natural that it was canceled!
[06:36] wom
    I could not allow such
    foolishness and barbarism!
[06:40] wom
    You received numerous complaints from
    the Space Ethics Improvement Organization,
[06:43] wom
    but you always make some vague
    excuse like "just watch it until the end"!
[06:47] en
    Wait, you've known about all this from the start?
[06:51] wom
    I'm just acting in the
    spirit of animal preservation!
[06:54] wom
    I couldn't stand watching the creatures of
    Earth wiped out for someone's entertainment!
[06:59] zun
    We're just giving the masses what they want to see!
[07:03] wom
    What kind of viral marketing is that?
[07:05] wom
    Your selfishness is your undoing!
[07:07] wom
    What about compliance, anyway?
[07:10] hire
    Compliance? Ha! I'm laughing so hard,
    I could brew tea in my navel!
[07:14] wom
    I don't want to hear
    talk of navels from a fish!
[07:16] zun
    Silence! You have a pouch, and that's just gross!
[07:19] wom
    Are you going there?
    Are you really going to go there?
[07:22] zun
    And what if I am?
[07:24] wom
    Then I'll go there, too!
[07:26] wom
    The way you're always twitching your nose?
[07:29] wom
    That really bothers me!
[07:31] zun
    I'm not twitching it!
[07:33] wom
    You are so!
[07:35] hire
    You really are.
[07:36] ---
    What?!
[07:37] en
    Cut it out, you guys.
[07:39] en
    I can't tell if it's cute or disgusting.
[07:42] hire
    Anyway, since CIDE was a failure,
[07:46] hire
    I was exiled to the company
    history compilation office.
[07:49] hire
    Even Aria-chan, the cabaret girl
    from Gotanda Planet, dumped me!
[07:52] hire
    It put me through the wringer!
[07:55] ryuu
    You go to cabaret clubs? Also, those exist?
[08:00] hire
    Oh, really? The numbers are through the roof?
[08:03] hire
    Okay, go at it! Make it look good!
[08:06] gora
    Chop!
[08:12] atsu
    Why did Gora-san...
[08:14] io
    He was standing there quietly all this time.
[08:16] ryuu
    Why did he decide to start moving again now?
[08:18] hire
    That's the kabuki rule!
[08:20] hire
    When the camera's rolling,
    everyone else stops moving.
[08:23] hire
    Until the speaker's done with
    their lines, they must stand quietly.
[08:26] hire
    More precisely, they're incapable of moving!
[08:28] gora
    Chop!
[08:29] gora
    Chop! Chop! Chop!
[08:33] hire
    Excellent!
[08:34] hire
    A former hero, fallen to the dark side.
    He becomes the ultimate enemy,
[08:38] hire
    and now stands in the way of his
    own flesh-and-blood little brother!
[08:41] yumoto
    Big bro, if you were really a hero once,
[08:44] yumoto
    how can you turn into a monster so easily?!
[08:46] yumoto
    Show some mettle, big bro!
[08:56] gora
    I refuse.
[09:03] yumoto
    Stop it, big bro!
[09:04] gora
    Chop!
[09:08] yumoto
    Stop it, I said!
[09:09] kino
    Oh, what a red-hot development!
[09:11] kino
    Whoever wins, we're guaranteed rave reviews!
[09:14] ryuu
    I'm not really excited about
    attacking Yumoto's brother, but...

    This is no time for holding back!

    Big bro! Come to your senses!
[09:35] gora
    I refuse!
[09:45] kino
    Look at that power!
[09:47] kino
    This is the Gora Power that
    drove CIDE to cancellation!
[09:50] ari
    Excuse me.
[09:51] ari
    It's Kinosaki-kun, isn't it?
[09:53] kino
    Yes, that's right.
[09:55] ari
    Are you through interviewing
    our student council president?
[09:58] kino
    Yes, I'm done.

    What's going on here is far more interesting.

    Got it.
[10:04] ari
    Then I have one more question for you.
[10:06] kino
    I'm busy right now. Can't it wait until later?
[10:09] ari
    No, it's a very simple question.
[10:11] ari
    Answer yes or no.
[10:13] ari
    Did you know about their plan from the start?
[10:17] ari
    And that's why you've
    been doing your research?
[10:19] kino
    That's right.
[10:21] ari
    I see.
[10:22] kino
    What is it?
[10:27] ari
    Akoya...

    Why?

    Because even though you
    might not feel the same way,
[11:19] atsu
    I still think of you as a friend.
[11:24] kusa
    At-chan...
[11:37] kusa
    "Cleanse" can also mean to
    make anew, to set things right.
[11:42] kusa
    In that case, perhaps I need to cleanse myself.

    As student council president,
    I couldn't turn a blind eye
[15:45] kusa
    to anyone causing harm to our students. That's all.

    Thanks, Kin-chan.
[15:51] kusa
    Why?! Why are you like this, At-chan?
[15:55] kusa
    You being so nice just lets me be selfish!

    It was the same then!

    You should have gotten angry and
    told me not to take things out on you!

    You didn't do anything!

    Sorry.

    Kinugawa-senpai, at times like this,

    Did you know that nikujaga and stew
    are brothers from different mothers?
[20:27] kusa
    Naturally, stew is superior.
[20:30] atsu
    We're not talking about superior or inferior.
[20:32] gero
    But nikujaga's rather homely, isn't it?
[20:35] io
    No, the broad-mindedness of nikujaga,
[20:38] io
    that you can make it with beef
    or pork, is a thing to be admired.

    I can't go back to space until
    Mr. Tawarayama is revived.
[21:21] atsu
    Huh? What about your scientifically
    advanced medical mechanisms?

    Well, that just means I can cuddle you more!
[21:30] wom
    W-Wait! No, no, no.
