[00:04] ---
    I see!
[00:08] ---
    Your class is that fun and cheerful.
[00:12] ---
    It is!
[00:14] ---
    "Class Rep Inauguration Party"
[00:14] ---
    Instructor Yukizome is
    such a wonderful person.
[00:18] ---
    Our class rep, Nanami, too.
[00:20] ---
    She works so hard for all of us.
[00:25] ---
    Hmm...
[00:27] ---
    I get it, more or less!
[00:31] ---
    If you have such a great class,
[00:33] ---
    it isn't good to be skipping school.
[00:37] ---
    Leave me alone.
[00:38] ---
    What about you, Enoshima?
[00:40] ---
    Why are you doing a jigsaw puzzle?
[00:42] ---
    Oh, this?
[00:45] ---
    I really like this sort of stuff, you know.
[00:49] ---
    I mean, when the order...
[00:53] ---
    ...you spent so long building is
    ultimately swallowed by chaos!
[01:05] ---
    When that happens,
[01:07] ---
    it's so full of despair, don't you think?
[03:10] ---
    Some school of hope this is!
[03:12] ---
    Our money doesn't grow on trees!
[03:15] ---
    This is a scam!
[03:19] ---
    This is the biggest scandal
    in school history.
[03:22] ---
    Who'd have thought that could
    happen to the student council.
[03:26] ---
    The videos of suspected human
    experimentation are also spreading.
[03:30] ---
    At this rate...
[03:32] ---
    The government might get involved.
[03:35] ---
    We must end this quickly.
[03:43] ---
    It really is strange.
[03:45] ---
    Tsumiki's behavior isn't normal.
[03:48] ---
    Did Enoshima do something to her?
[03:51] ---
    What in the world is she trying to do?
[03:55] ---
    "Movie Production" "Key Animation"
    "ZV (Test)" "Retakes Materials"
[03:56] ---
    What's this file?
[04:01] ---
    "ZV (Test)"
[04:05] ---
    "ZV (Test)"
[04:28] ---
    Wh-What?
[04:30] ---
    What the hell is this?
[04:36] ---
    People are killing each other...
[04:48] ---
    Those aren't special effects or CG.
[04:51] ---
    People are really dying!
[04:54] ---
    Hmm?
[04:55] ---
    You saw it, huh?
[04:59] ---
    You can't do that!
[05:02] ---
    She just started making it...
[05:06] ---
    E-Enoshima... is making that?
[05:09] ---
    That's right.
[05:11] ---
    Made by Enoshima...
[05:14] ---
    Straight from the production center,
[05:16] ---
    it's a fresh mutual killing video.
[05:21] ---
    Mutual killing?
[05:23] ---
    Yes!
[05:25] ---
    Everyone on the student council is dead!
[05:32] ---
    Why?
[05:34] ---
    Why is she making a video like that?!
[05:37] ---
    Why would she do such a thing?
[05:40] ---
    That's...
[05:52] ---
    What are you hiding?
[05:52] ---
    We know what's up!
[05:53] ---
    Explain these human experiments!
[05:53] ---
    Weren't you going to develop our talents?
[05:55] ---
    Admit us to the Main Course, too!
[05:57] ---
    Give the Reserve Course the same lessons!
[05:58] ---
    Never forgive the outrageous school fees!
[05:58] ---
    We want an equal future!
[06:01] ---
    We'll force our way in!
[06:03] ---
    Make them hold exams to
    enter the Main Course!
[06:06] ---
    Quit your whining!
[06:08] ---
    After paying for admission,
[06:10] ---
    don't start talking about talent now!
[06:21] ---
    They got in again?
[06:24] ---
    The Reserve Course protests
    keep getting bigger.
[06:28] ---
    You can't call that a protest.
[06:31] ---
    In this school, which is our nation's hope,
[06:34] ---
    no student would demonstrate
    against the system.
[06:38] ---
    So that is a parade.
[06:40] ---
    What the hell? What kind of logic is that?
[06:44] ---
    It is not my personal opinion.
[06:46] ---
    That is the way the faculty explained it.
[06:49] ---
    Tsk, some parade.
[06:51] ---
    I don't like it!
[06:53] ---
    Forget about that.
[06:55] ---
    Did Tsumiki not come to school again today?
[06:57] ---
    Maybe that pukey pig ran off
    because the protests scared her...
[07:02] ---
    But her stuff was still in her dorm room.
[07:07] ---
    I'm concerned.
[07:11] ---
    Class!
[07:12] ---
    Don't just stare out the windows!
[07:14] ---
    You should look toward the shining future.
[07:17] ---
    Instructor, are we really gonna be okay?
[07:21] ---
    Ibuki is scared...
[07:23] ---
    It'll be fine!
[07:24] ---
    But to be safe, don't go
    outside during the day.
[07:27] ---
    Huh? Will this really be okay?
[07:30] ---
    We shall have to leave it to security.
[07:33] ---
    Instructor, could Hinata have
    been caught in the protests?
[07:39] ---
    I'm sorry, I don't know about
    the Reserve Course right now.
[07:44] ---
    I see.
[07:52] ---
    Hey, help us out...
[07:56] ---
    No!
[07:57] ---
    We can't do this!
[07:59] ---
    Oh, we can't do this?
[08:02] ---
    What can't we do?
[08:05] ---
    Do you mean "that"?
[08:09] ---
    Or...
[08:11] ---
    Do you mean "this" --?
[08:13] ---
    Hey!
[08:15] ---
    Just because I'm away, don't
    act like a pig in heat!
[08:22] ---
    You got mad at me!
[08:25] ---
    F-For a lowly sow like me...
[08:28] ---
    ...you got mad!
[08:33] ---
    Thank you so much...
[08:42] ---
    Aw, this is no good.
[08:46] ---
    You really were the one
    who drove Tsumiki insane?
[08:50] ---
    Well, then,
[08:52] ---
    allow me to give a presentation
    on our current project.
[08:58] ---
    "Mutual Killing Video Why
    Mitarai Should Help With It"
[09:01] ---
    As you have inferred, the mutual
    killing video you watched
[09:05] ---
    is the reason Tsumiki ended up this way.
[09:08] ---
    However, in order to reach my objective,
[09:12] ---
    this is insufficient.
[09:15] ---
    My lack of brainwashing ability is the cause.
[09:18] ---
    However,
[09:20] ---
    by assigning you to this project,
[09:23] ---
    "Mitarai's Brainwashing Anime
    + Mutual Killing Video"
[09:23] ---
    this matter will, via the
    synergy of these two,
[09:27] ---
    be committed to a scheme that's
    optimized for a broader demographic,
[09:31] ---
    a blue ocean paradigm shift
    that secures incentives,
[09:33] ---
    a blue ocean paradigm shift
    that secures incentives,
[09:33] ---
    "Despair Video"
[09:34] ---
    resulting in a win-win situation for us both.
[09:42] ---
    Hey, Mitarai...
[09:45] ---
    I want to make a video way
    better than the one you saw.
[09:50] ---
    Lend me your strength.
[09:53] ---
    What are you going to do?
[09:56] ---
    That's a no-brainer!
[10:01] ---
    I'm going to knock the world into despair.
[10:06] ---
    Let go... Let go of me!
[10:09] ---
    Let go!
[10:09] ---
    If you want, you can run.
[10:13] ---
    But if you do,
[10:14] ---
    I may choose your precious classmates
    for the next mutual killing.
[10:26] ---
    We never did manage to find Tsumiki.
[10:30] ---
    I used my connections to have
    someone visit her house,
[10:34] ---
    but it seems she hasn't returned.
[10:38] ---
    My Twelve Zodiac Generals,
[10:40] ---
    could find no trace of her, either!
[10:43] ---
    S-Sure.
[10:47] ---
    You finally came, Pukey Pig!
[10:52] ---
    I'm back, everyone.
[10:59] ---
    Long time, no see. I brought souvenirs.
[11:02] ---
    Not now.
[11:04] ---
    Who're you?
[11:04] ---
    Welcome back, Komaeda.
[11:07] ---
    But we aren't in the mood to
    celebrate your return yet.
[11:11] ---
    Tsumiki's gone missing.
[11:14] ---
    Tsumiki?
[11:15] ---
    You'd better not say you've forgotten her.
[11:17] ---
    What a coincidence!
[11:20] ---
    If you're looking for Tsumiki, I
    just saw her in the West District.
[11:23] ---
    What?!
[11:27] ---
    Sure it was the West District?
[11:29] ---
    Huh? I don't remember you
    as this type of character...
[11:33] ---
    Ah!
[11:34] ---
    Never mind! Sorry!
[11:36] ---
    I got a little overexcited...
[11:39] ---
    I'm sure of it.
[11:41] ---
    Want to pick her up?
[11:43] ---
    Yeah.
[11:44] ---
    I have to hear from Tsumiki
    why she isn't attending class.
[11:48] ---
    That's right!
[11:49] ---
    Jeez, what a pain!
[11:55] ---
    Ah, Pekoyama.
[11:58] ---
    What is it?
[11:59] ---
    We need to talk.
[12:09] ---
    No.
[12:10] ---
    It's at a time like this that a
    teacher must pull her students along.
[12:14] ---
    We need to charge toward our youth!
[12:18] ---
    All right!
[12:21] ---
    Good morning...!
[12:28] ---
    "Gone to look for Tsumiki."
[12:32] ---
    That's dangerous!
[12:34] ---
    I told them not to go outside!
[12:37] ---
    
[12:50] ---
    We're going to grab our futures!
[12:53] ---
    Swarm in!
[12:59] ---
    Damn...
[13:00] ---
    You weeds, getting ahead of yourselves!
[13:03] ---
    I'll help, Sakakura.
[13:08] ---
    Munakata!
[13:09] ---
    This has become even more
    trouble than I expected.
[13:13] ---
    I'm sorry!
[13:14] ---
    No, I'm the one who should apologize.
[13:17] ---
    I'm sorry for pushing the
    dangerous work on you two.
[13:21] ---
    Don't say things that are out of character.
[13:25] ---
    Once you have a grasp of the
    situation, call Yukizome to join us.
[13:29] ---
    Yeah, I'll call her right away.
[13:32] ---
    "Incoming Call: Sakakura"
[13:35] ---
    Tsumiki!
[13:37] ---
    Class!
[13:39] ---
    If you're there, answer me!
[13:42] ---
    "Incoming Call: Sakakura"
[13:48] ---
    Tsumiki!
[13:50] ---
    If you're there, answer us!
[13:52] ---
    Surely, she hasn't been devoured
    by Purgatory's horrible gates.
[13:57] ---
    I get that you're saying something ominous...
[14:01] ---
    Mikan!
[14:03] ---
    Let me twist your joints!
[14:06] ---
    Even if she hears, she
    won't come out for that.
[14:08] ---
    Stuff that comes out?
[14:10] ---
    Yuck!
[14:11] ---
    I don't get it, but you're creepy!
[14:15] ---
    Tsumiki!
[14:17] ---
    Are you there?
[14:21] ---
    Hey, do you think she
    might be in the cafeteria?
[14:25] ---
    That's just where you want to go.
[14:28] ---
    Huh?
[14:29] ---
    Hey, what's wrong, Mitarai?
[14:32] ---
    Are you hungry?
[14:33] ---
    N-No.
[14:40] ---
    Maybe we should check the
    cafeteria, just in case.
[14:43] ---
    All right!
[14:47] ---
    Tsumiki isn't here.
[14:50] ---
    Huh?
[14:52] ---
    Ah, hold on.
[14:53] ---
    A statue in a place like this?
[14:58] ---
    Hmm...
[15:05] ---
    Komaeda!
[15:11] ---
    Huh?
[15:12] ---
    What is this?
[15:14] ---
    Wow.
[15:15] ---
    Finding a secret passage by chance...
[15:18] ---
    I really am lucky.
[15:20] ---
    You didn't just know about it already?
[15:22] ---
    Hardly.
[15:24] ---
    It was just luck. Chance.
[15:33] ---
    Why does a place like
    this exist at the school?
[15:37] ---
    Who knows.
[15:38] ---
    But maybe they were studying something
    they couldn't let anyone know about.
[15:43] ---
    They couldn't let anyone know?
[15:46] ---
    Like... human experiments, for instance.
[15:58] ---
    Is this...?
[16:06] ---
    Mitarai?
[16:08] ---
    Have you lost weight?
[16:10] ---
    I... I haven't done anything.
[16:13] ---
    Huh?
[16:14] ---
    I... I...
[16:16] ---
    I was just making anime.
[16:18] ---
    I... I haven't done anything!
[16:23] ---
    Mitarai!
[16:25] ---
    How's your progress?
[16:27] ---
    Hey.
[16:29] ---
    We're visiting.
[16:30] ---
    Who are you? Wait.
[16:33] ---
    Why does an outsider know about this place?
[16:36] ---
    Pure chance.
[16:37] ---
    Chance?
[16:39] ---
    I have Super High School-Level Luck, you see.
[16:43] ---
    Oh? You?
[16:45] ---
    Well, not like it matters.
[16:48] ---
    Not like you can ever tell
    anyone about this place...
[16:53] ---
    If you're counting on Mukuro Ikusaba
    to come and help you... don't.
[17:06] ---
    How much do you know, upperclassman?
[17:09] ---
    It was just chance...
[17:11] ---
    ...underclassman.
[17:13] ---
    Why are you stalking me?
[17:15] ---
    A certain man asked me for a favor.
[17:18] ---
    To keep a close eye on you.
[17:21] ---
    Oh.
[17:23] ---
    So it's true you guys are all buddy-buddy.
[17:28] ---
    You... what do you know?
[17:31] ---
    Search me.
[17:33] ---
    But being followed...
[17:35] ---
    It pisses me off!
[17:43] ---
    You've killed before, haven't you?
[17:46] ---
    I could ask you the same.
[17:48] ---
    I haven't done anything.
[17:49] ---
    Oh... Hmm.
[17:52] ---
    I see.
[17:54] ---
    Sis is preoccupied, huh?
[17:57] ---
    You see, this is for hope.
[18:01] ---
    To protect hope, I will do anything.
[18:12] ---
    You think you can stop this despair?
[18:19] ---
    Komaeda!
[18:21] ---
    I just happened to pick this up overseas...
[18:24] ---
    I brought it back as a souvenir.
[18:25] ---
    Wait! You can't!
[18:28] ---
    Killing is wrong, no matter what!
[18:31] ---
    You're wrong, class rep.
[18:35] ---
    Didn't I say it?
[18:36] ---
    This is for hope.
[18:39] ---
    Huh?
[18:41] ---
    In the end, despair is only
    a stepping stone to hope.
[18:45] ---
    So,
[18:46] ---
    you are only a stepping stone to hope.
[18:50] ---
    And?
[18:51] ---
    I wanted to test it...
[18:53] ---
    If a guy like me could kill you,
[18:56] ---
    you wouldn't be good enough to
    be a stepping stone to hope...
[19:00] ---
    No.
[19:01] ---
    In order to make everyone's hope shine,
[19:05] ---
    you must be absolute despair!
[19:09] ---
    You really do love hope, huh?
[19:12] ---
    To a despairful degree.
[19:15] ---
    I pray you can avoid my beating you,
[19:18] ---
    so you become a despair that
    makes all of them shine.
[19:25] ---
    Who are you?
[19:32] ---
    It's jammed?
[19:36] ---
    If it's good luck, I have that, too.
[19:56] ---
    Komaeda!
[19:58] ---
    Hang in there, Komaeda!
[20:00] ---
    Komaeda!
[20:04] ---
    Are you okay?
[20:09] ---
    The student handbook?
[20:21] ---
    Komaeda!
[20:22] ---
    He does have good luck.
[20:28] ---
    Just as expected! You're great!
[20:32] ---
    Ah.
[20:37] ---
    Tsumiki!
[20:39] ---
    Class!
[20:41] ---
    Honestly, where did everyone go--?
[20:46] ---
    Sorry! Are you okay--?
[20:47] ---
    Huh?
[20:48] ---
    Mitarai?
[20:50] ---
    Did you lose weight?
[20:51] ---
    Help...
[20:52] ---
    Please help!
[20:53] ---
    They're going to kill Nanami!
[20:58] ---
    That sounds like a serious matter.
[21:00] ---
    Where should I go?
[21:01] ---
    I have to go, too...
[21:04] ---
    But... I'm just an animator.
[21:07] ---
    It's all right.
[21:10] ---
    Protecting everyone is a teacher's job.
[21:13] ---
    When I get back, show me your anime, okay?
[21:17] ---
    My... anime...?
[21:20] ---
    Now, where do I need to go?
[21:28] ---
    I have a bad feeling about this.
[21:31] ---
    My talent is being a Super
    High School-Level Housekeeper.
[21:32] ---
    "Incoming Call: Sakakura"
[21:35] ---
    For some reason, an unnatural
    number of coincidences
[21:38] ---
    have led me to places at decisive moments.
[21:42] ---
    Yes, this time, too.
[21:47] ---
    I'm sorry, Kyosuke...
[21:49] ---
    We might not meet again.
[23:32] ---
    Hinata... Right?
[23:35] ---
    "The Worst Reunion by Chance"
[23:43] ---
