[00:09] ---
    A prey with six rings.
    You're not getting away.
[00:14] ---
    So fast... I'll wait until she lands.
[00:17] ---
    The moment she stops moving...
[00:19] ---
    Gone?! Where—
[00:22] ---
    There are too many camped snipers.
[00:26] ---
    And most of them don't have a single ring.
[00:37] ---
    An underground mall...
[00:39] ---
    Might be some people waiting to attack,
    but no snipers.

    EPISODE 05
    AQUARIUM
[02:19] ---
    My whole body feels heavy.
[02:22] ---
    Why am I so exhausted again?
[02:25] ---
    No surprise.
    You haven't gotten much sleep lately.
[02:29] ---
    That so?
[02:30] ---
    Well, pretty soon and it'll be
    the long-awaited summer break.
[02:33] ---
    But we've got finals before that.
[02:37] ---
    I guess you're right.
[02:39] ---
    By the way,
    I've been wanting to ask you something.
[02:42] ---
    What is it?
[02:44] ---
    Why did you start playing Darwin's Game?
[02:47] ---
    Well, I wanted all kinds of stuff.
[02:50] ---
    Hearing that you can get tons of money
    by winning a game, you'd try it, right?
[02:54] ---
    My family's poor.
[02:56] ---
    Besides, we made a promise, remember?
[02:58] ---
    A promise?
[02:59] ---
    Remember when you, me, and Hamada
    got our driver licenses?
[03:03] ---
    We said we'd go touring over summer break.
[03:09] ---
    Dumbass...
[03:10] ---
    You didn't have to take it seriously,
    buying such an expensive bike.
[03:15] ---
    Instead, we all could've gotten a part-time job...
[03:20] ---
    I don't know, man.
    It seemed like a good idea at the time.
[03:25] ---
    You dumbass...
[03:27] ---
    Guilty as charged.
    So dumb that I got you and Hamada involved.
[03:33] ---
    Hey, Kyoda! Let's get moving.
[03:36] ---
    Right, on my way.
[03:37] ---
    W-Wait! I'll go with you...
[03:40] ---
    Now, now. You've still got
    something to do, right, Kaname?
[03:43] ---
    That's right. We couldn't do it,
    but just maybe you can...
[03:58] ---
    A notification?
[04:00] ---
    I should be arriving at your hotel soon,
    Kana-meow!

[04:03] ---
    Whichever of us has fewer rings gets punished!
[04:06] ---
    Punished, eh?
[04:08] ---
    I don't get the sense
    that she's the least bit nervous.
[04:12] ---
    Well, I can't imagine Shuka getting picked off,
    but I'm happy to hear she's all right.

[04:19] ---
    You're done already?
    That was only three hours of sleep.
[04:23] ---
    It was plenty.
    Also, Shuka says she's ready to rendezvous.
[04:27] ---
    That's good news.
[04:30] ---
    What about the Florist?
    That old guy, Hiiragi.
[04:33] ---
    He went to put up new barricades below.
[04:37] ---
    Fortunately, Eighth Clan hasn't made a move yet.
[04:40] ---
    Then call the old man up here.
    We need to settle that one issue.
[04:46] ---
    What is this?
[04:49] ---
    Oh, I get it...
[04:52] ---
    You teamed up, huh?
[04:55] ---
    So what do you intend to do, kill me?
[04:58] ---
    Well, no sense getting your hands dirty, I guess.
[05:01] ---
    Leave me bound with no rings
    and it'll be game over.
[05:06] ---
    I'll give you rings.
[05:08] ---
    What, are you taking pity on me?
[05:10] ---
    It's not that.
    I'm just returning the favor.
[05:14] ---
    Favor?
[05:16] ---
    If you swear not to treat us as enemies,
    we'll cut you loose and return your gun.
[05:21] ---
    What's your scheme?
[05:23] ---
    For just this event,
    how about teaming up with us?
[05:26] ---
    You're a solo player too, right?
[05:29] ---
    No thanks.
[05:31] ---
    If it were just you and the girl, I'd be in,
    but I want nothing to do with that old man.
[05:36] ---
    He's the bastard who brainwashed me.
[05:39] ---
    One look and I could tell,
    I'd never forgive him!
[05:42] ---
    A justified opinion.
[05:45] ---
    As long as I'm around,
    I doubt you'll be able to change his mind.
[05:48] ---
    All right.
[05:49] ---
    I told you, I refused.
[05:51] ---
    I know, but I get the feeling
    you won't be hostile towards us.
[05:56] ---
    You're incredibly naive.
[05:58] ---
    Well, then...
[06:00] ---
    Your gun and ammo are in the elevator hall.
[06:03] ---
    Thanks for the courtesy.
[06:05] ---
    As a favor, I won't attack during the event.
[06:08] ---
    That's all I'm asking.
[06:09] ---
    So our thrown-together clan
    is the three of us, plus Shuka?
[06:14] ---
    Including Wang,
    how many Eighth Clan members are here?
[06:18] ---
    At least five of them.
[06:20] ---
    But considering the scale of his clan,
    there could easily be double that.
[06:25] ---
    You promised not to engage us.
[06:27] ---
    Not that! You just mentioned
    Wang of the Eighth Clan, didn't you?!
[06:30] ---
    Is that bastard participating in this?!
[06:32] ---
    I have a verified sighting.
[06:35] ---
    His appearance stands out, so I'm pretty sure.
[06:39] ---
    You're sure...
    So that son of a bitch is in this, too.
[06:43] ---
    Knowing him, he won't pass up
    the mother lode of rings in this hotel.
[06:48] ---
    I've changed my mind.
    I'll join your slapdash clan.
[06:58] ---
    Thirty-two rings is just over 500 million, huh?
[07:02] ---
    Not too shabby.
[07:04] ---
    Where should we go next, Wang?
[07:06] ---
    We've nabbed all the rings around here.
[07:09] ---
    Our next batch should be a big one.
[07:14] ---
    Are we finally hitting that hotel?
[07:17] ---
    The beatdown in there
    has been simmering for a while.
[07:20] ---
    Probably cooked to perfection by now.
[07:23] ---
    We'll get over 20 rings
    if we ransack that hotel.
[07:26] ---
    How much is that gonna be worth?!
[07:28] ---
    Keep your pants on.
[07:30] ---
    Being overly optimistic can get you killed.
[07:32] ---
    For now, we stay cool, calm and collected,
    then we'll make our assault at night.
[07:37] ---
    I already put the call out to members
    not participating in the event.
[07:42] ---
    By night, we'll have 20 members in Shibuya.
[07:46] ---
    I get it!
[07:47] ---
    The general public was ordered out of the area,
    but players can come in, right?
[07:51] ---
    Genius, Wang!
    Your mind's as sharp as ever!
[07:54] ---
    Shibuya is Eighth Clan territory.
[07:57] ---
    There's no way I can lose here.
[08:00] ---
    Once I get hold of the hotel rings,
    I'll have over 50 of them.
[08:03] ---
    That should definitely put me
    in first place for this event.
[08:06] ---
    In other words, I'll finally get the rumored
    event champion's privilege.
[08:13] ---
    What?
[08:15] ---
    Nothing. You just kind of
    resemble an acquaintance.
[08:18] ---
    I imagined a more savage look.
[08:22] ---
    Huh?
[08:23] ---
    So, about where we go from here, um...
[08:26] ---
    It's Ryuji.
    That's my name in D-Game.
[08:30] ---
    By the way, what happened to the other guys?
[08:32] ---
    I wounded them earlier,
    so gave them three rings each and let them go.
[08:39] ---
    How kind-hearted.
[08:41] ---
    So tell me the strategy.
[08:44] ---
    I wouldn't call it a strategy,
    but we've still got 15 rings here.
[08:50] ---
    Hiiragi used his Sigil to seal this hotel like a fortress.
[08:53] ---
    When they come for the rings,
    we'll intercept them.
[08:56] ---
    I see.
[08:57] ---
    But would anyone be foolish enough
    to walk right into a trap?
[09:01] ---
    If they don't come, we'll be in the clear
    with our quota of rings.
[09:06] ---
    But they probably will come.
[09:08] ---
    No, I'm certain of it.
[09:10] ---
    Of course they'll come.
    He's a greedy, arrogant asshole.
[09:15] ---
    So how do we split up the loot?
[09:17] ---
    There are 15 rings left here,
    worth a total of 3,800 points.
[09:24] ---
    We're giving half of the total to Hiiragi.
[09:27] ---
    The three of us will split the other half equally.
[09:30] ---
    It's strange for me to say this,
    but are you sure about the shares?
[09:35] ---
    It's fine. You did most of the heavy lifting here.
[09:38] ---
    I think you deserve the bigger share.
[09:40] ---
    And you just set me free,
    so I have no complaints.
[09:45] ---
    Besides, after crushing Eighth,
    we'll split the rewards equally, right?
[09:49] ---
    What's wrong, Rein?
[09:50] ---
    I was just going over the event rules
    and noticed something.
[09:55] ---
    Don't you find this point table odd?
[09:58] ---
    No, not really...
[10:00] ---
    Odd how?
[10:01] ---
    Maybe it's because men
    aren't interested in gems,
[10:06] ---
    but it's weird for topaz to be worth
    fewer points than lapis lazuli.
[10:10] ---
    Lapis lazuli is a semi-precious stone
    that isn't very valuable.
[10:14] ---
    Topaz is a precious stone that's worth a lot more.
[10:17] ---
    Besides that, the four main precious stones
    are usually said to be
[10:20] ---
    diamonds, rubies,
    sapphires and emeralds, in that order.
[10:24] ---
    At first glance, it tricks you into thinking
    points are based on the hierarchy of gems,
[10:28] ---
    but in actuality,
    there's no relation between them.
[10:31] ---
    Did they maybe just assign points randomly?
[10:34] ---
    They're just painted metal rings anyway.
[10:38] ---
    The lines in these rules are strange, too.
    They're extremely unnatural.
[10:43] ---
    Especially where it says,
    "When the time limit is up,
[10:47] ---
    if the game is not cleared, it's 'game over'
    for any player with less than three rings."
[10:53] ---
    How's that strange?
[10:55] ---
    Certainly, it is unnatural.
[10:57] ---
    We don't know what it means
    for the game to be "cleared."
[11:01] ---
    The player has to have three rings, right?
[11:03] ---
    If that's the case, they wouldn't need to include
    anything about being "cleared."
[11:11] ---
    True, when you read it over carefully...
[11:14] ---
    It never specifically states that the rings
    are the treasure hidden in Shibuya.
[11:21] ---
    But I think we can table this 'til later, no?
[11:25] ---
    If you ask me, we should come up
    with a way to beat Eighth first.
[11:29] ---
    By the way, shouldn't your friend
    be here any minute?
[11:34] ---
    The entrances are sealed shut
    and there are traps inside.
[11:38] ---
    We should probably go down to meet her.
[11:41] ---
    I told her to text me when she gets here—
[11:44] ---
    That must be her.
[11:47] ---
    HELP
[11:48] ---
    Help...
[11:50] ---
    This is some kind of joke, right?
[11:50] ---
    HELP
[11:54] ---
    Help me... Kaname!
[12:01] ---
    No rings, huh?
[12:02] ---
    But there may be more blind spots.
[12:12] ---
    Just my imagination?
[12:13] ---
    No, someone is watching me.
[12:16] ---
    But where are they?
[12:21] ---
    What was that? Water?
    Definitely a Sigil attack!

[12:25] ---
    But where is the one controlling it?
[12:28] ---
    Crap! They mean to suffocate me!
[12:31] ---
    A telekinetic Sigil that controls water
    is a lousy match for me.

[12:36] ---
    Regardless, I must escape
    this underground mall!

[12:38] ---
    Then I'll find the controller and kill them!
[12:42] ---
    Sorry, but I'm not letting you escape, girl.
[12:45] ---
    Now I don't need to bother
    looking for you, waterboy!
[12:48] ---
    A weak water wall won't stop my blades!
[12:55] ---
    That was close.
[12:57] ---
    You would've easily slashed my throat.
    A-rankers really are on a different playing field.
[13:03] ---
    He trapped my weapons in ice!
[13:05] ---
    So he can do more than just control water?
[13:08] ---
    Why, you...
[13:10] ---
    What's this now, a drill?
[13:12] ---
    Yikes!
[13:16] ---
    Aw, man! I almost pissed my pants!
[13:18] ---
    A-rankers really go all out!
[13:21] ---
    If I don't finish her off now,
    there's no telling what she'll do!
[13:27] ---
    Drop 'em!
[13:29] ---
    The exit should be
    less than 100 meters from here!

[13:31] ---
    Need make it!
[13:35] ---
    No! He set me up!
[13:40] ---
    HELP
[13:42] ---
    Help...
[13:44] ---
    This is some kind of joke, right?
[13:47] ---
    These coordinates...
    She's asking for help from here?
[13:50] ---
    Is there any trouble?
[13:52] ---
    Shuka sent me a Help Call.
[13:54] ---
    I'm hoping it's just a dumb joke...
[13:57] ---
    I doubt she'd send a Help Call as a joke.
[14:02] ---
    Then she's serious?
[14:06] ---
    I'm gonna go pick her up.
[14:08] ---
    I'll leave my rings here,
    so you guys hold the fort for a bit.
[14:11] ---
    Okay, I'll let you through
    the traps and barricades.
[14:14] ---
    In that case, I'm going with you.
[14:17] ---
    Thanks, appreciated.
[14:19] ---
    W-Wait, hold on a second.
[14:21] ---
    This isn't as simple
    as you're making it out to be!
[14:24] ---
    Shuka's in trouble, but she's an A-ranker.
[14:26] ---
    Meaning she's facing something
    more dangerous than herself.
[14:30] ---
    One wrong move and you'll all need help!
[14:33] ---
    That's why I'm going.
[14:34] ---
    If we can save her, we'll have a powerful ally.
[14:37] ---
    Remember, Eighth's Wang is an A-ranker, too.
[14:39] ---
    Sorry, Rein.
[14:41] ---
    I know you're being considerate
    by warning us,
[14:45] ---
    but abandoning a teammate
    has never been an option.
[14:51] ---
    All right then.
[14:53] ---
    I can easily cover you up to a kilometer
    with my sniper rifle from here.
[14:57] ---
    I'll try to give as much support as possible
    from the hotel roof.
[15:01] ---
    Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.
[15:08] ---
    Many go out for wool and come home shorn.
    Just don't let it happen to you.
[15:14] ---
    The coordinates are about
    400 meters north of here.
[15:17] ---
    There are six rings adjacent to it,
    so that must be her.
[15:21] ---
    Near the station...
[15:23] ---
    Should take less than five minutes,
    but we've got 300 enemies...
[15:26] ---
    THERE ARE CURRENTLY 168 PLAYERS
    IN THE TREASURE HUNT.
[15:27] ---
    Whoa, make that down to 168 already.
[15:30] ---
    Anyway, man, where's your gun?
[15:32] ---
    You don't mean to do this unarmed, do you?
[15:35] ---
    I guess they disappear
    when I lose consciousness.
[15:39] ---
    Disappear?
[15:45] ---
    So you can make copies of things?
[15:48] ---
    You should use that
    to copy the rings for an easy win.
[15:51] ---
    It's not that convenient.
[15:54] ---
    The moment I touch something,
    I know whether I can make a duplicate of it or not.
[15:57] ---
    Complicated things like smartphones
    and big stuff like cars are out.
[16:02] ---
    Those rings must not be
    simply made of metal.
[16:06] ---
    So what can you make?
[16:08] ---
    Depending on that,
    our battle strategy could change.
[16:12] ---
    Also hand grenades, handguns...
[16:15] ---
    You could make a nice profit with that Sigil.
[16:18] ---
    I wish I could trade mine for yours.
[16:22] ---
    Come to think of it, what is your Sigil?
[16:24] ---
    I've already told you about mine, so your turn.
[16:27] ---
    My Sigil's trash.
[16:30] ---
    "Truth or Lie."
    A lie detector.
[16:33] ---
    I can tell when someone else
    is lying or not.
[16:36] ---
    It's a real bummer of a Sigil.
[16:39] ---
    Especially since everyone lies so damn much.
[16:45] ---
    If it's near the station, I can cover them easily.
[16:49] ---
    This is a better sniper point than I thought.
[16:52] ---
    The Eighth Clan still haven't made their move?
[16:55] ---
    It's dangerous to be overconfident
    based on movement of the rings,

[16:58] ---
    but given this event's rules, I'm sure few players
    would move around without their rings.

[17:04] ---
    Besides, what if these rings really aren't
    the hidden treasure, but just a smoke screen?

[17:10] ---
    Or maybe a clue to the real treasure?
[17:14] ---
    That's a QR code!
[17:16] ---
    Maybe...
[17:18] ---
    Our defenses are up.
[17:21] ---
    Did something happen?
[17:23] ---
    No.
[17:24] ---
    But I may have found a clue
    about clearing the event.
[17:29] ---
    What is that?
[17:31] ---
    It could be some kind of code.
[17:34] ---
    Since it was obviously put there on purpose,
    I have to think the numbers are important.
[17:39] ---
    We'd better check the other rings, too.
[17:42] ---
    Mine show other numbers.
[17:44] ---
    Wait, this ring has the same number?
[17:48] ---
    Does that one happen to be a topaz ring?
[17:52] ---
    Looks like it. So does each type of ring
    display different numbers?
[17:57] ---
    It does remind me of a code.
[18:00] ---
    This gives more credibility
    to Kaname's hypothesis.
[18:04] ---
    I wonder why two of the sequences
    start with a decimal point.
[18:08] ---
    And there are two nines.
[18:10] ---
    That's not much to go on.
[18:12] ---
    And we don't have
    any diamond or emerald rings?
[18:16] ---
    Nope. This is just a guess,
    but we may need to gather all the ring types.
[18:22] ---
    The map display doesn't show
    a single diamond ring,
[18:26] ---
    so we don't have to worry
    about being beaten to it, but...
[18:29] ---
    After the start of the game, there was mention
    of a first round of ring placement.
[18:34] ---
    It follows that there will be a second round.
[18:37] ---
    Let's make a revision
    to our defense system against Eighth.
[18:45] ---
    Nobody's here.
[18:46] ---
    Hard to believe it's Shibuya in the afternoon.
[18:49] ---
    That's because they make normal folk
    clear out, apparently.
[18:53] ---
    I have no idea how they do it,
    but it's down to 168 players now?
[18:57] ---
    That's all there is.
[18:58] ---
    Getting exclusive use of Shibuya
    makes this one extravagant game.
[19:02] ---
    Your life is a pile of poker chips.
    It shouldn't be cheap.
[19:05] ---
    Ryuji, are you playing this game for money?
[19:08] ---
    Of course.
[19:10] ---
    Anyone who says they don't
    are either rich, a saint or a liar.
[19:15] ---
    I'm not any of those.
[19:17] ---
    Then you're a pervert.
[19:18] ---
    At least soften it to "weirdo."
[19:21] ---
    A pitiful weirdo who got dragged into D-Game
    and has been on the run ever since.
[19:26] ---
    At least you get rich while surviving, weirdo.
[19:34] ---
    An enemy?
[19:35] ---
    Not sure, but it has to be a participant.
[19:39] ---
    Person behind that pillar,
    put down your weapon and come out!
[19:43] ---
    Otherwise, a scary guy here
    will lob a grenade at you!
[19:47] ---
    Which one of us is the scary guy?
[19:50] ---
    If you don't attack, neither will we!
[19:53] ---
    So will you come out?
[19:55] ---
    I-I'm sorry! Please don't throw a grenade at me!
[19:59] ---
    I don't have any weapons.
[20:03] ---
    A girl?
[20:04] ---
    She looks younger than Rein!
[20:07] ---
    Don't drop your guard just 'cause it's a kid.
[20:09] ---
    She's telling the truth about having no weapons,
    but she could have a dangerous Sigil.
[20:14] ---
    I-I don't want to fight! Honestly!
[20:18] ---
    She's not lying. What do we do?
[20:22] ---
    We won't do anything. Sorry about the threat.
[20:25] ---
    Let's go, Ryuji. Clock's ticking.
[20:27] ---
    Right.
[20:28] ---
    Should be less than 100 meters away.
    Judging by the position of the rings...
[20:33] ---
    The subway?
    Don't tell me she's underground.
[20:36] ---
    U-Um...
[20:37] ---
    Sorry, we're in a hurry right now.
[20:40] ---
    Th-The subway is dangerous...
[20:43] ---
    You know something about it?
[20:45] ---
    I-I'm not sure, but... probably...
[20:49] ---
    Sorry, we don't have time to talk right now.
[20:53] ---
    B-But...
[21:01] ---
    Shuka may be in more danger than I thought.
[21:04] ---
    It's...
[21:11] ---
    It's completely flooded?!
[21:16] ---
    Hey!
[21:17] ---
    You don't mean to go down there?!
[21:18] ---
    There may still be time!
[21:20] ---
    Are you a moron?! It's not just flooded!
[21:23] ---
    That's a Sigil attack!
[21:25] ---
    We can't see the enemy, but they're close.
    There's little chance that Shuka is still alive.
[21:30] ---
    I know.
[21:33] ---
    If I'm not back in five minutes,
    go back to the hotel.
[21:36] ---
    Give my rings to that girl.
[21:40] ---
    Hey, wait, dumbass!
    Whatever happens, it's on you!
[21:48] ---
    U-Um...
[21:52] ---
    All right, brat.
[21:54] ---
    You lied to me once.
[21:59] ---
    You know something
    about the danger underground.
[22:03] ---
    My companion is dumber than I thought,
    so things are turning out bad.
[22:07] ---
    You're going to tell me
    everything that you know.
[22:15] ---
    What the hell?!
[22:18] ---
    G-Get back here! Little shit!
[22:22] ---
    I don't want killing a kid on my conscience,
[22:25] ---
    and besides, she's got some information...
[22:28] ---
    I'll just give her a scare.
[22:31] ---
    What's with this ice?!
[22:33] ---
    Dammit! Get back here, brat!
[22:54] ---
    The water is as cold as ice.
[22:57] ---
    Hard to stay conscious...
[23:02] ---
    I got a partner, but couldn't accomplish
    my goal and now it's game over for me...

[23:13] ---
    If I die, will Kaname cry for me?
[23:19] ---
    But I wanted to get to know him better...
[23:29] ---
    That's right...
[23:31] ---
    If I die, maybe I'll get to meet
    Mama and Papa...

[23:35] ---
    NEXT TIME: HARDNESS
[23:35] ---
    Next time, "Hardness."
