[00:05] ---
    Whoa, hold on...
[00:06] ---
    I didn't hear anything about
    facing down Wang with a bluff!

[00:09] ---
    Do we even have
    a chance of succeeding here?

[00:13] ---
    I don't know what he's thinking,
    but you can't negotiate with this guy!

[00:18] ---
    If Eighth was just a clan of punks
    in it for the money, then haggling might work...

[00:23] ---
    ...but Wang's not like the other members.
[00:27] ---
    He's the one who must pay!
[00:30] ---
    He's the one who chopped up my kid brother!
[00:34] ---
    I swear I'll kill him here!
[00:37] ---
    But all I've got now are hand grenades.
    He'd obviously use his teleporting Sigil to dodge.

[00:42] ---
    I've got to wait for a moment
    when he can't teleport.

[00:46] ---
    That'll be the moment
    he uses his Sigil to chop me up!

[00:50] ---
    So stay out of this, Kaname!
[02:24] ---
    EPISODE 08
    FRAGILE
[02:27] ---
    But I already told you.
    Eighth's deals are all about take-and-take.
[02:32] ---
    Well, as a reward, I'll make your execution
    as painless as possible.
[02:37] ---
    That so?
[02:38] ---
    If you're gonna be like that,
    then you leave me no choice.
[02:43] ---
    I assumed you'd understand
    the value of the key.
[02:48] ---
    A cheap bluff isn't gonna work on him!
[02:51] ---
    Being unable to read Kaname's mind is a pain.
[02:51] ---
    LIE LIE LIE
[02:55] ---
    The only thing my Sigil can tell me
    is whether someone's lying or not.

[03:00] ---
    You wanna shoot it, go ahead.
[03:02] ---
    I doubt that's the key to the real treasure.
[03:05] ---
    I'm surprised.
[03:06] ---
    Is Wang actually interested in Kaname's spiel?
[03:12] ---
    Well, you'll just have to take my word for it.
[03:15] ---
    The codes definitely indicate coordinates
    for Shibuya Station.
[03:19] ---
    But without the diamond code,
    you won't get to the real treasure.
[03:23] ---
    Incidentally, the diamond code is 888001.
[03:23] ---
    LIE LIE LIE
[03:27] ---
    You can split it up into "888" and "001."
[03:31] ---
    In relation to Shibuya Station,
    888 obviously means the statue of Hachiko.
[03:31] ---
    LIE LIE LIE
[03:36] ---
    I found this key after checking.
[03:38] ---
    So that just left the question
    of what is this key for?
[03:41] ---
    Then it hit me.
    This is the key to a safety deposit box.
[03:41] ---
    LIE LIE LIE
[03:45] ---
    And since I figured that out, the meaning of
    the remaining "001" could only be one thing.
[03:49] ---
    The real treasure is in a safety deposit box
    at Inaho Bank, branch 001.
[03:57] ---
    He's full of crap.
[03:59] ---
    But will Wang buy into it?
[04:03] ---
    It sounds plausible enough,
    but he's got nothing to back it up.

[04:08] ---
    I can't quite figure out his angle.
[04:10] ---
    Wang, maybe wastin' him isn't a good idea?
    I mean, there's gotta be a fortune stashed away.
[04:15] ---
    Shut up for a minute.
[04:18] ---
    The rewards for this event are worth
    billions of yen from just the rings alone.

[04:23] ---
    The real treaure must make that
    look like chump change.

[04:26] ---
    Then there's the rumor that whoever clears the event
    will be given a special privilege in D-Game.

[04:33] ---
    I can't ignore that.
[04:36] ---
    Very well, I guarantee your safety.
[04:41] ---
    But this guy is a different story.
[04:45] ---
    Anything more would be too greedy on your part.
[04:47] ---
    And once I'm in the middle of an execution,
    I just gotta see it through.
[04:55] ---
    Fine by me!
[04:56] ---
    We just teamed up out of convenience.
    It's not like we're buddies or anything.
[05:05] ---
    Ryuji, my man,
    you just got tossed to the wolves!
[05:08] ---
    That's what D-Game's all about!
[05:16] ---
    Thank you, Kaname.
[05:19] ---
    In the end, you showed me
    that my Sigil isn't a worthless piece of crap.

[05:23] ---
    We've got us a deal.
[05:25] ---
    Alright, but...
[05:27] ---
    If it turns out you're screwing with me,
    I'll kill you on the spot.
[05:31] ---
    Kaname, just one moment!
    Somehow, give me that opening!

[05:35] ---
    I swear I'll kill him then!
[05:39] ---
    Wang, if you think I might be lying,
    you can check out this key for yourself.
[05:45] ---
    Here! Take a good look!
[05:54] ---
    I'm grateful, Kaname!
    This is my chance to kill—

[05:57] ---
    I'll tell you my philosophy.
[06:01] ---
    No matter what path you follow,
[06:03] ---
    the one who's still alive at the end is the winner!
[06:09] ---
    This is a gamble!
    There's no guarantee it'll work.

[06:12] ---
    But this is the only possible
    way of winning I could find!

[06:15] ---
    PASSCODE
[06:18] ---
    The diamond code is 185911.
[06:23] ---
    That sequence refers to the month and year in which
    Charles Darwin's "The Origin of Species" was published.

[06:30] ---
    That number has a connection to D-Game,
    but I don't see any correlation to Shibuya Station.

[06:36] ---
    But the odd thing is that it isn't just
    the year or full date,

[06:40] ---
    but only the month and year.
[06:43] ---
    Something unnatural like that
    must have a purpose.

[06:46] ---
    Perhaps the numbers have no meaning,
    other than being a passcode.

[06:51] ---
    Then the important thing is the number of digits.
[06:54] ---
    And the only thing at Shibuya Station
    that uses six-digit passcodes

[06:59] ---
    are the coin lockers at the south exit.
[06:59] ---
    PLEASE ENTER PASSCODE
[07:01] ---
    RETRIEVE ITEM
[07:02] ---
    This is the key to a safety deposit box? I don't—
[07:06] ---
    Sorry! I threw you the wrong one!
[07:09] ---
    That's the key to my scooter.
[07:18] ---
    Mow down that brat right now!
[07:20] ---
    We can't!
    Once teleportation starts, you can't move!
[07:26] ---
    This is what you get, Wang!
    Face it, he outsmarted you!
[07:30] ---
    Scum! I know your face now!
[07:34] ---
    I'm gonna cut you up and feed you to pigs!
[07:37] ---
    I've already forgotten your ugly face!
[07:42] ---
    This is a notice to all participants
    of the Treasure Hunt Game.

[07:45] ---
    The game has just been cleared.
[07:48] ---
    Wait, that means it's over, right?
    I wonder which side won.
[07:53] ---
    Isn't that obvious?
[07:55] ---
    THE TREASURE HUNT GAME
    HAS BEEN CLEARED BY KANAME SUDO.
    CONGRATULATIONS!
[07:55] ---
    You did it, Kaname.
[07:58] ---
    I was lucky to meet you. There's no way
    I could've escaped the hotel on my own.
[08:06] ---
    I-It's over!
[08:08] ---
    The Shibuya Treasure Hunt Game is done!
[08:12] ---
    The winner is an unknown newbie, Kaname Sudo!
[08:16] ---
    Oh my, what a stunning upset.
[08:19] ---
    Did any of the customers bet on him?
[08:23] ---
    I won.
[08:24] ---
    Well, congratulations.
[08:26] ---
    I'll exchange that for you.
[08:28] ---
    No, I'm good.
[08:30] ---
    I'm sure receiving it with my own hands
    will be much more satisfying.
[08:38] ---
    It's over?
[08:56] ---
    This is the treasure?
[08:58] ---
    This is what we fought over?
[09:06] ---
    First of all, congratulations, Kaname Sudo!
[09:09] ---
    A brilliant victory that defied my expectations!
[09:14] ---
    Who...
[09:16] ---
    Who are you?!
[09:18] ---
    Knowing you,
    I'm sure you've already figured that out.

[09:22] ---
    I see. So you're the one...
[09:24] ---
    You're the host of this game!
[09:26] ---
    Bingo!
    A thousand points for Kaname Sudo!

[09:31] ---
    This should prove beyond a shadow of a doubt
    that I'm the Game Master.

[09:35] ---
    YOU HAVE BEEN AWARDED 1000P!
[09:35] ---
    Has it?
[09:37] ---
    Game Master?
[09:39] ---
    Meaning, you created this goddamned game
    and dragged me and my friend into it?!
[09:45] ---
    I didn't exactly create it.
    You could say that I built the interface.

[09:51] ---
    Don't give me some bullshit excuse!
[09:53] ---
    Point taken.
[09:54] ---
    Well, that aside.
    why don't we cut to the chase?

[09:58] ---
    The chase?
[09:59] ---
    That's right, so maybe you can
    quell your anger and at least listen?

[10:04] ---
    This is an opportunity for you.
[10:07] ---
    And it may be the only time we can speak.
[10:12] ---
    Damn! All right, say what you wanna say.
[10:15] ---
    First, you did a great job winning the game,
[10:18] ---
    so I want you to accept the fabulous prizes
    without any reservations.

[10:22] ---
    To start, you get 10,000 completion bonus points.
[10:25] ---
    How about I take half of that and share it among
    the participating players in your friend list?

[10:30] ---
    You'll get the rest, plus a 237-point survival bonus
    for the battle royal mode, for a total of 5,237 points.

[10:40] ---
    But the points are like an extra prize.
[10:43] ---
    As the winner of this difficult event,
    you get a unique privilege within Darwin's Game.

[10:51] ---
    Privilege?
[10:52] ---
    Tell me what you wish for.
[10:55] ---
    Of course, it's limited to something
    I can actually make happen.

[10:58] ---
    Things like bringing someone back to life
    or becoming immortal is impossible.

[11:03] ---
    Well, doesn't sound like much of a prize.
[11:06] ---
    I'm not God, after all.
[11:08] ---
    At most, I'm just a stand-in.
[11:11] ---
    Fine, then how about I want to
    quit this game right now?
[11:14] ---
    I'm unable to grant that one.
    It'd work against my goals.

[11:18] ---
    More like, "I'll make your wish come true,
    but only if it's convenient for me."
[11:23] ---
    I never said I'd make "any" wish come true.
[11:26] ---
    But in the past,
    I have fulfilled requests as much as possible.

[11:30] ---
    For one event winner, I granted access to
    the gambling den that revolves around Darwin's Game.

[11:35] ---
    For another winner,
    I approved a point match at his place of business.

[11:40] ---
    And once, I granted a contract system
    for an insurance business and–

[11:44] ---
    My only request is to quit!
[11:46] ---
    You're stubborn.
[11:47] ---
    I can't grant that wish,
    but there are two ways to quit Darwin's Game.

[11:54] ---
    What?!
[11:55] ---
    The first is by completing Darwin's Game.
[12:00] ---
    If the game is completed, the objective is achieved
    and Darwin's Game itself automatically ends.

[12:06] ---
    I would give anything for that conclusion.
[12:10] ---
    What's the other way?
[12:12] ---
    Killing me and completely destroying
    Darwin's Game's system.

[12:20] ---
    Think.
[12:21] ---
    This sucks all around,
    but if you can think of a decent privilege,

[12:25] ---
    you may be able to prevent being killed
    and having to kill other people.

[12:29] ---
    But what kind of privilege would allow for that?
[12:33] ---
    Something to make people hesitate
    before joining D-Game...

[12:36] ---
    If it's a privilege that acts as a deterrent,
    maybe the Game Master would allow it.

[12:44] ---
    I'm ready to make my request.
[12:46] ---
    Right, I'm all ears.
[12:47] ---
    The privilege I want is—
[12:52] ---
    Now that's interesting!
    I'll grant you that privilege!

[12:55] ---
    Oh, I almost forgot...
    I have one more gift for you.

[13:03] ---
    Fire God of Iron.
[13:04] ---
    A new type of Sigil, which is rare in itself.
    But that's the name of your Sigil.

[13:10] ---
    Well, I pray your wish comes true.
[13:14] ---
    Good luck.
[13:29] ---
    It has been two months since
    the large-scale terrorist bombings in Shibuya,

[13:33] ---
    but even now, the truth about
    what happened remains elusive.

[13:38] ---
    The area around the collapsed luxury hotel
    and other locations are still sealed off.

[13:52] ---
    Two months already?
    I've been alone all that time.

[13:56] ---
    You guys are such jerks.
[14:01] ---
    Summer vacation starts tomorrow.
    Where are those guys and what are they doing?

[14:07] ---
    Once upon a time, there were three little pigs.
[14:12] ---
    They left their parents
    and each decided to build a house.
[14:18] ---
    The oldest pig made a house out of straw.
[14:21] ---
    The middle pig made a house out of wood.
[14:24] ---
    The youngest pig made a house out of bricks.
[14:27] ---
    But then a big wolf appeared.
[14:30] ---
    He blew down the house of straw
    and swallowed the pig whole.
[14:35] ---
    Then he burned down the house of wood,
    roasting the pig before gobbling him up.
[14:39] ---
    Finally, the wolf went to the house of bricks...
[14:43] ---
    ...and used a hammer to break through the wall.
[14:45] ---
    He minced up the pig and snarfed him down.
[14:48] ---
    After that, the wolf had a full belly
    and lived happily ever after.
[14:53] ---
    That's not the story as I know it!
[14:55] ---
    So, question. What lesson was I trying
    to impart with this story?
[15:00] ---
    If you're a pig, no matter how hard you work,
    you'll never beat the wolf in the end?
[15:06] ---
    That's a sad parable of
    the survival of the fittest.
[15:08] ---
    Bzzt! Zero points for Sui.
[15:11] ---
    What I wanted to say with this story is...
[15:13] ---
    Straw is out of the question.
    Wood burns far too easily.
[15:16] ---
    And bricks aren't very tremor-resistant.
[15:20] ---
    I rewrote the old story
    to reflect Japan's living conditions.
[15:24] ---
    So you made that story up, Shuka...
[15:29] ---
    The point is, when buying a house,
    I won't compromise when it comes to safety.
[15:34] ---
    You're buying a house?
[15:36] ---
    We formed a clan,
    so now we need a base, right?
[15:39] ---
    You're a member after a fashion,
    so I'll grant you one request.
[15:43] ---
    W-Well, let's see...
[15:45] ---
    If possible, I'd like a home with a yard.
[15:50] ---
    This doesn't have a yard,
    but you could use the roof as a de facto one.
[15:53] ---
    A building?
    You can buy a building in that area?
[15:56] ---
    You can do pretty much anything
    if you've got the money.
[15:59] ---
    Besides, I earned a bundle from that last event.
[16:01] ---
    But do we need a building?
    We don't have that many people.
[16:05] ---
    Like I said, safety is important.
[16:09] ---
    A base isn't just a hangout.
[16:11] ---
    A building is about the only kind
    of structure that's easily fortified,
[16:15] ---
    which is why most of the major clans buy them.
[16:17] ---
    The issue is where to settle down.
[16:21] ---
    This one's in Minato Ward, close to here,
    but it's also kind of close to Shibuya.
[16:25] ---
    I see.
[16:26] ---
    Shibuya is the home turf
    of those scary Eighth guys.
[16:31] ---
    We should really just wipe those bastards out.
[16:41] ---
    I apologize for coming unannounced.
[16:45] ---
    Um, who are you?
[16:47] ---
    I am Hideaki Kanehira
    of the Kanehira Insurance Union.
[16:54] ---
    An insurance company?
[16:56] ---
    I'm a minor, so I can't sign a contract
    with you or any company.
[17:01] ---
    Oh, no, I'm not here to sell you anything.
[17:05] ---
    I'm here to pay insurance money
    to the designated beneficiary, Suzune Hiiragi.
[17:10] ---
    Insurance money?
[17:12] ---
    The sum payable at the death
    of your father, Ichiro Hiiragi.
[17:18] ---
    I would like to offer my deepest sympathy.
[17:21] ---
    Please leave!
[17:23] ---
    Well, it's only natural...
[17:27] ---
    Pardon the intrusion.
[17:29] ---
    Looks like she kicked you out.
[17:31] ---
    I left the check with her.
[17:34] ---
    Well, that's fine, I guess.
[17:36] ---
    I was asked to make sure
    she got the insurance money.
[17:42] ---
    For the Kanehira Insurance Union,
    trust comes first.
[17:45] ---
    By the way, Miss Rein,
    would you introduce me to Kaname Sudo?
[17:50] ---
    It's not like I'm Kaname's manager.
[17:53] ---
    I've heard he's formed a clan.
[17:56] ---
    You have sharp ears.
[17:58] ---
    Oh, no. I don't hold a candle to the Analyst.
[18:01] ---
    I'd just like to be on good terms
    with such a promising clan.
[18:06] ---
    Well, I'll talk to you soon.
[18:12] ---
    That guy is like a phantom, as always.
[18:15] ---
    Insurance man! Please, wa—
[18:19] ---
    I'm so sorry! Are you okay?
[18:25] ---
    Your name is Rein?
[18:27] ---
    That's cool, like the name
    of someone from another country.
[18:29] ---
    Yes, well...
[18:32] ---
    It's a pain when people read my name wrong
    because of the character, though...
[18:36] ---
    It looks like it should be "suzu,"
    but it's really read as "Rein."
[18:39] ---
    Wow! The same as me!
[18:40] ---
    My name also has the character for "suzu,"
    but it's read as "Suzune."
[18:43] ---
    Nice to meet you, Rein.
[18:45] ---
    But I'm really sorry for running into you earlier.
[18:48] ---
    Is your arm okay?
[18:50] ---
    It's almost healed up anyway.
[18:54] ---
    Just before that, a stranger came by
    and dropped off a strange check.
[18:58] ---
    I scrambled after him to return it, when...
[19:01] ---
    It's probably just a prank, but...
[19:04] ---
    Do you think this check is real?
[19:06] ---
    He said he was with some insurance company,
    but seemed really suspicious.
[19:11] ---
    Why don't you take it to a bank
    and have them verify it?
[19:14] ---
    If it is real, it would be a waste not to deposit it.
[19:16] ---
    I-It can't be...
[19:19] ---
    It can't be real.
[19:21] ---
    After all, he said it was money to be paid
    when my father dies!
[19:28] ---
    Suzune, if you're determined to know the truth
    about Ichiro Hiiragi, please contact me.
[19:37] ---
    "Information Broker?"
[19:39] ---
    You know something about my father?
[19:42] ---
    Who are you, Rein?
[19:45] ---
    I just buy and sell information.
[19:47] ---
    Sometimes people call me the Analyst.
[19:55] ---
    DOCTOR'S OFFICE
[19:56] ---
    All right, try moving it.
[19:59] ---
    Do you feel any pain or discomfort?
    Does it move as expected?
[20:03] ---
    This is incredible!
[20:04] ---
    You should've healed Rein, too!
[20:07] ---
    She's almost healed already,
    so better to let nature do the rest.
[20:12] ---
    I really appreciate this.
    I mean, I don't have the words to thank you...
[20:15] ---
    Danjo and Kaede.
[20:17] ---
    That's all right. I'm happy that my Sigil,
    Healing Grace, can be used to help people.
[20:23] ---
    He asked us to treat you as part of his request.
    It's no problem at all.
[20:27] ---
    By the way, can I ask you something?
[20:29] ---
    What is it?
[20:31] ---
    Why do you go by "Kaede" and "Danjo"?
[20:34] ---
    You're both Russian, right?
[20:36] ---
    Oh, you're curious about that?
[20:38] ---
    We may not look like it,
    but we're major Japanophiles!
[20:44] ---
    So just what they look like...
[20:46] ---
    Anyway, you've got a big place here.
[20:49] ---
    How many clan members do you have?
[20:51] ---
    It's not like everyone here
    is involved with D-Game.
[20:54] ---
    We've only got 26 D-Game players.
[20:59] ---
    The Danjo Boxing Club
    was originally a normal kickboxing gym.
[21:03] ---
    So why did you start playing the game?
[21:06] ---
    It'll probably sound silly.
[21:08] ---
    A martial artist is someone who
    seriously aspires to be the strongest in the world.
[21:15] ---
    If you're a martial artist,
    it's something you've thought at least once.
[21:18] ---
    When you're actually facing a blade,
    will your skill see you through?
[21:23] ---
    What if it's a gun?
[21:26] ---
    Or even a tank?
[21:28] ---
    To a martial artist, the Sigils of D-Game
    are equivalent to a demon's temptation.
[21:34] ---
    So are you able to beat a tank nowadays, Danjo?
[21:41] ---
    If it's one on one.
[21:49] ---
    Master Danjo!
[21:50] ---
    Good to see you!
[21:51] ---
    How is he coming along?
[21:53] ---
    To be honest, not bad.
[21:55] ---
    He's only been at it for two months
    and it's just basic bodybuilding...
[21:59] ---
    ...but the kid's got great reflexes and resolve,
[22:02] ---
    so if there's no pinning involved, I could see him
    holding his own in a match against one of his peers.
[22:07] ---
    Oh, really?
    In other words, he's ready.
[22:12] ---
    In any case, that means
    all of your requests have been fulfilled.
[22:16] ---
    Ryuji's injury has been healed
    and your training has made you strong.
[22:20] ---
    So may we proceed with that conversation?
[22:23] ---
    I'd be happy to. Right now?
[22:27] ---
    You're forming a clan and want an alliance with us.
[22:30] ---
    I can sympathize with your principles and purpose.
    We have no problem there.
[22:34] ---
    Then...
[22:35] ---
    However, in an alliance,
    if there aren't merits for both sides,
[22:38] ---
    it definitely will not last.
[22:40] ---
    Without strength, principles and purpose
    are empty and will fade away.
[22:44] ---
    Fight me.
[22:46] ---
    I shall measure whether you are
    worthy of forming an alliance with.
[22:49] ---
    M-Master, you mean to fight him yourself?!
[22:51] ---
    He appeared before me as a fellow clan leader.
[22:55] ---
    Therefore, it has to be me.
[22:58] ---
    This is a match, but come at me
    with everything you've got, Kaname.
[23:02] ---
    Everything? You mean Sigils are okay?
[23:05] ---
    Of course. Anything goes.
[23:07] ---
    My style is "no holds barred."
[23:18] ---
    Oh, so you are home!
[23:26] ---
    You're a friend of Kaname Sudo, right?
[23:30] ---
    Welcome. I've been waiting for you!
[23:35] ---
    NEXT TIME: HEADS UP
[23:36] ---
    Next time, "Heads Up."
